The color and pattern of this bedspread are great. In winter it definitely needs to be used in conjunction with a blanket, as it is thin and wouldn't provide enough warmth on its own. The real disappointment for me is that it's a hair MAGNET! My dog and cats sleep on the bed with us and their hair really clings to this. With our old cotton duvet cover you could just shake or brush the hair off but this fabric and the quilt weave don't allow this, the hair really clings. And when I washed it, the fabric and thread kind of pilled up, I didn't check the label but I'm guessing there is a synthetic fabric blended in there, I don't think it's just cotton. We will probably just use this to throw over our regular duvet during the day to keep the pet hair off the bed as after one wash it doesn't look very presentable as a decorative bedspread. Great value though and would probably work if you have a pet-free home.
I orderd the king size in ivory and was very disappointed with the quality. First, the quilt says it is made of all cotton but the back of it is 100% polyester. Secondly, the quilt had numerous pieces of colored thread trapped underneath the thin cotton fabric on the top that just showed through enough so it looked as if it was stained all over. The cotton fabric was maybe 150 thread count at the most and quite thin. I would not recommend buying this product, especially in the lighter colors. This is not a good value for the money. I will be returning mine.
I received this and immediately returned it. I ordered the chocolate and it looked faded like a worn denim material. I was looking for true dark chocolate. very disappointed.
I bought this quilt because it said 100% cotton, backing, flling and material, When I recieved the quilt in the mail it said 100% polyester backing. Not what I wanted. I contacted Overstock and I was hoping they would update the decription but they haven't.
I bought the set in chocolate. Very unhappy about the result. First, the reverse side for quilt and shams is made of polyester not cotton as described. Second, the fabric is very poor quality, color is dull and the craftsmanship is terrible. Overall, the product look cheap and bad.
I was surprised by how different this quilt looks in person compared to the photo of it on the site. It appears to be fluffy and almost to have a sheen (which would indicate high quality cotton) but, unfortunately it doesn't possess any of the appeal of the photo. I also liked it as it looked as if it would work well in a more contemporary styled room, but it appears "shabby chic" when you get it. I am returning this product, very unsatisfied.
I was very pleased with this purchase. I bought the chocolate color and paired it with a very tailored ivory bed skirt. It doesn't look "country" at all. I bought it for my guest room and really really like it
I recieved this item pretty fast. The discription for this item was pretty acurate, however, it wasn't as soft as it was described. Still a very good purchase.
I bought this quilt trying to match a very dark chocolate color already used in the room. I realize it is difficult to "match" colors - especially when buying sight unseen - but based on reviews of this quilt being a "dark" chocolate, I purchased it. This may be splitting-hairs, but I would describe the color as more "milk" chocolate - slightly lighter than the chocolate of a Hershey's bar. All that said, it was such a high quality quilt I decided to keep it. It is very well made and beautiful in its simplicty.
I was looking for something for a guest room that was high quality but with a more neutral look. This quilt was perfect and works will with other pillows and shams. Great quality - nice and heavy but not so heavy that it makes for uncomfortable sleeping.
The quilt is very warm and comfortable. It has a nice clean and tidy look to it as well.
Just what I was looking for. Great quality for the price.
I've had this for a couple of years now. This is one of the nicest quilts or blankets I've ever bought. It is not real light weight, but not too heavy either. And it washes up amazingly every time! It will shrink as 100% cotton tends to do, but not a lot. It is very well made & so are the shams that come with it. And it's very pretty on the bed also. The only complaint I have is it doesn't cover my extra deep mattress down to the box spring. But I use it under a bedspread or comforter so it's not a problem. But if you are looking to cover your whole bed, it won't. I have a queen size bed & I bought the full/queen. If you need it bigger I'd buy the next size up, King.
I get so many compliments on this set. It's light, soft, and attractive. I can use it over another lightweight silk blanket for the perfect summer weight blanket
Bought this in 2011 and after many washings it still holds up!
Well priced and very nice quality.
Wanted a mid weight coverlet and this is it.
is nice set and soft but do not look nice in my bed:(
Heavier than expected. really enjoy
Good quality. Sturdy yet soft.

Petition Tag - education
31. Repeal Bill 10
Also, principles of said schools have no authority in this matter either - it all rests in the hands of students. It also prevents parents from being notified about the clubs and activities their children are participating in - alienating them from each other.
This goes against a Supreme Court decision (Loyola vs. Quebec), Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and Article 18(4) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
32. DCA Warriors Cherishing All Children Equally 2016
Following a consultation process involving its 8,000 members leading children's advocacy group DCA Warriors in partnership with KOD Lyons have launched a policy document for its members for the 2016 General Election campaign. The document can be viewed below, and is an important grassroots response to the need for children's rights to be a priority.
DCA Warriors – Cherishing All Children Equally 2016.
We ask those looking to be the next leaders of Ireland to honour the words written in the 1916 Proclamation which "declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally" and that "no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity or rapine."
The DCA Warriors was established in February 2012. We currently have over 8,000 members. The group gives information and support to parents of children with special needs [SN] and/or serious illness [SI] applying for Domiciliary Care Allowance, Carers Allowance, Disability Allowance and Carers Benefit.
We expanded our mission, and are now committed to ensuring all children in Ireland with special needs are given their right to a full education and other rights. Our children deserve to have their dreams realised of a future where they will be a productive member of our society.
Our Election campaign is focussed upon ensuring that the rights of children with special needs and those of their families are fully vindicated.
Our 8,000 plus members are asking election candidates to ensure the following policy commitments are implemented in the next Dáil. In addition individual members will have the facility to include a further two individual policy pledges they are seeking which reflects their own circumstances and concerns.
33. Ontario Math Petition Number 2
For over 10 yrs. elementary students have struggled with a poor math curriculum, confusing texts and convoluted teaching methods.
Families have paid thousands of dollars to tutoring centres or tutors. A 2 tier system has become entrenched in Ontario, as many families cannot pay tutors and have watched their children fall further and further behind.
34. Mandate Low-Income School Outreach by University of Michigan Students
Student outreach programs at the University of Michigan that target these disadvantaged schools help resolve this problem, but participation in these efforts is dismal compared to what the student body is capable of.
The implementation of a new graduation requirement, mandating that students participate in at least one outreach trip to a school in a low-income area, would impose minimal costs on the University and its students but would have a tremendous positive impact on the goals and hopes of these underserved children.
Help make these dreams a reality! 27,407 college students making a small effort can go a long way!
35. Save Dorintosh Central School
To close a school when numbers show the area is growing doesn't seem to make any sense.
Moving the Dorintosh and Rapid View students to the Meadow Lake schools will cause the K-4 schools to operate at over-capacity which will cause problems of its own.
36. End Fallacious and Discriminatory "Non-Resident" Classification of College Students
Tuition literacy entails regularly monitoring your account for erroneous fees and inaccuracies.
For convenience, federal student loan funding is automatically applied by the University.
If students assume they are of resident status, then resident students would not know to watch for erroneous "Non-Resident" fees being applied to their accounts, or students may make oversight of the entries, or may not have an understanding without previous college experience.
Standard University policy is to automatically classify all Graduate students as "Non-Resident" for ambiguous "tuition purposes."
Whether you are a resident continuing directly from Undergraduate studies to a Graduate program at the same University, or a resident returning to Graduate studies after a break between degrees, all resident Graduate students are classified as "Non-Resident" status until completing an "Application for Residency".
This means you will be charged exorbitant "Non-Resident" fees regardless of a pre-existing status as a resident.
Your University will apply such charges unless you complete an "Application for Residency" despite the fact that completing an "Application for Residency" entails confirming "Non-Resident" status before being admitted to your University as a resident.
Students are only informed of the reclassification of their resident status to "Non-Resident" via a paper acceptance letter issued through uncertified USPS mail.
Students are not made aware of the exorbitant debt that results from "Non-Resident" status.
The institution expects that because a letter is sent, the student has been adequately notified regardless of whether the student actually received the letter.
The detrimental economic importance of the "Non-Resident" policy is not made clear and apparent by the University to students.
Residents are likely to assume they are of resident status at the University without having to prove residency.
Otherwise, a non-resident would have no need for an "Application for Residency" unless applying for Residency.
If you are already a resident, the "Non-Resident" policy is fallacious and discriminatory in its application to you.
An internet keyword search for Non-Resident Classification returns Universities' policies as automatic reclassification for residents as "Non-Resident", and it is the students' responsibility to prove otherwise.
Further, undocumented residents are ineligible to apply for Undergraduate or Graduate residency at Universities until attaining citizenship.
Therefore, the discriminatory "Non-Resident" policy serves to economically bar undocumented students of lower socio-economic status (SES) from seeking and attaining an affordable college education.
Such erroneous "Non-Resident" fees applied to residents contribute to the inflated cost of college education in the United States and the misrepresentation of student demographics.
The policy negatively affects students attending college to work in community civil services such as teachers, law enforcement, and politicians.
37. Allow dual-enrollment for Autistic Students to Specialist Schools
We call on the State and Federal Governments to make changes to the criteria for Autistic students with IQs over 70 to be able to have funded, dual-enrollment options.
Parents of children who have Asperger's or High Functioning Autism do not have any choice but to send their children to main-stream schools or home school them. For some, this may be suitable, even preferable, but for many and perhaps the majority of these children the experience of main-stream is disastrous both academically and psychologically. The views expressed in this petition have this common alarming theme. Their children are not getting the education they are entitled to in an environment that is safe for them.
Please sign our petition to show your support for dual-enrollment options and end this discrimination based on IQ and language scores, because IQ does not determine the level of Autism.
38. My Care
How would you like to have funds available to you that won't cost you a penny? The funds I am talking about will be dedicated for the sole purpose of social welfare and the betterment of our society. These funds will come out of the total amount you pay as income taxes to the government. Imagine, a small amount of your taxes being available to you for making the world a better place. You can either donate the funds to any charity of your choice or even establish your own charitable organization to improve any aspect of your society, which you deem to be in need of development or relief.
My aim is to bring about a social change – a change that brings a paradigm shift in our outlook. It is quite apparent, from the present state that our society is in, that there is a crucial need to give care to our ever apathetic society.
This is an introductory attempt to start creating those necessary changes and with this I am introducing My Care to you! I want you to start reading the book with some idea as to what I wish to communicate to everyone and what you should expect. The book is available on Amazon and the link is on the website- www.mycarethebook.com.
Petition Guide:
This campaign has always meant to be a global one and it is the wish of the author to ask the residents of each country who would like to support the My Care campaign in their own country to supply the addresses (in case of UK being; The House of Commons) of their own country and send it to my email.
The information provided will be used to create a petition similar to that of the UK. This way every participating country can have a petition connected to this link for voting.
The global petition is for the rest of residents living in countries where the implementation of My Care cannot take place at present, but want to show their support for the cause!
Please send your addressee information to: firstname.lastname@example.com
39. Academic Freedom for all Public School Students and Teachers in Florida
So how do you secure the benefits of recognizing Almighty God by denying his existence to children? How do we perfect our government that our framer Benjamin Franklin recognized Nations rise and fall by the continence of Almighty God?
How do we insure domestic tranquility when nearly 90% of Americans recognize a Creator God and every State Constitution acknowledges Almighty God? How do maintain public order with The Theory of Evolution as the only truth that recognizes no Creator and therefore promotes and endorses the Religion of Atheism.
Finally how do guarantee Equal Civil and Political Rights to all by not allowing the Academic Freedom of Teacher and Students to discuss our Intelligent Design and our Theory of Creation?
Academic Freedom is the only way to stop brainwashing the impressionable minds of children that there is no God of Creation. The State of Florida Public Education cannot show hostility towards those who believe in Almighty God over those who do not believe thus preferring the religion of Atheism and Human Secularism with our Tax Dollars.
We must present the most update scientific discoveries and allow the Academic Debate of the Theory of Creation, Intelligent Design, Biologos, and the Theory of Evolution in Science Classroom in discussions between Student and Teacher to cultivate critical thinking.
40. Request to remove ODD BATCH in MBBS
They are not allowed to attend classes and hence will lose 6 months of Training. As per the rules of MCI, a student has to undergo teaching and training for 18 months to appear for the 2nd year examination. Hence this was done to prepare the student for the 2nd year examination.
Since the batch of 2014 was the first one to have digital evaluation, due to some issues the results were announced late (9th October, 2015) hence it is advisable to implement a new supplementary system like any other medical universities (Kasturba Medical College, Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, Andhra Pradesh NTR Medical University, etc.) which can allow students to join the regular batch. As per MCI rules, Supplementary exam can be conducted and reports say that they are reducing teaching staff from next year. So we need this implemented from the Batch of 2014 itself as students will be lagging behind by 3 months i.e., from mid-October to mid-January (around 60-70 working days). Special classes can be taken only in the 2nd year and can continue with the regular batch later, instead of keeping these students in this additional batch for all the years.
This will provide a better atmosphere for the students to successfully complete this long course of MBBS and enter PG Course much earlier than expected.
One should keep in mind that the main goal is to prepare students to study medicine effectively. One should love to learn and not feel it like a burden.
41. Time to tax all religious organizations (Canada)
I also humbly ask that all charities that spend less than 80% of their collected monies on their actual target be removed from tax exempt status.
42. Make PUBLIC education negotiations PUBLIC
These negotiations and the many months that are spent on them have a great effect on the public, families and our children. We have the right to know what really goes on in these discussions. Even union members are only privy to their union leaders' opinions on the discussions and have no other first hand information to base their own opinions on.
All sides of these debates claim that they don't want to negotiate in the media, yet they all do, in such a way that the public only hears about biased attacks recounted by those who are invited to attend. THEY MUST negotiate in situations where exact minutes or video recordings of proceedings are available for public viewing online.
There is no reason for one of our most important public systems to be negotiated in secret like a corporate merger. MAKE OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION NEGOTIATIONS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
**This petition is a necessary first step in a process towards public education transparency and reform.**
43. BringSMAback
The semester (four block) program has been replaced with the same program available in every other public school. The academic program is now pre-empted by the infamous IB program, where regular, self-motivated students appear to be "also rans". The word HONOR no longer appears paramount in the code of the school as decisions are based upon other, often undefined criteria. We are no longer ranked as the example high school that students are proud to attend.
We no longer follow the premises upon which the school was founded. We are not held as the charter school model any longer. We want to take our school back! We want the school to return to the traditions and values upon which the school was founded!
The undersigned students, former students, parents, relatives and friends want SMA to return to the school as it was designed, established and admired, rather just another school with uniforms!
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to bring Sarasota Military Academy back to its original glory.
44. Nominate Edhi for Nobel Peace Prize
Edhi is a world renowned philanthropist and a founder of Edhi Trust that provides the biggest ambulance service in the world. Edhi provides free medical services in disaster struck areas within and outside Pakistan regardless of religion, color and race.
His highest virtue apart from his free services in providing health care, education, boarding and funeral services to weak and needy is his defiance to radical groups that expect him to limit his unconditional assistance on ideological divide lines and support for women's empowerment.
Edhi's efforts have been acknowledged by the Government of Pakistan that has bestowed its highest civil award to him.
45. Addysg Gymraeg yn Wrecsam / Welsh-medium education in Wrexham
There is growing demand for Welsh-medium education in Wrexham and we call on the Council to assess future demand by conducting a survey similar to that in 2007, when parents of two-year-old children in the county were questioned. This showed that 44% of parents would send their children to a Welsh-medium school if it was within two miles of their home. As a result Ysgol Bro Alun was built to accommodate the demand but it is now already oversubscribed.
46. Opposing Item #29 of Wisconsin K-12 Omnibus Bill 2015
The bill attempts to impose government control over a private entity by stating no school district can voluntarily join an athletic association unless such a rule is enacted.
Please note signing the petition requires an email address. If you share an email address with another person in your household simply add a number 2 just before the @symbol in your entry / signature where asked for your email address
Text of the K-12 Omnibus bill as proposed by the Joint Finance Committee on May 19, 2015:
Participation in Athletics and Extra-Curricular Activities. Require a school board to permit a pupil who resides in the school district to participate in interscholastic athletics or extracurricular activities on the same basis and to the same extent as pupils enrolled in the district, if the pupil is enrolled in one of the following: (a) a home-based private educational program; (b) a private school located in the district; (c) an independent "2r" charter school located in the district; or (d) a virtual school. Provide that a pupil who is enrolled in a home-based private educational program and is determined by the public school or school board to be ineligible to participate in interscholastic athletics because of inadequate academic performance would be considered ineligible to participate. Specify that a pupil attending a private school or an independent "2r" charter school could only participate in a sport that the private school or charter school does not offer.
Provide that a school district could not be a member of an athletic association unless the association required member school districts to permit home-based, private, charter, and virtual charter pupils to participate in athletic activities in the district.
Provide that a school board may charge participation fees to a non-public pupil who participates in interscholastic athletics or extracurricular activities, including fees for uniforms, equipment, and musical instruments, on the same basis and to the same extent as these fees are charged to pupils enrolled in the district.
Under the "No child left behind" Act students have been pressured to only pass EOG/EOC, have had courses on how to pass them and even students scores affect how much (if any) of a pay increase teachers get.
We Demand that EOG/EOC be removed and speak for the overwhelming majority of Americans that want to get rid of EOG/EOC.
48. Change the British National Anthem
If the current government is serious about change for the people then let them show it by removing a out dated song and replacing it with one that makes us all proud to be British.
49. Safer outdoor play area for West Walker Primary School
I am resorting to a petition as the school is unwilling to accept responsibility for the injuries and I would like to show how concerned we are as parents with regards to our children's safety.
Replacement or removal of the current play area would give us much reassurance that our children are not at risk of serious injury whilst in the care of the school.
Please show your support.
50. Stop the Strike for Halton Schools
This year grade 9 students will move on to grade 10 and will have to do the EQAO test, none will be prepared and all the marks will just reflect back onto the Ontario curriculum and our teachers. Many students want to excel and do the best they can through high school to move onto University.
Having a teachers strike may not look good and reflect well on a resume or an application to another school. Also as everyone knows sports are going on throughout the year and are going on right now, many students have worked hard to earn money to play the sport they love, to become apart of the schools. However if the year does end early many students won't have a chance to play anymore and many won't get the money they worked hard for back.
If you want to do what is right for this generation of kids and young adults you should not put any of the Halton area schools on strike for reasons that do not require a strike.
51. Free Alireza Hashemi, Head of Iranian Teachers Organization, Sentenced To 5 Years
ILNA quotes a spokesperson for the organization saying that in 2010, the head of the organization was handed a five-year prison sentence for what he described as "pursuing the rights of teachers and families who visit jailed teachers".
The report indicates that he was charged with "assembly and collusion against national security" and "propaganda against the regime".
Hashemi was reportedly arrested on Sunday April 19 at his home.
ILNA writes that Hashemi was previously arrested in 2006 at a teachers' protest in front of Parliament. He was reportedly sentenced to three years in jail, but the sentence was withdrawn upon appeal.
Teachers across Iran have been engaged in widespread protests in recent months, demanding that their wages be brought into line with those of other government employees.
52. Free Prescriptions For Full-Time Students
This is happening to alot of young adults. Your education suffers. It affects performance, along with physical and mental ability. This could be YOUR children. If I find it difficult at 31 years old, anyone can.
53. Anti Bullying Law Review! Stop Encouraging Bullies!
54. Improved access for performing arts professional training for Scottish students
Some of the courses are BA Honours degree courses over three years and some are Professional diplomas in dance or musical theatre also over three years. At present, only students on the BA Honours degree courses are able to apply for a student loan through SAAS.
The diploma courses are of a high standard (level 6 English qualifications framework, level 8 Scottish SQA framework), with external validation from Trinity college London, accreditation by the Council for Dance Education and Training, at institutions with excellent reputations in the industry and excellent employment records. Students on many of the diploma courses are able to opt to 'top up' their diploma to a BA Honours degree over one year by distance learning after graduation.
Some students on the diploma courses are able to access DaDa (Dance and Drama awards), though these scholarships are now strictly means tested and many students are not eligible for any help with fees or maintenance. Most institutions offer some scholarships for some students, but these are only for a minority of students and do not cover all fees and maintenance costs.
55. Spanish Immersion at Pony Express Elementary in Eagle Mountain, Utah
Would you be willing to support implementation of a Spanish Immersion program at Pony Express Elementary in Eagle Mountain, Utah?
If so, please sign!!
There are puppies and older dogs that do not yet know how to 'recall' and hardly any dogs know the Green Cross Code or can read safety notices! Almost all open spaces where dogs currently play, have insufficient fencing or gates to prevent dogs running onto roads, or onto pavements to chase a cat or car, or go and sniff the local livestock resulting in road accidents, injured or dead pets, or dogs in a lot of trouble. We want the council to work with Doogies to provide secure, safe play areas for all these dogs throughout Poole and Bournemouth boroughs.
There are many, many dogs that are walked only on lead. Some because they are in training, or don't always come back when called, and some because they are recovering from an operation, or are sick or in season. But there are some dogs on lead because they are afraid of or aggressive towards other dogs or even humans (for whatever reason) and so
1) other people need to know that the dogs needs space
2) those owners need support and education on how to help their dogs cope better when other dogs or humans pass by.
All these dogs are 'yellow' dogs - ie, they need space.
We want the council to work in partnership with Doogies to promote the Yellow Dog Campaign throughout the boroughs, provide education to the public, provide support and training to owners and provide totally secure, private rehabilitation and play areas for dogs that need space.
We want the council to work with Doogies to build a dog-bespoke indoor and outdoor training area for the rehabilitation and training of dogs. Furthermore we wish the council to work with Doogies to provide their educational seminars for everyone who comes into contact with dogs - from children to adults resulting in safe families, educated and responsible dog owners. The boroughs of Bournemouth and Poole have an opportunity to become a role model for providing a safe environment for all - humans and animals alike.
As a dog trainer and behaviour consultant specialising in puppies, rescue dogs and dogs with behaviour challenges I can confirm that:
100% of my clients have needed education and training,
100% needed 'yellow' ribbons for their dogs at some point in their lives
100% needed a safely secured, open spaces to run and play in the company of educated public,
and the many, many, many dogs at one point in their lives needed a totally secure private field for rehabilitation and training, the latter is needed as a matter of urgency within the boroughs as there is currently NOTHING available for owners of a dog that needs space.
57. Bring Google Fiber to Augusta
We deserve internet speeds that can support our ever growing technological lives. Many people pay $70 to $80 for internet speeds that are promised to reach "up to 50 Mbps", but those speeds are far and few between and intermittent at best. Google Fiber is $100/month and can take care of all of your home networking needs. Your television streaming eliminates the need for cable or satellite services.
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) telephone services eliminate the need for ATT, Comcast, and other telephone providers. With Google Fiber, all of those needs are not only satisfied, but the expectations are well exceded. With speeds of 1 Gbps (that's 1000 Mbps; more than 20x's faster than the fastest internet you can purchase today) for only $100, you can eliminate the need for those other bills.
It becomes infinitly easier to stream your television shows, surf the web, download music, upload pictures, and more. That 1 Gbps speed is not only the download speed, but it is the upload speed as well. Compare that to the 15 Mbps that you may be getting now, and it becomes clear that this is a technology that we need in the this rapidly expanding economy. Sign the petition, and lets get the internet speeds and freedom that we deserve.
58. Vote Against the Passage of 2016-2017 Indiana State Budget
My children attend South Bend Community Schools and I see growth in them everyday. South Bend Schools stand to see 5.5 million in cuts over the next two years. There are excellent things happening in our school system that we will not be able to provide to our students if this budget is passed. Our Magnet programming, bilingual department, intervention services, and parent support programs are just a few of the items we stand to lose. We provide options to support our students' success regardless of economic status. By the passage of this budget, that will no longer be able to happen.
Indianapolis Public Schools will lose 14 million in funding by 2017. Some of the state's other poorest cities also would face basic tuition aid cuts: 19 percent for Gary, 10.5 percent for East Chicago and 3 percent for Hammond. Yet, the two wealthiest school districts in the state for family income — Zionsville and Carmel — would see large increases in total state basic tuition aid: 10.6 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively, over the two-year budget period. Neither district has more than 10 percent of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Please support and sign this petition to prevent millions of vital dollars from being taken away from South Bend Community Schools and other urban districts across Indiana serving our lowest-income populations.
59. Research and Oversight of Vaccines and Vaccine Production
Considering the effects of vaccine injury and side effects is an equally important public health issue.
This is documented with research and the billions paid out via the Vaccine Injury Compensation Plan (and that is only to those who have actually filed a claim).
60. Demand Full Public Consultation on Ontario Sex-Ed Curriculum Changes
WHEREAS, since 2010, the Ontario public has not been given opportunity to provide feedback on proposed sex education changes;
WHEREAS, in late October, 2014, the Ontario Liberal government announced that more revisions to the sex education curriculum would be implemented in time for the next school year;
WHEREAS, the announced plans to consult only one hand-picked parent per school does not constitute broad public feedback on the curriculum, and therefore, the Ontario Liberal government is breaking its 2010 promise to consult the people of Ontario;

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklySterbenz (The Gnomes Book of Christmas Crafts, etc.) organizes her American Country-style handicrafts by room, combining instructions for a potpourri of wood, fabric, paintbrush and needle projects with recipes, historical data on American decorative crafts and 65 inspiring color photos. She provides actual-size, traceable patterns for dolls and stuffed animals, and woodworking designs for such diverse items as a checkerboard for the front porch, a barnyard-animal parade for the kitchen windowsill and a pull-toy lamb. Many crafts like cherry pie and heart pillows are quite ordinary; some, like a wood carving of a woman holding a quilt, are unusual. The variety makes for delightful reading, but such a range of media is potentially overwhelming. General directions for each type of craft appear in a separate section at the end, which keeps the body of the book manageable, but recommended skill levels would have been helpful. Also, the black ``Mammy'' doll may offend some readers. A source list of artisans is included. Better Homes and Gardens Crafts Club main selection. (September)

Hundred of years ago Fairies and humans were best friends. Over time humans turn away from magic and focus on science (forgetting that Fairies were more than fairy tales.) Now with all of fairy kind threatened Head Command of Above the Cloud sets up a series of tests to find out how strong the friendship between Daisy and Philippa is. Tests that results in Philippa going to Above The Clouds headquarters and pretending to be a fairy so she isn't discovered as a human. If the tests are concluded to the praise of the high command the two two will be given an assignment together that could be the only way to keep the link between their worlds from closing forever. All our favorite characters from the first two books are brought fact in this thrilling tale of how magical friend ship truly is.
The only thing I didn't like about the book was around the ending. I had hope for Philippa to be given a chance to become a Fairy Godmother herself rather than Daisy's choice to help Amber. As you'll read for yourself Daisy's future fate is sort of left unanswered. Reader isn't 100% sure where she'll end up.
Liz Kessler books are a sure hit for the young, confident, reader. We (my familty) have many of her books, and will keep them coming.
What wonderful literature.

On the Mac, it should be built-in but you have to use the CUPS web interface (or worse, the command line).
Make sure all the printers are defined first.
Then go to localhost:631 and define a new class that contains the printers of interest.
You may have to then define a new queue that contains that class (I forget).

Police investigating indecent exposure reports near university campuses, Palmer Park
Summer is coming, and New Orleanians are seeking lighter fare. Many are also seeking healthier choices. Magasin Café offers both. The restaurant is popular and has become a mainstay for both the Magazine foodie crowd and the health-conscious. Magasin Café has proven so successful in fact, that late last year, the small restaurant expanded, adding a second location, Magasin Kitchen, in the CBD.
The husband and wife team of Kim Nguyen and Luu Tran, along with Kim's mother Luot Nguyen, create each of the restaurant's dishes. It could be said that Magasin is one restaurant with three chefs, but endless ways to customize one's meal. Kim Nguyen states that their goal was to "take the best of our Vietnamese roots, combined with countless hours of research, to create dishes that we grew up eating and introduce them to the rest of the world." They have also created one of the few uptown restaurants where it's easy to monitor nutritional content. Continue reading »

Danae Columbus: Zoo-To-Do serves as million-dollar cornerstone for Audubon Institute
Caroline Zetzmann Calhoun, 2016 Whitney Bank Zoo To Do Chair, and her team of 400 volunteers serving on 15 committees have been working overtime for weeks to put the final touches on May 6th's thirty-ninth annual extravaganza which will draw 5,000 attendees and benefit Audubon Zoo's Tropical Bird House.
The culmination of a year's worth of cajoling corporate donors, restaurants, bars, and other sponsors, this year's gala is expected to raise $1.2 million and serve as the match for millions more in foundation, public and private sector gifts which form the basis of Audubon Institute's almost $50 million annual budget.

StayLocal presents Shopkeeper Stories: Zohreh Khaleghi of The Flaming Torch
Greater New Orleans' citizens are arguably the most flexible people in the country. We take turns with our fellow drivers on narrow cobblestone streets, we know the secret route to get to our house during parade season, and boil water advisories keep us on our toes. These are just a few quirks that make us curious to outsiders and unite us as New Orleanians.
Another reason for us to band together is coming to a road near you! We will be facing drainage system improvements and road construction for the next five years. Funds from FEMA as well as our Department of Public Works have been designated and projects have been mapped through 2019 and we need to stay flexible (as we do) in the name of long-term infrastructure improvements!
Along with those experiencing personal inconveniences and dissatisfactions, our local businesses on these routes are taking a hard economic hit. New Orleans' businesses need to feel our support and the impact of local dollars now at this critical time of business disruption because they are the backbone of our city's culture, economy and character.

The spade-toothed beaked whale is so rare that nobody has seen one alive, but scientists have proof the species still exists.
Two skeletons were identified as belonging to the species after a 5.5m whale and her calf beached themselves in New Zealand in 2010.
Scientists hope the discovery will provide insights into the species and into ocean ecosystems.
It was almost a missed opportunity, however, since conservation workers misidentified the carcasses as a much more common type of whale and buried them.
In a paper published Tuesday in the journal Current Biology, researchers from New Zealand and the United States say of their discovery: "For the first time we have a description of the world's rarest and perhaps most enigmatic marine mammal."
Previously only three skull fragments of the species had been found: in New Zealand in 1872 and in the 1950s, and the last one 26 years ago on an island off Chile.
The males have broad blade-like tusk teeth that give the species its name.
Both males and females have beaks which make them resemble dolphins.
"This is pretty fantastic," said Ewan Fordyce, a geology professor at the University of Otago who specialises in the evolution of whales and who was not involved in the research.
"There would be few, if any, mammalian species in the world that would be rarer. And we know much more about panda bears and other iconic, rare animals."
The beached whales, an adult and her 4m male calf, were discovered on Opape Beach on the North Island on New Year's Eve in 2010.
Conservation workers thought they were Gray's beaked whales and took tissue samples before burying them about 3m under the sand.
Those samples ended up at the University of Auckland where scientists did routine tests about six months later.
Rochelle Constantine, a co-author of the paper, said she and her colleague Kirsten Thompson couldn't believe it when the results showed the pair to be the rarest of whales.
"Kirsten and I went quiet. We were pretty stunned," she said.
Further tests confirmed the discovery.
Constantine said they then retested about 160 samples taken from other stranded Gray's whales, but didn't find any more that had been misidentified.
This year, researchers returned to the beach to exhume the skeletons.
Anton van Helden, who manages the marine mammals collection for New Zealand's national museum Te Papa, said it wasn't a straightforward task to find the remains after so long and that the mother's skull, which was buried shallower than the rest of the remains, washed out to sea. But they were able to recover the rest of the skeletons.
"It's a hugely significant find," said van Helden, a co-author of the paper.
He said it's impossible to know why the whales came ashore although whales often beach themselves when they become ill.
He said almost nothing is known about the species except they live in the South Pacific Ocean and eat primarily squid.
Fordyce said it may be possible to use the skeletons of the rare whales to reconstruct their muscles and tissues and to find out more about how they live and die and why they are so reclusive.
The scientists said the discovery could also provide broader insights into the ocean's complex ecosystems.
"This is good reminder," said Constantine, "of how large the oceans are, and of how little we know about them."

Storms Cripple Businesses In The South
A number of car factories and aerospace plants have shut down temporarily, and some coal mines have suspended production. At a Mercedes Benz plant in Alabama, the damage wasn't bad, but managers closed the plant so workers could take care of their families.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
NPR's business news starts the tornado damage.
(Soundbite of music)
MONTAGNE: The storms in the South hit power supplies hard. A number of car factories and aerospace plants have shut down temporarily, and some coal mines have suspended production.
At a Mercedes Benz plant in Tuscaloosa County, the damage wasn't bad, but the plant is shut today because so many workers have lost power at home and parts suppliers also have power issues.
More broadly, economists say the tornadoes could be a temporary setback to the region, but they're hoping for a boost once rebuilding begins.

English Spoken Here
January Wed 09, 2013
Discovery Channel, along with a team from the Japanese Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology and the Japanese broadcasting company NHK, succeeded in filming a giant squid for the first time in history. The giant squid, or architeuthis dux, in the past has mostly been seen dead or dying, captured by accident in nets or washed up on beaches, but rarely seen moving in its natural habitat, especially since that habitat is normally found at depths starting at 400 feet. The animal was thus the subject of many ancient myths and legends, though in recent times squids have also been captured and their bodies preserved in museums. The Discovery Channel footage will be shown at the end of January, in the episode, "Monster Squid: The Giant is Real". The giant squid is the world's largest invertebrate, and current estimates put its maximum size at 12-14 meters (39-46 feet) long. The largest one ever captured also weighed over 1,000 pounds. The squid also has the largest recorded eyes of the animal kingdom, with one specimen recorded at 27 cm. They feed on other squid and on large fish, and they are the prey of sperm whales. The giant squid, in addition to the small teeth on the suckers of their legs, also have large hooks on the ends of their limbs. The research team, led by Tsunemi Kubodera, went to find this squid near the Ogasawara Islands, south of Tokyo, in early December. This area was chosen by the scientists because of the number of whales found feeding in the area. They used three submersibles and made over 55 dives and almost 300 hours before finding the squid. The specimen filmed, and then caught was estimated to be about 8 meters (24 feet) long. It was lured near the nets with a small squid, and then caught, though the catching unfortunately led to its death. The research that led to the finding of the squid, and the search, which lasted over three years, also is thought to show that there are more giant squid than previously thought. Given the number of sperm whales, estimated at 200,000 and the amount that each has to eat in a day (at least 1,000 pounds of food), it seems that there could be many, many more giants where this one was found. See the video preview of the giant squid on the next page.
