Sarkozy and the Burka (or Burqa).
Jill Lawrence in Politics Daily:
From the Associated Press:
"In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause at the Chateau of Versailles, southwest of Paris. "The burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement — I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic."
From the New York Times:
"The issue of the burqa is not a religious issue, it is a question of freedom and of women's dignity," Mr. Sarkozy said. "The burqa is not a religious sign, it is a sign of the subjugation, of the submission of women."
Charles Johnson at LGF
Saira Khan in The Mail
And yet, as a British Muslim woman, I abhor the practice and am calling on the Government to follow the lead of French President Nicolas Sarkozy and ban the burkha in our country.
The veil is simply a tool of oppression which is being used to alienate and control women under the guise of religious freedom.
My parents moved here from Kashmir in the 1960s. They brought with them their faith and their traditions – but they also understood that they were starting a new life in a country where Islam was not the main religion.
My mother has always worn traditional Kashmiri clothes – the salwar kameez, a long tunic worn over trousers, and the chador, which is like a pashmina worn around the neck or over the hair.
When she found work in England, she adapted her dress without making a fuss. She is still very much a traditional Muslim woman, but she swims in a normal swimming costume and jogs in a tracksuit.
Jessica Valenti at Feministing:
Banning the burqa doesn't further women's rights – it limits them. Now, obviously there's a difference in Islamic women's dress from the hijab to the burqa – but legally banning any of them erases all agency from Muslim women. (I'm especially wary of Sarkozy's comments and this potential ban given that France banned headscarves from public schools in 2004.)
If you're interested in hearing Muslim women talking about the hijab, here are a couple of interesting vids.
Amad at Muslim Matters:
This French President, described in a recent book (failed to be blocked from publication — so much for free speech!) as an uncaring father and a womanizer wants to now tell Muslim women how to dress. I'd like to ask Sarkozy that if he can tell us how we should dress, then under equal rights of the "republic", why can't Muslims tell French women how not to dress? We are even willing to donate some extra clothing material to help the near-nudity on display everyday in this model nation!
For a President to devote significant time to the hijab in an important speech to the Parliament, the first one since the 19th century, is a clear indication that Sarkozy is running out of ideas to save the country from its economic and social ills. By letting the public focus on a clearly divisive issue, but one whose inherent prejudice bonds French citizens across the political spectrum, Sarkozy wants to use this "coalition of bigots" to distract the public from real problems.
At The Corner, Veronique de Rugy:
I have mixed feelings about this one. I am generally against all prohibition, and I am against encroachments of the freedom or religion. However, I also have read enough (here for instance) about the treatment and condition of Muslim women to find the Burqa troublesome (as the visible sign of their oppression).
That said, although almost all societies do enact dress codes that reflect their notions of decency, banning the burqa from the street seems to me to be both a step too far and, quite possibly, counter-productive. What Sarkozy should do, however, is ensure that his fellow-citizens are as free to criticize the burqa as he is. In a country that stamps on free speech in the name of combatting the bogeyman of "Islamophobia," it's by no means clear that this indeed the case.
The question remains, though. Would a ban of the burqa be a women's rights victory? Or a regressive act that would stifle the free will of women who wish to wear the burqa? Personally, I'm not in favor of banning any sort of clothing, religiously based or not, with a few exceptions such as making people remove face-coverings for ID photos, court appearances, for the police, and similar situations.
If a woman wants to wear a burqa out in public, and she's doing it completely by her own free will, there is no reason why she shouldn't be able to and a law banning the burqa would be a slap in the face for women's rights.
However, if it turns out that women generally only wear the burqa to avoid being abused by jealous males, banning the burqa would be an important step toward women advancing in society.
In 2003, when France decided to ban the Islamic veil from schools, there was at least an arguable case that state schools represented a public – and therefore necessarily secular — space. But to propose that hijab and niqab be expelled from French society is a more radical idea, one that carries a strong whiff of secular absolutism.
Sarkozy says that the Islamic veil is "not the French republic's idea of women's dignity." Of course it isn't. It would be a great shame if all French women began covering their faces. (Imagine if we could not behold the elegant features of Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni.) But is it not an equal, or even greater, affront to women's independence to demand that they show their faces? What if a woman chooses to hide her face from the world? Is that not a legitimate expression of her freedom, religious or otherwise?
UPDATE #2: Michelle Goldberg in American Prospect:
A ban on burqas would, of course, be unthinkable in the American context, because our understanding of church state separation, and of free speech, is quite different than the one prevailing in France. "Here in America, the separation of church and state is about the protection of religion from the state," Scott says. "In France, the idea is to protect individuals from the claims of religion. The state can intervene on behalf of individuals when they are thought to be oppressed by some communal group."
Yet such state interventions can end up working against individual women. Last year, for example, a Moroccan woman married to a French man was denied French citizenship because she wore a burqa at her husband's request. The ruling declared her "radical practice of her religion (and) behavior in society incompatible with the essential values of the French community, notably the principle of equality between the sexes." According to the scholar Cécile Laborde, political parties, intellectuals and journalists praised the decision almost unanimously.
Likewise, Sarkozy's prospective burqa ban has significant feminist support, including the backing of the feminist group Ni Putes Ni Soumises, or Neither Whores Nor Doormats, which has its roots in France's Muslim ghettos. It's worth taking the position of Ni Putes Ni Soumises seriously, since the struggle against Islamic fundamentalism has been, for them, a matter of life and death. Like the Somali-Dutch feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, their activism serves as a crucial corrective to multicultural pieties.
Ultimately, though, there's no evidence that most burqa-clad French women regard themselves as oppressed. "There are women who wear burqas who are not being forced by anyone, who think that form of modesty is appropriate for who they want to be in the world," says Scott. "It's hard to distinguish between them and those who are being forced." And so in the end, a ban putatively passed to further women's rights could instead impinge on their freedom, and take from them something they value. Even worse, it could lead to those in the most fundamentalist of households being trapped inside their homes altogether. It would be cruel to limit these women's options in the name of liberation, even if their clothes are a rebuke to the secularism that the French rightly hold sacred.
UPDATE: Matthew Yglesias:
A woman whose husband and/or other male relations have enough power over her to force her into a burqa against her will is only going to be forced by those same men further underground by this sort of rule. The only kind of person who would be genuinely unveiled by this kind of legal measure would be someone with enough autonomy to be in a position to choose compliance with the law over compliance with tradition. The French have a strong tradition not just of secularism, but of a kind of illiberal egalitarianism that holds that everyone should really be the same, and I think it tends to push them toward measures like this that don't ultimately help anyone.

Pre-school classrooms for 3's and 4's at The Village School are separated into six to eight individual play areas called interest centers or discovery centers. Anywhere from two to four children can play in each area. Each area is designated for its particular role in the pre-school landscape, for example Dramatic play, Blocks, Art, Manipulatives, Science, etc. The equipment in each area is chosen for its ability to teach and entertain children on different levels of development. The teacher also enhances the learning environments with special props, games, books, music, art materials, etc. to foster learning of specific concepts.
Most of the learning is still hands-on.
Ratios for 3's and 4's are 1:15 and 1:18
Basic Discovery Centers
During a normal day, pre-school and older children will have the opportunity to play in eight basic centers:
- Dramatic Play
- Art
- Sand
- Water
- Science
- Manipulatives
- Blocks
- Quiet (library/listening)
Please consider an important fact about daily play activities for your child. Our selection of toys, equipment and activities is done to promote social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Bright dark ruby, staining with no edge. This is, I believe, THE most perfumed wine I have ever smelled in my life. Hyperbole aside, it is BRAIN-NUMBING and NOSTRIL ORGASMIC the amount of floral and nectar contained in an early breathe of this thing. Piles of Natal Plum and Gardenia clog the senses, Lilies waving along a wall of Jasmine. An oaky beauty also shines, polishing the perfect tidbit of honey Euro funk and cellar you HAVE to have in an IGT like this. But it's a BABY. The floral blows off soon and leaves grainy fruit and petrichor, not slutty–thin to a razor point.
Don't let these labels confuse you. I've had a hard enough time keeping them straight in the cellar. There's GIGINO and GIGETTA and GIGIO, all very monochromatic and similar. I would hate to be a shop-keep in a wineshop. Seriously, they can't even keep the BV 'Napa Valley' out of the 'Rutherford' and the CSJ 'California' out of the 'Sonoma'. I had a shop owner in Napa tell me once they discontinued Nickel & Nickel because the plethora of labels they produce are too repetitious. These three are VARY hard to keep straight. I reviewed the GIGETTO here. Still, the labels are well-done, and the trio look great together.
In the mouth, almost-100% Sangiovese typicity strikes hard. Well fruited, but nothing even approaching 'over-ripe' and the dagger of acidity pokes and twists its way in to every crevasse. Spicy and sharp, the absolute infantism of this wine strikes again hard. Such an unbelievable food-wine, it just BEGS for rich spicy sauces, buttery reductions and aged meat. Bright and lively, while still maintaining an elegance and poise telling you it means business. A bitter wash of tannin out the tarry back door makes you want to cram your nose into it again. Fun to drink now and polishing well for at LEAST a decade. Good luck keeping your hands off it that long.

A bill that results in further restrictions on sexual education for Alaskan public schools has officially become law in the state.
Governor Bill Walker was faced with a deadline — he could either sign, veto or ignore the bill. If he left House Bill 156 unsigned, it would become law. After receiving opinions from both supporters and critics on the topic, he chose to allow the bill to stand:
"This was a very close call for me," Walker said in a statement. "I received a lot of input on this legislation—from both sides. Given that this bill will have a broad and wide-ranging effect on education statewide, I have decided to allow HB 156 to become law without my signature."
The bill will require teachers of sexual education in the state to either hold a valid teaching certificate and work within the school, or to teach the subject under the supervision of a certified teacher at the school. In addition, all materials used in the class must be reviewed and approved by a school board and the materials must be made available for review by parents, writes Matt Buxton for NewsMiner.
Any "class or program in sex education, human reproduction education, or human sexuality education" will be included under the new law.
Senator Mike Dunleavy has pushed for increased restrictions on sexual education programs in the state for quite some time. Prior to including the measure within House Bill 156, he had proposed a must more restrictive Senate Bill 89 which would have banned organizations that offer abortion services, such as Planned Parenthood, from offering sex-ed courses in schools. That bill never made it past the House.
Dunleavy has referred to the issue as one of parental rights, which he reiterated on his Facebook page late last week:
"You put the rights of parents and children, as well as the needs of schools, ahead of special interest groups that want to take away our rights and control our public schools," he wrote. "This bill goes along way in reiterating the inherent rights of parents."
The bill faced opposition from educators and legislators, only passing by a small margin after numerous failed attempts. Those who opposed the bill argued that it would increase the barriers in place between students and the information necessary for safe decisions about sex to be made.
In addition, some shared concerns that the restrictions placed by the bill would more strongly effect schools in rural areas, which depend more on volunteer educators to teach the course.
"This is a politically driven attempt to control curriculum in our schools," said school board Vice President Michael O'Brien. "The fact that this is now being called a bill about curriculum control is a bait-and-switch, and is not something that anyone should be over-joyed about."
Meanwhile, bill supporters said critics misunderstand the intentions of the bill. Walker said the provisions were meant to instill parental involvement help to start conversations between parents and their children.
Other measures are also included in the bill, including the repeal of a provision that required 70% of state funding to be used within the classroom. Doing so lessens the hardship faced by rural districts where operating costs are typically higher. In addition, a two-year statewide hold will be placed on state testing while a replacement is sought out for the standardized test used throughout the state.

Metropolitan Dr. Mar Mikhael of Edessa, O.S. J.
Primate (Chief Hierarch) of the Province
of the Americas and the Far East
When the Archimandrite Mikhael was released from the Chinese communist concentration camps in 1973, he was sent to New Zealand for six weeks of rest and recuperation. He then was immediately reassigned to the United States. During the meeting of the Synod of Bishops on the 26th 30th June 1974, he was elected and consecrated as the Coadjutor Metropolitan with the Right of Succession. During this Synod, he refused election twice, on the third nomination, the metropolitan and the bishops informed him that they were going to invoke his vow of canonical obedience in the name of the Holy Spirit, to obey the Synod of Bishops and accept election. On the 30th of June 1974, the feast of the Twelve Holy Apostles, he was duly consecrated. On the 29th December 1974, he assumed the Metropolitan See and a debt of over US $750,000. He paid the debt off in less than three years. Since that time, the Province has never been in debt again.
During his 30 years as the Chief Hierarch, he has observed the Province grow over 700% every decade. The last census revealed 2.7 million Christians within the province, which encompasses: North, Central, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Korean Japan, and Germany.
The first Metropolitan, His Beatitude, Metropolitan Dr. Mar David of Edessa, O.H.S. (nee: His Serene Highness, Prince Stanislaus, Count of Czernowitz (Seine Durchlaucht, Prinz Stanislaus, Graf von Czernowitz)) of blessed memory brought the church to these United States in 1934 from Europe. He further began the process of not limiting church membership to its ethnic origins. He began to meet the spiritual needs of the Coptic, Syrian, and Chaldean peoples who lacked their own priests and bishops, then to the American peoples who were seeking a deeper relationship with God through Liturgy in their own English language. In 1951, the Holy Liturgy was begun to be celebrated in English-no longer in Aramaic, the language in Jesus (Aramaic was reserved for Holy Week only). As the fourth Metropolitan, Metropolitan Dr. Mar Mikhael has continued and expanded upon this belief and practise. He believes by leading by example. He has expanded the jurisdiction personallypersonally training missionaries, personally establishing medical stations, personally raising funds, etc. into the rural areas of Canada, Korea, into the jungles of Brazil, from the German communities into the poorest sections of Argentina, Peru, Columbia, to Central America, now into Australia and finally into Germany. He brought German registered nurses who are cloistered nuns (O.S.J.) to care for the discarded newborn A.I.D.S. infants and toddlers until they fall asleep in the Lord and enter Heaven. Now there are two such homes for these special infants, which accept no funds from any governmental source.
He teaches the traditional Christian faith, morality, and values. He celebrates both the traditional and the Charismatic Holy Liturgies with ease in the language of the people with whom he is withfrom the depth of his great love for the Holy Liturgy.
He entered the Charismatic Renewal in 1972. He has taught, preached, conducted seminars, conducted healing services and celebrated the Charismatic Healing Liturgies with the anointing with Holy Oils throughout these United States, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, India, Korea, England, Scotland, Ireland, Argentina, Peru, Brazil, and Mexico. He still does so today. In spite of what appears to be his physical limitations, when the Anointing of the Holy Spirit falls upon him and the congregation, he appears to glide along the floor, anointing the sick, the suffering, and the dying. When he goes to the Orthodox peoples with the Miraculous Icons (rescued by the Russian grandmothers when Stalin was destroying many of the Russian churches and cathedrals), even the stanch Orthodox peoples have received their healings because of their faith. (The miraculous Icons were rescued in Russia by the Metropolitans cousin, the Baron Roman von Schafnitzel who now lives in Hawaii. The baron spared none of his time nor his German training and talents to properly restore and preserve these icons to their near original condition.) Once the icons were re-consecrated, anointed with the Holy Chrism and solemnly placed in the cathedral, their miraculous powers soon became evident to all present. They have now travelled throughout South America: restoring sight to the blind, healing severe diabetesbrittle insulin dependent diabetics, leprosy, the lame walking, CP patients cured, etc. all documented by the patients physicians.
Although the Metropolitan is known for his keen sense of humour, always speaking the truth even when doing so embarrasses himself, he has chosen not to be politically correct, to never compromise the Holy Scriptures, the Sacred (Oral and Written) Traditions of the Church, nor the Canons of the Church, nor the Canons of this Patriarchal Church.
As a Father Confessor, he has always been harder on himself but tender hearted upon a repentant sinner. He seeks to publicise the local clergy and not himself. He rarely grants interviews, nor engages in secular or ecclesiastical politics. Why? The former is boring and the latter does not give Glory to the Lord! However, he warns other hierarchs (bishops) of other historical sacramental jurisdictions (churches) when they first meet: if you desire to play church politics, please let us know, coming out the gate. We have only one bad habit in life in terms of church politicswe shall win! We prefer to be brothers in Christ. The choice is yours. You must choose. Just let us know!
What formed this unique hierarch who does not utilise a chauffeur nor lives in an episcopal mansion but who suddenly appears where you least expect him?
Born His Serene Highness, Prince Heinrich XXVI Reuß (Seine Durchlaucht, Prinz Heinrich XXVI Reuß) on the 3rd of February 1942 in what became East Germany, the son of His Serene Highness, Prince (Fürst) Heinrich XXV Reuß (an Orthodox priest) and Her Royal Highness, Princess Maria Obrenovic-Brankovic of Serbia, the family escaped from Nazi Germany into Switzerland. His fathers aunt (and his great aunt) was Her Majesty, the Kaiserin Hermine (Reuß) the second wife of Kaiser Wilhelm II in exile. His baptismal godmother was Her Imperial Highness, the Princess Royal Viktoria Louise (the only daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II). He was educated in West Germany, Canada, the United States, and England.
As a member of the Order of St. John (Knights of Malta), the oldest medical and nursing Order in the Church (both east and west) founded during the Crusades, he was ordained a priest in 1968. He established medical and surgical stations and hospices in Southeast Asia India, and South America. When he was released from the Chinese communist prison camps, he was reassigned to the United States.
In his private office, nowhere are to be found his two earned doctorates (medicine and laws) nor any of his 47-honourary doctorates. Over his desk are hung: the full family achievement of arms with its motto: Ich bau auf Gott (I build upon/trust in Gott), a picture of his priestly ordination day with his parents, his consecration document as the metropolitan, and the very first letter of congratulations upon his consecrations as the metropolitan: from the then Governor of the State of California and later President of the United States, Ronald Reagan (the beginning of numerous letters between the two). A single plaque sits upon his writing desk: To love as Christ loves requires a daily decision.
In spite of his ever- increasing physical disabilities over the years (which according to his physicians are the results of the communist imprisonment, the daily physical beatings and torture in 1972-1973 for the crime of being a priest, he maintains a schedule a normal priestly schedule as well as fulfilling the metropolitans diplomatic and hierarchal schedule. He mixes with ease among presidents and prime ministers, monarchs and nobles, ambassadors and general consuls, hierarchs and cardinals, clergy of all denominations, beggars and lepers, politicians and parishioners, etc. In spite of his two canes and knee braces, he still travels up the Andes Mountains, up the Korean Mountains to the Abbey, into Peru. Chile, Mexico, throughout the United States, Germany, Austria, Canada, --on the go for over 6 months every year and traveling well over 300,000 miles.
Unlike most other hierarchs and bishops, for over 28 years, he has traveled without any priestly staff in attendance. He believes that priests should be saving souls, not chauffeuring him about in an automobile. He has always appeared where he is least expected: relieving sick priests, priests who need a vacation, unexpectedly as a wedding anniversary relief for his married priests, etc.
Anyone and everyone can dial the chancellery telephone number and can speak with him directlywithout having to go through five priests to reach him.
He has outlived two Coadjutor Metropolitans and often drives his fellow bishops crazyas the vicar-bishop of Argentina once stated, He can still out work and out minister all of us. That is why we all pray daily and earnestly: God GRANT him many, many, many- - - more years!!!
The Metropolitan has been listed, under his family name in Marquis Whos Who in America, Religion, and in Medicine and Healthcare.
The Eastern Catholic Archdiocese has been listed in Encyclopaedia of American Religions 7th Edition and updated into the 8th edition which shall also be on-line.

JPMorgan Chase's internal report on the "London Whale" trading losses was long on detail (132 pages worth) and short on surprises.
Although no one escapes a share of the blame for the more than $6 billion loss – and CEO Jamie Dimon had his pay cut from $23.1 million in 2011 to $11.5 million in 2012 – nothing in the analysis appears to recognize the inherent difficulty associated with the kind of trading involved. Rather, the report's bottom line centers on the importance of having enough well-trained risk professionals on hand, and ensuring that they are listened to by everyone from the rank-and-file traders right up to CEO Jamie Dimon himself. That's an unsurprising point of view, particularly from an institution headed by someone who famously described the 2008 financial crisis as one of those things that rolls around every five to seven years.
But the assumption that risk can be managed with the right people, the right models and the right systems, doing the right things at each step along the way, is in itself a fallacy. The risk that this report creates is that the bank will take comfort in a conviction that its new models, people, systems, policies and procedures now cover every contingency. Based on that conviction, it could take on more risk in quest of profits.
The JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) bankers may understand the vast majority of those risks, but the odds are that one day, something that couldn't have been anticipated – the infamous black swan – will come along and wreak havoc once more. After all, had one asked Dimon what he thought of the bank's risk procedures prior to the Whale trades, he would likely have said that gaps and weaknesses revealed during the financial crisis had been tightened up.
While the JPMorgan Chase report said what investors and regulators needed to hear – it provided a detailed analysis of what went on and outlined strategies to address it – the document would have been more convincing had its authors simply acknowledged that ultimately, not every risk can be anticipated and removed. Perhaps they know better – after all, they're in the business of risk transfer – or perhaps it isn't politically acceptable to say that, just as one day we'll die, one day every organization will find that, despite careful planning, something goes awry.
The one respect in which the London Whale report is accurate is in its evaluation of the minimal role of compensation policies in the fiasco at the Chief Investment Office. "There does not appear to be any fundamental flaw in the way compensation was and is structured for CIO personnel," the report concludes. "What the incident does highlight is the particular importance of clear communication to front office personnel engaged in activities not expected to generate profits (such as the winding down of a trading portfolio) that they will nonetheless be compensated fairly for the achievement of the Firm's objectives, including effective risk management."
The members of Ina Drew's Synthetic Credit Portfolio team in London might have been thinking that they would score a big bonus if they got the trade right. But the worst of the problem was the way they reacted when things started to go wrong; traders didn't act promptly enough to close out their positions. Instead, the report points out, they "did not show the full extent" of the losses.
It's called career risk, and in this case, it's related to compensation. Managers needed to do a better job of telling the team that they would still be "properly compensated" for safeguarding the bank's wellbeing and minimizing losses, even if they negatively affected the company's overall profits. The traders need to understand that, in many circumstances, managing risk and minimizing losses can be of as much value to the firm as capturing profits.

Honolulu Community College Chancellor Erika Lacro received the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Patriot Award on January 9, 2017. Nominated by Brent Rubio, Sergeant First Class with the Hawai'i Army National Guard and chemistry instructor with the College.
"Chancellor Lacro has shown sincere commitment to supporting not only the faculty and staff that serve in the National Guard and Reserves, but also to hundreds of our student veterans on campus by giving her support for VA programs on campus. This kind of example from the very top of the Honolulu CC leadership creates a campus-wide culture of support for our veterans, guard personal, and reservists," shares Rubio, who has served with the Guard since 1998 and is also a member of the 111th Army Band.
ESGR, a Department of Defense program, seeks to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. For more information visit www.esgr.mil.

Stopping in Wellington on a cruise? Get out for half a day and back to the ship on time with this easy itinerary of top spots around Wellington's Harbour northern fringe.
Walk a few minutes from the Petone Railway Station to La Bella Italia, an authentic Italian restaurant, deli and shop with an amazing atmosphere and the best of NZ and Italy on a plate. Pick up supplies for back on-board or grab some snacks here for later or in the "street sized pantry" of international food stores minutes up the road in Jackson Street - with over 60 eateries within 900 metres.
Still on your feet, take a stroll down Jackson Street. It's lined with historic buildings that are now filled with cafés, boutique shopping and independent retailers. Wellington is known for its quality coffee and Caffeind have some of the best. Stop in for a caffeine hit and home baking.
Petone Historical Jail and Police Station, which is halfway along Jackson Street, is a great location for learning about the area's history. Keep the history theme going at the Petone Settlers Museum, which is a few blocks over on the Foreshore. The place where the museum stands marks the spot where New Zealand's first settlers from Europe came ashore from their ships.
Breathe in the sea air as you walk along to Alfred Memelink Gallery. Here you can purchase a canvas painting of iconic Wellington locations and see work by New Zealand artists. The gallery is special too because it overlooks Petone Beach and Wellington Harbour.
The Dowse Art Museum is your next stop. This design and craft museum has an international reputation, regularly changing exhibitions programme and vibrant events. The gift shop stocks New Zealand designed and made products and there's a café next door. In Dowse Square, fill your drink bottle with artesian water from an underground bore.
Get back on the bus and travel down to Zany Zeus in Moera. Their organic dairy products are something to write home about. Fill up on their halloumi sandwiches, sample brinza and other cheeses or order an affogato – which is particularly good with chocolate Ghana ice cream.
Pick up the bus again on Randwick Road and ride it out to Eastbourne, a seaside village with a variety of shops. Enjoy sea views or get adventurous; at Days Bay (just before Eastbourne) hire a canoe or kayak at the wharf and paddle around the bays.
The Days Bay Pavilion sells ice creams or try their wood-fired pizza and Chocolate Dayz café just up the road is a great spot for a caffeine hit.
The East by West Ferry sails from Days Bay over to Queens Wharf in the centre of Wellington city. If you're heading home early, then stopping at Matiu/Somes Island is another great walking opportunity. It's an island in the middle of Wellington Harbour and a tranquil retreat for wildlife. You might even spot a tuatara.
All possible on a Explorer Day Pass for unlimited travel on buses and trains for a day - catch a train to Petone to get you started.
Or simply take the number 83 bus, every half hour from any bus stop in central Wellington, through Petone and Lower Hutt, around the harbour's edge to Days Bay. Then cruise back to Wellington on a harbour ferry - buy a ticket on-board - though might want to stay the night in a seaside cottage instead.

Border Cantos: Sight & Sound Explorations from the Mexican-American Border opens Feb. 18 at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville. The free exhibit, a unique collaboration between American photographer Richard Misrach and Mexican American sculptor/composer Guillermo Galindo, uses the power of art to explore the complex issues surrounding the United States-Mexico border.
Misrach, who has photographed the border since 2004, documents landscapes and objects, including items left behind by migrants. His large-scale photographs, along with grids of smaller photos, highlight issues surrounding migration and its effect on regions and people.
Responding to these photographs, Galindo fashioned sound-generating sculptures from items Misrach collected along the border, such as water bottles, Border Patrol "drag tires," spent shotgun shells, ladders, and sections of the border wall itself. The sounds they produce give voices to people through the personal belongings they have left behind.
The exhibit is on view through April 24. Presented in English and Spanish, Border Cantos offers perspective on the challenges of migration, inviting people to bridge boundaries. Admission to Crystal Bridges and Border Cantos is free.
"We're artists; we're not politicians. We want to give people the experience of the border, and to get acquainted with the immigrants' journey. To make it palpable. To make it human." — Guillermo Galindo, referring to himself and Richard Misrach.
The exhibition, Border Cantos, was born of a chance encounter at an event in San Francisco in 2011 when Misrach attended a performance by Galindo featuring his original compositions played on instruments he constructed of objects found at the US-Mexico border. By the next year, the two artists started to develop their work in tandem. Misrach began thinking of his photographs as having a musical quality to them and Galindo's compositions materialized into images, each interpreting a landscape laden with remnants of individual's journeys.
"While the topic of the US-Mexico border is challenging and even divisive at times, Misrach and Galindo seek to bridge divides instead of creating barriers. The artwork in the exhibition creates a space for visitors to develop a deeper understanding of the complicated issues surrounding the border," said Ali Demorotski, exhibition curator at Crystal Bridges.
As part of Border Cantos, Crystal Bridges created an advisory committee with local Hispanic/Latino community leaders to receive feedback and guidance on the exhibition, programs, and interpretive elements in order to be more culturally inclusive. The museum has partnered with groups and individuals to provide supplemental programs and expand the conversation into schools, churches, libraries, and other community-based organizations. Members of the museum's exhibition team have also been facilitating speaker's bureau events around the community. These presentations provide an overview of the exhibition, offer insights, and spark conversations about the complex topics in Border Cantos. For more information, visit here.
"Border Cantos helps us engage a broad audience by offering programs outside the walls of the museum and a completely bilingual exhibition with the addition of Spanish-language materials and tours," said Bigelow.
In addition to the works of art in the gallery, Border Cantos provides resources and programs to deepen understanding of the exhibition and subject matter:
- Border Map: just inside the entrance, the map gives visitors an overview of the history and geography of the US-Mexico border.
- Listening Stations: provide recordings of Galindo interacting with objects that are now on view in the gallery.
- Community Response Labels: written by members of the Border Cantos advisory committee who each shared a personal reflection about a work that stood out to them.
- Conversation Prompts: intended to facilitate conversation and thought, these open-ended questions invite visitors to draw on their own experiences to relate to the exhibition.
- Interactive Activities: located at the exit of the exhibition, visitors are invited to write their personal migration or heritage story on a sticky note and place it on a large map of the world. In addition, there are four short videos from members of the Northwest Arkansas community providing stories about their experiences crossing the US-Mexico border and immigrating into the region.
- Sculpture: Fuente de lágrimas (Fountain of tears) by Guillermo Galindo is located near the entrance to the gallery space.
- Brochure: available at the exhibition exit. Instead of a guide through the exhibition, this is a takeaway which provides additional information about the artists and programming.
- Exhibition Tours: Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays, 1 to 2 p.m. (English) and NEW Sundays, 2 to 3 p.m. (Spanish). Enjoy a tour through the temporary exhibition with one of Crystal Bridges' knowledgeable Gallery Guides.
- Restaurant: inspired by Border Cantos, the chefs of the museum's restaurant, Eleven, have created a menu that celebrates the culinary heritage of our neighbors to the south with a new Border Cantos Tasting Menu.
- Catalog: Border Cantos catalog features photographs by Richard Misrach, instruments and graphic scores by Guillermo Galindo, and introduction and text by Josh Kun. The catalog will be available for purchase in the museum store. Published by Aperture, April 2016
- Public Programs: Crystal Bridges will offer a full roster of programs tied to the exhibition, including a free, Opening Spotlight Lecture with Richard Misrach on February 17 and a Performance Lab with the Quartet by Guillermo Galindo on February 24.

Every time a Marvel film comes out, non-fans clamor for it to fail, hearing things like "this is the time a Marvel movie will flop" and like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man, it didn't and just made the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe a tad better.
I've seen all the Marvel films in the cinemas and this would be the first time I review one properly and try not spoil it in the process, more of that after the break.
Doctor Strange in a nutshell for our non-comic readers is Harry Potter that decided to become a superhero. He's a "magician", or as his proper title is, The Sorcerer Supreme and with his knowledge and skills, he defends Earth from the supernatural and mundane threats the planets faces.
This is an origin superhero movie which means the first half would be Stephen Strange's backstory, motivations, and aspirations would be laid out and once the eventful occurrence happens one after the other which changes his life, he'll explore his new gifts, train and use it for the greater good. You've might have seen the same trope one two many times but it doesn't matter because the execution of how they did it here for Doctor Strange made it feel fresh like it was the first time and Marvel have succeeded in doing this on all of their films to date.
The visual of this film are mind-bending and epilepsy inducing eye-candy that it wouldn't be as fun if you were watching this other than a big screen. Examples of these visuals are when Strange starts "opening" his mind, any scene where they battle and buildings are folding unto themselves, and the effects of their spells. This is the best Marvel movie by far visually for me. Oh, the best soundtrack goes to Guardians of the Galaxy and best story and action scenes go to Winter Soldier.
The story was properly paced and wouldn't induce any yawns, conversations between the characters are engaging and would make you laugh out loud throughout the movie. The character development of Strange is okay, they justified his unbelievable aptitude with the mystic arts by stating his natural talent and how he has a photographic memory. Mordo's character is well devised that you'd empathize with his sense of justice and make him relatable even after a certain scene. As for the rest them, I'll put it on the criticism section later.
The movie was great and had scenes that made the whole theater cheer and clapped. It followed a not so strange formula and made it work.
The film is far from perfect so here are some of my criticisms:
1. The Ancient One who uses an anti-aging cream of forbidden source shouldn't look like a caucasian for me, she's been protecting the Earth for centuries and Kamar-Taj is in Tibet so you would think a Tibetan/Asian would've been a more appropriate cast but then they wouldn't be able to market it well in China.
2. The use of magic in fight scenes. These are the most powerful sorcerers and sorceress and they still resort to hand to hand combat, I know the artifacts they use are powerful and looks cooler on screen but if I could use my ranged spells first to incapacitate, I would or do some elemental attacks bending style, before going into melee attack.
3. The climatic battle gave off the same feeling as the Green Lantern movie where one of the main villains in the comics was shown on the first film and was defeated in such a way that it felt it was too easy. It's not how Strange did it because it was smart and original but the time allotted for it that it seems rushed.
Though the first half followed the usual tropes of Marvel movies it was outweighed by the great visuals, pacing, humor, and how they integrated Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by the end of the movie. I and my wife really enjoyed the movie and even my 14-month-year-old son who woke up in the middle of the film that has short attention span got hooked.
So if you are still on the fence if you'll watch it in the cinema or just wait for a you know what copy, then definitely go to the movie house and if you have the budget, watch it in iMax 3D and get your money's worth on the visuals alone.

Makale özeti ve diğer detaylar.
The aim of this study is to help a child with autism in an inclusive preschool programme to introduce herself, to ask for help or information and to acquire skills to participate in daily activities through social stories. In this study, one of the single subject methods called multiple probe model with probe condition across behaviors is used. In order to teach social skills such as introducing herself, asking for help or information and participate in daily activities, social stories are written and these stories are visualized through pictures. The intended social skills are taught through social stories to the partcipant autistic child, then it is evaluated through observations whether these social skills are performed or not in the inclusive preschool programme. After criterion is met for teaching of intended social skills, withdrawal sessions of stories are done. Then, the data are collected through follow up observations two weeks later. At the end of the study, the effectiveness of social skill instruction through social stories and the follow up data show permanency of the taught skills.

Jan. 9
32-cent hike in
tax rate discussed
by Valerie Verkamp
Landmark reporter
The Park Hill Board of Education will vote Jan. 9 on a resolution for a proposed 32-cent levy increase to help raise money for the district's new Future Learner Program, known as FLiP, as well as building projects throughout the district.
Should a majority of the seven-member board of education support the tax initiative and approve the language of the ballot question, the measure could end up before voters as early as April 8, the next general municipal Election Day.
The current Park Hill school tax levy, which includes the debt service fund levy and operating levy, is 5.5324 per $100 valuation. The suggested 32-cent levy would hike the operating portion of the tax levy from 4.9217 to 5.2417.
The debt service fund levy is fixed at $0.6107 per $100 assessed valuation.
The debt service fund levy is determined based on the repayment schedule for indebtedness and is exempt from the imposed tax rate ceiling.
Adding an additional 32 cents would make the total overall levy $5.8524.
According to the district's proposed funding strategy report, the proposed 32-cent levy would cost property owners with a home valued at $200,000 an additional $37 during the 2015 fiscal year, $55 during the 2016 fiscal year, $78 during the 2017 fiscal year, and $122 during the 2018 fiscal year.
The financial impact to homeowners actually increases over time since the program is implemented over a five-year period.
The measure would require a simple majority (2/3%) to pass. The language of the potential ballot question may read:
"Shall the Park Hill School District of Platte County, Missouri be authorized to increase the adjusted operating tax levy of the District to $5.2417 per $100 of assessed valuation, and to use such funds for the operation, maintenance and improvement of school facilities including funding technology improvements to implement the District's One to One Initiative and improve safety measures in all school facilities?
If this proposition is approved, the adjusted operating tax levy of the district is estimated to increase 32 cents from $4.9217 currently to $5.2417 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation."
The FLiP program, first implemented throughout the district's fifth grade classrooms during the 2013-2014 school year, was funded through reserves. A recent evaluation of the FLiP program indicates those surveyed report higher levels of problem solving, communication, and creativity.
School officials say the money generated from the proposed 32-cent levy increase will go toward teacher training and technological devices related to FLiP.
District officials also say the proposed 32-cent levy increase may provide funding to beef up school safety by making it possible to make the recommended safety improvements outlined in a recent safety audit. Additional security cameras, audio-visual phone systems, upgraded intercom system, interior and exterior door replacement, push bottom classroom door locks, police radio and public channels, as well as the reformation of the front entryway at both high schools are listed as potential needs in the safety audit.
While exploring different sources of revenue to fund the Future Learner Program, the district made a $12,463,862 reduction in district expenditures since 2011. A reduction in legal fees, the refinancing of 2004 bond debt, a reduction of employee overtime, a reduction of travel, and the redesign model for general liability coverage are listed as cost savings. Data suggest that the expenditures per average daily attendee have dropped slightly since 2010.
The Park Hill Board of Education will vote on whether to put the measure on the ballot during the Jan. 9, 2014 meeting.

Enceladus exhibits electrical scarring.
A previous Picture of the Day reported that the Cassini Saturn orbiter flew through one of the plumes of vapor that erupt from the southern plains of 494-kilometer-wide Enceladus, a small moon, so cold no chemical reactions can occur. It was assumed by mission specialists that the plumes were erupting like geysers from beneath the surface.
In December 2013 NASA announced that giant "geysers" were erupting from the south pole of Europa, one of Jupiter's largest moons. Those plumes are thought to come from cracks in Europa's surface, similar to the "tiger stripes" on Saturn's moon Enceladus. Could both moons be experiencing similar effects from their gas giant primaries?
The consensus view of astronomy sees friction and gravity affecting celestial bodies. Saturn's gravity is thought to act like a tidal force: Enceladus is squeezed and pulled in Saturn's gravitational grip. Its internal structure is said to stretch and compress, creating enough heat to form a liquid ocean more than 15 kilometers beneath the ice. The same "kneading" from Jupiter's gravity is used to explain the eruptions from Europa.
In the case of Enceladus, observations of a star that recently passed behind a plume from the Baghdad Sulcus region revealed too little gas in the eruption to account for an increase in dust output. A counter-intuitive fact about the plumes is that dust output increases when Enceladus is farthest from Saturn in its orbit. Planetary scientists thought that water vapor in the plumes was being affected by tidal forces from Saturn. Instead, it was the jets that were changing.
Cassini found electron beams emanating from Saturn's northern hemisphere corresponding with auroral brightness on Saturn, proving that Enceladus is ejecting charged particles along field-aligned electric currents. Rather than dust and vapor, Enceladus and Saturn exchange charged particles.
Streams of charged particles from the Sun are captured by Saturn's magnetosphere where they are held together by its magnetotail. Cassini observed particles in Saturn's magnetotail changing: ionized water ions disappeared while H+ ions took their place, an observation consistent with charge flow (ionized particles) from Saturn's upper atmosphere. Saturn exists in a dynamic electrical relationship with its orbiting family.
A recent press release announced that hydrogen gas is included in the material erupting from Enceladus. Of course, the Cassini team believes that it is due to chemical reactions "…between the moon's rocky core and warm water from its subsurface ocean."
The problems with jets on Enceladus are similar to those that space scientists have with cometary jets. They are using the same weak theory of narrow surface vents above a chamber of hot water. There is no evidence for such vents, either on comets or on Enceladus. Instead, plasma jets travel across the surface of Enceladus because they are created by electric discharges. Electric arcs cut grooves as they accelerate material into space. The "volcanoes" on Jupiter's moon Io are a similar phenomenon that matches the Enceladus "plasma gun" effect.
Electric Universe advocate, Wal Thornhill wrote:
"The crucial discovery is the 'completely unexpected surprise' of the similarity of the chemistry of the jets of comets and Enceladus. It should not have been a surprise. The jets of both are an electric discharge phenomenon, heating the surface. The matter in the jets is coming from the surface and not the interior… The only difference between Enceladus and a comet is their orbits. If Enceladus were to follow a cometary orbit it would suffer electrical interactions with the solar plasma and appear a giant comet."

Health financing course on universal health coverage another success
The fifth WHO Barcelona Course on Health Financing took place on 16–20 March 2015 in Barcelona, Spain. Built around the theme of universal health coverage, the course reviewed ways of improving health system performance through better health financing policies.
The course brought together 54 participants from 25 countries in the WHO European Region. It was designed and delivered by WHO/Europe's Barcelona Office for Health Systems Strengthening in collaboration with WHO headquarters' health financing policy team. The participants included government officials, managers and experts from health insurance funds, and representatives of public health institutions, universities and international donor organizations.
About the course
The interactive course is organized around key policy issues relating to revenue collection, pooling, purchasing and benefit design. It systematically outlines policy instruments and their impact on financial protection, equity, efficiency, quality of care and transparency.
It combines comprehensive thinking about health systems and financing with helpful tools for analysis, policy design and implementation. Participants encounter examples from countries throughout the course, engage in solving real-life cases and develop lasting professional relationships.
As a challenge, participants in this year's course had the chance to engineer real structural reform in one country. In addition, the course addressed a number of key issues with which Member States grapple in their efforts to move towards universal health coverage and to find ways to maintain it in times of economic hardship.
Feedback from participants
"The most important thing about the course is the chance to share experiences and learn what countries do in terms of ensuring universal health coverage and protecting their people from financial crises. We can use these experiences in my country to improve the quality of health care and financial protection for patients," said Nicolae Jelamschi, Secretary of State for Health of the Republic of Moldova.
"Two aspects stood out: first, the quality of the lecturers and of the materials, with fresh information and useful country examples; second, the opportunity to network with all the people involved in the course," stated Severin Rakic, Head of the Public Health Institute of the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"I like the fact that the course is interactive and we get plenty of opportunities to make comments and ask questions. This is not just about theory," added Tony Flynn, Assistant Principal at the Irish Department of Health.
"I greatly appreciate the heterogeneity of the participants. Moreover, the course material is excellent, as is the way it is presented. It helps me a lot to see my daily work from a different perspective … with deeper and extended knowledge," commented Martin Van Den Boom, Technical Officer at WHO/Europe.
"The country case was a real highlight. It was interesting to implement what you hear in the lectures in a real case. People really contributed and it was a lot of fun. I am very happy with my decision to attend," said Panagiotis Papadopoulos, Scientific Adviser at the Parliament of Greece.

The Prophet ordered that all images be destroyed.
Is it sufficient to erase just the eyes, or the face, or the head ?
Praise be to Allaah.
The image is the face, which must be erased so that the image disappears, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade striking the "image". (Narrated by al-Bukhaari).
The meaning is that it is forbidden to strike the face, as was explained in other ahaadeeth. The fact that "image" means the face means that the facial features must be erased. And Allaah knows best.

I ought to be grateful that after Israeli journalist Ben-Dror Yemini began his talk at a Reform synagogue in New York last week by saying that he had asked for seven hours to address us, he proceeded to speak for only 90 minutes, passing over many of the slides in his power point on the Industry of Lies against Israel so that he could get us home at a respectable hour. I really thought we were in for a Castro-like drubbing!
Even at its abbreviated length, though, the talk was unsettling. There was one urgent question all evening: Why are so many young American Jews being drawn into criticism of Israel? Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch introduced Yemini in the sanctuary of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue by saying that Jewish children are "succumb"-ing to lies put forward by Omar Barghouti, a founder of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement.
Even Jews, even our own children, often succumb or are at least tempted by this industry of lies.
That concern was restated from the floor several times, by many of the 60 Jews gathered there, almost all about my age or older (60s). Why have our children fallen for Palestinian celebrities in their tailored suits?
Yemini, an advocate and author of 63, explained that in today's leftwing politics of "intersectionality," Israel is linked to colonialism and racism, and it doesn't matter to young Jews that far more people are dying in Somalia or Nigeria than in Palestine, or that Russia and Pakistan kill more civilians in combat. No, it's not about human rights, it's about who you are against: Israel. And these Jews are suffering from a Jewish sickness:
How is it that Palestinians took over the whole phenomenon of intersectionality? It's amazing. . . . You don't need me, you need a psychiatrist to understand this phenomenon.
And you see so many Jewish organizations that are part of the problem!. JVP for example. How they are celebrating a Palestinian terrorist. They are making a reception and honor her [Rasmeah Odeh] like if she is a big hero. . . And what she says in her speech, in the JVP: the destruction of Israel. And they're all clapping!
I mean, it's a sickness. It's not much more, it's a sickness. And part of the sickness is — it's we, the Jews.
What is this Jewish sickness? Yemini went on to say that young Jews are looking for tikkun olam, or social justice, but they are misguided.
I tell those Jewish students who look for tikkun olam as a part of their identity, if you look for tikkun olam, the best place is Israel. Because the contribution of Israel to humanity per capita is the highest in the world. But they don't know it! They have no idea. For them Israel is occupation. . . They just don't know!
He blamed Jewish charismatics for feeding these delusions.
We have to admit that some of the leaders of the whole phenomenon are Jews, from Chomsky to Norman Finkelstein to Judith Butler and Richard Falk and many others, and Sara Roy from Harvard — so many. And some of them define themselves as children of Holocaust survivors. Ah! Now we legitimate whatever they say which is almost antisemitic against Jews. Because demonization was the main tool of anti-Semites — and what they do now is demonization. It's a kind of a paradox, but it's happening.
This guy thinks about Jews more than I do, I have to admit! When someone criticized the New York Times, Yemini promptly pointed out:
And we also have to bear in mind that we are speaking about a Jewish newspaper.
Yemini's overall point was that Israel is not nearly as guilty of human rights abuses as other countries, but it is "paying the price for being a democracy."
When a man pointed out that Israel also lies about Palestinians, Yemini, a favorite of the rightwing Zionist Israeli American Council, dismissed the point:
You cannot compare an elephant with a mouse — you cannot. And the amount of lies against Israel — it's huge, it's really huge. And the amount of lies against Palestinians — I cannot compare it.
The crowd loved the presentation, but I found it embarrassing. Here is a liberal synagogue in New York performing acrobatic tricks of Nigerian and Russian whatabouttery to try and diminish the human rights abuses that are being done in our name, as Jews, and approved by our government, as Americans, under the pressure of the Israel lobby. That's why the young Jews are succumbing. Because they know this racket is the Jewish cosa nostra — our thing — and they want no part of it going forward. If Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch had any intellectual integrity he would invite these young Jews and JVP, the people he said are succumbing to lies, and Yemini said are sick, in to his synagogue to explain themselves. Let's see. . . .

The two main photos I've shared were taken about eight years apart on two separate, but significant days in my life.
The first is of myself and my dad before my grade twelve prom. I was going through a really hard time emotionally at this point of teenage-hood, but am so happy to have photos to remind me of all the positives in my life back then too. Sometimes it's easy to remember the bad, but this photo has sat on my dresser (a few different dressers) for the last eight years and reminds me of how close my dad and I are. He was so proud of his dolled up tomboy!
The second photo is from my wedding last August! It was fun, exciting, and exhausting. I love the photos I have with my parents and it's fun to compare them to photos like the one from prom where so many years have passed. I can't wait to see another photo among these two in eight more years!
I love my dad very much and am lucky in life to have a dad who loves me too. Not everyone is so lucky and I really start thinking about family dynamics as Father's Day approaches.
I look forward to celebrating Father's Day with him this Sunday and snap some photos on all the other milestones we'll come across in life.

From a simple penchant for yellow flowers as a child to becoming a full-time gardener, nature advocate, and garden designer, I am extremely happy to finally have a platform for me to successfully spread knowledge and expertise in the garden. After highschool graduation, I took many courses related to garden design to feed myself with more knowledge and expertise other than what I learned from my mom growing up. Soon as I finished courses, I gained more experience through internships and most especially, garden shows! I also tried to join as many garden design competitions locally. For any garden design inquiries, ping me!
