Through his fascinating articles and lecture-recitals and his fleet-fingered performances on the fortepiano, the pianist and musicologist Robert Levin has added to the general understanding of how Mozart and Beethoven were performed in their own time. The scores for their piano concertos, as he suggests, were filled with moments where the composers fully expected pianists to embellish melodic lines and take off on short flights of fancy. When Mozart and Beethoven, both renowned improvisers, performed their concertos, they routinely improvised cadenzas.
The brilliant and enthusiastic Mr. Levin has shown us a lot. But in the process he has never been able to resist showing off. This was the big drawback to his performances on the all-Beethoven program with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, conducted by Louis Langrée, at Alice Tully Hall on Saturday afternoon, presented by the Mostly Mozart Festival.
Mr. Levin began promisingly with a compelling performance of the Fantasia in G minor, Op. 77. There are clunky, even banal aspects to this solo work.
But most scholars believe it is as close as we have to a written-down improvisation by Beethoven, and Mr. Levin's performance had wonderful spontaneity. He invited you to enjoy the music for its fancy and inventiveness, instead of focusing on structure and content.
Then the orchestra joined Mr. Levin for the Piano Concerto No. 4, and here his determination to revitalize a repertory staple seemed self-conscious and fussy. There were rewarding aspects to the performance: lithe tempos, clear textures (thanks in part to the orchestra's considered use of period instruments and Mr. Levin's own rebuilt 1830 Conrad Graf fortepiano).Continue reading the main story
But for all its lightness and gestural sweep, Mr. Levin's playing lacked technical precision. I'm not one to fault a pianist for occasional smudgy passagework, but Mr. Levin tested my patience.
As is his practice, he improvised the cadenzas in the first and last movements. Both, especially the latter, were attention-grabbing displays, with overly clever harmonic excursions, pointless fusillades of notes and reflective moments that seemed arbitrary, not organic.
The second movement was quite ineffective. The music is a dialogue between the orchestra's stark statements in unison octaves, like forbidding injunctions from on high, and the pianist's replies in soft, consoling chordal passages. It is as if the pleading piano is trying to tame the orchestral bully.
The orchestra played its part with gripping vigor and clipped rhythmic bite. But Mr. Levin, almost inaudible, insisted on rolling (or breaking) the piano chords. No matter how many historic documents he can cite for this approach, his playing made the piano sound prissy, like some wan, wispy harp.
Surely Beethoven was looking forward in this structurally daring and deceptively poetic work. This performance seemed intent on tying the concerto to its early Classical roots, which diminished it.
After intermission the orchestra under Mr. Langrée, which had played quite well in the concerto, gave a blaring, hyper-charged, aggressively energetic account of the Seventh Symphony. Using historically appropriate instruments does not excuse a conductor from having to achieve balances, a constant challenge for conductors of orchestras using modern instruments.
Was Mr. Langrée not bothered by the pounding timpani that drowned out everything else in the plaintive Allegretto movement or by the squalling natural brass instruments in the finale?
Mr. Langrée, the orchestra and Mr. Levin calmed down nicely for the Fantasia in C Minor for Piano, Chorus and Orchestra, with the Riverside Choral Society joining the work's rousing conclusion. The audience, it must be said, responded enthusiastically to everything. This is understandable. There are too many dutiful, cookie-cutter Beethoven performances. These, you have to say, were certainly provocative.Continue reading the main story

Parmesan and Basil Scones
Recipe by FlemishMinx
These savory scones make a satisfying accompaniment to soups, or to any meal when you want something a bit more special than an ordinary dinner roll. They are simple to prepare, the recipe can easily be doubled, and they freeze well.
Top Review by Kim D.
Made for the 123 Tag Game. These are delicious! I followed the directions exactly, except that I didn't have self-rising flour. That was no problem, I just added 1 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to my all-purpose flour and it worked perfectly. The texture of the scones are perfect... soft and tender. I did add just a small sprinkling of fresh Parmesan cheese to each scone before baking. I'll be serving these tonight with soup. Thank you FlemishMinx for posting and I'm really sorry it took so long to leave a review!
See Discussion:4 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 225 g self rising flour
- 55 g butter
- 25 g fresh grated parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda

Lateral Ventricles
The lateral ventricles are the largest in the series of four interconnecting fluid-filled cavities within the brain. These cavities and theirs interconnecting channels, constitute the cerebral ventricular system. The other two cavities of this system are the third and fourth ventricles, while the cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius is one of the interconnecting channels, and it ensures the communication between the third and fourth ventricle.
The ventricular system is a well organized interconnecting system spanning every region of the brain. The channels connecting the lateral ventricles to the third (the midline ventricle) are called the interventricular foramen (or foramen of Monro). The cerebral aqueduct connects the third and fourth ventricles. The system is then made continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord, which originates from the floor of the fourth ventricle. The ventricles produce and contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the entire surface of the ventricular system is lined by an epithelial layer called the ependyma. Also, there is a vascular pia mater in the roofs of the third and fourth ventricles, and in the medial wall of the lateral ventricle along the line of the choroid fissure. This pia mater is directly apposed to the ependyma, and forms the tela choroidea, which gives rise to the highly vascularised choroid plexuses. However, the CSF is secreted by the choroid plexuses located within the lateral, third and fourth ventricles alone, but reaches the entire ventricular system and beyond by flowing from the lateral to the third ventricle through the foramen of Monro. It then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle, and from there into the central canal starting just inferior to the fourth ventricle. The CSF finally leaving the fourth ventricle through the foramen of Magendie and the foramina of Luschka to reach the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain.
Each lateral ventricle lies within a cerebral hemisphere. The lateral ventricle, when viewed from the lateral aspects of the brain, has a roughly C – shaped profile which follows the arrangement and shape of each hemisphere. Thus, the lateral ventricles span the cerebrum, including the occipital, frontal and parietal lobes. The lateral ventricle has a body or central part and three extensions, namely the anterior, posterior and inferior horns.
Body of Lateral Ventricle
The central part of the lateral ventricle is elongated anteroposteriorly. Anteriorly, it becomes continuous with the anterior horn at the level of the interventricular foramen. Posteriorly, the body reaches the splenium of the corpus callosum. It is triangular in cross section and has a roof, floor, and a medial wall; the roof and floor meeting on the lateral aspects. The roof is formed by the trunk of the corpus callosum, while the medial wall is formed by the septum pellucidum and by the body of the fornix, which is common to two lateral ventricles. The floor is formed mainly by the superior surface of the thalamus, medially, and by the caudate nucleus laterally. Between these two structures are the stria terminalis and the thalamostriate veins.
Extensions of The Central Part of Lateral Ventricle
The inferior horn is the largest component of the lateral ventricle. It begins at the posterior end of the central region, and runs anteroinferiorly into the temporal lobe. It has an anterior end that reaches close to the uncus of the cerebrum, a floor, and a roof. The roof of the inferior horn is formed by the floor of the central region. In cross section, the inferior horn has a narrow cavity which is bounded above, and laterally, by the roof, and below, and medially by the floor. Because of this orientation, the lateral part of the roof is sometimes referred to as the lateral wall, and the medial part of the floor, the medial wall.
The lateral part of the roof (lateral wall) is formed by fibres of the tapetum, while the medial part of the roof is formed by the tail of the caudate nucleus and the stria terminalis. These structures are continuous into the roof of the inferior horn from the floor of the central part. Anteriorly, the tail of the caudate nucleus and the stria terminalis end in relation to the amygdaloid complex, which lies in the most anterior part of the roof. The floor of the inferior horn is formed mainly by the hippocampus, along with the alveus and fimbriae. In the lateral part of the floor is an elevation called the collateral eminence, produced by inward bulging of the white mater which lies deep to the collateral sulcus. The anterior horn of the lateral ventricle lies anterior to the central part, from which it is separated by an imaginary vertical line that runs at the level of the interventricular foramen. This extension is triangular in cross section and has a roof, floor and medial wall. It is closed anteriorly by the genu and rostrum of the corpus callosum. Its roof is formed by the most anterior part of the trunk of the corpus callosum while the floor is formed by the head of the caudate nucleus. A small part of the floor near the midline is formed by the upper surface of the rostrum of the corpus callosum. The medial wall is formed by the septum pellucidum. Thirdly, the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle extends posteromedially into the occipital lobe, and like other parts of the lateral ventricle it has a roof, lateral wall and a medial wall.
The roof and lateral wall are formed by the tapetum, while the medial wall shows two elevations, one superior and the other inferior and referred to as the calcar avis. Superior to those elevations is a structure called the bulb of the posterior horn. This bulb is formed by fibres of the forceps major as they run backwards from the splenium of the corpus callosum.

Vista's SP1 was expected to solve a lot of problems; instead, it caused even more trouble. Here are fixes to some top complaints, from a Windows Update that won't update to endless reboot loops. When Microsoft rolled out Windows Vista Service Pack 1 to millions of users, people had king-sized anticipations about what SP1 would do for their systems. Sadly, for some people, that eagerness turned into an imperial-sized disgust at what SP1 did to their systems. Sometimes SP1 wouldn't install correctly; sometimes it wasn't installed at all; and sometimes it left their machines far worse off than before.
I'm going to profile some common disaster scenarios that crop up with Vista SP1 and talk about what can be done in each case. The vast majority of the problems that crop up with SP1 can be solved with a little care and diligence. Even if you have to completely reinstall, you can usually do so without torching your data.
One of the first problems that people reported with Service Pack 1 was that they weren't being offered SP1 for download through Windows Update in the first place. If they wanted to install it, they had to obtain and apply it manually.

Bangsaen Speed Festival ready for the off
Town closes streets to traffic as it prepares for nations first road races
Ariyawat Nuamsawat
Bangsaen is preparing to close the town to traffic this weekend, ready for Thailands first ever road races that will start this coming Sunday, November 11 and continue over a five-day period.
Former Minister of Tourism and Sports Sontaya Khunplome, who is responsible for organizing the races, is predicting that more than 150,000 visitors will crowd into Bangsaen during the week.
Sontaya said that the Bangsaen Thailand Speed Festival would be a historic event for Thailands auto racing, and that 3.7km of the towns roads will be closed to traffic.
The racing festival will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday morning with the first standard roadrace in Thailand. Competitors will battle it out over the 3.7km course that includes straights and fast bends on Upper Kao Sam Muk Road and Bangsaen Beach Road.
The highlight of the competition will be the Super Car and Super 2000 categories, which will see a gathering of Thailands best-known racers. For pickup trucks there will be the Super Pick-up Commonrail 2,500cc event. Toyota will be featured in the Toyota One Make Race that will be held with three categories, namely the Yaris One Make Race, the Vios One Make Race and the Vios Lady.
Sontaya said that this type of racing was popular overseas but that Thailand also has the potential to do it. Bangsaen has roads that are suitable for roadracing, and beautiful scenery to form an important backdrop. The races, he said, will be an important step in developing Thailand motor sports to reach international standards.

Isn't stealing a crime?
Hi, newbie here,
I found this site because I saw this race today on TV and followed a search here. All I can say is thanks to the Thai organisers for absconding with another one of my original ideas that I presented to them when I first came over here in 2003 and their programs were just floundering. It's so heartening to see them having so much success with my suggestions without even the slightest inkling of credit where credit is due.
That also goes along with the numerous one make series they have had for sometime now and also the formatting of moving the series around the country to venues like old airports, all without a single thank you! Let alone any amount of inclusion..
Hey but it's all good because I won't take any credit for the scary lack of safety (driver, worker and fan) that isn't planned into these events, and after all of that investment, (while it is much better than some other events that have been organised like here in Phuket) this track from a drivers point of view is down right scary to everyone concerned, not to mention going to be expensive in terms of vehicle damage as demonstrated by Kirikiats crash testing of the new arnco today in his BMW-Porsche (referring to his BMW patch on his sleeve while driving a Porsche).
While I would never wish any harm come to a fellow competitor, and I wouldn't be saying this if he was injured, in the end I guess that's Karma since he is one of the organisers to which I am referring.
I wish I could get a visionary and entrepreneurial Expat to help me demonstrate to these little fish how a big fish would organize a series and drive one of these cars by backing a real professional player with talent..
Sorry to disappoint Khun Sontaya but this venue is still far below International standards and the only events it will be hosting and exposure it will be getting is going to be on a local level only and from websites because it will never hold any International level FIA events in it's current layout and safety concerns.
Just a clue here guys: Besides a possible life saver, tire walls aren't just to protect the cars and drivers they also protect the arnco so you don't have to have a 1.5 hour break in the middle of a race repairing them.
The Most entertaining move of the race for me was after the ARTO Toyota and Kirikiats Porsche crashed they threw out a white flag??? What is up with that?? That's why Vuttikorn (spelling?) went blazing past everyone down the front straight at full pace in his Porsche which could have been a real hazard to say the least. Because, he races off shore most times and they use International standards of flagging, he obviously read the white flag to mean what it is intended to, slow vehicle on course pass with caution I.E. tow truck, partially disabled but still moving car, ambulance, etc.., or in some cases it means last lap. It has nothing to do with the safety car on course, a standing double yellow at all stations signifies safety car on course, geezz!!.

I want to include the USMC seal, the NAVY seal and mu husbands Unti Logo on his Iraq Homcoming Cake, but i know i am not artistic enough to draw them. how can i get them onto the cake. I've heard of Sugar Printing on paper that you can eat but i have no idea on how to do this.
You have to have a dedicated printer for printing edible art. However, the technique for frozen buttercream transfers might work for you. the instructions are in the articles section
at in store bakery will do it for you too....call and ask if they have a printer....you take them the picture, it usually costs from 5 to 10 bucks.
you can have it done online too...i can't remember who does it tho.
Check out First Impression Molds for military insignia molds
You'll still need the unit logo in an edible image, but the 3-D seals are nice.

When you see videos of the early developers of digital photography, it's pretty funny specifically because of photography today. In those old flicks, to obtain a picture, the cam was as big as a computer is today. The digital photographer needed to put his head under a sheet as well as hold up a massive tripod which blew up with smoke as well as fumes to create the flash.
Today digital photography might not be more various. In the motion pictures, we utilized to be amazed when spies had electronic cameras in their watches or the soles of their footwears. But now it prevails for nearly everyone to have an electronic camera in their phone as well as to be able to pull it out and also snap a picture virtually anywhere.
And if you love analog and digital photography, here is a hybrid camera:
Allow's complete a few voids. We can get back to the origins of the language to find that the word "digital photography" began in the Greek times and also it literally indicates "attracting with light. However the actual scientific research of digital photography did not really take off till the 1800's in this nation when an other by the name of John Hershel applied the words "digital photography", "positives" and "negatives" to the job of producing images. We had "downsides" of our photos from then until the dawn of digital photography in the last couple of years.
For most of us, however, the firm Eastman Kodak is possibly the one we link most with the very early growths of photography. As well as it was the very early leader of photography, George Eastman that made the first improvements on the primitive methods being used up until his operate in 1839. A little trivia? Eastman made the name "Kodak™" up because he wanted his company name to start with a "K".
The advancements started to come along very regularly as digital photography started to mature and also end up being more innovative. Color digital photography was created in 1861 by a scientist named James Clark Maxwell. Up up until after that all photos were black as well as white or monochrome. Shade digital photography was a massive jump onward yet it actually did not begin to move right into the public sector until 2 siblings called Lumière in 1907 developeded the shade plate.
Over the years to follow, digital photography progressed progressively as well as moved out of the globe of scientific research then journalism as well as into each of our homes. But the revolution that has turned photography right into just what we know it to be today took place in 1981 when Sony designed the very first electronic camera that functioned without film. The digital age was upon us.
It was Kodak™ that again obtained the lead on the marketplace by getting the very first electronic cam out on the marketplace in 1990 when they created the Kodak DCS 100™. Just like all innovation, very early electronic cameras were huge (by today's standards) and also far more expensive compared to we are made use of to now.
Development in the field of photography has continuouslied march virtually as quick as people could possibly keep up. When digital cameras were provided that offered us a port to be able to download them to our computer systems, the web surge of images was fueled.
Further growth coming basically yearly considering that 1990 consisted of the quick and also phenomenal growth of memory in electronic cameras in addition to the principle of convertible storage drives. This transformed the method people took pictures since currently the number of images someone could take was practically endless. The development of memory also offered programmers the ability to include video clip capture to the very same gadgets as were utilized for photography to make sure that basically any person could possibly come to be a cameraman with that said little electronic camera that could possibly by this time fit in their shirt pocket. Much of the enjoyable of net sites like YouTube can be attributed to the capacity of the ordinary person to take video anywhere, anytime and at no cost to them.
The photography and video industry has actually needed to do a great deal of adjusting to discover the best ways to service this market that was changing at speeds inconceivable by George Eastman a century before. The affordable availability of quality color printers that allowed people to print their photographs in the house was a benefit to the amateur video camera enthusiast however a blow to the digital photography market.
However to their credit, the sector has actually kept up. Yet we can be sure that the developments are merely obtaining underway. Who knows just what brand-new technical wizardry is in advance for the digital photography world. It is sure to be an enjoyable trip, whatever the future holds.

I am trying to make a form with a dynamic dropdown menu on a specific page in wordpress.
I have made some forms with the "Contact Form 7" plugin, but the plugin doesn't support dynamic dropdown menus.
I managed to create a dynamic dropdown menu by following this guide. But I don't know how to apply this script on a specific wordpress page
The goal is to make a contact form so when you chose 1 option from menu1
menu2 will add some options.
The final form will include other stuff too like filling in your name.
I also want the details of the form to be sent in an e-mail.
Is there another plugin that does this or does it have to be done manually?
If yes, can someone help me with it? I'm fairly new to php and js.

Guide for FIFA 17 includes everything you need to succeed in the virtual football tournament. There you will find a description of the gameplay modes, basic moves and different ways of playing the action.
An effective defense – the most important concepts
Although it is known that our main goal during the match is to win, it's an indispensable element to ensure that the ranks of the defensive everything works like a well oiled machine. Effective smashing enemy attacks requires us to first of all create a good line of defense and ripped and the adoption of appropriate tactics in relation to the ball.
- FIFA 17 puts you in a decisive manner to fight in the middle – as far as possible, try to attack the rival already in the vicinity of the circle center, putting on pressing since the middle of the opposing team.
- Do not hide from fights shoulder to shoulder and attempts to receive the ball in this sector off – chance that it take over is quite large, and fouls in this area do not threaten serious repercussions.
- Use the services of defensive midfielders – they constitute a big help in breaking up attacks, and also one exact a perpendicular often opens a clear path to the gate rival.
- Do not forget about the use of traps ofsajdowych – although it's a bit risky method, with favorable outcome and a robust defense should try to catch the opposing team's attackers in an offside position.
- Try to take care of cooperation formation defenders and midfielders – opponents eager to use the gaps and voids and strengthening the links between these two lines causes the opponents will be harder to break in and around our area.
- Use the services of the high down the position stopwatch – a sensitive position having often crucial to the success of destructive action. Well-built defender is primarily the ability to quickly rush the aiming cross in the box or simply blocking an opponent's body.
Basic techniques of defense
Tackle one of the most effective and at the same time radical techniques for receiving balls and effective defense – well-made tackling this way allows quick interruption of offensive action rival and usually gives a chance to return his teammates to their nominal positions, because often it involves a rush the ball out of play. To execute it, press the button responsible for the tackle . Try to perform a clean interventions – poorly executed slide tackle can end up foul awarded by the arbitrator admonition as a yellow or red card. Avoid intervention from behind, entering without mercy at the opponent with straight legs. If the situation is hopeless in defense, and the only possible chance of stopping your opponent is using foul tackle, try to venture to the play, even though the possibility of receiving cards – especially the favorable outcome.
Tackling the easiest way to arrest the enemy – a great way to perform physical advantage in the battle shoulder to shoulder, leg and exposing and stopping the ball allows you to quickly take it over and start blitz kontrującego. To execute it, press the button responsible for the reception .
Spiking ball in the penalty area
How best to get rid of the ball aimed at areas of the penalty area? Of course, dispatch her strong and decisive head beyond the sixteenth. Half of success is in the playing appropriate setting to the ball and cover your opponent, which is aimed at a football – then even if we miss a ball, it is disturbing attacker will make that direct the ball into the net becomes far more difficult, and his shot – much less precise. To a block, press responsible for the head. Try not to strike soccer balls in areas lying in front of the gate – you may end up a quick shot with the first ball, which sometimes can surprise our goalkeeper. check out on how to get fifa 17 coins free
Advanced techniques of defense
overtaking opponents
Overtaking opponents is a difficult art, requiring us to anticipate possible scenarios playing soccer balls by the opponent. It is worth trying to run up against opponents and take over the ball aimed at his rival especially in the middle – then a possible gap in the defense is easy to complete, and leave the position of the player does not lead to consequences under our gate. It is also an opportunity to launch a quick attack, and surprise the enemy, who can not within a few seconds, re-arrange themselves on the defensive.
Pressing teammate
Often the attack on the enemy alone is not enough – there is always the possibility that a rival will bypass us a spectacular effort or will play ball with staves colleague from the formation. Then use the help of another player, which will cut it off from the possibility of administration and significantly reduces the extent of his ideas to play soccer balls. This tactic should be used especially in the case where the rival is close to one of the corners of the pitch – then receive two football players is far simpler and highly effective. To ask for help from a teammate, press and hold responsible for pressing a colleague .
Blocking a shot in the penalty area
Blocking a shot in the penalty area by means of tackle is playing extremely difficult and involves considerable risk – forgetful attempt reception and wedging the legs of the opponent with machine ends with "eleven", and the success of the stock warrants only pure intervention. It is extremely important at this point is the timing and the location in front of the ball at the point where the player's covenant to donate shot – as in the box of the decision regarding the impact of a second to decide, we also need a way to predict what will our opponent.

Designing a Dream Sewing Room
Written by guest blogger, Aimee Claire. Aimee is an enthusiastic, well-educated freelance writer with a passion for Interior Design. She is fascinated at how different patterns, textures and lighting can completely change the look and atmosphere of a room.
Many women, to quote Virginia Woolf, need a room of their own, in which to be creative. In her case it was so she could write, but it is just as relevant to women, or indeed men, who express their creativity through sewing.
Creating the mood
Where a hobby is carried out, and how that room is decorated, can have a direct, positive effect on the pieces of work created. It is well known that color can induce a particular mood, and there are some colors that help to inspire creativity.
A sewing room is usually a feminine space, so the best colors to use are whites and creams, pinks, blues and greens. White or creams give a room a feeling of airiness and purity, and act as the perfect blank canvas to populate with furniture and personal artwork. Green looks fresh and has a calming effect, while blue encourages relaxation while stimulating creativity. A mixture of either blue or green with white or cream is the best combination for a craft room. Perhaps the prettiest décor would involve a white or cream background, with a pastel color, such as pale pinks or blues, furniture.
A sewing hobby brings with it a lot of supplies and tools, all of which need to be organized and stored. A good way to store fabrics is in cupboards or chests of drawers. Buttons and hooks can be stored in glass jars or transparent boxes, making it easy to see what they contain. These can be placed on a shelf or bookcase, or fixed permanently to the wall as a design feature. Pens and pencils could be placed in pots or upcycled tin cans. Cotton reels can have their own display unit on the wall or on the back of a door, while swatches can be clipped together and hung from a rod. These supplies are pretty in their own right, so make a feature of their storage by using attractive pots and boxes and leaving them on show. Some plain wood storage boxes would look immeasurably better by being covered in vintage-style wallpaper.
Apart from the storage pieces, a sewing room will need a large waist-high table for cutting fabric, a comfortable chair and stool, an ironing board, as well as a moveable storage trolley or unit. Find old haberdashery store furniture to give it an individual feel, and upcycle existing items with a fresh coat of paint. An essential is, of course, a table for a sewing machine, set at the right height and preferably near the source of natural light so as not to strain the eyes too much.
Talking of natural light, consider what will work best as a dressing for the window. Regulated light is best for a craft room, so the best way to dress the window is to install custom made shutters, which can be closed or opened, and the slats will angle the light. These can be framed with pretty floral curtains to soften the look. For night time, it is important to have a good directional light on the desk for close work.

So it's April 1st and people are in the mood to have some fun at the expense of others. Be careful though; even the best thought out plans can backfire. The people in the videos below learned that the hard way.

Research studies show that there is a strong relationship between single parent children and alcohol
More specifically, children who are raised in single-family households are approximately twice as likely to
experience an alcohol-related problem such as alcohol abuse when compared with children who are raised by both
parents in the same household.
According to a Swedish study published in the January 2003 edition of The Lancet medical journal, children
raised in single-parent households are twice as likely to develop alcohol-related diseases than children who live
with both parents.
In the same study, the risk of drug abuse was found to be three times higher in girls and four times higher in
boys from single-parent homes.
Note: This Swedish study compared hospital admissions and death statistics during the 1990s for almost a million
Various studies have concluded that children growing up without their biological father present are more likely
to commit crime, abuse drugs and alcohol and drop out of school.
Not only this, but children growing up without their biological father present are also more likely to commit
suicide, live in poverty and become pregnant as a teenager than children living with their married parents.
The findings from another study discovered that children growing up in single-parent households are twice as
likely to develop an alcohol-related disease than children who live with both parents.
In one study, even 11 or 12 years after the divorce of their parents, adolescents who have good relationships
with their non-custodial fathers are less likely to abuse alcohol or drugs than children who never see their
non-custodial fathers.
In the same study, children who live without contact with their biological fathers are, in comparison to
children who have such contact, more than twice as likely to abuse drugs or alcohol.
In a study of over 450 alcoholics and 80 heroin addicts, it was discovered that the absent father is a very
typical occurrence.
In fact, according to this study, "it is the rule rather than the exception."
In a study entitled "Father Absence and Adolescent 'Problem Behaviors': Alcohol Consumption, Drug Use and Sexual
Activity" in the Adolescence journal, it was found that the absence of the father from the home significantly
affects the behavior of adolescents, and results in greater use of alcohol and marijuana.
This study also found that the impact of the father's absence from the home is apparently greater on male
adolescents than on female adolescents.
That is, the alcohol and marijuana use for father-absent male adolescents is greater than for any other
The data in this study emphasized the importance of the father as a key figure in the transmission of values and
as a role model in the life of the adolescent.
Consistent with the studies outlined above, it is logical to deduce that there is a strong correlation between
single parent children and alcohol abuse.
That is, children who are raised in single-family households are roughly twice as likely to experience
alcohol-related problems such as alcohol abuse when compared with children who are raised by both parents in the
same household.
When alcohol problems emerge, it is important to get the drinker professional help. This applies to all people,
whether they are single parent children or not.

The number of people who surrendered has been put at seventy six and they include women and children.
According to reports, many hungry-looking Boko Harammembers have surrendered to the Nigerian military in Gwoza, Borno State.
The disclosure was made to The Associated Press by a military source and a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) on Wednesday, March 2, 2016.
The number of people who surrendered has been put at seventy six and they include women and children.
They are currently being held at a military facility in Maiduguri, the state capital, according to AP.
They are also said to have told troops that more members of the sect are ready to surrender.
The development confirms claims by Information Minister, Lai Mohammed that the terrorists are hungry and confused.
"In essence, the insurgents have been effectively denied territory or sanctuary and are now in disarray," Mohammed had said on Tuesday, February 16, 2016, during a press conference in Abuja.
"Scattered, demoralized and hungry, they have resorted to terror tactics available to a degraded and defeated insurgent group. The fact that they operate in a few local governments does not equate to holding and controlling territories. We must make that distinction," he added.
President Muhammadu Buhari also recently said that the sectno longer poses a threat to Nigeria.

2011 was a really good year for Sony's Playstation 3. It saw the continuation of (arguably) it's best series, Uncharted. Uncharted 3 was an absolute winner on all accounts. With it's amazing story and revitalized multiplayer, it's definitely one to buy. It also saw the release of Killzone 3, which picks up exactly where the second finished, and with it's stellar storyline and it's multiplayer is an awesome combination. Although it was a cross-platform game, the playstation also got The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim, whose addicting gameplay will surely have you playing it for hours on end. inFAMOUS 2 was also an amazing title, along with the release of Resistance 3. The PS3 had an amazing year, and here's to many more!

A Brad Weber try at the death has given the Chiefs a 30-26 victory and spoilt the Jaguares' home debut as Super Rugby came to Argentina at Velez Sarsfield.
It looked like being a different story three minutes from the siren, however, after the Argentine side scored two brilliant counter-attacking tries in quick succession to go 26-23 ahead.
The Chiefs, champions in 2012 and 2013, kept their cool in an unfamiliar and noisy environment, though, and worked their way back up the pitch for flyhalf Aaron Cruden to break down the touchline and pass inside for replacement halfback Weber to score.
"It was a tough game, fun game," said Jaguares scrumhalf Martin Landajo.
"They had the last word but it could have gone to either team.
"It's disappointing but we're happy to play in Argentina. It was a great match."
After overhauling a 14-13 first half deficit, the Chiefs had largely dominated the second half and led 24-13 going into the last 10 minutes.
The Jaguares finally managed to get out of their own half in the 70th minute when winger Santiago Cordero broke up the middle and kicked ahead for Moroni as the replacement centre made for the line.
The Chiefs got to the ball first and the attack was halted but the Jaguares kept up the pressure and in a series of phases moved the ball across to the right where Landajo spotted a gap and dived over for a try.
Three minutes later, the Jaguares broke again from deep in their half down the left with a good run by replacement flanker Facundo Isa who passed inside to Moroni and the centre evaded the defence to dive over in the corner.
Argentina flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez, making his Super Rugby debut, missed the conversion, leaving his points tally at 11.
The Jaguares, who earned a bonus point to add to their five points for a victory and defeat in their opening two matches in South Africa, confirmed they can live with the best and a victory would not have flattered them.
The hosts scored the first try after 14 minutes when captain Agustin Creevy was driven over to put the home side 8-3 up.
The visitors hit quickly back with tries in both corners through wing Sam McNicol and fullback Damian McKenzie inside three minutes.
The Chiefs pulled away in the second half with wing James Lowe's try just past the hour before the Jaguares had the home crowd on their feet with their late two-try burst.
"I'm really proud of the way the guys stepped up tonight," said Chiefs skipper Sam Cane.
"Credit to the Jaguares, they pushed us right until the end. I'm pretty pleased with the way we didn't stop playing and came up with a pretty handy try at the end."

The executive vice chairman (EVC) of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof Umar Danbatta, has said that data is set to take over voice communication as the next frontier for telecommunication companies.
He disclosed this during the Senior Executive Course (SEC) at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Jos, saying that there are strong indications that the global system for mobile communications (GSM) operators in the country will soon lose voice service as its mainstream revenue source.
Presenting a paper with the theme "Mainstreaming ICT for poverty reduction in Nigeria," the EVC noted that the challenge encountered by developing nations is no longer poverty in its traditional sense, but a lack of access to ICT tools and the vast potential derivable from ICT.
He defined information and digital poverty as the lack of access to the internet in the developing world.
He said, "Digital poverty is the lack of means with which to access ICTs, lack of skills to use the ICTs and inadequate information about the usefulness of ICTs. Digital poverty, thus, incorporates a demand component (the service cannot be afforded), a capability dimension (the skills to use the service are not available) and a supply component (the infrastructure to deliver the service is not in place)."
The NCC boss said that the challenge for the poor is the inability to access information due to inadequate infrastructure, ignorance or illiteracy, saying that the availability of information sources for the poor should be of great concern if poverty is to be reduced.
According to him, "Nigeria, like most developing nations, is not enjoying the full benefits of the ICT revolution due to inadequate telecommunication infrastructure, capacity to maintain existing infrastructure and policies for equitable public participation as producers and consumers of information and knowledge."
He urged the federal government to eliminate poverty in the society by providing the necessary infrastructure to promote access to information by bridging the digital divide in the nation.
"For most developing countries, particularly those with large populations, inadequate infrastructure has made it difficult to participate as equal partners in the worldwide enterprise of knowledge production and dissemination. This portends an unequal distribution of access, resources and opportunities in this new economy. To avert the birth of a new type of poverty (Information Poverty), the ICT gap (digital divide) between the developed and developing nations must be bridged," he added.

What Favorite Items Have You Found From Flea Markets?
Open House: What's Your Best Flea Market Find?
As a flea market fiend, I can point out "antique" items in almost every room in my house. You name it — books, tables, bed frames, dressers, antlers, and chairs are just a few of the steals that have been piled in the back of my car. At one time, I shoved a dress form, a retro diner table and accompanying chairs, an old-timey Singer sewing machine, and a few other vintage pieces into the back of my VW Beetle. Yes, a Beetle! I'm not sure I'd be able to choose my favorite find of all time, but I think it may be my settee with my old Singer a close second.
What's your best flea market find? Be sure to post photos and tales in the Su Casa group!

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I read exemptions to inheritance taxes are applied separately to each heir, would it be taxed and treated as income for beneficiary and are there exemptions for federal and CA in liquidating the Mutual Bonds from the estate to hier for a small estate under $45k in mutual bonds?
Sorry, but I cant follow your question. The money in IRA is what is call IRD - income in respect of decedent. These assets do not get a step up in basis on death and are taxed as ordinary income to the extent of withdrawals from the account.
Please rethink your question and set it out more clearly
The general advice above does not constitute an attorney-client relationship: you haven't hired me or my firm or given me confidential information by posting on this public forum, and my answer on this public forum does not constitute attorney-client advice.

All readers need to do their own research or pay an attorney for a legal opinion if one is necessary or desired.Ask a similar question
Is there any way for an hier/beneficiary to avoid paying taxes on Mutual Bond Funds (they had inherited as IRAs and then put into the Mutual Bonds) inherited when withdrawing/liquidating those Mutual Bond Funds - that was my question. Thanks!
Again, the asset is not the issue. You can buy and sell as much as you want within an IRA without taxes. If you withdrew the funds from the IRA and have already incurred the income tax hit, that is an entirely different issue. AGAIN, if the IRA still hold the funds, you can liquidate them without issue. The only thing you are subject to are minimum distribution rules for the inherited IRA. Consult with you accountant or IRA plan administrator making property elections.
Is there a way to reduce the amount of taxes owed - is it at the adjusted gross income rate, treated as income? like liquidating them in smaller amounts, so as to not raise the tax bracket? Or to pay them over time in say 3 years before the mandatory distribution starts?
Also, what is the mandatory distribution amounts and is it also treated by the individual hier's adjust gross income tax rate and treated as income also?
I cannot give you tax advice. You need to consult an account or tax advisor for an opinion or direction how to proceed. The IRA custodian may be willing and able to review your options with you. All distributions from the IRA are treated as income to you and taxed at ordinary income tax rates regardless of the investments in the IRA
it was an IRA and put into a Mutual Bond Fund I believe. So to get that out it is treated or considered an IRA I suppose. Thank you!
I got the instructions to calculate the min. distribution - can a Benificary Bond Fund be turned into a trust, and what is the min. time allowed for a trust?
I agree with Mr. Shultz. It is not clear what you are asking. You mention three different sets of taxes and it is not clear what you are really concerned about. Estate tax and income tax are completely separate and you can have no liability for estate tax, but not be able to escape income tax. IRAs are almost always subject to income tax, unless they are Roth IRAs. This is because IRAs provide for a great deal of tax deferment, during the decedent's lifetime. The government wants to be paid its tax, at some point, however.

The name 'Air Max 95 360' might be one that fits this shoe, but it's not exactly the tidiest we've ever seen on a Nike Sportswear shoebox. Nike Air Max 95 BB is a small improvement in terms of keeping its numerology perfectly clear, but you wouldn't be alone in associating two Bs with basketball. To the contrary, these AM95BBs are equipped with the running/training 360 Max Air cushion, though they do favor some of the best Nike Basketball models with the Hyperfuse upper construction. This 'Neon' edition is actually a bit closer to 'Dunkman' than the OG Air Max 95 thanks to its dark grey upper; how do all these one-degree changes compare to the legendary original?

Donovan Bailey (b. December 16th 1967 in Manchester, Jamaica) is a former canadian athlete, specializing in the 100 m and taking part in 4 x 100 m relay competitions.
Bailey emigrated to Canada at age 13 and played basketball until he began interesting himself to track and field in 1991. He, however, did not take tracks seriously before 1994. Bailey set a World Record in 1996 in Atlanta when he finished the race in 9.84 seconds +0.7 m/s wind in the 100 m, beating the previously established record of Leroy Burrell. That win reestablished the image of Canadian athletes, an image Ben Johnson had seriously tarnished in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul after he was tested positive and disqualified after winning the gold medal in the 100 m sprint.
Bailey won two Olympic gold medals, both at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia; the first was in the 100 m sprint, the second in the 4 x 100 m relay. He also won three World Championship ones, as well as one silver. He retired from competition in 2001, after being unsuccesful in the 2000 Summer Olympics due to a pneumonia.

What are Little Penguins?
Little Penguins are seabirds yet they cannot fly. Fossil records show that about 65 million years ago they traded their wings for flippers. When they are underwater they use their flippers like small propellers, flapping in a flying motion. They can swim faster than humans with their webbed feet and use their legs and tail as rudders. In the ocean, they can dive down to 69 metres and make an average of 700 dives per day. They may swim 10 to 100km in total each day. One penguin was recorded travelling 100 kilometres in one day. But on the land they must walk with their tiny 6cm legs.
Little Penguins are dark blue on top and white underneath providing perfect camouflage at sea. Below sea predators have trouble seeing them with their white underbelly against the sky. From the air, they blend in with the colour of the sea.
Little Penguin or Fairy Penguin?
Many people know the Little Penguin by its old nickname, Fairy Penguin. New Zealanders call them the Little Blue Penguin. Both are the same Eudyptula minor. This scientific name means good little diver. In 1974, the Australian Common Names Committee decided to use the common name Little Penguin.
How little is little?
The Little Penguin is the smallest Penguin in the world and its average height is 30cm. The largest is the Emperor Penguin. Its average height is 122cm. There are 17 penguin species worldwide. All penguins are found in the southern hemisphere - Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, the sub-Antarctic islands, South America and Africa
Penguin calling
The Little Penguin is the noisiest or most vocal of penguin species. They communicate using a variety of calls - to keep contact at sea,
to attract a mate, to let the neighbours know that they are home, to beg for food when they are chicks and to organise when to come ashore after
a days fishing.
"urrrrraaaaowooooo " a lone unmated male in front of burrow
"kak kak kak" for an intruder
"huk" "uk" or "kuk" contact call on landing or returning to sea
"peep peep" chicks begging for food, calling to parents
Adult penguins can recognise the distinct call of their chicks yet the chicks cannot recognise their parents. This means that when they are hungry they will often beg from any passing adult hoping its their Mum or Dad.
Why do Penguins waddle?
As the Little Penguin has a streamlined body for life at sea, its short legs are placed towards the rear of the body. They do have knees, but they are 'inside' their body. On land this gives them an upright stance and they can only make short steps causing their body to move around. Hence the 'waddle'. It might look silly, but its the most efficient way for them to get around on land.
Are Little Penguins nocturnal?
During the day Little Penguins are often out at sea looking for food. They leave their nests before sunrise and do not return until after sunset, sometimes staying out at sea for a number of days. Little Penguins will wait until nightfall before coming ashore as they are afraid of predator birds who may attack them as they cross the beach and force them to regurgitate their hard won days' catch.
Little Penguins are also active at night, mating, feeding chicks, socialising, protecting their nests and generally making noise. Little Penguins only rest for short periods during the day and night. They can sleep at sea and often doze as they float on the surface.
Do penguins breathe underwater?
No, Little Penguins hold their breath underwater and come up for air. They can hold their breath for up to two minutes.
How well do they see underwater?
Penguins have great eyesight in water and on land. They keep their eyes open when diving. They have a third eyelid that is used to clean the eye and keep it moist.
Do Little Penguins get cold at sea?
No, Little Penguins have amazing feathers that are small and fit densely together to trap air against the skin, insulating their body from the cold water. Feathers are kept waterproof by a liquid wax substance, which penguins secrete at the base of their tail and spread with their beaks. Every year penguins stay on land to moult and replace their feathers.
How long do they live?
The average lifespan for the Little Penguin is seven years. But there have been recorded cases of Little Penguins living to 26 years of age.
Do Little Penguins mate for life?
No, although most penguins renew the pair bond each season, they do have an average annual divorce rate of 18% to almost 50% in some years. Also if a partner dies, they are able to look for a new mate.
How do penguins reproduce?
The same way that other birds reproduce - the female is mounted by the male, he waggles and flaps, and sperm is passed from cloaca to cloaca (bottom to bottom). Inside the female, the eggs may be fertilized. Little Penguins lay two eggs at a time. They take 35 days to incubate, or hatch.
How do penguins find their way home?
Little Penguins have an acute visual memory for landmarks both at sea and on land. They may use underwater contours to help them find their direction as well as land formations or man made lights.
What is a group of penguins called?
You can call a group of penguins on land a 'waddle' of penguins. A group of Little Penguin nests is called a 'colony' or 'rookery'. At sea penguins are often on their own but as the sun sets, they come together just offshore and form a tight group called a 'raft'. Penguins feel safer crossing the sand in a group.
There are no specific names for a male or female penguin or for a chick.
Where can I see Little Penguins?
Phillip Island Nature Park
Penguin Island, Western Australia
Kangaroo Island, South Australia
Little Penguin Observation Centre, Burnie, Tasmania
The Bruny Island Neck, Bruny Island, Tasmania
There are also vulnerable Little Penguin populations in Sydney Harbour in New South Wales, and also at St Kilda in Victoria.

Re: Anyone know of a Dessa Weyandt..
In reply to:
Anyone know of a Dessa Weyandt..
Kathryn Czimcharo 12/21/03
Wow, talk about serendipitous genealogy! I went to the Blair County Genealogical Society on Wednesday to get the obits for my Dad's aunts and uncles, one of whom is Dessa Weyandt and her husband Samuel Diehl. Today is Friday.
I can email you the obit. Dessa was born 8/12/1902 according to my records; 8/12/1903 according to obit. Parents were Adam Weyandt and Della Rachel Lingenfelter; his Joseph Yost Weyandt Jr and Susan Musselman; hers Chauncey Frank Lingenfelter and Elizabeth Claar. Their lines go way back in some cases, and I can send you info by snail mail, and, with their permission, put you in touch with two better informed Weyandt family researchers.
Obit says Dessa died 12/23/1942, heart attack, in Pottstown PA., her home. Married in 1919 to Samuel, resided in Sproul, Pa., then Pottstown.Sons Robert and John, with 2 children deceased. She is buried in Upper Claar Church of the Brethren Cemetery
The Cemetery book, compiled by Jan Oberle, says they had 7 children. Says Samuel Diehl's dad, Cornelius, was WWI vet, and his mom was Margaret Bowser born 1871.
Let me know if this helps. I didn't check to see if anyone else responded to your quesry. I am sending you an invitation to my MyFamily.com website, which has photos of Dessa's ancestors. The narrative for each photo will tell you how they are related.
Nancy Williams, Sykesville, Md.
