The Drum
Motul faithful partner of Wheels & Waves 2018
Now a tradition for several years, Wheels and Waves, the inevitable event of retro motorcycles, will be held from 14 to 17 June 2018 at the "Cité de l'Océan" in Biarritz.
This unique event brings together lovers of vintage motorcycles and surfing, all in a festival atmosphere from back in the days. For 4 days, it will shake the peaceful and beautiful seaside resort in the Basque coast for a good cause since 20,000 people came in 2017 to admire beautiful mechanics, original clothing, and art in the main village.
Motul has been surfing this wave for 4 years now, sharing the same values of passion and authenticity. In 2018, the brand will of course be present all week long throughout every animation: from El Rollo, the flat track race, to the Art Ride, the ephemeral exhibition. But most of all, Motul will be present in the heart of the village with a booth to welcome visitors and share the passion of old bikes that the brand knows well with its 165 year history. Three motorcycles with special preparations handmade by Luca Pozzato, creator of the Onirika 2853, will delight the eyes of bike lovers and an expert area will be available to the riders to debrief after a day of riding on these beautiful roads. The Motul MCCare range will be honored on the booth to ensure the maintenance of these crazy machines. As a sign of our Partnership with Ural Motorcycle, a fully personalized sidecar will be displayed at the Village.
A real gathering of 'urban cowboys', the Wheels & Waves festival allows, over a few days, to reproduce what characterized Biarritz in the 60's as a place of worship, a coast where surfing was born in Europe, pushed by particularly favorable wave conditions and an art of living tinged with carelessness.

Hadith Explanation
Surah ad-Dhukhan
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "Whosoever recites Surah ad-Dhukhan every night, seventy thousand angels will ask forgiveness for him." [Tirmidhi]
When one is aware of the content of this surah it cannot help but act as a nightly cleanser of one's faith. We are very concerned about removing the minutest amount of dirt and filth from our faces and bodies, with expensive facials and body scrubs, but what about the dirt that accumulates on our souls and on our eeman? This filth needs to be regularly removed too.
Although the whole Quran is for recitation, not just portions of it, yet the surahs that Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) associates particular reward with and which were recited at particular times by the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam), must definitely contain certain key reminders for us that are cleansers of our faith.
Reaffirming and cleansing our faith before we go to sleep each night is important, so that if our time of death comes during our sleep, we die in a state of eeman. In addition, who would not like to have 70,000 angels praying for his/her forgiveness?

Not mine, but perhaps someone has a project in mind:
hmm, is that black or green?
From the looks of it,it's a signature nose cone; the three piece is the tell. I don't very much like the gigantic holes that were drilled for the license plate holder. As a teaser, I'll be posting my no holes license plate attachment in a few days, waiting on one part:smile:.
Looks like they've dropped the price by $50 ($149.99 + $119 shipping).

Big Two Hundred - Drum Spell
Since disbanding Bizarre Inc back in 1996 after their second album, 'Surprise', was a commercial flop, Andrew Meecham and Dean Meredith have been incredibly creatively fertile, together and apart, with less chart success but with an increasingly eclectic sound. They both dabbled in Big Beat as Sir Drew and Psychedeliasmith respectively, before coming together again as Chicken Lips in 1999 and exploring the outer reaches of space funk, nu-disco and leftfield house. On the solo tip, Meecham has been recording spaced-out analogue disco as the Emperor Machine for DC Recordings since 2003 (more on that one day - the 'Vertical Tones and Horizontal Noise' series is brilliant), and Meredith's White Light Circus project (also on DC) is Moroder/Kraftwerk influenced dirty old school electro and celestial funk (again, I should really cover this some day as it is equally good).
But my favourite post-Bizarre Inc incarnation for Meecham and Meredith was Big Two Hundred. Under that alias they recorded a solitary album, 'Your Personal Filth', released on DC Recordings in 2003; a rampant collection of dub disco, punk funk and psychedelic garage rock, very much in thrall to Bristol's late-1970s post punk pioneers The Pop Group and with nods to The Clash and PiL. It's a fucking freaky far out and hugely underrated album with a dirty, stoned sound enhanced by the fact that it was all recorded on vintage analogue equipment. Check 'Drum Spell', which sounds like an outtake from a Can album - 12-minutes of locked Krauty grooves, a bucketload of spooky echo effects and insane, voodoo-influenced, dubbed-out percussion that sounds like it's being played with human bones. And to think this fell out of the same heads that made 'I'm Gonna Get You'. I want some of whatever it was they'd been taking...

COBWEB CORNERS: That other town
By Mel McFarland
Last week I talked about our town's start, but what of that other one? In early 1871 General William J. Palmer and his engineers were surveying for a railroad route south from Denver. In laying out the preliminary route, they realized that new communities would be required for sidings and water and fuel stops. Palmer wished to be instrumental in naming these towns. Many of the names on his list would be eventually used, but only a few remain.
Some of the names Palmer proposed were: Aceqeua, Aloe, Pickwick, Foothill, Cedarcamp, Parkwater, Cragmoor, Cliff- bound, Solitude, Streamside, Moccasin, Gypsy, Nutshell, Glenlake, Wonderland, Wigwam, and many other glorious names. His proposed names for familiar places (and their modern equivalents) included Edge Platte (Littleton), Water Camp (Acequia), Hillskirt (Sedalia), Citadel (Castle Rock), Park Gate (Glade), Pine Land (Greenland), Crestlake (Palmer Lake), and Coal Town (Florence). Colorado Springs was not even the first choice for that name; Fountain and Park Gate were also considered. The locations and names were still being sorted out when construction began in Denver in March 1871.
The Colorado Springs Company, a Palmer-directed company separate from the railroad, was organized with Henry McAllister as executive director. On June 26, 1871, the company held its first meeting in Denver. Basic town layout and construction priorities were decided upon. Colorado Springs would be of personal importance to Palmer. He wanted it to be a shining example of an ideal community. It would be located northeast of the confluence of Monument and Fountain Creeks with plenty of room to grow. The layout of the town was on an area just above the level of the creeks. The prairie would be turned into streets while the railroad's construction crews worked from Denver.
The town started to take shape in late 1871. General Palmer and his backers were enthusiastic about the project, and they planned many other communities along the line. Unfortunately it was more of a gamble than it appeared. More towns failed than survived, and others were taken over by even later towns.

Global Water Scarcity & Cleanliness. Water is expected to become in shorter supply as the global population growth accelerates. The 2017 World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report ranked Water Crises as the third highest of all risks, higher than Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Spread of Infectious Diseases (pandemics). Our reliance on the availability of fresh water is essential to our earth and our growing populations, however, the United Nations World Water Development Report 2017 indicates a 60% global shortage between forecasted water demand and available supply within the next twelve years – by 2030. There is a clear relationship between water availability, health, food production and the potential for civil unrest.
GLC's nanomaterial Platform Products:
- Aerogel & Hydrogel
- G+ Fiber
- G+ Filtration Platform – Water/Air Purification
Environment-Filtration. While current solutions such as reverse osmosis exist, and are widely used in the water desalination of seawater, the water they produce is expensive. While this is less of an issue for countries with inexpensive energy costs, it puts the technology beyond the reach of most of the world's population. Any new solution for water issues needs to be able to demonstrate precise control over pore sizes, be highly resistant to fouling and significantly reduce energy use. Nanotechnology has long been recognized as this solution with a focus of creating a structure with the correct size nanoscale pores to develop a better filter. Fortunately, developments in the 'wonder material' graphene are expected to change the economics of water.
GLC is engaged in the environmental market segment, specifically water treatment and purification. GLC has already received significant interest from industry to develop application formulations relating to water purification. Customers in this segment include water and wastewater treatment facilities, water purification companies, municipalities, and companies whose business requires the treatment of effluents before discharging into the municipal sewage system. GLC has begun discussions with Lockheed Martin to support their graphene film based filter membrane program for safe drinking water leveraging the agreement signed recently with the Alberta government. (Alberta and Lockheed Martin Move Solutions to Markets 2014) Specific opportunities in Alberta include energy tailings pond reclamation, blue/green algae in lakes & ponds, water treatment, and environmental sensors.
Environment-Filtration. GLC will engage with mining customers with a focus on development of sustainable treatment and filtration solutions. We understand that the solutions employed must be able to satisfy regulatory agency requirements and improve the bottom-line. GLC understands that our solutions must be compatible with our customers' operating environment that includes widely fluctuating market conditions, commodity markets, and thin operating margins.
The global graphene segment of nanotech market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 58.7% from 2015 through 2020, with North America marked as one of the four key markets for graphene formulations and applications.

Discussion in 'Battery Discussion' started by TEG, Apr 27, 2009.
Energy/Environment - Automotive Engineering International Online
They mention Obama's target of one million plug ins by 21015 but not his 2 billion pledged for advanced battery research.
Not sure what they mean by overcapacity, sounds like blatant naysaying.
We need to increase taxes on gasoline.
I suggest a tax that only holds the sales price level every time it is dropped by the oil companies. Cap at 3.50 a gallon (the magic price where consumers broke down).
The price of gas would quickly go to 3.50, squeezing out your additional tax. The only effect would be to enrichen the oil companies.
Yeah we need a tax that keeps the gas a constant price of $5/gallon. If it goes tot he govt we benefit and if it goes to the oil companies then they will go out of business cause we will all find other sources. Also, cut out all of the hidden govt subsidies. That will drive the price way up.
Can't disagree. But if we kept the same gasoline tax as today and added my scheme to the top of it then there is no loss of Government funds.
There would be a little bonus additional funds coming in as the oil industry raised then lowered prices on the way to $3.50.
The point of the plan is not to make extra money for the Government nor is it to make the oil companies richer, though it will and make them look bad in the process since they can't blame the Government and taxes for the high prices.
The ultimate goal of the plan is to get the price of gasoline to $3.50 a gallon. That is the point that consumers started screaming for Electric cars.
Someone may have a more elegant plan (see, feed-in-tariff) but this one ain't bad.

Behavioral Economics - Prof. Ranjan Banerjee ( IIM C )
mbatious last edited by admin
Content & PR team - MBAtious
Prof. Ranjan Banerjee is the founder of Renaissance and is currently heading the ship as its CEO. He did his B.Tech from IIT-B, MBA from IIM-C, & in 2010 completed his Ph.D from Carlson School, University of Minnesota. He is an ardent foodie and follows cricket religiously. He is always game for exploring new ideas.
When I talk to students and corporates about behavioural economics for the first time, they find it both cool and disturbing. Cool because the behavioural economics phenomena are interesting; and disturbing because they break a myth. What's the myth that they break? The dominant theory that we have had about how people make decisions is that people are rational. When we say that people are rational,it kind of assumes that we know exactly what we are doing. But we have always known that in the real world, it is natural that human beings make mistakes.
Behavioural economics, put simply, is the science of how people make mistakes. Let me give you a simple example. Suppose I give you two choices for a new treatment for a disease. You are told that in the first case 200 people will definitely be saved by the treatment. In the second case, there is a one- third probability that 600 people will be saved and there is a two third probability that nobody will be saved. In this case, most people will take the sure option. Now, let's suppose I give you a second choice in which I tell you that the first option is that 400 people will die for sure. In the second choice I tell you there is a two-third probability that 600 people will die but there is a one-third probability that nobody will die. Interestingly, when it is framed in a positive manner, everybody would want to save 200 people. However, when it is framed negatively, everybody gets scared at the thought of 400 people dying.
This brings us to the first and primary tenet of behavioural economics. The way people make decisions depend on the way those decisions are framed. You can observe this in many situations. When we used to come home from school with our marks-sheet, the first question was about the highest score. There is always a frame of reference; and decisions are judged based on whether they are gain or loss making against that frame of reference. The interesting insight here is that just by changing that frame of reference; you can change people's decisions. So what we realise is that reference points can be manipulated.
Now let's say I'm a marketer. What can I do with this insight? Let me tell you about a simple experiment on a bunch of graduate students. They were given two choices. The first choice was an online subscription to The Economist at 58$. The second choice included both the online and print versions together at 125$. Since graduate students like to save money; they chose the online option. Another group of graduate students were given three options. First option same as before 58$, second option print only 125$, third option print plus online 125$. Now what happens? Interestingly, because "print only" becomes a reference point, the majority of the students choose the print plus online option. This is what we call the decoy effect, where you introduce a choice which changes the reference point and hence changes the decision. Now imagine that you are heading Pizza Hut. If you want to sell a dish, all you have to do is to introduce three choices in the menu, one of them being a decoy.
One of the craziest effects in this area of Behavioural economics is what they call anchoring. There is this remarkable experiment with students at MIT. 55 students were asked to write down the last two digits of their social security number. Then they were asked to guess prices. Now here is the funny thing. When they were asked to guess the price of a mouse, the students who had last two digits between 0 and 20, guessed around 8$. Students who had their social security number between 80 and 100 guessed 26$.
Now why does this happen? We all know that the last two digits of our social security number are actually pretty arbitrary, so it shouldn't mean anything. But I don't know the prize and I have the last two digits of my social security number written in front of me. So I start counting down, and I think about how much I should adjust. So in one case, I start adjusting downwards from 20, in another case I start adjusting downwards from 90 and that explains the difference in the result.
But then a lot of people might say okay these are students, does it have any practical application? Steve Jobs saw the practical application. When the I-Pad was launched, there was a lot of speculation about the price. The dominant price as reported by the media was 999$. This figure was not from the company or from Mr. Jobs. This was what trade press was saying. And then at the I-pad launch, Steve Jobs says, "what's the price going to be?" And he puts up a slide with 999$. Everybody is looking at it. There is a magical crash and 499$ appears. Now why 999? This to me is a marketing application of anchoring. The only purpose of 999 was to introduce 499. Therefore the MIT students and the consumers of the I-Pad both are subject to the anchoring effect.
Ok so here is my parting shout. Here is a question for you. How many animals did Moses take on the Ark? Think carefully… well here's the answer. Moses didn't take any animals on the arch, Noah did.

What is most striking when you look at the NED 70 of the Dutch company Ned Yacht is the length/width ratio of 4:1. The slender shape of this stunning new motoryacht is accentuated by the angle of the windows in the wheelhouse and the shape of the stanchions.
This brand new motoryacht was designed by the international well-known Vripack Naval Architects according to the so-called 'LDL-principle'. This means that not the ships volume is essential, but the lines of the ship itself are leading in the design.
Of course the completely aluminium NED 70 is provided with all luxury you can image. But also the range of this special ship is stunning. You can cross the Atlantic and pick an anchor bay on Barbados, but also cruise the British east coast or the Dutch 'Wadden-area'.
The lines of the NED 70 are sharp and angular. These contours make the yacht look slender and a little 'mean'. Designed according to LDL, in which LDL stands for Low Displacement Length. A modern word, but a principle that is at least one century old. In the days that engines were not as powerful as they are nowadays it was essential to have a length/width ratio of at least 4:1 to make sure ships were able of good cruising speeds. To make sure that the NED 70 behaves well in waves, the hull is provided with bilge keels and stabilizers that will eliminate rocking in waves. The bilge keels have a second advantage: they make it possible to let the NED 70 easily dry out in tidal areas.
The NED 70 by Vripack has two guest cabins in the back of the ship. The owners cabin is situated in the front. The guest cabins are big, each with its own bathroom with a separated toilet and shower compartiment. All horizontal surfaces – including the floors – are finished in Corian. The saloon and the wheelhouse are located in the front part of the ship. This area on board is roomy and light. The position of the helmsman is central in the middle of the boat. Next to it there is a seat for passengers who want to see what is happening and also two big couches from where you can actively experience what is going on on board and around you.
In the saloon the luxurious galley and a big U-shaped dinette are located. You can easily sit here with at least six persons. In the cockpit you will find two fixed benches and several moveable hockers, so you can chance the lay-out according to your wishes and needs. Looking at the transom of the yacht you will notice the specific shape that is meant to keep breaking weaves out of the cockpit. On the flybridge the second helm is located. Also in the middle of the ship and surrounded by three benches where passengers can have a seat. At the end of this flybridge the mast is stepped. This provides space for all kinds of antennas and other navigation and communication equipment. Part of this mast is used as a crane to hoist the tender. Both mast and crane can be folded backwards to eliminate the total height of the yacht.
The superstructure of the NED 70 has slanting lines and is provided with dark windows. Both big windows in the sides of the superstructure are constructed in a way that they also provide space to sit down. In front of the superstructure you will find a big hatch where you can store lines, fenders and all kind of other stuff. Nice details on deck are the aluminium bollards and the black stanchions and rails. The interior of the NED 70 is fresh and modern.
The outside light is filtered by wengé blinds. The finish of the interior is a combination of white washed oak and wengé details. This finishing gives every piece of furniture in the yacht it's own final touch. The upper side of the interior is white which intensifies the roomy impression of the inside of this yacht. The ceilings are made of panels with lining. This has a good effect on sound-isolation and is a very nice contrast with the white top-finishing. All seats are covered with grey and white leather. Colourful cushions provide a sparkling contrast.

Sarangpur Queen's mosque door of stair
Surveyor: Burgess, James (1832-1916)
Medium: Pen and ink on paper
Date: 1884
Illustration of a doorway from the Queen's mosque at Sarangpur near Ahmadabad in Gujarat. The Queen's mosque, also known as the Malik Sarang mosque or Rani Mosque was built c.1530 by Malik Quivam ul Mulk, the governor of Ahmadabad in the 1520s and a nobleman at the court of Sultan Muzaffar Shah (r.1511-26). The mosque has five large domes and a series of arched entrances along the facade. The larger central entrance is flanked by two robust minarets, now truncated at roof level. The bases of the minarets are covered in elaborate carving in the niches and across a series of horizontal bands. The interior of the minarets and the roof are accessible via stairs. This illustration of a door, located in the mosque's interior, leads to the stairs of the minarets and are also highly decorative with carved architraves and arched heads with pyramidal fronts above.

The Shibe/doge is one of our favorite completely weird memes. It has complicated beginnings, but it is so absurd that we get lost very easily once we dive into this world. The Tumblr Shiba Confessions is probably the best source for weird Shiba stuff, but there are also several subreddits dedicated to the dog.
We've got a soft spot for GIFs, so here are just a few to give you a taste, and maybe remind you that the internet is truly a very weird place.

The Library was the greatest assemblage of magical texts anywhere in the multiverse. Thousands of volumes of occult lore weighted its shelves. It was said that, since vast amounts of magic can seriously distort the mundane world, the Library did not obey the normal rules of space and time. It was said that it went on forever. It was said that you could wander for days among the distant shelves, that there were lost tribes of research students somewhere in there, that strange things lurked in forgotten alcoves and were preyed on by other things that were even stranger. And, because magic can only loosely be bound, the Library books themselves were more than mere pulped wood and paper. Raw magic crackled from their spines, faint traceries of blue fire crawled across the bookcases and there was a sound, a papery whispering. In the silence of the night the books talked to one another.

In the eighties science fiction gained a hard edge to it, in the form of cyberpunk. A dark prophetic vision of the future where powerful corporations battled against the rights of the individual in the realms of cyberspace and beyond. William Gibson is credited with kicking off the revolution, but there are several other 'heroes of the faith'. Browse within to become an initiate in the hidden and secret worlds of cyberpunk.
This page has the cream of the crop. The best of science fiction since the dawn of time... well a few that appeal to me anyway.
This page offers a small selection of fiction from the last couple of centuries. Authors ranging from HP Lovecraft, to Nick Hornby, to Anne Rice.
Some books are classics by virtue of quality, some by virtue of age, and some by virtue of length. Which is which, is up to you to determine. In fact not all these books are ancient - this section features my favourites from the Beat Generation. For whatever reason, every book in this section deserves the title Classic.
These books range from the spiritual to the scientific. Books on philosophy nestle next to ancient classics and tomes of psychology. You can even help yourself from the self-help section.
This page gathers a few books with Christian themes. It includes some fiction, as well as some Classic Christian texts.
The Librarian was, of course, very much in favour of reading in general, but readers in particular got on his nerves. There was something, well, sacrilegious about the way they kept taking books off the shelves and wearing out the words by reading them. He liked people who loved and respected books, and the best way to do that, in the Librarian's opinion, was to leave them on the shelves where Nature intended them to be.

MIAMI — A federal judge in Miami on Wednesday cast serious doubts about Gov. Rick Scott's order requiring thousands of state government employees to undergo a random drug test, suggesting his policy "sweeps too broadly."
U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro peppered a government lawyer with questions about the constitutionality of Scott's policy, saying she had "trouble understanding the circumstances under which the executive order would be valid."
Jesse Panuccio, deputy general counsel for Scott's office, did not provide specific examples but rather talked generally about the harm of drug use among state employees in the workplace. "Drugs are very harmful," he told the judge. "They're very dangerous."
Ungaro said she would soon make up her mind about the legal challenge to Scott's policy by the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.
The group argues that his order violates the Fourth Amendment rights of state workers because the testing requirement is "suspicionless" and therefore an illegal search and seizure.
"For the consent (to the search) to be valid, it has to be voluntary," ACLU lawyer Shalini Goel Agarwal argued. "This blanket drug testing is unconstitutional."
The legal challenge to the governor's order, which has been placed on hold by Scott himself until the dispute is resolved, centers on whether the state has a constitutional right to require random drug tests of existing public workers and mandatory testing of all new employees. The governor issued his order last March.
Meanwhile, the Legislature is considering a proposed law that would mandate random drug tests of state employees every three months.
As it stands, Scott's order affects a pool of 80,000 state employees who work for agencies under the governor, but does not extend to agencies overseen jointly by the governor and Cabinet, such as the departments of Revenue and Education or the Public Service Commission.
Scott has defended the order as a policy the public wants, and a protection the state should have.
"Look, the private sector does this all the time," Scott said last June, when he suspended his order on drug testing while the federal court in Miami hears the ACLU challenge.
"Our taxpayers expect our state employees to be productive, and this is exactly what the private sector does," he said.
But the ACLU, which is representing the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the nation's largest union for state workers, counters that random drug testing was ruled unconstitutional in a 2004 case against the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.
Random drug testing is not allowed, a federal judge ruled in that case, except for those jobs that affect public safety and in instances where a reasonable suspicion of abuse exists.
Federal courts in Florida and other states have cited the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches, concluding that governments cannot require job applicants to take drug tests absent a "special need," such as safety.
In October, a federal judge in Orlando echoed that legal view when she temporarily blocked Florida's controversial law requiring welfare applicants be drug tested to qualify for benefits.

Calendar changes sought at 8 schools as Wake reduces some year-round options
Wake announces 2017-18 Teacher of the Year Semifinalists
Eight schools could change their calendars in 2018 in the first step of a districtwide review that reduces the number of year-round schools in Wake County.
Wake County school administrators recommended Tuesday that six year-round schools in Garner and East Wake switch to a traditional calendar in 2018 and that two year-round schools move to a multi-track year-round calendar.
Those proposed changes will be followed in the next few months by more staff recommendations that could lead to calendar changes at multi-track year-round schools and at magnet schools that followed the modified calendar.
By the end of the process, several schools could be on different calendars for the 2018-19 school year.
The proposed changes come as the result of a 2016 district study that found the majority of traditional-calendar elementary and middle schools were over capacity. The study also found that the majority of the "non-traditional calendar schools" were under capacity.
"We seem to have a sense from the community that the traditional calendar is the preferable calendar," said Cathy Moore, deputy superintendent for academic advancement, in an interview. "We want to make sure that we maintain the year-round calendar options in locations where our families desire them."
The majority of Wake's 159,549 students attend traditional-calendar schools, which open in late August and end by early June. Students have summer breaks of 10 or more weeks.
A study of year-round calendars prompted Wake to consider whether to make changes at the more than 50 schools that don't use a traditional calendar.
The year-round calendar study prompted Wake to consider whether to make changes at the more than 50 schools that don't use a traditional calendar. These schools add periodic breaks during the school year that lead to a shorter summer vacation.
At the 37 multi-track year-round schools, students are split into four groups, or tracks, with three in session at all times. The students follow different schedules that result in an increase in how many students can attend.
Wake has 11 single-track schools where students all follow the same schedules. Classes start in late July or early August and end in late June.
Many single-track schools were traditional-calendar schools that were converted in the late 2000s to a multi-track schedule. But when enrollment growth came in less than expected, several multi-track schools were converted to single track or to a traditional calendar.
In modified-calendar schools, classes start in late July and end in late May.
After the large expansion in year-round schools, Moore said school leaders are trying to provide families with calendar choices while making sure schools are efficiently utilized.
"We want to make sure that all of our schools are being appropriately utilized," she said. "We don't want to have underenrolled schools. We don't want to have oversubscribed schools."
School administrators started first by focusing on the single-track schools and Carver Elementary, which is a modified-calendar school.
On Tuesday, staff recommended for the 2018-19 school year that:
▪ East Wake and North Garner middle schools and Carver, Lockhart, Rand Road and Vance elementary schools switch to a traditional calendar;
▪ Lake Myra and Timber Drive elementary schools switch to a multi-track calendar;
▪ Rolesville Middle School become the year-round school option for East Wake, Wendell and Zebulon middle schools;
▪ West Lake Middle School become the year-round school option for East Garner, Ligon and North Garner middle schools.
Wake opened an online feedback form, www.wcpss.net/calendardiscussion, to get comment on the proposed changes. A proposed timetable calls for staff to bring back the feedback on March 7, with the school board voting on the calendar changes on March 21.
The time line also calls for staff to make recommendations in March on changes at multi-track schools with the board voting April 18,
The time line also has staff potentially making recommendations in May on which modified-calendar magnet schools will change calendars with the board voting in June. Four Raleigh magnet schools – Southeast Raleigh High, Centennial Campus and Moore Square middle schools and Partnership Elementary School – follow the modified calendar.

What ever happened to Habeas Corpus? October 18, 2006Posted by Matt Hurst in Politics.
add a comment
They were scared shitless. It had been five years since a people had been savagely attacked, but they knew the enemy was at large. A final solution was needed.
They were an administration, accused of savage acts that violated international law, and fighting a loosing battle for their political control of their own nation. They needed a final solution.
They were a party, beleaguered by crime and corruption in violation of their own law. The laws set before them, a naive writ made 800 years their prior, threatened their security of rule. To secure their power, a final solution needed to be made.
In the fall of 2006, a solution was finally made – the Military Commissions Act. No longer beleaguered by the right to trial by jury. No longer threatened by the rights of the enemy to the Geneva Conventions. No longer in jeopardy to the whim of another enemy party to prosecute them. No longer in violation of law – the law said they could do what they wanted.
We fell asleep. The American people were either too scared or too deafened by the boy who cried wolf, to do anything more than change the channel. Those in the former category had little to fear – they didn't speak up so much as follow orders to duck and cover in the endless war. Those who didn't know any better wanted to know which star could dance the best on television. Either one had given up their rights by not practicing them ages ago. In effect, nothing had changed.
The Military Commissions act, raced through congress in the last few weeks of session before the mid-term elections at the insistence of President Bush, legalizes in broad terms the torture and detention of people who have been deemed guilty of crimes they have not committed. Framed in terms of fighting terrorism, this law legalizes the practice of this administration to extract those termed "enemy combatants" by the administration (which the law does not bother to define) and hold them indefinitely (in detention centers, prison by any other name) without the right to know what for they will be charged. The right to trial by jury for these people deemed threats to the country is negligent, although it also allows that government to torture them in what would otherwise be relegated to war crimes (and was during the Nuremburg Trials).
The congress and Bush administration have suspended the Great Writ – the Writ of Habeas Corpus. In other words, we have betrayed a long legal tradition, not just pre-9/11 but pre-Magna Carta. This tradition, the very foundation of our democratic system, supposes that those held as threats to their fellow citizen must be held with REASON that is self-evident.
It was important enough that people fought a war over it – the American Revolution. It was important enough that it was written in our constitution before the Bill of Rights was. IT was important enough that the Bill of Rights presupposes the Great Writ. It is important enough that we would not even treat the Nazis without the same rights they violated. It was the very foundation of our democratic system, since laws we make would have to be enforced with the right to face these charges over mere suspicion.
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HABEAS CORPUS WAS SUSPENDED? You might ask yourself again huddled in the corner, asking yourself why you had been detained yourself

This week's #SundaySupper theme is Heritage. I have always joked that I am a bit of a mutt, but really that isn't true. I was adopted at birth, so my mom and dad are really the mutts. I am not really sure what either of them are. A lot of everything. And my step dad is German. And … hubby is Scottish and well, it's not like I was out of choices there, so I knew this week would be super easy.
Then I got to thinking about it.
When I was in 7th grade my mother pushed me to take French in school. I didn't understand it at all. Everyone else was taking Spanish but she insisted I took French. Then when 8th grade rolled around, she insisted I continue with it, and so I did, because by that time I actually loved the language and the culture and was a bit obsessed really. And she always encouraged it.
The funny thing is, I always thought the main reason she was pushing it is because she lived in Canada before I was born and they adopted me. So I really had no clue what the real reason until I was going into my 3rd year of French and one day she she told me.
She said the only thing I know about your biological mother is that they had a French Heritage. She wouldn't say anything else, and I don't think I asked much more. I think I was sort of stunned.
All these years later, I know what my biological families last name is. And it is indeed 100% French. There were a few that immigrated over to Germany and multiplied that way, but the name is and was originally 100% French.
I will always love that side of my momma. That side that didn't want to admit to the fact that I was 100% hers, but yet she still gave me that gift of my past which is a beautiful thing. I did complete 5 full years of French. I wish I could tell you that means something, like I can speak it fluently, but alas, I cannot. Unfortunately time has made me forget a lot. I can translate better than I can speak it. I can tell you what thousands of words are and a lot of it is coming back as my teens are taking French in school, which as been really awesome.
So of course, for Heritage week and #SundaySupper, I chose a French meal, and I really chose the most popular French meal. It's a favorite of mine and my kids, and we're sharing it with you. Enjoy!
Croque Monsieur with Bechamel Sauce
- 1 loaf of french bread
- ½ lb. deli ham, thinly sliced
- 2 c. grated Gruyère cheese
- 1½ c. of hot milk
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 3 Tbs. all purpose flour
- Dijon Mustard
- a pinch of pepper and a pinch of nutmeg
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- The traditional way to serve Croque Monsieur is with a béchamel sauce. Bechamel sauce is a mild, sauce that is delicious. To make it, put 2 Tbs. of butter in a small sauce pan on low heat. Melt the butter completely and allow it to boil for about 2 minutes (you want to see it bubble). Once it is bubbling – add the 3 Tbs. of flour – whisk until smooth. Once it's smooth, whisk in the hot milk (I just microwaved it for 2 minutes) and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and add a a half cup of the grated cheese (or more if you'd like more – we like more). Mix into the sauce. Then add the pepper and the nutmeg. Stir and set aside.
- Lightly butter the bread, and toast it in the oven for about 4 minutes. Flip it over and toast the other side for about 2-3 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly and put several slices of ham onto the toasted bread and then divide the remaining cheese on top of the ham slices on each slice of bread. Pick up the other half of the bread and spread a think layer of dijon mustard on the underside of the top of the sandwich. You can hardly taste it but that's the point, it's just a light flavor there unless you desire more. Place that on top and you have a sandwich.
- Now it's time to finish it all up. Pour the béchamel sauce over the top of each of the sandwiches. Go ahead – smother them all the way. The more, the better. No joke.
- Put the sandwiches into your 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes. Then, turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes. You want it to be bubbly and the cheese to be slightly golden brown.
- Remove the croque monsieur from the oven immediately and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Serve! They are delish!

Classic Eyelash
Volume Eyelash
What are eyelash extensions?
Eyelash extensions are not to be confused with strip lashes "or cluster lashes". The eyelash extensions we apply at Royal Jasmin are individual, semi-permanent, glossy synthetic lashes that are applied to your natural lashes to make them look longer, fuller and thicker. It is a single lash procedure.
What do they look like?
The lashes look like real lashes but come in different lengths, thicknesses, curls and even colors! We can achieve a natural look or a more dramatic look- whichever you prefer.
What do they look like?
The lashes look like real lashes but come in different lengths, thicknesses, curls and even colors! We can achieve a natural look or a more dramatic look- whichever you prefer.
How do they feel?
The lashes are weightless!
How are the lashes applied?
The lashes are applied one lash at a time. We isolate a natural eyelash and then adhere a single lash extension to the top of it by using a special bonding adhesive made exclusively for eyelash extensions. This is done approximately 1mm from the eyelid so neither the lash or the adhesive has contact with your skin. Again, the lashes are NOT applied to your skin-just your eyelash hair.
Do they hurt?
NO. When properly applied you should not feel them at all. They are lightweight and feel totally natural.
How long do they last?
Indefinitely with Touch-Up appointments. Natural lashes are constantly shedding and new ones are growing in their place. Extensions will fall out along with your natural lash when it's at the end of its growth stage. As the new ones come in, they will need to have extensions attached.
Can I get the lashes for a one-time occasion?
Yes, absolutely recommended for events such as reunions, weddings, honeymoons, vacations, proms, formals, photo shoots, etc.
If I want to keep them, what is the maintenance?
The extensions shed with your natural lash that it is attached to. Growth and shedding cycles are inconsistent and random so to maintain your new look, we recommend having a "Touch-Up" every 2-3 weeks.
Are eyelash extensions suitable for everyone?
Anyone of any age (women AND men) can have eyelash extensions as long as there is a healthy natural lash to adhere the extension onto. Our trained professionals can tell you if your natural lashes are eligible. If you are under the age of 18, your parent must accompany you to the appointment and sign a consent form for you.
Why wouldn't my eyelashes be "eligible" for extensions?
Some lashes could be too weak, too thin or too kinky/curly. If you are unsure, call us to book a free consultation anytime.
Can I get extensions if I rub my eyes?
If you have a habit of rubbing your eyes, eyelash extensions may not be for you. We want you to avoid rubbing or tugging at your eyes-you do not want to pull out your extensions as it may take your natural lash with it.
How do I take care of them?
It may seem like a lot to remember, but eyelash extensions are very easy to take care of. The most important thing to be aware of is that "oil is the enemy". Oil will break down the bond of the adhesive and cause premature loss of the extension. You want to make sure there is no oil in anything you use near your eyes. (foundation, eye creams, makeup, etc.) You do not want to get them wet for 24 hours. Never pull on them. Avoid running water on your lashes. Avoid sauna or hot steam. Use only water based makeup remover. Do not rub your eyes. Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler. Do not sleep on your face.
What can I expect during my appointment?
While you relax, our licensed, certified professional performs the delicate task of attaching one lash at a time. In fact, most clients fall asleep! We play relaxing music but feel free to bring your iPod, audio book or favorite CD's!
Can I wear mascara?
We ask that you do not. One advantage of having lash extensions is not needing mascara. Ditch the mascara-you really do not need it! Never use waterproof mascara or oil based mascara on the extensions as it will break the bond of the adhesive.
Can I swim, shower, exercise or visit a spa while wearing lashes?
Yes, if these activities are not done excessively. Our special adhesive allows you to shower, swim, exercise, sleep and spa while wearing extensions. You can enjoy your lash extensions with little need to adjust your lifestyle. Please do not swim or spa (even steam from your shower) for 12 hours after your lash procedure to allow the bonding agent to fully cure. The main thing to remember with these activities is that you just want to make sure the extensions are not excessively exposed to heat and moisture.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
1. Be sure to have all makeup removed from the eye area. The more time we spend doing this for you, the less time we have to apply lashes!
2. Do not drink too much caffeine before your appointment. This can make your lashes flutter which makes it difficult to apply lashes.
3. Please put your cell phone on vibrate or silent.
4. If you would like, bring your ipod to listen to.
5. You may want to visit the ladies room beforehand.
Can I use an eyelash curler?
No, throw your eyelash curler out! Eyelash curlers may pull not only your lash extensions, but also your own lashes. Even if you do not have extensions on, throw the curler out- over time it ruins your natural lashes and could cause bald spots in your natural lashline. Remember, our lash extensions are ALREADY curled!
Are the Royal Jasmin extension professionals licensed? Yes, Pa licensed Cosmetologist, or Esthetician
Are the Royal Jasmin extension professionals certified?
Yes. They are certified and highly trained by Minkys .
Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels
Q: What are chemical peels?
A. Chemical peels contain different chemical solutions to produce a separation and peeling of the outer layers of the skin and stimulate the production of new cells. They vary from very light and superficial to medium and more intense medical grade peels. The type of the peel recommended will depend on your skin condition, type, and desired result. The skin's reaction to the chemical peel is similar to what you would experience with a sunburn. At Bliss Facial Spa we offer several different types of chemical peel blends to fit everyone's skin care needs such as: Vitamin C/Enzyme, Glycolic/Retinol, Lactic/Kojic, Salicylic/Glycolic, Jessners, and other combinations of these acids.
Q: Who should not have chemical peels?
A. You should not have a chemical peel if you:
Q: What results can I expect?
A. Chemical peels will significantly transform your skin by promoting a healthy youthful glow, softening fine lines, fading dark spots and discoloration, and diminishing enlarged pores and acne scars.
Q: How do chemical peels work?
A. The chemical peel removes the top layers of the skin. This stimulates the basal cell layer to regenerate new cells more quickly. By peeling off aged or sun-damaged skin, the skin takes on a healthier, fresher, less aged appearance. Wrinkles on the face will appear softer. Chemical peels also help to clear acne breakouts more rapidly. The peeling action helps to bring the closed and open comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) closer to the surface, helping to clear your complexion faster.
Q: Am I a candidate for a chemical peel?
A. Chemical peels are a very safe and predictable procedure that can be used on any skin type including Caucasian, Asian, Black or Mediterranean. However, consult with you skin specialist regarding the improvement you can expect. Based on the current condition of your skin, and your health history, your specialist will recommend the peel that is right for you.
Q: What will happen during and after the procedure?
A. Once your skin has been cleansed and prepared with a prep solution, the chemicals are applied. The application process takes approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the strength of the chemical solution and how many layers of application are used. Some of the peels are rinsed off and others stay on the skin to penetrate on a deeper level. During and after application some slight stinging and burning may occur. Usually the level of discomfort will diminish quickly. After the procedure your skin will feel soft and smooth, sometimes tight, and you may experience a slight superficial anesthesia to light touch. This is your skin's natural reaction to chemical stimulation and should diminish within 30-60 minutes after the treatment.
Q: How will I take care of my skin after the procedure?
A. You may be more sensitive to the sun, so limit your sun exposure during the treatment time and for at least one week after the treatment. You should use daily sun protection with total UV protection of SPF 40 or higher. Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 2-3 days, as the perspiration may irritate the skin. When washing your face, do not scrub. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid wearing foundation during the days when your skin is actually peeling. Do not "help" your skin to peel to avoid scarring or rashes. Do not have any other facial treatment for at least one week after your peeling is completed. You may resume use of Retin-A, alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) products or bleaching agents only after the peeling process is complete. We provide detailed post-peel instructions to our clients.
Q: How much will I peel?
A. The intensity of the peel depends on the strength and type of the peel. You may not experience visible peeling with lighter peels. With stronger peels visible peeling will occur usually 2-4 days following the procedure. The peeling will last approximately 3-7 days. Some mild itching and irritation may occur during the peeling process, which is your skin's normal response.
Q: What should I expect from the consultation?
A. A personal consultation is the first step for everyone considering a Chemical Peel treatment. During this consultation your skin specialist will evaluate your skin type, discuss your specific cosmetic goals, the severity of any sun damage, uneven pigmentation and surface imperfections. The consultation will help determine which chemical procedure can offer you the greatest benefits based on your individual situation.
Q: What should I do prior to my chemical peel appointment?
A. For the best result, it is advisable to avoid sun exposure and the following products and procedures at least one week prior to treatment:
Q: How often can I receive Chemical Peel treatments?
A. Light Chemical exfoliations produce little or no peeling as it removes very superficial skin layers. Those peels can be received as a series of treatments as often as every week. The stronger the peel the longer the distance in between should be. The amount of chemical treatments you receive will depend upon your skin type, your discomfort level during the peeling process, how much your skin peels the first time, and the goals that you and your skin specialist have agreed upon.

tak sengaja meng-klik lagu ini di folder senandung laptop. mendengarkan lirik dan syairnya membawa ingatan pada kisah masa lalu. saat masih kecil. saat masih diantar ke tempat tidur, saat pagi menjelang sekolah..huup…saat-saat 20 tahun yg lalu.
setiap anak akan mengatakan bahwa ibuku adalah ibu yang hebat,,,,she's amazing. dan lagu ini tepat untuk seluruh ibu di dunia. para perempuan berhati mulia.
suatu hari nanti aku ingin, anak-anakku akan berkata hal yang sama; "my mum is amazing". amin
My Mum Is Amazing
Munsyid : Zain Bhikha Feat Nadeera Al
She wakes early in the morning with a smile
And she holds my head up high:
"Don't you ever let anybody put you down –
'Coz you are my little angel"
Then she makes something warm for me to drink –
'Coz it's cold out there, she thinks
Then she walks me to school – yes, I ain't no fool
I just think my mum is amazing
She makes me feel –
Like I can do anything
And when she's with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
After school, she's waiting by the gate
I'm so happy that I just can't wait –
To get home to tell her how my day went
Eat the yummy food only my mum makes
Then I wind her up 'coz I don't want to bath
And we run around the house with a laugh
No matter what I say, she gets her way
I think my mum is amazing
In the evening, she tucks me into bed
And I wrap my arms around her head
Then she tells me a tale of a girl far away –
Who one day became a princess
I'm so happy – I don't want her to leave
So she lies in bed with me
As I close my eyes, how lucky am I –
To have a mum that's so amazing
Then I wake up in the morning – she's not there
And I realise she never was
And I'm still here in this lonely orphanage –
With so many just like me
And as my dreams begin to fade
I try hard to look forward to my day
But there's a pain in my heart that's a craving:
How I wish I had a mum that's amazing
Would be amazing

I have added social sharing features to the site. Feel free to share away.
I've not updated for a while so I guess I better do so now.
I spent a good couple of weeks developing a new library for Basic4Android. This Library allows the users of Basic4Android to utilise the power of the newer style Notifications (Honeycomb onwards) and also the awesome expanding notifications present from Jellybean.
I have also been working hard on a new app, Present Day. This is coming along nicely. It's basically a new take on all these 'xmas gift organiser' apps. What's the new take I hear you ask? well, it's for life, not just for Xmas. By that, I mean you can use it to organise any event, Birthdays, weddings, Easter, etc.
Every now and again, I manage to find a few minutes to work on the Electrical Calculator / Reference app, but the complexities of it make it hard to work on in short spurts. Hopefully will get some quality time to work on it once Present Day is released.
OK, that's about it for now. Back to being an electrician and handyman. Hopefully will have a release for you soon!
Had a month or so off of Android Development due to writing a Windows Program for a client. Now that is finished so it is back to Android.
I guess I missed a rather important page. So, if anyone wishes to contact me. Head over to the 'Contact' page.
OK, here we have it. The BarxDroid website is finally live. I'm sure I will make minor tweaks over the coming weeks, but for arguments sake. Consider it Launched!!
Thank you for visiting BarxDroid.co.uk. I am a new and budding developer for apps designed for use on Android devices. My aim is to create some useful tools, etc to make peoples lives a little easier. Let's face it, life is super fast paced these days.
Please drop by from time to time to see what we have accomplished.

Do many upstate lawmakers not represent a millionaire, as Cuomo said?
"Many of the Senate and Assembly districts, they don't have a millionaire upstate," Cuomo said. "So, it would affect literally no one. But they're against it because it's their basic philosophy as I mentioned." New York state taxes wealthy earners at a higher rate. Republicans have said they're opposed to the higher rate for the wealthy. But during last year's state budget deal, lawmakers agreed to extend the higher rate until the end of 2019. Since then, high-income earners lost the option to deduct more than $10,000 in state income tax as part of the federal tax law passed by Congress. So now Cuomo wants to change the state tax code so wealthy residents can continue those deductions. Is he right that there are few millionaires upstate that would benefit from the change?

Session Number: 2000 Room: Salon E & F
Presenting: Deborah Sherwood; Lisa Hilley
All Authors for this paper: Deborah Sherwood; Lisa Hilley; Sai-Ling Chan-Sew
Presentation Type: poster presentation
Synopsis: This poster describes the three-stage process used in San Francisco to build, refine, and test our program theory of the effect of family involvement on child-level outcomes. First, logic model workshops were conducted with administrators, line staff, and families to articulate the processes that linked family involvement to outcomes. Second, a survey of families was conducted to understand the benefits of family involvement and to test the logic of family involvement stemming from the workshops. Third, child functioning and recidivism data were analyzed for family groups stratified on the amount of family involvement. Results were used to inform and refine our program theory.

A group of female journalists are fighting homelessness by recruiting Mexico's homeless population to work and distribute the Mexico City street paper Mi Valedor.
CGTN's Martin Markovits reports.

Mexican street paper puts people homeless people to workA group of female journalists are fighting homelessness by recruiting Mexico's homeless population to work and distribute the Mexico City street paper "Mi Valedor." CGTN's Martin Markovits reports.
After being homeless for two years on the streets of Mexico City, Jose Santilian was losing hope. Once a proud homeowner, he had spent his days looking for shelter and panhandling for food.
Thanks to Mi Valedor, Santilian is now a newspaper vendor.
After six months on the job, he has saved up enough money to rent his own room and he has his self-esteem back.
"Being able to work and interact with people, it has given me my own sense of security and confidence. Now I don't have to worry all the time on finding a place to stay. Selling this magazine generates enough money for my basic needs," Santilian said.
Founded two years ago Mi Valedor is Mexico's first street paper and is part of a growing number of global publications that are distributed by homeless people.
The work model is simple – vendors buys the paper for five pesos and sell it for twenty, making a 15 peso (73 cent) profit. The paper aims to provide income and job skills to Mexico's growing homeless and low-income population.
Mi Valedor General Director, Maria Portilla, said she was inspired by the UK newspaper The Big Issue, one of the first publications to use this method.
"We go out find them them on the streets and in the shelters of the city. Once they come to our offices, we give them a kit, a permit to sell on the street and a jacket. And this empowers them, they sell it in different places around the city and allows them to make a legitimate living," Portilla said.
