Student Organization of the Week: Loyola Mock Ttial and Moot Court
Higher education is nothing without students, so we want to recognize organizations doing great work building community and engaging students both on and off campus.
Our organization this week is a really neat one. Loyola University's Mock Trial & Moot Court Teams!
Mock Trial is among the most successful organizations at Loyola University Chicago. Their goal is not only to be good at mock trial – but they hope that every competitor that enters the program will leave it as a better person and develop skills to last a lifetime. Meanwhile Moot Court is similar to mock trial by simulating legal proceedings, but focusing on appellate court simulations.
Loyola mock trial just completed its 15th season. Winning two (2) invitational tournaments (the inaugural Husky Cup tournament at NIU and the venerable Scarlet and Gray Tournament at the Ohio State University). Plus they had several other notable finishes at other tournaments throughout the season. Unfortunately they came up a little short in the first round of national competition held in Geneva, Illinois, finishing 4-4. But return a large number of competitors for a great run next season.
Meanwhile Loyola moot court finished a very successful season in January at the National Championship Tournament (NCT) in Dallas. For the second time in 3 years, they qualified 2 teams for the NCT, and both reached the second day of competition, a first for Loyola (In moot court, 80 teams begin the competition on day one, but only 35-40 make it to day two). Loyola started the year as the 21st ranked team in the country and we hope that these results will boost us into the top 15 to start the fall 2018 season.
Huge shout out to them for being our Student Organization of the Week… keep up the great work!

Q: I want to make my appliaction only in landscape orientation in ios (Both ios 5 and ios 6) I have use the Xcode 4.5.1 and use this conditions
#define IOS_OLDER_THAN_6 ( [ [ [ UIDevice currentDevice ] systemVersion ] floatValue ] < 6.0 )
#define IOS_NEWER_OR_EQUAL_TO_6 ( [ [ [ UIDevice currentDevice ] systemVersion ] floatValue ] >= 6.0 )

#ifdef IOS_OLDER_THAN_6
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{
    [image_signature setImage:[self resizeImage:image_signature.image]];
    return (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
}
#endif
#ifdef IOS_NEWER_OR_EQUAL_TO_6
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    [image_signature setImage:[self resizeImage:image_signature.image]];
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft;
}
#endif

I have add the key in info.plist.

<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
    <array>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
    </array>

And set the support interface  orientation
IF i have add  the key in info.plist and set the support orientation  and no use the below code , application  is not work in ios 5.0
This code is work but i want to use small alternative concept....Please help me..
Thanks in advance!!

A: Your approach is not healthy. The preprocessor blocks will only get compiled if #ifdef statements are true. What you have done is to make the preprocessor statements depend on runtime parameters.
You can try removing all preprocessor blocks. Make your deployment target 5.0.
Edit: FYI, these methods are callback methods so they will get called by system if needed. iOS5 will call shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method likewise iOS6 will call supportedInterfaceOrientations and iOS6's rotation methods accordingly. So you should handle all your system differences on runtime, not compile-time, unless you are compiling two different versions of app for two different systems on purpose.

A: Thanks MR. basar...i solve my problem ...I explain How to solve my problem....
If you set orientation in your app In IOS 5 and IOs 6
then folllow the step
1) Go to project -> select support Interface Orientations
Example :- You want to select Landscape Left and Landscape Right .. See the image

2) When you select Orientations then automatically add the key in info.plist (check in info.plist ) if no add then you add the key in info.plist
Example:-
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
    <array>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
    </array>

3) add the code  in each viewcontroller
// For IOS 5
 - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{
        [image_signature setImage:[self resizeImage:image_signature.image]];
        return (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
    }

// For IOS 6
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    [image_signature setImage:[self resizeImage:image_signature.image]];
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft;
}

Note:-
1) No Need the condition (IOS Version) ...Because  Both shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation (IOs 5) supportedInterfaceOrientations (IOS 6) are delegate and it's call runtime...(see basar answer).
2) if you work only IOS 6 then no need the code. only work with step1 and step 2

A: There is another way - without setting allowed orientation:
Try this solution - it works on iOS 5 and iOS 6.
UINavigationController Force Rotate
Then, You can implement shouldRotate .. delegate methods, to allow it to rotate only between landscape orientations.
Good luck!

A: remove those preprocessors blocks and add this
to support autorotations in both ios5 and ios6 we need to provide call backs in case of ios6....`[[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self selector:@selector(orientationChanged:) name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];

and we need to call
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;

}
-(BOOL)shouldAutoRotate{
    return YES;
  }

for ios5
  (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation
        {
            return ((toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || (toInterfaceOrientation ==
        UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)); }

Toynbee and Gibbon
In London [in 1919], in the southern section of the Buckingham Palace Road, walking southward along the pavement skirting the west wall of Victoria Station, the writer, once, one afternoon not long after the end of the First World War–he had failed to record the exact date–had found himself in communion, not just with this or that episode in History, but with all that had been, and was, and was to come. In that instant he was directly aware of the passage of History gently flowing through him in a mighty current, and of his own life welling like a wave in the flow of this vast tide …. An instant later, the communion had ceased, and the dreamer was back again in the every-day cockney world.

It was at Rome, on the 15th of October 1764, as I sat musing amidst the ruins of the Capitol, while the bare-footed fryars were singing vespers in the temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the decline and fall of the city first started to my mind. But my original plan was circumscribed to the decay of the city rather than of the empire: and though my reading and reflections began to point towards that object, some years elapsed, and several avocations intervened, before I was seriously engaged in the execution of that laborious work.

This week my guest is R.J. Leahy, author of the hilariously funny mystery, Fat Chance. He writes on how to write comedy. I'd listen to him because his book proves he knows how what he's talking about.
It's an old acting cliché, but it could just as easily describe the difficulty in writing humor into fiction. It's easy enough to make people cry. We're all saddened by the same things: heartache, illness, death. But humor is strikingly individualistic. What's funny to one person may not be to another (flipping through the channels one day, I happened upon a Three Stooges short that soon had me laughing out loud. This earned a pained expression from my wife, one that could best be described as, pity).
And unlike the visual comic who has other tools available: facial expressions, pregnant pauses, and most importantly, other audience members to help push the comedy along (ever notice how much more easily you laugh when everyone around you is laughing? Hence the invention of the laugh track), for or better or worse, we have only the written word to get our readers to smile.
But as difficult as humor is to get right, it is a tool every writer needs in his box. Even the bleakest novel can benefit from a bit of levity, if for no other reason than to give the reader a break from the intensity. Like everything else in writing, an ear for humor is developed from experience and practice, but you may find the task easier, if you follow a few simple rules.
1.) If your character cries/laughs, your reader doesn't have to.
Dialogue should be funny to the reader, not the characters. The characters play it straight. Only we, the readers, should catch the joke.
Having a character laugh at something obvious is a classic case of, "hanging a lantern"—an annoyingly unsubtle way to point out to the reader that this was meant to be funny.
2.) Like perfume, humor should be discovered, not announced.
Tom: I can't believe we avoided stepping in puddles for six blocks, just to have a truck splash water all over us!
Mike: I know. It's totally ridiculous!
Talk about hanging a lantern. Never point out the irony or incongruity of a situation. Readers should be able to figure it out themselves. If not, you've missed something.
3.) Don't give us a stand-up routine. Humor flows from the character's interactions within the novel.
Too often, writers try to insert jokes into their prose. This seldom works. Humor should be a natural outflow of the character's personality. Is he sardonic, cheerful, introverted, stoic? The type of humorous thoughts, actions and dialogue you attribute to him should be consistent with his personality. That doesn't mean he can't step out of his comfort zone from time to time, but be true to the nature you've given him.
4.) Don't forget your narrator.
Unconventional similes and metaphors; irony and exaggeration; they can all be used by the narrator to add humor to a piece, either subtle or broad. Hitchhikers Guide; Catcher in the Rye; Even Cowgirls get the Blues, are only a few of the works that use the narrator masterfully to convey humor and wit.
Which brings us to the final piece of advice: Read. Find those books that make you laugh and study them.

Spice contributed to death of Anchorage homeless person, state says
By Laurel Andrews
Updated: September 28, 2016 Published: August 18, 2015
The synthetic drug Spice contributed to the death of an Anchorage homeless person, state health officials said Tuesday.
Autopsy results revealed positive test results for the drug, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services said in an emailed statement. The cause of death was found to be the "combined effects" of Spice and alcohol, public information officer Jason Grenn wrote.
The results came from one of six autopsies being conducted on homeless individuals found deceased in Anchorage in recent weeks, Grenn confirmed. DHSS did not release the name of the person whose autopsy results were cited.
Anchorage has been hit by a recent rash of medical emergencies due to the synthetic drug, many of which have been clustered downtown.
From July 31 to Aug. 13, the Anchorage Fire Department made 110 medical transports for "known or suspected" Spice use across Anchorage, assistant chief of emergency medical service operations Erich Scheunemann said last week.
When using Spice, "people sometimes develop moderate to severe adverse health consequences, including vomiting, muscle spasms, seizures, hallucinations, confusion, and suicidal thoughts. In some cases, Spice has been linked to heart attacks and deaths," state epidemiologist Dr. Joe McLaughlin said in Tuesday's release.
"At this point, the bulk of the medical transports have involved young adults; however, there have been many transports involving adolescents," McLaughlin said. "Parents should warn their children about the dangers of using Spice and strongly instruct them to stay away from it."
Spice is typically made by spraying psychotropic compounds onto plant materials. It's a cheap high that is difficult to regulate because manufacturers often switch ingredients as soon as a chemical compound is made illegal.
Police said they believe those recently hospitalized may have used Spice that was combined "with flora that has 'hemlock-like' characteristics."

Ex-West Java Police chief inaugurated province's acting governor

Bandung / Mon, June 18, 2018 / 04:39 pm
Home Minister Tjahjo Kumolo inaugurates Comr. Gen. Iriawan, who was once West Java Police chief, as acting West Java governor on June 18. The former governor, Ahmad Heryawan, completed 10 years in office on June 13, while a new governor has yet to be elected. (JP/Arya Dipa)
Home Minister Tjahjo Kumolo has inaugurated high-ranking National Police officer Comr. Gen. M. Iriawan, who once served as the provincial police chief, as an acting governor to replace incumbent West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan, whose term as the province's head ended on June 13.
"I, on behalf of the President, officially inaugurate Comr. Gen. M. Iriawan as West Java's acting governor. I believe you will do your job well and according to your responsibilities," Tjahjo said during the ceremony on Monday.
The ceremony was held at Gedung Merdeka in the West Java provincial capital of Bandung and was attended by a number of officials, including Ahmad, who wished his successor good luck during the former's speech.
Prior to his appointment as West Java's acting governor, Iriawan had been the main secretary of the National Resilience Institute (Lemhanas) since March 8. The three-star general was also appointed West Java and Jakarta Police chief in 2013 and 2016, respectively.
Speaking to journalists after the ceremony, Iriawan said he had been contacted by the minister regarding his appointment and the inauguration on the second day of Idul Fitri celebrations on Saturday.
"My family and I were in Surabaya [East Java] visiting relatives when the minister called, so I went back right away to Jakarta. As a soldier, I'm ready to do what the country has ordered me to do," Iriawan said.
He added that he would focus on serving West Java residents as well as the provincial state officials' neutrality during the upcoming gubernatorial election.
West Java is among 171 regions participating in the 2018 simultaneous regional elections, which will be held on June 27. (kuk)

Vaccination Mandates
In a recent update (9 November) from the Los Angeles government, attendees of PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE IN LA must present full proof of vaccination before entering the concert venue or a recent negative COVID-19 test result.
"Attendees of outdoor events with 5,000 or more people also will have to show proof of vaccination or that they've recently tested negative for the coronavirus," Los Angeles Times detailed.
The news comes after the official cancellation of the Map of the Soul Tour which was supposed to kick off in 2020 but was postponed and eventually cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.
In a statement, BTS shares: "This is an especially valuable event that will be held under difficult circumstances which is why we will do our very best to bring you an all-new, phenomenal concert, while keeping the health of the artists and fans our top priority."
In an announcement earlier this year, concert producers LiveNation revealed that they will require artists, crew, and attendees to be fully vaccinated or to present a negative test for live events beginning 4 October. At the 76th UN General Assembly, BTS shared that all members have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and also continued to encourage their fans to get vaccinated.
Assuring both Korean and other international fans that they will try their best to be back to their stages soon, the group also said: "It is our deepest regret that we are unable to hold more concerts in more areas. We will do our best to put on additional concerts for not only Korean fans but fans from all around the world who have been patiently waiting for a long time."
BTS will be holding the online version of Permission To Dance On Stage on 24 October at 6:30 PM KST (4:30 PM JKT, 5:30 PM PHT/SGT). Ticket details will be revealed soon.

Common Sense Society Wins Gold in 2021 Shorty Impact Awards
International nonprofit wins prestigious award for 9/11 #WhereWereYou Social Engagement Campaign.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Common Sense Society (CSS), a leading international educational network, announced today that the nonprofit is a gold recipient of the 2021 Shorty Impact Awards. CSS, in partnership with Iron Light Labs, won a Shorty Award in the Social Engagement category for the organization's #WhereWereYou September 11th social media campaign.
The Shorty Impact Awards is an international awards program created to raise global awareness around the positive impact that brands, agencies, and nonprofits can have on society through social media. Throughout the duration of the campaign, CSS inspired 9/11 survivors, their families, and others to share their stories with the goal of reminding us all that history matters. Other winners in the Social Engagement category include CNN, Paramount+, and the American Red Cross, to name a few.
"We are honored to win gold in this year's Shorty Impact Awards," said Elizabeth Stiff, Chief Communications Officer of Common Sense Society. "History matters, but the sad truth is that the significance of September 11th is fading from our national memory with each generation, especially among global youth who have no reference point or personal connection to how much our world changed on that day. Through our #WhereWereYou campaign, CSS brought together thousands of American's stories, and thousands of teachers used our 9/11 lesson plan so students never forget."

It is now clear that transfer activities from Ataturk Airport going to the newly Istanbul Airport is scheduled to start on date 5 April. Earlier it had been announced to the public that the Airport would be fully operating on date 31 December 2018, however, this did not take place. The operations date was further delayed due to unavoidable circumstances to date 3 March 2019. However, it has been confirmed that transfer will start at 3:00 a.m the local time on date 5 April and is estimated to last 45 hours up to 12:00 am on the date 7 April.
Image credit to CNN
Amid the transfer time, the Istanbul Airport together with the Ataturk Airport will allow just the base carriers flights. Also, it has been stated that both Ataturk and Instanbul Airports will only allow 35 arrivals as well as 35 departures each per hour with a reduced capacity.
After the transfer has taken place, the Atatürk Airport will have a closed unscheduled and scheduled both international and domestic commercial passenger flights. This means that it will only avail for cargo, maintenance, the air taxi, general aviation, state aircraft, business flights as well as other flights permitted and recognized by the Airports authority the DHM. A very clear message to all users.
Istanbul Airport has the capacity to welcome almost 90 million passengers annually after the first phase which was opened on date 29 October last year. After the second phase is completed by the year 2023, there will be a large increase in the number of visitors handled to 200 million. This will really be a big number to compare with the current conditions and number of visitors.
The airport will be expected to host flights from 35o destinations worldwide making it a world hub since it will include Africa as well once completed.
It should come to your notice that the airport already has 2.5 million tons of cargo annually. This is intended to reach 5.5 million tons the moment all the phases are complete.

Composers of any age or nationality are invited to present new compositions for solo piano and the ensemble Luxembourg Sinfonietta.
This international Festival has presented a review of selected contemporary works from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The event was organized by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra with the cooperation of the Luxembourg Embassy to Prague and with the support of the Luxembourg Society for Contemporary Music.
The first review of selected contemporary works, entitled Prague Premieres, focusing on current trends in Czech music and initiated by professor Václav Riedlbauch, General Director of the Czech Philharmonic, was held in 2004.
We've had support from foreign music publishers and institutions who'll be working with us to provide the music scores, in particular: from Germany, Schott, Bärenreiter, Ricordi, from Austria Universal Edition, Doblinger and the Mica Information Centre in Vienna, Donemus in the Netherlands, CeBeDem Belgique and the Music Information Centre in Luxembourg.
The "Prague Premieres" is by today still a young but already firmly established event in the world of contemporary music, with a wide European and international participation. I am particularly pleased that the 2006 festival will focus on the composers and performers from neighboring nations, furthering in this fashion a platform where public and professionals can meet over a most intensive period of seven days. I hope that the unique atmosphere of Prague will help inspire future cross-border cooperation and an even more interactive European contemporary musical scene. I wish the festival, its public, its performers and composers, as well as its organizers many moments of musical bliss, as well success and recognition for their truly groundbraking initiative.

What Do the Records Say About Your Ancestor's Town?
You can get real insight into your ancestor's hometown by looking closely at its birth, marriage, and death records.
Not long ago I discovered the original hometown of my 2nd great grandmother, Colomba. She's the only one of my 2nd great grandmothers to leave Italy and settle in America. I wanted to know which town she left behind.
I had to piece together bits of evidence to learn her hometown. I discovered Colomba was born in 1845 as Vittoria Colomba Consolazio in the town of Santa Paolina, Avellino, Italy. By the time I learned this, I already had years of experience reading and documenting the vital records from a few of my nearby ancestral hometowns.
This town stood out among its neighbors. Reading through all the records uncovered the differences.
In those other towns, about 9 out of 10 people were farmers. They worked their plots of land to produce enough food and livestock for their own survival. A much smaller number of townsmen were shopkeepers, shoemakers, butchers, and barbers. There was usually one doctor in the town.
But Santa Paolina looked different. It's a very small town. Very small. Most of the marriages in the 1800s involved a partner from another town because there weren't enough potential spouses to go around. That was the case with my 2nd great grandparents. Antonio Saviano came from another town to marry Vittoria Colomba Consolazio in Santa Paolina. Before long, they moved back to his hometown.
Apart from importing marriage partners, Santa Paolina had another noticeable difference. Santa Paolina's men had better jobs. They weren't working their land to survive. This town had a lot more tradesmen (bricklayers, blacksmiths, and manufacturers) and professionals (merchants, notaries, and doctors).
So many spouses came from another town. What drew them to this spot?
The fact that fewer people appeared to be scraping by says a lot about the town. And possibly about the mindset of the people there.
This little town is in a stream-filled valley at the foot of a mountain where prehistoric man was known to live. The town's craftsmen from the Neolithic age (which ended about 2000 BC) produced fine pottery. Today the town is known for its wines and handmade lace. Records of this town date back to the year 1083. My roots in the town may run that deep.
Was it their centuries-deep roots that made this town different than its neighbors? Did their fertile land ensure the wealth of the vineyard owners? Did that attract young men and women from other towns to marry into Santa Paolina families? Did it allow people the "luxury" of being craftsmen instead of laborers?
When my 2nd great grandfather Antonio came to Santa Paolina for marriage, he was a shoemaker. He came from such a small town, I walked up and down most of it in a few minutes last year. Antonio had a different occupation each time one of his children was born. He was a bricklayer, a manufacturer, a farmer, a driver, and a merchant.
Based on marriage records, it seems my 2nd great grandmother's brothers may have inherited the family's land. That may be why Vittoria and Antonio moved back to his hometown. It may also be why Antonio kept changing professions.
If Vittoria's father did overlook her, that may have encouraged my 2nd great grandparents to come to America. According to the U.S. census, 10 years after arriving in New York City, 67-year-old Antonio had his "own income". He retired soon after. His family never seemed to want for anything, and Antonio was respected in his community. It looks like my 2nd great grandparents made the right decision.
Thanks to DNA, I've discovered some distant cousins with shared roots in Santa Paolina. I'm busily working to fill out our common branches. Somewhere in those documents I may find out why this town was so different than its neighbors.
What can vital records tell you about your ancestor's hometown when they lived there?
Here's how I'm finding the missing connections for my newly discovered ancestor.
Recently I told you how I found a big error in my family tree. It was the result of hard-to-read documents and my not being familiar with a particular town's families. I wound up following Rubina Cenzullo when I should have been looking for Ruffina Zullo.
Some of my ancestors moved to nearby towns to marry.
When her death record showed me the truth—that Ruffina was born in another town—I knew exactly what I had to do.
But now I have a new family named Zullo, and a whole new branch to discover. Ruffina's parents were Leonardo and Caterina. But I want to learn the names of my 4th and 5th great grandparents in this branch.
Here's what I'm doing to expand my new Zullo branch.
When two children of the same parents have the same name, it's a safe bet that the 1st child died before the 2nd was born. The 1st Saverio, in this case, should have died before the 2nd Saverio was born in 1813.
To prove that, I downloaded the town's 1811 death records. I found that the 1st Saverio died in October 1811.
But I found a surprise, too. A month earlier, in September 1811, another Ruffina Zullo died. She was the daughter of the same parents as the other children, and she was 2 years old. It's only because this Ruffina died that my Ruffina got her name.
The correct name led me to a new family unit.
This opens up another avenue for me to explore. I checked the 1809 Apice birth records. Ruffina was not born in Apice in 1809 (not in 1810 or 1811, either).
But I noticed something important. There are lots of people named Zullo in Apice to this day. But there was no one there with the same last name as Ruffina's mother: Trancuccio.
While thinking about this, I formed a theory.
Did Leonardo and Caterina, the parents of the Zullo siblings, marry in another town? Was it Caterina's hometown? That would explain why no other people in Apice have Caterina's last name. If this theory is right, 1809 Ruffina could have been born in Caterina's hometown.
This isn't far-fetched at all. Many times in 1800s Italy a couple would marry in the wife's town but live in the husband's town. My Ruffina's daughter Vittoria has a similar story, but with more complications.
I used a website to see where Caterina's last name exists in Italy. I find it mostly in 2 nearby towns. Another tip: Enter the last name into a genealogy site search for immigration records. See where those people came from.
I downloaded the 1809 and 1810 birth records from these 2 likely towns. So far, I haven't found my 4th great aunt Ruffina Zullo. But I have found people with the last name Trancuccio.
I still like my theory, but I may have to check more towns.
of town. It was destroyed and abandoned after a 1962 earthquake.
There was another surprise waiting for me when I located my 3rd great grandmother Ruffina's siblings. On her brother Saverio's 1811 birth record, the father of the baby is "Leonardo Zullo di Saverio". That means "Leonardo Zullo, son of Saverio".
That's exactly what you hope to find! Saverio is baby Saverio's grandfather, and my 5th great grandfather. This Saverio Zullo was born in about 1764, possibly in the same town where Ruffina was born in 1816.
What can I do with 1764 Saverio's name to help build my tree some more?
Well, while looking for Ruffina's siblings, I saw several other Zullo babies born to different fathers. I also found some Zullo men and women who married in that town between 1809 and 1815. I can download all those records easily.
Found an ancestor's birth record? Search the surrounding years for the births of their siblings. Comb each record for more information, like ages, occupations and other relatives.
Based on the oldest sibling's birth, try to find marriage records for their parents.
Starting in the year of the youngest sibling's birth, try to find death records for their parents.
Pay attention to names. If your ancestor is from a big city, this isn't as helpful. But if you're looking at records from a really small town, you should see a lot of last names repeated. These are the long-standing families in that town. If your ancestor's last name is unique, maybe they're from another town.
Finding out Ruffina was born in Apice when I knew she married and had babies in Santa Paolina was a big surprise. Keep your mind and your eyes open. Let the facts you have suggest a theory about the facts you don't have. Then try to prove that theory. Don't give up the search!
My mom and dad grew up a block apart in the Bronx, New York. They went to the same grade school that was part of the church in their neighborhood.
When I first started exploring my family tree, I was using a website with no search function to view the census. I went page by page through the 1930 census for my parents' neighborhood. Virtually every last name I saw on those pages was familiar to me. They were names I'd heard all my life. Some of them were my relatives, others were my family's friends.
It felt like I was walking through the past.
It turns out there was a lot more family history in those few blocks of New York City than I'd imagined. My mother's grandfather owned her apartment building, so everyone living there was my relative. I'd always known that. But my father's building is turning out to be a genealogy treasure trove.
My dad was born in Ohio. You'd never know it by this thick New York accent, but he was a product of a small town near Youngstown. When he was three years old, his family moved from Ohio to the Bronx. From what I've heard, my grandfather was not happy working for the railroad or the steel mill in Ohio. He found it to be dirty work, and he hated it.
Grandpa's uncle Giuseppe in the Bronx offered the family a place to live. So my dad's family of four moved in with this uncle at 275 East 151st Street. My mom lived on the next block at 260 East 151st Street.
I have to marvel at the fact that if Grandpa hadn't been unhappy with his job in Ohio, my parents would never have met.
This past week I've been collaborating on my family tree with a new-found cousin-in-law. While her husband is a DNA match to me and my dad, he's also related to Grandpa's sister by marriage. So…that's a puzzle we're working on.
I quickly found that her husband's uncle Damiano, born in Italy, lived in the same Bronx building as my dad! This was dad's second home in the Bronx: 562 Morris Avenue at the corner of 150th Street—still very close to where my mom lived.
were from the same small town in Italy. That's no coincidence!
As I collaborated with my new cousin-in-law, I remembered my dad's lifelong best friend has the same last name as her husband. So I asked my parents a few questions about him and began to dig.
Dad's best friend Johnny grew up in that same building at 275 East 151st Street. His father Francesco died in 1939, but he became a U.S. citizen a few months before he died. His naturalization papers said he was born in Benevento. (The province or the city? It didn't say.) The papers included the exact date he arrived in America.
When I found his ship manifest, well, do you want to guess where in Benevento he was born? Colle Sannita! The same town as my grandpa and everyone else I've mentioned above. I was able to go back three more generations in my dad's friend Johnny's family tree. They lived in Colle Sannita at least as early as the 1700s. Same as my ancestors.
My dad's two addresses from age three to age 20 are jam-packed with family tree treasures for me.
The best coincidence about my dad's childhood building? In another apartment was a boy several years older than him named Ralph. That boy would grow up to marry my mom's sister. So my dad grew up in the same building as my uncle—his future brother-in-law.
Did your ancestors live in an apartment house in a city? Or a multi-family house in any town? Take a closer look at all the names in that apartment building or home.
Our immigrant ancestors often arrived intending to join a relative or friend. Were they all in the same apartment building? How much does that apartment building have to offer your family tree?

CTS, Diplo Foundation, APC and others: Session on NETmundial (including a Book Release---Beyond NETmundial: The Roadmap for Institutional Improvements to the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem)"
It looked interesting, but there doesn't seem to be much information on it.  Please let us know when a program is available.
There will be a day-long event on NETmundial follow-up on Day Zero of the IGF Istanbul, which will include the release of a multi-author e-book on implementing the Roadmap http://igf2014.sched.org<http://igf2014.sched.org/>.  Strengthening the IGF will be addressed, as will other institutional issues.  Moreover, strengthening options and the IGF's role should be discussed in one or two main sessions; there are MAG+ groups working to program those now.  And just to echo what Paul said, the CoCom has discussed the possible roles of 1Net at some length, and it's safe to say there's little prospect of it supplanting the IGF in any way.  Whether it could come to contribute something more in other settings, e.g. in relation to the NETmundial Alliance initiative, remains to be seen.


The first single from the EP "Hear I Am" by Kaye Foxx was directed by @leondotcom for @mudwingmedia which shows a relationship that has reached its boiling point due to deception. We have all been there right? Kaye Fox, born in South Carolina moved to the Westside of Chicago as a young child. Like most she found her voice in church choir but didn't stop there. Linking up with Grammy Award winning producer NO ID and together they built an incredible catalogue of music that made her a sought after commodity not only in Chicago, but all throughout the music industry. As a part of No ID's production team, Kaye Fox has gained vocal credits on some of the last few year's top albums from artists such as Kanye West, Rick Ross, Nas, Richard Ashcroft (The Verve), Big Sean, J Cole, & Common. This latest single "Used to Love You" featuring YP was produced by Kaye Fox, Emmaculate, & Shebazz Curtis. Look out for her new EP titled "Hear I Am", which is set to be released in April. The project is a masterful combination of R&B/Soul and Gospel influenced vocals, organic musicianship, and hard beats that promise energetic performances with her live band. Kaye's songs are authentic, personal expressions. She has managed to make commercially viable music with genuine heart and soul. Her involvement in the project is comprehensive including songwriting, vocal arrangements, and co-producing the music. Kaye Fox is a rare breed of artist that is able to create visions of complete songs and bring them to life along with her production team. Follow her on Twitter!
album The Unexpected on Arsenio the other night.
Such an amazing performer and the band was so on point!
Oh and didn't she look ravishing!?
Maino dropped "Tupac Problems" directed by H.O.O.D. from his K.O.B. project which is available now! So many identified (and still do) with Tupac for his struggles, issues and strive to be human in a system set up with many potholes and cliffs where we have to DAILY chose good from bad. It seems more and more that the problems are becoming bigger and more frequent in these times. Maino is never short on sharing his feelings and emotions. He dedicated this song/video to the late Schriff "ST' Williams who was murdered in East NY last Oct. To my understanding his murder is still unsolved even though there was surveillance video from the diner near by.
In the video Maino wears the infamous straight jacket that Pac wore on the VIBE Mag cover I believe came out in 1994. I fell in love over time as he 'stands for something' which to me is somewhat rare these days, especially in the rap community.
I am excited to hear what him and @JustinaMusic cooked up the other day in the studio!!
SCRAM JONES aka the "Triple Threat" was smoozing with fellow friends Kool Herc, Jus Blaze & Statik Selektah at one of the dopest hiphop spots in NYC. If you don't know him yet then I have to ask, "Where have you been?" Reading his bio could be a start or you could just play this dope anitmated video of his latest release "Fork in the Road" directed by Konee Rok!

Via Duomo, the main feature of the city of Naples: a cross between art, culture and religion
History and design of Via Duomo in Naples
Spaccanapoli is the most famous street in Naples, via Duomo with its 1200 meters of grandeur is certainly not a secondary street. This road connects the city with a thousand intersections between art, culture, history, tradition and shopping.
Its conception was approved in 1853 when the Bourbon reigned over Naples, its project has undergone several variations over the years, while its design dates back to 14 years earlier. The idea of the road was to connect the current Via Foria to Via Marina, a project that was expanded over the years to expand the connection beyond the Duomo and beyond the current Piazza Nicola Amore. To complete this connection, the facade and a nave of the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, later rebuilt, were demolished. While the width of the road was always the same.
The works were also banned during the period of the unification of Italy, to then be completed in 1868, via Duomo has always been a street in constant evolution so that during the First World War the street was named in dedication to the then American president Woodrow Wilson.
Via Duomo in Naples: a street rich in art, culture, history, food and religion
Walking in via Duomo we can taste the essence of Naples, a street that is the major cornerstone, because it crosses the three main decumans of the city.
Here we can admire the religious side of Naples with the Duomo, the church where the miracle of San Gennaro takes place or where you can admire the museum with the history of the saint.
Crossing the streets that cross via Duomo we can find many museums, in fact, a few steps from this street we find the famous Chapel of San Severo, the National Archaeological Museum immediately after finishing via Duomo, Underground Naples and many others. A street rich in art and culture, where a single paragraph would not be enough to tell the whole story that one can live near via Duomo.
The culinary tradition, via Duomo is full of pizzerias and typical restaurants, here you can also find many traditional places offering street food both typical of the city or innovative, without straying too far from that goodness that is Neapolitan cuisine.
Via Duomo is ideal for a walk even for those who need to go shopping: the street is full of local shops for all ages and all types, from the classic to the most modern shops.

Manufacturing Expertise: A huge topic that covers some very tangible and intangible areas. Manufacturing expertise relates to not only recommending the most appropriate materials to use, but also how best to produce with those materials.
Take plastic molding for example- some components can be produced via compression molding or injection molding. And there are a wide variety of plastic resins to mold with. Also printing- playing card stock has a grain to it and producing with or against the grain can have some very different outcomes in the final product. And chipboard used in game boards can warp like a potato chip if it's not properly dried and cured.
While we're at it, there are a vast number of specialty materials, packaging styles, and techniques that are available that will help your product really stand out amongst its competition. A few areas of specialization that come to mind are foil printing, custom linen finish, retail package design, effects with dice, and the list goes on.
Material Supply: Your product may include a very wide variety of materials that are sourced from numerous suppliers. Inconsistent supply becomes a huge problem when products require multiple production runs. Make sure that the factory you're working with has well established relationships with their suppliers, and that they're buying materials on a frequent basis.
Material quality is also critically important. Far more materials than you'd think can contain chemicals and other properties that would cause a finished product to fail product safety testing. Quality material supply means that the chemical composition of such materials as plastic resin, paper, chipboard inks, etc. can be documented as having passed testing.
Logistics Expertise: Logistics expertise means many things- the various types of permits that factories have with the Chinese government and their ability to source and ship certain products, the details around exporting goods out of China, inter-factory transfers of components within the country, tariffs, costs associated with shipping to multiple destinations, issues around loading of cartons and pallets in shipping containers (to minimize damage), and last but not least the challenges associated with all things international freight forwarding related. It's a very good idea to work with an organization who really knows the ins and outs of logistics with China. And it can be extremely challenging if the factory you're working with takes a hands off approach to some of these details!
Legal and Compliance Issues: Do you know what requirements exist for labeling your product with the country of origin, your appropriate company contact information, what product safety testing standards may apply to your product or the territories in which your products are sold? And do you know how to arrange for a Certificate of Origin if a retail chain requires it? We do. Also, is the factory you plan to work with ICTI certified? Ours are. All these things really matter, and issues around products produced without proper labelling, testing, or produced in non-compliant factories can be very difficult and expensive to resolve. It's best to consider these issues in advance!
Product Development & Graphic Design: Product development expertise can obviously make or break a game's commercial success. But this expertise can also play a role in material selection and manufacturing, product assembly, packaging design, etc. Our inhouse graphic design and product development services can greatly ease the handoff of digital files, make changes on the fly, and produce better quality products and game play experiences.
Some Final Thoughts: Starting to understand just how many details are involved in designing, producing, and shipping your products? Keep in mind that many of these details and the expertise needed to navigate them aren't reflected in the cheapest pricing some factory quotes on your projects. And you can spend a whole lot more time and money if some of these details are dropped in your lap by the factory that offers such ridiculously cheap pricing.
While there are numerous challenges associated with manufacturing, logistics, scheduling, etc., choosing the right manufacturing partner is critical. And while some manufacturers do only that- product products (requiring you to figure out how to handle other required steps), there are other organizations that have expertise in a multitude of areas. This can effectively reduce your timelines, costs, frustrations, and risk, given the fact that you instead have one source for the wide variety of services that must be put into place to address all your needs.
