The winners of the National Dance Awards 2017 have been announced.
Principal of The Royal Ballet Francesca Hayward won the Grishko Award for Best Female Dancer, just two years after winning the Emerging Artist Award.
Fellow Principal Zenaida Yanowsky, who will retire at the end of this Season, collected the award for Outstanding Female Performance (Classical) for her performance in the title role of Will Tuckett's Elizabeth.
Scottish dancer Reece Clarke won the Emerging Artist Award – the third time in a row that the honour has been bestowed on a member of The Royal Ballet.
Another notable winner was Dame Beryl Grey, who was awarded the De Valois Award for Outstanding Achievement. Grey entered Sadler's Wells Ballet in 1941 when she was just 14 years old and remarkably danced the iconic role of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake just a year later.
The ceremony is held annually by The Critics' Circle and are the only awards chosen by a body of professional dance critics. Each award, with artwork designed by Deborah MacMillan, celebrate the range of talent in Britain's thriving dance culture.

Frankenstein is Liam Scarlett's first full-length piece for The Royal Ballet on the Covent Garden main stage, but in recent years his one-act works have made him a familiar presence at the Royal Opera House – and indeed further afield. Here are a few highlights from his prolific career to date:
Inspired by the raw energy of Lowell Liebermann's First Piano Concerto, Scarlett created Viscera for Miami City Ballet in 2012. It has since been performed by The Royal Ballet twice, in 2012 and 2015. 'There's no taking it easy in this ballet', Scarlett says: the outer movements are a whirlwind of energy, and the searing pas de deux which comprises the central movement simmers with intensity.
Sweet Violets
Scarlett's first narrative ballet, created for The Royal Ballet in 2012, explores the artist Walter Sickert's sordid fascination with Jack the Ripper. Sweet Violets is a dark, brooding ballet incorporating John Macfarlane's atmospheric sets of murky London brothels and backstreets, and Rachmaninoff's haunting Trio élégiaque as its score.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Shakespeare's plays have long provided brilliant fodder for choreographers, from Christopher Wheeldon's The Winter's Tale to Frederick Ashton's The Dream – and Scarlett turned to the same play that had enchanted Ashton half a century earlier for his 2015 work for Royal New Zealand Ballet and Queensland Ballet. To Mendelssohn's famous music, Scarlett conjured a funny, touching ballet which, the New Zealand Herald wrote, 'may well become a classic telling'.
The Age of Anxiety
W.H. Auden's poem The Age of Anxiety is set in New York in 1944, following four figures trying to make sense of the modern world. Leonard Bernstein's Second Symphony, also a response to Auden's poem, is the score to which Scarlett sets this 2014 Royal Ballet commission. Inflected with jazz and a sombre, bittersweet edge, the music and dance combine with Auden's poem to form a fascinating trio.
No Man's Land
Like Sweet Violets, Scarlett's 2014 creation for English National Ballet draws on early 20th century British history – but here we are drawn into the Britain of World War I, and the women left behind by the newly drafted soldiers. The ballet combines a re-creation of a munitions factory staffed by these women with the men's fate in the trenches, as well as a series of emotional pas de deux of love and loss.

You come from a ballet family – did this inspire you?
My mum and dad were both principal dancers in Chelyabinsk, where I grew up – sometimes they even danced together. Now they have retired and are teaching. But my sister is a ballerina and still dancing in Chelyabinsk. When I was small it just seemed natural I should dance too. It also seemed natural I should go to the Perm State Choreographic College, as both my parents had studied there and my sister was already there, in her graduation year.
You went when you were nine – that's very young.
I was very little and happy to go but didn't know it was going to be so hard. I went on the overnight train because at the time we couldn't afford the plane and I still remember the view as the train moved off – watching my parents waving goodbye to me, and I was crying. The first nights in the dormitory at school were difficult too. You couldn't show you were crying and missing your mum. You had to hide it. But it got easier later and technology became better so I got a mobile phone and could reach my parents that way. I remember when I entered the arabesque competition. My dad had promised me a laptop computer if I won a prize – and I did, I got the silver medal. I was the first boy at school with a laptop. Suddenly there was a queue of boys all wanting to try it out.
How did you come to study at The Royal Ballet School? Was this your preferred choice or were there other schools in the frame?
After six years at Perm I entered the Prix de Lausanne competition and won a study scholarship – I had lots of schools to choose from, including the Vaganova Academy in St Petersburg, and The Royal Ballet School. To be honest I chose The Royal Ballet School mainly because it was in London. I was a teenager and fed up of Russia and thought it would be amazing to live in a great city in Europe. It was very difficult at first because I didn't speak any English. I shared a room with Benjamin Ella, who is a dancer with The Royal Ballet now, and a good friend, and we created a hybrid language of English and Russian to get by. I actually didn't expect to stay longer than a year, but after my first year Gailene Stock [the former Director of the Royal Ballet School] asked me if I wanted to continue and graduate, so I stayed. After graduation I was offered a contract with English National Ballet right away.
Tell us about your dream partnership at English National Ballet with Czech prima ballerina Daria Klimentová.
We get on so well together. We match each other in physique and she is Czech and the Czech and Russian culture is a bit similar. And our sense of humour is also the same. When you are really relaxed in rehearsals it gives you the confidence to explore new things. We can make jokes, or be really honest and say what's on our mind, then just let it go. If you're dancing with someone you don't feel so comfortable with you can feel scared and shy, which might mean you don't give your best.
Daria retired in May this year and has been quoted as saying she waited 20 years to find a dance partner like you.
That's lovely. At first I don't think either of us thought we were a particularly amazing partnership. We were just working on dancing together as well as we could and enjoying it. We weren't trying to push it and create something special, it just came naturally and it was up to the audience to decide whether we were good together or not.
And now you have joined The Royal Ballet. What are you most looking forward to?
It is a really exciting time because every role I will dance with The Royal Ballet will be a debut for me. There is Manon with Lauren Cuthbertson and also Don Quixote, Onegin and Swan Lake. I've already danced The Sleeping Beauty and The Winter's Tale with the Company. The Winter's Tale was particularly interesting for me to do because I'd never really done this style of choreography before, so it was a big challenge, and when you are young it is good to always challenge yourself.
What other highlights are you looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to all the different classes I will take part in – particularly to work with the Russian teacher, Alexander Agadzhanov. What I also love about The Royal Ballet is that, unlike other companies, you have your own dressing room inside the Royal Opera House itself and sometimes before you rehearse there are operas going on – it makes you feel closer and more connected to the stage. I think I will enjoy this aspect a lot. I hope to guest for other companies sometimes too. It improves you a lot as a dancer because you go to a new company and the production and the ballerina you dance with are both new, so you have to push yourself. It's a pressure, but a good one that makes you stronger. Then when you come back 'home' it makes you feel more special.
Tell us about dancing the role of Lensky in John Cranko's Onegin for The Royal Ballet.
I am really looking forward to this – it's a great story, a Russian classic, of course. A few years ago I was only thinking about cabrioles and pirouettes and how to jump high. Now I realize there are lots of amazing ballets where I can be an actor as well as a ballet dancer.
Do you enjoy the challenge of acting through dance?
Yes I do, especially when you know a ballet well enough, as then it seems to come naturally. Once you have mastered the steps and they are in your body and muscles, you can start to let go. That is when the acting comes in. But I don't like to force it as it is sometimes hard to push the acting in the rehearsal studio – the best time for me is on stage when I have danced two acts already. By that time I am so tired I don't think about the steps at all, they become automatic and that's usually the best moment when I can let go and really go for it.
You are a product of both Russian and English schools of ballet – have you developed an individual style?
I think I have. I can't say I am 100% Russian now, because I have worked at The Royal Ballet School for three years, and with English National Ballet for four and a half years. So I am a mixture of my Russian blood and training and the English school, which have very different styles. I don't want to change that though – it is good to have a bit of everything.

Royal Ballet Principal Tamara Rojo is to leave the company to take up the role of Artistic Director at English National Ballet. Tamara will stay with The Royal Ballet until the end of the current season, dancing all scheduled performances before taking up her new post in August.
Director of The Royal Ballet, Monica Mason said of the news:
"I'm obviously very sad that Tamara will be leaving The Royal Ballet, as she is a wonderful artist and has been a loyal and committed Company member for the past 12 years."
Tamara joined The Royal Ballet in 2000 from English National Ballet. Prior to this she danced with Scottish Ballet and during her career has danced all the main classical roles, as well as a wide variety of the MacMillan and Ashton repertory. She has also created new roles for contemporary choreographers such as Liam Scarlett and Wayne McGregor.
The remainder of the 2011/12 season sees Tamara dance roles in The Prince of the Pagodas, La Sylphide and Birthday Offering.

The bioinformatics core will provide analytical and statistical support for the various proposed projects. The core will also serve as a data repository for the high-throughput ChlP-seq data and will coordinate the deposition of the datasets into the public domain. Additionally, cytokine production and protein phosphorylation will be analyzed by core personnel with expertise in the BioPlex system. This POI project will study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the induction and stability of regulatory T cells (Tregs). It involves the study of Tregs in both in vitro and in vivo models including molecular studies of gene transcriptional control and cellular studies using various mouse models of diseases. Particularly relevant to this core is the large amount of data that is expected as a result of the high-throughput techniques proposed. The core provide the following services: 1) to analyze and compare the data derived from ChlP-seq direct sequencing experiments performed for projects 1-4. 2) to perform statistical analyses of the experimental data from both in vitro and in vivo studies including those from various mouse models such as asthma, colitis, and viral infection. 3) to measure and analyze cytokine production and protein phosphorylation using the BioPlex system. The establishment of a core charged with these tasks will facilitate the consistent analysis of data sets as well as promote efficient and accurate data exchange among the various groups.
Sophiscated data analysis is critical for the rational design and proper interpretaiton of the biological experiments. This bioinformatics core will be highly utilized by all projects, and will enable synergistic interactions among individual projects.

By Christine Brennan, USA TODAY
SPOKANE, Wash. Figure skater Rachael Flatt has heard the adjectives people use to describe her — steady, solid, athletic, reliable — and knows they aren't always meant as a compliment. The words reserved for the balletic and elegant Sasha Cohen, for instance, or the expressive and delightful Mirai Nagasu are not used for her.
But while the audience at the U.S. national figure skating championships held its collective breath for Cohen and leaped to its feet for Nagasu, it finished the evening Saturday by lauding Flatt as both the new U.S. national champion and the country's best hope for a medal in the marquee event of women's figure skating at next month's Winter Olympic Games.
PHOTO GALLERY: Meet the U.S. Olympic team
U.S. TEAM: Sees medals on horizon
While pretty skating by petite, flexible athletes has carried the day in this sport for much of the past 20 years, it's not the only way to win a national title or reach the top five in the world championships, both of which Flatt, a powerful, 5-2, 17-year-old high school senior from Colorado Springs, has now accomplished.
Jumps matter, a lot, especially in skating's relatively new points system, and Flatt is far and away the nation's most talented and consistent jumper. She goes for, and lands, triple-triple combinations in both her short and long programs, something that few other women worldwide are able to do. In the long program here, facing immense pressure, she nailed seven triple jumps to go along with improved spins and strong footwork, racking up points from one end to the other as if the ice were a giant pinball machine.
By contrast, Nagasu, who enchanted the crowd with her exuberant performance, was given credit for landing only three clean triples. For those who were shocked that Flatt beat Nagasu, looking at the judges' scores provided an instant reality check. The only surprise ending in this event would have been for the woman who landed seven triples to lose to the woman with three.
In the past year, Flatt's team — including coaches Tom Zakrajsek and Becky Calvin and choreographer Lori Nichol— has added a very familiar face: Olympic gold medalist Dorothy Hamill has become a mentor to Flatt, providing occasional advice on the ice and off.
One of the first subjects Hamill broached with Flatt and her mother, a molecular biologist, was that, contrary to popular opinion, more than one body type can be successful in women's skating.
"I said, 'Get the image of being a tiny little bird out of your head,' " Hamill said in an interview after Flatt's victory. " 'You are an amazing athlete, and you have to build on your strengths. You can't wish and hope and pray for something that you don't have.'
"Rachael's never going to be able to do a vertical spiral," Hamill continued. "And some girls will never be able to do a triple-triple. They're just different skills. … Right now, we think of the world and Olympic champions as these beautiful, ethereal creatures that happen to be able to spin and jump. Rachael's not a tiny little button, so she'll never have that."
What Flatt does have, to Hamill's great delight, is an insatiable work ethic, be it for her schoolwork or improving on the ice.
"I haven't quite been 100% happy with all of my performances," Flatt said. "I've been on the cusp of doing great performances, but I've never been completely satisfied."
"She's real," Hamill said. "She's very down to earth. She's a perfectionist."
Few are predicting an Olympic medal for U.S. women's skating, which is fine with Flatt, who said she would prefer to fly under the radar anyway in Vancouver.
But because she is so steady and reliable, she was able to defeat South Korean gold medal favorite Kim Yu-na in the long program at Skate America in November, although Kim still won overall.
There are those words again. Steady. Reliable. Faint praise, perhaps, except for at the Olympics, where, when others inevitably wilt under the pressure, those very traits could help Flatt be one of the few left standing at the end.

Max was fantastic! She is a knowledge guide and made all the difference. In such a busy day during Chinese New Year, I was able to see it all and have fun! Thank you.
We had booked this tour through Han Tang International Services, but they 'off loaded' us to another tour company without the courtesy of telling us. This meant our pick up time was delayed by an hour and we were left waiting in the lobby. The hotel staff were kind enough to follow up with Han Tang for us. We felt Han Tang's organisational skills and customer service was very poor.
However, Max our tour guide from another company explained she had been asked to collect us for the tour and she was fantastic. We had a wonderful day with her and she was very professional and knowledgeable. Her tour included a visit to the Emperor's tomb, which was not included in our original tour.
I really enjoyed this tour. The guide provided the appropriate amount of information and was able to answer questions. While the day was hot, we enjoyed our tour.
My only suggestion is to go to the Emperor Qin's Mausoleum, the site of the Terracotta Army, first before going to Banpo. It was very crowded at the Terracotta Army site, and I don't think it would be as crowded at Banpo.
The vehicle had air conditioning and was in good repair.
I would recommend this tour, but not in mid-July! Wait until it is cooler if you have a choice.
Excellent tour with great insights from our tour guide.
Joanne K Australia
Worth every penny, this is a must, it's huge and spectacular, the only thing I didn't like was the lunch, it's a very busy place so you had to fight your way in to get photos, tour guide was very good, I can't remember her name but she had lots of information
Rick W United States of ...
Great tour with enough time to see what we wanted to see and get plenty of photos.
This tour was amazing!
Absolutely brilliant!
Very crowded for picture taking but worth the visit. We enjoyed our trip to see this famous site. Lunch was HORRIBLE!! The lunch was cold, unflavored, and did not include sodas or drinks. We shared this with our tour guide. Everyone on our tour bus was appalled that the lunch selection was as bad as the service.
Of all the tours in China this was the one we were looking forward to the most! And it didn't disappoint!
We were picked up from our hotel at 9am, taken to a terracotta warrior factory - where I must say the sell wasn't as pushy as other factory tours. We then visited Banpo, an ancient village settlement followed by lunch. Then onto the Terracotta Warriors....breathtaking! More than enough time to visit and explore, our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that we had.
When we visit China again Xi'an is a definite must for a second visit.
Excellent! The tour covered a lot of ground, but it was conducted at a comfortable pace.
This tour was amazing, our tour guide Chin was very knowledgeable and spoke clear english. Chin explained amy details bout the Soldiers and their history for us. Our Lunch was fantastic in the Historic restaurant, the selection of foods was plentiful and very tasty. The local wine is a bit strong so be careful 57 alcohol... deceiving by taste...
When returning to Xi'an sometime in the future we will be sure to Hire Viator again.
waferworld USA
great tour. worth every minute a MUST
Small group, knowledgeable and friendly guide -- it was a great, well-organized tour. Thanks all of you!
I initially thought about getting a taxi to see the Terracotta Army and get a guide there. So glad I opted for this tour instead. Our guide, Xin was very good and knowledgeable. The 6000 year old village was fascinating. The tour to the factory was good and a great opportunity to buy a momento of the day. Seeing the Terracotta Army is impressive and going to the Emperors Tomb topped off a perfect day.
Fantastic tour and thoroughly recommended - given the time needed to travel from central Xi'an to the site of the Terracotta Warriors, the full day experience is definitely recommended. Our guide was great and even arranged a traditional dumpling meal for us in the evening and to experience a local opera
Fantastic day trip, plenty of time to see everything. Kemi was a great guide, excellent English and very passionate and knowledgable. Bus was comfortable, small group of 8 people
Amazing. Great day again with a great guide.
The terracotta warriors are well worth seeing. It's a real pity that so many of them have been destroyed beyond restoration. These are 2000 years old. We also visited the 6000 year old site of an ancient village and the terracotta warrior factory. A delicious Chinese lunch was also provided. There were just 3 people on this tour so we had a good chance to chat with the guide, Lucia, who was also very enthusiastic and knowledgeable with her Chinese history. This trip was well worth going on.
Joy was an excellant guide. Very Knowledgable.
This is truly a 5 star experience, the guide and driver were both very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful tour of the Terracotta Warriors. Our guide Sally was great. We were pleased to have a small group and would work with Viator again if need a guided tour. I would recommend the company and especially the guide.
Thank you very much Lucia and the driver for an unforgettable day...the terracotta army and Bampo are truly a great experience and highly recommended!
If you're looking for an easy, no-hassle tour of the Terra Cotta warriors, look no further! I was thoroughly impressed with my guide Cheng who spoke excellent English, and great sense of humor. Picked me up, took me everywhere and dropped me at my hotel. Very knowledgeable tour! Highly recommended!

New Mexico lands JC star Jordan Goodman
Jordan Goodman, one of the top junior college players in America, has committed to New Mexico, sources told CBSSports.com.
The 6-foot-8 forward has two years of eligibility remaining and was one of the top high school players in the country a few years ago.
Goodman previously committed to both Georgetown and Rutgers before enrolling in junior college at Harcum College in the Philadelphia suburbs.
This addition drastically changes the outlook for New Mexico next season. The Lobos will enter the Mountain West without three key members from last year's team that made the NCAA Tournament in Kendall Williams, Alex Kirk and Cameron Bairstow.
Goodman averaged 18.1 points and 6.6 rebounds last season in junior college.

For Home and Country
Talonbooks, 2004 - Drama - 126 pages
Founded in Stoney Creek, Ontario in 1897, the Women's Institute played three key roles which helped lay the foundations of the feminist movement. It provided a means for the continuing education of rural women, often not schooled beyond the elementary level, at first in practical areas of homemaking, home nursing and food preparation and preservation, then later in professional areas, providing much needed information such as how a woman could establish and protect her legal rights to property. Very early on, Women's Institute members also began to use their local branches as a forum to lobby for social change, including public health reforms, medical and dental inspections in rural schools, and in some cases even to further the cause of female suffrage. Finally, the Women's Institute also created an avenue for an evolving female sociability and a context for the evolution of a gender-based identity politics. From their humble beginnings, Women's Institutes spread widely throughout Ontario, across Canada and around the world. At their height of popularity, Ontario could boast 1,449 branches with more than 47,000 members; Canadian membership climbed to 87,000 by 1953.
For Home and Country dramatizes the generational conflict created by the rise of an urban and radicalized feminist agenda in the latter part of the 20th century and its head-on collision with its much more conservative, rural roots in the Women's Institute. It is also Leanna Brodie's homage to the techniques of Canadian populist theatre?grounded in the work of Theatre Passe Muraille?and its ability to tell stories about the power and dignity of ordinary lives that had not previously been considered capable or worthy of being told.

Hello Brock,
Those photo links you posted look uncannily similar to what I'm seeing with this seedling. It's always looked like the unmarked typical ALPINE LAKE until this spring (which has had some abnormal temperature swings).
I've seen just a little of the darker brushmarks on one or two of the other amoenas (siblings) but this one showed it most strongly.
I'm guessing that even if it is an unstable weather induced pattern, it could be selected to be more stably expressed. It'll just have to be low on my list of projects - so many other exciting things to try.
Thanks for the info.

I really like this one, Thomas. As far as the reasoning behind the pattern, I'm not sure.
Because the identity of my "Alpine Vista" is in question, a friend here suggested I search the archives for 'Alpine Lake' and there's a neat shot of what a late cold snap did to the coloration here:
I'd be interested to see how yours develops over time.
Thank-you for sharing the photos.

Cambridge Companion to Plato's Republic by G. R. F. Ferrari
Book DescriptionThis Companion provides a comprehensive account of this outstanding work, which remains among the most frequently read works of Greek philosophy, indeed of Classical antiquity in general. The sixteen essays, by authors who represent various academic disciplines, bring a spectrum of interpretive approaches to bear in order to aid the understanding of a wide-ranging audience, from first-time readers of the Republic who require guidance, to more experienced readers who wish to explore contemporary currents in the work's interpretation. The three initial chapters address aspects of the work as a whole. They are followed by essays that match closely the sequence in which topics are presented in the ten books of the Republic. Since the Republic returns frequently to the same topics by different routes, so do the authors of this volume, who provide the readers with divergent yet complementary perspectives by which to appreciate the Republic's principal concerns.

Housing Savings
Many states base your property tax on the valuation of your home. Call your town clerk and find out if this is the case in your area. If you think the value of your home has gone down, get a fresh appraisal or at least some real estate comparable sales in your area. Find out when you are allowed to submit for a reduction (usually only once a year) and see if you can get your property taxes down. I have a friend who is saving $5000 a year on property taxes.
• If you are a first time buyer and have a little cash at the ready, this is a great time to by a house. Mortgage interest rates are low and prices are very reasonable. Short sales and foreclosures are prevalent. While sad for the homeowners, it can gain you significant savings.
If you want to move up, even though you might have a home to tell, you're still going to get more house for your money if you buy now. Since prices are down that means you'll be paying less in commission and taxes. Realtors usually work on commission, so the lower the price the lower their fees.
If you are looking to renovate, many quality home renovators who are hard to come by in a building boom, are ready, willing and able to do those renovations you've been wanting to do forever.
You can make out like a bandit on new construction as well. They don't like to lower the asking price too much because it affects the asking price of the other houses left to sell. However, builders are throwing in everything but the kitchen sink in ammenities to move vacation homes. This means you should negotiate hard for getting basements finished, upgraded appliances and cabinets, maybe even a pool.
Looking for an investment property, if you have the cash, now is the time to scoop some up. But remember to find out what the rents are going for in your area before signing on the dotted line. So many people get caught up in the idea of being a business owner, they forget to crunch the numbers. If it costs you too much more to own it then you get back in rent, you might want to look for a different property.
Travel Deals
• Travel is at an all time low…so now is the time to take advantage of those great rates. Many hotels and resorts in order to keep their booking high, will offer lots of freebees, perks and upgrades. Check out the resort sites directly online or call them up. Do check the travel web sites, then compare them to a quote you get over the phone. Check out www.kayak.com for great ticket prices.
• Looking to go to a foreign country, save money by swapping houses. Go to www.homexchangevacation.com is a great site for assisting you in this idea…make your home cover your vacation housing costs. More people are doing this due to the economy.
You can also get great deals on timeshares right now. Do your research and make sure it's a reputable company. But negotiate hard and watch how many times they sweeten the offer.
Now that you are aware of some of the great advantages we have currently which were not available before, it is time to figure out how you want to take advantage of the current opportunities. It is always a good idea to make decisions relying on your team of professionals.

£1,000 theft from cancer fund event
Published 03/09/2012
Burglars have stolen £1,000 raised in a charity event for a three-year-old child with cancer.
On Friday night a "Take Me Out" event in Omagh raised £1,993 for Mallusk boy Oscar Knox's treatment.
However, £1,000 of that was stolen in a break-in at the home of one of the organisers in Coolnagard Lane, Omagh, some time on Friday night or Saturday morning.
An anonymous donor has since given £1,000 to the Oscar Knox Appeal to replace the stolen money.
Ulster Unionist MLA Ross Hussey condemned the heartless thieves.
"Whoever was responsible for this theft is beneath contempt. To break into a house and steal money which was raised via charitable donations for a young boy suffering from cancer is just sickening," he said.
"It is surely no coincidence that the house in which the money was being kept was targeted immediately after the fundraising event, so the thieves would have been well aware that the cash was intended for young Oscar Knox."

Thanks for your recommendations. I haven't seen neither GTO nor Death note, but I've read some of the DN manga and it seems quite good. I might look into them if they're this good:) Otherwise I would recommend you Kanokon if you like a little ecchi/romance (I just finished it).
I know the system, yes. At least, I used to know it as I've been through it myself, but they might have changed some of it with the "kunnskapsløftet" etc.E.g. I never think "Formgivning" (or "kunst og håndtverk") was ever an exam option for me... Sounds pretty neat, though :P
Gamereactor, that's that gaming magazine, right? Haven't got a user there, but if it's a good place I might very well sign up :) I doenjoy their free magazine, and gaming in general.
I'm now done with 3 exams; Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk (teh suckage) and Chemistry (finished this one today), all written. Then I've got an oral one comming up soon, not sure of the subject yet. How about you?
Tell me about it, I've got at least 20 unwatched anime, and with exams comming up chances are I won't have too much time to watch them in a while... And i doubt I can watch much anime in the comming year as well... suckage :(
If you like drama I'd recommend you some of the more serious shows like Kanon, Clannad and Fate/stay night. These aren't much ecchi, though... :P For humor - go watch Azumanga! I've watched that show at least 5 times, and read the mange even more... Pure greatness.
Yes, I'm wolf-kun (or rather wålf-kun for the leisure of the non-scandinavians ^^).
I can see you're quite into Naruto, and i guess One Piece would usualy be a natural choice then. Otherwise Bleach is quite similiar, I've heard. I'm a little more into drama and romance these days, often some pretty seinen stuff. But Naruto's a great way to relax from time to time, methinks ;) I can understand your difficulty with moving on, as I've had some of those myself... Though lately I've been watching so much great anime I really don't know what to do... I need to watch something crap soon xD
Hope to see you around! And a friendly advice - try watching something besides the Naturo(-ish) anime, it's loads of great stuff out there, and i wouldn't place Naruto on the top of that... (Also - It's spelled [amae]naideyo - as in "don't do [something]")

Most Expensive Auburn Neighborhoods
Auburn is a medium-sized city located in the state of Maine.
With a population of 22,871 people and eight constituent neighborhoods,
Auburn is the fifth largest community in Maine.
Auburn has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic cities in the country.
Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Auburn is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Auburn is a city of sales and office workers, professionals and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Auburn who work in office and administrative support (16.05%), sales jobs (11.89%) and management occupations (7.76%).
The population of Auburn overall has a level of education that is slightly above the US average for all US cities and towns of 21.84%. Of adults 25 and older in Auburn, 24.90% have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Auburn in 2010 was $26,545, which is upper middle income relative to Maine and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $106,180 for a family of four. However, Auburn contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
The people who call Auburn home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Auburn residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Auburn include English, French Canadian, French, Irish, German and Italian.
The most common language spoken in Auburn is English. Some people also speak French.

"Why should we have to wait one more day?" asks Steve Hildebrand, former deputy national campaign adviser for President Obama, addressing the lack of progress on gay rights in America.
Hildebrand was speaking about two weeks ago -- before the hate crimes legislation was passed and before the President's weekend statement about ending "Don't ask, don't tell."
Some forty years after the Stonewall Riots in New York city, Hildebrand contends, "Congress has done almost nothing to further equality." He cites the failure of anti-discrimination employment laws, the slow passage of the hate crime bill, the defense of marriage act, and "Don't ask, don't tell."
Obama's refusal to say when he'll repeal the military's discrimination against homosexuals suggests little has changed. More than 13,000 service personnel have been forced out of the armed forces including two West Point graduates.

I left the home Nov. 1st. so does that count as legally separated or does a document stating a legal separation needed? I'm trying to distinguish if we were legally separated because the Complaint was filed in Nov. or due to my physically leaving ...
I am a Lawyer licensed to practice in the State of California for the past 28 years. According to California law, and I believe most other States, the simple act of filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage or a Complaint for Divorce, does not alone elevate the case or the parties to the status of a "legal separation". Here in California a "legal separation" is a term of art used to accurately define when the Court has granted the parties a "legal separation".
Now, when you moved out of the family residence with no intention to reunite with your spouse, that would be considered the defining moment of being "separated" - but again, not "legally separated". The "separation" date can be quite important for purposes of defining the duration of the marital period. For example, in California, a marriage of 10 years in duration is considered a "long-term" marriage, and with this goes certain rights and obligations of the parties that do not exist in marriages of shorter duration.
If the Complaint or Dissolution action is still pending (no Court determination or party agreement), then you are most likely NOT "legally separated".
A marriage of only 4 months in duration may be subject to other statutory provisions, which may entitle you to a summary proceeding. In such cases, there may be no community property, no community debts and obligations, no retirement plans, no acqusition of marital property so to speak, and therefore, you may be able to Petition the Court for an abbreviated form of Divorce proceeding. This would be particularly true if each of the parties could reach an agreement as to the division of any marital property and the division of any marital debt.
Please consult the local BAR Association or free legal clinics, as they may provide you with written materials allowing you to represent yourself in such a summary proceeding (no assets, no debts, no children, 4 month marriage)...See question
my ex has passed away thre weeks ago he had custody of are 10 year old who is now with me full time since his passing do i need to do anything legally
This seems like a very simple question, and given certain assumptions, it is a simple question. So, if Mother is a reasonably stable, caring and nurturing parent, with no drugs, alcohol or convictions of crimes in her background, then generally she would be the most likely candidate to become the custodial parent of her own minor child. In such a case, she may or may not be required to file a Petition with the Court having jusrisdaction over the minor child, to determine legal and physical custody. If no individuals or agencies make a challenge to mother's custodial rights, then mother may have no reason to retain a lawyer to seek a Court Order for custody. Since mother already has physical custody, she may have no reason to do anything unless her rights as a custodial parent are challenged.
If however, someone or some agency, challenges mother's ability to care for the health, safety and welfare of the minor child, then she will be foreced to consult with an experienced and skilled family law attorney to defend her default legal and physical custody of the minor.
It bears mentioning that just because mother is the biological parent, does not necessarily mean she is the "best" or most "fit" adult to have legal and/or physical custody of her child. If she has emotional problems, drug problems, alcohol problems, health problems, etc., any one of these could severely compromise her ability to properly care for the minor. Thus, others could successfully challenge Mother's ability to provide care for her child, and it could be determined that what she is doing is NOT in the best interests of the minor.
As you can see, all of the facts of these types of cases must be fully explored and analyzed BEFORE making any impulsive decisions on how to proceed. You must consult an experienced and skilled family law attorney before making any final determination to proceed in Court.See question
the baby's mother is 4 months pregnant. I would like to know if i could get total custody of the baby.
This sounds like a very simple question, but, it has many underlying sub-parts, that can only be answered if much more information is made available.
First. When the question is taken "literally", the answer is a resounding "NO". When the child is in the mother's womb, it is obvious that the Father cannot obtain a sole custody order, as it is impossible for anyone but the pregnant mother to have physical custody. Notwithstanding the above answer, if the Father can establish through competent evidence that the mother is compromising the health and welfare of the fetus, he can request the Court to intervene with specific Court Orders that mandate certain healthcare policies and procedures be followed, in order to protect the child/fetus from any potential injury.
The moment the child is born, however, any father may challenge the mother's ability to properly provide for the health, education and welfare of the minor child. Accordingly, this would be a "fact-driven" type argument to the Court that the "Father" rather than the "Mother" is the parent that would provide the most favorable environment for the child. Absent any competent evidence to prove that the mother is not properly caring for her minor child, the Father would have a very difficult (up-hill battle) legal and factual argument that an infant should be separated from his biological mother.
Remember, each State has its own statutory basis for viewing parental relationships with their newborn (and unborn) children. Even certain Judges within a County will have differing opinions of how this matter should best be resolved. An experienced and skilled Family Law Attorney in your local area should be consulted and given all the details of the surrounding facts of the case before making any decisions to forge ahead with litigation.See question
Their dad is wanting to move 6 hour's away to be with his girlfriend.. She lived with him here in Illinois.. The cop's were alway's called to there house.. For domestic battery and other stuff.. I know for a fact that my kid's do not like her.. T...
First: You must carefully review the last Court Order and/or Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage for the specific language relating to Custody and Visitation of the minor children. Some of the answers to your questions may be found in the existing Court Order.
Next, does the 6 hours move-way place your minor children in the State of Illinois or in an adjacent State? This may be important because it will likely determine which State Court you will make application to in an effort to object to your ex-husband's move with the children. It may even determine what State laws will be applicable to your particular case or question.
Next, do you have any specific or just general visitation rights with respect to the minor children. The Court may make a finding that YOUR rights of visitation are being unjustly interferred with by the ex-husband's taking your children 6 hours away.
Some Courts in some states force the parent who wants to remove the children, make a compelling argument to the Court that it will be in the children's best interests to make the move 6 hours away. If the move is simply for the whim of the Dad, a Court may find that the balancing test is outweighed in favor of prohibiting the move, thus keeping the Dad and the minor in the same general vicinity as the Mother.
The fact that there exists a rather extensive history of law enforcement intervention, may make the difference in having a Judge make a discretionary determiniation to keep the minors in the same general location as the Mother. So, if you are really and truly concerned about the health, safety and welfare of the minor children, perhaps YOU should be the first to strike with a Petition or Request to the Court to reconsider the current Court Orders with respect to Custody and Visitation.
In either event, an experienced Family Law practitioner should be consulted in your area to determine the liklihood of your success in bringing a Motion to prohibit/enjoin the ex-husband's move 6 hours away with the minor children.See question
I s the process the same as a custody case, if the mother and multiple fathers whereabouts are unknown the same in an adoption case.
First, perhaps the most important issue to determine is the nature of the Grandparents Custody. In other words, has a Court having jurisdiction over the minor children actually awarded the Grandparents either "legal" and/or "physical" custody of the minor children? Assuming the Grandparents have a Court Order awarding them legal and/or physical custody, then this Court Order will suffice for almost all purposes, and there is no emergency to commence a formal Petition for Adoption. Why, because the Grandparents already have the ability (via the Court Order) to guide and control the "health, education and welfare" of the minors, as well as guide and control their physical presence/residence.
If there is no such Court Order or any other written instrument granting or awarding the Grandparents the legal and/or physical custody of the minors, then a Court Order from the proper Court having jurisdiction over the minor children should be requested immediately. Otherwise, a law enforcement agency, Child Services Agency or other individuals purporting to have an interest in the minor children may make application to obtain legal and/or physical custody of the minors.
Finally, the test for ascertaining the whereabouts of the parents is probably much more strict that you may think. It will not be enough that you simply call the last telephone number or mail a letter to the last known address. A Court (a Judge) may require much more diligence in searching for the missing parents. For example, I have handled cases in which the Court requires the searching of employment records, voting records, Department of Motor Vehicle records, hiring a private investigator and other such undertakings - to assure the Court that everything reasonable has been attempted to find these missing individuals. This may also include checking with County and local jails, prisons, Federal Bureau of Prisons, hospitals and psychiatric facilities.
Hopefully, this answer has been of some help and will guide you to the next level of inquiry.See question
