Excellent, Deep Series on Uber's Ponzi-Scheme Economics
Linked by Paul Ciano on December 17, 2016
Yves Smith:
To simplify just a bit, the Uber strategy was to (1) jumpstart rapid growth with driver pay premiums that would get lots of drivers to switch from traditional operators; these premiums were real but not as large as they seemed because drivers hadn't figured out how to properly deduct vehicle costs to determine true take home pay, and by willful falsehoods (our drivers make $90,000) (2) gradually cut back driver pay once Uber was clearly a large established play by eliminating incentive programs and increasing the percentage of fares Uber retained; but drivers can't do anything about pay cuts because they've locked themselves into car payments (3) At some point—and according to the study quoted in the second article in the series, it may have already happened—true Uber take home pay (after vehicle costs) is no better or slightly worse than what Yellow Cab paid before (4) Uber achieves industry dominance, drivers have no alternatives, and take home pay falls to (or even below) minimum wage level.

Quick Note: We're currently in beautiful Hawaii soaking up the sunshine - but luckily I did plenty of cooking and baking before we left to share a few recipes with you! Keep up with our adventures while we're away by following us on Instagram or Facebook!
I'm a serious chocoholic. Always have been, always will be.
I don't discriminate when it comes to chocolate. If it's gluten free, I'll eat it.... but when I'm looking for a healthier chocolate treat, these are one of my favourites.
These Fruit, Nut and Chocolate Crunch Bars are like a healthier candy bar. They have crunchy cereal, chewy fruit pieces and so much flavour... you'd never guess they were sugar free or vegan!
They take just minutes to make and can be made in a huge batch to freeze and enjoy whenever you feel like it.
You can use your favourite cereal or whatever you have on hand and add in any mix ins your heart desires.
For this batch, I used a gluten free muesli with chopped dates, banana chips, sunflower seeds, pepitas, walnuts and almonds - but I've also made big batches with puffed rice cereal (like the CRUNCH chocolate bars) and whatever other cereals I've had in the pantry.
So let me share the recipe with you! >>

The end of summer is filled with exciting events in Japan. Perhaps the pressure to do as many memorable things as possible before the school year begins makes us all more aware of the fireworks, the festivals, the romances, and activities.
The summer of 2011 is (was) another unforgettable one for Japan. In talking about this summer, it is impossible to leave out the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. If you lived in the affected areas, it was a summer of rebuilding. If you lived elsewhere, you were limiting your energy consumption in hopes of helping. Fears of radiation contamination caused food scares. Even traditional summer Shinto activities felt the aftereffects – priests had to decide whether they could ceremonially burn wood from within the nuclear power plants' exclusion zones. But admidst this climate, Japanese everywhere learned to enjoy a more humble, quiet summer.
While we furiously wish to deny it, every summer must come to an end. As we enter the second half of August, more telltale signs of the upcoming season cannot help but enter our line of sight. And so perhaps the events that you rush to attend will now leave a slight bitter-sweet aftertaste.
This is Japan now in August 2011:

Clashes between Roman Catholic and Protestant residents of Belfast, Northern Ireland, continued for the second consecutive night tonight.
The police reported smaller crowds than on Wednesday, when more than 600 people rioted in the city's worst night of street violence in three years. But tonight riot control police used armored vehicles to separate warring factions, and a Catholic high school suffered extensive fire damage in what police believed to be an arson attack.
Today's violence, like Wednesday's, began with a pipe bomb thrown at a Catholic home in a mostly Protestant area of Belfast.
No one was injured by the bomb, but in the ensuing chaos more than 300 people hurled stones and gasoline bombs at each other and at police.
Catholic parents were prevented from escorting their children to school by Protestant gangs throwing stones. Protestant community leaders accused Catholic republican groups of orchestrating the situation as a publicity stunt.
In Washington, Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, the Irish Republican Army's political wing, took an optimistic view of the situation.
''By any standards at all, the situation, notwithstanding the current difficulties, is much better than it has been last year or the year before or the year before that,'' he said after addressing members of Congress.Continue reading the main story
But the fragile Northern Ireland peace process faces difficulties in the coming weeks as the leader of the mainly Protestant Unionist party, David Trimble, must make good on his threat to resign as first minister of the fledgling home-rule government if the I.R.A. does not make good on its pledge to decommission its weapons.Continue reading the main story

text: NATURE magazine's big story that grabbed headlines around the world today – that an exoplanet near Alpha Centari, which orbits our nearest neighbouring sun, has the potential to harbour life similar to that on earth, is the stuff of science fiction. However, what I found most thrilling was the news that its '4.2 lightyears away' was not an inconceivable distance for probes to reach within our lifetime – albeit decades from now. Especially if the less-exciting version of Dr Xavier, Stephen Hawking's, plan to hurl space garbage 20% of the speed of light actually works. Which it should… It seems science class could do more for me than just an endless supply of head rushes sucking gas from those metal taps on the desks.

For all the Mets' faults, they could always count on a stopper, R. A. Dickey, to catch the buck before it passed. His record, with one blemish in 19 starts, had been a season-long standard of reliability.
That is, until Tuesday, until the Washington Nationals knocked him around through six innings in a 5-2 loss. And the momentum of the Mets' second-half swan dive continues to gather steam.
Dickey lost for the first time since April 18, ending an 11-game winning streak that was the third longest in team history. Dickey, the Mets' All-Star knuckleballer, could not rise to his most needed role: as a lid to the team's losing streak, which has now reached five games.
"It's tough," Dickey said. "When things are going on a downward spiral, the tendency is to say, 'Woe is me, nothing goes right.' In order to change, we have to stand up. I have to pitch better."
Dickey beat the Nationals last week for the Mets' only win since the All-Star break. But Tuesday he allowed five runs (four earned) in the sixth inning after surrendering only three hits in the first five innings.Continue reading the main story
The Mets have lost 11 of their past 12 games, and the team's frustration with its performance was illustrated by a pregame shake-up.
The Mets (47-50) demoted the struggling outfielder Lucas Duda, a young and sturdy slugger who was expected to be a pillar of the team's production. He hit 10 home runs in his final 185 at-bats in 2011; in 2012, his slugging percentage had dipped below .400.
The team's difficulties, combined with the beating the bullpen had taken the past four games, magnified the need for a change. Duda was batting .190 over his last 29 games. The Mets could preach patience during Ike Davis's early-season slump — while they were winning — but action came more swiftly in mid-July.
"We're not a bad team; we're playing bad," Manager Terry Collins said. "We're not doing anything right right now."
The Mets have been desperate for offensive production from their outfielders all season. Jason Bay, when healthy, has yet to generate much, going 4 for 24 since returning from a concussion. Center fielders Andres Torres and Kirk Nieuwenhuis have 8 homers and 52 runs batted in combined.
Certainly Jordany Valdespin will get more at-bats. He hit his fifth pinch-hit homer of the season — setting a team record — in the eighth.
After wearing the bullpen thin the last four games — two of them in extra innings — Collins was counting on a strong outing from Dickey on Tuesday. But Dickey could not get past the sixth.
"I should've pitched into the eighth," Dickey said. "I had a good knuckleball, I was feeling it, I was controlling it. They were taking mediocre swings at it. I felt too good for that to happen."
He struck out the first two batters of the game on six pitches and looked pinpoint sharp with his knuckleball. But the Nationals got on the board with an R.B.I. double by Danny Espinosa in the fourth.
Things fell apart with two outs in the sixth. Dickey allowed a two-run homer to Adam LaRoche, and then three consecutive hits. On Jesus Flores's single to left field, one of two runs came around on a throwing error by Bay.
Dickey, who has assumed the ace role in the absence of the injured Johan Santana, has a 5.36 earned run average in his last seven games (including one relief appearance).
"There's a lot on his shoulders right now," Collins said. "With Johan being out, he's the guy. That's a big responsibility. He's pitched so great all year long."
Washington's starter, Gio Gonzalez, gave up six runs in three and a third innings against the Mets last week — his worst outing of the season. But he was back to his All-Star-caliber self Tuesday.
"Just wanted to redeem myself from the last start," Gonzalez said. "You always want to bounce back as a pitcher."
The Mets scored on a single by Ronny Cedeno in the third — the first time they had led in a game since Thursday — but that was the only hit Gonzalez would allow until a single by Davis in the seventh. The Mets would get only one more hit (the Valdespin homer) the rest of the game. And the beat goes on.
"Nobody wants to perform like this and have a record like this," Dickey said. "We've lost a lot of close games. But we've got to win some of them, too. It's disappointing."
Closer Frank Francisco complained of discomfort in his right knee late Monday night and received a cortisone shot. His rehabilitation appearance for Class A Brooklyn was pushed back from Tuesday, but Francisco said he should be ready to pitch Wednesday for Class AA Binghamton.Continue reading the main story

Vrouw Grobelaar - The Dream-face
Author: Gibbon Perceval
"I wish," said Katje, looking up from her book—"I wish a man would come and make me marry him."
The Vrouw Grobelaar wobbled where she sat with stupefaction.
"Yes," continued Katje, musingly casting her eyes to the rafters, "I wish a man would just take me by the hand—so— and not listen to anything I said, nor let me go however I should struggle, and carry me off on the peak of his saddle and marry me. I think I would be willing to die for a man who could do that."
The Vrouw Grobelaar found her voice at last. "Katje," she said with deep-toned emphasis, "you are talking wickedness, just wickedness. Do you think I would let a man—any man, or perhaps an Englishman—carry you off like a strayed ewe?"
"The sort of man I'm thinking of," replied the maiden, "wouldn't ask you for permission. He'd simply pick me up, and away he'd go."
At times, and in certain matters, Vrouw Grobelaar would display a ready acumen.
"Tell me, Katje," she said now, "who is this man?"
Then Katje dropped her book and, sitting upright with an unimpeachable surprise, stared at the old lady.
"I'm not thinking of any man," she remarked calmly. "I was just wishing there was a man who would have the pluck to do it."
The Vrouw Grobelaar shook her head. "Good Burghers don't carry girls away," she said. "They come and drink coffee, and sit with them, and talk about the sheep."
"And behave as if they had never worn boots before, and didn't know what to do with their hands," added the maiden. "Aunt, am I a girl to marry a man who upsets three cups of coffee in half an hour and borrows a handkerchief to wipe his knees?"
Now there could be no shadow of doubt that this was an open-breasted cut at young Fanie van Tromp, whose affection for Katje was a matter of talk on the farms, and whose overtures that young lady had consistently sterilized with ridicule.
The Vrouw Grobelaar was void of delicacy. "Fanie is a good lad," she said, "and when his father dies he will have a very large property."
"It'll console him for not adding me to his live stock," retorted Katje.
"He is handsome, too," continued the old lady. "His beard is as black as—"
"A carrion-crow," added Katje promptly.
"Quite," agreed the Vrouw Grobelaar, with a perfect unconsciousness of the unsavoriness of the suggestion.
"And he walks like a duck with sore feet," went on Katje. "He is as graceful as a trek-ox, and his conversational talents are those of a donkey in long grass."
"All that is a young girl's nonsense," observed the old lady. "I was like that once myself. But when one grows a little older and fatter, and there is less about one to take a man's eye,—a fickle thing, Katje, a fickle thing,— one looks for more in a husband than a light foot and a smart figure."
Katje was a trifle abashed, for all the daughters of her house, were they never so slender, grew tubby in their twenties.
"Besides," continued the worthy Vrouw, "your talk is chaff from a mill. It must come out to leave the meal clean. Perhaps, after all, Fanie is the man to carry you off. I think you would not take so much trouble to worry him if you thought nothing of him."
The Vrouw Grobelaar had never heard of Beatrice and her
Benedick, but she had a notion of the principle.
"I hate him," cried Katje with singular violence.
"I think not," replied the old lady. "Sometimes the thing we want is at our elbows, and we cannot grasp it because we reach too far. Did I ever tell you how Stoffel Struben nearly went mad for love of his wife?"
"No," said Katje, unwillingly interested. "He was something of a fool to begin with," commenced the Vrouw Grobelaar. "He chose his wife for a certain quality of gentleness she had, and though I will not deny she made him a good wife and a patient, still gentleness will not boil a pot. He was a fine fellow to look at; big and upstanding, with plenty of blood in him, and a grand mat of black hair on top. He moved like a buck; so ready on his feet and so lively in all his movements. He might have carried you off, Katje, and done you no good in the end.
"He was happy with his pretty wife for a while, and might have been happy all his life and died blessedly had he but been able to keep from conjuring up faces in his mind and falling in love with them. Greta, his wife, had hair like golden wheat, so smooth and rippled with light; and no sooner had he stroked his fill of it than he conceived nut- brown to be the most lovely color of woman's hair. Her eyes were blue, and for half a year he loved them; then hazel seemed to him a better sort. I said he was a fool, didn't I?
"So his marriage to Greta became a chain instead of a union, while the poor lass fretted her heart out over his dark looks and short answers. He was shallow, Katje, shallow; he had the mere capacity for love, but it was a short way to the bottom of it. You will see by and by that the men who deserve least always want most. Stoffel had no right to a woman at all; when he had one, and she a good girl, he let his eyes rove for others.
"So he went about his farm with his mind straying and his heart abroad. If you spoke to him, he paused awhile, and then looked at you with a start as though freshly waked. He saw nothing as he went, neither his wife with the questions in her eyes that she shamed to say with her lips, nor the child that crowed at him from her arms. He was deaf and blind to the healthy world, to all save the silly dreams his poisoned soul fed on.
"Well, wicked or not, it is at least unsafe not to look where one is going. This was a thing Stoffel never did: since he overlooked his wife, it was not to be expected he would see a strand of fencing-wire on the ground. So he rode on to it, and down came his horse. Down came Stoffel too, and there was a stone handy on the place where his head lit to let some of the moonshine out of him. He saw a heavenful of stars for a moment, and then saw nothing for a long time. Save—one strange thing!
"When life came back to him he was in his bed very sore and empty, and very mightily surprised to see himself alive, after all. He was exceedingly weak and somewhat misty as to how it all had happened. But one thing he seemed to remember—more than seemed, so strong, so plain, so deep was his memory of it. He thought he recalled pain and blindness, and a sudden light, in which he saw a face close to his, a girl's face, pitiful, tender, loving, and charged with more than all the sweetness of beauty that his sick heart could long for. The thing was like one of those dreams from which one wakes sad and thoughtful, as when one has overstepped the boundary mark of life and cast an eye on heaven.
"It was no face that he knew, and he turned on his pillow to think of it. He could not believe it was a dream. 'It was a soul,' he said to himself. 'I knew, I was sure, that somewhere there was such a face, but it only came to my eyes when I was on the borderland of death. If ever God gave a thing to a mortal man, he should have given me that woman.'
"So with such blasphemous thoughts he idled through the days of his sickness, very quiet, very weak, and kind to his wife beyond the ordinary. Of course she, poor woman, knew nothing of the silly tale, and when her husband gave her those little caresses one would not withhold from an affectionate dog, she blessed God that he was come to himself again. You see, Katje dear, that as a man demands more than he can claim with right, a woman must often make shift with less. It is well to learn this early.
"Stoffel grew well in time, and got about again. But the stone had made less of a dent in his skull than the face in his heart, and he was changed altogether. He served a false god, but served it faithfully. He was very gentle and patient with every one, almost like a saint, and he took infinite pains with the work of his farm. He would hurt no living thing—not even so much as lash a team of lazy oxen. You would have thought Kafirs would have done as they pleased with him, but they obeyed his least word, and hung on his eyes for orders as though they worshipped him. Kafirs and dogs will sometimes see farther than a Christian.
"Meanwhile Greta came to die. It was a chill, perhaps, with a trifle of fever on top of that, and it carried her off like a candle-flame when it is blown out. She died well— very well indeed. None of your whimpering and moaning and slinking out of the back-door of life when nobody is looking; nor that unconscious death that shuts out a chance of a few last words. No; Greta saw with her eyes and spoke with her mouth to the last, then folded her hands and died as handsomely as one would wish to see. She prayed a trifle, as she should; forgave her brother's wife for speaking ill of her, and hoped her tongue would not lure her to destruction. I have heard her brother's wife never forgave her for it.

Bishop: 'Fundamental defects' persist in Senate's version of health bill
Help us expand our reach! Please share this article
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The Senate's Better Care Reconciliation Act contains "many of the fundamental defects" that appeared in the House-passed American Health Care Act "and even further compounds them," said the bishop who heads the U.S. bishops' Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development.
The Senate released its health care reform bill in "discussion draft" form June 22.
"As is, the discussion draft stands to cause disturbing damage to the human beings served by the social safety net," Bishop Frank J. Dewane of Venice, Florida, said in a statement released late June 22. "It is precisely the detrimental impact on the poor and vulnerable that makes the Senate draft unacceptable as written."
Bishop Dewane criticized the "per-capita cap" on Medicaid funding, which would no longer be an entitlement but have its own budget line item under the Better Care Reconciliation Act. The effect, he said, "would provide even less to those in need than the House bill. These changes will wreak havoc on low-income families and struggling communities, and must not be supported."
"An acceptable health care system provides access to all, regardless of their means, and at all stages of life," Bishop Dewane said. "Such a health care system must protect conscience rights, as well as extend to immigrant families."

Going to preschool for the first time is exciting as well as a bit frightening! This is often a child's first experience in a group setting away from home. At Rose Marie Academy, we try to make this transition as smooth as possible by providing a warm, inviting environment and fostering close communication between family and school.
Child Center Levels:
- Activity Play Group (APG) – 18 months
- C1 – Age at start – 2 years
- C2 – Age at start – 3 years
- C3 – Age at start – 4 years
- C4 – Age at start – 5 years
Arrival and Free Choice
The day begins with arrival, greeting, and personal sharing with the teacher. Then children have the choice to spend time at different centers in the classroom or engage themselves in the use of various items prepared by the teachers. Having choice time is important because children learn through play.
Circle Time
The day formally begins when the class comes together on the carpet for music, story, alphabet or number exposure, or some topic related to a theme. Large group time is used to discuss plans for the day and reviewing or introducing concepts. This time also includes attendance, jobs, calendar, and sharing.
Work Time (Center Time)
Activities are related to a broad selection of goals and there is always a follow-up to themes or topics presented earlier. Children work in small groups thus enabling the teachers to guide learning activities or engage in direct instruction with individuals as needed.
Snack and Playground Time
Snack time acts as a learning experience of sitting together, having communal conversation, and eating. Sharing and table manners are emphasized as well. Outdoor time develops the children's gross motor as well as their social skills as they learn to play cooperatively with other children.
Quiet Time
This time is set aside to give children the opportunity to finish their work. There is a period for cleaning up and restoring center materials to their proper location.
This time is used to discuss together what children have done that day. It includes presenting children's accomplished project for the day and showing appreciation by praising their individuality and creativity.
As there are specific needs every year, the curriculum is planned around a theme that students have identified as a learning topic or that the teacher has selected based on children's interests. The teacher usually elicits ideas from students about various topics of interests at the start of the school year. Different themes are then incorporated in class using the skills listed in the curriculum. Previous knowledge of different subjects is not a prerequisite as exploration and observations are used as teaching-learning tools. Self-help skills and creativity are encouraged. At this level, children are given opportunities for literacy and numeracy growth.
Some topics/ themes at this level are:
Me and Myself, Families and Responsibility, Animal Families and Interdependence, Weather, and Earth is My Home.
Arrival and Playground Time
Child Center Children working Students are provided with thirty minutes free-play on the playground. Outdoor time develops the children's gross motor as well as their social skills as they learn to play cooperatively with other children. During this time they are supervised by the teacher and teacher assistant.
Circle Time
The day formally begins by coming together on the carpet area for music, stories, alphabet and number exposure, or some topic related to a theme. Large group time is used to discuss plans for the day and reviewing or introducing concepts. This time also includes attendance, classroom duties, calendar and sharing.
Activity Time
The core curriculum subjects include Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students continue discussion about the thematic unit already introduced during Circle time. During this time students are actively engaged in class participation and discussion about the topic.
Snack time acts as a learning experience of sitting together, having communal conversation, and eating. Proper hygiene, sharing, and table manners are emphasized during this time.
Rest/Quiet Time/Story Time
Students are encouraged to look at books individually or, if they prefer, to listen to a story.
Specialist Subjects
These include Music, P.E., Swimming, Thai Culture, Library, and ICT classes. During this time the students will be instructed by subject specialists. Thematic units will be integrated into the specialist classes wherever possible.
Activity Time
This is an extension of the morning activity where the students are involved in hands-on activities to explore further the topic introduced earlier. Students may be separated by ability level and work individually or in small groups. Activities may include worksheets, cut-and-paste materials, matching, sorting, puzzles, manipulatives, and individual or group projects. These activities provide an opportunity for the teacher to guide learning activities and engage in direct instruction.
A Summary of C4 Curriculum

Have you always wanted to do Disney World, but the costs seemed overwhelming? Maybe you've already gone once and want to do it again, but this time you can't be as free with money. Disney World will never be an inexpensive vacation, but there are ways to do it on a budget — and your trip can be one of the best you ever take.
Drive to Disney World
Depending on airfare prices, how far you are from Disney and how many people are in your party, driving there instead of flying may make a lot of financial sense. Having a car instead of flying also gets rid of the need for a rental car, one main obstacle to getting a cheaper hotel room off Disney property.
Pack Your Own Food and Drinks
As long as your food and drinks do not require heating, you can bring them into Disney. Even if you bring only one meal's worth of food, the potential savings are big. For a useful souvenir, purchase a Disney mug that costs about $15, and fill it with water repeatedly to your heart's content.
Time the Trip Strategically
Tickets are cheaper in late summer and in winter, so try to plan your trip around off-peak times. If you possibly can, avoid peak summer hours when tickets cost more and the weather tends to bring many afternoon showers.
Limit Spending Money
You really don't need a lot of spending money in Disney. For instance, if you want photos with Disney cast members, they will take free pictures on your camera. Resist the urge to splurge on lots of pricey T-shirts and souvenirs.
Purchase Third-Party Packages
If you want a package, buy it from an authorized third party instead of from Disney to save up to 20 percent off the official price tag. Scam alert: Be careful not to buy tickets on eBay and Craigslist, or from the advertisements you see on your way to the park.
Look to Gift Cards
Grocery stores such as Kroger offer fuel points that are tied to ordinary purchases, with extra points for gift cards. When you buy one or two Disney gift cards every month in anticipation of your trip, you save on gas while building up your Disney budget.
Weigh Your Hotel Options
When you drive to Disney, you are almost always better off staying at an off-property hotel. If you arrive without a car, though, the cost of a rental might negate much of your savings. Do the math to see if the amount you will save is worth losing some proximity and convenience to Disney.

Benedict Cumberbatch is sporting a new look.
The "Sherlock" (and upcoming "Star Trek: Into Darkness") actor has gone for shockingly blond locks to play WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange.
According to Walt Disney Studios, which released the new image on Wednesday, principal photography has begun on the WikiLeaks drama, "The Fifth Estate."
WATCH: Benedict Cumberbatch: Does He Feel Pressure To Live Up To Fan Expectations For Star Trek Into Darkness?
In addition to Cumberbatch, the film stars Daniel Bruhl, Laura Linney, "Downton Abbey's" Dan Stevens and "Game of Thrones'" red priestess – Carice van Outen.
The drama, "traces the heady, early days of WikiLeaks, culminating in the release of a series of controversial and history changing information leaks," according to the studio.
WATCH: Lara Pulver Dishes On Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch
It follows Daniel Domscheit-Berg (played by Bruhl), an early supporter-turned-colleague of Assange.
The film, which is being helmed by "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" director Bill Condon, will hit theaters on November 15, 2013.
"It may be decades before we understand the full impact of WikiLeaks and how it's revolutionized the spread of information. So this film won't claim any long view authority on its subject, or attempt any final judgment. We want to explore the complexities and challenges of transparency in the information age and, we hope, enliven and enrich the conversations WikiLeaks has already provoked," Condon said in a statement.

text: The Chairman of The City Council Irakli Tcheishvili presented the decision made by Commission to the residents of Gonio and journalists on the briefing. "As you know, the reason of our today's meeting is the problem that has begun from the first years of the country's independence. It is known for everybody that, unlike the rest of Georgia, in Ajara has not been implemented land reform, and then, in the conditions of the National Movement's rule, the land issue has become a theme of political speculations. Land parcels granted to citizens before elections have been confiscated soon, and complicated dead-lock situation has been created, that had inherited our government. Despite of this, the problem was realized and the work, for the purpose of returning to the legal frames, has been started by the Chairman of The Government of Autonomous Republic of Ajara Archil Khabadze, and "Georgian Dream" political team. In this basis, today, The Commission of Property Rights Recognition on The Land Parcels of Batumi Municipality decided to invalidate the protocol decision made by The Commission of Property Rights Recognition on The Land Parcels of Khelvachauri Municipality.Based on the complete analysis of legal details, we declare that according to the decision made by the Land Recognition Commission, issues connected with the property of the part of Gonio population, on which are not spread limits will be discussed individually by the defense of law and in case of demand's satisfaction, their property will be recovered. Briefly, I would like to mention legal issues. Administrative act that was received by the previous government by which to these people was abolished their property, included four basic reasons. After basic analysis it was clearly seen that criteria of abolishing this right on property were not firmed up by the law and represented artificially invented reasons. From this point of view is seen how previous government foresee our citizen's right on property and how they manipulated by private property before elections "."Our government started settling these problems and today's decision reveals everything"- declared Irakli Tcheishvili on today's briefing. 271 families living in Gonio demanded legislation of that plot which was in 2007-2008 years legally given by the Khelvachauri Land Recognition Commission and then by their decision taken away. Land Recognition Commission existing in Batumi Municipality worked on this issue from 2014 year and individually discussed each case if the right on property was legally taken away from the families who owned this plot.

I agree with Fenno it shouldn't be a glorified stick & puck session. At the same time a lot of us are there to learn something, training last Sunday was quite productive & drills help those of us that wish to understand the game better, understand the game better!.
I don't have a problem with hard training but some people; who aren't able to a regular commitment, have taken punishment for reasons they were unaware of or didn't deserve. We all join a rec team to have fun & develop/improve skills or just keep on playing a game we enjoy. Lets enjoy it.
I'd like to add scrimmage can be a good idea because it should be used to improve game play but it does need to be managed.

Starling Trap
Bird traps are an ideal solution for short-term population reduction, and our selection of designs includes traps geared to attract a wide variety of birds as well as unique species-specific designs such as sparrow traps, pigeon traps and starling traps.
Bird Barrier has one of the largest selections of bird traps on the market. All of our traps are made of durable materials made to withstand a range of environmental conditions while providing a humane solution to nearly any pest bird problem. We offer traps that can capture a single bird as well as those designed to trap multiple birds. Many of our traps are designed to allow mounting in a variety of locations including the ground, on walls, on the sides of buildings and even in trees. Some designs are collapsible, allowing them to be easily transported from one location to another, and some can be operated by remote control from as far away as 450 feet.
All of our traps feature the most innovative features and humane designs. Our laser traps feature infrared microprocessor-based electronic sensors to detect birds and activate the trapdoor automatically, and our line of sparrow traps includes a design cleverly mimicking a traditional birdhouse. In addition, many of the traps Bird Barrier offers feature feeders, water bottles and shade to ensure birds that enter the trap remain comfortable until release.
Most bird traps must be baited with food desirable to the type of bird you want to catch. Positioning of the traps is very important and most business owners and homeowners who use traps find their success in catching birds increases over time.

We are using our fives senses to add more detail to these parts by writing about what we see, hear, smell, how we felt etc. We will end our week with a visit from Santa and a fun holiday party! Happy Holidays!
1st grade: Students continue to work really hard on writing an "informational" or a teaching book on many subjects. We are learning how to use features such as; comparisons, descriptive words, examples, arrows and zoom-ins to teach our readers and answer their questions.
Most classes are working on "The Grinch" thematic unit. We will unlock adjectives that describe the Grinch before and after his discovering of the true meaning of Christmas. First graders will discuss the author's purpose for writing The Grinch. We will discuss connections that we have with the story - text to self, text to text and text to world connections.
In math, students will continue to practice telling time to the hour and half hour, clock parts, doubles, and begin measurement. Some classes have made double mints that are hanging from the ceilings!
2nd grade: This is a very busy week in second grade, we have been very busy practicing for our musical. Students will perform for their families on Monday, December 15th at Ross High School!
In reading, students are finding the main topic of an informational text. They are also working hard to sort through important versus interesting information and details. In language and spelling, students are working with possessives. Students are adding 's to words to make them show ownership. In math, students are working with shapes and fractions. In writing, we have started to focus on science lab reports! The second grade team would like to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season!!
3rd grade: During small, Guided Reading groups, students have been working with informational texts at a variety of levels based upon ability and they skills each student needs to work on. Some of the standards covered with informational text include fluency and decoding, asking and answering questions, and using text features.
Reading informational texts during Guided Reading also helps students with their writing this quarter, which is also informational text. We are starting to write our chapters for our informational texts.
In language we are wrapping up irregular verbs and starting to introduce subject verb agreement.
Third graders are continuing their work on multiplication.
In science we are learning about all the forms of energy and how their forms can change.
4th grade:
Math--Students continue to practice using multiplication and division strategies. Students are beginning to study and learn about fractions.
Reading--Students are continuing to focus on moving beyond finding details about a text to thinking about what the text is telling you and what you are thinking about the text. Students will continue to think about their thinking, and to track their thinking.
Social Studies - History continues to be the theme for the quarter. We are reading and learning about the Historic Native Americans; the six historic tribes, their cultures, customs, leaders etc. This leads into the conflicts that come about from European settlers such as the Colonists and French explorers. We can't wait to study the French and Indian War! Some classes are up to the Revolutionary War.
Science - Fourth graders are investigating traces of the past; trace fossils and bone/animal fossils, whole organisms that are preserved with its bones and teeth. Classes are discussing changes in environments that lead to animals becoming endangered or even extinction!
Writing - Students are exploring opinions! They will be creating written pieces on topics or texts supporting a point of view with reasons and information. This week we'll be focusing on choosing a topic of interest (what are we experts about?) and stating the opinion clearly.
Music: First grade students are enjoying the holiday music. We have been working on our new rhythm notes. Students have identified different Christmas words and sorted them between the 2 notes. They even created their own Christmas compositions that they shared with the class. First grade students loved the parachute game we played with the Nutcracker music. You can check out videos of it on the Elda Music website. This week they will be learning a dance to the Jingle Bell song.
Media Center: First grade students have been comparing fiction and nonfiction books and discussing the similarities and differences of these two types of text. First we read Big Wolf & Little Wolf,the Little Leaf That Wouldn't Fall by Nadine Brun-Cosme, as a fiction book about friendship and the seasons. The following week we read My Calendar : Seasons by Luana K. Mitten and compared the texts.
Art: Students in grade one are finishing up on Christmas projects this week. Mrs. Martin's class created 3-D Rudolph reindeers. The reindeer is a mixed media project with students using construction paper and fabric scraps. First graders also created a 3-D torn paper Santa Clause with a candy cane. This week in art first graders will be working at art stations in the art room. The art stations will be: Computers-photo booth program, drawing on the board, water-color painting, and working with clay. Be sure to see the Snowmen sculptures in Elda's lobby and the Christmas projects that decorate Elda's hallways.
Physical Education: We are playing Holiday games this week before winter break. The first game we play is How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This is a team game where each team is trying to 'take' the presents from the other grinch teams to see which grinch team stole the most. One grinch can stay back to protect their presents and tag opposing grinches from stealing their presents. If you get tagged trying to take a present you have to go to the middle of the gym and do 10 push ups to get back in the game. We play a couple of rounds, each round is about 5 minutes long. Our other holiday game is Santa's Reindeer. In this game the elves have divided into 5 teams and they have 3 minutes to ride down on their sled to the 'forest' to gather reindeer food. The teams have two objectives. 1) gather at least 9 items of food (9 reindeer in Santa's sleigh) and 2) try to get more than the other elf teams. The kids love these games because of the Christmas theme and they get great exercise as well.

I'm so happy you dropped by here at my personal finance website. I try to write personal finance stories going through life with 2 girls. I aim to inspire, motivate, and educate while laughing along the way beating debt and building wealth.
Personal finance has been a passion of mine since my wife and I took Financial Peace University back in August 2011. You can read our entire story here. Since then, we've paid off all of our debt other than our home mortgage, totaling over $27,000 over 2 years. We've continued to work the FPU baby steps and now have a fully funded emergency fund as well as are actively investing.
This website aims to inspire you by sharing our net worth reports, motivate you by sharing different stories of people winning with money and educate you with informative personal finance articles that are easy to read and relate to with actionable content that you can put into place right away.
I hope that you will grab a cup of your favorite beverage, mine is coffee flavored with french vanilla creamer, and read and take action on the information that's being shared here! Hopefully, as you learn to get control of your finances as well, you will share your story to help motivate and inspire others as well. We are here to learn from one another and I can't wait to hear your input on any of our posts in the comments section of your favorite posts!
