A lesbian high school couple in northern California claims they have been discriminated against after being informed that they are not eligible to run to be prom king and queen.
Foothill High School in Palo Cedro, near Redding, California, has a policy that the king must be a male and the queen a female. Couples are certainly eligible to run, but the boy and girl must win each position individually.
Haley Lack, a senior at Foothill, believes this is unfair discrimination against her and her girlfriend, Jenna Waite, who would like to run as a couple and began a petition to get the policy changed.
Advertisement - story continues below
Foothill's principal, Jim Bartow, explained the school's policy: "This was a decision made to promote gender equality, not heterosexuality. Having two prom queens would be unfair to the boys. It's got to be equal for both genders, and that's what it's all about."
"We have never nominated couples," he elaborated in an email to the Record Searchlight. "Many times a 'couple' will get chosen as king and queen if the boy gets the most votes and his girlfriend does as well. It does not often happen that way."
TRENDING: Jesse Jackson Announces Health Diagnosis: 'I Will Need Your Prayers'
Bartow noted that that Lack and Waite are each eligible to run for prom queen.
Advertisement - story continues below
The American Civil Liberties Union heard about the lesbian couple's petition and sent a strongly-worded letter to Principal Bartow on Monday contending its prom king/queen policy amounts to unconstitutional discrimination.
Senior ACLU staff attorney Elizabeth Gil writes, "Students have a recognized free expression right to bring same-sex dates to the prom, and that right extends to running for prom king and queen. As a federal court in Mississippi found more than five year ago, 'this expression and communication of her viewpoint [bringing a same- sex date to prom] is the type of speech that falls squarely within the purview of the First Amendment.'"
The attorney goes on the argue that not allowing Lack and Waite to be eligible for prom king and queen hinders their ability to freely express their sexual orientation and discriminates against them because of it.
Gil demanded an answer by Tuesday, May 2. The Foothill prom is on Saturday.

Bartow, in further explaining the school's policy, pointed to Title IX, which states that "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
Clearly two principles under the law are in conflict, the long-standing constitutional protection of not being discriminated against based on one's gender (under the 14th Amendment's "equal protection clause,") and the far more recent legal developments in constitutional and statutory law regarding sexual orientation. If the case were to be litigated, the outcome is not clear.

Women of Expression
09 Mar 2012
On the occasion of International Women´s Day, ARTICLE 19 is sharing a series of initiatives it has undertaken aimed at increasing women's voice in decision-making and in the monitoring of public policies in Brazil.
"ARTICLE 19 is committed to practice what it advocates: freedom of expression for all, across national boundaries, but also across the social, economic, cultural and political barriers that prevent yet too many people from accessing and imparting information, their information. The silencing of women is particularly prevalent. It takes many forms and shapes. It has dramatic implications not only for women's lives but for entire communities. Below is a sample of ARTICLE 19 projects aimed at addressing the silencing of women and strengthening their opportunities to speak out on issues of vital public interest" says Dr. Agnes Callamard, ARTICLE 19 Executive Director.
Today, on, March 9th ARTICLE 19 is launching Women of Expression 2012 – Women adapting to climate change in Brazil.
The threats from climate change are not gender-neutral and it is essential that gender be incorporated into strategies to address climate change. In order to reach adaptation strategies and policies that are truly gender-sensitive, women's voices need to be heard. To make their voices heard, women need information about their rights and the policies that affect their daily lives. This ARTICLE 19 project seeks to foster the exercise of communication rights to challenge women's vulnerability to climate change.
According to Paula Martins, ARTICLE 19's Director for South America, "The project will allow women living in poverty to receive improved information on climate change, especially from official sources. It will also empower women to demand from relevant authorities and decision makers the planning and implementation of adaptation strategies and policies that are gender-sensitive."
In February 2012, ARTICLE 19 initiated the project through a series of workshops with women in rural communities in the north of Brazil. A number of other activities will take place in the upcoming months. ARTICLE 19 will carry out consultations, capacity building, advocacy and dissemination activities with communities significantly challenged by the negative impacts of climate change and special focus will be given to difficulties disproportionally imposed on women.
The next workshops will involve communities living near risky and disaster-prone areas, especially those affected by flooding, droughts, changes in the sea level and landslides - all problems exacerbated by climate change.
To know more about the project and the women involved in climate change research and those who face the most challenging effects of it, visit the Women of Expression.
Knowing your rights and how to exercise them is key for women living in situations of high vulnerability. Information is central to learning about the functioning of the State and how to engage in issues of public interest. The right to information is an instrumental right that can provide women with improved tools to seek justice and equality and to combat violence. The new Brazilian Access to Information Law requires the State to pro-actively provide improved information to women and also allows women to more easily demand information that is not made available voluntarily.
Having this in mind, ARTICLE 19 - in partnership with the Sao Paulo Women's Union and the Dandara Center for Legal Advocates, is developing a training module on how the right to information can be exercised - where, when and how to request information and what to do when information is denied. The module will be part of the Grassroots Legal Advocates programme which offers women with no formal education a comprehensive course of basic legal procedures, notions of constitutional law, human rights including women's rights, and some knowledge of the functioning of the state. They then provide first-hand legal counselling in their communities, normally very poor and violent neighbourhoods in large urban centres all over Brazil.
To know more about the Grassroots Legal Advocates and the Sao Paulo Women's Union, please watch these videos:
30 Anos da União de Mulheres de Sao Paulo
Anjos da Justiça
Lack of or limited information about violence against women can lead to inadequate or deficient public policies in the area, can seriously restrict academic research and studies, as well as compromise the work of women's rights organizations.
The Brazilian Law on Violence against Women (also known as Maria da Penha Law) requires the creation of a nationwide databank on violence against women coordinated by the Ministry for Justice with data collected by each of the 27 Public Prosecutor's Offices in each of the states of the Brazilian Federation. Unfortunately, however, six years after the adoption of Law Maria da Penha there is still no access to such databank and no figures are available on the total of cases of aggression, abuse and threats suffered each year by Brazilian women.
To address this major failure, and contribute to the implementation of the Law on Violence against Women, ARTICLE 19 has presented information requests to all 27 Public Prosecutor's Offices demanding the total number of legal procedures for which the law has been applied, the types of aggression and ensuing key legal developments. The information were requested in electronic format and ensure respect for privacy issues (anonymity of the cases).
Only eleven offices replied to our request, and the vast majority did not respect the legal deadlines. The silent treatment received from the other sixteen provides an idea of the challenges Brazil will now face in the implementation of both Maria da Penha Law and the new Access to Information Law with regard to information needed to prevent and combat violence against women. Most offices that answered the call for information explained that their states do not have a unified system for collecting information on cases of domestic and gender violence and such data is decentralised in databanks maintained by health, police and justice authorities.
To learn more about this problem and discuss possible strategies to modify this situation, please read the full report and contact us with suggestions and/or recommendations.
"The full commitment and resources of governments but also of civil society and the Media around the world is required to counter gender-based censorship. It is not a one day thing. It should not just be the responsibility of one Minister, of one public department, of one single journalist or of women's organizations. The task and challenges are too formidable. They require for all of us, including civil society organizations with a variety of focus and mandates, to make a long-term political and policy commitment to speak up against gender-based censorship and devote resources to end it", concludes Dr. Callamard.

Investigation Assistant of the institutional research: Two Centuries of Mexico-US relationship. A bibliographic and hemerography guide, 1974-2005
The research attempts to involve the history of sports, the mass media and the Olympic Games' studies. It's main scenario will be the XIX Olympiad, Mexico '68. Particularly, it will be focused in the narrative and communicative phenomena that happened through this event. That means the media communication produced in the diaries, television and radio around the games. My personal interest departs from the fact that the Mexican Olympiad was the first global communication satellite broadcasted.
My initial question is how the historical sports events are created? I consider that in order to find answers to this interrogation it is necessary to understand the actors that spread the sporting happenings. In the framework in which the sportive appears as part of the mediated entertainment –a mass media complex—, the creators of the historical sport events are immersed in the dynamics of the mass media. Therefore, I pretend to focus on the reporters, journalists, reporters, narrators and producers as spreaders of speeches and a rhetoric of a given reality.

My home phone number just started working 2 days ago. When I signed up for the plan I was supposed to get free calls to the US, but Amir, who uses the same company, FreeBox, said he is being charged-- it crossed my mind that maybe we would be charged for calls to cell phones? I don't really get it. When I figure it out, I will start making many calls! My number is country code (33) 9 54 09 20 97.
Yesterday morning at work we had a fire drill. Of course, nearly the entire 3rd floor was up in the cafeteria on the 12th floor having our morning coffee break. Apparently they only have one every 2 years, because after walking downstairs and shuffling into the auditorium-- not exactly the safest place to be during a fire as it has only one exit-- we ended up standing around for an hour. The pompiers (firemen) arrived in their splendiferous, spotless outfits and chit-chatted with the IARC fire marshals over a map of fire exits. I was unclear why we needed to be there for an hour, but mostly was a little bit sad I hadn't gotten my coffee 5 minutes earlier.

Snorkeling Tour from Santa Teresa to Isla Tortuga with a stop-over at Montezuma
Overall the trip was amazing. Fast and very splashy boat ride which was super fun. Very friendly crew, ice cold beer and other drinks all day, AMAZING snorkeling spots! The crew also makes sure to stop at certain spots that we wanted to take photos of which I thought was really great!
A few things to improve:
-making sure the tour group leaves on time. we had to wait a good 20 minutes for the rest of the group to get on board and it was a bit frustrating and unfair to those who are paying the same amount and having their tour time cut shorter at the expense of others who are late. Not a good way to start a tour.
-find out what the shoe sizes are upon registration so each guest has the right fitting fins and time isn't wasted looking for fins that fit instead of doing the actual snorkeling :)
-have your crew give a little explanation on safety options and how to snorkel especially for first-timers. I had never been snorkeling before and had no idea that the fins make you float and also wasn't given the option to use a floating device eventhough it was available. It can be quite scary if you don't know what you're doing!
Pura Vida!!!

Widespread Irish bookies, PaddyPower, has demonstrated once again why sport-based betting online remains the strongest gambling outlet within the United Kingdom. Having recently unveiled its figures in its H2 report, the powerhouse bookies belies an "underlying growth" across the business with a total 9% total net revenue year-on-year. But will sports betting continue this growth or has it reached its peak?
If business reports are anything to go by then they can be extremely telling on how well players receive different aspects of the online gambling community at large. In recent years, Paddy Power has seen a 6% yearly increase on constant currency which would tell anyone that sports betting is on the rise, especially when that figure rose to 9% after the Fifa World Cup ended in July 2014.
Indeed, Sportsbook had risen from 5% to 7% in terms of nominal and and constant currency while those booked via Paddy Power's sportsbook increased 21% on a nominal basis and 19% constant currency. However, total revenue of the online of the bookmaker's online business came in at a loss at 3% and 9% while nominal figures decreased from 21% to a mere 19% in terms of current currency.
And that isn't the only tale of woe. Total net revenue from online business arrived at a loss of 3% and 9% for nominal and constant currency whilst nominal sportsbook net revenue dropped to 12%, with constant currency also down by 17%.
So what does this mean? PaddyPower claims the losses are due to the impact of unfavourable sports. What sorts of unfavourable sports, they failed to disclose but we can only guess that there were not so favourable odds out on a few of their featured virtual sports games and has led to a loss of custom and therefore loss of money.
But does this spell the end of online sports betting? Absolutely not! PaddyPower predicts that its full year gross profit will be "mid to high digital percentage increase above 2014". The proposed merger with Betfair might also increase business and therefore make the industry more prosperous. For the time being, though, sports betting online is steadily growing stronger and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

South Africa buys big as Namibia sticks to control
By Lenin Ndebele
THERE WAS revived interest from South Africa during this year's tobacco selling season in Zimbabwe, with the largest regional economy beating its 2015 numbers.
Figures released by the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board of Zimbabwe indicate that the biggest regional market for Zimbabwean tobacco was ranked second globally behind the leading nation, China, up from last year's third when Belgium was the second biggest buyer.
South Africa offered better prices from last year's US$2.89 per kg to US$2.92 in the process increasing their buying from 12 million kilograms to 19 million kilograms in the process knocking Belgium off second position.
As good as it might sound for Zimbabwe's economy, whose tobacco industry is one of the indicators of the successes of the land reform programme, there is reduced interest from countries such as Namibia, Lesotho, and Botswana.
In keeping up with their Tobacco Products Control Act of 2010, Namibia has not been the biggest fan of tobacco.
This year, buyers from Namibia snapped up a mere 11,000 kg worth only US$49,000 from Zimbabwe's tobacco auction floors.
In September, The Zambezi Communal Land Board rejected an application by a Chinese majority owned company, Namibia Oriental Tobacco, to set up a 10,000 hectare tobacco plantation near Katima Mulilo.
Instead, the board only gave the company permission to plant maize, a move that was hailed by the Conference of the Parties (COP) – a World Health Organization governing body.
In Botswana, last week, the Ministry of Health and Wellness' permanent secretary Shenaaz El Halabi, speaking during a public seminar at the University of Botswana, warned that the upcoming legislation on tobacco control would be "aggressive to offenders".

Michigan democratic chair says AG Schuette ignored Flint complaints
LANSING, Mich. (WJBK) - Despite the nine people charged by Attorney General Bill Schuette, Michigan's Democratic Chair is accusing him of ignoring pleas from the public to look into lead fears long before he launched his investigation.
Brandon Dillon said Wednesday that for over a year, Flint residents complained about the color of their water long before it was determined there was lead in the water.
At the end of 2015, attorney general bill Schuette concluded an investigation into the flint water crisis was not required.
However, in June, the Attorney General was asked about any contact he had with his environmental division on the unfolding Flint Water Crisis. As it turns out - there was none. He said he 'did not recall' talking to anyone from the environmental division about Flint.
But two weeks ago, the MIRS newsletter reported that 14 residents had contact Schuette's office in 2015 to complain about the water. Despite the contact, those inquiries did not trigger an investigation.
Schuette's office points out that it receives upwards of 30,000 contacts from the public every year and that the 14 emails never made it up to the man in charge. Dillon said that seems confenient.
"He seems to be ready to hop to it when the camera lights are on but when average citizens and potentially legislatures of another party have an issue, he's nowhere to be found," Dillon said.
Early this year, Schuette reversed his stance based on new media accounts of the crisis and ordered the investigation by hiring outside council Todd Flood. Then in June, Schuette was asked of Flood would be investigating his office as well.
"No reason for it to be (investigated). We're working on those who are responsible for any criminal conduct or any civil conduct ," Schuette said.
Dillon is not ready to call on Flood to investigate Schuette's conduct - yet. He said he would 'see what happens'.

I think we can all agree that John Mayer is probably a major turd in real life.
But I'd like to bring us all back to another time - a time when John Mayer was just a fresh-faced kid who came out of nowhere and made all college-age girls swoon.
That's right, I'm talking about Room for Squares John Mayer.
This is probably one of my favorite songs off of that album - I immediately feel about 20 years old when I hear the opening bars. Honestly - the whole album is pretty fantastic.
So let's just pretend he was always this guy, ok? At least for today.

Sylhet , is a major city in north-eastern Bangladesh. It is the capital of Sylhet Division and Sylhet District, and was granted metropolitan city status in March 2009. Sylhet is located on the banks of the Surma River and is surrounded by the Jaintia, Khasi and Tripura hills. The city has a high population density, with nearly 500,000 people. It is one of the largest cities in Bangladesh. The Sylhet region is well known for its tea gardens and tropical forests, the city however is currently known for its business boom — being one of the richest cities in Bangladesh, with new investments of hotels, shopping malls and luxury housing estates, brought mainly by expatriates living in the United Kingdom.
Historians believe that Sylhet was an expanded commercial center from the ancient period, which explains its original namesake. During this time, Sylhet was probably inhabited by Indo-Aryan Brahmins, though ethnically the population would also have traces of Assamese. It has also been suggested that the Ancient Kingdom of Harikela was situated in modern Sylhet.
Geography and climate
Sylhet city is located at 24°53?30?N 91°53?00?E? / ?24.8917°N 91.8833°E? / 24.8917; 91.8833, in the north eastern region of Bangladesh within the Sylhet Division, within the Sylhet District and Sylhet Sadar Upazila. The climate of Sylhet is tropical monsoon with a predominantly hot and humid summer and a relatively cool winter. The city is within the monsoon climatic zone, with annual average highest temperatures of 23°C (Aug-Oct) and average lowest temperature of 7°C (Jan). Nearly 80% of the annual average rainfall of 3,334 mm occurs between May and September. The city is located within the region where there are hills and basins which constitute one of the most distinctive regions in Bangladesh. The physiography of Sylhet comprises mainly of hill soils, encompassing a few large depressions known locally as "beels" which can be mainly classified as oxbow lakes, caused by tectonic subsidence primarily during the earthquake of 1762. It is flanked by the Indian states of the Meghalaya in the north, Assam in the east, Tripura in the south and the Bangladesh districts of Netrokona, Kishoregonj and Brahmanbaria in the west. The area covered by Sylhet Division is 12,569 km², which is about 8% of the total land area of Bangladesh.
Geologically, the region is complex having diverse sacrificial geomorphology; high topography of Plio-Miocene age such as Khasi and Jaintia hills and small hillocks along the border. At the centre there is a vast low laying flood plain of recent origin with saucer shaped depressions, locally called Haors. Haors, also known as the Sylhet basin, are a wetland ecosystem, which is a natural bowl-shaped depression and mainly can be found in the Sylhet region, in particular also in Sylhet Sadar. Available limestone deposits in different parts of the region suggest that the whole area was under the ocean in the Oligo-Miocene. In the last 150 years three major earthquakes hit the city, at a magnitude of at least 7.5 on the Richter Scale, the last one took place in 1918, although many people are unaware that Sylhet lies on the earthquake prone zone of Bangladesh.
Civic administration
Sylhet consists of 27 wards and 210 mahallas, and has a total area of 26.50 km². During the colonial period, Sylhet experienced rapid growth and expansion of the city. In 1878, Sylhet Municipality was established, it had an area of 10.49 sq km with 5 wards (until 1995) and then 15 wards (in 1996). Sylhet was changed to a city corporation from a municipal board in 2001, and currently the city is administrated by the Sylhet City Corporation. At present, Sylhet is the district-headquarters as well as the divisional headquarters of the districts of Sunamganj, Habibganj, Maulvi Bazar and Sylhet District. The Sylhet City Corporation is responsible for the services that are provided within the city which includes traffic, roads, garbage collection, water supply, registrations and many others. The corporation consists of the Chairman and 22 other Commissioners, and focuses on the development of the city.
A devastating earthquake demolished almost the entire town on 12 June 1897 following which a modern and European model new town was built on the wreckage. Many new roads were constructed in the late 1890s and Sylhet became really connected to the other parts of the country with the establishment of an extension line of Assam-Bengal Railway in 1912-15. From the very beginning of the 20th century, the importance of Sylhet increased with the establishment of the tea industry. In the 1950s and 1960s, rapid urbanisation took place in the town, fostered by the expatriate Sylhetis and the process is still ongoing.
Historical places of Sylhet
The Shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal
Shrine of Saint Hazrat Shah Jalal is the most historical interest in Sylhet town. Today, more than six hundred years after his death, the shrine is visited by innumerable devotees of every caste and creed, who make the journey from far away places. Legend says, the great saint who came from Delhi to preach Islam and defeated the then Hindu Raja (king) Gour Gobinda, transformed the witchcraft followers of the Raja into catfishes which are still alive in the tank adjacent to the shrine Swords, the holy Quran and the robes of the holy saint are still preserved in the shrine.
Temple of Sri Chaitannya Dev
About 500 years old famous about 45 km southeast from Sylhet town. The place is revered from being the ancestral home of the famous Vaishnava saint. Yearly fair is organized on the full moon day of the Bangla month Falgun. Hundreds and thousands of devotees from home and abroad attend this colorful fair.
Shahi Edgah
Three kilometers to the northeast of the circuit house, the Shahi Eidgah was built on a hill by the Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb in the 17th century. It looks like a grade fort but is actually meant for Eid congregation-the two biggest Muslim festivals
Gour Gobinda Fort
The Murarichand Government College is situated in a beautiful surrounding on a hilltop. To the northwest of the college lie the remains of King Gour Govinda's Fort.

On Tuesday we have a full moon/lunar eclipse that has been called the "Blood Moon" and so I was doing some research and found this article and thought it offered some interesting insight.
I found it fascinating that that a big shift in my life happened during the last lunar tetrad (2003-2004) and that made a great deal of sense with the messages and teachings I've been receiving lately and that this is an opportunity for us to make great personal shifts in our lives. This is a window of opportunity to be living more authentically and in your purpose, so tap into this stream of energy and set your intent of what it is you want to create as the next window like this is not until 2032-2033.
The total lunar eclipse will be easily visible throughout the North and South American continents and much of the Pacific Basin, including Hawaii. However, Europe, Africa, and central Asia will miss the entire eclipse because it will be daytime in those regions at the time of the event.
What Time?
According to Nasa, the total lunar eclipse will begin around 2am EDT (7am BST) and will last for around three hours. Ahead of the total lunar eclipse on 15 April, stargazers can view a full moon on 14 April.
Here is an interesting article:
What is a Blood Moon?
Lunar eclipse illustration courtesy of Luc Viatour
The first Blood Moon eclipse in a series of four is coming up on the night of April 14-15, 2014. This total eclipse of the moon will be visible from the Americas. We in astronomy had not heard the term Blood Moon used in quite this way before this year, but now the term is becoming widespread in the media. The origin of the term is religious, at least according to Christian pastor John Hagee, who wrote a 2013 book about Blood Moons.
Meanwhile, both astronomers and some proponents of Christian prophesy are talking about the upcoming lunar tetrad – the series of four total lunar eclipses – beginningon the night of April 14-15.
We at EarthSky don't have any special knowledge about the Blood Moons of Biblical prophesy. But, since they're moons, and since people are asking us, we wanted to provide some info. Follow the links below to learn more about Blood Moons.
A planisphere is virtually indispensable for beginning stargazers. Order your EarthSky planisphere today.
What is a lunar tetrad? Both astronomers and followers of certain Christian pastors are talking about the lunar tetrad of 2014-2015. What is a tetrad? It's four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial lunar eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons)
Blood Moons in Biblical prophecy. We're not experts on prophecy of any kind. But we'll tell you what we know about the new definition for Blood Moon that has raised so many questions recently.
From what we've been able to gather, two Christian pastors, Mark Blitz and John Hagee, use the termBlood Moon to apply to the full moons of the upcoming tetrad – four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial lunar eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons) – in 2014 and 2015. John Hagee appears to have popularized the term in his 2013 book Four Blood Moons: Something is About to Change.
Mark Blitz and John Hagee speak of a lunar tetrad as representing a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. After all, the moon is supposed to turn blood red before the end times, isn't it? As described in Joel 2:31 (Common English Bible):
The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.
That description, by the way, describes both a total solar eclipse and total lunar eclipse. Sun turned to darkness = moon directly between the Earth and sun in a total solar eclipse. Moon turned to blood = Earth directly between the sun and moon, Earth's shadow falling on the moon in a total lunar eclipse.
Dates of Biblical prophecy Blood Moons in 2014 and 2015. These are the dates for the upcomingtetrad – four successive total lunar eclipses – in these years.
Total lunar eclipse: April 14-15
Total lunar eclipse: October 82015:
Total lunar eclipse: April 4
Total lunar eclipse: September 28
There are a total of 8 tetrads in the 21st century (2001 to 2100). But proponents of this Biblical prophecy regard the upcoming tetrad as especially significant because it coincides with two important Jewish holidays: Passover and Tabernacles.
The April 2014 and April 2015 total lunar eclipses align with the feast of Passover. The October 2014 and September 2015 total lunar eclipses align with the feast of Tabernacles.
The Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar. In any year, it's inevitable that a full moon should fall on or near the feasts of Passover (15 Nissan) and Tabernacles (15 Tishri). Nissan and Tishri are the first and seventh months of the Jewish calendar, respectively.
It is somewhat ironic that three of these four lunar eclipses are not visible – even in part – from Israel. The only eclipse that can be seen at all from Israel is the tail end of the September 28, 2015 eclipse, which may be observable for a short while before sunrise.
How common is a tetrad of total lunar eclipses? Depending upon the century in which you live, alunar tetrad (four consecutive total lunar eclipses, spaced at six lunar months apart from one another) may happen fairly frequently – or not at all.
For instance, in our 21st century (2001-2100), there are a total 8 tetrads, but in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, there were none at all. If we include all the centuries from the 1st century (AD 1-100) through the 21st century (2001-2100), inclusive, there are a total of 62 tetrads. The last one occurred in 2003-2004, and the next one after the 2014-2015 tetrad will happen in 2032-2033.

Son of Michael Douglas testifies in NY he was better off in jail than home when first arrested
NEW YORK (AP) ' The imprisoned son of Michael Douglas has testified that he would have been better off staying in jail rather than being freed on bail after he was arrested in New York on drug charges.
Cameron Douglas testified Tuesday at a drug trial in Manhattan federal court. He says he learned the federal prison system treats drug-addicted inmates when they arrive. Instead, he was freed on bail after his arrest in July 2009 for dealing methamphetamine from a high-end Manhattan hotel.
The son of the Oscar-winning actor eventually pleaded guilty to charges and agreed to cooperate in a deal that secured him a five-year prison term.
Douglas was called by the government as part of his deal to testify against a man he claims supplied him with large quantities of drugs.

Unanswered: Arrays issue
Ok, let me see if I can explain this clearly and then I'll copy and paste my current code so it'll be easier to get help.
I have this project. I'm generating a report...and this report absolutely HAS to look a specific way. I know how I'm going to display it (via code due to the way it looks on paper), that's not the problem.
The problem is the arrays I'm trying to create.
I've got this loop that goes through each record in a table. It searches for a specific number in one of the fields that the user enters (to generate the report). What I then plan on doing as it goes through looking for records that match the criteria is to create two arrays (actually more than two, you'll see in a second).
The first array will be a name array with all the contractors in the database whose records match the number requested (a check number). Then what will happen once all the names have been put into the array (no duplicates of course), an array will be made for each person and I will then have all their numbers for the matching records be put in their own array. After that I plan on creating controls based off the arrays to get the report to look the way I want it.
Here's an example. The check number will pull up 18 records based on the ones I have in the table. There's 4 names among those 18 records (some guys have multiple records associated with their name).
I have a default name in there already, so when I tell my array to display, it should come up with 5 names. My problem is I get the default name and then the array goes to the very last record of the 18 records, takes that person's name and has it appear 18 times.
My message box should only pop up like 5 times. I'm having it pop up in a message box so I can see if it's reading the array right before I start creating the arrays with their money amounts.
If my question or request for help isn't clear enough, then please let me know. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm sure this is something simple. And if my strategy for getting from point A to point B is way too time consuming and there's an easier way, then please let me know. This seems to be the easiest way to do it to me.

I am not any where near convinced this is the best way of doing this, (for instance why don't you create a record set with only records where result = strinput ?).
Having said that, the code posted maybe should have this line
name = DLookup("contractor", "invoicedata", "result.value = [Check #]")
modified as this
name = DLookup("contractor", "invoicedata", "result = " & strinput)
note: if 'result' is a text field then it should be
name = DLookup("contractor", "invoicedata", "result = '" & strinput & "'")
The more I look this the more I am sure there is a better way.
Just some of the questions that spring to mind.
Is the 'recdataentry' record set based on a different table than the table used in the DLooup (ie invoicedata).
If so and they are related (by [Check #]?) then you should be able to produce the required Names list with a single query ? (and maybe you would not need an array!).
You will gather from this that perhaps a little more info would be beneficial!

sounds a very odd user requirement... are you certain this cannot be done as part of the base query.
iterating through recordsets is slow and costly.I'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Because of my new-found interest in Polish history, I bought the Polish film "Katyn" on DVD and just watched it this afternoon. It is very powerful and brutal, especially at the end where the film presents the massacre of some of the 22,000 Polish officers, professors and doctors and other members of the Polish intelligentsia. It's just relentless. The massacre was carried out at the order of Beria's NKVD, although the Soviets blamed the Nazis.
It also portrays the measures taken by the Soviets against Poles who refused to accept the idea that the massacre was committed by the Nazis.
The truth about the massacre was not revealed until 1990.

Thank you so much for posting this, it's of great interest in preparation for our visit to Poland this fall. Actually it would be of interest anyway and I see it has an Oscar nomination. We'll be watching it later this week.
For anyone interested, it is also available on Hulu.

limmy: (Did I get that name right?) I have been reading a book about Poland called "Heart of Europe: Poland's Past in its Present." It's quite long--almost 500 pages--but it's very informative and also fascinating. There are some sections that are a bit too "informative"--You could call those parts "dry," but in general, I'm really enjoying it.
After I returned from my trip in July, I also read Alan Furst's novel "The Polish Officer." It revealed something of Poland's spirit to me. I recommend it also.
Where are you going in Poland? I went to Gdansk, to Torun, and to Warsaw. Also to a little place called Ketrzyn, which was a steppingstone to Hitler's Wolf's Lair.
I pan on going back to Warsaw next year because I didn't see everything I wanted to see.

Thanks for the recommendation, sometimes I have trouble with a lot of brutal war films, but I put that on my Netflix list.
I suppose you saw that film Ida, about a girl in Poland hidden (in a Catholic orphanage) during WWII who thinks of becoming a nun? It won the Academy Award for foreign film and got very good reviews, although I'll admit it wasn't top notch for me. I think sometimes I need films with a little more action to pay attention or something. But lots of others liked it. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/ida-a-film-masterpiece
I may go back to Poland next year, but I've only been to Krakow and Wroclaw, which I loved.

How did you communicate in Poland?
English..German..Polish. ??
I have never been, but thinking about it
Report Abuse
I communicated in English, except for once in Torun at the bus station. I asked if anyone spoke English and then if anyone spoke Deutsch. A man spoke German and was able to give me the information I needed.
I was expecting to use German more, but aside from that time and also tagging along on a German-speaking tour at the Wolf's Lair, that was it.
Oh, and once in Spanish, believe it or not. I was at the bus station in Gdansk and wasn't sure I was in the right place. There was kind a scruffy guy sitting on the next bench. I asked, "Do you speak English?" No. "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" "No." Just for the heck of it, I said, "Habla Ud.Español?" and he said, "Un poco." He said he'd studied it in school.
I really got a kick out of that.

Christina: Thanks for the info. There wasn't really a lot of blood and gore in the film, except that at the end where you get a picture of how they killed so many people.
There's violence but not gratuitous violence.

After reading about the film on your previous post, I found "Katyn" on youtube. I watched it over the weekend.

I watched this movie before I went to Poland in 2013. I had never heard of this incident, so it was eye-opening to me.
danon, it's easy to get around tourist Poland in English. Any Polish you learn will be be appreciated though.
Christina, I felt the same way about Ida. I'd put Katyn at the same level (as cinema) perhaps a bit more gripping. But it's very interesting.
Report Abuse
There was a tragic subsequent event: in 2010, a Polish Air Force plane carrying politicians and senior officials, crashed on approach to Smolensk. They were on their way to a ceremony marking the anniversary of the Katyn massacre.
All on board were killed, including the President of Poland.
Danon, like Leely and Peontheroad, I found I could communicate pretty much everywhere in English. (I'll confess, though, that I was travelling with my wife, who was born in Poland. She moved to Canada when she was seven, and continued to speak Polish at home, so she handled most of our interactions.)
Peg, knowing your interest in history, I might mention God's Playground — A History of Poland by Norman Davies. My historian brother-in-law passed it to me, saying it was excellent, but I haven't yet read it.

thanks AA , Leely
I took Russian for three months before this summer's trip to SP and
Moscow. It was not absolutely necessary but I was glad I did.
If I decided to go, I would try to learn a bit of Polish .

Peg, we watched Katyn last night, very powerful and eye opening for us. I did not know anything about this incident prior to this thread. We are going to Warsaw (2-3 nights and Krakow (4 nights) before moving on to Budapest.
We do plan on visiting more of Poland in the future during the mild weather months (I loved your Eastern Europe report and filed that away as a future trip as well). My husband is Polish on one side and we are from an area with a strong Polish community so there has always been a feeling of kinship. We are also interested in WW2 and the Cold War, particularly my husband. Thank you for the book suggestions, I'll check them out.
I really liked the movie Ida. It was slow and subtle but I happened to be in just the right mood for it when I watched it, otherwise it might have been difficult for me to really latch on to it.
Anselm - I knew about that plane crash but never knew about the Katyn connection and wow is that just so tragic.

Anselm: I've been thinking about getting "God's Playground..." Today I loaded a history of the Baltic nations on my kindle. I think I'll see if I can get "God's Playground" from Abebooks. I can usually get anything there for under $5, including shipping and postage.
One of the things I learned about the Poles is how important their literature, specifically their poetry, is to them. The poem on the monument to the workers outside the Solidarity museum really touched me.
"You who wronged a simple man..."
and then the last part
"Do not feel safe. The poet remembers.
You can slay him, but another is always born.
The words are written down, the deed, the date.
You could have done better with a winter's dawn,
And a rope, and a branch bent down beneath your weight."
The poem haunted me, and I had to find it again. I love poetry, so it is another linke with me and the Poles.
Report Abuse
The truth about the massacre was known by Churchill and Roosevelt in 1943 and proven by U.S. Govt investigations by 1953. The USSR did not admit fault till 1990.
I read a book in the 70s called "Katyn: A Crime Unparalleled" although it is no longer in print.
Report Abuse
Peg, Abebooks would be perfect for picking up a copy. I have always been able to find older publications through them. (By the way, my copy is in two volumes, so that might up the shipping costs a bit.)
That is indeed heartfelt poetry.
