Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista (December 17, 1830 - December 4, 1903), also known as Don Bosyong, was a lawyer and author of the Declaration of Philippine Independence. A distant relative of the Rizal family, Bautista frequently provided advice to Philippine national hero José Rizal during his school days in Manila[citation needed].
Early life and career
Bautista was born in Biñan, Laguna to Gregorio Enriquez and Bautista Silvestra Altamira. He attended preparatory school in Biñan and studied law at the University of Santo Tomas (UST), obtaining a degree in 1865. He then practiced law in Manila and offered free legal services to poor clients. Whilst practicing law, Bautista, on his way to Malolos, Bulacan, was captured by a group of bandits, who subsequently learned that he had saved many of their friends as a defender of the poor in court cases against rich Filipinos and Spaniards. The bandits apologized to Bautista and set him free.
Political activism
Bautista solicited funds to finance a campaign for reforms in the Philippines, later becoming a member of the La Liga Filipina, Cuerpo de Compromisarios and La Propaganda. In 1896, the Spaniards arrested and imprisoned him at Fort Santiago, as he was suspected of being involved in the Philippine Revolution; Bautista elected to defend himself and was later released from prison.
In 1898, Bautista became the first adviser to President Emilio Aguinaldo and subsequently wrote the Declaration of Philippine Independence.
Contrary to common belief, it was Bautista, and not Aguinaldo, who waved the Philippine flag before the jubilant crowd on June 12, 1898, during the Philippines Proclamation of Independence in Cavit.[1]
On July 14, 1899, Bautista was elected to the position of president in Tarlac's Revolutionary Congress and was later appointed judge of the Court of First Instance of Pangasinan[citation needed].

New York, Equities around the globe rallied on Friday while bond yields rose after sharply declining earlier in the week as U.S. employment data pointed to economic strength and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the U.S. central bank would be patient with its monetary policy.
U.S. and European stocks got a boost as stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data soothed some concerns of slowing economic growth. That was welcome news to investors after sharp declines on Thursday following Apple Inc's cut in its revenue forecast.
Stocks surged further, with Wall Street up more than 3 percent, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke at a meeting of the American Economic Association. He said Fed policymakers were paying attention to market activity and would be flexible in deciding future interest-rate hikes and reducing the Fed's balance sheet. He also said that he would not resign if asked to do so by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Powell's comments alleviated some worries that the Fed's course of monetary tightening may be too aggressive in the event of an economic slowdown, Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report notwithstanding.
Earlier, stock markets in Asia and Europe were buoyed by news that China and the United States will hold trade talks in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday.
Keeping with Friday's risk-on theme, oil prices rose in tandem with equities. Brent crude futures rose $1.36 to $57.31 a barrel, a 2.4 percent gain. U.S. crude futures rose $1.08 to $48.17 a barrel, a 2.3 percent gain.
Conversely, safe-haven assets that had climbed this week as equity markets were roiled came down substantially. Treasury yields rose sharply, and the dollar gained 0.8 percent against the yen. Spot gold prices, which reached a six-month peak on Thursday, dropped 0.7 percent.
Powell's dovish comments pushed down the dollar index , which gave up earlier gains to slip 0.2 percent. The euro edged up 0.1 percent.
In U.S. equities, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 770.1 points, or 3.39 percent, to 23,456.32, the S&P 500 gained 84.18 points, or 3.44 percent, to 2,532.07 and the Nasdaq Composite added 288.31 points, or 4.46 percent, to 6,751.81.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index jumped 2.83 percent, its biggest daily gain since June 2016. MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 2.52 percent.
Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes last fell 32/32 in price to yield 2.6659 percent, from 2.553 percent late on Thursday.

On Saturday Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints go head to head for glory in the Aviva Premiership Final, played out in front of a packed Twickenham Stadium. Fans now have the opportunity to get involved and make a difference for the finalists.
Rivalries up front will be reignited as Lions first choice hopefuls go up against one another for the final time before the big tour down under. Dylan Hartley has said he will not back down, and will use this as a chance to impress coach Warren Gatland.
"A few people think I am in the Lions squad to cover the third hooker place," Hartley explained. "I see this weekend as a chance to push myself forward. I am going there to win a trophy for the club but it is an opportunity to put my hand up."
On the other side, Dan Cole says he is relishing the challenge of a derby game between two big clubs with a lot of history. "It always adds spice. It might boil over, it might not, we'll see, but that's the game. It all adds to the occasion," said the England prop.
Get involved
Leading up to the big final, Aviva and Premiership Rugby have joined together to give the fans a chance to have their messages of support actually seen by the finalists.
All you have to do is send in your messages via Twitter using the hashtag #LittleThingsMatter and the best messages will be selected to appear at Twickenham on the day. The messages will be displayed on the LED boards in the stadium, in the tunnel for the players to see, or even on boards that will placed in both dressing rooms.
Whether you're a die hard fan, or a neutral looking to enjoy this titanic battle, get involved by Tweeting #LittleThingsMatter. Kickoff from a sold out Twickenham is at 15:00 local time.

We all know the results: unemployment rising, governmental expenditure cuts, the housing and construction market weakened, and the euro in heavy weather. Everyone over 50 losing their jobs has a hard time finding new employment. For newly graduates it's difficult to find their first job too. In the Netherlands, we used to have several arrangements for early retirement so that more work became available for unemployed people. But not anymore; we now even have to work until the age of 67 instead of 65. Most of the industry is facing problems as well. Especially competition from low-wage countries and lower consumer spending are what industrial companies are struggling with.
The strange thing however is this word "crisis". We have been in this situation four years already, and still it continues. You would expect a crisis to be a short but intense period of difficulty, with a clear beginning and end, after which all turns out well. Our former Prime Minister Mr Balkenende would describe this somewhat childishly as "First the sour, then the sweet".
So, can we still call this a crisis? Or is it a - rather long - period of bad economic climate? Maybe we should simply call it today's reality, even though several aspects are not really what we would wish them to be. Possibly there won't be any clear ending at all. For all we know, we could be in an intermediate phase, a transition to... Well, who knows? Anyway, one thing is certain: We won't turn back to the initial situation of 2008, because meanwhile the world has changed. The current reality is what we have to deal with for the time being, but at the same time it's our starting point for the future. And today we already create this future by choosing now, in 2013, what we do and what we don't. Anyone who wants a better future will have to make their choices of accordingly.
That is why I'm pleased to see that many companies still continue to invest in tomorrow and beyond. Of course in some industries the economic tide is more adverse than in others, and not all companies are equally resilient in difficult circumstances. Fortunately, however, investments for innovations and improvements are still being made. That requires vision, flexibility and perseverance, but in return you are more in control of your own future.
Easier said than done, that's true. But whether you call it a crisis or not, those who just sit down and sigh are throwing away their influence on a better future.

'What have Norwich City won? A Milk Cup' - Alan Brazil claims Ipswich Town still hold the bragging rights
Ex-Ipswich Town stalwart Alan Brazil could not resist a dig at Premier League Norwich City on his Talksport breakfast show - claiming the League One Blues still hold the upper hand in East Anglian football.
Brazil was teased by co-host Ally McCoist on his Thursday morning show who is the biggest team in East Anglia, and the ex-Town striker insisted his beloved Ipswich still hold sway.
The Canaries stormed to the Championship title, with Paul Lambert unable to prevent the Blues sliding into League One, but Brazil refused to take the bait.
"Who is the biggest club, Ipswich or Norwich?' asked McCoist.
"At this moment in time, Ipswich. Ipswich is a bigger club overall. Of course they are," replied Brazil. "Norwich is doing well, but what have they won? A Milk Cup."
Brazil's comments sparked a predictable reaction on social media from Norwich fans, given the contrasting fortunes of both clubs in recent times.
City have not lost an East Anglian derby to their Suffolk rivals since April 2009, including a memorable Championship play-off semi-final aggregate win over the Blues on their way to promotion in 2015.
The Canaries' latest Premier League promotion success is the fourth since 2004. In the same period Ipswich had languished in the second tier until being relegated under ex-Norwich boss Lambert earlier this month to the third tier of English football for the first time since 1957.
Brazil was part of the Blues' golden era when they won the FA Cup, twice finished runners-up in the top tier and lifted the club's last major trophy, the Uefa Cup in 1981.

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice's order that news sites Crusoé and O Antagonista take down an article mentioning him is an attack on the freedom of the press that is unacceptable in a democratic society. The justice also asked the federal police question the directors of the news outlets.
International human rights law is especially protective of the right to free expression in circumstances of public debate concerning public officials. The article, which reported a possible connection between the chief justice and a high-profile corruption case, is just such a case. Brazil's Supreme Court should reverse this order, and the justice should refrain from any further attempts to censor or intimidate the journalists who reported the story.

Curious, what creativity comes of a tedious task! Whilst doing my filing, I had some photos and negatives to stash in the "photos and negatives" box. (hey! organization!) This is what happened:
"What's in here, anyway?" [flip flip flip] [childhood pictures] "Oh my goodness, we were such nerds!" [flip flip flip] "Oh yeah! That roll of film! Ooh, and there are negatives!" [holds negatives up to light source] "That looks really neat, actually, for a not-great photo…" [sees blue penlight on table – sees glass candle plate – cartoon lightbulb pops into being above head] "I wonder…."
("i wonder…" is my favourite thought. it always leads to something interesting.)

A fun way to take advantage of an empty house
Reviewed: 22 June 2020 by SoThickAndSoSweet, a Straight Going Steady Female
We bought these with a few other things for the SO's birthday.
These originated as just a small stocking filler type present. However, they pleasantly surprised us, to say the least. They are handy for when the house is empty and we can take advantage of any room in the house. It also helps to pick a position when we can't decide.
- Pros
- Easy, exciting and affordable fun.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great addition to any collection and great for beginners.

Thrilling and fun
Reviewed: 23 May 2020 by daisb123, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
Had an amazing time with these dice. Bought them for my OH's birthday and straight away had to use them. The different places like the garden added such a thrill. It made the experience so much better!
The positions weren't extremely difficult, so we didn't have to spend ages trying to figure out how to do it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to spice up their sex every once in a while!
- Pros
- Packaging was very cute.
- Cons
- Only had six sides.
- Bottom line

I for these for my boyfriend and a sexy valentines package, and they were great little addition! Good for having fun, and also when things have got a bit "routiney" to remember how much fun it is to try out different positions/ places et cetera. Also make great fun little secret Santa/pressies for the girlfriend's!

Roll on the good times
Reviewed: 6 October 2018 by Passion pleaser, a Straight Married Male
We found these to be really fun and simple, as you don't need to be a gymnast or contortionist to get the best from these. We loved the location die as it adds an extra level of naughty especially as one of the locations is the garden, which was very exciting.
These are perfect if you're looking to introduce something new to the bedroom or maybe you've always had a fantasy that you weren't confident enough to bring up with your OH, I think these would be great in that situation.
- Pros
- Ease of use.
- Cons
- Nothing.

Good for inspiration
Reviewed: 3 April 2018 by Foxiiuk, a Straight Married Female
Ordered these to go with the foreplay dice, and although they can be used alone we prefer to use them after the foreplay ones to create a really spontaneous feel!
These are great for people (like us) looking to try something new to spice things up without really knowing where to start. As described there's three dice, and some of the locations aren't always possible, but all we do is agree on an alternative beforehand.
We also like to roll, take a picture of the result and send it to the other person. Great for building anticipation through the day. Some of the positions aren't very clear, especially to blond bats like us, but that adds to the fun for us and we leave it open to interpretation, which extends the options!
With a bit of imagination and flexibility these dice are a great way to get out a rut and add some fun and excitement.
- Pros
- Can use in so many ways.
- Cons
- Can be a little hard to see.
- Bottom line
- Fun!

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday paid rich tributes to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding president of Bangladesh, on the occasion of the historic Homecoming Day of the architect of the country's independence.
She paid the homage by placing wreaths at the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in Dhaka's Dhanmondi area in the morning.
After laying the wreaths, the PM stood there in solemn silence for some time as a mark of profound respect to the memory of the great leader of the country.
Flanked by ministers and central leaders of the party, Sheikh Hasina, also the president of Bangladesh Awami League, placed another wreath at the portrait on behalf of her party.
Sheikh Rehana, the youngest daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, senior leaders of AL, including Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Matia Chowdhury, Obaidul Quader, Shajahan Khan, Hasan Mahmud, Dipu Moni, Bahauddin Nasim, Yusuf Hossain, Biplob Barua as well as leaders of its different associate bodies were present.
Later, the leaders of Awami League's associate bodies, including Juba League, Chhatra League, Shrameek League, Mahila Awami League, Swechchhasebak League, Juba Mahila League, Krishak League, Dhaka city AL and other socio-cultural organisations laid wreaths at the portrait of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman returned to independent Bangladesh via London and New Delhi on January 10 in 1972, after long captivity in Pakistani jail.
Since then, the nation observes the day as the Homecoming Day of the founding president of Bangladesh.

Eugene W. Wilson, II (born August 17, 1980 in Merrillville, Indiana) is an American football defensive back who is currently a free agent of the National Football League. He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft. He played college football at Illinois.
Wilson has also been a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans. He earned two Super Bowl rings during his tenure with the Patriots.
Early years[edit | edit source]
Wilson attended Merrillville High School in Merrillville, Indiana and was a student and a letterman in football and basketball. In football, he was a two-time All-State selection and, as a senior, he was named the Conference's Defensive Player of the Year. In basketball, he was a four-year varsity letterman and starter, and was a two-time All-Conference selection.
College career[edit | edit source]
He attended the University of Illinois where he majored in speech communications. He finished his career with 176 Tackles [139 Solo, 37 Assist], 11 INT, and 60 PD. He also had 93 punt returns for 896 yards and 2 TD.[1]
Professional career[edit | edit source]
New England Patriots[edit | edit source]
He was drafted by the Patriots in the second round (36th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft. He has helped the Patriots win Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2003 and Super Bowl XXXIX in 2004. He recovered a fumble by Philadelphia Eagles tight end L.J. Smith in Super Bowl XXXIX before leaving the game after sustaining an injury on a kickoff. He also intercepted Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger twice in the Patriots 41-27 victory in the 2004 AFC Championship Game.
In 2007, in a Week 15 game against the New York Jets, Wilson returned a Kellen Clemens interception for a touchdown, making him the 21st Patriot to score a touchdown that season, tying an NFL record.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers[edit | edit source]
On March 14, 2008, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Wilson to a one-year, $1.8 million contract including $500,000 guaranteed; however, he was released on September 1, 2008.
Houston Texans[edit | edit source]
Two days after his release from the Buccaneers, Wilson was signed by the Houston Texans on September 3, 2008.
During a preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings on August 31, 2009, Wilson fell victim to an illegal "crackback" block thrown by Brett Favre. He was injured on the play and was listed as "day-to-day." Wilson returned to the field on September 20, 2009, and started the second game of the season, recording an interception in the Texans' win over the Tennessee Titans.
Wilson was placed Injured Reserve on November 24, 2009, due to broken toes.
On February 18, 2011, the Texans released Wilson.

Dependence on the style for the text needless to say work
The basic needs for the execution for the training course work are as employs:
- the quality of building,
- the rational series of presentation of the materials,
- the vow associated with the debate,
- the conciseness and reliability for the meanings, which excludes the risk of ambiguity of these explanation,
- evidence of conclusions.
Fundamental principles of text presentation
Program tasks are im im printed edubirdies.org/ utilizing a pc in accordance with certain requirements associated with standard. The writing associated with the primary the main program tasks are split into parts and subdivisions. Titles of tend to beas tend to be capitalized in the front of text dedicated to the web web web page. The games of devices tend to be keyed in lowercase letters ( aside from the very first big one) by way of a section indentation.
Headers aren't permitted to be converted. The dot during the end regarding the subject just isn't set. The length amongst the headings as well as the text must be 3 intervals. Each architectural area of the training course work (content, parts, number of bibliographic re re re sources, each application) must begin with a brand new web page.
The web web page numbering must be appended and cross-cut with Arabic numerals at the base of the web web page.
The very first web page could be the address web page, which will be contained in the complete numbering, however the web page quantity doesn't show up on it. Areas tend to be numbered in Arabic numerals, products tend to be numbered within each part (as an example, 1.2). The form of presentation for the product must certanly be strict and restrained. Widely used terminology that is administrative be properly used, term and term abbreviations within the text and pictures aren't permitted.

"Viable Offspring Derived from Fetal and Adult Mammalian Cells" (1997), by Ian Wilmut et al.
In the 1990s, Ian Wilmut, Jim McWhir, and Keith Campbell performed experiments while working at the Roslin Institute in Roslin, Scotland. Wilmut, McWhir, and Campbell collaborated with Angelica Schnieke and Alex J. Kind at PPL Therapeutics in Roslin, a company researching cloning and genetic manipulation for livestock. Their experiments resulted in several sheep being born in July 1996, one of which was a sheep named Dolly born 5 July 1996.

Telomeres and Telomerase in Cellular Aging (Senescence)
Telomeres are sequences of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from sticking to each other or tangling, which could cause irregularities in normal DNA functions. As cells replicate, telomeres shorten at the end of chromosomes, which correlates to senescence or cellular aging. Integral to this process is telomerase, which is an enzyme that repairs telomeres and is present in various cells in the human body, especially during human growth and development.

Paul Kammerer's Experiments on Salamanders (1903-1912)
In the early twentieth century, Paul Kammerer conducted a series of experiments to demonstrate that organisms could transmit characteristics acquired in their lifetimes to their offspring. In his 1809 publication, zoologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck had hypothesized that living beings can inherit features their parents or ancestors acquired throughout life. By breeding salamanders, as well as frogs and other organisms, Kammerer tested Lamarck's hypothesis in an attempt to provide evidence for Lamarck's theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics.

Telomerase in Human Development
Telomerase is an enzyme that regulates the lengths of telomeres in the cells of many organisms, and in humans it begins to function int the early stages of embryonic development. Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from sticking to each other or tangling. In 1989, Gregg Morin found that telomerase was present in human cells. In 1996, Woodring Wright and his team examined human embryonic cells and found that telomerase was active in them. Scientists manipulate telomerase in cells to give cells the capacity to replicate infinitely.

Copper Intrauterine Device (IUD)
The copper intrauterine device, or IUD, is a long-term, reversible contraceptive first introduced by Howard Tatum and Jamie Zipper in 1967. Health care providers place an IUD inside a woman's uterus to prevent pregnancy. Copper IUDs are typically made of T-shaped plastic with some portion covered with exposed copper. Prior to the invention of the first IUDs, women had few long-term options for safe and reliable birth control. Those options mostly consisted of barrier methods and the oral birth control pill, which were only effective if used correctly and consistently.

In a series of experiments in the late 1970s, Alec J. Jeffreys in the UK and Richard A. Flavell in the Netherlands developed a technique to detect variations in the DNA of different individuals. They compared fragments of DNA from individuals' beta-globin genes, which produce a protein in hemoglobin. Previously, to identify biological material, scientists focused on proteins rather than on genes. But evidence about proteins enabled scientists only to exclude, but not to identify, individuals as the sources of the biological samples.

"…In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance art was defined as high quality endeavor. I have never found a need to add anything to that definition. But one of the reasons I have spent so much time in this paper describing the personal relationship of Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr in the development of quantum theory is that although the world views science as a sort of plodding, logical methodical advancement of knowledge, what I saw here were two artists in the throes of creative discovery. They were at the cutting edge of knowledge plunging into the unknown trying to bring something out of that unknown into a static form that would be of value to everyone. As Bohr might have loved to observe, science and art are just two different complementary ways of looking at the same thing. In the largest sense it is really unnecessary to create a meeting of the arts and sciences because in actual practice, at the most immediate level they have never really been separated. They have always been different aspects of the same human purpose…"

The Thanksgiving tradition in the U.S. traces its roots back to 1621 when colonists in Plymouth held a feast with the local native peoples after their first successful harvest in the new land. It was a three-day celebration that included giving thanks for the harvest and thanks to the natives for helping them through their first year in their new home. It's a well-known fact that if the natives had not helped the pilgrims during their first winter—by offering them food and teaching them how to fish—the pilgrims would not have survived. In the spring, the natives introduced the colonists to corn. It would become a staple grain in American homes.
Thanksgiving has been celebrated sporadically since that first feast, but was officially designated a national holiday by President Lincoln in 1863 during the Civil War. He declared it "a national day of thanksgiving and praise to God for all that He has given us."
Although many people appreciate Thanksgiving because it's a sectarian holiday and not tied to a specific religion, many others esteem Thanksgiving because it's a way to offer thanks to the Divine. There's an amusing story I once heard about a dog and cat that illustrates different attitudes of gratitude. It was told by Sant Rajinder Singh Ji during a Thanksgiving celebration:
"Thanksgiving is a time in which we can reflect on our gratitude to God for what has been created. There are some who live with such an attitude of gratitude. In this connection, there is an anecdote about a dog.
A dog thinks, "Hey, these people with whom I live feed me, love me, provide me with a warm house, pet me, and take good care of me. They must be gods!" On the other hand, a cat thinks, "Hey, these people with whom I live feed me, love me, provide me with a warm house, pet me, and take good care of me. I must be a god!"
We should have the attitude of the dog in the story that was grateful for what was being provided and not like the cat who thought it was deserving and did not remember its giver."
As an American, I know how people in our country celebrate Thanksgiving, but during my research for this blog, I became surprised to learn that many countries around the world have their own day of giving thanks that is also tied to the harvest, and many are celebrated in the autumn.
There is a Jewish holiday that is celebrated in and outside of Israel. It is called the Sukkot or The Feast of the Booths (or Tabernacles). It commemorates the forty years that the Israelites wandered in the desert after being freed from slavery in Egypt. It was originally considered thanksgiving for the fruit harvest, but now it is a celebration—and a time of gratitude—for a successful harvest.
In Canada, Thanksgiving Day or Jour de l'Action de Grâce is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Canadians give thanks for a bountiful harvest when families gather for large feasts.
In South Korea there is a harvest festival called Chuseok that is celebrated in mid to late September. It is a three-day festival, celebrated by people returning to hometowns to remember and give thanks to their ancestors. They offer foods from the harvest to their lost loved ones. Besides ancestor memorials, the time is celebrated with family feasts, wrestling, and traditional dancing.
The Vietnamese have their own festival day of thanks called Tết Trung-Thu held in August and it includes giving thanks for the harvest and family feasts. Children light lanterns and perform lion dances.
In Ghana, people hold the Homowo or Yam Festival in the month of May. This is a time to give thanks and rejoice when the crops are ready for harvest. Thousands gather in the streets for dancing, drumming, and face painting. Families celebrate by cooking yams in various ways: roasting, baking, boiling and adding them to various soups and stews.
Germans celebrate the Erntedankfest on the first Sunday in October with parades. This is a festival with a harvest queen, church services, choirs, speeches, lots of food, music and dancing, and fireworks.
In China and other parts of East Asia, the Moon Festival is celebrated in August. It has been held for more than 2500 years. It originated as a holiday to express gratitude for the changing seasons and to celebrate the fall harvest. Mooncakes are a special festival treat, eaten at picnics and dinners.
Japan has its own day of gratitude known as Kinrō Kansha no Hi, or Labor Thanksgiving Day, giving thanks for workers' rights. This celebration traces its origins back 2000 years to a ritual giving thanks for the season's first rice harvest. It officially became a holiday in 1948 and is celebrated in different ways throughout the country.
Liberia was founded by freed American slaves who brought American customs with them to their new country, including Thanksgiving. On their Thanksgiving Day, there is typically a church service followed by family feasts. The typical meal includes mashed cassavas.
When enjoying your family feast on Thanksgiving Day, join the world in giving thanks for all that God has given you. Some families do this by saying a prayer of gratitude for the meal that is about to be eaten and then going around the table and asking each person to say something that they are grateful for.

Kolkata, (IANS) : B.K. Birla group company Kesoram Industries is planning to invest Rs 600 crore — Rs 350 crore in the tyre business and Rs 250 crore in the cement business — as capital expenditure in the current fiscal, a top company official said on Thursday.
"We have plans for capital expenditure. The capital expenditure will be Rs 600 crore in this fiscal of which Rs 350 crore will be invested in tyre business and Rs 250 crore will be for cement business," said the company's whole-time director and Chief Financial Officer Tridib Das.
"Rs 600 crore capital expenditure will be over and above Rs 500 crore which is already booked as work in progress," he said on the sidelines of the 97th Annual General Meeting of the company.
"In the cement business, capital investment will be made for purchasing land and to improve the injection of fly ash," he said.
The company continues to focus on and strengthen its tyre business even though it sold its tyre manufacturing plant at Laksar in Haridwar to JK Tyre for an enterprise value of Rs 2,195 crore.
It has been concentrating on building its Balasore tyre manufacturing plant as a state-of-the-art facility. The Odisha plant capacity stands at 275 tonnes a day on bias tyre and it produces 1.85 lakh tyres a month for two-three wheelers.
"Rs 300 crore will be invested for producing passenger car radial tyre at the Balasore plant and the capacity for it (passenger car radial tyre) will be 2.9 million tyres a year," he said.
Commercial production of passenger car radial tyres is expected from April next year, he said.

Well, the opening notes remind me of a floral Tiffany for men, while the mid and base notes diverge into manly skinkiness. It was a blind buy: a big surprise indeed, I never would have thought this could be that way. A woman wearing this? I cannot imagine for the sake of me blind-dating a woman wearing BdB. I would think she would be chewing me up in no time. Ladies, do your newly met boys a favor, don't ever wear this in a first date.

To earn a Microsoft gold competency, partners must successfully complete exams (resulting in Microsoft Certified Professionals) to prove their level of technology expertise, and then designate these certified professionals uniquely to one Microsoft competency, ensuring a certain level of staffing capacity. They also must submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects (along with implementing a yearly customer satisfaction study), meet a revenue commitment (for most gold competencies), and pass technology and/or sales assessments.
From award-winning fax management technology to innovative secure file transfer solutions, Biscom provides organizations worldwide with market-leading tools and services that boast enterprise-class functionality, integration and scalability.
"This Microsoft Gold Application Development competency showcases our expertise in and commitment to today's technology market and demonstrates our deep knowledge of Microsoft and its products," said Bill Ho, president at Biscom. "We plan to accelerate our customers' success by serving as technology advisors for their business demands."
"By achieving a gold competency, partners have demonstrated the highest, most consistent capability and commitment to the latest Microsoft technology," said Phil Sorgen, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "These partners have a deep expertise that puts them in the top 1 percent of our partner ecosystem, and their proficiency will help customers drive innovative solutions on the latest Microsoft technology."
Earning the Application Development competency helps partners differentiate themselves as a trusted expert to their customers through development and deployment of commercial or custom applications built using core Microsoft technologies like Windows Server and Windows 8 operating systems, the Windows Azure platform, Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 development system, Microsoft BizTalk Server and emerging cloud-based and web business models. By gaining access to a comprehensive set of benefits through the Application Development competency, partners can acquire new customers and help them be more productive and profitable through deployment of business applications, advanced web portals or rich client user interfaces that run on premises or in the cloud.
The Microsoft Partner Network helps partners strengthen their capabilities to showcase leadership in the marketplace on the latest technology, to better serve customers and to easily connect with one of the most active, diverse networks in the world.

Excellence Gap
Much of education policy in Connecticut has focused on the goal of shrinking the "achievement gap," the difference between, for example, students living in poverty versus those who are not. However, this gap is better characterized as a minimum competency gap—i.e., the difference between groups at low benchmarks of achievement.
Starting in 2010, the Indiana University Center for Evaluation and Education Policy (CEEP) began to quantify evidence on a comparable "excellence gap" at the other end of the spectrum—group differences at high levels of achievement across the United States. CEEP's latest report found that achievement gaps among high ability students from different economic, racial and linguistic backgrounds in the U.S. are large and growing, and some of the top achieving groups aren't performing as well as in the past.
CEEP defines the "excellence gap" as the difference in the proportion of students in different demographic groups who score at the advanced level on student achievement tests. Their report analyzed the state-by-state results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), nicknamed "The Nation's Report Card," which assesses subject-matter knowledge for students in grades four, eight and 12 across the country, as well as state assessments. It found that lower socio-economic demographic groups. as well as English Language Learners and Hispanic and Black students, were underrepresented at the highest levels of academic achievement, far below their counterparts.
The original report report estimated it could take 72 years to close the gap between whites and Hispanics in grade four mathematics; 31 years to close the gap between whites and blacks; and 128 years to close the gap between grade four English Language Learners (ELL) and non-ELL students.
"Our entire national conversation about education [in the age of No Child Left Behind] has focused on struggling students," said Jonathan Plucker, the report's lead author and the CEEP director. "Although helping these students is important, clearly we can also focus some energy on higher levels of achievement."
Continually, in Connecticut (and across the country), the achievement gap conversation has almost exclusively focused on bringing socio-economically disadvantaged populations up to minimum proficiency levels, ignoring opportuntiy for students from diverse backgrounds who should be performing at higher academic levels at comparable percentages to their more affluent peers.
"I think the evidence is pretty clear that we have a very long way to go when it comes to ensuring equal opportunities for all high-ability students," said Nathan Burroughs, co-author of the report. "That such a small percentage of lower income, minority and English language learners are scoring at the advanced level on the NAEP is simply indefensible."
The study concludes that among the policies that impact the persisting excellence gaps are inconsistent efforts to target gifted students. In 2007 around one-third of states had mandates to identify and/or serve gifted students, but 18 provided no dedicated funding. Plucker said the findings are troubling since they suggest little focus on students with great potential to contribute to the nation and the world.
"Policymakers increasingly worry about where the next generation of innovators will come from," Plucker said. "Yet as a country, we simply haven't given much attention to students who excel academically or have the potential to excel. This disconnect between our concerns for the future and lack of attention to an obvious solution needs to be addressed quickly."
The authors recommend several potential solutions to the problem of persisting excellence gaps:
- Policymakers should always ask how any new policy will affect the brightest students and help other students begin to achieve at high levels.
- Set realistic goals for shrinking excellence gaps to improve chances for achieving a target.
- Focus on both student minimum competency and excellence.
- Include the performance of advanced students in discussions on common standards and value-added accountability systems.
- Determine how to best mix federal, state and local policies and interventions for excellence in education.
- Each state should examine policies that may help or hinder the promotion of high achievement in K-12 schools.
- Conduct much more research on developing advanced learning and talent development.
"'Mind the (Other) Gap" should be the wake-up call to all education policymakers that our nation is failing to serve its highest-potential students, particularly those students from underserved and disadvantaged backgrounds," said National Association for Gifted Children Executive Director Nancy Green. "The ever-widening excellence gap is a tragedy-in-waiting that can only be addressed by devoting attention and resources to meet the unique learning needs of high-potential students"
The full report, including state profile pages, is accessible at ceep.indiana.edu/mindthegap.

A Study carried out by YouGov has highlighted the fact that female students are more likely to have mental health problems than males and that LGBT students have a high likelihood of developing issues compared to their non-LGBT counterpart.
Overall, more than a quarter (27%) of all students surveyed reported having a mental health problem of one type or another in the past year.
The study has added to the recent problem of rising mental health issues in students by highlighting depression, anxiety, and eating disorders as the three main challenges being faced by young people at university today.
For a significant proportion of respondents with issues, day-to-day tasks were difficult to see through; nearly half – 47 per cent – said they have trouble completing some daily tasks. Four per cent admitted to not being able to complete the most simple of tasks.
Leader of that study, Dr Thomas Richardson, described how the findings suggested "a vicious cycle" whereby anxiety and problem drinking "exacerbate financial difficulties," which then go on to increase anxiety and alcohol intake. He said: "Interventions which tackle both difficulties at the same time are therefore most likely to be effective."
Elaine Hindal, chief executive of Drinkaware, the alcohol education charity, acknowledged how alcohol can have a temporary, positive impact on mood, but warned: "Regular, excessive drinking can have long-term implications for students' mental health."
"Alcohol is a depressant and can disrupt the delicate balance of chemicals that affect mood. This can lead to increased anxiety and stress, and even depression.
