A man has been charged with assault following a siege in Surry Hills that ended when a shirtless man was escorted from a block of units by police and arrested.
"There were reports of a firearm sighted and police are yet to confirm that to be the case," Surry Hills Police Local Area commander Superintendent Tony Crandell said of the siege on Wednesday afternoon. The arrested man allegedly threatened another man in the block of units with the firearm, he said.
About 20 to 30 police attended the scene, including police from the tactical operations unit, negotiations unit and officers from Surry Hills Local Area Command.
The man who was arrested, a 36-year-old, was known to police, Superintendent Crandell said.
He was taken to The Rocks Police Station and charged with common assault.
Before the arrest, made at about 6.05pm, police cordoned off parts of Devonshire Street after responding at about 4.30pm.
A number of residents were evacuated from their homes, including a mother and her children.
At 6.15pm police tape was taken down and residents were allowed to re-enter their homes.
Earlier, heavily armed police with automatic rifles and bulletproof vests stormed the building amid a stand-off with the man who police said barricaded himself in a unit.
There was no fortification of the premises, Superintendent Crandell said.
"The man was arrested and has now been taken to the Rocks Police Station where he will be interviewed by detectives," he said.
He added that a search warrant application was being made to search the premises for an alleged firearm.
"From our perspective this was a very good operation and it was safely contained. The safety of the community was foremost in our mind and that's been achieved today," Superintendent Crandell said.
While the siege unfolded an officer at the scene told the gathering crowd: "Can I get you to all move back please, before you get shot."
About 10 general duty police officers wearing bulletproof vests were redirecting pedestrians and road traffic to safer areas.
One resident said he was leaving the building when police arrived.
"A policeman was aiming a gun at me when I was walking out of the front door. He told me clear directions of where to run to and I did it," he said.
Devonshire Street resident Damian Sawyers said police told him he could not enter his home.
"They're refusing me access and they won't tell me why. I just want to go home, get my bag and go to the gym," he said.
Another witness said police were urging patrons at nearby establishments to remain indoors.
A local woman said a number of complaints had been made to Housing NSW regarding safety concerns and alleged drug activity in the building.
The man charged following the siege was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on April 18.
Inquiries are continuing about whether further charges will be laid.

The tragedy of the story of jesus as it is told is it that does nothing to empower the indidivual to become a sovereign spiritual being instead it does the opposite. Ascension boils down to the question do you want to be a sovereign spiritual being if so you should embrace the larger cosmic reality and accept personal responsibilty for your actions in it. Infantile religious structures do nothing to help others find their own path and seek the answers within instead they baby the flock and disempower others from seeking their own truth and consequently hinder the discovery of anothers soul's development and reasons for incarnating on earth. Souls are cosmic in nature and the sooner we get it the better we'll understand what it means to deal with other beings and energies in our cosmos and what the spiritual development of the soul means.
Another really interesting interview William. This us why I became a subscriber. But also I'd like to add that it has become apparent to me that the level of intellect regarding the soul is rising rapidly! And as evidence of this I have only to bring your attention to the post made by Roger Simond. Such insight I find more and more, especially with the subscribers of Unknowncounyry.com, and it is very refreshing!
william i agree with both roger simond and donald cole in fact, i have nothing to add to their comments. thanks for another great show.

These days it seems like every time Google slaps its logo on a technology, the earth trembles. The company makes no secret of its interest in developing a suite of office productivity tools. Still, the news Monday that Google is launching such a suite for small to midsize businesses will prompt hasty meetings in Redmond and elsewhere.
Google Apps for Your Domain, which debuts in beta, builds on enterprise inroads the search giant has made in the past year, including Gmail for Your Domain and the Google Search Appliance. For now, Google Apps is a modest proposal best suited for smaller organizations: a Gmail account that carries an organization's domain name, Google's calendar, IM, and Web page creation software, said Matthew Glotzbach, Google's head of enterprise products. But Glotzbach didn't rule out enterpises such as General Motors or Wal-Mart buying into the Google Apps vision some day.
The company is being pragmatic about the time it will take to develop an offering for large enterprises. But Google Apps already has "hundreds of thousands of users" in "tens of thousands" of domains, Glotzbach said.
Michael John Renzi, director of finance and administration at San Jose City College in California, has been using it since the beginning of the year to offer e-mail to its 10,000 students. It took less than two months to create 11,000 accounts that included the school's domain and logo and were integrated with class calendars and other goodies.
E-mail is the focal point for Google Apps for now, with 2GB of storage per account, online presence detection and the ability to label and search messages. The suite could, however, become more relevant to the enterprise by year's end, when Google plans to offer a paid version that adds "enhanced" features Glotzbach did not name but that might include migration and compliance capabilities.
It's too early to tell whether Google's expanded package will threaten Microsoft's Exchange and Outlook franchises, but if Redmond is not paying attention, it should be, said Matthew Brown, senior analyst at Forrester. Organizations that choose Google Apps are likely to pass on Microsoft's Office Live, depriving the company of the opportunity for future upsells.

He's on point duty up and down there for the last ten minutes.
There was a policeman on point duty at the other side of the square.
Do you mean she's on speaking terms with the policeman on point duty at Piccadilly Circus?
A policeman on point duty eyed him curiously, yet with no hint of suspicion.
The traffic had never appeared so congested, the efforts of the agents on point duty so hopelessly futile.
It was an easy matter to find the constable who had been on point duty at the crossing when the "accident" happened.
Why, even the policeman who stood at point duty outside must have known all about it!
When we came into Jamaica Square, there was a young copper on point duty at the corner.

COLUMBUS: What's brewing with the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes ...
BUCKEYES BUZZ: After building a 17-point lead heading into the fourth quarter against Wisconsin, Ohio State all but shut down its offense last week.
Buckeyes fans were happy with the win, but felt that sitting back and relying on the defense and punter to hang on to a lead smacked of a return to the Tresselball era.
For what it's worth, the current coaches are aware of that complaint.
"Would we have liked to convert maybe a few more third-downs and keep drives alive? Absolutely," said QBs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tom Herman. "When you've got a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, the way you approach how you're going to call the game changes significantly. Do the fans want to see everything they saw in the first quarter in the fourth quarter? Absolutely. Good for them. But it's not going to happen. It's just not. We don't have the responsibility to put up X number of points or X number of yards, but we do have a responsibility to win the game."
Head coach Urban Meyer is concerned that his team has pummeled teams 116-21 in the first quarter but has been outscored 17-10 in the fourth.
"In the last (game and against Northwestern on Saturday), facing two top-20 caliber competitors, that's very alarming," he said. "I take responsibility for that last week. With the kind of defense (Wisconsin was) playing, was not the type you can finish the game running the ball. We played the field-position battle and we won the game. But that is something we are aware of and are keeping an eye on."
Herman said as much as fans want to see the team continue to pile up points that is frequently not the wise way to get out with a win.
"We're not going to throw it 50 times a game," he said. "When we throw it, it's because (the defense has) inhibited our ability to run it. It's out of necessity not out of just fancy. 'Hey, let's call a pass play here.' No, we're going to run the football on first and second down and when you take that away we have to have some counters or some answers to that."
NO COMPARISON: Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald led the Wildcats to a Big Ten championship and the Rose Bowl in 1995, winning the Nagurski and Bednarik awards as the nation's top defensive player.
Before the Wildcats started winning, however, crowds were sparse at Ryan Field on Saturday afternoons, and the students were totally apathetic about the team.
Asked to compare the fan support early in his playing career with what Northwestern enjoys now, Fitzgerald cracked up.
"Night and day, my friend, night and day," he said. "That's all I'll say."
Northwestern sold a record number of season-ticket packages this year and there is substantially more interest by alumni, students and the general public.
"It's been terrific," Fitzgerald said. "The change in climate, more fans supporting us, some of the bowl experiences and the opener in Berkeley (against California). We're thankful for all of that support. There's been a ton of positive momentum. We're very thankful to be Chicago's Big Ten team. The city's really embraced us."
At the same time, there's a concern that Ohio State might just overrun the stadium on Saturday and adorn it in scarlet and gray.
"There'll be (Buckeyes) fans here," he said. "They probably have more alumni in Chicagoland than we do, just from a pure numbers standpoint with 50-thousand plus students compared to 8,000 a year here. Our fans have been incredibly supportive. I'm expecting a very pro and solid home-field advantage for us."
BRYANT UPDATE: Ohio State S Christian Bryant, who broke his left ankle on the penultimate defensive play against Wisconsin, won't play again during the regular season. The prognosis is that he'll be out three months, meaning that he could possibly be back for a bowl game.
But Meyer said that hasn't even been considered yet.
"We've been so focused on this game (against Northwestern), I have not asked that question," Meyer said. "The only thing I care about is his well-being. At some point we'll have that discussion, but not this week."
TURN DOWN THE VOLUME: P Cameron Johnston says he noticed something right away about Americans when he first came here last summer on his official visit. And it wasn't something good.
"When I got into the L.A. airport, I just couldn't believe how loud everyone was," the Australia native said laughing.
He's adjusted.
"It's not too bad," he said. "I'm getting used to it.

Genetic diversity, based on how many times a queen bee mates, could be key to the survival of honeybee colonies, U.S. researchers suggest.
A study from North Carolina State University, the University of Maryland and the U.S. Department of Agriculture found a colony is less likely to survive if its queen has had a limited number of mates.
"We wanted to determine whether a colony's genetic diversity has an impact on its survival, and what that impact may be," North Carolina entomology Professor David Tarpy said in a university release Monday.
"We knew genetic diversity affected survival under controlled conditions, but wanted to see if it held true in the real world. And, if so, how much diversity is needed to significantly improve a colony's odds of surviving."
Genetic samples taken from 80 commercial colonies of honeybees in the eastern United States showed colonies where the queen had mated at least seven times were 2.86 times more likely to survive the 10-month "working season" season of a colony.
Forty-eight percent of colonies with queens who had mated at least seven times were still alive at the end of the season while only 17 percent of the less genetically diverse colonies survived, the study found.
"Forty-eight percent survival is still an alarmingly low survival rate, but it's far better than 17 percent," Tarpy said.
"This study confirms that genetic diversity is enormously important in honey bee populations. And it also offers some guidance to beekeepers about breeding strategies that will help their colonies survive."

Toronto-based Quagmire Golf, noted for its cool and trendy golf wear, has given the King of golf a fashion makeover.
In a partnership that came together with Arnold Palmer Enterprises a little over a year ago, co-founders Geoff Tait and Bobby Pasternak have come up with the Arnie Line of apparel inspired by the looks and fabrics worn by the King.
"About a year ago we got a phone call from Arnold Palmer Enterprises and IMG saying 'We've been watching what you guys have been doing. Would you be interested in speaking with Mr. Palmer?'" said Tait, the creative director of the line.
After convincing himself that it wasn't a crank call, Tait decided to meet with Palmer's representatives to see if there was a good fit.
"I wanted to make sure it wasn't too corporate and I didn't want to lose what it is we do with Quagmire."
After literally going into Palmer's closets in Latrobe, Pa., and sorting through archives of photos focusing on Palmer during his heyday in professional golf, Tait came up with a line that represents a throwback to each decade Palmer played using performance fabrics and retro designs.
"I wanted to kind of mimic what he wore but make it more modern for today," said Tait. "I like to call his stye timeless. That's the feel of it. He was such a fashion plate in his day."
1950s Collection - This collection features slim, clean-fitting clothes. The tops are distinguished by short plackets, small collars and shorter sleeves. Palmer 's outfits were often highlighted by the color red, which is exclusively found in the 1950s collection.
1960s Collection - Wider legged pants, wider collars and longer shirt plackets were the style of the day. Super-stylish cardigans were one of Palmer's trademarks on the course. No golfer of the era looked as naturally cool as Palmer, especially in his staple color of blue, which is exclusively found in the 1960s collection.
1970s Collection - While piloting his own plane around the world, Palmer's wardrobe continued to evolve and set trends. He chose shirts that reflected the style of the day, with slightly wider collars and long plackets, but the fit of his pants more closely resembled a modern boot cut. His color palette also became more subdued, hence grey being the signature color exclusive to the 1970s collection.
The Arnie line will also feature limited-edition pieces to be released around the dates of major championships and key tournaments won by Palmer, such as a sleek green and yellow shirt will coincide with this year's Masters Tournament.
Ryan Moore, who has shunned corporate sponsors in favour of his own style, will be sporting the look this year on the PGA Tour as the face of the Arnie Line, part of the plan to try and bring a new generation of fans into the fold.
"He's always done his own thing for the past couple of years and he's known for his style, his attitude and his character. He seems to fit the brand very well," said Tait. "He was the top guy on our list and we didn't think we had a chance to get him. After he saw some of the early designs he said 'I'm in'."Report Typo/Error

If you're updating an iPhone from iOS 6 to a beta version of iOS 7 for either development or testing, Apple will check the UDID of the device in order to make sure it's registered to a developer account. I ran into an issue this past week where an iPhone that was legitimately registered to my personal developer account would not activate. After a quick internet search, I discovered I definitely wasn't alone in having this problem. Luckily, I was able to find a way around it. Here's how:

After Apple released iOS 6 beta 4 yesterday, we started getting flooded with emails and tweets concerning an "Unable to Check for Update" error that was occurring when trying to install the new beta over-the-air (OTA). If you're a developer trying to install iOS 6 beta 4 and you keep getting that error, here's what you can do...

Get in on a Mac App Store beta but not sure how to install the beta app? There are several apps that have iPhone and/or iPad versions as well as Mac versions these days, and if you're beta testing the iOS version, you might need to set up the Mac App Store version as well.
Trying to figure out just exactly how to find your Mac UDID so you can get in on an ad-hoc Mac App Store beta? Just like with iPhone and iPad, your Mac has a UDID (technically a Hardware UUID) that developers can use to send you app builds before they become publicly available. Luckily, it's easy to locate once you know where to look.
iOS 5 developer curious how to do an over-the-air (OTA) update to iOS 5 beta 4 for iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch? Yes, Apple finally pulled the big test switch in the cloud and you can go from beta 3 to beta 4 via a svelte, under 200mb, bit differential (delta) update-in-place rather than the usual beefy 700MB+ iTunes restore of updates past. We'll show you how, after the break!
If you're a developer wondering how to link users directly to the App Store update page for your app, you're in luck, Gabe has posted the URL format up on Stack Overflow.
Turns out the phobos links do still work and you can link directly to the update page using this URL format:
Of course replacing the [APPID] with your own app id, not including the brackets. This will link directly to the latest update for the app, instead of the main app page.

It should work on-device for an app with a waiting update. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes and if you have any other developer tips for us, send them in!
Are you a developer interested in how to enable iPad multitasking gestures in iOS 4.3 so you can test them with your apps? They're not there by default but if you have the iOS 4.3 GM seed and Xcode, you can turn them on. We'll show you how after the break!

Test #1
Work itself is a very important factor in motivating a person. A person tends to perform a task more enthusiastically if that work affords more satisfaction than the others. A person's satisfaction out of work is more if it is more need-satisfying. A man seeks something from work and if he gets more satisfaction from a particular work he will be prone to do that work better or harder. There are incentives for work; these can be financial or non-financial. People like missionaries and some scientists do not work basically for material gains as such. A person wants to do a work which is personally meaningful.
Which one of the following is correct?

After a successful first spring of the Milaca trap shooting team, they capped their season off with a first-place finish at the Minnesota State High School League Championship in Alexandria last Friday.
Milaca, who was in Class A, took home the junior varsity title after hitting 433-out-of-500 targets. Teams are split into classes based on school size, and then from there they are split into three categories (novice, junior varsity and varsity) based on their performance throughout the spring season.
One Milaca shooter, Cole Earl took home high gun honors by hitting 98-of-100 targets.
"We did very well," said Dave Totzke, one of Milaca's coaches. "Cole (Earl) did a great job to get the top spot."
Ben Totzke did well too as he placed in the top 20 with a mark of 89. Noah Totzke added an 84, Nathan Zorn hit 82 and Jack Barsody converted 80 to make the Milaca total of 433. The total is made by adding the top five scores together.
Other shooters for Milaca were Cole Barsody's 75, Austin Majerus' 79, John Manthie's 74, Austin Larsen's 73 and Austin Scherer's 56.
Their score topped more than 60 other Class A junior varsity division teams. Earl's score of 98 topped more than 300 shooters in the category.
"It went really well, and it was well run," Dave Totzke said. "The facility was wonderful."
Dave Totzke believes the boys can still improve, and though the varsity division is much more difficult, thinks they could make it up to there next year.

Monessen kids explore 'Shades of Grey' terms
The Monessen School District is investigating a purported incident in which middle school students received from a school employee a word search puzzle containing sexually explicit terms related to the erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey."
But district officials declined to discuss the matter at length, saying they had first been informed about it Monday.
At Tuesday's school board meeting, parent James Carter wanted to know why his son was recently handed a word search sheet with terms related to the novel and motion picture.
The book explores explicitly erotic activity involving such sexual practices as bondage and discipline. The word search reportedly was downloaded from a website, copied and distributed to an unknown number of students.
Carter said he went to Monessen Middle/High School on Tuesday seeking answers from Principal Eric Manko and Dean of Students Don Madzey but was refused information because he insisted on taping the exchange.
"I wanted to record the conversation because a lot of parents had questions about it, and I was denied that," Carter told the board. "So I guess I come here today to find out the timeline and how it happened."
Board President Donna Fantauzzi called the situation "a personnel and student matter."
"As a school board, we don't have the right to speak about it in public," Fantauzzi told Carter. "As a parent, I can understand your concern, and I can assure you we value your comments and we will handle it the best we can."
Carter did not return a phone call Tuesday evening seeking further comment. After the meeting, Fantauzzi referred all questions to solicitor John Toohey.
Toohey said it was "too preliminary" to reveal details, such as who passed out the word search, how many students received it or if discipline is anticipated.
Toohey said that as of Tuesday evening, the board and administration was "hamstrung" from providing particulars.
"The district learned of this yesterday and is trying to gather all the facts so it can be treated fairly and expeditiously," Toohey said.
When asked what he thought of the controversial terms contained in the puzzle, Toohey said that was part of the investigation.
"There's not enough known at this point to be even able to give a personal reaction," Toohey said.
"We have to take a professional approach to this … and give everyone an opportunity to respond."
Facebook pages lit up Tuesday expressing outrage about the incident, but several attempts to reach the posters for comment were unsuccessful. At least one parent posted a copy of the puzzle.
Toohey said district officials cannot control public comment.
"The district – and the school board in particular – cannot really respond because of the laws to protect children and personnel here," Toohey said.
"Boards are ill advised to have the issue discussed in the media until they get their arms around all the facts."
Toohey gave a tepid denial to purported accusations by parents that the district was attempting to sweep the issue under the rug.
"My only comment to that is to reiterate that the district learned of this (Monday) and we are less than 24 hours from that point," Toohey said. "I'm involved in it, the superintendent is involved in it and the investigation is ongoing."
Superintendent Dr. Leanne Spazak confirmed she is leading the investigation, but said she could not comment further.
Biz boss hired
In other action, the board hired Jeffery Fester as business manager at a salary of $68,000. Fester, who serves in the same capacity in the South Allegheny School District, will replace longtime business manager Linda Hall, who will retire next month.
Fester will begin work March 16.
Hall said she hopes to have the tentative 2015-2016 budget halfway completed by the time Fester takes over.
The board accepted a $53,600 bid from Whitby Inc. of Uniontown to replace a water heater and repair a leak.
The board tabled the motion at last month's meeting so director of maintenance John Desak could compare costs.
During her report, Spazak implored students and parents to take advantage of the district's lunch program.

Harry Houdini the 4th was not really a descendent of the actual magician and escape artist, but he legally changed his name to make people believe he was of that lineage and to make himself look more mysterious, which helps when you're in the magic performance business.
Harry was submerged under water inside a shark tank in shark-infested waters one day for his debut stunt with a promise he would be back in the boat, which ferried him out to sea within one hour. He had exactly one hour of air in his oxygen tank. He was wearing only swimming trunks, a mask and a tank. He had no knife or weapon of any kind.
He was supposed to escape the shark tank, which was locked, from the outside and swim through the many various sharks to the surface. Television cameras were on and millions were watching this stunt with eyes glued to the set, waiting to see how he would get out safely.
After five minutes, Harry the 4th got the lock unlatched and prepared to make his get away. The lock was easy; he had a secret key…no problem. He also had a can of shark repellent handy as he opened the cage and was ready to spray the life saving spray around him as he swam to the surface.
He darted up, away from the cage and began to spray the repellent around him, but there was a problem…you were suppose to spray the repellent BEFORE you got into the water. The can didn't work when spraying it underneath the water.
He hurried as fast as he could toward the surface. He didn't see any sharks, because he focused on getting to the top alive. Just as he got to the top, one of the sharks that had been following him bit his leg. The other sharks pulled out their finest eating utensils and began to have a feast…a magical feast of a stupid, phony human for their main course. The television audience viewed the entire spectacle and winced at Harry's colossal failure.
He only wanted to be successful. Well, he had his 15 minutes of fame.

Swan Gold (formerly known as Monarch Resources) has placed the projects on MinesOnline.com, an online platform operated by PCF Capital Group for mining companies looking to buy and sell projects. Indicative bids for both projects are due by November 18.
The asset sales continue a troubled history for the miner, which was formed earlier this year following the recapitalisation of Monarch by
Mr Kiernan stepped down as chairman of Swan in June, a week after Bruce Maluish and John Baxter resigned from the board. Swan also advised last month of non-executive director Martin Adams's resignation only a few weeks after his appointment. Mr Adams replaced Mr Kiernan as chief executive of Stirling Resources in June.
Swan Gold said in late August that it was reviewing options to resume mining from the Kalgoorlie projects, with the company considering supplying its 1.2 million tonne-a-year Carnegie plant from the Sand King and Missouri open pits.
It said a resource definition drilling program to provide ore from other deposits in the Siberia tenements as well as the Riverina and Lady Ida tenements would begin immediately and take about three months to complete "at which time it is anticipated that a resource inventory representing some 18 months of processing should be available to commence mining".
Swan said it had the support of Stirling Resources and its major shareholder DCM DECOmetal, a global commodity marketing group with a turnover of $US1billion a year.
According to MinesOnline.com, the Mt Ida project contains reserves of 64,000 ounces of gold at a grade of more than 17 grams per tonne. The mining assets include underground mining equipment, a refurbished shaft and hoisting system and two production drives. The open cut Carnegie project, located about 120 kilometres north-west of Kalgoorlie, is an open cut mining operation with established mine and processing infrastructure.

What attributes of a treatment/rehabilitation program in the criminal justice field are likely to "work" and why?
- print Print

1 Answer
According to an extensive study done by the Michigan Department of Corrections, "program integrity" and "program quality" are crucial to the success of prevention of recidivism. Program integrity measures effectiveness of intervention and program quality assesses how services are made available to the inmates.
There are a number of different programs that have been offered to try to rehabilitate offenders. These programs include, but are not limited to, academic and vocational education and cognitive and behavioral treatment. Despite the 260 treatment programs, this study found that "only 8% of programs were found to be very satisfactory."

Boehner Column: The President's Health Care Law Must Be Fully Repealed
Today, Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) released the following column discussing House Republicans' continued efforts to repeal the president's job-crushing health care law:
The President's Health Care Law is Hurting Our Economy, and Must Be Fully Repealed
"Americans are dealing every day with the tough realities of life in the Obama economy. They're facing rising prices for food, gas, college tuition and health care. Many are out of work. And among those fortunate enough to have jobs, many are struggling to keep them. Couple this with the ever-present specter of higher taxes — which are constantly being threatened by the president and his advisors — and the possibility of another downgrade in our nation's credit rating as a consequence of the national debt that has exploded under the president's spending policies, and it's a pretty grim picture. If you're reading this, you know exactly what I mean.
"The president's health care law was supposed to lower health care costs and create jobs, with one Congressional leader promising the immediate creation of 400,000 jobs. Instead it has raised health care costs and made it harder for small businesses to hire new workers, making things worse. Its failure parallels that of the president's ill-fated 'stimulus' spending law, which was supposed to keep the national unemployment rate from rising above eight percent. More than three years later, the unemployment rate has yet to fall below eight percent under President Obama.
"What Americans wanted in 2010, and still want today, is a common-sense, step-by-step approach to health care reform — not the costly, 2,700-page government takeover of our health system that produced the president's 'comprehensive' health care law.
"As I said then, and still believe now, 'comprehensive' is not something Washington does well. My Republican colleagues and I passed legislation (H.R. 2) through the House last year to fully repeal the president's health care law as one of our first acts as a new majority, and full repeal remains our goal. It was part of our Pledge to America in 2010, and anything less is unacceptable.
"The House Republican majority has voted 29 times so far to repeal, defund, and dismantle President Obama's health care law. In addition to H.R. 2, the jobs-focused budgets passed by the House this year (H.Con.Res. 112) and last (H.Con.Res. 34) fully repeal and defund the government takeover of health care. We've passed — and the president has signed into law — our bill to repeal ObamaCare's paperwork mandate on small businesses. We enacted legislation preventing the IRS from hiring 16,500 new agents who would have helped to impose the law's tax hikes and mandates.
"The list goes on. The House passed legislation (H.R. 5) repealing the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a panel of 15 unelected and unaccountable government bureaucrats tasked under ObamaCare with rationing care for America's seniors. We've successfully eliminated several ObamaCare slush funds that were slated to waste billions of taxpayer dollars. And we've passed legislation that would eliminate another one and use the funds to prevent student loan rates from doubling this summer.
"There's no telling how the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of the president's health care law. But regardless of what the Court decides, Republicans will not respond in a manner that repeats the Democrats' mistakes. We won't rush to pass a massive bill the American people don't support.
"The number-one health care concern of families and small business is the cost of health care. They want a step-by-step, common-sense approach that will lower costs.
"It's also worth noting that women make 85 percent of the health care decisions in our country, and represent the vast majority of health care professionals in America. The step-by-step, common-sense health care reforms my colleagues and I have long supported will ensure families and doctors make health care decisions — not Washington. We want families to be able to make their own choices in health care, visit the doctor of their choosing, and receive the health care they and their doctor feel is best.
"The big question is what President Obama and the Democrats who run the Senate will do after the Court rules. Will they renew their quest for government-centered health care? Or will they abandon ObamaCare and work with us step-by-step on patient-centered solutions that lower health care costs?
"In the weeks ahead, we'll learn the answer. But one thing is already clear: regardless of how the Court rules, the president's health care law is raising costs and hurting small businesses, and it must be fully repealed."
Boehner represents Ohio's 8th District, which includes all of Darke, Miami, and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County. He was first elected to Congress in 1990.

Mt. Pleasant takes steps to control speeding in borough
Speeding problems in Mt. Pleasant and other items tied into the operation of the police department took up part Monday's council meeting.
This month, borough resident Michael Quigg asked council to place stop signs at the corner of Center and Terrace avenues. He said he hoped the signs would reduce a problem with speeders in his neighborhood.
Council on Monday approved the installation of a three-way stop sign system at the intersection, along with four-way stop signs at South Shupe and Spruce streets and South Shupe Street and Terrace Avenue.
Council member Cory Snyder, head of the safety committee, said speeding is a problem in several areas.
But council President Joseph Bauer said the stop signs might not solve the speeding problem.
"I agree with (placing the stop signs), but I'll tell you right now, don't be surprised if the stop signs don't solve the problems with the speeders," Bauer said.
Snyder said there is a problem with speeding near the T-ball field. He asked whether the borough could put speed bumps in the area. Borough Manager Jeff Landy said that since it is a borough road that should not be an issue.
While rain gardens have helped eliminate many flooding issues in the borough, recent heavy rains have caused some problems.
Another rain garden will be installed to address problems in several areas..
Landy told borough officials a proposal is in the works to seek bids to redo the borough's buildings for energy savings. Landy said the solicitor had been working to prepare the specifications for the work. He expects the solicitor to present them to council on Aug. 6.
In other items, a planned Tomato Festival has been cancelled because the volunteer who was to handle the fundraiser declined as a result of a lack of time. Council now is considering a fireworks ball, possibly in November, to raise funds for the purchase of the fireworks for the July 4 celebration.
The borough is looking for volunteer organizations to help with the wrapping of the 40 borough Christmas wreaths with garland.
Council announced the VFW building may be sold. The organization will move to another building in the borough.

If it is a mole, then you should go see your doctor. My friend have a black mole and she saw her doctor. But it wasn't cancerous. Don't worry, I'm sure its going to be fine :D

Alabama Crimson Tide 2012-13 Season Highlights - BCS National Champs
Today, our first stop is where else? The bell cow of the SEC: Alabama
Fan Review: Alabama fans exceptionalism or simply spoiled?-capstonereport.com
College football's signing day is (thankfully) in the rear-view mirror, and the start of spring practice is right around the corner. There's not a better time for the second edition of the 2013 Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25. Alabama, the two-time defending BCS national champion, remains No. 1 after signing what is considered the country's best recruiting class. But Oregon, which was previously No. 2 when it looked like coach Chip Kelly would stay, falls to No. 5 after he left for the Philadelphia Eagles. Stanford, Ohio State and Texas A&M climbed up a spot, and Florida, Notre Dame and Michigan also were big climbers after signing top-10 recruiting classes. Along with Oregon, South Carolina, Clemson, Texas, Oregon State and Boise State fell a few notches.Say good-bye to Wisconsin, which lost coach Bret Bielema to Arkansas and hired former Utah State coach Gary Andersen to replace him, and USC, which remains a mess under coach Lane Kiffin.
Tide strengthen spot in 2013 Top 25-ESPN
AJ McCarron was almost giddy when he spoke with ESPN's Tom Rinaldi on the morning of national signing day. Alabama's junior quarterback has won two national championships as a starter, and he broke all kinds of passing records this past season. And despite all he has accomplished, the steely, strong-armed veteran had something to get worked up about, something to look forward to next season.

Most of us are already aware that ACTA, PIPA, CISPA and all of their acronym cohorts were never authored due to a concern over piracy, but actually about censoring the public while using an authoritarian hand. If you're a mean person to anyone on the Internet — which occurs in about 99% of the political comment threads — you can be censored then required to release your real name. Suggestion: drop all the F-bombs you can muster now because those days will be history — at least here in New York, but it's not a stretch to assume, given the other censorship legislation which has been authored, that this too will be coming to an area near you.
The explanation given, albeit the most oddly worded one (for an explanation) yet was by
Mr. Rogers Republican Assemblyman Peter Lopez, who co-sponsored the bill, stating that the Internet has become the "wild west: almost anything goes." Has Lopez seen Congress lately?
Well, we call that Freedom of Speech.
New York magazine reports:
Identical bills in both houses of the New York State Legislature would require all New York–based websites to "remove any comments posted on his or her website by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post."
If the bill passes, websites would be required to provide a toll-free number or e-mail address where people could report cyber-bullying. After receiving a complaint, websites would need to contact the original commenter and inform them that their post will be deleted if they don't identify themselves within 48 hours.
Let's pause for a moment. Fuck! Moving right along…..
Republican Assemblyman Peter Lopez, who co-sponsored the bill, said the Internet is like the "wild west: almost anything goes" and the legislation is a step toward ensuring that we're "civilized as we conduct ourselves in the use of that resource." Supporters of the measure say that in addition to ending online harassment and preventing businesses from posting negative reviews for their competitors, it would elevate the level of political discourse online. Assemblyman Jim Conte, who also co-sponsored the legislation, explained:
Finally, the legislation will help cut down on the types of mean-spirited and baseless political attacks that add nothing to the real debate and merely seek to falsely tarnish the opponent's reputation by using the anonymity of the Web. By removing these posts, this bill will help to ensure that there is more accurate information available to voters on their prospective candidates, giving them a better assessment of the candidates they have to choose from.
(my bold)
Seriously? And who will be Lording over Internet users in order to differentiate between the 'good' comments and the 'bad' comments. It appears that politicians who decidedly made themselves Gods of the Internet can pick and choose whose comments are conducive to their particular political standards. If/when this day comes, I'd rather shut FreakOutNation down that to demand that readers give up their anonymity in order to enjoy our right to Free Speech — and I say this as Anomaly100 not my birth name because I prefer to not give up my rights too.
Drop your F-bombs now because those fucking fuckwits are trying to find out who is mean, and who is nice like Santa Claus in a Bizarro fucking World.

Graphic Novels
Comics & Graphic Novels students will inevitably study Graphic Novels, and in doing so need to obtain Graphic Novels textbooks. But students of Graphic Novels often spend far too much money every semester purchasing Graphic Novels textbooks. Graphic Novels books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either Roger Hangs Out (Roger series), The Full Roger (Roger series), or Odd Is on Our Side. Created by Dean Koontz can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Man in the Iron Mask (Collins Classics), the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780007232543) from your Graphic Novels class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying Fantasy, Horror, or any other subject within Graphic Novels, renting textbooks is the way to go.

Discussion in 'Streetwear and Denim' started by SirGrotius, Feb 20, 2012.
Agreed, I size down one in Dior formal shoes.
Thank you. Is $500 a good price for that shoe, or can it be purchased for substantially cheaper?
Sounds good to me. I only buy at the boutiques, so I'm unfamiliar with other prices. That sounds about 50% of what I would expect at retail, so a good deal assuming it's all legit. The construction is usually very solid.
Pulled the trigger and I finally got the shoes in. Love them!
Any tips on how to take care of calfskin? Shoe tree and/or leather conditioner necessary?
The grain on those look very similar to my dvn. Definitely wood trees. My usual routine for the dries is condition and cream polish every 3months-ish when worn 1-2 times a week. No need for conditioning out of the box though.
Very helpful, thank you!
Do you recommend that I topy the sole? This is my first foray into nice dress shoes.
I never add anything to the sole, but if I need them resoled I go to Dior (or John Lobb the other brand of shoes I wear) and have them resole them. I only need to do it every three of four years, if that, but I have a rotation of shoes.
If these will be your go to on consecutive days, then you might want to get some extra protection on the sole which is cheap but make sure it's done right.
There's something nice about having a real leather sole hitting hardwood, but not worth the trouble if these will be getting a ton of use.
I bet they look great!
Can anyone help me size 48 fits on me ? I wear size 30 for 17.5 cut, 160 lbs ,5'11 ... I'm seeking for a Dior coat but not sure size 48 fit on me ?
DIOR HOMME - Down jacket
You're a perfect height/weight for Dior, and the down will be super nice.
48 would work and give you some room to wear a sweater underneath. 46 would be a slim fit for you; might be tight.

Im writing a paper on this and i would like to hear some peoples input.
Views: 175
The whole list or just the top ten?
1. The state should not be financing churches. In the US, the government finances churches through the faith based initiatives. Here's more information on this donkey that you have to pay for through your taxes like it or not regardless if the church beliefs or plans gel with yours: http://www.hhs.gov/partnerships/ I'm sure if as an atheist you tired to use these programs you would be turned away or preached at. A person should not have to be preached at or turned away from a government sponsored program due to their lack of faith.
2. Who decides what churches meet the muster and which don't? Polygamy is not popular in this country, but practiced by many religions elsewhere. For a number of years, polygamists have been singled out as not good by the US government. The government claims to be hands off churches until it comes to polygamists and often Muslims. Churches should be treated the same, but they aren't. The good ones get government money to finance their pet projects, the bad ones get a lot of scrutiny and sometimes harassment.
3. IMO, if we truly had a separation of church and state, ministers and churches would have to pay taxes. Perhaps the biggest tax haven of them all is to declare oneself a minister. The government doesn't check up to see if someone has actual followers or actually funds programs to help the poor, etc. From what I can see, most ministers pay no taxes, live in a church owned home and basically get off scot free in the tax department while they live pretty lavish lives. Remember the Bakers? Why should a Walmart worker have to pay taxes while a preacher making 6 figures does not because he's "a man of god"?
I'm tired right now, but I'll have more later. Basically, I feel as an atheist, I shouldn't have to support the lavish lifestyle of a baptist preacher through my taxes and I shouldn't have to live under the laws of his church. Right now, I think there are a number of people who would like the US to be a theocracy, however, they never think about what happens if their church looses out and they get stuck having to live under the laws of a church they don't like, and don't agree with. It's all well and good as long as it goes their way, and they never think what if it doesn't?
Have a look at my treatise: What is Secularism and why is it important?
You might want to check Youtube for the Eddie Tabash presentation @ the 2007 Atheist Alliance International (AAI) Conference...
It would be interesting to rank all the countries of the world by how strongly they separate church & state and see what you get. At the "no separation" end of the list, you'll have countries like Iran, Pakistan, ... I've often thought about showing this those Americans who are opposed to the separation.
I think I'll do a bit of googling now to see if someone's already done this.
I think Sam Harris' book _The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason_ may talk about reasons for separating church & state. I'll try to pull that book off the shelf tonight.
Michelle Bachman and Saudi Arabia come to mind as examples of good reasons.
Hello Macie, I'm looking forward to reading your paper. France has made it into a law and the origin dates back from Enlightenment, when philosophers wanted to break free from the constraining influence of the (Catholic) Church: for many, atheists or deists, the Church was the institutional enemy to defeat (and destroy), a bit like religion in today's America.
In a nutshell, the separation of the Church and the State guarantees freedom of religion, including atheism: the State won't pay for the Church or its ministers (although in France, they pay for the buildings, who were owned by the Church before the Revolution, but ten by the State), and children won't be educated in public schools by religious people. Hence, religion becomes a private thing, and the Republic is non-religious (laïcité.)
Voltaire, a deist, wrote incendiary pamphlets against the Church. Diderot wrote that "Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest", which IMO illustrates the topic pretty well. Finally, I would like to suggest that you read Marquis de Sade's "Dialogue entre un prêre et un moribond" (dialogue between a priest and a moribund (?)) where a dying man explains a priest why he's an atheist. Slightly off-topic, but very exquisite, if you can read French. If you cannot, I'd be glad to translate it for you, maybe with some help (open call :)

Fourth in a series. See Part 3 [1].
Other fungicides available for use on field crops in Iowa are in the benzimidazoles class or are contact fungicides.
Benzimidazoles are widely used fungicides that first became available in the late 1960s; however, thiophanate-methyl is the only fungicide in this class labeled for use on field crops in Iowa. Benomyl also is in this fungicide class but is no longer commercially available. Benzimidazoles are effective against a broad range of fungi that cause leaf spots, root and crown rots, stem rots, and powdery mildew--but not rusts.
How do benzimidazoles inhibit fungi?
These compounds interfere with fungal mitosis (normal cell division), so they affect the growth of fungi.
When should benzimidazoles be applied?
Preventively or as early as possible in the disease cycle.
Where do benzimidazoles move in the plant and how long do they last?
These fungicides cannot move down the plant, so they are effective only if there is complete coverage of the entire plant. Canopy penetration is essential to good control.
Do we worry about fungicide resistance?
Yes, these fungicides affect fungi at a very specific site in the metabolic pathway of target fungi and, therefore, resistance to these fungicides develops very easily. This was the first group of selective fungicides for which resistance in plant pathogens was found, and benzimidazoles are now not effective for many important diseases. See recommendations from product labels and the QoI and triazole articles in previous weeks for managing fungicide resistance.
Contact fungicides
Contact fungicides are applied to the leaf and stem surfaces and are considered protective or preventive fungicides. Contact fungicides have a broad spectrum of disease control activity. Contact fungicides approved for use in Iowa include inorganic compounds (copper and sulfur), dithiocarbamates (mancozeb), and chloronitriles (chlorothalonil).
How do contact fungicides inhibit fungi?
They inhibit the fungi on the plant surface, usually spore germination, so the fungus will not be able to infect the plant. Contact fungicides affect multiple sites in fungi; they kill fungi by overwhelming them with poisonous materials.
When should contact fungicides be applied?
Preventively--these fungicides do not affect fungi once they have infected the plant.
Where do contact fungicides move in the plant and how long do they last?
These fungicides remain on the plant surface and do not penetrate into the plant. They remain active only as long as the fungicide remains on the plant surface in sufficient concentration to inhibit fungal growth, usually 7 to 14 days.
On plant surfaces, contact fungicides are sensitive to environmental conditions like rainfall and solar radiation. The strobilurin and sterol inhibitor fungicides are absorbed into the leaf after application (once the residue has dried) and are not affected by rain wash-off and solar radiation. A general rule of thumb for the effect of rain on washing off protectant fungicides follows:
- Less than one inch of rain since the last spray will not significantly affect residues.
- One to two inches of rain will reduce the residue by half.
- Over two inches of rain since the last spray will remove most of the spray residue.
Do we worry about fungicide resistance?
No, but contact fungicides are a part of fungicide resistance programs. If multiple applications of fungicides are needed, the benefit of including a contact fungicide is not to eliminate the resistant strain of the fungus but to reduce the number of systemic applications you make in any one year. This extends the number of years you can use the systemic fungicide, but it does not prevent the eventual development of fungicide resistance.
Go on to Part 5 [2].

How Did An Italian Become The Patron Saint Of Ireland?
What we hear of St Patrick comes from the Declaration, which was allegedly written by Patrick himself. It is believed that he was born in Roman Britain (the Roman Empire was occupying Britain at the time so he wasn't an Italian from Italy but from the Roman Empire, quite large at the time) in the fourth century, into a wealthy Romano-British family. His father was a deacon and his grandfather was a priest in the Christian church. According to the Declaration, at the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland.
They say that he spent six years there working as a shepherd and that during this time he "found God". The Declaration says that God told Patrick to flee to the coast, where a ship would be waiting to take him home. After making his way home, Patrick went on to become a priest and went back to Ireland with forgiveness in his heart.

If 2011 is to be remembered for just one deal, it is SABMiller's bid for, and likely acquisition of, iconic Australian brewer
The deal involved Australian bankers from six different institutions and broke ground in legal circles for the way it evolved from a scheme of arrangement into a hostile takeover and back to a scheme.
There was a demerger, strategic use of hedge funds, tactical timing around annual results and a masterful appearance at the Takeovers Panel.
The deal also had an acquirer who did not want to criticise the target's brands publicly and a target with a long tail of 70,000-odd shareholders.
While the deal still needs to be approved by Foster's shareholders when they meet in Melbourne tomorrow, it is Australia's largest announced mergers and acquisitions deal this year and would become the largest inbound M&A since CEMEX bought Rinker Group for $16.5 billion in 2007.
The timing of SABMiller's bid was triggered by Fosters' spin-off of its wine assets into Treasury Wine Estates, approved on April 29.
The demerger brought to a head years of planning by SABMiller and its advisers, including JPMorgan (led by Jon Gidney and Grant Dempsey) and RBS (Craig Evans and Nicholas Rowe), who had been working behind the scenes for at least two years.
Moelis & Co was also brought into the tent after James Dunphy and another key banker jumped ship from RBS. Morgan Stanley had a role as SABMiller's corporate broker.
On the other side, Foster's had its long-term advisers – Goldman Sachs' Christian Johnston and Zac Fletcher, and Gresham's Bruce McLennan – by its side through the demerger, fearful that an interloper would emerge.
SABMiller wanted to use Foster's successful beer brands to increase its exposure to Australia. A sizeable acquisition in a developed market meant it could aggressively chase growth in emerging markets. The South African brewer considered making an offer before the demerger but faced a problem of finding a partner to take the troubled wine business or structuring an offer that would only come into effect after the demerger.
So SABMiller waited for the demerger to happen. It studied the widely-available demerger documents for due diligence and monitored the beer division's performance.
Outlook commentary and forecasts were absent from the demerger document however: SABMiller would have to wait until Foster's first year-end result in August 2011 to get this.
SABMiller revealed itself as a predator on June 21, two months after the demerger, when it negotiated its way out of a joint venture agreement with Coca-Cola Amatil.
CCA, advised by Macquarie Capital, agreed to sell its Pacific Brands joint venture, including the manufacture of Bluetongue and distribution of Peroni and others, to SABMiller for up to $380 million should SABMiller take over Foster's. At the same time, SABMiller wrote to Foster's chairman
Foster's said it had received an unsolicited, incomplete, non-binding and conditional proposal from SABMiller at $4.90 a share.
While Foster's rebuffed the proposed scheme of arrangement, the news spurred hedge funds to take positions. Foster's shares jumped 25 per cent in that one day to $5.14. Getting hedge funds on the register was crucial. Event-driven hedge funds support quick deals and SABMiller wanted to wrap up the deal by Christmas.
SABMiller wanted Foster's chief John Pollaers to face a register keen on the deal being ushered through.
Another two months passed and, publicly, nothing seemed to have changed. SABMiller approached banks in London to secure finance and quickly found out which of them were conflicted and could be working for a competing bidder.
Foster's share price drifted back towards pre-bid levels and hedge funds grew impatient.
The market expected SABMiller to digest Foster's 2011 financial year results on August 23 and review its position. It's at this point that SABMiller chose to strike. On August 17, it announced a hostile $4.90-a-share offer worth $10 billion. In moving before the year-end results, SABMiller surprised the market and cornered Foster's with the legal limitations. Foster's, as target of a bid, was unable to do something that could result in a bid being withdrawn. This restricted Foster's in what it could announce at its result.
SABMiller had about six weeks to lodge its bidder's statement. Foster's rejected the offer and soon after announced a 13.25¢ unfranked dividend and pointed to capital management of at least $500 million, although was not definite in its plans.
While SABMiller's advisers worked on a lengthy document, Foster's Pollaers met investors on a global roadshow. SABMiller asked the Takeovers Panel to review Foster's year-end results presentation; the same numbers Pollaers would have had in front of his investors.
The panel (Mallesons Stephen Jaques lawyer David Friedlander, Peter Day and John Fast) rejected the application after Foster's agreed to clarify its debt position. The panel's decision was seen as a win for Foster's and at best a draw for SABMiller.
But between the panel and Pollears's roadshow, something changed. Within a month of the results, and before the bidder's statement was due to be lodged, SABMiller chief executive Graham Mackay and Foster's Crawford, and their respective advisers, met in Turkey to make a deal.
Foster's called it a $5.5325 offer, valuing the company at $12.3 billion. SABMiller said it was $5.10, which valued Foster's at $9.9 billion. Finally, they essentially agreed on the numbers, provided the deal was executed through a scheme of arrangement. Schemes have a definite cut-off date and a lower threshold of shareholder approval.
The parties went to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to make sure it could be implemented as a scheme of arrangement. The question was how to drop back to a scheme once a takeover was already in motion. ASIC broke new ground and allowed SABMiller to back out of its takeover offer and press ahead with the scheme, provided that if it fell over it would honour the original takeover deal.
When Foster's shareholders vote tomorrow, they are expected to close the chapter on a deal most bankers say should have happened years ago. But it's only now that a cashed-up, hungry suitor has stepped up, and surprisingly to date, the bid has gone uncontested.

Evaluation Handbook
IV. D. Field Mission
The evaluation team undertakes field missions as a means to collect information on the project or programme evaluated.
Various methodologies, such as individual or group interviews, can be used during the field mission to elicit stakeholders' views, opinions and assessments. Key stakeholders in field offices, the beneficiary government, project and programme managers, other project and programme beneficiaries, donors and other relevant partners are invited to share their experiences and opinions with regard to the project or programme being evaluated.
As evaluation exercises are limited in terms of time and resources, it is not always possible to interview all relevant stakeholders or to visit all project or programme sites. In such circumstances, the evaluation team considers appropriate data collection methods and sampling strategies, e.g. focused questionnaires and surveys can be a cost-effective way to elicit the views of as many stakeholders as possible.
During the field mission, the Field Office concerned will support the evaluation team in setting up meetings with key stakeholders (and any additional interlocutors as deemed necessary by the evaluator).
The Field Office is also responsible for making all relevant material available to the evaluation team, arranging discussions between its staff and the team and taking a lead role in discussing with stakeholders the implementation of the recommendations once the evaluation has been finalized.
The support in logistics is also provided by the Field Office.
Field Offices need to ensure security of the evaluation team. The evaluation team members should undertake relevant United Nations security exams and be aware of and compliant with related security protocols.

Daycare Teacher Fired For Leaving Classroom To Save Children From Fire
Florida's already been getting some bad press this month and this isn't helping.
Daycare teach Michelle Hammack was inside her Jacksonville classroom when she smelled smoke. She began searching the surrounding areas for the source of the smell and discovered a small fire in the facility's oven.
She quickly returned to her classroom to wake the children from their nap and escort them out of the building.
Having done what she felt was the safest thing for the children in her class, he was stunned the next day when the facility's owner informed her that she was fired.
"I fired her only because she left her room," Rozhaov told WTEV. "Even though children are sleeping, the teachers are supposed to be there."
For the full story, watch below:
