History[edit | edit source]
East Tennessee county established in 1786. Originally known as the Carter's Valley Settlement, from 1785 to 1789, this land was also claimed by the abortive, short-lived State of Franklin Genealogy.
The county is named after North Carolina Senator Benjamin Hawkins (1754-1816).[2]
The land of Hawkins County was first organized by the State of Franklin Genealogy in March 1786 from parts of Sullivan and Greene counties under the name Spencer County.[3] It seems to have included at least the present area of Hawkins County. However, the Franklin statehood effort collapsed by 1789. Spencer county existed only briefly, its legality is questionable, and little trace remains.
The research of René Jordan shows that a small segment of present-day Hawkins County was inhabited by people who considered themselves Virginians, not North Carolinians. Their wills and other records can be found in Washington County, Virginia.Later in 1786 the North Carolina legislature reconstituted a parallel-county of Franklin's Spencer County and called it Hawkins County. It was known by both county names while Franklin's statehood efforts lasted.[4]Now the land on which the lost county of Spencer County was located is known as Hawkins County, Tennessee Genealogy. By the time of the 1790 census of the Southwest Territory (proto-Tennessee), the County of Hawkins also included parts of modern Claiborne, Hancock, Union, Grainger, Hamblen, Anderson, Knox, Jefferson, Roane, and Loudon counties.[5]
Early boundaries of Hawkins County, as researched by René Jordan, extended from the Virginia border to the Georgia border, overlapping lands released by applicable treaties. (See map and timetable at TNGenWeb site.)
In 1796 the land of Hawkins County (formerly Spencer County) became part of the new State of Tennessee. This area is where many Melungeons are believed to have settled. The Melungeon page identifies surnames believed to be associated with this group.
Parent County[edit | edit source]

Solving the parallel computing problem will require a universal computing model that is easy to program and is equally at home in all types of computing environments. In addition, the applications must be rock-solid. Such a model must implement fine-grained parallelism within a deterministic processing environment. This, in essence, is what I am proposing.
No Threads
The solution to the parallel programming problem is to do away with threads altogether. Threads are evil. There is a way to design and program a parallel computer that is 100% threadless. It is based on a method that has been around for decades. Programmers have been using it to simulate parallelism in such apps as neural networks, cellular automata, simulations, video games and even VHDL. Essentially, it requires two buffers and an endless loop. While the parallel objects in one buffer are being processed, the other buffer is filled with the objects to be processed in the next cycle. At the end of the cycle, the buffers are swapped and the cycle begins anew. Two buffers are used in order to prevent racing conditions. This method guarantees rock-solid deterministic behavior and is thus free of all the problems associated with multithreading. Determinism is essential to mission and safety-critical environments where unreliable software is not an option.
Speed, Transparency and Universality
The two-buffer/loop mechanism described above works great in software but only for coarse-grain objects such as neurons in a network or cells in a cellular automaton. For fine-grain parallelism, it must be applied at the instruction level. That is to say, the processor instructions themselves become the parallel objects. However, doing so in software would be much too slow. What is needed is to make the mechanism an inherent part of the processor itself by incorporating the two buffers on the chip and use internal circuitry for buffer swapping. Of course, this simple two-buffer system can be optimized for performance by adding one or more buffers for use with an instruction prefetch mechanism if so desired. Additionally, since the instructions in the buffer are independent, there is no need to process them sequentially with a traditional CPU. Ideally, the processor core should be a pure MIMD (multiple instructions, multiple data) vector core, which is not to be confused with a GPU core, which uses an SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) configuration.
The processor can be either single core or multicore. In a multicore processor, the cores would divide the instruction load in the buffers among themselves in a way that is completely transparent to the programmer. Adding more cores would simply increase processing power without having to modify the programs. Furthermore, since the model uses fine-grain parallelism and an MIMD configuration, the processor is universal, meaning that it can handle all types of applications. There is no need to have a separate processor for graphics and another for general purpose computing. A single homogeneous processor can do it all. This approach to parallelism will do wonders for productivity and make both GPUs and traditional CPUs obsolete.
Easy to Program
The main philosophy underlying this parallel processing model is that software should behave logically more like hardware. A program is thus a collection of elementary objects that use signals to communicate. This approach is ideal for graphical programming and the use of plug-compatible components. Just drag them and drop them, and they connect themselves automatically. This will open up programming to a huge number of people that were heretofore excluded.
Admittedly, the solution I am proposing will require a reinvention of the computer and of software construction methodology, as we know them. But there is no stopping it. The sooner we get our heads out of the threaded sand and do the right thing, the better off we will be.

Tom, 51, learned that he had a benign brain tumor 9 years ago, but he and his family continue to live a rich life as they weather the effects of his condition. He is presently on leave from his job as a chemistry lab director for a large pharmaceutical company, but he is still able to drive and maintain an active lifestyle. Here's his story.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
Out of the blue, I had a 36-hour period during which I had repeated seizures-the doctors called them "absence" seizures–I just wouldn't quite be there for a few minutes. Then I thought I heard a mouse in the dining room, though there was nothing there, and while I was down on the floor by the wall looking for it, I became aware that my wife was talking to me, but I was unable to answer her.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
We saw the doctor the following day, and I had an MRI a week later. By the time we got home from the MRI, the doctor had already called to tell us to make an appointment to see him immediately, and he had a neurologist waiting when I got there. They'd found a slow-growing tumor that they wanted to try to remove surgically. Although they emphasized that this was very serious, they didn't think it needed emergency treatment. They were very responsive, though, to my request that they operate as soon as possible. I had my first surgery within two weeks of the diagnosis.
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
Initially it was like, "You're kidding me!" but that very first phone message drove home how serious this was. My wife and I just wanted to do whatever we could to take care of it as quickly as possible. That was 9 years ago, and I've had time to really process it, but it's still as scary today as it was on that first day.
How is your brain tumor treated?
I've had surgery twice-in 1993 and again in 2000. In the initial surgery they weren't able to remove much of the tumor. They likened it to trying to scoop up cottage cheese; the tumor didn't have clear boundaries and had penetrated deeply into my brain. In 2000, I had more of the tumor removed during a new procedure they were using in Boston, in which they use the MRI during surgery to guide them as they proceed. I also had a course of radiation treatments afterwards to address the residual tumor, and I've been on anti-seizure medications since the first surgery-first Tegretol and now Dilantin.
Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to your brain tumor?
Fatigue, alcohol, and stress all have the potential to precipitate seizures, so I can't have even a glass of wine. Also, I try to reduce stress in my job; at the moment I'm on leave from work.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
My family has been fabulous. My wife, a cardiac nurse, helps me to research my treatment options and look for second and third opinions. We have a very supportive network at our church and in our neighborhood, and my brothers and sisters have been there for us every minute.
Does your brain tumor have any impact on your family?
My son was 5 when I was diagnosed and my daughter was 9. This was particularly tough on them, especially on my daughter, who was old enough to begin to grasp how serious this could be. And of course my wife has had to be like a single parent at times. Now that I'm on leave, I'm Mr. Mom at home, and I deal with the house, but she manages the finances at present-one of the symptoms that led up to the second surgery is that I'd begun to make errors in the checkbook.
What advice would you give to anyone living with a brain tumor?
Find a supportive network of friends and family. Keep talking to the doctors; be persistent in asking about treatment options and new developments. If you're uncomfortable negotiating the medical maze, find a liaison who can translate things into layman's terms. And learn to relax and nap during MRIs!
Interviews were conducted in the past and may not reflect current standards and practices in medicine. Talk to your doctor to learn more about how this condition is diagnosed and managed today and what treatment approaches are right for you.

In 9, deadly machines wipe out the human race and the only creatures left alive are... ragdolls? Okay. But those hempen freedom-fighters aren't necessarily the weirdest people to survive the apocalypse. Here are the top 10 most unlikely apocalyptic survivors.
The Dog from A Boy And His Dog
This movie, based on a story by Harlan Ellison, contains a heartwarming relationship between 18-year-old Vic (Don Johnson) and his telepathic, super-intelligent dog Blood. It's just like Peabody the time-traveling professor dog in those cartoons — except that Blood helps Vic find women to rape and food to eat. At the end of the movie, Vic has to choose between the love of a (not terribly) nice woman and keeping Blood from starving — and a shot of meat roasting while Blood talks about how the woman didn't have such great taste gives you a hint of what Vic chooses.
Okay sure, you expect robots to survive the death of the planet — it's what robots do. But you might not expect there to be only one robot left on an otherwise desolate world — and for it to be a cute trash-compacting bot that befriends a cockroach and is obsessed with Barbra Streisand. Admit it — you didn't see that one coming.
Pets, generally
Check out this amazing clip from Exterminators: After The Year 3000, the film with the best title ever. Scroll forward to around 1:00 in — the cute kid in the convoy fleeing from the evil punk-rockers has his pet hamster with him! It's the amazing post-apocalyptic survival hamster. A lion survives in Twelve Monkeys. There's also a lion, as well as Kevin Costner's mule, in The Postman. And the tough post-apocalyptic hunter Harry in the movie Hard Knuckle has a little rat dog in his front pocket, sort of like a post-apocalyptic purse dog. (See awesome picture at the link.) Why is there always a lovable pet after a disaster has wiped out most of humanity?
Kids, generally.
As random dissheveled guy points out in this clip from the upcoming The Road, you don't really expect to see kids surviving a disaster that kills most of the adults. And yet, lots of them do somehow. Including the kid narrator in Mad Max, the gang of children in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Newt in Aliens, and Ed in Cowboy Bebop. Thanks to Madeline Ashby and JungleMonkey on Twitter for suggesting this one!
The mall girls in Night Of The Comet
The deadly radiation from the red comet passing over the Earth wipes out everybody — except for Sam and Regina, two valley girls, who just want to have fun. And go shopping, at the mall, even if it's full of zombies. (It's a well known fact that zombies love shopping malls.) Thanks to Misty S. and S.J. Edwards for suggesting this film!
The Book Of Dave by Will Self
Dave is an obnoxious, mentally ill cab driver in London, who scribbles in his notebook about the rules for surviving London traffic and his hatred of his ex-wife, who's keeping him from having custody of his son. He buries his book, and 500 years later, it's dug up after a flood destroys everything. And it becomes the foundation of a whole new misogynistic religion based on this crazy guy's ramblings. There have been plenty of other stories about bits of cultural flotsam surviving after everything else is gone — Mickey Mouse does it quite often — but this may be the weirdest.
Dinosaurs in Yor, The Hunter From The Future
You have to admit, you didn't expect dinosaurs to survive after the human race was all but wiped out, did you? Just like Planet of the Apes, Yor features a weird primitive world that appears to be the past at first, but which turns out to be our distant future. And somehow the dinosaurs have bounced back, maybe thanks to the radiation. They were only taking a siesta! There's also an android army, which makes a bit more sense.
Amazons in Warriors Of The Apocalypse
Nobody ever expects Amazon warriors to survive a global genocide. And even if you did, you wouldn't expect them to be amazons with eye-lasers, who get into an eye-laser-battle with some other dudes. Another runner up is the 1982 movie SHE, in which a giant in a tutu, a mummy in sunglasses, a Samurai, and bondage freaks all survive the end of the world.
Bob McKenzie in The Mutants of 2051 A.D., as featured in Strange Brew
Okay, so maybe you expected dinosaurs, purse dogs and Valley Girls to survive a planetary die-off. But Bob McKenzie? The co-host of Great White North, that recurring sketch on SCTV, eh? You really really didn't expect him to be the last human still alive. Check out his amazing technique for dealing with a post-apocalyptic mutant who's really not friendly. Thanks to Jeff Sparkman for suggesting this one! Another somewhat unlikely "last man" is Yorick in Y: The Last Man, who's just sort of a slacker escape artist — but he survives the disaster that kills all other men because he eats monkey poop.
Nuns often seem to survive the death of humanity — maybe it's their religious faith, maybe it's the fact that they're sequestered from contagion and zombie outbreaks. Most awesomely, Donald G. Jackson's fantastic movie Rollerblade features a world where rollerblading nuns (with Nazi-esque emblems on their uniforms) keep the world safe from evil mutants — while rollerblading. (And they also use a switchblade to heal all wounds, causing a glowy smiley face to appear.) There are also some nuns holding out against the evil dolls-head-loving bikers in Survival Zone. And of course, who can forget Michelle Yeoh as a lone nun after the fall of civilization in Babylon A.D.? I'm sure Yeoh still has nightmares about it.
Thanks to S.J. Edwards, Madeline Ashby, Rory aka Cthul-who, Glamtasm, Jeff Sparkman, Luis Alberto Urrea and anyone else who helped.

On 18 May 2005, the US based Human Rights Watch ("HRW") issued a 28-page report ("the HRW Report") concerning the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran ("PMOI / MEK"). Entitled 'No Exit: Human Rights Abuses Inside the MKO Camps', the HRW Report was essentially based on 12 hours of telephone interviews with 12 witnesses who were allegedly subjected to detention and torture whilst in PMOI / MEK camps. In breach of the Istanbul Protocol for investigating cases of alleged torture, HRW failed to (i) interview the PMOI / MEK , thereby providing it with a right of reply, (ii) obtain physical evidence of the alleged torture, or (iii) visit the alleged place of torture.
The HRW Report drew ire from political, legal and human rights circles around the world. HRW was inundated with communications expressing objections to the findings of the HRW Report, which in the view of many was based on deeply flawed methodology, relied solely on the testimonies of 12 witnesses whose veracity is in serious doubt, and appeared to be improperly political in nature.
In light of the torrent of criticism leveled at HRW and genuine concerns about its findings, Friends of a Free Iran ("FOFI") an Inter-Parliamentary group at the European Parliament, decided to scrutinize the findings of the HRW Report and to conduct its own independent investigation into the allegations contained therein. Following months of detailed investigation, including research on websites opposed to the PMOI / MEK, consideration of literature sent to Parliamentarians containing various allegations against the PMOI / MEK, and having visited Camp Ashraf (the location of the alleged abuses) in July 2005, FOFI presented its findings and the contents of its substantial report, 'People's Mojahedin of Iran - Mission Report', ("the FOFI Report") at the European Parliament on 21 September 2005.
The HRW report was seen widely as an Iranian regime's failed attempt to keep the name of the PMOI / MEK in the U.S. terrorist listing. The US based "Iran Policy Committee"(IPC) reported: »Mentioning IPC by name in May 2005, an American organization, Human Rights Watch (HRW), disagreed with the IPC recommendation to remove the MEK from the FTO list. HRW launched an attack against the MEK by releasing a 28-page report, "No Exit: Human Rights Abuses inside the MKO Camps." The report contains telephone interviews with 12 "former" MEK members. And HRW considers their statements as "credible claims that they were subjected to imprisonment as well as physical and psychological abuses...The IPC appointed a Task Force on Human Rights to investigate allegations about the MEK and its related groups and claims against that organization by the HRW. IPC research concludes that the "credible claims" of HRW are actually statements by agents of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (VEVAK / MOIS), especially Mohammad- Hossein Sobhani and Farhad Javaheri-Yar. Tehran sent most of those interviewed by Human Rights Watch from Iran to Europe for the purpose of demonizing its main opposition, the MEK.«
Here there are two reports by FOFI and one by IPC amongst thousands of reports, letters and articles dealing with the HRW publication, as a biased report on the PMOI / MEK.

I started out with Sinful Colors Easy Going. The name seems to really match my mood at the moment. I stamped using Borghese Mezzanotte Blue and a flower image from the plate M63. Mezzanotte Blue is a very pigmented dark navy blue. In a full manicure it is so dark that most of the time it looks black, but it was perfect for stamping. To the center of the flower I added a small (2mm) pink rhinestone.
Sinful Colors Easy Going is a very light pink cream. It is almost white with just a hint of pink. The formula on this was great, opaque in two coats. The brush, however, was very stiff and left scratch marks in the polish. I have a feeling this is just a problem with the bottle that I have, since I don't usually have problems with Sinful Colors brushes. I applied three coats to even everything out and that worked just fine. This is with a top coat...
|Swatch Details
|Brand: Sinful Colors
Collection: Main Line
Color Name/Number: Easy Going, 300
Number of coats: 3
Top Coat: Yes

I hope you like my last minute attempt at the stamping challenge. I'd love to know what you think!
Thanks for looking!

President Obama will be guilty of an impeachable offense if he intervenes militarily in Syria's civil war without authorization from Congress, according to a resolution introduced in Congress by Rep. Walter B. Jones, Jr.
House Concurrent Resolution No. 40 declares "the sense of Congress" to be that " the President is prohibited under the Constitution from the offensive use of the United States Armed Forces in Syria without prior express authorization by an Act of Congress or without a prior express appropriation of funds for that purpose by an Act of Congress…. The President's defiance of those constitutional limits on his authority to initiate war would constitute an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution."
The Obama administration has called on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to abdicate in the civil war that has taken the lives of more than 93,000 people in Syria, and has recently announced that the United States would be sending offensive arms to the rebel forces attempting to overthrow the regime. But the president has not intervened with military action of our own, despite calls for it by some members of Congress, most notably John McCain, (R-Ariz.), Obama's opponent in the 2008 election. McCain and fellow Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have said the United States need not put "boots on the ground" in Syria, but could help the rebels by attacking government planes and airfields with Patriot missiles and by providing a "safe zone" for the insurrectionists along the Turkish border. Obama did intervene with an air campaign against government forces in the Libyan civil war that overthrew Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. That move appeared to backfire when heavily armed militants attacked a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, killing the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
The Jones resolution warns that military aid to the Syrian insurgents carries with it the risk of "blowback," recalling the weapons and other assistance given insurgents in Afghanistan fighting the Soviet occupation in the 1980's. The Afghan Taliban and other radical Muslims turned on the United States, culminating in "the 9-11 abominations," the resolution states.
Jones, 70, is in his tenth term in the House. He was initially a strong supporter of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime in 2003 that led to a nearly nine-year long war against insurgents in that country. He even joined with other members of Congress in the successful effort to have French fries renamed "Freedom fries" in the congressional dining rooms as a protest against France's refusal to support the Untied States' unsuccessful effort to gain a United Nations resolution supporting war on Iraq. Jones turned against the war effort when Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction were not found. He co-sponsored a resolution calling for the withdrawal of U.S forces to begin by October 2006 and supported a later resolution setting a withdrawal deadline of September 1, 2008. U.S. combat unites finally left at the end of 2011.
Jones also attributed his turnabout on the war to the experience of attending the funeral of a soldier from his district killed in Iraq and hearing a reading of his final letter home. The war took the lives of nearly 5,000 Americans, while leaving at least 100,000 Iraqis dead and some two million more homeless. The cost to the United States has been a trillion or more dollars, with the costs continuing to rise with ongoing medical care for those wounded and maimed in the war.
"We cannot continue to spend American money and risk American lives overseas without a vote of approval from Congress," Jones said in a press release posted on his web site. "For too long, the legislature's responsibility to authorize military force has been overlooked. It is time that we uphold the Constitution, which makes it clear in Article 1, Section 8 that Congress alone holds the power to declare war. A breach of that principle by the president would unquestionably be considered an impeachable offense."
A president may be impeached by a simple majority of the House of Representatives. He then must be tried by the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required to remove a president from office. Two presidents have been impeached, though neither was expelled by the Senate. Andrew Johnson, who became president upon the death of Abraham Lincoln, was impeached in a separation of powers dispute with Congress. The House voted for impeachment in 1868 after Johnson had fired Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in violation of the Tenure of Office Act. Johnson survived the trial, with the Senate vote one short of the 36 needed for removal. Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 over charges of perjury concerning his sexual misconduct, and was also acquitted in the Senate trial. A House committee drew up articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon in 1974 for various offenses committed in the scandal known as Watergate, but Nixon resigned before the issue reached the full House.
It remains to be seen if the Obama administration's arming of Syrian rebels and the stationing of a Patriot missile system and troops in Turkey will lead to American "boots on the ground" in Syria after all. Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who was McCain's running mate in the 2008 campaign, recently noted that both sides in the Syrian civil war claim to be killing each other for Allah. "I say let Allah sort it out," Palin said in what columnist Pat Buchanan has approvingly dubbed "the Palin doctrine." It is a "doctrine" the president of the United States might well heed. Allah, after all, can't be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Barrack Obama could be.

Recipe from Janet McLaurin of Miss.
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of early June peas
1 can of whole kernel corn
4 to 6 chicken leg quarters
1.5 cup of long grain rice
Boil chicken until meat easily slides off bones. Remove from broth and debone. Boil rice in chicken broth. Drain but DO NOT rinse rice. Mix together cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, whole kernel corn, early june peas, rice and deboned/shredded chicken. After thoroughly mixing, pour into large casserole dish.
If you know how to make breaded crust, do so, instead of the biscuits. If you are like me and can only use canned biscuits, then have at it! Season chicken to taste before layering with biscuits and then place in oven and bake at 350 degrees until crust is golden brown.
*This should, if you do it right, taste like a deep dish chicken pot pie. VERY inexpensive and lasts
for quite awhile in the freezer for all of you single folks! Enjoy!

Freeman v. United States
|Docket No.
|Op. Below
|6th Cir.
Feb 23, 2011
|Jun 23, 2011
Holding: When, pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(C), a defendant enters into a plea agreement that recommends a particular sentence as a condition of a guilty plea, he may be eligible for a sentence reduction if the U.S. Sentencing Commission later lowers the sentencing range.
Judgment: Reversed and remanded, 5-4, in an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy on June 23, 2011. Justice Sotomayor filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, which is controlling. She would hold that if a plea agreement pursuant to Rule 11(c)(1)(C) expressly uses a Sentencing Guidelines sentencing range applicable to the charged offense to establish the term of imprisonment, and that range is subsequently lowered by the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the term of imprisonment is then 'based on†the range employed and the defendant is eligible for sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c). Because the petitioner's plea agreement expressly ties the recommended range to the Guidelines sentencing range, she would allow the petitioner in this case to seek a sentence reduction. The Chief Justice filed a dissenting opinion, which Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito joined.

TOLES means TEST OF LEGAL ENGLISH SKILLS
TOLES examination series is structured as follows:
The exam tests a candidate's ability to use the authentic legal English required by international law firms.
Time: 2 hours
Skills: Reading and writing
Focus: Legal language in an authentic context
Level of general English: Upper Intermediate - Advanced
What you need to know:
This qualification is the highest level TOLES exam. This exam remains unchanged. It consists of one paper – 2 hours of reading and writing. Active, accurate knowledge and use of legal vocabulary is tested, together with the skills that are part of a lawyer's everyday life:
• letter writing,
• understanding and explaining complex legal documents,
• drafting as used by a modern commercial lawyer.
• It is suitable for lawyers, translators, interpreters and law students.
• No listening or speaking skills are tested at this level as law firms report that these skills are apparent to them at interview.
• Maximum score is 500 points
GOLD (451-500) - The candidate has excellent general English skills and is assessed as having excellent legal English skills
ORANGE (401-450) - This candidate has very good general English skills and is assessed as having very good legal English skills
RED (301-400) - This candidate has well-above general English skills and good legal English skills
PURPLE (201-300) - This candidate has good general English skills and is assessed as having satisfactory legal English skills
BLUE (101-200) - This candidate has an above average level of general English skills and is assessed as having approaching satisfactory legal English skills
GREEN (0-100) - This candidate may have a good knowledge of general English but is assessed as having only basic legal English skills.
The exam tests knowledge and use of legal vocabulary.
Time: Paper 1 - 90 minutes, Paper 2 - 30 minutes
Skills: Reading and writing; listening
Focus: Using vocabulary appropriately and accurately; the register of legal language
Level of general English: Pre-Intermediate - Upper Intermediate
The TOLES Higher examination is a logical progression from the TOLES Foundation examination.
TOLES Higher is based upon familiarity with and active use of the vocabulary introduced and tested at TOLES Foundation level.
The examination also tests new skills that are appropriate at this intermediate level of learning legal English.
TOLES Higher continues to encourage the ethos of learner independence that runs throughout the TOLES series. It continues a step-by-step approach to studying and testing and promotes the skills and knowledge necessary to go on to the most demanding level of legal English at TOLES Advanced level.
The examination has a strong focus upon the language of written contracts and accurate letter writing in that it is based on consultations with law firms as to candidates' true needs in the workplace.
It also provides a solid grounding for a study of law in a UK or US university law faculty.
The TOLES Higher examination is modern and up-to-date. It takes account of the significant language reforms in the English legal system and the legal profession's continued movement towards clearer use of English as recommended on Legal Practice Courses at all major UK universities and legal training centres.
The TOLES Higher examination requires little or no knowledge of English law or American law. A basic awareness of the use of common law as opposed to a civil code would be an advantage in that it gives candidates a useful overview, but it is by no means necessary. Knowledge of law is not tested at any stage but knowledge of legal vocabulary is fundamental. TOLES Higher specifically requires an active knowledge of, and a sensitivity to use of register in, the following general areas:
• the language of discussing the Legal Profession and the Legal System
• the language of Contract law
• the language of Business and Company law
• the language of Banking and Finance
• the language of the law of Tort
• the language of Employment law
• the language of Property/real estate
• the language of Intellectual Property law
• the language of European Union law
• the vocabulary of written contracts
• the vocabulary of oral contracts
• ability to read texts on legal topics in all major areas of law
• collocation in all areas of legal communication
• preposition in all areas of legal communication
• modern letter writing
• the style of written contracts
• listening for gist, comprehension and specific vocabulary
Study materials:
The following materials are all of use for candidates who are preparing for TOLES Higher:
• The Lawyer's English Language Coursebook
Author: Catherine Mason and Rosemary Atkins.
Publisher: Global Legal English (available 2007)
Contains Audio CD and answer key.
• An Essential A-Z of Business Law (second edition)
Publisher: Cambridge Law Studio
Description. A vocabulary workbook giving clear and precise definitions of essential legal vocabulary with exercises to follow. Contains answer key.
The exam tests knowledge and understanding of essential legal vocabulary.
Time: 90 minutes
Skills: Reading and writing
Focus: Vocabulary in context
Level of general English: Elementary-Advanced
TOLES Foundation is ideal for candidates of all levels of general English. For candidates who are at a lower level of general English, this exam is appropriate for inclusion in a legal English course that introduces essential legal vocabulary in a controlled way. To encourage accuracy at all levels of the TOLES series, prepositions are tested. As far as possible, the preferred tense is present/past simple, active voice. There is a strong focus upon understanding legal vocabulary in context and success in the exam requires sensitivity to how vocabulary is actually used as opposed to learning words in isolation from authentic text. TOLES Foundation is also a challenging exam for candidates who already possess good general English and are now acquiring legal vocabulary.
No listening or speaking skills are tested, as they can be more than adequately tested by general/business English exams at this level.

Schedules Direct has been operating since 2007 to provide a stable environment for non-commercial media applications to receive TV listings data, but that does not mean things never change!
We have been informed that Gracenote (formerly Tribune Media Services) will be ending the guide data service currently used by most users of Schedules Direct. Their plan is to end support for this service on November 1, 2014.
Thankfully there is no need to panic, as Schedules Direct was already hard at work implementing a more modern JSON-based service using newer/better data feeds from TMS. This service offers the following improvements:
- More efficient "differential" transfer method. You only download the data that changes. Mid-day updates are fast and efficient.
- The ability to combine multiple source feeds into one output product.
- Lineups contain information about when they were last changed, so your application can always have the correct map of channels and stationID.
- Additional data fields, including:
- "season/episode" numbering!
- Images for cast, episodes
- Recommendations for other programs that are similar to the one that you're watching.
- NFL Sunday Ticket Details!!!!
- Completely custom lineups, including "Free to Air" Satellite
- ability to share QAM tuning info
- Additional International Lineups
In addition to the JSON service, a separate service is being developed to mimic the DataDirect feed. It's not ready yet but should be able to provide basic functionality for those legacy applications that can't move to JSON. It is expected to have most, but not all of the data currently in the Data Direct feed and will be updated daily. More details will be available about this later.
In the past, folks have asked for the "announcement" forum to be used only for annoucements. I've set up a general discussion thread for discussion viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2577.

Stable pay, but the parent company Nichii Gakkan has no experience in the eikaiwa industry he says. So, they are just throwing down a lot of money to carve out a huge piece of the market without having done the market research. This has caused lots of stress in his school. His manager is very inexperienced, and is rude to the teachers. School is very overpriced and they can't get many students. His overall message was it is an average school and that there is a lot of unneeded stress on the job because the parent company changes their policies every other month.
