The cloaca is a common rear opening in land vertebrates. Through this opening, the animals expel urine and faeces, and carry out reproduction. The cloaca is a primitive or 'basal' feature of tetrapods. All amphibia, all sauropsids (reptiles and birds) and even monotreme mammals have a cloaca. A different method is used by therian mammals, such as marsupials and placentals. They have an anus for defecation, and another opening for urine and sexual reproduction.

I may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. :) Click here to go to my disclosure policy. Every three weeks or so I will be working through Parenting: 14 Gospel Principles. I hope you will join me. You can find the rest of the series here. This second chapter is entitled Calling. This chapter starts with this statement “Nothing is more important in your life than being one of God’s tools to form a human soul.” I had to think about that a spell. That’s what Christian parenting is all about. Being used of God in the formation of a new human soul that follows after him. In this chapter he spoke to the issues of parents not actually doing the job of parenting because their work gets in the way. They sent their young off to school or to day care or to whatever because they are unwilling or perhaps not aware of the need to be around for their children. This work can be a paying job or a ministry focus. Gods’ call to leaders is this “lead your family well”. We are asked to look to our lives and see what calls us away from this duty to parent our children well. Our primary purpose is to instill God-consciousness and God-submission in our children. To make them aware of who God is, and he has a calling for each of us. Rules for us to live by. I found this statement interesting “Children who don’t acknowledge God will act as if they are God and will resist the help and rescue that God has provide for them through their parents.” (p 31) I have seen this with my lad. The more aware he becomes of God and who he is, the more he is willing to accede that maybe we, his parents, have something of value to add to the discussion. Things to make him think and ponder upon. It’s part of our job you know? To say “child of mine…this is God. This God of ours is a God filled with grace and wonder and might”. To show him/her where you catch glimpses of God. Most recently for us this has taken place with our study on Otters. God gave them a little flap that goes over their nose, and another in their inner ear that automatically work when they go diving. Not only that, he’s given sea otters a patch of loose skin under their armpit so they can carry a useful rock when they going hunting. Isn’t that simply amazing how God did this for a critter? Lots to consider – I will go back and start at the beginning of this series. I really like the concept of the change in how a child behaves when he recognizes God. It makes a lot of sense! Also, I love the bit about otters. I often feel the same way about God's creations – so marvellous how everything is wonderfully made! I've been enjoying this book. A good read with much to ponder. This chapter definitely creates pause when you think carefully about what God calls parents who love Him to do. And giving that up to God is so hard to do sometimes but what a difference it makes in my ability to be a parent to these precious gifts. Indeed
Gomphotherium is an extinct genus of proboscid which evolved in the lower Miocene of North America. It survived from 13.651.7 million years ago (mya). They spread to Asia, Europe and Africa after a drop in sea level allowed them to cross over. It survived into the Pliocene, and its remains have been found in Chile, china, France, Germany, Austria, Kansas, Tennessee, Pakistan, Kenya and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Gomphotherium stood around high with an estimated weight of 4-5 tons, and looked similar to a modern elephant. However, it had four tusks; two on the upper jaw and two on the long lower jaw. Gomphotherium lived in dry wooded regions near lakes. Feeding method The lower tusks are parallel and shaped like a shovel. They may have been used to dig up food from mud. These animals probably lived in swamps or near lakes, using their tusks to dig or scrape up aquatic vegetation. However, wear patterns on the teeth of its relative Platybelodon suggest that it used its lower tusks to strip bark from trees, and may have used the sharp incisors that formed the edge of the "shovel" more like a modern-day scythe, grasping branches with its trunk and rubbing them against the lower teeth to cut it from a tree. Unlike modern elephants, the upper tusks were covered by a layer of enamel. Compared to elephants, the skull was more elongated and low, indicating that the animal had a short trunk, rather like a tapir's. In comparison to earlier proboscids, Gomphotherium had fewer molars; the remaining ones had high ridges to expand their grinding surface.
From Shopping to Snorkeling: What to Do on a Cabo San Lucas Vacation If you’re planning a Cabo San Lucas vacation, you’re in for a treat. There’s a wealth of things to do, both on land and on sea. If you prefer an urban, cultured vacation, you may spend most of your time exploring boutique shops, tasting local gourmet cuisine, and hitting the bars. If you love excitement and adventure, there’s always parasailing, horseback riding, ATV tours, and more. Here are just a few of many things you can do on a Cabo San Lucas vacation. Water sports. At Cabo San Lucas, there’s no shortage of things to do on the water. If you love adrenaline-pumping excitement, you’ll have a blast parasailing, waterskiing, and jet-skiing. If peaceful and tranquil is more your speed, a yacht trip may be just the thing. And if you love exploring underwater, you won’t want to miss the scuba diving and snorkeling. Whatever your taste, you’re sure to find a water sport to match. Sport fishing. Cabo San Lucas is one of the world’s top vacation destinations for sport fishermen. The area attracts plenty of sailfish, swordfish, tuna, Dorado, and marlin, and there are hundreds of fishing charter companies that will be happy to put a reel in your hand and send you off on an unforgettable fishing trip. If you love fishing, there’s no better place for your next vacation. Golf. Many visitors vacation here purely for the golf. There are eight world-class golf courses between Cabo San Lucas and its neighbor, San Jose del Cabo. Several were designed by famous golf architects such as Robert Trent Jones and Tom Weiskopf. The balmy weather, stunning ocean views, and challenging courses make Cabo San Lucas a vacation haven for golfers. Eco-tours. Love the outdoors? Then you’ll love the stunning landscape of Baja California Sur. From mountain biking to ultra-light plane tours, sea kayaking to jeep safaris, there are plenty of ways to get close to nature on your vacation. Explore the beautiful Baja interior, including estuaries, mountains, and desert terrain. Or experience the oceans through sea kayaking, whale watching, snorkeling, and more. Relax by the beach. The oceans around Cabo San Lucas can be treacherous - many beaches have currents far too strong for swimming. Luckily, the town is near Medano Beach, one of the area’s best safe-swimming beaches. Medano is at the center of the action, lined with bars and shops and thronging with partygoers. If you’d prefer a more tranquil scene, take a water taxi out to Lover’s Beach and enjoy the secluded natural beauty to be found there. Explore the hotel. There are hundreds of luxury hotels in the area, some with so many amenities that it’s possible to spend a day simply exploring all the hotel has to offer. At the Villa La Estancia, for example, guests have access to stunning multi-level pools with waterfalls, Jacuzzis and swim-up bars; a world-class European spa; several gourmet restaurants and bars; private lighted tennis courts; and more. In addition, the condos and villas for rent there often include private balconies, in-suite Jacuzzi tubs, and plasma-screen TV’s. There’s truly something for everyone in Cabo San Lucas. Whether you love the urban nightlife or the rural night sky, the sultry pleasures of the beach or the excitement of outdoor sports, you’re sure to find something to love during your Cabo San Lucas vacation.

Interior Refresh for a Condo The Urban Sanctuary A condo in a former church refreshed to balance a modern feel with industrial materials. Originally a church, this building was converted into townhouses in the 2000s. The 5-story units feature polished concrete floors, single-stringer staircases, and original stained glass windows salvaged from the church. Of course, it’s been nearly two decades since the conversion, so this unit needed a refresh. Our scope was to completely redesign the master bedroom floor, refinish some areas on the main living floors and kitchen, add some casework, and refinish all the bathrooms. The master bedroom level was redesigned to include a large walk-through closet and — most significantly — a fully-operable, folding glass partition that allows the bedroom to easily close off, or open fully, to the rest of the master suite. Clerestory windows allow natural light to reach deep into the space even when the partition is closed. Unlike other units in the building, this one did not feature the exposed brick accent walls that bring some visual warmth to the other units. To make up for it, we created a faux brick wall — carefully detailing it to hide the fact that it’s not actually a wall of brick, but rather applied brick tiles. The brick material is, in fact, clay-fired and hand-laid as real bricks would be; but, each brick is only 3/4” thick, essentially applied as a tile, rather than stacked and mortared. The visual warmth of the brick and its rustic texture offer a balanced respite from the clean lines of the rest of the townhouse. In the kitchen, we added custom, steel light fixtures with an industrial feel over the counter to further balance the crisp modern details with industrial materials. There are also custom details for the non-human residents of the condo, such as the cat-shaped entry hole to a dark napping den under the dining room banquette. Finally, adaptable casework in the study gives the room new functionality. The casework converts from its closed form — which leaves the room with plenty of open space, much like a library or reading room — to a guest room with a pull-down bed, or even a home office.

Catering for Allergies: How Your Business Can Get It Right Post Date: 2018-11-19 According to scientists, the rate of allergies in Singapore is not as alarming as they are in the West. But they exist nonetheless, with shellfish being a common allergy. In the last few years, scientists have noticed a rising trend of peanut allergies amongst Singaporeans. Recently, there was heated debate after a three-year-old boy from Australia suffered an extreme allergic reaction due to peanuts while on board a Singapore Airlines flight. The boy was not served and neither did he eat the peanuts, but was seated next to other passengers who were enjoying the snack. If you are running a restaurant or catering business, you have to handle your hotel supplies, catering equipment, and catering equipment suppliers with allergies in mind. However, dealing with allergies is not just an operational issue, in fact, it can also be a catalyst for more business. Here’s how your business can get it right when catering for allergies. Communicate Communication is the perhaps the most important step in avoiding allergic reactions in your restaurant or catering outlet. Experts say that the best way to handle allergic reactions is by preventing them all together. Source: Pexels This is done not through a passive “polite notice” to your clients but an active interaction with your clients as they walk in. Additionally, discuss with your catering equipment suppliers in Singapore on the type of equipment, how to handle, clean and cater for allergens. Your staff should also all be thoroughly briefed on handling food containing common allergens like shellfish or gluten. Make Adjustments to Your Processes and Catering Equipment As you liaise with your clients, staff and restaurant equipment suppliers, review your processes and catering equipment. Keeping in mind that one doesn’t have to consume the allergen to have an allergic reaction, as was the case of the boy on board the Singapore Airlines flight. So, reach out to the best of Singapore’s restaurant equipment suppliers for recommendations and tips on how to adjust your equipment and catering processes in order to avoid residual allergen contamination. Train Your Staff Source: Unsplash As you make adjustments to your processes and equipment, you will need to give your staff the necessary training. The best of Singapore’s catering equipment suppliers will always include training as part of the deal whenever you purchase or lease equipment. Just make a note to remind the trainer to include allergen handling in their talk. If you have to organise an independent training session, have the trainer come a day prior to the training so as to familiarize themselves with your processes and catering equipment. Go the Extra Mile Staff should inculcate the mindset that catering for food intolerances is not an exception, but an obligation that they have to each client. Make it a daily or hourly practice to check for and avoid allergen contamination in your hotel supplies, and review your performance. Inform Your Customers Catering for allergens is not just another precaution and you can even turn it into a business opportunity. Tell your clients that your staff members are trained to cater for food intolerances. Inform the masses that your food is processed to avoid allergen contamination and that you only use the best catering equipment from reliable Singaporean restaurant equipment suppliers. In this way, you can turn the precautions taken for allergens into a favourable aspect for your

Wisdom same one or two foods. Here are some suggestions regarding what to eat after getting a wisdom tooth removed: Milkshakes: Milkshakes are very easy to consume and are a good choice of diet for immediately after the teeth are extracted. In order to get the right amount of nutrients, you can add a meal replacement powder or packet such as Carnation Instant Breakfast or GNC protein mix. Make sure you don’t use a straw, because this can dislodge the blood clot from its socket. Fruit Smoothies: For a nutritious cold drink, mix some fresh or frozen fruit with some yogurt and ice. If you’re looking to add nutritional value, you can add protein powder or other additives. Again, do not use a straw. Ice cream: For the first couple of days after the procedure, soft serve ice cream is preferable to other types of ice cream. Make sure to avoid cones. The Frostys at Wendy’s and similar desserts are a good idea, especially because they are served with a cup and spoon. Instant Pudding, Yogurt, and Applesauce: Pudding and other soft foods are extremely easy to eat, and it comes in a number of flavors, thus providing variety. If you’re tired of sweet foods, try lemon-flavored pudding or plain yogurt. Mashed Potatoes: Mashed potatoes are very easy to eat, requiring no chewing if they are well-mashed. Because they can be topped with gravy, sour cream, or butter, mashed potatoes can also be a good source of variety in your post-oral-surgery diet. If you get tired of regular mashed potatoes or desire a healthier alternative, you can also consider eating mashed sweet potatoes or cauliflower. Drinks: Most beverages are fine, although you may not be allowed to drink alcohol with your prescribed pain reliever or if you have a post-surgery antibiotic. You should also avoid very cold water, since it can increase pain. Remember not to use a straw! Instant Oatmeal: Instant Oatmeal is fairly easy to eat although oatmeal that has pieces of fruit in it can be chewy. An alternative that is even easier to eat is instant cream of wheat. Pastina: Pastina is a type of noodles that are very small and star-shaped. They are typically sold in a box at grocery store. They taste good with butter, and they are easier to eat than the majority of other noodles. Soup: You should probably wait a few days before eating any soup. While some soups make have chunks of meat or vegetables which are too large, there are some acceptable soups. Two soups that are great to eat during this time are chicken noodle and cream of celery. Make sure they are not too hot, as hot foods can be painful and also impede the clotting process. After the first few days of healing, other foods that you can eat that have more texture but are still easy to consume without much chewing include scrambled eggs, fish, pasta, cottage cheese, and beans. While some foods, such as macaroni and cheese, may seem soft, they can still be hard to eat if they are chewy. A good way to avoid this problem is to overcook pasta until it is very soft. You should also stay away from acidic foods, which may cause stinging in the area(s) where your teeth were extracted. Depending on the severity of your wisdom tooth extraction, you may have a smaller or larger range of foods that you can eat. These tips will help you to maintain a comfortable and varied diet while your mouth is healing.

There are many translations of the Bible in English. People don't agree about what is the "original Bible". Because there are many versions of Greek and Latin Bibles, there are also many versions of the English Bible. Some translations are word-for-word from the original language. These translations are usually difficult to read. Other translations are idea-for-idea. These translations change the ideas of the original Bible into English. Some idea-for-idea translations use very easy English. Literal translations are difficult for some people to understand. But, non-literal translations can change the meaning. "Dynamic Equivalence" means making the Bible easy to read, without changing the meaning. Modern English Bible Versions Christian Translations Most English Bible translations are written from a Christian point of view. The King James Version The Authorized King James Version (KJV) is very popular. Many parts of it are literal (word-for-word) translations of the original Greek and Hebrew. The KJV Bible was produced from 1604 to 1611, as a revision of the Bishops Bible. Since 1600, many English words have changed. Because the KJV Bible is 400 years old, it is more difficult to read. But even though it is 400 years old, many expressions and idioms used in everyday modern English come from the KJV. Since 1611, the first KJV Bible has been changed. The edition usually used today is the 1769 edition. The new versions, which are revisions of the KJV include the Revised Version (1885), the Revised Standard Version (1952), the New Revised Standard Version (1989), and the English Standard Version (2001). Other Translations The New English Bible (1970) - from the United Kingdom. This was a fresh ecumenical translation. Letters to Young Churches (1958) - by John Bertram Phillips. This is a translation of the New Testament Epistles (Letters). The Living Bible (1971) - by Kenneth N Taylor. This is a paraphrase of the American Standard Version (1901). The Good News Bible (1976) - from the American Bible Society. This is one of the most popular Bibles. The New International Bible (1978) - This Bible is between the King James Version (very literal) and the Good News Bible (very informal). The New Living Translation (1996) - a new version of "The Living Bible". On the internet, there are many translations of the Bible. You can read virtual Bibles. If you want to read part of the Bible, you can print that part. This is called "print on demand". Today, there are many translations that are literal, not literal, and between. The Young's Literal Translation is very literal. The Message Bible and The Word on the Street are not literal. Gender Neutral Versions In the Bible, men and women are equal. They just have different roles. Men are supposed to be the dominant figures in society. Some new translations weaken male dominance. These translations are called feminist, gender neutral, or gender accurate. Some gender-neutral translations are: the New Revised Standard Version (1989), the Revised English Bible (1989), Today's New International Version (2005), New International Version (2011). The English Standard Version (2001) also tries to be more equal. Simplified English Bibles Many people have written simpler Bibles. These Bibles use few words. Some are written for non-native speakers of English. World English Bible The World English Bible is a version of the Bible written in modern English. It began in 1997 and was a revision of the American Standard Version 1997. The project began with the goal of producing an English-language version of the Bible that does not use older English nor Basic English. It is based on the 1901 American Standard Version, the Greek Majority Text, and the Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia with some minor changes made because of alternative readings in the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint but these alternative readings are ignored or restricted to the footnotes. There are seven passes of editing and reading for each book. The first pass updated about 1,000 words, phrases and grammatical constructs. The first manual pass was to add quotation marks and other punctuation, and to check the version against the Greek and Hebrew texts where there are large textual variants or the meaning is not clear. Jewish Translations Sometimes Jews and Christians do not agree on how to translate the Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh. Jews have written translations that follow Jewish opinions. These include: Jewish Publication Society of America Version (JPS)(1917) -- based on the Revised Version and American Standard Version (see above), but changed to follow Jewish opinions Judaica Press (1963) New Jewish Publication Society of America Version (NJPS)(1985) -- a new translation, not based on JPS 1917 ArtScroll Stone Edition (1996) Many Jewish Bible translations show the English and original Hebrew on facing pages. None of these translations is considered Simple English or Basic English. Related pages Bible translations - for a view of translation into languages other than English. Bible version debate

Fighters from Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement together with members of the allied popular resistance. Several military equipment and vehicles were destroyed in the operation. Meanwhile, according to the Press TV correspondent in Yemen on Tuesday, the Yemeni tribesmen supported by the army have attacked the strategic King Khalid Air Base in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the city of Khamis Mushait. The Yemeni army and the popular units have also scored major gains against al-Qaeda terrorists in the central Ma’rib Province. The Yemeni forces are also taking positions in region which will enable them to defeat the remnant of the Takfiri group in future. The development comes as the Yemeni fighters and army allies on Monday attacked a Saudi military base near the border area of Tuwayliq in Sa’ada Province. This is the latest in a series of attacks by Ansarullah as well as tribal forces against Saudi border positions over the past few weeks. The Yemeni army, backed by popular committee forces, also on Monday destroyed four Saudi tanks after storming a base in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern city of Jizan. A Yemeni boy stands amidst the rubble of houses destroyed by a Saudi airstrike on a residential area last month, in the capital Sana’a on May 18, 2015. (© AFP) Yemenis say the attacks are in retaliation for Saudi airstrikes that have continued unabated for two months now. Saudi warplanes continue pounding Yemen, targeting several areas across the impoverished Arab nation. Saudi airstrikes Meanwhile, at least nine people were killed in the early hours of Tuesday in a Saudi airstrike on the Jabal Sabir district of the southwestern province of Ta’izz. On Monday, airstrikes hit the southern city of Aden as well as the provinces of Sa’ada and Hajjah. According to the UN, since March, nearly 2,000 people have been killed and 7,330 injured due to the conflict in Yemen. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says the Saudi aggression against Yemen has claimed the lives of more than 130 children over the past two months. “Since the conflict escalated in March, as many as 135 children have been killed and 260 injured,” the UNICEF said in a statement on Sunday. The UN body said that one-third of the deaths occurred in Yemen’s southern coastal city of Aden that has been hit by violent clashes over the past few days.

So............... I didn't get here last week, did I? I had good intentions, but a funny thing happened. We did get a Superior, all right, and we also got a new Council. Our Council is a group of 5 brothers who are elected to be a support for the Superior and to offer advice. Their consent is required for the Superior's appointments and a number of his other actions (one of our former Superiors claimed that the only thing he could do without the Council's permission was to name a new monastery). I wasn't expecting it at all, but I ended up being elected to the Council - it's been more than 20 years since I've been on the Council - and not only was I elected but I also became the Secretary. Thus ended any free time for writing a blog, because there were Priors and other officers to appoint and finances to discuss and many other things. And now that I'm here I should stop the introduction and say that we do have a Superior, who is, just in case you haven't heard, Br Robert Sevensky. Robert has most recently been the Prior of Mt Calvary Monastery in Santa Barbara, but he is very well known to people around here, having been at this monastery for a number of years before he went west. Robert is a native of the northeast, from Scranton, Pennsylvania, and besides his service to the Order for many years, he is the first Superior to hold an earned doctorate. He is the second superior of the Order who is not ordained (Br William Sibley was the first). He was elected on the first ballot, so the process ended up being both impressive and tolerable. He was elected by a large majority, so the community is pretty happy. He will be moving here in the early fall. Two things happened to me in the course of the election which I thought I would share. One of them occurred during the balloting. As I mentioned in my last post, we vote one by one, in order of seniority. I get to vote pretty early in the process because I've been in the Order for a long time. So I was back in my stall in Choir and was just watching the brothers go to the side chapel and then to the altar with their ballots and come back down the aisle before the next one went. As one of the brethren came back down from the altar and made his way to his stall, I all of a sudden knew that we had an election. It wasn't something I guessed at or wondered about. I wasn't counting who was likely to be voting for whom, nor was I even aware of just how many brethren had voted. It was sudden and it came out of nowhere and I knew we had elected the superior. It wasn't spooky or even uplifting or joyful or anything like that; it was just knowing. I told myself, as I always do when something like this happens: "Well, that's nice, but we need to see how the election comes out - you never know about these things." But I still knew. As it turns out, given the majority by which the Superior was elected, I had in fact, probably come close to intuiting the ballot which actually elected him. No matter, that's just how it happened. When the voting was complete we waited for two of the junior monks to count the ballots, which takes quite a while, given the care they need to take. And as we sat there waiting I had, once again very suddenly, one of the most powerful experiences of the presence of the Holy Spirit that I have ever had. I can only describe it as "weighty". It was like having a Mack Truck drive through the Church. There wasn't anything subtle about it. It was just like it says in Acts, "a mighty wind, which filled the whole place where they were sitting." The Holy Ghost, the Comforter, was the principal thing that was real in our Church at that moment. It was both unexpected and unmistakable. Well, that's what happened to me. I'm not feeling the need to have evaluations or analysis, at least at this point. But I do want to say that I think that these intuitive experiences are far more common that we often think. Manifestations of the spiritual part of our being are both real and perfectly natural, and my own belief is that they happen to most people. But living as we do in a society that values the rational over everything else, I think that lots of people completely miss these things when they happen, and those people who do notice them are usually reluctant to talk about them. After all they aren't "normal" (by which we mean rational). But they are, in fact, perfectly normal. These things happen to people, lots of people. But so often they are missed or we hide them. These little explosions of the Spiritual into our daily consciousness are, in my view, just part of what it means to be a human being. They don't make me holy and they aren't an indication that I'm special. They are just what happens because I have a spiritual part to my humanity, as every other human being does. I've learned both from the Christian tradition and from my experience that you have to be very careful about claiming anything about these happenings or making predictions based on them or telling people what they should be doing because of them. Mostly they're not for that. They are usually just moments when the veil is drawn aside and we see more of reality than we are usually open to. After all, the Holy Spirit is with us all the time, not just during the counting of ballots at an election. I just happened to realize this at one particular moment. What should I do about it? I should be thankful. I should rejoice in this very nice gift that I've been given. I should be grateful for having had a moment when I became more aware of the fullness of who I am. And then I should get about the business of writing my blog, and finishing my correspondence and loving my neighbor and doing the laundry. I should work at being a Christian and a human being. That's what these things are for. And that's enough. And, oh yes, I should also tell those of you who don't know, that I have been reappointed as the Prior here for another term, so there will be more blog postings, God willing.

Our football match prediction: City Arena Trnava will host Saturday’s football game between Slovakia and Czech Republic. Slovakia suffered a 1-0 loss to Ukraine in their UEFA Nations League opener, but they are definitely capable of grabbing something from the clash against neighbours. A man to watch in Jan Kozak’s team will be Marek Hamsik, who is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition back-line. Following a 2-1 loss to Ukraine in their UEFA Nations League opener, Czech Republic suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Russia in a friendly game, meaning that they are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Trnava. The Czechs obviously struggle at the back, therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Slovakia’s party at City Arena Trnava. You should bear in mind that Slovakia recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Czech Republic in their last meeting on the international stage. Highlighted Player (Patrik Hrosovsky):. Highlighted Team (Czech Republic): Czech Republic national team is the natural successor of the Czechoslovakia side that dominated world football during the 20th century, winning one European Championship trophy and coming second at 1934 and 1962 World Cups. After the separation of the country in 1992, Czech Republic continued the proud tradition by qualifying for each of the next six European Championship finals, losing to Germany in the final of the 1996 tournament. The Czechs also reached the last eight at the 2012 finals, but their World Cup record of late is pretty disappointing. Since separating from Slovakia, Czech Republic only qualified for one of five World Cup finals. The 1996 generation, featuring players like Pavel Nedved, Karel Poborsky and Patrik Berger, will forever remained etched in the fans’ memory, while the likes of Milan Baros, Jan Koller, Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky are some of the other notable footballers. Highly rated goalkeeper Petr Cech is the team’s most capped player, whereas towering forward Jan Koller tops the goalscoring charts with 55 strikes in 91 games.

There is nothing greater than that sense of nostalgia of being part of a sports team and playing out in the summer sun. Or so I have been told. I am the only person to be benched on a tee-ball team due to a poor batting average. The temperature is rising and the sun is out later and all we can think about is taking advantage of this Houston weather. And what better time to join a LGBT sports league in Houston to expand your social circle. And if sports still aren’t your thing, going to the games is a great way to hang out and to see athletic men hot and sweaty. And there isn’t anything wrong with that. America’s Finest Kickball League We all remember playing kickball as kids and this LGBT league brings back those memories. Their first meeting is on May 20th.

Religious beliefs in Poland are currently determined by the previous events, especially 966 Baptism of Poland, which put Poland among Christian countries of Europe. Poland was baptised through the Czechs and not through another countries, what caused that the country is currently mostly Catholic. Christianity About 90% of people in Poland are Christians. 87% of population identify themselves as Roman Catholics. In Poland lives about 0.5 milion Orthodox people, which are mostly members of Polish Orthodox Church. There are also some Protestant groups estimated to be about 200-300 thousand believers, especially Evangelical Church in Poland. Poland was baptised in 966 by Mieszko I, the prince of Poland (died 992). There were some political issues that led the country to abandon Slavic beliefs. Catholic Church Catholics in Poland are a group of people that contains two subgroups: Roman Catholic Church Greek Catholic Church. The second one was established in Poland in the 17th century between some groups of Orthodox people and Roman Catholic Church. The most important pilgrimage destinations in the country are: Jasna Gora in Czestochowa and Lichen. A lot of saints and blessed of the Roman Catholic Church are Poles, for example Pope John Paul II and Jerzy Popieluszko. Judaism Until WWII Poland was the second-largest place for Jews to live. There were about 6 milion Jews. Nowadays in the country live ca. 10000 Jewish people. The rest of them were killed during Holocaust or emigrated in a period of antisemitism after World War II. The majority of Jews lives in big cities like Warsaw, Krakow or Lodz. Jews have been living in Poland for more than a thousand years. Islam In Poland there are some Muslim groups with population estimated to be about 10000 believers. There are several mosques in Poland, the oldest in Bohoniki and Kruszyniany. Muslims have been living in Poland for over 600 years, especially in Podlasie. Poland Polish culture

A neutron star is a very small and dense star made almost completely of neutrons. They are small stars with a radius of about 1111.5 kilometres. They have a mass of about twice that of the Sun. They are the smallest and densest stars known to exist in the Universe. They are what is left of a huge star which exploded as a supernova. The density of the star is like that of the nucleus of an atom. They have strong magnetic fields, between 108 and 1015 times as strong as that of Earth. The gravitational field at the neutron star's surface is about 2x1011 times stronger than on Earth. To imagine how dense a neutron star is, take all of the mass of our sun (which has a diameter of ) and push it down into a size that would fit into a ball with a diameter. Another way to understand the density is this: one teaspoon of matter from the neutron star would weigh 6 billion tons. Neutron stars spin very fast, from 0.001 second up to 30 seconds to turn. They come in different types. They may emit beams of electromagnetic radiation as pulsars. Other types are magnetars and binary pulsars. They are more than 600,000 degrees Kelvin in temperature. Neutron stars that can be observed are very hot and typically have a surface temperature of around . History In 1934, Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky proposed the existence of neutron stars, only a year after the discovery of the neutron by James Chadwick. Looking for the origin of a supernova, they suggested that in supernova explosions ordinary stars are turned into stars that consist of extremely closely packed neutrons, which they called neutron stars. Baade and Zwicky suggested that the release of the gravitational binding energy of the neutron stars powers the supernova: "In the supernova process, mass in bulk is annihilated". Neutron stars were thought to be too faint to be detectable. Little work was done on them until November 1967, when Franco Pacini (1939-2012) pointed out that if the neutron stars were spinning and had large magnetic fields, then electromagnetic waves would be emitted. Radio astronomer Antony Hewish and his research assistant Jocelyn Bell at Cambridge soon detected radio pulses from stars that are now known as pulsars.

An IATA airport code, is a three-letter code that can be used to identify airports. This removes the need to write the name of the airport in full every time it is needed, instead an IATA code can be used. An important use of these codes is on baggage tags. They will display the IATA code for the airport which the bags should be heading to, should they get lost.
While pugs are generally a playful, spirited breed, their bodies aren't exactly equipped for harsh elements. They face problems breathing and maintaining a comfortable body temperature, in both extreme heat and extreme cold. When winter rolls around, squeezing your pug into a sweater helps her tackle the chill outside. A Life Indoors Pugs have long been bred as companion dogs. This means that unlike, say, a Siberian husky that thrives in cold temperatures, a pug is much happier curled up on a pillow inside. Of course, that doesn't mean that she never wants to go exploring, or that she doesn't have to go out a few times a day to do her business. What it does mean, though, is that she isn't genetically advantaged for dealing with the cold, and that's where sweaters come in. Sweaters Are Better If you wonder whether your pug needs a sweater, the answer is a resounding "yes." Pugs are small dogs with short hair and respiratory problems, making them the ideal candidate for bundling up before going out in the cold. Sweaters typically have short sleeves so that your pug can move about more easily, and they should cover her naked stomach to keep it warm. Snug sweaters are better than baggy ones, so show off her natural curves with something that hugs her frame. Beating the Heat While pugs can get too cold in frigid temperatures, they can also get too hot in warm temperatures. Switching back and forth between the two, like going from an outdoor walk to a toasty living room, can make her body struggle to strike a balance. Obese pugs have an especially difficult time fighting overheating, so once you're back in a warm area, feel free to peel that sweater back off. Medical Concerns Pugs are susceptible to arthritic joints, which can be worsened by cold weather. When that's the case, keeping her warm is even more important than it is with other pugs, so keep her in a sweater.

Usually, E3 is where all the best stuff gets announced for gamers, but this year, developers, publishers and platform holders went huge in Cologne, Germany for Gamescom. It truly is a great time to be a gamer! Rise of the Tomb Raider Only On Xbox One, At Least Temporarily We’ve seen a lot of video game reboots over the years The Best Video Game Reboots In Recent Video History [MUO Gaming] The Best Video Game Reboots In Recent Video History [MUO Gaming] Often, video game franchises will attempt a reboot. Essentially, this means they take an established franchise and move it in a new direction. Whether it be a major shakeup to the main character, a dramatic... Read More , but few have seen the level of success that Tomb Raider did. Sure, Square Enix has said that it wasn’t happy with the sales numbers, but critics loved it, and the Xbox One and PS4 re-release served as a reminder of just how great the game was. Now, the sequel – aptly named Rise of the Tomb Raider – is announced, but it’s not coming to the PS4, at least not right away. At the Microsoft press conference, the company announced that it had reached an agreement with Square Enix to bring the game exclusively to Xbox One. Of course, this left a lot of gamers upset, and Microsoft, in typical fashion, changed its tune announcing that it’s just a timed deal, and that it will be released for other platforms at a later date. Anger aside, we’re excited to see that franchise continuing, whether its an Xbox One exclusive, or available everywhere. If the team builds on the quality of the last game, we fully expect this one to be great. So let’s all come together, get over our hate for exclusives, and just be excited that this game is coming! Shockingly Generic Name, but Awesome Looking Game: Hellblade Before I jump into what Hellblade is, let me ask this: How was this name available? It’s so generic I find it hard to believe that a game named Hellblade never came out. This is the next game from Ninja Theory, the crew responsible for the fantastic Devil May Cry reboot, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and Heavenly Sword (Heavenly Sword and Hellblade, I see a pattern here). While not a sequel, Hellblade shares some serious similarities. Both characters use a special sword and/or blade to take out enemies in intense combo-focused combat. Apart from that, we don’t know much about the game. Ninja Theory has only been working on it for a few months, but just the pedigree of the developer, and the fact that this is a game that fits right into what the team is best at, makes me very excited to play it whenever it actually comes out. It’s coming to PS4 first, but we will see this beauty on Xbox One and PC later. WiLD Is Looking Like It Could Be Crazy Cool This game really received a lot of attention from fans during Sony’s press conference. The reason for the hype is the name attached to game – Michel Ancel, the creator of Rayman and Beyond Good and Evil is at the helm of this one along with his studio Wild Sheep. Basically, the game is following the trend of the sandbox, choose your own adventure survival that we are seeing so much, but it’s doing it with some pretty serious twists that change up the formula. To start with, they are promising a dynamic world the size of Europe. I feel like we need a little more explanation about that, because I don’t know if you’ve seen it on a map, but Europe is huge. They are also promising changing weather and seasons to keep the world feeling fresh and exciting. However, the really interesting part of the game is the fact that all of the animals in the world are playable, meaning you can be a wolf, bunny, sheep or anything. If this promise is fulfilled, this could essentially be a game of infinite possibilities. It’s a PS4 exclusive too, so fans of the Sony platform could be in for a treat. Hideo Kojima Is Working On A New Silent Hill – And There’s Already A Playable Teaser There is so much to be excited about, that I could almost write a full article just about this. First, we find out that Hideo Kojima, the person behind Metal Gear , is going to bring his special brand of insanity to the beloved horror franchise known as Silent Hill. If that was all that came from this announcement, I would already be blown away, but there’s more. Guillermo del Toro, the man behind Hellboy, Pans Labyrinth, and plenty of other fantastic movies, is also lending his hand to the project. I am going to sound like an infomercial here, but wait there’s more: Norman Reedus, the actor who plays Daryl on The Walking Dead, is the main character. You’d think a simple trailer (which they did show) and all of this news would be enough, but they took a step further, releasing a short, playable teaser to give gamers a tiny feel of what it would be like. Sure, many aspects of the teaser are different from the final game, but still, instead of some CD trailer that tells you nothing, they actually put something in the hands of gamers. For horror fans, it’s literally impossible not to be excited about this one. Too bad we will likely have to wait until 2016 to play it. The Convention May Be Over, But The Excitement Lives On Sure, Gamescom may have come and gone, but I couldn’t be more fired up for some of these games that are coming. I think Silent Hill stole the show, but each of these games brought their own special bit. Of course, these games weren’t all that was announced, and for that we turn to you; what was your favorite announcement at Gamescom 2014? Hit the comments section below and let us know! Joro V.... Since your job is so great why do u want to share it .. keep it for yourself ... Joro V you are a douchebag. Get back to work and shut the hell up.

When regulators grant changes to utility rates of return, they estimate growth on the basis of gross domestic product (GDP). But do utilities have any chance of growing at the same pace as GDP?... Federal Interconnection Standards: Putting DG in a Box Is FERC overstepping its jurisdiction and attempting to force a standard into a one-size-fits-all category? Few industry stakeholders would argue the benefits of clear, concise universal standards for interconnecting distributed generation (DG) to electric utility grids. In fact, since PURPA (the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act) was adopted in 1978 to promote alternative energy sources and diversify the electric power industry, numerous qualifying facilities (QFs) have been successfully integrated into utility grids by adhering to rules mandated by FERC and state commissions. Many of these QFs are interconnected directly to transmission grids, where FERC's jurisdiction falls squarely within Order 888. However, FERC has raised its jurisdictional bar to establish rules for interconnecting small DG facilities of 20 MW or less-including distribution previously in the domain of state regulators. Despite the benefits of uniformity and consistency that a national standard for DG interconnections would provide, FERC's approach may have several potential shortcomings: - Little federal applicability. The vast majority of small DG facilities will interconnect at distribution voltages serving on-site customer loads for which states clearly have jurisdiction. - Duplication of efforts. A universal DG standard applied by the federal government will duplicate and potentially undermine successful efforts already undertaken in states such as Texas, New York, and California, irritate state regulators, and cause confusion among DG providers and utilities alike. These efforts took months, and FERC has learned the difficulty of reaching consensus on interconnection standards. Too many players with divergent goals can cause the process to bog down into a hopeless myriad of details. - Difficulty in implementation. States have greater flexibility than FERC to ensure that standards are consistent with state policy and utility regulations, and they also are in a better position to address any disputes that require interpretation and implementation of interconnection rules. When FERC issued its April 2002 notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) on standardized interconnection agreements (IA) for generators of all sizes, DG suppliers immediately understood its significance. They seized the opportunity to capitalize on FERC's support of small DG as an economically competitive alternative to traditional central supply and delivery options. 1 However, DG supporters want a simplified, expedited application review and approval process for generators under 20 MW, for all but the most complex interconnections. DG supporters argue-with apparent justification in some cases-that utilities will stifle integration of small, low-cost generators into their grid. Sympathetic to DG concerns, FERC agreed to address rules for DG by opening a small generator interconnection advanced NOPR (ANOPR) (August 2002) and establishing a coalition composed of utilities, a Small Generator Coalition (SGC), and NARUC to streamline application processes and procedures for DG less than 2 MW and for DG between 2 MW and 20 MW via consensus agreement. At first, it appeared that FERC might quickly develop simplified and universal interconnection standards that would address SGC and utility concerns alike. FERC pointed to recent agreements crafted by PJM and ERCOT as models that DG advocates, utilities, and many states supported to justify that such an approach could be applied universally. FERC brushed aside jurisdictional objections by reminding commenting parties that it

Twelve militants on Sunday surrendered with arms before Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam [Images] Nabi Azad in the newly created Ramban district of Jammu region. Among the dozen militants that laid down their arms before the chief minister, 10 were operating in the general area of Gool in Ramban district while two operated in the Kellar area of Pulwama district in Kashmir, according to an official spokesman in Srinagar [Images]. The development is seen as a severe setback to militants and is bound to instill confidence in the minds of the people in the concerned areas. "Three militants namely Manzoor Ahmad alias Furqan Ali, Mumtaz Ali alias Asif Rahi and Abdul Qayoom alias Imran Khan [Images] were the longest surviving and the most dreaded militants active for more than a decade and served as the main source of motivation in the militant cadres, keeping militant activities simmering in the area between Banihal to Reasi which is likely to become substantially quiet now," the spokesman added. Speaking on the occasion, Azad said that the "surrender of militants was the result of confidence building measures taken jointly by the Central and the state governments to restore peace in Jammu and Kashmir [Images]." He said during the past 19 years as many as 4,000 militants had surrendered before the authorities. The chief minister said militants were "increasingly realising the futility of violence and wanted to abdicate the path of terror and join back the national mainstream." He said situation in the state was fast returning to normal and cited the laying down of arms by militants as an indication of this. The chief minister urged the parents of militants, still holding arms, to persuade their children to return to the path of peace and contribute to the development of the state. "The past two decades of militancy have left Jammu and Kashmir far behind in matters of progress and development," Azad said. He said he was hopeful that the agenda of peace and development pursued by his government would encourage more youth to shun violence and return to the mainstream. The chief minister said, the "militants were also realising that the country that pushed them into Jammu and Kashmir for carrying out acts of terrorism was itself on the crossroads today." "They have understood that their lives were ruined for no rhyme or reason besides bringing about death and destruction across Kashmir," Azad added. This realisation, he said, was motivating them to rethink about their activities.

Fulk IV (1043-1109), called le Rechin, was a French nobleman who was the Count of Anjou from 1068 until he was deposed in 1096. He rebelled against his older brother Geoffrey III and took the countship of Anjou by force. Early career Fulk, born 1043, was the younger son of Geoffrey II, Count of Gatinais and Ermengarde-Blanche of Anjou. Ermengarde-Blanche was a daughter of Fulk Nerra, count of Anjou, When Geoffrey Martel died without direct heirs he left Anjou to his nephew Geoffrey III, Fulk le Rechin's older brother. Geoffrey III was not an effective count. In 1062 Geoffrey failed to defend Saintonge and it was lost. In 1063 the county of Maine was lost to Anjou. In 1065 Geoffrey angered Archbishop Barthelemy of Tours and was excommunicated. Count of Anjou Fulk had enough and took the countship of Anjou by force. He fought with his brother and captured him in 1067. Under pressure from the Church he released Geoffrey. The two brothers started fighting again. This time Geoffrey was imprisoned for the rest of his life. Substantial territory was lost to Angevin control because of Geoffrey's poor rule and the civil war that followed. Fulk was forced to give the Gatinais to Philip I of France the king. Fulk spent the rest of his reign as count trying to regain control of his barons and all the lost lands. He also struggled with Normandy trying to regain control in Maine and Brittany. Author of the History of Anjou In 1096 Fulk wrote a history of Anjou and its rulers titled Fragmentum historiae Andegavensis or "History of Anjou." Only the first part of the history still exists. It describes Fulk's ancestry. The second part was thought to cover Fulk's own rule. This part has not been found. If he did write it, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman. Family Fulk appears to have been married as many as five times. His first wife was Hildegarde of Beaugency. Together they had a daughter: Ermengarde, who married firstly William IX, count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine. She married secondly Alan IV, Duke of Brittany. Fulk then married Ermengarde of Bourbon in 1070. Together they had a son: Geoffrey IV "Martel", Count of Anjou. He ruled jointly with his father for some time, but died in 1106. he married Orengarde de Chatellailon. He next married an unnamed daughter of Walter I of Brienne. This marriage also ended in divorce, in 1087. they had no children. In 1089 he married Bertrade de Montfort. They had a son: Fulk V "le June", Count of Anjou and King of Jerusalem. Notes
My insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield) has a separate $1000 deductible for pregnancy. So far I have only paid $122.67. Through the pregnancy I would have paid that, and then I would have then paid 20% of all costs. The hospital called to confirm my d & c and let me know that since I haven’t met my pregnancy plan deductible I will owe them $877.33 tomorrow. You see, this d & c, -you know, the thing I have to have done to have my baby removed from my body, yeah, that thing is part of the “pregnancy package”. How can this be considered part of that? How terrible. I didn’t want my pregnancy to end this way. I guess it’s the way the insurance company is trying to suggest that I sit at home and wait to miscarry. I don’t understand how they can do this. Not only is it insensitive, it’s just horrible. What kind of people build that into a plan? I could see this being part of a surgical deductible or something, but to say it’s part of the pregnancy plan. It just makes me sick. I remember a friend telling me about that when she miscarried. It blew my mind. It’s just wrong.

Not only do the gardens offer beautiful landscaping and architecture, they also contain the marvelous 12-acre Heartland Harvest Garden consisting entirely of edible plants. It doesn't get much more eco-friendly than growing your own food, especially if you grow the food organically as Powell is attempting to do. You'll be sure to discover or rediscover beautiful and delicious plants to grow in your garden, balcony or other outdoor space. (Did you realize, for instance, that chives get beautiful - and edible - purple flowers?) I was excited to recently discover a website called Neighborhood Fruit that helps you locate public fruit trees. Apparently some cities have recently started planting fruit trees so that their landscaping provides not just shade and beauty, but also food. Did you know that you can find public juneberry, mulberry, hawthorn and peach trees in New York City? (Yes, apparently hawthorn trees have edible berries.) The site also tries to match people who have excess fruit on their private fruit trees with people who would like access to the fruit. The site does require registration, but it seems free to use. Make sure to read the FAQ to familiarize yourself with how it all works. Seems like a brilliant idea! (Not many private fruit tree owners seem to have registered their trees, however. The closest free neighborhood fruit I could find to Nashville, TN was in California!!) If you'd like to grow your own edible shrubs, here's a great resource from Plants For a Future!

To celebrate the relaunch of 1GreenProduct.com, I would like to introduce you to the PowerGenix NiZn (nickel zinc) rechargeable batteries. Both rechargeable and recyclable, PowerGenix claims that its batteries will last longer than other rechargeable batteries, basically offering the same amount of power as traditional disposable alkaline batteries while reducing landfill waste. PowerGenix has also produced a handy chart showing the relative benefits of its batteries over other rechargeable options. Basically PowerGenix claims its batteries are safer, more powerful and offer more power while recharging more quickly. Where to Buy: Amazon.com sells a 4-pack of the PowerGenix batteries with a 1-hour quick charger for $22.71. Disclaimer - PowerGenix gave me a pack of batteries to review. Unfortunately, after receiving the batteries, I realized that I do not possess any suitable electronics that run off AA battery power, which is why this review does not include a hands-on testing component. Sorry about that. If I am able to test the batteries in the field at a later date, I will update this post to reflect my first-person experiences.

Travelcard Zone 6 is the sixth outward concentric zone of the Transport for London zonal system used for calculating co-ordinated inter-modal Travelcard fares within Greater London. In this zonal system, Greater London is split into six (approximately concentric) zones for the purpose of determining the cost of a Travelcard. The zones are also used for pricing London Underground and Docklands Light Railway single journeys, but not single journeys undertaken entirely by bus or tram, for which a system-wide flat fare applies.

Hien Vuong - Great lunch, Fascinating Company. Superb choice. My friend chose Fried Rice with Barbecue Pork and Chinese Sausage, and I chose something (#67 was the only way I could pronounce it) with crispy fried noodles and chicken. Hers looked good, but I know mine was better. Lots of crispy noodles, plenty of tasty chicken chunks, a nice sauce, and perfectly done chinese cabbage. Then I grabbed the bottle of home-made pepper sauce and made a few bites hotter than a Kansas City chemical factory. Beat me, hurt me, make me write bad checks. That was some good eats. This is a tiny little shop - probably around a dozen people gathered to eat there. But it was a who's who of Kansas City. First was super divorce lawyer Barbara Hecht, who I haven't seen in years. Then came in Gonemild's favorite Jackson County legislator, Scott Burnett. Then there was the former proprietor of much-missed Waldeaux Wines and Liquors. Finally, the subject of Matt Bartle's 17-hour hissy fit, none other than Warren Erdmann. All that, and Kansas City's most urban blogger. Quite a crowd for a small restaurant. So, where do you go to see Kansas City's famous and infamous? Labels: restaurants 3 Comments: I'm glad you enjoyed it. However, I'm a little scared that I might not be able to get a table next time after this kind of press. We always go for dinner and there's nobody of public note there. Usually a couple in their 20s and a Vietnamese family. I love the Seafood combination special, the pork chop with egg cake and the crispy shrimp appetizer. Wow. I obviously need to adjust my Hien Vuong timing. Did you try the fried sweet potato with shrimp? It's fantasmic...

Wells is a city in Faribault County, Minnesota, United States. According to the 2010 census, there were 2,343 people living there.
I strongly support choice, partly because Ed and I had sufficient income to exercise choice by, first, moving to a district we couldn't afford* (because we thought affluent suburbs had private school education at public school prices)** and, second, withdrawing our 'neurotypical' son from our public school and enrolling him in a Jesuit high school. Choice number 2 was the best money we ever spent. As a simple matter of fairness, I believe that if we had choice, other parents should have choice, too. How school choice would turn out is another question, and I certainly agree with froggiemama that the prospect of public schools taking the path colleges and universities have taken (more, more amenities) gives me the willies. On the other hand, we do have evidence from other Western countries that I think should be part of the conversation. We also have evidence from Project Follow-Through, in which low-income parents chose Direct Instruction over progressive education (must rustle up the link - sorry it's not here). My two favorite what-do-parents-want stories: In any event, it's definitely the case that a number of Western countries fund parochial schools (or fund parents who want to send their children to parochial schools). Also germane to the discussion: Andrew Cuomo is supporting tax credits for school choice. In his fifth State of the State speech, the governor also called for an education tax credit for donations to public schools or scholarship funds that aid students in parochial schools, a top priority of Timothy Cardinal Dolan.I'm ambivalent about Governor Cuomo, but he does seem like a pretty savvy political operator: Cuomo proposes sweeping education changes While the bill is supported by some 20 unions, who say that it would help the children of their members, the New York State teachers’ union staunchly opposes it, calling it a backdoor voucher program that directs tax dollars to private schools.* Almost sufficient income Cuomo’s Education Agenda Sets Battle Lines With Teachers’ Unions ** Reality turned out to be exactly the opposite: public school education at private school prices. 29 comments: School choice did not work out well for Sweden. Their test scores, especially in math, have been in free fall. "Sweden's education minister, Jan Björklund, said the Pisa results were "the final nail in the coffin for the old school reform," and speculated that the central government could take over running schools from Sweden's municipalities." How can choice ever be overall worse that what we have now? Do you expect a win-win-win situation with choice? Does choice have higher expectations than our current schools? What, exactly, defines choice? I don't want choice. I didn't want the choice to be able to drive my son 45 minutes to a school in another town. I wanted him to be part of our community. Local public schools have the home court advantage, but still, many parents are desperate to get their kids into charter schools. Choice isn't going to immediately solve the fuzzy ideas being taught in ed schools. When you go to another school of your choice, it's likely to be an Everyday Math school, but that doesn't mean that choice won't work. In fact it will work right now for many kids. In other cases, there won't be any real choice or it might take a long time. Choice may not work if it's not real choice. Our state educational hierarchy has to approve all charters and they won't approve charters that attract better students by setting higher expectations. There is real choice and there is pseudo-choice. This is not about whether charter schools are somehow overall better than regular public schools. You have to look at each child individually. Did they make the right choice? And who gets to make that decision? As it is now, many educators are fighting tooth and nail against desperate urban parents who are trying to get their kids into charter schools. They can tell if school 'B' is better for their child than school 'A'. Many students who stay in the regular schools get help at home or with tutors. There are no higher expectation charter school choices in our area, so all of the best students stay in the public schools. Then people point to choice as a failure. No. The problem is that there are not the right kinds of choices. This is not whether no-choice is somehow ever better than choice, but whether any politically created system of choice can work. If real choice came to our area, my view is that it wouldn't affect our high school much, but our lower grades would lose a lot of students. "He (Cuomo) proposed increasing the number of charter schools allowed statewide to 560 from 460, removing special restrictions placed on New York City." Only one hundred more in all of New York? Real choice would not set any limits. Who gets to approve which charters are accepted? What restrictions are placed on the charters? Choice as it is now is not full choice, and opponents of choice want to stop it before it can get there - no matter what individual parents want. Just a comment on your Holland link, which I hadn't read before. I went to gymnasium in Germany as a kid. In Germany, at least, gymnasium is NOT Latin/Greek based. Instead, it is the college track. Parents don't "choose" to send their kids to gymnasium. Kids are tested (in Germany at 4th grade) and tracked into gymnasium. And in Germany at least, you don't go to college unless you went to gymnasium first. OK, so I looked it up on Dr Wikipedia. In Holland, kids are tested and tracked at age 12. The college track is the VWO, and you can choose between athenaium and gymnasium. You are right, gymnasium adds Latin and Greek - but most families would not have access to this since the kid would first have had to have tested into the VWO track. Also, for some context, most Dutch kids have learned 2 modern languages (typically English and German, but in Curacao it is English and Spanish) before hitting this level. It sounds like HOlland, like Germany and the France of my teen years, is a heavilly tracked system Steve, I don't think you understand the NY context. We have strong local control here, and microdistricts. Outside of the big cities, who would host these charter schools? Most districts are too small. There is no provision for state run schools here. So one can imagine charter schools in Buffalo, Yonkers, and Rochester. But Scarsdale? We actually have limited choice here, in that some districts will accept out of district students if they have space. I know MA allows for this too. In reality, though, the good districts don't participate. Also, schools are allowed to reject students they don't want. I don't know who participates here, but I saw a map for MA, and basically, none of the "good" districts surrounding Boston participate. I think the real problem here is that outside of the cities, we just don't have the organizational structure to support widespread choice. One last comment, about parochial schools. Your son went to a Jesuit high school, and I am betting I know which one, which is a really different animal from your standard parochial school. I teach at a university at which 50% of our students come from parochial schools. Generally, they are NOT coming from Jesuit prep schools though. My ex-parochial school students are very bit as unprepared as the public school grads. All I can conclude is that while there are some fine Catholic prep schools, largely Jesuit run, the vast majority of parochial schools in the NYC metro area are mediocre and are not focused on college preparation. So our tax dollars can get funneled to the Catholic Church if we wish, but it isn't going to make a difference. Our kids were raised in the MD suburbs of DC and the best public high schools in our immediate area kept the top students because of the very strong honors/AP offerings and the very bright kids who took that path. Through my kids' sports, I knew many kids from the whole area, many of whom attended private or parochial schools,but almost all were kids who lived in area of weaker high schools or who were not academically competitive for either the magnet programs or the honors/AP path at top schools. (where AP meant elite-college level, with most kids getting 4-5s) The privates tended to be better than the non-honors/AP path at the best high schools and were better than the honors/AP offerings at weaker high schools (where there were not enough kids to fill real honors/AP classes, so the level of the classes suffered). I can remember one very shy kid whose parents sent to a private because it was much smaller than their 1500-student public). "I think the real problem here is that outside of the cities, we just don't have the organizational structure to support widespread choice." So you don't have real choice right now, like most of our area. What's your point - don't allow choice? You were complaining that we don't have a lot of charter schools in NY, and I was explaining why. I really don't think itis an evil conspiracy. We just are not well set up for charters, at least in suburban NY. "...and I was explaining why." You were opining. I was NOT talking about just suburban NY and I said nothing about an evil conspiracy. It's obvious and open. The New York State teachers’ union (as all state teachers' unions) opposes more charter schools because they take away their money and power. If they thought that increasing the limit would have no effect, they wouldn't be howling so much. All unions fight to keep that limit below any level of demand. "The New York State teachers’ union (as all state teachers' unions) opposes more charter schools because they take away their money and power." Hmmm, that sounds to me like you are accusing the teachers union of a conspiracy. "that sounds to me like you are accusing the teachers union of a conspiracy. " No. What they are doing is quite open and obvious. Unions might claim that what's best for them is what's best for kids, but that isn't so. They directly oppose new charter schools that urban parents desperately try to get their kids into. This is no longer a voucher for rich people issue. Unions are showing their true colors. You are really talking about the situation in NYC. The state is far more than just the city. We have 700 school districts in NY, all with strong local control. Here are some numbers: Of the state's 248 charter schools, 197 are in NYC. There are 33 more in Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. "Throughout the state's nearly 700 other school districts, there are only 18, including one each in Yonkers and Mount Vernon.". The article goes on to explain some of the problems, including what they call "fierce community opposition". And btw, I actually got hold of the 2010 proposal for the White Plains charter mentioned in the article, and read it carefully, and it was terrible. My 12 year old could have written a better proposal. It was for an "art infused high school" with lots of hand waving about infusing art and no detail whatsoever on curriculum or educational methods. It deserved to die. We have 700 school districts, many of which are too small to ever be able to support an alternative school of any kind, not because of the teachers unions, but because this is what the taxpayers want. And many states in the Northeast are just like us. No Froggiemama, this is not what the taxpayers want. The people who dont have tax exemptions want academics for their children. The ones that do are for offering the least possible. My school district went from IB to 'school to work' gen ed overnight. We offer academies within the school, alternative, and night high school...but the admin is philosophically opposed to IB, AP, and honors as well as offering academics beyond what is required for the Regents Advanced diploma....it doesnt matter what that group of academically inclined students need. My 16 year old was told to grad early or spend his senior year at the Community College as the school is only offering the required english, ss, and pe....thats a 45 minute drive on a good weather day, and he is supposed to drive himself and pay for it all. In the mid to lo Hudson area, Tuxedo is opening a STEM charter, and Newburgh is opening a Pathways to Technology Early College High School program. People want honors math and science for all qualified children. They dont want their kids tossed out of the community because staying would mean the school board would have to turn one section of chemistry into an honors class. Some school districts are so busy with their social agenda that they refuse tominclude the academic needs of all, their students. But you are ignoring urban schools. I wasn't. Why? Our state does not have many charters in non-urban areas because of restricted rules about charters, not because of lack of demand or poor applications. Here is a quote from the article you use: "Several groups have sought and failed to open charter schools in the Lower Hudson Valley in recent years, most recently in Peekskill and Mount Vernon, thanks to furious community opposition or the state's denial of their applications. This "furious" opposition is not because some applications may be poor, and much of it comes from unions and parents who support the unions. "... not because of the teachers unions, but because this is what the taxpayers want." This is not true. Unions are not neutral on the matter. And the point of charter schools is NOT to get majority support from everyone. They are not supposed to be for everyone, but many seem to be bound and determined to stop all charter schools. If your area can't support charters because of lack of demand, then that's the way it is, but you don't seem to want to let individual parents decide. Why is that? The "furious" opposition is a clear example of not letting the market decide, not because of a lack of demand. How many of you have school boards dominated by people whose candidacy was supported vigorously by members of the teacher's union, or are retired teachers or administrators? From your same article: "Earlier proposals met similar fates. In 2010, a proposal for an arts-oriented charter in White Plains for students from across Westchester County met fierce opposition from educators, parents and union leaders." "Fierce" "and union leaders." In our area, the union recruits parents AND students to fight charter applications. They lead the battle and provide resources. They make no attempt to hide this. They recruit publically. "It was like being fed into a meat grinder," said Seth Davis, a Rye lawyer and organizer. "There was no attempt to understand what we were doing." This is from your article. This isn't a group of taxpayers who are just concerned that some other kids might be subjected to a poor school. In one nearby case, very poorly written student support letters for public schools helped tilt the decision in favor of the charter school. Also, even though we have few viable charter schools in our area, they cause our public schools to do more. My son's public school principal told me that. They don't like to see the better students leave, even to go to private schools. It allowed my son to get more because they wanted to show that differentiated instruction meant something other than just offering help on the low side. if the taxpayers don't want local control, then why is it so hard to get rid of it?? The single best thing that could happen here in NY would be to consolidate, oh, about half those 700 districts, but it is like a sacred cow. And the debate really is not driven by the teachers unions. It is the people in those towns. They are petrified they will lose control. My town is such a good example of the craziness. I am in a town of 30,000, with THREE SEPARATE school districts. I can WALK to all of the schools in the three districts, they are so close together. One of the districts, whose school is about 2 miles from my house, is much better and more heavily funded than the other two, but can I send my kids there? No! And it isn't because of a teacher's union. It is because the taxpayers in that district want no part of the hoi polloi from my district, even though we all live in the same town!!!! Our blog owner Catherine lives in a similar place (I used to live there too). You can go out for a little job and hit 4 school districts, each with its own character and funding level. Kids do not move between these districts. It is nice that Tuxedo is starting a STEM charter. They are 30 minutes from the truly desperate East Ramapo school district. Are they going to allow some of those poor kids in East Ramapo into their charter? I betcha not. My main point is that it is really easy for outsiders to look at the school situation in NY and just see NYC. In NYC, there is truly a union vs charter battle happening. But in much of the rest of NY, we need to solve the microdistrict craziness first. And that holds for NJ and MA too. For those who want choice, how can we even implement choice if our choice radius is only 2 miles? previous comment correction "little jog", not "liitle job". I should compose in a separate window first so I don't misspell things If you want to talk about specific issues in your area, then don't generalize to all non-urban areas or to choice in general, especially when the discussion included urban areas. "we need to solve the microdistrict craziness first" Then you would be for choice? Are all charter schools in New York approved by local school districts and limit attendance to only those in that district? Our state, not local districts, has approval process and anyone can apply to any charter school. "For those who want choice, how can we even implement choice if our choice radius is only 2 miles?" Change the state laws regarding choice. I don't follow you. You like choice, but you really don't like micro districts. Then again, you argue against choice in general. Tuxedo will be open to out of district students. Newburgh will not. And E. Ramapo illustrates the whole problem...the school boards see no obligation to provide appropriate instruction for all compelled students, just the politically chosen favs of the day. By the way, a new Talent Act has been introduced in the US Senate. That may help some of the '3s' who are currently ignored in the classroom. How will Tuxedo work? WIll they charge tuition to the home districts of their out of district students? What if the home district doesn't want to spring for it? Steve, the law in New York allows students to go to another district only if the receiving district approves that individual student, and the student pays tuition to the receiving district. The problem is that many "good" districts simply don't participate, and they don't have to. But the tuition is also a problem since there are wide disparities in the amounts spent per pupil in different districts. There is no state law that lets students go to a out of district charter with a set amount of money following that student. The problem in East Ramapo is due to the power of the local taxpayers, who overwhelmingly elect a school board that only looks out for private schools. Even though New York does not generally support private school choice, that school board has figured out how to get around it. But they wouldn't have the power except that the taxpayers overwhelmingly support what they are doing, which is siphoning money out of the public schools. Steve, yes, I believe our charter schools have to be approved at the local district level and hosted by that district. "I believe our charter schools have to be approved at the local district level and hosted by that district." Then change the state law. You can argue against whatever this is, but it's not choice and not how it works in many other places. Then, as in our state, you will see exactly what the unions think. It sounds like they don't have to do anything right now. If you can't change the state law, then don't blame choice and don't argue against it in other places where it's more like real choice. If the sending district does not want to pay, they are not obligated unless it is determined in court that they cannot provide an appropriate education for thestudent. The districts I looked into charged slightly more than the avg per pupil price for ood tuition. Parents are willing to pay that much...the problem is many was that they were at capacity until this year, when population declines started happening as the economy picked up and people moved to get the education they needed for their children. Now some districts are talking about admitting fee paying international students, as they have empty seats. San Francisco's school choice program was intended to serve the social engineering agenda of its politicians, but the only people it ended up helping were parents and students. From this very long article on school choice in SF:. Our journalists, and the politicians with whom they share a common agenda, seem to take for granted that the school district has a different agenda from the families it nominally represents. District Policy Director Orla O'Keeffe complains that when families don't want what politicians want for them, choice privileges families over politicians: “If you’ve got racially isolated choice patterns, then your capacity to create diversity using a choice mechanism is constrained,” O’Keeffe said. “There’s none of that in our system. It’s all about what families want.” Much more about how San Francisco's political class sees school choice in the article... The way "school choice" in San Francisco works seems quite a lot like the way it works in Boston. Kids are bused willy-nilly all over town, kids don't go to school with the kids living next door to them, and the schools are more segregated today than they were in the sixties. The other side effect: if you have a complaint about the school - say, your five year old keeps coming home bloodied up and missing clothing - they won't do anything because you always have the Choice to leave. I choose none of the above.

Santa Barbara served as the model for the fictional city of Santa Teresa, where a good number of Archer novels and stories take place. I replaced the cityscape with some Spanish Mission style buildings from Santa Barbara. Tom Nolan offered the suggestions of including the Warner Brothers water reservoir and the Santa Barbara Courthouse clock tower since Hollywood factored into the Archer canon quite often, and because Ken Millar and his wife, Margaret Millar (also a mystery novelist), were known to frequent court sessions in Santa Barbara. The courthouse seemed like a perfect replacement for the couple embracing--the basic shape worked pretty well in the space and was more in keeping with the Archer tales. While Lew Archer wasn't depicted as a eunuch, romance played a relatively small role in the oeuvre. More often, the books dealt with Oedipal themes and lost children. Because I changed Archer's revolver to a fountain pen, it became especially important to render the shooting vignette pretty much "as is" to make it clear that this book contained crime stories, and to retain a strong visual link to the original image. After receiving his copies of The Archer Files, Tom Nolan wrote to tell me: "I remember Joe Gores saying how seeing (and reading) The Name is Archer changed his life; how he was hooked by its cover, and 'that grey-faced guy with the gun.' Maybe some grad student somewhere will be hooked too now by 'that grey-faced guy with the fountain pen.'"

Neo certainly has that effect on me (and probably many other fans hehe). 2. Call my best friend and just lay in bed with her, talking, reminiscing, enjoying ourselves. I had such a day yesterday actually. I called her to come by my place at around 1 pm and she left at 12 am. Luckily for us, we live really close to each other. We didn’t even notice how fast the hours past by, we just sat together and had fun, laughed, talked and ate chocolate. Chocolate is a must on lazy days. If you want to hang around the house and do nothing, why not eat a chocolate too? You can lay around and do nothing AND have a sweet taste in your mouth. Yumm! A lazy day?? All I would do is stay in my pajamas and read a good book and a few blogs. Or ogle new laptops and phones… On a lazy but not so lazy day, I’d be baking though! Hi! On a lazy day I just stay in a big couch and watch some good series, probably if it’s raining outside. Or I’d go for some coffee with my good old friends! that’s quite enough for me to chill! thank you and keep up the good work I like to listen to music and sew, or to play piano. Thank you for the giveaway On a lazy day, I like to introspect. It’s nice to take a breather and take a look at your life. Lazy days are often accompanied by rain (because who wants to go out when it looks like a typhoon outside?) so I’ll put on a rainy day music playlist and sit back and write/type out a journal entry about my life. If I try to write when I’m stressed out, the entries end up just being a jumble of anxiety, so slow days are the best days to think about your feelings, do some online window shopping, make a list of movies you want to watch or books you want to read, and maybe pick one off the list. Or I simply stay in my bed and scroll through blogs/tumblr/pinterest, haha. I spend my lazy days with the airconditioner switched on along with the TV. I immerse myself in movies of various genres, hoping to get lost and found in these alternate worlds while I drink some hot chocolate milk. That said, it’s pretty much difficult to separate me from my bed whenever needed (like if it’s time for lunch, in which case I gobble up the main dish fast and bring back with me whatever dessert I could find in the fridge). But, if I don’t find any movie interesting at the time, I end up lounging in front of my laptop, looking at pretty clothes and pretty people and pretty things and getting myself inspired instead of coveting them all day. (I try my hardest to avoid yummy food pictures, because they’re the worst kind of torture, haha!) The most productive thing I’ve ever done on a lazy day was mixing-and-matching the outfits in my closet, because I totally want to maximize all my pieces in college. I draw the outfits in my doodle notebook and hope it’d be handy when the time comes. The paradox in ennui is that you tend to be productive, after all! on a slow and lazy days… because i like japanese culture, i always watch their tv shows on youtube or watch their drama and movie, and i always look up on the internet for FASHION : D or check other people’s blog : ) lazy days are always perfect for sitting down with a good cup of coffee and reading a good book on your favorite couch. Read books, Photographs some random stuffs around me, read blogs (yours is one of my favorite!) annndddd eat looottsss of yummy fooods! Hmm..I haven’t had much in the way of ‘lazy days’ these past 8 months, what with it being my last year in uni (yaay! almost done!). BUT: I have a nice long break until my last exam, and I’m making up for all those lost lazy days >=D (atleast until the pressure to study for that last exam builds up). (don’t worry, I always make sure my cooking experiments are 1. edible, 2. taste acceptable) Here’s what I like to do: - knit (leaves my brain free to whirr and whiz and reminisce) - watch anime (never hurts to brush up on those Japanese skills!) - look up funky hair colour styles - pick random ingredients from whatever food items I have lying around, look up a recipe and make it! And then feed the results to my minions…I mean siblings On a lazy day… depending on the weather, I will usually make myself a cup of lavender green tea, and just lay down somewhere, reading a novel. I have a whole list of books I’ll be reading over the summer this way! When the weather is nice, I will go out to my backyard and read, but if it isn’t, I’ll just stay at home, and make myself cozy! I also put up classical music in the background, such as Verdi or Mozart, and even Beethoven! xx maggie saltandleather.blogspot.com lovely detailes! xxx sit down with a nice hot cup of tea… so soothing. thank you for this blog. Lazy Day? I will go to the swimming pool and swim there! I love sports so much, it’s good for our body. And I love the make doodles on my skecth book, design something, skirts, top, or else, just like my dream, be a designer! HAHA XD Sometimes, I take out my clothes from my cupboard, I use and I try to combine something, after that, I take a photo of myself, then I post my photo on my blog or chictopia XD I hope, I can be the winner :3 Thanks for the giveaway! On those days I love to flip through magazines and draw and paint! I love drawing, makes me forget time and everything else I have on my mind! Love, ChaCha Chacha-illustrations.blogspot.com On lazy days (usually sundays for me) I tidy my room in the morning and I sit all afternoon in the sofa watching series or films ..not really proud of it :d Is a nice necklace, thanks for the giveaway! On lazy days, I like to browse through pretty runway pictures and clothes and ogle at them until I make myself believe that I actually own all of them! <3 Thanks for the giveaway ^^ Holding a cup of hot coffee with pyjamas on and sitting infront of the computer and check the new blog update ….then have breakfast …..and play with my dog and baby…..and nap….just stay at my cosy home to spend my lazy day.. Oooh what i do on a lazy sunday? I sleep in, throw on a large oversized cardigan and sit out on the deck looking at blogs all day. A pot of green tea, and the sun out just makes it even better! Thanks for this awesome giveaway! Sylvia Poon, [email protected] A slow and lazy day means…time to look at fashion blogs (such as yours, Mayo:D), trying to be inspired. Next, I’ll peek into my own closet to see if any of my items can be worn to create a whole new look based on the inspiration I got from blogs earlier;) then suddenly, my lazy and slow day becomes a productive day, when my creativity fully flourishes<3 Or I may just play with my bf's dog:D she's not mine, obviously, but she acts so spoiled around me that I sometimes forget that she's not mine. Thank you for the giveaway, Mayo:) I love sleep with my love FB: Samantha Tedesco [email protected] Que bonito el colgante es una pasada!!! me gusta un saludo desde: on lazy days i stay in my pyjama the whole day, read and eat a lot of chocolate till i am so bored that i start to count the raindrops behind the window. [email protected] On a slow and lazy day- just like today-, I like designing party dresses, watching videos about handcraft or discovering new veggie recipes. I try to invest my time on things that I can’t do on normal days. But whenever I don’t even feel like doing anything, I lie down on the sofa and watch a film (fun is also very necessary!). And that’s basically all I can tell you; I hope these ‘tasks’ help you to organize your time and make it more useful Lovely giveaway On my lazy days i do NOTHING! I would lie if I said I was being productive… I pamper myself, watch tv shows, oh thy haven! [email protected] (liked rose tatu on fb!) I’ve just returned home from my first year of university, so for me the past few days have been a string of slow and lazy days. This is the breakdown of my day so far: Wake up at noon. Enjoy a long, luxurious bath until the water gets cold and I grow tired of wallowing in my own filth. Dress in sweats and a sweatshirt (bra optional). No socks – socks are for the people who actually have a purpose today. Just enjoy the feeling of cold feet for one day, damn it. Settle on the couch in front of the TV with a blanket and laptop. With the sounds of trashy reality television shows acting as background noise to crush any desire for human company, get on the net and do what I do best: waste time. Creep indulgently on Facebook; scroll past dozens of pictures on Tumblr; spend hours watching videos of cute animals on Youtube and cursing the day my dog died. Interrupt this session with a bathroom break. While I’m up, eat some no-prep food like cereal, chips, candy, and ice cream. Today is an “off day,” so feel free to indulge in whatever. Regret and self-loathing will come tomorrow. Back to the internet. While sitting in sweats with a bare face and uncombed hair, check out the fashion blogs. Bookmark cute outfits and DIY posts, hype looks on Lookbook.nu, check out any coupons for online shopping. Spend a couple hours adding clothes and accessories to shopping carts, realize that I can’t afford any of it, and exit the window while thinking longingly of peplum, pastel, and colorblocking. It’s okay, I tell myself, there are always giveaways. beautifulllll!!!!! Suerte a todas! Mi email es: [email protected] On lazy days I usually get up as late as possible (reverse of a normal human’s sleep/wake hours : D), read lots of favourite fashion/style blogs (of course), eat some sweet stuff and take my time to draw. Oh, and occasionally find lovely giveaways like this one. Had to check the rose tatu website and fell in love with their accessories right away<3 [email protected] On a slow and lazy day when time is frozen alongside my homemade strawberry sorbet I let the angelic voice of Teresa Teng envolve me like a cocoon a cup of hot cocoa with extra whipped cream side by side a cupcake or two I dim the light and light scented candles instead cuddling with my teddy and maybe watch a black and white movie of love and thrill in a universe far, far away I pick up an old paperback of ancient poems and let the words flow in my tongue ever smooth ever silky maybe when the sun is retiring I will take a walk and let the specks of gold and orange color my hair and skin in a city so crowded where all the stars fall from heaven and adorn the skyscrapers instead I imagine there is a candle in my heart and walk slow and steady back to my little slice of heaven on a slow and lazy day What I love to do in my lazy day? I’d wear my comfy pajamas and then reading novel online through my all time fave reading website, Wattpad. Looking at at other people’s blog for my reference and updating my blog. Or just plainly shopping online hahahaa >.< I'm a nerd (yes, I am), but still want to be fashionable hahaa! (I liked Rose tatu on fb! ) On lazy days I like to sit in my pajamas and relax with my little dog, Oscar. Sometimes I’ll look at fashion blogs for inspiration. Other times I like to look at my fashion magazines either to read and find inspiration or to cut out pictures to add to my growing collage on my bedroom walls. I love it when I sit in front of the computer. Search for awesome outfits, accessories and read blogs like FashionSalade. It boosts up my laziness And loving every cute pastel outfit of her Hi Mayo and Rose Tatu I’d love to make some cute things such as handicrafts, or probably a ‘do it yourself’ (DIY) projects. It doesn’t have to be a big, boring and serious projects, but just have fun by making a cute piece of knitting pattern as a scarf or a hairpin. It’s fun, simple and easy. So instead of wasting the time, i could spend my precious time by making something useful. l like to re-read my favourite books I know them by heart and they never bore me. x I usually turn the music on, sing and dance. Then I like to take my bicycle and just forget to return home. I love lazy days! I use that days for spoil me. I take a long bath and put a lot of lotions and creams over me, usually I don’t have time for that so I really enjoy it! If it’s sunny I’ll be out in my English garden, lying on the comfy lounge chair and snoozing. (My facebook name is An Le) On slow lazy days, I like to just spend my time either lazing around watching tv/movies or relax in the pool all day with my boyfriend. If I am by myself, I love to do sketches and make jewelry and accessories all day. According to me, a lazy day is full of very delicate and some fun moments. I spend these days with a very laid back attitude (Though I’m naturally laidback!).I’d wake up and make myself some coffee and smell through its lovely scent. It really refreshes me. Then I’d just sip some coffee and look through my window. The nature with its alluring beauty actually enchants me a lot. After that I’d open my computer and would look some lovely blogs(one is always yours!!!) and my own tumblr blog. I’d spend afternoons by talking with my BFF and boyfriend. Such days are always very special to me. A lazy day doesn’t mean being lazy. It’s just having some lazy thoughts, laid back attitude and of course being hopelessly romantic♥♥♥ Anyways,thank you Rose Tatu and mellow mayo blog for this awesome giveaway.♥ Hi there, You’ve done a fantastic job. I’ll certainly digg it and for my part recommend to my friends. I’m confident they’ll be benefited from this website.
Victoria is a city in Ellis County, Kansas, United States. In 2010, 1,214 people lived there. History A group of British people led by a Scotsman named George Grant created Victoria in 1873. They created it on land he had bought from the Kansas Pacific Railway. They named the settlement after Queen Victoria. Grant wanted Victoria to be a ranching community. He was apparently responsible for bringing the first Aberdeen Angus cattle to the United States. Most of the colonists, however, were remittance men more interested in sports and dancing than in raising animals. Their families soon learned of this and lowered the remittances. This caused most of the colonists to leave by 1880. Some returned to Britain; others left for South America. In 1876, Volga Germans from villages near Saratov, Russia created the settlement of Herzog one half mile north of Victoria. Herzog's Roman Catholic settlers built a many churches. Herzog grew quickly and later took over Victoria, eventually taking the older settlement's name. Herzog was officially renamed Victoria in 1913. In 1942, the U.S. Army built Walker Army Airfield 3 miles northeast of Victoria. During World War II, thousands were put there at the airfield. The military closed the base in 1946. In 1966, Interstate 70 reached Victoria, going north of the city. Geography Victoria is at (38.853588, -99.147456). It has an elevation of 1,926 feet (587 m). It is on Kansas Highway 255 (K-255) south of Interstate 70 in northwestern Kansas. Victoria is about east of Hays (the county seat), northwest of Wichita, and west of Kansas City. The city is about north of the Smoky Hill River in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains. The city is on the east side of the North Fork of Big Creek, part of the Smoky Hill River watershed. The United States Census Bureau says that the city has a total area of . All of it is land. People 2010 census The 2010 United States Census says that there were 1,214 people, 496 households, and 316 families living in Victoria. Infrastructure Transportation Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 40 go concurrently east-west about one mile north of Victoria. K-255 goes north-south from I-70 to Victoria's northern city limits.

It is not antisemitic to be anti-zionist, any more than it was anti-German to be anti-Nazis. Zionism does not have to be a right-wing politique, but it has become one. Zionism is not in itself Jewish; there are plenty of Christians, Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox who are also Zionists; there are also plenty of Muslims who are as well. Critiquing the politics of Zionism is not critiquing Jewish people or Jewish history or Jewish philosophy or traditions, their culture and civilization. It is not anti-Semitic to be anti-Zionist today, as Zionism in its American and Israeli versions plays out on the stage of world politics and international diplomacy. Let’s not engage in the rhetorical or media ping-pong Americans are so in love with. Let’s not be one of those who miss the point or can’t get the point of this website’s critique of Zionism now as an extension of the traditions of Colonialism, whether British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Roman, Greek, Ottoman, Byzantine, Persian, Babylonian, et cetera, et cetera. Whatever have we in the ways of examining our past, imperialism is imperialism as it has remained so over the millennia; colonialism is colonialism; reactionary politics everywhere will always share some commonality with fascist or Nazis politics. Ottoman imperialism and colonialism in the Mediterranean and Middle East can be examined in adjunct to the fore mentioned colonialism. Current Arab states in the Middle East and the Arabs as an ethnic identity embracing all tribal affiliations, wins its favor, its support, its acceptance and manifestation we see approximately in these nations, during the struggles against Turkish Imperialism. Israel seems as it has seemed bent on replacing the British and French colonialist designs in the middle east; it also seems intent on replacing the old Ottoman impositions on Arab States. (Could this be the unspoken or unconscious reason behind the alliance Israel shares with Turkey?) Zionism is a political agenda today working within the perimeters and parameters of traditional European Colonialism. We must understand and assert up front, at the risk of repetition after repetition, that Zionism is not in itself Jewish. There are many American Zionists who are not Jewish. There are Zionists, or those whose political sympathies are aligned with Zionism and its agenda in the Middle East, who are Arab and Muslim. Obama, for example, is America’s chief Reactionary Zionist. His escalation of the Afghan war will have serious consequences for the USA and Britain, while destabilizing our security at home and further radicalizing militant Islamic groups, and putting nuclear weapons in the hands of such extremists. Obama also opposes UN resolution after resolution of the Security Council when it comes to Israel’s colonialist agenda in Gaza, all because Zionism and its neo-fascist agenda in the Middle East is entrenched in the American political mind as a necessary adjunct to the geo-political policies of the United States. This alliance Israel has with the United States is another extension of the traditions of European Colonialism, the very same tradition of colonialism that carried Nazism to the fore of European and world politics. It was not traditional Anti-Semitism that gave rise to Nazism, but the political energy of European Colonialism. This must be understood; and those who learned their lessons from the Nazis, either as victims of the Nazis or by opposing the Nazis, have become the most like them. Politics now cannot ignore the depth and breadth of Zionist control of information in America. . . like Nazis Volksbund in America in the 30s, Zionists in their reactionary agenda use propaganda and the hypothesis of world confrontation against their allegedly benign designs as a means to further their influence and establish themselves as a viable political alternative in a democracy which they actually despise. Unlike the Nazis in America, Zionists have a stranglehold on media conduits. They pretend well to be the protectors of freedom, vilifying anyone who threatens to oppose their hegemony in the international political arena. Anyone who seriously critiques the US/Israeli government sponsored colonialism in Palestine, Manifest Destiny revisited, is attacked and vilified as an Anti-Semite, i.e., neo-Nazis. If the critique is from someone Jewish, then he or she is attacked as a self-loathing Jew who has suffered an identity crisis due to centuries of anti-Semitism. The only acceptable way to be Jewish today is to be Zionist, and the only acceptable Zionism in America is a reactionary proto-fascist version. And we wonder how our rights continue to evaporate. It’s no wonder under this right-wing heat wave we suffer. To imagine, though, that Zionism is not a nationalism, thus an inheritor of all the potential good and evil of nationalist agendas, nationalist pride, nationalist policies and politics is naive. But then all forms of national identity fall under the rubric of nationalism, which is why we must always take care how we become patriotic. If I say I am an American or a citizen of the United States, I am acting in a minor and perhaps benign way, nationalistically. Love of country and its culture is nationalistic, and in turn could be called patriotic. If I had to name someone for whom the word Patriot was applicable, I’d probably have to say The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior, which may surprise some, on either side of accepting this, if there are in fact two diametrically opposed sides to this, but seeing as how much we love to flip coins intellectually in America, let’s leave it at that. Patriotism does not equal malignant nationalism, but it can. I’m not as opposed to flag waving as most of my liberal colleagues are, myself probably being more radical than most of them in their mainstream reflexes. I understand it, and its place even, in a liberal democracy. Looking back on Flag Day when I was a boy, I do not see the Nazis Rally at Nuremburg, but I do see Soviet- and Nazis-like tendencies in the actions of good American citizens of both liberal or conservative political leanings, in the workplace, in my building, in the opinions expressed over coffee at the luncheonette, in the ways policies are enacted by bureaucrats and administrators and supervisors, all of whom are like the low-level authorities from which the Nazis and Soviets garnered their strength and control. It can happen here because it is happening here, and Zionism as it rears an ugly neo-con head in America is as much a terror and an evil as any totalitarianism or fanatical Islamists like ISIS. I do not like the ping-pong we are asked to play in America, rhetorically, politically, socially . . . no. Rational intelligence demands more than the knee jerk responses of left or right or Zionist or Islamic fanatic or one or another fascist.

Brookes third in Oulton BSB qualifying – O’Halloran 12th Jake Dixon takes pole from Shane Bryne ‘Shakey’ Byrne firing through the order to leap back up to a front row starting position in second place, just 0.124s adrift of Dixon. Jake Dixon – P1 “We haven’t changed much this weekend and that has been the key. My confidence has been growing and I feel like I am getting stronger. I looked like I might get another faster lap in but I had a bit too much of a wheelie going on and it fluffed my braking into the chicane. We have some good pace, but nobody has really done any long distance runs other than Josh on the SC0 tyre because of the changing conditions. It will be two long hard races tomorrow but I am excited for it and I will be pushing on in the races. We made it into the Showdown and that was the goal for this year, so I feel the pressure is off a bit now especially signing for next year too, so I am going to have some fun tomorrow.” Shane Byrne – P2 “I’m very happy with second today. After what happened last time out at Silverstone, I hit the reset button and came here feeling relaxed especially as we did so well here at Oulton back in May with first and second. But all weekend so far, we’ve struggled to get a good feeling with the bike for some reason but the team made some changes before qualifying which definitely worked. I made a couple of mistakes on both my fast laps, out-braking myself into the final corner, so it should have been pole but I’m happy with second place and the front row.”. Dan Linfoot – P4 “Well we started off the weekend with three difficult practice sessions if I am honest, so we have been working on the set up for the CBR and trying to understand it a bit more. We made some significant changes before qualifying and made a big step. Throughout the three stages I chipped away at my times and in the final stage produced my quickest lap of the weekend, so I’m happy with that. Starting from fourth is a good position to start from, we have some things to work through ahead of the first race tomorrow, but I am confident we are going in the right direction.” Jason O’Halloran – P12 “It has been a tough day today, I had a crash in Q2 and have hurt my shoulder a little bit. It was a fast one into turn one as I was trying to push to get into the Q3 group, I went under the protective barrier and made contact with the wall, which was less than ideal. I am OK but a little sore and bruised from the crash. We made it into Q2 after being eighth fastest and I was hopeful going into the second session, but today was not meant to be. Tomorrow is a new day and as always I will be giving 100% in both races!” …12. Jason O’Halloran Superstock 1000 Race One Richard Cooper closed-in on the National Superstock 1000 Championship lead, taking victory onboard his Bennetts Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the first of two races at Oulton Park and the 10th round of the series. Cooper had been consistently-fast in all the weekend’s free practice sessions, the team making some slight adjustments to the settings from the last visit to the Oulton Park circuit; settings which allowed him to find half-a-second in lap-time from the previous visit. Starting from the front row of the grid for the race, Cooper made a pass for the lead and pulled out a slender, but clear, advantage at the front to take the win. It means he now sits just 10 points off the top of the championship standings with two races to go. Richard Cooper “Today was spot on to be fair. It was a good race, a right race, but we did the job we needed to. To be honest I just stuck to my pace. It wasn’t an easy race, but I stuck to the pace I knew we could run at and a pace I thought would be good enough for the win. My GSX-R1000 has been good from the off. We’ve learned a lot since the last time we were here, so our setup is slightly different from the previous visit, but the changes we’ve made have found us half-a-second in lap time. The same again tomorrow will be just the job.” Aussie Josh Elliott took sixth in Race One, while Sam Clarke posted a DNF result.

Optimization of existing domain or traditional antibodies is aimed at improving desired biological properties such as binding affinity, expressibility, or developability. We use several complementary techniques in combination to introduce targeted diversity into the antibody sequence. Our techniques include in vivo antibody evolution via inducible hypermutation in CDR regions. For optimization of human IgG antibody, we also use heavy chain or light chain shuffling using pre-made human heavy chain or light chain libraries, respectively. Yeast clones expressing antibodies with desired attributes are isolated by FACS followed by individual clone validation.
Thomas Weelkes (baptised in Elsted, Sussex, 25 October 1576; died London, buried 1 December 1623) was an English composer and organist. He is one of the greatest composers of madrigals of his time as well as great composer of church music. Life Thomas Weelkes was baptised in the little village church of Elsted in Sussex on 25 October, 1576. His father may have been the rector at that church. There is no information about Weelkes' childhood. We know that in 1597 he published his first volume of madrigals, and that he was a young man then. After working for a short time at the house of Edward Darcye, he got the job of organist at Winchester College. He was paid 13s 4d (almost 67p in modern money) per quarter (i.e. every three months), but was given food and somewhere to live. He stayed there for two or three years. During his time in Winchester Weelkes composed two more volumes of madrigals, published in 1598 and 1600. He got his B. Mus. Degree from New College, Oxford in 1602, and moved to Chichester to take up the job of organist and choir master at the Cathedral.. He was also a lay clerk at the Cathedral, and was paid PS15 2s 4d (PS15.11 in modern money) in addition to having food and lodgings. The next year he married Elizabeth Sandham, who came from a rich family. They had three children. Weelkes' fourth and final volume of madrigals, published in 1608, has a title page where he says that he was a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal. However, his name does not appear in the records at the Chapel Royal, so it is likely that he was only there for a short time until someone else was found for the job. In later years Weelkes got into trouble with the Chichester Cathedral authorities because of his heavy drinking and bad behaviour. In 1609 he was in trouble because he was absent from work. In 1616 he was in trouble again for swearing. In the end he lost his job because he was drunk at the organ and used bad language during the service. However, he got his job back, but his behaviour was still bad. Thomas Weelkes died in London in 1623, a year after his wife died. He was buried in St Bride's Church, Fleet Street, London. In Chichester Cathedral there is a memorial stone to him. Music Thomas Weelkes is best known for his vocal music, especially his madrigals and church music. Weelkes wrote more Anglican services than any other important composer of the time, mostly for evensong. Many of his anthems are verse anthems, which would have suited the small choir he was writing for at Chichester Cathedral. Weelkes was friends with the madrigalist Thomas Morley. When Morley died in 1602, Weelkes wrote an anthem called A Remembrance of my Friend Thomas Morley, (also known as "Death hath Deprived Me".) Weelkes's madrigals are very chromatic and use counterpoint and unusual rhythms.
2004 plan revisited for nonprofitsDecember 9, 2009 12:00 AM As Pittsburgh and academic officials warily work toward a deal that might forestall a tuition tax on city college students, they're laboring in the shadow of a 5-year-old plan to have tax-exempt groups help fund government -- one that ultimately didn't pan out, leaving city officials with a budget problem and a once-bitten attitude. In 2004, city officials, and some state leaders, thought they could count on $6 million a year in donations from the city's hospitals, universities and other tax-exempt institutions. In recognition of that, they abandoned plans to try to tax the payrolls of nonprofit entities. But donations never reached the target amount, and an offer from a tax-exempt umbrella group this year amounted to less than $2 million annually. Now, as Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and university presidents wrestle with alternatives to a proposed 1 percent tuition tax, the idea of a $6 million annual commitment to the city has resurfaced in private talks and in a letter yesterday from three state senators. "The [2004] deal was that the nonprofits and the corporate community would make sure that they maintained $6 million a year [in donations to the city], in exchange for not getting [charged] the payroll preparation tax," said state Sen. Jim Ferlo, D-Highland Park, who yesterday issued a letter to local institutions asking them to make good on the pledge. "If that were forthcoming, I think this tuition thing could be resolved at this point." "I have no knowledge of an agreement in 2004, but it's something we need to find out," said Carlow University President Mary Hines, who is chair of the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education. Is a $6 million contribution from the city's tax-exempt groups a possibility? "I really have no idea if it's doable or not." Instead, battle lines are drawn. City Council today is likely to postpone, for a week, its vote on the tuition tax. In the General Assembly, state Rep. Paul Costa, D-Wilkins, has introduced legislation to quash the tax. On the other hand, Sen. Wayne Fontana, D-Brookline, has floated a proposal to let municipalities assess nonprofit institutions based on the square footage of their buildings, and he joined Mr. Ferlo and Sen. Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, in calling for $6 million in voluntary payments. Similarly, there were a lot of moving parts in late 2004, when the city that had just entered into state fiscal oversight and was trying to pass its first recovery plan while seeking new taxing power from the state. Then-Mayor Tom Murphy was shuttling between the offices of legislators and the city's big four tax-exempt institutions -- the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pitt, Carnegie Mellon University and Allegheny General Hospital. "I think we were after $15 million initially" from the tax-exempt institutions, Mr. Murphy, now a senior resident fellow with the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Land Institute, said in an interview yesterday. The city's "only hook," in his words, was a proposed payroll tax that could be applied to the tax-exempt institutions. Mr. Murphy said that UPMC CEO Jeffrey Romoff, Pitt Chancellor Mark Nordenberg, CMU President Jared Cohon, and AGH leaders "agreed at some point that [$6 million a year in contributions] would be their goal, and they could get that." Pitt and CMU representatives denied that their universities' leaders were part of such a commitment. A UPMC spokesman responded that UPMC has been the largest donor to the city. West Penn Allegheny Health Systems did not comment. A state-backed recovery plan introduced to City Council in June 2004 counted on $6 million a year from tax-exempt institutions, from 2005 through 2009 and presumably beyond. The city then went to Harrisburg seeking authority for tax changes. During complex talks, legislators, city officials and Gov. Ed Rendell's administration opted to tax business payrolls at 0.55 percent. Tax-exempt groups were excluded, some say, only because of the expectation of a $6 million-a-year donation. "It was going to be $6 million from the nonprofit community going forward," said Jay Costa. "That commitment was very much tied into what happened regarding the payroll preparation tax." He and Mr. Ferlo said that Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce President Barbara McNees and then-state Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Yablonsky helped solidify the $6 million commitment. Mr. Yablonsky is now CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, of which the Chamber of Commerce is an affiliate. The Allegheny Conference board includes Mr. Romoff, Mr. Nordenberg and Mr. Cohon, among other leaders of tax-exempt and business institutions. Mr. Yablonsky declined comment through a spokesman, and Ms. McNees did not return calls for comment. State Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Squirrel Hill, said he didn't recall any "quid pro quo" linking the $6 million to exclusion from the payroll tax. "Extension of any kind of taxation to the nonprofits would have been a tough sell" in the House, he said. After the payroll tax was approved, with tax-exempt institutions excluded, the city entered into a pact with the Pittsburgh Public Service Fund, representing more than 100 nonprofit organizations. That agreement resulted in an average of $4.67 million a year in payments covering 2005 through 2007 -- short of the $6 million target. The city also collected less than $1 million a year from other tax-exempt organizations under longstanding side-deals. When Mr. Ravenstahl's administration talked with fund leaders in 2008 and 2009, they faced a tougher economy and a perception that the city's fortunes had improved. Complicating matters, some fund members, led by UPMC, committed to the Pittsburgh Promise program for college tuition aid to public school graduates. Mr. Ravenstahl again aimed for $6 million a year. He said he had "one-on-one discussions, and individual commitments were made. ... It was difficult to get all of the people in the room and say, 'We need $6 million.' " He said he offered to commit to putting the money toward the city's worsening pension fund shortfall. But the city only got pledges of $5.5 million over three years -- an average of $1.83 million a year. Council hasn't acted on that offer. If it was accepted, and the city got all of the money pledged, then it would likely log around $24.5 million in contributions from tax-exempt institutions from 2005 through 2010. That's around $11.5 million shy of what it would have received if it got $6 million a year. That gap between expectation and receipts was a factor in the tuition tax proposal. The other big factor is the need to find $15 million a year to bolster the pension fund. Yesterday, influential Sen. Jane Orie, R-McCandless, swung behind the push to bar the tax. "If they are allowed under current law to adopt such an ill-conceived tuition tax on college students, who we are desperately trying to have stay in Pennsylvania after they finish school, we need to pre-empt their consideration," she wrote in an e-mail response to questions. Mr. Ravenstahl countered that the "city's financial future is dependent on these discussions and the generation of $15 million." "We believe that the entire nonprofit community has a role to play in doing more than they're doing right now." Bill Schackner contributed to this report.
