This blog is going through a rethink and rework as of 12.11.11. New material or changes will be in bold type.
What exactly was going on in those supposed British enclaves in the east … if that's what they were? Were they also at peace? How would the 'Saxons' react in those areas that surround these enclaves after a defeat or defeats? It may depend on the treaty agreed. But what would stop them later on, after 20 years or so? These enclaves either had some serious military power or some kind of 'friendship' with the 'Saxons' There are theories that the Britons did indeed take back 'Saxon' territory. John Morris puts it forward but so does Professor Howard Wiseman (who may be a physicist but his Early Medieval studies have been quoted by Snyder, Higham and Halsall).
For Howard it may be to do with the later 'Saxon' expansion and victories at Bedcanford (identified as Bedford) and other sites in 571, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles (ACS). These are generally thought to have been British enclaves taken by a newly formed West Saxons kingdom. However, this theory puts forward that after Badon (or even before) the British regained territory and this territory went beyond Bedford. Howard has given me permission to use two maps he created.
(Maps used with kind permission of Professor Howard Wiseman.The page containing it can be found at http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/wiseman/DECB/DECBbestest.html )
Howard explains MAP ONE thusly (with reference numbers removed):
"[...] this map descends into speculation in showing precise political boundaries in Britain at the time of Gildas. However, in many of these I have been guided by the work of the respected archaeologist and historian Ken Dark. I have also been guided by the distribution of archaeological sites [...] The names given to the Brittonic states are those of the corresponding Roman civitates when these are attested by post-Roman inscription, or by Gildas. When Roman names are not so attested, a Brittonic name is used. Some of these (Reged, Gwent, Glevissig) are well-attested in the early Middle Ages, while others (Calchvynydd, Barroc, Ebrauc) are only attested in later documents [...]"
On MAP TWO (with reference numbers removed):
"The above map was scanned from the 2000 book by Dark, which shows 5th and 6th century Germanic cemeteries in Britain. Of these I have erased those cemeteries which came into use only in the later 6th century, according to the maps of Morris. Then I have added Roman towns, villas, and forts for which there is archaeological or literary material indicating probable occupation after 490. The data for these sites are taken from the detailed descriptions in the 1998 book by Snyder, occasionally supplemented by Dark. An example of such archaeological evidence is the presence of coins of Emperor Anastasius (491-518), or datable Mediterranean pottery. An example of reliable literary evidence for occupation is that for Luguvalium (Carlisle), which still had a functioning Roman aqueduct and fountain in the late 7th century. These Germanic and Brittonic sites thus should give a picture of Gildas' partitioned Britain (c. 530). As the map shows, Brittonic and Germanic sites do fall into reasonably distinct zones. There are a handful of small Germanic cemeteries in what I have judged to be Brittonic zones, and one Roman town, Lincoln (Lindum colonia), with evidence for continued occupation in what appears to be an Anglian zone."
To read more, visit his web page, linked above. The one thing to note about these maps is, unlike Morris and Dark, they don't take into account the gaps in settlements and cemeteries, so may give a false picture of 'Anglo-Saxon' rule or the true spread of their cultures. But, as Howard says in a personal correspondence, "I was aiming for the smoothest boundaries that would leave (more or less) all the Germanic evidence on one side and all the Romano-British evidence on the other". They also don't show areas that wouldn't be up for settlement by either side, such as dense forrest, heath land or heavy clay areas. Possibly even areas that wouldn't be settled on because of some superstition or another. (I'll deal with this later). Another thing to note is where Howard has 'Hill Forts Common' he means hillforts occupied at this time and not all Iron Age hillforts pe se. Most hillforts in what is now the borderlands (the Marches) of England and Wales were re-occupied in the Late 4th to Early 5th centuries, but it's hard to find evidence for this occupation going beyond this.
Back to these late 6th century battles. Howard, quoting from the ASC, says:
"ASC for 571 (perhaps invented later to justify West Saxon territorial claims) Cuthwulf fought with the Britons at Bedcanford (Bedford), and took four towns, Lenbury, Aylesbury, Benson and Ensham. And this same year he died." – (Howard's brackets, not mine).
We know where Bedford (Biedcanforda) is … or we assume we know. Lenbury (Liggeanburh) is thought to be Limbury in the suburbs of Luton, although there is a Lenborough southwest of Bedford and northwest of Aylesbury. Aylesbury (Æglesburh) is southwest of Bedford (I used to work there). Benson (Bensingtun) is actually called Bensington and is just south of Dorchester-on-Thames in Oxfordshire and Ensham (Egonesham) is generally thought to be Eynsham, just northwest of Oxford. The first question is, if Cuthwulf, who supposedly led these battles, was West Saxon, what was he doing starting his battles in the east and moving west? The answer could be the ASC got the order wrong and Bedford was the last battle. However, it could be that he was from the east and pushed west, taking over West Saxon territory. We'll never know, but it does make sense of the progression.
So, as opposed to a British enclave based on the Chilterns (later to become Saxon Cilternsætna) and one in the Bedford area, they postulate a 'bulge' or 'corridor' that was either never under 'Saxon' occupation in the first place or was was won back and extended from the Thames Valley, up the Chiltern Hills to and beyond Bedford before or after Badon. This would, of course, cut off some main lines of communication, including part of Watling Street, Icknield Way, the Fosse Way and some river basins from the 'enemy'. This 'bulge' would almost reach St. Albans. Actually, these maps encompass St. Albans, which can't be right if the shrines referred to (or one of them) was there … and one would think St. Albans' shrine was. Once again I'm indebted to Howard for pointing me to the following …
"It has been commonly stated that Gildas here, when he talks of martyrs and the unhappy partition, implies that Verulamium and Carleon held shrines which were deprived to the Britons because of English occupation. A more careful reading of this passage shows that he implies no such thing. When he says "I refer to St Alban …, Aaron and Julius … and the others …", he is clearly referring to martyrs (the history of which he was discussing before being briefly side-tracked into the state of Britain at his time). If he had been referring to their "graves or places where they suffered", he would have said "I refer to Verulamium …, Carleon, … and other places". Thus the passage simply implies that there was a partition with the English, and that they evidently held large parts of the country, but it contains no specific geographical information on which parts."
See http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/wiseman/DECB/DECBps.html#Martyrs
Howard added: "Regarding Verulamium and St Albans shrine, I haven't had any luck convincing Chris Gidlow of this [...]"
Could they be right? The archæology (as far as I'm aware) doesn't show 'Saxon' occupation (or culture) to the west of St Albans. If anyone has information to the contrary I'd be very interested to hear about it.
A look at the OS map of Roman Britain shows there are two Roman roads going east/west they could have pushed back on after Badon, if they did: that which goes from Bath (or Cirencester) via Silchester to London and the other northerly route that goes from Cirencester via Bicester to St. Albans. (Another goes north-south from Bicester via Dorchester-on-Thames to Silchester). Between these east/west routes lies the Thames Valley and the Chiltern Hills including the ancient trackway of the Icknield Way.
To have taken the region around Bedford as well may have meant heading north on the Bicester-Towcester road. This push could have joined isolated British enclaves. It makes absolute sense that the Britons would capitalize on a victory if they could, but I'm just not knowledgeable enough to comment on the details and the archæology that Morris, Dark or Howard put forward as possible evidence. It does make sense to these later battles defeating the Britons and the taking of the Chilterns, which was obviously in British hands, where no enclaves but a whole British swathe of territory. But, it also make equal sense that they were enclaves that the 'Saxons' strangled. If they were never 'Saxon' at this point then it puts a different complexion on the whole debate with the Britons always having the upper hand, as argued by Dark.
Another Theory
However, I will give another possible theory of the fight back that could explain this 'corridor' and the 'peace'. Once Ambrosius started the resistance, a British rebellion began to happen, just like those in the Middle East at the moment. Anti 'Anglo-Saxon' (politcal, religious and cultural elements) could have been inspired to break out from their enclaves, or even within 'Saxon' regions. This could have happened in regions we're not even aware of. If Ambrosius could have achieved some sought of unity, or, at the least, coordination, then these, along with pushes from the west and north, would have stretched and shaken the enemies.
Pushes from the west wouldn't, of course, have been on a 'front' but through lines of communication: roads, tracks, river basins. This may not have pushed all elements 'back' but turned them into isolated enclaves whilst rejoining British (cultural) areas, making it harder for the enemy to created confederacies and limiting their travel. This, in turn, may have created refuges heading east. The Britons could also have placed their own rulers over some of the enemy territory taken, which may add to the idea of an extended peace. So the politcal map may not have looked like Howard's above, but like the one on below. I've kept St Albans and London as an enclave but, as discussed above, it may not have been:
This is just a very rough guess. There may have been more British enclaves in the east and southeast. (In fact, Professor Ken Dark gives even more British areas than I do in the Midlands, based on the amount of inhumation and mixed inhumation/cremation areas: that's the squares and star symbols). I've added known woodland (although there may have been more) in green and marsh/fen land in blue. I also overlaid a map of the clay soil areas of Britain (not shown here) and, with heavy clays in the Midlands, you could see why there may not have been much settlement there by either side. (Source: http://www.soilyourself.org/2011/02/soils-of-england-soils-of-great-britain.html )
I'd like to do a lengthy quote from the paper, Anglo-Saxon and Medieval (Rural) by Keith Wade ( http://www.eaareports.org.uk/Assessment%20post-Roman%20rural.pdf ). Date unknown.
"The large apparently unpopulated areas [of the east], especially in west Essex and Hertfordshire, have traditionally been explained as forest, but this may be too simplistic. There is an ongoing debate on the extent of post Roman woodland regeneration, but environmental evidence suggests that, at least in some areas, there was no large-scale woodland regeneration. The ongoing 'extent of woodland' debate is linked to the 'surviving Romano-British population' debate. The lack of Early Anglo-Saxon sites in west Essex, the Hunts part of Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire, has been explained as indicating a surviving Romano-British political entity with a small (initially) Germanic settlement 'living in controlled circumstances on "Roman" settlements' (Drury and Rodwell 1980), with surviving Romano-British populations that are invisible archaeologically. Others have explained the gaps as more to do with the difficulties of finding Early Anglo-Saxon sites [...] [Williams'] conclusions, however, were still that 'there are signs that some land also went out of cultivation even on the lighter soils' and 'there was clearly a considerable contraction of land under cultivation in the post Roman period, with woodland growing up over abandoned farmland on the interfluve soils' but that even 'on the interfluves' there is 'some evidence of Saxon occupation, although whether such settlements were involved in the arable exploitation of these difficult soils is perhaps more doubtful' (Williamson 1986, 127)."
I'd love to hear from anyone knowledgeable on the interpretation of both this evidence and the archæology for all these areas.
(Since writing this I have read more on the work of Chris Wickham, Guy Halsall, Ken Dark and re-read Francis Pryor, I realise even more the complexity and varying interpretations of the data. However, what is clear, is how politically fragmented and lacking in elites most of the east appears and how even 'Anglo-Saxon' sites, such as Mucking in Essex, are being reassessed).
I'm also not sure if this 'bulge' theory would harmonise with what Gildas tell us. One would also have to wonder what would convince the Cornovii (or Dobunni) to attack beyond their borders … if they did. The answer might be simpler for the Dobunni as they may have been trying to take some of their lost land back. The Cornovii, however may have wanted revenge for attacks on Chester and Bassa (if these Arthurian battles are, indeed, where some think them to be and if they ever happened). More land would also be a good reason. I think that these reasons would be above an altruistic one of 'saving Britannia', although saving themselves and their portion of their province might have had something to do with it. (Interestingly, Dark wonders if these two civitates are ones that were under Roman type administration rather than monarchy at this time).
There would bound to be different factions wanting different things, including some who might think, "The 'Saxons' are their problem. Let them sought it out!" Those 'Saxon' regions in the Midlands that found themselves isolated (in this hypothesis) may have swapped sides to survive. (Plenty of evidence of that in history). The Britons could have shown, through their power and their action and, maybe, even through bluff by announcing how united they were though they may not have been in reality, that they were a force to be reckoned with.
None of this takes into account Nick Higham's theory that the 'Anglo-Saxons' were the ones who had the upper hand after Badon and his assessment that this battle happened (and Gildas wrote) much earlier.
(See comments below)
We also have no idea what sea power either side(s) had. If the Brits could, somehow, have taken control of at least some stretches of the southern and eastern coast, they may have been able to disrupt not only supplies, but immigration and export, for a while at least. There's probably not such a strong argument for this, but it's worth considering.
In the next blog we'll look at just who the 'enemies' might have been, starting with the 'West Saxons'/'Geuissae' and the 'West Angles'.
I look forward to any comments.
Thanks for reading,

Late Art Deco Diamond Ring
Geometric shapes set with diamonds galore create a ring to mark a special occasion or even to celebrate every day of the week. The characteristic horizontal profile of the late 1930s employs a 14k yellow and white gold mount to brandish a transitional cut diamond of an estimated .30 carats (H-I color; VS2-SI1 clarity). The center diamond is flanked on each side by a brace of single cut diamonds in a modified "C" shaped cartouche and another in a navette shaped setting. In all, six (6) single cuts add their glitter for an estimated total diamond weight of .33 carats.
Date: Circa 1935.
Measurements: 3/16 of an inch (0.5 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.4 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 1.6 grams (1.0 dwt).
Ring Size: US 5 (UK J-1/2; Int. Dia. 15.75; Euro 50 mm; Japan 9) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: "14k"; unidentified maker's mark.
Condition: Very good; very slight evidence of old re-shanking and previous resizing visible with magnification.
Origin: American.
Note: Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading has been done in situ and also may vary if stones are removed.

- Certain specified meeting rooms of the East Central Georgia Regional Library are available for library-sponsored programs, and for legitimate public meetings, to include those of an educational, cultural, religious, political or civic nature. The Library does not discriminate against persons or groups on the basis of race, sex, color, creed, age, religion or national origin.
- All functions held in the Library's meeting rooms must be freely open to the general public. No rental fees may be charged, but registration fees or materials charges (such as may be required for craft workshops) are permitted with the advance approval of the Director of the East Central Georgia Regional Library System.
- Meetings must be on a non-profit basis. No solicitations are to be made, and no activities are to be made for commercial purposes. Private parties such as showers, birthday parties, sorority and fraternity parties are not permitted.
- Any group's use of the meeting rooms does not constitute the Library's endorsement of that group's policies or beliefs.
- The Director of the East Central Georgia Regional Library reserves the right to review any and all requests for use of library meeting rooms and may reject any which the Director deems unsuitable.
- Meetings, events, programs or activities that might disturb regular Library operations are not permitted. If a meeting or event in progress does disturb regular library operations, the Library reserves the right to immediately terminate the meeting or event. The group, upon notification of a disturbance, will immediately discontinue the disturbance or vacate the premises.
- The Library in no way serves as the sponsor of public groups which use its facilities, with the exception of the Friends of the Library. The Library's address may not be given out as the address for the group, nor should the Library's telephone number be provided as a source to contact about the group or its meetings, other than to verify a meeting place or time.
- Library staff will not page persons who are attending a function in its public meeting rooms, nor may the public use the Library's business telephones. Pay telephones are available in or near most library buildings.
- Meetings should be scheduled to end 15 minutes before the Library's closing time. Some libraries allow groups to use their rooms when the library itself is closed. Groups should call the branch manager of the facility where the meeting is to be booked to determine if that library allows after-hours room use.
- Due to limited parking space at many facilities, groups using the meeting room should park away from the building if possible to provide space for regular library patrons.
- The Library Board and staff do not assume any liability for groups or individuals attending a meeting at the Library.
- The Library reserves the right to deny future access to Library facilities if a group fails to comply with all policies.
- Meeting rooms must be booked in advance and can be reserved up to 60 days in advance. Requests are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. No group may use a room more than two times per month. Groups desiring to use the room on a regular basis must request the room for each individual meeting or event, but the Library cannot guarantee that a room will be available on a long-term basis.
- A maintenance fee, to recover cleaning and other associated costs, is charged for the use of some of the libraries' rooms. These fees are set by the Library Board of each respective county.
- Reservations for meeting rooms may be made to the branch manager of the library where the room is located. Reservations for the auditorium at the Headquarters Library should be made during regular business hours (M-F, 9:00 am-5:00 pm) through the Community Services Librarian.
- Room bookings may be made by telephone, but the group's leader or an individual representing the group must come to the library at least one day before the scheduled meeting to sign an agreement indicating that he/she has read and understood this policy. Contact information about the organization is also requested at this time. This signed form must be on file at every location in which a room has been booked for a particular group. A new form should be signed whenever the group leadership changes.
- Library-sponsored activities receive priority over all other groups. In any conflict over scheduling, the Library's needs will prevail.
- At several library locations, the meeting room is only available during the library's regular hours of operation. Groups wishing to use rooms in these libraries are not allowed access to it either before the library opens or after it closes. No non-Library sponsored meetings will be scheduled at the Headquarters Library on Sundays.
- The individual booking the room must be at least 18 years of age. A person who is at least 18 years of age must be present while any room is in use. Adults must supervise children at all times.
- The leader of the organization or a designated member should fill in the Meeting Room Attendance slip, and leave it on a table in the reserved room.
- If a meeting is cancelled, the branch manager or Community Services Librarian should be notified as soon as possible, so the facility may be made available to other groups.
- The number of persons using a meeting room may not exceed the seating capacity approved for that facility. A list of available rooms and their seating capacities is attached.
- Library staff is not available to assist in any way during set up or use of meeting rooms.
- The Library is not responsible for providing any special equipment for a group's use. Groups are welcome to bring their own audio-visual equipment. If a group wishes to use Library-owned audio-visual equipment, it must make arrangements at least one week in advance, and must pay for a Library staff member to operate the equipment at the rate of $10.00 per hour or fraction thereof. The Library cannot guarantee that an operator will be available. If one is not, the group must provide their own equipment.
- No smoking or alcoholic beverages are allowed at any library in the East Central Georgia Regional Library system.

6930 Alvarado Rd, San Diego, CA | Directions 9212032.775037 -117.048954
Neighborhoods: College Area, Mid-City, College East
Awesome – Love, love, love this place for breakfast. Why?
This is the ultimate Jewish deli type restaurant - they have a deli counter and freshly baked cookies, including traditional Jewish type dishes. They have a small store full of nick knacks and paddy whacks. And of course, they have a huge dinning room. Walk in and have them seat you (if you get there on Saturday or Sunday, there may be a 30 minute wait - it's worth it).
Once you are seated, you get a huge menu to choose from. Think of just about any type of breakfast food and it will be on the menu. If you like Matzo Ball soup, there is no better place to have it than here. Want a pastrami sandwich on rye, oh yea, they have it. Want to impress or disgust your friends, order the tongue sandwich - it is AMAZING.
I always order the soup and sandwich combo. I get matzo ball soup and tongue sandwich (I swear, watching Bizarre Foods starting me on my crazy food eating spree - and believe me, tongue tastes like a cross between pot roast and pastrami....Yum)
If you are less adventurous, there are hundreds of tasty items on the menu to choose from. And don't forget to have one of the free huge pickles on your table while waiting for your order to arrive.
Food: 4.5
Staff: 4.5
Atmosphere: 4
Menu variety of items: 5
Sandwiches are piled high with pastrami, cheese and slices of other cold case favorites at this deli open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. – In Short
La Mesa's New York-style deli serves oversized sandwiches, hearty dinner platter and specialties like cheese blintzes and potato pancakes that can be hard to find in San Diego. Open since 1980, the restaurant has expanded five times since its humble beginning. It includes a take-out deli, bakery and gift shop in addition to the main dining room. Like at any respectable home-style spot, the breakfast menu is available all day.
Best in San Diego - almost NY quality – NY style deli:
The menu also boasts 134 sandwiches (including awesome Triple-Deckers) piled sky-high with fine Deli Meats as well as complete Dinner Entrees such as: Corned Beef and Cabbage, Roast Brisket of Beef, Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. An entire menu page is dedicated to the fountain menu which includes Sundaes, Shakes, Malts and Sodas with every delicious accompaniment imaginable.
My FAVORITE DELI! – I love this restaurant. My daughter gets the Matzo Ball soup every time. My favorite is the pastrami on rye. The bakery is AMAZING. I've sampled almost every dessert there. For cakes, the best is the one with the sliced kiwi's on top. It's a Jewish Delicatessin and the last time I was there I got a box of Hannaka Cookies in the shape of the star of David, Menorah and Drieydl. Where else can you find stuff like that in San Diego. If you're into fancy, shmancy places - this is not for you. The decor is 'diner - 50's style'. If getting a dessert, I recommend the "Bloomingdales" - and split it with at least 5 friends.

Chapter One: Fresh Produce. Go Organic.
This is the third in a series of posts about how to green your life, week by week.
This week, thanks to Mindy Pennybacker's Do One Green Thing: Saving the Earth through Simple, Everyday Choices, I decided to make an attempt to go organic, produce that is. Living in Juneau, Alaska, a town of 30,000 people with no roads leading in or out, the only way to deliver produce is by plane or boat. Therefore, calling the produce here fresh is a stretch. Nevertheless, Juneau does get some produce, and some of it's organic.
I went to the local store and browsed the organic produce section. As most of you very well know, unless you are at a whole foods store the selection of organic produce is limited and often expensive. So why go organic? Shouldn't eating greens be good for you no matter what? Yes, of course, but organic is much better for you and the planet. Organic produce reduces the amount of pesticides that we ingest and carry in our bodies. I always thought this wasn't life changing, so who cares? After reading DOGT, I realized how many pesticides are used and the health threats they pose to humans and wildlife.

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Low Vitamin D Levels Linked to Diabetes RiskPosted: Sunday, May 08, 2011
Lower levels of vitamin D circulating in the bloodstream are tied to a higher risk of developing diabetes.
After following more than 5,000 people for 5 years, the researchers found those with lower than average vitamin D levels had a 57 percent increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to people with levels in the recommended range.
Lead author Dr. Claudia Gagnon, a fellow at the Western Hospital at the University of Melbourne in Australia stated that, "Studies like ours have suggested that blood levels of vitamin D higher than what is recommended for bone health may be necessary to reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes."
The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get about 600 IU of vitamin D a day to maintain circulating levels in the desirable range.
Past studies have shown that vitamin D may also help keep blood sugar levels under control (Diabetes Care, Feb. 2011).
In Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, the body can't use insulin it produces efficiently to control blood sugar levels. Vitamin D may play a role by increasing the release of insulin, Gagnon said.
To see whether circulating D levels and calcium consumption influenced insulin sensitivity and diabetes risk, Gagnon's team measured the vitamin D blood levels of 5,200 people without diabetes. After 5 years, about 200 of them had developed diabetes, and the researchers measured everyone's vitamin D levels again.
The researchers found that twice as many people (6 in 100) with low blood levels of vitamin D later developed diabetes, compared to those with blood levels in the normal range (3 in 100).
When the researchers took into consideration risk factors for diabetes such as age, waist circumference, and a family history of the disease, the increased risk from low D levels translated to 57 percent, relative to those with higher levels.
Calcium is also thought to participate in insulin release, but the researchers found no link between the mineral and risk of developing diabetes later. Gagnon noted that, "Lower levels of vitamin D in the blood were associated with an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, however, our findings do not prove cause and effect."
Further studies are needed, Gagnon's group writes in the journal Diabetes Care, both to directly test whether vitamin D supplements make a difference in diabetes risk, and if so, to determine the optimal circulating D levels to minimize that risk.
Vitamin D has also been linked to lower risks of asthma, heart disease, and certain cancers. However, there hasn't been much evidence showing that taking supplements helps these conditions.
The sun is the major vitamin D source for most people, but salmon and fortified dairy products also contain a lot.

Laetitia Lemaistre
Advisor: Peter Lucas
TC Degree, Program, Year of Graduation: M.A., International Educational Development, 2005
Dissertation/Integrative Project Title: Local Governance in Cambodia: Commitment to Women's and Children's Issues?
Description of your current position: As a consultant with the World Bank I'm involved in community-driven development projects in eastern Indonesia. My focus is a Community Conditional Cash Transfer that provides funds to communities on the condition that they work towards improving indicators in maternal and infant health and primary and junior secondary education. I'm based in Jakarta where I assist in the preparation of implementing the Cash Transfer in five provinces throughout Indonesia. Monitoring activities also involves regular fieldwork.
Something special about your TC experience: Outstanding and supportive professors who made time to meet and discuss outside the classroom. My coursework was often flexible enough that I could pursue my own academic interests within the structures of any course I was taking. After TC I reflected upon the issues in international education development that surfaced in our core courses which I later confronted in my own professional work experiences.

When "Be The Boss" came calling, Jazzercise Instructor Sophia Hubbard thought she was going to be competing for a promotion work the company she loved. Little did she know the prize would be something far sweeter. Sophia's jaw literally dropped when Judi Sheppard Missett, the founder and CEO of Jazzercise, handed her the keys to her own franchise.

In the past several years, Jazzercise seems to have made a comeback, capitalizing on its name recognition while re-branding for a modern audience. There were the updated workout DVDs, the new partnership with "Dancing with the Stars'" Cheryl Burke, the cheeky homage from Gwyneth Paltrow on "Glee," and even the release of a Jazzercise mobile app for the millennials. On December 30, A&E's competition show "Be the Boss" will devote an entire episode to two Jazzercise instructors competing for a studio.

Jazzercise, Inc. is thrilled to announce the company's participation in the new
original real life series "Be the Boss," which will debut on A&E Network next month. From the
Emmy-Award winning creators of "Undercover Boss," this competition-based series will feature
two Jazzercise franchisees vying for the opportunity to become a Jazzercise Fitness Center
owner ─ or, in essence, become their own boss.
In recent fitness news, Jazzercise Founder & CEO Judi Sheppard Missett talks to FOX 35 Good Day Orlando hosts John Brown and Amy Kaufeldt about the secret to the fitness company's success. While many fitness companies have come and gone, Jazzercise continues to grow after more than 40 years in the fitness industry.

Reasons for choosing a home funeral service
People may opt for home funerals during pre-planning because the are comforted by the idea of knowing that their life will be celebrated in the intimate, personal environment of their family's home. If you are interested in a home funeral, be sure to talk to your family to make sure that this is the kind of service they would like to participate in.
Features of a home funeral
The features of a home funeral depend on whether or not you want the home funeral to happen in conjunction with a home burial or not. If so, the common features of a home funeral are:
- Preparing the body, including washing and clothing the body
- Wrapping the body in a shroud or placing the body in a casket
- Hosting the funeral service at the home
- Transporting the body to the burial site, including acquiring the necessary transport permits
- Preparing the burial site, including digging and perhaps lining the grave
- Burying the body in the ground, including placing the body in the grave and filling the grave
- Installing a headstone or grave marker, if desired
If you decide you'd like to have a home funeral service, you may still want to have a traditional cemetery burial or a traditional cremation. In that case, your family's level of involvement is really up to them. The body may be prepared by your family members or by the funeral home staff. Your family may transport the body to the cemetery, or the funeral home may handle transportation. In any case, the family will plan a funeral service that will take place in the home.
Where to have a home funeral service
A home funeral may be held at your own home, a family member's home, or a friend's home. The place that the funeral is held should feel intimate and comfortable, and should be able to accommodate the number of people who will attend the service.
To learn about other types of services you can have, see our article Pre-Planning a Funeral Service, Graveside Service, or Memorial Service.

Superintendent Matt Akin told the Piedmont City School board during a Tuesday meeting that the school system is in the early stages of planning the "health science" program. Akin will meet with employees from Regional Medical Center, Gadsden State Community College and Jacksonville State University today to seek advice about how the program should be structured.
"Before we get too far into developing what it will look like, we want to talk to people in the field," Akin said.
A health science program at Piedmont schools would give middle and high school students the chance to take courses to prepare for jobs such as nursing or emergency medical care, Akin said.
He added that the school might offer a survey course on medical professions, a class on medical terminology or the foundations of nursing through the planned program.
High school programs that introduce students to the medical field are common, but Akin said Piedmont's project would be unique because it would serve students sooner.
"It's not typical to start the program in the middle school, but we're trying to start a little bit earlier," Akin said.
The program will fold into a grant-funded project that the middle school is already using to change the way students learn. That project has students use Internet programs that monitor their academic progress, and teachers use that data to determine the day's coursework for each student.
"The clock and the calendar shouldn't determine how long you're in a certain subject," Akin said. "It ought be mastery."
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded the project's $100,000 grant at the start of the school year.
Akin said the system decided to develop a health science program because health care is second on the list of industries that need more qualified personnel in northeast Alabama. Topping the list, he said, is manufacturing.

LAWRENCE – Lawrence Catholic Academy students, teachers and staff held a holiday service drive to help the people devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
The school held a dress-down day, and for a small donation, everyone could escape the traditional uniform and business attire and wear what they wanted to school. The event raised $1,000 and 100 percent of the money will go to the Hurricane Sandy Long Island Disaster Relief Fund.
Also each class was assigned to bring in certain items such as clothes, paper towels, baby items, soap, First Aid kits, toothbrushes and dog and cat food, all of which will go to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

I'm probably the only blogger here who doesn't care all that much about college basketball (as my bracket attests), and to me, this month is largely about drinking margaritas and discussing feminism once a week to celebrate Women's History Month. But when March madness comes along, I usually throw my allegiances toward Western, my alma mater (go Topps!) and UofL, my adopted home team. My general disinterest in the sport has not stopped several people from sending me this Howard Fineman piece on the intrastate rivalry, however, so I thought I'd share. Frankly, I will be relieved when this is all over, so we can focus on the things that are really important, like political politics and baseball.

In youth baseball, there are certain laws of the game. The kid who can't hit a lick will always be first in line for snacks. The hitter with the most expensive bat will almost always finish last in home runs.
At almost any level, you can't buy a title — with equipment, with players. To even try futzes with the gods of baseball.
In our Pony League, there are no million-dollar contracts — not yet, anyway. We pay our 9- and 10-year-olds in pizza that tastes like it was trod upon by Russian tanks, reward them with home-baked brownies that their sisters put their grubby fingers in, ply them with too warm watermelon. Somehow that's enough.
At night, my own kid falls asleep in his batting stance, his hands folded up near his chin, elbows in a V, knees bent like a paratrooper. The hits he had earlier in the day still dance somewhere on his 10-year-old retinas.
Yep, there are certain laws of baseball, laws of life. You strike out more often than you go yard, the players with the dirtiest uniforms usually win.
It's not physics or karma exactly. It's just life.
In my experience, millionaires are hard of hearing, inclined to ignore even the most-obvious wisdoms. That's why pro teams need a head coach who carries himself well. With coaches, it's not so much the words as the body language, the gravitas. And no, gravitas is not a kind of grits. But you can buy it by the pound.
John Wooden invented gravitas. Joe Torre had it by the bucket. Guy named Jackson still does.
In fact, gravitas is how I came to coach the Angels of the Mustang Pony League, the gutsiest little group of 9- and 10-year-olds you probably never met.
Know how you use gravitas to reach a 9-year-old baserunner? You kneel down, wave your arms as if falling off the Queen Mary, and scream: "YOU'RE STEALING ON THE NEXT PITCH, OK? DO YOU HEAR ME, SKIPPY? YOU'RE GOING, GOING, GONE."
Early on, Coach Matt and I decided that would be our secret sign for stealing: "YOU'RE GOING ON THE NEXT PITCH!!!"
Sometimes works, sometimes not.
Yes, I am on the hot seat. Just like every other L.A. coach.
We are winding up another youth baseball season, the car trunk a mess of bats and gear. I looked in my coach's backpack the other day, and the bottom of it was covered with Jolly Ranchers and bubble gum.
If I have a coaching secret — and I don't have many — it's to reward hitters for reaching third. Because once you reach third, you are 20 steps from true glory.
But home is where the heartache is. It's a tricky 20 steps, filled with codicils the kids don't fully understand — infield fly rules, tagging up and going on foul balls. Baseball is like renovating the master bath, full of situations you never imagined, and you only really understand it after you've bungled things a few times.
I am torn now by one little nuance of the game — what would you do?
Back before the Crusades, I was an 8-year-old catcher, more grit than talent, really no talent at all.
But I discovered that if I slyly kicked dirt over home plate as soon as the ball was hit, that it often befuddled the runner coming in from third. For it's hard enough to score when the world is exploding around you — catcher's mask flying, balls ricocheting off the backstop, dogs barking, mothers passing out, civil defense sirens blaring — that to arrive at home plate and discover that the opposing catcher has buried it under an inch of brick dust ... well it messes with your soul.
So now as a coach, I am left with the moral dilemma: Do I pass along this fiendish little trick to 9-year-olds, or do I let them discover it for themselves?
Is burying home plate part of baseball, like an outfielder pretending he caught a trapped ball?
Or is it worse than that?
So far, I have not passed this trick along, and I think I never will. Baseball is losing enough kids to lacrosse and as it is, a great and troubling migration.
Last thing it needs is for a kid — who like mine falls asleep in his batting stance — to punch his first potential homer into the gap, only to arrive at home plate to find there is no home plate.
Baseball — and life — are already hard enough.

Wed, Jun 11 5:30pm + 2hr after event
Attendants may be present at the entry and exit gates - if so, please present your ParkWhiz pass to attendant to receive a validation ticket. To use at exit, insert entry ticket followed by validation ticket.
If an attendant is not present, just press the help button (24/7) at the exit gate. Tell the CSR your name and your unique ParkWhiz pass number, and they will remotely lift the gate for you.

It was very easy to get in and out, and everything worked as advertised. One thing you might mention is that when you get there, if there is a "Full" sign in front, you need to simply drive around it (as you have a reserved space already).
Just a great walk to the park.
It was a little farther than I would have liked, but weather was not bad. I think that you should mention that the ramp is also named Loring ramp. I was a little concerned that I was in the wrong place & had to call for reassurance. The ramp was clean & well lit.
Spot was easy to find, was easy in and out, and was just a nice 20 minute walk to Target Field. We did, however, misunderstand the instructions and were expecting a human at the gate to verify our arrangements. We ended up having to use the help button on the gate. The man that answered the phone was very understanding and helpful and was able to verify that we had prepaid the night before, and remotely opened the gate for us. We're still not sure how we were supposed to have validated/verified our ticket in advance, but we will keep using the system until we figure it out. Overall, the system is well worth using. Thank you.
Parking was great, but leaving it was very confusing. I needed to pay again to get out. I called the number listed and the lady was very helpful to me. On the print out page you need to say push the help button as the lady told me. Yes I will use ParkWhiz again now that I know what to do.
This is a large, above ground parking ramp with access to I-94W/394W and I-35W. It is skyway connected and adjacent to the Hyatt. It is also close to the Minneapolis Convention Center, Ichiban Japanese Steak House and the Millenium Hotel.
Vehicle height restriction: 78 inches
This location is a commercial parking garage.
Nearby destinations: Minneapolis Convention Center.
This multi-colored garage is located on Nicollet Mall between 13th St. and Grant St. The ramp enterance is located on Nicollet Mall across from Ichibans. Look for the orange and blue "Park" sign above the entrance or the digital parking sign located on the corner of Nicollet and Grant.

ASPCA Neuter Clinic
Reason for visit: Toy poodle (5yrs) & hound mix (4yrs) neutering. Both males.
Reason for neutering: sexual urges w/ frustration & updating on vaccines
Cost: much cheaper than VCA clinics and offer discounts for those who have little money
Results: Dogs do not have sexual urges. It takes a few months for the hormones to get out of system. Result is happier owner and happier dogs.
Customer Care: They even removed a baby tooth that was in the toy poodle's mouth for no extra charge.
Dog's experience: Sleepy first day after surgery from anesthesia. Next day they behaved normal. They did not show any pain. They did not need cones; they did not seem to notice they were neutered.
Friendly Staff, Well Socialized Dogs – We recently adopted a dog from the SPCA. Our experience was very positive. We felt no pressure to make a decision and they let us take the dogs for walks to get to know them better. They sat with us on our multiple visits and answered all of our questions. They have a 10 day waiting period so if you get the dog home and it doesn't fit in with your family you can still return it to a safe place. The dogs we met at the shelter will well socialized because they live in large pens together with other dogs. The dogs also have large indoor and outdoor spaces to run and play. It is not as the same as a home, but it is a much better environment than the pound. I would encourage any person or family who is looking for a pet to check out what the SPCA has to offer.
CAN WE BE DONE WITH THIS – What is your problem, you just have to lie about everything until you can't tell up from down. The adoption center does great, they do not adopt animals with out being filling cared for, yes that includes vaccines. You are so sad and pathetic to still be tossing around this lie, lets grown up shall we. Craigslist, zootoo, and what ever you can get to you lie on. Leave the mccombs alone it is not their fault you are a failure that can't admit it. This is a good organization, with good people running it. If you are too sucked into you world of denial to see that than shame on you Tony and Kathy!! Oh yes I know who you are, it's no mystery you were FIRED and that is the reason for this dumb stuff. You sat behind a desk did nothing fought rick every step of the way and for what? So you could slander his families good name. Dogs spent years there under your time there, thats not right what kind of life is that for a dog, they need that family life not a pin they stayed locked in. If you think the animals where happy that way you must have a twisted and almost sick view. Rick and his dad have done wonders with the place you could never come close to. It always stunk and looked like a mess. He even offered to let you live there and work else were when things didn't work but you couldn't shut your mouth, You had to spout nasty things to the new employees. You people really have no room to talk at all.
Bottom line get a life and stop hindering the lives of the animals you so care about. Gees I do believe that they should make people take an IQ test before owning computers!!!!!!!!!!!
The Truth About The Alaska SPCA – As a one time, long term employee, there is no job security no matter how long you work with them and no matter how genuine
you are with animals or to the cause. It once was a great place to work but it has turned into a family run business with their own set of animal care rules (which
strongly favor pitbuls) often not conforming to the local animal control regulations at the adoption center (in which their yearly license is obtained.)
I have seen many good people come and go when the mood strikes them. The Alaska SPCA, under the new director, his wife, and son, has 2 faces, one is,
your great as long as the people benefit from you...the other is once your resources run dry they discard you. They have a history of
discarding good people with as little as a phone call and then trying to deny them unemployment or workers comp because their insurance rates would appreciate.
They claim to be a non-profit, but their assets are not public as they should be and all staff are paid...some are paid very well. The adoption ceter has adopted
animals out that have not been updated on vaccinations or microchipped as adopters have been led to believe. They do not place donations or berievments
in the department they are intended.

Luther's Birth House, Eisleben
Luthers Geburthaus (Luther's Birth House) in Eisleben, is the house in which Martin Luther was born. It has long been preserved as a museum to the reformer.
On November 10, 1483, Martin Luther was born in Eisleben to Hans and Magarete Luder (the reformer altered the spelling of his surname) in this modest, half-timbered house on Lange Strasse (now Lutherstrasse).
The future "Father of the Reformation" was was baptized the following day at the nearby Church of St. Peter and Paul and named after St. Martin of Tours, whose feast day is November 11. The Luther family moved from Eisleben to Mansfeld in 1484.
Luther's birth house opened to the public in 1693 as the first memorial museum in Germany. (Before that, it had been used as a school.) In preparation for the opening, the main floor was made into a decorated festive hall celebrating the history of the Reformation.
The front of the building, which had been severely damaged in a fire in 1689, acquired its baroque appearance during the renovation that preceding the opening.
In 1817, King Friedrich William III declared that the museum should be funded by the state. Martin Luther's birthplace was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, along with other Luther sites in Eisleben and Wittenberg.
What to See
Dating from the museum's opening in 1693 is the Schöner Saal in the main room of the first floor, which is decorated with a large ceiling painting of an angel, full-length portraits of Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon and the Electors of Saxony. There is also a statue of a swan, one of the symbols of the Reformation. The outside Baroque portal with Martin Luther's portrait also dates from this period.
The ground floor contains a medieval kitchen, which was probably used by the landlord rather than the Luders. On display in the Geburtshaus are books and artworks from the time of Luther's childhood, such as a Bible with coloured woodcuts which was printed in Nürnberg the year he was born.
Across the courtyard from Luther's house (and included in the price of admission) is the Lutherarmenschule, an early 19th-century school for the poor that now contains displays of various local artifacts.
