Phineas Taylor Barnum was arguably the greatest showman of all time. He had a knack for finding and exhibiting unusual people, animals and a range of oddities, some of them hoaxes, such as the Feejee Mermaid.While the Barnum & Bailey Circus continues as a living testament to his talent for promotion, he was also a politician and journalist and enormously influential both here in the U.S. and in Europe during the 19th century. He could tomanipulate the press in ways that render today's spin doctors inept hacks.P.T. Barnum, as he was best known, was born in Bethel, Connecticut on July 5, 1810. After his father's death in 1826, rural life faded as his ideal, and he was drawn to the city lights of...
The Anatomy of Smoking in the UK
Tobacco was brought to Europe from the Americas at the end of the 15th century when it was thought to have medicinal qualities. Indeed, as late as the 1940s, tobacco companies used medical personnel such as doctors in advertisements to promote their particular brands of cigarettes.It was not until the 1950s that the dangers of smoking were firmly established but tobacco companies are now known to have gone out of their way to hide these facts from the public. It is now known that tobacco consumption causes, upwards of 50 other diseases including, lung cancer, bladder, mouth, nasal, lip and throat cancers, stroke, heart disease including arteriosclerosis (fatty hardening of the hearts blood vessels...
Finding the Perfect Cat or Kitten for You and...
Some people say they are exclusively "cat people," meaning they only want to have a cat as a pet. That doesn't mean that just any cat will be the right companion. When choosing a cat to be your companion, be certain to make the choice that will work best for both you and the animal.An athletic, highly energetic cat is fun to watch, but a cat can be a challenge to care for. A shy, sensitive cat probably wouldn't thrive in a home with lots of hullabaloo. The first step to choosing a cat is evaluating your lifestyle so you can find a cat with similar needs.Some people only want a purebred, while others take great delight in their basic domestic crossbreed. Hair length is another decision to be made...
Brazilian by Birth, Italian by Ancestry, and...
My biggest achievement and the happiest day of my life!One morning not really knowing why, I felt the need to find out more about my roots and my ancestors. To my surprise, once I started asking around, all I could uncover was my family name and little or no history regarding my ancestry. Before I knew what I was getting into, I was meeting relatives that I didn't even know existed, asking them questions about my great-grandfather, the late Salvatore Santoro. Nobody knew when he emigrated to Brazil or where he first arrived.One thing I found to be common among European families is that if something went wrong with a family member, such as a husband committing adultery and after years of heated...

Getting ready for a new baby can be exciting, exhausting, and exhilarating all at once. One of the most challenging obstacles for new parents can be choosing a baby name. A name will identify your child throughout their life, people will form opinions about your child based solely on their name, and the name you choose will also play a role in molding your child's personality and behavior. Learning baby name meanings is a good first step in narrowing your choices. Biblical and Hebrew NamesBiblical and Hebrew names are probably the most popular names in the United States. Michael is consistently one of the most popular name for boys. In 2004 it was second, with the other four top...

On 30 December 2005, Section 98 of the Adoption and Children Act 2002 came into force in England and Wales, giving birth relatives of adopted persons the legal right to use intermediary services to locate and attempt contact with their adopted relatives. According to the Act, birth relatives include the birth parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts of adopted persons. Section 98 also gives adopted adults the legal right to use intermediary services to locate and attempt contact with their birth relatives.Until the early 1970s, many unmarried mothers were forced by their families to place their children for adoption against their wishes. Section 98 gives these women and their...

How To Choose A Quality Mechanic Who Won't Rip...
Everyone knows that proper and regular maintenance is necessary to keep your automobile in good working order. Even though you may have worked on your own cars as a teenager or still consider yourself to be an amateur car repair specialist I recommend that you leave the work to a qualified mechanic who has been trained to do the job properly. This is especially important on higher end vehicle makes such as Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus where the maintenance records play a large part in determining the value of a vehicle when you decide to sell it or trade it.Deciding on a mechanic to entrust with caring for your vehicle is an important decision and should not be taken lightly. Finding the perfect...
Surely Not ALL Evils!
Surely, Not All Evils!(circa 2000)St. Paul wrote a letter to a young Christian, and said that the root of all evil is the love of money. (I Timothy 6:10) This is an amazing claim.Perhaps too much love for too much money we could go along with, or perhaps we could agree that it is the cause of some evils... maybe even a lot of evils. But to just come right out and say that all love for any amount of money is the cause of all evils is a bit much for most people to take.You only need to quote the verse as it is written, to get a reaction from the average churchgoer. Try it, and see if they don't say something like, "It's the love of money, mind you, not money itself." They then go on...
Family lineage is one of the most interesting topics for anyone to discuss because it is unique to each family. Finding everything from royalty to heroes in family lineage is exciting. Having a personal record of family lineage is a great treasure. Recently, the Latter-day Saint church provided Larry King with a copy of his family history during his evening TV show. King commented that although he had received many gifts during his life, he would cherish the gift of his family lineage above all the rest...

Social security death index. What is it? Containing around 65 million names and vital information of mainly deceased Americans, the SSDI is an extremely large and important database, especially for geneology enthusiasts.What sort of details are kept? For information to be archived in the SSDI, a death needs to have been reported, or, for example, a surviving relative may have contacted the Social Security Administration (SSA) seeking to stop the Social Security Benefits (SSB) of a parent.Social Security Death Records (SSDR) contain the following data on a deceased person:Last name First name Date of Birth Date of Death Where the last SSB was sent State of residence Where the SSN was...
How To Research Your Ancestors For A Family Tree
Genealogy has become a popular pastime. Searching for ancestors can be fun and an interesting way to learn about history. While looking for your ancestors you will learn about the time and place in which they lived. How politics, wars, and economics affected their lives. It will give you history on a more personal level.The easiest way to start your search is to interview your living relatives. Often there is one elder aunt, uncle, or grandparent that knows a lot of information about the family. The first questions to ask are dates of births, deaths, and marriages. In any family search this type of information is the most commonly found; these events that have been recorded somewhere outside the...
Beginning in 1790, the United States of America became the first country in the world to call for regularly held censuses. However, the Constitution didn't treat everyone as equal. "Free persons" excluded American Indians living on treaty land and who were exempt from paying taxes (or voting). However, any male Indian who had joined the voting and taxpaying (read: white) population became considered a "free person" and had the right to vote. "All other persons" meant slaves, who were counted as 3/5 of a person for determining representation in Congress. The 3/5 rule was to compensate for the large slave populations of southern states such as Virginia and South Carolina, where slaves represented 39...
Every Olympic athlete has at least one coach. The top ones hire their own personal coach.I've had my own mentor-coach in network marketing since 1991. One person actually once told me he thought it was a weakness for "people like you to admit that you need a coach to help you."A weakness???I replied that having a coach was (and is) one of the smartest things I have ever done.A coach keeps you accountable and focused. There are just soooooo many opportunities in MLM to get sidetracked. Pro athletes like Tiger Woods, Bobby Bonds, Peyton Manning, all the big stars, have several coaches. Each coach teaches their own specialty.How To Choose A CoachI've been married almost 35 years. If I wanted marriage...

The Armaments Industry and Holy (?) Roman Emperors
"The time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every movement to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money... The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long, will be made heavier and heavier." - Thomas JeffersonHenry Kissinger made a presentation to the Bilderbergs in Evian, France in 1984; wherein he spoke of the need for society to deal with the right wing...
American Family History
When delving into an American Family History, there are certain advantages and certain disadvantages to learning about the people who immigrated to a new country in the New World. There are usually a great many records of the people once they are in America, but collecting an American family history can often be difficult for certain regions and can be more difficult for learning about families before they left their native lands.When assembling an American family history, the first place to start is, of course, with the still-living relatives. They can provide a wealth of information about one's ancestors. As they have memories of parents, grandparents, and sometimes even great-grandparents...

pH and Health
The body is alkaline by design, but can be acidic by function. It functions at its best when the pH of its internal biochemical environment, measured as a whole, is equal to 7.39, meaning slightly alkaline. The normal range of blood pH is very small, from a slightly more acidic reading of 7.36 to a more alkaline reading of 7.42. A reading of anything higher or lower than these figures indicates acidity (from 7 to 7.35) or alkalosis (7.42 to 7.8). If these limits are exceeded, the body can no longer function, and death results.The zone of optimal blood health extends only from pH 7.36 to pH 7.42; illness will accompany any incidence of acidosis or alkalosis. Of these two, acidosis is by far the most...
White Man's Religion? NOT Christianity!
Christianity: White man's religion?Martin Luther King referred to Sunday as being "the most segregated day in America."Truer words were never spoken.A few years ago I was preaching and, Lord, help me, my opening words were, "Look around. What do you see? I see a church full of white people." The Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and others.... they'd all been there, but we had holes in our net and hadn't been able to keep 'em. Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is like a net, catching ALL kinds of fish..." (Matt 13:47) and that includes black ones, brown ones, red, yellow, Protestant and Catholic, young, old, male and female.As Americans, we often project an imperialistic attitude that the rest of the world...

By the end of the first half of the 19th Century, Russian intellectuals supported the need for reform in Russia. Russia had entered the age of capital development. Influenced by the liberal ideas of Chernyshevsky and Belinski, the Itinerant movement established the first Free Society of Artists in Russia. The founding of the Itinerant's movement was a measure calculated to express the need for rejection of the social order in Tsarist Russia. The objectives of the Itinerants were: - the enlightenment of the people by affording them the opportunity to learn about the new Russian art; - the aesthetic objective of forming a new artistic sense and taste; - the economic objective of attracting new...
Tracing Your Family History
Let me say straight away that tracing your family ancestry is a great hobby but very addictive, so unless you want to get well and truly hooked, don't start.When I travel around the country to Family History Fairs, I am amazed at the number of people who say quite cheerfully, "family history is so easy, I did mine in half an hour on the internet." If they are happy with that, then good luck to them, but for me, if I cannot prove it, it doesn't count.Family history is not about just collecting a pile of names and then trying to fit them all together like a genealogical jigsaw puzzle. You must start with what you know to be true and that is your birth certificate. On that will be the names of your...
Diversify Your Search for Single Women for Romance
Let's talk about a mistake a lot of men make, which I call, "Putting all your eggs in one basket."A good example is thinking that the only place you can meet women is at a nightclub or bar. So, you spend all of your time, money, and energy pursuing women in bars and nightclubs. And you find yourself not having much luck. But, you continue going back week after week like butting your head up against the wall. It's a continuous cycle of going there to meet women, but you go home all frustrated and horny.Always diversify your places to pursue women. Don't hang all your hopes on just one way or place to meet women. Try the personals, chat rooms, dating services, meeting women through friends, relatives...
The Serpent Grail and the Lady of the Lake
Is there a mystery here to be unravelled? Is there a serpent code being held by the Grail myths? Can we uncover this code by taking a look at the Lady of Lake? The answer is yes to all these questions, for held within the folds of the coiled snake we shall discover the truth of the origin of the Arthurian tales and the strange watery Lady who was to give Arthur his sword.There are various names attributed to the 'Lady of the Lake;' Nimue and Vivienne are the two most used, but most pertinent to us here is 'White Serpent.' Nimue is probably Mneme or Mnemosyne, who is one of the Muses or 'water nymphs' from Roman and Greek mythology and who gave out weapons - just as the Lady of the Lake did. Vivienne...
Family Tree - Discover the Fun and the Challenge
Have you ever tried to find an ancestor in your family tree? Maybe it was an ancestor like your great, great, grandfather on your father's side that moved to another country over a hundred years ago. Maybe it was a question posed by your daughter: "Where was Grandpa born?" "What country did Grandma Smith immigrate from?"Each of these questions may be very simple. Yet, when you start to search for your ancestors you never know what you will discover. Genealogy is the technical name for family tree research, but for many of us, family tree research is a great hobby that provides endless hours of fun and enjoyment that will last for generations. Families have been recording information about...
How Does A Diuretic Work For High Blood Pressure

There are two blood pressure levels which the experts consider as ideal.The usually accepted target is to reduce blood pressure to below 140/90. Some say it should be below 140/85. But with regards to the levels, your doctor will make the final decision, because he knows your medical history. You might have certain other complications, for which he has to give allowance and due consideration.The types of medications used to control blood pressure are many. Predominantly, there are five main classes of medicines that are used to control blood pressure. Each company may...
How To Buy Paintings For Relatives That They...
Are you thinking of buying a painting for a relative? There are some things you should know that will help to make your gift be better appreciated. There is more to buying a painting for someone than just the right size and color.One of the most important considerations when buying a painting for someone else is the content or theme of the painting. If the relative you are thinking of buying a picture for has a home that has modern furnishings a painting of the old west would probably be out of place. The opposite is true as well; a Picasso would look dreadfully out of place in a home furnished in early American or country decor.Of course you have to think about the size of the painting too, if the...

Finding Missing People is Far Easier than it...
Perhaps the best definition of 'missing' is 'not able to be found'. Looking for missing people can be a daunting, frustrating, and at times, thankless task. But, just because someone has gone missing doesn't necessary mean there is foul play involved. People go missing for all kinds of reasons and depending on how invisible they want to be can mean the difference of finding missing people or not. Having said that, Finding Missing People is far easier than it used to be thanks to power of the internet!There are 2 types of missing people: the vulnerable and the non vulnerable. A large percentage of folks who go missing will return safe and sound within 72 hours but there are still tens of...
Get Them Whilst They Are Still Alive!
If you are just starting your Genealogical Research it can be puzzling how to start! These are questions which from working with members of our Genealogy Websites over the year we have discovered are an excellent starting point for your research.If there is one piece of advice that every genealogist should take to heart it is make sure that you talk to the living members of your family before they become your ancestors!Here are a whole range of questions that the you can answer for yourself and may be able to use when "interviewing" family members. Part of the fascination of genealogy is not only finding out "where we have come from" but also "what it was like" when our ancestors were alive and...

Ever wanted to know a little more about yourself than you already do? I did so I put my name in a search engine and started an online background check of my past. It didn't take long before I was navigating through websites and I found out where and when I was born, where I had gone to school (did that seem like an age ago!) and surprisingly some of my previous employment history.I also found out that I had no criminal background worth mentioning (always good to know) and that my credit rating was ok. I found this quite satisfying and decided that online background searching was not only fun, but it could also be very rewarding!Now that I'd a little background checking under my belt it occurred to...

Have you ever seen a family pedigree? Names and dates in elegant script winding back through time. If you are like most people your family doesn't come with a ready made pedigree. If you love puzzles maybe it is time you delved into the world of genealogy and family history.

The Royal House of Aragon was founded by James I of Aragon ("The Conqueror") who reigned as King of Aragon 1213 - 1276. The Kingdom of Aragon was one of the small Christian states which arose in the Iberian peninsula following the gradual expulsion of the Moors, who had held sway in the area in the wake of their conquest of the old Visigothic realm of Spain in the eighth century.Peter III succeeded his father James I to the throne in 1276, and for many years the succession continued without problems. But when King Martin I (the Humanist) of Aragon died in 1410 he had no children to succeed him, and he had not named any successor. The only written law of succession was the Will of James I...
Genealogy / Family History
One huge advantage of knowing about family history is that sometimes it can help you to trace and pinpoint occurrences of illness.My father and two of my brothers had all died of heart attacks at a fairly young age. My dad and my eldest brother were in their forties, and my younger brother was just thirty two years old.In tracing back my paternal side of the family, I discovered that rarely did any of the males live beyond the age of forty four, and many had died of heart disease before they reached the ripe old age of forty. The females in the family line hardly ever suffered with any heart trouble at all.It occurred to me that the heart disease in the male line was too frequent to be coincidental...
Eating History - The Potato
This root vegetable is probably one of the most widely used vegetables in our modern world. It has come a long way from its air thin origins in the South American mountain ranges.Long before the potato reached the shores of the Emerald Isle, it was widely cultivated some 7,000 years before its introduction in Europe. The Western World didn't even come across it until about the mid-sixteenth century and it would not make it to the Old World for another couple of decades.This rugged tuber met resistance at first. The potato was thought to be poisonous due to the fact that it is a member of the poisonous "Nightshade" family. A green potato for example, contains a substance called "solanine" which...
Italian Renaissance Art Period and Artist History
This major cultural rebirth and revival began in Italy during the 1300's and spread throughout Europe until around 1650.Here are a few of the historical milestones during this period of great change.Lorenzo de Medici (MED-uh-chee) (1449-1492) was a prominent ruler of Florence, Italy who was also a strong patron of many great artists of that era:Sandro Botticelli created the well know painting: "The Birth of Venus".Leonardo Da Vinci created the paintings: "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper".Michelangelo sculpted "David" and "Pieta".

Olive Wood Craftsmanship and Herbes de Provence...
Olive wood from Europe is recognized as the premium wood to fashion gourmet wood cooking utensils. Research from the University of Wisconsin, has proved through tests, that wood is more hygienic than any kind of molded plastic. Wooden products are safer than plastic kitchen items because bacteria like salmonella cannot survive for more than three minutes on a wood surface, yet it will remain viable on or in a plastic equivalent.Kitchen utensils and kitchenware are made from European olive wood because of its high grade of durability. Olive wood carpentry and craftsmanship has been handed down from generation to generation, from family to family, in the Provence area of France. The Provence locale...
You've gone through the preliminaries.You've collected all your household vital records, interviewed relatives, gathered additional records from living relatives and followed-up on some of the leads that were developed. Now, you're stuck and not sure what to do next in your genealogy research.If you've worked your way far enough back, it might be time to start checking the Census.But first, you'll want to understand that while the Census Bureau collects some great genealogical information, it has the responsibility of confidentiality. As a result, the Decennial Census of Population and Housing on individuals does not become available to the public until after 72 years.That's why you have to have...

The Network Marketing "Spillover" Myth
A caller recently told me he's joining an MLM company because they promised him spillover. I said, "They are lying to you!"The guy called me back later and said, "I point-blank asked them if I'd get people put underneath me, and the guy said, 'Well, we can't guarantee that.'"Spillover - Creating a Welfare MentalityGood people want training, not welfare. They want to build it themselves. They just want to learn the skills they need to build their network marketing business and create residual income, money that's coming in week after week, year after year, and they can will it to their children's children.When you look at a lot of network marketing websites, you often see that word "spillover."

Celebrity Babies
Hollywood is full of paparazzi that want to get that perfect picture of a celebrity, so they can sell it to the media and make a lot of money. They will go to almost any length to achieve their goal. Most of the time celebrities are trying to stop the paparazzi from taking their picture, and they get mad when they are followed. Not only do the paparazzi want pictures of celebrities, but they also want pictures of their babies.I can understand, though, a celebrity wanting to have a private life, and not be bothered all of the time. However they are celebrities, so they should expect a certain amount of intrusion on their private lives. The worst thing a celebrity can do is to try to keep the...
