Homage to Visionary de Varon
by Michael Johnson
October 12, 2019 October 12, 2019 by Michael Johnson
Jordan Hall rang out last night with personal tributes and the favorite airs of Lorna Cooke de Varon, the renowned NEC choral conductor, one year after her death at 97; many admirers, NEC alumni and her family were in attendance.
The highly varied program, reflecting De Varon's catholic tastes, began with a rousing singalong of the Haydn choral work "The Heavens are Telling". The entire audience stood and performed well in four-part harmony, reading from scores distributed beforehand.
The show swung from religious texts to fun music such as modern jazz and Carol Barnett's Gloria from The World Believed: a Bluegrass Mass, Bruckner's "Christus factus est", Randall Thompson's "Choose Something Like a Star" and Aaron Copland's "The Promise of Living". A jazz combo came and went.
Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time violin was one of De Varon's favorite compositions. Nearly an hour long in its full version, it has achieved mythic status for its origination in complete isolation in a German prison of war camp during World War II. Messiaen managed to assemble three other musicians from the prison population and, with minimal rehearsal time, performed the premiere for ragtag inmates and full-dress uniformed commandants. Messiaen played the piano part on an out-of-tune upright. [Click HERE for another take on that creation story]
Dramatically lit with a single spot, a single movement of the mournful Messiaen progressions, arranged for piano and violin, seemed to leave the audience riveted.
Family members took the stage in rotation with affectionate reminiscences and biographical highlights of De Varon's groundbreaking career. While an undergraduate at Wellesley College, she majored in music, then entered a graduate program at Harvard and worked as an assistant conductor for the Radcliffe Choral Society under G. Wallace Woodworth, the director of the Harvard Glee Club.
She is admired as the founder of the NEC choral activities in 1947 and a trend-setter that paved the way for female conductors in classical music. She remained at NEC for 41 years, bringing her choral groups to international attention. Several recorded performances with the Boston Symphony Orchestra were award-winners.
Following retirement, a concept she always rejected, she remained at NEC to direct the alumni Conservatory Camerata. She continued to serve as conductor of the Longy Chamber Singers at the Longy School of Music until 2005 and worked with the Longy De Varonistas.
Her admiring students referred to her as "Mrs. D" and friends sometimes called her "Cookie".
Michael Johnson is a former Moscow correspondent who has written on music for the International New York Times, Clavier Companion, and other publications. He divides his time between Bordeaux and Brookline.

Skill Up Skillet also received a favorable review from Jason of Opinionated Man. You can read his review HERE.
We also teamed up with Nichole of CuppaGeek for a couple of Halloween-y fandom tea reviews. Nichole does not disappoint! Check out her review of Walking Dead fandom tea Kiss My Crossbow and a Nightmare Before Christmas inspired Pumpkin King Tea.
Without further ado, on to the first Skill Up Skillet Halloween Round Up!
We're Gonna Need a Bigger Shelf: The Starlight Blogger Award!
Believe it or not, I actually keep a schedule for my blog. I attend Linky Parties and the WP Community Pool on Mondays, promote and create recipes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, post and manage social media stuff on Thursdays (which usually carries over to Fridays), attend more Linky Parties and promote on Fridays, then take Saturday and Sunday to rest. Rest. HA! The hell is that, anyway? This is significant because, when I see a new email notification for a blog comment or message over the weekend, well, it's a good day. And sometimes I'm even surprised with a new award nomination. Today I'd like to share with you my fifth award nomination.
I present to you: The Starlight Blogger Award!
I was nominated for this award by Fabiola of My Heart of Mexico just the other day. Since it's no longer September From Hell I was happy to accept the award immediately. Thanks Fabiola! Fabiola writes an authentic Mexican cooking blog sprinkled with articles chronicling life in Mexico. Reading through her blog is an eye-opening experience which is not to be missed! Again, my thanks to you.
Vote for November's Featured Recipe NOW!
It's about that time again, geeks. Time to vote! And no, I don't mean casting a ballot for the lesser of two evils to run a country or some equally depressing thing; I'm talking about voting for November's Featured Recipe on Skill Up Skillet! Are you feeling some Legend of Zelda? I'm feeling some Legend of Zelda.
Like last time, I'm giving you three choices: Chocolate Peanut Butter Deku Nuts, Deku Shield Brownies, or Bombchu Lemon Bars. They all sound pretty amazing, right? Voting will be held starting today through the month of October. You can vote once a week, so make it count, yeah? Tell all your friends! Try to rig the vote! I want to see as many votes cast as possible.
STAY TUNED FOR A MONTH-LONG NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS TEA PARTY COLLABORATION WITH NICHOLE OF CUPPAGEEK!
Remember, cooking IRL doesn't have to be a Feat of Strength!
Stop The Presses: The Blogger Recognition Award!
From L to R: Great Ball, Master Ball, Ultra Ball. If you enjoy living and wish to attempt this, decorate with icing only. Candy Melts on top of more Candy Melts are the devil.
I was nominated at the end of August by blogger Yen of Little Calico's Journal. Thanks, Yen! Yen writes book reviews, poetry… a little bit of everything, really. I love her writing style. Stop by for a visit, maybe you'll like her too. I swore I'd get around to writing this eventually; now seemed like a good time. Ready? Let's go.
Need some extra exposure for your blog? Who doesn't! Go see Danny over at Dream Big Dream Often for a little hand up. Cheers!
Today as is my usual routine on Meet and Greet weekends, I will be reblogging posts. Please leave the link to your post in the comments and I will review for family-friendly content and then reblog.
If you leave a link please reblog this post as a "thank you" to Dream Big. It is appreciated!
Hope everyone has a great Friday.
Because I got an unacceptably late start on today's cake, you're getting the Q&A sesh now. So, hi. I'm Leisel, creator of the geeky food blog Skill Up Skillet, and today I am 26 years old. In last week's post I gave you, Probably Impatient Reader, the opportunity to ask me questions about gaming, baking, blogging, whatever. Some of the questions are surprising, to say the least! So while I'm waiting on the first part of the whipped cream frosting to cool, let's do this.
Obligatory Birthday Selfie, or Something Like That.
Yes, that is a skull print dress. No, I do not care what you think about my skull print dress.
A: That's almost impossibly hard to answer. Can we do a top 5? Is that a thing? In no particular order: Skyrim (PS/PC), Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega), World of Warcraft (PC), Hearthstone (PC/mobile), and Twisted Metal 3 (PS). I don't do XBox, personally.
A: My all time favorite food would be sushi. Just about any kind, really. I rarely meet seafood I don't like. Not too keen on the giant caviar rolls, though – too salty! A close second would be tiramisu.
Q: What is your favorite or least favorite sleeping position?
A: I prefer to sleep on my side, slightly curled, back-to-back with The Boy. I hate sleeping on my back.
Q: How do you decide which ingredients and method you will use in each recipe? I mean, how do you decide between marshmallows or cake for a minion?
A: Sometimes it's pretty self explanatory (like an actual omelette for the Omelette du Fromage or working off the IndieBox recipe card for the World's Best Enchiladas). Other times try to take what feels right and work with it. I like to refer to the process as "Organic Steps". Like, Ryuk (the shinigami) from Death Note loves apples, so Death Note Apples were an easy evolution of this idea. It's harder to explain the ones that seem to come from left field but I do a lot of daydreaming and a little research a la Google. Sometimes Pinterest is useful, but for the most part I just don't get it. The Boy and I also collaborate on what will and what won't work. That's prevented a few catastrophes.
There are those few fan requests, too, like Half-Life Headcrab Crab Cakes and Toad Bombe Cakes.
The Minion Trifle was an ever changing idea from the start. It was going to be one giant trifle because it was going to a party but the marshmallow eyes were a last minute hunch. They were originally going to be made from white Candy Melts on the side of the dish, but they looked small and awkward. I also considered cutting the marshmallows in half and sticking them in the yellow part of the trifle but ultimately ruled it out because I didn't want anything to make them look messy. In the end I just decorated two marshmallows and plunked them on top. It just felt right, y'know? Whew.
Q: When you make these recipes how easy is it to substitute certain ingredients? Like say I'm not a yellow cake fan, could I substitute it for say red velvet with out worrying about it turning out properly?
A: Sometimes there can be a bit of leeway with ingredients; other times, no. If you check out the comments for the HP Snitches, there was a lot of substitution conversation due to lack of availability for certain ingredients. Where there's a will, there's a way. All it takes is a little research and human ingenuity. I'm not touching that red velvet/ yellow cake substitution idea, though. Unfortunately, some things just aren't going to work and in this case color's too much of a factor. You could substitute white cake and add yellow coloring, though.
Q: Though this isn't so much a question as it is a request: mention one lil' confession on your birthday post!
A: 70% of what you see here is me having no clue whatsoever, but doing it anyway. Crab cakes? Well, I know how to reheat fish sticks. Fondant? How hard can it be? Chocolate and candy designs? That's what sandwich bags and molds are for, right? It's been a blast learning new things and I'm excited for what I have planned for the future.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have whipped cream frosting to put together! See you in the next post.


World Health Day 2019 was observed worldwide on 7th April 2019 with the theme "Universal health coverage".
The theme Universal health coverage seeks to ensure that everyone can obtain the care they need, when they need it, right in the heart of the community.
The World Health Day is celebrated on April 7th, 1948 to commemorate the establishment of WHO which came into being to address vital health care issues.
WHO is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.


Hurrah for Sean Hannity! Welcome to the fight against the pod people!
It's a win-win all around as K-cup users on both sides of the political divide find reasons to smash their Keurigs.
It's such wonderful news. Everyone says that the USA is riven in two, totally polarized. A "journalist" on the Daily Caller, claims that "the left has defined environmentalism in a way that is counter to freedom, conservation, and science." But thanks to a guy named Sean Hannity who apparently is not a leftie environmentalist (I'm Canadian and we don't get Fox News so I have never seen him, my apologies), people are finally getting rid of their Keurig coffee makers!
Collin here is setting an example by throwing his Keurig off a building. Now I am a liberal but I have to say, Collin, I am not the least bit offended! I do wish that you had recycled it but hey, you are doing the right thing and we are not going to argue. We have been saying for years that coffee pods are a waste of money, they are piling up in landfills, that they are lying when they say they are recyclable and they make lousy coffee. I have called them a design for unsustainability.
They even have their own horror movie. The pod people have been doing something right, convincing millions of Americans to pay forty bucks a pound for second-rate coffee. But finally, thanks to Sean Hannity and his followers, environmentalism is a bipartisan issue!
Oops, sorry, "I apologize for any negativity you have experienced as a result of this situation." Sounds to me like people on both sides of the political divide will be smashing Keurigs now. A win-win for the environment!

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) -- In an effort to revive an over two-decade-old cold case homicide of a newborn, the NYPD released a new sketch of the baby on Tuesday that they hope will lead to new clues in the investigation.
The infant girl was found on Monday, November 8th, 1993 in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
She was located at approximately 8:30 a.m. in the courtyard of 346 Montgomery Street inside a trash bag and with a dish towel tied around her neck.

Q: Markov chain ( Absorption) I have just started learning Markov chain and I am clueless about how to solve this problem
A man rolls a boulder up a 40 meter-high hill. Each minute, with probability 1/3 he manages to roll the boulder 1 meter up, while with probability 2/3 the boulder rolls 1 meter down. If the man is currently half-way towards the summit, what is the probability that he will reach the summit before
descending to the foothills?

A: It would be overkill to solve this problem using Markov Chain theory: but the underlying concepts will help you frame it an a way that admits a simple solution.
Formulating the problem
The most fundamental concept is that of a state: we may model this situation in terms of 41 distinct positions, or "states," situated at one-meter height intervals from the bottom (height -40) to the top (height 0) of the hill.  The current state, halfway up the hill, is a height of -20.
The second fundamental concept is that of independence from past events: the chance of what happens next depends only on the state, not on any details of how the man got there.  Consequently, the chance of reaching the summit depends only on the state.  Accordingly, if we write $s$ for a state, the chance of reaching the summit can be simply written $p(s).$  We are asked to find $p(-20).$
From any state $s$ between $-40$ and $0$ there is a $1/3$ chance that $s+1$ will be the next state and a $2/3$ chance that $s-1$ will be the next state.  The most basic laws of conditional probability then imply
$$p(s) = (1/3)p(s+1) + (2/3)p(s-1) = \frac{p(s+1)+2p(s-1)}{3}.\tag{*}$$
The final step of formulating the problem treats the endpoints, or "absorbing states" $s=0$ and $s=-40.$  It should be clear that
$$p(0)=1;\ p(-40)=0.\tag{**}$$
Analysis
At this point the work may look formidable: who wants to solve a sequence of 40 equations?  A nice solution method combines all the equations into a single mathematical object.  But before we proceed, allow me to remark that you don't need to follow this analysis: it will suffice to check that the final formula (highlighted below) satisfies all the conditions established by the problem -- and this is just a matter of simple algebra.
At this juncture it is helpful to solve the general problem.  Let's suppose there is a sequence of states $s=0,1,2,\ldots, n$ and that each state $s$ between $1$ and $n-1$ transitions to $s-1$ with probability $p$ and to $s+1$ with probability $1-p.$  For all $s$ let $a_s$ be the chance of arriving at state $0$ before hitting state $n.$  (I have dropped the previous "$p(-s)$" notation because it leads to too many p's and I have switched from indexing states with negative numbers to indexing them with positive numbers.)
As we have seen, $a_0=1,$ $a_n=0,$ and otherwise $a_{s} = pa_{s-1} + (1-p)a_{s+1}$ (the "recurrence relation"). This set of equations is neatly encoded by a polynomial
$$P(t) = a_0 + a_1 t + a_2 t^2 + \cdots + a_n t^n  = a_0 + \sum_{s=1}^{n} a_s t^s.$$
Plugging in the recurrence relation and then collecting common powers of $t$ (writing $a_{n+1}=0$ for convenience) gives
$$\begin{aligned}
P(t) &= a_0 + \sum_{s=1}^n \left[pa_{s-1} + (1-p)a_{s+1}\right]t^s \\
&= a_0 + p\sum_{s=1}^n a_{s-1} t^s + (1-p)\sum_{s=1}^n a_{s+1}t^s\\
&= a_0 + pt\sum_{s=1}^n a_{s-1} t^{s-1} + \frac{1-p}{t}\sum_{s=1}^n a_{s+1}t^{s+1}\\
&= a_0 + pt\sum_{s=0}^{n-1} a_{s} t^{s} + \frac{1-p}{t}\sum_{s=2}^{n+1} a_{s}t^{s}\\
&= a_0 + pt(P(t) - a_nt^n) + \frac{1-p}{t}(P(t) - a_0 - a_1t)
\end{aligned}$$
This is a single equation for the polynomial $P$ (at least up to $t^n;$ I will ignore any coefficients of $t^n$ or higher powers that might be needed to make the equation work out exactly.)  Simplify this equation a little using the initial condition $a_0=1$ and solve for $P$ to get
$$P(t) = \frac{(1-p) + (-1 + (1-p)a_1)t}{pt^2 - t + (1-p)}.$$
Now every coefficient of $P$ can be expressed in terms of the (still unknown) number $a_1.$  The value of $a_1$ is determined by the final condition $a_n=0.$
A closed formula is possible by expanding the right hand side as a partial fraction.  It comes down to observing
$$\frac{1}{pt^2 - t + (1-p)} = \frac{1}{1-2p}\left(\frac{1}{1-t} - \frac{\lambda}{1 - \lambda t}\right)$$
and expanding the fractions as sums of geometric series, both of which are in the form
$$\frac{\rho}{1 - \rho t} = \rho + \rho^2 t + \rho^3 t^2 + \cdots$$
and multiplying that by the numerator $(1-p) + (-1 + (1-p)a_1)t$ to obtain $P(t).$  This gives a closed formula for every term in $P(t)$ as a function of $a_1.$
For $p\ne 1/2$ and writing $\lambda = p/(1-p)$ this approach gives the general result

$$a_s = \frac{\lambda^s - \lambda^n}{1 - \lambda^n}$$

for $s=1, 2, \ldots, n$ (and this happens to work for $s=0,$ too).  (When $p=1/2,$ $\lambda=1$ makes this formula undefined.  You can easily figure it out a simple formula, though, by taking the limit of $a_s$ as $\lambda\to 1$ using a single application of L'Hopital's Rule.)
As a check, it is clear this formula gives $a_0=1$ and $a_n=0.$  It remains to verify it satisfies the recurrence relation, but that's a matter of showing
$$\frac{\lambda^s - \lambda^n}{1 - \lambda^n} = a_s = pa_{s-1} + (1-p)a_{s+1} = p\frac{\lambda^{s-1} - \lambda^n}{1 - \lambda^n} + (1-p)\frac{\lambda^{s+1} - \lambda^n}{1 - \lambda^n},$$
which is straightforward.
Application
In the given problem $n=40,$ $p=1/3,$ and we are asked to find $a_{20}.$  Consequently $\lambda = (1/3)\,/\,(1-1/3) = 1/2$ and
$$a_{20} = \frac{2^{-20} - 2^{-40}}{1 - 2^{-40}} = 2^{-20} - 2^{-40} + 2^{-60} - 2^{-80} + \cdots.$$
The expansion on the right hand side can be terminated after the first two terms when computing in double precision floating point (which has a precision of $52$ binary places), giving
$$a_{20} \approx 2^{-20} - 2^{-40} \approx  9.53673406911546\times 10^{-7};$$
a little less than one in a million.

A: Imagine that the hill-climbing journey consists of 41 states, one for each meter possible, so states 0, 1, 3, ...., 40. The transition probability matrix then becomes a 41x41 matrix, representing the different probabilities of going from one state to another. It looks like the following:
   0    1    2    --    40
0  0    1    0    --     0
1 2/3   0   1/3   --     0
2  0   2/3   0    --     0
|  |    |    |    --     |
|  |    |    |    --     |
40 0    0    0    --     0

Let's call this matrix P. If we start at 20 meters, with other words at state 20, we can represent this as a vector (41 elements long) with the probabilities of starting in each state, called u, u=[0,0, ... , 0, 1, 0 ... 0, 0], where the 1 represent a 100% probability of starting at 20 meters.
The matrix multiplication, u*P, then becomes the probabilities of ending up in all other states at timestep t+1. If we continue to do this matrix multiplication over and over again, u*P^t, where t goes towards infinity, we will reach a steady state matrix P*.  This steady state matrix represents the probabilities of ending up in all other states.
So in your case, you would do this matrix multiplication in a programming language of your choice many times (eg. 100+), and you would simply look up P[20,40], which would give you the probability of starting at 20 meters and making it all the way atop the hill!

Coronation Street Weekly Update - Christmas and New Year 2007/8
Happy New Year greetings from the first weekly update of 2008. This update is a bit of a bumper edition covering two weeks. It takes in Christmas 2007 and welcomes 2008. I hope everyone reading this had a good Christmas and New Year and it's with a fresh start and a new fluffy pair of slippers that we head into a new year with the first of 2008's weekly Corrie updates. And so, without any further ado, here we go with this week's, and last week's, Coronation Street update.
There were three huge storylines running across the last two weeks and I'll deal with these in the order they happened, because I like to keep things neat and tidy here in the weekly update office. And so ladies, and gentlemen, who like this sort of thing, hang onto your hats as the weekly update brings you Commando Sam the stripper from Liz McDonald's hen night in the Rovers Return. He was butch, big and black and might have had his boyfriend waiting for him in the back room of the pub but Commando Sam had the Street's women in thrall. As Liz straddled the stripper, Vernon went off with the stags of the Street – er, Dev, Steve and Bill, for a night of Northern Soul at Rochdale Town Hall. And throughout all the wedding planning, the stag and hen shenanigans was Jim McDonald, lurking and biding his time, so he was, hoping to get back into Elizabeth's good books and under her duvet. And he almost succeeded, almost. Confused about her feelings for her fellas, Liz was ready to call off the wedding to Vern and sent Deirdre ahead to the Register Office to tell everyone to go home. As Deirdre took on the task, Liz bumped into Jim in the back yard at the pub and all hell broke loose. Vernon overhead Jim telling Liz he wanted her back and still considered her to be his missus so he rushed outside to find out what was going on. And that, my friends, was Vernon's mistake number one. Mistake number two was for Vernon's wedding outfit to be white, yes all white, for white showed up the blood and gristle that Jim smashed out of Vernon's skull when he gave him what for, as you knew he would the minute he set foot back on the Street. Not only did Jim beat up the groom, he also knocked out Bob the best man and did for Dev too. With a bloodied Vernon in her arms, Liz's pity for the poor bloke changed her mind and she decided to go through with the wedding after all and told Steve to stop Deirdre from calling it all off. But she already had and the guests were ready to leave, full of gossip and wonder as to what had gone on. Steve turned up and ushered everyone back inside for the ceremony which left poor Deirdre's head spinning, she didn't know what was happening - and neither did Liz. With Vernon covered in blood and Liz in a right state, the pair of them were pronounced Mr and Mrs Tomlin as the newlyweds headed back to the Rovers to celebrate with champagne before the Street regulars celebrated the New Year with champagne and 250 vol-au-vents, made by Betty's fair hands.
And so, as one couple tied the knot and Elizabeth Jane McDonald married feckless Vern, another Street regular set off for pastures new. Yes, this was the week when Sarah-Lou-Platt-Grimshaw left her newly wed husband for a new life overseas. Jason was ready to leave the Street with Sarah until she admitted she'd planted drugs on David. David had already tried to warn Jason about Sarah: "I'm telling you this," David told Jason, "because you're too thick to see it coming." And so Jason let Sarah leave with Bethany as mother and daughter boarded the train (Engine No 323225) to Manchester airport to fly to Milan to start their new life. Back on the Street it didn't take much to cheer up Jason when Becky started flirting. And as the twelve bells struck on New Years Eve, Becky had a smile on her face, a bottle of champagne in one hand and Jason Grimshaw in t'other. Gratuitous picture of Jason Grimshaw below.
Now then, as if all of the above wasn't enough excitement for one update, there's plenty more to come. Let's just do a quick rewind to Christmas Day (I know I said I'd do the big stories in order, but I lied) and see what's going on in the Webster house. I'd been looking forward to this storyline ending for a long time, primarily so that it's over and done with but also because the climax of it all was hyped as the Christmas day Corrie treat. Did it work as well as I hoped? Well, sort of. What did you make of it all? First off, Rosie demanded to see John on Christmas Day so he lied to Fiz that he needed to pop out to buy some nutmeg.
Nutmeg? No-one buys nutmeg! (repeat ad infinitum every time someone mentioned John's seasonal shopping habits). Well, it wasn't nutmeg he was after but something more spicy and he handed Rosie her Christmas present in his little car. Rosie's face dropped when she opened up the parcel to reveal a pair of Fiz-sized flannelette pyjamas - but John was more shocked. If Rosie had the jim-jams, then that meant Fiz had Rosie's frillies! John raced back to the flat to see Fiz but she'd already stormed over to the Webster house after opening the scanty panties, assuming John had bought them for Sal. After a stand-off over the sprouts at the Webster Christmas dinner, Sally convinced Fiz and Kev that she and John weren't having an affair and the frillies weren't for her. Just when it couldn't get any more confused, in walked Rosie with the pair of pyjamas in her hand and the penny dropped. And then it dropped again. A huge fight broke out (brilliant stuff!) and Sally slapped Rosie hard across the chops. Kev stormed out and beat up John on the cobbles, kicking him and doing him some serious harm. As Fiz stood and watched we shouted at the telly: "Kick him, Fiz! Kick him!" However, Kev's kicking was so serious that he's up in court later this month for assault - but with a clean record and no previous convictions, he'll surely escape prison, won't he?
Anyway, elsewhere over the festive season in Weatherfield, Maria was feeling unsettled when she found out that Liam and robo-Carla had once shared a snog. Carla's doing her best to cause problems for LiaMaria and she's got Determined Look No. 15 on her face that makes me think she'll succeed. That woman's face runs the gamut of emotions all the way from A to B. (Thanks to Corriestreet for the picture).
Over at Roy's Rolls there was a Christmas dinner with a difference when Roy invited Becky, Chesney and Kirk to have dinner in the caff. In between murder games and turkey with stuffing, the phone in the caff kept on ringing, it was Hayely calling from t'other side of world in Africa, but she seemed destined never to speak to her soulmate. Every time Roy tried to answer the phone, something would stop him from making the connection with Hayley. But finally, at the end of the dinner when everyone had left, the phone rang and Roy answered. As he sat down to wish his beloved a very Merry Christmas, the lights in the café dimmed and the credits started to roll. And I think I'd had too much sweet sherry at that point, as my eyes filled with tears right then.
And that's just about that for the last two weeks. There were lots of lovely little touches that made the Christmas and New Year episodes so special and one of the best was Fiz in the Rovers on New Year's Eve. Drinking to get over what happened between her and John, she got very drunk indeed. "I'm ok," she told Marcus at the bar, "I've got a qually fullified medical professional next to me" and then she fell sideways to the floor in one of the best comic moments that Corrie's had in a long time.
See you next week. All the very best to you and yours for 2008.

I just finished watching the wedding episodes and i have to say they were fantastic. I've always thought Bev Callard and Charles Lawson have incredible chemistry and i could see it here again. Will she... won't she... Very good episode. I wonder if it's all going to end in tears or if she's going to settle down? I really liked how Steve was right in his father's face, too.
The wedding was the highlight of the whole Christmas/New Year episodes, for me. Sarah's leaving was rather disappointing I felt and she should have just stormed away rather than making a point of doing in David. Next highlight/lowlight will be Vera's leaving - better get the Kleenex box filled up for that one.

Forum Thread: How Can I Pull FB Page Posts Using Python?
I want to write a script that pulls certain page post when that scrpit is run or executed.
Maybe a mechanize module? I don't know that much but it is supposed to work as a browser or something.
You could use the requests module to pull the HTML code for that post down. You could then parse the HTML and you'd be left with the post in plaintext.
in addition to what Defalt said I've had a lot of success using beautiful soup for parsing raw html. you may also want to look into selenium.
I've been experimenting/messing with Beautifulsoup.

Cell Organelles (Animal and Plant)
By: Kate Latham
Cells are the fundamental units of life on Earth, and they are the building blocks that make up all other living things. Every cell contains a set of organelles; subcellular structures that are specially adapted to carry out the necessary functions of life.
Some organelles (including the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum) are found in virtually all eukaryotic cells. Others (like chloroplasts) are only found in certain cell types, such as plant cells and algae.
Animal cells contain numerous organelles (literally meaning 'little organs') to help them carry out the functions essential to their survival.
There are lots of types of animal cell organelles
The nucleus is a key structure in all eukaryotic cells, as it stores all of the cell's DNA (and therefore, genetic information). The nucleus also controls and regulates all the vital functions of the cell, including protein production, cell division, metabolism, and growth.
DNA molecules also contain the blueprints for every protein in an organism and must be carefully preserved to maintain successful protein production. The nucleus is, therefore, surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which protects the DNA by keeping it separate from the rest of the cell.
Mitochondria are often referred to as the 'powerhouses of the cell,' as they release the energy required to power all other cellular functions. These organelles are the site of respiration, a metabolic process in which glucose is broken down to release energy. The energy released by cellular respiration is used to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. ATP is the energy currency of cells and is used to fuel all other essential cellular processes.
Mitochondria are the site of respiration in cells
Ribosomes are 'protein factories' and are the site of protein production in cells. These organelles 'read' the instructions stored in DNA molecules and use these to assemble polypeptide chains (long chains of amino acids). These are then folded into the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures that allow the protein to fulfill its specific function.
The rough ER is so-named because its membrane is studded with ribosomes, giving it a 'rough' appearance. After these ribosomes have finished assembling a polypeptide chain, the protein is released into the lumen of the RER. Once inside, it is folded into a complex, 3D structure that is specific to the type of protein. The RER is also where proteins are 'tagged' for transport to the Golgi apparatus. 'Tagging' usually involves the addition of a carbohydrate molecule to the protein, in a process that is known as glycosylation.
The rough ER is studded with ribosomes
The main difference between the rough ER and the smooth ER is that the smooth ER does not have ribosomes attached to its surface. The smooth ER is not involved in protein synthesis; instead, it is the site of lipid and steroid production in the cell.
Newly synthesized proteins are sent to the Golgi apparatus after they leave the rough ER. The Golgi apparatus (a series of flattened, membrane-bound sacs) is like the 'mailroom' of the cell and packages new proteins into tiny, membrane-bound vesicles for distribution. Once packaged, the proteins are sent off to the outer cell membrane, where they either leave the cell or become part of the lipid bilayer.
The Golgi apparatus packages and distributes proteins
Some animal cells contain vacuoles, which are typically small organelles used to transport substances in and out of the cell. They are often used to contain and dispose of waste products.
Lysosomes are spherical organelles filled with digestive enzymes, and they have several functions within cells. They are used to break down old or surplus cell parts, destroy invading pathogens, and also play a key role in programmed cell death (AKA apoptosis).
Lysosomes digest old cell parts and invading pathogens
Peroxisomes are similar to lysosomes in that they are spherical organelles that contain digestive enzymes. However, unlike lysosomes (which primarily break down proteins), peroxisomes degrade fatty acids. This is a major source of metabolic energy for the cell, which can be used to fuel other cellular processes.
All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane (AKA the plasma membrane). In eukaryotic cells, cell membranes also surround each of the cell's organelles. This compartmentalizes the contents of the cell and keeps the vital (but incompatible) metabolic processes of different organelles separate.
The main function of the cell membrane is to create a physical barrier between the interior of the cell and the external environment. However, it also controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. The cell membrane consists of a semipermeable lipid bilayer that is studded with channels and receptors to allow certain molecules through. Therefore, the cell membrane helps to keep toxins out of the cell, while ensuring that valuable resources (such as nutrients) can enter. It also allows waste and metabolic products to leave the cell.
The cell membrane controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell
The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that fills up the spaces inside cells. It cushions and protects the organelles, and also gives cells their shape. The cytoplasm is composed of water, salts, and other molecules required for cellular processes.
Plant cells contain all of the same organelles as animal cells, including mitochondria, a nucleus, ribosomes, smooth and rough ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane. However, they also contain some subcellular structures that are absent in animal cells, such as chloroplasts, a vacuole, and a cell wall.
Plant cells contain a number of organelles not found in animal cells
Plant cells have one key function that animal cells don't, and that's food production. Plant cells can produce glucose via a process called photosynthesis, which takes place in organelles called chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts are filled with a green pigment called chlorophyll, whose function is to harvest light energy from the sun. This light energy is used to fuel photosynthesis, which converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Once the glucose has been synthesized, it is sent to the mitochondria. Here, it is used in cellular respiration to release energy, which the plant cell then uses to fuel its other vital processes.
Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes places
The vacuole is a large, sap-filled bubble found in plant cells. Unlike animal cell vacuoles (which are usually small and distributed throughout the cytoplasm) plant cell vacuoles are very large and may take up most of the interior space of the cell.
The plant cell vacuole has several functions. It helps to maintain the shape and turgidity of the plant cell, making it very important for structural support. The vacuole also stores water, nutrients, pigments, salts, minerals, proteins, and waste products. It contains many substances that are vital for the survival of the plant cell.
In the cells of flowers, the vacuole may also store the pigments that give petals their color. These can perform the dual function of attracting bees and other pollinators, while also giving the blooms a bitter taste that discourages insects and other animals from eating them.
All cells have a cell membrane, but plant cells also have a cell wall. This is a strong, sometimes flexible, but often rigid structure that is found outside of the cell membrane. Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, and their primary function is to protect the plant cell and provide structural support. The cell wall is also what gives plant cells their characteristic, rectangular or box-like shape.
The plant cell wall supports the structure of the cell

James Moore (c1718-c1798), Westward to Amelia County, 52 Ancestors #249
Posted on August 4, 2019 by Roberta Estes
James Moore was born between 1718 and 1721, but we don't know where. I've deduced his age, because we find him noted as exempt from taxes in both 1788 and 1791 in Halifax County and continuously thereafter until he disappears from the list in 1797. The age at that time to become exempt from paying tax was age 70, so he was clearly born by 1721 and perhaps as early as 1718.
Amelia County, Virginia
Amelia County was formed from Prince George and Brunswick Counties in 1735 and in 1754, Prince Edward would be formed from Amelia County.
In the article, The Settlement of Prince Edward County by Herbert Bradshaw in volume 62, No.3, pages 448-471 of The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, we are told the following:
Two streams of settlers converged up on the territory which became Prince Edward County and met there. The first settlers came from eastern Virginia and their move into the upper part of Amelia County was the natural migration westward of a people seeking more and fresh land. They came from various sections of the eastern part of the colony, from south of the James to the Northern Neck. Some of the immigrants belonged to the movement into southern Virginia and northern North Carolina known as the Hanover Migration. The number of people who went out from Hanover and its neighboring counties during the four decades before the Revolution was almost phenomenal.
The distance from Hanover County to Prince Edward County is about 80 miles – over a week by wagon.
These settlers from eastern Virginia were largely of English stock. Jacob McGehee who came from King William (County)…was of Scotch descent. John Nash who moved from Henrico (County)…was from Wales.
The second major stream of migration consisted of Scotch-Irish settlers from Pennsylvania. These people who were Scottish in nationality had the Irish hyphenated as a result of a sojourn of approximately a century in Northern Ireland. They had been settled there by James I to repopulate a land desolated by the armies of Queen Elizabeth I. Many migrated to Pennsylvania where they settled on the frontier. Indian troubles made life precarious there, so many took again to the weary road and south to a haven in the "back parts" of Virginia.
About 1735 two Scotch-Irish settlements, both under the leadership of John Caldwell were made in southside Virginia, one on Cub Creek in Brunswick (now Charlotte) County and the other on Buffalo River in Amelia (now Prince Edward) County. The Scotch-Irish for the most part moved in companies and made their homes in a settlement and for the purposes of protection, social contact and religious worship.
Bradshaw goes on to mention by name the Scotch-Irish settlers, none of which are the surnames that are consistently associated with James Moore. Neither is the location of their settlement which was someplace in the region of Sandy Ford and Spring Creek, according to the road orders.
A third smaller group were the French Huguenots from Manakin in Goochland County. James Moore is not associated with those names either.
The 1740s in Amelia, eventually to become Prince Edward County, was defined by settlers opening land for cultivation, clearing roads, building homes and forming a community.
Moore's Ordinary
Of course, innkeepers with licenses for ordinaries and taverns followed, with George Moore receiving permission to open an ordinary in 1748 known as "Moore's Ordinary" in the town of present-day Meherrin, near the Meherrin River.
Today, a lonesome roadsign points the way to a sleepy, nearly deserted village that was once thriving.
The original Moore's Ordinary was converted into a private home, then torn down years ago, with only a grainy picture remaining today. You'd never guess that this building, below, was the famous ordinary. Certainly, James Moore would have visited this building, as ordinaries weren't just taverns, but community centers where all kinds of business was transacted.
A cemetery, mostly with unmarked graves, is all that's left nearby now.
For a long time, I believed George Moore was associated with our James Moore, but there is no direct evidence today to suggest such. There is, however, some amount of circumstantial evidence, but given the community interactions and intermarriages between the families, it's impossible without either definitive documents or Y DNA tests to determine whether or not these men were actually related or simply associated.
For example. George Moore's daughter married John Watkins who was the executor of the will of Joseph Rice, James Moore's father-in-law. You can read a summary here.
If you are a Moore male, please, please take a Y DNA test and join the Moore Worldwide DNA Project at Family Tree DNA.
First Sighting of James Moore
Hanover County suffered extensive record loss during the Civil War, so early Hanover Records aren't available, for the most part. I was not able to find any references to Moore families that would have been in the Hanover area concurrently with Joseph Rice. The Rice family is first found in New Kent County, Virginia where Joseph was born.
There is a James Moore born on November 13, 1718 in New Kent County to a father named James Moore, accoring to the St. Peter's Parish Records. There are at least two James Moores in New Kent during this timeframe, because one dies on July 9, 1718 but another goes on to have more children. In 1729, James and Agnis Moore had son, Robert. This couple is likely not our James Moore's parents because the name Agnis is not found in the family and neither are other names of James and Agnis's children, like Valentine. There is no William Moore, probable brother to James Moore, born during this time in New Kent.
Our first glimpse of James Moore in Amelia County might be in 1743, but I can't tell if the James Moore on the tax list is our James or not.
In 1745, James Moore is working as on overseer on the plantation of the Randolph's. The Randolph family owns an immense amount of land.
James was a young man, between 24 and 27 years old. He may have been married when he arrived in Amelia County, or he may have married after arriving there.
According to the tax list, James lived "above Sailor's Creek" and according to the court records, was ordered along with several others to clear the road from Bush River Bridge to the Chapple.
A History of Dissent
According to the History of Prince Edward County, The Chapple was also known as Watkin's Church, situated about eighteen miles from Prince Edward Court House (now the town of Worsham), on the Lynchburg Road. By 1760, a significant amount of religious dissent was occurring in Prince Edward County, in part because of the taxes levied to pay for the glebe land of 3 different Anglican Churches, and in part because the upper church at Sandy River had been involved in scandal, including selling liquor at and in church. Watkin's Church was not Anglican.
Dissenters continues to increase, with some Anglican officials themselves converting. In 1779, it's mentioned in the vestry notes that the Presbyterians, "were then riding the top of the wave in Prince Edward."
In 1759, Joseph Rice was given permission to build a dissenting meeting house on his property, which had previously assumed to be Methodist, but there is no history of the Methodists in Prince Edward County at that time. It's very likely that Joseph Rice was among the Presbyterian dissenters, even though his grandson, William Moore, would, by 1775 be a founding Methodist circuit riding minister.
Dissenting seems to be a family tradition.
Given that Joseph Rice is James Moore's father-in-law, this informs us that James too was probably not Anglican and was a dissenter himself. This probably also explains why no marriage record exists for James Moore when he married Joseph Rice's daughter. An Angican minister didn't perform the ceremony and therefore no marriage return was filed. At this time, only Anglican ministers were authorized to perform marriages, legally.
James is mentioned on the 1745 road list along with Henry Ligon, William Ligon, Alexander Frazier, James Rutledge and Charles Cottrel.
On this map, Sailor, also spelled Saylor Creek is where the red arrows point, and Bush River is where the green arrows point. Both creeks dump into the Appomattox River to the north and are about 5 miles distant from each other, as the crow flies.
Sandy River, mentioned as an area heavy with dissenting families is the branch pointed to by the purple arrow.
Apparently, the Rice land on Sandy River reached to Little Saylor's Creek, maybe two miles distant.
Apparently the Joseph Rice family was the hotbed of the Sandy River dissenters.
Is William Moore James Moore's Brother?
The only hint of family that I can connect with James Moore is William Moore, also living above Sailor's Creek in 1748 in close proximity to James Moore and adjacent the Rice family.
In 1752, William Craddock sold 148 acres of land to William Moore on a small branch of Sandy Creek adjacent the lines of both Matthew Rice and William Ligon, land patented to William Craddock on October 10, 1752.
Other transactions occur, but it's difficult to identify those William Moores. There is a James Moore living in Amelia County who is not our James Moore, proven by Y DNA testing. That James Moore died in 1772, having son Anderson Moore who moved to Halifax County literally within a couple miles and across Mountain Road from our James Moore. That James Moore also had sons James and William Moore.
In 1754 William Moore became levy-free due to disability or age. We know he's not a preacher nor a sheriff.
In 1762, William Ligon sells 970 acres to James Atwood of Amelia County on the south side of Sandy River bounded by William More, Matthew Rice and others.
In 1762 William is tithed with himself and also a William Jr, who is likely at that time 16-21, so born 1741-1745. Therefore William Moore Sr. is born 1720 or earlier, about the same time as James Moore.
In 1767, William Moore is taxed with 147 acres.
In 1774 William sells with wife Margaret 60 acres to Thomas Vaughan.
William disappears off of the tax lists in 1782.
In 1784 William, no wife named, sells 75 acres of land to Edmund D. Ford with John, Sarah and Sarah Moore as witnesses (yes, two separate Sarah's). A John Moore sued Noel Waddell for debt, so this John may be connected to this William. These transactions leave 13 acres unaccounted for.
In 1810, there is a William W. Moor in Prince Edward Co. with 1 male 10-15, 1 male 16-25, female under 10, female 10-15, female 26-44 and 5 slaves. The only other Moore in the county is Molly, widow of George who died in 1798.
Even more interestingly, in 1885, a William H. Moore sells 13 acres of land on Briery Creek to Annie E. Dotson. That 13 acres makes up the full amount that William owned, although Briery Creek is a branch of Bush River, not Sandy Creek, so this could be a red herring. If this is the same land, it also means that there may be Moores of that bloodline in Prince Edward County, or someone researching them. I could find no William Moore in the census for Prince Edward County from 1840-1880, but in 1880 there is a William L. Moore who is living with a family in Halifax County as their cousin. He was born in 1828.
In 1830 in Prince Edward County, one William Moore, age 40-50 (born 1780-1890) with 3 sons, age 5-20 and 3 daughters of the same age is living in Prince Edward County
I was unable to determine what actually happened to William Moore although I suspect given that he was born about 1720 that he probably died when he disappeared from the tax list in the 1780s.
James Moore named his oldest two sons James and William.
James Moore's life in Amelia and Prince Edward Counties
James Moore married one of the daughters of Joseph Rice about 1745, as proven by Joseph Rice's will in 1766. In Prince Edward County, James Moore lived on Sailor (Saylor) Creek adjacent both Joseph and Matthew Rice. Matthew Rice was the brother of Joseph Rice.
In 1746, the court records a trespass case with James Moore as plaintiff and Garrett Smith as defendant. Trespass at that time was different than today. Generally, trespass meant that two farmers were having a dispute regarding the planting of crops over the perceived property line.
The property tax list of 1746 appears to be in neighbor order with James's "road" appearing to be George Lovall, Alex Frayser, Duglass Pickett, James More, James Rutledge and Thomas Rutledge, Charles Cottrell, John Waddill, Tho Certan and Wtopr. Certain, Richard Witt.
In 1747, although James Moore is not specifically listed, the Amelia County order book shows the following court order:
Joseph Rice, road to be cleared from the place Captain Walker's old road crossed Sandy River by the nearest and best way to Bush River, the Parson, Thomas Turpin, John Holloway, Richard Witt, Michael Rice, John Waddell and their tithables to do the work.
William Womack, road from Great Sailor's Creek into the road a little below Crawford's house, with Thomas Certain, Abraham Vaughan, John Gentry, Jonthan Howell, William Brooks, Charles Spradling and their tithables and those at John Nash's and Benjamin Runnins' quarters to do the work.
We find the names of Womack and Spradling here and also as James Moore's neighbors a few years later in Halifax County. Joseph Rice was James Moore's father-in-law.
On July 25, 1748, a land sale occurred that may provide a much-needed clue about James Moore's ancestry.
Abraham Womack of Raleigh Parish to James Moore of Raleigh Parish – July 25, 1748 – consideration 15# – 100 acres on Saylor's Creek adjoining the lines of John Hall, William Womack and Abraham Womack, being the upper end of a larger tract patented to Abraham Womack on July 10, 1745. Witness Matthew Rice, Thomas Turpin, Thomas Nash and John Nash. Possession being obtained by James Moore on July 25, 1748. Deed ordered recorded Aug. 19, 1748 after Jane, wife of Abraham, relinquished dower.
Somehow, I match more than 30 Womack descendants who also match me and each other. Was Abraham Womack somehow related to James Moore?
In 1749, 1750 and 1751, James is noted as "above Sailor's Creek."
James Moore may be associated with a George and William Moore who also lived "above Sailors Creek", although that may be happenstance. William Moore appeared "above Sailor Creek" on the tax list of 1748 and purchased land on Sandy Creek, abutting Matthew Rice in 1752. There is also a Peter Moore for only 1 year in 1748 in this same Sailor Creek area. George Moore's land abuts the land of the Randolphs, but the Randolphs were large absentee landowners, so we have no way of knowing if this is really relevant.
In 1752, James Moore witnessed a land sale from Abraham Womack to William Womack.
Abraham Womack to William Womack June 23, 1752 for 15# – 100 acres on the upper side of Sailors Creek adjoining land of Benjamin Ruffin, James Moore and Charles Caython, being part of 400 acres patented to Abraham Womack on July 10, 1745. Witness James (x) Moore, John (x) Haloway (also Holloway) and John Rice. Possession and deed ordered recorded June 25, 1752.
James also served on a jury and as a witness for Daniel Dejarnett who owed him for 7 days attendance at court.
In 1753, James is again taxed "above Sailor's Creek."
This portion of Amelia County became Prince Edward County in 1754.
In 1756, a heart-rending situation occurred as told in the History of Prince Edward County:
A dangerous situation developed in 1756 when a slave of William Womack after having been outlawed took refuge in quarters of John Stanton and defended himself with broadax and darts. He had tried to kill his master and neighbors tried to capture him alive. A group of Abraham Womack, Isham Womack, William Barry, James Moore and William Masters fought with the slave and shot him. He died of his wounds.
I can't help but feel the terror that slave must have felt, 263 years later. I was unable to discern the meaning of "outlawed" in this context. Was this man evil, or simply desperate? We'll never know the answer to that, or the backstory. I do know that neither James Moore nor his sons or father-in-law owned slaves.
In 1759, the location of James Moore's property was more specific, noted on the tax list as between Ligon's Rolling Road and Sailor's Creek Old Road, Sailor's Creek and Sandy River. The Ligon's owned land on Sandy River and the Rolling Road would have been the road they rolled the tobacco hogsheads down to the Appomattox River. Threefore, the roads would run alongside the creeks and rivers north to the Appomattox.
Sandy River (red arrows) is the eastern branch of Bush River (left green arrow.) The right green arrows point to Sailor's Creek and I'm guessing that the roads mentioned are between those rivers.
This map of Prince Edward County drawn during the Civil War shows an approximate location, including Rice's Station.
On February 4, 1760, Edith Cobbs of Amelia County sold 200 acres of land to Joseph Rice, land patented to John Ford. James Moore who signed with a mark, along with Noel Waddell and Jeay (Icay?) Rice were witnesses.
This deed states that it's the other half of Ford's original 400 acres and Joseph Rice had already purchased the other 200.
On February 20, 1760, James Moore of Prince Edward County sold 75 acres for 40 # to Noel Waddill on Sailors Creek, part of a tract that James purchased from Abraham Womack and bounded by Ryan, Matthew Rise (Rice), the Mill branch, signed by James Moore. Witness Jacob Waddill, James Flowers, and Joseph Nunn.
Now if I only knew where the Mill Branch was located. Note on the map, above, Ellington's Mill to the right of Rice's Station.
Today, the town of Rice is Rice's Station and the Mill Branch may be Ellington's Mill.
On March 1, 1760, Abraham Womack of St. Patrick Parish sold to James Moore 11 acres for 5# adjoining James Moore and the new line agreed on by Abraham and William Womack. Witnesses were Joseph and Icay Rice.
In September of 1760, in a court proceeding, John Nunn wanted to build a mill across Childress Creek and James Moore is one of several men making a judgement.
In April of 1761, Matthew Rice sold land to John Chapman on the Sandy River, bounded by Philip Ryon, Thomas Turpin and Matthew Rice, witnessed by James Moore who signed with an "M".
On April 13th, the same day, Samuel Goode of Prince Edward County sold 330 acres of land to Charles Rice, on the upper side of Saylor's Creek granted to the said Samuel by patent dated July 13, 1760 and bounded by Joseph Rice, Abraham Womack, the old line of Matthew Rice, William Barnes, Noel Waddil. Witnesses were Obadiah Claybrook, Matthew Rice, and James (M his mark) Moore.
This deed too may be very important.
James Moore named his son born about 1765 Mackness. That unusual name is associated with the Rowlett family in Prince Edward County, with one Mackness Rowlett born about 1741 being the son of John Rowlett who died in 1776 with a will. The name Mackness may well reach back in time to the marriage of one John Goode and Frances Mackarness. Samuel Goode is reported, but not verified to be their grandson.
James Moore didn't just pick the name Mackness out of the sky. There had to be a reason for James or his wife to select Mackness. Probably the same or a similar reason that John Rowlett named his son Mackness in 1741.
In November 1761, James Moore witnessed a deed from John Maynard to William Spicer for land on the lower side of Sailor's Creek.
A year later, on December 13, 1762, Henry Barksdale sold 25 acres to Noel Waddell on both sides of Great Sailor's Creek bounded by a road in James Moore's line and also mentions Joseph Nunn. Witnesses were James (M) Moore, Phil Holcombe and Grimes Holcombe.
Between this information and the tax lists, it looks like James Moore owned land on a road on the north side of Sailor's Creek, and probably adjacent to the Creek.
In February 1764, Noel Waddell sells to Francis Anderson of Amelia County, 250 acres and 203 acres on the lower side of Great Sailor's Creek patented July 10, 1755. John Stanton bought it from Abraham Womack "once owned" it and James (M) Moore witnessed again.
By this time, James Moore is more than 40 years old, possibly as old as 47. He owns a total of 36 acres of land. He has probably been married for 25 years or so, which makes the next item particularly significant and perhaps a turning point in his life.
Joseph Rice Dies
In 1766, James Moore's father-in-law, Joseph Rice died, with a will that is recorded in the Prince Edward County Will book 1, page 80. Bless his heart!
In the name of God Amen I Joseph Rice of Prince Edward County being indisposed in body but of perfect mind and memory praised be to God for the same do make and constitute and ordain this and none other to be my last will and testament in manner and form following.
To my son-in-law James Moore 100 acres land whereon he now lives to be divided from the tract I live on by a line that was run by Robert Farguson to him and his heirs forever.
To my well beloved son John Rice 100 acres of land joyning the aforesaid 100 of Moores and also divided by the said Fargusons line and the tract whereon I now live to him and his heirs forever.
To my well beloved son William Rice the East part of the tract of land I now live on to be divided beginning on a line run by Robert Farguson on my Spring Branch…containing 100 acres more or less to him and his heirs forever.
To my well beloved son Charles Rice the remainder part of my land whereon I now live after the death of my well loved wife to him and his heirs forever.
To my well beloved son David Rice 133 acres of land whereon he now lives to him and his heirs forever
To my well beloved son Joseph Rice 133 acres of land whereon he now lives to him and his heirs forever.
To my well beloved sons John, William and Charles as they become of age 21 each a feather bed and furniture and one cow and calf to them and their heirs forever if the estate can afford it.
To my well beloved daughter Mary Rice one feather bed and furniture and one cow and calf.
Well beloved wife Rachel remainder of personal estate during her natural life.
Sons John, William and Charles after decease of wife, 7 # current money of Virginia.
Rest of estate divided equally after decease of wife. Wife Rachel and David Rice and John Watkins executors. December 1765.
Signed with mark (long I with 3 crossmarks) witness John Watkins, William Womack, Charles Rice – Probated June 16, 1766.
This will tells us that in addition to the 36 acres that James Moore owns, he has been living on and farming 100 acres of his father-in-law's land. Now James owns a total of 136 acres.
His land also abuts the Farguson land, another name we'll see in Halifax County living adjacent James Moore.
The Problem with the Will
The problem with the will is that James Moore's wife is named Mary according to later deeds in Halifax County. However, in Joseph Rice's will, he specifically says that James Moore is his son-in-law, and he mentions his daughter Mary separately with the Rice surname, giving the impression that Mary Rice is not married.
Did James Moore marry two of Joseph's daughters? First, an unnamed daughter, and eventually, Mary Rice?
Did James Moore marry one of Joseph Rice's daughters who died after 1766, and James Moore remarried to a Mary, last name unknown, before his wife's name appears in Halifax County records a few years later?
Is it possible that Joseph Rice's daughter that was married to James Moore had already died before Joseph died? If that were the case, I'd presume that the land would have been left to James Moore's children, not James himself.
We know from various records and sources (including DNA matches) that indeed, this James Moore is the James Moore that was Joseph Rice's son-in-law, but why did Joseph refer to his daughter as Mary Rice if she was married to James Moore who had been mentioned previously in the will?
James Moore had a son named Rice Moore, born about 1762 – so the evidence is compelling that indeed James was married to one of Joseph Rice's daughters.
James Moore's daughter, Lydia Moore, born about 1746 married Edward Henderson and named a son Rice Henderson, so clearly Lydia's mother was a Rice.
In 1767, on the tax list, James Moore is listed with 136 acres of land, two tithes, one of which is James Moore Jr. This means that James Jr. is over the age of 16 and possibly over the age of 21, so was born before 1750.
In 1769, James Moore is on the tax list again, with James Moore Junior and also with Charles Henderson living with him. It's unclear exactly who Charles was, or why he was living with James Moore.
James is nearing 50 years of age, the half century mark. You'd think he'd be interested in farming his land and maybe beginning to relax a little. By this time, he had grandchildren to enjoy. Perhaps his wife wanted to help care for her mother.
However, that's not at all what happened. By 1770, James Moore and family had packed up everything they owned into a wagon, sold their land in Prince Edward County and migrated with a community once again. This time, to what is now the Vernon Hill/Oak Level area of western Halifax County where he settled among the Spradlings, Womacks and Fargusons.
The curtain drops on Act 1 of James Moore's life, a half-century in the making. What will Act 2 bring?

Could there be more than one daughter named Mary? Or maybe the second Mary was officially Mary Bell, but everyone were calling her Mary since her elder sister left the house?

That's possible especially if there were two mothers involved. So many unknowns. We don't know who her mother was other than his wife at his death was Rachel.

Thank you for the link to a preview of Bradshaw's article, "The Settiement of Prince Edward County." After clicking through, I clicked for the citation, which reported vol. 62, no. 4. When I returned to your post I noticed it cited no. 3. Guess one of those keys is adjacent to the correct one. (Reviewing this, I found that I'd missed the "2" soft key on my phone, so cited vol. 6.)
Thank you again, Roberta, for your work here, and the links — the recent link to the Virginia Chancery Index was especially helpful.

I do not know where to start.
According to DNA evidence my Moore matches are on my mother's side. I double checked. I have quite a few Moore in my tree at different times, so I had guessed they were related farther back before the DNA tests.. This was a bit unexpected, as I suspected Moore also on my father's side. Maybe those people have not tested, have provided no tree, or I have missed them due to different surnames in more recent generations? My mother's youngest sister and I both have Moore on my mother's side.
I have a direct line of Womack on my father's side, so I have been sorting out the Womack families in Virginia and North Carolina. There is one William Womack family I managed to sort out with documents. Hopefully this is the same William Womack you mentioned in the James Moore post. This is the Womack line whose son, Jesse, was later in Bedford County, Virginia, and had some sort of relationship with my mother's Thornhill family, and likely my mother's and father's Corley (Crawley) family who lived near by William Womack. There were county changes, so it is hard to tell if William Womack actually moved far. I also made advances researching the Abraham Womack family of Caswell, North Carolina. Any of these mentioned Womack families could be related to Moore, but I found no document so far. I am trying to sort them out by family groups with documents, and by location. As far as I can tell, the older generation of Womack lived in Henrico County, and they all named their children the same names. Some of the Womack, seem to be treated by researchers as separate persons, when it was maybe the same person in a different location. There were way too many with the same name!
Spradlin, Ferguson and Ford (as a middle name) were related on dad's side. I have two direct lines of Rice on father's side. Dawson and Wade are on my father's side as direct lines, as is Wilkinson and Matthews. The surnames are there, but it is hard to positively tell which is the correct person. They all lived near Moore. So why is Moore DNA on my mother's side? It might not be the same Moore family. Or, Moore was related to the Taylor of the same area, and that Taylor might be related to my farthest back Mt-DNA match, who lived in early Kentucky?
James Moore lived in an area where I sometimes find two ancestors of different lines on the same page when researching, and sometimes on the same document. I have a messy public tree at Ancestry, and comments are appreciated.
Thanks Roberta for all the hard work you have done on Moore. I really appreciate it.
These lines are very messy. And they are all so intermarried. Many before we can find them, which messes with everything downstream. As for Moores, look at the FTDNA Moore Worldwide project. You maybe able to tell the different lines there. I found some Womack info in a book in Fort Wayne at the library. I will see if I can dig up what I copied.

Dear Roberta,
So enjoyed reading this great post about James Moore. Have you found any connection to my ancestor, Joseph Moore, born 1740 in New Kent, VA and who died 18 Mar 1791 in Prince Edward County, VA? So appreciate your insight?

World Trade Center View - Did He Like It?
On the night before 9/11, a young man living in SoHo places an ad for a roommate online. Then, the world changes. A surprising and intimate glimpse of life in lower Manhattan during the strange days of September 2001.
May 27, 2011: A World Trade Center view no longer exists by the beginning of "WTC View," Brian Sloan's uneven account of tentative love and palpable loss in the weeks after 9/11. That description nearly found its way into a "seeking roommate" classified ad that Eric (Nick Lewis) placed on Sept. 10, 2001. By the time phone calls start coming in about the apartment, of course, this potential selling point has been reduced to two smoldering piles of rubble just a dozen or so blocks away. Much of "WTC View," which is at 59E59 Theaters as part of its Americas Off Broadway series, is devoted to the potential roommates for Eric, a gay man in his early 30s who is only gradually disentangling his own innate anxieties and fears from those generated by the attacks.

Wokefield Estate is a palatial complex with hazards of a size that rivals its sprawling country house namesake. A new benchmark for largest lake was the body of water on the 12 hole completely as long as the hole itself. For birdie position on this par 3, you have to traverse every inch of it. It reminded me of the dreaded 5th hole on the Shangri-La Villingili course in the Maldives. And the water extends further from there with rivulets extending from each end linking it to yet another sizeable body.
The sand traps are just as a leviathan sometimes larger than the greens themselves. In fact, Lori referred to them as "sand lakes". Sort of the Morecombe Bay of golf courses (and just as dangerous). The trap at Hole 2 is like some runaway deformity with random appendages protruding in various directions like some giant, ball-eating, flat-world octopus. And the size of so many traps doesn't mean the sand has been sucked up into a few big pits. There's plenty of sand left for a huge number of smaller traps as well (71 in total to be precise).
Welcome – When I originally contacted Wokefield, they said that dogs were "welcome on a lead or under control", but when a booked the tee time, the pro shop mentioned the lead again. As a result, while I have included the comment "on a lead or under control" in the Notes section of their profile, I have ticked them as a "Lead Required" course. Given all the wildlife around, it's probably not a bad thing to have a bit of extra constraint to guard against temptation.
Walk – After so many hilly courses, Wokefield was a welcome relief as a nearly flat landscape.
Water – Eight water hazards in total, many of which are quite sizeable (see above) means that you are never very far from a sip of water for the dogs (and most quite accessible with gentle embankments in places to set down to them).
Wildlife – A virtual menagerie. Pheasants in all the rough. Rabbits too.. Water fowl galore. And even llamas by the exit!
Wind Down – For the first time since starting this site, we took our wind down at the halfway point with a tasty lunch and refreshing drink at clubhouse itself near the 9th Hole. Being a hotel operation, they had an extensive menu that was available all day long. The burger on brioche and very crunchy chips quite exceeded our expectations (though admittedly a bit pricier than your typical pub fare).
Expand your mind as big as the traps that surround you and get Woke to dog golfing.

Пела́йо (), або Пела́гій (; бл. 685—737) — перший король Астурії (718—737), засновник Астурійського королівства. Син Вермудо, небіж вестготського короля Родеріха. Служив в Толедо меченосцем вестготських королів Вітіци та Родеріха. За правління Вітіци вигнаний з Толедо. Після мусульманського завоювання Іспанії прибув до Астурії, очолив християнський визвольний рух. 718 року обраний королем Астурії в горах Пікос-де-Европа. Заклав столицю в Кангасі. Здобув перемогу при Ковадонзі над мусульманами (722). Помер в астурійській столиці, похований в церкві святого Евлалія. Був одружений із Гаудіосою. Мав двох дітей — сина Фавілу, другого астурійського короля, та доньку Ермесенду, дружину третього астурійського короля Альфонсо I. Діяння описані в «Хроніці Альфонсо III».

Біографія

Молоді роки
Походив зі знатного роду. Син Фавіли, герцога Кантабрії (за іншою версією Галеції) та онук короля Гіндасвінта. Він був двоюрідним братом Родеріха, останнього короля вестготів. Його батька стратили в Толедо за наказом короля Вітіци. Щоб врятуватися, Пелайо втік до Астурії, а потім відправився на прощу до Єрусалима. Повернувся до королівства лише після смерті Вітіци. Тут дістав посаду графа.

У битві при Гвадалеті в 711 році, коли загинув Родерік і впало королівство вестготів, Пелайо був одним з командирів охорони короля. Він зумів врятуватися, відступивши до Толедо. 714 року втік на північ, у важкодоступні гори.

Незабаром навколо Пелайо у містечку Луса Астура стали збиратися залишки старої знаті і єпископи, які втекли від маврів. Під захистом гір, серед ущелин і печер, дуже зручних для оборони, вони мали намір дати відсіч завойовникам. Втім маври зайняли практично усю Астурію, Кантабрію та Галецію (Галісію). На деякий час Пеллайо визнав зверхність арабів, отримавши у володіння родинні землі. Втім він використав час задля підготовки боротьби, яку згодом розпочав.

Король
Повідомлення про загибель Родеріха змусило їх подумати про необхідність обрати наступника, який повинен був керувати їхніми військовими діями, і вони зупинили свій вибір на Пелайо. Його спочатку було обрано намісником держави. Пелайо відступив у передгір'я Пікос де Еуропа. Звідси очолив повстання проти Мунуси, арабського намісника в Північних Піренеях.

У 717 році Пелайо потрапив у полон, але зумів утекти й повернувся в гори Астурії. У 718 році соратники обрали його королем згідно з вестготськими звичаями. Спочатку королівство Пелайо було зовсім невеликим, радше ілюзорним, ніж реальним. Його столицею було невелике містечко Кангас-де-Оніс. Для зміцнення становища видав доньку за сина Педро, герцога Кантабрії.

У 722 році Пелайо в долині Ковадонга здобув значну перемогу, коли було розбите військо арабів на чолі із Алькамою (він загинув). Після неї араби пішли з північно-східної Астурії. Це поклало початок Реконкісті. Протягом усього життя Пелайо з успіхом відбивав набіги маврів і зумів розширити свої володіння, зайнявши, крім Астурії, сусідню Кантабрію, низку приморських областей басків.

Помер у 737 році, а владу успадкував його син Фавіла.

Сім'я
 Дружина — Гаудіоса
 Діти:
 Фавіла (?—739) — король Астурії (737—739).
 Ермесінда, дружина Альфонсо I у 739—757 роках

There is a lot of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in Denver because we have so much sunshine and beautiful weather. Why not take advantage of Mother Nature's bounty with park workouts? If you're one of the many people who have purchased a Pogamat you're in luck because it is perfect for using outdoors. It works great on a number of surfaces, including grass and concrete and cleans up easily.
Don't worry, you don't have to lug all of your equipment into the car and carry it into the park with you; all you need is your Pogamat and the outdoors and you can do a number of effective bodyweight and cardio exercises.
Use the jungle gym to do pull-ups and chin-ups.
Use a park bench or picnic table for sit-ups, push-ups, chair sits, or step-ups.
A tree makes a great base for planks; lie on your forearms, straighten your legs out behind you and walk your feet up the tree trunk until your body is parallel to the ground.
Run the stairs if there are any.
Jump rope or hula hoop in the green space.
Yoga and pilates in the park on your Pogamat.
Don't work out indoors under fluorescent lights if you don't have too, leave that until winter time. Get outside and enjoy the added benefits of fresh air and sunshine!
The post Park Workouts: Bring the Gym Outdoors appeared first on Pogamat.

Women of TIDAL are Shaping the Innovative Future of the Platform
March 6, 2022 Ubaid Vickers Culture
Women of TIDAL are shape shifters.
Every now and then, the age-old debate on whether to have dinner with Jay-Z or take $500,000 trends on social media. Fans provide arguments for both sides of the spectrum. Some argue that a conversation during a dinner with Hov will catapult them to insurmountable heights, while others look to cash-out on-demand.
Well last September, TIDAL's Twitter account finally put the debate to rest with the now viral response "Take the $500K," tweeted from the thumbs of social media manager, Melanie Mercedes.
Take the $500K.
— TIDAL (@TIDAL) September 9, 2021
The New York University alumna has held the role of managing all social platforms for TIDAL. Now her role has evolved to community manager of social which she describes is a role that goes far beyond solely publishing on social media.
Melanie Mercedes
"The magic in social is being able to identify your audience and speak to them directly. When they feel seen and heard, they're much more likely to engage in a meaningful way."
Humanizing the brand is pivotal to keeping the audience engaged. While social media controls the direct-to-consumer voice for the platform, Alexa Disney connects the DSP and collaborating artists with external brands that coincide with their musical content and overall message.
The Sony Music alumas, where she held a similar role, stresses the importance of authenticity when pairing TIDAL or other artists with other brands.
Alexa Disney
"Fans know if it's not authentic," she says.
There was more push back during the beginning of her career, where many artists perceived brand partnerships to be a gimmick, rather than something that can help expand their audience. In this day and age, artists are more receptive because it helps to only add to their overall brand.
For Tonya Nelson-Fisher, the manager of music programming, she connects TIDAL's "most passionate music fans" to their favorite genre, artists, era of music and more. In addition, Nelson-Fisher helps to curate themed playlists for specific holidays, months and even cultural icons. Back in January, TIDAL uploaded a playlist of Martin Luther King Jr.'s most famous speeches. The same goes for Maya Angelou and Malcom X.
"I think that differentiates us and helps us to stand out from the pack," she says.
Tonya Nelson Fisher
Nelson-Fisher promises that TIDAL will introduce new features to enhance their user experience in the near future. The digital streaming platform has added the HiFi Plus tier user experience, which grants access to lossless High Fidelity sound quality, master quality and immersive audio.
Although Tonya, Alexa and Melanie's roles differ, they co-exist to expand TIDAL's reach to potential new audiences, while maintaining the interest of the ones that already exist.
Their musical obsession only adds to the growth and success of the platform.

Is Actress Ruth Negga Poised to Be a Prada Muse?
By Marjon Carlos
As her impressive track record shows, Miuccia Prada has a knack for spotting Hollywood's next big thing. She was among the first to dress the likes of Lupita Nyong'o, Hailee Steinfeld, and Mia Wasikowska, who quickly became household names after zipping themselves into a Prada piece (or two, or three . . . ). And with actress Ruth Negga's appearance in an emerald green pleated midi dress from the house's Fall 2016 collection last night in Los Angeles, it would seem the Italian designer has her sights set on another rising star.
The Ethiopian-Irish actress's performance in Loving, an historical drama surrounding an interracial marriage in mid-century America, has already drummed up Oscar buzz, and the sparkling look she wore last night is likely to attract the attention of the fashion world, too. With silver shoes, a blue satin bow around her waist, and eye-catching Marcel waves, Negga added vintage-inspired touches to bring the whole look together. It was a stunning red carpet moment, one that bodes well for this awards season.

Q: Integration Testing a rails API using devise_token_auth for authenticaton and cancancan for authorization using Rspec I have a rails-api application that I'm testing using Rspec. The Application uses devise_token_auth gem for authentication and cancancan gem for authorization.
devise_token_auth requires that the client include these authentication headers in every request:
access-token, client, expiry, uid. These headers are available in a response after successful authentication using email and password.
I have decided to use a solution provided in this answer to set these headers during testing.
In ability.rb I have this:
## models/ability.rb

class Ability
  include CanCan::Ability

  def initialize(user)
   if user.role? :registered
     can :create, Post, user_id: user.id
     can :update, Post, user_id: user.id
     can :destroy, Post, user_id: user.id
     can :read, Post
   end
  end
end

posts#show action in PostsController looks like this:
## controllers/posts_controller.rb

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  before_action :authenticate_user!
  load_and_authorize_resource

  def show
    render json: @post
  end
end

I have rescued CanCan::AccessDenied error to render a json message and a status of 403 forbidden in ApplicationController
rescue_from CanCan::AccessDenied do |exception|
  render json: {"message" => "unauthorized"}.to_json, :status => 403
end

I have this in spec/support/session_helper.rb
module SessionHelper
 def retrieve_access_headers

 ##I have a user with these credentials and has a "registered" role. in the the test db.

   post "/auth/sign_in", params: {:email => "registered_user@gmail.com", :password => "g00dP@ssword"}, headers: {'HTTP_ACCEPT' => "application/json"}

##These two pass
expect(response.response_code).to eq 200
expect(response.body).to match(/"email": "registered_user@gmail.com"/)

     access_headers = {"access-token" => response.headers["access-token"],
     "client" => response.headers["client"],
     "expiry" => response.headers["expiry"],
     "uid" => response.headers["uid"],
     "token-type" => response.headers["token-type"],
     'HTTP_ACCEPT' => "application/json"
   }

  return access_headers
 end

end
I have this in spec/support/requests_helper.rb
module RequestsHelper
  def get_with_token(path, params={}, headers={})
   headers.merge!(retrieve_access_headers)
   get path, params: params, headers: headers

   #### this outputs the expected headers on a json string and they seem fine ####
   puts "headers: "+headers.to_json
  end
end

I have included the two helpers in rails_helper.rb as shown below:
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }

RSpec.configure do |config|
   config.include SessionHelper, type: :request
   config.include RequestsHelper, type: :request
end

Finally I have a request spec in spec/request/posts/show_spec.rb
require 'rspec/its'
require 'spec_helper'
require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe 'GET /posts/:id', :type => :request do

    let(:post) {create(:post)}
    let(:id) {post.id}
    let(:request_url) {"/posts/#{id}"}

  context 'with a registered user' do
   it 'has a status code of 200' do
     get_with_token request_url
     expect(response).to have_http_status(:success)
   end
  end
end

I expect this to pass but it fails with message:
Failure/Error: expect(response).to have_http_status(:success)
   expected the response to have a success status code (2xx) but it was 403

The application works as expected on a browser.
What I'm a doing wrong?
