Grand Irony
One of Athens' most prominent statesmen was Cleisthenes, the city's archon from 525– 524 BC. Cleisthenes is regularly viewed as the essential author of Athenian majority rules system due in vast part to his help for the well known Assembly against the desires of the capable Athenian aristocrats.Ironically, Cleisthenes himself was a respectable and an individual from the renowned Alcmaeonid family.
This family delivered the absolute most effective dictators in Athens amid the Archaic time of Greek history. Cleisthenes' changes demonstrated urgent in making citizenship, not tribal connection, the passage to suffrage. Once more, there is stupendous incongruity here. All things considered, Athens in the long run decided that lone the children of Athenian guardians could vote. Such a law would have banned Cleisthenes from voting since his mom was a native of Sicyon.
Democracy in Sparta
Athens was a long way from the primary Greek city-state to attempt to execute majority rules system. Athens' most noteworthy adversary, Sparta, was likewise a majority rules system. Long observed as the aggressive and tyrant absolute opposite of Athenian majority rule government, the administration of Sparta set up the principal vote based constitution in world history. By most records, Sparta's popularity based constitution originates before its Athenian cousin by somewhere in the range of 50 to 200 years.
The one noteworthy contrast between Sparta's majority rules system and the one set up in Athens was the position of the government. While Athens did not have a government, the Spartan constitution kept the government yet pointedly restricted its powers.
Similarly, the Spartan model contained both a Council of Elders, which incorporated the city-states' two genetic lords and 28 chose agents, and a lower house intended to advance the interests of the Spartan masses. While Sparta's merciless military administration and its horrible bondage framework would not be considered appallingly fair today, this warlike city-state can genuinely claim to be the principal participatory vote based system in territory Greece.
Military Tyrants
Fighting was relentless in old Greece and basically a reality of regular daily existence for Greek residents. Thusly, Greek city-states frequently thought that it was consistent to designate lawmaker commanders and government official tyrants amid times of crisis.In Athens and somewhere else, the strategus was a military officer chose to play out a few unique errands, not every one of them simply military in nature. Athens even had a committee of 10 strategi amid the city's change from a tribal group to a city in view of citizenship.
The most popular strategus in Greek history was Themistocles, the Attic general who won the day against the Persians at Salamis. The most well known Athenian strategus was Pericles, the essential administrator of Athenian and associated powers against the Spartans amid the Peloponnesian War.
Over the strategus were the archons. Despite the fact that a nonexclusive term for pioneers, archons were the main judges of Athens who were entrusted with settling on tremendous common and military choices. The archon basileus was the central pioneer accountable for penances, while the archon polemarchos was the general whose vote was viewed as conclusive amid any inside level headed discussions.
First Democratic Empire
Many individuals have the silly idea that "genuine vote based systems" make a poor associate with government. The historical backdrop of Great Britain, the boss evangelist of parliamentary majority rule government and the biggest magnificent power ever, ought to be sufficient to discourage individuals from the possibility that law based countries can't likewise be winners.
Without a doubt, Athens can be effectively called the principal just realm ever. Despite the fact that the Athenian Empire was authoritatively called the Delian League and was as far as anyone knows a confederation of master Athens city-expresses, the group was just a magnificent project. The Delian League got its begin after the Greek triumph against the Persians at Salamis in 480 BC. Since the Athenian Navy assumed an outsize part in the fight, a few city-states consented to a common security organization together headed by Athens and headquartered at the island of Delos.At its stature, approximately 200 city-states had a place with the class.
Most states paid yearly tributes to Athens. As far as it matters for its, Athens utilized the alliance to propel its developing business and frontier realm in the Mediterranean. The Delian League would in the end be called upon to battle the Peloponnesian War against Sparta, Athens' most prominent adversary.
Limited Democracy
The old blue-bloods of Athens doubted the people. Their assessments were later resounded by the Roman patricians and the designers of the US Constitution. Generally, the blue-bloods trusted that the capacity to cast votes in Athenian decisions must be seriously confined to a specific portion of the populace. Specifically, propertied men who served in the Athenian military were the main ones permitted to vote.
Be that as it may, on account of the changes of revolutionaries and dictators, suffrage rights were in the long run extended. In the wake of Solon, Athenian blue-bloods guaranteed that all men above age 20 could vote. This generally meant 10 percent of the general populace. Two of the biggest socioeconomics in the city—ladies and slaves—never earned the privilege to vote.
Concerning the last mentioned, this implied an entire 40 percent of the city's populace was banned from voting. At last, the keep going awesome confinement on Athenian popular government was the issue of citizenship. Just Athenian nationals could vote in any race. This implied the children of non-Athenian moms or fathers were disappointed.
Other Democracies
There were different vote based systems other than the ones in Sparta and Athens. Two of the more well known cases can be found in Argos and the island of Rhodes. The Argive majority rule government just kept going from 470 to 460 BC. In any case, in that brief timeframe, Argos won a notoriety for being a completely law based city-state.Even the colossal Greek producer Aeschylus sang the commendations of Argos by making the city's eponymous legend a noteworthy populist.
Be that as it may, regardless of such shining depictions of Argos, the city attempted its own battle of victory, which incorporated the urban communities of Tiryns and Mycenae. Outside the territory, popular government prospered on the island of Rhodes. Best known for its "Goliath" statue, Rhodes was a law based state with a long history preceding its war with Athens.
The incredible Athenian speaker Demosthenes sang the gestures of recognition of the free Rhodians, but it was Athenian government that probable dismissed Rhodes from majority rule government and toward theocracy. Rhodes' tragic history of triumph (first by the Persians, later by the Macedonian armed force of Alexander the Great) and poor unions destined its longstanding majority rule government.

Shirt: My mom's closet.
Leggings: American Apparel
Booties: Thrifted
Happy Friday everyone!
This outfit was just utter fun. It was Flashdance mixed with summery-boho. If you've looked at my other looks, you probably remember these leggings from here(how could you forget 'em?!). Anyway, I decided to hike these babies up and go all out. I've had these leggings since I was in seventh grade, and I love them each and every time I put them on.
This outfit also made me long for summer even more. The billowy blouse blowing in the wind reminded me how much I love summer breeze. C'mon summer...please hurry!
By the way, this is my favorite picture:
P.S. This outfit was super comfortable...shhh

Teaching your kids the value of volunteering and helping others is a great way to expand their horizons. One family went beyond the pool in Fiji.
On arrival at the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort, I'm left in no doubt that this idyllic Pacific Island nation invented the
smile. From the arrivals hall at Nadi International Airport to the fruity welcome drink at the deluxe resort on Viti Levu's sundrenched Coral Coast (and everywhere I
go afterwards), countless rows of white teeth beam my way.
Their smiles are contagious. I'm
soon smiling eagerly back, the trials and
tribulations of my life back home fading with
each cheerful greeting of "Bula!"
What's truly remarkable is that these
iconic smiles haven't faded, not even after
recent floods and the destructive impact of
Cyclone Winston – the worst in Fiji's modern
history. Just weeks before my arrival, more
than 108 villages in the north of the country
had been completely flattened by Winston's
ferocious winds. Across the nation, schools
lost roofs and tens of thousands of people
were left homeless. Damage to infrastructure
and crops was estimated at more than FJD$1
billion (AU$640 million).
With the help of communities that were
unaffected and international aid, including
Australia's, the people of Fiji quickly got on
with rebuilding and welcoming tourists back.
"What can people do to assist Fiji?
Choose Fiji as your next holiday destination,"
urges Peter Hopgood, general manager at the Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort.
Holidaying guests can play a big part in
helping Fiji get back on its feet, he says.
Fiji is just one destination where travellers
can volunteer to help the local community.
There is always somewhere in the world that
needs our help.
Hotels with a heart play a big part in this.
Initiatives such as Outrigger's Community
Tourism Project to build a new kindergarten
in the lush Sigatoka Valley (the 'salad bowl'
of Fiji) present a great opportunity to engage
with the community while giving a little back.
Up to 18 preschool children currently
learn in a leaky one-room hut (formerly the
community meeting hall) on the grounds of
the Conua District School.
Expected to cost FJD$80,000
(AU$51,000) and be completed by the end
of the year, the gift of a much-needed modern
kindergarten and playground will cater for up
to 30 four-, five- and six-year-olds.
For a small fee of FJD$100 (AU$64) per
adult and FJD$60 (AU$38) per child - money
that goes towards the purchase of building
materials - guests can give up a few hours
of their holiday to help the local community
work on the project.
It's not all hard labour. Guests spend time
meeting and interacting with the students
and enjoy exclusive insight into village life,
local facilities, markets and attractions. A
picnic lunch is included at the Tavuni Hill Fort, a national archaeological site.
For those with limited time, donations of
resources such as books, pens and sporting
goods are also welcomed.
The new kindergarten is the second
project of its kind established by Peter
Hopgood, who was honoured by the
Fijian tourist industry for his passionate
contribution to tourism and the local
community last year.
In 2015, the resort's Community Tourism
Project helped build a new cyclone-proof
community meeting and school hall. Money
has also been raised to help fix roofs, and
paint and build fences for the school.
"Everyone wins" says Hopgood, adding
that around 18-20 per cent of return guests,
including families, now specifically come to
Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort just to help.
As a member of the Coral Coast Chapter
of the Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism
Association (involving other local resorts
such as The Warwick, The Naviti Resort
and Shangri-La's Fijian Resort & Spa),
Peter Hopgood has also been instrumental
in helping raise funds for a new maternity
unit and the extension of the women's ward
at the local Sigatoka Hospital (helping to
significantly cut the number of newborn
deaths) as well as an upgrade to its A&E
department and outpatient facilities.
Outrigger also supports swimming
great Shane Gould's drowning prevention
programme. Born in Fiji, the Aussie Olympic
legend visits twice a year to educate the local
children, who often cross rivers to get to
school, on preventative drowning techniques.
During our week's holiday we watched
children barely out of nappies and dressed
in their Sunday best serenading guests with
a few church hymns - their harmonies
blending perfectly with the setting sun and
the approaching calm of a tropical evening.
I've heard these choirs before but
this time, thanks to the time we'd spent
volunteering, I really felt part of the
community singing them.

Every week we are reading more and more about the harmful impact of air pollution. Now health experts in Britain are calling on local authorities to take more active efforts through the use of variable speed limits, removal of speed bumps and 'no idling' zones near schools amongst many other recommendations. Kevin Rawlinson provides a good account of the recommendations in a recent article in The Guardian.
Nice proposes 'smooth driving' measures to cut air pollution
Speed bumps should be removed, speed limits made variable on England's motorways, sometimes dropping as low as 50mph, and a congestion charge considered in more cities to cut air pollution and save lives, health experts have said.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) released a series of recommendations on Thursday which it said would "promote a smoother driving style" and help keep emissions down.
Health officials said vehicles created more emissions when they were speeding up and slowing down, as on congested motorways. To keep a more consistent speed, they said, the limit could be temporarily lowered to 50 or 60 mph when traffic is stop-start. That represented a "more sensible" approach than having lower fixed limits, Nice's Prof Mark Baker said.
The officials added that some speed bumps encouraged people to speed up, then slow down. They urged planners to consider using average speed technology on the roads to promote smoother driving. Figures released earlier this year by the RAC Foundation showed that cameras measuring average speeds were now monitoring drivers on more than 250 miles of Britain's roads. Sections covered range in length from a quarter of a mile on London's Tower Bridge to 99 miles on the A9 between Dunblane and Inverness in Scotland.
On top of that, they want towns and cities with pollution problems to consider implementing clean air zones and look into the possibility of introducing congestion charging zones.
The draft guidance for England also contains proposals for "no-idling" zones around schools to prevent parents leaving their cars running during school drop-offs. Air pollution is a contributory factor to about 25,000 deaths a year in England, almost 5% of all deaths, Nice said, and road traffic is estimated to contribute to about a third of air pollution in urban sites.
Provisional figures show that road usage is at record levels, with an estimated 320bn vehicle miles travelled on Britain's roads in the year ending September 2016.
Health campaigners welcomed the draft proposals, which were devised for local authority staff and are out for consultation, but environmental groups called for more stringent measures.
The British Lung Foundation said it backed the plans because "air pollution contributes to tens of thousands of early deaths every year" and the British Heart Foundation called them a "step in the right direction".
Jenny Bates, a Friends of the Earth air pollution campaigner, said the proposals were to be welcomed but that "we must deal with the real crux of the issue and reduce air pollution levels".
She said: "Action is needed both to ensure vehicles on the road are clean and that there are fewer of them. Diesel vehicles, which are the most polluting, must be phased out and our transport and planning policy needs a radical overhaul."
Nice officials called for a review of trees lining streets in urban areas. "In some cases, they restrict street ventilation, causing poorer air quality. In others they improve it". It also warns that solid barriers placed next to roads to mitigate noise can actually lead to a wider dispersal of pollution.
Other suggestions by Nice included:
- Town planners should avoid putting cycle routes on heavily polluted roads but, where this was unavoidable, they should consider using foliage to screen cyclists from vehicles. .
- Local authorities may want to look into setting a standard for the types of cars used for taxis.
- Some areas should consider public awareness initiatives such as "car-free days". Those could be similar to measures sometimes used in Paris, which only allows drivers with a number plate ending in an odd or even number into the city on given days when pollution reaches high levels.
- House builders should place living rooms at the back of houses away from roads and hedgerows should be grown to protect cyclists using cycle paths.

text: This book is an abridged version of the book Rav Kook, the Man and his Teaching by Pinchas Polonsky, published by Machanaim in 2006. It was the first publication in Russian on the fundamental tenets of Religious Zionism, and about Rav Kook. The English translation was first published in 2009. This is the second edition of the English translation. Rabbi Abraham‐Yitzhak ha‐Cohen Kook (1865‐1935) is, without doubt, one of the most celebrated rabbis of the twentieth century. He is known to most people simply as Rav Kook, the founder of Religious Zionism. We frequently overlook the fact that the foundations of his teachings reflect a deep modernization of the Jewish faith itself and of its approach to an array of contemporary problems. Both Rav Kook's parents descended from generations of Torah scholars, of both the Lithuanian and Chassidic schools. His father, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman haCohen Kook, was from the Litvaks, and studied in the famous Volozhin Yeshiva; his mother, Pearl Zlata, was from a Chabad Chassidic family. Some of their relatives were also devotees of the Haskala. Rav Kook synthesized these three approaches in his life and teachings. Rav Kook studied at the famous Volozhin Yeshiva (1884‐1887), and in 1904, after working as a rabbi in several places in Lithuania and Latvia, moved to Eretz Yisrael to assume the rabbinical post in Yaffa and agricultural settlements nearby. In 1921 he was appointed the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, and soon after that he became the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Palestine. In 1924 Rav Kook founded the Zionist "world‐wide Yeshiva" that became known as Yeshiva Merkaz haRav in honor of its founder. After his death his students, and especially his son, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, brought up a new generation of rabbis and religious activists. Today, the yeshiva has about 500 students, including 200 students in the kollel (post‐graduate division). A kabbalist who united in his teachings the ideas of the Vilna Gaon and the legacy of Chassidism, Rav Kook created the philosophy of Religious Zionism, a movement virtually unheard of in the Diaspora, yet which plays an enormous role in Israeli life today. It now claims as its adherents more than half of Israel's Orthodox Jews, and is symbolized by the knitted kippa. Rav Kook's teachings have attracted great attention from the entire Jewish intellectual world, and his approach is widely seen as a turning point in the development of Judaism. But not everybody, even among Rav Kook's supporters and followers, understands the true essence and philosophical underpinnings of his religious revolution. In discussing the religious approach to assessing the role of the Jewish people and the State of Israel in today's world, we must turn to the ideas of Rav Kook, who was able to see Zionism in a religious light. At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, Zionism was not seen as an aspect of Judaism. In fact, it contradicted Judaism in many ways, occasionally even coming into sharp conflict with it. Despite this, Rav Kook not only "supported" Zionism, as did many rabbis, he also formulated a religious conception of it. Furthermore, he demonstrated Zionism's importance for the development and deepening of Judaism. This is the aspect that we will examine first and foremost. Rav Kook was a poet by nature. This makes a systematic study of his philosophy difficult. We will attempt to outline Rav Kook's philosophy in more simple and concrete terms.

Still waiting for SA gov to provide bridge plans
Media Release
20 November 2017
Joint release with:
Rowan Ramsay
Federal Member for Grey
The South Australian Government has failed to provide any details of its so-called plan to build a new bridge at Port Augusta.
Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester has challenged South Australia to publicly release any details for the bridge duplication project it predicts will cost $200 million.
Mr Chester visited Port Augusta's Joy Baluch AM Bridge with local Federal Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey last month.
Mr Chester said he saw first-hand the traffic and safety issues associated with the key crossing to the Upper Spencer Gulf.
"The Australian Government is committed to providing an immediate short-term solution to improve safety for the community and assessing long-term options to duplicate the bridge," Mr Chester said.
"In March, I wrote to Mr Mullighan seeking options for short and long term improvements, including the duplication of the bridge.
"No options or business case for the duplication has been provided to the Australian Government, so work can't get started.
"Mr Mullighan needs to act now to improve safety for locals. We stand ready to consider a business case and funding request from the South Australian Government for both short and long term options."
Mr Ramsay said he was hopeful the South Australian Government wasn't purely focussed on the upcoming election and was serious about fixing the bridge.
"The duplication of the bridge will take some time, so an immediate solution to the walkway issue is needed first," Mr Ramsay said.
"The problems Port Augusta has faced since the closure of the Greater Western Bridge and increased pedestrian use of the main bridge is a serious safety issue and something the Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester and I have been trying to solve."
The Coalition Government is already investing more than $600 million in transport infrastructure across the electorate of Grey to improve safety and freight productivity for the state's major regional industries.

Today's dividends: combined $3.85 from 5 different companies
"To grow your wealth to a secure and comfortable retirement, you should invest in individual stocks in companies that dominate their industries and have a long history of high dividend growth."
Roxann Klugman
While I haven't read Roxann Klugman's book (The Dividend Growth Investment Strategy: How to Keep Your Retirement Income Doubling Every Five Years), I have to admit … she seems like a pretty smart woman.
I say that because, well, I agree with her. When I started my March toward a $1,000,000 portfolio, I had no idea how I was going to get there.
Now I do … and it's by investing in the type of companies Klugman's referring to in her quote. Companies like Johnson & Johnson, 3M and UnitedHeathcare. All three are giants in their respective industries – JNJ is a major player in the pharmaceutical space, 3M is an industrial behemoth and UNH is a dominant figure in health care – and all three have great dividend track records.
All three were nice enough to pay me dividends today, too.
Today's Dividends
Johnson & Johnson: JNJ passed along an $0.84 dividend for the one share I own. It's been a good stock for me since I opened a position last November. The share price has jumped nearly $30 (23%) and the company offered up a dividend raise, boosting its payout from $0.80 to the current amount a few quarters ago. As for that dividend, JNJ has been committed to it for a long, long time. How committed? Well, it's raised it for 54 consecutive years.
3M: Did someone say dividend raise? As if Johnson & Johnson's track record wasn't good enough, MMM's is even better. The company's raised its dividend for 58 straight years. Today, it paid me a $1.18 dividend for the one share I own – a share I picked up for $175.95 a year ago. Since then, that share has jumped more than $60 (35%). Can't argue with that.
UnitedHealthcare: Like MMM, UNH has had a monster year. I bought my one share in February and it's up about $60. All the while it's dished out a growing quarterly dividend. The last time UNH boosted its dividend, back in June, it raised it from $0.63/share to today's rate of $0.75/share. That's a 19% raise, people!
See … looks like good ol' Roxann knows what the heck she's talking about. I also received dividends from Valero (VLO) and Gamestop (GME) for respective amounts of $0.70 and $0.38. Neither have the pedigree of the three companies I already mentioned, but both have pretty nice yields to make owning them worthwhile.
I hauled in a combined $3.85 from the five different companies today, boosting my December dividend income to $19.28 and my 2017 mark to $336.83.
Today was also the sixth straight day I received at least one dividend. Since my last post (Thursday's bit about the $0.35 Discover sent my way), I collected $1.15 from Amgen and $0.30 from Yum! Brands on Friday, $3 from IBM on Saturday, $3.72 from Target on Sunday and $0.77 from Exxon Monday.
March on!

ALBANY — Gov. David A. Paterson on Tuesday vetoed the Legislature's attempt to create new ethics panels to monitor elected officials and to require greater financial disclosure by lawmakers, halting for now an overhaul of the rules meant to curb political corruption.
Mr. Paterson said the proposals, which would give the Legislature the power to appoint a commission to police itself, were insufficient.
"The only way to bring fairness and openness to government is to fundamentally reform the way Albany operates," Mr. Paterson said. "We must bring fundamental change to the culture of Planet Albany, and finally put the interests of the people of New York ahead of lobbyists and special interests."
The prospect that any efforts to overhaul the state's ethics laws and impose reform on Albany will succeed this year is now uncertain. The proposal appeared to lack critical Republican support in the Senate to override Mr. Paterson's veto. An override requires 42 votes, and the Democrats have a 32-to-30 majority.
With tensions between the governor and the Legislature running high, a compromise anytime soon seemed unlikely.Continue reading the main story
Despite the uncertain outcome in the Senate, Democrats said on Tuesday evening they would schedule an override vote as soon as possible, a move intended to pressure Republicans.
"It's going to the floor," said John L. Sampson, the Senate Democratic Conference leader. "You can do what's political, or you can do what's right."
In the Assembly, where the plan enjoys widespread support among rank-and-file members, an override is expected to prevail easily. Mr. Paterson issued his veto after the Legislature had finished its business for the week, depriving lawmakers of an immediate override vote.
Senate Republicans voted overwhelmingly for the bill last month, and it passed the chamber 59 to 1. But many Republicans expressed reservations about the measure, saying it would give Democratic appointees too much authority to investigate complaints against elected officials.
Senator Dean G. Skelos, the Republican minority leader, said on Tuesday that he doubted an override could win enough support among his members.
"I would not vote for an override, and I believe most members of our conference would see it that way," Mr. Skelos said.
But some Republicans have already said they would break ranks with their leader. Senator Andrew J. Lanza of Staten Island and Senator Joseph E. Robach said on Tuesday that they would support an override.
Democrats are hoping that the threat of being labeled an opponent of reform will scare enough Republicans into backing an override. And Democrats were already lobbing that criticism against Mr. Skelos on Tuesday.
"It's not surprising after just two weeks, Joe Bruno's hand-picked replacement, Senator Skelos, has indicated his conference will flip-flop on ethics reform," said Austin Shafran, a spokesman for Senate Democrats. Mr. Bruno is the former Senate Republican leader who was convicted in December on federal corruption charges.
In issuing the veto, Mr. Paterson was hoping to negotiate a new ethics proposal with the Legislature. "We have an historic opportunity to reform Albany, and if we fail to seize it, history will not forgive us — and neither will the people who sent us here to lead," he said.
But the Legislature, which has had strained relations with the governor for months, may not be interested in heeding his call.
"I don't think it helps the atmosphere for negotiations to veto the bill," said Senator Eric T. Schneiderman, the leading Senate sponsor of the ethics reform legislation. "But we'll sit down with our colleagues in the Assembly and talk to the governor's office and see how to proceed. Certainly an override is possible."Continue reading the main story

We want to star by saying a big THANK YOU to all those that have donated their time, effort, items and finances!
We have recently received donations through our new 'Just Giving' page so thank you for that also. Here is a link to the page if you wish to have a look and possibly donate and be a part of making what we do possible. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/gateway-northeast-1
Gateway North East is a charity that provides services at subsidised costs so that children and young people from all backgrounds can take part in our activities and services. Due to the nature of what we do, we rely heavily on funding and donations made by the general public to ensure that the children and young people can continue to benefit from the wide range of services we provide.
Donations no matter how big or small will be greatly appreciated.
Please read this appeal letter from our CEO:
Dear Parents and Supporters,
Gateway North East is a charity that relies upon the generosity of people, companies and groups who are willing to fundraise on our behalf, as well as organisations that are willing to sponsor or give funding to us. Many of those working and volunteering are people who are carers themselves or have a disability and have had experience of the difficulties that parents of children with a disability face, especially financially, and are deeply invested in this cause.
We try as much as possible to respond to peoples needs and we never turn anyone away on the basis of finance, however this puts a lot of pressure on the group to find funding to support our activities. To ensure that we can run holiday schemes, in every school holiday and to run our small steps approach into work and training for our young people, we need your backing.
This is a plea for help. We know at this time it is difficult for people to give money, but it is for that very reason we need your help to make so many families lives that little bit easier.
If you are not able to support us financially, you may know of others who are able. Do you know of people or groups who would be willing to fundraise for us? People who would be willing to ask employers to consider us as a charity of the year or sponsor us in some way? Schools that would be willing to take part in an event such as a none uniform day or to sell Christmas cards, or are you a member of a church who would be willing to help us raise money?
We can supply information about our groups and activities for any groups or individuals who are willing to help in our fundraising, as well as recognising their generosity through participation certificates.
We are passionate about seeing the young people we work with reaching their potential and achieving incredible things. If you share this passion, we encourage you to support us in any way you can.
Yours faithfully,
Joanne Fearn

Re: can i use FFXI equipsets
You can make AshitaCast execute a command when the specific conditions are met. That said, you could have it send the commands to equip the in-game gearsets vs. using AshitaCasts' set features.

Re: can i use FFXI equipsets
while you can make ashitacast send <command></command> blocks for doing /equipset, that wont work the same. the game imposes a limit on how many /equips can be done per slot within a period of time and ashitacast bypasses this, so things like a precast>midcast set will not work as expected using /equipset's inside command blocks within each section, and could prevent the equipping of gear in your midcast sets. Someone can correct me if i am wrong here. Depending on what you are doing, that may still be okay for your purposes.

God's Will for The Lords of Business
Everyday you're bound to hear someone make an asinine comment or say something vilely stupid, but no one does so with the hubris and particular verbal meanderings of today's GOP candidates - especially when talking about rape. They excel at the absurd, exclaiming such inanities as exemplary of exceptional leadership, valor, and public policy -- these are no gaffes. The Todd Akins, Paul Ryans and Richard Mourdocks of the world proudly and consistently repeat themselves until their insane stances on rape as "God's will" become slogans for a white-male majority about to lose its grip on power. At the most base level Mourdrock's comment begs the question: why is the act of rape God's will and the abortion that may follow not? In the face of such contradictions, there's something more sinister behind his words that all of the uproar fixated on his blatant bigotry has missed. The greater issue Mourdock's statement raises is that if one policy is the will of God and another is not, how does he and those who share his views (Mourdock is the only candidate Mitt Romney has publicly endorsed this election season) know the will of God? Suggesting that a tragedy such as rape is the will of God outs Mourdock as a fatalist. But if public policy is determined by fate, then why do we need politicians such as him and his cronies in the first place? Mourdock may be a fringe character who could fall off the national radar after tomorrow's election, but he's not the only candidate or member of the GOP who holds these opinions. They run rampant through the party to such an extent that much of the electorate is hinged on believing their elected officials have been selected by God.
Just this Sunday, on a conference call with tens of thousands of Christians of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan warned that President Obama's policies on health care and religious freedom are leading us down a "dangerous path." He went on to say that these policies threaten Judeo-Christian values. The organization, headed by none other than notorious conman Ralph Reed, has responded strongly to abortion being against God's will. In fact, abortion has been the central issue inspiring many low-income conservative evangelicals to vote against their economic best-interests since the rise of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson in the 1980's.
In 1982, when the unemployment rate hovered around 10%, abortion and tax-exemption for Christian Schools became the key issues allowing Republicans to shift focus from the national economy and gain the necessary votes to keep seats in the house that they surely would have lost without a new coalition. Reagan's second term owes much to this off-season election and the religious right. This victory in 1982 led the RNC and "business friendly" lobbyists to make odd bedfellows with Christian leaders who would, time and time again, argue that God's will is at stake in each following election. From 1982 up to the early nineties the Christian right grew at staggering rates, replenishing the constituents who fled the party in the years following the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. Even today, with a Mormon as their candidate, evangelicals believe that they're voting God's will. Yes, I too never thought I would see the day evangelicals would say God is telling them to vote for someone outside their faith.
Manifest destiny has always lurked like a nasty venereal disease in the corridors of American politics. It's perplexing that Republicans think we can't see them scratching while they stare into the camera. There's something strikingly un-American about the notion of God's will, or rather "fate," driving the future of the nation as well as the lives of each and every individual. It seems like something that should have long disappeared like the red scare, yet it still flares up on occasion. It makes even less sense coming from those who champion the American Dream as the accomplishment of individuals for and unto themselves. This makes for a glaring contradiction in ideology: 1.) If you work hard enough, you'll succeed. 2.) The direction of your life is determined by the will of God.
The first implies that it's the choices you make that determine your future. Perhaps to it's credit it also says your vote matters. However, in the face of massive amounts of data on income-inequality and the myth of upward mobility, it reinforces the GOP talking point that collective efforts do not exist; you must pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. If you built it, God didn't. Fate has no place in this ideology.
The second implies not only that what happens to you in your life is God's will, but that these politicians "who believe government is the problem" have the ability to know God's will and are insuring that it be done. But if God built it, then you didn't. If government is problematic because politicians, even if they win the election, are not actually doing God's will, why do you need a government of and for the people anyway? There is no reason to vote if policy written by our elected officials is determined by fate.
Both ideologies cannot coexist in any reasonable way. If Chris Christie were to have said in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy that the disaster was the will of God and New Jersey doesn't need the help of FEMA or any funding from the Fed, his constituents, many who hold such a view in regards to countless other social safety nets, would have been outraged. The immediacy of the need over ran the illusion, but unfortunately when it comes to long-term issues most people are horrible at evaluating cause and effect.
Republicans strategists are keenly aware of this. That's how they get away with bundling such contradictory ideologies as a cohesive party platform. The brilliance of this party strategy is that it rallies people to believe that if they make the choice to vote, and their vote is the work of God, then they are part of God's plan. This psychological amalgamation of hyper-individualism and religion is the glue that keeps the party together. It also reinforces denial in group efforts and the cooperation of the nation, for which they depend, by presenting a false dichotomy for constituents to hobble between when trying to defend their harebrained positions. It's cognitive dissonance at its finest and is perhaps the smartest thing the party has devised in the last eighty years. But like all great strategies, it soon gets played out.
Republicans are in decline. Minorities are growing by 1% of the electorate each year and the typically vote Democrat. Soon old-rich-white-heterosexual-Christian-males will be less prevalent. As they're influence declines so will their opinions about rape and their ideologies deviously veiled as the will God. For that we should all rejoice.

Many thanks to blogger Nu who was pointing this Doubled Die Obverse (DDO) out to us some months ago.
After he wrote this article, I quickly search for this coin but to no avail. Only recently when I asked my fellow friends in my facebook group, it seems that there are many of these DDO has been kept by collectors. Most of them are not aware that this is another variety of 50 sen 1984 - which can be included into doubled die variety category.
Doubled die variety coin is a booming niche in numismatic scene in the US.
And it is sad that none of this doubled die coin - which many of them are monstrous - are not listed in our local catalogue. And suprisingly die gouge errors were listed!
The best part of collecting variety coin is that it trains us to be more particular. I myself am not aware of this doubling until Nu pointed this out. Furthermore, variety coin collecting gives challenge in analysis part - of what kind of doubling. Currently there are eight classes of doubled die. And last but not least, collecting variety coin is fun, rewarding and cheap. Only some knowledge, passion and perseverance are required, not handsome money.
For this coin, it is obvious the doubling is offsetted to 4 o'clock direction. But the doubling only cover on area around 4 o'clock at the obverse, nearer to the rim. Could it be a Tilt Hub Doubling?

all across the South Pacific. I was able to buy some frozen steaks at
one place, but most didnt have beef.
Fijis grocery stores were much of what weve seen elsewhere. There were
tons of tins of corned beef, corned mutton, and mackerel. Where the
stores differed was the selection of Indian food and spices. The produce
in Fiji was also several grades better than elsewhere. The farmers
market was immense. It had just about anything you could want and it all

Very good. It was the first time, this dish that has been everywhere

Return to: Departments and Programs
Professors Bogucki (emeritus), Craft, Gray, Pence, Workman (emeritus)
Associate Professors Mahan (Chair), Sharpless (emeritus), Shattuck
Assistant Professor Krause
The Bachelor of Arts program is primarily for students who have a special interest in chemistry but who intend to pursue careers in such fields as medicine, dentistry, education, or business.
The Bachelor of Science program is designed to meet the standards set by the Committee on Professional Training of the American Chemical Society, and students who complete the B.S. program will be ACS certified upon graduation. This program offers students the opportunity to prepare for careers in chemistry or related professions. With its heavier concentration in science and mathematics, it prepares a student for positions in the chemical industry or for graduate school.
The college is currently developing majors in environmental disciplines, which can currently be completed as Contract Majors .
The University of Hartford, in conjunction with the University of St. Joseph Pharmacy School, offers a path to earn both a B.A. in Chemistry and Pharm. D. degree in six years. Students who expect to transition from the BA in Chemistry to the Doctor of Pharmacy Program at St. Joseph's University should discuss this option with their adviser and the Chair of the Chemistry Department as soon as they arrive on campus, as there are particular courses students must complete to be eligible for matriculation at St. Joseph's University. Eligible students must apply for admission to the St. Joseph's program during the summer before the junior year. Students accepted into the Pharmacy Program at St. Joseph's will complete their requirements for the B.A. in Chemistry at St. Joseph's during their senior year as they begin their Pharmacy coursework. The B.A. degree is awarded after the first completed year at the University of St. Joseph. For more information about the program's requirements, please consult with the Chair of the Chemistry Department.
In the Chemistry department, the Arts and Sciences writing requirement will be fulfilled in laboratory courses by the required weekly laboratory reports, a term paper, or problem sets. In non-laboratory courses, the requirement will be met by a term paper, essay questions on examinations, or problem sets. It is expected that a median of about 2,000 words will be required per student per semester for all upper-level courses.
The following graduate-level courses are open to qualified students; for further details, see the University of Hartford Graduate Catalog.

I saw a woman at the movies the other day. She was, how do I put this delicately...Well, she was someone's Nana. She seemed very sweet clutching her bag of home popped microwave popcorn, but get this - Nana was wearing a denim miniskirt with a frayed hem and a tube top with the word Hollister stretched across her chest. For those of you who don't know, Hollister is the trendy, young, hip love child of Abercrombie and Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters. Did I mention young?
Priding themselves on being California chic, they feature clothing you would normally see on Summer Roberts and Marissa Cooper on reruns of the OC. I always assumed Hollister, Abercrombie, and American Eagle were brands geared toward the 14-18 young adult demographic...but here was Nana in all her glory, looking like she had just left Laguna Beach and her boogie board behind.
They say that clothes make the man. If the same rings true for women...do young clothes make the woman younger? Or vice versa? I could only ask myself, in true Carrie Bradshaw form, how old is too old to be wearing young people clothing?
Granted, I am guilty of wearing an occasional Hollister tank top myself, but I would also get carded at a Hillary Duff concert. I would never go near the short shorts and ruffled skirts display, but I imagine the blue haired beauties at Nana's nursing home would, fighting over matching Fletcher Cove polos and Boomer Beach hoodies like they were winning bingo cards.
I guess age is a state of mind and you should wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and good inside. So go on Nana with your bad self.
I bet Sol and Morty at Century Village ain't complaining.

The news of a Jimmy John's being approved to be built at 923 Broadway Blvd. is against the Greater Downtown Area Plan for several reasons. (Download a PDF of the GDAP)
- It violates the integrity of a registered historic district. Downtown's historic assets part of what makes the City attractive, livable, and competitive, and we erode this with pad site drive-thrus.
- The City's recent zoning update specifically discourages auto-oriented uses in the downtown. This is a direct undermining of the City's land use policy goals.
- The City is in the process of adopting and modifying policies to make the Streetcar TDD more transit-supportive. This is a good idea in general, but also because supportive land use policies and development are criteria that are a consideration for federal funding. We removed parking requirements, assessed surface parking, and other actions to support high density, transit-oriented development, and an auto-oriented drive through is certainly not the highest and best use for this site within the Streetcar TDD.
- It would not create a walkable downtown. Auto oriented uses are not supportive of a walkable downtown.
- It would not help to double the downtown population. Fast food pad site drive-thrus do not represent the highest and best use, and do not add needed density.
- It would not retain and promote safe, authentic neighborhoods. This proposal directly undermines the authenticity and historic character of the surrounding Historic Garment District
- It would not promote sustainability. Auto-oriented uses are not compatible with the multi-modal policies and urban development strategies that the City has been pursuing to support a more sustainable region.
- It would not increase employment downtown. Pad site fast food does not build the thriving economic base that downtown needs to compete in the 21st century. There is a need for retail and services, but this design and this site are not appropriate.

If you've recently returned from a vacation and you saw your
chambermaid on the street (assuming she does not look like
like Jennifer Lopez), would you recognize her? If you've had
dealings with the concierge, you'd presumably pick him out of a
crowd on your home-town street, but what about the people who
work in the hotel laundry? Those who bused your table?
Probably not. These are the people who work in the
background, doing the minimum-wage work that others shun,
and if illegal aliens working off the books, often exploited both
sexually and materially by their employers. In "Dirty Pretty
Things," Stephen Frears who seems to be in Ken Loach
territory in knocking out socially-conscious movies about
working class stiffs veers away from such tales as "Bread and
Roses," "Ladybird, Ladybird," and "Carla's Song" by injecting a
horror motif, keeping the audience as tense as though watching
a Hitchcock classic while at the same time getting his left-
leaning viewpoint across nice and easy.
"Dirty Pretty Things" is even better than Frears's best known
works, "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid" (about the lives of a couple
with an open sexual relationship thrown into disarry) and "My
Beautiful Launderette" (about what happens when two young
friends take over a beat-up launderette) only partly from the
skill of the lead actors. After all "Launderette" starred Roshan
Seth and Daniel Day-Lewis and "Sammy and Rosie" featured
Shashi Kapur and Claire Bloom. Without illuminating race
relations or the general economic state of Britain, "Dirty Pretty
Things" focuses on the way immigrants are treated, particularly
those without papers, and thus resonates throughout the
prosperous Western world where Turks do the dirty work in
Germany, Algerians in France, and Africans in Great Britain.
In fact, since there's no shot of Big Ben, you'd scarcely know
that Frears's work takes place in London. Though the posh
hotel looks upscale enough to be in Mayfair, Steve Knight's
screenplay punches out the seedy behavior that lies under the
glitzy surface and the exploitation that exists in the nearby
sweatshop where seamstresses are warned moments in
advance of a raid by Immigration, the foreman taking advantage
of the vulnerability of the workers.
Chiwetel Ejoifor takes the lead as Okwe, a doctor in his native
Nigeria, who was forced to flee Lagos and take up work as a
driver by day and a hotel receptionist after sundown. He's
involved with Turkish asylum-seeker Senay (Audrey Tautou),
though the romance is an undercover as the machinations of
some hotel personnel. When Okwe discovers a black-market
operation in living organs is taking place including kidney
grabbing that's the stuff of urban legends he becomes aware
that the hotel manager, Sneaky (Segi Lopez), is busy arranging
forged passports and money in return for human organs.
With a terrific payoff courtesy of scripter Steven Knight ("Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire"), Frears takes us into the world of the
underground community, illustrating its camaraderie, its shared
fears, its pressure to do virtually anything asked by the
employers. The ensemble acting is flawless save for the
difficult role faced by Audrey Tautou who (thank goodness)
gives up the irritating smile pasted on her face in "Amelie" to
deliver her lines in English with a Turkish accent. The story
moves swiftly, one which presumably could transcend its status
as an independent film, and with the right marketing could
become the box-office success it deserves.

Beacon Founder: Know Who Your Most Important Staffers Are
At traditional airline companies, pilots are the stars. At startups, the most revered staffers are usually the C-suite founders or the technologists.
But for Wade Eyerly, founder of aviation startup Beacon, the most important staffers work in customer service.
As a service business, passenger experience is key. "Empowering [customer service staff] to do whatever's necessary to make your experience right is what makes us succeed," says Eyerly. "You'd be surprised how difficult that is as a company culture to internalize, to really get."
In this short video, he explains why startups -- especially those targeting more affluent customers -- will need to bet big on service to survive.

malloc(1024 * 1024 * 1024), what does malloc actually do?
I'm sure it assigns a virtual address to the allocation (by walking the free list and creating a new mapping if necessary), but does it actually create 1 GiB worth of swap pages? Or does it
mprotect the address range and create the pages when you actually touch them like
mmap does?
(I'm specifying Linux because the standard is silent on these kinds of details, but I'd be interested to know what other platforms do as well.)

By adsorption now widely used in many areas of medicine, and every year its scope is widening. Blood, lymph really can skip through the adsorbent, refreshing, clean, better... But what struck by the authorities? They were through the column can't miss it.
And here's research group of age-related pathology at the eye diseases Department of the pediatric faculty of the 2nd Moscow medical Institute in collaboration with chemists recently under the leadership of senior researcher O. S. Komarova conducted experiments on clarification of the opacity of the cornea by means of sorption. In various pathological processes in the cornea of the eye accumulate calcium in higher concentration than usual. Contacting proteins and other biopolymers, calcium transformed into an insoluble form. The accumulation of such a calcium makes the cloudy cornea, less transparent. With a strong degree of turbidity main method of return of view was corneal transplantation. Experiments on animals showed that instead of the operation forced instillation of such eye solution containing chelating agents, active absorbent calcium and retrieves it from the cornea to the solution, make it clear again. For objective evaluation of the effectiveness of this method of treatment of the cornea animals fed labeled calcium, thus creating the model of the disease related to keratopatia. However, the turbidity of a cornea was increased. After this "intrusion calcium" bad eye has established a small cylinder, and watered the cornea curative mud, one of the main components of which were complexing agents such as these - indianinternet acid disodium salt or sodium salt diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. This is all chemical substances, able to selectively remove calcium from fabric and translate in therapeutic solution.
Such a solution with the extracted calcium analyzed then on the counter radioactive isotopes, repeat this procedure multiple times. And every time the unit recorded a new portion of adsorbed on the combined retrieved from corneal labeled calcium. After several forced installations turbidity of a cornea decreased.
Some of the used chelating agents used in medicine before. They are non-toxic and do not cause harmful side effects. However, the study of their activity with application in ophthalmology implemented for the first time. Now this method is implemented in the eye wards 1-St children's city clinical hospital of Moscow.

Support Local Homesteading
This petition had 75 supporters
In April of this year, our family starting keeping goats. Our family decided to keep goats for a few reasons:
- Poison Ivy - We have a great deal of poison ivy on our property and wanted a natural solution for poison ivy removal. Goats are the only animals that will eat poison ivy. The added benefit is that goats are also mobile and we can take them to our neighbors property to also remove poison ivy.
- Pest deterrent - Last year, we had to have several groundhogs disposed of. They we ruining our land and eating our neighbor's gardens. Keeping goats on the land will deter any new pests from overtaking the unused land.
- Lactose intolerance - Goat milk is a great solution for those in our family with lactose intolerance. We have used the milk ourselves and have freely given it to others. We have no intentions on selling the milk.
- Teaching Responsibility to our children - Goats require daily care. Our milking goat requires twice daily milking. We have taught the children to care for the goats. They are responsible, at times, for bringing food and water. With supervision, we have also taught them how to properly milk.
Our town has asked us to remove the goats from the property because we have 2.17 acres instead of the required 3 acres. According to The University of Illinois, "Poor ground may support 2-4 goats per acre while better pasture may be able to support 6-8 goats per acre."(https://goo.gl/vcbxzc) We are asking to keep just two goats on 2.17 acres. Please help us show the Town of Mendon that allowing us to keep and care for our goats would be beneficial.

An unidentified white man was arrested last night at the University of Michigan after his shouts of "F**k you, n****s!" ignited a fight with students protesting on-campus incidents of racism.
Theater professor Anita Gonzalez, who heads the Global Theatre and Ethnic Drama minor at U.M., posted on a video of the incident on Facebook, along with a racist Snapchat a white student had posted, as evidence of the incidents of bigotry with which black students have had to contend.
150 students of all races had marched to the Student Union for a meeting with University President Mark Schlissel. According to the MichiganLive blog, recent racist incidents had included slurs graffitied on campus walls. It is a tragic irony that the protest, organized by Students4Justice, the Black Student Union, and the local NAACP chapter, devolved into yet another instance of bigotry. Michigan posted photos of the protest and the altercation.

Though campus and Ann Arbor police arrested the fight's instigator, they have not yet released his name.
After the altercation, the protestors continued marching up to President Schlissel's home to demand he take more decisive action on campus racism and show more sensitivity to the students who suffer its consequences.
Tyler Washington, one of the event's organizers, told Michigan Live:
'I understood that things were going to happen, but the fact that two things happened back-to-back and the first thing the president did was give a tweet, not to the African American community, but to his followers, what is that going to do for the community?'
President Schlissel's response came across as a little defensive:
'Racist comments and this kind of verbal violence and vandalism – there's nobody who thinks this belongs here…I apologize if you haven't heard from me loudly enough or often enough – I don't know what you expect to hear. We are trying to catch the people doing this and tell them this doesn't belong here, while protecting the students here.'
Clearly some students think that racism belongs at U.M., or they wouldn't be perpetrating it. Rather than saying, "I don't know what you expect to hear," Schlissel might consider directly addressing the pain students feel at having to face racism's ugliness on campus, and hearing their ideas on how best to move forward.
