Jonathan Swift
In 1720 Jonathan Swift began his most famous work, Gulliver's Travels, which was published in 1726 and remains to this day a classic of English Literature.
Jonathan Swift was born on November 30, 1667 in Dublin, Ireland, the son of Protestant Anglo-Irish parents. Swift's ancestors had been Royalists, and all his life he would be a High-Churchman. His father, also Jonathan, died a few months before he was born and young Jonathan grew up fatherless. Almost immediately, his mother Abigail, returned to England, leaving her son behind in the care of an uncle. In 1673, at the age of six, Swift began his education at Kilkenny Grammar School, which was, at the time, the best in Ireland. Between 1682 and 1686 he attended, and graduated from, Trinity College in Dublin. In 1688 William of Orange invaded England, initiating the Glorious Revolution and with Dublin in political turmoil, Trinity College was closed. The ambitious Swift took the opportunity to go to England, where he hoped to gain promotion in the Anglican Church. In England, in 1689, he became secretary to Sir William Temple, a diplomat and man of letters, at Moor Park in Surrey. There Swift read extensively in his patron's library, and met Esther Johnson, just eight years old at the time, and who was to become his "Stella." It was there, too, that he began to suffer from Meniere's Disease and in 1690, at the advice of his doctors, returned to Ireland, but the following year he was back with Temple in England. He visited Oxford in 1691and in 1692, with Temple's assistance, he received an M. A. degree from that University. In 1694, he returned to Ireland to take holy orders and in 1695 was ordained as a priest in the Church of Ireland, the Irish branch of the Anglican Church, and the following year he returned to Temple and Moor Park. It was between 1696 and 1699 that Swift is thought to have composed most of his first great work, A Tale of a Tub, a prose satire on the religious extremes represented by Roman Catholicism and Calvinism. In 1697 he wrote The Battle of the Books, a satire defending Temple's conservative position in the contemporary literary controversy as to whether the works of the "Ancients" — the great authors of classical antiquity — were to be preferred to those of the "Moderns." In 1699 however, Temple died, and Swift traveled to Ireland as chaplain and secretary to the Earl of Berkeley. In 1700 Jonathan Swift was inducted as Vicar of Laracor, provided, that is, with what was known as a "Living" — and given a stipend in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. These appointments were a bitter disappointment for a man who had longed to remain in England. In 1701 Swift was awarded a D. D. from Dublin University, and published his first political pamphlet, supporting the Whigs against the Tories. In 1707 Swift was sent to London as emissary of Irish clergy seeking remission of tax on Irish clerical incomes. Although his requests were rejected, it was here that he met Esther Vanhomrigh, who would become his "Vanessa." In 1708 Swift met Addison and Steele, and published his Bickerstaff Papers, satirical attacks upon an astrologer, John Partridge, and a series of ironical pamphlets on church questions, including An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity. In 1710, Swift had a falling out with the Whigs and joined the Tory party where he became the editor of the Tory newspaper The Examiner. Between 1710 and 1713 he also wrote the famous series of letters to Esther Johnson which would eventually be published as The Journal to Stella. In 1713 Swift was installed as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin — a promotion which was, again, a disappointment. In 1714, Queen Anne died, and George I took the throne. With his accession the Tories fell from power, and Swift's hopes for an appointment to a position in England came to an end: he returned to Ireland "to die," as he says, "like a poisoned rat in a hole." It is believed by some that Swift secretly married Ether Johnson in 1716, but there is no documentation to prove this to be true. A period of literary silence and personal depression followed, but beginning in 1718, he broke the silence, and began to publish a series of powerful tracts on Irish problems. In 1720 he began his most famous work, Gulliver's Travels which was published in 1726 and remains to this day a classic of English Literature.
In 1728, his "stella" Esther Johnson, died and by 1735, when a collected edition of his Works was published in Dublin, his Meniere's Disease had worsened and his memory was beginning to deteriorate. During 1738 he slipped gradually into senility, and finally suffered a paralytic stroke in 1742. Jonathan Swift died on October 19, 1745 and is buried in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin beside Esther Johnson.

Another very good article on a famous English literary writer who wrote Gulliver's Travels. So much good writing left for us down through history to read by these different men like Jonathan Swift. Thanks for this good share.

There are plenty of females they could bring in, we've mentioned several here, but I want one with a science brain, not silicone breasts thanks.

The Orioles have spent this offseason tapping into the market, signing Japanese left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada and Taiwanesse lefty Wei-Yin Chen to multiyear major league deals as well as signing Korean pitcher Eun-Chul Choi to a minor league deal.
"I'm excited," Poitevint said Tuesday. "We have our hands full. We're looking for talent that can help us now and talent that can create a foundation of young players that will become major leaguers down the road."
Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette has said Korea will be one of the organization's focal points in Asian scouting, especially with pitching. While working for Duquette in Boston, Poitevint helped sign eight Korean pitchers, and six made it to the major leagues, including Sun Woo Kim and Jin Ho Cho.
He also signed Red Sox pitchers Hideo Nomo and Tomo Ohka. With the Chicago White Sox, he signed second baseman Tadahito Iguchi.
Poitivent promised the Orioles will be much more active in Asia.
"I know it's an uphill climb, but I've never been on a losing team," he added. "We're trying to hit the ground hard and show the people of Baltimore we want to build a winner."
The Los Angeles-based Poitevint, who is in his sixth decade of baseball work, began his career as an associate scout with the Orioles and was responsible for signing players like Doug DeCinces, Rich Dauer and Eddie Murray. He worked under former Orioles general manager Harry Dalton in Milwaukee, where he met a young Duquette and where both began venturing into the international market.
"I couldn't be happier," Poitevint said. "Dan is very special to me. But I've still got to hold my own."

Sign of things to come
Manager Jim Tracy opted to start Randa at first instead of Craig Wilson because of Randa's success against Giants' starter Jamey Wright. Randa was 9 for 24 with three home runs against Wright prior to last night.
The sight of Randa manning first base might become common if, as expected, Casey and Wilson are dealt before Monday's non-waiver deadline at 4 p.m.
The Oakland Athletics have emerged as a favorite to land Casey, who can become a free agent after this season. The Los Angeles Angels are also interested.
As for Wilson, many teams have him on their radar. The same is true for relievers Roberto Hernandez, Damaso Marte, Salomon Torres and, increasingly, John Grabow -- though the Pirates are very unlikely to deal Grabow.
Those expecting many deals involving the Pirates in the coming days should keep in mind that the passing of the trade deadline does not mean general manager Dave Littlefield cannot move players in August.
For that to happen, however, a player would have to clear waivers -- a probable scenario in the case of players with copious salary remaining on their contracts.
The Pirates think Casey and Wilson would clear waivers, so pre-deadline moves might involve only relievers and, possibly, starter Kip Wells.

Muskrat makes it to majors
LACONIA — Jason Rogers became the first Laconia Muskrat to reach the major leagues last week, when he debuted with a pinch hit double for the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Rogers, was played briefly for the Muskrats in 2010 before he was drafted and signed by the Brewers, was a standout at Columbus State College in his native Georgia. Over 6 feet and weighing 245 pounds, he plays both first and third base as well as either corner of the outfield, but Ron Roenicke, his manager at Milwaikee said "Jason is basically a hitter."
Noah Crane, general manager of the Muskrats, recalled that when he recruited Rogers he anticipated that he would be drafted after completing a spectacular college season, but he did not expect him to sign a contract. As it happened the Brewers drafted Rogers in the 32nd round, signed him to a contract and assigned him to their franchise in the Arizona League,where he led the team in runs batted in. By 2013 the Brewers named Rogers their "Minor League Player of the Year" and this year he hit .316 with 11 home runs and 39 runs batted in 57 games for Nashville before joining the Brewers in Chicago.
Crane said that 34 Muskrats have signed professional contracts and 27 are currently playing in the minor leagues, six have retired and Rogers is playing in the big leagues. He said that more than 100 players from the New England Collegiate Baseball League have performed in the major leagues.

Entry limits for both the Junior and Mini events have been reached and are now closed.
Every year 6,000 young runners pound the pavements at the UK's biggest and most popular children's running event on the NewcastleGateshead Quayside. Budding athletes, school friends and families will run across the famous Great North CityGames track as part of their 1.5km and 4km courses, for ages 3-8 and 9-16 years respectively.
All Junior and Mini runners will receive their very own running t-shirt, a goodie-filled finisher's pack and that all-important medal.
The Junior and Mini courses both start on the Newcastle side of the River and take the young runners across to Gateshead via the Swing Bridge.
The Juniors have a slightly extended version that loops along the river, but both the Juniors and the Minis will cross back across the Gateshead Millennium Bridge towards the finish line on the Newcastle side.
The Great Mini Run events are some of the most crowd-pleasing activities to watch in the Great Run calendar and are a great way to get the younger generation interested in running.
Each child can have an adult to accompany them throughout the course to give them a helping hand, so it's a great day for the whole family.
All Mini runners will receive a running t-shirt, a finisher's pack filled with goodies, and that well-deserved medal after they cross the finish line.
The Great Mini Run is proud to be part of the GO Run For Fun (GRFF) campaign, sponsored by INEOS, which inspires children to be more active through well-organised short distance running events.
Since the campaign began in 2013 GRFF has seen over 45,000 children take part in the short distance running events organised as part of the campaign; that's almost half way to their target of 100,000 by 2016. GRFF also try to educate, excite and engage with children through their schools and are working towards educating our younger generation about how important it is to have a healthy lifestyle.
The GRFF team travel all over the UK to host these events. Whether it is a school, athletics club or local park they are all FREE and open to ages between 5-11 years old. In 2015 the campaign will see a return visit to Europe and also launch events in Texas, USA.

Unfortunately, most public educations systems these days--not just in the US--do more schooling than educating. They apply a one-size-fits-all curriculum to every student in preparation for either college or a job. This isn't necessarily a bad thing--it works for a good majority of students--but it leaves a lot to be desired, especially for kids on the fringe who are either struggling or excelling. We have to deal with it for now, because we don't have many other feasible large-scale options. But as technology becomes cheaper and more available, I think our public schools can and should move towards more personalized and efficient education.

most of the federal taxes (about 1/3) are going to education
the money is not the issue
it's the will and the desire that comes from within
I personally believe we should push for higher standards of state and higher bar exams for practitioners so there's less supply and more demand
making it more desirable

I definitely agree with you here. I'm in high school and I attend a math and science center, and I also take college English courses. I'm not trying to brag, by the way. If my school didn't have these opportunities for me, I'd be clawing my eyes out, as school would be painfully easy.

I agree with you so much. Personally I dislike the current education system in the United States, I think that it's simply memorization for what's going to be on a test, the teacher does not give much motivation to actually retain the stuff they make us read, nor to pick up any useful information from it. I also don't think that they should call themselves an "educational" institution when they don't educate.

There are a lot of teachers who want to properly educate children. For a lot of them, that's why they became teachers in the first place (it certainly wasn't for the pay). But they're caught in a system which doesn't demand anything above mediocrity.

or maybe you 'muricans should actually pay your teachers, I mean its a crappy job at best overall, why not get properly paid for it just to get a tad more motivation?

Until any bill finalizes stringent border security, these discussions are a waste of time.Hide replies
Until any bill severely punishes private sector employers from hiring undocumented workers, these discussions are a waste of time.
Will there ever be a call to "Tear donw that wall"?
Nice way Johnson to ensure the Hispanic vote for the Dems
Senator Sunspot does what ALIC tells him to do. He's just not smart enough to figure out complex problems on his own.
Johnson is just another wealthy and ignorant politician who doesn't know his butt from his face.Hide replies
His stated opinion is in favor of a path to citizenship but in opposition to enhanced border security...is this his true stance or rather a position adopted in protest to what he claims to be "railroaded through"? The cognitive dissonance is palpable...

I wonder how many illegals Pakur hired?
Omnibus immigration reform and legislation protecting voting rights, anyone..?
Perhaps ole Red would prefer that the federal government keep more payroll tax revenues which are essentially wage garnishments from the checks of immigrant workers who have only secondary, roundabout access to the majority of services which are already available provided to US immigrants.
Read the Senate bill if you don't understand it or ask somebody who does? But not even most of the Senate had time to read it, before passing this amendment. First, it doesn't say that the biggest trigger, that the fence is double-layer parallel fencing of 350 miles, but then we are lied to because only 14 miles fencing have really been constructed. The worst part of the bill gives full authority to that nasty Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who smirked why being questioned at the Judiciary Mark-up. The demented brain-dead women said the border was secure. Nothing in the bill says that illegal aliens gaining a temporary work visa must wait until the stringent enforcement triggers are in place. That even criminal gang members can get clemency and illegal aliens who have already been deported can return. The whole bill has been nothing but a travesty and although the Democrats and their co-conspirators have hustled this bill through the full Senate and the "Surge" amendment, it must still be given credence in the House?
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has launched a national petition. It is at SecureBordersNow.com," Cruz said. "In just a week, we've had 100,000 people from all over the country sign that petition speaking out to say 'Do not do legalization first. Secure the borders first, fix the problem."
This much ballyhooed amendment does nothing to alter the fact that amnesty would come first and enforcement later - maybe. This bill is even worse than the 1986 amnesty for 2.7 million illegal aliens that never saw the promised enforcement. How can anybody advocat adding 33 million more foreign workers, including the 11 million already here in the next 10 years, to a dismal jobs market when 20 million Americans are unable to find full-time work? It is absolutely disgusting that our government is willing to allow 7 million illegals to keep their jobs in construction, manufacturing, transportation and services while millions of our citizens are being sacrificed in the name of political gain.

Uh, how about posting some of your work?
May 15th, 2008 #3
You can practice for free on your own, why would you volunteer to work for free for someone else? This sets, in my opinion, a bad precedent for both yourself and other artists. We get enough people who ask us to work for free or next to nothing without giving them the idea that it's actually a reasonable expectation.

Some people enjoy being part of something larger, working in a group atmosphere as apposed to by themselves.. Being organized and given a sense of direction can be a huge benifit to artists, not only as far as their productivity but also in how far they push their abilities
I would love to see some of your work Guille, giving you a shout right now

The ParaShoot isn't the first camera of its kind that was ever made and I'm fairly certain it won't be the last. It's a tiny camera that you're supposed to wear around you neck, where it will record random moments of your life from your perspective, day in and day out. The amulet camera works in conjunction with your smartphone, which can be used as a remote control and viewfinder, so you won't have to use your smartphone's shooter or digital camera anymore when you want to take a picture or record a clip of whatever is in front of you.
ParaShoot provides a hands-free recording experience for your convenience and ease of use. The device is slightly bigger than a memory card and is designed to sport customizable cover plates so it'll look more like a fashion accessory or pendant than a mini camera.

When my mother removes frozen vegetables from her chest freezer, she replaces them with clean, water-filled plastic milk bottles. The water freezes and helps to maintain the cold temperature of the freezer.
My family adapted this idea for camping trips. Instead of buying crushed ice, we reuse plastic milk bottles to freeze water, tea or lemonade for sipping while camping. The frozen blocks melt slowly over a weekend, providing cold drinks and keeping the cooler cold and puddle-free.

Wasp Factory
Editorial Staff • West End • 22 Jan 1998
The Wasp Factory is based on Iain Banks' debut novel of the same name which was heavily hyped when it was released in 1984. Booksellers may remember the debut for the clientele it attracted - worryingly quiet student types who would take the book home, read it, enjoy it and then send their indistinguishable friends to buy it. The critics were both impressed and horrified with the book - impressed with the warped imagination which had created it; horrified and shocked at the content. This Malcolm Sutherland stage adaptation met with similarly mixed critical acclaim when it first appeared four years ago. Since then, the production has been somewhat tamed but it still retains the best aspects of the novel, including its devious plot.
The story concerns Frank, a teenager on a remote Scottish island who lives with his strange father and has the unfortunate habit of being responsible for the deaths of his young relatives. He also has an insane brother who has recently escaped his asylum and is returning home, phoning regularly along the way. As Frank reveals his past and the relationships between his father, brother and himself, we discover a possible - and very bizarre - reason for his peculiar behaviour.
The play also highlights the novel s wit, its darkness and its gothic psychomania - but it is the way in which these are represented which is most impressive. Energetic narrative monologue is used as a means of sticking closely to the novel's form, but there are also some inventive theatrical devices. For example, Frank is played simultaneously by Daniel Illsley and Janine Wood, not just for effect, but to highlight a central dual aspect of the story.
The performances are all strong, but the most startling is that of David Gant as Frank's father. His characterisation calls for an incredible range of voices which he produces with uncanny ease, including a wonderfully accurate highland Scottish accent (I say this as a Scotsman myself).
Interwoven with the portrayal of the alarming effects of islandic isolation are moments of real humour which have the audience laughing out loud. And a word about the props. These are minimal but expertly used. One character even appears as a marionette!
The Wasp Factory is definitely not for young children, the squeamish or those who think that anything which isn't Shakespeare isn't theatre. But for the rest of us, and in particular Iain Banks fans, this really is an excellent evening's entertainment.

The findings of this literature review are presented in three major discussions. Literature related to the quality improvement concept is reviewed first, while literature related to the principles of reorganization and reconstruction within a quality improvement environment is reviewed second. Literature related to the interrelationships between quality improvement programs and reorganization and restructuring in hospital settings is reviewed in the third discussion.
Quality improvement is sought in contemporary organizations through the implementation of strategies based on concepts with names such as TQM (total quality management), CQI (continuous quality improvement), and others. These various concepts are highly interrelated, and quality improvement in most organizations is dependent upon strategies that embrace a combination of two or more of these quality improvement concepts (Marszalek-Gaucher & Coffee, 1991, pp. 83-147). A. V. Feigenbaum (1991, pp. 5-6) developed the concept of total quality control (TQC) that underlies many quality management concepts. Karou Ishikawa (1985, pp. 1-13; 1982, p. 99). contributed the concept of quality circles. James Harrington advocates the pursuit of quality through business processes as opposed to production processes. For health care delivery institutions, the most useful conceptual combination involves TQM and CQI (Melum & Sinioris, 1992, pp. 159-224).

Numerical investigations have been made on thermally, mechanically, and thermomechanically driven flows of a weakly compressible gas in a gas centrifuge assuming an axisymmetric continuum flow. The finite difference method developed for these computations is based on the Euler/upwind scheme and provides a numerically stable solution. It is found that an almost cylindrical Couette flow is established in an annulus despite the end effects of the plates and that the two mechanically driven circulations interact with the thermally driven circulations.

With over 2 billion wireless devices (mobile phones) produced every year, the recycling and reuse of these gadgets is an important environmental issue. Todd chats to Perry LaForge of the Device Renewal Forum about how many major companies are now approaching the issue.
The DRF's mission is "to expand the growth of the device renewal market through the development of a common and branded certification process for renewed wireless devices", which means that for consumers, a DRF-certified device will have been properly processed, removing any traces of the previous owners data, and confirms that the phone meets the technical requirements for use on a mobile network. Several major companies, such as Sprint, are joining the scheme and for the sake of the planet, let's hope the DRF is a success.

WANTED: Great gal for great guy.
I love to read other people's descriptions of themselves, "I'm adventurous, charming, I'm sooo great, blah, blah, blah." I suppose cutting to the chase is easier the older you get. I don't want to wast anyone's time and likewise, I don't like games. I am honest and caring and haven't met a good girl out here in ages, call me old-fashion, but I just want to fall in love and have someone fall in love with me in return. Lame? Maybe so, but it's what I want. Is there such a thing anymore? Let's hope. I have a great family, all of which live back east so I am out here on my own. I sometimes wish I would have had a child or two by now, but as the dice fall where they will, not yet. I work in the movie industry and oddly enough, finding someone REAL has not been easy, If you're sensing sarcasm, I dropped some there. Please feel free to drop me a msg, I'm easy-going and eager to talk to you. :)

It's Generally Worth It to Take Benefits at Age 62
Q: My husband is about to turn age 62. He isn't in the best of health. He's been an actor most of his life but he never made much money. (Most actors don't make the kind of money Tom Cruise does!) His annual Social Security statements say he can expect to get a small retirement check of about $500. On the other hand, I've always made quite a bit of money. My Social Security statements say I should get $2,200 per month. So I always assumed my husband would be able to get part of my Social Security. The problem is I'm only 55 years old and won't be eligible for Social Security for seven years. A friend told us my husband should not take his Social Security until he is 66 years old because if he took early retirement now, he would not be able to switch to my benefits later on. Is this true?
A: No, it's not true. Your husband will be able to get some additional "husband's benefits" on your record — once you've signed up for retirement benefits yourself — no matter when he starts his own Social Security.
So I think he should apply for his Social Security at age 62. Some would argue that he'd be ahead to wait until age 66 because at that age he'll get his full Social Security benefit. Instead of $500 monthly, it might be $700 or so. But as I see it, if he waits until age 66, he's throwing away $24,000 ($500 per month for the 48 months between age 62 and 66). He'd have to live long past age 66 to make up the money he'd lose by not taking early retirement. And you said he isn't in the best of health anyway. So I think he should take his Social Security money now, make the most of it while he can, and then get some additional benefits on your record seven years from now when you turn 62.
By the way, your husband might want to think about applying for Social Security disability benefits. The advantage to a disability check is that it pays the same rate as his age 66 Social Security benefit.
Q: I am 53 years old and I have a nervous condition, a bad back, fibromyalgia and high blood pressure. Despite all those problems, I've worked most of my life. But recently, I had to switch to part-time work. I'm now working about 20 hours per week. Can I get Social Security disability benefits to supplement my work income?
A: I never discourage anyone from applying for Social Security disability benefits. It doesn't hurt to fill out an application and see what happens.
But I don't think you should get your hopes up too high. If you are making anywhere near $1,000 per month, the Social Security Administration probably can't classify you as legally "disabled." The key eligibility factor for Social Security disability benefits is not that you have all those medical problems. The key factor is the impact those problems have on your ability to work.
In a nutshell, the law says this: To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must have an impairment that keeps you from doing "substantial work." And the regulations currently define substantial work as any job that pays you $980 or more per month. So if you are making that kind of money, you simply are not eligible for Social Security disability benefits.
But if your medical impairments ever force you to stop working, or reduce your hours to the point where you are making less than $980 monthly, then you should file for Social Security disability benefits immediately. The application process will take about three months and then it would be roughly another three months after that before your benefits begin.

Vintage postcard from WW1 period, depicting the railway bridge in Chernivtsi, destroyed by Russian forces.
Unused postcard in fine condition.
Chernivtsi (Ukrainian: Чернівці; Polish: Czerniowce, Russian: Черновцы) is the administrative center of Chernivtsi Oblast (province) in western Ukraine.
During the 19th and early 20th century, Chernivtsi became a center of both Romanian and Ukrainian national movements. It was also the site of the first Yiddish language conference in 1908, coordinated by Nathan Birnbaum. When Austria-Hungary dissolved in 1918, the city and its surrounding area became a part of the Kingdom of Romania.
Many well-known historical figures were born in the city, including poets and writers Paul Celan, Alfred Kittner, the former Speaker of the Parliament Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the Vienna Secession artist Oskar Laske, physicist Radu Grigorovici, Maria Forescu.
