5 Great BuySenuaDigital | 07/05/2013 | See all SenuaDigital's reviews (4)Great purchase as described, prompt delivery as I received the product in time for Christmas. The item itself is very impressive and my kids use it all the time for gaming, watching a film, all wireless. The fly touch is a brilliant buy and is recommended to anyone who wants a cheaper version of an iPad for themselves or for children. Fantastic gadget and does rberything outlined by the supplier. I read some reviews which were negative about the product prior to my purchase but since having bought the Flytouch I have had no real issues that cannot be rectified. Its android, so loading apps takes seconds when on wi-fi, I cannot think of anything it cannot do as has an additional memory capability aswell as USB ports. All in all a great buy.

Network per un apprendimento sociale sicuro per insegnati e studenti. Info. Words that stick. 5 Social Media Activities for Your Next HR Training Session. This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business. There's a new dilemma in today's training world: Is it prudent to allow technology devices in the classroom? One school of thought is that there should be absolutely no distraction — technology won't be tolerated and should not be incorporated into a professional training environment. But a new way of thinking is to encourage smartphones, laptops and tablets. Make them a part of the session, since today's training participants are multi-taskers.

Lore. Vineet Madan: The Digital Transformation of Education: A 21st Century Imperative. Over the past several years, the education debate in America has increasingly become a conversation about technology.
As we've seen the benefit of having tablets and smartphones in our lives, we've started to pin to it our hopes for our nation's education system, as well. Recently this talk has reached something close to a fever pitch. In January, Apple announced that it would be working with major education companies (including McGraw-Hill) to develop academic titles specifically for the iPad, inspiring a wave of blog posts and tweets hopeful for education's rescue. The FCC took things one step further in March, convening a meeting in Washington with several key players with the goal of driving adoptions of digital textbooks in K-12 schools across the country. However, as with any movement, critics have emerged. 25 Kickstarter Tips For Students. 100 Ways To Use Twitter In Education, By Degree Of Difficulty.
Twitter may have started off as a fun social media site for keeping up with friends and sharing updates about daily life, but it's become much more than that for many users over the past few years as the site has evolved and grown.
These days, Twitter is a powerhouse for marketing, communication, business, and even education, letting people from around the world work together, share ideas, and gain exposure. It has become a staple at many online colleges and campuses as well, leaving many academics wondering just how and if they should be using Twitter both in the classroom and in their professional lives. Google Drive vs. SkyDrive vs. Dropbox. Yesterday, Microsoft unleashed a desktop sync app for SkyDrive.
Today, Google followed by finally launching Google Drive — after a series of early appearances hinted that it was going to be arriving very, very soon. So now that the dust has settled, how do the two new services stack up with the current king of cloud storage and sync, Dropbox? Let's take a look. Free Storage. Web & Democracy. Teaching Students to Become Curators of Ideas: The Curation Project. I know a lot of people view curation as a buzz word devoid of meaning, but I like the metaphor!
I think it beautifully captures the process we need to go through to best make sense of the vast amount of information available on the web. Of course, it doesn't help that a lot of people use the word curation to describe activities that don't live up to the metaphor. And that takes away from its power. 20 Excellent Free Rich-Text Editors.

The road to Tahrir - The Egyptian Example. While the uprising in Egypt caught most observers of the Middle East off guard, it did not come out of the blue. The seeds of this spectacular mobilization had been sown as far back as the early 2000s and had been carefully cultivated by activists from across the political spectrum, many of these working online via Facebook, twitter, and within the Egyptian blogosphere. Working within these media, activists began to forge a new political language, one that cut across the institutional barriers that had until then polarized Egypt's political terrain, between more Islamically-oriented currents (most prominent among them, the Muslim Brotherhood) and secular-liberal ones. Latest Empirical Findings on Democratic Effects of the Internet. Jacob Groshek from Iowa State University recently published the latest results from his research on the democratic effects of the Internet in the International Journal of Communication.
A copy of Groshek's study is available here (PDF). Groshek published an earlier study in 2009 which I blogged about here. In this latest set of findings, Groshek concludes that "Internet diffusion was not a specific causal mechanism of national-level democratic growth during the timeframe analyzed," which was 1994-2003. The author therefore argues that "the diffusion of the Internet should not be considered a democratic panacea, but rather a component of contemporary democratization processes."

text: State of Maine, Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and MSEA, No. 95-UCA-01 (Dec. 27, 1994), affirming 93-UC-05, June 9, 1994. STATE OF MAINE MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Case No. 95-UCA-01 Issued: December 27, 1994 ___________________________________ ) STATE OF MAINE, DEPARTMENT OF ) INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE, ) ) Appellant, ) ) DECISION AND ORDER ON and ) UNIT CLARIFICATION APPEAL ) MAINE STATE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION, ) LOCAL 1989, SEIU, ) ) Appellee. ) ___________________________________) This unit clarification appeal was filed by the State of Maine (State) on June 22, 1994, pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A. 979- G(2) (Supp. 1993) and Rule 1.12 of the Rules and Procedures of the Maine Labor Relations Board (Board). The unit clarification report which is the subject of this appeal was issued on June 9, 1994. In its appeal the State challenges the hearing examiner's determination that Chief Accountant Janet Cotnoir is a state employee within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-A(6) (1988 & Supp. 1993). The State contends that Cotnoir should be excluded from the coverages of the State Employees Labor Relations Act (SELRA) as a confidential employee within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-A(6)(C) (1988) or in the alternative as a policy formulator/effectuator (J-1) within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-A(6)(J) (1988). The hearing examiner determined that the chief accountant had not participated directly or indirectly in collective bargaining negotiations, that the record did not establish that she had access to the State collective bargaining strategies, priorities or positions prior to their being revealed at the bargaining table and that none of the information to which she was alleged to have access could possibly jeopardize the State's bargaining positions or strategies. With regard to the State's sought-after J-1 exclusionary designation, the hearing examiner found that the record's one instance of Cotnoir's -1- participation in the development and effectuation of policy was not sufficient to mandate her exclusion. The parties waived oral argument and mutually agreed to submit the appeal on written argument alone. The parties stipulated that no additional facts beyond those contained in the unit clarification report were needed for full litigation of the appeal. A briefing schedule was agreed upon, pursuant to which the parties filed original, response and reply briefs on August 25, September 30 and October 6, 1994, respectively. The Appellant/State is represented in this matter by Attorney Sandra S. Carraher and the Appellee/Maine State Employees Association (MSEA) by Attorney Timothy L. Belcher. The Board, comprised of Chair Peter T. Dawson, Employer Representative Howard C. Reiche, Jr., and Alternate Employee Representative Gwendolyn Gatcomb, deliberated this matter on November 30, 1994. JURISDICTION The State is an aggrieved party within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-G(2) (Supp. 1993), and is a public employer within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-A(5) (1988 & Supp. 1993). The MSEA is the bargaining agent, within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-A(1) (1988), of Supervisory Services bargaining unit employees within the State Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The jurisdiction of the Maine Labor Relations Board to hear this appeal and to render a decision herein lies in 26 M.R.S.A. 979-G(2) (Supp. 1993). FINDINGS OF FACT Neither party has taken exception with any finding of fact contained in the hearing examiner's June 9, 1994, unit clarifi- cation report. Those findings of fact are hereby incorporated in and made a part hereof. -2- DISCUSSION We have often stated the standard applicable to our review of hearing examiners' unit clarification reports. It is as follows: We will overturn a hearing examiner's rulings and determinations if they are "unlawful, unreasonable, or lacking in any rational factual basis." It is thus not proper for us to substitute our judgment for the hearing examiner's; our function is to review the facts to determine whether the hearing examiner's decisions are logical and are rationally supported by the evidence. AFSCME, Council 93 and Town of Sanford, No. 92-UDA-03, slip op. at 4 (Me.L.R.B. May 7, 1992); State of Maine and AFSCME Council 93, No. 91-UCA-02, slip op. at 2 (Me.L.R.B. Feb. 12, 1991); Portland Superintending School Committee v. Portland Administrative Employees Association, No. 87-A-03, slip op. at 6 (Me.L.R.B. May 29, 1987). We have reviewed the unit clarification report in light of the above standard of review and the arguments of the parties. We hold that the hearing examiner's rulings are lawful, reasonable and are supported by competent substantial record evidence. Pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A. 979-G(2) (Supp. 1993), we hereby AFFIRM the hearing examiner's factual findings and legal analysis with respect to the unit placement of Chief Accountant Janet Cotnoir and adopt them as our own. ORDER On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and discussion and by virtue of and pursuant to the powers granted to the Maine Labor Relations Board by the provisions of 26 M.R.S.A. 979-G(2) (Supp. 1993), it is ORDERED: that the June 22, 1994, appeal of the State of Maine, filed with respect to the June 9, 1994, unit -3- clarification report in Case No. 93-UC-05, is denied and the report is affirmed as set forth above. Dated at Augusta, Maine, this 27th day of December, 1994. MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD The parties are hereby advised /s/___________________________ of their right, pursuant to 26 Peter T. Dawson M.R.S.A. 979-G(2) (Supp. Chair 1993), to seek review of this Decision and Order on Unit Clarification Appeal by the Superior Court. To initiate /s/___________________________ such a review an appealing Howard C. Reiche, Jr. party must file a complaint Employer Representative with the Superior Court within fifteen (15) days of the date of announcement hereof, and otherwise comply with the /s/___________________________ requirements of Rule 80C of Gwendolyn Gatcomb the Maine Rules of Civil Alternate Employee Procedure.

Nothing exciting...just downing my java to get me motivated for the morning. Hope everyone is well. babynurse91 02-11-2009, 10:10 AM Morning ladies!! Up early today so I can get started on the laundry and cleaning that I want to get done today!! Hope everyone has a good day! GainingWeightInLa 02-11-2009, 10:31 AM bindersbee, your post yesterday about weighing yourself multiple times each day is a very interesting approach! Pretty smart, if you ask me (which no one did, so I'm just sayin'.... :lol: ) I don't know if I'm that brave, though....I mean, I am...but I just get disappointed so easily....my husband looks at things about like you do, I think. Welp, not much going on here today....I want to go work out...and may later...but my sinuses are just wreaking havoc this morning and I'm not feeling well. Think I'll stay home and do some cleaning instead...for now. Gotta call the Dr. for more clarinex....I'm out. Have a GREAT day everyone! CarolinaGirl 02-11-2009, 10:43 AM Good morning y'all! I hope I'm not buttin' in here. My name is Candace and I live in NC. I do fall into the "30 Something" category. I joined last week and just can't seem to get everything read here! I am doing WW online (joined last Saturday) and seem to be holding up good with it. Anyways, I just wanted to say hey! SamanthaJubilee 02-11-2009, 10:52 AM Good Morning Sunshine(s)! LOL Hope everyone is safe & sound today. Today WILL be a great day! I woke up on time, did what I had to do and did it with a smile. Now I'm at work and ready to be productive! Can't wait for tonight! I'm going to the movies with some friends. I tried on some clothes that I haven't worn in a while & they fit again & look great. I've started "dressing up" at work (I can wear blue jeans, t-shirts & sneakers every day if I want) and I think that has made a big improvement on my attitude about the way I look. Sair 02-11-2009, 10:55 AM Good morning everyone! I am a newbie on the board and hope I am not intruding on the post! I'm Sarah.... Great to meet you all! :) Today.... well, I have a Valentine's party at my 3 year olds class today. I'm staying away from those cupcakes!! :) After that, I have to get home and finish cleaning up this house. The whole family was sick with a nasty stomach bug this past week and my house went down the drain and it's nasty! Great thing about the stomach bug..you lose a little weight! I lost 5 lbs. :) SuzyQ 02-11-2009, 11:05 AM It is so nice here in the Northeast this morning. It's going to be in the 50s instead of 20s. It makes me want to go and plant some bulbs. Anyways... Diana, I was reading your post about binderbee weighing multiple times a day and I have to say that I personally wouldn't do this. I tried this and became stressed. When I weighed myself, I was getting different weigh amounts. In the am, I weighed x amount. By the afternoon, I weighed xx amount. At night, I weighed less then morning and afternoon. So now I weigh myself once a day at the same time everyday and this seemed accurate. I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after I use the facilities. I would try this apporach first. If you weigh yourself different times of the day, you have to account for swelling, your water intake, etc. I know that if I had an off day, I know that I would see it the next day on my scale. I also use a log sheet and set up mini weightloss goal. I know that we are looking for an edge to help us along. But just know that whatever you set your mind to do, you will succeed. I hope that I haven't offended anyone by saying this. I wish everyone here luck on their weightloss journey. I hope this helps :). Suzy SuzyQ 02-11-2009, 11:09 AM Mornin Carolina :) and Welcome Sarah :welcome2:. SuzyQ 02-11-2009, 11:16 AM Samantha, Great job :bravo:. Keep up the good work :cheer2:. Suzy CarolinaGirl 02-11-2009, 11:32 AM Thanks for the welcome SuzyQ. Sarah, have fun at the Valentine's party. I sure do miss those parties for my kids classes. My kids are now in 7th and 10th grade. Have a great day y'all! LBH 02-11-2009, 11:56 AM Mornin' All! :wave: It's soo nice here today. Sunny, heading for 58*-ish today! :flow2: So what're you all doing for Valentine's Day? We're dropping the boys off at my mom's sometime Saturday, and they're sleeping over. :D We were gonna go out for dinner, but decided not to fight the crowds and we're just going to stay in and order Chinese food. Thankfully I WI on Saturday AM! Have a great day all! SuzyQ 02-11-2009, 12:28 PM Mornin LBH, Me and hubby are not doing anything for Valentine's. Not that we don't want too. I just feel like it's a waste of money. I don't feel like he has to go all out to tell me that he loves me :val2: and vice versa. We'l probably order chinese too :hungry:. I am not a very romantic person, I'm logical :book2:, as Mr. Spock would say. I just would rather spend the $100 or so on cable, electric, phone or credit cards. But for all of those that will be going out, have a wonderful time :val1: and enjoy. Suzy babynurse91 02-11-2009, 01:03 PM Hey again ladies!! Just passing by as I am trying to get my house cleaned. We are going out for Valentines Day supper. With me being out of work for almost 8 weeks with a broken wrist and now back I wanted to go out and have a nice dinner. I will be cautious about what I order and be as good as possible!! GatorgalstuckinGA 02-11-2009, 01:59 PM afternoon all..work is soooo slow right now. I actually got a lunch break...big shocker since i rarely get to stop for lunch. Its sort of a slow time normally at work, but we've been doing pretty good business wise mostly. However, due to the fact that I work for cooperate..of course we are getting emails about bringing up business and making money...so some days it can be very frustrating. We are doing the best we have done in years past and we are above plan and we are also one of the top producers...you'd think they'd give us a little break for having one slow week. Can't always win can you. Actually i hate being slow. It makes the day feel so long and it gives me the urge to just dive into chocolate and candy to cure my boredom. So far, i just decided to stop by the library to help cure my boredome and catch up on some good emails. Well its only day 2 but still no soda. Yesterday wasn't so bad, but today is so slow it makes me crave one. I promise i won't cave though. I hope to get some motivation to go exercise tonight. Hey to all the newbies. Its always nice to see some new faces. Alright..off i go...have a great day! GatorgalstuckinGA 02-11-2009, 02:00 PM oh yeah..as for vday..dh and i might go to cheesecake factory since we have a gift certificate..but normally we don't go "all out" for vday...sort of feel the holiday is over rated. My dh doesn't need one day a year to tell me how much he loves me...he does it daily (: PearFreak 02-11-2009, 02:01 PM Hello Everyone!!! :comp: Welcome Newbies!!! :welcome: I am doing well, lost another 2lbs, so 2lbs closer to my goal :carrot: . I am happy as a clam. I've been more conscious of what I eat, how much I eat and when I eat. Haven't been able to go to the gym as much these past two weeks because of other things going on, and am bummed about it... but am glad to see the scale moving in the right direction. :yoga: Well I have a few more minutes before starting another load of laundry and putting the kiddies stuff away... so I am going to try and catch up on the posts I missed these past few days. :wave: Oh, Ranger Chic--- Did you ever get a protein drink or protein powder? Was wondering what one you went with? SapphireBlue 02-11-2009, 02:25 PM Hello all. Lots of work to do today. I have to draw up a plan to turn in for an essay. It's only the plan, but I don't have a plan, because I don't know what I am going to write about. Oh!! So now, I have to think of something, and type it out to turn in tonight. I have to evaluate something. It's my third day straight of logging points, and I can tell you, I eat too darn much. I was on WW 8 years ago. I don't remember it being this difficult, but maybe it's because I am older now. I have requested a new 12 x 12 album for my birthday or Valentines. I don't know what I am getting him, but he has an interview for a new job on the 20th, so I am thinking about a nice shirt or something that looks sharp. Have a great day!! GainingWeightInLa 02-11-2009, 02:35 PM Well, I've had 9 points so far today...I started last night measuring every little thing I eat....right down to my potato chips! I ate exactly 1 oz of FF chips with my sandwich at lunch....if I don't make it til supper on what I've had, I'm going to have a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. I have NO CLUE what we're having for supper yet...guess I need to put my thinkin' cap on...I'm not feeling very imaginative today. Wanted to go work out...still may this evening....but will probably chicken out...I'm just still feelin' puney. Sinuses, man!! :barf: <---funny face!! Well, I've got clothes that need to be put in the drier, floors to vacuum, junk to clean up....we're remodeling a room so everything's a mess right now. I hate remodeling...til it's done, then it's soo worth it! :) Catch ya ladies later!! LBH 02-11-2009, 03:44 PM Diana, that's what I've been doing, weighing and measuring everything, because my sense of "size" has strayed over the years! :lol: Sapphire, That's exactly how I felt when I started back in at WW after 10 years! This week has been easier than last week though! Hang in there! Pear, Congrats on the loss!! :wave: Hello to everyone! :wave: PearFreak 02-11-2009, 06:38 PM Thanks Lauren! Gaining weight--- Eeeks you weigh everything you eat? My golly gosh, I'd be at that scale constantly. But then again, I guess it puts things in perspective. Huh. I praise you, girl. You are good. GainingWeightInLa 02-11-2009, 10:11 PM Well ladies, I'm sitting at about 23 points for the day. I recalculated my points allowance the other day and it says I can have 30 I think, but I'm trying to stick to 24 because when I first joined WW, I could have 26 and I was doing well then...and I've lost a little since then.... Yes, pearfreak, I'm tryint to weigh everything...although tonight, I guesstimated again. Hope I did so accurately....I think I did. I'm really scared that I'm going to miscalculate....I think I'm stressing myself out way too much. :lol: Never went and worked out today....but did a GOOD BIT of housecleaning. Hope it was enough.....I guess anything helps, though, huh? Well, my "Lost" is on....gotta go watch!!! I'm addicted! :eek: DanielleMomOf2Boys 02-11-2009, 10:32 PM Yes Diana...I am with you. WW says i can now have 31 pts, but did it with 26 years ago. I feel bad eating all those points. My cousin (lost 81 and now a WW consultant) told me that I did not get fat eating just 26 or less pts so 31 was a good start.

They are continuing to maintain with fresh paint. I also observed the grounds crew trimming trees. The common area was always clean and well maintained.

Rated 3 out of 5 by PierceH Great Hotel, Unreliable Transportation
It was my husband and my first time in Key West. Everything about the hotel was great, the staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, and the hotel had a nice vibe. However, the hotel shuttle was a source of frustration throughout the trip. When you book a room at the Sheraton, you pay a $20/night resort fee. This covers many small and unimportant things, such as cookies in the afternoon, however it also covers the shuttle. The shuttle is supposed to run from the hotel to a downtown drop off point once an hour in the mornings, and once every thirty minutes in the afternoon/evening. Every time it left there were twice as many people wanting to ride than there was room for, and your only option was to wait for the next one. Sometimes they said they were calling backup, but I don't think one ever came. Most people resorted to taking a cab, which is fine, but very frustrating when you are already paying for a shuttle you cant use.
As a side note, our shuttle driver Mr. Ed was amazing and great to ride with, if you got the chance.

The room was clean very large and comfortable. The staff were great and the shuttle was super convenient to go to Duval. I have been to Key West many times and this is the only place I have stayed that didn't smell musty or have any bugs....and I have stayed at many upscale places there.

I am a native Floridian and live near the Beach so my favorite Beach vacation Hotel in Key West has to be impressive in every way.
The Suites are so comfortable, the Beach amenities so close, and an environment of peaceful relaxation makes for a wonderful experience.

We really enjoyed our short stay at Sheraton Suites, Key West. Food was excellent and the extras like smoothies and popsicles at the pool and mojito's and cookies in the reception area were a great touch. We will definitely return and would highly recommend it to those considering a stay here.

We visited Key West for our 25th Anniversary with Family, The access to the Beach is Wonderful, Shuttles to downtown are Great, Pool is Great, However the Morning Breakfast Buffet Staff needs ALOT of training. They do not accommodate groups over 4 at all. Other that than the hotel was very nice and we would go back.

Drove to Key West from Tampa Bay. This place is away from all the noise and traffic of downtown Key West. Shuttle bus takes care of all the driving. Took us to and from every 30 minutes. The rooms are large, clean and up to date. The pool and staff are great. Will return again. Thanks Mr. ED for not leaving us !!!!

Hotel was close to beach and major attractions. We just had to cross the street to get to the beach. Room was clean and spacious. Pool was clean and well kept. The kids really enjoyed the amenities. Just wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be returning. Staff was very accomodating to all our needs.

although this hotel was not near old town key west, it had free shuttle service since parking is difficult in town. Room was large and spacious and clean. If you fly into Key West airport, you could really walk to the hotel. Breakfast was okay, nothing special with the buffet, many better and fun eateries in town.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TravellingOZ short stay w/ family
The Key West Sheraton is an excellent place to stay. We enjoyed the facilities, services, complementary downtown shuttle. There is just one thing which should be fixed - we had an appartment at the back side (2nd floor) of the building complex where the air condition -even if switched off- (probably coming from the central air condition system somewhere in the building) has produced a permanent background noise which made sleeping a challenge. We've been compensated by reducing the overall amount due. When staying there I recommend to explicitly ask for a quiet room. Again - this was the only (but important) disappointing thing there ...

After reviewing several hotels at Key West, it looked like this one had the most positive comments, very few if any negative.
We made our choice based on this research and were not sorry. The accommodations, staff courtesy and location were excellent.
We would definitely return to this hotel.

Rated 3 out of 5 by SheilaD Didnt meet expectations
Everyone was very nice here, but really just a motel that's been spiffed up. Room decor was brand new and very comfortable. I thought $300 was too much to pay for this motel that was trying to be something else. There are better choices especially for the $$$. Nice not being right DT-too noisy and crowded, but this place is really far ! We are walkers and couldnt do it more than one-one way. If your going to be a motel might as well be off the highway for half the price. Pool was amusing- Tiny little motel pool and than they put a rock waterfall next to it to make it feel like a resort. We had a crummy room with no lanai and view of parking lot.. Being a gold member doesnt mean anything here.

LUCKNOW: Sahara Infrastructure and Housing, the real estate arm of Sahara India Pariwar, on Sunday launched the group's first low-cost housing project in India. To be branded as Swapna City, homes built as part of the project will cost between Rs 5.5 lakh and Rs 12 lakh and will come up across 366 B and C grade cities in India. Homes built under this project will range from 285 square feet studio apartments to one and two bedroom sets.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Managing Worker and Chairman Subrata Roy said the projects is expected to be completed over the next 3 to 5 years. He said: This affordable housing project is our first such venture. With cities feeling the pressure to supply mass housing schemes, this project will come as a relief to people who belong to the low income groups.'' Roy also said seven to 10 affordable housing projects were also on the anvil in the Natinoal Capital Region, near Dwarka, Noida and Ghaziabad where the group has already acquired land.
The group also announced the launch of 10 lifestyle township projects, nine self-sufficient integrated townships under the Sahara City Homes name and one premium residential apartment cluster called Sahara Grace, that were formally inaugurated across Pune, Bareilly, Jodhpur, Gwalior, Aurangabad, Solapur, Porbandar, Kashipur and Katni on Sunday. After Kochi, the second premium residential apartment cluster in Cuttak in Bhuvaneshwar was also launched.
Announcing the group's future plans in the real estate business, Roy also said Sahara India would introduce a total of 58 real estate projects in the current fiscal. Out of 58 projects, 21 will be township projects, while 37 projects will belong to the affordable housing segment.
Speaking at a press conference to announce the launch of the real estate projects, Roy said: "The low cost housing project aims to develop a comprehensive real estate projects that offers quality lifestyle to people across the board covering not just Tier I cities but also Tier II, III and even small towns, in congruence to the scales of income of people." Roy also said Sahara Infrastructure and Housing would also, in the future, foray into rural housing schemes. To address the concern of poor maintenance of townships after they have been developed, Roy also said the projects will be maintained by the group for the first 10 years after being developed; maintenance will, subsequently, be handed over to the housing societies.
Spread across a total area of 900 acres, the 10 projects will offer 25,000 residential units that will be equipped with a range of amenities. Management of the project will be undertaken by Sahara Turner Constructions Limited.
At present, Sahara City Homes, in their integrated townships are being developed in seven cities, Lucknow, Jaipur, Indore, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Satna and Coimbatore, where over 1,000 residential units in Lucknow, Jaipur, Indore and Nagpur have already been handed over to respective owners. The company, Roy said, will also deliver over 2,000 residential units in the current financial year. He said Sahara City Homes are now also being made available in smaller cities and towns and will offer a combination of one to five bedrooms homes in high-rise and mid-rise apartments, independent row Houses and independent bungalows.
Though Roy refrained from announcing any infrastructure or real estate project in Uttar Pradesh, he said the group was in the process of acquiring 9,000 acres of property in Muzaffarnagar in West UP for setting up a state-of-the-art dairy project.

That's one reason why it's recommended to plant them deep, Stacey. That way there will (hopefully) be buds below the surface which can send up new stems. Planting deeper than as supplied encourages them to produce a 'root crown', from which they can send up new shoots whenever they need or want to.
Loving all of these photos!
Self-seeded wild ones:
Mixed crocuses:
The large leaves look much more like lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) than tulips to me. That would also explain them coming up all over the garden as they can sometimes be invasive (although not for me - I have trouble keeping them alive )
Hi Shoz2, lichen is harmless, but it does take a few years to grow. From that I think you might not have been pruning them? Have a look at the RHS gooseberry pruning advice here:
and a video:
Agree with Dave. It'll take 3-5 years before they are of flowering size, but at that price it's worth the wait.
If anyone wants to propagate lilies, break a few of the outer scales off of large bulbs and place them in a plastic bag with some damp compost. Put them somewhere warm and dark for a few weeks and little bulbils will form. Pot those up, apply tlc and away you go. A few scales usually fall off anyway when re-potting them.
Mice, possibly. They nipped-off the tops of half of my newly germinated tomatoes a couple of weeks ago and put them in a pile like that. Now they are ex-mice.
They often 'farm' aphids by carrying nymphs from other plants, up the trunk of the tree and to the youngest leaves. It's quite a sight to see them at it. Unfortunately it often results in quite a bit of damage to the young leaves.
Last 'spring' I dug up a couple of dahlia tubers that I found were in the way when planting new shrubs and placed them, half buried, in trays of MPC in the cold GH. They produced shoots much earlier than those I had lifted in the Autumn and kept in dry sandy peat, as well as before those left in the ground. They flowered a good month before any other dahlias in my garden. I intend to do the same to any I find are 'in the way' this year.
It should all be fine Tomsk, as it has been kept dry. It's only if it's left outside in the rain for a long time that you get issues as the nutrients can get washed out. If any of the peat has dried out completely though, then you might have trouble wetting it.

The operators of the casino at Aqueduct Race Track in South Ozone Park hit the jackpot last weekend, when more than 65,000 people flocked to the opening of a facility that many residents say will help revitalize a community especially hard hit by the rough economy.
"It will bring people from all over, and that's going to really help this area," said Deborah Richardson, a Queens Village resident who waited more than two hours to get to the entrance of the Resorts World Casino New York City. "They're creating jobs, and those are needed."
Richardson and her husband, Steven, were among thousands of people who stood in lines that snaked around the casino, which is located at 110-00 Rockaway Blvd., for much of the day on Friday
As many as 30,000 people attended the opening day festivities —so many that Michael Speller, president of RWNYC and a Forest Hills resident, actually urged residents to return the following week, when he expected the crowds would have dissipated. Despite the request, at least another 35,000 visitors flooded the facility on Saturday and Sunday.
"We are thrilled to welcome the public to this extraordinary new entertainment venue, which will permanently employ 1,350 New Yorkers, of which 89 percent are either minority or women," Speller said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony held before the doors opened to the public at 1 p.m. "With 41,000 applicants for these 1,350 jobs, Resorts World New York City will work hard with the state and leadership to find more ways to create even more jobs, as many as tens of thousands, on site as soon as possible."
Friday marked the completion of the casino's first phase of construction, which included 2,485 video lottery terminals and electronic table games in the Times Square Casino, as well as the Bar 360 Lounge and a variety of restaurants, including Queens Burger and Wolfgang Puck.
The inside of the casino is, as Richmond Hill South Civic Association President Margaret Finnerty described, "a whole new world."
"This is jobs, this is development, this is the feeling of a new door that's opening in our community," Finnerty said.
Set upstairs from a lavish entranceway, where two luxury cars are parked before a giant Resorts World sign and from which a massive chandelier hangs, the Times Square Casino is a nearly blinding barrage of blinking lights from games with names like Three Kings, Valley of the Scarab, 100 Wolves and Thundering Buffalo in rooms crowded with people kissing newly won money.
"This place is fantastic," said Mannie Brown, an Ozone Park resident who was the third person to win money. "I got $53 now, and I'm gonna keep going. I'm hoping to get a thousand or two."
Despite the massive crowds and long waits that had some putting their heads in their hands, and prompted others to turn away discouraged, residents said it was worth it to be partof what state Sen. Joe Addabbo Jr. (D-Howard Beach) called a "historic" moment.
"To witness a dilapidated area become vibrant, it's a great thing," said Addabbo, who joined a throng of Queens legislators and Resorts World officials to cut the ribbon on the city's first casino.
Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) said the casino is "revitalizing this community" and lays "the groundwork for future economic development."
"This is probably, ironically, the first place a pope visited that turned into a casino," Ulrich joked, in reference to a visit by Pope John Paul II in 2003 to Aqueduct.
Borough President Helen Marshall emphasized the jobs created at the institution.
"Resorts World has brought economic growth during a time when economic conditions have been stagnant, adding jobs, opportunities for small businesses and tax revenues for the city and state with anticipated significant investments over the next 30 years," Marshall said.
Larry Roman, a Flushing native and CEO of WDF Inc., a Mount Vernon-based company that worked on the building's plumbing and heating, said "this facility is what Queens has always needed."
"It's gorgeous, and we're so proud to have worked on it," Roman said.
While many said they were looking forward to the economic boon they said the casino would prove to be for the surrounding area, others said they just hoped to line their own pockets with some green.
"I can't wait to win me some money," said Sherry Winston, a Rockaway resident who wore a shirt that said, "Pray for me, I have bills."
Two individuals, when approached by a reporter from this newspaper, ran away, with one yelling over her shoulder, and the other repeating nearly the same thing, "I'm supposed to be at work but I'll probably make more money here."
Speaking while still waiting in line, Lucille McLeod of Corona said she "needed to get in to win me some money."
"Whatever I can win is good, as long as I don't go home broke," laughed McLeod, who had been waiting in line for three hours and still had more to go.
Despite the praise many heaped on the casino, some still said there are serious infrastructure concerns that need to be addressed outside the facility, which is expected to draw more than eight million visitors annually.
"There has to be more infrastructure work to help with the traffic," said U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Jamaica). "We've got to figure out the traffic concerns. It's a good thing that people are coming, but are we going to have to work out some things? Absolutely."
Civic leaders, including Community Board 10 Chairwoman Betty Braton, and Queens police had requested additional officers for the 106th Precinct, which includes Aqueduct. The NYPD did not allocate any permanent new officers for the precinct, though officials said there could be a detail — officers drawn from other precincts to temporarily help out — at the casino.
Police did not say how many additional officers were on hand for opening weekend, though there were numerous officers from the 106th Precinct seen at the site, including Capt. Thomas Pascale.
While Braton said Resorts World had addressed the community's concerns when it came to security on casino premises, she also said traffic outside the facility would have to be addressed.
"Once the crowds level off, the police can figure out what needs to be done," Braton said.

- While student employees of a public university are required to contribute to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (in lieu of a contribution to social security), students who meet the credit hour enrollment requirement (6 hours undergraduate or 4 hours graduate) may request to waive contributions to OPERS. The exemption from contribution option is offered with the initial, eligible student job assignment with the university. Students who lose their eligibility for student employment due to a drop below the enrollment requirement also lose their exemption status and will be required to contribute to OPERS during any future student employment at the university.
- Students who choose or are required to contribute to OPERS, will make OPERS contributions based on the schedule below. In addition, Medicare tax will be withheld (1.45%) on gross wages for student employees (except international students) who contribute to OPERS due to less than half-time enrollment.
OPERS Contribution - Effective January 1, 2008:
Student Employee Contribution Rate = 10.0%
Employing Department Contribution Rate = 14.0%Medicare Contribution
Student Employee Contribution Rate = 1.45%
Employing Department Contribution Rate = 1.45%
- Refund of OPERS Contributions:
Upon termination of public employment in Ohio, students and alumni can apply for a refund of accumulated OPERS contributions. State law requires that three months elapse from your last day of public service before a refund can be made. However, you can apply for a refund anytime after your last day of employment.
Eligible individuals should visit the OPERS Refund FAQ's to apply online. Questions? Contact OPERS at 1-800-222-7377.
Worker's Compensation
- Student employees are covered under worker's compensation for accidents or injuries that may occur at work.
Student Employee Contribution Rate = None
Employing Department Contribution Rate = .40%
Benefits and Leave Policy
- Student employees do not receive vacation, sick leave, or holiday pay; cannot earn annual longevity step increases, and are not eligible to apply for leave of absence.
- Students shall not be compensated for hours not worked, such as in the case of jury duty or emergency university closings (i.e. due to snow, etc).
Standard Workweek and Recording Hours Worked
Standard Workweek
- The student payroll system is based upon a standard work week that begins at one minute past midnight Sunday morning and extends through a seven day period ending at midnight Saturday night. Work shifts that begin prior to midnight are considered time worked for the day in which the shift began.
Recording Time for ALL Hours Worked
- Student employees must be paid for ALL hours worked. Supervisors are not permitted to accept voluntary services from their paid student employees. See Administrative policy regarding volunteers.
- Supervisors are required to establish student work schedules that do not conflict with scheduled class times.
- Supervisors who routinely record hours worked for student employees (with limited or no access to Kronos) must retain paper records in the department substantiating the hours worked. These records must be maintained in accordance with the Univeristy Records Retention Policy and be able to be produced in the case of an audit.
Tips for Using the Kronos Timekeep System
- Most student employees will utilize Kronos for online timekeep. Access to Kronos (via FlashLine, My Action Items tab) will occur one to two business days after the student and supervisor receive the Job Confirmation email from CampusWorks.
- Students with multiple jobs ONLY must ALWAYS choose to transfer their time to the correct department while clocking into Kronos; otherwise, the student wages may be billed to the wrong department and/or they may be paid at the wrong rate of pay. This also ensures that all supervisors can see their students' timecards.
The first time a student logs into Kronos, for each new job, they must set up their timecard by selecting the:
- department (ORGN)
- position information (EE-POSN-SUFFIX)
- supervisor (SUPERVISOR-POSN-SUFFIX).After this initial set up is completed, the student will be able to:
- select the appropriate string of all three numbers when they choose the drop-down arrow in the "Transfer" box in Kronos PRIOR to clocking in (Recording Time Stamp). Transfers must be done when the student is clocking into Kronos, not when they clock out.
If a supervisor does not have the job information required to set up Kronos, they should contact the Payroll Office at 330-672-8640 or at email@example.com additional assistance, including a Supervisor Guide, visit the Kronos information website.
Approving Time for Student Employees in Kronos
- The student employee's supervisor must approve, online (by midnight each Tuesday) all hours worked for the previous work week. Adjustments to punches in Kronos should only be made to correct errors and not to reduce or increase actual hours worked. Students may NOT be compensated for hours not worked due to university closings, etc. (see Student Benefits above).
- Student jobs that have ended, or been discontinued, will NOT automatically be removed from Kronos. To remove a student from the supervisor view of Kronos, email a request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Any record of time worked is considered an allied payroll document and must be treated with the same regard as any other fiscal record. Willful falsification of timekeep, or destruction of timekeep records, constitutes grounds for immediate termination of employment.
W-2 Forms for Income Tax Purposes
- All Kent State employees may access an electronic W-2 form through FlashLine. To receive only the electronic version and have print capability, an employee must choose the consent option through FlashLine (go to the My HR tab, Employment Details box). The electronic version is available each mid-January, approximately two weeks prior to the printed version that is mailed to an employee's permanent address. Employees should verify their permanent address in FlashLine (go to the My HR tab, Employment Details box).
- Additional information regarding Federal and State withholdings can be found at the Payroll website.
- Students who require a copy of their W-2 should contact the Payroll Office (236 Schwartz Center) at 330-672-8640 or email@example.com.

The quality is very good for these curtain panels. The description is very misleading. The curtains are described as "embossed suede",which implies a matte finish, and the photos make them appear so. The curtains are embossed satin, extremely shiny. The back is plain satin, the same color as the curtains. They are also described as thermal, however, there is no backing evident. I'm very disappointed in Overstock for this terrible description.
The curtains I received were not faux suede, they were not thermal backed, not were they blackout curtains. I thought they had sent me the wrong ones and sent them back only to receive an identical pair in their place. A completely different product that was listed and described on the site. If you like satin Isuppose they would be okay
I bought the natural and the tan and returned them both due to color. The fabric was nice and the texture was just like the photo and I would have loved to hang them if they matched my room. The natural has a green tint to it and the tan was very dark perhaps with some grayish tones to it.
Other than the fabric being thin and not like a sued at all, these curtains are good blackout work for the room.
These drapes are not 100% black out. The backing is not like other thermals I have seen before. Less rubbery and more high tech. The backing is more silvery and flows more with the fabric. I already have pull down blinds, so I kept those up too. The combination is so dark that my husband has to take a flashlight to use the restroom at night. It was 28 degrees here last night and both my husband and I think the room is warmer. I am very happy with this purchase!!
the 'chat' customer service left something to be desired...but the rep i spoke with on the phone was very helpful. unfortunately, these aren't blackout curtains.
The blackout panels really work. My husband sleeps much better now that our bedroom is completely dark.
True, they aren't blackout, they aren't suede, and I don't know what mineral they are talking about, but that color is a dusty turquoise, it would make a great mermaid tail. It's actually a very understated and pretty color. There is a swirling textured pattern on very nice fabric. The shine of the fabric has a sort of Hollywood glam look to it, and I put them in the bathroom with a dusty turquoise/dusty orange/chocolate and tan shower curtain. It has more blue to it, and doesn't go well with olive or sage. I gave it an average rating because it is not blackout. Maybe it could qualify for light blocking.
I really am happy with these curtains and have gotten a lot of compliments. I got them for my bedroom and went with the natural. Very close to picture in color. They are shiny, but they look good! Very wrinkled , but that is usually the case with curtains. I wouldn't say they are thermal blackout curtains. I have room darkening shades so they work well with the shades. I had other blackout curtains that were stiff, but these are very soft. I bought curtain hold backs and that really made them look nice instead of hanging straight down. For the money, they are good quality.

classic boatneck tee
by APIECE APART
APIECE APART was born during a trip to West Texas for designers Laura Cramer and Starr Hout's 30th birthdays. Inspired by the austere and beautiful landscape, Starr and Laura conceived of a simplified wardrobe, one that could be packed into a single bag - simple items that could be mixed and matched to go anywhere and do anything.
APIECE APART's SS14 collection is inspired by Modern Mexico, where concrete brutalist forms meet fiesta-colored paper flowers. The collection mixes strong Geometrics, reminiscent of tile work, with romantic shirring. Italian natural wovenshang set beside cool Italian cottons creates a range of weights and textures.

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jesus later traveled throughout Galilee. He didn't want to travel in Judea because Jews there wanted to kill him. | 1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. |
2 The time for the Jewish Festival of Booths was near. | 2 But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, |
3 So Jesus' brothers told him, "Leave this place, and go to Judea so that your disciples can see the things that you're doing. | 3 Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. |
4 No one does things secretly when he wants to be known publicly. If you do these things, you should let the world see you." | 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world." |
5 Even his brothers didn't believe in him. | 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him. |
6 Jesus told them, "Now is not the right time for me to go. Any time is right for you. | 6 Therefore Jesus told them, "The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right. |
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I say that what everyone does is evil. | 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. |
8 Go to the festival. I'm not going to this festival right now. Now is not the right time for me to go." | 8 You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come." |
9 After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee. | 9 Having said this, he stayed in Galilee. |
10 But after his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus went. He didn't go publicly but secretly. | 10 However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. |
11 The Jews were looking for Jesus in the crowd at the festival. They kept asking, "Where is that man?" | 11 Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for him and asking, "Where is that man?" |
12 The crowds argued about Jesus. Some people said, "He's a good man," while others said, "No he isn't. He deceives the people." | 12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others replied, "No, he deceives the people." |
13 Yet, no one would talk openly about him because they were afraid of the Jews. | 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews. |
14 When the festival was half over, Jesus went to the temple courtyard and began to teach. | 14 Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. |
15 The Jews were surprised and asked, "How can this man be so educated when he hasn't gone to school?" | 15 The Jews were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having studied?" |
16 Jesus responded to them, "What I teach doesn't come from me but from the one who sent me. | 16 Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me. |
17 Those who want to follow the will of God will know if what I teach is from God or if I teach my own thoughts. | 17 If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. |
18 Those who speak their own thoughts are looking for their own glory. But the man who wants to bring glory to the one who sent him is a true teacher and doesn't have dishonest motives. | 18 He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. |
19 Didn't Moses give you his teachings? Yet, none of you does what Moses taught you. So why do you want to kill me?" | 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?" |
20 The crowd answered, "You're possessed by a demon! Who wants to kill you?" | 20 "You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?" |
21 Jesus answered them, "I performed one miracle, and all of you are surprised by it. | 21 Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished. |
22 Moses gave you the teaching about circumcision (although it didn't come from Moses but from our ancestors). So you circumcise a male on a day of worship. | 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a child on the Sabbath. |
23 If you circumcise a male on the day of worship to follow Moses' Teachings, why are you angry with me because I made a man entirely well on the day of worship? | 23 Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath? |
24 Stop judging by outward appearance! Instead, judge correctly." | 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment." |
25 Some of the people who lived in Jerusalem said, "Isn't this the man they want to kill? | 25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, "Isn't this the man they are trying to kill? |
26 But look at this! He's speaking in public, and no one is saying anything to him! Can it be that the rulers really know that this man is the Messiah? | 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Christ ? |
27 However, we know where this man comes from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." | 27 But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." |
28 Then, while Jesus was teaching in the temple courtyard, he said loudly, "You know me, and you know where I come from. I didn't decide to come on my own. The one who sent me is true. He's the one you don't know. | 28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him, |
29 I know him because I am from him and he sent me." | 29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me." |
30 The Jews tried to arrest him but couldn't because his time had not yet come. | 30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come. |
31 However, many people in the crowd believed in him. They asked, "When the Messiah comes, will he perform more miracles than this man has?" | 31 Still, many in the crowd put their faith in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?" |
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd saying things like this about him. So the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest Jesus. | 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him. |
33 Jesus said, "I will still be with you for a little while. Then I'll go to the one who sent me. | 33 Jesus said, "I am with you for only a short time, and then I go to the one who sent me. |
34 You will look for me, but you won't find me. You can't go where I'm going." | 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come." |
35 The Jews said among themselves, "Where does this man intend to go so that we won't find him? Does he mean that he'll live with the Jews who are scattered among the Greeks and that he'll teach the Greeks? | 35 The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? |
36 What does he mean when he says, 'You will look for me, but you won't find me,' and 'You can't go where I'm going'?" | 36 What did he mean when he said, 'You will look for me, but you will not find me,' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?" |
37 On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus was standing [in the temple courtyard]. He said loudly, "Whoever is thirsty must come to me to drink. | 37 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. |
38 As Scripture says, 'Streams of living water will flow from deep within the person who believes in me.'" | 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." |
39 Jesus said this about the Spirit, whom his believers would receive. The Spirit was not yet evident, as it would be after Jesus had been glorified. | 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. |
40 After some of the crowd heard Jesus say these words, they said, "This man is certainly the prophet." | 40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet." |
41 Other people said, "This man is the Messiah." Still other people asked, "How can the Messiah come from Galilee? | 41 Others said, "He is the Christ." Still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee? |
42 Doesn't Scripture say that the Messiah will come from the descendants of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David lived?" | 42 Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?" |
43 So the people were divided because of Jesus. | 43 Thus the people were divided because of Jesus. |
44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but they couldn't. | 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him. |
45 When the temple guards returned, the chief priests and Pharisees asked them, "Why didn't you bring Jesus?" | 45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why didn't you bring him in?" |
46 The temple guards answered, "No human has ever spoken like this man." | 46 "No one ever spoke the way this man does," the guards declared. |
47 The Pharisees asked the temple guards, "Have you been deceived too? | 47 "You mean he has deceived you also?" the Pharisees retorted. |
48 Has any ruler or any Pharisee believed in him? | 48 "Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? |
49 This crowd is cursed because it doesn't know Moses' Teachings." | 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law--there is a curse on them." |
50 One of those Pharisees was Nicodemus, who had previously visited Jesus. Nicodemus asked them, | 50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, |
51 "Do Moses' Teachings enable us to judge a person without first hearing that person's side of the story? We can't judge a person without finding out what that person has done." | 51 "Does our law condemn anyone without first hearing him to find out what he is doing?" |
52 They asked Nicodemus, "Are you saying this because you're from Galilee? Study [the Scriptures], and you'll see that no prophet comes from Galilee." | 52 They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee." |
53 Then each of them went home. | 53 Then each went to his own home. |
