http://goireland.about.com/od/preparingyourtrip/qt/weather_dublin.htm | Europe Ireland Guide The Irish Weather Be Prepared for Four Seasons in One Day ! By Bernd Biege Updated 08 / 02 / 18 © Bernd Biege 2017 The Irish weather has had some bad press . . . like the rumor that the usual way to tell the difference between winter and summer in Ireland being to measure the temperature of the rain . While it is true that there are no really major temperature differences between the seasons , and that rain is likely every second day , the Irish weather is manageable . That is , if you are prepared for everything it can throw at you , often within the same day . Average Temperatures in Ireland Temperatures will rarely go below 0 ° C ( 32 ° F ) and only occasionally above 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) - with June , July , and August being the warmest months , January and February the coldest . Extremes are not unknown though . The summer of 2006 was the hottest on record for ages . On the other hand , rare freezing spells tend to bring the country to a grinding halt and even a sprinkling of snow will have most drivers panicking Dressing for the Irish Weather The secret of coping with the Irish weather lies in taking the correct clothing with you . You should prepare for moderately mild weather at all time , and be able to supplement basic dress with a warm sweater and / or rainproof top . Even in summer . A hat is always a good idea , an umbrella definitely is n ’ t . It ’ ll blow away , or fold in on itself , at the first taste of a strong Irish breeze . Witness many umbrella corpses littering Dublin streets every rainy ( and windy ) day , especially around bus stops . Obviously , your hat should also fit well , and be somewhat secured . Baseball caps may be cool , but their aerodynamics in a headwind suck . Be careful on sunny days , especially on the beaches : the breeze will cool you , while the sun still burns your skin . And take sensible footwear , most rural attractions ( and even some urban areas ) are best described as " rugged terrain " . Plus … the ground is bound to be wet occasionally . Is There a Best Time to Travel to Ireland ? Now that is a different cattle of fish . . . and the best months to travel to Ireland vary based on opinion . At this point , it should be enough to say that March through to June , and the September and October , rank pretty high . Though even a January in Ireland can be nice , albeit with short and often bitterly cold days . Average Weather in Ireland Through the Year ? It all depends on where you are , really … despite the modest size of the island , there can be major differences between e.g. the west and east coasts , depending on wind direction for instance . So following are samples from around Ireland … The Average Weather at Malin Head Located in County Donegal , this is the most northernmost point of Ireland , and has some wild weather if the winds are high !

http://goldenberg.biology.utah.edu/fun.shtml | Just for Fun Crystal Radios Many years ago one of my sons asked how a radio worked and I suggested that the best way to answer his question was for us to build a crystal radio as I had when I was about his age As it turned out it wasnt quite as easy as I had remembered largely because some of the key components are much harder to find now But we found the parts had a lot of fun and learned some things A couple of years after we built our first radio we learned about a great organization the Xtal Set Society The Society has a web site publishes books and a newsletter with lots of plans and sells many of the hardest to find parts as well as complete kits If you are at all interested in crystal radios be sure to visit the web site and buy some books and parts Here is some of what we learned and plans for the radio we came up with What does this have to do with proteins The truth is that many distinguished protein scientists have had very successful careers without knowing much about crystal radios But there is a bit of a connection NMR spectroscopy which is one of the most powerful modern tools for studying protein molecules uses some of the same technology as radio communication In fact the circuitry of an NMR probe is almost identical to that of the tuning circuit for a radio as described below Now this may not be a sufficient motivation for you to learn about crystal radios especially if you found this web site in the hopes of learning something about proteins In this case you should probably take a look at some of our scientific publications Introduction The distinguishing feature of a crystal radio is that it requires no electric power The sound is generated from the energy of the radio waves themselves without any amplification The audio signal is weak and is only powerful enough to drive earphones but the sound can be wonderfully clear In the early years of the 20 th century crystal sets were the first radios in many homes Even after radios with vacuum tubes and then transistors became widely available and relatively inexpensive building a crystal radio was a very common introduction to electronics for many kids The Crystal As suggested by the name the key component is a crystal Originally the crystal was a mineral called galena When a metal wire is brought into contact with galena a rectifying junction is formed That is electricity flows through the connection with lower resistance in one direction than in the other direction This provides a way of converting the high frequency AM radio signal into the much lower frequency audio signal that is then converted into sound in the earphones Extracting the audio signal from the modulated radio signal is called detection and the crystal with the wire that touches This is not an exact reproduction of an antique detector but it is similar in style and serves the same functions of holding the crystal steady and allowing the cats whisker to be carefully positioned Not every position on the crystal will work and it takes lots of patience to find a good spot and carefully adjust the cats whisker for the best signal Each crystal is different and some work better than others When radios were first installed on ships each operator would often have his own favorite crystals that he would carry with him from one ship to In the 1920s crystal detectors were largely replaced with vacuum tubes which amplified the signal as well as detected it During World War II however the crystal detector was brought back to prominence as a key component in the very high frequency circuits necessary for radar Through a great deal of fundamental research in solidstate physics methods were developed to reliably produce efficient detectors that did not require any of the fiddly adjustment of the original devices Solidstate diodes became essential components of nearly all electronic devices and most crystal sets are now built using readily available germanium diodes like After World War II the diode and the knowledge of solid state physics that was gained in developing it became the basis for the first transistors Transistors in turn led to integrated circuits and integrated circuits of course led to inexpensive computers and all of the other electronic marvels we now take for granted The simple crystal detector is the direct ancestor of modern solidstate electronics The Tuning Circuit The second major requirement for a radio receiver is a means of separating out signals with different frequencies ie tuning in different stations The simplest efficient circuit for this purpose consists of just a coil of wire and a capacitor connected in parallel as shown below using the standard symbols for electronic components Typically the coil for a crystal radio is formed by wrapping a single layer of enamelcoated copper wire over a cardboard or plastic tube a few inches long and an inch or two in diameter The coil has a very important electronic property Although direct current passes through it with low resistance its resistance to a current that rapidly changes direction an alternating current increases as the frequency of the reversals increases The resistance to an alternating current is more properly called impedance The impedance depends on the dimensions of the coil and the frequency of the current As indicated by its schematic symbol a capacitor in its simplest form is composed of two metal plates separated by air or some other nonconducting material This may seem like an odd arrangement for an electronic component since it doesnt look as though electricity could pass through it Indeed direct current cant But an alternating current can The impedance of a capacitor decreases as the frequency increases exactly the opposite of the effect of a coil Now think about what would happen if the circuit was connected to currents of different frequencies At a very low frequency the current will pass readily through the coil but not the capacitor At very high frequencies the current passes through the capacitor but not the coil For a given combination of coil and capacitor there will be a magic frequency at which the impedance of the circuit is a maximum At this frequency electrical charge alternately builds up on the two plates of the capacitor and flows back and forth through the coil The circuit is said to resonate In a radio one side of the tuning circuit is connected to an antenna For maximum efficiency the other side of the circuit is connected to a metal rod or pipe buried in the ground Radio waves are converted into alternating electrical currents in the antenna Signals with frequencies that are higher or lower than the resonant frequency pass through the tuning circuit to the ground If the radio has a means of amplifying the weak signal from the antenna as all modern radios do the ground connection isnt necessary If however there is a signal that matches the resonant Detailed instructions for building a radio based on this circuit can be found below If the radio is to receive signals of more than one frequency there has to be a means of adjusting either the coil or the capacitor An adjustable coil can be made by scraping the enamel insulation off of the wire along a section of the coil running along its length and then arranging a slider that can be moved to contact the coil wire at different points This is the method used in our radio as shown in the picture below There are also adjustable capacitors These usually have two sets of metal plates one of which is mounted on a shaft that is turned to adjust the overlap between the two sets as shown below Capacitors suitable for AM radios arent so easy to find anymore but the Xtal Set Society has found someone to manufacture them and they are available for a quite reasonable price Using one of these you can build a crystal radio without having to make a slider or you can build a set with both components adjustable The latter option makes it possible to cover a wider range of frequencies and can increase the sensitivity of the set Headphones The final critical component of a crystal set is a suitable earphone or pair of headphones This isnt a easy as it might appear The readily available headphones for portable radios tape players CD players etc wont work At all The reason is that these modern headphones are designed to be used with amplifiers and have a low impedance A crystal set requires an earphone with a high impedance to match the other components of the circuit There are two major alternatives The least expensive is a small earphone that uses a piezoelectric crystal to convert the electrical signal into sound Most earphones in stores are not of this type but crystal earphones can be found at some shops that sell electronic parts for hobbyists or ordered from the Xtal Set Society as shown on the left in the picture below This type of earphone is found in most inexpensive crystal radio kits Some seem to work better than others Better results can be obtained using a pair of highimpedance electromagnetic headphones as shown on the right side of the figure above These used to be quite common but like variable capacitors are much less so now But you may be able to find a pair in someones attic or at an ArmyNavy Surplus store I bought the pair shown above at a surplus store in San Diego Suitable headphones will have a DC resistance which you can measure with a simple Ohm meter of about 2000 Ohms With a good set of headphones the sound from a crystal set Plans Here are instructions for building the crystal radio shown above in a pdf Adobe Acrobat file Crystal Radio Instructions These instructions were included in a book entitled Crystal Radio Projects published by the Xtal Set Society The book includes lots of other radio plans most of which are more elaborate than this one | [

http://goldenretrieverrescueofsouthernmaryland.org/2012/how-much-water-does-your-dog-really-need/ | How much water does your dog really need ? by pat Adequate water is to your dog ’ s health . It is essential for life . It helps digest food , carry and absorb nutrients , flush out waste and control body temperature . Next to oxygen , water is the most important nutrient in your dog ’ s body . Dogs can go for days without food . A dog ’ s body can lose all of its fat and up to half of its protein and still survive . But when a dog loses just 10 percent of his body ’ s water , bodily functions shut down causing serious illness . A 15 percent loss of water will kill him . So how much water does your dog need ? It depends on his stress level , how active he is , his size , his age , his health and the kind of food he eats . Even the weather can be a factor . There is no steadfast rule . In general , animals should take in two and a half times more water than food . Another useful guideline for dogs weighing 20 pounds or less is that they need about 1 cup ( 8 ounces ) of water for every 5 pounds of body weight . So , a healthy 15 - pound dog would need 3 cups of water a day . Dogs do n ’ t have to DRINK their daily fill of water . They also get water from the food they eat . Wet food has a lot more water than kibbles or dry food . Snacks like apples are also a great source of water . When fresh , clean water is available a dog will generally drink all he needs to survive . The fresher the water , the more appealing it will be to your dog . As a general rule , change the water in your dog ’ s bowl at least 3 times a day . Make sure your dog ’ s bowl is clean . If you would n ’ t drink from it , chances are he wo n ’ t want to drink from it either . You need to wash your dog ’ s water bowl every day and disinfect it regularly to control bacteria . The better the water tastes , the more likely your dog is to drink it . Try using bottled or filtered water . Dogs also prefer cool water . That ’ s why a pet fountain is a great way to help your dog drink more . It filters the impurities so the water tastes better ; and the constant motion keeps the water cool , just the way your dog likes it . 2 comments 1 rumorasit { 10.10.13 at 5 : 06 am } Dogs drink from toilets , mud puddles and a host of other places where water collects . And you ’ re saying they need to have their water bowls * cleaned * 3 times a day ? I ’ ve seen dogs pass up a water bowl for a toilet or a creek , or a flower pot or any other container that has water in it . When did they evolve to become picky drinkers ? 2 Joey Coulthard { 03.18.16 at 3 : 27 am } I love my dogs . They are like family to me . Yes , I would say very spoiled even . I have 2 Golden Retrievers . I do n ’ t know that the bowl needs to be sanitized 3 times a day but I do like to see the clean and for them to always have as much as they want available to them .

http://golf.about.com/cs/beginnersguide/a/bfaq_keepscore.htm | Arts , Music , and Recreation Sports How Do Golf Scores Work ? For the Beginners FAQ : Keeping Score in Golf by Brent Kelley Updated June 28 , 2018 Scoring in golf is sometimes a mystery to those unfamiliar with the sport because in golf - unlike most other sports and games - it ' s the person with the lowest score who wins . The object on each hole of the golf course is to get your golf ball into that hole on the green with as few swings as possible . The Simple Basic of Golf Scoring : Count Every Swing Really , basic scorekeeping in golf is very simple : Every time you swing at the golf ball with the intention of hitting it , that ' s a stroke . Every time you make a stroke , count it . At the end of each hole - after you ' ve rolled the ball into the cup - tally the strokes you used on that hole . And that ' s your score for the hole . Did it take you 6 swings on the first hole to put the ball in the hole ? Then your score on that hole is 6 . If you then make a 4 on Hole 2 , your score after two holes is 10 . And so on , continuing until the end of play . You write each of these scores on the scorecard , in the row or column where each hole is listed . Once you ' re finished with the golf course ( or it ' s finished with you ! ) , add all of those individual hole scores together . That is your total score for the round . There are some other circumstances - for instance , every beginner ( every golfer of every level ) will have to add penalty strokes here and there . At least , if you ' re playing strictly by the rules . But most simply put , a golf score is the number of times you whacked that little ball around the course . Scoring In Relation to Par When you hear a golf score given as " 2 - under par " or " 4 - over , " it ' s an example of scoring in relation to par or r elative to par Par " is the number of strokes an expert golfer is expected to need to play a hole or to play the golf course as a whole . Every hole on the course has a par rating . If Hole No . 1 has a par of 4 , and you score 6 , then you are 2 - over par ( six is two more than four ) . If Hole No . 2 is a par - 5 , and you score 4 , you are 1 - under par . If you make 4 on a hole that The same applies to a golfer ' s total score for the full round of golf . If the golf course ' s par is 72 and you shoot 98 , you are 26 - over par for the round . There is a whole lexicon in golf for scores in relation to par ; for example , 1 - under on a hole is called a " birdie " and 1 - over is called a " bogey . " You ' ll pick up the lingo as you go . Different Golf Scoring Formats There are three main formats used for keeping score when playing golf against buddies or opponents ( listed in order of commonness ) : Stroke play : Stroke play is what we ' ve been describing - count each stroke , write down the number of strokes used on each hole , tally it up . Low strokes wins . Match play : Again , count the number of strokes on each hole . But then compare that to your opponent ' s result , and keep track of which of you wins each hole . If you make a 4 on Hole 1 and your opponent makes a 5 , you win that hole . The winner of the overall match is the one who wins the most holes . Stableford system : In Stableford scoring , your score in relation to par is converted into points , and it ' s the number of total points ( rather than total strokes ) that determines the winner .

http://golf.about.com/cs/beginnersguide/a/golftipping.htm | Arts , Music , and Recreation Sports Tips About Tipping at Golf Courses Guidelines for golf gratuities : when , who , how much by Brent Kelley Updated March 17 , 2017 Something all veteran golfers know and all beginning golfers learn soon enough is that tipping ( as in a gratuity ) is sometimes expected - and sometimes required - at higher - end golf courses . ( Do n ' t worry - if you are anti - gratuity you ' ll easily be able to avoid them by only playing courses where they are n ' t expected . ) What many golfers are n ' t sure of , however , is the appropriate amount to tip . But first , a couple generalities about golf gratuities : Like all tipping , quality of service has much to do with the amount of the gratuity you offer at a golf course . If you ' ve received great service , a larger tip is appropriate . The green fee of a course influences your tipping . You should expect to tip more , for example , at a $ 100 - per - round course than at a $ 25 - per - round course . Of course , not everyone tips , even when they should . Some golfers will sprint from their cars to the clubhouse to avoid the " cart jockeys " who greet golfers and take their golf bags . Or park in a far corner of the parking lot , hoping to avoid being seen . Some golfers , following the completion of a round , park their cart far away from the cart return area to avoid another tip . Not that we ' re , ahem , admitting to ever having done this ourselves . . . At Many ( In Some Places Most or All ) Courses , Gratuities are Not Necessary Not all golf courses require tips . Some even forbid it . Generally speaking , tipping is uncommon or not allowed in many parts of the world , but offering a gratuity is very common in the United States . Therefore , it ' s a good idea if planning a stay at a resort or a visit to a swanky club to call ahead and ask . And there are plenty of golf courses where tipping is n ' t expected . For example : Tipping is unusual at municipal courses . Most municipal courses and many daily - fee courses do not require or expect their employees to be tipped . If the course you ' re playing does not have a strict dress code , you probably wo n ' t have to tip . The higher the green fee , the more likely gratuities are expected to be offered by golfers to staff . If a golf course is part of a resort or private club , the more like gratuities are expected . If Tipping Is Expected , Who Gets Tipped , and How Much ? Now we turn to dollar - amount guidelines for golf course gratuities . Keep in mind that of all the golf course staff members listed below as potentially requiring a tip , the odds of your having to tip them all in one place , during one round of golf , are very slim . If you are visiting a course where all of these staff members work , you will already be planning to spend a large amount of money . More likely , the bag drop attendee and cart return staff are the only folks you ' ll have to tip at a typical golf course , outside of food and drink . Valet Parking Valet parking is fairly uncommon at golf courses , but some high - end courses and resorts do offer it . Tip the same as you do at a restaurant or hotel for such a service ; if you ' ve never used such a service and do n ' t have a set amount you tip , then $ 3 is a good baseline amount . Bag Drop The golf course equivalent of the airport skycap or hotel bellhop . Bag drop attendees take your clubs from your car and place them on the golf cart at the time of your arrival . Standard tip is $ 2 - $ 3 per bag , maybe $ 5 if you want to make sure they assist you after the round . Starter Tips for the starter are n ' t necessary unless the starter is doing something special for you . Most starters simply check you in at the first tee , maybe announce that it is your turn to tee off . There really is no service involved . . . unless you show up without a tee time and the starter quickly fits you in . Or , if you ' re staying at a resort for several days , you can check with the starter upon arrival to see about preferred tee times throughout your stay . Such a service from a starter requires a good tip . A group of four golfers might tip a starter $ 50 - $ 100 for such help . But again , if you already have a tee time and no special service is performed , then no tip is required for the starter . Cart Return The guys ( or gals ) who take your clubs off your cart following the round , clean out the cart to return it to the cart garage . They might also clean your clubs , and should drive you and your clubs to your car . A couple bucks for each ; $ 5 if your clubs are cleaned . Caddies If caddies are being used , then you ' re at a fancy place and already expecting to spend a lot of money . Tip a caddie 50 percent of the caddie fee . If there ' s a caddie master - the person who assigns caddies to golfers or groups - you can ensure getting a good caddie by tipping the caddie master 20 percent of the caddie fee . Forecaddies A forecaddie does n ' t carry anyone ' s golf bag . One forecaddie will be assigned to a group of four . His job is to move ahead of the group to keep track of everyone ' s shots , and to direct players around the course . A forecaddie should get one tip from the group , $ 50 - $ 100 total . Food and Drink If buying food or drink at a snack bar , look for a tip jar on the counter . Stuff a buck in , or drop in your change . If ordering from a clubhouse restaurant , tip as you would in a typical restaurant . Beverage Cart The beverage cart is stocked with snacks and drinks and driven around the golf course throughout the day , allowing golfers to purchase food and drink while on the course . A $ 1 tip for a $ 3 purchase is typical . Remember , these are just guidelines . Adjust your tipping to the circumstances . And the best bet when visiting a golf resort or high - end golf club is to call ahead and ask about the policy on gratuities . Do n ' t Let All These Money Figures Scare You Important : Do n ' t be scared off from playing golf by all the money discussed above . The odds of a golfer ever having to chip - in all the gratuities mentioned above are very slim . And , as noted at the beginning , at most courses you wo n ' t have to tip at all .

http://golf.about.com/cs/golfinstructors/bb/bybgolflessons.htm | Arts , Music , and Recreation Sports Should Beginner Golfers Take Lessons ? Plus 6 things to consider before buying golf lessons by Brent Kelley Updated April 16 , 2018 You ' re a beginning golfer , but you ' re really not sure if you want to go through the time , effort and expense of taking golf lessons . Should you take lessons ? Absolutely , positively , yes . Yes , yes , yes ! Do you have to take golf lessons ? Of course not . Can you pick up golf and improve on your own ? Yes , and that is the route that many golfers take . Look Into Golf Lessons But beginners should always look into lessons . You ' ll simply pick up the game much more quickly . Golf is not easy to master , and if you want to get good at it , you ' ll show improvement much more quickly if you are taught the correct way to play from the get - go . And if you are spending money on golf as you get into the game - buying new clubs , nice clothes , paying green fees - then spending a little bit more on lessons is a good idea . ( Not to minimize the costs involved - golf can be an expensive hobby . ) Learn Easier , Improve Faster - But Lessons Do Cost Individual lessons usually range from 30 minutes to an hour , with prices varying widely based on the teacher ' s qualifications and the golf facility at which he or she works . A typical price range might be from $ 25 per session to more than $ 100 per session . Discounts are frequently available for people who sign up for a package of lessons ( say , a series of six ) . ( Read how one top instructor structures his golf lessons to get an idea of what ' s involved . ) There ' s another option that ' s even cheaper . Check with any local colleges . Many community colleges and universities offer continuing education courses , and golf is a popular course in such programs . Many school districts also offer continuing or adult education programs , and taking golf lessons through this method can reduce your costs considerably . The instruction is n ' t one - on - one and wo n ' t be as rewarding , but it ' s a good option for those on tighter budgets . 6 Considerations Before Buying Golf Lessons Know Your Price Limit Generally , the more expensive instructors are those who have more experience , more accolades and who are attached to a more upscale golf facility . ( If the green fees are expensive , then that club ' s golf instructors probably will be , too . ) But there are lots of teaching pros out there who are less expensive but still very good ( or even better ) . Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start shopping , and stick to it . Make Sure Your Goals and Commitment Match A golf instructor can do wonders with your game , but he ca n ' t do it alone . To make golf lessons worthwhile , you must be able to follow up on them by continuing to work on the instructor ' s suggestions on your own time . The higher your goals , the more work will be required . Be realistic in your goals and make sure you can offer the commitment necessary to meet those goals . Private Lessons vs . Golf Schools Private lessons and golf schools are the two typical ways to receive golf instruction . Both have strengths . Private lessons allow for follow - up visits over a period of time - a building block approach to learning golf . Schools offer an intensive amount of learning in a short time , but can also offer too much information and without much follow - up . On the other hand , private lessons can take months to complete . Ask Around Every golf instructor ' s best advertising is his or her past students . To get an idea of the best teachers in your area , ask as many golfers as you know . It ' s likely that a handful of names will come up frequently , and that list can be your starting point . You may find someone who has taken lessons and can give a glowing recommendation on a particular instructor - or a warning . Interview the Candidates Yes , you really can interview golf instructors before you commit to lessons . Remember - it ' s your business they want and need . Ask your candidates about their teaching background and experience . Do they use video ? Do lessons include on - course teaching ? What is their teaching philosophy ? This process should give you a good idea of how your personality will match up with theirs , too . Making the Choice After these steps , you should be ready to make your choice . It ' s important that you choose an instructor whose personality meshes with yours . Going to a teacher you do n ' t like will keep you from learning . It ' s important that an instructor ' s goals match yours , and that your commitment matches your goals . Once you ' ve made your choice , throw yourself into it - and watch your scores improve . Taking lessons simply makes learning the game much easier , and improvement in your play takes place much quicker . Which will increase your enjoyment . Not to mention the safety of those around you on the golf course Continue Reading | [

http://golf.about.com/od/beginners/f/handicapscoreca.htm | Arts , Music , and Recreation Sports What Do the Numbers on the ‘ Handicap ’ Row of the Scorecard Represent ? by Brent Kelley Updated July 12 , 2018 Most golf scorecards contain several rows of information . For example , a scorecard will always have the " Hole " row , the numbers 1 through 18 corresponding to the holes being played . Beneath that will likely be at least three more rows ( let ' s say , for example , " Red , " " White , " and " Blue ; " or " Forward , " " Middle , " and " Back " ) that identify the tees being played and the yardages for each hole on the course . There is usually also a line identified as " Handicap , " or " HCP , " a row of numbers that appear to be in random order . What do those numbers mean ? How are they used by the golfer ? The incomplete answer is that the Handicap row is a ranking of the holes of the golf course in order of difficulty , from the most difficult ( 1 ) to the least ( 18 ) . But the complete answer is a more nuanced than that . So let ' s explore . The Handicap Line Is Used with Your Course Handicap The " Handicap " line of the scorecard rates the holes for use by golfers who carry a handicap index . The handicap index is used to produce a course handicap , and the course handicap tells golfers how many strokes they get to take off their gross scores to produce a net score Remember , the purpose of the handicap system is to allow golfers of different playing abilities to play fair matches against one another . If I have a handicap of 27 and you have a handicap of 4 , you ' ll beat me every time if we are using our gross ( actual ) scores . The handicap system produces a net score by allowing the weaker player to reduce his score — to " take a stroke " as it ' s called — on designated holes . The " Handicap " line of the scorecard is how those holes are designated . The hole identified as " 1 " on the handicap line has been rated the hole where a golfer is most likely to need a stroke in competition against a better player . The hole identified as " 2 " on the handicap line is the second - most likely hole where a stroke will be needed , and so on . Consult Handicap Line When Taking Strokes The number of strokes you are getting is compared to the handicap line . If you get 4 strokes , then you find the four highest - rated ( 1 being highest , 18 being lowest ) holes on the handicap line , and take one stroke on each of those four holes . ( Remember , by " taking a stroke " we mean that you get to reduce your score on that hole by one stroke . ) If you get to take 11 strokes , then you find the 11 highest - rated holes on the handicap line , and take one stroke on each of those holes . If you get to take 18 strokes , then you get one stroke on every hole . What If Your Course Handicap Is Higher than the Number of Holes ? What if your course handicap is higher than 18 ? Then you get to take two strokes on some ( possibly all , depending on how high your course handicap is ) holes , one on other holes . Let ' s say you get to take 22 strokes . Obviously , you ' ll get at least one stroke on each of the 18 holes on the course ; but you ' ll also get a second stroke on the four highest - rated holes on the handicap line of the scorecard . So on the holes designated 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 on the handicap line , you ' ll take 2 strokes each ; on the other holes , you ' ll take 1 stroke each . And if you get to take 36 strokes , you ' ll take 2 strokes per hole . And that ' s how the " Handicap " line of the scorecard is used . Applying Course Handicap to the Handicap Line on Scorecard Now , how do you know how many total strokes you get to take in order to make use of the handicap line ? That ' s simply a function of course handicap . If your course handicap is 18 and you ' re playing just to post a score for handicap purposes ( you ' re not playing against someone in a match , in other words ) , then 18 is how many strokes you get to take . If you are playing against someone in a match , then the golfers play off the low handicap of the group . For example , let ' s say there are three golfers in the group ; one is a 10 handicapper , one is a 15 , one is a 20 . The 10 - handicapper will play at scratch ( no strokes ) , the 15 - handicapper will get 5 strokes ( 15 minus 10 ) and the 20 handicapper will get 10 strokes ( 20 minus 10 ) . It may sound complicated now , but once you ' ve used course handicaps one or two times , it will seem as simple as can be . Alternate Designations : The Handicap row on the scorecard might be designated as " HCP " or " HDCP , " and you might see two handicap rows if a golf course has rated its holes for both men and women . In areas not using the USGA Handicap System , the Handicap row might have another name — such as " Index " under the CONGU system in the UK . But so long as your part of the world uses some kind of handicapping system , the equivalent of a Handicap row should appear on your scorecard . Continue Reading | [

http://golf.about.com/od/progolftours/p/fedex_cup.htm | Arts , Music , and Recreation Sports FedEx Cup Points Series on the PGA Tour by Brent Kelley Updated October 01 , 2018 The FedEx Cup points series was introduced to the PGA Tour beginning with the 2007 season . It is a seasonlong points chase in which golfers accrue points over the course of the year . The top point - getters at the end of the FedEx Cup series schedule advance into the FedEx Cup Playoffs and win bonus prizes from a large cash purse . Beginning with the 2013 season , the FedEx Cup points list also replaced the PGA Tour money list for determining which golfers keep their fully exempt status for the following year . FedEx Cup Basics The basic structure of the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour is pretty simple : Each week golfers earn points for their finish in PGA Tour events ; those points add up . At the end of the " regular season , " the Top 125 on the points list move on to the " playoffs . " The playoffs are a series of three tournaments culminating in the Tour Championship , after which the FedEx Cup points champion is crowned and awarded $ 10 million from a $ 35 million prize pool . The other important things to note are that point values are quadrupled in the first two playoff events . At the Tour Championship season - ender , the points are converted into a starting score in relation to par and the Tour Championship winner also wins the FedEx Cup championship . Fed Ex Cup Regular Season The " regular season " of the FedEx Cup series stretches from Week 1 of the PGA Tour schedule to the Wyndham Championship in early August . The majors — The Masters U.S. Open British Open , and PGA Championship — are part of the regular season , as are the World Golf Championships events that occur between Week 1 and the Wyndham . These " regular season " tournaments each offer a set amount of points , which golfers accrue . At the conclusion of the FedEx Cup regular season , those golfers with enough points advance into the playoffs . FedEx Cup Playoffs At the conclusion of the FedEx Cup regular season , the Top 125 golfers on the points list advance into the playoffs , a series of three tournaments ( the playoffs were reduced from tournaments to three beginning in 2019 ) culminating in the Tour Championship . After each week of the playoffs , the fields are cut , until only 30 golfers move on to the final event . The three playoff tournaments are : The Northern Trust ( 125 golfers in the field ) BMW Championship ( 70 golfers in the field ) Tour Championship ( 30 golfers in the field ) The cuts in the field each week of the playoffs are determined by ranking on the FedEx Cup points list . For example , following Week 1 of the playoffs , only the Top 70 on the points list advance to the BMW Championship . Point values available in the first two playoffs are quadruple those available in regular - season tournaments . ( For example , if finishing in X place was worth 300 points in the regular season , it will earn 1,200 points in the playoffs ) . Prior to the series - ending Tour Championship , the points are converted into a starting score ranging from 10 - under to even - par . The FedEx Cup leader begins the Tour Championship at 10 - under , in other words , while the golfer in 30th place in the point standings begins at even par . The PGA Tour explains : " The FedExCup points leader after the first two Playoffs events will begin the Tour Championship at 10 - under par . The next four players will start at 8 - under through 5 - under , respectively . The next five will begin at 4 - under , regressing by one stroke per five players until those ranked Nos . 26 - 30 start at even par . " The golfer , therefore , who wins the Tour Championship is also the winner of the FedEx Cup . This change was instituted prior to the 2018 - 19 season and removes the possibility of the Tour Championship winner and FedEx Cup winner being two different golfers . FedEx Cup Winners Golfers to win the FedEx Cup championship are : 2018 - Justin Rose 2017 - Justin Thomas 2016 - Rory McIlroy 2015 - Jordan Spieth 2014 - Billy Horschel 2013 - Henrik Stenson 2012 - Brandt Snedeker 2011 - Bill Haas 2010 - Jim Furyk 2009 - Tiger Woods 2008 - Vijay Singh 2007 - Tiger Woods FedEx Cup Points and PGA Tour Eligibility Golfers finishing Nos . 1 - 125 on the FedEx Cup points list advance into the playoffs . But what about those PGA Tour members outside the Top 125 ? Golfers finishing Nos . 126 - 200 on the points list become eligible for the Web . com Tour Finals , which combines the Top 75 from the Web . com Tour money list with those golfers who failed to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs . Those 150 golfers compete over four tournaments , at the end of which the top money earners receive PGA Tour exemption status for the following season . The Top 25 on the Web . com money list are guaranteed PGA Tour cards going into the finals , however , and only another 25 golfers come out of the Web . com Tour Finals with PGA Tour status . Moral of that story : Do n ' t finish outside the Top 125 on the FedEx Cup points list .

http://golfshane.blogspot.com/2012/01/right-leg-too-straight-in-backswing.html | Golf floG Blog Monday , January 30 , 2012 Right Leg : Too Straight in the Backswing ? A swing mistake that has caused me grief ( left over from my S&T days ) is straightening my right leg too much on the backswing . I had an outing once in Panama City , FL where I focused on keeping the right knee bend established at address into the backswing , and I had very good results throughout the round - - fewer mishits and even more distance . As with anything in golf , inattention to one part of the swing can allow old habits to return . Note Palmer ' s Right Knee and Level Hips I never completely straighten it now , but I occasionally ( unconsciously ) do it enough that it is changing the angle of my pelvis , which tilts the body left and causes a slight , unintentional reverse weight shift to the left . This requires a compensation on the way down which can lead to toe shots and other mishits . Obviously , straightening the right leg is desirable in S&T but not in a conventional swing . To fight this , I like to feel like I ' m sitting down ( into my right hip ) when I turn ( see Paul Wilson ' s video below ) ; in a way , it feels like I ' m bending the knee more , when I ' m actually just maintaining very close to the same bend I had at address ( because I ' ve been used to straightening it excessively ) . When performed correctly , the right hip moves straight back ( not up or to the right ) and feels very loaded and the pelvis feels very level - - just turning , not tilting . The lower body feels very coiled , ready to unwind in its own flat plane , and capable of producing tremendous torque once you let it go . You will find no end of material on the internet that addresses this subject : keeping the bend in that right knee all the way through is important . Properly executed , you can feel an unmanufactured , correct weight shift forward into the ball , where the weight goes from inside the right foot , first into the left big toe , and then around the outside of the left foot and into the left heel , just as many great golf instructors ( like Hank Haney and David Leadbetter ) teach . This is one of those areas of golf instruction where there is debate among reputable teachers and professionals ; new , popular swing methods require a straight or straighter right leg on the backswing . Examples of old golfing experts like Bobby Jones completely straightening the right leg on the backswing are used as proof for the validity of straightening the right leg . However , watching the video of Jones from behind , you ' ll notice that he regains the original address flex of his right leg during the downswing , well before impact . Many amateurs like One avoids having to regain the right knee flex of the address position if one simply keeps the original bend - - or close to it - - in the right knee into the backswing ; it is eliminating the need for a compensation . There are , of course , a few words of caution . First , be wary of swaying . The right hip can feel loaded but still exhibit a sway , where the right hip moves rightward ( away from the target ) of its address position ; if the right hip sways , the left shoulder will often tip towards the target . The right hip should move backwards while staying close to the same level during the backswing , never towards , over , or outside the right foot . The correct address position should form a " reverse K , " meaning the right leg should be slanted away from the target at an angle that makes the entire address position A simple check : After address , place the club down the middle of your chest mimicking the spine without moving . If you are in the proper Reverse K position , the handle of the club will touch the inside of your left thigh . The position of the sternum should be behind the pelvis at address and all points during a standard full swing . The right leg should really never move from this angle from the front - on view during the backswing ; the right hip moves back ONLY ( not up , down , or sideways ) . From the golfer ' s perspective , just focus on keeping the right hip inside the instep of the right foot at all times . The right leg braces against a firm left side , as Shawn Clement teaches . Your right leg , from your perspective looking down , should be angled outward to the right or away from the target - - it should n ' t lose that angle while the right knee stays bent in the backswing . Next , watch out for the tendency of the head to drop too much The head SHOULD drop some on the backswing when correctly loading into the right leg ; according to Jim McClean ( video below ) , 70 % of tour players drop their heads in the backswing some . Some professionals have so much lag that they drop even more on the downswing . Too much of a drop can happen if you ' re overzealous with focusing on keeping the bend of the right knee . You may unintentionally bend it more and drop the upper body too much into the right hip . This squat feeling definitely loads for power and torque but increases the chances of hitting fat behind the ball without enough compensatory action in the downswing . Be especially careful when hitting the driver ; it ' s better to keep a very steady and somewhat level head when using longer clubs . Will the If you rotate properly into your right hip , your hips should remain level , allowing you to make a downswing that is on plane , and compresses the golf ball . If you ’ re like me , you may slide off the ball during the takeaway , then your right hip gets higher than your left at the top of your swing , causing you to come up , and back out of the shot to even make contact with the ball . If you hit thin shots , off the toe , you may be making this mistake . [ From Correct Hip Movement In The Golf Swing Although a full shoulder turn is vital to a powerful golf swing , be sure not to compromise one key fundamental : right knee flex ( for right - handed golfers ) . The role of the right knee in the backswing is very simple , but incredibly important . The importance of the flex in the right knee is undeniable . The flex in the right knee helps keep the hips more level in the backswing . If the right knee straightens , it pushes the right hip up and consequently the left hip down resulting in too much left - hip tilt in the backswing . * * * Another key reason to keep the right knee flexed is how it is used in your transition into your downswing . Your right knee is a key source of driving power of your lower body in the downswing . It ' s very difficult to drive off a straightened right leg in the transition . Therefore , the upper body tends to dominate the downswing resulting in poor swing plane and loss of power . [ From Looking for a way to make your golf swing more repeatable ? Remember knee flex There are many important facets to a good golf swing , but maintaining the bend in the right knee is one that simply ca n ’ t be overlooked . When a student comes to me with a common complaint ( slicing , poor ballstriking or a general lack of consistency ) , I always take a close look at his or her body angles , and make certain that their posture and knee position are constant throughout the swing . Golf Tips - Maintain The Bend Here is another great swing thought - and one that is inter - related with that idea of turning the Right Pocket Back Maintaining a level belt line as you turn your shoulders and upper body allows your weight to go fully on o the right heel , which gives you more time to fully wind and unwind your swing for maximum clubhead speed . There ' s nothing worse than seeing a golfer with a short , quick swing which chops down on the ball . And the last thing you want is a tilted belt line , like this above , where the right hip / right pocket is very high and the weight hangs on the left side . What the pros do - Robert Baker Other tips to increase power in your golf swing : Flex the back knee during the backswing : Keeping your back knee flexed during the backswing does two things . First , it restricts your hip turn so you can coil your upper body ( the upper body continues to turn against your hips ) , this builds energy in the backswing . Next , it allows you to drive your weight off your back foot during the down swing so you can release the club head through the impact area . Golf tip : Remember , in your backswing , width equals power - GolfInstruction . com If you ’ ve been struggling with consistency , and you find yourself hitting thin , fat , and even topped golf shots , I want you to pay attention to what your right knee is doing in your backswing . Many times a golfer will either straighten the right knee in the backswing , or let it move to the side ( away from the target ) , which results in a sway off the ball . This may seem like a minor issued in your swing , but let me tell you from firsthand experience , it WILL The Role Of The Right Knee In Your Backswing If and when the right knee flex is lost , as is the case with so many amateur swings , weight is thrown from the right side back to the left ( reverse pivot ) . That ’ s a big no - no . Second , straightening the knee moves the backswing plane to the inside , which can lead to all kinds of downswing misery . Third , losing the right knee flex gives your lower body too much room to turn , in addition to allowing it to sway away from the ball on the backswing . The Key Ingredient | GolfTipsMag . com All - time golf great Jack Nicklaus believes a player ’ s knee action is important to a proper backswing . As you take the club back the front knee should move forward and to the right ( for a right - handed player ) to allow your hips to rotate properly . At the same time , the back knee should remain stiff to brace the right leg and prevent your body from sliding to the right . When your back leg remains firm during the backswing , " the body is coiling like a spring around the knee Coiling In the Backswing | Golfsmith The key to achieving this effortless backswing is keeping the spine angle you establish at address a constant . The spine angle and right - knee bend are closely related , and it ’ s necessary to maintain both angles for a solid golf swing . Maintain The Bend | GolfTipsMag . com The way you will know that you start the backswing properly in the lower body is that there will be tension in between your right thigh and right hip flexor . Golf Lessons 101 : Knee Action Basics | Golf Lessons 101 Recently , I was working with a student ( we will call him Allen ) on this very move and I noticed that his rear leg was straightening in his backswing . I have seen this before in golfers and this error can cause a number of swing errors like reverse pivoting , or can cause you to top the ball or hit it thin . Often I will try to create a swing error with my own body to help me to feel what the student is feeling which allows me to explain why a particular problem is occurring The Right Knee and my Upcoming Article | Guru ' s Golf Blog Most players never load their butt muscles during the swing properly . In fact , many golfers straighten or lock the right knee completely before they even finish their backswing . If you straighten up during this phase , it causes an " over the top " move so common to amateurs and saps all the power from the trunk or core muscles . Ideally , you should maintain a slight knee flex at the top of your golf swing or think of maintaining the same knee flex that you started with at the address posture . This should feel Unlock Your Power Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video .

http://golftips.golfweek.com/average-salary-men-pro-golfers-20330.html | Home Playing Golf Golf Careers The Average Salary of Men Pro Golfers By M.L. Rose Great Britain ' s Luke Donald earned more money on the golf course than any other pro in 2011 . A golf professional ' s earnings cover a very wide spectrum , based on the golfer ’ s ability , whether he plays on a pro tour and whether he endorses any products . Even at the top level , a golf pro ’ s earnings are n ’ t necessarily stable or long - lived . If a PGA Tour player is injured or has an off - year and loses his Tour card , his income will likely fall precipitously the following year . Club pros generally enjoy more stable , though much lower , annual incomes . U.S. Pro Major Tours Money earned on the PGA Tour varies from year to year and from golfer to golfer . In 2011 , a total of 261 golfers earned money on the Tour , ranging from Jose Maria Olazabal ( $ 6,330 ) to Luke Donald ( $ 6,683,214 ) . The player at the midpoint of the money list – Angel Cabrera at No . 131 – won $ 628,079 . On the Nationwide Tour , a developmental circuit one step down from the PGA Tour , 305 players won money in 2011 , led by J.J. Killeen ’ s $ 414,273 Non - U.S. Pro Tours The most lucrative pro tour outside of the U.S. is the European Tour , although many American players participate on the circuit . Donald was also first among 325 European Tour money - winners in 2011 , earning 5,323,400 euros ( approximately $ 6.9 million ) . Jack Doherty was at the bottom of the list at 891 euros ( about $ 1,156 ) , while No . 163 Steve Benson was at the midpoint with 116,924 euros ( about $ 151,746 ) . Juvic Pagunsan led 151 players on the 2011 Asian Tour money list , earning $ 788,298 Mini - Tours Several developmental pro tours are based in the U.S. , commonly referred to as “ mini - tours . ” Two of the most prominent are the National Golf Association ( NGA ) Pro Golf Tour and the eGolf Professional Tour . Brandon Brown led 349 NGA money - winners in 2011 , earning $ 150,864 , while Austin Bowen was last at $ 600 . Justin Ahasic was at the midpoint , ranking 175th with $ 5,027 . Corey Nagy topped the eGolf Tour money list in 2011 , earning $ 89,607 , and Karim El Hali was last Off - Course Earnings Some top golf pros earn much more money off the course than they do playing . For example , a " Sport Illustrated " list of the highest - earning American athletes in 2011 was led by two golf pros . Tiger Woods earned almost $ 63.3 million on the year , $ 60 million of which came from endorsements , according to the magazine ’ s calculations . Phil Mickelson earned almost $ 61.2 million in 2011 , including $ 57 million off the course . Woods and Mickelson also topped the " Golf Digest " list of golf Club Pros Club professionals may win some money in local or regional tournaments they play in , but they earn most of their income from regular paychecks , often supplemented by lesson fees and pro shop revenue . According to the PGA of America ' s compensation survey for 2010 , PGA head pros made a median of $ 68,600 , with the range from $ 40,000 to $ 140,000 . Assistant pros who are full PGA members made a median of $ 37,000 , ranging from $ 22,000 to $ 59,000 . In contrast , assistants who are apprentices made a Volume 0 % From the Web Chicago , Illinois : Unbelievable Algorithm Is Disrupting a $ 200 Billion Industry EverQuote Constant Fatigue is a Warning Sign - See the Simple Fix Gundry MD Chinese Secret for Keeping Blood Sugar in Control Revealed ( Watch Video ) Health Hacks Do This Immediately if You Have Diabetes ( Watch Video ) Health Hacks These Luxury Senior Apartments Are More Affordable Than You Think Senior Apartment Living - Ads Think Dental Implants Are Expensive ?

http://goliards.us/adelphi/deficits/index.html | U.S. Federal Deficits , Presidents , and Congress Stephen Bloch Last update : Apr . 6 , 2019 Numbers for March 29 , 2019 Some time in early 2004 , I ran across a Web site maintained by the Department of the Treasury , listing the U.S. National Debt year by year since 1791 . The numbers by themselves are too big to be meaningful , so I put them into a spreadsheet to see if I could extract any interesting trends and patterns over time . When talking about a politically - charged issue like Federal budget deficits , it ' s hard to avoid being accused of shilling for one political faction or another , but I ' ve tried to keep things rigorously objective , minimizing the judgment calls I needed to make lest my own political leanings bias the results . Over the years , I ' ve gotten criticism from both left - wingers and right - wingers about this page , so I think I ' ve been at least somewhat successful . Assuming you mostly want to see the results , I ' ll get straight to them , but I recommend that you read the data sources , judgment calls and procedures I used to produce these tables . Table 1 : Deficit by year , corrected for inflation These are the data from which all of the following tables are drawn , organized by year so you can draw your own conclusions about Presidents , Congresses , tax rates , etc . The inflation - adjusted debt ( seventh ) column is simply the public debt expressed in 1983 dollars . The deficit ( eighth ) column is the difference between one year ' s inflation - adjusted debt and the previous year ' s ( annualized in years that for various reasons were longer or shorter than 12 months ) . I display this both as a number and as a bar - graph .

2009 , in the trough of the recession and the peak of TARP and stimulus spending intended to end that recession . Deficits decreased rapidly for the next two years as TARP loans were repaid and temporary stimulus ended , and have alternately grown and shrunk since then . Graph : Real Debt , 1911 - present The following graph shows the " real " ( inflation - adjusted ) national debt over the past century . This measures " how much consumer goods would it take to pay off the debt ? " A “ sustainable ” budget is one in which it does n ' t get harder to pay off the debt - - in other words , inflation - adjusted deficits and surpluses balance one another over a number of years . Sometimes ( e.g . 1998 - 2001 and 1978 - 1981 ) , the national debt grows in nominal dollars , but actually becomes easier to pay off because inflation has made those dollars " smaller " . I ' ve put the graph on a log scale , so ( for example ) a 10 % growth in 1941 would look the same as a 10 % growth in 1915 . ( The vertical scale is labelled in 1983 dollars ; if we used a different base year , the graph would look exactly the same except for the numbers on the vertical Note the spikes for World Wars I and II , the upward slope for the Great Depression , and the remarkable flat line from 1946 to 1981 , during which time real national debt varied by less than 25 % . In other words , the Federal government had a “ sustainable ” debt for 35 years , as years of slight surplus almost exactly balanced years of slight deficit . But in the 38 years since 1981 , the real debt has grown by a factor of almost eight , shrinking in only three of those years . Analyses by President I then grouped the data by Presidential administration . As mentioned above , I consider the fiscal year spanning a Presidential election and inauguration to be part of the outgoing administration . This is usually a fair assumption , because most government programs take a while to start , and last for multiple years . Fiscal 2008 - 2009 is perhaps an exception : both the outgoing and incoming Presidents signed expensive economic - stimulus programs designed to take effect immediately . Accordingly , in the following tables , I ' ve given George W . Bush two rows in the table : one for his whole term , consistent with all other Presidents , and one counting only his first seven years , ending with the figures of September 2008 , by which time a recession had started but the government measures to deal with it had n ' t been enacted yet . After deciding on those conventions , there were still several different reasonable ways to look at the data . Table 2 : The Top Ten Deficit Years I have in my hand a copy of tonight ' s Top Ten list . . . . 2008 - 2009 , at $ 933 billion ( G . W . Bush ) 2009 - 2010 , at $ 694 billion ( Obama ) 2011 - 2012 , at $ 424 billion ( Obama ) 2012 - 2013 , at $ 403 billion ( Obama ) 1943 - 1944 , at $ 361 billion ( FDR ) 2014 - 2015 , at $ 353 billion ( Obama ) 1942 - 1943 , at $ 337 billion ( FDR ) 2010 - 2011 , at $ 310 billion ( Obama ) 1944 - 1945 , at $ 287 billion ( FDR ) 2017 - 2018 , at $ 278 billion ( Trump ) Again , all of these numbers are in inflation - adjusted ( 1983 ) dollars . I do n ' t include " partial " years of 6 months or less . Table 3 : Average change in annual deficit How much did the annual deficit shrink or grow ? I subtract the deficit in a President ' s first year from the deficit in the year after that President stepped down ( or , in the case of the current President , from the most recent deficit figures I have ) . This change in deficit is then divided by the number of years it took to achieve it .

Harding - $ 18,097 2 - $ 9,049 W . Wilson + $ 11,573 + $ 1,447 W . H . Taft insufficient data insufficient data Comments on Table 3 : Note that the " avg . change in deficit " numbers are a change in national debt divided by the square of the length of the administration ; they ' re inverse - quadratic in time , and therefore susceptible to short - term noise . That said , the first year and a half of the Trump administration show half again the average annual deficit growth of the G.W. Bush administration , and 4.5 times the annual deficit growth in the first seven years of that administration . Or to put it another way , they ' ve reversed the deficit reduction in an average 32 months of the Obama administration . Obviously , many of the reasons a deficit grows or shrinks are beyond the President ' s control : Congress , the economy , the beginning or ending of a war , the beginning or ending of a recession , etc . For example , the beginning of World War II can be blamed for much of FDR ' s increase in the deficit , just as the end of World War II and the start of the post - war economic boom can be credited for much of Truman ' s matching decrease . I ' m not sure In my lifetime , every Democratic President has left office with a smaller deficit than he inherited , and every Republican President except Nixon has left office with a larger deficit than he inherited . This may be because Republican Presidents have placed high priority on cutting taxes , and placed lower priority on ( or had less success at ) cutting spending . Democratic Presidents have perhaps had equal success at cutting spending ( I have n ' t researched those numbers ) , but have been less committed to cut taxes . Table 4 : Average annual deficit How much debt was accumulated over a President ' s term ( s ) ? The previous approach , looking only at starting and ending deficits , does n ' t distinguish between a President who oversees initially increasing deficits , then decreasing at the end ( like Reagan or Clinton ) and a President who oversees initially decreasing deficits , then increasing at the end ( like Carter or Hoover ) , even though the former racks up more debt . So I computed the average annual deficit over a President ' s term ( s ) . President political party total accumulated debt ( millions ) years in office average annual deficit ( millions ) avg . deficit ( $ = 10billion ) D . J . Trump $ 460,067 1.5 $ 306,711 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ B . H . Obama $ 2,739,719 $ 342,465 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ G .

Harding - $ 4,767 2 - $ 2,383 W . Wilson $ 106,478 $ 13,310 W . H . Taft Comments on Table 4 : Again , the Trump administration figures are based on only a year and a half , and may settle down over time . Again , Republican Presidents seem to rack up the big debts , at least in my lifetime ( which started in 1964 ) . Democratic Presidents ( except Obama ) tend to be " troughs " in the above graph , relative to their Republican successors and predecessors . Before 1964 , the pattern is reversed : three of the four Democratic Presidents ran deficits over their time in office , while three of the four Republican Presidents ran surpluses . The eight years of the Obama administration accrued 23 % more total debt than the eight years of the G.W. Bush administration , which in turn was almost twice as much as eight years of Reagan or twelve years of FDR . The biggest accrued - debt - per - year figures are associated with B.H. Obama , G.W. Bush , D.J. Trump , G.H.W. Bush , Ronald Reagan , FDR , Gerald Ford , Bill Clinton , and Herbert Hoover , in that order . Table 5 : Average deficit minus first - year deficit How does the accumulated debt compare with what it would have been with no change ? Since many of the items in the budget are multi - year commitments with considerable inertia ( most obviously , interest on the national debt ! ) , I recomputed the previous numbers , subtracting the annual deficit in each President ' s first year . In other words , this table compares how much debt was actually accumulated with how much would have been accumulated if deficits had continued as they were when the President took office . average deficit ( from prev . table ) deficit in first year relative average deficit relative avg . deficit ( $ = 10billion ) $ 306,711 $ 146,957 $ 159,754 $ 342,461 $ 932,561 - $ 590,100 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 282,184 - $ 9,524 $ 291,708 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ first 7 years $ 189,273 - $ 9,524 $ 198,797 $ 27,103 $ 163,720 - $ 136,617 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 188,591 $ 113,710 $ 74,882 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 151,911 - $ 9,937 $ 161,847 - $ 16,879 $ 36,691 - $ 53,570 G .

The Federal government was running an enormous annual deficit in his first year , so it would have been remarkable if it had n ' t decreased during his term . Likewise , Obama took office in the middle of , by far , the biggest - deficit year in history , dealing with two wars and the most severe recession since the 1930 ' s ; it would have been remarkable if the deficit had n ' t decreased during his term . In the 106 years for which this Web page has adequate data , there have been eight Democratic and ten Republican Presidents . Five of the eight Democrats oversaw average deficits smaller than they inherited , while eight of the ten Republicans oversaw average deficits larger than they inherited .

http://golondon.about.com/od/currency/a/bureaudechange.htm | Europe England London Guide UK Currency Exchange By Laura Porter Updated 05 / 28 / 18 Andrew Brookes / Getty Images Currency exchange is available at many different sources in London , from airports and banks to travel agencies and street kiosks . Always check the exchange rate before changing money as Bureau de Change outlets do need to make a profit so may not offer the best rate available . The best rates are usually with the banks and travel agencies . The worst rates are normally from the currency exchange kiosks in central London and the railway bureaux often have high commission rates . Main ' High Street ' Banks HSBC Nat West Barclays Lloyds TSB Traveler ' s Checks Traveler ' s checks are a safe form of currency to carry . Buy UK pounds sterling traveler ' s checks before coming to London as fees will be incurred to exchange other currency traveler ' s checks . Cash and Credit Cards You will always need cash as well , to pay for the tube or a cup of coffee . The best way to deal with UK currency is to simply bring your ATM card for withdrawing cash , and use your credit card for Chip and PIN purchases . That way , you get the best exchange rate of the day , do n ' t need to carry large amounts of cash , and your purchases are most likely insured as well ( depending on your credit card company ) . ATMs ( Cash Machines ) We live in an international world ( and London is a serious international city ! ) so it should n ' t be a problem finding a UK ATM ( known locally as ' cash machines ' or ' cash points ' ) that is compatible with your bank account at home . You can check with your bank before traveling to find out the logos to look for in the UK ATMs . As with anywhere in the world , do be security - conscious when using the machine : check that no one is watching you enter your PIN , and put your money away safely before moving away from the machine . Although a lot of countries have letters on their number keypads , they are only just catching on to this idea here in the UK . Therefore , do n ' t just remember the word that signifies your PIN ; rather , remember the finger movement pattern . Also , try to familiarize yourself with UK money before you arrive in London . | [

http://gomexico.about.com/od/entryrequirements/f/need_passport.htm | Mexico Guide Do I need a passport to travel to Mexico ? By Suzanne Barbezat Updated 01 / 31 / 19 Daniel Grill / Getty Images Citizens of the United States , Canada , Australia , the United Kingdom or the European Union who are planning a trip to Mexico will need to carry either a valid passport ( for travel by air ) or another WHTI - compliant travel document ( sometimes accepted for travel by land or sea ) . A passport ( conventional passport book , not a passport card ) is necessary for absolutely everyone entering Mexico by air ( even babies and small children must each have their own passport ) . Travel to Mexico By Land In some cases , travelers entering Mexico by land may not be asked to present a passport or other official identification , but they will certainly need to present one upon their return to their home country , so it is vital to ensure you have your passport with you before crossing the border into Mexico , or you could face some hassles when it ' s time to return home . If you enter Mexico by land and plan to travel beyond the immediate border area ( approximately 20 kilometers into Mexico ) you must stop at an INM ( Instituto Nacional de Migración ) office at the port of entry to obtain an entry permit ( also known as a tourist card or Forma Migratoria Multiple FMM ) , even if you are not explicitly directed to do so by Mexican officials . You will be required to present a valid passport in order to receive the entry permit . You may also be asked to present your passport and Passport Validity For travel to some countries , a passport needs to be valid for at least six months beyond the date of travel . This is not the case for travel to Mexico , and as long as your passport is valid for the entire period of your trip , you wo n ' t have any problems . Do check before your trip to make sure your passport has n ' t expired and will be valid until the date of your return . Exceptions and Special Cases There are a few exceptions to the passport requirement for travel to Mexico . Passports for Children : : The passport requirement is waived in some cases for minors , notably , school groups that are traveling together . Sometimes young people may also be required to present a letter from their parents giving them the authorization to travel . Find out more about travel documents for kids Permanent Residents of the US : Document requirements for lawful permanent residents of the United States did not change under the WHTI ( Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative , originally implemented in 2007 ) . Permanent residents must present their I - 551 Permanent Resident Card when entering the United States . A passport is not required to enter the US , but you may need one to enter Mexico , depending on your nationality . A passport is the best form of international identification and having one may help you avoid hassles when crossing borders . If you do n ' t have a passport , you should apply for one so that you can travel easily . Find out how to get a passport Timeline of passport requirement implementation : Several years ago , citizens of the United States and Canada could travel to Mexico without a passport , but with the implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative ( WHTI ) that the United States government began implementing in 2004 with the goal of strengthening border security , the passport requirement came into effect for travelers within the different countries that make up North America . With this initiative , passport requirements were phased in gradually depending on the mode of transportation used to enter and exit the country . Travel by air : In January 2007 the US Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative ( WHTI ) required all travelers entering or re - entering the United States by air to present a passport . Travel by land or sea : As of June 2009 , US citizens entering the United States by land or sea are required to present a passport or other WHTI compliant travel document such as a passport card More frequently asked questions about Mexico travel documents and entry requirements : What other travel documents are accepted for land and sea travel to Mexico ? What is a tourist card , and do I need one to travel to Mexico ? Does my child need a passport ? I ' m Canadian - do I need a passport to travel to Mexico ? What is a passport card and how do I get one ? | [

This is only one of several parking lots which can be used to access the Pinnacle . This is a VERY popular hike so best to get there very early . TRAIL MAP : PA Appalachian Trail Map Sec . 1 - 6 : Delaware Water Gap to Swatara Gap - Keystone Trails Association Hiking Near the Pinnacle - Berks County , PA HIKE DISTANCE : 9.35 miles This site gives options for hikes of various lengths from different parking locations . APPALACHIAN TRAIL SECTION HIKING : TrailHeadFinder . com - AT section miles 1208.3 to 1214.9 THE HIKE : The hikes starts on the gravel road beyond the yellow gates . The gravel road is blazed blue . A bridge over Furnace Creek just after turning right on the white - blazed Appalachian Trail at the site of the Windsor Furnace . The AT starts out nice and smooth . . . . . . but it just would n ' t be the AT in PA without some rocks thrown in . The rocks bring you up to . . . . . . an observatory on the left and Pulpit Rock on the right . Coming up on Pulpit Rock . It was a gorgeous sunny day but fog obstructed the views in the valley below . Over some more rocks and along the ridge . . . . . . to a blue side trail at the largest cairn you have probably ever seen . Still lots of fog down in the valley at the Pinnacle . I had the Pinnacle all to myself since I started so early . Picture from a clear day when I hiked to the Pinnacle from Eckville on November 8 , 2009 . The AT then continues on as a woods road with droves of people coming up to the Pinnacle as I was leaving . At a clearing known as the helipad , a blue trail leaves to the left for the 8.7 mile hike but we kept going on the AT to make the hike longer . Another blue - blazed trail leaves to the left as the AT makes a right turn . . . . . . and it is a very pleasant grassy woods road where we only ran into two other hikers . This is not a route used by the masses to get to the Pinnacle so it is a much quieter way to return to the parking lot . This blue - blazed woods road leads down to Hamburg Reservoir . . . Where I was mobbed by ladybugs ! They were everywhere and all coming at me . The dam at Hamburg Reservoir . A gravel road leads from the reservoir to the AT briefly , then to the blue - blazed gravel road back to the parking lot with yet more people heading to the Pinnacle . One ladybug rode all the way back to the parking lot on my backpack .

http://goneoutdoors.com/homemade-snake-traps-5462478.html | Homemade Snake Traps Catching snakes is not an easy task as snakes are elusive , often aggressive and live in hard - to - reach spots . That ' s why snake traps are used by exterminators , for a price . But homemade snake traps can be easily and cheaply constructed and can usually get the job done just as well . Wooden Box Trap To catch a snake at its den , wooden boxes can do the trick . First , locate an entrance to the den , like a hole in the ground or a hole in the side of the house or garage . This will probably be the hardest part . Then the wooden box should be set on top of it , with a valve apparatus sticking into the hole . The valve should be 1 to 2 inches in diameter and the box should have no other entrances or exits that the snake can crawl through . The valve Funnel Door Snake Trap A wire cage can easily be converted into a funnel door snake trap . At one end of the wire cage , the wire should be modified and converted into a funnel that is very narrow so that a snake can just barely fit through it . Inside the cage should be a live mouse or some other bait - - live small animals work better then dead bait or just food . The snake will smell the bait and crawl through the small hole in the funnel to eat the mouse or bait . But because the hole is Snake Glue Traps Snake glue traps have been said to be the most effective for catching snakes . A cardboard box can be used and a funnel - type hole is made in the cardboard . Inside the box , glue or very strong double - stick adhesive tape is laid down . And then a small cage with a mouse inside of it is placed inside the box to lure the snake inside . Once the snake is inside the box to get the bait , it will slither over the adhesive and become stuck , trapping it . Then you can References Glue Snake Trap Funnel Snake Trap Wooden Box Trap About the Author Hailing from Austin , Texas , Daniel Westlake has written under pen names for a myriad of publications all over the nation , ranging from national magazines to local papers .

http://goneworleans.about.com/od/festivals/a/mardigrasdates.htm | United States Louisiana New Orleans Guide Future Mardi Gras Dates What to Know Before You Go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans By Sharon Keating Updated 03 / 15 / 18 Mardi Gras in New Orleans is arguably America ' s best and largest party . The general theme is " eat , drink , and be merry , " and the locals take that very seriously , as this city - wide event is considered the last hurrah before the Lenten season . In the Catholic faith , fasting , abstaining from eating meat on Fridays , and ritual sacrificing is expected of parishioners during the 40 day period of Lent , which begins on Ash Wednesday each year . The Future Dates of Mardi Gras from 2019 – 2027 Mardi Gras , which is the French term for " Fat Tuesday " falls on a different calendar date every year because it is always the Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday . Since Ash Wednesday coincides with the date of Easter , which always falls on the first Sunday after the spring equinox and a full moon , the ever - changing moon cycles are the cause for the ever - changing dates . While planning a trip to Mardi Gras can seem intimidating , especially for first - time travelers , with some strategic planning you and your entire family can have one of the best vacations of your life in The Big Easy . The best advice is to plan early , and that starts with knowing the dates of Mardi Gras whether you ' re visiting next year or 10 years from now . Mardi Gras 2019 is March 5 Mardi Gras 2020 is February 25 Mardi Gras 2021 is February 16 Mardi Gras 2022 is March 1 Mardi Gras 2023 is February 21 Mardi Gras 2024 is February 13 Mardi Gras 2025 is March 4 Mardi Gras 2026 is February 17 Mardi Gras 2027 is February 9 When to Plan Your Visit It ' s important to note that carnival is the season leading up Fat Tuesday . It begins in early January for " King ' s Day " and runs until midnight on Mardi Gras . The party ends pretty abruptly on Fat Tuesday , so in order to maximize your experience , plan on arriving earlier , particularly for Lundi Gras , the Day Before Mardi Gras , and the city ' s second largest party day . You can plan to arrive even earlier in the month and not miss out , as there are several parties and parades that begin about two weeks before Mardi Gras Tuesday . New Orleans pulls out all the stops for these grand displays , so if you only choose one activity to do during your stay , make sure it is one of the city ' s best parades Places to Experience Mardi Gras How you experience Mardi Gras depends greatly on your location . The French Quarter is undoubtedly the most famous for the massive crowds , excessive drinking , bead throwing , and overall lewdness . It is important to know , however , that although there are no open container laws in New Orleans , nudity is illegal in public , just as it is anywhere else in the country . So , if you plan on partaking in the famous flashing , think twice . There are hundreds of arrests every year for public nudity , and you wo n Mardi Gras on St . Charles Avenue is the place for family - friendly Mardi Gras activities . You will see parades , tame bead throws and , because of the family atmosphere , none of the lewdness of the French Quarter . The crowds will still be heavy , but they are friendly and add to the festive atmosphere . What to Eat in New Orleans New Orleans is truly a special city in America with a culture all its own , and the quickest way to experience the city as the locals do is to eat your way through The Big Easy . Some of New Orleans ' most famous specialties include beignets from Cafe du Monde , po ' boy sandwiches , boiled crawfish , muffuletta sandwiches , redfish , gumbo , jambalaya , etouffée , and the special Mardi Gras treat king cakes What to Bring on a Trip to Mardi Gras Because Mardi Gras can be anytime from the beginning of February to early March , the weather can fluctuate . However , New Orleans is generally warm and usually sweltering year - round , so do n ' t forget to pack shorts and skirts , but also a jacket and long pants for colder evenings and to ward off mosquitos . While there generally is n ' t a dress code for public parties , and bar hopping , if you are lucky enough to get an invitation to a Mardi Gras Ball , it ' s strictly formal dress . Dresses must be below the ankles and tuxedos are required for men . For Mardi Gras day , you will want to bring a fun and festive costume to celebrate , but keep in mind that you will most likely wear it for several hours that includes walking , so plan accordingly . | [

This is a low cost desexing program and has a directory of participating vets in South Australia on their website . From what age can a cat have kittens ? Kittens can get pregnant from four to five months of age . Many people wait to have their cat is six months of age before having it desexed , only to end up dealing with an unexpected litter . Consider keeping your female kitten inside until she is desexed . Similarly , young male cats who are undesexed and allowed to roam may be contributing to the number of unwanted and stray cats in your area . They are also more likely to get in to fights over territory which could lead to injuries , disease and expensive trips to the vet . Cats can be desexed from two months of age .

If you are concerned about your cat gaining weight after desexing speak to your vet before making any dietary changes . : Desexing is expensive . : Desexing is a one - off expense .

http://goodhunt.blogs.theledger.com/21168/floridas-2016-bay-scallop-season-starts-june-25th/ | Good Hunt Florida ’ s 2016 Bay Scallop Season Starts June 25th Friday , June 3 , 2016 at 3 : 09 by Ian Nance Constant thunderstorming interrupted what started out to be a dynamite 2015 scallop year off the Homosassa area , for us at least . Hoped - for quick trips from Lakeland kept getting scuttled by the radar . While afternoon storms are plenty normal in Florida , the day - long deluges of 2015 were not . Hopefully 2016 ’ s weather is kinder . With scallops , it ’ s tough to say how one year will affect the next . They tend to run in three - year boom - and - bust cycles . FWC typically releases a forecast of sorts , but it has not been published yet . Once it is , I ’ ll pass it along . On the legal front , there are no major changes in store for the 2016 Bay Scallop Season minus one potential issue in Gulf County that could shutter their season . From FWC “ There has been no decision at this time to cancel the scallop season in Gulf County . We are continuing to collect data , evaluating information , and working closely with the Gulf County community . We will host two workshops in the Port St . Joe area on May 24 and June 13 from 5 : 30 to 7 : 30 p.m. EDT at the Capital City Bank conference room , 2nd floor , 504 Monument Ave . to gather public input and bring this issue before the Commission in June . Based on the most current scallop For the rest of the scalloping world , here ’ s what you need to know before hitting the water in three weeks . Florida Recreational Regulations : Minimum Size Limit – None Daily Bag Limit 2 gallons whole bay scallops in shell , or 1 pint of bay scallop meat per person . Maximum of 10 gallons of whole bay scallops in shell , or 1 / 2 gallon bay scallop meat per vessel Season Open June 25 – Sept . 24 * Season opens the Saturday before July 1 unless July 1 falls on a Saturday , then the opening date would be July 1 . Commercial harvest prohibited . Recreational harvesters need a Florida saltwater fishing license to harvest bay scallops unless they are 1 . ) exempt from needing a license or 2 . ) have a no - cost shoreline fishing license and are wading to collect scallops ( i.e. feet do not leave bottom to swim , snorkel , or SCUBA ) . Bay scallops may only be harvested in state waters from the Pasco - Hernando County line ( near Aripeka – latitude 28 degrees , 26.016 minutes North ) to the west bank of the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County ( longitude 85 degrees , 25.84 minutes West ) . It is illegal to possess bay scallops on waters outside open harvest areas . It is also illegal to land scallops outside open harvest areas . For example , it would be legal to take scallops from waters off the Hernando County coast , but it would be illegal to dock your boat in Pasco County with the scallop catch onboard . Legal Gear : Harvest permitted by hand or landing or dip net And , of course , be sure to have your diving flag at the ready .

How Crying Relieves Stress And Improves Your Health October 29 , 2014 By Good Relaxation Experts Does crying relieve stress ? The answer is yes . It seems natural to feel embarrassed when you cry and some people may think of you as a weak person . But there ’ s more to it than feeling sad because crying relieves stress and makes you feel better . Crying is free and anyone can do it . There are no side effects when you cry but it will certainly make your eyes red with tears running down on your cheeks . Crying is not a popular drug but studies show that it ’ s very effective in making you feel better . Based on studies , scientists found out that our tears are made up of different compounds when we produce specific type of tears such as emotional tears from sadness or regular eye watering caused by chopping onions . Let s Start With Tears Before we can see how crying relieves stress , we should talk a little bit about tears . There are three kinds of tears and these are emotional tear , basal tear and eye watering . Emotional tears are different from the other two types of tears because it contains essential chemicals that are not commonly found in tears that are caused by physical irritants such as the acidic fumes of chopped onions . Generally , emotional tears contain adrenocorticotropic hormone , prolactin hormone and a natural painkiller called leucine enkephalin . Basal tears are the protective layer of fluid that covers our eyeballs . These fluids are produced by a gland which is located above each eye and they are known as lachrymal glands . Without basal tears , our eyes may become dry and prone to bacterial infection . Basal tears contain a powerful anti - viral and antibacterial agent called lysozyme . Without lysozyme , our eyes will not be able to function properly and we could go blind . The last type of tears is called eye watering . These tears protect our eyes against irritants like the acidic fumes of chopped onions and other foreign bodies such as dust . Eye watering is sometimes called reflex tears because the lachrymal gland automatically produces more fluids when an irritant comes in contact with the eyes . For millions of years , people cry to show their emotions . Crying remains to be part of our evolution so , it must have some special purpose . On the contrary , some people believe that laughter is the best medicine which is also true because it improves the immune system to protect us against sickness - causing germs and it reduces the number of stress hormones . Learn more : 11 Ways To Relax Yourself After Crying How Crying Relieves Stress Crying relieves stress by releasing stored chemicals in our body The recovery theory supports the idea that our emotional tears can help us recover from a stressful event . According to a pharmaceutics professor William Frey , we will feel better after we cry because the stored chemicals in our body during emotional stress are removed . Unrelieved stress can make us prone to a heart - related disease such as heart attack which can damage some parts of our brain and our ability to cry can prevent it from happening . Our tears contain stress - related chemicals There are also other evidences which prove that crying relieves stress . It is found out that an emotional tear contains high amounts of manganese , potassium and proteins . Manganese is an important nutrient that normalizes the flow of blood and cholesterol level ( too much manganese can cause heart problems ) . Potassium is also an essential nutrient that normalizes our blood pressure muscle movement and the way we think . All that helps to relieve stress . Our tears release a stress hormone An emotional tear also contains a hormone known as prolactin . Prolactin plays a vital role in the immune system and the stress we experience in our daily lives . Women produce more prolactin hormone in their body than men , that ’ s why they tend to cry more often , especially during pregnancy . How does crying relieve stress to make me feel better ? Crying relieves stress by producing emotional tears that contain stress relief chemicals and hormones . But there s more to crying than stress relief . Here ’ s our detailed list about the other health benefits of crying . Other Health Benefits Of Crying Crying elevates your mood When you are stressed , your manganese level tends to rise and the best way to reduce it is by crying . Too much manganese can cause irritability , aggression , nervousness , fatigue , anxiety and emotional disturbance . Prevents sickness Crying can protect us from diseases like cold and flu . The tears in our eyes help fight against germs . Our tears have the ability to kill 90 % of bacteria within a few minutes . Releases your inner feelings If you experience traumatic events in your life or you are suffering from depression . It is essential for you to express your feelings . By crying because some of your problems and deepest longings may accumulate inside the part of your brain called limbic system which may cause a more serious mental illness . Promotes clear vision When we cry , our eyesight becomes clearer because the tears have a moisturizing effect on our eyes which makes sure that the membrane surrounding our eyeballs will not be dehydrated . Helps when dealing with frustration The problems we encounter in our daily lives can make us feel helpless and frustrated . Crying relieves stress and frustration because it helps us to let go of all the pent up feelings and it enables us to take better control of our lives . Helps when dealing with disappointment Not all things work the way we planned , and sometimes , we feel disappointed . Crying allows us to accept our disappointments and it will help us to learn from our mistakes Improves your connection with other people Some people are afraid to cry in front of a partner or friend . But showing your true feelings is a good way to get closer to that person . When you are comfortable with one another , you wo n ’ t feel embarrassed to show your emotions and they will appreciate you more as a person . Adjust easily to the changes in your life Most people find it hard to accept the changes in their lives because they tend to stick with their usual way of life . But when we encounter problems such as a life threatening disease or a serious accident that requires us to change the way we live , we might find it hard to accept reality . The best thing to do in these situations is to cry because crying is a healthy response when we feel sad .

http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/05/customize-google-docs-forms.html | Google Operating System Unofficial news and tips about Google May 3 , 2008 Customize Google Docs Forms Adding forms as a way to include information in a Google Spreadsheet was one of the best decisions made by Google lately as it increased the adoption of the product . Unfortunately , Google does n ' t offer options to customize the forms or validate the input . But just because Google hosts the forms for you does n ' t mean you ca n ' t copy the code on your web pages and edit it . After copying the code , you can edit the CSS rules to customize the form , remove the references to external files or the links to Google ' s terms of use . This article has a list of pretty forms customized only using CSS . If some of the fields need to have a certain format ( for example : dates , email addresses etc . ) , you may include some JavaScript code that validates the input before submitting the form or after a certain field loses the focus . This JavaScript library includes the code for some common validations , so you can use it without too much programming effort . LiveValidation requires to write some code , but it validates the input as you type . Here ' s a simple styled form that validates the first field using an annoying alert ( you can submit the form only if JavaScript is enabled ) : In what year did you first use Google ? What search engines did you use before Google ? And here ' s the code : < style type = " text / css " media = " screen " > .ss - form - container { width : 380px ; background - color : # FFF ; border : 1px solid # CCC ; padding : 0.5em 1em ; font - size : 0.9em ; } .ss - q - title { font - weight : bold ; padding - left : 7px ; display : block ; } .ss - q - submit { color : # 000 ; } .ss - form - entry { margin - bottom : 1.5em ; } .ss Validation only works when JavaScript is enabled in your browser . Note that if you edit the form using Google Docs , you need to change the code from your web page . { Thanks , A . } Posted by Alex Chitu at 5 / 03 / 2008 03 : 52 : 00 AM Labels : Google Docs Tips 21 comments : Bruce Rusk May 3 , 2008 at 6 : 04 AM Your form is confusing ! It did not accept my answer of 1996 to the first question ; I used google . stanford . edu then . Do you mean google . com or its predecessor ? Your data will be worthless without clearer instructions ! Reply Pat Hawks May 3 , 2008 at 10 : 03 AM Does this violate TOS ? Just curious . . . Reply Ionut Alex Chitu May 3 , 2008 at 10 : 14 AM @ Bruce : That was just an example . I included 1996 in the valid date range . @ Pat : I do n ' t know , but Google Docs no longer has special terms of use . Maybe this phrase from Google Terms of Service could cover it : " You agree not to access ( or attempt to access ) any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google , unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google . " Anonymous May 3 , 2008 at 12 : 40 PM Only thing i miss is custom redirect . I want something so that my website visitor can come back to where he left . Is this possible ? Ionut Alex Chitu May 3 , 2008 at 1 : 20 PM I updated the code so that the form no longer sends you to Google ' s " thank you " page . The form uses as a target the name of an invisible iframe and the script displays a success message in the onsubmit event . Anonymous May 4 , 2008 at 5 : 30 AM hey man . . .that simply rocks . . .just a question . . .can i do it without iframe or is there another way of takings user to a custompage May 4 , 2008 at 5 : 37 AM You could use some tricks to send users to a custom page ( like redirecting users after a number of seconds in the onsubmit event ) , but I do n ' t see the point . Showing a message inside the same page is simpler and more effective . Jono Ellis May 5 , 2008 at 2 : 23 PM I played with the code for this a bit when forms were launched but the ability to stay on the same page is a genius touch . Thanks . Alem May 28 , 2008 at 6 : 37 AM ( I know it ' s been some time since the last comment . . . ) My question : Is there a simple way ( some lines of code perhaps ) to let the reader stay on the same page ( as you did here in your example ) WITHOUT any kind of validation . Or what do I have to remove to just have the reader stay on the same page with the custom thank you - without the validation code . I tried to remove a few things from your code but it did n ' t work out . What do I have to add to my code to just stay on the slists June 24 , 2008 at 10 : 11 AM Based on the info provided in this article there is now an online way to customize google forms . You can add custom messages , required fields and date fields with a few clicks . Visit googleforms to customize your forms . Arjan July 13 , 2008 at 1 : 47 AM Just curious : does setting the action attribute to an empty string , and then giving it a value in the onsubmit event , like < form action = " " onsubmit = " this . action = ' http : / / . . . ' ; if ( . . ) . . else . . " > behave differently than simply setting its value using the action attribute , like < form action = " http : / / . . . " onsubmit = " if ( . . ) . . else . . " > By the way : Google might have changed the names of the parameters : < input type = " text " name = " single : 1 " > in current ( embedded ) forms would read < input type = " text " name = " entry . 1 . single " > So , a warning : not only when YOU change your form definition you need to revise your HTML , but also when Google changes something . . . Arjan July 13 , 2008 at 4 : 20 AM I assume that making the onsubmit somehow invoke location . href = " thankyou . html " ; like onsubmit = " if ( validate ( this ) ) { location . href = . . ; return true ; } else return false ; " would yield serious synchronisation problems ( the form probably not being properly submitted when the redirect is started ) . If you want to do a redirect after submitting the form , see http : / / copaseticflow . blogspot . com / 2008 / 03 / cowbells - without - retakes . html July 13 , 2008 at 4 : 27 AM @ Arjan : < < Just curious : does setting the action attribute to an empty string , and then giving it a value in the onsubmit event behave differently than simply setting its value using the action attribute ? > > I did this to prevent those who disable JavaScript to submit the form without validation . Of course , there are many other ways to bypass the validation , since it ' s not done on the server side . < < Google might have changed the names of the parameters . . . > > The form still works . paul g . mattiuzzi , ph . d . July 30 , 2008 at 1 : 16 PM Hi ! Could you please post the code for just the custom thank you message . . . I ca n ' t figure out how to separate out the validation part . Thanks . paul . July 30 , 2008 at 4 : 07 PM You can add a custom thank you message in the form ' s preferences . The setting is called " custom confirmation message " . September 25 , 2008 at 7 : 38 AM Here ' s a link to a simple tool that will generate the code for a form that redirects the user to a custom page after submitting . http : / / sneakysheep . com / google - docs - form - tool . php November 3 , 2008 at 2 : 10 PM Really helpful customization - I have a two stage registration process which first needs to collect information from the registrant and store it in a Google Doc / spreadsheet and then prompt the user for payment using Google Checkout . I was able to use the hidden iframe target along with a timed redirect in javascript to achieve the posting of the information to the Google spreadsheet and then directed onto a second page which then displays the registration costs and Google checkout buttons . I used this great snippet for the redirect from : http : / / www Dan November 22 , 2008 at 1 : 44 PM @ slists , the tool you ' ve made looks great ; but it does n ' t seem to be working right now - the validate options just say FieldsRequiredCalender . . . is this a temporary thing ? thanks ! Morning Copy December 2 , 2008 at 7 : 33 PM Great article ! As it happens I just wrote a tutorial for styling Google Forms : http : / / www . morningcopy . com . au / news / how - to - style - google - forms / No date validation or ugly Google confirmation pages . susan January 22 , 2009 at 6 : 42 PM I learned a lot so thanks very much ! Quick question though . I need to check for a valid email so I added the javascript as well as a quick check for an empty name field . Works great EXCEPT when there is an invalid email address , yes the alert message pops up and no the " thanks " is not displayed , but the entry is placed in the google spreadsheet with the invalid email address .

http://gospain.about.com/od/ryanair/tp/ryanair_fees.htm | Air Travel Airlines 10 Ryanair Charges and How to Avoid Them By Damian Corrigan Updated 11 / 06 / 18 © TripSavvy 2018 Like all budget airlines , Ryanair keeps costs down by charging you for extra services . But no airline piles on the extras like Ryanair . Here ' s a breakdown of all the extra fees to look out for as well as some comparisons to another budget airline , easyJet . 01 of 09 Ryanair ' s ' Boarding Pass Reprint ' Fee Everyone who flies with Ryanair has to check in online . That ' s right : everyone . You . Must . Check . In . Online . Lots of people forget and are forced to pay a ' boarding pass reprint fee ' . Oh yeah , did I tell you ? Check in online ! Even if you have printed your boarding card , you may still be fined . Reasons include : Print - out is of bad quality Page is damaged Part of the page is missing . You must print everything , including the advertisement . Note that Ryanair has started putting an advertisement pop - up over your ticket when you first view it online . You must exit this before you print . How Much You Could Be Charged : 45 € per person if you forgot to check - in online , 15 € if you did but forgot your print - out . easyJet Equivalent Fee : No equivalent . See more : Ryanair v easyJet How to Avoid This Ryanair Charge : Did I forget to say ? Check in online ! And use the Ryanair app to check in , then there ' s no need to remember your print - out . 02 of 09 Ryanair ' s Name Change Fee Damian Corrigan Ryanair ' s highest fee , so worth drawing a lot of attention to . If you misspell your name by one letter , or even if you write ' Rob ' when your passport says ' Robert ' , you ' ll be charged when you reach the airport . How Much You Could Pay : 160 € per person if paying at the airport . If you notice before you get to the airport that your name is entered wrong , the charge is ' only ' 110 € . It ' s possible that if you notice a mistake before you travel and call , they will change the name free of charge . Be sure to check your information carefully and call if you notice a mistake . easyJet Equivalent Fee : 42 € online , 48 € at the airport . How to Avoid This Ryanair Charge : Type carefully ! If you make a mistake , consider rebooking . 03 Ryanair ' s Excess Luggage Fee Damian Corrigan All airlines charge for excess luggage , but Ryanair has the lowest baggage allowance in Europe ( 15kg ) and the highest excess luggage fee too . They will allow 20kg bags for an extra fee , and you can take a second small bag for free on the plane . Be sure to check for changes to this policy on their website . How Much You Could Pay : 20 € per kilo . This means that a 23kg bag that British Airways would allow will cost you 160 € to check in , and a 20kg case that easyJet would allow will cost you 100 € . easyJet has no maximum weight for hand baggage . Their excess weight is 12 € per kilo , or 21 € per 3kg when booked online . Do n ' t assume that the amount of luggage you normally travel with will be under Ryanair ' s stingy limit . Weigh your bag before you leave . 04 Ryanair ' s Unusual Hand Luggage Dimensions and Extra Fees Ryanair is almost unique in allowing hand baggage of just 55cmx40cmx20cm ( the vast majority of airlines allow 56cmx45cmx25cm ) . So if you take your usual hand luggage bag , Ryanair may force you to check it into the hold . How Much You Could Pay : 100 € . If you ' ve already reached your checked baggage allowance of 15kg and are forced to check in your 10kg hand luggage , you ' ll have to pay 200 € to do so ( 20 € per kg ) . easyJet Equivalent fee : No equivalent . easyJet ' s baggage dimensions are the industry standard and they have no weight limit for checked luggage . Measure your bag before you leave . But be aware that even if your bag does fit the metal frame , they may still charge you . See the surprising pictures : How Strict is the Ryanair Baggage Allowance ? Continue to 5 of 9 below . 05 Ryanair ' s 36Checked Luggage Fees Mikel Ortega / Creative Commons At the time of writing , Ryanair has 36 checked baggage fees ( you can see them all here : Official Ryanair Charges Table ) . From 15 € to 150 € , depending on too many factors to mention . Normally 14 € . You can pay more for extra weight , but not for extra bags . The standard checked allowance is 20kg . Try to travel hand luggage only . 06 Ryanair ' s Priority Boarding Fee Juan Edc / Creative Commons " Would you like to be one of the first passengers to board the aircraft ? " Ryanair asks when you book your flight . Unfortunately , Ryanair does not actually always offer this service , even when you ' ve paid for it . Find out in what circumstances Ryanair fails to provide this service here : Ryanair ' s Priority Boarding Fee In an email to me , Ryanair ' s head of communications , Stephen McNamara , described this breach of contract as ' a trivial , non - issue ' . Just 5 € per person . But it ' s the principle , right ? Varies . But this is one example where easyJet charges a lot more than Ryanair . At least easyJet ' s priority boarding works . Do n ' t select it ! When paying for your baggage , make sure you select ' no ' when asked if you want this service . 07 Ryanair ' s Travel Insurance Anna & Michal Ryanair ' s travel insurance is a lot more expensive than that offered by most insurance companies , while its cover is considerably less comprehensive . Which ? A British consumer rights publication and website has a page on suggested minimum travel insurance requirements . Ryanair ' s insurance falls well short of this . For example , Ryanair ' s policy only offers 50,000 € of medical cover ; Which ? recommends a minimum of two million pounds . 15.50 € per person . Yes , they have their own travel insurance . No , you should n ' t buy it . So it does n ' t matter how much it costs , does it ? Ryanair no longer adds insurance as standard , as it used to . This is a very welcome improvement . 08 Ryanair ' s Flight Change Fee Juanedc Ryanair ' s baggage drop desks are known for their long lines . In an extreme case , Ryanair opened just 11 check - in desks for 255 flights . If you do n ' t check in in time , you ' ll be denied boarding . If you are a non - EU citizen , you also need your boarding card stamped by the Ryanair Visa / Document Check Desk . If you are a UK citizen and you do n ' t have a passport , you ca n ' t fly with Ryanair , even within the UK These are n ' t legal requirements , just hoops Ryanair requires you to jump through . If you do n ' t , you may be denied boarding . More : Denied Boarding by Ryanair - the Reasons If you ca n ' t board , you ' ll pay a 75 € to 90 € flight change fee and price difference . 48 € and the difference , but the chances of this happening to you with easyJet is much lower . Arrive early . Continue to 9 of 9 below . 09 Ryanair ' s Expensive In - Flight Food and Drink A recent study found that Ryanair charges most for snacks out of all British and Irish airlines . Can you last a five - hour flight from Edinburgh to Tenerife without refreshments ? A bottle of water costs 2.99 € ( more than a sweet J20 juice drink ) . All air food is expensive , but easyJet ' s costs less than Ryanair , with water at a fair price . Liquids bought past passport control can be taken on board ( as long as are in your single piece of hand luggage ) . Food can normally be brought through passport control , but check current restrictions ( health scares can periodically prevent you from carrying certain foodstuffs abroad ) . If in doubt , buy at the airport . Yes , it ' s expensive , but it ' s cheaper than Ryanair . | [

http://gospain.about.com/od/wineinspain/f/spanish_wine.htm | Europe Spain Guide The Most Famous Wines in Spain By Damian Corrigan Updated 10 / 13 / 17 Image : Jenny Downing / Creative Commons ( some rights reserved ) The most famous Spanish red wine in Spain comes from the regions of La Rioja and Ribera del Duero . La Rioja is located in northern Spain just south of the Basque Country , right below the Cantabrian Mountains , where vineyards make up the Ebro valley . There are many summer festivals here including a popular wine battle called the Batalla de Vino . Ribera del Duero is also located in northern Spain and is considered one of the eleven regions of Castile and Leon with quality wine . In fact , this community has been making wine for over 2,000 years . Although these regions are fairly remote , wine connoisseurs can sample these wines in their region by participating in one of the various wine tours of Spain . The wine regions of La Rioja and Ribera del Duero have bright and fruity wineries that are abundant and cheap in comparison to the rest of Spain . La Rioja The most common grape used for Rioja is Tempranillo , a grape native to Spain . The name is derived from the Spanish word temprano , which means " early , " as the grape becomes ripe earlier than other grapes . Other grapes used for Rioja include Garnacha Tinta , Graciano , and Mazuelo . Every year , the region makes over 250 million liters of wine . Travelers can sample this wine at a bar by going to the Calle Laurel in Logroño or visiting a vineyard or winery directly . Those looking for a wine festival with adventure can visit the Haro Wine Festival in Haro , a town in the La Rioja region that ' s famous for producing this red wine . The celebration takes place annually in June and goes all the way back to the 13th century when Haro divided property lines between itself and its neighbor Miranda De Ebro . Today , attendees wear white shirts and a red scarf before the famous wine battle happens , where they use vessels like buckets and sprayers to launch their wine in . In fact , this tradition is encouraged . Ribera del Duero Ribera del Duero is a stretch of land along the river Duero in Castilla - Leon , extending from Burgos to Valladolid and including the town of Peñafiel . Ribera del Duero wine uses Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo grapes . The most expensive wine in Spain , made by the notable Vega Sicilia winery , comes from this region . Other famous red wine regions in Spain include Navarra , Priorato , Penedès , and Albariño . The most popular Ribera del Duero wines include the Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva , Dominio de Pingus " Pingus , " and Aalto . These suggested wines can range anywhere from $ 43 a bottle all the way up to $ 413 per bottle . Red and White Wine When dining in Spain , the immense popularity of Rioja and Ribera del Duero often results in restaurant waiters suggesting between the two . In comparison to Rioja , Ribera is generally considered more of a luxury , and it is more expensive . Although red wine is the most popular from these two regions , there are some Spanish white wines available . For example , White Rioja from Viura is a good choice , along with Sherry and Cava . | [

http://gospelinnovation.com/music/anthony-evans-amazing-god/ | You are here : Home Gospel Music Anthony Evans – Amazing God Anthony Evans – Amazing God Anthony Evans sings “ Amazing God ” from his New CD “ Undisguised ” . This is a song you will love listening to . Download the full version at iTunes Now ! If you are a new christian and are looking for uplifting music that will glorify God , check this out ! Purchase this CD on iTunes Visit His Website : Follow Him On Twitter : ( Both projects distributed by INO Records ) Anthony Evans “ I really do n ’ t feel like doing this tonight … ” As the words echoed through the concert hall , Anthony Evans gazed out at an audience that was staring , with wrinkled brows , back at him . In that strangely silent moment there were more than a few furrowed foreheads facing the singer , but the man on the stage was no longer conflicted . In fact for the first time in a long while the expression on Anthony ’ s face was genuine , without pretense . Tired of the game every human feels compelled to play ; that no - win competition to be everything you ’ re not – in hopes of pleasing everyone you know , Anthony let down his guard . “ My heart was broken , ” he remembers . “ But in that honest moment I made the choice to worship and we did the concert anyway … It turned out to be the most connected night I have ever had ; because I approached the audience – undisguised . ” Letting the mask fall , this singer / songwriter was able to see his life and his relationships with both man and God from a less restricted view . And enlightened by that perspective , Anthony turned his fresh insight into the words and music of his latest twelve - track collection releasing in January 2010 , aptly titled Undisguised . “ As Christian artists we think we ca n ’ t be perceived as broken . We have to put up a façade that says we ’ ve ‘ got it ’ . But opening up , revealing the truth of who we are and what we ’ re experiencing , allows God to do what He does best . ” — And that fresh concept of ‘ revealing the truth ’ is evident in every heart - felt lyric of Anthony ’ s newest offering … All that matters to me is what You see when You look at me All that matters to me is how You feel when You think of me No more distractions my one affection is only you my Jesus now You ’ re all that matters ( + ) The compositions are thoughtful , engaging , illuminating . Each one evoking an atmosphere of introspection and inspiration ; each one designed with ‘ maskless ’ worship in mind . So take me as You find me , all my fears and failures Fill my life again I give my life to follow everything I believe in , now I surrender ( * ) “ … I ’ ve noticed , in doing live concerts , ” Anthony recalls , “ that there is something God does between my mouth and the audience ’ s ears . Somehow He translates my honest emotions and connects them with what is honestly going on inside each listener . ” And through the recorded frequencies of his harmonic voice , that same invisible , yet audible connection is cut into every CD of ‘ Undisguised ’ . All it takes is a press of the button marked ‘ PLAY ’ for that everyday need for pretense to melodically fade away . TURNING A MESS INTO A MESSAGE Anthony ’ s confession to his audience , on that fateful night , took everyone by surprise . But like the crescendo of a song , the reasons for his sudden declaration had been building within him for a while . “ I had people in my life that had no business being there … and I was busy trying to make everybody happy . ” That juggling act began to take its toll on Anthony . And in time , it affected the one human relationship he valued the most – the one with his bride - to - be . “ … Every day , during the engagement , there were disguises and masks ; trying to make sure that she thought I was great . I was afraid that she would n ’ t accept me , if she truly knew me … There was a lot of stuff I had to work through … I had to get over … Love does n ’ t do disguises . ” All of the masks eventually crumbled into a mess . But working through the pain of it all not only led Anthony to moment of unexpected honestly with his audience ; it compelled him to come face to face with himself . Out of that mess came an intimate message , which he chose to put to words and music . I said I loved you but I protected , and kept my heart from you I saw your hurting eyes still I decided to move away keep myself safe . I apologize cause I ’ ve realized … love is willing to get hurt Love gives needing no return When Love lives it needs no words I ’ ve learned that ’ s what love is ( * * ) “ Holding up a mask and trying to be everything you ’ re not is too much work , ” Anthony has learned . “ Keeping up such appearances is a drain of your time and energy . And it keeps you from doing what you should be doing . ” Taking account of his disguises both personal and professional , and remembering how receptive to worship his audience had been after his public declaration ; Anthony re - evaluated what he should be doing . And the results have been life changing . Not only has Anthony Evans become a much - sought - after worship leader , with invitations to Franklin Graham events and such venues as The National Worship Leaders Conference , the recording artist has also taken a leading role in producing the very music he records . Having recently started his own record company , Anthony partnered with INO Records for the distribution of his upcoming project , Undisguised . For the first time , Anthony , who co - produced it along with Dove Award - nominated Rusty Varenkamp and up - and - coming producer Brandon Hood , oversaw every detail of this collection . Added to those duties , Anthony penned nine of the twelve tracks with Dove Award winner , Grammy - nominated songwriter ( and friend ) Jason Ingram – as well as “ Wait , ” and “ You Alone ” MAN WITHOUT A MASK And if that ’ s not enough , Evans and company have just put the finishing touches on a fresh compilation of holiday classics called , What Christmas Means . Included are not only timeless versions of such standards as “ Do You Hear What I Hear , ” “ Little Drummer Boy , ” “ Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas , ” “ O Come All Ye Faithful , ” and “ O Holy Night . ” But Anthony also covers the contemporary classics of today such as “ What Christmas Means To Me , ” “ This Like most seasonal compilations , this collection conjures that rare , but familiar atmosphere of simple , holiday joy . However , with Anthony Evans ’ involvement , it is a given that every track also contains his unique vocal spin , and his signature penchant for looking deeper . No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts And everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grown up Christmas list ( # ) “ What Christmas Means … ” is not just the CD ’ s title , it is a question individuals must compile for themselves . Anthony ’ s definition can be found , not only in the very list of the CD ’ s compositions , but in every heart - felt note he sings . And what better way to acknowledge Evans ’ fresh , maskless approach to worship - filled music than to celebrate , in song , the birth of the One who introduced the world to living truthful ; without pretense . “ All that I ’ ve experienced has led me to this new calling . God is telling me , ‘ Anthony , show them who you are . Show them the truth and I will do the rest ’ . ” Today Anthony Evans is a man without a mask , living without pretense , doing what he should be doing … . ‘ undisguised . ’ www .

alive is a success When Gotham City was being evacuated by boat upon it being declared no mans land a doctor informs Bruce Wayne about Selinas spinal injury Bruce has Alfred go with Selina to make sure that she gets better Personality Selina grew up on the streets of Gotham and survived by herself going by less then favourable means such as stealing or even killing if necessary to protect her interests At times she appears aloof and selfserving hardened because of her deeply troubled life Selina is often guarded but has shown a degree of loyalty and compassion that she seldom reveals because of her chosen gruff exterior Despite her difficult upbringing and criminal lifestyle she does have some semblance of a conscience Even so Selina has shown a tendency to change sides including more morally questionable ones that may suit her benefit more such as aligning Fish Mooney and Sal Maronis gang Nonetheless she will not betray her close friends as the main reason she decided to not help Gordon escape was because she did not know him well enough to risk the best job she ever got showing a degree of pragmatism on her part Another occasion of such behavior was when she killed Reginald Payne as he would only kill her and Bruce later on Despite her loner ways Selina has a considerable amount of friends and a degree of popularity amongst the criminal underworld including some crime bosses like Fish and Oswald Cobblepot Butch Gilzean also claims that her face opens doors with criminals She has shown empathy to fellow outcasts such as giving shelter and food to an orphaned Ivy Pepper which is a stark contrast towards her usual selffocused ways She cared deeply about her friend Bridgit Pike being one of the few people she hugged or showed any form of compassion towards by advising her to leave her abusive brothers and Using her craftiness and resourcefulness Selina is able to get by and outthink older more experienced and bigger criminals even Jim Gordon She also has the advantage of being smaller and agile than most criminals on account of her young age which makes her an excellent thief Physical appearance Selina is slightly small for her age which proves useful on more than one occasion She has pale skin short curly chestnut hair and green eyes While she tends to look a bit grungy multiple characters including Barbara Kean have noted that if she paid more attention to her physical appearance Selina could be quite pretty Kean refers to her as a true beauty while Edward Nygma and Silver St Cloud have referred to her as street trash Selinas default outfit consists of a leather biker jacket ripped jeans kneehigh boots fingerless biker gloves and a dark gray hoodie with steampunkstyle goggles pushed up in her hair or mounted on top of the hood Her

in Batman 1 Spring 1940 in which she is known as the Cat In her later appearances she takes on the alias of Catwoman Historically a supervillain the character has been one of Batmans most enduring love interests as she is known for having a complex lovehate relationship with him In certain versions of Batmans mythos Selina becomes Bruce Waynes wife and the mother of his child Since the 1990s

http://gothamist.com/2011/07/28/cops_ticketing_cars_for_tinted_wind.php | Cops Ticketing Cars For Tinted Windows On Williamsburg Bridge by Ben Yakas in News on Jul 28 , 2011 2 : 33 pm We ' re nervous over whether our car will get pulled over . . . ( via stylebible It ' s the end of the month , which means it ' s time for the NYPD to get cracking on filling those ticket quotas which have been lying around all month . Ca n ' t just keep going after dead people , sometimes you gotta get them while they ' re still breathing ! To that end , a reader wrote us that cops have been pulling over cars on the Williamsburg Bridge for the past two days to give tickets to people with tinted windshields . Read his account below : Cops set up a blockade yesterday evening and this morning waving over every car with tinted windows . They ' ll ask you to roll up your front window half way and stick a meter on it . In NYS front window can only be tinted to 70 % , which is almost nothing . The stock tints on SUVs and minivans is around 20 % . If you have that on the front windows you ' ll get a ticket . My car came with tints , passed inspection and I got the ticket . Looked it up online and there ' s no getting out of it . In some cases they give tickets for every window so be nice , but I think those back window tickets may be legal . I have rear tints They use the tint - o - meter . It ' s not a standard ticket but you have to send a copy of a receipt showing it ' s been removed within 10 days or you pay a huge fine . I think $ 90 per window plus $ 50 " surcharge " per ticket . I got 1 ticket for 2 windows , but I ' ve heard some people getting a separate ticket for each one . I ' m taking the Manhattan Bridge home today . I think TLC is exempt from this . The reader admits the windows of his Jeep Cherokee do look " quite dark , " but in the past , police have called the offense " a safety violation , " because eye contact between motorists or between a police officer and a motorist " is paramount . " However , you can receive a medical exemption from the NY tint laws , if applicable — check out more info from the DMV here . Call us cynical , but there ' s also the possibility that cops are using the tinted windshields as an excuse to go fishing for other violations .

Disqus actively supports the following browsers : Firefox Chrome Internet Explorer 11 + Safari Schmeep • 7 years ago This is not a new violation - It ' s been around , AND enforced for years , and yes , mostly used to get to other violations . Guest • 7 years ago Seriously ? ! ? ! What about cars that have the front driver and passenger windows as well as the windshield untreated , but have the back windows tinted ? This seems to be standard factory practice for a lot of SUVs and larger cars . I ' ve seen it called ' privacy windows ' and touted in sales literature as a feature . Douche_McGee They ' re only checking the driver ' s / front passenger ' s window and windshield . Eric Gordon The back windows can be 20 , which is what they come from the factory with . The fronts can only be 30 . You can tell the guy tinting your windows you want 20 , but then if you get a ticket you ca n ' t really complain about it . I lived in FL where window tinting is necessary for the heat . Had 20s on my front windows which is legal down there . Came back to NY , and promptly got a ticket for each front window . Twice in two weeks . That sucked . Guest Good to know . Thanks ! Sorry you had to learn that the hard way . M M The official rules in New York for passenger vehicles are that the front and rear both MUST let in 70 % of light . That means basically ANY tint that is installed over factory glass will fail and get a ticket , as most factory glass is already slightly tinted . SUVs and pickups only have to let 70 % of light in through the front driver and passenger windows , the rears can be as dark as you want . You ' re getting confused about the tinting terminology , as well . The tint gets darker as the numbers get smaller . So , like you said , you had " 20 % " in FL , which means that your windows only let in 20 % of available light . For example , if you tell a tint shop that you want 5 % tint , they ' ll tint your car with limo tint , which , as you can tell by the percentage , is virtually impossible to see anything through . In New York City , you can only have 70 % tint on the front and rear windows if you own a regular passenger vehicle , which as I said above , basically means you ca n ' t even tell the window is tinted . Eric Gordon I ' m pretty sure it ' s 30 in the front . 70 does n ' t even make sense to have . Although it ' s been a while since I ' ve been in a tint shop . Cbrink it just means 70 % of light should be able to shine through the window so its 30 % of the light that is blocked by the tint , pretty much if your window is tinted at all and is dirty u can get a ticket , best thing to do is to be nice to the cop and dont lie and make up a stupid excuse or be an a - hole if so you will deff get one I saw a parked car the other day with a tinted front WINDSHIELD . Why would you ever want that done ? I do understand . I remember hearing back in the day this whole law stemmed from a cop being shot as he approached a car during a traffic stop . The windows were tinted so he did n ' t see the driver had a gun . It ' s unfortunate that such a thing now seems to be exploited for ticket quotas . I get that . When I had my other car with the really dark tints in the front , I ' d roll down the windows if approached by a cop at a traffic stop . Even in the back . I did n ' t want them assuming anything . xXxMExXx Aesthetics . Most cars in ads and catalogs have their windshield tinted for that very reason . Queens Crapper http : / / cityroom . blogs . nytim . . . Because you want to commit a crime ? Kate I agree . Tint is annoying . When driving , I find it really helpful to be able to take visual cues from the environment - - for example to be able to tell if the driver in front of me is busy yelling at their kids in the backseat , texting , reading a map , looking for a road sign , or actually paying attention to the road . If I can tell that they ' re distracted , I can give them extra space to do dumb stuff . M M * Excessive * tint is annoying . Something like 50 % is still discrete enough to see pretty much everything through , which is why I personally find the 70 % law in New York and New Jersey a bit annoying . ButtPlugs Good shit gothamist , reporting something that ' s been illegal for years . You can have tinted windows but it depends if the inside of the car is even visible . Stick to bike stories . etypical Nice is this also why 3 mini cop mobiles pulled up outside my office building yesterday and hang around chatting for 25 minutes while they waiting for alt - side parking to kick in so they could ticket ? What a great use of their time . LamarFree • 2 years ago Wait until you are a cop and you have to justify your existence ? I ' ll bet you ' ll be the first one at the alternate side with a box of donuts and some hot coffee , waiting for a whole of bunch of cars to ticket . xXxMExXx As long as you have side - view mirrors on both sides of your car , you can do whatever you want to the windows BEHIND the driver . They do not have to even be transparent . The issue is only what is on the side and in front of the driver . Negative . Check your facts . That rule ONLY applies to SUVs and Trucks . Passenger cars MUST let in 70 % of light on both the front driver ' s side and passenger ' s side windows AS WELL AS letting in 70 % through the rear driver ' s side and passenger ' s side windows . Ben , the enforcement of this law did not begin over the last couple of days . In fact , from Jan 1 , 2011 to Jan 30 , 2011 the NYPD gave 46,973 tickets for this same offense citywide . Do you plan on writing individual posts on all of them ? Emmily_Litella Finally the cops are making themselves useful . fuck those tinted windows . mistermarkdavis These cars keep breaking the law . We need to stop building car lanes for them until they can follow the law . StaticClingWindowTint I have not much time , but I ' ve got many useful things here , love it ! Jean - Claude Suffrena Can I find a good tint supplier in Orlando Florida ? Jean - Claude Suffrena Can I find a good tint supplier in Orlando Florida ? One Way Window Film I ' m so love this blog , already bookmarked it ! Thanks . One Way Window Film That ' s the great article ! I just pass ' n read it , two thumbs up ! ; ) Jay Ouch . The grammatical errors in this article makes me wonder about the American educational system . But I digress , NYS laws are a little beyond ridiculous . New Jersey allows the back windows to be tinted to any percentage . I drive from Jersey to New York a lot so I am wondering if I should even bother getting my windows tinted at all . sungjiny • 6 years ago yeap this exact thing just happened to me today . I ' ve had the pleasure of having six cars in my lifetime . All tinted pitch black with the exception of one . I ' ve never been pulled over . My girlfriend was driving me to work everyday via williamsburg bridge for months and then all of a sudden they pulled us over to give us a ticket . it sucks . I hate them . i wish there was a way to fight the rule . it ' s not enough that we have to pay taxes door glass • 6 years ago Car window tinting is a film that is used to the windows using a powerful mastic .

She writes : I made the Brownstone from scratch pouring over pictures of New York Brownstones and using Google Earth to see the house I lived in as a child . I was born and raised in Brooklyn . I missed home , so what better way to bring New York to Atlanta than with one of its most iconic architectural structures — the Brownstone . The New York inspired Brownstone is 36 inches high and 30 inches wide . It boasts three floors and a basement . The front lights work and are powered by a simple watch battery . Six potted She also calls her work , " a great fixer - upper ! " Which is perhaps why it got no bids during her eBay auction . The price was set at a whopping $ 2,900 . Unsurprisingly , the commenters over at Brownstoner have a lot to say , one noting , " Not impressed . No subdivided rooms , might as well be a Philly Trinity and unauthentic color .

http://gothamist.com/2014/03/08/22_reasons_why_daylight_saving_time.php | 22 Reasons Why Daylight Saving Time Needs To Be Abolished by Ben Yakas in News on Mar 8 2014 240 pm Yes Chris Martin is to blame for this too Shutterstock Jorge Pedro Barradas de Casais After Lena Dunham brings a load of Brooklyn to Saturday Night Live tonight itll be time to turn the clocks forward one hour for daylight saving time not savings the biggest chronological scam in history More enlightened states like Arizona and Hawaii have cast off the chains of DST but NY is still pointlessly tethered to it We agree that its great to leave work and still have an hour or two of sunlight but this country and NY in particular doesnt need the antiquated DST system anymore to be able to get that So due to overwhelming demand weve revisited and expanded our list of reasons why DST should end forever Were talking about a tradition that was started by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 because he was interested in conserving candles And thats only if you assume he was being serious Hes credited with coming up with the idea as a joke It was popularized by William Willett who had a very confusing plan for how to implement it Really the only reason the US adopted it was so that President Woodrow Wilson an avid golf enthusiast could get more hours on the green OK sure and to conserve coal during WWI Theres no argument that DST worked during WWI and WWII But bayonets were also considered effective weapons once upon a time For crissakes Willett is the great great grandfather of Coldplay singer Chris Martin isnt that reason enough to end this The other man who is credited with the proposal is New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson in 1895of course the reason he was in favor of it was so he could study insects longer during daylight hours So really the only reason we have DST is because of a perverse interest in insect culture and unabashed SELFISHNESS and the most lingering legacy of DST is the fact you get the song Yellow stuck in your head and hate yourself for singing along Basically DST was designed to give people more time in sunlight and ostensibly to conserve energybut many prominent studies have proven we get little if any benefits from the practice A US Department of Transportation study in the 1970s concluded that total electricity savings associated with daylight saving time amounted to about 1 percent in the spring and fall monthsand that was offset by the increase in airconditioner use A more recent study in 2006 found similar results which was noted by two academics wrote a NYT OpEd piece in 2008 They argued that not only is there little scientific proof that this reduces energy consumptionits actually more wasteful than not And super annoying which we already knew Chronobiologists agree as well Bora Zivkovic wrote a fantastic essay in which he argues DST is basically destroying our brains Whether or not DST saves energy is the least of the reasons why its a bad idea Much more important are the health effects of sudden hourlong shifts on our bodies and minds The entire world is jetlagged for several days after the changeoverin other words if on March 9th there were an alien attack or if the rats decided to mobilize their forces wed be seriously screwed Oh and you know what backs that up Experts say that traffic accidents tend to spike the first Monday after daylight saving time as motorists struggle with an hour less sleep and darker early morning road conditions So DST leads to death and destruction even without bringing the rats and aliens into this Zivkovic also notes that cows hate DST When will we stop thinking of ourselves and start thinking of our bovine brothers and sisters And get this DST can kill you During the first week of DST theres a spike in heart attacks according to a study in the American Journal of Cardiology The end of daylight saving time causes a decrease in heart attacks Why are we still talking about this and not storming the White House But wait theres more up to 366 lives could be saved a year according to a 2004 study in the journal Accident Analysis Prevention if we abolished this silly backandforth system This isnt just an American problem according to the journal Sleep and Biological Rhythms there is an uptick in suicides in Australian men during the first weeks after daylight saving time America is falling behind the more enlightened antiDST parts of the world Slate points out a 2011 study in the Journal of Neuroscience Psychology and Economics that states students in counties where DST was observed had SAT scores that were 2 percent lower than those of students who didnt have to spring forward or fall back DST is literally making us stupider Stupider AND less productive the sleepiness of DST results in an acute spike in cyberloafing according to a 2012 report in the Journal of Applied Psychology Dont you waste enough time doing that during work yearround as it is Can you really afford to be clicking around on listicles even more But you know who loves DST The French Fry industry A founder of the Daylight Saving Coalition once testified in Congress that fastfood restaurants DO sell more french fries in DST Do we really want to support Big Fry anymore than we already do Who else loves DST besides the Golf and French Fry industries Big Charcoal The barbecue grill and charcoal industries say they gain 200 million in sales with an extra month of daylight savingand they were among the biggest lobbies in favor of extending DST from six to seven months in 1986 says Michael Downing author of Spring Forward The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time Downing a hero who wrote a whole book about how stupid DST is believes we waste much more energy than we save Gas consumption always goes up something the gas industry has known since the 1930s and scuttled to the side Every time the government studies DST it turns out that we are really saving nothing when all is said and done Downing says Okay you might be saying to yourself about now what about SUNSHINE Why would you want to deny us our precious extra hour of direct sunlight you weather fascist Heres the thing we can have it both ways As it stands now eight months of the year were saving daylight so were almost therewill winter really feel all that different if we were saving daylight then as well Why dont we just adopt the time frame we call daylight saving time as regular old time Or viceversa whatever Just pick one already And finally dont you want to do everything in

http://gothamist.com/2014/04/19/go_ahead_and_drink_a_bottle_of_wine.php | Go Ahead And Drink A Bottle Of Wine A Day , Says Alcohol Scientist by Ben Yakas in Food on Apr 19 , 2014 12 : 55 pm Flickr user Michelle Rick The CDC has established that one - in - six Americans binge drinks , but basically everyone else who drinks is , can be , or will become a " problem drinker . " Having said that , it ' s not like the CDC are " alcohol scientists " or anything . But Dr . Kari Poikolainen , who used to work for the World Health Organization as an alcohol expert , is . And according to him , drinking a bottle of wine a day is n ' t bad for you . Although drinking nine bottles of wine a day probably is still bad . Dr . Poikolainen , who has written a book about the positive health affects of alcohol , was previously Research Director at the Finnish Foundation for Alcohol Studies , with a focus on the causes and consequences of alcohol intake . He believes drinking only becomes harmful when people consume more than around 13 units a day — most bottles of wine contain 10 . " The weight of the evidence shows moderate drinking is better than abstaining and heavy drinking is worse than abstaining - however the moderate amounts can be higher than the guidelines say , " he said , according to the Daily Mail . The CDC ' s definition of a binge drinker is someone who consumes five or more drinks ( men ) , or four or more drinks ( women ) , on one occasion lasting 2 - 3 hours . But they consider you a " problem drinker " if you consume 15 or more drinks on average ( men ) , or eight or more drinks on average ( women ) , per week . Which means if you have a few glasses of wine regularly , you ' re probably a problem drinker in their judgey eyes . Also , if you ' re wo n ' t get sunburned , or something . Clearly there are some contradictions within the world of alcohol research , so we advise you take Dr . Poilolainen ' s advice with a grain of salt ( and a bottle of Brooklyn red ) . We ' ve heard similar tales before : two years ago , Dr . Dipak Das from the University of Connecticut , who released many studies focused on the positive effects of red wine on the aging process , was found to have committed more than 100 acts of " data fabrication and falsification , " discrediting his work . Previously in scientific reports on alcohol consumption : drinking alcohol will make you less tired , although it will also destroy your memories , and it ' s really cool with kids and people who like to have sex , although it may give you cancer , or at least ruin your dancing abilities , but hey , you might live forever if you do n ' t die first .

( Gothamist ) A Con Edison substation in Brooklyn spewed dielectric fluid into the East River on Sunday , causing an oil slick that witnesses said could be seen in Queens , and now officials are working to clean up the mess , a Coast Guard spokesperson said today . Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Allyson Conroy said a " catastrophic failure " of a transformer at a Con Edison surrogate substation in Brooklyn caused the oil to be released into the river . ( Dielectric fluid is a mineral oil used to prevent electric discharges and insulate power cables , among other things . ) @ nyc311 pretty sure there was an oil spill in the east river pic . twitter . com / 4hQ9HIYpbR — kroesser + strat ( @ kroesserstrat ) May 7 , 2017 The National Response Center received the report of the spill at 1 : 30 p.m on May 7th . A " safety zone " is currently in effect on the East River , south of a nautical line drawn from Dupont Street in Greenpoint , Brooklyn to East 25th Street in Manhattan , and north of Buttermilk Channel . " We do n ' t know how long the safety zone will be in effect , " Conroy said . While in effect , recreational and human - powered vessels ( kayakers , paddle - boarders , etc . ) are prohibited from the area . And NYC Ferry has announced that customers should expect delays in East River service for the remainder of today due to the incident ; you can follow them on Twitter for updates Service Alert : The East River route will be subject to delays for the remainder of the day as a result of an oil spill on the East River . — NYC Ferry ( @ NYCferry ) May 9 , 2017 Con Ed spokesman Allan Drury confirmed the spill took place at their substation on John Street in DUMBO Brooklyn . “ Con Edison is working to contain and clean up transformer insulating oil that was released from one of our substations in Brooklyn near the East River , " Drury said . " A transformer containing approximately 37,000 gallons of dielectric fluid , mineral oil used for cooling electrical equipment , failed on Sunday May 7th at 12 : 23 p.m , causing the oil to be released from its main tank . Some oil entered the East River and Con Edison responded immediately , placing boom , absorbents and skimmers in the river . Our own employees and environmental Con Edison is still trying to verify how much of the substance was released into the river , and what caused the failure . Witnesses said they saw an oil slick on the East River from Hunter ' s Point South Park in Long Island City around 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon . We ' ll update as more information becomes available . UPDATE 3 : 52 p.m. : Con Edison released an official statement this afternoon : Con Edison is working to contain and clean up transformer insulating oil that was released from one of our substations in Brooklyn near the East River . A transformer containing approximately 37,000 gallons of insulating oil used with electrical equipment , failed on Sunday May 7 at 12 : 23 p.m. , causing much of the oil to be released within the station property in addition to the East River . The equipment failure also caused a system voltage dip that impacted the MTA ’ s signaling systems on Sunday , resulting in a disruption to some train service .

http://gotothebroker.com/voltage_optimisation_faq.html | Voltage Optimisation FAQs • What is voltage optimisation ? A : Voltage Optimisation uses a step - down transformer inside your switch room to reduce over voltage supplied by electricity providers from approximately 242 volts to the European standard 220 volts • Why invest in voltage optimisation ? A : Adopting voltage optimisation will reduce your electricity costs by between 15 % and 20 % and your carbon emissions by the same amount . If your electricity bill is over £ 160,000 annually the payback will be within 18 months of inception . • Are there any disadvantages to deploying a voltage optimizer ? No . The technology has been tried and tested for decades and is actually used by power distribution companies to even out demand spikes at busy times of the day / year . • Are there any other benefits ? Yes . Reducing voltage will prolong the life of some electrical appliances . For specific details read our technical briefing paper # 20100728 " Voltage Optimisation – The Facts not The Fiction " . The units also iron out spikes ( tech . Transients ) in electricity supply avoiding potentially dangerous overloads for equipment such as computer servers . The units also reduce harmonics on the demand side . • Where is the saving ? Electricity supply companies deliver electricity at a higher voltage than is required for effective use of appliances and plant . They do this to avoid losses during transmission to end users which can be caused by resistance , adverse weather , harmonics and a whole array of other conditions . Over voltage is the norm in Europe with average supplies being in the region of 242 volts . All electrical equipment is designed as standard to run ( Single phase ) at 220 volts . Electricity companies bill in kilovolt hours , hence savings of between 15 % and 30 • What are the benefits of Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator units over other Voltage Optimisers in the market ? Voltage Optimisation Units are designed to maintain the supply at the optimum voltage and achieve this dynamically whereas many other product on the market simply give a fixed reduction in Voltage or crudely step change and so do not truly optimise the voltage or offer the same levels of savings or protection from supply variations . A fixed - ratio voltage reduction may cause problems if the supply voltage reduces , whilst a Voltage Optimisation energy saving voltage regulator will automatically compensate for this . In many cases the Voltage Optimisation Unit will safely allow for an even larger voltage reduction and thus enhance the savings . • What is the difference between a transformer and a stabiliser ? A transformer reduces the voltage by a fixed percentage . A stabiliser reduces the voltage to a fixed ( preset ) value . This has numerous advantages - the reduction in voltage ( and therefore saving in power ) can be greater , and the equipment being fed operates at an optimum stable voltage ensuring more consistent performance and longer life . • If I install a voltage reducer , what happens if the mains voltage drops ? Unstable mains voltage ( voltage drops ) are likely to be more prevalent as supply capacity decreases . If the voltage reducer is a transformer , it will continue to reduce the now reduced incoming voltage , which can drop below the safe operating voltage for the equipment being supplied . On the contrary , a stabiliser will automatically compensate by decreasing the degree of voltage reduction , preserving correct equipment operation . • Some suppliers claim that voltage regulation equipments can not be used for voltage reduction purposes . Is that correct ? No , To the contrary , Voltage regulation offers significant advantages over basic fixed or switched tap voltage reduction equipment not least of which being its ability to maintain the supply at a customer adjustable optimum voltage and maintain each phase voltage to within 1 % . • What is the average savings by voltage reduction ? Each individual site will have unique characteristics and a variety of plant and equipment , however , in our experience savings of up to 25 % can be achieved . • What types of load are better suited for energy savings by voltage reduction ? Most loads benefit from voltage reduction as the un - reduced voltage is higher than the optimum design voltage of the equipment . As an example resistive loads and fluorescent lighting generally show the highest savings . • Is it feasible to use Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator units in any industry ? Voltage reduction equipment could be beneficial for any industry sector . We measure suitability based on types of loads and other site specifics . • Can Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator units be used in domestic applications ?

All electrical equipment sold in the EC needs to be capable of working with a supply voltage anywhere between 207 and 253V ( 230V ± 10 % ) . Operating at a fixed , reduced , voltage of 220V ( or even 210V for maximum saving ) is therefore realistic with a Voltage Optimisation ™ Energy Saving Regulator . • What are the benefits of Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator to the environment ? Benefits include reduction in Carbon footprint as well as a reduction in equipment replacement and maintenance requirements . • Does the equipment qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowance ? No . There are currently only 15 product ranges available through ECA and voltage optimisation / voltage regulation is not one of them . This is due to its transformer based technology . However there are interest free loans available through Carbon Trust or Salix . • Can we apply for a Carbon Trust or Salix loan to install Voltage Optimisation units ? Yes . We can help you to complete your application form . • Why do we need to have a site survey and three phase logging to establish possible savings and carbon reduction ? In order to accurately establish site suitability and energy saving potential a detailed survey and electrical logging are required . Surveying a site and understanding the load types that exist on the site and the specific way in which they are applied together with accurate data will enable a full technical analysis and assessment to be made . Without this level of detail any report is likely to be inaccurate and could potentially cause severe operational problems particularly if non regulating products were to be installed . • What happens if Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator units are overloaded ? Just like any electrical appliance , the capacity of the equipment should not be exceeded and protection to ensure this should be added where not already provided as part of the installation . After our initial site survey and three phase logging we will advise on suitable Voltage Optimisation units for your site and we will estimate available capacity for future expansion . We also request site personnel to advise if there is any planned site expansion in the future . • What is the lifetime of your product ? As with any product , the lifetime depends upon its use and treatment over time however , provided the equipment is maintained and operated in accordance with the manufacturer ' s instructions it will give indefinite service life . • Does the Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator unit replace the site transformer ?

Maintenance contracts are a " bolt on " application . • Will my site be without electrical power during maintenance ? Some models incorporate internal No - Break by pass switches alleviating the need for any power disruption during maintenance . Where no internal bypass is available , an external bypass switch is recommended allowing our equipment to be isolated for maintenance . This would involve a brief loss of power . • What is the standard warranty on Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator units ? Voltage Optimisation units come with a standard 1 year manufacturer warranty . This can be extended up to 3 years with a bolt on maintenance contract . • What is the optimum output voltage setting ? All equipment is set at 220V output ; however , this can be set as per customers requirements and adjusted on site to meet optimum voltage for the specific site equipment / load profile . • Can each phase output voltage be set individually ? Yes , although it is normal to ensure all three phases are set at the same Voltage . • Can a customer set the output voltage per their requirements ? Yes . Full details of system adjustments are detailed in the equipment handbook supplied with the unit . • What is the maximum input voltage allowed ? Standard Voltage Optimisation models have a maximum allowable input voltage of 254 V per phase , with alternative maximum input voltages available to order . • What is the correction range ? Standard correction range for the Energy Saving Regulator is 0 - 12.5 % of output setting , although other correction ranges are available . • Can the equipment be provided as either three phase or three single phase units ? Yes . In most circumstances three phase units offer the most suitable style of unit although 3x single phase units can be supplied where there is limited available space at a customer ' s site or access to it . • It is a known factor that not all loads benefit from voltage reduction / optimisation . Could you please identify suitable loads for energy saving by voltage reduction ? Although it is true to say that not all loads offer energy saving from voltage reduction , most loads will benefit from being fed with a reduced voltage as their designed voltage is probably at or closer with a reduced voltage than it is with the unregulated mains supply , and the added benefit of keeping the phases balanced to within 1 % is always preferable . Loads which generally offer significant energy savings include Refrigeration , chillers , motors ( excluding VSD ) , lighting ( most types except those with high frequency ballast ) , some temperature controlled • What is the output accuracy ? Each Phase is individually controlled to within ± 1 % . • What is the surge rating ? 1000 % for 2 seconds 300 % for 2 minutes • What is the supply frequency range ? 47 - 65Hz • Is there any waveform distortion ? No • What is the efficiency ? > 99 % at full load • How is the kVA determined ? kVA is calculated at 415V , before energy savings . • Voltage Optimisation Energy Saving Regulator colour ? White ( RAL9002 ) • Does the equipment require cooling ? Voltage Optimisation equipment is specifically designed to be naturally air cooled and no additional cooling is normally required although the equipment ' s environment must be maintained within the operating specifications as per the data sheet and installed in accordance with the installation manual . • Does the equipment create noise ? Minimal low level intermittent noise whilst compensating for input supply voltage variations . • Does the equipment have surge protection ? Yes , supplied as standard • Does the equipment have over current protection ? No , equipment should be protected with suitably rated fuse or Circuit Breaker . • Does the equipment have metering capabilities ?

http://gourmet.lovetoknow.com/How_to_Eat_Brie_Cheese | Diet Wine Vegetarian Cake Decorating Cocktails Gourmet Cheese How to Eat Brie Cheese How to Eat Brie Cheese By Barbara Rolek Culinary Arts Instructor Contributor : Karen Frazier Source For Brie lovers , simply burying your face in a wheel of this creamy cheese is the perfect way to eat it . For those not in the know , here are some suggestions . The A - Brie - Cs of Eating This Cheese Brie cheese has a soft , almost molten core and a harder , grayish outer rind . People often wonder if the rind is edible and the answer is a resounding " Yes ! " It ' s meant to be eaten and actually adds to the flavor and character of Brie . The basic information for how to eat this cheese includes : Store Brie cheese in its original container in the refrigerator . Once the seal has been broken and the cheese is cut , wrap it in parchment paper or waxed paper so the rind can continue to breathe and stay dry . Do n ' t use plastic wrap ( once it ' s been baked , plastic wrap is OK for leftovers ) . Prior to eating , remove the Brie from the refrigerator one hour before serving so it comes to room temperature and is at its best . Serve the entire wheel on a cheese board or plate and cut one or two pieces ( but no more , because the cheese will dry out ) to give guests an idea of the proper size to portion for themselves . Serve the Brie with crusty bread or plain - flavored crackers that wo n ' t compete with the taste of the cheese . This is not the time to pull out the nacho chips . Brie pairs well with fruits like apples , pears , grapes , and berries , and unsalted nuts like pecans , almonds , and walnuts . Classic wine pairings with Brie include acidic , herbaceous , dry whites like Pinot Gris ( Pinot Grigio ) or Sauvignon Blanc . White wines made in the méthode champenoise ( Champagne , Cava , sparkling whites ) also pair well with Brie . Eating Baked Brie Baked Brie is a soft , warm , melty , and delicious way to enjoy this cheese . It can be baked as is or with toppings ( see below ) or wrapped in puff pastry ( Brie en Croute ) or phyllo dough Store baked Brie tightly wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for no longer than three days . To reheat , remove plastic wrapping , place in a rimmed pan and bake at 350 F until soft , about 5 to 10 minutes . Baked Brie With Cranberries Source In this recipe , perfect for the fall and winter holidays , Brie is crowned with cooked cranberries , pecans and nutmeg . Ingredients Yield : 4 to 6 servings 1 ( 12 - ounce ) bag fresh cranberries 2 / 3 cup sugar 2 / 3 cup water Zest of 1 orange 1 ( 8 - ounce ) wheel Brie cheese 1 / 4 cup chopped pecans 1 / 4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg Instructions In a medium saucepan , cook cranberries , sugar , water , and orange zest until cranberries pop and sauce thickens , about 5 to 10 minutes . Cool the cranberries in the refrigerator , tightly covered . Heat oven to 350 F . Place a round of Brie in an ovenproof , shallow dish ( like a glass pie plate ) and spread with the cooled cranberry mixture . Sprinkle chopped pecans and freshly grated nutmeg over the top . Bake for 5 to 10 minutes until the Brie is softened . Serve with slices of crusty bread . Baked Brie With Roasted Garlic In this appetizer recipe , you can pop the Brie in the oven 10 minutes before the garlic is finished roasting for them to be ready at the same time . Ingredients Yield : 4 to 6 servings 2 whole heads garlic 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 ( 8 - ounce ) wheel Brie cheese 1 loaf French or Italian bread , sliced Instructions Heat oven to 350 F . Slice the top off garlic heads , exposing the cloves . Place the garlic with the exposed cloves facing up in a glass pan . Drizzle the garlic with olive oil and sprinkle it with sea salt . Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour until the garlic is soft . Ten minutes before the garlic is finished roasting , place the Brie round in a shallow , ovenproof pan and bake for 5 to 10 minutes , until the cheese is soft . Remove Brie and garlic from oven . Serve the cheese with slices of baguette and the roasted garlic on a serving plate with small forks to facilitate removal and spreading of the garlic . To eat , remove a clove of garlic and spread it on the baguette . Top with the Brie cheese . Toppings for Baked Brie Consider the following toppings and preparations for baked Brie cheese . Slivered almonds Pecans cooked in butter , brown sugar , and cinnamon Sliced strawberries Apricot preserves Raspberry preserves Caramelized pears Caramelized apples Ideas for Brie Beyond Baking Brie is such a noble cheese , doing anything more to it than baking and eating it neat seems , well , indecent . But Brie can be used as the star in a variety of recipes . Simply swap out ( or add in ) Brie to your taste . For example : In an open - faced grilled cheese sandwich As a crepe or egg roll filling Baked in a strata To make a sort of chicken cordon bleu In macaroni and cheese On a pizza or tart In a sauce over pasta In mushroom soup To stuff into bread dough To transform that old faithful artichoke dip How Brie Is Made Brie is a soft cow ' s milk cheese that is named after the province in France in which it originated . It is made by adding rennet to raw milk , heating it to 98.6 F and then casting into molds , where it is drained for about 20 hours . After this process is complete , it is removed from the mold , salted and injected with cheese mold . Brie is then aged for five or six weeks . Brie cheese should be mild and slightly sweet in flavor . If aged for several months to a year , the flavor becomes stronger . If over - ripened , the cheese takes on flavors of ammonia Brie Is an Equal Opportunity Cheese Whether you ' re a cheese connoisseur or a neophyte , Brie ' s mild , creamy flavor lends itself to every palate . For the best flavor , it must be eaten at room temperature or baked into melty gooeyness . Other than that , dressing it up in pastry , taking it neat with a slice of apple , or using it as an ingredient in a recipe is entirely your call .

http://gov-record.org/minnesota-birth-records/ | Birth Record Search Find out about someone ' s : BIRTH NAME BIRTH LOCATION & DATE OF BIRTH PARENT ' S NAME & INFORMATION MUCH MORE . . Minnesota Birth Records To a person , his birth record is probably the most important record in his life . This single piece of paper establishes the fact that he is alive and traces his roots to his parents . This is also the first official record that a person would have because it is made mere moments after the person is born . There is , therefore , a very great presumption that what is written on his birth certificate is true . The reason why there is such a thing called Minnesota Birth Records is because birth records are considered to be so important that they must be guarded . A single stray birth certificate could establish a new identity for a person , thus , it is not hard to imagine criminals and those who wish to leave their past behind obtaining new birth records . In the state of Minnesota , the primary government office that has the responsibility of issuing new birth records and keeping them safe is the Minnesota Department of Health . As part of their mandate , the department keeps birth records , but note that because of the time frame involved , the department does not keep birth records from before the year 1900 . Although there is little need for such records , in case a person requires a birth record that was issued prior to the year 1900 , the searcher would have to contact the local issuing To request for a birth certificate from the Minnesota Department of Health , the searcher would first have to download a form from the website of the same and fill up the same . Note that the form must be notarized and that the person requesting for the record must meet the minimum requirements required before ordering for the certificate . Once the form is completed and notarized , the searcher should mail the same to the department of health together with the required fee in the form of a money order payable to the department and a self - Another source of birth records could be the World Wide Web , specifically ; several online databases that do provide birth record information . Some of these databases are affiliated with the government , but a great many of them are actually privately owned and run , though this does not mean that they are less reliable because most of these do provide the same information as the government offices and databases . Internet searches could be conducted from the homes of the searcher and because they are internet searches , they are devoid of lines . Information from these Birth Records Minnesota To request for birth records at the Minnesota Department of Health , follow the given procedure Download the relevant form from the website of the department . Make sure that you meet the minimum requirements to be issued a birth record . Fill up the form and have it notarized upon completion . Make a money order to correspond to the required fee in accordance with the schedule of fees . Attach the same to the notarized application form .

http://gov.mb.ca/agriculture/crops/production/forages/print,alfalfa-seed-production.html | Alfalfa Seed Production Introduction The recommendations for alfalfa seed production techniques are presented as a general guideline of the steps involved . Adaptation to local conditions is a prime consideration . Field Selection The most important factor in field selection is the weed spectrum present . Good recommendations for perennial weed control in established alfalfa seed fields are not presently available . Consequently , it is important to eliminate perennial weed problems before seeding down to alfalfa . Sweet clover is considered a weed in these circumstances . It is advisable to avoid fields with a history of sweet clover to control the problem of carry - over seed in the soil . The importance of starting alfalfa seed production on a clean field , requires field management practices to start two years earlier . Certified production requires using land that has not grown alfalfa two years prior to seed down . Begin by assessing the weed spectrum and initiating an appropriate weed control program . Do not plant rapeseed the two years prior to alfalfa establishment to avoid the problem of volunteer rapeseed . Cereals are the preferred crops to grow at this time as they allow the broadest range of weed control . If perennial grasses , such as quack grass Although alfalfa is adapted to a wide range of soil conditions , best results are achieved when using deep , medium textured , well drained soils . Avoid poorly drained or saline soils . For certified production ensure neighbouring fields pose no hazard . Keep other alfalfa at least 165 feet ( 50 metres ) from the seed field . A field sheltered from the wind benefits the bees , increasing the chances for pollination in the field . Keep in mind the difficulties of maintaining isolation posed by removing stray alfalfa plants from bush areas . Another requirement for Seedbed Preparation The land should be well worked to produce a firm fine seedbed . Some emphasis must be placed on making the bed firm enough to allow for a relatively shallow seed placement . We recommend placing the alfalfa seed no deeper than 1 / 2 inch ( 2 cm ) . A firm seedbed also allows moisture to move upward in the soil profile and provides more upward in the soil profile and provides more moisture for the germinating seed . As a rule of thumb , the heel of your shoe should not sink more than 1 / 4 Companion Crops Although most growers still use a companion or nurse crop when establishing new fields , an increasing number now plant without one . On sandy soils a companion crop may be necessary to control wind and water erosion . The advantages to seeding without a nurse crop are : less competition for light , water and nutrients greater seedling vigor more flexibility in your weed control program increased winter hardiness increased seed production in the first harvest year The negative aspect of not using a nurse crop is the increased opportunity for the weeds to flourish . The loss in income from not using a nurse crop is normally offset by the increased seed production in the first year . Flax and canola are the preferred companion crops . Seed them in a separate operation , prior to and at right angles to the alfalfa seeding . This method minimizes the competition between the alfalfa and the nurse crop . Another method is to exclude the nurse crop from every fourth or fifth run of your seeder , drilling the alfalfa using only these runs . Depth control in this case usually ends up as a compromise with the alfalfa being seeded slightly too deep . When a companion crop is used , its seeding rate should be cut by Seeding Rates , Dates , and Row Spacing It has been shown at numerous locations throughout North America that the highest seed yields are obtained from fields containing from 14,000 to 30,000 plants per acre ( 35,000 to 75,000 plants per hectare ) planted in 24 inch to 48 inch ( 60 to 120 cm ) rows . The narrower rows and higher plant populations are more suited to the moister areas of the province . Seed yields from stands grown much denser than this have suffered . The following table , from work conducted at the University of Manitoba , illustrates the effect of stand density on Table 1 : Plant Population and Seed Yields in 24 inch ( 60 cm ) Rows at Glenlea , Manitoba - 1971 Plant Population Average Seeded Yields Per acre Per ha . lbs / acre kg / ha 174,000 430,000 212 237 87,000 215,000 306 343 43,000 106,000 350 392 30,000 74,000 388 435 22,000 54,000 518 580 14,000 35,000 488 547 10,000 25,000 477 534 To achieve seed stands of these densities , growers have been sowing 0.5 to 1.0 lb / acre ( 0.5 to 1.0 kg / ha ) . Considering alfalfa contains about 220,000 seeds per pound ( 485,000 seeds per kilogram ) even these low seeding rates can be too high . However , even under the best managed conditions there is considerable seedling mortality before the stand produces its first crop . If the stand is too dense it can be thinned out at a later date . Cutting your seeding rate to below 0.5 lb / acre ( 0.5 The most successful establishments have been obtained by very early spring seedings . Seed as early as the land can be worked . This makes best use of the early spring moisture and allows the seedling to develop a good root system before the heat of the summer . A lack of soil moisture and a relatively short growing season associated with August seedlings generally add up to less than a 50 percent chance of establishing a stand . Even when successful , they rarely produce a satisfactory seed crop the following year . Variety Selection Certified seed has always produced higher returns than common seed . It involves very little extra expense or labor . Producing certified seed requires planting foundation seed of Canadian varieties or registered foreign variety seed . The Canadian Seed Growers Association publication " Regulations and Producers for Pedigreed Seed Crop Production " outlines the rules governing pedigreed alfalfa production . When selecting the right alfalfa variety consider the following points : variety marketability long range market outlook relative seed yielding ability seed stock availability It is strongly recommended that growers discuss marketing opportunities with the various seed companies buying alfalfa , before making their variety decisions . These companies can also provide the grower with stock seed of proprietary or private varieties , and public varieties . If the grower chooses to produce one of the older Canadian public varieties , then seed can be purchased from the Canadian Forage Seed Project through the local agricultural extension agent . Inoculation and Fertilization Inoculate alfalfa seed with the proper nitrogen fixing bacteria just prior to seed down . The best method is dampening the seed slightly with water or a sticker solution , adding the inoculant and mixing thoroughly . Suitable sticker solution can be made from 2 tablespoons per quart ( 25 millilitres per litre ) of corn syrup in 1 litre ( 1 quart ) of water . Apply just enough of the solution to dampen the seed . Once inoculated , sow the seed as soon as possible . Weed Control Even in clean fields , growers will find it necessary to employ herbicides when establishing their alfalfa . With the low seeding rate and relatively wide row spacings , new alfalfa fields offer little competition to weeds . Consult with local extension personnel for the most effective herbicides for their areas , and consult Manitoba Agriculture ' s Guide to Crop Protection for the appropriate rates of application . Where no companion crop has been used , EPTC ( Eptam ) , preplant incorporated , generally provides good control of annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds . When using Eptam , care should be taken to ensure that it is incorporated immediately after applying it to the soil . Then , follow up with a second incorporation to thoroughly mix the chemical into the seedbed . Trifluralin ( Treflan ) has also been used by growers as a preplant incorporated herbicide . Pursuit is also registered for grass and broadleaf weed control in seedling alfalfa . Weeds can also Guide to Crop Protection for current recommendations . If a companion crop has been used , the list of herbicides is shortened . Therefore , when choosing the companion crop , bear in mind potential weed problems . Check to see if chemicals are available for their control . One advantage to an early seeding without a nurse crop is the possibility of applying Velpar when the stand becomes dormant in the fall . If the alfalfa comes into full bloom by fall it can be considered well enough established to apply Velpar in the first year . This will then give good control of annual grasses and several broadleaved weeds . Note that Simizine or Princep is not registered for application in the seedling year . Once the stand is established , Princep and Pursuit can be used to control grass and broadleaf weeds . Velpar can be used for broadleaf weed control . Some growers also use row crop cultivation in the seed production years in an effort to control weeds but this can lead to root pruning and reduced seed yields . For further information refer to Manitoba Agriculture , Food and Rural Initiatives published annually by Manitoba Agriculture , Food and Rural Initiatives . Insect Control One of the major constraints to seed production on the Canadian prairies has proven to be insect pests attacking the alfalfa plant . Over the past four to five years , growers have repeatedly identified lygus plant bugs , aphids , and grasshoppers as the biggest problems to face in increasing seed production . The first step in any control program is to monitor the seed fields and identify the insects before they can cause too much damage . Fortunately , there are cultural practices , such as burning and selective pesticides that can be employed to control these pests . For further information refer to Manitoba Agriculture , Food and Rural Initiatives publication , Field Scouting Guide and Agriculture Canada publication 1435 , Insect Pests . Harvesting After pollination , it takes five to six weeks for the plant to produce mature seed . Therefore , growers can plan on starting harvest approximately six weeks after either the bees are removed from the field or the crop has finished blooming . The crop can be swathed , then wait until two - thirds to three - quarters of the seed pods have turned dark brown or black . It is advisable to swath when it is damp enough to avoid the loss of seed pods . Swathing in the direction of the prevailing wind helps to prevent To cut down on seed losses , many growers are turning to desiccation and straight combining . Normally , this involves sprayingReglone to kill the green tissue and dry out the standing crop . However , any early hard frost will give the same effect . After spraying Reglone , the crop will be ready to combine in 3 to 5 days . Stand Maintenance A well established , clean seed field needs surprisingly little maintenance to keep it productive to the full life of stand . Weed control and insect pest control programs are carried out on an annual basis . Spring burning for pest management also controls most diseases . Generally , growers do not apply an annual application of fertilizer unless their stands show an obvious nutrient deficiency that can be confirmed by soil test and plant tissue analysis . One factor in maintaining yields that is frequently overlooked is the stand density . Most stands thicken up after the first or second harvest and should be thinned back to 30,000 plants per acre ( 75,000 plants per hectare ) . There is no standard method used for thinning but most frequently cross - cultivating is used . Often it requires more than one thinning operation to achieve the desired results . Growers are advised that thinning in the spring is preferred , as fall thinning can lead to increased winter injury . | [

We created this page in order to answer any specific questions you might have about the Pay Scale . Since many users seem to have similar question , we ’ ll continue to post the questions we receive here , along with the best answers we can muster . Below is a list of questions from the forums , some with multiple answers posted . If you do n ’ t see your salary inquiry here , be sure to post it in the GovCentral discussion forums . ● Clarification on the Ten Steps ● Non - government Work Experience ● Does Locality Affect Pay Rates ? What is an Automatic Step Increase ? Negotiating My Salary Clarification on the Ten Steps Does the fact that there are 10 steps to each grade mean that it takes 10 years to reach top pay with the federal government ? Also , if one is hired at the 5 / 7 / 9 level and the position has a full performance level of GS 12 / 13 , do you receive steps at the same time you are advanced to the next grade ? – FutureCFE Answer 1 : If you are hired as a 5 / 7 / 9 … You begin as a 5 after a year of work you go up for a performance review . If your boss feels you should be promoted to a 7 you will be and so on . In most cases , this promotion is done without competition “ non - competitive promotion ” . When you accept a new job it ’ s important to check out the steps … The best time to take advantage of the step system is BEFORE you accept a job offer . Take this example : “ Joe , is offered a GS - 12 position , he knows he needs a few steps in order to reach his current salary . Upon accepting the job , Joe negotiates a GS - 12 position step 5 . ” This way “ Joe ” does n ’ t have to wait 10 years to reach his full potential as a GS - 12 and gives him and advantage if he applies to be a GS - 13 . Answer 2 : It takes way more than 10 years to reach salary full potential even though there are 10 steps . Steps 1 - 4 take a year , 5 - 7 take two years , and 8 - 10 take 3 years … Answer 3 : If you start in the government as a GS 5 , you could apply for a GS 7 in one year . Then at the end of the next year you could apply for and land a GS 9 . And the next year you could apply for and land a GS 11 . Then one year later go for a GS 12 . Next year 13 . Next year 14 . Next year 15 . 6 years from GS 5 to 15 . That would be amazing . But legally according to the rules , you could do this . The steps within the grade are for people who stay in the same grade for a long time . If you started as a GS 5 and stayed there , you could move to a GS 5 , step 2 the next year . And the next year you would go automatically to a Step 3 . This is not a fast way to get promoted . But these moves happen without applying for a job . They just happen . But things are changing in government and these automatic step increases will be a process in the past pretty soon . Non - government Work Experience : If I have a few years of experience outside the government and decide to apply for a government job , where would I start at on this scale ? I ’ ve seen some jobs I am qualified for state that equivalent experience that would be obtained at the GS - 5 level is required . Does this mean that I ca n ’ t apply for the GS - 7 position that was posted … and if so , why is it posted as open to the public , if the public is n ’ t working on that same scale ? – Taishan Answer 1 : Starting salaries depend on the selecting officials discretion . Sometimes you can negotiate your salary within a pay grade , in some cases you can even receive recruitment bonuses , student loan repayment , and relocation expenses . You can apply for whatever grade you think your skills qualify you for . This may help you : Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions , http : / / www . opm . gov / employ / qualifications / index . asp Answer 2 : Think of the pay scale ( 5 , 7 , 9 , etc ) in terms of the private sector . Many jobs will have subsets within the HR system that provides salary ranges ( Accountant I , Accountant II , Lead Accountant , Accounting Supervisor I ) . Each level tends to have a separate set of duties and qualifications . In theory . If you read the requirements closely , they should give you and idea of what duties are expected of a grade level . If you have any questions about how experience equates to a level , OPM publishes information or your local library might have a copy of the plum book . Does Locality Affect Pay Rates ? I was just offered a job at GS12 level . But when I asked to confirm the advertised salary , they say the starting salary is really $ 5,000 less than what was advertised . They claim not to know why the computer pulled the higher amount in the job announcement . Is this kind of “ error ” common with federal employment ? Is there any recourse for me ? ( F.Y.I – I have a copy of the job announcement . The Human Resource woman that I spoke with in Washington , D.C. pulled it up and said - steinsview Answer : Ask if the advertised salaries was posted for a certain “ locality ” since GS - Pay is adjusted to the local labor markets . E.G. , San Francisco and New York City may have an 8 % differential since they are high cost areas , for the same grade and step . Learn more about Locality Pay Rates What is an Automatic Step Increase ? Can someone expand on the references to “ automatic step increases ” being history soon ? – Robert4486 Answer : Some agencies , particularly the Dept . of Defense , are no longer on the GS scale . They are on a system called “ pay - banding ” . Instead of being a GS - 15 step 1 you are given a range in which your pay can be , and promotions / pay increases are determined by performance reviews . For more information visit : http : / / www . govexec . com / dailyfed / 1001 / 101801pb . htm Negotiating My Salary I just interviewed for a position that I have a very good shot at . But how does one go about the negotiations ? I put on my application that I would accept a GS - 11 or 12 [ the position was advertised as 9 / 11 / 12 ] , both of which would be a pay cut for me , but I wo n ’ t go below a 11 step 6 . A 15 % paycut is the most I can take . Because this is almost a dream job for me , I do n ’ t care about the grade . Negotiating advice needed ! - Luckylou Some say you ca n ’ t negotiate but I have never heard nor experienced this . The government has put some things in place to keep up with private sector jobs . Maybe people do n ’ t know about these things . You ’ d have to talk with HR about your pay and steps . Be ready to defend your case if you want the pay and the job . Need advice on negotiating ?

Tweet 27 Comments Office of Personnel Management August 18 , 2008 Q : Why are you going to investigate me ? I ’ m only applying for an entry level job and I do n ’ t need a security clearance . A : The interests of the national security require that all persons privileged to be employed in the departments and agencies of the government shall be reliable , trustworthy , of good conduct and character , and of complete and unswerving loyalty to the United States . This means that the appointment of each civilian employee in any department or agency of the government is subject to investigation . The scope of the investigation will vary , depending on the nature of the position and the degree of harm that an individual in that position could cause . The requirement to be investigated applies whether or not the position requires a security clearance ( in order to have access to classified national security information ) . Q : Do I have to answer all the questions on the form ? A lot of that information is already on my resume . A : Yes . The resume is part of the application process . The Security Questionnaire is part of the investigation process . All of the questions should be answered fully , accurately , and honestly . Q : What will happen if I refuse to give you some of this personal information ? A : The investigation is a job requirement . Providing the information is voluntary , but if you choose not to provide the required information , you will not meet the requirements of the job and will therefore not be considered further . If you are already employed by the Federal government , your appointment will be terminated . The courts have upheld this principle . Q : What should I do if I remember something later , after I ’ ve filled out the form and turned it in ? A : Immediately notify the security officials to whom you submitted the questionnaire . Q : I ’ m not a criminal ; why do you want my fingerprints ? A : So that we can verify your claim that you ’ re not a criminal by checking the FBI ’ s fingerprint files . And , Executive Orders require that all Federal employees be fingerprinted . Q : My brother works for one of the largest companies in the world , but he did n ’ t have to go through all this ; why should I ? A : The rules , regulations , laws , and orders governing the hiring and retention of Federal employees are specific . There is no requirement for private employers to use the same guidelines as public employers . Of course , if your brother ’ s job with the private employer required him to have access to classified national security information as a contractor to the Federal government , even your brother would have to be investigated . Q : Will I get a chance to explain some of the answers I give you ? A : Yes . Many types of background investigation involve a personal interview . Moreover , you may submit information on extra pages with your questionnaire if you feel you need to more fully explain details or circumstances of the answers you put on the form . Q : Who gets to see the report you prepare about me ? Do I ? A : The only persons authorized to see this information are Personnel Security , Suitability , and Investigations professionals who have been investigated and have a demonstrated need to review the information . You may request a copy of your investigation file under provisions of the Privacy Act . For an OPM investigation request , write to OPM - IS , FOIP , Post Office Box 618 , Boyers , PA 16018 - 0618 . You must include your full name , Social Security Number , date and place of birth , and you must sign your request . Q : I ’ m physically handicapped ; will that hurt my chances for a job ? A : No . It is against Federal law to discriminate based on a handicapping condition . Q : Who decides if I get the job or a security clearance ? A : Adjudications officials at the agency requiring the investigation will evaluate your case and communicate their recommendation to the appropriate personnel or security office . Q : Are you going to tell my boss that I ’ m looking for a job ? A : It is a requirement of a background investigation that your current employer be contacted . We must verify your employment data and make other inquiries concerning your background . If you are a Federal employee or contractor , it may be that your current employer needs you to have a security clearance for the work you do . In other instances , generally you are asked to complete the investigative form for an investigation and clearance only after a conditional offer of employ - ment has been made for a position requiring a security clearance . Q : Does n ’ t the FBI conduct all Federal background investigations ? A : Actually , the U.S. Office of Personnel Management , the Department of Defense , and a few other agencies share this responsibility . The FBI mostly conducts investigations of high level Presidential appointees ( Cabinet Officers and agency heads ) and staff who may work at the White House directly for the President . Q : A lot of contractors say that you need a security clearance to apply for their jobs . How can I get a clearance in advance so I can apply for these jobs ? Can I pay for it myself ? Security Clearance Guide How to Obtain a Security Clearance Security Clearance 101 : Maximize Your Earnings Obtaining a Security Clearance The Benefit of a Security Clearance 3 Levels of Clearance Do n ' t Let Your Security Clearance Expire What Is a Background Investigation ? Clearance Only Job Fairs A : The Office of Personnel Management has no procedure for an individual to independently apply for an investigation or security clearance . Clearances are based on investigations requested by Federal agencies , appropriate to specific positions and their duties . Until a person is offered such a position , the government will not request or pay for an investigation for a clearance . Once a person has been offered a job ( contingent upon satisfactory completion of an investigation ) , the government will require the person to complete a Standard Form 86 , Questionnaire for National Security Positions We know that some Defense Department contractors require applicants to already have a clear - ance , and they have the right to administer their personnel hiring procedures the way they want as long as they do n ’ t discriminate based on prohibited factors ( such as race or religion ) . Persons who already have clearances are those who are already employed by a government contractor ( or by the government itself ) and are looking for other job opportunities . Q : How long does a background investigation take ? A : Because of the number of variable factors involved , there is no definitive answer to this question . The kind of investigation to be conducted ( which , for example , can be based on the level of a security clearance needed ) will depend on the reason for the investigation . Different kinds of background investigations have different requirements for the scope of the investigative coverage to be obtained . Some persons have more complex backgrounds than other persons and , consequently , more time is required to conduct a complete investigation . Sometimes , the investigative workload of the investigating agency is such that Investigators can not work at their ordinary levels of efficiency and timeliness .

Needless to say every day thousands of companies check for government bids .

http://govegas.about.com/od/familyfun/a/kidsinlv.htm | United States Nevada Las Vegas Guide Where Do You Take The Kids In Las Vegas ? Family Vacation in Las Vegas ? By Zeke Quezada Updated 12 / 05 / 17 kennejima / Flickr / CC BY 2.0 If you are planning that trip to Las Vegas and you are wondering where to take the kids this should give you an idea of the kind of money you will spend while entertaining the offspring . I have two children and I have a tendency to spend my share of time on the Las Vegas strip . If you are looking at the possibility of a trip to Las Vegas because one of your kids is involved in an activity that requires travel for tournaments and competitions then this is a good place for you to start . Important to note , if you are looking to be frugal while in Las Vegas consider the choice of hotel when making a decision on your Las Vegas vacation . Do a little research and compare room rates before booking . Saving a few extra dollars helps when the kids are in tow . Tip : If you are in town for a competition or tournament make sure to check with the tournament host to see if there is a group rate at a specific hotel . That will probably save you a considerable amount on accommodations . My Two Kids Enjoy : Las Vegas Springs Preserve - Stroll through desert trails , indoor interactive exhibits , and various gardens . You will be impressed by this place and your children will have plenty of fun . Adventuredome Theme Park at Circus Circus - Rollercoaster , water ride , and carnival games . Yeah , the kids will hate it . You should consider spending at least 4 hours to play at Adventuredome . See some pictures of Adventuredome Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay - The Aquarium is nice but it can be expensive relative to other aquariums across the country . They do continue to improve the aquarium and it is looking very impressive . Hiking in Red Rock Canyon Stratosphere Tower rides and Attractions The LINQ Aria Art Collection at City Center Any of these family attractions usually work for kids : Family attractions Arcades The kids can also enjoy arcades and games at : NY / NY - With a roller coaster and plenty of modern arcade games you might have as much fun as the kids . Gameworks - Located next to the MGM Grand Hotel this large arcade offers plenty of games and big screens that keep the adults as well as the kids entertained . Excalibur - My kids tend to leave the midway at Excalibur with far too many stuffed animals . Our last trip netted a guitar , two frogs , and an oversized basketball . At the Forum Shops at Caesars , you can visit the talking statues as well as the giant fish tank and cheap food options exist in the food court just inside the casino from the mall entrance . Part of the 100 Days of Fun This Summer in Las Vegas Cheap Vacation Of course , if you ' re looking to have a " Cheap Vacation " , that is a relative term in Las Vegas because it all depends on if you include your gambling budget in your overall cost . I will assume that your budget for kids activities is different than your gambling budget . Food for the Kids I guess you have to feed the kids so why not the ever convenient food courts . In Las Vegas , food courts can be quick , easy and cheap . The Venetian has plenty of options for your children at reasonable prices . If your kids are into sandwiches this could be your best bet for cheap meals . Try the Carnegie Deli at the Mirage , order one sandwich and the entire family eats a decent meal . Is that stretching the budget enough ? If you need a restaurant where you can take the kids you might want to try Margaritaville ( I know it might not be the best place for kids with alcohol and sailing music , you ' re already in Las Vegas you know ) They have a good kids menu and these giant pirates come around and make balloon animals for the kids . If the adults stay away from the Margarita ' s you might get away for a decent price . 800 Degrees Pizza Shake Shack Yard House Slice of Vegas Buca di Beppo Check out some more Family Friendly restaurants Looking for a place to stay ? Here is a quick look at cheap hotels in Las Vegas . Need a few ideas on saving money on a cheap vacation to Las Vegas ? Need a Travel Deal to Las Vegas ? This is your resource for comparing prices and options when planning a trip to Las Vegas . Here are a few more ways to save money on your family vacation : Cheap Guide to Las Vegas Easy Tips for saving money in Las Vegas Free Attractions in Las Vegas Cheap hotels in Las Vegas The Flamingo is centrally located and a good place to stay . I do n ’ t usually recommend it as a good family hotel because if your children like the arcade games it is a walk to the south strip where the hotels that still cater to families exist . However , good deals can be found at the Flamingo Las Vegas so it should be considered . During the summer the pool is a great way to entertain the kids I usually like the Monte Carlo for families because it is nice , relatively inexpensive and it has fast food in their food court . McDonald ' s , Pizza , salads , Starbucks . The Monte Carlo Pub and Brewery has a decent kids menu . Across the street are the theaters , Gameworks , and more fast food at the MGM Grand . Next door is the NY / NY and their arcades , roller coasters and virtual reality games . They also have a food court that is n cheap fast food . You are also steps from the Excalibur and the Luxor and each has places to entertain the kids . Childcare in Las Vegas As for childcare , yes some hotels offer childcare and in the summer you can find the higher end resorts will have a kids club or two . I would suggest that you find the hotel you will stay at and then ask them for references . I never feel comfortable recommending a place to leave your children because I just never feel comfortable leaving my children with complete strangers . I ’ m neurotic ! However , I have friends who swear by it and love the idea of getting a few hours of free time with their children in their own room with hired help from the hotel .

http://governmentisgood.com/articles.php?aid=23 | Government is Good What is Really Wrong with Government Print this Article Share on Facebook Tweet this " If we want our government to live up to its potential as a force for good in society , we need it to be as democratic as it can be . " The real problem with American government is that it is not as democratic as it should be . Affluent special interests have too much power in our political system and the public has too little . While it is crucial to acknowledge all that is right with American government , we must not turn a blind eye to what is wrong with it . Although government on the whole is good , there are things wrong with government – things that need to be fixed . And fixing those problems is necessary if we are to revive Americans ’ support for government . The better we can make government , the more we can expect citizens to oppose efforts to undermine this vital institution . Readers of the other articles on this site might have gotten the impression that I was suggesting that there are no serious problems with American government . But my argument has not been that there is nothing wrong this institution – only that it is not what conservatives say it is . It is simply not the case that government grossly overtaxes us , or that bureaucracies are incredibly wasteful , or that Big Brother is constantly threatening our freedoms . What is wrong is something altogether different – and something more disturbing . The main fault of our government is that it is not as democratic as it should be . We have what some have called a " deficit of democracy . " The problem is that American government is now increasingly responsive to special interests and not the public interest . This is why many people are frustrated and disappointed with our political system . Instead of a democracy where all citizens have an equal say in the governing process , some organizations and individuals have a disproportionate and unfair influence over what the government does . The result is that the power and greed of the few too often win out over the needs of the many . This problem is getting worse and it is increasingly limiting how good government can be in the United States . The less responsive a government is to its citizens , the less liable it is to act in the public interest . The more it favors the interests of the few over the interests of the many , the less likely it is to do all the good things it could do . Most of the substantial achievements of government described in this book have occurred because it was reacting to demands made by the public to deal with serious The Public ’ s Disappointment with American Democracy While many politicians ignore our democratic deficit , most Americans are painfully aware of it . Surveys find that they are increasingly concerned that their democratic government is not working for them the way that it should . In the last ten years , the number of people who say that “ public officials do n ’ t care about what people like me think ” has ranged from 50 % to 75 % – up from 36 % forty years ago . Polls show that many in the public also have a very clear sense of who really is 1 This perception – that government is working for the few , not the many – is part of what fuels public hostility toward politicians and government in general . A 2000 survey found that over 60 % of respondents cited the undue influence of special interests as a reason for not trusting government . 12 The less democratic a government is , the less legitimate its actions are and the more alienated the public becomes . In this book , I have been arguing that much of modern cynicism about government is unfounded – but in this case , it is not . It makes a great deal of sense to be cynical about a government which seems to consistently favor special interests over the public interest . When people feel that they have little say over what government does and see that their government is not working democratically , it is only natural to The Real Problem : The Mal - Distribution of Private Power But while it is natural to lay the blame for our unresponsive public institutions at the doorstep of politicians and the government itself – this is a mistake . Undemocratic government is just the symptom . The ultimate source of this political illness lies in society at large – in the private sector . The real problem is that private economic power – primarily money – is not distributed equally among all citizens . Some people and organizations have very large financial resources that they can then turn into political influence . Private economic power too easily becomes public political For a society to be truly democratic , political power must be shared by all – it must be distributed relatively equally among all citizens . All citizens must have a voice in determining government policy . This principle is what lies at the heart of a democracy . And this is what Lincoln was getting at when he described democratic government as being “ of the people , by the people , and for the people . ” Americans understand this principle very well . In surveys , as many as ninety - five percent of them endorse the 3 If we all have the same basic amount of political power , then government will respond to what most people want – and its actions are more likely to be in the public interest . That is why elections are so crucial to democracies – why they are defining characteristics of democracies . Ideally in elections , we all have the same exact amount of power : our one vote . A suburbanite does not have more votes than a farmer , and a rich person ca n ’ t vote more often than a poor one . So the But the vote is just one among many other sources of political power . And many of these other sources are located in the private sector where they are distributed very unequally . The result is that instead of being responsive to average Americans , our government is primarily reacting to a powerful elite . And this is undermining the promise of American democracy . The political dangers of this situation were recently highlighted by a task force of distinguished political scientists put together by the American Political Science Association . They issued a disturbing report entitled : American Democracy in an Age of Rising Inequality . 4 They concluded that despite efforts to ensure that all citizens have an equal voice in our political system , increasing levels of economic inequality in the United States are threatening this democratic ideal : Generations of Americans have worked to equalize citizen voice across lines of income , race , and gender . Today , however , the voices of Americans citizens are raised and heard unequally . The privileged participate more than others and are increasingly well organized to press their demands on government . Public officials , in turn , are much more responsive to the privileged than to average citizens and the least affluent . Citizens of lower and moderate incomes speak in a whisper that is lost on the ears of inattentive government officials , while the advantaged roar with 5 Pages : 1 2 3 4 | [

http://governmentisgood.com/articles.php?aid=30&p=3 | Government is Good The Deficit Scare : Myth vs . Reality Print this Article Share on Facebook Tweet this page : 3 of 4 Deficits and Debt can Encourage Economic Growth Conservatives are also wrong when they argue that deficit spending and a large national debt will inevitably undermine economic growth . To see why , we need to simply look back at times when we have run up large deficits and increased the national debt . The best example is World War II when the national debt soared to 120 % of GDP – nearly twice the size of today ’ s debt . This spending not only got us out of the Great Depression but set the stage for a prolonged period of sustained economic growth in the 50s History also shows that balancing the budget does not necessarily ensure a spurt of economic growth . In fact , in most periods when we have not had deficits , such as the 1990s , this was followed by an economic recession . 6 So there is clearly little historical evidence to show that deficits and debt inevitably hurt economic growth . But what about the conservative argument that public spending “ crowds out ” private investment , to the detriment of economic growth ? They maintain that if the government is borrowing a lot money , that is money that the private sector can not invest to increase its production and productivity . This has to undermine economic growth , right ? The answer is “ No , not necessarily . ” As most economists point out , government spending also has a “ crowding in ” effect that actually encourages more private investment . That is because much of the money that the government borrows and spends goes to the private sector . Private industry must then prepare to provide the various goods and services demanded by the government – such as weapons systems , green energy systems , new roads and schools , etc . In order to do this , these businesses must invest in new production facilities and greater productivity . This “ crowding in ” effect thus Investing in America ’ s Future But there is even a more important issue here – one often brought up by Joseph Stiglitz , a Nobel Prize winning economist . He argues that deficit spending , when it is done right , can be a major stimulus to economic growth and actually lower long term government debt . 7 When economic growth is back on healthy terms , this leads to increased tax revenues , which eventually lessen the need for government to borrow money . For Stiglitz , the key is to spend that deficit money on things like education , technology , and infrastructure that lay the groundwork for future economic expansion . We will not remain competitive with other countries for long if we do n ’ t have decent roads , efficient airports , adequate clean water supplies , and sufficient school facilities . Recently the American Society of Civil Engineers estimated that over the We also need government to invest in emerging technologies that are vital to our economic prospects . We are falling behind many other countries in our public investments in high - speed rail , modern telecommunications technology , and an advanced electricity grid . Another area that will drive economic expansion in the future is green technology and alternative energy . Left to itself , the market has not been leading us in that direction . Several other countries , including China and Germany , have been spending billions in public funds to encourage consumers and industry to jump on Who Really Cares about Our Children ? One of the most common Republican complaints about deficits is that they will ruin our children ’ s future . We are saddling them with this enormous debt that they will have to repay – presumably to their great detriment . So if we care about future generations , we must severely cut spending to rein in this increasing debt . “ Do if for the kids , ” say the deficit hawks . The main problem with this argument is that it focuses only on the costs of deficit spending for future generations , and completely ignores how that spending would actually benefit them . Would you be a good parent if you considered only the costs of buying braces for your child and not the benefits they would enjoy for the rest of their lives ? Similarly , we must not just think about the national debt that we are handing down to our children , but consider also all of the valuable assets , projects , and programs that could be financed by that debt . Those benefits could make future generations much better off . It all depends on what the deficits are spent on . If we are simply going into debt , as we did in the Bush era , to pay for tax cuts for the rich and wars like those in Iraq and Afghanistan , this will do little to help our descendants . But what if some of that deficit spending goes to make higher education more affordable ? A study by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education gave the public college and university systems in 43 states a grade of “ F ” for affordability . In addition , we are not doing our offspring any favors if they inherent a country whose infrastructure is in disastrous condition . They will not enjoy balanced budgets if that means living in a world of bad roads , dangerous bridges , failing sewer systems , questionable drinking water , and congested airports . Future generations might also be thankful if we spend some money now on lessening the potentially disastrous impacts of climate change . Global warming is already beginning to do enormous harm with unusually intense droughts and floods . If we do nothing now , the Finally , as noted earlier , government spending can be crucial for ensuring a prosperous and growing economy . A large part of the economic growth in the last twenty years has been fueled by various kinds of private sector economic bubbles . This is hardly desirable or sustainable . In the 1990s , there was a large technology bubble that created billions in apparent investment profits . Later , it was the housing bubble which encouraged consumers to borrow and spend much more money because of the rapidly increasing value of their homes . When these bubbles burst , Pages : 1 2 3 4 | [

Bench Warrants Defined A bench warrant is placed against any individual that does not show up for a court date as scheduled . This warrant directs law enforcement to seek out this individual and place them into custody . As far as the police are concerned , an individual with a bench warrant is a fugitive at large . If you have a bench warrant against you , it is important to take care of the situation as soon as possible .

Outstanding Warrants and Active Warrants Explained Both active warrants and outstanding warrants have the same meaning and can be used equally in the eyes of the law . With that being said , the term , " outstanding warrant " is most often used to describe warrants that are several years old . Regardless of the chosen phrase , both outstanding warrants and active warrants are court - ordered documents that allow law enforcement to arrest an individual using any means necessary . I Have Not Been Notified By The Police - Could I Still Have An Arrest Warrant On File ? You should never wait on notification from the police to determine if you have an arrest warrant on file . The sad truth is that the majority of individuals arrested were unaware of a warrant on their record . Silvia Conrad experienced this first hand when a police officer randomly appeared at her place of work . She was completely unaware of a warrant placed against her , but was hauled off to jail . While it may create an embarrassing experience , the police will do whatever it takes to apprehend you . To understand why you may not be notified properly , you should look at it from the prospective of the police . It basically makes law enforcement ' s job much easier . The police would rather catch you off guard than prepared and ready to run . Bottom Line - Whether you have been notified or not , the police will find you and arrest you to serve their warrant .

http://gqtrippin.com/europe/spain/segovia/ | Day Trip : Guide to Segovia June 4 , 2015 in Spain Before leaving for Spain , we knew we wanted to do a day trip somewhere , anywhere , outside of Madrid . Someplace close , medieval and fun . Toledo and Segovia were the top choices , but with only one day to spare , we could only do one . And if you have n ’ t figured out by now based on the title of this post — we went with Segovia . Here is a quick guide for all you day trippers needing a break from the busy streets of Madrid : How to get to Segovia from Madrid By bus is the best way . I ’ ve read you can take the train , but the station in Segovia is not in the city centre so you ’ d still have to take a bus when you arrive by train . In that case , why not just take the bus all the way ? So that ’ s what we did — we took the bus . So , from Moncloa metro station , here is what you do : look for “ Isla 1 ” which is the terminal from which buses leave . Once there , go down a floor to “ Area Comercial ” using the escalators in the middle of the station near platform # 10 . Then you will see the box office of La Sepulvedana . We went to the box office and purchased 2 - roundtrip tickets for around 15 € . Keep your ticket for the return trip . Buses run every 30 minutes and the ride is approximately 1 - hour long . You can also book these bus tickets online From Segovia bus station to city centre Again , you would think there ’ d be clear signs marking , “ City Centre – > that way ” , but NOOOO ! When you exit the bus , go right to exit the bus station . With the station behind you , turn left . Go straight and cross the street , you want to walk towards and down Carretera Granja for less than 10 minutes . You will start to see the aqueducts and the Tourism Office will be on your left . You can pick up a map / brochure here . Exploring Segovia . . The folks at the Tourism Office can map out the best route for you to take . Segovia is so small , it can be easily done on foot and within a couple of hours , leisurely . That said , it ’ s still a lot of walking on uneven , cobblestone roads so wear comfortable walking shoes . The aqueducts : After a few photo ops at the base of the aqueducts ( the last remaining Roman aqueduct in Spain ) , we hiked up the stairs — just to the right of the Tourism Office if you ’ re looking directly at it — to the very top for a different view . Casa de los Picos House : Looks cool with all the triangular spikes sticking out of it . Another good opportunity to shoot a faux - Rayban commercial before we made our way toward the main square , Plaza Major . Cathedral : There ’ s a small fee , and if you ’ re not Cathedral ’ d out in Spain yet , it ’ s actually really nice inside . On a sunny May day , all the natural lighting coming through the windows illuminate the place . Alcazar museum & Tower of Juan : The museum is small , 45 - minutes tops if you ’ re taking your time . Expect to see a mix of Gothic , Romanesque and Moorish influences , intricate ceilings and silver - armored shoulders with their weapons that will take you back into time . As for the tower , it reminded me of the same ones we climbed up at St . Peter ’ s Basilica at the Vatican — narrow and windy , it ’ s not for the claustrophobic for sure . But once at the top , it truly is the best view town . If you want even more views of the Sierra de Guadarrama , just wander around the area . Where to have lunch ? Restaurante Jose Maria Suckling pig ( aka cochinillo asado ) is the thing to eat when you ’ re in Segovia . It ’ s crispy , a bit pricey and the portions are big , so we shared a single serving . The main thing we missed out on was seeing the servers ceremoniously crushing through the pig with a serving plate . We got the boring fork and spoon version instead . Pasteleria Limon y Menta There is one famous cake in Segovia and it goes by the name of Ponche Segoviano . It ’ s basically cake with custard covered in marzipan . Coming from a dessert lover , this thing fell a little short of tasting like a sugar bomb . But if you ’ re into really sweet cakes , this will probably be a hit for you . With great Medieval architecture around every corner and delicious traditional Castilian food , Segovia is definitely worth a visit and the hour bus ride from Madrid . Do you have any other tips for seeing Segovia ? You might like : Arriving London ! Lucky ' s Souvlakis , You ' re My Gyro ! French Laundry , we so wanted to like you !

words A bride is found for Isaac and most of the action in the chapter vv 1161 takes place within a single day Yet at sixtyseven verses Gen 24 is the longest chapter in Genesis and has the third most verses of any chapter in the Pentateuch 1 Why does the Bible devote so much space to a description of the matchmaking mission of Abrahams servant Eliezer What important lessons are contained in this detailed narrative To answer these questions lets take a closer look at Genesis 24 The Servants Assignment Our chapter begins by noting that Abraham was now old and well advanced in years v1 NIV Not only was Abraham at least 137 years old by this time he had also recently lost his beloved wife Sarah Gen 231 who had stood beside him through many challenges and trials According to one tradition his eulogy for her is preserved in the description of the woman of valor in Prov 311031 2 pp 250251 Whether or not this tradition is true Abraham loved Sarah deeply and must have missed her desperately The exorbitant price he paid for their burial place 2316 certainly reflects his regard for her as well as his trust in Gods promises and his awkward position as a sojourner in the of Canaan Not knowing how much longer he had to live Abraham concentrated on a major item of unfinished business finding the right wife for his adult son Isaac through whom Gods promises were to be transmitted to future generations He delegated this crucial task to the chief servant in his household v 2 That servant is never named in chapter 24 but is traditionally identified as Eliezer of Damascus 152 Assuming that he was part of Abrahams household at the time of the patriarchs original journey from Mesopotamia to Canaan Eliezer was no youngster himselfhe had been serving Abraham for over sixtytwo years In any case Abraham placed great trust in him Abraham instructed Eliezer to go back to Mesopotamia and seek a bride for Isaac among Abrahams large extended family there vv 34 2220 24 He made his steward solemnly swear vv 29 that he would not arrange a marriage for Isaac with a Canaanite partner There were probably at least two reasons for this stipulation First the moral depravity of the Canaanites was well known going all the way back to Canaan himself see 920 27 The sin of the Amorites 1516 would eventually lead to their ejection from the land In the meantime the example of Abrahams nephew Lot had demonstrated the disastrous consequences of too close an involvement with the local population Second as suggested by Rabbi Chanoch Waxman 3 Abraham must have hoped that Isaacs wife would share some of the character traits of Sarah and himself In particular a woman who would leave her home behind and travel to a distant country to marry a man she had never met was likely to possess the kind of faith that had led Abraham and Sarah to undertake a similar journey over sixty years before Abraham also specified that under no circumstances was Isaac to accompany Eliezer v 6 Isaacs place was in the land that God had promised to him and his descendants Abraham had faith that even under this constraint God would bring about the success of Eliezers mission v7 The Character of Rebekah Eliezer prepared carefully for the journey to Mesopotamia which would normally take three to four weeks v 10 2 p 267 He must have had plenty of time on the trip to consider how to accomplish his mission Upon his arrival in Haran he went first to the local well a natural place to pick up information about the inhabitants including Abrahams family He then prayed for guidance asking God to make known the right bride for Isaac through a particular sign May it be that when I say to a girl Please let down your jar that I may have a drink and she says Drink and Ill water your camels toolet her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master v 14 Eliezer received an immediate response to his entreaty Before the servant had even finished praying Abrahams beautiful grandniece Rebekah appeared at the well shouldering a water jar When Eliezer requested a drink Rebekah offered water to his camels too just as he had specified vv 1521 Seeing the answer to his prayer the servant produced a gold nose ring and two gold bracelets for the young woman and asked who she was Some rabbinic commentators wondered about the servants choice of identifying signs for the future wife of Isaac Wouldnt if have been a matter of common courtesy for any young woman at the well to have offered water to Eliezers animals These commentators saw an additional test hidden in the details of the ring and bracelets The weight of the ring was one beka and the numerical equivalents of the letters in beka add up to 172 which happens to be the total number of words in the text of the Ten Commandments The two gold bracelets could represent the two tablets of the Decalogue with the ten shekel weight of the bracelets signaling a further connection to the commandments Building on this data one thread of Jewish tradition claims that Eliezer wasnt just offering jewelry to Rebekah In addition he presented to her the divine truths he had learned from Abraham in order to test her willingness to receive such instruction 2 p 271 However one does not have to resort to numerology to discern something significant about Rebekahs character from the text of Genesis 24 Providing water for ten thirsty camels would have required a great many trips to the well and Rebekah didnt merely propose to give the camels a drink Instead her offer was to draw water for them until they have finished drinking v 19 In addition we should notice the eagerness with which she carried out this task Verse 20 says that she quickly emptied her jar and ran back for more water Waxman 3 points out the parallels Waxman also notes a contrast in Gen 24 between Rebekahs attitude and that of her brother Laban Laban offered food and lodging for Eliezer and the camels but he may have been motivated by the wealth Eliezer displayed v 30 And though he and Rebekahs father Bethuel were forced to admit perhaps grudgingly that God had directed Eliezer to Rebekah Laban still hoped to detain Abrahams servant for as long as possible On the other hand Rebekah did not hesitate or suggest any further delay when she was asked if she would go with Eliezer to become Isaacs wife Instead Lessons about Marriage The final verse of Genesis 24 briefly describes what happened when Eliezer and Rebekah arrived back in Canaan and Isaac first met his new bride Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and he married Rebekah So she became his wife and he loved her and Isaac was comforted after his mothers death This verse seems to imply that the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah was a happy one Rebekah was a worthy successor to Sarah as matriarch of the line of promise and she filled the large gap left in Isaacs life after the death of his mother Isaacs affection for Rebekah was so great that it was not possible for him to successfully pretend in Gerar that Rebekah was merely his sister Gen 268 Later he sent his son Jacob back to Mesopotamia to find a wife among Rebekahs relatives a further indication of his esteem for Rebekah Gen 282 In his book I Isaac Take Thee Rebekah 4 noted Christian evangelist and teacher Ravi Zacharias points out several factors that increased the chances of marital success for Isaac and Rebekah and can also help produce for us the strong marriages that God intends us to have First Isaac and Rebekah did not make the decision to marry entirely on our own In addition the decision process involved members of both sides of the family This process was initiated by Abraham and Eliezer both men of faith Gods will was sought and followed ensuring that an appropriate match was found Second Isaac and Rebekah were both people of upright character mature and ready for marriage Isaac was a man of prayer as evidenced by the fact that he was communing with God when Eliezer and Rebekah met him Gen 2463 Isaac was submissive to Gods will in his life and honored his father see eg Gen 22 The similarity between the events of Gen 26 and analogous events in Abrahams life emphasizes that Isaac was one who sought to follow in his fathers footsteps Rebekah was a virgin Gen 2416 who brought the gift of purity to her marriage with Isaac Probably she too had prayed that God would bring her the right husband and she must have waited patiently for Gods answer When the time came for the final decision to be made her family left that decision up to her an indication of their confidence in her maturity and good judgment Many commentators have pointed out the order of events recorded in Gen 2467she became his wife and he loved her Isaac and Rebekah were mature enough to know that love is much more than a feeling More importantly love is a commitment to lay down ones life for the other person on a daily basis In her readiness to provide water for Eliezer and his camels Rebekah demonstrated that she was ready to make this kind of commitment Her kind and giving nature surely brought a great blessing to Isaac In summary Isaac and Rebekah were receptive to the guidance and wisdom of God and their families possessed strong character and were well prepared to make a lifelong commitment to each other These qualities were a firm foundation for their marriage and will help anchor our marriages as well A Bride for the Messiah In the book of Genesis chapter 24 follows shortly after the account of Abrahams greatest testGods directive that he offer Isaac as a burnt offering Gen 22 This incident is full of symbolic meaning For Christians Abrahams willingness to give up Isaac represents Gods willingness to give his own Son as a sacrifice for human sin Messianic Jewish teacher Ariel Berkowitz proposes in 1 pp 7172 that we carry this symbolism forward to chapter 24 He observes that just as Abraham sought a bride for Isaac after Isaac was rescued from death as a sacrifice so God desires a bride for the Messiah his resurrected Son see Rev 1968 Berkowitz then explores the analogy further suggesting several parallels between the two settings Here are some of the possibilities including those listed in 1 along with a few additional ones a In Gen 24 Rebekah did not come looking for Isaac Instead Abraham set in motion the process of finding Isaacs wife Similarly God has taken the initiative in calling a group of people to follow his Son Rom 829 30 2 Thes 213 14 b Eliezer was sure that God had chosen a bride for Isaac in advance Gen 2414 In the case of the bride of the Messiah that choice was made before the foundation of the world Eph 14 c Abraham sent out his trusted servant to identify and bring back Isaacs bride The servants name is not mentioned in Gen 24 an indication that the servants own identity did not matter The servant was so dedicated to Abraham that he could be thought of as an extension of his master Similarly God sends the Holy Spirit an extension of himself to identify and prepare his Sons bride Eph 4716 d Isaacs bride would share with her husband the substantial riches with which Abraham had been blessed Gen 243536 Similarly the bride of the Messiah will inherit the entire universe along with him Rom 817 e Abraham wanted Isaacs bride to be someone like himself a person with the humble and willing attitude of a servant given to hospitality God looks for similar qualities in his Sons bride Matt 202028 John 131315 I Peter 115 16 221 f Isaacs bride would also need to be willing to step out on faith leaving home and family behind as Abraham and Sarah had previously done It is the same with the bride of the Messiah Luke 957 62 1426 g With the character attributes in d and e Rebekah was different from those around herher brother Laban for example The bride of the Messiah is also chosen to stand out from human society at large Matt 51416 John 1714 As with any analogy it is possible to stretch the connections too far Keeping that in mind though it is a valuable exercise to consider the messianic typology of Gen 24 and other patriarchal narratives Conclusion In Genesis 24 we see the faith of Abraham the wisdom and loyalty of his trusted servant Eliezer and the sterling character of Rebekah These are examples for us to emulate as children of Abraham and members of the collective bride of the Messiah Doing so will strengthen our marriages and our relationship with God 1 Ariel Berkowitz Torah Club Volume Two Yeshua in the Torah

http://gradstudentmadness.blogspot.com/2007/01/voltaire-letters-concerning-english.html | Thursday January 11 2007 Voltaire Letters Concerning the English Nation 1733 Note Im cramming for one of my written exams on about 7080 texts which Ill be taking in a week Ive read all of the texts but Im now reviewing them together So I thought that I might enjoy blogging my notes These should not be used as Spark Notes by any students on earth Voltaires text takes the form of letters from a Frenchman visiting England Instead of being straight travel writing however Voltaire attempts to survey all of English politics and culture In a sense he does this to make serious criticisms of French culture Enlgand becomes the counterexample to French norms However he also uses irony to question Enlgish norms throughout the work So for example the famous passage If one religion only were allowed in Enlgand the government would very possibly become arbitrary if there were but two the people would cut one anothers throats but as there are such a multitude they all live happy and in peace This can be taken in three ways 1 As a straightforward statement in support of religious tolerance 2 As an implied criticism of the dominance of Catholicism in France 3 As an ironic comment on the lack of complete religious tolerance in England at this time Voltaire I think intends for the passage to be read in all three ways at once Voltaires style is playful and allusive However I think there are key themes throughout the work that tie it to the Enlightenment more generally 1 Again religious tolerance is a key theme Voltaire notes that A man should never attempt to win over a fanatic by strength of reasoning 11 He argues that religious persecution seldom has any other effect than to increase the number of proselytes 18 While Voltaire is often seen incorrectly I think as an aethiest here he comes not to bury theism but to argue against the public dominance of any specific religion or the public conflict between religions The Romans never knew the dreadful folly of religious Wars an abomination reserved for devout Preachers of patience and humility 33 2 Political moderation is another key theme Voltaires account of Enlgish political liberty is relatively Whiggish He notes that the English are the only people upon earth who have been able to prescribe limits to the power of Kings by resisting them and who by a series of struggles have at last established that wise Government where the Prince is all powerful to do good and at the same time is restrained from committing evil where the Nobles are great without insolence though there are no Vassals and where the People share in the government without confusion 34 The implication is that France has a long way 3 Another key theme is the power of experiential philosophy Voltaire attributes all inventions before the use of the experimental method to luck In a word no one before the Lord Bacon was acquainted with Experimental Philosophy 52 Voltaires narrative sets up a chain of heroes including Locke Bacon and Newton who radically reconfigured how human beings encountered the world making possible scientific knowledge of the universe but circumscribing metaphysical knowledge of it This should limit the ability of religions to speak with certainty about metaphysics and therefore to clash over religious issues It is not much of a stretch to call Voltaire a materlialist When he criticizes Descartes he Ultimately Voltaire believes in a sort of intellectual selfdetermination based on direct sensory experience and makes Bacon Locke and Newton spokesmen for this point of view 4 Ultimately this is a cultural history Not only is Voltaire attempting to catalogue the intellectual and cultural heroes of England Locke Newton Bacon Shakespeare etc he is also arguing that it is the intellectual geniuses who push a civilization forward as opposed to Kings or military leaders If true Greatness consists in having recieved from Heaven a mighty Genius and in having employed it to enlighten our own Minds and that of others a Man like Sir Isaac Newton whose equal is hardly to found in a thousand Years is the trule great Man And those Politicians and Conquerors were generally so many illustrious wicked Men Posted by Rufus at 120 PM 160 comments AS said You saved my world today I have an essay to write

http://grammar.about.com/od/ab/g/Aside.htm | Humanities Languages What Is an Aside in Speech and Writing ? VisitBritain / Britain on View / Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated December 06 , 2018 In conversation or drama , an aside is a short passage that is spoken in an undertone or addressed to an audience . In written form , an aside may be set off by parentheses Examples and Observations in Literature " As we went in to dinner , Mrs . Ashcroft - Fowler said in a quiet aside to her husband , ' Has Meadows spoken ? ' He shook his head rather gloomily and answered , ' No , he has said nothing yet . ' I saw them exchange a glance of quiet sympathy and mutual help , like people in trouble , who love one another . " ( Stephen Leacock , " Are the Rich Happy " , " Further Foolishness " ) " Every Tuesday I sit down with the speaker and the majority leader to discuss the week ' s agenda . Well , discuss is probably the wrong word . They talk while I sit quietly and imagine their lightly salted faces frying in a skillet . " ( Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood in an aside to the audience in " Chapter 2 " of " House of Cards " , 2013 ) " He made us a list : we ' d need to get some black sesame seed , a specifically sized white porcelain bowl , a bottle of 100 ( or stronger ) - proof alcohol , and a large , new , six - inch kitchen knife . ( I swear to you I ' m not making this up . He may have been making it up , but I ' m telling you exactly what happened . ) " ( Paul Reiser , " Familyhood " ) " I admired [ C.S. Lewis ' s ] use of parenthetical statements to the reader , where he would just go talk to you . Suddenly the author would address a private aside to you , the reader . It was just you and him . I ' d think , ' Oh , my gosh , that is so cool ! I want to do that ! When I become an author , I want to be able to do things in parentheses . ' " ( Neil Gaiman interviewed by Hank Wagner in " Prince of Stories : The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman " ) Simonides : Traitor , thou liest . Pericles : Traitor ! Simonides : Ay , traitor . Pericles : Even in his throat - - unless it be the king - - That calls me traitor , I return the lie . Simonides : [ Aside ] Now , by the gods , I do applaud his courage . ( William Shakespeare , " Pericles " , Act II , scene five ) " Their marriage was like some horrible play . There were only two characters , but they never addressed each other directly . They did all their speaking in asides to the audience . " ( Christina Bartolomeo , " Cupid and Diana : A Novel " ) " If you are slow at this point , reader , to credit what I tell you , it will not be remarkable . For I who observed it , can barely allow myself to believe . " ( Dante , " Inferno " , Canto 25 ) A Long Parenthetical Aside " To the inevitable question of how a City Night School teacher of English as a second language to HIV - negative Somalian women ( they have to be HIV negative or they would never get in ; you ' re forced to take a test , which means that when we all get some perspective around the year 2050 or so , some old Somalian woman is going to sue the city for forced HIV testing and be awarded another bundle . This parenthetical aside has gone on too long , and now I must start again ) . ( Darren Greer , " Still Life With June " ) Punctuating Parenthetical Asides " It is possible to enclose an entire , complete sentence with a pair of parentheses , something that can not be done with a pair of dashes . Such a sentence could stand on its own , for instance in the midst of a paragraph , as a parenthetical aside to the sentence that preceded it . Of course , this parenthetical aside must be so complete that it merits its own sentence , a fairly unusual circumstance . As in : ' I ' m on a strictly vegetarian diet . ( Well , not strictly , I do eat fish from time to time . ) The doctors say it will do wonders for my heart . ' The aside is a complete thought , so it can not fit in the midst of a sentence . Thus it is given its own sentence , made possible by parentheses . " ( Noah Lukeman , " A Dash of Style : The Art and Mastery of Punctuation " ) Continue Reading | [

http://grammar.about.com/od/ab/g/affixterm.htm | Humanities Languages What Are Affixes , Prefixes , and Suffixes in English Grammar ? Isabel Pavia / Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated June 04 , 2018 In English grammar and morphology , an affix is a word element that can be attached to a base or root to form a new word or new form of the word , usually occurring as either a prefix or suffix . Put simply , an affix is a group of letters that are generally added to the beginning or the end of a root word that can change the word ' s meaning . As their names would entail , prefixes like pre - , re - , and trans - are attached to the beginnings of words such as predict , reactivate , and transaction , while suffixes like - ism , - ate , and - ish are attached to the ends of words such as socialism , eradicate , and childish . In rare cases , an affix may be added to the middle of a word and is therefore called an infix , which occurs in such words as cupsful and passersby , where the additional " - s - " affix pluralizes the words cupful and passerby , thus changing their form . What Is a Prefix ? A prefix is a letter or group of letters attached to the beginning of a word that partly indicates its meaning , including such as examples as " anti - " to mean against , " co - " to mean with , " mis - " to mean wrong or bad , and " trans - " to mean across . The most common prefixes in English are those that express negation like " a - " in the word asexual , " in - " in the word incapable , and " un - " in the word unhappy . These negations immediately alter the meaning of the words they are added to , but some prefixes merely change the form . The word prefix itself contains the prefix pre - , which means before , and the root word fix , which means to fasten or place . Thus , the word itself means " to place before . " Prefixes are bound morphemes , which means they ca n ' t stand alone . Generally , if a group of letters is a prefix , it ca n ' t also be a word . However , prefixation , or the process of adding a prefix to a word , is a common way of forming new words in English . What Is a Suffix ? A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word or root — its base form — serving to form a new word or functioning as an inflectional ending . The word suffix comes from the Latin , " to fasten underneath . " There are two primary types of suffixes in English : Derivational , such as the addition of " - ly " to an adjective to form an adverb , indicating what type of word it is . Inflectional , such as the addition of " - s " to a noun to form a plural telling something about the word ' s grammatical behavior . Difference Between Affixes and Compound Words Affixes are bound morphemes , which means that they ca n ' t stand alone . If a group of letters is an affix , it usually ca n ' t also be a word . However , Michael Quinion ' s 2002 book , " Ologies and Isms : Word Beginnings and Endings , " explains the importance of these affixes to the English language and its ever - evolving usage . Although quite similar to compounds — which combine two words with separate meanings to form a new word with a new meaning — affixes must be attached to other words in order to have meaning in and of themselves , says Quinion . Still , affixes can often be stacked together in clusters to create complex words much more easily than compounds can , as David Crystal explains in his 2006 book , " How Language Works . " He uses the example of nation , which can become national as well as nationalize nationalization , or denationalization Continue Reading | [

http://grammar.about.com/od/ab/g/apostrophe.htm | Humanities Languages Figures of Speech : The Apostrophe as a Literary Device by Richard Nordquist Updated May 20 , 2018 In addition to being a punctuation mark , an apostrophe is a figure of speech in which some absent or nonexistent person or thing is addressed as if present and capable of understanding . Also known as a turne tale aversio , and aversion , apostrophes are more often found in poetry than in prose An apostrophe is a form of personification that essayist Brendan McGuigan describes in " Rhetorical Devices " as " a forceful , emotional device " most ideally used in " creative writing and persuasive essays that lean heavily on emotional strength . " However , McGuigan goes on to say that " in formal persuasive and informative essays , using apostrophe might seem a bit melodramatic and distracting . " To provide a bit of context , look no further than the famous poem by Jane Taylor turned modern - day nursery rhyme " The Star , " written in 1806 , which calls out to the celestial body of a star saying , " Twinkle , twinkle , little star , / How I wonder what you are . " In this case , the apostrophe speaks directly to an inanimate star " up above the world so high , " personifying it and pondering how it ' s doing . The device is also used in the carol " Oh Christmas Tree " as people sing not only about the cherished holiday topiary but to it . Importance of Apostrophe in Poetry , Prose , and Song As a form of direct address to an inanimate object , apostrophe serves to further poetic imagery and often emphasizes the emotional weight of objects in our everyday world . The figure of speech serves a vital function in everyone from Mary Shelley ' s works ( " Scoffing devil ! Again do I vow vengeance " from " Frankenstein " to Simon & Garfunkel ' s hit smash " The Sound of Silence " ( " Hello darkness , my old friend , / I ’ ve come to talk with you again " ) . Apostrophe happens in Shakespeare ' s " Sonnet 18 " as the narrator starts out speaking to an absent " thee " : " Shall I compare thee to a summer ' s day ? " It also appears in the play " Hamlet " when the title character is in a rage about his mother marrying Claudius . Hamlet calls out to the abstraction " frailty " in Act 1 : " Frailty , thy name is woman ! " In Edgar Allen Poe ' s works , he distinctly speaks to a raven sitting " upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door as if it could understand him in the poem of the same name , and in the poem " To One in Paradise , " he starts out addressing his love ( absent from the scene ) thus : " Thou wast all that to me , love . " Just as in poetry , the literary device comes up in song often , such as any time that the words are directed to someone not able to hear . Or in addressing the inanimate . In the smash # 1 hit by the doo - wop group the Marcels from 1961 , the " Blue Moon " is addressed : " Blue moon , you saw me standing alone / without a dream in my heart , without a love of my own . " Categorically , apostrophe fits into the English vernacular as part of the irony family alongside aporia — a figure of speech in which the speaker expresses real or simulated doubt on a topic — wherein the speaker of an apostrophe obviously understands that the subject can not truly understand the words but instead uses the speech to emphasize his or her description of that object . More Examples From Pop Culture Next time you ' re watching your favorite television show , take a moment to see if you can spot any clever usage of apostrophes from the characters — you might be shocked at how often this figure of speech is utilized to help actors convey their messages to audiences . Even as early as Grecian times when Homer wrote " The Odyssey , " apostrophes were used as literary devices to break from addressing the primary audience to instead speak to a third party , with the relatively impersonal narrator occasionally butting in to break the third wall and inform the audience members of some plot device they may have missed . In modern times , television shows — especially comedies — often use this feature to call out to their audiences . Such is the case when characters on " Battlestar Galactica " call out " Frakking toasters " every time something goes wrong on the spaceship , with the toasters in questions being the humanoid Cylons whose goal is to destroy the remaining human population on board . When " Star Trek " ' s Captain James Kirk waves his fist in the air and yells " Khaaan ! " at his absent nemesis , that ' s also a use of apostrophe . In the movie " Cast Away , " to keep from losing his mind , the character Chuck Noland , played by Tom Hanks , talks to a volleyball , Wilson . Fortunately , it does n ' t talk back . Although most commonly used in spoken rhetoric , apostrophes can also come into play in written forms ; such is the case in a famous example of a cigarette advertisement firm addressing young audiences in its ad — who could n ' t buy the product — to appeal to older audiences who long to re - experience the proverbial " youth " the cigarette marketer was trying to sell .

Definition and Examples Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms A closeup image of an army of ants . Jay Sacher says it ' s fitting that ants should possess a collective noun : " [ T ] hey are one of the most biologically successful animals that live and forage collectively " ( A Compendium of Collective Nouns by Richard Nordquist Updated May 17 , 2018 A collective noun is a noun ( such as team , committee , jury , squad , orchestra , crowd , audience , and family ) that refers to a group of individuals . Also known as a group noun In American English , collective nouns usually take singular verb forms . Collective nouns can be replaced by both singular and plural pronouns , depending on their meaning . Examples and Observations " The family is one of nature ' s masterpieces . " Agreement With Collective Nouns " Nouns such as committee , family , government , jury , and squad take a singular verb or pronoun when thought of as a single unit , but a plural verb or pronoun when thought of as a collection of individuals : The committee gave its unanimous approval to the plans . The committee enjoyed biscuits with their tea . " It is possible for singular collective nouns to be followed either by a singular or a plural verb form ( see number ) : The audience was delighted with the performance . The audience were delighted with the performance . Colorful Collective Nouns " Many noncount nouns have an equivalent countable expression using such words as piece or bit partitive collective nouns ) followed by of Luck : a piece of luck Grass : a blade of grass Bread : a loaf of bread Venereal Nouns Venereal noun A noun denoting a collection of persons or things regarded as a unit , defining them through word play . . . " William Cobbett on Nouns of Multitude ( 1818 ) " Nouns of number , or multitudes , such as Mob , Parliament , Rabble , House of Commons , Regiment , Court of King ' s Bench , Den of Thieves , and the like , may have Pronouns agreeing with them either in the singular or in the plural number ; for we may , for instance , say of the House of Commons , ' They refused to hear evidence against Castlereagh when Mr . Maddox accused him of having sold a seat ' ; or , ' It refused to hear evidence . ' But , we must be uniform in our use of the Pronoun in this respect .

http://grammar.about.com/od/d/g/dependclterm.htm | Humanities Languages Dependent Clause : Definition and Examples Is it a noun clause , adverb clause , or adjective clause ? by Richard Nordquist Updated September 08 , 2018 In English grammar , a dependent clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb but ( unlike an independent clause ) can not stand alone as a sentence . It ' s a clause that implies that there is more to come and is incomplete . It is also known as a subordinate clause Dependent clauses include adverb clauses , adjective clauses , and noun clauses . They can appear at any point in a sentence and start with signal words . Types of Dependent Clauses Adverbial clauses start with a subordinating conjunction and answer wh - questions such as when something happened , where , and why as well as how and to what degree , such as " As soon as winter hits , her nephew earns money shoveling the neighbors ' driveways . " It answers the question when ( with the subordinating conjunction as soon as ) and has a verb in it , hits . The subject of that verb is winter , but the clause can not stand on its own as a sentence , as it is incomplete . An adjective clause functions to describe a noun in the sentence and starts with a relative pronoun , as in , " Her nephew , who is industrious , shovels neighbors ' driveways in the winter to earn money . " The clause describes the nephew , contains a verb ( is ) and starts with a relative pronoun ( who ) . A noun clause functions as a noun in the sentence , as in , " That looks delicious . I want some of whatever she ' s having . " The clause functions as a noun in the sentence ( it could be replaced by a noun or noun phrase , such as that cake ) , contains a subject ( she ) and a verb ( is having ) but can not stand on its own . Some signal words for dependent noun clauses include relative pronouns and subordinating conjunctions such as : what , whoever , whether , that , which , how , and why . You ' ll be able to tell what kind of clause something is by looking at how it functions in the sentence . For example , the clause in " The city w here I come from is Spokane " is an adjective clause because it describes the noun city . In this next example , " Where I come from is much larger than this town " the clause functions as a noun . In " She ' s planning to move to where I come from , " the clause functions as an adverb because it answers the question of where the person will move . Locations in a Sentence Although exceptions can be found , a dependent clause at the beginning of a sentence is usually followed by a comma ( as in this sentence ) . However , when a dependent clause appears at the end of a sentence , it ' s not usually set off with a comma , though again ( as in this sentence ) , there are exceptions . They can also be located inside other dependent clauses . Authors Peter Knapp and Megan Watkins explain : " There can be levels of complexity within complex sentences . Within a dependent clause , for instance , there can be another dependent clause . For example , in the following sentence there is a main clause . . . , a dependent clause in an adverbial relationship with the main clause ( in italics ) , and a dependent clause [ bold italics ] in an adverbial relationship with the first dependent clause : " If you want to survive the elements when you go hiking , you should remember to bring along a drink , pocket knife , whistle , map , torch , compass , blanket and food .

Matt Swinden / Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated October 03 , 2018 In linguistics and composition , the term echo word has more than one meaning : An echo word is a word or phrase ( such as buzz and cock a doodle doo ) that imitates the sound associated with the object or action it refers to : an onomatope . Also called an echoic word An echo word is a word or phrase ( such as shilly shally and click and clack ) that contains two identical or very similar parts : a reduplicative An echo word is a word or phrase that recurs in a sentence or paragraph . Examples and Observations " Sound alone is the basis of a limited number of words , called echoic or onomatopoeic , like bang , burp , splash , tinkle , bobwhite , cuckoo . Words that are actually imitative of sound , like meow , bowwow , and vroom - - though these differ from language to language - - can be distinguished from those like bump flick , which are called symbolic . Symbolic words regularly come in sets that rhyme bump , lump , clump , hump ) or alliterate flick , flash , flip , flop ) and derive their symbolic meaning at least in part from other members of their sound - alike sets . Both imitative and symbolic words frequently show doubling , sometimes with slight variation , as in bowwow , choo - choo , and peewee . " ( John Algeo and Thomas Pyles , The Origins and Development of the English Language , 5th ed . Thomson Wadsworth , 2005 ) " Repetitions help to echo keywords , to emphasize important ideas or main points , to unify sentences , or to develop coherence among sentences . Skillful repetitions of important words or phrases create ' echoes ' in the reader ' s mind : they emphasize and point out key ideas . You can use these ' echo words ' in different sentences - - even in different paragraphs - - to help ' hook ' your ideas together . . . " [ E ] cho words may come any place in the sentence : with the subjects or the verbs , with the objects or the complements , with prepositions or other parts of speech . You need not always repeat the word exactly ; think of other forms the word may take , such as freak , freakiness , freakishness ( nouns ) , freaking ( participle ) , freaky and freakish ( adjectives ) , and freakishly and freakily ( adverbs ) . " ( Ann Longknife and K . D . Sullivan , The Art of Styling Sentences , 4th ed . Barron ' s , 2002 ) Echo - Pairs " Echo - words are crucially different from straight reduplicated words in that they have rules sensitive to the reduplicated configuration , ' detaching melodic elements from the affixal skeleton ' and replacing them with an invariant onset ( McCarthy and Prince 1986 , 86 ) . This accounts for the ban on auto - reduplication of echo - words themselves . Yiddishized English shm - initial words undergoing echo - pairing ( such as shmaltz ) have to be echo - paired with something else ( usuall shp - : shpaltz ) or else with nothing ( no echo - pair can be formed ) , but certainly not with a direct repeat ( * * shmaltz - shmaltz is disallowed ) .

http://grammar.about.com/od/il/g/inductionterm.htm | Humanities Languages Induction ( Logic and Rhetoric ) English logician Isaac Watts ( 1674 - 1748 ) on the power of induction by Richard Nordquist Updated September 09 , 2018 Induction is a method of reasoning that moves from specific instances to a general conclusion . Also called inductive reasoning In an inductive argument , a rhetor ( that is , a speaker or writer ) collects a number of instances and forms a generalization that is meant to apply to all instances . ( Contrast with deduction . ) In rhetoric , the equivalent of induction is the accumulation of examples Examples and Observations Induction operates in two ways . It either advances a conjecture by what are called confirming instances , or it falsifies a conjecture by contrary or disconfirming evidence . A common example is the hypothesis that all crows are black . Each time a new crow is observed and found to be black the conjecture is increasingly confirmed . But if a crow is found to be not black the conjecture is falsified . " ( Martin Gardner , Skeptical Inquirer , Jan . - Feb . , 2002 " If you have trouble remembering the difference between inductive and deductive logic , consider their roots . Induction comes from Latin for ' to induce ' or ' to lead . ' Inductive logic follows a trail , picking up clues that lead to the end of an argument . Deduction ( both in rhetoric and expense accounts ) means ' to take away . ' Deduction uses a commonplace to pull you away from your current opinion . " ( Jay Heinrichs , Thank You for Arguing : What Aristotle , Lincoln , and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion . Three Rivers Press , 2007 Inductively valid , or correct , arguments , unlike deductively valid ones , have conclusions that go beyond what is contained in their premises . The idea behind valid induction is that of learning from experience . We often observe patterns , resemblances , and other kinds of regularities in our experiences , some quite simple ( sugar sweetening coffee ) , some very complicated ( objects moving according to Newton ' s laws — well , Newton noticed this , anyway ) . . . " Here is a simple example of an inductively valid argument of the kind sometimes called induction by enumeration I loaned my friend $ 50 last November and he failed to pay me back . ( Premise ) I loaned him another $ 50 just before Christmas , which he has n ' t paid back ( Premise ) , and yet another $ 25 in January , which is still unpaid . ( Premise ) I suppose it ' s time to face facts : He ' s never going to pay me back . ( Conclusion ) " We use inductive reasoning so frequently in everyday life that its nature generally goes unnoticed . " ( H . Kahane and N . Cavender , Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric , 1998 ) F.D.R. ' s Use of Induction " The following passage comes from Franklin D . Roosevelt ' s speech to Congress on December 8 , 1941 , the day after Pearl Harbor , declaring a state of war between the United States and Japan . Yesterday the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya . Last night , Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong . Last night , Japanese forces attacked Guam . Last night , Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands . Last night , the Japanese attacked Wake Island . And this morning , the Japanese attacked Midway Island . Japan has , therefore , undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area . ( Safire 1997 , 142 ; see also Stelzner 1993 ) Here , Roosevelt has in effect constructed a comparison that involves six items , and his purpose in doing so appears in the final sentence . His ' therefore ' signals that he offers a conclusion supported by the preceding list , and these individual instances have been united as examples for the conclusion on the basis of their parallel form . . . . The argument form here , supporting a generalization with examples , is classically known as induction . In the most direct manner , the six examples of Japanese aggression ' add up ' to the conclusion . The list strengthens what was already , on the occasion of Roosevelt ' s speech , an overwhelming case for war . " ( Jeanne Fahnestock , Rhetorical Style : The Uses of Language in Persuasion . Oxford Univ . Press , 2011 ) The Limits of Rhetorical Induction " It is important to remember that rhetorical does not actually prove anything ; it is arguing from the probability that known instances are parallel to and illuminating of those less well known . Whereas full logical induction enumerates all possible instances , the rhetorical argument by example almost always enumerates less than the total . The persuasive impact of such a method of reasoning is increased , of course , as one increases the number of examples . " ( Donald E . Bushman , " Example .

http://grammar.about.com/od/il/g/literalangterm.htm | Humanities Languages What " Literal Meaning " Really Means Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms It ' s not really raining cats and dogs . The literal meaning is the most obvious or non - figurative sense of a word or words . Language that ' s not perceived as metaphorical ironic hyperbolic , or sarcastic . Contrast with figurative meaning or non - literal meaning . Noun : literalness . Gregory Currie has observed that the " literal meaning of ' literal meaning ' is as vague as that of ' hill . ' But just as vagueness is no objection to the claim that there are hills , so it is no objection to the claim that there are literal meanings " ( Image and Mind , 1995 ) . Etymology : From the Latin , " letter Pronunciation : LIT - er - el Examples and Observations Dictionary definitions are written in literal terms . For example , ' It is time to feed the cats and dogs . ' This phrase ' cats and dogs ' is used in a literal sense , for the animals are hungry and it is time to eat . " Figurative language paints word pictures and allows us to ' see ' a point . For example : ' It is raining cats and dogs ! ' Cats and dogs do not really fall from the sky like rain . . . This expression is an idiom . " ( Passing the Maryland High School Assessment in English , 2006 ) " The sea , the great unifier , is man ' s only hope . Now , as never before , the old phrase has a literal meaning : we are all in the same boat . " ( Jacques Cousteau , National Geographic , 1981 ) Zack : I have n ' t been to a comic book store in literally a million years . Sheldon Cooper : Literally ? Literally a million years ? ( Brian Smith and Jim Parsons in " The Justice League Recombination . " The Big Bang Theory , 2010 ) Processing Literal and Non - Literal Meanings How do we process metaphorical utterances ? The standard theory is that we process non - literal language in three stages . First , we derive the literal meaning of what we hear . Second , we test the literal meaning against the context to see if it is consistent with it . Third , if the literal meaning does not make sense with the context , we seek an alternative , metaphorical meaning . " One prediction of this three - stage model is that people should ignore the non - literal meanings of statements whenever the literal meaning makes sense because they never need to proceed to the third stage . There is some evidence that people are unable to ignore non - literal meanings . . . That is , the metaphoric meaning seems to be processed at the same time as the literal meaning . " ( Trevor Harley , The Psychology of Language . Taylor & Francis , 2001 ) ' What ' s the difference ? ' " [ A ] sked by his wife whether he wants to have his bowling shoes laced over or laced under , Archie Bunker answers with a question : ' What ' s the difference ? ' Being a reader of sublime simplicity , his wife replies by patiently explaining the difference between lacing over and lacing under , whatever this may be , but provokes only ire . ' What ' s the difference ' did not ask for the difference but means instead ' I do n ' t give a damn what the difference is . ' literal meaning asks for the concept ( difference ) whose existence is denied by the figurative meaning . " ( Paul de Man , Allegories of Reading : Figural Language in Rousseau , Nietzsche , Rilke , and Proust . Yale University Press , 1979 ) Literally and Figuratively " People have used literally to mean figuratively for centuries , and definitions to this effect have appeared in The Oxford English Dictionary and The Merriam - Webster Dictionary since the early 1900s , accompanied by a note that such usage might be ' considered irregular ' or ' criticized as a misuse . ' But literally is one of those words that , regardless of what ’ s in the dictionary — and sometimes because of it — continues to attract an especially snooty breed of linguistic scrutiny . It is a classic peeve . " ( Jen Doll , " You ' re Saying It Wrong . " The Atlantic , January / February 2014 ) Distinction Between Sentence Meaning and Speaker Meaning It is crucial to distinguish between what a sentence means ( i.e. , its literal sentence meaning ) and what the speaker means in the utterance of the sentence . We know the meaning of a sentence as soon as we know the meanings of the elements and the rules for combining them . But of course , notoriously , speakers often mean more than or mean something different from what the actual sentences they utter mean . That is , what the speaker means in the utterance of a sentence can depart in various systematic ways from what the " If , for example , I now say , ' The window is open , ' I might say that , meaning literally that the window is open . In such a case , my speaker meaning coincides with the sentence meaning . But I might have all sorts of other speaker ' s meanings that do not coincide with the sentence meaning . I might say ' The window is open , ' meaning not merely that the window is open , but that I want you to close the window . A typical way to ask people New Literary History , Summer 1994 ) Lemony Snicket on Literal and Figurative Escapes " It is very useful , when one is young , to learn the difference between ' literally and figuratively . ' If something happens literally , it actually happens ; if something happens figuratively , it feels like it ’ s happening . If you are literally jumping for joy , for instance , it means you are leaping in the air because you are very happy . If you are figuratively jumping for joy , it means you are so happy that you could jump for joy , but are saving your energy for other matters . The Baudelaire orphans walked back to Count Olaf ’ s neighborhood and stopped at the home of Justice Strauss , who welcomed them inside and let them choose books from the library . Violet chose several about mechanical inventions , Klaus chose several about wolves , and Sunny found a book with many pictures of teeth inside . They then went to their room and crowded together on the one bed , reading intently and happily . Figuratively , they escaped from Count Olaf and their miserable existence . They did not escape , because they were still in his house and vulnerable to Olaf ’ s evil in loco parentis ways . But by immersing themselves in their favorite reading topics , they felt far away from their predicament , as if they had escaped . In the situation of the orphans , figuratively escaping was not enough , of course , but at the end of a tiring and hopeless day , it would have to do . Violet , Klaus , and Sunny read their books and , in the back of their minds , hoped that soon their figurative escape would eventually turn into a literal one .

Also known as a principal verb A main verb ( also known as a lexical verb or full verb ) carries the meaning in a verb phrase . A main verb is sometimes preceded by one or more auxiliary verbs ( also known as helping verbs ) . ( 2 ) The verb in a main clause is sometimes identified as the Examples ( definitions # 1 and # 2 ) Sheila sells seashells . Sheila has sold seashells by the seashore . Tomorrow Sheila will sell seashells by the seashore . " Today through the window - pane I see a lark high up against the grey cloud , and hear his song . " ( Richard Jefferies , " Hours of Spring , " 1886 ) " He shaved every morning at the water shelf on the back porch with a straight razor and always smelled of soap and whiskey . " ( Harry Crews , A Childhood : The Biography of a Place . Harper & Row , 1978 ) " I frankly regard corporal punishment as of no greater significance in the life of most human beings than bustles , hula - hoops , flared trousers , side - whiskers or any other fad . " ( Stephen Fry , Moab Is My Washpot . Soho Press , 1997 ) " The mourners on the front benches sat in a blue - serge , black - crepe - dress gloom . A funeral hymn made its way around the church tediously but successfully . It eased into the heart of every gay thought , into the care of each happy memory . " ( Maya Angelou , I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings . Random House , 1970 ) " The ball climbed on a diagonal line into the vast volume of air over center field . From my angle , behind third base , the ball seemed less an object in flight than the tip of a towering , motionless construct , like the Eiffel Tower or the Tappan Zee Bridge . " ( John Updike , " Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu , " 1960 ) Observations " Each has five forms . Three of them can be used as a complete main verb : the - s form ( present tense ) : she writes the past tense form : he wrote simple form ( present tense ) : they write The other two forms do not , by themselves , indicate tense - ing form : writing participle form ( - ed / - en form ) : written They can not be used alone as the main verb of a clause . " ( Ann Raimes , How English Works : A Grammar Handbook With Readings . Cambridge University Press , 1998 ) Main Verbs in Verb Phrases " A verb phrase is the helping verb plus the . The final word in a verb phrase , the main verb , carries the primary meaning of the verb phrase . Sometimes more than one helping verb accompanies the main verb . In the following sentences , the verb phrases are bold ; HV appears [ after ] each helping verb , and MV appears [ after ] each main verb . He is [ HV ] biking [ MV ] to Vermont from Boston They will [ HV ] arrive [ MV ] in time for the game . Cy Young has always been considered one of the best pitchers in baseball history Notice that sometimes words not part of the verb phrase come between the helping verb and the main verb . " Typical helping verbs include : be , being , been , is , am , are , was , were , do , did , does , has , have , had , must , may , can , shall , will , might , could , would , should . " The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge , 2nd ed . St . Martin ' s Press , 2007 ) Be , Have , and Do as Main Verbs " Several verbs , such as be , have , and do , have a variety of syntactic lexical functions : They can be main or auxiliary verbs . John is a student , and he does his homework daily be do are main lexical verbs ] , Bob has been working on his term paper work is the main lexical verb , and has been are auxiliary ] . " . . . Every English sentence needs to have a verb to be grammatical . However , only the main verb is absolutely essential . " ( Eli Hinkel , Teaching Academic ESL Writing : Practical Techniques in Vocabulary and Grammar . Lawrence Erlbaum , 2004 ) Relative Time " We say He assumes she is single He assumed she was single ; the secondary verb follows the into the past tense , a phenomenon sometimes called the normal sequence of tenses . However , we might also say He assumed she is single . The main verb does not necessarily force its tense on the secondary verb . Often a subordinate verb that expresses something that is always true , not just true at the time of the main verb ' s action , is in the present tense , as in Galileo believed that the earth moves around the sun - - but moved would not be wrong , and some would consider it preferable , since a subordinate clause in the present tense is slightly jarring when the main clause is in a past tense .

W . Harmon and H . Holman suggest that mood is " the emotional - intellectual attitude of the author toward the subject " and tone " the attitude of the author toward the audience " ( A Handbook to Literature , 2006 ) . Examples and Observations From Other Texts " Authors often use concrete details to engage the reader ' s imagination , establishing and tone ; they often draw on sensory imagery . In ' Journey to Nine Miles , ' when Alice Walker writes , ' By five o ' clock , we were awake , listening to the soothing slapping of the surf and watching the sky redden over the ocean , ' she appeals to the reader ' s senses of sight and sound to establish a colorful , sensual tone that pervades the essay . Similarly , Arthur C . Clarke ' s narrator creates tension — establishing mood and tone — in the first few sentences of ' The Star , ' while providing readers with a clear sense of time and place : ' It is three thousand light - years to the Vatican . Once , I believed that space could have no power over faith , just as I believed that the heavens declared the glory of God ' s handiwork . Now I have seen that handiwork and my faith is sorely troubled . ' " ( J . Sterling Warner and Judith Hilliard , Visions Across the Americas : Short Essays for Composition , 7th ed . Wadsworth , 2010 ) " [ T ] he reader must have a sympathetic relation with the subject matter and a sensitive ear ; especially must he have a sense of ' pitch ' in writing . He must recognize when the quality of feeling comes inevitably out of the theme itself ; when the language , the stresses , the very structure of the sentences are imposed upon the writer by the special of the piece . " ( Willa Cather , " Miss Jewett . " Not Under Forty , 1936 ) Tone in fiction is like the tone of a storyteller ' s voice : is it playful , serious , melancholy , frightening , or what ? ( It can be any of these things , and still be the same voice . ) Mood has to do with the emotions the author makes the reader feel in less direct ways — by the sounds of the words she uses , the length and rhythm of sentences , the choice of images and their associations . " Sometimes tone and mood are most effective when they are mismatched . " ( Damon Knight , Creating Short Fiction , 3rd ed . Macmillan , 1997 ) " The of a poem is not quite the same thing as the tone although the two are very closely linked . When we refer to the mood of a poem we are really talking about the atmosphere that the poet creates in the poem . . . . " One way to try to help yourself establish the mood of a poem is to read it aloud . You can experiment with various readings , seeing which one you think best fits the particular poem . ( Do n ' t try this in an exam , of course . ) The more practice you get at reading poems aloud and the more you are able to hear others read them , the better able you will be able to ' hear ' poems in your mind when you read them to yourself . " ( Steven Croft , English Literature : The Ultimate Study Guide . Letts and Londale , 2004 ) " The essay , as a literary form , resembles the lyric , in so far as it is molded by some central — whimsical , serious , or satirical . Give the mood , and the essay , from the first sentence to the last , grows around it as the cocoon grows around the silkworm . The essay writer is a chartered libertine and a law unto himself . A quick ear and eye , an ability to discern the infinite suggestiveness of common things , a brooding meditative spirit , are all that the essayist requires to start business with . " ( Alexander Smith , " On the Writing of Essays . " Dreamthorp , 1863 ) Mood in Walker ' s Jubilee ( 1966 ) " In several instances [ in Margaret Walker ' s novel Jubilee is conveyed more by conventional notation — the number thirteen , boiling black pot , full moon , squinch owl , black crone — than any decisive nuance of thought or detail ; or more precisely , fear is disembodied from internal agitations of feeling and becomes an attribute of things . ' Midnight came and thirteen people waited for death . The black pot boiled , and the full moon rode the clouds high in the heavens and straight up over their heads . . . .

http://grammar.about.com/od/mo/g/morphemeterm.htm | Humanities Languages Definition and Examples of Morphemes in English 7nuit / Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated January 10 , 2019 In English grammar and morphology , a morpheme is a meaningful linguistic unit consisting of a word such as dog , or a word element , such as the - s at the end of dogs , that ca n ' t be divided into smaller meaningful parts . Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language . They are commonly classified as either free morphemes , which can occur as separate words or bound morphemes , which ca n ' t stand alone as words . Many words in English are made up of a single free morpheme . For example , each word in the following sentence is a distinct morpheme : " I need to go now , but you can stay . " Put another way , none of the nine words in that sentence can be divided into smaller parts that are also meaningful . Etymology From the French , by analogy with phoneme , from the Greek , " shape , form . " Examples and Observations A prefix may be a morpheme : " What does it mean to pre - board ? Do you get on before you get on ? " — George Carlin Individual words may be morphemes : They want to put you in a box , but nobody ' s in a box . You ' re not in a box . " — John Turturro Contracted word forms may be morphemes : " They want to put you in a box , but nobody ' s in a box . You ' re not in a box . " — John Turturro Morphs and Allomorphs " A word can be analyzed as consisting of one morpheme ( sad ) or two or more morphemes ( unluckily ; compare luck , lucky , unlucky ) , each morpheme usually expressing a distinct meaning . When a morpheme is represented by a segment , that segment is a morph . If a morpheme can be represented by more than one morph , the morphs are allomorphs of the same morpheme : the prefixes in - insane ) , il - illegible ) , im - impossible ir - irregular ) are allomorphs of the same negative morpheme . " — Sidney Greenbaum , The Oxford English Grammar . Oxford University Press , 1996 Morphemes as Meaningful Sequences of Sounds " A word can not be divided into morphemes just by sounding out its syllables . Some morphemes , like apple , have more than one syllable ; others , like - s , are less than a syllable . A morpheme is a form ( a sequence of sounds ) with a recognizable meaning . Knowing a word ' s early history , or etymology , may be useful in dividing it into morphemes , but the decisive factor is the form - meaning link . " A morpheme may , however , have more than one pronunciation or spelling . For example , the regular noun plural ending has two spellings ( - s and - es ) and three pronunciations ( an s - sound as in backs , a z - sound as in bags , and a vowel plus z - sound as in batches ) . Similarly , when the morpheme - ate is followed by - ion ( as in activate - ion ) , the t of - ate combines with the i of - ion as the sound ' sh ' ( so we might spell the word ' activashun ' ) . Such allomorphic variation is typical of the morphemes of English , even though the spelling does not represent it . " — John Algeo , The Origins and Development of the English Language , 6th ed . Wadsworth , 2010 Grammatical Tags " In addition to serving as resources in the creation of vocabulary , morphemes supply grammatical tags to words , helping us to identify on the basis of form the parts of speech of words in sentences we hear or read . For example , in the sentence Morphemes supply grammatical tags to words , the plural morpheme ending { - s } helps identify morphemes , tags , words as nouns ; the { - ical } ending underscores the adjectival relationship between grammatical and the following noun , tags , which it modifies . " — Thomas P . Klammer et al . Analyzing English Grammar . Pearson , 2007 Language Acquisition " English - speaking children usually begin to produce two - morpheme words in their third year , and during that year the growth in their use of affixes is rapid and extremely impressive . This is the time , as Roger Brown showed , when children begin to use suffixes for possessive words ( ' Adam ' s ball ' ) , for the plural ( ' dogs ' ) , for present progressive verbs ( ' I walking ' ) , for third - person singular present tense verbs ( ' he walks ' ) , and for inflections . Children tend to learn derivational morphemes a little later and to continue to learn about them right through childhood . . . .

Phillip Pikart / Wikimedia Commons by Richard Nordquist Updated January 20 , 2019 Onomatopoeia is the use of words ( such as hiss or murmur ) that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to . Adjective : onomatopoeic or onomatopoetic . An onomatope is a particular word that imitates the sound it denotes . Onomatopoeia is sometimes called a figure of sound rather than a figure of speech . As Malcolm Peet and David Robinson point out , " Onomatopoeia is a fortunate by - product of meaning ; few words and relatively few arrangements of words have sounds which are meaningful in themselves " Leading Questions , 1992 ) .

That ' s the sound of da police , ' KRS - One famously chants on the hook of ' Sound of da Police ' from 1993 ' s Return of the Boombap . The unmistakable sound he makes in place of the police siren is an example of onomatopoeia , the trope that works by exchanging the thing itself for a linguistic representation of the sound it makes . " ( Adam Bradley , Book of Rhymes : The Poetics of Hip Hop . BasicCivitas , 2009 ) " Flora left Franklin ’ s side and went to the one - armed bandits spread along one whole side of the room . From where she stood it looked like a forest of arms yanking down levers . There was a continuous clack , clack , clack of levers , then a click , click , click of tumblers coming up . Following this was a metallic poof sometimes followed by the clatter of silver dollars coming down through the funnel to land with a happy smash in the coin receptacle at the bottom of the machine .

" The Marvelous Toy and Other Gallimaufry , 1984 ) " I like the word geezer , a descriptive sound , almost onomatopoeia , and also coot , codger , biddy , battleax , and most of the other words for old farts . " ( Garrison Keillor , A Prairie Home Companion , January 10 , 2007 ) Creating Sound Effects in Prose " A sound theory underlies the onomaht - - that we read not only with our eyes but also with our ears . The smallest child , learning to read by reading about bees , needs no translation for buzz . Subconsciously we hear the words on a printed page . " Like every other device of the writing art , can be overdone , but it is effective in creating mood or pace . If we skip through the alphabet we find plenty of words to slow the pace : balk , crawl , dawdle , meander , trudge and so on . " The writer who wants to write ' fast ' has many choices . Her hero can bolt , dash , hurry hustle . " ( James Kilpatrick , " Listening to What We Write . " The Columbus Dispatch , August 1 , 2007 ) Linguists on Onomatopoeia Linguists almost always begin discussions about with observations like the following : the snip of a pair of scissors is su - su in Chinese , cri - cri in Italian , riqui - riqui in Spanish , terre - terre in Portuguese , krits - krits in modern Greek . . . . Some linguists gleefully expose the conventional nature of these words , as if revealing a fraud . " ( Earl Anderson , A Grammar of Iconism . Fairleigh Dickinson , 1999 ) A Writer ' s Word " My favorite word is ' , ' which defines the use of words whose sound communicates or suggests their meanings . ' Babble , ' ' hiss , ' ' tickle , ' and ' buzz ' are examples of onomatopoeic usage . " The word ' onomatopoeia ' charms me because of its pleasing sound and symbolic precision . I love its lilting alternation of consonant and vowel , its tongue - twisting syllabic complexity , its playfulness . Those who do not know its meaning might guess it to be the name of a creeping ivy , or a bacterial infection , or maybe a small village in Sicily . But those acquainted with the word understand that it , too , in some quirky way , embodies its meaning . " ' Onomatopoeia ' is a writer ' s word and a reader ' s nightmare but the language would be poorer without it . " ( Letty Cottin Pogrebin , quoted by Lewis Burke Frumkes in Favorite Words of Famous People . Marion Street Press , 2011 ) The Lighter Side of Onomatopoeia Russian Negotiator : Why must every American president bound out of an automobile like as at a yacht club while in comparison our leader looks like . . . I do n ' t even know what word is . Sam Seaborn : Frumpy ? Russian Negotiator : I do n ' t know what " frumpy " is but onomatopoetically sounds right . Sam Seaborn : It ' s hard not to like a guy who does n ' t know frumpy but knows ( Ian McShane and Rob Lowe in " Enemies Foreign and Domestic . " The West Wing , 2002 ) " I have a new book , ' Batman : Cacophony . ' Batman faces off against a character called Onomatopoeia .

http://grammar.about.com/od/pq/g/Paragraph-Length.htm | Humanities Languages Paragraph Length in Compositions and Reports Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated March 05 , 2018 In composition technical writing , and online writing , the term paragraph length refers to the number of sentences in a paragraph and the number of words in those sentences . There is no set or " correct " length for a paragraph . As discussed below , conventions about appropriate length vary from one form of writing to another and depend on various factors , including medium topic audience , and purpose Simply put , a paragraph should be as long or as short as it needs to be to develop a main idea . As Barry J . Rosenberg says , " Some paragraphs should weigh a skimpy two or three sentences , while others should weigh a robust seven or eight sentences . Both weights are equally healthy " ( Spring Into Technical Writing for Engineers and Scientists , 2005 ) . See Examples and Observations below . Also , see : The Invisible Mark of Punctuation : The Paragraph Break Coherence and Cohesion Development Paragraph Break and Paragraphing Sentence Length Unity Examples and Observations Paragraph lengths , like sentence lengths , give an essay a kind of rhythm that readers can feel but that is hard to talk about . . . . A very short paragraph can be just the right kind of pause following a long and complex one . Or a series of paragraphs of about the same length can give the reader a very satisfying feeling of balance and proportion . " ( Diana Hacker and Betty Renshaw , Writing With a Voice , 2nd ed . Scott , Foresman , 1989 ) Paragraph Length in Essays " There is no set rule about paragraph length . They can be long or short . . . , though do note that both the shortest and the longest are rare and you should take care in their use . What works best is usually a mixture of longer and shorter paragraphs within the middle range . Aim to vary length rather than look for a set formula . . . . [ A ] paragraph [ that ] contains . . . 150 words . . . is probably about average for what would most often be used in an essay . " ( Jacqueline Connelly and Patrick Forsyth , Essay Writing Skills : Essential Techniques to Gain Top Marks . Kogan Page Ltd . , 2011 ) Dividing a Long Paragraph " [ S ] ometimes you may discover that a particular point in your essay is so complex that your paragraph is growing far too long — well over a typed page , for instance . If this problem occurs , look for a logical place to divide your information and start a new paragraph . For example , you might see a convenient dividing point in a series of actions you ' re describing or a break in the chronology of a narrative or between explanations of arguments or examples . Just make sure you begin your next paragraph with some sort of transitional phrase or key words to let the reader know that you are still discussing the same point as before ( ' Still another problem caused by the computer ' s faulty memory circuit is . . . ' ) . " ( Jean Wyrick , Steps to Writing Well With Additional Readings , 8th ed . Wadsworth , 2011 ) Paragraph Length in Academic Writing " Paragraphs give readers a sense of where one unit ends and another begins , a sense of how the argument develops by moving from one topic to another . . . . Paragraphs let the reader digest one idea at a time without becoming overwhelmed . " In modern academic writing , paragraphs are usually less than a page in length . But it ' s rare to find many short paragraphs ( of , say , less than four lines ) in a row . A typical paragraph is roughly ten to twenty lines in length . But there will be variety . Short paragraphs are sometimes needed for other purposes besides laying out a component of the argument . For example , a transitional paragraph might be needed at a certain point in order to sum up all that ' s been established so far and to hint at where the argument will go from here . " And sometimes short paragraphs can simply underscore a point . " ( Matthew Parfitt , Writing in Response . Bedford / St . Martin ' s 2012 ) Paragraph Length in Business and Technical Writing " Quantifying is difficult , but in business and technical writing , paragraphs exceeding 100 to 125 words should be rare . Most paragraphs will consist of three to six sentences . If a single - spaced paragraph goes beyond one - third of a page , it is probably too long . A double - spaced paragraph should not exceed half a page in length . " The document ' s format should influence paragraph length . If a document has narrow columns ( two to three to the page ) , then paragraphs should be shorter , perhaps on the average of no more than 50 words . If a document uses a full - page format ( one column ) , then average paragraph length can reach 125 words . " Length is therefore a function of appearance and visual relief . " ( Stephen R . Covey , Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication , 5th ed . FT Press and Pearson Education , 2012 ) Paragraph Length in Online Writing " If the statistics are to be believed , by the end of this sentence , I ’ ll have lost most of you . Because according to some estimates , the average time spent on a webpage is 15 seconds . . . " And so webmasters worldwide have launched an emergency austerity programme , pruning , paring , compacting everything possible in a frantic attempt to spare our readers a few precious seconds . . . . " The most obvious casualty of this economy drive is the venerable paragraph . . . . " The internet . . . has exerted further downward pressure on . Reading on a laptop screen or phone is slower and more fatiguing , and it ’ s harder to keep your place ; inserting regular , clear breaks ( complete lines rather than indentations ) is one way to create a smoother reading experience . " None of this is in dispute . But consider this recent piece on the BBC website . With two exceptions , all the paragraphs in this story consist of precisely one sentence . . . . " [ O ] ne reason , and one reason alone , is sufficient to justify the Save the Paragraph Campaign . Time was , when you came across a paragraph of one sentence , you knew it contained powerful stuff ( in the writer ’ s view , at least ) . A short paragraph , coming after many long ones , could deliver a real punch . " ( Andy Bodle , " Breaking Point : Is the Writing on the Wall for the Paragraph ? . " The Guardian , May 22 , 2015 ) One - Sentence Paragraphs " Occasionally , a one - sentence paragraph is acceptable if it is used as a transition between longer paragraphs or as a one - sentence introduction or conclusion in correspondence . " ( Gerald J . Alred , Charles T . Brusaw , and Walter E . Oliu , The Business Writer ' s Handbook , 10th ed . Bedford / St . Martin ' s , 2012 ) Paragraph Length and Tone " How long is a paragraph " As short as that . " Shorter . " Or as long as it needs to be to cover a subject . . . . " But there is a complication . Writing that aims to be inviting , like the writing in newspapers , popular magazines and books , uses shorter paragraphs than more ambitious and ' profound ' writing . New paragraphs are begun before a topic is exhausted . " Anytime . " For no reason at all . " Because each new paragraph lightens the tone , encourages readers , offers a foothold down the page . " When paragraphs are short , writing does seem easier . Less happily , it also seems disjointed and superficial — as though the writer ca n ' t concentrate on a subject . " Thus paragraphing , like so much else , is a matter of tone . You want to have a proper paragraph length for your subject , your audience , and your degree of seriousness ( or frivolity ) .

http://grammar.about.com/od/pq/g/Pejorative-Language.htm | Humanities Languages What is Pejorative Language ? Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms " Swine , as a term of abuse is now a bad pejorative word , because it brings no one accusation rather than another against the person it vilifies . . . " - C.S. Lewis . Image by Chris Winsor / Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated August 20 , 2018 The term pejorative language refers to words and phrases that hurt , insult , or disparage someone or something . Also called a derogatory term or a term of abuse The label pejorative ( or derogatory ) is sometimes used in dictionaries and glossaries to identify expressions that offend or belittle a subject . Nonetheless , a word that ' s regarded as pejorative in one context may have a non - pejorative function or effect in a different context . Examples and Observations of Pejorative Language " It is often . . . the case that pejorative terms are stronger when applied to women : bitch is seldom a compliment , whereas bastard ( especially old bastard ) can under some circumstances be intended as a term of respect or affection . Of similar positive status when masculine is dog ( as in you old dog ! , admiring a roué ) ; when feminine in reference in AmE it means an ugly woman . Witch is almost always pejorative , whereas wizard is often a compliment . " ( Tom McArthur , Concise Oxford Companion to the English Language . Oxford University Press , 2005 ) " [ T ] here is a tendency to select our epithets with a view not to their accuracy but to their power of hurting . . . " The best protection against this is to remind ourselves again and again what the proper function of pejorative words is . The ultimate , simplest and most abstract , is bad itself . The only good purpose for ever departing from that monosyllable when we condemn anything is to be more specific , to answer the question ' Bad in what way ? ' Pejorative words are rightly used only when they do this . Swine , as a term of abuse , is now a bad pejorative word , because it brings no one accusation rather than another against the person it vilifies ; coward and liar are good ones because they charge a man with a particular fault - - of which he might be proved guilty or innocent . " ( C . S . Lewis , Studies in Words . Cambridge University Press , 1960 ) Pejorative Language As a Persuasive Strategy " One important feature of a narratio is that of characterization of the major players . The use of pejorative language was in order to dispose the audience in a particular direction toward one ' s own viewpoint and against that of others . Hence we hear [ in the epistles of St . Paul ] about ' false brothers ' ' secretly brought in ' who ' spy things out , ' or about ' those reputed to be pillars , ' or about Peter ' s and Barnabas ' ' hypocrisy . ' This use of pejorative and emotional language is not accidental . It is meant to raise animus against the opposing viewpoint and sympathy for the speaker ' s case . " ( Ben Witherington , III , Grace in Galatia : A Commentary on Paul ' s Letter to the Galatians . T&T Clark Ltd . , 1998 ) Euphemisms and Lexical Change " There are cases of euphemisms leading to lexical change in the past . For instance , imbecile originally meant ' weak ' and idiot meant ' non - expert , layperson . ' When these words had their meanings extended to soften the blow of saying that someone had very limited intellectual powers , the original meanings were obscured and eventually got lost . Unfortunately , when we use euphemisms , the unpleasant associations eventually catch up with the new word . Then it is time to find another one . ( Surely , a more effective solution to the problem of reducing the hurt caused by using is to change the attitudes of people who consciously or unconsciously use such language . Not an easy task . ) " ( Francis Katamba , English Words : Structure , History , Usage , 2nd ed . Routledge , 2005 ) Rhetoric As a Pejorative Term " The art of rhetoric was held in high regard from ancient Greece until late in the 19th century , occupying a prominent position in the paideia , which signified both education and culture . . . . " Towards the end of the 19th century , rhetoric fell into disrepute and was no longer taught in the various educational institutions . The word ' rhetoric ' received a meaning , suggesting the use of underhanded tricks , fraud , and deceit , or the stringing together of hollow words , hackneyed expressions and mere platitudes . To be rhetorical was to be bombastic . " ( Samuel Ijsseling , Rhetoric and Philosophy in Conflict : An Historical Survey , 1975 . Trans . from the Dutch by Paul Dunphy . Martinus Nijhoff , 1976 ) " Rhetoric is not a term to embrace lightly ; it is too pockmarked by a century in which it has been deemed to be associated merely with sophistication ( in the less positive sense of that word ) , cant and emptiness . It has seemed to suggest a state in which language floats free of its context and thus becomes deracinated , superfluous - - perhaps inflated - - and ultimately meaningless . This palsied view of rhetoric is not new , however . The earliest recorded reference to rhetoric in English , according to the OED , dates from the mid - sixteenth century . Plato was fiercely critical of it . It seems that the epithetic phrase ' sweet rhetoric ' has been particularly far from people ' s mouths in the last hundred years or so .

Definition and Examples in English Grammar Compassionate Eye Foundation / Robert Kent / Getty Images by Richard Nordquist Updated March 27 , 2018 In English grammar , a main clause is a group of words made up of a subject and a predicate . A main clause ( unlike a dependent or subordinate clause ) can stand alone as a sentence . A main clause is also known as an independent clause , a superordinate clause , or a base clause . Two or more main clauses can be joined with a coordinating conjunction ( such as and ) to create a compound sentence Examples and Observations " [ A main clause is a ] clause which bears no relation , or no relation other than coordination , to any other or larger clause . Thus the sentence I said I would n ' t is as a whole a single main clause ; in He came but I had to leave two main clauses are linked in coordination by but . " ( P.H. Matthews , " Main Clause . " The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Linguistics , Oxford University Press , 1997 ) " While Fern was in school , Wilbur was shut up inside his yard . " ( E.B. White , Charlotte ' s Web . Harper & Brothers , 1952 ) " Dinner always took a long time , because Antonapoulos loved food and he was very slow . " ( Carson McCullers , The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter . Houghton Mifflin , 1940 ) " The engagement dinner took a long time but eventually the port was served and the judge was delighted when Colonel Doughty whispered to him . He rose almost immediately . " ( Henry Cecil , The Asking Price , 1966 ) " I learned to type when I was 12 years old . When I finished the class my father bought me a Royal portable typewriter . " ( Ellen Gilchrist , The Writing Life . University Press of Mississippi , 2005 ) " They called the baby Meg for short . She was a blond , stocky , serious baby whose silvery eyebrows were quirked in a permanent frown . When she learned to walk , she trudged ; if she laughed , it was only after a moment of study . " ( Anne Tyler , Searching for Caleb . Alfred A . Knopf , 1975 ) In cotton - picking time the late afternoons revealed the harshness of Black Southern life , which in the early morning had been softened by nature ' s blessing of grogginess , forgetfulness and the soft lamplight . " Maya Angelou , I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings . Random House , 1969 ) " Grandfather , who usually slept in the attic bed when he was with us , had disappeared some days before . " ( James Thurber , " The Night the Bed Fell . " My Life and Hard Times , Harper & Brothers , 1933 ) " When liberty is taken away by force , it can be restored by force . When it is relinquished voluntarily by default , it can never be recovered . " ( American journalist Dorothy Thompson ) " Listen now . When people talk listen completely . . . . Most people never listen . Ernest Hemingwa y , By - Line : Ernest Hemingway . Scribner , 1967 ) Main Clauses and Subordinate Clauses " The basic idea is that the main clause is primary and contains the principal verb . Semantically , the situation expressed in the main clause is foregrounded ( i.e. , it is the major focus of the construction as a whole ) . The subordinate clause is secondary in the sense that it provides additional background information that helps to frame the situation described in the primary clause . As Quirk et al . put it , ' A major difference between coordination and subordination of clauses is that the information in a subordinate clause is often placed in the background with respect to the superordinate clause ' ( 1985 , p . 919 ) .
