Urban Exploration
Villa Emblem
I stumbled upon this abandoned household while biking from Duffel to Zandhoven on my way to a delicious ice cream.
Urbex- John Cockerill's Iron Works – Sambre Seraing
John Cockerill might have had a lot of steel in his hands, but thanks to him many countries now have miles of railtracks, steel bridges, just anything you can dream of he was one of those engineers that transformed cokes and iron ore into steel.
Tour de la Famenne – The Elevated Restaurant of Belgium
Me and a good friend of mine stumbled upon this urbex treasure while exploring Wallonia, the south part of Belgium, and we were extremely excited to enter such a tall architectural structure on the highway from Marche-en-Famenne to Namur. It was truly worth the visit.
Abandoned Casco Apartments – De Werve Hoef Wijnegem
Why would these nearly-finished casco apartments stand empty for such a long time?
What once was the oldest theme park of Belgium, Dadipark
Dadipark was amzing to visit, we even slept on the parking lot at the back. And best of all experiences was that we arrived on the day of Halloween. Imagine some scary and noisy people entering the park from where we were camping…
Ngong Ping Tea Garden, Hong Kong
The tea garden of Hong Kong was once a great business, but as the last owner passed away, he had no one to take over this time-consuming job.
Spreepark, Germany
Germany is probably one of the best places in Europe for urban exploring enthusiasts with Berlin being a very interesting city to explore history from an exciting era. From leftovers of the war to theme parks, factories, castles, houses and much more.
The sanatorium for curing tuberculosis
A sanatorium is a medical facility for long-term illness, most typically associated with treatment of tuberculosis (TB). A.k.a. the "Great White Plague".
Château Miranda – the fairytale castle of Noisy, Belgium
This Château was built in 1866 by architect Edward Milner. However, Milner died before the castle was finished. Construction was completed in 1907 after the clock tower was erected. As of 2018 it is completely demolished to the ground.
l'Amicale Solvay a.k.a. piscine mosaique
Let's go back in time and see how things changed at l'Amicale Solvay. A building constructed for the workers of Solvay in 1935 to accommodate them with a cinema, a casino and a swimming pool.
Post X – was the biggest post sorting office of Belgium
This building was for sure the biggest mastodont of Antwerp until it came into disuse and finally in a state of neglect. I've known this building for years and my parents had to go there for their mail. This huge post sorting office was in use until 2007 and it was built around 1987/1988.
Zillion Antwerp – dance club facts & photos
A nostalgic place for many party people, is hereby gone, forever.
Doors opened in 1997 and closed in 2002.
Goodbye to the famous Zillion.
The Red Star Train – a collection of historical trains
A picture of an abandoned train with a star of the Soviet Union on its nose is not something you see every day.
Quickly figured out that its location was Budapest and that this beauty was long forgotten glory of a past era.
Villa 19 – an old abandoned villa with a greenhouse
This was a special one, I admit. Close to Sint-Niklaas and only 19 kilometres from home, so I decided to go there by bike. I'm a real cycling fan and enjoy simply everything of this sport, especially mountain biking.
The Nationalestraat
A poem about the drive to speed up and never stop.
De Badboot – The Swimming pool with no happy ending
What once was a truly awesome swimming pool ship, moored to quay at the Kattendijkdok in Antwerp.
It sank to the bottom and a year later a lifting vessel digged up three parts of the ship and soon the last leftover was taken to the scrapyard.
Abandoned navy ships
At least half an hour of paddling until we reached our destination, a massive bow of a ship rose in front of us. We picked the largest ship to our delight, a huge military French frigate anchored at the bay for years. Covered in rust and ready to be dismantled at the yard at any time.
An underground adventure in the Premetro of Antwerp
A premetro is a form of public transport as a tramway, which includes segments built to rapid transit standards, usually by the construction of tunnels in or near the central city area. And the premetro of Antwerp was just so awesome to explore. Too bad it's now in use.
The Bucket Dredger
The weather was pretty nice on a beautiful day in June, just perfect for spending a day outside. This time I wanted to explore the gigantic Argex dragline machine just 20 minutes from home, standing bulky near a clay pit in Kruibeke.
Zone Braams
A huge whitish sphere somewhere in the fields of Flanders, looking impressively good for its age. At first you recognise a bit of a weird shape and what the heck is it doing there in the middle of nowhere, you ask yourself. Yet another pearl gone unfortunately.

The Only Land They Knew: The Tragic Story of the American Indians in the Old South (J. Leitch Wright, Jr., The Free Press, 1981) – excerpt: The Original Southerners.

True knowledge of the intricate workings of the pre-contact southern Indian civilization is elusive to grasp. Despite this limitation, author and historian J. Leitch Wright, Jr. looks beyond historiography to put together a convincing and alternative picture that contradicts the oft-accepted stories of primitive, promiscuous and violent natives. Instead, Wright paints a picture of a thriving and organized Indian civilization well on its way to achieving potential on par with Aztec and Inca civilizations. (p. 66) He suggests that the Indians may have had a much larger influence on earlier colonial society than was once thought.
To achieve this perspective, Wright weaves together evidence from archaeologists, linguists, folklorists and ethnologists to go beyond the skewed viewpoints of early European settler accounts of lazy, simple and dangerous Indians. Wright mentions radiocarbon data that indicate that Indian civilization had been advancing for over 10,000 years prior to European contact. Wright also focuses on anthropological evidence from the Mississippian Period to extrapolate the potential cultural, political, economic and social advances within Indian society. Evidence examined included pottery, textiles, tools, town excavations, mounds and more.
As the tidal wave of European settlement washed ashore in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Indian population did not diminish nor did it become assimilated immediately. In fact, Wright makes the case that Europeans were highly influenced by Indian agricultural knowledge, community organization, town fortification and structure design, and linear heritage. He also illustrates the community structure of Indians congregating in cities and towns rather than rural areas, negating the idea that Indians were purely agriculturalists. Indians "usually lived in towns and had their fields in the countryside." (p. 55) This evidence reveals a separation of major political and economic life within the city centers from the agrarian holdings in the countryside, much like what we see develop later in the growth of the Virginia colony. Wright also uses evidence of mounds in city centers with political and religious buildings on top of them, revealing an organized societal structure and labor system.
Many early European colonies and settlements also reveal such communal organization, with political and judicial business in the towns near waterways, and agricultural plots in the rural lands. Yet the difference between the two lies with the purpose of agriculture in the two societies. "Capitalism, the profit motive, and the Protestant work ethic were largely foreign to the aborigines" (p. 62) Indians worked the lands as least as possible, only for subsistence for themselves and the entire community. Settlers viewed property through the European profit-oriented lens. Yet, even settlers noticed the sedentary ways of the Indians. They stayed loyal to tobacco for years, as it required the least work and yielded the most profit. Wright argues that even the matriarchal nature of the Indian community may have also had a residual presence in the early African slave communities. Finally, settlers also adopted Indian agricultural planting techniques and seasonal crop choices.
With Wright's conclusions, one might even find themselves considering what may have occurred if European diseases had not been so destructive to the Indian population of the South at the time of contact. Would African slave labor have been necessary? Would settler-Indian agricultural, political and social relations have been much more cooperative and less confrontational? Would the fabric of today's racial tensions be woven between white and Indian instead of between white and black, or be virtually non-existent? Wright's conclusions are effective in convincing us that the Indians of the South were both far more advanced and primarily responsible for some of the early socio-economic structures adopted by early colonist settlements. English colonists learned to survive and prosper thanks to the Indians. In return, the English presence stifled a burgeoning society on the doorstep of potential greatness. Nuances of what survived remain in the South today.

Talk:Documentation/How Tos/Using SQLite With OpenOffice.org
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
Linux Installation
The installation instructions here are for Ubuntu/Debian but this isn't stated. People using other Linux distributions may have problems.
The command to install 'unixodbc' should be
sudo apt-get install unixodbc unixodbc-dev unixodbc-bin
In Ubuntu 10.10 there is a binary package for 'sqliteodbc', it would be better to install this from the package manager.
When configuring unixodbc on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit I also needed to supply Driver64 and Setup64 with the path to the library.

Situated in the hills of the Judean Desert, near the Kidron and Og rivers, in the center of Mishor Adumim, a short distance from Jerusalem, is Hacormim Winery. The winery began in 1848 in the basement of the Shorr family home in the Muslim Quarter in the Old City of Jerusalem, and was moved to its desert locale in the 1970s' by the sixth generation of winemakers, Yechiel and Nechama Shorr. With the move to the new facility, the method of production was changed from classic to modern, greatly influenced by the "new world" of wine making, which, in turn, influenced the development of Israel's wine making industry.
The Winery produces two series of varietal wines and two series of generic table wines, in addition to continuing the classic wine making production of superior quality sweet, aged, and dessert wines and pure grape juice, in the tradition handed down from previous generations. Our wines have been exported to the United States and Europe for many years, gaining a good reputation and a following. For the past two years, the Winery has expanded its production of table wines for the Israeli market.
The winery staff, in all departments, is composed of disabled and special needs workers, who are referred to us by organizations such as Shek"el, Seeach Sod, Elwyn, and others, who work in cooperation with our professionals. Each worker specializes in his or her own field of work, according to his or her abilities. We believe that people with special needs, who are integrated into our workplace, help us all to be more sensitive, humane, and professional, and that the work that they do is a real and significant contribution to the production. Most of the workers have been with us for ten years or more and find a warm and loving home in the winery.
At Hacormim, we use green energy as much as possible, and emphasize the importance of environmental conservation. The main raw materials, for example, glass bottles, are made of biodegradable and recyclable matter, which does not harm the environment and are made using low-energy production with natural gas. The desert climate allows for solar-powered electric without hurting the Earth. Our vintners do all that they can to reduce the bisulfates added to wines, so we can preserve both our wine and the environment in the best way possible.
Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885), the famous Italian-born British financier and philanthropist, dedicated his life to helping Jews around the world. In Israel, he was known as "HaSar Moshe" (Sir Moses). He arrived for his third visit to Israel in 1849, and visited the Holy City of Jerusalem, where he was joyously received by the city's residents. When they were presented to the Baronet, Rabbi Mordechai Avraham Shorr, a chasid and student of the Grand Rabbi Yisroel of Ruzhin, the Headmaster of the yeshiva Tiferet Israel and the owner of a winery, and his son-in-law Yitzchak Shorr, one of the founders of the first winery in the newly-developing Israel of those times, Montefiore was amazed by the industrial and agricultural initiative within the Old City walls, and began to initiate the development of factories in Jerusalem. To this end, he sent looms for textile manufacture, and advanced printing presses for Rabbi Yisroel's print shop. At the same time, Montefiore added a new wing to Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem, and this is how the well-known structure in the famous images of the place was established. (From "The Notes of Sir Montefiore's Visit to the Land of Israel").

As per the meme, here are my 20 points on Gov Camp UK.
Sign up early.
I dawdled and so was only able to get a ticket for Saturday. I feel like I missed out on a lot of interesting conversations.
BarCamps should be recorded for posterity.
It's a point I've made before. Cameras and disk space are so cheap, we should record what we say and do at BarCamps by default. Now, that may inhibit some of the conversations and reduce the "Chatham House" aspect - but individuals can decide whether or not they're happy for their sessions to be recorded.
Take business cards.
Take lots of business cards. So many serendipitous meetings that it's hard to remember who's who. Make sure that your business card carries your Twitter name.
Don't take a laptop (or, at the very least, use it rarely).
As I sat down in one session, a woman said to me "Gosh! You can tell it's a techie event; every one is using their laptops and no one is talking to each other." She was absolutely right. The day is mostly about communication and - while Twitter is great for that - nothing beats turning to the person sitting next to you and having a natter.
I think it's an immutable law of BarCamp that everyone has to present. Even if it's just standing up and saying who you are.
Guaging interest is hard.
I ran two sessions, one only filled up about a fifth of the cavernous space I booked - which was pretty embarrassing. The other was so full it had people sitting on the floor. Don't be afraid of moving rooms - but make sure you let everyone know where you are going.
WordPress is really popular.
I was surprised by how many attendees were WordPress aficionados. It's good to see that Government isn't entirely tied up in proprietary crap.
QR codes generate a lot of interest.
The session I ran on QR was well attended and produced lots of positive feedback. Some people are just starting out with QR and there were loads of great ideas on how they could be used.
The police have an odd sense of humour.
One was wearing a shirt which read "Keep Calm and Carry Baton Rounds" the other, in his introduction, said "I work for the police, previously I was at Rentokill. It's basically the same job!" While I appreciate near the knuckle humour and value free expression, I found the two incidents made me really uncomfortable. Had I turned up wearing a "Burn down the Government" t-shirt, I doubt I would have received a positive welcome. Still, I'd rather people felt free to express themselves at a BarCamp than not.
HMRC will happily let you take the piss out of them.
They're very good sports and lovely people in real life.
Government needs more freedom to innovate.
That was a moan that I heard from several people. They wanted to do amazing things with the knowledge they'd gleaned - but getting sign off in a risk adverse, budget conscious department is tricky.
Building should mean building.
The second day was meant to be about getting people to build, create, or make stuff. In my WordPress session, I asked for volunteers to upgrade their blog to WordPress Mobile Pack live on stage. Amazingly, three did! Now, none of them where major Government sites(!) but it showed people were willing to take a risk and build things.
Perhaps the grid needs curating?
There were too many sessions in the first timeslot, and empty rooms later in the afternoon. There's no way of judging how popular a slot will be, so many sessions were in an room that didn't suit the attendees.
There's no such thing as a silly question.
As a presenter, it's really important not to dismiss a question. If someone hasn't understood something basic, it's more likely to be the presenter at fault than the person asking the question.
Government needs to celebrate their successes more loudly.
I saw some amazing websites, prototypes, and service - none of which I'd heard about. I think it's entirely appropriate for people to make some noise about things they've done well.
Gender Balance.
For a technology conference - there were more than 3 women! A lot more! It's a common moan in IT that the industry has trouble attracting women. Perhaps they all work in local government?
Not Many Female Presenters.
Perhaps it was the sessions I went to, or perhaps they all presented on day one - but there didn't seem to be many women presenting. I wonder if this is something which needs to be addressed?
Big Business Isn't Much different
Everyone goes on about how inefficient Government is and how they're usless at getting anything done. All the complaints I heard from Government people were the same as those that I've heard while working at big businesses. And start-ups. Every organisation has inefficiencies.
Take Photos
I was too busy chatting to snap anything. Luckily there's a rather good set on flickr.
A great day, thought provoking, useful. I hope I convinced some people about why mobile is important and how awesome QR codes are.

Enyimba pip FC Taraba, reclaim top spot
Enyimba yesterday at the Aba Township Stadium continued their steady march to the Glo Premier League title by beating FC Taraba 1-0, reports SuperSport.com.
The match, moved from Sunday to yesterday morning due to heavy downpour, took the 'Peoples Elephant' back to the summit of the table despite their closest rivals, Sunshine Stars, 5-0 defeat of El Kanemi in Akure on Sunday.
But victory did not come easy as the Aba fans had to wait until the last 15 minutes for the match-winning goal from substitute Musa Najare.
Enyimba head coach, Kadiri Ikhana, returning to the bench after missing out last Wednesday owing to his appointment with a dentist, named a strong field of 11 players despite leaving out defensive midfielder Abdulrazak Aliyu entirely, while Daniel Etor, Najare and Nzube Anaezemba started from the bench.
In the other dugout, Ndubuisi Nduka, showed no sign of fear by listing an attack-minded side that included Bishop Onyeudo, Jonah Abutu, Stephen Adah, John Huan Aondongu and Chimaobi Nwaogu – a case of a fallen man not fearing the fall as FC Taraba still languish in bottom place in the standings.
As expected, Enyimba served the first salvo. Winger Ezekiel Bassey threaded the ball through to Kingsley Sokari who broke free in a one-on-one with FC Taraba goalkeeper Ikechukwu Obilo, but instead shot straight at him.
The rest of the half just thinned out with little or no talking point as FC Taraba put in an effort to march their illustrious opponents – man for man and ball for ball.
Unimpressed by the outcome of the first 45 minutes, Ikhana sent on Najare and Etor for Mfon Udoh and Ifeanyi George.
Six minutes into the restart, FC Taraba scored through Nwaogu's header but the referee, Paul Umuago, overruled the attempt for an infringement.
Within minutes, Enyimba won a spot kick after Etor appeared to have been upended in the box albeit a minimal contact by the offending FC Taraba defender.
Markson Ojobo stepped up for the eighth spot kick awarded to Enyimba this season, and Obilor guessed to the right spot and saved to keep his team in the game at 0-0.
And just when FC Taraba thought they had done enough to cross the hour mark and had just less than a quarter to hold on for a big point, Najare struck the winner in the 76th minute off a Peter Onyekachi assist.
Najare's goal was enough to seal the full points for Enyimba to dislodge Sunshine Stars off the summit of the Nigerian league as the race for the title gathers momentum. Enyimba have 48 points, two more than the Akure club.

Have you ever wondered if the things that frighten you are unique to your personality type? I know I have! This is why I've been doing a series of blog posts on fears and the Myers-Briggs® types. I've talked to thousands of people to find out which fears come up the most in each group. ENTJs have been a tricky group to survey for this series! More than many types, ENTJs are known for being fearless and bold in all their endeavors. This is why you'll see that the #3 fear that I got from ENTJs was 'Nothing'. Many ENTJs believed that fears are irrational and easily controlled. However, there were other fears or worries that seemed to come up quite often in the responses I received.
Not sure what your personality type is? Take our new personality questionnaire here. Or you can take the official MBTI® here.
There Are Always Variations
Not every ENTJ is going to be afraid of the exact same things. Enneagram type, environment, childhood experiences, and beliefs all play a part in what we fear. These ten fears came up the most among the 308 ENTJs who responded to me, but I am definitely not trying to imply that every single ENTJ is going to feel exactly the same way.
The Top 10 Fears Mentioned By ENTJs
ENTJs are natural-born leaders with enormous visions and dreams for the future. They are driven by an intense desire to make their mark on the world. They hate the idea of living a less than remarkable life, and they desire to stand out and achieve their dreams at all costs.
ENTJs are extremely independent people, who like to be in control and in charge of their lives and their surroundings. The idea of being physically helpless, paralyzed, or mentally incapacitated in some way is horrifying to them. Take away their freedom to achieve their dreams and be in charge and you take away a key facet of their personality.
3 – Nothing
A large number of ENTJs said that they had no fear, or that fears were irrational, so technically, I really only have nine top ENTJ fears for you. But I decided to count this anyway considering just how many ENTJs responded to the question "what do you fear?" with "nothing". In general, ENTJs experience some of the lowest stress levels of all the types; in fact, only ENTPs and ESTPs have less according to the MBTI® manual. It's possible that since they experience low stress, perhaps they experience less fear and worry as well.
4 – Stupidity
Mental stamina and sharpness are vital to the ENTJ. They thrive on achievement and mental precision. Because they are dominant Extraverted Thinkers, they prefer to have their outer world organized in a logical, efficient way. Dealing with stupidity is completely exasperating to them, and the idea of being led by someone ignorant or having to deal with stupidity can cause them a great deal of stress. This may be more of a worry than a goosebump-inducing fear, but it was definitely mentioned a lot so we're going to count it anyway.
5 – Being controlled
ENTJs are driven by achievement and thrive on being their own bosses. They hate feeling trapped, controlled, or micro-managed. The idea of being physically trapped was a major fear of many ENTJs, while others hated the idea of being emotionally trapped in a bad relationship or in a workplace they can't stand.
6 – Not meeting potential
Meeting goals is of paramount importance to the strategic ENTJ. The idea of dying before accomplishing goals, of wasting time, or not fulfilling their dreams is a real fear to many.
"I think to most ENTJs we fear failure more than anything else. We have high standards and won't accept anything less than perfection in many cases. Not meeting my potential or living a meaningless life is something I worry about a lot."
– Jennifer, an ENTJ
7 – Alzheimers
Because ENTJs rely so heavily on their quick thinking abilities and mental alertness, they greatly fear losing this capability. Life to an ENTJ is meant to be full of purpose, accomplishment, and strategizing. Many feel that they wouldn't be able to live out their purpose and dreams if they have to struggle with Alzheimers.
ENTJs are unflinching in their commitment to their goals. They can seem ruthless to some, but their determination is what makes them some of the most unstoppable leaders in our world. It's rumored that Julius Caesar and Napolean Bonaparte were ENTJs, and I doubt they compromised very much in their lifetimes.
9 – Being stagnant/Not Improving
Wasting time and being a couch potato aren't satisfying to most ENTJs. They live and breathe to accomplish their dreams and visions. They want to continually expand their minds and reach new heights of ingenuity. Being stagnant or stuck in a repetitive, mundane existence is extremely agitating to them.
Being incompetent or dealing with incompetence are mortifying experiences for ENTJs.
"I'm scared that someday I'll realize I was stupid or incompetent and I had no idea. I hate when I feel like I don't know how to do something or I appear unprepared around others. I always like to be the one who knows in advance what to do, how to complete something, and how to come up with logical solutions."
Demetra, an ENTJ

wow I discovered your blog only today and I'm impressed at how relatable I found this article. I didn't realise these were actually "things"- I thought I found them annoying by myself.
The headers 1, 4, 6, 9 and 10 strike particularly close to the bone, although I'm not sure how far I follow the descriptions.
Number 5 is really interesting. I don't "fear" being controlled- rather, self control is so essential to me I can't imagine the opposite. Not having control- or not taking control or not owning situations is hard to even contemplate. The interesting part comes from the fact that I had a strict upbringing and my parents were very controlling (and can still be)- to the extent of even trying to dictate my feelings and reactions. So I made a mental space where I conformed because I chose to. Most life situations are actually not at all in our control, but we can take control of ourselves..
The only thing that I greatly disagree with "entjs experience less stress." Maybe they do in general, but all of these things- stupidity, stagnation, incompetence…they all cause me stress.
I am a 34 yo entj that has been stressed since childhoodReply
This list literally made me so afraid. Because it was useless I decided not to read it until I need it and to do something worth my time instead. "Stagnation" Fuckkkk
I found this list very accurate, and laughed out loud at 'stupidity', because one job I had involved working with many, many stupid people and being nice about it–soooo difficult, and I did get in trouble a few times for letting them see my frustration. I have a similar situation now, and it's only slightly easier. Most people are annoyed by stupid people, but it's REALLY a problem for us ENTJs….reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy! The one fear I did not relate to was 'compromise' — I can see how it made the list, but I think really well-developed and adjusted ENTJs don't have an issue with some compromise. Of course, we'll still try to talk the other party into seeing that our way is better for everyone, but life teaches us that we can't always get our way, and then we simply have to sit back and watch their way fail….which is not efficient, but can't be helped sometimes.Reply

Rich Kids on Instagram Are Revealing Their Parents' Shadiness to Investigators
Instagram posts by rich kids have led to more incriminating evidence for prosecutors about their parents' fraud schemes, The Guardian reports. Leading cybersecurity firms told the site they have been using social media evidence to nail fraud and assets in up to 75 percent of their cases.
Managing director of cybersecurity and investigations at Kroll Andrew Beckett explained firms have been monitoring billionaires', oligarchs', and super rich investors' (unnamed) children's Instagram accounts because oftentimes they geo-tag their extravagant posts, allowing authorities to investigate where exactly their parents are spending their money.
Another cybersecurity expert explained to The Guardian his firm recently was able to seize a "newly acquired private jet" by a fraudster because his son posted a picture of him and his father in front of the jet to Instagram. Similarly, K2 Intelligence in London solved a recovery asset case when a man who claimed to have no significant valuables let his children post pictures on their $25 million yacht in the Bahamas.
Even if a possibly incriminating photo is not geotagged, director of global judgment enforcement at Burford Capital Daniel Hall explained experts are able to use the metadata of the Instagram to find out where it was posted or use a Facebook like for the same reason. He explained: "You can start building up a profile of that individual: where they are; what their interests are; who are they regularly in touch with?"
According to GQ, 50 Cent got in trouble for the exact same reason after he posted the below photo of himself with $100 bills spelling out "BROKE" just a few months after he declared bankruptcy. He was supposedly forced to explain the circumstances of the photo (he said the bills were fake) in court.

I am not sure how these IMEI databases work. It seems like there must be some master list that all carriers have to use, though it could be updated at different intervals. I went to the Verizon site and said I had an existing phone that I would consider transferring to Verizon. I entered my IMEI and the site said it was compatible and could use my phone on Verizon. Verizon is only activating VoLTE phones.
On my SE phones, voice & data are not grayed out. I can click on it. I either get a little rotating circle that keeps going until I reboot, or a message to contact Tracfone. Look at post #25 here for a screen shot. The higher up people at TFW whom I spoke to thought this was significant, i.e., that the option was not grayed out.
On my main phone, it seems I am always running LTE. I would have to manually switch to 3G on the same screen I just referenced. It was only using that new, unactivated SIM card that I got the "Enable LTE" option.
Right now, I will await hearing about your results as well as getting a call back from the the "Miami engineers". Not sure when/if I will try Hpham's idea of testing by SIM-swapping. I do have a reconditioned LG phone I just got from TFW for $15. It says HD Voice is activated, which I believe means that it is using VoLTE. I'm not sure how else to check this, as I have little familiarity with Android phones. There may be an app I could download to test VoLTE.

Welcome to the first day of the book study! Today we will be chatting about chapters of 1 and 2 of Teaching with Intention by Debbie Miller.
Chapters 1 & 2
"I'm convinced that success in the classroom depends less on which beliefs we hold and more on simply having a set of beliefs that guides us in our day-to-day work with children. Once we know who we are and what we believe in the classroom, we become intentional in our teaching, we do what we do on purpose, with good reason. Intentional teachers are thoughtful, reflective people who are conscious of the decisions they make and the actions they take, they live and teach by the principles and practices they believe in and value. " ~ Debbie Miller, page 4
So why read this book? Why do this book study? I've been teaching for 10 years now and I have systems and routines that work for me. When I really thought about my classroom philosophy, I realized I wrote that paper in grad school and my interview response is riddled with buzzwords. I had not actually sat down and written down my current beliefs and values.
"We're professionals, we need to make full use of our professional autonomy." In other words, by studying what the research says and pin-pointing our values and forming opinions about what we believe as teachers, we can engage in academic conversations with colleagues and administration. Many times, we have to prove that we know what we are talking about in order to be taken seriously.
My state adopted a basal reading series program that all schools have to purchase and implement by school year 2015/2016. It's scripted. We all know that the best teaching does not come from the script. Teaching straight from the basal is certainly easier, but is it what all of our kids need? No. Some, yes. But all? Absolutely not. By explicitly exploring our beliefs and values as educators, we can show those in charge that we are professionals and we can be trusted to make good curricular decisions for our students.
On to the discussion questions. Make sure to download the printables above for your journal so you can take notes as you read. I'm going to answer the questions for myself and share my thinking from my journal. Please tell me your thoughts and responses in the comments!
I want someone to feel calm and invited as the walk in my room. I want it to be obvious that kids are learning and working hard. I want them to see the rigor of the work, but also the fun and creativity of the students.
I agree with all of Debbie's beliefs about education.
- Organized, purposeful, and authentic environment – check!
- Choose your words carefully as they affect the children – check!
- Create engaging lessons – check!
- Teach workshops with a model and foster independence – check!
- Use assessment to guide your instruction – check!
- Utilize student choice – check!
- The few I would add:
- Make decisions based on what is best for children, not what is easiest for adults.
- Every child deserves an exquisite education
- What I already do:
- Use a workshop model for Daily 5, Writing, and Math
- Have an organized classroom
- Plan engaging lessons
- Create small groups in reading and math based on assessment results
- Integrate student choice whenever possible
- What I can do better:
- Research math workshop models on Pinterest and fine-tune my routines. Search and read blogs who I know teach with a math workshop model, like Reagan Tunstall.
- Add more student work and less teacher-store posters. Or replace with student-made ones after we learn the concept.
- Choose my words carefully and practice patience.
- Integrate tech for more student engagement and motivation.
- Create a better system for recording formative assessment and teacher observations. Create a conferring notebook and actually use it.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Allan Dodds Frank. [Source: CNN]A CNN correspondent incorrectly suggests that a third skyscraper may have recently collapsed in New York. Reporting from Lower Manhattan, Allan Dodds Frank describes: "[J]ust two or three minutes ago there was yet another collapse or explosion. I'm now out of sight, a Good Samaritan has taken me in on Duane Street. But at a quarter to 11, there was another collapse or explosion following the 10:30 collapse of the second tower. And a firefighter who rushed by us estimated that 50 stories went down. The street filled with smoke. It was like a forest fire roaring down a canyon." [CNN, 9/11/2001] A third tower—the 47-story World Trade Center Building 7—does collapse on this day. It will not come down, however, until 5:20 in the afternoon (see (5:20 p.m.) September 11, 2001).

As mentioned on the Social Media page, CQMS believes that a crucial step in expanding online presence is through setting up business pages on social networks. The process of social media page development is often straightforward; the various networks request information about your business, and it becomes your responsibility to fill them out. Once the page is complete, it can be used to form mass-market outreach, and serve as a point of contact for your customers, and more.
With CQMS, getting your social network page(s) has never been more simple – we will collect the required information from you directly, proof it and optimize it for your target audience before getting your content out to where it needs to be. If your business is looking to get onto multiple networks at once, we offer deep discounts as the information collected for them often has a significant amount of overlap. Contact us to start the process of your social media page creation! We have simple forms to fill in (or can speak to you directly over the phone) before we get to work, but the process moves quickly enough that we can streamline every bit of it from your end.
Delivery of your Social Media Page:
Depending on which platform(s) we're dealing with, the social networks have certain restrictions upon how business pages are administered. In most cases, however, one of us at CQMS must directly connect with your company's intended administrator for the social network page. Once we've finished putting all of the pertinent details together, we will begin the process to name your employee as an administrator. Upon accepting their new role, that member may then modify or update the page as if they'd built it themselves – no restrictions will be placed upon the account.

Republicans control both the House and Senate, but the unified GOP Congress might not last past the midterms. House Republicans are seeing signs that Democrats could take a significant number of House seats in the 2018 elections.
President Trump's approval ratings currently sit in the low 40s — a historic low for this point in a presidency. The GOP Congress, meanwhile, has achieved no major legislative goals in Trump's first 70 days in office.
Questions about Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election and the FBI's investigation into possible collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign continue to cast a shadow over the government and distract from the party's legislative efforts.
Enthusiasm on the left is high, giving Democrats hope that they will fill their coffers and increase voter turnout in special elections such as the nationally watched House special election in Georgia.
I have heard that California is considering a re-call election to replace Nancy Pelosi because her stupid remarks are embarrasing the intelligentcia of that State. Remember – "We had to pass the ACA to find out what was in it". nd some of her other remarks about Trump having "horns" on his head. I predict that a lot of "dyed -in-the-wool" Democrats WILL NOT return to Washington D.C.after their re-election campaign because the voters are dissatisfied with their actions.
The RINO's are going down!! Do not forget!…….
Under Paul Ryan's e/GOP RINO leadership, they funded Obama's muslim RAPEfugee and illegal alien invasion!
Paul Ryan Betrays America: $1.1 Trillion, 2,000-Plus Page Omnibus Bill Funds 'Fundamental Transformation of America'
by STEPHEN K. BANNON & JULIA HAHN -16 Dec 2015
Paul Ryan's first major legislative achievement is a total and complete sell-out of the American people masquerading as an appropriations bill.
(1) Ryan's Omnibus Fully Funds DACA
(2) Ryan's Omnibus Funds Sanctuary Cities
(3) Ryan's Omnibus Funds All Refugee Programs
(4) Ryan's Omnibus Funds All of the Mideast Immigration Programs That Have Been Exploited by Terrorists in Recent Years
(5) Ryan's Omnibus Funds Illegal Alien Resettlement
(6) Ryan's Omnibus Funds the Release of Criminal Aliens
(7) Ryan's Omnibus Quadruples H-2B Foreign Worker Visas
(8) Ryan's Omnibus Funds Tax Credits for Illegal Aliens
(9) Ryan's Omnibus Locks-In Huge Spending Increases
(10) Ryan's Omnibus Fails to Allocate Funds to Complete the 700-Mile Double-Layer Border Fence That Congress Promised the American People
Ryan's omnibus serves a second and equally chilling purpose. By locking in the President's refugee, immigration, and spending priorities, Ryan's bill is designed to keep these fights out of Congress by getting them off the table for good.
Delivering Obama these wins–and pushing these issues beyond the purview of Congress–will suppress public attention to the issues and, in so doing, will boost the candidacy of the Republican establishment's preferred presidential contenders, who favor President Obama's immigration agenda.
>>> The Paul Ryan e/GP RINO leadership was 100% complicit in enabling Obama's treasonous agenda!
The House's biggest problem is their poor leadership. Speaker Ryan seems to have a natural talent for rescuing defeat from the jaws of victory. I don't understand how this guy could have such a hard time understanding what voters expressed on election day. At one time I thought he was a bright and rising star in the Republican Party. His star seems to have lost a lot of its luster.
The unified GOP, what a joke. As long as the Rino's control the GOP they will never be unified. Until they get what it takes to be unified that will never keep the majority in congress for more than 4 years,
Sorry but I see it quite the opposite with more Democrats leaving the Senate. Just because the people have had enough of the dictator style of the Democrats.
If so VETO, VETO, VETO
many people that put president trump in office are horrified about a war in the middle east and with russia.he was going to take down isis but America would not be a world police dept.hes being manipulated .by great people and evil warhawks .even if trumps looses his base .the sovereign individualist and nationalism movements will be many times stronger..socialism is a cancer .soo many people know it now.the elitists globalist tynants are soft marxists .we know this .the congress will be vetted even further into the sovereign individual citizen base on constitutional principles ..the constitution is becoming very cool again..the counter culture is coming on board in a big way .this wasn't just trump .now we have the freedom fever to..i once drank the fake collectivist coolaid.
One reason nothing ever gets done in Congress…
It's the next Election…The next election interferes with what the elected should be spending legislative time on..
If this Nation is waking up to Liberals Negative Governing…Then 2018 will be like 2016 with more Republicans elected to Congress…
Democrats are starting now…Keep America Constitutional – Vote Republican!!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6482782ae4e431e3b786793fed282b2cc779bb5de4080dff11d71aa10db5c429.jpg As long as the Rino's control the GOP less Republicans will be elected in 2018. The nation will be waking up to the fact that the Rino's don't mean to keep what they promised, People are tired of voting for Republicans and then they turn in to being Rino's.
"Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us"
Fool us a third time and you will lose our vote,
I don't believe a word of this article especially the rating. Trump is making headway daily on his promises and he now has the respect of the world and our country is believed again by our allies in the ME and around the world.
Now as to his daughter and that liberal, democrat, Clinton loving and Obama administration loving son-in-law Trump would be wise to get them out of the WH and out of his dealings. They are bringing him down and he best get his old team back.
As to the Democrats getting up again I doubt it, O left everyone behind including the party and they are nothing around the world. They will loose more seats.
Sounds like a FAKE News story to me too.I also don't like that his daughter and son in law are there.I am hoping Trump knows what he is doing.I am also hoping that Republicans aren't dumb enough to sit out the next election and give the DUMB O CRATS a chance at a come back.We must keep them out of our Government and remove as many as possible.
He has to get his family out of the nation's business.
Until Democrats stop wasting time and stalling his appointments , what can he do right now ??? Schumer is his biggest problem next to the leakers running to the media .
He can tell Ivanka and her husband they cannot be a part of his administration because his base is not happy with their ideas and they are detrimental to his presidency. PERIOD.
This little opinion piece is from The Hill, a Democrat propaganda publication. However, if the GOP does not get down to business and perform, and I mean perform conservatively, many people will stay at home in 2018 and the Dems could take the Congress. The GOP does not seem to care.
I'm pretty sure you are very close to the truth.I also believe that was Obama's plan and if they are stupid enough to try then we better be ready to stand up and take them down.Stock up on supplies and be prepared just in case.It will be open season on Muslims.I don't think anybody is really that Ignorant.Better safe than sorry though.
coat your ammo with bacon grease
You left out Clinton and Huma ???? Don't forget the part that the UN played in this
Uhh, The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 is VOID! Stop citing It! The 1965 revision removed ALL the common sense immigration restrictions.
Three Decades of Mass Immigration: The Legacy of the 1965 Immigration Act – By CIS September 1995
Under the old system, admission largely depended upon an immigrant's country of birth. Seventy percent of all immigrant slots were allotted to natives of just three countries — United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany — and went mostly unused, while there were long waiting lists for the small number of visas available to those born in Italy, Greece, Poland, Portugal, and elsewhere in eastern and southern Europe.
The new system eliminated the various nationality criteria, supposedly putting people of all nations on an equal footing for immigration to the United States. The new legislation (P.L. 89 236; 79 Stat. 911; technically, amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952) substituted a system based primarily on family reunification and needed skills.
In the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, President Johnson criticized the old policy at the signing ceremony:
"This system violates the basic principle of American democracy — the principle that values and rewards each man on the basis of his merit as a man. It has been un-American in the highest sense, because it has been untrue to the faith that brought thousands to these shores even before we were a country." (Johnson, Lyndon B., Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1966, pp. 1037-1040.)
Despite the noble words, the architects of the 1965 law did not see it as a means of significantly changing the immigration flow — it was considered more a symbolic act, an extension of civil rights sentiments beyond our borders. Proponents repeatedly denied that the law would lead to a huge and sustained increase in the number of newcomers and become a vehicle for globalizing immigration. Many senators and representatives believed that the new, equal quotas would not be fully used by European, Asian, and Middle Eastern nations. In addition, they did not foresee the expansion of non-quota admissions (those not covered by numerical limits) under the act's strengthened provisions for family reunification.
The unexpected result has been one of the greatest waves of immigration in the nation's history — more than 18 million legal immigrants since the law's passage, over triple the number admitted during the previous 30 years, as well as uncountable millions of illegal immigrants. And the new immigrants are more likely to stay (rather than return home after a time) than those who came around the turn of the century. Moreover, this new, enlarged immigration flow came from countries in Asia and Latin America which heretofore had sent few of their sons and daughters to the United States. And finally, although the average level of education of immigrants has increased somewhat over the past 30 years, the negative gap between their education and that of native-born Americans has increased significantly, creating a mismatch between newcomers and the needs of a modern, high-tech economy.
This paper offers a brief overview of the issues relating to the anniversary, including quotes from many of the participants, as well as an outline of the law's consequences.
The liberalization of immigration policy reflected in the 1965 legislation can be understood as part of the evolutionary trend in federal policy after World War II to end legal discrimination based on race and ethnicity — essentially, the immigration bill was mainly seen as an extension of the civil rights movement, and a symbolic one at that, expected to bring few changes in its wake.
In 1957, Congress passed the first civil rights law since Reconstruction, another in 1960, and two important bills in 1964 and 1965. Moreover, Supreme Court decisions and state and local laws also struck at the remnants of legal racism. The immigration bill was merely another step in this process.
The connection between civil rights legislation and abolishing the national origins quotas was explicit. As Rep. Philip Burton (D-CA) said in Congress:
"Just as we sought to eliminate discrimination in our land through the Civil Rights Act, today we seek by phasing out the national origins quota system to eliminate discrimination in immigration to this nation composed of the descendants of immigrants." (Congressional Record, Aug. 25, 1965, p. 21783.)
And Rep. Robert Sweeney (D-OH) said:
"Mr. Chairman, I would consider the amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act to be as important as the landmark legislation of this Congress relating to the Civil Rights Act. The central purpose of the administration's immigration bill is to once again undo discrimination and to revise the standards by which we choose potential Americans in order to be fairer to them and which will certainly be more beneficial to us." (Congressional Record, Aug. 25, 1965, p. 21765.)
Other politicians also thought the immigration law needed to be changed. Much earlier, President Truman, in the message accompanying his (unsuccessful) veto of the 1952 McCarran-Walter Act (which had maintained the national origins quota system), wrote:
"These are only a few examples of the absurdity, the cruelty of carrying over into this year of 1952 the isolationist limitations of our 1924 law. In no other realm of our national life are we so hampered and stultified by the dead hand of the past, as we are in this field of immigration." (Truman, Harry S., Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1961, pp. 443-444.)
In 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower declared to Congress:
"I again urge the liberalization of some of our restrictions upon immigration…we should double the 154,000 quota immigrants … we should make special provisions for the absorption of many thousands of persons who are refugees." (Eisenhower, Dwight D., Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1961, pp. 308-310.)
President John F. Kennedy's immigration message to Congress on July 23, 1963, assailed the national origins quota system as having "no basis in either logic or reason." He complained,
"It neither satisfies a national need nor accomplishes an international purpose. In an age of interdependence among nations, such a system is an anachronism for it discriminates among applicants for admission into the United States on the basis of the accident of birth." (Kennedy, John F., Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1964, pp. 594-597.)
Foreign policy concerns also motivated some to support change in the national origins system. With the decolonization of Africa and Asia, and with ongoing competition with the Soviet Union for the hearts and minds of the developing world, the quota system was seen as an embarrassment. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, for instance, said the existing immigration law stood in contrast to the growth of refugee legislation aimed at forming international linkages and having "the respect of people all around the world." (Congressional Record, June 27, 1952, p. 8267.)
Others favored a change in the law for more personal reasons — they had relatives who were on long immigration waiting lists because of small quotas for their countries. Italy, for instance, had an annual quota of 5,666 immigrants, Greece 308, Poland 6,488, Yugoslavia 942, and so on. Joseph Errigo, National Chairman of the Sons of Italy Committee on Immigration, was upset at the small size of Italy's quota and urged Congress to "abolish a system which is gradually becoming unpopular and inoperative." Italy had 249,583 people waiting for admission into the United States. (U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965, p. 407.)
The Hart-Celler Act of 1965:
Established the basic structure of today's immigration law.
Abolished the national origins quota system (originally established in 1921 and most recently modified in 1952), while attempting to keep immigration to a manageable level. Family reunification became the cornerstone of U.S. immigration policy.
Allocated 170,000 visas to countries in the Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 to countries in the Western Hemisphere. This increased the annual ceiling on immigrants from 150,000 to 290,000. Each Eastern-Hemisphere country was allowed an allotment of 20,000 visas, while in the Western Hemisphere there was no per-country limit. This was the first time any numerical limitation had been placed on immigration from the Western Hemisphere. Non-quota immigrants and immediate relatives (i.e., spouses, minor children, and parents of U.S. citizens over the age of 21) were not to be counted as part of either the hemispheric or country ceiling.
For the first time, gave higher preference to the relatives of American citizens and permanent resident aliens than to applicants with special job skills. The preference system for visa admissions detailed in the law (modified in 1990) was as follows:
Unmarried adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizens.
Spouses and children and unmarried sons and daughters of permanent resident aliens.
Members of the professions and scientists and artists of exceptional ability.
Married children of U.S. citizens.
Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens over age twenty-one.
Skilled and unskilled workers in occupations for which there is insufficient labor supply.
Refugees given conditional entry or adjustment — chiefly people from Communist countries and the Middle East.
Applicants not entitled to preceding preferences — i.e., everyone else.
All those polls concerning Trump Admin. have been so accurate too. I'm sure they are spot on now.(sarc)
The poll numbers don't really mean anything anymore. We need to consider the source and the polling questions to determine the credibility of the data. The old media outlets seem to think if they say something long enough it will become true. The conservative public is smarter then the old media outlets give them credit for. As long as they report the Republicans are struggling the harder we conservative base will work to overcome their talking points. Lying will create effort, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. We do not want to go back to Obama ANYTHING…..
If the republicans lose the house the blame rest solidly on the RINOs shoulders.
Anyone voting for a Democrat should be placed in a mental institution.
My thoughts exactly. Let's get rid of the dem residue and then begin to go after the rinos. Draining the swamp isn't President Trump's job alone; the voters are the ones who put the idiot dems in there to begin with. This may take awhile until we see some real change.
All caring informed American's must never back down when faced with the destructive comments from a leftist Democrat. Stand your ground and argue the facts and you'll always win.
They will lose more seats wait and see. Nothing they have tried has panned out and the violence they have participated in has gone viral to the world. They are going nowhere but down.
Down the slide to the fire pit . Many media people need to join them .

Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!! Fraud Alert!!
They moderate our posts and let this crap go through ??
Mainly now after Finding out how bad Obama screwed up in Syria with Russia and Iran . Why would anyone vote for a democrat other than free stuff from the Gov. ???
It appears that 51% of the population does that already!
If they keep with the hatred , it just might drive up the percentage to 70% . They are already starting the ANTI voter ID Laws for 2018 .
What a lot of people are just now finding out is that O'Bama and his group were trying to run this country into bankrupcy making it easy for Muslims to take over and make America a caliphate controlled from Iran. That is why Hillary Clinton was planning to remove the Second Amendment from the Constitution because it interrferred with her plans for "Gun Control"..
The UN is behind the Gun Control and the Democrats kiss their fannies .Just look at what is going on in South America right now .
F%$#in RINO's like Paul Ryan are Democrats with training wheels!
If the Republicans don't get done what they have promised to get done, they why keep them? Obamacare has to repealed and replaced. Illegal immigration must be fixed. The same crap happened the last time we elected Republicans to run the house, senate, and WH. The House and Senate became afraid to do what they promised and got beat in the next election. If they don't have the guts to do what they were elected to do, then get rid of them.
So…you are advocating replacing them with dimocrats again? That would win a record for dumb.
I am saying they turn into Democrats and if they give in – get rid of them and hire new Republicans.
Agreed. I didn't think you could possibly mean to elect dems again!
REPEAL YES – Replace NO . Time to clamp down on the Insurance monopoly and their games they play .
I think we need some kind of affordable health care system available. I do not agree with making it mandatory. People should be able to purchase only what coverages they want.
No argument there , that's what was in my last part of my comment .
Sorry I didn't get that part. What I received ended with the sentence about clamping down of insurance companies
Health insurance is sold the same way car Insurance . It is based on where you live and the type of policy you can have . Restrictions need to be removed if they were from the Government Then prices can fall .
Obamacare dictates what coverages you must have. There is no option. Men are forced to pay for maternity coverage and women are forced to pay for ED meds is one example of how terrible Obamacare is. People should be able to cross state lines also. Prescription med prices need to be negotiated also.
The ACA has affected all of us even though we do not have that insurance . That is why a total repeal is needed .
The Hill. Now, they've proven themselves really reliable, haven't they? Just last week announcing that the nuclear option was a rare occurrence, in spite of Harry Weed invoking it 96 times during his cursed tenure.
Spot on as usual Ramon! That rule has only been effect since 2003, the filibuster, to block Bush lower court appointees, but that's another fun fact that the MSM and the Dems would rather us not know.
More than one jurist appointed to SCOTUS has been on an up or down vote.
The Hill another left leaning publication, rolling out more hyperbole based on so called Trump favorability polls. The only people on the left that are jazzed are the far left whack-a-doos and the Soros funded protesters. On the other hand, the Democrats not residing in Washington DC and the Coastal Regions of the United States, aren't buying into this insane, out of touch nonsense being pushed by the leadership and that includes the destructive nature of these so-called protesters. Any Democrat that runs a campaign of anger and obstruction without anything substantive with regard to the issues, is mort before any vote is cast.
We'll be seeing a lot of these articles written over the next year and a half, so sit back and have a laugh at the sycophants expense in the media,

Heliocentrics - Interview with Gilles Peterson
Click here for interview....
Just came across this interview with the Heliocentrics band, also aired on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Show from Radio 1/BBC on 7th Februray 2007. The Heliocentrics album was one of my faourite albums from last year. Amazing beats in a psycadelic style....
Click here for Heliocentric Band Website
Quote from Stones Throw's Artist Website...."A listen to a song or two reveals no small influence from the funk universe of James Brown. But there's also the disorienting asymmetry of Sun Ra's music. The cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone. The sublime fusion of David Axelrod. But the Heliocentrics' music isn't retro. It's brand new. And it's timeless. They have well-placed fans in the likes of Madlib (Catto was featured on his Shades of Blue album and on various Yesterdays New Quintet releases) and DJ Shadow (the band backed him on the song "This Time I'm Gonna Do It My Way" from his The Outsider album), who will tell you that this band is really the next shit but that they have the consistency and musicianship that seems to have been lost somewhere in the analog to digital shuffle over the past thirty years".

New details from the Washington Post confirm that President Trump's first full federal budget proposal includes a cut of 13.5% ($9.2 billion) to the U.S. Department of Education as signaled in the so-called "skinny budget" outline released back in mid-March.
That outline called for eliminating the $2.1 billion (Title II) grant program for teacher and principal recruitment and development and a $1.2 billion 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant program that supports after-school and summer programs.
Emerging reports indicate the following specific cuts will also be proposed to federal K-12 education programs:
- ESSA Title IV Student support and academic enrichment grants – cut $400 million to eliminate all federal funding for these grants
- Funding for career and technical education – cut $196 million (15%)
- Arts in education programs – cut $27 million and eliminate program
- Funding for gifted and talented programs – cut $12 million and eliminate programs
- Promise neighborhoods – cut $13 million
- Special Olympics education programs – cut $12 million and eliminate programs
- Funding for Native Hawaiian education – cut $33 million and eliminate program
- Funding for Alaska Native education – cut $32 million and eliminate program
Interestingly, the cuts to federal grants for career and technical education are being proposed at the same time Congress is moving to reauthorize the Carl Perkins Career and Technical Education Act. (See previous post.)
In another interesting move, the Trump Administration is apparently proposing no funding for a new Student Support and Academic Enrichment grant program created in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Congress, with bipartisan support had authorized as much as $1.65 billion for the grants, and had approved $400 million for these grants in the 2017 federal spending year, which ends on Sept. 30., but the administration's budget for the grants in fiscal 2018 is zero.
These grants are meant to help schools to: a) provide all students with access to a well-rounded education (e.g., Advanced Placement Courses, science, technology, engineering, arts, math, music and computer science instruction, etc.); b) improve school conditions for student learning (e.g., mental health services, anti-bullying initiatives, more physical education, etc.); and c) improve the use of educational technology to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students. They were funded at $400 million in federal spending year 2017.
These cuts may help clear the way for the Trump Administration's plan to provide an additional $400 million in proposed spending on Charter Schools, up 50% over current funding levels and a new $250 million federal investment in "Education Innovation and Research Grants," which would apparently be used to fund expanding and studying the impacts of vouchers for private and religious schools. Based on news reports to date, it is unclear how much of this $250 million would be spent on research and how much, if any, might be spent on vouchers themselves.
The Trump Administration will also propose re-allocating $1 billion in Title I dollars meant for low-income children to a new grant program—called Furthering Options for Children to Unlock Success or FOCUS—for school districts that agree to allow students to choose which public school they wish to attend—and allow those students to take their federal state and local dollars with them. The apparent goal of this new program is to do away with neighborhood attendance zones that the Administration argues trap needy kids in struggling schools.
The full federal budget proposal is scheduled for release next week (May 23) and is reportedly close to being finalized, covers the 2018 federal fiscal year, which begins on Oct. 1.
