For more information, please visit our Ferries from Tunisia to Rome page.
The Tunis Civitavecchia ferry route connects Tunisia with Rome and is currently operated by 2 ferry companies. The Grandi Navi Veloci service runs up to 1 times per week with a sailing duration of around 32 hours 45 minutes while the Grimaldi Lines service runs up to 1 times per week with a duration from 19 hr 30 min.
So that’s a combined 2 sailings on offer per week on the Tunis Civitavecchia route between Tunisia and Rome. Compare now and get the best fare at the time that you want to travel.
Prices shown represent the average one way price paid by our customers. The most common booking on the Tunis Civitavecchia route is a car and 1 passenger.
At that price, you cannot complain. However, there are not enough toilets per floor and those toilets are not cleaned often enough. Some passengers really lack of manners, lay down on 4 seats instead of one, eat or smoke everywhere. Nothing is done about that. The crew only speaks Italian. Moreover it was 2 hours late for the outbound journey (ok) and 8h for the inbound journey. The meal was not good and very difficult to digest. I would recommend this ferry to a friend, if they are prepared to accept some inconvenients.
Sadly the usual lateness was even worse this time, even though lots was made up for during the crossing. The crossing started 5 hours late and we ended up arriving 2 hours late. Cabins are ok, cleansiness not very good.
Tunis is the largest city in Tunisia and its capital and is located on a large Mediterranean Sea gulf, the Gulf of Tunis, behind the Lake of Tunis and the port of La Goulette. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Carthage, perhaps one of the most important archaeological sites ever found, is located around 12 km from Tunis. Many artefacts and the site of the ancient city have been unearthed including early Punic artefacts and Roman, Byzantine and Vandal buildings. The city has an eclectic mix of architectural styles, wide streets and narrow alleyways that are sometimes criss-crossed by tramways.
Although the old stone walls of the 9th century Medina no longer exist but the narrow streets, mosques, souks and historic structures remain and have also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are a number of festivals held in the city each year the largest being the Carthage International Festival which takes place during July and August. The festival, which was established in 1964, attracts visitors from around the world and much of it is held in the old amphitheatre of Carthage and hosts performances by singers, musicians, actors, dancers and shows films on outdoor screens.
The Italian city of Civitavecchia lies on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast in the Lazio region of the country. The city, which is home to just under 60,000 residents, is home to a cruise and ferry port and is located around 80 km to the north west of Rome. The city can trace its port's history back over one thousand years to 101-108 AD, when the Emperor Trajan ordered the port of Centumcellae to be built in order to accommodate deepwater shipping for the Roman capital. After this period, they fell under the rule of a number of different Counts and Popes.
In the city visitors will find examples of restored medieval and Baroque structures which includes the large Forte Michelangelo which is a fortress that was commissioned by pope Giulio II in the early 16th century and the 17th century defensive walls behind the port. The wall forms one side of the Lungoporto Gramsci which is an elevated pedestrian walkway. From here there are excellent views to be had of the cruise ships and ferry basins in the port.
Car and passenger ferries link Civitavecchia to Sardinia, Sicily, and other destinations within Italy and abroad. | 2019-04-22T13:03:06 | https://www.directferries.co.uk/tunis_civitavecchia_ferry.htm |
"Yes but in another 15-20 years time, a well made Swiss watch that has been looked after will still hold its value and may have even increased its worth, unlike a $1000 iPhone which probably won't even switch on in 20 years."
I agree entirely, I have an ancient Tag, purchased about 1995. Despite the fact its been well worn, I could probably sell it for almost what I paid for it.

Granite Geek: When is a drought not a drought?
Right now in Concord, we are living in a meteorological puzzle: The National Weather Service says this is the wettest August since records began being kept 150 years ago, yet the National Weather Service also says the region is “abnormally dry,” the first stage of its drought-measurement scale.
No, climate change hasn’t driven weather folks crazy. The solution to the puzzle is that there are droughts and then there are droughts.
“There is a time lapse in how different systems respond to current conditions,” is how Richard Kiah, chief of Hydrologic Network Operations for the regional office of the U.S. Geological Survey, puts it.
In laymen’s terms: When wet weather appears, as it did in July, after a long stretch of very dry weather like we had this spring, the grass starts growing pretty quickly but it takes longer to fill up the aquifers that our wells depend on. A drought above ground might end, might even give way to flooding, while drought lingers below ground.
That’s roughly what we’re seeing now, although thankfully the drought and flooding have been minor compared to other parts of the country.
As of Saturday, the official rainfall total in Concord for the month of August is 9.36 inches, breaking the all-time August record of 9 inches, set in 1892. Even so, Concord and the swath of central New Hampshire from Sullivan County to Carroll County are officially “abnormally dry,” the first of five categories on the federal drought-measurement scale.
This discrepancy is a function of the “time lapse” that Kiah mentioned above. As an illustration, he pointed to the town of Warner.
USGS maintains a series of measuring devices around the state that keep track of groundwater levels, meaning how much water is available for wells, and other devices that measure how much is flowing on the surface in rivers. Warner has a stream gauge measuring flow on the Warner River, and also a groundwater well nearby.
At the end of March, which is roughly when the dry spell began, the stream gauge in Warner was measuring water flow above the 95th percentile point for that time of year, meaning more water was flowing in the river than almost late March in history. The groundwater level was almost that high as well: It was in the 90th percentile.
By mid-July, after two months of bone-dry weather, the surface stream gauge had plunged almost to the 10th percentile, meaning that nearly nine out of 10 past Julys had seen more water in the river, definitely a drought signal. Yet at the same time, groundwater gauge was still in the “normal” range, just slightly under the long-term average.
Both gauges are now trending upwards, and I would guess that in the next few weeks central New Hampshire will be out of the drought category entirely, as they are already in southern New Hampshire. It’s not straightforward, though.
The designation of drought requires more than just measuring recent rainfall or water flows. Other factors intrude, notably evapotranspiration, which is the measure of how much of the moisture falling from the ground and existing in the air as humidity is used by plants.
“At this time of year, some of the rainfall is not going to be recharging the groundwater, it’s going to be taken up by the plants and trees,” Kiah said. So even if a wet period is good for plants, fixing the agricultural drought, it may not be all that good for long-term water supplies.
All this makes determining whether we’re in a drought something of an art as well as a science, balancing the needs of plants and people today with the needs of plants and people in the coming weeks and months.
“New Hampshire’s drought management plan takes into account these things,” Kiah said.
The terminology goes from meteorological drought, due to a lack of rain, to agricultural drought, when the soil dries out, to hydrological drought, affecting groundwater and stream flows. Perhaps what should happen is that we give up on the idea of announcing whether we’re in a drought and instead announce whether we’re in any of three possible types of drought.
But probably not. That would confuse people more than enlighten them.
After all, designating a drought is as much a social and political marker as a scientific marker. It gives governments authority to impose watering bans and it motivates people to save water. Even if it isn’t always logically consistent, it’s still useful. | 2019-04-22T16:57:40 | https://www.concordmonitor.com/drought-types-agriculture-groundwater-19545067 |

US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has denied a report that he discussed invoking a constitutional clause to oust President Donald Trump.
America’s second most senior law official said the allegation was “inaccurate and factually incorrect”.
The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, also said Mr Rosenstein had suggested secretly recording Mr Trump to expose chaos in the White House.
But a source told the BBC that the comment was sarcastic.
Mr Rosenstein is reported to have made the remarks after Mr Trump fired the FBI director last year.
James Comey had been overseeing his law enforcement agency’s investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mr Trump referred to the “Russia thing” when asked why he was removed.
Mr Trump told a rally in Missouri on Friday evening that there was a “lingering stench” about what was being exposed at the US Justice Department.
He said he would get rid of it just as his administration “had gotten rid of bad people at the FBI”.
The 25th Amendment: Could it be used to unseat Trump?
The New York Times reported that Mr Rosenstein had discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment of the US constitution, which provides for the removal of a president if he is deemed unfit for office.
It also says he suggested secretly recording Mr Trump to expose White House turmoil and dysfunction.
The suggestions came during meetings and conversations in May 2017 with Department of Justice and FBI officials, the paper said.
It cited several unnamed sources who were briefed on the events.
According to US media, the source of the allegations are memos created by former FBI acting director Andrew McCabe, who was fired by Mr Trump in March this year.
Mr McCabe’s lawyer, Michael Bromwich, said his client “has no knowledge of how any member of the media obtained those memos”.
Mr Bromwich said the memos had been submitted to the special counsel who is investigating possible Russian meddling in the 2016 election and obstruction of justice, and that another copy had remained with the FBI.
How did Mr Rosenstein respond?
The deputy attorney general issued a statement saying: “The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect.
“I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda.
A justice department press officer told the BBC that Mr Rosenstein’s comment about secretly recording the president was a joke.
The statement was attributed to “a source who was in the room” and was said to remember the exchange in question.
“The statement was sarcastic and was never discussed with any intention of recording a conversation with the president,” the unnamed source said.
The spokesperson did not immediately reply to an emailed question asking if the 25th amendment was discussed during that meeting.
In other US media, there was scepticism that the US deputy attorney general would earnestly propose ousting the president.
Activating the relevant section of the 25th amendment would require a majority of Mr Trump’s cabinet, the vice-president and majorities in Congress, which is currently controlled by the president’s party.
The Washington Post also reported that Mr Rosenstein’s remark about surreptitious recordings was not serious.
The newspaper said the deputy attorney general had been responding to Andrew McCabe’s suggestion that the justice department investigate the president.
The newspaper also said that someone who was present at the meeting denied the 25th amendment had ever come up.
Donald Trump has spent a lot of time disparaging “fake news” reports from the “failing” New York Times largely based on anonymous sources. It will be interesting to see how he responds to an article that seemingly confirms his suspicions that members of his own administration are out to get him.
Or maybe they’re not. It all depends on whether you believe sources who talked to people who were in the room when Rod Rosenstein reportedly entertained notions of secretly taping the president or organising a constitutional manoeuvre to remove Mr Trump from office.
On some level, it doesn’t matter if the reports are true. They alter events and perceptions either way. Mr Rosenstein has been on thin ice with the president for so long his feet probably have frostbite. The New York Times story could be the ominous crack that presages a plunge into the cold abyss.
Given Mr Rosenstein’s position overseeing Robert Mueller and the Russia probe, any move against him by the president would be fraught with political peril. The president has vowed that he won’t make a decision about Jeff Sessions until after the mid-term elections in November. Would that reluctance extend to the attorney general’s second in command?
9 May 2017 – Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein submits a memo to the attorney general regarding FBI boss James Comey’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified documents. President Trump fires Mr Comey, and Andrew McCabe becomes acting director of the FBI.
11 May 2017 – Mr Rosenstein denies that he threatened to quit after being described as a key influence in Mr Comey’s firing. The New York Times says Mr McCabe’s memos from around this time note that Mr Rosenstein was upset and wished Mr Comey was still at the FBI.
16 May 2017 – Mr Rosenstein met Mr McCabe and other senior officials to explain his role in Mr Comey’s firing. He reportedly said he was frustrated with Mr Trump, suggested wearing a “wire” to secretly record the president during White House visits, and discussed invoking the 25th amendment to oust Mr Trump for being “unfit” for office, the New York Times reported on Friday.
17 May 2017 – Mr Rosenstein appoints Robert Mueller as special counsel, tasked with overseeing the Russia investigation.
17 March 2018 – Mr McCabe is fired by Mr Trump a day before his planned 18 March retirement. He had stepped down from his FBI role amid relentless criticism from Mr Trump.
30 May 2018 – US media report that Mr McCabe handed over a confidential memo on Mr Comey’s firing – which reportedly details his conversation with Mr Rosenstein – to the special counsel.
26 July 2018 – After the Justice Department rejects a request to release Mr McCabe’s memos, conservatives in the House of Representatives file articles of impeachment in an effort to oust Mr Rosenstein, accusing him of stonewalling their requests for information, which he denies. | 2019-04-22T18:23:57 | http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=104390 |
Place one of more Critter Escape Ramps around your pool deck to offer small animals a quick escape route. Small creatures usually swim toward the edge of the pool if they fall into the water. They will circle around the edge of the pool looking for a way out. Once the bump into the Critter Escape Ramp they will climb out on their own.
The Escape Ramp can minimize bacteria from animal waste because they will be safe and sound on your pool deck instead of being trapped in your pool skimmer. Fill the weighted pillow with once scoop of sand, pea gravel or dirt and lay it on your pool deck to keep the Floating Ramp Pillow in place. Use multiple ramps for larger pools, can even be used in ponds, hot tubs or fountains. | 2019-04-22T21:07:20 | http://www.backyardcitypools.com/Accessories/Pool-Critter-Escape-Ramp.htm |

As we live our lives, circumstances and decisions we take effectively further narrow our choices. While I may have the innate potential to be a world class violinist, at 43 and having never touched a violin, with a need for a steady income, devoting the energy and time to becoming a power in the world of violins is a non-starter. My wife has become accustomed to eating every day, so such a career change is simply not feasible.
So it is as we look at our republic. The realities that obtain will determine what happens in our politics. We ignore reality at our peril. We hope for the Republican Establishment to embrace Ron Paul politics in futility. We hope the average American will embrace self-sufficiency and personal responsibility in vain.
While there remain several potential outcomes for us as a nation as we live through this particular Sunday, the likely avenues we will travel have been reduced to just a few by the realities of the world around us.
The 800 pound gorilla in our midst, the seeming unavoidable reality, is the pending collapse of our economy. Smarter people than I, people who are professionals in the world of finance and economics, are telling us that we have passed the point of no return and that collapse is imminent. When I apply my common sense and general understanding of how things work to the layman translations offered by folks like Denninger, I am must conclude that they are on target.
So, Reality One that I use as a premise for decisions I take is that an economic Armageddon is imminent. The date of said calamity is tough to nail down, for obvious reasons. Most of the BIG companies in our lives should have died in 2007/2008 as economic Darwinism reached out a boney hand. But the system was corrupted by meddling Government, delaying the inevitable.
The economic criminals among us are very good at what they do, so do not under-estimate their ability to string things along for a while. Running the printers is pumping money to big players, who are artificially keeping the stock markets inflated. It is, likely, the final bubble these folks will be able to create, as they have already destroyed every other significant sector of the economy. When this one blows, we do not have any working sector remaining on which to break our fall.
But running the printing presses is a delaying tactic. They are also trying to legislate, to paper-over, the obvious criminality of the housing and mortgage frauds, buying more time. They have games they can play, right up to the moment it all heaves the final breath and final collapse is upon us. They will try to delay the inevitable and to put as many assets in their column as possible before the system breaks.
Should a collapse be welcomed by Patriots?
Of course we all understand what a collapse means. Riots, hunger, famine, disease, and a heavy-handed assertion of power by Government. A collapse will fundamentally redefine our standard of living for at least a generation.
But if the goal of Patriots is a fundamental shift of the course our republic is travelling, and a return to our founding principles, would not a collapse with all of the horrors entailed, become an ally of the Patriot?
Who would most suffer from a collapse? Would it not be those who are least able and inclined to take care of themselves and pull their own weight in society? Is it not this very group of people who are today responsible for ruining the republic?
Good riddance. Sorry you must die an ugly death, but you are killing the rest of us slowly with your pathetic, parasitic existence.
Patriots, it would seem due to the realities on the ground, have only three feasible options for achieving the goal of returning the republic to Constitutional fundamentals.
Politics: Voting Patriots into the US House would certainly change course, without resorting to Second Amendment remedies. Do we have the time, considering the impending economic crises? If Patriots took the House in 2012 and immediately de-funded extra-Constitutional spending, we could theoretically avert collapse. Do Patriots have the will to even try? A political solution would require many stars to align, quickly, to even have a shot.
Second Amendment: This is a non-starter on so many levels, not the least of which is that Patriots have no interest in marching out in today's climate to engage. Patriots are greatly outnumbered. Forget how many firearms may be in the public, the more important assessment is how many people will take up arms and use them to advance the goals of the Patriot, and how many would take arms to advance the goals of Government (translated to: handouts and freebies). Public opinion is with the Squatters and Plunderers. For every block in suburban America on which a Patriot lives, there are several neighbors who would drop a dime on him to preserve their status quo.
There will be no Patriot uprising to any injury or insult inflicted by Government. No matter what hyperbole you hear or read, the next Waco, Ruby Ridge or Olofson will be met with the same response from Patriots as was TSA running knuckle-deep into wives, moms and children...at most Patriots will choose to avoid circumstances that would put them in conflict with Government. At most, Patriots will stop flying, we will not gear up and make a point at the airport.
Whether you consider that to be cowardice or pragmatism does not matter. It is demonstrated reality.
Collapse: If we accept the premise that a societal collapse is imminent, consider the prudence of simply using every day before the ruckus to lay-in supplies and prepare. When it happens, consider keeping your head down, and let the ugly realities of such a collapse run their course. Consider staying out of the way as people die in riots, of hunger and disease, while you remain strong and nourished in your basement.
In such circumstances, is it not likely that a moment will come when it is realistic for Patriots to emerge and impose Founding Principles with those who are left? It would begin small, in your AO, as defined by the range of your car equal to one-half tank of gas. Before long, these tiny circles as drawn on a map would begin to bump up against one another, forming larger bubbles and secure zones.
Patriots would be left with, essentially, a mopping up operation to be rid of the remaining assets of Tyranny and the few idiots who seek to become Warlords in the chaos.
It would appear that most Patriots are moving forward with hopes that politics may provide a solution, while preparing for collapse. There has been considerable positive response to my recent posts about engaging in 2012 politics, and most people are willing to engage, though hesitant to put too much faith in the outcome.
I think this is the most prudent path forward, given the circumstances facing us today.
Patriots do not seem to have much appetite for my suggestion of armed rallies (in Ruckus) akin to RTC events in the opening moments of it. The two most common concerns are very valid. Most are convinced they'd end up alone, as they have no confidence other Patriots would show up. Others are convinced that such rallies would fly into the teeth of Government strength, compounded by servants of Government who would respond with Ego rather than intellect. I can't argue with either point.
So, we prep as we work on politics.
If the political avenue works, outstanding!
If the collapse becomes reality, so be it!
Either way, Patriots will not simply submit to tyranny. How we get to Liberty is the only variable.
It may be that Collapse becomes the best friend of the Patriot and Liberty. Disease and famine will clear the field of enemies of Liberty. Those left standing will once again appreciate the values common among our Founding generation: self-sufficiency, personal responsibility, common sense...and genuine Freedom.
At the moment, Collapse looks like a win-win for Patriots.
Should the III engage in Politics? | 2019-04-25T12:18:31 | http://www.kerodin.com/collapse.htm |

The SQ7's V-8 diesel is VW Group's biggest automotive diesel engine.
INGOLSTADT, Germany -- Audi is giving electric superchargers their first production application with the SQ7 as it leads the race to increase diesel-engine power.
The SQ7, a sporty variant of the Q7 large SUV, will debut a V-8 4.0-liter diesel engine that adds an electric supercharger to two traditional turbos.
"The SQ7 is a strong confirmation of Audi's technology leadership and of our belief in diesels," CEO Rupert Stadler said on the sidelines of the automaker's financial results presentation on March 3.
Stadler said the SQ7 will be the world's most powerful automotive diesel engine, but will also offer reasonable fuel consumption figures.
With 435 hp of power and 900 Nm (663.8 lb ft) of torque between 1,000 and 3,250 rpm, the SQ7 diesel has a sportscar acceleration, sprinting from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds and on upwards to a 250 kph (155 mph) electronically limited top speed.
In the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), the SQ7 uses 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers (31.8 U.S. mpg/38.1 UK mpg) which equates to carbon dioxide emissions of 194 grams per kilometer (312.2 g/mile).
The SQ7's V-8 diesel becomes VW Group's biggest automotive diesel engine after the company stopped production of its V-10 and V-12 units.
The engine easily outperforms its German rival's engines, which are 3.0-liter 6-cylinder units. BMW's 6-cylinder-in-line delivers 381 hp, while Mercedes-Benz's top diesel is a V-6 delivering 258 hp.
The SQ7's supercharging system consists of three elements: two exhaust-gas powered traditional turbos, one small and one large, and an electric supercharger.
The main benefit of electric supercharging is almost zero turbo lag. Traditional turbos, activated by exhaust gases, need the engine to reach a certain rotation per minute level to begin increasing airflow pressure in the combustion chamber and thus to boost output. This delay in boost is called turbo lag.
In the SQ7 engine, the electric supercharger takes about a quarter of second to activate and quickly spins the small turbo to its effective 70,000 rpm level. The intervention of the electric supercharger lasts for 2 to 3 seconds, and then exhaust gases reach the necessary pressure to give the traditional turbo its required energy.
Over 2,500 rpm, the small traditional turbo is bypassed as the second, larger turbo comes in to play to boost output up to 435 hp.
The electric supercharger needs 48 volts to operate, which is provided by a subsystem added on to the traditional 12 Volt electric architecture of the vehicle.
The 48 Volt subsystem also has the advantage of making the active stabilizing bar control system react faster than those controlled by a traditional 12 Volt system, Audi said.
The SQ7 will go on sale in spring priced at 89,900 euros in Germany. | 2019-04-19T09:46:14 | https://europe.autonews.com/article/20160305/ANE/160309914/audi-s-435-hp-sq7-gets-electric-supercharger-to-top-diesel-power-race |

Activist shareholders in Australia’s largest independent coalminer are expected to vote in record numbers on Thursday to demand Whitehaven Coal aligns its long-term company strategy with the Paris climate agreement.
Guardian Australia understands the group Market Forces has secured support from some superannuation funds and large overseas investors in Whitehaven for three resolutions that will be put to the company’s annual general meeting in Sydney.
Will van der Pol, a legal researcher and campaigner at Market Forces, said investors had been “receptive” in recent discussions.
One non-binding advisory resolution calls on the company to disclose climate change-related risks to shareholders, in line with recommendations of the Financial Stability Board’s taskforce on climate-related financial disclosures.
Another proposal says that shareholders call on the board to make strategy and capital expenditure decisions “consistent with the climate goals of the Paris agreement” in order to safeguard the longer-term success of the company and respond to risks and opportunities posed by climate change.
“We move this resolution in order to ensure our company is protected from stranded asset risks, and poised to take advantage of regulatory and market changes as international action is taken to satisfy the goals established by the Paris climate change agreement,” a supporting statement says.
“Given the higher stranding risk of coal assets over oil and gas, coal producers should be acting more urgently than other fossil fuel producers.
Any substantial level of support would be significant, considering Whitehaven is a pure-play coalminer.
The company released a statement to the ASX on 5 October that indicated it would consider climate risk reporting in 2019, a move interpreted as a concession to activist shareholders. It followed an Australian Securities and Investments Commission report last month critical of the level of climate risk disclosures by companies.
“Whitehaven is committed to playing a role in reducing carbon emissions ... by promoting increased use of Whitehaven’s high-quality, low-emissions coal,” the company said in its statement to the ASX.
Whitehaven’s future planning is based on the “New Policies Scenario” of the International Energy Agency, under which coal demand to Asia would double by 2040. Under that scenario, global warming would increase to about 2.7 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
Under a Paris baseline scenario modelled by the IEA, international demand for thermal coal would halve by 2040.
Van de Pol said the resolutions at Thursday’s Whitehaven AGM were “an opportunity for investors to make their mark and say this is exactly what we expect companies to be doing”.
“These sorts of resolutions are about the long-term sustainability of these companies,” he said.
Climate activists have increasingly switched from the coalface to the boardroom in recent years, where campaigns for large investors to divest from fossil fuels have gathered pace.
At last week’s AGM for the Queensland-based freight rail company Aurizon, investor proxies asked repeated questions about the company’s role in hauling coal and its potential to support operations in the Galilee Basin.
The Aurizon chairman, Tim Poole, told the meeting the company’s coal freight rail network had a higher risk profile than other utilities and that the company was concerned about “stranded asset risk”.
“At some point in the next 50 years, renewable energy might be such that we might not be hauling as much thermal coal as we are today ... part of our system might not be required,” Poole said. | 2019-04-21T23:06:10 | https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/oct/25/whitehaven-coal-activist-shareholders-to-force-vote-on-climate-strategy |

LEGAL CUSTODY: KEEPING IT AND LOSING IT | | Schwartz Law Firm, LLC.
Much of legal custody writing discusses issues and concerns surrounding Physical Custody. This flavor of custody, Physical, concerns the number of overnights a child spends with each parent. If a child spends more overnights in a month with one parent, that parent has Primary Physical Custody and the other parent has Partial Physical Custody. If custodial time is equal, the parents Share Physical Custody.
Psychological Issues: There are cases where one parent does not have the mental ability to participate in making these decisions. This type of situation would only occur if a parent has provable psychological/psychiatric issues or a condition which prevents that parent from participating in this decision-making.
Failure to cooperate and participate: There are cases, and they are not the norm, where a parent, during a time when a Custody Order indicates that Legal Custody was Shared, completely fails to communicate with the other parent about major decisions and further, advised third parties not to cooperate with the other parent.
Most often we see that type of conduct with schools/day care or with a child’s physician. We concluded a Custody trial in early 2018 where the Father not only refused to communicate and involve Mother in major decisions, he told the child care provider and the medical providers not to speak with or provide information about the child to Mother. Since Father was the Primary Physical Custodian, the day care provider and physician were under the mistaken impression that Father had the power to make those restrictions.
The day care provider testified in the Custody trial that Father had made those statements. The end result is that Father lost both Primary Physical Custody and Shared Legal Custody of his daughter.
Voluntary Relinquishing this Right: Also, in the odd case, a parent just will not wish to be involved in making these decisions and they will permit the other parent or custodian to make all decisions. In those cases, the remaining parent will have Sole Legal Custody. Having Legal Custody is a privilege to be protected, but it is not guaranteed. | 2019-04-24T05:11:01 | https://leeaschwartz.com/legal-custody-keeping-it-and-losing-it/ |

Contributing your $3,000 to a 401(k) or other qualified plan, you have the whole amount to invest and investment earnings are tax free – but you have to pay tax when you withdraw it. Leaving it in for, say, 20 years you would have $6,414 after paying your tax: $3,000 x (1.06 ^ 20) x (1-.3333).
Contributing to a taxable account, you have $2,000 to invest after tax ($3,000 x (1-.3333)) and investment earnings are taxable so your effective investment return is 4% (6% x (1-.3333)). But then you’re done paying taxes. After 20 years you would have $4,382: $2,000 x (1.04 ^ 20).
In this simple example, the qualified plan clearly beats the taxable account. But what if tax rates are higher at withdrawal? For the $4,382 in the taxable account to beat the qualified plan, the tax rate would have to suddenly jump to 54.5% at withdrawal: $3,000 x (1.06 ^ 20) x (1-.545) = $4,378. Any tax increase that happens more gradually would be worse for the taxable account, with no effect on the qualified plan.
What about capital gains? If the current 15% long term capital gains rate is sustainable and all your investments qualify, your effective return is 5.1% (6% x (1-.15)). You still start with $2,000 to invest after tax, so after 20 years you would have $5,408: $2,000 x (1.051 ^ 20). That’s not bad, but it’s still less than the $6,414 you would have had from a qualified plan.
What about different investment returns and deferral periods? We’ve used 6% return for 20 years in this simple example, but how does it change for other returns and time periods? The short answer is that higher investment returns and longer deferral periods favor the qualified plan. Lower returns and shorter time favor the taxable account.
What about a Roth IRA or 401(k)? As it turns out, Roth and regular 401(k) results are identical if your marginal tax rates are equal at contribution and withdrawal. Roth is better if your marginal rate at withdrawal is higher than at contribution time; otherwise a regular 401(k) is better. And they both blow the taxable account out of the water.
These examples confirm the value of tax deferral in qualified retirement plans. As included in the examples the tax rate would have to increase to 54.5% at withdrawal to make tax deferral a bad deal. The Roth example is simple yet effective. | 2019-04-18T13:13:34 | https://401kplanadvisors.com/the-value-of-tax-deferral/ |
Everything was great - the work, the price and of course the result.
I came to Odessa for veneers, it was recommended by a friend. Everything was great - the work, the price and of course the result. I highly recommend Avrodent!
I highly recommend this clinic for all sorts of dental treatment.
This is my second visit. I highly recommend this clinic for all sorts of dental treatment. The atmoshpere is wonderful, staff are friendly and the doctors are experienced and very helpful. I live in Belgium but I prefer to have treatment here in Turkey because I feel safe and secure.
Really happy with everything, apart from it being £800 more than quoted. I know it depends on the individual person but perhaps quote a bit more just to be safe.
Really happy with everything, apart from it being £800 more than quoted. I know it depends on the individual person but perhaps quote a bit more just to be safe. Apart from that and a little miss communication about time and pick up etc. I would recommend to a friend and happy I choose qunomedical. Just as I said before, quoted 800 less than what I had to pay.
I cannot recommend you & your clinic enough and already have friends & family booking for treatment at your clinic.
I felt like I was in safe hands throughout the entire experiance. It is daunting experiance and my first time doing anything like this. I really can’t stop smiling now my teeth are perfect!
We were picked up at the airport and had the same driver throughout our whole trip and he was lovely. We quickly formed a friendship and had a hug and selfies before we said goodbye. Hurriyet at Dentaglobe also looked after me throughout and was so friendly and professional. She is a perfect ambassador for the company. Every dentist I dealt with was so friendly and knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable at all times throughout some gruelling treatment. The hotel was clean and modern (the beds are HUGE..we joked we could rent out the part of it it was so big for my husband and I)and we enjoyed exploring the City on the days I didn’t have treatment. Julie at Qunomedical was fantastic in arranging everything before I went and answering any questions I had and staying in touch regularly. All in all I could not fault the process from beginning to end. I felt like I was in safe hands throughout the entire experiance. It is daunting experiance and my first time doing anything like this. I really can’t stop smiling now my teeth are perfect! The only thing I could think of would be a little bit more reassurance before we set off in terms of who would be meeting us and what would happen although everything went exactly to plan. I was just a little worried there would be no one there at the airport but there was!
Alles war sauber und freundlich.
Everything was clean and friendly.
They delivered the best care at an affordable price and they made me feel safe.
What an amazing experience! From the driver, to the tranlastor, to the dentist, etc.. everyone showed that they genuinely care. They delivered the best care at an affordable price and they made me feel safe. Surely, Turkey is magnificent! I like the honesty and sincerity of the individuals from the clinic.
Very friendly staff and the finish on my new teeth are just stunning.
From start to finish the service and works where impeccable. Very friendly staff and the finish on my new teeth are just stunning. I have had them for many months now with only a minor problem on return to the UK, this was very quickly resolved at a Bupa dentist. Thank you so much.
Find below the most frequently asked questions on veneers and information about Qunomedical.
If you have experienced discolouration or tooth damage and want to improve the appearance of your teeth, dental veneers could be the right option. For example, they are ideal for people who have smoked or drunk coffee for a long period of time, or who have suffered discolouration due to water fluoridation. But veneers are not suitable for those with gum disease or other dental conditions.
How do I choose which type of veneers is right for me?
The best way to choose the right veneer treatment is to arrange a consultation with a skilled dentist in your area. Only a dental professional will be able to examine your teeth and gums, and assess whether you are a suitable candidate for veneers. They will also be able to recommend composite or porcelain veneers and talk you through the installation process.
If the process is carried out properly, dental veneer installation should be painless. Anaesthetics can be used to numb the area being treated, ensuring that the application of veneers is pain-free. However, in the gap between enamel removal and veneer application, teeth can become more sensitive to cold and heat, which can be uncomfortable for the patient.
What is gum contouring and when is it needed?
Gum contouring is a process involving the use of lasers to trim gum tissue, making it appear more harmonious with the patient's teeth. It is generally used in cases where the patient's gums cover too much of their teeth, making them appear smaller than they actually are. The process usually requires a local anaesthetic and can be completed on 20-30 minutes in most cases. | 2019-04-24T18:30:21 | https://www.qunomedical.com/en/veneers/reviews |

Welcome to Baseball Prospectus' Wednesday January 09, 2013 1:00 PM ET chat session with Dan Evans.
Former Los Angeles Dodgers GM and current BP columnist Dan Evans takes your questions about baseball and the Hall of Fame.
John (Vegas): Which geogrpahic region plays the highest level of high school baseball ?
jlarsen (chicago): What is the point of a HOF vote when you send in a blank ballot or a ballot with just 1 vote?
[email protected] (Florida): Thoughts on Nick Longhi draft vs. college and as a player.
Dan Evans: Thanks for your question, [email protected]. Wondering what part of Florida you're from. I have seen Nick Longhi enough to know that he will hit, and that is either in the college game or in the pros. The ball sounds different off his bat than most of his peers. He has bat speed and pop. I saw him hit the hardest foul ball of the summer and won't forget it. My only question about him is where will he play defensively, not that he cannot defend, but his value is dependent on where he ends up playing. He is one of the high school players that intrigues me because few at his age can swing the bat like he can.
Alex (Anaheim): What team do you believe will be the surprise of 2013?
Dan Evans: Thanks for your question, Alex. How is the OC today? Two teams come to mind immediately, but keep in mind that there is a lot of roster building still to do between now and Opening Day. I think Terry Francona will immediately impact the Indians, as i respect him immensely - they'll be better. I also believe the Twins will make a lot of improvement in 2013, and they have too much core talent to have another year like 2013, plus I think Ron Gardenhire is outstanding. In another 30 days, we might have another team or two to discuss.
BR (NYC): Dan, I saw your BP-Hall of Fame ballot this morning. With your limited number of selections, do you feel the current HoF system is flawed? If so, do you think it needs fixing, and what would you do? Thanks in advance!
Dan Evans: BR from NYC...I think there are two elements that need to be considered: 1) I would like there to be no limit to the number of selection a voter can make. Limiting it to ten may inadvertently leave someone off a ballot, and an 11th guy should not be harmed; 2) I would like to see the voting pool increased by adding broadcasters and media members who have a daily investment in the game. When you are within the sport on a daily basis, seeing the best of the best, you're a better-prepared person to cast a ballot. Someone like Vin Scully not being able to vote makes no sense to me. I have a lot of respect for baseball writers after working with them for as many years as I have, but they shouldn't be the only voters.
jwfisher (Milwaukee): Any thoughts or advice for someone who is starting a career in Baseball Ops at the intern level this spring/summer?
Dan Evans: Thanks for your question, jaw fisher from Milwaukee. I started as an intern with the White Sox, and it was an incredible experience. You are joining one of the best-run teams in the game, as their GM, Doug Melvin, and his assistant, Gord Ash, are among the best in the game and have exceptional interpersonal skills. Their scouting director, Bruce Seid, is really good also. My biggest advice would be to make a complete investment in yourself, and plunge into this opportunity head-first, with no distractions or limitations. If you go in with an attitude that time is not an issue and weekends are more opportunity to learn, you'll walk out of this with new horizons and knowledge you won't be able to believe. But it takes a full commitment.
19braves77 (Pensacola, FL ): How fast are scouting reports updated in the front office on Minor League players to the GM ?
Dan Evans: Good question, 19braves77 from Pensacola. In a perfect world, scouting reports are moving to the GM and his top decision-makers on a daily basis, whether it is on players from his own organization or others. Clubs can get as much info on their own players as they desire, and the good ones have nearly limitless information, allowing them to stay on top of guys and know who is doing what. Clubs that are slow in this process will likely make slow decisions and won't be on top of players as they should be ideally. When I worked for clubs, I did not go to sleep until all the minor league games were done, as that allowed me to start the next day fully aware of what was going on.
kcboomer (KC): You must have had fun defending your HoF ballot to your colleagues. Clearly, you were making an anti-PEDS statement with your ballot that excluded a number of players. Bur why didn't you vote for Schilling??
Dan Evans: Regarding your question, kcboomer from KC, I did not vote for Schilling but I really wrestled with that one. He was a terrific pitcher, and I wish I had more time to explore his candidacy. I understand his JAWS and WAR numbers, just not sure if he was HOF. I definitely debated his candidacy the most.
Jon (Alexandria, LA): If you were the Rangers would you go with Cuban prospect Leonys Martin in center or go after Bourn?
Dan Evans: Thanks for your question, Jon from Alexandria, LA. It isn't that easy. We don't know how the Rangers evaluate Martin's candidacy for the Majors in 2013. We also do not know what Jon Daniels' budget is in 2013. Plus, Bourn would cost the Rangers a first round selection. These are two talented guys, but there is more to it than just picking a guy over another since they have different sets of concerns.
Jerry (Milwaukee): I saw your ballot for the BP hall vote, you did not vote for any of the suspected PED users. Is that just because you do not want to honor them with a first year selection or do you feel they disgraced the sport and should not be elected. Also can you expound on Frank Thomas's impact on the discussion.
Dan Evans: I did not vote for some players because, like many people, I just do not know enough about the individual situations and the players are eligible for 15 years, not just one. If there is more information or guidance, my vote might change. Regarding Frank Thomas, someone I saw play nearly every game of his first decade in the Majors, I am looking forward to seeing him inducted in 2014, because he was incredible.
Bill (New Mexico): Thanks for doing these chats; I always appreciate insights from someone with front-office experience. Here's a Q pertaining to that experience. One of the arguments against Jack Morris as a Hall of Famer is that pitchers like him in his generation -- Dave Stieb, Frank Tanana, etc. -- got rejected by HoF voters very quickly. My question is: if guys like Stieb and Tanana were so good, why weren't the high rollers of the time bidding for their services when they hit free agency? Was there an unspoken rule (collusion?) against poaching other GMs' free agents? Or did they not understand talent evaluation very well? Something else?
Dan Evans: I enjoy these chats, Bill from New Mexico. Thanks for your question. I saw Morris a ton during his career, as I worked in the AL my first 19 years in the game and was in the same league. Jack Morris was damn good, a winner, and a guy who grinned out wins and threw tons of innings. It is hard to evaluate each player's career in regards to roster decisions unles you're his agent, because that's the only person who really knows what was really out there. I certainly did not reject him as a HOF candidate, just felt he was REALLY good, not HOF.
jj0501 (washington): From an insider's perspective, how close was "Moneyball" in conveying deal making for a GM ? Do things really happen based on one or two quick phone calls, if the fit is right ?
Dan Evans: jj0501 from Washington, I am not even sure if Moneyball portrayed the A's correctly. Every trade scenario is unique because there are 30 different ways of doing business, and 30 different sets of needs and expectations. Sometimes a deal is done in one or two calls, other times they can be extremely complex. The more players involved, and the more money included within a deal in terms of contracts, the more time it usually takes. I thought the we're a lot of parts of that movie that portrayed facets of the game and some people within the sport much different that they really are, but that's Hollywood.
Alex (Anaheim): Who's the GM of the offseason thus far? Is Anthopoulos the obvious choice?
Dan Evans: I think it is too early to decide which GM made the best set of moves to bolster his team, as it is the first full week of 2013 and there are a lot of moves still to be made. I really think the best moves are made in January, when good decisions on subordinate players can impact your club, plus some of the creativity needed to sign free agents at this stage. I think Alex certainly has made great moves this off-season, and would have to have him right there with teams like Atlanta, Toronto, KC, and Detroit.
chiroclimber (Kansas City): With all the $$$ being thrown around in LA, the expectations for the Dodgers must be World Series or bust. What is the team doing to manage those expectations and keep the team focused?
Dan Evans: They have great leadership in Stan Kasten, and Ned Colletti knows what he is trying to accomplish. Managing expectations is the toughest part of the sport, and the difficult aspect is that there are so many variables out of your control. They still have the Giants in their division and I am not sure that Ramirez is a good enough everyday shortstop defensively.
Steve G. (STL): Do you see any significant changes to the voting methods for the HOF?
Dan Evans: Just learned that no one was selected in this year's Hall of Fame election, with Biggio the top vote getter at 68%. I am not sure if there will be any significant changes to the process for 2014.
JuanBobo (The Sun, AZ): Is Kevin Towers a crazy person? How can he possibly justify signing aging free-agents to multi-year contracts at over-crowded positions, while accepting cut-rate value for a good asset (Trevor Bauer) in order to address need? Is there some secret GM wisdom behind these moves I'm missing? Thanks!
Dan Evans: Thanks for your question, JuanBobo from The Sun, AZ. Kevin Towers is one of the best GMs in the game, and has been for an extended period. He has managed rosters in difficult situations and has been really good for a long time. If he has secret GM wisdom, he doesn't have to share it with us. I am certain there is a method to his actions.
allangustafson (San Diego): Sold out a good pitching staff for elite hitting in a 5 x 5 roto league. Second year of five years, going of the strategy of streaming three pitchers per week, but only have two keepers, Medlen and Zimmermann. I need two good K pitchers that will not ruin the Whip. Exclude you're top 50 pitchers, who would secure in a draft?
Dan Evans: I need to stop my session at 1230pm MST due to a previous commitment, sorry. Not sure who the top 50 are, but I would lean towards pitchers with better defense behind them and a better chance of winning games. More strikeouts in the Central Division of the AL than any other, right?
jlarsen (waukegan): Outside of sifting through rumors, it seems that Rays fans are split between Chris Archer and Alex Cobb. Alex Cobb has consistency, a higher "floor" and MLB track-record. Archer, on the other hand, has a higher ceiling, better "stuff" but is inconsistent throughout majority of career. Archer made improvements to his command and has improved his change-up enough to where it's an avg pitch and not irrelevant anymore. If you had to decide between the 2, who would you choose?
Dan Evans: Nice "problem" to have for the Rays, eh? Why make a decision before you have to in my opinion. They are both going to contribute to the Rays in 2013, and they'll need both to climb back into the postseason. Plus, different answers for short term and long term.
Rob (DC): Following up on John's (Vegas) question, the first of the day: Are there regions of the United States that represent "market inefficiencies" at this point? I think of Mike Trout. Granted, he was a first-round pick, but in retrospect he clearly deserved to be a much higher first-round pick. Was the issue there that the level of competition in New Jersey is such (i.e., lower than in Southern California) that the comparison population makes all players there tough to scout? Or could it be that there should have been more scouts in New Jersey?
Dan Evans: Great question, Rob from DC. Some clubs have an issue drafting high school position players, and most value pitching over offense, and those factors came into play I am sure. Plus, Trout playing in Jersey is a tougher high draft due to the amount you got to see him play in his senior year and the level of competition was just okay. He really impressed the heck out of me in showcases and tournaments prior to his senior year. Hitting is the toughest thing to scout, and Eddie Bane made a great decison.
Shawnykid23 (CT): Shouldn't the Sox trade for Morse and forget Napoli? Similar age and power and both have defensive limitations, except Morse would be cheaper and for less years (I believe). Could something like Breslow/A. Miller and B- type propsect get this done?
Dan Evans: Thank you for your question today, Shawnykid23 from CT. We don't know what is going on wi the Napoli situation, and since it is so confidential between the parties it is tough. I like Morse, know him from his Mariner days, and he can help a team. Tough to decide without all the information involved plus need to know budgets too.
Dan Evans: Kenny from ri, I love your state. While I like Ben Revere a lot, he is not as talented as Ichiro, one of the best defenders I have ever seen with an outstanding and accurate throwing arm combined with the most unique offensive approach I've seen. But he is a very good player.
Dan Evans: Thank you for your question, beplerP from The Big Apple. The Yankees' decision to lower their payroll doesn't necessarily mean they won't be as good - you can accomplish both. Cashman is a great GM and has exceptional staff with him. The Mets had a lot of financial issues in the past, and we are not sure whe their budget is in 2013. Both are run by among the best GM's in the game.
BR (NYC): Piggy-backing on Bill (New Mexico)'s question. Do you think Morris' late-career overlap with Clemens affect his balloting? Which if any of the following contemporary pitchers would you rank as "better" or "about equal to" Morris' career or peak performance? David Cone, Dennis Martinez, Saberhagen, Steib, Tanana, Bob Welch. Any others who stick out in your mind as "about equal?"
Dan Evans: I feel that Dennis Martinez and Dave Stieb were better pitchers than Morris. Saberhagen would have been the best of the group were it not for injuries.
jlarsen (waukegan): Speaking as a former GM, how would you approach the current position that Mike Rizzo is in with Mike Morse? He is in final year of his contract, basically positionless due to horrible fielding skills and other players ahead blocking him at the 2 positions that he can "play" at. However, he's stated that he's against being a DH. Most of the teams interested in Morse are in need of DHs and he doesn't have a no-trade clause to block any trade. As Rizzo, do you deal him for a left-handed reliever or high-upside pitching prospect(See Mark DeRosa Indians/Cubs trade for similar deal) and let new team decide how to approach Morse's distaste towards DHing?
Dan Evans: Keep in mind that he doesn't have to make his move today, but taking on a salary is something that has to be taken into consideration versus the remaining free agents. As you go deeper into the off-season then into ST, budgets tighten up. Sometimes you like the player, but cannot maneuver your payroll enough to make a move.
Dan Evans: I have to end this chat due to a previous commitment. As always, thanks for your great questions. Too bad Biggio did not get into HOF. Wishing you all the best. | 2019-04-25T03:46:44 | https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/chat/chat.php?chatId=995 |

According to statisticbrain.com, there are 85 million moms in the U.S. | 2019-04-21T22:32:58 | https://www.wealthlegacyinstitute.com/blog/archive/2016/05 |
The current Sky Sports pundit and the former England international Paul Merson has insisted that Tottenham’s title challenge has melted away from them, despite Mauricio Pochettino’s side currently just two points behind second place Manchester City.
It all stemmed from Spurs squandering a 1-0 lead at Wembley to newly promoted side Wolves after Harry Kane gave the home side the lead in the first half. During the second half the north London side failed to register a shot on target, consequently their opposition scored three and the game finished 3-1 to the travelling side.
Tottenham have lost against a newly-promoted side for the first time since April 2012 (vs. QPR), after being unbeaten in their previous 39 matches against PL new boys.
Speaking on Sky Sports this week, Merson said: “We’ve seen what happens with Spurs. They go ahead at Wolves and then melt and lose the game 3-1. They didn’t have a single shot in the second half.
“Then, when the pressure’s off they go to Cardiff and play a brilliant free-flowing football and win 3-0,” he added.
Spurs are currently third in the league with 48 points, six behind leaders Liverpool. This time last season Pochettino’s side were worse off by 11 points with a total of 37, during that time they were also an incredible 22 points behind leaders Manchester City.
It’s fair to say Spurs have come on leaps and bounds at this stage in the season when comparing it to last, this time in the hunt for the Premier League title.
Manchester United will be the next team welcomed at Wembley, and fans will be hoping for a similar result to their 3-0 trouncing of the then-Jose Mourinho managed side back in August. | 2019-04-24T18:25:41 | https://tottenhamfan12.com/news/paul-merson-delivers-frank-assessment-of-tottenhams-title-hopes-after-liverpool-stumble |
Theology and the Globalized Present focuses on the world's future in God and God's creativeness. In response to a globalized economy that reconfigures time to the detriment of human flourishing, McDowell presents a re-imagined theological vision of eschatological memory and Eucharistic performance. This entails not so much a dreaming of a different world as a dreaming of this world differently. The theological materials offer a temporality that is hope-generating, critically attentive to the inequitable character of features of our world, and educative of ethical wisdom in a self-regulating and emancipatory witness of remembering and anticipating the transformative presence of God. | 2019-04-20T21:20:41 | https://www.bookdepository.com/Theology-Globalized-Present-John-C-McDowell/9781506431611 |

Note: What you see below includes a lot of games and activities, which work great with younger students and many youth groups. However, if your group isn’t in to games all that much, then just use the teaching segments as a guideline for an upcoming message. Or if you prefer, simply pick and choose only some of what’s listed below, adding those elements to an upcoming lesson.
This lesson is designed to help make the centuries-old tradition of Lent more meaningful for today’s youth.
It helps students to understand that Lent is not just about self-denial for its own sake, but that it can be a time of meaningful sacrifice, service, and self-reflection.
This lesson is designed for a small group but can easily be adapted to larger groups.
For larger groups, divide students into teams and have them send a representative up for each of the games.
The games are used to break up the lesson to keep students engaged, and are meant to reinforce the theme of the lesson (Lent is about giving something up to achieve a greater good).
The way this works is that students (or teams) start out with a prize (candy works well) and, with each new game, have the option of giving up their prize for the opportunity to win extra candy or prizes if they win the next game.
(It looks and sounds a lot like gambling, but “spin” it so that it is about giving up something small to achieve a greater good).
Use an online version of the once-popular game show like this one.
The rules of the game will vary depending on which site you use, but should be pretty self-explanatory.
Have students (individually, or a representative from each team) take turns playing the game.
As each student/team finishes their turn, give them a piece of candy.
At this point, they can choose to eat the candy now or save it to use in the next game.
Before you begin with the quiz, offer the students the opportunity to give up their piece of candy they received after the previous game.
If they give up their candy and win the quiz game, then they get their piece back plus two more.
Give students a piece of paper or whiteboard and a writing utensil.
Ask them the following questions and have them write down their answers.
Go over the answers at the end.
The winner gets a piece of candy (or two, if they gave up their candy before the game).
Before the game, offer students the chance to give up one piece of candy for the chance to get two pieces if they win the game.
Set up two tables about 25 feet apart.
On each table place a paper bowl for each student playing the game.
In the bowls on one table place five to ten cotton balls, and on the rim put a glob of petroleum jelly.
The object of the game is for students to get all the cotton balls from the bowl on the table into the bowl on the other table.
They do this by dabbing jelly on their noses and sticking their noses in the bowl of cotton balls and getting a cotton ball to stick to their noses.
They then walk over to the other table and get the ball to drop into their bowl on the other table.
They may not use their hands in any of this.
If they drop a cotton ball before putting into their bowl, they must pick it up (they can use their hands for this) and put it back in the starting bowl.
The winner is the first to get all their cotton balls from one bowl to the other.
LESSON 1: What is Lent? Why do we celebrate it by giving things up?
Lent is a time of self-reflection and self-denial in preparation for the celebration of Christ’s death and resurrection during Holy Week.
Before Jesus began his earthly ministry, he spent 40 days in the wilderness (Luke 4: 1-13; read this with the youth if you like).
We don’t know much about that time, other than the fact that he fasted and prayed and was tempted by the devil.
So, in the same way, we ought to spend time fasting and praying in preparation for our ministry of bringing the good news of the risen Christ to the world.
Our celebration of Holy Week often coincides on the calendar with the Jewish celebration of Passover.
In preparation for Passover, our Jewish friends must do a thorough cleaning of their houses and kitchens and get rid of all their old food.
The Passover meal must be prepared with all new and fresh ingredients.
In the same way, we ought to use this time of Lent to do some “spring cleaning” ourselves.
Traditionally, Christians will fast from something (usually certain foods or drink or certain activities) during the 40 days of Lent (with the exception of Sundays, which is a weekly celebration of Christ’s resurrection).
This is to remind us of the great sacrifice that Christ made for us.
Jesus gave up so much to restore our relationship to God (Philippians 2), is it too much to ask of us to give something up for 40 days?
Before the game, ask participants if they want to give up one piece of candy for the chance at winning two pieces in this game.
Stand five to seven highlighter markers up on a table, placing them in a line about two inches apart from each other.
Place them near the edge of one of the long sides of the table.
Give each player a straw and ten Q-tips.
Taking turns, players will stand or squat on the side of the table opposite the markers.
They use the straw like a peashooter to try to knock over the markers with the Q-tips.
The player who knocks over the most markers is the winner.
In the event of a tie, place one marker in the middle (lengthwise) of the table and have the two players who tied go to either end of the table.
In this “sudden death” showdown, the players will shoot their Q-tips simultaneously at the marker.
The one to knock it over is the winner.
Below are some ideas for your students on ways they can celebrate Lent and make it a meaningful experience for themselves.
If they choose to give something up, it should not be for its own sake, but rather for the sake of gaining something greater (like the candy prizes with the games).
Celebrating Lent is not just about giving things up; it can also be about adding good things to our lives, as well as about serving others.
Encourage your students to make a thoughtful choice that will provide them a meaningful Lenten experience.
Social Media. Giving it up altogether may be difficult since many students use social media for school or athletic purposes, but perhaps limiting their use is a good start.
Texting. Like social media, texting does have its practical purposes and is necessary in many situations, but encourage students to call their friends and family members rather than texting them. A phone call is much more personal and meaningful.
Junk food. If students are in the habit of buying a soda or candy bar or coffee drink on a regular basis, encourage them to give that up for Lent. Also encourage them to use the money they would have spent on junk food to help others. Perhaps they can treat a friend to a soda or coffee drink, or they can donate the money to Heifer International or some other charity.
Sarcasm. This can be a tough one for students, but attempting to give this up can encourage students to think about what they say and to look for ways to lift others up.
Sleeping in. Emphasize again, that students should not do this for its own sake, but should use that extra time on Saturday mornings to do something meaningful and productive.
Reading the Bible. Encourage students to set aside time each day for reading their Bibles, if they don’t do so already. The Gospels are a good place to start during the Lenten season.
Memorizing Bible Verses. Students can memorize a verse a day, or a verse a week. Give them suggestions of some of your favorite verses to start with.
Prayer. Students should set aside a time each day for prayer, whether in the morning when they first get up or at night before bed. Or perhaps during passing period between classes.
Time with family. It can be difficult for families to connect with all the busyness in everyone’s schedules. Parents will appreciate the initiative if their students want to set aside time for family.
Do your siblings’ chores once a week. Not as a trade of chores, but simply to do something nice for a sibling.
Treat someone to a soda/coffee. When out with friends, students can offer to pay for their friends’ treats.
Write a thank you note to one of your teachers. Teachers get a lot of calls and emails from parents and students complaining about things. A thank you note will be very appreciated.
Help a neighbor with yard work. Offer to rake leaves or cut the grass or shovel the sidewalk.
Bake cookies for an elderly member of the church. A small gesture like this will be very meaningful for both the giver and receiver.
Or, since this is the final game, you can offer a larger candy bar for the winner.
Using a similar set-up as the first game, put about ten M&M’s or Skittles in a bowl on one table and an empty bowl on the other table.
They must use the straw to “grab” the candy by sucking through the straw and carry the candy to the empty bowl on the other table.
If they drop any candy, they must take it back to the beginning.
The first player to get all their candy from one bowl to the other is the winner.
SMALL GROUPS: How will you celebrate Lent?
Break into small groups and have students brainstorm ideas of what they might want to give up for Lent.
Remind them that whatever they choose should be meaningful to them and beneficial to others.
Give each student a note card and writing utensil.
If they decide to make a commitment during Lent (feasting, fasting, or service) have them write that commitment on the card along with their name and phone number or email address.
Have the small group leaders collect the cards, then call, text, or email the students during the week to see how their commitment is going.
This will provide students with some encouragement and accountability in their decisions. | 2019-04-22T07:06:46 | https://ministrytoyouth.com/youth-group-lesson-on-lent/ |
Harvard-Westlake hosted 320 debaters from 10 different states for a Varsity Lincoln-Douglas Debate division Octafinals qualifier to the Tournament of Champions.
On the first two days of the tournament, 12 of the best debaters in the country competed in the debateLA Challenge.
The debateLA portion of the tournament is a time for the top-debaters to experiment a bit in their augmentation in a Round Robin tournament, Bietz said. Typically, students debate in pods but in this format, they were able to challenge anyone in the field.
In hosting a tournament, the debate program strived to foster openness, transparency and cordial competition, Bietz said.
There were a number of notable performances from Harvard-Westlake debaters, including Tessa Augsberger ’22 who won the novice tournament and Spencer Paul ’19 who made it to the finals of the debateLA Challenge. | 2019-04-21T18:39:24 | http://hwchronicle.com/school-hosts-debate-tournament/ |
I have been slacking lately when it comes to content. Weeks keep flying by and it is that time again…Throwback Thursday: My Collection is back upon us.
When I first started doing Throwback Thursdays, I had an item in mind that I wanted to showoff. The problem, you ask? I couldn’t locate the item! I could only find the cardboard packaging.
Then I was searching for something completely different in a tote of TMNT items and boom, there it was!
One of the coolest vintage digital watches that I have set my eyes on! A TMNT Shredder watch from 90s.
The watch has an adjustable strap and actually fits my wrist so I was quite pleased.
I love the bulky Shredder design! It almost makes me forget how big of a coward Shredder was in the 87 cartoon.
This watch featured a flip top cover. Batteries were included but as you can see, mine have died.
There are 11 different digital watch designs in this series. The designs are as follows: Two separate designs for each turtle, April O’Neil, Splinter and of course, Shredder.
“One good turtle, deserves another.” I agree! I am hoping to collect the rest of these sweet digital watches someday. However, I just looked on eBay a few minutes ago and this Shredder watch has skyrocketed since I purchased mine. I don’t recall exactly what I paid for it but I know it wasn’t even close to the asking prices I am seeing currently.
Thank you for reading and we are one day closer to the weekend!
Bulked up Shredder? They must have had Scott Steiner model for this figure instead of Kevin Nash!
Have you considered removing the battery to prevent the battery from corroding and damaging the internals?
I have not considered that but I will now! Thank you for the tip. I would hate to have this piece be ruined by something that could have been avoided. | 2019-04-20T12:35:03 | https://thewhitefootsoldier.com/throwback-thursday-my-collection-10/ |

The safest and most effective Pycnogenol dosage has not yet been clearly established. Because Pycnogenol is a dietary supplement, it does not have to go through dose-range studies (as medications do) to determine the safest and most effective dose. However, the studies that have been done on Pycnogenol used doses ranging between 25 mg and 360 mg each day.
What Is the Recommended Dosage of Pycnogenol?
A recommended Pycnogenol® dosage has not yet been clearly established. Unlike medications, for which the standard doses have been well established in carefully designed studies, there is less information available for determining the best dose for most herbal supplements, including Pycnogenol.
Is There a Reasonable Pycnogenol Dose?
With both prescription and non-prescription medications, researchers establish the most effective and safest doses in special studies, known as dose-range studies. These studies are done early in the development of medications, long before they are ever approved. However, because herbal supplements do not require approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dose-range studies are rarely performed. Without such studies, only vague "trial and error" information is available.
Even though Pycnogenol has undergone several studies, it is not known if the doses used in these studies are the safest and most effective. Read the label of your particular Pycnogenol product carefully and consult with your healthcare provider in order to find a reasonable dose for your situation. In general, studies used Pycnogenol doses ranging from 25 mg to 360 mg per day. Some studies split the dose into two or three smaller doses per day, while other studies used a once-daily dose.
Because the manufacturing of supplements such Pycnogenol is not closely regulated, it is important to choose a trustworthy manufacturer of your supplements. Your pharmacist is a good source of information regarding which supplement manufacturers are more reputable than others. Even though Pycnogenol is a patented extract that seems to contain a high-quality active ingredient, the supplements themselves, which are made by several different companies, may vary in quality.
It is probably best to take Pycnogenol with meals or just after meals, as this may decrease or eliminate stomach upset.
If you have any chronic health problems or take any prescription medications, you should check with your healthcare provider before taking Pycnogenol.
If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or Pycnogenol dosing in general, please talk with your healthcare provider.

Jennifer Burd’s newest poetry collection explores the many ways we deal with loss.
Jennifer Burd’s second full-length collection, Day’s Late Blue, was released by Cherry Grove Collections last year.
its scarves upon the river.
Interested in both loss and growth, Burd shows us how life goes on after losing a loved one. We learn that things come and go, but we can always grow from what we lose by cherishing the environment that surrounds us.
Even though the speaker is drained of energy, she admires nature, watching the animals that work hard for their own survival and how they somehow know exactly what they need to do. The imagery in these first two stanzas immediately sets up the poem’s tone and relates back to the theme of loss. The enjambment here also leaves the reader hanging from line to line. This is seen in lines four and five: “watching the birds / in their quick-numbered / moves.” Burd leaves a phrase on the edge for the reader’s contemplation while also keeping them focused on the poem.
Not only is it traumatic to suffer a loved one’s death, but these two stanzas convey a feeling that it is even worse when it is slow and painful. Throughout the poem, the speaker’s mother’s memory worsens. Sometimes it is not just us that lose them, but that they slowly lose us, too.

Из явных недостатков то, что они продают 20% от всех токенов за 45млн.
Также можно зайти только в формате пресейла, от 50 эфиров минимум, обычное ICO отменили.
Я думаю купить на 100 эфира. отправил им письмо - жду ответа.
40% (development and ecosystem) : some of it will be reserved for long term (>2 years) projects (and will be completely frozen until that point). The rest will be used to facilitate the creation, prosperity and expansion of the ecosystem, through subsidizing of predictions. Namely - entrepreneurs, academic researchers and early users will be given tokens that can be used for predictions only. This will not devalue the token, but on the contrary - will enable the fast creation of businesses around EDR (=more demand) and support information (more accurate predictions ==> more demand).
20% (partnerships) : will be discussed on a case by case basis, The goals of this is to enable strategic partnerships through the access to large-scale predictions at a low cost ==> as an investment for the creation of sustainable business at a later stage. Therefore - liquidating the tokens is not the idea here, and we would discuss appropriate mechanisms with our partners.
For example, EDRs can be allocated as proxy for other services in the crypto sphere (e.g. a Bancor Relay). In this cases, the EDRs are frozen, and act as an enabler of the overlaying services, with zero liquidation.
Собирают 45 миллионов- это дофига, твиттер - 2к подписчиков, мин. участие 50 ETH. Не, нахрен.
Я деньги не будут собирать вообще, если зайду - я оставлю эфир кошелек, куда просто переведете, а потом раскину назад на эти кошельки токены, когда придут и все.
Я принял решение не участвовать.
Ну бонус там от 500-1000eth когда, пулы то купят крупные, просто не вижу смысла именно в текущей ситуации. | 2019-04-26T04:50:50 | https://ttrcoin.com/threads/ico-endor-otzyvy.1505/ |
If you work construction, accidents are more likely to happen than if you worked an office job (though of course, accidents happen there too).
Job sites are fraught with opportunities to trip and fall. Uneven, slippery surfaces are the most likely culprit, but sometimes the very devices that are there for your safety could be at fault, such as improperly constructed scaffolding, faulty or worn safety harnesses, ladders that aren’t securely anchored, etc.
Such “moving objects” could include a tool dropped from an overhead platform or scaffold, a stray nail or staple ejected from a pneumatic tool, collapsed masonry, or even a vehicle whose driver didn’t properly set an emergency brake or take proper care in driving through a work area.
Power lines are always one of the biggest concerns when seeking to prevent construction accidents, because this type of hazard can be hanging overhead or hiding underground. In addition, tools that require electricity must be properly grounded, or anyone in the immediate vicinity is at risk.
These types of construction accidents are the definition of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This category includes getting caught under unsecured heavy machinery, unstable piles of materials such as gravel, and deep trench cave-ins.
Construction accidents often result in serious injuries such as concussion, limbs that require amputation, blindness, deafness, paralysis, permanent scarring, and death. Survivors often find that their ability to make a living in the future is impacted. That’s why it’s important to keep all your records in order and consult an attorney as soon as possible after construction accidents.

In this episode I show how to start adding more commands, how to use the language updater script, and how to start doing some basic desktop navigation. I'll show you how to open and quit applications, and how to switch from one application to another using your voice.
For information about installing blather for the first time, as well as the startup script that I use, please refer to episode 0 of this series, which has examples and links for this stuff.
Commands are configured in a "key: value" pair, where the key is what you wish to say, and the value is the command that will be executed when you say it. We will start out with some very basic ones, but these can be as elaborate as your imagination and scripting skills will allow. You can execute built-in system commands, or you can write your own scripts that will be executed upon the voice command.
GO TO CHROMIUM: wmctrl -a "google chrome"
QUIT CHROMIUM: wmctrl -c "google chrome"
The first command launches Chromium, the second one will switch focus to Chromium when you are currently in another program, and the third one closes Chromium. This makes use of the command line tool wmctrl, which is a very handy window management tool. The wmctrl -a command chooses which window to put focus on (or close) based on the window title, which in the commands above is given in quotation marks. There are many options to how wmctrl can find windows and take actions, but for now we will just use this basic option.
Once you have one command set of this kind working as you like, it's very easy to set up additional command sets for all of the desktop applications you use most often.
GO TO clementine: rid=$(pgrep clementine -u $(whoami) |head -n 1) && rwinname=$(wmctrl -lp |grep $rid |sed -e "s/.*$rid * //" | sed -e "s/$(hostname) //") && wmctrl -a "$rwinname"
Opening the music player is easy. Switching to it is something else. To make this work I first find the process ID of the Clementine music player, and then I use the wmctrl list command to list all of the windows that are open and I grep for the process ID that I found in the first part. Then I extract the window name from that command's output and use the result inside quotation marks in the very last command to change Focus to that window. Whew!
This makes use of the wonderful xdotool package to execute a virtual keystroke. Magic!
Would this work for headless computers. I mean opening and closing minetest server running on a single board computer.
Yes, I think so. I'm pretty sure that Jezra uses this on a headless computer in his house. You might go back and listen to my interview with Jezra from episode 1284 (http://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=1284) and see what he says about it. | 2019-04-24T02:57:18 | http://www.hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=2054 |

Well here we are in part 3 of the series Advanced Decoying or what I like to call common sense decoying, In this article I will show you how I turned a group of four Young Sports with no experience at all into fine pigeon shooters.
It all started back in early march when a couple of the Pass It On Young Sports parents (completely non Fieldsports families) wanted me to take their kids under my wing and teach them further what they had learnt on the ranges our taster days.
Thus the Young Sports training started first they were taught all about the crops we were protecting i,e their uses why they were planted the times they planted crop rotation animal feed human consumption etc.
Then they were taught the importance of good and proper field craft and recognisance, I have said it before and I will say it again if you do not get this right you will fail more than you succeed, The old adage failing to prepare is preparing to fail and my ole Pappy and Dad taught me well so I now pass these teachings onto the novice or Young Sport or in part here in my articles.
So after a few months of training with air rifle and shot guns and a multitude of different hunts and scenarios we head out on the standing crops and indeed the icing on the cake for a pigeon shooter the stubbles themselves.
I let the Young Sports plan the entire days shooting from recce to equipment to hide positions to decoy placement to gun choice and cartridge choice etc, This was a set of days to see how much they had learnt and how I had transformed complete novices into well taught and rounded pigeon shooters.
Well I will say these four Young Sports have really absorbed what they have been taught and with a standard decoy pattern out using recognisance and field craft they have proved you don’t need every gadget under the sun to achieve a good day, Although all the whirly gigs flappers and floaters etc have their place you must learn the traditional ways first or you will never fully understand your quarry or how to hunt them.
I will tell you of two such hunts that the Young Sports enjoyed all on their own merit with me supervising them, I think you will see from the videos that accompany this article they really did have their own red letter days.
And by this I don’t mean the size of the bags I mean they achieved good solid hunts and enjoyed every moment of them whilst doing a great service of crop protection and vermin control at the very same time.
Its mid-August the wheat had just been cut and the pigeons and corvids alike were building up on the crops, So Dad and I got right into them after watching the fields for a few days we had the flight lines marked and what can I say whilst I awaited the arrival of my Young sports we had some great sport.
Now it was time for the Young Sports to plan were they would go they had been out on recce with me before so pretty much had an idea were to set as you will see from the accompanying videos.
Hide set decoys out time to start shooting as the first of the birds dropped in to our decoy pattern, First Jacob got to shoot then Connor whilst Tyler and David not forgetting Brook my hard working black lab did all the retrieving and tidying the decoy pattern up and a fine job they did too.
The boys took it in turn to shoot and soon got their eyes in taking birds with ease from 25 to 45 yards, I telle that lesson the boys had from Robert Eaton at a Pass It On Young Sports taster day really was worth it, If you want to book a lesson with Robert his email is [email protected] I can whole heartedly recommend this to get you shooting straight I telle.
Well very late afternoon the rain came in and stopped play with a good pile of pigeons and corvids on the ground and some wet soggy and hungry but happy Young Sports we decided to call it a day, As it was the only bit that was wet was the outside as the boys were all kitted out with the simply brilliant Jack Pyke (www.jackpyke.co.uk) clothing range of hunter suits and were literally bone dry and warm as fresh buttered toast underneath, I truly cannot praise the Jack Pyke brand high enough and has The Ole Hedge Creepers thumbs up.
Day 2 we had just finished cutting the maize and so I took Young Sports Jake and Tyler out on a small piece of barley stubble, We had not cut the maize alongside this 8 acre field of stubble yet so we did not need a hide as we could use the standing maize as a hide, I let the boys choose position and recce the field first, I telle I have taught these lads to have the eyes of a countryman and think like their quarry.
David and Connor were away on holiday in the Isle of White so they missed out on this little field that was rammed with pigeon and corvid alike, But Jacob and Tyler took full advantage of it and shot like true pro’s in fact they ran out of cartridges before the end of the shoot so had to switch to air rifles as all we had left was some wildfowling cartridges I had bought them ready for the start of the fowling season that would be starting in a few days’ time.
I had a little go for an hour and showed the boys some shooting skills on longer range birds and I was quite happy with 4 right and lefts on the trot right over the decoys, I am glad to say I still got when I have to shoot, Shooting is something that has always came quite natural to me, I don’t really have any talent’s but being out in the field since I could walk and being taught by some of the old masters I just seem to ease right into using a gun, I guess I was blessed really as it matters not weather it is a rifle shotgun air rifle or pistol I have always found shooting quite a pleasure.
We finished the day with some truly happy Young Sports with an impressive bag laid out before them, We also picked up a lot more after the pics and video as the farmer next door gave us permission to retrieve our fallen birds, With those added to bag we had well over 100 mixed corvids and pigeons, With some happy Young Sports and a very happy farmer and a very proud Ole Hedge Creeper.
So like I say if I can teach a group of young lad to shoot like pro’s and be good fieldsportmen without all the gadgets I can teach you too, All the gadgets have their place but without good field craft and proper recognisance, All the kit in the world won’t make a blind bit of difference when it comes to hunting the Earl Grey (woodpigeon) or any other quarry for that matter if you don’t have proper field craft and that comes from time spent learning your craft.
So if you take anything away from this article or indeed any of my articles to be good at what you do it takes field craft/ knowledge of your quarry its habits and habitat and the crop you are protecting etc, If you want any advice drop us line at the diary and we will try our best to help you were we can. | 2019-04-26T00:10:28 | http://www.theolehedgecreeper.co.uk/blog/advanced-decoying-iii |

Sonora Pass is located in the mountains of Sierra Nevada, in Mono County, California. The asphalted road that traverses the pass—State Route 108—is one of the highest mountain roads in the state. Its peak elevation is 2.933 m (9,624 ft) above the sea level. This road is popular due to its scenic beauty, but it is also somewhat dangerous with sharp turns and blind spots. Sonora pass that links Sonora to the west and Bridgeport to the east is closed in winter, roughly between mid-November and mid-May, due to snow and ice. After the first heavy snowfalls, Sonora Pass becomes a haven for snowmobilers, snowshoers and cross country skiers. Wintersports fans can enjoy great snow conditions and challenging terrain in the Bridgeport Winter Recreation Area.
Summer activities along Sonora Pass include fishing, biking, horseback riding, hiking, and camping. There is a picnic at the top of the Sonora Pass on the Walker River featuring several tables, grills, and restrooms. Far-reaching views of Sierra Nevada range are guaranteed. Sonora Pass is part of The Pacific Crest Trail and National Scenic Trail. For those who want to spend the night in the mountains, there is a Sonora Bridge Campground open in June–September. Located on the West Walker River in a Jeffrey pine forest, the campground offers 23 camping spots for fishers and hikers.
Some sections of Sonora Pass are very steep (about 26% grades). The narrow road is winding between Kennedy Meadows on the west side and Leavitt Meadows on the east. The route is not for wide, heavy or long vehicles. Sonora Pass was a trade route as early as in 1852 by when a wagon train of Clark-Skidmore Company was taking immigrants through the mountains. | 2019-04-24T06:37:44 | https://rove.me/to/california/sonora-pass |
My life journey has brought me great joy as I have expressed my love of nature and my savior through the eye of the camera as well as in written form. I desire to share my blogs with others and see life ignite.
I love living my life under the reign of Jesus Christ, believing and speaking, seeing restoration and freedom erupt in others lives, as I declare His goodness through a shutter and a pen.
Your divine life story being encouraged and brought to life is my greatest desire.
I hope you enjoy the treasures that I share. | 2019-04-19T04:44:42 | https://unearthinghistreasures.wordpress.com/about/ |
The following account of Patterson in the 19th century covers the years 1865-1875, and was written by the Rev. Horace E. Hillery. Hillery intended the narrative to be a history of the Patterson Presbyterian Church, but the account also gives an overview of world and national events during that time period, including the Civil War, and also gives much information about the makeup of Patterson at the time. The account was published in 1938.
Hillery lived in Patterson for several decades, and was most visible as the pastor of the Patterson Presbyterian Church. He was also very interested in local history, with many published articles, and was appointed the first Putnam County Historian in 1953.
The ten years following the Civil War were bursting with world significance. England liberalized her suffrage through peaceful action. Russia's earlier movement toward freeing her serfs was given up. Japan's revolution moved toward modernization. Spain spent years in civil war and anarchy. Prussia fought two successful wars - first with Austria, then with France. This was followed by the establishment of the German Empire. Italy was at last a united people. France was forced by the threat of war with the United States to give up her empire in Mexico. Napoleon's empire gave way to the present French Republic. Alaska was purchased from Russia by the United States. A sporadic attempt by disbanded New York troops to invade Canada was put down. Two years later Canada was given the status of a Dominion.
Two world views engaged the mind of man. Darwin's "Origin of Species" (1859), while creating considerable effect in England and on the continent of Europe, was lost to American thought for nearly twenty years because of the Civil War. In 1870 the Doctrine of Papal Infallibility became the capstone of the Roman hierarchy.
Except for the short depression of 1867, America was to know exceptional prosperity, until the five years' panic beginning in 1873. Until 1865 easy money had been the general policy of our national government. This was stepped up by the issuing of "greenbacks," or paper money during the war. But the National Bank Act of 1865, and the movement toward the withdrawal of greenbacks, produced a short depression. The election of 1868 was based on the issue of hard and easy money. Hard money won. The wars in Europe gave timely aid to this policy. In spite of all the land opened by the Homestead Act, wheat soared in price through the demands of warring peoples. In 1873 when European soldiers returned to planting and harvesting, the price of wheat in America was less than half that of the previous year. In 1875, the government moved once more toward hard money, though the law was not put into effect for four years.
The problem of disbanded soldiers was happily solved. The Homestead Act of 1862 granted free land to all takers. The discovery of precious metals in the Rockies attracted the adventurous. The extravagantly subsidized continental railroads - the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific - absorbed surplus labor. The wave of Scandinavian migration had set in, that was to bring one-fourth the population of the Scandinavian countries to America in a short time. While most of them moved to the Middle West, a smaller stream found its way into this community.
Protective tariff was the governmental policy, except for a brief reduction in 1872.
Politically, the close of the Civil War found the Republican Party in power in both the nation and the State. But in the main, New York was to ally herself with the "solid south" for much of the following decade.
Horatio Seymour, former New York Democratic governor, in 1868 was Presidential candidate against Grant. Republican Governor Fenton was succeeded for four years by the Democratic Governor Hoffman. In 1872, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune and liberal Republican, became the Democratic candidate against Grant. General John A. Dix was the successful Republican governor. Two years later the Democratic Party elected Samuel J. Tilden Governor. The year before, at the outset of the depression, the Republican Congress had voted themselves a healthy increase in salary and had made it retroactive. The next year the House was Democratic.
The strain of four years war on the moral stamina of the people was akin to the late World War. A distinct decline was seen in the attitude of the politicians. "To the visitor belongs the spoils" became the order of the day. "Carpet bagging" political appointees from the North, bred in the South a resentment which years have not healed. Though no taint has ever fastened itself upon President Grant, relatives, friends and political appointees were among those singled out for scandal.
Of all corrupt governments, New York City and State was the prize. "Boss" Tweed was born in New York City and schooled in the political practices of the volunteer fire companies. He soon rose to the control of the New York County's Board of Supervisors. In 1868 when Hoffman became Governor, Tweed added the State to his plunder. One plan which miscarried was to make Putnam County a reservoir and park for the City. In 1871, a quarrel over the division of spoils was exposed in the New York Times. Four judges were impeached. Tweed and his gang were imprisoned. Democratic Governor Tilden completed the cleanup by ousting the Erie Canal graft ring. After ten years the moral tide had set in.
The Revival in 1875 in this community may have had a quite definite relationship to the increasing moral temper of the American people.
During the Civil War, farmland in New York State increased 15% in value, and wages increased 70%. In spite of the "hard" money policy generally followed by the Federal government, except for the short recession of 1867, prosperity continued for seven years - wars in Europe, discovery of precious metals in the West, speculation, and government subsidy of continental railroads - all brought an increasing wave of prosperity. But the five-year depression beginning in 1873 reached Patterson with telling effect. Those who had prepared, weathered the storm. Those who had not, lost what they had. The ten years following the War showed a considerable turnover in the property ownership of the community.
The moral relaxation that follows war revealed political corruption throughout the nation and the State. While New York State was generally Democratic during this period, Patterson followed the political fortunes of the newly established Republican Party by a two to one vote. Tavern-saloons, generally served the community as voting centers. Tripp, Cotteral and Chase at Towners, Cowls hotel and Cowls store at Haviland Hollow; Akins Corners on Route 22; and Fletcher and Seaman at Patterson Station; were places of this character.
Supervisors for this period were: Sylvester Mabie, Hiram Penny, Daniel Judd, William Green, Alfred C. Penny and James E. Taylor. Town Clerks, were for some years Cyrus B. Lawrence (owner of "City Mills") and then Lewis Pugsley (general merchandise partner with Edson Sloat and postmaster of Patterson). Town Clerks for shorter terms were John W. Towner, D. Coleman Nichols, 0. W. Sloat and then Charles S. Irish.
Local differences of interest created friction immediately following the War, and may have carried over into the Church disturbance that was in effect about the same time. The almost complete turnover in town officers and church officers ten years later may reflect a new temper in the community.
In the early part of the War (1862), by a vote of 58 to 7, a "tax of $5,000 on the town to pay volunteers $100 each" was raised. By 1864 the Pawling Bank held the town's note for $6,500. In the same year another levy up to $10.000 was voted to pay each volunteer $300 each.
In 1961 the Rev. Hillery published a book titled Putnam County in the Civil War. The book gave an overview of the causes of the Civil War and the roles that Putnam County residents played in the war effort. Topics include Patterson and Putnam notables serving in the Union Army, the West Point Foundry in Cold Spring, the Borden Condensed Milk Factory in Breswter, and the 59th Regiment. The book is well illustrated. The book was distributed through the Office of the Putnam County Historian. The Rev. Hillery was County Historian at the time.

Patterson needed to raise money for the Civil War effort. As Hillery notes, the plan was to pay each volunteer $100. Several Quakers lived in the Town, and could not pay into the fund because of religious beliefs. The Town government, led by Supervisor Daniel S. Judd, father of Charles H. Judd, decided to raise the money by a special tax. Because of President Lincoln's urgent appeal for troops, the decision was made to forego the usual town meeting to discuss the tax, and to create the tax by order of the town government. Patterson was the only town in Putnam County not to use a bond to secure its war debt. Taxpayers preferred a "pay-as-you-go" method. The note for $6,500 was held by the Pawling Bank, and was signed by forty-four Patterson townspeople. It was paid in May 23, 1864.
In 1867 Horace Greeley, publisher of the New York Tribune, spoke at the Carmel County Fair. Five years later he left the Republican P arty and ran in opposition to Grant for the presidency.
Temperance sentiment brought the National Prohibition party into being in 1872. A "local option" bill passed the New York Legislature, but was vetoed by Republican Governor Dix. Lectures and social gatherings by the forces of temperance were frequent in Patterson.
The occupations of Putnam County in 1865 were in the following numerical order of importance: farmers, laborers, servants (each numbered from 1,000 to 1,500), merchants, mechanics, carpenters, machinists, (each numbering from 100 to 250), 88 (?) were still in the army, milliners, blacksmiths, boot and shoe makers, millers, hat and cap makers (each numbered from 50 to 80).
Other occupations of interest in Patterson were: carriage and wagon builder; sash and blind factory in conjunction with the work of undertaker; manufacturer of saddles, harness and trunks; cattle brokers; and freighters.
A collection of ads from the 19th century: Mrs. Delavan advertises "fashionable millinery" work, and M. L. Barber announces that he has assumed the carpentry and sash and blind business of A. Patrick. Barber notes that he will trade wood for goods. Both ads appeared in the January 4, 1859 edition of the Putnam County Courier. In the May 21, 1864 edition of the Courier, J. H. Merritt advertises his dental services. The Carmel resident made calls in area villages served by the Harlem Railroad. During the second week of the month, he was in Patterson on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and in "Towner's" on Fridays and Saturdays. Merritt did not recommend the use of anesthetics. Finally, David Jennings announces his carpentry services in the May 30, 1874 edition of the Courier.
A typical woman's work included: embroidery, making overalls and socks, sewing all day (in one instance 22 yards of cloth was used for a dress), "ironed an awful ironing", baking (including a wedding cake), cleaning the "baggage room", picking strawberries, currants and blackberries, canning the same; having a flirtation with a visiting minister, making a winter bonnet, making sausage, and perhaps most difficult of all, wrested with the building of a coal fire.
In 20 years (1855-75) sheep shearing decreased 90%, although the quality was better. In ten years (1865-1875) pork killed decreased 25%, and beef cattle experienced a sharp decline. Wheat was no longer raised, and the formerly important barley crop was on the way out. Hay, oats, corn, chickens and eggs, and later potatoes and some tobacco (1875) were raised. In 1865, 3,000 gallons of rhubarb wine, and in 1875, 1,000 barrels of cider were produced. A butter and cheese factory between Towners and Carmel may have largely accounted for the yearly production of 30,000 pounds of butter and nearly 900 pounds of cheese. Two metal works produced nearly $8,000. A limekiln lay west of Towners. Eleven gristmills ground slightly less than 60,000 bushels of grain. Nine lumber mills turned out twice as much chestnut as oak, and a smaller amount of walnut and other lumber. The total amount, however, was small, considering that New York State produced the most lumber of any state. 165 farms (1875) of which 55% were 100 acres or more in size, increased their milk production 50% in ten years. In 1875, 2,100 cows produced one million pounds of milk.
Food which at least was a variation from the usual diet, included cod fish cakes, turkey, beefsteak and sweet potatoes, freshly ground corn and milk, new cider, French rolls, oysters, homemade molasses candy, popcorn and roast potatoes.
An epidemic of smallpox followed by a period of dysentery was prevalent in 1872. The same year had a "tremendous blow" (June 14) in which horse sheds at Towners were demolished. A heat wave was followed the next winter with weather 27 below zero.
Social life was expressed by jumbo, euchre, cribbage, fortune telling, proverbs, quilting bees, mile parties, rag carpet surprise parties, and frequent sleighing (including travel through the Croton Swamp). Dancing was often a come early, stay late affair including supper dancing and what will you. In one instance they "danced only four sets after supper, then wailed till after four o'clock." One favorite song of the time was, "Come All, Fill the Flowing Bowl." Fletchers, Seaman and Jennings Hall were centers for indoor gatherings. Tweedy's Grove and Picnic Grounds drew during the summer. On one occasion nearly 100 were dancing in the Grove (about fill the floor).
The Odd Fellows met over Akins Tin Shop (Carey's old store). The Grange came into being during this period (meeting in 1874). Schools were often in two terms of thirteen weeks each, half in summer and half in winter. Occasionally the whole school year was from May to October. In District 6, in 1850, the teacher's salary was $1.25 a week. In 1870 it was voted not to pay over $6.50 a week. The average pay in 1876 of Patterson's ten districts was $9.66 a week. Sometimes the teacher was boarded by the "Scholars'" parents according to the number of children in the school. Wood was supplied to the school in the same ratio.
During this period the State School Tax was increased 67%. The Select Schools of this period will be presented by Mrs. Jennie Barrett this afternoon. Mrs. Barrett attended and also conducted a select school.
Singing school was led by Prof. Prindle at Towners. The "Reading Circle" was apparently a declamatory organization.
Whittier, Longfellow, and with reluctance, Scott was read. Fiction included Dickens' "Pickwick Papers," Thackery's "Tale of Two Cities," James Cooper and Lew Wallace. In lighter vein was "Helen Courtney's Promise" and "Mrs. Daffodil's Adorers." The latter "nearly killed" the reader with laughter. More serious was Irving's "Life of Washington," history, travel and a generous number of religious works.
The New York Times and the New York Tribune were read in Patterson homes. An extract from the Tribune penned as comment on a local wedding read: "Hope is like a harebell trembling for its birth."
Priest Benedict completed forty years as minister of our church about the close of the Civil War. He spent the remaining five years of his life in the community. Except for his home and thirty acres (where Ralph Nichols now lives) and a wood lot on Bundy Hill, he had not laid by for a rainy day. A year after his retirement, Presbytery called the attention of this Church to his straightened circumstances. The Donation Party which grew out of this information was pronounced a "pleasant party" by one present. Three years later, on the celebration of their Golden Wedding, more than $1200 was showered on the couple. Six months later, within a few weeks of each other, both husband and wife laid down life's work, and now rest directly back of our Church in grateful memory of their labors. Both children and grandchildren were born and buried in the community.
An interesting commentary on the influences of life is shown by this Connecticut Yankee. He lived for many years in the South. He married a southern girl. The church in which we worship is southern colonial architecture. During the Civil War not one word appears in the Sessional Records in reference to the conflict. Col. Noah Benedict Knapp, for many years in the South, married a Patterson girl and spent his summers here. At the death of Priest Benedict their home passed to Knapp, and a few years later Col. Knapp's generosity was to bring one of the most munificent gifts which our church has known in its long history. His son, Matt Benedict, went as a Union soldier. For more than 30 years, a select school was part of Benedict's ministry to this community. Incidentally it may have been a part of his successor's troubles.
During all his ministry the name of Hayt was most frequent in the church. No less than a dozen Hayts had been received into the church the decade before his coming, and during his ministry a dozen more were received. The girls of the family married future church officers Cornwall, Pudney and Baldwin. Six elders were to carry on the leadership of the church from Benedicts ministry. Hervey Crosby served as elder from 1834. Fifteen years later David H. Lawrence, Samuel M. Cornwall and Benjamin B. Benedict, 2nd, each of whom had served the church in various offices for years, were elected to the eldership. Two active churchmen from other communities, James 0. Towner and Cornelius T. Pudney, were made elders in 1864, the last year of Benedict's ministry.
Hervey Crosby and David H. Lawrence found themselves at variance with Priest Benedict. Tradition says it was Benedict's temper and his unfavorable appraisal of a certain scholar's ability that caused the breach. Crosby and Benedict carried their feud to Presbytery. Crosby was removed from active membership. Lawrence took his letter to the South East church.
When young Rev. Nathan M. Sherwood came as pastor, Hervey Crosby was restored to active membership and to the eldership, and two years later David Lawrence returned his letter to the Patterson church and shortly after was re-elected to the eldership. During Sherwood's short ministry, James 0. Towner and Samuel M. Cornwall were lost to the eldership, the first by letter, the other by death.
In 1865, the first year of Sherwood's ministry, the large addition on the north end of the church was undertaken. James R. Hayt, New York City merchant, builder of what is now Capt. Gelinas' home, and for years Clerk of the Church, was made chairman of the building committee. In addition to work and materials from New York City, generous sums were paid to R. Dean, Nichols and Co. and Jennings. The painting by the Wrights was included in the $900 building report.
Before the addition was complete, other interests engaged the attention of the young minister. Tradition says the wedding of Emily, the daughter of Elder Benjamin B. Benedict, to Rev. Sherwood was performed in the as yet uncompleted church. A baby girl blessed their home in the spring of 1867.
Other officers of the church in this period were George T. Dean, Deacon since 1849, who also served as Treasurer, Trustee and Collector at various times. Trustees were William Weed and John Clark Weed and Francis Theodore Baldwin. Also John Towner, Benjamin C. Baker, Benjamin Cowl, Esq., E. A. Hayt, and others served for short terms.
At the annual meeting, the trustees were instructed to "forbid persons from digging soil from in front of the burying ground" by law if necessary, and a committee was appointed to build a fence in front of same. A few years later the ground on the south side of the highway was graded to its present level.
Priest Benedict's interest in his select school might naturally have led to his neglect of the boys and girls of the public schools. At any rate the Sabbath school had developed under the superintendency of Elder Cornelius Pudney independently of the minister. When Rev. Sherwood sought to oversee the school he was quite ignored. The record would indicate just grievance. On the other hand, impartial estimates of Uncle Pudney's lovable character would indicate that tact might have healed the breach. The legal friction which stirred the community that year may also have played a part. Except for Pudney, Sherwood's father-in-law Benjamin Benedict and the other elders supported their minister. Trial was to be had at a special meeting of Presbytery at Patterson. In the meantime Sherwood found an opening in the Reformed Church in Cold Spring. With Pudney's assurance to Presbytery that he would fulfill his vows as elder "to study the peace, purity and prosperity of the church", the case was dismissed.
Only seven were received into the church during Sherwood's pastorate. A few left the church because of the friction, and other, as often happens, simply became inactive.
If, however, it did nothing more than rouse James Paterson to his responsibilities as a churchman, the church experienced a host by that act.
In January, 1868, Dr. James Baird was supplying our church and engaged in the reorganization of the Sabbath school. Four months later he was employed as stated supply for one year at a salary of $1,000 and an additional sum of $200 in lieu of a manse. That year he lived in the house recently occupied by John Benedict Lawrence, next to James Paterson, and now owned by V. N. Kelley. An offer of $3,000 by the church to the owner, Mr. Banks, was refused. An arrangement with James Paterson enabled Dr. Baird to move to the house just north of the cemetery, which had been occupied by the recently removed Baptist minister, Rev. A. W. Valentine. Dr. Baird lived there the rest of his ministry in Patterson.
At the end of the year, Dr. Baird was called as installed pastor of the church. James Paterson and James R. Hayt were the committee to present the call to Dr. Baird.
In the same year, in recognition of his success in working out a bad situation, Dr. Baird was made moderator of the Presbytery of Connecticut (the forerunner of the Westchester Presbytery).
In 1870, in addition to the three surviving elders, Crosby, Benedict, and Pudney, David H. Lawrence, William Weed and James Paterson were elected elders, the latter being made Clerk of the Session and Benevolent Treasurer.
Rev. E. P. Benedict and Rev. Benjamin Benedict, 3rd, the latter a product of our church, and son of Elder Benjamin B. Benedict, 2nd, assisted Dr. Baird in the ordination of these elders.
William Weed lived on the F. Sprague property. For years he had been a trustee or Collector for the church. It is recorded of him that he did not miss a Friday night prayer meeting for thirty years.
Within three years four elders were lost by death: Crosby (70), Benedict (72), Lawrence (72), and Paterson (73). Only Weed and Pudney were left.
The thirty years division between the old school and the new school in our national church was healed in 1869. As a celebration of the occasion of this reunion, a goal of five million dollars in church improvements was set for the local churches, the same to be completed in 1872. Fortunately, the very prosperous years of 1871 and 1872 brought the total to nearly eight million dollars.
In our community, James Paterson made a life insurance policy of $,3000 to the church. $1,550 of this was received three years later, and after having the use of the interest for five years, the principle became the major part in the cost of our present manse.
The following resolution was adopted by the church: "In view of Mr. James Paterson's kindness and good wishes for this society, we would most cordially tender him our thanks for his kindness - and pray that God will most abundantly bless and finally admit him into the realms of "glory above".
In the same year, Mr. Paterson offered $1,000 toward a building for "lecture room, Sabbath school and prayer meeting purposes" on condition the church raise a like sum. This was done, and James R. Hayt was again made Chairman of the church's building committee. Our chapel was dedicated November 23rd of the following year.
In appreciation of Mr. Paterson, the church voted that the "pew number forty-four be set apart to him and his heirs as long as they require it." Mr. Paterson and his wife did not live to see the completion of the undertaking.
In the same year the auction of the pews was given up, but the depression the next year in time made it necessary for the church to return to the practice for a few years.
During Dr. Baird's ministry, prayer meetings were held Friday nights in the homes of the community and later in the chapel. A preparatory service was held on Saturday afternoons before communion.
Dr. Baird was an able preacher, but a comment on a particular communion service was that the church was very cold, and that the service was long, with the "long" prayer singled out.
During Baird's ministry, Rev. Sherwood preached one "extremely hot" morning and evening. The pronouncement was an "eloquent discourse". Two sons of the congregation returned to preach - Rev. Benjamin Benedict and Rev. Oliver Dean. Even then Dr. Dean's message was noted as a "good sermon".
In 1875 began the last three years of Dr. Baird's ministry. So great a change in the community and church occurred that to all intents and purposes it was almost a new beginning for the church, and so shall be treated as a separate chapter in the history of the community.
Indicative of the change was the receiving of the first endowment to the church, the incorporation of "The Presbyterian Society," the revival which brought more members into the church than had been received in a dozen years, and which nearly doubled its membership, the addition of four elders to the two elders then serving, and the increase of three new trustees.
Of Dr. Baird it can truly be said, "he did a good work," and brought his ministry to a close when the church was moving forward with renewed momentum. | 2019-04-24T07:52:58 | https://historicpatterson.org/Exhibits/Exh19Century.php |
The only words I have are to say I have no words.
Just got back from Chicago and Chambana. I always enjoy seeing so many special people and the fact that this was my last excursion out there is bittersweet.
My trip included two days of schooling, a graduation photoshoot, limo rides, swimming, steak and shake, complimentary bloody mary's, dinner with an amazing professor, and fun with supertramp friends.

I'm wearing my H&M clearance boots, my $1 thrift slutty sorority girl crop top, and the pants are an ebay find. You can't see in the pic, but they are slit up on the bottom half and have a silver star print. Yay shiny shine shiny!
Also, I've listened to/watched this about a million times today in preparation for tonight. Tell me, how can Dawn Robinson kill it so hard? And yessssss to Saadiq at the Hollywood Bowl!
I'm trying to show my new earring from hot topic. Very Jane Child.

Here is a great post by the boys at Crystal Ball run. It is a must read if you are trying to predict the national champion. Why? Because one of these teams is, for sure, not to play the in BCS Playoffs Championship game. History does tell us that at least one of these teams will be playing for the title, which is even more likely now that a team can have at least one slip up, even late in the season, and stay in the race. My bet is of course on Bama, but I think that these guys tend to agree that Bama looks strong again based off of Coach Saban’s track record and the reloading of talent on the defensive side of the ball. @InTheBleachers (Michael Felder) gives the strongest support to Bama’s chances. I completely agree with his assessment of the team and I hope that Bama proves him right.
Does anyone remember 2010 at all? How’d that work out for the Tide? Last time I checked that wasn’t a spectacular season in Tuscaloosa.
Michael Felder: That’s a patently false statement about Alabama. There’s a difference between “I haven’t heard of the next guys on the depth chart” and “they have no depth.” And let’s get one thing straight, Nick Saban is not the same laissez faire coach that Mack Brown is where development is concerned. Tana Patrick, CJ Mosley and Jonathan Atchison are linebackers with experience who should be starting, except they have better guys ahead of them. Nick Perry has played good snaps as the roaming back-up safety to both Vinnie Sunseri and Robert Lester. Up front they have a couple of bodies on defense who have seen considerable snaps in the rotation.
Big difference between not knowing the guys and not having any guys. USC has legitimate issues with depth. Alabama has guys who have played that you haven’t heard of.
As for 2010, you mean the defense that gave up 13.5 points a game? The defense that held Arkansas to 16 points below its season average? The defense that honestly played one bad game against South Carolina, thanks largely in part to Stephen Garcia playing lights out along with Alshon Jeffrey and Marcus Lattimore. Depth isn’t why Alabama lost to LSU and Auburn. Experience isn’t why the Crimson Tide lost to LSU and Auburn. They lost to LSU and Auburn because the run-pass dynamic of a mobile quarterback paralyzes a defense that’s rooted in rules, and Bama has struggled with that type of quarterback dating back to 2008’s SEC title game.
Here’s to hoping that 2010 doesn’t happen again.

Bengaluru: She is a head cook in a lower primary school in Nanjangud. But in all the 16 years that she has worked here Padmini (name changed) has never been allowed to touch the food served to the children.
Although most people in the village belong to the scheduled caste, the school where she works has hardly 16 children from the community while the rest are Kurubas.
“All these years I bought vegetables and cleaned the vessels, and was never allowed to touch the food while it was being prepared or serve it. Only the Kurubas were allowed to cook while the scheduled caste were chosen as helpers. Later I fought my way up and became head cook in 2016. But whenever I make the food only the 16 SC children come forward to eat it and the rest walk away,” she recounts.
Her helper though is a Kuruba and when she prepares the food in Padmini’s absence it is eaten by all children.
In one incident a woman from Nanjangud was reportedly warned with dismissal if she spoke to the media and the village heads instructed everyone not to eat the food she made or even touched.

How big does my hair look? It's apparently taking over my head.
And now I cannot stop. No really. Consider this a revolution of sorts!
I like the fact that it adds that "something". It’s the kind of detail that is made for summer days and everything I have acquired to date will be making it into my suitcase for my August holiday. Oh god, I cannot wait for that time!
Anyway, here are my picks!
1. Urban Outfitters kaftan – Link! – this is the most expensive pick but I like the idea of getting a kaftan for beach situations. I think this is also pretty enough to wear out in the evening.
2. New Look top – Link! – A cheap number from New Look, here the detail is very subtle across the top edge but it’s there. I also like the flow on this one.
3. Missguided top – Link! – I am 100% going to buy this. It will be great to wear with shorts/jeans. It’s just a good basic with a twist.
4. ASOS shorts – Link! – Elephant print? Sure! As long as pom poms are involved.
5. Topshop top – Link! – This looks like a good basic in a versatile olive colour. My only concern here is what would happen with the boobage situation within this style but let’s not worry about that now.
So that’s where I am with pom poms. Oh and if you like Nikki’s stuff then send her a message on Instagram – here’s her profile page. All fabrics are sourced/made in Bali. The floral pattern is my personal favourite!
ps. how did you get your hair so big??
I don't know! I think it was the heat. No oribe was used either. So odd!
Your hair looks so nice and full of volume.
I love that little bit of extra detail that they add to the shorts! Pretty!
Loving the pom poms too! They are great, your hair is stunning!
I've seen pom pom trimming, but never knew that's what it was! I love that Top Shop tank!
pompoms look so cute, I need to put them on all of my clothes!!
Love the chevron design as well as the pom pom trim on your shorts Laura & way to go with the big hair!
I was originally thinking big knitted pom-poms for some reason but this detailing is sooo cute!!! I like the look of the Boohoo shorts but think I will wait and see how you get on with them first!!
Love this trend! You should check out your local boutiques- they seem to have the cutest pairs that aren't as mainstream!
Definitely interested in hearing how those BooHoo shorts turn out. They look AMAZING!
Love these picks! Etsy also do so lovely handmade ones!
Your hair does look voluminous! I love pom poms too... I want a scarf and shorts with them on! | 2019-04-22T20:01:47 | http://www.buynowbloglater.com/2014/07/pom-pom.html |
The price tag of the new HX Statesman de Ville was $8,554 in 1976 - $4,000 cheaper than the Caprice - making the Statesman an affordable prestige car for the family man.

Early Start™ Pink Garden Phlox is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the larger thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

With more than 7,000 islands and 28 nations, the Caribbean is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. Yet, with so many islands to choose from picking one to visit is the hardest part!
Okay, we know picking which luxury island to visit is hardly going to be a tough affair. After, all the Caribbean is home to blissful temperatures, stunning scenery, a delicious foodie scene and a culture which will probably mean you never want to come home. But, the islands do vary, and you want to ensure that the one you pick is the perfect choice for the type of holiday you plan on embarking on.
Are you looking for an adventure holiday? A chilled-out beach affair? Value for money? A family holiday of a lifetime? Or a romantic getaway? Well, the Caribbean has something for everyone, and we’ve rounded up the best of the bunch!
Situated just 50 miles from the Floridian coast line, the Bahamas is made up of 700 islands and 2400 cays, surrounded by coral and uninhabited paradise. From bustling Nassau, which is often filled with cruise ships and the largest number of visitors to the Bahamas, to the Out Islands (the islands which are outside of Nassau) where you’ll find secluded beaches and a more peaceful escape.
Why go? For a picture perfect holiday. The beaches are powder-soft and made up of limestone-white sands with shallow shorelines making it a picturesque destination. The Bahamas also benefits from around 340 days of sunshine per year on average, with the driest months between December and April. Visit in June to see the world-famous Junkanoo festival – it’s something not to miss.
When you say Caribbean one of the first islands to come into your mind is of course Jamaica. A destination which appeals to a variety of travelers – be it those who want to experience the home of reggae or those looking to take advantage of the golf courses on Montego Bay.
Why go? Bird watching. Yes really. Jamaica is home to an incredible variety of birds, including 29 world endemic species. Hiking up the mountains is also popular among travellers, and you can stop off at a number of coffee plantations en route.
Colourful villages, sun-drenched beaches, and a glittering sailing scene (it’s home to the Caribbean’s major regatta and mega yachts), Antigua and Barbuda is perfect for those looking for a luxury holiday escape.
Why go? Barbuda is less developed than Antigua, but is home to beaches which rival its sister Antigua. However, Antigua is still home to some of the best beaches in the Caribbean – the beaches south-west of Jolly Bay are stunning. In fact, you could visit a different beach every day of the year!
If you’re looking for an island that you could get round in just a few days, then Anguilla is the perfect choice. Famous for its white sandy beaches (it has just 33 to choose from), and it’s laidback and relaxing atmosphere there’s no better place to unwind.
Why go? Street food! The Valley in Anguilla is home to some of the islands most famous food vans which offer everything from pizza, pasta, lobster and ribs – delicious.
St Kitts and Nevis is a two-island nation and is home to a jungle terrain, and beaches with a mountainous backdrop. Plantation houses, rainforest hikes, bustling nightlife and relaxing beaches can call be found when you visit the country.
Why go? Unique activities. St Kitts is home to the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park – a world heritage site which dates back to the 1690s. Plus, the St Kitts Scenic Railway allows passengers to travel along an 18-mile gauge line which previously transported cane.
Now, I know you’re now thinking about how incredible these destinations sound. So much so that you’re wondering how you can make the Caribbean your home. Well you can, through a Citizenship by Investment programme. However, Caribbean countries have recently tightened their regulations – yet, this simply shows the dedication to excellence that these countries are achieving. | 2019-04-22T20:56:09 | https://www.naamagazine.com/luxury-travel/help-which-caribbean-island-should-i-visit/ |

Platinum group metal-based (PGM) catalysts are widely applied in many electrochemical systems, such as PEM fuel cells or metal-air batteries, because of their excellent catalytic performance. However, due to the high raw material cost of PGM catalyst, there have been strong needs to reduce the material cost of electrochemical systems by developing non-platinum group metal (non-PGM) catalysts to replace PGM catalysts. In recent years nitrogen doped-graphene (N-G) has become one of the promising non-PGM catalysts.

A Review on Non-PGM Cathode Catalysts for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell.
In recent years, people attach high attention to the energy problem owing to the energy shortage of the world. Since the price of energy resources significantly increases, it is a necessary requirement to develop new alternative sources of energy to replace non-renewable energy resources. Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology is one of the promising fields of clean and sustainable power, which is based on direct conversion of fuel into electricity.

At Willowbrae Academy we believe in giving back to our communities and realize the importance of teaching young children the joy of giving. What better way to achieve this then partnering up with Ronald McDonald House Charities. This nonprofit organization finds, creates, and supports programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. Seventy percent of Canadian families live outside of cities where children’s hospitals are located, often forcing them to travel long distances to receive the needed care and treatment for their sick child. Ronald McDonald Houses are the cornerstone of Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada (RMHC); they offer those families who don’t live near a children’s hospital, a warm and compassionate place to stay, while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital. By supporting this incredible organization, we are helping families with sick children find the comfort and support they need during a difficult time in their lives.
Each Academy will host two yearly events to help raise funds for their respective Ronald McDonald House Charity. Families, friends and staff of Willowbrae can also donate at any time throughout the year by visiting the online fundraising site associated with the Academy. By participating in these fundraisers, we are able to give back to communities that support us, help children and families in need, and in turn, expose the Willowbrae family brand in a positive way.
What: Students and staff will participate in a "PJ Walk" around their Academy location, where they will go for a walk in their PJ’s and collect donations for the Ronald McDonald House.
What: Willowbrae Academy will have muffins and/or pancakes made and families can partake in the "Breakfast" when they drop their children off in the morning and leave a donation.
There are currently 15 Ronald McDonald Houses coast-to-coast which provide families of sick children with a home to stay at while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital. Complete with bedrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms, the Houses are an oasis of support for families during difficult times.
Approximately 51% of families with critically ill children across Canada are hosted at the Ronald McDonald Houses. That’s more than 10,000 families every year, however there are still many families who are turned away every day due to lack of space. Some Houses report turn-away rates as high as 70%. Our long-term goal is to ensure 100% of families with critically ill children have a place to call home. By fundraising, donating or getting involved, we are helping to reach that goal.
Sixteen Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in Canadian hospitals provide a comfortable place for families to rest and recharge, right inside the hospital, often steps away from a pediatric or intensive care unit. Research shows that staying close by allows parents to better communicate with their child’s medical team and improves adherence to complicated treatment plans. Families will often find a kitchen area that includes a stove or microwave, shower and laundry facilities, sleeping rooms and more.
Two Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles (mobile health units) help provide basic medical care to underserved communities in Alberta. By providing cost-effective, high-quality, medical, dental and health education services, this vehicle literally opens the door to health care for thousands of children and their families. All Ronald McDonald Care Mobile services are provided in a 40-foot long, 8-foot wide, state-of-the-art vehicle built specifically for delivering pediatric health care services.
505 families stay at a Ronald McDonald House or Ronald McDonald Family Room across Canada every night.
There are 15 Ronald McDonald Houses & 16 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms and 2 Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles across Canada.
Over 30,000 families from 1,800 communities across Canada are supported by RMHC programs.
6,000 caring volunteers and 283 dedicated staff bring Ronald McDonald Houses to life every day for families.
Together we can provide sick children with what they need most - their families. Your donations help keep children close to their families and to the care they need to heal. A little can change a lot and your donations matter, by keeping families together during a child’s illness. It's individual donors like you who make it possible. No matter the amount, the cumulative impact of the gifts you give – whether monetary, in kind, or volunteer hours – is profound. Your support is greatly appreciated, thank you! | 2019-04-24T23:48:36 | https://www.willowbraechildcare.com/about-willowbrae/ronald-mcdonald-house-charities |
Bishops have signed a petition calling for Theresa May to change or stop the roll out universal credit.
The Bishop of Southwell & Nottingham, the Rt Revd Paul Williams and Bishop of Sherwood, the Rt Revd Tony Porter, signed the petition by End Hunger UK which will be delivered to the Prime Minister on 7th November.
The charity want improvements to the design of the new benefits system to ensure people aren't at risk of going hungry or getting into debt. They also want the government to promise to make it easier to apply for and assurance that it will progress into an adequate supply of income that allows families to buy good food regularly.
Bishop Paul said: “I have signed the End Hunger UK petition, calling on the Government to continue a rigorous review assessing the impact ‘on the ground’ under Universal Credit.
Their support comes just a week after the Trussell Trust expressed concern at the roll out of the next phase. A report by the Trussell Trust on 5th October highlighted the major increase in the proportion of food bank referrals made for people moving onto Universal Credit over the last two years.
In the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham there are eight Trussell Trust food banks working out of 23 distribution centres, which last year gave out 23,322 three-day emergency food parcels to people in crisis. There are also at least seven independent food banks.
The petition will be delivered to the Prime Minister in the lead-up to the Budget later this month. | 2019-04-21T13:13:29 | https://www.premierchristianity.com/News/UK/Bishops-join-Trussel-Trust-in-universal-credit-concerns |
SITIAWAN — The incident where four vernacular school students suffered burns during a school project was attributed to an accident, and not negligence.
Perak Education, Technology, Science, Environment and Information committee chairman Dr Abdul Aziz Bari said investigations so far revealed all standard operating procedures were adhered to during the laboratory session.
The students of SJKT Maha Ganesa Viddysalal were involved in a science project when they were scalded about 10.30am.
“Investigations so far show it was an accident,” Aziz said after visiting one of the victims at hospital yesterday.
Three other victims are currently being treated at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital in Ipoh.
Abdul Aziz said the state government would provide appropriate assistance to the families of the students and the school to avoid such events recurring.
Abdul Aziz said the poor conditon of laboratories in school should be addressed to prevent undesirable consequences resulting in injuries to students.
“This incident also makes us aware that we need to be committed to providing infrastructure to schools,” he said.
The incident came to light after a recording went viral over social media.
The state education department and district education office commenced an investigation immediately. | 2019-04-21T09:16:31 | http://epaper.mmail.com.my/2018/08/11/probe-underway-on-students-scalded-in-classroom/ |
Improved remaster from a new source! Mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony.
Along with the legendary Mercyful Fate and some considerably more obscure acts such as Alien Force, Randy and Crystal Knight, Copenhagen's own Witch Cross must rate as one of the best Danish heavy metal bands ever. Their 1984 album »Fit For Fight« is surely one of the Top 5 albums in the history of Danish metal. | 2019-04-26T16:49:25 | https://www.hrrecords.de/high_roller/sites/release_detail.php?relno=607 |

The continuing surge of Silicon Valley giants gobbling up Tech City startups has led some to question whether London will ever be able to produce its own billion-dollar tech company that it craves so badly.
The continuing surge of Silicon Valley giants gobbling up Tech City start-ups has led some to question whether London will ever be able to produce its own billion-dollar tech company that it craves so badly.
Towards the end of last week, Menlo Park-based Facebook agreed to buy certain assets of Monoidics for an undisclosed fee, allowing the social media giant to identify bugs on mobile apps and websites with the start-up’s code-checking software.
Monoidics, founded in 2009 by Italian entrepreneur Dino Distefano, will move its engineering team into Facebook’s London office once the deal has fully closed.
“Right away we knew this was our chance to take what we’ve built to the next level. Joining the Facebook team opens up a world of new opportunity for our technology and for our individual and collective scientific expertise,” said Monoidics on its website.
Meanwhile, Palo Alto-based Cloudera purchased Google Campus based machine learning and data mining start-up Myrrix at the beginning of last week.
Other London-based companies to have been snapped up by Silicon Valley giants recently include Summly and TweetDeck, which were bought by Yahoo and Twitter for £30m and £25m respectively.
While the start-ups cash in on these deals and see it as a positive move, there are concerns that some of the best tech companies are failing to reach their full potential by selling out too quickly.
Most UK start-ups would consider selling for £100m or even £10m as a ‘major success’, while some founders turn into serial entrepreneurs, said Holway.
Holway claimed that many companies set up with the intention of being bought by global players and start-ups openly say this to VCs.
“Even when we are in sight of a $1bn IPO it is likely to be a NASDAQ float rather than in London,” said Holway, claiming that Shazam, King, Markit and Sophos will probably opt for NASDAQ over the London Stock Exchange.
Start-ups need support from both the public and private sectors if they are to flourish in the UK and become tech giants.
However, earlier this year, MPs on the Science and Technology Committee found that the government is failing technology entrepreneurs and does not have a coherent strategy to support the commercialisation of technology innovation.
The Select Committee’s report found that a lack of funding and the inability to foster long-term SME growth was stifling the UK’s tech scene.
“The UK’s university and science sector is a global success, but the challenge for government is how that world class academic research can be translated into commercial activity,” said Chair of the Select Committee, MP Andrew Miller, following the release of the report in March.
Benjamin Southworth, Tech City deputy CEO, told Techworld that Silicon Valley has been buying start-ups across the world for the past 15 years and the recent acquisitions reflect the high calibre of London’s start-ups, which have benefited from a number of recently introduced initiatives.
The government-led initiatives, such as the Entrepreneur Visa and the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEED EIS), were introduced to help start-ups access the talent and funding they need at an early stage.
“All this means that London is now a highly attractive proposition for companies at every stage of their growth trajectory,” said Southworth.
Meanwhile, the High Growth Segment was recently created by the London Stock Exchange to give high-growth companies a new route to a UK market listing.
However, Holway argues that the High Growth Segment has had little impact. “If it had, we would be seeing some IPOs by now and those like Shazam and Sophos wouldn't be thinking NASDAQ,” he said.
A report out last week found that London’s Tech City start-up cluster became home to more than 15,000 new businesses over the past year.
Founder of Seedrs – the a UK based online platform for investing in start-ups – Jeff Lynn, told Techworld: “Sure the Silicon Valley guys will gobble up some of them, but in this robust ecosystem, many others will grow to substantial scale.
However, Lynn believes that the UK is going to see an increasing number of businesses decide that acquisition isn’t the right path and that they’re better to grow naturally.
When a company sells up, the surrounding community may be concerned that talent, IP and other assets will be relocated, leaving things worse than they were before.
But what do entrepreneurs need to do in order to create a billion-dollar company?
Robbie Hughes, CEO of clinical management software company, Qinec, told Techworld that British people need to change their attitude if the country wants to contend with the US.
Many of the founders who cash in are likely to be entrepreneurs who start other businesses in the UK.
There are pockets of the UK where billion-dollar tech companies exist, such as Cambridge, where there are 12 companies with turnovers over 12 billion sollars.
Billion-dollar IPOs that have occurred in Cambridge include CSR and ARM, but neither of them are on the scale of Google or Cisco.
One UK start-up that has been tipped as a billion-dollar company is Cambridge-based RealVNC.
“There are plenty of companies here who are going for the big-time and who are not interested in acquisition,” RealVNC founder and CEO Andy Harter told Techworld. | 2019-04-26T13:40:47 | https://www.techworld.com/startups/can-uk-create-billion-dollar-company-when-silicon-valley-giants-prey-on-its-best-start-ups-3460068/ |

It's not hard to figure out what the worst part of last night's MTV Movie Awards was: The Pussycat Dolls performance of "AGGGHH! Boom! (Gonna Explode The Senses Out Of You)." Those four minutes seem perfectly tailored for torture—interrogators take note.
The second worst part of the MTV Movie Awards, however, is a little more difficult to pinpoint: The lengthy Verne Troyer sketch that was a commercial for Orbit gum? The mere, baffling presence of Tom Cruise? Adam Sandler's painfully extended version of "Nobody Does It Better (Than The Sandman)"? Adam Sandler's referring to himself as "The Sandman'? Adam Sandler's continued existence? Lindsay Lohan and Diddy's Clinton vs. Obama banter? The fact that the set looked like the inside of a giant, undulating calculator? It all occupied the same tier of terrible.
Still, last night's MTV Movie Awards did make history. The show is now the 2008 record-holder for number of irrelevant pop cultural references used as jokes in a movie or TV show—at least until Aaron Friedberg and Jason Seltzer's new movie comes out later this year. A guy dressed up as Javier Bardem's character in No Country For Old Men? That's hilarious. Transformers jokes? Use them all: They never get old. Wayne's World? Even though the majority of MTV's core audience was around 4 years old the last time those characters had an inkling of relevancy, and even though resurrecting them now is akin to digging up the bones of a horse that died over ten years ago, placing them on stage and beating them, sure. That can't miss.
When the two stars of a series of wholesome Disney musicals about high school are smirking in judgment at you from the audience, that's not a good sign. Maybe Mike Myers should have gone with a rehash of Coffee Talk With Linda Richman instead? | 2019-04-26T15:49:11 | https://www.avclub.com/no-joke-too-old-for-the-mtv-movie-awards-1798214078 |

Custom SuperUserGroup - Implications for other Hadoop Services?
If we set a custom value for dfs.permissions.superusergroup do we need to add any other Hadoop services to that group in order for the cluster to function normally?
For example, if we set "dfs.permissions.superusergroup=blueManGroup" would we need to add service accounts such as hive, hdfs, oozie, etc. to the "blueManGroup"?
@Wes Floyd are you still having issues? Can you accept the best answer or provide your own solution?
My answer is No. Extract from the above test "I also did not screw up the fact that hdfs is my true superuser as shown by my "old" HDFS home directory process." | 2019-04-19T10:30:41 | https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/4359/custom-superusergroup-implications-for-other-hadoo.html |

For other things named Descartes, see Descartes (disambiguation).
René Descartes (March 31, 1596 – February 11, 1650), also known as Cartesius, was a noted French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist. Dubbed the "Founder of Modern Philosophy" and the "Father of Modern Mathematics," he ranks as one of the most important and influential thinkers of modern times[citation needed]. For good or bad, much of subsequent western philosophy is a reaction to his writings, which have been closely studied from his time down to the present day. Descartes was one of the key thinkers of the Scientific Revolution in the Western World. He is also honoured by having the Cartesian coordinate system used in plane geometry and algebra named after him.
Descartes frequently contrasted his views with those of his predecessors. In the opening section of the Passions of the Soul, he goes so far as to assert that he will write on his topic "as if no one had written on these matters before". Nevertheless many elements of his philosophy have precedents in late Aristotelianism, the revived Stoicism of the 16th century, or in earlier philosophers like Augustine. In his natural philosophy, he differs from the Schools on two major points: first, he rejects the analysis of corporeal substance into matter and form; second, he rejects any appeal to ends—divine or natural—in explaining natural phenomena. In his theology, he insists on the absolute freedom of God’s act of creation.
Descartes was a major figure in 17th century continental rationalism, later advocated by Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibniz, and opposed by the empiricist school of thought, consisting of Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. Leibniz, Spinoza and Descartes were all versed in mathematics as well as philosophy, and Descartes and Leibniz contributed greatly to science as well. As the inventor of the Cartesian coordinate system, Descartes founded analytic geometry, that bridge between algebra and geometry crucial to the invention of the calculus and analysis. Descartes' reflections on mind and mechanism began the strain of western thought that much later, impelled by the invention of the electronic computer and by the possibility of machine intelligence, blossomed into, e.g., the Turing test. His most famous statement is Cogito ergo sum (French: Je pense, donc je suis or in English: I think, therefore I am), found in §7 of Principles of Philosophy (Latin) and part IV of Discourse on Method (French).
On March 31, 1596, Descartes was born in La Haye en Touraine (now Descartes), Indre-et-Loire, France. When he was 1 year old, his mother died of tuberculosis. His father was a judge in the High Court of Justice. At the age of ten, he entered the Jesuit Collège Royal Henry-Le-Grand at La Flèche. After graduation, he studied at the University of Poitiers, earning a Baccalauréat and Licence in law in 1616, in accordance with his father's wishes that he become a lawyer.
Descartes never actually practiced law, however, and in 1618 he entered the service of Prince Maurice of Nassau, leader of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. His intention was to see the world and to discover the truth.
Here he met Isaac Beeckman, who sparked his interest in mathematics and the new physics, particularly the problem of fall of heavy bodies. On November 10, 1619, while traveling in Germany and thinking about using mathematics to solve problems in physics, Descartes had a vision in a dream through which he "discovered the foundations of a marvelous science" . This became a pivotal point in young Descartes' life and the foundation on which he develops analytical geometry. He dedicated the rest of his life to researching this connection between mathematics and nature.
In 1622 he returned to France, and during the next few years spent time in Paris and other parts of Europe. He arrived in La Haye in 1623, selling all of his property, investing this remuneration in bonds which provided Descartes with a comfortable income for the rest of his life. Descartes was present at the siege of La Rochelle by Cardinal Richelieu in 1627. He left for Holland in 1628, where he lived and changed his address frequently until 1649.
In 1633, Galileo was condemned by the Catholic Church, and Descartes abandoned plans to publish Treatise on the World, his work of the previous four years.
Although Descartes never married, he fathered a daughter, the issue of an affair with a woman named Helene; Francine, born in 1635 and baptized on August 7 of the same year. Much to Descartes' distress, she died in 1640 at the age of 5.
Descartes is often regarded as the first modern thinker to provide a philosophical framework for the natural sciences as these began to develop. In his Meditations on First Philosophy he attempts to arrive at a fundamental set of principles that one can know as true without any doubt. To achieve this, he employs a method called methodological skepticism: he doubts any idea that can be doubted.
He gives the example of dreaming: in a dream, one's senses perceive stimuli that seem real, but do not actually exist. Thus, one cannot rely on the data of the senses as necessarily true. Or, perhaps an "evil demon" exists: a supremely powerful and cunning being who sets out to try to deceive Descartes from knowing the true nature of reality. Given these possibilities, what can one know for certain?
Initially, Descartes arrives at only a single principle: thought exists. Thought cannot be separated from me, therefore, I exist (Meditations on First Philosophy). Most famously, this is known as cogito ergo sum, ("I think, therefore I am"). (These words do not appear in the Meditations, although he had written them in his earlier work Discourse on Method).
Note; Descartes was also sceptical of memory, as that has also been known to be manipulated, and can be doubted, so the 'cogito' argument can only apply to the present. The phrase is therefore more accurately (but less famously) translated as; "I am thinking, therefore I exist"
Therefore, Descartes concludes that he can be certain that he exists. But in what form? He perceives his body through the use of the senses; however, these have previously been proven unreliable. So Descartes concludes that the only undoubtable knowledge is that he is a thinking thing. Thinking is his essence as it is the only thing about him that cannot be doubted. Descartes defines "thought" (cogitatio) as "what happens in me such that I am immediately conscious of it, insofar as I am conscious of it". Thinking is thus every activity of a person of which he is immediately conscious.
"Thus what I thought I had seen with my eyes, I actually grasped solely with the faculty of judgment, which is in my mind."
In this manner, Descartes proceeds to construct a system of knowledge, discarding perception as unreliable and instead admitting only deduction as a method. Halfway through the Meditations, he offers an ontological proof of a benevolent God (through both the ontological argument and trademark argument). Because God is benevolent, he can have some faith in the account of reality his senses provide him, for God has provided him with a working mind and sensory system and does not desire to deceive him; however, this is a contentious argument, as his very notion of a benevolent God from which he developed this argument is easily subject to the same kind of doubt as his perceptions. From this supposition, however, he finally establishes the possibility of acquiring knowledge about the world based on deduction and perception. In terms of epistemology therefore, he can be said to have contributed such ideas as a rigorous conception of foundationalism and the possibility that reason is the only reliable method of attaining knowledge, as others said before him, though not as clearly as he did, and the rationalist answer to scepticism which other rationalists have elaborated on.
In Descartes' system, knowledge takes the form of ideas, and philosophical investigation is the contemplation of these ideas. This concept would influence subsequent internalist movements as Descartes' epistemology requires that a connection made by conscious awareness will distinguish knowledge from falsity. As a result of his Cartesian doubt, he sought for knowledge to be "incapable of being destroyed", in order to construct an unshakeable ground from which all other knowledge can be based on. The first item of unshakeable knowledge that Descartes argues for is the aforementioned cogito, or thinking thing.
Descartes also wrote a response to skepticism about the existence of the external world. He argues that sensory perceptions come to him involuntarily, and are not willed by him. They are external to his senses, and according to Descartes, this is evidence of the existence of something outside of his mind, and thus, an external world. Descartes goes on to show that the things in the external world are material by arguing that since God would not deceive him as to the ideas that are being transmitted, and that God has given him the "propensity" to believe that such ideas are caused by material things. Skeptics have responded to Descartes' proof for the external world by positing a brain in a vat thought experiment, in that Descartes' brain may be connected up to a machine which simulates all of these perceptions.
Descartes's theory provided the basis for the calculus of Newton and Leibniz, by applying infinitesimal calculus to the tangent problem, thus permitting the evolution of that branch of modern mathematics . This appears even more astounding considering that the work was just intended as an example to his Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verité dans les sciences (Discourse on the Method to Rightly Conduct the Reason and Search for the Truth in Sciences, known better under the shortened title Discours de la méthode).
Descartes' rule of signs is also a commonly used method in modern mathematics to determine possible quantities of positive and negative zeros of a function.

Precedence—figuring out the proper ranking for guests and other event elements—is the key issue that drives many other event decisions, according to Chris Young, executive director of the Protocol School in Washington. Young presented this and other advice at his keynote address at the 2013 Academic Event Professional Conference, which launched today in Chicago in conjunction with The Special Event.
Young urged attendees to bear in mind that protocol goes beyond a set of arcane rules; instead, it is an issue of perception about appropriate behavior. Protocol "is not what is right or wrong," Young said, "but how the principal figure looks at the end of the day." He added that protocol is about setting the right set of conditions for an event to succeed.
To help navigate the tricky world of protocol, Young advised, "Rule One is, start with the right rule."
Precedence "drives everything else," Young said, but the rules of precedence can be hard to pin down. For example, each country has its own list of precedence for issues such as the ranking of dignitaries and the like. And it's not always codified, Young said.
When in doubt, he recommended asking involved parties what the proper protocol is. Once the planner has the recommended precedence order, then "document the snot out of it," he said.
Young offered strong opinions about seating, advising against straight rows and recommending herringbone arrangements, which "encourage interaction," he said.
Young urged event planners to think about the "why" of every event they develop. "The 'why' should drive everything that you do," he said. Among the Young stressed to attendees that protocol "is not about you," Young said. "It's about the guest."
Following Young's presentation, event experts Rick Jobe of Jobe and Associates, Sally Webb Berry of The Special Event Company and the AEP organizer, and Robert Sivek, CSEP, CERP, of The Meetinghouse Companies gave advice on how to incorporate experiential elements into academic events. The panel was moderated by Special Events editor Lisa Hurley.

Each year as I finish putting the garden to bed for winter, I look for easy-to-cut greens, and interesting stems and berries to use as Christmas decoration.
Most residential gardens can provide a range of fresh cut greens, interesting stems, seed heads and cones - sort of like a florist in your own backyard. The diversity of decoration depends on the complexity of the garden's plant palette. Given that the North Shore is heavily treed with cedar, fir, hemlock, spruce and pine, many gardens likely have those basic plants for cut greens. But beyond the basics, there's a realm of plants that can offer interest and beauty for decoration that cannot be bought at the store. Here are some suggested plants for Christmas decoration. Broadleaved plants are the easiest place to start looking for Christmas cuts because those plants are widely planted in residential gardens. There are rhododendrons, lily of the valley bush, skimmia, boxwood ivy and others to use for making wreaths, centrepieces or winter containers.
For something less common try Portuguese laurel (Prunus lusitanica) with its green, glossy, pointed leaves with reddish-purple petioles (leaf stem) for contrast. Portuguese laurels grown as hedges may have less to offer for decorating cuts. However plants grown as large shrubs or trees will often have red to dark purple berries on their stems to complement the leaves for decoration.
Broadleaved plants, like variegated holly, are typical places to start but they pale in comparison to the beauty of Magnolia grandiflora.
Also known as the southern magnolia, this tree provides large glossy leaves that can be used standalone or as foil for other stems and berries in the arrangement. If you are lucky enough to have a magnolia with indumentum on the bottom sides of the leaves you will be rewarded with glossy bright green leaves on top with rich dark to light brown felt or hairs on the bottom.
Magnolias also produce large globular fruits that range in colour from pink to red to burgundy. The seeds from the colourful fruits are gradually exposed and range in colour from pink to magenta. The brown indumented leaves combined with the bright pink fruits make a gorgeous table display or vase at the front door.
Broadleaved plants need bright companions to brighten up the display and nothing is brighter than the berries of winter. Callicarpa bodinieri (a.k.a. the beauty berry) is a must have for seasonal decoration. The stunning violet coloured berries develop in late fall and are held in tight clusters on the shrub's branches. Be sure to combine those berries with an equally bright but contrasting colour of foliage to act as a foil and show off the berries.
The cut branches from Callicarpa can be big and difficult to place on a table setting but the berries are best enjoyed up close. So some cutting and creating of a suitable decoration is required with this plant. Cut carefully on beauty berry to avoid destroying the plant's structure and future fruit producing wood.
Roses also produce clustered and single rose hips in shades of orange, red, pink and burgundy. If you haven't pruned your roses for winter yet, check your climbing and shrub roses for rose hips to use for decoration. Even the common Meilland landscape rose and the wild shrub rose types will produce colourful rose hips in shades of red and orange. There's also the benefit of colourful frost toned thorns on the rose's stems to augment the display.
Along with foliage and fruit there are plenty of interesting plant stems to be cut from the garden. The common winged burning bush (Euonymus alatus) has interesting stems for display. As is the case for most stems used decoratively, one stem is not enough. Always use multiples in bundles, or randomly incorporated throughout the decoration to provide enough visual weight.
Interesting plant stems can be colourful or textural. For example, twisted willow (Salix matsudana) and the corkscrew hazel (Corylus avellana 'Contorta') both have curly or spirally arranged stems with a unique texture and shape. If you don't have those plants in your garden, you can find them at most florists and garden centres. If none of those plant stems are interesting enough, try spray painting them with any suitable Christmas colour to liven up the display.
Some final suggestions: When cutting natural decorations from the garden use clean, sharp pruning tools, prune judiciously and leave the plant with good form so next year's harvest will be just as bountiful. Remember that whatever you cut from the garden for Christmas decoration is a reflection of your personal taste - there is no right or wrong choice. Your plant choices are right for you and your guests will enjoy the colours of the season. | 2019-04-19T03:19:27 | http://www.jys1688.cn/news/shownews.php?lang=en&id=323 |

This university is a high school for college students; if you are looking for the "college experience," completely disregard this school immediately. I have found the student body to be extremely cliquey like that of a high school. Another terrible aspect of this school is the cost. I am a transfer student on athletic scholarship and am in debt $15,000 after one semester… absolutely ridiculous! The education you get here is absolutely NOT worth what you are spending. In my opinion, CUI is essentially a business scheming students into paying a ridiculous amount of money for an average education.
I would recommend this school if you are religious, naive, close-minded, sheltered, and not fun. If that describes you… choose CUI!
Agreed! It just took me one week to see that Concordia is hell on earth! I can get a better education and experience at any junior college, and that's why I'm transferring out of Concordia. No employers, grad schools, or professional schools are impressed with Concordia.
The education isn't even average. To call the education subpar would be a compliment. I wouldn't wish Concordia on my worst enemy. Concordia is beyond the worst. | 2019-04-25T17:48:55 | https://www.studentsreview.com/viewprofile.php3?k=1415856956&u=149 |
I have a thing for abandoned places. There’s something to be said about the thrill and wonder of walking through them, picturing what they would have looked like before time, death and decay ruined them. Abandoned buildings tell so many stories through their peeling paint and dusty interiors, but we rarely stop to hear them.
On our final day in Dubrovnik, we picked up our hire car and headed East towards the abandoned resort of Kupari. The 16 minute journey offered breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea, before we turned off the motorway, onto a dirt track and navigated our way between derelict buildings and trees the the sea front.
The small village of Kupari is situated just 10 km away from Dubrovnik and is home to every urban-explorers dream ; The Bay of Abandoned Hotels. This abandoned luxury resort first welcomed tourists in 1919, with the opening of the aptly-named Grand Hotel. Situated on the waterfront and surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens, the Grand Hotel hosted tourists in ultimate exclusivity.
That was until the early 60’s, when five more hotels were built on the grounds surrounding the Grand Hotel, and the place was re-imagined as a holiday resort for Yugoslavian military officials and their families. Kupari became so popular among the military elite, welcoming thousands of guests through its hotel doors each month, that an additional Camp was built along the main road leading to the resort to accommodate a further 4,500 guests at a time. Even the Yugoslavian President Josip Broz Tito opted to holiday at Kupari, where he hosted guests in a private villa on the outskirts of the resort where it could be more exclusive (and secure!).
By the 80’s, with the arrival of the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, it was time to put Kupari on the map. The hotels welcomed foreign tourists for the first time in decades and the resort was buzzing with life, showing signs of a promising future.
Alas, it didn’t pan out that way. In the early 90’s, the Yugoslavian onslaught on Dubrovnik during Croatia’s war of independence emptied the hotels of their final guests. A Croatian police force set up base at the resort to protect it, until the Autumn of ’91, when Yugoslavian naval ships targeted the resort from the sea.
Over the months and years that followed, the hotels of Kupari were subjected to shelling, missiles and artillery fire – the scars of which remain very visible up until today. The very same Yugoslavian military officials who had once basked in Kupari’s beauty had all but destroyed it. As a final parting “gift”, the interiors were ransacked, stripped bare of anything of value. From the marble staircases and copper piping to the furniture and fittings, it was wiped clean. Phosphorous bombs torched the hotel interiors and ensured they wouldn’t be hosting guests for a long, long time.
For the past 25+ years, the hotels haven’t welcomed a single paying guest. Today, locals come here for a dip in the gorgeous turquoise sea without the hassle of swarms of tourists and hotel formalities found further along the road in Dubrovnik. The sea is so inviting in Kupari, perhaps even more so set against a backdrop of empty, abandoned buildings.
Unfortunately we only had a couple of hours to spare at Kupari meaning we didn’t get a chance to explore all of the hotels. It was also impossible to access upper floors in most of them thanks to the extensive damaged caused to the staircases and roofing in some of the buildings.
Despite being the oldest of the lot, it was the Grand Hotel that left me speechless. Even today, with chipped paint, broken windows, faded wallpaper and bullet holes puncturing its walls, the hotel still oozes an air of opulence. Its wide-set arches, faded shuttered windows and symmetrical entrances still paint a picture of luxury and class. The marble staircase is long gone, as is much of the roof, allowing sunlight to pour through the building, illuminating every remaining detail.
I believe this may once have been a rather fancy dining room!
At the back of the Grand Hotel you’ll find an over-grown garden and these pretty little balconies.
The Croatian government is keen to restore Kupari to some of its former grandeur and capitalise on its close proximity to Dubrovnik. The resort was recently privatised, and it looks like it’s set for redevelopment in the not-so-distant future. All of the hotels are likely to be demolished, with the exception of the Grand Hotel which has secured a listed status. According to the Dubrovnik Times, the Marriot will be building a luxury hotel on the site.
If you’re into urban exploring I highly recommend a visit to Kupari before it’s gone for good! It’s a short drive away from Dubrovnik – just follow the signs for Kupari. You can park on-site between the hotels or along the shoreline. Don’t forget to take swimming gear so you can enjoy the beach too!
