Nick Peyakov is going to University of Mount Union with a plan for his football career.
He wants to start at quarterback and punter, just like he did the past three seasons at Manchester High School.
Peyakov, a 2013 Manchester graduate, has committed to Mount Union and is excited to start training camp on Aug. 12.
"I am just going to try to do the best I can," Peyakov said. "I want to go in and learn the playbook and make strides there to play at quarterback. The punting is fun and all, and I will compete for the starting spot, but my main goal is to the be starting quarterback."
Peyakov, 18, said his best chance to start as a college freshman is at punter after averaging around 42 yards per punt as a high school senior.
He started for three seasons as the Panthers quarterback and punter. He added kicking to his duties last year. Over his high school career, he passed for over 7,000 yards with 72 touchdowns passing, and rushed for over 700 yards and 23 rushing touchdowns.
"Nick is one of those team players that is very coachable and you love having them on your team," Manchester football coach Jim France said. "He is a leader and I think the kids looked up to him and enjoyed playing with him.
"He did everything you asked him to do. He is a just a great kid who is well respected by everyone at Manchester."
Peyakov, who is 6-foot-3 and 205-pounds, helped Manchester make three consecutive playoff appearances. He was an All-Ohio and All-Northeast Ohio Inland District selection in Division IV, and an All-PAC choice.
Peyakov earned three letters in football and two in basketball under coach Gene Schindewolf. He plans to double major in marketing and sports business.
Peyakov said the University of Akron, Kent State and Ashland offered him preferred walk-on options.

How to Succeed at Just About Anything (2 of 3) by Jeff Strite
This content is part of a series.How to Succeed at Just About Anything (2 of 3)
Series: Technicolor Faith
Jeff Strite
Genesis 39:1-23
OPEN: Back in the 80's I read about an enthusiastic but somewhat unscrupulous salesman who was waiting to see the purchasing agent of the engineering firm. The salesman was there to submit his company's bid, or price quote, for a particular job. He couldn't help but notice, however, that a competitor's bid was on the purchasing agent's desk. Unfortunately, the actual figure was covered by a can of juice. The temptation to see the amount quoted became too much, so the salesman lifted the can. His heart sank as he watched thousands of BB's pour from the bottomless can and scatter across the floor.
Do you think he ever got business with that company again???
APPLY: That salesman wanted to be successful.
He wanted to get that contract. And so he saw an opportunity.
… all he had to do was ''cheat a little bit''
… all he had to do was touch something that wasn't his to touch
… all he had to do was (pause…) look
It was only ''one look.'' No one would know. No one would really get hurt (except the other salesman).
He probably thought to himself: He deserved this sale. People who play by the rules finish last. The other salesman would probably do the same - why should he be a chump? Any and every excuse probably ran through his mind.
He wanted to succeed. And all he had to do to get the sale, get ahead in his business, was compromise ''just a little.''
(… pause)
I. Joseph had been given a dream
He was going to be a great man. Others would bow down to him. He would be important. He would be a success in life.
But then things went horribly wrong. His brothers (filled with hate because of his dreams) beat him up and sold him into slavery. He was deprived of his home, his family, his very way of life.
He's been hauled away in chains and sold like some cow or sheep at market. And his dreams of greatness - they've ripped away from him much like h ...

The Three Parts Of Your Little Finger Reveal A Lot About Your Personality
There are many people who believes that what lies in our future is written on our palms, and there are lots of methods from which you can predict your future. Many experts can read your face and forehead and tell what your overall personality is like. Surprisingly our little finger or the pinky finger too can tell a lot about our personality. Here is how it works!
#1 First Part Of Your Little Finger
According to this method if the first part (Upper side) of your little finger is longer than the other parts of the finger then it means you are an attractive personality. You have good observation skills and you have good knowledge of the language as well. You easily attract people towards you and people get impressed by you.
#2 Second Part Of Your Little Finger
And those people, who have second part of their little finger longer than the other two parts, are very caring person, compassionate and like to help others by nature. However if the second part of your finger is smaller than other parts of your little finger then it would indicate that you are stubborn by nature and you do not like to change.

You could make it up, but why? Snip:
Following a brief discussion over the offending popcorn, the shooter whipped out a "legally registered" piece and ensured that never again would Riga's Forum cinema complex be forced to suffer offensive mastication.
Ed. note: While I wouldn't necessarily look to The Register for hard news (see their use of the phrase "popping a cap" in a crime piece), they are one of the few – if any – online news sources that bothered to run an update, correctly identifying the shooter as the one who was allegedly eating too loudly.

One of this year's biggest bats is all but officially off the trade market. The Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday announced a three-year, $27 million contract with designated hitter/first baseman Edwin Encarnacion. The deal includes a $10 million club option for 2016. Encarnacion would have become a free agent at the end of the season, so many in the industry had wondered if Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos would entertain thoughts of trading him before the July 31 non-waiver deadline. Encarnacion, 29, was viewed as an All-Star Game snub, after batting .295 with 23 home runs and 58 RBI in 83 games. The Blue Jays enter the second half with a 43-43 record, tied with the Boston Red Sox for fourth in the American League East. They are only 2 1/2 games out in the wild card standings.

Ground beef Garlic Salt 2 scallions, chopped Grated Cheddar Cheese I browned the ground beef in a skillet with the scallions and sprinkled the mix with garlic salt. When everything was browned, drain the excess grease. I sprinkled about 1/2 - 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese and mixed it through the beef to let it melt. Served on a plate, it was similar to eating a cheese steak without the bread. No carbs in the beef. 1.2 g net in 1/4 c. green onions check your packaging for carbs in your cheddar cheese.

Sunrise SunsetMature
I always marveled at the romantified stories. The glitz, the glamour. People, if you only knew. I was so tired, you think living forever is wonderful... think again!
What a beautiful sunrise, I thanked Him, or someone for the opportunity to see it. They say the angels sing His praises at sunrise, aren't they blessed? I stood there on the veranda, the first sensation was warmth, then it began to sting, then.. well then. (smile)
I'm a "halfer", how many of us were there, just one, me. And I have been around for too many lifetimes. I'd hunted and killed the most dangerous of the undead. Would be nice to have help perhaps the "Daywalker, Blade" but he didn't exist. There was only me, and if I were to show my true age, you would only find dust. No, there was no daywalk for me, no magic elixer, no shots that kept me in check, that kept me from the sweet juice that you carried in your veins. Only the red viscous juice could cool the fire, could stop the deep penetrating pain that engulfed me, that crawled through my insides, that turned my brown eyes crimson. Yes people, you are so sweet to me.
Ah I was cold, I hated that. The human half of me still shivered, I was always uncomfortable. I longed for the sun, but that wouldn't happen at least not right now.
There is a bad one out there, he kills not just for food, but just because he can. He enjoyed the carnal life. What's the difference you say? Ha, I am female, I cannot plant a seed, he can, while I was born to a vampiress and a human father, this seed would be procreated, it would be half him, half human, with all the attributes of both parents. It would be dangerous. Even I would not be able to kill it.
Well, now I lay me down to sleep, I pray for you people your blood to keep, if you should die before I wake, thank the lord for goodness sake... ha ha ha

The European Union has said it will give Yemen €5.1 million in aid amid warnings that the international humanitarian response to the situation in the strife-ridden country remains inadequate, SIA informs citing the AA.
EU's funding announced Thursday will go to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which will help provide food, water, medical supplies and other essential aid to the most vulnerable victims, according to the European Commission.
Christos Stylianides, European commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management, said in a statement Thursday: "Due to the extremely challenging security situation, the International Committee of the Red Cross is one of the very few international humanitarian agencies in Yemen still able to deliver much needed aid to the victims of the conflict".

PinstripesPlus.com: Estee, talk about your year last season. What do you think of the year you had?
Estee Harris: It started out a little rough for me, but I think I was able to make some adjustments later in the year and I was able to finish a lot better than I started. The team was doing really well, and even though I struggled personally, there wasn't as much pressure. I think even though my stats might not show it, I contributed to the team winning and I was more happy about that. Of course you'd like to have a great year for yourself. But you don't want to just have a good year yourself, but help the team win too.
PinstripesPlus: When I saw you in Spring Training, you were seemingly one of the harder workers out there but yet you didn't have a great year last season. Was it a frustrating year for you?
Harris: Yeah, it was frustrating in the sense that I worked hard, but it was just one of those things. Baseball is one of the hardest games to play and it is a grind. I know I'm a lot better player than I played last year. I'm just going to have to work through it. I thoroughly enjoyed playing on that team [Charleston]. It seemed like everyone cared more about the team than they did about their own personal numbers, so that helped soften the blow. I didn't lose any confidence or anything last year.
PinstripesPlus: What are you doing this offseason to get ready for next year?
Harris: I'm working with a personal trainer six days a week. I'm also hitting and throwing everyday. I've been pretty busy actually. I'm just preparing for next season.
PinstripesPlus: Despite the struggles last season, you seemed to be smiling all the time, even through the tedious drills in Spring Training.
Harris: Well, I wouldn't rather be doing anything else. I was still very happy even at my lowest points in the year because I was playing baseball. It doesn't get any better than that.
PinstripesPlus: Even though the average wasn't where you and the Yankees would like it to be, it seems that you still racked up a good amount of extra-base hits. You're not a big guy at all. How are you able to hit for such good power?
Harris: I think my good bat speed translates into good pop off the bat when I make contact. I've never considered myself a power hitter, but a guy that can hit for power. It is a weird thing. I wind up hitting the ball pretty hard even though I'm not necessarily trying to do that. I'm just up there trying to put the ball in play.
PinstripesPlus: Considering the struggles you had last season, are you still thinking that you'll begin the year with the Tampa club?
Harris: You always want to shoot high. I want to try and break Spring Training a level higher than that, but at the very least, begin the year in Tampa. I have the mind set of high expectations. I know what I'm capable of doing. If I stay focused, have a good attitude, and have fun out there, the rest of it will take care of itself.
PinstripesPlus: What would you say is the weakest part of your game?
Harris: Tools-wise, it would have to be my arm strength. I've been working hard on my throwing this offseason. I recognized that it [arm strength] was a concern that needed to be addressed. But I'm also working hard on making more contact with the bat. I mean, when I do make contact, good things happen. Some guys are able to make more contact than me but sometimes they aren't able to do too much with it. So what I'd like to do is make as much contact as possible and everything else will take care of itself.
I'm trying to set myself up in spots to make better contact. I can be productive in other ways, even when I'm not hitting as well as I'd like. I have good speed and can let out some infield hits and leg out misplays. I'm looking to improve my mental approach at the plate and make my swing as short as possible, swinging through the zone without any unnecessary movement. My ultimate goal is make as much contact as possible. I'm feeling pretty confident I'm going to make more than I have been.
PinstripesPlus: What would you say are your strengths as a ball player?
Harris: It would have to be my bat speed, my power, my speed [base running], my instincts and my intelligence. I'm always in the game and I don't need somebody to tell me what to do during the games. I also think that, with my speed, I have pretty good range in the outfield, so that's a plus. I have pretty good instincts on the base paths and with my speed, I feel I can be a successful base stealer. I was able to steal 20 bases last year even though I wasn't on base as much. Once I make more contact and get on base more, I think I could steal a lot more bases. I think I can leg out doubles on bloopers even though they aren't really hard-hit doubles because of my speed.
PinstripesPlus: Among your Charleston teammates from last season, which positional player do you think has the highest upside?
Harris: It would have to be Tim Battle or Marcos Vechionacci. Both are really talented players and both are fun to watch. I think when they put it all together, they're going to be special players. What I like most about Battle, outside of his tools, is his overall confidence. Nothing discourages him. If has a bad game one day, he'll come back the next day and totally forget about it. You have to stay positive. If you feel like you can do it, you will do it and that's what I like most about him. With Nacci, I like his maturity for such a young player. He has all the tools, and as he gets more baseball experience, he's going to be great. He already has good clutch ability and that is just as important as anything. What is most impressive about him is that you can count on him and yet he was the youngest player on our team last year.
PinstripesPlus: Among the Charleston pitchers last year, which one do you think has the highest Major League potential?
Harris: It has to be Phil Hughes. He's another one who is mature beyond his years. I mean, his stuff is dominating. He just made batters look foolish. But what is great about him is his presence on the mound.
PinstripesPlus: Which of your Charleston teammates, hitter or pitcher, do you think is the best "sleeper" prospect? Who do you think doesn't get the attention he deserves but will wind up having a solid Major League career?
Harris: I'm going to pick a pitcher and a hitter. Phil Coke is a left-handed pitcher that has some dominating stuff. His stats weren't eye-popping this past year, but he always seem to pitch well in games where we weren't hitting. Ben Jones is one of the flat out best hitters I've ever played with. He has the knowledge and the hitting ability to play in the big leagues someday. He was crushing the ball all year and pitchers were staying away from him. He has one of the best approaches at the plate. I like the fact he always stays within himself.

I Only Wanted You
I found a broken soul and saw my future
with a bottle of wine lodged in his hand
If you knew I would take it so hard
would you have abandoned me?
With the tears in your dress, oh honey
you sold your soul long, long ago
Somewhere along the way I lost mine
Just to see you again was all I ever needed
You caught the last train from the station
with no destination
with no complication
Just to leave me here
You caught the last train in your frustration
with no expectation
of my elation
when I find you have left me here
You can't see me when I am standing next to him
oh he's better than me in your eyes
No explanation would ever detail the truth
with the silence that lasted for years and years
I can still recall those long Autumn nights on the phone
hanging on to your every sweet word
No one could ever give me the comfort
you gave to me when I needed it most
But what does it matter now?
With the travesty we left to die
I am feeling blue
Because I only wanted you
But you didn't want me

SINCE 1982, SA Liberals have won the two-party vote at 8 of 10 state elections, but won two; many observers — me included — have long felt SA boundaries are rigged. SA is the Liberals' biggest failure; now, the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission has produced a redraw notionally giving the Liberals office on 2014 votes. Like a toddler in meltdown, Labor is off to the SA Supreme Court. The rort offers national insight into the rotten ALP mentality.
In any discussion of "gerrymanders" in South Australia, what many casual observers (and even some seasoned ones) overlook is the fact that it was a Liberal state government which, in 1968, abolished electoral malapportionment in SA and in so doing, redistributed itself out of office; even so, what Labor has perpetuated in the Croweater State in the name of being "fair" over the past 40 years has been anything but, and now the rort is ending, the ALP is screaming blue murder.
I am including articles today from The Australian and Adelaide's Advertiser newspaper — the latter including more links to other relevant coverage — that readers can access here and here; but first, a little history.
Step back 50 years, and most Australian states had electoral boundaries that incorporated some kind of malapportionment; the thinking at the time — before reliable air travel and fast, safe road transport was as prevalent as it is today — was that rural MPs should be accommodated with smaller electorates to service than their city cousins, and this guiding principle meant that state elections (by their nature) gave the man on the land a vote that was more heavily weighted than the man about town.
It is also one of the reasons why some of the long-term state Premiers of the past — Tom Playford, Frank Nicklin, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Henry Bolte — were conservatives representing country electorates; but the impact of this philosophy was not universal and was not consistent, as 24 years of ALP rule in more urban NSW between 1941 and 1965 shows by way of example.
As the state "gerrymanders" (which they were commonly called, despite more correctly being termed malapportionments) went, the SA boundaries were the heaviest in Australia, believed to weight country votes against city votes by a 6:1 margin; the example most commonly railed against by Labor (and which the ALP itself introduced, its latter-day declamations notwithstanding) and the one fine-tuned by Bjelke-Petersen in Queensland was also the least distorting, giving weight to rural votes at about 3:1.
The Queensland "zonal" boundaries also meant any party winning 50% of the vote after preferences would win power, which is exactly what Labor did when it won a majority of the two-party vote in 1989 for the first time since 1956.
It goes without saying that fair elections, conducted on the principle of "one vote, one value," are absolutely imperative; I am no apologist for boundaries that are rigged in favour of conservatives, and have railed in this column against attempts to gain electoral advantage through fiddling with electoral apparatus by either side ever since I started it.
But after Steele Hall committed electoral suicide by redistributing himself out of office in South Australia in 1968, Labor — under the guise of "fairness" — legislated a special commission that would review that state's boundaries after every election, and "adjust" them based on the most recent results to ensure that as closely as practicable, the party which won a majority of two-party votes at the next poll would win office.
In practice, this has meant that the Liberal Party — despite itself, and we'll get back to that — has been almost completely locked out of office in SA since David Tonkin was beaten by John Bannon (with Labor scoring a minority of the vote) in 1982, save for the 1993 boilover in the wake of Labor's State Bank disaster and a narrowly acquired second term four years later.
The effect of this has become more pronounced in recent years, with SA Liberals losing elections in 2010 and 2014 with well over 50% of the statewide vote: in 2014, the Liberal Party under Steven Marshall won more than 53%, and didn't just lose, but lost convincingly.
Now — in a breath of fresh air — the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission has finalised its redraw of boundaries ahead of the 2018 state election, which moves five seats on paper into the Liberals' column and with them, makes an end to the most recent long-term Labor government in SA look likelier in 18 months' time.
And Labor, having benefited from rigged boundaries for decades, is trying to raise merry hell about it.
In its "appraisal" of the latest redistribution, the ALP makes much of the fact that almost 400,000 voters (or almost one in three) are shifted into different electorates: hardly much of a surprise, given the distortions that have existed to this point, and which most recently gave Labor a majority win with a tick over 46% of the statewide vote.
It somehow seeks to claim that because the usually safe Liberal seat of Waite — held by turncoat and general piece of shit Martin Hamilton-Smith — returns to the Liberal column on paper, this is more evidence of a "biased" redraw. But Waite voters were sold down the river by Hamilton-Smith, who tossed principle overboard to jump into bed with the ALP and pocket a fat ministerial salary, and there is no obligation on the Commission's part to somehow sanction this piece of bastardry just because it suits the Labor Party.
And the outrage Labor types seem to profess at the fact that some seats have been "flipped" on paper to the Liberals is fatuous, given the whole point of redistributions is to more equably apportion electorates based on the most recent electoral results, and if Labor now suggests that "notional" electorates should never emerge from a redistribution process it's an indictment on its power-crazed entitlement mentality and an insight into the anti-democratic instincts that now underpin Australia's oldest party.
The ALP has also made a lot of noise about the variable enrolments in the new seats, as good as declaring the new boundaries are rigged. But the Commission's report clearly shows no electorate is above the 10% tolerance that is standard in Australia these days at all state and federal redistributions, and Labor's bleating is no more than an attempt to smear and defame those who refuse to do its bidding: in this case a statutory government authority, which for once appears to have produced a fair outcome.
It should be emphasised that the SA Liberals — despite their lack of success at elections, which is in turn at least a partial consequence of past outcomes of the Commission — have in other respects been their own worst enemies, with bitter faction fighting and other divisive, self-destructive behaviour more entrenched and rampant in that division than anywhere else in the country; there is no guarantee at all the party will win the state election that is now less than 18 months away.
The Liberals retain a leader in Steven Marshall whose electoral appeal and ability to govern remain unclear, and they retain inside Parliament and out powerful factional players (such as Bragg MP Vicky Chapman, a perpetual target of this column) without whom they would well and truly be better off.
And the rising presence of Nick Xenophon's NXT team, on its home turf, might well derail any prospect of a Liberal win altogether, as this left-leaning influence has at the federal level siphoned votes off the Liberal pile and disproportionately sent them on preferences to Labor.
But for all that, the changes in SA should be welcome: and are at least a decade overdue.
I don't propose to discuss any issues that particularly apply to SA politics today, for the focus is the electoral system: it would, however, be remiss not to note the statewide blackouts that occurred there recently, and to note that for a party in office for 14 years (and for 25 of the past 34) Labor has nobody to blame but itself for anything SA voters are motivated to take up baseball bats over.
But the disturbing thing about these changes, and Labor's reaction to them, is the pattern of anti-democratic thuggery it continues where the ALP's approach to elections and government is concerned.
Federally, it is unable to accept it is in opposition, and uses the Senate not as an instrument of review, but as a battering ram to try to destroy the government.
In Queensland, it stealthily fiddled the electoral system, abolishing optional preferential voting (supported by at least the 60-70% of voters who no longer allocate preferences there) to give itself the best chance of harvesting Greens' votes. In so doing, it abolished its own electoral fix, introduced when it ended the gerrymander in 1992.
In Victoria and Queensland, Labor sends out union officials at state elections masquerading as essential services workers, and in Victoria in 2014 even had "nurses" ring old and sick people to lie to them about what a Liberal state government would do if re-elected.
And where outright lying is concerned, the so-called "Mediscare" fracas during the recent federal election continues the theme of an ALP prepared to literally say anything to barge its way into the corridors of power, where patronage and influence can be handed out to union thugs and other filth that resides in the Labor tent.
In this sense, the ALP's recourse to the South Australian Supreme Court should surprise nobody; it is the action of a sore loser, and one whose profit from a shabby rort has been allowed to go on for too long as it is.
My bet is that the Court will dismiss any challenge the ALP brings, although I don't wish to pre-empt such a finding: it just seems so cut and dry as to be a frivolous and vexatious attempt to maintain advantage by legal intimidation and brutality.
And in this sense, there is a message for voters in every other state, and federally.
Next time you hear Bill Shorten, or any of the other parrot puppets the ALP sends out to address the media, talking about "fairness" and "equity," what they are really talking about is their own self-interest and unfair advantage.
Labor is so concerned with fairness that it seeks to rig and rort the mechanics of elections to either keep itself in power forever, or destroy any government by someone else that voters have the nerve to install in its place.
Once again, what is going on in SA merely shows Labor is rotten to the core, and frankly, if SA voters needed an extra reason to throw the ALP out in 2018, Labor itself is handing it to them.
But even this is no guarantee, for the SA Liberals have repeatedly demonstrated the capacity to make themselves unelectable. For its trouble and its lack of real principle, SA Labor may yet prevail if the Liberals, once again, prove unable to get their shit together ahead of a state election at which they should be a lay-down misere.

The room we had was a corner room which had two big lovely windows facing outwards. The room itself was really run down but clean and the bed had crispy clean sheets. Great location just south of the main Thamel tourist hub.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
It was the first guesthouse I stayed in Nepal and in my RTW trip. I didn't know what to expect but it had the basic amenties like private bathroom with hot shower, a clean bed and a fan. Breakfast wasn't included although written on their website. It wasn't a big deal though but the real problem was Rajendra, the manager. He is one of the most money-minded, dishonest people I've evet met. Since the first day I arrived, he tried to sell me overpriced tours, exchanged my dollars in a lower rate and under his fake smile and kindness, he was just trying to take as much as money he could from me. After I returned from his tour (%50 more expensive than elsewhere in town), I was supposed to stay 2 nights more at this GH (already paid), but he said the GH was full now so he sent me to another guesthouse which turned out to be half cheaper in the end -so he could save a couple of dollars. Even the bus ticket to Pokhara he sold me was %40 more expensive. I'm so ripped off by him. My advice to you, just stay off him and you'll be ok.

Main Argument • Language users have conceptions of language and language use – Quality, value, status, norms, functions, ownership, etc. • They guide the communicative behavior of language users. • They use language on the basis of conceptions they have and so reproduce these conceptions. Main Argument • These are ideological constructs and sites of power and authority. • Language use is ideologically stratified • The best language/language variety is distinguished from less adequate varieties in every instance of use. – Written vs. Spoken – Standard vs. Dialect – Specific expert registers vs. General lay registers • With the advent of print capitalism: a highly elitist view of language • Language needs to be purified • Sociolinguistic regime • Ownership, memebership and authority – This is our language – We are Americans and speak English – This doesn't belong here – He doesn't speak the language well • Linguistic Communities – Groups claiming attachment to the standard Language : We speak English. • Speech Communities – Groups characterized by the actual use of specific speech forms (professional jargons, dialects, even standard varieties of languages.) Monoglot Ideology • A society is in effect monolingual • Denial of practices toward factual multilingualism and linguistic diversity Effects of Monoglot Identity • It ınforms practical language regimes. • It produces and regulates identities. – National identity is an ascriptive identity attributed by the state. This may lead to an inhabited identity. • It has a tremendous impact on scholarship. Tanzania • The postcolonial Tanzanian state declared Swahili as the national language of the country. • It became an official language together with the colonial language, English. • Swahili was introduced as the medium of instruction in primary education together with the inherited medium of instruction. • It also became the language of political life and the mass media. Tanzania • Swahili boosted with the massive campaign of nation-building. • The language: the language of Africansocialist • Citizen: a socialist and an African, and a monolingual, Swahili speaking individual • National identity was defined in politicalideological and linguistic terms, not in ethnic or other cultural terms Tanzania • The ideal situation: monoglot • The target: Homogeneism with the disappearance of English-the language of imperialism, capitalism and oppression and the local languages even nonstandard varieties of Swahili Tanzania • To achieve full languageness for Swahili English was used in higher education to produce a class of elite intellectuals. • Swahili was spread to all corners of the country • However, post-primary education remained (and still is) in English. Tanzania • Neither English nor local languages and impure varietites of Swahili disappeared. • The one-party system collapsed in the late 1980s. • What does this mean? • There was a widening gap between the intended ascriptive identity constructed by language planners-the monolingual, Swahili speaking, socialist Tanzanian- and the inhabited identities of the people. Tanzania • People used Swahili for: interaction across ethnolinguistic boundaries, administrative contacts and primary education. • Politics was only one domain. • People continued to use local languages for other domains. • So to the extent that only one identity was envisaged, the campaign was a failure. In conclusion: • Singular projections of language onto national identity do not work any more. • Language policy should be seen as a niched (specialized) activity, and the same goes for its desired outcome, national identity.

In the midst of a display of Mimbres pottery, the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology has this… somewhat passive aggressive comment on NAGPRA.
NAGPRA is the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, a U.S. federal law passed in 1990 that requires museums and federal agencies to return certain Native American cultural items to their tribes of origin.
On the face of things, NAGPRA's pretty simple — if human remains, funerary objects, or objects sacred to a tribe are found on federal or tribal lands, they need to be returned to the descendants of their original owners, for handling in accordance with their cultural beliefs and traditions. In practice, though, things get a bit trickier — particularly when it comes to identifying "lineal descendants and culturally affiliated" tribes when an artifact is hundreds or thousands of years old. Even Kennewick Man (some 9,000 years old) got caught up in this process. And then, of course, repatriated items are no longer available for scientific study.
Still, at its core, NAGPRA is really just a legal codification of the principle that Native American remains and funerary goods should be treated with the same respect as is due to remains of any other race. And it's not as if there aren't ample historical examples of disrespectful treatment of such remains.
This display left me deeply disappointed, as it seems a better approach could have been taken that would actually be thought-provoking rather than just provocative and more than a little petulant.

"It's been quite a ride," Adams said recently of her 25-year tenure at the park. This year, the internationally famous waterpark quietly celebrates its 25th anniversary. It will not unveil a new attraction this year, but it will offer special rates to locals for the first part of the season as a way of saying thanks. In 1979, Schlitterbahn built four slides around a 60-feet-tall replica of the Braunfels, Germany Solms Castle guard tower. "It was quieter back then, a little sleepier," Adams said. The park started on the grounds of the 120-room Landa Resort. About 5,000 people visited the park, which employed about 20 lifeguards. Adams loved the atmosphere. "I just kept coming back summer after summer," Adams said.

Page 6A NBISD hesitates on tax year vote By Leigh Jones Staff Writer For the third time, New Braunfels Independent School District Board of Trustees delayed making a decision on changing the district's tax year. Currently, the district levies taxes in June and collects in July. The proposed change would send out bills in October and collect in January. Because residents would be taxed on current year's property appraisals, the district expects to increase revenue by $645,(XX). Concerns over budget items, rather than the tax issue, became the sticking point for several members Tuesday night. "The point is not to drag [the decision) out but to come up with budget numbers we can live with," said trustee Fd Clark. "We need to know we have done everything we can to keep from cutting teachers' jobs and classroom programs." The budget must be approved before the board adopts a tax rate. The district's fiscal year begins in July, and the board hopes to have the budget finalized by the end of May. If the district changed its tax year to begin in January, it would start the school year with only $18 million on hand. The proposed budget is $36 million. Clark is worried the district might encounter cash flow problems before January when the bulk of the tax money would come in. "My concern is that we have enough funds to make it into January without having to make a loan in to payroll or to cover any other contingencies we might have," he said. Facing a possible $1.2 million deficit in the 2004-05 school year, the district lured John Wilson and Associates, a financial consulting finn, to recommend budget cuts. Anticipated increased tax revenue would only cover half that amount. See TAX, Page 3A Jana Harter Usa Harter Kimberly Hoyt FRONTand Center Former county fair official arrested on theft charges By Ron Malonoy Staff Writer SEGUIN—A former official with the Comal County Fair Association was arrested and booked for alleged misuse of the organization's credit card in early 2003. Guadalupe County Sheriff Arnold Zwicke said Jacqueline Smith, 46, was arrested Monday morning at her home in Seguin on a Comal County warrant alleging she stole approximately $6,000 through misuse of the fair association's MasterCard. A Comal County Grand Jury indicted Smith this past Wednesday. If proved, the offense is a state jail felony punishable by six months to two years in a state jail and a $10,000 fine. Smith posted $5,000 bail and was released from custody, Zwicke said. Fair Association officers, including former president Ronnie Meyer, declined to comment Tuesday night, citing the criminal case pending against Smith, who was the association's executive assistant until she resigned May 22, 2003. In March 2003, fair association officials approached New Braunfels police making a number of theft allegations against Smith. The case was assigned to detective Bob Parchman, who investigates gang-related activity and property crimes. Parchman said the investigation was hampered by sloppy record-keeping at the fair association — and possibly because Smith was the person See RECORDS.

Sonnet 1
Gaseous beings of such immense magnitude
Oddly consist of mostly empty space
On this planet we are marveled that they can be viewed
Gazing upon them, they speak to us
Speaking in riddles, it's all I haear, but it continues slight resembling a new farm
These objects do no lie as people often do
Trust is hard to find and obtain
But once you have it, its stuck to you like glue. Nothing can wash this glue away, not even the rain. It may seem silly and childish to trust the stars
But I do because their responses are unbiased and realistic; plus they will not key your cars.

Pourpose in Reason
Poem by: LEBEA
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Purpose in Reason
Everything happens for no-reason,
It's a purpose-less world.
Cold and cruel,
For you reap your neighbour's sow.
The world is full of nothing but reasonable purpose.
Bad things happen to good people,
To keep them divine.
Happiness belongs to the poor,
For they appreciate what little they possess.
And the meek inherits the earth,
For it's them, who never stops trying.
Is there any louder and clearer purpose in reason?
Married to existence;
Subjectively, arrogantly and deniably
Mistook for fate and destiny.
Reason to purpose is staring you in the face,
Right under your nose
But your arrogance and self-pity
Cripples your sight and sense of smell
You don't need to find it!
For there's purpose in everything
And in everything, there's a reason.
What is the reason to your purpose?
And what purpose is served by your reason?

Lossless Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas (2012) FLAC (tracks + .cue) music download
Artist: Leonard Cohen | Album: Old Ideas | Released: 2012 | Genre: Folk, Rock | Country: Canada | Duration: 00:41:26
In modern music it is commonplace for ageing performers to attempt to prove that they have a lust for life capable of defying gravity's pull. But one of the striking things about this always striking album is just how unvarnished is the sound of its creator's relative fragility: "I love to speak with Leonard, he's a sportsman and shepherd," sings the narrator on Going Home, before adding, "He's a lazy bastard living in a suit." On the second line Cohen's voice cracks with such emphasis as to suggest this suit might be one of the last he wears. For a man with a gleam in his eye of such impishness as to make Sir Les Patterson seem decorous, this is startling stuff indeed.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dealsplus has just released its Memorial Day infographic, which highlights some surprising facts about its members' intentions this Memorial Day. Traditionally, Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the summer movie season but Dealsplus' survey indicates that Hollywood may be disappointed this year, with only 3% of respondents planning on seeing a movie, about the same number of people who indicated they will be shopping for a car. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130524/SF20631-INFO) According to Dealsplus' CEO, Kiha Lee, "Most people in our industry want to talk purely about the best Memorial Day sales or the hottest Memorial Day deals, Dealspl.us already does a great job of that, we wanted to focus on what our members are thinking about doing this Memorial Day." Survey Results The survey of Dealsplus users revealed that while many people are planning on traveling for the holiday (about 37%), a large number of people look to be preparing for the arrival of summer and the D.I.Y. season:

What's everyone's fav distance to run?
I'm coming to the conclusion that I just don't have enough time in my life to train for long distance runs. I think I will concentrace more on speed instead and go short distance.
I have a HM booked for later this year so will be doing that and then shall start shortening and speeding up.
So I will vote for 5k being my fav.
5ks are over too quickly, 10k is challenging enough, halfs feel like a bit of an adventure and a marathon I have yet to do - its my bucket list distance! Would love to do an ultra.......
yes I too would love to do a Marathon but I just don't have time to train for one..... maybe when I retire
Did my first marathon in London this year as have been retired now for 10 months - was such a treat to have the time to train properly! But half marathons are still my favourite - am now trying not to do too many!
A marathon i think is most rewardi g but i do love a HALF.
I've run 5k 10k half and full marathons and ultras up to 70 miles, I think marathons are my favourite as I usually take 4:20 to 5:00 depending upon difficulty. At my pace I find the people running them very sociable and chatty. One thing that always puzzles me though, how come the last half mile even at 5k is always agony and I cannot wait to cross the line.
In the last year or so I've raced over distances from 800m to a half marathon. I don't really have a favourite, although 5k is probably my quickest relatively.
As for marathons, surely to run any distance to the best of your ability requires equal commitment? Weekly mileage will vary, but not effort.
Not sure about favourite, but I think 10k is probably my least favourite. 5k is unpleasant, but it doesn't last very long, whereas HM pace is reasonably comfortable and only starts to hurt towards the end. With 10k however, the pace is a bit too long and the distance a bit too far so you have to push the whole way.

Report: Royals out on penalties
Reading 3 (Mills 17, 113, Robson-Kanu 62)
Northampton 3 (Holt 20, Thornton 64, Mills og 120)
Northampton win 4-2 on penalties
The Royals went out of the Carling Cup on Tuesday evening after a below par performance against Northampton at Madejski Stadium.
We lead three times on the night, and had two fantastic penalty shouts incredibly waved away, one of them just seconds before the Cobblers snatched an equaliser with the last kick of the game; five minutes into injury time when a minimum of three had been shown by the referee.
But credit Northampton for a good performance, they showed great resilience to fight back from a deficit on three occasions and took full advantage of any breaks that came their way.
Matt Mills scored twice for the Royals, while Hal Robson-Kanu got his first goal in a Reading shirt. Brian Howard also came close to finding the net, clipping the bar with a free kick. Jake Taylor made his Reading debut, playing out of position at right back after Julian Kelly went off injured, and it was harsh on Taylor that he missed a penalty, having bravely stepped up from 12 yards.
Reading (4-4-2): Hamer; Kelly (Taylor 50), Williams, Mills (c), Pearce; Karacan, Howard, Antonio (Kebe HT), Robson-Kanu; Church, Hunt (Long 93)

Starting XI team news
Brian McDermott made six changes from Saturday's game with Nottingham Forest, giving first starts of the season to Noel Hunt, Hal Robson-Kanu and Julian Kelly. Michail Antonio, Ben Hamer and Simon Church also came in.
First half
Reading started with excellent attacking intent, Michail Antonio going on a very incisive run down the right wing with only two minutes gone, Noel Hunt's cross causing problems for the visiting defence.
We had a stonewall penalty incredibly turned down on six minutes, Julian Kelly clearly fouled inside the box. Kelly was in in the starting XI for his first appearance since last year's second round of the Carling Cup, and was clearly brought down but referee Roger East gave nothing - and the linesman on the near side could arguably have helped his colleague.
Antonio was playing well down the right, and Hal Robson-Kanu headed over a tough chance on 14 minutes after a cracking cross from Antonio on the other flank.
Three minutes later the breakthrough came with an excellent finish from
Matt Mills
. Brian Howard took a low free kick on the left wing, and Mills had worked himself some space, planting home an excellent volley on the turn with the outside of his boot, great footwork from the skipper.
Unfortunately the lead only lasted three minutes as the visitors were handed an equaliser. The Cobblers had a right wing corner, and Ben Hamer came to gather above a couple of players. He made contact, and the ball fell to his feet, where he gathered it in his hands. He looked to find a teammate, but allowed the ball to spill from his grasp and
Andy Holt
stabbed home from 12 yards.
The visitors looked for a quick second, and Billy McKay turned a neat effort just wide of the post after a tidy cross.
Reading were then very close to going back in front, Howard clipping the bar with an excellent free kick from 22 yards.
A moment later Simon Church had a decent chance as his header was well saved by Oscar Jansson, and the Welsh international forward perhaps felt he was about to be given offside and could have guided his header a little more.
The last 15 minutes of the half were pretty even as Northampton defended well and looked comfortable when in possession. Mills nearly notched his second just before the break though, heading narrowly wide from a corner.
Second half
Antonio was unfortunately withdrawn at half time through injury, and it was a shame as he had played well - but in Jimmy Kebe we had a ready-made replacement.
We lost another player four minutes into the half, Kelly making a great tackle to prevent an excellent chance for the visitors but hurting himself in the process. It was harsh on Kelly, who had put in a good performance at right back, On in his place was Jake Taylor, the Welsh u21 international making his debut and slotting in at right back although normally a midfielder.
Just before the hour Robson-Kanu went on a great break from Hunt's pass, but should perhaps have looked for Kebe with a pass instead of going for goal, becoming crowded out on the edge of the area.
Within minutes though the winger had found the back of the net for his first goal in a Reading shirt. A cross from the right resulted in an almighty scramble, Howard, Karacan and Hunt all having a go before
lashed home.
Again though the lead did not last long, and Town were level within two minutes. Referee East played a decent advantage, and the visitors whipped in a low cross from the left, nothing more Hamer could do as he got down low to block the cross but
Kevin Thornton
prodded home.
Former Northampton loanee Alex Pearce was then inches wide with a header from a corner. Reading couldn't find their fluency, but similarly credit to Northampton for a very hardworking display.
Thornton nearly scored a sensational goal with only three minutes to go, dancing through four or five defenders, only for Hamer to make a good low save.
In injury time Town broke well, but Taylor was back in a good position to avert the danger. From the resulting corner the ball was worked back out to Thornton on the left, and his low cross was turned into the net by sub Steve Guinan - but thankfully the offside flag went up straight away. We broke immediately, but as Kebe tried to find Hunt in the middle we lost possession and that was the last meaningful action of the 90 minutes.
Our team talk then had to take place out on the pitch, and as the players gathered around Brian McDermott it was clear he was leaving the players in no uncertain terms about how he felt about the performance.
Extra time
Kebe seemed to have a decent headed chance six minutes into extra time, but failed to properly direct his effort. The Cobblers broke immediately, but sub Michael Jacobs' effort was wild.
Hamer made an excellent save as the game reached its 100th minute, denying the lively Jacobs after an incisive run - although the Cobblers really should have scored from the rebound before Mills brilliantly slid in to clear. Down the other end, Robson-Kanu's header from Kebe's cross was well directed but lacked any real venom and was easily saved.
Sub Shane Long hit a cracking effort minutes into the second period of extra time, Jansson called into action with a good save away to his right.
Then with eight minutes remaining
powered home a fabulous header from Howard's corner to seemingly send us through to the next round.
With time almost up, we were denied a clear, clear penalty as Long was unquestionably tripped inside the area but inexplicably nothing was given. It was, quite simply, the incorrect decision and the second time we had been denied a clear spot kick. We were left to rue that moment.
With 120 minutes up, Northampton clawed their way back level. Marcus Williams gave away a free kick, and Town threw everyone forward, including keeper Jansson. An almighty scramble ensued, and Jacobs' drilled cross hit the unfortunate
and flew into his own net.
And so it was into penalties. When Church saw his first one saved, Northampton never looked like passing the advantage back to the Royals. When Jake Taylor put his effort wide, Abdul Osman was able to seal the win, and although Hamer got a hand to it it was enough to send the Cobblers through.
So overall it was a hugely disappointing result. We were below par, and Brian McDermott said exactly that in his post-match assessment. How we were not given at least one of those penalty claims was quite something, but we should not take too much away from the visitors, who performed with great spirit to send their name into Saturday's draw.
Penalties in detail
0-0 Church - saved by Jansson to his right.
0-1 Guinan - scored high to 'keeper's right.
1-1 Long - scored low to 'keeper's right.
2-1 Thornton - scored to 'keeper's left.
2-2 Robson-Kanu - scored to keeper's right
3-2 Jacobs - scored to 'keeper's right
3-2 Taylor - missed wide to 'keeper's right
4-2 Osman - scored to 'keeper's left

Back at home Gramps jumps right out of the car to go tell Grandma about holding Joey. I just sit and stare. I can see her in the window and he is gesturing about, they are both visibly excited- why shouldn't they be right? Dad has never really 'settled' even when mom was around, he was everywhere. Going away on business, going out late at night with his friends. When I was really little, we used to have a house, I had a pink room with nice curtains, and we had a kitchen and a bathroom and tv and stuff. When mom left though, Dad went a little crazy. He sold our house and bought a small, one room apartment that barely has running water, and no electricity. That was also when he brought me, his four year old daughter, to my Grandparents house- and has yet to pick me up. Its been 12 years since then, I haven't heard a word from my mom once in that and barely more than that from my dad- who lives down the road. So really? I shouldn't be surprised about this turn of events, I shouldn't be upset that Gram and Gramps are happy. And i'm not really, I just can't bring myself to feel the same way. I couldn't even remember how to make myself feel anything at all.
I finally get out of the car and walk into the house. I try for a beeline to my bedroom, but Gram is already after me with a huge hug.
"Oh Sweetie! I'm so happy!! this is so great!! Aren't you so excited? A baby brother!" She just kept going, I kind of tune out. Untangling myself from her death grip, I start heading toward my room again. I honestly can't even muster a fake smile for her, I feel kinda bad but not enough to try harder. My energy is spent and I can't make myself pretend anymore.
"I'm pretty tired Gram, talk to you in the morning?" I say with a yawn for emphasis. I open my bedroom door and find piles of boxes. Everywhere. "Gram? Umm... what is this?" I say as I open one of the boxes to find my sketchbooks and markers in it. What? The next box reveals my easel and paints. The next is holding my books. "Why is all my stuff packed up?"
"Oh darling, I thought that since your father's house is a bit small right now, that they might want to stay with us for a while until he can arrange for something more suitable for a baby. You don't mind right?"
Her voice is still light and happy. How can she not know that this bothers me? Of course its not okay! This has been my room for 12 years of my life! Everything I own is in this room- now stuffed away in boxes like i'm moving out. My dad hasn't spoken to me in months, and before that it was even longer. And now? He is moving into my room? No. No i'm not okay with it. Yes I mind. How can this be happening?
But I just say, "Oh okay, yeah thats alright. Can I, um, sleep here tonight though?"
"Of course darling, they should be bringing Joey home tomorrow so we still have time to move the boxes to the downstairs room, and get everything all set for them in your room. Oh i'm so excited! We are going to have a baby in the house!" I think she says something else but I don't really hear it. I Stiffly move some boxes to the side, trying to make it to the dresser. Opening the drawer though, just reveals the wooden bottom. My clothes are not in my dresser. You have got to be kidding me. So I rummage through a few boxes to find my pjs and finally collapse on my bed. Looking at the ceiling, i'm relieved to see that one thing hasn't changed. The stars I painted up there are still shining, and my last thought before I drift off to sleep is that I won't see these stars tomorrow night.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is now shipping to UK customers, after being made available to pre-order late last month.
The Fire TV Stick is essentially a slimmed down version of Amazon's Fire TV set top box, and was first unveiled in October last year.
It first landed in the USA, but it's now crossed the pond, taking the fight to rivals like Google's Chromecast and the Roku Streaming Stick.
Amazon says the Fire TV Stick is its fastest-selling UK device, setting a week one record.
"We expected Fire TV Stick to be popular, but the customer response has just blown us away," said Jorrit Van der Meulen, Amazon's VP of Devices for Europe.
"For just £35, Fire TV Stick delivers powerful performance and access to a vast selection of content apps, and games."
He added: "The phenomenal demand has made Fire TV Stick our fastest-selling device ever in the UK in the first week after going on sale, and we think our customers are going to love it."
Related: Amazon Fire TV Stick vs Chromecast vs Roku Streaming Stick
The Amazon Fire TV Stick works just like its competitors, insofar as that it plugs into your TV's HDMI port and connects to your Wi-Fi network.
From there, you'll be able to stream a host of Amazon-powered content, as well as third-party apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify.
Computing heft comes courtesy of a dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of built-in storage.
Amazon claims its Fire TV Stick is six times more powerful than Roku's Streaming Stick, and boasts four times the storage and twice the memory of Google's Chromecast.

On the Internet, Hitler angrily reacts to everything. He went ballistic when he found they left out the monster in the movie adaptation of Watchmen, and had similar reactions to a lack of features on Microsoft's Flight Simulator X, when he was informed that his gaming account was suspended on X-box Live, and when Obama visited Berlin.
But the impending death of Google Reader has hit him really hard.
"Anyone who thinks social media is a valid replacement for an RSS-reader, leave the room now", says a visibly furious Hitler before launching into a tirade with the only three people left. "WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH DO THEY HAVE TO DESTROY EVERYTHING GOOD?", read the subtitles. "How dare they take away Google reader? I had 300 feeds in there!
The Hitler videos which are called "Downfall", are a series of parody-subtitled videos based on a pinnacle scene from Der Untergang (2004), a German WWII drama revisiting the last ten days of Adolf Hitler's life and eventual suicide in his Berlin underground bunker. (More on the meme here)

I graduated last year and am currently temping in London. During my four year evening course, I worked as an office manager and PA in two [venture capital/private equity] firms, conducted a wide range of telephone-based market research, and performed a variety of roles for a number of well-respected event companies.
