Even if 2016 got us shook with the Brangelina divorce, and 2017 seems to be heading in the same direction – why did you have to do this to us, Anna Faris and Chris Pratt ?! Why? And now Josh Duhamel and Fergie have split too. We look at the famous couples that have found their soulmates, giving us relationship goals for the last decade (or more!). Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds If this pair ever split we'd probably have to take the day off work to stare into a wall. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are proper relationship goals: supportive (did you see that gorgeous tribute he made to her for helping him deal with his anxiety? Sob. ), funny and fabulous.

By Aviva Patz, published January 1, 2000 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016SHARETWEETEMAILMOREStudies show that the newlywed years can foretell the long-term outcome of almost every marriage. What do your newlywed years predict for you? What if I told you that there is a man in America who can predict, from the outset, whether or not your marriage will last? He doesn't need to hear you arguing; he doesn't need to know what you argue about. He doesn't even care whether you argue at all. I was dubious, too, but I was curious enough to attend a lecture on the subject at the American Psychological Association convention in Boston. Ted Huston, Ph. D., a professor of human ecology and psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, was showcasing the results of a long-term study of married couples that pierces the heart of social psychological science: the ability to forecast whether a husband and wife, two years after taking their vows, will stay together and whether they will be happy."

The NBC drama turns 50 on Nov. 8 (the official anniversary episode airs Nov. 9), and in honor of DOOL ’s long, strange trip through daytime, we’re taking a look back at 50 of our favorite Days memories, from love and heartbreak to death and destruction, with stops for levitating psychiatrists, deep-fried doughnuts, and alien teens in between. Not to mention all the creative evildoing of the greatest villain in soap history, one Stefano Di Mera.1. Oh, Brother Days of Our Lives star Peter Reckell told Yahoo TV this is one of his most favorite storylines from more than 30 years of Bo Brady’s time as a Salem-ite: the 1984 death of his big brother, Roman. On a cliff on a Caribbean island, Roman was shot by family nemesis Stefano and fell off onto the beach below, where Bo sobbed as he cradled his dying brother in his arms. Bo had to leave Roman for a brief time to get help, and when he returned, Roman’s body was missing… for a couple of years.

"text": "\"Firooz Zahedi/JBGPhoto.com When I first laid eyes on Michelle Pfeiffer many years ago, she was standing on the stairs of a palazzo in Venice for a ceremony honoring the director Martin Scorsese. Surrounded by paparazzi and press, she looked timid and afraid, a fawn caught in the crush of the crowd. For all her gorgeous radiance, she still seemed very much the small-town girl, wary of the bright lights and big changes that come with stardom. Even now, Pfeiffer, 49, is a striking contradiction — a movie star who is world famous, yet truly private. \"\" There have been people in my life who have told me I have to put myself out there more,\"\" she confesses with a shrug. \"\" But it's so hard for me to do that.\"\" Nonetheless, after two years off the big screen, Pfeiffer is ready to be back in the public eye. This summer, she'll be seen as the scheming vixen Velma Von Tussle in the movie version of Broadway's Hairspray. Though John Travolta is already getting tons of attention for his gender-bending turn as an obese woman in the film, it is Pfeiffer's vampy, campy performance as a meddlesome mom that is sure to win raves. Adept at comedy ( Married to the Mob) as well as drama ( The Fabulous Baker Boys ), Pfeiffer is tackling a surprising role in the science-fiction film Stardust, due next month."

Birth Certificate Heading Entry Number and GRO reference Column 1 - Date And Place Of Birth Column 2 - Forenames Column 3 - Sex Column 4 - Father's Name Column 5 - Mother's Name Column 6 - Father's Occupation Column 7 - Signature, Description and Residence of the Informant Column 8 - Date of Registration Column 9 - Signature of Registrar Column 10 - Name Given After Initial Registration The author, Barbara Dixon , can be emailed. Birth Certificate Heading We might as well start with the top of the birth certificate with the heading because this does have some relevance to finding your way through the indexes. When civil registration was first organised the most obvious unit that already existed and could be adapted to registration districts were the Poor Law Unions. Many of the original districts were a straight use of these and indeed those who administered the poor laws often became the first superintendent registrars. Poor Law Unions were made up of several parishes and the Unions could sometimes cross the county boundaries. As a registration district could be quite large - especially in rural areas - the actual place of birth could be quite a long way - and in a different county - from the town that gave its name to the registration district. If you can find a birth registration at the right time but apparently in the wrong place close by it could be worth checking it out. Some villages could lie in more than one registration district e.g. in my area the village of Colnbrook lay in 3 separate districts - one in Berkshire, one in Buckinghamshire and one in Surrey and this was not changed until 1994! That means that if a family moved down the road or across it they could be in a totally different registration district for the next child in the family."

( Pearl Gabel/New York Daily News)NEW YORK — With a flick of the switch, a 76-foot Norway Spruce officially became the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree Wednesday night after it was illuminated for the first time this holiday season in a ceremony that’s been held since 1933. Mayor Michael Bloomberg turned on the lights just before 9 p.m., setting off a dazzling 45,000 multi-colored LED lights and a 9 1/2-foot-wide Swarovski star that topped the 12-ton tree. Adam Connery, 41, and his wife Kristy Connery, 37, from Tyngsborough, Mass., watched the ceremony on their first vacation to New York City. “It’s gorgeous, it’s enormous,” said Kristy Connery of the massive tree towering above the hundreds of thousands of people who gathered to watch the ceremony. “ Christmas is my favorite time of the year. ”The holiday event in midtown Manhattan also was watched by millions on television. The tree will be on display until Jan. 7, after which it’ll be milled into lumber for Habitat for Humanity. Artists such as Mary J. Blige, the Goo Goo Dolls, Jewel, Mariah Carey and Leona Lewis performed. Lamar Lakins, 37, a housekeeper from Queens, brought his wife, mother, 10-year-old daughter Shanel, and newborn son to watch the performances and see the tree lighting."

When I was a young girl, I would often hear Elton John's \"\"Candle in The Wind,\"\" a song dedicated to the late Monroe, and while I enjoyed it, I never really understood the meaning behind it. I have recently started listening to an oldies station (60s, 70s, and yes - the 80s- are now considered \"\"oldies! \"\"), and Elton John is on frequent rotation.

"text": "The Mysterious Death of Kurt Cobain Lydia Hutchinson | April 5, 2014 | 50 Comments Seattle, April 8, 1994, 9 a.m. An electrician named Gary Smith arrived at Kurt Cobain’s home in Seattle to install a new security system. Though there was no answer at the front door, Smith got to work. As he climbed on the roof, following wires along the garage to a room above it, he looked through a window. Inside he saw an overturned plant and what he thought was a mannequin lying beside it. When he noticed the blood, he called the police. Kurt Cobain, 27, had been missing for six days. On March 30, he had checked himself into the Exodus Recovery Center, outside L. A., seeking help for his drug problems (Cobain told a close friend that he had been “shanghaied” into treatment by Gold Mountain, the company that managed his band Nirvana). Meanwhile, his wife Courtney Love was in L. A., doing press for the release of her group Hole’s new record, Live Through This. According to Love, Kurt called her from rehab and said, “No matter what happens, I want you to know you made a really good record.” She said, “What do you mean?”"

Genres Alternative rock grunge Years active 1987–1994Labels Sub Pop DGCAssociated acts Foo Fighters Sweet 75Website nirvana .com Past members Kurt Cobain Krist Novoselic Dave Grohl See members section for others Nirvana was an American rock band formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Nirvana went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Dave Grohl, who joined in 1990. Despite releasing only three full-length studio albums in their seven-year career, Nirvana has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and important alternative bands in history. Though the band dissolved in 1994 after the death of Cobain, their music maintains a popular following and continues to influence modern rock and roll culture. In the late 1980s, Nirvana established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing its first album, Bleach, for the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. They developed a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between quiet verses and loud, heavy choruses. After signing to major label DGC Records, Nirvana found unexpected success with \"\" Smells Like Teen Spirit \"\", the first single from the band's second album Nevermind (1991). Nirvana's sudden success widely popularized alternative rock, and Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the \"\"spokesman of a generation\"\", with Nirvana considered the \"\"flagship band\"\" of Generation X. [1] Nirvana's third studio album, In Utero (1993), released to critical acclaim, featured an abrasive, less mainstream sound and challenged the group's audience. Nirvana's active career ended following the death of Cobain in 1994, but various posthumous releases have been issued since, overseen by Novoselic, Grohl, and Cobain's widow Courtney Love."

Send Private Message Browse All Posts (18,649)Block Forum Stats Member Level 33Gamer Response to If Kurt Cobain Was Still Alive Feb 20, 2012Reply As far as I'm concerned, Kurt Cobain started to hate everything he became with music, the fame, himself, the people, everything - I don't think they ever sucked any dicks (figuratively speaking of course) to become famous. I've read many books on the subject and seen many documentaries about it - As I'm a die hard fan of Nirvana I don't think they'd be a band any more - I'm sure In Utero would have still been their last album, as not long before Kurt killed himself he practically broke the band up and left it. They wouldn't have lasted very long as it was, which isn't a bad thing... Everything that they've released have been true gems in music and nobody would have wanted to see that go downhill. Kurt was (in my opinion) an incredible songwriter and singer, not the best guitar player but they kept all the instruments kind of basic and easy - Another awesome thing about them. But, either way - I don't think they would have even lasted as a band."

By James Sullivan Kurt sings about death With its outtakes, rarities, and B sides, the long-awaited Nirvana boxed set turned out to be the table scraps of a once-bountiful buffet. There is one moment, however, that's well worth seeking out: a ghostly rendition of the infamous pop hit \"\"Seasons in the Sun.\"\" Fittingly, it comes at the end. A video clip from 1993 shows the trio struggling grimly with the song in a studio in Rio de Janeiro. Having switched roles—Kurt Cobain on drums, Dave Grohl on bass, Krist Novoselic on guitar—they exhibit a funereal seriousness that might reflect their lack of skills on unfamiliar instruments. It's more tempting, though, to believe that impossibly maudlin tune is hitting them right in the gut."

April 5, 1994Seattle, Washington Genre (s)Alternative rock Grunge Instrument (s) Vocals, Guitar Label (s)Sub Pop DGC Records Associated acts Nirvana Kurt Donald Cobain ( February 20, 1967 – c. April 5, 1994) was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of the Seattle -based rock band Nirvana. He served not only as the band's frontman and principal songwriter, but also as its \"\"leader and spiritual center.\"\" [ 1] With the band's success, Cobain became a major national and international celebrity, an uncomfortable position for a man who once said, \"\"Famous is the last thing I wanted to be.\"\" [ 2]Cobain and Nirvana helped reshape popular music in the 1990s. In 1991, the arrival of Nirvana's hit single \"\" Smells Like Teen Spirit \"\" marked the beginning of a dramatic shift of popular rock music away from the dominant genres of the 1980s ( glam metal, arena rock, and dance-pop) and toward the ascendance of grunge and alternative rock. The music media eventually awarded the song \"\"anthem-of-a-generation\"\" status, [3] and, with it, Cobain ascended as the reluctant \"\"spokesman\"\" for Generation X. Other hit songs written by Cobain include \"\" Come as You Are \"\", \"\" Lithium \"\", \"\" In Bloom \"\", \"\" Heart-Shaped Box \"\", \"\" All Apologies \"\", and \"\" About a Girl \"\". During the last years of his life, Cobain battled drug addiction and the media pressures surrounding him and his wife Courtney Love. On April 8, 1994, Cobain's body was found in his home. His death was officially ruled a suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Why Speculations of Murder Still Persist 22 Years Later By Andrew Leung | April 5, 2016Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the grunge-rock band Nirvana known best for their hit \"\" Smells Like Teen Spirit ,\"\" died on April 5, 1994, at the age of 27. Cobain's body was found in his Seattle home with a shotgun, a gunshot wound in the head and a handwritten note. Cobain's death was officially ruled as a suicide by Washington's Department of Health, but many, both immediately at the time and now, speculate that Cobain's death was actually a homicide. R ead more: Here's How Twitter Is Remembering Kurt Cobain on the 22nd Anniversary of His Death Kurt Cobain's suicide note Wikimedia Commons Retired private investigator and former detective Tom Grant is one of the more vocal theorists on Cobain's homicide. Grant was originally hired by Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, after Cobain was reported missing from rehab on April 1, 1994. Grant alleges that Love and Michael Dewitt, Cobain and Love's nanny for daughter Frances, were involved in Cobain's death. Grant's investigation inspired 2015's Soaked in Bleach, a docudrama that details Cobain's death, as well as the inconsistencies of the investigation reported by officials. Still, many of Cobain's friends have accepted that Cobain committed suicide. Speaking to Rolling Stone in June 1994, Screaming Trees band member and longtime friend of Cobain's Mark Lanegan said he didn't hear from Cobain the week of his death. \"\""

A coma is caused by injury to either the cerebral cortex or the reticular activating system. It is a serious medical condition that creates brain irregularity and causes people to experience post-traumatic amnesia. Depending on the length of the coma, patients will suffer a different recovery time. If you have experienced a coma, it generally means that you have gone through a life changing event. Many people are intrigued by the stories of people who have been in a coma and returned to life. In some cases, bright lights and vivid dreams are reported. Almost everyone who has experienced a coma comes out of the experience with a different outlook on life, often time not fearing death and making life changes. This article will examine ten celebrities who experienced a coma and lived to tell the story. Some notable people who were considered for the list, but left out include Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, who fell into a coma after getting spinal meningitis in 1970."

Their music was an offshoot of punk and alternative rock and was labeled grunge rock by the mainstream press and media of the time. Nirvana were the first band know as \"\"grunge\"\" to achieve multiplatinum success, ushering in the era of Alternative Music which dominated music in the first half of the 90's. Kurt Cobain (vocals, guitar) met Chris Novoselic (born Krist Novoselic) (bass). The group disbanded in 1994 upon the death of its leader, Kurt Cobain. Many critics and historians hail Nirvana as the \"\"flagship band\"\" of \"\"Generation X\"\". Cobain and Krist Novoselic met in 1985. Both were fans of The Melvins, and both were interested in forming a band. They worked with a series of drummers (Aaron Burckhard, Dan Peters and Dale Crover of The Melvins, who played on their first demos), before settling on Chad Channing.

She discovered Radium and Polonium, defining their atomic weight and their place in the periodic system, and she was the first to discover methods for extracting pure Radium salts and metal. Marie Curie, who first coined the term \"\"radioactivity\"\", was key in developing methods for quantitatively measuring radioactivity and for discovering its effect on living cells. Curie was twice awarded the Nobel Prize, first in 1903 in Physics and then again in 1911 in the field of Chemistry. She was the first person ever to be awarded two Nobel Prizes, and along with Linus Pauling, is one of only two to have done so in two separate fields. In addition, Curie was the first woman in history to earn a Ph. D. at a French university. She is in general remembered for her scientific brilliance and for her diligence and perseverance in the face of tremendous discrimination and hardship. Marie Curie was born Maria Sklodowska on 7 November 1867 in Warsaw, in what was then the Russian Empire, with Poland having been divided up amongst various European nations due to war and subsequent treaties. When she was only 10 years old her mother died of tuberculosis, a short time after her elder sister had died of typhus."

Besides radium, Marie Curie also discovered a new substance polonium, which she named after her native homeland of Poland. In 1903, Marie and Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel all received the Nobel Prize in physics for their research on radiation. Marie Curie was the first woman to ever receive the Nobel Prize.

"text": "\"How the Curie Came to Be Paul W. Frame Professional Training Programs , Oak Ridge Associated Universities This story appeared in two parts in the October and November 1996 issues of the Health Physics Society's Newsletter Part One Ernest Rutherford could be forgiven for thinking that his main job as Chairman of the Radium Standards Committee was flattering its members and seeming to say one thing while meaning another. It was a dirty job. But somebody had to do it if the Committee’s mission, the establishment of an international radium standard, was to be accomplished. Rutherford’s problem: Marie Curie would have to be the one to prepare the standard and she would want to retain possession— something most of the Committee’s members would find unacceptable. They would want the standard to become the property of the Committee and be preserved at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures near Paris. Skids had to be greased. Fortunately, grease was available. Another of the Committee’s tasks was to straighten out the nomenclature dealing with radioactive substances. Why not create a new unit and name it the curie? Two birds, one stone!The historical roots of what became the original definition of the curie probably lie in a recommendation made in 1904 by Bertram Boltwood (the U. S. representative on the Committee) that the amount of radon from one gram of uranium in an old mineral be taken as a standard (Badash 1979)."

"text": "\"History of Radiography X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1845-1923) who was a Professor at Wuerzburg University in Germany. Working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory, Roentgen observed a fluorescent glow of crystals on a table near his tube. The tube that Roentgen was working with consisted of a glass envelope (bulb) with positive and negative electrodes encapsulated in it. The air in the tube was evacuated, and when a high voltage was applied, the tube produced a fluorescent glow. Roentgen shielded the tube with heavy black paper, and discovered a green colored fluorescent light generated by a material located a few feet away from the tube. He concluded that a new type of ray was being emitted from the tube. This ray was capable of passing through the heavy paper covering and exciting the phosphorescent materials in the room. He found that the new ray could pass through most substances casting shadows of solid objects. Roentgen also discovered that the ray could pass through the tissue of humans, but not bones and metal objects. One of Roentgen's first experiments late in 1895 was a film of the hand of his wife, Bertha."

Musée Curie/ACJC Collection Just after Christmas of 1938, a young woman named Marguerite Perey — then 29, with a plain, open face, her eyes intent upon her work — sat at a bench in the Radium Institute of Paris, a brick mansion near the Jardin du Luxembourg. In a glass vessel, she examined fluid containing metal salts. She carefully dosed it with lead and hydrogen sulfide, then with barium, causing the solution to separate into different substances. She was in the final stages of purifying actinium, one of the rarest and most dangerous elements yet discovered, from uranium ore. Ten tons of ore yielded just one or two milligrams of actinium; Perey, who joined the institute as a teenager to be the personal technician for Marie Curie, was an expert in its isolation."

More about the Nobel Prize: The Curie family has a combined total of five Nobel Prizes. In addition to Pierre's and Marie's prizes, daughter Irene and her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, shared the 1935 Chemistry prize, and daughter Eve’s husband, Henry Richardson Labouisse Jr., received the 1965 Peace prize on behalf of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Nobel Prizes are given each year on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist who willed his estate to fund the prizes.

Well, uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element on earth. It is a metal, like all other metals, except that it had no commercial value before the mid-twentieth century. Until the last fifty years it was produced only as a byproduct. Thus the entire history of the mining of uranium has taken place during my lifetime. Moreover, a great deal of it has occurred in my homeland, Canada, which was the first country to produce and process uranium as such. The first uranium processed by Canada was used to produce nuclear explosives for the atomic bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945."

[ The Panthéon did, indeed, already contain the ashes of one woman, but only as the wife of the chemist and politician Marcellin Berthelot.] It is an injustice which President François Mitterrand sought to put right by transferring to the Panthéon the ashes of the physicist and chemist Marie Curie, and those of her husband.

"text": "By Marcia Bartusiak November 11, 2011With my first glance at “ Radioactive ” — the physical book — I was enchanted. Its textured cover, luminescent colors and oversize dimensions generated a feeling that I hadn’t felt since I was a child: that anticipatory thrill as you prepare to turn the pages of a new book and savor each picture and its accompanying text. Writer and artist Lauren Redniss has created a unique work difficult to categorize. A blend of original art, photographs, graphics and text, “Radioactive” — the first “visual book” to be named a finalist for the National Book Award in nonfiction — is meant to be both read and experienced. She even created a typeface that makes you think the printed words were done by hand. Her subject is Marie Curie, the most iconic of women scientists, and her husband, Pierre. The facts of their lives have been distilled to the absolute essence, yet embellished with well-chosen quotations that establish the emotional currents the couple experienced as the years progressed. Each lost an early love — he in France, she in Poland — a fate that emboldened Marie to flee to Paris to study mathematics and physics at the Sorbonne, one of 23 women out of a student body of 1,800. Soon after graduating, she met her future husband, a fellow physicist, at a tea in 1894. “ I noticed the grave and gentle expression of his face,” she recalled, “as well as a certain abandon in his attitude, suggesting the dreamer absorbed in his reflections.”"

She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father. She became involved in a students' revolutionary organization and found it prudent to leave Warsaw, then in the part of Poland dominated by Russia, for Cracow, which at that time was under Austrian rule. In 1891, she went to Paris to continue her studies at the Sorbonne where she obtained Licenciateships in Physics and the Mathematical Sciences. She met Pierre Curie, Professor in the School of Physics in 1894 and in the following year they were married. She succeeded her husband as Head of the Physics Laboratory at the Sorbonne, gained her Doctor of Science degree in 1903, and following the tragic death of Pierre Curie in 1906, she took his place as Professor of General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences, the first time a woman had held this position. She was also appointed Director of the Curie Laboratory in the Radium Institute of the University of Paris, founded in 1914. See Also Video: Marie Curie in her laboratory Frequently asked questions Article about the Curies Her early researches, together with her husband, were often performed under difficult conditions, laboratory arrangements were poor and both had to undertake much teaching to earn a livelihood.

"text": "\"Marie Curie: The Discovery of Radium Introduction: Marie Curie was a remarkable scientist who devoted her life to investigation of radioactivity, and was the first among many scientists to recognize that radioactivity is the result of changes in the atoms of an element. Marie Curie wondered what was radiation and how might understanding it benefit the human race. Throughout her investigations Marie Curie learned many things about radioactivity that proved the field to be extremely worthy of study. The largest controversy that surrounded Curie and her investigations of radioactivity is that she was a women in a time when women were not scientists. Ultimately, Marie Curie and her studies of radioactivity helped to open the field of atomic physics for study, while simultaneously opening doors for women in the field of science. Background Information: Marie Curie worked with her partner and husband Pierre during most of her life as a scientist. Perhaps the most significant work that Marie did was a few years following her marriage to Pierre . Much of Curie’s first work was on the study of magnetism; however as she researched magnetism a German physicist named Willliam Rontgen cathode rays outside of the typical cathode ray tubes that were commonly used. Rontgen, as well as many other scientists of the time, was experimenting with how thick of a surface cathode rays could penetrate. Rontgen gave the mysterious rays that could seemingly penetrate solid objects the name X-Rays, and he traveled the world demonstrating their fascinating properties."

Flag What did Marie Curie discover? Answer by Pr77x Confidence votes 9.2KMarie Curie is famous for discovering the element Radium, previously unknown. The history of this is an interesting progression, like so much in science. The physicist Roentgen discovered X-rays, and found that they would pass through solid matter, and also that they would affect photographic plates. The scientist Becquerel discovered that a mineral called pitchblende would affect these plates even through their wrappers, and suspected that the mineral was producing X-rays. This was puzzling, because Roentgen made X-rays using high voltages in a vacuum chamber, while pitchblende just sat there but somehow did the trick. Curie thought that there must be something unknown in pitchblende. She bought tons of it, and started trying to isolate something else from it. Eventually she managed to get a few grams of something from the tons of original stuff."

"text": "\"The discovery of radium How are new elements discovered? These days, it is through deliberate, concerted effort in a known direction: the only empty spots in the periodic table are all at the high end, at atomic numbers above 105 (or 108, or whatever the current value is). Physicists know that if they bombard heavy elements with energetic nuclei, they may very occasionally create a very heavy nucleus; and, if such nuclei should last long enough to build up a macroscopic sample of material, they may measure the properties of a new element. It is hard work, but follows a clear path with a well defined goal. Back in the old days, however, life was not so simple. The periodic table was still a work in progress: there were plenty of gaps and holes, as well as puzzling inconsistencies. More important, there was no theory to guide scientists in their work: the nature of atoms and nuclei was not yet understood at the turn of the twentieth century. Chemists and physicists did not know that there were exactly 30 distinct elements between hydrogen and zinc, or that helium would have exactly five siblings among the (stable) noble gases. Let us look at the discovery of the elements polonium and radium : they were tentatively announced by the team of Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and Gustave Bemont in 1898. It was four more years, however, until Marie Curie was able to isolate a pure enough sample of radium to measure some of its properties."

Curie was a pioneer in researching radioactivity, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911. Curie never worked on the Manhattan Project, but her contributions to the study of radium and radiation were instrumental to the future development of the atomic bomb. Early Years Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland on November 7, 1867, which was then part of the Russian Empire. University education for women was not available in Russia at the time, so Curie left to pursue her degrees at the University of Paris in 1891. The beginning of her scientific career was an investigation of the magnetic properties of various steels. In Paris, she also met her husband Pierre Curie. While she tried to return to work in Poland in 1894, she was denied a place at Krakow University because of her gender and returned to Paris to pursue her Ph. D. Scientific Contributions Adopting the study of Henri Becquerel's discovery of radiation in uranium as her thesis topic, Curie began the systematic study of other elements to see if there were others that also emitted this strange energy. Within days she discovered that thorium also emitted radiation, and further, that the amount of radiation depended upon the amount of element present in the compound."

Characters [ edit]Tom ( Brian Stepanek) is the father of the quadruplets. It is a running gag in the series that he cares more about his possessions than his children, but he loves his family and is a kid at heart.

He is shown to be quite comedic, quirky, and easily confused."

For the first time in a decade, Utah has a major television series filming in the Beehive State. It's from the Disney Channel and is getting ready to wrap its first season of filming a brand new show. A TV series brings and keeps jobs to Utah. This time around, fingers are crossed, the new \"\"Andi Mack\"\" show will be just as successful as Utah’s nine-season run of \"\"Touched By an Angel,\"\" or the most recent Utah series \"\"Everwood\"\" that aired on CW. Disney is shaking up TV for tweens with \"\"Andi Mack,\"\" a single camera series -- shot like a motion picture. The new show about teen life is centered around 13-year-old Andi Mack, who finds herself questioning everything she's ever known. The shake up happens after her older sister returns home unexpectedly. “This is definitely very different - it's a lot more real situations that kids these days go through.”"

Photo: Getty Images Maddie Ziegler has big things lined up for when her long run on “Dance Moms” comes to an end Tuesday, but what about her little sister Mackenzie? From dancing to acting and singing, it’s clear 11-year-old Mackenzie Ziegler is a triple threat. However, her post-reality TV career is not as clear as Maddie’s. Fortunately for Mack Z fans, it doesn’t appears her family’s decision to leave “Dance Moms” will stop her from shining. Mackenzie appeared to re-launch her You Tube channel in March. She first made the channel, which has over 1.45 million views, in October 2015. Recent videos include baking tutorials with mom Melissa Gisoni and a rundown of her nighttime routine. Mackenzie’s music You Tube channel Mack Z has also been kept up to date; the reality star has posted vlogs, makeup and dance tutorials in recent months."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Paddington Bear Bronze statue of Paddington Bear, by sculptor Marcus Cornish, at Paddington Station First appearance13 October 1958\"\"A Bear Called Paddington\"\"Created by Michael Bond Paddington and Company (now subsidiary of Studio Canal)Information Species Bear Gender Male Family Mary Henry Jonathan Judy Brown Mrs Bird Relatives Uncle Pastuzo Aunt Lucy Nationality Peruvian Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children's literature. He first appeared on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists. [ 1] The friendly bear from Peru —with his old hat, battered suitcase (complete with a secret compartment, enabling it to hold more items than it would appear to), duffle coat and love of marmalade —has become a classic character from English children's literature. [ 2] Paddington books have been translated into 30 languages across 70 titles and sold more than 30 million copies worldwide. A much loved fictional character in British culture, a Paddington Bear soft toy was chosen by British tunnellers as the first item to pass through to their French counterparts when the two sides of the Channel Tunnel were linked in 1994. [ 3]Paddington is an anthropomorphised spectacled bear. He is always polite – addressing people as \"\"Mr\"\", \"\"Mrs\"\" and \"\"Miss\"\", rarely by first names – and kindhearted, though he inflicts hard stares on those who incur his disapproval. He has an endless capacity for innocently getting into trouble, but he is known to \"\"try so hard to get things right.\"\" He was discovered in Paddington Station, London, by the (human) Brown family who adopted him, and thus he gives his full name as \"\"Paddington Brown\"\". As of June 2016, Paddington Bear and its copyright and trademark across the world are now owned by Vivendi 's Studio Canal."

The maximum cash fare you can be charged for a single journey is £7.40 - this is what will happen if you don't touch in/out correctly. Zones 1-6 has a daily price cap of £15.00 peak or £8.00 off-peak per adult. These are the same prices as Travelcards. Check the TFL website for child prices as these depend on age and whether the children have photocards etc."

( 1941). ( Photo by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images)by Jennifer Rosenberg Updated January 01, 2018In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery from an already discarded, contaminated Petri dish. The mold that had contaminated the experiment turned out to contain a powerful antibiotic, penicillin. However, though Fleming was credited with the discovery, it was over a decade before someone else turned penicillin into the miracle drug that has helped save millions of lives. Dirty Petri Dishes On a September morning in 1928, Alexander Fleming sat at his workbench at St. Mary's Hospital after having just returned from a vacation at the Dhoon (his country house) with his family. Before he had left on vacation, Fleming had piled a number of his Petri dishes to the side of the bench so that Stuart R. Craddock could use his workbench while he was away. Back from vacation, Fleming was sorting through the long unattended stacks to determine which ones could be salvaged. Many of the dishes had been contaminated. Fleming placed each of these in an ever-growing pile in a tray of Lysol."

[ 5] An original character created by producer Donald P. Bellisario, he is credited in 306 episodes of the series, appearing in 305. He has also made guest appearances on the spin-offs NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans. Tony is scripted as the senior field agent of the fictional Major Case Response Team (MCRT) led by Gibbs. A former police detective, he is athletic and charismatic —at least, when not being snarky/smarmy—he describes himself as a former jock, and often leads crime scene investigations; when not at work he is a movie buff. Over the course of the show, he carries a few storylines, namely an undercover assignment that carries through Season 4 and into Season 5. In general overview, he is renowned for providing comic relief for an otherwise serious drama show, regularly spouting movie trivia, and, especially in the early seasons, being a womanizer who fears commitment. The death of Sasha Alexander 's character, Ex-Secret Service Agent turned NCIS agent Caitlin Todd, in the second-season finale and his relationship with Cote de Pablo 's character, Mossad officer turned NCIS agent Ziva David, who is introduced in the third season, becomes fundamental to his subtle shift in attitude."

Large amounts of the the neighborhood are comprised of residential areas with original Victorian architecture, cobbled streets, and colorful mews. Pubs The atmosphere of the neighborhood lends itself well to supporting numerous traditional pubs. Many of them have a history and a legend or two attached about famous events or famous customers frequenting the bar. Fountains Abbey - Fountains Abbey is a Victorian pub, with traditional decor and Taylor Walker classic pub menu. Relax by the magnificent fireplace with a cask ale or glass of red. Dickens - As you might imagine, a traditional pub named Dickens is decorated with a Charles Dickens theme on the interior, leading from a quaint-looking exterior. Grab a pint and relax awhile in the cosy atmosphere - you might even be inspired to start a novel. The Victoria - Built at the same time as Paddington Station and supposedly renamed after Queen Victoria stopped by, The Victoria is a grand traditional pub. A few well-known writers have also sat in the pub to write masterpieces - maybe your writing will be just as inspired."

Hyde Park is technically divided into two parts by the Serpentine Lake: the original Hyde Park area and Kensington Gardens. The park has become a traditional location for mass demonstrations. The Chartists, the Reform League, the Suffragettes and the Stop The War Coalition have all held protests here through the ages, and many protestors on the Liberty and Livelihood March in 2002 began their route from Hyde Park. It's also been the venue for some famous rock concerts, including the world famous Live 8 concert series, and every summer some of the biggest bands take part in Hard Rock Calling, a weekend festival in June. The park will play its part in the London Olympics in 2012, hosting the triathlon and the 10 km open water swimming events. The W2 area is also notable for the Paddington Railway Station, a mammoth terminus for train services to the west of England, including the Heathrow Express.

Discussion in ' transport ' started by Pip, Nov 20, 2006 . Page 1 of 21 2 Next >Pip Well-Known Member One day when I was at school, a British Transport Police Officer came in and gave a talk about the kind of thing him and his colleagues do. For some reason, he asked the class if anyone knew what the shortest distance between two stops was, and which stops they were. I'm assuming he meant on the same line. I suggested loads, including Covent Garden to Leicester Square, and Tottenham Court Road to Oxford Circus, but they were all wrong, and what's more he wouldn't tell me what the answer was Urbanites, this question has been troubling me for over ten years. Every single time I make a tube journey it's at the forefront of my mind, niggling away and bugging me."

"text": "Edit Article How to Visit Windsor Castle in England Windsor Castle is one of the most famous castles in the United Kingdom, and a major tourist attraction in Great Britain. Located in the town of Windsor, Berkshire (southeast England), the castle brings in nearly one million tourists a year. One of the best preserved medieval castles in the world, this beautiful castle is fit for a Queen -- so fit in fact, that indeed, it is one of the three official residences of the British monarchy. This article explains how to visit this castle, and how to make the trip worthwhile. Steps1 Know what you're visiting. Naturally, it helps to have a bit of background information on what you're visiting before you arrive. Windsor Castle is, obviously, a castle. But it isn't just any castle. It is, perhaps, one of the most beautifully preserved castles in all of Britain with a history spanning several centuries. Originally built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century to defend Norman invaded Britain, the castle has since served many purposes."

"text": "Notes: The Great Western Railway (GWR) had served Birmingham since 1 October 1852, their main station being at Snow Hill. By the early twentieth century Birmingham Snow Hill was seriously congested and a re-build was undertaken from 1909 to 1912. Due to the limited space available at Snow Hill the rebuild could not solve all of the problems, so the GWR purchased land at Moor Street so they could build a new station for the local services that came into the city from the south. The construction of Birmingham Moor Street was authorised under the GWR (New Works) Act of 1908 and building works began during September of that year. The station opened on 1 July 1909, comprising of a single island platform 700ft in length with two faces, and temporary buildings housing the usual staff and passenger accommodation. The permanent station buildings would not be authorised until 1911 due to the building of a low level goods station directly below the station. The station was located to the east of the street after which it was named and to the west of the London and Birmingham GWR main line. A short branch (the Moor Street branch) connected the station to the main line. To relieve congestion on the southerly approaches extra relief lines were laid from Bordesley through to Moor Street, opening on 16 November 1913. With the completion of work on the low level goods facility during 1914 the temporary staff and passenger accommodation was replaced with permanent structures."

[ 1] David Blum wrote the article after witnessing several young actors (Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, and Judd Nelson) being mobbed by groupies at Los Angeles' Hard Rock Cafe. [ 2] The group has been characterized by the partying of members such as Robert Downey Jr., Estevez, Lowe, and Nelson.

"text": "Patrick Swayze with his wife Lisa Niemi in 2005. Source: News Limited PATRICK Swayze’s wife has been forced to deny extraordinary claims she repeatedly beat her husband throughout their marriage. The late actor was married to his former dance partner Lisa Niemi for 34 years before losing his battle with pancreatic cancer in September 2009. The Dirty Dancing star was 57 when he died. US gossip website Radar Online is reporting that Swayze was the victim of domestic violence, saying Niemi was “abusive” towards her husband, even when he was dying of cancer. “She [Niemi] would beat on him and he would beat on the walls and furniture. They fought and I covered up a lot of that — they destroyed hotel rooms, cars, their house …. It was abusive,” an unnamed longtime friend of the couple is quoted in the article. The childhood sweethearts met when they were 15 years old and were widely considered to have one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood. The website also reports that Niemi had “several affairs with both men and women” during their marriage."

S. A. 1984 (Movie)choreography (Choreographer)Biography Patrick Swayze was a Texas-born movie actor whose background in ballet and gymnastics ironically gave him a physique well-suited for his roles as hunky love interest or macho action film hero. His early roles as the only slightly older patriarchal figure of his onscreen teenage families in films like \"\"The Outsiders\"\" (1983) and \"\"Red Dawn\"\" (1984) helped put the heartthrob on the map and on the cover of many a Tiger Beat fan magazine in the early 1980s. But it was only a few years before the teen became a man and it was in these more adult roles that the actor made his mark. He never surpassed the popularity of his earnest, romantic blockbusters \"\"Dirty Dancing\"\" (1987) and \"\"Ghost\"\" (1990), but after suffering bouts of alcoholism and removing himself from Hollywood altogether, he seemed to regain new perspective that would raise the bar for his future acting endeavors. If nothing else, his utterance of the line - \"\"Nobody puts Baby in the corner\"\" - from \"\"Dirty Dancing\"\" guaranteed big screen immortality. But it was his battle against pancreatic cancer for almost two years that would inspire the public and galvanize the actor to bravely give his final performance on A&E's dark drama series, \"\"The Beast.\"\" In a year unparalleled in Hollywood loss, Swayze would pass away on Sept. 14, 2009.

"text": "\"How Doctors Tell Patients They're Dying By Emily Cohen March 7, 2008Email Telling patients they're going to die is less dramatic than one might think, and contrary to popular belief, most doctors refuse to estimate how many weeks or months patients have left to live. While initial reports of Patrick Swayze's pancreatic cancer diagnosis came with predictions that the star would have only five weeks to live, the actor's doctor quickly released a statement refuting the rumors. \"\" Patrick has a very limited amount of disease, and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far,\"\" Dr. George Fisher, Swayze's physician, said in the statement. \"\" All the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic. \"\" Putting a time stamp on someone's life, several doctors told ABCNEWS.com, is something that few doctors are willing to do. Instead, they employ much more methodical and caring techniques of breaking the news to terminally ill patients. \"\" It's not [a doctor's] job to take away hope but to try to provide support and be realistic as possible,\"\" said Dr. Michael Grodin, the director of medical ethics at Boston University School of Medicine and Public Health. \"\" We are notoriously bad at predicting how much time a patient has left. \"\" You can obviously say that if someone has metastatic cancer that it's unlikely they're going to live for years,\"\" said Grodin, who said that it's always \"\"very tough\"\" to tell a patient he is dying. \"\""

You had illegal abortions, Ayn Rand and class structures in 1960's America - it wasn't just two hours of that Lover Boy scene, y'know... PATRICK SWAYZE - 'Johnny Castle'With Dirty Dancing being an instant success, it galvanised Swayze's status in the late 80's and early 90's as a heart-throb and even gained him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor for the role of Johnny Castle. He went on to star in cheesy-classics Road House, Ghost and our favourite, Point Break. As well as this, Swayze was a keen breeder of Arabian horses and put his career on hiatus during the 90's to devote his time to his. However, in late 2008, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died shortly after. He was survived by his wife of 35 years, Lisa Niemi-Swayze. JENNIFER GREY - 'Frances \"\"Baby\"\" Houseman'After the huge success of Dirty Dancing, Jennifer Grey's career seemed to catapult her straight into the A-List. For some reason, however, it just didn't happen for her. Why's that, you ask? In 1989, two years after Dirty Dancing was released, she had plastic surgery on her nose - which, by all accounts, was a complete success."

"text": "“Dirty Dancing” premiered on this day, 27 years ago. The movie was not supposed to be successful. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey apparently hated each other from their previous collaboration in “Red Dawn.” An original main sponsor of the film, Clearasil, backed out when writer and producer Eleanor Bergstein refused to cut the film’s abortion subplot. Test screenings were a disaster. But the film prevailed and ended up having a worldwide gross of just under $214 million dollars on top of winning an Oscar and multiple Grammys for the music. The soundtrack even beat both Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen on the charts. Nobody puts “Dirty Dancing” in a corner, and that’s why today it’s still one of the greatest films of all time. You already know Baby’s all right. Here’s what you didn’t know.1."

"text": "\"Contributed by: Monique The \"\"giggle\"\" scene is so priceless, because it was very real. During filming, Jennifer was laughing and Patrick really was frustrated with her. Thankfully the filmmakers had the sense of fun to leave it in to add this wonderful moment. Jennifer Grey was said to have disrupted filming on several occasions by her behaviour, so to be fair to her it should be said that here Swayze strokes right through her armpit and she was very ticklish! But she got over it and the result is one of the most beautifully erotic scenes in the film. Contributed by: Alicia Patrick Swayze, when he made the film Dirty Dancing was really 35, he was supposed to be 25. Jennifer Grey was really 27 years old!Contributed by: Michelle Jennifer and Patrick actually bumped heads when shooting one of the dance sequences; it wasn't scripted but they liked it so much they left it in. Rewind Archive Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze worked on \"\"Dirty Dancing\"\" immediately after finishing \"\" Red Dawn \"\". They had not got on during the making of that movie and had to be pursuaded to work together again. Contributed by: Jenna Jewelson While in production Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey often fought behind the scences, but when the cameras began filming they put aside their anger and pretended to be lovers."

"text": "\"Home Journalism 20 Longest-Running Network TV Shows Still On the Air Journalism TV & Entertainment20 Longest-Running Network TV Shows Still On the Air Patrick Sep 26, 13 4 comments ABC CBS Journalism NBC PBS TV“Premiere week” is well underway; it’s that time of year when the new television season begins and shows return to answer the questions left behind in last May’s cliffhangers. Here’s a list of the 20 longest-running television shows on the broadcast networks. Years ago, when a new television show premiered, it was given time — sometimes more than it deserved — to evolve and grow an audience. Back in the days in which there were only three or four channels to choose from, a show could run for half a season or more, even with somewhat lousy ratings, but still have a chance to return the following season. All in the Family is a perfect example: CBS was reportedly so nervous about the adult topics this satirical sitcom planned to tackle that it added a disclaimer to the beginning of the first few episodes and buried the show in its schedule, hoping it’d do well, but fearing a backlash. But it went along fairly quietly, eclipsed by the competition until summer reruns came along: that’s when viewers who’d been watching their favorite shows on the competing channels while All in the Family was airing its first few shows, found the program and became hooked. That was then. Nowadays, shows can disappear after a single episode if the ratings aren’t good enough. The higher cost of producing a television series these days combines with the higher level of competition channels face, and the result is that TV executives can’t afford to give a show a full season to “find itself” anymore. The All in the Family story makes one wonder how many other gems never had the chance to become classics."

"text": "\"Swayze: Outlived Most With Pancreatic Cancer By JOSEPH BROWNSTEINABC NEWS MEDICAL UNITSept. 16, 2009Email Patrick Swayze passed away Monday at the age of 57, but his 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer showed how tough the disease is -- and how unusual it is for people to survive with it as long as he did. When Swayze was diagnosed, he was given a few months to live. \"\" The median survival is probably five months,\"\" said Dr. Lucas Wong, co-director of the gastrointestinal cancer program at Scott & White Memorial Hospital & Clinic in Temple, Texas. Wong's assessment was confirmed by several other oncologists who work with pancreatic cancer patients. Playnull Wong said that five months represents the median survival time, so half of all patients would be expected to live beyond that time. In Swayze's case, other factors would suggest he would outlive five months. For one, Swayze really seemed to benefit from his regimen of chemotherapy, typically administered to pancreatic cancer patients in a drug called gemcitabine. \"\" There are people who do better than others, even those with advanced disease,\"\" said Dr. Suresh Chari, a gastroenterologist specializing in pancreatic cancer at the Mayo Clinic. \"\" Almost all chemotherapy agents ... do benefit some subset of patients. \"\""

"text": "\"In the later years of his career, Chris Farley’s physical comedy became more and more a form of self-flagellation. Photograph by NBC via Getty Chris Farley, who died in 1997, at the age of thirty-three, from an overdose of opiates and cocaine, was the greatest physical comedian of his generation, a manic cannonball who could appear surprisingly athletic one moment and perilously ungainly the next, as likely to pull off a nifty cartwheel as he was to obliterate a piece of furniture. He was always big—plainly and dangerously overweight, owing in part to his genes and in part to his massive appetites for food and alcohol—and his thick neck and huge gut, stacked atop a pair of comparatively dainty legs, were a central part of his appeal. He shouted big, sweated big, laughed big, and fell down big. These gifts were perhaps most obviously on display in the famous \"\"Saturday Night Live\"\" Chippendales sketch, from October, 1990, during Farley's first season on the show. In it, he plays an aspiring dancer, squaring off against Patrick Swayze for the last spot in a male revue. Dancing to the Loverboy hit \"\"Working for the Weekend,\"\" Farley tore off his shirt and matched Swayze move for move—flying pirouettes, proto-twerking—to the shrieking delight of the audience. The joke of the sketch, as it was, came in the final moments, when a panel of judges bluntly confirmed what was obvious from the start: they were picking Swayze's character because of his great body. Farley's character, meanwhile, had the \"\"sexiest moves,\"\" but was judged too \"\"fat and flabby\"\" for Chippendales. A new documentary, \"\"I Am Chris Farley,\"\" which débuts Monday night on Spike TV, frames the sketch as an unqualified triumph, the moment when Farley became a national star."

Until recent years, pancreatic cancer did not have much of a place in public consciousness, but a number of high-profile people with the disease -- Jobs in particular -- have raised awareness about the lethal disease, which claims the lives of 95% of those diagnosed within five years. The American Cancer Society estimates that 37,680 Americans (18,770 men and 18,910 women) will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2008. About 34,290 Americans (17,500 men and 16,790 women) will die of pancreatic cancer in 2008, making it the fourth deadliest cancer. Here are some other people who succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Patrick Swayze, of Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse fame, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January 2008, and died on Sept. 14, 2009 at age 57. Swayze's cancer had spread to his liver by the time he was diagnosed, and he went through intense treatment but no surgery. Joan Crawford died of a heart attack while suffering from pancreatic cancer on May 8, 1977 - nearly three years after her final public appearance. There are few details available about her disease, but it is known that the actress was in declining health during the 1970s, and some believe heavy drinking may have been a factor."

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey apparently hated each other from their previous collaboration in “Red Dawn.” An original main sponsor of the film, Clearasil, backed out when writer and producer Eleanor Bergstein refused to cut the film’s abortion subplot. Test screenings were a disaster. But the film prevailed and ended up having a worldwide gross of just under $214 million dollars on top of winning an Oscar and multiple Grammys for the music. The soundtrack even beat both Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen on the charts. Nobody puts “Dirty Dancing” in a corner, and that’s why today it’s still one of the greatest films of all time.

"text": "\"President Obama announced Friday that the U. S. will complete its drawdown of troops by the end of the year, concluding the war in Iraq after almost nine years. Obama, who sprang to national prominence with his condemnation of the war begun by his predecessor, declared in the White House briefing room that \"\"after nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over. \"\" The president spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki earlier Friday, and Obama said the two leaders are in \"\"full agreement about how to move forward. \"\" ADVERTISEMENT Obama said he invited Maliki to the White House in December to discuss the \"\"normal\"\" relationship the two nations will now enjoy. \"\" This will be a strong and enduring partnership,\"\" Obama said. Obama's announcement that all troops will return by year's end fulfills a campaign promise and begins to close the book on one of the longest U. S. military conflicts in history. National Security Council aide Denis Mc Donough said about 3,000 to 4,000 security contractors would stay in Iraq, but that all troops, beyond the standard deployment of Marines that usually guard U. S. embassies, would be gone by the end of the year. Obama said he would guarantee that the troops in Iraq would be \"\"home for the holidays. \"\" When asked if this was the \"\"Mission: Accomplished\"\" moment, Mc Donough said: \"\"I'll let you check your thesaurus. \"\" Republicans suggested Obama's decision could haunt the U. S., and Mitt Romney, a frontrunner in the GOP presidential contest, hit Obama for what he said was either a \"\"naked political calculation\"\" or the result of inept negotiations."

"text": "From the moment Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he began to disappoint those who had believed in his message of change. He appointed entrenched Washington insiders to his Cabinet. He put Wall Street bankers in charge of regulating Wall Street banks. He compromised with Republicans on the economic stimulus, slowing the recovery for millions of Americans. He refused to push for universal health care, and deported two million immigrants. He failed to shut down Guantanamo, dispatched another 60,000 troops to Afghanistan, and launched hundreds of drone strikes that killed countless civilians. Today, income inequality continues to rise, and big banks are bigger than ever, and student debt has hit a record $1 trillion. Democrats have not only lost control of every branch of the federal government, they are weaker at the state level than at any point since 1920. Those who thought they had elected a bold and inspiring populist were surprised to find him replaced by a cautious and deliberate pragmatist. Now, eight years later, many of Obama’s critics suddenly find themselves yearning for the euphoria that accompanied his election, and fearing for the small but significant progress he made on a host of fronts: equal pay, expanded health care, nuclear nonproliferation, global warming."

"text": "John C. Calhoun: He Started the Civil Warfacebook twitter linkedin pinterest print6/12/2006 • Civil War Times, Politics, States Rights Slavery was the foundation of the antebellum South. More than any other characteristic, it defined Southern social, political, and cultural life. It also unified the South as a section distinct from the rest of the nation. John C. Calhoun, the South’s recognized intellectual and political leader from the 1820s until his death in 1850, devoted much of his remarkable intellectual energy to defending slavery. He developed a two-point defense. One was a political theory that the rights of a minority section — in particular, the South — needed special protecting in the federal union. The second was an argument that presented slavery as an institution that benefited all involved. Calhoun’s commitment to those two points and his efforts to develop them to the fullest would assign him a unique role in American history as the moral, political, and spiritual voice of Southern separatism. Despite the fact that he never wanted the South to break away from the United States as it would a decade after his death, his words and life’s work made him the father of secession. In a very real way, he started the American Civil War."

"text": "Voice Make No Mistake — the United States Is at War in Yemen The White House just doesn’t want to admit it. By Micah Zenko | March 30, 2015, 6:59 PMThe Obama administration revealed that the United States was participating in yet another Middle East military intervention via a press release from the spokesperson of the National Security Council (NSC). This time, it’s Yemen. Late Wednesday evening, March 25, the White House posted a statement declaring: “President Obama has authorized the provision of logistical and intelligence support to GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council]-led military operations. ”There was no prime-time address by the president or secretary of defense — the only two people in the national command authority who can lawfully direct the U. S. military to engage in hostilities. There was no statement from the Department of Defense, the federal agency responsible for those armed forces providing the support to the GCC, or comment from U. S. Central Command, the combatant command whose geographic area of responsibility includes the GCC members and Yemen itself. Rather, the NSC spokesperson simply let us know. U. S. officials subsequently emphasized that aiding partner countries in their intervention into Yemen is simply “providing enabling support,” as Brig. Gen. Michael Fantini, Middle East principal director of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, told a House hearing last week. And the NSC made it clear that “U. S. forces are not taking direct military action in Yemen."

By Steven Rosenfeld / Alter Net April 24, 2013, 11:03 AM GMTPrint Comments Photo Credit: AFPOn Thursday, President Obama and all four living ex-presidents will attend the dedication of the $500 million George W. Bush Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Many progressives will remember Bush as a contender for the \"\"worst president ever,\"\" saying he more aptly deserves a multi-million-dollar prison cell for a litany of war crimes. Amazingly, the Bush library seeks to ask visitors \"\"What would you have done?\"\" if you were in this president’s shoes. The ex-president’s defenders are betting that the public will reconsider their judgments after a hefty dose of historical amnesia. Bush has been absent from political debates in recent years, instead making millions in private speeches. Today, his popularity is even with Obama's; both have 47 percent approval rating. Let’s look at 50 reasons, some large and some small, why W. inspired so much anger.1. He stole the presidency in 2000."

Nixon was a brilliant politician but remembered as a shady scumbag, even compared to other politicians. FDR elected 4 times but if it weren't for WWII his new deal would have destroyed America not to mention court packing is worse than what Nixon did. FDR = shadiest president every (adulterer, internment camps, undercutting his own party to win a 3rd term... ) Obama is the worst for the deficit so far of any president in history and he won a nobel prize because they hoped that he wouldn't vote on a troop surge, which he did anyway."

A few months ago on IVN, Wes Messamore explored the similarities between the two major party candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.100 Ways Republicans Are Just Like Democrats Here’s a look at the broader similarities between the Democratic and Republican parties:1. A large number of Democrats and Republicans signed the National Defense Authorization Act for the year 2012, which critics say allows for the indefinite detention of American citizens on U. S. soil without due process. President Obama pledged to veto the NDAA, but went back on his word and signed it into law with the indefinite detention provision included. Mitt Romney says that he would do the same. Follow IVNI accept IVN's terms and conditions?2. Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly favor Keynesian economics rather than other schools of economic thought such as the Austrian School of economics.3. The Bush-era Patriot Act, which allows for warrantless wiretapping, was passed with bipartisan support and recently extended by policymakers of both parties. Romney has voiced his support for the controversial legislation."

"text": "Trump Declares War on Russia Posted on February 14, 2017 by Eric Zuesse. Eric Zuesse U. S. President Donald Trump made unequivocally clear, on February 14th, that the new Cold War between the U. S. and Russia will continue until Russia complies with two conditions that would not only be humiliating to Russia (and to the vast majority of its citizens), but that would also be profoundly immoral. One of these two conditions would actually be impossible, even if it weren’t, in addition, immoral. For Vladimir Putin to agree to either of these two conditions, would not only be a violation of his often-expressed basic viewpoint, but it would also cause the vast majority of Russians to despise him — because they respect him for his consistent advocacy of that very viewpoint. He has never wavered from it. The support of Russians for that viewpoint is virtually universal. ( This article will explain the viewpoint. ) TRUMP’S DEMAND #1: “RETURN CRIMEA”In order to understand the Russian perspective on the first of these two issues (which any American must understand who wants to understand the astounding stupidity of Mr. Trump’s position on this matter), which is the issue of Crimea (which had for hundreds of years been part of Russia, but was then suddenly and arbitrarily transferred to Ukraine in 1954 by the Soviet dictator — and the U. S. now demands that his dictat regarding Crimea must be restored ), two videos are essential for anyone to see, and here they are: The first video (click here to see it) (and no one should read any further here who hasn’t seen that video or at least the first twelve minutes of it, because it’s crucial) shows the U. S.-engineered coup that violently overthrew the democratically elected President of Ukraine in February 2014, under the cover of ‘a democratic revolution’, which was actually nothing of the sort, and which had instead started being planned in the U. S. State Department by no later than 2011, and started being organized inside the U. S. Embassy in Kiev by no later than 1 March 2013. The head of the ‘private CIA’ firm Stratfor, has rightly called it “the most blatant coup in history”. The second video (click here to see it) shows the massacre of Crimeans who were escaping from Kiev during the Ukrainian coup, on 20 February 2014, and which massacre came to be known quickly in Crimea, as “the Pogrom of Korsun,” which was the town where the fascists whom the Obama regime had hired were able to trap the escapees and kill many of them."

"text": "Save for later A Question of Power: The Imperial Presidency By Jonathan Turley May 20, 2014 Twitter Facebook When James Madison shaped a new constitutional system for the United States, he and his fellow framers had one overriding fear: tyranny. They wanted to divide power between three branches and create lines of separation that prevented the concentration of power in any single branch. The framers based their ideas on an understanding of human nature – and human weakness. They tried to create a system in which ambition would check ambition. However, they knew that citizens can be distracted or deceived into giving up their very freedom. Madison warned future generations that “if Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” The framers knew how effective fear can be to induce citizens to give up their liberties. Recent years have proven them once again prophetic in their warnings. To this day, many Americans misunderstand the separation of powers as simply a division of authority between three branches of government. In fact, it was intended as a protection not of institutional but of individual rights, by preventing any branch from assuming enough power to become tyrannical."

Photograph: Gerald Herbert/AP10.46pm Obama's second inauguration: more relaxed and pragmatic So there we have it, let's wrap this liveblog up as the march-past continues and the bands play on. It was in many ways a more relaxed ceremony today, less overshadowed by economic gloom and incipient financial disaster than 2009, and with one war in Iraq ended and another, Afghanistan, in its final stretch of US involvement. The burden of history was also lighter, with the epoch-making fact of an African American president now a familiar matter. Obama's inaugural address was less lofty and more pragmatic than his effort four years ago – another symptom of four years in office and the realities of divided government in Washington. Obama made bold statements on climate change – the boldness perhaps being that he said anything at all on the subject, given the difficulty of effecting political change. There was also an historic placing of homosexual rights within the context of the wider civil rights movement, seamlessly weaving them together through a mention of the Stonewall riots of 1969 that triggered the modern movement for gays and lesbians. After so much bitter political fighting over the last two or even four years, a sign that there some small hope for prudential governing rather than battling. How long that mood lasts is the question.10.33pm Quirky historical note from the Associated Press: no Bushes or Clintons this time for the first time in decades: For the first time in more than three decades, there was neither a Clinton nor a Bush on either the departing or the incoming presidential ticket."

S. policy going forward,” Kaine said in a statement. “ I urge the administration to use the next two weeks to clearly define the strategy and objectives of its mission ... then bring it to Congress for a debate and authorization vote. ”President Obama knows the Constitution demands that. Before taking office, he was a U. S. senator and a lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, so he had expertise to draw upon when asked about the war power in 2007. \"\" The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,\"\" he told the Boston Globe. Yet twice in his present term, Obama has prepared to unilaterally order military strikes on Syria, in violation of both the law and his own previous notion of prudent policy. \"\" History has shown us time and again that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch,\"\" he declared in that same 2007 interview. \"\""

"text": "Politics | News Analysis Obama’s Dual View of War Power Seeks Limits and Leeway By PETER BAKER FEB. 11, 2015The ISIS Threat By Whitehouse.gov 1:38Obama on His Islamic State Resolution President Obama described the resolution he submitted to Congress for authorization to use military force against ISIS. He said it did not authorize a ground war like those in Iraq and Afghanistan. By Whitehouse.gov on February 11, 2015. Photo by Stephen Crowley/The New York Times. Watch in Times Video »embed WASHINGTON — In seeking authorization for his six-month-old military campaign against the Islamic State terrorist group, President Obama on Wednesday did something that few if any of his predecessors have done: He asked Congress to restrict the ability of the commander in chief to wage war against an overseas enemy. The proposed legislation Mr. Obama sent to Capitol Hill would impose a three-year limit on American action that has been conducted largely from the air and, while allowing Special Operations commandos and other limited missions, would rule out sustained, large-scale ground combat. It would also finally repeal the expansive 2002 congressional measure that authorized President George W. Bush’s war in Iraq. Document: Obama’s Resolution to Authorize Military Force Against ISISBut even as Mr. Obama proposed some handcuffs on his power, he left behind the key to those shackles should he or his successor decide they are too confining. While his draft resolution would rescind the 2002 authority, it would leave in place a separate measure passed by Congress in 2001 authorizing the president to conduct a global war against Al Qaeda and its affiliates."

"text": "Feature The power to declare war The Week Staff Obama ordered the U. S. military to attack Libya, but according to the Constitution Congress ultimately holds the power to declare War. Getty April 15, 2011Who has the power to declare war? Congress does, according to the U. S. Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 unambiguously states that “Congress shall have power to...declare War.” The president is designated commander in chief, with the authority to direct the military. James Madison declared the War Powers Clause to be the most important in the Constitution because history had shown that “the executive is the branch of power most interested in war,” and therefore must be tempered by a deliberative Congress. How many times has Congress declared war? Just five: Against England in 1812, Mexico in 1846, Spain in 1898, Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1917, and Japan and Germany at the start of World War II. The U. S., of course, has been involved in far more than five military conflicts over the past two centuries; in fact, presidents have ordered the military into action in global trouble spots more than 100 times. From the beginning, presidents have argued that they have authority to take military action to protect vital national interests, and that congressional approval is not required if that action isn’t a full-fledged “war.”"

Even though the show’s main ‘ships are all broken up now — including Spencer (Troian Bellisario) and Toby (Keegan Allen), Aria (Lucy Hale) and Ezra (Ian Harding), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn), and Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Alison (Sasha Pieterse) — the cast tells The Hollywood Reporter that they will all undergo major changes in the back half of season six. Below, the Liars reveal what to expect in break-up flashbacks, how the new love interests differ from the old, and how one couple has the healthiest relationship this time around. What is it like for Aria and Ezra after they reunite for the first time? Lucy Hale: We never see the scene where Aria and Ezra say goodbye, so in my head, they really faked it. I don’t think there was ever that closure. But they both know they weren’t necessarily the best for each other, at least where they were in their lives. The person you’re in love with isn't always the right person for you and that’s a hard thing to accept. … Aria wanted to forget everything that happened in Rosewood and look for something new, but she’ll always be in love with him. She will deny it until the end, but maybe they needed to part ways for a while to come back and be something better and stronger."

"text": "Pretty Little Liars: Season Eight As a Very Different Show?by Regina Avalos, March 22, 2016Pretty Little Liars is getting ready to start production on season seven for Freeform, and fans are still wondering if season seven is indeed the final season of the series. It has been teased in previous reports that season seven is the last season of the series, but now one member of the cast is teasing the possibility of an eighth season. In an interview with Vulture, Lucy Hale spoke about the future of the series, and she left the door open for an eighth season. She said:“It’s a sensitive subject. We’re going into our seventh year, we’ve shot over, God, 160 episodes. We’ve covered so much area. We really had a great show for a really long time and we’ve kept people’s interest, and I’ve always said that I want the show to end when people still really care and not when people are begging for it to get off the air. We flash-forwarded a little bit, and they’re in a good spot to finally get that peace and find out who “A” is. I’ve said that I even want it to end really darkly. But backtracking to what you said before, this may not be the end."

Before the turn of the 20th century, a major reform movement had emerged in the United States. Known as progressives, the reformers were reacting to problems caused by the rapid growth of factories and cities. Progressives at first concentrated on improving the lives of those living in slums and in getting rid of corruption in government. By the beginning of the new century, progressives had started to attack huge corporations like Standard Oil, U. S. Steel, and the Armour meat-packing company for their unjust practices. The progressives revealed how these companies eliminated competition, set high prices, and treated workers as \"\"wage slaves. \"\" The progressives differed, however, on how best to control these big businesses.

The Tennessee Valley Authority was designed to build hydroelectric power dams along the Tennessee River The centerpiece of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) was the \"\"domestic allotment plan,\"\" which paid farmers to take land out of production. New Dealers hoped that the National Recovery Administration (NRA) would produce a collective social conscience among businesses through the coordination of management, labor, and the federal government to guarantee fair treatment of workers and consumers The 1936 Supreme Court decision against the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) sided with agricultural processors and distributors The Southern Tenant Farmers' Union argued that the AAA enriched large farmers at the expense of smaller ones Father Charles Coughlin gained popular support with his radio broadcasts in which he spoke against villainous \"\"predatory capitalists. \"\" spoke against villainous \"\"predatory capitalists.\"\" lived up to his campaign slogan, \"\"Every man a king, but only one wears a crown In 1937, the Supreme Court ruled that the Social Security system was legal and allowed Congress to tax all citizens to pay for the program President Roosevelt wanted comprehensive tax reform because he saw both societal and political advantages to breaking up the large fortunes of the country's wealthiest citizens As a result of New Deal programs and the efforts of the Roosevelt administration, African Americans in the 1930s increased their representation in the federal government but saw little improvement in their overall economic and social status Native Americans experienced a major change in their circumstances during the New Deal as a result of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, which tried to reverse the assimilationist goals of the Dawes Act. After steady economic recovery through 1936, President Roosevelt's retreat from deficit spending cooled down the economy too much, which led to such a downturn in national income and production that more than half of the gains brought by the New Deal were lost The Keynesian economic model advocated government intervention to revive production, boost consumption, and restore prosperity. The only way to pass the Fair Labor Standards Act through Congress was to exempt merchant seamen, fishermen, domestic help, and farm laborers. President Roosevelt never was able to escape his need for southern political support, which left the New Deal with a legacy of failing to address racial injustice The instruction that Franklin Roosevelt received at home and at school while growing up in Hyde Park, New York, instilled in him a belief that the privileged had a duty to look after the welfare of the poor and weak. As a result of his therapy treatments for polio in Warm Springs, Georgia, Roosevelt developed political relationships with southern Democrats. During Roosevelt's term as governor of New York, he intervened in the economy on behalf of the needy and angered conservatives who believed that the government should stay out of the economy and let market forces run their course."

Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the thirty-third President of the United States (1945–1953); as Vice President, he succeeded to the office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In domestic affairs, Truman faced challenge after challenge: a tumultuous reconversion of the economy marked by severe shortages, numerous strikes, and the passage of the Taft-Hartley Act over his veto. After confounding all predictions to win re-election in 1948, he was able to pass almost none of his Fair Deal program. He used executive orders to begin desegregation of the U. S. armed forces and to launch a system of loyalty checks to remove thousands of Communist sympathizers from government office. He did, however, strongly oppose mandatory loyalty oaths for governmental employees, a stance that led to charges that his administration was soft on Communism. Corruption in his administration reached the cabinet and senior White House staff; in one of many scandals, 166 of his appointees resigned or were fired in the aftermath of revelations of financial misbehavior in the Internal Revenue Service. Republicans made corruption a central issue in the 1952 campaign. Truman's presidency was eventful in foreign affairs, starting with victory over Germany, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II, the founding of the United Nations, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the Truman Doctrine to contain Communism, the beginning of the Cold War, the creation of NATO, and the Korean War. The war became a frustrating stalemate, with over 30,000 Americans killed. After promising to \"\"go to Korea\"\" and highlighting what he referred to as the \"\"mess in Washington,\"\" Republican Dwight D.

But the teddy bear is an American original: Its story begins with a holiday vacation taken by President Theodore Roosevelt. By the spring of 1902, the United Mine Workers of America were on strike, seeking shorter workdays and higher wages from a coal industry that was suffering from oversupply and low profits. The mine owners had welcomed the strike because they could not legally shut down production; it gave them a way to save on wages while driving up demand and prices. Neither side was willing to give in, and fearing a deadly wintertime shortage of coal, Roosevelt decided to intervene, threatening to send in troops to the Midwest to take over the anthracite mines if the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement. Throughout the fall, despite the risk of a major political setback, Roosevelt met with union representatives and coal operators. In late October, as temperatures began to drop, the union and the owners struck a deal. After averting that disaster, Roosevelt decided he needed a vacation, so he accepted an invitation from Mississippi Governor Andrew Longino to head south for a hunting trip. Longino was the first Mississippi governor elected after the Civil War who was not a Confederate veteran, and he would soon be facing a re-election fight against James Vardaman, who declared, “If it is necessary every Negro in the state will be lynched; it will be done to maintain white supremacy.”"

He was a dynamic military leader and he had many achievements to his credit. In World War II, the three great world leaders arrayed against Germany were President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain, and Joseph Stalin of Russia. Three finer war leaders could rarely have been found in any era. Churchill, a leader with bulldog spirit and possessing fine oratorical skills, Stalin, the man of steel, and Roosevelt, the great politician and compromiser, held the allies together when things looked blackest and then led them to victory over the fanatical resistance of the Germans. Hitler, although a thoroughly evil person for this planet, also had his moments of leadership particularly at the start of his regime. But none of the other Axis leaders (certainly not Mussolini!) were of the caliber of the three Allied leaders."

S. Bank Stadium is an enclosed stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Built on the former site of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the indoor stadium opened in 2016 and is the home of the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL); it also hosts early season college baseball games of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers ( NCAA ). The Vikings played at the Metrodome from 1982 until its closure in 2013; during construction, the Vikings played two seasons ( 2014, 2015) at the open-air TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota. [ 11] The team's first home was Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington ( 1961 – 1981 ), now the site of the Mall of America. On June 17, 2016, U. S. Bank Stadium was deemed substantially complete by contractor Mortenson Construction, six weeks before the ribbon-cutting ceremony and official grand opening on July 22. Authority to use and occupy the stadium was handed over to the Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority. The Vikings played their first pre-season game at U. S. Bank Stadium on August 28; the home opener of the regular season was in week two against the Green Bay Packers on September 18, a 17–14 victory. [ 12]It is the first fixed-roof stadium built in the NFL since Ford Field in Detroit, which opened in 2002. As of March 2015, the overall budget was estimated to be $1.061 billion, with $348 million from the state of Minnesota, $150 million from the city of Minneapolis, and $551 million from the team and private contributions. [ 5]U. S. Bank Stadium hosted Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018, [13] and is expected to host the ESPN X Games on July 19–22, 2018, the 2019 NCAA Final Four, and the 2020 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships."

"text": "Text sizeemail Printmore (02:31) See the complete time lapse video of the $1.03 billion stadium from the Star Tribune's Brian Peterson After a decade of falling just short, legislation to build a new stadium was approved in 2012. Four years and more than $1 billion later, Minnesota has a new home for the Vikings and other sports and entertainment events. U. S. Bank Stadium is the largest public works project in Minnesota history. Groundbreaking was in December 2013, shortly before the Vikings played their last game in the Metrodome. In January 2014, the Dome’s roof was deflated for the final time. From there, more than two years of frenzied activity produced the fourth-most expensive stadium in NFL history (nearly $1.1 billion) with more than 8,000 workers combining for a projected four million hours on the project. Noted for its “Viking ship” design and massive glass exteriors, the 1,750,000 square-foot stadium has already lured the 2018 Super Bowl and 2019 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four. The official opening is set for Aug. 3 when two giants of European soccer meet in an exhibition match. Two concerts (Luke Bryan on Aug. 19 and Metallica on Aug. 20) take place before the Vikings’ home opener against Green Bay on Sept. 18. The stadium’s signature feature is five large doors that are between 75 and 95 feet tall and were incorporated to allow fresh air."

The Vikings have been a part of the Minnesota sports scene since 1961 when they began playing at Metropolitan Stadium . Throughout their history the Vikings have never had a stadium of their own, sharing both stadiums with baseball’s Minnesota Twins (until 2010 when Target Field opened). In the early 2000s the Vikings lobbied numerous times to secure support from the State of Minnesota to fund the construction of a new stadium. On March 1, 2012 the Vikings were successful as Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton announced that a new stadium would be built on the site of the Metrodome. Built at a cost of $1.1 billion, the stadium financed by the Vikings, the City of Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota. For two seasons the Vikings played at TCF Bank Stadium, home of the NCAA’s Minnesota Golden Gophers, while the Metrodome was demolished and their new stadium was constructed. Construction began in late 2013 and in June 2015 US Bank purchased the naming rights for $220 million over 25 years. US Bank Stadium opens in July 2016 and the Vikings will play their first game here on September 18, 2016 against the Green Bay Packers. Located in downtown Minneapolis, US Bank Stadium is a bold and iconic building."

The team began play in 1961. The founding group consisted of Max Winter, E. William Boyer, H. P Skoglund, Ole Haugsrud and Bernard H. Ridder, Jr. ROSE NAMED GENERAL MANAGER — In late summer, 1960, former Los Angeles Rams Public Relations Director Bert Rose was named the team’s first General Manager. TEAM NICKNAMED — In one of his first moves with the team, Bert Rose recommended the nickname “Vikings” to the Board of Directors. The name was selected because it represented both an aggressive person with the will to win and the Nordic tradition in the northern Midwest. FIRST HEAD COACH — Norm Van Brocklin was selected as the first head coach in franchise history. He retired as a player in 1960 after 12 seasons in the NFL as a Hall of Fame QB. FIRST COLLEGE DRAFT — On Dec. 27, 1960, RB Tommy Mason of Tulane was taken with the 1st overall choice and the first-ever draft pick utilized by the Vikings. Also selected that year were QB Fran Tarkenton (3rd round) and DB Ed Sharockman (5th round)."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( July 2007) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)RFK Stadium, a multipurpose stadium in Washington, D. C. Multi-purpose stadiums are a type of stadium designed to be easily used by multiple types of events. While any stadium could potentially host more than one type of sport or event, this concept usually refers to a specific design philosophy that stresses multifunctionality over specificity. It is used most commonly in Canada and the United States, where the two most popular outdoor team sports – football and baseball – require radically different facilities. Football uses a rectangular field ( Canadian football fields are larger than American ones ), while baseball is played on a diamond and large outfield. This requires a particular design to accommodate both, usually an oval. While building stadiums in this way means that sports teams and governments can share costs, it also imposes some challenges. In North America, multipurpose stadiums were built primarily during the 1960s and 1970s as shared home stadiums for Major League Baseball and National Football League or Canadian Football League teams."

That fee could reach $15 million if the firm meets performance incentives, but could be lowered if the construction lags. Mortenson also built the Minnesota Twins' Target Field, and TCF Bank Stadium on the university campus. The Vikings had hoped to play only one season at the outdoor stadium, which is about a 10-minute drive from the Metrodome. The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority had looked into starting construction while the Metrodome still stood, but authority chair Michelle Kelm-Helgen said that proved too difficult. Plans now call for the Metrodome to be torn down in February 2014 and for the new stadium to be ready to open by July 1, 2016. \"\" The Vikings are operating under the assumption that 2013 is our last season in the Metrodome,\"\" Bagley said."

"text": "\"NEWS VIDEOS BLOGS PERSONALITIESNew Minnesota Vikings Stadium Designed to Withstand Harshest Winter Conditions By By Kevin Byrne, Accu Weather.com Staff Writer June 10, 2015, 12:35:18 AM EDTAs shiny new sports stadiums sprout up around the country, featuring extraordinary and more innovative designs than their predecessors, oftentimes the structures are formulated with the weather in mind. In July 2016, the Minnesota Vikings will unveil a state-of-the-art stadium, and as construction crews work throughout the summer on the team’s palatial new home, the venue’s design will come together with a focus on winter weather. Minneapolis is well accustomed to harsh winters, and according to the Vikings, the stadium was designed specifically for the region’s climate, as the building's slope was engineered to reduce snow and ice buildup. In December 2010, the inflatable roof of the Vikings' old home, the Metrodome, memorably collapsed from the weight of 17 inches of snow and damaging high winds, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The new stadium's pitched roof will allow snow to slide off into catch basins and it will also have a unique snow melt system installed into the roof designed by Uponor North America, a company that provides plumbing and indoor climate and infrastructure systems for residential and commercial buildings. The company manufactures the cross-linked polyethylene, or PEX, tubing which will be used in the stadium. Hot water that runs through the PEX tubes will raise the surface temperature of the roof, melting the snow before it accumulates, according to Joe Grubesic, the Midwest director of sales for Uponor. “The stadium is designed to work in conjunction with catch basins lined along the outside perimeter to keep snow or ice from falling on occupants outside the stadium,\"\" Grubesic said. “ The Uponor snowmelt system is designed to melt all snow or ice that accumulates within these catch basins. ”Once the snow is melted, the water is removed through drains located within the catch basin."

"text": "PANAMA CITY — A mammoth ship bearing 9,472 containers and the unwieldy name Cosco Shipping Panama completed on Sunday the first official voyage through the new expanded Panama Canal, a $5.25 billion project designed to modernize a 102-year-old landmark of human ambition, determination and engineering prowess. The Chinese vessel, which set sail from the Greek port of Piraeus on June 11, began its crossing of the isthmus from the northern Atlantic Ocean end of the 48-mile canal. On Sunday morning, it entered one of the new locks, on its way to the man-made Gatun Lake, the widened Culebra Cut through a verdant mountain ridge, and then the Pacific Ocean. Like the channel that opened in 1914, the enlarged Panama Canal is a feat of engineering, albeit one that ran over budget and two years behind schedule. The contractors dredged enough material to fill the Egyptian Great Pyramid at Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, 25 times over. The amount of steel used could have erected 29 new Eiffel Towers. The Empire State Building could lie down and fit into just one of the three chambers in each of the new channel’s locks. Although cargo tonnage through the canal has risen 60 percent since 2009, Panama needed to expand the canal to accommodate a new generation of container ships, known as neo-Panamax, which are too big for the old canal locks. The new locks are wider than the old ones, 180 feet vs. 110 feet, and are deeper, too, at 60 feet vs. 42 feet. Officials say the larger locks and new lane will double the waterway’s cargo capacity."

A recently approved expansion plan will double canal capacity by 2015. In late August, traffic jams at the Atlantic and Pacific entrances to the Panama Canal impeded a healthy chunk of the world's maritime commerce. Each day, on average, more than 40 massive ships, many of them three times as long as a football field and piled high with cargo, rode at anchor in impromptu fleets that stretched across the horizon. On the Atlantic side, most of the ships carried grain from the American heartland, bound for markets in Asia; the vessels on the Pacific side from the Far East were jammed with cars and electronics destined for the U. S. East Coast. Some ships with daily operational costs of $40,000 waited as long as a week for passage. Ninety-three years after it first opened for business, the Panama Canal is finally maxed out. Designed before the Titanic was even on drawing boards and while the Wright brothers were still learning to fly, the canal today handles more traffic than its builders could have ever imagined. About 14,000 vessels carrying 5 percent of the world's ocean cargo -- 280 million tons -- pass through the waterway each year. Despite running the canal around the clock -- at close to 90 percent of its theoretical maximum capacity -- canal officials are struggling to keep up.+ Click to enlarge The December 1913 issue of PM."

"text": "Certainly the full history of the Panama Canal could fill page after page until you had yourself quite a book. Panama Canal history is generally thought of as beginning in the 1800's, but studies show that the Spanish had plans for a canal at the Panama Isthmus long before that. Dating back to around 1530, the Spanish were busy conquering much of the New World. As they began to transport their riches back to the Spanish homeland, they were always interested in more efficient routes. It was suggested to Spanish Ruler Charles V that Panama might serve as an ideal place to construct a water passage joining the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This would considerably cut the time it took to otherwise sail around the southern edge of South America. The Spanish would even survey a possible site and work on plans for construction by the year 1529. However, wars back home caused the project to be put on hold. In 1534, the Spanish revisited the idea of building the first Panama Canal, and had they not abandoned the notion, it would have been constructed close to where the present day canal is found. An Italian-Spanish explorer and officer by the name of Alessandro Malaspina would go on to recommend the possibility of a canal in Panama again in the late 1700's, only to see nothing happen."

The ship spent a day floating in the fresh lake water of the locks so they could kill their saltwater barnacles before slipping into the Atlantic Ocean. It was just another series of firsts for the collier built at Mare Island Navy Yard in California and commissioned April 1913 as fuel ship #3. She was the first surface ship propelled by electric motors, yet would spend much of her life hauling coal to fuel other ships.

The Panama Canal and the Torrijos-Carter Treaties One of President Jimmy Carter’s greatest accomplishments was negotiating the Torrijos-Carter Treaties, which were ratified by the U. S. Senate in 1978. These treaties gave the nation of Panama eventual control of the Panama Canal. Jimmy Carter and Omar Torrijos at the September 7th signing ceremony. ( Jimmy Carter Library)The United States acquired the rights to build and operate the Panama Canal during the first years of the 20th century. The Hay-Herrán Treaty, negotiated with the nation of Colombia in 1903, allowed the United States rights to the land surrounding the planned canal. The Colombian Senate refused to ratify the treaty, but Panama was in the process of seceding from Colombia. President Theodore Roosevelt therefore supported the cause of Panamanian independence with the Canal in mind. His support paid off, and on November 18, 1903, the United States signed the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty, establishing permanent U. S. rights to a Panama Canal Zone that stretched across the isthmus."

Before the canal was opened in 1914 ships had to travel around the southern tip of South America to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The Panama Canal shortens the journey by about 11000 km. The Panama Canal is 82 km long. Ships travel through the waterway through a system of locks. Panama is a hilly country and it was not possible to build a sea-level canal. Instead ships must pass through chambers that are filled with water. They raise and lower ships from one level of the canal to another. Each of the locks is about 300 meters long. Ships cannot travel through the locks by themselves."

"text": "\"Home »Nature What Two Bodies of Water Does the Panama Canal Connect? By Aurelio Locsin; Updated April 24, 2017One of the engineering marvels of the world, the Panama Canal, joins the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific through the country of Panama in Central America. The country established the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), an independently financed, autonomous body to manage and operate the canal. Geography Traffic from Europe and Africa on the Atlantic side, as well as from Asia and Australia on the Pacific side, travel the canal, which straddles the isthmus joining North and South America. Using a series of locks, the canal raises ships from sea level up by 85 feet to the level of Gatun Lake, whose natural size and location was used to ease construction. History Built by both the French and the Americans, the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, two years ahead of schedule. It formally opened in August, the start of World War I. Though the United States had signed a perpetual lease agreement with Panama before construction, many locals believed the canal to be rightfully theirs. In 1977, the U. S. signed a treaty granting Panamanians free control of the canal as long as they guaranteed the waterway's permanent neutrality. Description Three locks raise and lower passing vessels: Gatun is on the Atlantic side, and Pedro Miguel and Miraflores are on the Pacific side. Each lock chamber is 110 feet wide by 304 feet long and can handle private boats and large cargo vessels up to 105 feet wide and 964 feet long with a draft (depth) of up to 36 feet."

The purpose of the locks at either end of the Canal is tolift a ship in stages up to the Lake at 85 feet or to lower a ship back down to sea level. These locks were one of the greatest engineering works ever to be undertaken at the time . Not until Hoover Dam did America undertake another project even remotely approaching the Panama Canal. So how do these locks work? Back when you were a kid and you played in the bathtub with toy boats, you may remember your toy boats rose as the tub filled with water and dropped when the water drained. The ships in the Canal may be very large ships, but they rise and fall exactly the same way. The locks operate as giant bathtubs. If you fill the chamber with water, the ship automatically begins to rise. Or if you drain the chamber, the boat will slowly sink."

Ferdinand de Lesseps, builder of the Suez Canal, led the project. His plan called for a sea-level canal to be dug along the path of the Panama Railroad. Some 50 miles in length, the canal would be less than half as long as the Suez. De Lesseps estimated that the job would cost about $132 million, and take 12 years to complete. Europeans had dreamed of a Central American canal as early as the 16th century; President Ulysses S. Grant sent seven expeditions to study the feasibility of such a work. As travel and trade in the Western hemisphere increased, the need for a canal grew increasingly more obvious. To sail from Atlantic to Pacific, ships navigated around Cape Horn, the treacherous southern extremity of South America. A New York to San Francisco journey measured some 13,000 miles and took months. A canal across Panama would save incalculable miles and man-hours."

The North was able to get the resources they needed from the Midwest and not rely on the South. The opening of the Erie Canal also helped the first great western migration, as thousands of settlers avoided the Allegheny Mountains and moved to the fertile lands of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and beyond. Thus, the canal helped achieve Manifest Destiny for the United States of America. The canal was valuable as it secured the support and loyalty from the Midwest to the Union. If the Erie Canal was not built, then the Midwest would have established a commercial alliance with the South, as down the Mississippi River to New Orleans would have been the best place to export goods. With this alliance between the South and Midwest, the North might not have been able to win the war, and therefore the Erie Canal was very significant to a Union victory.

Flag When did the United States declare war on Germany in World War 1? Answer by Niomieshon Confidence votes 2.6KThe United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917. There was two major reasons. First off, the German U-Boats sank 3 passenger ships carrying US civilians and citizens. As if that wasn't enough, the Germans sent the Zimmerman code, which was a code (intercepted and decoded by Britain) that asks Mexico to ally itself with the Axis (or, at least Germany). If Mexico does ally itself with the Axis, then the Axis would help Mexico take back some of the \"\"origianal\"\" Mexican lands that the US took over. Seeing this, the US got pissed (after a large amount of casualties and a lethal threat note) and began to attack (or, declare war on Germany). Because the British were also going against Germany, and Britain was once the US' homeland, the US joined war on the Allies' side.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Orange: Axis Powers World War II was primarily fought between two large alliances. The Axis Powers were a group of countries led by Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan, and are considered the aggressors of the conflict. The Allies, led by the United Kingdom and, until its defeat, France, were joined in the European theatre by the Soviet Union in June 1941 and by the United States in December 1941. In the Asia-Pacific theatre, the Allies were led by the Republic of China from the invasion of China by Japan in 1937 and then joined by the United States in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbour. The Axis Originally founded on the concept of the Rome-Berlin-axis (the Pact of Steel), later the Tripartite Pact, the Axis was not primarily a formal alliance. Each of the major countries went to war on their own initiative (Nazi Germany in 1939, Italy in 1940, and Japan in 1937 against China and 1941 against USA), and not necessarily to assist each other. There was little sharing of technology or resources, and also little in the way of cooperative strategic planning between the major Axis Powers. With the demise of Italy, Germany and Japan each functioned as wholly separate powers, each conducting the war in their theatre (Germany in Europe and Japan in the Pacific). There were a number of smaller powers on the side of the Axis, although for the most part the war effort was directed and powered by Germany and Japan."

Well, those areas accounted for 12% of the German population, who wanted to be Germans. There are many short-sighted clauses in this Treaty that caused more harm than good, but the worst of them is this part - that a lot of Germans were arbitrarily separated from what they viewed as their country.

S.?10 Answers Jon Mixon, Semi-pro historian. Updated Oct 1, 2016 · Author has 19.3k answers and 89.8m answer views The WWII historical account The Storm of War cites Hitler telling his generals that he did not believe that the United States: Could fight a two-front war - Which itself was ironic as his declaration of war was the only thing that made this even possible. Would be able to enter the war successfully until late 1943 or early 1944 - Which itself was also rather stupid as that would have given the United States even more time to have built up its forces to the point where they could have foregone a landing in North Africa (and thus trapped the Afrika Korps) in favor one in Southern France and caused the Nazis no end of headaches. The book implies that Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's fairly moronic minister of foreign affairs, influenced his views on the United States. Of Hitler's close circle, only von Ribbentrop had spent any significant time in the United States (he lived there for four years, spending nearly all of that time in the elite party circles of Washington D. C. and New York City) and so he fancied himself an \"\"expert\"\" on America and its weaknesses. Given that 3 years and 5 months after Hitler declared war against the US, he had committed suicide, his armies were in shambles and his beloved Germany was an occupied ruin, it appears that no aspect of his decision to declare war was sound.

After all, every schoolchild in America is taught that Hitler and his Nazi cohorts were the very epitome of evil. How could ordinary German citizens support people who were so obviously monstrous in nature? Standing against the Nazi tide was a remarkable group of young people known as the White Rose. Led by Hans and Sophie Scholl, a German brother and sister who were students at the University of Munich, the White Rose consisted of college students and a college professor who risked their lives to circulate anti-government pamphlets in the midst of World War II. Their arrest and trial was depicted in the German movie Sophie Scholl: The Final Days, which was recently released on DVD in the United States. Of all the essays on liberty I have written in the past 20 years, my favorite is \"\" The White Rose: A Lesson in Dissent \"\", which I am pleased to say was later reprinted in Voices of the Holocaust, an anthology on the Holocaust for high-school students. The story of the White Rose is the most remarkable case of courage I have ever come across. It even inspired me to visit the University of Munich a few years ago, where portions of the White Rose pamphlets have been permanently enshrined on bricks laid into a plaza at the entrance to the school. A contrast to the Scholl movie is another recent German movie, Downfall, which details Hitler's final days in the bunker, where he committed suicide near the end of the war."

La Follette Votes Against a Declaration of War The events of the first few months of 1917, from the resumption of unrestricted submarine attacks to the Zimmerman telegram, broke the back of the antiwar movement and substantially increased enthusiasm for American intervention. But some dissident voices remained. Among the firmest congressional opponents was the progressive Wisconsin senator Robert M. La Follette. On April 4, 1917, two days after President Woodrow Wilson’s call for war, La Follette argued in this speech before Congress that the United States had not been even-handed in its treatment of British and German violations of American neutrality. A Republican senator from a state with a large agricultural and German-American population, La Follette worried that the war would divert attention from domestic reform efforts. But even in Wisconsin La Follette met opposition; the state legislature censured him, as did some of his longtime progressive allies. One of them said that he was “of more help to the Kaiser than a quarter of a million troops. ”Mr. President, I had supposed until recently that it was the duty of senators and representatives in Congress to vote and act according to their convictions on all public matters that came before them for consideration and decision. Quite another doctrine has recently been promulgated by certain newspapers, which unfortunately seems to have found considerable support elsewhere, and that is the doctrine of “standing back of the President” without inquiring whether the President is right or wrong."

Flag Why did Germany start World War 2? Answer by Joncey Confidence votes 68.8KSome historians believe that WW2 was a continuation of the lingering ills of WWI and the devastating impact on the Germany economy that reparations had. Hitler was a maniacal tyrant, who used his power to invade his neighbors, to acquire their wealth, as all tyrants are want to do. One of the main reason it started was that lots of soliders in Germany still wanted to fight. Hitler was a soldier in World War I and lots of his buddies were killed. The reasons date back to a few historical ideals, such as Bismarck's idea of German unification. Germany as a unified land was a recent thing in that it only happened late 1800s but had lost about 15% of its territory at the end of World War 1. It was not just Hitler but many Germans felt they should take back the land Hitler seemingly had the goal of German unification as well, as he took German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia formerly the kingdom of Bohemia, and also annexed Austria, one of the major German states. Of course the problem was that, as mentioned, Poland had taken German land and conducted an anti-German cultural campaign.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

It has never been made clear why but Hitler/Germany did declare war on the USA at this time, right after Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. That attack, of course, led the USA to declare war on Japan. Possible reasons Germany engaged the USA: 1) They felt they were already at war. The USA was actively arming and financing German enemies. The USA had attacked many German naval vessels and even murdered some helpless German sailors. 2) Germany hoped that by going against the USA they could get Japan to attack the Soviets in Siberia. No such luck though, as the Japanese were completely outclassed on land to fight a major European army and they knew it."

The two sides of the war consisted of the Allied Powers (France, Great Britain, Russia, the United States, and other smaller counties) and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey/Ottoman Empire, along with other smaller country support). Though Germany turned out to be the Central Power most involved in the war, there is little or no evidence that the Germans had planned for war. There are several fundamental causes that had brought the world to the brink of war: nationalism, imperialist competition, militarism, and the build up of pre-war alliances. These growing appearance of these factors perhaps inevitably led to what was called the Great War, World War One. June 22nd - Conflict Begins The war began as a chain of events that revolved around several alliances made between countries. These pre-war alliances called for the defence of various countries under attack, and all of the major players in the war had made these alliances. These alliances combined with tensions between militarily active countries set the world up for a major war. The chain of events that led up to the war began on June 22 nd 1914, when a Serbian student named Gavrilo Princip, who was part of the militant group called the \"\"Black Hand\"\", assassinated Austrian archduke Frances Ferdinand and his wife. The assassination was a result of the nationalism caused by the moulding of the Yugoslavian provinces into a single state."

There was a lot of anti-German sentiment at the time, especially due to the sinking of the Lusitania, which was a British ship that was sunk by German U-Boats, but had over a hundred Americans on board. Another biggie was the Zimmerman note, which was a telegram sent to Mexico by Germany, which, when intercepted and decoded by the U. S.

Here are some summaries of explanations given by FAQ Farmers. Submarine Warfare and the Lusitania There were unauthorized German submarines along the US East coast. Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in the spring of 1917 provided the final straw for US politicians, and America declared war. The first and foremost answer would be the sinking of the Lusitania, an British cruise/transport ship, bound for Britain from New York. The German U-boat ring sought to sink all supply ships headed for Britain in order to starve the island. It sank the Lusitania as part of its efforts. 1195 people died, including 128 Americans. The Lusitania's sinking was the biggest influence on the American decision to enter the war."

Answer by Tayben1996 Confidence votes 207The US declared war on April 6, 1917. However, it took time to mobilize soldiers for the army, and US forces were not fully engaged in France until the Spring offensive of 1918. This allowed the US forces to be engaged to the greatest effect along many of the lines of battle. After Germany lost most of its territorial gains from the early part of the war, they were forced to end the war on November 11, 1918. Although Woodrow Wilson opposed US involvement, he came to see it as unavoidable, given Germany's submarine warfare against US shipping. An attempt to draw Mexico into the conflict (the Zimmerman Telegram) also helped to sway US opinions.

In each case, the wars were declared against specific nations to defend against imminent threats (real and perceived) to the security of core US territory and possessions. Each declaration of war gave the president broad authority to mobilize the military and government to prosecute those wars. However, since the very early days of the Republic, there's been a grey area for those conflicts where it's been seen as necessary to use military force, but not such a threat to hand broader authority to the president. This is where Congressional authorizations for the use of military force were created - permission given by Congress to the president to engage in hostilities, but not so much as to mobilize the whole of the military or government."

"text": "\"Andrew Warinner, Code monkey, expat, utility infielder Updated Jan 7, 2013 · Author has 1.4k answers and 6m answer viewstl;dr - Not much would have changed; unconditional surrender was not the glue that held the Allies together. The shared strategic interest in defeating Germany was far more important. Unconditional surrender was a valuable policy - especially to Roosevelt - not only internationally but domestically as well. The US public could take some assurance that US interests would not be ignored and overridden as at Paris in 1919. Stalin could take some assurance that Britain and the US were committed to the fight against Germany, though Stalin preferred more concrete proof, hence his insistence on the Second Front. Stalin's real crisis of confidence in mid-1942 came before the agreement on unconditional surrender in January 1943. By January 1943, Stalin could have some confidence that the Red Army could hold off the Wehrmacht and ultimate defeat of Germany was conceivable. Unconditional surrender is one of the more misunderstood and maligned Allied policies of World War II. A more accurate name for it would have been \"\"unnegotiated surrender\"\" but that lacks propaganda punch. The US and Britain were happy to negotiate Italy's surrender and switching of sides and offered fairly generous terms to Japan to surrender in 1945."

So they devised extensive plans to defend themselves which involved conquering France first, then turning to face Russia. The assassination of the Archduke caused Russia to mobilize its troops to come to the aid of the Serbians. Germany had decided long before that once Russia mobilized troops, they had 9 weeks to conquer France before they had to battle Russia on the eastern front, so there it began.

This marked the start of annual remembrance of the event, and the honouring of the many men who died at Gallipoli. From 1916 onwards, in both Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC services were held on or about April 25, mainly organised by returned servicemen and school children in cooperation with local authorities. 25 April 1916 was the first unofficial ANZAC day. It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt. In London over 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets. In the Sydney march wounded soldiers attended by nurses also took part in the march with the aid of motor vehicles.

"text": "Interview with Richard Jellerson: A Huey Pilot’s Insights on the Helicopter War in Vietnamfacebook twitter linkedin pinterest print6/12/2006 • Black History, Vietnam At the beginning of The Personal Experience: Helicopter Warfare in Vietnam, a documentary created by writer-producer Richard Jellerson and producer-cinematographer Jamie Thompson, the film notes that the conflict was frequently referred to as ‘the Helicopter War. Although the sobriquet did not necessarily mark the first time a war had been so closely associated with the technologies supporting it, the role played by Huey slicks and gunships grew in critical ways as the Vietnam War unfolded. Relied on at first primarily as evacuation vehicles, the medevac came of age in Vietnam. Helicopter units soon became hunter-killer teams or lift-and-assault units, crucial supplements to and protectors of the ground force. The Personal Experience, which debuted in June 2001, is a remarkable film, not only for its exhaustive historical and technological examination of helicopter warfare in Vietnam, but also for its thoughtful, far-reaching look at the conflict’s personal and social contexts. The filmmakers’ methods are deceptively simple: Interviews with veteran helicopter pilots were combined with stock footage, as well as home movies taken by soldiers and a voice-over narration. What raises the film above its modest methods is the quality of those ingredients and the insightful ways in which they are assembled into a narrative arc. The participants are eloquent and, at times, breathtakingly candid. In one instance, Brig. Gen. Ezell Ware, who is an African American from the South, comments that it was almost as fearful to be in Mississippi as in combat in Vietnam."

"text": "\"Warfare Military History and Wars The United States of America How many wars has the US lost?18 Answers Yashvardhan Mulki, Amateur Historian Updated Mar 12, 2017 · Author has 362 answers and 2m answer views The United States has only lost two wars since its creation in 1776. The first one was the War of 1812. The United States declared war on the United Kingdom for a variety of reasons including possibly the loss of national pride caused Chesapeake-Leopard Affair and launched three attacks on British North America (Today’s Canada). The British considered this an expansionary move to annex Canada. All three were repelled by the British Army, local militias and First Nations support. It resulted in the White House and the Capitol building being burnt by British forces. The below image is of a rendition of the White House after the burning painted by George Munger. It wasn’t that much of a loss for anyone really (more like a stalemate), because the U. S. did achieve many objectives but this is probably the closest to home it has got for the United States so it is worth mentioning. The second war that the Untied States lost was the Vietnam War against the NVA and Viet Cong to prevent South Vietnam from going communist under the control of the North Vietnamese government which was backed by the USSR and the PRC. It was one of the most drawn out wars in modern history and resulted in the unification of Vietnam under a communist government."

To the dismay of secessionists in Virginia and across the South, of the 152 delegates they elected, a solid majority were Unionist. Desire to leave the Union had never been as strong in the Upper South, and some Unionists speculated that Virginia's example might even draw the wayward Deep South back into the United States. When the convention met on February 13 in the Mechanics Institute at the foot of Capitol Square in Richmond, all of the factions favored delay. Radical secession men, small in number, were content to let the Confederates organize their infant republic in Montgomery, Alabama, before acting. Adamant Unionists, also a minority, bided their time as well. The great majority of delegates were conservatives who loved the Union, mistrusted Lincoln, but accepted his election and inauguration. They hoped that, like their predecessors in constitutional disputes of years past, they could cobble together some grand Union-saving compromise, persuade the convention to endorse it, and then adjourn. The Confederacy sent emissaries to the slave states of the Upper South to urge them to join the republic created in Montgomery. The Virginia convention permitted these representatives to address its members, though most delegates were immune to their strident demands."

Lee Memorial Association, Stratford)By Roy Blount, Jr. Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe July 2003Few figures in American history are more divisive, contradictory or elusive than Robert E. Lee, the reluctant, tragic leader of the Confederate Army, who died in his beloved Virginia at age 63 in 1870, five years after the end of the Civil War. In a new biography,Robert E. Lee, Roy Blount, Jr., treats Lee as a man of competing impulses, a “paragon of manliness” and “one of the greatest military commanders in history,” who was nonetheless “not good at telling men what to do. ”Blount, a noted humorist, journalist, playwright and raconteur, is the author or coauthor of 15 previous books and the editor of Roy Blount’s Book of Southern Humor. A resident of New York City and western Massachusetts, he traces his interest in Lee to his boyhood in Georgia. Though Blount was never a Civil War buff, he says “every Southerner has to make his peace with that War. I plunged back into it for this book, and am relieved to have emerged alive. ”“Also,” he says, “Lee reminds me in some ways of my father."

Lee is perhaps the most iconic and most widely respected of all Civil War commanders. Though he opposed secession, he resigned from the U. S. Army to join the forces of his native state, rose to command the largest Confederate army and ultimately was named general-in-chief of all Confederate land forces. He repeatedly defeated larger Federal armies in Virginia, but his two invasions of Northern soil were unsuccessful. In Ulysses S. Grant, he found an opponent who would not withdraw regardless of setbacks and casualties, and Lee’s outnumbered forces were gradually reduced in number and forced into defensive positions that did not allow him room to maneuver. When he surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, it meant the war was virtually over. Robert Edward Lee was the fifth child of Revolutionary War hero and governor of Virginia Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee. Henry Lee, unfortunately, was fiscally irresponsible, which hurt the family financially, and he left for the West Indies when Robert was six, never to return. Robert’s mother, Ann Carter Lee, raised the boy with a strong sense of duty and responsibility."

He commanded the Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War from 1862 until his surrender in 1865. A son of Revolutionary War officer Henry \"\"Light Horse Harry\"\" Lee III, Lee was a top graduate of the United States Military Academy and an exceptional officer and military engineer in the United States Army for 32 years. During this time, he served throughout the United States, distinguished himself during the Mexican–American War, and served as Superintendent of the United States Military Academy. When Virginia declared its secession from the Union in April 1861, Lee chose to follow his home state, despite his desire for the country to remain intact and an offer of a senior Union command. [ 1] During the first year of the Civil War, Lee served as a senior military adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Once he took command of the main field army in 1862 he soon emerged as a shrewd tactician and battlefield commander, winning most of his battles, all against far superior Union armies. [ 2] [3] Lee's strategic foresight was more questionable, and both of his major offensives into Union territory ended in defeat. ["

It established the basis for government so Virginia would not be in a \"\"state of nature,\"\" after declaring independence from Great Britain. Virginia's Fifth Revolutionary Convention, elected and meeting separately from the colonial House of Burgesses, was the first in North America to define the shape of an independent state government that owed no allegiance to King George III. On May 15, the delegates to that convention appointed a committee to draft a new form of government for the colony. The same day, they directed Richard Henry Lee to introduce a resolution in the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, calling for all the colonies to declare they were declaring independence from Parliament and the King of England. Thomas Jefferson considered framing the new form of government for Virginia to be more important than serving in the Continental Congress. He prepared three drafts of a constitution for Virginia, and even proposed the Virginia delegates to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia return to Williamsburg to participate in the debate and decision process. According to Jefferson, creating a good alternative to the royal form of government was: 1the whole object of the present controversy; for should a bad government be instituted for us in future it had been as well to have accepted at first the bad one offered to us from beyond the water without the risk and expence of contest The other major contributor to the first Constitution of Virginia was George Mason IV, who is credited with drafting the Virginia Declaration of Rights. Two key policy changes were made to Mason's draft by the convention before the Virginia Declaration of Rights was approved on June 12, 1776 and incorporated into the final draft of the 1776 state constitution on June 29, 1776.

This theory is known as States' Rights. This idea began when the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions said that the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1789 were unconstitutional. South Carolina felt that the Tariff of 1828 was unconstitutional. They threatened to secede or leave the Union if it wasn't changed. John C. Calhoun didn't want that to happen so he tried to think of an alternative. He came up with Nullification or the idea that states wouldn't have to follow laws created by the Congress. If this was enforced then South Carolina could stay in the Union and not have to pay the tariff. In the years 1860-1861 about 11 Southern States succeeded from the Union because they believed so strongly in the idea of states' rights, especially over the issue of slavery. The Civil War was brought about, in part, by states that would be separated over the idea of states' rights, especially whether or not the Federal government is more powerful than the state governments."

By Sheldon Winston Volume 30, Number 3 (April 1969), pp. 530-534The admission of West Virginia in the midst of a war was an unusual event in the history of our nation. The circumstances of its admission leaves doubt as to whether the granting of statehood to West Virginia had a basis in law. A relatively unknown political entity played a key role between June 17, 1861, and October 24, 1861, in the creation of West Virginia. We must look to the history of that government to determine the legality of West Virginia statehood. The restored Union-oriented government of Virginia lived briefly and with little notoriety during the War Between the States. Its fragile existence, however, was crucial in the dismemberment of Virginia and the admission of West Virginia to the Union. The original State of Virginia was a state zealously sought by both the Federal Government and the emerging Confederacy prior to the outbreak of hostilities at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. Under the impact of events at Fort Sumter, however, and President Lincoln's request for 75,000 troops, Virginia cast its lot with the Confederacy.1During the debate prior to the vote on secession, Waitman T. Willey, who became a United States Senator from the Restored Government of Virginia and later United States Senator from West Virginia enunciated the position of those delegates from the mountainous western counties of Virginia."

This proximity ensured that the area of Northern Virginia that separated them was to become one of the most important theatres of conflict. When the war began, it was the Federal capitol that was vulnerable. Washington had been built on the northern bank of the Potomac River, the northern border of Virginia, making the south bank of the river hostile territory. The surrounding state, Maryland, was of doubtful loyalty, and so the beginning of President Lincoln’s time in Washington was spent in a rather nervous atmosphere. As a new state, the Confederacy had the luxury of being able to choose its own capitol. With that in mind, the choice of what quickly became a front line city would seem odd, even self defeating, but the decision can be explained. Virginia was crucial to the Confederacy. She had not joined the rebellion until after the fall of Fort Sumter, and on 27 April she invited the Confederacy to move its capital to Richmond. Eager to ensure the loyalty of such an important state, the Confederate government agreed."

Formation of the Confederacy By Phil Allard Introduction Early Threats to the Union and the 'Nullification Crisis'The Seeds of Conflict: The Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act The Dred Scott Decision The Case for Secession The Case Against Secession Secession and the Civil War Discussion Questions & Activities Bibliography The issue: Do the Southern states have the right to withdraw from the Union if they decide that being a part of it is no longer in their best interests? Or would secession and the formation of the Confederate States of America constitute a rebellion? Arguments for Secession: The federal government is instituting policies that go against the best interests of the South, such as tariffs that disproportionately hurt the South and attempts to free the slaves who work on Southern plantations. Just as the colonists had the right to declare independence from Britain nearly a century ago, the South has the right to seek its independence from the Union. Arguments against Secession: When all of the states entered the Union they essentially formed a binding compact; for that compact to be broken, all states must agree to its dissolution, not just a handful of them. Preservation of the Union is far more important than the complaints of individual states; the country would be weaker if it were divided into two.

Introduction The American Civil War (1861-65) was one of the most pivotal events in the history of the U. S. About 620,000 Americans died in the war, more than in all other American war s combined. The Civil War also resulted in the liberation of roughly four million black slaves, which forever changed the social structure of the South and race relations in the U. S.

Lee Soldiers Engaged: Union: 62,000 | Confederate: 50,000 Outcome: Confederate Victory Casualties: Union: 14,000 | Confederate: 8,000Second Battle Of Bull Run Summary: The Second Battle of Bull Run (Second Battle of Manassas) was fought August 28–30, 1862, during the American Civil War. It was much larger in scale and in the number of casualties than the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas) fought in July 1861 on much of the same ground. In this second battle, Major General John Pope, appointed by President Abraham Lincoln in March 1862 to command the newly formed Army of Virginia, was soundly beaten by Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, due in part to Pope’s misapprehension of the battlefield, confused orders and the reluctance of other Union commanders to come to his aid. Confederate lieutenant general Thomas J. \"\"Stonewall\"\" Jackson and Lt. Gen. James Longstreet hemmed in and crushed the Federals. Unlike the full-scale rout of inexperienced Union troops that occurred during the First Battle of Bull Run, in Second Bull Run, Pope and his more experienced troops made a determined stand that allowed the army to retreat in an orderly fashion after darkness fell. In March, 1862, Lincoln demoted Maj. Gen. George Mc Clellan from overall command of Union armies, giving him command of only of the Army of the Potomac. A new Army of Virginia was formed from various elements and Maj. Gen. John Pope, whose family had close connections to Lincoln, was chosen to lead it."

For each side, victory would hinge on how well the two premier commanders, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, performed. If Grant could capture the Confederate fortress of Vicksburg, the Confederacy would lose control of the Mississippi River and be cut in half — a crippling strategic blow to the Confederacy and its hopes for independence. If Lee could win a decisive victory against the Army of the Potomac on Northern soil, Union morale might collapse and open the way for European recognition of an independent Confederate States of America. Whichever commander gained his objective would determine how the war would proceed to its conclusion. The Gettysburg Campaign The victory at Chancellorsville opened a strategic opportunity for the South. Lee proposed a bold offensive to invade the North and defeat the Union Army on its own ground aimed at altering the strategic balance once and for all. Such a plan was risky, to be sure, but it had a strategic defensive purpose. A battlefield victory at this point could end the war, and if anyone could pull such a risky maneuver, it was Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia. The Confederate leadership faced a dilemma in the early summer of 1863."

The operation, commanded by Maj. Gen. George B. Mc Clellan, was an amphibious turning movement intended to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by circumventing the Confederate States Army in Northern Virginia . Mc Clellan was initially successful against the equally cautious General Joseph E. Johnston, but the emergence of the aggressive General Robert E. Lee turned the subsequent Seven Days Battles into a humiliating Union defeat. The Seven Days Battles was a series of six major battles over the seven days from June 25 to July 1, 1862, near Richmond , Virginia. On June 1, Lee, having replaced Johnston who was wounded on May 31, drove the invading Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by Mc Clellan, away from Richmond and into a retreat down the Virginia Peninsula. ( L) George B. Mc Clellan and (R) Joseph E. Johnston Opposing Commanding Generals during Peninsula Campaign (L) Union General George B. Mc Clellan and (R) Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston were opposing commanding generals during the Peninsula Campaign, but Johnston, an overly cautious commander, would be seriously wounded on May 31 and replaced by Lee on June 1. While Mc Clellan was well-known through the ranks for continually requesting additional troops from Washington, it was his refusal to pursue a retreating Lee following the Battle of Antietam that finally forced the patient hand of President Lincoln. Even First Lady Mary Todd showed her disapproval of Mc Clellan in late 1862 by writing her husband and encouraging him to dismiss the ineffective Union commander. Lincoln would remove Mc Clellan and place the Union forces under the command of Maj."

Despite what its name suggests, the Little Ice Age actually encompassed dramatic fluctuations in weather, with one year bringing an intensely cold winter and easterly winds, and the next heavy rains and raging heat. On the whole, conditions began to warm after 1850, but during the war Virginia experienced extreme precipitation and alternate periods of blazing heat and bitter cold. Weather Shaped Campaigns and Battles Weather considerations influenced strategic planning in the Civil War. Army commands requested weather predictions and some data were collected using the telegraphs, though the resulting forecasts were not very accurate. Perhaps most significant, armies usually did not campaign in the winter months, with a few notable exceptions, and instead established more permanent camps from about December through March. In winter camp, soldiers often constructed log cabins with chimneys and fulfilled trivial obligations, such as picket duty, or engaged in leisure activities. Still, most agreed they were eager to leave behind the tedium and chill of winter for spring. April's fair weather signaled renewed movement, new campaigns, and higher morale. Throughout the year, poor weather could hinder campaign progress."

"text": "\"The Right of Secessionby Gene Kizer, Jr. There is no evidence that secession was illegal or prohibited by the Constitution, and in fact there is almost overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that secession was a legal, constitutionally sanctioned act. Historian Kenneth M. Stampp, in his book The Imperiled Union, maintains that it is impossible to say that secession was illegal because of the ambiguity of the original Constitution as to state sovereignty and the right of secession. He points out that \"\"the case for state sovereignty and the constitutional right of secession had flourished for forty years before a comparable case for a perpetual Union had been devised,\"\" and even then its logic was \"\"far from perfect because the Constitution and the debates over ratification were fraught with ambiguity.\"\" 1 It appears that the original intent of an unquestioned right of secession was established by the Founders, took root and \"\"flourished for forty years,\"\" then later a \"\"perpetual Union\"\" counter-argument developed out of political necessity when Northern states began realizing their wealth and power was dependent on the Union and its exploitation of the South. There had to be a specific constitutional prohibition on secession for it to be illegal. Conversely, there did not have to be a specific constitutional affirmation of the right of secession for it to be legal. Why? Because the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. There was no constitution prohibition on secession, nor was there a constitutional sanctioning of any kind of federal coercion to force a state to obey a federal law because to do so was to perpetrate an act of war on the offending state by the other states, for whom the federal government was their agent. The arguments for the right of secession are unequivocal."

Lincoln was the first member of the recently-established Republican Party elected to the presidency. He was succeeded by Vice President Andrew Johnson. Lincoln presided over the Union victory in the American Civil War, which dominated his presidency. Lincoln took office following the 1860 presidential election, in which he won a plurality of the popular vote in a four-candidate field. Almost all of Lincoln's votes came from the Northern United States, as the Republicans held little appeal to voters in the Southern United States. A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the American Civil War. During the 16 weeks between Election Day and Inauguration Day, seven slave states declared their secession from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. After being sworn in as president, Lincoln refused to accept any resolution that would result in Southern secession from the Union."

His election to the presidency was the final blow to the South and led directly to the break up of the Union. Five months after his election, the North and South were engrossed in a bloody civil war. This was the culmination over thirty years of debate about the slavery and extension of slavery into new territories. The first state to secede from the Union was South Carolina. Significantly, this was not the first time that the people of South Carolina had discussed secession. During the debate over tariffs in the 1830s, South Carolina seriously considered secession. Fortunately, John C. Calhoun helped to solve the problem and South Carolina remained in the Union. But on December 20th, 1860, South Carolina held a secession convention in Charleston. The debate was quick and short."

"text": "\"Planning a Consumer Fireworks Display Introduction The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and many of us really enjoy producing a nice fireworks display to entertain our family and friends, and to show off our pyro talents. For many years a buddy of mine has hosted a large party, with a hog-roast and a bonfire, which has brought in hundreds of folks. I've presented a fireworks show annually at this event to cap off the festivities. There's nothing quite like putting in many hours of work and to have it result in that many people-adults and children-sitting in rapt awe as the show goes on, and erupting in joyful cheering at its completion. I've had many folks compliment these small shows, comparing them favorably with the huge, commercial, downtown displays on the river. There's just something about a small, intimate, family-and-friends setting, ending up with a nicely planned pyro display, all resulting in a really memorable event. In the end, this demonstration of our pyrotechnic creativity, talent, hard work, and experience, and the entertaining of others with all of it, is really what this art form is all about. To insure a safe and successful consumer fireworks display, there are some topics which merit consideration in the planning process: What are the laws governing such a display in my particular state, county, or city? Is there a requirement to have insurance for such a show? What is the site like where the display is to be presented?"

Along with viewing the dynamic fireworks show on the National Mall, visitors can celebrate America’s birthday in dozens of venues and in a multitude of ways. Here is a list of entertaining places where revelers can experience the fun and spirit of Independence Day in the most American of settings.1 Honor the Founding Fathers (and documents) at the National Archives Ryan Healy Original copies of the Declaration of Independence, the U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are all on display at the National Archives. After seeing these essential and historic documents, meet the Founding Fathers who helped establish the birth of a nation with programming featuring costumed actors in Revolutionary-era attire.2 Wave the stars and stripes at the National Independence Day Parade Esther Westerveld Line up along Constitution Avenue to observe DC’s annual National Independence Day Parade.

No. M-80’s and Cherry Bombs are not fireworks; they are illegal explosive devices and have been Federally banned since 1966. What fireworks are legal in Minnesota? In general, any firework that leaves the ground or has report is illegal in MN. If the warning label reads, “Emits showers of sparks,” and does not say “with report” it may be a Minnesota approved firework device. We do the best we can to label all our MN legal products as such. If you are unsure, contact the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) of the area in which you plan to discharge fireworks. The AHJ may be the local Mayor, Fire Chief, etc. What fireworks are legal to use in my area?"

"text": "\"Travers, Len. Celebrating the Fourth: Independence Day and the Rites of Nationalism in the Early Republic. Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 1997. How the Fourth of July was Designated as an \"\"Official\"\" Holiday The United States observes no national holidays, that is, holidays mandated across all 50 states by the Federal government. The United States Congress and/or President can only legally establish an \"\"official\"\" holiday for its \"\"federal\"\" employees and the District of Columbia. States and municipalities are free to adopt holidays enjoyed by the federal government or to create their own. This can be accomplished in several ways, either through enactment of a law issued by a state legislature or by an executive proclamation, that is, by order from a state governor. As an act of confirmation, it is possible as well that a city may enact an ordinance regarding the celebration of the Fourth of July or any other holiday. As stated in the World Almanac (1998, p. 315), however, \"\"in practice, most states observe the federal legal public holiday.\"\" The first \"\"official\"\" state celebration of the Fourth as recognized under resolve of a legislature occurred in Massachusetts in 1781."

Things to Know Before Visiting the Nation's Capital By Rachel Cooper Updated 11/14/17Share Pin Email•••Planning a trip to the nation's capital? Here are the answers to many of the questions you may have. I am visiting Washington, D. C. for just a few days, what should I be sure to see? Most people who visit D. C. spend a majority of their time on the National Mall. For a short visit I would recommend taking a walking tour of the national memorials, choosing a few of the Smithsonian museums to explore and visiting the U. S. Capitol Building (reserve a tour in advance). If time allows, explore Arlington National Cemetery, Georgetown, Dupont Circle and/or Adams Morgan. Read also, Top 10 Things to Do in Washington, D. C. and Best 5 Museums in Washington, D. C.. Should I take a sightseeing tour of Washington, D. C.? Sightseeing tours are great if you find the right tour to match your needs. If you want to see a lot of the city in a short period of time, then a bus or trolley tour will guide you around to the popular attractions. For families with small children, seniors or disabled individuals, a tour can make it easier to get around the city."

While most people mistakenly believe the day represents the start of the American Revolution, or when Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration, it actually was when the Continental Congress approved the official wording of the statement. But was it always an important holiday? And why did we want to declare our independence from Great Britain in the first place? Read on to find out.1.

Richard Henry Lee first announced the country’s resolution to separate itself from England in June of 1776, and after Congress agreed to sever all political ties between the two countries, they drafted what today is known as the Declaration of Independence. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and on July 4, the Declaration of Independence was adopted. Thomas Jefferson was chosen to draft the Declaration with four other members (Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams), and it was signed by 56 delegates in Philadelphia."

Here's what you should know – and how to ensure safety for your kids. By Megan Krueger - June 20, 2017No more traveling to Ohio for those consumer-grade fireworks. On Jan. 1, 2012 Michigan enacted a new firework law, allowing state residents to purchase and shoot off bigger fireworks, year-round. The potential dangers of the regulations are raising concerns, among both southeast Michigan families and public safety departments. In the July 2015 issue of Metro Parent, Children’s Hospital of Michigan shed some light on firework safety and concerns in the post Are There Safe Fireworks for Kids? Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about the law, as well as safety precautions to take with fireworks around your family this Independence Day and in the days surrounding the holiday. About the new fireworks law The Michigan Fireworks Safety Act – or Public Act 256 of 2011 – has altered the rules on what size fireworks Michiganders can buy, and also when they can shoot them off. Consumer-grade fireworks are now legal for purchase from state-authorized retailers, and must meet Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, the law notes. This genre includes Roman candles, bottle rockets, aerials and missile-type rockets, according to a state press release ( download a PDF of the full list of legal fireworks in Michigan here )."

Stanton If you want to set off fireworks in Ann Arbor this Fourth of July, you'll have to do it sometime between 8 a.m. and midnight — no later — under new rules. The City Council voted unanimously Monday night in favor of local ordinance changes sponsored by Council Members Sabra Briere, D-1st Ward, and Christopher Taylor, D-3rd Ward. Fireworks explode over Ford Lake in Ypsilanti Township in July 2010. Alan Warren | For Ann Arbor.com The council's action anticipated Gov. Rick Snyder signing into law new legislation passed by the Michigan Legislature. In Snyder's absence, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley on Wednesday signed the legislation that allows local governments to prohibit the use of consumer fireworks between midnight and 8 a.m. on the day before, day of, and day after national holidays. \"\" This is a common-sense bill that respects the preferences of communities by letting local authorities decide when fireworks can and cannot be used,\"\" Calley said. The council-approved ordinance mimics changed state law and places new limits on the use of consumer fireworks such as Roman candles, bottle rockets and firecrackers. Late-night blasts could lead to $500 fines. Briere said Ann Arbor officials received several complaints from residents last year around July 4 after a new state law adopted by the Legislature allowed fireworks previously illegal in Michigan. \"\""

What Is The Lantern Festival? I had never heard of the Lantern Festival. The closest I even knew of such a thing even happening is the scene on the Disney Rapunzel movie – Tangled, where lanterns are released every year for the princesses birthday. She was abducted at birth and every year watched the lanterns float through the sky and somehow sensed their connection to her. Finally when she discovers her rightful place and that the lanterns are in celebration of her she is home, happy and found. There are two of these Lantern Festivals in Chiang Mai, usually in line with the full moon in November. This year there was one reportedly on the 30 th November for tourists at $80 per head. However having friends on the inside we were informed of the local festival-taking place on the 24 th November."

It looks like something has happened in terms of fire damage and never even cleaned up. The carpets were all damp and dirty with hair all over the bedding and carpets.

"text": "\"The Jews Who Wrote Christmas Songs By Nate Bloom December 2006Note: this article was updated, December 2012, with new information. You can find the additions throughout, clearly marked. This article is updated and revised annually. Other versions can be found here: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Every year, in early December, the American Society of Composers and Publishers (ASCAP) compiles a list of the 25 most popular holiday songs as determined by radio air play. The ASCAP list changes a bit from year-to-year. Every now and again, a new song makes the list. More often, a popular new version of an old Christmas favorite propels that old favorite onto the list and pushes another song off. ASCAP’s title, “holiday songs,” might just be a better term than “Christmas songs,” although most people would probably refer to these popular tunes (like “White Christmas” or “Let it Snow”) as “Christmas songs. ”Six years ago I was editing a site on famous Jews when I first saw the annual ASCAP holiday song list."

A perpetual \"\" nice guy \"\", for most of the series, he works in the human resources department of Winfred-Louder, a multinational department store chain. Drew is the founder and co-owner of Buzz Beer, a coffee-flavored caffeinated beer (at the time, such drinks were legal but uncommon in the United States). He has a long-standing feud with co-worker Mimi Bobeck; both play endless, occasionally complicated, seriously mean-spirited pranks on each other until she becomes his sister-in-law, after which they still dislike each other. [ 1]Mimi Bobeck ( Kathy Kinney) – Mimi Bobeck is Mr. Wick's assistant/ secretary and the main antagonist of the series. Much like Fonzie from Happy Days and Steve Urkel from Family Matters, the Mimi character was originally a one-time character, only appearing in the pilot episode. [ 2] She is an overweight woman who wears a lot of makeup, yet has a very high but unstable self-esteem. ( As an in-joke, Mimi's mother was played by known makeup addict and connoisseur Tammy Faye Bakker .) Mimi is Drew's nemesis; she vowed to make Drew's life a living hell after Drew denied her a job based on her makeup."

"text": "The Humble Origins of 11 Chain Restaurants BY Scott Allen January 24, 2011They’re seemingly everywhere, yet they all started somewhere. Here are the stories of the humble beginnings of 11 chain restaurants.1. Applebee’s The world’s largest casual dining chain celebrated 30 years of eatin’ good in the neighborhood in 2010. The original Applebee’s, which was named T. J. Applebee's Rx for Edibles & Elixirs, opened in Atlanta in 1980. The founders of the original restaurant, including Bill and T. J. Palmer, wanted to name the restaurant Appleby’s, but that spelling had already been registered. Cinnamon’s and Peppers, two other names considered, were taken as well. The Palmers settled on T. J. Applebee’s, which was just different enough from their first choice. “ Menu items ranging from munchies to steak and quail are served at round, high-topped tables on platforms,” read one newspaper review from 1981. A second location was opened in Atlanta before T. J. Palmer’s ownership group sold the restaurant concept in 1983. The name was changed to Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill in 1986 and became the first casual dining chain to hit 1,000 locations in 1998."

The band evolved from an earlier group called The Iveys that was formed in 1961 by Ham, Ron Griffiths and David \"\"Dai\"\" Jenkins in Swansea, Wales. The Iveys were the first group signed by the Beatles ' Apple label in 1968. The band renamed themselves Badfinger and in 1969 Griffiths left and was replaced by Molland. In 1970, the band engaged American businessman Stan Polley to manage their commercial affairs. Over the next five years the band recorded five albums for Apple and toured extensively, before they became embroiled in the chaos of Apple Records' dissolution. Badfinger had four consecutive worldwide hits from 1970 to 1972: \"\" Come and Get It \"\" (written and produced by Paul Mc Cartney ), \"\" No Matter What \"\", \"\" Day After Day \"\" (produced by George Harrison ), [1] and \"\" Baby Blue \"\". In 2013, \"\"Baby Blue\"\" made a resurgence onto the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart at number 14 after it was featured in the series finale of the television show Breaking Bad. [ 2] Their song \"\" Without You \"\" has been recorded many times, including a Billboard number-one hit for Harry Nilsson and a UK number one by Mariah Carey. After Apple Records folded, Badfinger signed to Warner Bros. Records, but Polley's financial machinations resulted in internal friction that soon caused Ham to quit Badfinger, to be replaced by Bob Jackson on keyboard and guitar, then led to Ham rejoining and Molland leaving the band instead."

He would be welcomed on the local sandlot baseball team that practices every day, which only has eight players. Smalls however, cannot play baseball; on his first visit to the sandlot he finds himself in the outfield with a fly ball descending toward him which bounces off his glove, causing the other boys, except Benny \"\"the Jet\"\" Rodriguez, the team's leader, to burst out laughing. Smalls, humiliated, leaves the baseball field. Smalls asks his stepfather to teach him to play, and while his stepdad agrees, Scott cannot successfully catch or throw the ball. Benny soon teaches him what he needs to know, and with Benny's support, he gets a place on the team."

The creator of the i Pod chose to listen to vinyl records when he was at home rather than use more modern gadgets, Neil Young has claimed. The rocker, speaking at a technology conference, said the Apple founder preferred the sound compared to the i Pod's digitally-compressed files. ' Convenience': Apple founder Steve Jobs, who passed away in October, preferred listening to vinyl at home rather than using his own product, the i Pod'Steve Jobs was a pioneer of digital music. His legacy is tremendous,' Young said. ' But when he went home, he listened to vinyl. ' Speaking at the D: Dive Into Media conference in Southern California, Young said he had spoken to Jobs about creating a format that allowed the music to stay truer to its original form - rather than being compressed. RELATED ARTICLESPrevious 1 Next With a little help from my dad's friends: Ringo Starr and Eagles' rocker Joe Walsh support Paul Mc Cartney's... Share this article While modern formats, like MP3, are convenient, they do not represent the original sound of the music, the 66-year-old singer-songwriter said. Instead, a new format would contain 100 per cent of the data created in a recording studio rather than the five per cent in compressed formats. Insight: Speaking at a conference in Southern California, rocker Neil Young said Jobs had been keen to develop a new format that did not compress music But he added that due to the size of the files, a device might only be able to hold 30 albums and each song would take 30 minutes to download.

"text": "When and How Will I Get My Disability Check? After enduring the lengthy process of applying for Social Security Disability benefits, you might be tempted to think that the SSA would cut you a check on the spot for all of your back pay and your first month’s benefit. It would be nice if things worked that way, but the truth is, they don’t. Unfortunately, Social Security disability claimants typically have to wait one to two months after approval before they will see their first Social Security Disability monthly payment. In most cases, it will take even longer for you to receive your back pay. Fortunately, any time that passes between approval and your first benefit payment should be reflected in your back pay. If you haven’t started receiving your Social Security Disability benefits within 90 days of approval, contact the SSA. For faster results, have your Social Security Disability lawyer contact the SSA. As you’ve probably discovered by now, a Social Security disability lawyer can often navigate the (often confusing) red tape much faster than a claimant can. It’s in your Social Security lawyer’s best interests to take the time to ensure that you receive your benefits in a timely manner, as his or her fees are tied directly to your back pay."

"text": "As a beneficiary, your red, white, and blue Medicare card will be one of the most important pieces of identification that you own. Your Medicare card displays your Medicare claim number, tells you what type of Medicare coverage you have, and is documentation that you are enrolled in Medicare. When you receive a medical service, the doctor or hospital may ask you to display your Medicare card as proof of insurance. Until recently, the Medicare claim number on your card that identified you as a beneficiary was the same as your Social Security number (SSN), leaving many people vulnerable to identity fraud if their Medicare cards were ever lost or stolen. However, in 2015, President Obama signed a bill into law that would remove SSNs from new Medicare cards. Here’s an overview of everything you need to know when it comes to your Medicare card, including how to apply for one when you’re first eligible for Medicare and how to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged Medicare card. Applying for a new Medicare card If you’re new to Medicare or just about to turn 65, you may be wondering when you can expect your Medicare card in the mail. You’ll first get your Medicare card when you apply for Medicare coverage. For some beneficiaries, Medicare enrollment could be automatic. This happens if you receive Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) benefits before you turn 65."

All checks used to arrive on or near the 3rd of each month & will continue to be paid on that date to people who started getting checks before the change. Now Social Security retirement, survivor & disability checks come different weeks depending on a person's birthday.

I just called Ismail Hamdan’s office–see below, including his phone number–and as of today the rules haven’t changed at the Singapore Indonesian embassy. Please call ahead!) ( Rather watch? Scroll down for video. ) Over the years I’ve had lots of people ask how to go about staying in Bali for six months or more, and how that affects which Bali visa they should choose. I should begin here by gently (and respectfully!) reminding anyone who doesn’t know that visiting Bali requires an Indonesian visa, not a Bali visa. Nowadays Bali especially is seeing a huge influx of foreigners looking to save by renting an apartment or house by the month (or by the year) and work on a project, look into possibilities for making a base in Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia, learn Bahasa Indonesia or simply take an extended break to explore Indonesia’s endless natural and cultural depth and variety. The Sosial Budaya, or Social Visa is a great way to do this, and for many people it’s the best option."

Answer: Usually between 3 and 6 Months depending on your local office. Reconsideration Level of Appeal: Once an initial application is denied for Social Security disability (SSD) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, a disabled claimant (you) has 60 days to appeal the decision to the local SSA office. Similar to the initial application, your claim will be processed by the local SSA office and then sent over to the state agency DDS to be worked up and evaluated using your medical records and any information you have provided on your application or your appeal documents. Additionally, during this time, DDS may send you for an examination with a doctor hired by Social Security to evaluate you and make a recommendation back to Social Security as to what your level of functioning is. Unfortunately, this examination is typically very short and rarely thorough. Never the less, somehow after only examining a claimant for 3 minutes, a doctor is able to give Social Security a “professional” opinion as to whether the claimant could perform various types of work."

"text": "\"How Long Does it Take to Ovulate Using Clomid? By Susie Mc Gee Many women do conceive using Clomid Source The pressing question of \"\"how long does it take to ovulate using Clomid\"\" is common among women who are trying to become pregnant. What is Clomid During a normal cycle, follicles in the ovaries nurture the growing egg by producing more estrogen. These rising estrogen levels signal a surge in LH (luteinizing hormones), which then signal the follicles to release the mature egg or ovulate. Clomid is a common medication used to help women ovulate. It is used to basically trick the body into responding to a lack of estrogen by signaling the body to release FSH (follicle stimulating hormones) and LH. Clomid blocks the estrogen receptors in the brain, which in turn should cause ovulation. Because Clomid is well known in the world of infertility, many women who are experiencing fertility issues believe they should be on it. However, there could be many reasons that these women are not able to get pregnant. Still, if the main issue in regards to your infertility is failure to ovulate, then Clomid may be a good fit for you."

Just about every person trying to get pregnant wants to know when it's ovulation day. Ovulation is when an egg is released from the ovary. When the egg is ovulated, you want sperm waiting in the fallopian tubes available to fertilize that egg.

Why? This drug is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It increases production of gonadotropins (hormones released by the pituitary gland) by inhibiting negative feedback on the hypothalamus. It is used for ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF preparation, and to stimulate and regulate ovulation in women with anovulatory cycles. It is most commonly used for women with PCOS. To make a long story short- this drug forces the body to ovulate, sometimes stimulating ovulation of multiple follicles. Clomid is the name for the medication clomifene or clomiphene. Clomid use began in the 1960s and has been used on thousands of women. This long history of use gives us a clear picture of common side effects."

In some cases, your healthcare provider may suggest taking the Clomid earlier in your cycle.

The Clomid dosage can be increased to 100 mg once daily for five days if ovulation does not occur at the lower dose."

"text": "\"Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)Intrauterine insemination, or as it is commonly called, IUI, is when the semen sample is \"\"washed\"\" or passed through a density gradient, separating sperm from semen; then concentrating the sperm and injecting it into the uterus by passing the vagina and cervix. Putting semen in the uterus without \"\"washing\"\" it first can cause violent uterine contractions, the risk of anaphylactic shock and death; and, sperm can not fertilize as long as they are in semen. By washing semen and separating out the sperm, it is an extremely safe and effective means of putting sperm into the uterine cavity with a zero risk of complications. Indications for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)Indications for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) are: Damage to the cervix from any cause that interferes with cervical mucus production The absence of cervical mucus Poor sperm-mucus interaction even with good mucus and a normal Semen Analysis (SA) ( PCT)Decreased sperm parameters - i.e. numbers, motility, morphology or semen volume Unexplained infertility Total Motile Normal Sperm (TMNS) count of at least 5 million or greater More aggressive treatment than timed intercourse Using donor sperm Difficulty with \"\"sex on demand\"\" and/or getting an erection or ejaculation with intercourse Natural vs. Stimulated Cycle Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) can be done on a woman's natural cycle, where she makes one egg; or on a stimulated cycle, where she can make multiple eggs. The two medications used for stimulation or \"\"super-ovulation\"\" (SO) are: Clomid - Taken orally between days 3-7 or 5-9 and makes about 1-3 eggs and has a multiple rate of 8% depending on age HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin) - Injectable and given starting days 5 through ovulation and generally makes 2-5 eggs, with a multiple rate of 15-20% depending on age. In both cases, 98-99+% of the time, the multiples are twins. Ultrasound will tell you how many egg follicles you are making and if there are more than 3-4, depending on age, the Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is called off and the cycle is cancelled and started again next cycle on a lower dose of medication. Clomid vs. Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin (HMG)Just by simple math, Human Menopausal Gonadotrophin (HMG) works better than Clomid because it makes more eggs, and with more eggs the greater the chance that a sperm will find an egg and you will be successful. However, even if you make 2 eggs with Clomid and 2 eggs with HMG, the HMG has better success rates, because it \"\"makes better eggs\"\", \"\"creates a better hormonal environment for pregnancy to occur\"\", or \"\"corrects something in 2009 that we can not measure\"\"; but egg for egg, follicle for follicle, HMG has better success rates than Clomid. Therefore, the most successful way of doing IUI by super-ovulation (SO) - is with HMG; however, understanding that SO-IUI with Clomid can also be successful."

It is the most commonly used fertility drug. Because Clomid can be prescribed by a gynecologist and doesn't require a fertility specialist, it's also the very first fertility treatment tried for most couples. Clomid is taken as a pill. This is unlike the stronger fertility drugs, which require injection. Clomid is also very effective, stimulating ovulation 80 percent of the time. Clomid may also be marketed under the name Serophene, or you may see it sold under its generic name, clomiphene citrate. Note: Clomid can also be used as a treatment for male infertility.

Last updated on Jan 30, 2018by Alyssia Granger Rate this Article: Rating: 3.3/ 5 (21 votes cast)When an ovulation predictor kit tests positive it means that there has been a spike in LH levels in the body, indicating that ovulation is most likely to occur within 24-72 hours. When it comes to getting pregnant, you would think the smartest choice that you can make is to have sex often as more sex increases your chances for conception. Right? Wrong!Claim Your 20 Free Ovulation Tests – Click Here What is Ovulation and How Does it Work? Ovulation is when the egg inside of the follicle in either of the ovaries grows and matures, and is then released into the fallopian tubes. This way the egg is waiting for the sperm to fertilize it which is the only time a pregnancy can be achieved. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are working and helping the egg mature to prepare for ovulation. The FSH levels rise and a day to several days before ovulation, the LH starts to surge which is a sign that ovulation is on its way. It is important to pay attention to your ovulation cycles with ovulation tests to ensure that you focus your attention on the most optimum times."

It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, which is the Sunday nearest November 30, and ends on Christmas Eve (Dec 24). If Christmas Eve is a Sunday, it is counted as the fourth Sunday of Advent, with Christmas Eve proper beginning at sundown.©This is an Advent symbol of Jesus from Rev 1:8 and 22:13: \"\"'I am the Alpha and the Omega [the first and the last, the beginning and the end],' says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty\"\" (see also Isaiah 44:6). The blue letter is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph, and the purple is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, Omega. Not only does this symbolize the One who has come and will come again, it also emphasizes the continuity of God's work in history throughout both the Old and New Testaments. The Meaning of \"\"Advent\"\"The word Advent means \"\"coming\"\" or \"\"arrival.\"\" The focus of the entire season is preparation to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent, and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in his Second Advent. Thus, Advent is far more than simply marking a 2,000 year old event in history. It is celebrating a truth about God, the revelation of God in Christ whereby all of creation might be reconciled to God. That is a process in which we now participate, and the consummation of which we anticipate."

Green is the color of the Season after Pentecost and it is also the color symbolizing Epiphany. Epiphany is the third season of the church year. The word \"\"epiphany\"\" means \"\"making God manifest\"\". It marks the manifestation of Jesus to the Gentiles. It reminds us that while Jesus was a Jew and spoke largely to Jewish crowds during his life on Earth, he also spoke to non-Jews. It was made very clear to the Apostles after the crucifixion that they were to spread the Word to all, Jewish or otherwise. The primary theme is Baptism, beginning with the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord. This season begins on the Day of the Epiphany and lasts until Ash Wednesday at the beginning of Lent. The liturgical color of green is used on vestments, representing the green things of God's earth and referring to growth of the spirit of God within us in response to His coming at Christmas."

"text": "The Meaning of a Bell in a Dream December 13, 2013 · Amy Campion What does it mean to dream of bells? Advent Calender Day 13: Bells Welcome to the thirteenth day of the Dream Well advent calender! Today we are looking at dreams of bells. In our dream we may see bells, or hear them or both. Bells are important to many religions and cultures around the world. They may be deep and resonant, light and joyous, sad or celebrational. Bells are not things we see or hear as often as we might have in previous generations, but their symbolic significance still holds a profound sway over many of us. And while we may not see actual bells so often in day to day life, we still have more abstract bells around us in many forms – door bells, the “ring tones” on our phones, the alarm clock and so on. So what does it mean to dream of bells? Bells call us to prayer, so in a dream they may symbolise a spiritual calling, or even a special message we are about to receive."

It is revised and now includes the 1962 Extraordinary Form dates for Christmas. This post contains tables which may not be easily displayed on mobile devices. The Christmas season ended on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Or did it? It seems inevitable every Christmas that there will be polite disagreement among Catholics as to when the Christmas season officially ends. Usually the discussion revolves around when to take down the Christmas decorations. Most of my friends will wait until after the Epiphany or after the Baptism of the Lord. But every year someone will say that that they are following the traditional and official end of the Christmas season, February 2nd, 40 days after Christmas, which is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord or Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary (commonly called Candlemas, in Greek Hypapante )."

I shall say it again: rejoice!” ( cf. Phil 4:4). This is done by turning away from the eschaton “last things” toward the Lord’s Nativity in Bethlehem. It is the season of preparing a joyful conclusion with the angel’s announcement of great joy (cf. Lk 2:10) in the birth of the Christ Child. In today’s Gospel (Lk 3:10-18) John the Baptist dispenses his advice of repentance in order to avail God’s mercy and its outcome is joyful. God will say to those who obey him: “Rejoice with me” upon finding the lost sheep (cf. Lk 15:6). “"

August 2, 2013 By Beginning and End“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:17. What did the first century church fathers believe about the Rapture? Were they pre-tribulation or post-tribulation? What did the disciples of the Apostles of Jesus Christ teach about the Rapture? This article will present the writings of the early church fathers – from those who learned under the disciples of Jesus Christ, to the church leaders of the second and third centuries, on the Rapture – the supernatural removal of all Bible-believing Christians from Earth to enter Heaven. While the writings of the first, second and third century Christian church fathers are not Scripture and not on par with the Bible in any way, it is informative to see how the early church leaders interpreted Scripture in addition to what the learned directly from those closest to The Lord Jesus Christ. And definitively, the few writings still in existence on the end times, put the timing of the Rapture before the Great Tribulation. This article will also serve to dispel some of the common misconceptions about Rapture theology as being something invented in the 19th century by a man named John Darby."

It also is associated with a period of shopping which comprises a peak season for the retail sector (the \"\"Christmas (or holiday) shopping season\"\"), and a period of sales at the end of the season (the \"\"January sales\"\"). Christmas window displays and Christmas tree lighting ceremonies when trees decorated with ornaments and light bulbs are illuminated, are traditions in many areas.

[ 11] [9] However, as the economic impact involving the anticipatory lead-up to Christmas Day grew in America and Europe into the 19th and 20th centuries, the term \"\"Christmas season\"\" began to become synonymous instead with the traditional Christian Advent season, [12] the period observed in Western Christianity from the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day until Christmas Day itself."

Although German and Anglo-Saxon holiday traditions are now inextricably linked, there are some noteworthy differences worth exploring. Here are ten of our favorite German Christmas traditions, with some historical background, anecdotes and even delicious recipe suggestions. Advent Calendar ( Adventskalendar)The Advent Calendar counts down the four weeks leading up to Christmas Eve and is one of childhood’s greatest memories. Every day during the Advent season a new door on the Advent calendar is opened. Each opened door proceeds to reveal a sweet chocolate! The Advent calendar tradition began with plain cards with paper backings and 24 “windows” that opened to reveal Christmas scenes. Today you can get original German advent calendars with religious motifs and advent calendars containing cute figures or chocolates for boys and girls.

By John Temple / March 18, 2011What would you think if police could make up the laws as they went along? Sounds scary, right? That’s not how things are supposed to work in America. Yet that’s exactly how the Honolulu Police Department is operating when it comes to the Hawaii law that requires it to make certain information about itself and its officers public. HPD continues to withhold the salaries of police officers, claiming they may someday be undercover. Civil Beat All state agencies and all City and County of Honolulu departments — except the police department — have complied with a law requiring the names, salaries and job titles of government employees to be public. The police department last year effectively denied a Civil Beat request for the names, salaries and job titles of its employees. Here is the relevant language of Hawaii law:§92F-12 Disclosure required. ( a) Any other provision in this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, each agency shall make available for public inspection and duplication during regular business hours: (14) The name, compensation (but only the salary range for employees covered by or included in chapter 76, and sections 302A-602 to 302A-640, and 302A-701, or bargaining unit (8)), job title, business address, business telephone number, job description, education and training background, previous work experience, dates of first and last employment, position number, type of appointment, service computation date, occupational group or class code, bargaining unit code, employing agency name and code, department, division, branch, office, section, unit, and island of employment, of present or former officers or employees of the agency; provided that this paragraph shall not require the creation of a roster of employees; and provided further that this paragraph shall not apply to information regarding present or former employees involved in an undercover capacity in a law enforcement agency;The department has argued that it’s unclear which officers should be covered by the exemption for current and former undercover employees."

A wonderful, entertaining series with two presenters that quite a lot of people have grown up with. The two Geordie lads are very funny and give the show that extra sparkle. The idea of being able to 'grab the ads' that you've seen is original and throw in a few other extra tidbits like 'what's next?' and 'Jim didn't fix it for me' and you've got a good hour long series that makes you wish it was on everyday. Now as a 15 year old I'm trying hard not to point out that Dec is very hot and that is a very appealing 'must-watch' thing but it's true, and he can't get away without a mention so there it is lol. Overall the show is a great family show, suitable for all really, very entertaining, very funny with two fantastic presenters. Yay!! Don't miss it!5 out of 8 found this helpful.

From left to right: Raúl Esparza, Kelli Giddish, Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T, Peter Scanavino. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a spin-off of the crime drama Law & Order, follows the detectives who work in the \"\"Special Victims Unit\"\" of the 16th Precinct of the New York City Police Department, a unit that focuses on crimes involving rape, sexual assault, and child molestation, as well as any crime loosely connected with any of the three, such as domestic violence, kidnapping, and child abandonment. Since its debut in September 1999, the series has followed the career of Olivia Benson, as she progresses from the rank of Detective, working with a partner (initially Elliot Stabler, and later Nick Amaro ), to Lieutenant, replacing Donald Cragen as commanding officer of SVU. The unit also has a prosecutor assigned from the District Attorney's office, and frequently interacts with medical examiners and psychiatrists. Three of the regular characters have appeared in three other NBC series: Captain Donald Cragen (Florek), who was on the first three seasons of Law & Order, Sergeant John Munch (Belzer), formerly a Baltimore detective on Homicide: Life on the Street. This character also made appearances on Law & Order, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Arrested Development, The Beat, The X-Files, and the HBO series The Wire. Alexandra Cabot (March) was a lead character in the first and only season of Conviction where she had been promoted to Bureau Chief ADA.

How Sunrise police make millions selling drugs Crime Automotive Industry Dining and Drinking By Megan O'Matz and John Maines Photos and videos by Susan Stocker SUNRISE — Police in this suburban town best known for its sprawling outlet mall have hit upon a surefire way to make millions. They sell cocaine. Undercover detectives and their army of informants lure big-money drug buyers into the city from across the United States, and from as far north as Canada and as far south as Peru. They negotiate the sale of kilos of cocaine in popular family restaurants, then bust the buyers and seize their cash and cars. Police confiscate millions from these deals, money that fuels huge overtime payments for the undercover officers who conduct the drug stings and cash rewards for the confidential informants who help detectives entice faraway buyers, a six-month Sun Sentinel investigation found. Police have paid one femme fatale informant more than $800,000 over the past five years for her success in drawing drug dealers into the city, records obtained by the newspaper show. Undercover officers tempt these distant buyers with special discounts, even offering cocaine on consignment and the keys to cars with hidden compartments for easy transport."

First off, follow this link to get email notifications on when the applications open and to get other random updates on the program. Once the applications are open the process is fairly simple. Fill out the application, take the web interview, have a phone interview and get accepted or declined. But there is a little more to it than that. The application is pretty straightforward, like any other job application you would fill out, they ask where you live, where you go to school, etc. They will also ask you which park you prefer and to rank the roles that you want. This is a big page with all the possible roles that you could potentially do in the parks and you have to give a ‘high interest’, ‘medium interest’, or ‘low interest’ to every role, you may also leave some blank. Depending on who you talk to they will say the more roles you say you are interested in, the more likely you are to get into the program, but I have also seen people who only put the one role they want get accepted. Either way, remember that if accepted, you can not change your role, so what ever you put down you want to be happy doing for 5-8 months."

Undercover Characters Headscratchers Series Trivia YMMVCreate New About the series in general, wouldn't it have made more sense for KC Undercover to be on Disney XD? That's where all the action-oriented shows are. Given all the spy action, the whole \"\"working for the government\"\" premise, and all the awesome tech featured, the setting and tone surely qualify it for a Disney XD show. All other shows that currently air on Disney Channel are geared towards music and family-themed comedies. Disney's live action and animation departments are becoming much more gender specific these days. Live action shows with female leads (or co-leading female leads instead of supporting, like Austin And Ally) are always on Disney Channel while Disney XD always gets shows with boy protagonists. Take the then upcoming Mech X4. The show started on Disney Channel with reruns on both DC and Disney XD, but it eventually had its premieres and encores strictly on Disney XD midway through season 1. Regarding animation, it's more or less the same principle. Boy centric (or male leading) shows with a TV-Y7 rating become Disney XD shows since Toon Disney's conversion to Disney XD targeting only boys."

Elvis Aaron Presley, did not die on that fateful day. He was only removed from the public eye to continue in his fight against drug use. It had been rumored that he had died from a drug overdose. It is a well known and documented fact that Elvis had always been a strong believer and fighter against communism and drug use. In a meeting with President Richard Nixon on December 20, 1970, Elvis stated his true feelings against drugs and communism, believing that the two were definitely related. At that time, the President appointed him to be a Special Agent in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (now known as the Drug Enforcement Agency or DEA).

Released worldwide in March 2017, it is the fourth major entry in the Mass Effect series and the first since Mass Effect 3 (2012). The game begins within the Milky Way Galaxy during the 22nd century, where humanity is planning to populate new home worlds in the Andromeda Galaxy as part of a strategy called the Andromeda Initiative. The player assumes the role of either Scott or Sara Ryder, an inexperienced military recruit who joins the Initiative and wakes up in Andromeda following a 634-year journey. Events transpire that result in Ryder becoming humanity's Pathfinder, tasked with finding a new home world for humanity while also dealing with an antagonistic alien race, the kett, and uncovering the secrets of a mysterious synthetic race, the Remnant. For Mass Effect: Andromeda, Bio Ware incorporated a lighter tone than previous installments in the series, utilized open world elements, and placed an emphasis on exploration. Many of the series' traditional gameplay elements remain, while others are modified, such as combat, which is less cover -based and more mobile. The game is the largest in the series, and offers the player the freedom to focus on either the main quest or side quests. Its score was composed by John Paesano and aims to match the game's mood by capturing the adventure of space exploration. In contrast to the original Mass Effect trilogy, which was spearheaded by Bio Ware's Edmonton studio, Mass Effect: Andromeda was handled by a new team out of Montreal."

"text": "\"'Mass Effect: Andromeda' Havarl Vault: Location, guide and how to ascend it By Brittany Vincent | March 24, 2017Mass Effect: Andromeda has several mysteries you'll need to uncover, including the vaults on each planet filled with areas you can explore. They'll often have puzzles and other (more difficult) subsections, and you'll first have to find Remnant glyphs and solve puzzles to access them — but they're well worth the wait. Here's how you can access Havarl's vault, according to personal experience and some tips from Prima Games. Mass Effect: Andromeda: Havarl vault location and guide First of all, you'll need to be on Havarl, having completed the prior mission \"\"Helping Havarl's Scientists.\"\" Find Kiiran Dals, whom you should have already been speaking to after this mission. You've already saved her scientist team from the Remnant monolith, so it's time to go back to her for another mission. She's full of gloom about Havarl and its increasingly austere conditions. Her companion, Torvar, will tell you there's a mission monolith on the planet, so while you may normally have three to contend with, there's only two. You've got to resolve the issues on Havarl by resetting the vault. From where you met Kiiran Dals, you need to look for the Chasm of the Builders."

"text": "\" [Physics FAQ] - [Copyright]Updated 2014 by Don Koks. Original by Steve Carlip (1997) and Philip Gibbs 1996. Is The Speed of Light Everywhere the Same? The short answer is that it depends on who is doing the measuring: the speed of light is only guaranteed to have a value of 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum when measured by someone situated right next to it. But let's approach the question by considering its various meanings. Does the speed of light change in air or water? Yes. Light is slowed down in transparent media such as air, water and glass. The ratio by which it is slowed is called the refractive index of the medium and is usually greater than one. * This was discovered by Jean Foucault in 1850."

[ 4] Its name stems from the area of the sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda. The 2006 observations by the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed that the Andromeda Galaxy contains approximately one trillion stars, [10] more than twice the number of the Milky Way’s estimated 200-400 billion stars. [ 13] The Andromeda Galaxy, spanning approximately 220,000 light years, is the largest galaxy in our Local Group, which is also home to the Triangulum Galaxy and other minor galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy's mass is estimated to be around 1.76 times that of the Milky Way Galaxy (~0.8-1.5 × 10 12 solar masses [9] [10] vs the Milky Way's 8.5 × 10 11 solar masses). The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in ~4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy [14] or a large disc galaxy. [ 15] With an apparent magnitude of 3.4, the Andromeda Galaxy is among the brightest of the Messier objects [16] - making it visible to the naked eye on moonless nights, [17] even when viewed from areas with moderate light pollution.

Among other notable deep sky objects, Andromeda constellation contains the famous Andromeda Galaxy ( Messier 31) and the dwarf elliptical galaxies Messier 32 (Le Gentil) and Messier 110. FACTS, LOCATION & MAPAndromeda is the 19th largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 722 square degrees. It is located in the first quadrant of the northern hemisphere (NQ1). Andromeda can be seen at latitudes between +90° and -40°. The neighboring constellations are Cassiopeia, Lacerta, Pegasus, Perseus, Pisces and Triangulum. Andromeda has three stars brighter than magnitude 3.00 and three stars located within 10 parsecs (32.6 light years) of Earth."

"text": "\"Riaan Engelbrecht, I am an addicted reader of books by Hawking, Bryson, Degrasse Tyson and Kaku Updated Mar 28, 2017 · Author has 396 answers and 1.1m answer views If you travel at 99.5% of the speed of light, departing on 25 December 2015 for 5 years in a circular route and return to Earth, you will only have aged 5 years, but everyone else on Earth will have aged 50 years and the date will be 25 December 2065. You have therefore traveled into the future. If you traveled in a straight line, you will have reached a point 50 light years away from earth. For the crew on the space ship, they would have experienced travel at 10 times the speed of light. So according to them, they traveled faster than light. You cannot reach the speed of light since you have mass, as explained hundreds of times on Quora in different posts. Unless we develop technology like the Alcubierre drive, we will always have relativistic time dilation effects and large discrepancies between the time experienced by our space ship crews and the rest of humanity remaining on Earth. Look at it this way: When you travel in space, the faster you go, the more energy you have to exert on your space ship to increase your speed. Approaching the speed of light, your relativistic mass (or momentum) increases quadratically. For you as an observer on your space ship, you are stationary and the rest of the universe is flying past you at close to the speed of light."

The descriptive \"\"milky\"\" is derived from the appearance from Earth of the galaxy – a band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος ( galaxías kýklos, \"\"milky circle\"\"). [ 21] [22] [23] From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. [ 24] Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, [25] observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies."

Answered Jul 22, 2015 · Author has 177 answers and 295.8k answer views Tough question, but an A2A, so I will try and answer. Please be kind, anything related to relativity is hard to express and explain : P Plain of simultaneity: First let me explain simultaneity (or the lack of it) first, using the famous train example: Consider a train, with a source of light placed near the middle of the train, and two observers, one on the train sitting near the source of light and other standing on a platform, respect to which the train is moving. Now as the train starts moving, we switch the light source on. The person who is on the train, sees the light beam reach both the ends of the train at the same time. But the person on the platform sees the light beam reach the rear end before the front end, due to the motion of the train. And so there is no absolute time frame, a person's velocity decides what they perceive as their present. The Andromeda paradox: Suppose two people are travelling towards each other, one towards the Andromeda galaxy and the other away from it, at enormous speeds. The 2 people will have different planes of simultaneity (that is they will have different \"\"presents\"\")."

"text": "How to craft Shepard's N7 armor in Mass Effect: Andromeda By Tyler Wilde 2017-03-21T23:11:32.79ZWith enough research points and lots of iridium and platinum, you can regain a classic look. Comments Thanks in part to our friends at Games Radar, we noticed that there's N7 armor stashed away in Mass Effect: Andromeda's research screen. Research it, build it, and tweak the colors, and you've got yourself the classic Mass Effect trilogy look. I miss Commander Shepard, but given that she's probably not going to show up in Andromeda after hundreds of years—she's just dusty old bones at this point—I can at least pay tribute with some red and grey armor. First, you'll need to collect a bunch of Milky Way research points. These are mostly acquired by scanning technology, so peer through your scanner's orange window often to see if there's anything you can catalog. Once you have 250 points you can research the whole armor set. Head to a research station—the one on your ship is located at the central table, with the AVP and Strike Team terminals—and find the N7 armor set under 'Milky Way Technology.' Research them, back out of the research menu, and then head to the development menu. Here's the hard part: to build this classic carapace you're going to need a lot of Omni-Gel canisters, copper, iridium, and platinum."

Well, it's all about the holidays Updated on August 7, 2014 at 1:30 PM Posted on July 29, 2014 at 1:45 PM403 Forbidden By Sally Pearsall [email protected] MOBILE, Alabama -- Mobile County's public schools open on Thursday, Aug. 7. That's eight days of summer left for the 59,000 students who attend the 89 schools in the district. The other nearby districts and private schools aren't starting quite that soon, but still, the summer seems unusually short. Satsuma City Schools open Aug. 11; Chickasaw City Schools, Saraland City Schools and Mobile's parochial schools open Aug. 13; and Baldwin County schools open Aug. 18. School districts are required by state law to have 180 days of instruction, or the equivalent of 1,080 hours of instruction, but it's up to each district to decide how to schedule them. Some districts, such as Chickasaw and Saraland, have 175-day calendars. Most school calendars are created by a committee, which comes up with several options to be presented to all school employees for a vote. Mobile County's panel included teachers, administrators, a representative from the local Alabama Education Association teachers' union, and central office staffers, said Martha Peek, superintendent of the Mobile County school system. For Mobile's calendar, the committee members took note of the days near holidays in which the school system reported the most absences, Peek said."

"text": "Sales Tax for the Clothing and Apparel Industry From Corsets to Choir Robes Whether you sell clothing and apparel in New York, California, Texas, Florida (the four most populous states in the U. S.) or anywhere in between, handling sales tax is considerably less interesting than calculating per capita industrial tarp usage. Yet in the gloomy realm of dull but critical compliance-related tasks, sales tax management wields mighty powers. With the right tools, strong sales tax management can lead to streamlined processes, stronger financials, and cost savings. Handled incorrectly, sales tax can unravel the fabric of your bottom line with costly audit fines, penalties, and interest. Why must a person, a creative beleaguered person such as yourself, toil under the hardboiled rules of commerce and compliance like a shopping-weary big box customer on Christmas Eve? Ignore, underestimate, or relegate sales tax to the Excel spreadsheets of the back office if you must, but a penny saved is a penny earned when it comes to developing a sales tax strategy that works. Sales tax for the clothing and apparel industry dives into the deep dark caverns of product taxability, an area of complexity so arcane, even the most intrepid sales tax expert can lose her way. Luckily, there are four truths that can shed light on the process of developing an effective sales tax management strategy. First truth: You can’t be a tax expert in every state. We were growing as a company and in retail locations when we decided it was time to update our logic and have an automated system that would calculate the rates for that retail location for us.—sales tax manager at leading footwear manufacturer."

Civil War Since 1900Topics: African-Americans - Cities - Politics Alabama portalv t e Alabama became a state of the United States of America on December 14, 1819. After, the Indian wars and removals of the early 19th century forced most Native Americans out of the state, white settlers arrived in large numbers, bringing or importing African slaves in the domestic trade. In antebellum Alabama, wealthy planters created large cotton plantations based in the fertile central Black Belt of the upland region, which depended on the labor of enslaved Africans. Tens of thousands of slaves were transported to and sold in the state by slave traders who purchased them in the Upper South. Elsewhere in Alabama, poorer whites practiced subsistence farming. By 1860 blacks (nearly all slaves) comprised 45 percent of the state's 964,201 people. The state's wealthy planters considered slavery essential to their economy. As one of the largest slaveholding states, Alabama was among the first six states to secede. It declared its secession in January 1861 and joined the Confederate States of America in February. During the ensuing American Civil War Alabama had moderate levels of warfare."

"text": "\"Submitted by Jonas Persson on June 22, 2015 - 10:18am By Jonas Persson and Mary Bottari At a time when other states are reinvesting in public education, Wisconsin continues to slash and burn. The Wisconsin Budget Project says that the state is now spending $1,014 less per public school student than it did in 2008 and more funds are slated to be siphoned off as Governor Scott Walker's budget proposes an unprecedented voucher expansion, draining funds from public education and directing them to for-profit and religious schools. In crafting the budget, Walker is taking his cues from the American Federation for Children (AFC), a major force for school privatization nationwide. It is funded and chaired by billionaire Betsy De Vos, and pushes its privatization agenda in the states with high-dollar lobbying and attack ads. It also pushes \"\"model bills\"\" through the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC ). Disgraced former Wisconsin lawmaker and longtime Scott Walker friend and ally Scott Jensen is a \"\"senior advisor\"\" to AFC and often represents the group at ALEC meetings. Backing this agenda is the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation, which has spent $31 million since 2001 on groups and individuals pushing for school vouchers and school privatization. Dramatic Cuts to K-12 Education Governor Scott Walker's 2011-2013 budget slashed funding for K-12 education by $792 million —the biggest cut to education in Wisconsin's history. That Walker budget also removed the enrollment cap on the Milwaukee school voucher (or \"\"parental choice\"\") program, which allows K-12 students to attend private and religious schools on taxpayer money, much of which is taken from the public school district. The program currently enrolls 26,000 students at an annual cost to the state of $191 million (an average of $7,300 per child) funneled to private and for-profit schools each year, taking $61 million of that directly from the already struggling Milwaukee Public Schools."

Disenfranchised By JIM RUTENBERG JULY 29, 2015O n the morning of his wedding, in 1956, Henry Frye realized that he had a few hours to spare before the afternoon ceremony. He was staying at his parents’ house in Ellerbe, N. C.; the ceremony would take place 75 miles away, in Greensboro, the hometown of his fiancée; and the drive wouldn’t take long. Frye, who had always been practical, had a practical thought: Now might be a good time to finally register to vote. He was 24 and had just returned from Korea, where he served as an Air Force officer, but he was also a black man in the American South, so he wasn’t entirely surprised when his efforts at the registrar’s office were blocked. Adopting a tactic common in the Jim Crow South, the registrar subjected Frye to what election officials called a literacy test. In 1900, North Carolina voters amended the state’s Constitution to require that all new voters “be able to read and write any section of the Constitution in the English language,” but for decades some registrars had been applying that already broad mandate even more aggressively, targeting perfectly literate black registrants with arbitrary and obscure queries, like which president served when or who had the ultimate power to adjourn Congress. “ I said, ‘Well, I don’t know why are you asking me all of these questions,’ ” Frye, now 83, recalled. “"

Cuomo today kicked off the Excelsior Scholarship Campaign touring SUNY and CUNY campuses to make college tuition free for middle-class families across New York. At a rally at Buffalo State University with a crowd of over 600 students and local supporters, Western New York leaders including Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas, Mayor Brown and County Executive Mark Poloncarz endorsed the Governor’s plan to make college possible for New York families making under $125,000 per year. Approximately 80 percent or 68,712 Western New York families would qualify to attend SUNY or CUNY tuition free under the Governor’s bold proposal. As part of the new campaign, the Governor is also deploying Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul and cabinet members to meet with students and faculty at SUNY and CUNY Campuses statewide in support of the first-ever free tuition plan at both two- and four-year colleges. The Governor also announced New York State will host the first ever statewide coding competition for SUNY and CUNY students at all campuses, the \"\"Making College Possible Coding Challenge.” The challenge will encourage students to use technology to share information about the Excelsior Scholarship. “ In New York, education was always the great equalizer, but today far too many young people have been deprived of the advanced degree they need to get ahead, compete in the global economy, and secure the jobs of tomorrow,” Governor Cuomo said. “ The Empire State is sending a message loud and clear that under the Excelsior Scholarship program students’ dreams of higher education will be realized no matter how much money is in their pocket or the neighborhood they come from. We are at a time of transformation – and New York will be the first in the nation to enact free tuition for middle-class families and move our economy forward. So to the Senate and Assembly I say, pass this plan and the rest of the country will follow."

If you are Facebook addicted like me, you must have tried some methods to open Facebook when it is blocked by the administrator. And, I’m sure that you end up with some unsuccessful attempts. Most of the schools, colleges or offices keep the social networking sites blocked so that the students or employees cannot open it. That is why we receive many emails asking “ how to access Facebook if blocked “.11 WAYS TO ACCESS AND OPEN FACEBOOK WHEN IT IS BLOCKED IN YOUR SCHOOL OR OFFICEThe common problem you may come across while surfing Facebook at school or workplaces is that the admins block it from entire the network.

The long slog of assessing the damage across the region began Monday. Miami-Dade and Broward counties were spared the worst of the storm, but the Florida Keys were hit hard. Ten people were declared dead in Cuba. Now, Jacksonville is flooding. Stay with the Miami Herald for the latest reports. Jungle Island’s animals are safe, but the park didn’t fare as well11:55 p.m.: All of Jungle Island’s 600 monkeys, birds and other animals weathered Hurricane Irma “just beautifully” — but the park, “not so much,” said Christopher Gould, the park’s managing director. Breaking News Be the first to know when big news breaks SIGN UP“We have weeks of work ahead of us to overcome this type of damage,” said Gould, who rode out Hurricane Irma at the theme park with about 10 other people. “ Our landscape director, who was with the company during Hurricane Andrew, said the tree damage was worse this time around. ”Gould, who didn’t know when the park would be able to reopen, said there were hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and dozens of trees down everywhere, but workers are still assessing the damage.—CARLI TEPROFFRead the full story here."

The hit time-travel drama stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore. The genre-bending show is based on the series of novels by Diana Gabaldon, with each season adapting one tome from Gabaldon’s eight-book series, which is ongoing. Season 3 will adapt Gabaldon’s “Voyager,” while Season 4 will be based on “Drums of Autumn.” The series is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Story Mining and Supply Company, and Left Bank Pictures in association with Sony Pictures Television. Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said of the renewal, “‘ Outlander ’ is like nothing seen before on television. From its depiction of a truly powerful female lead character, to the devastating decimation of the Highlander way of life, to what is a rarely seen genuine and timeless love story, it is a show that not only transports the viewer, but inspires the passion and admiration of its fans. On this 25th anniversary of the publication of the first book in the U. S., we are thrilled and honored to be able to continue the story that began with author Diana Gabaldon, and is brought to life by the incredibly talented Ronald D. Moore. There are no better storytellers for ‘Outlander’ than this team, both in front and behind the camera. ”Related How ‘Outlander’ Created Its Most Devastating and Powerful Episode Yet Showrunner Ronald D.

Starz Teases Her Fate Next Season In New Photo By Ashraf Khater On 10/12/16 AT 8:08 AM“Power” Season 4 could see one major player getting killed off. In the series’ official Twitter account, Starz shared a teaser photo of La Keisha (La La Anthony), along with the caption, “We're all wondering. # Power TV #Whereis La Keisha.” No additional details were shared regarding the character’s fate next season, but the tweet seemed to hint that La Keisha’s disappearance in the final episodes of “Power” Season 3 will have a major significance in the upcoming installment. In “Power” Season 3, Keisha found out that Tasha St. Patrick (Naturi Naughton) was using their beauty salon as a front to launder Tommy’s (Joseph Sikora) drug money. When Milan (Callan Mulvey) approached Tasha about her scheme, Keisha eavesdropped on their conversation and found out about her friend’s secret. Unsurprisingly, she was livid about Tasha’s betrayal, but the latter told her they can’t stop laundering money because it would raise suspicions. However, Milan then told Tommy that he wanted Keisha dead and ordered the latter to do the deed. The Serbian drug lord told Tommy that he’d have to sever all his connections if he wants to be truly free."

"text": "Upstream5 reasons why Starz with Amazon is worth every penny David Wharton — 2016-02-20 10:00 am Starz / Youtube Let the binge-watching begin!Amazon landed quite a coup this past fall when it signed a deal to bring Starz content to Amazon customers—well, those willing to fork over a monthly subscription, anyway. HBO and Showtime had paved the way for à la carte premium cable content, but Starz had remained one of the biggest holdouts still locked behind the walls of cable and satellite. Thankfully, Amazon’s Starz partnership means those of us who’d been chomping at the bit to watch Ash vs. Evil Dead or Outlander have finally found our salvation. Let the binge-watching begin! Here are five shows that make that monthly Amazon/Starz subscription worth every penny. ( Note: for the purposes of this article, we’re sticking to Starz shows that are still currently airing or due to return for more. Some older Starz series that have already concluded their run, such as Spartacus and Magic City, can be found on traditional streaming services like Netflix. ) 1) Ash vs. Evil Dead (2015–)Honestly, this show alone would be enough to encourage many to grab an Amazon/Starz subscription—yours truly included. Fans have waited decades for Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell to return to the bonkers universe they created in 1981’s The Evil Dead, and Ash vs. Evil Dead proves worth every bit of that wait. The series finds Ashley J. “Ash” Williams (Campbell) back in the “normal world” after the time-hopping antics of 1993’s Army of Darkness, with Ash yet again working a shitty job at a shitty store (although not an SMart)."

The fiction series was inspired by the historical figure of Spartacus, a Thraciangladiator who from 73 to 71 BCE led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic departing from Capua. Executive producers Steven S. De Knight and Robert Tapert focused on structuring the events of Spartacus' obscure early life leading up to the beginning of historical records.

"text": "television Survivor's Remorse Has Been Renewed For Season 3By Jessica Rawden2 years ago Starz just signed on for a third season of Survivor’s Remorse, which is great news for fans of the basketball and family-oriented comedy series. While the comedy didn’t earn one of Starz’s signature early renewals, Season 2 did premiere just a few weeks ago and numbers are up compared to the amount of people who tuned in for Season 1. Sometimes comedies just take a little while for people to warm up to, and it turns out that Survivor’s Remorse may very well be one of those. As noted prior, Survivor’s Remorse has been up in the ratings since Season 2 hit the schedule on August 22. The show now airs behind new comedy Blunt Talk starring Patrick Stewart, which may have helped the numbers some. It’s also possible that some people checked out Survivor’s Remorse after the show initially hit the schedule last year and then stuck with the show when it returned this fall. ( It also probably helps that Starz is up in overall subscribers, as well.) Whatever the reason, Starz is reporting that Survivor’s Remorse ’s audience has grown week to week, increasing a solid 18% from Week 1 to Week 2 in Live + same day numbers. There’s no reason to cancel a program when it is on an upswing. Since Season 2 is still in the process of airing, we don’t have a ton of information regarding a third season of the comedy."

As the Starz network struggled to keep up with their competitors, a Thracian hero arrived to do battle and claim victory: Spartacus. The show lasted f our seasons as of one of the most popular premium networks television shows in history. If you haven’t seen Spartacus for yourself, you can check it out on Netflix. Be warned, once you’ve gotten a taste for the arena, there will be much binge-watching in your future. For now, let’s take a look back at what ultimately proved to be a smashing success for Starz, and discuss some lesser known facts about the series you may not have known… until now!1. Spartacus Is Based On Historical Events And Characters Advertising [x]We all know that when shows or movies add the ol’ “ Based On Actual Events ” line, it rarely means we’ll be watching a true-to-life reenactment of events. More often, the truth is stretched thin over the fiction. Don’t get us wrong when we say Spartacus was based on historical events and characters – we aren’t talking National Geographic levels of accuracy here – but just how closely they stick to what is known about the overarching story of Spartacus from the pages of history may surprise you. Take the titular character, Spartacus himself."

In the first season of the Starz original series \"\"Power,\"\" his character, whose name is Tommy Egan, poured glue on a poor fellow and then set him on fire. In an episode of the current second season he kills a guy. \"\" These things don't bother us,\"\" says his mother, Barbara. \"\" We know he's playing a character,\"\" says his father, Albin. The 38-year-old Sikora, who grew up in the Norwood and Jefferson Park neighborhoods, has played many characters on stage, film and television and his parents have seen almost all of them, beginning shortly after he was 11 and told his mom, \"\"I want to be an actor. \"\" The reason? \"\""

From 1953 to 1961, Paramount owned Telemeter, an ambitious but expensive theater television system that transmitted using closed circuitry – as opposed to broadcast frequencies – over which customers could purchase broadcasts by inserting coins into a collection box. In April 1980, Paramount (then owned by Gulf+Western ), MCA / Universal Studios, Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox partnered with Getty Oil to jointly develop a pay cable service called Premiere. The proposed channel would have maintained exclusive first-run rights to newer feature films distributed by each of the studios (which would have aired nine months before to their initial telecasts on other premium channels), along with carrying films cherry-picked from other studios without any exclusivity."

Fortunately, Starz has given us an exact timeframe, as they've announced the return-date of Season 1. Episode 9 of Outlander is lined up to air on April 4, 2015. Beyond the second half of Season 1, fans also have a second season to look forward to. SPOILER ALERT: The photo that came along with this announcement teases a glimpse of what's ahead. If you haven't read the book, consider yourself warned. Along with this news, Starz shared this very revealing -- remember, spoiler alert! -- photo, which shows Jamie and Claire standing near a very familiar looking set of standing stones... Is this Craigh na Dun? For reference, here's a look at Claire right when she arrived in 18th Century Scotland... Starz shared the new Jamie and Claire photo above with the announcement about Season 1.5, so it's very possible this little preview is a glimpse of what's ahead beyond this Saturday's episode, as opposed to something from the finale. It's not among the Episode 108 photos that were shared previously."

Because — as our anti-hero learns during the hour — while he was busy dodging Lobos/trying to second-guess Angela/stopping Tariq from turning into a juvenile delinquent/wondering where baby Tasha is (JK, because NO ONE ever wonders where baby Tasha is! ), James “Ghost” St. Patrick inadvertently hired one of his biggest enemies… and gave him an all-access pass to his professional and personal lives. It’s a mess. And that’s not even adding in the fact that Lobos dies, Tommy acts really weird and Angela and Jamie both end the episode in tears.

Lucasfilm was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in October 2012, and with a sequel trilogy of films and other works in development, Lucasfilm announced in April 2014 that all previously released expanded universe content would be declared non- canon to the franchise and rebranded as Star Wars Legends. A new company division, Lucasfilm Story Group, would ensure from then on that all forthcoming comics, books, games and other media were non-contradictory to the films, other canon media, and each other. This restructuring left the Star Wars theatrical films, the Clone Wars animated film, and the 2008 Clone Wars animated TV series as the only material embodying the official Star Wars canon. A number of works have subsequently been produced, including the Rebels animated TV series, the 2015 film The Force Awakens and its 2017 sequel The Last Jedi, the 2016 anthology film Rogue One, Star Wars Battlefront II and multiple novels and comic book series.

[ 3] [4] [5] Vader appears in the original span of the saga going from being Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied child who would bring balance to the Force, to his corruption and transformation into Darth Vader, to being the pivotal antagonist, and eventual redemption and fulfillment of the prophecy. The character was created by George Lucas and has been portrayed by numerous actors. His appearances span the first six Star Wars films, as well as Rogue One, and his character is referenced in both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He is also an important character in the Star Wars expanded universe of television series, video games, novels, literature and comic books. Originally a Jedi prophesied to bring balance to the Force, he falls to the dark side of the Force and serves the evil Galactic Empire at the right hand of his Sith master, Emperor Palpatine (also known as Darth Sidious). [ 6] He is also the father of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa, secret husband of Padmé Amidala and grandfather of Kylo Ren. Darth Vader has become one of the most iconic villains in popular culture, and has been listed among the greatest villains and fictional characters ever. [ 7] [8] The American Film Institute listed him as the third greatest movie villain in cinema history on 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains, behind Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates. [ 9] However, other critics consider him a tragic hero, citing his original motivations for the greater good before his fall to the dark side. ["

The J. J. Abrams-directed sci-fi film has been on the top on most people’s “must see” list since Disney first announced there would be a series of new Star Wars films, which wasn’t long after they purchased the legendary franchise from Lucasfilm. While the original trilogy introduced classic vehicles into the Star Wars universe, such as the AT-AT, the Tie Fighter, the X-Wing fighter, and of course, the Millennium Falcon, arguably the only memorable vehicle the prequel trilogy gave fans was the pod racer from Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The Force Awakens looks to improve upon the mostly forgettable vehicles from the prequels, returning to the classic ships and transports from the original films. Many of the vehicles in this film are upgrades to existing ships found in the first six films, while others are brand new to the Star Wars Universe. Let’s take a look at all of the ones we know about so far in this Star Wars – Episode VII – The Force Awakens Vehicle Guide. Rey’s Speeder Advertising [x]Little is known about Rey, including her last name and her past, but it’s clear she makes her living scavenging for parts on her home planet of Jakku. The planet has a harsh desert environment which would take a deadly toll on the unlucky soul crossing it on foot (due to a crashed Tie fighter, perhaps?) but fortunately, Rey has her trusty speeder to help her cross the treacherous terrain. Speeders are a huge part Star Wars universe and are used in various forms across most, if not all, of the planets in the known galaxy."

"text": "114 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment‘Star Wars Rebels’ Renewed for Season 2 Before Series Premiere By Kofi Outlaw10.02.201417 Comments114 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Advertising [x]Disney/Lucas Film seems to be taking a page out of the Disney/Marvel playbook, because they have made the bold move of renewing the new Star Wars animated series Star Wars Rebels before the show has even premiered on Disney XD. Rebels is significant because it officially kicks off the new Star Wars canon and shared universe, which will then expand into the Star Wars Episode VII movie next year, as well as several planned Star Wars spinoff films. In such an ambitious design brand strength is everything, so Disney/Lucas seems to be investing heavily, early on, in Rebels – much like Marvel has done with its TV spinoff Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D., despite some disappointing ratings. Disney Channel’s Worldwide President and CCO Gary Marsh offered the following quote along with the Rebels season 2 announcement: The global expectations for this series could not have been any higher. I am proud to say that the team at Lucasfilm has delivered something that has surpassed even that incredibly high bar – artistically and thematically. Brand strength flows from brand confidence – as demonstrated above. Rebels combines Clone Wars showrunner Dan Filoni and X-Men: Days of Future Past writer Simon Kinberg, for the story of what happened in the years after Episode III and the fall of the Republic, as the Empire took hold of the universe, and a group of unlikely misfits banded together to start what would become The Rebellion. Advertising [x]The key hook to the series right now is how elements it introduces (like the villain, The Inquisitor, and his order of Jedi Hunters) may or may not figure into the plotline of Episode VII.–More: The Characters of Star Wars Rebels–The NY Times thinks that we’ve been critical of Rebels; but just to clarify: we haven’t, so much as Star Wars fans have. The Rebels trailers we’ve posted have gotten less than universal praise (to put it mildly); the previous animated series, Clone Wars took a long time to make it onto a lot fans’ radars – but where that serious was a darker, wartime drama, Rebels looks more happy-go-lucky and child adventurish. Combined with the cartoony animation style, it’s probably going to need some killer storylines and characters to win over a lot of fans."

Raised in the \"\" Little Dixie \"\" area of western Missouri, James and his family maintained strong Southern sympathies. He and his brother Frank James joined pro- Confederate guerrillas known as \"\" bushwhackers \"\" operating in Missouri and Kansas during the American Civil War. As followers of William Quantrill and \"\"Bloody Bill\"\" Anderson, they were accused of participating in atrocities against Union soldiers and civilian abolitionists, including the Centralia Massacre in 1864. After the war, as members of various gangs of outlaws, Jesse and Frank robbed banks, stagecoaches, and trains across the Midwest, gaining national fame and often popular sympathy despite the brutality of their crimes. The James brothers were most active as members of their own gang from about 1866 until 1876, when as a result of their attempted robbery of a bank in Northfield, Minnesota, several members of the gang were captured or killed. They continued in crime for several years afterward, recruiting new members, but came under increasing pressure from law enforcement seeking to bring them to justice. On April 3, 1882, Jesse James was shot and killed by Robert Ford, a new recruit to the gang who hoped to collect a reward on James' head. Already a celebrity in life, James became a legendary figure of the Wild West after his death."

However, in the latest Rebels Recon , Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo revealed a key bit of info about Hera Syndulla (fast-forward to about the 4:45 mark): Rebels Recon #1.13: Inside \"\"Rebel Resolve\"\" | Star Wars Rebels Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 6:27Ever since Hera's name was first announced, everyone assumed she was related to the Twi'lek freedom fighter Cham Syndulla from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but the creators would never give a specific answer when asked about it. So it's kind of funny then that Hidalgo oh-so casually confirmed here that Hera is in fact Cham's daughter. Cham Syndulla leading the charge in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This obviously brings up the question: Could Cham make an appearance on Star Wars Rebels at some point? We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, be sure to check out Eric Goldman's IGN review of last week's episode, and stay tuned for more on the upcoming season finale!Max Nicholson is a writer for IGN, and he desperately seeks your approval."

That decision had been made probably last week,” Mann said. Man said he fully supports the board in its decision.

Young men dressed in their best and most beautiful clothing perform and dance and sing. The main reason actually is quite simple: attentions of marriageable young women. And the ideal men according to traditions are tall and have white eyes and teeth, hence the rolling of the eyes which is popular during this festival. It takes place each year in September when the nomadic Wodaabe people gather at the southern edge of the Sahara and festivities last for about a full week. The end of September marks the end of the rainy season in this part of the country. The most famous place where the Gerewol Festival is held is in In-Gall in northwest Niger, where a large festival, market and series of clan meetings take place for the Wodaabe people.

Jan 9, 2011, 8:46 PMHi My husband and I are planning our summer vacation which will be mid to late September and we are thinking about Wisconsin or Missouri. We kind of know how Missouri weather is in september but have no idea of Wisconsin. I appreciate every year is different but wondered if anyone could give me a rough idea of what to expect. Being Scottish we are used to godawful miserable wet conditions all year round so we kind of hope for something better on our vacations :)Thanks Mentioned in this post Missouri United States Report inappropriate content Related: What are the most popular tours in Wisconsin?

Re: September Weather? Jan 9, 2011, 8:51 PMSeptember weather is generally great. Low humidity, temps in the 60's during the day, 40's at night, and not that rainy. However, once in a while you can also get: daytime temps in the 30's or 40's with snow showers, or daytime temps around 90, so come prepared either way."

"text": "\"Beautiful Dreamer, Stephen Foster, Americas First Folk Song Writer\"\"Beautiful Dreamer\"\" was written by Stephen Foster just before his death in 1864 at age 37. The song became one of his most famous and most popular. However, as with the approximately 200 other songs that Foster wrote during his brief lifetime, he did not receive the recognition or financial reward that he deserved. Stephen Foster was America's first great songwriter, yet he died with 38 cents in a leather poke and a scrap of paper on which he had written a bit of song lyric, \"\"dear friends and gentle hearts.\"\" Stephen Collins Foster was born near Pittsburgh on July 4, 1826, the same day that both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died. Foster died in 1864 when he suffered a fall at home while weak from fever. The fall cut open his head and he died in New York's Bellevue Hospital shortly thereafter. Foster had been suffering from alcoholism for years prior to his accidental death. Young Stephen was able to play tunes on the guitar at age two, and at age ten he performed popular comic songs with local boys. By age 18 he wrote blackface minstrel songs which were the popular folk music of the day."

It is a small tabletop model with an hourly egg turning mechanism that works well with small finch eggs. There are a number of different turning rings for automatic turning of eggs as large as a goose egg to as small as a waxbill's egg. For turning finch eggs, get the universal turning ring (940-28). It can handle eggs that range from 1/4\"\" to 1-1/4\"\". I recommend the model TX-7 over the TX-6 for a number of reasons. Namely, the highly accurate 10 turn solid state thermostat. Each full turn of the control adjusts the temperature approximately 1.7 degrees F. The TX-6, built on the same \"\"body\"\" as the TX-7 has a less accurate thermostat. This is fine for larger chicken eggs, but not for the smaller finch eggs that are more sensitive to the fluctuations in temperature. They don't have the mass to hold the temperature for a long period that larger eggs do."

As usual GG are busy blaming everyone else and making outrageous claims about the supposed good they do. I guess the fact that there have been at least two dozen other rescues involved in our efforts to shut them down, and that at one time they were claiming we were nothing but a bunch of jealous rescues, has slipped their mind. I guess the fact that they accused me of being the ringleader of this effort has slipped their mind too (I am a married guy who runs a Dane rescue, I do not exactly fit their spinster profile) . Or perhaps mentioning me would have prevented them from getting on their high horse at the end of the email, given that I do run a rescue and do know exactly what is involved. They also seem to have forgotten the fact that every single one of the testimonials was sent to us by a real live person, many of whom still have the dogs they adopted from GG.

Find out here how the input of others helps your own thought processes. What Is Critical Thinking? From the time of childhood to that of growing into adulthood, we are taught to use critical thinking in education, business, and our personal lives. But what exactly is critical thinking and why is it important to us? There are many explanations and thoughts on critical thinking, but as a base definition, it is the determination of the meaning of what a person sees around them; basically, it's questioning what they see - from the price of one object against another to whether a person can be trustworthy or not. In everyday life, society is presented with a variety of different opportunities in which critical thinking is involved, but can a group of others help with this? A person presented with some sort of project, where they will be working with other people, will also be using their critical thinking skills. Can these people also help with yours? How does collaboration foster critical thinking?"

"text": "Opinion What being a foster parent is really like April 25, 2014 By : Kevin Schroeder I wrote this many months ago but never published it. It’s a bit of a rant and I apologize for that. To be honest I don’t really know why I’m publishing it. Maybe it’s cathartic (the emotional definition, not the medical definition). These are some things that I’ve wanted to say for a long while. This is my opinion. It is what I believe. But I am open to the possibility of error. This is my take on well over a half decade of trying to have children which ultimately culminated in my adoption of three children whom I love. It was and still is the most difficult thing I have ever been through."

"text": "\"Maverick (1994)User Reviews Add a Review115 Reviews Hide Spoilers Sort by:9 /10Vastly underrated, charming movie Captain Ed 31 December 2001As a kid, I used to watch reruns of the original \"\"Maverick\"\" -- and so I looked forward to seeing this one when it came out in the theaters. I was NOT disappointed! Mel Gibson's Maverick is a bit more goofy than James Garner's, but is every bit as charming, sly, and entertaining. A number of excellent cameos provide some comic relief, especially Danny Glover near the beginning of the movie. But by far the best casting is reserved for the original Maverick, James Garner, who is cast in a featured role, and who has surprises in store for darn near everyone. Most movies remade from old TV series ignore the stars that made them popular enough to BE remade -- kudos to the producers of this film, who apparently know better. Other roles are filled capably; the biggest surprise for me was Jodie Foster, whom I normally dislike on screen. She is very impressive in a rare comedic role, and thankfully discards her repetoire of facial tics for a much more natural performance here. The plot is kept pretty simple until near the end -- and the end has a great twist, which I won't divulge. Suffice it to say that your time will be well spent, and you'll want to revisit Maverick country more than once.79 out of 90 found this helpful."

"text": "As parents, we know that our role in our children’s lives goes far beyond providing them with the basics of food, clothing, and shelter. We also nurture and guide them, and as they grow older we expose them to new experiences and opportunities, encourage them to succeed in school, develop healthy relationships, and build life skills. Although adolescence can be challenging for both kids and parents, every positive interaction we have is a critical opportunity to establish the building blocks that our teens need to succeed down the road in school, work, and family life. Now imagine what it’s like to be a teenager in foster care. As these young people approach legal adulthood, they face tremendous obstacles, including the unrealistic expectation that they will be able to succeed on their own when they turn 18. In fact, over the past decade, more than 200,000 teenagers have aged out of foster care at 18 - often without achieving permanent family connections or those critical building blocks of support. Consequently, too many of them face challenges immediately upon leaving foster care - challenges that don’t just affect this cohort of young people, but that affect us all. A study issued in May 2013 by the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative — and illustrated in a new infographic — shows that, on average, for every young person who ages out of foster care, taxpayers and communities pay $300,000 in social costs like public assistance, incarceration, and lost wages to a community over that person’s lifetime. Do the math and you can conservatively estimate that this problem incurs almost $8 billion in social costs to the United States every year. It’s time to do something."

"text": "Reuben Foster was sent home from the NFL Scouting Combine, but remains a potentially great fit for the Redskins. ( David Goldman/AP Photo)Before the NFL combine, Reuben Foster was considered by many to be the top inside linebacker in this year’s NFL draft. He was expected to be a top 20 pick that could go even higher than Washington’s pick at 17. However, he was involved in an incident in which he reportedly got into an altercation with a hospital worker. That led to him being sent home before he had interviewed with teams or worked out on the field. He has since sent emails to the teams with which he was scheduled to interview, apologizing and letting them know he’s available to talk at his pro day. It’s unclear exactly how much of an impact, if any, this incident will have on how highly Foster is drafted. It may end up only knocking him down a few picks, but even that could play into Washington’s hands nicely. If he were to be on the board when Washington goes on the clock, he would likely be the best available player. While Washington has bigger needs along the defensive line and at free safety, Foster might prove too good to pass on. ["

EARLY DAYS The story has been told many times around Teal campfires of how the first Teal, then called a Worsley, was designed by IAN FOSTER on the back of several fag packets in the bar of The Pack Horse Inn at Affetside, Bury in 1983. Ian had been a chassis designer for Daimler (including the Daimler Dart) before setting up his own business, Trafford Brake Services, in Patricroft, Eccles, near Manchester. At the Pack Horse one night in 1983 ALAN HUNTER told friends IAN FOSTER and TONY ROGERS, part time motor-sport driver, that he had just flown back from America, where he was on business for Mitchell Shackleton Ltd, a large engineering company making marine crankshafts, and at L. A. airport Alan had seen a Bugatti Type 35. In fact the brochure which Alan had picked up showed this to be a rear-engined VW-based fibreglass kit car replica. The glorious Bugatti-style bonnet was,of course, empty. Ian then described on the 'fag packets' how an effective, strong chassis for a front-engined Bugatti replica could be designed to make use of the good GRP bodywork available. Alan listened in silence, then asked quietly: 'would that work?' When Ian and Tony both chorused 'yes! ', Alan told them he would collect £330 off each of them the following week, and he would bring a body kit back from America!"

"text": "\"Fertility Challenges Diagnosis & Testing Day 3 FSH Levels Test By Rachel Gurevich Updated January 30, 2018Share Pin Email Print Echo/Cultura/Getty Images As part of a basic fertility workup, your doctor will likely order blood work to check your FSH levels. Sometimes called the Day 3 FSH test, this is a simple blood test meant to measure the amount of follicle stimulating hormone in your bloodstream. This hormone’s job is to tell the oocytes, or premature eggs, in your ovaries to begin growing. Each oocyte is contained within a follicle or little fluid sac. The growth and development of the oocytes is the first part of the process that will, ideally, lead to ovulation. If FSH levels are abnormally high, this implies that your body requires much more of the hormone to stimulate egg maturation and ovulation. This could indicate that the quality and quantity of eggs in your ovaries are less than ideal. This is a normal part of aging and is more common in women age 38 and up. However, even young women can have high FSH levels. For example, with primary ovarian insufficiency (premature ovarian failure), a woman in her 20s may have high FSH levels."

This risk increases with age, particularly in women over 35 years of age, and with the number of cigarettes smoked. For this reason, CHCs, including Nuva Ring, should not be used by women who are over 35 years of age and smoke. [ See CONTRAINDICATIONS]DESCRIPTIONNuva Ring (etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring) is a non-biodegradable, flexible, transparent, colorless to almost colorless, combination contraceptive vaginal ring containing two active components, a progestin, etonogestrel (13-ethyl-17-hydroxy-11-methylene-18,19-dinor-17α-pregn-4-en-20-yn-3-one) and an estrogen, ethinyl estradiol (19-nor-17α-pregna-1,3,5 (10)-trien-20-yne-3,17-diol). When placed in the vagina, each ring releases on average 0.120 mg/day of etonogestrel and 0.015 mg/day of ethinyl estradiol over a three-week period of use. Nuva Ring is made of ethylene vinylacetate copolymers (28% and 9% vinylacetate) and magnesium stearate and contains 11.7 mg etonogestrel and 2.7 mg ethinyl estradiol. Nuva Ring is not made with natural rubber latex. Nuva Ring has an outer diameter of 54 mm and a cross-sectional diameter of 4 mm.

This risk increases with age, particularly in women over 35 years of age, and with the number of cigarettes smoked. For this reason, hormonal contraceptives, including Xulane, should not be used by women who are over 35 years of age and smoke. Risk of Venous Thromboembolism The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among women aged 15 to 44 who used the norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system compared to women who used several different oral contraceptives was assessed in five U. S. epidemiologic studies using electronic healthcare claims data. The relative risk estimates ranged from 1.2 to 2.2; one of the studies found a statistically significant increased relative risk of VTE for current users of norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile of Ethinyl Estradiol (EE)The PK profile for the norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system is different from the PK profile for oral contraceptives in that it has a higher steady state concentrations and a lower peak concentration. Area under the time-concentration curve (AUC) and average concentration at steady state (C ss) for EE are approximately 60% higher in women using norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system compared with women using an oral contraceptive containing 35 mcg of EE. In contrast, the peak concentration (C max) for EE is approximately 25% lower in women using norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system. It is not known whether there are changes in the risk of serious adverse events based on the differences in PK profiles of EE in women using norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol transdermal system compared with women using oral contraceptives containing 30 mcg to 35 mcg of EE. Increased estrogen exposure may increase the risk of adverse events, including VTE [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Indications and Usage for Xulane Xulane is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use a transdermal patch as a method of contraception."

Women with lower AMH have lower antral follicular counts and produce a lower number of oocytes. AMH level testing can also be very useful for young women who want to postpone childbearing , but want to check their fertility potential before doing so. What is AMH ? AMH stands for Anti-Mullerian Hormone. It is also called MIS (Mullerian Inhibiting Substance) . Since AMH is produced by the granulosa cells lining the ovarian follicles, AMH levels correlate with the number of antral follicles in the ovaries . It has been documented that women with lower AMH have lower antral follicular counts and produce a lower number of oocytes compared with women with higher levels. AMH Reference ranges Interpretation: AMH levels do not change significantly throughout the menstrual cycle and decrease with age. Healthy women, below 38 years old, with normal follicular status at day 3 of the menstrual cycle, have AMH levels of 2.0 - 6.8 ng/ml (14.28 - 48.55 pmol/L)."

"text": "Fertility Articles Low Ovarian Reserve – What does it really mean? Share Share Share By Gail F. Whitman-Elia, MD, MPH, HCLD © West Columbia, South Carolina Many centers have come to rely on ovarian reserve testing in order to identify those patients unlikely to become pregnant prior to initiation of a first IVF treatment cycle. In theory, women unlikely to conceive can be given the opportunity to avoid the financial disappointment associated with an IVF failure. If a patient should still choose to use her own oocytes, then appropriate counseling can be given. Additionally, her treatment schedule can be adjusted in an attempt to optimize the stimulation response although we currently have no good evidence for the effectiveness of such adjustments. Establishing a test regimen that defines the best and the worst potential IVF candidates has been a pursuit of many researchers. Clinical literature is filled with articles addressing this issue. Unfortunately, rather than helping patients make decisions about their treatment, it appears that pre-treatment ovarian reserve testing has generated more patient distress than benefit (1). If you personally have had difficulty understanding what your test results mean you should know that as a professional group IVF practitioners are also conflicted about what the test results mean and how to appropriately apply them in a given situation. What is ovarian reserve?"

Share: FULL STORYScientists are now uncovering increasing evidence that the brain not only responds to hormones produced by the reproductive system, but that these hormones—the so-called “female hormones,” estrogen and progestin, and the “male” androgens, such as testosterone—play an important role in the development of differences between male and female brains. “Understanding the impact of hormones on sex differences in the brain is important for understanding human health and disease,” says University of Michigan biopsychologist Jill Becker, Ph D. “Some conditions—persistent pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia and TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome), for example—are more frequently diagnosed in women than in men. More women than men also suffer from mood disorders, such as major depression, and anxiety disorders. On the other hand, more men than women develop alcoholism and abuse drugs. ”The study of hormone-related differences between male and female brains is not as simple as it may seem at first. Straightforward comparisons of males and females are not possible because of the cyclical nature of reproductive hormone production in females, Becker points out. The menstrual cycle in humans and other primates and the estrous cycle in rats and mice involve constantly changing levels of reproductive hormones in the blood and in the brain. Furthermore, although brain development begins before birth, it continues well into young adulthood, and there is increasing evidence that parts of the brain continue to grow, die back, and change throughout the life span. “Reproductive hormones have effects on all of these stages of brain growth and development,” says Becker. “"

Although the primary mechanism of this action is inhibition of ovulation, other alterations include changes in the cervical mucus (which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus) and the endometrium (which reduce the likelihood of implantation). Pharmacokinetics Absorption No specific investigation of the absolute bioavailability of Falmina™ (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets USP) in humans has been conducted. However, literature indicates that levonorgestrel is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration (bioavailability about 100%) and is not subject to first-pass metabolism. Ethinyl estradiol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract but, due to first-pass metabolism in gut mucosa and liver, the bioavailability of ethinyl estradiol is between 38% and 48%."

The IVF procedure is based on the following steps: (1) preparation for treatment, (2) induction of ovulation, (3) egg retrieval and (4) embryo transfer. If your IVF cycle will involve the use of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), we will need to document that the necessary screening laboratory studies have been completed by the reference lab. The process starts about the time of ovulation in the month prior to the IVF cycle. Each patient will receive a personal calendar with her individual schedule, and the nurse will carefully review the plan and answer any questions you may have. Cycle Preceeding ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) Cycle Initiation of oral contraceptives Initiation of Lupron Step 1: Initiation of Oral Contraceptives We may use birth control pills starting on day 3 of your cycle. There are 2 main reasons for taking birth control pills prior to your IVF cycle. First, taking birth control pills prior to a stimulation cycle may help the ovaries respond better to the stimulation medication. Second, taking birth control pills allows flexibility in coordinating your cycle, so that procedures can be planned around your work schedule, trips and when all the necessary professionals are available."

"text": "h CG (Human Chorionic Gonadrotropin)by Bill Roberts – Proper functioning of the testes is of course necessary for normal male health, but may be impaired by anabolic steroid use or by medical conditions. HCG, an injectable drug, is a primary tool for normalizing impaired testicular function. What Exactly Is HCG? HCG is a natural analog of LH, the pituitary-produced hormone which stimulates sex hormone production in the testes or ovaries. HCG binds and activates the same receptor as LH and is equally effective in stimulating testosterone production in men, or estrogen production in females. This LH analog exists because it provides additional functions required in pregnancy which LH cannot support. These additional functions cannot occur in men and have no practical effect or consequence with regard to using HCG for improved testicular function, and so are omitted here. Pharmaceutical HCGHCG is typically isolated from the urine of pregnant women: the pharmaceutical process of course involves extensive purification. Despite this esoteric sourcing I know of no quality problems with any genuine pharmaceutical brands of HCG. All or nearly all practical experience in bodybuilding is with this HCG type, which is generally sold in vials of lyophilized powder, typically at 5000 or 10,000 IU per vial."

Monitoring these two hormones helps women identify the fertile days of their cycle enabling them to time intercourse on the days when conception is most likely How urinary LH and E3G can be used to identify fertile days There are only a few days per cycle when a woman is fertile and can conceive. Evidence shows that this time of increased fertility usually spans 6 days, starting approximately 5 days prior to ovulation and ending on the day of ovulation itself. 1 The 6-day fertile period is affected by: The lifespan of the egg, which is up to 24 hours after ovulation The lifespan of sperm which is more variable. The median is 1.5 days, but sperm can survive up to 5 days in the sperm supportive mucus found in the fertile days of the cycle. Sperm survival is therefore dependent on the type and quantity of the mucus within the cervix, and the quality of the sperm itself. The two most fertile days of this 6-day window are known as peak fertility days. These peak fertile days are the day prior to ovulation and the day that ovulation takes place. 2Studies show that a surge in LH level occurs 24-36 hours prior to ovulation, 2 and that this LH surge is an accurate and reliable marker of impending ovulation."

It is important to have a full understanding of the way things are supposed to work, especially if you are trying to conceive and starting to worry about your likelihood of success. A good working knowledge of normal events will make the steps that can be taken to evaluate your fertility make more sense. Sperm are constantly being produced in the testicles of the adult male. This process begins at puberty and continues throughout the remainder of the man’s life. The formation of a mature sperm takes about 70 days and can be likened to a conveyor-belt type of process. The sperm begins as a very basic cell and is constantly modified over those 70 days to become a cell that not only contains the male genetic information, but also is capable of actively seeking out and fertilizing an egg. At the time of intercourse and ejaculation, the sperm move from the testicles through the vas deferens, through the urethra, and are deposited in the vagina. The sperm almost immediately begin to travel into the cervix and through the cervical mucus. The majority of sperm that reach the cervical mucus do so within a matter of just a few minutes."

"text": "Female Hormone Panel: Patient Overview The Cyclical Pacing of the Ovaries The human ovary releases its hormones in a cyclical manner, which is referred to as the menstrual cycle. The average cycle is 26-30 days. The timing and pacing of hormone release are governed by Gn RH, FSH, and LH, hormones from the hypothalamus and pituitary glands in the brain. The two major classes of ovarian hormones released during the menstrual cycle are estrogens and progestogens, also known as the female steroid sex hormones. The major and most active estrogen released is estradiol, while the major progestogen is progesterone. The Female Cycle has Three Physiologic Phases: The follicular phase starts with the onset of menstrual blood flow and is of variable length. This phase is normally characterized by both low estrogen and progesterone output. The ovulatory phase is 1 to 3 days long, and the human ovum (egg) is released in this phase. This phase is preceded by high estrogen and LH levels. The luteal phase is rather constant in length, 12-18 days, and ends with menses."

The basic units of proteins and peptides are amino acids, whereas steroids contain the gonane structure. Proteins are relatively large molecules and are water soluble, whereas steroids are small molecules and are generally soluble in organic solvents. Peptides are somewhere in between these two classes of hormones with respect to molecular weight and solubility. BASIC STRUCTURE AND CLASSIFICATION OF STEROIDSThe basic structure of steroids, gonane (cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene), has 17 carbons which are arranged as three six-member carbon rings to which a five-member carbon ring is attached (Fig. 1). Each carbon has one or two hydrogens attached. The gonane structure can be represented without showing the carbons and hydrogens, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1.

"text": "Home – Trying to Conceive – Fertility Test – Fertility Test: Checking Progesterone Levels Fertility Test: Checking Progesterone Levels Progesterone is a hormone produced mainly in the ovaries by the corpus luteum (what the follicle turns into after it releases the egg). Progesterone helps prepare the uterus for the implantation of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg implants, progesterone then helps the uterine lining (endometrium) to maintain the pregnancy. Why Would You Have Progesterone Levels Checked? You might have your progesterone checked as part of a fertility work up if you have having trouble getting pregnant or as part of a blood work panel during a fertility treatment cycle to see if you have ovulated. If your progesterone levels are elevated within a normal range, it confirms that ovulation has occurred. If you have had a miscarriage, stillbirth, or unusual bleeding from your uterus, your progesterone may also be checked. When Are Progesterone Levels Checked? Your progesterone level is usually checked six to eight days after you ovulate (about day 21 of a day 28 cycle). This is because progesterone levels rise following ovulation, peaking five to nine days after ovulation."

What makes it unique is its vital importance to getting – and staying – pregnant. Without the right amount progesterone, it is impossible to get pregnant, and if you do, your body will be unable to nurture that embryo on its way to becoming a full term baby. Progesterone is a key sex hormone which helps in regulating these important fertility functions: Maintaining the lining of the uterus to help nurture a fertilized egg Making the proper amount of cervical mucous Preventing a dangerous s immune rejection of a developing fetus Helping the body to turn fat into energy during pregnancy Increasing the libido around ovulation time Activating osteoblasts to increase new bone formation Protecting against endometrial, breast, ovarian and prostrate cancer Normalizing blood clotting for a safe delivery How does progesterone work within the woman’s body to help maintain a healthy level of fertility?"

Slideshow Dental (Oral) Health Quiz Causes of a Heart Attack Slideshow Test Overview A progesterone test measures the amount of the hormone progesterone in a blood sample. Progesterone is a female hormone produced by the ovaries during release of a mature egg from an ovary (ovulation). Progesterone helps prepare the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to receive the egg if it becomes fertilized by a sperm. If the egg is not fertilized, progesterone levels drop and menstrual bleeding begins. During pregnancy, the placenta also produces high levels of progesterone, starting near the end of the first trimester and continuing until the baby is born. Levels of progesterone in a pregnant woman are about 10 times higher than they are in a woman who is not pregnant. Some types of cancer cause abnormal progesterone levels in men and women. Why It Is Done A progesterone test is done to: Help find the cause of infertility. Monitor the success of medicines for infertility or the effect of treatment with progesterone."

Progesterone is a female sex hormone produced mainly in the ovaries following ovulation each month. It’s a crucial part of the menstrual cycle and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone helps to regulate your cycle, but its main job is to get your uterus ready for pregnancy. After you ovulate each month, progesterone helps thicken the lining of the uterus in preparation for a fertilized egg. If there is no fertilized egg, progesterone levels drop again and menstruation begins. If a fertilized egg does implant in the uterine wall, progesterone helps to maintain the uterine lining throughout pregnancy. Progesterone is necessary for breast development and breast-feeding as well. It complements some of the effects of estrogen, another female hormone. It also plays an important role with testosterone, as it is the precursor for adrenal hormones."

Fertility Issues | 3 Comments8 Tips to Increase Your Odds of Getting Pregnant Subscribe to our fertility tips newsletter and download your free tip sheet. First Name* Email*Get Tip Sheet Marketing by Progesterone Defined Progesterone is one of the most important hormones in a woman’s body and the role it plays in fertility is unquestionable. Commonly referred to as “the pregnancy hormone,” progesterone is a natural female hormone that produced by the corpus luteum to build and maintain the lining of the uterus so that the fertilized egg can implant and grow. Your body creates two of the most critical sex hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Created in the pituitary and called FSH and LH, these hormones are responsible for making sure that cells are stimulated. The Importance of Progesterone in Fertility Treatments According to the National Infertility Association, Progesterone is critical before and during a woman’s pregnancy and its role centers mainly around the creation and maintenance of the lining in the uterus where the fertilized egg will implant itself. Levels of Progesterone Throughout Ovulation Progesterone levels are typically at their highest between days five and nine of a woman’s cycle; after this, hormone levels begin to drop. Day 26 should then be just before a woman’s menstrual period starts. After ovulation, the Progesterone levels begin to rise and the cycle repeats itself."

The average cycle is 26-30 days. The timing and pacing of hormone release are governed by Gn RH, FSH, and LH, hormones from the hypothalamus and pituitary glands in the brain. The two major classes of ovarian hormones released during the menstrual cycle are estrogens and progestogens, also known as the female steroid sex hormones. The major and most active estrogen released is estradiol, while the major progestogen is progesterone. The Female Cycle has Three Physiologic Phases: The follicular phase starts with the onset of menstrual blood flow and is of variable length. This phase is normally characterized by both low estrogen and progesterone output. The ovulatory phase is 1 to 3 days long, and the human ovum (egg) is released in this phase. This phase is preceded by high estrogen and LH levels. The luteal phase is rather constant in length, 12-18 days, and ends with menses."

"text": "Ovulation and Anovulation Common Symptoms, Tests (Blood, Urine)Posted by Dr. Alison Tweet What is Ovulation? Ovulation is the process that occurs when the ovary releases an egg cell (ovum) into the fallopian tube. A woman may fall pregnant at any time but is most fertile during the period of ovulation. This usually occurs 12 to 16 days before the start of menstruation (monthly periods). In a woman with a regular cycle of 28 days, ovulation is likely to occur around the 14th day of the cycle. For women who are actively trying to fall pregnant, it is important to ascertain when ovulation is taking place. The most accurate method to estimate the period of ovulation is via urine or blood tests although saliva home predictor kits, identifying the signs and symptoms associated with ovulation and an ovulation schedule tool (calculator/calender) may also prove useful. For couples who are experiencing difficulty with conceiving, frequent intercourse during the period of ovulation is advisable. If ovulation does not occur ( anovulation ), then fertility treatments may have to be considered. Hormonal Changes during Ovulation Certain hormonal changes occur in a woman’s body around the time of ovulation which give rise to the signs and symptoms associated with ovulation and which form the basis of the tests which predict or confirm ovulation."

Robert Gottesman, M. D. is now retired from his 30 years as a family practice physician. He was among the first to use natural hormones as recommended by Dr. John Lee and provided many insights to the readers of the John R. Lee, M. D. Medical Letter in the years it was published. One of Dr. Gottesman's most important messages to women and men is that there is no single formula for balancing hormones—each person's solutions are a little bit different. We spoke to him about depression and estrogen dominance, Dr. Lee's term for an excess of estrogen caused not necessarily by high levels of estrogen, but by a progesterone deficiency that leaves estrogen without the balancing effect of progesterone. JLML: Dr. Gottesman, what do you rely on to make a decision about how to treat a woman who comes to you complaining of a wide variety of symptoms? RG: There was an interesting British study that showed that 75 percent of the information that leads to a correct diagnosis comes from taking a detailed history. After that, ten percent comes from a physical exam, five percent from routine tests and five percent more from more invasive, sophisticated and costly tests, and in five percent you never find the answers. This has certainly been my experience, that at least 75 percent of what I need to know comes out of a detailed interview—a conversation, if you will. JLML: Have you found any patterns emerging that point to estrogen dominance? RG: To evaluate this, I tend to look at three or four basic areas: fluid changes, mood changes, shifts in the menses and the context in which all of this is happening."

The technique involves the use of certain medications to stimulate a woman’s ovaries to produce one or more eggs, or oocytes. These medications also can be used to control when a woman ovulates, so that sexual intercourse, intrauterine insemination, and in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures can be scheduled at an optimal time. Medication regimens for ovulation induction vary by patient; while some patients may be prescribed a pill that can be taken orally, such as Clomid, others may be prescribed injectable hormone medications, like Gonal-F®. Injectable medications are typically administered at home by the patient and her partner, between the hours of 6 and 11 p.m. Before being prescribed these medications, you and your partner will be taught all necessary administration techniques by our physicians and staff. Your progress will be monitored closely, via regular blood tests and ultrasounds, and your medication dosage will be adjusted accordingly. Blood test and ultrasound results are available from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. It’s important to keep in mind that ALL ovulation-inducing medications carry the risk of side effects. However, these side effects are usually temporary.

Puberty or sexual maturity in the female dog usually occurs around six months of age. The smaller breeds tend to go into estrus or \"\"heat\"\" earlier and some females can have their first \"\"heat\"\" cycle as early as four months of age. On the other hand, the large and giant breeds can be up to two years old before they come into heat for the first time. For many dogs, the first heat is “silent” or does not have clinical signs associated with estrus. Additionally, many dogs’ first estrus cycle is unlikely to allow successful breeding, thus the standard practice of waiting until the second or third heat cycle before breeding. How often do female dogs come into heat? On average, this occurs about twice a year or every six months, although it varies from dog to dog. When cycling first begins, there may be a great deal of variability in the time between cycles. This is normal."

Following a variable period (1 to 21 days) of estrogen level elevation, the LH surge signals the transition from proestrus to estrus. LH stimulates follicular granulosa cells to secrete progesterone. The LH surge is the key timing event dictating days of peak fertility. Ovulation begins 2 days post-LH surge and continues for another day or so. Ova mature and are capable of fertilization 2 days later. Mature ova live another 1-3 days. Optimal breeding times are day 4, 5, and 6 post-LH surge.

In fact if you search tax forums one of the most common questions are around differences between the 3 WMR status trackers which are Return Accepted, Refund (Return) Approved and Refund Sent (with direct deposit date). The tracker is updated daily (~3AM EST) so there is no need to constantly check it. You can start using the WMR website or IRS2Go app to start checking on the status of your return 24 hours after the IRS receives your e-filed return or 4 weeks after you mail a paper return. As the IRS processes your return it will progress through the 3 stages: (1) Return Received, (2) Refund Approved and (3) Refund Sent. Here are more details on each status and what each one means: Status Bar 1: Return Received is the same as “Return Accepted by the IRS.” This means that your tax return has passed initial screens by the IRS covering rudimentary fraud checks, verifying your SSN and ensuring no obvious red flags on your return. Your tax return will remain in this status while the IRS processes it in more detail to ensure it is compliant and the refund amount is accurate. Your refund can remain in the status for a while if it is complex or the IRS feels further information is needed."

"text": "Advertising Disclosure When Will I Get My Tax Refund? 2017 Tax Year Refund Schedule (2018 Tax Season)Posted by Ryan Guina on February 19, 2018 | Taxes The first day to file your 2017 taxes is January 29, 2018. The IRS reports that 9 out of 10 taxpayers who filed electronically in 2017 received their tax refunds within 21 days. Some taxpayers receive their refund in as little as 8 days, and most receive it within 10-14 days. The IRS no longer publishes a tax refund calendar, but they continue to issue guidance stating most taxpayers will receive their refund within 21 days. So we have used IRS guidelines, statements, and historic tax return data to create an IRS refund schedule, which we have published on this page. We have also included additional tax return information, such as a list of important dates and Frequently Asked Questions regarding IRS refund dates. It’s important to note the calendar is an estimate and represents when the majority of tax returns should be processed. IRS E-File Schedule for Tax Refunds via Check or Direct Deposits As alluded to above, the IRS previously released an annual schedule to help tax payers better plan around tax season so tax-filers will know when they can expect to receive their refund check. They stopped this practice in 2013 (2012 tax year) after there were delays in the refund process due to new anti-fraud measures."

"text": "\"RALs vs. Refund Transfers - What's the difference? Refund Anticipation Loans (RALs)RALs are Refund Anticipation Loans. The key word is loans. The taxpayer is borrowing the money from the bank. The loan is secured by the anticipated tax refund which the IRS will forward to the bank. As a result there is a \"\"loan process\"\" just like with any other loan. Loan approval is subject to bank screening and RALs that are declined are converted to PERCs. The RAL check is funded in 1-3 days. The loan is for the taxpayers income tax withholding and all or a portion of the Earned Income Credit (EIC). You print the bank cashiers check in your office."

So if he filed a separate return from you and his name is not on the bank account it is your bank that will reject the deposit, send it back to the IRS and then the refund will be converted to a mailed check to the address on the tax return. This can add 3 weeks or more to the processing time.

If you went thru the H&R Block Tax Cut software and chose simple pay for the fees to be deducted from your refund. Refunds were released to H&R Block so they could get their fees then H&R Block turns around and sends them out. I was told if the IRS website says your refund was deposited on the 25th then everything was ok and that it did actually deposit on that date. But it went to H&R Block first.joeshannallie · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment The IRS generally releases the ACH transactions for tax refunds on Thursday evenings."

"text": "How Long Does it Take to Get Your Tax Refund Back? Posted by Madison on February 14, 2017When filing tax returns, the second question everyone asks is “How long does it take to get my tax refund back?” Of course, the first question everyone asks is “ How much is my refund ?” Tax Refund Direct Deposit versus Mail If you want to get your refund faster, opt for the direct deposit route. Not only will the IRS send your money earlier via direct deposit, but you’ll cut down on the mailing time too. IRS Tax Refund Schedule How long does it take to get your tax refund back? The IRS eliminated the refund schedules that were used in prior years for both direct deposit and mailed refunds. The guideline the IRS is using in 2017 for filing your 2016 tax return is: Don’t count on getting your refund by a certain date to make major purchases or pay other financial obligations. Even though the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, it’s possible your tax return may require additional review and take longer. Essentially, they’re saying most people will get their refunds in less than 21 days (with the exception of the tax credit delays*), but there won’t be any schedules they will follow this year."

"text": "IRS Average Tax Refund1 comment [Updated with latest refund details] As of April 13th, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has said it has received more than 115 million tax returns, with more than 95% of those returns filed electronically and over 80% of those returns resulting in refunds. The IRS generally receives over 140 million returns over the tax season. The IRS also recommends taxpayers who have yet to file explore the numerous online tools and resources available on IRS.gov, which taxpayers visited almost 160 million times so far this year. To date, the IRS has issued nearly 40 million refunds worth $120 billion, with the average refund worth $2,800. This is slightly more than than last year’s average refund at the same time. More than 96 percent of refunds have been paid through direct deposit directly into taxpayer accounts. The tax agency still estimates that 9 out of 10 refunds will go out within 21 days from when a return is filed. But paper filed returns may take up to 7 weeks this year (see the estimated 2015 IRS refund schedule)However there are a number of tax payers who have filed their taxes, but are still waiting to receive their refund. This is likely due to internal processing delays at the IRS, new health care legislation reporting or due to inaccurately filed returns (so double check before filing!). This article provides options on where to get details on your refund status or delay ."

"text": "IRS Average Tax Refund1 comment [Updated with latest refund details] As of April 13th, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has said it has received more than 115 million tax returns, with more than 95% of those returns filed electronically and over 80% of those returns resulting in refunds. The IRS generally receives over 140 million returns over the tax season. The IRS also recommends taxpayers who have yet to file explore the numerous online tools and resources available on IRS.gov, which taxpayers visited almost 160 million times so far this year. To date, the IRS has issued nearly 40 million refunds worth $120 billion, with the average refund worth $2,800. This is slightly more than than last year’s average refund at the same time. More than 96 percent of refunds have been paid through direct deposit directly into taxpayer accounts. The tax agency still estimates that 9 out of 10 refunds will go out within 21 days from when a return is filed. But paper filed returns may take up to 7 weeks this year (see the estimated 2015 IRS refund schedule)However there are a number of tax payers who have filed their taxes, but are still waiting to receive their refund. This is likely due to internal processing delays at the IRS, new health care legislation reporting or due to inaccurately filed returns (so double check before filing!). This article provides options on where to get details on your refund status or delay ."

Direct bank deposit of your tax refund money is the fastest and safest way to receive your IRS tax refund! This is easy to do when you file your tax return on efile.com -after your complete your return, you can select the direct deposit option during our efile process. What is Direct Deposit? A direct deposit transfers your tax refund check directly into your personal or joint checking or savings account via a secure electronic funds transfer. You can directly deposit your tax refund with any U. S. financial institution as long as the bank routing and account numbers are valid. Here are three reasons why direct bank deposit is generally the best way to receive a tax refund:1) Direct Deposit is Secure Directly depositing your tax refund into a bank account is secure. A check could get lost in the mail. Every year, millions of dollars in tax refunds do not get to their recipients since the checks in the mail were undeliverable."

Forgetting a number, transposing numbers or entering an incorrect number on your return might cause the bank to reject the deposit or put it into someone else's account. While you can’t fix that mistake on your tax return, you can try to recover your refund. Check Refund Status Before you panic and start making calls, find out what’s going on with your tax refund by checking the status online. When you e-file, you can access refund information 72 hours after the IRS confirms receiving your return. Refund information for a paper return takes longer, usually three to four weeks after you mail in your return. Using the online \"\"Where’s My Refund\"\" tool allows you to find out if the IRS received your return and is processing it. If the IRS has processed your return, you can get the direct deposit date or see if there was a problem delivering your refund. You can also call the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954. Fixing Your Mistake If you catch the mistake before the IRS issues your refund, you may be able to prevent a mix up by contacting the bank and giving an account representative the right information."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Leap year (disambiguation). A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year) is a calendar year containing one additional day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. [ 1] Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, calendars that have the same number of days in each year drift over time with respect to the event that the year is supposed to track. By inserting (also called intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year. For example, in the Gregorian calendar, each leap year has 366 days instead of the usual 365, by extending February to 29 days rather than the common 28. These extra days occur in years which are multiples of four (with the exception of years divisible by 100 but not by 400). Similarly, in the lunisolar Hebrew calendar, Adar Aleph, a 13th lunar month, is added seven times every 19 years to the twelve lunar months in its common years to keep its calendar year from drifting through the seasons. In the Bahá'í Calendar, a leap day is added when needed to ensure that the following year begins on the vernal equinox. The name \"\"leap year\"\" probably comes from the fact that while a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar normally advances one day of the week from one year to the next, the day of the week in the 12 months following the leap day (from March 1 through February 28 of the following year) will advance two days due to the extra day (thus \"\"leaping over\"\" one of the days in the week).

Alternately, you can step through the script in this repo, which presents the product after following the process below. Why Random Birthdays? Generating a birth date randomly can be useful and expedient during testing: Even when it can be provided, a birthday is generated because each person's real birthday can be used as the basis for authentication, and thus needs to be protected as secrets. Generating the date provides \"\"cleansed\"\" data for testing without exposing actual data values to possible identity theft. Generating birthdates enable data values to have a pre-determined range of values that impacts how often certain processing functions are invoked. Date Handling Coding Techniques Several Java Script techniques are shown here, including using a static array to yield a pseudo-random distribution of working ages similar to that of the population. Dateof Birth fields can be gen'd using Java Script functions in a UI such ashttp://sqa.fyicenter.com/Online_Test_Tools/Test_User_Birthday_Date_Generator.php)https://www.random.org/calendar-dates/Java Script coding for generating birth dates are in web pages such as :http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9035627/elegant-method-to-generate-array-of-random-dates-within-two-dates Within a Load Runner script, code based on this web page can be used to reference established Java Script functions.

If Monday is the first day of the week, the days may be coded 1 to 7, for Monday through Sunday, as is practiced in ISO 8601. The day designated with 7 may also be counted as 0, by applying the arithmetic modulo 7, which calculates the remainder of a number after division by 7. Thus, the number 7 is treated as 0, 8 as 1, 9 as 2, 18 as 4 and so on. If Sunday is counted as day 1, then 7 days later (i.e. day 8) is also a Sunday, and day 18 is the same as day 4, which is a Wednesday since this falls three days after Sunday.

One standard approach is to look up (or calculate, using a known rule) the value of the first day of the week of a given century, look up (or calculate, using a method of congruence) an adjustment for the month, calculate the number of leap years since the start of the century, and then add these together along with the number of years since the start of the century, and the day number of the month."

In the Gregorian calendar, we use today a leap year has 366 days instead of 365. An extra day is added every four years at the end of February, so it has 29 days instead of 28.

"text": "\"Answer by David Bäckman Confidence votes 63.6KKnowledge is a thing you can both share and keep Answer The Roman dates of the Julian calendar are taken from Greeks. Not all Greeks had the same calendar of an empire. Greek December 25 (means 10th month) goes back to 778bc when for 4 years it had been Egyptian Payni 25 (10th month). This doesnt mean the whole calendar existed, but rather the holiday was called 10th month 25th day. This is also evident that a smaller population of Greeks began this in 1498bc when our Julian Dec 25 was Kayak 25 (4th month that had traditions of being the 10th month, flipped in 1514bc but denied by the New Kingdom). Halloween also is such a date which Greeks of 1498bc regarded as the new year of 2021bc (Nov 1) and 1894bc (Nov 2). To do this they had to regard the Egyptian 365-day calendar as leaping dates forward every 4 years. Example (i.e. ), 1894bc Nov 1 =Epipi 27, Nov 2 =Epipi 28 and eight years later (two leap days) the holy day Hallow Eve is Nov 1 =Epipi 29, Nov 2 =Epipi 30. This is how Christmas was too. The year 1498bc did not fix it for all Greeks, but 778bc did."

Once approximately every four years, the elusive entity that occurs this Monday — February 29 th— comes along. The historical origins and urban legendsassociated with it are incredibly interesting, but the reason there’s any such thing as Leap Day at all is because of the physics of planet Earth. The Earth, of course, is rotating on its axis while simultaneously revolving around the Sun. That rotation is responsible for sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, the Coriolis effect, and the rotation of all the stars in the night sky about the poles. Revolution, on the other hand, is responsible for the seasons; when your hemisphere tilted away from the Sun, that’s when you have your winter (and minimum daylight), and when your hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, that’s when you have your luminous summer. And you probably learned that a day is 24 hours, due to the rotation, while a year is 365 days (with an occasional 366 for leap years), taking care of the revolution.

Well, this page provides you with an easy method for calculating just that, without the help of anything else but your own brain! You only have to memorise a few simple rules which are given below. But first, I'll explain the Gregorian calendar and the fundamentals of this method. What is the Gregorian Calendar? To explain this, we'll have to go a bit further back into history, since it succeeded the Julian Calendar, which was introduced by Julius Caesar . It was one of the early attempts to make an accurate calendar that would last for many centuries. By then, it was known that the length of the year was a bit more that 365 days. With the accuracy then achievable, some wise men noticed a shift of 1 day every 4 years. Julius Caesar introduced a calendar that included 1 extra day every 4 years to compensate for this shift, so that the seasons would not shift away from predefined dates (such as 21 March for the beginning of spring)."

"text": "\"Leap Year 2016: Why does February have 29 days every four years? When is it, why does it happen and everything else you need to know about the leap year in 2016By Rozina Sabur, Cameron Macphail and Juliet Eysenck4:05PM GMT 01 Mar 2016February 29 crops up every four years, but what is a leap year? Frogs are associated with leap years. This is a leaping frog Photo: Getty Why do we have leap years? A leap year, where an extra day is added to the end of February every four years, is down to the Gregorian calendar's disparity with the solar system. A complete orbit of the earth around the sun takes exactly 365.2422 days to complete, but the Gregorian calendar uses 365 days. So leap seconds - and leap years - are added as means of keeping our clocks (and calendars) in sync with the Earth and its seasons. Julius Caesar vs Pope Gregory The Roman calendar used to have 355 days with an extra 22-day month every two years until Julius Caesar became emperor in the 1st Century and ordered his Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes to devise something better. Sosigenes decided on a 365-day year with an extra day every four years to incorportate the extra hours, and so February 29th was born. In 46 BC, Julius Caesar, featured here in a self-decreed minted coin, created a calendar system that added one leap day every four years."

"text": "THE BLOG 02/29/2012 11:53 am ET Updated Apr 30, 2012Leap Year Birthday: ‘What Day Do You Celebrate?’By Sonal Soni“So what day do you celebrate?” is invariably one of the first questions I get asked whenever I inform someone that I am a leap day baby. The answer to that question for me has always been: “Whenever I want.” Being born on February 29 has definitely had its advantages, one of them being that I’m free to choose my birthday in non-leap years. In fact, in non leap-years I have a sense that my birthday is a combination of both February 28 and March 1; February 28 because it is my birthday month and March 1 because I recognize that had it not been a leap year, it would have been the date of my birth. But why choose just one day when you can have a two-day celebration with people wishing you ‘happy birthday’ over an extended period of time? When I feel like having some fun, I get to answer the question of how old are you with a bit of a twist. Having a birthday once every four years, I can answer that question in leap day birthdays, giving a number ¼ of my actual age (for instance, turning 36 this year, I will actually be turning 9). I love watching others puzzle over the answer to the question that does not seem to match my physical age. It brings great glee particularly to the nieces in my life, one of whom noted that she will soon be older than me."

But nevertheless I’ll be turning 28 years old on Feb. 29—a leap day. To make sense of my baffling predicament, you first need to understand what leap days are and why leap years exist in the first place. The way we measure time on Earth is a bit complicated. For example, we measure years by the length of time it takes our planet to orbit the sun. We call this a “solar” or “tropical” year. But while most of us understand a year as comprising 365 days, that’s not exactly right. The precise measure of a solar year is 365.24219 days."

Getty Images The last leap year was in 2016, and the next one will fall in 2020What is a leap year? A leap year is a calendar year which is an extra day longer. It's a corrective measure, to keep our calendar year synchronised with the astronomical or seasonal year. Because astronomical events and seasons don't correlate to an exact amount of days, a drift occurs which needs to be corrected from time-to-time. Where does the term 'leap year' come from? The name 'leap year' comes from the fact that a fixed date on a Gregorian calendar normally advances one day of the week each year. Apart from in a leap year, when it skips a day - leaping over one day of the week."

Instead, he found that the energies radiated by hot objects have distinct values, with all other values forbidden. This discovery was the beginning of quantum theory – an entirely new type of physics – which replaced classical physics for atomic scale events. Quantum theory revolutionized our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes, just as Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity revolutionized our understanding of gravity, space, and time. Together these theories constitute the most spectacular breakthroughs of twentieth-century physics. Of high intelligence, showing brilliance in mathematics, science, and music, Planck was a deeply thoughtful, ethical man. He experienced a long life, living almost 90 years.

"text": "Albert Einstein, pictured at Princeton University in 1951, has come to represent the very face of genius. Photo by AFP/Getty Images S ixty years ago this weekend, one of the most famous thefts of the 20 th century took place. Its object wasn’t a multimillion-dollar painting or a sparkling jewel, but an organ—a pinkish, wrinkled lump of flesh that the thief hoped might unlock some of the most mysterious secrets in the universe. The organ, a brain, belonged to Albert Einstein, who probably wouldn’t be very happy about where it ended up: preserved, dissected, examined in science labs across the country, and now on display in a medical museum. Einstein—who died of a ruptured abdominal aneurysm at age 76 on April 18, 1955—left specific wishes for his body after death, which didn’t include any of the above. He asked to be cremated, with his ashes spread in an unmarked location. This was a principled request, a reaction against the hero worship he received in life, which made Einstein uncomfortable. Though we now think of him as the very face of genius, Einstein didn’t think any human deserved the kind of admiration the world laid at his door. It seemed unfair and in “bad taste,” and it spooked him. “ I want to be cremated so people don’t come to worship at my bones,” he told his friend and biographer Abraham Pais."

According to general relativity, the observed gravitational attraction between masses results from the warping of space and time by those masses. Before the advent of general relativity, Newton's law of universal gravitation had been accepted for more than two hundred years as a valid description of the gravitational force between masses, even though Newton himself did not regard the theory as the final word on the nature of gravity. Within a century of Newton's formulation, careful astronomical observation revealed unexplainable variations between the theory and the observations. Under Newton's model, gravity was the result of an attractive force between massive objects. Although even Newton was bothered by the unknown nature of that force, the basic framework was extremely successful at describing motion. However, experiments and observations show that Einstein's description accounts for several effects that are unexplained by Newton's law, such as minute anomalies in the orbits of Mercury and other planets. General relativity also predicts novel effects of gravity, such as gravitational waves, gravitational lensing and an effect of gravity on time known as gravitational time dilation. Many of these predictions have been confirmed by experiment or observation, while others are the subject of ongoing research. General relativity has developed into an essential tool in modern astrophysics."

We do not have to wait a million years to use our ability to reason. We can and must use it now, or human society will sink into a new and terrible dark age.' From now until his death, and despite poor health, Einstein gave all the energies not spent on his scientific work to campaigns for peace. Above all he promoted the idea of a world government founded on international law. ' As long as sovereign states continue to have separate armaments and armaments secrets, new world wars will be inevitable.' He opposed the development of atomic weapons and the US military's intention to develop the much more powerful hydrogen bomb. He was chairman of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, set up in 1946; its aims were to educate the public about the dangers of atomic warfare, to promote the benign use of atomic energy, and to work for the abolition of war as the only answer to weapons of mass destruction. ( The ECAS disbanded in 1949, but continued to publish its Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.) Einstein also continued his public opposition to militarism.

German: habitation name from various places named with a Middle High German derivative of the verb einsteinen ‘to enclose, surround with stone’ because of the unsettled social climate of the Middle Ages. 2. Jewish (Ashkenazic): adaptation of the German name or else an ornamental name using the ending –stein ‘stone’. Variant (of 2): Ainstein. [ 1]The Einstein family is the family of the renowned physicist Albert Einstein (1879–1955). Einstein's great-great-great-great-grandfather, Jakob Weil, was his oldest recorded relative, born in the late 17th century, and the family continues to this day. Albert Einstein's great-great-grandfather, Löb Moses Sontheimer (1745–1831), was also the grandfather of the prominent tenor Heinrich Sontheim (1820–1912) of Stuttgart. [ 2]Albert's three children were from his relationship with his first wife, Mileva Marić, his daughter Lieserl being born a year before they married. Albert Einstein's second wife was Elsa Einstein, whose mother Fanny Koch was the sister of Albert's mother, and whose father, Rudolf Einstein, was the son of Raphael Einstein, a brother of Albert's paternal grandfather."

"text": "Albert Einstein and the most elemental atomic theory Posted on March 20, 2012 by ansnuclearcafe By Paul Bowersox Albert Einstein’s birthdate was less than a week ago, on March 14, in the year 1879. Happy belated birthday, Albert!Albert Einstein, age 4As a slightly overdue commemoration of Albert Einstein’s 133 nd birthday, I would like to make a quick note of his most “elemental” contribution to atomic theory—he was the first person to show a way to prove the existence of atoms —using an ordinary microscope!Atomic theory When you really get down to it, “atomic theory” begins with a claim that matter is made of atoms. This sounds obvious enough to us today, but not very long ago, relatively speaking, chemists and physicists were known to debate this idea fiercely. The idea of atoms as a shortcut for thinking about how matter worked seemed quite useful even more than a century ago—but then again, so did ideas like a stationary earth at the center of the universe. When Einstein was a young man, atoms had never been observed. Was the idea of atoms actually “real?” Or was something else, perhaps something unexpected, going on?1905 was a good year The year 1905 was a good year for 26-year-old Albert Einstein. While working at the patent office in Bern, Switzerland, he completed his Ph D dissertation. He published his Special Theory of Relativity, which later led to the General Theory of Relativity, which led to his designation as “the father of modern physics.” Einstein also in 1905 proposed that light energy can be absorbed or emitted only in discrete packets called quanta, a provocative contradiction of the then-prevalent wave theory of light—and this led to Einstein’s winning of the Nobel Prize."

His first impression wasn't one of fame, no. Born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879, Albert was the first child of Pauline and Hermann Einstein. And to say the couple was less than impressed with their newborn son would be an understatement; they thought his head was grotesquely oversized. His parents described Albert to the delivering physician as a \"\"monstrosity.\"\" The doctor convinced them that all infant heads appeared larger than normal and that Albert's body would grow to become more proportionate to his cranium.

"text": "\"Science Mar 13 2015, 8:42 pm ETHappy Birthday, Einstein: Relativity Faces New Frontierby Live Science Share A century ago this year, a young Swiss physicist who had already revolutionized physics developed a radical new understanding of gravity. In 1915, Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity, which described gravity as a fundamental property of space-time. He came up with a set of equations that relate the curvature of space-time to the energy and momentum of the matter and radiation that are present in a particular region. One hundred years later, Einstein's theory of gravitation has withstood all the tests that scientists could throw at it. But until recently, it wasn't possible to do experiments to probe the theory under extreme conditions to see whether it breaks down. [ 6 Weird Facts About Gravity]Now, scientists have the technology to look for evidence that could reveal physics beyond general relativity. Physicist Albert Einstein stands beside a blackboard with mathematical calculations written across it in 1921. Hulton Archive via Getty Images\"\"To me, it is absolutely amazing how well general relativity has done after 100 years,\"\" said Clifford Will, a theoretical physicist at the University of Florida in Gainesville. \"\" What he wrote down is the same thing we use today,\"\" Will told Live Science. General relativity describes gravity not as a force, but as a curvature of space and time due to the mass of objects, Will said."

Justin Bieber, another singer who became a web sensation at a young age, recently gave Grace his seal of approval. The America’s Got Talent judges were so wowed by Grace Vander Waal’s performance of an original song titled “I Don’t Know My Name” that Howie Mandel decided to use his Golden Buzzer to send the 12-year-old, ukele-strumming singer straight through to the live shows in Las Vegas. The episode of AGT that Grace was featured in aired almost three weeks ago, but it just recently caught Justin Bieber’s attention. As Gossip Cop reports, Justin acknowledged Grace on Instagram. “Love this,” Justin wrote. His post was accompanied by a video snippet of Grace’s America’s Got Talent performance. As Fox News reports, America’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell called Grace Vander Waal “the next Taylor Swift” after hearing her original tune. The “Shake It Off” singer hasn’t responded to this comparison yet, but the Daily Beast reports that Taylor Swift has started following Grace on Twitter. However, getting an Instagram shout-out from Justin Bieber was a slightly bigger deal — now his 72.7 million Instagram followers know Grace’s name."

"text": "America's Got Talent 7Auditioner: America’s Got Talent is “rigged”by Andy Dehnart 11 Jun. 2012 | 10:04 am America’s Got Talent ‘s fraudulent auditioner has overshadowed Howard Stern’s debut as a judge, but what if the show itself wasn’t exactly honest with us about the nature of the audition process? One act that auditioned for this season claims the process is “rigged,” with results pre-determined and the audience coached to support that outcome. It’s no surprise that the audition process for the NBC reality competition isn’t like it’s portrayed on TV; people don’t just line up and appear in front of the judges. It’s a multi-stage process similar to American Idol’s auditions. But this auditioner is claiming there’s even more to the disparity between reality and TV than that. In an exceptionally well-written Livejournal post published in early April, the leader of a troupe of circus artists and aerialists writes about their experience auditioning for a show she calls “America’s Got Lawsuits (If You Reveal The Outcome Before The Episode Airs).” It’s written without ever identifying the NBC reality series by name, but the details (“shock jock” judge) make it obvious. The female writer, identified as “whipchick,” says they’ve been approached seven times–every season–by the show, which we know recruits a lot of its acts; she adds in a comment that producers “were unusually persistent this season — I think they may be running out of people who will agree to be on the show.” The freelance producer who reached out to the group worked with them and “storyboarded every four seconds and provided a recommended shot list to the director,” and before the actual audition, she writes, “we have run the full act once and the fire section three times, for the stage manger, the director, and the fire marshal. ”When they finally performed for the judges and studio audience, they were booed off the stage–odd, for a group that was so heavily recruited and is so well-established."

The speakers of the language shape the language and it's a continuous process which is always going on. We don't realise that we're consciously and unconsciously shaping the language. The rules of grammar were never created by an individual or even a group of individuals. Expressiveness, Economy, and analogy shape any language. English is a language of Indo-European language family. It belongs from West-Germanic branch of Indo-European language. The history of the English language has traditionally been divided into three main periods: Old English (450-1100 AD), Middle English (1100-circa 1500 AD) and Modern English (since 1500). The closest living relatives of English language is Scots and Frisian.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search It has been suggested that Irish Literary Revival be merged into this article. ( Discuss) Proposed since December 2016. Celtic High cross in Quebec (Compare with the original)The Celtic Revival (also referred to as the Celtic Twilight or Celtomania) was a variety of movements and trends in the 19th and 20th centuries that saw a renewed interest in aspects of Celtic culture. Artists and writers drew on the traditions of Gaelic literature, Welsh-language literature, and so-called ' Celtic art '—what historians call Insular art (the Early Medieval style of Ireland and Britain ). Although the revival was complex and multifaceted, occurring across many fields and in various countries in Northwest Europe, its best known incarnation is probably the Irish Literary Revival. Here, Irish writers including William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, \"\"AE\"\" Russell, Edward Martyn and Edward Plunkett (Lord Dunsany) stimulated a new appreciation of traditional Irish literature and Irish poetry in the late 19th and early 20th century. [ 1]In many, but not all, facets the revival came to represent a reaction to modernisation. This is particularly true in Ireland, where the relationship between the archaic and the modern was antagonistic, where history was fractured, and where, according to Terry Eagleton, \"\"as a whole [the nation] had not leapt at a bound from tradition to modernity \"\". [ 2] At times this romantic view of the past resulted in historically inaccurate portrayals, such as the promotion of noble savage stereotypes of the Irish people and Scottish Highlanders, as well as a racialized view that referred to the Irish, whether positively or negatively, as a separate race. [ 3]Perhaps the most widespread and lasting contribution of the revival was the re-introduction of the High cross as the Celtic cross, which now forms a familiar part of monumental and funerary art over most of the Western world.

Old English (also known as Anglo-Saxon) had two main dialects. The Anglic dialect gave its name to the language, but the Saxon dialect eventually evolved into Modern English. Along the way, English was heavily influenced, both in grammar and vocabulary, by Norman French, itself a Germanicized member of the Romance family of Indo-European languages. One great strength of English is its power of incorporating or borrowing words from other languages, particularly French, Latin and Greek, but the language itself is not derived from these or any others. Originals Celtic Germanic French, Borrowers Latin, Greek, and pretty well everything else to some small degree. There are more Native American words in English than Celtic words.

"text": "\"Anglo-Saxon England England before the Germanic migration Back to the Syllabus Before the Germanic invasions Celts - Prior to the Germanic invasions Britain was inhabited by various Celtic tribes who were united by common speech, customs, and religion. Each tribe was headed by a king and was divided by class into Druids (priests), warrior nobles, and commoners. The lack of political unity made them vulnerable to their enemies. During the first century, Britain was conquered and subjugated by Rome. During the next three hundred years, Rome legions provided the politically discordant Britons the protection necessary to secure the country from attack. Migration of the Germanic speaking people When Britain gained \"\"independence\"\" from Rome in the year 410ce, the Roman legions withdrew leaving the country vulnerable to invaders. Soon after the withdrawal of Roman troops, inhabitants from the north began attacking the Britons. In response to these attacks, individual towns sought help from the Foedarati, who were Roman mercenaries of German origin, for the defense of the northern parts of England. As the legend has been told, a man named Hengest arrived on the shores of Britain with \"\"3 keels\"\" of warriors in 450ce. This event is known in Latin as the \"\"adventus Saxonum,\"\" or the coming of the Saxons."

Celtic art is a difficult term to define, covering a huge expanse of time, geography and cultures. A case has been made for artistic continuity in Europe from the Bronze Age, and indeed the preceding Neolithic age; however archaeologists generally use \"\"Celtic\"\" to refer to the culture of the European Iron Age from around 1000 BC onwards, until the conquest by the Roman Empire of most of the territory concerned, and art historians typically begin to talk about \"\"Celtic art\"\" only from the La Tène period (broadly 5th to 1st centuries BC) onwards. [ 1] Early Celtic art is another term used for this period, stretching in Britain to about 150 AD. [ 2] The Early Medieval art of Britain and Ireland, which produced the Book of Kells and other masterpieces, and is what \"\"Celtic art\"\" evokes for much of the general public in the English-speaking world, is called Insular art in art history. This is the best-known part, but not the whole of, the Celtic art of the Early Middle Ages, which also includes the Pictish art of Scotland. [ 3]Both styles absorbed considerable influences from non-Celtic sources, but retained a preference for geometrical decoration over figurative subjects, which are often extremely stylised when they do appear; narrative scenes only appear under outside influence. [ 4] Energetic circular forms, triskeles and spirals are characteristic. Much of the surviving material is in precious metal, which no doubt gives a very unrepresentative picture, but apart from Pictish stones and the Insular high crosses, large monumental sculpture, even with decorative carving, is very rare; possibly the few standing male figures found, like the Warrior of Hirschlanden and the so-called \"\"Lord of Glauberg\"\", were originally common in wood. Also covered by the term is the visual art of the Celtic Revival (on the whole more notable for literature) from the 18th century to the modern era, which began as a conscious effort by Modern Celts, mostly in the British Isles, to express self-identification and nationalism, and became popular well beyond the Celtic nations, and whose style is still current in various popular forms, from Celtic cross funerary monuments to interlace tattoos."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities Genealogy Can somebody tell me where the surname Wise come. from. Is it Irish English Jewish ? 1 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I found this for you, Surname: Wise Recorded as Wise, Wyse, Wisdom, Wiseman, Wisman, and no doubt others, this is an English surname. It is of pre 7th century Anglo-Saxon origin, and derives from a byname applied to a \"\"learned person\"\". Such a person would have been regarded with mingled fear and respect in medieval days, and would have been regularly consulted on legal and other matters. It was occasionally applied to someone acquainted with the occult arts. The word \"\"wise\"\" derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century \"\"wis\"\", meaning \"\"knowing\"\". As early as the 11th Century there was a recording of the name Johann se Wisa, but its clear emergence as a surname was first noted in the latter part of the 12th Century (see below). Roger le Wis was noted in the Pipe Rolls of Sussex, dated 1203, and Agnes, daughter of William and Jane Wise, was christened at Easton, Wiltshire, on October 3rd 1591."

Credit: Kozuch / Creative Commons. The “Celts” refer to a people that thrived in both ancient and modern times. Today, the term often refers to the cultures, languages and people that are based in Scotland, Ireland, other parts of the British Isles and Brittany in France. “Today six Celtic languages survive — the Gaelic group comprising Irish, Scots Gaelic and Manx and the Britonic group comprising Welsh, Breton and Cornish,” wrote the late professor Dáithí Ó hÓgáin in his book “ The Celts: A History ” (The Collins Press, 2002). He notes that Manx and Cornish originally died out but have now been revived. The relationship between modern-day Celts and their ancient forbearers is a contentious issue that scholars have different opinions about. Languages change over time, and people move, and how much modern-day Celtic peoples, language and cultures are related to the ancient Celts is an open question. Nevertheless the Celts, both ancient and modern, have provided humanity with some fantastic art, culture and stories of martial prowess. Ancient Celts The Celts were first referenced in texts about 2,500 years ago."

You must be referring to the song 'bonnie (attractive-scot) Irish lass (young woman-scot)'. Bonnie Wee lass is certainly more common than the question which I've never heard (wee meaning small). A Colleen (CailÃn) is probably the closest meaning a girl or lass. There is a lot of confusion in the US over the Scottish and the Irish probably given that many Americans are descended from one or the other and through intermarrying now both, combined with the fact of the Celtic (Goidelic or Q Celts) connections between the countries. This has led to other confusions such as the erroneous wearing of kilts and tartans (most invented by the Scott's manufacturers in the 1990's for the tourists) by Irish descended Americans.78 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Geoffrey Sampson When and Where Did English Begin? The quick answer A brief but accurate answer to this would be “very roughly 1500 years ago, give or take a century or so, on the Eastern side of the island of Great Britain — in what we now call the East and South-East of England (but nobody called it ‘England’ then)”. Perhaps this is too vague for you — you would like a date? As a respectable academic, I ought to say this is as precise as we can be. But if you press me — all right, then: in a symbolic sense, at any rate, perhaps we might say that English began in A. D. 449, at a place called Ebbsfleet on Pegwell Bay, near Ramsgate in Kent. I cannot give you a specific birthday, but it will have been in the summer rather than winter half of the year. Language change and language splits The vague answer was really the right answer. A language is not like a baby, born at a specific time: one day no baby, next day and for long afterwards an entire baby, crying and doing its baby things. A language can die , if it is used by fewer and fewer people until it has no speakers left; but languages are not born. The speech of each generation derives from the speech of their elders, modified by a few of the more or less random changes that keep on occurring in all languages everywhere."

This document is written to accompany Mark Nodine's online Welsh lessons and used to be an appendix of that document, although I think it has now been removed from there (which makes the huge numbers of accesses to it the more confusing). It aims to answer, from the - perhaps necessarily opinionated - standpoint of a native Welsh speaker, some questions about the historical, political and cultural background of the language that he or I think might be asked by a learner from outside that culture. The present document has been drafted as responses to a list of questions, originally based on those that Mark thought might be asked: What is Welsh? Isn't Welsh just a dialect of English? Where is Wales? So what exactly is Wales? A country? A district? The History of Welsh How old is Welsh?"

"text": "\"Who were the Ancient Celts? The Celts were a European cultural group first evident in the 7 thor 8 thcentury B. C. The Romans called them Galli and the Greeks called them Keltoi-- both meaning barbarians. Their maximum expansion was in the 3 rd to 5 th century B. C., when they occupied much of Europe north of the Alps ( see maps ). The Celts arrived in Britain by the 4th or 5th century B. C. and Ireland by the 2nd or 3rd century B. C., and possibly earlier, displacing an earlier people who were already on the islands. The Gaels, Gauls, Britons, Irish, and Gallations were all Celtic people. Why are the Celts associated today with Ireland, Wales, and Scotland? Celtic culture survived longer in these areas than in continental Europe. In many ways it still survives today. On the continent, the expanding Romans defeated various Celtic groups and subsumed their culture. Julius Ceaser conducted a successful campaign against the Gauls in 52-58 B. C., and as part of that campaign invaded Britain in 54 B. C. but was unsuccessful in conquering the island."

So far, we have not found genetic evidence of Native American ancestry in the direct male line.

The origin of the Cheek surname, however, is probably English in most cases. What Are Haplogroups? DNA testing has revolutionized the way that scientists study human migration. Scientists have collected genetic samples from people all over the world, hoping to understand how populations moved out of Africa (where the human race originated) and into Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Based on these studies, scientists have divided DNA into large \"\"super-families\"\" called \"\"haplogroups.\"\" It is possible to predict a person's Y-DNA haplogroup from the results of a 12-marker or 25-marker Y-DNA test, although sometimes an additional test, called a \"\"SNP\"\" (single nucleotide polymorphism) test, is needed for confirmation."

The name Κελτοί Keltoi and Celtae is used in Greek and Latin, respectively, as the name of a people of the La Tène horizon in the region of the upper Rhine and Danube during the 6th to 1st centuries BC in Greco-Roman ethnography. The etymology of this name and that of the Gauls Γαλάται Galatai / Galli is of uncertain etymology. The name of the Welsh, on the other hand, is taken from the designator used by the Germanic peoples for Celtic- and Latin-speaking peoples, * Walhaz, meaning \"\"foreign\"\". The linguistic sense of the name Celts, grouping all speakers of Celtic languages, is modern. In particular, aside from a 1st-century literary genealogy of Celtus the grandson of Bretannos by Heracles, there is no record of the term \"\"Celt\"\" being used prior to the 17th century in connection with the inhabitants of Ireland and Britain during the Iron Age.

"text": "Science English, Irish, Scots: They’re All One, Genes Suggest By NICHOLAS WADE MARCH 5, 2007Britain and Ireland are so thoroughly divided in their histories that there is no single word to refer to the inhabitants of both islands. Historians teach that they are mostly descended from different peoples: the Irish from the Celts, and the English from the Anglo-Saxons who invaded from northern Europe and drove the Celts to the country’s western and northern fringes. But geneticists who have tested DNA throughout the British Isles are edging toward a different conclusion. Many are struck by the overall genetic similarities, leading some to claim that both Britain and Ireland have been inhabited for thousands of years by a single people that have remained in the majority, with only minor additions from later invaders like Celts, Romans, Angles , Saxons, Vikings and Normans. The implication that the Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh have a great deal in common with each other, at least from the geneticist’s point of view, seems likely to please no one. The genetic evidence is still under development, however, and because only very rough dates can be derived from it, it is hard to weave evidence from DNA, archaeology, history and linguistics into a coherent picture of British and Irish origins. That has not stopped the attempt. Stephen Oppenheimer, a medical geneticist at the University of Oxford, says the historians’ account is wrong in almost every detail. In Dr. Oppenheimer’s reconstruction of events, the principal ancestors of today’s British and Irish populations arrived from Spain about 16,000 years ago, speaking a language related to Basque. The British Isles were unpopulated then, wiped clean of people by glaciers that had smothered northern Europe for about 4,000 years and forced the former inhabitants into southern refuges in Spain and Italy."

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian ANZAC means Australia and New Zealand Armed Corps. The original Anzacs were the soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on Turkish Aegean coast, on 25 April 1915. During WWI, England wanted to eliminate Turkey from the war, draw Bulgaria and Greece into the war on their side and also find a rear guard action that would give them access to a supply route to Russia. This would provide them with a successful venture to raise morale in England. Many Australians either still wished to support old \"\"mother England\"\" (despite Federation 15 years earlier) or eagerly signed up to prove Australia's worth on the world stage. After landing at Gallipoli, the ANZAC troops were slaughtered, but held their ground despite the constant gunfire and battles, week upon week, thereby earning their countrymen's respect and undying admiration. It was a pointless battle, but the courage of the ANZAC soldiers was legendary, and it was recignised that those who had been killed deserved to be recognised for their sacrifice. From 1916 onwards, in both Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC services were held on or about April 25, mainly organised by returned servicemen and school children in cooperation with local authorities."

It was 103 years ago (2018) that our brave ANZAC sons landed at Gallipoli in an event that has gone onto shape Australia and its people. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day. The 25th of April marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. Why is this day so special to Australians? When war broke out in 1914 Australia had been a federal commonwealth for only fourteen years. The new national government was eager to establish its reputation among the nations of the world. In 1915 Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula to open the way to the Black Sea for the allied navies. The plan was to capture Constantinople (now Istanbul), capital of the Ottoman Empire and an ally of Germany."

Edit Share In London, in 1915On 30 April 1915, when the first news of the landing reached New Zealand, a half-day holiday was declared and impromptu services were held. The following year a public holiday was gazetted (i.e., officially declared) on 5 April and services to commemorate were organised by the returned servicemen. Anzac Day in Brisbane, 1916The date, 25 April, was officially named Anzac Day in 1916; in that year it was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia and New Zealand, a march through London, and a sports day for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers in Egypt. The small New Zealand community of Tinui, near Masterton in the Wairarapa was apparently the first place in New Zealand to have an Anzac Day service, when the then vicar led an expedition to place a large wooden cross on the Tinui Taipos (a 1,200 ft (370 m) high large hill/mountain, behind the village) in April 1916 to commemorate the dead. A service was held on 25 April of that year. In 2006 the 90th anniversary of the event was commemorated with a full 21-gun salute fired at the service by soldiers from the Waiouru Army Camp.

Falling on a Saturday, there has been some confusion around trading restrictions and whether or not Monday is also a public holiday. Despite the Greens best efforts to have Monday 27 April declared a public holiday across the nation, Western Australia is the only state to grant workers a day off. The Australian Retailers Association (ARA) is urging retailers to understand their obligations, which vary from state to state. To help out they have provided a general guide to retail trading hours, for specific queries retailers are encouraged to contact the ARA directly. Victoria Victorian based retailers cannot trade between midnight and 1pm on Anzac Day, unless they fall into the category of “exempt shops”, which includes businesses with 20 or fewer employees or businesses with no more than 100 workers at any one time in the seven days prior to Anzac Day. After 1pm, all businesses may open, however, some shops are free to trade all day, including chemists, petrol stations, cafes, restaurants, takeaway outlets and hire outlets such as video stores. New South Wales NSW follows similar rules to Victoria, with most businesses unable to open prior to 1pm. However exempt or small shops can open, including bookshops, chemists, newsagencies, petrol stations and convenience stores."

Flag Why do you wear poppies on ANZAC day? Edit Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 289KPassionate about all things Australian Poppies symbolise remembrance. The story goes that, following one of the bloodiest battles of World War I, in the fields of Flanders in western Europe,when the ground was completely churned up and muddied, thousands of red poppies sprang up. The seeds had lain dormant in the soil and, after being aerated with the churning of the soil from the soldiers' boots and fertilised with their blood, the poppies grew abundantly, springing forth new life from death. This is why poppies are worn on ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day (commemorating Armistice Day) and other solemn occasions when we remember the soldiers who fought or even gave their lives for our freedom. Another reason poppies came to such prominence in association with World War I is because of how they were immortalised in that most famous poem of WWI, In Flanders Fields, written by John Mc Crae. This poem is spoken at memorial services everywhere on both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day.7 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Why does the poppy represent anzac day?

On the 25th April, 1915 the soldiers in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landed on Gallipoli. During this time over 8,000 Australian soldiers were killed fighting for our freedom. On ANZAC Day we remember the soliders who fought in the war for our freedom (by Theresa, Zara and Sophie). Although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions during the campaign left us all a powerful legacy. The creation of what became known as the “ANZAC legend” became an important part of the identity of both nations, shaping the ways they viewed both their past and their future.

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian ANZAC Day is named after the A ustralian and N ew Z ealand A rmy C orps, who landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, in World War I. Marked with a public holiday in Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day commemorates the landing of the troops at Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast, on 25 April 1915. Due to a navigational error, the ANZACs came ashore about a mile north of the intended landing point. Instead of facing the expected beach and gentle slope they found themselves at the base of steep cliffs, and completely vulnerable to the Turkish defenders. Of the 1500 men who waded ashore that first day, 755 remained in active service at the end of the day, with the remainder killed or wounded. Advance was impossible. After eight months of stalemate, the Allies withdrew from the peninsula, leaving about 8700 dead amongst the troops. In Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day commemorations feature solemn \"\"dawn services\"\", a tradition started in Albany, Western Australia on 25 April 1923. These services are held at war memorials around both countries. Marches by veterans from all past wars are held in capital cities and towns nationwide."

In many countries, the poppy is worn around Armistice Day (11 November), but in New Zealand it is most commonly seen around Anzac Day, 25 April. In Flanders fields The red or Flanders poppy has been linked with battlefield deaths since the time of the Great War (1914–18). The plant was one of the first to grow and bloom in the mud and soil of Flanders. The connection was made, most famously, by Lieutenant Colonel John Mc Crae in his poem 'In Flanders fields'. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

"text": "WEIRD NEWS 11/28/2012 11:03 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017Bigfoot DNA Tests Prove Hairy Creature Exists, Genetic Researcher Says By Lee Speigel Bigfoot is real. At least that’s what veterinarian Melba S. Ketchum claims after a five-year study of more than 100 DNA samples that she believes comes from the elusive hairy beast. Under Ketchum’s direction at DNA Diagnostics in Nacogdoches, Texas, a team of researchers has concluded that the creature may be a human relative that somehow developed around 15,000 years ago as a result of a hybrid cross between Homo sapiens with an unknown primate. Ketchum’s research has yet to stand the scrutiny of independent researchers. While many people have claimed to have seen the creature, its existence has never been confirmed, despite a plethora of photos and footprints. The ongoing search is the subject of Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot” television series. “Well, it came to me, I didn’t go after it, that’s for sure,” Ketchum said of the evidence of Bigfoot’s existence in an exclusive interview with The Huffington Post. “ I did not believe in these creatures. But my lab did a lot of animal testing, and we did species identification. We didn’t have any hits on anything interesting until five years ago."

Contents [ hide ]1 Biography2 Pokémon roles2.1 Humans2.1.1 Major2.1.2 Minor2.2 Pokémon2.3 Musical appearances2.4 Video games3 Famous non-Pokémon roles4 Trivia5 External links Biography Taylor began acting in school plays when she was five years old. Wanting to take her acting skills further, she went to The Catholic University of America, where she participated in plays and acting workshops and continued to build on her acting skills at Brandeis University. She has also trained in voice acting and singing. Her first anime job came when her acting coach recommended her to the director. With reference to the interview with Veronica Taylor on You Tube, she appears to be embarrassed to voice Ash in public or in front of the camera, by covering her mouth when doing Ash's voice. She also revealed that she had to deepen her voice and do warm-ups and cool-downs in the process of voicing Ash in 4Kids. She can also be heard narrating audiobooks for authors like Judy Blume, Mary Kay Andrews, Danielle Steel and Wendy Mass. Taylor, as well as Maddie Blaustein, Rachael Lillis, Jim Malone, and Norman Grossfeld, among others, did a commentary for Pokémon 4Ever. During this, Veronica revealed that she was embarrassed to do the voice of a male character, yet delighted to be a part of such a successful show. Pokémon roles Taylor voiced two of the main characters, Ash and May, and various other roles until the end of the eighth season, when Pokémon USA and TAJ Productions took over the dubbing and distribution of the anime."

He is a 15-year-old, blue, anthropomorphic hedgehog gifted with the ability to run at the speed of sound and beyond, hence his name, and he possesses lightning fast reflexes to match. As his position as a hedgehog implies, Sonic can also roll up into a ball, primarily to attack enemies.

"text": "Humanities ›Languages Everything You Need to Know About French Bastille Day The national holiday celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution Share Flipboard Email Print Yanis Ourabah/Moment/Getty Imagesby Thought Co Updated August 05, 2017Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on July 14, 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers. Etymology Bastille is an alternate spelling of bastide (fortification), from the Provençal word bastida (built). There's also a verb: embastiller (to establish troops in a prison). Although the Bastille only held seven prisoners at the time of its capture, the storming of the prison was a symbol of liberty and the fight against oppression for all French citizens; like the Tricolore flag, it symbolized the Republic's three ideals: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity for all French citizens. It marked the end of absolute monarchy, the birth of the sovereign Nation, and, eventually, the creation of the (First) Republic, in 1792. Bastille Day was declared the French national holiday on 6 July 1880, on Benjamin Raspail's recommendation, when the new Republic was firmly entrenched. Bastille Day has such a strong signification for the French because the holiday symbolizes the birth of the Republic. Marseillaise La Marseillaise was written in 1792 and declared the French national anthem in 1795."

It prevented what the people wanted: liberty, equality, and fraternity. The Bastille served as a ground for imprisoning prisoners that were never to be seen again. However, things changed on July 14, 1789 when the Bastille was stormed by the peasantry. The once powerful fortress of the Bastille was overrun by protesters within a few hours. The rule and control of the absolute king was weakened. The revolution followed, and the king was overthrown.

Answer by Username: Yourspam Confidence votes 55.2KDuring the begining of the French Revolution, many riots, over the high price of bread, broke out in Paris and other cities. There was a general sense of unrest and the idea that the then popular king, was hostage of the hated nobility, and under the influence of the queen Marie-Antoinette (the 'Austrian'). Word spread that the king would use the foreign mercenary troops against the Parisians to quell the revolution and the populace began to arm themselves. On July 14, 1789, a crowd seized guns and cannons at the Invalids' arsenal, but couldn't find any gunpowder. The mob, aided by troops of the locally recruited National guards moved towards the royal prison and fortress known as the Bastille, where they supposed that gun powder was stored. After a a short stand-off at the gates, a volley of bullets was fired from the fortress into the crowd. That made things worse as the crowd went mad and stormed the Bastille, killed a ten of the Swiss guards, beheaded the governor and paraded his head through the streets. The seven prisoners held in the Bastille were all released.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Celebrated only 10 days after America’s own Independence Day, Bastille Day marks an important date for France. Here’s everything you need to know about the French holiday and its history. What is Bastille Day? While in the Anglophone world the holiday has been dubbed Bastille Day, in France it is known as “Le Quatorze Juillet” (The 14th of July ) or “La Fête Nationale” (National Day). France has been celebrating it’s national day every year since 1880, according to the French presidential website. What is the history behind the holiday? Bastille Day dates back to July 14, 1789 when a group of revolutionaries and troops stormed the medieval Bastille fortress in Paris that was being used as a prison for political prisoners. While there were not many prisoners being held at the Bastille in the late 1780s (seven at the time it was stormed), the prison was a symbol of the stringent and oppressive rule of the Bourbon monarchy. Food shortages and anger over attempts to assemble and draft a constitution mounted and the storming of the Bastille marked the start of the French Revolution that would see the overthrew of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette."

"text": "President Trump’s vision of soldiers marching and tanks rolling down the boulevards of Washington is moving closer to reality in the Pentagon and White House, where officials say they have begun to plan a grand military parade later this year showcasing the might of America’s armed forces. Trump has long mused publicly and privately about wanting such a parade, but a Jan. 18 meeting between Trump and top generals in the Pentagon’s tank — a room reserved for top-secret discussions — marked a tipping point, according to two officials briefed on the planning. Surrounded by the military’s highest-ranking officials, including Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., Trump’s seemingly abstract desire for a parade was suddenly heard as a presidential directive, the officials said. “The marching orders were: I want a parade like the one in France,” said a military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the planning discussions are supposed to remain confidential. “ This is being worked at the highest levels of the military. ”Shows of military strength are not typical in the United States — and they don’t come cheap. The cost of shipping Abrams tanks and high-tech hardware to Washington could run in the millions, and military officials said it was unclear how they would pay for it. A White House official familiar with the planning described the discussions as “brainstorming” and said nothing was settled. “ Right now, there’s really no meat on the bones,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. [ Trump’s military parade is one massive troll, complete with tanks]After The Washington Post first published this story, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement confirming that plans are underway."

"text": "\"Flag Why is Bastille day celebrated? Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Bastille Day represents the first steps that led to the foundation of the French Republic, and as such has been chosen as France's national day, called Fête Nationale in French, or more simply le quatorze juillet, because it is celebrated every fourteenth of July, regardless of the day of the week. It celebrates two events, the rather destructive storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, which was the historical starting date of the French Revolution, but more importantly, it celebrates the Fête de la Fédération which started on July 14, 1790, the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. This date was considered as the first constructive step toward the foundation of the first French Republic two years later, on September 22, 1792. July 14 is considered a more significant symbol for the Republic than September 22, and was thus promulgated the public holiday known as the Fête Nationale in 1880. In France the 14th of July is called \"\"Bastille day\"\" or \"\"le quatorze juillet\"\" (or Fête Nationale) and it is remembered that on this day in 1789 the Bastille prison was stormed by a mob, marking this event the beginning on the French Revolution. The anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Two hundred and fifty years ago, in 1748, Jeremy Bentham was born in London, and in 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1 (hereinafter United Nations \"\"Declaration\"\") was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York. Thus in 1998 we celebrated two major anniversaries, the birth of an important and influential English thinker--a philosopher, lawyer, reformer, and public policy analyst; and the anniversary of the formulation of the most influential manifesto of international human rights. The conjunction of these two events provides an occasion for reflection on some of Bentham's philosophical arguments regarding what in his day were called \"\"natural rights\"\" and what are now called \"\"human rights.\"\" 2 This [End Page 261] opportunity arises because Bentham wrote an essay titled \"\"Anarchical Fallacies,\"\" 3 in which he attacked the most popular manifesto of such rights in his day, the \"\"Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen\"\" 4 (hereinafter French \"\"Declaration\"\"). This \"\"Declaration\"\" was adopted by the French National Assembly in August 1789, a mere six weeks after the storming of the Bastille, the opening salvo of what was to become the French Revolution. Bentham's essay has a curious history. Apparently written sometime in 1796, it remained unpublished until 1816, when it appeared in print--not in London, but in Geneva, Switzerland, and not in English but in French. It became available in English only in 1834, two years after Bentham's death, when his collected works were published in London. 5In light of Bentham's scathing criticisms of the French \"\"Declaration,\"\" one naturally wonders what he would have had to say today were he in a position to evaluate the United Nations \"\"Declaration.\"\""

Whether you're living in France or just visiting, below is a list of important French holidays to mark on your calendar. Many businesses in France close for French national holidays (or French bank holidays), although some shopping centres and grocers may stay open on French holidays, even if only for half a day, particularly in larger cities. France observes 11 French public holidays each year, however, only May Day is classed as a statutory (paid) holiday in France; the entitlement to other paid French holidays and the conditions for working on French national holidays (such as higher pay) are left to the discretion of the employer-employee contract or union, so check the French holiday calendar when looking for jobs in France. Most French holidays apply across the nation although two regions, Alsace and Lorraine, have two extra French public holidays. The former German territory retained these two extra public holidays when it was returned to France at the end of WWI. If a national holiday in France falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is usually given as a French holiday. If a national holiday in France falls on a Saturday, however, no extra day is given during the week. When French holiday dates fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, employees in France commonly make a 'bridge' holiday ( faire le pont ), creating a very long weekend. Some businesses may opt to close completely during a bridge holiday in France."

"text": "Illustration of the storming of the Bastille prison, in an event that has come to be seen as the start of the French Revolution, 14th July 1789. Hulton Archive / Getty Images By Emma Ockerman July 13, 2016The French national holiday of Bastille Day— celebrated each year on July 14, or le quatorze juillet —may spell fireworks and and a large military parade for some, but for most, it still marks the anniversary of the storming of a grand fortress that was infamous for holding political prisoners, during the first moments of the French Revolution in Paris in 1789. But the meaning behind that action isn’t quite as poetic as the motto of “ l iberté, égalité, fraternité” sounds, says Dan Edelstein, chair of the Division of Literatures, Cultures and Languages at Stanford and an expert on 18th century France. Back in July of 1789, France had already experienced a rough summer that included food shortages, high taxes (as a solution to King Louis XVI ’s debts) and the militarization of Paris. Sensing distress, the king called upon the Estates-General—an assembly that hadn’t met in more than a century—to deliver a new tax plan. That resulted in the Third Estate, the non-noble/non-clergy portion of the assembly, breaking from the clergy and nobility, and demanding a written constitution from France. Their proclamation would form the National Assembly in late June. Weeks later, after the king removed a finance minister, Jacques Necker, of whom the estate approved, fears that Louis XVI was attempting to quash any political revolution began to boil. That fear culminated on July 14 in a march to the Hôtel des Invalides to loot firearms and cannons, and a resulting (and far more famous) trip to the Bastille for proper ammunition. That hunt for gunpowder— not the hope of freeing prisoners—was the main reason for the storming of the Bastille."

It played an important role in the internal conflicts of France and for most of its history was used as a state prison by the kings of France. It was stormed by a crowd on 14 July 1789, in the French Revolution, becoming an important symbol for the French Republican movement, and was later demolished and replaced by the Place de la Bastille. The Bastille was built to defend the eastern approach to the city of Paris from the English threat in the Hundred Years' War. Initial work began in 1357, but the main construction occurred from 1370 onwards, creating a strong fortress with eight towers that protected the strategic gateway of the Porte Saint-Antoine on the eastern edge of Paris. The innovative design proved influential in both France and England and was widely copied. The Bastille figured prominently in France's domestic conflicts, including the fighting between the rival factions of the Burgundians and the Armagnacs in the 15th century, and the Wars of Religion in the 16th."

Signifying the start of the French Revolution, more than 200 years on it's still a central event in the nation's calendar, with celebrations including military parades.

The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the centre of Paris. The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.

[ 2] On 5 May 1789, the Estates General of 1789 convened to deal with this issue, but were held back by archaic protocols and the conservatism of the second estate, consisting of the nobility and amounting to only 2% of France's population. [ 3] On 17 June 1789, the third estate, with its representatives drawn from the commoners, reconstituted themselves as the National Assembly, a body whose purpose was the creation of a French constitution. The king initially opposed this development, but was forced to acknowledge the authority of the assembly, which renamed itself the National Constituent Assembly on 9 July. [ 4]The commoners had formed the National Guard, sporting tricolour cockades ( cocardes) of blue, white and red, formed by combining the red and blue cockade of Paris and the white cockade of the king. These cockades, and soon simply their colour scheme, became the symbol of the revolution and, later, of France itself. ["

"text": "\"National Boss Day is October 16 each year. When the holiday falls on a weekend, it is generally celebrated on the working day closest to October 16. National Boss Day offers employees an opportunity to recognize those in supervisory positions. Popular ways to say \"\"thanks\"\" include cards, a lunch in the boss's honor, flowers, or gift certificates. National Boss Day was started in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Ill., registered the holiday with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. She designated October 16 as the special day because it was her father's birthday. Ms. Haroski's purpose was to designate a day to show appreciation for her boss and other bosses. She also hoped to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors. She believed young employees often do not realize the challenges bosses face in running a business.

Hitler had committed suicide a week earlier, so it was left to Grand Admiral Donitz, boss of the Third Reich for just a week, to admit defeat. He acceded unconditionally to the Allies' demands in front of senior officers from Britain, America, Russia and France. After years of rationing, and horrific casualties, war-weary Brits started the party early, ahead of the official celebrations on May 8.

But in her office at Arista Records, where she is the personal assistant to Clive Davis, the president, the people who call her -- sometimes collect -- desperately want to sing. These callers, who are invariably \"\"the sister of a cousin of a friend,\"\" will do practically anything to get past Ms. Marino, for whom the telephone is a football field and she the offensive lineman.

Otherwise, it would be a no-questions-asked sick leave policy, and that would quickly be abused,\"\" says Bryan Cavanaugh, a St. Louis-based employment attorney. \"\" Asking what is wrong requires the employee to give a brief and general explanation about why he or she is absent, e.g., the employee's child is sick, the employee has a general illness or the employee has a major or minor injury. \"\" The Step-by-Step Guide to Career Success How to Write a Cover Letter How to Highlight Job Skills on a Resume How to Ace a Job Interview How to Answer Top Interview Questions Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid How to Negotiate Your Salary and Succeed How to Ask for a Leave of Absence What to Wear to Work How to Call in Sick How to Quit Your Job In general, when you call in sick, your manager can ask any follow-up questions she wishes."

"text": "Mar 30th, 2008How many hours per week should you work? I'm sure most of you have worked at a service job at one point in your life. That includes restaurants such as Mc Donald's or Burger King. I'm sure you knew exactly how many hours you were expected to work. A schedule was made, and you knew your scheduled hours each day. Fast forward to today. You're now working at a job where the customer is not longer looking for immediate help. If you have a career in software development like myself, you probably have days, weeks, or months to finish a project. If it weren't for the other employees that you need to collaborate with, you could conceivably be hiding in a cave in Klackiastan. If you need to estimate the amount of time your project will complete, you need to know the amount of work that you can effectively expect to finish in a given week."

"text": "\"Home » Getting Serious How Should I Handle My Man Forgetting My Birthday? By: Tabitha Harwell Celebrating a birthday should be fun and exciting; however, if your boyfriend forgot your big day then you may feel a little hurt or resentful You can request an extra special gift for this relationship faux pas. The special occasion only happens once a year, so you wouldn't think that he would forget, but boys can be forgetful, and their forgetfulness can cause you pain. Handling the situation of your forgotten birthday can be tricky if you don't know how to approach the subject, but it's important to talk out your feelings before you allow the resentment to grow. Meet Singles in your Area Free for 3 Days!Try Match.com!Step 1Plan a time that you can be with him alone to discuss your past birthday. Wherever you decide to meet -- whether at home or at a public place -- make sure you are free from distractions. You'll want to give him your full attention and you'll want his full attention on you. Step 2Express your feelings of hurt or inquire about why he forgot your birthday. He might not have known your specific birthday, especially if the relationship is fairly new; therefore ask him about it instead of making him guess the reason you are mad. Use \"\"I\"\" statements instead of \"\"you\"\" statements to avoid turning the discussion into a blame-game."

The £50m flop has attracted interest from the likes of Roma, but any buying club will struggle to pay Torres' £150,000-a-week wages. The Spanish striker therefore wants Chelsea to pay up the two years remaining on his deal - totalling around £16m - if he is to leave the club.

The striker, who posted a video of himself undertaking the Ice Bucket Challenge in Ibiza to Instagram on Monday, didn't make the bench for Jose Mourinho's side's 2-0 win over Leicester on Saturday, with new signing Diego Costa and returning Blues icon Didier Drogba both preferred. Despite leaving Torres out of the win, Mourinho insisted he needs three strikers in his squad: ‘I want three strikers in the team. Sometimes I want to play with two and have one on the bench. At other times, someone will be suspended, another will be injured. ' Someone will be needed as a third striker."

It has traditionally been a day for employees to thank their bosses for being kind and fair throughout the year. This day was created for the purpose of strengthening the bond of servitude between employer and employee. History [ edit]Patricia Bays Haroski registered \"\"National Boss' Day\"\" with the U. S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working as a secretary for State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, at the time and chose October 16, which was her father's birthday. She was working for her father at the time. The purpose of designating a special day in the workplace is to show the appreciation for her bosses she thought they deserved. This was also a strategy to attempt to improve intra-office relationships between managers and their employees. Haroski believed that young employees sometimes did not understand the hard work and dedication that their supervisors put into their work and the challenges they faced. [ 1] Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner backed Haroski's registration and officially proclaimed the day. ["

The 72-year-old, who played for Arsenal in the 1960s and 70s and was capped by Scotland, has cancelled forthcoming work and charity commitments in the near future, including those for the Willow Foundation that he founded with his wife Megs. The pundit, who retired from playing in 1974 but took up a coaching role with Arsenal for several years, was at Wembley for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final between the Gunners and Wigan Athletic. He is planning to return to public life as soon as possible, he said.+3Battle: Bob Wilson revealed he his to receive treatment Wilson, the BBC and ITV television presenter, said: 'I am very confident that the treatment I am receiving will prove successful and kindly ask that my privacy is respected at this time. ' His son, BBC Radio 4 presenter John Wilson, said: 'Knowing how strong my dad is, I have every faith he will be back to match fitness very soon indeed. ' Wilson's daughter, Anne, died in 1998 aged 31 after succumbing to a rare form of cancer.+3Flying save: Wilson played for Arsenal during the 1960s and 1970s Her widower, 44-year-old Mitchell Carey, died in 2010 in hospital from an acute bout of food poisoning.

Every year in the UK more than 40,000 men are struck with prostate cancer. Around 250,000 are currently living with the disease, with symptoms including frequent trips to the toilet, pain during sex and reduced flow of urine.+3Support: Wilson with his wife Megs in 2001However, not all men diagnosed with prostate cancer have symptoms, meaning it is important to speak regularly with doctors.

"text": "The name Coachella, although it is also the name of a city in Riverside County, California, usually refers to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The Coachella festival is held once a year in the city of Indio, also in Riverside County. Coachella is held during the last weekend of April. Since the first official Coachella festival in 1999, the event has grown in popularity to the point that the original two days designated for the festival have been extended to three days. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is held on the lawn of the Empire Polo Fields in Indio. At this location on 5 November 1993, the alternative rock bands Tool and Pearl Jam had performed for nearly 25,000 fans. The Empire Polo Fields proved to be an appropriate location for a large-scale concert, despite Indio’s harsh desert heat and distance from major cities in California, Arizona and Nevada. Finally, on 9 and 10 October 1999, the first official Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was held. The line-up included artists such as Beck, The Chemical Brothers, Tool, Morrissey, Rage Against the Machine, Jurassic 5 and DJ Shadow. Ad In the year 2000, Coachella was not held, supposedly due to lack of funding."

My friend asked me if I want to go, but I don't know anything about it.4 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It's only the best music festival in America! Maybe even the world... It's held every year in the late Spring in Indio, CA (near palm springs) and it's usually 2 days long, but this year (2007) it's gonna be 3 days! The dates are April 27, 28, 29, 2007. Most of the artists that perform there fall under the genre of alt/indie rock, underground hip-hop, or dance/electronica. There's also lots of crazy weird art and a mini film festival. Tickets are kinda expensive, but trust me, its worth it!

It was co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999, and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Live. [ 1] The event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music. The main stages are the: Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Gobi Tent, Mojave Tent, and Sahara Tent; a smaller Oasis Dome was used in 2006 and 2011, while a new Yuma stage was introduced in 2013 and a Sonora stage in 2017. The festival's origins trace back to a 1993 concert that Pearl Jam performed at the Empire Polo Club while boycotting venues controlled by Ticketmaster. The show validated the site's viability for hosting large events, leading to the inaugural Coachella Festival's being held over the course of two days in October 1999—just three months after Woodstock '99. After no event was held in 2000, Coachella returned on an annual basis beginning in April 2001, as a single-day event. In 2002, the festival reverted to a two-day format. Coachella was expanded to a third day in 2007 and eventually a second weekend in 2012; it is currently held on consecutive three-day weekends in April, with each weekend having identical lineups."

"text": "The Many Uses of Boom Lifts These versatile products can be found helping out at work and at play. January 6, 2006Genie lifts work their magic at Coachella Music & Arts Festival Holding a rock concert for 60,000 people in the middle of the desert takes a lot of equipment. The Coachella Music and Arts Festival is held on the Empire Polo Grounds near Palm Springs and this year featured artists such as Coldplay and Nine Inch Nails. The hot and dusty environment is a test of endurance for both the people creating this temporary city in the desert and the equipment used to make the festival possible. Genie Industries’ stick and articulating boom lifts were used by the producers of the festival for everything from tent building to transporting materials. The Coachella Festival features five stages. Two huge outdoor stages are used for some of the most well-known artists, while the other three stages are housed in large tent structures. Genie boom lifts are used in the construction of the tents — first to assemble the tent framework and then to help with the covering. The tents are constructed by assembling arch-shaped support beams on the ground. These beams are then erected one at a time and attached to each other to form the tents’ super structure."

It is located 28 miles (45 km) east of Palm Springs, 72 miles (116 km) east of Riverside, and 130 miles (210 km) east of Los Angeles. Known as the \"\"City of Eternal Sunshine\"\", Coachella is largely a rural and agricultural community in the desert and one of the state's fastest growing cities in the late 20th century. When it first incorporated back in 1946, it had 1,000 residents, but the population was 40,704 at the 2010 census. The eastern half of the Coachella valley is below sea level, and the area's average elevation is 68 feet (35 m) below sea level. The Salton Sea, a saltwater lake located about 10 miles (16 km) South of Coachella, lies 227 feet (69 m) below sea level. The city also lends its name to the Coachella grapefruit; the town's stretch of State Route 111 is named Grapefruit Boulevard in its honor."

It is generally accepted that Christopher Columbus was the first European to have discovered the New World of the Americas.1992 marked the 500th anniversary of the Columbus discovery. Across the united states people celebrate the day Columbus landed in america because it changed the course of history. It is interesting that Americans might not have a Columbus Day if Christopher Columbus had not been born in Italy*. Columbus Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the second Monday in October each year Out of pride for their native son, the Italian population of New York City organised the first celebration of the discovery of America on October 12, 1866. The following year, more Italian organisations in an increased number of cities held banquets, parades and dances on that date. In 1869, when the Italians of San Francisco celebrated October 12, they called it Columbus Day. In 1905, Colorado became the first state to observe a Columbus Day. Over the next twenty years other states followed. In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed every October 12 as Columbus Day. Since 1971, Columbus Day has been celebrated on the second Monday in October."

"text": "\"History Crash Course #48: The Inquisition The Inquisition sought to expose Jews who converted to Christianity but were still secretly Jewish.by Rabbi Ken Spiro In Part 45, when we discussed the Crusades, we covered the war of the Church against the Muslims in the Middle East. Now we turn to the war of the Church against Muslims in Europe. This war went on for quite some time in fits and starts – from the time the Muslim Moors arrived in Spain in 711. It took a long time for the Christians to vanquish them. The first Muslim stronghold to fall was Toledo in 1085; the last was Granada in 1492. As the Christian re-conquest gained momentum, Jews in these newly re-conquered Christians territories began to suffer from increasingly harsher persecutions. In their blood-thirsty vengeance against the Muslims, the Spanish Christians included the Jews, whom they put in the category of infidels. In 14th century Barcelona, for example, the whole Jewish community was murdered by a rioting mob. First given shelter by some Christians, these Jews were pressured to convert. Those who did not were refused protection."

"text": "Why Do We Celebrate Columbus Day and Not Leif Erikson Day? Some consider Erikson to be the first European to reach America—and over a century ago, there was a push to recognize him over Columbus. A statue of Leif Erikson, the Viking thought to have sailed to the Americas 500 years before Columbus, guards the Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavík, Iceland. Photograph by Arctic-Images, Corbis By Becky Little PUBLISHED October 11, 2015What’s Spongebob Squarepants’s favorite holiday, besides April Fools’ Day? Unless you’re really into Vikings, you probably missed it. October 9 is Leif Erikson Day, a United States holiday that honors the Icelandic explorer who some believe was the first European to reach North America. Leif Erikson Day doesn’t get as much recognition because it’s overshadowed by Monday’s Columbus Day—which, unlike Erikson’s day, is a federal holiday, meaning government employees get off work, as do many students and private-sector workers. Christopher Columbus and his holiday are controversial today largely because of the way he and subsequent European explorers and settlers treated Native Americans. For years, there have been campaigns to celebrate an indigenous people's day. But in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many people had a different problem with Columbus: They argued that the real credit for discovering North America should go to Erikson, who they believed arrived 500 years before Columbus."

"text": "1:365 myths about Christopher Columbus You may have learned in school that Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492 in the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria and proved for the first time in history that the earth wasn’t flat. Actually, he didn’t — discover America or prove that the earth wasn’t flat, and there is some question as to the names of his ships. His four trips from Spain across the Atlantic — in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502 — did, however, change human history forever, ushering in what is known as the Columbian Exchange — the historic exchange of plants, animals, disease, culture, technology and people between the Old and New Worlds. The Old World, for example, got chocolate (and many other things), and the New World got wheat, along with bubonic plague, chicken pox, cholera, malaria, measles, typhoid, etc., which decimated the populations of indigenous people Columbus found living on the islands he “discovered. ”As for Columbus himself, he mapped the coasts of Central America and South America but never set foot on North America, and died thinking he had discovered Asia. He ruled the Caribbean islands as viceroy and governor so brutally that, according to US-History.com: “Even his most ardent admirers acknowledge that Columbus was self-centered, ruthless, avaricious and a racist. ”Columbus has long been believed to have been born in Genoa, Italy, though some historians think he was born in Spain’s Catalonia region. He sailed for the Spanish crown, and his remains are in Spain. Italians in the United States have taken great pride in him and sponsor many of the celebrations held in his name each year to honor Italian American heritage."

"text": "Opinion The Truth About Christopher Columbus By Tommy De Seno Published October 11, 2010 Fox News Facebook Twitter livefyre Email I’m sure it’s happened to you, as it did to me, again, last night: Some starry-eyed collegian told me that Christopher Columbus shouldn’t be celebrated because of his treatment of native Americans. Oh, and surprise, surprise, she was armed with nothing more than her university professor’s insistence. ADVERTISEMENTIf Mark Twain was right that a lie can travel halfway around the world before truth has a chance to put on its shoes, imagine the damage a lie can do over 500 years. Let me introduce you to Francisco de Bobadilla – liar and Columbus usurper. The criticism of Columbus today comes from de Bobadilla. Who was he? The man who wanted Columbus’s job as governor of Hispaniola. In 1500 the King and Queen sent him to North America to investigate claims that Columbus wasn’t being fair to the European settlers (which means Columbus was protecting the Indians). So de Bobedilla came here, and in just a few short days did his investigation (with no telephones or motorized vehicles to help him), and promptly arrested Columbus and his brothers for Indian mistreatment and sent them back to Spain, sans a trial. Oh and, he also appointed himself governor."

Oct 9, 2011 10:33 PM By James Heather Famous explorer Christopher Columbus died in 1506 at age 54 after battling \"\"reactive arthritis. \"\" metmuseum.org/via wikipedia Share Tweet Share E-mail Famous explorer Christopher Columbus, whom the U. S. celebrates today with “Columbus Day,” died at age 54 in 1506 after battling \"\"reactive arthritis,\"\" an illness which is now treatable. Columbus died of a heart attack caused by the disease, according to a study published on February 2007 by Antonio Rodriguez Cuartero, from the Department of Internal Medicine of the University of Granada. Cuartero, working from Columbus’ diary and writings of his son, was able to assemble a nearly complete clinical history of the explorer, Cuartero told Mexican publication El Universal. Columbus battled with symptoms such as burning pain during urination, pain of the knees and swelling and infection in the eyes known as conjunctivitis. All linked to the disease, according to his personal diaries and notes from contemporaries. Frank C. Arnett M. D., a rheumatologist and professor at the University of Texas, said in 2010 that Columbus experienced “many months of debilitation on several occasions before becoming completely bedridden. ”“Reactive arthritis is an inflammation of certain joints that occurs several weeks after intestinal bacterial infections or after acquiring a sexually transmitted disease like Chlamydia,” he says. “ It seems likely that he acquired reactive arthritis from food poisoning on one of his ocean voyages because of poor sanitation and improper food preparation."

He made a total of four trips to the Caribbean and South America during the years 1492-1504. The First Trip: Columbus sailed for King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella of Spain. On his first trip, Columbus led an expedition with three ships, the Niña (captained by Vicente Yáñez Pinzon ), the Pinta (owned and captained by Martin Alonzo Pinzon ), and the Santa Maria (captained by Columbus), and about 90 crew members."

"text": "\"Christopher Columbus: The Untold Story Many people are surprised to learn that Christopher Columbus and his men enslaved native inhabitants of the West Indies, forced them to convert to Christianity, and subdued them with violence in an effort to seek riches. For readers who are skeptical or wish to learn more, this page contains information that can be confirmed by consulting the sources cited. After reading this page, please also see Examining the Reputation of Columbus . In Pursuit of Profits On April 17, 1492, before his first voyage to the Americas, Columbus negotiated a business contract with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, entitling him to 10% of all profits. In this contract, the Spanish sovereigns agreed:\"\"that of all and every kind of merchandise, whether pearls, precious stones, gold, silver, spices, and other objects and merchandise whatsoever, of whatever kind, name and sort, which may be bought, bartered, discovered, acquired and obtained within the limits of the said Admiralty, Your Highnesses grant from now henceforth to the said Don Cristóbal [Christopher Columbus] ... the tenth part of the whole, after deducting all the expenses which may be incurred therein.\"\" [ 1]After his fourth and final voyage to the Americas, Columbus summed up his feelings about gold in a July 7, 1503, letter to Ferdinand and Isabella: \"\"Gold is most excellent; gold is treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world.\"\" [ 2]After Turning Out the Jews Beyond profits, Columbus sought to convert native people to Catholicism. In the prologue to his journal of the first voyage, Columbus wrote to Ferdinand and Isabella:\"\"YOUR HIGHNESSES, as Catholic Christians and Princes who love the holy Christian faith, and the propagation of it, and who are enemies to the sect of Mahoma [Islam] and to all idolatries and heresies, resolved to send me, Cristóbal Colon, to the said parts of India to see the said princes ... with a view that they might be converted to our holy faith .... Thus, after having turned out all the Jews from all your kingdoms and lordships ... your Highnesses gave orders to me that with a sufficient fleet I should go to the said parts of India .... I shall forget sleep, and shall work at the business of navigation, so that the service is performed.\"\" [ 3]The Enslavement of Native People On October 12, 1492 (the first day he encountered the native people of the Americas), Columbus wrote in his journal: \"\"They should be good servants .... I, our Lord being pleased, will take hence, at the time of my departure, six natives for your Highnesses.\"\" These captives were later paraded through the streets of Barcelona and Seville when Columbus returned to Spain.

"text": "\"In 1492: 25 facts about Christopher Columbus and his disputed holiday By Jackie Hicken, Deseret News Published: Oct. 13, 2013 8:02 p.m.31 Comments Wikipedia For schoolchildren, Columbus Day likely means revisiting the old rhyme, \"\"In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue,\"\" and discussing the role the explorer played in the discovery of the New World. Beyond the grade-school classroom, however, Columbus Day is a holiday despised by some, celebrated by others and a hot topic of debate for many. Was Columbus a bad person? Was he responsible for the decimation of the natives in the lands he discovered, both through disease and warfare? Did he discover America? Is his place in history that of a man of myth or a man of legend? Here's a look at the famed navigator, the voyage to the New World, the history of today's holiday and other interesting facts that have helped drive the conversations and controversy surrounding Christopher Columbus. Wikipedia Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy, and spent the years leading up to 1492 at sea, participating in trading voyages and expeditions to Africa. Because Muslim domination of land trade routes made travel to India and China difficult, Columbus came up with a plan to sail west in order to reach the East, according to biography.com. Columbus and his contemporaries did not believe the world was flat; rather Columbus believed its circumference was much smaller than it actually is, which helped him develop his west-to-East plan."

Typically, regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time. [ 3]George Hudson proposed the idea of daylight saving in 1895. [ 4] The German Empire and Austria-Hungary organized the first nationwide implementation, starting on April 30, 1916.

Is it forward or back? Daylight saving time ends this year on Sunday, Nov. 6. Officially speaking, clocks should be turned back at 2 a.m., but many people do that before they go to bed Saturday night -- or get up in the morning and find they're an hour early for everything.

This is always a tricky time of year, as everyone is mentally adjusting to the abrupt shift in schedule and the \"\"falling back\"\" of an hour of the day. But, can this annual change affect us and our health? There are a lot of myths floating around out there about Daylight Saving Time, its history, and its impact on those who observe it. What's fact and what's myth? As we likely all know too well, there are a lot of pros and cons when it comes to daylight savings ending. On one hand, you've gained an extra (precious) hour of sleep. On the other hand, turning the clocks back an hour means our internal body clocks will feel off for at least a couple of weeks. Not to mention, we'll all be commuting home from work for the next few months in pitch black darkness — not so fun. These faults are what make DST so controversial."

The switch happens Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. local daylight time. Most devices connected wirelessly to the internet will automatically \"\"fall back\"\" to 1 a.m. local standard time, but don't forget to change any clocks that need a manual change, such as a wall or microwave clock. Most people are asleep at 2 a.m., which is precisely why the government set it as the designated time to end daylight saving, Live Science reported in 2012. If it occurred during the daytime or evening, the time alteration would likely catch people and businesses off guard, disrupting activities. [ Daylight Saving Time 2016: A Guide to the When, Why, What and How ]It would also be confusing to change the clocks at midnight back to 11 p.m., because that would change not only the time, but also the day, Live Science reported. Once daylight saving (not \"\"savings,\"\" as many people say) time ends, most Americans will stay on standard time until March 12, 2017. The idea for changing the clocks is traced to Benjamin Franklin, who reckoned that people could conserve energy and revel in an extra hour of daylight if they moved their clocks forward in the spring, according to David Prerau, author of \"\"Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time\"\" (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2005), as reported by Live Science. However, the United States didn't implement the clock modification as a way to save fuel until May 1916, in the midst of World War I. But it's unclear whether daylight saving really does save energy, according to several studies, including a 2007 Department of Energy study and a 1997 study on a residential home in Kansas, Live Science reported. Moreover, daylight saving time comes with its fair share of challenges."

S. and Canada and that country observes daylight savings time, your time to change your clock might be sooner or later. Why is it different for the U. S.? The Energy Policy Act of 2005 that was passed by U. S. Congress and signed by President George W. Bush, attempted to combat growing energy problems, provide tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various types. The bill also amended the Uniform Time Act on 1966 that changed the start and end dates of daylight savings time starting in 2007. Clocks were to be set ahead on the second Sunday of March, instead of the first Sunday of April and clocks were to be set back one hour on the first Sunday of November instead of the last Sunday of October. The reasoning behind daylight savings and the time shifts was to take advantage of the daylight in the mornings and the lighter evenings during the summer. In America, summer time saved the equivalent in energy of 10,000 barrels of oil each day during the 1973 oil embargo."

But why do we have DST and where did it come from? It turns out that Daylight Saving Time has a rich history spanning hundreds of years and two World Wars. So let’s take a brief journey through time to understanding the origin and purpose of this time travel trickery. The History Behind Daylight Saving Time Daylight Saving Time is simply a change by one hour in the time of each time zone. Time zones were first used by the railroads in 1883 to standardize their schedules. Before time zones, time was set locally based on various astronomical conditions. In 1918, the U. S. Congress made the U. S. rail zones official under federal law and gave the responsibility to make any changes to the Interstate Commerce Commission."

S. clocks spring forward again this Sunday, March 13, for daylight saving time, the annual event that stretches the hours of evening sunlight and irritates those who'd rather leave well enough alone . So who's responsible for this controversial clock changing? Ben Franklin first introduced the basic idea way back in 1784, but he did so with tongue planted firmly in cheek. French ambassador Franklin flashed his legendary wit with a letter to the Journal of Paris in which he claimed to be astonished, upon being awakened at 6 a.m., to find that the sun was already up. He, and no doubt his readers, had never seen the sun before noon. ( Related: \"\" Daylight Saving Time: 7 Surprising Things You May Not Know . \"\")“ I saw it with my own eyes."

But it is even more complex than that! Some years ago I created a page based on information from the file asia, which is part of the tz database. After giving a lecture on the Chinese calendar at the Department of History at the National University of Singapore I got in touch with Mok Ly Yng, who has researched this extensively, and corrected some errors in the tz database. I have therefore replaced this page with the article he sent me. Mok Ly Yng has also helped me with the page Where is the Geographical Origin Point of Singapore? The time zones in Singapore and Malaysia are good examples of how the lines between time zones tend to creep westward over the years. In other words, a place that's near the eastern edge of a time zone is likely to move its clocks ahead one hour, thereby moving to the western edge of the adjacent time zone. I have a separate page on Time Zones in Malaysia."

"text": "\"The Financial History of Daylight Saving October 31, 2014, 08:39:08 AM EDT By Bankrate Shutterstock photo By Travers Korch for Bankrate.com Conceived by Benjamin Franklin and panned by Native American proverbs, daylight saving time, or DST, has been a constant topic of debate. And as this year's \"\"fallback\"\" approaches (2 a.m. on Nov. 2), what better time than now to learn about its origins? Nearly 100 years ago, it was created for practicality, but it has caused astonishing confusion along the way. Implemented to save energy costs and be a boon to the economy, many argue DST has been more of a detriment financially. \"\" From the very beginning, the basic goal of daylight saving was to move the hours of daylight to better match with the hours of human activity,\"\" says David Prerau, author of \"\"Seize the Daylight\"\" and widely recognized as the leading authority on the concept of DST. While in Paris in 1784, Benjamin Franklin sarcastically noted in a letter that nature isn't accommodating to our modern schedules. Franklin understood the financial benefits of early daylight in the summer, provided we all still got to sleep in. \"\" If I had not been awakened so early in the morning,\"\" he wrote, \"\"I should have slept six hours longer by the light of the sun, and in exchange have lived six hours the following night by candlelight; the latter being a much more expensive light than the former.\"\" Franklin went on to calculate a seasonal savings for Paris of roughly 128 million candlelight hours if people simply woke up earlier. War in daylight His suggestions were collectively laughed off by society until Brit William Willett lobbied the British government hard for daylight saving on behalf of the public's \"\"health and happiness\"\" -- and an annual energy savings of about 2.5 million British pounds."

"text": "Learn > When Does Daylight Saving Time Begin In 2016When Does Daylight Saving Time Begin In 2016Daylight Saving Time – often called “Daylight Savings” or “summer time” – is observed in the summer when there are more hours of sunlight available. There are many reasons why this time change has been adopted which we will discuss later. When Daylight Saving is not active, during the winter in most places, this is considered standard time. The moment when a time zone changes from standard time to DST – or vice versa - depends on the region or country where it is being activated. This can be confusing to keep track of, especially since some areas don’t even observe it. For instance, in the U. S. the Daylight Saving change happens on the second Sunday of March (this year it is March 13), so at 2:00 AM on that day the clocks will be moved forward an hour to 3:00 AM. It ends on the first Sunday in November (which is Nov 6 this year) at 2:00 AM, so at that time, the clocks will be turned back one hour to 1:00 AM. In some territories, when Daylight Saving is active they switch to a completely different time zone other than the “standard” zone instead of altering the clocks. The UK is a great example of this as they make the switch from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to British Summer Time (BST) during Daylight Saving. Why Do We Use Daylight Saving?"

"text": "Halloween is right around the bend, and thanks to its macabre iconography of zombies, ghosts, and skeletons, the holiday is often conflated with one farther South— Dia de los Muertos, Mexico’s Day of the Dead, which traces to the pre-Columbian era and stretches from October 28 until November 2. Depending on where you live, you might see images of the iconic, animated skeletons called calaveras, invented by 19th-century printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada and popularized by artist Diego Rivera. Or you might marvel at the tiny, intricately decorated sugar skulls, intended to decorate your home altar, for sale at Mexican markets. What is Dia de los Muertos all about? For answers, we turned to Lesley Téllez, author of the cookbook “ Eat Mexico: Recipes From Mexico City’s Streets, Fondas, and Markets .” Téllez was born in America but spent four years in Mexico City—specifically to learn more about its culture and food—in 2009. She became so enamored of the nation that she now runs a company hosting food tours in Mexico City and Puebla. Here are a few things we learned: Latin Content/Getty Images This is a reflective holiday. Neither joyous nor somber, per se, the Day of the Dead is about remembering loved ones who have passed on, and “a time of reflection,” says Téllez. “ There’s definitely peace associated with the feelings of remembering people, remembering your family, and connecting with your current family members or your friends."

Answer by Kara XXX Confidence votes 76Most visit the cemeteries where their loved ones are buried and decorate their graves with ofrendas, or offerings, which often include yellow or orange marigold flowers thought to attract souls of the dead. Toys are brought for dead children (los angelitos, or little angels), and bottles of tequila, mezcal, pulque or atole for adults. Families will also offer trinkets and the deceased's favorite candies (dulces) on the grave. Ofrendas (offerings) are also put in homes, usually with foods such as candied pumpkin, pan de muerto (\"\"bread of the dead\"\") or sugar skulls and beverages such as atole. The ofrendas are provided in the homes as a welcoming gesture for the deceased. Some people believe the spirits of the dead eat the \"\"spiritual essence\"\" of the ofrenda food. Additionally, pillows and blankets are left out so that the deceased can rest after their long journey.

"text": "\"Photo by Dan Lopez By Mo Ka Hammeken“La Catrina” is a key element within Mexican culture. Originally she was created as a satire of Mexican aristocracy in the pre-revolutionary era. The original name of this celebrated figure, with 100% Mexican roots, was “Calavera Garbancera,” as “garbancera” was the nickname at that time given to people of indigenous ancestry who imitated and acted with European style and denied their cultural heritage. The calavera does not wear any clothes, but only a hat; its creator describes it as, “…bones but with a French hat with its ostrich feathers.” What can be appreciated is a critique of many Mexicans who are poor, but still wish to appear with a European lifestyle that does not suit them. Times were cruel. The social classes were extremely segmented and the highest class was the most fortunate and enjoyed many privileges; to the contrary, the lower classes were nearly invisible. To explain and rescue the folklore of worshiping the dead, while showing this off to high society, José Guadalupe Posada made caricatures of Death, one of these drawings being the famous calavera with an elegant hat, though only representing the head and bust with a sophisticated and skeletal essence. Time later, Diego Rivera rebaptized the calavera and gave it an entire body in the mural “Dream of a Sunday afternoon along Central Alameda.” Measuring 15 meters long, Rivera did this painting in 1948, in which the calavera appears accompanying José Guadalupe Posada, as the personification of the most well-known skeletal woman."

Andrew Chesnut David Metcalfe, author, researcher and founder of Liminal Analytics - Applied Research Collaborative - co-authored this piece. The season of death is upon us. Halloween and the Mexican death trinity of Day of the Dead, Catrina Calavera (Skeleton Dame), and Santa Muerte (Saint Death) engage millions of North and South Americans in rituals that reconnect us with our own mortality. Leaving aside the jack-o-lanterns and trick or treating of our own childhood in the U. S., we seek to answer one of the two questions that invariably come up during our presentations on Santa Muerte. What is the relationship, if any, among Saint Death, Catrina Calavera, and Day of the Dead? The other question that always comes up is “Do you believe in her?”Saint Death Let’s first take a look at the member of the Mexican death trio who has been in the limelight during the past four years, especially with her cameo appearance in the critically-acclaimed TV series, Breaking Bad. Santa Muerte is a Mexican folk saint who personifies death in the form a female skeleton. Whether as a votive candle, gold medallion or statue, she is typically depicted as a Grim Reapress, wielding the same scythe and wearing a shroud similar to the Grim Reaper, her male twin. Folk saints, unlike official Catholic ones, are spirits of the dead considered holy for their miracle working powers. However, what really sets the Bony Lady apart from other folk saints is that for most devotees she is the vert personification of death itself and not of a particular deceased human being."

K. Bangs, Harper's Weekly, Nov. 5, 1910. Each year on October 31st, as the ghosts and goblins of Halloween parade the streets and doorsteps of our neighborhoods, we re-enact remnants of ancient folk customs that pay homage to departed ancestors as well as to the souls of our loved ones who have died. These annual revivals of ancient rituals form the basis of our contemporary American festival. Halloween has traditionally been associated in America with dressing up in costume and with consuming sweets; however, the roots of the holiday lie in late autumn harvest rituals that correspond to natural, seasonal changes and that are expressed in commemorations of the dying year. During this period of transition, cultures across the world remember those who have passed on by drawing an analogy between human death and the dark, cold winter months that loom ahead. While trick or treating in princess and hobo costumes, carving jack-o-lanterns and telling spooky ghost stories like Washington Irving’s tale The Legend of Sleepy Hollow are traditional hallmarks of the American holiday, other cultures experience their festivals of the dead in very different forms. This EDSITEment feature can be used with students as a framework for discussing the origins and history of the Halloween festival and introducing them to the Mexican festival, the Day of the Dead ( el Día de Muertos ), recognizing the common elements shared these festivals of the dead as well as the acknowledging the differences between them.

Celebrated in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints Day on November 1st and All Soul’s Day on November 2, celebrations vary from one country and region to another and can be traced back to the indigenous cultures. Sugar skulls from Mexico Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors have been practiced by pre-Columbian civilizations for as long as 2,500–3,000 year where it was common to keep skulls as trophies and display them during the rituals to symbolize death and rebirth. Mexico is best known for its D í a de los Muertos celebrations which include pageantry, processions and public display of altars to the dead. In the Andean regions of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia families gather together in cemeteries to remember ancestors and loved ones with offerings of food which include: colada morada, a spiced fruit porridge made with Andean blackberry and purple maize and guagua de pan, a bread shaped like a swaddled infant that is sometimes filled with cheese or guava. In Brazil the holiday of Finados (Day of the Dead) is celebrated on November 2, when people go to cemeteries and churches with flowers, candles, and prayer to celebrate those who have passed away in a positive way. In Bolivia the D í a de las ñatitas or Day of the Skulls is an ancient Bolivian ritual celebrated on November 9 where skulls of ancestors are decorated with flowers and pampered with cigarettes, coca leaves and other treats to bring good luck to the family. El D í a de Los Muertos in my home county: Guatemala In my country, Guatemala, the celebration of El D í a de Los Muertos or D í a de Los Difuntos is more of a family holiday. For me it marks the beginning of a season filled with traditional family holidays starting with El D í a de los Muertos and then continuing with La Quema del Diablo, Las Posadas, Noche Buena, Navidad and A ñ o Nuevo . As October comes to an end flower stands bloom on every corner of Guatemala City, kite vendors displays sway in the brisk November winds and marketplaces and cemeteries are filled with multicolored flowers."

"text": "\" (Photo: Phoenix Art Museum)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MORESince his death a century ago, José Guadalupe Posada's work has steadily gained popularity with art lovers and Dia de los Muertos celebrators alike. He is especially known for his calaveras images of whimsical skeletons. Posada, born in 1852 in the Mexican state of Aquascalientes, began his career as a teacher of lithography. In 1887, he moved to Mexico City where he worked as an illustrator for hire. His work reflected the times in which he lived. Posada's illustrations made the stories, news articles, broadsides, advertisements and the many other items his work accompanied easy to grasp for a poverty-stricken population that overwhelmingly was illiterate. Truly defining the phrase \"\"a picture speaks a thousand words,\"\" he captured the essence of an emotion, putting it in a form that made it come to life for thousands of people. DAY OF THE DEAD: Landing page | 2016 events | Where to shop for Dia de los Muertos | History | Crafts | Recipes | For teachers and students Nearly 20,000 images during his career Posada created hundreds of images to accompany the lyrics of corridos (Mexican ballads). The corridos were mostly topical, relaying the death of a bullfighter, the beginnings and ending of the Mexican revolution, and while the lyrics filled in the stories, it was the music and artist's images that rounded out the feeling behind the songs. Eventually settling down as the chief illustrator for Antonio Vanegas Arroyo in Mexico City, Posada created nearly 20,000 images during his career."

One of the best things about foreign counties is their diverse traditions. Although it is sometimes hard for people to see outside of their own society and culture, it is important to understand that every place is different. Some countries delight in the Fourth of July, which proves to be extremely meaningful to the United States, while others celebrate the Day of the Dead (El Dia de los Muertos) in Mexico. From here, we will explore in limited detail some of the most significant Argentina traditions in their culture. Like every culture, Argentina has national, annual holidays and celebration festivities that are important to its culture. Argentina citizens celebrate Ano Nuevo on the first of January. This holiday involves a family dinner followed by a midnight display of fireworks. Many of these celebrations tend to take place near natural bodies of water. Although this is relatively similar to other familiar traditions, they also participate in eating beans in hopes of keeping their jobs or getting a promotion and also carrying a suitcase around their living quarters if they wish to travel more throughout the new year."

It is celebrated generally between Halloween, Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, and coincides with the Catholic holy days of All Saints (Nov. 1) and All Souls (Nov. 2). Day of the Dead is actually divided into two distinct holidays, the first being Dide los Inocentes, which is dedicated to children on Nov. 1, and Dide los Muertos on Nov. 2, which is the actual Day of the Dead. Both days taken together are collectively referred to as the Day of the Dead, and celebrations can begin as early as Halloween (Oct. 31). In recent years, the tradition has spread into North America, particularly into communities with large Mexican and Latin American populations. The holiday blends with celebrations across several nations and cultures and draws upon traditions found in other cultures, however the holiday is largely a Mexican development. Families often come together over this period and preparations can be made during the entire year leading up to the Day of the Dead. This is a solemn occasion, with few actual festivities. Instead, people visit and repair graves of their dearly departed. It is common to light candles, leave offerings of prepared foods, often a favorite meal, and to pray and play music."

Sugar art had been used in Italy to celebrate Easter, an annual Christian festival that celebrated Jesus Christ rising from the dead. Italians would create lambs and angels out of sugar and sweet pastry and use these sweets to decorate the side altars in Catholic churches. The introduction of sugar decorations into South America was an attempt to Christianize the existing rituals and ceremonies in the area.

The day, marked on April 22, is observed worldwide with rallies, conferences, outdoor activities and service projects. Started as a grassroots movement, Earth Day created public support for the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and contributed to the passage of the Clean Air Act, the Water Quality Improvement Act, the Endangered Species Act and several other environmental laws. The idea for Earth Day was proposed by then-Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, who died in 2005. This year, the environmental advocacy group Earth Day Network (EDN) has joined forces with the March for Science to organize a rally on the national mall in Washington, D. C. \"\"The day's program will include speeches and trainings with scientists and civic organizers, musical performances and a march through the streets of Washington, D. C.,\"\" according to the network's website. [ Check out Live Science's Guide for the March for Science ]History The first Earth Day was in 1970. Nelson, after seeing the damage done by a 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, was inspired to organize a national \"\"teach-in\"\" that focused on educating the public about the environment. Nelson recruited Denis Hayes, a politically active recent graduate of Stanford University, as national coordinator, and persuaded U. S. Rep. Pete Mc Closkey of California to be co-chairman."

The cause of tides is actually quite interesting, and is the result of many factors interacting. In this article, we will look why we have tides, how they form, the role of the moon in tides and the different types that occur. Why Do We Have Tides? We have tides because the planet we live on is affected by gravity. The earth has its own gravitational pull, and it is effected by the pull of the Sun and the Moon. The moon is the primary cause of the tides each day, but the sun also affects them considerably. Each day the earth makes one complete orbit, so that each point on earth passes by the moon about one time; more or less. This varies because the moon’s orbit around earth takes 27.32 days, so it is moving and changes the time of the tide each day slightly; approximately by 50 minutes. The moon pulls on the earth and the water, so the water bulges at the point on earth which is nearest to the moon as it passes by."

Earth is unique in the Solar System as being the only planet which is able to support life in all its forms: from basic living micro-organisms to highly sophisticated and intelligent human beings. There are many reasons why this happens. Reason One: Atmosphere Earth has a breathable atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that is required for the life of most creatures. This is present in Earth's atmosphere and also in water. Oxygen is constantly put into the atmosphere by plants and trees. Earth's atmosphere also contains a small amount of carbon dioxide. This is a poisonous gas which makes up most of the atmosphere of planets like Venus and Mars and makes them unable to support human life. However, its smaller presence on Earth is useful as it helps to moderate the planet's temperature and is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis to produce oxygen."

Shocked and horrified, Alfred Nobel sat, reading his own obituary. The paper described him as the man who made it possible to kill more people more quickly than anyone else who ever lived. Alfred was devastated by how the world viewed him. His brother, Ludvig Nobel, had passed away and the global media incorrectly printed that Alfred Nobel had died. In our day, the name Nobel is associated with the world’s most famous and prestigious awards, the Nobel Peace Prize. However, in the mid to late 1800’s the name meant the complete opposite. Alfred Nobel came from a family of engineers. Born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 21, 1833, he was a descendant of Olof Rudbeck, the best known technical genius of the 17th century in Sweden.

The celestial event that marks this transition is called an \"\"equinox,\"\" and it happens twice every year, around March 21 and Sept. 21. Just what is an equinox, and why does it occur? The Earth moves in two different ways. First, the planet spins on its polar axis — a line through the north and south poles — once every 24 hours, causing the alternation of day and night. Secondly, it moves in its orbit around the sun once every 365.25 days, causing the annual cycle of seasons. The equinox occurs when these two motions intersect.

Scientists Ask Questions Have you ever gone for a walk on a nice day and come across a pair of birds singing to each other? Did you wonder what they were saying? Maybe you've gone fishing with some friends and you became curious about why certain lures work better than others. Or perhaps you've wondered why when you spill a glass of water you have very little time to prevent it from going all over the place, but if you knock over a jar of peanut butter, you can easily reset it without losing a single drop. Asking questions like this about our natural world is the mark of a good scientist.

"text": "\"The South Pole Does Not Exist!In the Flat-Earth model of the cosmos, the North Pole is the immovable center of the world and the entire universe. Polaris, the North Star, sits straight over the North Pole at the highest point in the heavens, and like a slowly rotating planetarium dome all the celestial bodies revolve around Polaris and over the Earth once per day. The Sun circles over and around the circumference of Earth every 24 hours, steadily traveling each day from the equator during the March vernal equinox, up to the Tropic of Cancer at the June summer solstice, back down to the equator for the September autumnal equinox, and all the way down to the Tropic of Capricorn on the December winter solstice. In the Flat-Earth model, the South Pole does not exist at all and Antarctica is instead a gigantic ice-wall extending the circumference of Earth holding in the oceans like a giant bowl, or a “world cup.” As strange as this concept may sound at first, it is a fact that if you set a bearing due South from anywhere on Earth, inevitably at or before 78 degrees Southern latitude, you will find yourself face-to-face with an enormous ice-wall towering 100-200 feet in the air extending to the East and West the entire circumference of the world!“ The ice-barrier, so frequently referred to in accounts of the Antarctic regions, is the fore-front of the enormous glacier-covering, or ice-cap, which, accumulating in vast, undulating fields from the heavy snowfall, and ultimately attaining hundreds, if not thousands, of feet in thickness, creeps from the continent of Antarctica into the polar sea. The ice-barrier, yet a part of the parent ice-cap, presents itself to the navigator who has boldness enough to approach its fearful front, as a solid, perpendicular wall of marble-like ice, ranging from one thousand to two thousand feet in thickness, of which from one hundred to two hundred feet rises above, and from eight hundred to eighteen hundred feet sinks below, the level of the sea .\"\" -Greely, General A. W. \"\"Antarctica, or the Hypothetical Southern Continent.\"\" Cosmopolitan 17 (1894): p. 296“ It has been demonstrated that the earth is a plane, the surface-centre of which is immediately underneath the star called ‘Polaris,’ and the extremities of which are bounded by a vast region of ice and water and irregular masses of land. The whole terminates in fog and darkness, where snow and driving hail, piercing sleet and boisterous winds, howling storms, madly-mounting waves, and clashing icebergs are almost constant. ”"

Can we count the genealogies to reckon the age of the earth. The Creation Account The Book of Genesis says that God created the heavens and the earth and He took six days to create it. These were literal days and not just a metaphor for thousands of years. People that say this do not understand that the actual words used for “day” were literal 24-hour periods of time. The word that is used for day is the Hebrew word “yom.” Every time it is used, and it is used 357 times outside of Genesis, it is referring to a 24-hour period of time and not a “thousand years.” There is no room for Bible hermeneutics to allow this to take place. Some have said that “ to the Lord, a day is as a thousand years ” (2 Peter 3:8) but the word that is used in this phrase is a figurative one and is not referring to a 24-hour period of time."

Article written: 20 Jul , 2016 Updated: 27 Nov , 2016 by Matt Williams Venus is often refereed to as “Earth’s sister planet”, thanks to the number of things it has in common with our planet. As a terrestrial planet, it is similarly composed of silicate rock and metals – which are differentiated between a metal core and a silicate crust and mantle. It also orbits within our Sun’s habitable zone, and had a similarly violent volcanic past. But of course, there are also some major differences between our two planets. For one, Venus has an atmosphere that is incredibly dense (92 times that of Earth, in fact) and reaches temperatures that are hot enough to melt lead. In addition, the planet’s rotation is immensely slow by comparison, taking 243.025 days to complete a single rotation, and rotating backwards relative to Earth. When discussing Venus’ rotation, it is important to note certain distinctions."

This is an amazing fact, considering that it is made out of the same matter as other planets in our solar system, was formed at the same time and through the same processes as every other planet, and gets its energy from the sun. To a universal traveler, Earth may seem to be a harmless little planet in the far reaches of one of billions of spiral galaxies in the universe. It has an average size star of average brightness and is joined by seven other planets — which support no known life forms — in its solar system. While this may be fitting for a passage from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, in the grand scheme of the universe, it would be a fairly accurate description. However, Earth is a planet teeming with vitality and is home to billions of plants and animals that share a common evolutionary track. How and why did we get here? What processes had to take place for this to happen? And where do we go from here? The fact is, no one has been able to come close to knowing exactly what led to the origins of life, and we may never know."

"text": "\"Science Astronomy Our Moon Q: Why Is the Moon's Cycle of Phases Longer Than Its Orbit? A: Quick Answer The moon completes one orbit around Earth with respect to the distant stars every 27.5 days. This constitutes a sidereal month. In contrast, the lunar cycle of 29.5 days is called a synodic month. It takes the moon an additional 2 days to begin a new lunar cycle because Earth is not stationary in space, but instead moves as it orbits the Sun.

But not all Muslim countries will observe Eid al-Fitr from Sunday. Saudi's HJC had called for sighting of the Eid moon on Saturday, which is the 29th day of Ramadan for Saudi Arabia and the 33 countries that started observing the fasting month on May 27 . If the moon was seen on Saturday, the first day of Eid al-Fitr would have been the next day, Sunday, June 25. Otherwise, Ramadan would carry on to 30 days. Official Eid announcements are usually made within two hours from sunset because when the moon is new, it rises and sets with the sun (or within an hour). Scientific prediction Astronomers calculated the new moon birth to be at 02:31 GMT and that in Muslim-majority countries the moon will set below the horizon within 19-26 minutes from sunset. Visibility of the moon crescent depends on the sighting location and on meteorological conditions. At midday on Saturday moon-sighters in Jordan posted a photo of the new moon taken with a telescope. On June 24, the moon was predicted visible to the naked eye in Peru, Ecuador, and islands in the Pacific Ocean."

If a person who did something that necessitates only qada (making up for a missed fast; observing another fast in lieu of the broken fast) on one day of Ramadan does the same thing purposely on another day of Ramadan, it also necessitates kaffarah (expiation that is made by freeing a slave or fasting for 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 needy people). 4.

Say you, ‘They are the signs of time for the people and pilgrimage (Hajj).' 2:189 (Sura Al-Baqarah, Verse 189)“And We made night and day as two signs, then put the signs of the night blotted and the sign of day shining, that you may seek grace of Allah and that you may know the numbering of years, and the reckoning. And We have explained well every thing separately.' 17:12 (Sura Bani-Israil, Verse 12)In both of these verses the timings and days are appointed based on the Moon. The counting of years is also dependent on the passing of nights and days."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality History, Purpose, and Practice in the Islamic Month of Ramadan Ramadan History, Purpose, and Traditions Share Flipboard Email Print Usman Ahmad / Eye Em / Getty Imagesby Huda Updated March 19, 2018Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It begins on the last full moon of the month and lasts 29 or 30 days, depending on the year. It typically falls between late May and late June on the Gregorian calendar used in the West. The holiday of Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the next lunar month. Ramadan History Ramadan celebrates the date in A. D. 610 when, according to Islamic tradition, the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. During the month, Muslims the world over are called upon to renew their spiritual commitment through daily fasting, prayer, and acts of charity. But Ramadan is much more than abstaining from food and drink. It is a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-discipline and self-sacrifice. Fasting Fasting during the month of Ramadan, called the sawm, is considered one of the five pillars of Islam that shape a Muslim's life. The Arabic word for fasting means \"\"to refrain,\"\" not only from food and drink but also from evil actions, thoughts, or words."

This celebration was called by the Muslims the small celebration in comparison with the big celebration with the sheep. Eid ul Fitr is also an occasion for all the members of the families to meet each others and prepare some traditional dishes. In Eid ul Fetr, there is a prayer called Eid prayer which is important because it’s Sunna Muakada. This prayer is performed by Muslims in Mosques and Musallat, before to make it, the imam gives the preach of Eid. By the end of Ramadan, every Muslim has to give alms to poor people, it’s called Zakat Al-Fitr, the amount given is different from a year to another and depends also of the country where do you live. This Zakat has to be done before Salat El Eid (The Eid Prayer). This year, the end of Ramadan 2018/1439 will be on the 15 June 2018 incha’Allah (More or less one day, depending of the country where do you live). Our web site will post the date of Eid ul Fitr 2018/1439 as soon as the responsible authorities of your country will announce it."

The patented program, offered by Eid Passport, Inc., provides a year-long access credential after participants pass a background screening process and are approved by the installation. Credentials are electronically scanned and verified by security personnel in a matter of a few seconds. “As the first Naval Installation in the Southeast Region to implement the RAPIDGate Program, Naval Station Mayport is leading the way to increased security and efficiency”Tweet this Naval Station Mayport’s previous access process required obtaining a day pass and going through a vehicle inspection - an often time consuming manual process. “ I view the installation of [the] RAPID Gate [Program] a win-win for Naval Station Mayport and our partner companies,” said Naval Station Mayport Security Officer, Warrant Officer Charles Mogle. “ It will standardize vendor/contractor access credentials throughout the Navy and provide our forces with electronic verification for enhanced security, while enabling deliveries through multiple Entry Control Points, decreasing the wait time for drivers, and ultimately saving the companies time and money. ”The program includes company enrollment, employee registration, employment status validation, identity authentication, background screening, biometric verification and entry authorization for vendors, suppliers, service providers and contractors that are not authorized to receive a Government-issued Common Access Card (CAC). Company enrollment for the RAPID Gate Program began July 6, 2010. Companies are being encouraged to enroll and register their employees immediately. Long-term passes will no longer be issued as of September 1, 2010."

Children under twelve and the sick do not have to fast. If giving birth during Ramadan women may abstain from fasting for two weeks but should make up this time later. People who are allowed to eat and drink during Ramadan may not do so in public. Opening times for government offices and for shops are restricted, with daytime activities being mostly avoided. During Ramadan no bills may be collected. This goes for private businesses as well state-owned ones. For example a telephone company can only bar a line on account of an unpaid bill when Ramadan is over. Life takes place at night. Then one meets with neighbours, friends and acquaintances for great feasts to which each brings a dish."

Friday is the 20 th anniversary of Employee Appreciation Day. What better time to offer a primer on the importance of bosses conveying to good employees that they are well regarded? What better person to offer such advice than Bob Nelson, who came up with this way for bosses to honor the people who report to them? He said showing such thankfulness shouldn't be limited to a one-day observance. \"\" This should be a daily thing,\"\" he said. \"\" Not every person every day, but every day a manager should do something for somebody to show appreciation. \"\" Making sure that people are appreciated should be sort of a no-brainer -- but few do this,\"\" Nelson said. \"\""

They think that they've found a better opportunity or their spouse has accepted a job out-of-state. They decide to stay home with children or find themselves providing long-term care for a parent. The reasons are endless for what causes an employee resignation. But, each employee resignation poses the employer with the same series of questions. How do you announce the employee's resignation?

Do Your Job First and foremost do your own job. Managing people isn’t an excuse to let them do the work whilst you look on. Of course, sometimes your job may involve being more strategic but your staff will respect you for doing what needs to be done and being willing to pitch in like everyone else at times. Many of us have had managers who use their role as an excuse to do less or attend more meetings. Get the balance right and earn respect from your staff.2.

Why it works!Its open enrollment season and the human resource departments are all busy trying to get all of their benefit booklets and enrollment forms printed up and e-mail blasts sent out to their employees reminding them that they have to attend a mandatory benefits meeting. Insurance brokers are busy trying to put their presentations together and make sure employees understand what is being offered to them. Finally the forms are given out and the instructions are given out to have them turned in by a certain date. At the end of the day no one is happy with the process. The HR people are not happy with the process because they have to chase down employees who are either unwilling or do not understand why they have to go through this process all over again. They are frustrated because employees just don't appreciate the benefits being offered to them by their employer. The employees are unhappy because they don't understand their insurance benefits; they don't understand the reason why the cost of those insurance benefits are going up year after year (despite the fact their employer is contributing 50% to the premium); and they don't feel as if they are appreciated as employees. The insurance brokers are unhappy because they are not getting the participation in the core benefits that they had hoped for and they see that they put in a lot of hard work to cultivate an account that yields a very small commission.

If you’ve ever felt confused about who the decorum for gratuities, you are not alone. From the bellhop to the maid to the concierge, hotels put forward a team effort to try to make guest experiences exceptional, but with dozens of brief interactions with different hotel staff members, it can be difficult to know when to reach for your wallet, and when a simple \"\"Thank you\"\" is enough.

"text": "\"Employee Recognition Programs4 Important benefits of employee recognition programs Employee recognition programs are an invaluable way to boost morale and motivation in any work environment. Employees appreciate being noticed for a job well done. When recognition programs are not in place, productivity can suffer. Benefits of recognizing and showing appreciation to staff include: Boosting motivation and dedication of the employees causes a chain reaction in the company. For instance, if an employee is recognized for their efforts on a project, other employees are more likely to work harder because they see that the company appreciates its employees and notices what is done. Increased employee satisfaction and less turn over for the company reinforces an employee's focus and sense of gratitude for hard work. By having incentives for employees you are not \"\"bribing\"\" staff to do their work but rather providing a reward of some kind for going the distance on a particular project. Unfortunately, many companies do not use employee recognition programs because they do not understand the benefits it can offer and the impact it has on the overall production as a company. Getting Creative to Motivate Employees It is important to be creative when it comes to employee recognition. It does not take a lot of money for you to simply recognize an employee who has done a good job or who has shown leadership skills."

"text": "The Nicene Creed — Origins and Development Posted on October 5, 2011 by Alte (In response to a suggestion from a commenter, I am going to be publishing a chapter-by-chapter review of a book called The Creed: What Christians Believe and Why It Matters . ) The word “creed” comes from credo or “I believe”. What do Christians believe? What is the unifying belief system of our universal Church? Our emphasis on orthodoxy over orthopraxy is, after all, our most unique theological aspect. Why do we need a creed at all? Can’t we each just read the Bible for ourselves, without the theological and political straitjacket of a uniform creed? Why did the Apostle’s Creed, and then the Nicene Creed, ever come into being, in the first place? In the beginning The Nicene Creed is essentially Christianity’s expansion of the Jewish Shema, “Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one.” So, the recitation of a creed was already common practice among the Jews, and Christians carried this into their new Church."

However, that is what is done in the United States every third Sunday in June. Father's Day is a special day for dads when they are pampered by their children, given gifts, and even surprised with breakfast in bed!There are many different stories as to the origins of Father's Day. Some of the possible scenarios telling the story of the first Father's Day are:1. It started in 1908 during a church service in West Virginia.2. Vancouver, Washington was where the first Father's Day celebration occurred.3. Harry Meek, president of the Lions' Club branch in Chicago, created the first Father's Day with his organization. It was celebrated in 1915 on the third Sunday of June, since that was a date very close to his birthday. Even though we don't know exactly when the first Father's Day was celebrated, we do know who promoted this holiday with a great passion."

"text": "\"BE \"\"BORN AGAIN:\"\"The three texts above deal on the issue of the three days dry fasting observed in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Now, how many people in the world have participated in the three days dry fasting periods done in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star? Very many people are asking why the whole of seventy—two hours should be spent on fasting. A lot of people pray that the dry fasting should not be observed often. Others even wish it should be stopped forthwith. Some would fast for the first twenty-four hours and complain that they are human beings and for that reason, they stop. Some would fast for two days and nights while a few endure to the end. AS recorded in Matthew 12:40 (see Supra), Our Lord Jesus Christ promised to remain in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. This is why members of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star observe the three days dry fasting. For these three days and nights, no water is drunk, no food is tasted, bathing and brushing of teeth are not also allowed."

Anything you said to pops or scribbled in crayon on the card you made for him was gonna be cool. All you needed to do was write “Best Dad” or “I luv yu mor than The Wiggles” or something and put it next to a drawing of what might have been you or a dog or your dad if you squinted and looked at it long enough. You were super adorable and you could ride the cuteness train all the way to ice cream town. While we’re sure you’re still precious in your own way, a “Happy Father’s Day!” alone isn’t going to do the trick, your still-mad Crayola skills notwithstanding. Here are some easy-to-use suggestions for great things to say or write to your dad on Father’s Day:1. “ Dad, thank you for all of your unconditional love, support and words of encouragement, even when I screw up royally. That’ll sure come in handy in college. ”2. “"

"text": "\"The Importance of Fathers Is Father's Day real? Posted Jun 23, 2011SHARETWEETEMAILMORE\"\"The fathers have eaten a sour grape and the children's teeth are set on edge.\"\" ( Jeremiah, Book 31, Verse 29)This quote from the Bible represented the power of the father as the primary authority of the family for many centuries. His word was unquestioned, his decision final, his influence dominant in all matters relating to family. What he was not seen as was a caretaker of the children — that responsibility rested with (or was vested in) the mother, or mother substitute. The world began to radically change with the social, economic and technical advances of the 20th century, and with those changes came a basic change in the structure and function of the family — with a consequent shift in the authority of the father. His influence was increasingly seen as minor, even negligible, and his importance was defined by how well he provided for the family. Another factor in the diminished role of the father was the then-new field of psychology. In fact, psychology became part of the problem. Research studies did not place much importance on the role of the father, and his influence on the development and growth of his child was reported as \"\"insignificant.\"\""

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 4:10On June 21, Americans will celebrate Father’s Day, a holiday that many other countries observe on different dates throughout the year. What some might not know is that the celebration has a religious history born out of tragedy — one that serves as a reminder to cherish the fathers in our lives. Grace Golden Clayton, a resident of Fairmont, West Virginia, was the first person on record to petition for Father’s Day. In December 1907, a mine explosion in a nearby town killed more than 360 men, many of them fathers. The tragedy left 1,000 children fatherless, which troubled Clayton. She asked the pastor at her local Methodist church to dedicate a day to honor fathers on July 5, 1908 — the Sunday closest to the birthday of her late father, who was a Methodist preacher. “This holiday was one etched in sadness as well as thankfulness,” said the Rev. Donald Meighen, the retired pastor of the Central United Methodist Church, which was known as Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, South, when the first remembrance was held there. In 1985, the state erected a historical marker declaring Fairmont the birthplace of Father’s Day. And every year, the church’s congregation hears the story of the holiday’s origins in a special Father’s Day service. ("

"text": "\"I`What Is A Dad\"\" is a wonderful poem by an anonymous writer eulogizing his/her father on the occasion of Father's Day. Father's Day » Father's Day Poems » What Is A Dad? What Is A Dad? Very rarely do we get an opportunity to thank our near and dear ones. Just like Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Friendship Day, Children's Day, and Teacher's Day, there is yet another great occasion that honors fathers. Father's Day, as it is known, is celebrated to pay a tribute to all the fathers of the world. In short, it is dedicated to fatherhood, the second most wonderful relationship after motherhood. While fathers do anything and everything for the betterment of their children, this day allows kids to pay their sincere admiration and respect towards their dad. It lets them express their hidden love and affection they have always felt for their father, which they usually do not reveal, unlike fathers who shower it by fulfilling their needs and demands. So, on the occasion of Father's Day, while you are buying flowers, greeting cards, and gifts for your father, do not forget to pen down a short and sweet poem explaining the meaning of a dad."

"text": "\"Getty Images Father's Day is coming on June 15, 2014, giving offspring everywhere a chance to celebrate the men who raise them, love them and teach them important lessons they'll remember for the rest of their lives. The occasion was first celebrated in the U. S. in 1908, when a church in West Virginia sponsored the country's first day to honour fathers, History.com reported. Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Wash. tried to organize a day for dads the following year that would be equivalent to Mother's Day (which began in 1908, and was made official in 1914). Dodd managed to organize enough interest in the day that the governor of Washington state proclaimed the country's first statewide Father's Day on July 19, 1910. U. S. President Woodrow Wilson supported the day but never made it official nationwide, according to the Library of Congress. President Calvin Coolidge suggested people celebrate it as a national event in 1924, calling it a day to \"\"establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations,\"\" but Father's Day wasn't made a permanent national holiday until Richard Nixon did so, in 1972. Father's Day is now celebrated in Canada on the third Sunday in June. As of the most recent statistics in 2011, there were 8,611,000 fathers in the Great White North, including biological, adoptive and stepfathers, according to Statistics Canada. The amount of time men have spent with their families has fluctuated over the years. In 1986, they spent an average of 360 minutes with their family every day."

It begins with pre- Holi shopping and ends with after-Holi party. Well, there’s also a very interesting Hindu mythology story that is assumed to mark the beginning of the celebration of Holi. It goes like this: Holi (pronunciation: /ˈhoʊliː/; Sanskrit: होली Holī) is a Hindu spring festival in India [4]and Nepal, also known as the festival of colours or the festival of sharing love. [ 5] [6]The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships, and is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest. [ 7] [8]It lasts for two days starting on the Purnima (Full Moon day) falling in the Bikram Sambat Hindu Calendar [9]month of Falgun, which falls somewhere between the end of February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar. The first day is known as Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi and the second as Rangwali Holi, Dhuleti, Dhulandi or Dhulivandan. [ 10]Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival which has become popular with non-Hindus in many parts of South Asia, as well as people of other communities outside Asia. [ 7]It is celebrated at the approach of the vernal equinox, [7]on the Phalguna Purnima (Full Moon). The festival date, which is determined by the Hindu calendar, varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar, typically coming in March, sometimes in February."

"text": "Kentucky State Office Building KY State Office Building The Kentucky State Office Building in Frankfort was built over a period of several years, from 1937 to 1940. Prior to its construction, the land it sits on was home to the original Kentucky State Prison. The first Kentucky State Penitentiary was built in 1798 and the following year a branch was built in Eddyville. By 1912, the Eddyville branch became the main penitentiary, while the facility in Frankfort was renamed the Kentucky State Reformatory. As the name suggests, the Reformatory was supposed to have started handling younger, less violent offenders, but due to overcrowding issues at all the facilities, it continued to house prisoners of all ages and levels. That overcrowding, in addition to severe flood damage in the mid-1930s, led to a major restructuring of Kentucky's penal system. A new reformatory was built at another location, and the heavily damaged, outdated building at Frankfort was torn down to make room for a new office complex. Original Kentucky State Penitentiary Those working in the office building today believe that the souls of the Kentucky State Penitentiary/Reformatory are still on the property...causing mischief throughout the building. Many employees refuse to work in the building after hours due to all the strange things experienced over the years. People have been touched."

But will it float, figuratively, that is? Will the organization behind the massive wooden structure – the same outfit that created the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky. – get the million visitors or more that are predicted to visit the Ark Encounter in the small burg of Williamstown in Grant County? And what will it do to – or for – that community in the coming months and years? The Enquirer interviewed dozens of officials, experts and officials from Answers in Genesis (AIG), which is building the $92 million ark, to get some answers. What is the Ark Encounter and when will it open? The Ark Encounter is a full-sized replica of Noah’s Ark, as described in the book of Genesis in the Bible. It is being built using the dimensions specified in cubits. Which could have been problematic given that more than 20 different versions of a cubit exist – though it was was originally the distance from a thumb to the elbow."

The Kentucky State Penitentiary is located in Eddyville. Eddyville, the seat of Lyon county, was settled around 1798 and named for the eddies in the nearby Cumberland River. It became the seat of Livingston County when it was formed in 1799, later the seat of Caldwell County in 1809, and finally the seat of Lyon County when it was formed in 1854. Thus, it holds the distinction of being the only city in Kentucky to have served as the county seat of three separate counties. The Eddyville post office opened in 1801. Throughout Kentucky, Eddyville is best known as a synonym for the Kentucky State Penitentiary, although the prison itself is actually 3 miles (5 km) south of the present town, on the shore of Lake Barkley in Old Eddyville on KY 730. Taking six years to build (1884–1890), the massive stone prison structure towers over Lake Barkley, and is sometimes called \"\"The Castle on the Cumberland.\"\""

( November 2009)On August 3, 1990, President of the United States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month, thereafter commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month. First sponsor of \"\"American Indian Heritage Month\"\" was through the American Indian Heritage Foundation by the founder Pale Moon Rose, of Cherokee-Seneca descent and an adopted Ojibwa, whose Indian name Win-yan-sa-han-wi \"\"Princess of the Pale Moon\"\" was given to her by Alfred Michael \"\"Chief\"\" Venne [1] [2]The Bill read in part that “the President has authorized and requested to call upon Federal, State and local Governments, groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities”. This was a landmark Bill honoring America’s Tribal people. This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States of America to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, and ways and concepts of life. This gives Native people the opportunity to express to their community, both city, county and state officials their concerns and solutions for building bridges of understanding and friendship in their local area."

A BRIEF HISTORYOFJOHN OG Mc INTOSHAND HIS FAMILY`````````DR. A. J. Mc INTOSH1898`````````Vincennes, Ind. A. V. CROTTS, BOOK AND JOB PRINTINGPREFACEThe following sketch has been written at such times as bad health and business cares would permit. The idea, of writing such a sketch, was first suggested by William Mc Intosh, of Stamper's Creek, Ind. Twenty years ago. An attempt was made, but owing to the difficulties encountered in obtaining reliable dates and other data, the matter was laid aside; and it is but recently, that the work has been resumed. For some years past, the writer has, when opportunity offered, jotted down such items pertaining to the history of our progenitors as was interesting to himself, and later on, he has entertained the thought that these notes might be equally interesting to those of their descendants who cared to read them. Traditions have been collected and compared, and dates have been obtained for all sources within reach of the writer, and what follows, is to the best of his knowledge and belief correct. He hereby tenders his sincere thanks to many of our relatives, for assistance and suggestions offered."

"text": "Business Day Cal Turner, 85; Founded Dollar General By DOUGLAS MARTIN NOV. 20, 2000Correction Appended Cal Turner Sr., who began a retailing empire based on the philosophy that no item should cost more than a dollar, died at his home in Scottsville, Ky., on Tuesday. He was 85. In 1955, the idea came to Mr. Turner that the success of major department stores' ''Dollar Day'' sales, when many items are priced at a dollar, could keep an entire store in business. He converted the Turner Department Store in Springfield, Ky., to the first Dollar General Store. No item cost more than $1. The idea grew into the Dollar General Corporation, which now operates more than 4,800 discount stores in 25 states. The company, whose stock became publicly traded in 1968, still keeps things simple, even as the purchasing power of a dollar dwindled: there are only 14 prices, most priced in even dollars, for the 4,500 items sold. '' I call it bottom-of-the barrel retailing,'' J. Gary Dennis, an analyst with J. C. Bradford & Company, a Nashville brokerage firm, said in an interview in 1992. ''"

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Geography3 Demographics4 Climate5 References6 External links History [ edit]Former Ohio governor Charles Anderson founded the town on land he purchased in 1866. Originally spelled Cuttawa and Kittawa, Kuttawa seems to have been the name of a Cherokee village near the site, whose meaning is a matter of dispute: it has been variously translated as \"\"beautiful\"\", \"\"city in the woods\"\", and \"\"great wilderness\"\". [ 2] The city was formally incorporated by the state assembly in 1872, [3] the same year it received its post office. [ 2]In the early 1960s, the Tennessee Valley Authority constructed a dam across the Cumberland River at Grand Rivers, forming Lake Barkley. Eddyville and Kuttawa were both moved from their original locations owing to the impounded lake. Geography [ edit]Kuttawa is located at 37°3′32″N 88°6′49″W (37.058964, -88.113643). [ 4]According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.6 square miles (6.7 km 2 ), of which 1.9 square miles (4.9 km 2) is land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km 2) (25.95%) is water."

The first half of the article deals with the visual iconography of superheroes and superhero design, (using Batman and Superman as the example) the second half is a brief overview of Superman and Batman's history of team ups and significant meetings. Anyhow for a brief history of the the World's Finest super team, read on...-----A Brief History of the World's Finest Superteam (and why they wear their underwear on the outside)Jonny Sorensen, BATFAN |\\__/| Loudmouth and Know It All Deep down, Clark is essentially a good person… and deep down, I’m not– Bruce Wayne/Batman Batman has been connected to Superman from the very beginning. Batman’s origins began with the loss of his parents while Superman’s origins began with the gain of his new adoptive parents. Superman too lost his birth parents, but he was a baby then and never truly knew them. Growing up with Ma and Pa Kent from Kansas, Superman was loved and adored. Batman too was loved by his parents Thomas and Martha Wayne. Somewhere between the ages of 8-10 years old (depending on who is restarting the DC universe this week) his parents were cruelly gunned down in an alleyway outside a theater. Bruce Wayne knows the pain of loss deeper than Clark can through direct experience. Alfred looked after Bruce after he lost his parents, so Bruce was never truly alone."

His maternal grandmother, Elena Lee Rush, was a great creative influence who taught him to sing, paint, and perform from a young age; he has said that \"\"she has taught me everything I know\"\". [ 5] Also, while in elementary school, the glam metal band Bon Jovi was instrumental in forming his love of music. [ 6]At the age of 15, Way was held at gunpoint. As he said in an April 2008 Rolling Stone interview, \"\"I got held up with a .357 Magnum, had a gun pointed to my head and put on the floor, execution-style.\"\""

"text": "Click to see the 100 Hot Comics 2018 Edition!All About CGC Comics All About CGC Comics Though comic book grading has been around for decades, it wasn't until 2000 that a new third-party grading service, CGC, burst onto the scene and revolutionized the comic book collecting industry. Though at times controversial, its proven grading system has become a gold standard for those looking to have their collection appraised. What is CGC? Why Should You Care? Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), launched in early 2000, is a comic book grading service that can help you determine whether a comic book you are considering for purchase is restored or conserved. It also guarantees a consistent grade for the comic, which makes it easier to resell. CGC is a subsidiary of Certified Collectibles Group, which provides grading services for coins and sports cards. Located in Florida, CGC, which claims to grade over 100,000 comic books annually, is unique among grading services because it doesn't allow its employees to commercially buy or sell comic books. This allows it to provide impartial and accurate valuations of comic books without the concern of conflicts of interest or fraud. How CGC Authentication Works CGC will grade your comic books for a fee; several pricing options are available—from $20 (with a 14-week turnaround timeframe) to a percentage of the book's value (same-day appraisal)."

"text": "Flickr/Mosman Library: The Hunger Games is one of the most popular book series of the past decade. By Dominic Ciolli February 14, 2014 3:03 p.m. CTPop culture is incredibly pervasive in our society, to the point that virtually everyone interacts with it numerous times a day even if they do not intend to. There are obvious and direct ways that we are exposed to pop culture — reading, watching TV or movies, going on the Internet, playing video games — but there are also more subtle ways. The way we think, speak, act, dress and dozens of other actions that people don’t often think about, demonstrate our exposure to pop culture. Pop culture exists in everybody’s mind, but some people don’t realize just how important of a role it plays in our lives. Flickr/Mosman Library: The Hunger Games is one of the most popular book series of the past decade. The simplest function, and the one most readily apparent to people, is to entertain us. Life is stressful. College students have to deal with classes, their personal lives, money issues and the lingering threat that graduation represents — entering the workforce and being left without a guiding structure. That’s why it’s so important that we can come home from a long day and consume pop culture."

Director Bryan Singer, returning to the director’s chair once again after setting franchise records with X-Men: Days of Future Past , has consistently provided updates via social media on casting and shared behind-the-scenes photos and concept art for the biggest X-Men film yet, and today, another intriguing photo was revealed. Let’s talk about the Summers family…Just a few weeks ago it was confirmed that Lucas Till would be reprising the role of Alex Summers for X-Men: Apocalypse after playing the part as one of Professor X’s original mutant heroes in X-Men: First Class . He returned for a small part last year in X-Men: Days of Future Past where the character (codenamed “Havok”) was enlisted as part of a mutant special ops team in Vietnam. With Tye Sheridan cast as a younger, teenage Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops (previously played by James Marsden), Apocalypse therefore marks the very first time the Summers family will be seen together on screen – even their parents will show up according to an Instagram photo by the director shared earlier today:bryanjaysinger Verified Follow Comment Save7,034 likesbryanjaysinger Parents of #Scott Summers #Cyclops and #Alex Summers #Havok watch the end of the world as they know it unfold on TV #XMEN #XMen Apocalypse #3ALITYTechnicaview all 255 comments34 months ago Instagram Advertising [x]It’s not so much what’s in the photo that’s worth noting but the revealing caption by director Bryan Singer. In the story, the world is watching as some terrible apocalyptic event is happening in 1983, and given the very public events of X-Men: Days of Future Past’s ’70s story, the world is fully aware of mutants a decade later. Recall, from producer Simon Kinberg two weeks ago describing how Apocalypse marks a changed universe:“From 1973 forward, the world knew about mutants. A mutant took a football stadium and dropped it on the White House. That’s not the history we were raised on."

I love it because I can get all the comics I want without having to leave my home. I hate it because the amount of money I’m paying for comic book subscriptions have reached an all-time high. But today Comixology announced a new service called Comixology Unlimited that promises to be the Spotify or Netflix for comics (but we’ve heard that claim before ). So what is this new digital comic book subscription service and why should or shouldn’t you get it? Find out the details, after the jump. Comixology Unlimited is offering a free 30-day trial, but after that it will cost you $5.99 a month to access over 100,000 comic books. But which books are included and which are not? If you’re looking for Marvel or DC comic book series you will be disappointed. However, Marvel offers their own Marvel Unlimited service which offers most of their comic book series on a six month delay."

Connare had already created child-oriented fonts for various applications, so when he saw a beta version of Microsoft Bob that used Times New Roman in the word balloons of cartoon characters, he felt that the result was a formal look inappropriate for a program intended to introduce younger users to computers. His decision was to create a new face based on the lettering style of comic books he had in his office, specifically The Dark Knight Returns (lettered by John Costanza) and Watchmen (lettered by Dave Gibbons ). [ 4]He completed the face too late for inclusion in MS Bob, but the programmers of Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, which also used cartoon guides and speech bubbles, began to use it. The speech bubbles eventually were phased out and replaced by actual sound, but Comic Sans stayed for the program’s pop-up windows and help sections."

One of the first American funny books came over 100 years ago! In 1896 a book called The Yellow Kid came out. It was the first time a comic strip was printed into a pulp magazine.

I had a local trapper come and he sat his conibear kill traps up for a few days and apparently the mink had traveled away at that time.. he returned after the few days and took down his traps.. lo and behold mink came back.. so far the mink has killed 1 adult rooster, 2 adult hens, a juvenile pullet and almost killed one other hen. Thankfully I saved her and she has since made a full recovery (minus the couple chunks missing from her neck that are healing awesomely!! and still has bald spots on both sides of neck and head). Since the chicken massacre, I have kept the coop closed up and 75% of my other chickens and roosters have migrated their way back to the goat barn where they have been locked up due to weather. Soooo during this time the mink returned and discovered my two koi ponds.. I had large (some in excess of 16\"\" butterfly koi and regular koi along with various shebunkins, comets and veil tail goldfish.. the ponds are rather large so most of the fish were very large also.. Mr. Mink has decimated the fish.. he has killed what looks to be all of my large koi ( around 10) and even alot of the other fish.. I am just heart broken over this.. it is bad enough that he killed off my chickens but to treat my ornamental ponds and fish as a buffet (have had these ponds for 5-6 years with no problems until the past month) makes me angry and extremely sad!"

It is usually called the \"\"Country Music Capital of the World\"\" or more often \"\"Music City, USA\"\"; however, in recent years, Nashville has done much to escape its country music image and become a regional center of culture and commerce. In fact, Dell, Nissan, GM Motors, Bridgestone, UBS Financial Services, HCA, Community Health Services, Lyft, Google, and Microsoft have all moved some operations to or near the city. The music is various; major rap artists and rock bands (Young Buck, Haystak, Kings of Leon, Paramore, and Ben Folds) claim Nashville as their hometown. Nashville is also the epicenter of the contemporary Christian music industry. Nashville is also notable for line dancing as well. Nashville is quickly becoming a fun and enjoyable American city, and is drawing the most tourists from out of the country out of any city in the United States. The New York Times gave Nashville the moniker of the \"\"it\"\" city, and the overall progressive and loving environment, along with the diverse $100 billion economy consisting of health care, music, tech and automotive industries, have made people want to visit and live alike in the music city. Nashville is an experience that many people across the United States and the World love and enjoy, and it is highly recommended to go and visit. Nashville has been the home of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry [98] since 1925."

The first South African to appear in a NFL regular season game, Anderson played in the league for 23 seasons with six teams. He spent the majority of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but is also known for his tenure with the Minnesota Vikings. As a member of the Vikings in 1998, Anderson became the first NFL kicker to have a perfect regular season, successfully making every field goal and point after touchdown during regular season play. However, Anderson's accomplishment was overshadowed by a missed field goal in that year's NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons, which is regarded as a primary factor in the Vikings' subsequent defeat. Anderson continued to play in the NFL for six more seasons before retiring.

S. states of Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. When first encountered by Europeans, they lived in the territory of present-day Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. They were historically closely allied and intermarried with the Alabama people, also members of the Creek Confederacy. Their languages are closely related and mutually intelligible. Under pressure from Anglo-American colonial settlement after 1763 and the French defeat in the Seven Years' War, they began to move west into Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, which were then under Spanish rule. They became settled in these areas by the early 19th century. Some of the Coushatta and Alabama people were removed west to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) in the 1830s under Indian Removal, together with other Muscogee (Creek) peoples.

Canoe access areas are located at all sites (excluding archeological areas) providing beginner and advanced paddlers opportunities to float this beautiful class II river. Bring your own canoe or kayak or call local commercial outfitters for trip information and boat rentals. Whether you enjoy the thrill of fly fishing or spin casting, the river hosts large and small mouth bass, bream, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish and other game fish. Remember all Tennessee state fishing and boating rules apply. For your hiking and wildlife viewing pleasure, enjoy the solitude and tranquility of several miles of easy to difficult trails meandering through wildflower meadows, lush forests, and along majestic bluffs. At the Narrows of the Harpeth three trails originate at a common trailhead near the park entrance. A two mile bluff overlook trail includes a steep ascent to a narrow bluff offering hikers a panoramic view of the Harpeth Valley. A half-mile trail along the backside of the limestone bluff leads to the site of Montgomery Bell's Pattison Forge where a small waterfall is all that remains of the iron forge operation. Another half-mile trail connects the canoe launch area to the canoe take-out parking area at the Harris Street Bridge Access Area."

"text": "Game wardens in Tennessee, also known as Wildlife Officers, work as part of the state Wildlife Resources Agency to ensure Tennessee’s natural treasures and those who harvest them are safe and acting within the laws. It is understandable that hunters would be tempted to break the law by failing to wear safety-colored clothing. What is less forgivable is when heavily armed hunters trespass on restricted military territory for hunting, such as sometimes occurs at Fort Campbell, where they may encounter live fire and unexploded mortar shells. Dealing with hunters that break the law, poachers, polluters, and intoxicated or unlicensed boaters is just some of what Tennessee’s game wardens deal with daily. Candidates who are interested in serving the wildlife and residents of the state through game warden jobs in Tennessee can start by reviewing the application process. Becoming a Fish and Game Warden with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Satisfy Job Requirements – Tennessee’s Wildlife Officers are some of the best and brightest public servants the state has to offer. Part of the explanation for this starts with the high bar the Wildlife Resources Agency sets for minimum game warden job requirements. Important among these is education. All game wardens must have a bachelor’s degree in one of the following subjects: Wildlife Management Fisheries Management Wildlife Biology20 semester hours in wildlife-related subjects plus one of the following: Biology Zoology Animal Sciences Agricultural Sciences Ecology Forestry For candidates considering federal game warden careers, the government personnel office gives a preference to those with a bachelor degree in a field related to Wildlife Management or Criminal Justice. Prospective applicants must also meet some other basic requirements: Willingness and ability to carry or use firearms Be US citizens at least 21 years old If previous military service, must have an honorable discharge Submitting an Application – The employing department for game wardens in the state is the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency."

"text": "Destination: Tennessee and the Caney Fork River By Troy Basso As I netted the final Caney Fork Rainbow Trout of the day, in near total darkness, I wondered if anyone realized what a positive impact the TVA has had on coldwater fishing in Tennessee. In 1933 President Roosevelt, as part of his New Deal initiative, signed a bill creating the Tennessee Valley Authority. The TVA was created to help fill the demand for hydroelectric power in the Tennessee Valley. Dams were built and thus rivers called “tailwaters or “tailraces” were formed. These rivers are supplied a steady flow of coldwater drawn from the bottoms of numerous lakes. The water flows through the hydroelectric generators and is discharged into the tailwaters, creating a prime habitat for both Rainbow and Brown Trout. This river, a tail water of Center Hill Lake, is currently managed by the TWRA and provides some of the finest trout fishing that Tennessee has to offer. Although most of the time these rivers look like gently rolling waters they can very quickly change to fast moving very dangerous watersheds. In order to fish the Caney Fork one has to first understand what happens when the TVA has the generators on. Once the generators come on they start forcing a large volume of water into the river."

However in 2016, this rapidly evolving city of 183,000 plus—home to the University of Tennessee —has more possibilities for outdoor adventures within its city limits than could ever be imagined. Last year the city crushed nation-wide competition to win a $100,000 grant from Bell Helmets which resulted in the construction of the Devil’s Racetrack, a wild and burly downhill gravity trail within the city limits that everyone won’t stop talking about. And with solid year-round work in land conservation and recreation promotion from local entities such as the Legacy Parks Foundation, Knoxville is fast becoming one of the hottest outdoor cities on the east coast. When you arrive: As soon as you pull into town be sure to go into the Visit Knoxville visitor center downtown (free parking) and pick up maps, information, merchandise, and more. This place and its staff are a wealth of knowledge for the trails and outdoor opportunities all over the city. If you show up to the center during the lunch hour Monday-Saturday, you will even catch a free bluegrass or Americana show courtesy of the WDVX Blue Plate special. Also be sure to go by and pay a visit to the Outdoor Knoxville Adventure Center. ( I mean really…how many cities can say they have their own adventure center?) Situated on Volunteer Landing in the heart of downtown along the shores of the Tennessee River, this operation supported by the Legacy Parks Foundation is another essential hub of information and resources."

You're not going to believe this but there's a National Grandparents Day. Frankly, no one in my family had ever heard of it. Pretty embarrassing for a guy who works every day at Grandparents.com. Here's the story. Back in 1970, Marian Mc Quade, a West Virginia housewife, came up with the idea of a day set aside to encourage families to visit their elderly relatives. With a firm resolve to make it happen, she began lobbying policymakers."

"text": "\"Why grandparents secretly think THEIR children are such poor parents By Chris Brooke for the Daily Mail Updated: 04:52 EDT, 1 September 201154View comments Children are ill-disciplined, bad-mannered, disrespectful and treated too leniently - according to their grandparents. Changing attitudes mean most parents no longer reprimand their offspring with the age-old methods of a smack or sending them to bed without dinner because they fear upsetting them. But their grandparents believe this is to the detriment of the children's manners and moral values, research has revealed. Disrespectful: Grandparents believe their grandchildren are treated too leniently by their own offspring, according to a new survey (picture posed by models)Instead of traditional punishments, modern parents tend to favour softer options, such as stopping their children from watching television or confiscating their mobile phones. As a result, two-thirds of grandparents believe their grandchildren are not as firmly disciplined as their own children were. Three in ten said their grandchildren lacked any discipline at all, and one in six grandparents think their offspring have failed as parents and don’t set clear behavioural boundaries. RELATED ARTICLESPrevious 1 Next Women in their 50s delay retiring to bankroll children facing financial squeeze Share this article A quarter said their children were too lenient as parents and 40 per cent said their younger family members would shy away from imposing discipline for fear of appearing ‘too harsh’. Jane Silk, from the Mature Times, which commissioned the study, said: ‘It’s clear that there is a perceived drop in standards of discipline over the last generation. Jane Silk, who commissioned the study, said the results showed it was clear that there is a perceived drop in discipline over the last generation‘The majority of grandparents think their children are far too lenient and do not set clear behavioural boundaries for their kids. ‘Their perception is that this has resulted in a lack of respect for authority and clear values."

She loves working at Fathingham's Candy Store and it was a fantastic job but at the end of the day Erika just wanted to get home to her family. As she walked the snowy pathways of Cherry Street, her long brown hair was flowing in the wind. She wrapped her tattered scarf a little tighter around her neck. God bless her grandmother for knitting it for her. She walked passed Willy Wonka's Factory and paused by the large gate and whispered to herself \"\"Whatever happened to you my dear Willy why don't you ever come out like you use to.

"text": "You are here: Home / Resources / Missouri / Missouri Child Custody Questions Missouri Child Custody Questions Missouri child custody attorneys provide answers to frequently asked questions with regards to Missouri child custody and Missouri custody laws. How is Missouri child custody decided? Who will get custody of our child? Missouri custody laws state the court is required to determine what is in the best interests of the children. There are two components to the custody of a child that the court must determine. The court must decide which parent will have, or how both parents will share, the decision-making rights, responsibilities, and authority relating to the health, education and welfare of the child. This is referred to as legal custody. The court must also decide where the child will have and how the parents will share the physical time with the child. This component is referred to as physical custody. Missouri custody laws provide that the court is required to consider all relevant factors including: The wishes of the child’s parents as to custody and the proposed parenting plan submitted by both parties;The needs of the child for a frequent, continuing and meaningful relationship with both parents and the ability and willingness of parents to actively perform their functions as mother and father for the needs of the child;The interaction and interrelationship of the child with parents, siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child’s best interests;Which parent is more likely to allow the child frequent, continuing and meaningful contact with the other parent;The child’s adjustment to the child’s home, school, and community;The mental and physical health of all individuals involved, including any history of abuse of any individuals involved;The intention of either parent to relocate the principal residence of the child; and The wishes of a child as to the child’s custodian."

"text": "Legal guardianship is a formal status under which grandparents assume a limited set of rights and responsibilities for their grandchildren. In some instances, parents voluntarily create guardianship agreements with the grandparents. In other cases, family courts establish guardianship arrangements on behalf of the grandchildren. The conditions and legal scope of guardianships vary by state, but in most instances, the grandparents must care for their grandchildren's daily needs and act in the children's best interests. Duration Some guardianship arrangements are permanent. Typically, grandparents are given permanent guardianship of their grandchildren only if the children's parents are deceased or if the court terminates their parental rights. In most states, the guardianship relationship ends when the grandchildren reach the age of majority. If the grandchildren have exceptional medical, emotional or financial needs, the court may extend the legal guardianship arrangement beyond age 18. Protect your loved ones. Start My Estate Plan Decision-Making Rights Generally, legal guardians have the ability to make decisions about their grandchildren's medical care, schooling and finances."

"text": "Holidays & Occasions Independence Day in Eastern European Countries By Barbara Rolek Updated 02/17/17Share Pin Email Fireworks. Yana Paskova / Getty Images In Eastern Europe, independence day usually commemorates the anniversary of a country’s autonomy, often after a split from another country or ceasing to be occupied by another country. National Days (there can be more than one in a country) are also celebrated and can recognize a nation’s independence or a patron saint’s or ruler’s birthday. Here is when these holidays are celebrated in Eastern Europe. Belarus - Independence Day is celebrated on July 3 to recognize the liberation of Minsk from German occupation by Soviet troops in 1944. Bosnia and Herzegovina - March 1 recognizes independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992, and Nov. 25 celebrates Republic Day of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bulgaria - Sept. 22 memorializes independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1908 and National Day on March 3 recognizes autonomy within the Ottoman Empire in 1878. Croatia - Independence Day is on Oct. 28 and independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 is celebrated on June 25 as Statehood Day. Czech Republic - Oct. 28 marks Czechoslovakia’s independence from Austria-Hungary in 1918, and Jan 1. Marks the birth of the Czech Republic after the split of Czechoslovakia, and June 25 is Statehood Day, when independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 was declared."

The Favorite – Grandfather and Grandson, by Georgios Jakobides (1890)Grandparents are the parents of a person's father or mother – paternal or maternal. Every sexually-reproducing creature who is not a genetic chimera has a maximum of four genetic grandparents, eight genetic great-grandparents, sixteen genetic great-great-grandparents, 32 genetic great-great-great-grandparents, 64 genetic great-great-great-great-grandparents, etc., although the numbers will be lower in cases of pedigree collapse. In the history of modern humanity, around 30,000 years ago, the number of modern humans who lived to be a grandparent increased. [ citation needed] It is not known for certain what spurred this increase in longevity, but it is generally believed that a key consequence of three generations being alive together was the preservation of information which could otherwise have been lost; an example of this important information might have been where to find water in times of drought. [ 1] [2]In cases where parents are unwilling or unable to provide adequate care for their children (e.g., death of the parents), grandparents often take on the role of primary caregivers."

[ 2]More generally, cousin is a type of familial relationship in which people with a known common ancestor are both two or more generations away from their most recent common ancestor.

"text": "\"Home > Family & Relationships > Grandparents' Rights Your Guide to Grandparent Rights Do you know your legal rights? By The Editors As a service to our readers, Grandparents.com has established the American Grandparents Association, TMdedicated to ensuring the best for grandparents and their families. One goal of Association is to become a key resource for grandparents who are physically removed from their grandchildren and would like to find a way to visit them. We are providing a guide to grandparent rights in all 50 states. Should you need specific legal advice on your own grandparent rights, consult a lawyer in your home state who specializes in family law and who may know of any recent changes in your state's laws. Families can splinter for a number of reasons: divorce, the death of a parent, drug or alcohol abuse, incarceration. When those situations occur, grandparents do have certain legal rights, and can seek visitation with grandchildren or even custody, but the relevant laws vary from state to state. Understanding your own basic rights can help ensure that your relationship with your grandchildren doesn't end even if the children's relationship with your adult child does. The State of Grandparent Rights Grandparents in every state in the United States have rights, in some circumstances, to be awarded custody of their grandchildren or to be awarded court-mandated visitation with their grandchildren. Grandparents' rights are not constitutional in nature.... Recognition of grandparents' rights by state legislatures is a fairly recent trend, and most of the statutes have been in effect for less than 35 years."

This, of course, is not news to those of us in the field of play therapy. What is news is that we need to improve the quality of play for everyone. Many parents and educators are no longer in touch with children’s need for play due to our accelerated, achievement-oriented culture. What are the benefits of play? In neighborhoods without a park or playground the incidence of childhood obesity increases 29% (Health Affairs, Ka BOOM! 2010). Physical health is improved. Psychological health is improved1.

It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, [9] the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. [ 10] [11]It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals may have had pagan roots; and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church. [ 1] [7] [12] [13] [14] [15] Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, separate from ancient festivals like Samhain. [ 1] [16] [17] [18] [19]Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising ), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films."

The new harvest year was considered to be on Nov. 1. The Gaelic Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. The night of October 31 was believed to be the day the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Ty Sawyer Related To: Haunted Travel's Best Halloween may be an American tradition, but its roots go way back. All the best superstitions of the Roman, Celtic, Catholic and European folk traditions, as well as good old American greed, have morphed into the modern-day celebration of Halloween. Second only to Christmas in spending, this superstition-rich amalgam of a holiday has become a celebration of our need to embrace our more base desires. See how countries around the world put their own spooky spin on Halloween, as well as honor spirits from beyond the grave. United States Chad Champoux Where Christmas celebrates good cheer, Halloween has become a night for sensual, sybaritic revelry in the United States. It’s a chance to mask our socially-accepted selves and explore the darker side of our nature in a fun, harmless manner. What started in Europe as a day to cast out evil spirits and keep them from ruining crops or starting other mayhem, has become a celebration of self-indulgence -- especially for children, who get to dress up and go from house to house demanding “trick or treat!” Big Halloween events in the US include: Guavaween, Tampa, FL; Festival of the Dead, Salem, MA; West Hollywood Halloween Carnival, West Hollywood, CA; and Fetish & Fantasy Halloween Ball, Las Vegas. France PATRICK BERNARDThe French are not typically fain to adopt any celebration with a bourgeois whiff to it, but in recent years, with the help of Coca-Cola, Mc Donald’s and Francophile ex-pats, Halloween is taking root in France."

"text": "Trick or Treat: What Message Does Your Church Send on Halloween? October 28, 2010 by Kevin D. Hendricks This year Halloween falls on a Sunday. It’s like a mash-up of good and evil, sure to stoke the anti-Halloween crowd into a pumpkin-smashing spree (unlike a few years ago when Christmas was on a Sunday, prompting an explosion of good cheer so intense churches had to cancel services ). It prompts the age-old question: How should your pastor dress up for Halloween? Or that other age-old question: How should Christians respond to Halloween? We’re here to remind you that how your church deals with Halloween is a marketing decision. Like everything else you do, it communicates something about your church. Are you deep and serious, not distracted by sweet distractions? Are you concerned with unveiling hidden evil, even if it means telling the kid down the street his Iron Man costume is evil? Do you want to have your cake and eat it too, hushing the holiday but passing out candy with a wink?"

Contents [ show]Background Halloween was born in an unknown town, and as a child was abandoned by his parents. For this a defenseless Halloween, then known as Pamp, was often bullied by the town's other children. In an attempt to escape, Pamp would often climb up trees, though he apparently had trouble getting down from them. At some point Pamp met another young boy from his town, Alan, who would then onwards come to rescue Pamp. Pamp would later go on to gain a penchant for dismembering live animals, of which Alan would discourage. One day, just after Alan had prevented another of the children's anti-Pamp crusades, Alan had shown Pamp a flame-producing Nature ÄRM, and promised to present it to Pamp once he awakened his magical powers. Pamp, however, refused to wait to get this power, and stole it from Alan at night. While escaping through the woods, Pamp began to kick a two-headed dog along his path, of which its pack responded with chase."

Americans will spend $6.9 billion in total on Halloween—a slight decrease from last year’s spending, which the National Retail Federation put at around $7.5 billion. More than 80% of consumers polled by the NRF said the economy is having an impact on their Halloween spending, with nearly 80% saying they will spend less overall this year as a direct result. The NRF predicts the average person will spend $74.34, compared with $77.52 last year. We’re in prime Halloween shopping time right now: 41% of consumers begin their Halloween shopping during the first two weeks of October, while 25% wait until the last two weeks of the month. More than one-third of shoppers began their shopping in September. Here’s a look at more numbers.$2.5 Billion The amoung spent on costumes for adults, children, and pets. Adult costumes are expected to outsell children’s costumes, with spending reaching $1.2 billion and $950 million, respectively. And pet owners will drop $350 million on costumes for their animals."

It’s possible that those behind the triple-locked doors are suffering through Samhainophobia (pronounced Sow-wen-ophobia - \"\"Samhain\"\" is an ancient celtic word). What is Samhainophobia? Easily described, Samhainophobia is a fear of Halloween. Simple references to Halloween rituals cause panic. Even the buildup of advertising and decorations prior to October 31 causes anxiety in those with Samhainophobia. And it gets worse as the date gets closer. Samhainophobia is also known as: The fear of Samhain A phobia of Halloween A phobia of Samhain Halloween fear Samhain fear Halloween phobia Samhain phobia A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something.

"text": "Editorials Celebrating the Many “Roseanne” Halloween Specialsby John Squires September 17, 2016Welcome to… THE TUNNEL OF TERROR. Few television shows in history were more ahead of their time than Roseanne, which premiered on ABC back in 1988. Never afraid to tackle hot button issues – many of which are as “hot button” today as they were back then – the series was quite unlike anything else on the small screen at the time, documenting the day-to-day lives of a fictional family that probably wasn’t all that different from your own. The Conners looked like us, they acted like us, and they faced the same struggles we all do, so it was only natural that they quickly became one of the most beloved television families of all time. And like us, they LOVED Halloween. The show’s creator, Roseanne Barr, is herself a big time fan of Halloween, and if it was up to her, the very first season of Roseanne would have explored the Conner family’s love of the holiday; it wasn’t, however, until the second season that Halloween episodes became an annual tradition for the show. To make a short story even shorter, ABC just wasn’t into the idea of celebrating Halloween, fearing that some viewers would be turned off by the satanic implications of the holiday. Of course, Roseanne went on to become a show that defied any and all political correctness, and by the time Season 2 came around, the network caved and allowed Barr to do what she wanted to do one year prior. Premiering on Halloween night of 1989, ‘BOO!’ was the very first Halloween episode of Roseanne, and many viewers to this day consider it to be the best Halloween special ever made."

"text": "Where Does “Halloween” Come From? Marko Ticak· Lifestyle, Writing · Updated on 26 October 2016Share on Linked In Share by email Jack-o’-lanterns, costumes, candy—the clues to the easiest game of associations ever. Yes, these are things we love about Halloween, a holiday we celebrate on the last day of the month of October. For many of us, Halloween is all about costume parties, carving pumpkins, watching horror movies, and trick-or-treating. In the Christian tradition, Halloween marks the beginning of a three-day observance known as Hallowtide, or the Hallowmass season—the time of the year when we celebrate those who are dead. The timing of the holiday coincides with an ancient Celtic holiday, Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. While some are eager to point out the pagan roots in the way Halloween is celebrated today, others are equally eager to defend it as a purely Christian holiday. The word “Halloween” has roots in the Christian tradition. Hallow is an archaic word that evolved from the Old English word halgian. When used as a verb, it meant “to sanctify.”"

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality Is Halloween Satanic? Share Flipboard Email Print Ashley Sandberg/Eye Em/Getty Imagesby Catherine Beyer Updated October 17, 2017A lot of controversy surrounds Halloween. While it seems like innocent fun to many people, some are concerned about its religious -- or rather, demonic -- affiliations. This begs many to ask the question about whether Halloween is Satanic or not. The truth is that Halloween is associated with Satanism only in certain circumstances and in very recent times. Historically, Halloween has nothing to do with Satanists for the primary fact that the formal Satanism religion was not even conceived until 1966. Historical Origins of Halloween Halloween is most directly related to the Catholic holiday of All Hallows Eve. This was a night of feasting prior to All Saints Day which celebrates all the saints who do not have a holiday set aside for them. Halloween has, however, picked up a variety of practices and beliefs most likely borrowed from folklore. Even the origins of those practices are often questionable, with evidence dating back only a couple hundred years."

Let’s check out what we know about blood moons. Blood Moons in Astronomy The term”Blood Moon” isn’t typically identified as an official astronomical term, although NASA references how the full moon or total lunar eclipse in October is called the “Blood Moon” or the “Hunter’s Moon. ”The name comes from hunters who tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. “ You can picture them: silent figures padding through the forest, the moon overhead, pale as a corpse, its cold light betraying the creatures of the wood,” according to NASA. This is also the first full moon after the Harvest Moon. The moon turns red on June 15, 2011, as seen from Nairobi, Kenya. ("

At the new Moon phase, the Moon is so close to the Sun in the sky that none of the side facing Earth is illuminated (position 1 in illustration). In other words, the Moon is between Earth and Sun. At first quarter, the half-lit Moon is highest in the sky at sunset, then sets about six hours later (3). At full Moon, the Moon is behind Earth in space with respect to the Sun. As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5). The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change."

"text": "Full Moon Names and Their Meanings Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. The tribes kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. There was some variation in the full Moon names, but in general, the same ones were current throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior. European settlers followed that custom and created some of their own names. Since the lunar month is only 29 days long on the average, the full Moon dates shift from year to year. Here is the Farmers Almanac’s list of the full Moon names.– Full Wolf Moon – January Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January’s full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule."

To the ancient Celts, this Sabbat was the start of the Fall harvest season, and coincided with the reaping of its first fruits. It is dedicated to the god of grain and the harvest, the fruits of the Sun’s light and energy, manifested and sacrificed into material form for the nourishment and sustenance of all. It also resonates with the Christian Eucharist, the Lord’s Supper, in which the faithful partake symbolically of the body and blood of Christ. The Lord, or the Solar Savior Deity, has His last meal with His disciples, with the poignant realization that He will not be around forever, due to the eternal transitory ebb and flow of life. General Interpretation: The Waning Gibbous phase brings with it a sense of one’s own mortality, and the impermanence of life, and also a sense of the urgency of now. Mature reflection on the purpose and meaning of life often causes the natives of this phase to undergo a spiritual transformation – to get out of the meaningless material rat race, and do something more spiritually satisfying and meaningful. And, once they have found it, to share what they have learned and realized with others. And so, Rudhyar called this phase the Disseminating Moon – like the Pagan god of grain and the harvest disseminating his seeds of spiritual nourishment in his own sacrifice so that we may live more abundantly. Even young people born under this phase can be incredibly lucid and mature, realizing that life means much more than just the fulfillment of material and egotistical appetites and ambitions, especially if they are highly evolved Old Souls."

"text": "\"Planting by the Moon Phases (from The Lunar Garden: Planting by the Moon Phases by E. A. Crawford)The Influence of the Moon Why the Moon Phase System Works The Waxing and Waning Moon The Waxing Moon The Waning Moon Flower, Leaf, Root and Seed Days Tips for Planting by the Moon The Influence of the Moon The moon's orbit around our planet affects the rising and falling tides, air currents on the earth's surface, and the occurrence of thunderstorms. The gravitational pull of both the sun and the moon affects us, but we feel the effects of the moon more acutely. While the moon has a much smaller mass, it is 390 times closer to us than the sun. Tides manifest the gravitational pull of the moon as it circles the earth. If you think of the water on the earth as a thin skin on the surface mass of the planet, it is easy to understand how the gravitational effects of the moon's orbit can pull the water mass gently from side to side. The tide cycle follows the same time cycle as the rising moon, occurring faithfully every twenty-four hours and fifty minutes. Tides rise in lakes and rivers as rhythmically as in oceans. The correlation of moon and tide may not seem to have anything to do with planting or gardening, but consider the fact that the water content of the earth responds to the same tide cycle as the massive bodies of water that cover our planet. Any gardener knows the importance of the soil's water content to a germinating seed. It makes sense to consider, when planting your garden, the pull of the moon and the moon's position in order to give seeds the best chance to germinate, grow and develop.... Rainfall, like the water content of the earth, is affected by the cycles of the moon as surely as the tides, which reach their highest point every 14.6 days or twice a month."

With sticks, shields, colors and canons of water, Holi celebration here is a must-have experience. If you are game for an epic Holi this year, here we are answering all questions starting with what, where, when, why and how. Why is Mathura Holi so hyped? Image Source It is in the suburbs of Mathura that the love life of Krishna and Radha sprouted and grew. Legends say that Krishna was jealous of her fairness and used to complain about his ‘dusky’ face to his mother. It was only to balance the skin tones of each other that he used to throw colors at Radha and paint her face with multiple colors. From his village Nandgaon, Krishna and his friends used to come to Barsana – Radha’s village to color Radha and her friends. The girls used to beat the guys, playfully though, with sticks."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality When Is Lent? Find the Dates of Lent in This and Other Years, and Links to Lenten FAQs Share Flipboard Email Print Godong/UIG/Getty Imagesby Scott P. Richert Updated July 11, 2017The dates of Lent, the season of penance and prayer before Easter, change every year. There are two common definitions of Lent, and the dates of the season will depend on which is used. Some Catholics define Lent as the period of the Lenten fast; others define Lent as a liturgical season. For most of the history of Christianity, the liturgical season of Lent was the same as the period of the Lenten fast, but since 1956, the liturgical season of Lent has ended before the Lenten fast does. Both, however, start on Ash Wednesday. The Lenten Fast The traditional Lenten fast is what most people mean when they use the word Lent. When we refer to the 40 days of Lent, we mean the period of the Lenten fast, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday. ( There are actually 46 days between Ash Wednesday and Holy Saturday, inclusive, but since fasting has never been allowed on Sundays, and there are six Sundays during Lent, that leaves us with 40 days .) These 40 days of fasting recall Christ's 40 days of fasting in the desert before beginning his public ministry, Moses ' 40 days of fasting on Mount Sinai before receiving the Ten Commandments, and Noah's 40 days in the ark."

"text": "What is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost? By Tim Greenwood The Word of God says that there are only two situations in which a man or woman cannot receive forgiveness. The first and most common is when they are in a state of unforgiveness. That is to say that they have been wronged (or sinned against) and they refuse to forgive the person, which we find in Mark 11:25. The second, which is actually quite a rare occurrence, is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. It is this second situation that I would like to address in this study. Mat. 12:31 says, “Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” But what does that mean? Too many Christians have been stopped right in their tracks after being convinced that they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit."

Anthony, who derived his surname from the city of Padua, in Italy, because he spent many years there in preaching the Gospel, was a native of Lisbon, in Portugal. He received, in holy baptism, the name of Ferdinand, and was very piously educated by his parents. No sooner had he become acquainted with the dangers of the world, than he, in the fifteenth year of his age, to be safe from temptation, went into the cloister of the regular Canons, which is not far from Lisbon, where he also made his religious vows. As, however, he was disturbed too much there by the visits of his friends, he went, with the permission of his superiors, to Coimbra, into the monastery of the Holy Cross. To this house came, one day, five friars of the Order of St. Francis, who were travelling to Africa to preach the Gospel to the Moors. They suffered martyrdom, however, soon after their arrival there, and their holy bodies were brought back to the monastery of the Holy Cross, at Coimbra, and solemnly interred in the church attached to it. Antony, hearing how fearlessly these martyrs had preached the true faith and had suffered for Christ's sake, conceived an intense desire to preach the Gospel to the heathen and to give his life for the word of God. Hence, he determined to enter the Order of St. Francis, that he might have an opportunity to gratify the wishes of his heart. A fter much hardship, he was at length, when 20 years of age, received into the Order, and after his novitiate, he obtained permission to sail for Africa and preach the Gospel to the Saracens."

"text": "Spiritual gifts are not innate, natural talents, like an ear for music or the ability to draw, but rather they are empowerments that the Holy Spirit gives to a believer to minister to the body in ways that were not possible by mere natural effort apart from the Holy Spirit. In the ministry of the apostles in the book of Acts, we see that they performed miracles, healed people, preached, and spoke in tongues, which they had not been able to do apart from Christ. Spiritual gifts are empowerments for building up the church and extending the Kingdom of God. In 1 Corinthians 14, the Apostle Paul instructs this congregation on the function of spiritual gifts. He repeats several times that they are to strengthen or build up the church. But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement, and comfort ( 1 Corinthians 14:3 ).… try to excel in gifts that build up the church ( 1 Corinthians 14:12 ).… All of these things must be done for the strengthening of the church ( 1 Corinthians 14:26 ). Of course, it must also be noted that Paul suggests that spiritual gifts can have a witnessing function to non-believers. But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare."

The Trinity God, the Holy Spirit God, the Holy Spiritby Dr. Mark Bird on October 1, 2008; last featured May 4, 2015PDF Download Share: Abstract The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force. The Bible teaches that He is active in our lives, a distinct person, and fully God. Today is May the 4th, a day on which many people greet each other by saying “May the fourth be with you” as a clever play on words to the popular movie quote, “May the force be with you,” from Disney’s Star Wars movies. But unlike the impersonal force represented in Star Wars, the Holy Spirit is God Himself, who lives inside of and educates, strengthens, enlightens, and encourages Christians. Prepare to learn far more about God and the nature of Jesus than you thought was possible, and find the answers to your own life's questions. Examine fundamental assumptions about God, human nature, origins, morality, and faith in these revealing books. My brother Dave was the area supervisor of several gas stations. Every day he visited each of his stores. One morning he left early and started for the farthest store on his route."

"text": "What is the Sacred Paschal Triduum? March 29, 2012The Pastor's Page The Sacred Paschal Triduum is the three most solemn days of the liturgical year; Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil. These most holy days celebrate the Paschal Mystery, first, the passion, suffering, and death of the Lord Jesus, followed by his resurrection, the triumph of the holy cross, and Christ’s decisive victory over sin and death. The Triduum is a single feast, the Paschal Mystery, celebrated over three days, and they are the three holiest days of the entire liturgical year. It is ironic, however, that feasts like the Assumption on August 15, All Saints Day on November 1, and the Immaculate Conception on December 8, are holy days of obligation while the three days of the Triduum are not. There is no Church law that requires attendance for the Triduum, but good laws only make compulsory what should be done anyway. For example, God gave the Third Commandment, “Keep holy the Sabbath day” (Ex 20:8), which serves as the basis for the Sunday Mass obligation. We should want to go to Mass every Sunday. It is only right to give thanks for the many blessings that we receive over the course of the week, and if we do not nourish our faith regularly, minimally at least once a week, with God’s holy Word and Holy Communion, it is likely that we will become spiritually malnourished and weaker in our faith. If there was no law, a devout disciple of Jesus would want to go to Mass every Sunday anyway because it is the right thing to do, but because so many are lax with their faith and fail to do what should be presumed, a law was established to make mandatory what Christians should eagerly and gladly do on their own."

Luke 23:50-24:3 describes this event and tells us that the next day, Saturday, was the Sabbath. “ And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor; and he was a good man, and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. And the women also, that came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."

"text": "Hallowed Be Thy Nameby Ron Julian Sometimes we can go for years thinking that we understand a passage in the Bible and then discover that we were mistaken. For me, one of those verses was the opening of the well-known Lord’s Prayer: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. I knew that I had questions about some sections of this prayer, but one part that seemed obvious to me was “hallowed be Thy name.”"

"text": "What is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost? By Tim Greenwood The Word of God says that there are only two situations in which a man or woman cannot receive forgiveness. The first and most common is when they are in a state of unforgiveness. That is to say that they have been wronged (or sinned against) and they refuse to forgive the person, which we find in Mark 11:25. The second, which is actually quite a rare occurrence, is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. It is this second situation that I would like to address in this study. Mat. 12:31 says, “Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.” But what does that mean? Too many Christians have been stopped right in their tracks after being convinced that they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit."

That certainly was a special and exciting day. But the events of that week passed quickly and the crowd changed from shouting Hosanna to shouting to crucify Jesus by Friday. In our study of John, we are studying the Upper Room Discourse which Jesus gave to His disciples just prior to His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus was celebrating Passover with His disciples and during the course of the meal He had already done many things. He had washed their feet and given them a very practical example of the humble service that His followers were to have to one another. Judas had been revealed as the betrayer (at least to John) and had left to do his dastardly deed. He had instituted the ordinance of Communion by changing the meaning of some of the elements in the Passover meal to represent Himself and the sacrifice He was about to make in order to free them from the bondage of their sins. The disciples were troubled by the thought of Jesus going away from them, but Jesus had already told them many things to comfort them. He promised them that He would be preparing a place for them in His Father’s house and would return again for them that they might ever be with Him (14:1-4)."

Prince Feb 24, 2015 at 7:47am (Netflix)UPDATE 2/27/15 @ 3 AM EST: House of Cards season 3 is now available on Netflix. As with any Netflix original series, House of Cards will be ripe for binge-watching because all 13 episodes will come out at once on Friday, February 27, 2015. But while Netflix has announced the date, as per usual, they are pretty mum about the time the episodes will post on Netflix for people to begin to watch. But luckily we have the past to draw on for the present. Traditionally in the House of Cards series, episodes become available around 3 AM EST on the release date. UPDATE 2/26/15 @ 11:22 AM EST: However, German news company Sky Serien tweeted this this morning:@y_anniks Es freut mich, dass Du dem so sehr entgegen siehst. :) Parallel mit dem US-Start, also ca. 12 Uhr mittags. Gruß, Thomas— Sky Serien (@Sky Serien) February 26, 2015It translates to: Parallel with the US launch, so about 12 clock noon. Regards, Thomas12 o’clock noon Germany local time would be 6 AM EST in the U. S. However, Netflix has purposely announced the wrong release time in the past to ease the burden on their servers."

Photograph: Paul Morigi/Getty Images For Netflix House of Cards star Kevin Spacey has said turning on the news makes him think the political thriller “doesn’t go far enough” in reflecting the real-life race for the White House. Spacey, who plays devious politician Frank Underwood in the Netflix series, said that sometimes after a day’s filming he “will go to my hotel room and wonder ‘have we gone too far ... have we crossed the Rubicon” by creating “something unbelievable ... then I turn on the TV and watch the news ... then I think we haven’t gone far enough. ”When asked what he thought of the candidates for the forthcoming US presidential elections, compared with Underwood, Spacey quipped: “We just need to remember he’s fictional character and that some of the candidates running appear to be fictional too. ”Netflix's House of Cards to return for fifth season – but without its creator Read more Spacey said “the parallel universe”, whereby an election is taking place in House of Cards at the same time as the one in real life, was “always intended” and has “been very interesting for audiences everywhere but US audiences in particular”. He also said some politicians tell him House of Cards is very cynical, but others say it is “closer to the truth” than many would like to admit. Speaking at a presentation of Netflix’s forthcoming shows in Paris, Spacey said the departure of the US show’s creator and showrunner, Beau Willimon, was sad, but the screenwriter was “very tired”. “He’s been working non-stop since it began,” added the actor. “ I’ll miss him [Beau] being there every day, but the writers’ room is the same writers as in season four – nothing’s changed in terms of the quality of work we’re doing. ”Spacey said when Netflix first commissioned House of Cards, he was impressed by its commitment to “taking the long view” and commissioning the show without a pilot."

C.-native opposite star Kevin Spacey, whose steely eyed Francis remains ever-focused on cementing the vice presidential post, no matter the cost. Parker appears early in the Season 2 premiere, establishing right away that her character Jacqueline Sharp cannot easily be manipulated. “She’s tough and she’s smart and she’s a soldier,” says Parker, wary of revealing too much about the storyline. “She’s ambitious and she’s also principled, as we find out as the season progresses. ”The sophomore run launches Feb. 14 with virtually no time lost following the Season 1 finale."

From Andy Holtzman to Old Vic claims The 58-year-old is one of Hollywood's most famous actors but is now facing a wave of criticism over sex allegations and his response to them By Richard Wheatstone25th January 2018, 8:01 pm Updated: 25th January 2018, 8:04 pm KEVIN Spacey was one of Hollywood's most decorated actors - known for roles in acclaimed films such as The Usual Suspects and American Beauty as well as the Netflix series, House of Cards. But following allegations he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy - claims which prompted him to publicly come out as gay for the first time - he is now facing a wave of criticism for his alleged behaviour and the timing of his announcement. PA: Press Association Kevin Spacey was one of Hollywood's most celebrated actors What are the allegations against Kevin Spacey? Anthony Rapp Actor Anthony Rapp, best known for his role in Star Trek: Discovery, gave an interview to Buzzfeed in which he alleged Kevin Spacey made sexual advances to him when he was a 14-year-old boy. Spacey, then aged 26, is alleged to have invited Rapp to his New York apartment for a party before picking him up and placing him on his bed when the party had finished. Rapp, now 46, claims Spacey then climbed on top of him and made sexual advances before he managed to \"\"wriggle free\"\". Tony Montana Tony Montana, a filmmaker and director, said Kevin Spacey groped him in a Los Angeles pub in 2003. Montana claimed Spacey grabbed him by the crotch at The Coronet Pub in West Hollywood while he was ordering a drink. He told online gossip website Radar: “I went up to order a drink and Kevin came up to me and put his arm around me."

"text": "\"Television Netflix Is Raising Prices, Here's What Is Happening By Jessica Rawden2 years ago This past week, Netflix revealed the plan for its next phase in taking over the world. Just kidding, but Netflix CEO Reed Hastings did reveal that the company will unveil higher-priced plans as it moves forward. In an investor meeting, Hastings said that the Netflix pricing changes will come on slowly, but are definitely coming. We want to take it very slow. Over the next decade I think we’ll be able to add more content and have more value and then price that appropriately. Netflix is coming off of a super strong quarter. The company now has more than 65 million subscriptions worldwide, and that number is growing every day. However, The Guardian reports that Netflix is still currently shelling out 4.6 times its actual net revenue acquiring content for users from other production companies. Obviously, Netflix is still a growing company, but eventually its investors are going to want to make money, and that’s where the subscription increases will come in. Yes, they’ll be coming over the next decade, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see the first price increase come sooner rather than later."

"text": "May 6, 2015Netflix: Most Watched Shows TVLeigh Egan Although Netflix has been hesitant about handing out its numbers over for the most-watched television shows, recent data gathered from thousands of Netflix subscribers shed light on which shows are ranking the highest. Variety reports that 2,500 Netflix subscribers were included in the research, performed via Luth Research and a third party tool, ZQ Intelligence. Even though that’s only a small fraction of Netflix subscribers, the numbers indicate that certain shows are ranking much higher than others. The following findings only include subscribers who view shows through tablets, computers, or cellphones. Those who watch Netflix shows on televisions are not included. House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey, is one of the big winners as far as viewership, with more than 6.5 percent of Netflix subscribers viewing the show within the first 30 days of its premiere on February 27. The show continued its growth throughout all three seasons, making it the most-viewed show on Netflix this year. In fact, during its third season, House of Cards was viewed more than any other original show on Netflix. However, on its first day of release, Daredevil was watched more than any other shows’ first-released episodes on Netflix. Around 10.7 percent of all subscribers have watched at least one episode of Daredevil, which indicates more than four million viewers watched the first episode within the first week of release."

Stephen Chernin/Reuters Yesterday, Netflix took out $400 million in new debt to begin expanding in Europe and investing in more original series. Both of these factors are crucial for Netflix's continued evolution. Content costs can be so high they derail otherwise reasonable web TV projects. Intel abandoned its experiment On Cue after failing to make headway in content acquisition, and ended up selling the unit to Verizon for $200 million. Apple has been rumored to have a TV in the works for a while now. But there are rumors it is now delayed to 2015 because content deals take so long. A recent New York Times profile of \"\"House Of Cards\"\" show-runner Beau Willimon shows how Netflix believes it has unlocked this puzzle. The story explains that Netflix had two big flaws in its early business model. Content was expensive, and the best syndicated TV shows kept getting snapped up by cable channels: Around three years ago, Netflix realized it had a problem: It was paying large sums to license other people's content — TV shows and movies produced by other companies — in order to then show them to you, the Netflix subscriber, at home."

By Kevin Yeoman03.11.201612 Comments28 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Advertising [x] [This is a review of House of Cards season 4. There will be SPOILERS. ]– More and more, it feels as though the job of House of Cards isn’t to tell the story of Frank and Claire Underwood and the underhanded lengths they’ll go to obtain and hang on to power. Instead, Netflix’s flagship series has largely concerned itself with being a model case for the supposed benefits of the streaming giant’s preferred method of TV viewing – i.e., the binge-watch. While the series has admirably shifted from puerile political thriller eager to convince the world of its prestige-worthiness to puerile political thriller that fully embraces its trashy cartoonishness, House of Cards has changed in other ways, too. Most notably, the show has seemingly thrown the idea of a typical season-long storyline out the window in favor of a series of sort-of cohesive rapid-fire moments – bumps in the road that threaten to undo everything Frank has worked so for over the last few years – that fail to bring with them any real sense of consequence or closure. These moments don’t offer much in the way of lasting significance because that’s not what the show’s interested having them do; it just wants these trifling problems or sordid instances to act as the vehicle that shuttles the viewer through one episode and on into the next. Case in point: the final moments of season 4 are unconcerned with offering any sense of closure for the previous 13 hours of… stuff that happened. Instead, those closing moments put all their energy into the build-up to more; the question of what comes next firmly puts the notion of an ending in the backseat."

"text": "Netflix Original Programming: A New Way to Watch (and Create) TVby Rachel Hamsmith - 31 Commentsin Branding, Customer Service Early last year, we talked about Netflix’s announcement that it will now be distributing original content through its streaming service. At the time, they were preparing House of Cards, produced by David Fincher and starring Kevin Spacey, as its first foray into original programming. But plans changed, and on February 6 they debuted Lillyhammer, an original series about a mobster informant relocated under witness protection to Norway. All eight episodes of the first season are currently streaming on Netflix. House of Cards is still in the works, as are at least three other shows: Orange Is the New Black, Hemlock Grove, and new episodes of Arrested Development. In short, this is no one-time deal—Netflix is fully entering the world of content development. So what, then, does Netflix original programming mean for creators and consumers? No pressure to maintain ratings or attract advertisers. Netflix has so far declined to provide ratings for Lillyhammer, explaining that they don’t have advertisers to appease and that ratings are not especially meaningful to them. While some viewers will watch the show now, the company expects many will discover it years down the road, in the same way someone might binge on past seasons of The Office or Doctor Who because they only just found the show through Netflix."

House of Cards binge-viewing gives insight into famously secretive streaming service's viewing figures -Emma Daly investigates the Vo D goldrush, and the future of television viewing habits... By Emma Daly Thursday, 27th February 2014 at 2:44 pm Netflix doesn’t share its viewing figures. In fact, it seems to be one of the closest guarded secrets in the business. And, it doesn’t have to. Netflix relies on subscribers paying a monthly subscription, not the budgets of advertisers impressed by big numbers. So while we know Netflix has more than 44 million subscribers in 41 countries (33 million in the US, 11 million non-US), we don’t know whether 10 or 10,000,000 people are watching specific movies and shows available on its platform. House of Cards made headlines with its Valentine’s Day drop of season two earlier this month. But how many actually watched it? Sure the UK has more than 1.5 million subscribers according to recent estimates, but what percentage of them are Frank Underwood fans? It has seemed at times like an unanswerable question, and one Netflix hoped to keep that way."

"text": "\"‘House Of Cards’ Season 3 Premiere: When Will Netflix Series Return? 2015 Release Date Reportedly Delayed Due To Maryland Tax Controversy By Megan Schaefer On 02/24/14 AT 10:37 AMAfter binge watching season 2 of the Netflix original series “House of Cards,” fans of the politic thriller are anxiously counting down the days until Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his equally conniving wife Claire (Robin Wright) make their small screen debut for yet another drama-filled season. But according to reports, it looks like admirers of the BBC adaptation will have to wait longer than they initially expected. Originally, the show’s creator Beau Willimon informed fans via Twitter that the upcoming season was already in the works. Tweeting a photo of a packed writer’s room, Willimon’s assured viewers that only 800 more pages were needed to complete the third season of the Emmy-nominated show. With writers already concocting the wittiest of lines for “Ho C” characters, Willimon admitted he had every intention to start shooting season 3 in early spring. That meant another February release date was to be anticipated. But just like the plot of “House of Cards,” the drama pushed our naive hearts right onto a subway track when they retracted their statement, alerting fans that the premiere of season 3 would be pushed back due to a tax tussle with Maryland. According to reports, “House of Cards” is holding off on the production of its series until mid-June in hopes that Maryland will offer the Golden Globe-nominated series a lucrative tax-break deal. “Ho C” has been filming in Baltimore for the past two seasons, but it wasn’t until now that Gov. Martin O’Malley started rethinking the heightened tax incentives it was giving the Netflix show."

"text": "\"From idealistic Howard Dean staffer to lead writer of a show likened to a political version of \"\"The Wire,\"\" the 35-year-old tells THR how he's built a career on revealing Washington's seedier side. House of Cards, Netflix's glossy look at the bloodsport of national politics, has become a minor sensation in the nation’s capital -- a pulpy blend of sex, lies and bureaucracy. It's a treatise on power and its perversion, so who, exactly, is running the show? Meet Beau Willimon, a scruffy trained playwright and former campaign staffer from St. Louis who looks even younger than his 35 years. House of Cards, his adaptation of the acclaimed British miniseries, is a 13-episode slither through the dirty trenches of government that focuses on Frank Underwood ( Kevin Spacey ), a scheming Democratic congressman from South Carolina. He is an antihero, combining Machiavelli’s ruthlessness and Bill Clinton ’s Southern charm, sweet-talking enemies and allies alike before double-crossing and stabbing them in the back to get his way. TV Review: 'House of Cards' on Netflix Underwood represents the centrist, corporate-friendly wing of the party, taking on teachers unions and environmentalists -- the sort of policies that would have been anathema to Willimon in his early days in politics. The creator, showrunner and lead writer has seen the power dynamics and media shifts up close, registering endless political minutiae during a rapid ascent that began at the very bottom: canvassing the city streets. Willimon, then in his 20s, became one of many young people to devote themselves to Vermont Gov. Howard Dean ’s Beltway-assaulting run for the 2004 Democratic nomination for president. The outspoken governor skyrocketed to the top of the early polls by harnessing the anti-war anger of the progressive blogosphere, as the forward-looking Dean team -- run in part by Willimon's college best friend, Jay Carson -- become the first major campaign to utilize the Internet for mass fundraising and volunteer organizing.\"\" ["

"text": "\"A word heard often in the world of media and especially cable news is agenda. Newsbusters, for example, makes a living out of pointing out daily examples of a liberal agenda at MSNBC and (to a lesser extent) CNN. Media Matters serves up the same meal to its readers in regards to Fox and a conservative agenda, and even goes so far to move into activist territory (with no success) with petitions like this one. The existence of partisan media outlets and playing to the crowd to help validate the steadfast beliefs of its readers on a daily basis isn’t exactly breaking news. But here’s a growing trend worth noting: The accusations of bias in the world of entertainment where it doesn’t exist. We saw that recently with Selma and American Sniper leading up to the Oscar’s, with the former being somehow “snubbed” despite being nominated for Best Picture (because the Academy is old and white and racist and stuff… 12 Years a Slave winning the previous year notwithstanding) and the latter being snubbed by not winning the award outright because of Hollywood not embracing the military as much as it should (despite films like Hurt Locker winning in the not-so-distant past and nominations to Saving Private Ryan (correction) and Zero Dark Thirty ). As we’ve seen and continue to see, almost all TV shows about Washington feature noble Democrats caring more and being deeper thinkers than their eeeeeviiil Republican counterparts. The West Wing was the best example (exceptionally articulate liberal geniuses winning policy battles over myopic, crusty conservatives). In the present, Scandal makes no apologies for being anti-GOP, nor did The Newsroom (Sorkin again). Madam Secretary might as well change Tea Leoni ‘s character’s name to Hillary."

What you may not know is that Thursday, July 4, 1776 was actually pretty uneventful. As the Washington Post reported in 2014, by some measures America’s true Independence Day should be celebrated on either May 12 or May 15. That was what John Adams, who would later go on to serve as the second president of the United States, believed, according to historian Joseph J. Ellis. My Great, Great, Great Grandfather John Adams. # 4th Of Julypic.twitter.com/NVRH8zg Yc E— sharon (@sharon51251927) July 4, 2016It was on May 12 that the Continental Congress approved a resolution, which would be dated May 15, that the thirteen colonies should abolish their colonial constitutions and establish their own constitutions. Adams would go on to later declare the later adoption of the formal, written Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, a “ceremonial afterthought,” according to Ellis. Nevertheless, Adams’ fondness for the May 12/15, 1776, resolution was relegated to the footnotes of American history."

I was very much a part of that– John Perkins India was granted a dominion status on August 15, 1947. According to Balfour Declaration of 1926 ‘dominions’ is defined as autonomous communities within the British Empire but united by a common allegiance to the Crown. So, by the definition, India was an autonomous community “within the British Empire”. So, why do we celebrate August 15th as our Independence Day? Many people in India still believe that a Dominion status is equivalent to an absolute independent status. All those who so believe should go back to elementary school to re-learn their English. According to the Oxford dictionary, a ‘dominion’ is a country of the British Commonwealth having its own government. This same mistaken belief was also held by all Congress leaders in those days who openly proclaimed that there was no difference between dominion status and independence and accepted the dominion status in their all party conference of November 1929."

As much as high school seemed to suck from a student's perspective, it really did prepare them well. Because the teachers pushed them, and helped them with the process since kindergarten, college really wasn't much of a step up and so graduates are better prepared for classes.

"text": "July 4: What’s Open and What’s Closed on Independence Day 2017By Jeffrey Strain, July 2nd, 2014 | 5 Comments »This article has been updated for July 4, 2017Independence Day is just around the corner. For those who are planning to spend some time away from the backyard barbecue, it’s good to know what businesses are and aren’t open on Indepedence Day. With July 4 landing on a Tuesday this year, it can get a bit confusing as to what will still be open, and what will be closed for the day. As a general rule, retailers will be open (with exceptions) and government offices will be closed for the day. Below you’ll find what is and isn’t open for the Fourth of July in 2017, but it’s always a good idea to confirm with anyplace you plan to go to verify that they will be open, as there can be exceptions. Major Retail Stores Most large retail stores are open. Most retailers will be open on July 4, and many of them will be holding special sales over the Fourth of July weekend. This includes stores like Target, Walmart and Home Depot ( here’s a larger list ). A major exception will be Costco, which won’t open its doors on Independence Day. For those of you planning to shop all the sales, keep in mind that a deal isn’t a deal no matter what the price is, if it’s something you wouldn’t have purchased for full price."

( AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)On July Fourth, Americans eat hot dogs and apple pie, watch fireworks, and go swimming. ADVERTISEMENTBut what are we really celebrating? Standard answers to this question are that we are celebrating our independence or the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Well, yes and no. Here are 10 things you might not know about our America's Independence Day.1.) Independence Was Not Declared on July Fourth: The second Continental Congress actually voted for independence on July 2. In fact, John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, predicting that future generations would celebrate July 2 as Independence Day, saying, \"\"The second day of July, 1776, will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illumination, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.\"\" July 4, 1776 is significant because that is the day that Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence document, but contrary to what many people believe it was not signed on the July 4."

The Arab countries did not send troops to help the people that are today known as \"\"Palestinians\"\" but rather they sent troops to drive the Jews into the sea. Most of the \"\"Palestinian Arabs\"\" fled to avoid the fighting. Remember, in 1948 they were not referred to as \"\"Palestinians\"\". This name was was created by the Soviet disinformation masters in 1964 when they created the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The term \"\"Palestinian People\"\" as a description of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow. The Charter was affirmed by the first 422 members of the Palestinian National Council, handpicked by the KGB. This term was formally used by newspapers around the world after 1967. United Nations Resolution 181 recommended a partition of the territory from the British Mandate for Palestine into two states - one for Jews and one for Palestinian Arabs. But the rejection of partition by the Arabs left in place as the legally operative Mandate for Palestine, the 1924 Anglo-American Convention, and Article 80 of the United Nations Charter."

It’s a shame that we don’t celebrate it as enthusiastically as we do Independence Day. It’s even more shameful that many Americans don’t even remember what happened on this day back in 1775. For the record, historians call this day, “Patriot’s Day.” More specifically, it was the day that the shot was fired that was heard ’round the world. It was the day America’s War for Independence began. Being warned of approaching British troops by Dr. Joseph Warren, Pastor Jonas Clark and his male congregants of the Church of Lexington (numbering 60-70) were the ones that stood with their muskets in front of the Crown’s troops (numbering over 800), who were on orders to seize a cache of arms which were stored at Concord and to arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock (who were known to be in the area, and who had actually taken refuge in Pastor Clark’s home). According to eyewitnesses, the king’s troops opened fire on the militiamen almost without warning, immediately killing eight of Pastor Clark’s parishioners. In self defense, the Minutemen returned fire. These were the first shots of the Revolutionary War."

An image activist is anyone that creates, supports and celebrates positive images of people of color. In my case, I focus on women of color, specifically. An image activist is also anyone in the business of telling stories and putting out narratives whether as a writer, speaker or media personality. As an image activist, it’s my responsibility to tell “our” stories because other people have created a narrative for us that usually paints us in a bad light. There are disproportionate amounts of instances in the media and on TV where women of color are shown in negative or violent situations, so an important part of what I do is expanding positive examples in the media, which is a large part of my role at BET as Editorial Brand Director. I look at it as PR for black women as a collective."

"text": "\"Independence Day: the film that defined modern summer movies Independence Day was released in the US 18 years ago today. Ryan looks at its ongoing impact on how summer movies are made and marketed... Feature Ryan Lambie Jul 4, 2014j65 Comments In 1990, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were Hollywood outsiders. Devlin was a young New York-born actor who'd appeared in a few TV shows and movies, such as the 1985 comedy, Real Genius. Emmerich was a German filmmaker whose credits consisted of low-budget films such as The Noah's Ark Principle (1984), and Hollywood-Monster (1987). Emmerich's 1990 film, Moon 44, was about pilots defending mining colonies with space-faring helicopters, and featured a glum-looking Malcolm Mc Dowell. Dean Devlin was also among Moon 44' s cast, and it was here that he forged a partnership with Emmerich: Devlin hated Moon 44' s dialogue, so he went and wrote his own. Within two years, they'd made their first film together - Universal Soldier, written by Devlin, directed by Emmerich, and produced by Carolco. It was a larger-than-life, daft sci-fi action film about dead Vietnam soldiers revived as cyborg warriors, and starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren - the latter playing a psychotic villain who collected severed human ears. Critics moaned, but Universal Soldier became a modest success. The next collaboration was more ambitious."

Here is the evidence, so you can decide which Independence Day is really Independence Day!Officially, the Continental Congress declared its freedom from Britain on July 2, 1776, when it approved a resolution and delegates from New York were given permission to make it a unanimous vote. John Adams thought July 2 would be marked as a national holiday for generations to come. “The most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.

Top 10Juliette Harrisson Oct 30, 2012j17 Comments‘Tis the season – the US presidential election is upon us, and thanks to a combination of interest garnered by The West Wing and Obama’s genuinely historic victory four years ago, even the news over here in Blighty is full of debates, polls and predictions. If all this politics is leaving you rather confused, now would be a good time to pick up a suitably presidential film to get yourself in the mood – and so here are our picks of some great movies about US presidents. It has not escaped my attention that all the presidents in these films, fictional or otherwise, are white men. This is because these have been selected on the strength of the film, and from films that deal primarily with the person of the President of the United States of America; and the few that do that and feature a female or non-white president just aren’t as good as these ten. Morgan Freeman is a brilliant president in Deep Impact, but the film doesn’t focus on his character as much as, say, Independence Day, and so it’s not quite presidential enough to make the list – in Deep Impact, we’re all more concerned with whether Frodo is going to make it up the mountain in time. There are one or two spoilers, ahead, particularly for Primary Colors.10. All The President's Men Genre: Political thriller. Headline News: The President has been illegally bugging things, and it’s up to the two most accidentally handsome journalists in the country to expose him. Which President?

The rise of the city began in the 16th century under the Spanish line of the House of Habsburg, when Philip II moved the royal court to Madrid. In the 18th century Charles III contributed much to the economic upturn of the city by modernizing the public infrastructure. During the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 Madrid was heavily destroyed by air raids. After the end of Franco's dictatorship the so-called Movida Madrileña – a hedonistic cultural movement that celebrated everything shrill and modern – began to emerge in Madrid."

As with Filipino surnames and many other aspects of Filipino culture, place names in the Philippines have received a great deal of Spanish influence, with many places in the former Spanish colony having been named after those in Spain and Latin America. The name Philippines itself originated from its old official name Filipinas in honor of King Philip II of Spain.

Both are true, but it’s a very simplistic way to look at the weather. Playa Del Carmen can be hot, humid, and windy. But it can also have the most perfect vacation weather – warm, still, and dry. Each month and season brings different weather to Playa Del Carmen, and I’ve detailed each month so you can plan your trip based on the weather and what is going on. Playa Del Carmen Weather Overview Playa Del Carmen has a sub-tropical climate so it’s always warm. For most of the year there is high humidity and an average temperature of around 80F (27C). From December to May there is little rain, and if you’re here on vacation, you might only have one sunbathing day interrupted by clouds. Between June and November the temperature increases, and there are mild tropical storms, particularly July to October."

Perched on a rocky hilltop, this historic walled town boasts stunning views and magnificent monuments. The ancient Roman aqueduct, fairy-tale castle, awe-inspiring cathedral, exquisite Romanesque churches, and mystical monasteries reveal Segovia's rich cultural heritage. Segovia is steeped in complex history, from the Romans of 80 BC to the medieval Moorish period and the coronation of Queen Isabella \"\"the Catholic\"\" in 1474, and in its streets you will find reminders of all these periods. The majority of Segovia's tourist attractions and things to do are found in the Old Town, an atmospheric medieval world of cobblestone streets, ancient alleyways, and charming squares. While discovering the top attractions, wander the narrow pedestrian lanes to find artisan boutiques, cafés, confectionary shops, and restaurants. See also: Where to Stay in Segovia1 Ancient Roman Aqueduct Ancient Roman Aqueduct Share: The Roman aqueduct is the symbol of Segovia and forms a magnificent backdrop for the historic city. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this monumental structure has stood the test of time, enduring two millennia in a remarkably well-preserved condition. The Segovia aqueduct is one of the two largest existing Roman structures in Spain. Built during the \"\"Flavio\"\" period around 50 AD, the aqueduct channeled water 17 kilometers from the Acebeda River in the Sierra de Fuenfría mountains through a deep valley to the ancient city."

The island sports a population of around 75,000 people, with most of the residents living in the main town of San Miguel. Cozumel is located in the Mexican State of Quintana Roo, which also encompasses much of the Yucatan peninsula. Cozumel's economy is completely dependent on tourism. It was hit hard by Hurricane Wilma in November 2005, completely knocking out the three cruise terminals and other infrastructure. But the island has come back stronger than ever, with the port authority taking the opportunity to double the cruise ship berthing capacity. The weather in Cozumel is tropical, with warm days and high humidities the norm. The rainy season lasts from June through November; expect a brief afternoon shower every day, and the occasional torrential downpour. The dry season lasts from December through May.

Labor Day celebrations took place in New York City in 1882 at the behest of local labor unions. The unions wanted to put the fruits of their industries on public display. In 1887, Oregon instituted a state-level Labor Day holiday. 29 other states followed suit before it finally became a federal holiday in 1894. The original Labor Day celebrations consisted of street parades displaying the contributions of laborers in various industries. These parades were followed by local festivals and other amusements. The holiday was also a time for giving speeches on labor-related topics, which is still occasionally done today. Another reason Labor Day was instituted was to provide a public holiday in the long, “holiday-free” span between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving."

"text": "Tyson Foods reinstates Labor Day holiday Tweet By Michelle Malkin • August 8, 2008 11:10 AMWell, isn’t that interesting. Four days ago, I linked to the Shelbyville, Tennessee Times-Gazette’s report on the decision by the local union at Tyson Foods to replace the paid Labor Day holiday with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. New development: The Labor Day holiday has apparently been reinstated. Here’s an e-mail from Tyson: From: Tyson [email protected] Subject: Tyson Foods Shelbyville Plant – New Statement Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2008 09:15:37 -0500 ————————————————————————————————- Labor Day Reinstated as Paid Holiday at Shelbyville, TN, Plant Tyson Foods Requested Change from Union ————————————————————————————————-Springdale, Arkansas – August 8, 2008 – Tyson Foods, Inc. announced today it has reached a new agreement with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), an American union, reinstating Labor Day as one of the designated paid holidays under the contract for covered employees in the Shelbyville, Tennessee, plant. Tyson made this request on behalf of its Shelbyville plant employees, some of whom had expressed concern about the new contract provisions relative to paid holidays. In an effort to be responsive, Tyson asked the union to reopen the contract to address the holiday issue, and the union agreed to do so. The union membership voted overwhelmingly Thursday to reinstate Labor Day as one of the plant’s paid holidays, while keeping Eid al-Fitr as an additional paid holiday for this year only. This means that in 2008 only, Shelbyville employees will have nine paid holidays. For the remainder of the five-year contract period, the eight paid holidays will include: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and a Personal Holiday, which could either be the employee’s birthday, Eid al-Fitr or another day requested and approved by their supervisor. This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, Tennessee."

"text": "About Cesar E. Chavez National Holiday Cesar E. Chavez National Holiday was established by Los Angeles volunteers who organized and led the effort in California that won Cesar Chavez Day, the first legal state holiday and day of service and learning in honor of farm worker leader Cesar E. Chavez. The legal holiday bill introduced by then State Senator Richard Polanco (Los Angeles-D) was signed into law by then Governor Gray Davis (D) on August 18, 2000. The holiday is celebrated in California on Cesar E. Chavez’s birthday March 31st. This marked the first time that a labor leader or Latino has been honored with a public legal holiday. The California legal holiday set into motion a wave of initiatives resulting in optional and commemorative Cesar Chavez Days in nine additional states (Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and Rhode Island. ) Cesar Chavez Day brings together hundreds of thousands who engage in celebrations, service and learning projects, and other actions that further the many causes which Cesar Chavez worked for. The mission of Cesar E. Chavez National Holiday, a public benefit organization, is to work for national recognition of Cesar E. Chavez on his birthday March 31. We are forming national, state and local coalitions; organizing volunteer committees; and providing education about the value to our nation of honoring Cesar E. Chavez. Our Vision Cesar Chavez gave our nation and each of us a unique example to live our lives by. His selfless dedication for farm worker and worker rights, economic justice, civil rights, environmental justice, peace, nonviolence, empowerment of the poor and disenfranchised, is a monumental legacy that will inspire all and the generations to come."

Sauter Published January 12, 2016 24/7 Wall St. Facebook Twitter Comments Print On Labor Day, Americans honor the countrys workforce and the end of summer. However, while most of us enjoy a day off, millions must continue to work to keep the countrys utilities going, its people safe and its economy running. These workers, while being saluted, do not get to celebrate themselves. They may be at work simply because their boss requires it or in response to an emergency. In many cases, the work simply needs to continue firefighters must be ready to extinguish fires and nurses must tend to patients. Read the story on 24/7 Wall St. Whats more, workers of some occupations have an increased workload on Labor Day. Police officers, for example, monitor parades and respond to crimes. Air traffic controllers need to deal with the increase in travel common to Labor Day.24/7 Wall St. has identified crucial jobs in transportation, utilities, security and health care that America cannot afford to let have a day off. We then used the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics database to identify specific job categories and attendant data for each. Of course, not everyone employed in these fields has to take a shift on Labor Day, but unlike traditional factory work or office jobs, the work must go on, and someone still needs to do it.10."

In the United States, Labor Day is a federal holiday observed on the first Monday of September. In the United States, Labor Day is customarily viewed as the end of the summer vacation season, although school starting times now may vary. Labor Day has its origins in the labor union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. In the United States the first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country. Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday on February 21, 1887. By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day. For many countries, Labor Day is linked with International Workers' Day, which occurs on May 1. For other countries, Labor Day is celebrated on a different date, often one with a particular significance significance for the labor movement in that country."

"text": "\"What does Labor Day stand for? September 5, 2011 | 5:00 am To many people, Labor Day means a three-day weekend. Picnics, barbecues, a farewell to summer -- and one last hurrah before the new school year gets underway in earnest. But Labor Day, which always takes place on the first Monday in September, was created to honor the contributions of the nation's working men and women and their achievements. Here's how the U. S. Labor Department describes the holiday: \"\"It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country. \"\" Photos: Los Angeles labor movement throughout history Perhaps not surprisingly, the holiday is the creation of the labor movement, which wanted a holiday to honor workers -- and highlight the need for labor reform laws. The Central Labor Union held the first Labor Day celebration in 1882 in New York City. The AFL-CIO, which represents about 12.2 million members, says that first holiday was marked by a march to demand an eight-hour workday and other labor law reforms. About 20,000 workers made their way up Broadway carrying signs that read “Labor Creates All Wealth” and “Eight Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Rest, Eight Hours for Recreation.” ( The AFL-CIO site offers a chronological look at such events via a timeline . )"

"text": "\"Spain Americans will recognize some of Spain's national holidays. Spain even has a national day set aside to honor Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World. It is important to know before you travel to Spain which days are national holidays because these can affect your travel plans due to federal offices being closed and certain customs being observed. New Year's Day Like most other countries, Spain officially recognizes the first day of the new calendar year as a holiday. New Year's Day is traditionally observed at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve by consuming 12 grapes. The significance of the 12 has to do with the months, of course, and the grapes themselves are intended to ensure happiness each month. Spaniards celebrate New Year's Day with fireworks but also by eating chocolate with fritters, or chocolate con churros. Epiphany Celebrated on January 6, Epiphany is perhaps better known in the English-speaking world as Twelfth Night. It is a religious holiday connected with Christmas that observes the bringing of gifts to baby Jesus by the Wise Men. Indeed, in Spain many people don't open their Christmas presents until Epiphany."

If you've got kids in school, don't plan that end-of-summer getaway just yet: Some Portland-area school districts are starting classes well before Labor Day this year, and more might follow. Blame the calendar: Labor Day falls on Sept. 7 this year, creating concerns in some districts about loss of instructional time if they wait until after the holiday to resume classes. Dan Aguayo | The Oregonian/Oregon Live That was the case for Portland Public Schools, the state's largest school district, which will start classes for all students except kindergartners on Thursday, Aug. 27. Kindergartners will start Tuesday, Sept. 1. In the Forest Grove School District, students will return on either Tuesday, Sept. 1, or Wednesday, Sept. 2, depending on what grade they're in. The Lake Oswego School District hasn't finalized its 2015-16 calendar but is planning to bring back students on Monday, Aug. 31, according to spokeswoman Nancy Duin. In the Hillsboro School District, the school board will decide whether students go back to class before or after Labor Day, said district spokeswoman Beth Graser. \"\" We are planning on presenting two versions of a calendar for the 2015-16 school year to our school board at a work session on Feb. 10,\"\" Graser said. \"\" One will have school starting on Aug. 31 and the other would be starting Sept. 8."

"text": "Humanities ›History & Culture The Purpose and History of Labor Day Share Flipboard Email Print Early Labor Day Parade. Bettmann Archive / Getty Imagesby Robert Longley Updated August 31, 2017Labor Day is a public holiday in the United States. Always observed on the first Monday in September, Labor Day celebrates and honors the contribution of the American system of organized labor and workers to the prosperity and economic strength of the nation. The Monday of Labor Day along with the Saturday and Sunday preceding it is known as the Labor Day Weekend and is traditionally considered the end of summer. As a federal holiday, all but essential national, state, and local government offices are typically closed on Labor Day. Labor Day is the day to “throw down your tools,” and eat too many hot dogs while thanking American workers for their collective contribution to the strength, prosperity, quality of life, cold beer, and great sales enjoyed across the nation. In every sense, the underlying meaning of Labor Day is different from that of any other yearly holiday. “ All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another,” said Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor. “ Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation. ”Not A Day Off For Everybody, by Far Of course, it should be noted that millions of hard working Americans, like those in the retail and service industries, along with those in law enforcement, public safety, and health care observe Labor Day by working as usual."

Here’s a roundup of what’s open and what’s closed on Labor Day (September 7) and where to find the best sales during the last holiday weekend of summer. According to CBS News, at least 35.5 million people will travel 50 miles or more from home during Labor Day weekend, but if a getaway is not in your plans and you need something to do, most retail stores, restaurants, and movie theaters will be open. Walmart, Target, Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, and all the popular “big box” stores will be open on Labor Day with sales running throughout the holiday weekend.

Unfortunately, this holiday is often confused with Labor Day and/or Memorial Day — both of which fall at different times of the year. Help your kids learn the difference between these three federal holidays with this quick primer. Veterans Day Veterans Day falls on November 11 each year. It honors all war veterans, and it falls on the day when World War I fighting ceased the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. In fact, according to the original decree, Veterans Day was supposed to start at 11 a.m. each year. Here’s a famous Veterans Day quote from President Wilson upon signing the day into law: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations. ”Labor Day Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September each year. The holiday is more than 100 years old and was created after calls from the labor movement to recognize the social and economic achievements of American workers. The first Labor Day was Sept. 5, 1882, but there’s disagreement on who pushed for its creation."

On Monday, we’ll come together to celebrate how unions helped build the middle class.— Vice President Biden (@VP) August 30, 2016Labor Day was a radical idea for its time and wasn't warmly received. Taking a day off work seems like a no-brainer now, but in the 1880s trade unions and rabble-rousing workers' rights groups were the upstarts. Organizations like the Central Labor Union of New York espoused Marxist politics and integrated black workers into their ranks -- not so simple a matter less than 20 years after the Civil War. When they held the very first Labor Day Parade on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, The New York Tribune didn't restrain its condescension. \"\""

When a patient has amblyopia, the brain focuses on one eye more than the other, virtually ignoring the \"\"lazy\"\" eye. If that eye is not stimulated properly, the nerve cells responsible for vision do not mature normally. In the United States, amblyopia affects approximately 2 percent of all children. It is the most common cause of partial or total blindness in one eye in the U. S. The term \"\"lazy eye\"\" is misleading because the eye is not lazy. In fact, it is a developmental problem in the nerve connecting the eye to the brain, not a problem in the eye itself. Fast facts on amblyopia Symptoms of lazy eye include blurred vision and poor depth perception. Lazy eye is not a problem with the eye, but the connections to the brain. Amblyopia can be caused by a number of factors, including a muscle imbalance or eye disease. Treatment can be effective and the sooner it begins, the better."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: Sloth (deadly sin) and Lethargy For the computer science concept, see Lazy evaluation. Idle Woman ( Perezosa ), by Daniel Hernández Morillo Laziness (also called indolence) is disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to act or exert oneself. It is often used as a pejorative; terms for a person seen to be lazy include couch potato, slacker, and bludger. Despite Sigmund Freud 's discussion of the pleasure principle, Leonard Carmichael notes that \"\"laziness is not a word that appears in the table of contents of most technical books on psychology ... It is a guilty secret of modern psychology that more is understood about the motivation of thirsty rats and hungry pecking pigeons as they press levers than about the way in which poets make themselves write poems or scientists force themselves into the laboratory when the good golfing days of spring arrive.\"\" [ 1] A 1931 survey found that high school students were more likely to attribute their failing performance to laziness, while teachers ranked \"\"lack of ability\"\" as the major cause, with laziness coming in second. [ 2] Laziness is not to be confused with avolition, a negative symptom of certain mental health issues such as depression, ADHD, sleep disorders, and schizophrenia.

It may reflect a lack of self-esteem, a lack of positive recognition by others, a lack of discipline stemming from low self-confidence, or a lack of interest in the activity or belief in its efficacy. [ 5] Laziness may manifest as procrastination or vacillation. Studies of motivation suggest that laziness may be caused by a decreased level of motivation, which in turn can be caused by over-stimulation or excessive impulses or distractions."

"text": "You are sure that the only reason your spouse, teenage son or co-worker isn’t cooperating is that (s)he is just too “lazy” to do what has just been requested. But even if you are right about the immediate behavioral state, you may be very wrong about the personal trait. Accordingly, your behavioral management approach to the “laziness” problem will likewise be wrong. Getting that wrong, and concluding you are dealing with a lazy person (rather than rare or even one-off lazy behavior ), can have all sorts or adverse consequences for “the accused”, for your behavioral management efforts and for the relationships or organizations in which (s)he is embedded. “Lazy” vs. “Sleepy”: a Tale of Two Dwarfs Misinterpreting lazy behavior as a trait rather than as a state can easily happen, because there is a very strong tendency to ignore the difference between being lazy in one context and being lazy in general. In part, this blurring is due to the connotations of the word “lazy” itself: Unlike “sleepy”, “lazy” tends to sound like a “character trait”, i.e., a general psychological characteristic or inclination, rather than a “state”, i.e., temporary or situation-specific behavior. If I tell you so-and-so is sleepy, you are absolutely unlikely to take that to mean I’m talking about someone like Snow White’s dwarf, “Sleepy”, who always struggles to stay awake. No, instead, you will take it to mean something much more limited—a fleeting state: sleepy in the present or in a very specific, isolated situation, e.g., because of jet lag or after midnight. ( Note: The seemingly arbitrary names of the other dwarfs—“Grumpy”, “Doc”, “Happy”, “ Bashful”, “Sneezy”, and “Dopey”—all designate permanent t raits, not temporary states (“Doc” implying a permanent skill set). ) Now imagine there is another Snow White dwarf, “Lazy”."

"text": "The Keys to the Lazy Project Manager – What is “Productive Laziness”? Written on January 9, 2013 by Gareth Byatt, Jeff Hodgkinson, Peter Taylor and Gary Hamilton0 0 0 0 0 0 0Gareth, Gary and Jeff would like to thank author, Peter Taylor, for sharing his material and writing this article with us, which is adapted from material previously released by Peter (see thelazyprojectmanager.com for more details).‘Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.’ Robert Heinlein (1907 – 1988)The subject of this article is the keys to being a ‘lazy’ project manager. Now, by this, we do not mean that PMs should be lazy and leave everyone else to do the work. Obviously, that would be ill-advised and would result in an extremely short career in project management… in fact, most probably, a very short career, full stop!What this article is about is adopting a focused approach to project management, to exercise effort where it really matters rather than rushing around like busy bees involving ourselves in unimportant, non-critical activities that others can better address, or that, in some cases, do not need to be addressed at all. Science behind the laziness – being focused The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule) states that, for many phenomena, 80% of consequences stem from 20% of the causes. The principle was first suggested by management thinker Joseph M. Juran and was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of property in Italy was owned by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes. For a project manager, the value of the Pareto Principle is that it reminds you to focus on the 20 percent that matters."

Not able to make it to Bobby Jr.'s baseball game because you have to work all weekend? Have you re-scheduled date night for several weeks in a row? Chances are if you answered yes to any of these questions you consider yourself overworked. However, it's a safe bet to say that a large part of your overload is due more to procrastination than the actual amount of work you have to complete. Even if you end up meeting deadlines, other areas of your life suffer. One of the most crucial areas procrastination can affect is your marriage. Not only does your spouse have to pick up the slack for responsibilities you no longer have time for, he/she will start to feel less like part of a team and more like a solo artist. This ongoing shift in the relationship can cause resentment and anger in your partner and lead to many problems. Another issue that procrastination brings up that relates to marital problems is personal finance."

Contents [ show]Summary A mysterious prism creates five Ravens, each of a different color and with a different aspect of her personality. The Ravens disrupt life in the Tower so much that the others decide to use the crystals of the prism to put Raven back together again. Plot The episode starts out with a battle with Dr. Light, who is stealing the Mysterious Prism from a museum. The Titans don't really take the fight seriously, as their main goal is to take him down after making a one-liner. Beast Boy, morphing into a cat, gets tossed away in shame; Cyborg transforms into a missile, only to be hit with a stick bomb and blow up; Starfire fires Starbolts at Dr. Light, but crashes into a car. Raven, on the other hand, simply teleports him to jail through a black hole, and she didn't care about making a one-liner. Back at the Tower, Robin asks what to do with the prism, and the Titans start passing it around like a ball while everyone asks Raven how can she have feelings."

If Monday is the first day of the week, the days may be coded 1 to 7, for Monday through Sunday, as is practiced in ISO 8601. The day designated with 7 may also be counted as 0, by applying the arithmetic modulo 7, which calculates the remainder of a number after division by 7. Thus, the number 7 is treated as 0, 8 as 1, 9 as 2, 18 as 4 and so on. If Sunday is counted as day 1, then 7 days later (i.e. day 8) is also a Sunday, and day 18 is the same as day 4, which is a Wednesday since this falls three days after Sunday.

One standard approach is to look up (or calculate, using a known rule) the value of the first day of the week of a given century, look up (or calculate, using a method of congruence) an adjustment for the month, calculate the number of leap years since the start of the century, and then add these together along with the number of years since the start of the century, and the day number of the month."

It is the calendar used in the international standard for Representation of dates and times: ISO 8601:2004. It is a solar calendar based on a 365-day common year divided into 12 months of irregular lengths. 11 of the months have either 30 or 31 days, while the second month, February, has only 28 days during the common year. However, nearly every four years is a leap year, when one extra – or intercalary – day, is added on 29 February, making the leap year in the Gregorian calendar 366 days long. The days of the year in the Gregorian calendar are divided into 7-day weeks, and the weeks are numbered 1 to 52 or 53. The international standard is to start the week on Monday. However, several countries, including the US and Canada, count Sunday as the first day of the week.

Gregorian Calendar Date: Time::: Weekday: The Gregorian calendar was proclaimed by Pope Gregory XIII and took effect in most Catholic states in 1582, in which October 4, 1582 of the Julian calendar was followed by October 15 in the new calendar, correcting for the accumulated discrepancy between the Julian calendar and the equinox as of that date. When comparing historical dates, it's important to note that the Gregorian calendar, used universally today in Western countries and in international commerce, was adopted at different times by different countries. Britain and her colonies (including what is now the United States), did not switch to the Gregorian calendar until 1752, when Wednesday 2nd September in the Julian calendar dawned as Thursday the 14th in the Gregorian. The Gregorian calendar is a minor correction to the Julian. In the Julian calendar every fourth year is a leap year in which February has 29, not 28 days, but in the Gregorian, years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400."

The short answer is 365.25 days per year but there is more. The extra quarter day comes from leap years which are normally 1 out of 4. However years divisible by 100 are not leap years, except that every year divisible by 400 is a leap year. This all amounts to 365.2425 days per year.

"text": "THE BLOG 02/29/2012 11:53 am ET Updated Apr 30, 2012Leap Year Birthday: ‘What Day Do You Celebrate?’By Sonal Soni“So what day do you celebrate?” is invariably one of the first questions I get asked whenever I inform someone that I am a leap day baby. The answer to that question for me has always been: “Whenever I want.” Being born on February 29 has definitely had its advantages, one of them being that I’m free to choose my birthday in non-leap years. In fact, in non leap-years I have a sense that my birthday is a combination of both February 28 and March 1; February 28 because it is my birthday month and March 1 because I recognize that had it not been a leap year, it would have been the date of my birth. But why choose just one day when you can have a two-day celebration with people wishing you ‘happy birthday’ over an extended period of time? When I feel like having some fun, I get to answer the question of how old are you with a bit of a twist. Having a birthday once every four years, I can answer that question in leap day birthdays, giving a number ¼ of my actual age (for instance, turning 36 this year, I will actually be turning 9). I love watching others puzzle over the answer to the question that does not seem to match my physical age. It brings great glee particularly to the nieces in my life, one of whom noted that she will soon be older than me."

Parents of Leap Day babies were opting for both strategies at Rush University Medical Center, where as many as six Leap Day babies could be born this year. As WBBM Newsradio’s John Cody reports, parents of Leap Year babies are already making birthday strategies for their children born on February 29, meaning they’ll either have 25 percent as many birthdays as the rest of the world, or twice as many – depending on their perspective. LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s John Cody reportshttp://cbschicago.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/leap-1jc.mp3Dr. Ashish Arora and his wife Kelly said they’re thinking of dual birthdays on February 28 and March 1 to bracket the usually missing February 29 for their newborn daughter Ahna. That will allow each side of the family a chance to throw a party, so Ahna might be in line for twice as many parties as the rest of the world. “She’s beautiful, like her mom. She’s adorable; a little princess,” Ashish said. “Her due date was February 28th, but she just came on the 29th,” Kelly said. “ She was great."

[ 1] [2] [Note 1] It is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced it in October 1582. It was a refinement to the Julian calendar [3] involving an approximately 0.002% correction in the length of the calendar year. The motivation for the reform was to stop the drift of the calendar with respect to the equinoxes and solstices—particularly the northern vernal equinox, which helps set the date for Easter. Transition to the Gregorian calendar would restore the holiday to the time of the year in which it was celebrated when introduced by the early Church. The reform was adopted initially by the Catholic countries of Europe. Protestants and Eastern Orthodox countries continued to use the traditional Julian calendar and adopted the Gregorian reform, one by one, after a time, at least for civil purposes and for the sake of convenience in international trade."

What Is a Leap Year? Are you a leapling - a leap year baby, that is to say? If you are, then you only get to celebrate your true birthday once every four years. Maybe you feel cheated at not having your birthday on February 29th every year, or maybe you don't care since you just celebrate it the day before (February 28th) or after (March 1st) in a non-leap year, a year where February only has 28 days. You can thank events that happened thousands of years ago for cheating you out of a birthday on non-leap years, or perhaps you can thank them for letting you have an ultra-special birthday once every four years. Maybe you even feel younger because you have fewer birthdays - whatever tickles your fancy most. Anyways, this lesson will tell you how the concept of a leap year arose and why.

In the Gregorian calendar, we use today a leap year has 366 days instead of 365. An extra day is added every four years at the end of February, so it has 29 days instead of 28.

The Roman calendar provides the historical background for the Christian calendar. To a large extent the structure the calendar we use today is similar to the structure of the ancient Roman calendar. Before 45 BC, the Roman calendar was a mess, and much of our so-called “knowledge” about it seems to be little more than guesswork. Originally, the year started on 1 March and consisted of only 304 days or 10 months (Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December). These 304 days were followed by an unnamed and unnumbered winter period. The Roman king Numa Pompilius (c. 715-673 BC, although his historicity is disputed) allegedly introduced February and January (in that order) between December and March, increasing the length of the year to 354 or 355 days. In 450 BC, February was moved to its current position between January and March."

How will it do in season three? Will the numbers go up or down? Will the series be cancelled or is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed to make sure it has enough episodes for syndication? Stay tuned. On Madam Secretary, Elizabeth Mc Cord (Tèa Leoni) is the shrewd and determined Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy. She battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. The cast also includes Tim Daly, Željko Ivanek, Bebe Neuwirth, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Wallis Currie-Wood, Kathrine Herzer, and Evan Roe. The ratings are typically the best sign of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival."

But it’s getting bumped up to a likely renewal this week, and if there are any worries about it suffering once “The Good Wife” leaves the air, they can be put to rest. In each of its two seasons thus far, “Madam Secretary” has outrated its lead-out by decent margins (1.29 vs. 1.08 so far this season, 1.44 vs. 1.22 in 2014-15). Being an hour closer to NFL overruns in the fall helps, but even without football the show tends to pull in better numbers than “The Good Wife. ”CBS is OK with an older audience on Sunday nights, and “Madam Secretary” seems a pretty good fit with “60 Minutes.” That’s more important for the show’s long-term health than whatever the network plugs into the timeslot after it. Key: DSW Dead Show Walking: All but officially canceled yet still airing sure bet to be canceled by May 2016 likely to be canceled by May 2016 tossup between renewal and cancellation by May 2016 likely to be renewed by May 2016 sure bet to be renewed by May 2016– The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show’s new episode adults 18-49 ratings to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its network. It’s calculated by dividing a show’s new episode live+same-day adults 18-49 average rating by the live+same-day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show’s own network.

"text": "\"Madam Secretary - Vartius (Season Finale) - Review: \"\"What will season 3 look like? \"\" Posted by Daniel van der Veer at May 09, 2016 8 Comments DV Madam Secretary Reviews Madam Secretary aired its second season finale on Sunday, and the episode gave a definitive answer to the question 'Is Dmitri Petrov dead or alive?' Besides that, Bess also learned that President Dalton wanted to replace her as Secretary of State, but for what reason? Following last week's offer by Russian Foreign Minister Konstantin Avdonin to do a spy swap where the US returns notorious spy Peter Buckley while Russia gives the US Dmitri Petrov, Bess immediately gets to Mike B to find out if such a swap is even a remote possibility. Of course, she first has to find evidence that Dmitri is still alive. Avdonin is not just going to give proof of life, so Bess calls to Anton Durchenko (who helped her retrieve the American children in Syria in the very first episode of the show). Durchenko promises to find out what he can, and later gives Bess a package that contains a photo of Dmitri's dead body. Bess confronts Avdonin and accuses him of lying to them, but Avdonin assures her that Dmitri is still alive. All signs point to Dmitri being dead, except for the word of the Russian Foreign Minister. This and the fact that Peter Buckley was responsible for the death of several Americans leads the President not to approve of the deal."

C., as a favor to President Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine), whom she considers a friend. As the new secretary of state, Elizabeth finds her principles tested as she scores some major victories and a few defeats. While the president values Elizabeth's frankness and how she confidently handles foreign policy on her own terms, those qualities aren't always appreciated, especially by other members of the White House staff. Time and again proving herself capable of pulling off tricky feats of international diplomacy, perhaps the greatest difficulty faced by Elizabeth in Season 1 is getting to the bottom of the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of her predecessor. Elizabeth also deals with domestic challenges as she and her loving husband, theology scholar Henry Mc Cord (Tim Daly), help their three children adjust to mom's demanding career. Rounding out the cast are Bebe Neuwirth and Željko Ivanek as Elizabeth's and the president's respective chiefs of staff.

As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether the TV show Madam Secretary is cancelled or renewed for season five. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all the Madam Secretary season four episodes below. A CBS political thriller, Madam Secretary stars Téa Leoni, Tim Daly, Bebe Neuwirth, Željko Ivanek, Keith Carradine, Sebastian Arcelus, Patina Miller, Geoffrey Arend, Erich Bergen, Kathrine Herzer, Wallis Currie-Wood, and Evan Roe. The drama follows the shrewd, determined Elizabeth Mc Cord (Leoni). As U. S. Secretary of State, she battles office politics, while driving diplomacy and negotiating global deals. Elizabeth was once a CIA analyst, who exited that post for ethical reasons. She later returned to public life, at the request of President Conrad Dalton (Carradine). He values her apolitical leanings, knowledge of the Middle East, flair for languages, and unconventional thinking."

These days though, even in business it's quite common to see \"\"kind regards\"\" or \"\"best regards\"\" from someone who you may not know at all but who works in the same company / area.

"text": "Drama‘Madam Secretary’ episode 12: What is the return date for Tea Leoni, cast? Madam Secretary 11 Comments November 30, 2014If you enjoy CBS’ “ Madam Secretary ,” hopefully you really enjoyed the new episode airing on the network tonight! Let’s hope it is strong enough to really withstand the lengthy amount of time you’re going to be waiting for the next installment. Based on the information that we have seen (per the Futon Critic ), the twelfth episode of this season is going to be airing come Sunday, January 4. This seems to be around the right return date for the show, given what we know about the way the CBS schedule tends to work. They like to air new episodes of shows at some point early in the year, and after a brief little swap over the coming weeks with “The Mentalist” and “Undercover Boss,” Sunday is going to see the schedule return more to form. What we are going to be personally interested to see early next year is just how some of these shows actually fare without having to deal with some of the frustrations related to NFL football. After all, there have been very few episodes of “Madam Secretary” this season to actually air at the designated start time of 8:00 p.m. Eastern. This will happen more early next year, and that can give us a better sense of if Tea Leoni and company will stick around. Right now, we would classify the show firmly as on the bubble."

"text": "\"Téa Leoni Makes Comeback As 'Madam Secretary' On CBSVal Powell 09.22.2014 Life After a 16-year hiatus from TV, Téa Leoni makes a big comeback playing the title role in CBS’ new series, Madam Secretary. The actress plays Elizabeth Mc Cord, the new Secretary of State who reluctantly accepted the appointment from the President (her former boss) following the mysterious death of her predecessor. The role seemed to fit Leoni perfectly, she told CBS News that she was immediately drawn to Madam Secretary after reading the script. “ Sometimes, I think, I read a script, and it's not so much that I know that I have to do it,” Leoni said. “ I know that I can't not do it. ”#WCW - We're counting the days till the premiere of #Madam Secretary starring Tea Leoni. http://t.co/s J7GG2w9XCpic.twitter.com/vha2ydfr We— Global TV (@Global_TV) August 20, 2014The 48-year-old actress said that she relates to her character’s rawness and honesty because she has kids who take over a huge part of her life, despite her high-powered position, “which at times, is a huge pain in the ass. ”“Here’s another way about it,” the actress continued. “ There are a lot of shows out there that are leaning wonderfully to the left and the right and forward and back…and I think we were really shooting to come up with a very wide open woman.” Leoni further commented that she appreciates that there are plenty of interesting and dynamic female characters – specifically women in office – on television."

"text": "\"Hobbies & Games Contests & Gambling Q: How Long Does It Take to Get Your Winnings From Mega Millions? A: Quick Answer For prizes under $599, players can take their winning Mega Millions lottery ticket to an authorized sales agent to have the ticket validated and immediately claim their prize. Winning tickets worth more than $600 take longer to receive, as these must be paid out by the state lottery commission. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do You Claim Your Prize If You Have the Winning Numbers for the Lottery? How Do You Claim a Prize From Winning the Lottery? How Much Money Do You Win When You Hit the Mega Ball Only in the Mega Millions Lottery? Full Answer In the case of a prize of over $600, the winner must go to an authorized sales agent to fill out a claim form, which is then sent along with the winning ticket to the state lottery commission for validation. If a ticket wins the Mega Millions jackpot, the winner must follow the same procedure for submitting the claim form. In the case of the jackpot, the winner has two options for collecting his winnings. He can either choose to receive a lump sum payment or the annuity option, which is paid out over a total of 30 payments."

But before you start thinking about what you're going to do with all of that cash - there are some basic things everyone with a ticket needs to know, especially if you're lucky enough to be holding the winning numbers. ADVERTISEMENTWhen are the drawings held? The Mega Millions drawing will be held Friday from Atlanta at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 10:00 p.m. Central Time, 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time. What's the latest I can buy a Mega Millions ticket? If you're a last minute kind of person - even with more than a half-a-billion on the line - not to worry. You can buy tickets up to 15 minutes before the drawing. ("

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Mega Millions (which began as The Big Game in 1996 and renamed, temporarily, to The Big Game Mega Millions six years later) is an American multi-jurisdictional lottery game; it is offered in 44 states, the District of Columbia, and the U. S. Virgin Islands. The first (The Big Game) Mega Millions drawing was in 2002; see below. ( What is now Mega Millions initially was offered in six states; the logo for all versions of the game following the retiring of The Big Game name featured a gold-colored ball with six stars to represent the game's initial membership. ) Mega Millions is drawn at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday and Friday evenings, including holidays. [ 1] Mega Millions is administered by a consortium of its 12 original lotteries; [2] the drawings are held at the studios of WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia, [1] supervised by the Georgia Lottery. Under the current version's regulations (which began October 28, 2017 with the first drawing October 31) for Mega Millions, the minimum Mega Millions advertised jackpot is $40 million, paid in 30 graduated yearly installments, increasing 5 percent each year (unless the cash option is chosen; see below for differences by lotteries on cash/annuity choice regulations.) The jackpot increases when there is no top-prize winner [1] (see below for information on how the Mega Millions jackpot is funded.) As of December 13, 2017, there has yet to be a jackpot winner under the current Mega Millions format, including wagers for the newly created Just the Jackpot option. Reflecting common practice among American lotteries, the jackpot is advertised as a nominal value of annual installments. A cash value option (the usual choice), when chosen by a jackpot winner, pays the approximate present value of the installments."

It is coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), a nonprofit organization formed by an agreement with US lotteries. Powerball's minimum advertised jackpot is $40 million (annuity); Powerball's annuity is paid in 30 graduated installments or winners may choose a lump sum payment instead. One lump sum payment will be less than the total of the 30 annual payments because of the time value of money. Drawings for Powerball are held every Wednesday and Saturday evening at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Since October 7, 2015, the game has used a 5/69 (white balls) + 1/26 (Powerballs) matrix from which winning numbers are chosen, resulting in odds of 1 in 292,201,338 of winning a jackpot per play. [ 1] Each play costs $2, or $3 with the Power Play option. ( Originally, Powerball plays cost $1; when Power Play began, such games were $2.) The official cutoff for ticket sales is 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time; some lotteries cut off sales earlier. [ 2] The drawings are usually held at the Florida Lottery ’s studio in Tallahassee."

"text": "$270 million jackpot winner has not come forward Should contact the Illinois Lottery immediately and ponder options before claiming Mega Millions prize—Lottery officials RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2015 SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - The person or persons who won Friday night’s $270 million Mega Millions jackpot have not identified themselves to Illinois Lottery officials as of Sunday afternoon. Given the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, Lottery officials have announced a phone number that the winner can use to contact them and begin the winner validation process immediately. “ Given the long holiday weekend, we want the winner to know they don’t have to wait until Tuesday to come to a lottery office to make their claim, we will come to them,” said Lottery Director Michael Jones.” If you are holding the winning $270 million Mega Millions ticket please call 217-524-5158 immediately.” The Director also urged the winner to begin carefully weighing the options available in claiming the massive prize, the largest in Illinois Lottery history, and to consult with a team of financial professionals if possible. The winner has up to one year from the drawing date to claim the prize. Perhaps the biggest decision to be made, at least initially, is whether to claim the prize as a one-time payment of about $181 million, or to opt to be paid in 30 consecutive annual payments that increase 5 percent per year (first payment would be about $4 million; final payment would be more than $16 million). The decision whether to take the prize as an annuity or as a reduced one-time payment must be made within 60 days of the drawing. After 60 days the prize may only be claimed as an annuity. Officials said the winner should sign the back of the ticket immediately, and secure the ticket in a safe place until ready to make the claim. “"

Many shows eventually went back to the regular 8pm curtain, while many have not, so if you're seeing a Tuesday night performance, be extra careful to check whether it is at 7pm or 8pm. Early Curtain : On occasion, especially if the play is really long, performances will start earlier than the standard 8pm curtain, usually at 7 or 7:30pm. Matinees : Though the standard is Wed/Sat matinees at 2pm and Sunday mats at 3pm, some shows may have it the other way around. Or, occasionally, a matinee may even be at an odd time like 1:30pm. Sunday Night Shows : Because Sunday is such a popular day at theaters for both tourists and locals, many Broadway shows have tried to make the most of it by adding an evening performance. Sunday night shows usually begin at 7 or 7:30pm. Monday Night Shows : Monday is traditionally the \"\"dark\"\" day on Broadway, when theaters are closed so that performers and staff can have a day off. But some shows try to take advantage of the lack of competition that day by adding a Monday night performance. These are usually at 8pm."

"text": "\"News People OBITUARY Ginger Rogers Tuesday 25 April 1995 23:02 BSTClick to follow The Independent Online Wholesome but sexy, forthright and vulnerable, honest and energetic, Ginger Rogers was one of Hollywood's biggest stars of the Thirties and Forties. Not a great actress, as she was always the first to admit, she could handle both comedy and drama capably as well as sing and dance, and if her range was not as great as some of her contemporaries, her appeal and glamour were more down-to-earth than other screen heroines and thus easier to identify with. She would be remembered with affection now even if she had never danced with Fred Astaire. It is because she did, though, that she will have a special place in film history, a place that elevates her above many other actresses of the period just as popular and possibly more talented. Astaire and Rogers were, and are, quite simply the most famous dance team of all time. Ginger was born Virginia Katherine Mc Math on 16 July 1911 in Independence, Missouri, but she quickly became known as \"\"Ginger\"\" when one of her young cousins had difficulty pronouncing her first name. Rogers was the surname of her mother's second husband. Ginger's mother Lela had always been attracted to show business, and when Ginger was five she was left with her grandparents in Kansas City while Lela went to Hollywood to pursue a writing career providing scripts (as Lela Leibrand) for silent stars such as Theda Bara. Ginger had already appeared in some advertising films, and when Lela returned to Kansas as reporter and theatre critic for the Kansas City Post, she made sure her offspring met performers who were appearing in the city. Lela has often been described as the archetypal show-business mother, and Ginger herself always credited her with a major share of responsibility for her later success."

The story, set during the Japanese American internment of World War II (with a framing story set in the present day), was inspired by the personal experiences of George Takei, who stars in the musical. It follows the Kimura family in the years following the attack on Pearl Harbor, as they are forced to leave their farm in Salinas, California and are sent to the Heart Mountain internment camp in the rural plains of Wyoming. The musical began development in 2008 and premiered in September 2012 in San Diego, California. It played on Broadway from October 2015 to February 2016.

The next day, the four were once again seated together at a Broadway show, In the Heights. At intermission, Kuo and Thione approached Takei, curious as to why he had been so emotionally affected by the father's song (\"\"Useless\"\") in which he laments his inability to help his family. Over the course of that intermission, Takei recounted his personal experience as a child in a Japanese internment camp, during World War II, and his own father's sense of helplessness at his inability to protect his family that was mirrored in the song."

"text": "\"West End (London) Broadway Productions Musical Theatre Theatres What is a matinee performance? How do they differ from normal performances?4 Answers Vijay Varman, worked at Musical Theatre Updated Mar 1, 2017 · Author has 417 answers and 2.7m answer views A matinee performance refers to a performance that takes place in the afternoon, though the exact time can vary from show to show. The vast majority of shows have 8 performances a week. 6 of them will usually be in the evening (Mon-Sat) and the remaining 2 are usually matinees (One on a Saturday, the other at some point during the week day) While a matinee performance will usually start in mid-afternoon, say, somewhere between 1pm-4pm, it's not unheard of to have a matinee as late as 5 or 6 pm, which in turn results in pushing back the evening performance to around 8-9:30pm (again, depending on the show.) Generally speaking, matinees tend to be populated by people who may not be able to attend evening shows. One example being the elderly who, from my experience, prefer to be back home before dark. Another group might be people travelling from far away. Since most evening shows tend to end around 10-10:30pm, it can be difficult to find public transport home. By coming to a matinee, transport links are usually still running regular services by the time the show ends. School groups and tourists are, again, people who might otherwise be occupied in the evening and prefer to see the show during the day."

Kevin's early training as an actor came from The Manning Street. His debut as the strict Chip Diller in Animal House (1978) almost seems like an inside joke, but he managed to escape almost unnoticed from that role. Diner (1982) became the turning point after a couple of television series and a number of less-than-memorable movie roles. In a cast of soon-to-be stars, he more than held his end up, and we saw a glimpse of the real lunatic image of The Bacon. He also starred in Footloose (1984), She's Having a Baby (1988), Tremors (1990) with Fred Ward, Flatliners (1990), and Apollo 13 (1995). Bacon is married to actress Kyra Sedgwick, with whom he has 2 children.- IMDb Mini Biography By: < [email protected]>Spouse (1)Kyra Sedgwick ( 4 September 1988 - present) (2 children)Trade Mark (6)Deep resonant voice Frequently plays anti-heroic protagonists Often plays depraved and sadistic villains Often plays supporting characters who have significant impact on leading characters Often appears in large ensemble pieces, leading to the ease of many \"\"six degrees\"\" games Known for playing unconventional and controversial roles in independent films Trivia (36)Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#61). [ 1995]Attended the prestigious Julia Reynolds Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School in Philadelphia with his brother, Michael. Inspired a game called \"\"Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon\"\", whereby people have to link any given actor to him by no more than six steps. For instance, to do Fred Mac Murray, you could observe that Mac Murray worked with Lee Marvin in The Caine Mutiny (1954), which is one step; and Marvin worked with Jane Fonda in Cat Ballou (1965), which is two steps; and Fonda worked with Jack Lemmon in The China Syndrome (1979), which is three steps; and Lemmon worked with Bacon in JFK (1991), which completes the link in four steps."

"text": "\"Richard Rodgers Lydia Hutchinson | June 29, 2012 | 10 Comments So famous are the classic musicals he created as part of not one but two of America’s most celebrated songwriting duos, that his name is rarely heard or seen alone. More commonly it’s linked to the name of one of his lyricist-partners, either Lorenz “Larry” Hart or Oscar Hammerstein, because it’s as the musical half of both Rodgers & Hart as well as Rodgers & Hammerstein that Richard Rodgers is best known. Without him, the Broadway musical as we know it would have been something else entirely; his work forever changed its course. It’s a body of work that is astounding for its greatness and lasting power and also for the sheer volume of it, an output unrivaled by any other Broadway composer: some 40 Broadway musicals (26 with Hart and nine with Hammerstein), one Broadway play, three London musicals (all with Hart), 10 original movie musicals (nine with Hart, one with Hammerstein), two television musicals, the scores for two television documentaries, a ballet, and one nightclub revue. His shows have been performed more than 30,000 times, and it’s said that somewhere in the world the sound of his music is heard on stage every night of the year. The son of a doctor, Richard Rodgers was born on June 22, 1902, in New York. His first two songs, “Dear Old Wigwam” and “Camp-Fire Days,” were written when he was only 14. At 15 he wrote his first full score, for an amateur show called One Minute, Please. And at the age of 16, in 1918, he met and teamed up with Lorenz “Larry” Hart, with whom he shared a passion for expressive, inventive songwriting. Rodgers & Hart were introduced by a mutual friend at New York’s Columbia University."

"text": "\"Threepenny Composer Kurt Weill did not, as most critics would have it, sell out to Broadway after his early Berlin brilliance David Schiff June 2000 Issue Share Tweet…Linked In Email Print Text Size Andrea Ventura MY favorite photograph of Kurt Weill captures the enigmatic quality of his life and music. At a rehearsal for the 1943 show Mary Martin sits atop an upright piano, her shapely legs dangling in front of the composer's face. Weill seems to be somewhere else. Baby-faced and bald, his eyes half closed, he seems to be playing for himself alone. His blank expression could mask humiliation or contempt or delight -- you can't tell. What is this professor doing on Broadway? This year is Kurt Weill's centenary, so the calendar is full of Weill events -- and for once there seems to be a real urgency to the commemorative festivities. Weill remains a cult composer, known mainly for a handful of songs; most of his complete works are rarely performed, and critical opinion is still unsettled. Hearing his works again -- particularly the revelatory early Second Symphony and the overpraised \"\"Broadway opera\"\" -- could restore balance to a reputation long skewed. The standard view of Weill divides his career into two distinct and unequal phases."

Mother's Day recognizes mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well as the positive contributions that they make to society. It was established by Anna Jarvis, with the first official Mother's Day was celebrated at St. Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908. [ 2]Internationally there are a large variety of Mother's Day celebrations with different origins and traditions; but most have now also been influenced by this more recent American tradition. Contents [ hide ]1 History1.1 First attempts to establish a holiday1.2 Establishment of holiday2 Traditions2.1 Carnations2.2 Commercialization2.3 Sports3 See also4 References5 External links History [ edit]First attempts to establish a holiday [ edit]During the 19th century, women's peace groups in the US tried to establish holidays and regular activities in favor of peace and against war. A common early activity was the meeting of groups of mothers whose sons had fought or died on opposite sides of the American Civil War. [ 3]In 1868, Ann Jarvis, mother of Anna Jarvis, created a committee to establish a \"\"Mother's Friendship Day\"\", the purpose of which was \"\"to reunite families that had been divided during the Civil War.\"\" Jarvis – who had previously organized \"\"Mother's Day Work Clubs\"\" to improve sanitation and health for both Union and Confederate encampments undergoing a typhoid outbreak – wanted to expand this into an annual memorial for mothers, but she died in 1905 before the celebration became popular. [ 4] [5] Her daughter, who became almost obsessed with her, would continue her mother's efforts. There were several limited observances in the 1870s and the 1880s but none achieved resonance beyond the local level. [ 4] At the time, Protestant schools in the United States already held many celebrations and observations such as Children's Day, Temperance Sunday, Roll Call Day, Decision Day, Missionary Day and others.

Few activities can come close to matching the wonders and pleasures of having babies, but at the same time the dangers involved, and problems that can arise, are very great. We are not going to try and cover all the basics of animal husbandry here - that's a topic better left to many books on the subject. We are only going to address hedgehog issues. Besides, if you don't know the basics of husbandry and breeding, you should not be considering it - at least not yet. Baby hedgehogs are nothing short of addictively cute. If you think an adult can steal your heart, beware that a mother being followed by a litter of adorable little hoglets is many levels of magnitude cuter. The reason for this warning is that it can be very easy to fall into the trap of breeding just to enjoy the babies. There is an immense responsibility that goes with breeding, and it should not be undertaken lightly - these are living, feeling animals, and that thought must always be at the forefront of your mind. If you are going to breed, make very very sure of the following, first: (1) That you are willing to risk losing the mother due to complications! ("

This is technically true, though it was just my brother and me and he was looking at Facebook and I was reading a profile of Hillary Clinton in the December 2009 issue of Vogue. A hospice nurse had been over a few hours earlier and said my mother was “very imminent”. She was breathing in that slow, irregular way that signals that the end is near. Strangely, I hadn’t noticed it despite listening for the past several weeks (months earlier, when her death sentence had been officially handed down but she was still very much alive, my mother had casually mentioned that she’d noticed this breathing pattern in herself and that I should be prepared to walk into the room and find her gone at any moment) but apparently it was here now and when I reached the third paragraph of the second page of the Hillary Clinton article (this remains imprinted on my brain; I can still see the wrap of the words as my eye scanned the column; I can still see the Annie Leibovitz photo on the previous page) I heard her gasp. Then nothing more. “Mom?” I called out. My brother got off the couch and called her name, too."

Knowing what to look for will help you understand what the hummingbirds are doing and why they are doing it. Baby hummingbirds are hatched out of hummingbird eggs. When a mother hummingbird is laying an egg, she can be seen sitting on her nest and shaking alternated by wiggling every few seconds. Mother hummingbirds will usually have two eggs laid on different days. The little eggs will be about the size of a pea or small jellybean. Even though the eggs will be laid on different days, both the eggs will usually hatch on the same day. The mother hummingbird can do this by not completely starting the incubation process until the second egg is laid. The female hummingbird is the only one who will care for these little eggs. A male hummingbird does not assist with any of the childcare."

With an all-star cast led by Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Kate Hudson, the comedy follows several interconnected characters as they deal with motherhood issues. There's infrequent strong language (\"\"s--t,\"\" \"\"a--hole,\"\" one \"\"f--king\"\") and some racial stereotypes/insensitive comments about Indian characters (like \"\"towelhead\"\" and \"\"darker than a Frapuccino\"\"). There are a few marital kisses and a scantily clad character but no sex scenes, and overall the movie, which promotes strong bonds between mothers and their children, is intended to be a celebration of motherhood.

"text": "A mother and daughter embrace. ( i Stock)While dining at a Philadelphia tearoom owned by her friend John Wanamaker, Anna Jarvis ordered a salad — then dumped it on the floor. Jarvis hated that the food was called “Mother’s Day Salad,” named after a celebration of mothers that she had pioneered years earlier. The strong-willed woman saw it not as an honor, but as an affront to a tradition she held so dear. To her, it was a cheap marketing gimmick to profit off an idea that she considered to be hers, and hers alone. The incident was recounted in a newspaper article published sometime in the early 1900s, years after Jarvis organized the first Mother’s Day service in the country, said Katharine Antolini, a historian who has studied Jarvis and how Mother’s Day became a national holiday. Jarvis spent decades fighting an uphill battle to keep Mother’s Day from becoming the commercialized holiday that it is today. To her, it was simply a day to honor mothers, and she started it to commemorate her own. So when people co-opted her idea for other purposes, Jarvis was incensed. [ The mother who made George Washington — and made him miserable]She started fights, threatened lawsuits, wrote letters to politicians, issued bitter news releases, organized protests, fought with Eleanor Roosevelt, demanded an audience with sitting presidents, among other actions."

Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday, is now a day to honor mothers and other mother figures, such as grandmothers, stepmothers and mothers-in-law. Many people make a special effort to visit their mother. They take cards and gifts to her and may treat her to brunch, lunch or high tea in a cafe, restaurant or hotel. People who cannot visit their mother usually send gifts or cards to her. An important part of Mothering Sunday is giving cards and gifts.

Our aim is to spread both knowledge and devotion about the oldest form of religion known to humanity—the worship of Deity in Her original form: our first spiritual refuge; our surest sanctuary throughout the ages; our point of origin: our Mother God. We shall be presenting pages about the various goddesses of history: but this has nothing to do with what some patriarchal religions call \"\"polytheism\"\". There is only one Absolute, only one Creatrix: only one Celestial Mother. And yet, through the Ages, She has been known by many Names. These many names are not simply the accidents of different languages, but the expression of the Multiplicity-in-Unity of She Who is the Source of all things, the Divine Mother of the universe. Thus the Hindus recite the thousand names of the goddess Lalita or the 108 names of Sri Mahalakshmi; the Chinese speak of Quan Yin as \"\"the Lady of ten thousand names\"\" and the goddess Isis said to Apuleius in the second century AD: I am she that is the natural Mother of all creation, the Mistress and Governess of all the Elements, the initial Progenitrix of all things... my name, my divinity, is adored throughout all the world in various manners, by various customs and under many names... There is one Mother God, for She is the Absolute, and there can no more be two Absolutes than a circle can have two centres. And yet She has many Names and many faces, representing Her infinite fecundity and the multiplicity of her Divine Powers and Graces. Her different Names and Forms also correspond to the different characters of the souls She has created. Each of us will respond to a particular aspect of our dear Mother."

Unfortunately, they’re often words that come to mind when tasting moderately-priced red wine vinegar that we’ve bought at the store. Even more disappointing is that immoderately-priced bottles aren’t often much better. This isn’t the case with balsamic vinegar – we’re willing to splurge now and then on a bottle of good balsamic imported from Italy because we know we can’t replicate the smooth, syrupy results at home. But red wine vinegar is a different story. By taking matters into your own hands, you can make red wine vinegar that is often much better than what you can buy. Better yet, the whole process is much easier than you might think. It does, however, require patience. About two months from start to finish. In fact, we’re currently waiting for a batch to reach maturity and find ourselves eagerly ticking off the days until we can whisk it into vinaigrette."

The word is a common word used in households, and it is especially prevalent because today is Mother’s Day. Speaking of which, anybody ever wonder where the word mother came from? There are hundreds of languages in the Earth, but the word mother is strikingly similar even in different languages. In English, it is obviously mother. In Spanish, it is called madre. In German, it is called mutter. In Chinese, it’s pronounced mama, and in Korean, it is pronounced um-ma. It seems that the m-word is very common among mother in different languages. So where did the word mother originate from?"

"text": "\"A Nun's Testimony By Sister Charlotte Keckler I was reared in a devout Roman Catholic home and, although our home contained many religious items, we never had a Bible there. Consequently, I never heard of God's wonderful plan of salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus. No one ever explained to me that I only had to invite Him into my heart and ask Him to save me from all my sins to be born again (Revelation 3:20). Instead, I only knew what I was taught in the catechisms and in the institution which we attended faithfully. I had a deep love and devotion to the God I did not really know personally and I yearned to give my life to Him completely. According to the teaching I received, the way to do this was to become a nun and enter a convent. My parish priest pressed this idea on me as did the nuns who taught in my parochial school. How well I remember the day two nuns from my school accompanied me home. The parish priest joined them there for a conference with my father and mother. In my family, children did not interrupt grown-ups but asked to speak."

To accurately measure the fundal height, the bladder must be empty to avoid elevation of the uterus. The nurse identifies crepitus when examining the chest of a newborn who was delivered vaginally. Which further assessment should the nurse perform? The most common neonatal birth trauma due to a vaginal delivery is fracture of the clavicle. Although an infant may be asymptomatic, a fractured clavicle should be suspected if an infant has limited use of the affected arm, malposition of the arm, an asymmetric Moro reflex, crepitus over the clavicle, focal swelling or tenderness, or cries when the arm is moved. One hour after giving birth to an 8-pound infant, a client's lochia rubra has increased from small to large and her fundus is boggy despite massage. The client's pulse is 84 beats/minute and blood pressure is 156/96. The healthcare provider prescribes Methergine 0.2 mg IM × 1. What action should the nurse take immediately?"

"text": "Maternity leave Here you can find out the basics about maternity leave for:employees in the Belgian system; andself-employed mothers ('mères indépendantes' / 'zelfstandige moeders') in the Belgian system You can also read about some special situations, such as how it may be possible to extend your maternity leave if your baby has to stay in hospital after the birth, or how maternity leave may be converted to paternity leave if the mother is hospitalised after the birth. Employees in the Belgian system Length of leave You are entitled to 15 weeks maternity leave (19 weeks in the case of a multiple birth). This is divided into ‘prenatal’ and ‘postnatal’ leave. Prenatal leave: one week of maternity leave is considered as obligatory prenatal leave, and can only be taken before the birth. You can start your maternity leave a maximum of 6 weeks (8 weeks for multiples) before the expected due date. If your baby is born early and you had not taken one week of maternity leave prior to the birth, you essentially ‘lose’ this week of leave, as your maternity leave is still calculated as having started one week before the birth. Note: any sick days taken during the 6 weeks (8 weeks for multiples) before the due date are considered as part of your maternity leave, even if the reason for the absence is unrelated to the pregnancy. However, any office closures or bank holidays during this period (i.e. when you are off work through no fault of your own) are not considered as part of your maternity leave. Postnatal leave: with the exception of the one obligatory week of prenatal leave and any other maternity leave you took before the birth, you simply use the remainder of your maternity leave after your baby is born. Nine of these weeks are mandatory postnatal leave."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Nonfarm payroll employment is a compiled name for goods, construction and manufacturing companies in the US. It does not include farm workers, private household employees, or non-profit organization employees. It is an influential statistic and economic indicator released monthly by the United States Department of Labor as part of a comprehensive report on the state of the labor market. The financial assets most affected by the nonfarm payroll (NFP) data include the US dollar, equities [1] [2] and gold. [ 3] The markets react very quickly and most of the time in a very volatile fashion around the time the NFP data is released. The short-term market moves indicate that there is a very strong correlation between the NFP data and the strength of the US dollar. Historical price movement data shows a small negative correlation between the NFP data and the US dollar Index. [ 4]The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases preliminary data on the third Friday after the conclusion of the reference week, i.e., the week which includes the 12th of the month, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time; [5] typically this date occurs on the first Friday of the month. Nonfarm payroll is included in the monthly Employment Situation or informally the jobs report and affects the US dollar, the Foreign exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market. The figure released is the change in nonfarm payrolls (NFP), compared to the previous month, and is usually between +10,000 and +250,000 during non-recessional times."

Hess, Michael Sauter and Samuel Weigley, 24/7 Wall St. Published 8:03 a.m. ET July 27, 2013 | Updated 4:41 p.m. ET July 27, 2013 (Photo: Dennis Macdonald, Getty Images)Story Highlights'Big Sky Country' is tops, with low unemployment, strong jobs growth Aloha State jobless benefits more than $422 a week on average Still nearly 12 million active job seekers nationwide who cannot find work CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREAs a result of the sequester, which went into effect in early 2013 to help cut the U. S. budget deficit, a federal program intended to lengthen the amount of time jobless residents can receive unemployment benefits will be substantially reduced. Cutting Emergency Unemployment Compensation will mean an end to an important source of income for many out-of-work Americans. Unemployment rates have fallen nationwide, but there are still nearly 12 million active job seekers who cannot find work. While unemployment is rarely a favorable situation, in certain parts of the country the unemployed can expect to find a job more easily because of a favorable job market, or at least receive good benefits. In other areas, job growth is slow, competition is high and benefits are relatively poor. Based on unemployment insurance benefits data and employment statistics, 24/7 Wall St. identified the states where residents had the best chances of finding work and also received the best benefits while they were looking for it. One of the biggest indicators of how difficult it is to find work is the unemployment rate. A low jobless rate in a given state usually means the area's economy is doing relatively well, competition is limited and workers have the skills necessary to qualify for available jobs. In all the best states to be unemployed, the unemployment rate was well below the national rate of 7.6% for June. In North Dakota, one of the best states to be unemployed, just 3.1% of the workforce did not have a job."

D., regional labor economist - updated October 2017Overview | Geographic facts | Outlook | Labor force and unemployment | Industry employment | Wages and income | Population | Useful links | PDF Profile copy Overview Regional context Skagit County, located in northwest Washington, is situated between Whatcom County to the north and Snohomish County to the south. The Salish Sea lies to the west and the Cascade Mountains rise to the east. The Skagit River runs through the largest population centers of the county. Although most of Skagit County is continental, several islands in the Salish Sea are also considered part of Skagit County. Skagit County ranges in elevation from sea level to a high point of 9,114 feet at the non-volcanic peak, Mount Buckner. Glacier Peak, located in neighboring Snohomish County, is noted by the U. S. Geologic Survey as one of the “most active and explosive of Washington’s volcanoes.” Glacier Peak shaped the geography of the Skagit River valley through tremendous mud and debris flows (lahars) that have at times traveled well over 100 miles to reach the Salish Sea. Skagit County is designated as the Mount Vernon – Anacortes Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and is a part of the broadest Combined Statistical Area (CSA) for the Seattle region. Locally, Skagit County is best known for its agriculture, however in 2016 the U. S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that manufacturing was the largest contributor to county real gross domestic product (GDP)."

"text": "Overview | Geographic facts | Outlook | Labor force and unemployment | Industry employment | Wages and Income | Population Overview Regional context King County’s current boundaries situate it between Puget Sound to the west and the crest line of the Cascade Range to the east. It borders Snohomish County to the north and Pierce County to the south. King County is very geographically diverse, with points at sea level and a high point of nearly 8,000 feet. The human geography of King County is also diverse; characterized by high-density urbanization along the shores of Puget Sound, suburban communities to the east of Lake Washington, rural communities to the southeast and remote towns in the Cascade foothills. There are 39 towns and cities located in King County. King County and Seattle, the county seat, are the most populous county and city in Washington state, respectively. King County ranks 11th in the state in terms of total land area and first in the state for population density. Local economy European-American settlement of the area now known as King County began in the 1840s. Natural resources—especially timber--played a major role in King County’s early history. Maritime trade spurred the development and growth of Seattle, which was established in 1869."

"text": "Everyday Money Amazon Here's Exactly How Amazon Prime Sharing Is Changing An unanticipated problem was encountered, check back soon and try again Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_UNKNOWNSession ID: 2018-04-11:9877010819ba825bb4c785fa Player ID: jumpstart_video_1OKBy Susie Poppick August 5, 2015Lots of people share Amazon Prime accounts, whether through a roommate or parent ( sometimes one and the same ), or friend or significant other or neighbor’s orthodontist’s husband. Now the company is tightening its rules about just how many people can officially enjoy the benefits of one $99 Amazon account, which previously allowed Prime members to share the online retailer’s two-day free shipping feature with four other adults. Amazon is now saying that only two adults in one “household” can share an account. Profiles for up to four children can also be added, but those won’t come with distinct login credentials. Parents can create a “family library” that lets each child set up a personalized collection of books and movies, a spokeswoman said. Still, the change isn’t actually as restrictive as it sounds. People currently registered to use friends’ accounts for two-day shipping are grandfathered in—at least until the accounts come up for renewal. And people who already share with just one person will actually see new benefits beyond free deliveries. Unlike before, joint-account holders will now also be able to share access to Amazon Prime streaming video and Kindle books. ( The catch, however, is that you’ll have to be comfortable authorizing the other person to use your saved credit and debit card information. )"

"text": "What is 'Payroll'Payroll is the sum total of all compensation a business must pay to its employees for a set period of time or on a given date. It is usually managed by the accounting department of a business; small-business payrolls may be handled directly by the owner or an associate. Payroll can also refer to the list of employees of a business and the amount of compensation due to each of them. It is a major expense for most businesses and is almost always deductible as such. Payroll can differ from one pay period to another due to overtime, sick pay and other variables. Next Up Payroll Tax Nonfarm Payroll Split Payroll Key Employee BREAKING DOWN 'Payroll'Many medium- and large-sized companies contract outside payroll services to streamline the process. Employers keep track of the number of hours each employee worked and relay this information to the payroll service. On payday, the payroll service calculates the gross amount the employee is owed based on the number of hours or weeks the employee worked during the pay period and his pay rate. The service deducts taxes and other withholdings from earnings, and then provides a direct deposit to the employee's bank account or a paper check. Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Professional Payroll Services Professional payroll services offer many benefits and a few disadvantages."

A \"\"discouraged worker\"\" is a sub-category of the larger \"\"marginally attached\"\" worker category. A \"\"marginally attached\"\" worker is a currently unemployed person who has looked for a job sometime in the past 12 months. In addition, they would very much like a job, but have decided to use this time to brush up on their education, deal with family issues, etc. The \"\"discouraged worker\"\" is a subset of the \"\"marginally attached\"\" worker. The \"\"discouraged worker\"\" is somebody who has completely given up on finding a job due to the job market. The discouraged worker has stopped looking for work because they have had absolutely no success in the recent past finding a job, and figure that they are better off not wasting their time trying to find a job, because their prospects are just that poor. The discouraged worker, believe it or not, is not included in the government's \"\"official\"\" unemployment number. They are, however, included in the U-6 unemployment figure, which is a broader measure of labor underutilization that includes those who have part-time jobs that would like full-time work, as well as \"\"marginally attached\"\" and \"\"discouraged workers\"\"."

If your donkey is ill, obese, old, a young foal, or a nursing mother, you will need to supplement the following information with feeding recommendations found in the References section. Providing a donkey with a healthy diet is one of the most important responsibilities of donkey ownership. To fully appreciate the nutritional needs and requirements of donkeys, it is helpful to know their origins. Donkeys evolved in the arid dessert conditions of Africa, where they existed on a high fibre diet of dry and sparse vegetation. They are browsers, walking for miles slowly eating small amounts of the coarse vegetation as they wander. Donkeys’ natural food consists of coarse dry grass and roughage, which can include leaves, woody herbs, thick- stemmed plants, branches, bark, twigs, thistles, blackberry, and other varieties of plants and non-grass species. Donkeys and horses have differences in both digestive physiology and metabolism. Donkeys need more fibre and less protein than horses do. Feeding a donkey on a high–quality, high-calorie diet (including treats) appropriate for a horse can have serious health implications, or be lethal, for the donkey."

Pollen is fine powder-like material consisting of pollen grains that are produced by the anthers of seed plants or Microspore's of seed plants carried by wind or insects prior to fertilization. Pollen is omnipresent (present everywhere simultaneously) and wafts through the air we breathe. If inhaled, pollen may trigger allergic reactions such as Rhinitis, Hayfever or Sinusitis. There are many types of pollen but the most common pollen types found in America are Grass and Tree pollen. Tree and grass pollen are the most common triggers of Sinusitis and Allergies. Grass Pollen Common or popular types of grass pollen which can affect your sinuses are: Sweet vernal grass is mostly found in Europe, Northern Asia, Japan, North western Africa and North America. Bermuda grass originates in India and it's mostly found in much of Europe though not Scandinavia, in Ireland, Poland, South Africa, Australia, India, USA and Japan.

Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii cause Lyme disease in the United States, while Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the leading causes of Lyme disease in Europe and Asia. The most common tick-borne illness in these regions, Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected black-legged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. You're more likely to get Lyme disease if you live or spend time in grassy and heavily wooded areas where ticks carrying the disease thrive. It's important to take common-sense precautions in areas where ticks are prevalent. Symptoms The signs and symptoms of Lyme disease vary and usually appear in stages. Early signs and symptoms A small, red bump often appears at the site of a tick bite or tick removal and resolves over a few days. This is normal after a tick bite and does not indicate Lyme disease. However, these signs and symptoms may occur within a month after you've been infected: Rash. From 3 to 30 days after an infected tick bite, an expanding red area might appear that sometimes clears in the center, forming a bull’s-eye pattern."

"text": "\"Fast Facts Allergies are reactions of your immune system to one or more things in the environment. The immune system is your body's defense system. In allergic reactions, however, it is responding to a false alarm. Pollens and mold spores can cause seasonal allergies. Allergies from pollens and molds can cause runny and blocked noses, sneezing, nose and eye itching, runny and red eyes rashes, or asthma. Allergies typically make you feel bad.—Source: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Allergic reactions occur when the body wrongly defends itself against something that is not dangerous. A healthy immune system defends against invading bacteria and viruses. During allergic reactions, however, the immune system fights harmless materials, such as pollen or mold, with production of a special class of antibody called immunoglobulin E (Ig E). Treat respiratory allergy with antihistamines, topical nasal steroids, cromolyn sodium, decongestants, or immunotherapy. ( See page 24 for details . )"

"text": "Laminitis – Causes, Clinical Signs, Management and Prevention By Tania Cubitt, Ph D, January 16, 2012 Categories: Articles, Laminitis 2Laminitis is quite unlike any other equine disease. Laminitis is a complex cascade of events that causes the soft tissues (laminae) within the hoof to swell, weaken and die. This can all occur before any symptoms are apparent and once the process has started it is extremely difficult to stop. In severe cases it is likely to leave behind a permanent reminder: founder, which is an internal deformity of the hoof occurring when the supporting laminae loosens it grip and allows the coffin bone to rotate downwards. What actually is laminitis? Let’s start with the term laminitis – it literally means an inflammation of the laminae of the horse’s foot. Laminae refer to the insensitive and sensitive tissue that is located between your horse’s hoof wall and coffin bone. The laminae are tiny finger like structures that interlock and secure the coffin bone to the hoof wall and keep the bone in place. If your horse’s blood flow to these laminae is disrupted, inflammation occurs that weakens the laminae structures and interferes with the hoof wall to bone bond making the laminae unable to hold the coffin bone in place. That is exactly what laminitis is – an inflammation of the laminae."

Lyme disease is an infection caused by borrelia, a type of bacteria called a spirochaete. Lyme disease can affect any part of the body, most commonly skin, central nervous system, joints, heart, rarely eyes and liver. Lyme disease is common in parts of the United States (particularly in Massachusetts) and in Europe, but is reported from many areas of the world. In New Zealand and Australia, cases have only been confirmed in people that have recently travelled from an endemic area. Lyme disease is also called Lyme borreliosis.

Help us identify the species of ticks and determine the risk for tick-borne disease in your region. Any tick you find on yourself or pets, safely remove and place it in a container with a few blades of grass. Fill out the Tick Identification Submission Form (PDF) and follow the shipping instructions. You will be notified of what tick species it is. Ticks are small blood-feeding parasites that can transmit diseases to people. Some types of ticks perch on the edge of low-lying vegetation and grab onto animals, and people, as they brush past. Other ticks are associated with rodents and their nests and may only come out at night to feed. Once aboard, ticks crawl until they find a good spot to feed, then burrow their mouthparts into the skin for a blood meal. Their bodies slowly enlarge to accommodate the amount of blood ingested."

Gallbladder removal is the most common surgery performed in North America. Every year, more than half a million people in the U. S. and over 50,000 in Canada undergo surgery to remove their gallbladders because of painful gallstones. Approximately 80% of all gallstones show no symptoms and may remain ‘silent’ for years. Once symptoms arise, they persist and increase in frequency. The most common triggers for gallbladder attacks are caffeine, chocolate, eggs, dairy products (especially ice cream) and greasy or deep fried foods. Symptoms may include right upper quadrant abdominal discomfort or sharp pain, gas, or fullness after a heavy meal. The pain can also spread to the chest, shoulder, neck or back. In addition to these symptoms, stones expelled from the gallbladder during contraction may become lodged within the bile duct, leading to infection. Different approaches to gallbladder problems in conventional medicine all carry unwanted risks."

"text": "\"Home »Lawn What Kind of Grass Should I Plant for My Indoor Cat? By Audrey Pannell; Updated September 21, 2017Cats sometimes eat houseplants to ease cravings. Cats that live in the wild ingest plant materials from the digestive tract of their prey. This may lead non-hunting cats to crave plant materials. Other theories suggest that cats simply enjoy the feel of plant material or ingest it to remove hair balls. Indoor cats may attempt to eat houseplants, but some are toxic. Replacing houseplants with an edible grass cats enjoy eliminates the dangers of poisoning. Cat Grass Cat grass is a type of cereal grass that can be grown indoors and fed to cats. Cat grass is typically grown from wheat, rye, oat or barley seeds, or a combination, such as wheat and oat. Cat grass kits or seeds can be purchased from some pet supply stores and farmers markets."

Seattle guitar wizard, Ayron Jones celebrated his birthday with an opening slot at the festival as the first of thirteen bands to play. There were two stages for the event, including the main stage under the amphitheater. The lines for beer, food, and merchandise were long throughout the day, and the crowds were entertained by music, the occasional scantily clad fan, and the totally normal fans who came dressed in banana suits. As for the music, it was exceptionally rockin’. The line-up, which was announced in stages months ago, was quite appealing for fans as all 16,000+ tickets (including all of the higher priced VIP experience) sold out. The smaller (Another Century) stage not only gave fans an opportunity to see and hear the bands play in a closer proximity to a stage, they also offered up meet & greet opportunities to those willing to stand in line near a tent adjacent to the stage. The newly formed, local band Varsity Week played the first set followed by Auckland New Zealand’s Like A Storm. They began their performance with lead singer Chris Brooks busting out a didgeridoo solo before playing music off their newest CD release Awaken The Fire. They also had the longest meet & greet line after their set."

"text": "ALKALIZING WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE AND POTASSIUM CITRATEPosted by Galactic Connection | Dec 16, 2015 | Daily Blog | 0 |Health Science Spirit Our metabolism works best when the lymph fluid is slightly acid while the blood is always slightly alkaline. If the diet is deficient in minerals or the cellular energy production is inefficient, and produces much lactic acid instead of oxidizing nutrients to carbon dioxide and water, then the body gradually becomes too acid. This leads to loss of minerals and inflammations with pain and oversensitivity. Chronic inflammations cause most of the discomfort and health deterioration associated with chronic diseases. The most common conditions associated with inflammations are infections and Candida problems, autoimmune diseases, including arthritis, and cancer. To reduce and eventually stop destructive inflammations the body needs to be alkalized. This is best done with mineral-rich vegetables, especially green leaf-vegetables and green protein powders such as spirulina, chlorella, and wheat grass or barley grass powder. However, until the inflammation is under control it is often helpful or necessary to use in addition alkalizing remedies such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium citrate. Both are ‘natural’ as the body produces large amounts of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the stomach acid when it enters the intestines, and potassium citrate is the strongest alkalizing agent in citrus fruit. When you dissolve sodium bicarbonate in water it is more alkaline than potassium citrate but inside the body potassium citrate becomes a stronger alkalizer."

( and grass is very good too!) It keeps them healthy and helps them function in a number of ways, the main ones being: Hay keeps the gut moving Hay is made up of long fibres that help the muscles of the bunny's gut stay strong. A rabbit's complex digestive system means they need to constantly snack on hay throughout the day to keep things moving inside, and help prevent blockages (eg. from fur or things they've eaten - rabbits seem to have little concept of what they can and cannot digest!) Blockages can often be fatal. If a rabbit doesn't eat enough hay then this can slow down the rabbit's intestinal functions and cause serious problems eg. GI Stasis (see below). Chewing hay grinds their ever-growing teeth down to a safe level Rabbits' teeth continually grow, including all of their back ones (did you know rabbits have 28 teeth?!)"

Bleeding from the birth canal before 20 weeks is called a threatened abortion or miscarriage. The bleeding may or may not have abdominal pain associated with it. The blood loss may be brown spotting, blood stained discharge or bright red bleeding. The amount of bleeding is proportional to the risk of miscarriage, the greater the bleeding the greater the risk of miscarriage (Beischer & Mackay, 1998). Abdominal pain associated with the bleeding is not considered a good sign. Around one in four women will experience vaginal bleeding in the first three months of pregnancy. Of these women 70-80% will continue their pregnancies to full term (Bennett & Brown, 1993). Is there anything I can do to help prevent the threatened miscarriage becoming a miscarriage?

When Does Conception Occur? Knowing when you conceived can help you decide when to take a pregnancy test. The date of conception is based on your period. For most women, they can count back about fourteen days from the day their period is supposed to start; that mid-way point in the cycle is usually when they conceived. Most women can’t be entirely sure of when they conceived, however. The only way to get a good idea is to use ovulation tests. These tests will give you a positive result during the 24-48 hour window when you are ovulating. How Soon After Conception Do You Have Pregnancy Symptoms?"

"text": "\"What is a chemical pregnancy? Pregnancy Your 9 months Wait To Wee18Your doctor may have told you that you’ve had a chemical pregnancy. What does this mean? A chemical pregnancy is actually a very early miscarriage, which takes place before anything can be seen on an ultrasound scan – usually around the fifth week that you are pregnant. It means that a sperm has fertilised your egg, but later on, the egg fails to survive. So why did I get a positive pregnancy test?“Even this early on in pregnancy there is a change in hormone levels which allows the pregnancy test to turn positive,” explains GP Philippa Kaye. The hormone that your test measures is known as h CG, or human chorionic gonadotrophin. “In a chemical pregnancy, or very early miscarriage, the test is initially positive but then your period may start, or a further pregnancy test is negative. “The reason it is termed a chemical pregnancy is that it is only the missed period and positive pregnancy test that show that you are pregnant. It would be too early to see anything on an ultrasound scan."

"text": "\"Positive thinking is positively bad for you so always look on the glum slide of life By Virginia Ironside for Mail Online Updated: 04:49 EDT, 16 October 200941View comments There's an ad for Volkswagen being shown in cinemas at the moment. A good-looking man is driving an elegant car; in the background the soundtrack plays a song saying: 'With positive thinking, life won't let you down. ' Harmless enough, you may think, but what makes the advertisement suddenly sickening is when the car passes a load of sheep on their way to the abattoir - they are all nodding their heads cheerfully in time to the music. Yes, I know it's a joke, but there is still the implication that if you look on the bright side you, too, will be able to have a glamorous VW like the man in the ad, and, even if you're on your way to be slaughtered, a positive mind-set will make that jolly, too. Sickness: Cancer cannot be fought with positive thoughts alone It won't. Indeed, this pre-occupation with thinking positively, with self-esteem and with the conviction that our thoughts somehow shape our futures is actually a dangerous obsession that leads not to happiness and fulfilment but rather disappointment and failure. A new book has just come out in America called Bright-Sided: How The Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America. In it, the author Barbara Ehrenreich, a sociologist, actually goes so far as to consider whether positive thinking, in its most extreme forms, might have been partly responsible for the financial crash in the U. S. She suspects this because positive thinking and undue optimism has taken such a hold of America that anyone who dares to say: 'Hold on a moment! Is what we're doing really right?' is deemed a 'toxic' nay-sayer."

Unless, of course, you are one of the very few women who experience a false positive pregnancy test result. It’s not common, but it does happen. A false positive pregnancy test can mean several things. What Is A False Positive Pregnancy Test? Before getting into that, it’s imperative that you know what a false positive test is. It is an at-home pregnancy test that tells you that you are pregnant when you are not pregnant. Unfortunately, it’s often very difficult to know whether or not you are experiencing a false positive pregnancy test result. If you’ve been trying and you see a positive result, you think you are pregnant."

So thanking the people we're grateful to increases happiness all round. One of the ways gratitude does us good is by helping us to build our relationships with other people, which makes them and us happier. Science shows that gratitude increases how willing we are to help and forgive others, which helps us all get along. Gratitude also helps us feel valued which is a basic human need. We all have it. But sometimes we don't realise that we've had a positive impact on someone else, so it feels good to know. What's more this has a knock-on effect. If we know that others have valued what we've done, we are more likely to do it again, so other people benefit."

"text": "\"8 ways to raise your vibration (your positive energy)By Amy Crawford Originally written in November of 2014, I've chosen to share this post again, in light of a common 'theme' in my therapy practise this week. These words from a client sum it up : \"\"I look at others around me and things just seem to work for them, things fall into place, they just seem to have so much luck. I don't appear to have that same luck. \"\" My personal opinion is that in most instances, it is not about luck. It is about energy, our personal power, our ability to attract into our life that which we manifest, that we deserve and feel worthy of. A few years ago my vibration was so low I was flat on the floor (with CFS). I felt totally and utterly stuck with no idea how to move forward (from my corporate career). I was filled with a whole host of limiting beliefs that were holding me back no end. I seemed to be attracting people into my life who often left me feeling anxious, who felt 'toxic' if you like. Fast forward a few years (and a life transforming CTC treatment) and I have my health back; I have an amazing new career doing a bit of everything I love; I have freed myself of the fear and limiting beliefs (freeing myself of the fear of public speaking was up there as one of the most exciting 'releases') ; and I've a whole host of new and amazing friendships."

"text": "Taking A Pregnancy Test After Implantation You might calculate your cycles, chart your body temperature, watch for symptoms of ovulation, and search endlessly for signs of implantation bleeding. There’s not much women don’t do when it comes to becoming pregnant. Once you make the decision to become a mother your life turns into a daily science experiment. You want to become pregnant right away and so you often forget to just relax and enjoy the fun that goes along with becoming pregnant. One of the things many women do when trying to become pregnant is check for something called implantation bleeding after ovulation as a potential sign of pregnancy. Pregnancy Test After Implantation Taking a pregnancy test after implantation is typically how most women find out they’re pregnant. However, if you take it too soon after implantation, you might not get the results you want for a few more days. The simple fact is that implantation is not something you can pinpoint accurately in most cases. While implantation bleeding does happen to some women, it doesn’t typically mean that a positive pregnancy test is likely to occur right away. Implantation bleeding is something that happens when your fertilized egg implants itself into the wall of your uterus."

On a show where both the Intercontinental and Divas Titles were up for grabs (neither title changed hands), the WWE Universe tuned in to give USA Network something to smile about. This week’s Smackdown drew a 1.93 cable rating, which meant an audience of 2.76 million viewers. It was the most watched episode of Smackdown since the week following Wrestle Mania 31 last year. Obviously the move to the USA Network from Syfy played a big part in that because it’s a bigger channel, but they also made a significant change with the announcers too.30 years in the making for Mauro Ranallo: Smack Down Fallout, January 7, 2016Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Ranallo, who is a veteran Combat Sports announcer that WWE hired last month, called the action with Jerry Lawler and Byron Saxton. Ranallo, who is 46, noted that it was 30 years in the making because he started calling matches as a teenager. In a post Smackdown interview with WWE.com he said this is what he’s always wanted: “Since I was five years old I’ve wanted to work with WWE as a commentator. ”What made Ranallo stand out from the other announcers in WWE is that he was allowed to call moves the way that a wrestling announcer should be able to."

Kurt Angle responds to Conor Mc Gregor Olympic gold medalist–and legendary professional wrestler–Kurt Angle was not amused by Conor Mc Gregor’s insults aimed at WWE’s wrestlers. “Conor is either the most loved or the most hated fighter in UFC, and that’s a credit to him,” said Angle. “ But to cross over into another career, into pro wrestling–something you don’t even know–and call WWE wrestlers “p------”? That’s offensive. Don’t talk about someone you don’t know. ”Mc Gregor told Sports Illustrated last Friday, “For the most part, WWE guys are p------.”Angle believes Mc Gregor was simply working his self-hype machine before his upcoming fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 202. In reality, Angle explained, Mc Gregor would be tested in the Octagon by WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler. “Dolph Ziggler was a great amateur wrestler,” said Angle. “ If he trained for six months, Dolph could give Conor a good run for his money."

"text": "USA is about to flip WWE fans’ expectations for one of the wrestling programs it airs every week.“ Smackdown ,” which moved to the NBCUniversal-owned outlet from sister Syfy in January, will be broadcast live for two hours every week starting Tuesday, July 19, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., resulting in five hours of live WWE programming on the network each week. “There is a huge appetite among our viewers for live programming and the ability to move ‘ Smackdown ’ to a live format brings a new level of excitement and helps truly eventize this every week,” said Chris Mc Cumber, president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, in a prepared statement. The move reflects a growing desire by TV networks to find more ways to air content that needs to be seen as it airs, rather than days or weeks later via a DVR or video on demand. Networks like NBC and Fox have turned live broadcasts of favorite Broadway plays into high-rated events, and many broadcast and cable outlets have placed more emphasis on securing rights to top sports events like the Olympics or the NCAA men’s basketball championships. Related'The Sinner' Renewed by USA for Season 2TV News Roundup: Showtime to Make Opiod Crisis Docu-Series 'The Trade' Available for Free Viewers who tune in to these live “spectaculars” can’t zap the commercials that support the programs, and marketers seem willing to pay a premium to appear in such stuff. Last season, NBC even ran a live, weekly program in which Neil Patrick Harris attempted zany stunts, did musical numbers and clowned around with celebrity guests. With the three-hour “Raw” airing on Monday, USA will feature five hours of live WWE wrestling each week. Both programs will air live 52 weeks a year. The debut of a live “Smackdown” comes as two of the WWE’s biggest attractions, John Cena and Seth Rollins, are returning to competition from injuries."

He and his brother began training together as wrestlers under Scott Casey, debuting in 1989 in the WWA, where they spent three prosperous years learning the ropes. It was during this time that Bobby supposedly had some problems with the law, as he was arrested for aiding in the robbery of a Wendy's that he had been working at. Fortunately for Bobby, things were worked out, as the brothers continued their wrestling career. GWFBobby and Lance moved on to the Global Wrestling Federation in the early '90s, where they became known as the Ebony Experience. The duo quickly were successful, defeating Gary Young and Stevie Dane in July '92. They only held the belts for a week, though, before losing the gold to the Blackbirds (Action Jackson & King Parsons). The Ebony Experience returned a month later to reclaim the titles, then held them a little longer, before dropping them to Johnny Mantrell & Black Bart. Booker T then took some time off for a knee injury, while Stevie Ray won the GWF North American Title. When Booker T returned, the two continued their winning ways, defeating Bad Breed to become the first 3-time GWF Tag-Team Champions."

The population was 16,487 at the 2010 census. [ 1] The town is located 43 miles (69 km) northeast of New York City, making it part of the New York metropolitan area. Brookfield was first settled in 1710 by John Muirwood, as well as other colonial founders including Hawley, Peck and Merwin. They bartered for the land from the Wyantenuck Nation and the Pootatuck nation who were ruled under the Sachem Waramaug and Pocono. The purchase of the southern portion of town involved the current municipal center where sachem Pocono then had his village and lived in an enormous palisade along the Still River. Eventually, when the town was settled, it was first established as the Parish of Newbury, which incorporated parts of neighboring Newtown and Danbury. The town of Brookfield was established in 1788. It was named after the first minister of the parish's Congregational church, Reverend Thomas Brooks."

"text": "\"Quotes • Headscratchers • Playing With • Useful Notes • Analysis • Image Links • Haiku • Laconic\"\"A good roadie knows that it's his job to make someone else look good, keep someone else safe, help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight, if he's doing his job right, you don't even know he was there. Once in a while, they might step on stage to fix a problem, to set something right, but then before you realize why he was there, or what he did, he's gone. \"\"— Eddie Riggs, Brütal Legend The underling who is much smarter, more efficient and more industrious than their (usually totally incompetent) boss, and is the one actually responsible for anything that gets done in the workplace. Despite the fact that they work their butt off for little pay and no credit, this person is generally pretty happy the way things are. If you're looking for a character that would rather not be in this position, that's the Beleaguered Assistant (though there's probably some overlap). If they or the incompetent boss aren't the lead character, they'll often use their skills and position in order to help the lead character out. If their incompetent boss is the Big Bad, they're his right hand and act in the opposite manner to The Starscream even though they may have plenty of motivation to be one. They are often known for appearing right before they are called, always with whatever they were going to be asked to bring. The greatest danger to the Hypercompetent Sidekick is having a boss who is too stupid."

"text": "Why Renaissance? Why Florence? Jon Cook identifies the mix of factors that helps explain the Florentine Renaissance. Jon Cook | Published in History Review Issue 47 December 2003When Edmund Blackadder memorably lamented, ‘Baldrick, to you the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people’, it was probably the citizens of Florence to whom he was referring. For nowhere else were the ingredients that enabled the Renaissance to flourish – a politically-active citizenry, a vigorous humanist movement and abundant wealth – better blended. It is these ingredients, in Italy in general and in Florence in particular, that are the subject of this essay. Politics Politically, Italy was different from the rest of Europe. Whereas elsewhere monarchs ruled their kingdoms as God’s representatives on earth, most of the Italian peninsula (Naples and the Papal States were exceptions) consisted of city-states in which power was shared between a greater or lesser number of the inhabitants. Political life was therefore a good deal more complicated in Florence, Milan, Venice, Siena, and their like than it was in the feudal world of oath-making and obligation.

You may be alarmed to hear this-yet your achievement of their \"\"other\"\" purpose may very well be the most important part of your education. For every writing assignment has, at the least, these two other purposes: To teach you to state your case and prove it in a clear, appropriate, and lively manner To teach you to structure your thinking. Consequently, all expository writing, in which you formulate a thesis and attempt to prove it, is an opportunity to practice rigorous, focused thinking habits that can result not only in better papers, but in sharper analytical skills across the board. This TIP Sheet addresses the following steps common to any kind of non-fiction writing: Choosing a subject. Limiting your subject. Crafting a thesis statement. Identifying supporting arguments. Revising your thesis. Writing strong topic sentences that support the thesis."

E. they crossed the Rhine moved into Toxandria, the Southern Netherlands (modern Belgium) and the German Rhineland. By the 6th century, the Franks had expanded to Lorraine, the Palatinate and Hesse. The Franks were divided in several tribes, such as the Salian Franks in Flanders (including French Flanders) and Zealand, the Mosan Franks in Wallonia, Luxembourg and Lorraine, or the Ripuarian Franks in the Rhineland region."

By Suzanne Leigh St. Jude, the beloved pediatric cancer hospital, pays around half-a-million dollars for its top execs — forking out $477,920 for the annual salary of its CEO and even more for its COO: $522,334. When those figures hit social media recently, some cancer parents resolved to stop donating to the Memphis facility that treats an average 7,800 young patients a year. Other critics pointed a finger at St. Jude’s advertising extravaganzas featuring cameos from Hollywood’s hottest. Wouldn’t donors’ money be better spent on worthier causes than Jennifer Aniston’s camera-ready hairstyle? I’m with St. Jude (sort of). While those salaries (and star-studded advertising campaigns) give pause, they need to be viewed in the context of a behemoth that strives to acquire the best talent to steer its multimillion-dollar operations toward its vision. St. Jude is the tenth-largest charity in the nation with total expenses in excess of $840 million. Its CEO salary claims just 0.05 percent of those expenses, about the same percentage of the salary allotted to the CEO of the American Cancer Society, the country’s seventh-largest nonprofit. Much as a nonprofit needs its top executives to demonstrate passion for the cause, it needs their business chops more."

Painting by John Constable, 1829A rotten or pocket borough, more formally known as a nomination borough or proprietorial borough, was a parliamentary borough or constituency in England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom before the Reform Act 1832, which had a very small electorate and could be used by a patron to gain unrepresentative influence within the unreformed House of Commons. The same terms were used for similar boroughs represented in the 18th-century Parliament of Ireland. Old Sarum in Wiltshire (pictured) was the most notorious pocket borough. It was a possession of the Pitt family from the mid-17th century until 1802, and one of its Members of Parliament was Prime Minister William Pitt the Elder. In 1802 the Pitt family sold it for £60,000, even though the land and manorial rights were worth £700 a year (which would be equivalent to a capital sum of around £20,000 at most). Contents [ hide ]1 Background2 Rotten boroughs3 Pocket boroughs4 Reform5 Contemporary defences6 Modern usage6.1 Fiction7 Quotations8 See also9 References10 Further reading Background [ edit]A parliamentary borough was a town which was incorporated under a royal charter, giving it the right to send two elected burgesses as Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons. It was not unusual for the physical boundary of the settlement to change as the town developed or contracted over time, for example due to changes in its trade and industry, so that the boundaries of the parliamentary borough and of the physical settlement were no longer the same. For centuries, constituencies electing members to the House of Commons did not change to reflect population shifts, and in some places the number of electors became so few that they could be bribed by a single wealthy patron. In the 19th century, proponents of reform gave these boroughs the derogatory appellations \"\"rotten boroughs\"\" or \"\"pocket boroughs\"\", or more formally \"\"nomination boroughs\"\", because their democratic processes were rotten and their parliamentary member (s) were elected by the whim of the patron, thus \"\"in his pocket\"\"; the actual votes of the electors were a mere formality, all or a majority being willing to vote as the patron instructed them, with or without bribery."

"text": "Newsfeed What Is the Summer Solstice? Explaining the Longest Day of the Year Revellers watch sunrise over Stonehenge during celebrations to mark the summer solstice at the prehistoric monument on June 21, 2014 in Wiltshire, England. Rufus Cox—Getty Images By Sarah Begley June 19, 2015Sunshine revelers in the Northern Hemisphere have been enjoying the days growing longer and the evenings growing brighter; but now, that trend will be reversed. Sunday is summer solstice, the longest day of the year above the equator and the turning point after which the sun starts rising later and setting earlier. “Solstice” comes from the Latin solsitium, or “sun stands still.” The sun does indeed appear to stand still on the solstice, as it reaches its highest point in the sky. This illusion occurs because the Earth’s is tilted as far as it goes toward the sun. The solstice marks the official first day of summer, and has been celebrated for its symbolic importance since ancient times. In England, pagans and travelers visit Stonehenge to watch the sun rise among the stones. In Sweden, the solstice is tied to the celebration of Midsummer, though the date is set at June 24 every year while the date of the summer solstice moves."

In most cultures, including all western countries, the year is commonly divided into four seasons: Spring Summer Fall or Autumn Winter Since the year has 12 months, each season lasts about three months. However, the dates when the seasons begin and end vary depending on whom you ask. Two methods are most commonly used to define the dates of the seasons: the astronomical definition and the meteorological definition. Astronomical terms & definitions Astronomical Seasons The astronomical definition uses the dates of equinoxes and solstices to mark the beginning and end of the seasons: Spring begins on the spring equinox;Summer begins on the summer solstice;Fall (autumn) begins on the fall equinox; and Winter begins on the winter solstice.

It occurs twice a year — once for the northern hemisphere and once for the southern hemisphere — when the earth’ tilt is most inclined toward the sun. The word ‘solstice’ comes from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), and though it scientifically refers to a single moment in time, we use it to refer to the entire day. In addition to having the most daylight of any day out of the year, the summer solstice is also when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. It happens around the same day — June 21st or 22nd — each year. So what are you doing with the extra sunlight? If you’ve got a PV system installed, they’ll pull a little bit extra of the sun’s energy today. ( And if you don’t, give us a call!)

"text": "PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY RESEARCH GUIDE: EARTH/SUN RELATIONS AND SEASONSOn This Page: Tutorial Summary Quizzes See Also: Research Guide: Physical Geography TUTORIAL : EARTH/SUN RELATIONS AND SEASONSTo understand why we have seasons, we need to look at the relations between the Earth and the Sun. The plane of the ecliptic is the plane of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Most of the planets in the solar system also orbit on or near the plane of the ecliptic. ( You can see in the drawing below that the planets are more or less lined up, instead of circling the Sun at just any old angle. No, this is not drawn to scale. ) The Sun’s rays are pretty close to parallel to each other when they reach the Earth: So, if the Earth’s axis of rotation were perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic,then the direct rays of the Sun would always shine on the equator (that is, the angle of incidence at the equator would be 90 degrees), and you would always see the Sun just on the horizon at the North and South Poles (that is, the angle of incidence at the Poles would be zero): If that were the case, we would have no seasons. However, the Earth’s axis is not perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. If you drew a line perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, the Earth’s axis of rotation would be tilted, or inclined, at an angle of about 23.5 degrees with respect to the perpendicular line. It is this inclination of the Earth’s axis of rotation that is the reason for the seasons. The Earth maintains the same angle of inclination throughout its orbit."

So what about the question of the night sky, and why it appears to rotate the way it does? Image credit: Peter Michaud (Gemini Observatory), AURA, NSF. There are two straightforward explanations for this, and from this observation alone, they’re indistinguishable from one another. The entire sky — and all the stars in it — spins around the Earth with a period of 24 hours, causing the stars to change position as we observe it from Earth. The entire sky is — to the best of our observations — stationary, and appears to spin because the Earth is rotating beneath it.

In ancient times, the date of the June Solstice was used to organize calendars and as a marker to figure out when to plant and harvest crops. Traditionally, this time of year was also popular for weddings. Stonehenge: An Ancient Calendar Organizing System? Some historians point to the Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England as evidence of the fact that ancient humans used the June Solstice as a way to organize their calendars. Some believe that Stonehenge's unique stone circle was erected around 2500 BCE in order to establish the date of the Summer Solstice. Viewed from its center, the Sun rises at a particular point on the horizon on day of the June Solstice. Some theories suggest that the builders of Stonehenge may have used the solstice as a starting-point to count the days of the year."

"text": "\"Fall officially began last week, and you might recall that the new season coincided with the time of the autumnal equinox. But you might be wondering what “equinox” means and how the autumnal equinox and the spring equinox compare to the winter solstice and the summer solstice. In this episode we’ll discuss the distinctions and also address the difference between the words “ autumn ” and “fall” and when to capitalize those and other seasonal words. Equinox Lowercase seasons unless they’re part of a proper name. An equinox, which literally means an “equal night,” occurs when the sun ’s path crosses the plane of the earth’s equator, making day and night of about equal length throughout the earth. This happens twice a year — about March 20 (for the spring equinox) and about September 23 (for the autumnal equinox); those are the dates for the Northern Hemisphere; they’re switched for the Southern Hemisphere. ( A helpful visual guide can be accessed at http://www.athropolis.com/sunrise/def-sol2.htm .) The equinoxes are also called the vernal equinox and fall equinox (1). Solstice The word “solstice” means “sun standing\"\" (2). There are two solstices: the summer solstice (on about June 21) and the winter solstice (on about December 21)."

The timing of the solstice is not based on a specific calendar date and time. It depends on when the Sun reaches its northernmost point from the equator. The word solstice is from the Latin solstitium, from sol (sun) and stitium (to stop), reflecting the fact that the Sun appears to stop at this time (and again at the winter solstice). In temperate regions, we notice that the Sun is higher in the sky throughout the day, and its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer. This summer solstice is the day with the most hours of sunlight during the whole year."

During Solstices the tilt of the axil of the Earth (with respect to the Sun) is the maximum at 23° 26'. Solstices occur on 20 th or 21 st June and 21 st or 22 nd December each year. During summer the day of the solstice is the longest day of the year and during winter the day of the solstice is the shortest day of the year. During June it is Summer Solstice in the Northern hemisphere and Winter Solstice in the Southern hemisphere. In other words on June Solstice it is summer time in the UK, the USA, Canada, Russia, India, and China and it is the longest day of the year while it is winter time in Australia, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa and it is the shortest day of the year. Similarly during December it is Winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere and Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere.

Currently, there are numerous additional competing names used in connection with them in the media. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends, but demographers and researchers typically use the mid-1990s to mid-2000s as starting birth years. At the present time, there is little consensus regarding ending birth years.

Its website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew Mc Collum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The founders initially limited the website's membership to Harvard students. Later they expanded it to higher education institutions in the Boston area, the Ivy League schools, and Stanford University. Facebook gradually added support for students at various other universities, and eventually to high school students. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook, though variations exist in this requirement, depending on local laws. The name comes from the face book directories often given to American university students. Facebook held its initial public offering (IPO) in February 2012, and began selling stock to the public three months later, reaching an original peak market capitalization of $104 billion, a new record."

Using Fleksy, a keyboard app, Marcel Fernandes broke the old record and carved himself a place in history in the Guinness Book of World Records. And he did it while typing, not swiping.

"text": "\"More Topics Screen Time What should I do about my kid's video game addiction? The word \"\"addiction\"\" gets used a lot to describe a certain kind of focused attention on media and technology. We say we're \"\"addicted\"\" to checking our email or \"\"addicted\"\" to watching Game of Thrones. Kids, however, might display what looks to be addictive behavior when they're only super engaged in creating something or getting to the next level in a game. But if you have real concerns about your kid's behavior and notice mood changes, falling grades, mounting bills, or a lack of human interaction, you may want to talk with your pediatrician about the possibility of game addiction or the idea that another issue, such as depression, might be causing these problems.

The first things that come to your mind are games like “GTA V” or “CSGO” or any game that clearly has the 17+ rating. But if you take a closer look, there are some true masterpieces of games out there. Games with great music, great story, or some other gimmick that gets the player to truly love the game."

According to federal government data, today’s teenagers are the best behaved American kids in generations. In fact, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2015 release of its massive Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), suggests that kids these days are doing those risky behaviors less often that at any time since 1991. Published since 1991, the YRBSS reports on behaviors that most contribute to “death, disability, and social problems” among American youth, like drinking, smoking, having sex, and using drugs. The YRBSS survey is conducted every two years during the spring school semester and provides data representative of 9th through 12th grade students in public and private schools throughout the United States. While the CDC rarely makes its own social interpretations of the YRBSS report, its more than 180 pages of numbers often speak for themselves. Less Sex, More Protection Not only have American 9th through 12th graders become less likely to have sex, they are more likely to use some method of protection when they do."

"text": "\"Long Term Report: 2000 Ford Focus ZTS (Four Door Sedan, 2.0 Zetec engine, Five Speed Manual Transmission) Last updated: May 18, 2006 Len Moskowitz ([email protected])Summary This 2000 Ford Focus ZTS, currently with 88,529 miles on the odometer, has been recalled nine times, had two windshields replaced, three ignition locks replaced, had a main engine harness fail, the turn signal cancel failed four times, a suspension strut failed, a PCV valve hose replaced, EGR sensor replaced, it's been towed four times, and more. Other than its failures and recalls, it's been a fun and comfortable car to drive and own. I like it a lot. Would I buy another? Yes, but only if I had reason to believe that its more serious shortcomings had been addressed and fixed. Introduction2000 was the model year in which Ford introduced their compact-class Focus. Mine was built in September 1999 in Mexico and is a top-of-the-line ZTS with a 5-speed manual transmission, ABS and power everything. Pretty much the only options it doesn't have are leather seats and a sunroof. Strong points:16-valve, 2.0-liter Zetec engine is as smooth and as strong as a small four cylinder engine gets, far smoother and more responsive than the '97 Saab 900S's that I drove for three years before I bought the Focus5-speed manual transmission is \"\"world class\"\": precise and smooth Suspension feel is near perfect ABS system stops the car quickly, safely and surely All the controls are placed and work well Seating position is wonderful (but the seats are not great)Weak points: Wire harness workmanship: wire shearing at distributor plug could have cost over $1000 to repair Wind noise Ignition lock failures (three times, all three required towing)Turn signal cancel failure (four times)Main engine harness failure (required towing)Windshield cracks required twice replacing the windshield Front brake rotor warping (twice)Outdoor mirrors don't swivel or break away; drive too close to an auto bank teller and they break off Driver's seat and back seats are not comfortable for anything longer than a local trip Plastic dashboard and door \"\"wood\"\" is ugly Fuel pump assembly replaced in \"\"safety upgrade\"\"Suspension components failed at 72,000 miles Thirteen NHTSA federally mandated recalls and \"\"safety improvements\"\"Dealer Service For as long as I've had the Focus I've had all non-routine maintenance failures serviced at All-American Ford (Hackensack, New Jersey).

The Gen Zs are the kids born somewhere in the early to mid 1990s up through 2010. They fill the classrooms of the K-12 educators. An exact starting point and stopping point are always unclear in generational labels, but this group has the distinction of living in a world that has always had the internet. Note that the Gen Zs do have an end date, somewhere around 2010. The next group? Generation Alpha. Their distinction: Gen Zs on Red Bull. I’ve pored over numerous resources and have catalogued the Gen Z characteristics into seven broad categories that encompass everything from education to socialization to commerce.

Company claims as many as 40% of US teens are on the chat app – but after a series of scares, online safety groups urge caution Julia Carrie Wong in San Francisco@juliacarriew Email Tue 16 Feb 2016 22.40 EST16.00 EDTThis article is over 2 years old‘Kik is not designed to create a community of bad behavior, but there does tend to be bad behavior on anonymous apps,’ said Michael Kaiser, the executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance Photograph: Graeme Robertson for the Guardian Kik, like the past, is a foreign country. The mobile chat app of choice for 40% of US teenagers (according to the company) contains an entire version of the internet inside its virtual borders, but like those pesky high-frequency ringtones, Kik is largely inscrutable to people born before the turn of the millennium. News that a 13-year-old girl, Nicole Madison Lovell, chatted with an 18-year-old man on Kik the night before he kidnapped and murdered her, however, has added urgency to the parental quest of understanding what kids are getting up to on their phones these days. What is Kik, and why are kids so into it? At first glance, Kik is just another free messaging app for smartphones. You log in, you pick a user name, and you send texts, selfies, and emojis to your friends. But that’s just the first level of the Kik experience, which is clearly designed with a teenage user in mind (“For Kik, youth are the primary focus,” founder and CEO Ted Livingston wrote in 2014). The app has a built-in web browser and all sorts of internal native apps, which means that once you arrive in Kik, there’s very little reason to leave. You can play mobile games, make memes, watch videos, listen to music, and check out the funniest content on Reddit."

"text": "How Much Time People Spend Doing Stuff In Their Lifetime By Luke Ward Categories: Bizarre | Tags: News Share In the UK the average life expectancy is 79.5 years old; this is equivalent to 954 months, or 29037 days, or 696882 hours. I’m going to break down how long the average person spends doing stuff in their lifetimes so that you can make sure you’ve got enough time to do everything that you want to!On average people spend one-third of their lives asleep, which is 318 months taken up just by laying in bed, this gives you 636 months left to live. In the UK it’s the law to stay in education until your 16 years old, although further education is free until the age of 19; so many people take this opportunity to continue onto college for a few years. This means that the average person spends 15 years in education, doing a standard eight hours per day; excluding weekends – this brings the total to 1305 days, which is 43 months. This gives you 593 months left to live. So from the age of 19 when you leave education until 65 when you retire, let’s say you work doing a standard eight-hour per day job, excluding weekends and a week holiday per year, this totals to 128 months of your life you spend working. This gives you 465 months left to live. Let’s say as an average, people spend 20 minutes a day on the toilet, it may not seem much, but over the course of 80 years it sums up to roughly 13 months and 1 week. This gives you 451 months 3 weeks left to live. The average person eats 5 meals per day, plus whatever munchies they eat between these meals, this gives a estimate that you spend six years of your life eating."

Year Date Day Holiday States2019 2 Mar Sat Texas Independence Day TX2020 2 Mar Mon Texas Independence Day TXMost viewed holidays today: Emancipation Day Good Friday / Easter Patriots' Day After U. S. immigration, conflicts over slavery, and the centralized, oppressive policies of Mexican president Santa Ana had pushed Texans to the limits, 60 delegates from all over the territory finally met in Washington, Texas, in 1836 and adopted (without debate) a declaration of independence that was very much modeled on the U. S. Declaration of Independence. Soon, Santa Ana himself arrived in Texas at the head of an army on a mission to force Texas back into submission. The first battle was the siege of the Alamo, in San Antonio, where 1,500 Mexicans crushed a small garrison of defenders in an old mission-fort after a 13-day siege. While the battle was lost, the time won helped the Texas army further north better prepare for the war. Later, Santa Ana was captured at the Battle of San Jacinto and forced to withdraw his forces from Texas, thus ending the war. Texas state workers have the option of taking Texas Independence Day off, and Texas students often study the Texas Declaration of Independence this time of year. Tourists to Texas find the following things to do: Attend the festivals, reenactments, concerts, kids’ events, and chili cook offs held in many municipalities throughout the state. There are often story sessions for young children on how Texas gained its independence. Visit the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site where Texas declared its independence."

Juneteenth falls on June 19 each year. It is a holiday whose history was hidden for much of the last century. But as the nation now observes the 150th anniversary of the Civil War’s onset, it is a holiday worth recognizing.

"text": "Boundaries of the Republic of Texas The Republic of Texas was an independent nation, bordering the United States and Mexico, that existed from April 21, 1836 to February 19, 1846. The new Republic was formed by the defeat of Mexico in the Texas Revolution and claimed borders that encompassed an area that included all of the present State of Texas, as well as parts of present-day New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming. The northern and western boundaries of the Republic of Texas were very different from present day Texas and included the following areas. From the mouth of the Sabine River north to the 32nd parallel, then due north to the Red River, west to the 100th meridian, north to the Arkansas River and present day Dodge City, Kansas, then west to the headwaters of the Arkansas River near present day Leadville, Colorado and then north to the 42nd parallel, near present day Rawlins, Wyoming. From Silverton, Colorado the western and southern boundary then followed the course of the Rio Grande River. The Republic of Texas boundaries would thus have included many well known present day areas. Las Cruces, Albuquerque and Taos, New Mexico would be near the boundaries of the west side of the old Republic of Texas. Santa Fe, New Mexico and Alamosa, Colorado would have also been in the Republic of Texas. Rawlings, Wyoming is included as part of the northern border. Kremmling, Vail, and Salida, Colorado would be near the eastern part of the border as would parts of Cañon City and Pueblo, Colorado."

That was the year Father Hildalgo started its war of independence from Spain. On dieciséis de septiembre (September 16) he rang a church bell and started the war of independence, Mexican Independence Day. The date is analogous to July 4, 1776 in the United States when the Continental Congress declared its independence from England. It was a long drawn out war. By about 1821 the Spanish army had been driven out of Mexico. The president did not want it to be independent, but under the Council of the Indies. Spain made several attempts to recapture Mexico."

Tensions rose in Texas during early 1835 as throughout Mexico federalists began to oppose the increasingly centralist policies of the government. In the summer, Texians elected delegates to a political convention to be held in Gonzales in mid-October. Weeks before the convention began, settlers took up arms against Mexican soldiers at the Battle of Gonzales. The convention was postponed until November 1 after many of the delegates joined the newly organized volunteer Texian Army to initiate a siege of the Mexican garrison at San Antonio de Bexar. On November 3, a quorum was reached in San Antonio. Within days, the delegates passed a resolution to define why Texians were fighting. They expressed allegiance to the deposed Constitution of 1824 and maintained their right to form an independent government while this document was not in effect. Henry Smith was elected governor of the new provisional government and the remaining delegates formed a General Council. In the next weeks, the council authorized the creation of a new regular army to be commanded by Sam Houston."

The dictatorship of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, supported by rich landowners, had seized control of the governments and subverted the constitution. As dissension and discord mounted in Texas, both on the military front and at the seat of the provisional government of the Consultation at San Felipe, the colonists agreed that another popular assembly was needed to chart a course of action. On December 10, 1835, the General Council of the provisional government issued a call for an election on February 1, 1836, to choose forty-four delegates to assemble on March 1 at Washington-on-the-Brazos. These delegates represented the seventeen Texas municipalities and the small settlement at Pecan Point on the Red River. The idea of independence from Mexico was growing. The Consultation sent Branch T. Archer, William H. Wharton, and Stephen F. Austin to the United States to solicit men, money, supplies, and sympathy for the Texas cause. At New Orleans, in early January of 1836, the agents found enthusiastic support, but advised that aid would not be forthcoming so long as Texans squabbled over whether to sustain the Mexican constitution. The convention held at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 1, 1836, was quite different from the Consultation."

The delegates chose David Burnet as provisional president and confirmed Sam Houston as the commander in chief of all Texan forces. The Texans also adopted a constitution that protected the free practice of slavery, which had been prohibited by Mexican law. Meanwhile, in San Antonio, Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna’s siege of the Alamo continued, and the fort’s 185 or so American defenders waited for the final Mexican assault. In 1820, Moses Austin, a U. S. citizen, asked the Spanish government in Mexico for permission to settle in sparsely populated Texas. Land was granted, but Austin died soon thereafter, so his son, Stephen F. Austin, took over the project. In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain, and Austin negotiated a contract with the new Mexican government that allowed him to lead some 300 families to the Brazos River. Under the terms of the agreement, the settlers were to be Catholics, but Austin mainly brought Protestants from the southern United States. Other U. S. settlers arrived in succeeding years, and the Americans soon outnumbered the resident Mexicans. In 1826, a conflict between Mexican and American settlers led to the Freedonia Rebellion, and in 1830 the Mexican government took measures to stop the influx of Americans."

The Republic of Texas declared independence from the Republic of Mexico on March 2, 1836. At the time the vast majority of the Texian population favored the annexation of the Republic by the United States. The leadership of both major U. S. political parties, the Democrats and the Whigs, opposed the introduction of Texas, a vast slave-holding region, into the volatile political climate of the pro- and anti-slavery sectional controversies in Congress. Moreover, they wished to avoid a war with Mexico, whose government refused to acknowledge the sovereignty of its rebellious northern province. With Texas's economic fortunes declining by the early 1840s, the President of the Texas Republic, Sam Houston, arranged talks with Mexico to explore the possibility of securing official recognition of independence, with the United Kingdom mediating. In 1843, U. S. President John Tyler, then unaligned with any political party, decided independently to pursue the annexation of Texas in a bid to gain a base of popular support for another four years in office. His official motivation was to outmaneuver suspected diplomatic efforts by the British government for emancipation of slaves in Texas, which would undermine slavery in the United States. Through secret negotiations with the Houston administration, Tyler secured a treaty of annexation in April 1844. When the documents were submitted to the U. S. Senate for ratification, the details of the terms of annexation became public and the question of acquiring Texas took center stage in the presidential election of 1844."

While the uprising was part of a larger one that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any foreigners fighting against Mexican troops \"\"will be deemed pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and fighting under no recognized flag.\"\" Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the United States. The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed, particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by mid-December 1835."

As Sam Houston's army retreated eastward, a rear-guard under Moseley Baker at San Felipe and Wyly Martin at Fort Bend sought to prevent the Mexicans from crossing the Brazos. At Thompson's Ferry on April 12, Mexican colonel Juan N. Almonte hailed the ferryman, who was on the east bank. Probably thinking that Almonte was a countryman who ... had been left behind during the retreat, the ferryman poled the ferry across to the west bank. Santa Anna and his staff, who had been hiding in nearby bushes, sprang out and captured the ferry. By this means the Mexican Centralists accomplished a bloodless crossing of the Brazos, which they completed by April 14. The Texan forces at Fort Bend and San Felipe were forced to abandon their defenses and join the rest of Houston's army in retreat. The Texans did not turn on their pursuers until April 21, when they destroyed Santa Anna's army at San Jacinto. Information courtesy of TSHA."

It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. [ 2] It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of \"\"Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,\"\" to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. [ 3] [4] Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U. S. The event that Americans commonly call the \"\"First Thanksgiving\"\" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. [ 5] This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow [6] —it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. [ 7] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating \"\"thanksgivings\"\"— days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.

On January 31, 1957, the Canadian Parliament proclaimed: A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October. English explorer Martin Frobisher hosted the first Canadian Thanksgiving. It was held in what is now Newfoundland during his expedition's attempts to find the Northwest Passage to the Orient in 1578 and marked their safe arrival to the New World. So it was not hosted to celebrate a bountiful harvest. With time, French, Scottish and German immigrants to Canada added some of their traditions to the harvest festival."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture How FDR Changed Thanksgiving Share Flipboard Email Print Image Source/Photodisc/Getty Imagesby Jennifer Rosenberg Updated August 11, 2017U. S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had a lot to think about in 1939. The world had been suffering from the Great Depression for a decade and the Second World War had just erupted in Europe. On top of that, the U. S. economy continued to look bleak. So when U. S. retailers begged him to move Thanksgiving up a week to increase the shopping days before Christmas, FDR agreed. He probably considered it a small change; however, when FDR issued his Thanksgiving Proclamation with the new date, there was an uproar throughout the country. The First Thanksgiving As most schoolchildren know, the history of Thanksgiving began when Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered together to celebrate a successful harvest. The first Thanksgiving was held in the fall of 1621, sometime between September 21 and November 11, and was a three-day feast. The Pilgrims were joined by approximately ninety of the local Wampanoag tribe, including Chief Massasoit, in celebration. They ate fowl and deer for certain and most likely also ate berries, fish, clams, plums, and boiled pumpkin. Sporadic Thanksgivings Though the current holiday of Thanksgiving was based on the 1621 feast, it did not immediately become an annual celebration or holiday."

A: Quick Answer Costco is not open on six major holidays in the United States including Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Though there are always last minute shoppers around the holidays Costco understands that their employees have families too, and as such they are not open on days like Thanksgiving, even though other grocery retailers often are. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Holidays Are Observed by the U. S. Postal Services? What Were Some Holidays in 2005? Is Costco Open on Thanksgiving? Full Answer Costco is a large retail warehouse club that is membership-based, meaning that without a membership, a person cannot shop at the store. The current company is a result of a 1993 merger between Price Club, which was first developed in 1976 in San Diego, CA, and Costco, which first opened in 1983 in Seattle, WA. Initially both companies catered to businesses only, but soon a select number of non-business members were invited to join, leading to massive sales growth. As of 2014, recent sales for Costco stores total nearly $64 billion worldwide."

This may sound surprising, but it’s actually logical if you consider the history of Thanksgiving. How come the French don’t celebrate Thanksgiving? After their arrival in America, settlers quickly faced a problem, their food supplies were getting smaller and smaller. So they decided to start growing plants. When the first harvest came in 1621, they decided to celebrate. Thus was born Thanksgiving. Considering the origin of Thanksgiving, its absence in France makes complete sense. That’s also why there is no special way to say thanksgiving in French. We use the English word."

In recent years, major retailers like Macy's, Best Buy, and Kohl's have joined Walmart and Target who have opened their doors on Thanksgiving for the official start of Black Friday. As always, watch as the frenzy starts in the early afternoon. That's when Black Friday ads begin to blanket the airwaves during the marathon NFL Thanksgiving football games. Then, after the dinner dishes are cleared, be prepared to pounce. Most stores doing business on Thanksgiving Day usually open anywhere from 3PM - 6PM. Lately, the trend to remain open on one of the most important holidays of the year has come under fire. And it's not only by conservative or religious groups. It seems the pendulum has swung back in favor of spending more time with family on one of the most family-oriented days of the year."

"text": "\"How Did ‘Black Friday’ Get Its Name? The term 'Black Friday' did not originate with the practice of selling off slaves on the day after Thanksgiving.8KCLAIMThe term \"\"Black Friday\"\" originated with the practice of selling off slaves on the day after Thanksgiving. RATINGFalse ORIGIN“Black Friday” is the (originally derisive, now mainstream) term for the phenomenon that takes place in the U. S. on the day after Thanksgiving Thursday, when millions of consumers who get the day off from work or school crowd into stores for what is traditionally considered the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. The origins of the term “Black Friday” have become somewhat obscured in the mists of time, however, leading people to invent fanciful explanations for how that phrase became attached to the day after Thanksgiving. One example posits that the term started with a tradition of slaveowners or slave traders using that day as an opportunity for selling their wares: The use of “Black Friday” as a descriptor for the day after Thanksgiving has nothing to do with the selling of slaves, though, and the term didn’t originate until nearly a century after the practice of slavery was abolished in the U. S. The earliest known use of “Black Friday” in such a context stems from 1951 and referred to the practice of workers calling in sick on the day after Thanksgiving in order to have four consecutive days off (because that day was not yet commonly offered as a paid day off by employers): WHAT TO DO ABOUT “FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING”“Friday-after-Thanksgiving-itis” is a disease second only to the bubonic plague in its effects. At least that’s the feeling of those who have to get production out, when the “Black Friday” comes along. The shop may be half empty, but every absentee was sick — and can prove it. What to do? Many companies have tried the standard device of denying Thanksgiving Day pay to employees absent the day before and after the holiday. Trouble is, you can’t deny pay to those legitimately ill."

However, it was not a fixed holiday with states celebrating on different days. President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day during the Civil War, on October 3, 1863. He asked that the nation give thanks for the Union on the last Thursday of November. That made the first true national autumn Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26, 1863, recognizing a long-standing New England tradition of placing the holiday on the fourth Thursday in November. He did it partially to help soothe the national mood, which was weary of the Civil War. He declared Thanksgiving again for November 23, 1864. In 1865, his successor, Andrew Johnson, declared a Thanksgiving for December 7, 1865, and presidents traditionally declared a Thanksgiving for every autumn since.

"text": "\"55992Articles First Thanksgiving On the fourth Thursday of November, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, a national holiday honoring the early settlers and their harvest feast known as the first Thanksgiving. Native Americans Long before settlers came to the East Coast of the United States, the area was inhabited by many Native American tribes. The area surrounding the site of the first Thanksgiving, now known as southeastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island had been the home of the Wampanoag people for over 12,000 years, and had been visited by other European settlers before the arrival of the Mayflower. The native people knew the land well and had fished, hunted, and harvested for thousands of generations. The Settlers The people who comprised the Plymouth Colony were a group of English Protestants who wanted to break away from the Church of England. These ‘separatists’ initially moved to Holland and after 12 years of financial problems, they received funding from English merchants to sail across the Atlantic to settle in a ‘New World.' A ship carrying 101 men, women, and children spent 66 days traveling the Atlantic Ocean, intending to land where New York City is now located. Due to the windy conditions, the group had to cut their trip short and settle at what is now called Cape Cod.

The decision sparked great controversy, and was still unresolved two years later, when the House of Representatives passed a resolution making the last Thursday in November a legal national holiday.

After all, who wouldn't want to experience Disney World at Thanksgiving? But if you're planning a trip between Nov. 18-25, 2017, you should plan on longer waits for attractions and larger crowds everywhere you go. Despite the crowds, Disney World at Thanksgiving is a decidedly low-key affair as far as the actual holiday is concerned. Don't expect to see window fronts decorated with cornucopias and pilgrims everywhere you turn. All of the parks will be decorated for the holidays — just not the Thanksgiving holiday — and that's fine by us. Those of you visiting during this time will be eased right into the Christmas spirit. The one exception to this is the Land Pavilion at Epcot, where pumpkins, gourds and scarecrows are usually on display in Living With the Land and the Behind the Seeds Tour at Epcot. Here are the Frog Family’s best tips for making the notoriously busy Thanksgiving at Disney World an enjoyable one. Top Tips to Survive Disney World at Thanksgiving1."

"text": "What Is Irony? ( With Examples)By Guest Author Recently I was walking and talking with my co-worker, who happens to be a freelance writer and aspiring journalist. We were talking about the fact that our employers were providing us with a Thanksgiving lunch the day after Thanksgiving, and she said, “It’s so ironic!’’ – all emphasis and drawing-out of syllables possible used on the last word. This is a smart girl I’m talking about. She’s a college graduate and has done her fair share of writing and reporting. And even so, she doesn’t know the definition of irony. Merriam-Webster defines irony as:1: a pretense of ignorance and of willingness to learn from another assumed in order to make the other’s false conceptions conspicuous by adroit questioning —called also Socratic irony2: a) the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning b) a usually humorous or sardonic literary style or form characterized by irony c) an ironic expression or utterance3: a) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result; an event or result marked by such incongruity b) incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play —called also dramatic irony, tragic irony A simple way of putting it is that irony usually signals a difference between the appearance of things and reality. For instance, here is how Wikipedia defines it: “Ironic statements (verbal irony) often convey a meaning exactly opposite from their literal meaning. In ironic situations (situational irony), actions often have an effect exactly opposite from what is intended."

The event that Americans commonly call the \"\"First Thanksgiving\"\" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. [ 5] This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow [6] —it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. [ 7] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating \"\"thanksgivings\"\"— days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.

The thought of getting up early and put a turkey into the oven was not exciting. At all!I decided to slow-roast the turkey overnight at a lower temperature than I normally would so that I would not have to tend to it. It turned out PERFECT!! ! The meat was juicy and I had plenty of time to let it rest,carve it,make gravy,and have my oven free for other things *BONUS!I have had turkey dinners at other people’s homes and while it was nice, I could never help think to myself how do people think that taking the turkey out of the oven 10 minutes before serving it,with all the side dishes made and everyone’s mouth watering for some FOOD,that there had to be a better way to spend the holidays than being HUNGRY!Slow roasted cooking takes time and if you follow the suggestions on the package of the turkey I do NOT feel that is enough time at all to have a delicious turkey. That is the way to have a turkey cooked but in my opinion, not the best tasting turkey. The meat will not be tender."

Labor day (the US variant) is celebrated on first Monday of every September. It occurs on Sep 6th in 2010. Using excel date formulas, you can easily find out the labor day’s date for any given year. Here is the formula I have used:=DATE (2010,9,CHOOSE (WEEKDAY (DATE (2010,9,1)),2,1,7,6,5,4,3))How this formula works? The formula finds the weekday of first of September (WEEKDAY (DATE (2010,9,1))) and then uses this information to return one of the possible dates for first Monday. You can use similar logic to find dates for other holidays like Thanksgiving day (both US and Canada), Memorial Day and Martin Luther King Day. Is there a long weekend for New Years Day in 2011?"

The first Thanksgiving Day football game took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving Day of 1869, less than two weeks after Rutgers defeated Princeton in New Brunswick, New Jersey in what is widely recognized as the first intercollegiate football game in the United States, and only six years after Abraham Lincoln declared the first fixed national Thanksgiving holiday in 1863. On November 17, 1869, the Evening Telegraph newspaper of Philadelphia published the following announcement: \"\"Foot Ball: A foot-ball match between twenty-two players of the Young America Cricket Club and the Germantown Cricket Club will take place on Thanksgiving Day at 12 1/2 o'clock, on the grounds of the Germantown Club.\"\" [ 1] The proximity of Philadelphia to both Rutgers and Princeton invites speculation that this game may have been played under similar rules and perhaps involved some of the same participants, or at least people familiar with the game played at Rutgers, and a second match at Princeton, earlier that month."

( Handschuh, David)On Thanksgiving Day, some 3.5 million people will gaze in awe at towering balloons, dance along with thousands of performers and cheer the holiday season. One thing that won’t happen during the 90th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade: the intentional release of the iconic balloons, followed by a scavenger hunt for them. But that’s just what happened in 1929, 1930 and 1931. The balloons, released at the parade’s conclusion at Herald Square, carried prize-winning postcards that could be turned in for gift certificates worth as much as $50. NYPD to boost security for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Macy's balloons through the years“How much fun would it be to see a balloon continuing to soar through the New York sky and just fly off?” said Amy Kule, executive producer of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The proud organizer of the parade reflected on the changes to the spectacle, which has heralded the holiday season for nine decades. The long-abandoned balloon release made for a surreal scene in 1931 as massive figures between 40 and 170 feet long — Felix the Cat, a hippopotamus and a family dubbed mama, papa and baby — floated east in a brisk wind. The 1926 parade was the last to feature live animals. ("

"text": "“Fall Breaks” and Autumn 2015 Crowds at Walt Disney World By Dave Shute FALL BREAK CROWDS AT WALT DISNEY WORLD? One of the things you’ll see now and then on the web is the claim that “fall breaks from school create big crowds at Walt Disney World. ”“Fall breaks” are multi-day school holidays before Thanksgiving, and, if material, would have an effect on Disney World—because Disney World is most crowded when it’s easy for kids to go. If you check the facts, though, you’ll find that fall breaks are both uncommon and scattered across October and early November—other than Jersey Week and the weeks before and including Columbus Day. Outside of those three weeks, you are much more likely to run into trouble in the fall by choosing to go to the Magic Kingdom or Epcot on a bad day—Epcot on a day when it’s open late for Food and Wine,The Magic Kingdom on a day when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is not showing, and evening hours and entertainment offerings are thus more extensive. See the chart, which shows the weighted percent of US school kids in my database with more than a three-day weekend in 2015 in October and in November before Thanksgiving week. In it, weekends are in black, and Columbus Day is in red. ( The mid-week Veteran’s Day has no impact on breaks in 2015.) Everything else is blue. The first conclusion you can draw is that the only time when more than 5% of kids are having more than a three day weekend is just before and then over the week that includes Columbus Day."

It’s at a premium, to put it mildly. The more ingredients and completed dishes I can leave out on the counter, the better. But I’m big on food safety and would rather be safe than sorry. Do I have to refrigerate pies? Save I’d like my Thanksgiving dinner to be memorable for the good time family and friends enjoyed, not their recollections of recovery from food poisoning. This year, I’m making pumpkin and pecan pies. My friend Jill (of copycat Cosi salad fame) will bring apple crisp. Do I have to use precious refrigerator space for the pies and apple crisp?"

It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. [ 2] It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of \"\"Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,\"\" to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. [ 3] [4] Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U. S. The event that Americans commonly call the \"\"First Thanksgiving\"\" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. [ 5] This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow [6] —it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. [ 7] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating \"\"thanksgivings\"\"— days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.

Thanksgiving got started to make peace and friends with the Natives of America and the new comers during that time. Food was hard to come by and the Natives knew what to eat and seeing the new people starve and struggle to survive the Natives brought forth many new foods that the Pilgrims knew little or nothing about.

National Thanksgiving Holiday (one class period) 3) About Cranberry Thanksgiving (one class period) 4) Cooking Activity (two class periods)Background Some people believe that the Pilgrims celebrated the “first” Thanksgiving with the Wampanoag. However, the Wampanoag have a tradition and way of giving thanks that began much, much earlier than the harvest festival the Pilgrims and Wampanoag shared in the 1620s. It has been documented, in fact, that our Tribe has lived on the lands we still live on (called Aquinnah on the island of Martha’s Vineyard) for at least twelve thousand years!Read what tribal elder Gladys Widdiss has to say about the Wampanoag and thanksgiving:“Every day (is) a day of thanksgiving to the Wampanoag . . . ( We) give thanks to the dawn of the new day, at the end of the day, to the sun, to the moon, for rain for helping crops grow. . . There (is) always something to be thankful for. .. Giving thanks comes naturally for the Wampanoag. ”These thanksgiving celebrations within the Tribe continue today. In addition to daily thanks there have always been set times for celebration that coincided with changes of season and harvests times. Our New Year comes at the Spring planting time. Summer is celebrated with Strawberry Thanksgiving, at the time when the first wild berry ripens."

It is served with a variety of side dishes which vary from traditional dishes such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce, [1] to ones that reflect regional or cultural heritage. [ 2] The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving dinner are made from foods native to the New World, as according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods, or learned how to grow them, from the Native Americans. [ 3] Thanksgiving dinner is the largest eating event in the United States; people eat more on Thanksgiving than on any other day of the year. [ 4]Contents [ hide ]1 Historical menus2 Turkey3 Alternatives to turkey4 Side dishes5 Beverages6 See also7 References Historical menus [ edit]1943 Thanksgiving Day dinner menu from USS Wake Island (CVE-65)According to what traditionally is known as \"\"The First Thanksgiving,\"\" the 1621 feast between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag at Plymouth Colony contained waterfowl, venison, ham, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, and squash. William Bradford noted that, \"\"besides waterfowl, there was great store of wild turkeys, of which they took many.\"\" [ 5] Many of the foods that were included in the first feast (except, notably, the seafood) have since gone on to become staples of the modern Thanksgiving dinner. Early feasts of the Order of Good Cheer, a French Canadian predecessor to the modern Thanksgiving, featured a potluck dinner with freshly-hunted fowl, game, and fish, hunted and shared by both French Canadians and local natives. The use of the turkey in the US for Thanksgiving precedes Lincoln's nationalization of the holiday in 1863. Alexander Hamilton proclaimed that no \"\"Citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day,\"\" and Benjamin Franklin had high regard for the wild turkey as an American icon, [6] but turkey was uncommon as Thanksgiving fare until after 1800."

"text": "\"Pies, parades and presidential pardons: The history of Thanksgiving From food to football, here's everything you need to know about the American holiday Cameron Macphail21 November 2017 • 8:54am W hile Thanksgiving is one of the biggest events in the American calendar, for us Brits it's always been a little bit of a mystery. The most exposure many of us get to the holiday is by watching American television series' Thanksgiving-themed episodes - and even those tend to leave us in the dark. From how the holiday came about to why the President pardons a turkey, here is everything you need to know about the American holiday. When is Thanksgiving? This year Thanksgiving falls this week, on Thursday, Nov 23, (the fourth Thursday in November) – the day before Black Friday. Thanksgiving Day traditionally kicks off the 'holiday season' in the United States. The day was set in stone by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 and approved by Congress in 1941. FDR changed it from Abraham Lincoln's designation as the last Thursday in November (because there are sometimes five Thursdays in the month). W hile Britons think of it as a warm-up for the Yuletide period, many Americans think it of it as just as important as Christmas. In fact, more people in the US celebrate Thanksgiving than they do Christmas."

Thanksgiving, which has also traditionally been a holiday itself for many employees; a day full of special deals and heavy discounts, it's considered the kickoff of the holiday shopping season. In history, Black Friday was a stock market catastrophe that took place on Sept. 24, 1869. On that day, after a period of rampant speculation, the price of gold plummeted and the market crashed. Next Up Black Thursday Black Market Black Money Black Box Model BREAKING DOWN 'Black Friday'On Black Friday, it's common for retailers to offer special promotions and to open their doors during the pre-dawn hours to attract customers. ( Some bargain-hunters camp out overnight in order to secure a place in line at a favorite store; the most fanatical have been known to skip Thanksgiving dinner altogether and camp out in parking lots for days or even weeks.) The promotions usually continue through Sunday, and traditionally, brick-and-mortar stores see a spike in sales. Black Friday and Retail Spending Retailers may spend an entire year planning their Black Friday sales. They use the day as an opportunity to offer rock-bottom prices on overstock inventory and to offer doorbusters and discounts on seasonal items, such as holiday decorations and typical holiday gifts. Retailers also offer significant discounts on big-ticket items and top-selling brands of TVs, smart devices and other electronics, luring customers in the hope that, once inside, they will purchase higher- margingoods ."

The Wampanoag Side of the Tale The First Thanksgiving was a fact finding party Gale Courey Toensing • November 23, 2017When you hear about the Pilgrims and “the Indians” harmoniously sharing the “first Thanksgiving” meal in 1621, the Indians referred to so generically are the ancestors of the contemporary members of the Wampanoag Nation. As the story commonly goes, the Pilgrims who sailed from England on the Mayflower and landed at what became Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620 had a good harvest the next year. So Plymouth Gov. William Bradford organized a feast to celebrate the harvest and invited a group of “Native American allies, including the Wampanoag chief Massasoit” to the party. The feast lasted three days and, according to chronicler Edward Winslow, Bradford sent four men on a “fowling mission” to prepare for the feast and the Wampanoag guests brought five deer to the party. And ever since then, the story goes, Americans have celebrated Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. Not exactly, Ramona Peters, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer told Indian Country Today Media Networkin a conversation on the day before Thanksgiving 2012—391 years since that mythological “first Thanksgiving. ”We know what we’re taught in mainstream media and in schools is made up."

Most major retailers open very early, as early as overnight hours, and offer promotional sales. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but California and some other states observe \"\"The Day After Thanksgiving\"\" as a holiday for state government employees, sometimes in lieu of another federal holiday such as the Columbus Day. [ 2] Many non-retail employees and schools have both Thanksgiving and the following Friday off, which, along with the following regular weekend, makes it a four-day weekend, thereby increasing the number of potential shoppers. Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States since 2005, [3] although news reports, which at that time were inaccurate, [4] have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time.

If you really must go to the Magic Kingdom either go for the first hour or two of operation and then park hop, or go for the atmosphere. If this is your first time reading these reports you’ll see both actual and posted wait times. Actual is what it really took guests to go through the line and posted is what Disney estimates (and what you’ll see on the signs in front of the rides in the parks).

"text": "Published by the01/02/2015 06:29 am ET Updated Mar 04, 2015Germany’s Cologne Cathedral To Turn Off Lights In Protest At Anti-Muslim March ASSOCIATED PRESSBERLIN, Jan 2 (Reuters) - One of Germany’s most famous landmarks, Cologne Cathedral, will be plunged into darkness on Monday evening in protest at a march by a growing grass-roots anti-Muslim movement through the western German city, cathedral authorities said. The rise of the group, Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the West (PEGIDA), has shaken Germany’s political establishment, prompting Chancellor Angela Merkel to say in her New Year address that its leaders were racists full of hatred and citizens should beware being used. PEGIDA’s last weekly rally in the eastern city of Dresden attracted some 17,000 people, and the movement plans further marches in other cities, including through the center of Cologne on Monday night with a rally by the cathedral. “PEGIDA is made up of an astonishingly broad mix of people, ranging from those in the middle of society to racists and the extreme right-wing,” Cathedral Dean Norbert Feldhoff told Reuters. “By switching off the floodlighting we want to make those on the march stop and think. It is a challenge: consider who you are marching alongside. ”Dresden’s famous Semperoper opera house also extinguished its lights in protest during the last PEGIDA march in the city. An opinion poll on Thursday found one German in eight would join an anti-Muslim march if PEGIDA organized one in their home town. Many people are concerned about the numbers of asylum seekers entering Germany, which surged to about 200,000 in 2014, four times the number in 2012. Net immigration has also hit a two-decade high."

Backgrounder by Toni Johnson September 19, 2011This publication is now archived. Introduction Since 9/11, the U. S. war on terror abroad and domestic terror incidents involving U. S. and immigrant Muslims have focused attention on Islam in the United States. Muslims face increased scrutiny and backlash on issues ranging from mosques and sharia law to questions of terrorism. U. S. Muslims are more affluent, educated, and culturally integrated than Muslims in Western Europe, but some experts warn that this atmosphere of mistrust can fuel feelings of alienation. Others say the United States has weathered other bitter discussions about ethnic and religious integration and that the debate about Muslims in America will likely diminish over time. U. S. Muslim Demographics The U. S. Census doesn’t collect information about religions, but estimates on the number of Muslims in the United States range from fewer than two million people to as many as seven million. At the highest estimates, the percentage of Muslims in the United States would represent about 2 percent of the population.

Hasan Rouhani's remarks about Israel — which Iran considers to be its archenemy — seemed to echo longstanding views of other Iranian leaders and could tarnish his image in the West as a voice of moderation in Iranian affairs. But no Iranian leader is likely to diverge from Iran's longstanding denunciations of Israel and the remarks, made as tens of thousands of Iranians marched in support of Muslim claims to the holy city of Jerusalem, are not necessarily evidence that Rouhani will roll back his support for calmer relations with the West, including possible one-on-one dialogue with Washington. The remarks themselves may not have been accurately interpreted when they were first reported by the ISNA student news agency, which like most Iranian media is controlled tightly by Iran's clerical regime. State-controlled Press TV later broadcast video showing Rouhani making less contentious remarks:\"\"In our region there's been a wound for years on the body of the Muslim world under the shadow of the occupation of the holy land of Palestine and the beloved al-Quds (Jerusalem),\"\" Rouhani said, according to a translation by the Reuters news agency. The earlier quote, which came from ISNA, was most notable for its inclusion of the call for the \"\"wound\"\" to be \"\"removed\"\":\"\"The Zionist regime has been a wound on the body of the Islamic world for years and the wound should be removed,\"\" ISNA quoted Rouhani as saying. Play Video Mideast peace talks renewed in Washington, D. C. The two versions of his comments could not immediately be reconciled. The president-elect also expressed doubts, according to ISNA, about the possibility of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal even as the two sides resumed negotiations in Washington this week, ending a five-year freeze in Mideast talks. \"\" Israelis show a compromising face to the world but continue their expansionism in practice,\"\" Rouhani said according to Fars, another semi-official news agency."

[ 1] The term can refer to diverse forms of social and political activism advocating that public and political life should be guided by Islamic principles [1] [2] or more specifically to movements which call for full implementation of sharia. It is commonly used interchangeably with the terms political Islam or Islamic fundamentalism. [ 3] In academic usage, the term Islamism does not specify what vision of \"\"Islamic order\"\" or sharia are being advocated, or how their advocates intend to bring them about. [ 4] In Western mass media it tends to refer to groups who aim to establish a sharia-based Islamic state, often with implication of violent tactics and human rights violations, and has acquired connotations of political extremism. In the Muslim world, the term has positive connotations among its proponents. [ 3]Different currents of Islamist thought include advocating a \"\"revolutionary\"\" strategy of Islamizing society through exercise of state power, and alternately a \"\"reformist\"\" strategy to re-Islamizing society through grass-roots social and political activism. [ 5] Islamists may emphasize the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law); [6] pan-Islamic political unity, [6] including an Islamic state; [7] or selective removal of non-Muslim, particularly Western military, economic, political, social, or cultural influences in the Muslim world that they believe to be incompatible with Islam.

It also includes the freedom to change one's religion or belief. [ 1]Freedom of religion is considered by many people and most of the nations to be a fundamental human right. [ 2] [3] In a country with a state religion, freedom of religion is generally considered to mean that the government permits religious practices of other sects besides the state religion, and does not persecute believers in other faiths. Freedom of belief is different. It allows the right to believe what a person, group or religion wishes, but it does not necessarily allow the right to practice the religion or belief openly and outwardly in a public manner.

"text": "Europe | Toulouse Journal After Killings in France, Muslims Fear a Culture of Diversity Is at Risk By SCOTT SAYARE MARCH 27, 2012Jewish and Muslim leaders marched together silently on Sunday to honor the four people who were killed by Mohammed Merah at a Jewish school in Toulouse, a city known for tolerance. Zohra Bensemra/Reuters TOULOUSE, France — As near to the Spanish border as it is to the Mediterranean, this sunny red-brick city has long been known as a place of welcome and diversity, far removed from the divisive politics of Paris. In contrast to much of the French south, the far right, with its virulent anti-immigrant stance, has little presence here. Nor does radical Islam. Toulouse is by no means without racism, anti-Semitism, crime or the deep social segregation that marks many French cities, but with a culture shaped by successive waves of immigration, it is described by its inhabitants as a place of particular tolerance. Hundreds of thousands of Spaniards fled the Franco dictatorship into France after the Spanish Civil War, and many settled here. So, too, did the pieds noirs, the French expelled from newly independent Algeria in 1962, as well as the harkis, the Algerians who had backed the French colonialists, and thousands of Jews. In addition to a host of universities and research centers, the aerospace giant Airbus is based here, attracting engineers and scientists from around the world. So while Muslims across France speak of feeling vilified, this city has largely been spared the tensions that surround Islam. “ It is true that from time to time we are subjected to hateful political discourse,” said Mohamed Tataï, the imam at the mosque El Nour in Empalot, a poor neighborhood."

"text": "\"Islamism Grows Stronger at the United Nations David Littman Middle East Quarterly Volume 6: Number 3Tweet Share David Littman, a historian, is a representative to the United Nations (Geneva) of the Association for World Education. In recent years, representatives of some Muslim states have demanded, and often received, special treatment at the United Nations mostly via the Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR). As a result, non-diplomatic terms such as \"\"blasphemy\"\" and defamation of Islam\"\" have seeped into the United Nations system, leading to a situation in which non-Muslim governments accept certain rules of conduct in conformity with Islamic law (the Shari`a) and acquiesce to a self-imposed silence regarding topics touching on Islam. This pattern of behavior has emerged with regard to a host of issues—Salman Rushdie, Muslim antisemitism, Islamic alternatives to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a \"\"defamation of Islam\"\" resolution, and the actions of the Sudanese government. Salman Rushdie The United Nations took little interest when Ayatollah Khomeini issued an edict in February 1989 that condemned British writer Salman Rushdie to death for his novel, The Satanic Verses, which is \"\"in opposition to Islam, the Prophet, and the Qur'an\"\" as the edict affirms; if anything, most member states tried to ignore the whole episode. It took four full years before the greatest freedom-of-expression case of our time found an even implicit mention in a UNCHR resolution (the one that annually criticizes Iran for human rights violations) : [The UNCHR] also expresses its grave concern that there are continuing threats to the life of a citizen of another State which appears to have the support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and whose case is mentioned in the report of the Special Representative. 1By 1999, the UNCHR chose to accept at face value \"\"the assurances given by the Government of Iran in New York in September 1998,\"\" 2 when Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi said his government would no longer seek to end Rushdie's life. In the process, the commission preferred to ignore Kharazi's acknowledgment that he was saying nothing new (\"\"We did not adopt a new position with regard to the apostate Salman Rushdie, and our position remains the same\"\"); 3 it also disregarded statements by leading regime officials threatening Rushdie's life. For example, it made no difference that ‘Ayatollah Hasan Sana'i, head of a leading foundation, stated on February 14, 1999, that \"\"Iran is serious and determined in the execution of God's order. The idea of Rushdie's annihilation is a living idea looking for an appropriate opportunity.\"\""

"text": "\"Print By Daniel Pipes - - Wednesday, September 12, 2012ANALYSIS/OPINION: Editor’s Note: In this fourth of a five-part series, Middle East and Islam specialist Daniel Pipes focuses on perceptions that Barack Obama is a Muslim, first by those close to him, then by Muslims and finally by the American public. Several people who know Barack Obama well perceive him as Muslim. Most remarkably, his half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, has stated: “My whole family was Muslim.” Her whole family, obviously, includes her half-brother, Barack. In June 2006, President Obama related how, after a long religious evolution, he “was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street in the Southside of Chicago one day and affirm my Christian faith” with an altar call. But when his pastor at Trinity United, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, was asked (by author Edward Klein in “The Amateur,” Page 40), “Did you convert Obama from Islam to Christianity?” Mr. Wright finessed the question, whether out of ignorance or discretion, replying enigmatically: “That’s hard to tell.” Note that he did not reject out of hand the idea that Mr. Obama had been a Muslim. Mr. Obama ’s 30-year-old half-brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama, who met him twice, told an interviewer in March 2009, “He may be behaving differently due to the position he is in, but on the inside, Barack Obama is Muslim. ”More generally, Muslims cannot shake the sense that under his proclaimed Christian identity, Mr. Obama truly is one of them."

"text": "\"Summary If these two nasty e-mail messages are any indication, the 2008 presidential campaign is becoming a very dirty one. One claims that Obama is \"\"certainly a racist\"\" by virtue of belonging to Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, which it says \"\"will accept only black parishoners\"\" and espouses a commitment to Africa. Actually, a white theology professor says he's been \"\"welcomed enthusiastically\"\" at the church, as have other non-blacks. Another e-mail claims that Obama \"\"is a Muslim,\"\" attended a \"\"Wahabi\"\" school in Indonesia, took his Senate oath on the Koran, refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and is part of an Islamic plot to take over the U. S. Each of these statements is false. These false appeals to bigotry and fear remind us of the infamous whispering campaign of eight years ago, when anonymous messages just before the South Carolina primary falsely accused Republican candidate John Mc Cain of fathering an illegitimate child by a black woman. Analysis We turn first to the most recent of these Internet whispering campaigns: a widely forwarded e-mail that says Barack Obama’s church, the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, is anti-American, will only accept black parishioners and tilts toward Africa at the expense of the United States. The e-mail claims Obama is therefore \"\"certainly a racist\"\" and \"\"desires to rule over America while his loyalty is totally vested in a Black Africa. \"\" We've had scores of queries about the accuracy of this one. It's bunk. For one thing, the church welcomes whites, according to a University of Chicago professor of divinity who says he has attended."

At 9:40 p.m., September 11, members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi resulting in the deaths of U. S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U. S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. [ 6] [7] Stevens was the first U. S. ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979. [ 8]At around 4:00 a.m. on September 12, the group launched a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one-mile (1.6 km) away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty [7] [9] [10] and wounding ten others. At the behest of the CIA, top U. S. officials initially described the attacks as the results of a spontaneous protest triggered by the recently released anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims. [ 11] Subsequent investigations showed that the attack was premeditated – although rioters and looters not originally part of the group may have joined in after the attacks began. [ 12] [13] [14]The National Review later labeled the attack Battle of Benghazi, [15] a name that has since been used by several media outlets to refer to the attacks. There is no definitive evidence that al-Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization participated in the Benghazi attack. [ 16] [17] [18] The United States immediately increased security worldwide at diplomatic and military facilities and began investigating the Benghazi attack. ["

Veterans Day honors those who served the United States in all wars, especially veterans.©bigstockphoto.com/Anthony Correia Observance Veterans Day is intended to honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans. It is marked by parades and church services and in many places the American flag is hung at half mast. A period of silence lasting two minutes may be held at 11am. Some schools are closed on Veterans Day, while others do not close, but choose to mark the occasion with special assemblies or other activities. Veterans Day is officially observed on November 11. However, if it falls on a week day, many communities hold their celebrations on the weekend closest to this date. This is to enable more people to attend and participate in the events."

"text": "\"Holidays Veterans Day The History of Veterans Day Military.com Veterans Day gives Americans the opportunity to celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of all U. S. veterans. However, most Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day, reports the Department of Veterans Affairs. What's more, some Americans don't know why we commemorate our Veterans on Nov.11. It's imperative that all Americans know the history of Veterans Day so that we can honor our former servicemembers properly. A Brief History of Veterans Day Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U. S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was \"\"dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'\"\" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U. S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word \"\"Armistice\"\" and inserting the word \"\"Veterans.\"\" With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day."

As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will now be able to extend certain benefits to Federal employees and annuitants who have legally married a spouse of the same sex, regardless of the employee’s or annuitant’s state of residency. OPM is currently in the process of updating and revising the website to reflect this change, and will be updating this information as soon as possible. Please check back in the coming weeks for updates. Introduction The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) administers entitlement to veterans' preference in employment under title 5, United States Code, and oversees other statutory employment requirements in titles 5 and 38. ( Title 38 also governs Veterans' entitlement to benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). ) Both title 5 and title 38 use many of the same terms, but in different ways. For example, service during a \"\"war\"\" is used to determine entitlement to Veterans' preference and service credit under title 5. OPM has always interpreted this to mean a war declared by Congress. But title 38 defines \"\"period of war\"\" to include many non-declared wars, including Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf."

S., allows U. S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and aliens lawfully in the United States who are in an eligible visa category to be classified as Florida residents for tuition purposes if the applicant or the dependent applicant’s parent/legal guardian has established legal residence in the state for at least 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the first day of classes of the term for which Florida residency is sought. The determination of dependent or independent status is important because it is the basis for whether the student has to submit his/her own documentation of residency (as an independent) or his/her parent’s or legal guardian’s documentation of residency (as a dependent). Definitions Dependent child: any person, whether or not living with his/her parent, who is eligible to be claimed by his/her parent as a dependent under the federal income tax code Initial enrollment: the first day of class at an institution of higher education Institution of higher education: any charter technical career center, career center operated by a school district, Florida College System institution, or state university Legal resident or resident: a person who has maintained his/her residence in Florida for the preceding year (12 months), has purchased a home which is occupied by him/her as his/her residence, or has established a domicile in Florida pursuant to s. 222.17, F. S. Non-resident for tuition purposes: a person who does not qualify for the in-state tuition rate Parent: the natural or adoptive parent or legal guardian of a dependent child Resident for tuition purposes: a person who qualifies as provided in this section for the in-state tuition rate Required Documentary Evidence To qualify as a Florida resident for tuition purposes, a person or, if that person is a dependent child, his/her parent or parents must have established and maintained legal residence in Florida for at least 12 consecutive months immediately prior to his/her initial enrollment in an institution of higher education. Every applicant for admission to an institution of higher education is required to make a statement as to his/her length of residence in the state and, further, shall establish that his/her presence or, if the applicant is a dependent child, the presence of his/her parent or parents in the state currently is, and during the requisite 12-month qualifying period was, for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide domicile, rather than for the purpose of maintaining a mere temporary residence or abode incidental to enrollment in an institution of higher education. This statement is captured with the completion of the residency affidavit portion of the application to the college. An applicant (student) must submit clear and convincing documentation that he/she (or a parent, adoptive parent or legal guardian, if a dependent) has been a Florida resident for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the first day of classes for which the student is enrolling. The residency determination must be documented by the submission of written or electronic verification that includes two or more of the documents listed below. As some evidence is more persuasive than others, more than two may be requested. No single piece of documentation will be considered conclusive. First Tier (at least one of the two documents submitted must be from this list)A Florida driver license A State of Florida identification card A Florida voter registration card A Florida vehicle registration Proof of a permanent home in Florida which is occupied as a primary residence by the individual or by the individual’s parent if the individual is a dependent child Proof of homestead exemption in Florida Transcripts from a Florida high school for multiple years (two or more years) if the Florida high school diploma or GED was earned within the last 12 months Proof of permanent full-time employment in Florida for at least 30 hours per week for a 12-month period Second Tier ( may be used in conjunction with documentation from First Tier)A declaration of domicile in Florida A Florida professional or occupational license A Florida incorporation Document evidencing family ties in Florida Proof of membership in a Florida-based charitable or professional organization Any other documentation that supports the student’s request for resident status, including, but not limited to, utility bills and proof of 12 consecutive months of payments; a lease agreement and proof of 12 consecutive months of payments; or an official state, federal, or court document evidencing legal ties to Florida."

An offeror may represent that it is a small business concern in connection with a specific solicitation if it meets the definition of a small business concern applicable to the solicitation and has not been determined by the Small Business Administration (SBA) to be other than a small business.

S. Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for the protection of the VA Medical Centers and other facilities such as VA hospitals (VAMC), Outpatient Clinics (OPC) and Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) operated by United States Department of Veterans Affairs and its subsidiary components of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) as well as the National Cemetery Administration (NCA) and the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) respectively. The VA Police have several divisions and operate separately but alongside the VA Law Enforcement Training Center (VA LETC) under the umbrella of the Office of Security and Law Enforcement. The primary role of VA Police is to serve as a protective uniformed police force in order to deter and prevent crime, maintain order, and investigate crimes (ranging from summary to felony offenses) which may have occurred within the jurisdiction of the Department or its federal assets. Some cases are investigated in conjunction with agents from the Office of the Inspector General (VA OIG). The Office of Security and Law Enforcement (OS&LE) is the parent agency of the VA Police within the Law Enforcement Oversight & Criminal Investigation Division (LEO/CID) which provides national oversight to individual VA Police Services at each location throughout the United States. They also facilitate support, guidance, funds and regulation of the Police Service and their corresponding independent facilities. Upper level management and specialty positions other than Police Officer include (in no particular order); Detective and Special Agent (1811 Series Criminal Investigator). Other semi standardized rank structures are developed within each VA Police Service at the local level. These serve to reflect job title, function, and/or role and range from Sergeant to Chief. The VA Police also maintain groups of specialty service elements such as K-9, bicycle, boat and motorcycle patrols."

It’s a likely scenario since there are just a few more working days for lawmakers to come to an agreement and there’s no sign of that in sight. Here’s what you need to know about how a government shutdown could affect you. What’s a Government Shutdown and Why Is This Happening? Without an approved budget plan, government agencies will no longer have access to federal funds come October 1st. Effectively, it’s like a business not having any cash flow and being forced to put up “Sorry we’re closed” signs. If a government shutdown happens, some government services will continue to operate thanks to the Antideficiency Act (nice name, right? ), which allows “essential” government services—such as the military and air traffic control—to keep operating even without authorized funds. A great many government functions, however—from national parks and federally funded scientific research to the FDA’s inspection of food and approval of new prescription drugs—will come to a halt during the shutdown furlough until Congress can come to a resolution. The FDA Isn't Inspecting Food During The Government Shutdown E-coli outbreaks crop up every now and then."

"text": "\"AAdjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)These are mortgages where the interest rates can fluctuate based on what's happening in the greater economic landscape. Most ARMs allow for an annual rate change based on the one-year Treasury bill index. Annual Percentage Rate (APR)This rate reflects the total cost of borrowing money, including the interest rate and other costs built into the loan amount. The interest rate and the APR are typically different, and veterans should look at both when comparing VA lenders. Two loans can have similar interest rates, but the one with a higher APR will cost more. Appraisal Mortgage appraisals help determine the fair market value of a property by comparing it to nearby homes that have sold recently. In the case of a VA loan, the appraisal also aims to protect homebuyers from buying a home for more than it’s worth. The VA requires that any home purchased with a VA guaranteed loan meets certain minimum property requirements, so a VA appraiser will also note any health and safety concerns. A home inspection is also recommended, as it can provide a more thorough look at a property’s structural integrity and major systems. Automated Underwriting System (AUS)This computer system utilized by select VA-approved lenders allows for an automatic approval on a borrower's loan application."

( AP Photo/Seth Wenig) Seth Wenig Nov. 11 is Veterans Day, a time set aside to honor Americans who served in the armed forces. The origins of the holiday date back to U. S. President Woodrow Wilson, who proclaimed Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919 to mark the end of World War I. The armistice between Germany and the Allied nations that ended WWI was signed on that day and a ceasefire went into effect on the 11 th hour of Nov. 11, 1918. The war didn't have its official end until seven months later, when, on June 28, 1919, the parties signed the Treaty of Versailles in France. On June 4, 1926, Congress passed its own resolution asking President Calvin Coolidge to issue another proclamation to observe Nov. 11 as a holiday designed to celebrate world peace and the end of WWI. President Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill into law in 1954 and Congress voted to change the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Friday is a state and national holiday some some offices will be closed and services unavailable. Here's a look at Veterans Day 2016 closures and openings: Closed Federal offices State offices Banks U. S. Postal Service offices, no mail delivered Federal, state and local courts Most municipal offices Most libraries Huntsville Public Transportation Open New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Fed Ex UPSABC Stores Grocery stores - Most major supermarkets will be open.

The shutdown will have far-reaching effects throughout the US. Though some services – mail delivery, Social Security and Medicare benefits – are not affected, others, like national parks and routine safety inspections of food, are curtailed as the majority of federal employees tasked with their operation have been ordered not to report to work on Tuesday. A look at how a shutdown will affect other services across the federal government: Federal workers About 800,000 federal employees are not furloughed and will not be paid. Already hit hard by several unpaid furlough days caused by sequestration this year some workers have begun lobbying to receive back pay in the event of a shutdown. While Congress agreed to retroactively pay them during previous shutdowns, the fractured nature of this Congress makes such a step unlikely."

"text": "Purpose Of This Guide Veterans in Connecticut receive nearly $4 million a year in federal dollars to help with educational costs. These benefits are awarded only if veterans attend approved postsecondary programs, schools or colleges. This guide summarizes - for school and college officials - the requirements for gaining approval for educational programs enrolling veterans. Approval ensures that these programs lead either to a formal degree or to a vocational or professional objective. Approval also allows the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs to determine individual benefit amounts and length of assistance as well as to monitor a veteran’s academic progress and credits earned. In Connecticut, the Office of Higher Education serves as the State Approving Agency for veterans’ programs, as provided by Title 38 of the United States Code. What types of programs/schools must be approved? Any educational institution which enrolls, or is likely to enroll, veterans in postsecondary programs must be approved by the Connecticut Office of Higher Education. Examples are:colleges and universitiesprivate occupational schoolshairdressing and cosmetology schoolshospital training and residency programshigh school diploma, G. E.

Roosevelt's New Deal in the spring of 1933. They were the young men of the Civilian Conservation Corps. They opted for long days and hard, dirty work, living in quasi-military camps often far from home in the nation's publicly owned forests and parks. But they earned money to send back to their needy families, received three square meals a day, and escaped from idle purposelessness by contributing to the renewal and beautification of the country. By the time the CCC program ended as the nation was entering World War II, more than 2.5 million men had served in more than 4,500 camps across the country. The men had planted over 3 billion trees, combated soil erosion and forest fires, and occasionally dealt with natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. In office only a few days in early March 1933, Roosevelt began to tackle the crisis threatening the nation with this unprecedented experiment in federal work relief."

"text": "\"History of Hanukkah The events that inspired the Hanukkah holiday took place during a particularly turbulent phase of Jewish history. Around 200 B. C., Judea—also known as the Land of Israel—came under the control of Antiochus III, the Seleucid king of Syria, who allowed the Jews who lived there to continue practicing their religion. His son, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, proved less benevolent: Ancient sources recount that he outlawed the Jewish religion and ordered the Jews to worship Greek gods. In 168 B. C., his soldiers descended upon Jerusalem, massacring thousands of people and desecrating the city’s holy Second Temple by erecting an altar to Zeus and sacrificing pigs within its sacred walls. Did You Know? The story of Hanukkah does not appear in the Torah because the events that inspired the holiday occurred after it was written. It is, however, mentioned in the New Testament, in which Jesus attends a \"\"Feast of Dedication. \"\" Led by the Jewish priest Mattathias and his five sons, a large-scale rebellion broke out against Antiochus and the Seleucid monarchy. When Matthathias died in 166 B. C., his son Judah, known as Judah Maccabee (“the Hammer”), took the helm; within two years the Jews had successfully driven the Syrians out of Jerusalem, relying largely on guerilla warfare tactics. Judah called on his followers to cleanse the Second Temple, rebuild its altar and light its menorah—the gold candelabrum whose seven branches represented knowledge and creation and were meant to be kept burning every night."

All the signs are in place, from the trays of jelly-filled sufganiyot (Hanukkah doughnuts) that line the bakery shelves to the menorahs, or hanukkiyot (as they’re called in Hebrew) adorned with candles, to winter menus of savory stews and soups. True, it would be nice to have a drop of rain or a drop in temperature and be able to don a heavy coat or sweater, to make the season seem a tad more real, but Jerusalemites are eager to officially usher in the winter. UNCOVER ISRAEL - Get the ISRAEL21c Weekly Edition free by email Sign Up Now!While at the best of times Jerusalem winters are short, they are nevertheless filled with chilly, rainy days that lend themselves to typically Jerusalem winter activities. Eating heavy, ethnic foods is one; tramping along cold cobblestones to see winter-only sights is another. Yet a wintry Middle East offers pleasures unavailable in more northern climes, such as wintertime strawberries and spring-like wildflowers, doughnut hunts and warming kube soup. Some of these activities are known to all, others may not seem specific to winter.

The descendants of Mattathias The Maccabees, also spelled Machabees ( Hebrew: מכבים or מקבים , Maqabim; Latin: Machabaei or Maccabaei; Greek: Μακκαβαῖοι, Makkabaioi ), were a group of Jewish rebel warriors who took control of Judea, which at the time was part of the Seleucid Empire. [ 1] [2] They founded the Hasmonean dynasty, which ruled from 167 BCE to 37 BCE, being a fully independent kingdom from about 110 to 63 BCE.

The name Maccabee was a personal epithet of Judah, [4] and the later generations were not his direct descendants.

[ 5] The traditional Jewish explanation is that Maccabee ( Hebrew: מכבים Machabi, מכבים) is an acronym for the Torah verse that was the battle-cry of the Maccabees, \"\" M i ch amocha ba' elim Y HWH \"\", \"\"Who is like You among the heavenly powers, Lord! \"\", [ 6] [7] as well as an acronym for \"\" M atityahu ha K ohen b en Y ochanan.

It is used during Hanukkah to play a popular children's game that involves spinning the dreidel and betting on which Hebrew letter will be showing when the dreidel stops spinning. Children usually play for a pot of gelt — chocolate coins covered in gold-colored tin foil — but they can also play for candy, nuts, raisins, or any small treat. Dreidel is a Yiddish word that comes from the German word \"\"drehen,\"\" which means “to turn.” In Hebrew, the dreidel is called a \"\"sevivon,\"\" which comes from the root \"\"savov,\"\" which also means \"\"to turn. \"\" Origins of the Dreidel There are several theories about the origin of the dreidel, but Jewish tradition has it that a game similar to the dreidel game was popular during the rule of Antiochus IV, who ruled the Seleucid Empire (centered on territory that is present-day Syria) during the second century B. C. During this period, Jews were not free to openly practice their religion, so when they gathered to study the Torah, they would bring a top with them. If soldiers appeared, they would quickly hide what they were studying and pretend to be playing a gambling game with the top. Meaning of the Hebrew Letters on a Dreidel A dreidel has one Hebrew letter on each side. Outside of Israel, those letters are: נ (Nun), ג (Gimmel), ה (Hay), and ש (Shin), which stand for the Hebrew phrase \"\"Nes Gadol Haya Sham.\"\" This phrase means \"\"A great miracle happened there [in Israel]. \"\"After the State of Israel was founded in 1948, the Hebrew letters were changed for dreidels used in Israel."

Tori authors “ The History Kitchen ” blog for PBS Food, and was previously featured in our Kitchen Careers interview series. Tori shares her recipe for cheese latkes below. Did you know that in addition to fried foods, dairy foods are also traditionally associated with Hanukkah? The custom of eating dairy foods for Hanukkah dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Book of Judith played an important role in the Hanukkah narrative. Judith was a celebrated Jewish heroine who saved her village from an invading Assyrian army. A beautiful widow, she plied the Assyrian army’s general Holofernes with wine and salty cheese. When the general passed out drunk, Judith beheaded him with his own sword. The Israelites launched a surprise attack on the leaderless Assyrian army and emerged victorious."

When traditions overlap Interfaith families face the dilemma of how to celebrate with respect, understanding BARBARA KARKABI, Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle Published 6:30 am, Friday, December 23, 20051In the past two weeks Martha Kennedy has polished her grandmother's menorah and brought out the family's Christmas decorations. On Christmas morning she will sit by a tree decorated with ornaments from the family's travels and open presents with her husband and two children. At sundown, she will light the first candle of Hanukkah and say a blessing in Hebrew. For this first time since 1959, Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah fall on the same day. December has always been a balancing act for interfaith families like the Kennedys — she's Jewish; her husband, Jerry, was raised as a Christian — because the Jewish Festival of Lights generally falls during the same month that Christians celebrate the birth of Christ. Some have called it the \"\"December Dilemma;\"\" The O. C., a Fox television show, merged the two holidays in a 2003 episode and dubbed the result \"\"Chrismukkah.\"\" Commercialism followed, and now there are Chrismukkah cards, candles and even a cookbook. The number of families trying to respect two religions is growing. According to the National Jewish Population Survey 2000-01, 47 percent of Jews who wed since 1996 have married people of other faiths."

VIEW OUR COLLECTION OF HANDCRAFTED HANNUKAH MENORAHS - A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING, BAR/BAT MITZVAH, OR HANUKKAH GIFT IDEAThe Meaning of Hannukah: Dedication The meaning of Hannukah is rooted in Jewish themes and stories going back over two thousand years ago. The menorah, or Hanukiya (the Hebrew word for candelabra) has become one of the symbols of Judaism, visualized by the nine slotted Hanukkah Menorah. What is Hannukah? Hannukah itself goes by many names, called by some the Festival of Lights, and others the Feast of Dedication. It is an eight-day celebration which begins at sundown on the 25th day of December, the 25th day of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar. Hannukah is a commemoration of the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem in 167 BC. The story tells of how the Maccabees rejected the occupier Antiochus Epiphanes and retook the temple against great odds. When Judah Maccabee rededicated the temple, they did not have enough oil, but for one day."

There are many different ways to light the chanukiyah. How do you light yours? The Objects The chanukiyah (ha-new-key-uh) is better known as a Hanukkah menorah, although the two are very different objects of Judaica. Although both are a type of candelabra, the chanukiyah has nine branches while the menorah only has seven. The former has eight places for lighting with a ninth spot for the shamash (\"\"helper\"\" or \"\"servant\"\"), which is the light used to light the other branches. On each night of Hanukkah, the shamash is lit first and then the others, whether oil or candles, are lit one by one. The Source The chanukiyah is the symbol that represents the miracle of Hanukkah (חנוכה). In the Second Century B. C., during the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem, the oil that lit the menorah lasted a miraculous eight nights instead of just one. The story of Hanukkah is recorded in the books of I and II Maccabees, which are not part of the Jewish canon, making the holiday a unique aspect of the Jewish calendar and one of the first \"\"modern\"\" holidays to enter the cycle of holidays."

Image Source/Cadalpe / Getty Imagesby Ariela Pelaia Updated October 23, 2017The hanukkiyah, pronounced ha-noo-kee-yah, is also known as a Hanukkah menora. A hanukkiyah is a candelabrum with eight candleholders in a row and a ninth candleholder set a slightly higher than the others. It's different from a menorah, which has seven branches and was used in the Temple before it was destroyed in 70 C. E. A hanukkiyah is nevertheless a kind of menorah. The hanukkiyah is used during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah and commemorates the miracle of the oil lasting for much longer than it should have. According to the Hanukkah story, once Jewish revolutionaries had retaken the Temple from the Syrians they wanted to rededicate it to God and restore its ritual purity. Eight days worth of oil were needed to complete the ritual purification, but they were only able to find enough oil for the menorah to burn for one day. They lit the menorah with the remaining one day's worth of oil, and miraculously the oil lasted for eight full days. In commemoration of this event, Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days and a candle is lit on the hanukkiyah on each of those days. A new candle is lit every night so that by the time you have reached the eighth night of Hanukkah, all of the candles on the hanukkiyah are lit."

In the western calendar Hanukkah is celebrated in November or December. The word Hanukkah means rededication and celebrates one of the greatest miracles in Jewish history. The story of Hanukkah The festival reminds Jews of a time over 2500 years ago when Antiochus, a Syrian king, tried to make the Jewish people worship Greek gods. A statue of Antiochus was erected in the Jewish temple and the Jews were ordered to bow down before him. The Ten Commandments forbid Jews to worship statues or idols and so they refused. A small group of Jews called Maccabees rebelled, and after a three year war they recaptured Jerusalem from the Syrians. But the temple was all but destroyed. The Jews had to clean and repair the Temple, and when they were finished they rededicated it to God."

However, the greeting card industry knows that, other than Christmas, most of the biggest card-sending holidays of the year don't actually fall in December. In fact, spring holidays account for the third, fourth and fifth spots on the list of most popular holidays to send cards, while Hanukkah and New Years don't even make the cut at all. Here's how all of your favorite holidays stack up when it comes to sending greeting cards, according to the Greeting Card Association:1. Christmas Christmas may be the only major December holiday to make the list, but it takes the top spot in a huge way. In fact, with around 1.5 billion cards purchased each year, more Christmas cards are sent each year than every other holiday on the list combined – a lot more. Christmas cards account for around 60 percent of all holiday card sales each year. It's no surprise considering, along with individuals and families, many businesses take part as well – business Christmas cards are a very popular way for companies to send annual thank yous to clients, customers and employees.2. Valentine's Day Commonly dubbed the \"\"greeting card holiday,\"\" Valentine's Day comes in second place for number of greeting cards purchased and sent each year. Over 143 million Valentine's Day cards are sent to significant others, family members and friends each year – and that's not counting the small Valentines that school children hand out each year."

Against all odds, the courageous, resourceful, and badly outnumbered Jewish freedom fighters, David-like, slew the Syrian Goliath.

Sasha, a renowned classical pianist and the founder of the World Youth Leadership Network (WYLN) - a non-profit organization that aims to unite the international youth community through good works and cultural exchange - had just arrived from Japan, where he was giving a concert in Yaotsu - Chiune Sugihara`s hometown. When I asked him who this man was, he simply said he is one of the greatest humanitarians that ever lived. A Japanese diplomat during World War II, Sugihara risked his life, his career, and his family’s livelihood to save 6,000 Jews from the Holocaust. Because of this, Sugihara became known as the “Japanese Schindler”. Sasha then handed me a book entitled Visas for Life, an autobiography written by Sugihara`s wife Yukiko, and a documentary called Conspiracy of Kindness. “ Let me know what you think,” Sasha said, “Because this man is going to be the role model of WYLN.” Sasha continued to explain that Sugihara’s story is a perfect vehicle to instill in younger generations a love for other human beings, the motivation to care for others, and - most of all – to emphasize how can one person make a difference in this world. I finished reading the book in couple of hours, unable to put it down. This story of such rare courage, self-sacrifice, and kindness filled my heart with great compassion towards this man and his family."

Commonly known as the Full Buck Moon, this month's full moon symbolizes the time of year when male deer rear their new antlers. More The full moon of July will rise tonight (July 19), bringing us a lunar charm commonly known as the Full Buck Moon. A full moon occurs each month when the sun, Earth, and moon line up. At this time, the Earth-facing side of the moon is completely lit up by sunlight. This month, the full moon rises to its prime at 6:57 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. However, for some unaided observers, the monthly full moon appears full about a day before and after the actual full moon phase The moniker Full Buck Moon symbolizes the time of the year when male deer, known as bucks, start to grow their new antlers. While this nickname is most commonly used, it is only one of the many lunar names for this month's full moon. [ The Full Moon: Why It Happens | Video]July's full moon has also been called the Full Thunder Moon and the Full Hay Moon, as July is considered to be the season with the most frequent thunderstorms and the time of year when farmers harvest, bale and stow hay for the upcoming winter. Full moons generally rise once a month — with the exception of a \"\" Blue Moon ,\"\" which appears twice in a month — and the variety of names given to these spectacular lunar events stems from ancient cultures, including Native American tribes living in the northeast U.

Normally there is one full moon per month (the first full moon this month was on July 2), but because the lunar calendar and human calendar aren’t exactly synced, about every three years or so the moon’s calendar yields two full moons in the same calendar month. ( The calendar year has 365.24 days; while the lunar month has 29.53 days, yielding 11 leftover days after the moon’s twelfth cycle.) The last time this happened in the Americas, for instance, was in Aug. 2012. The next time it’s expected is in 2018. True to the expression, this makes it a rare occurrence, as does the fact that today’s moon will be a notably large and bright ‘super moon.’ That happens when the moon reaches its closest distance from Earth."

Well, sort of. In fact, the same side of the moon always faces the planet, but part of it is in shadow. And, in reality most of the time the \"\"full moon\"\" is never perfectly full. Only when the moon, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned is the moon 100 percent full, and that alignment produces a lunar eclipse. And sometimes — once in a blue moon — the moon is full twice in a month (or four times in a season, depending on which definition you prefer). [ The Moon: 10 Surprising Facts]The next full moon will be on Sunday, April 29.

I tried it on my beer buddy Mobelly’s recommendation, and I have to say it earned a soft, wheaty spot in my heart. Blue Moon is a belgian-style white beer. The beer poured to a cloudy orange-copper color. The cloudiness comes from the unfiltered nature of this ale. The color can only be called extremely appropriate, as I smelled orange before my nose even neared the glass. On the pour I notice a medium head that seems to last a good long while. The nose, once I got past the orange, also had a nice wheat bread dough aroma to it. I thought it had a very smooth mouthfeel to it, with mild carbonation, though I did think it could have been fuller bodied."

"text": "\"Once in a Blue Moon – The Origins and Meaning Behind the Phrase Once in a Blue Moon The Origins and Meaning Behind the Phrase By John P. Millis, Ph. DSpace/Astronomy Expert You’ve probably heard the phrase “once in a blue Moon”, usually referring to a rare event. But where does the phrase come from? And does the Moon ever actually appear blue? The Meaning of “Blue Moon”Dating back to the 1800’s the term “blue moon” was used by the Farmer’s Almanac to denote the appearance of a third full Moon in a season where four full Moon’s will occur. Since there are normally 12 full Moon’s a year (one per month), this works out to three per quarter (three month period). However, occasionally a quarter will see four full Moon’s. The naming arises because each Moon in a given season has its own name. This tradition of naming full Moons has existed for hundreds of years across many cultures. The names generally accepted today are those coming from the Farmer’s Almanac."

The Thai calendar also includes many holidays and festivals which are not official holidays. Below is the complete calendar of Thai Holidays and Festivals for 2017-2018The majority of shops and entertainment venues may be open on public holidays but government buildings and offices tend to be closed. Department stores and tourist attractions can be particularly busy on public holidays so it is best for those averse to crowds to keep away. During these times there is no access to non-emergency government services. Simple banking should not be a problem. Branches in shopping malls normally stay open, and all ATMs operate as usual. Foreign exchange booths normally also stay open. However, remember if planning to renew a visa, or send something from a post office, or use the main branch of a bank, not to go on these days.

A supermoon is a new or full moon closely coinciding with perigee, the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit. According to the original definition of supermoon – coined by Richard Nolle in 1979 – a full moon or new moon has to come within about 224,000 miles (361,000 km) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth, in order to be considered a supermoon. When is the next one? We just passed a series of three full supermoons, one in December 2017 and two in January 2018. Of these, the January 1 supermoon was the closest and largest. Thus it was the closest and largest full supermoon of 2018. Still to come in 2018 … a series of new moon supermoons will occur when the new moon closely pair ups with perigee on June 13, July 13 and August 11. Here’s a comparison between the December 3, 2017, full moon at perigee (closest to Earth for the month) and the year’s farthest full moon in June 2017 at apogee (farthest from Earth for the month) by Muzamir Mazlan at Telok Kemang Observatory, Port Dickson, Malaysia."

What is a Blue Moon? There are in fact two definitions for a blue moon. According to the more recent definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a blue moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days). The Other Kind of Blue Moon The older definition, which is recorded in early issues of the Maine Farmer's Almanac, states that the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. The full Moon in May 2016, will be this type of blue moon. Why would one want to identify the third full moon in a season of four full moons?"

Read some of the reactions from the stargazers behind the photos: Blue Moon Majesty Wows Stargazers (Photos )When the full moon rises tonight (Aug. 20), it will technically be a Blue Moon, but not for the reason you might think. The Blue Moon tonight is not the second full moon of August, but actually gets its name from a relatively obscure rule of astronomy. And there are a few other details about the full moon that might surprise you. So to celebrate the Blue Moon, here are five amazing facts about this month's full moon: Thought to be called \"\"blue\"\" after an old english term meaning \"\"betrayer,\"\" a Blue Moon is an extra full moon that occurs due to a quirk of the calendar. [ See the full Blue Moon Infographic here . ] Credit: Karl Tate, SPACE.com1) It's not really blue: Okay, so not really a newsflash, but the Blue Moon's name actually has nothing to do with color. Occasionally, the full moon can take on a reddish pallor, but today's full moon is not related to the actual color of Earth's cosmic neighbor."

The 'supermoon' appeared 16 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter than normal as it reached the point in its orbit closest to the Earth, known as 'perigee'. Many enthusiasts grabbed their mobile phones to take a snapshot of the glimmering spectacle - which also came at the start of the Perseid meteor shower. Stargazers around the world, including in London, New York, Beijing, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro, looked up into the night sky to catch a glimpse of the phenomenon. Supermoons, which are known to cause higher tides, occur every 13 months and 18 days, but are not always noticed because of cloudy weather. Last night it was just 221,765 miles from Earth This year there are five supermoons, two new moons in January and full moons in July, August and September. The spectacular glow created by the bright moon sparked a deluge of comments on Twitter over night. One user said he was 'dumbstruck' by the spectacle while another wrote: 'Check out the supermoon. Hopefully it's clear where you are. It looks amazing here around Cambridge. '"

It is the winter midpoint or cross-quarter day. The duskiest, coldest season is now officially half over!Though the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, the day with the fewest sunlit hours, is the time when the sun reaches its nadir and begins its return journey back toward us in the Northern Hemisphere, it isn’t until six weeks later at Midwinter that the gradual reappearance of the light begins to be apparent. We can finally glimpse the distant light at the end of the long winter tunnel. The days are perceptibly longer now. There is the faintest whisper of a breath of the coming of spring in the air. A subtle frisson. There begin to be signs: the first tiny buds, like goose bumps on bare skin, begin to form on naked branches. Snowdrops appear, pushing their fragile blooms up through the still frosty soil. Hibernating animals begin a restless stir in their underground nests."

Not every thing is consistent. – Mitch Aug 15 '13 at 12:361@Mitch First that is the scientific name lots of people call it a half moon still and the reason is that it is when the moon is one fourth (first fourth) or three fourths (third quarter) through it's orbit around earth – user53034 Sep 28 '13 at 22:50I'd add to that that you don't even need to be aware of the orbit, just that the moon goes from \"\"full\"\" to \"\"none\"\" to \"\"full again\"\".

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Semester\"\" redirects here. For the astronomical sense of the term semester, see Eclipse cycle. An academic term (or simply \"\"term\"\") is a portion of an academic year, the time during which an educational institution holds classes. The schedules adopted vary widely. A quarter system divides the academic year into four terms, one per season, with attendance required in three quarters per year to total 32 to 36 weeks of instruction. A semester system divides the academic year into two terms of equal length, with attendance required in both semesters to total 32 to 36 weeks of instruction. There is often an optional summer session half as long as a full semester. A trimester system divides the academic year into three terms of 14 to 16 weeks each, with attendance required in two trimesters per year, to total 28 to 32 weeks of instruction. The trimester evolved from the semester system in the 1960s and, thus, is compatible with it (i.e. it is simply a semester shortened from 16–18 weeks to 14–16 weeks). The spring-summer trimester may be a full trimester or may be divided into distinct spring and summer half-trimester or shorter sessions, in which classes meet double-time (or greater) to provide the same instruction that would be received in a full trimester."

You gotta love a holiday centered around weather. You might think it’s about the animal, but no, any hibernating animal will do just as well. The real reason Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2nd is that it is close to the midpoint of winter, halfway between the solstice and the equinox. Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, we still officially have six (and a half) more weeks of winter. This is the turning point of the season, and for pre-industrial societies (particularly farmers), the midwinter date was a day to take stock and determine whether you have enough food and firewood to last the rest of the winter. If you miscalculated the previous fall, or you found that the grain is full of weevils and your cow started looking skinny, you had good reason to look for omens of an early spring.

"text": "Answer by RUClimate Confidence votes 41.4KPoland's Climate through the seasons: Winter The transition from autumn to winter is fairly hesitant, and the rain and sleet only slowly give way to snow as autumn turns to winter some time between late November and the end of December. Due to its northerly location (same latitude as England and the Canadian prairies), Poland can experience some brutally cold conditions during the winter months, but the vast majority of the time, the weather is moderated by the Gulf Stream and the temperature is rarely outside the single digits below or above freezing (usually between 15 and 50F). Whether Atlantic or continental influences win out for a given month is anybody's guess. One could describe a typical winter's day in Poland as being slightly below freezing, calm, mostly cloudy and misty, with the odd ray of sunshine and a snow flurry or two. Snowfall is typically light, and during a typical winter, snow cover will peak at a few inches of snow up to about a foot, depending on the region. Naturally, exceptional snow events do occur, and even frequent light to moderate snow can accumulate to several feet if temperatures consistently remain below freezing. Snow depths in excess of about 50cm (20 inches) are generally only confined to mountainous regions, however. In Poland, winter is the most unpredictable season and can range from rather mild to very cold. For example, January 2006 was extremely cold, with temperatures averaging around minus 8C (17F) and several nights reaching as low as minus 30 to 35C (20 to 30F below zero). For a large part of the country, there wasn't a single day above freezing for over a month."

The stem gets either small onions on it or flowers then seeds depending on the type it is. You plant the seeds or baby onions to get more.

"text": "\"Make Fresh Spring Rolls Stay Fresh (longer)This past weekend was my son's first birthday, so I was on a mission to cook a lot of food by myself. I even planned to bake his own mini cake with cupcakes, but then I got sick and didn't feel like doing all that cooking anymore. I decided a day or two earlier to cater half the food and order a cake. Fortunately I did that because even after waking up at 4:30 in the morning, I almost didn't finish cooking everything. And fortunately for my guests, they got to eat a yummy cake since I am not the best baker. : P It just feels good to make something yourself, especially for your little one, you know? Oh well, next time. Since I bought so much ingredients, I might as well attempt to make some cupcakes from scratch this week. One of the things I did make were fresh spring rolls. I think the best spring rolls are the ones you make at home, because you can put anything you like in them and they are truly fresh."

"text": "« High School Baseball Programs | Home | Batting Coach Question »How Many Hours Does a Baseball Player Work?? By Jean Bedord | October 22, 2007From Ask the Baseball Pro: Kevin wrote: What is the average amount of hours a professional baseball player works in a year? From the Baseball Pro: Kevin, This is a hard question to answer because we do not have normal work schedules. Also we must work out at the gym so I guess you must count that as work also. On most day games you spend a minimum of 8 hours at the park. You get there at 2 for some early hitting or throwing, batting practice starts at 3:30 and the game is not over til 10 or so. Spring training days tend to be a minimum of 8 hours as well. So 140 something games a year plus 30 days of spring training bring us to 170 days. 170 days times 8 hours a day comes to 1360 hours. Add in 1 hour of gym time every other day during the season and you get 85 more hours."

They say the birds is on the wing. Ain’t that absurd? I always thought the wing was on the bird. When I was young, my father often used to recite the first two lines of this poem at the first hint of spring. For some reason (perhaps the catchiness of the words?!?!?) it is one of those rhymes I’ve never forgotten, and it resurfaces every year about this time – I even used to recite it to my own boys when they were little . ( Confession: I had to look up the rest of the poem online – and while it has often been credited to Ogden Nash or ee cummings, the author is, in fact, the very famous poet, “Anonymous”). I found myself repeating this little poem (silently, to myself) yesterday."

It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend and it is considered the unofficial end of summer in the United States. It is recognized as a federal holiday. Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. \"\" Labor Day\"\" was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday."

"text": "\"Spain Americans will recognize some of Spain's national holidays. Spain even has a national day set aside to honor Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World. It is important to know before you travel to Spain which days are national holidays because these can affect your travel plans due to federal offices being closed and certain customs being observed. New Year's Day Like most other countries, Spain officially recognizes the first day of the new calendar year as a holiday. New Year's Day is traditionally observed at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve by consuming 12 grapes. The significance of the 12 has to do with the months, of course, and the grapes themselves are intended to ensure happiness each month. Spaniards celebrate New Year's Day with fireworks but also by eating chocolate with fritters, or chocolate con churros. Epiphany Celebrated on January 6, Epiphany is perhaps better known in the English-speaking world as Twelfth Night. It is a religious holiday connected with Christmas that observes the bringing of gifts to baby Jesus by the Wise Men. Indeed, in Spain many people don't open their Christmas presents until Epiphany."

After all, Labor Day is next week and doesn’t that mean it’s time to get back to work, stop going to the pool, and start planning winter vacation? Doesn’t it mean a last barbecue, a neighborhood softball game, and a final long weekend before autumn arrives? But what about celebrating “Labor”? Isn’t it called “Labor Day”? When my kids were young I remember one of them posing a similar question: “Why doesn’t anybody work on Labor Day?” my daughter asked. So I tried to explain that this wasn’t a day about “labor” per se, but rather a day to celebrate the Labor Movement."

By law, every country in the European Union has at least four work weeks of paid vacation. Austria, which guarantees workers the most time off, has a legal minimum of 22 paid vacation days and 13 paid holidays each year. The average private sector U.

Based on a report released by the Center for Economic Policy and Research (CEPR), 24/7 Wall St. identified the countries where workers get at least 30 days off a year. Several nations providing workers with a great deal of time off can afford to be generous. Germany, where the economy remains strong, had an unemployment rate of just 5.5% in 2012. Similarly, New Zealand's unemployment rate was just 6.9% last year. Both are well below the 8.0% Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) unemployment rate, as well as the 8.1% rate in the United States."

"text": "Labor Day in Thailand When: May 1st Where: Nationwide / National Holiday A Clear Message Labor Day in Thailand celebrates the achievements of laborers from Thailand (sort of) and falls on the same day as its international cousin, International Labor Day. Unfortunately, Labor Day in Thailand doesn’t carry much weight as of yet and that’s understandable since only 2% of Thailand’s 40 million workforce belong to labor unions. And as labor issues grow, e.g., instances of child labor, migrant worker, low-wage long-hour abuse and unsafe working conditions; hopefully so will awareness for the need to protect workers rights. How fast awareness grows among Thai laborers is hard to know and this may be attributed to a cultural class structure that could inhibit laborers from speaking out and organizing and strengthening current labor laws. It’s also important to know that I’m only a casual observer, and I do not claim to have a deep understanding of the current labor issues or Thai culture for that matter. But when your theme for the day’s festivities is “Don’t Do Drugs,” which in it’s own right is commendable, but misses the point of what Labor Day is all about, the celebration of workers and their efforts in overcoming unacceptable working conditions and achieving a fair pay for a fair day’s work. The Parade That said, Labor Day in Thailand was a well-organized event with a lot of local businesses and workers in attendance. A marching band lead the procession while various other percussion groups were scattered along the parade line. And as usual the banner guards were three beautiful women dressed in traditional Thai fashion, they followed just behind the Marching Band. The parade had energy and enthusiasm that was easily felt throughout the celebration, and let me tell you the sun was intense, yet not so intense to stop the drumbeat for singing and dancing."

( Mike Brantley/[email protected]) Mike Brantley Monday, Sept. 5 is Labor Day, a time set aside to honor the contributions of the American worker. The day traces its roots to the industrial revolution and the growth of labor unions. Congress made Labor Day a holiday for Washington, D. C. in 1894, with states following suit. Today the day - which is considered the unofficial end of summer - is commemorated with parties and parades. The weather should be ideal for a holiday in which many spend a great deal of time outdoors. Highs in Alabama will be in the upper 80s with early-morning lows in the 70s.

"text": "What’s Open and Closed on Labor Day 2017By Jeffrey Strain, August 30th, 2014 | 6 Comments »Updated for 2017As with many holidays that land on a Monday like Labor Day, it can be confusing to try to remember which businesses are open and which are not. If you plan to go out on Monday, September 4, then it is a good idea to know what is open and what is closed. This will allow you to avoid wasting time by not going to places which will be closed. Below you’ll find a breakdown of which businesses will be open and closed for Labor Day: Retail Stores Most major retailers are open. Most large retail stores will be open for Labor Day, with the exception of Costco. Many of these retail stores, such as Target, Walmart, and Macy’s will also be having special sales events throughout the entire holiday weekend. If you decide to include shopping as part of your Labor Day celebration, don’t forget that if you purchase items on sale due to the great price which you wouldn’t have bought otherwise, then you aren’t actually saving money. Drug Stores Drug stores are open. the three major drugstore chains (Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS Caremark) will be open on Labor Day. If you use an independent local drugstore, you should call them directly to determine if they will be open or if they will be operating during special hours for the holiday."

"text": "\"What does Labor Day stand for? September 5, 2011 | 5:00 am To many people, Labor Day means a three-day weekend. Picnics, barbecues, a farewell to summer -- and one last hurrah before the new school year gets underway in earnest. But Labor Day, which always takes place on the first Monday in September, was created to honor the contributions of the nation's working men and women and their achievements. Here's how the U. S. Labor Department describes the holiday: \"\"It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country. \"\" Photos: Los Angeles labor movement throughout history Perhaps not surprisingly, the holiday is the creation of the labor movement, which wanted a holiday to honor workers -- and highlight the need for labor reform laws. The Central Labor Union held the first Labor Day celebration in 1882 in New York City. The AFL-CIO, which represents about 12.2 million members, says that first holiday was marked by a march to demand an eight-hour workday and other labor law reforms. About 20,000 workers made their way up Broadway carrying signs that read “Labor Creates All Wealth” and “Eight Hours for Work, Eight Hours for Rest, Eight Hours for Recreation.” ( The AFL-CIO site offers a chronological look at such events via a timeline . )"

For many of us (but far from all of us ), it’s a welcome day off of work or school, ahead of what is likely to be a busier month than the last. But the Labor Day holiday has a storied past, one of violence and celebration, that’s embedded deep in the history of the American labor movement. And while it has spread around the world in different forms, Labor Day has distinctly American roots. Here’s a quick primer on the meaning and history of the holiday. When did Labor Day begin? The modern holiday is widely traced back to an organized parade in New York City in 1882. Union leaders had called for what they had labelled a “monster labor festival” on Tuesday, Sept. 5, according to Linda Stinson, a former historian for the Department of Labor (the idea for a general labor festival may have originated in Canada, which today also celebrates “Labour Day” on the first Monday in September). Initially that morning, few people showed up, and organizers worried that workers had been reluctant to surrender a day’s pay to join the rally. But soon the crowds began flowing in from across the city, and by the end of the day some 10,000 people had marched in the parade and joined festivities afterward in what the press dubbed “a day of the people."

The holiday may also be known as Labour Day or International Worker's Day and is marked with a public holiday in over 80 countries. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the American Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions demanded an eight-hour workday, to come in effect as of 1 May 1886. This resulted in the general strike and the Haymarket Riot of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday.1 May is celebrated as May Day in most countries around the world. In the United Kingdom and Ireland the bank holiday isn't fixed on May 1st, but instead is observed on the first Monday of May. In the 20th century, the holiday received the official endorsement of the Soviet Union, and it is also celebrated as the Day of the International Solidarity of Workers, especially in some Communist states. Celebrations in communist countries during the Cold War era often consisted of large military parades with the latest weaponry being exhibited as well as shows of common people in support of the government. Curiously (given the origin of the 1 May date), the United States celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of September (1 May is Loyalty Day, a legal but not widely recognized holiday in the United States). There is some suggestion that the reason for this was to avoid the commemoration of riots that had occurred in 1886."

The first participants were heckled, but within 12 years, they'd won a national holiday. By Mark Trumbull, Staff writer September 7, 2015Aaron Josefczyk/Reuters View Caption About video ads View Caption Labor Day is an annual tip of the cap to workers, an unofficial marker that summer is winding down and schools are starting up, and an excuse for firing up grills across America. People generally know – perhaps just vaguely – that the holiday has something to do with labor unions. But how and when did we actually get this national holiday? It’s a tale that involves picnics (yes, even back in the early days of organized labor), state-by-state campaigning by labor groups, and the half-hearted support of a Democratic president. Recommended: Labor Day: 5 things you probably didn't know about the end-of-summer holiday The story goes back to the 1880s, when the nation’s agrarian economy was rapidly shifting toward cities, factories, and the supply of mass-produced goods to consumers. Labor Day: 5 things you probably didn't know about the end-of-summer holiday Photos of the Day Photos of the day 05/05Workers had begun to form labor unions in response to these changes, and festive public events like parades and picnics were part of their strategy to build wider support.

On Monday, the tournament ran through 80,000 pounds of ice cubes. Richard Perry/The New York Times With one final, fitting blast of 96-degree heat on Tuesday, the summer of 2010 went down in the National Weather Service ’s record books as the hottest ever in New York City. Hotter than the previous high of 77.3 degrees set in 1966, when more than 1,100 deaths were attributed to heat that repeatedly exceeded 100 degrees. Hotter than 2006, when a heat wave set off a blackout in northern Queens that left more than 100,000 residents without power for days. But in this record-breaking season — defined by the Weather Service as June through August — there was no cataclysm, no singular event that was likely to define a three-month period when the temperature averaged 77.8 degrees. Instead, the summer of 2010 might be more properly measured in more subtle ways. For Sal Medina, a newsstand operator from the Bronx, it could be measured by the number of frozen water bottles that he slipped into his pants this week to stay cool (three). For John Natuzzi, it could be all the ice cubes used during the first day of the United States Open tennis tournament on Monday (80,000 pounds)."

For these reasons, it is an incredibly popular time to visit the country. The opportunities in Iceland that come with the onset of summer are numerous. Visitors can indulge in a wide variety of tours, catering to all tastes, and need not fear problems associated with the winter months, such as particularly dangerous roads, brutal weather (although it still can be unpredictable) and missing tours due to unfavourable conditions.

Gleefully grateful thanks to Google Books for the many hours of blissful browsing for some of those harvests, as well as to Michael P. Garofalo of gardendigest.com for letting me borrow a few of his gems. Please enjoy this lovingly collected page of quotes on autumn, my favorite season! — tεᖇᖇ¡·g Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest, lays down its life in its season, as beautifully as it was taken up. It is the pastime of a full quarter of the year. Dead trees, sere leaves, dried grass and herbs—are not these a good part of our life? And what is that pride of our autumnal scenery but the hectic flush, the sallow and cadaverous countenance of vegetation? its painted throes, with the November air for canvas? ~Henry David Thoreau, letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1842 March 11th The bright summer had passed away, and gorgeous autumn was flinging its rainbow-tints of beauty on hill and dale. ~Cornelia L. Tuthill, \"\"Virginia Dare: Or, the Colony of Roanoke,\"\" 1840 The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.... September is dressing herself in showy dahlias and splendid marigolds and starry zinnias."

"text": "Airlines & Airports / Travel Tools / Budget Travel The Time to Book Summer 2013 Travel is Now Posted by admin on April 16, 2013 at 9:16 am Share on: Share on Facebook Tweet Share on Google+It’s no secret, airfare goes up in summer which can put a dent in your bank account when planning that special trip. But a little bit of preparation, timing and luck can help you score a cheap flight. Let’s start planning!Why Does Airfare Go Up in Summer? Thirty-five percent of airline costs in 2012 went to jet fuel, an all-time high, says John Heimlich, vice president and chief economist for Airlines for America, a trade organization for the U. S. airline industry. Already in 2013, the price of jet fuel is running 3 cents per gallon higher than in 2012, says Heimlich. Due to the rising temperatures associated with the summer season, butane and other cheap and popular gasoline additives evaporate at a faster rate, causing smog and challenging air quality regulations. Airlines simply spend more money on fuel and flights during the summer months and that affects our pocketbooks. According to Brian Ek of Priceline.com: The average domestic airfare for June 2013 is $375, or 1.4 percent higher than last year. Average domestic airfare for July 2013 is $388, or 0.1 percent higher than last year. Average domestic airfare for August is $377, or 1.5 percent lower than last year."

A semester (half the year) is about 75 class days. At 5 days per week that is about 15 weeks of school per semester. There is usually one long (1–2 wk) or two short (long weekend) breaks during the semester, plus a long break between semesters. You would take 4 - 6 courses per semester (30 credits). Sometimes there are shorter “intercession” terms (e.g. during the long winter and summer breaks between semesters). These might be 4 weeks long (e.g. during winter break), during which you’d take one or two courses. Some colleges offer one or two of these short terms over 8 summer weeks."

The average length of the southern hemisphere summer, calculated as the average time from the December solstice until the March equinox, is about 89 days.

( Disney XD/Valerie Macon)There were some tears, lots of roaring laughter, and several sentimental sighs as the finale of a popular show rolled on a big screen earlier this week. When the episode concluded, it felt like a little piece of childhood had ended for all of us, no matter what your current age. The funny, witty, endearing Disney series Phineas and Ferb is wrapping up its run on Friday night, with the aptly titled episode, “Last Day of Summer. ”For seven years, the title characters have used every day of their (until now) never-ending summer vacation to dream up and construct some truly amazing and absolutely fun inventions. But now, sadly, like all summer vacations, this one was destined at some point to end and that time is now. Phineas and Ferb’s 104 th day of summer closes out after 126 episodes, five one-hour specials, and a Disney Channel Original movie. For the uninitiated, Phineas & Ferb is an animated musical comedy about two step-brothers who invent elaborate devices to have outrageous adventures, much to the chagrin of their sister, Candace. The show also features Perry the Platypus (aka Agent P) whose mission is to foil any and all plots perpetrated by a rather unsuccessful ‘evil’ scientist named Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, who’s famous for his hilarious rants and ‘inator’ inventions (Shrink-inator, Changenator-inator, Remote Control-inator, etc. ) Filled with original musical numbers, pop cultural references, celebrity guest stars and many jokes aimed at adults, Phineas and Ferb offers something for every age group.

Y. on March 5, 2016. The city's biggest St. Pat's parade is set for Thursday, March 17, in Manhattan. ( Mary Altaffer | Associated Press)Comment By Len [email protected],NJ Advance Media for NJ.com If you're heading into New York City on Thursday to watch the 2016 St. Patrick's Day parade, you should probably bring along an umbrella or a rain poncho, just in case Mother Nature doesn't cooperate. Although it's likely to be dry and partly sunny when the parade kicks off at 11 a.m., the risk of rain showers -- or possible thunderstorms -- will rise as the day of green goes on, according to the National Weather Service. The temperature is expected to be about 54 degrees when the parade starts and should rise to 59 by 1 p.m. and into the low 60s in the late afternoon. According to the current weather service forecast, there's a 20 to 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Thursday, and \"\"some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. \"\"St. Pat's parade: Best viewing spots, more info Accu Weather is predicting slightly warmer temperatures for New York City on Thursday, ranging from 56 degrees at 11 a.m. to 66 degrees at 3 p.m. As for the chances of getting rained on, Accu Weather lists the probability at less than 10 percent before 2 p.m., then 43 percent to 51 percent between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. before dropping to 19 percent at 5 p.m. (The parade is scheduled to end at 4:30 p.m.)One positive note, aside from the partial sunshine in the morning: The predicted afternoon temperatures on Thursday will be 10 to 15 degrees above the city's normal high of 50 degrees for March 17. And, in case you're wondering, the warmest St. Pat's Day in New York City was in 1945, when the mercury rose to 75 degrees. No such Irish luck this year."

(PIDCI), confirmed in an exclusive phone interview on May 28 that Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Wanda Corazon Tulfo-Teo “has backed out” from the 119th Philippine Independence 27th Annual Parade here on June 4, 2017. Lim said, “I did not exactly know what happened, but there was an official invitation given to the secretary of the Department of Tourism which was officially received (by the DOT).”“But she is always welcome to attend on June 4,” Lim added. “ What I can assure you is that Cesar Montano and the three beauty queens–Miss World 2013 Megan Young, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, and Miss International 2016 Kylie Verzosa–are coming. ”Montano is the chief operating officer of the Tourism Promotions Board, an agency under the DOT. SUBORDINATE“If Montano who is only Teo’s subordinate is coming, how come the secretary, who is head of the DOT will not?” asked a parade organizer, who refused to be named because she was not authorized to talk about the parade’s details. Teo, who had earlier reportedly expressed “excitement” to attend the biggest parade of Filipino Americans in the United States held every first week of June, could not be reached for comment. Lim, who is on his second term as PIDCI president, said “I am not aware” if DOT has made any financial commitment to support the parade on Madison Street in Manhattan organized jointly by PIDCI and the Philippine Consulate General in New York headed by Consul General Ma. Theresa B. Dizon-De Vega. He admitted that “money has always been difficult no matter what we do but the Consulate has been very supportive and helpful and they have been with us."

The march up Fifth Avenue starts at 11 am on 44th Street and lasts about six hours, ending at 79th, with a stop at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral along the way. There are no floats or cars allowed in the parade, which features bands, bagpipes, and dancers, and typically between 150,000 to 250,000 participants.

Its prime location adjacent to Central Park and Fifth Avenue's high-end shopping -- not to mention horse carriages -- further its cause. Many hotels claim to be synonymous with one superlative or another. (\"\" Our name is synonymous with service .... \"\") With the Ritz, it's precisely the opposite: the superlative \"\"ritzy\"\" comes straight from the hotel's name. Even the Four Seasons can't say that. (\"\" This fruit is so four-seasonal .... \"\" Um, nope. ) Formerly the St. Moritz Hotel, this Ritz -- which features 259 rooms (including 47 suites) in a 33-story limestone building on Central Park South (the southern border of the park) -- was bought by Ritz-Carlton in 2000 and reopened in 2002, the same year their other NYC hotel, in Battery Park, opened.

John Taggart for The New York Times This year, J’ouvert was supposed to be different. Fed up with the annual spectacle of violence that has for years tarnished the celebration of West Indian heritage in New York, city officials had announced sweeping security measures leading up to the festivities: double the number of police officers, hundreds of high-powered floodlights, security cameras, a gun buyback program. The Police Department even posted fliers with a blunt warning to revelers: “Do not shoot anyone. Do not stab anyone. ”With all of the additional resources, Police Commissioner William J. Bratton said, hopes had been “very high” that bloodshed, like the shooting death last year of a lawyer in the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, could be avoided. “In spite of those high hopes,” Mr. Bratton said on Monday, “we had an unfortunate tragedy once again. ”Four people were shot, two of them fatally, at J’ouvert festivities, which started in Brooklyn well before dawn on Monday, according to police officials. The two killed were Tyreke Borel, a 17-year-old who was shot in the chest, and Tiarah Poyau, a 22-year-old who was shot in the face."

Bush and First Lady Laura Bush lead the inaugural parade from the Capitol, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House The inauguration of the President of the United States is a ceremony to mark the commencement of a new four-year term of the President of the United States. This ceremony takes place for each new presidential term, even if the president is continuing in office for a second term. Since 1937, it has taken place on January 20, which is 72 to 78 days after the November presidential election (on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November). The term of a president commences at noon (\"\"EST\"\" - Eastern Standard Time) on that day, when the Chief Justice of the United States administers the oath of office to the president. However, when January 20 falls on a Sunday, the chief justice administers the oath to the president on that day privately and then again in a public ceremony the next day, on Monday, January 21. The most recent presidential inauguration ceremony was the swearing in of Donald Trump to a four-year term of office on Friday, January 20, 2017. Recitation of the presidential oath of office is the only component in this ceremony mandated by the United States Constitution (in Article II, Section One, Clause 8 ). However, over the years, various traditions have arisen that have expanded the inauguration from a simple oath-taking ceremony to a day-long event, including parades and multiple social gatherings. The ceremony itself is carried live via the major U. S. commercial television and cable news networks; various ones also stream it live on their websites. Since the 1981 inauguration of Ronald Reagan, the ceremony has been held at the west front of the United States Capitol facing the National Mall with its iconic Washington Monument and distant Lincoln Memorial."

Back in those times, the person who came in first would be president and the person who came in second would be vice president. Burr and Jefferson tied in the Electoral College, so the choice was thrown to the House of Representatives, where Alexander Hamilton helped swing the vote in Jefferson's favor on the 36th ballot. Inauguration [ edit]It was a mild day in Washington, D. C., the first time an inauguration had been held in the city, with a High Noon temperature estimated at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. [ 1] That morning an artillery company on Capitol Hill had shots fired to welcome the daybreak, and in a first for a newspaper, Jefferson gave a copy of his speech to the National Intelligencer for it to be published and available right after delivery. [ 2] The theme of his address was reconciliation after his bitterly partisan election. [ 3]Jefferson was lodging at Conrad and Mc Munn's boarding house [4] on the south side of the Capitol building, and at roughly 10:00 am the Alexandria company of riflemen marched to the intersection of New Jersey Avenue and C Street.

C. \"\"The air was still thick with rumors of 'rebel plots' to assassinate Mr. Lincoln, or to capture him and carry him off before he could take hold of the reins of government. \"\" The burden of Lincoln's safety fell on the aged shoulders of Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott, celebrated war hero and head of the U.

He wrote of this duty as \"\"the most critical and hazardous event with which I have ever been connected.\"\" Not only was Lincoln's life endangered by Southern secessionists, but Scott himself received many death threats if he \"\"dared to protect the ceremony by military force.\"\" Scott rounded up as many soldiers as possible from his scant forces, so when Lincoln rode to the Capitol, a reporter noted, \"\"His carriage was closely surrounded on all sides by marshals and cavalry, so as almost to hide it from view. \"\" By 1861 presidential inaugurations had well established customs. The outgoing president usually escorted the president-elect in a procession down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol, starting at Willard's Hotel on 14th Street. On Lincoln's inauguration day 16-year-old Julia Taft and her mother watched the procession from a hardware store because the Capitol might prove too dangerous. \"\" As we took our places a file of green-coated sharpshooters went through up to the roof.

Incumbent presidents who have won re-election for a second term are generally not referred to as president -elect, as they are already in office and are not waiting to become president.

Electoral procedure Election of the Federal President The Federal President is elected for 6 years by the citizens of the Republic – i.e., by all citizens who are entitled to vote – by secret ballot in a free and direct general election. If only one candidate runs for office, the election takes the form of a referendum. This regulation, which was introduced in 1982, is primarily intended to allow an incumbent, universally acclaimed Federal President to serve a second term without an election campaign. So far, every incumbent President who has stood for a second term has been re-elected – Adolf Schärf in 1963, Franz Jonas in 1971, Rudolf Kirchschläger in 1980 and Thomas Klestil in 1998. The Right to Vote Anyone entitled to vote in the National Assembly election has the right to vote in the presidential election. The right to vote can be exercised only by individuals who are registered to vote. Voting is no longer compulsory in any of the nine Austrian federal states.

There's a reason only two Presidents — Andrew Johnson, in 1868, and Bill Clinton, in 1998 — have been impeached. ( Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 before facing inevitable impeachment. )"

"text": "What's the cost of Donald Trump's inauguration — and who is paying the bill? By Anna Bahney | Jan. 20, 2017As the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States proceeds on Friday, it bears remembering that a presidential swearing-in doesn't just happen. It takes time and money. According to the New York Times, the total cost of Trump's inauguration could exceed $200 million when all is said and done. That ballpark figure is based on the price tag of past inaugurations, in addition to unknown factors, like how many people attend and what the weather is like. When it comes to who's footing the bill, there are actually two parts to the inauguration — and two sources of funding. The actual swearing-in, traditionally held on the west front of the U. S. Capitol Building, is paid for by appropriations from Congress. For Friday's ceremony, Congress approved a request for $1.25 million from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. This amount is similar to costs in prior years, according to the appropriations summary. The money provides funding for stuff like the inaugural stands and support facilities — and includes associated overtime and security costs within the Capitol Police budget."

Roosevelt as the 32nd President of the United States was held on Saturday, March 4, 1933. The inauguration marked the commencement of the first four-year term of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President and John Nance Garner as Vice President. It was the last inauguration to be held on the constitutionally prescribed date of March 4; the 20th Amendment, ratified in January 1933, moved Inauguration Day to January 20. As a result, Roosevelt's first term in office was shorter than a normal term (as was Garner's) by 43 days. The inauguration took place in the wake of Democrat Roosevelt's landslide victory over Republican incumbent Herbert Hoover in the 1932 presidential election. With the nation in the grip of the Great Depression, the new president's inaugural speech was awaited with great anticipation. Broadcast nationwide on several radio networks, the speech was heard by tens of millions of Americans, and set the stage for Roosevelt's urgent efforts to respond to the crisis (Great Depression). [ 1]The swearing-in ceremony took place on the East Portico of the United States Capitol, with Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes administering the oath of office. Roosevelt wore a morning coat and striped trousers for the inauguration, and took the oath with his hand on his family Bible, open to I Corinthians 13. Published in 1686 in Dutch, it remains the oldest Bible ever used in an inaugural ceremony, as well as the only one not in English, and was used by Roosevelt for his 1929 and 1931 inaugurations as Governor of New York as well as for his subsequent presidential inaugurations.

White House Collection/White House Historical Association Show Me More Nearly two decades after his election to the presidency, Thomas Jefferson elaborated on the significance of this triumph to his friend Spencer Roane. The “revolution of 1800,” he wrote, “was as real a revolution in the principles of our government as that of 76.” This transformation was “not effected indeed by the sword…but by the rational and peaceable instrument of reform, the suffrage of the people.” 1Thomas Jefferson to Spencer Roane, September 6, 1819,” Founders Online, National Archives, last modified October 5, 2016, http://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/98-01-02-0734. During his retirement Jefferson frequently reflected on his legacy and the partisanship that forged the two-party system of the early Republic. Perhaps it was these shared political experiences that permitted him and John Adams to revive their friendship after Jefferson left the presidency. In their later years these revolutionaries corresponded regularly, exchanging opinions and warm memories of their past deeds, making it difficult to imagine that they had once been rivals and bitter enemies. The political divide between Federalists and Republicans grew significantly once George Washington left the presidency in 1797, and it was no secret that Vice-President Jefferson would challenge Adams’s re-election bid in 1800. Unlike modern elections, presidential candidates did not personally campaign for votes; rather their supporters championed them and criticized their political opponents."

Trump signed his first executive orders at the Resolute Desk before new gold curtains with a blue trim, a new sunburst-patterned carpet and new brocade couches. The Churchill bust sat on a sidetable, while the figure of Martin Luther King Jr. that former President Barack Obama had installed when he came into the White House remains next to the fireplace. Each president tends to decorate their own Oval Office. But the King-for-Churchill swap angered some Anglophiles -- and conservative pundits -- who felt that Churchill's ouster was an affront to the British. \"\" There are only so many tables where you can put busts -- otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered,\"\" Obama said at a press conference in London last April. \"\" And I thought it was appropriate, and I suspect most people here in the United Kingdom might agree, that as the first African American President, it might be appropriate to have a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King in my office to remind me of all the hard work of a lot of people who would somehow allow me to have the privilege of holding this office. \"\" Obama moved the Churchill bust to outside the Treaty Room in his private residence, enraging some conservative radio hosts and writers."

USA TODAY NETWORK (Photo: Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAY)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREWASHINGTON — Donald Trump, assuming the mantle of 45th president of the United States on Friday, pledged in an often bleak, 16-minute address that he will lead an \"\"America first\"\" administration aiming to take power from do-nothing politicians and return it to \"\"forgotten\"\" Americans. Trump, a combative New York real estate mogul who harnessed a powerful populist message for a deeply divided country in his first foray into public service, took the oath of office from Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. \"\" The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer,\"\" he told the crowd as a light drizzle settled over Washington. \"\" And I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down. \"\" In a frequently dark address that Trump said he wrote himself, the new president offered his litany of the nation's ills, including mothers and children trapped in inner-city poverty, rusted factories \"\"scattered like tombstones across the landscape,\"\" sweeping crime, gangs and drugs, and a failing educational system. \"\" This American carnage stops right here and stops right now,\"\" he said. Transcript of President Trump's inauguration speech Wearing an overcoat, bright red tie and instantly recognizable by his long, swept-back blond hair, Trump raised his right hand to take the oath, placing his left hand on two Bibles — his own, and one used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861. Stepping to the podium, he delivered his address to the nation and to several hundred thousand people gathered in front of the Capitol. \"\" We citizens of America are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all our people,\"\" Trump said. \"\""

We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year. When ancient people made these observations, they imagined that the sky was actually moving while the Earth stood still. In 1543,with two people one was: Nicolaus Copernicus (Figure 24.21) proposed a radically different idea: the Earth and the other planets make regular revolutions around the Sun. He also suggested that the Earth rotates once a day on its axis. Copernicus' idea slowly gained acceptance and today we base our view of motions in the solar system on his work.

Why Is Totality During a Solar Eclipse Not Accomplished? How Would You Describe a Solar Eclipse? Full Answer There are four types of solar eclipses: annual, partial, hybrid and total. Hybrid and total eclipses involve a complete occlusion of the sun's disk, while annual and partial eclipses do not fully block the sun. Partial eclipses do not fully block the sun's disk, although how much of the sun remains in view depends on the viewing location and circumstances."

"text": "\"Did ancient peoples really predict solar eclipses? Ancient observations of solar eclipses have a long history among many different cultures and civilizations which stretches back to at least 2500 BC in the writings that have survived from ancient China and Babylon. Ancient Chinese astrologers, by 2300 BC, already had sophisticated observatory buildings and as early as 2650 BC, Li Shu was writing about astronomy. Observing total solar eclipses was a major element of forecasting the future health and successes of the Emperor, and astrologers were left with the onerous task of trying to anticipate when these events might occur. Failure to get the prediction right, in at least one recorded instance in 2300 BC resulted in the beheading of two astrologers. Since the pattern of total solar eclipses is a very erratic one in time at a specific geographic location, many astrologers no doubt lost their heads. By about 20 BC, surviving documents show that Chinese astrologers understood what caused eclipses, and by 8 BC some predictions of total solar eclipse were made using the 135-month reoccurrence period. By 206 AD they could predict solar eclipses by analyzing the motion of the moon itself. In the western world, meanwhile, Babylonian clay tablets that have survived since the time of this civilization in the Mesopotamian region, record the first total solar eclipse seen by observers in Ugarit on May 3, 1375 BC. Like the Chinese observers, Babylonian astrologers kept careful records about celestial goings-on including the motions of Mercury, Venus the Sun and the Moon which survive from tablets dating from 1700 to 1681 BC."

Millions of people around the globe will watch the rare event - from Sumatra to Hawaii - but, sadly, it won't be visible in the UK. Scientists say the another \"\"deep\"\" partial eclipse visible in the UK will not occur until August 12, 2026. The next total eclipse will not take place until September 2090. Here are some more notable dates: August 11 2018: A very small partial eclipse on the northern coast of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland. June 10 2021: A partial eclipse across Britain ranging from 50% in northern Scotland to 30% in south-east England. October 25, 2022: A partial eclipse across Britain with north-east Scotland August 12 2026: An eclipse which is total across Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean and Spain Scientists say the phenomenon will continue to happen for the next 60 million years - at which point the distance between the sun and the moon will be too great."

This has led to the event sometimes being referred to as a Horizontal Eclipse. It occurs during every lunar eclipse at all those places on the Earth where it is sunrise or sunset at the time of the eclipse. The reddened light that reaches the Moon comes from all the simultaneous sunrises and sunsets on the Earth and from the atmosphere of Earth bending light inwards towards the Moon. The phenomena is not a type of eclipse, nor a sub classification of any type of eclipse, it is simple a phenomena which occurs during a lunar eclipse just before sunset or just after sunrise. This phenomenon may seem like an impossibility - to be able to see both the Sun and Moon in the sky at the same time during a lunar eclipse. How is it possible? Depending on the observer’s location there is short window of one to a few minutes when it is possible to simultaneously view the sun rising in the east and the eclipsed full moon setting in the west. One or both bodies may actually be below the horizon but atmospheric refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher in the sky than they are in reality. A selenehelion phenomenon is best observed from high ground with clear unobstructed vision towards both ends of the horizon."

Thanks to modern technology, astronomers have been able to get a closer look at the Sun and learn more about how it moves. However, that has not always been the case. While today we know that a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, ancient cultures had to make up their own explanations to explain why the Sun disappeared from the sky. Upsetting the Sun One of the most common myths used to explain a solar eclipse involved up upsetting or getting into a fight with the Sun. Many cultures believed that the Sun was a god or a goddess. Any changes that occurred with the Sun were thought to be a sign of the Sun's displeasure with the people or a fight with another god. For example, in Inuit culture, the people thought of the Sun as the goddess Malina."

Whenever a celestial body gets covered partially or completely with another celestial body, that particular event is known as eclipse or grahan. If we talk in terms of Astronomy, a grahan or eclipse happen when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned and either Earth or Moon comes between the other two planets.

"text": "\"Home | Blog Index | Blog Archives | Christianity & Faith Essays | Storm Chasing Essays Sunday, August 21, 2016Get ready, St. Louis: the total solar eclipse of 2017 will be huge By DAN ROBINSON Storm Chaser/Photographer One year in advance may seem way too soon to start making plans for anything, but the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in the USA may be worthy of an exception. On Monday, August 21, 2017, the eclipse's 100-mile wide path of totality will stretch from Oregon to South Carolina, providing for the first time in a generation, a relatively easy opportunity for the entire population of the continental United States to observe such an event. No one knows exactly how significant the pilgrimage to the path of totality will be, but it has the potential to be on the order of something this country has never seen before. The phrase \"\"biggest movement of people for tourism in US history\"\" has been tossed around. It's not very far-fetched to think so. The town of Hopkinsville, Kentucky already has 400 hotel rooms booked for eclipse observers. It's even been suggested to make the day a one-time government holiday . MAP: Google map of 2017 eclipse totality path For the St. Louis metro and adjacent areas in Missouri and Illinois, consider the implications. We could see large percentages of the population of Chicagoland, Quad Cities, Madison, Springfield, Memphis, Little Rock, New Orleans, Indianapolis and others - possibly millions of people - all converging on that 100-mile wide strip of land in southern Illinois and mid-Missouri. After all, if there were a total eclipse within a few hours' drive north or south, wouldn't you go?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Solstice Parade, 1992Solstice Cyclists, 2005Solstice Parade, 2007Solstice Parade, 2012The Fremont Solstice Parade is an annual event produced in June by the Fremont Arts Council (FAC), a non-profit organization based in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, USA, that supports the arts and artists in and around the city. It is a Mardi Gras styled, entirely human powered event that is distinguished from mainstream public parades by its unusual rules. These four rules are 'No written words, signage or recognizable logos; No motorized vehicles (except wheelchairs); no live animals (except guide animals); and no functional weapons. The event appears as a slowly paced music, dance and character procession where direct crowd interaction is encouraged and ensembles of actors in costume entertain with political and social commentary. The Solstice Parade was founded in 1989 by Barbara Luecke and Peter Toms, and quickly grew to thousands of participants and tens of thousands of spectators. The parade kicks off the Fremont Fair, a benefit for Solid Ground (originally known as the Fremont Public Association). On January 29, 2010, Solid Ground announced that it is turning over ownership of the fair to the Fremont Chamber of Commerce. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Details2 See also3 Notes and references4 External links Details [ edit]The parade is famous for its style and flair, political humor, energetic ensembles, and creative floats. It is also widely known for the body-painted Solstice Cyclists, who strip down before the parade and paint their bodies, unofficially starting the event each year. In 2015, the Solstice Cyclists were estimated at over 1500 individuals by Peter Toms, parade co-founder, following the event."

Best time for outdoor recreation: Seattle has consistently dry, sunny, and warm weather from mid-July through September – perfect for local hiking, biking, and boating. Puget Sound waters are not ideal for swimming, as they rarely get above 13°C. October through June is generally cold and damp, and many Mount Rainier hiking trails are closed for the winter. Skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing season in nearby mountain areas usually lasts from late November until April or May. Best time for food and wine: Seattle restaurants and the winery tasting rooms in nearby Woodinville are great to visit at any time of year. The region’s famous Copper River salmon arrives in Seattle’s restaurants and markets in May and is generally available through mid-June. Many of Seattle’s best restaurants create and sell special three-course dinners at a discount during Seattle Restaurant Week, held twice-yearly in April and October. The Bite of Seattle, Seattle’s biggest food festival, takes place under the Space Needle in mid-July. Taste Washington, a regional wine and food event, is held in late March or early April. Best time to visit Pike Place Market: With dozens of covered stalls, restaurants, bars, and galleries, any time of year can be a good time to visit Pike Place Market."

"text": "What Is Inti Raymi? Date: April 10,2012 By: Karen Categories: News In Bolivia, Inti Raymi is a combination of shamanic ceremony and all night party, in Ecuador it resembles a village fete and in Peru, Inti Raymi has become a spectacle of costume and dance. Despite its various manifestations, at the heart of Inti Raymi is a celebration of the relationship between the sun and earth and a centuries old ritual to mark the change in seasons. Inti Raymi occurs on June 21-24 – the winter solstice, and the time when the sun is furthest from the earth. Fearing the lack of sun and ensuing famine, the ancient Incas gathered in Cuzco to honour the Sun God and plead for his return. Celebrants fasted for days before the event, refrained from physical pleasures and presented gifts to the Inca, who in return put on a lavish banquet of meat, corn bread, chicha and coca tea. As the Inca Empire spread, so did Inti Raymi, merging with local beliefs of the Andean people. In modern times, Inti Raymi still has special significance for Andean people from Ecuador to Argentina. Inti Raymi in Bolivia Bolivia’s controversial president, Evo Morales, ignited a national debate in 2009 when he declared June 21st, Aymara New Year and winter solstice, a national holiday. Why the controversy?"

Today, New Year’s parades take place around the globe. Chinese New Year is the main holiday of the year for more than one quarter of the world’s population. Although the People’s Republic of China uses the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, a special Chinese calendar is used for determining festivals. Various Chinese communities around the world also use this calendar. The beginnings of the Chinese calendar can be traced back to the 14th century B. C. E. Legend has it that the Emperor Huangdi invented the calendar in 2637 B. C. E. The Chinese calendar is based on exact astronomical observations of the longitude of the sun and the phases of the moon. This means that principles of modern science have had an impact on the Chinese calendar. What Does the Chinese Year Look Like? What Years Are Leap Years? How Does One Count Years?"

The sunset has been making its way north, as illustrated in this 2016 photo composite by Abhijit Juvekar. The June solstice – your signal to celebrate summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere – happens on June 21, 2018 at 10:07 UTC. That’s 5:97 a.m. CDT in North America on June 21. Translate to your time zone. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, this solstice marks the longest day of the year. Early dawns. Long days.

The exact dates vary between different cultures. The undivided Christian Church designated June 24 as the feast day of the early Christian martyr St John the Baptist, and the observance of St John's Day begins the evening before, known as St John's Eve. These are commemorated by many Christian denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church, Lutheran Churches, and Anglican Communion. [ 1] [7] In Sweden the Midsummer is such an important festivity that there have been serious discussions to make the Midsummer's Eve into the National Day of Sweden, instead of June 6. It may also be referred to as St. Hans Day.

"text": "Carnival in Spain Share 118 Tweet Of all the crazy Spanish fiestas that take place throughout the year there is nothing wilder than the Carnival celebrations in late February. The week leading up to Lent is a time for wild partying in some parts of Spain when the country plays host to Europe’s biggest and best Carnival festivals. There are a few speculations on the origins of Carnival in Spain. Most popularly it is believed the term Carnival derives from the words “farewell to the flesh,” a reference to the excesses that led up to the sombre Lent. Some suspect Carnival is derived from the Roman solstice festival, the Saturnalia, where participants indulged in much drinking and dancing. Saturnalia is believed to have had the first parade floats, called the ‘carrus navalis’. With these pagan roots it’s easy to see why the dictator General Franco banned them for forty years!Save Save Carnival in Spain is celebrated nationwide though the most raucous festivities are in the Canary Islands, Cadiz and Sitges. While each town has its own unique flavour of celebration they all have a devotion to having a good time. In these main destinations during Carnival it seems that no one sleeps as the drinking and dancing go from dusk until dawn. You’ll see extravagant costumes and people in masks everywhere and, in any of Spain’s Carnivals, you’ll have a lot more fun participating in the masquerading than you will just watching."

Best time for outdoor recreation: Seattle has consistently dry, sunny, and warm weather from mid-July through September – perfect for local hiking, biking, and boating. Puget Sound waters are not ideal for swimming, as they rarely get above 13°C. October through June is generally cold and damp, and many Mount Rainier hiking trails are closed for the winter. Skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing season in nearby mountain areas usually lasts from late November until April or May. Best time for food and wine: Seattle restaurants and the winery tasting rooms in nearby Woodinville are great to visit at any time of year. The region’s famous Copper River salmon arrives in Seattle’s restaurants and markets in May and is generally available through mid-June. Many of Seattle’s best restaurants create and sell special three-course dinners at a discount during Seattle Restaurant Week, held twice-yearly in April and October. The Bite of Seattle, Seattle’s biggest food festival, takes place under the Space Needle in mid-July. Taste Washington, a regional wine and food event, is held in late March or early April. Best time to visit Pike Place Market: With dozens of covered stalls, restaurants, bars, and galleries, any time of year can be a good time to visit Pike Place Market."

"text": "\"Holidays and Traditions around the December solstice The December solstice is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. The day has astronomical, cultural and religious significance. Lapland in mid winter.©bigstockphoto.com/zlikovec In the Northern Hemisphere, the December Solstice is the Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year. Although winter is the season of dormancy, darkness and cold, the December Solstice marks the \"\"turning of the Sun\"\" and the days slowly get longer. Celebrations of the lighter days to come and nature’s continuing cycle have been common thorughout cultures and history with feasts, festivals and holidays around the December Solstice. Christmas Celebrations In modern times Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Day, which falls on December 25. However, it's believed that this date was chosen to offset pagan celebrations of Saturnalia and Natalis Invicti. Some believe that celebrating the birth of the “true light of the world” was set in synchronization with the December solstice because from that point onwards, the days began to have more daylight in the Northern Hemisphere. Christmas is also referred to as Yule, which is derived from the Norse word jól, referring to the pre-Christian winter solstice festival. Yule is also known as Alban Arthan and was one of the “Lesser Sabbats” of the Wiccan year in a time when ancient believers celebrated the rebirth of the Sun God and days with more light."

"text": "\"The summer solstice is upon us: June 20th and the 21st will be the longest days of 2017 for anyone living north of the equator. If pagan rituals are your thing, this is probably a big moment for you. If not, the solstice is still pretty neat. Technically speaking, the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer, or 23.5° north latitude. In 2017, this will occur at exactly 12:24 am (Eastern) on the 21st. ( But we can celebrate on either day. ) Below is a short scientific guide to the longest day of the year (though not, as we’ll see, the longest day in Earth’s history — that happened back in 1912).1) Why do we have a summer solstice, anyway? Okay, most people know this one. Earth orbits around the sun on a tilted axis (probably because our planet collided with some other massive object billions of years ago, back when it was still being formed). So between March and September, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere gets more exposure to direct sunlight over the course of a day."

"text": "\"The compact automatic rifle that Stalin’s engineers unveiled in 1947 didn’t look like much of a gun. The result of a secret design contest, its components were simple, inelegant, workmanlike. Its ammunition lacked the stopping power of other rifle cartridges. Its barrel was too short to achieve the range of standard infantry rifles. When the Pentagon finally got its handson a few of the weapons in the 1950s, officials scoffed. But from this unheralded beginning, the Soviet Union’s modest little gun—dubbed the Avtomat Kalashnikova-47—would become one of the most recognizable artifacts of the 20th century. The AK-47 and its variants can be seen as a lot of things—amoral massacre machines, pop-culture icons, the most plentiful and influential weaponry of the past half century. But the gun can also be viewed as one of the most disruptive technologies ever. Quickly transcending the purposes and borders of the highly centralized state that created it, the AK-47 gives individuals and small groups a lethality that previously belonged only to rigidly organized and well-financed militaries. What it may have lacked in precision and power it has made up for in ease of use, cost, reliability, and readily available parts and ammunition."

You'll find yourself paying at least 2000 PLZ for decent digs in prime proximity to everything, and then you can anticipate spending about 800 PLZ on food, 100 to 200 PLZ on utilities and another 150 PLZ on transport (counting on a mixture of public and private transport). If you want a car and have a fetish for eating out, you would probably need to earn a salary of 6000 to 7000 PLZ per month in Warsaw.

Information sourced from a press release, file photos: Wyoming County is commonly known as a leader in the agricultural industry, but it is not well known that manufacturing is one of the county’s top business sectors. The county is home to approximately 50 unique manufacturers making products that range from automatic girth welders used on oil storage tanks around the world, products used in the automotive industry, to baked goods stocked on Jet Blue airplanes. On Oct. 5 Wyoming County will celebrate Manufacturing Day – a nationwide grassroots movement dedicated to overcoming the shared challenges facing manufacturers today. Officials say it’s a way to recognize and highlight the contributions manufacturing makes to the economy of the county. Manufacturing has experienced unprecedented growth in Wyoming County in metals-based manufacturing jobs since 2010, Wyoming County Chamber & Tourism President Scott Gardner says. This increase is due to the workforce, low energy and operational costs, and easy access to 50 percent of North America’s population. According to Data USA, manufacturing jobs represent 13.5 percent of the workforce in Wyoming County. Our manufacturers employ more than 2,500 workers, 40 percent above the national average, and those workers on average earn $56,516 per year. However, one of the most pressing issues facing manufacturers today is finding skilled labor."

From 1527-1768, Jews were officially banned from the city; consequently, Jewish settlers lived in jurydykas (privately owned settlements) on the outskirts of the city. Some Jews were allowed to enter the city for short periods of time. After 1572, Jews were allowed to enter Warsaw during conventions of the National Sejm (parliament).

General Pulaski Memorial Day is a United States holiday in honor of General Kazimierz Pułaski (spelled Casimir Pulaski in English), a Polish hero of the American Revolution. Casimir Pulaski Day is a holiday observed in Illinois on the first Monday of every March to commemorate Casimir Pulaski, a Revolutionary War cavalry officer born March 4, 1747 in Poland as Kazimierz Pułaski. He is known for his contributions to the U. S. military in the American Revolution by training its soldiers and cavalry. The day is celebrated mainly in areas that have large Polish populations. Chicago has the largest Polish population of any city in the world, save for Warsaw. This is a separate holiday from the federal holiday, General Pulaski Memorial Day, which commemorates Pulaski's death at the Siege of Savannah on October 11, 1779. Illinois enacted a law on June 20, 1977 to celebrate the birthday of Casimir Pulaski and held the first official Pulaski Day celebrations in 1978."

"text": "The Warsaw Pact: twenty years on Alexander Cherkasov 31 March 2011For over 30 years the Warsaw Pact was a threatening presence on the European political scene, but on 31 March 1991 it was disbanded with little pomp or circumstance. Alexander Cherkasov looks back over significant events in its history. On 14 May 1955, the treaty that came to be known as the Warsaw Pact was signed in Warsaw. There were 7 signatories to the document’s eleven articles and preamble: Albania, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, USSR and Czechoslovakia. The German Democratic Republic (GDR) joined in 1956; Albania ceased cooperation in 1962, eventually abandoning the Pact in 1968 in light of the invasion of Czechoslovakia. The Warsaw Treaty Organisation was, put simply, the Soviet Union’s “external empire” throughout the second half of the twentieth century. At the height of its powers, it aimed to occupy the whole continent. Crucially, the only campaign ever undertaken by the armies of “fraternal countries” was not mounted to the west, against an external enemy: it was instead the punitive expedition to crush the “Prague Spring” in 1968.135 years earlier, the Russian Empire built the Warsaw Fortress in response to the 1830 (November) Polish uprising. It was unique in that it was not built to protect the city from an external enemy, but against the city itself. A chance coincidence, of course, but particularly symbolic."

By Anne Applebaum Karl Marx Brush up on your Marx, fish out your tattered Communist Manifesto, and practice singing the \"\" Internationale ,\"\" preferably in multiple languages: May Day is just around the corner! For those who've forgotten this milestone, May 1 is the international proletarian holiday, the day when tanks used to parade down the streets of Moscow, les syndicalistes rioted in Paris, and students threw bottles at police in Warsaw. Though the United States celebrates Labor Day instead—a boring, noncommunist alternative, albeit a useful reminder that it's time to pack the beach towels away—you can still join in the May Day fun. Paradoxically, there has never been a better time to read up on the history of the communist movement: Now that most Communist regimes have collapsed or surrendered, the archives are open, and new books are appearing all the time. Start out, of course, by ignoring the latter-day Marxists and reading Marx: The first 10 volumes of the complete works of Marx and Engels are now available and searchable online. If you really do just want the Communist Manifesto (recommended for those with limited tolerance for turgid prose), it's available here in the original Progress Publishers translation. Advertisement Those who want to know how the communist theory worked in practice should then turn to Robert Service's Comrades, one of the best of many recent accounts of how the movement grew, spread, and briefly captivated half the world before collapsing in 1989. If you want more blood and gore, read The Black Book of Communism, compiled by French ex-Trotskyites."

Shaw’s is the largest supermarket chain whose stores are located entirely in New England. Until the sale of its Connecticut locations in February 2010, Shaw’s was the only supermarket chain that had stores in all six New England states; it remains the only supermarket chain to operate in five of the six. History In 1862, George C. Shaw opened a small teashop in Portland, Maine. Meanwhile, Maynard A. Davis established a group of small downtown grocery stores in Brockton and New Bedford, Massachusetts, called Brockton Public Market, or BPM. In 1919, Davis purchased the George C. Shaw Company and made it a subsidiary of BPM. As George C. Shaw and BPM continued to grow, it was decided that a central grocery warehouse would be needed for the future growth of the two companies. In 1961, a warehouse in Brockton was purchased. By 1965, George C. Shaw had begun to expand into northern Massachusetts and into New Hampshire."

"text": "\"Elderly Hoarding Posted On 02 Jun 2016 By : Dana Larsen Tweet Pin It Transitioning a parent to senior living is already difficult; but dealing with a parent who is a hoarder can really test a family’s sanity. Unfortunately, Diogenes Syndrome, also known as senile squalor syndrome, is more common than you might think. From simple justifications to sentimental reasons, things can really add up when someone has a hoarding disorder. Aging can also bring on elderly hoarding and Diogenes Syndrome. Learn more from these tips on how to deal with elderly hoarding. Elderly Hoarding: When Your Parent is a Hoarder Many families are dealing with loved ones and parents who were hoarders. Sometimes, forms of frontal lobe impairment and dementia can bring on elderly hoarding, which is characterized by: Apathy Compulsive hoarding Domestic squalor Lack of shame Self-neglect Social withdrawal According to the American Geriatrics Society, living alone for long periods of time with a lack of cognitive stimulation, a genetic predisposition to the condition and a traumatic event can all be a catalyst for the syndrome. This is why senior living can sometimes trump living alone to keep seniors mentally engaged. Jane Brogan has a mother who is a hoarder, as she describes in a recent article she wrote:“My mother wasn’t always a hoarder. In pictures from before I was born, I can see an almost sterile home."

Traffic along Rt.20 is quite slow with lots of pedestrians. There are small numbers of visitors, walking the street, hoping to get a peek at the goodies that dealers have brought with them. Less than perfect weather 'might' foreshadow smaller crowds on opening day, but hardly a year goes by when the most sales occur on the first day of the first show of the year. Over the years, its historically the first (and last) days of the Show where the best deals can be found. So forget about the weather and arrive early to check out all the action!Upcoming Show Comment - April 2017Well, it wasn't a terrible winter here in Brimfield, but it was LONG.

"text": "\"Average Claim: $482E-mail Post Tweet Comments (34)Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, which disrupts this gland's functioning and releases toxins. Acute pancreatitis is unpredictable -- ranging from one day of illness to kidney failure and even death. But chronic pancreatitis can usually be controlled fairly easily with a special low-fat diet. Veterinary Partner.com [ 1] has an overview of pancreatitis in dogs. Typical costs: Treatment cost can vary between $200 and $1,000 -plus per episode, depending on the size of the dog, the severity of the condition and how many days of treatment are required. The cost includes diagnosis, which could involve laboratory tests, X-rays and ultrasound, as well as round-the clock monitoring and multiple blood tests per day during hospitalization -- which can last from one to five days or more. The average pancreatitis treatment claim amount submitted by policyholders of Veterinary Pet Insurance [ 2] is $482. Related articles: Dog Cancer Treatment, Dog Vaccination, Owning a Dog What should be included: Treatment involves withholding food and water for two to three days and preventing dehydration with intravenous fluids and potassium supplementation. Additional costs: Pain management, with injections or patches or drips, and nausea control, usually are necessary. Antibiotics might also be used to control bacteria released from diseased tissue."

"text": "What to Do with Poo – The Art and Science of Dog Poop Disposal Oh, joy! Time to discuss everyone’s least favorite topic in excruciating detail… let’s talk POO, people! If you’re a longtime dog person, you might find it hard to imagine that anyone would need a tutorial about what to do with poop, but you’d be surprised. These days, there’s a dazzling array of supplies aimed at helping people conveniently dispose of dog feces, so it can be difficult to figure out what to buy and how to use it – and where the heck to put that poop once you’ve picked it up!Poo Pickup and Removal in the Yard Things can get pretty icky in your yard if you have a dog and don’t have a good pickup plan. I’m a fan of either picking the poop up immediately each time the dog goes or getting on a schedule of some kind. You might want to get in the habit of picking up every evening before you go to bed, or first thing in the morning. If your yard is big enough (or your dog is small enough! ), you might be able to scoop less frequently and have one or two designated cleanup days each week. If you like to delegate responsibilities (especially the icky ones!) around the house, you can make this a chore for a kid (or the roommate who loses the coin toss)."

Litter consists of waste products that have been disposed improperly, without consent, at an inappropriate location. Litter can also be used as a verb. To litter means to drop and leave objects, often man-made, such as aluminum cans, cardboard boxes or plastic bottles on the ground and leave them there indefinitely or for others to dispose of as opposed to disposing of them properly. Large and hazardous items of rubbish such as tires, electrical appliances, electronics, batteries and large industrial containers are sometimes dumped in isolated locations, such as national forests and other public land. It is a human impact on the environment and remains a serious environmental issue in many countries.

All that is reliably known of the saint commemorated on February 14 is his name and that he was martyred and buried at a cemetery on the Via Flaminia close to the Ponte Milvio to the north of Rome on that day. It is uncertain whether Saint Valentine was one individual or a pseudonym for several. Several different martyrologies have been added to later hagiographies that are unreliable. Because so little is reliably known of him, in 1969 the Catholic Church removed his name from the General Roman Calendar, leaving his liturgical celebration to local calendars. [ 3] The Roman Catholic Church continues to recognize him as a saint, listing him as such in the February 14 entry in the Roman Martyrology, [4] and authorizing liturgical veneration of him on February 14 in any place where that day is not devoted to some other obligatory celebration in accordance with the rule that on such a day the Mass may be that of any saint listed in the Martyrology for that day.

Well, guys, it's March 14th and is also \"\"affectionately\"\" known as the \"\"Valentine's Day for guys. \"\" Yes, it's an actual holiday, and it's upon us. It's no surprise that Steak and BJ Day is celebrated exactly one month after Valentine's Day (A holiday for women, apparently. Who knew?) in order to give men a turn. Yes, we are definitely rolling our eyes, too.tumblr While Valentine’s Day is a day where — in America, at least — men are expected to buy their significant others flowers, or chocolates and devote the evening to proving their love in a (mostly) monetary sense, it seems like Steak and Blowjob Day is quite the opposite of that. It’s a day devoted to servicing your man’s meat and … serving him meat as well!A lot of women are confused as to why this “holiday” is considered a man’s “answer to Valentine’s,” which is a holiday where you’re supposed to express love for your partner or spouse, and not just expect sexual favors. Valentine's also clearly isn’t just for ladies, but good luck convincing them of that when steak and BJs are on the line."

Japan: In this part of the World, it’s all about spoiling your man on Valentine’s day and not the other way around like in most Western cultures. Japanese women are usually said to be reserved and shy when it comes to expressing their affections with lovey-dovey gestures. However, on this day, the women are in the forefront presenting the men (and sometimes even female friends) in their lives gifts (mostly chocolates), to express either their love, courtesy or social obligation. This custom of gifting chocolate in Japan on February 14th, was first introduced in 1936 by a Kobe-based confectioner ‘Morozoff Ltd.’, when it ran the first ever Valentine’s Day ad in Japan through a local English newspaper, with the intent of targeting foreigners that were used to celebrating the holiday of love. By the 1950’s other Japanese chocolate manufacturers joined in and started promotions to boost their chocolate sales on that day and a department store called ‘Isetan’, even started a “Valentine’s Sale” in 1958. In the 70’s a new promotion concept caught on… gifting different types of Valentine’s chocolates to express the nature of one’s relationship intent without the need for words. The different types of chocolates signified different relationships- A woman may gift ‘giri-choko’ (義理チョコ) that literally translates to ‘obligation chocolate’, to men without any romantic interest (like bosses, colleagues, class-mates, brothers, fathers and close male friends). ‘ Chō-giri choko’ is a step down from that and is referred to as “ultra-obligatory” chocolate. It is a cheaper chocolate reserved for people the woman isn’t even particularly fond of, but feels obligated to gift something to so they don’t feel left out, say an unpopular co-worker, for example."

"text": "TRADITIONS: Valentine’s Day traditions from Latin America Fri, Feb 10, 2012By Fernando Acevestú Decides correspondent Before Valentine’s Day became the mass-marketed consumer frenzy holiday that it is today, it had its roots in ancient Roman history and traditions. There are varying accounts of how it all began, but the most-popular story claims that the holiday can be traced back to the Roman Emperor Claudius II. The Roman ruler had banned marriage, claiming that single men made better soldiers. Ever the consummate romantic, a priest named Valentine continued to marry couples against the emperor’s will until he was eventually imprisoned for his disobedience. While in jail, Valentine fell in love with a young girl who regularly came to visit him. Right before he died, the priest wrote her a love letter, which is now referred to as the first ever Valentine. Others believe that the tradition hails back to the Pagan Lupercalia festival, traditionally celebrated at the beginning of spring for the purposes of purification and encouraging fertility. Around 498 A. D., Pope Gelasius declared February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day in an apparent attempt to “Christianize” the indulgent ritual celebration. Nowadays, the holiday means big business in the United States and around the world, with stores offering every kind of gift imaginable for people to buy their loved ones, and restaurants packed with couples sharing in a romantic meal. In Latin America, however, the holiday serves as more of an excuse to share love and friendship than candy and cards."

"text": "\"Holidays & Celebrations Holidays Valentines Day Q: Did Hallmark Create Modern Valentine's Day? A: Quick Answer There is little evidence to support the idea that the Hallmark greeting card company is solely responsible for creating the modern Valentine's Day celebration, though the company did begin mass-producing cards for this holiday in 1913. Factory-produced cards were a response to the growing public interest in spending money on this holiday, as the trend of handmade greetings gave way to manufactured cards.

"text": "Holiday February 13th, 2015Things you didn't know about Valentine's Day By Lauren Gordon | The Daily Meal Facebook Twitter Flipboard Print Email There are a few definite, known things about Valentine’s Day. We know that it is a day of love, that we are to shower our loved ones in displays of affections, and we are to eat an unhealthy amount of chocolate. Some revel in the glory of love while others curse the holiday to the depths of its existence, devaluing as a “Hallmark Holiday” constructed to simple push the sales of candy and cards. No matter how you feel about this holiday and it’s implications, the truth is that there is a ton of lore and history behind it. For instance, did you know that there are actually three saints that Valentine’s Day origins stem from? The Catholic church recognizes that there were three saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. In one legend, when Emperor Claudius II mandated that all young soldiers were to refrain from marriage in order to be better soldiers, Bishop Valentine defied him and married couple in secret. He was put to death when the Emperor discovered his secret ceremonies. There is also the rumor that Valentine was imprisoned and fell in love with a jailer’s daughter, who visited him during his sentence. Before his death, he sent her a letter that ended in “from your Valentine.”"

Photo: Reuters/Charles Platiau It’s a holiday that has become known for roses and chocolates, pink and red cards covered with hearts and attempts to secure coveted last-minute restaurant reservations. But St. Valentine’s Day wasn’t always a consumer-driven holiday: Its roots stretch back almost 2,000 years to when the day’s eponym was still alive. How Did the Holiday Begin? The holiday that at present is all about celebrating love has dark and deadly origins with pagan and Christian traditions intermingling and its exact origins unknown. Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia Feb. 13-15 by sacrificing animals and whipping women with animal hides, believing it would help with fertility, NPR reported. The feast also involved the pairing off of men and women. Roman Emperor Claudius II, aka Claudius the Cruel, had two men named Valentine executed around Feb. 14. One of the Valentines was a priest in Rome who was killed circa 278."

"text": "Full Answer The traditions of Valentine's Day date back to ancient Roman times. The Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia from February 13 to 15 yearly, including a matchmaking lottery in the festivities. In the fifth century, the Pope combined Saint Valentine's Day with the feast of Lupercalia and made it a day of fertility and love. The tradition of written Valentine's Day cards began after 1400. The oldest written Valentine's Day greeting still in existence today dates back to 1415. It was written by the Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. King Henry V also allegedly sent a Valentine written by a hired writer to Catherine of Valois. Valentine's Day gained worldwide popularity in the 17th century. By this time it was a widespread practice for friends and lovers to send each other handwritten Valentine's Day cards and tokens of their affection. By 1900, printed cards began to gain popularity following major advances in large-scale printing technology."

Introduction1998 Census data, recently released by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA), suggests that state drug assistance programs may be bearing some medical costs for patients actually eligible for free or low-fee VA medical care. State programs have long been rightfully viewed as last resorts. Those eligible for medical care and drugs from other programs should use that coverage before turning to the state. Thus, medical care coverage available from the VA should—unless there are exceptional circumstances—be turned to before limited state monies are spent. But virtually all members of the public, many state officials and even most veterans themselves wrongly assume that one must be a combat or wartime veteran or have been injured or become sick on active duty to get VA medical care. As a result, some states don’t bother to screen at all for VA medical care eligibility. Or, just as worse, they ask veterans themselves whether they’re eligible for VA medical care. And—not surprisingly, since even veterans themselves don’t know the correct eligibility rules—few applicants indicate that they’re VA-eligible!To be eligible for VA medical care, a veteran must have served at least 180 days active duty and have an honorable or general discharge."

"text": "Waiting for Veteran Disability Benefits – How long does it take? By Lisa Nuss / February 18, 2018 / Veterans Disability / 282 Comments Learn what you can do to get a faster decision on your Veteran Disability Benefits claim, how to avoid delays in getting medical records, and how the Fully Developed Claim program can speed the process. Listen to this It has become a well-known fact that the DVA can take a long time to process claims for Veteran Disability Benefits. The good news is that the DVA has reduced the average amount of time it takes to get a decision on a claim. In 2016, a veteran waited an average of 123 days to hear the results of a claim, way down from the eight-month wait in 2012 and the nearly one year average wait in 2013. The bad news is, there still can be lengthy delays and the time varies considerably by the location where you file. Advertisement Increased media and political attention Increased media and political scrutiny have prompted calls for improvement. In 2012, a report from the Center for Investigative Reporting publicized the shameful delays that the DVA was subjecting disabled veterans to. Even then, the problem got worse before it slowly got better. For its part, the DVA pointed to the ballooning number of claims from Afghanistan and Iraq vets, on top of vets from the Vietnam War era who are filling new claims."

The day celebrating America’s veterans will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 11, prompting a number of closures both of government offices and private businesses. But many others remain open, including some schools, making what can be a confusing day for people wondering if they can make a quick trip to the bank or the store.

Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober friendly counsel and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world.” – President Woodrow Wilson, quoted in New York’s The Evening World newspaper on 11 November 1918. The armistice was signed on 11 November 1918, however it did not officially end that war. The official end came on 28 June 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. On the other hand, since the U. S. never signed the Treaty of Versailles like the other Allies, one could say that, for the U. S. at least, the 11 November armistice really did end the war. In the immediate years after Armistice Day, the focus of the celebrations was on the veterans of World War I. However, the day was always meant to honor all veterans of foreign wars who risked their lives on the battle field to secure the freedoms of all Americans. In 1926 Congress finally decided to declare that World War I was over."

( Title 38 also governs Veterans' entitlement to benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). ) Both title 5 and title 38 use many of the same terms, but in different ways.

However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars. ”Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on November 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: \"\"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…\"\"The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words: Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as \"\"Armistice Day.\"\" Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word \"\"Armistice\"\" and inserting in its place the word \"\"Veterans.\"\" With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars."

"text": "Support U. S. Air Force photo illustration/Airman 1st Class Corey Hook The Truth About 22 Veteran Suicides A Day By Stacy Bare on June 2, 2015 T&P on Facebook While the suicide rate among veterans from operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom is still too high, it’s not 22 a day. There is a statistic that has been widely quoted in the veteran community that highlights an estimated 22 veterans a day are committing suicide. It is a deeply troubling statistic and has galvanized the veteran movement, both from inside the military and veteran communities, and externally, to bring about a wide range of programming nationwide. The statistic, however, is widely misunderstood. This figure — 22 veterans a day commit suicide — while widely touted by politicians, media outlets, veterans service organizations, among others, comes from the VA’s 2012 Suicide Data Report, which analyzed the death certificates of 21 states from 1999 to 2011, and often is not provided within the right context. The report itself, as cited by the Washington Post earlier this year, warned, “It is recommended that the estimated number of veterans be interpreted with caution due to the use of data from a sample of states and existing evidence of uncertainty in veteran identifiers on U. S. death certificates.” As an example, the average age of veteran suicides within the data set was nearly 60 years old, not representative of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans generation. A more recent study, which surveyed 1.3 million veterans who were discharged between 2001 and 2007, found that “Between 2001 and 2009, there were 1650 deployed veterans and 7703 non-deployed veteran deaths. Of those, 351 were suicides among deployed veterans and 1517 were suicides among non-deployed veterans. That means over nine years, there was not quite one veteran suicide a day,” according to the Washington Post."

Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday — a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as \"\"Armistice Day. \"\" In 1954, after World War II and after American forces had fought aggression in Korea the Congress amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word \"\"Armistice\"\" and inserting in its place the word \"\"Veterans.\"\" With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U. S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving. Veterans Day between 1971 and 1977The Uniform Monday Holiday Act from 1968 moved the date of Veterans Day to fourth Monday in October as of 1971."

"text": "What Does it Mean to be a Veteran? Monday, November 7, 2011 1:03 pm Guest Posts Steven Vandervort 336 views The life altering decision to join the military comes with much that is never heard nor seen by the general public. Much of this commitment is both physically and mentally life altering. For many Veterans’, they carry their memories internally within their head and may on occasion share them with friends, family or in general conversation. Many do not! So, what does it mean to be a Veteran? Being a Veteran means lying in your bedroom all night in fear as an 18 year old without sleeping knowing that you’re shipping off to Parris Island, South Carolina to start your Marine Corps career in a few hours. Being a Veteran means having your heart beat well beyond its MHR (maximum heart rate) as that first drill instructor steps on the bus screaming at an octave you’ve never heard before and telling you that you have ten seconds to get off of the bus and line up on the little yellow footprints outside of the bus. Being a Veteran means jumping into bed at perfectly rigid attention each night on a bed with perfectly folded corners that you could bounce a quarter off of. While lying in the top bunk of that metal grey bunk bed on a 100% wool blanket that is itching the hell out of your back, you and 70 – 85 other guys sing in unison the Marine Corp Hymn followed by Amazing Grace each night as you go to bed."

Answer by Philipjrichardson Confidence votes 2.3KArmistice Day was the day the Armistice was put in effect in World War I. It was agreed that fighting would cease on the 11th minute of the 11 th hour of the 11th month in 1918 (11:11 AM on Nov 11). That time was set to allow time for both sides to send word to their battle commanders. For many years after, every succeeding 11 Nov was observed in honor of the Armistice and of those who fought in the War, at least among the many countries who were on the winning side. In many countries, the name of the observance was changed from Armiscite Day to Remembrance Day. In the United States, it became Veterans' Day after World War II produced a crop of verteans with little or no connection ti World War I. In general, an Armistce is an agreement between waring sides to stop the fighting, but is not an agreement to make peace, nor is it necessarily an indication of victory by one side or surrender of another. In the case of World War I, however, it was the first step in the process of German and Austrian surrender to their opponents.9 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

We celebrate Veterans day because we honor the valuable people who did their part in helping to make the USA a better and safer place for us to live. We celebrate veterans day because, the date November 11, originally celebrated the anniversary of the official end of World War I on that date in 1918 (commemoration of the armistice that ended World War I). In 1954 it was renamed from Armistice Day to Veteran's Day, honoring both fallen and living military servicemen and servicewomen. Please note. Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day.

At a mid-morning Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, Obama singled out the 107-year-old Overton - who was in attendance - as a remarkable example of national service and sacrifice. \"\" He was there at Pearl Harbor when the battleships were still smoldering. He was there at Okinawa. He was there at Iwo Jima, where he said, 'I only got out of there by the grace of God,'\"\" Obama told a crowd of 4,000 veterans and guests gathered in the Memorial Amphitheater. Obama recounted how the African-American Texas native, who volunteered for the Army in his 30s, returned home from war to a \"\"nation bitterly divided by race\"\" and one that did not always afford the support and respect that has now become a norm. \"\" He carried on and lived his life with honor and dignity. He built his wife a house with his own two hands,\"\" Obama said. Seventy years later, Overton is still living in the same house, although his wife passed two decades ago.

A true \"\"combat veteran\"\". There is a difference between a combat veteran and a veteran.5 following 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Generally speaking a veteran is anyone who has served in any branch of the Armed Forces for more than 180 days other than training...so even a reservist can be a veteran if he/she was activated for federal service for 180 day. To be considered a combat veteran it will depend on where and when you served: You have to receive a campaign medal. Some dates include: WW2 Dec 7, 1941- Dec 31 1946 Korean War June25, 1950 -Jan 31,1955 Vietnam War Feb 28,1961- May 7, 1975 Lebanon/Grenada Aug24,1982-1984 Panama Dec20,1989- Jan31, 1990 Gulf War: Aug 2, 1990 until cessation of hostilities. Gulf War era includes Desert Shield/Storm and Iraq/Afghanistan.

However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars. ”Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on November 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: \"\"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…\"\"The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m. The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words: Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as \"\"Armistice Day.\"\" Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word \"\"Armistice\"\" and inserting in its place the word \"\"Veterans.\"\" With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars."

Recognition of these interruptions in the record is extremely important in helping to understand the geologic history of the area. Distribution of rock units and their thicknesses at the interface of an unconformity, including the present surface, is sometimes more important than the attitude of the rocks in understanding what has happened in the past. [ Note: An excellent book on paleogeologic maps has recendy been published by Levorsen (1960). Krumbein (1942) has set forth 35 criteria for recognition of unconformities in the subsurface. Unconformities recognized generally agree with those of Billings (1946); a new term paraconformity is proposed by Dunbar and Rodgers (1957, p. 119) for beds that are parallel with an even contact not distinguishable from a simple bedding plane. ] Seven important breaks occur in the Kansas record: (1) the present surface; (2) pre-Tertiary post-Cretaceous; (3) pre-Cretaceous post-Jurassic; (4) pre-Triassic post-Permian; (5) pre-Pennsylvanian post-Mississippian; (6) pre-Mississippian (considering Chattanooga as Mississippian) post-Devonian; and (7) pre-Paleozoic post-Precambrian. Such designations as \"\"pre-Tertiary post-Cretaceous,\"\" as applied to the surfaces discussed in this section, are obviously imprecise. Geologic time is conceived to be continuous, and a land surface produced or modified by erosion cannot originate instantaneously. It follows that placement of the surface in geologic time is only approximate, that is, partly pre-Tertiary, or late Cretaceous, and partly post-Cretaceous, or early Tertiary."

"text": "\" (Redirected from Geological Column)navigation search The geological column is the theoretical classification system for the layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust (also known as the standard geologic column ). Fossiliferous layers can often be traced across entire continents and correlated with rocks in other countries. In such cases, these layers have been given names and assigned dates, and are frequently diagrammed as a cross-sectional column (the geologic column ). Important in its development were studies on the origins of the various kinds of rocks ( petrology ), coupled with studies of rock layering ( stratigraphy) and the fossils they contain ( paleontology ). The full sequence of layers was compiled following the study and correlation of rock layers on many continents, and was largely based on the interpretation that layers of sedimentary rock formed over millions and even billions of years at uniform geologic rates. Geologists have associated layers of rocks with sequence of events thought to have occurred over hundreds of millions of years. For example, it is believed that during a particular episode the land surface was raised in one part of the world to form high plateaus and mountain ranges. After the uplift of the land, the forces of erosion attacked the highlands and the eroded rock debris was transported and redeposited in the lowlands. During the same interval of time in another part of the world, the land surface subsided and was covered by the seas. With the sinking of the land surface, sediments were deposited on the ocean floor."

[ 3] He originated the theory of uniformitarianism —a fundamental principle of geology—that explains the features of the Earth's crust by means of natural processes over geologic time. Hutton's work established geology as a science, and as a result he is referred to as the \"\"Father of Modern Geology\"\". [ 4] [5]Through observation and carefully reasoned geological arguments, Hutton came to believe that the Earth was perpetually being formed; he recognised that the history of Earth could be determined by understanding how processes such as erosion and sedimentation work in the present day. His theories of geology and geologic time, [6] also called deep time, [7] came to be included in theories which were called plutonism and uniformitarianism. Some of his writings anticipated the Gaia hypothesis.

A new set of rocks enters between the 'Vishnu' and the Tapeats -- the Unkar group of late pre Cambrian sedimentary rocks. In this scene are three of its formations: the Bass limestone, the Hakatai shale, and the Shinumo quartzite. These rocks were deposited at about ~1.1 billion years ago, ~600 million years after the Vishnu, and ~550 million before the Tapeats. Here, their western boundary is a fault (purple line with direction arrows), and they tilt down to the east (right). The Great Unconformity (red line) is above the Unkar Group, which is lies above a 'pretty good' unconformity (purple line) at the top of the Vishnu. To the west (left), the Tapeats is above the Great Unconformity. But, starting at the center mid-distance, the Tapeats thins to the east (right) and vanishes against the Unkar Group. The Shinumo quartzite pokes through the Tapeats and forms cliffs at the same elevation as the lower part of the Bright Angel shale (background center). In early Cambrian times, this Shinumo quartzite stood as a hill above the Tapeats sandy beach and the Bright Angel muds, and was finally buried in the mud as the sea level rose."

"text": "Introduction. Erosion is an integral part of the sequence of processes by which surface rock bodies become recycled into sediment and eventually into sedimentary rock. It is fundamentally a process of removal, whereby the end-products of weathering are transported by fluid agents from their place of origin to their place of deposition. Erosion acts to reduce the topographic relief of land surfaces to a minimum, that is, to a uniform, planar surface. Topographic irregularities, such as hills and valleys, are therefore in disequilibrium with respect to the agents and forces of erosion. Since the erosional process acts to remove rather than preserve the rock record, a planar discontinuity transcending a body of rock, either parallel or oblique to bedding (while indicating neither displacement nor movement of the adjoining rock masses), is most likely a former erosional surface. That is, it is a surface that has been created by erosive agents, the rocks formerly above which have been broken down and transported elsewhere. These erosional surfaces, which are extremely common in the geologic record, are collectively referred to as unconformities. Bear in mind that the vast majority of the rock material of which the geologic record is comprised consists, in and of itself, as recycled rock material. It is therefore prudent to emphasize the fact that the geologic record, by its very nature, is quite incomplete."

If you're unfamiliar with geologic time terminology and abbreviations, take that detour now. With over 50 million modern human lifetimes elapsed since the planet formed around 4.5 Ga, geologic or deep time is, to say the least, difficult to grasp. But the effort pays, for with a feel for deep time comes a sense of its great power: Given enough time, almost anything energetically possible can happen—even at very large scales. And so it goes with the bending of seemingly rigid rocks, the cutting of majestic canyons, the raising and erasing of entire mountain ranges, the opening and closing of globe-girdling oceans, and the incessant splitting and regrouping of the dancing continents. Easy Does It Our usually reliable day-to-day sensibilities tell us that such things can't happen, but they can and do happen because solid rock reveals its malleability only over time scales very long compared to human events—typically in spans of tens of thousands if not millions of years. Given enough time, cold surface rock will yield to flowing water and buried rock will bend or even flow rather than break. The planet's had ample time for all of this, even if it's out of our ken."

Rather than speculate as to how Earth had come into being, Hutton analyzed the processes at work on the planet in his time and reasoned that they must be a key to understanding the means by which Earth was shaped. This was the principle of uniformitarianism, which is still a key concept in the study of Earth. Thanks to his introduction of this influential idea, Hutton today is regarded as the father of modern scientific geology. Uniformitarianism, in general, is the idea that the geologic processes at work today provide a key to understanding the geologic past. This means that the laws of nature have always been the same. The uniformitarianism promoted by Hutton and his fellow Scottish geologist Charles Lyell (1797-1875), however, has undergone some modification, namely, by the addition of the qualifying statement that the speed and intensity of those processes may not always be the same at any juncture in geologic history. For instance, land does not erode today at the same rate that it did before plants existed to hold rocks and soil in place. GOULD'S FOUR UNIFORMITIES. In the late twentieth century, the American paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002) identified four different meanings of uniformity in science, not all of which are equally valid."

"text": "\"Geology of Missouri Geologic Overview Missouri is situated on an ancient geologic structure called the North American Craton, which is the core basement rock forming the North American continent. Basement rock is the rock that forms the core of all continents, and in Missouri, this basement rock was first pushed into the North American Craton by tectonic forces to form what would become the base of Missouri. Additionally, bedrock, which is the layer above the basement rock, was added to the craton over the course of geologic history. Bedrock is not sediment; rather, is dense, hard rock, most often igneous or metamorphic. It is sometimes exposed on the surface, but it is typically hidden by layers of dirt and sediment hundreds or thousands of feet thick. Missouri contains each of the three classes of rocks that forms the basement rock and bedrock: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. The most common igneous rocks in Missouri are rhyolite, granite, diabase, and volcanic tuff, each of which can be seen exposed in the St. Francois Mountains. Metamorphic rocks are formed when rock changes because it is subjected to different extreme conditions that have the potential to morph rocks, including high pressures and temperatures. Metamorphic rocks are rare in Missouri, and they are usually only found in basement rock. The only partially exposed examples in Missouri are the Hawn Park Gneiss found in Hawn State Park (and there is debate as to whether or not this rock is actually metamorphic), and some samples housed in glacial sediment in Northern Missouri."

We all know someone who just doesn't conform to our expectations. Believe it or not, rocks can do that, too. Learn about unconformable rocks in this lesson. Unconformity Defined An unconformity is the contact between sedimentary rocks that are significantly different in age or between sedimentary rocks and older, eroded igneous or metamorphic rocks. Unconformities represent gaps in the geologic record, periods of time that are not represented by any rocks. Unconformities happen for two reasons: sediment deposition stopped for a considerable time and/or existing rocks were eroded prior to being covered by younger sediment. There is no single time span represented by an unconformity."

"text": "\"STRATIGRAPHYCONCEPTStratigraphy is the study of rock layers (strata) deposited in the earth. It is one of the most challenging of geologic subdisciplines, comparable to an exacting form of detective work, yet it is also one of the most important branches of study in the geologic sciences. Earth 's history, quite literally, is written on the strata of its rocks, and from observing these layers, geologists have been able to form an idea of the various phases in that long history. Naturally, information is more readily discernible about the more recent phases, though even in studying these phases, it is possible to be misled by gaps in the rock record, known as unconformities. HOW IT WORKSThe Foundations of Stratigraphy Historical geology, the study of Earth's physical history, is one of the two principal branches of geology, the other being physical geology, or the study of Earth's physical components and the forces that have shaped them. Among the principal subdisciplines of historical geology is stratigraphy, the study of rock layers, which are called strata or, in the singular form, a stratum. Other important subdisciplines include geochronology, the study of Earth's age and the dating of specific formations in terms of geologic time; sedimentology, the study and interpretation of sediments, including sedimentary processes and formations; paleontology, the study of fossilized plants and animals; and paleoecology, the study of the relationship between prehistoric plants and animals and their environments. Several of these subjects are examined in other essays within this book. EARLY WORK IN STRATIGRAPHY. Among the earliest contributions to what could be called historical geology came from the Italian scientist and artist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), who speculated that fossils might have come from the remains of long-dead animals."

"text": "\"Unconformities Unconformities are gaps in the geologic record that may indicate episodes of crustal deformation, erosion, and sea level variations. They are a feature of stratified rocks, and are therefore usually found in sediments (but may also occur in stratified volcanics). They are surfaces between two rock bodies that constitute a substantial break (hiatus) in the geologic record (sometimes people say inaccurately that \"\"time\"\" is missing). Unconformities represent times when deposition stopped, an interval of erosion removed some of the previously deposited rock, and finally deposition was resumed. Commonly three types of unconformities are distinguished by geologists: ANGULAR UNCONFORMITIESDISCONFORMITIESNONCONFORMITIESAngular Unconformities are those where an older package of sediments has been tilted, truncated by erosion, and than a younger package of sediments was deposited on this erosion surface. The sequence of events is summarized in the pictures at left. First: subsidence and sediment deposition occurs; Second: rocks are uplifted and tilted (deformation); Third: erosion removes the uplifted mountain range; Fourth: subsidence occurs, the sea covers the land surface, and new sediments deposition occurs on top the previous land surface. Then the cycle may repeat. For geologists, one of the most famous angular unconformity is the Grand Unconformity in the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Here tilted sedimentary rocks of Precambrian age (lower half of photo) are overlain by younger sedimentary rocks of Phanerozoic age (Cambrian and younger, upper half of photo)."

"text": "Re: Difference between disconformity and unconformity Fri Jun 18, 2010 2:38 pm Mobasi, That's a good question. Basically both indicate a break in deposition, either by nondeposition or erosion. An unconformity describes this phenomena (break in the rock record: hiatus). There are several types of unconformities and of course each has a specific name (eg. nonconformity, disconformity, angular unconformity). A disconformity discribes an unconformity at which the same general layering is present above and below the disconformity. An disconformity is thus much harder to recognize on seismic than for example an angular unconformity (in which layering above and below differs in dip). A nonconformity is also more easily recognized as it occurs where sedimentary rocks are deposited on igneous or metamorphic rocks. These contacts are usually easy to spot since sedimentary rocks are layered and igneous rocks are not generally layered. Metamorphic rocks can also have layering, therefore close examination will allow one to distinguish metamorphic textures and minerals from sedimentary textures and clasts."

There are several different types of faults, and the type of fault that forms is controlled by the type of stress that is applied to a rock (compression, tension or shear). Thrust faults are formed by compressive stresses, and therefore often form where two tectonic plates collide, for example where an oceanic plate is subducted (such as along the Aleutian Islands) or where two continental plates collide and a mountain range is formed (such as the Himalayas). Figure 1. A cross-sectional view of a normal fault (formed due to tensional stresses) and a thrust fault (formed due to compressive stresses)For more information about faults and plate tectonics go to these sites: This dynamic earth http://pubs.usgs.gov/publications/text/dynamic.html Faults http://www.dc.peachnet.edu/~pgore/geology/geo101/faults.htm The Young Earth Creationist (YEC) material in this paper is taken largely from John Whitcomb and Henry Morris' book The Genesis Flood (abbreviated as TGF), first published in 1961 (although the edition I used was published in 1995), which played a major role in the birth of the modern creationist movement. This book is described by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) book store as \"\"the most definitive treatment of the Biblical and scientific evidences of the global flood in the days of Noah.\"\" This is significant because it indicates that the ICR still considers TGF to be accurate, and in fact TGF serves as the source for a lot of younger creationist material. The first three claims from TGF that I address deal with thrust faults in general, while the fourth and fifth specifically addresses the Lewis thrust (also referred to as the Lewis overthrust), a large fault that is exposed in parts of Montana and Alberta. Recognition and occurrence of thrust faults Whitcomb and Morris state:\"\"In every mountainous region on every continent, there seem to be numerous examples of supposedly old strata superimposed on top of young strata. In the absence of definitive structural evidence to the contrary, one would naturally suppose that the lowermost strata must necessarily have been first deposited and, therefore, be older."

Actually, maybe we should start one step further back: Just what is the Colorado Plateau? The Colorado Plateau is an enormous landform that covers most of northern Arizona and much of Utah, a chunk of northwestern New Mexico, and most of far-western Colorado. More specifically, the Plateau is an enormous uplifted tableland. To the north and west it's bordered by the region called the Basin and Range; to the northeast it runs up against the Rocky Mountains; the south side borders the Mogollon Highlands; and to the east and southeast it adjoins the Rio Grande Rift. As the name says, it's a plateau whose height ranges from six to ten thousand feet above sea level, with a number of mountains that soar as high as twelve thousand feet. In general, the Plateau is highest in its central region, northernmost Arizona and southernmost Utah, and lower north and south of that area. The particular part of the Plateau that we're interested in is the Kaibab Uplift, a bulge that runs southeast to northwest across the southwestern quarter of the Colorado Plateau. The Grand Canyon slashes deep into and through the Kaibab Uplift. The Plateau is made of many layers of sedimentary rock mixed with occasional igneous intrusions and lava flows."

"text": "\"Blastocyst (Day 5 or 6) Embryo Transfer What is a Blastocyst? A blastocyst is an embryo that has developed in culture in the IVF laboratory for at least five days after egg retrieval and has divided into two different cell types. The surface cells are termed the trophectoderm and will eventually become the placenta and the inner cells, termed inner cell mass will become the fetus. A healthy blastocyst should hatch from its shell (zona pellucida) by the end of six days or earlier and is then ready to begin to implant within the lining of the uterus. Blastocysts have survived an important \"\"survival test\"\". During the first few days, the embryo relies on the egg cell (from the mother) for all its growing nutrients. However, in order to survive post day three or four, the embryo must activate its own genes so that it can carry on growing and dividing. Unfortunately, not all embryos are able to grow past this milestone and in fact, only about one-third of embryos are capable of becoming blastocysts. If an embryo can propel itself into becoming a blastocyst in vitro then it would appear that nature has sent us a message that these embryos are the product of a \"\"survival of the fittest\"\" test. There is now abundant evidence that transferring blastocyst embryos into the uterus five or six days after egg retrieval, results in higher implantation rates per embryo transferred compared to a day three embryo transfer."

IVF is the most successful treatment you can do using your own eggs and sperm (or donor sperm ). IVF has become mainstream and widely accepted, and continues to grow due to significant technological advances. Common Indications for IVF Treatment There are many types of diagnoses that may lead to IVF. Here are some of the most common indications for IVF treatment: Fallopian tube damage/tubal factor/tubal ligation Male factor infertility Endometriosis Advanced maternal age Unexplained infertility Recurrent pregnancy loss Genetic abnormalities What to Expect What to Expect The IVF Timeline In a normal ovulation cycle, one egg matures per month. The goal of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle is to have many mature eggs available, as this will increase your chances of success with treatment. In order for there to be more than one egg available, stimulation of the ovaries needs to occur. It's important to note that the eggs being stimulated would have grown or died that month, so stimulating the ovaries does not deplete eggs for the future. This is a common question that patients ask, so rest assured. Part I: Stimulation of the Ovaries In the stimulation phase of an IVF cycle, you will use injectable medications for approximately 8 to 14 days to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs."

Moderate and severe OHSS has been reported in 3-8% of IVF cycles (Delvigne and Rosenberg 2002). How is OHSS diagnosed? The symptoms usually begin within a week after the egg collection (early OHSS) or 10 days or more after egg collection (late OHSS). Late OHSS is ore likely to be severe and to last longer than early OHSS and is poorly predictable from the antecedent ovarian response to stimulation . Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may be classified as mild, moderate, severe or critical OHSS by symptoms, signs, biochemistry and blood tests and ultrasound scan findings.

There may be many reasons why a couple are unable to become pregnant, and a thorough investigation of both partners is appropriate before making any decisions about treatment. The first baby born through IVF was Louise Brown, through the pioneering efforts of Drs Steptoe and Edwards, in 1978. Originally, IVF was designed to help women with tubal disease, but today IVF is able to help couples with many different problems achieve a healthy pregnancy. Before explaining IVF it is important to have a basic understanding of the female menstrual cycle. The Normal Menstrual Cycle Women are born with a finite number of eggs. The ovaries are not like the testes in men. The testes are like sperm factories that continue to make fresh sperm all the time. The ovaries are more like “banks” of eggs. The ovaries are not autonomous (self-regulating), and need to be stimulated to function."

The most common chromosome abnormalities in miscarriages include: trisomy (three copies of a chromosome) or monosomy (one copy of a chromosome) for chromosomes 13, 15, 16, 18, 21, or 22; triploidy (three copies of all the chromosomes); and abnormalities of the sex chromosomes. Approximately three out of four (75%) embryos created by IVF will not be capable of producing a live born child. Some will fail to implant in the uterus, while others will implant but be unable to carry out early embryonic development. Finally, as in natural pregnancy, approximately 15%-20% of conceptions will be lost as a clinical miscarriage. While there are many reasons for the failure of an embryo to make a baby, the single most important factor is an abnormality of the chromosomes. Similarly, for most couples, a significant number of the embryos created by IVF will have chromosome abnormalities. The exact percentage of chromosomally abnormal embryos that each couple produces is related to many factors including maternal age, number of failed IVF cycles, and the type of sperm used."

After a successful IVF cycle, which may have included intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), one or two of the best embryos or blastocysts that developed are transferred into the uterus. If you have several other high-quality embryos, these are frozen quickly so that they can be stored for use in the future. Freezing seems safe for the embryo.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the definition of ART includes all fertility treatments in which both sperm and eggs are handled. In general ART procedures involve removing eggs surgically from a woman's ovaries and combining them with sperm in the laboratory and then returning them to the woman's body, or donating them to another woman. They do NOT include treatments where only sperm is handled such as artificial insemination, or the use of fertility drugs to stimulate egg production without the intention of having the eggs surgically removed. ART has been used since 1981 in the United States, most commonly in vitro fertilization (IVF). Deciding whether to undergo one of these expensive treatments can be difficult. It may be possible to start with less invasive fertility treatments (such as IUI or fertility drugs) and gradually move up to ART if these fail. Statistics• 1 percent of all babies born in the U.

Because the exact date of embryo transfer is known, the due date calculation is more precise. Below, we’ll explore the basics about due dates, as well as how to use an IVF calculator to determine your due date. Due Date Basics Due dates are calculated based on the average gestational age at birth, which is about 40 weeks from the woman’s last menstrual period. However, a due date is only an estimate: babies can be born healthy within a range of about a month. Normal term gestation is generally defined as 37-42 weeks, and a baby may be born any time during that period. Only about 10% of women actually give birth on their due dates. The due date is just an estimate – not a requirement. About IVF Due Date Calculations Natural conceptions are calculated based on the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period, and the gestational age is calculated from that time as well.

I’m spotting on the birth control pill – is that ok?"

She did all of these attempts from age 27 to 30. Well.... now it's my turn My partner did not want me to try since I was 10 years older than her.

This may be after the delivery of a child when you wish to come back and use your frozen embryos to grow your family, or it could be after an unsuccessful stimulated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle in which you had embryos cryopreserved. Note: You must undergo a fresh stimulated IVF or donor egg cycle first, in order to have embryos to freeze. What to Expect What to Expect Unlike a fresh stimulated IVF cycle, an FET cycle requires very little testing in advance. You need to have current (within the last year) infectious disease bloodwork. Additionally, if you are returning after a delivery or certain types of gynecological surgery, your physician may require an updated mock embryo transfer (MET) and a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), if indicated. You can easily complete this testing once the cycle start dates have been established and you have started on the cycle/month of oral contraceptives (birth control pills). You and your partner will need to update your informed consents for FET cycles every 6 months. Both partners must sign. The FET Process When you decide to begin a frozen cycle, please contact our office and let us know."

"text": "IVF Cycle The big difference between an IVF cycle and a regular menstrual cycle is that ovulation does not take place in an IVF cycle. Instead, the eggs are retrieved at the point of maturation and are fertilized in the IVF lab to create embryos. After discussion with your primary reproductive endocrinologist, an embryo (s) is then transferred to the uterus to initiate pregnancy. Once the embryo (s) is transferred back into the uterus, there is nothing distinguishable between embryos fertilized in the body or in an IVF laboratory. Below is a more detailed description of the IVF process. It is important to remember that IVF is a step-by-step process and one step cannot begin until the previous step has been completed. Suppression The first few days of a menstrual cycle is considered a “baseline.” If all baseline parameters are met, this is considered the starting point of an IVF cycle. Rather than waiting for the onset of your next period and starting then, the baseline state is often induced by a combination of medications such as birth control pills and/or Lupron. This produces a more predictable response to the stimulation medication and enables us to control the cycle more effectively."

[ 1] The original Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, [2] and the current version of the Act, as amended, [3] encompasses several social welfare and social insurance programs. Social Security is funded primarily through payroll taxes called Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA) or Self Employed Contributions Act Tax (SECA). Tax deposits are collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and are formally entrusted to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, the two Social Security Trust Funds. [ 4] [5] With a few exceptions, all salaried income, up to an amount specifically determined by law (see tax rate table below), is subject to the Social Security payroll tax. All income over said amount is not taxed. In 2018, the maximum amount of taxable earnings was $128,400. [ 6]With few exceptions, all legal residents working in the United States now have an individual Social Security number. Indeed, nearly all working (and many non-working) residents since Social Security's 1935 inception have had a Social Security number because it is requested by a wide range of businesses. In 2015, Social Security expenditures totaled $750.5 billion for OASDI and $146.6 billion for DI. ["

In the United States, benefits are funded by a compulsory governmental insurance system, not taxes on individual citizens. Depending on the jurisdiction and the status of the person, those sums may be small, covering only basic needs, or may compensate the lost time proportionally to the previous earned salary. Unemployment benefits are generally given only to those registering as unemployed, and often on conditions ensuring that they seek work and do not currently have a job, and are validated as being laid off and not fired for cause in most states. In some countries, a significant proportion of unemployment benefits are distributed by trade/labour unions, an arrangement known as the Ghent system.

The Act gave the British working classes a contributory system of insurance against illness and unemployment.

I'm going to be applying for my retirement benefits soon and have read that Social Security makes more than 59 million benefit payments every month. How can it manage so many without mine getting lost in the shuffle? A. As you might imagine, the job requires a lot of computer time, organization and scheduling. Let's start with scheduling. Social Security used to send out all benefit payments on the third day of the month. That became unwieldy as the number of beneficiaries grew. So for people who began their benefits on or after May 1, 1997, Social Security switched to a \"\"payment cycling\"\" system that uses their birthdays to spread payments over three Wednesdays in each month. This staggered schedule is also a big help to the nation's banking industry, which each month has to process those millions of deposits."

"text": "\"When Will My Medicare Coverage Start? When you choose to apply for Medicare will affect your effective dateby Amy De Vore+ on Jan 22, 2018 | 55 Comments Tweet Understanding when your Medicare Part A and Part B will be effective is important to know so that you can coordinate cancellation of your current insurance and enrollment into Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans. While most people will be automatically enrolled in Original Medicare, those who are born on the 1st of the month or those who enroll themselves can have different Medicare effective dates. You can calculate your enrollment dates here. This article was updated on January 22, 2018 to include our deadline calculator When Will My Medicare Coverage Start? Like we said above, most people will be automatically enrolled into Medicare. This typically happens when you have already enrolled to receive Social Security. If this is your story, you will receive your red, white, and blue card about three months before your 65 birthday, and your coverage will begin on the 1st day of your birth month. If your birthday lands on the 1st of the month, however, then your coverage will begin on the 1st day of the prior month. An example of this is if you were born on May 1st, your Medicare coverage would start April 1."

This information has been assembled by multiple Raytheon folks and refers to the LEGACY Raytheon retirement. There are dozens of retirement plans across the company. OPTIMUM RETIREMENT TIMEUnder the new PTO policy it looks like December 31, is the time to retire to optimize your PTO Time. You could accumulate a maximum of 240 hours of PTO by your retirement year-end. The trick is not to take any PTO the year during which you plan to retire and make sure you have carried at least 40 hours from the prior year If you can sell back 240 hours of PTO, it will translate to a significant improvement to your monthly pension. The money is in the last check and it is averaged over 5 years. Just remember that selling back time means more money in your pocket per month for life, you just have to live to collect it."

"text": "Window periods Published: 30 June 2012The window period is the time during which markers of infection are not detectable. The length of the window period varies between individuals; UK guidelines state that for a fourth-generation test the window period is one month. Testing during this period can result in false negative results. People seeking testing may be confused or uncertain about the significance and length of window periods. The window period refers to the time after infection and before seroconversion, during which markers of infection (HIV-specific antigen and antibodies) are still absent or too scarce to be detectable. Standard screening tests cannot reliably detect HIV infection until after the window period has passed. Testing guidelines therefore recommend that a person who may have been recently infected should have a repeat test some weeks or months after the possible date of infection. But as there is a natural variation in the time it takes different individuals to produce detectable antigen and antibodies, definitive statements about the length of window periods are difficult to make. Older recommendations were to defer testing until as much as three months after exposure. 1However, the effective window period has grown shorter with more sensitive, newer-generation assays."

DO check out that whole article (\"\"Maven's Word of the Day\"\" has a lot of other cool stuff too!)

( And to this day there are some dialects in which the 'd' can still be heard. Some of this is documented in the Oxford English Dictionary.) The articles mentioned, and other answers, have said a little bit about how some of these variations arise."

"text": "\"Thanksgiving is among the busiest travel times of the year in the U. S. Most people look forward to getaways and get-togethers with family and friends, yet traveling over holiday seasons can be a stressful nuisance. Traveling during these times usually means more expensive airfare, longer lines at the airport and more traffic on the roads. Keeping an eye on the busiest travel days can help you coordinate your itinerary to make traveling easier, less stressful and more affordable so you can enjoy both the holiday and your trip. Christmas and New Year's The Christmas and New Year's holiday season is an extremely busy time to travel -- in 2012, AAA projected that over 93 million people traveled during that time of the year. During this 10- to 17-day holiday period, traveling spikes up by 23 percent compared to the rest of the year. Christmas and New Year's fall on different days of the week each year, but traveling tends to be concentrated around the weekends, regardless. Thanksgiving Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest travel holidays during the year. In 2012, AAA estimated that nearly 44 million people traveled during this long holiday weekend -- 90 percent traveled by car, while the other 10 percent traveled by air, train or bus. Despite what many people believe, Thanksgiving Day is actually a heavier travel day than the Wednesday that precedes it; traveling is also evenly spread out during the six-day holiday span, from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving through the Sunday that follows the holiday. However, airports tend to be more crowded on the Wednesday and Sunday of this holiday weekend."

However, the bottom would suddenly fall out and the Pirates lost their final three games by a combined 72-9 score, to fall to 6-6.

The two new names to add to your Intel vocabulary include Cannon Lake, a 10nm chip that Intel showed off at CES last month, and an unnamed fourth-generation 14nm chip that some are referring to as Coffee Lake. The latter chip is perhaps the most interesting, as it would extend Intel’s 14nm chips to a record four generations, following Broadwell, Skylake, and the current Kaby Lake chip. When Intel added a third 14nm chip 2015, signalling the end of the company’s vaunted “tick-tock” manufacturing process, the industry freaked out . A fourth, then, would be absolutely unprecedented. But Intel already seems to be setting the stage to convince investors and customers that it can manufacture four straight generations of chips on the same 14-nm process without giving up consistent performance improvements—which is what customers care about, after all. Why this matters: At its investor day last week, Intel said that its 8th-generation Core chips—which should include Cannon Lake and Coffee Lake—will deliver a 15 percent performance improvement over Kaby Lake. That’s good enough for most consumers."

At the time, it was considered bad form for retailers to display Christmas decorations or have \"\"Christmas\"\" sales before the celebration of Thanksgiving. In keeping with a custom begun by Lincoln in 1863, U. S. Presidents had declared a general day of thanksgiving to be observed on the last Thursday in November."

"text": "Home Parenting Pregnancy Fourth Month Of Pregnancy – 13 to 16 Weeks Pregnancy Parenting Pregnancy Fourth Month Of Pregnancy – 13 to 16 Weeks Pregnancy Fourth Month Pregnancy: Crossing into the fourth month of pregnancy i.e. the second trimester gives a different feeling all together. Your baby is more active than before alternating between sleep and active time. During these weeks of pregnancy, no new organs are formed but the muscles continue to develop. Features are starting to resemble a real baby and the ossification process sees cartilages being replaced with soft bones. He/she can swallow, suck on his/ her thumb and urinates in the amniotic fluid. Measuring about 6 inches the baby continues to develop and become more and more aware. Fourth Month Pregnancy – What to expect & symptoms Riot of emotions – Pregnant women often feel a lot of emotions at the same time or what may look exaggerated to others. One of the reasons is the movement of the baby which is constant reminder for the mother of her child. Fourth month pregnancy also sees a rise in energy levels and appetite reason being nausea and dizziness vanish. You are no longer tired but instead gearing up to take exercise classes or enjoy being pregnant."

This is alternatively called the umbilical vesicle by the Terminologia Embryologica (TE), though yolk sac is far more widely used. The yolk sac is important in early embryonic blood supply, and much of it is incorporated into the primordial gut during the fourth week of development.

Artificially colored, showing gestational sac, yolk sac and embryo (measuring 3 mm as the distance between the + signs). The yolk sac is the first element seen within the gestational sac during pregnancy, usually at 3 days gestation. The yolk sac is situated on the ventral aspect of the embryo; it is lined by extra-embryonic endoderm, outside of which is a layer of extra-embryonic mesenchyme, derived from the mesoderm. Blood is conveyed to the wall of the yolk sac by the primitive aorta, and after circulating through a wide-meshed capillary plexus, is returned by the vitelline veins to the tubular heart of the embryo. This constitutes the vitelline circulation, and by means of it nutritive material is absorbed from the yolk sac and conveyed to the embryo. At the end of the fourth week the yolk sac presents the appearance of a small pear-shaped opening (traditionally called the umbilical vesicle ), into the digestive tube by a long narrow tube, the vitelline duct."

The third season continues the comic adventures of seven castaways as they attempted to survive and escape from an island on which they had been shipwrecked. Most episodes revolve around the dissimilar castaways' conflicts and their failed attempts—invariably Gilligan's fault—to escape their plight. The season originally aired on Mondays at 7:30-8:00 pm (EST). Originally, it was planned for the series to be renewed at the conclusion of its third season, but at the last minute, CBS decided to renew their older show Gunsmoke (which soon vaulted to the top five in the rankings) and drop Gilligan's Island. This came as a shock to both the cast, crew, and series creator Sherwood Schwartz. At the time of its cancellation, the series was ranked 44th out of 101 shows in total. Immediately following the cessation of the show, it was sold into syndication, wherein it became a major success. However, Schwartz was forced to hire lawyers and audit United Artists film studio because they did not pay royalties in a timely fashion."

Mississippi Burning Theatrical release poster Directed by Alan Parker Produced by Frederick Zollo Robert F. Colesberry Written by Chris Gerolmo Starring Gene Hackman Willem Dafoe Music by Trevor Jones Cinematography Peter Biziou Edited by Gerald Hambling Distributed by Orion Pictures Release date December 2, 1988 (Washington)December 9, 1988 (North America, limited)Running time 128 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $15 million Box office $34.6 million (USA) [1]Mississippi Burning is a 1988 American crime thriller film directed by Alan Parker, and written by Chris Gerolmo. It is loosely based on the FBI 's investigation into the 1964 Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner murder case in Mississippi. The film stars Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe as two FBI agents assigned to investigate the disappearance of three civil rights workers in fictional Jessup County, Mississippi. The investigation is met with hostility and backlash by the town's residents, local police, and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Gerolmo began work on the original script in 1985, after researching the 1964 murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. He and producer Frederick Zollo took the script to Orion Pictures, and Parker was subsequently hired by the studio to direct the film. Both the writer and director had disputes over the script, which resulted in Orion allowing Parker to make uncredited rewrites. Principal photography commenced in March 1988 and concluded in May of that year with a budget of $15 million."

S. states and five Canadian provinces Map of eruption deposits On May 18, 1980, a major volcanic eruption occurred at Mount St. Helens, a volcano located in Skamania County, in the State of Washington. The eruption (a VEI 5 event) was the most significant volcanic eruption to occur in the contiguous 48 U. S. states since the 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak in California. [ 1] It has often been declared as the most disastrous volcanic eruption in U. S. history. The eruption was preceded by a two-month series of earthquakes and steam -venting episodes, caused by an injection of magma at shallow depth below the volcano that created a large bulge and a fracture system on the mountain's north slope. An earthquake at 8:32:17 a.m. PDT ( UTC −7) on Sunday, May 18, 1980, caused the entire weakened north face to slide away, creating the largest landslide ever recorded. This allowed the partly molten, high-pressure gas- and steam -rich rock in the volcano to suddenly explode northwards toward Spirit Lake in a hot mix of lava and pulverized older rock, overtaking the avalanching face. An eruption column rose 80,000 feet (24 km; 15 mi) into the atmosphere and deposited ash in 11 U. S. states. [ 2] At the same time, snow, ice and several entire glaciers on the volcano melted, forming a series of large lahars (volcanic mudslides) that reached as far as the Columbia River, nearly 50 miles (80 km) to the southwest. Less severe outbursts continued into the next day, only to be followed by other large, but not as destructive, eruptions later that year."

On March 15, 1988, the NFL team owners voted to allow Bidwill to move the Cardinals from St. Louis to Phoenix, Arizona for the 1988 NFL season. [ 1] The team became the Phoenix Cardinals. They planned to play at Arizona State University 's Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe on a temporary basis while a new stadium was being built. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the savings and loan crisis derailed financing for the stadium, forcing the Cardinals to play at Arizona State for 18 years. In defiance of all geographic reality, the Cardinals remained in the NFC East. In March 1994, Bill Bidwill renamed the team the Arizona Cardinals due to fan preference (Bidwill had initially resisted the name \"\"Arizona Cardinals\"\" due to the NFL's tradition of team names that identified home cities, although the Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots were longstanding exceptions and the Carolina Panthers were set to start play the following year.).

Her son Caesarion, whose father was the famous Julius Caesar, succeeded her as the pharaoh for a few days, but Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus had him killed and made Egypt a province of the recently established Roman Empire, known as Aegyptus. Since Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus was the adopted son of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra’s son Caesarion was actually killed by orders of his adoptive brother. Cleopatra’s Death Still Isn’t Completely Resolved The most widely accepted theory is that Cleopatra killed herself by allowing an asp (Egyptian cobra) to bite her on her breast after Octavian conquered Alexandria and captured her. In some stories from the following centuries, two asps are mentioned. But modern historians have questioned these stories, believing that she might been poisoned (on Augustus’ orders) with a mixture of poisons that might have consisted of hemlock, wolfsbane and opium. The main reason for this belief is the simple fact that asp venom causes severe paralysis before death, contradicting the historical accounts of Cleopatra’s death, which was described as slow and painless. Cleopatra Became Pharaoh When She Was Only 18Nowadays, when people of many countries in the world turn 18, they get the right to drink, drive and vote, but Cleopatra facts reveal that the famous Egyptian queen got much more than that – a whole kingdom! After her father’s death in 51 BC, by which time she had been acting as a joint regent and deputy to him for four years, she became the monarch together with her younger brother Ptolemy XIII. Despite having the reputation of being one of the grandest rulers in history, her reign was short-lived and lasted only a few years altogether."

"text": "JULIUS CAESAR: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND102/100 BCE: Gaius Julius Caesar was born (by Caesarean section according to an unlikely legend) of Aurelia and Gaius Julius Caesar, a praetor. His family had noble, patrician roots, although they were neither rich nor influential in this period. His aunt Julia was the wife of Gaius Marius, leader of the Popular faction.c. 85 BCE: His father died, and a few years later he was betrothed and possibly married to a wealthy young woman, Cossutia. This betrothal/marriage was soon broken off, and at age 18 he married Cornelia, the daughter of a prominent member of the Popular faction; she later bore him his only legitimate child, a daughter, Julia. When the Optimate dictator, Sulla, was in power, he ordered Caesar to divorce her; when Caesar refused, Sulla proscribed him (listed him among those to be executed), and Caesar went into hiding. Caesar's influential friends and relatives eventually got him a pardon.c. 79 BCE: Caesar, on the staff of a military legate, was awarded the civic crown (oak leaves) for saving the life of a citizen in battle. His general sent him on an embassy to Nicomedes, the king of Bithynia, to obtain a fleet of ships; Caesar was successful, but subsequently he became the butt of gossip that he had persuaded the king (a homosexual) only by agreeing to sleep with him. When Sulla died in 78, Caesar returned to Rome and began a career as a orator/lawyer (throughout his life he was known as an eloquent speaker) and a life as an elegant man-about-town.75 BCE: While sailing to Greece for further study, Caesar was kidnapped by Cilician pirates and held for ransom."

Cassius, because of a misunderstanding, asked his servant to kill him, and Brutus, who committed suicide, believed Caesar’s ghost was telling him it was his time to die. Citizens wreaked havoc throughout the city, trying to look for those who killed Caesar, so the conspirators were driven out of Rome. They then set up camps to prepare for battle. According to an anonymous source who was present at the scene, while in his tent, Cassius noticed a group of burning tents and a series of advancing troops in the distance, and he instructed Titinius to find out whose troops they were. The source said Cassius was worried about Titinius, so he sent Pindarus to monitor Titinius’s progress. Pindarus reported back to Cassius, describing Titinius surrounded by unknown men cheering. Upset by the news of what he believed was his best friend’s death, he commanded Pindarus to come back. Cassius gave Pindarus his sword, covered his own face, and demanded that Pindarus kill him."

"text": "Gabe Wilhorn, History is one of my teenage passions. I love being corrected. Updated Feb 14, 2017Originally Answered: Was Julius Caesar killed for a good reason? It really depends on your perspective To the senate who had enjoyed power for so long, he was killed for a very good reason. They believed he had gotten too powerful for his own good and foolishly believed that killing him would result in a restoration of the republic and end of the dictatorship. Instead they caused a civil war that drained Rome’s resources and left it weakened until Augustus won and took power, initiating the era of the empire. Ironically the senate seeking to restore the republic actually put an end to it and created an empire. To the people of the empire it was horrible and awful. Julius Caesar was a very reformative ruler and initiated lots of agricultural and Social policies that the people loved. They saw him as benevolent and kind ruler."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Emperor Augustus served as the first Roman emperor. His Principate ended republican rule in Rome and began Pax Romana. The Roman Emperors were rulers of the Roman Empire, wielding power over its citizens and military. The empire was developed as the Roman Republic invaded and occupied most of Europe and portions of northern Africa and western Asia. Under the republic, regions of the empire were ruled by provincial governors answerable to and authorised by the \"\" Senate and People of Rome \"\". Rome and its senate were ruled by a variety of magistrates – of whom the consuls were the most powerful. The republic ended, and the emperors were created, when these magistrates became legally and practically subservient to one citizen with power over all other magistrates. Augustus, the first emperor, was careful to maintain the façade of republican rule, taking no specific title for his position [1] and calling the concentration of magisterial power princeps senatus (the first man of the senate). [ 1] This style of government lasted for 300 years, and is thus called the Principate. The modern word 'emperor' derives from the title imperator, which was granted by an army to a successful general; during the initial phase of the empire, it still had to be earned by the princeps."

As Caesar entered the Roman senate, he dispatched his security force and was subsequently stabbed by other Roman senators, including Servilius Casca and Brutus, the latter of whom supposedly brought his knife to Caesar's groin. Upon Caesar's death, his adopted son, Octavian, was left in charge of Rome."

Brutus appears guilty of killing Caesar in season two and bathes naked in a river in order to have himself reborn of his past acions and from then on seems less worried about it. After raising a considerable army with Cassius, Brutus's spirits rise considerably as they march back to Rome, having apparently come to terms with his role as defender of the Republic. The good humour does not last long however as he is soon defeated at the Battle of Philippi by the combined forces of Octavian and Antony."

The Battle of Philippi took place in the year *October 3 and 23, 42 BC*. Cassius built *transverse dam* to stop Antony from breaking Cassius’s and Brutus’s armies apart. Cassius killed himself because *he lost the battle*. Brutus defeated *Cassius*’s army. There were *two* different battles at the Battle of Philippi. The entire Battle of Philippi lasted for *about two weeks*. The Battle of Philippi started after the assassination of *Caesar*. Cassius’s and Brutus’s army fought *Antony's and Octavius's*. Cassius killed himself because *he heard from Pindarus that Titinius was captured by Antony's soldiers*. Brutus killed himself because *he would rather die than go to Rome as a defeated prisoner*. Before he died, Brutus said to Caesar’s ghost, (paraphrase) *he says he will see him him at Philippi then to leave*. Antony said that Brutus was *an honest man although he's being sarcastic*. Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius, To cut the head off and then hack the limbs, Like wrath in death and envy afterwards; For Antony is but a limb of Caesar: Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius. Patriot Act 2, Scene 1, Page 8 Here Brutus explains that while they must kill Caesar to save Rome from dictatorship, they must not kill Marc Antony as well, or they will appear to be cold blooded killers in the eyes of the people rather than defenders of the country. Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar. Traitor Act 3, Scene 1, Page 5 Here Caesar looks at Brutus as Brutus stabs him and says, “You too, Brutus!” Brutus was Caesar’s good friend."

The people that were each had their own way of ruling, which caused complications and which also caused triumph in certain cases. The First Triumvirate did not accomplish as much as the Second Triumvirate due to difficulties among each other. Julius Caesar, an effective speaker joined forces with two other powerful men to create what became the First Triumvirate. The First Triumvirate included Pompey the Great, and Marcus Licinius Crassus, along with Julius Caesar. ( Balsdon 75) In seventy one BC Pompey the Great, who had earned his epithet in service under Sulla, returned to Rome, after having defeated the ever so popular general Sertorius in Spain. At the same time Pompey was returning to Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich aristocrat, was restrained in Italy. ( White 14) Pompey and Crassus ran for the position of consulship, and since it was a position held by two men they both won. Even though Pompey at this time was ineligible Julius Caesar helped him win. The two consuls were now Pompey and Crassus. ("

He was Rome's first emperor, having won a civil war more than 40 years earlier that transformed the dysfunctional Roman Republic into an empire. Under Augustus and his successors, the empire experienced 200 years of relative peace and prosperity. Here are 40 maps that explain the Roman Empire — its rise and fall, its culture and economy, and how it laid the foundations of the modern world. The rise and fall of Rome Roke The rise and fall of Rome In 500 BC, Rome was a minor city-state on the Italian peninsula. By 200 BC, the Roman Republic had conquered Italy, and over the following two centuries it conquered Greece and Spain, the North African coast, much of the Middle East, modern-day France, and even the remote island of Britain. In 27 BC, the republic became an empire, which endured for another 400 years. Finally, the costs of holding such a vast area together become too great. Rome gradually split into Eastern and Western halves, and by 476 AD the Western half of the empire had been destroyed by invasions from Germanic tribes. The Eastern half of the empire, based in Constantinople, continued for many centuries after that."

Bruising gas prices, new federal regulations and a wave of hybrids, plug-ins, clean diesels and electric vehicles are combining to change the U. S. fleet. But this isn't the first time companies have looked to fuel efficiency instead of horsepower. Following twin energy crises in the 1970s, a new breed of cars began to appear. They were small, streamlined and, by today's standards, underpowered. But they scored big at the fuel pump. In 1975, the Environmental Protection Agency began tracking the gas mileage on all vehicles sold in the U. S. In 24 of those 34 model years since, one or another of these five cars has been the most fuel-efficient car in the country. All fuel economy numbers are updated to reflect the newest EPA testing regime. Back in the day, they would have been even higher. By Jy Murphy Oct 22, 2008The All-Time Stingiest: Honda Insight It seems a bit unfair to put a hybrid in this lineup, but the 2000 Insight was the first gas-electric hybrid on the US market, and its fuel economy is just too monstrous to ignore: 49 city, 61 highway."

"text": "\"Top 10 Styx Songs Sterling Whitaker Michael Ochs Archive/Getty Images Share on Twitter Share on Facebook The best Styx songs showcase a group that has always been unafraid to explore new musical ground. The band's best work spans the '70s and the '80s, encompassing everything from guitar-driven hard rock to straight ballads, and incorporating elements of progressive rock, metal, classical music and even techno-pop. From unemployment anthems and songs about the state of America, to romantic ballads and songs about robots, the group had a little something for just about everyone -- as you'll see on our list of the Top 10 Styx Songs:10'Suite Madame Blue'From: 'Equinox' (1975)Styx singer/keyboardist Dennis De Young wrote 'Suite Madame Blue' in 1975 for the impending American Bicentennial. The song is a perfect blend of all of Styx' most important elements, bringing together a melodic verse, massive Sabbath-esque guitar riffing, and impressive synth and guitar solos from De Young and James \"\"JY\"\" Young to form a track that is undeniably one of the Top 10 Styx Songs.9'Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)'From: 'The Grand Illusion' (1977)Guitarist Tommy Shaw scored his first real hit with this airy track, which showcases the progressive side of Styx, balancing Shaw's acoustic singer-songwriter roots with Dennis De Young's keyboard wizardry. De Young dominates the track musically, topping it off with a pair of jaw-dropping keyboard solos, while Styx' unique triple-layered harmony onslaught provides the icing on the musical cake.8'Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)'From: 'Pieces of Eight' (1978)Written by Shaw after a conversation with a friend who had been laid off, 'Blue Collar Man' represents the heavier side of Styx, with crunchy power chords in the rhythm track and a flashy guitar solo. De Young contributed the track's signature distorted organ riff, and a prototypical arena rock anthem was born.7'Lady'From: 'Styx II' (1973)This failed single from Styx' sophomore album got a second chance in 1975, when it landed at No. 6 on the Billboard charts. De Young wrote the song, the first of many for his wife. Musically 'Lady' is the paradigm for a sound that became Styx' signature, with a classical piano figure in the verse and heavy guitars in the chorus. ' Lady' not only introduced the world to Styx' trademark blaring vocal triads, it launched the group's career, easily earning its spot in the Top 10 Styx Songs.6'The Best of Times'From: 'Paradise Theatre' (1981)With this rock ballad, De Young accomplished the difficult task of marrying a romantic lyrical theme with social commentary.

Streptococci (strep-tuh-KAH-kye) are common bacteria that live in the human body, including the nose, skin, and genital tract. These bacteria can destroy red blood cells, damage them, or cause no damage at all. The amount of damage they do is used to classify streptococcus strains. The ones that destroy red blood cells are known as beta-hemolytic (he-muh-LIH-tik), and these strains are categorized as groups A through G. Groups A and B streptococci are most often associated with disease. Group A strep (GAS) infections range from superficial skin infections and strep throat to serious and life-threatening illnesses such as toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis (NEH-kro-tie-zing fash-e-EYE-tis). Group B strep (GBS) is the leading cause of life-threatening infections in newborns. In pregnant women, GBS can lead to bladder infections, infections of the womb, and death of the fetus * . Alpha-hemolytic streptococci are strains that damage red blood cells but do not destroy them."

[ 1] He was the youngest brother of the Bee Gees: Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb.

The Buccaneers gained infamy as the first team to play an entire 14-game season without winning or tying a single game (including five games where they never even scored). They did not score until their third game and did not score a touchdown until their fourth. They lost by more than a touchdown 11 times. Colorful, maverick former USC coach John Mc Kay, whose wisecracking remarks occasionally agitated fans and the league, led the team. Lee Roy Selmon, the Buccaneers’ first Hall of Fame representative, made his rookie debut in an injury-plagued season. The expansion draft was largely made up of aging veterans, giving the Buccaneers little basis for success. The lack of medical information provided on players in the expansion draft contributed heavily to the team’s problems, as they finished the season with 17 players on injured reserve. They were last in the league in points scored, touchdowns, and rushing touchdowns. [ 1] After a 19-point 4th-quarter performance brought them within striking distance of a victory in week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, they were blown out of every game the rest of the season. ["

By Ellen Kamhi, Ph D, RNPrinter Friendly Page Abstract Osteoporosis is a major public health issue affecting more than 10 million Americans. It is usually diagnosed in later life, but the most important time to focus on building healthy bones is during the first 3 decades of life. Providing sufficient bone-building nutrients, along with weight bearing exercise, may be the best protection against this disease. Pharmaceutical agents can be effective in treating osteoporosis, but there is an increased interest in non-pharmacological prevention and treatment for the condition. Pharmaceutical agents can be effective in treating osteoporosis, but there is an increased interest in non-pharmacological prevention and treatment for the condition. Healthcare providers can help prevent and treat osteoporosis by supporting the improvement of nutritional status through diet and nutritional supplementation, along with suggestion for an increase in exercise training.

It can strike anyone at any age, although it is most prevalent in Caucasian and Asian, small-boned women over 50."

"text": "\"Breeding for Pet Owners - Estrus and Mating in Dogs By Ernest Ward, DVMBreeding, Care & Wellness When does a female dog first come into \\\"\"heat\\\"\"? Puberty or sexual maturity in the female dog usually occurs around six months of age. The smaller breeds tend to go into estrus or \"\"heat\"\" earlier and some females can have their first \"\"heat\"\" cycle as early as four months of age. On the other hand, the large and giant breeds can be up to two years old before they come into heat for the first time. For many dogs, the first heat is “silent” or does not have clinical signs associated with estrus. Additionally, many dogs’ first estrus cycle is unlikely to allow successful breeding, thus the standard practice of waiting until the second or third heat cycle before breeding. How often do female dogs come into heat? On average, this occurs about twice a year or every six months, although it varies from dog to dog. When cycling first begins, there may be a great deal of variability in the time between cycles. This is normal."

Alternatively, there are several mating dances or acts that males perform. Males spread their tails and show all parts of their body and then zip back in forth in front of the female. They also perform courtship dives, where they go as high as 60 feet in the air and then plummet down, pulling out of the dive only inches above the female."

The period of heat lasts an average of about a week, but can vary from three to 14 days. Your cat will exhibit many behaviors during estrus that you should expect. The only cure for these behaviors is to have the cat spayed. Five Stages of the Feline Estrus Cycle Proestrus: Not many signs are seen in the cat for this stage. The female is attractive to the male but unwilling to mate. Length: one to two days. Estrus (Heat): This is when the female cat is receptive to the male.

Table of Contents Mating Hair Rings Complications During Pregnancy Birth Complications at Birth Weight Gain During Pregnancy Postpartum Heat/Breedbacks In this second of three articles in the series on breeding chinchillas, we look at the mating process along with the actual pregnancy. Mating We're assuming here that you are working with a pair of chinchillas that has already been well socialized. When the male is ready to mate (which of course he pretty much always is once mature enough – just waiting for the signal from the female) he may make a cooing, chuckling noise and both sexes may rub their chins on the floor or nest box. Mating usually takes place at night, but often it also can be observed in the evening or the early morning hours. Following what often becomes an all night romp you will often find bunches of fur and perhaps the “mating plug”. This is a waxy plug, larger then the “estrus plug”, about 1 1/2 inches long. Hair Rings After mating the male should be checked for the presence of a hair ring. Most males are very careful about cleaning the penis after each mating, but due to the often large amount of hair loss during mating it can be hard for him to remove all of the loose fur that can accumulate inside the penile sheath."

"text": "\"Cats and Mating10 Dec, 2014 Pet Place.com Veterinarians 102,290 Views Share Before breeding your cat, learn what is involved in mating, reproducing and delivering healthy kittens. Sometimes, breeding isn't a good idea. The Male (The Tom)Puberty in a male cat, called a tom cat, sets in at 6 to 8 months of age when he is able to fertilize a female cat. The male's reproductive life can last 14 years or more. If you want to breed your male cat, he should come from a healthy litter of good size and be born of a female cat who had no difficulties giving birth or rearing the litter. The Female (The Queen)Once the breeding season begins, in general around January or February, the female, called the queen, will go into heat multiple times until the end of the breeding season in October or November. The heat cycle is greatly affected by the ratio of daylight to darkness and by temperature. In cat colonies, for example, with 14 hours of light and 10 hours of darkness, as well as constant temperatures, female cats will be in the breeding cycle year-round. The female is able to bear young as early as 7 to 9 months of age and is fertile another 7 to 9 years. Usually after that, the cat can no longer bear kittens, although there are exceptions."

Female cats that are not spayed will eventually come into heat, also called estrus or oestrus. The signs of a cat in heat are very clear once you know what to look for. What Is Feline Estrus? Female cats that have not been spayed undergo reproductive hormonal changes in preparation for breeding. This process is called estrus, or heat, and typically begins around six months of age. In general, cats experience estrus twice a year in the spring and fall. They may enter heat repeatedly during each season."

"text": "Rats are very easy to breed. In fact, many people end up with unplanned baby rats! Rats can reach sexual maturity at 5 weeks of age, so the sexes should be separated prior to this age. Rats do not recognize incest, so brothers and sisters and even mothers and sons must be separated. Rats do not have a breeding season, although very hot or cold temperatures will reduce breeding. Females of breeding age come into heat all year-round, every 4 to 5 days, unless they are pregnant, and even then, they may come in heat once or twice early in the pregnancy. Each female usually has a regular schedule that can be marked on the calendar, but it can vary. Each heat usually begins in the evening and lasts most of the night. As a female approaches menopause at about 18 months of age, her cycle will become more irregular until it stops completely, and if she is bred during this time, the size of her litters will decrease as her fertility wanes. It is possible for a female who has stopped cycling to get pregnant, although the pregnancy may not develop normally."

"text": "\"Is My Cat Pregnant? How To Diagnose Cat Pregnancy. Unless a mature female cat is spayed early (prior to attaining puberty) or kept housed in a strictly indoors environment well away from male cats, it is very likely that she will become pregnant at some stage in her life. Cats are rampant breeders and it is not uncommon for cat owners to bring \"\"suddenly-fat,\"\" entire, female cats into the veterinary clinic for reasons of pregnancy diagnosis. In these situations, the cat breeding is generally accidental, not deliberate (i.e. the cat pregnancy is, at best, \"\"unexpected\"\" and, at worst, \"\"unwanted\"\") and the cats are usually presented to the vet clinic in an advanced state of feline gestation. Registered cat breeders, likewise, often make use of the cat pregnancy diagnosis services available at their local vet clinic. Generally, such cat breeders are seeking to confirm whether or not a deliberate mating between cats has resulted in a pregnancy (i.e. the pregnancy is \"\"wanted\"\") and, usually, these female cats are presented to the veterinarian in a much earlier stage of cat pregnancy (often well before they have begun to shown external signs of pregnancy). Commercial cat breeders typically want to know additional facts about the feline pregnancy such as: how many kittens are present, what size the kittens are and whether the cat pregnancy seems viable, healthy and normal. This page contains detailed information about how to diagnose pregnancy in cats, including: feline pregnancy signs, cat pregnancy ultrasounds (cat pregnancy scan), abdominal radiography and certain other cat pregnancy tests. Information on how to determine numbers of kittens present (litter size), sizes of kittens present and assess the basic health of the kittens in utero is also included."

This is the time when the female dog can become pregnant Care must be taken if you do not want a litter of unwanted puppies. It is not always obvious that the dog is in a season. Especially when it is the first season. The signs may be quite difficult to spot. That is because the swelling and discharge can be almost non-existent. When the first heat actually occurs, varies enormously from dog to dog. An unspayed female dog can usually be expected to come into heat twice yearly, it normally lasts three weeks. Unfortunately, nature does not do usually, when it comes to seasons you cannot class all dogs alike."

D Gray A cat's heat cycle is difficult to control because it depends on many factors: breed, age, conditions of the animal's environment and so on. But it is true that there are some cyclical patterns that are followed, that can help us to predict when a cat will be in heat. In this One How To article we will explain how often cats are in heat so you can assist and help your pet during this period when they wish to mate. When asking yourself: how often are cats in heat?, the first thing to know is that female and male heat cannot be treated equally as the former become predisposed during certain times of the year to mate whereas males are more accessible throughout the year. In this article, we will discuss the heat cycle of each sex differently so you understand the needs of each gender.

"text": "\"Gordon King, Animal Science Department, University of Guelph, Canada The Importance of Reproductive Performance Livestock farmers generally appreciate the time and input costs required to grow animals from birth to market weight. What is sometimes overlooked is the substantial expense involved with maintaining the mature breeding animals that are necessary to produce any stock for subsequent growing and finishing. Profitability in any commercial livestock-breeding unit is related closely to reproductive efficiency. Unfortunately, some producers and even many of their \"\"expert\"\" advisers pay insufficient attention to this aspect. No presently available procedure allows prediction of current or future fertility. Thus, accurate monitoring of immediate past performance is essential to identify problems quickly and to initiate solutions before consequences become too severe. Some considerations for the assessment of performance and suggestions for problem solving are presented later in this section. Boar Selection The boars have more impact than the females. Select wisely and carefully. Concentrate on performance trait (s) of economic importance and select from source that test or record as many boars as possible (high selection intensity)Make certain only healthy replacements selected."

"text": "The Importance of Spaying and Neutering Cats From the Sacramento Area Animal Coalition At what age do female cats first go in to heat? Female cats typically reach sexual maturity when they are about 4.5 – 7.0 lb (2.3-3.2 kg), or between five and nine months of age. However, it is possible for female kittens as young as four months to go into heat and become pregnant! In addition, domestic shorthair and longhair cats may reach sexual maturity earlier than purebred cats, and free-roaming cats may become sexually mature sooner than cats kept indoors. How long do they stay in heat? The duration of estrus (heat) varies in individual cats. Heat lasts an average of seven days, but may be as long as 21 days. If a female cat doesn’t mate and become pregnant, she may go back into heat repeatedly, with only brief periods of non-heat – as little as two days – between heats!At what age can they become pregnant? A female cat can become pregnant as soon as she is sexually mature – as early as four months of age. During what times of the year can a female cat get pregnant?"

The study by the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam says that despite decades of research, there is no conclusive evidence the young Jewish diarist and her family were betrayed to the Netherlands' German occupiers during the Second World War. Ronald Leopold, executive director of the Anne Frank House museum, said the new research \"\"illustrates that other scenarios should also be considered\"\". One theory is that the 4 August 1944 raid that led to Anne's arrest could have been part of an investigation into illegal labour or falsified ration coupons at the canal-side house where she and other Jews hid for more than two years. The house where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis Anne kept a diary whilst in hiding and this was published after the war, turning her into a globally recognised symbol of Holocaust victims. She died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp aged 15, shortly before it was liberated by Allied forces. The new research highlights two men who worked in the building on Amsterdam's Prinsengracht canal and dealt in illegal ration cards. They were arrested earlier in 1944 and subsequently released, Dutch records show. The arrests were also mentioned in Anne's diary. A memorial to Anne Frank and sister Margot at the former Bergen-Belsen camp Such arrests were reported to an investigation division based in The Hague and the report says: \"\"During their day-to-day activities, investigators from this department often came across Jews in hiding by chance. \"\""

"text": "It was only natural that I read Barbara Sinatra’s memoir, Lady Blue Eyes, published recently. How could I not? After all, I had spent four years researching and writing a biography of her husband in 1986: His Way: The Unauthorized Biography of Frank Sinatra. My book became number one on the New York Times bestseller list and sold over 1 million copies in hardback, but the subject sued me before I ever wrote a word, saying that he and he alone or someone who he authorized was entitled to write his life story. He dropped his lawsuit after a year, but by then he had effectively put the world on notice that he did not want the book written by someone who was not in his control. Mrs. Sinatra writes in her memoir that Frank despised the press with the sole exception of former TV host Larry King, novelist Pete Hamill, and the late James Bacon, who wrote a Hollywood column for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. No surprise there as each man genuflected to “Ole Blue Eyes.” And there certainly was much to admire in the man — his monumental talent, great showmanship and unparalleled philanthropy. But there was also a dark side, violent and frightening. In researching His Way, I traveled to Hoboken, Manhattan, Hollywood, Las Vegas and Palm Springs to interview Sinatra’s relatives, friends, employees, co-stars, musicians, business associates, directors, producers, and former lovers, most of whom spoke on the record."

One of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust, she gained fame posthumously with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis; English: The Secret Annex ), in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world's most widely known books and has been the basis for several plays and films. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, Netherlands, having moved there with her family at the age of four and a half when the Nazis gained control over Germany. Born a German national, Frank lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, Anne kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly.

After the war, as members of various gangs of outlaws, Jesse and Frank robbed banks, stagecoaches, and trains across the Midwest, gaining national fame and often popular sympathy despite the brutality of their crimes. The James brothers were most active as members of their own gang from about 1866 until 1876, when as a result of their attempted robbery of a bank in Northfield, Minnesota, several members of the gang were captured or killed. They continued in crime for several years afterward, recruiting new members, but came under increasing pressure from law enforcement seeking to bring them to justice. On April 3, 1882, Jesse James was shot and killed by Robert Ford, a new recruit to the gang who hoped to collect a reward on James' head.

They occupied the small space with another Jewish family and a single Jewish man, and were aided by Christian friends, who brought them food and supplies.

One of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust, she gained fame posthumously with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis; English: The Secret Annex ), in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world's most widely known books and has been the basis for several plays and films. Born in Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, Netherlands, having moved there with her family at the age of four and a half when the Nazis gained control over Germany. Born a German national, Frank lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, Anne kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps."

N6Original text Het Achterhuis at Dutch Wikisource The Diary of a Young Girl, also known as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a book of the writings from the Dutch language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944, and Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. The diary was retrieved by Miep Gies, who gave it to Anne's father, Otto Frank, the family's only known survivor, just after the war was over. The diary has since been published in more than 60 languages. First published under the title Het Achterhuis. Dagboekbrieven 14 Juni 1942 – 1 Augustus 1944 ( The Annex: Diary Notes 14 June 1942 – 1 August 1944) by Contact Publishing in Amsterdam in 1947, the diary received widespread critical and popular attention on the appearance of its English language translation Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Doubleday & Company (United States) and Valentine Mitchell (United Kingdom) in 1952. Its popularity inspired the 1955 play The Diary of Anne Frank by the screenwriters Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, which they adapted for the screen for the 1959 movie version."

"text": "\"Anne Frank had been in hiding from the Nazis for 25 months with her family and friends when the Gestapo found them. The house was searched for everything of value. One of the men found Otto Frank’s briefcase, where Anne’s diary was kept. He spilled the contents all over the floor, but Anne said nothing. Everyone appeared incredibly calm, and they stayed silent as the men pushed their only possessions of value out the narrow door. They were allowed to take five minutes to get ready. The eight gathered their belongings, but Anne didn’t take her diary. She left its contents strewn on the floor as she took her last look at her secret home, her life, the only world she had known for almost three years. After the family was arrested, they were all taken to concentration camps. Edith Frank, Anne’s mother, died of starvation in Auschwitz on January 6, 1945, a day before the camp was liberated."
