On the basis of a language proficiency study initiated by the European Commission, Estonian schoolchildren's command of English was the fourth best among the 14 countries that took part in the study; command of the other tested language, German, was poorer among Estonian young people, and they remained seventh in the study.
The study confirmed that Estonian schoolchildren's command of their first foreign language was at a good level, Tõnu Teder, adviser at the language department of the Ministry of Education and Research, told reporters. "But it is necessary to think how to improve the study of a second foreign language, because there is still a lot of room for development there," Tender added.
In addition to the command of a language, the study also examined some aspects of language learning. It was confirmed, for example, that learning a foreign language as early as possible would ensure better command of the language. Students who feel the need to learn a language achieve better results than students whose attitude to learning a language is reluctant. A somewhat surprising conclusion from the study was that independent use of a computer for language learning exercised a negative influence on the command of a language.

Linen and Lace Summer Scarf
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Scarves aren't just for fall and winter -- a lace-trimmed linen scarf is the perfect accessory for warmer weather. If you want to add a touch of color to your summer fashion, this easy-to-make scarf from Jenya of MyEvaForeva fits the bill.
- Good quality pure linen, 1-1/2 to 2 yds. x 50" to 60" wide
- Flat lace, 2-7/8 to 3-3/8 yds.
- Sewing machine
- Serger (optional)
- Thread
- Scissors
- Serge the shorter edges and use a fancy picot edging stitch on longer sides. If you don't have a serger you can use your sewing machine and do a running stitch on a narrow folded edge.
- Attach the lace to your shorter edges using a sewing machine. To secure exposed sides of the lace trim I just used a zig-zag stitch.
- Now submerge the whole scarf in cool water and them squeeze the water out. Let the scarf dry a bit. When it's still slightly wet twist it really well like shown below and let it dry completely. Once it's dry, open it up and give it a good shake.

This is a great idea for people (like me) who live in hot countries and need sun protection of the neck and decolletege while keeping cool. I like this scarf and will try to make it. It could be used as a wrap for cooler summer evenings as well.
Too....too bulky. 58-60" wide? 2 yds long? I'm a fan of skinny scarves. This looks more like a blanket of some sort.

This time of year is a favorite for children of all ages – I happen to be one of these kids – in part because of the television programs that are shown around Christmas.
A Charlie Brown Christmas, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, have been favorites of mine since TV went from exclusively black and white to poor quality color. This is no coincidence as these programs were made in the mid 1960's.
As I was watching this year, it occurred to me that if at this time in history Christmas had not yet been established, if somehow Christmas needed to be "started" in 2009, it wouldn't stand a chance. Christmas would be doomed before it ever got started.
First of all, the only time you can say Jesus Christ anymore is when you hit your thumb with a hammer.
You can't mention Him at City Hall, you can't display a crèche at the Court House, it's at least passé, and at most completely offensive, to pray in Jesus' name except at a Nascar race south of the Mason Dixon line, and the President would incur enormous wrath from the press if he dared mention the Savior's name in anyway other than passing or pandering for political gain – not that we have to worry about the current president properly and appropriately speaking the name of Jesus.
You can say "what the hell" on TV and if there is a "goddammit" in the movie it isn't bleeped out. Interestingly enough you can also say the word "shit" without consequence. However, Jesus Christ, the standard for when time crosses from BC to AD is spoken of as a myth, as a constant source of ridicule, or feared so greatly that His name is not permitted to be spoken if it crosses the non-existent, yet simultaneously ambiguous, standard/line of "separation of church and state". Apparently the goal is to take Jesus Christ completely out of Christmas. It seems pretty clear that removing Christ from Christmas leaves only a word that Roberto Duran understands. Remember when he quit in his fight against Sugar Ray Leonard by repeating, "No mas, No mas"? Maybe Roberto's cry is really the goal – the complete elimination of Christmas, period.
Secondly, the baby Claus wouldn't be born today. He would have been aborted by the mother who would see him as a choice and not a life. Maybe she would have gone for "tax free family planning" services as soon as she learned she was pregnant, or perhaps she would have been immediately uncertain about what to do, and waited to have a late term abortion without her parents consent. It is clear that she would have never left the red-headed Claus on the doorstep of the Kringle's to be found, reared, and trained to make an enormous difference in so many children's lives.
Since the baby who became Kris Kringle never would have been born, it really makes no difference, but the elf family the Kringle's, never would have had a toy factory either. If these less than perfect children avoided the abortion doctor's "treatment" and actually grew to be adults, the system would have cast them as victims due to their "disability" and they would have been "counseled" to be self indulgent louts living off the legal settlement that a "highly respected" trial lawyer was able to extract from the physician who made a tragic mistake during the their delivery that caused them to be, not elves, but "little people". Forget moving to the North Pole and setting out to build toys for children who would watch out, choose to be good, and nice, instead of crying, pouting and being bad. Of course, you can't speak about a child as being bad, or even as misbehaving anymore – that would "ruin his self esteem".
Charlie Brown doesn't fare quite as well, but he does live a "dignified" life. Shortly after his diagnosis, he is allowed to miss work indefinitely, with government mandated pay of course, because of his mental "disease". His company pays for his "treatment" (just like any other illness) for twelve years but "falsely" and unfairly accuses him goldbricking and stops paying. Health care reform kicks in and at age 50 he enters Medicare and government support, never working again. Having seen all the episodes of Married with Children, he is asked by Lucy to be the director of the holiday play, but declines when he learns that a "holiday play" has absolutely no point (except to avoid "offending" anyone with any mention of Jesus Christ). He never buys a "nice little tree", and never sees it decorated - all on account of rainforest concerns about cutting down trees grown specifically for decoration. Charlie remains a blockhead until a government death "counselor" suggests that his constant back pain, as a result of kicking footballs, and the costs of treating his condition, could end. Charlie takes his own life after outliving his usefulness and his government capped health insurance cost threshold, at age 79.
Well, there you have it. Be thankful for Christmas. Be grateful that the meaning of Christmas began 2000 years ago, and that the celebration of Christmas started shortly thereafter. If Christmas needed to be started today, in this cultural, legal, and government environment, there'd be no reason to hope or for hope, because you couldn't get Christmas started today.
Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Can call centers hang up the phones for good? Intuitive Solutions did. WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

Police arrest man in gang-related shooting on North Ash
Police have made one arrest in a recent gang-related shooting but are still looking for a second suspect.
Records show a 19-year-old man was arrested late Friday morning in the 2200 block of South Glendale and booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a felon. Lt. Scott Heimerman confirmed the arrest was connected to the shooting of an 18-year-old man at a house in the 2600 block of North Ash on Aug. 20.
An 18-year-old man was shot twice – once in the right elbow and once in the upper right thigh – shortly before 5:30 p.m. last Tuesday, police have said. He was taken to Wesley Medical Center for treatment and has since been released.
There were four other people in the house at the time of the shooting, according to a police report on the incident, but no other injuries were reported.
Police are still looking for a 16-year-old boy in connection with the shooting, Heimerman said. Investigators are convinced more than one person fired shots into the house.
"There were several rounds fired into the house," Heimerman said.
While he wouldn't divulge whether forensics confirmed multiple guns being used in the assault, Heimerman said two shooters is the most likely scenario "just by the sheer number" of shots fired.
The shooting appears to be an escalation of an ongoing feud between rival gangs that stretches back at least five months, Heimerman said.

Poison Sumac Legal to Share Seeds?
I have poison sumac in my yard, and while I have a healthy respect for it as a dangerous plant, IÂm also a bit attached to the darn thing. If you want to read the whole story, I posted about it over in the New England section. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/neweng/msg021310307824.html?4
I am reposting this over here, because I have one unanswered question: this plant is listed as a Noxious Weed, but it is also, from what I understand, a somewhat rare native. Would it be legal for me to offer its seeds to others within its native growing area?
(I donÂt plan to hand out the seeds to just anyone, by the way. I know how dangerous this plant is!)
It is a native plant and I find it hard to believe that you could be forced to limit a native plant within it's native range. I can understand restricting it outside of the native range. I found an interesting Michigan site that has declared a noxious weed ordinance on both poison ivy and poison sumac ... despite the fact that the USDA Plants Database lists these as native to Michigan:
It shall be the duty of all owners of land upon which weeds, as defined in this ordinance, are growing ... To destroy said weeds before they reach a seed-bearing stage, and to prevent said weeds from perpetuating themselves and from becoming a detriment to public health.
Here is a link that might be useful: Michigan article
Thanks for your replies, esh and ncrescue. It seems poison sumac is potentially in a very strange legal loophole! I did find that the USDA site had a link to information on poison sumac cultivation:
I may get in touch with the author. . .
"I found an interesting Michigan site that has declared a noxious weed ordinance on both poison ivy and poison sumac ... despite the fact that the USDA Plants Database lists these as native to Michigan:"
"It shall be the duty of all owners of land upon which weeds, as defined in this ordinance, are growing ... To destroy said weeds before they reach a seed-bearing stage, and to prevent said weeds from perpetuating themselves and from becoming a detriment to public health."
The Michigan article link is to a site suggesting how a township might want to word a noxious weed ordinance. It is not an actual ordinance. It is intended as a template for townships to use. The end of the article indicates even if used word for word it may not be what the township needs, anyway.
It would be hard to find a yard in Michigan that has not had wild carrot or ragweed (other listed weeds) in it at some time within the past 5 years. Places that might impose laws against them would be communities where everyone buys into the Chemlawn mindset, grass and grass only, no matter the work or cost. And there are a few subdivisions like that. But it is not the norm.
Michigan has poison ivy all over the place. Seeds will constantly be brought in if you have natural areas anywhere nearby. Some subdivisions, homeowners associations, etc. have covenants requiring all types of things...No cars in the drive over 2 hours, no open garage doors over 5 minutes, etc. Some include no veggie gardens, no pools, etc. in them. I wouldn't be surprised if some require no "weeds" in the yard, including poison ivy.....but most of us in Michigan do not live in such areas. And the few people I know who do, find not all of the "rules" are enforced. They are mainly there to use if there is a problem neighbor in the area....grossly unkept lawn, junk all over, etc.
I have only seen poison sumac in or very near certain types of wetlands. I'm curious to know if it would even grow for most people. It does not spread like poison ivy which grows most anywhere. And I know of two school owned nature centers that have poison sumac along bog boardwalks that students regularly use. They are told about the plant, and it is accepted as part of the natural plant community of the area. The only time the plants are bothered is when they begin to grow over the walkways. Then they are just trimmed to be about 3 feet from the walkway. I walked through one of the areas about 3 times a week for 8 years with school children and did not have problems.
Seems like people could grow poison sumac if they wanted as long as it wasn't in a public area, ie. hanging over your front sidewalk. I agree, it has it merits. The fall colors are beautiful and many birds love the fruit. In fact, maybe the one growing in your yard ended up there because a bird "planted" it...fertilized it, too. And how were you to know what it was?
Interesting thread,
Ethically speaking I would only give seeds to someone who is a serious native plants collector and has a suitable environment. I'm thinking a large parcel of property where contact by other humans (especially children and pets) would be very limited or unlikely. I'd be more or less inclined to suggest they create a barrier like chicken wire around it as well.
Same can be said for water hemlock (very deadly) and even Monkshood which is commonly sold in garden centers. Beautiful but deadly.
Thank you Naturegirl and Gonativegal! Indeed, I would only consider giving poison sumac seeds to someone who had a real botanical interest in the plant.
Naturegirl, thatÂs a great story about the school-owned wetlands! I did some more looking around today, and discovered more poison sumac in another mostly-inaccessible part of my property. IÂm excited that it seems to be such a normal part of the landscape here, and that it does seem to stick to places too mucky for people.
I'd be very interested in growing Poison Sumac. I would like to investigate the essential oil produced by this and other varieties of "noxious" weeds. The essential oil produced by these plants is potentially very interesting from a flavor and fragrance point of view. These plants have never been adequately studied and may yield some unique materials. If we can produce Bitter Almond Oil and remove the hydrocyanic acid (a deadly cyanide compound) and use the remaining oil as a natural source of benzaldehyde used in flavors, I'm confident I can remove the urushiols and possibly discover new and exciting compounds, though with my luck I'd probably wind up concentrating some even more toxic components and itch for months. :-)

Snowboarding day 2
Having been late the day before I decided to go faster on the morning run across the mountain from Schlossalm to Angertal, I said "see you down there" to Garry, hit the road and didn't see him down there.

NEW YORK - In a career that has included drunk pirates and a scissor-handed recluse, Johnny Depp says the strangest scene he's ever filmed is a simple flashback in 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.'The movie is the sixth collaboration for Depp and director Tim Burton - and one of their riskiest. It's based on Stephen Sondheim's bloody Broadway musical about a murderous barber, and Depp had scant singing experience. But it wasn't the singing that scared Depp - or any of his character's numerous gory murders. It was a flashback to young Sweeney's happy life before he was sent to prison by Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman). It's arguably the most normal scene in the movie, and both Depp and Burton could hardly stomach it. 'I think that was the weirdest thing I ever had to shoot,' Depp told The Associated Press in a recent interview. '(Burton) literally was sobbing. He left the set of his own movie.' Burton said the extreme melodrama of the scene was difficult to watch. 'That's when I knew (Depp) was a great actor, because that was terrible,' the 49-year-old director said. 'That was so bad.' Depp, star of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films and 'Edward Scissorhands,' has received rave reviews for his performance, and Burton wonders if the 44-year-old actor will look back in later years and cringe at the young Sweeney flashback. 'That and having to soap up Alan Rickman's face were two of the scariest moments, maybe of my life,' joked Depp. For some reason, Burton explained, preparing Rickman's character for a shave was 'quite a traumatic experience' for Depp.

I don't really know how to finish that sentence, but you get the general idea.
It's not that I'm actually intentionally procrastinating -- do people do that? -- but I'm fairly unfocused and my days feel pretty short lately due to fatigue and pain.
I seem to only be getting things done that absolutely must be done. I have good intentions, but I just get distracted way too easily.
Not that everyone doesn't have that problem, at least some of the time. We all have too many balls we're trying to keep juggling without dropping anything.
Thanks so much to those who have sent contributions for tomorrow's edition of Patients For A Moment. I'm sorry to say I won't have it up as early as I'd like, but please come back tomorrow evening to check it out!

White Wines To Get You Inspired For Spring!FILED UNDER: Buying & Choosing Wine, White Wine
In the wake of one of the coldest winters in recent memory (at least here in New York City at Bordeaux HQ), we're drooling at the bits for some much needed sunshine. Warmer temps mean picnics, parks and fresh, vibrant produce. It also heralds the unofficial start of white wine season. For some, that particular season never ends. But given red and white wines' inherent characteristics and pairing profiles, its understandable that some have a seasonal preference when it comes to wine.
Scenes From The Vineyard Spring Edition: Trellising GrapevinesFILED UNDER: Know Your Bordeaux, Viticulture
Last month, we introduced you to the type of work and maintenance happening in the vineyard during the winter months. While winter lays the groundwork for the upcoming vintage, the story really begins to unfurl when spring arrives. As the snow melts, vintners begin to prepare for arguably the most important season of the vine-growing life cycle.
Bordeaux Wines Is The Official Wine Sponsor of Harlem EatUp!FILED UNDER: Bordeaux events
We're thrilled to announce that Bordeaux Wines' will be the official wine sponsor of the inaugural Harlem Eatup! Festival. The four day event, founded by Celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelsson and veteran event producer, Herb Karlitz and supported by Harlem ambassadors like President Bill Clinton, will celebrate the food, culture and spirit of the historic neighborhood of Harlem. While Harlem and Bordeaux are thousands of miles apart, they both represent a rich and dynamic history that is reflected in the food, wine, culture and arts you see today.
As part of our involvement in the event, we will provided distinct wine pairings for the festival's Dine In Harlem events – a one-night only dining experience at select local Harlem Restaurants including The Cecil, Ginny's Supper Club, Dinosaur BBQ and Jin Ramen. Celebrated Chefs from across the country including Jonathan Waxman (Barbuto), Sean Brock (Husk), Paul Qui (Qui) and Ludo Lefebvre (Trois Mec) will collaborate with participating Harlem area restaurants on a menu for a one night residency. Each course will be expertly paired with a delicious and affordable red, white and / or sweet Bordeaux wine that will reflect the versatility and accessibility of our wines with the wide range of cuisines represented at Dine In Harlem.
Additionally, you'll find us at the weekend's Grand Tasting in beautiful Morningside Park where food vendors from across the neighborhood will offer their unique fare alongside music and dance performances and art exhibitions from local artists. Attendees will have the opportunity to pair the diverse cuisine of the area with unexpected wine pairings from our region.
For tickets, visit the Harlem Eatup! website or sign up for our newsletter for upcoming opportunities to win tickets!
Celebrate Chinese New Year With White BordeauxFILED UNDER: Food and Wine Recipes, Holidays
When it comes to Chinese cuisine, wine isn't necessarily top of mind as a drink to pair with. But, the reality is there are flavor profiles in both food and beverage that make the two an unlikely yet perfect fit. Specifically, the white grape varieties and styles found in Bordeaux make for a nice complement to some signature Chinese cuisine.

Klaus Knopper answers your Linux questions
Quite a few Xorg versions ago, you had to regenerate directory caches and let the X server rescan the entire font list.
For scalable TrueType fonts, the installation has become a lot less complex since client programs handling TrueType fonts do most of the work themselves through dynamically linked font-rendering libraries.
Although this means less installation work for you, it also means a slightly slower startup time for programs handling fonts, like GIMP or LibreOffice (Figure 1).
To install custom TrueType fonts, it's practical to create a new per-fontset directory – or at least add one extra directory to hold your fonts.
sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/extra
Now, to make a new font available system-wide, you can just copy the
.ttf file there:
sudo cp fontfile.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/extra/
Make sure it's readable for everyone,
sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/extra sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/extra/fontfile.ttf
and then you're done. :-)
Alternatively, you can check your distribution's package manager for font packages containing free and contributed fonts available for installation.
To check to see whether a program is capable of using TrueType fonts, list its dynamic libraries and look for "freetype" and "font" (Listing 1).
Listing 1
Finding TrueType Fonts
$ ldd /usr/bin/gimp | grep -E 'font|freetype' libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 (0xf6e28000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xf6de8000)
Libfreetype is a TrueType-compatible open source library for rendering TrueType fonts in an application, and
libfontconfig lets the program know how to identify a font by name and find a requested font in the filesystem.
Browser Settings in Knoppix 7.2.0 Paranoid?
Hello, I noticed you are again using the advertisement blocker AdBlockPlus, and also NoScript in a setting that blocks all active contents like JavaScript by default in Firefox on Knoppix 7.2.0.
Isn't that somewhat paranoid? Being a Linux user, there are not so many viruses around that could infect my computer over a website. And, many websites don't work right – shopping and travelling sites especially don't display real-time search results. The first thing I do is select "allow scripts globally (not recommended)." Why do you make things so complicated in Knoppix? Other distros just deliver Firefox with no security plugins installed or enabled, and leave it to the user to add more security stuff.
You are right, the security policy of Knoppix is somewhat more restrictive than other Live systems. In general, the Knoppix philosophy is:
- Don't run any servers and services that are accessible from the Internet, unless the user explicitly requests so.
- Don't use any Internet services and don't transmit any personal data to websites unless the user requests so.
The reason for blocking active content by default is, of course, that an unknown website might contain malicious content that could exploit weaknesses of your browser or trick you into being on a different website, reading your keyboard to obtain passwords or taking screenshots to spy out your desktop.
Even though just a few websites might successfully steal passwords from your computer without your noticing, is it worthwhile to take the chance, rather than investing just a single click on each of your favorite websites to allow active content?
Linux might not be affected by the majority of malware around, but it's still possible to compromise your browser via "cross-site scripting" attacks. And, if you do important stuff with your browser like money transactions or accessing protected websites with your personal data, you don't want others stealing your identity. Therefore, I recommend leaving the default enabled for NoScript and just adding your favorite websites, one by one, to the exception list, to always stay on the safe side. I don't think this is paranoid; I'd call it just being careful. :-) With the NoScript settings for Firefox restricted by default, I can recommend Knoppix with good confidence for online banking and secure access to many websites.
Blocking advertisements with AdBlockPlus is a somewhat "political" issue. On one hand, I perfectly understand that advertisers want to make money by counting clicks or boost the popularity of products. On the other hand, some websites are overloaded with advertisements, and some ads actually consume more bandwidth than the informational part of the page, or cause bad rendering of the page.
When using the web, I want to read information and identify links and locations accurately. But, on some sites, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between the real content and advertisements on a page. If you've ever tried to find the correct download button on a website that offers a product, yet also advertises 10 other products for download, you know what I'm talking about. For shopping on the web, however, the attitude may be different; you might want to switch off AdBlockPlus then.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
18 Oct 2012 09:53 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Cuba, Uruguay
Uruguay's senate has voted to legalise first-trimester abortions for all women in a groundbreaking measure that has left those backing the move and those against it unsatisfied.Jose Mujica, the president, was expected to quickly sign the measure into law on Thursday after senators voted 17-14 to back the legislation, which has already passed the lower house. The legislation establishes that the public health care system must guarantee every woman the freedom to decide without pressure whether or not to have an abortion.The measure is a big step for Latin America, where only Cuba grants all women the right to abortions. But it comes with so many conditions that both sides wonder how Uruguay will make it work.
Among other things, a clear declaration that "every adult woman has the right to decide whether to end her pregnancy during the first 12 weeks of gestation" was dropped in order to get enough votes for passage.
In its place, legislators agreed to 10 pages of fine print intended to bring about the same results."It's not the best law,and not the solution we wanted, but it's an advance," said senator Luis Gallo, a supporter and member of the ruling Broad Front coalition. Women who decide to get abortions can now avoid the "humiliating secrecy" of illegal abortions, he argued.Muted reaction
All the ruling Broad Front coalition's senators voted in favour, joined by one member of the opposition, Jorge Saravia of the centre-right National Party.
The immediate reaction to the vote was muted since the result had been expected.A small group of abortion right activists hailed the passage of the legislation after Danilo Astori, the senate's president, declared it had been passed.There were no street protests, just a blast of fresh anti-abortion graffiti painted overnight on the sidewalks outside parliament.
"It's a huge step," ruling coalition senator Rafael Michelini said, adding that women will now no longer have to ask the state for permission. "The woman who decides to have an abortion does it."
There are no firm estimates for how many women have obtained abortions illegally in Uruguay. Thousands were ending up in hospitals with complications each year until the government made morning-after pills widely available. Ruling party politicians said reducing dangers from illegal abortions was their primary motivation.
Polls approve
Opponents vowed to overturn the measure, either through a popular referendum or by defeating the Broad Front government in the next presidential elections.
"This project is an attack on life and that's why we have voted against it. If we win power in the 2014 elections, we'll seek to overturn it," National Party senator Jorge Larranaga said after the vote.
Recent polls have suggested that a majority of Uruguay's 3.3 million people favour decriminalising abortion, as this law accomplishes.
Uruguay's measure decriminalises abortions for women who follow the new rules, but also explicitly says that women who break the rules will not face jail time.
However, anyone who helps women obtain abortions outside the margins of the new law would face up to two years in jail.

Okay so I made a replica of the Bruery Tart Of Darkness from morebeer I mash at 157 to leave some complex sugars for the bret and pitched the roeselare at 65F and let it free rise to 68F during primary. Once the primary was dying down after a week and a half I let the temp rise to mid 70's to let the bret take over.
SO the ? The primary yeast stopped at 1.035 after 2 weeks in the mid 70's it has only fallen to 1.030. The starting gravity was 1.076. Should I have pitched 2 bags. I know you are not supposed to make a starter with it. Do you think the brett will take it down to final gravity before the bacteria drop the ph enough to kill the brett. Or should i add more brett to build the cell count to give it more of a chance.
Just leave it alone for 11 more months, the Brett will take care of you
It probably stopped there, or rather slowed there, because of the high mash temp. Over time the 2 Brett strains, the Pedio and the Lacto will eat that down drier than your grandma's hooha.
There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?
The reason I asked was I have never used a mixed culture. I usually mash at 158-159 use a belgian yeast most of the time abbey ale yeast wich on my last sour had gravity down 1.017 in 5 days then i cold crash to get it of most of the ale yeast let it come back up to temp and pitch 1 or 2 strains of brett let that go for upwards of 10 weeks then pitch bacteria culture. When I do 100% Brett beers I usually pich high ale to lager pitching rates so I didn't think it would have high enough cell count to finsh at this high of a gravity. Butt I over think alot so it might just be me.

Five digital marketing strategies that will lead to ROI
If you're struggling to decide on a course of action for your online marketing campaign, I understand the frustration.
Navigating the digital world can be an immense challenge, especially because of the rate at which everything changes. There are times when you probably think to yourself, "Forget it. I'm just going to sit by my phone and wait for customers to call." Unfortunately, the days of building up your base exclusively with offline methods are over.
Eighty-five percent of incoming phone leads are due to an online presence.
The beauty of online marketing is that if other companies have tried a technique, there are ways to measure precisely how effective it's been. You don't have to think of a completely innovative strategy on your own - just go with the ones that have proven to be successful.

How to handle a seed pod
I thought there were special pollinators for brugs that we don't have so I never expected to see any seed pods. I cut one off when I was getting cuttings ready to send out.
Will it mature off the plant ?
I have one left on my Equador White.
How long does it take to open ?
Do I need to let it open fully before I remove it, ?
I was planning on putting panty hose material around it.
Any thing else I need to do to make sure the seeds are viable ?
Thanks Robert
Bees or even gnats can pollinate brugmansia, the one you cut off will not continue to grow. They do not open up by themselves but they will eventually drop of the stem if left to themselves. The pods mature fairly quickly in Florida compared to the northern states, I pick mine when the pod starts to get soft and the stem holding it turns brown, it seems that mine ripen in 2 - 3 months. When they are ripe open them up and let them dry out on a paper plate before storing them. The sooner you plant them the faster they will germinate. Hope this helps.

Oak tree dead or shocked?
Dianne.1950June 1, 2013
We had a very large oak tree prunned in the fall, now it is not showing any signs of growth. I have been told they trimmed it to close and it is dead to if under the bark is still green the tree may have been shocked and will return next spring? Help, I do not want to lose this tree, but I don't want a dead tree in my front lawn.
lycopus(z5 NY)
Oak trees are not even close to being the slowest growing trees on planet earth. Some species of oak can grow very fast, particularly those in the red oak group.
Regarding the OP, pics of the pruning job might help us determine how bad the situation is. When you say it is showing no signs of growth do you mean that it hasn't put out any leaves yet?

Keep Cat Out of Yard
I have a neighborhood cat that torments our indoor cat and would like to keep this tormentor at the perimeter. Are there any specific plants for the S. California zone that would keep cats at bay? I appreciate your help! Darlene Chamberlin
Sorry, there are no plants that will keep cats, or any other animals at bay. You can try planting some barrier plants with thorns if you have room, but otherwise there are none that have a natural repellent built in. There are, however, cat repellents you can buy in spray form at garden centers and places such as Home Depot. Liquid Fence sells a cat/dog repellent that might work for you.

This is a great looking chair and appears to be well made. It is comfortable for a low back chair. If you prefer a high back chair, this is not for you. I got a pair of the chairs for the living room and an Art Deco motif and they work just great. The living room is not used a lot so I placed looks over comfort. I needed low back chairs because the room is small. 5 stars for style and form, 4 stars for comfort.
I have been looking for a couch or chairs with metal to discourage my cats from ripping up the upolstery. I am also fond of art deco/steampunk/arts and craft style furnishings. I kept looking at this chair for a few months and then decided to get two. They look fantastic, are comfortable (I haven't sat on one for hours so don't know about that.). They sit fairly close to the floor, low slung. I am 5'6" and my feet hit the ground the same as a regular chair. My arms arm comfortable on the high arms. They come fully assembled, very well packed and arrived in two days. Couldn't be happpier!
This chair popped up as a recommendation while we were picking out a couch and as soon as I saw it, I needed it. It got here in 1 day (we live in the same state as overstock.com, I think) and all I had to do was open the box and slide it out. This chair is awesome. Definitely the coolest chair we've ever owned. I love the metal sides and screws. The quality is great and I really like the way the chair feels.
This chair looks really cool. We have stainless appliances throughout our house but because these chairs get touched a lot, finger prints are a real choir to get off. But the style and comfort are well worth the cleaning efforts for the prints. The only con to these chairs is the way the stainless is connected. The manufacturer used screws with look great, but they are not perfect. Some are less then straight and some tighten down the stainless more then others. This has caused the stainless to dent, dimple or slightly bulge in spots. Its not horrible and certainly not a show stopper, but it is an observation. Give the price it can be overlooked. I still love the chairs and get compliments every time we have company. They are a great addition to our decor.
the first one I got was severely damaged on the side but it was replaced the second one has minor dents and scratches but I kept it any way too much of a hassle to try to send back
Its a cool chair no doubt but it is shorter than I expected. Totally my own fault for not measuring. It did come w a few dings in the metal too so watch out for that.
These were purchase for an office they look great! This was the best price found on the internet !!! Not super comfortable ... but they look great!
We really love these chairs. The ONLY issue I can possibly mention is that the metal came with some smudges/marks on it that don't come off. Since our home's style is "industrial chic" it works perfectly. Just don't expect them to be totally "spit-shine" pristine.
I love the look of this chair. It's the coolest -- hands down. My only (minor) complaint is that the back is low. However, that said, I'd still buy it again!
Chairs look great. Seats are firm and comfortable. They sit close to the ground.
