Spanish Bachelor of Arts
We welcome brave students who want to experience the world in another language, challenging themselves to explore new ideas and forge lasting relationships with their global neighbors. Majoring in Spanish allows you to immerse yourself in Hispanic language, literature and culture while developing strong analytical thinking and communication skills. The Spanish Education major offers the opportunity to combine these skills with the coursework and practicum experiences necessary to earn a teaching certificate in Pennsylvania. In both majors, you'll find countless opportunities to sharpen your language skills and challenge your cultural assumptions while experiencing the world from a different vantage point.
Entrance into the major is determined by the successful completion of the Introduction and Intermediate sequence or by the demonstration of equivalent skills on the CLEP, A.P., International Baccalaureate examinations.
We strongly encourage students to study abroad, and work with each student to find the program that will make this possible.
Mercyhurst's diverse international student body and faculty ensure that Spanish students can practice the language in real-world settings without leaving campus.
The Bachelor of Arts in Spanish pairs well with many other degree programs for a double major.
Studying a foreign language is excellent preparation for careers in many different fields, such as business, education, human services, government or international relations, as well as graduate school.
This upper-level course focuses on the mastery of the International Phonetic System, the phonemes and allophones of Spanish, phonetic and phonemic transcription, and dialectical variation.
Blending in-depth analysis of Latin American theatrical works with focus on those from the 20th century, this course studies the historical and social contexts of their production.
Take a unique approach to studying Hispanic culture by examining the historical, social, and cultural roots of women's present-day realities in Spain, Latin America, and Hispanic communities in the U.S.
Take advantage of opportunities to serve the global community through travel to places like the Mission of Friendship in Mérida, Mexico, or through work with local immigrant populations.
Our thriving study abroad program allows students to experience the vivid culture of Spain or Latin America while completing their degrees in Spanish or Spanish Education.
Many alumni have pursued graduate degrees at prestigious universities, including University of Illinois, Indiana University, American University, Middlebury College, and Universidad Alcalá de Henares in Madrid, Spain.

Spinach Homity Pies
Homity pies are traditional British pies consisting of an onion and potato mixture encased in pastry. In my version I have added some creamy spinach instead of the onions. The pies are quite hefty, so I served them as a main course with salad. However you could also make smaller ones which would be perfect for a picnic.
You will need to have made some bechamel sauce in advance.
Makes 4 pies
-100g wholemeal flour
-150g plain flour
-150g cold unsalted butter, cubed
-1tsp salt
-1 egg
-1 tbsp cold milk
-200g spinach, cooked and drained
-300ml home-made white sauce or bechamel: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/whitesauce_1298
-500g floury potatoes, peeled and diced
-100g Lancashire cheese or cheddar, cubed
-2 - 3 tbsp milk
-Knob of butter
-8 tsp mustard (Regular or wholegrain)
-Salt & pepper, nutmeg
Chopped chives to serve.
1. To make the pastry, put the flours and salt in a food processor. Beat the egg and milk together then gradually add to the flour, and pulse until combined. If making by hand, tip the flours into a large bowl and add the butter and egg. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk and bring the pastry together. Knead three or four times to bring it together then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 180C. Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water until tender. Drain and mash with the butter and milk until smooth. Season well.
3. Mix the cooked spinach with the bechamel and season well with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
4. Remove the cling film from the pastry and divide into 4. On a floured surface roll each ball into a 15 - 20cm round. Leaving a 5cm crust around the edge, spread each round with 2 tsp of mustard, then top with 1/4 of the spinach mixture then 1/4 of the mashed potato.
5. To form the pies bring up the pastry around the filling and firmly press together any edges. Top with the cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through and the cheese in bubbling. Serve with the chopped chives sprinkled on top.

These look lovely yet I've never heard of them before?! I love how rustic they are! And rustic always tastes amazing ;)ReplyDelete
Hi EmmaReplyDelete
I first had them at Cranks vegetarian restaurant, it's true you don't really see them around very often though!
I like a good homemade homity pie and your rustic ones are even more appealing, i love the addition of the spinach.ReplyDelete

Somerset Patriots host Operation Shoebox NJ packing event on Saturday, June 25th & "A Salute to the Flag" July 4th
Bridgewater, NJ - The Five-Time Atlantic League Champion Somerset Patriots are hosting an Operation Shoebox New Jersey Packing Event at TD Bank Ballpark on Saturday, June 25th. Volunteers of all ages are invited to help pack care packages to ship to U.S troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. The event will begin at 11:30 am with a brief orientation. Volunteers will then fill care packages with different toiletries, necessities, and food items from bins spread along the main concourse. All volunteers will be asked to write cards and letters to the troops to include in each package. Volunteers can sign a large banner expressing their thanks to the soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors that will also be sent overseas. Tickets will also be available for the following weekend's ballpark fundraiser, "A Salute to the Flag," hosted by Operation Shoebox New Jersey. All fans attending the Monday, July 4th game will receive an American Flag and will be asked to join a flag waving tribute to U.S. troops during the game. The first 2,000 fans will also receive a limited edition baseball with the Operation Shoebox New Jersey logo. Bring your cameras to record this magnificent red, white and blue tribute. Special tickets to the July 4th game are available by calling (908) 698-0333. The Patriots have hosted several packings at the ballpark since 2005, when Operation Shoebox New Jersey first began to send personal care packages overseas. The volunteer organization has sent more than 35,000 packages to U.S. troops. "We are proud of our partnership with the Somerset Patriots, an organization that exemplifies the compassion and patriotism that serve as the foundation of Operation Shoebox New Jersey," said Rod Hirsch, founder and executive director. "Spending a day at the ballpark is a true American tradition, symbolized by the huge American flag in centerfield, a stirring reminder of the pride and dedication of US military personnel serving overseas."

Don't remember attending meeting about Musharraf, says Fazl
Speaking at a press conference at Khair-ul-Madaris, JUI-F Ameer Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that he was not completely satisfied with the performance of the federal government but it is his duty to give correct suggestions to the government.
"The situation of the country is critical. There should be political stability and democracy should go on", Fazl said.
Ameer JUI-F stated that the anti-United States mentality cannot be finished till we remain coalition partners of the US.
Fazlur Rehman, while answering a question said that, that the peace talks with Taliban were nothing but a drama and there is a big difference between negotiations and a theatrics.
Speaking on the long march of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on 14th August, Fazl said that the sky will not fall down due to Chairman PTI Imran Khan's rally. He also said that holding rallies and marches are a democratic right of the people.
"No one can stage bigger rallies than us. PTI should be allowed to stage rallies but I think that organizing such even on Indepence Day should not be held", Fazl claimed.
Fazlur Rehman, while speaking on the Israel-Palestine issue, said that Muslim nation should be united.
He added that the politics of deals cannot end till the establishment is subjected to the constitution.

The paper argues that the social entrepreneur movement has a critical need to address the funding gaps in risk-taking capital for social enterprises. The new enterprises need investment if they are to grow and prove their innovations, and this needs to be investment that shares the risks of the enterprise.
But a dearth of such capital is hampering the sector's development ... and the authors of this paper are arguing that new instruments and stakeholder relationships need to arise if we are going to meet this challenge:
" Put simply, between the traditional approach to financing non-profit ventures through grants, fundraising and limited use of debt, and the traditional approach to financing for-profit ventures through market-rate private equity and debt, there is a funding gap into which an increasing number of social enterprises are falling ... Innovation in the allocation of capital for social change is needed if existing vehicles are falling short of accomplishing our objectives." — Emmerson, Freudlich and Fruchterman
— "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained: Addressing the Critical Gaps in Risk-Taking Capital for Social Enterprise" by Jed Emmerson, Tim Freundlich and Jim Fruchterman, published 2006 by the Skoll Centre, Oxford University

Since apple obvisously needs more money along with the mountain they make charging folk for their products and taking from samsung, once they ripped everyone off and have more money than anyone, they can fund the world then so that there is no starving people no one unemplyed, no coutries in debt. WELL DONE APPLE, i will like you only then
Really??? When Samsung gets a victory it is tossed...But Apple can win the most ridiculous ones....And if Samsung has a patent it immediately means it's only to use against Apple.....So even though they hold the patent and it's valid....It now does not count....AND WHAT ON EARTH DO THEY THINK APPLE BUYS AND STEALS ALL THEIR PATENTS FOR??????? To use against people....But that is for sure and ok.....Seems the Uk court is the only one that ever treated Samsung with any fairness...
Despite apple using copied and stolen ideas with nearly everything. Even the names Iphone and Ipad were stolen. The Iphone design was stolen. Ipad heavily inspired. They buy and copy all parts and architectures. They use photo shopped evidence. They lie and try and sue everyone. But....They do no wrong. Their scheme to sue Samsung for more money then they pay for Samsung parts made their intentions of wanting profit off free parts more than obvious....Yet people continually let this go on....
Apple is even in the process of getting possible approval for a patent for their store set up. Glass and table placement and what not....Seriously?????????
It's all about the name and money in the end....What a sad pathetic world we live in.
The truth i simple: When you steal and profit from it - finally you pay 10 times the profit. Especially if your name is Samsung:)))
This whole trail is a fix as the Judge used to work for Apple as there Patent officer and it being within miles of Apple HQ
Anonymous, 22 Jan 2014I though apple and Samsung were going talk this out like grown ups not kids With apple that is not possible

Thunder rumbles overhead and I almost drop my notebook. The sky has turned an eerie shade of grey and it's starting to rain hard.
Now I'm not a big storm fan under any circumstances and sitting in a graveyard talking about ghosts and witchcraft is the last place I want to be when lightning strikes.
The two people sitting with me don't seem bothered though; they joke about how atmospheric this is.
Only a few moments ago we had been talking about a severed hand that was buried in this very churchyard in Pimperne near Blandford.
In December 1780, they tell me, there was violent confrontation between a gang of poachers and some gamekeepers at Chettle Down in North Dorset, during which one of the poachers had a hand shot off.
He fled to London and the hand was buried in St Peter's cemetery.
But since his death it is said lanes around the village have been haunted by the bloody hand, crawling along the ground trying to find the arm it once belonged too. This is one of seemingly endless tales and supernatural snippets in Robert Newland and Mark North's newly-published book Dark Dorset. The authors, who both live in the county, have known each other since they were children and live next door to each other.
They started working on the collection of mysterious stories in 1998 and have done all the illustrations themselves.
Just a glance at the index shows even Dorset's most pretty and tranquil villages are associated with dark tales.
Some have been told before, some have been resurrected from books now out of print and others are new, including some Mark's grandparents used to tell him when he was a child.
They wanted to log as many legends as possible passed down through families and communities before story-telling becomes a thing of the past.
"We have recorded stories that might get lost in future generations. People don't tell tales now," said Mark. "Some of the stories are not very pleasant. People seem to enjoy those more."
One chapter tells the tale of Murderers Lane in West Dorset. It was so named after two men murdered a farmer there in a bungled robbery in 1694.
They were sentenced to be gibbeted alive in the place they committed the terrible crime. They were clamped in iron cages, hung from a tree and left for the crows.
They were there for many months until the birds had picked off every last piece of rotting flesh. The ghost of the farmer has been seen haunting the lane.
As recently as 1949 a woman told how, as a terrified child, her father - told her to stand aside as the farmer's ghostly horse and cart went past.
The book also tells of how in 1970 archaeology students camped at Badbury Rings – claimed to be the site of a great battle where the legendary King Arthur killed at least 160 men single-handed — heard marching, the sound of metal clashing and shouting in a language they did not understand.
And how children said they were visited by a horse-like devil in Poole and young men fled a barn near Shaftesbury after realising that a mysterious gentleman who asked to join in their secret card game was in fact the Devil.
The book, published by Oakmagic Publications, includes reports of strange weather phenomena in the Bournemouth and Poole area and tales of fairies, mermaids and big cat sightings.
Research included compiling information from articles in local newspapers, including the Daily Echo
Mark said Dorset's dark side was very under-rated.
Thumbing through the paperback book, Robert added: "Some people, perhaps for some reason, don't seem to push it.
"But Dorset does have plenty of folklore that's not well known"
They say some legends were embroidered to keep people away from where they were not wanted - a convenient tool for those involved in the illegal smuggling trade in years gone by.
But when a storm is brewing, the skies get dark and wind screams, through the quiet country lanes of Dorset, who can be sure?
Dark Dorset is priced at £12.95 and can be ordered via the internet at www.oakmagicpublications.com. The ISBN Number is 1 904330 002
Dark Dorset: Cabinet of Curiosities, featuring props, models, pictures and information on the legends and folkore featured in the book, will be on display at the Dorchester Library from Monday, July 15, to Saturday, July 27.

Abstract: The host immune response against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is multi-faceted, with the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response playing a significant role in controlling the virus. However, it is uncertain what mechanism(s) these CTLs utilize to suppress virus replication. Previous research utilizing mathematical modeling and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) showed that CTLs most likely have a non-cytolytic effect against infected cells, but these data are not universally accepted in the field. I hypothesized that CTLs exert the majority of their cytolytic function against infected cells containing virus that has yet to be integrated, due to minimal viral cytopathic effects at this stage. To test this hypothesis, I modeled the impact of CD8+ T cells through experimental CD8+ cell depletion on the pre- and post-integration stages of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection on both plasma viral load and 2-LTR circles. Model predictions were tested in the pathogenic SIVmac251-infected rhesus macaques (RMs) receiving the integrase inhibitor raltegravir (RAL) monotherapy with or without CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T cell depletion was profound and lasted throughout RAL therapy, with administration resulting in an immediate and sustained suppression of CD8+ cells. CD4+ cells recovered slightly during RAL treatment. The estimated efficacy of RAL in preventing integration was 97%. We next calculated the loss rate of infected cells prior to integration and determined that this loss rate was reduced by 82% in the CD8+ cell depletion with RAL treatment group compared to the RAL monotherapy group, but also that viral production increased 2.5 times in the absence of CD8+ cells. Further, we observed that CD8+ cell depletion by itself increases 2-LTR circles, RAL monotherapy does not affect 2-LTR circle levels, and combination treatment increases 2-LTR circle levels faster than CD8 depletion alone. Upon fitting an extended viral dynamics model to the 2-LTR data, we conclude that the data best matches the hypothesis that CD8+ cells exert a killing effect on infected cells prior to integration, supporting our hypothesis. We attempted to analyze the effects of RAL intensification on 2-LTR circle dynamics, but we were unable to due to the development of resistance mutations, reinforcing the fact that in suboptimally ART-treated RMs, mutations do, indeed, occur, resulting in viral rebound during treatment. The public health significance of this dissertation is that by showing CD8+ cells kill cells containing virus prior to integration, we are aiding in the hunt for an elusive vaccine and/or cure against HIV.

When I started with the Ottawa Network for Education 12 years ago, I really did not know what I was getting into.
I was approached by a friend of mine to help present a day program to a grade eight class. At the time, I saw it as small way to give back to the community – a small time commitment where some kids would appreciate "fun" day off from their regular schedule. And while the program was that for the kids – for me it became much more.
After the session, I was speaking to some of the kids, and I truly understood the impact that the program, and that we the volunteers, had on them. I will always remember this one grade eight girl. She sat in the front row, in a bright pink, velour, track suit. Her goal – as disclosed by her to the class – was to drop out of school at 16 and work at her cousin's hair salon.
After we had presented our Economics for Success program, she made time to come and see us. She said that our presentation had changed some of her ideas. She said she thought that she would try to finish off high school. She said dropping out of school, might not be a good idea.
I do not know if she completed secondary school – but I like to think that we made her think about it. And I know that the Junior Achievement (JA) program made her re-evaluate her decisions.
Participating in the ONFE programs is something to which I look forward. I hope that the conversations, discussions, and presentations, will cause the children to pause, think, and foster new ideas and new lines of thought. To some this may seem unlikely, even laughable. But I have seen its impact. And I know the value it can bring.
It makes me proud to stand in front of a group and tell them I work for an organization like CIBC that supports it community through programs like JA Business Basics, JA Economics for Success, and JA Titan Program.
I call on everyone to stand up and try to add value to their community. The programs are fun, and the rewards gratifying.

The Advantages Of Using Business Internet
There has been a paradigm shift in the way businesses, and virtually everything else in the manner in which things are run. The use of paper works, physically covering the long distance to deliver messages, the slow, unreliable communication infrastructure, etc., are no longer there nowadays. More and more people are embracing the use of the current technology features to manage their affairs. Technology ranges from the software element to the hardware components that enable, facilitate and

The news follows an even sharper drop in the previous month, as prices fell 0.7 per cent on September.
Prices have either fallen or stagnated since June, according to Nationwide's statistics.
The average house price in the UK is now £163,398, whereas in June houses were averaging over £170,000, more than 3.9 per cent higher.
The announcement echoes recent gloomy news for the housing market from other sources.
On Monday the Bank of England declared that mortgage approvals sank to an eight month low in October, totalling just 47,185.
And that afternoon the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecast a 3.1 per fall in prices for the coming year, despite predicting strong economic growth and a rise in employment.
But these factors are unlikely to make much difference to the housing slump, according to Howard Archer of IHS Global Insight.
Low real wages and continuing difficulties in securing mortgages (particularly for first time buyers) are likely to maintain the housing markets woes, he said.
And this is despite low interest rates and the stamp duty holiday for first time buyers.
"House prices will lose around 10 per cent of their value from peak 2010 levels by the end of 2011," he said.
"This would see average house prices fall to £153,100 as house prices have another 6 per cent to fall."
The pessimistic outlook is not equally spread throughout the UK. "London continues to outperform the rest of the country, and should be seen as a separate market in its own right," said Peter Rollings of estate agent Marsh & Parsons.
Demand from foreign buyers and cash buyers is circumventing the credit problems in the UK mortgage lending sector, he said.
"And with bonus season on the way, we anticipate many City workers taking advantage of the increased choice of properties on the market," he added.

"Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions" or "in your word" — Psalm 119:18 in the New Living Translation.
Why start yet another blog?
Someone asked me earlier this year if I knew any plans to read the whole Bible in one year. This led to an article in our church magazine, which led to another, and grew into a third. But what to do with these articles? So, a blog seems as good a place to put them as any. Plenty of people write about Bible reading, but this is an attempt to bring some stuff together which I hope will be useful to other people.
Here's a quote I found somewhere and wrote into an old Bible of mine. Old-fashioned perhaps, but worth saying:
This book contains: the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the hope of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its stories are true and its decisions are immutable. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveller's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's comass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gate of Hell disclosed. God in Christ, the grand object.
It should fill all the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, a river of pleasure. It is given to you in life, will be opened at the judgement, and be remebered forever. It involves the highest responsibilitiy, will reward the labourer, and condemn all those who trifle with its contents.

|Top riots: 1960s
|Top strikes
May 1968, referring to the period when the events occurred in France, saw the largest general strike that ever stopped the economy of an advanced industrial country,[1] the first wildcat general strike in history,[1] and a series of student occupation protests. The prolonged strike involved eleven million workers for two weeks in a row,[1] and its impact was such that it almost caused the collapse of the government of President Charles de Gaulle. Such explosion was provoked by groups in revolt against modern consumer and technical society, embracing left-wing positions that were even more critical of Stalinist totalitarianism than of Western capitalism.[2] The movement contrasted with the labor unions and the French Communist Party (Parti Communiste Français, PCF), which started to side with the de Gaulle government in the goal of containing the revolt.[1]
Many saw the events as an opportunity to shake up the "old society" and traditional morality, focusing especially on the education system and employment.[citation needed] It began as a long series of student strikes that broke out at a number of universities and lycées in Paris, following confrontations with university administrators and the police. The de Gaulle administration's attempts to quash those strikes by police action only inflamed the situation further, leading to street battles with the police in the Latin Quarter, followed by a general strike by students and strikes throughout France by eleven million French workers, roughly two-thirds of the French workforce. The protests reached such a point that de Gaulle created a military operations headquarters to deal with the unrest, dissolved the National Assembly and called for new parliamentary elections for 23 June 1968.
The government was close to collapse at that point (de Gaulle had even taken temporary refuge at an air force base in Germany), but violence evaporated almost as quickly as it arose. Workers went back to their jobs, after a series of deceptions by the Confédération Générale du Travail (the leftist union federation) and the PCF. When the elections were finally held in June, the Gaullist party emerged even stronger than before.
May 1968 was a political failure for the protesters, but it had an enormous social impact. In France, it is considered to be the watershed moment when a conservative moral ideal (religion, patriotism, respect for authority) shifted towards a more liberal moral ideal (equality, sexual liberation, human rights) that today better describes French society, in theory if not in practice.[citation needed] Although this change did not take place solely in this one month, the term mai 68 is used to refer to this general shift in principles, especially when referring to its most idealistic aspects.
On 22 March far-left groups, a small number of prominent poets and musicians, and 150 students, occupied an administration building at Paris University at Nanterre and held a meeting in the university council room dealing with class discrimination in French society and the political bureaucracy that controlled the school's funding.
The school's administration called the police, who surrounded the university. After the publication of their wishes, the students left the building without any trouble. After this first record, some leaders of what was named the "Movement of 22 March" were called together by the disciplinary committee of the university.
Following months of conflicts between students and authorities at the University of Paris at Nanterre, the administration shut down that university on 2 May 1968. Students at the Sorbonne University in Paris met on 3 May to protest against the closure and the threatened expulsion of several students at Nanterre. On Monday, 6 May, the national student union, the Union Nationale des Étudiants de France (UNEF) — still the largest student union in France today — and the union of university teachers called a march to protest against the police invasion of Sorbonne. More than 20,000 students, teachers and supporters marched towards Sorbonne, still sealed off by the police, who charged, wielding their batons, as soon as the marchers approached. While the crowd dispersed, some began to create barricades out of whatever was at hand, while others threw paving stones, forcing the police to retreat for a time. The police then responded with tear gas and charged the crowd again. Hundreds more students were arrested.
High school student unions spoke in support of the riots on 6 May. The next day, they joined the students, teachers and increasing numbers of young workers who gathered at the Arc de Triomphe to demand that:
On Friday, 10 May, another huge crowd congregated on the Rive Gauche. When the riot police again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd again threw up barricades, which the police then attacked at 2:15 in the morning after negotiations once again foundered. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day. The events were broadcast on radio as they occurred and the aftermath was shown on television the following day. Allegations were made that the police had participated, through agents provocateurs, in the riots, by burning cars and throwing Molotov cocktails [3].
The government's heavy-handed reaction brought on a wave of sympathy for the strikers. Many of the nation's more mainstream singers and poets joined after the heavy-handed police brutality came to light. American artists also began voicing support of the strikers. The PCF reluctantly supported the students, whom it regarded as adventurers and anarchists, and the major left union federations, the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and the Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), called a one-day general strike and demonstration for Monday, 13 May.
Well over a million people marched through Paris on that day; the police stayed largely out of sight. Prime Minister Georges Pompidou personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of Sorbonne. However, the surge of strikes did not recede. Instead, the protesters got even more active.
When Sorbonne reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous "people's university". Approximately 401 popular action committees were set up in Paris, including the Occupation Committee of Sorbonne, and elsewhere in the weeks that followed to take up grievances against the government and French society.
In the following days, workers began occupying factories, starting with a sit-down strike at the Sud Aviation plant near the city of Nantes on 14 May, then another strike at a Renault parts plant near Rouen, which spread to the Renault manufacturing complexes at Flins in the Seine Valley and the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt. By 16 May, workers had occupied roughly fifty factories, and by 17 May, 200,000 were on strike. That figure snowballed to two million workers on strike the following day and then ten million, or roughly two-thirds of the French workforce, on strike the following week.
These strikes were not led by the union movement; on the contrary, the CGT tried to contain this spontaneous outbreak of militancy by channeling it into a struggle for higher wages and other economic demands. Workers put forward a broader, more political and more radical agenda, demanding the ousting of the government and President de Gaulle and attempting, in some cases, to run their factories. When the trade union leadership negotiated a 35% increase in the minimum wage, a 7% wage increase for other workers, and half normal pay for the time on strike with the major employers' associations, the workers occupying their factories refused to return to work and jeered their union leaders.
On 25 May and 26 May, the Grenelle agreements were signed at the Ministry of Social Affairs. They provided for an increase of the minimum wage by 25% and of the average salaries by 10%. These offers were rejected, and the strike went on. The working class and top intellectuals were joining in solidarity for a major change in workers' rights.
On 27 May, the meeting of the UNEF, the most outstanding of the events of May 1968, proceeded and gathered 30,000 to 50,000 people in the Stade Sebastien Charlety. The meeting was extremely militant with speakers demanding the government be overthrown and elections held.
On 29 May, Charles de Gaulle fled to the headquarters of the French military in Germany, in Baden-Baden, to meet general Jacques Massu; he came back the next day. Though this move was initially appraised as a political maneuver, Massu's later testimony was that Charles de Gaulle was really disheartened when he arrived in Baden.[4]
On 30 May, 400,000 to 500,000 protesters (many more than the 50,000 the police were expecting) led by the CGT marched through Paris, chanting, "Adieu, de Gaulle!" (Meaning: "Farewell, de Gaulle.")
On May 30, de Gaulle dissolved the National Assembly by a radio appeal. Immediately after, de Gaulle's supporters, around 800,000, marched through the Champs-Elysées.
While the government appeared to be close to collapse, de Gaulle remained firm, even though he had had to go into hiding. After ensuring that he had sufficient loyal military units mobilized to back him if push came to shove, he went on the radio the following day (the national television service was on strike) to announce the dissolution of the National Assembly, with elections to follow on 23 June.[5] He ordered workers to return to work, threatening to institute a state of emergency if they did not.
From that point, the revolutionary feeling of the students and workers faded away. Workers gradually returned to work or were ousted from their plants by the police. The national student union called off street demonstrations. The government banned a number of leftist organizations. The police retook the Sorbonne on 16 June. De Gaulle triumphed in the legislative elections held in June, and the crisis came to an end. On Bastille Day, there were resurgent street demonstrations in the Latin Quarter, led by leftist students wearing red arm-bands and anarchist students wearing black arm-bands. The Paris police and the Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité responded with brutal repression starting around 10 p.m. and continuing through the night, on the streets, in police vans, at police stations, and in hospitals where many wounded were taken.[citation needed] There was, as a result, much bloodshed among many students and tourists there for the evening's festivities.[citation needed] No charges were filed against police or demonstrators, but the governments of the UK and West Germany filed formal protests, including for the indecent assault of two English schoolgirls by police in a police station.[citation needed]
It is difficult to identify precisely the politics of the students who sparked the events of May 1968, much less of the hundreds of thousands who participated in them. There was, however, a strong strain of anarchism, particularly in the students at Nanterre. While not exhaustive, the graffiti gave a sense of the millenarian and rebellious spirit, tempered with a good deal of verbal wit, of the strikers (the anti-work graffiti shows the considerable influence of the Situationist movement).[citation needed]

An online payday loan – or a payday advance — is a short-term and little loan.
It is intended to be taken for emergency purposes plus must be settled on the following payday.
The first step to take when looking for the best payday loan lender is to go through customer reviews. Reviews think if a company actually is available and how long it's been running a business. And sometimes many bad reviews are not always an undesirable thing, and that's because it is almost always people who have had a bad encounter who leave feedback.
Anyways, I had one more time lined up and I decided which I would deactivate my user profile on this dating site regardless of whether she was a keeper delete word. This woman, who we are going to call Jennifer, showed plenty of promise. She was payday loan really well-spoken, did not drink heavily/carry a badge and weapon, actually had a full-time work, and did not have any kind of ex-boyfriend issues that I understood of. Jennifer worked as a veterinary assistant, which I believed was nice because the girl liked animals. I had been a dog person, and I specifically liked the big dogs such as labs and retrievers, to ensure that became frequent on the internet topic for us. She appeared like a down-to-Earth, normal young lady and yes, I did notice several pictures of the girl before agreeing to meet.
When a financial emergency hits, cash advances are the perfect method to manage it
When your expenditures go beyond your budget, you can get the money needed through the payday loan assist. You don't have to trouble your friends plus relatives for your financial requirements. You can apply for online loans by means of online companies. The mortgage amount will be withdrawn out of your account on your next short term. This easy and hassle-free financial loans will really help to tide on the worst times in your life.
Well-informed middle-class consumers along with gleaming credit scores understand the important need to avoid that headache by never making actually one late credit card transaction.
These cash financial loans are short-term by nature plus grant you monetary help ranging from 100 to truck for the short period of fourteen to 31 days. You may also adjust the repayment time according to your payday. By making use of loan amount you can satisfy your needs like telephone costs, medical bill, electricity bill, vehicle repair, grocery bill and so forth.
I attained the bar she stated and immediately noticed 2 things: first, for a "decent" part of town, there was a lot of gang graffiti and a significant number of payday loan/check cashing places. Second, my brand new truck stuck out just like a sore thumb. Before I really could have a second thought about bouncing back into the truck plus taking off faster than a redneck at a gay bar, an attractive red-haired woman approached myself and introduced herself since Jennifer.
Just make sure the bank account you provided on the web will have enough funds or even money for your repayment. Your own agreed repayment date or even due date will be directly debited from that valid banking account you have provided online.

MINNEAPOLIS (CBS.MW) -- The General Mills board of directors will meet Sunday to consider its proposed $10.5 billion purchase of Pillsbury from Britain's Diageo, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Citing unidentified executives close to the deal, the newspaper said the companies could announce the deal as early as Monday.
The consumer food industry has seen a wave of recent mergers, largely paralleling a consolidation trend in the grocery business.
General Mills (GIS) has offered $4.5 billion in cash and $6 billion in stock for Pillsbury, the newspaper said. The deal would give Diageo (DEO) a 33 percent stake in the combined company. Diageo would also get two seats on the General Mills board.
The reports said the deal, if completed, would make General Mills an attractive takeover target. The acquisition would broaden the company's product lines, adding Pillsbury's ice cream and frozen food lines to General Mills stable of cereal brands, such as Cheerios, and other products.
Shares of General Mills fell 11/16 Friday to 36 5/16 while Diageo lost 1/2 to 35 13/16.

Is China Taking Over The Solar Market?
Just $68 million of this loan has been used and some of this is expected to be recovered. The company has cited huge competition from Chinese solar panel suppliers which is leading to plummeting prices.
Abound is not the only solar panel company to have hit major problems. Solyndra collapsed last year and had also received federal funding. This time to the tune of $535 million. Obviously these failures are being seen as evidence by the Republicans that the support of cleaner energy is a waste of taxpayers money. Do they have a point?
So how is it that a country which has only just started to recognize the need to clean up their environment, can produce green products cheaper and more efficiently than an American company who has had government backing to such a degree?
What on earth are the Chinese doing better? It all comes down to cheap manufacturing and huge capacity. In fact there has been such an oversupply of solar panels to the market that there is a glut. The fact is that we all know that China can produce certain electronics more cheaply than the US could ever hope to. That is why Apple choose to manufacture their products in the far East.
But what happened to supporting American industry and applying the principles of buying local to the green market as well and well as the farmers market? The government has gotten behind the idea and is putting their money where their mouth is. But the US public just don't want to pay more for a product they can get cheaper from a Chinese manufacturer.
The Obama administration truly believes that the green sector could be what the American economy is looking for. It provides jobs, increases trade and improves the environment all at the same time. But this is simply not possible if we cannot compete. Right now, no amount of government subsidy, cheap loans or government marketing is going to make the US average consumer pay more for a green product.
It seems that the government would be better placed to stop alienating the US taxpayer by supporting companies which cannot compete and use that money to encourage the purchase of these cheap solar panels from China. The result could be a net decrease in the amount of energy used and a fairer distribution of tax dollars.
Politically it might just be what the current government is looking for. Lower energy bills for the average consumer, an improving environment for the green supporters and more money available for more worthwhile projects for the taxpayer. It sounds like a win win – except for the business owners and their employees, of course.

I will probably never carve a pumpkin again after last year's rotten pumpkin splatter fiasco, so I'll just look at this and pretend I made it. :)
So cute!! I would put black sprinkles on the top and a witch hat over the stick and make a face with icing.you could even make a pointed nose out of part of an apple with a black pearl for the wart.

The lower court ruled that the Indian tax system has jurisdiction over tax bills in cross-border mergers.
Vodafone, which is fighting a tax bill in India from its 2007 purchase of Hutchison Whampoa's mobile business in the country, filed an appeal with the Bombay High Court in June challenging the tax department's jurisdiction over the bill.
The court dismissed its petition but said Indian tax authorities would not issue a final order to Vodafone for the next eight weeks, even though tax proceedings would continue. Vodafone was free to separately raise with them the issue of its liability to deduct tax on the transaction, it said.
After the court ruling, Vodafone said that it would consider its next steps, which included the option of an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Vodafone, which paid $11.1bn (£7.18bn) for the deal with Hutchison, has not said how much the authorities were seeking but it is estimated at around $2.6bn.
Indian tax authorities have said Vodafone's deal was liable for tax because most of the assets were based in India and, under Indian law, buyers have to withhold capital gains tax liabilities and pay them to the government. Vodafone has earlier said Indian law did not require it to deduct tax and that capital gains tax is usually paid by the seller.

Next day (Hex 7)…
The morning after we discuss our plans to raid the bandit camp with Lord Kesten Garess we rise early and head out in the direction of the camp. Along the way, we notice lots of bones scattered all over the ground — kobold, animal, etc. Suddenly the ground begins to move and shake beneath our feet, as if there's something underground. It's a giant spider! It leaps out of a hole and attacks; we fight and eventually roast it with alchemist's fire. We drag the carcass out of its hole, and notice there's a shaft leading downward. We lower Nelbin down the hole on a rope. He finds the body of a bandit down at the bottom and loots leather armor, some nice doeskin boots, a short sword, some gold and a Stag Lord amulet from the body. Also he finds a map in one of the boots — on it is a drawing of a tree that looks like a claw on a barren hillside; on it is a red X marking "treshure."
Next day (Hex 8)…
Riding through some craggy hills, we find a 5 ft. wide crack that leads into a cave. We go in and discover there's a huge vein of gold in the wall. We mark it on our map "potential mining locale." We exit & conceal its entrance.
Next day (Hex 9)…
We arrive at the bandit camp. Nelbin talks to a bird, who tells us that there are currently 6 bandits there. Nelbin does a sleep spell on a guard up in a tree; August climbs up and assassinates him (and subsequently finds a thunderstone on the body).
A battle ensues. We kill 8 bandits (way to count, bird!), and capture Kressle.
Loot: 7 longbows; 8 shortswords; 8 daggers; 8 sets of leather armor; Kressle's 2 masterwork hand axes; 200 g. worth of furs; 90 g.p., 321 s.p.; silver earrings; a wooden music box; 8 bottles of absinthe; 2 Stag Lord amulets.
Back at Oleg's…
We cage up Kressle. Lord Kesten Garess awards us our promised mastercrafted weapons.
While there, Nelbin has to leave — There's a half orc fighter named Lochnar at the fort who takes Nelbin's place in our party. (Something about being hired to look for Nelbin's parents?) Also joining our party is Drixt, a half elf ranger.
Kressel summons Sirene, saying she wants to give the cleric her last confession. Tells Sirene all about the Stag Lord — says he's a drunk. He usually has at least a dozen men and several lieutenants with him (one of which she says is a fallen paladin). She says the password to get into his camp is "By the Bloody Bones of Saint Gilmog!" (and the proper reply is "who wants to know?"). She tells Sirene that the Stag Lord's men are terrified of him… He has a horrible appearance — scary! — and lots of his men think that's his actual face, but Kressel thinks it's just a helmet.
Oleg tells us what he knows about that awful hunter — which isn't much. He says the dude's name is Breeg Oglavich and he's a misanthrope. (no shit!)
Svetlana makes us breakfast. While we're eating she jabbers on about some people she's worried about — she wants us to check on them. One of them is a hermit named Bokken, who makes potions. The other is a guy named Darvic Nettles, who runs a ferry across the Thorn River. She hasn't seen or heard from them in a long time. And "oh yeah, don't forget that Tatzlwyrm head I want!" Gimme, gimme, gimme. Sheesh.
Next day …
We head out. We explore 10 & 11 without incident.
Hex 12
We find Bokken's hut (which is weird, with a creepy talking door). He invites us in and gives us some disgusting root tea, and brags about some potions he has for sale. They're very tempting; we want to buy some, but we can't afford them. He makes us a deal: he'll give us 50% off every potion he's got for a whole month if we get him some Fangberries. He also tells us that Grigs like sweets and will leave us alone if we give them sweets… He offers us some honey to purchase for this purpose; says it will come in handy. We also buy 5 anti-venom potions. He offers to allow us to spend the night there; we gratefully accept.
Next day (Hex 13)…
While exploring we find a rock jutting out of the ground. It's a cave! We send Lochnar in (with his darkvision and all). After he tells us it looks clear, we follow him in. Further in we come upon a pile of rubbish (odd). Keep going, and the passage leads into a room. There's a fire with something cooking, and yet another pile of rubbish in the corner… under which something is moving! We look closer and notice that's no pile of rubbish!! It's a giant figure! We hear sobbing…. We call out "who's there?" This thing looks up — it's HIDEOUS!! It's a super deformed ogre who tells us he's been cursed by a "fey queen." Just then another hideous ogre comes in and they both decide they're going to eat us. Goody.
A trap is sprung, and we fall 20 feet through the floor and into a pit. And the door slams shut over us. After much ineffectual rumination, we finally decide to oil ourselves up and squeeze out through a narrow escape tunnel. We emerge in the daylight to find one of the g.d. ogres standing by our horses, eyeing them hungrily.
A horrible fight ensues. After much frustration and ass-kicking, we finally kill him… only to be faced with the second ogre. Another hideous fight… The ogre is finally slain, with August dealing the death blow with his telekinetic fist!
We go back into the cave to check it out. It has veins of black powder that can be used for alchemy. Petra inspects the bodies and decides they're Thawns, also known as mud giants. They're so ugly don't even like looking at each other.
Next day (Hex 14)…
We suddenly come to the Crooked Tree from that treasure map we'd found in the boot at the spider cave! We dig and find some booty… wrapped in a heavy leather cloak: a masterwork dagger; a magical wand of burning hands; a silver ring (really nice, but not magic); an old spell book.
Next day (Hex 15)…
We make it to the Shrike River. There's a really old, rickety bridge. After MUCH vigorous debate, the decision is made to not cross here; it is decided that the bridge will not hold our horses, and we don't want to go without them.
That night as we're camping… A humanoid figure sneaks up to our camp, and when we call out, it croaks in reply. Boggards! Seven of them in all. They tell us they're looking for one of their own who tried to kill their "god-king." This villain's name is Garum, and he has a maimed left hand. They tell us they'll be traveling up and down the river, and if we kill Garum they'll give us 1,000 g.p. — But we need to provide the hand as proof. Apparently Garum is extremely dangerous; not only does he have 2 pet slurks, aka saber-toothed toads with squirty venom, but he's also very tricksy. He'll try to trick us! For this reason we must kill him on sight, do not let him speak!
Next day (Hex 16)…
We come across a huge sycamore tree, very ancient and imposing, an obvious landmark. Drixt identifies some tracks at its base as both fey and kobold, and the tracks lead into a hole at the base of the tree. Drixt and Kilia go down into the hole, where they encounter 3 mites. They kill 2 and one gets away.
The rest of the party joins them down there, and encounter more mites. We pursue them into a room where we see 10 mites, as well as several kobolds who are bound and being held captive by these mites. After killing the mites in this room we examine the kobolds and discover that all but one of them is dead. He tells us his name is Mekmek and he's from the Sootscale Tribe. They came to this cavern to retrieve their sacred idol, and the mites captured them. We free him and try to find a way out; it continues to lead into more & more rooms, all the while encountering more mites which we have to fight, as well as a nasty giant tick and a giant centipede. It's grueling, but we manage to kill these and press on.
Further into the cave, we find a statue of Zargoz, Mekmek's lost idol, as well as a map to the Sootscale Camp, and a piece of paper, upon which is written "Us: kobold statue, lots of spears, coins. Them: magic dust, lots of coins, shiny human ring."
After this we encounter yet more mites… Lochnar intimidates them and they're easy pickins. Also we slay an icky mite menage a trios. Gross. We finally make it out of this cave. Whew.
Next day (Hex 17)…
After resting up for the night, we head toward the Sootscale Caves to take Mekmek home. When we arrive there we discover it's an old silver mine. Mekmek confers with some other kobolds, who allow us to enter, telling us to take the idol to Chief Sootscale.
We travel deeeeeeep into the caves. We're led to a room where we are told that a tyrannical priest named Tartuk forces them to sacrifice their own if they're deemed "not devout enough." Tartuk tells them that those who are not devout turn yellow. (??)
We meet Sootscale, who tells us he plans overthrow Tartuk and free the tribe of his tyranny! We use careful diplomacy to convince these kobolds to ally with us, telling them we'll help them overthrow Tartuk if they agree to forge an alliance with us here in the Stolen Lands. It is agreed.
We stage an attack on Tartuk and his kobold flunkies. There is of course an enormous fight, and Tartuk proves a challenging opponent, what with some general slipperiness and some crazy invisibility crap he can pull. But we finally manage to slay him. Sootscale is overjoyed and thanks us.
When searching the room after killing Tartuk, we find his journal. It's written in undercommon, which is very strange because that's totally NOT a kobold language. Come to find out….. Tartuk used to be a gnome! Long ago his village was besieged by ogres, and rather than fighting them he sided with the ogres. The ogres, however, were not so forthright, and they ended up killing Tartuk. Eventually the ogres were run off, and the surviving gnomes reincarnated Tartuk as a kobold as punishment for his treachery. Horribly bitter, he worked his way into a kobold tribe, using his wily sorcerer's ways. He worked his way through tribe after tribe, killing them all, and was working on this tribe, starting a war with the mites. (I somehow did not record the deal with why the "unfaithful" were yellow… I remember this had significance, but I don't know what. Oops.)
Tartuk's Loot:
302 g.p., 132 s.p., 7420 copper.
Masterwork light metal shield
(7) +1 flaming crossbow bolts
Pair of boots of elven kind
Masterwork cold iron sickle
+1 bracers of armor
+1 cloak of resistance
Wand of magic missiles
A soiled leather bag containing…..
13 platinum, 249 gold, 321 silver.
1 dose of dust of illusion
Sootscales LOOOOVE us — we're heroes! They pledge their alliance to us, and agree to sign a treaty to this effect.

Brett Lee recently said Kohli is best in the business currently, ignoring the likes of Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson. His longtime captain Ponting, however, feels it is still not time to settle the "best batsman" debate. Latest News from Sports News Desk
"To tell you the truth, I don't really care (who is the best batsmen at the moment). I just love to see all these guys playing (Kohli, Smith, Williamson and Root). There are a number of current players who are probably on a similar career path," said Ponting, who is in India promoting his home state of Tasmania as its brand ambassador.
"Kohli probably has got age on his side. His ODI career till this stage has been incredible. We also know what he did in last year's IPL (hitting four hundreds). He is an ultra-skilled and talented player. More importantly, he has got the attitude to want to be the best he can be and wants to lead his country in the best way possible."
"Smith and Williamson are in the same boat. Whoever I guess masters the mind games the best will be the one who ends up with the best career record," said the two-time World Cup winning captain further.
For the record, Kohli has hit 37 international hundreds while Root, Smith and Williamson have 18, 20 and 21 centuries to their names respectively.
While all four of them have played similar number of Tests, Kohli has played ODI cricket a lot more than his contemporaries, having already slammed 25 centuries.
The next question for Ponting was on the Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar comparison. The Australian, who himself has 71 international tons, second only to Tendulkar, said it is too early to compare the two Indians.
"I would say lets wait till Virat finishes his career. Virat is still very young. He could have a bad injury tomorrow and not play another game and then probably there will be no comparison with Sachin having played 200 Tests and Virat 50 or 60 odd. So there will be no comparison," said Ponting.
He also gave his thoughts on the proposed two-tier system in Tests but ended up criticising ODI cricket.
"Look I am all for adding as much context to all formats of the game as possible. The Test championship and the two division competition have been talked about for a long time and here we are now, still have not been able to come up with the right program."
"I think the question is more important for ODI cricket than Tests. ODI cricket is the format which is lacking the most context at the moment. You have a one off series, like Sri Lanka played Australia recently. It doesn't mean anything. Both teams want to win the series but there is nothing else riding on it. It is a great challenge (to come up with the right program for all formats)," said the 41-year-old.
