Euclid -- 323-285 B.C was a historical figure who taught at Alexandria in Egypt. There are three hypotheses revolving around Euclid's life. The first is that he wrote his magnum opus the Elements as also contributed a lot of other works. Another interesting hypothesis is that Euclid was a member of a group of mathematicians working at Alexandria with each one contributing to writing the 'complete works of Euclid', with the group engaged in writing books under the name of Euclid also after his demise. The third hypothesis is that Euclid of Megara lived roughly 100 years prior to Euclid of Alexandria. A team of mathematicians wrote the complete works of Euclid and took Euclid's name from Euclid of Megara. The proof surrounding the first hypothesis is significant that he wrote his magnum opus the Elements as also contributed a lot of other works. Scanty evidence is there that deny this hypothesis as it was readily accepted without any doubts for more than 2000 years. Apart from that, Euclid indisputably based the Elements of earlier works; hence it is quite possible regarding the reason behind the books written in different styles. (Euclid 323-285 B.C. Biography)
Although the first hypothesis is satisfactory, Euclid needed to have competent students who assisted him in his writing. Hence this would suggest hypothesis three, however, hypothesis three claims that different authors penned different books, but again there is little proof to suggest this. Based on the proof at hand, it will be assumed that hypothesis one is true. This leads to the fact that Euclid must have definitely studied in the academy of Plato in Athens to understand the geometry of Eudoxus and Theaetetus which is used a lot of times in his works. Since not a single work of Euclid's work contains a preface, it is not possible to gather much insights regarding any of his character from his works, therefore much knowledge about the life and the character of Euclid is absent. In this backdrop, Papus wrote that Euclid was " ... The more fair and well disposed towards all who were able in any measure to advance mathematics, careful in no way to give offence, and although an exact scholar not vaunting himself." (Euclid 323-285 B.C. Biography)
Euclid contributed to mathematics through many books, but his most renowned one is his discourse on mathematics the Elements. The book Elements is a compilation of geometrical knowledge which is gained through meticulous proof that has come to be the core of teaching geometry for the last two hundred years. Euclid gathered his results from other sources; however he organized them into 13 Books with definition, proofs, and several lemmas. The treatise Elements is divided into 13 Books. Each one of them deals with a particular aspect of Geometry. Euclid relied on a major part of what be proves on the studies of other mathematicians, however he established a use of rigorous proofs which was novel to the study of mathematics and used by everyone who followed him. After the Holy Bible, the Elements are the most translated and studied among all books. (Euclid 323-285 B.C: Discoveries)
Euclid was known as the father of geometry. His book, the Elements contains the properties of geometrical objects and integers are attained from a small set of axioms, thus starting the axiomatic method of modern mathematics. Besides, Euclid's contribution has been on 'perspective', 'conic sections', 'spherical geometry' and 'quadric surfaces'. Even though several results in Elements started with earlier mathematicians, one of Euclid's important accomplishments was to put them in a distinct, logically coherent framework. Apart from providing some missing proofs, Euclid's text too includes sections on the number theory and 'three-dimensional geometry'. The geometrical system as explained in the book Elements was for a substantial period known as 'the' geometry. (Euclid: Wikipedia)
However, in the present era, it is pointed to as the Euclidean geometry to separate it from other non-Euclidean geometries that were discovered during the 19th century. These new geometries developed out of more than two millennia of investigations into Euclid's fifth postulate, which is one of the most-studied axioms in entire study of mathematics. Majority of these investigations tries to prove the comparatively intricate and presumably non-intuitive fifth postulate applying the other four, which is an accomplishment, if successful, would have demonstrated the postulate to be in fact a theorem. Whereas the Elements was used in the greater part of 20th century as a textbook on geometry and has been regarded an excellent instance of the formally precise axiomatic method, Euclid's treatment is unable to be comparable to modern standards of firmness, some logically useful axioms are not present and the explanations of primitive terms refer to spatial intuition. (Euclid: Wikipedia)
Euclid based his contribution in Book-I on 23 definitions like 'point', 'line' & 'surface', 5 'postulates' and 5 'common notions' both of which are presently known as 'axioms'. Some of the important postulates in Book I are (i) A straight-line segment can be drawn by connecting any 2 points. (ii) A straight-line segment can be expanded without limitations in straight line. (iii) A circle can be drawn by making use of the segment as radius & one end-point as centre when given a straight-line segment. (iv) Every right angle is congruent. (v) If 2 lines are drawn that have intersection with a third line in such a manner that the total of the inner angles on one side is not correct 2 right angles, then the 2 lines definitely should intersect one another on that side if expanded greatly. These basic principles show constructive geometry which Euclid together with his contemporary Greeks was eager upon. (Euclid's Elements: Wikipedia)
The first 3 postulates fundamentally mention the constructions one is able to perform with a compass and a straightedge of ruler which is not marked. The success of Elements is fundamentally because of its logical presentation of majority of the mathematical knowledge that is available to Euclid. Till the later part of 19th century, Elements was regarded as one of the best instances of a whole deductive structure: every of its component was believed to follow logically from its earlier components. Elements are even used in modern times as a sufficient example of the application of logic, and traditionally it has been heavily influential in a lot of spheres of science. European scientists Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and particularly Newton were all inspired by Elements and applied their knowledge of it to their realm of work. Among the 5 postulates, the ultimate one so-called as 'parallel postulate' appears to be less obvious compared to others. (Euclid's Elements)
In mathematics, Euclidean geometry is the type of geometry on the plane or in types of three dimensions which is familiar. Mathematicians at times make use of the term to denote higher levels of dimensional geometries having similar properties. Euclidean goemetry at times refer to geometry in the plane that is also known as 'plane geometry' usually taught in high schools and Euclidean geometry in three dimensions is conventionally known as solid geometry. The traditional presentation of Euclidean geometry is as an axiomatic system, containing the proof all the true statements as theorems in geometry from a set of finite number of axioms. Presently, Euclidean geometry is normally constructed instead of axiomatized through analytic geometry. In case someone introduces geometry in this manner, one can then prove the Euclidean axioms as theorems in this particular model. However, this fails to possess the beauty of axiomatic method, but it is very concise. (Euclidean Geometry)
The Fifth postulate is one of the most studied axioms in the complete study of mathematics. Majority of the investigations focused around an attempt to prove Euclid's Fifth postulate from his other postulates which is now called as axioms, fundamentally demonstrating that the Fifth postulate was…[continue]

Since 1997, Groton State Forest has hosted Vermont's Becoming an Outdoor Family workshop. For three days each spring, this annual event gives families the opportunity to camp, enjoy the park, and learn outdoor skills. More than 40 different hands-on classes are offered during the weekend. They showcase the wide variety of outdoor activities available to Vermonters, and help instill a basic understanding of environmental conservation. The only thing better than spending time outdoors, is spending time outdoors with your family.
OJ 603 Seg 1
A century ago Vermont had a very different landscape. Intensive logging and massive forest fires decimated our woodlands. But today, due to the creation of the National Forest Service as well as strict forest management practices, 78% of Vermont is now forested. One of the state's natural gems is Groton State Forest. Within the park's 28,000 acres, lie six state parks and an abundance of recreational opportunities.
OJ 805 Seg 2
One of the outstanding attractions of Brighton State Park is its remoteness. The wild lands to the northeast and southeast of the town of Island Pond are suited to the angler, the hunter, or the outdoor lover who likes to roam away from developed roads or towns. Brighton State Park is located on the shores of Spectacle Pond. A sandy day use beach and bathhouse is located on Island Pond just a half mile from the campground.
OJ 804 Seg 2
The Town of Lake Elmore calls itself 'The Beauty Spot of Vermont." And Elmore State Park is a perfect place to enjoy the scenery and activities in the area. The park had its beginning in 1936 when the town of Elmore and local citizens made a gift of 30 acres on Lake Elmore to the state of Vermont. With modest means, a picnic and beach area were created. Today, with more than 700 acres, Elmore State Park has become a very enjoyable recreation facility. Elmore State Park is staffed by the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC), in an educational partnership with the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation.

We visit a hidden gem within the great Vermont State Park system, Alburg Dunes State Park. This 625-acre property became a state park in 1996. It is named for the sand dunes near the center and western end of the south-facing natural sand beach. This beach is amongst the longest beaches on Lake Champlain.
Vermont PBS educates, informs, entertains and inspires Vermonters to be lifelong learners and engaged in their community.

Jejeebhoy J. Shireen - Women's Education, autonomy, and reproductive behaviour
Dodaj do koszyka
This is a research survey, commissioned by the UNFPA, of the measurable effects of women's education on fertility and female autonomy. Women's access to education is a fundamental right, empowering women and affecting their demographic behaviour. However, beyond some general assertions, there is little consensus on the exact nature of the relationships between education, fertility, and autonomy. This study reviews the considerable evidence from the developing world that has emerged over the last twenty years, and then passes beyond the limits of previous studies to address these relationships. Supported by full documentation of available survey data, it concludes that such contextual factors as the overall level of socioeconomic development and the situation of women in traditional kinship structures complicate the general assumptions. It lays out the policy implications of these findings and fruitful directions for future research.

Klingemann Fuchs CITIZENS AND THE STATE
This book is the first in the 'Beliefs in government' series, and examines the general consensus that the relationship between citizens and the state in Western European societies have undergone a fundamental change over the last few decades, to the detriment of representative democracy. Addressing the problem from the citizen's perspective, it identifies the ten fundamental components of the view that representative democracy is under threat, and then proceeds to test them empirically against the dataset supplied by the Beliefs in Government research project. The results are startling. They refute the idea that citizens in Western Europe have withdrawn support from their democracies, but show exactly how the citizen–state relationship has changed over recent years. Traditional forms of expression have clearly declined, but others have evolved in their place. Citizens have become more critical towards politicians and political parties, and they are prepared to use non‐institutionalized forms of political action to pursue their goals and interests.

Customer Reviews
I now understand the Mona Lisa!!!
Wow thanx to this app and the clarity of the iPad I understand why the Mona Lisa is such an important painting. Her eyes are mesmerizing if you really look into them. I'd travel half way around the world to see that painting but I don't have to cause of my iPad.
Hint: If you add the three finger zoom in accessibility menu in the settings you can really see into her eyes with it!!
Would like more paintings
Would like to see more paintings and have the ability to view the paintings full screen as well as zoom in. Also there is one painting that is mislabeled. "wheat field with cypresses" was painted by Vincent Van Gogh, not Claude Monet.
No nudity<3
So nice to enjoy and expose my young children to art without nudity present, thank you. Lovely choices of masterpieces.

Dates: 3 October-29 November 2009 | Location: Spacex, Exeter
Spacex has staged a bit of a coup is securing the first UK show by Shaun Gladwell, who was a hit representing Australia at this year's Venice Biennale. Gladwell's video offers everything you might want from art… beautiful, considered, political… with some skateboarding and roadkill thrown in.
Seven Year Linework presents a selection of projects that are drawn from Gladwell's ongoing investigations of conceptual drawings rendered in video. Beginning with one of Gladwell's earliest experiments in video, the exhibition includes a series of recorded performances from different points of view. Gladwell's use of slow motion has become a trademark of the artist's aesthetic style, however the video projects in this exhibition regard a sense of slowed motion in real time footage.

Littlej, indeed, everyone (almost) now is naming their boy jayden or similar spelling. I cannot understand (that's just me). I like Alison, Ashley, Adam. Haha so funny if you really decide on the name Muffin for your boy! Actually I've heard more funky ones (think hong kongers). Alien. Cloud. Kitty. And these are celebrities.
Hehe I did feel I was being geh-kiang when Dr Chew corrected me I cant totally trust FF. I am supposed to see him when I have smiley opk. Likely 23jul. Same day as Rav will reveal gender!
Missy10, hahah...that must be a compliment right. How I wish those aunties will push me away from the sale cart and tell me to find at racks. Actually marks n spencer has nice bras for bigger chested ladies. I am always fascinated by their minimiser bras. I guess I will never have a chance to own one.
Lishan, lol oh sorry but that's so silly of them! Maybe you shopping for your girlfriends mah. Cannot push you away like that.
Bingo, im a HL milk drinker when im having my puberty, then all along i was drinking HL until 4 yrs back I realised it's powedered-milk rather than fresh milk then i stopOriginally Posted by littlej:806744
I not E yet, all along a D
i was drinking papaya milkshake even after puberty. it helps me a little. doesnt it?
For girl names - me like Rachel, Sarah, Kimberly.. And yes Dragontail kudos to Ashley and Allison too!
Hahah - when I was around 16 years old, I heard drinking HL milk helps to So I started drinking faithfully every recess time... After one year no change so I have up. Guess already passed puberty then - I was too late into the game!!!
Everytime I go to the bra section in Bkk, SA will pounce on me and start waving maximizers in my face. They see my size they know what I need =p
Oooo - sounds like 23 July is gonna be a big day! Very very close to my birthday so Dragontail - you're in my birthday wish and prayer =)
missy10 - I thought powdered milk makes one fat if its drunk after puberty? I had another ex colleague who drank all the way til secondary sch.. then stopped cuz her cheeks got so puffy.. I believe she is an A...
Oooo!!! So exciting for dragontail and Rav!
My temps have started to drop at 9dpo. So I guess it looks like I'm likely out of the game this cycle.
Woke up at 3am to pee, couldnt get back to sleep. Read all the new posts. Dragontail shld sleep earlier . Keke. If not your future sticky beanie will be a night owl like mine, do disco in the wee hours of the night.
Hmm...I drank alot of HL milk when I was in my teens too. Maybe thats the key to boobs development & height. Hurhur. My mum is a small b but she is very slim & shorter so I guess it balanced out?
Littlej, you upped 2 cup sizes!? Thats alot! Still got potential to hit a D when you start breastfeeding No drastic change in my cup size but hope that I will have enough milk for baby when the time comes.
Weekend is almost here ladies! Can't wait to check out the newly renovated suntec city. Think I am spending my most weekends window shopping. Mild exercise is good during pregnancy right? Heehee
littlej - me android user.... anyone else on iphone?
Julian is a nice name.. but afraid those old cheena aunties cant pronounce right n it will sound like 'pig face'..
hehe... remember must match with surname too! sarah sounds nice but my hubby is lee (lee is so boring! unlike mine hehe)... so will become 'sarah lee' cake!!
last night hubby asked.. if our twin a is a boy.. do I have a name... I said no not yet... still nameless... then he said oh! lee wu ming (lee no name!!!) what the hell is wrong with my man?!

CURRENCY MARKETS; Dollar Declines in the U.S.; Gold Prices Mostly Lower
Published: February 27, 1992
The dollar declined on profit taking in domestic trading yesterday after posting gains overseas.
Gold prices were mostly lower worldwide. On the New York Commodity Exchange, gold bullion for current delivery settled at $349.60 an ounce, off 20 cents from Tuesday. The Republic National Bank said gold was unchanged at a late bid price of $349.50 an ounce.
The dollar advanced in foreign trading overnight, building on its impressive move upward in the previous session. But analysts said it had begun to falter slightly when the Malaysian central bank stepped in and sold dollars for German marks.
The move was considered speculative rather than an attempt to influence the direction of trading, said Randolph Donney, research director at Pegasus Econometric Group in Hoboken, N.J.
When activity shifted to domestic markets, the dollar was initially supported by a Commerce Department report showing orders to United States factories for durable goods rose 1.5 percent in January. The report represented a rebound from the biggest drop in more than a year just a month earlier.
But the dollar failed to sustain any advance, and traders quickly stepped in to take profits.
"There might be a slight change of sentiment that the dollar can't go higher, and traders might be looking to test the downside," said Bob Morrissey, a senior dealer at the Bank of Boston.
Trading was moderate.
In Tokyo, the dollar closed at 129.73 yen, up 0.41 yen from Tuesday's close. Later in London, the dollar was quoted at 129.70 yen. In New York the dollar settled at 129.20 yen, down from 129.90 yen on Tuesday..
In London, the British pound fell to $1.7460, from $1.7560 late Tuesday. In New York it cost $1.7550 to buy one pound, more expensive than Tuesday's $1.7380.
Other late dollar rates in New York, compared with late Tuesday's rates, include: 1.6453 German marks, down from 1.6595; 1.4935 Swiss francs, down from 1.5065; 5.5920 French francs, down from 5.6410; 1,234.75 Italian lire, down from 1,245.25, and 1.1789 Canadian dollars, down from 1.1860.

Whether obtained by microscopes, space probes, or the human eye, the same basic tools can be applied to acquire, process, and analyze the data contained in images. Ideal for self study, The Image Processing Handbook, Sixth Edition, first published in 1992, raises the bar once again as the gold-standard reference on this subject. Using extensive new illustrations and diagrams, it offers a logically organized exploration of the important relationship between 2D images and the 3D structures they reveal. Provides Hundreds of Visual Examples in FULL COLOR! The author focuses on helping readers visualize and compare processing and measurement operations and how they are typically combined in fields ranging from microscopy and astronomy to real-world scientific, industrial, and forensic applications. Presenting methods in the order in which they would be applied in a typical workflowafrom acquisition to interpretationathis book compares a wide range of algorithms used to: Improve the appearance, printing, and transmission of an image Prepare images for measurement of the features and structures they reveal Isolate objects and structures, and measure their size, shape, color, and position Correct defects and deal with limitations in images Enhance visual content and interpretation of details This handbook avoids dense mathematics, instead using new practical examples that better convey essential principles of image processing. This approach is more useful to develop readersa grasp of how and why to apply processing techniques and ultimately process the mathematical foundations behind them. Much more than just an arbitrary collection of algorithms, this is the rare book that goes beyond mere image improvement, presenting a wide range of powerful example images that illustrate techniques involved in color processing and enhancement. Applying his 50-year experience as a scientist, educator, and industrial consultant, John Russ offers the benefit of his image processing expertise for fields ranging from astronomy and biomedical research to food science and forensics. His valuable insights and guidance continue to make this handbook a must-have reference.For example, comparing Oklahoma to Missouri is tricky because the panhandle of Oklahoma is pretty skinny and easily overlooked ...

When cooking bacon, use wooden chopsticks to flip the strips over. This makes it easy to flip one slice at a time for even cooking. Use the chopsticks to mash down any strips that are wavy, and your bacon will be picture perfect. Plus, you will not scratch your nonstick cookware!
By Ivy from Rancho Palos Verdes
Cook bacon in your oven, just lay it out and bake at 350 until done. No flipping needed.

Coachella 2010 Day 3: Local Natives impress at Gobi
L.A. based Local Natives may remember day three of Coachella as their breakout performance.
Playing to an overflowing Gobi tent, Local Natives made the most of their first Coachella.
"Growing up in Southern California, Coachella has always been a dream of ours," singer/guitarist Ryan Hahn said, and the band played like it had nothing to lose.
Tribal rhythms created a frenetic energy as the band played songs from "Gorilla Manor," their February release. Soaring three-part harmonies are the band's strength (think Fleet Foxes) made more dramatic by the crowd joining in, as in the chorus of "Airplanes." Another highlight was the band's cover of the Talking Heads "Warning Sign": the guitar was straight David Byrne, but the additional harmonies took an already great song to another level. (Gossip's Beth Ditto dropped "Psychokiller" into her set yesterday, another tip of the hat to the Talking Heads.)
Keep your eye on Local Natives, this surely won't be their last festival appearance.

IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Yolo)
February 9, 2012
IN RE DE.D. ET AL., PERSONS COMING UNDER THE JUVENILE COURT LAW. YOLO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL SERVICES, PLAINTIFF AND RESPONDENT,v.A.D., DEFENDANT AND APPELLANT.
(Super. Ct. Nos. JV09-441, JV09-442)
In re De.D.
California Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(a), prohibits courts and parties from citing or relying on opinions not certified for publication or ordered published, except as specified by rule 8.1115(b). This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115.
A.D., the mother of five-year-old De.D. and three-year-old Da.D., appeals from orders of the Yolo County Juvenile Court denying her petitions for modification and terminating her parental rights. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 366.26, 388.)*fn1
On appeal, mother contends (1) denial of her modification motion seeking further reunification services was error, and (2) insufficient evidence supports the finding that the children were likely to be adopted. We shall affirm the orders.
Originating Circumstances
In September 2009, an off-duty Woodland Police detective observed Da.D. in the middle of a public street and De.D. seated on the curb. The detective saw an adult male grab, lift, shake, hit, and forcefully set down Da.D. before escorting the boys back to their house. The detective flagged down a police officer and the duo returned to the area. The adult male (later determined to be mother's boyfriend) was detained and arrested for felony child abuse. The children were located in the care of another adult male who had mental health issues and was unaware that he was supposed to be watching the children. Instead, the male believed an adult female, a known and avid heroin user who was not present, was supposed to be watching the children. Mother had not been seen since early that morning.
Petitions and Detention
In September 2009, petitions were filed alleging that mother failed to protect the children due to her substance abuse, failure to complete prior voluntary case plans, and present and past involvement with domestic violence. (§ 300, subd. (b).) The petitions also alleged that the children had been left with inappropriate caretakers and mother's whereabouts was unknown. (§ 300, subd. (g).)*fn2
In September 2009, the juvenile court found that there was a prima facie case for detention and made the appropriate findings and orders.
Jurisdiction and Disposition
At a jurisdictional hearing in October 2009, mother submitted to the petitions' allegations as slightly modified. The juvenile court sustained the allegations as modified. At a dispositional hearing in November 2009, the court continued the children's out-of-home placement and ordered mother to participate fully in family reunification services.
An early review to check on mother's progress was scheduled for February 3, 2010. At the review, it was reported that mother was doing well in residential treatment but had suffered a relapse.
Six-month Review
In reports for the May 2010 six-month review, the Yolo County Department of Employment and Social Services (the Department) recommended that family reunification services cease because mother failed to participate regularly and make substantive progress on her court-ordered case plan. Mother's counsel requested a contested hearing.
At the contested hearing in June 2010, the review reports were received into evidence. The social worker and mother testified. The juvenile court found that there was not a substantial probability that the children could be returned to mother within the statutory time frame. The court terminated services to mother and set a selection and implementation hearing for October 2010.
Selection and Implementation
The Department filed a selection and implementation report requesting a 90-day continuance to locate a prospective adoptive home. The juvenile court granted the request and continued the matter to January 2011.
In January 2011, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) filed an adoption assessment addendum stating that the children's caretakers, who previously had been concerned whether they could provide for the children on a permanent basis, had since concluded that they could do so. The addendum found the caretakers suitable for adoption of the children. That same month, the Department filed a further selection and implementation report recommending termination of parental rights and adoption by the caretakers. The parents requested a contested hearing, which was set for April 2011.
Petitions for Modification
In April 2011, mother filed modification petitions (§ 388) requesting that the court change its orders ceasing her reunification services. The juvenile court found that the petitions stated a prima facie case of changed circumstances. Mother testified. The court denied the petitions and proceeded to the issue of termination of parental rights.
After receiving evidence and brief argument, the juvenile court stated it was prepared to terminate parental rights. The court referred the matter to a "consortium for children" for an evaluation of postadoption contact with the parents.
In June 2011, the juvenile court confirmed that the consortium had met with the parties and was working toward an agreement. The court terminated parental rights and freed the children for adoption.
I. Section 388 Petitions
Mother contends the juvenile court erred when it denied her section 388 petitions for additional reunification services. We are not persuaded.
A. Background
Mother's case plan, adopted in November 2009, required her to participate in individual counseling, parenting classes, drug testing, and an outpatient substance abuse treatment program.
Mother was incarcerated from October 2010 to January 2011. Thereafter, she was in a residential treatment program from January 27 to February 28, 2011, when she was medically discharged due to high blood pressure. Two to three weeks later, she began participating in a weekly "pretreatment" program until Medi-Cal funding was approved for an outpatient program. In April 2011, mother began attending thrice-weekly outpatient sessions that lasted two to three hours. In addition, mother attended Narcotics Anonymous meetings and obtained drug testing through the probation department.
Mother testified that she had obtained a Narcotics Anonymous sponsor the previous week and was working on the first of 12 steps. Mother conceded that she had "messed up the first time" she was offered services. This time, mother planned on "sticking to" her steps, her sponsor, and her support group; completing her outpatient program; and obtaining employment and residence.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the juvenile court stated: "The court is hopeful that the mother will continue her efforts for sobriety. That is very important first for her and for her family. [¶] But we're still early in that process. Even though the court believes and I accept the words that the minors' attorney has used that there is a--these are changing circumstances. They are changing circumstances in a positive way but they are not--there's more work to be done as evidence[d] by the fact Mom begins her outpatient treatment program this afternoon. [¶] Even if the court were to find there were changed circumstances, the evidence is clear that these boys are being well cared for where they are now. They have been there quite some time. They have a positive relationship with the caregivers, the foster parents, and there is stability where they are currently placed. [¶] So the court is going to deny the [section] 388 [petitions] for the reasons stated."
B. Analysis
A parent may bring a petition for modification of any order of the juvenile court pursuant to section 388 based on new evidence or a showing of changed circumstances.*fn3 "The parent requesting the change of order has the burden of establishing that the change is justified. [Citation.] The standard of proof is preponderance of the evidence." (In re Michael B. (1992) 8 Cal.App.4th 1698, 1703.)
Determination of a petition to modify is committed to the sound discretion of the juvenile court and, absent a showing of a clear abuse of discretion, the decision of the juvenile court must be upheld. (In re Stephanie M. (1994) 7 Cal.4th 295, 318-319; In re Robert L. (1993) 21 Cal.App.4th 1057, 1067.) The best interests of the child are of paramount consideration when the petition is brought after termination of reunification services. (In re Stephanie M., supra, at p. 317.) In assessing the best interests of the child, the juvenile court looks not to the parent's interests in reunification but to the needs of the child for permanence and stability. (Ibid.; In re Marilyn H. (1993) 5 Cal.4th 295, 309.)
A petition that alleges "changing," as opposed to "changed," circumstances effectively asks the court to delay the selection of a permanent home for a child to see if a parent, who has failed to reunify with the child, might be able to reunify at some future point. Granting such a petition does not promote stability for the child or the child's best interests. (In re Casey D. (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 38, 47.) Mother's attempt to distinguish In re Casey D. on its facts does not suggest that this legal principle is somehow inapplicable to the present case.
In the heading of her argument, mother claims "substantial evidence supports the finding that [her] circumstances had changed." In the body of the argument, mother claims "the evidence showed that mother's circumstances had changed sufficiently to warrant granting her modification request." In the conclusion of this argument, mother argues "it was not too 'early in the process' to find that her circumstances had sufficiently changed to satisfy the first prong of the section 388 test."
Mother's contentions fail because they disregard the juvenile court's ruling. The court did not find that mother's circumstances had changed; had the court made that finding, it would have had no occasion to preface a portion of its discussion with the words, "if the court were to find there were changed circumstances." (Italics added.)
Mother's arguments that it was not "too early" to find changed circumstances, and that substantial evidence supported such a finding, simply establish that the court would have been entitled to make a different order. The arguments fail to identify any infirmity in the order actually made.
Elsewhere in her briefing, mother recognizes that the reviewing court "will not interfere unless the trial court exceeded the limits of legal discretion by making an arbitrary or patently absurd determination." However, mother does not contend the juvenile court's finding of "changing," as opposed to "changed," circumstances somehow exceeds the bounds of the court's legal discretion. For example, mother does not argue that she was too far along in her recovery process to support the court's finding that circumstances had not changed. Any such contention is forfeited. (E.g., People v. Hardy (1992) 2 Cal.4th 86, 150.)
In any event, the juvenile court's finding is well within the limits of its sound discretion. Mother had completed just one month of residential treatment and was not scheduled to begin outpatient treatment until the conclusion of the modification hearing. She was on the first of 12 steps of narcotics recovery. There is no suggestion that she had obtained employment or residence. This record amply supports the finding that mother's circumstances were changing but had not sufficiently changed. There was no abuse of discretion. (In re Stephanie M., supra, 7 Cal.4th at pp. 318-319.) It is not necessary to consider mother's argument that insufficient evidence supports the juvenile court's finding that further reunification services were not in the children's best interests.
II. Order Terminating Parental Rights
Mother contends the order terminating parental rights must be reversed because it was based on insufficient evidence that the children were likely to be adopted within a reasonable time. We are not convinced.
In October 2010, CDSS filed an adoption assessment that concluded the children were likely to be adopted. CDSS noted that the children were "very bonded" to their caretakers, but the caretakers had not committed to adoption. CDSS acknowledged that the children were considered "difficult . . . to place" because they were a "sibling group." However, CDSS was confident that a suitable family would be found if the current caretakers elected not to proceed with the adoption. CDSS recommended that the juvenile court order a permanent plan of adoption and continue the case 90 days to "locate an appropriate adoptive family."
In January 2011, CDSS filed an addendum to its October 2010 assessment. CDSS noted that, in the additional time allowed by the continuance, the caretakers had determined that they could commit to the adoption. CDSS recommended that the juvenile court terminate parental rights and order a permanent plan of adoption.
At the hearing in April 2011, the social worker testified that the caretakers had never expressed uncertainty regarding their desire to provide permanency for the children. Their sole concern was financial after the prospective father became unemployed. He later became employed and the couple could not "picture not having the boys in their home."
"In reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal, we look to the entire record to determine whether there is substantial evidence to support the findings of the juvenile court. We do not pass judgment on the credibility of witnesses, attempt to resolve conflicts in the evidence, or determine where the weight of the evidence lies. Rather, we draw all reasonable inferences in support of the findings, view the record in the light most favorable to the juvenile court's order, and affirm the order even if there is other evidence that would support a contrary finding. [Citation.] When the [juvenile] court makes findings by the elevated standard of clear and convincing evidence, the substantial evidence test remains the standard of review on appeal. [Citation.] The appellant has the burden of showing that there is no evidence of a sufficiently substantial nature to support the order." (In re Cole C. (2009) 174 Cal.App.4th 900, 915-916.)
"If the court determines, based on the assessment . . . and any other relevant evidence, by a clear and convincing standard, that it is likely the child will be adopted, the court shall terminate parental rights and order the child placed for adoption. The fact that the child is not yet placed in a preadoptive home nor with a relative or foster family who is prepared to adopt the child, shall not constitute a basis for the court to conclude that it is not likely the child will be adopted. . . ." (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1).)
Determination of whether a child is likely to be adopted focuses first upon the characteristics of the child. (In re Sarah M. (1994) 22 Cal.App.4th 1642, 1649.) "[T]here must be convincing evidence of the likelihood that adoption will take place within a reasonable time." (In re Brian P. (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 616, 624.) The fact that a prospective adoptive family is willing to adopt the minor is evidence that the minor is likely to be adopted by that family or some other family in a reasonable time. (In re Lukas B. (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 1145, 1154.)
Mother contends the CDSS adoption assessment and addendum do not constitute sufficient evidence of adoptability.*fn4 She relies on In re Brian P., supra, 99 Cal.App.4th 616, which held a social worker's opinion is not sufficient by itself to support adoptability. (Id. at p. 624.) Brian P. explained that the juvenile court in that case "did not have the benefit of an adoption assessment report, which would have presented the kind of facts needed to support a finding of adoptability." (Ibid.) Here, in contrast, the juvenile court had the CDSS adoption assessment as well as the social worker's opinion; the court also knew that one prospective adoptive family was willing to adopt the children. Thus, the court could conclude that the children were likely to be adopted by that family or some other family in a reasonable time. (In re Lukas B., supra, 79 Cal.App.4th at p. 1154.)
"'[I]t is only common sense that when there is a prospective adoptive home in which the child is already living, and the only indications are that, if matters continue, the child will be adopted into that home, adoptability is established. In such a case, the literal language of the statute is satisfied, because "it is likely" that that particular child will be adopted.'" (In re K.B. (2009) 173 Cal.App.4th 1275, 1293.)
Mother relies on In re Jerome D. (2000) 84 Cal.App.4th 1200, in which an adoption assessment was prepared but held to be inadequate in that it failed to address the prospective adoptive parent's criminal and Child Protective Services history as required by statute. (Id. at p. 1205.) Here, in contrast, the assessment addendum stated that "[t]he potential adoptive parents reported no criminal or child abuse record."
Mother cites In re Jayson T. (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 75 for the proposition that adoptability should not be based solely upon a caretaker's willingness to adopt. However, Jayson T. did not identify any other specific evidence that must be adduced before a juvenile court finds a child adoptable. Rather, Jayson T. held that where an adoptive placement fails during the pendency of an appeal, appellate counsel for the minor can raise the issue that the children are not adoptable. (Id. at pp. 87-91.) Jayson T. has since been disapproved on this point. (In re Zeth S. (2003) 31 Cal.4th 396, 413-414.)
Mother concedes that the caretakers ultimately chose to pursue the adoption, but she argues they "seemed" less than fully committed. (Citing In re K.B., supra, 173 Cal.App.4th at pp. 1293-1294.) However, as noted, the caretakers never expressed any uncertainty as to providing permanency for the children. The couple could not "picture not having the boys in their home." Their only hesitation was financial, in that the father had become unemployed; this concern was resolved when he obtained new employment. Mother's reliance on In re K.B. is misplaced. The adoptability finding is supported by substantial evidence. (In re Cole C., supra, 174 Cal.App.4th at pp. 915-916.)
The orders are affirmed.

"In 1963, more than a quarter-million people came together in Washington, DC for The Great March for Jobs and Freedom, a watershed moment in black history. As we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of this event and reflect on the progress we've made toward economic equality, we are faced with the sobering truth that—while much has been achieved—so much more needs to be done." – Marc H. Morial, President & CEO, National Urban League
For Marc Morial, one of the most pressing issues facing African Americans in 2013 is the widening wealth gap between blacks and whites.
"These conditions have not changed," Morial said in an interview with BlackAmericaWeb.com.
On Wednesday, Morial will release the National Urban League's annual State of Black America report, "Redeem the Dream," which will outline in detail the economic challenges confronting black Americans 50 years after Dr. Martin Luther King's historic March on Washington.
While Morial said there are more black high school graduates than 50 years ago, and less black people living in poverty than in 1963, the wealth gap between blacks and whites remains a critical problem in the fight for economic parity.
"In this report," Morial said, "we also offer solutions."
The solutions include a five-year initiative to expand job training programs, lobbying Congress to enact social justice legislation, and working closer with the NAACP, black pastors, and Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network to help improve the quality of life for black people.
"We're working with this generation's civil rights leaders to inspire and empower the black community," Morial said. "We're not sitting on the sidelines."
Morial said the 37th edition of the State of Black America, Redeem the Dream: Jobs Rebuild America also commemorates the milestones that have occurred in black history in the 50 years since the height of the civil rights movement.
This year's publication features essays by an esteemed group of leaders from leading corporations, not-for-profit organizations, academia and news media, as well as members of the president's cabinet and federal lawmakers. The State of Black America, Redeem the Dream: Jobs Rebuild America also includes a commemorative Special Collection of essays that pay homage to the early freedom fighters in the civil rights movement.
This Special Collection includes reflections from Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), and Congressional Black Caucus Chair Marcia Fudge (D-OH).
In addition to the State of the Black Union report, the Urban League, earlier this year, announced a two-pronged initiative that includes a series of public and private investments totaling more than $70 million over the next five years. Existing programs will be supplemented and new programs created, reaching thousands of job-seekers, youth and entrepreneurs, and putting urban America back to work.
The second component of the initiative is an aggressive grassroots advocacy campaign focused on federal legislative action to create permanent pathways to employment for at-risk teenagers and young adults.
"Throughout the Great Recession, our network of nearly 100 affiliates has served as economic first responders for communities devastated by job loss," Morial said. "Urban League affiliates have a solid track record of success in creating economic opportunity and preparing people to take advantage of those opportunities. We've worked very closely with our partners in the private sector and in the federal government to maximize resources and mobilize the strength of our collaborative efforts."
The expansion comes as part of the National Urban League's ongoing "War on Unemployment" launched in 2011, which included the release of a 12-Point Plan: Putting Urban America Back to Work, and a nationwide jobs tour.

8 thoughts on "National Urban League: Wealth Gap Between Blacks and Whites Widens"
Please read the new book" The Unfinished Business of the Civil Rights Movement:Failure of A merica's Public Schools to Properly Educate its African American Student P9opulations.." Black America is in a " State of Emergency without a Sense of Urgency.."
Until we as black people start putting more of a value on education than on shoes, clothes, cars and the latest fads, the gap will remain. Until we start saving more money and teaching our kids the same, the gap will remain. Until we start attacking this problem from a two parent home and not a single parent home, the gap will remain. Until we stop supporting these politicians who do no more in our communities than give face time right before election time with all the promises that they will do different and once elected not held accountable for their actions against us, the gap will remain. But most important until our black men educate themselves and strive to educate his family on numerous ways to build, obtain,maintain and pass on wealth to the next generation of his kids, the gap will always remain.
Pingback: **PAMALA*S*POSTS**
And things are going to stay like this until we make education and personal responsibility our goal. Encourage our children to go into science, technology and the skilled trades instead of sports and music.
I'm sorry, but black people have been on the planet longer than any other race, they will never catch up. Trying to keep up with other races is futile and it's never going to happen, if it hasn't happened by now, then it never will. It's like this all over the world not just in the U.S., there is no successfully run black nation or country… it doesn't exist. Just make the most of what you have, do what you can and do it well, and find success where you can… stop trying to keep up, it's embarrassing.

JOHN C. KEISLING, APPELLANTv.CARLYNTON SCHOOL DISTRICT, APPELLEE
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County in the case of John C. Keisling v. Carlynton School District, No. 6424 of 1978.
Raymond F. Keisling, Will, Keisling, Ganassi & McCloskey, for appellant.
Larry P. Gaitens, Gaitens & Tucceri, P.C., for appellee.
Judges Colins and Palladino, and Senior Judge Kalish, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge Colins.
[ 99 Pa. Commw. Page 201]
John C. Keisling (appellant) was formerly a high school principal in the Carlynton School District (appellee). Because of an administrative reorganization, the appellant was reassigned to the position of elementary
[ 99 Pa. Commw. Page 202]
school principal. Appellant was displeased with this reassignment and consequently appealed to the School Board; however, during the course of that appeal, the parties reached a settlement, and executed a contract reflecting the terms of this settlement. The contract provided that appellant would accept the reassignment without a reduction in salary and that his salary scale would be that presently in effect for a high school principal.
The following year a dispute arose between the parties concerning computation of appellant's salary increase, which appellant asserted would have been larger if computed according to the terms of the settlement agreement. Therefore, he filed an action in assumpsit in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County.*fn1 The matter proceeded to arbitration, and an award was entered for the appellee, from which appellant appealed to the trial court, demanding a jury trial.
Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 212, and an Order of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 9 Pa. B. 3936 (1979),*fn2
[ 99 Pa. Commw. Page 203]
the trial court scheduled a pre-trial/conciliation conference for March 1, 1982, and assigned a trial date of March 11, 1982. Both dates were published in the Pittsburgh Legal Journal pursuant to Allegheny County Local Rule (A.L.R.) No. 212(II).*fn3 The appellant's attorney does not dispute that this notice was given, nor its adequacy, but forthrightly admits his failure to read the notice. Because he was unaware that a pre-trial conference was scheduled, he failed to file a pre-trial statement, containing a list of damages and witnesses, as required by A.L.R. No. 212 (VI) (A) (1). He also failed to appear at the conference.
Upon written motion of the appellee, the trial court imposed sanctions upon the appellant for his attorney's failure to attend the pre-trial conference and to file a pre-trial statement. Specifically, the trial court issued an order prohibiting the appellant from presenting any evidence on liability or damages. Further, the court directed that the case go to trial without a jury, considering appellant's failure to appear a waiver of his jury demand. Appellant's attorney asked the court to reconsider, and the court subsequently modified its order, permitting the appellant to present his own testimony and such other evidence as had been presented at the arbitration hearing, and prohibiting only such testimony not made known to the appellee. No jury was impanelled.*fn4 A trial was held and judgment entered for the appellee. This appeal followed.
There are two questions presented for our consideration by this appeal: (1) whether a trial court may deny
[ 99 Pa. Commw. Page 204]
a party's right to a jury because his attorney failed to attend a pre-trial conference; and, if so, (2) whether the trial court committed an error of law by interpreting the contract provisions in favor of the appellee. Since we find that the trial court erred in its resolution of the first issue, we will exclude discussion of the second from this opinion.
In considering the constitutional right to a jury trial, we must first note that the United States Constitution does not require states to provide jury trials in state civil cases. Minneapolis & St. L.R. Co. v. Bombolis, 241 U.S. 211 (1916); See Walker v. Sauvinet, 92 U.S. 90 (1875). (A trial by jury in suits at common law pending in the State courts is not a privilege or immunity of national citizenship which the States are forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment to abridge.) Therefore, the right in this case must be examined in light of the Pennsylvania Constitution. Article I, Section 6 of the Pennsylvania Constitution provides: "Trial by jury shall be as heretofore and the right thereof shall remain inviolate."
This right may be waived, either expressly or by implication. Wright v. Barber, 270 Pa. 186, 113 A. 200 (1921); Warden v. Zanella, 283 Pa. Superior Ct. 137, 423 A.2d 1026 (1980); Cohen v. Sykes, 180 Pa. Superior Ct. 427, 118 A.2d 208 (1955). Non-appearance for trial has been considered an implicit waiver. Lovering v. Erie Indemnity Co., 412 Pa. 551, 195 A.2d 365 (1963); McFarlane v. Hickman, 342 Pa. Superior Ct. 240, 492 A.2d 740 (1985); Downs v. Scott, 201 Pa. Superior Ct. 278, 191 A.2d 908 (1963).
Appellee places great weight upon McFarlane as authority for the correctness of the trial court's action in ordering the case to be heard sans jury. In McFarlane, the Superior Court characterized the defendant's failure to appear for trial as a waiver of his right to demand a
[ 99 Pa. Commw. Page 205]
jury trial. The critical language reads as follows: "If a defendant fails to respond to the notice of a trial he forecloses himself from complaining later that he did not have a jury trial." McFarlane, 342 Pa. Superior Ct. at 246, 492 A.2d at 743, quoting Lovering. However, appellee ignores the critical fact that the defendants in both McFarlane and Lovering received notice of the trial and then failed to appear. In the instant matter, there is no indication in the record that the appellant ever received notice from the court, or his attorney, of the pretrial conference.
We agree that an attorney's failure to keep himself informed as to schedulings concerning the cases on his docket is a grave matter. Certainly, failing to appear for a scheduled pretrial conference, following the publication of notice in the appropriate journal, is an egregious breach of the standards of conduct expected of an attorney. There are many alternative sanctions which would not preempt the innocent litigant's constitutional right to a jury trial, including the imposition of fines against the attorney, as well as the assessment of the opposing party's legal fees against the attorney who misses a conference due to his own negligence. See Medve v. Walakovits, 305 Pa. Superior Ct. 75, 451 A.2d 249 (1982); Neely v. J. A. Young & Co., Inc., 198 Pa. Superior Ct. 196, 181 A.2d 915 (1962).
None of these alternative courses of action were considered by the trial court.
It is interesting to note that the underlying litigation involves a citizen's suit against a governmental entity. The right of a citizen to hear his claim before an impartial panel, not aligned with the government, was undoubtedly one reason why the framers of our constitution chose such strong language in guaranteeing an individual's right to a trial by jury.
[ 99 Pa. Commw. Page 206]
We again emphasize that the appellant's failure to appear at the pretrial conference cannot be interpreted as a waiver of any fundamental rights, since the record is devoid of any notice directed to the appellant. When viewing the constitutional mandate that the right to a jury trial "shall remain inviolate," courts must restrict themselves in their interpretations of what conduct constitutes a waiver of this right. While local rules which impute pretrial scheduling notices to members of the bar through publication in the county legal journal are valid and, in fact, salutary, it would be ludicrous to extend such notice to the clients whom they represent.
The order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County is reversed and the matter is remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
And Now, July 24, 1986, the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, No. 6424 of 1978, dated April 2, 1984, is hereby reversed and the matter remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Jurisdiction relinquished.
Reversed and remanded.
