The Northeast Charter Schools Network today issued the following statement after the State Board of Education recommended renewals for four public charter schools at the May 2 public meeting.
For Immediate Release: May 2, 2018

Charter Association Responds to State Board of Education Renewal Recommendations for Four Public Charter Schools
New Haven, CT – The Northeast Charter Schools Network today issued the following statement after the State Board of Education recommended renewals for four public charter schools at the May 2 public meeting.
Northeast Charter Schools Network Connecticut State Director Yam Menon said, "We are pleased that the charters for these schools have been renewed, and we believe wholeheartedly in the importance of a strong charter policy environment inclusive of transparency and accountability. As a result of these renewals, families will continue to be able to send their children to these schools.
"It is equally important for our state's leaders to consider the many successes of our state's charters, as well as the unique needs of the students and communities they serve when making these recommendations. Among the schools recommended for renewals with limitations are schools that serve more special education students than their host district and the state average, schools that employ trauma-sensitive, emotionally-responsive practices to meet student needs, and a school that was identified as a School of Distinction just last year for academic performance and improvement. While we understand and encourage the need for oversight, these schools also deserve a chance to work on their areas of improvement.
"Over the years, we have seen our state's public charter schools answer the State Board of Education's call, band together and successfully improve outcomes for students. We stand ready to support these schools as they too seek out ways to better serve their students."
About the Northeast Charter Schools Network: The Northeast Charter Schools Network is the membership and advocacy organization for the more than 300 charter schools in New York and Connecticut. Its mission is to support and expand high quality charter schools.

After reading Phil's blog today I remembered I wanted a rice cooker so I headed up to K-Mart and bought one. It has a steamer rack in it too. I never steam food because I don't have a good saucepan steamer so it's too much bother but now I can buy bbq pork buns from the Asian groceries!
I haven't used it yet but my fave rice cooker thing (from staying at Briony's and using hers) is this. After a run (or the gym or whatever situation where you are mega-hungry and mega-not wanting to fuss), throw some rice and frozen vegies in the rice cooker and set. Jump in the shower. Once you are clean and changed, mix some mirin, furikake* and tuna through the rice and serve. No fuss, no muss.
* Furikake is rice seasoning. You get it at Asian Grocers. Apparently it's really lower class to use it to flavour your rice but who cares… it's damn awesome. There are many different varieties. I just select them at random.
Also, here is the cold soba noodle recipe. I used a bought sauce cos buggered if I'm making my own.
I also forgot to post one of my new summer faves the other day. It is thus: take a bunch of grapes, shove them in the freezer until frozen. Eat. They are so good, like sorbet but all natural!
Other than that, I've done no exercise and eaten far too much today. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court justices considered this
prison scene: jailers going cell-to-cell with notepads
asking inmates to confess past crimes or forfeit their
prison privileges.
Kansas does that to sex offenders in rehabilitation,
an inmate lawyer argued Wednesday.
As part of therapy, rapists and other offenders must
list all their past sex crimes, information that can
be used for fresh prosecutions. Those who refuse go
into maximum security.
"No TV? ... No recreation? No softball?" Justice
Anthony M. Kennedy asked. "Isn't there a danger of
inducing innocent people to confess?"
An appeals court ruled the practice unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court may use the case to determine how
far the government can go to rehabilitate inmates
without violating constitutional rights.
Kansas argues it is protecting the public because sex
offenders have a high likelihood of repeating their
crimes. The Bush administration and other states also
want justices to use the case to extend prison
No one has been prosecuted with information divulged
to counselors, justices were told. But Kansas, unlike
some other states, does not give prisoners immunity
for information they share.
The case turns on inmate Robert Lile's Fifth Amendment
right against self-incrimination. Lile has been in
prison since 1983 for raping a young woman. He claims
the sex was consensual.
When he was ordered to begin the program in 1994, Lile
was told to sign paperwork admitting guilt in the
crimes he was convicted of and to fill out a form that
listed his sexual history, including names of any
other victims. Prison staff members use lie detector
tests to check for accuracy.
When Lile refused, his security classification was
changed, which means fewer visitors, no personal
television, limited work and recreation opportunities
and restrictions on what he can keep in his cell.
Stephen McAllister, the Kansas solicitor, said the
program is limited now to those who commit sex crimes,
but officials believe it would be constitutional to
expand it.
If that happened, "every prisoner in Kansas could be
told, 'Either confess ... or you're going to maximum
security for the rest of your term.' I would be very
troubled by that," Kennedy said.
Some justices seemed conflicted over how significant
the privileges were and whether there is a difference
between privileges being offered or taken away.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said visitation "must mean
all the difference in the world to somebody who's
"This man is going to eat whether he does it (program)
or not," Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist said.
Lile's lawyer, Matthew Wiltanger, said model prisoners
who refuse to give authorities incriminating
information get the same punishment as serious
Kansas solicitor McAllister said they are not
penalized, just denied mild incentives.
The federal government also has a sex offender
program, but unlike in Kansas' program, participation
is optional.
The 18 states supporting Kansas in the case said in
court filings that the ruling against that state by
the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals "improperly
undercuts the state's dual interests in punishing sex
offenders for past crimes and in rehabilitating those
offenders effectively to prevent future crimes."
Cardozo Law School professor Kyron Huigens said if
Kansas wins, other states will expand their programs.
"I think that the states probably have an ulterior
motive of gathering evidence," he said. "If they
really wanted to treat people, they could give them
immunity and there wouldn't be a Fifth Amendment
The case is McKune v. Lile, 00-1187.

White House: Time is Running Out on Housing Bill
A housing bill frozen in the Senate is "running out of time," White House spokesperson Tony Fratto said in a press conference Tuesday. Softening the administration's stance on proposed housing relief legislation set to be at the top of Congress' list after the July 4 break, Fratto said that President Bush wants to see a housing bill "as soon as possible." "The Senate put off a lot of work," he said. "They've been in session for a long time and some very critical pieces of legislation got put off for yet another recess, and now this last session is getting pretty close to the August recess." Senators Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Richard Shelby (R-AL) rolled out the housing bill to the Senate floor on June 18 amid strong bipartisan support, but what HW's sources have characterized as "standard-fare pork barrelling" has threatened to derail the bill since that time. In particular, Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) recently delayed Senate progress towards a final vote on the proposal, forcing the issue over a non-housing-related amendment tied to renewable energy tax cuts. Ensign's technical delay tactics came despite a vote to invoke cloture that was approved by sweeping 83-9 margin. The Senate proposal would create a $300 billion initiative within the Federal Housing Administration to ostensibly prevent foreclosures by refinancing loans into FHA-endorsed product; the cost of the program would be covered by contributions to an affordable housing fund by both Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE). The package also contains provisions that would establish a new regulator for the GSEs, and allocate nearly $4 billion in supplemental Community Development Block Grant Funds to be used to buy vacant and foreclosed properties in hard-hit neighborhoods. It also includes an FHA modernization bill that the industry has long pushed for, as well as $150 million in additional funding for housing counseling. Asked if progress was being made towards a final version of the bill, Fratto would only say that "discussions continue, certainly." "Members of the Senate know I think pretty clearly where the President is on this and what our position has been on various elements of housing legislation," he said. President Bush has objected to the proposed $4 billion in in block grant funds, arguing that the funds merely bail out lenders, a position Fratto re-emphasized on Tuesday. "That's ... funding that actually goes to those holding these foreclosed loans, and that's the original lenders, and we prefer not to be subsidizing lenders," Fratto said. "We'd rather try to focus on ways we can help homeowners who want to stay in their homes." The Senate is set to consider the housing pacakage when it returns on July 7th -- the housing package, H.R. 3221, is scheduled for debate beginning at 3pm Eastern on that day. Disclosure: The author held no positions in FNM or FRE when this story was originally published. HW reporters and writers follow a strict disclosure policy, the first in the mortgage trade.

G Thedao Kurs: Investment President talks the Future: The Affluence Network
Thank you so much for visiting our site in your search for "G Thedao Kurs" online. It should be difficult to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having little gains is more lucrative than attempting to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to have a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Second, there is more unpredictability and reward in monies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. It is definitely possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities no matter marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be okay. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental increases are more reliable and profitable (most times) It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital money referred to as Bitcoin. There are different from common money we know. This is only because they're not commanded by any state or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. In addition, it brought tremendous alternatives to the issues of identity theft online. Trades go through several celebrations as a means of creating trust, but now it truly is possible to create trust through development of a sophisticated code by a single party.
G Thedao Kurs: TAN – Everybody Wins
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers argue that there is "actual" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value grows due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some form of wages so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades resides.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It really is also possible that the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the method in which it's transacted. All transactions over a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When you're paid, you get paid. This isn't something short-term where your customers could dispute or desire a refunds, or employ unethical sleight of palm. In-practice, many professionals would be smart to work with a cost processor, because of the permanent character of crypto-currency transactions, you have to be sure that security is challenging. With any form of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your individual keys and so steal your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly can never have it back. It's vitally important for you really to adopt some great safe and sound procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from all of these bad activities. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the benefit. In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be traded as a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say this sort of virtual cash is not managed by a central banking system and is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted variety of items, this cash's importance is based on market forces, enabling entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency trades. When searching on the web forG Thedao Kurs, there are many things to think about.
G Thedao Kurs – The Peoples Medium of Exchange: The Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about G Thedao Kurs. Since among the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it really is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a fair investment strategy. This mining task validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it isn't a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no requirement for big amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be attained by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. If you are looking for G Thedao Kurs, look no further than The Affluence Network.
G Thedao Kurs: TAN – The future is Now
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it's basically crucial that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless quantities (I am not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation. A lot of people would rather use a money deflation, notably people who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal solitude, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen within your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies. You've probably noticed this many times where you frequently spread the nice word about crypto. "It's not volatile? What goes on when the price accidents? " sofar, many POS systems offers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will soon be unwilling to put on any. We have to discover a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally connects in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these firms decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these issues are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.

Australia's Mining Provides No New Revenue
October 26, 2012 Taxation in Australia
CANBERRA – Australia's controversial mining tax has hit a major hurdle, as allegations arise that it will not provide any tax revenues at all.
Over the course of the week accusations have surfaced in Australia that the country's new Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) has not resulted in any increase to government tax revenues in the three months since it was instated and the situation may not improve during the rest of the year.
On October 22nd the government cut its forecasts for the revenues which would be raised from the MRRT in the 2012 fiscal year from AUD 3.7 billion to AUD 2 billion.
Within days, on October 24th, the Australian media published new analysis concluidng that the country's three biggest mining companies were not liable to pay any tax under the MRRT system for the first quarter of the year, and accusations arose that the tax would not lead to any tax revenues for the remainder of the year.
At a press conference held in Brisbane on October 25th the Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan defended the tax, saying that an official tally of how much revenues were raised through the system would be revealed in December.
He also retaliated against the claims that the tax would not raise adequate revenues throughout the year, saying that the government's forecasts are calculated for the entire fiscal year and "…you can't take one particular quarter and claim that as representative of the whole year."
Wayne Swan also emphasized that the tax liabilities under the MRRT are based on the profits of the mining companies, which cannot be expected to stay at the same level throughout the year, due to fluctuations in international commodity prices and variations in demand from Australia's trade partners.
Despite the Treasurer's defense, the government is still facing intense criticisms for implementing the tax, with the shadow Treasurer of Australia Joe Hockey saying "…I have never heard of a tax that doesn't raise a dollar," and "…this is a new benchmark in public policy."

A new Star Wars movie means new toys and now we have our first official look at the action figures and LEGO Millennium Falcon for Solo. Hasbro and LEGO released details about the new merchandise for the Solo movie ahead of this weekend's New York Toy Fair and they look pretty awesome. New Star Wars toys are always a big deal, but they're especially a big deal when they contain the new "old" version of the Millennium Falcon, before Han Solo and Chewie messed it up so bad.
The new Kessel Run Millennium Falcon LEGO set features a young Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Chewie, Qi'ra, a Kessel droid, and two other secret characters that have not been announced just yet. This is the first official look at the LEGO set, which was previously seen in leaked photos that were not of the highest quality. The set consists of 1,414 pieces and runs a steep price tag of $169.99. The full description reads.
"Outsmart the villainous overseers and escape the Kessel Mines aboard the amazing Millennium Falcon! Pull amazing maneuvers from the cockpit. Jump in the laser turrets and fire back at pursuing craft. Then check the hyperdrive and get ready to jump to safety! After all that excitement, kick back with Han and his friends with a drink from the bar, while you let Chewbacca win at Dejarik. Then it's off to bed for a well-earned snooze in the bunk aboard the fastest ship in the galaxy!"
Next up are Hasbro's action figures for the Solo movie. The new action figures are labeled under the Black Series and they are each 6" tall. The set features Chewbacca, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Qi'ra, and the Imperial Range Trooper. There is also a set of 3" figures that go with the new Millennium Falcon, which shows off Han's sleeping quarters. There's no pricing information on the new Millennium Falcon set with the 3" action figures, but one can imagine that it's pretty pricey like the LEGO set.
The Millennium Falcon has been around in LEGO form since 2000 and since then, all kinds of different sets have been released. Most notably, was the 2017 Ultimate Collector's Series line which cost $799 and had 7,541 pieces. Even with the hefty price tag, Star Wars fans ran out to buy the Millennium Falcon set, leading it to sell out and fetch even higher prices on the internet. So, a new version of the Millennium Falcon will sell, no matter how the movie does in theaters, just so collectors can keep up to date on all of the latest sets.

Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters on May 25th and the new action figures and LEGO sets will come out sometime before the movie arrives. The first trailer recently dropped for the movie and Star Wars fans are divided once again on whether the movie will be any good or not. One thing that is not very divisive is the new world of Star Wars toys, which you can check out below, courtesy of Star Wars News Net.

Straw Hats Go To Brooklyn Botanic Garden
The Straw Hat Society accompanied a group of Rutgers Gardens volunteers on an outing to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden which is celebrating Hanami, the Japanese Cherry Blossom Viewing Season.
It's still very early so only a few cherries are in bloom. We were offered tantalizing glimpses of the glory to come in the Japanese Garden.
What fascinated me the most was the size of the carp in the pond.
They're even bigger than the ducks! Why is the theme from "Jaws" playing in my head?
There were plenty of blossoms in the Magnolia Plaza.
On the way to the Conservatory, the group almost lost me at the Garden Gift Shop.
Roses for sale!
I was pleased to see that the Tropical Pavillion contained my two most important food groups:
Coffee and chocolate (cacao). Can any of you bakers guess what this is?
Vanilla bean pods on a vanilla orchid. Yum!
After lunch at the outdoor café, we set off for the Children's Garden. Along the way, I was able to indulge in my passion for interesting trees.
Isn't that great? I might never have noticed it if it had leaves.
How's that for an espalier?
The Children's Garden has been used by children since 1914.
I loved the gates to the garden:
Right next door is the Discovery Garden.
I like spiders in my garden but I'm not so sure that I'd like one this large.
At the Rock Garden, in addition to seeing Alpine plants, we were very excited to have our first Blogger Meetup.
That's Xris from Flatbush Gardener in red. He shared his in-depth knowledge of the gardens with us during the rest of our tour. Here are some highlights:
From the Compost Demo site:
I really should do something like this with my composter.
The gates to the Native Flora Garden.
Skunk Cabbage in bloom.
Look at the size of the wisteria on that pergola!
The Cranford Rose Garden. Now that's something I'd love to see in bloom.
The Knot Garden in the Herb Garden.
The Shakespeare Garden was alive with spring color.
The last leg of our tour was a "behind the scenes" tour conducted by Patrick Cullina, VP of Horticulture at BBG and the former Associate Director of Rutgers Gardens. We saw the greenhouses where the plants are grown and propagated.
I wonder if my rosemary will ever get this large?
At the end of the day, we were exhausted but sorry to leave the gardens. You can see more photos of our tour on Flickr.

text: Viet Nam News HÀ NỘI – A number of senior architects have objected to plans to build sewer system into Kim Ngưu River, one of the most polluted in the city. With seven sewers discharging household wastewater into it every kilometre, water in the 7.7km Kim Ngưu River has a black colour and smells bad. A Vietnamese construction company in August proposed a plan to revive the river by improving water quality in a 1.2km section of it, starting from Trần Khát Chân Street to the Mai Động Bridge in the city's inner district of Hai Bà Trưng. R&D Planners suggested divided the river into two layers: the riverbed, where a system of underground sewers will be built to collect wastewater, and the surface water which retains rainwater and treated wastewater. While agreeing that improving the river's water quality will benefit thousands of residents living nearby, at a recent conference in Hà Nội, experts opposed the construction of a concrete sewer system on the riverbed. Dr Nguyễn Quốc Thông, president of the Việt Nam Association of Architects, said: "I don't agree with building such a system since I think a river should have a natural riverbed, and an ecosystem that consists of mud, soil, algae and plants. "The most important principle is to turn the river back to its natural state rather than into something man-made. "We should definitely find ways to treat underground wastewater, but not with a concrete riverbed." Tô Anh Tuấn, former director of the Hà… [Read full story]

Undergraduate Network for Research in the Humanities Conference 2018
Undergraduate Network for Research in the Humanities Conference 2018
Undergraduate Network for Research in the Humanities is an organization working to address the lack of cross-institutional support for undergraduate research in the humanities.
To reverse this culture, the Undergraduate Network for Research in the Humanities has become that collective of students from a wide array of colleges and universities whose mission is to promote, present, and encourage rigorous student research in the humanities, especially with an emphasis on digital humanities.
UNRH provides both a physical space for student interactions in the form of an annual conference, and a virtual space on their website with a forum built for the exchange of ideas.
The UNRH network has been steadily growing; in fact, since the first UNRH conference in November, 2015, the conference has accepted over 50 projects, involving over 80 undergraduates from 31 institutions all across the United States, Canada, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
The 2018 conference was hosted by Hope College this past weekend on February 16th-18th in Holland, MI. I was privileged to attend with my professor Jacob Heil who was the key note speaker at this year's conference.
The biggest themes from the conference I feel were around finding support structures and avenues through which to ask humanities and digital humanities questions. Delegates discussed the importance of faculty and student cooperating in the pursuit of research questions.
I was particularly by Shaheera Pesnani insistence on the importance of design thinking centered courses, projects and planning. Many of the delegates expressed the sentiment that access to faculty mentorship and guidance in digital humanities work would move projects forward in incredible ways. There was also mention of departmental tables/ lunches to foster student-faculty conversation by Arianna Montero-Colbert. These are incredible people, and they are working on the most incredible projects! I want to examine each of their projects individually but find a short description of each of their projects below:

NHL player Tim Hollander lost his temper one time and threw a water bottle at an abusive fan. After "Bottlegate," he's traded to the San Diego Barracudas, where he'll need to keep the bad publicity to a minimum while proving he can still compete with the younger guys on the ice.
Erin Collier is a pediatric nurse who's never seen a hockey game, but gets in line for Tim's autograph at a PR event in hopes of impressing the doctor she has a crush on. When an obnoxious fan gets pushy toward Erin, Tim rushes to defend the pretty stranger, throwing a punch in the process.
Grateful for the rescue, Erin agrees to stand by Tim during the resulting press conference and host him at a hospital charity event. Their chemistry is palpable, and soon their lives are intertwined. But Erin doubts a hockey player is capable of anything resembling a real relationship. And if Tim can't get her to see beyond what's on the surface, they'll never last longer than a single season…
"Willoughby absolutely blew me away with this one. This may be my new favorite hockey romance." –The Book Pushers
"Fans of Catherine Gayle, Toni Aleo and Jaci Burton will love this one…" –For Love and Books
"It's sports romance. It's hockey. It's Willoughby. I'm so there." –One Good Book Deserves Another

"On the Surface is truly one of the best books I have read this year… A must buy!" –Lush Book Reviews

I Am Plagued with Common Sense
Level-headed, mature, has so much common sense, solid, a rock, not emotional.
These terms have all been used to describe me, by a wide array of people. Now, before you become disgusted with me and stop reading this, (or perhaps you're so intrigued by my self praise at this point that you will read on anyway)know that at this moment in time, and in fact many moments in time, I am frustrated with my common sense. Why? Because it's so restraining! Don't think I am not flattered by these descriptions of me by others, I am 100% flattered, and most of the time I love my non-emotional common sense. But I would love to be able to just flip out once in a while. You know, yell at someone because I have grounds to. Or just cry and cry and have someone else tell me it will be OK rather than having my stupid common sense brain screaming at me, "Karen, how much does this or will this really matter in the grand scheme of things?" Stop common sense, go away! Just for one day let me over-react and exaggerate and think that it's the end of the world. When I have grounds to be mad at someone, let me give it to them, stop pulling my grounds out from under me. Let me grieve at the loss of a friendship, or complain because I've been sitting in a trailer all summer and not feel guilty about it.
Even now, I feel like posting this blog is an emotional reaction that I will regret because my common sense tells me I don't need this release, that I am just fine. So perhaps I will delete it tomorrow. And perhaps I won't. My common sense and I have had a lot of battles lately.

Can we all agree that this matte black (flat black, satin black, murdered out -- whatever you choose to call it) trend is over? I mean, way over -- a long time ago. But even now, I probably still see at least 10 matte black cars on my way to and from the HowStuffWorks office each day.
Granted, some cars, like the Lexus LFA pictured here, do seem to be able to pull off this look a lot better than most of the rattle-can-sprayed Honda Civics; but even so, flat black (any flat color, really) is truly starting to look dated. (And before you decide to flame me in the comments section below, you should know that I'm a Honda Civic Si driver myself. But mine is a nice, glossy, dark blue color.)
One place that I do think flat black should remain: old hot rods. The kind that also look good in primer and flames.
I guess I just want to get the CarStuff audience opinion on this one. What do you think will be the next big trend? Is it chrome-covered bodies (like a lot of celebrities seem to be doing to their exotics recently)? Is it maybe going to be some sort of retro-trend, like the return of wooden side panels? Do you think ultra-wide whitewall tires going to reappear? Seriously, I'd like to know what you think in the comments below.
Don't forget that you can keep up with CarStuff on our Facebook page and on our Twitter feed, too. Let us know what you think!

Service was great and portions were more than adequate but felt food was missing some flavour and a bit of individuality.

Established in 2008, Lena has evolved since its inception, but has always retained its focus on quality Southern Italian food with a modern twist. The menu continues to change regularly to reflect the best available produce of the season, with the exception of a few timeless classics which remain a constant. With its industrial ship lights hanging in the windows, steel columns and rustic wooden tables, Lena perfectly represents the urban environment of Shoreditch.
The lower level Lounge Bar at Lena offers a more intimate and cosy environment for diners to continue their evening with cocktails, occasional live music performances, and also frequently hosts private functions ranging from birthday parties to corporate events. With warm copper tones and accents of purple, the bar is a continuation of the restaurant design, and offers the same idiosyncratic service as the main dining room.
In constantly changing Shoreditch, Lena has retained its traditional yet forever-cool style, while simultaneously adapting to the environment, and offering a truly unique dining experience.

Colorado election officials shone at the Election Center's 33rd national conference, winning several prestigious awards and gaining certification or re-certification as election administrators.
Secretary of State Wayne Williams, as well as members of various clerks' offices, attended the conference in Garden Grove, Calif., which ended Wednesday.
"Colorado's county clerks have one of the highest participation rates in the Election Center and it was exciting to see Colorado's clerks win awards and their staffers graduate at this year's national conference," Williams said. "Colorado won three of the 10 awards that were handed out."
El Paso and Denver counties, and the Colorado County Clerks Association were recognized for their work in serving their voters with professional best practices.
The Election Center, also known as the National Association of Election Officials, is one of the America's primary organizations for the training and certification of election and voter registration administrators.
Steve Moreno, who formerly served as the Weld County clerk and recorder and is now a county commissioner, serves on the Election Center's board of directors. The group hands out awards at its annual conference.
The El Paso County clerk's office received the "Independence Award for Innovation in Voting Accessibility" in partnership with The Independence Center, a local nonprofit in Colorado Springs focused on working with people with disabilities, their families, and the community-at-large to support independent living.
The clerk's office says the award recognizes the leadership of elections manager Liz Olson.
"Our office is committed to ensuring all citizens may participate in our democracy's cherished right to vote," said El Paso County Clerk Chuck Broerman. "It is gratifying to work with The Independence Center so that persons with disabilities have easy accessibility to vote, and to enhance awareness of the importance of voting accessibility for all citizens."
Denver Elections received the "Eagles Award for Outstanding Professional Practice of 2017," specifically for its digital customer service platform, "SMS to Case." It allows voters to text keywords to Denver Elections for an auto-response along with other questions that can be answered by customer service members.
"As we close in on the November election, voters will be able to text keywords like VSPC to see an interactive map of Voter Service and Polling Centers and 24 Hour Ballot Drop-Off Boxes, TRACE to get a link to BallotTRACE etc.," Denver Elections wrote in its Facebook page.
It is Denver Elections' fourth national award from the Election Center, and its second Eagles Award. Last year's Eagles Award winner also hailed from Colorado, with Boulder County taking home the award.
"Since taking office in 2011, I've looked to use technology where it makes sense for our customers," said Denver Clerk and Recorder Debra Johnson. "It's wonderful to receive recognition for the innovative ways we answer questions and interact with voters. I'm proud of my Elections Division's commitment to ensuring Denver voters have accurate, secure and convenient elections.
The Colorado County Clerks Association's data subcommittee, led by Elections Director Jennifer Morrell of Arapahoe County, and Denver Elections' Amanda Beach, won the "Democracy Award for Best Practices." The multi-jurisdictional committee provides data to help Colorado election officials predict and plan for elections.
"We are so proud of the collaboration and the innovation that our counties represent for our citizens in Colorado," said Chaffee County Clerk Lori Mitchell, CCCA president-elect. "They continue to strive for creative and efficient voter services."
In addition, Colorado election officials graduated as Certified Elections/Registration Administrators by the Election Center.
To be designated as CERA, participants have to complete a multi-year course of study conducted by the Election Center's Professional Education Program and completion of 12-core course taught by the master's in public administration faculty of Auburn University. The courses range from ethics, to voter registration and elections law, planning, communications, and voter participation, among others.
The intent of the program is to professionalize the management of voter registration and elections administration in promoting and preserving public trust in the democratic process, according to various web reports.
Williams and Kim Wyman of Washington are the only two secretaries of state who are CERA designated. Both attended the conference, where Williams renewed the certification he first received three years ago.
Other Colorado election officials also graduated with their CERA designation:
Adams County: elections administrator Christi Coburn, and Kevin Strauch, tech and operations manager.
Denver Elections: Steve Sharp, senior GIS analyst; Drake Rambke, ballot operations administrator; Dan Volkosh, compliance officer; and Stuart Clubb, ballot operations coordinator.
El Paso County: Michelle Stroup and Stacey Peacock, senior elections specialists. Data specialist Cynthia Fuller started the process for certification, while Brian McLellan, senior elections specialist, attended workshops to maintain his certification.
Larimer County: Shelly Dunlop, elections technician.

Old Orchard Farm, LLC
Pasture Raised Pork
Pigs raised in their natural habitat are happier and healthier to consume than those raised under typical confinement systems. Our pigs spend most of their lives in wooded and pastured areas as nature intended. They have space to roam, root and play, much as they did in colonial times. Much of our pigs' diets comes from the environment they live in. Nuts, apples, grass and roots lend the pork a flavor which is far superior to traditional supermarket pork. In addition, it has been shown that grass fed meat is higher in good cholesterol and lower in bad cholesterol. It also provides much higher levels of Omega-3s which have many proven health benefits.
We strive to afford the pigs the natural, stress-free life and healthy diet that nature intended. As stewards of the land, we treat our farm as a precious, irreplaceable resource, and follow sustainable farming practices to ensure our cropland will be productive for future generations. We do not use hormones or any routine antibiotics. The result— healthy, nutritious, and flavorful pork. All pork is USDA inspected, vacuum packed and frozen.
The price for a whole pig is $3.50/lb based on final hanging weight at the butcher after slaughter. A typical pig hangs at 180 lbs so the pig cost is typically around $630. The slaughter, butchering (cutting & vacuum packaging) is around $200 for a total of around $830 for a whole pig plus any additional processing like smoking, sausage and hot dogs. A whole pig is about three to four cubic-feet depending on packing and yields about 120 lbs. of packaged meat.
Half Pigs:
The price for a half pig is $4.00/lb based on final hanging weight at the butcher after slaughter. A typical half pig hangs at 90 lbs so the pig cost is around $360 or so. The slaughter, butchering (cutting & vacuum packaging) is around $100 for a total of around $460 for a half pig plus any additional processing like smoking, sausage and hot dogs. A half pig is about two cubic-feet depending on packing and yields about 60 lbs of packaged meat.
Quarter Pigs:
If you'd like a quarter pig, find a friend and purchase a half pig together.
The pork will be available in the fall. A $100 deposit is required to hold your reservation. You will have the option of choosing the types of cuts and size of packaging as well as preferences for smoking, sausage etc.

Board of Health Shorts, Sept. 10
by Karina Coombs
Town Counsel introduction
Newly appointed Town Counsel, Tom Harrington of Miyares and Harrington LLP, introduced himself at the September 10 meeting of the Board of Health (BOH). Harrington explained that he considered town board members to be unpaid public officials and wants to ensure they are protected in these roles.
Harrington informed the board that they have the right to contact him directly when they have ethics questions under Statute 268 of the State Ethics Law. Unlike other types of questions or concerns, those involving ethics or financial interest conflicts do not need prior approval from Town Administrator Tim Goddard.
Executive session "help cards" were also passed out to each BOH member and explained when a board can go into executive session, how to do it, what to do when in it and how to make notes. "[You are] always supposed to err on the side of open," explained Harrington when it comes to making a meeting opened or closed.
Of particular emphasis, Harrington told the board they must take a roll call of each vote when in executive session and must take minutes. He also clarified that once the issue that was discussed in private has passed, the minutes must be released to the public.
The board also asked Harrington about the current septic loan program. Member and Treasurer Cathy Galligan said that they are concerned about pre-payments and interest rate changes. Explaining that the loans become desirable when someone wants to sell their house, Galligan wants to make sure the Board of Health is compensated for its work in the event the house is sold and the loan is immediately repaid without any interest charged. Harrington asked to see a copy of the agreement with the state. Galligan also noted that the loan program was not designed for a place like Carlisle and they may opt to stop using it.
Public hearing 128 Log Hill Road
Marc Piermarini of Whitman & Bingham Associates presented plans for a new septic system to replace a failed system at 128 Log Hill Road. The existing plan would require two waivers: a reduction in offset to groundwater and a reduction in leaching area setback to wetlands.
Piermarini described the layout of the property and location of wells, noting the only place to build the system was the location that required both waivers. The board asked Piermarini why the plans did not show the front of the property, and wondered if it would be possible to move the location of the existing well, allowing the septic system to move to the front. The board also asked if he had considered alternative technology systems that would require less space and alleviate the need for the waivers.
Chair Jeffrey Brem explained that the homeowner was not obligated to pursue these alternatives, but it would be considered as part of the waiver process. Brem also clarified that if moving a well or pursuing advanced technologies was not financially feasible for a homeowner, such a concern was legitimate and should be included in an application to the board.
Engineering consultant Rob Frado expressed some concern about approving both waivers. "If it was one or the other I would okay, but both make me worried," he said. Brem asked for the project to be resubmitted to include additional information and look at alternatives on the property. The hearing will be continued on October 8 at 7:45 p.m.
Barn inspection fees
In a continued effort to look at its fee structure to ensure costs are accurately captured, the board turned its eye to the annual barn inspection fee of $25. The board's state appointed inspector, Larry Sorli, in an email distributed by Health Agent Linda Fantasia, believed the fee should remain at $25, but asked that they consider implementing a late fee when inspection fees went unpaid.
Brem and board member Cathy Galligan disagreed about increasing the inspection fee. Galligan wanted to look at the inspection fee to make sure it covered all costs involved, but Brem explained that the salary of BOH employees already captured any additional costs. "Why are you charging residents more if it's already part of their job?" asked Brem.
The board voted to add a late fee of $10 for any unpaid barn inspections. Galligan, with the assistance of Health Agent Linda Fantasia will look at what is involved in barn inspections and revisit the fee at a later date.
Benfield Farms update
Frado reported that he received a call from Mark Beaudry of Meridian Associates regarding the septic system installation at Benfield Farms. Beaudry explained that the septic system as built did not match the approved plans with some of the tubing sitting approximately ten inches too low on one side. Frado told the board he does not want to see any issues arise from this later on and was inclined not to approve it. The board agreed to reject the system and have it redone to design specifications. ∆

Another 'Living Dead' driver !
Posted by Big John on August 6, 2018
Recently I visited my local health centre (nothing serious) and parked my car in an almost empty car park. As I headed for the entrance I noticed another car arrive. The driver parking it one empty parking space away from my vehicle.
Now the spaces in this area are a bit tight, but if you are careful it's not a problem, and in any case, on that morning there were plenty of empty spaces, so no driver arriving would need to manoeuvre into a tight spot.
On leaving the clinic, I could not believe my eyes, for the car park was still almost devoid of vehicles, but there, parked in the space between my car and the one which had arrived just after me was a newly arrived SUV, with the driver and his passenger still sitting inside.
Why were they still sitting inside ? .. Well, the idiot behind the wheel had parked so close to my car that his old lady passenger could only open the door a few inches. Strangely she was still trying the impossible. If the driver had backed up a few feet he would have had half the car park to himself !
"I'm just about to leave" .. I called to her as I approached my car. No response. I drove off. Then 'the penny dropped' .. The health centre is next to Sainsbury's .. sacred to the supermarket 'zombies' reported on in previous posts, and these two hadn't obeyed their …
…. 'Spectral Sat Nav' !

Get Cooking For Your Health
A lot of people think cooking involves a life of drudgery spent chained to the stove, and they try to avoid it as much as possible. The following article gives you tips on how to make cooking fun and enjoyable.
It is essential that you are prepared before you start to cook a meal to serve to your loved ones. Make sure that you have all of the ingredients available. The day before the big event, get everything ready to go. Make sure you have all the utensils and cookware you will need. Being prepared will settle your anxiety and ensure that you are ready to create a fantastic meal.
If you are cooking a dish in oil and need to add more to the pan, drizzle it around the sides. This way, the oil heats up before it reaches the food. Using this method will help ensure your food is as tasty as possible.
Here is a way to save your sauce and use it in your recipes. Mix together a solution of one tablespoon corn starch and two tablespoons water. Use this solution to instantly thicken any sauce. Adding the cornstarch mixture slowly and continuing to stir helps you judge the proper thickness of your sauce.
This type of seasoning can be added to all types of foods other than meat. Add this savory seasoning to snack foods like Chex mix, or use it to spice up your omelet. Everyone will love the flavor and ask you for your secret ingredient!
Substitute water for other more flavorful liquids, in order to spice up your meals. For instance, you can use broth, stock, juice or a bit of wine to replace the water in a recipe. Rather than using milk, think about yogurt, buttermilk or sour cream. Using different liquids is an easy way to make an old dish more interesting and more nutritious.
The preceding paragraphs helped you see cooking as something fun and exciting. Taking the advice offered here can change your meal preparation time from humdrum to lively.
