Struggling Morbidelli has to "wing it" in Doha MotoGP race
Apr 4, 2021, 9:35 AM
Franco Morbidelli admits his feeling on his Petronas SRT Yamaha is bad "no matter what we do" and will have to "wing it" in the MotoGP Doha Grand Prix.
Morbidelli had endured a tricky week in the Qatar season opener, after a holeshot device issue meant he finished the first round of 2021 without points in 18th, while on Friday he was forced to unseal a third engine from his allocation following several issues in FP1.
Even without his issues in the first Qatar race, Morbidelli hasn't looked on par with the two factory Yamaha riders having struggled for speed in the evening sessions at Losail.
The SRT rider could only manage 10th in qualifying for the Doha race and admits "nothing is clear" regarding the problems he has been experiencing with his Yamaha this weekend.
"The feeling is bad and it remains averagely bad, no matter what we do," he said. "What changes is the speed. Sometimes I feel a bit better, sometimes I feel a bit faster.
"But then this feeling can go away from a run to another. So nothing is certain and nothing is clear. We don't know where to point.
"What I know is the feeling on the bike is not good and it's difficult. But never surrender."
When asked by Motorsport.com how he approaches Sunday's race with his problems, he added: "I'm going to have to wing it.
"I'm going to have to see how the speed is in the race. I'm really going to have to wing it if we don't find a magical solution.
"We're really going to have to wing it to see how the feeling is going to be like, what the speed is going to be like and react according to what I feel.
"That's the only thing I can do. I'm not a crazy rider, so I will try to not make crazy stuff."

Qatar GP winner Maverick Vinales – whose race pace in FP4 was standout - was again top Yamaha in qualifying for the Doha round, the Spaniard completing the front row in third.
Commenting on his Saturday performance, the championship leader said: "Honestly the front row was very difficult because I didn't have a really good feeling on the first time attack.
"But as soon as I did the second time attack, I understood that the bike was working well and I could push the bike in the correct way.
"We were able to make an incredible lap time and when I saw the lap time, I thought maybe I had the pole. But then I saw myself third."

Altech Chemicals is proceeding with its German equity strategy to sell up to a 49% stake in its high purity alumina, or "HPA", project for USD$100 million to Frankfurt Stock Exchange-listed company, Youbisheng Green Paper.
As part of the strategy, Altech will also acquire a 29% stake in Youbisheng, which will be renamed Altech Advanced Materials, for an initial €500,000 in cash and €1 million in Altech shares to the vendor.
A further cash consideration of €1.23 million is payable by Altech in March next year to complete the deal.
In return, Altech Advanced Materials will be required to pay a €500,000 fee to Altech to secure its right to earn up to a 49% stake in the HPA project.
This right grants the German company an option to acquire a minimum of 10% in Altech's HPA project for USD$20.4m and a maximum of a 49% interest for USD$100 million by subscribing for shares in Altech's wholly-owned subsidiary, Altech Chemicals Australia.
Altech Advanced Materials will now seek to raise up to €70 million in new equity to fund the acquisition of its stake in the HPA project.
Altech Managing Director Iggy Tan said that the company is continuing to pursue other joint venture partner initiatives that are also underway and/or the USD$90 million mezzanine debt work that is progressing with Macquarie Bank.
Following the end of year six after project financial close, Altech has the right to buy back the remaining stake in the HPA project for a valuation that would secure a 15% per annum return for its German partner.
Altech's Meckering deposit has a JORC ore reserve of 1.2 million tonnes grading 30% alumina, which is sufficient to support a mine life of at least 30 years at the expected throughput rate of about 40,000 tonnes per annum.
There is potential for further growth too given that the deposit has a JORC resource of 12.7Mt @ 29.5% alumina.
Stage 1 construction of the company's HPA plant at the Tanjung Industrial complex in Johor, Malaysia, is also progressing well.
The plant will produce up to 4,500 tonnes of HPA from exceptionally pure kaolin clays sourced from Meckering.
HPA is used in high tech applications such as LED lighting, advanced mobile phones and as a separator in lithium-ion batteries to improve both safety and performance.

Mareena Snowden: 1st black woman to get nuclear engineering PhD at MIT
- Mareena Snowden has made history as the first black woman to obtain a PhD in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
- Her fear of maths and science subjects nearly derailed her pursuit of engineering and her recent accomplishment
- With help from her teachers, Snowden studied physics and was later introduced to nuclear engineering when she participated in an a MIT summer research programme
With her latest accomplishment, Mareena Robinson Snowden has inked her name in the history pages as the first black woman to obtain a PhD in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The young achiever reveals engineering was not something she had a passion for while growing up and recalls her earliest memories of maths and science were of nervousness and anxiety and just an overall fear of the subjects.
READ ALSO: DJ Zinhle has a message for fans (and haters): "I'm too blessed"
Eventually, she shook off her fear of the subjects with help from her high school maths and physics teachers.
Her teachers took interest in her and helped broaden her scope and interest beyond her favourite subjects, which included English and history.
Her teachers told her it's more of a growth situation, that she can develop an aptitude for maths and science and eventually develop a skill.
While in 12th grade in Miami where she grew up, Snowden studied physics.
She and her dad were introduced to someone who worked in the physics department at Florida A&M University, CNBC reported.
At the time, she said, she was considering colleges and decided to visit the campus.
''They treated me like a football player who was getting recruited. They took me to the scholarship office, and they didn't know anything about me at the time. All they knew was that I was a student who was open to the possibility of majoring in physics.''
Snowden's journey to becoming the first black woman to earn a PhD from MIT was the culmination of 11 years of post-secondary studies.
Snowden was reportedly introduced to nuclear engineering during her undergraduate years when she participated in MIT's summer research programme.
After her undergraduate years, she applied to pursue graduate study in eight schools and was accepted by MIT's nuclear engineering programme.
On 8 June, 2018, Snowden became the first black woman to earn a PhD in nuclear engineering from the decorated university.

''Grateful for every part of this experience, highs and lows,'' she wrote on Instagram. ''Every person who supported me and those who didn't. Grateful for a praying family, a husband who took on this challenge as his own, sisters who reminded me at every stage how powerful I am, friends who inspired me to fight harder. Grateful for the professors who fought for and against me. Every experience on this journey was necessary, and I'm better for it.''
After finishing her programme at MIT, Snowden completed a fellowship with the National Nuclear Security Administration.
"It's exciting as a researcher to work on something that people are thinking about now, something with real-world implications,'' Snowden said.
''I try to understand how policymakers and negotiators think, explore current nuclear challenges, and then try to evolve technical frameworks to meet the world as it is,'' she added.
Snowden's accomplishment is very important, especially because in 2015, just over 2% of bachelor degrees in physics were earned by African-Americans, according to the American Physical Society.
African-Americans make up almost 15% of the United States' population. Despite this, in 2013, around 5% of PhD recipients in the US were African Americans, and fewer than 1% of PhDs were awarded to African American women.
In other stories, after serving some time in prison owing to a 10-year jail sentence, 100-year-old Akolobila has finally been released after an NGO campaigned to have him set free.
Akolobila was handed a sentence of 10 years to serve at the Kumasi Central Prison after he was arrested by the police for possessing narcotics.
Prior to that untimely and unexpected fate, the 100-year-old man worked as a caretaker of a large farm before being laid off due to old age which affected his ability to deliver maximum output. Akolobila lost his livelihood and at that age, he could not get another job to fend for himself.

Charlie Hunnam
Chad Michael Murray, Dawson's Creek, TV, 1998-2003. Before his breakout role Nathan in the UK's Queer As Folk, 1999-200, Charlie auditioned for another Charlie In creator Kevin Williamson's view of US jeanagers. The role led CMM into 131 chapters of One Tree Hill, 2003-2011, Chosen, Texas Rising and playing Sam Phillips, the first guy to record Elvis, Sam Phillips, in Sun Records, 20017-2018. (Elvis was Drake Milligan). It was at the Creek auditions where b Hunnam met his first wife, Katharine Towne, daughter of top Hollywood screenwriter, Robert (China) Towne. They met and wed within weeks - and divorced inside three years. Meanwhile, Charlie had worked with Dawson star Katie Holmes, after all, in Abandon.
Hayden Christensen, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, 2000.
Mike Vogel, Rumour Has It…, 2004. When auteur Ted Griffiin was dumped from his own project after a few "incredibly slow" days, new helmer, Rob Reiner scratched as s many as four actors from the Griffin line-up. Including Vogel, first cast as the son of Kevin Costner, aka the Inspiration for Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate book and film.
Russell Brand, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 2007. Actor-writer Jason Segel created randy rocker Aldous Snow for Charlie... the UK star of producer Judd Apatow's TV series, Undeclared. Brand stole the entire movie. And won a sequel: Get Him To The Greek, 2009.
Peter Facinelli, Twilight, 2008. Hit novelist Stephenie Meyer cast the film version her way- and very well. Including the Queer As Folk (and Nicholas Nickleby) TV star as Dr Carlisle Cullen. Then, Hollywood got intothe vampiric franchise.
Chris Hemsworth, Thor, 2010. After Brad Pitt passed, 007's Daniel Craig was first choice for the disabled medical student Dr Donald Blake with the mighty Thor as his alter ego. Liam Hemsworth (Chris' younger brother) was among others in contention, such as the future Loki, RoboCop, Tarzan and Magic Mike: Tom Hiddleston, Joel Kinnaman, Alexander Skarsgård, Channing Tatum. Plus the brother Liam Hemsworthj, Hunnam, Paul Levesque, Tyler Mane.
Casey Affleck, Triple Nine, 2013. Shia LaBoeuf had to leave. Hunnam stepped in. Then, he had to go. So, Affleck joined the corrupt cops blackmailed into an "impossible" heist… which involved killing one of their own.
Jamie Dornan, Fifty Shades of Grey, 2013.
"The worst professional experience of my life. It was the most emotionally destructive and difficult thing that I've ever had to deal with professionally," Hunnam told VMan magazine in 2015. "It was heartbreaking." Hunnam ran hot and cold about tackling Christian Grey from the year's most scandalous novel - a dullard slice of BDSM porno. He refused. Nothing, he said, to do with th sexual content. (Hardly after all he did in his breakthrough Queer As Folk TV series). Next, he changed his mind, falling for the book and for Grey. "I started seeing him and becoming intoxicated, which is the way I work: I find a character I love and I start thinking about it all the time." Once he started reading with Dakota Johnson (as Grey's prey, Anastasia Steele), he definitely wanted to do it. " Two months later, he quit. Again. And blamed his Sons of Anarchy series. "I was going to finish Sons at like 11pm Friday night, get on the plane Saturday morning to Vancouver for Fifty, missing the whole first week of rehearsal and start shooting Monday morning. And I was going to shoot that film, wrap that on the Wednesday and the following Monday I was going to start shooting Crimson Peak in Toronto. I just had like... frankly, something of a nervous breakdown. I just said: 'I can't... I can't… There was a lot of personal stuff going on… that left me on real emotional shaky ground - and mentally. Fifty was going to be massive. I really didn't want to fail on such a grand scale. I just couldn't transition from Jax Teller to Christian Grey in 48 hours. I bit off more than I could chew."
Mark Wahlberg tried to buy the novel. Social networks suggested everyone from Robert Pattinson, Matt Smith to Henry Cavill (well, S/M also stands for Superman) and Captain America Chris Evans (as if Marvel would allow that). The suits had eyes only for Ryan Gosling. No way, said he. Most wise. Next targets were Luke Bracey (the inevitable Aussie), Patrick J Adams, Stephen Amell, François Arnaud (well versed in jiggery-pokery in The Borgias series), Christian Cooke, Dominic Cooper (perfect, surely?), Scott Eastwood, ex-UK model David Gandy, Theo James, another Aussie Daniel McPherson, Billy Magnussen, Ryan Paevey - and Alexander Skarsgård, playing Tarzan by then with an Anastasia Steele hopeful, Margot Robbie. (Hunnam had also been in the ape-man mix). As for the Belgian hunk, Matthias Schoenaerts - he fell asleep reading the scenario. Oh, and author EL James vetoed any idea of of Dornan's pal, Eddie Redmayne! They were all lucky to escape the turgid, totally un-erotic enterprise. Only 14 minutes and 17 seconds of sex, no orgasms - and pubes added digitally to actors' genital patches!! And poor Dornan was a zero without his beard.
Alexander Skarsgård, The Legend of Tarzan, 2014. Warner Bros was keen. Charlie, not so much. Next? Fellow Brits Henry Cavill, already the studio's Superman and Napoleon Solo (and a lot of good that did him!) and Tom Hardy. Plus, in the hallowed Johnny Weissmuller tradition, US Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps - the most decorated Olympian, with 23 gold medals from five Games, during 2000-2016. The other American in the jungle mix was Matt Barr, a Hunnam lookalike from Texas – and Kevin Costner's Hatfields & McCoys minii-series. The ape-man is a Skarsgård family hero. Poppa Stellan showed the Weissmuller films to his seven sons. Alexander is the oldest and hoped the youngest, Kolbjörn, would not consider him "a shit Tarzan"! He had to wait until the delayed 2016 summer release to find out.
Casey Affleck, Triple 9,2015. Title is US PD code for: officer down. Chris Pine was the young cop forever chewing gum who turned into LasBeouf, then Charlie Hunnam, and finally, Affleck, in this Kosher Nostraheist, stuffed with A-listers but listing in the wrong direction. Tighter, faster, it could have been something better than Rerservoir Puppies.
Ewan McGregor, Zoe, 2017. Despite a nine-year age difference, McGregor took over from a busy Hunnam as Léa Seydoux's colleague, designing technology to perfect romantic relationships, something more profound than either ever imagined possible.

Today, I just completed declaring my income to the Inland Revenue online. It was fairly simple although I would have appreciated a better description of each field. Kudos to Malaysia for taking it a step further!!! The good thing of the whole online process was that I did not have to be physically present in Malaysia to do it.
My company e-mailed me a scanned copy of the EA form which assisted me in doing my e-filling online. The presentation conducted by the Inland Revenue at my office was also beneficial as most of us have never done a tax declaration before.
All you need is your 16 digit pin number provided by the Inland Revenue and your IC number. I am not too sure on how people who don't have their pin numbers can retrieve them. I am pretty sure the friendly people at your closest tax office can assist. Call them at the number on their website.
What does that figures mean to people that are paying taxes in Malaysia? Well, that means you can spend that amount which will be rebated from your taxable income. For me, I will be purchasing a new PC and RM 1,000 worth of reading materials. However, do remember to keep your receipts for up to six years because it is the right for the Inland Revenue to request for them during that duration. That is the law that hasn't change.

Bromelain for Arthritis: Will It Help?
PUBLISHED 07/26/19	BY Kimberly Hiss
This pineapple-derived compound has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, but it's not a magic remedy for arthritis.
If you've ever Googled "natural arthritis remedies" you've likely run into something called bromelain, which is a group of enzymes found in the fruit and stem of the pineapple plant. In addition to treating ailments like digestive issues, sinusitis, bronchitis, and muscle soreness, bromelain is used as a home remedy for arthritis.
"I've had scores of osteoarthritis patients who rely on their bromelain," says Amy Rothenberg, ND, a licensed naturopathic doctor in Northampton, Massachusetts, who has been prescribing bromelain for all the 34 years she's been in practice. "People are less aware of bromelain than better-known supplements like turmeric. But most are happy to learn it's derived from a simple pineapple, and they're surprised by how well it can work."
Exactly how bromelain may help to relieve osteoarthritis joint pain has been the subject of multiple research studies, with findings identifying both anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties.
"Pineapple has been used as part of traditional folk medicine since ancient times and it continues to be present in various herbal preparations," says a 2016 review paper in the journal Biomedical Reports.
Does Bromelain Works to Help Arthritis? What the Research Says
While the exact mechanisms of how bromelain works aren't well-known, it's believed that bromelain has anti-inflammatory chemicals that fight pain and inflammation. Study findings are generally positive, but mixed.
One 2006 review in the journal Arthritis Research in Therapy analyzed studies on a number of alternative remedies for arthritis, including bromelain. It found that bromelain was more effective than the pain reliever diclofenac at relieving osteoarthritis knee pain (according to patient reports of symptom improvement) in seven randomized trials; however, in two trials, researchers found that bromelain was no more effective than a placebo.
A 2004 review study in the journal Evidence-Based Complimentary and Alternative Medicine said that bromelain may have the potential to "provide a safer alternative or adjunctive treatment for osteoarthritis."
The 2016 Biomedical Reports paper concluded that "bromelain has been recognized as a safe and successful type of therapeutic agent, and is being used by individuals worldwide for a number of ailments, such as bronchitis, sinusitis, arthritis, and inflammation."
Such papers recommend more research to better understand bromelain's effectiveness for arthritis. But in the meantime, a number of arthritis patients — like those who see Dr. Rothenberg — say bromelain is helping their daily lives.
"I have a woman in her fifties who is into golf but has arthritis in her knees," says Dr. Rothenberg. "If she takes bromelain right before and right after, she says she has a much better time on the course." Dr. Rothenberg has similarly seen bromelain help ease symptoms in osteoarthritis patients ranging from a 30-something training for a triathlon to employees who have developed wrist and finger issues from regular computer use.
There is more research about bromelain and osteoarthritis than there is on bromelain for inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis.
How Bromelain is Taken
In order to get any clinical benefits from bromelain, you'll need to do more than just pile extra pineapple on your Hawaiian pizza. As a supplement, bromelain is sold in a number of forms, from capsules and tablets to creams and powders. A clinician can help you understand how best to take it.
"When treating a specific, targeted condition, supplements are often given in therapeutic doses," says Ginger Hultin, a Seattle-based registered dietitian, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and owner of ChampagneNutrition. "A supplement may yield the most potent effects but those often come with side effects or potential drug/nutrient interactions. Food sources are always safest, but may not always be the most effective."
As for how much bromelain to take, it's your provider's job to figure out the correct dosage for your complaint and weight so that you can see efficacy, says Rothenberg.
"I'll usually tell patients to use 500 mg tablets two to three times per day," she says, adding that bromelain works best when taken between meals so it competes less with other foods you may be consuming.
There is some evidence that both potatoes and soybeans could inhibit bromelain's activity in the body, Hultin adds.
Is Bromelain Safe?
While it's crucial to consider possible side effects, drug interactions, allergic reactions, and other concerns with any medication or supplement, part of bromelain's appeal as an arthritis remedy is its relative safety.
Potential side effects of bromelain include stomach upset and diarrhea. Stick to the recommended dosages on the packaging of bromelain supplements, because as an enzyme it can be hard on the stomach if taken in too high of a dose, Rothenberg points out.
"Bromelain tends to play nicely in the sandbox, so it works well in people who are on other anti-inflammatories, either natural or pharmaceutical," Rothenberg says. However, there are certain foods, medications, and supplements that shouldn't be mixed with bromelain.
Patients who are allergic to pineapple should avoid bromelain, even in supplement form.
Bromelain may interact with certain medications and supplments. "There are potential moderate drug interactions with [the antibiotic] amoxicillin and blood-thinning medications or supplements," says Hultin. "Because bromelain is a potential blood thinner, use caution if you're having any type of surgery and discuss its use with your medical team."
Any time you take a new supplement or medication, you need to make sure it's safe to take with the other medications and supplements you're already using. Bring a complete list of all your medications, vitamins, and supplements to your health care provider to review.
Keep in mind that supplements like bromelain aren't tested for safety and regulated by the FDA the same way that prescription drugs are. Products can have additional ingredients or different dosages than what's listed on the packaging.
Should You Consider Taking Bromelain for Arthritis?
While bromelain has reported benefits for arthritis symptoms, clinicians are quick to point out that it shouldn't replace the medication or treatment that your doctor has recommended.
Talk to your health care provider about any alternative remedies you want to add to your arthritis treatment plan to make sure they're safe and may be effective for you.
Any supplements you use should also be part of general lifestyle changes known to help relieve arthritis, including diet, exercise, and stress management.
"Bromelain can be part of an overall treatment plan for arthritis that also includes making dietary changes, reducing alcohol, and promoting mindfulness," says Dr. Rothenberg.
As a dietitian, Hultin's focus is overhauling the diet and making it generally more anti-inflammatory. "The food we eat can be either pro-inflammatory — think trans fats often added in shelf-stable processed foods — or it can be anti-inflammatory, which calms the irritation in the body. Think omega-3 fatty acids [cold water fish, hemp and chia seeds, and walnuts] and fruits and veggies that contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants."

A friend who is looking for a flat to rent asked me to speak to someone about it. She cautioned me to make sure I inform them that she is Catholic. She said she and a Muslim friend had had a lot of trouble in another city when they went looking for a place to rent.
They claimed it was to do with eating non-veg, she said.
I rubbished that. It's not like all Hindus are vegetarians. If that was the problem they'd have stated it upfront.
Even though I shouldn't have been surprised - after all, there have been enough stories and news items about such discrimination - it left me feeling vaguely disturbed, this reminder of the prejudice and discrimination in my country.
Such a person, who doesn't want someone of another religion using their property, must not care to ever make friends with someone of a different religion. To eat together, to visit their homes, to learn about them. What a pathetic, narrow life.
I am actually not surprised. When I was working in Vijayawada, I was also on the lookout for a house and I faced this at various fronts - first, if I ate non-veg. While I can still understand that, what was even worse was when people wanted to know my caste (no, not religion. These were Hindu families whose criteria for renting the house was that I belong to a particular caste). To say I was disgusted is an understatment.
On a similar note, try watching a story from the movie Dus Kahaaniyan. The story's name is "Rice Plate". Very interesting.
Yes, it's real. I've come to think that the non-veg angle is only a convenient way of saying 'no'. But people are just more comfortable living with people like themselves. Plus having 'undesirable' elements brings down the property rates of the locality.
I think sometimes it's about religious intolerance, sometimes just about preference. In spite of being born a Hindu Brahmin, I was asked not to occupy a certain apartment if I was going to cook non-veg. I wouldn't, but what if my flat mate wanted to... I refused.
Also, we asked the same question about non-veg to our tenants, because my mom doesn't prefer that to be cooked in her kitchen. In our case it was pure preference. I guess people assume (and not without reason) that Christians and Muslims have non-veg and therefore cook it at home too. Although, we'd never ever discriminate based on religion... we've had wonderful friends from among other faiths.
Emma: I'm sorry you had to face that. I've never faced anything of the sort yet, and in the less than three years I've lived in Pune, I've rented flats from a Catholic, a Muslim, and a Hindu.
Sujeet: I'm so glad to see you here! Will try to catch the movie.
Banno: I suppose so. I should look out for an atheist, feminist colony then. Let me know if you hear of any.
Pallu: It may be about preference if you object to have someone cook non-veg in your home - in which case you'll ask them upfront. It is definitely bigotry if you object after you find out the person has a Catholic or Muslim name.
I have been around quite a few blogs today and many of them are discussing this issue of intolerance - I am rather shocked to hear about this kind of discrimination.
I wonder what happens when people live in apartment complexes - do they object to people of other religions occupying neighbouring flats - can they even? then why this hypocrisy about not being able to do that when they live in houses?
The pettiness of my countrymen never ceases to surprise me.
On the other hand, there are the Hindus and Muslims of Gujarat who co-exist because of their trade interests. They know that despite the Godhra incident and the riots, they must continue work with members of another religion because that makes economic sense. The same argument is given for why Lucknow has never witnessed religious riots.
The only reason when biases can be put aside are when economics rules your mind.
I so agree with your point about it being bigotry. Since ours is a matter of preference, we've even turned down or avoided renting out our place to people from our own caste!
On a similar note, I've seen my in-laws fearing to buy a house in many areas in Gujarat because it's dominated by folks from another religion. I think, even though they don't have anything against folks from other faiths, it's the past occurrences of violence that keep them frightened. I'm sure Muslims also hold similar fears... what with the VHP and other such miscreants around. It's such a mess we've created!
Hi, saw an old comment, clicked on it and guess what I find? Hope you are well. I find this deeply problematic personally courtesy a wonderfully mixed-up and thoroughly Gandhian upbringing, which has resulted in me being a card-carrying member of 2 religions. I also have an uncategorizable name. Of course, the 'officials' of the religions in question are unaware of this state of affairs. When I got a passport, when I got married etc. this became a problem. My parents disapprove, though they dare not say it since they are partly responsible for this. Members of each try to claim me as their own and get upset when I explain that I see no difference between the two.
Newly arrived in London, I was the victim of a bizarre public rant by a very influential Hindutva type who called me 'deracinated' and 'untrustworthy' and compared me to 'white trash' in front of my horrified boss and a roomful of senior academics (they were stunned and furious on my behalf, I amused).
And seeing the 'my religion or nothing' direction in which Indian politics is going, I now feel insecure in India, being neither here nor there in terms of religion. I am so fed up I think I might become a Buddhist. At least they have the sophistication to understand the concepts of mutual respect and multiple allegiances. Just kidding;-) I don't see the point in so-called 'conversions' (for want of a better word). One's beliefs are a private matter and not upto pandits/padres/mullahs/rabbis. Like Gandhiji said, the crux of all religions is the same: love and mutual respect. Pity we are distorting it beyond all recognition. I worry for my (yet-to-be-born) kids. But it's nice to see so many sensible people commenting on your post. Makes me feel a bit normal (and safer, to be honest). Maybe no one will want to kill me in a riot. Maybe they all will. Who knows?
@Usha - There are people who want to know how many Muslims live in an apartment complex before they buy a house there. In Mumbai it started or became quite open after the 1992-93 riots.
I seem to remember that the flat was finally sold to the people it had been pledged to. I admire the Madhavi Kapoor for fighting for them.
D: I suppose you are right. But in that case, aren't flatowners acting against their economic interest by refusing to rent to people of a different religion?
Pallu: Indeed. I wouldn't blame people of other religions if they feel insecure, with the kind of environment we have created for them.
Nevermind: I'm so sorry you feel that way. To tell the truth, I feel insecure in India sometimes, even though I belong to the majority religion by birth. I can only hope things improve.
IHM: Ah, but what my friend faced was in Bangalore. And I suppose it happens everywhere.
One positive thing though: when the Guy told our landlord that my friend is interested in renting the flat, and told him she is Catholic, he said there was no problem. My friend since decided against it, but the landlord's easy assent made me feel better.

San Francisco's Embarcadero, one of the city's most popular destinations for Bay Area residents and visitors, was the scene of a shooting Wednesday evening that left a woman dead and a man detained for questioning as a person of interest.
The fatal incident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. on Pier 14, a pedestrian pier atop a breakwater south of the Ferry Building and Mission Street. Officers responding to calls found a woman with a gunshot wound in the upper torso, according to Officer Carlos Manfredi, a police spokesman.
The woman was transported in critical condition to San Francisco General Hospital, where she died shortly before 8:30. She was from Pleasanton and was 31 years old.
Witnesses on the scene heard no argument or dispute before the gunfire, according to Manfredi, which suggests that the incident was random. However, he stressed during a news conference at the scene that the investigation was still in its preliminary stages.

By the time Manfredi met with reporters, police who descended on the area had found a man hiding on the Embarcadero at Townsend Street, one block north of AT&T Park. He matched the description of a person of interest who had been on the long, narrow pier at the time of the shooting, and he was held for questioning. No information about him was released, and he has not been charged. No other person of interest is being sought.
"It appears she was here with family," Manfredi said, standing in front of yellow police tape on a promenade that attracts thousands of strollers and joggers each day. Behind the tape, sitting on benches, were a dozen or so people who had been on or near Pier 14 at the time of the shooting. They had been questioned but remained on hand in case they were needed by investigators.
Asked the last time that such a shooting had occurred in the area, Manfredi paused for a moment and then said, "It doesn't happen often."

Goals from Pedro Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata gave Chelsea a deserved 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes of Saturday's London derby against Arsenal, with the Blues completely in control as they repeatedly carved open their opponents at will.
Arsenal clawed their way back into the game in the 37th minute when Henrikh Mkhitaryan drilled in a low shot that Kepa Arrizabalaga - the world's most expensive goalkeeper making his home debut - will have been disappointed to have let in.
Chelsea have won both of their Premier League games under Sarri, but were well beaten against Manchester City in the Community Shield.
"Not in this moment", said Sarri, who bemoaned a "horrible" final 15 minutes of the first-half that saw Chelsea throw away their advantage. We have to work, to improve, but in my opinion in two months we can be a very good team.
"Three points is an important target for us, we did very well for 75 minutes but inside that, 15 minutes were terrible", he said.
"It was important that after three years of inconsistency in playing time in Madrid, I've got into a team that wants me and a coach that wants and trust me - that's how [the] Chelsea [loan] happened".
"The defensive phase of all the team, all players".
"In the second half we played with two midfielders, 19 and 21 years old". Goal, no goal, we need to continue working. "Unfortunately we weren't able to take all our chances".
However, Chelsea want Loftus-Cheek to stay and fight for his place despite the player being upset at being dropped from the squad.
Eden Hazard intends to remain at Chelsea this year but offered no assurances about his future beyond that. "I'm happy here, I do not want to talk about that yet", he told RMC Sport after Chelsea beat Arsenal 3-2. "Also, I think to play 25-30 minutes when the intensity of the game is going down, is better", he said. And now Mourinho is said to be adamant that Martial should leave before the European transfer window closes, but Woodward is keen to hold on unless they can get some serious money for the Frenchman.
Putin also agreed co-ordinated steps with Trump at their Helsinki summit last month to try to stabilise the situation. The United States claims it will increase Germany's dependence on Russian Federation for energy.

The Hollywood Reporter Next Best Thing: Ansel Elgort
Articles Interview Photos Videos • Emily / 0 Comments
Before he landed the male lead in October's Carrie, Ansel Elgort was just another theater rat hoping for a break. Now the son of fashion photographer Arthur Elgort has leading roles in two major YA films. He plays Shailene Woodley's brother in Divergent, out March 28, and her love interest in June's much-hyped adaptation, The Fault in Our Stars. Raised in New York as a ballet dancer and theater performer, the part-time music producer will round out his year with Jason Reitman's Men, Women & Children.
When did you know you wanted to be an actor?
It was more that I wanted to be a performer. I was at the School of American Ballet, and they put me in the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center. That was my first time performing, and it was in front of 3,000 people. I loved it.
How did you go about getting your first film role?
With Carrie, I did like seven auditions. I'd never done a movie, so they wanted to make sure I wasn't going to ruin it. I don't blame them.
How do you explain getting such major roles so early on in your career?
Even my agents and everyone are sort of saying that you're not supposed to get them. They've never really had anyone who's done this really quickly. I guess it would have to be that I did a lot of stage first. I've been performing and working for a while. I put a lot of work into it. It was really nonstop for years. Even after signing with my manager at 16, I said I wanted to finish up high school and finish my training.
What makes you nervous about your success?
Not having time to chill in my apartment and play Call of Duty. I just moved to Brooklyn, and I'm paying rent, but I'm always on the road. I hope it slows down for a second — I'm freaking 19 years old.
What kind of career would you like?
I would like to do more independent films. In the meantime, I spend a lot of time on Ansolo, my music alter ego.
What's your best Hollywood moment so far?
I went to a Golden Globes party, this CAA party. All of sudden, I go to a party where there are more A-listers than normal people. It was a pretty ridiculous experience. It didn't make sense to me that I would go to the party and the entire dance floor would be Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock, P. Diddy and Michael Fassbender.
You've got two big movies this year. Are you ready for that sort of fame?
Not really, no. I'm just going to try to keep my life as normal as I can. I'm sure it'll change, but hopefully I don't become a dick, you know? Hopefully people will respect my privacy a little bit. With passionate fans, it just means as an artist, you have people who care about the art you make, forever. That's really special.

GREAT BAY—Considering the concerns over the human rights record of the nation of Israel, why would the Caribbean seek closer economic and trade ties with such a country? That may be the view expressed by some who would have read of the representation of St. Maarten at a business forum hosted by Israel in Barbados last month.
Israel is seeking to forge closer ties with the Caribbean and to see where both the nation and the region could engage in business and trade. Some pundits have slammed Israel for what they deem as its poor human rights record in the ongoing conflict between them and the Palestinians. Both nations and allies of the Palestinians engage in an ongoing conflict over the prized Gaza strip of land that borders the countries.
Greg Arrindell of the Downstreet Business Council was invited and attended the conference. He is optimistic of good trade relations being developed with Israel and he is not fazed by the comments that some may have of seeking to develop a closer relationship with Israel. "We are people of belief, a spiritual belief who believe in God," Arrindell noted, adding that the Israelis are descendants of the chosen people of God. He argued that now an opportunity is present for the Caribbean through a partnership with Israel and we should not miss out this opportunity.
According to Arrindell, the Caribbean has had close ties with Israel even before it became a nation in 1948. He also noted that St. Maarten has opened its borders to all other nations including the Arab race who are perceived enemies of Israel and St. Maarten at the same time can open up to Israel as well. He argued that local St. Martiners are struggling in St. Maarten and the partnership with Israel will provide opportunities for local to develop and reach higher levels of success.
According to Arrindell several areas were discussed at the business conference in Barbados. These include sustainability, development, security, technology, trade of food, construction and opportunity for aid. On the issue of security, Arrindell noted the focus was not just on defense, but cyber security, in which Israel has much success.
On the issue of food, Arrindell noted that Israel, despite the challenges has been able to develop agriculture rapidly and could share this expertise with the Caribbean. "They were able to become very creative in developing the necessary technology by also developing the necessary strategies to be able to provide food for themselves," Arrindell said.

Alright, so maybe Norman Bates, who once claimed that "A boy's best friend is his mother," is the creepiest on-screen mama's boy.
But the title character of the film Cyrus runs a close second.
In the film, Cyrus (Jonah Hill) does everything he can to interfere with the budding relationship between his mother, Molly (Marisa Tomei), and John (John C. Reilly), a lonely and depressed guy who thinks he's finally found the right woman, until he meets her son and sees the creepy, truly dysfunctional relationship they have.
John and Cyrus engage in some serious psychological warfare, some of which is quite funny, and Molly clearly doesn't see or understand what's wrong with the relationship.
Reilly and Tomei are both good, and Hill gives a decidedly more low-key performance than I've seen him give.
As noted, the film has some good laughs, and it's generally pretty engaging.
Does it drag a little bit? Yeah.
Is some of the humor a little broad? Yes.
But overall, Cyrus is a decent movie with a memorable line of dialogue that I'll be quoting — and maybe even wearing— for some time, and I'd say see it.
I'm giving the film a B.

The hard wired connection between a light bulb and the designed interaction with a game controller is the main topic of the sculpture "Verstärker" (Amplifier). In this way the daily use of electric light is addressed by the very abstract work. At the turn of the nineteenth century the light bulb was a symbol for the growing belief in technical progress. Also, the light bulb is just simply a symbol for light, spirit, and idea. In the work "Verstärker" a light bulb is used as a feedback media. The usual displays, like monitors or colorfull flashing displays are reduced to a bulb, which turns on and off, to one pixel, becoming lighter and darker. This reduction is effected with regard to the input media. The controller of the PlayStation becomes the real attraction of this pice, because of its tangible and sculptural qualities. The flashing lights, known from the world of computer games are not just follows the purpose to allure people into gambling halls as eye catchers, but most of all to enhance dramatic moments in the game. The flashing light/dark light therefore intensifies the sensuousness of the video game. By playing with "Verstärker" it becomes clear, how much quality this effect has, at the same time, computer games are critically examined as superficial light games.

Wildlife habitat rules withdrawn
By Kumar Sambhav Shrivastava
Published: Thursday 31 March 2011
The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests has withdrawn its latest guidelines for creating inviolate space for wildlife. The decision to withdraw the critical wildlife habitat (CWH) guidelines followed a March 4 meeting between environment minister Jairam Ramesh, non-profits working on tribal rights, wildlife activists and the chief wildlife wardens of states.
The ministry was under fire because the guidelines issued on February 7 did not follow the criteria and procedure for declaring CWH provided in the Forest Rights Act (FRA) of 2006 and threatened the interests of forest dwellers (see 'Misguided rules', Down To Earth, March 15, 2011). Ramesh said the ministry will prepare a fresh draft by April-end which will be in consonance with FRA. The new guidelines will be finalised after public consultations.
While the objective of the guidelines withdrawn seemed to be relocating people from CWH, the aim of the new guidelines will be to conserve the ecology of such areas, Ramesh said. He also directed National Tiger Conservation Authority to draft new guidelines for declaring tiger reserves and 'implementation protocol' for relocating people from critical tiger habitats in two weeks.

Janja Bec
Janja Beč Neumann is Serbian-born sociologist, genocide researcher, writer and lecturer. She holds BSc in Engineering of Technology (University of Belgrade) and PhD in Sociology (University of Zagreb, University of Cambridge). She is a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars.
In her scientific work she concerns herself in research and lecture with the topics War Crimes, Genocide and Memories at the territories of the former Yugoslavia. She established the MA Course on War Crimes, Genocide and Memories, the first such course to be set up in South-Eastern Europe since the 1992-1995 Bosnian war. She has written numerous academic publications as well as theater-plays on these topics.
Beč Neumann has been known as a rare voice in Serbia calling for recognition that genocide was perpetrated against Muslims in the Bosnian war. Considered an authoritative voice on the Srebrenica genocide, she has described the explanations given by Bosnian Serb officials including the Republika Srpska president Nebojša Radmanović for their refusal to attend the collective burial and commemoration ceremonies for the victims as "shameful" and regards the Dutch battalion of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) who expelled civilian refugees from their compound at Potocari in July 1995 as accomplices in what happened.
She describes denial as the last phase of genocide which takes generations to confront, as shown in the case of Germany.
In 2005 she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.


Caffeine speeds us up, Ambien slows us down. Fast or slow, in America race is always there, much as we still spend huge amounts of energy denying it, trying not to face it. Is Starbucks' closing of 8000 stores "facing it"? Yes, in a way, but Roseanne Barr's follow-up tweet blaming Ambien for the racist tweet she aimed at "vj" shows how deep racism goes. Sanofi Aventis, the company that makes zolpidem tartrate (Ambien), quipped that its drug had several side effects, but racism wasn't one of them. There are formidable social, cultural, and economic structures in place to keep racism going strong for decades to come, but Barr's "excuse" shows that all these together might not equal the strength of those implicit, Ambien-deep biases that might keep it going for much longer than that.
Will we ever get deep enough? Will attacking systemic racism finally end up changing our deep national and personal psyches, even our spirits, without too much real soul searching? Starting there is better than nothing, but it may not be deep enough. Implicit bias training—all these things driven by good will—might not be either. It's ironic that Starbucks, of all companies, should have been the site of one—there are so many!—of our more recent, prominent racial incidents. This was the company that not too long ago launched an ill-fated "Race Together" initiative aimed at getting people to talk about race. But it's also a company whose very presence in a neighborhood often signals the gentrification of that neighborhood, a process that often pushes blacks, other minorities, and poorer people away. In this complex light, one of Barr's latest tweets notches up the irony (or white self-pity). You're tired of being smeared? Oh, really.

Google Drive might be launched next week
While rumors of a cloud storage service from Google have been circulating for a long time, a new report claims that Google Drive will be launched next week.
tech reviews Updated: Apr 17, 2012 18:58 IST
"Citing a draft release from one of Google's launch partners for the service, TheNextWeb claims the service will initially be free, giving out 5 GB of storage to every user. The details on how, exactly, Google Drive will integrate with your PC are scarce; 'desktop folder' integration on Mac and Windows machines is mentioned, but not explained," Mashable reports.
This rumor was followed by TechCrunch post which shows a screenshot from an early build of the OS X Google Drive application. The screenshot suggests that the application would be locally installed and would support integration with other Google applications.
If launched, Google Drive will compete with online storage services such as Apple's iCloud or Dropbox and Microsoft's SkyDrive.

In August of this year the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Moscow and Cairo has been celebrated.

Keywords: Myanmar, ASEAN, movement "969", Buddhists, Burmese Muslims, Rohingya Muslims, radical monks, Ashin Wirathu, Aung San Suu Kyi.
One of destabilizing factors in the process of democratization in Myanmar is religious strife. Since the outbreak of violence in Arakan State in 2012 more clashes between Buddhists and Burmese Muslims have broken out around the country, from Meikthila in central Myanmar to Lashio in the Shan State. Whereas during the period of the military junta ethnic tensions were supressed by strict military rule, new found freedom of speech permits Buddhist monks, such as Ashin Wirathu, to spread ideas of religious intolerance and fan the flames of Islamofobia.

Sacred Gold Full Game Free Version iOS Mobile Setup Download
Sacred Gold is an isometric action RPG. The game has a technically open world. From the very beginning, the user can go wherever he wants. But the regions are inhabited by monsters of varying degrees of power. Therefore, the gamer is still forced to move along the storyline and go to other zones only after his hero is pumped. You can travel around the locations not only on foot, but also on horseback. However, before entering the dungeons, you will have to get off the mount.
In the Russian-speaking space, the project is also known as the "Prince of Darkness". The Gold re-release includes the original game and the Underworld DLC. The gameplay is based on frequent battles with crowds of opponents, improving the protagonist, searching for cool loot. Equipment is divided into different degrees of rarity. There are also set items. The process of pumping in places is unusual. The hero earns experience for killing enemies and completing side or main quests. With an increase in the level, he receives points for pumping characteristics and passive skills. But active skills are mined differently. Runes sometimes drop out of opponents (and they are also issued as a reward for completing tasks). This is what skits are. They allow you to make combos. Unnecessary stones can be exchanged for the ones you need from special NPCs. To upgrade a skill,
You can play as one of 8 characters:
The dark elf is a melee fighter that relies on traps and poison;
Vampiress – a warrior who can turn into a vampire (each form has its own abilities);
Dwarf – can not ride, but the only one who knows how to shoot from firearms;
Battle mage – owns blades or staves and specializes in casting spells;
Seraphim – a girl in whose family there were angels, well-versed in both blades and magic;
Gladiator – a classic warrior who prefers to fight enemies up close;
The Wood Elf is an archer who uses bows and arrows and also knows a couple of defensive spells;
Demoness – can fly (including over water), fight with almost all weapons and conjure a little.

The distance between Boston and Singapore is more than geographic, however. While I was away, H1N1 reclaimed the national spotlight back home. Not a day went by without mention of it in the news. It became the topic of conversation among doctors and patients everywhere. Well, almost everywhere.
While everyone in Singapore knew of H1N1, it was hardly the hot topic it had become in the States. During my stay, the main paper in Singapore ran just one article on H1N1 informing its readership that the first vaccine doses wouldn't arrive for several more weeks.
To my surprise, the Singaporeans I met took this news in stride. One reason for this is that many Singaporeans perceive (and rightly so) that H1N1 is, in many ways, no worse than the seasonal flu that comes every year. In addition, Singaporeans have endured two much more deadly epidemics in the past decade, making H1N1 pale in comparison. In 1998, the first known outbreak of Nipah virus occurred in Malaysia and Singapore infecting 276 people, 105 of whom died. In this and eight subsequent outbreaks in India and Bangladesh the virus has earned the grim reputation of being one of the deadliest viruses known, with a mortality rate between 40 and 80 percent. Nipah virus resides in bats (the "reservoir", as bats do not get sick when infected). Bats infect pigs, and exposure to infected pigs causes disease in humans.

Of the three primary components of working capital performance, the payables area is perhaps the most problematic.
Companies with higher gross or net profits margins should have a lower percentage of payables per dollar of sales than companies with lower margins.
The reason why the latter element is somewhat controversial is that to make improvements to working capital (and therefore cash flow), a company has to stretch out payments to suppliers, which is great for a company's own metrics but comes at the expense of its suppliers' own cash flows and financial metrics.
For the past several years, SCDigest has performed analysis on the working capital data for the 1000 largest US companies compiled by REL, a Hackett Group company. We focus on the inventory component (see Inventory Performance 2013), but for the second time will also look at the payables trends as well. The data for the 2014 report is for the 2013 financial year.
It is especially interesting to see the 2013 numbers in the context of continuing reports that a number of companies, especially in the consumer products sector, are significantly extending payment terms for suppliers.
That means an increase in DPO is an improvement, and a decrease a deterioration. For working capital and cash flow purposes, stretching out supplier payments is a good thing, regardless of the "business ethics" questions that could arise.
Despite the seeming trends in the consumer packaged goods sector discussed above, REL found that DPO was actually up just slightly in among across the 1000 public companies it follows, coming in at 32 days, up just a smidgen from 31.8 days in 2012.
In fact, somewhat surprising to SCDigest, average DPO was actually decreasing steadily from 2002 through 2008 and the start of the recession, falling over that time from 35.5 days to just 28.2. It then started to go the other direction after the great recession before flattening out the past three years, at levels still a more than a day shy of where this metric was in 2002.
How does that square with reports of vendors greatly lengthening their payment terms? We're not quite sure.
While SCDigest loves the REL working capital data, we will note DPO is a unique and difficult metric, as suppliers facing extended payment terms are likely to raise prices to compensate for the late payments, mitigating the cash flow advantages from the longer terms.
Below is a table of DPO results in 2013 and 2012 by sector, based on SCDigest's efforts to recategorize the REL data into better sector groups. It is sorted by the sectors with the highest DPO, meaning they stretch out overall payments the longest, to those with the lowest DPO.
While the range of DPO across sectors is not surprisingly tighter than the extremely wide range of Days Inventory Outstanding, there are still some pretty significant differences. We will also note that differences across certain sectors or companies in overall business metrics could explain some difference in DPO, rather than coming from differences in payment practices.
For example, companies with higher gross or net profits margins should have a lower percentage of payables per dollar of sales than companies with lower margins.

Georgina Pither was born 1851 at St. Marylebone. Her father, Charles Pither was a Merchants Clerk.
1874. The wedding certificate of Augustus and Georgina states that Augustus was living at Gordon Square, All Saints and was also a Merchants Clerk. The fact that Augustus and Georgina's father shared the same occupation may have been the cause of their meeting. Witnesses to the wedding were Edward Tilbury and Mary Pither.
1875. Augustus William was living at 43 Charlotte St, St. Marylebone (presumably with Georgina) at the time of his father's death.
1881. The Census taken in 1881 shows Augustus W. Tilbury (29, clerk in shipping firm), Georgina (30) and children Augustus C. Tilbury (6), George H. Tilbury (3) and Florence Tilbury (2) living at 2 Cambridge Tce, Camberwell.

Sydney District Court.
Friday, June 4.
HIGGS v. SLARKS (Continued).— Witness ordered these charts through McNeil aad Coffee, to be delivered to him as required, and on payment. There was no agreement in writing about them. Did not know the trade price of these charts in America. Out of the £2 2s the sale price McNeil and Coffee got 27s, and witness 15s. Plaintiff admitted that there was a difference between the sample shown and the copy tendered to defendant. Augustus W. Tilbury said that he had bought some charts from the wholesale importers, McNeil and Coffee. Went to defendant's house with Higgs, who offered the charts to defendant, who refused to receive them, and told plaintiff that he would find him (defendant) a very hard nut to crack. Was an Oddfellow, and joined the order with the view of disposing of these charts. Held printed testimonials similar to those held by Higgs. They were given him by McNeil and Coffee. Defendant stated at the interview that he looked upon the whole sale as a fraud, and found that the profits of the sale would not be devoted to the benefit of Oddfellowship. This was plaintiff's case, and Mr. Nash moved for a nonsuit on three grounds. 1. That the goods tendered were not according to sample. 2. That the agreement did not show any parties to the contract; and 3. That the plaintiff was not the vendor, but only an agent for the real principals. With regard to the first point, his Honor allowed the evidence to be re opened ; and plaintiff was re-called, who stated that be could see no difference between the samples and the copies now produced in court. Mr. Forbes, an engraver, was called as an expert, and stated that the only difference between the copies and sample was that one was a proof, and on India paper, and the other an ordinary engraving. There was a difference in value between them, varyiing according to publishers' prices. His Honor considered that the difference between the sample and copies was so plain that no one could possibly mistake the difference. It was clear to him that there was a material difference between the sample aud the article tendered for acceptance; and upon that point alone he ordered a verdict for the defendant, with witnesses costs. This decision disposed of about thirty cases, brought by the same plaintiff against other members of Oddfellows' lodges, in which the same transactions and points were involved.
TILBURY v. BROOKS — This was a similar action, but by a different agent. The charts were the same, the form of agreement identical in terms. The case concluded this evening. After a long argument, his Honor held that there was no mutuality in the contract, and therefore gave a verdict for defendant. The decision disposes of about twenty-five other cases of the same kind.
1893. PO Directories show the family living at 129 St. John's Rd, Forest Lodge, Sydney until 1896.
1896. The family lived in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish Rebellion. The Ten Years' War in Cuba (1868-1878) served as the forerunner of the 1895 Insurrection and the Spanish American War. The Philippine Revolution began in 1896.

Linden 1 year ago
Hi Susan! Great news - you've made my day! I'd love anything you're happy to share and I'll dig out any records I have that may be of interest to you.
Cheers, Linden
The family moved from Australia to the Phillipines when Annie was 10 Years old and at 18 she married Joynes Walker who was Scottish-American and had gone to the Spanish-American war as a medic as he was in his second year of medical studies.. They had 3 children in the Phillypines: John, Georgina (my mother) in 1909 and a year latter Mary. When my mother was 6 they emigrated to Canada and a year after that to Seattle, Washington. There they had 3 more children: Eduard(Ted) Elizabeth(Bobbie) and Susan! I have pictures of Augustus Annie, Georgina Pither and others! How are you related?
Wonderful to get that history. James Thompson Tilbury (1845-1931) was my great-grandfather. He was the older brother of Augustus William. Their older brother Edward (1842-1915) had descendants who also ended up in the US. There's also an Augustus in that branch but I haven't done a lot of work on Edward's branch at this point.
