Integrating Cleaner Cotton™
Integrating Cleaner Cotton™ into Product Lines Cotton fiber follows a complex route from the farm to retail shelves and most brands are unaware of the origin of the cotton fiber in their products.
It takes about one year from the time cotton fiber is harvested in the fall until the final cotton product arrives in the retail store. To guarantee a supply of Cleaner Cotton™ for production, a retailer must communicate with its supplier well in advance to make their fiber needs clear so the message can reach the growers in time for planting in the spring.
Here are some tips for bringing Cleaner Cotton™ into your company's products: • Educate Management: Present Cleaner Cotton™ and its benefits to managers and company owners to generate support at all levels of the organization. SCP offers toolkits, images and presentation materials to help promote the Cleaner Cotton™ story.
• Educate Peers: When employees understand the economic and environmental importance of California-grown Cleaner Cotton™, they work to support the extra time it takes to develop new Cleaner Cotton™ products. Even more critical, an informed retail sales team is able to communicate the background story to the consumer regarding Cleaner Cotton™ products. SCP provides annual farm tours so employees across the company can meet farmers and learn first-hand about the environmental issues associated with cotton and the challenges in converting acres.??
• Prepare in Advance: Work with design, production and sales/merchandising personnel a year ahead of the target retail launch to project the number of units that will be produced with Cleaner Cotton™. SCP can help translate product units and fabric weights into pounds of cotton fiber needed and can facilitate dialogues and meetings with supply chain partners.
• Specify Cleaner Cotton™ on spec sheets and purchase orders. These official documents from your company are needed to prompt your manufacturers, weavers and spinners to ask for and order Cleaner Cotton™ fiber.
• Connect into the Cleaner Cotton™ supply chain: Cleaner Cotton™ is now available as baled fiber, as roving, in yarns up to 1/30's, and in French terry, jersey and 1 x 1 rib fabric constructions. SCP can connect you to our supply chain partners and preferred handlers.
• Integrate Cleaner Cotton™ into your own supply chain: Cleaner Cotton™ fiber can be shipped to an agent/spinner/manufacturer of your choice anywhere in the world. Ask SCP to introduce you to our co-op cotton marketer for more details.
• Promote Your Cleaner Cotton™ Products: SCP provides accurate language and artwork for the Cleaner Cotton™ logo to be used on hangtags and promotional point of sale materials.

5 Things To Know Before Hiring A Custom Dissertation Writing Agency
Writing a dissertation will be one of the most difficult academic projects you will ever encounter as a student. It's a tremendous step towards your professional career and is the pinnacle of your entire academic training. It's easy to see why so much emphasis is placed on getting this project done correctly, and for many students that means seeking outside help from professionals. Hiring a custom dissertation writing agency is a great idea, but there are a few things you need to know before selecting one:
- Check Customer or Client Review Sites
- Get Suggestions from Online Community
- Contact Customer Support for Inquiries
- Review Provider Experience and Portfolio
- Check for Revision Policies and Procedures
It's never a good idea to select the first company that shows up on a search results screen. You should do a little digging to find out more about what others have to say about their experiences hiring that company. Start with a list of about 5 or 6 companies and check some independent review sites to get unbiased opinions.
Another great place to find out about a company is to ask members of the online community directly. Jump onto a chatroom or forum and post a question asking for suggestions or specifics about those companies you are considering. Not all business are created equal and hearing opinions from others around the world will give you better insight when you make a decision.
Be direct in your approach towards hiring a custom dissertation writing agency and contact customer support. Find out as much as you can about a company's processes. Pay attention to how the custom support representative treats you when responding. Are your questions answered clearly? Does the representative skirt around answers? Take all of this into consideration.
The best custom dissertation writing agencies allow clients to view the profile and relevant experience for each of their writers. This is an excellent way of knowing that the person who takes on your assignment is qualified to do so and can present you with the kind of product you require as a graduate student.
Lastly, be sure to check for revision policies and procedures. A lot of great companies offer one free revision if you aren't completely satisfied. However, you might need to submit a request weeks before your deadline (as opposed to a day or two before). Check for these and be sure to bring any part that is confusing to customer support for clarification.

What Are Commodities?
Commodities are basically raw materials we use to build our world. People use energy to sustain themselves, metals to produce cars, jewellery, weapons and tools, and farming & agricultural products to look after their livestock, put food on the table which we buy from our local supermarkets such as Tesco, morrisons and waitrose. The global economy is essentially based on the share price of these basic commodities, hence why traders also trade commodities online.
Commodities usually share the following criteria:
- Tradability:
Commodities have to firstly be 'tradable'. There needs to be a viable investment vehicle to enable you to trade shares in it. A commodity is generally included if it has a futures contract assigned to it on one of the major stock exchanges, or if a company processes it, or if there's an ETF that tracks it.
- Liquidity:
Liquidity is extremely critical share attribute, as it gives you options of getting in and out of a share investment without having to face the difficulty finding other buyers or sellers for your securities. Commodities in this learning centre has an active market with buyers and sellers constantly transacting with one another.
- Deliverability:
UK and Worldwide commodities have to be physically deliverable. Crude oil can be delivered in barrels and gas can be delivered by companies in the UK such as EON, Npower and British Gas. Smaller companies in the UK also deliver this commodity in canisters. Wheat is also included because it can be delivered by the bushel, so you get the idea.

Updates on the arrivals to Agathonisi , Greek island, yesterday, Friday 18th March
The refugees that arrived in Agathonisi this morning, from Syria and Eritrea, arrived extremely wet and extremely distressed. Many have been badly beaten by the Turkish coast guard.
This is what happened last night, early hours of the morning. On arrival to Agathonisi, many had cuts and bruises. All were soaking wet and very distressed. All are sleeping now, fretful sleep over todays news and what lies ahead…We wait to see what tonight brings.
Although still wounded and fragile, the refugees in Agathonisi have now had two hot meals today and the children are happily drinking milk and munching on chocolate biscuits. All have blankets, dry socks and underwear, nappies wipes, water juice etc…and MSF are tending to all medical needs. We wait to find out when they will be transferred to Samos.
Saturday 19th March
We had breakfast in our apartment this morning with one of these families. The father of the young girl in the video ( sitting alone) wept openly as they recalled what happened and the distress etched on the face of his young daughter. These are parents trying to better a life for their young families, they are not pawns in some political game of chess and are certainly not " for trade".
Thank you to all who allow us to support them, and we ask for your support to continue.Our paypal link is still the irish in Gaza account, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you so much, Derek and Jenny.
More refugees arrived here last night, thankfully all safe.

Read an Excerpt
The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting. As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors. It cast its eyes upon the roads, which were growing from long troughs of liquid mud to proper thoroughfares. A river, amber-tinted in the shadow of its banks, purled at the army's feet; and at night, when the stream had become of a sorrowful blackness, one could see across it the red, eyelike gleam of hostile camp-fires set in the low brows of distant hills.
Once a certain tall soldier developed virtues and went resolutely to wash a shirt. He came flying back from a brook waving his garment bannerlike. He was swelled with a tale he had heard from a reliable friend, who had heard it from a truthful cavalryman, who had heard it from his trustworthy brother, one of the orderlies at division headquarters. He adopted the important air of a herald in red and gold.
"We're goin't' move t' morrah — sure," he said pompously to a group in the company street. "We're goin' 'way up the river, cut across, an' come around in behint 'em."
To his attentive audience he drew a loud and elaborate plan of a very brilliant campaign. When he had finished, the blue-clothed men scattered into small arguing groups between the rows of squat brown huts. A negro teamster who had been dancing upon a cracker box with the hilarious encouragement of twoscore soldiers was deserted. He sat mournfully down. Smoke drifted lazily from a multitude of quaint chimneys.
"It's a lie! that's all it is — a thunderin' lie!" said another private loudly. His smooth face was flushed, and his hands were thrust sulkily into his trousers' pockets. He took the matter as an affront to him. "I don't believe the derned old army's ever going to move. We're set. I've got ready to move eight times in the last two weeks, and we ain't moved yet."
The tall soldier felt called upon to defend the truth of a rumor he himself had introduced. He and the loud one came near to fighting over it.
A corporal began to swear before the assemblage. He had just put a costly board floor in his house, he said. During the early spring he had refrained from adding extensively to the comfort of his environment because he had felt that the army might start on the march at any moment. Of late, however, he had been impressed that they were in a sort of eternal camp.
Many of the men engaged in a spirited debate. One outlined in a peculiarly lucid manner all the plans of the commanding general. He was opposed by men who advocated that there were other plans of campaign. They clamored at each other, numbers making futile bids for the popular attention. Meanwhile, the soldier who had fetched the rumor bustled about with much importance. He was continually assailed by questions.
"What's up, Jim?"
"Th'army's goin't' move."
"Ah, what yeh talkin' about? How yeh know it is?"
"Well, yeh kin b'lieve me er not, jest as yeh like. I don't care a hang."
There was much food for thought in the manner in which he replied. He came near to convincing them by disdaining to produce proofs. They grew much excited over it.
There was a youthful private who listened with eager ears to the words of the tall soldier and to the varied comments of his comrades. After receiving a fill of discussions concerning marches and attacks, he went to his hut and crawled through an intricate hole that served it as a door. He wished to be alone with some new thoughts that had lately come to him.
He lay down on a wide bunk that stretched across the end of the room. In the other end, cracker boxes were made to serve as furniture. They were grouped about the fireplace. A picture from an illustrated weekly was upon the log walls, and three rifles were paralleled on pegs. Equipments hung on handy projections, and some tin dishes lay upon a small pile of firewood. A folded tent was serving as a roof. The sunlight, without, beating upon it, made it glow a light yellow shade. A small window shot an oblique square of whiter light upon the cluttered floor. The smoke from the fire at times neglected the clay chimney and wreathed into the room, and this flimsy chimney of clay and sticks made endless threats to set ablaze the whole establishment.
The youth was in a little trance of astonishment. So they were at last going to fight. On the morrow, perhaps, there would be a battle, and he would be in it. For a time he was obliged to labor to make himself believe. He could not accept with assurance an omen that he was about to mingle in one of those great affairs of the earth.
He had, of course, dreamed of battles all his life — of vague and bloody conflicts that had thrilled him with their sweep and fire. In visions he had seen himself in many struggles. He had imagined peoples secure in the shadow of his eagle-eyed prowess. But awake he had regarded battles as crimson blotches on the pages of the past. He had put them as things of the bygone with his thought-images of heavy crowns and high castles. There was a portion of the world's history which he had regarded as the time of wars, but it, he thought, had been long gone over the horizon and had disappeared forever.
From his home his youthful eyes had looked upon the war in his own country with distrust. It must be some sort of a play affair. He had long despaired of witnessing a Greeklike struggle. Such would be no more, he had said. Men were better, or more timid. Secular and religious education had effaced the throat-grappling instinct, or else firm finance held in check the passions.
He had burned several times to enlist. Tales of great movements shook the land. They might not be distinctly Homeric, but there seemed to be much glory in them. He had read of marches, sieges, conflicts, and he had longed to see it all. His busy mind had drawn for him large pictures extravagant in color, lurid with breathless deeds.
But his mother had discouraged him. She had affected to look with some contempt upon the quality of his war ardor and patriotism. She could calmly seat herself and with no apparent difficulty give him many hundreds of reasons why he was of vastly more importance on the farm than on the field of battle. She had had certain ways of expression that told him that her statements on the subject came from a deep conviction. Moreover, on her side, was his belief that her ethical motive in the argument was impregnable.
At last, however, he had made firm rebellion against this yellow light thrown upon the color of his ambitions. The newspapers, the gossip of the village, his own picturings, had aroused him to an uncheckable degree. They were in truth fighting finely down there. Almost every day the newspaper printed accounts of a decisive victory.
One night, as he lay in bed, the winds had carried to him the clangoring of the church bell as some enthusiast jerked the rope frantically to tell the twisted news of a great battle. This voice of the people rejoicing in the night had made him shiver in a prolonged ecstasy of excitement. Later, he had gone down to his mother's room and had spoken thus: "Ma, I'm going to enlist."
"Henry, don't you be a fool," his mother had replied. She had then covered her face with the quilt. There was an end to the matter for that night.
Nevertheless, the next morning he had gone to a town that was near his mother's farm and had enlisted in a company that was forming there. When he had returned home his mother was milking the brindle cow. Four others stood waiting. "Ma, I've enlisted," he had said to her diffidently. There was a short silence. "The Lord's will be done, Henry," she had finally replied, and had then continued to milk the brindle cow.
When he had stood in the doorway with his soldier's clothes on his back, and with the light of excitement and expectancy in his eyes almost defeating the glow of regret for the home bonds, he had seen two tears leaving their trails on his mother's scarred cheeks.
Still, she had disappointed him by saying nothing whatever about returning with his shield or on it. He had privately primed himself for a beautiful scene. He had prepared certain sentences which he thought could be used with touching effect. But her words destroyed his plans. She had doggedly peeled potatoes and addressed him as follows: "You watch out, Henry, an' take good care of yerself in this here fighting business — you watch out, an' take good care of yerself. Don't go a-thinkin' you can lick the hull rebel army at the start, because yeh can't. Yer jest one little feller amongst a hull lot of others, and yeh've got to keep quiet an' do what they tell yeh. I know how you are, Henry.
"I've knet yeh eight pair of socks, Henry, and I've put in all yer best shirts, because I want my boy to be jest as warm and comf'able as anybody in the army. Whenever they get holes in 'em, I want yeh to send 'em right-away back to me, so's I kin dern 'em.
"An' alius be careful an' choose yer comp'ny. There's lots of bad men in the army, Henry. The army makes 'em wild, and they like nothing better than the job of leading off a young feller like you, as ain't never been away from home much and has alius had a mother, an' a-learning 'em to drink and swear. Keep clear of them folks, Henry. I don't want yeh to ever do anything, Henry, that yeh would be 'shamed to let me know about. Jest think as if I was a-watchin' yeh. If yeh keep that in yer mind alius, I guess yeh'll come out about right.
"Yeh must alius remember yer father, too, child, an' remember he never drunk a drop of licker in his life, and seldom swore a cross oath.
"1 don't know what else to tell yeh, Henry, excepting that yeh must never do no shirking, child, on my account. If so be a time comes when yeh have to be kilt or do a mean thing, why, Henry, don't think of anything 'cept what's right, because there's many a woman has to bear up 'ginst sech things these times, and the Lord 'll take keer of us all.
"Don't forgit about the socks and the shirts, child; and I've put a cup of blackberry jam with yer bundle, because I know yeh like it above all things. Good-by, Henry. Watch out, and be a good boy."
He had, of course, been impatient under the ordeal of this speech. It had not been quite what he expected, and he had borne it with an air of irritation. He departed feeling vague relief.
Still, when he had looked back from the gate, he had seen his mother kneeling among the potato parings. Her brown face, upraised, was stained with tears, and her spare form was quivering. He bowed his head and went on, feeling suddenly ashamed of his purposes.
From his home he had gone to the seminary to bid adieu to many schoolmates. They had thronged about him with wonder and admiration. He had felt the gulf now between them and had swelled with calm pride. He and some of his fellows who had donned blue were quite overwhelmed with privileges for all of one afternoon, and it had been a very delicious thing. They had strutted.
A certain light-haired girl had made vivacious fun at his martial spirit, but there was «mother and darker girl whom he had gazed at steadfastly, and he thought she grew demure and sad at sight of his blue and brass. As he had walked down the path between the rows of oaks, he had turned his head and detected her at a window watching his departure. As he perceived her, she had immediately begun to stare up through the high tree branches at the sky. He had seen a good deal of flurry and haste in her movement as she changed her attitude. He often thought of it.
On the way to Washington his spirit had soared. The regiment was fed and caressed at station after station until the youth had believed that he must be a hero. There was a lavish expenditure of bread and cold meats, coffee, and pickles and cheese. As he basked in the smiles of the girls and was patted and complimented by the old men, he had felt growing within him the strength to do mighty deeds of arms.
After complicated journeyings with many pauses, there had come months of monotonous life in a camp. He had had the belief that real war was a series of death struggles with small time in between for sleep and meals; but since his regiment had come to the field the army had done little but sit still and try to keep warm.
He was brought then gradually back to his old ideas. Greeklike struggles would be no more. Men were better, or more timid. Secular and religious education had effaced the throat-grappling instinct, or else firm finance held in check the passions.
He had grown to regard himself merely as a part of a vast blue demonstration. His province was to look out, as far as he could, for his personal comfort. For recreation he could twiddle his thumbs and speculate on the thoughts which must agitate the minds of the generals. Also, he was drilled and drilled and reviewed, and drilled and drilled and reviewed.
The only foes he had seen were some pickets along the river bank. They were a sun-tanned, philosophical lot, who sometimes shot reflectively at the blue pickets. When reproached for this afterward, they usually expressed sorrow, and swore by their gods that the guns had exploded without their permission. The youth, on guard duty one night, conversed across the stream with one of them. He was a slightly ragged man, who spat skillfully between his shoes and possessed a great fund of bland and infantile assurance. The youth liked him personally.
"Yank," the other had informed him, "yer a right dum good feller." This sentiment, floating to him upon the still air, had made him temporarily regret war.
Various veterans had told him tales. Some talked of gray, bewhiskered hordes who were advancing with relentless curses and chewing tobacco with unspeakable valor; tremendous bodies of fierce soldiery who were sweeping along like the Huns. Others spoke of tattered and eternally hungry men who fired despondent powders. "They'll charge through hell's fire an' brimstone t' git a holt on a haversack, an' sech stomachs ain't a-lastin' long," he was told. From the stories, the youth imagined the red, live bones sticking out through slits in the faded uniforms.
Still, he could not put a whole faith in veterans' tales, for recruits were their prey. They talked much of smoke, fire, and blood, but he could not tell how much might be lies. They persistently yelled "Fresh fish!" at him, and were in no wise to be trusted.
However, he perceived now that it did not greatly matter what kind of soldiers he was going to fight, so long as they fought, which fact no one disputed. There was a more serious problem. He lay in his bunk pondering upon it. He tried to mathematically prove to himself that he would not run from a battle.
Previously he had never felt obliged to wrestle too seriously with this question. In his life he had taken certain things for granted, never challenging his belief in ultimate success, and bothering little about means and roads. But here he was confronted with a thing of moment. It had suddenly appeared to him that perhaps in a battle he might run. He was forced to admit that as far as war was concerned he knew nothing of himself.
A sufficient time before he would have allowed the problem to kick its heels at the outer portals of his mind, but now he felt compelled to give serious attention to it.
A little panic-fear grew in his mind. As his imagination went forward to a fight, he saw hideous possibilities. He contemplated the lurking menaces of the future, and failed in an effort to see himself standing stoutly in the midst of them. He recalled his visions of broken-bladed glory, but in the shadow of the impending tumult he suspected them to be impossible pictures.
He sprang from the bunk and began to pace nervously to and fro. "Good Lord, what's th' matter with me?" he said aloud.
He felt that in this crisis his laws of life were useless. Whatever he had learned of himself was here of no avail. He was an unknown quantity. He saw that he would again be obliged to experiment as he had in early youth. He must accumulate information of himself, and meanwhile he resolved to remain close upon his guard lest those qualities of which he knew nothing should everlastingly disgrace him. "Good Lord!" he repeated in dismay.
After a time the tall soldier slid dexterously through the hole. The loud private followed. They were wrangling.(Continues…)

I read this book while in cyber school and i have to say it was confusing at first but once i got the hang of the whole storyline it actually is a good book. Although it does have like some good parts, it does get confusing with all the thought details llike what the main character is thinking about..
Another book that I no doubt should have read as a child, but never got to (not being American). Very fast read. I finished the entire thing in about an hour. While it is a classic study of the horrors gripping a young soldier on his first trip to the battlefield and influential in its time, the book didn't really grab me. This is probably due to the use of theme as plot in a fairly short novel so I never really became attached to Henry.
Crane's work, an early entry in the pantheon of American literature, can be read as either an anti-war polemic, or a pro-war piece of propaganda. Certainly the main character, who goes through a personal crisis when faced with battle, swings like a pendulum between the two extremes, and it is unclear by the end which side he settles on. For instance, is it good to fight the good fight because it is good, or because it is necessary?

Reading historical fiction can make readers want to read more. To become interested. If you wanted to learn more about the Civil War A Red Badge Of Courage is one of the better books. A classic text with great action and crucial historical putting you in the shoes of a soldier. A young prospective soldier yet not knowing the impending doom of war. Henry Fleming anxious for the Civil War. Yet he doesn't realize the gruesome effect of The war; so he cowers and goes away. Day after night, countless thoughts of the war, he knew he needed to go back to take action, to... get his red badge of courage. A Red Badge Of Courage does not only capture the epic battles, the action, the effects of the Civil War. It also evaluates the crucial facts of the Civil War to relive the past, The Civil War. An example is after a soldier dies they sing songs to block the sorrow. This small part in the book replicates soldier life and shows what they do in different moments. This book can also make you infer about the past. For an example soldiers were not not well educated; soldiers would talk as if they came from a foreign country. One time Henry said " Well, yeh kin b'lieve me er not, jest as yeh like. I don't care a hang." Most free slaves have better grammar. We can infer that free slaves wanted to get educated because they simply were not allowed so made them more determined to get educated. On the other hand the language can be very irritating and hard to follow because it leads you nowhere. Also Henry would not stop whining, he was that three year old child at the park thats ice cream has fell. In conclusion this book has many positives and negative to keep in mind. Like I said before A Red Badge Of Courage is one of the better books even though you have to power through the irritating language. Now you can see how this classic text can show you a life of a soldier and what it was like to be one; the great battles, the living spaces, and much more. In conclusion if you want a classic text with action and a very realistic tour of a soldiers life trapped in war, if so this is the book for you.
In the book, "Red Badge of Courage" Henry Fleming is in the union army. He runs away during a battle, "Field of War." But after the battle he feels a shame for have leaving in the middle like that. So now he wants to redeem himself by getting injured in battle to get the badge, "Red Badge of Courage." This book is enjoyable but it also helps you learn a little bit about the civil war. For example its shows how sacred most the soldiers were and it also showed qhat the battle field was like, and the camps, such as when people saw people at the camps. It also shows how people turned "crazy" after they were shot. if you're looking for a good historical fiction Red badge of courage would be the one because it is a good book but you may get a little confused during the storyline but overall you shows the life of soldiers and many more.
If you want a book that you and the main character both can learn from, this is it..
Lord in heaven, people, please stick to giving book reviews. There are so many other avenues to speak to each other. Facebook Twitter Blogs by the dozens. Please go there.
Amazing. Just amazing. At first I thought this book was extremely boring, but after a Couple of chapters i was just sucked into the splendid detail and compelling vocabulary this book has that no other can even compare to. I give this a well deserved 5 stars. No other author can make such a genius novel as this one, that manages to make me laugh and cry and ponder how the characters feel all in one hour. This book has truelly touched my heart and makes me wonder why so many people havent read it. ~<3~ Emery.
The sentences are seprated by THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE almost every page. Wish i had a better one.
Dont like it
I want to read a new book, but I would like to know what this book is about.
The author did a masterful job of painting perfectly the chacters, their locations, and their actions. Though some readers with limited vocabulary and diminished skills of visualization found the work tedious, the author left the rest of us spell bound with his pen.

Every lady can find a style that suits her.
Despite the vagaries of the spring weather, one thing is clear – the winter is gone, and the soul and body are thirsty for lightness and faery. How to look up to date with the fashion trends in the upcoming warm season?
1. Patterns with repeating black and white motives – and possibly larger and more brightly highlighted. You can get inspiration from the models of Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Marni, Moschino and Sportmax.
2. Jackets with a length to the waist and elastic belts – if you dress up like that, you will surely come out on top of the global trends. See the proposals of Balmain, Emilio Pucci, Lanvin and Stella McCartney.
3. A larger number white shirts – this temptation have chosen designers like Jil Sander, Victoria Beckham, Preen, Lacoste and Chloe.
4. Feminine handbags – let your delicate femininity shine this spring. Allow and the purse to do the same. These ideas we receive from Dolce & Gabbana, Etro and Prada.
5. Eastern flavor – Japanese silhouettes and oriental prints – bet on them in order to be irresistible and elegant. So have done and Emilio Pucci, Etro, Prada.
6. Jackets with masculine silhouette – pure white or pure black – the choice is yours. You will know them by the long lapels and pronounced shoulders. Jackets with male silhouette are a hit in the collections of well-known fashion brands such as Balmain, Jean Pierre Braganza and Valentino, so you can safely trust them.
7. Narrow striped pants – the strongly emphasized stripes will elongate your figure, if you choose them for narrow trousers which you can combine with a top in the same pattern (as suggested by Michael Kors) or in the same color range (Balmain).
8. Skirts with a slit at the front – to show a little thigh this spring, not only that is not obscene, but even is in order. And so did the models of Lanvin, Michael Kors and Prada.
9. Shoes with low heels – well, ladies, fortunately for those of you who are not admiring the torture called high heels – this season beauty will not require this sacrifice from your feet, because fashionable are the shoes with low currents, such as those from the collection of Manolo Blahnik. Let us at the same time be stylish and feel comfortable.
11. The 60s – fashionable again are the mini skirts, the graphic designs, A-shaped dresses, cutting from the shoulders or waist – all in bright colors. Let it be spring! Let it be summer! Enjoy the wonderful creations of Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors and Moschino.
12. Stripes – in all sizes, in all directions, in all colors and in every part of the outfit – the important thing is to be striped. So have decided and Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino.
13. Hawaiian motives – flowers of hibiscus, paradise birds, hummingbirds, palm leaves – how not a person to feel summery, wearing such an exotic landscape on himself. Whiff of Hawaii bring us Isabel Marant, Kenzo and Proenza Schouler.
14. Safari style – beige and khaki – both during the day and in the evening, as well as for the province and the city. Immerse yourself in the pursuit of the jungle with Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, Kenzo and MaxMara.
15. Kimono – to confirm the attraction to the east, the silhouette of the kimono intertwined in different outfits, will add you an exotic charm. Some examples give us Etro, Gareth Pugh and Haider Ackermann.
16. Metallic highlights – in jackets, dresses, skirts, bags or on the whole outfit – no matter what you stop at, you cannot go wrong. Make sure by having a look at some of the models of Burberry Prorsum, Christian Dior and Emporio Armani.
17. Veils and pleats – long known as the style of "good girls", the femininity of their delicate curves are winning the veils and pleats great popularity this season. In their spring-summer collections, on them have bet from Chanel, Christian Dior, Emilio Pucci, Etro and Gareth Pugh.
18. Dots – smaller, bigger, on jackets, pants and veils – the dots are a big hit for spring-summer 2013. We like the proposals from Chanel and Haider Ackermann.
19. Gold sequins – glitter, shine and glamor again! We already know that its place is on the lips and eyelids. But not only there and also on dresses, tops, pants, skirts and even bags – anywhere. On that trend have bet the designers of Chanel, Chloe, Fendi, Lanvin and Saint Laurent.
20. Fringes – cheerful, lively, carrying a sense of freedom, dance and flight – these are the fringes – your best assistant for lifting your mood and self-esteem. Try it! And for inspiration, check out some of the outfits from Gareth Pugh, Jean Paul Gaultier, Nina Ricci, Ralph Lauren and Versace.

Just inland – behind the dunes and dune plantations – you meet a landscape that is very different from coastal regions. More fertile arable land, meandering streams and tranquil forests. Here you will find the region's metropolis, Hjørring.
In Hjørring you can not help but be struck by the culture. Museums, theater, art and sculptures are visible in the city and helps to create a very specific mood. Whether you prefer cabaret, theater, movies or concerts, so Hjørring offers a wealth of experiences for the whole family – young and old.
Hjørring is among other known for Hjørring Revyen, featuring well-known actors and good humor. And Hjørring Summer Games, which are located in Skt. Knuds Kilde. Close to the hotel is the construction of a new theater house started where Vendsyssel Theatre is going to be housed (expected to open in early 2017).
Hotel Phoenix is within short walking distance to everything.
The hotel is about 50 meters close to the pedestrian zone, which offers over 175 specialty shops, a wide selection of supermarkets, as well as indoor shopping center Metropol, – so there is always the opportunity to make a good deal in Hjørring.

This is the poem William Lishman shared with me, which I used parts of to compose From Canada for Trent Severn. RIP Bill. So many miss you, even the birds. <3 It was an honour to write this song with you. – Dayna
True Freedom
I am always thrilled to take to the air
to follow a whimsical line
across the face of the earth
to carve wondrous curves
that skim rolling pastures
mimicking the forces
that formed a meandering valley.
It is bird freedom ever sought
since man could first imagine.
No computer game or carnie ride
can compare to the exhilaration
of gliding across misty hollows in the early dawn
or circumnavigating a woodlot
at treetop level
This is as close to bird flight
as mankind gets.
Whether by accident or design
birds have been here waiting
long before the dawn of man,
to taunt us, to make us envious,
to cajole us into the sky
to join them in their gravity defying medium.
This is our instinct
this is the freedom
we have ever sought.
So engrained in the human psyche
that the image of humans flying
wing to wing with birds
gives pause to all but the most jaded,
The emotion is so powerful
many are brought to tears
once in that heightened state,
it is the time of epiphanies,
when cosmic truths flow
the soul is renewed.
This is our true value to mankind
those of us who fly with birds.
-Bill Lishman

Here is the continued article of "Bruges – Belgium 's pride (Part 2)".
>>The lively and pleasant Quy Nhon city of Vietnam.
Town Hall
On the southeast side of the Burg is Bruges' Town Hall (Stadhuis), one of the oldest in Belgium, having been constructed between 1376 and 1420. The facade of the delicate Gothic building displays the strong vertical emphasis characteristic of the style, with soaring pilasters, three of which end in octagonal turrets, separated by tall Gothic arched windows. Statues of the counts of Flanders from Baldwin Iron Arm onwards fill the 49 niches. Inside, don't miss the great Gothic Hall on the first floor with its beautiful timber vaulting, which dates from 1402, and its murals recording events in the town's history by A and J de Vriendt (1895-1900).
Liberty of Bruges
On the east side of the Burg, the Bruges Tourist Office occupies part of what was, up until 1984, the Law Courts, built between 1722 and 1727 on the site of the former Liberty of Bruges (Paleis van het Brugse Vrije) from where independent magistrates exercised jurisdiction over the region. Some fragments of the older building have survived, including the pretty 16th-century facade overlooking the canal at the rear. One or two of the more historic rooms inside are now the Brugse Vrije Museum and can be admired by visitors. Of particular interest is the Schepenzaal (lay magistrates' court) where you can see the famous chimneypiece designed by the painter Lanceloot Blondeel in 1529 and executed in black marble and oak by Guyot de Beaugrant. This magnificent piece of Renaissance craftsmanship has an alabaster frieze above depicting the story of Susanna and the Elders with carved oak figures of the Emperor Charles V and his parents, Ferdinand and Isabella of Castille, Mary of Burgundy, and Maximilian.
Groeninge Museum
Head to the Dijver Canal, to visit the Groeninge Museum (Stedelijk Museum voor Schone Kunst), which holds Bruges' best collection of art. In addition to its excellent endowment of Old Flemish paintings, the museum also incorporates a gallery of modern art and a superb collection of views of old Bruges. However, the first five rooms of the museum are the ones most likely to claim your attention as they contain quite exceptional paintings by Old Flemish masters. In Room 1 hang two major works by Jan van Eyck: Madonna and the donor, Canon van der Paele (1436) and the portrait of Margaret van Eyck, the artist's wife, painted when she was 33 years of age (1439). In Room 3 are panels illustrating the legend of St. Ursula and a portrait of Luis Gruuthuse, both famous works by unknown Bruges masters, and the Last Judgment by Hieronymus Bosch is among the paintings in Room 5.
Hope you enjoyed the article and maybe enjoy your time in Bruges, Belgium.

Early in Lennidhren's career and character development, I determined that gold must be her color. From the orangeish-gold Frayed Elven Robes that she started out with as a level 1 lore-master to the Elegant Dress dyed gold that she now wears, it suits her well and goes nicely with her almost-golden shade of hair. But her attachment to the color is not driven by vanity, as a matter of fact: She is, after all, an Elf of Lorien – the Golden Wood. So she surrounds herself with the color that reminds her most of home.
And that is why, having just this morning passed her driving riding test at Hengstacer's Farm and been granted the right to buy a horse of her own, she CANNOT WAIT to acquire the latest model, the Pale Golden Summer Steed.
Someone was riding this horse of that breed at the Taste of Hobbiton race today, and Lennidhren was quite impressed. So now she's been fishing all over Middle-earth to save up tokens for her horse, and all that's left to do is to win the tricky little race and pick up a token for the horse. So far I've tried once at each race course and managed to fall in the mud every time. Argh. I did manage to complete the race on Linett in the Spring festival, so I know I can do it…just hope it doesn't take too many more tries!
Because Linett is going to need that horse too. And it may not stop there. Vanita and Alduine know how to ride a horse too…
But once that goal is out of the way, there are so many other lovely things to collect from this festival! Linett has been eying the hammock and wicker chair, and most of all, the new cosmetics! The dress and tunic are both just gorgeous. Wonder how they would look dyed gold for Lennidhren?

sample the album:
"Yttrium is the 3rd album by improvised electronic jazz trio Continuum and their first wholly recorded in the studio. While their first two albums focussed on the ambient side of their music, with the percussion playing an atmospheric supporting role, on Yttrium they wanted the whole jazz drum kit to be an equal third of the sound.
John Runcie is a superbly impressionistic jazz drummer in the mould of ECM label regular Jon Christensen. He has worked with Lee Konitz, John Surman and Barbara Thompson to name a few. His restless creativity abounds, and his subtlety is evident, interacting one minute, and driving the band the next.
Simon Styring's guitar style comes out of Robert Fripp, blending his sustainiac-loaded guitar with guitar synthesizer and effects in intriguing ways. From sustained Frippatronics to splintered Metheny-like free jazz guitar.
Chris Conway paints pictures with his theremin, and with the help of mountains of delays and effects he moves from wild screams to subtle chordal soundscapes which blend with his low Irish whsilte and vocal effects to produce a rich deep layered sound. He has worked with a strangely diverse set of musicians including Talvin Singh, Peter Tork (Monkees), improviser Derek Bailey, Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), composer Gavin Bryars, violin maestro Dr L Subramanium, ECM saxman Martin Speake, and Brazilain jazz diva Ithamara Koorax.
Together they create so many sound combinations as they veer from space sounds to ambient electronica, free jazz to minimal patterns. Out on the edge - not always tonal but with atonality on the brink of breaking out. And vice versa..."-Zorpin

Walden's ...North Carolina & Ohio
A 3rd great-grandmother Elizabeth "Betsy" Walden (1825-1874) marr. Peter Allen (1820-1877) on 4 Aug 1842 in Chillicothe, Ross County, OH.
Known children of Peter & "Betsy" are James Allen (abt 1850-????), Alexander Allen (abt 1855-????) and my 2nd great-grandmother Lovina "Vina" Allen (1857-1928). All were born in or around Circleville, in Pickaway County, OH.
I think (?) Betsy's parents were a John Walden & Mary Elizabeth Doty who were married 8 May 1823, also in Chillicothe, Ross County, OH.
The Allen's, Doty's & Walden's all are reported to have North Carolina origins.
I am seeking additional documentation for these family lines, if any of this "rings a bell" with anyone I have more information to share.

NOLA History
New Orleans' French heritage is so ubiquitous it is occasionally taken for granted. Everyone is aware of it, but many people don't stop to visit the sites that help give New Orleans its unique French flavor. As Bastille Day draws close, here are some sights and tastes of France that you can experience here in the Crescent City.
Bastille Day Fete
City Park
New Orleanians have a habit of honoring their French heritage by celebrating Bastille Day and French independence with a variety of events. The venerable French Quarter restaurant Arnaud's has a Bastille Day Dinner on July 14th at 7 pm featuring wine, French food, and communal dining. A specialty cocktail, the Parisian Spritz, will be offered by the restaurant's French 75 bar.
The official Bastille Day Fete has been voted the third best Bastille Day celebration in the world by Reuters. The party kicks off from 4 pm to 10 pm on July 15 and features local musicians, French and English tours of the New Orleans Museum of Art, a French cooking demonstration, mini French language lessons, and fun activities for children.
"Bastille Day Fete is bigger than ever this year," said Consul General of France Gregor Trumel. "The French National Day is celebrated all over the world, and it means something special in Louisiana. We are very proud to organize this great event at NOMA, as a special French gift to the people of New Orleans!"
The event strives to create the atmosphere and ambience of a French town. Inside NOMA, the Lost Bayou Ramblers will play a 3-hour set. It's $5 admission to NOMA (free for NOMA members), but the outdoor events are free.
As part of the fete, on Friday July 15 from 5-5:30 pm, dog owners and enthusiasts can watch or participate in the Bastille Day Dog Contest, a pageantry of pups dressed in their best French attire. The event will be held in front of the New Orleans Museum of Art, and a portion of proceeds will benefit the Louisiana SPCA.
While Bastille Day is the official holiday for celebrating Francophone heritage around the world, in a sense, New Orleans celebrates its French roots on a daily basis via its architecture and culture. Here are some examples.
The Old Ursuline Convent
1112 Chartres St
The oldest building in the Mississippi Valley, the Old Ursuline Convent represents one of the few authentic, intact examples of architecture from the city's French colonial period . It was designed in 1745, completed eight years later. And has served as a convent, a school, and a meeting place for the Louisiana Legislature.
The National Parks Service describes it as "the finest surviving example of French Colonial public architecture in the country." The convent is open for tours Monday through Friday from 10am-4pm and Saturday from 9am-3pm.
Bayou St. John
Without Bayou St. John, the city of New Orleans might not exist. It was a crucial trading route linking the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain. New Orleans founder Jean Baptiste Bienville LeMoyne immediately realized the waterway's strategic significance in transport and battle.
You may not want to transport goods or wage wars, but you can travel the waterway the city's French founders used via kayak-Iti-Yat, which offers two hour kayak tours of Bayou St. John.
Tours are $40 per person and are available by reservation only. Minimum of 2 kayakers per tour.
713 St. Louis St
Established in 1840, Antoine's is the oldest family-run restaurant in the United States. It didn't move to its current location until 1868, but Antoine's has been a hit with locals and tourists seeking French-Creole cuisine ever since. Escargots a la Bordelaise, Oysters Rockefeller, and Pomme de Terre Souffles are some of the most popular dishes at this venerable eatery.
Antoine's is open for lunch Monday-Saturday from 11:30am-2pm and dinner from 5:30-9pm. The Jazz Brunch is Sunday from 11am-2pm. Make reservations at 504-581-4422.
Degas House
2306 Esplanade Ave
Edgar Degas, one of the most iconic artists of the French Impressionist movement, spent a year in New Orleans from 1872 to 1873 – twelve months that had a profound impact on his painting. You can see where he stayed at the restored Degas House, home of the artists' maternal relatives. Degas created 18 paintings and 4 drawings here, the only known home or studio of Degas open to the public in the world.
The guided Edgar Degas House Creole Impressionist Tour ($29) runs seven days a week, at 10:30am and 1:45 pm. Reservations are required – call 504-821-5009. A screening of the documentary Degas in New Orleans: a Creole Sojourn is included in the tour of the home and surrounding neighborhood.
Self-guided tours are $15 per person and available Monday through Saturday from 10am-4:30pm. If you'd like to spend the night, the Degas House also functions as a bed and breakfast.
The French Library
3811 Magazine St
If you'd like a taste of French-language books, visit The French Library, which opened this year on Magazine St. There's a special slant towards children's books, and the establishment looks to be a useful partner to the city's immersion/bilingual schools like Ecole Bilingue and Lycee Francais.
French Treats
If you want French dessert foods, La Riviere Confiserie (3719 Magazine St) imports gifts and sweet from France. Joanna Sese of Lycée Francaise says it's the "only place I can think of where you can purchase pate de fruit."
Dat Iceroll (3336 Magazine St) offers French ice cream. For Gallic pastries, from petit fours to croissants, visit La Boulangerie (4600 Magazine St) or Le Croissant d'Or (617 Ursulines Ave). And for an excellent baguette, pain perdu or croque monsieur, stop by Mister Gregory's in the Quarter (896 N Rampart).
Monde Creole Walking Tour
For a walking tour of some of the city's historic French sites (French Quarter courtyards and homes, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, etc), try Monde Creole Walking Tours). Not only will you get a thorough grounding in the city's French history, tours are also offered in both English and French. Tours leave daily at 10:30am and cost $25 for adults.
Pitot House
1440 Moss St
The only Creole colonial country house open to the public in New Orleans, Pitot House was painstakingly restored in the 1960s. There are lovely gardens, views of Bayou St. John, and Louisiana antiques dating back to the early 1800s. Tours are open Wednesday-Saturday from 10am-3pm. $10 admission.

Tucked in the heart of the South Carolina Sea Islands between glimmering marshes and deep water, nestled beneath the silvery moss draped limbs of massive live oaks, you will find the Penn Center - the site of one of the country's first schools for freed slaves and one of the most significant African American historical and cultural institutions in existence today.
Located on St. Helena Island, one of the most beautiful and historically distinct of the South Carolina Sea Islands, Penn Center sits at the heart of Gullah culture, on the 50 acres of the historical campus of Penn School. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974, it is a part of the Penn School Historic District which is comprised of nineteen buildings related to and used by Penn School including Brick Church, Darrah Hall (one of the oldest buildings on St. Helena Island) and Gantt Cottage where Martin Luther King Jr. lodged. Old burial grounds, a nature trail, Chowan Creek, acres of pines and native flora and fauna also grace the property.
Penn Center, Incorporated is a non-profit organization designed to promote and preserve Sea Island history and Culture. Begun in 1862 as Penn School, an experimental program to educate Sea Island slaves freed at the beginning of the Civil War, it is the oldest and most persistent survivor of the Port Royal Experiment. The first principals were Northern missionaries Laura Towne and Ellen Murray. Both spent the next forty years of their lives living among and educating former Sea Island slaves – the Gullah people of the South Carolina Low Country. For a while, Charlotte Forten, the first African American teacher at Penn School, joined in this endeavor.
By 1900, the name changed to Penn Normal, Industrial and Agricultural School when new principals Rossa Cooley and Grace House took over leadership. Providing teacher training, training in wheel-wrighting, carpentry, cobbling, blacksmithing, and the agricultural sciences, Penn educated students from neighboring Sea Island communities throughout South Carolina. When the school closed in 1948, it became Penn Community Services Center, an agency focusing on self-sufficiency and the advancement and development of the Sea Island community and its inhabitants.
During the 1960s, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference chose Penn as a training site for retreat and strategic planning. By the early 80s, it became Penn Center, an agency linked to the past and connected to the future. Today, it fosters a vision of shared culture, preserved history and attainable world harmony. Its mission is to preserve the unique history, culture and environment of the Sea Islands through serving as a local, national and international resource center, and by acting as a catalyst for the development of programs for self-sufficiency.
The York W. Bailey Museum is named for a Penn School graduate and the first African American Medical doctor to serve St. Helena and neighboring Islands. The museum is housed in the Historic Cope Industrial Building. It is comprised of four Galleries and a Book and Gift Store. Open to the public, over 10,000 visitors come to the museum each year to take part in its Cultural Lessons and Demonstrations Educational Program, view its exhibits, for public programming, or to simply experience the unique blend of history, education and culture. The permanent exhibit, Education for Freedom: the Penn School Experiment 1862 showcases some of the oldest professional photographs of African American people. Also on display are the original 1863 school bell, and artifacts related to Sea Island and African American history and culture.
The Conference Center is comprised of four newly restored residential facilities, and a waterfront Retreat House. It accommodates 85 residential guests, has two meeting halls, Frissell Community House and Darrah Hall, and ten meeting rooms. Our state of the art Emory S. Campbell Dining Hall features traditional Gullah meals including local favorites such as Shrimp and Grits and Frogmore Stew.
The History and Culture Department maintains Penn Center's historic collection and arranges cultural services and demonstrations for groups visiting Penn's campus. Programs and demonstrations designed for students include:
We are also partnered with the Lowcountry Estuarium in Port Royal to provide both an on campus presentation with live animals from local waters and on and off campus field adventures.

The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance builds broad, deep, and innovative pathways for students to access high-impact careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
Each year in Oklahoma, 1,000 new STEM jobs remain unfilled because our workforce currently lacks enough qualified candidates to fill positions in these career fields. The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance (TRSA) provides the foundation our future workforce needs by fostering students' interest and improving their abilities in STEM subjects. TRSA helps students in northeast Oklahoma learn and enjoy STEM classes while preparing them to be world class problem-solvers in our modern economy. In 2017, TRSA is on track to provide more than 130,000 hours of programming and 16,000 hours of mentorship for students, as well as state-of-the-art professional development programs for teachers.

Oklahoma A+ Schools Unlocks the Learning in Every Child
Oklahoma A+ Schools, by being in the business of helping schools to think, plan, and behave more creatively, truly changes the lives of Oklahoma children.
Kylie's story is one example of the impact OKA+ is making. Kylie was a new student who felt behind since 2nd grade. Coming from a broken home, she was moving into a new school and entering an OKA+ classroom below grade level in her reading and math ability. After 5 months of being in her new creative surroundings, Kylie was given a research project on the American Revolution. Her teacher was concerned about her ability to handle the reading levels that would be required to be successful. However, the teacher knew she had to trust the OKA+ process, which allows for creativity and students demonstrating understanding in multiple ways. Kylie's teacher said, "I was right to do so! Kylie owned the project and never looked back. She embraced the freedom to use her artistic ability, created a beautiful presentation board, and helped other students succeed as well. Through the process, she also learned to love the poetry of Phillis Wheatley."
Thanks to the OKA+ model, Kylie improved in math and moved from a 3rd grade reading level to middle 4th grade reading level in five months. Once a failing student, Kylie is now an above average student who found self-confidence, passion, and a desire to do hard things. Her disposition has transformed!
OKA+ Schools provides an academics + arts model of education that is founded on eight essentials. This is what helps students, like Kylie, succeed. Research has shown that one of the most important factors for student success is having a highly trained teacher facilitating their learning. OKA+ is dedicated to providing quality professional development to schools, so that every student has the opportunity of success.
With a donation, OKA+ Schools can continue to train Oklahoma's teachers and provide access to educational resources with zero cost passed on to schools or districts. The power to adapt, think creatively and change quickly will determine the success of Oklahoma's future. OKA+ Schools is helping schools to cultivate and impact Oklahoma's greatest resource, our children. OKA+ Schools wants to thank you for imagining a better education and a better life for every child in Oklahoma.
For 15 years, OKA+ has served 300,000 students and 20,000 educators in rural, urban, and suburban Oklahoma. Rich or under-resourced; OKA+ Schools advance learning and student success in core subjects in public, private and charter schools.

Flames of Version 4 Leave a comment
Version 4 is here. I was able to attend the Beasts of War Boot camp for FOW Version 4 and it was an incredible experience. I would go back for any other game I am interested, just to hang out and have a good time. I met a lot of great people that I would love to game with anytime.

WWPD Bastogne Campaign: Cafe Schinker Leave a comment
Borrowed from the scenario for Cafe Schinker:
Situation: Situation: The 39th Fusilier Regiment is the southern prong of the 26th Volksgrenadier Division's push towards Bastogne. Fusiliers have crossed the Our River in the early morning hours of December 16th, 1944. Their immediate objective is the town of Café Schinker. The town is defended by "L" Company of the 110th Infantry Regiment of the 28th Infantry Division. The US must try to hold on tow the town, while the German Grenadiers must quickly break this position to clear the way for the Panzers pf the Panzer Lehr Division when they start crossing assault bridges being erected across the Our River.
Market Garden Battle Day 1 comment
This year the gaming club selected two battlefield scenarios to run for Market Garden.
Team Yankee Aviation 1 comment
One of the most iconic weapons of the Cold War are the aircraft. The A10 is my personal favorite. The only way I would have joined the Air Force is if they would have guaranteed me to be an A10 Pilot. They couldnt, so I joined the Navy and became a Civil Engineer Corps Officer (Seabee)
The Battlefront A10 model is top notch. It is easy to put together with minimal clean up on the ordinance. I cant wait to play this on the battlefield.
On the Soviet side is the small and sleak SU 25 Frogfoot. Such a small craft with a powerful punch. Again great model, it took quite a bit of time to clean up the ordinance on this kit. I picked the 357th squadron as the model for the camouflage pattern.
US Rotary aviation is the Battlefront plastic model kit of the AH-1 Cobra. This is a very well done kit and I like it better than the original BF resin Cobras. I went with the plain Jane US Army appearance. Even today the Blackhawks dont really have many markings.
Saving the best for last. The Mi24 Hind. I remember this beast from the movie Red Dawn in the 1980s. I was so enamored by it that I made a lego version as a kid. Overall this model looks great, but sucks to put together. I had issues with the rotor blades and the cockpit. Hopefully, version 2 of this model improves upon assembly!
US Forces for the Pacific (Gung Ho Edition) 1 comment
The question here is… how much do I expand my Pacific Theater Forces?
The Answer is "of course I need one more USMC company and support"

Hi I am Katy from Michigan (the UP!) I love the Red Green Show because of the originality, amazing cast, the many uses for duct tape, the great sense of humor, and because it also reminds me of da UP. I remember watching the Red Green Show on channel 13 on antenna tv when I was a kid in the 90s and early 2000s, and watching the movie, the fondest memory of the film being the giant duct tape goose!! I know a lot of us Yoopers love the Red Green Show. Thank you so much for providing the world with such an amazing, funny, and original show.

As the world of these days has digitalized, we all are using the internet connection all the time. Imagine yourself, when you want to learn something new, the procedure followed in earlier days is asking to the well-known people. Nevertheless, the time has changed a lot with these days and especially with the internet connection. Once we have to learn, we simply open the browser and starts searching for it. This is quite common and we do not know about the fact called how do we get the uninterrupted and speed internet connection.
Do you have an idea of getting the slow internet connection? Absolutely not! The internet usage has increased day by day, and with this, most of the people do not find the speed internet connection. Even though we can get the speed faster than the earlier days, we can still find the interruption of internet. The main reason is the number of users has increased a lot. In order to work with the issues and make it accessible for the users, you can easily find the place called broadband connections to work with this.
As the name indicated, this helps in broadening the connectivity, this means, you can get uninterrupted internet connectivity even though the users have increased. Once you are searching for the place to get the speed internet connection, you will fed up with the search, but you can feel cherish once you get into the topic. As how the internet offers all information, you can still learn about broadband connection here. Most of the service organizations have started their services on this basis and the necessity for looking at this service has increased. Make use of the internet now, and you can even get to know many things about the certain service.

College Values and Philosophy
Geelong Lutheran College supports and promotes the principles and practices of Australian democracy, including a commitment to: elected government; the rule of law; equal rights for all before the law; freedom of religion; freedom of speech and association; together with the values of openness and tolerance.
As a Lutheran School, Geelong Lutheran College endeavours to achieve its educational philosophy through the following aims:
- We will celebrate God's love and our Lutheran heritage;
- We believe each individual has God-given gifts and talents; students will be encouraged and supported in developing those gifts;
- We will endeavour to provide a broad and appropriate range of subjects and promote innovation and excellence in teaching, learning and pastoral care;
- We wish to operate in partnership with families and the community and prepare students for valuable contributions to their local and wider communities;
- We will provide a student-centred environment in which students feel safe and are encouraged to serve others in their community with confidence;
- We will adopt a holistic approach to students, valuing equity, diversity, individuality and multiculturalism;
- We will recognise our role as environmental stewards and accept responsibility for promoting sustainable practices.
Geelong Lutheran College shares its vision with all Australian Lutheran schools. It is a vision based on God's own self-revelation in the Bible, the inspired Word of God and the trustworthy source of all Christian teaching. The College endeavours to set up and maintain a framework of Christian attitudes and relationships which will, by the power of the Holy Spirit, permeate and integrate its entire life and work and thereby help it to grow as a caring community.
The educational philosophy of the College is therefore based on the recognition that God is the giver of all truth and that the skills and attitudes of the students are being developed and used for the glory of God through service to one another. This encourages the development of a Christian world view that equips students to live an authentic Christian life in the context of Australian society.
This Word of God leads us to embrace a holistic philosophy of education, summarised in the following six principles:
- LEARNING CENTRED: we are committed to creating an environment where students have a passion to explore, discover and analyse their world as part of an exciting life journey;
- SPIRIT SENSITIVE: we are committed to discerning the personal spirituality of students, listening to their inner search for meaning, and giving space for the work of the Holy Spirit;
- PLANET CONSCIOUS: we are committed to living on Earth as our fragile home, aware of a new global consciousness and inter-connectedness;
- WITH A CONSCIENCE: we are committed to being active in the school community and alive to the social needs and injustices of our society;
- WITH A HEART: we are committed to caring for the inner needs of students in their struggles with social, psychological and emotional challenges;
- AND A DUAL HERITAGE: we are committed to celebrating our local Australian roots, our indigenous people and our inclusive international Lutheran connections with passion and pride.
