These Terms and Conditions may change at any time, and Students/Guardians will be notified upon any change to these Terms and Conditions within 3 business days of any change.
The Student (and/or Guardian) indemnifies Miss Rosie Creative in respect of any loss, damage or costs suffered or caused by reason of the Student's (and/or the Guardian's) failure to comply with any of these terms and conditions or any other matter whatsoever not caused directly by Miss Rosie Creative or the conduct of Miss Rosie Creative, including physical or medical issues not notified to Miss Rosie Creative immediately upon their detection. The Student (and/or Guardian) indemnifies Miss Rosie Creative against any decision made to release a student from Miss Rosie Creative Services, without the need to provide reason for the release of the student.
Lessons are "In Home" Lessons and are held at the Student's home or allocated space.
The first lesson at Miss Rosie Creative is an assessment lesson and is free of charge. The online student enrolment form must be completed sufficiently and received by Miss Rosie Creative prior to confirmation and attendance of any Trial Lesson. If the student opts to not enrol with Miss Rosie Creative, the online student enrolment form will be disregarded.
Lessons are private, and no external parties are to be present during these lessons. Exceptions to this include junior students who are uncomfortable without their parent guardian / special needs / during the early period (1-3 lessons) whilst a parent is getting to know me as a coach (building trust). Otherwise I request that lessons be limited to students only.
Lessons are booked online via my website. You select your dates and times, and these can vary depending what is available on the calendar. However, once booked and paid, that lesson spot is yours.
Payment method is Direct credit transfer immediately after booking your lessons. Transfer details are supplied in the booking system, and are also supplied below. You may wish to add these details into your banking system for streamlined future bank transfers. An invoice will be sent to you as well for your booking.
Please note if booked lessons are not paid for within 24 hours of booking point, the lessons will automatically cancel.
Recording sessions, workshops and live performance opportunities are an optional activity for students at Miss Rosie Creative, and will incur additional charges to the Student (and/or Guardian).
Things happen, so if you need to reschedule your lessons, please let me know and I will do my best to accomodate. There is a 24 hour cancellation policy on booked lessons. You may reschedule, out of that time, but within that period, a cancellation becomes a forfeit and no refund will be provided. If you reschedule a lesson, the rescheduled lesson time is to be booked within the same week that the lesson was originally booked, or that lesson becomes a forfeit.
Please bring a water bottle to your lesson, a notepad and pen and printed lyrics of any song/s you are working on. It is up to you as the student to select songs you would like to learn / work on during lessons, and to organise your printed lyrics for your lessons. I work with students in partnership, and there is positive benefit in taking responsibility for lesson preparation. Naturally, junior students coordinate preparation with their parents / guardians.
Lessons are held in your own home or allocated space, with available power and seating.
Wifi connection is a requirement for lessons, with the student to supply the wifi password ready for sessions. If Wifi is unavailable in your home or allocated lessons space, please advise Miss Rosie Creative, so alternative arrangements can be made.
In the event of a teacher absence/illness, lessons will be rescheduled between Miss Rosie Creative and the Student (and/or Guardian), at a suitable rescheduled lesson time.
I will make every endeavour to support students at external events, singing competitions and performances etc., however this attendance is not guaranteed and at times will attract an additional fee for my attendance, if specifically requested by the Student (and/or Guardian).


My nephew has developed a "mallet finger". Can you tell me what can be done for him? Have you any details of the cause and can it be stopped from re-occurring, as this is the third time it has happened.
Mallet finger is commonly referred to as baseball finger in the USA. That term probably explains the condition more graphically because you can visualise a player trying to catch the baseball and stubbing the tip of his finger in the process. The stubbed finger is forcibly flexed towards the palm of the hand and ruptures the tendon that is attached to the tip of the finger. The damaged tendon runs along the back of the finger therefore the injured person is unable to extend the tip of their finger and that portion of the finger assumes a permanently flexed position. It can be a very painful injury. Treatment consists of splinting the finger in order to keep it in an extended position thereby allowing the injured tendon to heal. Splinting needs to be maintained for several weeks. Sometimes the injury may cause the tendon to pull away a small splinter of bone from the fingertip which is the reason why it is normal practice to X ray the injured finger. In that scenario surgery is usually necessary to correct the deformity and re-attach the splinter of bone. It is not clear from your question if your nephew has been treated by splinting or by surgery but since he has sustained the injury three times it might be necessary for him to have the injury surgically repaired.


Just wondering if anyone out there analyzes themself to the point of insanity. Lately I've been worrying I have some type of Bipolar disorder. Now I've convinced myself I have some type of personality disorder, possibly Borderline Personality. I sit and read and read and read, seeing how symptoms relate to me. I guess I see how my behavior is troublesome and not healthy so I am looking for an answer as to why it's happening. I'm so concerned about myself right now. I seem to exhibit some of the borderline tendencies, though not all. I have mood swings a lot, my relationship is on the rocks. I go from being in love to completely doubting what I want and feel. I often think in black and white/all or nothing terms. I am very insecure in myself, often reading too far into things my boyfriend says and twisting it around in my head thinking it's something negative he's saying to me. I told him I wanted to take a break a week ago. He has been trying to give me space, but yet I feel neglected and sad that he has been so cold. Well, I asked for space! Lately, as well as in the past many years ago when I struggled with an eating disorder, I sometimes get urges to cut myself. It mainly comes when I am crying, very hopeless, and/or angry. I have never done it because I know it will not do anything for me. But the thoughts still come in my mind and that worries me. I have also had many anger outbursts in my life. I have thrown things, punched walls, hit myself in the head, and often say silly, irrational things that I don't mean. If I get in a fight with my boyfriend, I start acting like a child. I'll say I'm leaving and walking home to my house. I'll start walking to the door all the while knowing I'm not really leaving and just wanting him to come chase after me and beg me to stay. Now this behavior is very immature and irrational. I am a smart girl and KNOW these behaviors are not healthy, but yet I still find myself doing them. This is why i'm concerned. Do you think I'm over-analyzing or do I have reason to think I may have a personality disorder?

Q: Bash to comment a line in LaTeX .cls file with %, using sed command I am trying to use bash with sed to replace this
    \printfield{year}%

by this
    %\printfield{year}%

There are 4 spaces at the start of the line (although I am not sure if this matters). Basically, this is a LaTeX *.cls file and I need to comment out every occurrence of \printfield{year}%.
My attempt was based on this SO post
sed -i 's/\printfield{year}%/%\printfield{year}%/g' mydir/xxxxx.cls

however it produces this output
    \%printfield{year}%

where the % sign is in the wrong place - it should be at the start of the line (1st character), but it is appearing as the 2nd character. I also tried sed -i "...".i.e. using double quotes, but it still gave the same wrong output (above) as single quotes.
Is there a way to comment out this line by placing a % at the beginning of the line, using sed in bash?
System Info
Ubuntu 18.10

A: backslash needs escaping
$ sed 's/\\printfield{year}%/%&/g' file

note that you don't have to repeat matched string again, & is for that.

A: \p
The \ is an escape character. In order to print \ you need to specify it twice. The \p escapes to just p and the \ is ignored. Use:
sed 's/\\printfield{year}%/%\\printfield{year}%/g'

A: This is because bash is interpreting the \ character as an escape character, thus in your sed command
sed -i 's/\printfield{year}%/%\printfield{year}%/g' mydir/xxxxx.cls

its trying to replace escaped 'p' printfield with the other command, to get around this escape your \ with another \
so
sed -i 's/\\printfield{year}%/%\\printfield{year}%/g' mydir/xxxxx.cls

Opening reception 10 February 2018
Until 14 April 2018
Pneuma is the first solo exhibition by Franco Mazzucchelli (b. 1939, Milan) with ChertLüdde.
From the early sixties, Mazzucchelli has been experimenting with synthetic materials that led to his large-scale inflatable objects, which he placed and subsequently abandoned in public outdoor spaces. The works temporarily became part of the urban fabric, and unexpected social roles became activated by contact with passers-by: the public did not passively admire the artworks but was rather keen to move them around, play with them and take them away. The works were intended to disrupt the perception of a familiar place, be it a natural landscape or an urban site, and to allow an escape from daily routines by proposing an unfamiliar view of one's surroundings and situations. Under the acronym "A. to A." (Art to Abandon) Mazzucchelli created hundreds of interventions where he abandoned his art and of which the only remains are photographs and videos that document interactions between the artworks and their ambiances.
The exhibition Pneuma includes two works originally activated for "Armonia plastica" at the Castello cinquecentesco of Santa Margherita Ligure (2013), "Cono 1" and "Cono 2", together with several inflatable canvas works from his later series "Bieca Decorazione" (pure banal decoration), an ironic title referring to the supposedly mere decorative function of art. The main installation in the exhibition, "Bieca Decorazione" (2017), is comprised of 15 different canvases made of black PVC, recalling a larger room installation originally conceived for Spazio Anna di Gennaro in Milan in 1972. The canvases, installed side by side, completely cover one of the gallery's walls, creating a soft architecture with different geometric patterns. Other pieces of the "Bieca Decorazione" series, from the early 2000 until now, will be displayed around the gallery space.
Despite their year of production and ways of presentation, both series share the same ironic approach that is typical of Mazzucchelli's practice. "A. to A." embraces scenographic and large scale works; the "Bieca Decorazione" address a more intimate and domestic context. While "A. to A." underlines the idea of art to be abandoned and not to be kept or preserved, "Bieca Decorazione" takes on the idea of art as pure simple decoration to be sold, dealing eventually with the contradictory attitude of the artist towards the art world.
Franco Mazzucchelli (Milan, 1939) lives in Milan. He was professor of Techniques of Sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. His works have been shown in historical exhibitions, including "Volterra '73" (1973), the 15th Milan Triennale (1973), the 37th Venice Biennale (1976) and the 11th Rome Quadrennial (1986). Since the early 1970s Franco Mazzucchelli has created environmental installations placing inflatable volumes in cities' public spaces and outdoor environments. His inflatable sculptures have been displayed in several spaces in Italy and abroad, such as Camargue, Milan (i.e. Alfa Romeo's factory, Fine Art Academy of Brera's courtyard, outside the Sforza Castle among others), Volterra, Bergamo, Varese, Lake Como, Milan, Munich and more.

Accessible 3-D printing is on the horizon. The futuristic technology promises rapid and efficient assembly of a wide range of objects, ranging from everyday household materials to weapons, food and more. While 3-D printers have been around since the 1980s, they have a long history of high cost, confusing software and poor delivery. However, starting less than 10 years ago, a new wave of engineers have developed models that promise a high level of success in reproducing plastics, and designs have been submitted for projects as large as houses. As can be expected, most of these massive operations cost thousands of dollars, and many require advanced technical knowledge to run effectively. That's where Mission Street Manufacturing comes in. This startup out of Santa Barbara, Calif. promises a unique package: affordability and ease of access. Starting from scratch, they have developed a prototype that promises to deliver high-quality 3-D printers to schoolchildren in an effort to teach hands-on science and creativity.
The startup began as many do - with a friendship. The founders, Brian Jaffe and Gabe Rosenhouse, have a long history of ambitious projects, dating back to middle school science fairs. While their paths split as they entered adulthood, with Jaffe serving in the Navy while Rosenhouse attended the University of Chicago as a PhD candidate in neurobiology. The two met up, and Jaffe brought up the idea of crafting a 3-D printer that kids could use without breaking the bank. Rosenhouse liked what he heard, and started working on the project. Eventually, lured by the idea, his friendship with Jaffe and new-found compatriots in Southern California, and, crucially the weather (beach town vs. windy city, who could argue with that?), Rosenhouse eventually decided to dedicate his efforts to Mission Street Manufacturing, full-time.
Now, just one year later, the startup is turning heads.
While there were issues getting up to speed, especially while coding for the sort of precise measurements that 3-D printers require, the team met its deadline of delivering a working prototype. They successfully started a Kickstarter campaign for the Printeer, which will allow children to design and print their own creations from an iPad. The fundraiser has more than doubled its goal, just another sign of the interest in the field.
What's more, the Printeer is already in use in local schools, delivering hands-on classroom demos that never cease to delight kids of all ages. The company's goal is to help bridge the gap between drawing board and technology. It's pretty obvious that in the digital age, a truly well-rounded education will need to familiarize children with technological advances. Mission Street Manufacturing hopes that it will spearhead a new wave of classroom innovation with the Printeer. While the product quality is admittedly not equal to other models, it's also often $1,000 cheaper, and it doesn't require knowledge of coding. Once you take the goal of providing young children with the tools to materialize their creations into mind, everything fits perfectly.

A water sign, Pig is known for its going with the flow, imaginary thinking and lucid dreams, and openness to new beginnings. Pig totem energetically resonates with the season of winter, and is most active during the early morning or evening hours. Pig/boar totem may offer support to energetically change lazy behaviors, overcome procrastination, and give one an appreciative attitude and zest for living fully and with joy.
Pigs are social, inquisitive, smart and independent animals, that love to explore and discover amazing food delicacies as they venture along. The pig/boar totem would be perfect for an outdoor enthusiast, foodie, or traveler. In natural circumstances, the pig social structure is based on matriarchal herds and their offspring. Pig/boar totem represents the divine feminine and may be supportive for female oriented households or multi-generational family living situations. Pig/boar totem energetically supports feelings of devotion and love in relationships with self, partners, family, and the community.
Sincerity and generosity are energetic qualities of pig totem. Pig may be a helpful totem for those who would like to be more altruistic and attentive to the needs of others. Pig totem may also act a reminder to not be naïve and act unknowingly. Like boar/pig with their keen sense of smell, this animal totem helps one acknowledge when something doesn't smell quite right and offers energetic protection from unscrupulous people who take advantage of people and situations.
Boar/Pig totem teaches one to confront ideas of self-importance, to face your fears, and shred the false beliefs and lies that make up levels of deceit and insincerity. Rooting out your personal weaknesses, wild boar/pig totem digs deep to find a transformational "truffle" turning an energetic liability into something delicious and magical. Saying "YES" resonates with the boar energies; supporting endeavors that are FUN, challenging, and launch you right out of your comfort zone. Use wild boar energy to stand strong and truthful in your space especially when life circumstances feel challenging. Use the pig/boar totem energy to overcome procrastination and to get back on track with personal goals, professional career advancement, and for successful project completion.
In healing, Pig totem may be helpful for those with skin issues and body temperature challenges. Vulnerable in hot weather conditions, Boar/Pigs seek shade and wallow in mud or water because it is cooling their skin and system. Pigs do not have sweat glands instead, they regulate their thermal heat levels through respiratory evaporation via their snouts. Due to the pig's human-like, sparsely haired skin, the coating of mud serves as a sunblock, as well as, repelling flies and biting insects. Boar/Pig Totem may be supportive for those healing from too much sun or as relief from bug bites. Pigs love to be scratched and will rub their bodies and faces against posts, tree trunks, wooden fences, etc. Pig totem may be helpful for those with skin issues and diseases, topical sensitivity, mange, blisters, etc.

President Trump is considering creating a private network of spies that would be controlled directly by him and his CIA chief, according to a report.
The alleged proposal comes in part from Blackwater founder Erik Prince and would be separate from existing intelligence agencies in order to counteract the supposed "deep state" in the national security apparatus that is opposed to the commander-in-chief, sources told The Intercept.
Prince's Blackwater previously provided privately contracted soldiers to the U.S., though scandal over operations that included civilian deaths in Iraq has led him to rebrand the venture and begin working with powers such as China and the United Arab Emirates.
The new proposed intelligence wing, which has reportedly been soliciting Trump donors for financing, would also include spies in areas such as North Korea and Iran.
A National Security Council spokesman denied to The Intercept that anyone at NSC or the White House had been briefed on the proposal, though the outlet said that CIA Director Mike Pompeo was pushing it.
Prince denied that he was part of the project, which also reportedly includes his former colleague and CIA veteran John Maguire, the company Amyntor Group and Iran-Contra scandal figure Oliver North.
He says that the only effort he has publicly pitched has been private contracting options for the long-running war in Afghanistan.
Beyond his work with the government during the George W. Bush administration, Prince has ties to Team Trump, and is the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
The Washington Post reported earlier this year that Prince had traveled to an Indian Ocean getaway in the Seychelles to meet with Abu Dhabi crown prince Mohammad bin Zayed and an associate of Vladimir Putin as an unofficial representative of the Trump transition.
Prince denied acting in any way for the Trump camp or setting up a backchannel method of communication between the future President and the Kremlin.

New Book: In Search of Our Ancient Ancestors
I was very pleased to hear from Anthony Adolph this week, about his new book In Search of Our Ancient Ancestors: from the Big Bang to Modern Britain, in Science and Myth especially as I had just been reading all about it in Your Family Tree Magazine and was intrigued as the magazine review called it 'unusual and fascinating'.
The following is written by the author:
I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book In Search of Our Ancient Ancestors: from the Big Bang to Modern Britain, in Science and Myth, which is being published by Pen and Sword this month.
According to science, life first appeared on Earth about 3,500 million years ago. Every living thing is descended from that first spark, including all of us. But if we trace a direct line down from those original life-forms to ourselves, what do we find? What is the full story of our family tree over the past 3,500 million years, and how are we able to trace ourselves so far back?
From single celled organisms to sea-dwelling vertebrates; amphibians to reptiles; tiny mammals to primitive man; the first Homo sapiens to the cave-painters of Ice Age Europe and the first farmers down to the Norman Conquest, this book charts not only the extraordinary story of our ancient ancestors but also our 40,000 year-long quest to discover our roots, from ancient origin myths of world-shaping mammoths and great floods down to the scientific discovery of our descent from the Genetic Adam and the Mitochondrial Eve.
In Search of Our Ancient Ancestors will tell you where you come from, before the earliest generations of your family tree that you can trace using records. It also saves you having to think any harder about what to buy for your family and friends this Christmas!
I do hope you will enjoy it. Anthony Adolph.
Anthony Adolph's book is available from the publishers, Pen & Sword books, and all good booksellers.

New Passenger lists now online with unique search facilities
RMS Campania, one of the ships included in the passenger lists.
This is an interesting press release from TheGenealogist
TheGenealogist has just released five million Emigration BT27 records as part of their growing immigration and emigration record set. Uniquely TheGenealogist allows you to track transmigration of people across countries routing through British ports on their way to America. TheGenealogist is the only website with the facility to discover families travelling together on the same voyage using our SmartSearch technology.
The new records contain the historical records of passengers who departed by sea from Britain in the years between 1896 and 1909. These new records significantly boosts the already strong Immigration, Emigration, Naturalisation and passenger list resources on TheGenealogist.
TheGenealogist has further revealed that these records will be shortly followed by the release of many more unique migration records.
The searchable records released today will allow researchers to
Find people using British shipping lines and travelling to places such as America, Canada, India, New Zealand and Australia in the Passenger lists of people leaving from, or passing through the United Kingdom, by sea which were kept by the Board of Trade's Commercial and Statistical Department and its successors.
The Homestead Act of 1862 in America gave free land to settlers who developed it for at least five years, and became a particular magnet for Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes, who arrived in their millions. To reach America, it was necessary to travel initially to England in order to then board one of the large transatlantic passenger ships and this preliminary journey has been recorded for many transmigrant passengers within the BT27 records. For the first time these can be easily found using the unique transmigration button.
SmartSearch identifies potential family members travelling together. When our system recognises groups of people on the same voyage as a potential family it displays a family icon. This then allows you to easily view the family.
These fully indexed records enable family historians to search by name, port of embarkation, port of destination, country of departure, country arrival and nationality.
This release adds to TheGenealogist's Immigration and Emigration records that already include the useful Naturalisation and Denization records.
Those with ancestors who travelled out of Britain will welcome this fascinating new release from TheGenealogist that reveal the details of the coming and going of passengers and is a precursor of a set of unique records joining the collection shortly.
Nigel Bayley, MD of TheGenealogist said: "We intend to make researching migrating ancestors easier with our new smarter interfaces and adding more records covering a growing range of countries."
An example from the passenger list records:
Within the passenger lists, on TheGenealogist, we can find the passage of the Dunottar Castle from Southampton to Cape Town in South Africa on the 14th October 1899. One of the passengers was the young Winston Churchill who, at that time, was a member of the Press and was going out to report on the start of the Second Boer War.
Two days before his ship's departure the war had broken out between Britain and the Boer Republic. At the news of this conflict Mr Churchill had obtained a commission to act as a war correspondent for The Morning Post newspaper. In return he was to be paid £250 a month for his services.
After spending a number of weeks in the Colony he managed to get himself onto an armoured train, loaded with British soldiers, performing a reconnoitre between Frere and Chieveley in the British Natal Colony during November 1899. A Boer commando force, however, had placed a big boulder on the track and the train crashed into it. The Boers, having succeeded in stopping the train, then opened up with their field guns and rifle fire from a vantage position.
After a fight a number of the British were taken prisoner, but the locomotive, decoupled from the carriages and ladened with men, managed to escape. Churchill, unfortunately for him, was not one of those on-board the loco. Without his sidearm, which he had left on the train, he had no option but to surrender to the Boers. Churchill was then imprisoned in a POW camp in Pretoria. After being held captive for about four weeks Churchill escaped on the evening of 12th December 1899. He did this by vaulting over the wall to the neighbouring property and taking flight.
If we look at Churchill's travelling companions on the ship out to Cape Town, scheduled to take 65 days, we can see that he was sailing with a mixture of merchants, a jeweller, an actor, a Peer of the Realm (Lord Gerard), an optician and a couple of lawyers. The Hon A. Campbell was also listed, he was another member of the press corps who had made it on to that particular Castle Line sailing to the war zone with Churchill.
I like the unique search facilities for these records which makes this release fascinating.

Find Your Naval Ancestors
Having very recently visited the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth my interest in my seafaring ancestors has been revived.
As an island nation I am sure that many of the readers of this blog will have ancestors that have gone to sea, if only for a short time. Many of us will have family who have served in the Royal Navy and so have discovered just how intimidating it is to research a Royal Naval ancestor, especially if we compare it to looking for those of our kin who were in the British Army or the Royal Air Force.
Tracing Your Naval Ancestors – A Guide for Family Historians by Simon Fowler gives the reader a clear guide on how to use and, importantly, how to access the Naval records which are scattered among numerous repositories around the British Isles with the majority housed at The National Archives in Kew.
The book begins by giving the reader a short introduction on how to get started in their research. Simon Fowler assumes the reader has little prior knowledge of the navy and its history. His book shows you how to trace an officer, petty officer or rating from the seventeenth century up to the 1960s using records at the National Archives and elsewhere.
The reader will discover that the records of RN officers and ratings can be located back to 1660, often with more success than if you were looking for similar records in the army. As holdings for officers and ratings up to 1914 are different Simon Fowler has separated the two into their own chapters. A separate chapter then addresses the records from 1914 which covers all ranks.
There are additional chapters for the various auxiliary services; the coastguard; the Royal Marines; the WRNS; HM Dockyards; the sick and wounded and researching ships.
Depending on the era in question there are many naval records that the reader can use to discover more about the Royal Navy and its personnel. This well illustrated book shows the reader where to find the records, explains well what they contain and is an excellent addition to anyone's library if they are interested in Royal Naval ancestors.

Aristos and Family history
Have you caught the TV series about Longleat House and the Thynn family on the BBC? Its called All Change at Longleat and had me gripped as we witnessed the tensions that revolve around the eccentric Marquess of Bath and his son and daughter-in-law who have taken over the running of the house and estate.
Lord Bath, we discover, has handed over the control of the £190 million estate to his son, Ceawlin, but the handover isn't going smoothly. Ceawlin, whose title is Lord Weymouth but only uses this on formal occasions, prefers to be known by his first name. With such an uncommon name as this I am sure that he is never mistaken for one of the members of the lower echelons of society.
In the first programme in the series we find out that Ceawlin has upset his father by removing some of the murals painted by the latter in the apartments where they had all lived once lived and the pair are no longer on speaking terms. In the village on the estate, there's further unrest after Ceawlin puts up the villagers' rents.
Meanwhile, Ceawlin's glamorous wife Emma is settling into life at Longleat as Lady Weymouth.
In the safari park, the animal keepers wonder how Ceawlin will compare to his father. Lord Bath is still a flamboyant, controversial figure and the village fair allows the viewer to witness the awkwardness of a meeting between the son and his father. Although now in retirement, the Marquess continues to enjoy a famously open marriage. Various 'wifelets' still visit when his wife is away.
For me the most telling part was when Ceawlin was asked whether his childhood was a happy one, growing up at Longleat. There was quite a pause as he considered what his answer should be, then he tellingly said "Happy bits and not so happy bits." Another pause and "it was what it was."
He admitted that as a child he would definitely have preferred to have lived in a cottage in the village like most of his friends did. We heard how, in his teenage years, members of the public traipsed not just through the main house but also through the private apartment where he lived.
For those of us from a less privileged background, who may have occasionally dreamed of life in the upper classes, then this insight into one such family may make us realise that the grass is definitely never greener on the the other side of the hill.
Many more of us than we think may be descended from aristocratic ancestors. Be it from junior lines that have fallen away from the main family, to those who are fruits of liaisons between an aristocrat and another.
If you want to explore this fascinating part of family history research then Pen and Sword books have published Anthony Adolph's book: Tracing Your Aristocratic Ancestors.

Add colour to family history facts to make ancestors lives interesting
I was at a function recently and on my table was an enthusiastic family historian who had been tracing his family tree for many years. Next to him was the inevitable sceptic who tried to put us both in our place by saying just how boring she thought "gathering a load of names and dates was". I didn't enquire what her hobby was, or even if she had one at all.
I did surprised her, however, by agreeing and saying that one of my mantras that I repeat often in my contributions to the Family History Researcher Academy course is to find out about the lives, work, environment and social conditions that existed at the time that your forebears were alive.
If you have discovered, from a search of the census, that your Great Aunt Jane was in service in a large house then I would make an effort to go and visit the below stairs of a similar property. There are quite a few National Trust houses that meet the bill. On a visit to Erdigg in North Wales, this was exactly what I did. There the upstairs and downstairs were beautifully presented to give a feel for what life was like for our ancestors living in both levels of society.
As a worked example of what I teach, let's consider my ancestor Henry Thomas Thorne. From the census of 1861, accessed on TheGenealogist I am able to discover him working in the Naval Dockyard at Portsmouth where he is employed as a rope-maker at H.M.Dockyard.
This weekend I had the chance to visit Portsmouth and not only go to the church where he married, but also to tour the Historic Dockyard and see an exhibit explaining how men like my 2x great-grandfather and his colleagues created the cordage that the Royal Navy of the time required for its ships.
I had previously obtained a copy of my ancestors' wedding certificate from the GRO, having found their details in the Births, Marriages and Death Indexes that are available on various websites.
On this visit to Portsmouth I could now walk in the footsteps of my forebears on their wedding day the 5th February 1859 at St Mary's, Portsea Island.
I could go on board H.M.S. Warrior, an actual warship from the time period (1860) and see how the cordage that he made was used on this ironclad steam and sail man-of-war.
And I could see the tools that Henry would have used everyday, in the exhibition piece there.
This story of my weekend excursion illustrates how I use the information that I discover in the records as a springboard to go on and find social history museums, or even the actual places that my ancestors would have gone to, and so build my family's story.
If you haven't moved past the gathering of names and dates stage in your family tree research, then I urge you to start doing so now.

Who Do You Think You Are? Sir Derek Jacobi – Wills and more
I watched the Sir Derek Jacobi episode of Who Do You think You Are? with great interest this week. The television researchers showed us that although the famous actor was born into a South London family of humble stock, he was descended from a Huguenot ancestor of status. Joseph De La Plaigne had been imprisoned in France for his protestant beliefs, before making his escape to England in his sixties.
It gave me great delight to find the TV programme showed Sir Derek a copy of his illustrious forebear's will, as I too had discovered this very same document when looking around the Prerogative Court of Canterbury wills on TheGenealogist's website.
If you want to read more about this and some of Sir Derek's other ancestors' last wishes, then there is an article on TheGenealogist's website that I helped put together.
Many people from all stations of society, including some whom we would not have expected to have, made wills and so it is certainly worth taking a look to see if your ancestors left one.
Before 1858, England and Wales were divided into two provinces. The largest and most influential was Canterbury, which covered the South of England up to the Midlands and also Wales. The other was York, which covered Durham, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Westmorland, Cumberland, Lancashire, Cheshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Isle of Man. The two provinces of Canterbury and York each had their own Archbishop, and were divided into several dioceses. Each diocese had a minimum of two bishops, and these dioceses were also divided again into archdeaconries.
All wills, up until 12 January 1858, had to be proven in a church court to ensure that the will was legal. Wills were proven in over 250 church courts across the country, and the records of these are now stored mostly in local record offices.
For more on wills there is a module that reveals more about the subject inside the Family History Researcher Academy course on English/Welsh Family History that is available from the link below. The course takes the student from beginning researching their English/Welsh ancestor to deal with many intermediate level lessons such as wills and much more.
Who Do You Think You Are? Paul Hollywood
Paul_Hollywood
Did you watch the Paul Hollywood programme in the 12th series of Who Do You Think You Are?
I thought it was a great show to start the new series off. Paul came across as a genuine normal guy who like many of us wished he had taken the time to speak more to his relatives about the past before they sadly died.
Even though one of the main lessons in my Family History course is to talk to your relatives and jot down what they tell you, as a basis for then trying to substantiate their stories with research in actual records, I too am guilty of not having done this before it was too late with some of my own family.
In this week's TV show Paul Hollywood, from The Great British Bake Off, was taken back to his grandfather's WWII experience in North Africa. It was here that his grandfather Norman Harman (1913 – 2003) had been sent as soon as he had completed his training. At Medjez el Bab in Tunisia, Norman's Light Anti-Aircraft division were protecting the infantry from enemy air attacks at the time of the major Allied offensive to take Tunis from the German forces. With the enemy throwing bombs and missiles at them it was hard on these men.
From there Paul travelled to Italy, where he learnt about how his grandfather was part of the landing force that became trapped on the beaches at Anzio for four months, surrounded by Germans and all the while under constant aerial bombardment. Paul gets to see the landing area where his grandfather and the other men would have felt like sitting ducks, with death and devastation all around them. Norman and his comrades finally managed to land and their gun was then transported five miles inland. Unfortunately for them the regiment was soon surrounded by the enemy in a dangerously exposed area. Huge numbers of men had no choice but to dig themselves into 7ft long fox holes and spend months trapped, coming under repeated German shell attacks.
In May 1944 and thanks to Norman's regiment's extraordinary efforts, the stalemate at Anzio was broken. The next month the Allied armies went on to liberate Rome, but not without the loss of 14,000 lives. Paul's grandfather brought back from this conflict a visible memento of his terrifying time. He had developed a facial tic that stayed with him until he died.
Researching his line even further back, Paul Hollywood was seen in the Who Do You Think You Are? programme to use TheGenealogist's 'family forename search' to find Alexander McKenzie, a Wood Turner who had come down to Liverpool from his native Glasgow. I was very glad to see that this company's excellent resource was used by Paul, in place of one of the other two subscription sites who normally always get a look in.
Following his Scottish family line up to Glasgow Paul then found that the next generation in the McKenzie family was a Glasgow Policeman, down from the Highlands, who had a certain amount of trouble avoiding alcohol and was eventually dismissed from the Police force, moved to Liverpool before returning to Glasgow and death in the Poorhouse.
Paul then discovered in the programme that his great, great, great, great grandfather Donald McKenzie, was a Highland postman with quite extraordinary stamina. As a crofter with little land he had to make ends meet with other employment. Donald's was a post runner. Not having a horse, with which to cover his rounds delivering the mail to 30,000 people, Donald simply ran the 120 miles with the mail every week from one side of Scotland to the other.
With thanks to TheGenealogist for permission to use part of their article as a basis for this post. You can read the full piece, that reveals even more about Paul Hollywood's family history, by clicking this link:

The History & Heritage Handbook
With the holiday season well and truly in swing, I'm on a weekend in London as you read this hopefully getting my fill of museums and heritage sites.
If you are like me and end up visiting parts of the country that you are unfamiliar with, then I'd recommend The History & Heritage Handbook 2015/16 to you.
Not content with this current short break, I'm also planning another few days in the South of England in September, perhaps going to the Record Offices and archives there. Plus I've a visit to the Midlands in the next few months. Back in June I was in Salisbury and saw the copy of the Magna Carta that is on show in the chapter house of the cathedral there and visited some other historical venues while there.
The new History & Heritage Handbook 2015/16 edited by Andrew Chapman and published by Heritage Hunter came out only recently and is invaluable to help people like me make the most of our visits.
The book is a comprehensive guide to almost 3500 places and organisations in the UK , the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Each of the entries provides the contact details and a brief description, many of which give specific information about specialist collections and all listed across more than 500 pages..
I recommend you use it to
research your family history: as the book includes details of county record offices and family history societies
find thousands of heritage sites to visit on holiday or for day trips
learn about special archives in museums and libraries across the UK, ideal for researching local, social or military history

Who Do You Think You Are? Series 12 schedule announced.
The BBC have now revealed the running order in which the Who do You Think You Are? celebrities episodes will be broadcast this coming August, September and October. This is the 12th series in the UK and I for one am intrigued as to what family history stories are going to be revealed.
This perennially popular genealogical TV programme starts with the Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood, whose maternal family will be explored on 13th August. From what I have read it will be concentrating on his grandfather's war experiences in Tunisia and Africa before jumping back a few generations to a Scottish line of his. Paul's ancestor was a postman, in the Highlands, who was unable to afford a horse with which to cover his rounds delivering the mail to 30,000 people. Donald McKenzie, instead, ran the 120 miles with the mail every week.
The series will be aired every Thursday evening at 9pm on BBC One, with a one week break in between Derek Jacobi and Jerry Hall's episodes on 3 September.
Although the schedule may still be subject to change, Frances de la Tour's story will close the series on 22nd of October.
13 August: Paul Hollywood
20 August: Jane Seymour
27 August: Derek Jacobi
3 September: No episode
10 September: Jerry Hall
17 September: Gareth Malone
24 September: Anne Reid
1 October: Frank Gardner
8 October: Anita Rani
15 October: Mark Gatiss
22 October: Frances de la Tour

I really am of two minds about the whole thing. And it depends on perspective.
The boards had become bad. We all know that. That's why we liked our little cave. Drastic measures were necessary. So, I see how a reboot is good for the boards.
The classic forums were going great, on the other hand, and in no need of a reboot.
What's mystifying to me is why they were deleted. My instinct, based on the fact that the other boards aren't allowed chat threads and other rules over the years, is that Jonah never wanted subcommunities. He wanted the subforums to be topicbased and the same users to go across all of them and talk about topics in the appropriate board. And the latest move seems to attempt to enforce that, possibly hoping us good people would spread over the community and be a positive influence.
But the forums got far too big for that to be realistic. There are just too many people with too many distinct tastes.
In summary, I think Jonah did what he did for the good of the board. But it wasn't good for the classics board, and I think the classics board should be housed by somebody it matters to, like shaxper.

Thanks, Chris, for that perspective. I was struggling to figure out how this move made sense to Jonah, and that at least sort of does.
The light moderation of the Classics board may have made us seem riskier, despite our record of good behavior, and I suppose the topic doesn't really drive the site's revenue, either (I don't see a lot of ad placement for classics collections).

The power of a QDRO in a divorce
On Behalf of Collins, Buckley, Sauntry & Haugh, PLLP | Jun 19, 2020 | Family Law
Retirement assets like employer-sponsored 401K accounts may be titled in one person's name but be deemed shared assets in a divorce, thus requiring the divorcing couple to determine how to split the assets as part of their property division settlement.
Tax responsibility for distributions from a retirement account as well as the potential for incurring early withdrawal penalties should be evaluated when determining how to split a 401K account in a divorce.
401K distributions and taxes
As explained by the United States Department of Labor, a person who takes a distribution from their 401K account generally pays income tax on the money they receive, as the contributions are made with pre-tax dollars. Additionally, any distribution taken that does not meet retirement qualifications, such as a distribution taken prior to reaching age 59 years and six months, may also incur early withdrawal penalties.
Together, the taxes and penalties may significantly reduce the amount of money an account holder receives from their retirement savings.
The power of the QDRO
According to the Internal Revenue Service, a qualified domestic relations order allows a current spouse or a former spouse to be named as a legal payee on a person's retirement account. Money may then flow directly to the former spouse as agreed upon by both parties from their divorce negotiations.
With the QDRO in effect, the account holder avoids the need to pay both income taxes and early withdrawal penalties on the distributions made to their former spouse. The recipient also avoids the early withdrawal penalties. Taxes may be avoided by the investment of the money into another retirement fund.

Gunnlaugr Leifsson (died 1218 or 1219) was an Icelandic scholar, author and poet. He was a Benedictine monk at the Þingeyraklaustur monastery (Icelandic Þingeyrarklaustur) in the north of Iceland. Many sources (including Þorvalds þáttur víðförla) refer to him simply as Gunnlaugr munkr or Gunnlaugr the Monk.

Biography
Little is known about Gunnlaugr's family or life, but a miracle in Jóns saga helga hin elsta describes how Gunnlaugr the Monk's "disciple and relative" Leifr recovers from a dangerous illness after drinking holy water touched by the relics of Bishop Jón Ögmundarson of Hólar. The miracle is dated to the episcopy of Guðmundur Arason of Hólar (between 1203 and 1237).

Gunnlaugr composed a Latin biography of King Óláfr Tryggvason (see Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar). This work is now lost but it is believed to have been an expansion of the Latin Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar written by his monastic brother, Oddr Snorrason. Snorri Sturluson made use of Gunnlaugr's work when composing his Heimskringla and sections of Gunnlaugr's work were incorporated into Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta.

Gunnlaugr also wrote a Latin vita of Bishop Jón Ögmundarson. This work is also lost but Old Norse sagas of Jón of Hólar are still extant. Gunnlaugr also composed the original Latin version of Þorvalds þáttr víðförla but it is only preserved in an Old Norse translation. Gunnlaugr was also involved in the collection of Þorlákr helgi's miracles. According to several medieval sources, Gunnlaugr composed a work on Saint Ambrose. One study hypothesizes that the extant Old Norse translation of Vita sancti Ambrosii, Ambrósíus saga, may be Gunnlaugr's work, although Gunnlaugr's nova historia sancti Ambrosii is generally identified as a Latin office of St Ambrose, Ambrósíustíðir.

Gunnlaugr is likewise credited with the poem Merlínússpá, a Norse translation of Prophetiae Merlini by Geoffrey of Monmouth. The imagery in Gunnlaugr's translation testifies to his extensive knowledge of skaldic poetry. The poem is preserved in Hauksbók and consists of a total of 171 fornyrðislag stanzas.

India vs Australia: Ajinkya Rahane spreads calm energy in pressure situations, says Ishant Sharma
Ishant Sharma is confident that the Indian team has nothing to worry about without Virat Kohli as they have an able leader in Ajinkya Rahane for the remaining 3 Tests vs Australia.

India lost the 1st Test by 8 wickets under Virat Kohli's captaincy in Adelaide
Ajinkya Rahane will lead the team in the remaining 3 Tests
Ajinkya Rahane has led India in 2 Tests till date and won both on home soil
By India Today Web Desk: Fast bowler Ishant Sharma is confident of Ajinkya Rahane's captaincy as he gets ready to lead the Indian team against Australia in the absence of Virat Kohli starting with the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
Vice-captain Rahane is going to lead the team in the remaining three Tests as Kohli returns home to be with his pregnant wife Anushka Sharma. Rahane has led India in 2 Tests till date and won both on home soil.
Rahane will now have the responsibility of boosting the team's morale and make them fight back after the humiliating 8-wicket defeat against Australia in the series-opening Test at Adelaide last week which they lost within 3 days.
But Ishant, who played a one-off Test under Rahane's captaincy, is very sure that the team has nothing to worry about without Kohli as they have an able leader in Rahane, who he called a "bowler's captain".
"He's very confident and I must say he's a bowler's captain. We've played so many times together. Whenever Virat was not there, he'd ask me 'What kind of field you want? When you want to bowl? Do you want to go on (bowling)?'
"He's a bowler's captain. He's not someone who'd say 'do this or do that'. If there's a partnership growing and it's a flat phase when fielders are just going through their motions, one player's energy level can change the scenario," Ishant Sharma told ESPNcricinfo.
Kohli is known to be an aggressive captain who wears his heart on his sleeve every time he walks on the field. Rahane on other hand, is completely opposite to the mercurial Kohli as he doesn't show much emotions even in pressure situations.
Ishant also compared the two and pointed the advantages of having different characters like Kohli and Rahane in the Test team.
"The kind of energy Virat brings to the table ... not everyone can match that.
"Jinx (Rahane) spreads calm energy in a pressure situation. There won't be any tension, he'd communicate with the bowlers very well," Ishant said.
The second Test is scheduled in Melbourne from December 26 followed by matches in Sydney and Brisbane.

Boots says getting into schools is creating loyalty among the next generation
Boots, which today (25 April) launched the second year of its Soltan Sun Ready awareness education programme, says that targeting young people is helping it to create brand awareness among the next generation.
By Thomas Hobbs	 25 Apr 2016 5:10 pm
The programme, created with agency EdComs, provides curriculum-linked learning resources and materials to schools to tackle awareness issues around sun safety covering subjects from PE to Science.
Boots' head of brand and innovation Amber Kirby says the programme has expanded this year to 28,000 schools, with half a million children now given access to the materials.
It will also provide a 1,000 free Explorer packs to registered primary schools, which include sun cream samples and hats.
Kirby told Marketing Week: "Yes, it is raising our presence among the young but it is about much more than that. The UK has the highest rise of melanoma while UVA rays are creating hidden damage to people's skin."
"There is an opportunity here to not only provide a service with the Soltan sun tan lotion brand but also to really link sun awareness to the curriculum and do more [than just above-the-line advertising]," added Kirby. "We had 1,000 schools signed up within the first 24 hours last year, the rise in demand this year shows this message is resonating."
A strong CSR message has become a marketing fixture over recent years.
Boots recently launched a similar educational campaign raising awareness of undiagnosed eye problems through the Zookeeper Zoe storybook, which is designed to help parents and carers to check if a child might need support with their vision.
Globally, meanwhile, 55% of consumers are willing to pay more for products and services provided by brands that are committed to positive social and environmental impact, according to Nielsen. This also appears to be translating into ROI for brands.
Last week, Pearson's VP of brand Emilie Coker revealed that its Project Literacy campaign, which features advocates such as model Lily Cole talking up the negative social impact of illiteracy, had a 800% return on investment.
Kirby says that Boots will continue to make CSR a big part of its marketing. She concluded: "Boots wants to make sure it is always raising a health and happiness message. It has to be part of our ethos."

Many of us want a robust renewable energy portfolio.
Electricity production from large-scale photovoltaic (PV) installations has increased exponentially in recent decades, illustrating an increase in the acceptance and cost-effectiveness of this technology. Along with this upsurge in installations, though, we have seen an increase in the assessment of the impacts of utility-scale PV.
We are investigating the ecosystem-scale impacts of transitioning natural drylands to large-scale PV installations. Our ecosystems supply us with nearly countless "services", including scrubbing carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, regulating the local climate, providing food and habitat for wildlife.
How do we balance our needs for these ecosystem goods and services with those supplied from large-scale PV installations? What ecosystems services or disservices do we derive from PV power plants? Because they are a renewable energy source, a transition to a PV power plant will mean that we are producing electricity with minimal water use and carbon release to our atmosphere, but are there unintended side effects?
One potential side effect: Does a transition to a PV power plant create a heat island, similar to how a transition from a natural to an urban ecosystem creates an urban heat island?
As with the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, large PV power plants induce a landscape change that reduces albedo so that the modified landscape is darker and, therefore, less reflective. This is really a question about "energy balance" - how sun energy is reflected, moves through an ecosystem, and is stored or re-radiated back to the atmosphere.
Check out this Illustration of midday energy exchange. Assuming equal rates of incoming energy from the sun, a transition from (A) a vegetated ecosystem to (B) a photovoltaic (PV) power plant installation where all plants are removed will significantly alter the energy flux dynamics of the area. Within natural ecosystems, vegetation reduces heat capture and storage in soils (orange arrows), and infiltrated water and vegetation release heat-dissipating latent energy fluxes in the transition of water-to-water vapor to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration (blue arrows). These latent heat fluxes are dramatically reduced in typical PV installations, leading to greater sensible heat fluxes (red arrows). Energy re-radiation from PV panels (brown arrow) and energy transferred to electricity (purple arrow) are also shown.
Through a large-scale experiment where we monitored monitored temperatures over a natural desert, a large PV installation, and an "urban" parking lot for more than a year to see if we found a PV Heat Island effect. We found temperatures over a PV plant were regularly 3–4 °C warmer than wildlands at night, which is in direct contrast to other studies based on models that suggested that PV systems should decrease ambient temperatures.
... So does this mean that solar PV power plants are a bad thing?
Absolutely not! This research simply illustrates an advance in our understanding of how PV power plants create a warmer local environment. Is the heat island large enough to reach surrounding homes? More experimental research is required, but our preliminary work suggests that the Photovoltaic Heat Island Effect is constrained to a small area around the PV installation itself.
To fully contextualize these findings in terms of global warming, one needs to consider the relative significance of the (globally averaged) decrease in albedo due to PV power plants and their associated warming from the PVHI against the carbon dioxide emission reductions associated with PV power plants. An integrated approach to the physical and social dimensions of the PVHI is key in supporting decision-making regarding PV development.
Solutions to cool temperatures & boost other ecosystem services?
... So what can we do to mitigate the PV Heat Island Effect?
We are investigating the potential for reintroducing vegetation into the typical PV power plant installation in drylands, which essentially reintroduces latent energy fluxes. Basically, if you think about these two ways to get rid of sun energy from an ecosystem (sensible and latent heat loss), we are trying to increase the latent heat loss from plants so that there is less sensible heat loss (the heat we feel). Such a simple concept that can potentially have a big impact?
... But will this work?
This is our hypothesis - an informed idea - but we need to test this out. We have begun pilot studies at Biosphere 2 working with food crops (see story below) and within other local PV installations using native grasses.

To choose from a large set of finite possible concepts.
When categorizing resources the number of categorizes is often too large for a flat list and requires the ability to browse through possible concepts.
Use for object relationships that have a large set of finite possible objects.
Create a single top concept with skos:narrower and skos:related of the hierarchical concepts that are valid objects for this relationship. The user will be able to navigate among the concepts using broader and narrower relationships. When the user navigates to the concept they want they can click the select button.
<label>Medium <a href="/scheme/medimus/top" title="Browse Mediums"
To provide the user with a small set of possible relations to choose from.
Some relationships are limited to small set of target objects, that are curated separately. For this it is important to provide the user with a list of possible selections inline.
Use when the number of possible target objects in a relationship is limited, doesn't change often, and can be shown to the user all together.
Create a folder containing the concepts that should be presented to the user. Use the calli:hasComponent relationship from the folder to the concepts in an RDF Named Query to select the possible set.
Within an edit template page, add XInclude directive of the ?radio pragma as shown below.
Horizontal radio buttons are best used when the relationship is functional (only one object) and the concepts can be listed in a single line.
Horizontal checkboxes are best used when the relationship is non-functional (can have multiple objects) and the concepts can be listed in a single line.
Vertical checkboxes is best used when the relationship is non-functional (can have multiple objects) and all concepts should visible to the user at once.
Allow the user to lookup or create resources by type.
Many relationships between resources are open ended, requiring only particular resource types. The user may link to a large possible set of objects or create a new one.
Use for object relationships that have a open ended set of possible objects.
Use the selectize.js library, integrated into Callimachus, to create an auto-complete input. The @rel/@resource will be used to populate existing entries in edit forms, while the calli.updateResource call will establish the relationship for new entries. Create an RDF Named Query to search for existing resource. Use the function calli.createResource to create new resources in a modal dialogue.
You may need to change the path of person-search.rq and the Person class to match your folder structure.
To provide the user with a limited set of possible relations to choose from.
Some relationships are limited to a set of target objects, that are curated separately. For this it is important to provide the user with a list of possible selections to choose from.
Use when the number of possible target objects in a relationship is limited and small enough that the user can scroll quickly through all of them.
Create a folder containing the enumerated concepts that should be presented to the user. Use the calli:hasComponent relationship from the folder to the concepts to link all possible relationships.
Within a edit template page, add one of the following markup patterns.
Drop down list is best used when the relationship is functional (only one object) and the list of concepts should be hidden by default.
Select box is best used when the relationship is non-functional (can have multiple objects) and the user should be able to scroll through the list of concepts.

Managerial / business simulation
Ever wondered what it would be like to own your own game company? Make your own games? Game Dev Story answers that question by putting a new up and coming game development studio in your hands. As the CEO, you choose your game style, address the market with the right kind of content on the right platform, and make your mark in the games industry.
Game Dev Story is a simulation game, with the main aim being to take a small development studio and build it up to the become the largest game developer on the planet. You'll have full control over all the every day activities a studio entails, such as the hire and fire of staff, what games to develop and for which consoles, whether to attend certain media events and the occasional chance to purchase improvements to your studio (such as moving to a larger building). Finances are based on overall product sales, determined largely by the audience you're able to rake in. Get it right and you'll be able to develop sequels to your most successful games, or hire out big names to help create your next one. All the while, you will also have to balance the books, or advertise your company and your games through various ways.
The titles you can create range in genre and style, and it's all up to you. The staff you hire will work for you, create graphics and sound, designing the core story or style, but you will determine the overall costs and direction along the way. Every game is rated by reviewers and sold for the console you chose, with constant in game updates on how well it's selling and your current overall income. If money is a problem or sales are down, you can also choose to develop independent projects for other companies to help pay the way to your next game, such as creating FMV's or music scores.
Game Dev Story harks back to the old school 2D graphics of the SNES and PC of old with pixelated characters and midi music, combined with a modern day touch screen menu system.
