On Monday, July 10, Milford School District Board of Education voted to lower the school tax portion of their property rates by 7.6 percent. The reduced rate was approved despite significant cuts to state district funding after legislators eliminated a $400 million budget deficit to balance the state budget in early July.
Effective this year, homeowners in Sussex County will pay $4.9841 per $100 of assessed value while Kent County will pay $1.7636 per assessed value. Because Kent County properties have been assessed more recently than Sussex County, the state uses a formula to equalize rates for school taxes. There has not been a property assessment in Sussex County since 1974.
"It is important to remember that property taxes are based on assessed value, not resale value of your home," Sara Croce, Chief Financial Officer, said. "The equalization of the rates between Kent and Sussex County means homes of equal value in each county pay the same tax rate, even though the actual rate seems higher."
The new rate means that a home with an assessed value of $29,250 in Kent County could see a decrease in property tax of $42.15, while a home assessed at $114,456 could see a drop of $164.93. In Sussex County, a home assessed at $10,350 would see the same $42.15 drop while one assessed at $40,500 would see the same $164.93 decrease.
During the board meeting, Ms. Croce also explained how the decrease in school funding would affect Milford School District. "The reduction to Milford School District alone was $771,790.87," Ms. Croce explained. "The legislators did not allow us to add a match tax to recover any of those costs and they cannot be recovered through property taxes. We will need to make some adjustments and cuts to the budget in order to balance it for the upcoming year."
Dr. Kevin Dickerson, Superintendent, said that the district was looking at many different ways to reduce costs in order to balance the budget for the upcoming year. He said that some of the changes made throughout the year were what allowed the district to lower property taxes slightly this year. In previous meetings, Dr. Dickerson has said that he plans to establish a committee to determine whether the old Milford Middle School building could be renovated for a special needs school in order to keep even more students with special needs in the district.
"We will be holding a special meeting on Thursday, July 20 at Milford Central Academy," Dr. Dickerson said. "The meeting will begin at 6 PM with an Executive Session and then we will reconvene into a regular meeting at 7 PM. At this meeting, we will present our methods for balancing the budget with the significant cuts we are facing for the upcoming year."
In 2016, the district increased property taxes significantly due to unexpectedly high tuition costs the year before. Tuition costs are fees paid for services provided outside of the district for special needs children. Although the state pays 70 percent of those tuition costs, the district must pay the additional 30 percent. Ms. Croce explained at the time of the increase that the district's share to place one student in a residential facility due to their educational needs was $100,000.
"With the increase last year, we were able to create a contingency fund that we did not have before," Ms. Croce explained. "We were caught off guard the year before and we had no funds put away to cover those unexpected costs. We have worked to create programs so more students can remain in the district, reducing our costs. Unfortunately, we do not know if some of the districts will now pass along their loss in state funding to us. State law allows them to not only charge us for added costs this year, but go back two years and present us with those costs. That is what happened last year. We saw increases of over 30 percent in some cases."
The district was also able to lower their debt reduction tax rate by taking a more aggressive approach using Kent County Impact Fees. Although using the fees did not lower the district's debt, it allowed them to lower property tax rates.
"I see that you have been able to decrease our taxes slightly," Peter Carpenter said. "However, last year we saw an increase in some cases of over 50 percent. This is just a small fraction of what our taxes increased last year. We need to be able to see where cuts are being made and how the district will manage the recent cuts so that an increase like that never happens again." David Markowitz agreed, telling the board that he would like to see actual numbers of teacher and administrator positions cut from the district budget to reduce costs.
Dr. Dickerson said that the district was considering reallocating positions or cashing out administrative positions in an effort to lower expenses. Ms. Croce explained that they considered some cuts to the Academic Excellence program but that could lead to the loss of funding in other areas that were connected to the Academic Excellence program.
In addition to the cuts to the district, state legislators also reduced the Senior Property Tax Credit that can be used to lower the property tax owed by senior citizens. Previously, seniors could apply to lower their property tax rate by 50 percent or $500, whichever was higher. This year, the credit was reduced to 50 percent or $400. School Board President Renate Wiley emphasized that this was not something the district could do anything about.
"Seniors who were getting that credit may not see as big a reduction," Ms. Wiley explained. "The $100 deduction could make a difference. I wish there was something we could do about it, but there is nothing we can do."
The district was pleased that the district would still only pay 10 percent of transportation costs as there were proposals to change the amount the district would have to pay to 15 or 20 percent. In addition, the deductions to public schools were lowered when charter schools were also included in the formula that determines how much state funding will be removed from district budgets.
"I want to thank the board and the staff for the work they have done to put this all together," Jennifer Cinnelli-Miller said. "They have provided us with information all throughout this process and I commend them for that. I want to say that I was at the budget hearings at Legislative Hall. It was me, Ron Evans and Sara Croce. That's it. The tourism people were in the faces of legislators and they were fully funded, but education was cut. Grant-In-Aid were in their faces and, although they did suffer some cuts, they were funded. Police officers, firefighters, correctional officers were all there in full force. But there were only three of us there from Milford. We need to stop sitting back and thinking our legislators are going to do this on their own. We need to step up and let them know these massive cuts to education are not acceptable. Until we do, this will continue to happen until there is no funding for public education. Let's make our voices heard."

HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Three men from Detroit were arrested for allegedly stealing a set of tires from a Dodge Charger in Harrison Township and then leading police on a chase.
Kamauri Kennedy, 24, Ventrous Stewart, 22, and John Williams-Tait, 23, were arrested and charged with larceny from a motor vehicle along with fleeing and resisting arrest.
Sheriff Deputies received a call from a resident who saw the men steal tires from the car parked inside the Harrison Cove Condominiums before climbing into their car and driving off on Jefferson.
Deputies responded and attempted to stop the car when a chase ensued onto I-94.
Eventually, stop-sticks were used to flatten the tires on the fleeing car near 12 Mile Road.
The men then fled on foot and police from St. Clair Shores and Roseville helped deputies catch all three suspects.
One suspect resisted and was subdued with a stun-gun, police say.
The set of stolen wheels and tires were recovered.
All three men were arraigned at the 41-B District Court of Clinton Township and bond was set at $10,000 each.

renewal and responsibility
The G House in Brussels, Belgium, is an amazing architectural feat in respect and modernization of an old house in the historic center. With three floors, it was originally built in 1907 by architects and J. François Kielbaey L'Anvre.
The renewal was the responsibility of the architectural and interior design Dwek Olivier, who without altering the basis of this majestic location, managed to change and freshen her face almost completely. The family home remained the elements that make it a majestic, classical: moldings, cornices, fireplaces and intricate contours of its windows. As with many works of Olivier Dwer in this language that speaks of the past and present, local traditions, art, modernity and minimalism is also conjugates.
White, perfectly mixed with gray tones, makes the walls are another decorative element that does not obscure the exquisite furnishings. Nor the works of art that are part of the owner's private collection. The staircase in forged metal, was preserved and a strong black, contrasts as a sculpture inside the house, marking an architectural episode and serving as an emblem of tradition that prevails in this building from the early twentieth century.

Seven days. That's one more Thursday, one more Friday, one more Saturday, one more Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and one more Wednesday. Then it is all over. Just typing these words caused my eyes to well up with tears. I was given 52 of each of those days, and I cannot believe I am down to my last ones.
In the fall of 2009 an idea popped into my head. I began to toss it around and eventually became brave enough to share it with Chris. We shared it with a few others in the summer of 2011. Then I let it fade away, because it didn't seem possible. But the idea didn't die. It kept resurfacing, and I had a choice to make. And the choice wasn't would I bring my children to live in Ikaria for a year or stay in America. The choice was do I follow a dream or do I regret not following it?
I don't like regret. So I went for it. With all of the support and love of my husband, I moved the children 5000 miles away and stepped back in time to live in Ikaria. (Beautiful, beautiful Ikaria.) Friends and relatives alike questioned our decision. Many wondered if Chris and I were having marital problems, and some thought we'd never make it here the whole year. Those from Ikaria thought we were crazy, and they often thought they misunderstood what I said. ("You mean you are living in Athens for a year, not Ikaria, right?") But we weren't, and we did, and we aren't. And now that it is over, I know that we made the right choice.
My children came to Greece knowing almost no Greek and are leaving as fairly fluent speakers. They lived without fast food, malls, and movie theaters, in exchange for connecting with a village, swimming in the sea, and playing outside unsupervised. They experienced cultural differences and similarities, and they faced situations where they knew nothing going in but came out the other side successful in one way or another. The education they received didn't come solely from the 6 hours they spent daily in the school or the 2 hours learning afterward. It came from their interactions with their teachers, their classmates, their cousins and relatives, the yiayias and papous of the village, the store owners, and each other. Their lives have been enriched in more ways than I ever could have imagined.
We were also given a gift this year–completely unexpected and unpredicted, We received the gift of time. In America I work. I cook and clean. I shop and run errands, and I taxi the kids from place to place daily. I talk on the phone and text. I go out with my friends and away with my husband. I rush from place to place and event to event. I didn't do that here. For an entire year I did nothing other than give my attention to my children. We ate dinner together every. single. night. Three hundred forty-eight days and counting. We played games. We went on hikes. We held hands as we walked down to the platia. We cleaned together and folded laundry together. We watched Little House on the Prairie and a documentary on Elmo. We sat by the fire and read. We visited new places and explored the area around us. We talked about what we missed in America, and we cried together when we ached too much. We gave lots of hugs, and we even fought now and again. And one of our favorite things was that almost every night we gathered in the bedroom and I read to them. Children grow quickly and the time we have with them is only a fraction of their lives. I am so thankful that I was given this year with my kids in a way I wouldn't have had , had we spent the past year at home.
Is it any wonder that I can't bring myself to think about packing or leaving? It's not that I don't miss my family and friends. I do! And it's not that I can wait for the four of us to be reunited with Chris–I can't! It's just that I had a dream that I didn't know if ever would come true, but it did. And I was able to live it. And I loved it. And I am just not ready to see it end. A year sounds like a very long time. But 52 weeks fly right by.

District Calendars
Current School Year
Projected Last Day of School for 2020-2021: June 7, 2021
Grades K-11: If weather or other emergencies require the closing of school, the lost days will be made up by extending the school year in June up to 7 days. If additional days are needed, they will be taken from the 2021 Spring Recess, beginning April 12.
Graduation Date
The State of Connecticut has passed a new law regarding school attendance. Boards of Education can now allow high school seniors to graduate on a set date without needing to make-up inclement weather days (or other unforeseen school closings). The Glastonbury Board of Education will set the Class of 2021 Graduation date. The graduation date will not be adjusted based on "snow" days. We hope this helps our families with travel and celebration planning.
Note: This does not apply to other grade levels. The last day of school for other grade levels will continue to be extended due to school closings for weather and other emergencies.
Calendars are posted as soon as they have been approved by the Board of Education. Please see future school year calendars below. You may also click here for information on Early Release Days in the district.

Drywall and Suspended Ceilings
If you're hanging drywall in a room where you plan on installing a dropped ceiling, you may have thought, "What's the point of drywalling all the way up the wall?" The answer is fire blocking. You have to have that to keep fires from spreading quickly through your house, and drywall qualifies. The good news, if you were hoping to cut costs by not drywalling that last foot or two, is that drywall isn't the only material you can use for fire blocking; it's one of many.
That means if you have fire blocking you can leave the top portions of the walls unfinished. . . unless your local building code says differently. As with any facet of a remodeling project, make sure your plans meets the safety standards of your local jurisdiction before proceeding.

Philosophical Letters
Philosophical Letters
There are two things the Philosophical Letters can do for twentieth-century people besides amuse them. One is to introduce them (and for this purpose it is as good as any book I know) to the eighteenth century and to those two complementary strains of what, in our deadly provincialism, we call the Western Mind: the French and the English genius. The other is to remind them that there is hope for men because they have it in their power to be reasonable.
Professional philosophy the book is not; it is, however, a collection of critical reports by a philosophe of the Age of Reason--that is, a rational observer and free-thinking moralist --interested in the human meaning of all thought and action. The separate letters or chapters are written more or less as if to a friend in France (Nicolas Claude Thieriot), and the book first appeared, in an English translation by John Lockman, as Letters Concerning the English Nation (London, 1733). Voltaire himself referred to it often enough as the "English Letters," but it was as Lettres Philosophiques, with an additional letter on Pascal, that the book, on June 10, 1734, was condemned by the Parlement of Paris to be lacerated and burnt by the hangman, as "likely to inspire a license of thought most dangerous to religion and civil order." The true work of Voltaire had begun, and our lives are different because of it.
We think of Voltaire as having been, even in his cradle, a wit, a poet, a freely discursive mind. In the story of Ninon de Lenclos' leaving him 2,000 écus to buy books with, nothing is more interesting than that when she died, in 1705, he was no more than eleven years old. He was young enough when introduced into the urbane and hedonistic society of the Temple; at twenty-five he was famous as a tragic poet, the author of another Oedipus. Ambitious, inquisitive, always busy, he was . . .

But according to "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran, while you don't want to see uninterested, you don't want to appear overly excited either!

Creating command-line tool in Swift
This question comes up often on Swift mailing lists. Once you learn Swift, you'll get addicted and want to use it everywhere. It's not quite as straightforward writing a script in Swift as it is in python or bash. However, there are lots of benefits.
- It's a great entry point into learning Swift for those that typically write scripts rather than applications
- You want to execute a bunch of shell commands, but you can use Swift's rich data structures, straightforward programming language, and the huge Cocoa API.
Here's what you can do:
- Launch Xcode
- File > New > ProjectChoose macOS
- Click on Command Line Tool
- Name it and save the project
- Click on main.swift in the sidebar
- Replace the Hello, World line with this code.

struct Shell {
func stripWhitespace(_ inString: String) -> String {

,,A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning." This is what Math teacher, Sally Ahmad, thrives to accomplish through her work as a teacher. Most of her students come from Syria, who have fallen behind in school and have missed school for years due to the war.
For her, teaching is more than a job. It is rewarding because she can see the outcome of the love, and passion she put into it with her students. Sally has been part of the 'Back To The Future' project since February of this year. Her love for children and teaching made her apply for the project.
Sally teaches math to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. She says: ,,this is a crucial stage for children, it's not just about studying. Children at this age are still absorbing from their surroundings, so we need to be role models for them, guide them and be there when they need us."
In her classroom, the atmosphere is fun, and interactive. She creates a safe environment for the children where everyone feels appreciated. The project means a lot for her, as she says: ,,The project is very important, especially for the children. It helps and supports students. It gives them a sense of belonging and importance in the community when they see that there are people who care about them and want them to succeed."
Sally noticed great improvement with students since the last semester. They interact in the classroom and are more comfortable, and confident.
The major education initiative 'Back to the Future' will reach over 21,400 Syrian, Jordanian and Lebanese children. The initiative sees AVSI, Terre des Hommes Italia, Terre des Hommes Netherlands and War Child – with the support of the European Union EU Madad Fund – address the learning needs of children from both refugee and host communities in Lebanon and Jordan. The coalition project brings learning opportunities to children who have been denied access to formal education. Teachers are playing a vital role in the project's success.

Edinburgh dog owners warned after men in van use 'a whistle to call dogs over' in Portobello #PetTheftReform
Dog owners in Edinburgh have been warned to "be on the lookout" amidst fears of dog snatchers near Leith and Portobello.
Dog walkers spotted two men acting suspiciously in a van, thought to be a white Mercedes Sprinter, in the Seafield area near Portobello last week.
The men reportedly used "a whistle to call dogs over" – in what could be an attempt to steal dogs that are not on a lead.
Ref Brzęczyszczykiewicz, who alerted owners and walks his own dogs in the area, said: "Please be on the lookout and keep yourself and your doggies safe.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, he added: "We are preparing laminated leaflets to attach all over Portobello and surrounding areas."
Last week a family pet was snatched from Newhaven near Leith when its owner was subjected to an "appalling" attack.
Police are hunting the culprits but the female Shih Tzu West Highland terrier cross, named Eccles, is yet to be traced.

text: I leaned over the railing, looked down into the shallows, and couldn't help but notice that rays of reflected light, bouncing off the surface, and those of transmitted light playing among irregularities within the creek bed, interacted chaotically to give the impression that the surface of the water was tessellated. The effect was mesmerizing. I was surprised to learn, many years ago, that the verb mesmerize was derived from the name of the German physician Franz Mesmer who believed that magnetic energies moved freely between the living and the nonliving. It was the balance between and among these energies that Mesmer believed he could adjust (via the act of mesmerization) and thereby restore good health to his patients. The human expression of these forces was called Animal Magnetism. Perhaps, if I had tarried at the railing, the effects of mesmerization might have been realized. As it was the spell was broken by the call of afternoon chores … the animals needed to be fed as did the wood stove, our only source of heat at this time of year.

This year the 7th Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival is bringing over a thousand children and young people to Vienna. They are coming from each and every continent to share their music and their cultures and to take part in the competition. On 7th and 8th July 2013, selected orchestras will perform at MuTh as part of the SCL Festival.
The Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival is organised by VIA MUSICA (the Vienna International Association for Music and Culture Exchange). This is its seventh year, and it will take place from 6th to 10th July 2013. In its first year there were two principal desires expressed for the Festival. And to date, these two aims have been achieved time and time again: to provide a platform which offers unique performance opportunities to the world's most talented choirs, bands and orchestras; and to set new standards in the world of festivals.
Much has been done since then, and every year the SCL Festival has not relaxed its constant efforts to maintain the the high standard of the organising committee, the jury and especially of the festival participants.
Although it is currently held over just four days, the SCL Festival is a continuous project which aims to facilitate unique experiences every year. For this reason, the artistic programme is modified annually – whether to celebrate the anniversary of a famous composer, or to focus on a particular musical theme. Furthermore, each year new and exciting concert venues in and around Vienna are added to the Festival – for example, this year's performance locations include MuTh, the home of the Vienna Boys' Choir.
In the years since its inception, the SCL Festival has won broad support from the Austrian public as well as from numerous national and international decision-makers in the fields of politics and culture. In addition, close relationships have been established with foreign Embassies and international organisations. This enables us to make our participants welcome in an atmosphere which is truly international.
Finally, the real focus of the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival is as follows: to create an environment in which young musicians from around the world can interact at an international level and build bridges between themselves.

I have to sneak in this non job-related, non tv-related post.
Big, Huge, Enormous kudos to my Oldest Stepson, and BOTH of my own boys for their respective baseball championships. The older 2 played on the same 14-U team and my little one played on the 10-U team.
All three boys have come alive with their baseball prowess this year and all three were great team players and very intstrumental in their teams' successes.
Both games were pretty close games with the 10-U game going 2 extra innings.
It was exciting baseball.
And Guess What....I took pictures....

New Zealand's Forgotten World Highway
From the Kiwi Annison archives:
In deepest North Island, not far from the steep volcanic slopes of Mt. Taranaki, there is a road that leads you through isolated hills, wild landscapes and past pioneering monuments.
The Forgotten World Highway, otherwise known as State Highway 43, is 150km of winding road leading from Stratford, near the Egmont National Park, to Taumarunui in the Central Plateau.
Soak up some of New Zealand's social history
From the Kiwi Annison Archives….
I have a new project at work, and I love it.
As part of my Communications role at Mystery Creek Events Centre, I am to help promote the wonderful Ag Heritage Village; a fantastic destination for school and group visits which offers a unique glimpse into New Zealand's pioneering past.
I find this kind of social history absolutely fascinating, a fact you may have gathered if you are one of my regular blog readers!

Revised Double Taxation Avoidance and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion (DTAA) Agreement signed today between India and Cyprus
A revised Agreement between India and Cyprus for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal evasion (DTAA) with respect to taxes on income, along with its Protocol, was signed today in Nicosia, which will replace the existing DTAA that was signed by two countries on 13th June 1994. The Protocol was signed by Mr. Ravi Bangar, High Commissioner of India to Cyprus on behalf of India and Mr. Harris Georgiades, the Minister of Finance on behalf of Cyprus.
New DTAA provides for source based taxation of capital gains arising from alienation of shares, instead of residence based taxation provided under the existing DTAA. However, a grandfathering clause has been provided for investments made prior to 1st April, 2017, in respect of which capital gains would continue to be taxed in the country of which taxpayer is a resident.
The new Agreement provides for Assistance between the two countries for collection of taxes. The new Agreement also updates the provisions related to Exchange of Information to accepted international standards, which will enable exchange of banking information and allow the use of such information for purposes other than taxation with the prior approval of the Competent Authorities of the country providing the information. The new Agreement expands the scope of 'permanent establishment' and reduces the tax rate on royalty in the country from which payments are made to 10% from the existing rate of 15%, in line with the tax rate under Indian tax laws. It also updates the text of other provisions in accordance with the international standards and consistent policy of India in respect of tax treaties.
Provisions of new DTAA will enter into force after the completion of necessary internal procedures in both countries and is expected to come into effect in India in respect of income derived in fiscal years beginning on or after 1st April, 2017.
Reaction quote on India-Cyprus treaty development from Ravi Mehta, Partner, Grant Thornton India LLP –
"The re-negotiation of the India-Cyprus treaty is a decisive and welcome move, which would facilitate the avowed object of bringing stability to the tax regime. Cyprus, also being part of EU, had been one of the key jurisdictions, apart from Mauritius and Singapore, for FDI into India until it got classified as an NJA by the Indian Government.
The agreement on exchange of information, including banking information, for purposes other than taxation and co-operation on collection of taxes will not only facilitate removal of Cyprus from the NJA list but also support the Government's agenda of curbing black money, money laundering and tax avoidance.
Like the Mauritian development, the introduction of taxing rights on Capital gains in India under the Cyprus treaty may impact the foreign flows from this jurisdiction, at least in the near term, and may also prompt the existing investors to go back to the drawing board to reframe their current structures."
Reaction quote on the India-Cyprus treaty development from Manoj Purohit, Director, Grant Thornton Advisory Private Limited.
"The renegotiated India-Cyprus tax treaty is part of an on-going effort by the present government to curb treaty abuse, tax evasion, and round-tripping of funds and is effective from 1st April 2017. Grandfathering of investments till 31st March 2017 is a welcome step and would give the investors a window for smooth transitioning of his investments. However the present press release is silent on the retrospective withdrawal of the NJA Notification issued earlier and therefore one needs to adhere to all the compliances till the official mechanism to initiate the relaxation is put in place."

Okay, to tell the truth, leaked images have been on the web for a bit now, but I held off on posting those here since they were clearly marked as confidential. Some of the 2012 City sets are already available, and Warren Elsmore picked up set 4440 at an official LEGO store by Washington DC (I don't know if he meant the Tysons Corner store or the Potomac Mills store). That set is exciting enough, as it has some really interesting new elements, but the relevance to this blog is that the instructions include images advertising the January release of the DC minifig sets. So, with no further delay, let's take a look. 6858 Batman vs. Catwoman and 6863 Batman vs. the Joker at $12 and $30 (US, according to the previously released information on Barnes and Noble). The first is pretty much a rehash of set 7779 from the original Batman theme. It's a cheap way to get the Batman and Catwoman figs, but other than that there's nothing special here. 6863, again, pretty much reprises the older set 7782. There's a better Joker fig, to be sure, but otherwise I'm disappointed that they didn't really improve on the Batwing design.
6862 Superman vs. Lex Luthor at $20. Now THIS is by far the most exciting thing in the line (assuming you already have some of the Batman sets from the previous line). You get three key new figs, including Wonder Woman (I was wondering where she was going to fit in) at a pretty cheap price. Lex Luthor's mecha seems pretty okay, though I'm sure any AFOL worth the bricks could easily improve on the design. I know that this is supposed to be Lex's warsuit, but my kids have been watching Megamind lately, so I just keep thinking of that big mech.
6864 Batman vs. Two Face at $50. Again, pretty much a rehash of 7781, just $20 more expensive. I'll want to see a better picture, but it looks as if the Batmobile is even a pretty similar design, which is fairly lazy of LEGO given how many different versions of the world's coolest car we've seen from different Batman comics, movies and TV shows.
6860 the Batcave at $70. I've previously looked at this. While we had a Batcave, at least this new one is not a complete copy in the way that the Catwoman, Joker and Two-Face sets are. This is more compact (and cheaper), with a couple of different play elements, and different villains (though this raises the question of the absence of the Penguin in this initial run of sets).
So, that's the first run of minifig sets. I have to say I'm underwhelmed. I know, most kids don't already have the full run of sets from 2006, but couldn't LEGO have reimagined them at least a little bit? Yes, I recognize that if you're going to commit to having a Batman-heavy line, you then pretty much have to have many of the same villains and you're pretty much required to have a Batmobile, Batwing and Batcave. That said, though, we've seen so many different iterations of these in different Batman media outlets that they could have come up with very different looking sets, or even mixed up the villains. E.g. why not have Batman chasing the Joker in the car set and Two Face in the plane set, or whatever? As noted above, the most exciting set for me (again, going on the assumption that you already have at least a couple of the Batman sets from before) is the Superman/Luthor/Wonder Woman set, as this has three completely new characters, and the mecha is at least a fun idea. BTW, no Green Lantern? I assume that he's not just a ComicCon giveaway and we'll see him in the next run of sets. I also assume that the next run of sets will again be Batman-centric, as in one of the early articles mentioned that LEGO would release sets in conjunction with the next Batman movie, so at least we'll probably get a different version of the Batmobile. Oh, here's a close-up shot of the mecha in the overall view of the page from the 4440 instructions. So, what do you guys think of the new line?

Firstly, happy halloween! Actually I don't celebrate halloween, but I chose a pair of red colored contact lenses to say that I'm celebrating halloween haha!
I realised I had lots of 'first times' with Duffy Beau, my first purple lenses, my first green lenses, my first kimchi lenses, my first i.fairy lenses and now my first red lens. ♥ Duffy Beau was one of my first few sponsors ever, and I've been with them for quite a few months now! They sponsored me even when my blog was kind of noob and not as established yet - when my photos are blur, reviews are less helpful and not so detailed, etc - and I'm glad they stayed with me the whole time and now that I've improved! ^^ Thank you so much!!! Here are all the past reviews that I've done for them, you can see that I was really quite bad at the reviews then.
Yes, this is my first pair of red lenses! Was kind of scared and excited when I first tried it on!
Many many red hearts in my lenses!!!! ^^ Tell me, who doesn't feel like trying this pair of lenses? The hearts are just too cute to resist!
Lens details:
Diameter : 17mm
Water Content: 45%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Lifespan : 1 Year
Photos in different lightings - bright, moderate, and dim.
Comfort: 5/5 – Comfy as ever!!! :D
Enlarging: 5/5 – I'm not sure if its exactly 17mm, but definitely plus minus 16mm and its big enough!!!
Design: 4/5 – I really liked the design, cute little hearts around my pupils. Plus it comes with the usual black limbal ring which is really essential in circle lenses!
Color: 3/5 – The red color is not as scary as I expected it to be. In fact, it looked quite pleasant still. Safe enough to wear out on normal days and I don't think anyone will get a heart attack on looking at your eyes! Only problem is that the color is not very visible under dim lighting! :(
Last photo of me wearing them! Really doesn't make me look scary ya???
You can start ordering your lenses between 1 Nov - 9 Nov with Duffy Beau! :D

Should endangered languages be "saved"? submitted by Blacque to AskVoat

If by saving them you mean recording them then yes. I don't think it's necessary to have a culture to speak it though. Just have it on record for a historical insight on how a certain group spoke.

Smells a little like a great way for certain individuals to get alot of karma. I wonder why people would want to get karma on a sub with a minimum CCP requirement to downvote?

This seems to be voat's first real argument. People on one side don't want horrible subs affecting this place and the other side wants free speech for everyone regardless of how bad they are. I can see and respect both sides of the argument. I'm not really quite sure where I stand on this right now...

Royally Yours: Week in Review
- Updated: June 14, 2016
The Royals had a rough week losing four of six games. They were swept by the Orioles in Baltimore and won their series in Chicago over the weekend. The Royals offense struggled but started to get hot later in the week. The Royals had a combined six home runs in their series against the White Sox. Despite losing the majority of their games last week the Royals are still two games over .500 and in second place in the American League Central.
The Cleveland Indians are still leading the American League Central and the Royals are tied with the Tigers for second in the Division. The Royals are one and a half games ahead of the White Sox and 13 games ahead of the Twins. The Royals will have an opportunity to overtake the Indians when they play a three game series at home this week.
The Royals losing streak last week was caused by a lack of offense and pitching woes. The Royals only scored two runs in their three games series against the Orioles. The Royals pitching staff also struggled last week. In their four losses, the Royals pitching staff gave up an average of six runs per game. The Royals played better over the weekend. Danny Duffy and Yordano Ventura, the Saturday and Sunday starters both had 10 strikeouts and had a combined 0.69 ERA.
Whit Merrifield has been one of the most consistent players for the Royals so far this season. He has his safely in 18 of his first 20 games. He has a batting average of .305 and nine doubles this season. Merrifield has been one of the most surprising players for the Royals this season and his consistency has helped the Royals during their offensive struggles.
The Royals made news last week when they were involved in a brawl with the Baltimore Orioles. Yordano Ventura hit Manny Machado in the back with a 99 mph fastball. Machado charged the mound and started a fight with Ventura. Both players were suspended for their involvement in the brawl. Major League Baseball suspended Ventura for nine games and was fined an undisclosed amount. Ventura is appealing the suspension.
Next week the Royals will play two series at home against divisional rivals. The Royals will begin their home stand when they play a three game series against division leading Cleveland Indians. The Royals will face Josh Tomlin on Tuesday. Tomlin has been one of the best American League pitchers this season and has an 8-1 record so far this season. The Royals weekend series will be against the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers have a dangerous lineup, which can be one of the best offenses in baseball when they are hot. It will be a big week for the Royals and the American League Central standings. If the Royals play well they can move into first and get quality wins over divisional opponents.

Tulsa Roach Control
When you are looking for the best roach control Tulsa has to offer, you can count on Midwest Pest Control. We know that no one likes to see roaches and it doesn't matter if they are tiny, or large, they are downright gross.
Contact Us Today to Set up Your Service!
We offer the best Roach Extermination Services available because we have been helping home owners and businesses fight off these nasty little critters for years. We can protect your kitchen, and other parts of your home. When you are looking for help with your roach control needs in Tulsa, please call us. We would be happy to give you a free quote. Call today!
What to Expect
If we treat your home for Cockroaches, we will need your help to eliminate the cockroach problem. Because you are an important part of removing these pests, it is crucial that you understand how the process works. Given that most roaches have an extremely rapid life cycle, a combination of innovative products must be used to break down this cycle. A mixture of Suspend (residual control), Nyguard (integrated growth regulator), and Exiter (contact killer/flushing agent) are key ingredients for maximum control. Although these products will begin working right away, the flushing agents in the products may increase roach activity for a short period.
Another application 30-60 days later will also be necessary to exterminate any recently- hatched eggs and to eliminate the remaining population. The growth regulator contained in the pesticide will keep the roaches from reaching maturity, making reproduction impossible. For this reason, it is not uncommon to see more juvenile roaches than before. An alternative food source called Advion Roach Gel may also be used as a bait to eliminate surviving roaches. It is imperative that the house be immaculately clean. Roaches prefer leftover food to the bait that we put out. Keeping your home free of any food source is crucial for our success.
Families with young children or pets may want to hire an exterminator, because our professionals at Midwest Pest Control know how to keep pets and children safe when using poisons and traps. Exterminators are trained in order to rid a home of pests. A beneficial reason for hiring an exterminator is to learn how to keep pests from invading your home for good by repairing and sealing the home.

About Him
Grew up... as a flightless angel. Despite having a pair of wings, Pit was born without the ability to fly on his own. So he must depend on the divine intervention of helpful powerful deities.
Living... in Angel Land. Pit lives in a mythical place where humans, gods, angels, and demons must all co-exist. As an angel, Skyworld is his primary domain, but he frequently travels all over the land.
Profession... Captain of Palutena's Army. Pit leads the centurions, the personal warriors of Palutena, the Goddess of Light. With their skills and weaponry, including Pit's trusty light bow, they maintain peace and justice throughout Angel Land. As he says, "I'm not an intern. I'm a messenger of the gods!"
Interests… serving his Goddess. Beyond simply being her employee, Pit is completely devoted to his Goddess Palutena. He literally worships her, and keeping her safe and happy is his purpose in life. In return, she grants him the limited power of flight.
Relationship Status... single. Pit's devotion to Palutena trumps any potential romantic relationships he might otherwise pursue, and their bond is a curious one. Sometimes he is like her son, other times they tease each other like close friends or siblings, and occasionally things even get a little flirty.
Challenge... defeating the Underworld Army. The Underworld Army and its leaders, Medusa and Hades, are by far the biggest threat to the innocent citizens of Angel Land. So whenever these evildoers attack the surface, Pit flies into action to stop them.
Personality... plucky. Pit is a strong and brave warrior, especially when considering his limitations. But even during his most perilous missions, he never stops being chipper. His enthusiastic wisecracks sometimes annoy friends and foes alike, but he doesn't care.

United States District Court, D. Utah
August 25, 2017
CEDRIC GREENE, Plaintiff,v.FLORITTA GRAY, Defendant.
J. Furse Magistrate Judge.
se Plaintiff Cedric Greene brought this action seeking
damages from his landlord, Defendant Floritta Gray, arising
from alleged violations of California state law. (Docket No.
3). The court referred this matter to Magistrate Judge Evelyn
J. Furse pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). (Docket
No. 7). On July 14, 2017, Magistrate Judge Furse entered a
Report and Recommendation, recommending that Plaintiff's
civil action be dismissed for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction and improper venue. (Docket No. 10). On July 18,
2017, Magistrate Judge Furse entered a second Report and
Recommendation, recommending that Plaintiff be declared a
vexatious litigant and that the court place certain
restrictions on his ability to file any future pleadings in
this District. (Docket No. 11). Both reports informed
Plaintiff of his right to object within fourteen days of
service. On July 31, 2017, Plaintiff filed an Objection.
(Docket No. 12).
In his
Objection, Plaintiff makes arguments regarding his convoluted
interactions with other jurisdictions and his status as an
"unrestricted free agent" for purposes of
jurisdiction and venue. (Id. at 2). The court
concludes that these arguments are ultimately undecipherable
from a legal standpoint and raise no cognizable objection to
the Magistrate Judge's reports. In essence, Plaintiff
simply repeats his grievances with other jurisdictions that
have dismissed his actions and declared him a vexatious
litigant. This does not state a viable objection to the
Magistrate Judge's well-reasoned and thorough reports.
Because Plaintiff has not identified any legal or evidentiary
issue that might call into question the reasoning or
conclusions of Judge Furse, his objections fail to preserve
any such issue for de novo review. See United States v.
One Parcel of Real Property, 73 F.3d 1057, 1060 (10th
Cir. 1996) ("[A] party's objection to the
magistrate judge's report and recommendation must be both
timely and specific to preserve an issue for de novo
review by the district court." (emphasis added));
Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3) (indicating that the district court
need only conduct de novo review for any issue "that
has been properly objected to"). Where, as here, no
viable objection has been filed, the court need only satisfy
itself that there is no clear error on the face of Judge
Furse's reports. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3)
(1983 adv. comm. note). The court finds no clear error and
therefore adopts Judge Furse's reports in full. Even a
de novo review of the record, the relevant legal
authorities, and Judge Fur s e's analysis reveals no
short, the court agrees with Judge Furse that Plaintiff has
utterly failed to state a basis for subject matter
jurisdiction or proper venue in this court. Given his history
of improper and sometimes entirely baseless litigation both
in this District and in other federal courts, the court
further agrees with Judge Furse that Plaintiff should be
identified as a vexatious litigant and that restrictions on
his ability to file new cases should be imposed as outlined
in the report and recommendation.[1]
If his
claims are to be dismissed from this court, Plaintiff
requests in the alternative that this court transfer his
action to a Utah state court for adjudication. The court
denies this request. As Judge Furse rightly explained, no
such authority to transfer is vested in federal courts.
See McLaughlin v. Arco Polymers, Inc., 721 F.2d 426,
428-29 (3d Cir. 1983); Xie v. Univ. of Utah, No.
2:04-cv-00864-TC, 2006 WL 753003, at *2 (D. Utah Mar. 22,
2006) (unpublished).
careful de novo review of the relevant authorities,
Plaintiff's Objection, and the record, the court
concludes as follows:
Plaintiff's objection (Docket No. 12) is hereby
Having reviewed the Magistrate Judge's Reports (Docket
Nos. 10, 11), the court hereby ADOPTS the
reports and accompanying recommendations in full.
3) As
recommended by the Magistrate Judge, the above-captioned
action is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice
for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and improper venue.
4) As
recommended by the Magistrate Judge, the court hereby imposes
on Cedric Greene the filing restrictions outlined in the
Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation. (Docket No.
11, at 2). Those restrictions are as follows:
a. Any new complaints sent to the court by Mr. Greene for
filing will be collected by the Clerk of Court and sent to
the Magistrate Judge for review;
b. The Magistrate Judge will review the complaint to
determine whether it is meritorious, duplicative, or
c. If the Magistrate Judge determines that the complaint is
without merit, duplicative, or frivolous, the Magistrate
Judge will forward the complaint to the ...

Barve Nagar MPS is a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) English medium school in Mumbai. The school has both, primary and secondary sections. The total strength is about 500 students with 13 teachers. There are a sizeable number of first generation learners in the school. Mr Sanjay Chavan has been the Principal of the secondary section school for around five years. He began his journey of ISLI Fellowship in 2018.
Challenge faced by the School Leader
Like most BMC schools in Mumbai, the School Leader, Mr Chavan also faces a challenge of irregularities in student attendance, partially due to less invested parents. Though what is unacceptable for the School Leader is that even though the school is an English medium school, most students weren't able to read or write in English. The School Leader decided to tackle the issue head-on with support from ISLI.
ISLI Intervention
Post the introduction of ISLI's School Improvement and Development Plan (SIDP) template in the workshop, the ISLI Programme Manager and the School Leader had a discussion on how they could customise it to the BMC context. The BMC schools are expected to track student performance on 25 aspects like reading, writing, addition, subtraction, cleanliness, etc. Out of which the School Leader picked improvement in reading levels as one focus area based on the data highlighted for grade 3 students. During the in-school support, ISLI Programme Manager and School Leader brainstormed on the SIDP, identified strategies that can be utilised, assigned specific timelines to it, and discussed on how the grade 3 language teacher can monitor the progress.
School Leader, Mr Sanjay Chavan - Principal of the secondary section school
Steps taken
The School Leader did one-on-one conversations with the teacher to check for any challenges that she was facing and visited her classroom to check for progress in reading levels of the students. Even while creating the plan, the principal probed the teacher for ideas for improving the reading levels rather than imposing his own ideas.
Impact on teachers and students
The goal was to improve the reading level of at least 75% of the students in grade 3. By the end of the planned period, 80% of the students in grade 3 could read their grade level textbook. The class teacher and the language teacher worked together to implement the strategies in the classroom (flashcard reading, phonics, group work for reading, etc.). Both the School Leader and the teachers noticed that focusing on one aspect and creating an action plan with specific action steps and timelines leads to promising results.
Next steps
Post the analysis of the student's end term results, the School Leader realised that the project was so successful. He encouraged every teacher in the school to create a plan for the next year with a focus area relevant to their classroom.


text: ORIGINAL ARTICLE: PDF OnlySteenland Kyle PhD; Thun, Michael MD, MSJournal of Occupational Medicine: February 1986 - p 110-118 Buy Abstract The nature of the interaction between smoking of occupational exposure is controversaial. in part because of lack of agreement on the definition of interaction and in part becaue of the searcity of adequate epidemiologic data. Occupational investigators have assessed interaction primarily as a departure from an additive rather than from a multiplicative model of realtive risks (or rate ratios). To determine whether smoking modifies the effect of occupational lung carcinogens, the literature was reviewed for the only our established occupational lung carcinogens for which there are data on smjoking; radion daughters, asbestos, arsenic, and chloromethyl ethers. Wehre possible, departure was assessed from both an additive (syngergism) and a multiplicative model (effect modification). Only nine studies were considred to have sufficient ample size and to provide sufficient information on tobacco use and occupational exposure to evaluate interaction. The existing data were contradictory for three of the agents studied; as bestos, radon daughters, and arsenic. Inconclusive or contradictory fidnings may result from small sample size or lack of comparability of the level of occupational or tobacco exposure. It is noteworthy that, for these four agents, whenever smoking did modify the effect of occupatioanl exposure, the lung cancer rate ratio was greater for nonsmokers (compared to nonexposed smokers). However, with the exception of chloromethykl ethers, absolute lung cancer rates were higher for smokers than nonsmokers, regardless of occupational exposure. ©1986 The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine

Nike promised more stores like Nike by Melrose in Los Angeles, and another one arrived in New York City yesterday (15 November) – but with a Big Apple twist.
The six-storey, 68,000 sq ft shop on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street includes one floor dedicated to the local community, where – using online shopping data analysis – footwear and apparel products are stocked based on local shopping trends, and then quickly restocked as the taste of customers evolves.
Nike calls its new New York City store the 'House of Innovation 000', and says the space must be able to "communicate with its city through people and digital services, inviting a conversation that's synchronised to the customer."
Other features in the store include in-store lockers, where NikePlus members can reserve items via phone and have them stored, ready for pick-up whenever is convenient to the customer.
To mark the store's opening, the new Nike shop features two maker's studios, which enable shoppers to customise their products with their own choice of laces, fabrics, and more – effectively giving them a chance to build their own footwear.
Lots of one-to-one customer service opportunities are provided, which can be booked via the Nike app. NikePlus members, for example, can partner with a brand expert to find the right item, and then customise the product further – Nike says this might be an ideal approach for finding suitable running shoes, for example.
Fast changing and digitally-enabled
Meanwhile, the tiles on the 'Arena' area of the store can be rearranged to host new spaces and configurations; the idea being that Nike can change store design and layout to move with the times, or to incorporate special events.
In a clear push to reward loyal customers and build a community-like feel around the brand, NikePlus members can use the 'Member Unlocks' and 'Scan to Try' features of the app upon entering the store to request items to be brought to them for a quick fitting. A 'Shop The Look' feature enables customers to scan a code on an in-store mannequin, browse online every item the mannequin is dressed in, and check to see if specific sizes are available before requesting those items are sent to a fitting room.
There is also a Nike Instant Checkout, which allows customers to scan and pay using their app. These self-service payment stations are positioned throughout Nike NYC, and encourage shoppers to bag their purchase and go.

Binoculars Waterproof Long
West Marine Raiatea Waterproof 7 X 50 Center-Focus Binocular
How to Choose the Best Birding Binoculars
Optics workers will tell you they are often asked to recommend the best binocular for birders (bird watchers) To match the binocular to the birder it helps to first look at the needs of the birding enthusiast.
What sort of optical demands must we consider? Well for one thing the birder need to see details like the patterns and color of feathers, often in dim light such as under a tree canopy or in twilight. They need good magnification so that they can easily identify birds at a distance and sometimes they will want to observe birds at very short distances so they want their binoculars to work for close focus observing too, maybe even down to just a few meters.
They need true color viewing so they can see everything as it really is colored and not with any tint or false color. They also need a reasonable field of view so they can observe birds in flight easily and be able to pick birds out from the surrounding trees.
They want the binoculars to be light enough to carry and hang on a neck-strap. Their binoculars should be light enough to hold comfortably for viewing and easy enough on the eyes to be able to use for long periods. Birders usually want their binoculars to be compact enough to pack in a rucksack. For observing from hides they often want to use their binoculars on a tripod or mono-pod so a fitting for these adapters is advisable. If their bird watching is in the wilderness then rugged construction and some element of waterproofing and fog-proofing is also advisable.
When looking at binocular specifications we usually pay most attention to the two numbers that define the basic specifications. The first number gives us the magnification factor, so an 8x binocular magnifies an image (brings it closer) by 8 times. The higher the magnification the more difficult it becomes to use the binoculars effectively due to the natural hand-shake which makes it difficult to keep the bird in view and also the smaller the field of view will be. For birding use, an 8x binocular is the most commonly used though in some circumstances enthusiasts will use higher magnification.
The second number in the specs tells us the diameter of the objective lens. This is important for two reasons, firstly the larger the diameter the more light is captured by the binocular so the clearer and brighter the resulting image. Secondly, the larger diameter also gives a larger field of view. In the birding world, the most popular objectives are 40mm and 42mm. Getting much higher than this makes the binocular a little too heavy and large.
Other important considerations are the quality of the lenses and prisms and the optical coatings used on those elements. These coatings reduce loss of light through reflection from the binocular and its internal components and they help to preserve good clarity and true color throughput. As a rule of thumb look for Fully-Multi-Coated (FMC) coatings for bird watching use. The specification for eye relief refers to the distance between the eyepiece and the eye. Those who wear glasses will need a longer eye relief to allow for the extra distance caused by the glasses being between the binocular and their eye.
Roof and Porro Prism designs refer to the two body styles of binoculars. This difference comes about through the placement of the internal prisms within the binocular body. Roof prism types are the more compact and modern looking. Their objective lenses are more or less in line with the eyepieces, while porro prism types are the traditional style with the lenses stepped out from the line of the eyepieces. More and more birding enthusiasts are now opting for the roof prism type particularly as their quality has caught up with the porro types in recent years.
