And of course you want to know how the printed version looks like. There were a few things I found most important:
- Size does matter :) I made it small enough to put in your purse, half letter /A5 format, so you can easily take it with you.
- Pictures: I wanted lots of pictures, just for eye candy :) There are 31 pics, including 6 full page size pics of every pattern. (out of 74 pages)
- Binding: I used wire-O, so you can easily work right from the book. When you lay it flat it stays that way.
- Paper: it's printed full-color on very heavy paper 4.7 oz/yard2 (160gr/m2)
- Protection: front and back are protcted by a plastic sheet.
- And of course all patterns have written instructions and charts, tips and a notes section where you can write down your own notes while working (if you look anything like me, you work on lots of different patterns at the same time and if I don't write stuff down, you'll forget, lol)

Fired Tennessee deputy takes early retirement
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee deputy who was fired after the publication of a photo that appears to show him choking a suspect has decided to take early retirement.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1jHMo6X) reports that documents dated Thursday show that 47-year-old Frank Phillips chose to take "deferred retirement" instead of appealing his firing.
Knox County Sheriff Jimmy Jones terminated Phillips on April 27, saying he believes Phillips used "excessive force" while arresting a college student.
Phillips' attorney, Don Bosch, says the former deputy denies using excessive force and is looking for other employment.
The newspaper reports that freelance photographer John Messner took photos of the arrest that first appeared on the website of the U.K. Daily Mail. The caption says the deputy, whose hands appear to be around the suspect's neck, rendered the student unconscious.

To John Adams from Benjamin Stoddert, 29 May 1799
Navy Department 29. May 1799
I have the honor to enclose the copy of a letter Just received from Capt Truxton who has arrived at Hampton, with the Constellation & the Insurgente.
There are now in the West Indies, The [Genlr] Tingey, the Baltimore Barson—the George Washington, Fletcher the Pickering Preeble the Norfolk, Bainbridge, the Richmond, Speak, and the Eagle, 14 Guns, Campbell—but I am afraid, the George Washington, Fletcher, & the Pickering, Preeble, may return before they receive orders to remain.
Orders were sent by Tingey of the 15 March, but he did not leave Hampton until the 29' March—And by the Norfolk Bainbridge, the 15 April, for all the Vessels except the Frigates to remain in the West Indies until further orders—But those orders were directed to Barry & Truxton—by their not waiting long enough in the Islands for the arrival of either of these Vessels, the plan of operations for the West Indies, will be somewhat deranged, & I wish our Commerce may not feel the effect. I had calculated with confidence on Truxtons remaining until the return of the Norfolk, as he sent her in, and wrote me by her, he should wait for her return, which he ought to have done—However he has conducted himself in general, so well, that I will not complain—I have sent off the Montezuma, under the command of Maloney to St. Kitts— & I hope the Merrimack Brown, has sailed from Boston—Those Vessels with those which they will find in the Islands, will be abundantly sufficient to keep the Cruisers of Guadeloupe in check, until the arrival of <
the> other Vessels—But I shall not feel easy, until Talbot in the Constitution, is on his way to the Islands. I can see no reason why that should not be by the 15th. of June. McNiele who has energy, I hope may be off by the 10th. June—I have written him to this effect, & expect everything from his activity of Character—I believe it will be best, that he should proceed to Surrinam—The Trade in that Quarter being too much exposed.
It does not appear from what I have seen of the Dispatches from Stevens, that there is much probability that entercourse can be opened with St. Domingo. I do not imagine that we ought to regard private assurances <
[. . .]them> in direct opposition to Public Acts—It may soon be necessary to pay as much attention to the Cruisers from St. Domingo, as to those from Guadaloupe.
I have the honor to be / with the highest respect & / esteem, sir Yr. most / Obed. Serv.
Ben Stoddert
I have not yet recd advice of the Genl Greene, Perry, having sailed from Newport—The two Vessels, from Charleston which are to act under his command, must be at or near the Havanna, by this time.

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Winthrop University is singled out in an Education Trust report, "Big Gaps, Small Gaps: Some Colleges and Universities Do Better Than Others in Graduating African-American Students" as a national leader in consistently showing high rates of graduation success among minority populations.
Nationally 57 percent of all students who enroll earn diplomas within six years, but the graduation rates for different groups of students are vastly different. About 60 percent of whites graduate but only 49 percent of Latinos and 40 percent of African Americans who start college hold bachelor's degrees six years later.
Winthrop University, a public master's institution that enrolls about 5,000 undergraduates of which 27 percent are black, has graduated African-American students at higher rates than whites every year from 2002 through 2008. About 62 percent of black students graduate within six years, compared with 57 percent of white students.
In the report, Frank Ardaiolo, Winthrop's vice president for student life, credits President Anthony DiGiorgio's 20-year commitment to make Winthrop "the institution of choice" for minority students in South Carolina. The university has succeeded in recruiting and retaining a critical mass of African-American students and, as a result, can take a comprehensive approach to student success.
Instead of targeting special programs specifically toward African Americans, Ardaiolo said that all students are expected to graduate at Winthrop, "A Winthrop student is a Winthrop student is a Winthrop student," he said.
Winthrop is highlighted in the Education Trust report as a top performer with lessons for all universities to learn. "In my 21 years here, I cannot recall a more gratifying statement," said Ardaiolo. "Why? Our success has been predicated on just over two decades of dedicated commitment and hard work by university faculty and staff who have worked tirelessly to improve upon Winthrop's appreciation of diversity and student success for all through many detailed yearly objectives and outcomes being fulfilled."Winthrop's University College serves as a central location for retention efforts and as the academic home for freshmen and those who have yet to declare a major. One program includes an early alert system, in which faculty members notify the University College of students who are struggling academically. The college then works with each student's adviser and resident assistant to provide the student with counseling.
Some institutions get in trouble because they shift their emphasis toward faculty and what they do, according to Tom Moore, Winthrop's vice president for academic affairs. He said Winthrop has worked hard to "seriously move student learning and development to the center of the university's mission."
As part of this focus, Winthrop has incorporated student learning into faculty evaluations and hiring to ensure that all faculty are committed to students' academic success, Moore said. These efforts, combined with institutional leaders' commitment to diversity and student success, are essential in maintaining high graduation rates for all Winthrop students.
Education Trust officials said graduate rates averages nationwide mask important differences between institutions. "Graduation rates at individual institutions tell a range of stories – some of smashing success – which should be studied deeply and replicated widely," said Kati Haycock, president of The Education Trust. "Unfortunately, there are others of shocking irresponsibility. The lesson of all of these stories is: What colleges do for students of color powerfully impacts the futures of these young people and that of our nation."
Using several years of data from College Results Online – a unique Web-based tool that allows the public to view college graduation rates by race, ethnicity, and gender for four-year institutions across the country. The rates reveal:
"We did uncover some large gaps in student success rates and low graduation rates for students of color. But it would be wrong to assume that these gaps are inevitable or immutable," said Mamie Lynch, higher education research and policy analyst at The Education Trust and coauthor of the report. "For many of the 'big gap' schools, we can point to an institution working with a similar student body that graduates students of color at rates similar to those of white students."

Natural and minimalistic...The last few weeks (since the beginning of my vacation) I decided to walk around with no make-up, or when I work with less make up. Just a little bit of naturel colored eye shadow and an eyeliner. That's it! It's time to give my skin a little break too. So during the couple of weeks, my outfit posts will be without make-up!
And for those who were waiting to see the first pictures with my new love, this is the second post! I immediately see the difference in quality and colors. And now I just can't live without that camera anymore. I even got myself a softbox and light box to shoot the craziest things! Oh, love the blog life...

ABC WEDNESDAY--"O" is for "Oh, my gosh!"
"Oh, my gosh!" is exactly what I said upon spying these remakes of a vintage plaid lunchbox I carried in grades three, four, and five. I think a new one each year, since either the fastener loosened and my lunch fell out or else the (smaller than the big one shown) thermos cracked.
I dearly loved these lunchboxes....I can still smell the Lebanon bologna sandwiches with French's mustard (all on white bread, of course....) that my grandmother packed for me.
If you want to see the originals, have a look at this lady's blog.

So these are NEW and I can buy them now? Be still my beating heart! What a great gift for the grandkids, and if they don't like them I'll pack my own lunch in one everyday.

Stone Age Turkey really starts to heat up in the Neolithic. Cultures and sites like the Nevalı Çori, Göbekli Tepe, Mersin, Çatalhöyük and the Çayönü shape up Turkey's Stone Age history.
Göbekli Tepe is oldest known religious structure in the world. It is a megalithic structure that was built around 12,000 years ago by some hunter-gatherers. The construction is incredible. It contains giant limestone structures that have carved images of lions, bulls, boars, foxes, gazelles, donkeys, snakes and various reptiles. The site actually predates Neolithic economies, no domestication of plants or animals or pottery is associated with the site. It could be termed a Mesolithic site, but since the megalithic culture of Europe is associated with the Neolithic period, we'll include it here. Only a small portion of the site has been excavated, so more will come out of it as the site is fully discovered. However the immense size of the structure has really shaken up anthropological and archeological theories, pushing dates much further into antiquity than previously imagined.
Mersin is a South-central port city in modern day Turkey that show signs of inhabitation dating back to 6300 BC. The Yumuktepe hill is a a tumulus that has produced both stone and ceramic tools that date back to the earliest period. This Neolithic site would go on to be an important settlement for the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks and Selucid Empire that covered most of the Classical History of the region.
The Çatalhöyük site flourished from around 7500 BC - 5700 BC in southern Turkey. One of the distinctive features of this site is its mother goddess figurines. The area has produced an immense number of artifacts, cementing its place as an important spot for the evolution of religion. It is among the best preserved and largest Neolithic settlements in all of Europe.
Çayönü is located in Southeastern Turkey. It flourished from around 7200 BC - 6600 BC and was related to the Çatalhöyük site as a possible influence. Unlike the Mersin site that flourished along the Euphrates, the Çayönü was located at the base of mountains near the mouth of the Tigris. It is notable because it might have been the place where pigs were first domesticated. Bacon enthusiasts everywhere are indebted to the Çayönü. Beyond that the Çayönü domesticated a number of cereals that have continued down to the present day.

Welcome back to another great semester here at Willamette! Hopefully not much was forgotten over the break…
For those of you that are planning on study abroad (or even those that are not), Google Earth is a great tool to check out the place you are going beforehand. There are great pictures of Tokyo and Himeji that I found while looking around (more after the leap).
Google Earth has a multitude of uses, from finding directions, to seeing if the local resolution will allow you to pick out your old Datsun in the driveway of your parents house back home…however Google Earth (and Google Maps) can also be of great use in terms of learning about culture, travel and language.
According to NITLE, a non-profit initiative for advancing learning through the use of digital technologies ,Web-based mapping tools like Google Earth are changing the way we understand our world by promoting spatial thinking and visual literacy.Google Earth allows language learners to develop their skills in geography while exploring important cultural and natural locations.
You must download Google Earth, however Google Maps is available online, and if you have both, you may switch between the two with a click of a button.
The overall resolution in this program is pretty astounding, but if you desire a closer look, you also have the ability to view photos that random people have taken and posted at the site of interest. To do this in Google Earth, select the box called Geographic Web, and check out the photo links that appear. In Google Maps, go to the My Maps tab and select the box to show Photos from Panoramio or Photos from Picasa. And of course there are other buttons for quick access to more points in interest that you can explore.
Here's a map of Japan from space, for example.

Redemption! - The Cover Story
October 2013
Just a short while after I mortally wounded my precious drive of All Things John (1997-2003), I have recovered it, thanks to a handy piece of software called Partition Table Doctor 3.0. This package ran through my disk, found the wreckage of my partition, and using those pieces put it back together again, whole. I am beside myself with relief, and now Partition Table Doctor has the coveted Brewer's Unconditional Endorsement, an award bestowed on those people, places, and things that save me from my own intergalactic stupidity. The demo version was rather clever, too. It analyzed my disk and announced that yes, indeed, it could fix it, proceeded to document the changes it would make, and then promptly asked to me to buy the full version in order to actually resurrect the disk. It was the fastest decision to blow $50 I've every made. I ponied up the money, downloaded the software, ran the repair routine, and presto-chango-alakazzam, my disk was back, and moreover, in the basic format I wanted to get it into when I started this whole ordeal. This little toy is going permenantly in my bag of tricks, and I recommend it to anyone who both has Administrator rights and is known to make a boo-boo every now and again.

A beautiful throw for any home
This cosy Aran Merino Wool throw is an absolute must have for any home with Irish roots! It is made in Ireland of 100% Soft Merino Wool. Perfect for dressing up any arm chair or at the end of a bed. The throw is made up of traditional patchwork pattern which incorporates nearly all of the Irish stitches.
While our sweaters are a great choice, because they are warm and durable, proper care should be always taken to protect your garment. We recommend all of our sweaters and wool garments are gently hand washed with a mild wool detergent, reshaped by hand and dried flat. If soaked for too long, the wool may shrink and become hard.
Alternatively, most of our sweaters can also be dry cleaned but always check the care label first. Under no circumstances should you machine wash or tumble dry your sweater or any other wool product. Remember, when you give your sweater great care, it will last you for a long time.

This article describing the process restaurant kitchens go through to avoid cross-contamination for customers with allergies was fascinating. Labels, separate cutting boards, the whole nine yards.
I have mixed feelings on the article as a whole. I think it points out a real problem but is also too quick to paint people who go gluten-free without celiac or a wheat allergy as bandwagon-hoppers.
11 percent of American households are following a gluten-free diet, even though only a quarter of them said they were doing it because of celiac or gluten intolerance.
The gluten-free spectrum is diverse. About 0.3 percent of Americans have a wheat allergy, meaning that ingesting even a trace amount could send them into anaphylactic shock. Then there is the 1 percent with celiac. Finally, there are people with gluten sensitivity, who suffer symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, or fatigue after eating gluten. Given the absence of diagnostic tools, the size of this last group is particularly fuzzy, though Fasano's research suggests it's in the 5 to 6 percent range.
Fasano is troubled that so many people are diagnosing themselves with gluten intolerance, changing their diet without ever going to the doctor. "You don't say, 'I'm drinking a lot and peeing a lot, so I must have diabetes,' and then start injecting yourself with insulin."
Many who go gluten-free find themselves feeling better and see that as proof that they have gluten intolerance. But a genuine gluten problem is only one of three possible explanations for their improved health, and statistically the least likely. Another reason could be the placebo effect. The most likely explanation is that paying closer attention to diet and avoiding fried and junk food — which tends to be loaded with gluten — is bound to make anyone feel better.
What's the big deal if gluten-tolerant people go gluten-free, especially since they'll be eating fewer Pop-Tarts?
The problem is the more these bandwagon-jumpers demand special attention, the more likely that restaurants and wider society will come to see all gluten-free people as phonies.
The assumption, based on a single poll, is that the majority of people doing a gluten-free diet are simply following the fad. But I don't think the math holds up. If 1 percent of people have celiac disease, .3% have a wheat allergy, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-6% have gluten intolerance, and 11% are doing gluten-free, then the majority (6-7 of 11) of those have an allergy or intolerance to gluten. That's odd considering that it was the main reason given by only a quarter of the gluten-free respondents to the survey quoted. (The summary of the study itself doesn't list all the potential reasons or indicate whether respondents had to select a single main reason. And only 25% of the respondents believed that a gluten-free diet was generally healthy for everyone. So, a large majority are well aware that gluten isn't some dietary bogeyman, but something that some people react badly to.
As another confounding factor, gluten-free diets are hawked as a potential weight loss method, and I don't know whether "weight loss" was a reason given in that survey. And while gluten-free in and of itself isn't likely to result in weight loss, having severely limited carb options certainly can, at least in the short term. When doctors push weight loss as the solution to any and all problems, it's not surprising that people would flock to anything that's promising that as a potential benefit. In their view, they are doing it for a legitimate health reason. The article mentions claiming allergies to dairy as a weight-loss tactic, but doesn't connect that with a fatphobic culture or pressure to be thin at any cost.
I also think the "you wouldn't just diagnose yourself as diabetic and start taking insulin" analogy is way off. If eating something makes you feel crappy, and taking it out of your diet makes you feel better, you are under no obligation to prove to anyone else that your issue with that food is legitimate. You get to eat whatever you want, period, end of story, diagnosis or no diagnosis. Sure, if you're cutting out whole food groups, you should probably work with a doctor and/or dietitian both to verify that it's necessary and to make sure you're not missing important nutrients. And if you're having symptoms that seem allergy-related, then seeing a doctor is an extremely good idea. Both to make sure you have emergency meds if needed and to nail down what precisely you're allergic to. But if it's a mild intolerance, and you can cut something out without stressing yourself out or severely limiting your diet, that's your call and no one else's. Eliminating a food from your diet isn't even in the same ballpark as randomly deciding to take prescription medications with no diagnosis.
For example, I don't eat pad thai. I've had it twice, once at a restaurant and once homemade. Both times, it tasted delicious, then sat in my stomach like lead, and I felt lousy. Did I just eat too much of it? Is there something in it or some combination of things that I react badly to? Was it a total coincidence? I have no idea. But when given the opportunity to eat pad thai, I think "ick," associate it with an upset stomach, and don't want to repeat the experience. But as long as green curry, chicken satay, and tom kah gai exist in the world, I can live quite happily without ever eating pad thai.
If we decide that I'm not allowed to go "pad thai-free" without a real medical diagnosis, how do I accomplish this? If I go to the doctor and say, "When I eat pad thai, I feel sick to my stomach?" do you think they're going to run tests or try to figure out if I'm intolerant to fish sauce or tamarind or beansprouts, or do you think they'll tell me not to eat pad thai? Yes, I know there's a difference between cutting out one highly specific food and avoiding a staple like wheat, but even people with definite gluten sensitivity often have trouble getting a diagnosis. So they do what they need to do for themselves to feel better. If there are barriers to their getting appropriate medical care (and there are an awful lot of those in the US), we should work on those, but in the mean time, people are still going to take care of themselves as best they know how.
I agree that people shouldn't lie about allergies. If something upsets your stomach or gives you gas or triggers a gag reflex, it's not an allergy. That doesn't mean you should be expected to eat it for politeness' sake, but lying about allergies does cause people to jump through totally unnecessary hoops to avoid cross-contamination. But I also think that people are too eager to "catch" somebody faking and that they jump on inconsistencies that may or may not be dishonesty. The person who can't have dairy and then ordered ice cream? Maybe they lied. Maybe they weighed the risks and decided it was worth it. Getting to make your own decisions includes making decisions that aren't optimal. And sometimes people have multiple competing things going on with food that they don't feel the need to fully explain, which might look inconsistent or dishonest on the surface. This Captain Awkward post about a part-time vegetarian is a good example. People seem really quick to jump to "Lying!" "Attention-seeking!" instead of "Needed protein!" or "Don't fit fully into either the carnivore or vegetarian box!"
Personal example time again. I don't generally tolerate spicy foods well, both in taste and in GI unpleasantness afterwards. But it really depends on the day. There will be times when I think, "Bring on the heat!" and times when lamb korma somehow tastes "hot" to me. And while I've had GI unpleasantness from Mexican food, I've never had that reaction to hot wings. (Possibly because they go with pizza, so the percentage of "hot foods" to "overall meal" is lower.) So, if I turn something down because it's too spicy and then next week you see me eating hot wings, it may look like I'm bullshitting you, but that's not actually the case.
I do think it's impolite to put other people to trouble you won't go to yourself. If you're going to expect a kitchen to slow way down to do the allergy dance for you, then you should be willing to forgo the tasty food with the ingredient you just told them you can't have. And it would be kind of jerk-like as a semi-vegetarian to insist that your steak-loving friends always go to the vegetarian place rather than having your once-every-so-often chicken come from the place they like.

Journal article
With funding for services like MOSIS shrinking and industry demanding more diverse skills, the microelectronics education infrastructure—indeed that of engineering education in general—is under intense pressure to change. But change without organization and a concrete implementation plan could be disastrous. Participants from academia, government, and industry met to discuss the best way for change to take place and just what is required to make it happen. D&T thanks participants James Aylor (University of Virginia), Joseph Cavallaro (Rice University), Bernard Courtois (CMP), Jason Feinsmith (Xilinx), Robert Hodson (Christopher Newport University), John Hines (US Air Force Wright Laboratories), Cesar Pina, (the MOSIS Service), and Michael Smith (University of Hawaii). We also thank moderator Don Bouldin (University of Tennessee), D&T associate editor Kaushik Roy (Purdue) who organized the event, and the Microelectronic Systems Education Conference, which sponsored it.

Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Release date: May 5th, 2015
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Length: 304 pages
Source: ARC from the publisher
Rating: Better than the first Throne of Glass *throws down gauntlet* I SAID IT. It's like if Cruel Beauty and Throne of Glass had a baby and that baby grew up to write Fifty Shades of Grimm and I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!
A Court of Faerie and Tale
There are two things I love dearly in this world (well, more than two, but these are two of them): fairy tale-related things, and Sarah J. Maas books. Sarah was kind enough to mash these things up for me (THANKS, SARAH) by retelling my all-time favorite fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast. Of course, she did it in typical Sarah fashion, which means it's dark, bloody, sensual, and completely, one hundred percent seductive. I read this book in a passioned frenzy, which means I'm really not the most objective of reviewers right now, because most of what I can remember from it is OMGOMGOMG. SQUEE.
A Court of Feyre the Bad Ass
I have to start my review with the center of the story, our Beauty, Feyre. LOVE this girl. She's very different from Celaena. She's determined and passionate and ready to give her whole heart, if someone would just take it (also she has my hair color, so that's endearing). She's the caretaker of her family, the hunter, shouldering all the responsibility, though she's only nineteen.
One winter day while out hunting, she shoots a wolf...who turns out to be a Fae in disguise, ventuing south into the human lands across the wall that divides them from the Faerie Realms.
Feyre has an incredible arc over the book, growing into the sort of character who takes control of her own fate and battles for what she wants. I especially loved her struggle with her inability to read. It's not often we get illiterate heroines.
A Court of Boys and More Boys
Because this is Exactly My Type of Book, in this world Fae are aggressively hot individuals who live in fancy courts and have fancy magicks and tragic backstories. There's Tamlin, ferociously hot lord of the Spring Court, brooding and forbidding but...sensitive and passionate. There's Lucien, who... hee, Lucien. And then there's the last boy, the question mark, the dark one whose motives are unclear and whose methods are MESSY, to say the least, and I'll let you make up your mind about him.
|Rhysand arrives on the scene to confuse your heart
A Court of HOT and HOTTER
SAR. AH. You made me feel EMBARRASSED reading this book! (In a good way). As in put the book down, wide-eyed, and glanced around my completely empty apartment to make sure no one could somehow see inside my thoughts and see what I was reading and understand where my blush came from but also I reread all those scenes like eight times and fanned myself with the book and YEP THERE'S A REASONS FEYRE IS NINETEEN FOLKS.
A Court of Lush and Imaginative
I loved the worldbuilding in this book. You know I love me some Throne of Glass, but ACOTAR's worldbuilding has a really lovely clarity and cohesion and magic to it. It's so vast and visual, and that's helped by Sarah's prose, which is--YAY--in first person! I love first person. I love who completely inside Feyre's head we are, and I think the breathtaking, lyrical writing really served the reader.
Feyre starts out at Tamlin's Court, the Spring Court, but behind the beautiful green gardens and marble halls lies a curse. Dark creatures roam the forest. All the Fae denizens wear masks that seem permanently affixed to their faces. And even as Tamlin and Feyre grow closer and closer and
A Court of Dark and Twisted
Yeppp, this book is not for people who like their fairy tales squeaky clean, that is for sure. I'm not normally one for Fae books, but the way Sarah does them is so completely my thing. They are Fucked Up, capitals intended, particularly the ones under the mountain. It's like the movie Labyrinth crossed with...idk, a BDSM dungeon, and then the Spring Court was like IDK wiccan hippie orgy rave??? I LOVED IT. Crazy freaking book, man. What a trip. I can't even word good about it.
|look IDK Beast you try writing reviews it's hard
I think the moment I tumbled headfirst into the plot--the point of no return, no going to bed, goodbye, I will go down with this heroine--was when Feyre went Under the Mountain. Can't say ANY of the context, but it was the moment when my brain just LIT UP on this book and I couldn't get enough.
|let out those Beast feeeeelings
Like I said, I read this book in a mad, heady rush, and not only that, I read it in December, well before more of the hype around it had built. Whether or not that contributed to my OMGAH feels, I can't say, but I'm drunk in love with ACOTAR and don't particarly care to analyze why. (In fact, I super DON'T want to analyze why I am so into every fucked up treat this book has to offer.) (Though I will admit, the answer to the riddle was blindingly obvious.) There were probably some problematic thingamabobs (ooo, did things get...iiiiiinteresting Under the Mountain *looks at Rhysand*) but honestly, I was reading so fast and hungrily that I probably stormed right past them. I was totally caught up in the intoxicating lure of this book and Sarah's imagery and my burning Team Feyre-ness.

By Cara Ogburn
The Milwaukee Film Festival is just around the corner. C21 is involved with two events- it is cosponsoring J. Hoberman's keynote, and partnering with the film WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists. Get your tickets now! With so many exciting films, panels, and conversations coming up, Cara Ogburn took the time to explain some of the highlights.
In addition to my life as an elusive dissertator in English, I also work as Panels Producer for the Milwaukee Film Festival. This is my second year in this position and I wanted to write to let people know about the great panels we have planned this year. From serial murderers to film careers on youtube, public policy discussions to conversations about contemporary Chinese cinema, we've got it all.
Which isn't even mentioning the main event: our keynote this year (Sunday, September 30 at 1pm) will be delivered by none other than revered film critic J. Hoberman. His talk is titled: State of Cinema in the 21st Century: Film After Film. This is such a big event that we're holding it in the Downer Theatre and we are ticketing it. The tickets are free, but to reserve some of the limited space you'll need to pick up a ticket either at C21, online at mkefilm.org, or at one of the Milwaukee Film Festival Box Offices (open now at the Oriental and Fox-Bay theatres, opening Friday at the Downer).
We also have a slate of eight additional panels, all of which are free and open to the public. Most are held in UWM's Kenilworth Square East (KSE) building, on Kenilworth Place (the street just south of the Oriental) between Farwell and Prospect. See our website at mkefilm.org/content/panels for full and up-to-date details.
But here's a few highlights that I think you might want to check out. With one exception (see below) all of these panels will be held in KSE 640. Hope to see you there!
Chinese Cinema in a Transnational Frame | Saturday September 29, 1pm
Part of our Passport: China program, this talk by Dr. Jennifer Feeley (University of Iowa) will focus on the complexities of defining contemporary Chinese cinema. From nationality to language, ethnicity, and culture, the lenses that can define Chinese cinema sometimes overlap but often compete. Further complicating this definition are how Taiwanese, Hong Kong and diaspora filmmakers working in China fit in, as well as the increasing transnational co-productions. Moderated by UWM's Dr. Jian Xu.
Access and Ethics in Documentary Filmmaking | Saturday, October 6, 1pm
This discussion of how documentarians gain access to subjects and ethical issues therein will appeal to filmmakers and documentary aficionados alike. Moderated by local filmmaker Janet Fitch and featuring the directors of As Goes Janesville (Milwaukee's own Brad Lichtenstein) and Tchoupitoulas (Turner and Bill Ross).
Work-in-Progress Forum | Saturday, October 6, 3pm
Now in its second year, this annual event looks at "coming attractions" from Wisconsin's vibrant filmmaking scene. Come see what might be in next year's festival (or the year after that…) as filmmakers discuss and preview their current work.
Three A-holes Talk about Web Videos | Saturday, October 6, 7pm
Held at the Y-NOT III Tavern (1854 E Kenilworth Place) this 21+ only event will focus on how one makes a film career on the Internet. With RedLetterMedia's Jay Bauman and Mike Stoklasa plus Funny or Die Contributor Jack Packard in attendance, it's also bound to be a riotous time.
Dahmer, Milwaukee | Sunday, October 7, 5pm
Following the matinee of local film, The Jeffrey Dahmer Files, this discussion will reflect on how the case changed the city's social, political, and cultural terrain.
Moderated by the film's director (and UWM grad) Chris James Thompson, the panel features UWM's own Dr. Joe Austin (History) and Dr. Pat Kennedy (Criminal Justice and the lead interrogator in the Dahmer case) plus the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's James E. Causey and Jerome Smith of the Open Door Café.
MKE at Risk: Afterschool Programs | Wednesday, October 10, 7:30pm
Inspired by the documentary Brooklyn Castle (a screening of which happens immediately before the panel at 5pm), and in conjunction with the Public Policy Forum's multi-part research initiative, this panel considers challenges for Milwaukee's after-school programs. Moderated by Alan Borsuk, Senior Fellow in Law and Public Policy, Marquette University Law School and featuring representatives from MPS, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, Safe & Sound and City on a Hill.
[Cara Ogburn is a dissertator in the Modern Studies program in the English department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her dissertation centers on the connections (metaphoric and literal) between books and bodies in print media, hypermedia, and performance/body art. She teaches writing courses at UWM and at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.]

Google Car You've Got Competition
Volvo is considered one of the safest cars on the road. So how do you improve on that? Well, for Volvo the solution is to remove the human element. Volvo has announced development of a self-driving car and plans on having a self-driving fleet by 2020.
Volvo is planning to release the first batch of autonomous vehicles, capable of speeds of up to 31 miles per hour, in 2014. The Google self-driving car is already street legal in California but plans for its availability to consumers have been speculative.
Volvo's take on the self-driving car is a bit different. The company is focusing on improving communication between cars to create what Volvo has called "road trains" — convoys of self-driving cars that can improve fuel-efficiency, safety, and allow drivers to relax behind the wheel.
In addition to Volvo's announcement of an autonomous car Toyota (Lexus) and Audi have announced their plans for self-driving cars production as well. Google's research car is based on a Toyota Prius, but Google and Toyota have not been involved in each other's research projects, according to a source at Toyota. The self-driving Audi is already on the roads in state of Nevada.

The new Knitty "Surprise!" patterns are up and, guess what? One of them uses Unique Sheep yarn! We were so honored when Brenda Dayne asked us to use our yarn and the shawl she designed for it, "Now in a Minute" is a perfect match for our Gradiance collection. It is elegant and feminine without being too overtly lacey, and since most of it is in a simple stockinette stitch pattern its a great option for chatty Knit Nights, travel knitting or sitting-on-the-back-porch-sipping-a-lemonade-and-soaking-in-the-sun-knitting.
This pattern requires 150g of fingering weight yarn (Brenda uses Luxe) in any of our Gradiance colorways. Brenda collaborated with Kelly to create the new colorway "Enfys" for this pattern.
p.s. if the link to the pattern doesn't open immediately, try again later. The Knitty website has a tendency to get a bit overwhelmed by the initial burst of people visiting the site when they announce new patterns!

Hi, Sharon. Loved your post and quote from one of my favorite people. I studied dance under one of her own troupe dancers, Eleanor Struppa, at Randolph-Macon Woman's College and accompanied her longtime "friend " Louis Horst over to a dance conference at SweetBriar College. A naïf then, I did not know who he was and asked him " Are you involved in modern dance??" Thelma

Is that your drawing, Sharon? It's marvelous: Martha Graham as Wonder Woman. :) I saw Graham perform in her old age (Clytemnestra). As I remember, she struck poses more than she moved, but it's always fascinating to see a living legend.

I've always loved that quote. Never been able to take the advice, but I love the idea. The older I get, though, the more urgent it becomes that I stop worrying about who's watching and just dance my own dance, for better or worse.
Happy new year to you, Sharon, and all my sisters here. Your friendship is a bright light in my life.

Happy New Year to you and yours. Have enjoyed PDD this year.

Thelma and Elizabeth, I so envy you for your contacts with Martha Graham. Seeing her strike poses would have been just fine with me.
World have sent return New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve, but I was in bed with bronchitis. Much better now.

Is that Pymble fire station on the Pacific Highway, near the intersection of Mona Vale/ Ryde Roads.
Old is good.
looks like it may well be mate I Googled it and there is a red brick very similar building there now.
Cheers, Lindsay.
I did some research.
Mr Google knows everything.
It's actually Hornsby fire station on the Pacific Highway. About 10km up from Pymble.
If you go to google maps you will see Pretoria Parade. Pretoria Pd runs off the highway beside the Ampol garage.
This corner claimed a lot of trucks over the years until the freeway opened.
someone forgot to put the link in: BA00862921201008462500
Hope that works. It's a you tube video of the fire.

Foods That Boost Immunity:
It takes more than an apple a day to keep the doctor away. It turns out that eating some pretty surprising nutrients will help keep your immune system on guard.
You can ensure your body and immunity run smoothly by rounding out your plate with plenty of colorful servings of fruits and veggies,
8 to 10 glasses of water a day, at the very least.
The following ingredients can add extra flu-fighting punch to your winter meal plan:
Probiotics, or the "live active cultures" found in yogurt, are healthy bacteria that keep the gut and intestinal tract free of disease-causing germs. Although they're available in supplement form, a study from the University of Vienna in Austria found that a daily 7-ounce dose of yogurt was just as effective in boosting immunity as popping pills. In an 80-day Swedish study of 181 factory employees, those who drank a daily supplement of Lactobacillus reuteri—a specific probiotic that appears to stimulate white blood cells—took 33% fewer sick days than those given a placebo. Any yogurt with a Live and Active Cultures seal contains some beneficial bugs, but Stonyfield Farm is the only US brand that contains this specific strain.
Your optimal dose: Two 6-ounce servings a day.
These grains contain beta-glucan, a type of fiber with antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities more potent than echinacea, reports a Norwegian study. When animals eat this compound, they're less likely to contract influenza, herpes, even anthrax; in humans, it boosts immunity, speeds wound healing, and may help antibiotics work better. Your optimal dose: At least one in your three daily servings of whole grains.
Your optimal dose: At least one in your three daily servings of whole grains.
This potent onion relative contains the active ingredient allicin, which fights infection and bacteria. British researchers gave 146 people either a placebo or a garlic extract for 12 weeks; the garlic takers were two-thirds less likely to catch a cold. Other studies suggest that garlic lovers who chow more than six cloves a week have a 30% lower rate of colorectal cancer and a 50% lower rate of stomach cancer.Your optimal dose: Two raw cloves a day and add crushed garlic to your cooking several times a week.
Selenium, plentiful in shellfish such as oysters, lobsters, crabs, and clams, helps white blood cells produce cytokines-proteins that help clear flu viruses out of the body. Salmon, mackerel, and herring are rich in omega-3 fats, which reduce inflammation, increasing airflow and protecting lungs from colds and respiratory infections.(CAUTION:- RECENT RESEARCHES SAYS MEAT EATING CAUSES UNWANTED AND UNEXPECTED DECEASES GROWTH IN HUMAN BODY)Your optimal dose: Two servings a week (unless you're pregnant or planning to be).
When University of Nebraska researchers tested 13 brands, they found that all but one (chicken-flavored ramen noodles) blocked the migration of inflammatory white cells-an important finding, because cold symptoms are a response to the cells' accumulation in the bronchial tubes. The amino acid cysteine, released from chicken during cooking, chemically resembles the bronchitis drug acetylcysteine, which may explain the results. The soup's salty broth keeps mucus thin the same way cough medicines do. Added spices, such as garlic and onions, can increase soup's immune-boosting power.(CAUTION:- RECENT RESEARCHES SAYS MEAT EATING CAUSES UNWANTED AND UNEXPECTED DECEASES GROWTH IN HUMAN BODY)Your optimal dose: Have a bowl when feeling crummy.
People who drank 5 cups a day of black tea for 2 weeks had 10 times more virus-fighting interferon in their blood than others who drank a placebo hot drink, in a Harvard study. The amino acid that's responsible for this immune boost, L-theanine, is abundant in both black and green tea—decaf versions have it, too.Your optimal dose: Several cups daily. To get up to five times more antioxidants from your tea bags, bob them up and down while you brew.
Zinc deficiency is one of the most common nutritional shortfalls among American adults, especially for vegetarians and those who've cut back on beef, a prime source of this immunity-bolstering mineral. And that's unfortunate, because even mild zinc deficiency can increase your risk of infection. Zinc in your diet is very important for the development of white blood cells, the intrepid immune system cells that recognize and destroy invading bacteria, viruses, and assorted other bad guys, says William Boisvert, PhD, an expert in nutrition and immunity at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA. (CAUTION:- RECENT RESEARCHES SAYS MEAT EATING CAUSES UNWANTED AND UNEXPECTED DECEASES GROWTH IN HUMAN BODY)Your optimal dose: A 3-oz serving of lean beef provides about 30 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for zinc. That's often enough to make the difference between deficient and sufficient. Not a beef person? Try zinc-rich oysters, fortified cereals, pork, poultry, yogurt, or milk.
You may not think of skin as part of your immune system. But this crucial organ, covering an impressive 16 square feet, serves as a first-line fortress against bacteria, viruses, and other undesirables. To stay strong and healthy, your skin needs vitamin A. "Vitamin A plays a major role in the production of connective tissue, a key component of skin," explains Prevention advisor David Katz, MD, director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center in Derby, CT. One of the best ways to get vitamin A into your diet is from foods containing beta-carotene (like sweet potatoes), which your body turns into vitamin A.
Your optimal dose: A half-cup serving, which delivers only 170 calories but 40% of the DV of vitamin A as beta-carotene. They're so good, you might want to save them for dessert! Think orange when looking for other foods rich in beta-carotene: carrots, squash, canned pumpkin, and cantaloupe.
For centuries, people around the world have turned to mushrooms for a healthy immune system. Contemporary researchers now know why. "Studies show that mushrooms increase the production and activity of white blood cells, making them more aggressive. This is a good thing when you have an infection," says Douglas Schar, DipPhyt, MCPP, MNIMH, director of the Institute of Herbal Medicine in Washington, DC.Your optimal dose: Shiitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms appear to pack the biggest immunity punch; experts recommend at least ¼ ounce to an ounce a few times a day for maximum immune benefits. Add a handful to pasta sauce, saute with a little oil and add to eggs, or heap triple-decker style on a frozen pizza.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:According to Dr. William Sears, noted pediatrician and author, "Omega-3 fatty acids act as immune boosters by increasing the activity of phagocytes, the white blood cells that eat up bacteria." This is good news for the immune system, which is constantly under attack from bad bacteria, causing many respiratory illnesses. Foods high in omega-3s include eggs, nuts and dark, leafy greens. Fish is considered an excellent source of omega-3s. Make fun fish-shaped fish cakes out of canned wild salmon, or feed your kids crispy, baked fish sticks with ketchup. If your child refuses fish, try adding one to three teaspoons of flax seed oil, which also contains omega-3 fatty acids, to fruit smoothies or yogurt.
Omega-3 FAs are found in oily fish (mackerel, herring, sardines, tuna, trout, salmon), flaxseed oil, canola, soy, and walnut oils, dark green vegetables, parsley, seaweeds, nuts, seeds (pumpkin and sesame seeds, tahini), legumes (hummus), and wholegrain cereals.
- Vitamin C: fruit such as citrus (oranges, guava) and coloured berries (strawberries, blueberries and boysenberries) are excellent sources of vitamin C. Fruit juices are also good sources of vitamin C if they are vitamin C fortified. While freshly squeezed orange
juice is a good source of vitamin C, ripe fruits have higher vitamin C content than "green" or pre-ripe fruits. Vegetables such as red capsicums, parsley, broccoli and cabbage are also rich sources of Vitamin C.
- Vitamin A and beta-carotene: milk, egg yolk and fish oil (cod liver oil) contain vitamin A while beta-carotene is found in high levels in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin, butternut squash, apricots, mangoes and green leafy vegetables.
- Vitamin E: foods rich in vitamin E include wheatgerm, whole oats, cold pressed olive oil, fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, avocado, fish, poultry, meat, eggs and raw nuts and seeds.
11. Probiotics:
Probiotics encourage the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria that are needed to regulate the body's immune function. One of the most popular ways to get probiotics into your kids is to feed them yogurt with live, active cultures. Luckily, most kids like yogurt, but if yours doesn't, probiotics can also be purchased in powder form and added to milk or juice. Since probiotics have no noticeable taste, this is an easy immune-booster that even the finickiest eaters can benefit from. For the best protection, probiotics should be taken every day.
12. Fruit:
Not only are fruits a tasty snack, they're also some of the best immune system boosters. Citrus fruits and berries are both rich in antioxidants that work to rid the body of free radicals that weaken the immune system. Include a variety of berries, such as blueberries, blackberries and strawberries, along with tangerines and oranges, in your child's diet every day. For a one-two immune power punch, make a smoothie using probiotic-enhanced yogurt or probiotic powder, a variety of fresh or frozen fruits, ice and low fat milk.
13. Vegetables:
Let's face it, one of the hardest things for most parents to get their kids to eat is a variety of veggies. Broccoli, carrots and red, yellow and orange bell peppers all contain beta carotene and vitamin C, two notorious immune strengtheners. If your child tends to turn his nose up at veggies, make them fun by calling broccoli little trees, and try giving your child low fat ranch dressing or hummus to use as a dip. Make vegetables fun and be sure to show your kids that you enjoy eating them, too.
According to the American Dietetic Association, whether you buy fresh, frozen or canned, feeding your kids a variety of fruits and vegetables is a good way to ensure they're getting plenty of vitamins and nutrients.

14. Boost sleep time: Studies of adults show that sleep deprivation can make you more susceptible to illness by reducing natural killer cells, immune-system weapons that attack microbes and cancer cells. The same holds true for children, says Kathi Kemper, M.D., director of the Center for Holistic Pediatric Education and Research at Children's Hospital, in Boston. Children in day care are particularly at risk for sleep deprivation because all the activity can make it difficult for them to nap. How much sleep do kids need? A newborn may need up to 18 hours of cribtime a day, toddlers require 12 to 13 hours, and preschoolers need about 10 hours. "If your child can't or won't take naps during the day, try to put her to bed earlier," says Dr. Kemper.
15. Breast-feed your baby: Breast milk contains turbo-charged immunity-enhancing antibodies and white blood cells. Nursing guards against ear infections, allergies, diarrhea, pneumonia, meningitis, urinary-tract infections, and sudden infant death syndrome. Studies show that it may also enhance your baby's brain power and help protect her against insulin-dependent diabetes, Crohn's disease, colitis, and certain forms of cancer later in life. Colostrum, the thin yellow "premilk" that flows from the breasts during the first few days after birth, is especially rich in disease-fighting antibodies, says Dr. Shubin. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that moms breast-feed for a year. If this commitment isn't realistic, aim to breast-feed for at least the first two to three months in order to supplement the immunity your baby received in utero.
16. Exercise as a family: Research shows that exercise increases the number of natural killer cells in adults and regular activity can benefit kids in the same way, says Ranjit Chandra, M.D., a pediatric immunologist at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. To get your children into a lifelong fitness habit, be a good role model. "Exercise with them rather than just urge them to go outside and play," says Renee Stucky, Ph.D., a clinical assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Missouri Medical School. Fun family activities include bike riding, hiking, in-line skating, basketball, and tennis.
17. Guard against germ spread: Fighting germs doesn't technically boost immunity, but it's a great way to reduce stress on your child's immune system. Make sure your kids wash their hands often -- and with soap. You should pay particular attention to their hygiene before and after each meal and after playing outside, handling pets, blowing their nose, using the bathroom, and arriving home from day care. When you're out, carry disposable wipes with you for quick cleanups. To help kids get into the hand-washing habit at home, let them pick out their own brightly colored hand towels and soap in fun shapes, colors, and scents.
Another key germ-busting strategy: "If your child does get sick, throw out her toothbrush right away," says Barbara Rich, D.D.S., a spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry. A child can't catch the same cold or flu virus twice, but the virus can hop from toothbrush to toothbrush, infecting other family members. If it's a bacterial infection, such as strep throat, however, your child can reinfect herself with the same germs that got her sick in the first place. In that case, tossing the toothbrush protects both your child and the rest of your family.
18. Banish secondhand smoke: If you or your spouse smokes, quit. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 toxins, most of which can irritate or kill cells in the body, says Beverly Kingsley, Ph.D., an epidemiologist with the Office on Smoking and Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta. Kids are more susceptible than adults to the harmful effects of secondhand smoke because they breathe at a faster rate; a child's natural detoxification system is also less developed. Secondhand smoke increases a child's risk of SIDS, bronchitis, ear infections, and asthma. It may also affect intelligence and neurological development. If you absolutely can't quit smoking, you can reduce your child's health risks considerably by smoking only outside the house, Dr. Kingsley says.
19. Don't pressure your pediatrician: Urging your pediatrician to write a prescription for an antibiotic whenever your child has a cold, flu, or sore throat is a bad idea. Antibiotics treat only illnesses caused by bacteria, "but the majority of childhood illnesses are caused by viruses," says Howard Bauchner, M.D., a professor of pediatrics and public health at the Boston University School of Medicine.
Studies show, however, that many pediatricians prescribe antibiotics somewhat reluctantly at the urging of parents who mistakenly think it can't hurt. In fact, it can. Strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have flourished as a result, and a simple ear infection is more difficult to cure if it's caused by stubborn bacteria that don't respond to standard treatment. Whenever your child's pediatrician wants to prescribe an antibiotic, make sure she isn't prescribing it solely because she thinks you want it. "I strongly encourage parents to say, 'Do you think it's really necessary?' " Dr. Bauchner says.

Dear friends, we continue to acquaint you with remarkable places of the French capital visiting which can interest you during your stay in this remarkable city on the Seine.
And this time on turn is Manufacture Royale des Gobelins (the Parisian Royal manufactory of gobelins). Carpets and gobelins are still produced nowadays in this place. However the suppressing majority of them is issued on the basis of modern sketches corresponding to fashionable tendencies.
In general, the notion "gobelin" has appeared in use in the seventeenth century when brothers with the same surname the Gobelin have based the Royal manufactory in Paris and the production has received the corresponding name. Gille Gobelin which was a dyer by trade became the first representative of this "gobelin" dynasty moved in Paris from Rheims. This person has opened the dye workshop for wool which in a consequence (in the sixteenth century) has been added by its descendants of a weaver's workshop which used to have great popularity in France at that times.
During his reign the king Louis XIV (the known dandy and the judge of all fine arts) had got the dye works and the weaver's workshop, belonging to the family of Gobelins. And the Royal Gobelin workshop was born. Considerable means from royal treasury have been allocated in the development and modernization of the manufacture. The manufactory has begun production of magnificent gobelins which were intended for use exclusively in royal apartments. They were exposed on sale extremely seldom as because of the status of the manufactory cost of gobelins was extremely high and very few people presumed to get themselves these products. Besides decorating the palaces of monarchs gobelins of this manufactory were often given to kings of the friendly states. As gobelins from the royal manufactory were appreciated very highly, to receive them as a gift was considered very honorable, and only few could receive similar honor.
The big money resources (thus the factory practically never brought profits) were always spent for the manufactory maintenance; it continued to be financed from royal treasury, and later from the Republic budget. The enterprise has managed to be kept afloat at all governments at various times without any exception.
Today the Royal Gobelin manufactory is not a usual factory; it represents unique historical art establishment, property and pride of the nation. The proprietor of the manufactory since 1937 is "Mobile National" company.
If you have decided to go with excursion to the Parisian Royal Gobelin manufactory, excellent impressions are guaranteed to you.
The manufactory is near to metro station Les Gobelins, the address: 42 Avenue des Gobelins 75013 Paris.

BREAKING: Israel SLASHES Funding…
Israel finally stands up to the United Nations.
BPR reports:
In response to last month's United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an end to Jewish settlements within alleged Palestinian territories, Israel has announced plans to suspend an estimated $6 million in funding to the U.N.
The cut to Israel's $40 million annual contribution to the United Nations represented the portion of the UN budget allocated to four committees on Palestinian issues, the Israeli mission said.
Those committees include the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the Division for Palestinian Rights, the Work of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories, and the Special Information Program on the Question of Palestine of the U.N. Department of Public Information.
Israel has officially set a precedence for the United States to cut funding from the U.N. — and it's about time. It's been nothing but a globalist get-together, where destructive agendas are created and propagated.
The United Nations needs to go.
