When people start to chuck them away, you know that inflation has taken its toll. At least when it has been removed from circulation we may no longer hear people talking about "one pee" or even "one pence".

"When people start to chuck them away"
We were in Lidl about a year ago and there were a couple of teens in front of us in the queue. They were given a couple of copper coins in their change and just dropped them on the floor. My wife pointed it out to them and they said they didn't want them and walked off.
Of course the Canadian cent is only worth just over half of a British penny so its much like when we abolished the half penny some years ago.
Exchange rate today $1.00 Canadian = £0.64 / £1.00 = $1.57 Canadian

I'd like to see all the ratty fivers replaced with a £5 coin.

Scotland still has three banks which issue their own notes, so Fivers don't tend to get as tatty as their English counterparts.

There was a five pound coin issued which was a sensible idea, what happened to that, not had one for years.

Poppy arrives at the front gates, noticing Lulu and sighing. This would most likely turn out to be frustrating. "Lulu. What are you yelling about this time? You know you are not welcomed within Bandle City after the incident with the children." She looks at Lulu, arms crossed and her pose looking official. This would not be easy, she knew it.
I came here on a very rare break from work. And you should know I always carry Whomper with me. Poppy doesn't even turn to look at Yoshi, but walks over to Lulu and places a hand on the Sorceress' shoulder. Lulu... Bandle City has changed largely during the centuries. I am not certain if your house is even there anymore. Besides, this protesting does not do much. You would have to speak with the Bandle City leadership if you wanted your house back.

Banta Inn: A Colorful History
by Katy Berry | photos by Violet Whitworth and Banta InnFrom time to time, the string of gas stations and grocery stores we pass each day causes us to forget that we live in a place with a history far more exciting than the new Walgreens on Tracy Boulevard. We live in the Wild West, a land once defined by mountains, cowboys, and gold rushes. Luckily, if you ever need a living reminder of San Joaquin's rugged history, look no further than the Banta Inn in Tracy.
Now a bar and restaurant nestled on South 7th Street, the Banta Inn sits on the historic Lincoln Highway next to the train tracks. It was originally built in 1892 as a two-story saloon, the upstairs acting as an inn. Owner Frank Gallegos was associated with local outlaw Joaquin Murrieta, who's said to have turned to a life of crime after his wife and brother were wrongfully accused and killed for stealing. Gallegos' saloon was also a sporting house, and the "sporting" continued upstairs where the inn rooms were used to facilitate a popular bordello. The inn was located at a stagecoach stop where weary travelers could take a break from their journeys. It was also where gold panners could trade in their tired mules for fresh ones before heading to San Francisco to hopefully make their fortune. In 1937, the inn nearly burnt to the ground. There is no definitive answer as to what began the fire, but its blaze supposedly took the life of a mother and child, who are now said to haunt the Banta. Despite the tragic fire, it was immediately rebuilt within the same year as a one-story general store. The new owners kept the original name of Banta Inn, though the establishment no longer had bedrooms.
In the 1960's, Frank Gallegos' youngest daughter and her third husband, Tony Gukman, decided to turn the Banta Inn back into a bar and restaurant. Gukman spent much of his time tending bar, and supposedly had the odd habits of stacking coins in the register and playing one-man poker when business was slow. In 1968, Gukman had a heart attack behind the bar and died instantly. It was then that the Banta Inn, which already had a colorful history, began to gain its reputation as one of the most haunted spots in America. At the time, there had already been rumors about the 1937 fire victims haunting the place, but it's the spirit of Tony Gukman that has made the Banta Inn notorious.
Bartender Vivian Nuich has been working at the Banta for five years and claims that she's seen the disheveled coins in the cash register mysteriously become neat stacks with no one behind the bar. She's also had customers whose beers have tipped over by themselves and whose plates have hovered towards them. Manager Nicole Didion has been working at the Banta for nine years and has also witnessed the coin stacking, along with the juke box playing oldies by Patsy Cline and Sinatra by itself, and ketchup and mustard bottles flying off tables. The restaurant has been featured on paranormal television shows like Sightings, and has undergone multiple paranormal investigations. Most psychics agree that Tony is a happy ghost, only playfully teasing the employees and patrons with his antics.
Beyond the eccentric history of the Banta Inn, it's also a homey spot to eat with the family or drink with the locals. Standing across from the old, abandoned brick post office, which closed in the '90s when the town of Banta officially became part of Tracy, we can easily imagine the dusty landscape as a once bustling crossroads for salty characters. When you walk into the bar area, you may initially draw the attention of several regulars who turn to scope you out, but don't be intimidated. The bartenders are friendly, and if you're at all interested in the great stories of the Banta, regulars who've been visiting the bar for over forty years are more than happy to tell you the tales. For example, did you know that before Banta became part of Tracy, its mayor was a mule named Crackers? The bar also hosts weekly events like karaoke on Wednesday nights, and hopes to expand its outdoor space for live music and other events.
If you're not much of a drinker, current owner Henry Tosta created a separate entrance to the attached family-friendly restaurant. For reasonable prices, guests can sit in the rustic dining room, each table lacquered with historic photos of the Banta Inn throughout the years (there's even an old photo of Tony on one of the tables), and antique cowboy relics on the walls. The menu is especially pleasing to meat-eaters who love juicy burgers and steaks. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, this local gem is a true blast-from-the-past and a great piece of history that all San Joaquin-ers should visit at least once.

Nutrition News: Healthier Food From Walmart
by Dana Angelo White in Food News, January 21, 2011Our readers targeted cost as one of the major obstacles to eating better. Well, a little help may be coming your way. After years of planning and recent discussions with first lady, Michelle Obama, the nation's largest retailer, Walmart, is rolling out its 5-year plan to make healthy foods more accessible to consumers. Here's what the company's changing, and our take on the new initiative.
The Plan
In addition to dropping prices on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other nutritious fare, Walmart plans to slash some of the junk from processed foods in its own "Great Value" line. On the chopping block: a percentage of the sodium, trans fats, and added sugars found in soups and other canned items, salad dressings, and snack foods. The company aims to reduce sodium by 25 percent and sugars by 10 percent, while artery-clogging trans fat will be completely banished. It will also ask suppliers to submit a "voluntary score card" to track the initiative's progress.
In similar fashion to other giant food companies like Kraft and ConAgra, Walmart plans to make reductions gradually in the hopes of not turning off customers. Also on the agenda: special logos to identify healthy options on the shelves much like the NuVal system.
While Walmart isn't the first grocer to launch such initiatives, it is the largest. And while this huge undertaking is just getting started (and its success yet to be measured) this will hopefully have a trickle-down effect to other food manufacturers.
As a nutrition professional, I'm excited to finally see some changes on the way. While I have no doubt that these big companies are motivated by financial gain more than anything else, hopefully initiatives like this will get more Americans to pay attention to their food choices. I would also like to see companies like Walmart tackle other important nutrition issues leading to America's obesity epidemic like the over-consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, but I'll take what's happening as a good start and be optimistic that things seem to be moving in the right direction.
TELL US: What do you think about Walmart's moves towards healthier products?

Hello and welcome to Your Sheriff's Corner.
Last week a person entered a Morriston couple's residence and the suspect shot the victim leaving him critical wounded.
I have had many phone calls from home owners in the Morriston area disturbed and alarmed about this incident. I totally understand why the residents are alarmed because this is a quiet and peaceful neighborhood and usually there is little to no crime in this rural community.
The Williston Police Department has announced the following arrests:
* Dasharee D. Berry, 39, of Highway 318, Reddick, was arrested on a Violation of Probation for fraud warrant out of Alachua County.
* Jeremy D. Donald, 19, of Northeast 40th Avenue, Williston, was charged with felony possession of marijuana after the car in which he was riding was stopped for loud music.
* Harold Dallas Jr., 19, was arrested for felony possession of marijuana in the same incident. A third suspect ran from the scene.
A 30-year-old Chiefland man was arrested Jan. 6 on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
David Beech reportedly hit a man with a large stick because the man made fun of Beech's girlfriend. The man was hit on Jan. 5 and was transported to North Florida Regional Hospital.
Bond was set at $15,000.
Other people arrested by members of the Levy County Sheriff's Office recently are listed below. Every person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proved guilty in court.
Charities were developed to meet certain needs of society that are not part of public assistance.
Unfortunately, some charities that have been developed are not really assisting for the "public good". Charities can solicit funds in many different ways such as raffles, mail or phone solicitation, paper advertisements and ticket sales.
Some of the things that you might want to consider before you contribute to a charity are:
* Avoid giving cash to strangers and take time to learn more about the charitable organization you are contemplating giving to.
The Williston Police Department reported the following arrests:
* Neil William Sawyer Jr., 23, of Southwest Seventh Avenue, Williston, was arrested for aggravated domestic battery after a fight with his girlfriend over a cell phone.
* Terrance Germani, 51, of Westwoode Drive, Franklin, N.C., was arrested on a Citrus County warrant for violation of probation.
People who were convicted of felonies in Levy County during the month of December are listed below:
* Tina Louise Butler, 40, of Williston, burglary.
* Brandi Jo Crouse, 27, of Fort White, larceny.
* Charity Joanna Duncan, 20, of Old Town, four counts of fraud-uttering a false bill or promissory note, and one count of larceny.
* Scott Richard Eldridge, 26, of Chiefland, burglary, aggravated battery, fraud swindle-obtain property worth less than $20,000, fraud-illegal use of credit cards.
A burglary is committed every 10 seconds in the United States. Some of these burglaries even occur in gated communities where often time residents have become complacent about safety issues.
A false sense of security dictates that this will never happen to me, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Most burglars take the path of least resistance and look for an open window or unlocked door.
Most burglars usually have a good working knowledge of different types of doors and windows, how they work and their weak points.
Some shooting incidents resulted in arrests by the Levy County Sheriff's Office this week.
An 18-year-old Williston man was arrested Dec. 31 for discharging a firearm in public and felonious criminal mischief.
Michael W. Simpson admitted shooting approximately eight road signs when he was caught at about 3:30 that morning, according to records.
*Ledrick L. Ferguson, 33, of Southeast Fourth Drive, Williston, was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery after he allegedly threw a plastic glass and struck the victim in the arm.
*Jose Flores-Martinez, 23, of North U.S. Highway 27, Ocala, was charged with disorderly intoxication after he allegedly caused a disturbance at a local convenience store.

Editorial – Don't drink this prom season
May 13, 2014
Prom season is upon us. All across America, high school seniors are finding new and creative ways to ask each other to the big dance, girls are searching for the perfect dress and at least one boy is determined to be that guy wearing the white tux with tails and a top hat. (Special private note to him: You don't actually want to be that guy.)
While parents are watching this unfold — and "Sunrise, Sunset" plays somewhere in their minds — they must remember how important it is that they continue the work they've done to keep their children safe.
Speaker gives useful drug abuse speech
April 22, 2014
While Issaquah High School sophomores were slogging through HSPE testing and upperclassmen were enjoying a few more hours of sleep last month, freshmen had an array of morning activities throughout one week.
While many initially groaned about the activities, some of the speakers that they got to listen to had an influential message to impart.
One of the speakers, Jerry Blackburn, is a faculty member in the Addiction Studies Program at Bellevue College. Blackburn is a teacher, community educator, and health and wellness consultant. His presentation focused on the damaging effects of substance abuse.

Afghanistan Veteran refuses to serve in the illegal occupation of Iraq. Now watch the right wing slime him. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080516144757.0ds7otes&show_article=1 US soldier refuses to serve in 'illegal Iraq war' May 16 10:49 AM US/Eastern 'Illegal Occupation': US Soldier Refuses To Deploy To Iraq Matthis Chiroux is the kind of young American US military recruiters love. "I was from a poor, white family from the south, and I did badly in school," the now 24-year-old told AFP. "I was 'filet mignon' for recruiters. They started phoning me when I was in 10th grade," or around 16 years old, he added. Chiroux joined the US army straight out of high school nearly six years ago, and worked his way up from private to sergeant. He served in Afghanistan, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines and was due to be deployed next month in Iraq. On Thursday, he refused to go, saying he considers Iraq an illegal war.
Just for the record, I did pretty well in HS and I had recruiters calling me when I was in the 10th-11th grade too. I think some HS's have deals where they sell their student list or something, plus if you have friends that join (delayed entry program, DEP), they'll give your info too. I had two friends do that. http://www.oanow.com/oan/news/local/article/soldier_from_auburn_to_refuse_iraq_deployment/13754/ Sounds like he just didn't want to go. His job in the Army was as a photographer, btw.
Problem is he was discharged. I know there are re-call rules, but I don't really know what they are. But if he was discharged last year and had already started college and so forth (after he joined for the GI Bill so he could go to school) I do kinda have a problem with that.
According to the Uniform Code Of Military Justice, i believe that an order that is deemed to be unlawful or illegal or constitutionally unlawful need not be adhered to. Problem however is in proving it. I believe that applies in most civilized nations.
If I was a soldier in Iraq I wouldn't want him in my "fox hole" the hell with him, give him a job handing out Obama bumper stickers and opening car doors for Princess Michelle. :bricks:
since he was a photog, and not infantry....I believe he would be taking pictures of your Fox Hole...... ewwwwwww
Here we go again.. will the insanity ever end??? BTW the kid is responsible for his behavior, whether or not he claims he was seduced by the recruiter.. if you don't want to take the risk of going to war, do not sign up for the military.. it is not all that complicated.
Which insanity? Since you quoted RW saying "sure thing NEM", I assume you mean that...so I've got to tell you, GJAJ, it was NEM, he's already been verified as NEM and banned.

Warning! KidxCrona! Dun like? Don't read!
{This takes place in ep. 31 at the party}
(Kid's P.O.V.)
I think I'm messed up. I sighed to myself. Other than the fact I was completely unsymmetrical, I had another problem. This particular problem had soft pink hair, a long black robe, and was a nervous wreck among all other things. This problem was Crona.
Ever since my father decided Crona should go to Shibushen, I've had my mind on them 24/7. Well, Crona is just...mysterious. You never know what's going on in their head. And I think I like that.
No...I would always tell myself. Crona is just a friend. Ha, the worst lie I could ever tell myself. I believe there is something more. Crona seems...almost calm and relaxed around me, unlike when their with some of the others.
Over all this time, I really can't deny the fact that I have fallen for said individual. The only problem is, I have no clue what gender they are.
So, in my current state, I have no idea if this means I'm gay or what. But, even if Crona IS a boy, I have a weird feeling that I would still see them the way I do right now.
"Hey, kid." Soul's voice clouded my thoughts and I turned around.
"Oh, hey Soul!" I tried to sound cheerful. He looked at me oddly.
"Is everything cool, Kid? You looked a little..." Soul tried to search for the right word. "Uhh, off."
I thought for a moment. Maybe I could tell Soul about my mixed feelings. He might know what gender Crona is, considering his Meister, Maka, is Crona's best friend.
"Well, Soul..." I started. "There is something that has been troubling me." Soul turned his head to look at me, and then, at that moment, it all burst out. Everything.
"...And I have no clue what to do about it! As the weapon of his or her best friend, do you think you could help me with Crona?"
Soul's eyes were wide, as he tried to comprehend everything I had just told him. He took a deep breath, then let it out. "Heh, a cool guy like me is sure to help."
I smiled and gave him my thanks.
He smiled, but then quickly looked confused. "Wait, why didn't you tell Maka all this? She IS Crona's best friend."
I rolled my eyes at his remark.
"Soul, Maka is a girl, right? Girls tell their best friends everything. I should know, I live with two." I replied, referring to my weapons, Liz and Patty.
Soul gave up his confused look and laughed. "I suppose your right. Now, what are we gonna do..." Soul got lost in his thoughts.
He snapped his fingers. "Aha! First, we should find out what gender Crona is..." He started. "Maka could help us with that."
"Help you with what?" piped a female voice behind Soul.
"Oh, hey Maka." I greeted. "Soul was wondering if you could help settle a bet between him and Black Star." I stated, calm and collective.
Maka nodded.
"Would you happen to know what gender Crona is?"
Maka turned her smile into a puzzled look.
"Crona? He's a boy!" she turned to Soul. "And which one of you thought otherwise?"
Soul cleared his throat, then stated, "I did. I mean, c'mon! The dude has shoulder-length pink hair AND wears a dress!"
I was shocked. If I were in that situation, I would have definitely pinned it on Black Star. Soul had just gone into the doghouse...for me.
I smiled at him. He winked back while Maka started ranting to him about how to not judge by one's appearance, and when he spit back, he got Maka-chopped.
Now, before I get more involved with that, I have to go find Crona. I know he likes to be in corners, but when I checked every last one (in a symmetrical order, of course) I gave up. Well, until I remembered Ragnarok's (Crona's weapon) appetite.
I ran over to the sampler table, and sure enough, Ragnarok was stuffing his face while preventing Crona from getting any. "Ragnarok!" he shouted. "Stop it! It's not nice! I wanna eat too..."
"Well that's not gonna happen if you keep whining about it!" The demon sword spat back at his Meister.
I walked up to them. "I think you've had enough, Ragnarok."
The weapon looked up at me, appalled. "What?! Who are you to decide when I stop eating, reaper-boy?"
I glared at the feisty weapon. "At least let your Meister have some! Look how hungry he looks!"
Ragnarok stopped stuffing his face for a moment to glance at Crona.
"So, what? The boy get food on his own!"
I was about to let the greedy sword have it, but Crona spoke before I had a chance.
"That's it Ragnarok! You can bully me all you want, but don't be mean to my friends!" Crona growled.
The demon-swordsman got the weapon to go back into his body without another word.
I was stunned. Crona never showed that much aggressiveness before. The boy look up at me. "I-I'm sorry about that." he said, while blushing a deep crimson. I was removed from my state of amazement by the other boy's sweet voice.
A smile spread on my face, and while now my cheeks were turning a bright red, I replied, "Don't sweat it. I was just trying to make sure that you actually got something to eat, that is, before Ragnarok devoured that whole table!"
Crona chuckled softly, then looked up at me, his cheeks still growing a deeper shade of red. "th-Thanks, Kid..."
We both smiled, still staring at each other, when suddenly, Ragnarok popped out from Crona's back again and pushed the Meister towards me until our lips met.
Both of our eyes were wide open, staring into the other's, but our lips did not break apart. In fact, before I even realized what I was doing, my right arm snaked around Crona's waist, pulling him closer, while I wrapped my other arm around his shoulder.
Crona closed his eyes, and placed both hands gently around my neck. We stayed like this for a little longer, until we heard someone's voice.
"Ahem!" We opened our eyes and broke our kiss, only to find out the one watching was Crona's weapon. "If you two are gonna keep doing this i'm going back inside."
And with that, Ragnarok disappeared. Crona and I looked back at each other, both of our cheeks still somehow turning more red.
Crona gave me a crooked smile, making me realize that our arms were still around each other. I pulled my arms back to my sides, as did he. "Oh, um..sorry about t-that." I stammered.
Crona giggled, "R-really? I thought you were enjoying y-yourself."
I laughed as well.
"Well, I was. But that wasn't what I was apologizing for."
Crona looked at me confused. "That what were you-"
He was broken off by me re-attaching our lips. I could tell this time he felt faint.
We broke apart, and then I whispered in his ear, "...That we had to stop so soon."

She taught math and English in the village school. She made home visits to families, helping them with daily tasks and learning about their culture. "We even helped re-roof one family's mud hut. That has to be done a lot. They have no running water, no electricity -- it's very primitive. The experience was awesome.
"I came back here in August 2009. Now it's time to go back. I want to make service a habit. I have found an opportunity that I'm absolutely passionate about. This is what moves me.
"I have a chance to co-lead a team for Summit Church. We'll be living in the village this time -- pumping our own water -- living the life they do. I'm really looking forward to that. In can be hard to connect with them if you don't live with them. The more you share, the more you learn.
"This project will relate to the same type of things I did before, serving the village. It's a spiritual experience for me -- showing them love and love of God. We're there to help them. We're not taking over, we're just there to work beside them."
Strong of spirit, mind, and body
At 23, Romano's spiritual strength is well grounded, and, not unlike the villagers she serves, her schooling was somewhat nontraditional. Her parents, Donna and Vinnie, concerned over the possible adverse effects of public school education, home schooled her, giving her a solid perspective on what is important. She learned by doing, by experiencing her education. Her home curriculum was tailored to her learning style -- "I absolutely loved it.
My mother planned school according to the way we learned. My sister Meaghan loved to read, but I had to be hands on and visual. PE was shooting hoops -- we went places and did things that fit what I was learning."

Review: Minima resizes images, automatically
Quickly resize images from your iPhone or iPad by opening them in this app.
Minima is designed to quickly and easily shrink images taken by the camera on your iOS device, and works incredibly well. Because of the naturally very large file size of most images on the iOS camera, it can become a space issue quickly--Minima fixes this problem, automatically, as you take new photos.
To shrink an image in Minima, all you need to do is open it. Tap the image in your library to open it and it will be instantly resized, according to the settings. There are five options here--mini, midi, maxi, and either iPhone or iPad. You can set it to resize, automatically, or you can choose to have it ask you each time, a good option if you want to avoid filling your library with accidentally resized images. You can also share your images after resizing or save them to your camera roll, automatically. All of this works seamlessly and allows you to shrink the size of your photo library quickly, either to save space or for sharing.
Minima is a good app, but practically requires the $0.99 paid upgrade to remove watermarks placed on your photos. That said, if you need a solid photo app to take smaller photos or resize what you already have, Minima does it quickly and works without any issues in the background of your phone.

Dinner is not just for dining
(Read article summary)Sitting down, breaking bread, and wielding utensils properly are not just pleasant ways to end the day. Families grow closer, kids get smarter, and food tastes better.
Melanie Stetson Freeman/Staff/File
How mixed-up is our dining history? To start with, the word "dinner" comes from the Latin (via the French) for breakfast. In some centuries and cultures, fasts were broken at dawn. In others, stomachs growled until midday, which is why petit déjeuner was invented.
The evening meal has always varied depending on work hours, preparation time, and, most important, available light. In his excellent domestic history, "At Home," Bill Bryson notes that if you open your refrigerator door "you summon forth more light than the total amount enjoyed by most households in the eighteenth century." Darkness and dining were not happy partners. So it wasn't until the middle of the 20th century, with the eight-hour workday and the spread of indoor lighting, that we settled on breakfast, lunch, and dinner at morning, noon, and evening.
You know the drill, of course: Breakfast is the eye-opener, the fresh start on the day with juice, muffin ... and, whoa, look at the time! Lunch is the pit stop – sandwich, salad, or soup wolfed down, often while doing business, far too often at a desk. What did you have for lunch, dear? I really can't remember.
Then there's dinner. If the other meals are more or less forgettable, dinner is the real deal. It's where the fast, for all intents and purposes, is finally broken, the meal that most people make an effort with, even if that means just deciding what toppings to put on a pizza. Dinner has possibilities. It isn't strictly time-limited. It can relax into the evening.
Dinner is a time to talk about subjects deeper than the daily to-do list or office politics. More than any other meal, it preserves the essential aspects of communion. There might be candlelight to invite intimacy, as in Virginia Woolf's touching description of a memorable dinner party in "To the Lighthouse." But any mood lighting will do. The menu need not be as fantastic as in "Babette's Feast," but chopping and sautéing are nice moves. Martha Stewart isn't required to bless the place settings; but sitting down, using a plate, and wielding utensils properly is commendable.

How Will Apple (AAPL) Stock Be Affected By China's Government Excluding Their Products From Purchase List?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Apple Inc. (AAPL - Get Report) are slightly lower in pre-market trade after the Chinese government excluded the company's iPads and MacBook laptops from the list of products that can be bought with public money because of security concerns, according to government sources, Bloomberg reports.
Ten Apple products -- including the iPad, iPad Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro -- were omitted from a final government procurement list distributed in July, according to officials.
The models were on a June version of the list drafted by the National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Finance, the officials told Bloomberg.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
Apple is the latest U.S. technology company to be excluded from Chinese government purchases amid escalating tensions between the countries over claims of hacking and cyber spying, Bloomberg noted.
TheStreet Ratings team rates APPLE INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate APPLE INC (AAPL) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 8.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Although AAPL's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.26 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.18, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, APPLE INC's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
- 44.56% is the gross profit margin for APPLE INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 20.69% is above that of the industry average.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 47.87% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, AAPL should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.

Work detailsChristopher Columbus by Marion Dane Bauer
None. None Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed the illustrations but I didn't like the story itself. The illustrations were detailed and expressive which was helpful because the writings were not detailed at all. I liked the picture where they showed him as a scholar with all of his academic things which made the reader infer that he was a great thinker. They also showed him with a thought bubble more than once which was helpful because you knew what he was thinking and dreaming about. Although it is supposed to be "My First Biography" I would have thought they would have added more detail. They never said when he sailed to America and didn't add much information besides the names of the ships. The focused seemed to be that he was a persistent dreamer. I didn't actually learn anything about him from this book. The big idea was to inform the reader about Christopher Columbus, which they did not do. Book Summary: This book is a children's biography about the famous and legendary explorer, Christopher Columbus. The book begins with Columbus as a young boy dreaming about exploration and discovery. As he grows older he decides to follow his dreams; he persuades the king and queen of Spain to supply him with materials to travel to and explore the East Indies. The book also describes the famed ships that Columbus and his crew traveled in, The Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. As Christopher Columbus and his crew travel they arrive at the Island of San Salvador, Columbus mistakes his endpoint for the East Indies; in reality they had arrived in a new land, the Americas – this mix up is the result of the native people of this land being referred to by Columbus as "Indians". Personal Reaction: I think that this is an excellent children's biography. It is written very age-appropriately with realistic illustrations that help to give readers an idea about the culture and style of this time period. I also especially like that the book features maps drawn into the illustrations; these help readers to envision and process the length and magnitude of Columbus' journey as well as understand the geography. Classroom Extensions: 1. Have students look at the pictures of Columbus's ships sailing across the ocean. Ask students to draw their own ship and make a design for the sails, like the ones on Columbus's ships. At the bottom of the drawing, have them write the name of their ship. 2. Explain that when explorers visit an area they have never visited before, they make a map and record their observations. Together with your students, visit a new and unfamiliar place, such as a park or a different part of the school. Map the area as you go exploring. What landmarks do you see? What path did you take? Were there people and cultures established in the places you visited- how did you respect them? Create a map and add things you see together. Your students may want to keep a log or record of things they see along the way, such as plants and animals. "Christopher Columbus" tells the story of Christopher Columbus in a way that a beginning reader would understand. The wording is simple, however informative. It is important for these books to be available for children because it provides them with historical information in a way that's enjoyable to read and easy to follow. For example, on the last page, the only text is, "Columbus dreamed a dream. He showed the way. Many others followed." Students may not recognize who they are reading about, however teachers can incorporate this book into a lesson where they teach their class about Christopher Columbus. They will be able to read it and comprehend the simple information that is being presented to them. Also, this book does an amazing job showing children that they can never give up on their dreams. This is a great book to introduce Christopher Columbus. It does not go into great historical detail, but still a good introductory book for pre-k to grade 3. Genre: Biography Review: This is a good example of a biography because it is telling about the life of Christopher Columbus and how his dream was to sail to the Indies and find new land, and how he was finally able to get the money and the ships to do it from the king and queen and how he found the Americas. Media: acrylic Age Appropriateness: Primary Setting: The setting was integral because Christopher Columbus first went to Portugal to ask for money, then to Spain, and then he sailed to the Americas, making him famous. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone No descriptions found. Simple text and illustrations introduce early readers to the life and accomplishments of Christopher Columbus. (summary from another edition) |

Top 10 Prospects: Trade deadline
Mike Olt first prospect to benefit from 2013 trade deadline deal
Baseball's deadline for trades without waivers looms large at 4 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. The next few days are vital not only to major league teams looking to bolster their immediate playoff chances or build for the future, but also for fantasy owners; Players getting traded from one major league to the other will have a significant impact on American League-only or National League-only fantasy leagues. And players changing addresses will leave openings for youngsters to claim regular playing time, a development which can affect leagues of any size and depth.
Milwaukee Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo, Houston Astros starter Bud Norris, Chicago White Sox starter Jake Peavy, San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence and Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Michael Young are five big leaguers who haven't been able to escape trade rumors this month.

Two historic buildings, one on each side of the fire house in Durham, are one step closer to being renovated to serve the town's emergency services personnel after the Board of Selectmen met Aug. 11.
The town has come up with a conceptual schematic plan of how to create a public safety complex using these properties located at 31 and 57 Main St.
The town previously obtained a grant for $20,000 for state-reimbursed matching funds to help preserve the historic buildings. The town has owned the properties for 20 years and the buildings have been empty for 15 years.
"We are looking for assistance to renovate those houses so they comply with historic district regulations," First Selectman Laura Francis said in a phone interview. The town has done studies on possible uses for the buildings. "We are closer now than ever before to understanding how we can use those two properties to meet our public safety needs," Francis said.
A committee has been working on the project for five years.
According to Kurt Bober, foreman of public works and part of the town's emergency management team, renovating the historic buildings could save the town money rather than renovating the firehouse. The town is in need of more space for ambulance and fire responders; for example, firefighters could use space to stay overnight to remain on call for emergencies.
"I'm happy to say that we will have choices," Francis said at the meeting in regard to funding the project. Francis said discussions with the Board of Finance include the possibility of phasing the project, and the town has been saving money to be set aside for capital improvements.

Charles Darwin was simply saying, "I am not against any God, I don't know any God." He was a very fearful person, and he was a Christian. He used to pray; in fact he started to pray more after he wrote the theory of evolution. He became very much afraid: who knows, perhaps he was doing something against God. He had believed that God created the world, but the facts of nature were telling a different story: everything is evolving, life is never the same again.
So if anybody believes in God, he cannot believe that you are a being. Only things are created; they have a beginning and an end; beings are eternal.
Because of this fact, two religions in India, Jainism and Buddhism, dropped the idea of God - because to keep that idea simply meant you were dropping the idea of being, which is far more significant. They would have liked to keep both, but it was logically impossible.
Once you accept that you have been created, you accept the other part of it, that the same whimsical man, any day, can un-create you. So what meaning do you have? - just a toy in the hands of some whimsical old man. So whenever he wants, he plays with the toys, and whenever he wants, he destroys them? It was really a great, courageous step on the part of Mahavira and Buddha to choose being and drop the idea of God - and that too, twenty-five centuries ago. They could simply see that you cannot manage both; they are against each other. But they were not aware of evolution; that was a later development. Now we know that creation goes against the idea of evolution too.
Creation and evolution are absolutely against each other. Creation means completion; evolution means constant growth. Growth is possible only if things are imperfect and remain imperfect. Howsoever they grow there is always a possibility of growing more.
There are a few other things which have to be considered. If you are created, you can't have freedom. Have you seen any machinery having freedom, any thing having freedom? Anything that is created is in the hands of the creator, just like a puppet. He has the strings in his hands; he pulls one string. You must have seen a puppet show. The strings are pulled, the man is behind the screen; you don't see him, you simply see the puppets, and they dance and they fight, but that is all false - the puppeteer is the reality.
These puppets cannot have freedom to fight, to love, to get married - all these things happen in a puppet show - to dance or not to dance; or when they don't want to dance, to say, "No, I am not going to dance." The puppet cannot say no. And all the religions have been teaching you not to say no: don't say no to God, to his messiah, to his holy book - never, never think in terms of saying no.
Why? If you cannot say no, what is the meaning of your yes? It is a corollary. Yes has meaning only when you are capable of saying no. If you have to say yes, and there is no other alternative except yes.
