About Brittany
For carbon-conscious Brits, wary of spending too much on travel in the current economic climate, holidaying close to home has rarely seemed more appealing. Easy to get to from the UK, Brittany has ferry ports at Roscoff in the west, St-Malo in the east, and Normandy's ports close by as well. The Hotel Guru's picks of the best places to stay in Brittany offer something for everyone from chic B&Bs to seaside hotels to historic manoirs.
Things not to miss:
- With its long coastline of sweeping beaches, rocky headlands, estuaries and inlets, Brittany has much in common with Cornwall, and the Breton people, like the Cornish, can trace their ancestry back to the Celts.
- In the North, glorious sandy beaches dot the Côte d'Emeraude and the Côte de Granit Rose, interrupted by bustling seaside resorts (Dinard is a chic option and just a short drive from St Malo), fishing villages and oysterbeds.
- Inland, the region also has much to offer, from the hilly, forested Parc Naturel Régional d'Armorique to the more serene wooded valleys of the south.
- Families in search of bucket-and-spade country have also long favoured the fine, slowly-shelving beaches along the Golfe de Morbihan and the Côte d'Amour on the gentler southern shore, and the majority of our picks of the best places to stay in Brittany can be found here.
- La Baule has long been a favourite, due to its vast sandy beach that stretches for an incredible 12 kilometres!
- Once capital of the region, Nantes is now a thriving cultural hub and a good option for those who like a buzzing atmosphere to accompany their coastal holiday.
- Vannes is another town to consider, with its beautiful medieval centre and port, and from here you can catch the ferry to Belle Ile en Mer, a charming island in the Golfe de Morbihan that the French have been trying to keep to themselves!
Windswept but picturesque fishing communities nestle in the wild, dramatic landscape of Finistère in the west, where you can sample some of the best of Brittany's famous seafood and some of the best places to stay in Brittany.

Clinton poised to take insurmountable lead in Super Tuesday vote
Hillary Clinton is poised to have one of the biggest nights of her career.
Clinton could sweep up enough delegates Tuesday to give her an all-but-insurmountable lead for the Democratic presidential nomination over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. The 11 states holding contests put about a third of the required delegates on the table.
Precincts are scheduled to close at 7 p.m. Eastern time in Georgia and Virginia, where surveys have showed Clinton with an overwhelming advantage, as well as in Sanders's home state of Vermont. Voting ends an hour later in Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee and most of Texas, with results rolling in later from the Democratic contests in Arkansas, Minnesota and Colorado.
More from Bloomberg.com: Republicans to Target Clinton Aides After Last E-Mail Drop
Clinton has dominated the race since Sanders essentially tied her in the Iowa caucuses Feb. 1 and defeated her by more than 22 percentage points a week later in New Hampshire. She won the Nevada caucuses Feb. 20 in the first test in a state with a large minority population, and won the South Carolina primary Feb. 27 by almost 48 percentage points.
Southern States
After winning 86 percent of the black vote in South Carolina, Clinton is expected to dominate contests in Southern states with a similar electorate. In Georgia and Alabama, for example, more than half of the Democratic vote in 2008 was black, according to exit polls.
More from Bloomberg.com: Angry Americans: How the 2008 Crash Fueled a Political Rebellion
In recent interviews, Sanders has said he expects to win Vermont and hopes to do well in the primaries in Massachusetts and Oklahoma, as well as the caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado, where he's made several stops in the past two weeks. Speaking to reporters Monday night, Sanders also said he expects to do better than expected in Texas, the state with the most delegates at stake.
Starting Ahead
Yet Clinton starts with a lead in delegates. Because they are awarded in Super Tuesday states on a proportional basis based on vote percentages, even a Sanders victory in some states won't narrow the delegate gap if the races are close, said Joe Trippi, a Democratic strategist who isn't aligned with either candidate.
More from Bloomberg.com: Buffett Fires Lucky-to-Be-American Letter at Politicians
"It's going to be a really bad night for Sanders," Trippi said.
Clinton can effectively secure the nomination as soon as the results from Super Tuesday are in, and certainly no later than mid-March, said Jeff Berman, the campaign's consultant for delegate strategy.
Berman helped Barack Obama beat Clinton with delegate math in the 2008 race. After serving as first lady to a popular Democratic president and as a senator from New York, Clinton was the favorite, only to be overtaken by Obama's insurgent campaign. Clinton entered this year's race having learned the lesson of not taking her opponent -- or any individual contest -- for granted.
States in which Clinton is expected to do well Tuesday are worth 571 delegates combined. By comparison, Colorado and Minnesota, two states with caucuses where Sanders could prevail, have only 143 together. Massachusetts has 91 delegates, Oklahoma 38 and Sanders' home state of Vermont has only 16.

Clinton also has an advantage among the party's 712 so-called superdelegates, a mix of elected officials and party leaders who are free to back whom they like and change their loyalties.
"A realist could well feel after Super Tuesday that Sanders won't be able to catch up," Berman said.
Sanders, a self-professed socialist, vowed Tuesday to campaign all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July, relying on a message about an economy rigged to favor the rich.
"We are very proud of what are doing, we're proud of what we're going to continue to do," Sanders told voters early Tuesday morning as he and his wife, Jane, voted in Burlington. "If there is a larger voter turnout today across this country we are going to do well. If not, we're probably going to be struggling."
While Clinton has said she is still focused on Sanders, she has begun to turn her focus to Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
"If I'm fortunate enough to be the Democratic nominee, the sooner the better," Clinton said Tuesday on the Tom Joyner radio show. "The sooner we can turn our attention to what the Republicans stand for and what they're saying and their bigotry. We've got to get into it and we've got to make sure that we don't let that happen to our country."
Carrie Kennedy, a 59-year-old independent in Austin, Texas, said she made a last-minute decision to vote for Clinton today after previously planning to vote for Trump because "he says what a lot of people want to say." She was turned off by Trump's initial failure to repudiate the support of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in a weekend interview, she said.
"I didn't like the mud-slinging by the Republican candidates," she said. "Some of it is getting into the sewage. It's really distasteful."
Sanders has invested staff resources in states and continues to draw large crowds, including 6,500 on Sunday in the university town of Fort Collins. He's also managed to keep drawing contributions. His campaign said Tuesday that he raised $42 million in February, about double the amount he took in the week before. By comparison, Clinton raised $14.9 million in January. Her campaign hasn't released figures for February.
To keep pace, Sanders spent $6 million on broadcast TV and national cable commercials during the past week, compared with $7.7 million by Clinton, according to data Tuesday from Kantar Media's CMAG, which tracks political ads.
But with non-white voters accounting for more than 40 percent of the Democratic electorate in states voting after the initial nominating contests, Sanders hasn't shown he can appeal to minorities, said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic strategist in Washington who was deputy campaign manager for presidential candidate John Kerry and is backing Clinton.
The former secretary of state has relied on her longstanding ties to the black community, lingering goodwill from the economic advances during her husband's presidency and a strong pitch that she would carry on the initiatives of Obama, the first black chief executive.
"I do not see any evidence that Sanders has figured out how to break her lock on African-American voters,'' Elmendorf said.

Level the playing field against
any attacker of any size.
A martial artist who relies on feet and hands can still be defeated when faced with an opponent much larger than he is. Brute strength is a difficult thing to conquer.
However, a knife levels the playing field. When you know how to use it just right, it makes you as powerful - if not more so - than a larger opponent.
You can keep yourself and your loved ones safe from harm.

The Munsey Award
Every year, PulpFest recognizes the efforts of those who work to keep the pulps alive for this and future generations through its Munsey Award (pictured at left). Named after Frank A. Munsey, the man who published the first pulp magazine, this annual award recognizes an individual who has given of himself or herself for the betterment of the pulp community, be it through disseminating knowledge about the pulps or through publishing or other efforts to preserve and to foster interest in the pulp magazines we all love and enjoy. Nominations for the 2015 Munsey are now being accepted. All members of the pulp community, whether they plan to attend PulpFest 2015 or not, are welcome to nominate a deserving person for this year's award.
You can also nominate someone for the Rusty Hevelin Service Award. Initiated in 2012, this award is designed to recognize those persons who have worked long and hard for the pulp community with little thought for individual recognition. It is meant to reward especially good works, and is thus reserved for only those individuals who are most deserving.
Last year's winners were J. Randolph Cox, who received the 2014 Munsey Award and J. Barry Traylor, recipient of the 2014 Rusty Hevelin Service Award. You can read about both gentleman by clicking here.
If you have someone in mind that you feel worthy to receive either of these prestigious awards, please let us know. All members of the pulp community, excepting past winners of the Munsey, Hevelin, or Lamont Awards (which had been awarded by Pulpcon), are eligible. Please send the person's name and a brief paragraph describing why you feel that person should be honored to Mike Chomko, 2217 W. Fairview Street, Allentown, PA 18104-6542 or to firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for nominations is May 31, 2015. The recipient of the Munsey and/or Rusty Hevelin Service Award will be selected by a panel of judges consisting of recognized experts in the pulp field. The award will be presented on August 15th, during the convention's evening programming.
The Munsey Award was created by artist David Saunders, the son of legendary illustrator Norman Saunders. Dan Zimmer of The Illustrated Press and publisher of Illustration Magazine has produced a limited edition of thirty-six numbered and signed prints. The PulpFest Committee is indebted to both David and Dan for their generous support of our convention.

Digital marketing leader Bradshaw offers canny tips for Christmas
CHRISTMAS is such a highly competitive time of year for businesses – and for some it can be make-or-break – that often the 'busyness' of the season causes some to let their marketing drift.
Sponsored Linx founder and CEO Ben Bradshaw said overlooking marketing at this time of year is a risk that can carry over into next year's performance.
"Slowing down the natural momentum of marketing of your business over Christmas, simply because it's the holiday season, is a very dangerous attitude to possess," Mr Bradshaw said.
He advocates upping the tempo through social media marketing over Christmas.
"Be visible and connect with your clients in your Christmas digital marketing," Mr Bradshaw said. "To stand out, be personal and use video."
A large majority of customers who 'leave' brands do so because they feel the brand has been indifferent toward them, according to Mr Bradshaw.
"What's more personal, and retention-focused, than a tailored 'Christmas wishes' video sent to your most engaged connections or customers?" he asked.Mr Bradshaw has named video as the type of content with the highest return on investment (ROI). Some of his clients have had Christmas videos sent to hundreds of people via social media, each one including a different name or message.
"Video is becoming a key marketing tool for businesses of all sizes," Mr Bradshaw said.
"At SponsoredLinx we recommend continuation of online marketing and advertising during December when competitors are often putting their businesses on hold. Cost per click is cheaper and impression shares are higher which means that campaigns are gaining greater exposure at a cheaper rate.
"Looking from the bottom-line, as we all obsessively do, it means that your cost-per-acquisition will fall during the December period," he said.
"Never forget that January is the month when everyone returns to work. Businesses across all industries often view January as a slow month, as sales departments start to re-arm their war chests again and undertake active fulfilment of their leads and sales pipelines during the festive season. This allows businesses to transition back into full operation seamlessly without any downtime or quiet period.
"We have found some small business owners quite often find it difficult to make a clear distinction between themselves and their own business as separate entities. Simply because the business owner is going on holiday does not necessarily translate to the business being placed on hiatus – nor should it.
"From a technical point of view within pay-per-click advertising, business accounts that are using these services can actually go backwards if they are frozen. All of that hard-work and money spent on getting these accounts into money-making machines can be placed into jeopardy by simply succumbing to the urge of implementing a pause on the account," Mr Bradshaw said.
"There's absolutely no problem trying to save some money while maintaining and even increasing your exposure. You may be able to even drop bids on expensive keywords without harming your exposure.
"Businesses should never see Christmas as a time to close up shop. View it as a lucrative opportunity to accelerate your business ahead of the pack, and get the New Year off to a successful start," Mr Bradshaw said.

Epigraphy Classes concluded.
The 3rd batch for Tamil Epigraphy taught by Shri S Ramachandran and the first batch of Grantha taught by Shri Vinod Rajan concluded in Jan 2012.

If you find that you need to brush up on your speed typing but also need to let out a bit of pent up aggression, then you need to play the Sesame Street Fighter game.
Sesame Street Fighter is an HTML5 game that you can play online in your web browser. To begin, just choose which character you would like to play as, however each character has different difficulty settings. The game works by having you type the word that appears on the screen as fast as you can. If you do it before your opponent, you'll deal damage to them.
While the idea of the game is simple enough, it is its execution that makes the game worthy of praise. The Sesame Street Fighter is a beautifully designed mashup of two very different properties.

"Valley of One Thousand Hills" was commissioned for Jonathan Liebesman in 2017 to mark his birthday, and is inspired by a quote from Nelson Mandela's autobiography:
"After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb."
This papercut is about life as a journey, about finding one's place and mission, and a way to connect to the world. It's about the need to be doing good, important work — and that there's always more to be done. The landscape includes the distinctive quiver tree (indigenous to South Africa) and the rolling patchwork hills of the Valley of One Thousand Hills, from which it takes its name.
|Mandela gazing out over the landscape, an excerpt from X-Men #76 (June 1998),
and text from D'varim (Deuteronomy) 11:11
Hills have significance to the Jewish tradition as well. The city of Jerusalem is said to have been built on seven hills; in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 11:11 we read, "The land into which you go is a land of hills and valleys and drinks water of the rain of heaven."
|Loki riding across the hills, with Raphael looking on.
The background elements all come from Jonathan's journey so far: South Africa and Mandela (from the 2009 Nelson Mandela: The Authorized Comic Book), and also the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Wars, Loki and more.

Handling Caregiving Legal Issues
Legal Issues to Discuss with Caree When Stepping In As A Caregiver
Sometimes, when you step in as a caregiver, you jump in as a result of injury or illness and there isn't time to stop and get organized. It can be hard to decide when to step in as a caregiver and when to have the uncomfortable conversations about your parent's wishes. Many times, we think we have a lot of time. Even if you think it, and hopefully you're right, there's nothing wrong with getting legal caregiving issues out of the way early.
I recently spoke to a neighbor whose mom has lived with her for several years. Up until a few weeks ago, her mom was very active and appeared healthy. In fact, I saw her the week before she was hospitalized and she was telling me she was worried about her daughter because she wasn't taking care of herself. She looked fine.
Cut to a week later and she was in the hospital being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Her health went downhill very quickly. My neighbor was so frustrated because in all the years her mother had lived with her, they never got around to handling legal issues. What did that mean? It meant that she couldn't call her mother's doctor with questions. She also couldn't make changes to some of her mom's bills or handle banking issues while mom was in the hospital.
I also have a friend who was caring for a very sick father. Somehow, even with all of the hospitalizations and health scares, they had never stopped to have a conversation about legal and insurance issues surrounding her father's home. In fact, when her father was hospitalized the final time, she couldn't locate his DNR (do not resuscitate) before he was taken to the hospital, which complicated issues and caused her great stress.
I'm not sharing these stories to scare you. I'm sharing them to show how easy it is to bypass all of the important legal caregiving issues and just do what needs to be done. The problem is, if your parent becomes too ill or not of sound mind to make an important decision, you may not be able to speak for them. Or, you and your siblings may have conflicting opinions which can lead to stress and conflict. Handling the legal issues early takes away some of the stress that goes with advocating for your aging parent.
Important Caregiving Legal Issues To Handle
If you aren't even sure where to start when handling legal caregiving issues, here are some important topics you should address with your caree. I'm not a lawyer, so I highly recommend setting up an appointment with a family lawyer and all involved parties to make sure you are making all of the right decisions for your family. You can also check out the toolkit for healthcare planning on the American Bar Association website.
- Living Will: A living will or Healthcare Power of Attorney should spell out your loved one's wishes, such as when life-sustaining treatment should be stopped.
- Power of Attorney: This document gives a person (caree) an opportunity to authorize an agent (usually a trusted family member or friend) to make legal decisions when he or she is no longer competent. There is no standard Power of Attorney so each one is tailored to a person's specific needs. Be sure that you and your caree are on the same page about the parameters of the Power of Attorney. You will need to provide copies of the document to businesses and organizations that the Power of Attorney affects.
- Durable Power of Attorney or Healthcare Proxy: This document appoints a person to make all decisions regarding healthcare, including choices regarding provider, treatment and end of life decisions. This means that the Proxy may authorize or refuse medical treatment. This power only goes into effect once the principal is unable to make decisions for him/herself and is activated by the principal's attending physician.
- Living Trust: This document enables a person to create a trust and appoint a trustee to carefully manage trust assets once the grantor is no longer able to manage finances. A person can choose an individual or financial institution to be the trustee.
- Will: A will is a document created by a person that names an executor to manage the estate and beneficiaries (those who will receive the estate at the time of the person's death).
And while this isn't a legal issue, in these times of social media, you probably want to also have access to your parent's Facebook or Twitter accounts if they are interested in having updates shared with their online community.
While legal issues are not a fun discussion to have with your loved ones, it is critical that you have the discussion before your loved one is ill or unable to make decisions on his/her own. Ideally, the discussion should be had as a family, with all interested parties involved. You never want to be put in the position where a sibling insinuates that a parent was coaxed into making a specific decision.
Unfortunately, when it comes to finances, healthcare and estates, old family issues come up. Rivalries can be renewed, particularly if you and a sibling have differing opinions on a parent's healthcare or finances.
This is why it is best to have these conversations as a group, while your parent is able to make his/her wishes known. You may even want to bring in a third party to witness the discussion so there are no questions after the fact. If you are at a loss for who to bring in, consider hiring a mediator, geriatric care manager or even a clergy member.
Don't put off these important legal discussions because you anticipate it won't go well with your family members. It is worth the hassle now to avoid the conflict when you really need to make important decisions.

Summer Academy
Summer Program Helped Students Improve Math Skills, Adjust to High School
August 21, 2014
Almost 200 eighth grade graduates from Districts 171, 158, 157, 156, 155, and 154.5 participated in District 215's inaugural "Summer Academy Transition to High School" program this summer. Many of these incoming freshman students raised their math scores by as many as 5 percentage points or more on the Common Core based-Explore test. Nearly all of the students that participated in the program earned a half credit toward graduation.
District 215's five-week "Summer Academy" program, which launched this summer, was designed to help incoming ninth graders struggling with math boost their skills. In addition to math courses, students also received instruction in other subjects including art, physical fitness, technology, and career development.
One of the instructors, TF South math teacher La Quesha Martin, noted that the program was a "rewarding experience" for her as an educator. Martin further explained that the program was "beneficial" for students as they "embraced a new confidence in math that will be spread across the other classes they will take this fall."
According to Mike Fies, Executive Director of Curriculum & Instruction, and Professional Development, the gains students achieved in their math performance are a testament to the dedication and hard work of the instructors and the students themselves. Fies pointed out that all of the students in the program were excited to be participating. In fact, many students said they enjoyed their classes and were excited to prepare for high school life before classes officially started in the fall.
Superintendent Dr. Creg E. Williams spearheaded efforts to implement the "Summer Academy" program because of a recognized need to ensure that more students start school prepared to begin high school algebra. Williams said, "The success of this program is due in no small part to the work of my administrative team and superintendents from our feeder school districts." He indicated that District 215 has been working with Districts 171, 158, 157, 156, 155, and 154.5 to align curriculum to prepare middle school-aged children for high school.

It sounds like the lining of your womb is falling out to form another one, this is normal after or during a period, but it could be the fact that the lining of your womb is falling out to form a new one to support a baby? do a pregnancy test and if it is negative then it will be due to either stress, or if you are a drinker, then maybe this could affect your stomache. If not then get checked for STDS. please do not let this worry you, see a doctor, it could be a number of things. hope this helps.
