Alleged Zodiac Killer Trained 'Posse'

A group of private investigators known as the Case Breakers claim that their suspect in the Zodiac killer case trained a "posse" of about 10 young men to "hike and kill" over several decades in California.
Case Breakers' Thomas J. Colbert claimed in an interview with the New York Post that Gary Francis Poste, an Air Force veteran and former house painter from Groveland, California, who the group alleges was the Zodiac killer, would regularly take a group of about 10 men who were known in the town as the "posse," into the nearby mountains where he taught them to "hike and kill," according to Colbert.
"He taught them how to turn a pipe bomb into a bomb that would blow up houses," Colbert said. "If new cops moved into town, he would have [the posse] throw rocks into their windows to get them to move out. He was involved in loaning guns out to suicidal people in town."
Colbert added that "One time he had a kid climb out on a tree branch and hang caches of raw meat from it. He also nailed salmon hooks below to catch bears trying to get to the meat. One time there were three bears bleeding to death from this tree trying to get the meat and Gary just watched them, laughing at them."
He went on to compare Poste to the character "Fagin" from the novel "Oliver Twist," who led a gang of children. One former member of the posse, who Colbert only identified as "Wil" but whose real name is Chris Avery, said he left Groveland about 10 years ago after he saw sketched drawings of the Zodiac Killer and confronted Poste about it. Avery eventually met a local TV news anchor in Santa Cruz, Dale Julin, who had spent years researching the Zodiac case. Following their meeting, Julin claimed to have found a new hidden message in one of the cryptograms sent by the Zodiac Killer using Poste's name.
The FBI told the Post in a statement that the Zodiac killer investigation "remains open and unsolved," and noted that "Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, and out of respect for the victims and their families, we will not be providing further comment at this time."

U. of Michigan Reaches $490M Sexual-Abuse Settlement

A written statement of the goods and/or services included in an application. Every application must include an identification of goods and/or services. If you fail to list any recognizable goods or services, the USPTO will return the application and refund the fee. When specifying the goods and/or services, applicants should use clear, concise terms, i.e., common commercial names and language that the general public easily understands.
Please note that the terms in the class headings or short titles of the classes in the "International Classification of Classes of Goods and Services" are generally too broad and should not be used alone as an identification. Also, an international class number alone is never an acceptable listing. For a listing of acceptable wording for goods and services.
An application that has been filed without one or more of the elements required to receive a filing date. The USPTO will return informal applications to applicants. Please see the entry for "application" above for a list of the required elements.
Prior to November 16, 1989, trademark applications which were filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had to be based on actual use in commerce. This meant that proof of use had to be submitted when the application was filed. With the passage of the Trademark Act of 1988, filings can now be made by stating an intention to use the mark and filing on the Principal Register. This allows a party to establish a priority date and have the mark examined and published for opposition before providing proof of use.
If actual use of the mark in commerce that the U.S. Congress can regulate (i.e., interstate commerce, territorial commerce, or commerce between the United States and a foreign country) has not yet occurred, but instead there is simply a bona fide (good faith) intention to use the mark in commerce at a later time after filing of an application. The intention to use may be by the applicant, the applicant's related company, or the licensee of the applicant. If filing under this basis, you will be required to submit a demonstration of use (i.e., submission of a form with an additional fee and a specimen (sample) of said use) later in the prosecution process of the application. This was enacted in 1989 in the United States.


Too often considered an exclusively religious option, sexual abstinence has been reclaimed by some feminists and sociologists over the last 20 years as a radical alternative in secular society to the liberal sexual lifestyle. In the context of promiscuity, sexual abuse and confusion, this book heralds a different sexual freedom. Jenny Taylor talks to men and women of all ages to explore the impact of the sexual revolution.

Nice, Budapest, and Port Elizabeth named as potential hosts of the event's next stop on the rotating circuit.
Three remarkable cities, all of which currently host IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 races, have been named as the finalists in the selection process for the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship: Nice (France), Budapest (Hungary) and Port Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela Bay (South Africa). The 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will be a two-day event, like the 2017 edition, with the professional and age-group women racing on one day and the professional and age-group men racing on the other.
"The IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon series has grown exponentially over the past few years, with the World Championship featuring the best athletes from around the world," said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of IRONMAN. "We have been extremely pleased with the global rotation of the event and providing our athletes with an exceptional world-class race in fantastic locations. Nice, Budapest and Port Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela Bay are all extraordinary hosts to current IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 races—providing beautiful and challenging courses and world-class hospitality for our athletes and families. Each city is well suited to host this pinnacle event."
The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship began an annual global rotation in 2014 in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada. The 2015 race was held in Europe for the first time, in Zell am See-Kaprun, SalzburgerLand, Austria. This September, the 2016 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship shifts to the Southern Hemisphere for the first time—in Queensland, Australia's Sunshine Coast with athletes representing over 70 countries and ranging in age from 18 to 75-plus. In 2017, the championship event moves to Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA where it will be a two-day event for the first time.
Beginning in July 2017, athletes from around the world will earn the right to compete in the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship by qualifying at any of the more than 100 IRONMAN 70.3 events globally.
Nice, France – Nice, located in the Côte d'Azur area on the southeast coast of France, is the capital of the stunning French Riviera and is the fifth-largest city in France. Host to IRONMAN France since 2005, Nice incorporates a swim in the pristine waters of the Mediterranean Sea and a run course along Nice's historic Promenade des Anglais waterfront. With one of the largest international airports in France located just minutes away from the city, Nice is easily accessible and welcomes over five million visitors every year. Beyond the beauty of the area, Nice also offers a rich culture built by some of the greatest painters, writers and musicians the world has known. With year-round sunshine, a scenic location, and outstanding cuisine and culture, Nice embodies all the benefits of a historic coastal city.
Budapest, Hungary – Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest is the largest city in Hungary and is also one of the biggest cities in the European Union. This beloved tourist destination hosts IRONMAN 70.3 Budapest, joining the circuit in 2014. The Danube River, which is the longest river in the European Union, runs through the center of the city and along the Buda hills and Palace District. Budapest is well known for its restorative thermal baths, some of which date back to the Middle Ages. With a history that dates back to the 1200's, the city attracts about 4.4 million tourists a year, making it the 25th most popular city in the world. Downtown's nightlife district brings both culinary excellence and the relaxed atmosphere of underground-style lounges.
Port Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa – The beachside community of Port Elizabeth within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality is South Africa's second oldest city and is the coastal and economic hub of the Eastern Cape. Athletes and spectators who travel to Port Elizabeth get the unique opportunity to visit one of the most widely beautiful and historically significant places in the world. Currently hosting the Standard Bank IRONMAN African Championship, the course in Nelson Mandela Bay and the city of Port Elizabeth has athletes utilizing the beautiful surroundings of Hobie, Humewood and Kings Beaches. While fishing, surfing, whale watching, scuba diving, snorkeling and sailing are enjoyed by tourists, Nelson Mandela Bay also prides itself on offering the ability to see lions, rhinos, buffalo, leopards, and elephants in wildlife reserves outside the metropolitan area.
IRONMAN expects approximately 190,000 registered athletes to race at over 100 events in the global IRONMAN 70.3 Series during the 2017 season in locations such as Australia, Brazil, Malaysia and China to qualify for the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. In addition, each age-group winner at the 2017 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship will automatically qualify for the 2018 championship.


After two decades of leading a sheltered existence, India's $76 billion outsourcing industry has stepped out of its comfort zone, with tax benefits under the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) program ending. In last year's budget, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had extended the scheme, under which tech firms can avail themselves of a 100 per cent tax deduction on profits under sections 10A/B of the Income Tax Act by 12 months.
Now it appears he's removed this sop, as the IT industry has gained scale and large firms (which account for 60 per cent of the sector's revenue) no longer require this protective umbrella to sustain growth. Earlier, units set up using these benefits were eligible for a 10-year tax holiday if notified before March 2012 and operational by March 2014.
"Government has not considered the impact of this move on small companies," says Pallav Nadhani, Founder of Info Soft global, a Kolkata-based software product developer. "Our small scale and strict SEZ laws around not moving existing people or machinery, makes life difficult."
Large firms have already moved up to 90 per cent of their operations into special economic zones, as STPI benefits wound down. According to tax experts, outsourcing firms staying outside STPI would now be required to pay an effective tax rate of around 30 per cent (excluding smaller cesses and surcharges) and this could be a heavy blow for small enterprises, which account for 40 per cent of India's outsourcing industry. What's more, the imposition of MAT on SEZ developers and units could hurt firms who are headed there.

PocketGamer.biz's Games of the Year 2017
Comments & Opinions
Playdemic
December 31st, 2017 - 01:00pm
By PocketGamer.biz Staff
We've already had our Indie Mavens and Mobile Mavens pick their games of the year. Now it's time for the PocketGamer.biz team to choose theirs.
With so many games released on mobile each year, it's tough to name a favourite. It's been a year with an abundance of record-breaking and critically acclaimed titles, not least including Arena of Valor (Honor of Kings), Lineage 2 Revolution, Monument Valley 2 and many more.
But it's not always the most famous games that make the biggest impact on us.
Below the PocketGamer.biz team shares their games of the year, along with a few honourable mentions.
Craig Chapple Senior Editor Craig Chapple is Senior Editor of PocketGamer.biz and InfluencerUpdate.biz. He was previously Deputy Editor at Develop and Online Editor at Nintendo of Europe.
Game of the Year: Golf Clash (Playdemic)
There are many great games that you'll enjoy immensely for a short while and remember fondly, but are unlikely to repeatedly go back to.
And then there are games are so enjoyable that they become part of your daily routine.
For me this year, that was Golf Clash, the surprise hit from UK developer Playdemic. The title and studio have also been named as finalists for various categories in the Mobile Games Awards, dontcha know!
Playdemic had previously developed games like Gourmet Ranch and Gang Nations, but at the start of 2017 it pivoted to the sports arena with Golf Clash. And it's paid off big time.
The game is sublime. It deftly hits that sweet spot of easy to play, tough to master. Simply swipe back from the golf ball and then let go to hit it in the direction you want.
You'll take turns with a real opponent to pot the ball in the least amount of shots. And it's this multiplayer component I always find fascinating in games like this - the extra pressure of a stranger judging you as you hopelessly strike the ball into the water or expertly pot the ball from great distance. It's these player-created moments that mean you could play the same courses over and over and it'll never get boring.
Messaging also adds some extra spice to proceedings, allowing you to send (polite) thiny-veiled pre-set insults to your opponent, ridicule yourself, or congratulate them on the perfect shot.
The clever betting system is also a delight. It's not completely original of course, but betting your coins on winning a game in the title's various tours (the more money you bet, the tougher your opponent, but the greater the reward), adds yet more tension to proceedings than just random matchmaking with as little at stake as a ranking position.
It's pretty clever with monetisation too, taking cues from Supercell's Clash Royale's chest system to dole out rewards and upgrades - check out our IAP Inspector's analysis of the game for more on this.
But the monetisation is by no means heavy-handed. Golf Clash is a brilliantly designed game that never feels like it's reaching into your pocket to take your money. It's been made for fun first, and the money has followed because of it.
Honourable mentions: Football Strike, Fire Emblem Heroes, Toon Blast
Ric Cowley Editor Ric is the Editor of PocketGamer.biz, having started out as a Staff Writer on the site back in 2015. He received an honourable mention in both the MCV and Develop 30 Under 30 lists in 2016 and refuses to let anyone forget about it.
Game of the Year: Snoopy Pop (Jam City)
In a year of fantastic releases on mobile, I was somehow more interested in losing myself to Jam City's licensed Panda Pop reskin Snoopy Pop.
I don't particularly care for Peanuts. I've never held much love for Snoopy. My last major experience with bubble shooters was when I was a child and one of the three games I had for the PlayStation was Bust-A-Move 2 (Puzzle Bobble 2, if you prefer).
But Snoopy Pop kept dragging me back in, thanks to a thoroughly enjoyable collection of levels and a weirdly engaging metagame for such a casual title.
Through hours of play, I noticed that the game actually gives you a helping hand when you're struggling by rearranging bubbles in the levels to ensure you have a better chance of finishing. This is basically unheard of in free-to-play.
Each level is essentially a collection of smaller puzzles, with each obstacle having one optimal path that you have to find to even come close to completion. You're awarded three stars every time you finish a level. That helps – they're bloody hard at times.
And the metagame rewards you with Peanuts-themed artwork – a completely pointless reward earned from procedurally-generated objectives that jump from super easy to "hours of grinding" once you complete them.
I churned around level 223, months after the game first launched. But there's still a part of me that remembers the joy of finally clearing a level, getting the three stars and immediately moving on. I haven't felt it with anything else this year.
Honourable mentions: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Monument Valley 2, Toon Blast, Homescapes
Jon Jordan Contributing Editor A Pocket Gamer co-founder, Jon is Contributing Editor at PG.biz which means he acts like a slightly confused uncle who's forgotten where he's left his glasses. As well as letters and cameras, he likes imaginary numbers and legumes.
Game of the Year: Battlejack (Nexon/Grand Cru)
In the endless ebb and flow between the gameplay and metagame of free-to-play mobile games, Battlejack: Blackjack RPG has a strong claim to breaking new ground.
As the name suggests, the core gameplay is based around dealing out a hand of cards that get as close to 21 as possible. Get 21 - a Battlejack - and your heroes perform their strongest attack. Go bust and you get nothing. Worse, the turn counter for their special attacks won't increase.
This risk-reward mechanic is further enhanced by other attributes such as the health of your troops, how far they are into a battle sequence and the rewards you expect to gain with victory.
Combined with the sort of deep metagame we've come to expect from a mobile RPG - hundreds of characters to summon, level-up, evolve, and equip with runes, plus PVP missions and Alliance Raids - and the mix is both exciting and mundane.
Which given you have the option to autoplay most of Battlejack's missions is exactly as it should be.

For the past 24 years, members of India's West Bengal Radio Club (WBRC) have helped to reunite lost or injured individuals, many of them pilgrims attending the Ganga Sagar Mela festival each January. The Ganga Sagar fair and pilgrimage, held on Sagar Island's southern tip in the Ganges Delta on the Bay of Bengal, attracts a huge number of people, and the club typically fields a special event station for the occasion. But each year, a number of visitors simply lose their way. This year, the Chief Medical Officer of Health for the region once again reached out to the club for its help.
WBRC members contact other radio amateurs in the home states of those who have become separated or, in some cases, just become lost, to reconnect them with their families and help them on their way.
Recently, a 25-year-old man — a Tamil speaker not in town for the fair — became hurt and lost and was hospitalized. Biswas, who does not speak Tamil, enlisted the assistance of another club member, T. Gopinath, VU3ZHC, who was able to translate. Armed with some information from the man and a photo, the club members, working for more than a month through ham radio and social media, were able to get in touch with the man's family in the Vellore district.
"When we met him, he could hardly speak. He had head injuries," Biswas said. They were able to determine that the young man, who was headed for Gujarat state for work, had ended up in Kolkata by mistake and had lost all his belongings on a train.
The young man's father and brother came to West Bengal with documents to prove his identity, and the hospital and local authorities reunited him with his family.
Another patient in his early 70s has only been able to provide his name and state but nothing else, and after searching via ham radio, the club has been unable to repatriate him. He remains in the hospital in West Bengal. "We are trying our best," Biswas said. "We found 563 persons this Sagar Mela." He said others also remain in the hospital and in limbo.

Object-Absorbing Participles
Mecislau
Post subject: Object-Absorbing Participles
Do they exist?
Here's what I mean. "Normal" participles, in every language I know of, are subject-absorbing, in that they stand in for a relative clause by replacing the subject and then taking other verbal arguments as normal.
For instance, active participles replace the subject of the relative clause and can take a direct object as an argument. (in the pseudogloss, the brackets represent the dropped/absorbed element in the relative clause)
"The man who sees me"
"The man who [he.NOM] sees me.ACC"
"The seeing me.ACC man"
(with a present active subject-absorbing participle)
Passive participles do the same, except the subject of a passive verb is the logical patient. However, the logical agent may be indicated obliquely, just as in a full relative clause.
"The man who was seen by me"
"The man who [he.NOM] was seen by me.OBL
"The seen by me.OBL man"
(with a past passive subject-absorbing participle)
Now, is it possible to have an active participle that is capable of absorbing its object, while still allowing its subject as an argument? This obviously would only apply to transitive verbs.
"The man whom I see"
"The man who I.NOM see [him.ACC]"
"The I.NOM 'seeing' man"
(with a present active object-absorbing participle)
I can't think of any reason why this couldn't exist, but I've never seen any examples of it*. Do any of you folks know anything?
* With the possible exception of dialectical Ukrainian, which I've read can form a pseudopassive by having the reflexive suffix -ся take the place of the subject rather than the object. This is similar to what I'm looking for, but not the same.

It seems to me like if a language were to do such a thing, it would be more an effect of how they treat the valency of different verb voices and how nouns are marked (eg if they use quirky case) in actives, passives, etc, and less how they treat participles specifically. Particularly since "object-absorbing active participles" are semantically identical to "subject-absorbing passive participles". In fact, "object-absorbing active participles" sound like a trait one would almost expect to find in an über-ergative language.

Well, I believe Japanese doesn't distinguish participles and relative clauses syntactically, so it could be an example of what you're thinking of. There are no relativisers, so it looks more like a participle than a relative clause:
watashi=o mita hito
1SG=ACC see-PST person
watashi=ga mita hito
1SG=NOM see-PST person
(Both of these are technically active; using the passive verb here would be unnatural.)
Some of the Peninsular conlangs have relative verbs which can stand in for various oblique arguments: , , .

Yeah, I realize I didn't quite explain that as well as I could (and frankly I'm still not entirely sure how to best do it). I'm not looking for incorporation, but was using "absorption" (a term I actually have seen elsewhere) to refer to how a participle or another part of speech essentially subsumes within itself one of its core arguments implicitly, not explicitly as is the case with incorporation.
For instance, your standard active participles "absorb" their subject by allowing them to drop out of the relative clause the participle is replacing. The active participle then ends up directly modifying its subject in the main clause. Its object, which is not absorbed, remains in place modifying the participle.
Let's look at an example. Hopefully it'll make more sense this time.
"The man who [he] sees the dog"
Here we have a finite transitive verb in a relative clause with both subject and object. (Yes, in English the verb in the relative clause technically agrees with the relative pronoun, but bear with me)
If we convert that verb to an active participle, its subject "he", or "who" as may be the case in English, is dropped. The participle then attaches itself to the antecedent of that pronoun in the relative clause.
"The man seeing the dog".
This participle retains many of the qualities of the original finite verb, such as the free ability to either mark or not mark its direct object (the man seeing the dog, or the seeing man), although with a change in meaning.
"The man who [he] was seen (by the dog)"
Same deal, with a passive verb. The relative clause can be reworded using a passive participle; the verb's subject drops out and the verb attaches itself to its antecedent in the main clause. And just as the "by the dog" phrase is optional in the relative clause, it remains so when dealing with a passive participle.
"The man seen (by the dog)"
Now, what I'm looking for is a participle that attaches itself to its object. And, since the subject in a Nom/Acc language is mandatory, presumably the subject will be a mandatory argument for the participle as well.
"The man whom the dog saw [him]"
"The the-dog-saw man"
which would be glossed as something like
dog-NOM see-PARTICIPLE.PAST.ACTIVE.OBJECT man-NOM
Notice that the noun the participle is modifying is actually its direct object.
(I would have said "The man the dog saw", except that would be a little confusing, given how English can simply drop the "that" in relative clauses).
THC's examples aren't quite what I'm after. Show me an active participle that can incorporate its agent while modifying its patient, then I'll be impressed
Zompist, your first example does seem to work. You're subordinating "he likes" (an active verb and its agent) to "things" (the verb's patient). The second is more like a typical participial construction, where you're subordinating "love drinking wine" (an active verb and its patient) to "people" (the verb's agent). This certainly does seem to be an example, even though they're not true participles.

Location: Llundain
So basically, what you want is something like a passive participle which doesn't promote its patient to subject and thus still requires a subject written in?

Before Galicia
Nearly three years ago, I posted a bit of speculation whereby our Pikholz families - both the Skalaters and the Rozdolers - came to Galicia in the late 1700s from Visk, in Maramaros County Hungary. This town is now called Vyshkovo and it is in Ukraine, just north of the Romanian border. Khust is 10 miles NNW and Sighet is 23 miles ESE. I don't know much about this mountainous area of Sub-Carpathia, though one of the outposts of our Rozdol family, Skole, is only 68 miles to the north.
The speculation was based on the fact that a Hungarian (non-Jewish) family named Pikolcz lived in the town. They were landowners - some kind of minor nobility - who had fallen on hard times and I wondered if perhaps our family had lived on their lands and when required to take surnames, took Pikholz as their own.
There are no records for Vyshkovo for that period so the whole thing was left in the realm of speculation these past fifteen years.
For the past few months, I have been watching in awe as my friend, colleague and sometimes collaborator Lara Diamond blogs week after week at Lara's Jewnealogy about her families' records. It seems like every month she adds another ancestor. (When is the last time I did that!) Most of the events in her records were after 1895, but some were records that documented births decades previous. I knew that the towns she was looking at are in today's southwest Ukraine, but had once been Hungary and Czechoslovakia.
When I told her my Vyshkovo story, she said that not only are her two primary towns very close to Vyshkovo ("right across the river") but that quite a few of them were for people named Pikkel. Maybe these folks had something to do with me. Maybe if we actually lived in Vyshkovo, we were one family.
Lara had transcribed the records into a spreadsheet. They included 102 Pikkel birth records, twenty-six marriage records and and forty-six death records. Almost all of them were from the towns Vajnag and Talaborfalva, now known as Vonihove and Tereblya. Talaborfalva is nine miles from Vyshkovo and Vajnag is maybe half that. Though it no doubt seemed like longer considering that they had to get down from the mountain.
I entered all of those plus the entries in the JewishGen Hungarian SIG database and at that gave me a total of seventy-four men and sixty-four women with the birth names Pikkel or variant spellings. After sorting out the relationships as best I could, I have eighteen men and twelve women from Lara's lists whose parents are thus far unknown, plus another fourteen from the JewishGen lists. The rest I was able to organize in to families. There is nothing in the way of given names that indicates a connection to our Pikholz families, but there wouldn't be since we would have long gone our separate ways.
I did nothing more than glance at Yad Vashem or American records, or even the post-1895 Vyshkovo records - there is time enough to do that if this pans out. The new Yad Vashem site is not working well, but I looked for people named Pikkel who submitted Pages of Testimony for other people named Pikkel and there are twenty-eight of those. I hoped that would give me some candidates for Y-DNA testing since I have very clear Y results for both our Rozdol and our Skalat branches.. So far I have one candidate in suburban Chicago, whose phone goes to voice message.
I also wrote to about ten Pikkel on Facebook, with one response so far. He is not relevant.
And I succeeded in contacting one person who had submitted a tree on Ancestry. He referred me to a family member in New York State who confirmed that her family is from Vajnag, but so far no Y-DNA candidate.
So this is all very preliminary. But I find it quite exciting. More as it happens.
I'm off to London and Toronto on the first of June. (Looks like I may need a sweater and a raincoat.) The offer to order (signed) books for pick up in those two places expires 30 May. The savings in shipping is significant. Order here.
The summer is falling into place. I'll be speaking in Buffalo Grove Illinois, Baltimore, Fairfax Virginia, Charlotte and Durham North Carolina, Cincinnati and perhaps another venue or two, before heading to Seattle for three presentations at the IAJGS Conference. See details here.
You can order books for Seattle pickup here. I'll have books with me at the other venues.
I shall also be giving an evening presentation during the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) on 20 July.

Let Me Say It Once Again - Siblings!
Less than a year ago, in a tail-end segment in a larger blog, I discussed the importance of siblings' testing.
The case at hand then was our fourth cousins Anna and David, two of the three living great-great-grandchildren of Uncle Selig Pikholz. Or more precisely, the demonstration that they are indeed our fourth cousins.
Anna and David are half-siblings and both have all their Jewish DNA from the father that they share.
Many of us have a tendency to test one person from each family, then move on to known first and second cousins, in order to get a genetic picture of our families. Partly it's a matter of budget. Who has funds available to test everyone. And besides, we tell ourselves, how much different will one sibling be from another. And if I have two, do I really need the third? And the fourth?
Many of us did that back in the pre-genetic days when the biggest thing was interviewing relatives. Who has time to get to everyone? And how different will one older relative be from another. We know they can and will be different, but we rationalize because we really cannot get to everyone.
Many of us did the same with records. When the AGAD records - for east Galicia - became available in the archives in Warsaw, we often saw hundreds of relevant records in the index. Our budgets were limited so we'd order one or two of each family. The parents are the same from one to another, so what's the point of spending money for another six births to the same couple.
The same is true for DNA. As this is important, I am going to quote myself verbatim before adding a new point.
If we look at the chromosomes below, we see that Anna matches everyone in my family except my sister Sarajoy and me. Her brother does not match the two of us nor does he match our second cousins Rhoda and Terry.
On Chromosome 8, both have a nice set of matches with Aunt Betty, Uncle Bob and Herb - who, remember, are their third cousins once removed.
Both have very large matches with Marty on Chromosome 15 - Anna's is 50 cM!
But Chromosome 3 is remarkable. Anna's brother has a nice set of matches with five of us, two of which are a bit more than 20 cM. But Anna has seven matches, all over 30 cM and four of them are 57-69 cM! This is huge for four fourth cousins and three third cousins once removed. And keep in mind that Sarajoy and I are not there at all.
If Anna were not known to be a cousin, these numbers would jump off the page - but only by looking at the largest segments or the individual chromosomes.
In fact, if we only looked at the Family Finder match list (on the right), we would see nothing remarkable at all. We would not even see that Anna's matches with us are significantly different from her brother's.
There are lessons here galore. Lessons about looking specifically at the large matches. Lessons about looking at the chromosomes, not just at the total cMs and the overall suggested relationships.
And perhaps most important is the lesson about testing cousins and siblings. Before Anna tested, her brother's results were anything but inspiring. If someone had said "Why do we need her? We have her brother!" look what we would have lost out on.
And even with Anna, if all we had from our side had been Uncle Bob, Terry, Rhoda, Lee, Judith, Sarajoy and me, it would have been a fine test collection of seven people but we would have missed the best results.
In the meantime, we have one new test, Lee's brother Marshal. Does he matter? Could he possibly make the case stronger than it already is? Let's have a look.
Lee's matches with David and Anna on FTDNA
Marshal matches only David - and FTDNA considers it much weaker than Lee's.
Marshal's match - such as it is - adds nothing.
Let's look at GEDmatch, where Lee has that 31.3 cM segment with Anna and 9.8 cM with David on chromosome 3 and another 9.2 cM with Anna on chromosome 21.
What does Marshal have?
Marshal matches David, but not on the chromosomes where Lee has his significant matches. And Marshal doesn't match Anna at all.
So indeed, why do we need Marshal in this analysis? (In fact, no one pushed him to take the test after lee had done so. Marshal decided that on his own.)
But this is the wrong question. This test was ordered for Cousin Margie, their mother. She was not able to do it and after she died, Lee took her test. I assume that was a random decision - Marshal could have taken it then. If he had, Lee could have said (we all could have said) "Marshal has tested, why do we need another one?" From where we are now, we know the answer to that. Lee had this wonderful match with Anna that Marshal didn't. Like three of my sisters who match Anna, while Sarajoy and I do not. And David's unremarkable matches do not compare to Anna's.
So let me say it again. Test siblings. As many as you can. As many as will cooperate. As many as your budget will allow. And even moreso, test a variety and a multitude of first cousins. Test every second cousin. as many as you can. Don't say "Josh already tested."
This is probably not the last time you will hear me on this particular soapbox.
The deadline for ordering "ENDOGÀMY: One Family, One People" for pick-up in London on 1 June or in Toronto at the Ontario Genealogical Society Conference is 30 May.
I shall be speaking in Buffalo Grove Illinois on Thursday 14 July. Time and address to be announc3d.
Cousin Debbie
In the course of putting together my summer travel schedule, I did some emailing with Deborah Long, the founder of the Triangle Jewish Genealogical Society in North Carolina. I shall be speaking for them on Sunday 31 July in Durham. (Program directors please note: The Thursday before and the Monday after are still available.)
Debbie did a MtDNA test more than six years ago, but only recently did the autosomal (Family Finder) and her match list came in at the end of April. She sent me a note with all the enthusiasm of the new DNA researcher (including the required exclamation points) showing me that we are second-fourth cousins. She gave me access to her data at FTDNA and I saw that in addition to me, Debbie is a suggested second-fourth cousin to three of my four sisters, my father's sister (Aunt Betty) and my double second cousin Lee. But her best match with my family - and her third best match overall - is Lee's brother Marshal, who is a suggested second-third cousin.
I fiddled a bit within the limited reach of the FTDNA chromosome browser, then helped her upload to GEDmatch where I could do this properly. The matches on GEDmatch are different. Two of her three best matches with my family are Pinchas and Bruce, descendants of the brothers of my great-grandmother Jutte Leah Kwoczka. They are 3.6-3.7 generations away on GEDmatch but only suggested third-fifth cousins on FTDNA. Other matches of under four generations on GEDmatch are Marshal and Lee, Aunt Betty, two of my sisters and my second cousin Susan on my grandMOTHER's side. (Susan is also a second cousin to Marshal and Lee.) FTDNA has Debbie and Susan as suggested fifth-remote cousins.
Debbie and the Kwoczkas
I decided to do several chromosome browsers on GEDmatch, with different combinations of my family and Debbie. First I did the Kwoczkas. I used Pinchas, Bruce and Pinchas' nephew Ben, plus the thirteen (of fourteen) descendants of Jutte Leah that Debbie matches. The results were weak, but there are two of some note. On all the following charts, note that the start and end points are often identical from match to match.
Chromosome 4 has a nice grouping of Pinchas, Ben and Bruce, but without any of Jutte Leah's descendants. The segment is small - not quite 6 cM. Nothing to get excited about, but worth noting, perhaps for future reference. Perhaps, for instance with better results for one of Debbie's relatives.
Chromosome 9 has a match of just over 10 cM with Bruce and matches just under 10 cM with (Aunt Betty's son) Ed, my father's brother Uncle Bob, followed by Aunt Betty, my second cousins Rhoda, Marshal and Lee. Nothing remarkable here, but it does appear that Debbie and the Kwoczkas have a common ancestor.
Debbie's ancestrral surnames and geography:
Auerbach [Poland],
Chonig [Poland],
Dobrzynski [Poland],
Galas [Poland],
Kozlowski [Poland],
Landau [Poland],
Munk [Hungary Slovakia],
Praskier [Poland],
Weisz [Hungary Slovakia]
do not point to anything meaningful vis-a vis the Kwoczkas.
Debbie and Nana
Since there was nothing obvious between Debbie and my Pikholz side, I had a look at my grandmother's side, which also includes Marshal and Lee whose mother is a double first cousin of my father. Nana is Bauer and Stern on her mother's side and Rosenzweig and Zelinka on her father's side.
Outside Marshal, Lee and the descendants of my grandmother, there are only a few others who have tested. Susan, our second cousin, Shabtai - a second cousin of my father on my gm's mother's side, and Fred - a half-second cousin of ours on my gm's father's side. (Fred's grandmother is his only source of Jewish DNA.)
I do not see my 5C1R on the Rosenzweig side among Debbie's matches and although my fifth cousin Cyndi on the Zelinka side is a fifth-remote with Debbie on FTDNA, I do not see a match between them on GEDmatch.
This time the chromosome browser was much more helpful.
Chromosome 2 has a segment with significant matches between Debbie and everyone in the group except Susan, Shabtai and my sister Amy. (Well, Ed's isn't exactly significant, but it's there.) Most are in the 19.5-20.5 cM range and aside from Ed, they all have the same starting point. The significant match is Fred. His match tells us that this segment comes from Nana's father, either the Rosenzweigs or the Zelinkas. Both those families are from Trencin County Slovakia, back into the 1700s.
But we can get more specific, using the matches on the X chromosome.
Here we see Aunt Betty, Uncle Bob and all four of my sisters, with some of those segments identical. This cannot come from my father's father because the X cannot go from father to son. It could come from Nana's mother's side, but nothing hints at that as a source. That leaves Nana's father's side, as on chromosome 2 above, and it cannot be from his Rosenzweig father. It must be, therefore, from my great-great-grandmother, who is a Zelinka. And the line from her to the common ancestor with Debbie cannot have a father-son on either Debbie's side or ours. Since both our side and Debbie's almost certainly have another woman or two on the way to the common ancestor, I do not expect that person to be either a Zelinka or one of Debbie's Munks.
In citing her ancestral surnames, Debbie mentions Munk from Slovakia. She specifically mentioned the town of Baán in Trencin County..According to the JewishGen Communities database, Baán is the Hungarian name for what is now known as Bánovce nad Bebravou, located at 48°43' N 18°16' . This is Zelinka-Rosenzweig territory, though we do not have anyone in that particular town, so far as we know. But now with Debbie, it seems we do.
Descendants of Rivka Feige Pikholz
I ran a chromosome browser on GEDmatch which includes the descendants of my great-grandfather Hersch Pikholz, one descendant of each of his two full sisters and four descendants of one of his two half-sisters. (The other has no matches with Debbie.) The common ancestor here is my great-great-grandmother Rivka Feige Pikholz.
Debbie has no matches to speak of involving Hersch's two full sisters. There are, however, matches involving Lillian and Erika - a granddaughter and a great-granddaughter of Hersch's half sister Breine Riss.
First of all, Debbie has three segments of 5-6 cM - on chromosomes 1, 3 and 16 - where she matches both Lillian and Erika. So we see a common ancestor between Debbie and Rivka Feige (or perhaps her first husband).
Second, Debbie has matching segments with Lillian and my second cousin Rhoda on chromosome 7. These segments of are also in the 5.5-6 cM range. If these are legitimate segments, they too point to Rivka Feige.
On chromosome 11 (above), Debbie has matching segments of about 7.3 cM with Erika, Uncle Bob, one of my sisters and me. This too, points to a common ancestor for Debbie and Rivka Feige, though once again, the segments are small.
Finally, as an afterthought, I did the same chromosome browser again, adding three kits of descendants of Rivka Feige's two brothers who are not known to have additional Pikholz ancestry. That showed Debbie with one more matching segment in the 8.7-10.3 cM range. This is a segment on chromosome 19 and it includes Jane, three of my sisters and me.
Let us keep in mind that with all the matches of this sort, we cannot see how exactly they match Debbie without getting tests from some of her first and second cousins.
I ran a chromosome browser on my mother's side - two first cousins and two second cousins on each side. There was nothing significant there with us, but Debbie has two small matches with my two second cousins (first cousins to each other) on my grandfather's side. On chromosome 15, the two matches are nearly 10 cM and have the same starting point. On chromosome 16, the two matches are identical - 5.62 cM. If these are real segments, they are probably on the Jaffe side of those cousins' grandfather. But likely a very long time ago.
Debbie matches thirteen of the fourteen Rozdol Pikholz descendants according to GEDmatch, with three at 4.0 generations or closer. (FTDNA shows only seven matches, with one as close as suggested third-fifth cousin.) Nothing particularly significant there, though there is a <10 cM match with two second cousins on chromosome 9 and another with two 1C1R of chromosome 16. The relevant surnames here aside from perhaps Pikholz, are Blum and Mensch.
Finally, I checked Debbie's matches with the rest of the Pikholz families, descendants of Nachman (b.1795), Peretz (b.1820), Mordecai (b.1805) and a few others whose lineage is unknown. Chromosome 1 has a match of about 8 cM with Irene and Gili, great-granddaughters of Peretz. Chromosome 13 has small overlapping matches with Jacob, Maciej and Maxine, descendants of Nachman.
Debbie also has two sets of matches on the X chromosome - one with Thelma and Daphne who are not know to be related, the other with Ron and Charlie, also not known to be related. These - and the Nachman/Peretz matches - are no doubt indicative of common ancestry, but probably no more than vestigal, from quite long ago.
My London program with Debbie Kennett is barely three weeks away. It is under the joint sponsorship of the Guild of One-Name Studies and the JGS of Great Britain. Order tickets at http://tinyURL.com/GuildDNA.
London will be followed immediate by the Ontario Genealogical Society Conference in Toronto, where I will be giving several presentations.
Those who want to order "ENDOGAMY: One Family, One People" for pick-up in London or Toronto, signed and with no shipping charge, may do so here until 30 May.
You can also order for pick-up at the IAJGS Conference in Seattle, where I'll be giving three presentations. Deadline for Seattle order is 10 July.

Olga's Testimony
It was a few days before Hanukkah twelve and a half years ago and I was in the library at Yad Vashem when I first laid eyes on the testimony of Olga M. Pickholz-Barnitsch. I had first seen her name four years earlier in the bibliography of an article in the Journal of Historical Review, citing two articles she had written in the Yad Vashem bulletin. I did not know who she was or what became of her; I assumed that she was born Olga Pickholz and Barnitsch was her married name. I certainly did not know that she had submitted a testimony of her own that covered more than thirty pages of typewritten Polish.
The cover of Olga's personal testimony 12 March 1959
Dr. Olga Barnitsch of Ramat Hasharon Israel, born 27 June 1914 in Lwow, gave testimony which mentioned, in addition to her own family, the following surnames:
Tennenbaum, Zellermayer, Liebling, Kurzrok, Markel, Oberlander, Friedman, Igel, Lippmann, Migden, Schwefelgeist, Switajlo, Monis, Mehrer, Parnas, Landesberg, Rotfeld, Hoch, Bader, Linsker-Hafter, Buber, Hausmann, Tauber, Axer, Teichholz, Hescheles, Aleksandrowicz, Koch, Weigl, Rentschner, Schranz, Maleszewska and others.
The opening passage identifies her father as Maurycy Pickholz, the son of Jozef of Grzymalow. and Zisli (Gruber). From the opening line we learn that Michalina Pickholz took the name Olga Barniczowa during the war and her husband was Leon Auerbach of Stanislawow.
Later on page four, she names her Migden, Lippmann and Schwefelgeist cousins.
It was many years later, after our DNA project bore fruit, that I was able to identify Michalina/Olga as my father's third cousin, a great-granddaughter of Uncle Selig.
This is the family as we came to know it, down to Olga's generation.
But I am not here on this Holocaust Memorial Day - Yom Hashoah - to tell the story of the family structure. I am here to tell you that this week, Anna Mecik, the daughter of Olga's cousin David, has completed a translation into English of Olga's personal testimony. A copy has been submitted to Yad Vashem.
You can find Olga's testimony linked from this page, as a Word file. If I may say so, this is a good day to read it.
The population registry knew that Olga had died in 1964 at age fifty, however had no idea where she was buried. But the sole remaining Migden cousin knew and a few years ago I visited her grave at the very back corner of the Old Ramat Hasharon Cemetery.
The inscription reads:
Here lies buried
BARNITSCH
bat Moshe
PICKHOLZ z"l
Died 18 Kislev 5725
TNZB"H (May her soul be bound in life)
MOSHE ben YOSEF PICKHOLZ
FRIEDA Mehrer PICKHOLZ
ZVI ben MOSHE PICKHOLZ
Who were killed in the Shoah 5700-5705
May G-d avenge their blood
Anna Mecik, my fourth cousin, has begun working on a translation of Olga's report on the crimes against the Jews at the camp at Stutthof.

Gene therapy programme
Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and the Institute of Child Health (ICH) are world leaders in the development of a life-saving technique called gene therapy.
Thanks to dramatic advances in our understanding of human genetics, we can now pinpoint many of the faulty genes that are responsible for particular childhood diseases. This has opened up the potential for a lifesaving technique called 'gene therapy' – the precise insertion of a working gene into a patient's DNA to replace or correct a faulty, disease-causing gene.
By resolving the root cause of genetic diseases, gene therapy offers the prospect of effective and lasting treatment for children with conditions that were previously difficult or even impossible to manage.
GOSH, together with the ICH, has been responsible for more innovative gene therapy trials than any other centre worldwide. This is thanks to our unique patient population and the partnership with the academic environment of the ICH. Seven of these trials have focused on primary immunodeficiencies. They have treated 45 patients, the majority successfully with minimal adverse side effects.
Under the leadership of world-leading scientists Professors Adrian Thrasher and Bobby Gaspar, the gene therapy team have made extraordinary progress, particularly in pioneering new treatments for children born with weak or completely absent immune systems.
Despite their early success, the team know that more needs to be done. Over the next five to 10 years, Professors Thrasher and Gaspar aim to refine and develop their gene therapy techniques so that they can be used to help children with a wider range of life-threatening and life-limiting genetic diseases. These include some metabolic disorders and certain blood diseases.
We aim to invest further in this already world-class research team whose work could pave the way for a new era of treatments for children and young people around the world.
We've made considerable progress in this field over the past decade. Gene therapy has been refined, trialled in patients and we've learnt a huge amount. Studies we have designed here are now open in Los Angeles, Boston, Paris and other international centres.
With support, I believe that a decade further on, gene therapy will be able to improve the life and health of many children with life-threatening diseases, where other treatment methods are either ineffective or non-existent.
It's a very exciting time to be working in this field.
Professor Adrian Thrasher, Professor of Paediatric Immunology and Honorary Consultant Immunologist
The future for us is to build this and to make it bigger and better.
We want to be able to deliver gene therapy for a whole wide range of conditions, not just the ones we started off with, of course we want to build on that as well but we want to treat far more diseases.
We want to treat larger numbers of patients and not just patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital. We want to take this and make it a medicine that can be used in patients worldwide.
Professor Bobby Gaspar, Professor of Paediatrics and Immunology and Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Immunology
Remi and Wojciech's story
Twins Remi and Wojciech developed chronic eczema when they were only a few months old and were always getting chest infections and colds. They were referred to GOSH, where they were formally diagnosed with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is a rare genetic disease and a potentially life-threatening condition. It causes many types of white blood cells, which are part of the immune system, to be abnormal or non-functional. This leads to an increased risk of several immune and inflammatory disorders, as well as autoimmune disorders, which occur when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the body's own tissues and organs.
The only current cure is a full bone marrow transplant, which is a complex procedure carrying significant risks of serious complications. However, it was decided that this was the only option for both boys.
Wojciech went first. He was in isolation for nearly three months. After two months at home he had to come back to hospital for a further two months due to complications. Remi's transplant followed his brother's. He was also in isolation for three months but his transplant went well and there were no major complications.
Gene therapy research into Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome currently being undertaken by our team brings hope of a future cure for this severe condition without the risks of bone marrow transplant.

Eddy County Clerk watches election process evolve
From registrations to voting machines, the present Eddy County Clerk said the election process continues to evolve.
Eddy County Clerk watches election process evolve From registrations to voting machines, the present Eddy County Clerk said the election process continues to evolve.

Michael Smith, Carlsbad Current-Argus Published 10:23 a.m. MT Nov. 5, 2019
During a three-decade career with the Eddy County Clerk's Office, Robin Van Natta has worked dozens of elections.
Van Natta said election procedures were done locally when she first began working in the Eddy County Clerk's Office in 1987.

A former employee of the Clerk's office created a system that Van Natta called a "Cadillac."
"Juanita Dickerson went to Information Technology, if you could explain anything to her (technically) she could do it. We had a system that was custom made for us. You pushed a button, things happened," she said.
Years later, Van Natta said County Clerk's across New Mexico went to a voting system mandated by the State.

"And reinvented the wheel all over again. Then we went to another system and started all over again, and we're in the process of building a new one right now," she said.
She said computers simplified the election process.
"Before you would have to get a map and say we have 10 different (voting) districts and you get an address and put every single one of them (on the map)," Van Natta said.
Van Natta recalled the days when voters stepped up to a large machine and closed a curtain.

"Those things were monsters," she said. "I had one election with them and they were huge and they were heavy and they were old and the backs of them were like speedometers and they rolled like those counters."
Van Natta said paper ballots replaced machines.
"At one point I remember when we first went to paper ballot, we had a physical ballot for every combination in the county and we had primary, Democrat and Republican and we had tons of them," she said.
"We had to keep secure and now you come in and give them your name and it prints it out on a computer ballot on demand, that's fabulous."
More: Eddy County early voting ends on Saturday, election on Nov. 5
Van Natta approves of a change instituted years ago which allows residents to vote anywhere in Eddy County.
Prior to that, an Arteisa resident working in Carlsbad had to vote in Artesia.
"It's opened it wide up, it's computers," she said. "Voting has become so convenient. We vote 28 days before (Election Day) and you can vote the Saturday before an election and we can expand our hours and we open up another polling place," Van Natta said.
Recently elections were consolidated across New Mexico under the 2018 Local Election Act.
Under House Bill 98, county and city elections may be held on the same day and any special elections not on that day were required to be via mail-in ballots only.

In Eddy County, residents voted on Tuesday for Hope City Council, Artesia, Loving and Carlsbad school boards, Carlsbad Soil and Water Conservation District Board, Artesia Special Hospital District Board of Directors, Central Valley Soil and Water Conservation District and Cottonwood-Walnut Creek Watershed District supervisors.
"For this one we've had candidates for Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Watersheds, we've never had those on the ballot before. They did their own elections and that's different," Van Natta said.
More: Here's who is running for office in Carlsbad and Eddy County elections
The only contested race in Eddy County was in District 3 for the Artesia School Board as former member Carolyn Shearman faced incumbent Cherie Widmayer.
Carlsbad residents were asked to approve an $80 million general obligation (GO) bond for the Carlsbad Municipal Schools.
Van Natta and her staff used their knowledge from past elections prepare for Tuesday.
"It's the same as any major election, you have to go through the same process as you would for a primary or general election," she said.
The Current-Argus will begin posting unofficial results once polls close at 7 p.m. Visit currentargus.com to see those results.

Dear Mr. Vitasovic,
Together with many conscientious Croatian citizens we gladly received your decision, and would herewith like to thank you in the name of Animals Friends and all those who want Croatia to remain a "dolphin-friendly country."
We thank you for making the decision not to build a dolphinarium in Vodnjan, whereby you showed that local authorities must and can care for nature and animal protection with its decisions.
This decision is especially important in regard of the anticipated complete legal ban of captivating dolphins in Croatia, which will hopefully be passed this very year - the year that the United Nations have proclaimed the Year of the Dolphin.
We firmly believe that we all want a Croatia that will soon proudly be able to call itself a dolphin-friendly country due to its free and protected dolphins in the Adriatic, as well as its prohibition of captivating dolphins, soon to be passed by the Nature Protection Directorate at the Ministry of Culture in accordance with the existing legislature.
We will forward your statement to our foreign partners along with the decision of the Ministry of Culture on considering the legal prohibition of captivating dolphins, in order that the standpoint of the Croatian authorities and Croatian citizens regarding the protection of sea mammals should be manifested as unambiguously as possible.
Animal Friends will continue to act with complete transparency in the future. Therefore, we are grateful to the mass media that have covered and will continue to cover the events related to this campaign, informing the Croatian and world public on this important issue.

My problem is that i miss so called "eyebrows" on my car, ive looked many forums and googeled like crazy and no solution.
Is it a hardware problem or is it a fuse if , or previous owner has disabled them? ive tested with voltmeter no power comes on in the cables. I would like to know if someone has had the problem and knows whats up, maybe fuse or what if yes, where is it located?
Hi, the previous owner may disabled them, you can enable the by usig ncs expert and an k-dcan cable, or if you have them i can remote coding for you.

'Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness': Release Date, Cast, and EVERYTHING You Need to Know
in Marvel
Posted on June 25, 2021 February 16, 2022 by Caitlin Tasker
Credit: Marvel Studios
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is one of the most highly anticipated films of the MCU Phase 4. The events of Loki and WandaVision and even rumors surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home all seem to be indicated that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is headed to the Multiverse.
And, it's all leading to the Doctor Strange (2016) sequel. And there is so much to catch up on before the next Marvel movie hits theaters on May 6, 2022.
Related: Did Marvel Just Confirm They Will Kill Doctor Strange This Year?
What is the plot of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
Many Marvel fans have been asking themselves what awaits Steven Strange in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? Benedict Cumberbatch's Sorcerer Supreme has only appeared in three Marvel Cinematic Universe films so far. And, two of those were Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). He spent most of Endgame snapped into dust by Thanos (Josh Brolin).
Besides Doctor Strange's debut film and the Disney+ original series WandaVision, Marvel Studios has not shown us much of what magic looks like in the MCU so many may not know what to expect in the film. And it's vital to catch up before the end of Phase 4 since Multiverse of Madness is going to launch Marvel into its next grand saga.

While the plot of Doctor Strange 2 has been kept secret by Marvel boss Kevin Feige, one synopsis did leak online and described the film as:
After the events of 'Avengers: Endgame', Dr. Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend turned enemy seeks to destroy every sorcerer on Earth, messing with Strange's plan and also causing him to unleash an unspeakable evil.
Related: Marvel May Recast Black Panther In 'Doctor Strange 2'
Who is the villain in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
It is likely that Doctor Strange 2 will have multiple villains. That "old friend turned enemy" is a character most should remember from the first Doctor Strange movie – Baron Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). In the post-credit scene from Doctor Strange, Baron Mordo vowed to rid the world of sorcerers. He was angered after learning that the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) was corrupted by Dormammu.
But, there is definitely more to the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness plot than Mordo's quest to destroy every sorcerer. The Sorcerer Supreme's story is picking up where Loki and WandaVision left off as time branches off into alternate timelines creating the Marvel multiverse.
The trailer revealed Marvel fans can expect cameos from Marvel Studio's first animated series What If…? including the evil Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange Supreme, and Zombie Doctor Strange. Rumors also suggest Captain Carter could show up and the Marvel movie was delayed to include more cameos.

Rumors about the unspeakable evil set to appear have named many options. One leading assumption focuses on Nightmare – a Marvel comics villain with the ability to enter the minds of people who are dreaming and rules over the Dream Dimension.
Another name that has been tossed around is the long-rumored, but never appearing, Mephisto. Mephisto is Marvel Comics equivalent of Satan and after he failed to show in WandaVision, fans have been joking that he could show up at any point even in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Just another way that superheroes and society interact through memes.
It could even be some of the stranger demons in the Marvel Universe like Shuma Gorath or Chthon who have deep connections to Wanda and her role as a Nexus being. Shuma Gorath was seen in the trailer but thanks to some copyright issues and toy leaks, we know he will be going by Gargantos.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Cast
So, who is returning in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? Naturally, Benedict Cumberbatch will reprise his role as Doctor Stephen Strange in Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). Some casting announcements were delayed after the loss of the original director Scott Derrickson.
The cast list also includes original Doctor Strange (2016) actors, Rachel McAdams as his love interest Doctor Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo. Other notable confirmed cast members include Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and a new character to the MCU, America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez).
Rumors about who might cameo in the film go as far as to include X-Men (2000) actor Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine. Sir Patrick Stewart was revealed as the leader of the mutants Charles Xavier/Professor X.
Related: Feige Teases Secret 'Young Avengers' Project
More characters are rumored like Wanda's twin sons Billy / Wiccan (Julian Hilliard) and Tommy / Speed (Baylen Bielitz). Billy and Tommy are both Young Avengers like America Chaves and Julian Hilliard may have been spotted on the set of the new film shortly after the WandaVision finale premiered on Disney+.
There have also been rumors that Tom Hiddleston's Loki might show up after unraveling the Sacred Timeline in his own Disney+ original series. Or maybe the Kid Loki variant of the trickster, another Young Avenger, could head to the big screen to cause some mischief.
Another casting call also hinted that Jericho Drumm/Brother Voodoo – who becomes Sorcerer Supreme after Stephen Strange — may also appear in the upcoming film. He could serve as a powerful ally for Doctor Strange whether he is going up against Mordo, Scarlet Witch, or some other demon.
Related: Marvel's WORST Artist Confirms 'Doctor Strange 2' Leak "Is Happening"
How Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness fits into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
One big question that the leaked synopsis raises is how Doctor Strange can study the Time Stone after it was destroyed in Avengers: Endgame (2019) by Thanos (Josh Brolin). The Infinity Stone was retrieved by Bruce Banner/the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) during the Time Heist, but Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) returned it back to its rightful time.
Doctor Strange 2 takes place after all these events. But a character as arrogant as the Sorcerer Supreme may not have been willing to let one of his most powerful weapons go. Perhaps, he starts the Marvel movie trying to find a way to recover it. Or maybe steal one of the paperweights from the Time Variance Authority (TVA)?

Doctor Strange will also appear in the third Tom Holland Spider-Man film Spider-Man: No Way Home (December 21, 2021). No Way Home is poised to be the MCU's version of the Spider-Verse with multiple versions of Peter Parker showing up. This includes the versions played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
Some speculation has Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness reaching the level of an Avengers-style cross-over. When dealing with the Marvel multiverse anything is possible.
Related: Kevin Feige Just Introduced a Brand New Marvel Cinematic Universe
What comic is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness based on?
Every Marvel movie pulls inspiration from Marvel Comics. The Marvel Cinematic Universe puts a unique spin on the classic stories and never adapts a comic book exactly as it was presented. Just look how different Captain America: Civil War (2016) is from the Marvel Comic Civil War.
Doctor Strange 2 will pull from many Doctor Strange comic books. There is not one story where the Sorcerer Supreme tackles the Marvel Multiverse head-on and since the villain is still unconfirmed it is hard to know the exact plot of the movie.

Doctor Strange Epic Collection: A Separate Reality could provide some clues. It is a series of stories centering around the demon Shuma Gorath. The Lovecraft-inspired monster has already been rumored to take on Marvel's most powerful magic-user. Written from 1968-1974 with creators including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Stan Lee, and Barry Windsor-Smith, A Separate Reality takes Doctor Strange and Baron Mordo on an other-dimensional adventure.
As Wanda ended WandaVision studying the Darkhold, the powerful Spellbook is certain to pop up again in Doctor Strange 2. One of the most important stories that involve Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and the Darkhold is 1971's Avengers/Doctor Strange: Rise Of The Darkhold. This is a collected edition that jumps from series to series to follow the Darkhold through Marvel comics history.
Related: Wanda's New Spell Book Sets Up 'Doctor Strange' Villain
Since Doctor Strange 2 will introduce America Chavez it is also pulling some inspiration from her first appearance in Vengeance (2011) by Joe Casey, Young Avengers (2013) by Kieron Gillen, and her first solo series America (2017) by Gabby Rivera.
Other comics that would be good to read include the Last Days of Magic (2017) by Chris Bachalo. This story finds all the Masters of Mystic Arts in the Marvel universe losing their magic after the Empirikul are released onto Earth. They are an army of robotic monsters from another dimension that worships Shuma Gorath.
The Empirikul are led by the Imperator/Bill the Die the Science Murder Guy. Perhaps Baron Mordo will try to trick Strange into releasing them to further his goal of erasing magic in the MCU.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness release info
There have been a few bumps in the production of Doctor Strange 2. In January 2020, the original director Scott Derrickson left the production over creative differences. Spider-Man director Sam Raimi eventually took over the project.
However, in early June, Doctor Strange screenwriter and Loki head writer Michael Waldron revealed that it had to start from scratch when he came onto the project in April 2020. Filming started in November 2020 in London but was stopped in January due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic pushed many movie release dates including Black Widow, a Marvel movie that was finished for over a year while fans waited for it to be safe to return to theaters. Even just recently the release date was pushed back again to May 6, 2022.

Production on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness resumed by March 2021 and concluded in mid-April in Somerset. Currently, the film is in post-production, and it is not clear when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will end production.
The Doctor Strange sequel is currently slated for release in the United States on May 6, 2022. It was originally scheduled for March 25 but recently Marvel and Disney pushed back much of their 2023 slate. It is not clear at this time if it will be released only in theaters or if it will also stream on Disney+ with Premier Access like many of the films released during the pandemic like Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) and Black Widow (2021).
The release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is still ways off so stayed tuned here for more news.
