Solar emerging as competitor for utility-scale electric generation
The adoption of U.S. utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP) plants is expected to accelerate during the next decade, according to research from Frost & Sullivan. This will move the technology forward as a contender in a pool of conventional forms of electricity generation.
Renewable portfolio standards, federal incentives such as investment tax credits and loan programs are driving large-scale commercialization of solar energy. As solar energy competes with conventional forms of electricity generation, the potential market for utility-scale solar power plants in the country is on the rise.
Cumulative PV solar installations in the U.S. reached 1,855 MW with the utility-scale segment accounting for 32.2 percent.
"Though no new CSP plants were installed in the United States during 2011, projects totaling more than 1.4 gigawatts were under construction," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst Georgina Benedetti, which should speed up overall market growth.
However, before banks and investors fund these projects, they need some level of assurance that a power plant will operate long enough to see a return on their investment.
"Therefore, well-established project developers using proven technologies will have an advantage in obtaining financing," said Benedetti.

Conscious growth means aligning yourself with certain core principles which serve as growth accelerators. When you live in alignment with them, you experience faster, more consistent progress and deeper levels of fulfillment. When you fall out of alignment and violate these principles, you'll usually feel like you're not progressing, and life seems less fulfilling.

Bill to protect U.S. helium supply
Congress votes to delay world's helium reserve in Texas
President Obama has his hands on a bill that would help protect the U.S. helium supply.
This comes as Congress votes to delay the closing of the world's only helium reserve in Texas.
That closing would have created a serious helium shortage worldwide because helium isn't just for balloons.
It's used in research and in hospitals to help cool superconducting magnets that are crucial to MRI machines.
"Without helium we cannot function in the land of MRI. Our patients would not be served with the high quality images we provide," said Memorial Hospital Central CT/MRI Technologist Vickie Cristi.
The only downside is the price of helium is still expected to rise until other countries ramp up production to fill the gap left by the dwindling supplies here in the U.S. However, Memorial Hospital says, that cost increase won't be passed down to patients.

"This invitation is just beautiful! I used several different fonts, which made the "surprise" part of the invitation stand out. The invitation is thick, the color is rich, the printing is clear and bright. I had the invitation looked at by a design specialist before printing. I was given a choice between my design and one the designer tweaked for me. The designer put the SURPRISE part at the bottom in capital letters. Looks beautiful. My invitations are all address and ready to send. This invite will truly make an impression on the type of party we are having. Thanks so much!"
"Perfect for my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary. The gold was great and it looks like glitter without the mess of real glitter!"
"These cards arrived before the estimated date of delivery and were secured along with the envelopes in shrink wrap. All of the invites and envelops were in perfect condition. I was impressed with the paper quality. These invites have the look and feel of being "green" as they appear to almost be from recycled stock (with out the random color strands you would find in other stock) My only complaint would be that I could not get these printed without the company's logo on the back. I felt having the logo and contact info was a bit cheap looking. Overall I love them and have already placed my 2nd order for another party I am throwing!"
"I ordered this invitation for my parents' anniversary party and could not be more pleased with it. It turned out fantastic, and we've already gotten quite a few compliments on them!"
"I was looking for an anniversary invite for my parents and the choices were limited, but I loved this card. It turned out to be just perfect for what I wanted. The paper quality was great and I was very happy with the end result."

kottke.org tags JUN 08 2007
After working on this -- on again and off again, mostly off -- for much too long, I'm pleased to say that a significant chunk of kottke.org now has tags (around 5,100 entries are tagged, out of ~13,000). Right now, the only way to access them is through individual tag pages, but after all the bugs are ironed out, I'll be putting them in different places around the site (front page, main archive page, etc.).
Each tag page lists all the entries1 on the site that are tagged with that particular word...some good examples to start you off are: photography, economics, lists, infoviz, food, nyc, cities, restaurants, video, timelapse, interviews, language, maps, and fashion. Each page also has a list of tags related to that particular tag and further down in the sidebar, you'll find lists of recently popular tags, all-time popular tags, a few favorite tags of mine, and some random tags...lots of stuff to explore.
I've tweaked the design as well: the main column is a little wider, the post metadata look/feel is consistent among short posts and long posts, faint dotted lines now separate all entries, and per-entry tags were added to the post metadata. I'm testing all that out for eventual site-wide use. Questions, comments, bug reports, etc. are welcome...send them on in.
[1] Not all the entries exactly. Until I figure out how to do some pagination, I've limited the number of entries to 100 for each tag page. The movies page was more than 1 Mb when all the entries were listed. ↩

Help support your Meetup
This group currently hosts weekly Wednesday meetups and twice monthly Friday meetups, for a total of 6 to 7 meetups a month.
The Wednesday Meetups are titled Pure Potential and are focused on co-creating a deeper understanding of ourselves and the tools that can help us align with our desires. Each week I set an inspired topic for us to springboard off of, and then we dive into the topic together, creating deeper understanding as we go. Pure Potential meetups are chock full of laughter, empowering idea brainstorming, and working together as a group to find a better way of looking at the things that are important to us.
The Friday Law of Attraction meetups are based on the teachings of Abraham-Hicks. Twice a month we will listen to several audio clips from a recent Abraham seminar, that all fit the theme of the meetup. During our two hour meetup you can expect to listen to about 45 minutes of Abraham audio, as we spend the rest of the time discussing what we've heard and listening
Our meetups aim to create an environment for easy expansion and happiness by following three of the most liberating tenets of the Law of Attraction:
• Life is supposed to be fun.
• You can be, do or have anything.
• There's nothing that you need to do; all you've gotta do is stop doing that thing you do that keeps you from experiencing what you want.
All meetups are $5 per person. If you have any questions feel free to message Josh and I'll get back to you as soon as joyously possible. :)
How to Find Us:
Come through the Meetup Group Entrance, we're usually in the big room just to the right of where you come in. If there's another group in that room then just follow the Pure Potential signs to our room in the back!

New York Times technology columnist David Pogue, who has turned his showmanship and passion for computing devices into a one-man media brand, is joining Yahoo to build out its tech coverage, a high-profile move by CEO Marissa Mayer that underscores the growing importance of digital tools in the lives of its 627 million users.
"Yahoo is in a unique position to bring to life great editorial about the technology consumers are using every day," Mayer said Monday in a statement that lauded Pogue's ability to "demystify the gadgets, apps and technology" harnessed by Yahoo's online community. "David is tremendously talented, has a great sense of humor, and is gifted at explaining technology."
Calling Pogue "one of the nicest and most positive people I've met" and "one of my favorite journalists," Mayer said, "I can't think of a better person to make technology more accessible and helpful for the hundreds of millions of people who come to Yahoo every day."
Pogue, who will produce columns, blog posts and video stories when he starts next month, said his move comes at a time when Yahoo is "razor-focused for the first time in years."
"This is a digital company," he said, and "it has all kinds of channels for reaching readers and viewers. So why should tech journalism be limited to a Web article and a matching video?"
Besides helping Yahoo build its tech-consumer audience with product reviews "that can incorporate audio and video and pictures and words, fluidly and helpfully," Pogue said he'll help strengthen the relationship between Yahoo and its audience. And that connection, he said, "can be two-way; there can be real-time interactions, Q&A, troubleshooting, special events."
All of these features," said Pogue, 50, will allow Yahoo to enrich and enliven its editorial content at a time when "tech journalism seems to be stuck at the Commodore 64 stage."
A 25-year industry veteran, Pogue will work out of Yahoo's New York office as he continues to juggle various roles he's created for himself, including author, columnist at Scientific American and correspondent on both CBS and PBS. His career shift comes at a time when other high-profile tech writers also have reinvented themselves, most notably Walt Mossberg, who announced recently that he'll leave his job covering consumer tech at The Wall Street Journal to launch a tech writing and conference business.
Bringing in Pogue, whose Thursday columns since 2000 have been among the most popular at the Times, will help Yahoo appease its audience's growing appetite for stripped-down, easy-to-understand advice on how to better incorporate digital tools in their busy lives. The move also begs the question that many journalists and their readers are asking these days about the relevancy of print in an increasingly digital age.
Media analyst Ken Doctor said that while so-called "legacy" news organizations such as the Times may struggle to hold on to talent like Pogue, the decision by Mayer suggests Yahoo and other online content providers will be doing even more poaching as the line between various news platforms continues to blur.
"I think with Pogue's move we're seeing Yahoo using a traditional Times journalist to help up its profile in the digital age," Doctor said. "And we'll see more of this in the future, including digital companies pulling from legacy and the other way around as well."
Saying it may be premature to announce the death of printed content, Pogue suggested that a vibrant and multi-platform brand of journalism could become an integral component of Yahoo's ever-changing online offerings.
"Even if newsprint one day goes away, the world will always need news organizations -- somebody to report and curate the news," Pogue said. "So big news organizations like the Times and Yahoo will always be important and essential, even if we wind up reading everything on screens."

From an outsider's perspective, the life of a video game designer is a rather glamorous one, and one that is unattainable for the majority of people.
This wasn't always the case however. During its infancy in the 80's and early 90's, a career in videogames design would have been laughed at and many of those who ventured into it were doing so on a whim.
As the industry grew, so did perceptions and more importantly games designers began to see far more lucrative wage packets.
Breaking into the industry is more difficult than ever, but the rise of recognised dedicated games design Degree's mean that there is more help than there has ever been.
Games artist Aaron Foster, 25, graduated from the University of Central Lancashire and almost immediately landed a job in the industry. While he recognises that his degree helped him invaluably, it was by no means a golden ticket into the industry.
"I went in there with expectations to learn a lot, and learn everything I need to know about getting a job and I came out of there with a good skillset but it wasn't like that. It's like they give you a bit of guidance and it's up to you to do everything."
People who believe that a games design course would be a walk in the park are sadly mistaken, and it's no surprise that many struggle to find work when they do eventually attain their qualifications. As Aaron explains, the degree merely gives you the tools, it depends on the person how they then operate those tools.
"After having a bit of fun in first year, second year came and all my free time went into practicing getting involved in the community itself. There's loads of websites out there that have similar people to you, similar situations even. I Just tried to follow them, and see what they do, and then compare myself to people that were already in the industry.
"And that's all I did really, I just looked at the people that were already working , and just tried to get to their level, tried to do everything that they could do in my free time, and just doing as much as I could, and doing the university stuff on the side as well. (laughs)"
Only two people including Aaron managed to find employment in their chosen field when they left university, which speaks volumes to the difficult nature of impressing potential employers. And even though it takes a lot of hard work to finally land a job, the hard work doesn't relent, the video game industry is one that demands gruelling hard work from its employees.
Aaron's first job was with Eurocom, as a 3D environmental artist, and from day one he was expected to immediately get down to business at an unrelenting pace.
My first project was G force, that was quite a brutal one because when I jumped in, the timeline was quite short. It was pretty intense, I think I did around 300 hours overtime. When I got there I basically had to hit the ground running, and just get into it, which was kind of scary at the time but at the same time I was so excited about getting a job that I t was fine, so I just stuck to it.
Working ridiculously long hours is standard practice for games designers, and it is why there is such a workaholic culture amongst developers. That drive is absolutely essential if you are serious about making it in the industry, and in many ways, far more valuable than raw talent.
"I don't think you need any raw talent, I just think its drive and want to do it. Like me, I never came from any art background. I did a bit of 2D drawing I guess when I started uni, but my second year I started doing 3D models, 3D art. They were all thing's I learnt whilst I was at university. As long as you really want to do it, you''ll do it in your free time anyway. You need to enjoy doing it as well. If you don't enjoy doing it, it's going to feel like a chore, every time you sit down at your PC."

My husband and I always laugh at ourselves when we attend an event these days.
After a combined experience of more than 25 years in the event production business, we can't seem to just be an attendee. We often comment, "Hey, that's an awfully hard sign to read. " "Why are they running that cable across the entrance, somebody's gonna trip." "Wow, that's a really cool wristband they are using!" Sometimes we even find ourselves moving a table or a piece of bicycle barricade to help make things run smoother.
As an Account Manager at Eventbrite, I use my event experience to help our largest events run smoothly. It's my goal to delight the Eventbrite customer every day on the ground, whether it is a 40k+ patron Maker Faire or my mom's 70th birthday party with 20 attendees.
New Year's Eve events are no different. No attendee wants to hear the clock strike midnight while they're waiting in line.
Make sure that doesn't happen. Here are a few tips on getting people in the door, quickly and safely:
Pre-event page set-up
When you set up your event page on Eventbrite make sure it doesn't just look cool, but that it's also informative.
Make sure attendees know how to get to your event and arrive well-informed. Let them know what they can and can't bring and what to bring with them (photo ID, dress code, etc.). Share directions, parking and public transportation information with them.
FAQs are a great way to communicate this information. Don't forget you can use the event details, the confirmation email, and the space on the e-ticket to convey a lot of this information. Be clear and concise.
Think ahead!
As you build your event page, start to think about your entry management logistics.
How will people get into your event? Do you have ticket types that require special entry management procedures (VIP, early access, etc.)? Will your attendees arrive all at once or over the course of several hours? Make sure you have an entry management plan to accommodate.
Also, will they check in at a table or kiosk or do you plan to scan their tickets with Eventbrite's mobile entry management tools? Our Easy Entry App is now available for both iPhone and Android smartphones, and helps move people through the door efficiently.
Keep it simple for your attendees when they arrive. Use clear and simple signage. Use terms your attendees can identify with (i.e. Ticket Holders, Ticket Sales, VIP Entrance, Member Entrance). Consider making your entrance visible to parking areas and/or public transportation drop-off points.
Create a Choke Point
For lack of a better word, a choke point is a narrow place at your entrance where your attendees are forced to funnel into a single file line to perform the final check/ticket verification before they enter the event.
You can create a choke point in any number of ways. A doorway, stanchions (like at the airport), rope, bicycle barricade, or even tables work well. This does not mean that you should only have one line of people entering your event. It simply means that the entrance to your event should have one or several choke points. Wherever you have a scanner staff person or a person checking people off of a list, there should be a choke point. Remember, these entrance lanes should be small enough to prevent a horde of people entering at once, but wide enough to accommodate a person in a wheel chair (at least three feet wide, but no wider than five feet).
Small events may only have one entrance line/choke point. Larger events may have several. The key is to create an orderly and calm entrance with specific places for people to queue up and enter.
Do you have an Exit?
Make sure you have an exit. It's not a good idea to use the entrance lanes as exit lanes at the beginning or during the event.
Clearly mark your exit with signage. Also, inform your attendees of your in/out policy. Once your attendees exit, will they be allowed back in again? Your in/out policy should be communicated at both the entrance and the exit (and on the ticket!).
Finally, make sure to have a big enough exit once the event has ended. Consider "blowing out" your entrance lanes and changing them to exit lanes toward the end of the event to allow your attendees to exit quickly and safely.
Customer Assistance
Make sure you have a plan in place to deal with people that forgot to print their ticket or aren't on the list for whatever reason. I recommend NOT trying to help these people in the entrance line. A small table with a sign that says "Customer Assistance" or "Help Desk" works well. Have that table staffed by a volunteer or staff member and a laptop or master attendee list.
If your ticket scanners or list staff have trouble finding or checking in an attendee, have them instruct the attendee to go to the Customer Assistance table. Troubleshooting tickets can take a little bit of time. If you try to assist these customers in the entrance line, the entire line stops and the attendees in the back of the line can get frustrated. If the line is moving (no matter how slowly), people in the line are generally content.
Don't forget to smile, breathe and welcome your attendees! In most cases, these folks paid good money to attend your event and the way in which they arrive and enter your event makes a lasting first impression.
Stop waiting in line and join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Carol has traveled extensively with other FWHC members throughout the US and beyond its borders. In 1974, Carol went to Europe to share self-help with women. Carol went to International Women's Year in Mexico City in 1975 and shared self-help with community women. Carol was a part of the US Nicaraguan International Health Colloquia in 1985. In Nicaragua, Carol and Lynne Randall showed their cervices to nurses and women doctors, and they shared information about safe post abortion care in an arena where illegal abortions were performed.
Carol's stand against US imperialism and the patriarchy led her to go to Iran in 1979 as part of a US delegation, "Send Back the Shah". Upon her return, Carol criticized the US-executed coup against a democratic leader which gave rise to Americans being held hostage by Iranian militants. Carol has actively supported people's right to self-determination, criticized US policy, and sees women's oppression being perpetuated by US imperialism. Carol has shown her cervix to women in the US and around the world, and has continuously defended women against oppressive governments.

Skill Level Beginner
Now that our file is set up, let's design the Red 30 letterhead. Using elements we've established in our business card design, we'll make sure to copy and paste them into our letterhead and follow a similar visual style to ensure consistency with other elements. First, I'm going to jump into my business card file here, and I'm just going to select the whole card. Let's copy it and let's paste it into our new design. Now, we can begin to arrange these elements, and we're sure that they're exactly the same as in the card. Now, obviously, on our letterhead, we have a lot more room to work, so text doesn't need to be quite as small.
So I'd encourage you to bump up the text size a little bit. To start, I'm just going to move this all into the top-left corner. I'm going to remove Sarah's name. We really don't need a specific name on letterhead. We really just want to promote the company. So, we'll delete Sarah's name, her title, and her email address. Next, I'm going to drag this brown box across the screen, and I'm going to create a separate area for my content, and I'll duplicate it to create another area for my logo.
We'll leave a small white gap in between. Now, you notice that I'm drawing this box out to our bleed area. We're going to use this version of the letterhead as a full bleed version, and then we'll create another one below that we can print off in the office. Next, I'm going to move my logo onto the right-hand side, and I'm going to scale it up a little bit. Now, I need to consider the hierarchy of the information on this letterhead. I think the most important element to include at the top here is our nice bold Red 30 creative website address. And if we just increase the size of this frame, we can probably bump up our text size a little bit.
So let's move this up to 14 points. Next, I am going to include our address information below, and we'll scale this box much longer than we had on the card. I am going condense the address information into one line, and then we'll put our phone number and our email address below that. So, because I have more room on the letterhead to type, I'm going to actually write phone, and I'll put in the phone number. Now that our phone number's in place, I'm going to just put a couple of breaks, and I'll include our email.
This is going to just be a generic email address, not specifically Sarah's. So this one will just be an email@example.com. Now you notice that the phone and the email titles kind of get lost in this design, so let's just increase the contrast on them by changing the color and bolding that text. I'll highlight phone and let's go PT Sans Bold. I'll do the same for email. And you know what? I find this font a little bit small, so I'm just going to bump the whole thing up to ten.
We'll check this later by printing it off on our home computer. Lastly, I'm going to change the color of phone to orange and the email color also to orange. There, now it stands out that these are two different pieces of information. Next, I find that this gap between these two boxes looks a little bit unfinished, so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to draw a rectangle below this, and I'm going to fill this rectangle with orange. What this is going to do is just kind of help cap off this header element at the top.
And we'll space it out so it roughly the same size as this gap. If we hit W, we can preview our letterhead. It looks still a little bit large, so let's zoom in and I'm going to tighten up these areas. That looks better. Our logo is a little bit small in the corner as well, so we'll just scale that up even more. Lastly, on this letterhead, we have lots of room at the bottom of our page. We want to make sure that we're not interfering with any of the content on our actual letterhead design, but we can include something unique down at the bottom.
So, one thing I recommend is let's just duplicate our logo, and I'm going to just condense this frame a little bit to crop off the red text. We're actually going to change our display settings so that this looks nice and crisp. And we'll scale this up nice and big. Once that's scaled up, I'm going to move it down to the bottom corner of our page. I'll scale it a little bit bigger still. We'll rotate it, and let's position it in the corner of the design.
Lastly, if I find that this is still a little bit too heavy at the bottom, I can change the opacity. So let's just drop the opacity of this down to about 50% to start. That might still be a little bold so, let's go with 30%. Now, this is going to act similar to a watermark as just a nice subtle accent to the design. Finally, I'm going to add our tagline, which is "creative consultancy," down to the left-hand corner of our screen. If I take our Text tool and draw a new text box, we'll just type that text in. Creative consultancy. I'll highlight it.
Bump up the font size to about 30 point. Change the color to orange. And let's use Lobster, which is our headline text. Let's exit our preview, and we'll just position this in the bottom-left corner. I'm keeping it inside our margins, just to make sure that in the event this is trimmed out improperly, it's not going to get cut off. This looks great for a full-bleed design. However, we may need to create another version that we can print off on our office printer. So what I'm going to do is just select all of the content on this, copy it, and I'll move down to our second page and I'll duplicate the design by clicking Edit > Paste in Place.
On this version, I'm just going to shrink all of our elements to be a little smaller and fit within our boundaries. So, let's exit our preview mode and drag all of our elements in to sit within the margin we've set up. We'll zoom in to do this bar below the header. And we're not going to be able to use this element on the bottom-right, which is this 30 that's kind of bleeding off the side. So let's delete this out. Next, I'm going to just duplicate this orange bar and place it on the bottom edge.
This will help contain whatever it is we write on this actual document. I notice that it's not quite to the right margin, so let's just fix that on the top and bottom. Lastly, I find that this creative consultancy text is maybe a little bit bold in this version, so let's shrink it down. Well span our text box to be the full width of the screen, and then I'm just going to center it. There. Now it's centered nicely in this design. As you can see, we've created two different versions of this letterhead: one that bleeds off of the edges and one that we can print on our desktop printer.
I find that these hard corners are a little bit sharp, so I'm thinking that I'll round the corner on this side of the design. Lets go up to our Object > Corner Options. We'll unlink over corners and just round it a little bit. We'll click Preview to make sure that looks as we intended. That looks good. Click OK and we finished our design. Designing a letterhead is very similar to creating your business cards; however, you do have a little more room to work.
Just make sure that your design beautifully frames the content inside and doesn't interfere with the legibility or readability of it. If your contact information is going to change often, consider designing the letterhead without bleeds and printing it off on your home or office printer. You can save a ton on upfront printing cost with this method.

No Dates
In the 1831 Slave Registers, Bon Air appears as a sugar plantation the property of the heirs of Richard Allport, of which the said Francis Bickley is in possession as manager, previously the property of Francis Bickley. The connection between Francis Bickley and his attorneys and assignees Sophia Beata Gilson (a schoolmistress in Essex) (q.v.) and Martha Craston (untraced) is not yet known.
At least two men called Francis Bickley born in Trinidad - neither old enough to be the Francis Bickley of Bon Air but each possibly a son - appear in the British census, one born c. 1821 a surgeon/dentist lodging at 1851 in Paternoster Row, Abbey Street Cumberland and one born c. 1833 a Private in the Life Guards living in barracks at Windsor in 1861.
Richard Allport was a Bristol merchant who died in Trinidad in July 1829. Again, his relationship with Sophia Gilson and Martha Craston is unknown.

The Ukrainian city of Lviv is dropping its candidacy for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games due to the deadly separatist conflict raging in the country's east and the ensuing economic crisis.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said Lviv's withdrawal was "a result of the present political and economic circumstances in Ukraine."
The city will bid for the 2026 event instead.
Lviv, in western Ukraine, had been vying with Beijing, Oslo, and Almaty to host the 2022 games.
The IOC said the decision followed discussions between its president, Thomas Bach, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and pole-vaulting legend Sergiy Bubka, who heads the country's National Olympic Committee.
Yatsenyuk said a bid for 2026 "would have excellent potential for the economic recovery of the country."
The winner for the 2022 Olympics will be announced on July 31.

Cracker Jack Toys
Give them something useful - A Council of Small Business Marketing
Naturally, my wife wanted a new Burberry bag when my father asked what I wanted to pick up in Europe. She is all about portfolios. He bought a nice bag of Rome and sent her on his return to the United States.
Along with the bag cardboard was an envelope containing the receipt and something very interesting - a map of Rome. It was one of the tourist maps and had all the little shops in Rome delimited Burberry so he could find.
Absolutely brilliant. First, the map is useful, a great marketing tool is something that people have left is one. This is why Advertising in the magazine is so effective. It is also something that could happen to people who know they are going to travel to Rome - and now they know where to get a nice bag like yours. Also, while you are in Rome only could decide to pick up a second bag for Aunt Clara and now may find its way back to the store.
Business all sizes have used in the marketing of gifts forever. Gillette had the bright idea of giving away razors and then charging for disposable blades had to throw often. Cracker Jacks are known for the surprise inside the toy. Food vendors giving away free samples to you to buy more.
The psychological urge to reciprocate when someone gives us something is so strong that Cialdini wrote about it in his seminal book on Influence. That momentum is stronger for valuable draw. Reciprocity is not the only factor that can make useful gifts tools small business marketing.
Some characteristics great gifts: "They are tools and information that customers use over and over" They have a positive emotional component can be passed along, others build the effect of marketing-The benefit of the draw is open-The gift builds a strong mental link to your business-The raffle helps customers buy from you.
I personally believe that well adapted information products are probably the best gift ever. Kraft food sends a free monthly newsletter full of recipes (all with Kraft Foods). That Gift has all the above characteristics. The same applies to the tourist map of Rome.
If you are in the business in 2005, you need to take marketing Internet small business very seriously. The Internet is an ideal way to give away information products. If you have a lawn care business, you may have a calendar planting to print on your website. If you own a restaurant near a theater district, you may publish a schedule of upcoming shows with your number Phone for reservations before the theater.
I love going to conventions and walk the floor with a bag to collect a lot of free stuff. Honestly, most part goes directly to the trash. I keep pens and other useful things, but who has time to look through 500 company brochures? While they are cute, crazy pillows and toys stress relief just cluttering up my office. This material is very expensive, and I think that the commercial value is very small.
This years I went the Boston Wine Expo - two days of drinking wine! Some pear producer association was there handing out samples of pears. His gift was a cardboard wheel that can be used to match varieties of pears with a type of wine and cheeses. This is particularly useful if you are a chef looking for ways to put a different menu.
My friend who owns a car repair shop is pricing out travel mugs. This is a pretty good gift. Ideally, when people have problems with the car that will coffee with your phone number when compared to them.
What can a gift that is useful? That may be information in a way that does not cost you nothing, or it may be a budget for something you. Remember that the list of features when you look at your gifts.

Exercise Caution With Government Contracts
Originally published: 09.01.08 by Mike Coyne
Detailed records are the best defense againt false-claim allegations.
Although it is not terribly common, from time to time hvacr contractors do have opportunities to provide contracting or service work for an agency of the federal government. Any contract with the federal government carries special obligations and special risks. Here are some things you need to know before entering into a government contract.
A contract with the federal government should be as specifi c as possible as to the scope of services to be provided, the materials to be used, and the price to be paid by the government. Specifi city will minimize misunderstandings. If you suspect that the scope of work might have to change during the project, be sure to include language in the contract addressing how changes will be approved and priced. Finally, include provisions in the contract for inspection and documentation of the fi nished project.
Why is this so important? All government contracts are subject to the False Claims Act. The False Claims Act was enacted during the Civil War in response to the rash of defense contractors who were defrauding the Union Army. The Act provides stiff civil and criminal penalties for knowingly presenting a false claim to a governmental agency. A "knowing" submission includes acting either
• with deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information; or
• with reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information.
The government's recovery for violation of the False Claims Act may be signifi cant, as those liable under the Act are subject to a civil penalty of not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each claim that is submitted. In addition to these mandatory civil penalties, the government may recover treble damages (triple the amount of the actual/compensatory damages to be awarded to a prevailing plaintiff ). In many cases, penalties for violations of the False Claims Act exceed the value of the original contract. T
he Civil War era legislation was not substantially amended until 1986 when the current qui tam provisions were added. By passing the amendment, Congress authorized and encouraged "whistleblowers" to seek out fraudulent actions being taken against the government. Private lawsuits were authorized when plaintiffs, almost always employees (or, more precisely, disgruntled former employees) of the alleged offender, provided "direct and independent knowledge" of fraudulent acts against the government. Congress explicitly intended to set up incentives to supplement government enforcement of the Act by encouraging insiders privy to fraud on the government to blow the whistle on the crime. The motivation to fi le a whistle-blower suit is substantial: 10% to 30% of the government's recovery.
In addition to a carefully worded contract, a contractor's best defense against a claim under the False Claims Act is good, written documentation of the services provided. If you have a federal contract, keep good records, including the names of persons working on the project and hours worked, receipts for materials used, and the like. Such records are the best defense against the false claims allegations. Additionally, carefully review your bills before submitting them to the government. Be sure that they accurately refl ect the services provided and are consistent with the terms of your contract.

Some parents put their teens right to work the moment they turn 16. Others wait until senior year to even entertain thoughts about part-time jobs. As you consider your teen's situation, personality and maturity level, keep this in mind when determining if he or she is ready to start working:
What is There to Gain?
Whether it's working as a student clerk at the mayor's office or flipping burgers at the local diner, a part-time job can teach your teen many valuable skills. Among those are responsibility, time and money management, people and team-player skills, independence and self-confidence. Plus, any work experience can help build your teen's resume, which will be important when applying for college or living university life. As your teen gets used to earning paycheck after paycheck, it's likely he or she will have a better grasp on the value of money and take more thought when spending (or asking) for spare change.
What is There to Lose?
Many parents may worry that with sports, volunteering, school and other activities, working part-time is too much for their teen. Others have concerns about workplace safety and bad influences or real-world exposure. For example, there were an annual average of 795,000 nonfatal work injuries among young U.S. workers between 1998 and 2007, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Evaluate your teen's maturity level— not just his or her age— before deciding whether he or she is ready to start working part-time.
Questions to Ask Yourself
- Does your teen get him or herself out of bed in the morning?
- Can your teen admit to mistakes? Accept criticism?
- Does he or she work well with others?
- Does your teen practice good manners and respect authority?
- How does your teen respond to peer pressure?
- Does your teen dress well and practice good hygiene?
- How organized and responsible is your teen?
The Ultimate Decision
If either you or your teen is hesitant about getting a job, discuss your reasoning together. What would be the job's purpose? Is it career preparation? A venue for his or her social life? Or is it just about making money? Ultimately the decision will have to be made together. Help your teen research and apply for jobs online at Job-Applications.com. Establish expectations about grades and how much time you'd like them to allot to family and home life. Talk about preparing a budget and how to handle work-related situations, such as calling in sick or responding to manager feedback. In the beginning, you may want to limit how many hours he or she can work in a week and change that number as the need arises.
What are Their Rights?
Federal law regulates where and how many hours a day a teen can work. Visit the Department of Labor website to learn more about federal and state child labor laws. According to the CDC, working teens have the right to:
- Earn at least federal minimum wage
- Work in a safe and healthy place
- Receive safety and health training
- Work without harassment or discrimination
- Ask for workplace changes because of religious beliefs or a medical condition

The Waste Land
by T.S. Eliot
The Waste Land Religion Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
Where fishmen lounge at noon: where the walls
Of Magnus Martyr hold
Inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold. (263-265)
You wouldn't think that Eliot would be all that impressed with the "clatter and chatter" (262) of fishermen lounging in a pub. But the fact the he connects them to the interior of a church he really admires shows that he's actually quite fond of the old salts. Here, the nostalgia of "The Waste Land" is slathered on pretty thickly. In this passage, Eliot is suggesting that even the lower classes live with a certain dignity in a world that is given meaning by religion. But for Eliot, this is a world that barely still exists, if at all.
Quote #5
Burning burning burning burning
O Lord Thou pluckest me out
O Lord Thou pluckest
burning (308-311)
The burning of this passage might make you think of hellfire at first (and rightfully so), but it also might refer to the "Fire Sermon" from which this section of the poem takes its name. The Fire Sermon is not actually a Christian reference, but an allusion to the spiritual teacher Buddha, who taught people to resist their worldly appetites for sex, money, and power in order to live a life of peace. From this point onward, "The Waste Land" starts to look at non-Christian religions as potential places of rebirth for Western culture. Eliot especially seems to like the idea of asceticism, which means giving up all worldly pleasures in order to pursue a life of spiritual enlightenment. If today's Western culture is any indication, though, Eliot might have lost that battle.
Quote #6
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
Shantih shantih shantih (433-434)
In the final lines of the poem, Eliot gives us six words, all from the Hindu spiritual texts, the Upanishads. The first three words mean "Giving," "compassion," and "self-control," while the last three are a repetition of Shantih, which means "The peace which passeth all understanding." This might actually be the closest the Eliot ever gets to hopefulness in this poem, which is saying a lot. Now that we modern folks have lost our cultural memory, Eliot wonders if maybe we might be able to look to other cultures for spiritual wisdom. No doubt about it, the final section of "The Waste Land" really gets behind the idea of overcoming your individual ego, giving up your quest for individual greatness, and living a life of peace and compassion.

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"Not the faintest sound of any kind could be heard. You looked on amazed, and began to suspect yourself of being deaf—then the night came suddenly, and struck you blind as well. About three in the morning some large fish leaped, and the loud splash made me jump as though a gun had been fired. When the sun rose there was a white fog, very warm and clammy, and more blinding than the night. It did not shift or drive; it was just there, standing all around you like something solid." (2.13)
The interior deprives men of their senses. Here, the eerie stillness of the wilderness and the darkness of night render the men both deaf and blind. Without eyes or ears, they have no frame of reference—and without a frame of reference, they have no clear identities.
Quote #8
"It takes a man all his inborn strength to fight hunger properly. It's really easier to face bereavement, dishonour, and the perdition of one's soul - than this kind of prolonged hunger. Sad, but true. And these chaps [the cannibals], too, had no earthly reason for any kind of scruple." (2.14)
This is typical of how Europeans of the time might have viewed the native Africans. They think that they had "no earthly reason for any kind of scruple," never taking into account that perhaps they do have scruples, just different ones. For example, we never see any Africans brutally beating and chaining any Europeans, do we?
Quote #9
"The lustre of inquiring glance faded swiftly into vacant glassiness." (2.23)
Marlow associates death with emptiness since he describes the dead foreman's eyes as "vacant" as opposed to a once living "luster." Now just get a whole bunch of them and send them after an intrepid band of heroes, and you'll have a hit TV show!

Westchester Classic
This new construction was featured in the 2010 spring edition of Beautiful Homes (pg. 86). The symmetrical entrance and rigidity of a traditional colonial are softened by shingle style and supplemented by stonework. An angled garage wing responds to the natural contours of a plateau on which the house sits, testifying to the ability of Daniel Contelmo, architect, to address the natural landscape as well as clients' needs. The three-level home is divided into adult and adolescent spaces. While the front and left side of the entry consist of more formal rooms, including the dining room, living room, office, and master bedroom suite, the right side of the house consists of children's spaces, which are interconnected vertically by a second staircase from a playroom in the basement to the bedrooms two stories above. Notable features of the home include a wine cellar, a 19-seat home theatre, and a billiard room. Although this Westchester classic contains scores of rooms, each feels personal and the residents are not dwarfed by the space in which they live.

Good afternoon ladies and gents, go grab yourself a nice cup of tea and turn off the telly. My name is Mia Solkin and I'm an expat who has been living in NYC for three years now (working at Glamour for two of them!). As the only resident Brit over here at Glamour HQ, and lover of all things British, I am going to be spotlighting a UK style icons on Slaves to Fashion. First up is Sienna Miller who is about to hit the small screen in the HBO movie, The Girl!
The story focuses on the obsessive relationship between film director Alfred Hitchcock and his leading lady Tippi Hedren. Even from the trailer it's clear that Sienna will look amazing in the '60s costumes required for the role. In her off-screen life she certainly pulls off the retro look!
Here she is earlier this year wearing a '60s-inspired A-Line coat, "Marianne Faithful" bob, and black opaque tights. I love this ensemble for a fancy lunch or a special afternoon gathering. While Sienna is most well known for her take on boho-chic (a term she supposedly ended up hating), I love this more polished side of her style.
Sienna also knows how to pull off '60s style for nighttime, like when she wore this Edie Sedgwick-esque gold shift dress to the "Anglomania"-themed Costume Institute Gala in 2006. I love the patent heels and the mod-era length of this sparkly Burberry dress.
Shop Sienna's '60s style and create your own retro look below. Plus! Don't forget: The Girl premieres on HBO tomorrow, October 20th. Will you tune in to watch?

CraveOnline's latest Band of The Month is a new flavor of greatness, consisting of five childhood friends from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles augmented by 3 mid-western transplants. The Mowgli's first blew us away when they performed at our SXSW showcase this year (alongside Eagles of Death Metal, Reignwolf, My Goodness and more), tearing down the house with their harmony-rich blend of 70's California folk and modern indie rock charm. Their songs convey a relentlessly upbeat positivity, a framework for their message of universal love.
With breakthrough single "San Francisco" firmly locking their name in the public consciousness, The Mowgli's debut album Waiting for the Dawn arrived last June on the Island/Def Jam imprint to celebratory reviews and huge fan enthusiasm. It's not difficult to understand why when you're at a Mowgli's show - and chances are you're going to come face-to-face with at least one of the band members during the performance. The band almost always leaves the stage to mingle in the crowd, always pushing to make more of a connection with their audience, to dismantle the invisible barrier between artist and spectator. It's just one element that defines what The Mowgli's are truly about - an uplifting, collaborative, joyous and communal experience in the name of love.
We're thrilled to have brought them into the Bedrock Studios in Los Angeles for an exclusive CraveOnstage session as part of July's Band of The Month feature - check out a barn-burning rendition of "Leave It Up To Me," the first of four performances coming your way this month.
While you're at it, stick around and check out an interview with the whole Mowgli's crew as they discuss their musical inspirations, their charity work and the response of friends they've written songs about.
Pick up Waiting For The Dawn and keep up with The Mowgli's at their official website, as well as on Twitter and Facebook!

Many of the pieces this season were typical Dolce & Gabbana and featured a lot of lavish embellishments. Personally, I would never wear the jewel bedazzled Jesus shirt but you can see the amount of handwork and time that went into it; The jewels and settings were all hand-sewn to a silk blouse. My personal highlight of the collection were the tailored pieces. I have never seen anyone needlepoint embroider a wool chalkstipe flannel blazer with flowers or hand sew lace all over a velvet jacket. These applications take colossal amounts of time and it is nice to see that Dolce & Gabbana stayed true to their roots while incorporating their signature style into more traditional pieces. Honestly, it is one of the more interesting collections I have seen this season and would find a way to wear one of their floral needlepoint jackets without looking too crazy.

This box is the fourth in our series, highlighting points of interest along the Arizona Trail.
The Patagonia area is a playground for Southern Arizonans. It is a popular weekend or day-trip destination for wine lovers, bird-watchers, hikers, campers, and fisher-folk.
To the Trailhead
Entering Patagonia from the north (on Route 82) cross over Sonoita Creek and take the first left at Taylor Ave. Take the next left at Harshaw Road and go 2.8 miles to the trailhead parking lot.
To the Box
Find the information kiosk and take the trail starting behind it. After passing some short, blackish cliffs youll come to a T-junction next to a knarly stump. A right turn here would take you across the wash, but you want to go left, steeply up the hill about 10 yards. At the crest of the second hill, locate a rust-colored gate at 75* from north and a radio tower at 205*. Half-way up the hill behind you is a large black rock with a tree growing out of the middle of it. The box is nestled at the bottom of the tree.

The purpose of this class is to prepare future practitioners to advise clients in all aspects ofclimate change law, an emerging regulatory system that is currently very much a work inprogress. At the domestic U.S. level, we will study the climate change legislation that Congressconsidered in 2009, EPA's ongoing rulemakings under the Clean Air Act, and pending litigation.By studying the law as it is made, students will have a better appreciation of legislative intent,the administrative rulemaking process, and likely areas of future controversy and litigation. Atthe international level, we will review the mixed success of the Kyoto Protocol, the steps takensince then by the European Union and others, the results of the Copenhagen negotiations, as wellas next steps.

Perhaps the one thing that's even better than that is when the goalkeeper then scores a header of such exquisite beauty you, the mere onlooker, could weep.
Athletic Bilbao's Gorka Iraizoz - the man scoring that exceptional goal there - is more likely to be weeping now, though - because Malaga clung on to their 1-0 lead after his effort was ruled out.
Why? Well, nobody seems to know.
Unless there is something we've missed, that is an bizarre decision
— Sid Lowe (@sidlowe) August 23, 2014
Presumably referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz does, so we'll have to wait for him to enlighten us.
In the meantime, let's continue watching that hypnotic clip and scan the entire scene frantically to see anything at all wrong with that goal.

Journey of the Magi
by T.S. Eliot
Analysis: Sound Check
Eliot was writing around the time when folks were all about making poetry sound real. People wanted poetry of the people, by the people, and for the people, so that poetry had to sound like everyday speech. For the most part. The movement had been kicked off a little further back by Walt Whitman and, even a little before him, William Wordsworth, but some might say the crest of the wave really came with the Modernists.
So you can pick this poem out, in a lot of ways, by the nature of the "Speaker" and the way that the poem sounds just like everyday speech. With phrases like "then at dawn we came to a temperate valley" (21) and "all this was a long time ago, I remember, / and I would do it again" (32-33), the poem sounds almost like, well, prose. In fact, there's a lot about this poem's sound that ties it to Eliot's much longer and more complicated piece, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". You can check out the "Sound Check" part of that analysis for more on ways to identify classically Eliot-sounding poetry.

A southeastern Nebraska farmer has been charged with 10 felony counts of animal cruelty, accused of starving hundreds of pigs on his property.
Otoe County Attorney David Partsch says 60-year-old John Maahs of Unadilla appeared in court Monday morning. Authorities say hundreds of dead hogs in various stages of decomposition were found on Maahs' farm late last week.
Mark Langan of the Nebraska Humane Society in Omaha says necropsies performed on some of the pigs show the animals likely
starved to death.
Maahs remains in jail on $50,000 bail.
Partsch says Maahs did not appear with an attorney Monday, and that a judge determined Maahs is not indigent and would have to hire his own attorney.

Colorado scientists are looking at genetically modified crops as a way farmers can beat the drought.
Colorado State University professor Phil Westra says attitudes are changing toward crops that have been altered to resist drought and pests as harvests decline and costs rise. Opponents say not enough is known about the health effects of altered crops and more studies are needed.
According to KMGH-TV, corn and sugar beets, two of the largest crops in Colorado, are already genetically altered and used by many farmers.

Hello, I'm hoping that someone might have a clue as to why I'm
experiecing a problem with RRAS to establish a VPN.
Symptom: After setting up RRAS to establish a VPN the network slows
down. RRAS works for the purpose of the VPN, but computers internally
experience a slow network connection.
Configuration: I installed a second NIC on a Windows 2000 Server.
The original NIC: 192.168.0.200
New secondary NIC: 192.168.0.201
The secondary NIC is setup on the DMZ via a Netgear router for the
purpose of accessing the VPN externally.
192.168.0.200 is set as everyones DNS.
Further Data: On top of this now that RRAS is disabled in order to
speed the network back up Windows 98 users receive a message stating
that the domain on which they are attempting to log in is invalid.
Eventually they are allowed to log in though. It's not black or white
at all.
Also, now with RRAS turned off when pinging the PDC named "server",
the new secondary NIC (192.168.0.201) responds, instead of the primary
NIC (192.168.0.200). For the record both have a metric of "1".
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

It will be apparent to any one who is at all familiar with the anatomic conformation of the lachrymal passages, that certain shaped appliances fashioned from a practically unyielding metal, under the name of lachrymal probes, do not meet the requirement for the purpose they were designed.
We have evidence at every hand of the great injury following the passage of the probe, and the difficulty of effecting a cure for obstinate cases of epiphora, due to obstruction of the lachrymal canal.
The "slitting up" or destruction of the punctæ and canaliculi, for frequent probings, the indiscriminate "plunging" and "twisting" of a bistoury or a sharp double-edged Graefe cataract knife into the tissues of the nasal duct, the application of caustic, tissue-destroying agents, have not only signally failed to effect a cure but, in the majority of cases, have entailed future discomfort and irreparable damage, with little or no permanent

Revelers line Greenville Avenue for 35th Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade
With the rain holding off, green-clad revelers are ready for the 35th Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade to make its way down Greenville Avenue this morning.
Organizers expect 90 floats and more than 125,000 people in attendance.
The 11 a.m. parade goes on even if rain starts to fall, which is expected by mid-afternoon.
We'll update this post throughout the day with more from the festivities.
11:47 update: The front of the parade, led by grand marshal and retired WFAA-TV anchor Gloria Campos, has made its way past Milton Street and Greenville Avenue.
Kathy Arscott isn't far behind with the Animal Rescue of Texas contingency, led by a Studebaker bus. She's with her dog Shiner, dyed green and resembling mint chocolate chip ice cream with her brown spots.
"It's food coloring, so it doesn't hurt her," Arscott

NEW YORK -- Sidney Lumet, a director who preferred the streets of New York to the back lots of Hollywood and whose stories of conscience -- "12 Angry Men," "Serpico," "Dog Day Afternoon," "The Verdict," "Network" -- became modern American film classics, died Saturday morning at his home in Manhattan. He was 86.
His stepdaughter, Leslie Gimbel, said the cause was lymphoma.
"While the goal of all movies is to entertain," Lumet once wrote, "the kind of film in which I believe goes one step further. It compels the spectator to examine one facet or another of his own conscience. It stimulates thought and sets the mental juices flowing."
Social issues set his own mental juices flowing, and his best films not only probed the consequences of prejudice, corruption and betrayal but also celebrated individual acts of courage.
In his first film, "12 Angry Men," he took his cameras into a jury room where the pressure mounted as one tenacious and courageous juror, played by Henry Fonda, slowly convinced the others that the defendant on trial for murder was innocent.
Lumet's moral sense remained acute when he ventured into satire with "Network," perhaps his most acclaimed film. Based on Paddy Chayefsky's biting script, the film portrays a television anchorman who briefly resuscitates his fading career by launching on-air tirades against what he perceives as the hypocrisies of American society. The film starred William Holden, Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch as the commentator-turned-attack-dog whose proclamation to the world at large -- "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" -- became part of the American vernacular.
"Network" was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including best film and best director, and won four, including best actor (Finch), best actress (Dunaway), best original screenplay (Chayefsky) and best supporting actress (Beatrice Straight). Yet for all the critical success of his films and despite the more than 40 Academy Award nominations they drew, Lumet himself never won an Oscar, though he was nominated four times as best director.
Only in 2005 did the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences present him with an honorary Oscar. Manhola Dargis, writing in the New York Times, called it a "consolation prize for a lifetime of neglect."
Sidney Lumet was born on June 25, 1924, in Philadelphia. His father, Baruch, an actor, was born in Poland and moved his family to New York when Sidney was a baby. By the time he was 4, Sidney was appearing onstage with his father, and he went on to make his Broadway debut in 1935 as a street kid in Sidney Kingsley's "Dead End."
After wartime service as a radar technician in the Far East, Lumet's big break came in 1950, when he was hired by CBS and became a director on the television suspense series "Danger." Among the highlights of Lumet's television years were a full-length production of Eugene O'Neill's play "The Iceman Cometh," with Jason Robards as the salesman Hickey and "12 Angry Men," which he directed for television before turning it into his first film.
He marked his 83rd year with the 2007 release of his last feature film, "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," the bleakly riveting story of two brothers (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke) propelled by greed into a relentless cycle of mayhem.
Lumet's first three marriages, to actress Rita Gam, Gloria Vanderbilt and Gail Jones, Lena Horne's daughter, ended in divorce. He married Mary Gimbel in 1980. She survives him. Besides his stepdaughter and Gimbel, he is also survived by two daughters with Jones, Amy Lumet and Jenny Lumet, a screenwriter; a stepson, Bailey Gimbel; nine grandchildren; and a great-grandson.

Hildene announces Lincoln essay contest winnersApril 05,2013MANCHESTER Two of the winners of Hildenes annual Lincoln essay contest were students at local schools.
While first place winner Isaac Dodson, who won $1,000, is a student at Edmunds Middle School in Burlington, second place winner Sarah Mangiacotti, who received $750, is a dual student at Maple Street School in Manchester and Stratton Mountain School. There was a tie for third place, for which both students won $500, between James Reilly, of the Maple Street School, and Rebecca Berlind, of Edmunds School.
The winners of the 2013 Hildene Lincoln essay competition were selected from 145 entries submitted by eighth-grade public, independent and home study students coming from 30 Vermont schools.
The programs goal is to promote awareness in the minds of a young generation of Americans of the contributions of this nations 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. This is an objective that fits squarely within Hildenes mission: Values into Action, said Hildene executive director Seth Bongartz.
This years subject was, Is civil discourse necessary for civil society? The essays could be no longer than 500 words and were evaluated by a panel of judges based on the content, the students understanding of the subject and his or her ability to convey that understanding using good writing practices including style, composition, factual accuracy and grammar.
A celebratory luncheon will be hosted by Hildene at the Lincoln family estate on May 19, following a tour of the Lincoln family home.
Each winner, along with their parents, teacher and principal will be invited to attend. The first, second and third place winners will read their essays at the event.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...
