National High School Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Bulua National High School is a leader high school in legislative District 1, located at Barangay Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City which was governed and funded with the Barangay Officials spearheaded by Pedro P. Legaspi. It was in 1970 when the secondary education, Bulua Barrio High School came to an open with two sections in the First year level and the Second year level was opened on the following year until the 4-year high school level was completed. The school was temporarily located at the compound of Bulua Elementary School campus in which they called as squatters.
They did not have their permanent classrooms to be used. Sometimes classes were being held under the shades of the Mango and Butterfly trees. They also conduct night classes just to accommodate working students from the neighboring Barangays. Each enrollee was still entitled to pay 10. 00 pesos for the freshmen, 15. 00 pesos for the sophomores, 20. 00 pesos for the juniors and 25. 00 pesos for the seniors every month. The fees were received by the hands of the Barangay treasurer. The school was facilitated with 10 teachers and 1 school in-charge only.
It was then in 1985 that BBHS became the PILOT SCHOOL of the 1989 Secondary Education Curriculum headed by its school principal Mrs. Enriqueta C. Pabelic. Year after, BBHS became Bulua National High School (BNHS) which was funded already direct from the National Level under the late President Cory Aquino's administration. Presently, BNHS is located in its owned 1. 4 hectare approximately lot donated by the late Congressman Pedro Oloy Roa through the joint effort of Barangay Chairman Pedro P. Legaspi and the late DECS – Division P. E Supervisor, Mr.
Bernabe Pabellic for its lot acquisition. Introduction The Library Hub is a program by the Department of Education aiming to address the lack of public libraries across the countries by setting up the library hubs. Library Hub is a novel and unique structure in the Philippines educational system, whereby an infrastructure and new reading materials made possible through collaborative partnerships with stakeholders are provided to public school students for free. To date, DepEd has set up about 50 Library Hubs in a very short span of time throughout the country.
These Hubs will be servicing thousands of public schools. Books were placed in plastics. The Library Hubs are housed in existing buildings with an area of at least 250 to 300 square meters. A Library Hub is run by a librarian, library clerk, and utility staff and functions as a book warehouse for public schools in a given district. Each Hub lends books to its designated schools, which in turn lend the books to their students. The provision of reading books for free in the hub is not only for public schools but ALS, SPED, barangay centers, etc.
It also serves as a "wholesale" library exclusively servicing elementary/secondary schools within a division. The hubs operate warehouse style, compared to the traditional public library setup–instead of books being individually placed on shelves; they are stored in plastic bins for storage. These bins would then be checked out and brought by teachers and administrators of public schools to their respective public schools, to be returned after twenty-five days. While at the school, these books can be borrowed–or even brought home–by the students until the books are to be returned to the hub.
Launched in 2003 by then undersecretary Juan Miguel Luz, the project has now set up library hubs in 32 school divisions all over the country, for a total of around 145 hubs built since 2004. The hubs are financed by both the public and private sector, with major donors having the option to name the hubs whichever way they like. 1. Background of the study The use of computers and various programs are being developed for that certain desire to be done in a short period of time. Manual System for a Library Hub is quite a difficult task to perform.
It takes a long period of time in locating and monitoring the availability of the books and can have the tendencies of missing files. That's why we created this Computerized Library Hub System in order to solve that problem. Our Computerized Library Hub System is a program that is use to update the information about a certain record of books. It allows adding book information immediately and it only takes minutes to search a specific book. It lessens the possibility of missing files unlike the manual system. This system can be able to monitor automatically where, when or who borrowed a book.
It also gives more accuracy in processing any transactions. Besides of that, it can help a librarian to work much easier and faster than a manual system. 2. Statement of the Research Problem * A licensed librarian is one of the major concerned problem of Bulua National High School Library Hub. Since they have a what they called "Acting Librarian" who was also a full time teacher in the school. It takes a long period of time for her to organized the books especially in putting accession number in it and log it in her module.
Another concerned is that the books in the library hub has not been arranged in dewey decimal classification which is the main reason why the personnel in-charge and the students has the difficulty in locating the book and to check its availability. * There's a possibility that the library hub may encounter following problems such loss of records, repetition of data entry and other important details about the books and the one who borrow the book. * How do they record the books? The students will fill a borrower's card before they can get the book they want to borrow.
Then afterwards the in-charge will log the list of the book that has been used or borrowed in the end of the day in the manual notebook. Unfortunately there are times that the in-charge can't be able to log or record the borrowed books in the manual notebook. * How do the students know if the books are still available? Knowing that the school don't have a Dewey Decimal Classification in their books, students have difficulties in searching the specific book and it takes too long for them to wait for the librarian to check unto the logbook whether the book is still available or being borrowed.
3. Statement of Objectives 3. 1General Objectives This project aims to propose and develop a well-structured and computerized library hub system to help the library hub's transactions easier, more effective and efficient. 3. 2Specific Objectives * To lessen the burden of the user in handling the day by day transactions. * To lessen the possibility of missing files. * To make the process of updating the books efficient and can be done in a short period of time.

Even with a state budget increase for K-12 of some $167 million, with a 2 percent pay increase incentive intended for returning teachers over the next two years, as well as $318 million from Proposition 123, advocates and area educational professionals say more needs to be done. AZ Schools Now, a leading public education advocacy organization, released its legislative report card that condemns those voting in favor of bills its leaders suggest do not bolster educational efforts, including the vote for the current budget that increased teacher pay but not enough to reduce shortages and the expansion of vouchers that enable parents to use tax dollars to afford private schools. For a full report, visit the link: https://azschoolsnow.org/2017-voting-records/
A leading, state-wide education advocacy organization, AZ Schools Now, laments that state lawmakers, including the Prescott region's delegation, voted for bills that they suggest do not adequately support public education.

Health insurance is an insurance against the risk of incurring medical expenses among individuals. The insurer can develop a routine finance structure, such as the monthly premium or payroll tax, to ensure that money is available to pay for the health care benefits specified in the insurance agreement. According to the Health Insurance Association of America, health insurance is "coverage that provided for the payments of benefits as a result of sickness or injury. Includes insurance for losses from accident, medical expense, disability, or accidental death and dismemberment."
For Philippine income tax purposes, premium payments on health and hospitalization insurance may be deducted from the gross compensation income or the gross business/professional income of a family of a resident citizen, non-resident citizen, and resident alien. Health and hospitalization payments are deductible only in the following conditions that must be encountered:
1. The insurance shall be taken by the individual taxpayer himself for his family;
2. The amount being claimed shall not exceed P2,400.00 a year or P200.00 a month per family;
3. The family has a gross income of P250,000.00 or less for the taxable year.
The total family income includes primary income and other income from sources received by all members of the family. For married taxpayers, only the wife or the husband entitled to claim for additional exemption for dependents is allowed this deduction.
Any other type of insurance tends to be out of the running for a deduction, even if it is not clearly related to getting sick includes life insurance policies; policies providing payment for loss of earnings (disability insurance); policies that pay for loss of limb or sight; policies that pay a guaranteed amount each week for a stated number of weeks if hospitalized for sickness or injury; the part of car insurance premiums that provides medical insurance coverage for all persons injured in or by the car, because the part of the premium for, the spouse and the dependents is not stated separately from the part of the premium for medical care for others.
Sample Problem: Health and Hospitalization Insurance
Angel, a single mother, is a government employee who earns a monthly gross compensation income of P18,000. Effective, January 1, 2017, she took a hospitalization insurance for her and her 3 year old son. She right away paid the annual premium of P2,400.However, had she opted to pay this premium monthly, an additional P50.00 pesos per month is charge. How much is the deduction for the health and hospitalization premiums?

Sleep Deprivation Treatment
People who live in a stressful and busy environment often suffer from sleeping disorders. In such a case sleep deprivation treatment must be seriously considered. What exactly is sleep deprivation? It is a situation where in the body doesn't get sufficient sleep, it is a condition that anyone can experience, even children. Too much workload, a busy social life, anxiety and stress can affect sleeping patterns which can result in sleep deprivation.
Some of the examples of sleep disorders are restlessness, snoring, insomnia and sleep apnea. As a solution, people find ways to treat this condition, sleep deprivation treatment must be appropriate to the type of sleep disorder an individual experiences. Whether it is psychological or physical, it must be determined distinctly in order to apply the most beneficial solution.
What are the Available Sleep Deprivation Treatments?
Once a patient experiences sleep deprivation symptoms like, irritability, memory loss, appetite changes, poor concentration, uneasiness and slow reaction, the immediate action is to find a sleep deprivation treatment. Sudden or unusual change in a person's sleeping habit is a sign that they need to seek professional help.
Here are some of common treatments:
- Sound therapy – via brainwave entertainment is in a form of a CD wherein the sound emitted resemble a person's brain waves, the rhythm is less erratic which calms and promote relaxation. It is safe to use, there's no risk of dependency and long term drawbacks.
- Bright-light treatment – a form of therapy that exposes an individual's eyes to intense but safe amounts of light, tested on soldiers (30 minutes per day)who came back from the battle.
- Diet change – cut down caffeine products such as alcohol, smoking and soda
- Enrolling in exercise programs – studies show that people who exercise sleep better, the body needs to move around every once in a while.
Treatment for Sleep Deprived Sleep Apnea Persons
In those cases where sleep deprivation is due to sleep apnea modern technology has provided a solution using CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It is a device specifically designed to provide compressed air with enough pressure (titrated pressure) which is sufficient to induce normal breathing. CPAP is an apparatus composed of a machine, air outlet similar to a mask placed on the face and air path that is directly leading to nostrils. Modern CPAPs come in convenient forms like pillows to promote better sleep.
Why Sleep Deprivation Must Never be Neglected?
Prevention is better than cure, why suffer from sleep deprivation effects when you can do something about this? If neglected, it can lead to serious complications; some of the sleep deprivation effects can affect an individual's physical and mental capabilities. Most of the time, they find themselves having difficulty in staying awake, often drowsy and nodding off.
Sleep deprivation slows down the mental awareness, response, memory loss and sharpness of thoughts. Reflexes are delayed which result to clumsiness, others experience fainting, headaches and nausea, the body is more prone to sickness because of weak immune system. Some are moody, irritable and cannot focus, this clearly indicates that the effects are not good and can even bring danger to an individual. Although this can be felt by everyone, there are certain levels that will determine if you are suffering from sleep disorder and in need of a sleep deprivation treatment.

Chennai Super Kings made as many as 4 changes, separated a successful opening mixture, gave the brand new ball to 2 debutants, noticed their frontline legspinner watch the others bowl and but walked home to their sixth win and the highest spot on the halfway mark of the event. The vanquishing of Delhi Daredevils on Monday wasn't down to only these elements though.
Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals-IPL 32nd Match-Ball By Ball-Today Match Prediction
Two event stalwarts – Shane Watson and MS Dhoni – blitzed their approach to half-centuries, together accounting for 129 of Super Kings' 211 for four after being put in to bat. This was 13 too many for Daredevils, despite contrasting half-centuries from Rishabh Pant and Vijay Shankar. They slumped to their sixth loss in eight matches, with a playoff berth more and more trying distant.
Dhoni's balls per boundary in opposition to the brief ball this season is three.three, among the many greatest. 9 balls into his innings – he got here in to bat within the 14th over – he obtained the primary brief ball from Boult. Dhoni's ferocious bat velocity allowed him to swat that for six. Then Boult went full, however it did not make a distinction as Dhoni's robust bottom-handed whip despatched the ball hovering over long-on. The over would value Daredevils 21, and can be the set off for an additional explosive end. Dhoni would bludgeon two extra full tosses to complete with 5 sixes and a 22-ball half-century laced with some luck: Colin Munro put down a sitter at deep midwicket when Dhoni was on 31.

Not everyone fears a recession.
While an economic slowdown is bad news for retailers, developers and virtually anyone in consumer-oriented businesses, it signals good times for the debt-collection industry.
Whether it is pursuing a customer who has filed for U.S. bankruptcy court protection or chasing a deadbeat trying to run away from a debt, the nation's souring economy is sweet music to debt collectors.
As the national economy sinks into a slumbering state of either a recession or depression -- depending on the viewpoint of the economist -- the only struggle debt collectors are having involves getting money from people or companies.
"It never fails," said Paul Schoff, a Bethlehem lawyer who specializes in collections. "What happens is money starts getting tight and that's when you see business owners trying to collect their accounts receivable. We, accordingly, see an increase in our business."
In the last six months, collection and bankruptcy attorneys have been increasingly busy, he said.
"I've seen more bankruptcy filings in the last six to eight months than in a long time," he said.
Part of the reason is the slumping real estate market, although the downturn in the economy as a whole is a big factor, Schoff said.
As a result, bankruptcy is currently one of the thriving areas in the legal profession, he said.
Fred Smith, an attorney in Raleigh, N.C., and former president of the Commerical Law League of America, said he has noticed a substantial increase in collections claims in the past year.
But the claims are not as collectable because people don't have the money, he said.
"We do get more clients and we may end up making more money, but we end up working harder for it," Smith said. "In the past year, business has been up, but net dollars haven't gone up that much."
The 6,000-member league is made up of attorneys and collection agencies who deal with debtor-creditor relationships and represent creditor interests, he said.
Les Kirschbaum, president of the Glenview, Ill.-based Mid-Continent Agencies Inc., said the collections agency has had a dramatic increase in the volume of collections since August.
But the agency has been having trouble collecting the debts, he said, partly because more companies are going out of business.
Jon Saltzman, owner of Saltzman Law Offices in Allentown, said bankruptcies in the Lehigh Valley have been occuring at an alarming rate in the last month.
In the past, personal bankruptcies were a result of financial mismanagement, he said. But now, they are a direct result of the economy, he said.
"It's going to be a very sad recession for the middle class," Saltzman said. "The Lehigh Valley feels the crunch even before the entire nation does. The economy here is a little soft to begin with."
Bankruptcies nationwide are on the rise. According to Dun and Bradstreet Corp., a marketer of business information with data-collection operations in the Lehigh Valley, business failures during the first nine months of the year increased 15.2 percent to 43,612, up from 37,866 for the same period a year ago.
Numbers are on the rise in Eastern Pennsylvania as well. There were about 1,000 more bankruptcies this year than in 1989, according to Frances Smith, public affairs vice president for the American Financial Services Association in Washington, D.C.
Areas with an increase in bankruptcies should view the trend as one indicator that there may be a local problem with the economy as well, she said.
When money is tight, people tend to rely more on credit.
Consumers are using credit to maintain the lifestyle they are accustomed to in good times, she said.
As of the end of July, consumers had $727 billion in consumer credit outstanding, compared to $698 billion in July 1989, Smith said. Although more consumers are using credit, the delinquency rate is not up significantly, she said.
"Overall, most consumers seem able to handle their debts very well," she said. "They are looking with caution at large purchases."
Growth in consumer credit has been through the use of credit cards, she said, but it's hard to determine if people are making lower payments or are simply taking on new debts.
Automobile and personal loans have been relatively constant, she said.
Some companies don't see an increase business in hard times, but have a harder time getting clients to pay. So they call in collectors to get the money for them.
Ellis Block, president of Keystone-Block Transportation Co. in Berks County, said that, in the last six months, his company's need for a collector's services has increased dramatically.
Keystone-Block, which provides services in waste transportation, emergency response, underground storage tank removal and brokerage of waste materials, requires that its customers pay a retainer. But often the charges exceed the retainer, which leaves the company shortchanged, he said.
Saltzman said many people are taking out home-equity loans to pay off bills or make purchases they might usually have the cash for. If the economy worsens, some of these people could end up losing their homes, he said.
The demand for home-equity loans increases when the economy is in a slump, said Frank Martelle, assistant vice president and area manager for the New York, New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania offices of the First Union Home Equity Corporation. When people start seeing less cash flow, they frequently tap into their equity to get out of a personal slump, he said.
Doing that is not risky unless the economy slips into a depression, he said.
So far, there hasn't been a big increase in home-equity loans, but Martelle said he expects to see a strong fourth quarter.

Get your LAN computer IP address
This is a small menu hidden in ShixxNOTE program "Send note to" dialog. You can simpy right mouse click on the computer in you LAN and voila you get small menu with two options "Add" to note recipient(s) that computer or you can check selected computer "IP Address". Cool if you want to know which IP address stands under the computer name. On this picture computer namer is OZREN-PC and IP address is 192.168.1.34 ! So people use that feature and have a great summer … Till next post … Kind regards to all ! Ozren Sirola author of the ShixxNOTE program 😉
ShixxNOTE program on Wikipedia
Check popular encyclopedia Wikipedia and you will find ShixxNOTE in it. There is a page with all info about ShixxNOTE program and some images. Also you can find program under many categories on Wikipedia. It is listed in categories Desktop notes, LAN messengers and instant messaging. That is great award for all effort I used as a programmer and developer.
Sending note via NET SEND
Here is example picture of what will recipient receive (which doesn't have ShixxNOTE program installed) if you send him note (computer name or IP address) :
Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista has a special program – Messenger Service – that provides for receiving and sending winpopup-compatible messages. If this service is running, the system will receive messages. The received messages are immediately displayed as simple message boxes. To send messages, you can use any winpopup-compatible messenger and also ShixxNOTE 6.net
Windows XP operating systems have this service. Before SP2 service was started automatically, but after release of SP2 for Windows XP this service has been stopped by default. So when ShixxNOTE 6.net is sending (trying to send) note via NET SEND and recipient doesn't have Messenger Service started he will not receive note text in simple message box. That is why you should have Messenger Service running for NET SEND to successfully send a message.
You can start or stop Messenger Service at any time. And you can also configure it in such a way that it would start automatically at the system startup. There is a special program for controlling all services in the system – Services.
See below the guide on how to launch Messenger Service and configure it to be launched automatically.
Windows XP Professional
- Click Start->Settings ->Control Panel
- Click Administrative Tools
- Click Services
- Double Click Services Scroll
- Scroll down and highlight "Messenger"
- Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties
- Click the Start button
- Select Automatic in the Startup Type scroll bar
- Click OK
To receive messages in Windows 95/98/Me you can use Microsoft Winpopup to receive and send messages. The program is included in the standard distributive package, but you could have failed to install it when you were installing the system.
To install it or to make sure that it is installed:
Windows 95
- Open Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel.
- Select Windows Setup tab.
- Select Accessories and click Details
- Check Winpopup and click Ok
- Click Ok
Windows 98
- Open Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel.
- Select Windows Setup tab.
- Select System Tools and click Details
- Check Winpopup and click Ok
- Click Ok
In ShixxNOTE 6.net recipient list you can insert computer name or IP address of recipient who doesn't have installed ShixxNOTE program. In this case program will use NET SEND command and will send note text to recipient via Messenger Service. Off course if recipient doesn't have Messenger Service started he will not receive nothing and ShixxNOTE will inform sender that note was not delivered.
ShixxNOTE 6.net ready for Windows Vista
So if you have bought Windows Vista you can freely install ShixxNOTE 6.net program on your computer. Program is 100% "Windows Vista ready" and you can be sure it will work.
Set Alarm to note(s)
As you can see from picture above. For this note I set alarm with sound at 14:50 which will be repeated every month on day selected in "Date" text box. If you have more than one note, you can set different alarm settings on each one. After you set and apply alarm settings to note, small alarm icon will appear in note title on left side.
When note alarm you, it will play a sound and will popup in front of all other windows you have on your screen, so you will hear it and see it for sure. Also small alarm icon in title will change color to red.
In note menu you have also "Set Expiration" option. With this you can set when note will expire. When note expire it will be deleted. Dialog settings are similiar with alarm settings.
Regards to all,
Ozren Sirola

Kathmandu – Kolkata, 1 May 2016 – Digital war is waging in few communities and group edging social activities within digital supremacy. People with digital technology are rendering their social calendar with deep meaning of digital mediation nowadays. But, not only few people but also significant people, who are left beyond e-readiness in Nepal, are not still out of range of digital war in Nepal since digital technology is also securing its marks in concurrent politics in Nepal and politic always governs all interest of civic. I found some people on the way of traveling to Kalyani University, Kolkata who symbolically represent those people beyond e-readiness in Nepal but they are also indirectly connected with digital war in their area.
A man, 36, Mahotari, asked me in international airport of Kathmandu, "Please help me to fill up the form of departure information" giving his every immigration documents to me. I found very interesting and needful to help him to fill up the form and I did and I advised him to fill another form as I filled up so that he could be able to fill up the form of his destination – QATAR. Even he was unable to understand what I was writing for him and he was not aware of documents he has. And second case was similar to this case but it is ambiguous.
A man of international airport of Kolkata was helping a girl but he was in confusion of date of birth which was written in Nepalese citizenship. A girl asked me to assist of filling the form. I filled up the form according to her citizenship asking other information required for the form – like contact person, phone numbers of destination. But, she does have even phone number. In addition, I asked purpose of travel to Kolkata. She was in urgent call of her sister who was very seriously sick in Tegharia, nearby international airport of Kolkata – as she replied. She set off for her check-in line and I found she was in diplomate line. She might not know about the line. Officer was talking with her and does not have even passport indeed. As the girl with smile and happy mood was dealing with officer, I was quite surprising seeing with abnormal behavior with rest of the people around airport.
Emerging digital influences at ground level and individual in society is prominently penetrating in such a way that people beyond e-readiness are also bounded blunt of consequences of digital supremacy in reality nowadays in some least countries like in Nepal. Though those two symbolic characters do not have direct connection with digital war going on in Nepalese society using digital media but digital war is going on their own area, culture and dignity.

10 Silly Fun Science Experiments You Can Easily Do at Home
By Casey Chan, Sploid, 13 April 2016.
By Casey Chan, Sploid, 13 April 2016.
Other than youth and recess and summer vacation and nap time and candy and junk food and energy and fast metabolism and hope and excitement and bubbles and being with your friends every single day and first memories and playgrounds and no worries and probably a million other things, one of the things that you miss about being a kid when you're an adult is the lack of silly science experiments. Sometimes you just want to put some food colouring on a plate and make it blow away with some dish soap. You don't want to know the science behind it, you just want to see a volcano explode.
Here's 10 you can easily do at home. Some are legitimately fun, some you've done before, and some are just plain weird.

This Issue Dedicated to Alie Smaalders
October 21, 1923 – March 12, 2018
SHARK REEF Cofounder, Writer, Literary Citizen, Mentor Extraordinaire
By Lorna Reese
This is the story of how SHARK REEF came to be and of the remarkable woman, writer and friend, who modeled what it is to be a writer.
"Writers grow on the trees on Lopez," Alie Smaalders announced to me in our early days together in the late 1990s. It did seem true. Memory is hazy at best but in my mind's eye, I still see fellow writer Laurie Parker and me stopping on the wooden library stepsContinue reading...

If you're still not sure whether you should join Forex Mentor Pro or not, the following testimonials may help you make the right decision.
Following are several testimonials on the Forex Peace Army where Marc Walton's Forex Mentor Pro gets 4.5 out of 5 stars.
If you've never heard of Forex Peace Army, it is an online resource providing company reviews, online discussion boards, as well as a testing program for Forex services. You can look at the company's information on Wikipedia:
Forex Mentor Pro actually has a $1 trial, so if you don't like it at all you can cancel your membership within 14 days. But if you'd like to know what other traders think about this course, here are some reviews from Forex Peace Army:

No Mentoring At All? Are the Materials Updated?
If you've heard somewhere that there is no mentoring at all in Forex Mentor Pro and that the videos in the members area are not updated, here is some explanation for you:
The videos are still very much relevant today, even though they were recorded a while ago. If they still work, then why would you need to change them?
What's most important is that they post a blog post (most come with videos) on every trading day showing you what they intend to trade and why. One user of Forex Peace Army even said that this technical and fundamental analysis from working traders alone is worth 10 times what they currently charge.
Here's the screenshot of the review:
|(click to enlarge)
About the mentoring, you can actually get a one-on-one mentoring, but it is of course separate from the main Forex Mentor Pro course. There are hundreds of other members there, so one-on-one forex mentoring would be impossible.
In fact, the kind of mentoring they offer is that they will answer your questions posted in the members only forums.
They also regularly post comprehensive blog postings. These blogs will reveal some tips of what could happen in the week ahead. According to one of the reviewers on Forex Peace Army, most of the predictions are accurate, and in some cases have resulted in large numbers of pips.
Here's the screenshot of the review:

Treat trading like a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby. Treat it like a business and it will pay you like a business.

Human Rights Project Visit to Belfast
With Causeway Institute, Arab Network for Tolerance, Bahrain Human Rights Watch, Yemeni Observatory For Human Rights
Engi Co-Founder Yeshim Harris attended the Human Rights Project Visit to Belfast in 23 March 2012. The visit aimed to bring the Arab Network for Tolerance (ANT) to Northern Ireland for a series experience exchange seminars. ANT is a forum where activists, academics, media professionals and youth can come together to identify new strategies for improving human rights in the MENA region. The Network was formed in 2008 by the Ramallah Centre for Human Rights Studies (RCHRS) and this study visit was led by the Centre's Director Dr Iyad Bargouthi.
The visit to Belfast was part of a wider programme of activity that CIPCR is undertaking in partnership with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD). This involves working with the RCHRS and ANT to build their capacity and capability in order to enable them to be more effective in their own countries and across the Middle East region.
The programme was specifically aimed at the higher level of engagement. Delegates met and were briefed by some of the key players in the Northern Ireland peace process, past and present. These included former and serving Human Rights commissioners; the Chief Executive of the Equality Commission; the Victims Commission; the Police Ombudsman and the Policing Board as well as the leadership of the PSNI. Delegates also visited a number of community groups who are working across the sectarian interface in Belfast to deliver comprehensive programmes focussed on rights and justice. Representatives from the major political parties in Northern Ireland also briefed delegates on their respective parties' views on human rights and equality.

So you want to build a makeup kit? The items in everyone's bag will vary widely based not only on personal preference, but also their daily routine. For instance, someone working in show business likely carries more in their kits than someone who works in a retail store.
Since the items can vary widely, we cannot tell you everything you need in your makeup kit. However, we have gathered some basic items, including what function they perform, to help build your basic makeup kit. Customize from here!
If you are going to wear any makeup, we highly recommend including primer in your makeup kit. This recommendation comes because primer helps give your skin a smooth canvas upon which to apply your makeup, as well as because it often helps the rest of your makeup to stay on much longer than if you did not use it. This is perfect for those who live busy lives and do not have time to touch up during the day.
Foundation and Concealer
If you are going to wear makeup in an attempt to have blemish-free and smooth skin, want to eliminate dark circles, et cetera, be sure to include quality foundation and concealer in your basic makeup kit. These products will help even your skin tone, while also providing you with the ideal canvas upon which to add the other elements, such as blush and bronzer.
Many people need to add some colour in their cheeks, particularly if they choose to wear foundation. This is where blush comes in as an essential piece of your basic makeup kit. If you are opting for just including one blush, we recommend including a natural or rose coloured blush in your makeup kit for the best and most versatile results.
Even if you do not wear anything else, just a little swish of lipstick can lift your look dramatically! Of course, there is a wide variety of colours available, particularly when you consider the different brands out there. If you're only going to purchase one colour, however, as would be the case for many basic makeup kits, we recommend choosing a neutral shade. This helps ensure you can use it in more situations.
Need to make your eyes pop? Include a tube of mascara in your basic makeup kit! Though you can purchase mascara in colours like blue, purple, and green, we recommend sticking to black or brown for the most natural results.

A business model that many businesses use is network marketing. The model essentially pays workers in commission for the sales they make and for the new workers that they recruit. This increases the amount of workers and product advertising. For tips on how to use network marketing with our business, read this article.
Your network marketing career can start at home. Talk to family, friends, and neighbors and offer them a chance to join your team. Even if they don't sign up to do what you're doing, they can help by sharing marketing materials at their office, doctor or dentist's office, posting notices in their building's common area, or even posting classified ads locally.
Network marketing strategies aren't free, but you also shouldn't just rely on paying for marketing materials. Classified ads, paper, ink, telephone costs, there are many things you have to consider, but make sure you keep a portion of your profits for technological advances. New techniques for marketing come up often, so you should have some money put aside to cover those costs, too.
Network marketing requires that you invest your time and also some money. Once you get into it and begin growing your business, you are going to find many avenues to spend money on to grow your business. While it is imperative to spend a little money, it is important that you selectively choose the best options, and one way to keep yourself in check on this is to set a budget. A budget is a must have when approaching network marketing and setting goals.
When you've completed your initial website, ask someone you know who knows nothing about network marketing to look at it. Have them use a critical eye when reviewing everything, and then find out if they would sign up through you if the website is all they had known about you.
Ask lots of questions. When you are out doing network marketing in person, make sure that you ask a lot of questions. The person asking the questions is the one in control and asking questions enables you to get as much information as possible from other successful people without having to give away your own secrets.
Take at least 30 minutes every single day to exercise. Working out by going for a long walk, doing yoga, or even lifting weights can also lift your spirits and clear your mind. It keeps you healthy, which means you won't lose any leads because of being sick in bed or, worse yet, in the hospital. You can't make money if you're dead!
When it comes to network marketing, it is important to consider the fact that the more you give to others, the more you will eventually receive. This is important to realize because the more you help others succeed in your network, the more business will come back to you. This is a lesson in patience and generosity.
As previously stated, many businesses use network marketing. It pays workers through commissioned sales and recruits, thus successfully advertising the company's product while increasing the work force. The tips provided in the article will give you all of the help and information you need to use network marketing to expand your business.

- College of Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences

- College of Education
Undergraduate-Chemical Engineering
Dr. Gary Tatterson, Program DirectorEngineers emphasize the application of the principles of mathematics and physics to solve problems and create products for the community at large. Chemical engineers, however, are unique in emphasizing applications, which are also founded in chemistry and biology. Chemical engineers are primarily concerned with processes and equipment in which material changes in composition or state. Chemical engineers often become employed by a company which manufactures a variety of chemical products, including plastics, forest products, gasoline, food, textile fibers, and pharmaceuticals. Chemical engineers also find career opportunities in the fabrication of microelectronic devices, the control of industrial and municipal wastes, and the application of biological science to produce chemicals from biomass through genetic engineering. The assignments given to chemical engineers can be highly diverse, ranging from design, construction, operations research, and product development to technical sales and management. A career in chemical engineering is often a route to top management. In addition to the industrial opportunities that await chemical engineering graduates, opportunities exist for graduate study in engineering as well as such diverse areas as medicine, law, business and biotechnology. In view of the many options open to its graduates, chemical engineering can be a particularly good choice for students who have broad interests, but have not yet defined their career objectives.
MISSIONThe mission of the BSChE program at North Carolina A&T State University is to provide students with a learning experience in chemical engineering that will instill in them a lifelong sense of learning, social responsibility, and commitment to improving the quality of life for all people. The Department seeks to provide an atmosphere of dedicated service to the student by providing instruction, counseling, program planning, career guidance, and any other supportive student services to facilitate their growth and success in the academic and professional communities.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVESThe following are the current educational objectives of the BSChE Program. After graduating from the program, the graduates are expected within a few years of graduation to have:
- Performed effectively in a chemical engineering related position in industry or in graduate/professional schools.
- Demonstrated teamwork and leadership skills in using interdisciplinary approaches for solving problems.
- Been active in their communities and professional societies.
- Enhanced their professional credentials through life long learning.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTSThe chemical engineering major must complete 128 credit hours following the approved departmental curriculum. Majors must also satisfy all University and College of Engineering requirements.
ACCREDITATIONThe undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering, leading to the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) degree, is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIESA degree in this field prepares a student for careers in engineering design, management, research, consulting, sales, teaching, and product development, governmental agencies (federal and state), industries and foreign services. The chemical engineering curriculum is designed to give students the knowledge and scientific tools needed to prepare them for a career in industry or to go on to graduate school. It is also intended to be flexible enough to accommodate a broad range of educational interests. An option that is recommended for students with advanced placement is a dual degree in Chemistry.

Honey Chili Barbecue Chicken. An easy homemade chili barbecue sauce gets combined with honey, then brushed on in multiple layers to create a deliciously sticky sweet glaze on barbecue chicken.
If you have never made your own barbecue sauce before, you should definitely give it a shot. I make several kinds of barbecue sauce and am always experimenting with making them a little more or less spicy, tangy or sweet. With a good tomato base you can develop your own signature sauces by varying the three key elements.
There is endless variety in the herbs and spices you can add to create fragrant or spicy versions. Smoked spices like chipotle powder and smoked paprika can add an additional smoky hint. Use different vinegars in varying amounts to play with the tangy side of your sauce; I've used everything from rice wine vinegar to balsamic in my sauces.
Finally, for the sweet side there are also many options; honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar are some possibilities all of which will add a unique flavor component to a good barbecue sauce. Today's sauce takes its taste inspiration from a pot of chili con carne, using chili powder and cumin as the base spices for a very fragrant spicy sauce.
One of my favourite ways to use a homemade barbecue sauce is to add honey to the finished sauce to create an awesome barbecue glaze for chicken or pork. Simply add honey in about a 4:1 or 3:1 ratio of sauce to honey to create a sweet sticky barbecue glaze that is especially awesome on some well grilled chicken wings. Several coats of the glaze in the final minutes of cooking time will make for some of the best barbecue chicken you will sample this grilling season.

You might also like:
- 3-4 pounds of chicken pieces , well trimmed
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 large red onion , diced
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 8 large very ripe diced tomatoes with the skins removed ( or a 28-32 ounce can crushed tomatoes)
- 1¼ c ups brown sugar
- ½ cup malt vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 4 tbsp chili powder (more or less to taste)
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
To prepare the barbecue sauce
Saute the onion and garlic all together with the olive oil in a medium sized saucepan until the onions have softened.
Add the tomatoes. Simmer gently together until the tomatoes begin break down and get mushy (or until the sauce is reduced by ¼ if using canned tomatoes).
Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce.
Simmer all together over low heat for about a half hour or until the sauce reaches the consistency of a good barbeque sauce. I like mine a little thicker than most because it is easier to brush on whatever is being grilled. Store in airtight mason jars in the fridge.
To make Honey Chili Barbecue Chicken
Take one cup of this sauce and blend in ⅓ cup good quality honey.
Grill your chicken pieces until almost completely cooked, then start brushing on the glaze over low flame, turning the chicken pieces often and continuing to brush multiple layers of the glaze onto them, until the pieces are fully cooked.

The Bauhaus discouraged women from studying architecture. Male instructors at the celebrated art school also considered painting appropriate only for men. Female students were herded toward weaving. Admitted to the Bauhaus in 1922, Anni Albers responded by refabricating the ancient craft as a painterly and architectural medium.
The consequences of Albers' rebellion are the subject of an important new exhibition at Tate Modern, charting one woman's triumph over societal constraints. Simultaneously Albers is shown to be an artist of transformation. Her extraordinary textiles imbued painting and architecture with dazzling new qualities.
Within the realm of modern painting, textiles had the benefit of deep history. Long before woven canvases were invisible support structures for oils and acrylics, fabrics were amongst the world's earliest abstractions. Patterns have been woven in cloth since the Paleolithic. Non-figurative designs can be found in woven artifacts of every civilization from the Middle East to South America.
By the time Albers came to weaving, woven patterns were mostly taken for granted, or regarded as decorative at best. Oil painting, in contrast, was honored as one of the highest cultural achievements, and many of the most highly-regarded modern paintings were abstractions. Albers was able to deploy ancient techniques in the service of this new visual language. And because many elements were already familiar to weaving (as was the grid, a Modernist fixation that happened to be inherent to the loom) she was able to express new visual ideas with fluency that appears almost casual.
The historical relationship of weaving to architecture was arguably even stronger than the connection to painterly abstraction. As Albers herself emphasized, textiles were the original nomadic building material, and architecture was a sort of "minimum tent". Even in her Bauhaus years, she sought to enhance contemporary architecture by reintroducing textiles into building. Although she wasn't alone in this pursuit, she proved one of the 20th century's most innovative and accomplished architects of fabric.
Her early work was devoted to soundproofing. As her Bauhaus diploma project, Albers wove together cellophane and chenille as wall covering for a German auditorium. The textile had the added advantage of being slightly reflective, illuminating the space from within. Philip Johnson, legendary architecture and design curator at the Museum of Modern Art, was especially impressed with her ingenuity, and would later call the soundproof fabric her "passport to America".
Johnson was integral to her emigration from Germany, necessitated by the rise of Adolf Hitler, and he further supported Albers in the late '40s when he gave her the first solo show devoted to a weaver. Her MoMA exhibition included the full gamut of her work, including textile abstractions to rival the paintings of Bauhaus masters Paul Klee and Josef Albers (who happened also to be her husband). Yet nothing in the exhibit stood out as dramatically as her woven room dividers.
These free-hanging pieces, made of yarns ranging from horsehair to rayon and woven to different degrees of reflectiveness and transparency, showed how modern living spaces could attain fluidity when textiles recovered their nomadic architectural heritage. For modern architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the curtain wall was metaphorical. Albers made it literal.
The Tate exhibition and accompanying catalogue make an even stronger case for Albers' importance than Johnson was able to achieve, because the curators are able to draw on nearly half a century of additional weaving. However, the show also calls attention to the fact that Albers had far too little impact outside her own métier. Impressive artworks are being woven today, yet textiles remains marginalized in the art world, sidelined as craft, and in architectural interiors they're mostly the stuff of fluffy interior decor.
Weaving deserves better. Even more than a retrospective, greater appreciation of her art form would be an honor befitting Anni Albers.

Arsenal have missed out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 20 years after they were pipped to a top four place by Liverpool and Manchester City on the final day.
The Gunners needed to beat Everton and hope that either the Reds dropped points against Middlesbrough or for City to suffer a heavy defeat at Watford.
But Liverpool secured a 3-0 win and City strolled to a 5-0 victory at Vicarage Road, rendering the Gunners' 3-1 triumph over Everton irrelevant.
That meant that Arsene Wenger's side finish the season in fifth place.
This is the first time that the Gunners have missed out on the top four since the 1995-96 season, when Bruce Rioch was in charge at Highbury.
Next season will be the first time that Arsenal will not play in the Champions League since the 1997/98 season, when the Premier League had only two places in Europe's premier club competition.
The Gunners' fifth place finish marks the worst Premier League season under Arsene Wenger, who has been the subject of a barrage of criticism and fan protests this season.
They will now enter the Europa League at the group stage next season.
Liverpool return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2014/15 season and will only the second time in eight years, while City will be playing in the Champions League for the sixth season in a row.

24 Nov What should I keep in mind when naming my company?
Posted at 15:39h in 0 Comments
What sort of business are you in? A company name should be something relevant to the business, memorable, and maybe interesting to people when they speak its name, something "unique". It should say something about what you do and how you do it. There are no other hard and fast rules for naming a company. After considering the above, look in the mirror and ask yourself, what will my new company's name be?

Spicy Buffalo Olives
If you love Buffalo Wings and are hankering for that spicy flavor without all the fuss, here's a simple recipe that really delivers. Spicy Buffalo Olives are made with Pearls or Early California Brand Pitted, California Ripe Olives. They're lightly breaded, quickly sautéed and ready to serve in just minutes.
This recipe makes about 72 Buffalo Olives.
Sauce Yield: 1 pint
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
You will need the following ingredients:
For the Buffalo Hot Sauce:
1 cup - margarine (2 sticks)—margarine works better than butter
1 cup - Frank's Hot Sauce
3 tbsp - Tabasco Sauce
1/4 tsp - white pepper, fine ground
1/4 tsp - black pepper, fine ground
2 tbsp - granulated sugar
For the Olives:
2- 6.0 oz. cans Pearls or Early California Brand Large Pitted California Ripe Olives, drained
2 - large eggs
1/4 cup - water
2 cups - all-purpose flour
2 cups - plain bread crumbs
canola oil
To make the Buffalo Sauce, melt the margarine in a sauce pan and then add in the hot sauce, Tabasco, white and black pepper and sugar. Stir until well blended. Set aside.
To prepare the olives, first drain them and then set them aside.
Beat together the egg and water.
Place the flour, egg mixture and bread crumbs into 3 separate bowls. Roll 8-10 olives at a time into the flour. Remove and shake off any excess flour. Next, roll the olives in the egg wash, stir gently to coat them. Remove them, letting excess egg wash drain off.
Finally, roll the egg-washed olives in the bread crumbs and coat them completely.
Transfer the prepared olives to a plate. Repeat these steps until all of the olives are coated.
Preheat a skillet with a quarter inch of canola oil over medium heat. Gently place 10-12 breaded olives in the hot skillet at a time. When the bottoms of the olives are golden brown, gently roll them over to cook on the other side until just crisp and golden brown on both sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat for the remaining olives, replenishing the oil as needed.
Drizzle the fried olives with the warm hot sauce mixture and serve hot.
Spicy Buffalo Olives… just another great recipe from The Musco Family Olive Company!
Remember… eat healthfully, stay fit and above all have fun in the kitchen!

Operational Programme 'North Great Plain'
Programme under the Convergence Objective, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
On 1 August 2007, the European Commission approved a Regional Operational Programme for the Hungarian North Great Plain region for the 2007-2013 period. The Operational Programme falls within the Convergence objective framework and has a total budget of around €1.1 billion. Community assistance through the ERDF amounts to around €975 million, which represents approximately 3.9% of the total EU investment earmarked for Hungary under the Cohesion Policy for 2007-13.
1. Purpose and aim of the programme
The North Great Plain region economic performance ranks low; as the GDP per capita of the region is only 39.4% of the EU-25 average in 2004; and just 65.5% of the Hungarian average. The 15-74 age group activity rate was 44.7% in 2005, while the EU-25 average was 51.3% the same year. The health of the population is poor as demonstrated by the high mortality and morbidity rates. The region also lags in the area of ICT (Information and Communication Technology).
The overall objective of the Programme is two-fold: (1) to increase regional competitiveness; and (2) to reduce territorial imbalances attributed to national, social heritage and characteristics of the North Great Plain region.
The specific objectives of the Programme are:
- strengthening the region's small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) sector
- improving the income-generating capacity of tourism
- improving the population's mobility
- developing human resources
- improving the conditions in built-up areas and the environment.
As the Sectoral Operational Programmes and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development are expected to finance significant investments in the region, the Programme will partially address the North Great Plain region's socio-economic development needs.
2. Expected impact of the investments
The Programme's overall objectives include simultaneously increasing the region's per capita GDP by 39% and creating 1500 new jobs by 2015 (while utilizing 2004 measurements as a baseline).
3. Priority axes
The North Great Plain Operational Programme is structured along the following priority axes:
Priority axis 1: Regional economic development [approximately 14.4% of total funding]
The priority aims to:
- establishing a favourable infrastructural environment
- promoting regional co-operation
- improving the availability of information for and innovation potential of economic actors.
The main activities include:
- infrastructural development of the regional business environment
- support to clusters, corporate co-operations, supplier networks, development of research centres, bridging institutes and technology transfer institutes.
Priority axis 2: Tourism development [approximately 18.0% of total funding]
The priority aims to extend the tourist season and increase tourist destinations. The main activities include the development of tourism products and attractions, (including thermal and medicinal centres, cultural, historical monuments), support to commercial accommodations as well as the development of destination management.
Priority axis 3: Improving transport conditions [approximately 17.4% of total funding]
The objective is to improve access to regional centres, industrial sites and public services as well as to put an end to the reduction of the proportion of communal transport within public transport. The activities to be supported include:
- infrastructural development of regional and local roads
- transport associations establishment
- communal transport services quality improvement, including passenger information and reservation systems.
Priority axis 4: Development of human infrastructure [approximately 20.6% of total funding]
The priority aims to improve regional public services quality. The priority anticipates primary and secondary education infrastructural development, primary care health infrastructure development, outpatient care and rehabilitation as well as improving accessibility for disabled people to local government institutions.
Priority axis 5: Urban and regional development [approximately 25.8% of total funding]
The objective is to improve the quality of developed areas and to protect the natural environment as well as to strengthen the role of non-governmental organisations. The main activities are in the field of:
- urban development, including integrated action-based rehabilitation
- nature and environmental protection development
- co-operation programs between NGOs and local governments.
Priority axis 6: Technical assistance [approximately 3.6% of total funding]
There is provision for technical assistance in order to implement the Programme. Financial support is available covering administration, monitoring and control.

Saying nothing new, but trying to say it in a different way…
One response to ethical problems posed by bleeding-edge biotechnologies is to assert that there are some things that ought not be attempted, some boundaries that ought never be transgressed, regardless of the supposed good that may be envisioned. (I continue to hold that human IVF was one such boundary, but that was definitively crossed with the birth of Louise Brown when I was in college.) To support such an assertion it is at least intuitively attractive to appeal to "the natural" as something that is given, certainly not culturally constructed, and at some level not to be tinkered with. This approach is of course most common for theists; "God is the Creator, and the created realm has a given natural order, that ought to be left alone/approached with reverence, humility, and awe, and in which certain kinds of beings—most notably humans—should be free from attempts at alteration. Such alterations are the province of God alone." Or words to that effect. An appeal like this will readily been seen as a common move made in discussions about heritable genetic alterations, human enhancement, etc. It will also be readily recognized as a version of the common objection about man "playing God." I admit to pursuing such an appeal, I hope in a way that is not obscurantist, in my thinking about bioethics.
However, specifying exactly what is "natural" and therefore off limits, and what specific rules ought to demarcate the boundaries, can be a frustratingly elusive task. This point, in an admirably concise summary of the conceptual issues at hand, was made by Andrew Lustig in his essay, "Appeals to Nature and the Natural in Debates about Synthetic Biology," in the 2013 book, Synthethic Biology and Morality, an entry in the Basic Bioethics series.
Lustig points out that appeals to "the natural" need not be limited to theists. Possible construals of nature include (but are not limited to) "evolutionary," "emergent," and "sacred" perspectives. It is conceivable that a naturalist, an environmentalist, or a pagan could say, as it were, "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature." Whatever the perspective, it is often so deep and complex that it invokes many different notions that shape a worldview, meaning that what one means by "the natural" is often so inchoate as to be well-nigh useless in public policy discussions. Indeed, the [Rawlsian] assumption of "liberal neutrality," which Lustig seems clearly to embrace, excludes relying on these more "comprehensive but epistemologically privileged appeals" (his phrase).
Lustig rehearses some concerns whose familiarity does not diminish their importance. For example, how can theists coherently appeal to "the natural" when they cannot agree among themselves exactly what they mean and what the implications are? Further, he points out that there are secular versions of the more theologically-informed perspectives, for example in the writings of Michael Sandel, Francis Fukuyama, and Leon Kass. He complains that these last authors "tend to pose the issues raised by biotechnology in a rather binary fashion: nature as given or nature as mastered; nature as a gift or nature as an object of manipulation; children a progeny or children as products; and so forth." Such dichotomies fail to recognize the complexity of concerns relevant to "assessing any particular development in biotechnology" (emphasis his).
He essentially concludes that the worries raised by those who appeal to "the natural" are overblown in any event, at least as regards synthetic biology, which is really only a different flavor of activities we already accept.
I object. Some "nearfetched" (cf. the late comedian George Carlin) applications pose few problems. It's the more "farfetched" ones that are disconcerting. The "dichotomies" Lustig rejects need not be rigid to be informative. We can at least argue that they illuminate different stances, different points on a spectrum perhaps, or different deep commitments that will, and ought to, affect how me make the wisest individual-case judgments we can. They are principles of interpretation, hermeneutics of metaphysics and epistemology if you will, that run deeper and are more powerful than the 3 (or 4) Belmont principles. And so they ought to be more fully voiced, not summarily rejected as hopelessly intractable, in public policy debates.
Lustig also raises the classical "great chain of being" in passing, to point out that we don't buy into that anymore. But we still DO buy into there being lesser and greater organisms, of which (I hope) most of us still consider man the greatest. (Sorry modern readers, I'm not giving you the gender-neutral there. I'm not gunning for tenure.) And if we buy that, then I think it clear enough indeed to be more "precautionary" as we move up the line of organisms' complexity, culminating, when it comes to humans, in an ultimate "presumption to forbear" that is analogous to "first, do no harm." But that presumption should be maximal when it comes to things like heritable genetic changes, multi-parent embryos (regardless of how much DNA is exchanged), human/non-human hybrids, to name a few.
Also, I don't think I accept anymore that theological perspectives are "epistemologically privileged." The related truth claims are intelligible, communicable, and defensible. And so they are with any worldview. Refusal to accept is not the same as inability to understand and, in a way meaningful for policy, to know.
Finally, Lustig's complaint about dichotomous arguments looks au courant under a working assumption that everything is in a system, on a continuum, and that there are no "either-ors" that can be true. And of course, if that's the case, then that flies in the face of belief in a holy God in the most fundamental sense possible. And it pushes any thinker, no matter how sophisticated, to the alternative to a Creator/creation distinction: monist paganism.

How to Play
Toxic Trivia® is an "alternative trivia game" to our regular Team Trivia® offering. It contains more mature or "adult" themes and current event type questions concentrating more on "pop culture". Toxic Trivia® represents an overall "edgier" product for our trivia players. Although it consists of a slightly different scoring format, any points earned by a team are eligible for Team Trivia League Play. Toxic Trivia® consists of an eighteen (18) question trivia competition (4 rounds of 4 questions each, with points available of 1, 2, 3 or 4 during the first two rounds, and with substantially more points available for the remaining two rounds. As with Team Trivia®, the available point values can only be used once in each round. Toxic Trivia® features half-time and final question formats similar to that of Team Trivia®. However, during the final question of Toxic Trivia® a team may wager no more than the number of points that they have already earned, limited to twenty-five (25) points in total. The Toxic Trivia® winner is the team with the most points at the conclusion of the final question. Tie-breakers are handled by the Trivia Host for any teams tied for our prize positions (generally 1st, 2nd or 3rd places). Once the final order of finish is determined, prizes are then awarded to the winning teams.

A North Carolina man was shot and killed on Friday when he and some friends tried to help a man whose car had driven off the icy road.
Three people pulled over to help when they saw a car stranded at the edge of a highway. But when they approached the driver, they found him belligerent and apparently intoxicated. Not sure what to do, the good Samaritans discussed calling the police, but when the troubled driver heard mention of police, he began firing at the very people trying to help him.
While two managed to get away, one was hit by the gunfire. The driver then approached the wounded victim and fired multiple shots. After the shooting, he went back to his car, which would not move, and waited for the police to arrive in an armored vehicle. The man was eventually taken into custody, where he faces charges for homicide.
Winter storm conditions can be dangerous, and even deadly – but in America, the constant threat of gun violence is even more severe. Although not all such incidents could be prevented, this again points to the need for stricter gun regulation. According to the NRA website [https://www.nraila.org/gun-
While the police should be lauded for arresting the shooter peacefully, the contrast with the police shooting of an African-American child playing with a toy gun is stark. Just as we have seen with the gentle treatment of the occupation of a federal wildlife reserve by right-wing fanatics, the application of law enforcement in this country is far from consistent, and the flood of guns only makes the situation worse.
