Plan to double size of Kiryas Joel under scrutiny over constitutionality of political districtPosted: Updated:
A controversial plan to double the size of the Hassidic community of Kiryas Joel is under legal scrutiny as questions are raised about whether the deal is constitutional.
Daniel Richmond, attorney for anti-annexation group United Monroe, says political districts that are defined by a particular religious group cannot be created under the U.S. Constitution. He says this is exactly what will happen if Kiryas Joel is allowed to double in size.
The growing population of more than 20,000 people in the Kiryas Joel community desperately needs more room. The concern raised by Richmond and United Monroe is that the community is exclusive to the Satmar Hassidic religious group, who historically vote in a block.
Richmond submitted a letter last week to the Town of Monroe, saying if the board voted "yes" to give Kiryas Joel 507 acres of land, it would be violating the First Amendment Establishment Clause of Separation of Church and State.
Monroe officials did not want to comment on the letter or about the constitutionality of the proposal, but town board member Dan Burke said, "For months United Monroe has been saying it is not about religion. Now it is about religion."
Kiryas Joel officials did not return News 12's calls for comment. The land deal is currently on hold during a state review.

Meet your ADA shower specifications (including FHA-HUD, UFAS 4.21 & ANSI A117.1) with low-cost, high-quality Freedom Showers. Read more...
If you are researching remodeling or new construction projects' especially for bathrooms' you will likely come across the terms "ADA compliant" and "Accessible." It is important to understand the difference before deciding what you need for your project. ADA stands for The Americans with Disabilities Act which is a civil rights legislation enacted in 1990 to prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities. The act requires that any public or commercial building in the U.S.' complies with ADA requirements. ADA usually does not apply to private residences.
Accessible Showers share some of the features that ADA compliant showers have, but they are designed for residential use. There are rarely code compliance requirements for residential use, so you can choose from many different sizes and styles.
Finding the perfect ADA Compliant Roll-In Shower is easy with Freedom Showers. We have multi-piece units for remodeling projects and offer one-piece shower stalls for new construction. ADA Compliant Showers can be delivered to the job site fully accessorized to meet ADAAG guidelines (folding shower bench with legs or without legs, grab bars, shower accessories, etc.)
For an ADA compliant shower, the shower stall must be barrier free with a beveled curb no higher than ½". Otherwise, the curb must be flush with the bathroom floor. Freedom handicapped accessible shower floors are textured for additional safety. Freedom Showers carries a large selection of code compliant ADA Handicapped Showers, ADA Roll-in Showers, and ADA Transfer Showers.
If you are a commercial or public building operator planning for current or future accessibility needs, call our expert customer service team.

All of us hate something, or other, at one time
or another: the day, the dog, the chair
in the middle of the room. Some of us hate them,
but for different reasons: they love the wrong god,
or love the wrong person, or love the wrong color
of skin! But today I fear I hate the species
that forgot love. Such lack of love is suicide,
a migrant drowning in a sea of manic turbulence;
a refugee lost in a desert of moral counterfeits,
every border a barrier, every country my hopeless state.
God ". . . loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye therefore
the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt."
Deuteronomy 10:19

Why would you want a Galaxy s7?
The Samsung Galaxy S 7, though improved from the last design of the S6, has quite a high price that may be out of reach for fans of the smartphone. The flagship of Samsung smartphones has heard customer's feedback from all the flaws of the last model, and corrected their mistake on this new version. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is simply perfection in every way.
So is the Samsung Galaxy 7 a giant step up from the S6? For some reviewers, it seems the amount of evolution is not as much as the S6 was. In fact, it is considered improving upon the solid foundations of the Galaxy S6 and making it better without winning any innovative awards in the smart phone wars.
Given the lack of varied features between the current and previous Samsung Galaxy's, some would say that should this one be called the galaxy S6S instead? Instead of a new generation flagship phone altogether?
The improved waterproof design seems like the Galaxy S7's biggest improvement, along with a much better screen and power capabilities. The camera is also much better but some would say it still does n0ot justify the high price. The internal space is sorely lacking with only 32 GB of space and the screen is a fingerprint magnet.
Still, for those hard fans of the series, it's hard not to buy into the hype of the new Samsung Galaxy S7, the design that makes a the S6 such a powerhouse smart phone is integrated and improved in the new S7. Plus a few winning aspects of the S5 that were missing from the Galaxy S6 is present in the new phone as well.
If you're looking to purchase a Samsung galaxy S7, why not try to win one for free with the following link which is easy to do and won't take up much of your time, since it can cost up to USD670, it would be worth your while to try to get one for free.
One Response to "How To Claim A Free Samsung Galaxy S7"
I would like to experience perfection at its very best with Galaxy S7

FMP(Fixed Maturity Plan) is similar to FD(Fixed Deposit) schemes offered by banks and other companies but unlike FD returns on FMP are not assured.
Though returns of FMP are not assured but actual return does not vary significantly.
FMPs are debt instruments and the corpus is invested in fixed income securities like Commercial Papers(CPs), Certificates of Deposits(CDs), money market instruments and corporate bonds.
Depending on the tenure of FMP, the Fund manager invests in one or combination of aforesaid instruments of similar maturity.
The yield on resultant yields of invested instruments, subtracted by the expenses incurred, gives the indicative returns.
Expense incurred, better called as the expense ratio varies from .25 to 1%.
FMPs are close ended debt funds and maturity horizon varies from 1 month to 5 years. Minimum investment in FMP starts from as low as 5000 rupees.
Nowadays no entry load is applicable and as FMPs can't be redeemed before maturity there is no question of the exit load.
As these schemes are listed on exchanges, investor can sell FMP on the exchange before maturity date, but presently there is very little liquidity.
Tax Implication:
Unlike FD, there is no deduction of TDS on FMP investment.
FMPs are more tax efficient than FDs.
Interest received on FDs is categorized as 'income from other sources'.
And added to the income of the investor and taxed according to the slab investor falls in.
If FMP with growth option and maturity period more than 1 year , investor gets the indexation benefit and 20% capital gain tax is payable (10% without indexation).
In case of FMP (growth option) and maturity period less than a year, short term capital gain is added to the investor's income and taxed according to the tax slab in which investor falls in.
In both above cases, investing in FMP is beneficial for the investor who falls in the 30% IT tax bracket.
In case of FMP with dividend option, dividend is tax free in the hands of the investor, but fund house needs to pay the DDT (Dividend distribution Tax).
In higher interest regime FMP gives better post tax returns than FD's
Why FMPs are riskier?
As FMPs invests in unsecure money market instruments such as commercial paper, more risk is associated with it.
Who should go for it?
FMP is suitable for investors with little more risk appetite, expecting better post-tax returns than FDs.
FMP is more suitable for the investor falling in the top tax bracket.
Investors should go for high rated FMPs only.

Zionists hijacked the jewish religion in order to establish a military base in the middle east from which to project their wealth and power.
For all practical purposes, the United States and Britain are Zionist-occupied nations. Because the American and British people are generally ignorant of what Zionism is, the meaning of this statement is not widely understood or appreciated.
The lack of understanding by the public, however, doesn't change the fact that these once great nations have become Zionist-controlled states. The evidence is clearly seen in the self-destructive foreign policies these nations have pursued for the past 40 years or so.
The Anglo-American "leadership" positions in the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and their support of the costly Zionist fraud known as the "War on Terror" is further proof that Zionists control these nations – as if any were needed.
How did these powerful and independent nations become Zionist controlled? Unlike Palestine, where Eastern European Zionist immigrants used brutal terrorism to ethnically "cleanse" and conquer the land, in Britain and the United States the Zionists gained power gradually through "dumbing down" and effectively disenfranchising the native populations.
In Britain and the United States, the Zionists saved the use of terrorism for later, after they already controlled the media and the levers of power and government.
Americans today still believe they are free because the media tells them so and because they don't see the restraints and are able to move around and buy things. Americans are, indeed, free to work and shop, but they have virtually no real political power whatsoever. A good example is that while an overwhelming majority of the U.S. population is against the war in Iraq, the war and the huge spending bills to support it go on unchallenged by their representatives in Congress. Why don't the Congressmen vote to stop the disastrous war that has consumed hundreds of billions of dollars and taken more than 3,000 American lives?
Most Americans in the "land of the free and the home of the brave" are completely unaware that they have lost the most cherished democratic franchise, i.e. the citizen's fundamental right to vote and count their votes. They think their vote counts and don't have a clue that they lost their democratic franchise years ago. They are unaware of this situation simply because the media has not told them.
"If the media doesn't talk about, it must not be a problem" is the American way of thinking.
For the Zionist-controlled media, the absence of any citizen oversight of the vote-counting process and complete lack of transparency in American elections are simply non-issues, just like many other very important subjects of vital importance to the survival of the republic.
As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." This aptly describes the difficult condition Americans face at the beginning of the 21st Century.
Zionists, a marginal minority of Polish and Russian Jewish immigrants, were able to gain control of these great English-speaking nations by obtaining control of two fundamental institutions: the media and academia. This is not to say that they don't control other key institutions, but these two are of essential importance because they largely define the intellectual life of a nation.
Having worked in the media and studied Middle East history at an American university, I know what I am talking about here. History of the Middle East and Europe, and virtually every other subject taught at American universities, is viewed only through the Zionist prism.
For example, when I studied the Middle East at the University of California at Santa Cruz, the head of the department was a professor named Edmund Burke who had studied under the famous British Jew, Bernard Lewis, at Princeton. Burke was always recommending the books of Bernard Lewis, which I avoided like the plague.
American historian Joel Beinin called Lewis "perhaps the most articulate and learned Zionist advocate in the North American Middle East academic community."
"Terry" Burke spent 1990 "on sabbatical" with Lewis at Princeton. He returned to Santa Cruz in the late summer, just before the U.S. invasion of Iraq in January 1991. I remember Burke giving a speech in August or September at the federal building in Santa Cruz as the conflict was heating up. The very first words out of his mouth were "Balkanization," something that amazes me to this day. He was unwilling to explain his choice of words when I called him about a year ago.
Although my main interest was Israel and Palestine, Burke recommended that I read a book about Yugoslavia. Balkanization, the breaking up of nations into ethnic statelets, is the Zionist plan for the entire Middle East, articulated by Oded Yinon of the Israeli foreign ministry in the early 1980s.
During the many lectures and courses I studied on the Middle East, never did I hear a critical word about Zionism or its brutal history in Eastern Europe and Palestine. This is primarily because the professors of Middle Eastern studies and European history are usually Jewish and strongly inclined to support Zionism.
If a professor were to openly criticize Zionism as the racist and violent ideology that it is, he would probably find himself unemployed in very short order.
I understood this and endeavored to present the anti-Zionist perspective at the university. I brought speakers like Ralph Schoenman, the author of The Hidden History of Zionism (1988), to the campus and led a tour of photojournalists to the West Bank and Gaza Strip shortly after the invasion of Iraq. Despite a great deal of effort and years of experience in the region, Burke did not give me "honors" with my degree, most likely because of my anti-Zionist views.
The media in the United States is controlled in the same way as the universities. The editors and journalists are prevented from investigating and discussing the real history of Zionism because the news outlets are usually owned by people who are themselves dedicated Zionists. The takeover of CNN by Gerald M. Levin of AOL Time Warner marked the fall of the last major non-Zionist media network.
Today, all major news outlets in the United States and Britain are strongly Zionist. There were a few good newspapers, such as the Christian Science Monitor, that provided some balance to the pro-Zionist "mainstream" networks, but even they have now fallen.
The result is that the populations of the United States, Britain, and Australia are largely ignorant of Zionism and what it has done in the past in other countries -- and what it is doing now -- in theirs.
Selecting issues and non-issues for coverage is the primary method employed by the Zionist-controlled news networks. Issues get a lot of coverage while non-issues get none.
Here are a few examples of issues and non-issues in the Zionist-controlled media:
• Iran's legal and monitored efforts to develop nuclear energy are an issue; Israel's illegal and secret nuclear arsenal is not.
• Discussion of the alleged role of Muslims in terrorist acts is an issue; solid evidence of Israeli involvement in 9-11 and the London bombings is not.
• The two-year long fake presidential campaign with a host of Zionist-controlled candidates is an issue; how our electronic "votes" are counted by mysterious "private" foreign companies of unknown ownership is not.
I don't know if any other American journalist and 9-11 researcher has been attacked, TASERed, and had their elbow broken by an undercover tactical squad in front of their family in the United States, but I know that when it happened to me in August 2006 it was very much a non-issue with the controlled media.
The position of foreign minister, or secretary of state in the United States, is a very important position, second only to the president or prime minister. Since foreign policy is the only policy coming out of Washington or London these days, these positions are of crucial importance and speak volumes about who is really controlling the government.
In the United States and Britain we have very strange people with odd backgrounds in these high-level appointed positions. The current British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs is a 42-year-old politician named David Wright Miliband, the son of the Belgian-born Marxist, Adolphe "Ralph" Miliband.
The U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a 53-year-old former professor, holds the comparable position in the American government.
What is most peculiar -- and telling -- is that the backgrounds, loyalties, and ideologies of these two high-level appointed officials are never discussed in the Zionist-controlled media; clearly this is a non-issue.
It goes without saying that both Miliband and Rice are dedicated Zionists, they are, after all, serving in extremely pro-Zionist governments. But why are their personal and family histories not discussed by the media? Don't the American and British people have a right to know the person who is overseeing the implementation of their national foreign policy?
David Miliband, who only became a Member of Parliament in June 2001, was recently in Basra, Iraq, when the British officially stepped back from their failure and turned over control to Iraqi authorities.
Although Miliband and other British officials have tried to put a good face on the disastrous results of the Anglo-American invasion and occupation, the fact that it has been a complete failure is painfully apparent to all.
As a senior Iraqi military officer told ABC News, "The British legacy in Basra is criminal gangs, a corrupt and infiltrated police force, and borders open to all."
Major-General Jalil Khalaf, the new police commander in Basra, told the Times of London: "They left me militia, they left me gangsters, and they left me all the troubles in the world."
Yousif Nassar, one of Basra's most famous composers, is also disappointed at what the British did to his city. "The British Forces created chaos and failed to deliver what they promised," he said, as reported by the Times of December 17, 2007.
The Times article was entitled "Crumbling services and violence on the streets, but hope follows British pullout."
"We congratulate all of those who have helped achieve this, most notably British and Coalition military and civilian personnel," Defense Secretary Des Browne and David Miliband said in a joint statement when the pullout was announced. How could these senior British officials congratulate anyone for their achievments in Basra? The Anglo-American occupation of Iraq is nothing but an unmitigated disaster. Perhaps that was the plan all along?
Knowing who David Miliband is and what he represents is key to understanding the real power behind Britain's foreign policy. This is certainly the reason the Zionist-controlled media keeps the British population – and the world – ignorant of the Miliband family's roots – in Brussels.
David Miliband is the son of Ralph Miliband, born Adolphe in Brussels in 1924, and Marion Kozak. Ralph was a well known Marxist political theorist. Ralph, who died in 1994, is buried in Highgate Cemetery close to his idol, Karl Marx.
David's brother, Edward Samuel Miliband, is also a member of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's cabinet where he has been chairman of the Treasury's Council of Economic Advisers, which directs the UK's long-term economic planning.
Beyond that, the family history gets confusing and misleading, on purpose I'm sure.
The online biography of Adolphe "Ralph" Miliband says he was born in Brussels of Polish-Jewish emigré parents and that both his parents lived in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw, before his father, Samuel "Sam" Miliband, joined the Red Army in the Polish-Soviet or Bolshevik War (February 1919 – March 1921).
Sam Miliband is said to have left Poland after the First World War, which ended in November 1918. He supposedly became a leather worker in Belgium and then returned to Poland to join the Red Army under the command of Leon Trotsky (born Lev Davidovich Bronstein) in 1920.
The commanders who served under Trotsky in the Bolshevik War against Poland were Mikhail Tukhachevsky, Aleksandr Yegorov, Joseph Stalin, and Felix Dzerzhinsky.
Nikolay Bukharin, writing in the Soviet newspaper Pravda, urged the Bolsheviks to carry on beyond Warsaw "right up to London and Paris."
General's Tukhachevsky's order of July 2, 1920 read:
To the West! Over the corpse of White Poland lies the road to world-wide conflagration. March on Vilno, Minsk, Warsaw! Onward to Berlin over the corpse of Poland!
Why would a poor leather worker in Belgium give up his work and travel all the way to Poland to fight with the Bolshevik Red Army against the Polish Republic and the West? If this is true, Samuel Miliband must have been a very dedicated communist.
This is, however, most certainly not the whole truth. The family tree of the family of David and Edward Miliband clearly indicates that their grandfather Samuel Miliband was also born, like their father Adolphe, in Brussels in 1865. In this case, Brussels-born Sam must have been an extremely dedicated communist. There is another possible explanation. Perhaps Sam was a Zionist emissary on a mission to bring support and funds to the Red Army in their attempt to conquer Poland. If the family tree is correct that Sam Miliband was born in Brussels, there is something more to the Miliband story.
The Miliband family tree provides the names and dates of birth of Samuel's 11 siblings, his parents, and even his grand-parents, data which supports it as a credible source. Why then has the Zionist-controlled media obscured the Miliband family history and pretended that David's father was born in Warsaw, when his family records indicate he was born in Brussels?
This is information about the Miliband family that the Zionist-controlled media had evidently decided that the public does not need to know. It also suggests that the preferential treatment and promotions that the Milibands have received since coming to Britain have more to do with their high-level connections than with their abilities.
Their connections and loyalties are evidently to the highest levels of the Zionist "Communist" International in Brussels, which is the only reason they are in the positions they are in. Their loyalty is clearly not to the British nation or people.
The same is true of Condoleezza Rice, who was mentored at the University of Denver by the Czechoslovakian Jewish immigrant, Josef Korbel, the father of the previous secretary of state, Marie Jana Korbelova, a.k.a. Madeleine Albright.
One might think that this amazing coincidence would be newsworthy but it has generally been ignored by the controlled media as well. This is probably because the obvious question, "Who is Josef Korbel?" is a question the Zionist-controlled media does not want to address.
Josef Korbel (1909-77) was a Czechoslovakian diplomat in the London-based "government" in exile of Edvard Benes, which took power in Prague after World War II. Korbel was the father of Bill Clinton's Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, and the mentor of George W. Bush's Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. What a coincidence – or is it?
Korbel was also a thief. Korbel stole paintings which belonged to German industrialist Karl Nebrich, whose property in Prague was confiscated as part of the post-war Benes decrees. Like the more than three million other ethnic Germans from Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia, Nebrich and his family were expelled from the country under the postwar decrees, which oddly remain in force to this day.
Would any European nation that banned Jews and confiscated their property be allowed to be a member of the European Union? Why are such racist laws permitted against Germans?
Korbel's stealing of property and art is just the tip of the iceberg. Korbel was involved in the United Nations partition of India and Pakistan and the illegal arming of the Zionist fighters in Palestine until the end of 1948.
When the communists came to power in 1948, Korbel was charged and sentenced and fled to New York where he lived in the cottage house of a very large mansion in Great Neck, New York. He was eventually given a teaching position at the University of Denver.
The Korbel's move to New York is described in Seasons of Her Life, A Biography of Madeleine Albright:
The Korbels settled into a home just outside New York City. One of Joseph Korbel's colleagues at the United Nations had helped the family rent a small gardener's cottage at 149 Station Road in a woodsy section of Great Neck, a prosperous and developing suburban community on Long Island's North Shore.
Korbel clearly played a key role in the Zionist-Israeli weapons pipeline from Czechoslovakia, which was the main supplier and base for the nascent Israeli Air Force. The Zionist air bridge from Czechoslovakia, known as Operation Balak, was the essential weapons supply line and is regarded as one of the Israeli Air Force's most important achievements. Czechoslovakia provided weapons, ammunition, and the first fighter airplanes to the Zionist forces in Palestine.
The would-be Israelis even operated their own airbase and pilot training school in Czechoslovakia. Yugoslavia played an important role as the main transit point for arms shipments going by sea and a refueling stop for the Israeli and Zionist pilots flying fighter aircraft from Czechoslovakia to Palestine – which became the State of Israel after May 1948.
Korbel, an avowed anti-communist and senior member of the Benes government, became the Czech ambassador to Belgrade at this time, although he hated the socialism of Tito. Korbel was the ambassador in Yugoslavia because he was playing another more important role: the key Zionist point man in the illegal weapons transfers to Jewish forces in Palestine. The people, such as Shimon Peres, who were involved in the illegal weapons smuggling to the Haganah and the Irgun terrorist gangs in Palestine have been at the top of the Zionist hierarchy since 1948.
There is, of course, much more to the sordid Milliband, Korbel, and Rice histories. This material is provided simply to illustrate the high-level Zionist connections of the people who shaped and taught the current foreign ministers of Britain and the United States. Because this information is not provided by the controlled media in these two great nations, I am providing this research to help my fellow Americans and British friends realize who is controlling their foreign policy – which is nothing short of disastrous.
"What Has Israel Done for the United States Lately?
This is only a partial list, but no list that shows Israel's "friendliness" towards the U.S. would be complete without mentioning that Day which will live in infamy, June 8, 1967, when elements of the IDF savagely and brutally attacked a U.S. ship in international waters, the USS Liberty, killing 34 and wounding over 174 Americans, in an assault that lasted for over 75 minutes.
Israel, you even went so far as to machine gun survivors trying to escape in life boats. I know you machine gun Palestinian kids regularly, for the crime of throwing some rocks, but machine gunning wounded Americans, trying to escape a sinking ship?
What has our "bestest" and only "friend" in the ME done for the United States lately?
Good question.
Let's take a look at some of the "favors" bestowed by Israel upon the U.S. lately:
Jonathan Pollard
The Jonathan Pollard spy case, in which Pollard stole extremely sensitive data, including info on American ICBM's and their launch codes, targeting data coordinates and firing locations.
In short, our entire attack plan for defending ourselves against the only other true nuclear state on the planet with the firepower and means to destroy this nation.
Pollard gave that top secret intelligence to Israel, who in turn, traded it to our mortal enemy at the time, the former U.S.S.R. in exchange for letting Soviet Jews migrate to Israel.
This was probably one of, if not the, most serious breach of security in the history of the U.S., since the Soviets possibly could have nuked our country and turned this land into a radioactive wasteland, before our "birds" even got out of their silos.
What in the hell kind of "friend" stabs someone in the back like that?
No sane and rational "friend" that cares about your well being, which most good friends do.
Selling technology to China
Not content with giving away our secrets to Soviet Russia, Israel is now playing footsie with the emerging nuclear superpower, Communist China.
What's with this love of communist regimes, Israel? Is it a genetic leftover from the days when your Bolshevik buddies turned Russia into one huge concentration camp?
Israel has seriously impacted our ability to maintain air dominance in war time, with their brazen quid pro quo to China of what was once the top fighter-bomber in the world, the F-16.
The newest addition to the Chinese air force, the F-10 multi-role fighter, is an almost identical version of the Lavi (Lion). The Lavi was a joint Israeli-American design based upon the F-16 for manufacture in Israel, but financed mostly with American aid. Plagued by cost overruns, it was canceled in 1987, but not before the U.S. spent $1.5 billion on the project.
Not content with giving Communist China our F-16 flight technology, Israel has also been selling China our surface to surface missile technology, which in turn, China has been selling to Iran.
If we ever get into a shooting war with Iran, your brazen acts of espionage could very well mean that American pilots will be getting killed by our own technology, courtesy of our only "friend" in the ME.
What's with that? Are you so enamored with money that you can't help it when you see a chance to make a fast buck?
Does your love of money mean more than your "special relationship" with the U.S?
Deliberately providing false intelligence in the run up to the invasion of Iraq.
Yes, Israel, your shills and fifth columnist ginned up phony info, outright lies and Photoshop pics of alleged WMD sites in Iraq, to help feed the paranoia and fear the U.S. was experiencing after 9/11--Don't even get me started on that subject and how Israel's MOSSAD was complicit on several levels in that false-flag, that would take a separate posting.
Your agents like Wolfowitz created two more intelligence teams to funnel disinformation from Iraqi exiles to the White House. They were led by Pentagon neo-con hawks Douglas Feith and Abraham Shulsky. The three teams reportedly fed distorted or exaggerated information to Bush and Blair. More spurious reports came to Powell from VP Dick Cheney's neo-con chief of staff, Lewis Libby. Neo-cons like William Kristol and William Safire provided pro-war media propaganda.
Many of the senior officials involved in this apparent fraud were members of the Project for the New American Century, a hawkish, far-right group close to Israel's Likud Party that called in 2000 (before 9/11) for the invasion of Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Iran, and worldwide American dominion. Given the lack of WMD's in Iraq, these red-faced neo-cons and Zionists now claim the weapons were moved to Syria and/or Iran, or even Pakistan, their next war targets.
How many of our kids do we have to sacrifice on the Israeli Altar of War before your blood lust is satisfied?
Or, is warring constantly part of your genetic makeup, like your love of gold?
Assassinating US troops in Iraq
According to Richard Wilson, Israeli sniping and IEDs are false flag operations. He says that on March 28, 2005, Americans arrested 19 Mossad agents who fired twice on a US Marine checkpoint. The Marines beat up the Mossad agents and tore off their Star-of-David necklaces. (The US media incorrectly said the agents were Americans.) The Mossad agents said they were employees of Zapata Engineering, which helps the CIA conduct interrogations, and also manages US ammo dumps and US motor pools in Iraq.
Again, Israel, why are you so intent on murdering the kids of your only "friend" in the world, the U.S.A? Is it out of sheer joy or do these murders serve a more sinister purpose, to keep American tempers frayed, so when Mom and Dad see their offspring come home in a casket, not killed by Iraqi's, but by Israeli's, they'll demand vengeance.... against Iraq and anything remotely Arab/Muslim.
Fits in nicely with your plan for an Eretz Israel, doesn't it?
Of course, the large majority of American will never know this truth, since your Zionist buds maintain dominance over the American MSM, thereby preventing real news from reaching the American public.
But that's all part of the plan, isn't it?
Deliberately providing false intelligence in the lead up to the planned invasion of Iran.
Now you want American kids to do your fighting against another of your "existential" enemies, Iran. You had hoped for a wider conflagration to start when you bombed some tired-ass looking concrete building in Syria last Fall, but Syria and Iran didn't take the bait.
Now, you're back with more Photoshop doctored pics , showing what you claim was a nuclear reactor in Syria, but anyone who isn't blind or doesn't wear a yarmulke knows damn good and well that the Syrian photos were as bogus as your alleged "friendship" with the U.S.A.
And your obedient servants in the MSM are repeating and repeating the Big Lie, that Iran is going to have the nuke in two years.... "Wait, in one year!!!"
"No, wait, in six months" .... Oh shit, they have a nuke right now, so America, it's time for you to turn Iran into another solid experiment with democracy and sanity, just like Iraq.
You'd do that for your bestest buddy, wouldn't you, America?
Leading importer to America of ecstasy
Not content with using lies, BS and your well oiled media machine to send American kids off to die fighting wars for Israel, back here in the states, you have helped the kids not in uniform get hooked on illegal drugs, like Ecstasy,
by being the #1 manufacturer and importer of Ecstasy to the U.S.
These are the actions of a "friend", lying repeatedly and regularly to get American kids to fight your wars, and helping other American kids get strung out on illegal drugs?
If that's your idea of being a "friend", what do you do to your enemy? Oh that's right, you occupy their land, and block all points of ingress, cutting off food, fuel, water, medicines, commit extrajudicial murders at random and bomb their hospitals, making seeing a doctor impossible.
Ethnic cleansing on a nation-wide scale, sorta your version of Judenrein for Arabs.
Can we break off this toxic relationship and do it now, before any more of your "friendly" overtures get us all killed?
Dov Zackheim and the missing Pentagon Trillions
What is the most outrageous piece of news that isn't being discussed?
I would venture to say it is the strange tale of Dov Zakheim and the missing trillions. I hear all kinds of numbers. I hear 2.3 trillion from Rumsfield and I hear about one trillion that Zakheim can't explain. Still, you'll need to check the dates of Zakheim's days in the saddle as Pentagon Comptroller and then you can wonder to your hearts content. There's no doubt the money is gone and there's no doubt about who should know where it went but…what do I know?
Enjoying our 3-4 TRILLION dollars that your U.S. agents spirited out of our country?
Gosh, with the way our economy is crashing and people losing their homes, we sure could use some of that money back, Israel.
"Hello.... hello?" "Operator, the phone line went dead, could you reconnect me with Tel Aviv?
USS Liberty
This is only a partial list, but no list that shows Israel's "friendliness" towards the U.S. would be complete with mentioning that Day that will live in infamy, June 8, 1967, when element of the IDF savagely and brutally attacked a U.S. ship in international waters, the USS Liberty, killing 34 and wounding over 174 Americans, in an assault that lasted for over 75 minutes.
You even went so far as to machine gun survivors trying to escape in life boats. I know you machine gun Palestinian kids regularly, for the crime of throwing some rocks, but machine gunning the people who have stood behind you, for better or worse, since 1948?
This is your idea of being "friendly?"
And don't hand me that BS about the attack being a mistake, as this shows you knew damn well what you were doing that day, a day which we will never forget.
More proof has recently come to light from the Israeli side.
A few years after Attack on the Liberty was originally published, Ennes got a call from Evan Toni, an Israeli pilot. Toni told Ennes that he had just read his book and wanted to tell him his story. Toni said that he was the pilot in the first Israeli Mirage fighter to reach the Liberty. He immediately recognized the ship to be a US Navy vessel. He radioed Israeli air command with this information and asked for instructions. Toni said he was ordered to "attack". He refused and flew back to the air base at Ashdod. When he arrived he was summarily arrested for disobeying orders.
Israel, I'm not sad, but happy to say that our "special relationship" is hereby dissolved. Being with you is like being a battered wife, living with a sadistic bastard who gets his jollies by beating up and anally raping his wife, but only after he has softened her up by punching her repeatedly.
This marriage is OVER and it's time you realized that so you can move on and get some professional help so that in the future, you can maybe, just maybe, develop a somewhat healthy outlook on people and life in general.
But whatever happens, don't you ever drag your sorry ass back and ask to move back in, since 60 plus years of lies, deceptions, false-flag ops, theft of our wealth and worse of all, the planned and methodical killing of our sons and daughters means you have forfeited all ties to humanity and forever destroyed any chance of being our "friend."
Posted in
To paraphrase J.F. Kennedy
... do not ask what Israel can do for you, ask what you can do for Israel!
in a nutshell: no less than 100 million people killed by the talmudic bastards' influence and actions in past world wars; and about 200 million if you include the slave trade. likely another 100 million, including recent wars since ww2, the starvation of Africa (etc), and even more if you include the effects of all the poisons foisted upon us ala protocols of tzion; depleted uranium mutations notwithstanding, nor future world war that kills billions.

How Do You Format a Five Paragraph Essay?
A typical high school essay must have five paragraphs, the first of which is the introduction. The three following ones form the body, while the last paragraph is the conclusion.
The first sentence of your introduction is extremely important. It should provide a clue about the essay subject and encourage your reader to continue. There are three common ways to open an essay:
- Generalization. A broad statement of the story you are going to tell, or a question you are trying to answer.
- Quotation. It should be relevant to the topic of your essay and provide a hint of your main idea. A well-chosen quotation will intrigue the readers and make them feel the importance of what you are writing about.
- A joke or a short funny story. This method should be used carefully. Some teachers may disapprove of it, especially when the subject is serious. Otherwise, starting your essay with an anecdote is a good way to relax your readers and win their attention.
After you have introduced your work in one of these ways, you can either jump to the body of your essay, or add a thesis statement where you precisely name the person or thing you are writing about; briefly state your position. You may also list up to three arguments in favor of your view. The body of your essay should support these arguments with evidence.
If you want to include the thesis statement, make it the last sentence of your introductory paragraph.
Each of the three body paragraphs should follow this scheme:
- A transition sentence that connects this paragraph to the previous one.
- One statement that you make about the essay subject.
- A piece of evidence in support of your statement.
- An explanation as to why this evidence is important (at least one sentence).
- A concluding sentence to summarize this paragraph.
You should not make more than one statement or give more than one piece of evidence in a single paragraph, as it may confuse your readers.
If your body paragraphs are short, you may not be able to include all the elements listed above. However, make sure to maintain the order, i.e. the explanation should follow evidence.
In your concluding paragraph, you should demonstrate that your essay has reached its goal. Tell the reader what you have discovered or proven. This final part is closely connected to the opening one. If your introduction asks a question, your conclusion should answer it with a short summary of your research.

Teachers believe new language in an education bill an attempt to bust their union.
Lawmakers tried and failed to make it easier to decertify unions in the past, but union leaders said the latest push might actually succeed.
Teachers fear the bill has a better chance to pass because it's part of a bigger education bill tied to money and other school issues.
Currently, the unions only need 30 percent of the workforce to stay certified. The bill would boost that percentage up to 50 percent.
"The only way to keep us quiet is to decertify us," said Apryle Jackson, president of the Osceola County Education Association.
Teachers said the bill has a better chance at passing because it's tied to money and deals with everything from bullying to charter schools.
Orange, Osceola and Brevard counties report having 50 percent of teachers as paying members.
Seminole was below at 47.9 percent and Volusia County higher with 70 percent.
"Any union is at risk," said Orange County teachers' union President Wendy Doromal when asked if the union is at risk of being decertified.
Special education teacher Brian Moriarty said he's taught with and without a union before.
"At this point in my career, I would never work at a job without a union," he said.
He and other teachers fear more teachers will leave the profession if pay and other protections are in jeopardy
"Without a contract, everything is up for grabs," said teacher David Contron. "If people can't afford to be teachers, then the kids suffer."
The Osceola County union is particularly worried about educational support professionals who are also covered in the bill since they make less money and fewer of those workers pay union dues.
The sponsor of the bill was not available for comment.

TORONTO, June 9 (Reuters) - Canadian department store operator Hudson's Bay Co shares plunged on Friday, touching an all-time low as the company announced a major restructuring plan that will cut 2,000 jobs, and reported a loss that was wider than expected and bigger than the previous quarter.
Shares sank 68 Canadian cents, or 7.1 percent, to C$8.94, lower than its previous low of C$8.97 hit on January 12. (Reporting by Solarina Ho; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

After the Florida legislature was unable to agree on a bill that would have expanded the state's medical marijuana program, canna-businesses have been left in legal grey area. Some businesses have been selling full-strength medical marijuana to registered patients, but some legal experts believe that these sales are not fully legal because the state has not yet put its regulatory framework in place.
"It's amazing how clueless people are about what's going on in Florida," an anonymous source within the state's MMJ industry said. "It's been legal for a while and everyone seems to be very surprised about it when they find out we're selling marijuana here." The source insists that these sales are legal, because voters approved an amendment last year that legalizes full-strength medical cannabis for a wider variety of patients.
However, some legal experts versed in cannabis law disagree, and assert that these sales are not legal until Florida finalizes its MMJ rules and regulations. "I know everybody wants to expand their business, but until these rules are adopted, it would seem to me questionable whether or not they could sell to patients for which the program has not been authorized," Jeff Sharkey, the executive director of the Medical Marijuana Business Association of Florida, said. "Some people think [the amendment] is self-actualizing. But it's really not."
Florida lawmakers recently attempted to pass a bill to guide the state's rulemaking process, but the state House and Senate were unable to reconcile two different versions of the bill by the end of the current legislative session. "On Day 60, they couldn't strike a deal on some reasonable issues, so the whole thing fell apart," said Ben Pollara of MMJ advocacy group Florida For Care.
Now that the bill has failed, the Florida Department of Health must write the rules that will govern the state's MMJ program. The deadline for the creation of these rules is July 3rd, after which the current legal grey area will hopefully be cleared up.

We recommend family members attend support groups because of the knowledge gained and comfort received from them. No matter what the physical or cognitive disease your loved one has, you can find a support group that addresses it and the challenges you face. By attending, you gain different perspectives from others going through similar issues, and come away with hope and fortitude.
Why Join a Family Caregivers Support Group?
- Education: Whatever the support group topic is, the leader (sometimes called a facilitator) will be knowledgeable about it. They should also be ready, willing and able to research questions they might not have the answers to immediately and get the answers to you after the meeting via phone or email. Alternatively, they can report back to the whole group at the next meeting. The other members will share their own caregiving experiences and knowledge, too.
- Empathy: This is one of the best reasons to attend a caregiving support group! It's very common when facing any problem or obstacle to feel that you're alone or that no one understands what you're going through. NOT!! And a family caregivers support group illustrates this in spades. All of the members are in the midst of caregiving. You can "let it all hang out" with people going through something very similar to what you're experiencing. They truly understand your ups and downs.
- Brainstorming: A good support group leader encourages members to help each other, and brainstorming is a great way to do this. When someone mentions a challenge they are facing, it's beneficial to get tips, strategies and new ideas on how to deal with whatever you are having a hard time with. Role playing at meetings also helps members prepare in advance for difficult talks they plan to have with their care recipients.
- Resources: Often a support group leader and its members will be familiar with, and recommend, other community resources that can assist you in multiple ways. One person can't possibly know all of the local health care service providers out there — and more are starting up every day. It's also good to hear other people's feedback on services they've used, both pros and cons.
- Friendship: Support group members connect at meetings, and then exchange phone numbers to keep in touch between meetings. Often members who live in close proximity start carpooling to meetings and/or go out for coffee or a meal afterwards to continue the discussion . . . or just have some fun! Some caregivers who met in a support group started a respite cooperative between them. They take turns watching the other person's care recipient so the caregiver gets a break or can run some errands, etc. It's like a babysitting cooperative, but for caregivers. Making long-lasting friendships is an added and unexpected bonus.
- Paying it forward: Many times people continue to attend a support group even after their issue/health concern/stage of life is over or resolved. "Veterans" have lots of good information and life experiences to share with newcomers to a support group. Members appreciate the commitment by these people to help and share with others. Widows, widowers and adult children come to caregiver support group meetings after their loved ones have passed away to share that very difficult stage of caregiving with the group, and receive lots of love and caring in return.
Selecting a Support Group
It is smart to "shop" for a support group that you feel comfortable with, from the physical setting, to the demographic of the membership, to the leader's style as well as the meeting format. There is a support group that is right for you, so try different groups until you find it!
Give a support group meeting more than one chance. Attend at least two meetings before crossing a group off your "potential" list. Make sure your first impression is valid, even if it wasn't necessarily a positive one. What's an extra hour or two of your life when it could lead to a great long-term experience if given another chance? Other people find they enjoy going to multiple support groups regularly every month because each one offers something different than another — which is also an excellent strategy!
Don't feel you have to go to every meeting to gain value from the group. Your attendance may ebb and flow like waves. If things are on an even keel, you may not have the need to attend, but then a new challenge or pressing questions arise and you need to return to your support group again.
Support Groups Online vs. In Real Life?
Online support groups are growing in popularity. Getting to "know" people from all over the world is certainly fun and gratifying through an internet connection. But there is still something about face-to-face communication that has online interactions beat by a mile!
Plus, you can't squeeze someone's hand or hug someone online, and these gestures are an important aspect of many support groups! Especially as caregivers, we can always use more hugs! 🙂
For all of these reasons, we hope you'll attend a support group meeting for family caregivers in the near future!

A sociopath is a person who has no conscience but has effectively learnt how to manage his way through a life where few people can detect that they are different than him. Sociopaths are often charming and likable, but they can be frightening in their tactics, such as lying, to get what they want when they want it.
Lack of Conscience
A sociopath more often than not has the rest of society fooled with his brash and coldhearted ability to have no remorse or guilt--no matter who the person he is affecting is--and to have no care about the well-being of others. A sociopath has no conscience and, therefore, has a make-believe step-by-step scenario life of doing whatever she wants and covering it up with a false sense of sincerity by masking that anything about her (and her psychological make-up) may be different than you.
Thrill Seeking
A sociopath's job is to get as much thrill out of his victim as he can, but not get caught. They manipulate, cheat, lie and colour situations for no purpose but to get some satisfaction out of the fact that they can bring another person down, and easily. To someone who has no conscience, it is easy to tell a little white lie about a co-worker, to manipulate a lover and make them feel inferior, or to make promises to get people on her side, only to find that those promises were false. This is all easy to do because the person has nothing within him telling him that it is morally wrong.
Opposing Extremes
A sociopath may want to rise to power and use her lack of a conscience to manipulate large groups of people, with or without blood lust. A terrorist is an example of someone who has no conscience and an affinity for harming others in a violent manner. There are also sociopaths who will want to just try to get by with as little effort as possible. They will use up the resources of everyone around them until the rivers run dry and then move on to their next victim.

The Acclaim comes with a 3-megapixel camera with an LED flash. We wouldn't recommend the use of flash for most pictures, as it results in a blown-out image, but it could be useful in especially dark environments. Otherwise, the picture quality was decent for the most part. Colors look a little duller than we would like, but images were sharp with hardly any blur. You can record video with the camera as well.
We tested the Samsung Acclaim in San Francisco using U.S. Cellular's roaming network partners, as U.S. Cellular isn't offered here. Call quality was mediocre, and the speakerphone quality in particular was disappointing.
On our end, we heard our callers pretty clearly, but we detected a lot of static and hiss. Callers also reported static and hiss, in addition to the occasional voice crackle. Voice quality on the whole sounded very indicative of a cell phone call: harsh and machine-like. Speakerphone calls were pretty horrid. The crackling increased tenfold and there was quite a bit of echo as well.
We weren't able to access EV-DO here in San Francisco, but even without it the network's data speeds were pretty good. We managed to download CNET's mobile site is just 15 seconds, whereas BBC's full site took only 25 seconds. YouTube clips had little to no buffering, and we had no problems with sound and picture synchronization.
Even though some might bemoan the Acclaim's 800Mhz processor as slower than the 1Ghz Snapdragon on the more popular Android phones, we found it zippy enough for our needs. We experienced zero lag time when flipping through menus, and the accelerometer kicked in with very little delay.
The Acclaim has a 1,500mAh lithium ion battery, and it has a rated battery life of 8 hours talk time and 18.8 days standby time. It has a tested talk time of 7 hours and 1 minute. According to the FCC, it has a digital SAR of 0.29 watt per kilogram.

Haro Z10 BMX
The Z series, Z10 is available in:
Gloss Black – HA1100
Gloss Orange – HA1101
Gloss Bad Apple – HA1102
Gloss Bluebell -HA1103
The Z1 is as the name implies, the top of the Z-line model range for true all-terrain bikes. Though retaining the same basic architecture as those lower in the model range, the Z1 has the largest and most mature frame of all the off-roaders. As a sort of hybrid, this will in all likelihood be the first time Junior will have to do without the familiar comfort of a coaster foot brake, a fact which you may want to communicate before he takes that first ride downhill. The Z1 is the first in Haros range with hand-brakes only.

From Granada, graduated from Administration and Business Management, IE student, investor and a convinced person that his path as an entrepreneur must necessarily walk the road of what he is passionate about. He knows the work environment from both sides of the coin: employee and employer; so he values the work from all its perspectives.
Born Entrepreneur, with 9 years of experience as Telepizza and Adidas Commercial Manager, Miguel Angel García decides to dive into the water and spend his time and knowledge to work on his own.
The opportunity was on the table and without hesitation Miguel Angel assures that "I noticed a growing market full of potential in the digital business; there is an increasing awareness of the power of having a presence on the web; a first digital impression is crucial. This is a market that I like, that I am passionate about and that is why I decided to turn an idea into a business. This way, a job is no longer work".
Under this premise 8Web is born, a 100% spanish development and design agency website, which offers the creation of webpages and online stores, free of charge and without annual permanence. García says that "we are pioneers in this business model and although there are a few who copy us, we were the first to offer a free service, with delivery in a week and the only fee you are charged off is the maintenance fee".
No excuses
While it is true that the current environment in Spain does not promote strong policies to support entrepreneurship, there are no excuses when you want to realize an idea. Miguel Angel has made it clear "the one who wants to start something does not leave to its circumstances the conditioning whether it does or not; Is in oneself, independently of the country".
However, making it possible does not mean it is easy. It is a career in the background and opening the company is just the beginning. We must consolidate, stay visible and grow; especially if it is a digital business where there are fewer barriers to get in and where the competition goes from being local to being global. That is one of the biggest challenges of Garcia and 8Web for the year just beginning.
His bet is clear and it aims to grow, attract new customers and maintain a solid strategy to strengthen the brand and make it more visible. What Miguel Angel considers more difficult is "to become known in the market, that is why this year we will focus on investing in marketing to increase our presence; While we want to increase our staffing and offer more services".
This is the year in which 8Web wants consolidation to serve a market of startups, small and medium enterprises that want to have an online presence. For Garcia "the demand is growing and we must grow to satisfy it with an innovative and quality service".
Entrepreneurship is a background race that Miguel Angel García has decided to run with clear ideas, mental strength to have control over decisions and to understand failures and mistakes as an important part of learning.
After 9 years working for others and with the firm goal of having more control over his decisions, he assumes the risk to be a self-starter. So first hand and without any filter, this young entrepreneur shares his experience.
IDEAS. Challenges that you have faced
MAG. In order to be a self-starter, you must have a very high mental strength. Your environment may not suit your projects and this implies having very clear ideas from the beginning. Managing the emotional aspect may be the hardest part and therefore the biggest challenge.
IDEAS. Any failure, mistake?
MAG. Many. And I am thankful to them, since they are how best you learn, by making mistakes.
IDEAS. In which sector would you not venture to get into?
MAG. Something I'm not passionate about.
IDEAS. There are business environments and / or societies that understand negatively the failure and there are those who assume it as learning and opportunity. As someone who is inside that environment. What do you think?
MAG. Every successful entrepreneur have made mistakes which make them learn to improve. At this point I emphasize again the mental aspect. As an entrepreneur you must have very clear ideas, and therefore failures are always a way to learn.
IDEAS. Were you born or did you become an entrepreneur along the way?
MAG. It has been in my interior since ever.
IDEAS. They say that once you start you can not get out of that way anymore.
MAG. I agree. Once you meet your inner need and you are fulfilled and happy with yourself it is difficult to return to work for others.

While there is some work that touches on the significance of mental illness to responsibility, and a few extended treatments of particular disorders, this only scratches the surface. Most of the research has been on the appropriateness of blame for individuals with psychopathy or those grappling with addiction, which excludes a wide variety of other rather different psychopathologies. Our workshop seeks to expand the conversation and push the research in new directions.
The Big Idea series is meant to introduce a topic of general interest and share a philosophical perspective on the matter. After a brief 15-minute presentation on the topic, the speaker fields questions from the audience. Free and open to the public.

Mulhall-Orlando Public Schools
Bond Election Facts
Election Date: February 13, 2018
THANK YOU FOR VOTING YES! Voters respond with 93% in favor of bond!
Read about Election Results in Stillwater News Press
Polling Places: Regular precinct locations in the Mulhall-Orlando School District
Polls Open: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The Need: To approve a $990,000 School Bond Issue for Mulhall-Orlando Public Schools.
On February 13th, a bond issue will be placed before the patrons of the Mulhall-Orlando School District in the form of two propositions to address several areas in immediate need.
Proposition 1: The Elementary School roof has many leaks and is in need of replacement. The roof is beyond repair. A new sloped, metal roof will be installed at a cost of $645,000. Approximately $40,000 of the funds will also be used to renovate some classrooms, and replace needed classroom desks and chairs throughout the district. Worn carpet/flooring will be replaced as well. Replacing the HVAC equipment at the High School will cost $155,000. The proposed Bond Issue will provide the much needed funds to address these areas of concern.
Proposition 2: Additionally, $150,000 of the Bond Issue will be spent on transportation. With the money provided, the school district will be able to acquire two new buses for student transportation.
These bonds will be repaid by property taxes within the Mulhall-Orlando School District. These bonds will go on the tax rolls after the previous bond issue goes off. Because this bond issue is slightly larger than the previous bond issue, taxes are expected to increase slightly. For every $100 a patron pays in property taxes now, you will see an increase of approximately $0.33 per month should this bond issue pass.

House Passes H.R. 10—Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act of 2015—October 21, 2015 by a vote of 240-191.
The SOAR Act includes a reauthorization of the successful and bipartisan D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) which gives low-income parents education options for their children that include faith-based alternatives.ACSI member-schools in the District of Columbia participate in the program. OSP scholarship recipients graduate at a rate of 90%, some 30-points higher than DC public school students.Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) deserves thanks for sponsoring the legislation and for his many years of proven commitment to the OSP. The next step is for the Senate to take up the legislation.Thank you to all those who called/emailed their Representative about this important parental choice legislation for the District of Columbia.
Please Take Action! House to Vote Wednesday, 10/21, on school choice bill, H.R. 10, the SOAR Act.The SOAR Act would reauthorize the District of Columbia Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) and for other purposes. Please contact your Representative and urge him/her to support the bipartisan H.R. 10, Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Act of 2015.
Washington, D.C. - The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) welcomes today's introduction of the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Act of 2015 in Congress. The SOAR Act reauthorizes the District of Columbia Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP), a popular and successful parental choice program designed to give low-income District parents more options for educating their children. It also provides additional funding to D.C. public and public charter schools.
"The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) gives options to parents and students in D.C. who need those options most," said Dr. John Storey, Senior Director of ACSI's Northeast Division. "Our member-schools in the District are grateful to serve parents for whom both academic strength and Christian faith are priorities."
"ACSI thanks Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) for introducing the SOAR Act and for his long and proven record of support for D.C. parents and children who benefit from the OSP," noted Dr. Tom Cathey, ACSI Director for Legal Legislative Issues. "The OSP is a valuable program and it's easy to see why it has bipartisan support. We urge Congress to act quickly to pass the SOAR Act."
Speaker Boehner introduced the bipartisan SOAR Act, H.R. 10, with original co-sponsors Reps. Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), John Kline (R-MN), Todd Rokita (R-IN), Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) and Luke Messer (R-IN).
The OSP awarded 1442 scholarships to students who attend one of 51 participating schools in 2014-15. Expenditures for 2014 were $13.4 million. Families on food stamps or who earn 185% of the federal poverty line qualify for scholarships.
The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is a nonprofit, non-denominational, religious association providing support services to nearly 24,000 Christian schools in over 100 countries. ACSI serves 3,000 Christian preschools, elementary, and secondary schools and 90 post-secondary institutions in the United States, including four member-schools in the District of Columbia. Member-schools educate 5.5 million children worldwide.

Glorious Otmoor in the sunshine. Flotilla of ducks from the first screen.
Meeting up with Pat Galka. He showed me a terrific photo, he had just taken of a Goldcrest, he had found behind the 1st screen. Very kindly he sent me the photo to show on my blog. Cheers Pat. Brilliant!

The second screen area produced a very smart Lesser Whitethroat and a male Blackcap. There seemed to be a great deal more Warblers around than there had been over the previous days. Half way along the track back to the first screen, I found a mixed flock of Warblers and Tits. Another Lesser Whitethroat, a female Blackcap, several Reed and Sedge Warblers, Chiffchaffs, two willow Warblers, a couple of Great Tits and lots of Blue Tits.

Tuesday 25th September....
A very strong cool wind meant that a lot of the smaller birds were keeping their heads down. far fewer Warblers were seen. Apart from a small flock of six Chiffchaffs hunkered down low in the bare branches, in the bushes towards the end of the path on Greenaways. Greenaways early a,m saw a large movement of Swallows, House Martins, Sand Martins and a solitary Wheatear. Swallows were too numerous to count. They were everywhere you looked. Especially around the Cows.
It doesn't always have to be a rare or scarce bird to give one a buzz. Getting close to even the most common of Otmoor birds can give a huge amount of enjoyment. I had that experience on Tuesday. When this little Reed Bunting followed me along the path to the first screen. A close look at its plumage reveals a wonderful patternation of subtle colours.
Then the highlight of the day for me, came half way down the path to the second screen. As i was looking through my binoculars at a flock of Lapwing out on the far side of the field to see if anything else was amongst them. A flash of black and white shot past my view. A rocket propelled Peregrine Falcon, with the wind behind it sped at lightning speed along, then over the bushes, along the path and disappeared over the second screen. The whole event took only seconds. What a fantastic bird! The speed was unbelievable.
Birding was fairly quiet today, species wise. (Not the weekend see) (Where's the bird magnets when you need them). But an old saying my father told me, when he was a Royal Marine Commando fighting in the jungles of Borneo and Malaya. His Gurkha instructors used to drum into the Marines. "Walk slowly, see everything". Not quite the same as birding i know. But a useful saying none the less. Even if the birding is slow, there is always something to look and wonder at in the natural world.
Natures beauty among the thorns. (second screen)
Lots of Common Darters and Migrant Hawkers around today especially along the path between the screens. This Caddis type fly was hanging on for dear life on the second screen. Blowing around in the strong wind like a flag.
Migrant Hawker__ Southern Hawker. I:D
Below are photos of a Southern Hawker i took earlier in the summer.
Note the coloured spots on the last two tail segments are joined. Especially the second last one that has formed a band. The elongated triangular mark on the first segment can be clearly seen. you can also just see the stripes on the side of the thorax are much wider.
