Did you know that you can compare your ethnicity with that of your DNA matches on Ancestry? In this post, learn how to do this in order to learn more from your DNA results.
In this post, I will explain how to access the ethnicity comparison between you and any given DNA match and what this might mean for your family tree research. At the very least, it will be neat to easily compare yourself with close relatives to really see ethnicity inheritance in action.
To Access the Ethnicity Estimate Comparison Feature on Ancestry DNA
The first step to compare your ethnicity estimate with that of your DNA match is to access your DNA match list. You can access your DNA match list from your DNA Insights page, or directly from the menu on the mobile site (the DNA Matches tab).
From your DNA match list, you should then scroll down to the match that you are interested in. To the right of their name, you will see two little blue circles that look like a Venn Diagram (and the word “compare”).
Click on this next to the name of the match that you would like to compare to yourself. In the image below, which is a list of my mother’s DNA matches, you can see myself and my sister on her list, and the red rectangle is around the place where you should click:
Once you click on “Compare”, you will then be taken to a new page where you and your DNA match are compared side by side:
If you scroll down further, you will see your ethnicity estimate percentages side-by-side, which makes comparison very easy. In the image below, you can see my own ethnicity estimate compared with that of my daughter (her ethnicity regions are on the left, and mine are on the right):
If you scroll down yet further, you can see whether or not you and your DNA match likely have ancestors with shared migration histories. The image below is from the comparison between myself and my mother. We share the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Lithuania shared migration. My mother has Polish and Slovak ancestors, and it looks like I inherited enough of the right combination of DNA from her that the migration pattern shows up in my DNA, too:
How can the Ancestry DNA ethnicity comparison tool help you with your research?
It’s probably obvious that this is a cool feature, and that your family members might be interested in seeing screenshots of you compared with your siblings and/or parents. But is this tool useful beyond entertainment purposes?
My opinion is that yes, in some cases, you might be able to use this tool in order to determine on which side of the family a DNA match might match you. I’ll use my mother’s DNA as an example.
My mother has 54% Europe East DNA (this number has actually gone down over the past year – read why your ethnicity estimate might change). One grandfather was the child of Polish immigrants, and her other grandfather was the child of Slovak immigrants.
Since we know that a child shares about 25% of their DNA with each grandparent, we can assume that her 54% Europe East was inherited approximately half from each grandfather (25% Polish, and 25% Slovak).
As I scroll through my mother’s DNA matches, I generally spend a significant amount of time trying to determine how they are related to my mother, and thus, to me. The most obvious way to do this is to take a peek at the family tree of the DNA match in question.
Sometimes, however, there is no tree. This is when ethnicity is helpful. Currently, I am most interested in my mother’s Polish ancestry. I have a great deal of information about all of the other lines of her family, except for the line of my mother’s Polish great-grandmother.
When I check out a DNA match, I can now immediate compare the exact percentage of Europe East DNA that they have. If they have a significant amount of Europe East DNA, and don’t share any other ethnicities with my mother, I can often continue my research on the assumption that this is how they “match”.
Of course, I have to call this a hypothesis, and carry out additional research in order to determine how they are truly related.
Note: This strategy is the most useful for closer DNA matches. For example, my mother had a close cousin DNA match pop up. She didn’t have a family tree, but I was able to tell from looking at the ethnicity comparison that they were very obviously related on the Europe East lines. Since my mom inherited Europe East from both her Slovak and Polish grandfathers, I still had to figure out which grandfather the cousin matched, but this eliminated half of the lines of my mother’s family. It makes things easier sometimes!
In the image below, you can see my mother’s DNA compared with that of her first cousin’s. Since we know that she and my mother share two grandparents, we would also know that each of them would have inherited about 25% of their DNA from each grandparent.
In the image below, you can see that the only ethnicity that they share in any significant amount is Europe East:
Don’t forget that the absolute best way to know how you are related to your DNA match is by comparing your family tree. If you haven’t started building your family tree yet, I would encourage you to consider starting one as soon as you can.
There are several other great Ancestry DNA features, like Common Ancestor Hints and AncestryDNA ThruLines, that are only available to members who have built their trees (and attached them to their DNA results).
You don’t need an Ancestry membership to build your family tree, or to have access to it, but it is easier to build it quickly and get access to pretty amazing records if you do have a subscription. To get a two-week free trial, please consider using the following link (I will get a very small commission at no extra cost to you if you end up subscribing, and it goes a long way in helping me support this website) Ancestry Free Trial .
I hope that this post helped you learn a little bit about this exciting Ancestry DNA tool, and how it might be able to help you learn how you are related to your DNA matches. If you have anything that you would like to add, a question, or would just like to share what you learned using this tool, I would love to hear from you in the comments.
Thanks for stopping by!


text: Gross domestic savings are generally very low in least developed countries such as Ethiopia. That paved the way for foreign investment to emerge as an alternative source of bridging the gap between savings and the required investment after 1992. Since foreign firms bring not only financial capital but also managerial techniques as well as entrepreneurial and technological skills, foreign direct investment (FDI) is regarded as one of the major components of Ethiopia’s economic growth over the past decade. However, it’s not all been rosy. Although initial investment by foreign firms improves the current and capital accounts of the host country, in the long run, repatriation of profit, interest, royalties and management fees may harm its foreign exchange position. This is exactly what is happening in Ethiopia. A minimum of USD1 billion is requested by locally operating foreign companies that repatriate profits annually. However, a fraction of this amount is availed by commercial banks operating in the country. This phenomenon traps foreign companies, forcing them either to wait for a long time to repatriate their profits or reinvest it as EBR’s Ashenafi Endale found out.

Interleukin-17 signal transduction pathways implicated in inducing matrix metalloproteinase-3, -13 and aggrecanase-1 genes in articular chondrocytes.Cell Signal. 2004 Apr; 16(4):469-76.CS
Interleukin (IL)-17 promotes cartilage breakdown by inducing matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif, ADAMTS) in arthritic joints. We investigated IL-17 signaling pathways inducing MMP-3, MMP-13 and ADAM-TS4 genes in bovine articular chondrocytes. IL-17 stimulated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), protein 38 (p38) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). ERK pathway inhibitors, PD98059 and U0126, down-regulated IL-17-induced MMP and ADAM-TS4 gene expression. Protein 38 and JNK pathway inhibitors, SB203580 and SP600125, also reduced induction of these genes. Antioxidants and activating protein-1 transcription factor inhibitors, nordihydroguaiaretic acid and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) suppressed MMP and ADAM-TS4 genes. Similarly, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) pathways inhibitors curcumin and Bay-11-7085 also blocked their induction. Thus MMP-3, MMP-13 and ADAM-TS4 genes are coordinately up-regulated by IL-17 via MAP kinases, activating protein-1 (AP-1) and NF-kappaB mediators, which could be targeted for reducing IL-17-triggered cartilage damage.

Hi there, We sent in a ribosomal and total extracted RNA to the company Novogene for analysis and something strange has happened with the data. A key marker gene (almost essential to the analysis) is missing reads. Every single publication concerning JA has had reads for this wound induced protein (okay, didn't check all, but I've made sure many have). It's not even a question. It's there. It's there in decently high quantities. It's a published fact. My postdoc has additionally confirmed the presence of this gene using qPCR. It's not a part of any hypothesis. It's a fact that it is induced at this point.
However, out of the whole genome, all the biosynthetic genes for JA, all the important high and low induced transcripts, this one gene is said to have 0 reads.
What gives? The bioinformatician has been very unhelpful - he/she seems nice, but hasn't been reading the emails properly and answering the wrong questions. His latest reason is that every single read (there are lots seemingly aligned to the genome (IGV viewer and bam files, TAIR10), especially when compared to other genes that have reads) fell into the 3 out of the 8 categories for being unable to have the read be quantified (HTseq - 5 out the 8 circumstances can be quantified). This gene doesn't have an overlapping genes or an intron.
Is this actually possible? That a published, verified, marker gene seriously can have no reads whatsoever? And in the same RNAseq analysis transcripts that are expected to have little to no reads can be quantified? We also have all the data showing the quality control was passed and the vast majority, almost all, reads mapped.
Sorry for the harsh tone, it's been a frustrating few weeks.

Objective: To identify health care aspects of inadequate quality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) care from the perspective of patients, and to study to what extent patients' perspectives on quality of care are associated with patient characteristics.
Design: Cross-sectional questionnaire survey performed in 1999.
Setting: Secondary and tertiary rheumatology outpatient clinics.
Study participants: A random sample (n = 683) of patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis according to the 1987 revised American College of Rheumatology criteria. Patients varied widely with respect to age (mean 61.5 years) and disease duration (mean 10.7 years).
Main outcome measures: Using the method of the QUOTE-questionnaire, patients' were asked to rate the importance to them of 29 aspects of care, and to rate the performance of five different health care providers [i.e. rheumatologist, general practitioner (GP), physiotherapist, home nurse, and formal home help] relating to these aspects. To identify aspects of inadequate quality, patients' performance ratings were weighted by importance ratings within each health care service. Inadequate performance on an extremely important aspect was found to be a more serious quality problem than an inadequate performance on an aspect that was less important to patients. Using regression analyses, the association between patients' quality ratings and patient characteristics was assessed.
Results: Several aspects of inadequate quality were identified, namely in the field of knowledge of rheumatism and particularly for GPs, physiotherapists, home nurses, and formal home help, and in the field of information on medication and treatment for rheumatologists and GPs. Furthermore, for the majority of the importance and performance ratings, we found no association with patient-related characteristics.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that the quality of care could be improved further from the perspective of patients. These findings may be used for making health care more responsive to patients' needs.

Bhopal, March 16, 2020
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath late Sunday night met Governor Lalji Tandon at Raj Bhavan amid the deepening political crisis in the state.
Earlier in the day, BJP leaders had also met Tandon. Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Gopal Bhargava and Narottam Mishra had met the Governor about the lack of any mention of the floor test in the list of business for the state Assembly's first day of the Budget session on Monday.
The Governor had, on late Saturday, written to Chief Minister Kamal Nath, asking him to prove his majority in the house. After that, the BJP had told him that the electronic voting system in the house was not functioning and the Governor, in another letter on Sunday, told Kamal Nath that if the electronic system was not working, then the members should vote by raising their hands.


Vattenfall to Build Horns Rev 3
Vattenfall Wind Power has won the bidding in the process to build the offshore wind farm Horns Rev 3 outside the Danish west coast.
Now the company awaits approval from the Danish Parliament and EU.
With a total capacity of 400 MW, the wind farm will produce electricity for 450 000 households from 2017.
“This large, planned offshore wind farm will affect Vattenfall’s ambitions concerning wind power and especially our focus on offshore wind farms,” says Vattenfall’s CEO Magnus Hall.
With Vattenfall as owner of the concession for Horns Rev 3, the company gets a unique opportunity for synergies between several offshore wind power farms, according to Alberto Mendez Rebollo, Head of Vattenfall Nordic Wind Power operations.
“Our Control Center in Esbjerg today monitors more than 1000 wind turbines, offshore and on shore, and Horns Rev 3 will imply positive synergies in operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms in the Nordic Sea,” says Alberto Mendez Rebollo.
Offshore, Vattenfall owns 60 % of the wind farm Horns Rev 1, 80 wind turbines, and is currently building, together with Stadtwerke München, two offshore wind farms in the German part of the Nordic Sea: Dan Tysk and Sandbank. Besides that, Vattenfall is developing the wind farm Kentish Flats in the UK.
In total, Vattenfall owns approximately 1800 MW, of which 1000 MW are offshore.

Health care experts say that taking fish oil for skin problems is a good idea. A number of clinical studies show that people who take high quality omega 3 capsules every day are not as vulnerable to dermatological problems as people who do not take this supplement. Based on the results of these clinical studies, it is safe to conclude that fish oil plays an important role in skin health.
Fish oil, experts say, is good because it contains omega 3 fatty acids like DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DPA (docosapentaenoic acid). These fatty acids are known for their therapeutic effects. They have antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties and can prevent a number of health problems, including dermatological disorders.
Let us take a more detailed look.
Oxidative stress and inflammation are the most important reasons why you get problems like acne, eczema, psoriasis, wrinkles, and more. Fish oil, when taken regularly, can prevent both these problems effectively.
Oxidative stress – It is caused by the action of free radicals on your body. These free radicals tend to cause a lot of cellular damage. If left unchecked for a long time, this could lead to several dermatological problems. Omega 3 fatty acids naturally have antioxidant properties. These antioxidants fight and neutralize the free radicals in your body and prevent cellular damage. By doing so, they prevent wrinkles, lines, age spots, and other common signs of aging skin. They keep you young looking and healthy for a long time.
Inflammation – Chronic inflammation is one of the main causes of dermatological problems like psoriasis. It also affects the skin’s ability to regenerate from prolonged exposure to the sun. As a result, it gets damaged by harmful ultraviolet radiation and starts developing age spots as well. Experts say that taking omega 3 daily is a great solution for this problem, as it inhibits the production of inflammatory compounds in your body. This not just helps you avoid dermatological problems, but a number of other health problems like rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, gout, inflammatory bowel disease, and even cancer.
Based on what we have seen so far, taking fish oil for skin disorders does sound like a good idea, doesn’t it? Now, let me tell you something you should make a note of.
The only thing you need to be careful about is the quality of the supplements you choose. A number of omega 3 fatty acid supplements available on the market today are of very low quality, impure, and not safe to consume at all. They contain harmful contaminants like mercury, dioxins, chlordane, and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyl). Consuming this kind of product can be detrimental for your health in the long term. To avoid this, you can choose omega 3 capsules made of clear water fish like hoki which are only found in regions where there are no risks of pollution.
Now that you know all about fish oil skin benefits, make the right decision today. Start taking high quality omega 3 fatty acid supplements and keep your skin young and healthy for a long time.
Beverly Rose is a dedicated researcher and passionate advocate of Omega 3 fish oils. Visit her website at http://Omega-3-Reviews.com to learn about the fish oils Beverly personally uses and recommends.

Bollywood choreographer Ganesh Acharya has recently been accused by a 33 year old female choreographer of depriving her of work and also for forcing her to watch adult videos.
The woman also accused the choreographer of asking for a commission in her income.
Now, Ganesh has come out in open and blames Saroj Khan and her team for doing all this to malign his image in the industry.
Ganesh Acharya blames Saroj Khan of conspiring against him
In an interview with ANI, Ganesh Acharya said, “This is the conspiracy against me to malign my image, there are people like Saroj Khan and her colleagues who are doing corruption in the industry. Their business has flopped as I have entered the association. I will file a defamation case against Saroj Khan and her team who are defaming me and stooping so low to do that, they are doing this because their business has gone in vain they used to earn money sitting at home illegally and I am against it so will put all my efforts to fight against them.”
Earlier, Saroj Khan accused Ganesh Acharya for misusing his position and maligning the Cine Dancers Association (CDA). She had accused him of manipulating other dancers and even badmouthing CDA in the industry. To This, Ganesh Acharya had given it back saying, “Saroj ji is speaking wrong. When the CDA was closed why did not she came to help us to open it. Five coordinators were appointed for CDA by taking Rs 15 lakh from them. 217 masters have signed a letter that they do not need coordinators. Do the Federation people know dancing. Do they know who is a good dancer.”

On that ethos, many in the games industry were cautiously optimistic in the build up to yesterday’s Budget report. However, no specific measures for tax breaks were introduced on the day.
Michael Rawlinson, UKIE director general, said it is disappointing not to have industry specific tax breaks introduced”.
For the full story head over to Develop.


Match day 27 has started with a narrow 1-0 win for TSV 1860 Munich over relegation strugglers Aue and a hard fought 1-1 draw between Energie Cottbus and VfR Aalen.
The unstated goal of 18 teams would be to seize all 24 points available from those remaining matches, even knowing it’s not an entirely reasonable thing to even hope.
Much like the young King Joffrey in HBO’s juggernaut program that also returns to life this weekend, FC Kaiserslautern has been the target for several factions, each of whom hope to replace them, earning a chance to play for promotion to the Königsklasse of German football in the coming season.
Every team in the second league still owns mathematical claim to the throne, if not completely realistic.
Well, that’s true for everyone except poor SSV Jahn Regensburg. Their 18 points from 26 matches has assured them they will not only not gain promotion in consecutive seasons, but, in all likelihood, are not going to be able to maintain the class.
The issue for all challengers to the throne is not so much the team they pursue, rather all their fellow contenders looking to also chase that spot, or even just to maintain the class. It is essentially crunch time for everyone in the league, with managers and players all intending to look good going into the off-season. So while it is actually possible for SV Sandhausen and Dynamo Dresden to fight their way into third place, the help they would need from the teams in front of them make it about as likely as either of them purchasing Leonel Messi this summer, or, keeping with the theme, Ned Stark rising from the dead to become King of Winterfell.
In case you happen to live under a rock, that is simply never…going…to happen.
With Hertha BSC and Eintracht Branschweig seemingly too far ahead of the pack for even Kaiserslautern (11 points behind 2nd place) or FC Köln (12 points behind 2nd place) to truly hope for the automatic promotion that would come with finishing in the top two, the relegation playoff spot that is the third rung on the 2 Bundesliga ladder remains the last hope for teams targeting a 2013-14 place in the top flight of Bundesliga football.
And now, let’s take a look at the teams battling for third:
1. FC Kaiserslautern
The team currently holding third place has been among the top four in the league since September 16.
Such consistency would normally be a strong indicator that the red devils are the favorite for the relegation playoff spot, needing only to continue their long-established trend of being there.
The strong start, along with inconsistent results by nearly every team pursuing them, helped mask a bit of a slide in form that started with a three-match losing streak to finish the Hinrunde and, has since continued somewhat in the new year.
Just before the March international break, Kaiserslautern needed a decisive home victory over FC Ingolstadt to avoid falling out of their relegation-playoff slot after having dropped 9 of the available 12 points in the previous four match days.
Kaiserslautern were also perhaps the loudest team in the winter transfer window, adding six new players, including the highly touted Mitchell Weiser on a loan from FC Bayern München. It would be hard to argue that Kaiserslautern did not expand their talent base and depth in the face of what appeared to be setting up as a second-half cruise defending their spot, but the on-field results have been unexpectedly troubling.
Now, with their lead over the team on the fourth rung down to a mere point, Kaiserslautern will hope to return to form thanks to a favorable schedule. The four remaining road matches for the Red Devils will be against teams currently residing in the bottom five spots of the table, including Sandhausen and Regensburg, who occupy both direct-relegation spots.
Perhaps the greatest threat to the return of Kaiserslautern to the top league comes in the form of…
1. FC Köln
With 19 points from their 9 matches of the Rückrunde, the Effzeh has been the top performer of 2013 to date.
Köln rode a 14-match unbeaten streak into the international break, giving them plenty of reason for confidence on the approach to the match day 28 showdown at Kaiserslautern, which could ultimately serve as the turning point in the battle for the relegation-playoff spot.
Köln’s remaining schedule lays out a lot less favorably than does that of Kaiserslautern. The battle in Kaiserslautern being sandwiched between home-turf matches with table-bottom Regensburg and Aalen, who have the second-fewest points in the Rückrunde.
After that, however, the Effzeh will travel to Duisburg and Bochum, both of whom have shown better form in 2013 than they had in the Hinrunde. They will also host 1860 München, who could still be lingering in the mix for a third-place finish, as well as Hertha BSC, who could be battling for the league championship when they visit.
While extending the unbeaten streak through the end of the season should be enough for Köln to earn third place, achieving that is going to be quite a chore.
The addition of the famously tall Stefan Maierhofer is not as important for his talent as it is as a signal that manager Holger Stanislawski is ready to put a second striker on the field after sticking with Anthony Ujah as the lone man going forward. The payoff has been eight goals in the last four matches and a rosier overall outlook for a squad that lingered in the relegation zone for most of the early part of the season, while the team struggled to put the ball in the net.
1. FC Union Berlin
Much like FC Köln, Union Berlin have recovered from a disastrously slow start to climb back into contention for promotion. Union lost four consecutive matches after an opening weekend draw with Kaiserslautern. Since then, the ‘Iron Ones’ have steadily climbed up the 2. Bundesliga table to their current seat on the fifth rung.
Union certainly have the firepower to blast their way into the Bundesliga. Their 44 goals on the year is second only to their fellow Berliners at BSC. Defending, however, is another matter, with their 37 goals conceded making their defense, by far, the least stout among contending teams. In all likelihood, Union will need a sincere re-devotion to defending before achieving their first ascension into the top league.
Roster-wise, nothing was really done to address the issue during the winter break. In fact, one of the team’s more-promising defensive midfielders, Markus Karl, was sold to Kaiserslautern. By way of replacement, Union signed Baris Özbek on a free transfer, after he played his way onto the bench at Trabzonspor. The gamble has seemed to pay off a bit, at least on the offensive side, as Özbek scored in his debut with Union and has also provided a pair of assists in six appearances. The continued surrender of goals at a fairly quick pace, however, leaves the question as to whether the move was a net gain unanswered.
TSV 1860 München
Die Löwen have been consistent presence in the upper-third of the table, which puts them necessarily in the conversation at this point. Needing to make up a six-point deficit in the remaining eight match days, however, means the Bavarians will need a good deal of help to reach promotion.
After taking just four points in six games, Alexander Schmidt took over as manager from Reiner Maurer in mid-November. Since the leadership change, the Lions have lost only two matches, but have otherwise seen fairly pedestrian results, keeping them within sight of third place, but far from threatening it.
Largely at issue has been goal scoring. Only two teams in 2. Bundesliga have found the back of the net fewer times than München’s 25. To address the lack of offensive punch, the Lions added a pair of strikers in the winter break, rescuing Canadian Rob Friend off Eintracht Frankfurt’s bench and talented young Norwegian Ola Kamara from Stromsgodset. The pair connected for the first goal in Cottbus’ upset victory over Braunschweig, but with just the one score between them in their first seven matches with their new club, it would be a stretch to say they’ve provided the added firepower required to make a late surge. However, Friend might be able to change that in the not distant future, his goal against Aue tonight was certainly a good start to do just that.
FC Energie Cottbus
Because Cottbus are even on points with TSV München and Union Berlin, it seems prudent to include them here.
Because the squad has been so woefully inconsistent as of late, it would have been very easy to leave them outside the discussion of true threats to make the move to third.
For much of the first half of the season, the east German squad appeared poised to contend. Cottbus sat no lower than fourth for match days 2 through 19. This was despite losing three of their last four matches in that run among the top four.
Over the winter break, Cottbus added defender Michael Schulze from Wolfsburg and midfielder Andre Fomitschow from Düsseldorf, both of whom have become immediate regulars for manager Rudi Bommer. Another newcomer, former Union Berlin forward John Jairo Mosquero, has returned to Germany from a short stint in China to become a regular offensive option off the bench. Whether there is enough time remaining for these squad alterations to create the right chemistry for a late-season charge remains to be seen.
At issue the last eight weeks of the season will be the difference in form between home and road matches. Cottbus has taken all three points only once in their last ten ventures to other stadiums. With road trips to München, Braunschweig, and Hertha remaining, not to mention to Dresden to face a team fighting to stay out of the relegation zone, a return to the Bundesliga in 2013 seems a bit out of their reach.
Ultimately, the race for the seemingly last remaining shot at promotion currently appears to be a two-team race. Yet, as fans of the sport know, it takes only a team to catch fire for a few weeks to re-insert themselves into the equation. However things play out from here, it will be worth the effort of Bundesliga followers to keep an eye on the zweite Liga the next few months.

Expressionism first emerged around the turn of the century alongside numerous other avant-garde modernist movements which aimed to rethink approaches to art and literature, to help artists escape the limitations of traditional artistic representation. Expressionists’ primary ideal was to present the world in the most subjective way possible, placing things like emotion, mood, and ideas as far more important than realistic depictions of figures, landscapes, or scenes.
Many of the roots of expressionism developed in literature and poetry, but the idea was soon to catch on with painters. Many point to a series of paintings by Julien-Auguste Hervé titled Expressionismes as the first example, and various works by van Gogh, Munch, and James Ensor also laid fundamental foundation stones. The movement began in earnest between 1905 and 1910 with the Die Brücke group of artists in Dresden, and the Der Blaue Reiter group in Munich.
A problem in identifying a clear history for the movement lays in it’s broad ideas; it overlapped with many other movements of the time such as futurism, vorticism, surrealism, dadaism, and cubism, all of which ignored realistic representation in favour of something else.
The impact of worldwide events on the expressionist period
This wasn’t the first time that artists had started to inject more emotion and feeling into their work, the preceding few centuries in Europe had seen several waves of emotive representation in culture, often alongside tumultuous times of warfare and social change. Sometimes it took the form of propaganda, reflecting the anger felt at injustices or atrocities of war, but un-reality was also used to great effect during the Baroque period, to express such things as the grandeur of God.
The early part of the 1900s was a time of great change and ideas in art and culture, and much of it came as a reaction to the First World War. Expressionism formed in the years preceding it, and movements such as Dada came shortly after it began with a very deliberate idea to wipe out the past that had spawned such terrible violence. In many ways, Expressionism isn’t so much a movement as a shared feeling amongst artists of the period; a need to say more than could be expressed in traditional subject and compositions.
In the spirit of modern art, of course, expressionism went much further than before. It took influence from Fauvism in using free and expressive colours, even if they clashed or failed to make an aesthetically pleasing whole. Such decisions were deliberate and intended to provoke reaction, even a negative one, where Baroques breaks with reality had always been directed towards expressing more positive things such as beauty or awe.
German expressionism spreads, and soaks into the fabric of the arts
Things moved fast in modern art through the early 1900s, perhaps motivated by the emotions of war, and the ideals of expressionism soaked in deep amongst European artists, and gradually spread to North America as well. Marsden Hartley was greatly influenced after meeting Kandinsky in 1913, and a far stronger wave of influence came as the Second World War began and many European artists moved to the US and began to influence many American artists.
The years 1905 to 1920 are often cited as the years between which expressionism existed, but in many ways it never went away, influencing post WW2 American art into distinct expressionist movements. Abstract expressionism was one of the clearest examples, and even as that began to fade neo-expressionism emerged, and traces can still be seen in much contemporary art.
As a shared feeling, it may seem obvious in the contemporary era to express emotions through art, but we owe all of that familiarity to the successes of expressionism and many other modern art movements at the turn of the century. Once the idea was out, it could never be put away.

Shire of Mundaring has gained a commitment to the construction of a safer pedestrian crossing over the railway line traversing Morrison Road, Swan View.
This has been achieved through collaboration and partnership with the City of Swan.
A major safety upgrade will take place at a local railway pedestrian crossing, following concerns raised by Shire of Mundaring and the City of Swan.
The area in question is at the railway line traversing Morrison Road in Swan View.
Shire President Cr John Daw met on-site recently with City of Swan Mayor David Lucas to observe the reported safety issue.
"We could see that the very narrow pedestrian path over the rail line could be a potential hazard for people attempting to cross, and that there was a need for action," Cr Daw said.
He described that the hazard was amplified for people with prams and/or wheelchairs with risk of a wheel falling off the edge of the narrow footpath.
Cr Daw contacted Arc Infrastructure, the managers of rail infrastructure in the area, requesting an urgent upgrade to the footpath within the identified 'danger zone'.
In response to Cr Daw's request Arc Infrastructure has agreed to take the appropriate measures to increase the width of the pedestrian maze and are currently liaising with the contractor who will install the new surface. The commencement date is to be advised.
Shire of Mundaring and City of Swan have committed to upgrading the footpath outside of the identified 'danger zone' to match the existing footpath widths in Morrison Road improving safety for residents of both Shires.


A 49-year-old recently entered his plea in his sex crimes case. The Florida man was accused of manufacturing, possessing and distributing pornographic images of children. He admitted that he committed the crimes of which his is accused, and he pleaded guilty to these federal-level offenses.
The criminal investigation began around a year ago when Homeland Security was attempting to track down a young boy who appeared in several pornographic images online. The investigation apparently documented that the images were taken between 2001 and 2002 in the suspect’s backyard. The boy had also reportedly been a family friend’s child.
The man ultimately admitted to taking the photographs of the boy as well as photographs of other children over a span of about a decade. He is reportedly remorseful for his actions, and he hopes that this process will help to heal those he harmed. In exchange for his cooperation and guilty plea, the prosecution agreed to recommend a sentence of 10 years in federal prison, with 10 years of supervised release thereafter. He is expected to be sentenced on May 9.
Plea bargains come in many forms. While some cases get what seems like a significant concession from prosecutors that attracts media attention, others — like this one — only get the promise that the prosecution will recommend a specific sentence. The ultimate sentencing decision belongs to the federal judge in Florida, based upon federal sentencing guidelines. Hopefully, the man’s remorseful attitude and cooperation in his criminal defense will ultimately help to work in his benefit at the time of his sentencing for these federal-level offenses.

Mona Lisa Vito: The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make these marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!
Vinny Gambini: And why not? What is positraction?
Mona Lisa Vito: It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.
Vinny Gambini: Is that it?
Mona Lisa Vito: No, there's more! You see where the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60's, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
Vinny Gambini: And because both cars were made by GM, were both cars available in metallic mint green paint?
Mona Lisa Vito: They were!
Vinny Gambini: Thank you, Ms. Vito. No more questions. Thank you very much.
Vinny Gambini: You've been a lovely, lovely witness.

PRAGUE - European Union finance ministers on Friday backed a 5 billion euro ($5 billion) loan for Ukraine to help keep its schools, hospitals and other needed operations running as it fights against Russia's invasion.
Meeting in Prague, the ministers also discussed longer-term options to help Ukraine fund its reconstruction in the future, as well as possible other options to give short-term financing.
EU countries have been providing ongoing support with financial and military aid to Ukraine as Kyiv seeks to take back land in Russia's hands since it launched what Moscow calls a "special operation" in February.
The 5 billion euro loan agreed on Friday, which will be backed by guarantees of EU member states, is part of an overall 9 billion euro package announced in May.
The first 1 billion euros was fully sent in early August, while Czech Finance Minister Zbynek Stanjura said upcoming meetings would decide how the remaining 3 billion euros in the package could be split into loans or grants.
"All member states agreed on further support for Ukraine," Stanjura said.
A report released Friday by the World Bank, Ukrainian government and European Commission calculated Russia's invasion caused over $97 billion in direct damages to Ukraine through June 1, while it could cost nearly $350 billion to rebuild the country.
European Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovski said costs to help re-build Ukraine would be immense as war drags into a seventh month.
"Clearly Ukraine needs short-term financial assistance to keep the country running on a daily basis and maintain essential services," he said.
"We also need to look beyond immediate needs, as long-term costs for Ukraine's reconstruction are likely to keep growing as long as war continues."
The EU's executive is already looking at legal obstacles to using confiscated Russian assets to help with Ukraine's reconstruction costs, while ministers were discussing other options for long-term funding, without providing details.
Stanjura said ministers were also looking into other options for more short-term financing that may be needed beyond the 9 billion euro package already being disbursed in stages. ($1 = 0.9954 euro)

Denver, Colo. (KKCO) - The state anticipates ending the year with 150,000 applicants for medical marijuana cards, up from 41,000 in 2009. A marijuana card costs $90 per year.
Backers of medical marijuana legislation in a number of states and cities have touted revenue from possible taxes and other fees as a selling point at a time of tight fiscal funding.
On Monday night, a medical marijuana lawyer questioned the legality of that move
In order to get a medical marijuana card, patients have to pay $90.
The state is expecting 150,000 applicants in the 2010-2011 fiscal year, which means the state is expecting to earn $13.5 million.

The Bowen Basin Sustainable Resources Local Leadership Group (BBLLG) identified the lack of access to sustainable and appropriate public and private medical and other health services as one of the major issues impacting the communities in the Bowen Basin Region. Currently there are significant medical and allied health workforce shortages in the region. The situation has arisen as a result of an increased demand on health services due to the substantial growth in population associated with resource development projects in the region, compounded by the ongoing difficulties of recruiting and retaining experienced health professional as occurs in rural and regional areas across Australia and Queensland.
In response to the increasing population and health workforce shortages across the Bowen Basin, the Leadership Group commissioned Health Workforce Queensland in conjunction with Kristine Battye Consulting to develop a Regional Health Services Plan for the Bowen Basin, offering tangible strategies and an action plan for the BBLG. The strategies will:
- Promote collaboration and the creative use of resources through private/public partnerships
- Build on existing and emergent opportunities
- Facilitate the development of innovative, realistic and affordable solutions to the issues identified
- Empower communities to prioritise their needs and influence the nature of their health care services into the future.
The project has been informed by, and sought to align with local and state plans, and seeks to identify ways in which health services, both public and private, can be coordinated to enhance existing capacity and obtain maximum benefit to communities.
- Desktop Audit
- Analysis of Relevant Literature
A literature analysis was undertaken to identify and describe:
- The demographics of the Bowen Basin
- The health status of the Bowen Basin population
- Key issues impacting on the delivery of health services across the Bowen Basin
- Planning activities that may impact on health service delivery in the region.
- Survey Tool
An online survey of health and community care providers in the Bowen Basin was undertaken to:
- Map existing health services, workforce and partnerships
- Identify priority health issues
- Identify issues impacting on access to services
- Identify service and system gaps
- Identify opportunities for improvements to service delivery.
- Stakeholder Consultations
There was extensive consultation with key stakeholders that operate at a local and regional level. Key groups consulted included Local Government, Queensland Health – state based and Local Health and Hospital Services, local health professionals, mining industry representatives, non-government organisations, Medicare Locals, Central Qld Division of General Practice and consumers to identify service and system gaps, identify local health priorities and identify opportunities to address service gaps aligned to local priorities.
In addition to the consultations a full-day workshop was held in Emerald with key representatives from the BBLG and industry to develop tangible strategies to promote and support solutions to improve the capacity of, and access to health services in the region.
The final report identified strategies for use by local government, the mining industry and others to inform service plans of Local Health and Hospital Services and Medicare Locals.

Three Tips of the day!
Check around at your local cheap shop for a 100 to 150 page coloring activity book and then carefully tear out the pages or cut them out. You will then see that this will give you one page with two pictures on it front and back. Get your child to pick through the pictures until they find one that they want to color in and let them go to it. When they have finished that picture turn it over and get them to color in the other side of the picture. This will keep them entertained for ages if they are tempted to just color one color then encourage them to make it more colorful because you something special planned for their picture once they have finished but they need to make it colorful.
If you have a little girl in your family then she is probably similar to my niece in that she wants to be a Princess when she grows up. I suspect it's down to all the Disney films she has watched religiously since she was very young. I haven't the heart to tell her that unless she marries a Prince soon she hasn't much chance. And no, I certainly don't know any royalty!
Coloring pages for girls will allow your little princesses to show their flair and creative powers in many ways. While young they may not make the most beautiful creation and they may not color inside the lines all the time but they will color some amazing things (in their eyes). As they grow older they will begin to desire to color inside the lines and to combine the proper colors to make some truly wonderful pictures that you will be proud to display and may even want to frame.

From Washington, it's about a five-hour drive; for those of you looking at vintage maps, be aware that the village of North Tarrytown officially changed its name to Sleepy Hollow in
Suresh M. Manjanath, 45, of Tarrytown, N. Manjanath, who volunteered with the Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow branch of AYSO, a national youth soccer program, was caught in an online sting, unaware the person he arranged to meet up with in the Midwest was actually an undercover investigator, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said in a news release. Investigators with Madigan's office arrested Manjanath late May 27 in Channahon, a town of about 12, southwest of Chicago, and charged him with four felony counts of dissemination of child pornography.
Madigan said Manjanath was seen trading child porn images in an online chat room. An undercover investigator then had online contact with Manjanath, prompting an investigation that culminated with his arrest. At the time of his arrest, he had gone to a restaurant to meet with the undercover investigator he thought was the mother of two young children, authorities said. The charges against Manjanath are not believed to have involved any AYSO player, said George Passantino, a California-based spokesman for the organization.
Manjanath had been a volunteer with the group sinceboth as an assistant coach and helping with the technological aspects of registering online for the program. As a volunteer, Manjanath would have had to pass a background check and gone through "safe haven" training, Passantino said.
His name and title of "registration tech czar" also has since been removed from the site. Manjanath was booked at the Will County jail around 3 a.
May 28 and released Friday around p. Because of his death, the charges are expected to be dismissed, said spokeswoman Maura Prossley of the Illinois Attorney General's Office.
No one answered the bell Tuesday afternoon at the second-floor unit of a North Broadway condominium where Manjanath lived with his wife and two children. Madigan's office worked on the investigation with the Will County State's Attorney's Office and Channahon Police, which has a detective ased to an Attorney General's task force that focuses on Internet crimes against children. Manjanath's arrest follows the recent arrest of 70 people, including at least five from the Lower Hudson Valley, on child porn charges.
Those arrests were prompted by the earlier arrest of ex-Mount Pleasant Police Chief Brian Fanelli on child porn charges. Facebook Twitter .

Miniature Semiconductor Technology for Nucleic Acid Synthesis
GenScript's proprietary Miniature Semiconductor Technology (MSC) is the highest density chip for oligo synthesis today, with the potential to reach 200 billion oligos per chip.
How does it work?
First, the electrodes are activated to create a confined acidic environment. The nucleotides linked to the electrodes are deblocked and a new amidite will couple with the deblocked nucleotides. The amidite solution will be washed away and followed by further rounds of electrochemical deblocking and coupling of nucleotides to complete the oligonucleotide sequence.
CustomArray's Miniature Semiconductor Chip (MSC) - Up to 8 million oligos per chip.
CustomArray's High Throughput 4 Chamber Oligo Synthesizer - Up to 32 million oligos can be synthesized simultaneously

Furious Florida doctors lash out at DeSantis over 'unbelievably frightening' surge of COVID-19 patients
According to a report from Vanity Fair's Bess Levin, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) is facing withering criticism from doctors in his state for not taking the resurgence of COVID-19 seriously as the Delta variant overwhelms hospitals at a frightening pace.
As the report notes, Florida reported 10,389 new hospitalizations for COVID on Monday that comes on the heels of a staggering 21,000 new infections on Friday making Florida home to almost one in five cases nationally.
On Monday, CNN's John Avlon reported that Florida "has gotten nearly 25 times more people hospitalized for COVID than in all of Canada," and, according to The Independent, doctors in the Sunshine State are fed up with the Republican governor who recently started fundraising by selling item mocking getting vaccinated.
According to Vanity Fair's Levin, "Last month, DeSantis's reelection campaign introduced koozies and T-shirts bearing the phrase 'Don't Fauci My Florida' as his state began to see some of the highest hospitalizations, new infections, and deaths per capita in the country, claiming that Florida's economy would have been in the toilet if it had 'followed Fauci.' The items were listed along anti-mask merch printed with the DeSantis quote, 'How the hell am I going to be able to drink a beer with a mask on?' While the governor's office swears the state is in great shape, and that the recent spike is merely a 'seasonal' blip, the data seems to indicate otherwise."
Florida's doctors seem to concur.
In an interview, Bernard Ashby, a Miami cardiologist stated, "While hospitals in our state were filling up, DeSantis was shouting about 'Freedom over Faucism.'"
Ashby, who also heads up the state's Committee to Protect Health Care, added, "If DeSantis were as concerned about stopping COVID-19 spread as he was about coming up with these clever jabs about Dr. Fauci, we might not be in this position," reported the Independent which added that doctors in the state are both "furious and ashamed."
Dr. Aileen Marty, a Florida International University infectious disease expert also expressed dismay.
"There is no higher risk area in the United States than we're seeing here," she admitted before lamenting, "The numbers that we're seeing are unbelievable, just unbelievably frightening."
According to a report from the Washington Post, former President Donald Trump engaged in a "personal pressure campaign" during the dying days of his term to try and compel acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to investigate claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Trump allegedly called Rosen nearly every day between the resignation of Attorney General William Barr and the deadly January 6th riot at the Capitol, badgering him about what the Justice Department was doing to investigate erroneous claims of improper vote counts. The Justice Department recently notified Rosen and Richard Donoghue, one of Rosen's top aides, that notes taken during these calls could be turned over to Congress if Trump does not take legal action to block their release. Rosen and Donoghue could also be questioned about these conversations by congressional committees investigating Trump's actions after the election.
Trump's pleas for Rosen to investigate these voter fraud claims were but one of many attempts by Republicans to cast doubt on and ultimately overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which also included attempts to send alternative slates of electors to Congress, formal objections to the electoral vote count, and, ultimately, the attempted insurrection on January 6th.
An anonymous source told the Washington Post that Trump was "absolutely obsessed" with getting Rosen to investigate the election, but that Rosen, for his part, remained "generally noncommittal" and did not promise to "take any specific action." Rosen's apparent lack of enthusiasm may have led to an eleventh-hour plan to replace Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official who was more sympathetic to Trump's goals. Clark has denied that such a plan was ever under consideration.
The Justice Department's willingness to allow Rosen and Donoghue to testify about the content of their calls with Trump represents something of a reversal for the Department, which has continued to defend the former president against a defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll and another lawsuit concerning the teargassing of protestors at Lafayette Square. In its letter to Rosen and Donoghue, the Justice Department said that the investigation into "whether former President Trump sought to cause the Department to use its law enforcement and litigation authorities to advance his personal political interests" represented "extraordinary events" and "exceptional circumstances" that necessitated the disclosure of information that they would otherwise be obliged to keep private.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — If you’ve watched the Olympics recently, you’ve probably seen an ad featuring Sen. Elizabeth Warren urging Californians to vote no on the Sept. 14 recall election. The Massachusetts Democrat won’t be the last big-name Democrat to make a swing through the Golden State — physically or virtually — to try to help Gov. Gavin Newsom keep his job. “They need star power to grab the attention of Democratic voters,” said Darry Sragow, a seasoned Democratic strategist. Just weeks ago, the recall looked like a long shot. But recent polling suggests that almost as many likely voters want...

When it comes to drawing up a comprehensive and reliable construction loan agreement, clarity is the main goal of every good document. The biggest challenge you'll face is defining the terms and conditions so that both the borrower and the lender agree upon the final set of terms. While a general construction loan agreement template can sometimes be used, each individual loan is often utterly unique and a completely original agreement is often needed.
Whatever is agreed regarding applicable penalties for late or inability to comply should not only be discussed but also defined. Payment deadlines also should be set and included in the loan agreement as well. In order to effectively carry out the terms in the agreement, it is but proper to include the contact information of both the lender and debtor should the need arise to call them out.
In general, the nature of the interest rate would be the main concern that may raise concerns for the individuals who take the loans. The type of loan either floating or fixed should also be clearly mentioned in the loan agreement. When you take care about the minimum details which are discussed above, you will have a perfect evidence to continue discussions with the lender. People who fail to take enough care of the loan agreement will have to face lot of problems that proves to be too costly which will continue throughout the loan tenure like the interest rate quoted higher than offered to you.
Loan deferment is a special financing alternative that lets borrowers skip a payment without receiving derogatory credit reporting. The option to defer payments is available for most types of loans including mortgage, auto, credit cards, and student loans. Debtors must obtain lender approval and abide by deferment policies.

LITTLE CURRENT—Following the media circus that broke from The Expositor’s May 29 front page story regarding Manitoulin’s connection to accused murderer Dellen Millard, Chris Blodgett, proprietor of Discovery Yacht Charters, the man who first told his tale to The Expositor of renting a charter yacht to Mr. Millard in 2011, has since been left dizzy with attention and also with a bad taste in his mouth.
Mr. Blodgett spoke with The Expositor on Monday of last week, reluctantly, after this newspaper had learned of his connection to Mr. Millard following the news reports of his arrest and charge of murder over the death of Tim Bosma.
During the summer of 2011, Mr. Millard chartered a vessel from Discovery for a 10-day cruise of the North Channel. Mr. Blodgett explained to The Expositor that during Mr. Millard’s charter, he attended to the vessel at anchorage due to a mechanical problem and while on board, he noticed blood throughout the boat, not large amounts, but blood nonetheless. When he questioned Mr. Millard about the blood (which was seen on the transom, the head (bathroom), the sleeping cabin and the bed sheets), the man responded that his female guest was menstruating and that the head was not working properly. Mr. Blodgett said he guessed this was because of a blockage caused by feminine hygiene products. The female guest, however, was nowhere to be seen.
Before speaking with The Expositor, Mr. Blodgett had contacted the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), recalling the encounter with Mr. Millard, saying that alarm bells went off when he learned the story of the murder of Mr. Bosma and his subsequent experience with the flashy millionaire.
When The Expositor broke the story Wednesday morning of last week, pandemonium ensued with Mr. Blodgett’s phone ringing off the hook and reporters with cameras on his doorstep.
“Immediately after The Expositor ran the information that I shared, that same day a story came out in the Hamilton Spectator that stated I saw ‘large amounts of blood around the boat rented by Dellen Millard, owner Chris Blodgett says’,” Mr. Blodgett explained. “That is when the fear set in because I never said anything remotely close to that statement, to anybody, ever. I was then hounded by the Toronto Star (among many others) who basically threatened me by saying they intended to run the same story unless I spoke with them and gave them a new story. I hoped that if I just stopped responding to their emails and phone calls that they would leave me alone. At the same time I told the CBC that while the information reported in The Expositor was accurate, I would decline any further comment.”
Mr. Blodgett said he was horrified when that exact headline began to run in every small and large newspaper across the province and country, including the Toronto Star, even after he told reporters the story had been exaggerated.
Despite the old adage “any press is good press,” Mr. Blodgett is plagued with the fear that irreversible damage has been done to his name and business. During one TV interview with CTV, the reporter took it upon himself to joke with Mr. Blodgett that he should offer special rates to ‘crime tourists’ who seek out stays in haunted hotels, or maybe even bloodied boats, then inaccurately reported on the six o’clock news from Sudbury that Discovery would be offering discounted rates because of the public relations debacle.
“I did not say this to him, and certainly would have no interest in participating in such a campaign,” Mr. Blodgett said. “In addition, we (Discovery’s crew) had been trying to get some work done on our fleet that day and had just finished rigging one of our boats and we always place signage on them for the dock pedestrians once we are finished rigging and cleaning them. It was after 6 pm and I would learn later I was filmed from afar placing the sign on the boat with (the reporter’s) dialogue about discounted charters. It was all just sickening. Not only did he invent the discount statement, they included me placing signage on the vessel in the evening after I asked them to stop filming us. I really feel that they were trying to discredit me because they were disappointed that I denied the blood soaked boat statement and they should never have been here in the first place.”
Following two days of stress, matters were made worse when an OPP statement was released last Thursday evening which said that the concerns brought forward by Mr. Blodgett were “unfounded.”
“That almost implies that I made the story up even though I gather the police have information from a witness that proves my reports to them were entirely accurate,” Mr. Blodgett said. “Yet somehow not a single news agency has received that information. After spending hours in interviews with investigators, fielding repeated calls from the police, having them come to my home and getting hounded by the media for days on end, I don’t understand why they would choose to leave me looking discredited? Don’t get me wrong, the police took my report seriously and all the officers involved in this case were extremely respectful, polite and professional to me through the entire process, I just don’t understand why the word ‘unfounded’ would be chosen when they clearly received information that my report to them was accurate, deserving of investigation and not exaggerated based on what we had seen aboard that boat back in September 2011.”
“Honestly, what should I have done?” he asked. “We receive a boat back that has blood on its transom, the head, the sleeping cabin and on the sheets then the client gets charged with first degree murder and investigated in a missing persons case. Should I just keep this information to myself next time and avoid subjecting myself and my business to a media frenzy and crazy people calling and emailing me with less than flattering comments?”
The Expositor contacted Manitoulin OPP Detachment Commander Staff Sergeant Kevin Webb to discuss the offending press release and the use of the word “unfounded.”
Staff Sergeant Webb explained that police use the word unfounded when referring to the investigation and subsequent closure of a criminal matter.
“The information brought forward by Mr. Blodgett was valid, and he should be commended for that,” the staff sergeant told The Expositor. “He took initiative, recognizing some information that may have been useful for the police.”
Staff Sergeant Webb said he realized that the information Mr. Blodgett received from Mr. Millard may have seemed valid at the time as to the cause of the blood, but following the charge of murder, he was correct to take a second look at the scene. “We are all very pleased he did,” he added, noting that he can see how Mr. Blodgett must feel following the media stories that appeared once the OPP closed its investigation.
“All the information was correct,” he continued. “Once it was determined there was no criminal activity, the case was deemed ‘unfounded.’ The information itself was not unfounded.”
While the staff sergeant could not shed more light on the now closed investigation, he did say that the two girls who had spent time on the charter with Mr. Millard in 2011 had since been identified and that there was no concern for their safety or well being.
“Regardless of the amount of time consumed and stress this whole situation brought down on me, the most important thing in my mind is that this part of the Millard story has a happy ending,” Mr. Blodgett concluded. “We couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion to this story—that the girls in question that went out on that trip have been located safe. At least with that information I can now sleep a bit better at night.”
