Our activities programme facilitates team building and teaches confidence, responsibility and time management. It serves to create a balance and break from academic study and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Students discover their strengths, learn people skills, develop their self-esteem, and of course, have fun.
Activities take place after classes on school day afternoons, and throughout the weekend.
Many of our activities are organised in a club system. All are open to both day and boarding students. Boarding students are required to take part in a minimum number of activity credits per week, depending on their age group.
Model United Nations
As a part of the extracurricular activity programme, we have a Model United Nations society, the Montana MUN (MMUN). The MMUN meets on a weekly basis, attends international conferences in - among other places - Paris, Berlin and in the UN buildings in Geneva, and annually hosts its own MUN conference. It educates students about global affairs and raises awareness of current issues. Through optional attendance of international MUN conferences our students form international connections and enhance their international experience. The MUN programme is also an excellent preparation for university, enhancing students' skills in presentation, argumentation and debate.
Further information about Montana Model United Nations you can find here www.imzmun.ch
The economic education programme "Entrepreneurship" gives students practical insight into the entrepreneurial mind-set. The activity is coached by Patrick Suter who teaches the subjects of economics and law. In class, the group has looked at successful Start-Ups and Entrepreneurs and brainstormed their own start-up ideas. The winner-idea was an online tutoring platform called «LEARN&EARN», for which the group is creating a business-plan. Read the experiences of our Entrepreneurship-students in this detailed article from our Montana Blatt.
Sports & Outdoor Activities
Our activities team organises a variety of on and off campus activities attuned to the season.
Students take advantage of our gym, football pitch, beach volleyball and tennis courts, ice rink, basketball court and fitness rooms.
Depending on snow conditions, the Zugerberg serves as an excellent location for cross-country skiing, sledging and beginner skiing/snowboarding. Every winter weekend, our students also have the opportunity to go skiing/snowboarding in larger resorts. Ski and snowboard equipment rental and professional tuition for beginners and intermediates is organised as required.
In warmer seasons students can often be found mountain biking, rock climbing, swimming in the lake, taking part in survival expeditions or hiking.
Our school teams take part in a variety of interschool competitions, such as those of the SGIS, in team and individual sports.
Arts & Culture
Arts and cultural activities often take centre stage at our school. Students can take part in school theatre and musical productions and we offer classes and individual lessons in dance, digital photography, a variety of instruments and singing.
We profit from the vast cultural and artistic offer of Zug, Zurich and Lucerne on regular weekend trips, including visits to museums, concerts and ballet performances. We also host concerts by external artists.
We encourage students to take part in our community service programme. We work together with multiple charities in the region, and also offer opportunities for service on campus.
Students in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme are required to engage in community service as part of the CAS requirement. While their commitments must be self-initiated, our CAS coordinator supports their projects in coming to fruition and becoming meaningful experiences.

"What? You're still here?"
I can't tell you how often we're asked this question. It is a difficult question to answer. Initially, our goal was to leave July 31st, 2006. Several target dates have come and gone since then. The pace of fund-raising has changed radically — several times, and we have grown to a whole new acceptance of who is doing the planning. The closest to a leading from the Lord we have right now is July 31st, 2007. Perhaps we had the right date to begin with and just got the year wrong. Certainly, if God provides we'll be happy to leave sooner. 🙂
While God is at work in many ways preparing for our departure (transforming our hearts, teaching us new skills, growing us as believers, etc), a significant piece of the puzzle remains your partnership. For that reason, I would encourage you to skip over to the "How Can I Help?" section of the FAQ.

Your Website should Open Quickly
One of the important things that you need to consider is the download speed that your website takes. Most of the popular search engines have already set specific rules on the size of the websites. Thus, it is important to adhere to the rules in order to get excellent results.

Generate Traffic with Social Media Sites
Sharing your articles on popular social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Twitter will generate more traffic to your website. This is an excellent medium to give boost to your business.
Building High Quality Links
This is probably the most important part of SEO tools. When you place your website's link to other sites it paves way for better traffic. By applying this strategy, your site will draw in more readers which will automatically improve page ranks.
In conclusion, by applying the above mentioned techniques you will see improvement in page ranking as well your business will get maximum revenues and turn-over.

Mumbai: Rising for the fourth straight session, the Sensex and Nifty closed near five-month highs today on widespread buying even as telecom stocks tumbled after Reliance Jio announced new tariff plans.
Shares of consumer durables, banking, finance, oil and gas, industrial and capital goods sectors posted a robust show, while telecom, teck and IT ended in the red.
Brokers said long positions built up by participants, including foreign funds, and covering-up of short positions ahead of February month's derivatives expiry on Thursday added to the momentum.
The 30-share Sensex resumed higher at 28,716.70 and hovered between 28,801.00 and 28,597.33 before ending at a five-month closing high of 28,761.59, showing a gain of 100.01 points or 0.35 percent. The gauge had last ended at 28,773.13 on September 22, 2016.
The index had gained 506.02 points in the previous three sessions.
The NSE 50-share Nifty also rose by 28.65 points or 0.32 percent to close above the 8,900-level after five months at 8,907.85. The Nifty had last closed at 8,952.50 on September 8, 2016.
"Markets opened on a positive note but slipped into the negative territory, only to recoup losses in the latter half of the trading session," said Karthikraj Lakshmanan, Senior Fund Manager – Equities, BNP Paribas Mutual Fund.
Bharti Airtel was the worst performer in the 30-share Sensex pack, while the S&P BSE Telecom index fell the most among BSE sectoral indices after RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani unveiled Reliance Jio's new voice and data offers, including 20 percent more data than any rival from April 1.
Reliance Jio will continue to offer free voice calls and national roaming post April 1, when its promotional free voice and data offer ends, he added.
Axis Bank surged 4.99 percent on reports of merger with another private lender, which the bank has denied.
Select steel stocks rose after the government yesterday extended anti-dumping duty on import of certain steel products from China for five years with an aim to protect domestic players from cheap shipments.
Major gainers were Jindal Saw, Jindal Steel and Power and Maharashtra Seamless, rising up to 9.59 percent.
Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) sold shares worth a net Rs 433.38 crore yesterday, as per provisional data.
Globally, other Asian stock markets were mixed as investors awaited minutes from the US Federal Reserve's latest meeting and Wall Street prepared to reopen after a three-day weekend.
Japan's Nikkei ended 0.68 percent higher, Shanghai's Composite Index rose 0.41 percent while Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed 0.76 percent lower.
European markets were trading mixed in early deals with Frankfurt up 0.40 percent and Paris rising 0.07 percent. London's FTSE fell 0.29 percent.

27nov14 Enemies
Enemies are good. They are GREAT TEACHERS, if you let them be. Plus they teach you more about Jesus. I have always been a bleeding heart. When I was a kid, and they came out with BLACK Friday, I assumed it in honor of what happened to the good and kind indians AFTER the thanksgiving feast with their future enemies.
Enemies and invaders are bad. God, however, says that all things work together for the GOOD of those who love HIM. Romans 8-28
Habakuk (translated THE HUGGED ONE ) is famous for his verse in the Bible, telling us to Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. The key word I thought was write. Write the vision, and then other people could see what you are thinking and take off with it. Boy am I wrong. Habakuk in his warm and fuzzy, hugged state, asked God for help. So God said, ok,I will send the Caldeans. (the caldeans made the vikings and the huns look like pansies). So God fixed the situation by sending enemies to kill plunder and destroy.. WONDERFUL,! said Habakuk under his breath!! I am positive that was not what Habakuk had in mind. That was the vision that Habakuk wrote about, however, so the people that read it could RUN!
Look at Israel today. Amazing. God did help, through the enemies. The same enemies of Israel MADE Israel. The good news of Jesus was spread through people like Nero, Atila, Mao Tse-Tung etc. by christians running for their lives, with Jesus in their hearts. Without enemies, they would all be huddled in little holy places and no one else would get a chance to be saved. Plus they would have eventually probably on each other and kill each other off cause that is what human beings tend to do.
The kids we work with have many enemies. We think it is bad to have one or two enemies. The street children are constantly going at it with everyone. IF you love them, eventually you will not be their enemy. But it takes YEARS to gain their confidence, and REAL LOVE.
God will turn the badness of enemies into a blessing. Sun Tzu in the Art of War (an OCS mandatory read), said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Jesus took it up a notch and said to LOVE THEM! Paul broke all records when he said in Romans 12-20 "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head." Man, if we teach these kids to love Jesus AND their enemies, they can be successful at anything in life.
So I am thankful for my enemies (usually), God hugs, (often in the form of sheep bites) AND the hugs from the beautiful kids en la chureca. And also for the lesson. RUN! Guard your heart with your feet if necessary., God has a plan. And He is ALWAYS good, and RIGHT!

Ted Cruz and The Queen
I'll be joined today by would-be GOP nominee Senator Ted Cruz after spending the morning promoting on The Queen many radio shows including my pal Mark Davis and Bill Flynn, and Salem's only lefty Democrat Mark Larson:
I may work a few plugs into my remote broadcast from Disneyland as well. The Cruz interview:
HH: I'm talking now with United States Senator Ted Cruz. Senator Cruz, welcome, it's a gloomy day. I'm at the world's happiest place, and you're happy because A Time For Truth is on the bestseller list of the New York Times. Congratulations on that. But our country's got to wake up. This is a serious problem.
TC: Hugh, you're exactly right. It is good to be with you, but this is a time of crisis in America. And all of us, our prayers are with the families of those four Marines who were shot by a radical Islamic terrorist yesterday. And we need to acknowledge the threat that we're facing, and we need a commander-in-chief who will lead, who will stop trying to make deals with radical Islamic terrorists like the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran, but instead will acknowledge what it is we're facing. You know, it was really a shame to see the President refer to this terrorist as a "lone gunman." He misunderstands the nature of the enemy. And in today's world through social media, ISIS and al Qaeda and al-Shabaab and radical Islamic terrorism throughout the world is all interwoven and interlinked. But we will not defeat radical Islamic terrorism so long as the president of the United States refuses even to utter those words.
HH: Now Senator Cruz, in the first and obvious question comes from these facts. Yesterday, Chattanooga, 2010, a Virginia recruitment center was attacked. 2009, an Arkansas recruitment center was attacked. 2008, a recruitment center in New York City was bombed. Should our Marines, sailors, soldiers, Coast Guardmen, Air Forcemen be armed at their recruitment center?
TC: Absolutely, our soldiers should retain their 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. I have, for over a year now, been calling for public hearing in the Senate Armed Services committee on preserving and protecting the right to keep and bear arms of our soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines. And indeed in the wake of this shooting, it underscores the need that it is my hope that the Senate Armed Services Committee will conduct hearings, and that we will change the policies so that military commanders are not forcing our young men and women who are serving our nation to be defenseless against these terrorist attacks.
HH: At the same time, we also have learned that the killer spent 7 months in Jordan last year, and yet was not on our radar screen. His father had been investigated twice and cleared twice, but he went to Jordan for 7 months. Do you think metadata would be a good thing to have on this man right now, now that he know that he was in Jordan for 7 months, he killed four Marines, he wounded three others, including a police officer and two other Marines? Wouldn't we want to be running through the metadata on him right now?
TC: Look, there is no doubt we need to do a better job of connecting the dots and stopping radical Islamic terrorists. It's why my criticism of the Obama administration has been twofold. Number one, they have been woefully ineffective stopping the actual bad guys when we had all of the warning signs and all of the information needed to go after them. So for example, the Tsarnaev brothers, we knew that Russia had told them they had visited with radical Islamists. The FBI went and interviewed them, but then they dropped the ball. And when the elder Tsarnaev brother posted on YouTube a call to jihad, no one was bothering to watch. Likewise, Nidal Hasan in Fort Hood was communicating with Anwar al-Awlaki, a known radical terrorist. He was inquiring about the permissibility of jihad against his fellow soldiers. And yet the administration did nothing. Instead, it seems to focus its attention on the metadata of law abiding citizens, on the emails of law abiding citizens. And the reason, Hugh, is this is not an accidental failing. Because the President won't acknowledge we're fighting radical Islamic terrorists, they will not treat the Tsarnaev and the Nidal Hasan's and the Abdulazeezes any differently than a law abiding citizen, even though this man's father was raising red flags on the terrorist watch list, even though he was traveling to countries that are hotbeds of radical Islamic terrorism. If you don't acknowledge what you're fighting, all of our policies fail to actually combat the real danger.
HH: Now Senator Cruz, I'm not sure, I can't recall if you voted against the collection of metadata or for the ending of it, but if it existed, we could be right now connecting dots with Abdulazeez. Would you fill me in on how you voted on that and whether or not this sort of situation makes you want an even more robust collection of the metadata, not searching of it, but collection of it for days like this on the day after attacks like yesterday's?
TC: Hugh, not only did I vote for the USA Freedom Act, I was an original co-sponsor of it. I agree with the policy. I think it is entirely possible to protect our national security and at the same time respect the 4th Amendment right of law abiding citizens. But what the USA Freedom Act does is it ends the federal government's bulk collection of phone metadata of law abiding citizens, of your phone metadata, of my phone metadata, but it preserves the tools for law enforcement and the National Security Agency to with specific evidence, whether it is an Abdulazeez or a Nidal Hasan or someone else to then get judicial authorization to seize their phone metadata and follow the evidence. And I'll tell you, the National Security Agency told the Senate that they believe the USA Freedom Act will be more effective in tracking down the connections of terrorists than was the existing program.
HH: Okay, we disagree on that, we'll come back to it another time. I want to ask you about the aftermath. After the Charleston shooting by the domestic terrorist who is a white supremacist, a lot of the country's outrage focused, and I think rightly so, on the Confederate flag as the visible expression of a no longer acceptable point of view. And not the government, but public opinion rallied against it. Is there a similar expression out there, do we need to shut down people who are not through government action, but through public opinion, people who are in any way sympathetic to these killers?
TC: Yes, and I think there are three things we can do that I've publicly called on. Number one, holding hearings and changing the policy to protect the 2nd Amendment right of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, they don't forfeit the Bill of Rights when they sign up to serve this country, and that's number one what we can do. The second thing we should do, Hugh, is pass the Expatriate Terrorist Act, which is legislation I've introduced in Congress that says if you go and join radical Islamic terrorists, if you join a terrorist organization against the United States, that you forfeit your United States citizenship. There are right now over 100 Americans who have gone to the Middle East, who have joined up with ISIS. And this danger is coming back to us. They have U.S. passports. And we should change the law so we don't have terrorists with American passports coming back to murder innocent Americans. And then number three, we need to examine seriously our immigration laws to ensure that we are not allowing people like this young man, like this young terrorist who attacked us to exploit our immigration laws and come here to murder Americans.
HH: All right, now I want to ask you a couple of political questions in our minutes left. A story out today that Donald Trump is most cutting into Ted Cruz' people, do you agree with that?
TC: Oh, I'm a big fan of Donald Trump, and I think Donald Trump is certainly attracting a lot of attention, number one, because he's speaking the truth and he's not afraid of Washington, and number two, because he's focusing on illegal immigration. And it's a huge problem. It's something I have been leading the fight for many years. You know, I have to tell you this week that the biggest news I think was that everyone filed their fundraising reports, that out of 16 Republican candidates, our campaign raised the most hard money, $14.3 million dollars. We raised more money than Jeb Bush, because there were 175,000 contributions at www.tedcruz.org. That has Washington terrified, because we have not seen a true, strong, grassroots movement conservative with serious fundraising ability, with serious fundraising support, since 1980, since Ronald Reagan. It really is gratifying that we've seen between the campaign and the superPAC over $52 million dollars raised, because people are fed up with Washington and they want someone to tell them the truth, and to do what he said he would do.
HH: If I can keep you just for one more question, Senator Cruz, I've got to ask you a Disneyland question, because I'm at Disneyland today for the 60th Anniversary celebration of the Happiest Place on Earth. I've got to get a question for Ted Cruz as to what his Disney fix it, his jones at the park, so do not go anywhere, America.
— – – —
HH: Last question, Senator Cruz, I asked this of John Kasich two days ago. I think a lot of Republicans are going to look at those 16 candidates, whether at the big table or the kiddies table in the debate, and no matter whether they switch from one to the other in the course of the fall in the debates, they're going to want to know which of the 16 is best able to beat Hillary Clinton. Why is the answer to that question Ted Cruz?
TC: Because the only way we beat Hillary Clinton is, as Reagan said in 1980, to paint with bold colors and pale pastels. Every time we follow the Washington establishment's advice of going with a moderate, mushy middle candidate, we lose, from Gerald Ford to Bob Dole, to Mitt Romney to John McCain, over and over again, it doesn't work. To win, we need a young, dynamic, positive, optimistic candidate who is, and this is critical, Hugh, a consistent conservative. There are a lot of good people running, people who I like and respect. But no candidate in this race has the record of being a consistent conservative over and over again, a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a national security conservative, across the board, a full spectrum conservative. And as you have noted quite rightly, we need a candidate who can stand on the debate stage with Hillary Clinton and make the case, as Margaret Thatcher said, first you win the argument, then you win the vote. We need to make the case that the Obama-Clinton policies haven't worked, they've made life in America harder and harder, and they have endangered the world and allowed the rise of radical Islam. And we've got to get back to the principles that made America great.
HH: Ted Cruz, thank you. I've got to go check up on my radio producer who is riding It's A Small World for 14 hours today. I don't suppose you have a favorite ride at Disneyland, do you, Senator?
TC: You know, I'm kind of a Space Mountain guy. When I was a teenager, we rode it 18 times in a row and had a lot of fun.
HH: Well, that's kind of a piker compared to Duane, but we'll take that anyway. Senator Ted Cruz, always a pleasure, good to talk to you.
TC: Take care.
End of interview.

Kitchen Ideas / March 4, 2018 /

Essential for the final outlook of the space is also the material for the surface of the island countertop. It may vary from a classical, rustic, wooden style to ultra-modern stainless steel appearance. When choosing the design and material for the countertop you should keep in mind some particularities of the different surfaces. The marble is always gorgeous but can be easily stained. If intensive cooking and chopping is planned- reconsider wood- it can be easily harmed. Solid material that can withstand any cooking activity is granite –it's dark with specific appearance but always can be balanced with appropriate design solutions. Stainless steel and aluminum are always apt choice for contemporary kitchen islands designs.
At this stage, you should decide what your island countertop will be mainly used for –is it dining and a breakfast bar the main purpose of it or food prep will be everyday activity. If the first- stools and cantilevered countertop are basic. If you want to combine both functions deciding the shape of the island can be helpful. Think about it- will it be traditional rectangular island style, or a T or L-shaped island that will help you to create a multi-purpose area. For example, T-shaped islands can be useful for prepping food at one end while seating guests and family at the other.

Today, I was experimenting with RPM. I wanted to created a RPM package from source code that I downloaded from last lab (please look at my previous blog). I downloaded the nano source code(tarball) and started building RPM package with following commands:
yum groupinstall "Fedora Packager"
yum install rpmlint yum-utils
directory and change my current directory to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS and ran this command:
rpmdev-newspec nano
This command creates a "nano.spec" file with the default format of configuration for this file and these configurations should change according to specification in nano. After a lot of searching in documentation of this software and internet (because it was the first time that I was working with RPM), I filled the blank fields like this(my first draft):
Name: nano
Version: 2.2.6
Release: 1%{dist}
Summary: Text editor
Group: Applications
License: GPL
URL: http://www.nano-editor.org/
Source0: http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.0/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
BuildRequires: autoconf, automake, gettext, groff, texinfo, gettext-devel, ncurses-devel
Requires: gcc, install-info
GNU nano is a small, useful, and friendly text editor.
%setup -q
%configure --enable-all
make %{?_smp_mflags}
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%find_lang %{name}
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%doc AUTHORS BUGS COPYING ChangeLog INSTALL NEWS README THANKS TODO doc/faq.html doc/nanorc.sample
Then I checked my "nano.spec" file with this command: rpmlint nano.spec
The result was like this:
nano.spec:6: W: non-standard-group Applications
nano.spec:2: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 1, tab: line 2)
nano.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.0/nano-2.2.6.tar.gz HTTP Error 404: Not Found
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings.
For the first try, it wasn't bad. I fixed these 3 warnings with following solutions:
- I looked at the /usr/share/doc/rpm-*/GROUPS and found that the right standard group for this software is : Application/Editors. So, I changed the Application to Application/Editors like this:"Group: Applications/Editors"
- I found that the url was wrong(misspelling). So, I changed to this: "Source0: http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz"
- For first and second lines, I used tab for spacing and then I figured out that I should use space bar and not tab
I got this error after running this command:
RPM build errors:
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
After looking at nano's documentation, I figured out that I forgot to add some files to spec file. So, I added the following entries under %file macro in "nano.spec" file like this:
After adding these entries, the problem solved and I could create my first RPM package.
ls ../RPMS/x86_64/
nano-2.2.6-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm nano-debuginfo-2.2.6-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm
The next step was testing my package with this command:
rpmlint ../RPMS/x86_64/nano-2.2.6-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm
and I got a long list of warning and errors like this:
nano.x86_64: E: no-changelogname-tag
nano.x86_64: W: invalid-license GPL
nano.x86_64: E: info-dir-file /usr/share/info/dir
nano.x86_64: E: info-files-without-install-info-postin /usr/share/info/dir
nano.x86_64: E: info-files-without-install-info-postun /usr/share/info/dir
nano.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/man/fr/man5/nanorc.5.gz
nano.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/man/fr/man1/nano.1.gz
nano.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/man/fr/man1/rnano.1.gz

nano.x86_64: W: file-not-in-%lang /usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/nano.mo
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 6 errors, 34 warnings.
I started to fix the problems and I could fix all 34 warning and 1 error but I couldn't fix other 5 errors. Here was my solution:
- I found that the GPL is wrong and I changed to GPLv3 in spec file. I worked
- I found that I left the %changelog in spec file alone. In order to keep record of the package's change-history, I should enter the necessary information like this in spec file under %changelog: %changelog
* Sun Jan 16 2011 - Khosro Taraghi <email@example.com> 2.2.6-1
- According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files, "Fedora includes an rpm macro called %find_lang. This macro will locate all of the locale files that belong to your package (by name), and put this list in a file. You can then use that file to include all of the locales. %find_lang should be run in the %install section of your spec file, after all of the files have been installed into the buildroot. The correct syntax for %find_lang is usually: %find_lang %{name} .In some cases, the application may use a different "name" for its locales. You may have to look at the locale files and see what they are named. If they are named myapp.mo, then you will need to pass myapp to %find_lang instead of %{name}. After %find_lang is run, it will generate a file in the active directory (by default, the top level of the source dir). This file will be named based on what you passed as the option to the %find_lang macro. Usually, it will be named %{name}.lang. You should then use this file in the %files list to include the locales detected by %find_lang. To do this, you should include it with the -f parameter to %files." So, I added %find_lang %{name} under %install and %files -f %{name}.lang before %defattr(-,root,root,-) in spec file.
- finally, for UTF8 ,which indicates that the text encoding of the specified file, usually a documentation file, is not in UTF8, I ran this command for those files and added to the tarball before building RPM package: iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf-8 name-of-file > name-of-file.conv && mv -f name-of-file.conv name-of-file
Ooooooh, this lab was so long, but I hope that you enjoyed.

Noticeably, there is little to no cross-cultural analysis of Black queer women artists of the African diaspora in Diaspora, Literary and Theatre and Performance studies. These disciplines tend to focus on geographic locations with an emphasis on the United States, the Caribbean islands and Europe in relation to the African continent. In addition, the work of Black men artists holds precedence in discussions of blackness, diaspora, and performance. Overwhelmingly, the contributions of Black women artists in the diaspora pales in comparison to their male counterparts, especially in number. More drastically, the voices of Black queer women artists actually published are few. Because of these discrepancies within scholarship and practice, I follow the footsteps of the late scholar Gay Wilentz to advocate a diaspora literacy of Black women writers across the diaspora. I employ a transnational feminist approach to survey the work of Sharon Bridgforth and Trey Anthony, two Black queer women artists who explore intersectionality in regards to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and nationality. I also curated and produced Black/Queer/Diaspora/Womyn Festival, a festival of staged readings and panel discussions that placed both artists at the center. This thesis fully details the planning and execution of the festival, an evaluation of the successes and pitfalls of the festival, and then draws conclusions on how both scholars and practitioners can further engage in a diaspora literacy for Black queer women artists.

Family and friends lay to rest the oldest Marine in Colorado
March 29, 2018
About Ralph Boehner
» Born: March 21, 1917, Cawker City, Kan.
» Date he joined the U.S. Marine Corps: May 9, 1942.
» Date he was discharged: Dec. 9, 1958.
» Married: June 14, 1946, to Harriet Richardson.
» Hometowns in Colorado: Keenesburg, then Greeley after retirement.
» Died: Mach 19, 2018.
For a moment on March 28, the sharp crack of gunfire in Sunset Memorial Gardens drowned out the rumble of traffic from nearby U.S. 34 and the frigid, biting wind.
The seven soldiers facing the hardwood coffin and the fellows holding the United States flag aloft in the breeze waited a moment and then fired another round as the crowd of black-clad mourners watched.
It was the 21 Gun Salute in honor of Ralph Boehner, who until his death March 19 was the oldest living Marine in Colorado. Boehner was 100 years old when he died, and was two days shy of his 101st birthday. His funeral service took place at the First United Methodist Church in Greeley, but his interment took the mourners here, to what became Boehner's final resting place.
It was a distinguished end to a life both quiet and remarkable.
Boehner was born March 21, 1917, in Kansas and grew up on a farm there. From the time Boehner was 6, his parents recruited him to help plow the earth on the family farm, said Dick Boehner, his son. He credits that hardworking farming background in part for his father's longevity.
"They all worked so hard when they were young," Dick said. "They had to stay in shape. You got up early, and you were working hard early."

That work ethic served Boehner well in the U.S. Marine Corps, which he joined May 9, 1942. He taught vocational agriculture for a year in Ford, Kan., before that, but the United States' entry into World War II spurred his enlistment. His commitment to his country was a major theme of his life, Dick said.
"He was in love with the country," Boehner's son said. "He believed in the country extraordinarily."
Boehner shipped out of Oakland for the Pacific Theater with 2,000 Marines. He served actively until the mid-1940s, Dick said, but remained in the reserves for more than 10 years.
After the war, Boehner married Harriet Richardson, his college sweetheart. He managed grain elevators in Colorado and Kansas for years before he bought one in 1954 in Keenesburg and put down roots in Weld County. His wife taught at Weld Central High School while he managed the Boehner Mill and Elevator.
His discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps came in 1958. After that, he focused on his family and church, where he taught Sunday school. He ensured his children always attended, Dick said with a laugh.
"He was a German first and a Marine second," Dick said.
Yet Dick said he learned a great deal from his father about integrity and hard work. His family respected his commitment to those values, but other people did, too. Dick met some of them at his father's funeral in Greeley, where he retired with his wife in 1982.
"Dad really had a following; he was just a unique guy," he said. "I heard hundreds of stories this afternoon I'd never heard before."
Those stories were told by the time a soldier knelt next to Dick in the windswept cemetery and offered him the American flag, folded into a triangle, that enshrouded Ralph's coffin. There were tears in Dick's eyes as he stood after the ceremony and carried the flag with him. He's still proud of his father's legacy.
"Everyone in our family felt proud to be a part of his family," he said. ❖

Onk - Dutch Open programmes
This section shows all the Dutch Open (in Dutch: Onk) programmes I have in my collection. The Dutch Open started in 1992, as a way to make racing in Holland more attractive for spectators and riders. From 1992 on, foreign riders could battle for Dutch championship points. Since then, lots of riders from abroad participated in Dutch open rounds. Alan Cathcart was the first foreign rider to become Dutch Open champion. In the menu on the right side of this page you can check which programmes I have for each year from 1992 on.

Rob Mouser, Managing Director of the nationwide surface repair professionals, Plastic Surgeon, explains how even badly damaged uPVC products can be saved from the scrapheap.
Social networking media such as Facebook and Twitter have not only got half the population hooked on detailing their every thought and activity on line, but also provide the commercial world with a new conduit to relay information about their products and services to potential customers.
As a company with a strong track record in the effective use of IT, Plastic Surgeon therefore makes no apologies for embracing these forms of communication.
In order to operate effectively all our Finishers are equipped with hand held computers which we refer to as "Mobile Finishers": enabling them to be allotted assignments and feed back results to the main office. And we have developed a unique online reporting system, VisibilITy, so that customers can check repair statistics and see how much waste they have saved from going to landfill.
Now through blogs and other messages, we are telling the construction world on a regular basis about our efforts in promoting sustainability, as well as the company's diverse activities across the sectors.
Mention 'profiles' to any of our Finishers, however, and they are likely to picture the last uPVC window frame or piece of fascia they repaired, rather than changing the details on a Facebook page.
No-one can argue with the fact that the BRE's Green Book endorses the specification of uPVC, and the manufacturers correctly claim that the material is almost endlessly recyclable. The 'inconvenient truth', though, is that the components employed in shaping our built environment are very susceptible to damage, and those that succumb all too often end up in skips rather than being salvaged, chipped and reused.
The types of damage Plastic Surgeon is called to deal with vary from minor scratches and dents, to serious distortions, large punctures and even burns. Happily, nearly all of them can be successfully remedied.
If we first consider the sort of striations that result from tradesmen being careless with screwdrivers, claw hammers and other sharp objects – these can very often be smoothed out. Early in their training, our Finishers are shown how to sand out minor damage employing a succession of gradually finer abrasives, until they are restoring the surface's original level of reflectance.
Deeper scrapes and dents generally require the repair process to begin with the application of a two-part or three-part filler, before the sanding process can be used to restore the shape of the extrusion.
And while white remains the most popular choice of colour for the majority of purchasers of uPVC products, there are countless variations to it, and a full spectrum of colours employed by companies making door panels, baths, skirting boards, cladding and other common components.
This is why colour mixing and matching is an essential skill acquired by every Finisher. They learn to blend basic pigments on a palette before touching up both solid colours, intricate patterns and grain effects as part of a process which is normally undetectable to the casual observer.
One of the most remarkable interventions our Finishers make on a regular basis is where a uPVC profile has become distorted in shape due to heat or having some twisting force exerted on it (this often occurs when heavy objects are dragged through windows).
Employing an electric heat gun and a great deal of experience, the Finisher is able to 'coax' the profile back into shape: utilising the fact that uPVC has an inherent 'memory'. Follow this with a polish and nobody would believe the condition it started in.
As a truly versatile material, manufactured using mostly salt and by products from the petroleum industry, uPVC is set to remain as much a part of our everyday lives as social networking. Plastic Surgeon's role is therefore to ensure as much of it as possible remains in use for its full normal working life, rather than going through energy intensive recycling or being consigned to landfill.
Tell us about your damage and we can provide a no-obligation quote.

A deep American voice informs us that, "We only massacred Vietnamese civilians just that one time. At My Lai."
He thinks it best to keep the witnesses silent and the evidence hidden.
A friendly English voice confides in us, "Trust me, for they do have weapons of Mass Destruction."
He thinks it best to cajole a nation into war using truths that have been broken and crippled.
A passionate voice cries out to the World in Hebrew, "We are only defending ourselves against Palestinian terrorists."
He does not mention the theft of land and water. He fails to talk about the thousands of protestors who are hurt and maimed. And he never speaks about the Palestinian children who are killed. Indeed, is "killed" a word that can fully describe what happens when one nation blows apart with missiles the children of another? Such a word should render the listener unable to speak. Make them faint with horror. This new word could perhaps be shaped from the tears of a grieving mother.
And what do ordinary people do with liars? Why, we vote them into power.

PITTSBURGH — Dan Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, ranks Sunday's comeback playoff victory over Cleveland just behind the "Immaculate Reception" as the most thrilling moment in franchise history.
As comebacks go, however, the 17-point turnaround was merely the third-best of the season for quarterback Tommy Maddox.
It doesn't top Maddox's comeback from utter obscurity -- an odyssey that reads like a Frank Capra movie script -- nor does it beat out his comeback last month from an injury to his head and spine that nearly left him paralyzed.
Considering those experiences, beating the Browns by directing three touchdown drives in the fourth quarter and bringing a franchise one step closer to its first Super Bowl title in 23 years seems, well, like another day at the office.
"This is what I do," Maddox said Monday. "When I step out on the field, I expect to play well, and I expect to win. I think there will come a time after it's all said and done that I'll look back and say, 'What a great ride.' But now's not the time to do that."

EDIT: As of 1MAY2014 you can only get each personal AMEX card once EVER in a lifetime (i.e. the new card bonus that is – you can get the card itself again). Thus churning AMEX cards is no longer an option. If you did get the PERSONAL card you can get the BUSINESS card however and get the new card bonus!
Per AMEX reps, including supervisors in charge of Delta Amex card promotions, you can get the NEW CARD sign up bonus for ANY Delta Amex card
every 24 months (EDIT: The NEW RULE is you must NOT have the SAME card for the past 12 months or 365 days. It is the CLOSE date of the card that matters NOW). There are caveats and I will try to cover them.
Here is the ideal Delta round of cards.
Year 1 you get any Delta Amex personal card and then your wife/other goes for Biz card
Year 2 you get any Delta Amex biz card (pick biz after 1st click) & your wife/other goes for personal card. Once you have Year 2 cards you CANCEL Year 1 cards
Year 3 rinse and repeat the above, forever (be sure to wait 366 days after close date to reapply)!
Now you naturally always want to have a Delta Amex card to get free bags and all the other nice perks the cards give you when you fly. Also please note you DO NOT need to have a corporation to get the business cards! A sole proprietor can get them too (ie the business is only run by you full or part time).
Some generic info about going for card? My wife and I get a total of almost 20 credit cards each and every year. My credit score pre-round date is always over 750 fico and vantage over 900! We have hundreds of thousands of dollars of available (not used!) credit on cards. So every 90 days or so we both get 2-5 cards. Most of the time we get instant approvals, sometimes I have to call and move around credit lines to get approvals. Last year we both had 100% approvals on all cards and earned literally millions of miles.
So why do we do this? I learned from Rick the "Frugal Travel Guy". He knows this game very well. You may have seen him on Nightline and may have had the privilege to hear him speak at the Chicago or other DO's. I know him personally and he is a brilliant man. So, if you do 3 or 4 or 5 applications all on the same day for different banks, your odds for approval on them all goes way up! Also keep in mind it is good to have a long credit history. So keep what ever card you really love, ideally one with no annual fee, forever and charge something to it each and every year!
So what would be an idea for a Delta round today? Look at this:
- You get Delta Amex GOLD or PLAT or Reserve card
- Your other gets Delta BIZ GOLD BIZ or PLAT or Reserve
- (you must click biz button on the 1st page of the app)
- You get the US Bank FlexPerks card
- Your other gets the US Bank Club Carlson card
- Both of get a Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard® card
- Both of get the BlueBird card to help meed the spend on these cards!
(above are my links & I get referral credit -thanks for supporting the blog)
This 3 card round will net you two over ¼ MILLION points in ONE DAY (once min spend is met for each card that is). Now, over the next 90 days, meeting the spend is the challenge for you to work on your way. But at a conservative 1 cent per point you have gained $2500 in free travel. Do this 4 times and you have 1 Million points! – René

You are viewing our Printer Friendly Edition. Please follow to view the original article here: DIME Home > Bankruptcy > Interesting Facts About Bankruptcy
is figuratively true that the words "interesting" and
"bankruptcy" should never be used in one sentence, but to
research about bankruptcy is to discover facts too interesting for
the subject. Do not be afraid. Not all articles on bankruptcy are
"constitution-esque" articles.
start with, can you imagine how the first banks in history look like?
Banking was held in public places, such as markets and fairs.
Transactions were made over wooden benches. That's right. Coins and
important papers were exchanged over a wooden bench where everyone in
that public place could see.
Italy, it was a common practice to break a bank's wooden bench
whenever a bank owner declares that his bank is no longer capable of
operating - primarily, due to financial reasons. Therefore, when
people see a broken bench, where a bank used to be in, it means that
that bank has ceased operating.
word "bench", when translated in Latin, is "bancus"; while
"broken" is translated as "ruptus." Meanwhile, the Italian
phrase "banco rotto" when translated to English is "broken
bank." Have you been reading something that sounds like bankrupt?
Yes you are! Hence, the word, "bankruptcy". In the legal world,
there are laws that guide, or revive a business that is close to
totally sinking. When a business has debt that is way bigger than the
assets, that company should stop borrowing money. Sometimes, it is
even better for that business to announce bankruptcy.
forward to the twentieth century: Gadi
Leshem is the C.E.O. and president of a company that installs
carpets. He also heads the Ogden River restoration in Utah. He also
is a movie producer and a very close friend to Utah mayor Matthew
Godfrey. Moreover, he is also a realtor at Ogden. He has been buying
real estates at Ogden, a place he said he loved so much.
Leshem filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. His carpet installation
company is bankrupt. It only has 1 million in assets and 46 million
in debts. Now that is a good reason for a bench to be broken.
Sometimes, declaring bankruptcy can help revive a sinking business.
11 bankruptcy allows the owners of a corporation or a partnership to
come up with a plan for reorganization, to keep the business alive,
and pay debtors over time. Gadi
Leshem is now closing 21 of his 23 facilities. Selling these
assets will
$291,966 in revenue, a move that might just mean "life" for his
other, more profitable businesses.

Risk and gearing: loans increase the gearing of a enterprise, that means that their danger is increased. Gearing is may be obtained by calculating the percentage of lengthy-time period loans in comparison with whole capital. If long-term loans take up more than 50% of total capital, then the business would be known as highly geared. This is very dangerous as a result of the business must pay again lots of its loans and has to succeed to do so. Banks are much less willing to lend to these companies, so they will have to find different kinds of finance.

Hosted by the Space Frontier Foundation, the Return to the Moon III conference is cosponsored by the Foundation for the International Non-governmental Development of Space (FINDS), National Space Society, Space Studies Institute, International Space University, and American Astronomical Society (AAS). Dr. Mike Duke of the Lunar and Planetary Institute and planetary scientist Dr. Wendell Mendell are confirmed as conference chairs. Author Ben Bova, Apollo 10 and 16 astronaut John Young, and Apollo 17 astronaut and former Senator Harrison Schmitt are confirmed as speakers.
"It has been so long since humans have been to the Moon that some believe the landings were faked," remarked Space Frontier Foundation President, Rick Tumlinson, when asked about the timing of the conference. "It is time to make good on the legacy of Apollo; it is time to return to the Moon this time, to stay."
With recent cutbacks to NASA's human exploration budget, government and private cooperation will be critical to any near-term lunar missions. The conference will revisit older work done on lunar missions and base design with today's technology in order to determine the cost and viability of collaboration.
"The Moon has fallen from NASA's radar screen," said conference chair Mike Duke. "This conference will contribute to identifying the rationale and objectives that can bring industry and government together to explore the Moon for science and commerce."
Unlike its predecessors, Return to the Moon III will take a systems-integration approach to lunar base design. After a day and half of presentations, audience members will be invited to join experts in finding "best-fit" solutions the most functional base design, rather than the most advanced technologies, which may not work well together.
Abstracts on any aspect of lunar base design may be submitted to the Space Frontier Foundation before May 4, 2001. For submission guidelines, please contact the Foundation at 1-800-787-7223.
Abstract deadline extended till May18! Be included in this historic Lunar Conference!
"The National Space Society recognizes the Lunar Development Conference as an excellent opportunity to develop strategies and define the commercial potential for human exploration and settlement of the Moon." - Frank Sietzen, Editor, Ad Astra

After carefully checking everything I noticed the following problems: The left corner of the lid has a dent. Don't really care too much about it because it doesn't impair its functioning. More importantly: the lid is not closing anymore. The screen is intact, but the lid doesn't fully close down. I was able to close it in a couple of occasions, but it's usually not closing down. Everthing is working fine, except for the lid not closing down on the base. My question is, how much will it cost me to replace the lid (or the case if needed) through Apple? Thank-you. Igor PS: The laptop was connected to the headset and the cord got caught under my chair. As I moved without noticing it, the laptop literally flew and fell on the floor. Ironically if there wasn't a magsafe adapter, the laptop would still be intact. But again, no one to blame but myself.

I had off last Tuesday so, Addy and I visited the pumpkin patch! {Days off are the best part of teaching!!! ;o)}
We went to a the "learning part" of the pumpkin patch that had a ton of animals...bunnies, cow, goats, alpaca, pigs, and chickens, a ton of open running space, a huge slide (too big for Addy), bikes, mazes, straw "trampolines" and more! Addy had a blast and loved every minute of our trip!
After all that "learning" we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch!
When we got home I asked Addy if she would let me take a picture of her and her pumpkins on the step and {gasp} she let me!
Yes, she has three pumpkins in this picture and many more at home now. Addy loves pumpkins!
I love days off! For one day last week and one this week I get to pretend to be a SAHM! I love those days!

Bridge Project
Church Life
On Wednesdays, during school term-times, St Peter's opens its doors to welcome people to our own luncheon club augmented by activities. We open at 11am and finish at 2pm.
Volunteers prepare and serve an average of forty two-course lunches for which a nominal charge is made.
Activities have included a visit from Morley Exotic Animals, a folk group, amateur players, a deaf musician,.etc.. There are regular Bingo games and quizzes though, despite the name, we've never played Bridge!
An annual trip has taken us to places including an early 19
century war ship, a visit to a chocolate factory and teapottery, a Cistercian abbey, a trip on a canal and on a steam railway.
At the end of each term we enjoy a special meal (Christmas, Easter and in the Summer) for which an extra charge is made.
Best of all, Bridge is a community of people who enjoy each other's company and a good meal together.
Everyone is welcome – and the first session is on us! Just ask for details.

Before buying your next TV, you should make sure it comes with Google's Assistant.
With Google Assistant, flat screens like LG's latest portfolio of 4K TVs announced at CES 2018 — the B8, C8, E8, and the Wallpaper W8 series, and more — are getting a real dose of intelligence.
Unlike most smart TVs that come with what are essentially set-top box interfaces that deliver your content through apps like Netflix and Hulu, LG's new TVs leverage the brains of Google to do basically everything a Google Home does.
Using the included voice remote, you can get the weather, play music, pull up a video, search Google, or control your smart devices.
Additionally, LG's new TVs also come with voice controls for its own ThinQ smart home platform, which'll let you control compatible devices like smart robot vacuums, smart ovens, and smart washing machines.
In other words, instead of needing a special ThinQ hub to link up all of your smart home devices, your TV is the hub.
And, with a special Alexa skill and an Amazon Echo, you'll also be able to control select TV functions.
LG gave me an early look at new 2018 65-inch Wallpaper TV with the Google Assistant and LG ThinQ voice controls (they didn't have an Echo with Alexa set up for me to try), and I liked what I saw.
Voice controls on your TV remote just makes sense. TV makers have been implementing press-to-speak voice controls into their remotes for years, but they've always been a little on the dumb side because their AI just wasn't very good.
With a new A9 processor powering its 2018 TVs, LG claims they're better at recognizing your voice and at deciphering your queries. Rather than rely solely on its own voice assistant and AI, LG's TVs work in the background to decide which voice assistant is better suited to give you the best result.
For example, if you say something like "What is Mashable?" into the remote's microphone, it'll defer to the Google Assistant because it's better at online search. And just like the Assistant in a Google Home, it's contextually aware, so you can follow that question up with something like "And who founded it?"
But if you say "Turn on my LG smart robot vacuum," your TV will tell LG's digital assistant to start a cleaning.
I was told by an LG representative that the TV will try to surface video-related content first based on your requests. Makes sense, since you're asking for things on a TV, that you use to watch things on.
All of this AI is supposed to happen in the background. Like most AI that's being jammed into consumer electronics, the results are hit or miss. Sometimes it nails your voice commands and sometimes it doesn't.
But even when the voice controls fail, you can't help but believe in the Google Assistant, just like you do on a Google Home.
With Google Assistant, watching TV feels less like a robotic task and more like an interactive experience. It's natural to want to find a YouTube video related to something you see on TV. Or want to look up an actor or actress's Wikipedia after watching a movie they're in. Or wanting to find out the upcoming weather forecast after the news tells you about the #BombCyclone.
Complementary things that you'd normally look up on your phone or computer can now be seamlessly on your TV with voice controls. It's such a first-world solution, but that's what everyone said about the Echo and its Alexa voice controls, and look at how big that's become.
Picture quality is usually the most important feature on a TV — does it support 4K and HDR? — but I think it's time we put more weight into TV intelligence.

|Arthritis and movement
|Written by Karel Nunnink
Weights and arthritis
Arthritis literally means joint disease there are different types, one type osteoarthritis accounts for about 80% of the cases and effects millions of people around the world.
This is a degenerative disordering which cartilage( the soft cushy sponge like tissues that act as shock absorbers between bones) starts to breakdown.
Cartilage is composed mostly of water, kind of likes damp sponge or small balloon filled with water, so when pressure is applied to the joint the water is moved around to equalize the force and therefore protect the bones.
This spongy part of the cartilage also contains special nutrients like glycoaminoglycans and cells like chondrocytes that help to regenerate new bits of cartilage.
Although many people think of Osteoarthritis as a wear and tear issue, this may be too simplistic an approach, as the immune system is also involved in the repair mechanism and can sometimes get carried away and do more damage then repair.
Cartilage in itself has no blood supply, and depends on pressing forces to squeeze out wastes and then pulling or distracting forces to pull in nutrients.
Because of the lack of blood flow cartilage only has a limited ability to repair itself.
Some people are more likely to develop Osteoarthritis than others, gender(women have a slightly greater chance than men) excess weight and a family history all are predisposing factors.
As far as sport activities, a study done in England in 2002 found basketball to be the most injurious sport of all, Olympic weightlifting was number 19 and powerlifting was 12th.
This was confirmed in a later study at the National Centers for Disease Control where they also found basketball at the top of the list for reported injuries, and weight training and aerobics near the bottom.
Most important was muscle mass because of it's protective properties on the joints, if your muscles are weak you are at an elevated risk for developing Osteoarthritis.
Muscle is the most important protector of joints, cartilage only absorbs shock that gets past the muscle that's why muscle weakness is so harmful.
As more and more shocks get through, like your cars suspension, something has to give and that means a degradation in cartilage.
Now you are bone on bone and that can be painful and lead to decrease in movement and therefore decrease in muscle, and increase in your joints being exposed to more shear and wear.
The bad news is you cant grow new cartilage to replace the cartilage worn away yet, but there are some real exciting breakthroughs not to far in our future. The good news is that you can grow new muscle tissue and thereby rebuild a critical part of your joints shock absorber system.
