2017 Resolutions

2016 was a really important year for me as lots of new and exciting things happened, one of them being this blog, Beauty-Full Lifestyle. I wasn’t sure if I should do this, as lots of girls do it now and I wasn't sure if I wanted to do something that SOO many others do, too. However, friends and family persuaded me to do it, because they loved the looks I did and my knowledge on makeup. It isn’t just my hobby. It is the way I like to spend my day and if for some reason I am not doing that, I am writing. So after a lot of thought, I realized it was a good idea to combine the two and do something creative. So on January 29th, 2016 Beauty-Full Lifestyle came to life. Even though I am still only doing beauty topics, rest assured that in 2017 I will complete my idea and turn it into a proper lifestyle blog. This is my goal at least. For now I am putting 2016 behind me and moving forward to a new, exciting, glamorous and beauty-full (full of beauty) 2017. I hope it brings health, happiness and success to each and every one of you and of course to myself, too. Below you can see some of my goals for the new year. I hope you enjoy them.

  • Take care of myself more.

Considering my lifestyle and my attempt to deal with stress, I sometimes forget to do this. It definitely is the most important one, though. So this year I am making my priority to take care of myself, with everything this includes like looking, feeling, being better, sleeping more, eating healthier, etc.

  • Exercise more.

Whether it is for health reasons, or appearance reasons, exercising helps your mind and body function better and so you feel and look much better. As I am not an athletic person, never before had I ever been able to keep exercising. I would start something and then stop, whether that was the gym, dancing, or anything else. Believe me I have tried quite a few things. This year, however, I'm making a promise to myself and to you that I’m going to actually take it seriously and make exercising part of my weekly routine. Especially now, with the amazing group that I have with me while exercising, I have no excuses not to do it, as exercising with them is not only easy but a lot of fun, too.

  • More Beauty-Full Lifestyle.

There have been times in 2016, and we all know this, that I haven’t been uploading as regularly as I should have. In 2017 I promise to be much more organized and upload more regularly and do much better posts. Of course there are a lot more exciting things coming up on Beauty-Full Lifestyle, which you will slowly throughout the year find out about, so stay tuned to Beauty-Full Lifestyle.

  • Less stress.

Stress is something I suffer from a lot, even more than the average person. I am stressed 24/7 which is obviously not a good idea and it is to a point where I have health issues. One of the reasons for this is that I haven't found the way to deal with/ control it so my goal for 2017 is to find a way to do that, so that I can enjoy life to the fullest and be able to do the things I love.

So these were some of my 2017 resolutions and probably my most important ones. I hope that 2017 is a great year for all of you. I really do value your comments through your emails,  your likes and subscriptions, as they really do mean a lot to me, because they give me the strength to be better, stronger and keep moving forward to give you the best I can. So once again, please subscribe to Beauty-Full Lifestyle, follow our social media profiles on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter and keep sending me those emails. Also please leave me your comments. I love’d love to hear your opinions about my posts and ideas and also what you would like to see next. Thank you very much for an amazing first year in the blogging world and I’ll see you again on my next post!

Lots of love,

xoxo, Angie.

So with most classes at or a few races from their medal races, how has the Olympic Regatta panned out so far.

Gone to plan in a number of classes with Van Rysselberghe (NED) defending his London title and long time campaigner Dempsey (GBR) securing a Silver. Bronze still very much up for grabs with 3 sailors (POL)(FRA)(GRE) within 4 places in the medal race – eyes out the boat there, or should I say eyes off the board.

Giles Scott (GBR) in the Finn, after a start not unlike the guy who kept him out of the Olympics (Ainslie). THE 17th seemed to wake him up and the next 7 races saw him slipping off the podium only once, 17 points back is Zbogar (SLO) with Lilley (AUS) a further 9 points on that. Don’t write off Postma (NED) or Gaspic (CRO) who are both used to being at or near the front of the Finn fleet but barring a slip up Scott should be able to add Olympic Gold to his 4 Finn Gold Cups.

THE other pre-event favourites ‘doing the business’ are Burling & Tuke (NZL) in the 49er with 6 races in (half the event) in pole position with Heil and Ploessel (GER) just 2 points behind keeping them honest. There is then a 15 point gap to the Poles Przybytek & Kolodzinski (glad I typed that and didn’t have to try and say it) Those next 7 teams which include the fancied Outteridge and Jensen (AUS) are covered by just 10 points.

In the Laser Radial the form book is also being replicated with Marit Boumeester (NED) World Sailing ranked number 1 goes into the medal race with an 8 point cushion. Not unassailable with Rindom (DEN) and Murphy (IRL) within striking distance. If you remember Annalise Murphy was the unfortunate sailor who came away from Weymouth with the ‘leather medal’ after and epic medal race off the Nothe, perhaps Rio might supply a medal. Van Ecker (BEL) back in 4th and Tenkanen (FIN) shouldn’t be discounted for a medal chance either.

Sadly (from this author’s point of view) Xu LI Jia’s comeback from 2 years out studying in the UK was too steep a hill to climb. Added to this she was carrying a shoulder injury and 3 DSQ’s certainly didn’t help her cause.

Over in the Lasers the world ranked No 2 Stipanovic (CRO) is 10 points clear with only Burton (AUS) a threat to his Gold Medal – expect some match racing there – but Burton has to be careful as his cross Tasman rival Meech (NZL) could benefit as a result but has to finish 5 places clear of Burton to secure silver. This one could be exciting. World ranked No 1 Buhl (GER) did not even make the medal race.

In the Nacra 17, 4 times world champions and world ranked No 1, Besson & Riou are back down in 7th although they started to fire on all cylinders with 2 bullets on the last day of racing. The top 3 places are filled by Waterhouse and Darmain (AUS), Lange & Saroli (ARG) and Sexton & Groves (GBR) with just 11 points covering the first 6 teams and 3 races to go. Too close to call this one.

Over in the men’s 470, Belcher & Ryan (AUS) haven’t quite yet risen to the top but are just 2 points behind Fantela & Marenic (CRO) but they (the Croatians) are the form team having knocked the Aussie team off their top spot in the world rankings. And the form book continues its accuracy with world ranked No 3, Patience and Grube (GBR) currently lying in bronze medal position.

Early days in this fleet too with just half the scheduled races sailed – all to play for.

Over in the Women’s 470, early leaders Yoshida & Yoshioka (JPN) have been overhauled by Mills & Clark (GBR). The top 10 is full of people in a similar position in the world rankings but in a jumbled order showing how competitive this fleet is/ One surprise is that the NZL pairing of Aleh & Powrie are back in the lowly position of 6th  and that having scored 2 bullets. Having said that, this class is only half way through its quota of races and the difference between 1st and 6th is currently just 6 points – this one is not over yet.

That just leaves the RSX Women, and this could be the most exciting medal race of them all. 9 or the 10 finalists have a mathematical chance of a medal NINE!

The rankers are there but truly mixed up. Ranked 4 is leading, 6th is first, 1st is just 8th anmd so on but most of them are there

Up top is Tartaglini (ITA) but only on countback and with Elfultina (RUS) on level points we should be able to see a match race, or will we? Chen (CHN) who scored bullets in the last 3 races of the series to rocket up the table, Picon (FRA) and Davidovich (ISR) are ALL just 5 points (3 medal race places) behind the two leaders and the next 4 racers all have a chance to snatch a medal if the women ahead of them falter badly – edge of the seat stuff this one. Watch out for some VERY tactical sailing with heads on swivels and wheels going round inside heads.

Overall who is going to top the medal table? GBR? AUS? Perhaps even NED because as Mr Graham Burrell reminded us in his bitch about a previous article that in spite of what Pierre De Coubertin said “The Olympics is (sic) about winning medals”. Of course it is Mr Burrell –  if you are a medal winner! To the other 9,000+ athletes, it is taking part. If there is no competition there is no winner.

I do also not that apart from one class (which still has 5 races to go) Team GBR is on track to maintain its unique record of appearing in every single medal race since the format was adopted. 42 out of 43 isn’t bad.

Still some exciting competition to go and I would just like to finish with a small element of defence of Team USA which has been getting some flack on this site. 4 boats are likely to be in the Medal Race, (three have made it so far – ed). Do not forget the medal race is the equivalent of an athletics final and to qualify for 40% of the Olympic finals in any sport should be no shame. Yet, for US Sailing to state, “After six days of racing, the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team is in the top ten in five of ten classes” is hardly the Gold Standard of achievement. In fact, it is a spin on what many would call a dismal performance. Yes, there are some very good sailors there, but the US Olympic sailing platform clearly is not working.

Yes we always want “our team” to do better and as a Brit I am rather spoilt by the RYA’s sausage factory of success!

That’s all folks,

Shanghai Sailor

RJP-Nepal will participate in election: CEC Yadav

20 Aug, Dhanusha : Chief Election Commissioner Dr Ayodhi Prasad Yadav has said that the Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal would participate in the third round of local-level election after choosing one of the election symbols out of six election symbols of erstwhile Madhes-based parties.

At a news conference in Janakpur today, CEC Yadav said the RJP-Nepal is going to contest the local-level election being held in Province no. 2 on September 18 as per the political agreement.
He said that discussion was underway with the government to hold federal and provincial election in 31 mountainous and hilly districts on November 20.
On the occasion, CEC Yadav said, “In the third phase of local elections a monitoring committee will investigate and take action against the appointment of employees for the purpose of the election carried out without following the due process and against the use of children in the election process.”

Home Forums Sasquatch Forum My encounter with the "Green Man"

    mark T

    My name is mark Thompson, I would like to start by saying that this website is awesome. I listen every week and I am totally transfixed by peoples experiences with bigfoot/sasquatch. I have listened to over 100 cases and I can relate to some of the fear these people have felt.

    I now live in New Zealand, but originally I lived in England near London, in a town called High Wycombe. My encounter involves the legendary Green Man. The Green Man is a legend of old, and dates back thousands of years just like the native American stories of sasquatch. In my case I grew up next to the Chiltern hills, which span across the southwest to the northwest of London. It is a very dense wooded area and has many legends of the Green Man, Herne the hunter, jack ‘o’ lantern. Willo the wisp, Jack ‘o’ the Green etc. Some parts of the UK were not inhabited until the late 1800’s so forestry was quite big in England.

    I was 6 years old when I had my encounter, it happened behind my house where there was a wooded area that led out of my town towards the country side. I was with some older boys who were carrying a ladder to erect a swing on a tree in the middle of this wooded area, there was a meadow full of long grass but in a clearing in the woods. Once we had erected the swing and had goofed around for a bit, the bigger boys had decided it was time to head home. I was the last one to leave.

    I can remember following the bigger boys at a distance maybe 20 yards ahead of me. I don’t know what made me stop and look to my left, but on the edge of the meadow beside a large tree there was a huge figure, I remember craning my neck to look up at the creatures face, now I estimate 7-8 feet tall. The creature had lots of long hair draping down from its body which was full of twigs and leaves (like a guilly suit). The face was huge, deep set eyes, the long thin lips were open and it was smiling at me, I thought it was smiling but the rest of it’s face wasn’t, know I think it was showing it’s teeth. I was literally 10 feet away from this thing and I ran, I ran as fast as I could and caught the bigger boys, by this time they were nearing the edge of the woods. I never told anyone about this sighting, for years afterwards I would have nightmares about this creature coming through the woods coming to get me. I would have nightmares that this thing was in our house downstairs. When I laid on the pillow My heart beat would sound like it’s foot steps coming to get me. It really did shake me up, I had no confidence growing up, and I couldn’t get this image out of my head.

    Some other people have seen this creature but it has been at night, they mistook it for a ghost.

    Where I lived is about 3 miles from great Kingshill where this sighting took place.

    Keep up the good work, love listening to the show.

    Welcome Mark, I enjoyed the post.

    mark s

    Thanks Mark very cool post and name!

    Dave T

    You didn’t see the Green Man, you saw a bear. Don’t you know how this works. Oh wait, England doesn’t have bears does it? Hmmm, that’s gonna be s problem. Do you have any big woodchucks in England? Yeah that’s what it was a really big woodchuck. I’m kidding of course mark T. Thanks for the encounter. We have people here in Ohio that refer to BF as the “Grassman.” Lots of names for these critters huh?

    Christine J S

    Welcome to SC Mark; great encounter but my heart aches for the terrified 6 year old who never told. I hope you get some relief from going public.

    Steven B

    I need to correct you, Dave. In England, if they had bears, Mark would have seen a “bloody bear” or a “bloomin’ bear” or a “blinkin’ bear”. 😉 I suppose that the “authorities” there would tell people they mistook a Guernsey cow that happened to be reaching up for some tender leaves on a low branch.

    Did you read about them digging up the “Black Shuck”? England has a rich history of scary stuff and now they’ve just proved one not to be all myth/legend.

    Welcome, Mark. Thanks for sharing your encounter. I do believe there are things in the forests of England that would have made Robin Hood and his Merry Men opt for a “city” life.

    Jan W

    What a terrifying encounter! Fascinating article about the green an sightings too. Thanks for sharing, Mark T.

    Mark, nice to have you on board!! Make sure to “Steer clear of the Moors at Night” LOL!!

    Elise B

    Ever draw a sketch of the fellow?

    Reid D

    Welcome from across the pond! Im sorry for the little guy it scared so much tho but Im glad your here now!!

    Christopher c

    Great share Mark! welcome to the in crowd!

    Anyone is blessed if they get time to spend on New Zealand.

    That’s an interesting encounter. I wonder if the creature’s aggression was merely defensive. I mean something that size could easily pounce with success. The fact that you and those other boys came out unscathed suggests that it’s actions were protective. Maybe it was guarding something. Hmm…

    Europe, including Great Britain, has it’s bigfoot sightings. One name is the woodwose. I take it what you saw was not green, but it’s the local name for this hairy wild man. I do believe Europe has these creatures, but with the encroachment of the spreading population they’ve migrated to less populated regions.

    I wonder if they ever swim the English channel? At least one was observed swimming the frigid waters between Canada and Vancouver Island, and I read one report of a bigfoot swimming in the Gulf of Mexico out of sight of land.

    Sasquatches are believed to be good swimmers who sometimes use rivers to travel in the evenings. It’s one characteristic that distinguishes them from most all primates which do not swim.

    mark T

    hello Knobby,

    I understand that there was a land bridge between Great Britain and the rest of Europe dating to 4000 years ago. Basically the people that built Stonehenge were the same people who built the standing stones in northern France. I believe that these tribes just walked across the English channel at some point.

    Danny T

    When you look at the motifs of Green Man you see a face made primarily of leaves and other flora. It’s easy to see how a Bigfoot peeking through the foliage could later be depicted as Green Man has.

    Green man

    Knobby and mark T, It could be far fetched, but I imagine a Bigfoot has the ability to take almost any size log and use it to help them swim long distances. As long as they can stay afloat using one log, or more, the use of those powerful arms could paddle them long distances.

SC EP:373 Bob Gimlin Speaks Out

Bob Gimlin called me tonight and wanted to come on the show to talk about what happen at the 50th Anniversary of the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film. Bob has always been there for me in the past and he knows he is always welcome to come on.

Below is my post from earlier in the week.

I so sorry to hear this. I normally avoid drama in the bigfoot world but how could the 50th Anniversary event for Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film go south like it did? Loren Coleman posted on twitter: “50th Anniversary event for Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film allegedly blows up when Bob Gimlin wasn’t allowed to speak.”

    I am so sorry that Bob was so
    disrespected at that conference.
    Geez, that makes me mad. Bob
    is a good, kind, and honest man and
    he should have been treated with the
    respect he deserves.
    Glad you had him on SC to
    let him tell what happened.
    Good show, Wes.

    • F S

      I am 9 min in and it is apparent that a huge disconnect occurred. (With the political climate at the moment, SC is my safe space and those are the shows I love.)
      Mr. Gimlin and his manager don’t want him filmed. Okay.
      The people putting on the event wanted to film all of their conference. Understandable and reasonable.
      This should have been worked out beforehand. In this age of technology, isn’t filming part of any event?
      I am saddened that this was a missed opportunity ON BOTH SIDES – even for Mr. Gimlin. I heard him and his manager working hard to promote the event for months.
      50 years of experiences can’t be crammed into any one presentation or conference.
      I am sorry this happened.
      Hopefully it is a learning experience for all, and the relationships can be healed.
      God has blessed Mr. Gimlin with a loyal friend in Wes.
      Good luck to all.

      • Wes Germer

        I wish Bob had a better phone. I need to show him how to use Skype. You are right Eddie and Tony…there is a lot of people you can crap on in the bigfoot world but Bob is NOT one of them. I was actually going to attend the OH Bigfoot Conference…not anymore.

        • Nick V

          That one guy is an idiot Wes. Please don’t let that ****ole represent the Bigfoot folks in Ohio. We’re not all like him. The “grass roots “ Bigfoot community is strong. Many people I could introduce you to who don’t do it for show. Sorry Bob that you were put through that. You have my respect sir. Gettem’ Wes!

  2. Marlene M

    I’m so sorry Bob that this turned out to be such a fiasco! I really understood the confusion, betrayal, doubts, and chaos in your head when you replay the events over and over again in your head just trying to make sense of. It all. The reason it still haunts you is simple… You are normal… These people are not! It doesn’t make sense to you ‘BECAUSE IT SHOULDN’T MAKE SENSE TO YOU!!

    IF there is one thing I’ve learned over my 66 years, is that if you are a self reflective person and people are accusing you of absurd, incorrect, inaccurate and somehow demonizing your intentions, it’s an exact reflection of what they are themselves guilty of. They are transferring their shitty (excuse my language) ass attitude onto others so they don’t have to face their demons! Their true intentions are reflected in their false accusations. I hope that makes some sense to you.

    Anyway .but whatever you do..whatever rumors, gossip, interpretations and opinions that will be flying all around you the next few months. Just whisper under your breath THEY CAN ALLKISS MY ASS!!

    sorry about that.. I really am a lady… But personally speaking.. Those few words really help put the whole “encounter” (little play on words there..) into perspective.

    Laugb as much as possible because the entire affair was actually a tribute… in reality… to the crap you’ve been putting up with most of those years. Think of it that way… I was a tribute… It was to honor the same old nonsense most of those years created for you!! Send them a thank you note instead.. It was a true tribute thanks to them!! Take care.. Marlee in San Francisco…

    Thank you Wes for having Bob on. I believe you are correct, what happened was all due to jealousy and ego. I am so upset that Bob was so hurt. I don’t blame him one bit for being angry. When friends do this to someone it causes so much hurt. This conference was to honor Bob period. I’m so glad Bob said he would not attend the Ohio Bigfoot Conference. I hope others will follow suit. Thanks again Wes for being such a good friend to Bob.

    James Fay > “Thom Cantrall , We all agree there’s no good excuse for Bob not talking, but why that happened was explained by Terry. Tom Yamarone told the AV operator to kill the mic not on Bob, but on Marc DeWerth who was feverishly auctioning off donated items, the highest valued of which were donated by Marc. The silent auction wasn’t garnering bids anything close to the value of the items and Marc knows as the organizer of the biggest, longest running, and most successful bigfoot conference in the world that a live auction gets a much better price. And due to only 50% of Saturday’s tickets being sold there was a huge shortfall of funds and Marc was doing his best to close the gap so everyone could be paid what was promised. Tom was going to let Bob say a final thank you and good night but the AV guy had already started putting away the equipment. Terry offered to pay for an extra hour at 930pm which the supervisor agreed to but at 945pm the GM came in and said “no, turn off the sound”. Bob was outside talking with people when there was a 1 to 2 minute period where he could’ve said a final “Thank you” and unfortunately the short window was missed. If we had known that there wasn’t an hour left he would have definitely been prioritized. Bob and Tom are all good now and he regrets he said what he said when he was put on a live video while he was worked up. Everyone just wants to put this all behind and move forward. While there were problems with the conference everybody did the best they could. And Terry and Amanda put in countless time and energy to put this all together and did a great job, especially when you take into consideration it was the 1st time they had ever organized one.”

    • Janet P

      Tracy. 1-2 minutes that Bob could have spoke. You have to be kidding me! They should have had Bob speak earlier in the program then. Bob was so hurt and I don’t blame him. Broke my heart. He was the main attraction that brought people there in the first place. And then to refuse him any payment for expenses. Absolutely outrageous!

  5. Sherri M

    Thank you, Wes, for giving Bob a chance to talk it out. You both have hearts of gold! I’m ever so thankful to have met you both, & look forward to the next time. And thx to Russ for all he does for Bob as well. Really look forward to the future movie!!

  6. Melissa K

    Thank you Wes for letting us know the truth from Bob himself.
    I am so sorry this happened to Mr. Gimlin. He is so well loved and respected. I hope he knows so many people are appalled at the thought that he would be slighted in any way especially from someone in the BF community.
    Wes you and Bob are class acts that we at SC love ❤

  7. Jon W

    Imagine having a Christmas tree exposition and you can’t mention Santa Clause.
    Sounds like Mark’s future conferences are going to be empty.

    Happy Birthday Bob and thanks for the film!

  8. pam

    Of all of this, the thing that burns mr most is that Bob and wife have been sending money to help the guy out.
    Which is honorable; however, you have to think on this a bit- would you accept it from Bob, knowing him and his situation?
    The man knew Bob, very well and knew whether he could reasonably afford to do so; did it bother him then, that an 86 yr. old man and wife
    were sending $500 a mo. to help him? Did he think THEN that Bob was senile, that he should have someone “freeing Bob” from his money?!I
    Obviously Bob and wife are of sound mind, capable of handling their business as they choose.
    If they want to give their $ away it is THEIR business.
    If Russell A. was doing bad business with Bob AND WIFE, ( remember she is his partner, so is also aware of any deals, schemes etc. and certainly would sound an alarm for f any harmful crud was going on!) – if he was decieving
    them , with all this publicity going on how could he hide it?
    Ok, I am getting off my high horse and saying “Well done Bob and Russell and Wes!”

  9. Jeffery E

    Wes – I was planning to attend the Ohio BF Conference too. Cambridge is my birthplace and I grew up running around Salt Fork in the 70’s and 80s. Not anymore! Screw those guys. It’s like telling Neil Armstrong he can’t speak at the 50th anniversary of him walking on the moon.
    I would be happy to start a new bigfoot conference where Bob Gimlin is always the feature speaker – let me know… I would call it “The Gimlin Conference”.

  10. Cindy W

    I am so mad at what I’m hearing I want so bad to lash out but I’m a Southern Belle and my mama taught me better. I was taught at an early age and still believe to treat your elders with respect and to stand up to idiots! I’m so glad Bob is on here telling the truth. Bob you are the most honest, down to earth person I’ve ever heard on air. Thank you for being you. I so hope all of this doesn’t keep you down cause you are must better than all of them put together!! Love you Bob!! Thank you Wes – as usual, you rock!!

  11. Shelly S

    I am glad you had Mr. Gimlin on to speak. This whole thing made my stomach hurt when I first saw the live with Russel and him on their way home. Everything has been said. I’m happy that you, this show, Mr. Accord and Mr. Gimlin have so much integrity. Looking forward to going to the IBC next year for a drama free, informative and great time!

  12. Amy H

    Wow! What I think is Bob’s the ” star ” so to speak. People want to be around the star and close to him. Sounds like ole Tom feels Russel is now Bob’s better buddy. Boo-hoo Bob is hanging out with this other guy and Bob likes him better…boohoo. Unbelievably petty. Grown men acting like groupies at a rock show. He’s mine..no he’s mine, I was here first…. You can’t even make it up.
    Then there’s Bob caught in the crossfire. The guy is just trying to live an honorable life. He happened to become a “star” in a field of meteors. It’s probably a curse in many ways being the guy who filmed the best Bigfoot footage to-date.
    What character Bob has. He’s been through so much over this film. He gets knocked around but comes back wiser. He’ll be in the history books and it won’t mention hide nor hair of any of these suck fish milling around.
    If we ever wanna see honor demonstrated, look no farther then Bob Gimlin. He is a treasure. He’ll always be our hero for not backing down about the truth!

  13. laura t

    This so sad bob had to deal with this, just so sad, I cant believe these grown men act like high school kids, looks like this guy wanted to run bob for money, that’s the painful part.. I hope to meet you bob this is on my bucket list, maybe one day

  14. Lee F

    You are simply awesome. You are a good man. Turning you & your brother’s traumatic event into easing the pain & suffering of others after their traumatic event – weather it be a horrific Sasquatch encounter or at the hands or deeds of another human. You are patient, kind, unassuming and non-judgmental – that makes you a joy to listen to. This show illustrates that, as do many countless shows where you have sincerely offered your personal help to a witness who was obviously in emotional stress over the retelling of their encounter.
    My personal hope is that you not only gain some relief yourself in your work, but that you profit greatly in your enterprise – there is no shame in earning a good living, and I am proud to support you.

    Just wanted you to know.

  15. Tamsin D

    Dear Bob,

    I thank God Wes gave you this time to set the record straight! I always listen to SC while feeding my horses and cleaning stalls. On Wes’s blog I saw a video for you, I thought sweet and pushed play. I didn’t even get close to the barn. I stood in complete disbelief. Went straight to comments ( the whole time the livestock is screaming at me because I broke the routine) wanted to add my comment, but thought better of it, because I was so angry.

    I wish I could go horseback riding with you and visit, not to talk about Bigfoot, but horses.
    Please know you are loved and respected by many!
    …… and thank you Wes for giving this living legend a voice.

    PS. I wouldn’t let Bob’s best horses drag to Judis next conference. ?

  16. Tamsin D

    Dear Russ,
    The most ruthless creatures are not always those in the woods, but those that would betray a friend;
    Bob was one. So glad you and Wes have his back!
    I’m sure your still pulling the knifes from yours.

    As my dad would say, “ Upwards and onwards “.
    I’m so looking forward to your documentary on
    Mr. Gemlin.
    Thank you. ?

  17. Jan D

    Not sure why the so-called bigfoot community is such a treacherous place. Just know that the man who collected the most important evidence for the existence of this creature, for whose sake a film was made and an event organized, should be honored and at keast able to speak. When you add to that the nature of the man himself—as true and good-hearted a soul as you’ll ever find—it makes it all the worse.

  18. Paul T

    WTF? Disrespect Bob? Are you serious? Pantera said it best 5 Minutes Alone. I stick to myself and don’t coment on anything been a member for a long time but I will never ever respect any of those people again.

  19. Scott B

    Of film or not, this man deserves respect. The last member of the greatest home movie ever should not have to put up with this greed and jealousy. God Bless Bob Gimlin! Prayers from Ohio Bob!!

  20. Melinda G

    Wes, I was very blessed to meet both you and Bob at the IBC this year. You two are at the very top of the list of honest people in this bigfoot world. I have always been very careful on who I trust on this subject. Their are way to many snakes. Thank you for being a great example to everyone else who can’t play nice in the sandbox. Thank you for all you do.

  21. Darrell O

    Thank you Wes and Bob! I won’t rehash what everyone else has said. I understand certain technical difficulties can occur. I was standing next to Bob at the Willow Creek Bigfoot celebration when they were having a Bigfoot calling contest. Bob was very humerus because he obviously wanted to make a call, but commented on being nervous. He finally decided to make a call just as the event was ending. I yollered that there was one more contestant, but Moneymaker, Cliff, Bobo and Renae went different directions and the film crew immediately disbanded. It was obviously not an intentional diss on Bob, just bad timing.

    However on the 50th anniversary of the P&G film, Bob should be honored at every opportunity!!! One mistake like I described above could be be understandable. However listening to Bob it sounds like he was screwed at every turn. It is one thing to have a bad experience at a conference, but at the 50th anniversary??? Come one! This is Bob freaking Gimlin!!! Without Bob there is no 50th Anniversary!!!

    Thank you Wes for providing a platform for Bob. I have only met you once Wes, but listening to your show makes me feel like I know you. I have only met Bob a few times and the conversations were brief and not likely memorable to Bob, but huge to me. What a classy and likable guy! So I guess what I am trying to say is thank you Wes and thank you Bob. Classy guys in a cutthroat Bigfoot community.

    To any members here who have not met Wes, Bob or Woody, they are the nicest and coolest guys! Thanks fellas

  22. Amy H

    Remember, there wouldn’t have been a 50th anniversary without Bob! I have yet to see another film that could have captivated and dramatically changed the life’s of many people in the BF community as the Patterson/Gimlin film has done. The trajectory of those jerks life’s at the conference was done, in large part, by his film!!! He made their quests more valid. His film likely provided relief to those who encounteried BF, thought they were alone or crazy, then either remembered or found out someone had actually filmed one! His film is much more then footage, evidence, or proof, it likely saved some from a mental collapse. The lack of respect is amazing.
    These people seem like the kind of people who’d slap their own mothers. Some weird cognitive dissonance in their heads!

  23. Gregg S

    Sad to hear the hurt in Bob’s voice especially being so late in his life. Hasn’t he suffered enough disrespect regarding this subject ? 1-2 minutes reserved for Bob…. what a joke. How about 1-2 hours. they should be ashamed but that’s beyond their capability. What a treasure to have him around still telling THE encounter. God bless you Bob and thanks for getting his back Wes.

  24. Janeda E

    Thank you so much Wes, how dare they do this to Bob? I was really interested in going to Ohio til now. I also had a friend in the community relate issues they had with the same people. Not putting my money in their direction. I’ll spend my money and head up your way to the “Poker Bigfoot Conference”. It may be further away from TX but well worth it. Thanks again, keep up the good casts.

  25. Charles W

    FIRST THING! I want to THANK Bob for all he has done in his life for bigfooting. Without him and Mr. Patterson, we would be nowhere near where we are today.

    SECOND, HOW DARE ANYBODY DISRESPECT THIS FINE GENTLEMAN. I know it will never happen, but, I would love to be able to just sit and talk, and, above all, listen to him talk about whatever comes into his head. He sounds like the people I was raised around. Long on COMMON SENSE, and just a plain, no frills, ‘What you see is what you get,” type of person.

    My best wishes to Bob, and YOU, Wes, for all you have done, and continue to do.

  26. Scott D

    Screwing over Bob is shameful to begin with. However, doing it on such an important event is even more criminal! These ass hats that did this should be grilled and then totally boycott ANY events they create. I’ve met Bob and Russ a time or two and both guys are good old boys! I support them all the way!

  27. David J

    It was good that you had Bob Gimlin on Wes. It let him get his side of the story out instead of him having to respond to or dispute anything those jerks could put out there to harm Bob. I have no doubt that Bob is telling the truth about what happened. Why would he lie our act contrary to his character. I have the utmost respect for Bob Gimlin and for you too, Wes.

  28. Jim C

    GOD bless him! I’m so impressed with Mr. Gimlin, turn 86 and still riding horses and working, simply incredible for his age, blessed with amazing genetics/health. My wife works with the elder, assistant living/nursing home with people several years younger than Mr. Gimlin, sadly, with severe health issues. Then I see/hear Mr. Gimlin and he appears great! I’m sure he has his days a little tired/stiff etc. but still so active and mentally clear, again, simply incredible! I hope the Good LORD blesses you for many more quality years, Ride On Bob!

  29. Eric B

    Wow……… after hearing that he had insurance all along. I’m SO Glad I did NOT contribute to the sham money grab they concocted for Yamarone’s stroke. What a tool!
    I bet he writes another horrible song about it !!!

  30. Rita G

    I don’t normally comment, but I couldn’t keep quiet on this one. Bob Gimlin should not have been mistreated and shown such disrespect. He is always such a gentle soul.
    It is heartbreaking to hear the hurt in his voice. Tom Ameritech and Mark DeWerth have made their Mark in the Bigfoot community and will be remembered – as the asshats who disrespected Bob and ruined what should have been a celebration on the 50th anniversary of the Patty film.
    Wes, once again, you show what a decent guy you are and a good friend. You have a very compassionate nature and good instincts. You did a great thing for someone very deserving. ????????

  31. Stacey S

    That’s just terrible that Bob was treated so badly! He’s such a kind person and has never said a bad word about anybody and has been through so much crap. He deseserves more respect than that. There wouldn’t even BE any Bluff Creek footage without him! I hope those jerks apologize to Bob.

  32. Lance M

    How can anyone disrespect this gentleman? I’ve never met him but I’ve listened to and watched a lot of things over the years and he seems to be one of the most genuine and nicest people you’d ever want to meet. This kind of thing makes my blood boil!

Social Issues, Theology

When social justice is controversial

I never thought I’d see a day where, of all things, social justice becomes an issue of controversy among Christians. In an official statement published by a group of conservative evangelicals, heralded by pastor John MacArthur, social justice is “a distraction from the gospel”:

“Evangelicalism’s newfound obsession with the notion of ‘social justice’ is a significant shift — and I’m convinced it’s a shift that is moving many people (including some key evangelical leaders) off message, and onto a trajectory that many other movements and denominations have taken before, always with spiritually disastrous results.”

Of all the issues to argue about, you would think this one — as it pertains to taking care of widows, orphans, the sick, impoverished, and marginalized — would be a no-brainer.

But I knew there had to be more to this issue than a few lines of click-baity titles on Google, so I did some digging. And I understand the opposing position a bit more now (much as I disagree with it).

Some Christians, like the ones who wrote the aforementioned “statement,” believe that social justice is being used to support positions they see as unbiblical (like abortion and gay rights, for example). Other Christians (of a more progressive variety) see social justice as the new litmus test for faith: if you’re not out there protesting, carrying signs, or canvassing, then you’re not a True Christian because you’re not loving others like Jesus did. Conservative Christians retort that such believers are trying to earn salvation through good works rather than faith alone.

Here’s where it gets complicated for me:

My family’s Jewish faith is all about social justice. Tikkun olam — “mending the world” — is what being a good Jew is all about. Being religious doesn’t particularly matter; keeping kosher doesn’t really matter. But if you’re committed to making the world a better place, you’re Jewish-ing right.

Because Judaism doesn’t have a lot to say about the afterlife (at least, nothing consistent anyway), this world is the priority. So I guess you could say that learning to place my hope in something I cannot see has been a challenge. Because in Christianity, our future is with Christ. Christians know, deep down, that this world can’t ever be set right. That doesn’t mean we should stop doing the gritty but necessary work of justice, but when it comes down to it, the real hope of reconciliation is in the next life. Not this one.

I’ve had lots of talks with God over the years to try and accept that justice, for me, will most likely not happen here on earth. The thought of my rapist walking free drove me to alcoholism. And he’s just one of billions of people (I hope that number is an exaggeration) throughout history who committed evil without ever being held accountable.

I’m still just as passionate about social justice in my Anglican life as I was in my Jewish one. I firmly believe that it’s a critical part of living out the gospel. But my perspective in doing so has shifted.

The ultimate source of my peace is not dependent on what happens here, in my city, state, or country. Rather, it is dependent on a risen Lord who defeated death and turned suffering on its head. And that knowledge is what keeps me from sinking into irreparable despair when another innocent black man is murdered, when a mysterious pandemic spreads across the planet, or when evil-doers are allowed to walk free.

I am grieved, of course. At the same time, I know this is not the end.

I’ll never stop caring about justice. But ultimately, my hope for redemption lies elsewhere.

Emotions and learning: Parenting for academic success

Concerned parents frequently ask how they can help their children become smarter, more successful learners. The surprising news is that research in the area of human emotions provides a blueprint for the kinds of parenting techniques that increase children’s intelligence!

Because of the way the brain is wired, emotional states run our lives, whether we like it or not. Emotional states are constantly in flux, and are easily influenced.

Learning occurs when brains grow new cells in response to the environment. Emotions such as pleasure and joy encourage brain cell development. When children are happy and level-headed, they learn and remember more.

Unfortunately, stress hinders brain cell creation. Circumstances that your child finds unpleasant, fearful, and out of his control produce a stress state in the body. Chronic stress reactions release chemicals that impair memory, reduce blood flow to the brain’s behavioral control centers, and cause atrophy of the brain’s nerve cells.

Interestingly, certain brain chemicals such as dopamine stimulate intelligent behavior. Your child’s brain releases dopamine in response to pleasurable circumstances. The brain doles out dopamine in response to concrete rewards such as ice cream. But even more importantly, the brain releases dopamine in response to intangible things such as security, recognition, success and passion.

Dopamine travels to the front of the brain where it influences skills essential for learning. The frontal lobes of your child’s brain are largely in charge of critical skills such as paying attention, recognizing and discriminating critical features, and decision making, all of which are essential for intelligent behavior and school success.

Parents can use the tendency of the brain to respond to pleasure by helping their child to find joy and success in learning. When learners are interested in a subject, they are more attentive and try harder. Furthermore, students who are inspired to learn for their own reasons have the full support of the brain’s chemical system.

We now have scientific evidence to back up our intuition that helping children believe in their own intelligence, talents, and abilities will help them excel academically! As thoughtful parents, we have always known this. Students who believe they can perform well on academic tasks outperform students who do not believe in their own abilities. When children believe they can learn, they study more, and their study efforts are more skillful and effective.

Kindling interest and passion is much more beneficial to your child than pointing out ways in which performance is lacking. When children repeatedly view their behavior as flawed, their future success is diminished. Alluding to failures sours inspiration, blocks the release of dopamine, and decreases the opportunity for your child to be brilliant.

Parenting for academic success also means that we support our children when we encourage them to believe that they can have interesting, fulfilling futures. Students who know that success is “in their sights” make wise choices. They gravitate more toward intellectual activities than do students who doubt their opportunities. Talk with your child about future goals. Explore possibilities. Kindle passion and purpose. Demonstrate your faith in success. Never be discouraging about your child’s chances of victory!

Multiprotein HIV type 1 clade B DNA and MVA vaccines: construction, expression, and immunogenicity in rodents of the MVA component.

Journal Article (Journal Article)

Recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) expressing SIV or SHIV Gag-Pol and Env, alone or in conjunction with a related DNA vaccine, effectively controls immunodeficiency virus infections in nonhuman primates. Here we describe the construction, characterization, and immunogenicity of MVA/HIV 48, a candidate HIV-1 clade B Gag-Pol-Env vaccine. A novel transfer vector was designed to allow the incorporation of HIV genes regulated by vaccinia virus promoters together with a reporter gene into a single site in the MVA genome and to automatically delete the reporter after the initial isolation of the recombinant MVA. MVA/HIV 48 contains chimeric HIV-1 HXB-2/BH10 gag-pol sequences, a deletion of integrase, inactivating point mutations in reverse transcriptase, and HIV-1 ADA env sequences with a truncation of most of the cytoplasmic domain to enhance expression on the plasma membrane. Cells infected with MVA/HIV 48 expressed HIV proteins, which were processed to the expected size. The Env was inserted into the plasma membrane and was functional in a CCR5 coreceptor-dependent cell fusion assay. Moreover, virus-like particles were released into the medium and budding particles containing Env were visualized by immunoelectron microscopy. Rodents that were immunized with MVA/HIV 48 produced antibodies, which neutralized a heterologous HIV-MN strain, and Gag-specific CD8 T cells.

Perceived Ideological Distance and Trust in Congress

Justin H. Kirkland, Kevin K. Banda

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Objectives: We evaluate whether citizens’ trust in Congress is influenced by perceptions of ideological distance between themselves and their representatives. We argue that citizens view members as the “face” of Congress, and thus trust the institution more when the face of that institution is more ideologically proximal to themselves. Methods: We test our hypotheses using responses to survey questions regarding both trust in Congress and perceptions of ideological distance between respondents and members of Congress in the 2008 and 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study. We then pair these observational survey data with a survey experiment administered by Qualtrics in 2016. Results: Ordinal logistic regressions from our survey data evince strong empirical support for our arguments, showing that as perceived ideological distance between a respondent and her member of Congress increases, trust in Congress as a whole declines. These observational analyses are corroborated by our survey experiment, which again shows that as perceptions of ideological distance increase, trust in legislatures declines. Conclusions: Our results suggest that a lack of faith in legislative institutions is often the result of a failure of representation. One way to restore Americans’ trust in Congress is for members to demonstrate more fidelity to the ideological leanings of their constituents.

Let it snow… on Mars

NASA made another discovery about Mars recently, and it’s not from that little vehicle rolling around the rocks and craters at the moment.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has found a 500-km wide cloud pouring snow down on the planet’s southern cap. Parts of the cap are covered with snow anywhere between a few feet to more than a mile deep.

But aside from the fact that it’s on an alien planet, there’s something else fundamentally different about this snow. It’s made from carbon dioxide molecules, not water. Because the polar ice cap on Mars reaches -125 degrees Celcius, the CO2 is able to freeze into small particles within the cloud, then fall to Mars’ surface.

To put the temperature of the snow into perspective, to touch it would give you instant frostbite. In fact, you’ve probably already seen the somewhat volatile quality of frozen CO2 when exposed to our atmosphere during kids’ Halloween parties or grade school science experiments – it’s dry ice.

Scientists have known for a while that the southern cap of Mars is covered in dry ice, but they’ve never seen it actually snow until now. It’s also a relatively rare phenomenon; Mars is the only planet we know of in our solar system that has carbon dioxide snow storms.

It also might be a bit of an anomaly to the planet itself. On the opposite pole, NASA’s Phoenix lander found water-based snow in 2008.

So what does this mean? Nothing, yet. But it is a new chapter in the increasingly interesting saga of life (or non-life) on Mars.

A three-part Industry Development webinar series

Screenworks, in partnership with leading screen industry experts Media Mentors, is excited to be delivering a brand new series of three online webinars covering key aspects of TV and film development.

These online sessions are designed to give screen creatives a range of industry-relevant practical tools to help them find and develop screen content ideas, create compelling and sellable stories and characters, and identify potential audiences, platforms and funding for their projects.

The sessions will be run by Esther Coleman-Hawkins and Denise Eriksen who together have a vast wealth of practical experience in the screen industry and an excellent track record in assisting creatives to find their way in this challenging and exciting sector.

The series will run weekly from late November 2021 as follows:

Webinar 1 – Finding And Developing An Idea (Weds 24 November 2021, 2pm – 3:30pm AEDT)

Sit still for 10 minutes and you’ll probably have at least 3 ideas for a creative project. But how do you pick which one to do? And once you’ve picked it, how do you turn it from an idea into a program? Using a template we’ll walk you through the process of selecting, researching and developing an idea.

Webinar 2 – Story, Characters and Creative Vision (Weds 1 December 2021, 2pm – 3:30pm AEDT)

You’ve got an idea, but is it a story? Does it have a defined beginning, middle and end? Can you communicate it in less than 100 words? Learn how to define your story and interrogate the ‘journey’. We’ll also cover characters and their development and your creative vision for the idea.

Webinar 3 – Audiences, Platforms and Funding (Weds 8 December 2021, 2pm – 3:30pm AEDT)

Once you’ve started to develop your idea you need to be influenced by the world around you – specifically the audience, the platform they’ll see your project on, and the funders. Learn about developing your team, iterating your idea to meet the market and how to see the potential in your story for spin-offs.

Each session will be approx 1.5 hours with an opportunity to ask questions during the live webinars.

NOTE: Closed captioning is available for this video, however, please note that it was auto-captured during the recording by Zoom and may include some errors. If you have any issues, please contact us at info@screenworks.com.au.

Microsoft Developers | Scriptation helps shift entertainment industry off paper scripts

This article was originally published by Microsoft.

Though the viewer never sees it, countless script iterations go into watching an actor deliver the perfect line. Every aspect of TV and movie productions is laid out in scripts, which, as filming gets underway, are rewritten, rearranged and reprinted. For a 30-minute TV episode, crews can churn through thousands of sheets of paper daily.

Enter stage right, Scriptation—an intuitive, script-revision solution that’s fully digital. The app leverages Ink and Fluent Design with Windows 10 to provide a paperless experience for Hollywood. The Note Transferring feature in Scriptation allows crew members to mark up a script in the app, and when a new version is sent out, Scriptation transfers every note to its corresponding location in the new draft, in seconds.

“We interviewed members of every production department to see what it would take to make the switch to digital,” said Steven Vitolo, CEO and creator of Scriptation. “When I explained the concept of Note Transferring, every user was on board.”

“Fluent Design brings incredible visual reactions: transparent textures, acrylic materials, and responsive layouts. In the end, Fluent Design and Ink enabled us to create a better-than-paper solution that finally got production crews to go digital.”

—Felipe Mendez, CTO of Scriptation

Annotating scripts made easy with Ink

Scriptation empowers crews with efficient note-taking by leveraging the Ink capabilities of Windows 10. While viewing scripts as PDFs, crew members use a stylus or their fingertips to write notes, draw, highlight, and add free text. The app also allows users to attach images and voice recordings.

An entire production team benefits from these annotation tools: Directors can make notes and sketch drawings, writers can pencil in alternative jokes, and prop masters can highlight props they’ll need for a scene. These annotations can also be customized just for the individual. Using the Actor Highlighting feature, actors can easily highlight lines throughout an entire script with the tap of a button.

Using Scriptation on a Surface allows production teams to utilize the Surface Pen and Dial. The Surface Pen enables effortless markup, as users can strikethrough words similar to the way they would intuitively cross things out, and circle text that can be attached to handwritten notes. Using the Dial in one hand and the Surface Pen in the other, users can easily access shortcuts, controls, and tools. The Surface Dial can be used to scroll through script pages, undo/redo annotations quickly, and toggle through annotation colors.

“I’ve been wanting to go digital for years, but it wasn’t until Scriptation that I could,” said Billions actor Rob Morrow. “As an actor and a director, I’m fastidious about marking up my scripts. Using Scriptation with the Pen makes it easy to go paperless. Not only is it simple and intuitive, but it’s incredibly fun to use.”

Modern UI constructed with UWP and Fluent Design

Removing paper from the script-revision equation not only enables efficient note-transferring across script versions, it also allows users to access scripts from any device. In Scriptation’s update to UWP, developers leveraged adaptive layouts of Windows 10 to dynamically change the UI in response to different screens or window sizes. For instance, when users access Scriptation on a large screen, the app adjusts its interface elements to make better use of the screen real estate. When it reaches small resolutions, the app responds with a completely different UI design tailored to the condensed screen or window size.

“We took advantage of the built-in break points for responsive design in UWP,” said Felipe Mendez CTO of Scriptation. “We know that crews will access scripts on everything from tablets to desktops—working at home and on sets—so Scriptation has to look and function the same across all devices.”

Scriptation developers leveraged Windows 10 Fluent Design to easily integrate modern features into the mixed device ecosystem. The Fluent Design System for UWP is a set of features and guidelines that influence the appearance, behavior, layout and scalability of apps across devices. Fluent UI features like light, motion and depth combine to enable compelling and intuitive experiences.

“UWP is a great tool to develop powerful apps, and Fluent Design made Scriptation even better,” Mendez said. “The features of Fluent Design are built into UWP, which makes it incredibly easy to implement and the results are stunning.”

Fluent Design allowed Mendez and his team to create user interfaces that adapt to any screen resolution, while maintaining a stylish and dynamic look, all with just a few lines of code. As a result, Scriptation on Windows 10 merges the best of paper scripts with the ease of digital. For instance, using the Acrylic feature, the Scriptation team incorporated a physical texture and depth for a seamless user experience.

“Fluent Design components bring incredible visual reactions: transparent textures, acrylic materials, and responsive layouts,” Mendez said. “In the end, we were able to achieve a bold and modern UI that incorporates light, depth, movement, and material for our Windows users.”

Family History

Family Journal

Take a look at these articles about our family members starting with HenryA Scudder of Horton Kirby, Kent, England.

Contact our Family Historian

Our Family Historian, Margery Boyden, is a skilled researcher who has extensive experience with the Scudder family history.

Scudder Ancestors in America

Interested in researching your ‘Scudder’ linage? Please visit our independently family supported genealogical records on Scudder Ancestors in America.

A Little History

The Scudder Association mission is to promote a bond of kinship, furnish support to specific medical hospitals and schools in India; support other charitable religious and educational activities, and research and publish our family history.

The Inspiration
s1The Association began in support of the missionary work of Reverend John Scudder, MD. (September 3, 1793 – January 13, 1855) who founded the first Western Medical Mission in Asia in Ceylon and later became the first American medical missionary to be commissioned. In 1836 John Scudder and Reverend Myron Winslow started a mission at Madras expressly to publish the Christian bible in the Tamil language.

Scudder Association Beginnings
notes (1)1912, on Washington’s Birthday, a group of descendants of Thomas and John Scudder of Salem, Massachusetts, organized the Scudder Association. Their objective was “the belief that the bond of kinship would prove strong enough to weld us into a powerful society, membership in which should be an inspiration to generation after generation of American Scudders and their descendants, wherever they may be found, the world over.”

The Family Historians
Over the years, a dedicated group of family historians increased the knowledge about the Scudder descendants. These researchers include and are not limited to Ed Soper, Nita Baugh, Roberta Kloos, Georgia Whitson, Dorothy Vaughn Scudder, and Dick Scudder. They created an extensive Scudder genealogy. This Scudder family association later joined with the Scudder Memorial Association, formed in 1911 “to erect, equip and maintain a hospital … to honor and perpetuate the missionary work begun in 1819 by the Reverend John Scudder, MD, and carried on by his descendants.”

Scudder Genaology of Westfield NJ Branch-39 copyToday that effort is  expertly carried on by Margery Boyden, our Historian. If you have any Scudder related history questions Margery can be contacted at  Contact The Historian.

Scudder Association Grants
Isabelle Scudder Farrington (1888-1989) was responsible for the Scudder Association grants to education as a result of the sale of the Chevy Chase School for girls, the source of grant funding. Theodore (Ted) Townsend Scudder was the founder of the investment firm known for the Scudder family of funds. Scudder Investments, was acquired by Deutsche Bank from Zurich Financial Services in December 2001. Ted, a past president of The Scudder Association, joined the two Scudder organizations and incorporated the current Scudder Association in 1938 in New York State, as a non-profit corporation.

Scudder Lineage from Kent, England

Rev Henry ScudderThe Rev. Henry Scudder, listed in the Dictionary of National Biography, was a brother of Thomas Scudder who emigrated to New England with his Family in 1630’s.  Henry was granted an M.A. at Christ’s College, Cambridge. In 1633 he was presented by the King to the living of Collingbourne Ducis, near Marlborough, Wiltshire.  He held Presbyterian views and in June 1643 was summoned to the Westminster Assembly of Divines.

Our association includes persons who can trace their lineage to three Scudders who came from Kent, England in the 1600s.

Thomas Scudder who arrived in Salem, Massachusetts by 1632
John Scudder, nephew of Thomas, who arrived in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1635
Elizabeth Scudder, niece of Thomas Scudder, who arrived prior to November 28, 1644, the date of her marriage to Samuel Lathrop in Barnstable, Massachusetts
Notable Scudders
The Scudders have a rich and honorable history.

Colonel Nathaniel Scudder MD, of Monmouth County, New Jersey, was the only delegate to the Continental Congress to die in battle in the American Revolution.
Reverend Dr. John Scudder, was one of the first American missionaries to India. He founded the Scudder Memorial Hospital and Nursing School in Ranipet, Vellore, India.
Reverend Dr. John and Harriet Scudder’s eight children who survived to adulthood all returned to India as missionaries. In fact, they are buried in Ranipet, Tamil Nadu, India at the Scudder Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Ida Scudder, born in India and granddaughter of Dr. John Scudder. In 1899, she was one of the first female graduates of Cornell Medical and  female doctors to be licensed in the United States.  She returned to Vellore, India, where she started a hospital and medical school, in 1902.  Today the Vellore CMC Medical Center is the second largest medical facility in India, treating over 8,000 patient a day.

Scudder Name

Scudder Stone copyThe origin of the name Scudder is unknown. But Scudders like to believe that their name comes from the nautical term “Scud” – to sail full speed before the wind”.

Therefore one who scuds is a Scudder.

Other possibilities include:

  • Scudder being a derivation from the Dutch, “Schutter”, shooter or marksman. Which may explain the 3 cannon balls on the crest.
  • Old English “Scutt”, which was an occupational name for a scout or spy. Also nickname for a swift runner.

Another less-likely definition is that the name derives from the Latin Scutari — shield bearer.

Patch_Edit origAccording to Burke’s General Armory, the coat-of-arms belonging to the Scudder Family is described as follows:

Gules on Fess or Three Pellets, in Chief as many Cinquefoils Argent.

Gules – or red denotes military fortitude and magnanimity. It is also the “Martry’s Color”.

Fess – A band, borne in the center of the shield; a military belt or girdle of honor.

Pellet – A Black Roundel, representing a cannon ball.

Chief – That which occupies the whole of the top and one-third of the total surface of the shield of arms. It, signifies dominion and authority. It has often been awarded for prudence and wisdom,as well as successful command in war.

The Scudder motto is “Nunquam Non Paratus” –  “Never Unprepared”.

Are you a Scudder?

The Scudder Association Foundation mission includes the research and publication of our family history. Over the past 100 years the inspiring, daring, heroic, amusing, swashbuckling, even glamorous stories of our relatives have been collected by devoted historians.

This paper describes a new model of multiple-valued immune network based on biological immune response network. The model of multiple-valued immune network is formulated based on the analogy with the interaction between B cells and T cells in immune system. The model has a property that resembles immune response quite well. The immunity of the network is simulated and makes several experimentally testable predictions. Simulation results are given to a letter recognition application of the network and compared with binary ones. The simulations show that, beside the advantages of less categories, improved memory pattern and good memory capacity, the multiple-valued immune network produces a stronger noise immunity than binary one.

Data modeling for data warehouse projects

Learn how to begin a data warehouse project and why creating a data model is an important step.

My company (in the aviation industry) has attempted to implement a new data warehouse initiative, delivering safety data to support its users' analytic and reporting needs. Before moving forward with yet another design effort (two have already failed), what would you recommend we do? We need a blueprint to build on.

The first question to ask at the beginning of a data warehouse initiative is what happened with the previous initiatives? A common problem is having too large a scope – trying to "boil the ocean" rather than delivering value to the users in iterative steps.

Building a data warehouse is also significantly different than developing a traditional online transaction processing (OLTP) application – sometimes teams try to follow the same software development lifecycle (SDLC) formula as for an OLTP application, which often doesn't work due to the nature of analytics. For example, a traditional OLTP application has a clearly defined end point (e.g. capture data via a screen), whereas data warehouses have to be more flexible to support the needs of analytics users that will vary over time – they often don't know what types of analysis they will need to perform down the road and so the data warehouse needs to accommodate rapid change.

As part of the requirements definition process, I strongly recommend developing conceptual data models in order to understand the business and to help scope the project. Too often, data warehouse modeling starts with the design models for the data warehouse itself, instead of modeling the business first in an entitry relationship (ER) diagram. Conceptual data models are business models -- not solution models -- and help the development team understand the breadth of the subject area being chosen for the data warehouse iteration project. It is also a tool to help validate your dimensional models (star schemas) that the business will query against.

I strongly recommend that you engage the services of a consulting company that specializes in data warehousing and has a proven track record, at least to help determine the roadmap and to establish a framework for building the data warehouse. Data warehouse projects typically have high exposure within the organization, and can deliver tremendous benefits – but are highly complex in nature.

Day 58: Pitlochry to Ardnamurchan

‘It reminds me of home’ – Britt, Strontian.

Home… where is home? Home this morning is in this rental car, parked on the outskirts of the eastern Highlands tourist village of Pitlochry, sat next to my younger brother, listening to country music on BBC Gael. Home is a conversation the previous evening with my wife, the intimacy of shared phrases, experiences and concerns that lovers have and know. A weekly phone call from my folks opens up a front door in my mind with a familiar carpet, a cat capering in the kitchen and the love and laughter of my immediate family. Drinks, jokes and banter in a small boozer with a gang of wizened geezers feasts the spirit with the pleasure of friends known and yet to know.

Home has no fixed location and needs no set of keys. Its security is not in alarms, fences or boundaries but in openness, generosity and just chancing it that wayward hello to a passing stranger.

As we rub our faces awake and share our yawns, a couple of locals wander by our parked car and say hi. We’ve probably been rumbled but there’s no problem here. Christy needs to get back to Fort William to start his journey home, so with a little reluctance we leave behind Pitlochry and head back east, passing through pretty Aberfeldy. The road is full of marvels. After Aberfeldy we sweep along a narrow road that presses the spectacular Loch Tay to our left, and the almighty Ben Lawers and surrounding mountain range to our right.

Days 56-57: Highlands by hire car

‘Life doesn’t give you a user manual’ – Christy, Fort William.

Christy and I awake refreshed in our chintzy bed and breakfast on the shores of Fort William. The hotel’s a dive, and we’re both restless to escape out of the town in some way. But with a sprained ankle, Christy’s not able to ride any bicycle. Walking will only get us so far, and we’ve drunkenly lost ourselves in the wilds of Glen Nevis a previous night. The rain is still insisting on its responsibility to soak we weary humans to the skin, and fierce winds are affecting nearby boats.

Over a Scotch breakfast (like a full English, but with potato scones, black pudding and Irn Bru…) we decide to hire a car. It’s the one way of leaving the town and exploring and, besides, it can cheekily double-up as a cheap place to sleep. With that plan, we phone around til we find a cheap enough car on the outskirts of Fort Bill. It’s strangely exciting. Forget those steep mountains and hills, forget the bloody awful weather… none of these can restrict our striving to explore these landscapes. With the most basic of plans to head north, we decide to get lost on a spectacular level, to find and immerse ourselves in some rocky and remote wilderness. With provisions packed, we head out onto the open road.

Whoosh! It’s a brand new car and my driver handles it with some speed. It takes getting used to. Twenty miles, the subject of two to three hours’ meditative cycling and day-dreaming, expires in equivalent minutes. But it’s an opportunity to test how these landscapes feel at different speeds. Much of the north-west Highlands seemed like it would be as beautiful in a car. There’s a vicarious pleasure in reading about another’s travails and toils breaking their bicycles up the steepest of hills and most remote of midgey crannies. Surely in a car it’ll be much easier?

Days 54-55: Fort William

‘It’s like a circus up there’ – man in tourist office, Fort William.

There’s far worse places to wake up hungover and aching than the foot of Ben Nevis. Intuition guided me to a good spot behind a large fug of ferns on a Glen Nevis back road. Rain is gently falling, horizontally as well as vertically it would seem, and a thick mist hangs over the head and dampens the ears. It’s no day for scaling peaks, but in the distance I hear groups of men in the distance visitor car-park psych themselves up with Maori-style chanting. I picture David Brent leading them on, clapping and leering.

I head into Fort Bill in anticipation of a special event. The Queen’s Baton relay will be passing through here, aye, on its long and meandering way to Glasgow, but it’s not that. My younger brother’s decided to come up here on a bit of a whim and see me for four days. He’s about to turn twenty six, and feels the need to leave the capital, even just for a few days.

Day 52: Mallaig to Glen Nevis

‘I think things are much more fragile than they seem. Poke at the right hole, and the whole thing could come falling down.’ – Ewan, Isle of Eigg.

I awake a little late in cheery Mallaig, a harbour town on the Scottish mainland. Disconcertingly, the sun is out already. Contrary to local wisdom, perhaps Scotland does have a summer?

It’s not long before I’m back in Mallaig harbour, boarding a small vessel with my bike that takes the twice-weekly journey to the isle of Eigg. This peculiar and remote island has a small community that was one of the first to buy back its own land. In the case of Eigg (pronounced egg), this was through a protracted struggle against an obnoxious and inconsiderate landowner Keith Schellenberg.
