Disabled Veteran Couple Seeks Grant Money To Help With Daily Struggle
by Jack Willeke
(St Marys, Ohio, USA)
I am a 39-year-old veteran married to my wife Kendra who is 45. She served in the United States Army from 1986-1989, while I served in the United States Navy from 1995-1999.
We have three kids. Two still live with us. Our youngest, Danny, is about to graduate from high school and hopes to go onto college this fall. Our other child, Alyssa, that is living at home, is hoping to go to college this fall too.
In January of 2004 I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy due to a virus attacking my heart. I was then referred to Cleveland Clinic for further evaluation.
In February of 2006 I had to have a heart transplant. Three years later I was diagnosed with rejection because my body is still rejecting my new heart.
With the heart transplant I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety attacks now.
I am able to function with some limits put on me. I cannot carry more than 10 pounds at one time.
My wife is also getting Social Security Disability for chronic pain, depression and panic disorder. Kendra's disability started in August of 2000 due to a surgeon messing up her gall bladder surgery and nicking her bile duct.
This all led to her having lung surgery because bile from her bile duct had leaked to the area around her left lung causing scar tissue. The lung surgery happened in March of 2001.
She then had to have her bile duct reconstructed because her original bile duct was too messed up to function correctly.
She had various procedures before the bile duct reconstruction in hopes of opening the bile duct to where it would function right, but it never worked and that was the reason she needed the surgery for her bile duct.
We are currently having troubles making our rent payments, buying food for our family, paying for school fees for our youngest son, and rarely give our kids any spending money to go do anything.
I am getting my medications through the Veterans Administration and the bill for the medicines that I get can be almost a couple hundreds dollars a month.
We pay for extra insurance through Anthem for both my wife and myself and we get my wife's medicines through a local pharmacy that cost about a hundred dollars a month.
I have to go to Cleveland Clinic every so often for checkups for my heart transplant. We live about 200 miles one away from Cleveland and sometimes have to stay the night before if I have an early appointment.
We both currently receive Social Security Disability. I have been trying to go to school, but sometimes I miss too many days because of the side effects of all the medications I am on and am unable to attend classes.
Then when I miss classes I get too far behind and have to drop out of school for this reason. I am still trying to go to get an associates degree in a medical field.
Right now I am going to start this summer quarter for respiratory care therapy. I will not be able to get into the real program until the Summer of 2012 right now and then it will take me about two years to complete the degree.
We are looking for grants to help us pay for our rent, food, electric and our gas bill. We use gas to cook with and to heat our house when it is cold out.
We are not looking for any kind of business grants in order to start a business. We just need some help with the things I mentioned before.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated and used in with the items that I mentioned before.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

As a Health & Lifestyle Coach, I do things differently. My approach is highly personalized and involves a detailed look at your schedule, stress factors, habits, and strengths. We partner together to uncover your dreams and goals, both in life and in health, because those dreams are the very motivation we'll tap into when times get tough.
Whereas many health and fitness coaches demand drastic changes overnight, I begin with where you are right now and together, we work toward improving — one habit at a time. Not only is this a highly effective way to lose fat and gain lean muscle, it means the lessons you're learning will permanently improve your lifestyle habits. My personalized approach prevents the overwhelmed feeling of paralysis that can happen when people first start learning how to eat better, exercise smarter, and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
As a Health Coach, I received my nutrition certification through the reputable Precision Nutrition (PN). Over the past four years, I have coached women from all over the globe in helping them to discover and achieve their health and fitness goals. For many, losing weight was just the beginning and has ultimately led to them uncovering dreams that were buried so deep, they didn't even know they existed!
Obese women turned fitness instructors.
Unhappy single ladies turned blissful newlyweds.
Frustrated baby-gawkers turned new moms.
What will be your story?
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of nutrition plan do you give clients?
My personalized coaching addresses the unique issues facing each client and offers clear steps they can take to achieve their health and fitness goals. There is no one perfect diet and I always create a customized meal plan tailored to each client's needs and expectations. From vegan to Paleo. From calorie counting to more flexible meal planning. All of it depends on your unique needs.
I specialize in helping clients use food to manage (and even heal) digestive disorders, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative-Colitis, and Crohn's Disease.
What kind of fitness plans do you give clients?
Every client is different so their fitness plan should be, too. Some people do best working out at home and others need the accountability of a group class. Some clients enjoy stretching and walking while others need the heart-thumping intensity of kickboxing. I work with each client to first figure out what type of exercise they enjoy and then coach them in taking it to the next level. I am an accomplished athlete and bring my personal experience in nearly every type of exercise and sport when building customized fitness plans for my clients.
What makes you different than other nutrition coaches?
I teach clients how to adopt new habits that not only support body transformation goals but more importantly, retrain their health and fitness habits for life. Each client receives fully customized nutrition and fitness plans that are tailored just for them and their unique goals. There are no generic plans here!
Why hire a coach instead of using the <xyz> weight loss meal plan?
Fad diets are great if you have a specific event that you want to slim down for and if you are the type of person who can muster up the will power to follow them. But even if all the stars align and you manage some success on such a diet, without addressing the underlying habits that led you to be unhappy in the first place, you will soon bounce back to your old ways (or worse!). Opting for a Nutrition Coach means you're getting face-to-face coaching from someone who really cares about your progress and will keep you on track. Generic plans can often leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsuccessful but my plans are tweaked and suited just for you, your body type, and your unique lifestyle.

Make a decision today to put your quality of life as top priority! I offer one-on-one personal nutrition and lifestyle coaching both in the San Francisco Bay Area and globally via web conferencing.

Ex-Premier League footballer Sam Sodje accused of charity fraud
A former Premier League footballer has appeared in court alongside his three brothers, accused of carrying out a charity fraud.
Ex-Reading and Nigeria defender Sam Sodje denied a charge of fraudulent trading involving the Sodje Sports Foundation when he appeared at the Old Bailey on Monday.
He is jointly charged with his elder brothers; Efe Sodje, also an ex-Nigerian international, Bright Sodje and Stephen Sodje, who also pleaded not guilty to the offence, alleged to have been carried out between 2008 and 2014.
Sam Sodje is also charged with five further counts of money laundering, which he denied. On one of the five, he was jointly charged with Efe and two other men, Emmanuel Ehikhamen and Andrew Oruma.
Ehikhamen, of Belvedere, near Erith in south east London, is also charged with 11 further money laundering offences, and Oruma, of Bexley, south east London, with one further money laundering offence.
They deny all the charges against them, which are alleged to have taken place in November and December 2013.
Sam Sodje, 37, of Dartford, Kent; Efe, 44, of Cheadle, Greater Manchester; Stephen, 42, of Bexley; and Bright, 50, of Sale, Greater Manchester, are due to stand trial in July.
All six men were released on bail.

Having bad credit can cause difficulties when buying a new or used car if you need a loan.
However, most people with a low credit score have options that will allow them to get the car they want.
About your credit history and why it is important
Just to be clear, anyone who has ever had a loan, mortgage, or credit card has a credit history file. That file is a detailed report of every loan or account a person has had. It shows account details, credit amount, current status and balance, and payment history. If there have been late payments, missed payments, repossessions, bankruptcies, or foreclosures, those are also in the file. Negative information in the file can remain there for up to 10 years.
When you apply for an auto loan, the lender (dealer, finance company, bank, or credit union) will check your credit history to determine your credit worthiness — which is a measure of how likely, or unlikely, you are to keep your promise to repay your loan — based on your past performance.
However, car dealers and finance institutions don't take the trouble to read your detailed credit report. Instead, they look at your credit score, which is a numerical rating that summarizes your entire credit history.

WEATHER ALERTS: Watches, warnings, advisories by county
High temperatures will reach the mid-40s. They started above freezing –- even at 32 degrees early Tuesday in Mt. Pocono –- but FOX 29's Sue Serio explained that's the air temperature and the ground, including roads, are still cold from the weekend.

This new model is a big step forward towards even more confident estimates of the huge global burden of more than 6 million deaths – 1 in 9 of total global deaths – from exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollution. More and more cities are monitoring air pollution now, satellite data is more comprehensive, and we are getting better at refining the related health estimates.feedback

Enterprise South Industrial Park
The Enterprise South Industrial Park, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee consists of 3,000 acres (12 km2).[1] A large portion of this property is now home to the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant.
The Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant (VAAP) operated as a TNT (trinitrotoluene) manufacturing facility from 1942 to 1977 and supported a fertilizer production facility from 1962 to 1982. The following provides a detailed history of operations occurring at VAAP from its creation in 1942 to the present.
The Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) built the original facilities to support World War II. Initial operation began in July 1942 with the Hercules Powder Company of Wilmington Delaware as the operating contractor. Sixteen TNT batch process lines and associated nitric and sulfuric acid facilities operated until August 1945. Approximately 823 million pounds of TNT were produced for WWII at VAAP (IT Corp 1994).
From January 1946 to the spring of 1952, VAAP was officially on standby status and operated and maintained by the government (USATHAMA 1978; Army 2003).
VAAP was reactivated in 1952 for the Korean War, and operated by the Atlas Chemical Industries of Wilmington Delaware until 1957. Approximately 283 million lbs of TNT were produced for the Korean War (IT Corp 1994). During this period the first Army studies were undertaken to examine methods of pollution control but VAAP was put on standby status before pollution strategies could be implemented (IT Corp 1994).
VAAP was on standby status from 1957 until 1965 when it was reactivated for the Vietnam War (Army 2003a; IT Corp 1994). Between the Korean and Vietnam Wars there was considerable residential development north of VAAP and adjacent to the Chickamauga Lake (IT Corp 1994). From March 1957 to December 1964 the plant was under the protective surveillance of Atlas Chemical Industries; and in December 1964 until September 1965 protective surveillance was passed onto Farmers Chemical Association Inc. (subsequently known as CF Industries, Incorporated [CFI]). In September 1965 a new contract with Atlas was entered into with the Army (SI 1994). On January 6, 1972, Atlas merged into ICI America Incorporated (ICIA), and is currently called ICI Americas, Inc. (Army 2003a; USATHAMA 1978).
In 1961, the government leased the "CFI Lease Area," an area along the western border of VAAP, to CFI (Bonds 1985). Previously the area had been used for nitric and sulfuric acid production (Army 2003a). In 1962, CFI used the existing acid facilities and built an ammonia plant on the 824-acre lease area to produce ammonium nitrate fertilizer, urea, and related products (Army 2003a). In 1963 a urea plant was put into operation, thereby doubling CFI's production capacity (IT Corp 1994).
In 1965, VAAP was reactivated and ten TNT batch process lines were used to produce TNT for the Vietnam War (IT Corp 1994).
Additionally, upon reactivation, the Army decreased the number of acres in the original CFI lease area and took over the operation of some of the acid production equipment to increase nitric acid production and sulfuric acid concentration capacity. Therefore, in 1966, CFI constructed a new acid plant adjacent to the ammonia plant, and operated the existing acid plant in the lease area for the Army (Bonds 1985; Army 2003a).
In February 1969, as VAAP began to upgrade facilities, the batch processing lines began to decrease (Report 123, 1978; Army 2003a). From July 1971 to 1975, six new CIL continuous process lines were built in an area where four old batch process lines were previously razed (Army 2003a). Lines 1, 2, and 3 were modernized by May 1974, and a contract for modernizing Lines 4, 5, and 6 was awarded in June 1974. However, from November 1974 to March 1977, only one of the six Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) lines was operated because plant operations ceased before the other five became operational (IT Corp 1994; USATHAMA 1978).
In June 1970, the Army began to build the New Acid Area. The area included a Direct Strong Nitric (DSN) Acid Facility, an Ammonia Oxidation Process (AOP) Nitric Acid Facility, and Sulfuric Acid Regeneration (SAR) Facilities (used for oleum production) (IT Corp 1994; USATHAMA 1978). In 1972, a carbon dioxide plant was constructed at the CFI Lease Area and an industrial waste water system was built to treat and recycle ammonium nitrate wastewater (IT Corp 1994; USATHAMA 1978).
By January 1975, all batch process lines stopped and, in 1977, TNT production at VAAP ceased altogether and the plant was placed on inactive status (Army 2003a). A total of 1,765 million lbs of TNT were produced for the Vietnam War (IT Corp 1994).
CFI produced commercial ammonium nitrate at the CFI Lease Area until 1982. From 1982 to 1985 the CFI Lease Area was inactive, and the CFI facilities were ultimately dismantled for salvage between 1985 and 1986 (IT Corp 1994). The Army acid facilities in the southern area were dismantled during the 1950s and 1960s. The northern acid facilities were dismantled by approximately 1997 (Army 2003a, IT Corp 1995, Public Comment 2004b).
During the 1990s, VAAP operated the burning ground to treat materials contaminated with TNT or TNT waste materials generated while VAAP was operational (EPA 2003a; IT Corp 1994, Public Comment 2004b)
On September 5, 1995, approximately $5 million was awarded to ICIA to reactivate and modify one of the TNT lines at VAAP for production of commercial TNT. The contract was awarded under the Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support Act of 1992, and the work was to be complete by July 31, 1996 (DOD 1995). This work was never completed and the ICIA contract expired on December 31, 1998. Tecumseh Professional Associates became the new contracting operator, however, the project remained and remains inactive.[2]
Conversion to Civilian Uses[edit]
In the 1990s, portions of the site began to be opened up to civilian purposes. Hickory Valley Road was opened through the plant, connecting Highway 58 with Bonny Oaks Drive. The Hamilton County Schools executed a lease on the old administration buildings at VAAP, renovating the facilities for their central office.
An additional 2,800 acres (11 km2) of land on the east side of the industrial park was opened to the public as the Enterprise South Nature Park.[3] The park opened to the public in December 2010.[4] The park is for passive uses, including bicycling and walking. Hours of operation are from 7:00am to the posted times which change throughout the year.
First time visitors to the park are encouraged to speak to onsite rangers or visitor center staff before exploring the park.
On October 14, 2010 it was announced that CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway would again serve the site following the completion of a $6.6 million project to provide dual rail service to the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant.[5] The newly completed yard was dedicated on April 6, 2011. Work included "the biggest rail overhaul in and around the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant since the tracks were laid during World War II."[6] Direct switching activities for the site is handled by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum's wholly owned subsidiary Tyner Terminal Railway Company,[7] which transfers railcars to NS and CSX trains.

Shakespeare's day
Romeo and Juliet ranks with Hamlet as one of Shakespeare's most performed plays.[93] Its many adaptations have made it one of his most enduring and famous stories.[93] Even in Shakespeare's lifetime it was extremely popular. Scholar Gary Taylor measures it as the sixth most popular of Shakespeare's plays, in the period after the death of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd but before the ascendancy of Ben Jonson during which Shakespeare was London's dominant playwright.[94] The date of the first performance is unknown. The First Quarto, printed in 1597, says that "it hath been often (and with great applause) plaid publiquely", setting the first performance before that date. The Lord Chamberlain's Men were certainly the first to perform it. Besides their strong connections with Shakespeare, the Second Quarto actually names one of its actors, Will Kemp, instead of Peter in a line in Act five. Richard Burbage was probably the first Romeo, being the company's actor, and Master Robert Goffe (a boy) the first Juliet.[92] The premiere is likely to have been at "The Theatre", with other early productions at "The Curtain".[95] Romeo and Juliet is one of the first Shakespearean plays to have been performed outside England: a shortened and simplified version was performed in Nördlingen in 1604.[96]
Restoration and 18th-century theatre
All theatres were closed down by the puritan government on September 6, 1642. Upon the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, two patent companies (the King's Company and the Duke's Company) were established, and the existing theatrical repertoire divided between them.[97]
Sir William Davenant of the Duke's Company staged a 1662 adaptation in which Henry Harris played Romeo, Thomas Betterton Mercutio, and Betterton's wife Mary Saunderson Juliet: she was probably the first woman to play the role professionally.[98][99] Another version closely followed Davenant's adaptation and was also regularly performed by the Duke's Company. This was a tragicomedy by James Howard, in which the two lovers survive.[100]
Thomas Otway's The History and Fall of Caius Marius, one of the more extreme of the Restoration adaptations of Shakespeare, debuted in 1680. The scene is shifted from Renaissance Verona to ancient Rome; Romeo is Marius, Juliet is Lavinia, the feud is between patricians and plebeians; Juliet/Lavinia wakes from her potion before Romeo/Marius dies. Otway's version was a hit, and was acted for the next seventy years.[99] His innovation in the closing scene was even more enduring, and was used in adaptations throughout the next 200 years: Theophilus Cibber's adaptation of 1744, and David Garrick's of 1748 both used variations on it.[101] These versions also eliminated elements deemed inappropriate at the time. For example, Garrick's version transferred all language describing Rosaline to Juliet, to heighten the idea of faithfulness and downplay the love-at-first-sight theme.[102] In 1750 a "Battle of the Romeos" began, with Spranger Barry and Susannah Maria Arne (Mrs. Theophilus Cibber) at Covent Garden versus David Garrick and George Anne Bellamy at Drury Lane.[103]
The earliest known production in North America was an amateur one: on 23 March 1730, a physician named Joachimus Bertrand placed an advertisement in the Gazette newspaper in New York, promoting a production in which he would play the apothecary.[104] The first professional performances of the play in North America were those of the Hallam Company.[105]

Garrick's altered version of the play was very popular, and ran for nearly a century.[99] Not until 1845 did Shakespeare's original return to the stage in the United States with the sisters Susan and Charlotte Cushman as Juliet and Romeo, respectively,[106] and then in 1847 in Britain with Samuel Phelps at Sadler's Wells Theatre.[107] Cushman adhered to Shakespeare's version, beginning a string of eighty-four performances. Her portrayal of Romeo was considered genius by many. The Times wrote: "For a long time Romeo has been a convention. Miss Cushman's Romeo is a creative, a living, breathing, animated, ardent human being."[108] Queen Victoria wrote in her journal that "no-one would ever have imagined she was a woman".[109] Cushman's success broke the Garrick tradition and paved the way for later performances to return to the original storyline.[99]
Professional performances of Shakespeare in the mid-19th century had two particular features: firstly, they were generally star vehicles, with supporting roles cut or marginalised to give greater prominence to the central characters. Secondly, they were "pictorial", placing the action on spectacular and elaborate sets (requiring lengthy pauses for scene changes) and with the frequent use of tableaux.[110] Henry Irving's 1882 production at the Lyceum Theatre (with himself as Romeo and Ellen Terry as Juliet) is considered an archetype of the pictorial style.[111] In 1895, Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson took over from Irving, and laid the groundwork for a more natural portrayal of Shakespeare that remains popular today. Forbes-Robertson avoided the showiness of Irving and instead portrayed a down-to-earth Romeo, expressing the poetic dialogue as realistic prose and avoiding melodramatic flourish.[112]
American actors began to rival their British counterparts. Edwin Booth (brother to John Wilkes Booth) and Mary McVicker (soon to be Edwin's wife) opened as Romeo and Juliet at the sumptuous Booth's Theatre (with its European-style stage machinery, and an air conditioning system unique in New York) on 3 February 1869. Some reports said it was one of the most elaborate productions of Romeo and Juliet ever seen in America; it was certainly the most popular, running for over six weeks and earning over $60,000[113] (equal to about $1,063,000 today).[114] The programme noted that: "The tragedy will be produced in strict accordance with historical propriety, in every respect, following closely the text of Shakespeare."[115]
The first professional performance of the play in Japan may have been George Crichton Miln's company's production, which toured to Yokohama in 1890.[116] Throughout the 19th century, Romeo and Juliet had been Shakespeare's most popular play, measured by the number of professional performances. In the 20th century it would become the second most popular, behind Hamlet.[117]
20th-century theatre
In 1933, the play was revived by actress Katharine Cornell and her director husband Guthrie McClintic and was taken on a seven-month nationwide tour throughout the United States. It starred Orson Welles, Brian Aherne and Basil Rathbone. The production was a modest success, and so upon the return to New York, Cornell and McClintic revised it and for the first time, the play was presented with almost all the scenes intact, including the Prologue. The new production opened in December 1934 with Ralph Richardson as Mercutio and Maurice Evans as Romeo. Critics wrote that Cornell was "the finest Juliet of her time," "endlessly haunting," and "the most lovely and enchanting Juliet our present-day theatre has seen."[118]
John Gielgud's New Theatre production in 1935 featured Gielgud and Laurence Olivier as Romeo and Mercutio, exchanging roles six weeks into the run, with Peggy Ashcroft as Juliet.[119] Gielgud used a scholarly combination of Q1 and Q2 texts, and organised the set and costumes to match as closely as possible to the Elizabethan period. His efforts were a huge success at the box office, and set the stage for increased historical realism in later productions.[120] Olivier later compared his performance and Gielgud's: "John, all spiritual, all spirituality, all beauty, all abstract things; and myself as all earth, blood, humanity ... I've always felt that John missed the lower half and that made me go for the other ... But whatever it was, when I was playing Romeo I was carrying a torch, I was trying to sell realism in Shakespeare."[121]
Peter Brook's 1947 version was the beginning of a different style of Romeo and Juliet performances. Brook was less concerned with realism, and more concerned with translating the play into a form that could communicate with the modern world. He argued, "A production is only correct at the moment of its correctness, and only good at the moment of its success."[122] Brook excluded the final reconciliation of the families from his performance text.[123]
Throughout the century, audiences, influenced by the cinema, became less willing to accept actors distinctly older than the teenage characters they were playing.[124] A significant example of more youthful casting was in Franco Zeffirelli's Old Vic production in 1960, with John Stride and Judi Dench, which would serve as the basis for his 1968 film.[123] Zeffirelli borrowed from Brook's ideas, altogether removing around a third of the play's text to make it more accessible. In an interview with The Times, he stated that the play's "twin themes of love and the total breakdown of understanding between two generations" had contemporary relevance.[125]
Recent performances often set the play in the contemporary world. For example, in 1986 the Royal Shakespeare Company set the play in modern Verona. Switchblades replaced swords, feasts and balls became drug-laden rock parties, and Romeo committed suicide by hypodermic needle.[126] In 1997, the Folger Shakespeare Theatre produced a version set in a typical suburban world. Romeo sneaks into the Capulet barbecue to meet Juliet, and Juliet discovers Tybalt's death while in class at school.[127]
The play is sometimes given a historical setting, enabling audiences to reflect on the underlying conflicts. For example, adaptations have been set in the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,[128] in the apartheid era in South Africa,[129] and in the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt.[130] Similarly, Peter Ustinov's 1956 comic adaptation, Romanoff and Juliet, is set in a fictional mid-European country in the depths of the Cold War.[131] A mock-Victorian revisionist version of Romeo and Juliet 's final scene (with a happy ending, Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio and Paris restored to life, and Benvolio revealing that he is Paris's love, Benvolia, in disguise) forms part of the 1980 stage-play The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.[132] Shakespeare's R&J, by Joe Calarco, spins the classic in a modern tale of gay teenage awakening.[133] A recent comedic musical adaptation was The Second City's The Second City's Romeo and Juliet Musical: The People vs. Friar Laurence, the Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet, set in modern times.[134]
In the 19th and 20th century, Romeo and Juliet has often been the choice of Shakespeare plays to open a classical theatre company, beginning with Edwin Booth's inaugural production of that play in his theatre in 1869, the newly reformed company of the Old Vic in 1929 with John Gielgud, Martita Hunt and Margaret Webster,[135] as well as the Riverside Shakespeare Company in its founding production in New York City in 1977, which used the 1968 film of Franco Zeffirelli's production as its inspiration.[136]
In 2013, Romeo and Juliet ran on Broadway at Richard Rodgers Theatre from September 19 to December 8 for 93 regular performances after 27 previews starting on August 24 with Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad in the starring roles.[137]
The best-known ballet version is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.[138] Originally commissioned by the Kirov Ballet, it was rejected by them when Prokofiev attempted a happy ending, and was rejected again for the experimental nature of its music. It has subsequently attained an "immense" reputation, and has been choreographed by John Cranko (1962) and Kenneth MacMillan (1965) among others.[139]
In 1977, Michael Smuin's production of one of the play's most dramatic and impassioned dance interpretations was debuted in its entirety by San Francisco Ballet. This production was the first full-length ballet to be broadcast by the PBS series "Great Performances: Dance in America"; it aired in 1978.[140]
"Romeo loved Juliet Juliet, she felt the same When he put his arms around her He said Julie, baby, you're my flame Thou givest fever..."—Peggy Lee's rendition of "Fever".[141]
At least 27 operas have been based on Romeo and Juliet.[142] The earliest, Romeo und Julie in 1776, a Singspiel by Georg Benda, omits much of the action of the play and most of its characters, and has a happy ending. It is occasionally revived. The best-known is Gounod's 1867 Roméo et Juliette (libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré), a critical triumph when first performed and frequently revived today.[143] Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi is also revived from time to time, but has sometimes been judged unfavourably because of its perceived liberties with Shakespeare; however, Bellini and his librettist, Felice Romani, worked from Italian sources—principally Romani's libretto for an opera by Nicola Vaccai—rather than directly adapting Shakespeare's play.[144] Among later operas there is Heinrich Sutermeister's 1940 work Romeo und Julia.
Roméo et Juliette by Berlioz is a "symphonie dramatique", a large-scale work in three parts for mixed voices, chorus and orchestra, which premiered in 1839.[145] Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture (1869, revised 1870 and 1880) is a 15-minute symphonic poem, containing the famous melody known as the "love theme".[146] Tchaikovsky's device of repeating the same musical theme at the ball, in the balcony scene, in Juliet's bedroom and in the tomb[147] has been used by subsequent directors: for example Nino Rota's love theme is used in a similar way in the 1968 film of the play, as is Des'ree's Kissing You in the 1996 film.[148] Other classical composers influenced by the play include Henry Hugh Pearson (Romeo and Juliet, overture for orchestra, Op. 86), Svendsen (Romeo og Julie, 1876), Delius (A Village Romeo and Juliet, 1899–1901), Stenhammar (Romeo och Julia, 1922), and Kabalevsky (Incidental Music to Romeo and Juliet, Op. 56, 1956).[149]
The play influenced several jazz works, including Peggy Lee's "Fever".[150] Duke Ellington's Such Sweet Thunder contains a piece entitled "The Star-Crossed Lovers"[151] in which the pair are represented by tenor and alto saxophones: critics noted that Juliet's sax dominates the piece, rather than offering an image of equality.[152] The play has frequently influenced popular music, including works by The Supremes, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Lou Reed,[153] and Taylor Swift.[154] The most famous such track is Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet".[155]
The most famous musical theatre adaptation is West Side Story with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It débuted on Broadway in 1957 and in the West End in 1958, and became a popular film in 1961. This version updated the setting to mid-20th-century New York City, and the warring families to ethnic gangs.[156] Other musical adaptations include Terrence Mann's 1999 rock musical William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, co-written with Jerome Korman,[157] Gérard Presgurvic's 2001 Roméo et Juliette, de la Haine à l'Amour and Riccardo Cocciante's 2007 Giulietta & Romeo.[158]
Literature and art
Romeo and Juliet had a profound influence on subsequent literature. Before then, romance had not even been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy.[159] In Harold Bloom's words, Shakespeare "invented the formula that the sexual becomes the erotic when crossed by the shadow of death."[160] Of Shakespeare's works, Romeo and Juliet has generated the most—and the most varied—adaptations, including prose and verse narratives, drama, opera, orchestral and choral music, ballet, film, television and painting.[161] The word "Romeo" has even become synonymous with "male lover" in English.[162]
Romeo and Juliet was parodied in Shakespeare's own lifetime: Henry Porter's Two Angry Women of Abingdon (1598) and Thomas Dekker's Blurt, Master Constable (1607) both contain balcony scenes in which a virginal heroine engages in bawdy wordplay.[163] The play directly influenced later literary works. For example the preparations for a performance form a major plot arc in Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby.[164]
Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most-illustrated works.[165] The first known illustration was a woodcut of the tomb scene,[166] thought to be by Elisha Kirkall, which appeared in Nicholas Rowe's 1709 edition of Shakespeare's plays.[167] Five paintings of the play were commissioned for the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery in the late 18th century, one representing each of the five acts of the play.[168] The 19th century fashion for "pictorial" performances led to directors drawing on paintings for their inspiration, which in turn influenced painters to depict actors and scenes from the theatre.[169] In the 20th century, the play's most iconic visual images have derived from its popular film versions.[170]
In 2014, Simon & Schuster will publish Juliet's Nurse, a novel by historian and former college professor Lois M. Leveen imagining the fourteen years leading up to the events in the play from the point of view of the nurse. The nurse has the third largest number of lines in the original play; only the eponymous characters have more lines.[171]
Romeo and Juliet may be the most-filmed play of all time.[172] The most notable theatrical releases were George Cukor's multi-Oscar-nominated 1936 production, Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version, and Baz Luhrmann's 1996 MTV-inspired Romeo + Juliet. The latter two were both, in their time, the highest-grossing Shakespeare film ever.[173] Romeo and Juliet was first filmed in the silent era, by Georges Méliès, although his film is now lost.[172] The play was first heard on film in The Hollywood Revue of 1929, in which John Gilbert recited the balcony scene opposite Norma Shearer.[174]
Shearer and Leslie Howard, with a combined age over 75, played the teenage lovers in George Cukor's MGM 1936 film version. Neither critics nor the public responded enthusiastically. Cinemagoers considered the film too "arty", staying away as they had from Warner's A Midsummer Night Dream a year before: leading to Hollywood abandoning the Bard for over a decade.[175] Renato Castellani won the Grand Prix at the Venice Film Festival for his 1954 film of Romeo and Juliet.[176] his Romeo, Laurence Harvey, was already an experienced screen actor.[177] By contrast, Susan Shentall, as Juliet, was a secretarial student who was discovered by the director in a London pub, and was cast for her "pale sweet skin and honey-blonde hair".[178]
Stephen Orgel describes Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo and Juliet as being "full of beautiful young people, and the camera, and the lush technicolour, make the most of their sexual energy and good looks."[179] Zeffirelli's teenage leads, Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey, had virtually no previous acting experience, but performed capably and with great maturity.[180] Zeffirelli has been particularly praised,[181] for his presentation of the duel scene as bravado getting out-of-control.[182] The film courted controversy by including a nude wedding-night scene[183] while Olivia Hussey was only fifteen.[184]
Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet and its accompanying soundtrack successfully targeted the "MTV Generation": a young audience of similar age to the story's characters.[185] Far darker than Zeffirelli's version, the film is set in the "crass, violent and superficial society" of Verona Beach and Sycamore Grove.[186] Leonardo DiCaprio was Romeo and Claire Danes was Juliet.
The play has been widely adapted for TV and film. In 1960, Peter Ustinov's cold-war stage parody, Romanoff and Juliet was filmed.[131] The 1961 film of West Side Story—set among New York gangs–featured the Jets as white youths, equivalent to Shakespeare's Montagues, while the Sharks, equivalent to the Capulets, are Puerto Rican.[187] The 1994 film The Punk uses both the rough plot outline of Romeo and Juliet and names many of the characters in ways that reflect the characters in the play. In 2006, Disney's High School Musical made use of Romeo and Juliet 's plot, placing the two young lovers in rival high school cliques instead of feuding families.[188] Film-makers have frequently featured characters performing scenes from Romeo and Juliet.[189] The conceit of dramatising Shakespeare writing Romeo and Juliet has been used several times,[190] including John Madden's 1998 Shakespeare in Love, in which Shakespeare writes the play against the backdrop of his own doomed love affair.[191] An anime series produced by Gonzo and SKY Perfect Well Think, called Romeo x Juliet, was made in 2007 and the 2013 version is the latest English-language film based on the play. In 2013, Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed the Bollywood film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, a contemporary version of the play which starred Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone in leading roles. The film was a commercial and critical success.[192][193][194] In February 2014, BroadwayHD released a filmed version of the 2013 Broadway Revival of Romeo and Juliet. The production starred Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad.[195] The film was released internationally in April 2014.[196]
Modern social media and virtual world productions
In April and May 2010 the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Mudlark Production Company presented a version of the play, entitled Such Tweet Sorrow, as an improvised, real-time series of tweets on Twitter. The production used RSC actors who engaged with the audience as well each other, performing not from a traditional script but a "Grid" developed by the Mudlark production team and writers Tim Wright and Bethan Marlow. The performers also make use of other media sites such as YouTube for pictures and video.[197]

This is a short essay based on Jeremy Paxman's Empire. I wrote it for a senior history class. Hope any Anglophiles enjoy!
The existence of Jeremy Paxman's bestseller, Empire, is a testament to the fact that the enigmatic British Empire occupies a unique location in the popular consciousness. This preoccupation may, in part, be explained by the fact that the British Empire was a momentary construction when placed in contrast with the historical record. The Empire reached its territorial height only after the end of the Great War and the concessions of Paris 1919;[1] the empire rapidly declined thereafter and was virtually gone after the 1960's.[2] This begs the questions: why was this Empire so fleeting and what brought it down? A plausible argument is that the Empire sowed the seeds of its own destruction by abiding by its own contradictions and failing to reconcile the increasing privileges of the British citizenry and the moralizing mission of empire to the necessities of imperialist governance and territorial acquisition.
This gradual shift from commercial imperialism derived from a Lockean framework[3] to paternalistic facilitator of independence[4] was evident in the American War of Independence, the Abolition of the Slave Trade, the Religious renaissance of the mid 19th century, and the Gradual Emancipation of the 'White Dominions' and Ireland.
The Thirteen American Colonies were the most successful early effort by the British to establish a colony, formed not upon a landowning aristocracy, but rather a large-scale settlement composed of a broad cross section of society.[5] The settlement at Jamestown, founded in 1607, originally served as a dumping ground for undesirable citizens,[6] but over time became the progenitor of a society that was composed of a multitude of landholders.[7] Worse yet, these same settlers became the dominant civilization in North America just as the Enlightenment began to spread across the English-speaking world. Not only did Locke and Hobbes influence the settlers, but also, by the close of the 18th century, the increasingly diverse and liberal ideas of Thomas Paine and the continental philosophes took root in the minds of the colonists.[8] It was only a small step from these ideas to a widespread critique of the inequitable spread of privileges established by the 1688 Revolution.
Unconsciously, the American Revolution lay the scaffolding for further critique of British imperialism because it was prefaced on the notion that the American colonists, paranoid or not, were only demanding the recognition of their rights as free-born Englishmen. The fact that British imperialism would change its moral foundation would only further undermine the notion of a valid imperialism in overseas territories.[9]
It may have been in response to the antipathy for the American colonist or it may have been an expression of British beneficence, but certainly the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire in 1807, further placed into question the validity of the imperial project.[10] This is because the citizens of the empire began to embrace a new form of 'exceptionalism', seeing themselves as agents of freedom and moral actors, instead of simply the engines of exploitation in extraneous lands.[11]
The importance of resurgent British evangelism cannot be overstated. This evangelical fervour brought waves of missionaries to the territories of the Empire; it thus placed stable relationships of mutual trust and appreciation into question as the prior secular commercial order was subsumed into the greater religious bureaucratic state engineered in part by the missionaries and in part by technology, which was made necessary by the 1857 Indian Mutiny.[12] The belief in pre-eminence had not characterised initial relationships between the British charter companies and their partners, but the new missions did construct such an association.[13] This not only strained the cooperative relationship, but also made it increasingly difficult to justify any form of violence or diminution of the peoples who occupied foreign lands.
However, this complex and often contradictory order, was maintainable so long as the British had the capacity to exercise military force for the maintenance of their overseas possessions; the Amritsar Massacre, the War in Sudan, the extirpation of aboriginal peoples, and the seizure of the South African gold fields, are all examples of the late seizure and reprisal of territory for geo-strategic purposes in opposition to the professed moral order: an order prefaced by paternal guidance in the form of a civilizing mission.[14]
After World War I this British hegemony was placed into doubt; even amongst its own Empire the patriarch looked unstable. Lloyd George appeased the Dominion's by permitting greater consultation with the dominions of South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Newfoundland as a compensatory measure for the devastating losses incurred by dominion forces during the war.[15] However, for Paxman, the critical blow to British power came with the capitulation of the British in Ireland; if Britain would give independence to the very heart of the Empire, the first colony, then what capacity did it have to forcibly maintain its considerably more distant and less culturally analogous territories?[16]
Tacit acceptance of the British Empire's weakness came with Winston Churchill's signing of the Atlantic Charter.[17] The fact that the British were complicit in the abrogation of their Empire meant that any questions of independence did not become a matter of if, but rather when. British inability to resist independence movements throughout the empire was evidential in the various colonial wars, particularly the bloody campaign against the Mau Mau rebels in Kenya resulting in independence for the African nation shortly after.[18]
The moral sanction exercised by the British people no longer had any currency, even amongst their own population.[19] Nevertheless, it was the rising, anti-imperialist superpowers of the Soviet Union and United States who would coerce the British into surrender in 1956.[20] This surrender, however, was already an existential occupation of British minds. The British Empire had been replaced by a greater Power, capable of exercising the trust Britain had held for itself, precisely because they had no 'global empire' of their own; reconciliation only came for the British Empire with its dutiful and solemn evacuation of its realm.

An emulator is a program which serves to replicate the functions of another platform or system so as to allow applications and games to be run in environments they were not programmed for. While emulators themselves are not games in a strict sense, they provide users with the ability to play games and therefore have been included in this article.
- Gens2 — emulator of Sega Genesis, Sega CD and 32X; written in assembly language, no longer actively developed.
- activate OpenGL, set video resolution per custom to 1024x600 for streched full-screen or 800x600 for non-streched;

Picture: U2 - The 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards - Weinstein Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel - Los Angeles, California, United States - Monday...
U2 star Adam Clayton is a single man again after splitting up with his fiancee SUZANNE SMITH, according to Irish reports.
The U2 bass player, who was once engaged to supermodel Naomi Campbell, ended his eight-year romance with Canadian Smith last month (FEB07), almost a year after the couple became engaged on St Valentine's Day, 2006.
But the couple kept the split private until recently.
Friends claim the couple separated "amicably" and hope to remain friends.
Smith, a London-based record company executive, met Clayton when she worked as an assistant to U2 manager PAUL MCGUINESS.

So it has been a while since my last blog post. I have had a lot going on between moving my blog to a brand new website, and I started homeschooling my three boys.
It was a little hectic adding homeschool
It has been quite hectic around here. On top of all of my usual duties to add those two huge load bearing items to my to do list was a little crazy! I probably could have tried to write a new post, but I do not think that it would have had much quality to it. I really was very focused on the tasks at hand. I wanted my new website to be very similar to how I had the first site set up, and doing that was very challenging. I hope you like it! 😉
Also, homeschooling is very important and I wanted to put forth my best effort to get it started off on a good foot. I plan to use mostly free material, I want to share some of my favorite things that I have found so far. I am sure most people who homeschool have done it way longer than I have but it seems to me you can never get enough free resources!
A lot of my favorite things will require your child to have access to the internet. There will be a few printables, but I don't do many of these maybe a couple times a week. Ink prices are terrible! We sometimes just jot our answers down on a sheet of paper instead of printing out a worksheet if possible. The kids are very used to working on worksheets and they seems to really like them. It may just be what they are used to doing. Okay to get started, I want to share a really great homeschool curriculum that is totally free!
Free homeschool resources…
Easy Peasy All in One Homeschool
It says that you can use this without supplementing with anything else. From learning to read all the way through to high school. I do love it but I also use other things. Some of my kids need to revisit core reading comprehension skills and I have sought out free material for building those skills up. I also, do things like study up on why leaves change color in the fall. It is fitting because it is fall time right now.
This is a place I use to go over our reading comprehension skills.
Garden of Praise is really awesome
I like to use the bible pages. These are stories I like for the kids to read. At the bottom of each page there are games, word searches, scrambles, and a test that all tie into the story! I think this is really great for vocabulary, and reading comprehension! Extra plus, they learn about the bible! They have much more to offer than these stories though be sure to search the whole website!
Sight words Worksheets – these are really awesome complete with printable flash cards, handwriting practice, coloring pages, matching, and instructions!
Xtramath – is great for memorizing math facts! You can set up multiple students, for free. A lot of site have it set where the first child is free, but then you have to pay if you have more than one child. Do they not understand that the more children you have the less money you have?!?!
Donna Young's site is awesome
It might seem funny but I found the cursive animations and Cursive worksheets amazing! The school system stopped teaching children cursive! What! I know, I know! When the boys were still in school, one of their teachers wrote directions on homework in cursive. Haha, yeah I did not think it was funny…
Donna Young's site seems to have lots of cools stuff going on but I found it just recently, so I encourage to look at the rest of it also!
Check out this 50 free fall printables!
Also, learn about why the leaves change color!
Updates, more resources can be found at Homeschool 102
More updates on our homeschool journey. We are about halfway through our journey in homeschool 102, and I shared a list of how we are happier now that we are homeschooling! It is a great post and of course it includes more free resources. I am working on homeschool 103, so look for that soon! Update: There a many more homeschooling post with loads of free resources, just check the related posts at the bottom of this page.
I know there is something I am forgetting, but I can always add it in later on. I will try to do more posts as I gain more experience and time homeschooling!
Do you have a favorite free resource for homeschooling items that you would like to share? I would love to add to what I have already!
Let Me Know What You Think

I would love to know what you think, Please leave me a comment or a question below… Thank you for visiting. 🙂

Neil Young to release new solo album 'Earth'
Rock legend Neil Young will release his 37th solo album Earth on the 17th June 2016.

The album is a tribute from Neil Young to the earth and its creatures. Tracks on Earth feature nature-inspired sounds, including birds, crickets, bees, as well as city noises, such as car horns. Young describes the album as follows: "Earth flows as a collection of 13 songs from throughout my life, songs I have written about living here on our planet together."

When Safeway unveiled its agreement in March to be acquired by Cerberus Capital Management — the parent of the Albertsons chain and other banners — the companies said there were no planned store closures as a result of the deal.
Almost certainly, however, there will be divestitures forced upon the companies by federal and perhaps local antitrust authorities.
The chains' overlap is significant in some markets, especially Southern California, the Pacific Northwest and Dallas

This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Final Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Bard with this build
|Can be poked down very easily and very easy to keep under control for the first 6 levels. You just need to keep your distance against him and dont spam your Q into his shield.
|Low range and no escapes, great source of income as you keep killing his face in lane. If you dont somehow manage to do that then you are screwed lategame.
|Easy to poke down, next to no threat when played right on your end. Careful of level 2-3 all in basically.
Hi I'm FeldherrFrodo aka Captain Bard and im a hard Bard and Thresh Main. I got 150K on booth but Thresh got boring after a short time. When Bard came out I just loved him and it's still the same. My main Account stucks atm in Platin 4 but I'll change it next season. I got 'only' 150K on Bard (and Thresh) because got 5 Account round Gold 5 atm and i smurf also from bronze to Gold 1. I got in my opinion every good Mechanic with Bard and get away out of difficult situations perfectly. I'm btw atm the 300th best Bard world and 2000th best Thresh World. I wanna create a Bard only Account with the name 'Wanderer Brad' and will see where i can get on this account.
Now a few general information to Bard.
Bard is a utility and CC focused support who has a reasonably high skill ceiling. Bard has one of, if not the best, kits for utility and there are almost endless possibilities on what you can do with this kit. He can be played in so many ways while still being very effective. I feel like a lot of people who have started playing Bard or thought about it have a hard time understanding how he works or how he should be played. This is the people this guide is made for.
His rather weak laning is compensated by his awesome pick potential, great mobility and roaming ability and excellent teamfighting. In lategame teamfights he can do so many things compared to most supports who focus on one thing like healing, peeling or engaging. Bard can engage, he can disengage, he can peel, he can chase, he can do good damage (for a support) and to some extent he can sustain. A good Bard player can completely decide the flow of a teamfight and can single-handedly win you fights with well placed Cosmic Bindings or Tempered Fates. This however works both ways as a bad Bard player can cost you teamfights by either using Tempered Fate in a such a position that it prevents enemies from taking damage or dying or even worse kills your teammate by leaving them in a bad position. With this guide I hope you too will become the good kinds of Bard.
Pros / Cons
Extremely strong teamfigting
Great mobility for roaming and warding
Very good damage for a support
Super versatile as a champion
Super fun to play
Can make camping bot lane as easy as it can be with E
He looks so goofy its impossible to tilt while playing him
Relatively weak in laning phase
Extremely skillshot reliant
His E bugs out rather often and is sometimes hard to click
Difficult for newer players to wrap their heads around
Short range on Q and autoattacks
Can accidentally tilt your ADC by roaming too much
Very low base manaregen and high mana costs compared to other supports
Ult is very easy to mess up as a new players

Employability Chartermark
The simple but ambitious task of the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership is to foster the growth of the economy and in particular jobs. One of the LEP's explicit objectives is to deliver "a well- motivated workforce with the skills to meet business need".
The Employability Chartermark was launched by Colin Skellett, Chair of West of England LEP, at the 'Building Bridges: Work into Schools' conference 2 October 2012, which was attended by over 100 businesses.
The simple but ambitious task of the West of England LEP is to foster the growth of the economy and in particular jobs. One of the LEP's explicit objectives is to deliver a well-motivated workforce with the skills to meet business needs.
A consistent message emerging is the need to improve the employability skills of young people entering the labour market – at all levels, from school, college and university. Crucially this is not about qualifications, but other skills and attributes a young person needs to land his or her first job.
The Employability Chartermark is awarded to education institutions and businesses in recognition of their commitment to, investment in, and delivery of work-readiness in young people.
Participation in the Employability Chartermark can produce tangible results for both education institutions and businesses. Education will see benefits such as knowledge of job opportunities, access to more work experience, up to date information on career routes and support for employability skills including mock interviews, CV writing, workplace visits and other employer expectations of staff..
Businesses have great opportunities for staff development in coaching, influencing and developing presentation and negotiation skills, to influence the educators in the importance of young people to be work ready, to talent spot and to have happier staff. Evidence tells us that allowing staff to volunteer can have a positive effect on staff retention, motivation and recruitment as well as business reputation.
For education the Employability Chartermark offers:
- Recognition to the establishment for its comprehensive committed work in regard to employability
- Opportunities to work more closely with local and national employers
- A framework to make a real difference to young people, with measurable outcomes
For businesses the Employability Chartermark offers:
- Recognition for community engagement or Corporate Social Responsibility
- A chance to engage more fully with the local community and education
- An opportunity to influence provision

Week 5 Summary: Wow! I can't believe I'm actually done with this course! I feel like I completed both the final project and the second tutorial very well. Nothing really gave me trouble this week other than the fact it was shorter. I really enjoyed the final project. Most of it was true but a little bit of the story I made up since it is a story class not a nonfictional class. I learned a lot throughout this course. The main thing I learned and I will probably use the most is how to make videos and getting the clips off YouTube to do so. I don't believe I would do anything different and I don't have any question since the class is over. I don't think there's any larger issues' surrounding this weeks work unless you consider LeBron breaking fans hearts by leaving them. I really enjoyed this class a lot!
Final Project
- Final Project: LeBron James Story
Summary: For this final project I decided to a story about LeBron James' career in Cleveland. I talked about how everyone went from loving him to hating him to loving him once again. He's one of the greatest players ever to play the game and he made a mistake in his mind leaving Cleveland.
Create two Tutorials
- Tutorial Blog Post: Tutorial #2: Highlight Reel
- Animated GIF Assignment: Highlight Reel
- Completed Blog Post of Assignment:Greatest Catch Ever
Summary: This tutorial is for an animated GIF assignment. You have to make a GIF about any sports highlight that you want to be played over and over again. This tutorial is a step-by-step process of how to make this GIF using Youtube and Make a GIF. I used screenshot to make it easy to follow as well I cropped them out to make them more focused on what I want people to see.
Comments on other people's blog post
- Christine's World!: Visual Design for Week 5
- Amanda's Locale: Final Project
- Usman Ownz: Fifth Week Final Project
- Snakes in a Barrel: Own Assignment #2 Movie Intro
- Court's View: There and Back Again – The adventures of a lost dog
Summary of comments: I learned a lot at looking at other people's blog post throughout the course. You get to see what other people did for the same assignments you completed and how they decided to approach the same task differently. I really enjoyed looking at everyone's final projects as well. I thought everyone did a great job on them.

Rs2619522 major alleles are NOT associated with decreased cognition (MINOR alleles, however, predict lower cognitive ability), according to the very study you link to:
"DTNBP1 rs2619522 Six independent samples with a total sample size of 4,793 produced a pooled effect size of ?0.083, 95% CI = ?0.141 to ?0.020, p = .007 (Figure 3). This indicates that subjects carrying at least one copy of the minor allele had significantly lower cognitive ability than those who were homozygotes for the major allele. The forest plot shows a consistent trend among all studies, suggesting that these studies were quite homogeneous, with a Q-statistic = 2.16, p = 0.90, I2 = 0%."
Also, from the study, "Impact of schizophrenia candidate genes on schizotypy and cognitive endophenotypes at the population level:"
"The DTNBP1 SNPs rs2619522 and rs760761 exhibited several single marker associations, the minor alleles being associated with lower attention capacity but also a decrease in positive and paranoid schizotypy scores"
- Agreed. Fixed. thanks. --- cariaso 19:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
