Best Selling Books by Chris Anderson

This hands-on guide addresses virtually every aspect of tracing Germanic lineage. Written for beginners, it covers the basics of genealogy, clearly explaining how to plan, organize and begin searching. Also addressed are the unique challenges associated with Germanic ancestral research and proven ways to overcome them -- including how to locate and interpret vital emigration records. Also provided is a history of Germanic countries and their changing boundaries to help researchers determine the events that led their ancestors to emigrate.

Johannes Fuchs was born ca. 1672-5. He married (1) Margarethe before 1702 and (2) Anna Barbara Bouffei. He later died in 1741 in Urexweiler, Saarland, Germany. Some descendants immigrated to the U.S. One was Nikolaus Rohner (1791-1857),who was born in 1791 in Urexweiler. He came to the U.S. in 1837 and eventually settled in Hocking County, Ohio. Several other descendants also settled in Hocking County, including Johann Lorenz Rectenwald (in 1849) with some siblings; Johann Georg Fuchs (John G. Fox) (1834-1911) with brothers Nicolaus (1838-1884), Jacob (1845-1920), and parents Jakob and Anna Maria Kelin Fuchs; and Wilhelm Zewe (Savey) and Anna Maria Fuchs.

Cet ouvrage expose le travail le plus important de l'artiste JR – le projet de "street art" mondial sur lequel il a travaillé durant les six dernières années. Des banlieues parisiennes à Israël et à la Palestine, des villages du Kenya aux favelas brésiliennes, son art est étroitement lié à son activisme : il défend les droits universels de la femme, la paix et l'égalité. "Inside Out" dévoile sa vision et son modèle novateur d'art à l'échelle mondiale. Riche de plusieurs centaines d'images du projet, le livre inclut également des contributions sur la manière dont l'art de JR fonctionne comme une plateforme internationale d'échange social.

The growing number of traffic safety strategies, including the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and lowcost proactive safety improvement (LCPSI), call for an integrated approach to optimize resource allocation systematically and proactively. While most of the currently used standard methods such as the six-step method that identify and eliminate hazardous locations serve their purpose well, they represent a reactive approach that seeks improvement after crashes happen. In this project, a decision support system with Geographic Information System (GIS) interface is developed to proactively optimize the resource allocation of traffic safety improvement strategies. With its optimization function, the decision support system is able to suggest a systematically optimized implementation plan together with the associated cost once the concerned areas and possible countermeasures are selected. It proactively improves the overall traffic safety by implementing the most effective safety strategies that meet the budget to decrease the total number of crashes to the maximum degree. The GIS interface of the decision support system enables the users to select concerned areas directly from the map and calculates certain inputs automatically from parameters related to the geometric design and traffic control features. An associated database is also designed to support the system so that as more data are input into the system, the calibration factors and crash modification functions used to calculate the expected number of crashes will be continuously updated and refined.
