The project–10 Million Names–will centralize genealogical and historical information about enslaved people of African descent and their families on a free website.

ABC News will serve as the exclusive media partner of 10 Million Names. The year-long, network-wide initiative will feature the findings, research, and work of a collaborative network of genealogists, cultural organizations, and community-based family historians through impactful and informative storytelling and reporting across ABC News programs and platforms.

The project advisory board includes Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard scholar and host of the popular PBS Series Finding Your Roots, which often reveals surprising information to celebrity guests about their ancestors. Other members of the 10 Million Names Advisory Board are Richard Cellini, founder of the Georgetown Memory Project and a Research Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, Gwill York, Advisory Board chair, entrepreneur, prominent business leader, and civic volunteer for more than thirty years, and Paula Williams Madison, author of Finding Samuel Lowe: China, Jamaica, Harlem, and Chairman and CEO of Madison Media Management LLC and 88 Madison Media Works Inc.

Dr. Gates and others associated with the project have described it as having the potential to connect millions of people with American history through genealogy in ways never possible before.

“For the first time ever, we have the means to accomplish a project of this importance and magnitude,” said Cellini, the founding director of the 10 Million Names project. “The institutional will and the technology exist. We have a collective obligation as a nation to tell African American family stories.”

Beginning in 2018, American Ancestors worked with Cellini to create a free, searchable public portal at GU272.AmericanAncestors.org that presented the family histories of more than 300 men, women, and children sold by the Jesuit priests of Georgetown University (then known as Georgetown College) in 1838 to Louisiana sugar plantations. When he first discovered the sale, Cellini, a Georgetown alumnus, created an independent non-profit dedicated to finding the people who were sold, and worked with American Ancestors to publish the results.

“Our collaboration with Richard Cellini on the Georgetown Memory Project served as a model and launch pad for 10 Million Names,” said Ryan Woods, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for American Ancestors. “The work done on the Georgetown project demonstrated we could apply a different methodology to help more Americans of African descent recover their family history before 1870–which is often difficult. Community-based family historians will play a vital role in the success of this project. 10 Million Names will work alongside families, individuals, and organizations to amplify the voices of people who have been telling their stories for hundreds of years.”

To accomplish its goal, the 10 Million Names research team will reverse the typical approach used by genealogists , and borrow from the historian’s toolkit by starting with original source material, stretching from the 1500s to 1865. Genealogical researchers, historians, and data specialists will source data about enslaved people of African descent from archives, libraries, genealogical and historical societies, and organizations around the world. The team will also seek input from communities of family historians around the country and encourage the public to submit material that contains names of people and locations.

“ABC News is proud to be the exclusive media partner on this historic project to tell the untold stories of familial histories that have been a mystery until now, and we are looking forward to serving our audiences with straightforward reporting that shines a light on this chapter in American history,” said ABC News President Kim Godwin.

“Slavery separated families and obscured family history. Before the 20th century, genealogical data about enslaved Africans and their descendants was often deliberately obscured, altered, or simply unrecorded in the first place. This lasting legacy of slavery–the erasure of family history–remains with us today,” said 10 Million Names’ Chief Historian Dr. Kendra Taira Field, Associate Professor of History, Co-founder of the Du Bois Forum, and Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at Tufts University.

“So while those Americans attempting to claim Mayflower ancestry have had ample records to prove it, African Americans who have been collecting their family histories and stories privately for centuries have not generally had easy access to collective repositories of genealogical data. This divergence is a stark reminder of our unequal and uneven access to our familial past,” Field concluded.

10 Million Names is uniting its efforts with a number of collaborating institutions, such as the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, and non-profit genealogical organizations, such as FamilySearch International, and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. In addition to Dr. Field, 10 Million Names is guided by a council of prominent scholars of African American history and studies that includes: Dr. Vincent Brown, Charles Warren Professor of History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University; Dr. Brandon M. Terry, John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University; Dr. Kerri Greenidge, Mellon Associate Professor in the Department of Studies of Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora at Tufts University; and Dr. Thavolia Glymph, Peabody Family Distinguished Professor of History and Professor of Law at Duke University.

The public is immediately invited to begin exploring the free, public website at 10MillionNames.org, where a small but growing number of datasets are available at present, with more to be added on a regular basis. The site offers resources for self-directed research into African American genealogy and interactive historical context for 10 Million Names. People are also encouraged to submit original family materials containing names and locations such as family trees, copies of diaries or letters, bible records, and interviews with relatives to help create a publicly accessible repository about African American ancestors. More detail about what materials 10 Million Names is seeking is available online, at 10MillionNames.org/share.

A heated pet bed that was purchased on Amazon.com caught alight in the victim’s home.

According to a lawsuit filed by Houston-based Paranjpe Mahadass Ruemke LLP or PMR law, Huntington resident Dion Adkins bought a heated petbed from Amazon.com for the mother who lived with him. The heated pet bed was used by their cats during the winter months.

The two were woken up by fire alarms one night in February of 2020. Mr. Adkins discovered that the pet bed was on fire when he went downstairs. The fire spread quickly and trapped his mother Drema in her upstairs bedroom. Mr. Adkins climbed a drainpipe to climb outside and reach the window of his mother’s room. Drema was killed by smoke inhalation, despite the efforts of her son to save her. The house was reduced into ashes.

Amazon’s site states that the heated pet bed is made by a Chinese company named “Hydogooho.” The team of trial lawyers at PMR Law discovered that the manufacturer did not exist, and there was no vetting procedure for items posted for sale on Amazon.

Amazon.com describes the product as “safe and effective: high/low temperature control.” This ensures its safety against overheating. The temperature can be set to up to 104 degrees F. This can prevent overheating and protect your pets.

The attorneys filed suit against Amazon based on a West Virginia retailer law and obtained justice for their clients in the form a confidential settlement.

The scholarships are for youth aged 10-18, who otherwise would not be able to enroll in summer camps without financial aid or subsidies. This initiative is designed to give these youths the opportunity to participate in 40 summer camps that are diverse across Canada.

IFCJ Canada, with the help of additional funding provided by the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation in Canada, has increased its support to the Summer Camps Israel “Matan” program. The increased contribution will allow 1,000 Israeli children and teenagers from families with limited resources to benefit from the valuable experience of Summer Camps Israel “Matan”.

The programs include camps where children at risk and children with special needs are integrated, a camp which brings together religious and secular youth to volunteer, and another that encourages youth of all religions – Muslims Jews Christians and others – to work together for the community. All camps that include accommodation for ten days or more are “phone-free”, allowing children to interact and learn more easily and naturally.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada was founded in 2003 with the goal of promoting better understanding and cooperation among Christians and Jews and building broad support for Israel. IFCJ Canada, a registered Canadian charity, is governed by a Board of Directors independent of the President and is led by Yael Eckstein. IFCJ Canada, which has been in existence for over 20 years, works with a worldwide network of Fellowship offices, including those located in the United States and Israel. The Fellowship today is one of Israel’s largest humanitarian aid providers and a major force in helping Jews worldwide. For more information, visit www.ifcj.ca.

]]> The Good And The Bad Of Tumble Dryer Balls. https://blog.light-of-reason.com/personal-blogs/the-good-and-the-bad-of-tumble-dryer-balls/ Thu, 03 Aug 2023 17:53:15 +0000 http://blog.light-of-reason.com/archive/the-good-and-the-bad-of-tumble-dryer-balls/ Dryer Balls save time and electricity.

Use your dryer for less time and save power.

dryer balls

Being a Tumble Dryer Engineer in addition to a user of the dryer in my own house, I am always researching for ways to reduce tumble dryer running costs as well as the quantity of additives or detergents required to clean and dry laundry.

I’ve been using and recommending tumble dryer balls now for a couple of years, having great results.

So what on earth are dryer balls?

They are comparable in size to a tennis ball and are covered in spikes and nodes. Bought as a pair of two, as a rule one is blue and one will be red or even pink. One will have more rounded spikes and nodes, one has more angular spikes and nodes.

Just simply load the dryer balls in to any tumble dryer and the washing. The idea is, when the clothes in the clothes dryer tumbles round, the laundry is constantly getting massaged because of the dryer balls. They’ve been designed to break down stiffness produced through water drying out. Meaning now there will be absolutely no call for for clothes softening or even conditioning sheets.

Second Saving.

As the dryer balls are continuously massaging your laundry throughout the tumble cycle, there’s no need to use fabric refresher in your washing machine either. As the dryer balls breakdown any hardness in your washing and soften the clothes as they tumble around.

Third Saving.

Because the dryer balls pick up and separate the washing when drying, that minimizes drying time and decreases creasing, that means you can actually dry a complete load in less time and fewer wrinkles mean less ironing.

Fourth Saving.

Typically the dryer balls will retain the heat and transfer it to the laundry when they tumble, further speeding up the drying period.

Fifth Saving.

Because a typical load of clothes will now be dry inside a shorter period than you are accustomed to, all the moving parts in the dryer are going to be working for much less total time, cutting down on wear and tear, friction, and on expensive tumble dryer repairs.

How to use Dryer Balls.

Dryer balls are re-usable. Whenever you go to lift out the dried laundry, simply leave the dryer balls in the tumble dryer, and so the next time the dryer is used, they’ll start working their magic as soon as the drier is switched on. Run your machine on the usual heat setting for the fabrics you might be drying, however be sure to select a reduced drying time.

What about Sensor Dryers?

Sensor dryers can simply workout the shorter drying time period automatically. Tumble Dryer Balls really are reusable for 100’s of times, therefore you’ll get the huge benefits repeatedly!

Any kind of downsides?

Yes there are actually a few things to be aware of.

1st Like numerous products these days, you will find fakes for sale which usually seem the same as the originals. For that reason you should buy through a reliable company and look for the dryer balls that have an unconditional 2 year exchange or return guarantee.

2nd Dryer balls can raise the noise from the dryer when they at times bounce of the steel drum as they tumble around, this is harmless.

3rd On a few very old tumble dryers, there can be white paint on the inside of the actual drum, as these dryers are older this paint can start to flake off and get mixed in with your laundry. In a few unusual instances dryer balls could make this worse. If your dryer is less than 10 years old, there won’t be any problem with this. If it is older, check that the painted drum is definitely in good shape.

Are Dryer Balls Good For Your Dryer?

Yes, dryer balls can be beneficial for your dryer and the laundry drying process. Dryer balls are typically made of materials like wool or plastic, and their primary function is to help soften fabrics and reduce drying time.

dryer balls

Here are some advantages of using dryer balls:

1 Softening fabrics: Dryer balls help to agitate and separate the laundry in the dryer, which can lead to softer clothes and linens. This is especially useful for items like towels and bed sheets.

2 Reducing drying time: By creating space between clothes and improving air circulation, dryer balls can accelerate the drying process. This can potentially save energy and reduce your utility bills.

3 Reducing wrinkles and static: The movement of dryer balls helps prevent clothes from clumping together, resulting in fewer wrinkles and less static cling.

4 Eco-friendly alternative: Dryer balls are a reusable and eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets, which are often single-use and produce more waste.

However, it’s essential to mention that dryer balls may not work as effectively with larger loads of laundry or with extremely bulky items. Some people might not notice a significant difference in drying time or fabric softness when using dryer balls.

If you decide to try dryer balls, it’s a good idea to use three or more balls for best results, and you can add a few drops of essential oil to the balls for a pleasant fragrance if desired.

In conclusion, while dryer balls can be beneficial for your dryer and laundry routine, the results may vary depending on your specific laundry load and preferences. Experimenting with them can help you determine if they are a good fit for your needs.

]]> Statement from the President of Honduras on Drug Trafficking https://blog.light-of-reason.com/personal-blogs/statement-from-the-president-of-honduras-on-drug-trafficking/ Thu, 25 Feb 2021 22:31:00 +0000 https://blog.light-of-reason.com/?p=1009 President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández

The President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, introduced to the National Congress a reform to toughen laws against maras and gangs, reaffirming his commitment to continue the fight against transnational crime until the last day of his government “I do not know any other way to live but to fight against evil”.

Hernandez spoke before the country´s legislature and if asked about The documents filled from the US prosecutors suggesting that the president was under investigation, he voiced that a individual in collusion with drug trafficking wouldn’t have accepted the extradition of alleged drug dealers or the purging of the National Police, talking about this and other steps against transnational crime in Honduras.

The president remarked that the drug lords found the magic trick to go by surrendering, negotiating and accusing the Honduras officials who captured, extradited and put them behind bars.”

He also said that he is hopeful that”the next government will Continue the battle against transnational crime, such as the peace and tranquility of Hondurans, and also be willing to build on which Honduras has attained, since then the nation can definitely win the war against criminals, gangs and drug trafficking”.

Since Juan Orlando Hernández presided over the National Congress, the bases to resist against drug trafficking began to be laid.

President Hernández pointed out it is essential to remind the nation how things were a decade ago and how Honduras was about to become a failed state. “Less than fifteen Years Back, that the US embassy in Honduras Said that the government at that time was closely linked to organized crime that close collaboration between the forces of order was hopeless,” said the president.

In addition, he said that medication Cartels and gangs operated with impunity, and when they went to prison, it did not matter since they controlled the prison system.

Hernández also remembered that less than ten years ago Honduras had the maximum homicide rate in the entire world and extradition did not exist, because it wasn’t allowed by the Constitution.

“The National Police was penetrated by organized crime, to such a degree which, based on confessed drug traffickers, they correlated with senior police officers to assassinate the head of the anti-drug unit,” he said.

Hernández confirmed the situation in 2010, when he assumed the presidency of the National Congress, was difficult. However, the legislature passed a string of eight security laws that were despised and feared by drug traffickers.

He worried That laws were passed to confiscate the assets of organized crime, making it clear that the constraint of the confiscation of resources would be in the hands of the Public Ministry and the Judiciary, independent Condition Powers and institutions within this Central American country.

From That perspective, he suggested that anybody could see”who’s who”, since no one linked to drug trafficking or intimidated by drug lords would ever fight to confiscate the assets of criminals.

Numerous gaming YouTubers have been recommending this zombie apocalypse-themed mobile game. And players worldwide have been playing it, according to the App Store and Google Play download rankings. 37GAMES’ latest product found a critical and commercial success thanks to its unique, innovative combination of puzzle gameplay and strategy wargame elements.

Judging by the game’s name, one might come to the conclusion that it’s either another Candy Crush clone or a horror survival shooter. But according to the said YouTubers’ hands-on impressions, it’s none of those. It’s something new.

Puzzles & Survival mixes Match-3 with Strategy gameplay. This is something the video game industry has rarely seen. And the combination is surprisingly good!

The turn-based match-3 gameplay is intuitive and addictive. Players match tiles to deal damage to the zombies (and other players too). Those who are good at puzzle games will surely know how to pull off massive combos to defeat strong opponents in a jiffy.

Matching tiles also accumulate heroes’ skill gauge. When the gauge is full, the player can cast the hero’s awesome, powerful skill on the enemy. There are various types of hero skills: Damage, Buff, Debuff, Damage Over Time, etc. They no doubt deepen the match-3 puzzle mechanic. And the special effects look cool on a mobile phone!

Similar to other strategy wargames, players will need allies to survive in the world of Puzzles & Survival. The resources obtained from the match-3 gameplay will help upgrade heroes and in turn power up the sanctuary and alliance. Which heroes should be your main? This question requires some strategic thinking!

And players all around the world seem to love the game too! The hero roster in this game is nothing short of diversity. There are heroes from all kinds of backgrounds and races. There’s this badass looking Japanese school girl wielding two swords against zombies. A fearsome dude named Dr. J who looks a bit like a certain world-famous jester. And there are more.
