Gaza protests: 17 Palestinians killed in confrontations with Israeli forces
Israeli officials estimated tens of thousands of Palestinian protesters marched in Gaza toward the border fence between Israel and Gaza during protests called the March of Return. The march quickly turned bloody as Palestinian protesters and Israeli military clashed along the fence.
In northern Gaza, CNN witnessed at least two dozen people being taken away by ambulances in the span of half an hour as protests started across Gaza. They witnessed a small number of protesters in the crowd throwing rocks. People were injured by live rounds, rubber bullets and tear gas. The majority were young men — one woman was among the injured.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that thousands of Palestinians were "rioting throughout the Gaza Strip, rolling burning tires and hurling stones at the security fence and at IDF troops, who are responding with riot dispersal means and firing towards main instigators."
An IDF official warned any breach of Israeli sovereignty will be treated severely, following a week of numerous attempted and successful breaches of the border fence from Gaza.
Confrontations escalated into Saturday. Israeli fighter jets targeted three Hamas sites after an IDF position was shot at in northern Gaza, according to an IDF statement. Tank fire also targeted the three sites, following an exchange of fire.
The largest protest seen in Gaza in years coincided with Palestinian Land Day, which commemorates the confiscation of Palestinian-owned land in Israel in 1976.
Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, said the large crowds at the protests reflected the determination and will of the Palestinian people for the right of return, and to "break the siege" of Gaza.
Prior to Friday's protest, organizers said the march would be nonviolent, but they warned of possible military fire from Israeli forces.
Ahead of the protests, the IDF increased the troop presence and put snipers along the border fence.
An Israeli official told CNN that among those killed Friday were "known terrorists" including two members of Hamas, the political and militant group that controls Gaza.
In a statement released Friday evening, the IDF said it blamed Hamas for "all events and incidents taking place in today's protests."
In a tweet earlier Friday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman warned Gaza residents that Hamas is "risking your lives." He added that anyone who approached the border was "endangering his life."
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said 1,416 people were wounded as protesters marched toward the fence that separates Gaza from Israel. By the end of the day, the ministry spokesman in Gaza said there were 758 injuries from live bullets and 148 from rubber bullets, and the rest suffered from gas inhalation and other injuries.
Tent cities
Tent cities have been set up to host the marches, which are expected to continue through May 15 when Palestinians mark the anniversary of the "Nakba" ("Catastrophe"), the day after Israel declared independence in 1948. Roughly 700,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes during the subsequent Arab-Israeli war, which lasted for nearly a year.
The United States plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem around May 14, the 70th anniversary of Israel's declaration of independence, followed by "Nakba Day," increasing the potential for further protests and clashes.
The Trump administration said the decision was a "recognition of simple reality" and claimed it was not meant to prejudge final-status negotiations about the city's final borders, although Trump later said he had taken Jerusalem "off the table" when it came to any future peace negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he is holding Israeli authorities responsible for those killed Friday, and announced Saturday as a day of mourning.
CNN's Ian Lee reported from Gaza. CNN's Abeer Salman, Amir Tal and Ingrid Formanek reported from Jerusalem. CNN's Tamara Qiblawi wrote from Beirut, and Natalie Gallon and Jennifer Deaton contributed from Atlanta. Elizabeth Joseph also contributed.

War Against War! and the Necessity of Graphic War Photos• antiwar.com
Except that there is. But like other evidence of the horrors of WWII that didn't fit the good guy narrative ? say, footage of the effect of the atomic bombs on human beings, which were censored for decades ? the truly modern slaughter of the First World War is known in theory, but rarely seen.
Ernst Friedrich's 1924 polemic War Against War!, which was published in a new edition in March, defy that ease of categorization between the gentleman's statemate and the following war during which civilians were the easiest target.

1. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the sun and Earth and blocks all part of the sun.
2. The next total solar eclipse in the US is April 8th, 2024. It will visit Mexico, United States, and Canada.
3. Most calender years have 2 eclipses. There are usually 2 to 5 solar eclipses in a year, 5 in one year being super rare. Only 25 out of 5,000 years have had 5 solar eclipse. Last time it happened in 1935, the next is 2206.
4. There is four different types of eclipses that could occur. They are the Partial Eclipse, Annular Eclipse, the Total Eclipse, and the Hybrid Eclipse.
5. Indiana will have a total eclipse in 2024. Elkhart, South Bend, and the area we live will be in the Central and Southern limit of the total eclipse.
6. The dangers of looking at an eclipse without proper gear is one major one, and that is blindness. Looking at the sun directly with the naked eye damages the nerve in your eye that is sensitive to light, causing you to go blind if damaged bad enough.
7. The only safe way to look at a solar eclipse is with special-purpose solar filters in glasses. If you do not wear these, you could lose vision. Always inspect these glasses before using, if they are scratched, throw them out. Stand still and cover your eyes with the glasses before looking up at the eclipse. Always keep children supervised.
8. A musical connection made to the Solar Eclipse could be the song "Blinded By The Light." by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
9. An extra and interesting connection with a solar eclipse I have is Glaucoma. I was diagnosed with it when born. I thought this would be interesting because looking at an eclipse could make you blind, and glaucoma ALSO could make you blind, like me, because I can't see out my left eye. I just thought this was interesting and hopefully you do too... (:

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
NEW YORK — The International Boxing Federation deserves credit for mandating that four of the top ranked heavyweights fight one another for the right to challenge world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next year.
Former two-time heavyweight champion Chris Byrd, heavyweight title challenger Calvin Brock, and unbeaten heavys Alexander Povekin and Eddie Chambers will compete in a three-fight series to determine the No. 1-ranked IBF heavyweight contender.
"Right now the timing is perfect," said IBF ratings Chairman Darryl Peoples. "Wladimir Klitschko defended his mandatory against Lamon Brewster. That gives him a whole year before he makes his annual mandatory defense of the title."
Klitschko, who in 2005 was the IBF's No. 1-ranked contender, defeated No. 2. contender Samuel Peter (W 12), before knocking out Chris Byrd (KO 7) for the IBF title in April 2006. Klitschko has since knocked off the IBF's highest ranked contenders available: Calvin Brock, Ray Austin, and Lamon Brewster.
While fighters like Peter, Tony Thompson, Nikolai Valuev, and Evander Holyfield are preparing to fight for championships in other sanctioning bodies, the International Boxing Federation simply cannot elevate them to mandatory status.
Also, while the WBC, WBA, and WBO championship has changed hands in consecutive years, Klitschko has universally been accepted as the world heavyweight championship having retained his championship for 17 consecutive months.
The idea of having Byrd, Brock, Chambers, and fight each other for a title opportunity is a great idea. However, Should either Byrd or Brock emerge victorious, would it make sense of Klitschko to fight either fighter again? Klitschko is a combined 3-0, with 2 KOs against both fighters.
"That's something that's best answered by Wladimir," Peoples said. "In my opinion, Klitschko will fight anyone you put in front of him."
Overall, Peoples is receptive to the idea of having two veteran fighters in Byrd and Brock against young heavys Povekin and Chambers.
"You have two young guns against two established guys in the heavyweight division," Peoples said. "You're going to see new faces. This could be a shot in the arm the heavyweight division needs. The heavyweight division has no new blood."
Peoples added: "In the words of IBF President Marian Muhammad, it's a matter of who lost last and who lost best."
Peoples believe that some individuals feel as though the sanctioning bodies are the most terrible thing on this earth. At least the IBF has taken more of an active initiative in mandating that certain fighters fight one another by legitimately earning a higher ranking rather than being given a ranking based on political relationships and corruptive interests.
"Some media outlets and some individuals think the sanctioning bodies and the heavyweight division are the most awful thing in the world," Peoples said. "The only time you may see something positive is if Wladimir unifies the heavyweight title."
Peoples also believes that its because of the IBF championship policies that has put fighters, such as, former lightweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley and current middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, in a position to be showcased legitimate worlds champions worthy of a title shot.
"When Arthur Abraham was highly ranked by the IBF people would say this is bogus," Peoples said. "When Shane Mosley won the IBF lightweight title from Philip Holiday, no one on the East Coast knew who Mosley was."
"Everyone on the West Coast did. After Mosley beat Holiday, he became a star. That goes back to their outstanding amateur careers. These guys were already at the cusp of stardom."
"Part of the thing with professional athletes," Peoples added, "They love medals and trophies. Before money got involved, they loved belts. Roy Jones Jr. liked his. Bernard Hopkins liked his."
The IBF continues to provide fighters with opportunities to become recognizable champions. They're flexing a little muscle by mandating four fighters that normally wouldn't have fought one another because of promotional interests.
Chambers, Brock, Byrd, and Povekin should make for a series of good fights.

Christmas Piñatas are a great alternative to traditional desserts combining the fun of breaking it up with the surprise of discovering the delicious treasures hidden inside.

Shiny Sparkly Christmas
No matter the format, chocolate creations dress upfor the festive season, either putting on a Christmas outfit with pretty deer, penguin, snowflake ot Santa prints, or going for a fancy make up, which is all about glitter these days. Stay with the elegant bronze, silver, gold, or dare for red, blue, purple, ...
Festive shapes and flavors
As to flavors, next to the all-time classics of orange, champagne and (salted) caramel, more and more winter desserts and drinks are finding their way into the Christmas bonbons and tablets: think gingerbread, mulled wine, apple strudel, pannetone, chai latte, and many more.
Focusing on the visual, the green-red-white combination evokes the cosy and warm feelings and makes a perfect gift. Or the Christmas tree with its lovely pine cones are always a winning way to stand out during the winter months.

I was really prepared for Winter this year. I made heaps of coats and jackets before the cold weather hit. This is one of them.
It was made using the New Look 6927 pattern.
I must be quite attracted to this style of jacket because I also bought this pattern.
I admit the top pattern is for 6 months to 4 years and the bottom one is for 3 - 8 years so I am sure to have at least one of these coats in my girls wardrobe for many years to come.
The fabric I used was thick stretchy ribbed material bought on special for less than $5 a metre.
It's great for keeing my girl warm, not so good for sewing buttonholes in though. Because I struggled so much getting the buttonholes to work, I opted for a press stud covered with a large matching pink button.
I added a little bow to the edge of the seam at the cuff.
This is a quick, easy pattern and worth a go if you're looking for a smart Winter coat.

Bryce Harper 'Unsure' About Signing with Phillies
Following the breaking news that Manny Machado had agreed to terms on a massive 10-year, $300 million deal with the San Diego Padres, the next superstar domino expected to fall is Bryce Harper.
Multiple reports are linking Harper with the Philadelphia Phillies, who are apparently willing to pay Harper's lofty price tag demand, but it's not a "slam dunk" that Harper lands in Philly.
According to SNY's Andy Martino, Harper is "unsure" about signing with the Phillies.
This echos a December report from the New York Post's Joel Sherman, one that says Harper wasn't "particularly" fond of playing in Philadelphia.
Harper to the Phillies may not be the slam dunk that reports indicate, which means a mystery team may be luring Harper in.

Autistic Photorealistic Pencil Artist
My name is Remrov. I'm an autistic savant and self-taught pencil artist who makes photorealistic pencil drawings of everything I find interesting, mainly animals. Because of my autism I see and experience the whole world differently and in tiny little details. My drawings tend to be this way too, very precise and detailed. When I'm out in public I often get very overwhelmed by all the sensory input I receive all at once, and this can be very chaotic. When I'm working on a drawing I only have to focus on one thing, the details of my drawing. This is one of the reasons why I love drawing so much.
I am a huge animal lover and I find it very important to help animals with my drawings. I often donate part of the proceeds of my work to good causes like the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie, and Chengeta Wildlife, and organization that fights against the poaching of African wildlife.
If you like to know more about me, come visit my website: www.remrovsartwork.com, or join my other fans on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/remrovsartwork
Besides being an artist I also devote my time on raising awareness and understanding about autism. In 2015 I started making videos in which I share my experiences and in which I talk about many different topics related to autism.

Atlanta Legal Aid Tags National Real Estate Investor With Lawsuit For Allegedly Screwing Over 17 Would-Be Homeowners By Unloading Dilapidated, Formerly Foreclosed Homes On Them Using Predatory 'Contract For Deed' Sale Agreements
- A lawsuit filed in federal court accuses a Texas firm of preying on would-be homebuyers in Atlanta.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court, includes 17 plaintiffs, who say they were misled by Harbour Portfolio and associated companies into thinking they were becoming owners when they signed agreements that effectively made them renters.
Harbour targeted black areas with the deals, known as "contracts for deed" or "land contracts," which gave the plaintiffs "all of the obligations of homeownership with none of the rights," according to the filing.
Officials at Dallas-based Harbour declined comment Thursday.
Several years ago, the company purchased thousands of foreclosed homes in a number of cities. They still own scores of homes in Atlanta, virtually all of them in African-American neighborhoods, according to Kristen Tullos, an attorney with Atlanta Legal Aid, which is representing the plaintiffs.
"This is the most recent development in predatory lending," she told the AJC. "They are targeting neighborhoods that have been hit time and time again."
***The lawsuit cites a University of Texas study found that over the course of two decades, about 45 percent of contract for deed purchasers defaulted. Fewer than 20 percent received a deed for the property.
In Fulton County, Harbour bought 85 properties between 2011 and 2015, according to the lawsuit. Of those purchasers, 34 have faced eviction.
It is not the first time that the company has been called out for what critics see as predatory practices. In April, the city of Cincinnati sued Harbour, alleging that the firm owed more than $360,000 in unpaid fines, fees and violation notices.
The city has charged the firm with failing to maintain homes, a neglect that the city says is linked to lead poising in a child.
Last year, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit in federal court against Harbour for actions in more than a dozen states. Regulators recently complained that Harbour has been complying with the subpoena too sluggishly.
Among the plaintiffs are some who are still in the houses owned by Harbour and some who have left or been forced out, said Tullos.
Harbour and others who use "contract for deeds" have argued in the past that the purchases typically have tainted credit histories, as well as limited or spotty income, so they are unable to get a mortgage.
The companies have argued that the "contract for deed" is a bridge to homeownership.
Only that, Tullos says, is not what happens. Instead, they are set-up for failure, while thinking they already own a home.
"The companies make it difficult for aspiring homeowners to ever achieve the goal of ownership – which is what they think they are doing," she said. "None of the people in this lawsuit understood. They believed they were becoming homeowners and they later found out they were functionally renters. That was devastating."
The lawsuit, argues that Harbour has violated both federal and Georgia law asks that a court order Harbour to pay damages, but does not request a specific figure. The suit also asks that the court declare the plaintiffs to be the owners of the properties where they have been living.

In "His Visit: Day Two", Freddy looks at John in the rear-view mirror, and says, "That mope in the back seat keeps changing fuckin' shapes." He refers to John as a "shape changer" in the next episode, too.
What does Freddy see when he looks at John?

- It's also interesting that in "His Visit: Day Three", Freddy says that he "has a lizard back home that changes shape." Bill tells him that it's called a chameleon, but chameleons change color, not shape. Maybe Freddy just sees things that other people miss. -- User:18.104.22.168 2 July 2007
- The guy takes some serious drugs. My guess is he was on some heavy LSD at that point... as he discussed his past Acid experiences. He is also in the car talking to himself and listening to Phantom. -- User:126.96.36.199 2 July 2007
- He was not listening to Phantom. He was listening to Sarah Brightman singing "Con te Partiro" solo. That song is not in Phantom. The more famous version of that song has her singing it as a duet with Andrea Bocelli -- the "blind dego" that Freddy refers to. (Brightman starred in the original stage production of Phantom of the Opera, but this fact is likely unknown to Freddy, which makes his comment ironic). -- User:18.104.22.168 14 July 2007
- Well, Freddy is a no bullshit kind of guy and he has probably seen a lot. Makes sense that, if John is some sort of being that can take whatever shape he likes, Freddy might be able to see through his facade. Now, here is something I thought of after watching "His Visit: Day Five", when Bill called John a "human parrot" -- maybe John and Zippy are kindred beings that have adopted the shape that is most acceptable to the people they want to influence. Bill has other parrots, so what better shape to take in order to push his buttons, and John is a goofy surfer, which has obvious benefits in influencing the crowd he is hanging with, with few exceptions, like Freddy, Palaka, and Vietnam Joe. -- eegorr 14:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think Freddy means that John changes his appearance as a personality, mimicking other peoples mind-set and emotions, and thus Freddy sees a different person in him each time he looks. Raziel Anarki 05:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- In fact, there may be nothing special about Shaun at all. Recall that when John was fatally wounded, all he needed was the touch of an ordinary human being (Vietnam Joe) to heal his wounds. Zippy may have used Shaun in the same way to ressurect himself. Later, it was Zippy who brought Shaun back to life. Does anyone think John could not do the same thing? -- eegorr 05:18, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Freddy said it again in "His Visit: Day Six". When Ramon is playing the bugle and John is mimicking him behind his back, Freddy looks in their direction and says something like "the shape-shifter." (I haven't seen Calamity Dan's transcription yet, so I'm not sure exactly what he said.) It was unclear to me whether Freddy actually saw John. Room45 21:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Check out the tattoo on Freddy's neck: Episode Two - Freddy & Butchie photo. It's very similar to the image that Meyer Dickstein draws in the wet cement and that John is always tracing with his foot. There's a lot more to Freddy than meets the eye. zanner58 14:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Freddy's tattoo is a salamander. So is Palaka's. That's why he tells Cissy it's a "tribute to my employer" and tells Freddy it's a "purple salamander, honoring a certain someone." I guess a salamander looks kind of like the monad symbol 0--< , but I don't think there's a connection there. Room45 18:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oops. Sure looked like the monad symbol. It is interesting that it is a salamander, though. If you check the Wikipedia entry forSalamander(Legendary) you get an interesting mix. Salamander as minor demon to mischief doers that are immune to fire. Later in history the salamander becomes a symbol of "enduring faith which triumphs over the fires of passion." That really seems to sum up Freddy. At least for now. zanner58 27 July 2007
- Palaka was getting a tattoo in about the same spot on his neck when he got an infection. I wonder what it was going to look like? — Greg (talk) 15:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Palaka may have called it a "salamander" but is more likely a gecko. In Hawaiian legend the gecko or mo'o is a protector of the house/family. Palaka was attempting to get a like tattoo on his neck. -- User:188.8.131.52 13 August 2007
- Freddy's tattoo (which Palaka was trying to pay homage to) was certainly a salamander. In episode 9, Freddy prays "Whoever I fuckin' ran away from in that volcano 25 years ago, I'm talking to you." Seems he had a trial by fire 25 years ago which landed him a connection to the salamander, a creature said to be able to walk through fire. Of course, the volcano as a metaphore could be quite important on its own... --188.8.131.52 11:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Neal receives another teaching honor
After being named Cowley College's Endowed Chair for Teaching Excellence during the school's Employee Meeting on Thursday, Natural Science Department instructor Melinda Neal added another honor to her collection as she was named the recipient of the Paul Stirnaman Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence.
The award is named for Paul Stirnaman, a long-time Social Science Department instructor and strong supporter of the College Education Association. He died June 16, 2000, following a lengthy illness.
"The Paul Stirnaman award exemplifies the professional standards that all instructors strive for and I am very honored to be this year's recipient," Neal said.
Neal previously received an Excellence Award from the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development in 2008 and was the recipient of the March, 2008 Horizon Award Faculty Advisor for the Phi Theta Kappa Kansas Region. She also received the March, 2009 Paragon Award for the Phi Theta Kappa Kansas Region, and was the recipient of the March, 2008 and 2010 Honorable Mention Paragon Advisor Award for the Phi Theta Kappa Kansas Region.
While serving as the PTK co-advisor, the club has received numerous awards and achieved Five Star status several times.
Slade Griffiths, Cowley College vice president of academic affairs, said Neal is very deserving of the Stirnaman award.
"She tirelessly works to help students and faculty. She is appreciated by all," Griffiths said.

Plant Dance
This lesson will help students develop a stronger sense of place and connection to the natural world by allowing them to take on the perspective of a plant while creating a movement piece.
Students will be able to:
The Lesson Plan:
This activity provides students with an opportunity to connect more intimately with an IslandWood plant or tree. To prepare them for the lesson, lead a discussion assessing how comfortable they are using their bodies for expression (have they ever performed in front of a group?).
Explain the role of this activity in the lesson or the week: "Now we are going to explore an IslandWood plant from an artistic perspective."
Learn about their plant (20 minutes)
- Give students time to learn about their plant. They can either choose it themselves, or it can be assigned from the instructor. If you have already done Each One Teach One, this can be a great chance to continue learning about and working with that plant.
- Have students sit with their plant in a Wild Zone or off the edge of a trail. In their journals, have them record what they notice about the plant using their 5 senses: how does it look, what does it smell like, what do they hear, how do they think it would taste, how does it feel? They can even divide their journal pages into 5 squares to record each sense in. Encourage them to use description words as they consider these questions:
- "What are the characteristics of this plant?"
- "How would you describe it to a friend?"
- "Think about how you describe people. Could you say that the hemlock tree looks sad, or the salmonberry bush looks excited?" (You can even introduce personification…)
- Encourage students to draw their plant and make some notes about where and how it is growing. What visual and other characteristics do they notice? Are the leaves pointy or smooth? Do the branches curve up on the ends? Does this plant seem happy or sad? Is it big or small in comparison to the other plants in the area? Remind them to consider color, texture, size, smell, durability and think about the different parts of the plant, too. Allow them to use colored pencils to add to their notes and sketches.
- If students have already done Each One Teach One with this plant, have them write down what they remember about the ethno botanical uses. If they have not done E1T1, provide them with the E1T1 card or a field guide, or simply tell them a few highlights. Have them tap into other resources from the week, too (did they hear any stories they can reference?).
Express their plant through movement (10 minutes)
- "Create a dance, stretch or short skit that represents your plant." Encourage students to consult their notes and sketches. How would a cedar tree move? How does salal grow? How can they represent the ethno botanical uses for evergreen huckleberries? How can they use their bodies to show the shape of the Douglas fir tree?
- Make sure to demonstrate an example for the group. Show them how to use their whole body and think creativity and abstractly (depending on the age, students' performances may be highly literal). Let the students know that they will be performing for each other.
- Students can either work on their own or with partners or small groups. Make sure to check in with each student or group to help them if they are struggling.
- When students are ready to share, create a performance space and remind everyone what it means to be respectful audience members. Decide if you want students to announce their plant before their performance, or if you want the audience to guess what they were representing.
- **Alternative: if you team seems shy about performing, or struggles focusing, they can each create a movement that can be strung together into a team, ecosystem/nature dance. This is also a great option if you don't have as much time, or if you want to encourage collaboration. Make sure to still give them time to develop their movement on their own before coming together to share.
Debrief (5-10 minutes)
- "What did you learn about your plant from making your performance?"
- "What did you learn about the other plants from watching your peers' performances?"
- *Prompt them by referencing performances and asking them why they think the big leaf maple reached it's hands/leaves out, or why the douglas fir moved so slowly.
- "How did you enjoy performing in front of people?"
- "Do you think this will help you remember your plant?"
- *Talk about how having action along with learning helps solidify knowledge
Possible Extensions
- Follow through with more art-nature lessons such as Species Account or Leaf in a Bag
Additional Resources:
- E1T1 Plants
- Species Account
- Prep room books: The Tree by Dana Lyons and The Shaman's Apprentice: A tale of the Amazon Rain Forest by Lynn Cherry and Mark J. Plotkin

Volunteers Clean River Debris, Educate Community
Coastal Rivers worked with local volunteers to clean waterways within the lower Pascagoula River. The effort included waterborne debris cleanup from team vessels, as well as targeted cleanup of appliance "white debris" common in the area. Using the information gained, the project worked with local groups to raise awareness with placards at local marinas and boat launches, and educate the public through presentations and website outreach.
A total of 4 sites were cleaned during 8 cleanup events, removing over 6700 lbs of debris through the efforts of 58 volunteers. This return cleanup included monitoring to assess reaccumulation. This information was used to develop educational display boards and hand-outs that were used in presentations and at local marinas.

View on the entrance gates of Novodevichy necropolis from Luzhnetsky proezd. The gate was constructed with new cemetery walls from red brick in 1950-1956 at the time when necropolis territory was expanded to the south and the "New Novodevichie cemetery" was formed in 1949. The cemetery is open from 09:00 until 17:00 every day, admission free.

The best way to make the potential buyers visualize the design and concept of the property you are marketing is to give them details that are neither too exaggerated nor too detailed. Just about enough to inspire the buyers who might have turned the other way. Say for an example, instead of writing a large bonfire cavity in the hall room, you can portray it as a common assembly area for some entertainment. Whether you are looking to define from the seller's point of view or what the buyer is looking for, here are a few points to help you balance the requirement.
Originally: Jumbo Walk-in Closet
The jumbo closets come along with extra space cabinets, rods, shelves and even seating space. As noticeable consumption is out of question here, potential buyers may perceive this place as a waste of space.
Market It As: Attached Laundry Room To Bedroom
In general cases, walk in closets are well illuminated with the daylight. This space can be used for numerous purposes, and the idea of attached laundry room is not at all a bad idea. After all bedroom is the place where all dirty attires originate, so why extra labor in keeping them on the roof or the basement. Closet shelving can be easily repurposed to make space for laundry supplies.
Originally: In-Built Kitchen Desk
In the past decade or so kitchen desk became popular with the notion of providing phone jacks and wall plugs for the convenience at hand. However, with the WiFi technology and greater use of smart phones these days, people don't really demand this feature anymore.
Market it As: Extra Storage Space in Kitchen With Collective Design Counter
Open up the cooking experience to the whole family, and use that desktop space to provide comfortable sitting or playing area for kids and adults. Cabinets can be portrayed as pantry storage space, while a few pull out racks can also be attached.
Originally: Finished Top Or Basement
Finished level can be a tricky word, which can leave the potential buyer thinking whether he has to spend more to get the thing furnished.
Market It As: Guest Quarters With Heating Ventilation And Air Conditioning System
Help the buyers imagine how a flexible guest quarter with HVAC system can work for guests who crave privacy, close relatives and elderly parents who face difficulty in climbing the stairs. But make sure the space in question is already on a separate zone ventilation system.
Originally: Oversized Formal Dining Room
Lifestyle these days have gone beyond the convention of dining in a big space on the main floor. In fact some buyers prefer to entertain themselves in the kitchen itself.
Market It As: Multipurpose Entertainment Space
A big dining space can be easily portrayed as a common entertainment space, where you can set some comfortable couches, a giant LED Screen or some flashy lights. This is ideal to attract home buyers who have regular friends or family events. This dining area can be easily used for large group gatherings.

Earthmoving equipment plays many different critical roles in various industries, with the primary being the construction sector.
This makes complete sense, seeing that without said heavy types of machinery such as excavators, haul trucks, loaders, articulating trucks, tractors, and bulldozers, there is no way to carry out earthwork operations.
It is for this reason that transport engineering has quickly become an in-demand field not just in Australia, but also in many other parts of the world.
With transport engineers' areas of specialisation ranging from the planning to designing to overseeing construction and maintenance of transport networks, one can easily see why they are critical to civil engineering applications.
The construction industry's reliance on the transport sector
Heavy equipment, such as truck trailers here in NZ, require specialised means of transportation, considering their massive size and weight. Safety should precede everything else, especially when moving machines as big as earthmovers to the construction site and back.
This is where some of the critical roles of transport engineers come into play. These experts, with their extensive training and in-depth knowledge of the heavy transport industry, focus on the manufacturing of equipment specifically designed to move heavy machinery.
These include tipper bodies, transport trailers and transporter decks among several others.
Transport engineers and their key roles in ensuring safety and productivity at all times
The goals of transport engineers include ensuring the safe and secure moving of machinery while also improving mobility and traffic flow. However, they also prioritise productivity, which means bettering the transport machinery specifications to reduce transport time without compromising safety.
Furthermore, these experts also incorporate technologies designed to cut harmful emissions, ensuring that all transport equipment meet and satisfy the rigorous Australian codes and regulations.
With all these said, you should already recognise the valuable contributions that only highly qualified and experienced transport engineers can give to your construction firm.

Address: Miss Brawne ∣ Wentworth Place ∣ Hampstead ∣ Middx.
Postmark not recorded.
Shanklin Thursday Evening
My love,
I have been in so irritable a state of health these two or three last days, that I did not think I should be able to write this week. Not that I was so ill, but so much so as only to be capable of an unhealthy teasing letter. To night I am greatly recovered only to feel the languor I have felt after you touched with ardency. You say you perhaps might have made me better: you would then have made me worse: now you could quite effect a cure: What fee my sweet Physician would I not give you to do so. Do not call it folly, when I tell you I took your letter last night to bed with me. In the morning I found your name on the sealing wax obliterated. I was startled at the bad omen till I recollected that it must have happened in my dreams, and they you know fall out by contraries. You must have found out by this time I am a little given to bode ill like the raven; it is my misfortune not my fault; it has proceeded from the general tenor of the circumstances of my life, and rendered every event suspicious. However I will no more trouble either you or myself with sad Prophecies; though so far I am pleased at it as it has given me opportunity to love your disinterestedness towards me. I can be a raven no more; you and pleasure take possession of me at the same moment. I am afraid you have been unwell. If through me illness have touched you (but it must be with a very gentle hand) I must be selfish enough to feel a little glad at it. Will you forgive me this? I have been reading lately an oriental tale of a very beautiful color1--It is of a city of melancholy men,
138. This letter appears to belong between those of the 8th and 25th of July 1819; and of the two Thursdays between those dates it seems likelier that the 15th would be the one than that the letter should have been written so near the 25th as on the 22nd. The original having been mislaid, I have not been able to take the evidence of the postmark. It will be noticed that at the close he speaks of a weekly exchange of letters with Miss Brawne; and by placing this letter at the 15th this programme is pretty nearly realized so far as Keats's letters from the Isle of Wight are concerned.--H.B.F.

Push to revive shareholder class action against Gunns
A legal firm is trying to revive a class action against the collapsed Tasmanian timber company Gunns, after its former chairman admitted to insider trading.
The Tasmanian community is still coming to terms with John Gay's surprise guilty plea in court on Monday.
Gay admitted selling 3.4 million shares while in possession of unreleased information he ought to have known would affect the share price.
Legal firm Maurice Blackburn is trying to revive a class action by shareholders who claim Gunns breached its disclosure obligations in 2010.
But shareholder activist Stephen Mayne is sceptical about whether it will go ahead.
"In the case of Gunns, there's no one left to sue because they've gone broke," he said.
There has been no movement on the class action since Gunns entered administration last year, owing $750 million.
Gay will be sentenced next week.
Pulp mill support
The Tasmanian Premier, Lara Giddings, has thrown her support behind any push to revitalise Gunns' controversial Tamar Valley pulp mill project.
Gunns' administrators says the project's future will depend on the volume of resource which is available.
They are looking for an entity to take over the management of 18 plantation investment schemes which could feed a pulp mill.
Ms Giddings says if there is a chance the $2 billion project can go ahead, the Government will support it.
"If there is an investor who would like to able to invest in it, the Government's door is open to help that investor through all the processes they may need to ensure the project gets up," she said.

This is the final outfit of my 30x30 challenge, and wow, it's a pretty boring one. Jeans and t-shirt, hey, at least it's a classic! I was pretty relieved to have finally completed this crazy challenge and get use of the rest of my closet. Oh and shop!
I'll be honest by saying, it's kind of lame, that the thing I'm most looking forward to is expanding my work wardrobe. That was a challenge in itself, seeing that I didn't quite plan my work wardrobe to be outfits. I just picked a couple of black items and figured that would do. I already know of a few items I need to even that out, and actually create looks and outfits that are cohesive and not just black bottoms and tops. The big sale I went to was a great starting off point (I'll share with you those finds soon!).
Look forward to my recap next week!
Here's Ashly's final 30x30 outfit!

JHDL clocking has been rewritten to allow the use of multiple clocks, to simulate negative and positive edge triggered flip-flops, and to allow clocks to be gated.
There are three basic elements to clocking.
If you choose to specify your own clock(s), you should ensure that you use those clocks everywhere in your design. DO NOT MIX DEFAULT CLOCKING AND USER-DEFINED CLOCKING IN THE SAME DESIGN.
If your design contains only a single clock, there is likely no reason to try to define your own clock. User-defined clocks are usually only appropriate if your design must have multiple clocks. That said, the first example below will contain only a single user-defined clock to illustrate how to set a clock up.
import byucc.jhdl.base.*; import byucc.jhdl.Logic.*; import byucc.jhdl.Xilinx.Virtex.*; public class tb_cnt extends Logic implements TestBench { static VirtexTechMapper tm; static Cell c; static HWSystem hw; public static void main(String argv[]) { hw = new HWSystem(); tb_cnt tb = new tb_cnt(hw); tm.setInsertPads(false); tm.setInsertTopLevelPorts(true); tm.netlist(c, "c.edn"); new cvt( tb ); } private Wire clr, q; public tb_cnt(Node parent) { super(parent); tm = new VirtexTechMapper(true); setDefaultTechMapper(tm); clr = wire(1, "clr"); q = wire(4, "q"); Wire clk = wire(1,"clk"); // Declare clock wire clockDriver(clk,"10"); // Instance new clock driver setDefaultClock(clk); // Make all subsequent circuits use it c = new cnt(this, clr, q); } }
There are three lines of interest in this example and they are commented. The first line simply creates a new one-bit wire to serve as the clock wire. The second line instances a new clock driver to serve as the source for the clock. In it, the schedule of "10" is specified. Finally, that clock is specified to be the default clock for all subsequent circuitry that is built. After that, the circuit is built. Each time during the build a synchronous element is encountered, its clock input is wired to to this default clock.
There are a few limitations on what can serve as a clock wire - any one-bit wire can serve as a clock wire. The clock schedule specified is a string that is at least length 2, consisting of 0's and 1's.
import byucc.jhdl.base.*; import byucc.jhdl.Logic.*; import byucc.jhdl.Xilinx.Virtex.*; public class tb_cnt extends Logic implements TestBench { static VirtexTechMapper tm; static Cell c1, c2; static HWSystem hw; public static void main(String argv[]) { hw = new HWSystem(); tb_cnt tb = new tb_cnt(hw); tm.setInsertPads(false); tm.setInsertTopLevelPorts(true); tm.netlist(c, "c.edn"); new cvt( tb ); } private Wire clr1, q1, clr2, q2; public tb_cnt(Node parent) { super(parent); tm = new VirtexTechMapper(true); setDefaultTechMapper(tm); clr1 = wire(1, "clr1"); q1 = wire(4, "q1"); clr2 = wire(1, "clr2"); q2 = wire(4, "q2"); Wire clk1 = wire(1,"clk1"); // Declare clock wire clockDriver(clk1,"0100"); // Instance new clock driver setDefaultClock(clk1); // Make all subsequent circuits use it Wire clk2 = wire(1,"clk2"); // Declare another clock wire clockDriver(clk2,"0010"); // Instance new clock driver for it c1 = new cnt(this, clr1, q1); setDefaultClock(clk2); // Make second counter use second clock c2 = new cnt(this, clr2, q2); } }
Each of the two counters instanced use a different clock. It can easily be seen in the waves view of cvt that there are two different clocks and that the outputs of the counters are changing at different times.
The above example also points out an important idea: the setting of a default clock can be done anywhere. That is, a third counter clocked by clk1 could be instanced after the second counter by simply doing this:
setDefaultClock(clk1); c3 = new cnt(this, clr3, q3);
When you define multiple clocks in a circuit, their schedules must be the same length. Thus, this is illegal:
clockDriver(clk1,"01"); clockDriver(clk2,"0011");
To get one clock to toggle twice as fast as another, you would do this:
clockDriver(clk1,"0101"); clockDriver(clk2,"0011");
Finally, note that in these two examples above, there is still some implicit clock handling. That is, clock wires are created and declared to be the default clock but those same clock wires are not passed into the circuit hierarchy in any way. The setDefaultClock() call takes care of ensuring that all synchronous elements get appropriately wired to whatever was the default clock as of the time they were created.
import byucc.jhdl.base.*; import byucc.jhdl.Logic.*; public class twoclocks extends Logic { public static CellInterface[] cell_interface = { in("clk1", 1), in("clk2", 1), ... }; public twoclocks(Node parent, Wire clk1, Wire clk2, ...) { super(parent); connect("clk1", clk1); connect("clk2", clk2); ... setDefaultClock(clk1); ... // Instance some synchronous circuitry here setDefaultClock(clk2); ... // Instance some more synchronous circuitry here setDefaultClock(clk1); ... // Instance yet some more synchronous circuitry here } }
However, this may still not be enough control. There may be cases where the individual bits of a register need different clocks. All calls in Logic which generate synchronous circuitry have versions where the clock may be specified explicitly. Similarly, all the library primitives which are synchronous have versions of their constructors with the clock wire explicitly specified. These versions of the calls can be used to control which clock goes to which circuit element. This is called fully explicit clocking.
It is perfectly acceptable to mix the use of setDefaultClock() with fully explicit clocking. However, it is not recommended in that it may result in hard to track down bugs since the use of setDefaultClock() hides what is going on at times.
Here is simple design which uses fully explicit clocking:
import byucc.jhdl.base.*; import byucc.jhdl.Logic.*; public class twoclocksExplicit extends Logic { public static CellInterface[] cell_interface = { in("clk1", 1), in("clk2", 1), in("a", 8), in("b", 8), out("q", 8), out("s", 8) }; public twoclocksExplicit(Node parent, Wire clk1, Wire clk2, Wire a, Wire b, Wire q, Wire s) { super(parent); connect("clk1", clk1); connect("clk2", clk2); connect("a", a); connect("b", b); connect("q", q); connect("s", s); reg_o(clk1, a, q); // This register uses clk1 reg_o(clk1, b.range(3,0), s.range(3,0)); // Half of this register uses clk1 reg_o(clk2, b.range(7,4), s.range(7.4)); // The other half uses clk2 } }
It is important to note that there is no setDefaultClock() call above. It is not necessary since all synchronous element instanced have an explicitly specified clock. Also note that in this example, the test bench which instances this circuit is responsible to create the clock wires and drivers.
When using gated clocking, just treat the clock as any other wire. A typical use might be to AND the clock wire with a clock enable signal and then use the output of the AND as the explicit clock to a register.
Gated clock designs do not allow the simulator to
schedule clocked events as it would in a non-gated circuit.
Gated clock designs require the simulator to watch to see if
a suitable transition has occured and evaluate the affected
circuitry appropriately. This can be very costly as the
number of differently gated flops is increased. Keep this
in mind when designing gated clock circuits. Most FPGA's
contain clock enable inputs on their synchronous
elements. It will always be preferable to use those, if
available, rather than gate the clock.
