1. Take a look at the mainsprings, are they broke? If they are figure $10 to $15 per spring to replace plus the time it takes which could be considerable. You also want to note if they are wound up tight, if they are there is a chance that they have been setting that way for 40 years. If that is the case they may need to be replaced as they no longer have the strength/flex that they used to. I have a beautiful old Seth Thomas sitting out in the shop now in that condition. The time train works great and it chimes on the 1/4 hour (it has a seperate movement for the chimes) but it does not gong at the top of the hour because the spring has been compressed for so long. So the moral of the story is if you are going to store a clock, let the mainsprings down. Also take a look at thier condition, are there any cracks or significant rust? If so, they will probably need replacement.
2. Next we want to check and see if all the necessary parts are there (did uncle Cal take it apart to fix it and ended up with extra parts?). The easiest and quickest way to do that is see if there is power to the stike and time trains. On an American 8 day clock movement there is a lever on the right hand side (this is part of the strike train). Make sure the mainspring is wound up some and then lift the lever. The movement should try to gong. This tells us that all the key parts are there in the strike train. If it doesn't try to gong, take a look for any obstructions (sometimes people put paper clips, hat pins in the gears I guess to stop the clock?). If there still is no movement try turning one of the top gears slightly and see if it will start freeing up the strike train. It may be that the gears are "gummed up" with oil/ dirt etc... Check each gear for damage/ wear.
3. Now we will move on the time train. Start by locating the pendulum rod and on it will be a wire (this is called the crutch) follow it up and you will come come to the verge. The verge is a part that rocks between the teeth of a gear. This gear is known as the escape wheel and what we are looking for. Ensuring that the time mainspring is at least partially wound gently rock the crutch back and forth and hope fully the escape wheel will start turning. If it does the tells us that the time train is complete. If it does not, check for the hair pins/paper clips obstructing it. If you can not locate any obstructions put your finger on the escape wheel and apply gentle pressure as you are rocking the crutch back and forth. It may be that the gears are "gummed up" with oil/ dirt again. Check each gear for damage/ wear.
4. OK so now hopefully you have power in both the time and strike trains and what we want to look at now is the plates. Starting with the mainspring on the strike side (S #1) inspect each of the pivot holes. What you are looking for is any excessive wear in them. This is usually easily identified as the hole will appear oval shaped instead of round as it came from the factory. As you are looking at them, gently rock the gear back and forth as the will also help identify any excessive wear. Do this for each pivot hole on the strike train and when you are done there do the same for the time train.
5. If you did locate any pivot holes that may have excessive wear they will probably require a new bushing being installed. Installing bushings is not very exspensive (if you do it your self) but do require some special tools. Taking it to a clock repair shop to have bushings installed may get exspensive?
6. If you did note and damaged or missing gears in your inspection you will want to take into consideration the maker of the clock. As donor clock movements and parts for most of the common American clock makers are pretty common on eBay (check out our store). By common American clock makers I am speaking specifically to: Seth Thomas, Sessions, Gilbert, Ingraham, Ansonia, Welch, New Haven and Waterbury. If the clock was made by another company (i.e. Platt, Jerome etc...) you will probably have a harder time trying to locate a donor clock/part.
7. One last note, make sure to check that the arm to hang the pendulum rod is present. Sometimes these do get removed/ knocked off.

FURTHER lifting of restrictions was sealed with a kiss today as the Blarney stone and castle reopened for business.
After months of closure due to Covid-19 the beauty spot is again accessible to visitors, albeit with a strict set of guidelines in place.
You can now kiss the Blarney Stone again as Blarney Castle opened its doors to the public. Picture Dan Linehan
The stone is now being regularly cleaned with a WHO-approved cleanser to protect visitors coming into contact with it. An environmental team known as Enva had been working with the castle team to come up with solutions to keep the public as safe as possible.
In recent times it had tested ways of sanitising the stone in way that would be safe for visitors coming into contact with it.
Owner Charles Colthurst, had the privilege of being the first to kiss the stone following the lifting of restrictions, spoke of his delight at the reopening.
Charles and Caroline Colthurst who both wore Liverpool shirt s and kissed the Blarney Stone to mark the ropening of Blarney Castle to the public. Picture Dan Linehan
"We believe this is a significant introduction of measures to help make this 600-year-old tradition as safe as possible," he said.
"There are some very difficult times ahead in the tourism industry but hopefully this is the start of our journey over the coming years to try and grow our visitor numbers back to similar levels before the covid situation."
Mr Colthurst was excited about the future and added: "We hope to see you all very soon, whether it is to step back in time and learn the famous history of Blarney Castle or explore the world-class gardens that we have on offer."

Lisa Gennetian and Colleagues Explore Predictors of EITC Receipt Among Hispanic Families
In a recent paper titled "Earned Income Tax Credit Receipt By Hispanic Families With Children: State Outreach And Demographic Factors" published in Health Affairs, DUPRI scholar Lisa Gennetian and colleagues Dana Thompson (Child Trends), Yiyu Chen (Child Trends), and Luis E. Basurto (Duke University) examine the factors linked to lower EITC receipt rates among Hispanic families. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the largest refundable tax credit for low-to-middle-income US families with children, has been shown to improve maternal and child health and reduce public spending on health. However, many eligible families do not receive it. This study used 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation data to explore predictors of EITC receipt among Hispanic families, an understudied segment of the eligible population. The authors found lower likelihoods of receipt among Hispanic income-eligible families, even those who were eligible US citizens by naturalization, compared with their peers. Parent self-employment and lower English language proficiency were also associated with lower EITC receipt. With new data collected on state policies, the authors found that states' granting of drivers' licenses to undocumented people, availability of government information in Spanish, and employer mandates to inform employees were associated with greater EITC receipt among all income-eligible families, including Hispanic families. These findings showcase ways in which information and outreach at the state level can support the equitable receipt of tax refunds and similar types of benefits distributed through the tax system.
DUPRI Scholars Investigate Net Worth Poverty and Adult Health
DUPRI scholars Christina Gibson-Davis and Lisa Keister, DUPRI student Warren Lowell, and Assistant Professor of Sociology at University of Pennsylvania Courtney Boen, have published a paper in Social Science & Medicine titled "Net worth poverty and adult health".

DUPRI Researchers Visualize Effects of COVID Restrictions on Activity Patterns in India
A group of researchers, including DUPRI's Dana Pasquale, Manoj Mohanan, and James Moody, and with pilot grant support from DUPRI, released an article in Socius titled "Visualizing COVID Restrictions: Activity Patterns Before, During, and After COVID-19 Lockdowns in Uttar Pradesh, India." Globally, restrictions implemented to limit the spread of COVID-19 have highlighted deeply rooted social divisions, raising concerns about differential impacts on members of different groups. Inequalities among households of different castes are ubiquitous in certain regions of India. Drawing on a novel data set of 8,564 households in Uttar Pradesh, the authors use radar plots to examine differences between castes in rates of activity for several typical behaviors before, during, and upon lifting strict lockdown restrictions. The visualization reveals that members of all castes experienced comparable reductions in activity rates during lockdown and recovery rates following it. Nonetheless, members of less privileged castes procure water outside the household more often than their more privileged peers, highlighting an avenue of improvement for future public health efforts.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Within weeks of each other, large scale earthquakes hit arguably the most and least developed nations in Latin America and the Caribbean -- Chile and Haiti. In the aftermath of Saturday's destructive 8.8 magnitude earthquake, Chile's relative stability, economic strength, and experience with natural disasters bode well for recovery efforts there -- a sharp contrast to the chronic instability that plagues Haiti. When Gallup surveyed Chileans in July-September 2009, majorities expressed confidence in the country's national government (58%) and military (54%) -- more confidence than the median for Latin America and the Caribbean and far more confidence than residents in Haiti.
Emergency response contingencies are well-established in Chile, where natural disasters are common. Amid rescue and recovery efforts, Chile's outgoing president called on the military to assist with aid distribution and to support local police forces in restoring order to affected regions where looting and violence is occurring.
Though the Chilean earthquake struck less populated areas than did the Haitian quake, part of the difference in terms of destruction and loss of life is attributable to Chile's relative prosperity -- the richest country in the region in terms of GDP per capita (PPP) -- and solid infrastructure. For example, 76% of Chileans said they are satisfied with the roads and highways where they live -- the highest proportion among 24 Latin American and Caribbean populations surveyed.
However, comparisons with Haiti should not obscure that Chile's extreme income inequality makes some residents more vulnerable than others to natural disasters. The earthquake has left many Chileans without adequate shelter, which 12% already struggled to afford prior to the quake. Food shortages are also a troubling issue. Prior to the quake, slightly more than one in four Chileans (26%) said they had trouble buying food for their families at some point in the last year, slightly below the regional median of 32%.
Chile shares two advantages for recovery with almost all other Latin American and Caribbean populations -- belief in the value of hard work and close relationships with friends and extended family members. More than 8 in 10 Chileans (84%) said it is possible to get ahead in the country by working hard. A similar proportion (83%) said they have friends or relatives they can count on to help them if they are in trouble.
Results from Chile are based on face-to-face interviews with 1000 adults, aged 15 and older, conducted July 3- Sept. 8, 2009. Results from Haiti are based on face-to-face interviews with 500 adults, aged 15 and older, conducted Dec. 8-13, 2008. For results based on this total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3.6 percentage points in Chile and ±4.7 percentage points in Haiti.
Regional medians for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean include results from Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela. All surveys were conducted between June 2006 and September 2009.
For results based on the total samples of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error ranged from a low of ±3.3 percentage points in most countries to a high of ±5.1 percentage points in Puerto Rico. The margin of error reflects the influence of data weighting. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

Q: Storing static data in JSON file vs PHP file itself? I'm writing a web service in PHP using the slim framework. Any request made to any endpoint will only be allowed if (a) the request is coming from a list of IPs (b) the HTTP request header contains a secret string, which is static (I know this isn't the best way to secure a web service, but this service is mostly for internal use and we don't need anything more complicated).
Should I store the list of IPs and the shared secret in a JSON file or should I initialize the array of IPs and the shared secret string in the PHP script itself?
Storing it in a JSON file would mean that the data would have to be read from disk on every HTTP request. I'm assuming this is bad as far as performance is concerned?

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 28 points and 12 rebounds, and Milwaukee snapped a four-game skid with a 94-87 victory over the Spurs on Friday night in San Antonio during Eric Bledsoe's debut with the Bucks.
Bledsoe started in his first game with Milwaukee three days after being acquired in a trade with Phoenix. Bledsoe made his first attempt, a runner from 13 feet, and he finished with 13 points and seven assists on six-for-15 shooting.
The Bucks won for the first time in November and snapped the Spurs' three-game winning streak.
Antetokounmpo and San Antonio forward LaMarcus Aldridge played to an early stalemate in a battle of the teams' star big men.
Aldridge muscled his way to the basket and scored 20 points on eight-for-14 shooting. Antetokounmpo elevated to the rim for a series of layups and dunks in shooting 12 for 24.
at Boston 90, Charlotte 87: Jayson Tatum had 16 points, Shane Larkin added 16 off the bench and the Celtics overcame an injury to Kyrie Irving and a 12-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Hornets. Terry Rozier finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and four assists, playing an increased role after Irving left the game in the first quarter after taking an elbow to the face.
Miami 84, at Utah 74: Dion Waiters scored 21 points, and the Heat rallied to beat the Jazz. Goran Dragic had 18 points for Miami, and Tyler Johnson finished with 11 on an ugly night for each team on the offensive end.
Indiana 105, at Chicago 87: Victor Oladipo scored 25 points, and the Pacers snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over the Bulls.
at Detroit 111, Atlanta 104: Andre Drummond had 16 points, 20 rebounds and a career-high seven assists, and Reggie Jackson made a pair of three-pointers in the final minute to lift the Pistons to a victory over the Hawks.
Orlando 128, at Phoenix 112: Aaron Gordon scored 22 points and Nikola Vucevic added 19 to help the balanced Magic beat the Suns.
Brooklyn 101, at Portland 97: D'Angelo Russell had 21 points, DeMarre Carroll added 16 and the Nets snapped a four-game losing streak to the Trail Blazers. Jusuf Nurkic led Portland with 21 points.

Looking for that je ne sais quoi : the conservation of Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré
Posted on February 28, 2013 by nyamhistofmed
By Christina Amato, Book Conservator
NYAM conservator Christina Amato removing a damaged and ill-suited spine from a 1633 copy of Paré's Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré
Many books come through the Gladys Brooks Book and Paper Conservation lab, and often they receive minimal stabilization, or are rehoused in new boxes or folders. Occasionally one comes through that is in need of an entirely new binding, and requires some research before getting started.
Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré, before treatment. Click to enlarge.
This copy of Paré's Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré came to the lab in rather sorry shape; it is a 17th century book that had been rebound at some point in its past. The new binding, or cover, was clearly made centuries after the book was created, and was damaged to the extent that handling the book was very difficult. The usual practice in conservation is to use as many of the original parts as possible when repairing a book; in this case, however, the binding was not only heavily damaged, but inappropriate, so the decision was made to make a new binding for the book.
What kind of binding would be appropriate for a 17th century French book? Beyond historical appropriateness, we had to consider the functionality of the new binding as well. It is a rather large, heavy book; what would be best for a book of this size? How often would this book be used? How would it be stored?
We began with the first question of historical appropriateness. We are lucky to have access to the library's rare book collection, and were able to find other books from the same time period and location, and study their bindings. We also made use of our large collection of books about binding history, researched other libraries on-line bindings databases, and talked to colleagues.
Models of "semi-limp vellum" bindings. Click to enlarge.
With these things in mind, we decided to explore the possibility of making a variation of what is called a "semi-limp vellum" binding. Such bindings are commonly used in conservation, for their historical appropriateness and functionality. With a little digging, a picture started to emerge for us of a typical French, 17th century vellum binding. We did not find a lot of details about how these bindings were made, however. It was very helpful to make a few small models before tackling the original book, to work out these details, and try variations to understand differences in functionality.
With all the knowledge we acquired from these models, and from our research, we can now approach this treatment with confidence. Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré will have a well-thought out new binding which is faithful to its time period, and will protect it well, for years to come. Check back to read about the final stages of treatment and see pictures of the book in its new binding.

Valentines for a Valentine
By Arlene Shaner, Acting Curator and Reference Librarian for Historical Collections
In honor of Valentine's Day, these two "valentines" seemed appropriate items from our collection to share this week.
Valentine 1. Click to enlarge and marvel at the minuscule script.
Dr. Valentine Mott
Pioneer American surgeon Dr. Valentine Mott (1785-1865), NYAM's third president (1849), was the recipient of these two examples of micrography, created by David Davidson. Mott was born in Glen Cove, Long Island, and attended medical school at Columbia College. As a student, he also trained under a cousin, Dr. Valentine Seaman. After receiving his degree in 1806, he sailed to Europe, where he studied with Sir Astley Cooper in London, and then spent time in Edinburgh. When he returned to New York in 1809, he began to lecture in operative surgery at Columbia. By 1811, he had been appointed a professor of surgery, and in 1818 he was the first doctor to successfully perform surgery on the innominate artery, two inches away from the heart, to repair an aneurysm in the right subclavian artery. His patient survived for 26 days before succumbing to a secondary infection. For the rest of his career, he divided his time between the United States and Europe, serving on the medical faculties of the Rutgers Medical College, Columbia's College of Physicians & Surgeons, the University Medical College and the Medical Department of New York University, and performing an extraordinary number of surgical procedures.
Valentine 2.
Aside from the charming but obvious play on Mott's name and the tenuous connection to his surgery on the innominate artery, there is nothing on these "valentines" that explains why Davidson chose to make them. Davidson remains a bit of a mystery himself. Born in Russian Poland in 1812, he immigrated first to England and then to the United States, where he settled on the Lower East Side for awhile before moving on to Baltimore and finally to Boston. Davidson describes himself as an "Artist in Penmanship" at the Stuyvesant Institute on one of the valentines, and he was the creator of a number of different micrographic specimens, including portraits of famous figures and renderings of important buildings. Micrography, the art of using miniscule script to create abstract shapes or representations of objects, is a Jewish art form that dates back to the tenth century. In micrography, the writing itself is so small that the words themselves are not apparent except under close examination. Davidson is credited as one of the first practitioners of micrography in the United States. Various sacred writings were used in the execution of micrography, and for some of his creations Davidson used Hebrew texts, but for these two valentines he used English versions of the Book of Jonah and of a number of Psalms.

Hot Springs: Respite for the brain-weary and infirm
Blizzards, cold weather, and short days call for vacations to warmer climes.
Fortunately, our collection contains a large number of items relating to balneology, the science of baths and bathing, including pamphlets from hot spring resorts across the United States from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Even if we can't really get away, we can take a virtual trip to a warm soak thanks to these guides.
Some of the content in these pamphlets has not aged well, due to both medical progress (no one today could claim that a hot spring could cure syphilis) and political correctness (Hunter's Hot Springs' view of Native Americans is appalling by today's standards). But they offer a unique look into how these destinations marketed themselves using the medical claims and social mores of the era.
Arrowhead Hot Springs
"Here the brain-weary may forget a busy world, the seeker after pleasure find it unalloyed with vice, and all, with their loved ones, secure under the watchful care extended to guests night and day."
Cutter's Guide to the Hot Springs of Arkansas
"The following diseases are successfully treated, the failure to cure being the exception; where a perfect cure is not effected, a benefit is experienced by all where the waters are properly used: Rheumatism, Gout, Scrofula, Paralysis, Neuralgia, Ozena, Catarrh, Sore Throat, Syphilis—acquired or hereditary, in its different forms—Asthma, Gravel, Diseases of the Kidney and Bladder, Eczema, Psoriasis, Uticaria, Impetigo, Prurigo, Rupia, Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Enlargements, Ring Worm, Migraine or Sick Headache, Enlarged Tonsils, Menstruation Troubles, and Sterility. This is a long list, yet the truth is not half told. Not a week passes but some remarkable cures are effected where all hope of recovery had been abandoned before a visit to these Springs had been concluded upon."
Cincinnati Sulpho-Saline Springs and Bath House
"Cincinnati is in fact positively the only place where mineral water, fresh from mother earth, can be employed for the restoration of the sick to health and vigor, where all the advantages of a great city can be enjoyed at the same time."
Hunter's Hot Springs at Springdale, Montana
"The fact that the Indian of untutored mind should be able to appreciate the value of thermal springs may strike us at first as strange and inconsistent. But the Indian, and particularly the Indian of the wilds unchanged by contact with the whites, lived very close to Nature and learned many of her secrets."
El Paso de Robles Hot and Cold Sulpher Springs
"On the skin of an average-sized adult there are about seven million pores—seven million little sewer outlets—which are discharging vents of twenty-eight miles of connecting tubes or pipes—through which a large proportion of effete, worn-out débris of the human body, and noxious, poisonous substances, as I have just proved, are cast out from the animal economy . . . The large quantity of bi-carbonate of soda and of sulphur in these waters washes out all these obstructions from the mouths of these millions of little sewers, and after a few days' bathing leaves the skin almost as smooth as satin."
Which vacation destination would you pick?

English Gingerbread Old and New
Posted on February 5, 2013 by nyamhistofmed
Food historian Stephen Schmidt wrote today's post, which includes findings from research he conducted at NYAM last summer. The post was originally posted on the Recipes Project blog.
Food writers who rummage in other people's recipe boxes, as I am wont to do, know that many modern American families happily carry on making certain favorite dishes decades after these dishes have dropped out of fashion, indeed from memory. It appears that the same was true of a privileged eighteenth-century English family whose recipe book now resides at the New York Academy of Medicine (hereafter NYAM), under the unprepossessing label "Recipe book England 18th century. In two unidentified hands." The manuscript's culinary section (it also has a medical section) was copied in two contiguous chunks by two different scribes, the second of whom picked up numbering the recipes where the first left off and then added an index to all 170 recipes in both sections.
The recipes in both chunks are mostly of the early eighteenth century—they are similar to those of E. Smith's The Compleat Housewife, 1727—but a number of recipes in the first chunk, particularly for items once part of the repertory of "banquetting stuffe," are much older. My guess is that this clutch of recipes was, previous to this copying, a separate manuscript that had itself been successively copied and updated over a span of several generations, during the course of which most of the original recipes had been replaced by more modern ones but a few old family favorites dating back to the mid-seventeenth century had been retained. Among these older recipes, the most surprising is the bread crumb gingerbread. A boiled paste of bread crumbs, honey or sugar, ale or wine, and an enormous quantity of spice (one full cup in this recipe, and much more in many others) that was made up as "printed" cakes and then dried, this gingerbread appears in no other post-1700 English manuscript or print cookbook that I have seen.
And yet the recipe in the NYAM manuscript seems not to have been idly or inadvertently copied, for its language, orthography, and certain compositional details (particularly the brandy) have been updated to the Georgian era:
25 To Make Ginger bread
Take a pound & quarter of bread, a pound of sugar, one ounce of red Sanders, one ounce of Cinamon three quarters of an ounce of ginger half an ounce of mace & cloves, half an ounce of nutmegs, then put your Sugar & spices into a Skillet with half a pint of Brandy & half a pint of ale, sett it over a gentle fire till your Sugar be melted, Let it have a boyl then put in half of your bread Stirre it well in the Skellet & Let it boyle also, have the other half of your bread in a Stone panchon, then pour your Stuffe to it & work it to a past make it up in prints or as you please.
Eighteenth-century recipe book, England.
From the fourteenth century into the mid-seventeenth century, bread crumb gingerbread was England's standard gingerbread (for the record, there was also a more rarefied type) and, by all evidence, a great favorite among those who could afford it—a fortifier for Sir Thopas in The Canterbury Tales, one of the dainties of nobility listed in The Description of England, 1587 (Harrison, 129), and according to Sir Hugh Platt, in Delightes for Ladies, 1609, a confection "used at the Court, and in all gentlemens houses at festival times." Then, around the time of the Restoration, this ancient confection apparently dropped out of fashion. In The Accomplisht Cook, 1663, his awe-inspiring 500-page compendium of upper-class Restoration cookery, Robert May does not find space for a single recipe.
The reason for its waning is not difficult to deduce. Bread crumb gingerbread was part of a large group of English sweetened, spiced confections that were originally used more as medicines than as foods. Indeed, the earliest gingerbread recipes appear in medical, not culinary, manuscripts (Hieatt, 31), and culinary historian Karen Hess proposes that gingerbread derives from an ancient electuary commonly known as gingibrati, whence came the name (Hess, 342-3). In England, these early nutriceuticals, as we might call them today, gradually became slotted as foods first through their adoption for the void, a little ceremony of stomach-settling sweets and wines staged after meals in great medieval households, and then, beginning in the early sixteenth century, through their use at banquets, meals of sweets enjoyed by the English privileged both after feasts and as stand-alone entertainments.
Through the early seventeenth century banquets, like the void, continued to carry a therapeutic subtext (or pretext) and comprised mostly foods that were extremely sweet or both sweet and spicy: fruit preserves, marmalades, and stiff jellies; candied caraway, anise, and coriander seeds; various spice-flecked dry biscuits from Italy; marzipan; and sweetened, spiced wafers and the syrupy spiced wine called hippocras. In this company, bread crumb gingerbread, with its pungent (if not caustic) spicing, was a comfortable fit. But as the seventeenth century progressed, the banquet increasingly incorporated custards, creams, fresh cheeses, fruit tarts, and buttery little cakes, and these foods, in tandem with the enduringly popular fruit confections, came to define the English taste in sweets, whether for banquets or for two new dawning sweets occasions, desserts and evening parties. The aggressive spice deliverers fell by the wayside, including, inevitably, England's ancestral bread crumb gingerbread.
As the old gingerbread waned, a new one took its place and assumed its name, first in recipe manuscripts of the last quarter of the seventeenth century, and then in printed cookbooks of the early eighteenth century. This new arrival was the spiced honey cake, which had been made throughout Europe for centuries. It is sometimes suggested that the spiced honey cake came to England with Royalists returning from exile in France after the Restoration, which seems plausible given the high popularity of French pain d'épice at that time—though less convincing when one considers that a common English name for this cake, before it became firmly known as gingerbread, was "pepper cake," which suggests a Northern European provenance. Whatever the case, Anglo-America almost immediately replaced the expensive honey in this cake with cheap molasses (or treacle, as the English said by the late 1600s), and this new gingerbread, in myriad forms, became the most widely made cake in Anglo-America over the next two centuries and still remains a favorite today, especially at Christmas.
By the time the NYAM manuscript was copied, perhaps sometime between 1710 and 1730, molasses gingerbread was already ragingly popular in both England and America, and evidently the family who kept this manuscript ate it too, for the second clutch of culinary recipes includes a recipe for it, under the exact same title as the first. Remembering the old adage that the holidays preserve what the everyday loses, I will hazard a guess that the old gingerbread was made at Christmas, the new for everyday family use.
150 To Make Ginger Bread
Take a Pound of Treacle, two ounces of Carrawayseeds, an ounce of Ginger, half a Pound of Sugar half a Pound of Butter melted, & a Pound of Flower. if you please you may put some Lemon pill cut small, mix altogether & make it into little Cakes so bake it. may put in a little Brandy for a Pepper Cake
Recipe book England 18th century.
An interesting question is why the seventeenth-century English considered the European spiced honey cake sufficiently analogous to their ancestral bread crumb gingerbread to merit its name. It may have been simply the compositional similarity, the primary constituents of both cakes being honey (at least traditionally) and spices. Or it may have been that both cakes were associated with Christmas and other "festival times." Or it may have been that both cakes were often printed with human figures and other designs using wooden or ceramic molds. Or it may possibly have been that both gingerbreads had medicinal uses as stomach-settlers. In both England and America, itinerant sellers of the new baked gingerbread often stationed themselves at wharves and docks and hawked their cakes as a preventive to sea-sickness. (Ship-wrecked off Long Island in 1727, Benjamin Franklin bought gingerbread "of an old woman to eat on the water," he tells us in The Autobiography.) One thinks at first that the ginger and other spices were the "active ingredients" in this remedy, and certainly this is what nineteenth-century American cookbook authors believed when they recommended gingerbread for such use. But early on the remedy may also have been activated by the treacle. Based on the perhaps slender evidence of a single recipe in E. Smith, Karen Hess proposes that the first English bakers of the new gingerbread may have understood treacle to mean London treacle (Hess, 201), the English version of the ancient sovereign remedy theriac, a common form of which English apothecaries apparently formulated with molasses rather than expensive honey. I have long wondered what, if anything, this has to do with the English adoption of the word "treacle" for molasses (OED). Perhaps a medical historian can tell us.

Wow, there is some real wisdom in this. "...small amounts of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and other drugs for personal use" should be easy to regulate. Like small amounts of snake venom.
"...a better tool ... that allows better action and better coordination in the fight against drug dealing." What kind of a tool, exactly? Like a torch to fight a flame?
I was unaware that addiction was grounds for possesion of anything... what if you're addicted to... other things? Oh, wait, now you don't have to be. Sweet. Forget the bribe to the doctor, honey; buy some heroin with the money.


Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite topics: General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure your organization is ready to go for the upcoming May 25, 2018 deadline!
That's three days, my favorite community, hopefully you're ready to go but I'm going to provide resources here to help you and your organization.
GDPR stands for "General Data Protection Regulation" and is a regulation that unifies and strengthens data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU). Even more importantly it addresses the export of personal data outside of the European Union. While the regulation is in effect now, the official grace period is over on May 25, 2018.
General GDPR Information – Includes an FAQ about organizations outside of the European Union.
GDPR Toolkit – Learn everything you need to know with these resources.
GDPR Collecting Consent Hub – Includes product specific information about collecting consent.
GDPR Community – Connect with others and get access to all resources including links to product knowledge blogs.
Added bonus: You can find these links in the GDPR Community in the navigation bar.
What else is going on in the Community?
• Don't forget about Badge Quest Part II that will be wrapping up soon. Ninja badges are on the line!
• Everyone's responses on my last Community Happenings made my heart happy. Make sure to congratulate Kylea Johnson – she was our random winner of the drawing!
Alright, that's it for now. I'll see you around the Community!
As I read more and more about GDPR, I'm trying to understand whether or not this affects us if we have nothing to do with receiving or working with anyone/thing from the EU? My understanding is No, but everything I read doesn't come out and simply state yes or no. All thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks for posting this--very informative. I am feeling very thankful that we only have a handful of constituents in the EU because I'm still unsure what--if anything--my org needs to do.
Thanks, Shannon! I wonder if you could help me with a topic I haven't been able to find on BB's site... my understanding is that, as a data processor, BB is required to provide immediate notice to affected customers in the case of a breach. We'd like to know what policies and practices BB has in place to ensure this happens. And it makes sense to me that we would amend our contract with BB to state each party's responsibilities in the case of a breach. Do you know who at BB is addressing that topic and/or whether it's explained anywhere in BB's online GDPR resources? Thanks very much.
Hello, I appreciate the update. Can you provide me with a direct link to information about the steps within the ON products for including consent options? I have a few forms on my school's website where I think I need to include this. I am also struggling to understand how to incorporate a cookie opt-in feature into my ON productions website. Thank you!
My initial understanding of GDPR was that we had to send an email to our few EU constituents requiring them to explicitly opt back in to our communications, but some resources say you don't need to if you have "legitimate interest." We're talking about ~200 subscribers, usually former gap-year volunteers who want to keep in touch with the org. They had to fill out an exit form for us to get this information, so does this mean they already consented?
For anyone with questions, I've sent your questions to our Privacy and GDPR Team and will get you answers. I may post on your profile so you get a direct response from me. :) Thank you for all the great questions!
Thanks for sharing this. It made me pause to think through how it affects our org if at all.
Shannon, please do post to my profile and responses you receive from the Privacy and GDPR Team. I want to make sure we comply.
Thanks for all the really helpful info as we all wade through this and what it means for our organizations.


Soon to be in paperback!
It has already been tranlsated into Czech and Russian!
'For millennia the figure of Jesus has dominated the religious consciousness of the Western world, but the Christian belief that the historical Jesus is the unique incarnation of God has long been a source of division within Christendom, and it is now proving a stumbling block to wider ecumenical relations, as Christianity comes into contact as never before with the other great religious systems of the world. But what if the conviction that Jesus is God's only Son were founded in error? What if there never was a historical Jesus? What if the Gospels have been misread for two thousand years?
In The Gospel and the Zodiac, Unitarian minister Bill Darlison demonstrates that the Gospel of Mark – considered the primary document of Christianity – is deliberately structured around the signs of the zodiac. Darlison argues that the Gospel was originally an esoteric, rather than a historical text, and that its stories were never intended to be interpreted in a literal sense. Rather, they are dramatic representations of stages in spiritual development, and repositories of arcane wisdom.


Those who are looking for a teeth straightening treatment in Dallas may be reluctant to use the traditional method of metal braces. Though it is very effective in producing a straighter, more attractive smile, the method itself can be unattractive as well as uncomfortable. Fortunately, advances in dental technology have produced Invisalign®, a system of clear aligners that is more comfortable and more attractive, yet just as effective as metal braces. Each aligner is custom-fit and works similarly to metal brackets and wires – by exerting a small and constant pressure on the teeth to gradually change their position along the gumline. If you are interested in having your teeth straightened, talk to your dentist at White Rock Dental about Invisalign®.
During an initial consultation, your dentist at White Rock Dental will examine the position of your teeth and discuss your goals. A treatment plan can then be created, mapping out the expected movement of the teeth and providing a preview of the projected results. Impressions will be taken of your teeth (using either a putty or digital technology) to create the custom aligners.
To complete the Invisalign® treatment, the aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. Aligners are usually changed out weekly, according to the treatment plan. Regular check-ups with your dentist will be required to allow them to monitor the progress of the treatment. The aligners can be taken out when brushing and flossing to more thoroughly clean the teeth. The aligners themselves will also require regular cleaning, which involves just a gentle brush and rinse. For adults, treatment time averages about 12 months. This time depends on the severity of the case, whether the orthodontic issue is overbite, underbite, crossbite, gapped teeth, or crooked teeth. A retainer is usually recommended at the end of treatment to maintain the new position of the teeth.
If you would like a straighter smile, contact White Rock Dental today to discuss how well the Invisalign® procedure would work for you in Dallas.

Crown Capital Provides $12MM Bridge Loan to Support Petrowest Refi
Petrowest has achieved certain important milestones in its restructuring and refinancing efforts. Over the next several months the company plans to reposition itself as a highly focused provider of heavy construction and infrastructure services with a strong balance sheet. To fully achieve this goal, Petrowest has embarked on a multi-pronged process to dispose of non-core assets, to reduce debt levels and to right-size the organization in the context of the future business plan.
The company has arranged for financing necessary to complete the restructuring plan. The existing bank syndicate has agreed to extend the waiver period from May 19, 2017 to September 30, 2017. The amount of credit available under the existing bank facilities has been set at $38 million which is the amount currently outstanding. It is anticipated that proceeds from the sale of non-core assets will be sufficient to fully repay the bank loans on or before September 30, 2017.
The company closed a financing with Crown Capital for a $12 million bridge loan that matures on November 30, 2017. The bridge loan is expected to be repaid with proceeds received on the sale of non-core assets that exceed amounts applied to the repayment of the senior bank debt. The bridge loan will be used to fund the company's working capital needs through the restructuring period.
In addition, Crown has agreed to refinance the existing $15 million term loan maturing September 2018 with a new $15 million term loan maturing May 2020. In connection with the Crown financing, Petrowest has issued 7.3 million common shares to Crown and its affiliates and has cancelled the 4.3 million common share purchase warrants previously issued to Crown.
Calgary-based Petrowest is a diversified infrastructure company with primary operations based in northeastern British Columbia and Alberta.

Sports Ministry unable to trace source of funding for New Edubiase Satdium
Youth and Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah
Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah has revealed that his Ministry cannot trace the source of funding for the New Edubiase Sports Stadium.
Former President John Mahama cut sod for the construction of the 10,000 seater stadium back in 2016, but the project has since been left unattended, although the current government promised to complete the construction.
According to the Sports Minister Asiamah, the funding for the project was not captured in the budget for 2015 and 2016, and there is no evidence of sponsorship for the project.
Asiamah went on to disclose that a payment amount of one million, six hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and seventy-one Ghana Cedis (GH₵1,650,271.00) had been received in cash by the construction company in charge of the project, Shakdeen Limited from the then Sports Minister, Nii Lante Vanderpuye.
Earlier this year, Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority, Kwadwo Baah Agyemang, accused former Sports Minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye of concealing payments he made to Shakdeen Limited for the construction of the stadium
The matter has been referred to the National Security for investigation regarding the source of funding.
The Minister however stated government's intention of following through with their promise to complete the stadium construction.
The Stadium, when completed, will be the sixth standard government stadia in the country, in addition to The Accra, Kumasi Sekondi, Tamale and Cape Coast Stadia.
It is also expected to serve as the home ground of former Ghana Premier League side New Edubiase United

Ni-Cad Battery Replacement for MJR Series.
Application: When your Amano MJR clock resets itself, or is losing A-LOT of time (not miscalcuating, they never miscalculate). The first thing you try is to replace this battery.
There is a lithium-ion battery soldered to the circuit board. After a decade or so, it dies. The Amano ni-cad battery pack provides back-up power to the onboarad battery when power goes low or off, maintaining the program you see, and the core program behind that. You cannot replace the Lithium Ion battery, as it is soldered to the motherboard.
The battery pack is inside the right side of the frame, held in place with a white nylon zip tie.
1) LEAVE THE CLOCK PLUGGED IN. Unplug it and you risk losing everything.
We have nevere gotten shocked doing this, this way.
2) Unplug the old battery pack connector, plug the new one in.
opposite where the old, now dead, battery is.
We remove the old one, then slide the new one back inside the machine, then make the connection. But there are sensitive wires in there, the difference is only cosmetic.
We also clean the sensors and check (typically update) the daylight savings program, correct the time, check the program - we call you - and oil the machine, get rid of that grinding noise you are hearing, and replace the ribbon.
We can replace the printer if it is printing poorly - the ribbon cable cracks over time, which is why it might print clearly on the left, and worse as it goes to the right side of the time card.
The MJR keypad can also corrode, we have new ones. This is done when the keyboard does not respond. These machines are designed with a 30+ year life span, and only minimal maintenance is needed.
We can replace the sensors. Optical sensors wear out. Repairs are usually much less costly than replacing the machine.
You can also make this machine ring bells, and set up broad IN-PUNCH rounding zones, like no one gets paid until the start time of 7AM, even if they punch in at 6:30 when they first arrive. Stops people from getting paid extra money for unworked hours.

Tom has had such a tremendous career. He served as an industry leader as the chair of RTDNA (for anyone not in news, it's the same group that honors journalists with the prestigious Edward R. Murrow awards.)
He's done much more than that during his tenure at WISC and Morgan Murphy Media. He's led the newsroom and the station in several innovative endeavors and helped the station achieve countless accolades. He is one of the reasons WISC is known around the country for being a legacy station in a vibrant city.
Tom is incredibly ethical and very generous. He's the kind of guy who expects you to look him in the eye and give him a firm handshake. He wants to be in the room when you sign your contract. He wants to know you're committed to upholding the standards of the station and he wants to ensure you're in it for the community.
I'll miss Tom. I'm so humbled and honored to work at WISC. It is truly a blessing to be a part of this newsroom and follow the path paved by so many great journalists and thought leaders.

IDEA CHIAVE 1/8
The role of the Influencer
More than likely you have occasionally been scrolling through Instagram posts and thought to yourself "I could do that as well", but it's not that simple: being an influencer is an art, maybe even a science. It's not about spending a few minutes a day to choose the perfect photo, an influencer spends all of their time thinking up content that their followers might enjoy and of course the things that might cause them to lose popularity. The problems increase when they have to work on an advertising campaign: often companies don't know what they want, and it is often the Insta-star themselves that has to come up with something to say.
Let's start by defining: what is an influencer? It is someone who is able to get people to listen to them and to encourage others to act, mostly to buy things. There are two categories: those who create content – by starting a blog, a YouTube channel or by giving advice, for example on fitness and nutrition, on Instagram – and there are those who make their fabulous, enviable lives a show for others to watch.
Why should someone become an influencer? Maybe you are an expert on a particular subject, you have a special talent or you are in the public eye, having a high number of followers will amplify the echo of your actions even in real life. If you have started a new company, using your online profile to advertise it could represent a turning point in your career and will also be useful for finding new customers, collaborators or investors. Finally, some people turn managing their social profiles into a real job, either part time or full time.

President Trump has made it clear that he is one who keeps his word. If he says he will do something, he does it, even if it takes longer than anticipated.
Because of Dem obstruction, not to mention a few spineless RINOs, funding for the border wall didn't appear in one lump sum as we would have hoped, but that doesn't mean the wall isn't being built.
One portion was just finished in liberal California of all places. And more construction is going on in other states.
Trump has promised to go scorched-earth to get funding for the rest of the wall to be completed, even going so far as threatening to shut down the government to do so.
"Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Friday unveiled the first completed border wall project that was constructed as a result of President Trump's push to further secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Looking at this, I would not attempt to climb it," Nielsen said.
A plaque with President Trump's name was welded onto the wall after the ceremony as Nielsen and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan watched.
The project was funded by fiscal 2017 appropriations, which also funded 14 miles of replacement wall in San Diego, Calif.
When asked during the press briefing if Congress's refusal to fund Trump's request for $25 billion for all desired border infrastructure would prompt apprehensions to spike in fiscal 2019 after it jumped 100,000 from 2017 to 2018, she said CBP and DHS were focused on the most important aspects of that request.
Obama Just Complained About Trump & It's Hilarious – Jealous Much???


I'm hooked on Kevin's Cajun food, and if he's going to make homemade pork sausage, then I might as well be kind enough to supply the condiments. That's Southern hospitality!
Note: I'm still perfecting this recipe.
Bring vinegar, water, and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Let steep for 20 minutes, then strain.
Meanwhile, heat the mustard seeds in a pan over medium heat. When they start to pop uncontrollably, remove from heat and transfer to a paper towel. Put another paper towel on top, and then use a roller to crack them.
Bring the vinegar back to a boil, and then remove from heat and add the mustard seeds. Let them steep for 20 minutes.
Stir in the mustard powder, sugars, salt, and allspice. Mix well and let sit until the flavor combine.

MYP Magazine
Creative direction & editing:
Jonas Meyer
Photography & post-production:
Steven Lüdtke
For MYP Magazine, we portrayed award-winning German actor Louis Hofmann who plays main character Jonas Kahnwald in Netflix's blockbuster series "Dark".
We chose a former overhead hopper as location and spent an entire afternoon there shooting with Louis. The martial World War II bunker is situated in the Berlin Volkspark Humboldthain, a park that was created in 19th century to commemorate Alexander Humboldt and as a dedication to the beauty of nature. Today it's a paradise for climbers and sports enthusiasts. How times can change…

Forum Moderne Landwirtschaft
Kleinundpläcking
After Kleinundpläcking (a Berlin-based brand consultancy) had developed the Modern Agriculture brand (German: "Moderne Landwirtschaft") for their client Forum Moderne Landwirtschaft e.V., we were asked to create the brand's visual language based on a sharp and differentiating brand promise: "the knowledge of us all" ("Unser aller Wissen").
In the first, step we produced a series of key visual photos to interpret the brand's core values. Our goal was not just to photograph the motives of agriculture, but also to take some pictures in the heart of a big city—to explain that modern agriculture is an essential part of people's day-to-day life, no matter where they're living.
In the first step, we produced a series of key visual photos to interpret the brand's core values. Our goal was not just to photograph the motives of agriculture, but also to take some pictures in the heart of a big city—to explain that modern agriculture is an essential part of people's day-to-day life, no matter where they're living.
In the second step, we produced an image film—directed by our dear Frederik Bösing—to explain the brand promise. Originally, it was only planned to use the video for internal purposes. But then FML's people decided to show it to the entire world—in the context of the official launch of the new brand.
In the third step, we developed additional brand identity components such as logo, color scheme, or typography, and defined detailed corporate design guidelines.
Together with our friends of Wenkerottke agency, we created in the fourth step a magazine-like website concept that gives the brand a digital home: contemporary, content-focused, target group-relevant, and synchronized with the social media channels.
www.moderne-landwirtschaft.de
Over the last years, we've been ongoingly producing dozens of photo editorials and short videos telling the enormous variety of stories and personalities that define the agricultural sector in Germany.

The Kooks x Gibson
For MYP Magazine, we portrayed Luke Pritchard, frontman of The Kooks, at the Gibson Guitar Showroom in Berlin-Mitte—a few weeks before the release of the band's new record, "Let's Go Sunshine."
In our interview, Luke discussed the importance of bringing some light and positivity into the world. And he explained how the band managed to revive his late father's voice on the new record. Luke's father had passed away when he was a young boy, and after the interview, he told us that his dad once had a Gibson guitar at home as well.

CIVIS mit Sonde
RCDS Germany
Brand positioning & creative direction:
Maximilian König
Bitteschön.tv
For the 60th anniversary of the political debate magazine CIVIS mit Sonde, we were commissioned with a comprehensive strategic and visual rebranding. We developed a differentiating brand positioning, created a modern editorial design inspired by some heritage graphic elements, and established an all-new brand imagery.
For more than five years now, the CIVIS mit Sonde guys have been entrusting us with the ongoing creative direction, photo production, layout, and prepress for the magazine, which is published three times a year. Also on board from the beginning: amazing illustrator Roland Brückner with his Bitteschön.tv team.
Jannik Schümann
For MYP Magazine, we portrayed award-winning German actor Jannik Schümann in Berlin.
German Exclusive Cars
Unveil The Unseen
Kleinundpläcking created for their client, German Exclusive Cars, a brand called Nolton. The brand's promise: setting new standards in luxury interior customization of Mercedes-Benz cars. For implementing Nolton's positioning, "Unveil The Unseen," we produced the main photo key visuals—a customized C-Class hidden in the woods.
Photography and post-production:
BerlinLinienBus
Grandma Comes
Concept & creative direction:
For Kleinundpläcking and their client BerlinLinienbus, a European remote bus company based in Berlin, we created the idea for the company's very first commercial and, based on that, developed the concept for an image campaign on social media.
With the help of producer Gerrit Klein, director Gabriel Borgetto, DOP Roland Stuprich and our friends from Bonaparte Films, we were able to bring the spot alive.
During Bonaparte's commercial production in Hamburg, we photographed the campaign's main key visuals on set.
Behind-the-scenes content
Furthermore, we produced a comprehensive behind-the-scenes photo and video package for the company's social media activities with Maximilian König as photographer and Steven Lüdtke as director of a behind-the-scenes film.
Visual campaign identity and website concept
After the commercial and photo production we created a specific campaign design and developed the concept for an interactive campaign website that was realized by diesdas.digital. On this website, BerlinLinienBus's followers could upload their personal, campaign-related content. So the brand was able to directly communicate with its target groups.
By the end of summer 2016, the BerlinLinienBus spot had a total of more than 2.5 million clicks on YouTube and Facebook. In August 2016, it was the #1 YouTube ad in Germany—ahead of Nike and Samsung. In the same month, BLB has doubled the turnover to 2.4 million euros, the highest monthly turnover in the company's history. In August and September 2016, market share increased by 3% to 14%. In addition, passenger numbers tripled in August 2016 compared to August 2015.
