So here's a big yoga secret I share with my students: it's all about the core. When you see yogis pressing into headstand, playing with variations in handstand, floating from lunges into and out of standing balance poses, the core is kicking on and working big time.
It's not about bulging quads, ripped arms, or even washboard abs. Developing the super deep core muscles that run along the spine is where a lot of strength and power comes from. Not to mention the fact that "core" also includes the back and obliques.
Here are four awesome poses to make sure the front, side, and back core muscles are getting their workout on.
1. High Plank
The beauty of this pose is that it works the whole body, and first and foremost it's an ab scorcher. Align your shoulders over your wrists. Give the shoulder blades a slight squeeze toward one another while continuously pushing the mat away. Press out long through your heels and make sure your quads are engaged and hugging toward one another. Here's the core action: make sure your hips aren't tenting upward or hammocking down. Hips should be in line between the crown of the head and your heels. Draw your tailbone toward your heels AND draw your belly button toward your spine. Feel it yet? Oh yeah! (To modify, set up in high push-up and then bring your knees down. Hips should now be in line between your knees and head. To modify for wrist problems, come to the forearms.)
2. Dolphin
From downward facing dog, bring your forearms to the mat. Just like in plank and downdog, shoulder blades hug toward one another, press through the heels, and hug your belly button in toward your spine. If you're not feeling anything, start to walk your feet toward your elbows. Maybe even play with lifting one foot and then the other. Not only is this great for building core strength, but you're also building shoulder strength, prepping for forearmstand, and opening your heart and shoulders! (To modify, come into forearm plank.)
3. Side Plank
Here's the takeaway for you: anything with the word "plank" in it is going to be a core strength-building pose! But seriously. In this instance, from high plank, bring your right hand directly under your shoulder. Roll to the outside edge of your right foot, and bring the arches of both feet together. Your left hand will reach toward the sky, stacking your shoulders on top of each other. Arch your hips up. Feel stable? Lift your left leg! Yeah, obliques! (To modify: bring your right knee down to the mat.)
4. Boat Pose
Though this pose is, whew, hard, it can be fun! Fun?! Yes! … Start seated with your feet flat on the mat and your hands grabbing behind your knees. Start to lift one foot, bringing that shin parallel to the mat. Maybe you stay here and switch back-and-forth between sides. If you feel stable, lift both feet. Maybe you stay here with both shins parallel to the mat and holding behind your knees. If you can hold here without rolling back onto your tailbone, release your knees. Maybe you straighten your legs! Once this is part of your practice, you can totally play! Into and out of half-boat, or V-sits (lowering halfway and popping back up), Russian twists (bringing your hands down next to your hip and then switching sides), grabbing your big toes and trying to kiss your shins… Aka, have fun with it! 🙂
Add these poses to your yoga or strength building routine, and see what happens! I think you'll be amazed at how much more stable and strong you'll feel!

Three U.S. films — "Furious 7," "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Jurassic World" — have sold almost $750 million in tickets in Chinese theaters since April.
Even a year ago, that kind of box-office performance from Hollywood movies would have prompted a bout of hand-wringing among Chinese movie executives, anxious about how foreign titles were leaving little space for homegrown films.
But at the Shanghai International Film Festival this week, there's been a noticeable air of self-assurance among Chinese entertainment chiefs and the senior honchos of Internet companies like Alibaba that are rapidly piling into the movie, TV and streaming business.
The buoyant mood seems attributable to several factors, including surging box-office receipts for not just foreign but also domestic films. That is coupled with sky-high stock valuations as Chinese equity markets have soared in recent months despite a slowdown in the overall economy.
China's overall box-office take was up more than 40% year over year in the first quarter and has continued apace since, and domestic productions are sharing in the bonanza. For instance, two films released from China's Bona Film Group — war drama "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" and casino caper "From Vegas to Macao 2" — each grossed about $150 million on much lower budgets than their Hollywood blockbuster cousins.
The country also continues to add screens at a rapid pace, and officials from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television predict that the country may have 40,000 screens by 2017 — about as many as the U.S. and Canada do.
"It won't take long for us to catch up with Hollywood because we can hire Hollywood people and borrow their system," Wang Chengtian, chairman of film production company Beijing Enlight Media, said during one panel discussion. He said his company planned a slate of 20 films for next year, up from 13 this year.
Wang Hong, chairman of Hengdian Film and TV Production Co., which has a massive studio lot and a cinema line, said China can create universal stories and reach out to audiences around the world.
"I don't think we should be too frustrated by the temporary challenges brought on by Hollywood blockbusters," he said. "The future is bright."
Other industry representatives speaking at various events described Hollywood as "slow," "inefficient" and "behind."
Few spoke of wanting to do co-productions or partnerships with U.S. studios. Instead, the focus was largely on the domestic Chinese market and how to leverage Internet technology for crowdfunding, marketing, ticket sales and streaming.
"It has become the gold mine.... That's why [Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent] have all set their sights on the entertainment industry," said Yu Dong, chief executive of Bona Film. "This is a wonderful thing. We don't lack for cash anymore."
Shares of Bona Film have surged in recent months. The company, which has been listed on the Nasdaq exchange since 2010, has seen its stock double since October to close at $12.86, down 7 cents, on Tuesday. Yu recently unveiled plans to take the company private.
Yu said the company plans to make 26 films in the next year and a half, with a target of reaching $1.6 billion in box-office returns. China's total year-to-date box office is about $3 billion.
Bona is hardly alone; shares of other Chinese entertainment companies such as Alibaba Pictures, Enlight and DMG Entertainment have also seen their market values soar by billions in recent months as Chinese investors have gone on a buying spree.
Some observers say there's a lack of fundamentals behind those valuations and a comeuppance is in the offing.
"There have been no earth-shattering news announcements portending major new developments. No accelerations in growth or earnings to fuel the exponential increases in value," Rob Cain, a producer and longtime observer of the Chinese film market, wrote this week in Forbes. "In fact, the Chinese economy's growth has been slowing over the past year, and … media company earnings look vulnerable."
There are a few names from the U.S. entertainment industry that Chinese tech and entertainment executives are eager to emulate: Netflix and HBO. During the festival, Alibaba Digital Entertainment President Liu Chunning said his company was starting a paid streaming service called Tmall Box Office, or TBO, charging customers through Alibaba's set-top TV boxes and smart TVs.
"We will pave the way for the rest of the movie industry," he said. "We need to create scenarios where viewers want to pay. HBO is a good example where people are willing to pay. Their business model is great."
Developing markets beyond the theatrical box office is key for China, where piracy basically prevented a robust home video or DVD market from ever being created. But Chinese consumers are tentatively starting to demonstrate a willingness to fork over money for content.
Representatives of Baidu's online streaming video arm, iQIYI, said during the festival that it had amassed 5 million paying customers.
"Users' willingness to pay for content reflects the huge opportunity and potential for iQIYI and the online-video market in China," said Chief Executive Yu Gong, predicting that the "golden age" of theatergoing in China would last only five more years.
Still, those 5 million paying customers represent only 1% of iQIYI's 500 million users.
Jonathan Spink, chief executive of HBO Asia, agreed that the industry was now going through an "interesting time" thanks to the rise of the Internet, but cautioned his Chinese counterparts not to get too far ahead of themselves.
"The value chain of films still relies on theaters. Without theaters, no one will make films. Without TV, no one will make programs," he said. The Internet offers "huge opportunities for viewers to see content, but we can't lose sight of how we make content.... People have been forecasting the demise of cinema for a long time and it hasn't happened yet. "
Nicole Liu of The Times' Beijing bureau contributed to this report.

Balding like an embalmed syphilitic tyrant August 10, 2009Posted by caveblogem in Other.
Tags: aging
I try not to be a vain person, really. I've got to admit, however, that having a little mostly bald patch on the top of my head near the back really bothers me. Try to put my finger on what there is about it that really gets to me and I'd have to guess that it makes me feel like I look weak. It's stupid. I am much stronger, and in slightly better shape than any other time in my life, except possibly my late teens. Something about having hair, but a missing patch, seems worse than no hair at all.
There are few famous people sporting this particular look, which makes it all the worse, of course. The famous guys my age have rugs or hair plugs or were vain enough to start using monoxidil in their youth. Some shave their heads, which my wife discourages me from doing. I was reading last week's New Yorker and ran across a real gem, though. Buried in Ian Frazier's two-part travel narrative about Siberia is the phrase, used to describe a companion, "Lenin-pattern baldness."
With Lenin-pattern baldness I can still be intimidating and frightening. I find that a comfort, somehow. "Get off my lawn," bellowed the big guy down the street with Lenin-pattern baldness.
*I should probably note that the title to this post is derived from a line in one of my favorite books, Microserfs, by Douglas Coupland.

It's no secret that Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk wants the electric-car maker to lead the way in autonomous driving. But the CEOs timeline seems to be accelerating. Even more, the timing Musk is now referring to for autonomous driving tech falls in line with the company's planned launch of its lower-cost electric car, Model 3.
Autonomous driving tech: Just two years away?
"We're going to end up with complete autonomy," Musk recently told Fortune during his commute to SpaceX headquarters, "and I think we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years."
Prior to this interview, Musk's most common referenced timeline for autonomous driving was five or six years. Even more, Musk has always been careful to emphasize that it could take an additional two or three years for regulators to actually approve the technology after it exists.
But Musk appears encouraged. His newfound confidence follows tweets from the CEO on Twitter in November saying he is looking for "hardcore software engineers" as the company makes "generalized full autonomy" a "super high priority."
Tesla's Model 3, which the company says will have a starting price of $35,000, happens to have a planned launch date in late 2017 -- the same time frame Musk says Tesla could have autonomous driving hardware ready. While its not clear Tesla would include all of the hardware required for autonomous driving in its lower-cost Model 3, it certainly does seem like a Musk-like aspiration.
Even if the technology is ready to roll out with Model 3, Tesla probably wouldn't activate autonomous driving for several years after it starts selling the vehicle. Musk said in his interview with Fortune he predicts it will take an additional year for regulators to determine that it's safe and to go through an approval process and, "In some jurisdictions, it may take five years or more, he says," writes Fortune's Kirsten Korosec.
A higher standard
After Tesla's over-the-air update to its vehicles in October that beamed autopilot abilities, including automatic steering and lane changes at highway speeds, the electric-car company is arguably ahead of any other production car when it comes to driver assisted tech. But achieving the sort of autonomous driving Musk says could be just two years out is on a whole different level. This level of autonomous driving, he told Fortune, would boast lower probability of accidents than when a person is driving.
Model S takes care of details even when you want to change lanes https://t.co/y5ZQRNMdBk
— Tesla Motors (@TeslaMotors) November 24, 2015
And reducing accidents will be a catalyst for regulation, Musk predicts.
"The point at which it becomes statistically clear that an autonomous car is safer, I think, regulators will be comfortable with allowing it," he said.
Whatever Tesla can do and chooses to do as it leans toward higher levels of autonomous driving, there will be one key area to watch that will be more relevant than anything else: Is the technology saving lives? If Tesla can save lives, Musk's aspirations for autonomous driving could prove realistic. On the other hand, if Tesla fails to serve up meaningful data pointing to increased safety, autonomous driving could be further out than the CEO hopes.

Cyprus PIO: Turkish Cypriot and Turkish Media Review, 12-07-05
Cyprus Press and Information Office: Turkish Cypriot Press Review Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Republic of Cyprus Press and Information Office Server at <http://www.pio.gov.cy/>TURKISH CYPRIOT AND TURKISH MEDIA REVIEW No. 128/12 5.7.12
[01] Eroglu met with the Israeli Ambassador to LefkosiaIllegal Bayrak television (04.07.12) broadcast that the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu held a meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to Lefkosia Michael Hariri.
Eroglu's special representative Osman Ertug and the "residential undersecretary" Hasan Gungor were also present at the meeting. No statements were made.
In addition Bayrak (04.07.12) also broadcast that Eroglu met with a delegation from the International Eurasia Education Trade Unions Federation which is holding contacts at the occupation regime.
Speaking during the visit Eroglu said that he wanted to develop relations with Turkic nations which had won their independence by keeping their relations tight.
"We are a country which experienced many pains but declared our independence. This is why we understand each other well", Eroglu alleged.
[02] Kucuk alleges that the Cypriot term presidency is contrary to the philosophy of the EUTurkish Cypriot daily Gunes newspaper (05.07.12) reports that Irsen Kucuk, self-styled prime minister of the breakaway regime in the occupied area of the Republic of Cyprus, alleged yesterday that the Cypriot EU term presidency is a development which is contrary to the founding principles and the philosophy of the European Union. Kucuk described as "unacceptable" the assumption of the EU term presidency by Cyprus as of 1 July, before reaching a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem.
Noting that the role of the EU term presidency is still important, Kucuk said that Cyprus announced as priorities of its term presidency the promotion of the European integration and further strengthening the principles shared by Europe. He alleged that by rejecting the Annan Plan in 2004 and by not responding to the allegedly constructive stance of the Turkish Cypriots since 2008, the Greek Cypriots showed that they do not accept these principles.
Kucuk argued that the Turkish Cypriots were disappointed because the EU member states ignored the fact that a divided country assumed the EU term presidency.
Kucuk wished for the EU not to repeat the so-called mistakes of the past, to implement the "promises" it had given to the Turkish Cypriots, to recall that the current situation on the island is not normal and to "motivate the Greek Cypriots" for a solution in Cyprus especially during the Cypriot EU term presidency.
[03] Volkan wonders whether Turkish Cypriots will attend the inaugural ceremony of the Cyprus EU term presidency at Kourion AmphitheatreTurkish Cypriot daily Volkan newspaper (05.07.12) reports that Turkish Cypriot politicians, trade unionists and journalists have been invited to the inaugural ceremony of the Cyprus EU term presidency, which will take place tonight at Kourion Amphitheatre. The paper writes that according to information it has acquired, chairman of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) Ozkan Yorgancioglu, Sonay Adem, Ali Erel, Kudret Ozersay, Ahmet Barcin, Izzet Izcan, Murat Kanatli, Alpay Durduran, Sener Elcil, Ahmet Kaptan and some Turkish Cypriot journalists have been invited to the ceremony. Volkan wonders whether "CTP and the masters of the trade unions" will participate in the ceremony.
[04] Reference to the reality of the Turkish occupation in Cyprus is seen as propaganda by Turkish mediaUnder the title "'Occupation' propaganda by the Greek Cypriot sector", Guldener Sonumut, NTVMSNBC's (04.07.12, online) correspondent to Brussels, argues that Cyprus started its EU presidency by making propaganda against Turkey. Sonumut writes that this "propaganda" is made in the advertisement brochures, the maps and the history books given by the Cypriot EU term presidency to journalists.
Sonumut says that in contrary to the maps printed by the European Union, in the maps of Cyprus which are distributed by the Cypriot EU term presidency it is openly said that the northern part of the island is occupied by Turkey. He also describes as propaganda the 114-page brochure aiming at introducing the history of Cyprus to the journalists.
Citing statements by EU Council officials, Sonumut notes that they described this stance of Cyprus as "attention-grabbing" and said that they "had advised Cyprus not to carry to the EU platform its bilateral problems with Turkey". Noting that Cyprus brought onto the agenda the issue of Turkey from the very first day of its EU term presidency, the officials reportedly said that Cyprus is only giving trump cards to Turkey, which is in any case boycotting it.
[05] "Cyprus' new roadmap"In a commentary entitle: "Cyprus' new roadmap", in Turkish daily Sabah (05.07.12), columnist Mahmut Ovur reports on the meeting he held last week in occupied Lefkosia with the Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu during a luncheon that Eroglu gave to several Turkish diplomatic correspondents from Turkey and writes that Eroglu determined during the meeting, the launching of a new era in Cyprus.
According to Ovur, commenting on the Republic of Cyprus' overtaking the EU presidency, Eroglu said that a new era has begun with the "Greek Cypriot administrations'" EU presidency, and explained the following: "The negotiations continue for exactly 6 years. We became stronger with the Annan Plan, still due to the wrong stance of Mehmet Ali Talat and his team; it was not possible for this chance to turn to an occasion. Of course, because of the Greek Cypriot side, the EU did not approach the solution. Now, we have in front of us the 6 months EU presidency of the Greek Cypriot side and later on the presidential elections in the Greek Cypriot side. So, the non-solution will continue for at least one year".
Pointing out that nobody, including Turkey, does not in fact feel uncomfortable with the non-solution which is experienced in Cyprus, Ovur supports that first of all, some EU countries such as the UK, France and Germany, as well as the USA and Russia, are in favour of the continuation of the situation of the "non-solution".
Turkey is not uneasy as well for this, writes the columnist, because of the fact that the EU did not fulfil its promises.
"Taking action in the framework of these realities, Eroglu says that their only goal now: 'Is the lifting of isolation'", writes the columnist.
The columnist asking the Turkish Cypriot leader, Dervis Eroglu what the Turkish Cypriot side will do after the EU did not fulfilled its promises to the Turkish Cypriots, Eroglu explained what is their new roadmap: "We will still continue exerting pressure to the EU, but what it is really necessary to do is to turn our direction to other areas and the Islam countries. This is our goal".
[06] Statements by Talat on the situation in the occupied area of Cyprus and the Cyprus problemTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (05.07.12) reports that former Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Ali Talat has argued that change is needed in many fields in the occupied area of Cyprus in order for the regime to overcome the problems which it faces. In statements yesterday to Kibris TV, Talat said he is in favour of implementing the "presidential system" in the occupied area of Cyprus, which should be turned into a single "election zone".
Talat noted that almost all sectors in occupied Cyprus are in crisis and expressed his sorrow about the problems experienced in the occupied Lefkosia's municipality.
Talat argued that the economy of the breakaway regime should be strengthened in order for the solution of the Cyprus problem and the equality of the Turkish Cypriots to be protected. He added: "We should not stop insistently asking for the solution of the Cyprus problem. The Turkish Cypriots should work for the solution. However, while efforts for the solution are exerted, steps for strengthening the economy of the TRNC should be taken and projects should be prepared".
Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot daily Volkan newspaper (05.07.12) reports that in statements to another television program, Talat said that an "unprecedented chaos" is experienced in the occupied area of Cyprus. Asked whether the situation would be improved if a "governor" came, Talat said that "if they were more capable, they would not contribute to the TRNC coming to this situation".
Asked whether he had ever adopted the position calling Turkey to withdraw from Cyprus [Translator's note: The exact expression is "Ayse go home". 'Ayse' is the codename used for the Turkish occupation army in 1974 to mark the beginning of the second phase of the invasion of Cyprus], Talat said that it should not be forgotten that the "TRNC" is not recognized and that Turkey gives them very big financial aid and provides their security. He argued that saying this "would not be very seemly".
Asked to reply to the criticism that his positions were the same with the ones of late Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktas, Talat argued that this criticism was groundless, that he supported the Annan Plan while Denktas did not and that he exerted efforts at the negotiating table for a solution. He alleged that in practice, the Turkish Cypriots have the right to establish an independent and separate state and claimed that this right was established on a separate piece of land after 1974, but the international situation does not accept this. "Our policy should be in the direction of meeting with the world through the solution of the Cyprus problem in harmony to these international realities", he argued.
[07] Durust held contact in AnkaraTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (05.07.12) reports that the self-styled minister of national education, youth and sport Kemal Durust who paid an one-day visit to Ankara, met with the deputy prime minister of Turkey Bulent Arinc and discussed the issue of the illegal universities of the breakaway regime.
Arinc stated during the meeting, that Turkey is aware of the importance of the education institutions in the occupation regime and the steps that were taken and added that they support the aim of the "TRNC", as he called the breakaway regime, to become "a country that offers education services".
On his part Durust stated that they would like the support of the TRT so that the universities to become even more advertised. He also said that this will be very important for both the future of the universities and for the "TRNC image".
In addition, Turkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (05.07.12) reports that Durust also met with the Turkish minister of youth and Sports Suat Kilic and they discussed various issues. Kilic expressed during the meeting his support for the lifting of the "embargoes".
[08] More developments at the occupied Lefkosia's municipalityUnder the front page title: "The conflict in Lefkosia is big", Turkish Cypriot daily Havadis newspaper (05.07.12) publishes extensively the developments which are taking place at occupied Lefkosia's municipality.
According to the paper, the so-called council of ministers, issued a "government" decision during its yesterday five-hours meeting, according to which it forces the so-called mayor of occupied Lefkosia municipality, Cemal Bulutoglulari and the aldermen's (members of the municipal council) to obligatory permission of leave for 90 days.
The decision has been announced yesterday by the so-called minister of interior and local administration, and also "spokesman" of the "council", Nazim Cavusoglu who pointed out that the "members of the municipal council" did not met for 5 months now, neither they proceed to any decision making. He added that since the workers at the "municipality" did not pay their salaries, it is thus personnel which cannot provide services.
Explaining that the so-called government, taking always into consideration not to damage the democracy in the "country" and also taking into account the autonomy of the "municipality", took the opinion of the "attorney general" first, before taking this decision, Cavusoglu said that the so-called government, before announcing its decision, has also called one by one the members of the "municipal council" and the "mayor" in order to inform them.
Cavusoglu further said that a commission which is to be composed by 8 persons, will be established in order to perform the duties of the members of the "municipal council". He added that this commission will be appointed by the "ministers" and added that one of the members will be from the "municipalities' union", another person will be from the muhktars of occupied Lefkosia, whereas the other 6 persons will be appointed by the "ministers", as he said. He also pointed out that the duties of the "mayor" where given to the "district governor of Lefkosia".
According to Cavusoglu, the "government's order" will come into force in 24 hours.
Havadis continues reporting on the issue with the reaction statements made by the so-called mayor of occupied Lefkosia, Cemal Bulutoglulari.
Under the title: "I will write the end of the scenario", Havadis reports that Cemal Bulutoglulari said that he was shocked by the "government's decision" to force him to 90 days permission of leave and described the decision as illegal, anti-democratic, and contrary to the "constitution".
Supporting that this decision damages the democracy of the "country", Bulutoglulari wondered from where they will get their salaries. He added that he does not have the intention at the moment to resign and said that he will send the decision to the "constitutional court".
Saying that he would not live the UBP (National Unity Party) to the conspirators, Bulutoglulari said that UBP does not belong, neither to Cavusoglu, nor to Irsen Kucuk or Ersin Tatar, but to the supporters of UBP.
Bulutoglulari said further that the day will come soon for those 3-5 "ministers" who are "ministers by accident", as he described them, to give explanations. He also added that he will meet once more with the "prime minister" to ask him to withdraw its decision.
Meanwhile, commenting on the decision of the so-called government, Ozkan Yorgancioglu chairman of the Republican Turkish Party, Mehmet Cakici, chairman of the Social Democracy Party (TDP) Serdar Denktas, chairman of the Democratic Party and Mustafa Kalinkaya, member of the administration board of BES trade union, condemned all the above-taken decision and described it as wrong, illegal and anti-democratic.
[09] The occupation regime has given the "TRNC citizenship" to three more personsTurkish daily Havadis newspaper (05.07.12) under the title: "Last citizenships to Israelis", reports that the so-called council of minister, during its meeting on June 12, has given the "TRNC citizenship" to three more persons.
The names of the persons who took the occupation regime's "citizenship" were published at the "official gazette" and are the following: Ece Oktay from Kadikoy [Translator's note: district of Istanbul, Turkey on the Asian side of the Sea of Marmara], Yuva Michaely and Amikam Marhoom from Israel.
Pointing out the fact that the occupation regime continues distributing "citizenships", the paper underlines that two out of the three persons who illegal took the occupation regime's citizenship are Israelis.
[10] Turkish Cypriot became vice president of the European Small Business AllianceTurkish Cypriot daily Kibris newspaper (05.07.12) reports that a member of the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce (KTTO) became vice president of the European Small Business Alliance (ESBA).
According to the paper, during a meeting of ESBA which took place on June 29, Salih Celiker became vice president of the organisation.
ESBA is one of the largest organizations based on voluntary membership in Europe and represents almost one million small businesses and covers 35 European countries, according to Kibris.
[11] DP is organizing a rally on September 1 demonstrating against the problems of the breakaway regimeUnder the title "We are coming for solution, for change and for transformation" Turkish Cypriot daily Bakis newspaper (05.07.12) reports that the Democratic Party (DP) is organizing a rally on September 1 at the Ataturk square in occupied Lefkosia demonstrating against various problems of the breakaway regime.
According to the paper, DP is distributing leaflets for the event which have the title "wake up signal: we are coming".
[12] Davutoglu accuses the Syrian president of misinterpreting the truthTurkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (05.07.12) reports that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's recent statement that his country's defence forces did not know the Turkish fighter jet's identity when shooting it down was, "a lie," Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said. He added that he did not believe the Syrian leader regretted the incident as he claimed.
Al-Assad misrepresented the truth in his recent interview with daily Cumhuriyet, Davutoglu told daily Vatan yesterday.
Davutoglu rejected al-Assad's claim that the downed Turkish plane was flying in an air corridor used in the past by the Israeli Air Force. "He admitted Israel permanently violated their airspace. If so, which Israeli plane have they shot so far? Furthermore, Syria has already declared war on Israel," the Turkish Foreign Minister said. "Although they did not carry out such an attack against Israel, their attack against us clearly shows that they don't have goodwill for us."
Either al-Assad also lied when he said Syrian radar had not detected the Turkish jet, or Syria's air defence was not as strong as they claimed, Davutoglu said, adding that every move of the Turkish aircraft was open to international observation.
"Another lie is that they could not find anyone to call," the minister said, referring to al-Assad's claim that Syrian authorities could not contact Turkish officials about the incident. Davutoglu said Turkey's consulate in Aleppo and the Turkish ambassador to Syria, who is currently in Turkey, were still active. Al-Assad is "cunningly" trying to restore the Syrian administration's relations with the Turkish Army, the minister said. Turkey would not allow that and would not continue military ties with an army "murdering its people," Davutoglu said.
In addition, Turkish daily Hurriyet Daily News (05.07.12) also reports that a funeral ceremony will take place in eastern Malatya province for the two Turkish pilots who were killed after their military plane was downed by Syria.
Turkish National Defence Minister Ismet Yilmaz said that the ceremony for pilots Gokhan Ertan and Hasan Huseyin Aksoy would take place on Friday.
Yilmaz said that the bodies of the pilots had been found in the wreckage of the plane.
[13] Turkey to open 24 new representations overseas in 2012Ankara Anatolia news agency (04.07.12) reports that speaking at a meeting of the Presidency of Turks and Relative Communities Overseas, Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Naci Koru said that to offer better services for Turks who live abroad, they were effectively working to open 24 new representations around the world in 2012.
"Primarily we want to increase number of representations where Turks densely live. We currently have 122 embassies and 71 consulate generals but to give better services we will increase these numbers," said Koru. TURKISH AFFAIRS SECTION

Once you will be totally aware of all of the aspects , you will be in a position to take the proper decision.
Need as well as reason for debt consolidation .
Debt consolidation , in short , is to get a greater loan so as to pay off all your other , small loans. Debt consolidation may not look beneficial option, but there are benefits. Do not forget , that in the previous loan there are smaller installments yet the interest added will increase the total sum.

With that , if you have individual assets like a home , you can obtain a really good deal.
Procedure to receive sanction for debt consolidation .
Debt Consultant: Needless to say , you dont wish to get caught with more loans after repaying your older ones. For this reason , debt consolidation has got certain firm conditions that really must be met otherwise ; the debt consolidation loan is not sanctioned.
The first condition to get authorization for debt consolidation loan is your earnings. Loan repayment should be feasible for the individual taking the loan. The prerequisite varies from one issuer to another. There exists a fixed ratio between loan and income that must be satisfied. Disposable income is the income left after deduction of taxes and social security charges , available to be spent or invested as one would like , and for debt consolidation loan approval , one should have minimum 15% income as disposable income.
The past credit score is the other significant criterion to agree to the loan. The money we are considering is a significant portion , and hence the service provider giving it to you must make sure you are able to pay it back. They track your credit history by your pay records . This basically indicates , how proficient you have been earlier with settlement. If previously you have not defaulted in repaying your loans and debts along with other invoices , this part should not be a concern.
Job assurance and house is also a highly important criterion to get a debt consolidation loan. If you have never switched over your work in the past one year and are also staying in the same residence , you will have one more benefit in getting your loan sanctioned. This decides your vision and attitude towards life , if you can be working and residing in the exact same place for longer than one year , you have a certain maturity and this raises your chances of paying back of the loan in due time.
The company as well gives more preference while offering loans to people who posses useful assets. Your loan is nevertheless approved because this will never cause any hindrance in loan sanction.

|Assistant Coach
|Sixth Season at CSU (Third as Assistant Coach)
Visnu Maharaj enters his sixth overall season on staff at Cleveland State in 2019 and his first as the top assistant coach. He was promoted to assistant coach following the 2016 season after serving as the Director of Operations for the previous three campaigns.
Maharaj, who primarily works with defensive players, helped the Vikings to a pair of wins over Power Five programs in 2018, the first such occurrence for the program in over 25 years. He also guided CSU to a win over eventual Horizon League champion UIC, one of just two defeats for the Flames in their last 19 matches against league opponents as of the conclusion of the 2018 season.
Maharaj helped the Vikings reach the Horizon League Tournament Semifinals in his first season as an assistant. Cleveland State won its Tournament quarterfinal match with a 4-0 victory at Wright State, the largest margin of victory by CSU in its Horizon League Tournament history. The Vikings also became the first team since 1999 to win a HL Tournament contest by at least four goals as the lower-seeded team in the match.
With Maharaj's assistance, the Vikings improved over 50 places in the RPI from the season prior. Cleveland State played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the nation, as its non-conference strength of schedule ranked 15th at the end of the regular season. CSU faced 10 teams among the top 101 in the RPI, the most in the League, as the Vikings faced three top-15 squads and two that advanced to the Elite Eight.
Maharaj was tasked with helping an incredibly young back line. In 13 of 19 matches, CSU started two newcomers at central defense. The Vikings also started three true freshmen on their four-man back line in both of their HL Tournament matches. Despite the youth, the Vikings allowed only 10 goals from the run of play in their final 16 matches of the campaign.
Primarily a central defender, Maharaj earned a pair of letters as a student-athlete with the Vikings (2012, 2013). In his time with Cleveland State, he was a key component of the CSU defense, appearing in 17 matches and making 13 starts. He helped the Vikings claim the 2012 Horizon League Championship and earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Maharaj, who was forced to retire in 2013 due to injury, was the team captain of the Nashville Metros of the Premier Development League in 2012. He also played for Rocket City United of the National Premier Soccer League in 2010.
Maharaj was a member of the Venezuelan U-17 National Team and competed in the South American U-17 Championship in 2009, where berths to the U-17 World Cup were determined. He also competed in the U-15 South American Championship in 2007. In his youth international days, he played against the likes of Coutinho, Neymar and Casemiro.
Maharaj was invited to the residency program at Brad Friedel's Premier Soccer Academy and Columbus Crew Academy in his youth days. He played alongside Wil Trapp, a MLS All-Star for the Columbus Crew and U.S. national team captain, and Carlos Salcedo, a Mexican international player and former member of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
In 2009, Maharaj was invited to preseason camp with the Colorado Rapids of the MLS but rejected an amateur contract offer.
Maharaj also serves as the Director of the High School Boys Program for Cleveland Force Soccer Club (formerly CSA Impact United).
Maharaj earned a Bachelor's degree in international business in 2015 and a graduate degree in sports management in 2017, both from Cleveland State. He resides in downtown Cleveland with his wife, Victoria, one of the all-time winningest tennis players in Cleveland State history.

Having previously looked on the overarching definition of what constitutes a lawyer within the UK, and then the extra specific definition of a solicitor with their specific tasks, the second installment of this text focuses on the comparative definition of a barrister, with a further mention of the concept of lawyer. Within the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey and on the Isle of Man , Advocates carry out the combined functions of each solicitors and barristers. In the widespread law custom, the respective roles of a lawyer – that's as legal adviser and advocate – have been formally split into two separate, regulated sub-professions, the other being the workplace of solicitor.
Whereas at the least the Bar is an affiliation embracing all its members, it's normally the case, either de facto or de jure, that the Bar is invested with regulatory powers over the style through which barristers practise. As a barrister you'll plead the case on behalf of your shopper and the consumer's solicitor.
With a eager curiosity in contract legislation, his main research focuses on small companies, and the way they can better navigate complex legal procedures. Additionally, some state appellate courts require attorneys to acquire a separate certificate of admission to plead and practise within the appellate court docket.
Enrollment with a Bar Council also signifies that the law diploma holder is acknowledged as a Barrister and is required to maintain a requirements of conduct and skilled demeanor at all times, both on and off the career. A barrister will often have rights of audience within the increased courts, whereas other authorized professionals will usually have more limited entry, or might want to purchase additional skills to have such entry.
Firstly, it is advisable that you just work as a solicitor for a couple of years, which is a requirement in some jurisdictions. In New Zealand, the professions are not formally fused but practitioners are enrolled in the Excessive Courtroom as "Barristers and Solicitors".

Obama, Morsi and Alice's Looking-glass
Morsi's fate, indeed that of Egypt might have been predicted had America's president not been so headstrong, or his advisers so blinded by their own arrogant brilliance. Not for no reason had the Muslim Brotherhood, before its "reformation" thanks to Obama, been outlawed as a threat to Egypt, inspirer of terrorism including the assassination of Sadat, and parenting such terror organizations as Hamas and al-Quaeda. Only American foreign policy could mistake internal Brotherhood cohesion and political stability for "moderation" and "democratic" possibilities. Nor is this fanciful policy limited to Obama in Egypt (lesson learned [credit where due] in Syria), but then there was Bush, Jr spending tens of thousands of lives, American servicepersons and Iraqis to create a satellite for Iran in the Arabian Peninsula, or the same Bush, Jr insisting an armed Islamist Hamas participate in "free and fair" elections in Palestine (then encourage and fund a Fateh coup to oust the Islamists from Gaza, yet another spectacular failure of judgment!).
But let's start at the beginning. First the reasons for his downfall: brazenly committed to Brotherhood ideology of a Sharia state and extended caliphate. Can a theocracy be imposed on a state already secular? Sidestepping the question of whether theocracy can replace modernizing secularism in transitional states such as Egypt, Turkey and possibly Syria, that it is attempted by an ostensibly democratically elected president with a heavy hand and total disregard for democratic opposition is certain to result in opposition. That those ignored are the same younger and more educated unemployed whose protests led the American president to oust Mubarak (when all the protesters wanted was jobs and food) was obviously going to incite a repeat of Tahrir. Under Morsi the conditions that led to Mubarak's downfall only grew worse as he dismissed parliament, installed his Islamist constitution and pressed ahead with Islamism over economy.
Not that Morsi could have succeeded where Mubarak failed in turning the economy around. With a rapidly growing population and global warming shrinking arable land; with water the battleground of the future; with little to offer in trade to generate income, Egypt is dependent on foreign aid to stay afloat and in a global Great Recession foreign aide is also in short supply.
But at the source of the region's political instability is a naïve, possibly callous American foreign policy. As regards Obama's "light touch" (compared to Bush, Jr) to promote America's diplomacy pillar, its Theology of Democracy (can theology provide for change in a sectarian world; can "democracy" be imposed from without?): while the reason[s] for Bush deposing the Sunnis in Iraq may ever remain obscure, Obama's motives are more apparent. Yes, the naïveté of assuming the protesters "yearned to be free:" democracy by deposing the "tyrant." But that was his illusion, not what Tahrir Square was about (just jobs and food). But Obama likely had another motive masked by Freedom for the People (which was made obvious when the streets again filled, with Morsi as president, and Obama stood silent as the same youthful protesters of Tahrir were brutally attacked, the Square cleared). In fact, once Bush shoved Humpty Dumpty off the Iraqi wall, there was nothing the UScould do to repair the damage, the instability imposed on the region. And with oil shale worldwide making the Middle East an increasingly sandy wasteland with diminishing strategic value (the Canal and still near time dependence on ME oil: but worth fighting over in a time of domestic economic difficulties?). So best try to make as graceful and surreptitious an exit as possible (oh yes, China! Don't we have an emerging threat in the Far East more pressing than [fill in the blank]?) and so our "lead from behind" president shoehorned the only political party capable of ruling Egypt-minus-Mubarak and the military, the previously outlawed for good reason Muslim Brotherhood into power to stabilize (sic) the most stabilizing regional Arab state! Deposing America's most dependable leader allied with US in the region was no less brilliant than deposing Iran's only barrier to the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, Sadam. But whoever accused the US of brilliance? The US still has the "mightiest" military in the world to assert credibility.
A military that proceeded, due to a breakdown in diplomatic intelligence, to lose two wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan (the latter temporarily a "victory" thanks to irregular US forces). Attendant those failures, the US military lost its courage and, has since, avoided even the most egregious challenges by adversaries, great and tiny, Russia and Iran. America's defense chiefs, military and civilian, have serially argued of unforeseen consequences for going to war. And with US military credibility crumbled alongside American diplomatic and, worst of all presidential: with his ousting of Mubarak (against the advice, even pleas of the Saudis and Israel) no country in the region, and perhaps worldwide trusts America's judgment, will or word.
But there is yet a silver lining to recent events. Difficult to find common cause with Syria's Assad, but the butcher of Damascus was recently headlined as saying that with the fall of the Egyptian MB America's model for "regional stability" through Islamist "democracy" also disappeared.
It may not promote regional stability but at least there won't be a unified Brotherhood caliphate surrounding Israel.

Dxo Optics Pro v11.3.0 Build 58 Elite Multilingual (Mac OSX) | 410 MB
Thanks to DxO OpticsPro's exclusive technologies, instantly correct all the optical defects of your equipment, remove digital noise even at high sensitivities, recover fine details and textures in dark or burnt areas, and bring out all the nuances of color in your images. With DxO OpticsPro's outstanding performance, bring out the best in your RAW and JPEG photos in just a few clicks, regardless of shooting conditions.
DxO Smart Lighting: Between shadow and light
Uncover important details and textures in underexposed and overexposed areas of your image with Smart Lighting, DxO's exclusive automatic exposure optimization. The information that you thought was absent in your RAW files is instantly revealed, even in strongly backlit areas and the deepest shadows.
To further refine the different brightness ranges, from the darkest to the brightest areas, use the Selective Tone controls. For a more natural looking rendering of your images, the Shadows and Highlights sliders have been redesigned to recover the maximum amount of information without flattening the midtones.
The advent of Spot corrections
DxO OpticsPro 11 introduces a new feature, Spot Weighted mode, which provides the same results as as spot metering in camera, but with the added benefit of post-capture fine-tuning capabilities.
Smart Lighting uses face detection to apply an intelligent tone map on the entire image, to better extend the dynamic range, add fill light, and improve contrast while optimizing illumination on faces.
PRIME 2016: Don't be afraid of the dark anymore
Detailed and stunning images, even at the highest ISO values: DxO OpticsPro's revolutionary DxO PRIME 2016 denoising technology has been designed to achieve optimal photographic quality. Its advanced algorithms read your camera calibration data, then analyze the image structure in depth to differentiate between noise and fine details with an unprecedented degree of automated precision. For each pixel, nearly a thousand neighboring pixels are studied to identify their similarities and to recombine information, resulting in perfectly denoised photos.
Even faster and more efficient
Bokehs and smooth transitions are even better preserved, as are fine details and colors, particularly in the shadows; and textures are conserved to produce images of exceptional quality.
With a newly-optimized algorithm, the DxO PRIME 2016 technology processes your RAW files up 4 times faster than before: in fact, the higher the sensitivity, the bigger the benefit of processing time.
Tailor-made optical corrections that defy the laws of optics
In our laboratories, using state-of-the-art scientific calibration and testing technologies, DxO's engineers have compiled the world's largest library of information regarding cameras and lenses. With now nearly 30,000 optics module combinations at the ready for you to download when needed, DxO OpticsPro can automatically apply the most precise corrections, perfectly adapted to your exact photographic equipment.
DxO OpticsPro corrects all the optical defects in your photos with unrivaled quality: distortion (barrel, pincushion, and fisheye); vignetting; chromatic aberrations; and lens softness, by homogenizing the sharpness from the center to the corners of the image.
DxO Lens softness: Improve the sharpness of your images
DxO OpticsPro 11 enhances details with unparalleled accuracy. Thanks to a perfect knowledge of how your lens performs, the exclusive Lens softness tool harmonizes the sharpness in the field and makes your images razor sharp, whatever your equipment. Colors are perfectly preserved and artifacts are minimized even when you push the settings.
DxO presets: Apply multiple corrections with a single click
DxO OpticsPro offers you presets that have been carefully designed to respond to your photographic intentions, whatever they may be: portrait, landscape, black & white, single-shot HDR.... You can also express your creativity with atmospheric presets that enhance your photos with desaturation, color filters, etc. Quickly access the various available presets by using the floating palette, preview the results in thumbnail form, and then apply them directly to your image with a click. Create a customized look with the presets editor, then save your settings and apply them to an entire series of photos seamlessly as a batch process.
Full-screen display
View your images in full-screen mode for an immersive experience that lets you rapidly browse through your photo library while maintaining the display of useful EXIF data.
By removing unnecessary distractions, you can more easily rate and select your images for retouching and export, while using new keyboard shortcuts to help you sort through hundreds of photos quicker than ever.
Red-eye correction (NEW)
Thanks to both face and eye detection, red eyes are automatically identified and corrected, which allows you to make the corrections on dozens of photos as a batch process.
Get rid of colorful patterns that appear on fine textures (fences, cloth, tiles, etc.).
Color rendering: consistency is key
Thanks to the calibration of equipment in our laboratories, you can stay true to your camera's color rendering, or you can choose another rendering to ensure uniformity among a series of photos taken with different cameras.
Protection of saturated colors
Bring out all the richness of the details and textures in your shots, even in the areas of brightest colors.
ICC profile management
Match rendered colors using ICC profiles for vivid prints.
Get rid of the specks that appear on your photos because of dust present on your lens or sensor in one click. Also works with batch processing.
Image sorting
Sort your photos according to several criteria such as camera type, ISO value, processing status, and virtual copy number.
Integrated printing
Quickly and easily product full-size prints or contact sheets with full control over layout, metadata, color profile, rendering mode, sharpness, and more.
Retina screen compatibility
Enjoy all the visual quality offered by Retina screens and preview your images in high definition on Mac OS X.

Syfy has picked up "Nightflyers" for a ten-episode first season according to author George R. R. Martin who penned the original 1980 novella and serves as executive producer on the project.
In the project a crew of explorers journey on the most advanced ship in the galaxy, The Nightflyer, to intercept a mysterious alien spacecraft that might hold the key to Earth's survival.
As the crew nears their destination, they discover that the ship's artificial intelligence and never-seen captain may be steering them into deadly and unspeakable horrors deep in the dark reaches of space.
Daniel Cerone will act as showrunner while Jeff Buhler has penned the pilot for the series which will be shot in Ireland. The series aims to debut late July on Syfy in the U.S. and on Netflix around the rest of the world.

SQ cloud form
Breath Weapon (Su)
A cloud dragon's breath weapon is a powerful cone of icy cold air. When a cloud dragon uses its breath weapon, make a single bull rush attack using the dragon's CMB against the CMD of any creature that failed its Reflex save and is three or more size categories smaller than the dragon. This bull rush does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and the dragon cannot choose to move with any opponent pushed back. In addition to being pushed back, affected creatures are knocked prone and take 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet they are pushed back. Flying creatures are buffeted and pushed back twice the distance and sustain 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet they are pushed back.
Cold Bite (Su)
At old age, a cloud dragon's bite deals an additional 2d6 points of cold damage. An ancient dragon's damage increases to 4d6, and a great wrym's to 6d6.
Cloud Form (Su)
As a standard action, a juvenile or older cloud dragon can assume gaseous form at will, but it can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 20 feet with perfect maneuverability.
Cloud Vision (Ex)
A very young cloud dragon can see perfectly in foggy conditions (such as those created by fog cloud or obscuring mist).
Immunity to Winds (Su)
A cloud dragon is immune to the effects of wind. It ignores the penalties applied to the Fly skill incurred by wind speed, and is immune to the negative effects of any spell or effect that manipulates wind, such as gust of wind and whirlwind.
Environment temperate and warm mountains
Organization solitary or clan (2–5)
Treasure triple standard
Cloud dragons are the most reclusive of all dragons, rarely leaving the safety and sanctity of their cloudy lairs. They have a great dislike for non-flying creatures and creatures that must use non-natural means to fly (such as through magical items or spells). A cloud dragon wyrmling's scales are silvery-blue with a slight hint of red at the tip of each scale. As the dragon ages, its color slowly changes to a bright sunset orange. The oldest cloud dragons resemble gold dragons, save for the large bony plates on their heads and backs.
Cloud dragons are not highly aggressive, but dislike interlopers and attack them on sight. They open combat using their breath weapon, followed by their spell-like abilities. A cloud dragon rarely lands, preferring to fight from the air.

Back to School...?/
What people mean by this, I suppose, is that since school usually begins around the beginning of September, one wants as much time as possible for our children to prepare for the holidays. When Rosh Hashana comes out in early September, teachers know it is practically impossible to teach the children all about selichos and Rosh Hashana and Aseres Yemei Tshuva and Yom Kippur and Sukkos and Simchas Torah in two weeks! So what we really mean is that we want the holiday to come on time, according to our school calendars. So in the ideal year Rosh Chodesh Elul should correspond with September first (or perhaps Labor Day in the United States).
Starting the new school year does have a bit of the Elul feel to it. Since Elul is the last month of the year, we all try to put our lives in order before the Yom Hadin (Judgment Day). We may not have kept up all of the kabalos that we made last Elul and perhaps we have slipped in other areas of our life. But come Elul we feel that we can start now to put our lives back into order and go into the New Year with a fresh start.
The same is true for our children. Perhaps they haven't always been the best students; maybe they fell back in certain subjects and performed below their capabilities. But come the new school year, most children feel that they have the opportunity to make a fresh start. They have their new books freshly covered. Their new school supplies in their bags and a determination that this year will be different. They will be ideal students this year.
It reminds me on a certain level of the famous vort by the Satmer Rebbe. The posuk in parshas Aikev describes Eretz Yisroel as a land where the eyes of Hashem is upon it "mereshis hashana ad acharis shana," "from the beginning of the year until the end of a year." Why, asked the Satmer Rebbe, does it switch from "the year" to "a year"? The answer he gives is that every year we tell ourselves that this is going to be the year, but somehow it just ends up being a year, just another average year instead of the exceptional one that we had anticipated. So how can we as parents help our children succeed in school this year. How can we make this year "the year" for them?
Let me deal for a moment with another problem and perhaps this will provide the answer. As I write this article there are 150 girls in Yerushalayim who have no place in a ninth grade for this coming school year. What they will do and how they will manage is a difficult question. But the frustration and humiliation that the girls and their families are facing is beyond description. One parent wrote a poem describing her feelings, which brought tears to my eyes when I read it.
By Tzvia Hirsch
She's sitting with her hands clenched
Her knuckles turning white
Worrying if she will manage
To handle it all right
Her stomach's turned in knots
She hasn't slept in days
What could possibly inspire
This terror driven craze?
You see, she's waiting for her interview
Be there promptly, 2:15
It's hard for an eighth grader
Who's only just thirteen
For eight years now she's gone to school
Tried to do her best
She never was exceptional
A girl, like all the rest
She got up every morning
Like every other girl
Her parents always loved her
Their precious little pearl
But now she sits here worrying
She knows what this day means
It's hard for an eighth grader
Who's only just thirteen
You see, there are a lot of girls out there
And there aren't enough places
How will they pick the lucky ones
From this frightened sea of faces?
Everyone knows that there's a problem
And someone really oughta
Figure out a way to help
My tortured little daughter
So worried for her future
For there is no in between
It's hard for an eighth grader
Who's only just thirteen
Her marks are not quite high enough
Her clothes may not pass inspection
Her family are foreigners
They haven't got protection
For thousands of nice families
Have dreaded this for years
How many heartfelt tefillos
How many heartfelt tears?
So now she sits and waits to find
If she's the milk or she's the cream
It's hard for an eighth grader
Who's only just thirteen
Her turn has come at last
Into the room she's led
She's frightened the wrong answers
Will pop into her head
There's no way for her to study
For this most important test
She only has five minutes
To stand out from the rest
The lady looks her up and down
She knows what that look means
It's hard for an eighth grader
Who's only just thirteen
With a flick of a small pencil
Her future they'll decide
Will she be accepted
And be allowed inside?
Than a high school education
Will be awarded as her prize
Oh what a success she'll be
In everybody's eyes
Or will she be rejected
Going nowhere so it seems
It's hard for an eighth grader
Who's only just thirteen
Finally it's September
Bookbags have been bought
New supplies and uniforms
All is as it ought
They're under no illusions
High school will not be easy
Reports and tests will change these girls
Who once were bright and breezy
But here and there a girl sits home
In a world that's turned so mean
It's hard to have no school you see,
When you're only just fourteen
The heart wrenching experience for these parents and those who want to help them is hard to imagine. And people ask me, why doesn't somebody do something? Who are the villains responsible for this situation?
The truth is, I don't believe it is anyone's fault. Boruch Hashem, the religious community is growing by leaps and bounds, kein yirbu. If families were blessed with six, seven or eight children, then our educational infrastructure needs to increase six or seven fold to keep up with the natural demographic growth. And it isn't. I have spoken with the heads of the seminaries and can assure you that they are all honest, concerned individuals who are trying the best that they can. But if there are already fifty girls in a class and those girls are suffering from a lack of attention because of the large class size and the facilities are strained beyond capacity, what can they do? It's easy to point fingers and demand that someone do something, but whom?
Which brings me back to my original point. A menahel in a cheder in Yerushalayim told a friend of mine recently that it is common to see fathers who are makpid to perform the millah on their sons themselves. They don't want to merely appoint a mohel as a shaliach to perform this important mitzvah; they want to do it themselves. However, he noted, I have never had a parent offer to take over their son's class for a day. When it comes to chinuch, they are suddenly quite content to leave the important mitzvah of talmud torah to others.
Now obviously no one expects parents to walk into the classroom and take it over. Rather he was trying to point out the disinterest that many parents display to their own children's educational needs. "Someone should do something" is the clarion call. Someone; but not me.
I know a wonderful couple that moved here from the United States, Dr. and Mrs Jay Sultan. Mrs. Sultan had been involved in chinuch in America and she saw the problem of lack of space. She also felt that there was a need for a girls high school that could provide a warm atmosphere that many girls simply need in order to succeed. So she and her husband decided to open a girl's Bais Yaakov high school in Beit Shemesh, and called it Ko Tomar. Over the year that they have been running it they have encountered enormous difficulties including government hostility and tremendous financial pressures. Nonetheless they have plowed ahead and for this coming year they are filled beyond capacity.
I spoke with Dr. Sultan recently and he described to me the pressures that he is encountering from parents who want him to accept their children, even though there isn't room for another desk in the apartments that serve as the school. He said something that was very powerful to me. "I told one of these parents, why don't you start your own school? I am no more qualified then you are, but I saw a need and I addressed it."
Parents were apparently shocked by this suggestion. "Me? I'm nobody!" Somebody should do something about this. The Alter of Novardek used to say, "I never asked myself whether or not I could do something. I asked myself if something should be done, and then I knew that Hashem would give me the ability to do it." If people see there is a problem then we should feel an achrayis to get involved and raise the money or do whatever is necessary to solve the situation.
But for now let's focus on something more fundamental. If we want our children to succeed in school then we should remember that the school is merely our shaliach; the ultimate responsibility lies with us. One rebbe complained that he only heard from parents when they were upset. A small note of thanks when things were going well, or even to discuss their child's progress was never forthcoming. There are parents who have never met their children's teachers because they are always too busy to attend class meetings or parent-teacher conferences.
Let us resolve for this coming year to work hand in hand with our children's teachers and rebbeim so that we can make this year the school year for our children.

Getting Ready for Eircode
Eircode, the new postcode system for Ireland is launching in July 2015. To begin, all residents and businesses will receive a letter notifying them of the Eircode for their address. An Eircode is a location code for all Irish addresses that will identify an individual address – rural or urban – and help show exactly where it is located. Every residential address and business will receive a unique Eircode. Addresses will not change; an Eircode will simply be added to current addresses.
The Wheel, working closely with Irish Rural Link, are involved in a nationwide effort, to reach out to people who may get left behind when Eircodes are introduced. The Eircode Community Outreach Programme wants to reach out to people who are older, people who have less formal education, or people who are disadvantaged (for example, people who have a disability or who live alone and have few social networks). The programme also wants to include people who live in rural areas to make sure they know about Eircode and how it can be of benefit. To help this to happen, the programme has appointed a number of 'Outreach Champions' to raise awareness of Eircode.
Shauna Farrell, the Outreach Champion for Cavan/Monaghan is hoping to get as many community and voluntary organisations as possible involved in the Outreach Programme. Could you get the word out through your organisation? Does your organisation know or work with any of the people that this programme is trying to reach? Could you hold an event this summer to reach out to some of these people in your area?
If your organisation would be interested in helping to build awareness of Eircode in your community, particularly among the people who might be left behind, could you please contact Shauna at Monaghan Integrated Development, Monaghan Road, Castleblayney. Telephone: 0429749500 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
