Do you have a news item for us? Let us know!
1st Amendment Win: Ballot Selfies Totes OK, Court Says
New Hampshire is no stranger to strange political stories, a fact Mother Jones noted about a 2012 race in which two FSP early movers were involved. This time, the issue was whether ballot selfies--a photo you share on social media showing who you voted for--was constitutionally protected speech.
Backstory: A law went into effect on September 1, 2014 making ballot selfies illegal in New Hampshire. A handful of activists and state legislators took ballot selfies during the November election. Attorney and early mover Brandon Ross posted his on Facebook with the tagline: "Come at me, bro."
Big Bro did come at him, and several others, sort of. The Ballot-Selfie Brigade was placed under investigation by the NH Attorney General, but no one was formally prosecuted or charged under the law, which calls for a fine of up to $1,000 per violation. More...
Producing Something at the End
FSP early mover Kristine Boncer not only exerts the fullest practical effort by volunteering for FSP events like PorcFest where she ran registration in 2015, and Liberty Forum where she managed the Courtesy Room this year, or by editing the FSP newsletter, Kristine is also a small business owner and artisan.
The Union Leader recently caught up with Kristine at the 82nd annual League of NH Craftsmen's Fair:
"Kristine Boncer was very still as she slowly and methodically fed her grass-green wool into the spinning wheel. Except for her feet. Those moved in time with the wheel, slowly and surely, with a rolling up and down motion of a cat kneading its blanket before curling up for a nap.
'It is very relaxing,' Boncer said, looking up, but never losing stride. 'I love the tradition of it. It's something my grandmother used to do to clothe her babies.' More...
NH: Top Ten in "Best States for Gun Owners"
Guns&Ammo recently did its annual rating of "Best States for Gun Owners 2015." Last year, New Hampshire came in 25th place. An early mover contacted the magazine about that rating, detailing how they got New Hampshire's wrong. This year, New Hampshire moved up 15 spots, and now rates in the Top 10! Says the early mover: "I still think we should be in the Top 3, but this is still good for attracting movers from nearby northeast states." Live in New England? Love guns? Love liberty? Join the Free State Project, where your gun rights matter!
From the article: More...
Mover Story: Jenn Coffey
I made the move June of 2005. Mover number 108, and clueless. I knew nothing of activism, civil disobedience, lawmaking or speaking up as an individual. I had no idea how I, as one person, could help advance liberty.
I did not truly grasp what freedom is really about, until I made the move. More...
Should Liberty Lovers Leave the United States?
Free State Project president, Carla Gericke debates James Guzman at Panam Post, answering the question: "Should Liberty Lovers Leave the United States?"
Says Gericke: "The solution is not to scatter liberty lovers to the four winds, but, as innovators, to find ways to build a better future together." Read more at PanAm Post.

Free Staters Attend Democrat Hosted Information Session About... Free Staters?
Last night a group of Free Staters attended the Hampton Democrats monthly meeting where Zandra Rice Hawkins from Granite State Progress (GSP) gave a presentation on the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the Free State Project (FSP). As in the past, Rice Hawkins failed to reach out to the FSP to make sure she has the facts.
From the invite email: "Zandra Rice Hawkins will provide an update on the Free State Project and ALEC. If you are not familiar with either of these 'initiatives' you should plan to attend – you will surprised and concerned at the amount of influence these two groups are playing – and hope to play – in New Hampshire. Each of these promises to be VERY educational — pleas (sic) plan to join us."
Joel Valenzuela, blogger and activist at the Rights Brigade, a new liberty outreach venture, wrote about the evening HERE.
Real NH: 100 Things to Do
The Concord Monitor recently posted a list of things to do to discover the "real" New Hampshire. Read it here.
One notable, which is true, and which is another reason New Hampshire is a great pro-liberty destination: "16. See in person every major candidate running for president. As soon as one election is over they'll start showing up campaigning for the next one, even if it's four years off. A great to place to find them is Lindy's Diner in Keene, and be sure to try an order of onion rings when you're there."

Granite Staters Overwhelmingly Support MJ Decrim & Recreational Use
From WMUR: "In the latest WMUR Granite State Poll, released Thursday, 60 percent of Granite Staters support legalization of marijuana for recreational use, and 45 percent strongly support it. Also, 72 percent of those polled favor decriminalization of marijuana, including 54 percent who feel strongly about it.
Support for both legalization and decriminalization has increased sharply since a WMUR Granite State Poll in May. At that point, 54 percent favored legalization and 63 percent favored decriminalization." Read the full article.
Medical marijuana is legal, and dispensaries are slated to start opening in 6-9 months, according to this WMUR report.

FSP Hits 85% of Its 20,000 Goal: On Target to Trigger the Move to New Hampshire
The Free State Project, a mass migration movement to concentrate 20,000 liberty activists in New Hampshire is advancing to the finish line with more than 17,000 participants now signed up. Thousands of activists have and are moving ahead of schedule.
July 24, 2015 (Manchester, NH) – Today, the Free State Project announced that more than 17,000 participants have pledged to move to New Hampshire for more liberty. This mass migration movement aims to concentrate 20,000 liberty activists in the Live Free or Die state.
"Reaching 85% of our goal is a major milestone," said FSP president, Carla Gericke. "As more people become aware of the problems facing this nation, from things like police militarization and misconduct, to the growing national debt and unfunded liabilities, to the perpetual wars, folks are seeking alternatives and safe havens. The Free State Project offers a working solution for like-minded, well-informed people who are passionate about stopping the erosion of our liberties." More...
Welcome to the Freest Place on Earth
Maxim Magazine covers the Porcupine Freedom Festival: "PorcFest is an eight-day party for 1,500 people who don't want the government in their faces. It's a recruiting tool for the Free State Project, an effort to get thousands of libertarians to move to New Hampshire. It's also a kind of model of a radically free society... This was not just a festival but an experiment in a different way of life." Read the full article HERE.
In the Maxim article, reporter Livia Gershon covers the annual newbie shoot (and shoots a gun herself), various talks and vendors, Free Grafton, the Porcupine Realtor, Cop Block, Muslims 4 Liberty, and Buzz's Big Gay Dance Party. Gershon has covered the Free State Project in the past for Aeon Magazine and Vice.
FedGov: Too Big and Too Distant
FSP founder Jason Sorens, author of "Secessionism," recently spoke to OZY. In "The United States of Secession," Sorens is quoted as saying: "... our current government is 'too big and too distant' for everyday people to influence it, and seceding could restore a balance of power."
PLEASE NOTE: This opinion is based on Sorens' academic research, and is provided for informational purposes only. Secession is not a strategy of the FSP, a 501c3 educational organization. That said, early movers pursue different approaches to Liberty in Our Lifetime, and you will find secessionists amongst FSP participants. Want to learn more?

Are Libertarians Crazy Cultists Who Should be Drowned? Playboy Investigates
Playboy attended Freedom Fest in Vegas this past weekend, where the FSP garnered 24 signers, and numerous friends of the Free State Project.
Says the reporter: "I've printed Balko's list of libertarian headlines, and I'm carrying it with me through the convention floor. You're all loons, I tell every libertarian I talk to, and here's the proof. One-hundred-and-forty articles from Salon and Alternet cannot be wrong.
I stop by the table for The Free State Project, where I meet Carla Gericke. The Free State Project is a migration movement that is trying to attract 20,000 libertarians to the state of New Hampshire, and Gericke is its president. When I read her some of the headlines, she laughs.
'We have a left-right paradigm in this country that functions in order to have just those divisions, and libertarians are fiscally conservative and socially liberal, and that makes people's heads explode,' she says."

The Crowd Sourcing of Liberty
Jeffery Tucker writes a wonderful piece about PorcFest. Some choice quotes:
"Well, all these years later, the skeptics of the Free State Project — I was among them — are the ones who have turned out to be completely wrong. New Hampshire has indeed become a wonderful place for the ingathering of liberty-minded people, and they are making a difference politically. But beyond politics, what strikes me most is how the Free State Project has created a vibrant intellectual and social culture for thousands of people. And that culture is spreading outside New Hampshire to the region, the country, and the world."
"The strategy of creating an effective political pressure group has ended up forging a new path for realizing liberty in our lives. My own theory is that it has worked so well because it actually asks something from people and gives people something practical to do. When people actually pick up and move in order to experience a marginal increase in personal liberty, an ideal becomes a living part of their lives, and intensifies personal commitment more."

Politics and Protests of the Biotech Revolution
Recorded: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
For millennia, farmers all over the world have bred crops for their resistance to disease, productivity, and nutritional value. Over the past century, scientists have used increasingly more sophisticated methods for modifying crops at the genetic level. But only since the 1970s have advances in gene-splicing and other aspects of biotechnology upped the ante with the promise of dramatically improved agricultural products. Today, few topics have the power to inspire as much international furor and misinformation as the development and distribution of genetically altered foods. Is public resistance far out of synch with the potential risks? Please join us as Henry Miller, co-author of the new book The Frankenfood Myth, and Bruce Ames, U.C. Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, address this critical 21st century issue.

Is this really something to put in the Rank category? I mean, it's not a rank, it's how you get to it. ~Hakinu (talk | contribs) 23:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thats why i put it in the main part of the ninja rank category. so that it was a parent. Simant (talk) 23:58, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Number Of Exams
Could we out in the Chunin Exams page that there has been at least 8 exams. 4 of them that Kabuto has been a part of, 1 that the konoha 11 took part in, and the one that Temari and Shikamru were preparing.Scott swag (talk) 23:03, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
Sakura's new techniques
When Sakura took the exams again, had she mastered her new chakra enhanced strength and fighting skills, and who did everyone fight, because I didn't hear it mentioned ever. Just curious. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 04:10, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
- The reason you never have heard about it is because it has never been explained. As of now there is no answer to your question. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 06:29, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
Not really important. What's important is that she took it again an' passed along with the other Leaf 11. X29 19:55 November 6 2011.
I was watching an episode of the Chunin Exams Arc. and I think it was Hiruzen who said that different villeges take part in the same exam to build a better relationship, equal amount of ninja per villege that are close by. If thats true than where is Iwa it has no where to go all the villeges that are near it that we know of all go to the konoha exam.Scott sswagg 05:25, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
- I remember it being said only allied villages took part in the exams held in Konoha. Which would be Konoha, Suna, Kusa, Taki, and Oto.--Deva 27 (talk) 05:31, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
So then were does Iwa go those are all the villeges near them?Scott sswagg 05:38, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
- They may just conduct their own chunin exam, without participants from other villages. The third was just talking about Konoha and its allies when he said that.--Deva 27 (talk) 05:44, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
The Leaf Village an' it's allies has their own system for the Chunin Exams. Other villages, don't know their system. For instance, the Hidden Mist Village has their own system for their Genin to graduate which is that all students spar to the death an' you know how it turned out. By the way, thanks a lot Zabuza. X29 20:02 November 6 2011.
10 questions
Can somebody tell me the questions that were given togenin on the 1ist exam? —This unsigned comment was made by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) .
- One of them was the "take it or leave it". Out of the other nine, I think only two were made clear, though I don't remember if it was manga and anime, or anime only. The first one was a trigonometry like question about distance and angle to attack someone, and another question was coded, so the candidate had to crack the code to read the question and then answer it, if I recall. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:27, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
Was Kumo involved in teh Exams in the Manga or just the Anime? And which episode was the political purpose behind the exams explained? That wasn't really covered in the article. Shieldmaiden(talk) 16:00, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
- Kumo wasn't involved in the exams in neither manga or anime.--Deva 27 16:06, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
- The episode you are looking for is number 37. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 16:23, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
They why does it say that there were Kumo nin present in the article?
Shieldmaiden(talk) 13:01, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
- They were added in a flashback as spectators. What he means is that there were no Kumo genin there--Cerez☺ (talk) 13:05, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
Candidates List
Why don't we add a list for all teams who participated? X29 November 6 2011.
It wouldn't serve a purpose. We don't do wasted efforts like that. And please stop replying to year old topics. Look at the date on the posts on the talk page before you reply. Ryne 91 (talk) 17:06, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
Does serve a purpose to me. Why? Maybe someone wanna remember who went to the second an' third stages. An' as for the year old topic, I don't care if it even was last edited over a decade ago. Still gotta say somethin'. X29 November 6 2011.
It doesn't matter if it causes you to win the lottery. It does not benefit the wiki. Thus, it has no reason to be here. It might have reason to be there is Kishimoto gave us a list of every single contestant in the exams, but he hasn't.
And you could at least speak properly. Posting on year old topics is pointless. You don't "gotta say somethin'." That's the worst excuse for resurrecting an old topic that I've ever heard. Ryne 91 (talk) 17:54, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
Didn't say EVERY candidate. I meant the KNOWN candidates. An' nothin's wrong in the way I talk. An' is it bad that I voice my opinion? An' does it benefit the wiki that the wiki even exists? X29 21:59 November 6 2011.
Chunin exams held
On the first of july every year, I don't know if that is the second exam or the first exam of the year but the manga and anime say so from what I remember 188.8.131.52 (talk) 04:17, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Beware of the behavior when using FilesystemIterator::UNIX_PATHS, it's not applied as you might expect.
I guess this flag is added especially for use on windows.
However, the path you construct the RecursiveDirectoryIterator or FilesystemIterator with will not be available as a unix path.
I can't say this is a bug, since most methods are just purely inherited from DirectoryIterator.
In my test, I'd expected a complete unix path. Unfortunately... not quite as expected:
// say $folder = C:\projects\lang
$flags = FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME | FilesystemIterator::CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO | FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS | FilesystemIterator::UNIX_PATHS;
$d_iterator = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($folder, $flags);
echo $d_iterator->getPath();
expected result: /projects/lang (or C:/projects/lang)
actual result: C:\projects\lang

Gabe Myles grew up in Starkville, Miss., watching his father's alma mater Mississippi State play.The three-star athlete led Starkville High School to the Class 5A State Championship game as a junior and earned a scholarship offer from his hometown Bulldogs in the process."It meant a lot," Myles said. "It was my first scholarship offer and being that it was from a team that I'd grown up watching them play. I just had that feeling of I want to play there. It was a special feeling."Myles' father, Eddie, was a four-year letter winner at MSU from 1987-90 but has not pressured his son to follow in his footsteps."He hasn't said too much about it," Myles said. "He wants me to make my own decision and make the decision that is best for me. He doesn't want to influence my decision where I go to school. He wants me to be happy there so wherever I choose he'll be happy with it."Many high schoolers cannot wait to get away from home and attend college elsewhere. But Myles stated that he might not mind sticking around Starkville for the next few years. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Mike Napoli hit a two-run shot and drove in
three, as the Boston Red Sox ensured a positive result in manager John
Farrell's return to Toronto, with a 6-4 decision over the Blue Jays in the
opener of a three-game series at Rogers Centre.
The 50-year-old Farrell led the Blue Jays to a 73-89 mark in 2012 and 154-170
record in two seasons at the helm, but bolted for the vacant BoSox post in
late October.
Will Middlebrooks added an insurance homer, while Jacoby Ellsbury and Pedro
Ciriaco each knocked in a run for the Red Sox, who had won two of three in the
Bronx to begin 2013.
Junichi Tazawa (1-0) allowed a run in the seventh but picked up the win.
Jose Reyes finished a triple shy of the cycle, going 4-for-5 with a solo homer
and two RBI for the Blue Jays, losers in three of four to start the year. Mark
DeRosa also went deep and knocked in the other two runs.
Esmil Rogers (0-1) was charged with the deciding run while recording just two
outs in the eighth.

- "When your dragons were born, our magic was born again."
- ―Pyat Pree to Daenerys Targaryen
The Warlocks are a group of magic practitioners based in the city of Qarth. They gather at the House of the Undying and are recognizable by their blue lips, caused by their custom of drinking a substance known as shade of the evening.
Similar to the Alchemists' Guild of the Seven Kingdoms, the warlocks' power and prestige have waned over the years and some of the Qartheen elite regard them with a certain contempt.
Season 2
After centuries of decline, the magical power of the warlocks grew stronger in the weeks following the hatching of Daenerys Targaryen's dragons. Some time after her arrival in Qarth, the Warlocks, through Pyat Pree, form an alliance with Xaro Xhoan Daxos to kidnap the dragons and Daenerys herself in exchange for their aid in making Xaro the King of Qarth.
Since their magic was strongest in the presence of the dragons, and they were strongest in hers, they planned to keep both her and the dragons prisoner in the House of the Undying. Daenerys, however foils their plans when her dragons kill Pyat Pree. She escapes the House of the Undying afterwards and, shortly after, leaves Qarth by ship.
Season 3
Several weeks later, a warlock with the appearance of a young girl attempts to assassinate Daenerys when she arrives in Astapor. The attack, however, is foiled by Ser Barristan Selmy, though the would-be assassin escapes.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The White House announced Sunday it has met its goal to make the Healthcare.gov website operate smoothly for most users by Nov. 30.
"The bottom line is healthcare.gov on December first is night and day from where it was October first," said Jeffrey Zients, the president's appointee to fix the website's problems. "The site is now stable and operating at its intended capacity at greatly improved performance."
MORE| Continuing coverage of the Affordable Care Act
When the site - which allows people to compare private plan benefits and costs before buying an insurance policy - launched Oct. 1, millions of people were disappointed by slow or frozen pages, an inability to log in, and incorrect or missing information. The White House tapped Zients to lead a team to fix the site.
At the beginning of November, Zients said the site had an "up time" of just 43%. As of Nov. 30, the site's up time was 95%.
"We have a much more stable system that's reliably open for business," he said in a Sunday conference call with reporters.
After hardware updates and bug fixes that continued through the weekend, the federal health exchange site now has the capacity to serve 50,000 people at a time, for a total of 800,000 people a day, according to a report issued Sunday by the Department of Health and Human Services.
That figure is "conservative," Zients said, because they figured it using an eight-hour day, rather than a 24-hour day.
"We needed to get the team working with the speed and urgency of a high-tech company," Zients said. Just as a high-tech company accountable to shareholders would, the team has focused in the past month on daily progress reports to ensure people know what's being done to fix the site. At least 50 bug fixes were made just last night, bringing the number of fixes up to more than 400.
According to the administration, Zients' repair team has so far:
• Made hundreds of software fixes, upgraded hardware, and monitored the system to make improvements;
• Stabilized the site at its original intended capacity; and
• Improved overall metrics, which means the site is working well for most users.
A new hardware upgrade made Friday quadrupled the registration capacity, Zients said, and response times are under one second with an error rate below 1%.
Over the holiday weekend, "Traffic has been significantly higher than a typical weekend," Zients said, but the website has handled the traffic smoothly.
Julie Bataille, director of the office of communications for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the team continued to work over the weekend on the back-end of the site, to make sure that insurers receive subsidy payments after people buy plans, as well as to make sure the plans receive correct information.
"As we said about five weeks ago, we were seeing only about 30% of users being able to enroll," Bataille said. That percentage is now up to 80%.
However, Bataille explained that there will always be a significant percentage of people who will need additional help navigating the site, but not necessarily because of problems with the site. Some people have complex family situations, and others aren't comfortable using the Internet for purchases in general.
"It's important to remember that there are and will remain a significant number of people for whom online is not their preferred method of enrollment," she said. Those people will be able to enroll with paper applications, in person, over the phone and, in some cases, directly through an insurer."
Bataille said it could take several days for people to see the results of some improvements, such as for those who lost their login information or were locked out of the system.
Zients explained a new feature of the site: If someone comes to HealthCare.gov and the site is at maximum capacity, the person will be able to leave an e-mail address. When traffic clears and there is space for another visitor, that person will receive an e-mail telling them they can log back in without a wait.

Manyoni District Council has introduced school demonstration farms in tobacco estates to prevent bees from using tobacco flowers in production of honey since tobacco contains nicotine toxin.
The crops introduced in tobacco estates are sesame, millets, sunflowers and cotton.
In a telephone interview with The Guardian yesterday, Manyoni District Executive Director Fortunata Malya said the district had decided to establish the demonstration farms so that beekeepers and farmers in Manyoni District could slowly shift from tobacco farming to other crops.
"Our aim is to help farmers shift from tobacco farming to other cash crops to improve honey and beeswax production and help increase nectar and pollen for honey and beeswax production and uplift people's livelihoods," she said.
The district has decided to establish this type of farming because tobacco has high quantity of nicotine toxin that can affect honey production as well as the market that Tanzania has overseas.
"As the district we don't want to lose the market we have in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Italy and other African countries," she said noting that the district would continue educating farmers about the disadvantages of tobacco farming in the beekeeping sub-sector.
Presently, Manyoni District has a good environment for producing bee products because there are many plants that produce nectar and pollen that attract honeybees.
Apart from that honey produced in Manyoni is of high quality and pure at its source. "If farmers are trained in best ways of handling bee products, it can get a high price in the domestic and global market if the quality is maintained until it is used," she said.
On the other hand, the farmers are trained to conserve natural vegetation within their areas so that bees can have enough nectar and pollen from flowers for honey and beeswax production.
About 75 per cent of honey produced in Tanzania is consumed within the country.
"There is a need to educate them about this issue because honey has a lot of benefits because it can be sold for making honey beer and honey wine, as well as food and medicine," she said.
There is also the potential market for honey in large towns, hotels, airlines and tourist centres if the honey is well packaged by producers.

Library Director retires after 23 years
Carol Pelz, Director of the Grandview Heights Public Library since October 1985, retires on July 31, 2008.
Pelz leaves a rich legacy of progressive leadership, innovative advances, and collaboration, establishing a unique reputation for the Library in the Grandview Heights community, the City of Columbus, and the State of Ohio.
The Library and the community wish her all the best in her retirement. She is succeeded by current Assistant Director Mary Ludlum, who assumes the directorship on August 1, 2008.
Pelz received her MLS from Indiana University. Prior to coming to the Grandview Library, her positions included:
- Director of three public libraries of various sizes in Indiana
- Manager of Fine Arts and Audio Visual at Allen County Public Library (Fort Wayne, IN)
- Manager of the Audio Visual Department Columbus Metropolitan Library (Columbus, OH), where she also coordinated collection development.
During her tenure as Director, the Grandview Library has:
- Passed numerous levies
- Conducted three building revisions
- Established the Grandview Library Endowment Fund & the Grandview Heights Public Library Foundation
- Grown from an annual circulation of 450,000 to more than 1.5 million
- Instituted many public programs & services with a focus on technology for public service excellence.
Through Pelz's leadership, vision and dedication to progressive service, the Grandview Library has become one of the best public libraries in the state of Ohio and in the nation. It has ranked in the top ten of libraries in its class and falls regularly in the 99th percentile of the Hennen's American Public Library Ratings.
Pelz has made presentations on digitization issues, led library technology projects and was an early adopter of automation. She, along with three other Library Directors, founded the Central (Ohio) Library Consortium (CLC) in 1988. Funded by an LSTA grant, the CLC has grown to nine libraries on SirsiDynix Horizon and offers numerous databases, cooperative purchasing and digitization services to the membership. The CLC was among the first in Ohio to institute daily delivery among the members to share materials and to do cooperative licensing of databases.
Pelz administered the CLC and has written several LSTA grants for the membership, including:
- Photohio.org, initially a collection of local yearbooks and the photo archive of a major area newspaper which is no longer published
- Mid-Ohio Library Digital Initiative (MOLDI), a collection of OverDrive's digital books, audiobooks, music, and video. The collection is shared with 12 libraries in Ohio and Kentucky. This site has won awards for its promotional efforts and is one of the most successful projects in the country.
Pelz expanded the Grandview Library's tradition of leading the field in technology & methodologies new to libraries as well as maintained its identity as a friendly, welcoming center for the community.
The Grandview Library is a destination place—physically and online—thanks to Pelz's creativity, dedication, leadership, vision and energy.
We extend our appreciation for her dedication and service to the Library, and we wish her well in future endeavors.

Snake Summons Spell
this wiki
- "The "Snake Summons" spell originated in India and is often illicitly used today by wizards who are called by the Muggle moniker, "Snake Charmers"."
- —Description[1]
The Snake Summons Spell[1] (Serpensortia) is a Transfiguration spell that can be used to conjure a snake. It is illegally used by Indian Snake Charmers. It is taught to 6th years at Hogwarts.
The Snake Summons Spell originated from India, where it is often illegally used by wizards who are called "Snake Charmers" by the Muggle society.[1]
It was used by Draco Malfoy while engaging in a practice duel against Harry Potter in 1992 in the Duelling Club, after Severus Snape whispered the advice to Draco. This prompted Harry to speak to the snake, discovering for the first time that he was a Parselmouth and causing some other students to suspect that he was the Heir of Slytherin. It is very strange that Malfoy is able to cast this spell in his second year as it summons a live creature, a very advanced form of magic not taught at Hogwarts until sixth year, however, this may have been because it seems to be a sort of curse.[2]
Serpens is Latin for "serpent". Ortus is the past participle of the Latin verb oriri "to be created".[3]
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the counter-spell of Serpensortia is shown to be Vipera Evanesca. Professor Snape used it to vanish the snake Draco conjured. It should also be interesting to note that, while the book says the Serpensortia snake is long and black, the film version's is a cobra. However, althrough it is not mentioned, it is possible that the book version also is a cobra as black coloured cobras also exist. It is also funny to note the counter-spells incantation is Vipera Evanesca as the Latin name of the common adder used in Harry Potter: Spells is Vipera berus.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor in 1998 Bellatrix Lestrange may have used this spell to choke Fenrir Greyback.
- It is possible that this spell or a variant of it can also be used to transform objects into snakes. Lord Voldemort transformed a fiery rope into a serpent in 1996, and Severus Snape did the same two years later. Both serpents were described as black, matching the Serpensortia snake´s colour.

Article about the quality of Body Jewelery and why many of you get infections when you do everything right.
Cheaper quality items can have a lot of nickel in them to cause a nickel reaction in your body like seen above. Sometimes they even use what is commonly known as pot metal which is total garbage and barely suited for little figurines or key chains in vending machines. In Glass body Jewelry there are major issues of strength, where one piece has a high strength the other may be prone to shatter, which needless to say is not good in your piercing. ;-)Read More

Comments On Jun 05, 2012:I wanted to try something that was made to be ridden with. The Ogio 1650 baja pack had very little pocket space. There was 1 large pocket and a net inside that large pocket. I like to keep my things separated so I know where to find them in a hurry. Not packed all together. The bladder is only 70oz which isn't enough for something labeled "baja". Not to mention this thing is uncomfortable to wear. Spend a few extra dollars and get the best thing out there. The Ogio flight vest. Best money I ever spent.

The Golden Decade Photography Exhibit at Mumm Napa
The California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco was one of the few institutions in the United States to offer an extensive photography program during the years immediately following WWII. The program was established in 1945 by Ansel Adams and directed and developed by Minor White. It was the first academic department in the country to teach photography as fine art, placing equal emphasis on aesthetic sensitivity and technical expertise. The quality of instruction was unmatched anywhere: teachers included Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Imogen Cunningham, and Lisette Model. The Golden Decade exhibits work by over 20 artists who emerged from the first ten years of the CSFA program, including the influential photographers Pirkle Jones, Ruth Mandel, Ira Latour, John Upton, David Johnson, and Philip Hyde. The school was renamed the San Francisco Art Institute in 1961 and continues to train and develop extraordinary artists.

Aging Well: Choosing a Nursing Home
Finding the right nursing home can help you or your loved one feel safe and cared for.
A good first step to choosing a nursing home is to make a list of homes you might be interested in. Talk to family, friends, doctors, and others to get recommendations of good nursing homes.
If you can, it's good to plan ahead so you have time to learn all you can about the nursing homes you're interested in. If you need to make a decision quickly, try to visit the nursing homes on your list at least once before you choose. Make sure you understand the cost and payment options for each nursing home.
Choosing the right nursing home is a very personal process. If you're helping someone else who is of sound mind, the final choice is up to that person.
If your loved one isn't mentally capable of making a decision, another person (maybe you) needs to be given the legal right to choose for him or her. By making your loved one as much a part of the process as possible, you can help him or her find the right place to live.
If this is the case, choosing a nursing home can be a delicate process. A nursing home that seems perfect to you might not seem that way to your loved one. He or she may be having a hard time leaving home. Your loved one may feel sad or frustrated at what feels like a loss of control over his or her life.
As you look at each nursing home, keep in mind that there are no federal requirements for how many employees a nursing home has to have. Ask questions to make sure that there are enough nurses and other staff to give you or your loved one the care you need.
Test Your Knowledge
I can be sure to get the care I need by choosing a nursing home with the federally required number of staff.
This answer is incorrect.
There are no federal standards for how many staff a nursing home should have. But you can get a good idea whether there are enough staff by visiting the nursing home and talking with its representatives, residents, and staff.
This answer is correct.

Visiting a nursing home is the best way to find out if it's right for you or your loved one. People you know and trust may recommend nursing homes that they like. The best way to see if the nursing home, the residents, and the staff feel right to you is to go there in person.
If you can, visit the nursing homes on your list with your family. It may be helpful to keep written notes about each nursing home. You may want to visit each one more than once.
You may also want to try just dropping by the nursing home so you can see what it's like on a normal day. While you're there, ask for a copy of the most recent inspection report.
Test Your Knowledge
As long as someone I trust has recommended a nursing home to me, that's all I need to know to make my choice.
This answer is incorrect.
The best way to know if a nursing home is right for you is by visiting it yourself. While you're there, make sure that the nursing home is inspected regularly.
This answer is correct.
The best way to know if a nursing home is right for you is by visiting it yourself. While you're there, make sure that the nursing home is inspected regularly.
As you look at the choices before you or your loved one, pay special attention to the cost of each nursing home, how each one feels to you, where it's located, and the levels of nursing care it provides. Does the nursing home provide enough help with daily tasks? Is 24-hour nursing care available?
Answering the following questions can help you make the best possible decision:
Does the nursing home feel right to you or your loved one?
- Is the nursing home clean and odor-free? Are there smoke detectors and sprinklers? Are there handrails where you would need them?
- Do the residents seem clean and comfortable? Is the staff responsive and friendly to them? How long does it take for a resident's call lights to be answered?
- Are individual rooms available, or will you share with another resident? Can you bring your own furnishings? Will you have your own bathroom, or are these shared?
- Do residents with special needs, such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease, live in separate areas?
- Does the nursing home have a social director who plans events for the residents? Are religious services held? Is a hairdresser or barber available?
Can the nursing home provide the kind of care you need?
- Will your doctor be able to direct your care? If not, find out how often the nursing home's medical director personally visits each resident.
- Can you see the state licenses for both the nursing home and the administrator? Both should be licensed in the state where the nursing home is located.
- Can you see a copy of the nursing home's most recent state inspection report?
Does the nursing home have adequate, qualified staff?
- Does the nursing home staff have experience caring for people with your unique needs?
- Is the nursing home able to retain qualified staff members? One good way to find out is to ask how much staff turnover there is.
- What is the education level of the staff? Does the staff get regular educational training?
- Does the nursing home screen potential employees to make sure that it doesn't hire people with a history of abusing others?
How will you pay for your stay?
- How much does the nursing home cost? Price can change depending on the nursing home and the type of care offered. Talk with your family, social workers, or eldercare agencies in your community about your payment options. If you have concerns about how you'll pay for a nursing home, talk to representatives from Medicare and/or Medicaid.
- Think about your payment options:
- Many people pay for nursing home services with their own money.
- Some people have long-term care insurance that helps cover some costs.
- Medicaid and Medicare offer resources for people who qualify.
- Don't cancel your health insurance. You can use it to pay for hospital care, doctor services, or medical supplies in the nursing home.
Is it the right location?
- If you plan to have family and friends visit you, think about choosing a nursing home that's close by and easy for them to visit.
Test Your Knowledge
As long as a nursing home feels good to me, that's all I need to make my decision.
This answer is incorrect.
There are a lot of things to think about before you choose a nursing home. How it feels to you is important. But make sure it has a good safety record, that it can deliver care to someone with your specific needs, and that you can afford it.
