A lot off people are having trouble with the Gen 2 modem maintaining a WiFi connection. Try turning of both Google Home mini, smart TV and reboot modem. If phones stay connected for over ten minutes turn on the Google home mini and then after another 10 minutes turn the smart TV on and see if either one cause the phones to drop out.
The smart TV if it supports miracast or chrome cast creates its own wifi network on the same channel as the modem. This shouldn't but could be causing the wifi devices to drop out.
Have you tried rebooting the modem and leaving Smart TV and Chromcast disconnected and seeing if other devices remain connected or can connect.
The only real solution is a modem firmware update but firmware updates take time to develop. The reason for drop outs has to be determined then a solution developed and the update has to be tested before it is released.
In the mean time you could you could try setting up a static IP address and custom DNS on your device and turning off LAN IPv6 (Advanced > Local Network as per this post
Ip address 192.168.0.xx were xx is a number between 2 and 254 each must have a different address.
Network mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway address 192.168.0.1
DNS 1 18.104.22.168 or 188.8.131.52
Google your device to find out how to set up a static IP address. Unfortunately this want work for google chromcast as I don,t think they have this feature.
I believe these Arcadyan Smart modem V2 units have bad firmware.
Ever since I got NBN in December and had this Smart modem V2 connected I had rebooted it 16 times in 4 days to restore service. Symptoms included: delays in web browsing and some pages timeout, cant bring up routers web interface when router fails, cant bring up Telstra speed test site and when it does come up its the Perth server which doesn't work. Intermittent connection to game servers.
I connected my old router which I used on cable broadband and worked flawlessly for the next week.
I got Telstra to send me another modem and the placement V2 and it had exactly the same faults as the first.
I then got them to sent out the original smart modem V1 and this unit has been working well so far.
I just today plugged in the Gen 2 modem Telstra sent me to replace my old modem which was working OK apart from consistent and untimely dropouts together with the wall power socket blowing up. Seriously dangerous situation.
In any case, plugged in the Gen2 - all seemed to working fine for 5 minutes then nothing. Trouble shot a number of times, also with a Telstra phone help adviser and the modem was all over the shop. All lights GREEN yet at some times was getting snails pace bit download other times, great download and then most of the time nothing. It's a crock of **bleep**e. Have read the forums and it seems that the Gen 2 is riddled with issues. Reconnected my old modem and so far no issues yet there will be the inevitable dropout. It's unbelievable that this can occur at such regular intervals with Telstra. Unbelievable. Gen 2? yeah my arse!
Sorry to hear your having problems but it seems be a common problem.
I had same issues on gen2 with all lights green and no access.
Do your Gen2 issues occur on a wired Ethernet connections and wireless as well ?
Are you able to access the routers web interface on http://192.168.0.1 when the loss of internet access occurs?
Are you able access https://speedtest.telstra.com ?
So that we can provide feedback regarding these devices to the relevant team, it would be helpful if you included the following details if you are experiencing this issue:
1. There are two different modem models that are referred to as Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 and they also have different firmware, so please advise if you have the LH1000 or the DJA0231
2. The firmware version that your modem currently has. You can locate the firmware version by accessing the modem page at http://192.168.0.1. The firmware version should appear on the first page by the Gateway Information. Customers with the LH1000, the password to log into the modem is: Telstra
3. Have you tried disabling Band-steering (located under WiFi- in the top menu) and the IPv6 State (you will find this option under Advanced, then Local Network)

In my case, both gen 2 modems I received are:
Boot version: 1.0.38-116.118
Firmware: 0.05.04r
Hardware: 01
It made no difference switching off band steering on WiFi .
In my case internet connectivity failed whether you where on Ethernet or wifi.
Disabling IPV6 also had no effect. Within 10 minutes of booting up this modem
again I lost internet connectivity.
Reconnected my gen 1 Technicolor DJA0230TLS modem and its been working flawlessly.
Hi Ator,
I'm sad and glad that I am not the only one with this issue. I am on my second modem now and after NBN tests reporting no fault I'm now waiting for someone to call me (after 6pm tonight. what a surprise for them that while I'm at work that I cant access the modem) to fault find some more.
The exact same issue, every 10- 30 minutes I have to reset the router to get access to web pages and the router menu. I've just switched to Telstra in December and have had the worst time porting telephone numbers, this modem issue just puts a cherry on top.
Well they will try and fault find as part of their procedure every time you call.
For me after the second call and second modem, I insisted they send out yet another modem.
It was purely by chance that this time they sent me the older model "Telstra Smart Modem DJA0230TLS Technicolor" and it worked. Looks like this
In my case I had my older Telstra Gateway Max Cable Modem (Netgear Model) and I configured it to WAN mode and plugged it up to NBN box and worked as well, while I waited for new modems to be posted out. Off course the home phone wouldn't work as
they weren't capable..
If you have an older modem with a WAN port on back you may be able to do the same.
I one sense I am glad to see so many people having trouble with the Gen2 modem. I thought it was just me.
My home wifi network consists of 2 mobile phones, 2 laptops, a smart TV and telstra TV and a desktop computer a laser printer and an inkjet colour printer/scanner. I am on Telstra NBN.
Right from the first day I discovered I could not connect my telstra mobile to the wifi if the desktop was also connected. Sometimes the mobile would connect for a few minutes, sometimes for a couple of days and then for no apparent reason it would keep trying to connect to telstra air but fail. It was if the desktop and phone were competing for the same wifi channel.
This might go on for days, then just as suddenly all would connect happily. Our other phone, an iPhone on Vodafone never has any problems and the telstra TV is connected by an ethernet cable anyway.
Knock wood, everything has worked well for a couple of days now, but I am expecting it to have another bad hair day again any time now.
Clearly the Gen2 modem has a bug of somesort. It would be nice if Telstra had a fix for it.
Hi laneco
Have you tried turning off the band steering in the Wireless settings as this may resolve your WiFi problem.

Hmm that doesn't bode well!
We're just looking at switching to the NBN HFC from Telstra ADSL2+ and went through similar issues a few years back when we upgraded our plan, we had a Technicolor TG799vac and to be honest was quite happy with it once I managed to get it up and running and find a manual that let me change the settings
Fast forward ~3 months and I was having issues connecting some devices via the WiFi so rebooted the modem which usually sorted the issue only to lose the DSL feed even though I had WiFi! Tried multiple things like rebooting and changing settings and no good, then reset all to default which got back the DSL but no WiFi at all
Did this several times before it decided I wasn't going to have either despite the modem and my WiFi devices saying they were connected! Also noted that the Eco light was off despite there being power to the modem!
Anyway I tried the online fault find which was pretty useless apart from saying I had an issue with line quality so finally rang Telstra and got some Asian sounding tech, said I thought there was an issue with the modem, he says unlikely and had me try checking my phone line/splitters etc which I'd already done to no avail! I also have had issues with water in the pit on the corner of the street!
He then escalated the call to an Aussie sounding tech who had me go through everything again despite being told I'd already done it and believing it to be the modem! By this time I'd also lost the WAN light and all their tests weren't achieving anything yet they were still talking about sending a tech out to check the pit/lines while he had me reboot the modem, this had always taken ~10 mins to get internet connection since getting the modem and it wasn't until I queried why it should take so long that he started agreeing that it may be the modem!
So glad I still had my old TG587n in a box as a backup
Anyway he finally decided to replace the modem which I was happy with until it turned up on the doorstep and I opened the box to find a TG797n with a cryptic note saying due to supply issues with the TG587 they were "upgrading" me to a TG797n!
So after a bit of research about the specs on the different modems (not easy with Telstra modems) and noticing there appeared to be others having issues with the TG799 I made ANOTHER call to Telstra to complain about the old/substandard modem they'd sent and asking why they hadn't sent a 799 as I had previously?
Apparently due to some "technical issues" with the 799 they had been discontinued! I advised him I wasn't happy given I had just gotten all my devices set up on various bands and working well and my Plex server streaming movies well from my computer and was now getting a 2 year old spec modem with only 2.4Ghz band and with other features missing!
After some to-ing and fro-ing he finally agreed to send me a new TG800vac Gateway Max 2 modem which apart from some minor issues with restarting at odd times and the occasional dropout has been fine since a firmware update
Just starting to worry I'll have to go through it all again when we switch to NBN!
why people have so many problems with the gen 2 modem since I got it and connected to NBN I have never have any problem. I have a dedicated server and I needed to do a few teaks to make it work but all was too easy. I think that most people having problems are not computer savvy that's why they post things that they haven't research well.
Which version of the Gen 2 modem do you have. It is the Arcadyan version LH1000 with firmware version 0.05.04r tat most people have problems with. The Technicolor version DJA0231 seems to work OK apart from a few units having faulty 2.4GHz WiFi.
@kali wrote:
I don't know where you got this firm ware update from bit I think people don't know how to set up their systems.
I got the information about the Arcadyan modem being faulty from the hundreds of post both on Whirlpool and this forum of people having trouble with the Arcadyan modem. Most if not all the problems disappear with a firmware update to .06.07r or when the modem is replaced by another modem.
@kali wrote:
I had problems with the new modem at first because I wanted to do everything in a harry but with so many devices I needed to be patient. my smart TV took 10 minutes to connect to the modem and Telstra TV would not show the icons but I worked it out that the Mac address needed extra information for the Telstra TV to work.
People should not need to be IT literate to connect devices to there ISP modems. It should be plug and play either plugging the device into a LAN port on the modem or selecting the correct SSID and entering the correct WiFi password for the Device to connect. They should not have to worry about entering MAC addresses.
Hi @Garry49,
I'm sorry to read that you're having the same problem. May I please ask if any of the suggestions made in this thread have been of assistance? And have you spoken with tech support? If so, what did they advise?

7.4 Land-Surface Processes and Feedbacks
The net radiation absorbed by the continents is partitioned mainly into sensible and latent (evapotranspiration) heat fluxes whose release back into the atmosphere directly influences local air temperature and humidity and thence other climate system variables. In any given locale, soil moisture availability and vegetation state largely determine the fraction of net radiation that is used for evapotranspiration, as well as the photosynthetic and respiration rates. Thus, realistic modelling of land surface-atmosphere interactions is essential to realistic prediction of continental climate and hydrology. In doing this, attention must be paid to the links between vegetation and the terrestrial energy, water and carbon cycles, and how these might change due to eco-physiological responses to elevated CO2 and changes in land use.7.4.1 Land-Surface Parametrization (LSP) Development
The exchanges of energy, momentum, water, heat and carbon between the land surface and the atmosphere must be more realistically and accurately calculated in the next generation of coupled models (Sellers et al., 1997). Fluxes of the first four quantities, traditionally defined as physical climate system variables, are routinely parametrized in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and climate models as functions of the surface albedo, aerodynamic roughness length and surface "moisture availability" (Betts et al., 1998; Viterbo et al., 1999). These land-surface properties can all be defined as functions of the type and density of the local vegetation, and the depth and physical properties of the soil. The first generation of land-surface parametrizations (LSPs) developed in the 1970s took little account of these relationships, and were replaced by biophysically realistic models, complete with supporting vegetation and soil databases, which led to significant improvements in NWP and climate model performance in the 1980s and early 1990s. However, these second generation models incorporated only empirical descriptions of the evapotranspiration process, by which water is taken up from the soil by plant roots and released into the atmosphere through tiny pores in leaf surfaces called stomata, while CO2 is drawn from the atmosphere into leaf interiors for photosynthesis through these same stomata. Research has shown that living plants appear to actively control stomatal widths (conductance) in response to changes in water vapour and CO2 concentration to optimise the ratio of water vapour losses to CO2 uptake, and simple, robust models of the photosynthesis-conductance system in plant leaves have been constructed based on this idea, see Figure 7.5 (Farquhar et al., 1980; Collatz et al., 1991; Sellers et al., 1992a). These models have been parametrized and verified at the leaf level, and can also be scaled up to describe vegetation canopy processes at regional scales using satellite data. These third generation LSPs, published in the late 1990s, thus combine consistent descriptions of the physical climate system transfer processes for energy, momentum, water and heat, with the biophysics of photosynthesis (Bonan, 1995; Sellers et al., 1996c; Dickinson et al., 1998). Why is this important?
Photosynthesis and respiration are climatically sensitive and exhibit interannual variations following climate variations (Dai and Fung, 1993; Francey et al., 1995; Goulden et al., 1996; Myneni et al., 1997; Randerson et al., 1997; Xiao et al., 1998; Randerson et al., 1999; Tian et al., 1999). Furthermore, there appears to have been a net enhancement of terrestrial photosynthesis over respiration over the last two decades, according to inverse modelling results (Tans et al., 1990; Ciais et al., 1995; Keeling et al., 1995; Denning et al., 1996a,b; Randerson et al., 1999); and isotopic analyses (Fung et al., 1997). While disagreements remain about the longitudinal distribution (Rayner and Law, 1999) and the processes responsible for this uptake (Holland et al., 1997a; Field and Fung, 1999; Houghton and Hackler, 1999), these results indicate that changes in the terrestrial carbon balance could be a significant factor in determining future trajectories of atmospheric CO2 concentration and thus the rate and extent of global warming; see further discussion in Chapter 3. The third generation LSPs have incorporated advances in our understanding of how green plants function, how they alter isotopic fractions of gases they come into contact with, and how they interact with radiation to produce distinctive signatures that can be observed by remote sensing satellites (Tucker et al., 1986; Sellers et al., 1992a; Myneni et al., 1995). As a result, LSPs can now be used to calculate mutually consistent land-atmosphere fluxes of energy, heat, water and carbon (Denning et al., 1996a,b; Randall et al., 1996).
Photosynthesis and stomatal conductance also exhibit strong diurnal variation, and improved representation of this has led to better simulation of the diurnal variation of surface heat and water fluxes and hence more realistic forcings for boundary-layer dynamics and convection (Denning et al., 1996a; Randall et al., 1996). These physiologically driven variations in the surface fluxes have a direct influence on the diurnal surface air temperature range in continental interiors and are directly sensitive to changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration (Collatz et al., 2000). Furthermore, increasing atmospheric CO2 is likely to have a direct effect on vegetation stomatal function through feedbacks in the photosynthesis-conductance system. Increased CO2 concentrations allow vegetation to maintain the same photosynthetic rate with a lower evapotranspiration rate. In a recent GCM study, tropical photosynthesis and transpiration rates were calculated to change only slightly under a CO2 concentration of 700 ppm, while the additional surface net radiation due to global warming was mainly returned to the atmosphere as sensible heat flux, boosting warming over the tropical continents by 0.4 to 0.9°C above the direct greenhouse warming of 1.7°C (Sellers et al., 1996a). It has been hypothesised that this effect may be partially countered by increased vegetation growth (Betts et al., 1997), but it is not clear to what extent this would be significant in already densely vegetated areas such as the tropical forests. To what extent can we trust these new models and their predictions?

Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 20-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after June 1, 2020. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 20-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) will serve to advance basic research in the marine geosciences and will be supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and several international partners. IODP builds on a rich legacy of scientific ocean drilling pioneered by NSF in the 1960's with the Deep Sea Drilling Project, which provided a test of the plate tectonic hypothesis and a basic reconnaissance of deep sea sediments and crustal rocks. This was followed in 1985 by the Ocean Drilling Program, which focused on examination of Earth, ocean and climate processes. The current Integrated Ocean Drilling Program commenced in 2003 and has served as an expanded program of scientific ocean drilling based on "Earth, Oceans and Life: Scientific Investigations of the Earth System Using Multiple Drilling Platforms and new Technologies; Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Initial Science Plan, 2003 - 2013" (http://www.iodp.org/initial-science-plan ). IODP, expected to commence October 1, 2013 with the science plan available at http://www.iodp.org/Science-Plan-for-2013-2023/, builds upon lessons learned in the previous programs to build a multi-platform international program based on cooperation rather than integration. IODP planning for JOIDES Resolution operations will be conducted under a Facilities Governing Board rather than an integrated Science Advisory Structure, and management and funding for JOIDES Resolution operations will occur independently of the other IODP drilling platforms. The Facilities Governing Board (FGB) will be made up of scientists and governmental representatives of nations contributing to JOIDES Resolution operations, as well as representatives of the JOIDES Resolution science operator. The Facilities Governing Board will be advised by a Proposal Evaluation Panel (PEP), a Site Characterization Panel (SCP), and an Environmental Protection and Safety Panel (EPSP), and will be further served by a Site Survey Databank (SSDB). The FGB and its advisory panels will be utilized for proposal review by other science operators in IODP. The IODP Science Support Office will provide logistical support for the Facilities Governing Board and its advisory panels, manage and archive IODP Proposals and oversee their external review, and manage the SSDB.
This solicitation seeks the services of a qualified organization to provide the IODP Science Support Office. The award, to be administered as a Cooperative Agreement, is intended to cover an initial five year period beginning on October 1, 2013. A Program Review will be held prior to completion of the initial period and the results will guide a decision to re-compete or renew the Cooperative Agreement for a second five year period.

Some say Intel's 'Oak Trail' platform - foundation for an upcoming Atom-based system-on-a-chip - isn't proving too popular with tablet makers, but Motion Computing, for one, will be using it.
Its Motion CL900 slate will run Windows 7 on the Intel SoC.
The chip giant announced Oak Trail in 2010, promising the platform's early 2011 release would see it appear in "sleek tablet and netbook designs" where it will consume up to 50 per cent less power than past Atoms and enable "full HD" video playback.
Oak Trail is up against Nvidia's Tegra 2 and other high-performance, very low power ARM-based SoCs.
Motion Computing claimed the CL900 will run for up to eight hours, suggesting Intel has successfully brought Oak Trail's power consumption down. Or does the tablet simply have a humungous battery? Unlikely: it's less than 16mm thick and weighs under a kilo.
It also has a Gorilla Glass face, 2.4/5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, optional HSDPA 3G and GPS, 2GB of memory and a choice of 30GB or 62GB SSD.
Prices will start at £825, Motion said. ®

Last month, Alabama coach Nick Saban had an idea for dealing with the problem of agents who pay college football players.
"Let's just throw the NFL out," Saban said.
Apparently, he has.
Multiple league source tell us that Saban has advised multiple (but perhaps not all) NFL teams that their scouts are not welcome on campus to view practices, until further notice.
There's talk that Saban may open the doors on a limited basis. Currently, August 18 has been identified as one of the potential dates.
It makes sense for Saban to provide some access to scouts, even if it's limited. At the end of the day, most of the kids he recruits want to play in the NFL. But if NFL teams aren't permitted to do their due diligence at to Saban's players, it may be harder for them to get drafted.
And, it turn, it will become harder for Saban to recruit new players.

Israeli leader heads to China for talks with political, business leaders
JERUSALEM – Israel's prime minister is heading to China next week for meetings with political and business leaders.
Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Thursday that he will spend two days in Shanghai promoting economic cooperation and then two days in Beijing where he will meet the Chinese president and prime minister.
The trip marks the first visit by an Israeli premier to China in six years.
Amos Yudan, a prominent Israeli businessman who will be joining Netanyahu, says Israeli trade with China still lags far behind the United States and Europe, but has been growing annually by more than 30 percent since 1992. He says Israeli trade with China totaled some $9 billion last year.

Kingston-based designer of self defense flashlights launches first national ad campaign.
Until recently, Brite-Strike Tactical Illumination Products had focused predominantly on selling its self-defense flashlights to law enforcement officers through trade shows and word of mouth.
Now, less than a month after completing a reverse merger that made it publicly traded, the Kingston company has embarked on a nearly $500,000 national advertising campaign aimed at introducing the company's products to everyday consumers.
The campaign began earlier this month with a full-page newspaper ad that ran in 95 percent of USA Today's Aug. 13 editions. It will continue through the end of October with 30- and 60-second cable television advertisements on channels such as CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.
Brite-Strike's push for national exposure follows the report last week that it had reached a deal with BJ's Wholesale Club to sell the company's Lightning Strike – a hand-held self-defense flashlight designed for use by the general public – at 28 of the Natick retailer's stores in 16 Eastern states, as well as on the BJ's Web site. Brite-Strike has also begun selling its devices to the public on Amazon.com and Lowes.com.
Company co-founder and President Glenn Bushee said the ad campaign is timed to coincide with the beginning of the school year.
"Back-to-college is a critical market segment for us," Bushee said. "We're hoping to catch some back-to-school business with the Lightning Strike series, allowing us to capture some additional business in the fourth quarter."
Brite-Strike vice president for finance John Lennon said funds for the campaign were allocated as part of the newly public company's capital structure. Bushee said this ad campaign marks the company's first major retail marketing effort.
"Our goal is to bring personal safety into the hands of ordinary citizens," Bushee said.

We live in an increasingly digital society. We shop, meet friends, research our holidays, learn and play games online using computers, smartphones and tablets. GPS-enabled smartphones broadcast our position and smart electricity meters can now broadcast our electricity consumption 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We're all leaving a trail of data that describes our likes, habits, preferences and behaviours. The headache is that it comes in huge volumes, it isn't in one convenient location, and lots of it is unstructured free text and images. However, with all this data now pouring into customer management and collections departments, the opportunities to exploit this information and make it profitable are rising. But questions remain – 'What should we do with the data?' and 'How can the information gleaned be used to create value?'
GPS information gathered by mobile phone companies has the ability to reveal where people are walking within a shopping centre, but also which departments they are visiting within an individual store. This insight opens up the possibility of location-based advertising. Similarly, credit cards generate masses of information about people's behaviour, detailing what shops people go in, what time of day they shop and what they spend. Some card issuers are already using this data to better understand their customers' behaviour. For example, unusual patterns of cash withdrawals or someone starting to pay utility bills with their credit card can be an early warning of trouble ahead. But even this only really scratches the surface of what insight can be gleaned from Big Data.
The problem is that the volume of information is coming in faster than companies (and their technological capabilities) can deal with. Businesses will have to spend money to harness the power of the data, which includes hardware to store data on and investing in analytics. There is also the added cost of building this data into customer management and collections strategies.
However, new data exploration and visualisation technologies are helping to tease out insights from the data. These techniques can help to pick out important relationships within the data, reveal segments of interesting behaviour and point towards the true value in these data sets. The biggest challenge is linking the new data to existing sources and into existing business processes. But just how much insight can and should be used is a highly contentious issue.
Big Data is expanding at a faster pace than the regulatory and compliance framework surrounding it. There are some big questions to be resolved: do we all understand the uses to which this data will be put, do the permission clauses we sign really deliver informed consent, and will the data be stored in a jurisdiction with an open and transparent compliance regime? Are we as a society happy that a collections department could, for example, locate a debtor via their internet activity? Do we really want to see satellite images of our homes that show more detail than they do today? Some people believe that this is intrusive and that this area should be more tightly regulated. Regardless of which side of the argument you stand, the debate around this issue will continue.
To keep up with Big Data businesses will need to make sense of the information and the issues surrounding the data sooner rather than later. As people's use of digital devices and the online space increases, Big Data is going to keep getting bigger. Failure to re-think how this information is managed and analysed could be costly – and not just in a technological sense.
In an increasingly time-poor society, consumers are demanding more personalised services that are available more quickly. When a customer is contacted by a business – whether for marketing, account information or collections purposes – they expect businesses to know who they are, what their product holdings are and their full history. Big Data offers can help you get there, but it needs to be done in a way that is transparent to society and at a pace that society is happy to accept. However, if managed sensitively and imaginatively, Big Data has significant benefits. Those with the ability to extract meaning from their data as it continues to grow will be in the best position to harvest these rewards.

Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!
Brown. Smith. Johnson. Somewhere along the way, almost all of us have an ancestor(s) with a name so common, the task of finding just the right people seems next to impossible. In my case, it's my HILL line.
My father's mother, Ida, was the daughter of Irish-American grocer William B. Hill (~1841-?) and his wife, Martha (aka Mattie; ~1847-?), who raised their family in Philadelphia. According to census records, William was born in Ireland, and Martha's parents were born there as well. I have not found Martha's maiden name yet.
William and Martha had seven children total, five of whom were still living by 1910, when Martha was listed in the U.S. census of that year as 62 and widowed (still in Philly). Her daughters Anna (1872-?) and Elizabeth (1874-?), both public school teachers, were still living with her, as was her son, Joseph (an inspector at a glass factory). These three siblings were in their 30s at that time. Interesting side note: on the back of Anna's photo, her name is written along with a street address that now appears to be part of the campus of Temple University — I will need to investigate if she was a student there or if perhaps the university has acquired the property since.
I have not been able to trace William B. Hill back any further from his time in Philadelphia with his wife and children. I don't know when or where he arrived from Ireland. I have not found his exact death date yet. I haven't figured out who the fifth surviving Hill sibling was or when the other two siblings passed away and why. It's not that I've tried and failed to find this information. Since Hill is such a common name though, I've been putting off delving into this line. It just seems so daunting to me. Writing today's post, however, caused me to jump on in and I hope to report back that I've found some good leads in the coming weeks.

Explainer: How science measures up cats and dogs
That cats and dogs have the wherewithal to set aside their differences and join forces to thwart a rogue feline's attempt at world domination is, obviously, the stuff of a plotline for a Hollywood movie with blockbuster dreams. But Kitty and Fido do have an impressive real-world skill set, don't they?
As "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" hits the big screen, click ahead to find out what science has to say about the intelligence and abilities of our favorite household pets.
Dogs as smart as toddlers
Parents of 2-year olds might want to keep their enthusiasm over their toddlers' intellectual prowess in check. Turns out, they're likely no smarter than the average dog, according to a series of intelligence tests run by canine researcher Stanley Coren at the University of British Columbia.
A language development test, for example, reveals that the average dog can learn about 165 words, similar to the capacity of a 2-year old child.
In a math test where researchers lowered treats one at a time behind a screen, dogs were bewildered when the screen was lifted and the number of treats they correctly counted weren't there because the researcher deliberately swiped one or added an extra. This suggests the dogs grasp basic arithmetic.
Dogs can sniff out cancers
Cancers, apparently, have a smell that dogs can be trained to detect, according to a growing body of research that could put dogs in doctors' chairs to help their human counterparts detect and verify diagnoses of disease.
Small trials have shown canines capable of detecting melanoma on a person's skin and lung and breast cancers by chemical cues in a person's breath. The trick, according to Auburn University veterinarian Larry Myers, is the ability of dogs to smell multiple layers of chemicals.
Cats hunt less efficiently than dogs
Cats are widely known as stealthy hunters, able to sneak up within pouncing distance of their prey before launching a lethal attack. This capability, however, comes at a cost to energy efficiency, according to Daniel Schmitt, an evolutionary anthropologist at Duke University.
The biomechanics of the dog gait, for example, enables them to reduce muscular effort required to move forward by 70 percent. The cat gait efficiency gains max out at 37 percent and drops precipitously in a stalking posture.
"Most scientists think that energetic efficiency is the currency of natural selection. Here we've shown that some animals make compromises when they have to choose between competing demands," Schmitt said in a news release about the findings.
Cats can't talk, but push our buttons
Domesticated cats probably don't have a language of their own, but their meows certainly do get people's attention, according to scholar and historical novelist Nicholas Nicastro, who did his dissertation research for a Ph.D. in psychology at Cornell University on cat vocalizations.
"Cats have become very skilled at managing humans to get what they want — basically food, shelter and a little human affection," he said in a 2002 news release about his research.
He found that urgent cat calls — the "feed me now" type calls — are longer and more energetic than the shorter, more pleasant calls a cat may make when trying to get picked out from a litter at an animal shelter, for example.
Cat owners more educated than dog owners
If the debate over cat vs. dog intelligence seems better articulated by cat owners, there's a reason: Cat owners are more likely to have university degrees than dog owners, according to researchers at the University of Bristol.
Jane Murray, who led the study, said the association is likely due to the fact that degree holders tend to work long hours, which limits the time they have available for pet care. Cats are less needy than dogs, she noted, content to snooze away the day on a sunny windowsill while their owners toil behind office desks.
Vicki Myron, who wrote "Dewey, The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World," holds her cat Page in this image.
Cat brain: The future of computing?
Computer engineer Wei Lu at the University of Michigan is hard at work developing the computer of the future. He hopes to make it as smart as a cat.
"The cat brain sets a realistic goal because it is much simpler than a human brain but still extremely difficult to replicate in complexity and efficiency," he has said.
His work is based on devices he calls "memristors" that remember the past voltages it was they were exposed to and functions like a biological synapse, which connect brain cells or neurons together.
Cat earns high school diploma
Jay Jay, the Iams-trained show cat illustrating his computer skills in this image, might want take a lesson from Oreo C. Collins, a cat from Macon, Ga., who successfully earned a "high school diploma" from Jefferson High School Online.
Oreo's owner, Kelvin Collins, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Central Georgia, admits he might have helped the cat take the test and write the life-experience essay required for graduation, but said Oreo was on his lap the whole time.
"Oreo's a really smart cat," Collins said in a telephone interview with msnbc.com reporter Helen A.S. Popkin last summer. His intellectual achievement, however, is meant to highlight fraud in online degree programs. A real General Educational Development (GED) diploma requires in-person test taking.
Cats and dogs can get along
Cats and dogs really can get along to the point that they'll play hard together, drink water from the same bowl, and cuddle on the couch, according to research led by Joseph Terkel at Tel Aviv University. The recipe for success, he found, is to adopt the cat first and introduce a dog while both pets are still young.
In homes where the cat and dog are mates, the research suggests they've managed to correctly read each other's body cues. A cat's thrashing tail, for example, signifies anger. Happy dogs wag their tails.
"We found that cats and dogs are learning how to talk each other's language," Terkel said. "It was a surprise that cats can learn how to talk 'Dog' and vice versa."

Hayward scores 27 to lift Jazz over Mavericks
Send a link to a friend
[January 08, 2013]
(AP) -- Gordon Hayward scored a season-high 27 points, including four 3-pointers, and the Utah Jazz defeated the Dallas Mavericks 100-94 on Monday night.
Alec Burks added a season-high 13, including eight in the fourth quarter when Utah held Dallas (13-22) to 14 points on 5-of-16 shooting.
Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavs with 20 points. He had six straight late, but also was called for a charge with 32 seconds remaining as he tried to get Dallas within two.
The Jazz made 4 of 6 free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
Al Jefferson added 15 points and 11 rebounds for Utah (18-18), which has won both meetings with Dallas this season.
The Mavs (13-22) have lost three straight and 12 of their last 14.
Dallas led by as many as eight points late in the third quarter after a 3-pointer by Nowitzki, but the Jazz fought back.
Burks' 3-pointer tied the score at 86 with 4:35 remaining, and Hayward's spinning layup after he stole the ball from Nowitzki gave Utah an 88-86 lead.
Al Jefferson then went at Elton Brand and got the call with 2:54 left and a technical on Brand. The Jazz sank 2 of 3 free throws to bump their lead to 90-86.
Hayward's fourth 3-pointer made it a seven-point Utah lead.
Nowitzki got the Mavs within three points but that's as close as they got as O.J. Mayo came up empty on several late shots. He finished with 13 points but was just 5 of 14 shooting, including 1 of 8 from beyond the arc and 0-5 in the fourth.
The game was chippy in the final period, with Derrick Favors tangling with Nowitzki, and Jae Crowder fouling Burks hard.
Chris Kaman also seemingly awoke a sleeping giant when he was called for a flagrant foul after hooking Jefferson around the neck with 8:35 left in the third. It ignited Jefferson, who had just six points in the first half. He scored six straight during an 8-2 Utah run that gave the Jazz a 64-59 lead.
Dallas, however, closed on a 21-10 run to take an 80-74 lead into the fourth, with Vince Carter, Elton Brand and Nowitzki fueling the offense.
[to top of second column]
That offense disappeared in the fourth. Overall, it was a game of runs.
The Jazz opened the second quarter on a 13-3 run with back-to-back 3-pointers by Earl Watson and Hayward tying it at 27. And they closed it on a 13-7 run, Marvin Williams' 3-pointer at the buzzer tying the score at 53 heading into the break.
The Jazz were shooting just 31 percent at one point but made their final four shots in the second, including three 3-pointers.
Hayward had the hot hand, hitting 4 of 5 shots in the quarter, including all three 3-pointers. He had 18 points at halftime, five more than his season average.
Dallas led by seven, 26-19, after the first thanks to Kaman's 10-point quarter on 4-of-6 shooting. Kaman was shut out in the second half on 0-of-3 shooting.
Utah won the first meeting with Dallas on Halloween 113-94. The Mavs were without Nowitzki then. Now he is trying to shake off the rust after missing the first 27 games.
He expressed frustration after the previous loss, in overtime to New Orleans. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said before the game that is to be expected.
"The reason he's one of the top 12 players ever to play the game is that he has extremely high standards," Carlisle said. ".until he gets back to being 95,100 percent in terms of his conditioning, rhythm, all those sorts of things, everybody is going to have a polarizing response to our record, including him when asked questions about it. We got to keep going day to day and keep working on the things that help us improve as a basketball team."
Carlisle then half-jokingly likened himself to Colonel Sanders for his continued enthusiasm despite Dallas' woeful record.
"It took him decades to convince somebody his recipe would sell," Carlisle said. "I'm just as enthusiastic about these guys. There's a long way to go and we got to keep approaching it with that kind of enthusiasm. "

Orlando Bloom is coming forward and talking about his struggle with dyslexia in hopes of helping others.
"I always knew that I wasn't stupid," the actor told Access Hollywood on Wednesday at "The Child Mind Institute" lecture, part of the 2010 Adam Jeffrey Katz Memorial Lecture Series at The Rockefeller University in New York City. "I felt like I was a smart kid, I just struggled with aspects of, of getting educated."

U.S. & World
The 33-year-old actor offered up some words of encouragement for kids also struggling with dyslexia.
"You're part of a very special club and it's a gift and don't let anyone ever tell you that you're not good enough," he said. "Don't ever let anyone tell you that because you struggle with dyslexia that you're never going to make it in life, because it's simply not true."

The big screen star, who was diagnosed with the learning disability when he was 7, said intense preparation over the years has helped him overcome dyslexia, but admitted there are times when he still has problems.
"I auditioned for something recently and I keep kicking myself about it because I completely dropped the ball," he explained.
The actor did acknowledge that his striking good looks also haven't hurt his career in Hollywood.

The Coolie Trade
In 1861 Cuba was an important trading partner of the United States: third behind only England and France. (ChinaChina
During the period of the China Trade, when Mainers were sailing to ports in China, the Qing (or Ch'ing) Dynasty (1644-1911) was in power. The Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchus in northeastern China, and expanded to surrounding territories of Inner Asia, establishing the Empire of the Great Qing.Read more. was number five.) Cuba is close to the U. S., and it produced highly desirable products: sugar and molassesMolasses
A thick syrup produced during the sugar refining process.. For many years Cuban sugar growers had relied on Black slaves, but with the slave trade cut off, they turned to China for laborers.
By the late 1860s, about 150,000 Chinese cooliesCoolie
An unskilled laborer, working for very poor wages, usually from Asia. had sailed for Cuba. About 15% died en route.
Penobscot Marine Museum has a collection of papers of a Rockland captain, Thomas Pillsbury, who carried a full load of about 500 Chinese workers from Macao to Havana. The log of the coolie master on this voyage may be found on this website under Special Features, and a chapter with more background on the coolie trade is also included on this site.
There is some question about whether these Chinese men were forced or voluntary emigrants. In any case, Abraham Lincoln signed a law in 1862 forbidding American citizens to carry Chinese coolies in American ships.

The Trojan T
A Jade Among Jalopies Returns
Over the past generation it seems that every piece of hidden treasure has been discovered. Well, we're here to tell you that it's still out there.
In fact, a piece of bounty presented itself not once, but three times in the past decade. At one event it even caught the eye of a show-car collector, who dismissed it because of a detail. His racecar-trader buddy had his suspicions but never acted on them. Consequently, it went undiscovered.
What actually revealed the car was a $100 bet. Half a dozen years after the duo first saw it, the car showed up on an online auction. The collector remembered the detail but this time the trader bet on his hunch...and won.
As they soon found out, the T-bucket they bet on wasn't so anonymous; it was the Trojan, the late Harry Markiecki's show car and one of the upper Midwest's crown jewels.
Upon graduating Macomber High, a vocational school in Toledo, Harry hired on to Jim White Chevrolet. It gave him more than a steady income; "None of us ever had a real workshop," noted Jerry Halak, one of Harry's school mates. But with White's body shop at his disposal, his skills grew. "He built a '40 coupe about that time," John said. "It was basically stock, but he'd done some stuff like V-butted the windshield. That was the first time I'd heard anybody do that, at least around here."
"He was like that," observed Barbara Markiecki-Hofmeister, Harry's widow. "If he could do it with his hands, he could build something great." Recounting the streets they lived on at the time, Barbara pinpointed the birth of the Trojan as 1956.
With those parts Harry built a car every bit as sophisticated as his contemporaries 2,300 miles to the west. Whether or not he copied it, the four-bar front suspension was similar to the one on Tommy Ivo's T. Just as Tommy Ivo and Norm Grabowski did, Harry welded plates inboard a V-8/60 tube axle's perch holes to serve as the bar mounts.
Like Tommy, Harry chose Nailhead power. The Dynaflow that came with it offered more than strength and convenience; it gave Harry the closed driveline necessary to use the '37-40 rear axle. Today we would argue that splitting the radius rods and mounting them to the chassis where they didn't operate on the same plane as the driveshaft pivot would cause the suspension to bind, but for the day the design was clever.
Rather than the '23-25 body, Harry used the more delicate-looking, low-hood '16-22. He too pushed the body back for more engine room, but instead of bobbing a bed he assembled bits and pieces-most obviously from the trunk of a '58 Thunderbird and the hood of a '59 Chevy-to fashion a stylish and modern-looking turtle-deck and fenders. "This was before plastic body fillers, John recalled. "Harry used to put extra strips of lead in his lunchbox and hope that the lunchbox wouldn't break when he walked through the door to go home!"
Bob Hogg at Seaport Automotive sprayed the car what the December '61 Hot Rod article referred to as '57 Pontiac Limefire Poly with a tinge of flake. Denzell Top Shop trimmed the cockpit and the rakish top, the latter another hallmark of the T-bucket movement. John laid out a flame pattern reminiscent of the one Dean Jeffries did on Grabowski's car, only with a sprayed-fade and wispier licks. Finally, the bucket was christened the Trojan. "Nope, we never knew why Harry named it that, but we always joked about it," Jerry revealed. "He already had a couple of kids when he finished that car, so it might not take much imagination."
About the time Harry started on his T, he and a few other guys founded one of the region's most notable car clubs, the Pharaohs. "It was one of the first NHRA-chartered clubs this side of the Mississippi," John Cassaubon proclaimed. "We had a Barris car and two Clarkaiser (Ron Clark and Bob Kaiser) cars." Then there was Harry's. And it ruled."
"We went to the Nationals in Oklahoma City simply because Hot Rod magazine was going to be there," John noted.
"Barris wanted to hire Harry," Jerry remembered. "He was looking at his workmanship and his abilities."
"That was quite an accomplishment in those days," John revealed. "If you lived east of the Mississippi you were really lucky to get any recognition; the big west coast magazine guys hardly ever came out this far."
Barbara guessed that Harry sold the Trojan prior to 1965, the year they moved into their new house. Nobody remembers to whom he sold the car. Later photos of the car show a Jimmy blower, a horizontal tube grille, chromed wheels with reversed rims and false knockoffs. Color snapshots indicate candy-apple red paint without flames. From there the car seemingly fell off the planet.
Fast-forward 30 years and meet Mike Guffey (the racecar trader) and Mark Moriarty (the show-car collector). "Mark and I go to Auburn every year for the Kruse auction," Mike began. "I walked up on this T-bucket in the corral. Candy red, Nailhead Buick with a 4-71 and chrome-plated everything. I'm looking at it thinkin', 'This ain't your average bear. '"
As the story went, the seller bought the car that day. "He told me that the body was polyester (fiberglass)," Mike added. "Somehow-I can't remember what it was that I saw that made me come to the conclusion that it was a steel car." He called Mark to ask if he'd seen it. "'Yeah, I didn't even look at it,' he told me.
"About six or seven years later, Moriarity calls me up and tells me that the car's on eBay," Mike added.
Mark explained, "The card that was in front of the car when it was in Auburn said that it had an ultra-rare early Poli-Form plastic body, so I didn't think anything of it. It said that in the auction too but Mike kept saying it was a steel car."
"I bet Mark $100 that the car was steel," Mike said. "There was a Ford swap meet on in Columbus, so I told him to get an appointment and we'll drive by Cincinnati and take a look at that car. By this point we're going to see this car to win a bet, not whether or not I should buy it."
"Yeah, I lost a $100 on that one," Mark lamented. "He stuck a fridge magnet on it as soon as we got there. He starts saying 'This is something good; we don't know what it is yet, but it's good!' Mike put a deposit on it and they drove home. Once there, they went straight for the ISCA Showtime book. "There it was on page four. The Trojan," Mike declared, still giddy with the find.
Enter Ralph Whitworth. Among other things, Ralph owns the Flying A Garage in Winnemucca, Nevada. The Flying A, specifically Dave Bengochea, mechanic Ken Lutzow, and painter Parker Arrien, restores and maintains Ralph's cars-mostly early hot rods and drag racers. "In late 2005, we went to look at some old A/FX cars over at Mike Guffey's place in Indiana," Dave noted.
"The T was off in the corner, so I started digging around looking at it," Ralph added. "I dreamed myself to sleep about dragging Main in a T-bucket, and it would've looked like that." A deal was struck and the Trojan had a new caretaker once again.
After learning more of the car's history Ralph knew they had to get this thing done and take it back to Detroit. With some help from Moriarty they worked up a deal with the Detroit Autorama's promoter, to create the Sixties show car display at the 2009 show.
As it turns out, Harry and Barbara's son, Scott, Googles his dad's name every so often. Early in '09 he struck paydirt: his search directed him to the Autorama press release that announced the Trojan's return. A little more legwork put the family in touch with the Dave and Ralph.
"When I found out that his family members were still around and interested, it got me excited," Ralph said. "I think we built it more for them than for Detroit, ultimately."
Though a T is a small car, its revival was no small task. "It was in really bad shape," Dave noted. "It looked okay just sitting there, but when we took the body off the frame it literally just fell apart." Among other things, subsequent owners cobbled the pipes and hacked up the body. "It was so bad that the only thing keeping that body together were the five bolts that held it to the frame," he said. "We took it all down to bare metal again-every piece to nothing-and started over.
"After we got it all smoothed out and rust-free we painted the frame black. It was fun putting it back together after we got all the chrome back from Advanced Plating. Three of us actually built the car: me, Ken Lutzow, and Parker Arrien."
"Parker deserves a ton of credit," Ralph observed. "The way he took to this project was just amazing. I'd call and ask how things were coming and Dave would say, 'Parker's not happy so we're stripping the trunklid again.' So he was really the driver of certainly the paint work, which I'm really proud of."
"He's a young kid about 24," Dave added. "We'd all sand on it but we can't take the paint credit; it's all Parker."
According to Dave, the reunion went even better than expected. "Barbara, Harry's wife...she cried like three times the first time we met her in Detroit," he said. "She told us, 'I just can't believe it; you did it exactly like Harry did it. '"
But the restored Trojan is more than a great find or a beautiful car; it's a monument to a man. Harry died in 1977. He was 42-far too young.
Just seeing the car reportedly brings back long-forgotten memories. Among them, "I can't tell you how many oil pans we went through," Barbara mused. "We used it to drive around the neighborhood whenever the sun was shining.
"It was great," she said. "Those were probably the best years of our lives. We enjoyed everything."
DrivetrainThe 322ci Buick reportedly was a GMC commercial-truck engine that Harry equipped with higher compression pistons and sportier cam. Most recently Ken Lighthouse at Ken's Automotive Restoration cleaned it up with a .060-inch over-bore. Before Ken Lutzow buttoned it back together, the block and heads got ground, smoothed, and painted white just as it had been. Dave Bengochea recreated the once-open pipes (the originals got butchered for mufflers). Once again a Weiand Drag Star manifold with six Holley 94s threatens to foul every plug in the engine with one careless blip of the throttle. The Dynaflow's enclosed driveshaft made it an ideal match for the Ford banjo rear axle. Flying A rebuilt this one, and other than paint detail, a chromed pan and torque tube, and Harry's one-off shifter, this one's rock-stock.
Flying A chose the most popular version of Harry's car when it came to the rollers. The combo consists of 15x5 and 15x7 steel wheels with '55 Plymouth caps. The front wheels wear 5.60 BFGoodrich Silvertown tires. The rears wear recapped 27.75x8.5 slicks from Hurst Racing Tires.
Harry chose the first of the all-steel Ford bodies, the runabout with the low hood mount that lasted from '16 to '22. Other than shaving and channeling it the height of the chassis, he kept the body basically stock. The turtle deck, on the other hand, is entirely custom. Harry made it by grafting pieces of a '58 T-bird deck. He made the fenders from bits and pieces of a '59 Chevy hood. Originally the deck was solid, but at one point Harry gave it a lid and a very sophisticated sealing channel. Harry also filled and cut down a '32 passenger-car grille shell and insert. Bob Hogg at Seaport Automotive originally painted the car '57 Pontiac Limefire Green Poly with a touch of flake, but this time Parker Arrien at Flying A shot it and replicated John Cassaubon's flames. Dale Weber of Weber Graphics lettered and striped the car following the lines John Cassaubon laid down half a century prior. The headlights are Dietz-style 7-inch sealed-beam conversions, which are similar to, but larger than, the 5 1/2-inch tractor lights (probably Guide or Yankee) that Harry used. They sit on Lee's Tornado-style cast-aluminum stands. The taillights in the rear deck came from a '58 Chevrolet.
InteriorWorking with similar white vinyl, Dave Martinez replicated the trim job that Denzell's Top Shop originally did, right down-or is that up?-to the top cover. Harry likely used original black-face Stewart Warner gauges with the winged logo; however, Flying A used the company's later interpretations in white. Ken Lighthouse engine turned the aluminum panel behind those gauges. Harry originally chrome-plated the sole of one of his daughter's bronzed baby shoes and used it for a pedal; however, Flying A used a Moon pedal. Ken Lutzow wired the car.

History58 Elm Street, built in 1890, served for a time as the home for President and Mrs. Charles Hunt, the head of the teachers' college that preceded SUNY Oneonta and for whom the Hunt College Union is now named. At some point in the history of 58 Elm the house was divided into three apartments and remained a multiple family dwelling until 2006, when the Colletts bought and restored the house attempting to recapture its original grandeur. They added modern updates such as radiant heat, new wiring, plumbing, electricity, more than 54 windows and new bathrooms and lighting fixtures. Two kitchens were combined into one totally rebuilt eat-in-kitchen with a restaurant stove and other updates.
The house maintains original pocket doors, baseboards, oak moldings, brass, copper and glass doorknobs and plates. Most of its original oak woodwork was stripped and where needed was replaced by wood specially cut by Wightman's Lumber Company in Milford, New York. Wightman's also provided special tools to replace rosettes and scores of plinths. Every spindle in both banisters of the house was replaced as was the main banister after Wightman's was able to supply the 16-foot piece of oak.
The house is on three finished floors. The first is composed of a living room, music room, library with built in shelves and powder room, and walk in coat closet that separates the formal dining room from the entrance hall. The kitchen, which spans the width of the house is in the back. The second floor consists of four bedrooms, two currently used as studies. There is a guest bedroom next to a three-quarter bathroom, the master bedroom suite with walk-in closet, dressing room and full bathroom with a linen closet and washer and dryer. The third floor is a loft like space that is used as extra guest quarters and can be used as a studio. It has a large walk in closet and full bathroom.
The large brick structure was cleaned and pointed and the property paved and landscaped. Six hundred feet of asbestos was removed along with an oil-fired furnace when the house was converted to natural gas.
During the summer months, and in keeping with the 19th century historical flavor of the house, one can see an array of green awnings as you approach on Elm.
The house was awarded "Historic Property of Merit" in 2008 by the City of Oneonta.

Under suspicion: Research and consultation report on racial profiling in Ontario
May 3, 2017 - During the consultation, we heard many perspectives and experiences. We heard concerns about racialized and Indigenous peoples being subjected to unwarranted surveillance, investigation and other forms of scrutiny, punitive actions and heavy-handed treatment. We also tried to explore other, less well-understood forms of racial profiling, which may be systemic in nature. This report presents what we learned about institutional policies, practices, prediction and assessment tools, and decision-making processes, which may seem neutral but may nonetheless amount to systemic racial profiling.
