She learned to drive in the USA while studying abroad, apparently, and since then she's caused thousands in carnage.AdvertisementShe has reportedly been in seven serious road accidents (and possibly dozens of minor ones), the most recent of which was this weekend. This time, Ms. Xu, her short shorts, and the highest heels on Earth survived a fourth rollover accident unscathed. Yes, you read that right, she has had four rollovers in four years. Yikes.She even passed the breathalyzer test, so we can't even excuse her by saying she's an alcoholic.Her license is still valid.

Ohio Association of Public Safety/Service Directors
OML HOME • Affiliates • Classifieds • Bulletin • Publications • About OML
The purpose of this organization shall be to provide an opportunity for Public Safety officers to meet as a separate group for the discussion of municipal problems generally or the special problems, responsibilities and experiences of public safety officers as a special class of officials and to promote the general welfare of the cities and villages of this State by appropriate means, including but not limited to the following:
(a) the maintenance of a central bureau of information and research for collection, analysis and dissemination of information dealing with public safety;
(b) the fostering of conferences of safety officials, schools and short courses for the discussion and study of public safety problems and techniques involved in their solution; the rendering of such special and general services as may be deemed advisable; the publication and circulation of an official newsletter and such bulletins and reports on public safety as may be compiled from time to time; and

(d) the securing of harmony of action among the municipalities of Ohio and other agencies of government in all matters which affect the citizens of Ohio in creating the awareness of all levels of government of the problems and challenges of public safety in Ohio by presenting the facts and experiences upon which to formulate sound policies.
To: Directors of Public Safety
From: Joshua Brown, Esq., OAPSD Executive Director
Greetings. The New Year has undoubtedly brought new challenges for all of us. Feeling safe and secure within our homes and communities is a basic human desire and essential function of local government. It is a key determinant in the perception of the quality of life in a community. As communities grow or contract, the need for safe public, private, residential, commercial and industrial environments, where citizens are able to fully enjoy and connect with their communities continues. The nature of public service dictates that none of us are alone in these public safety challenges.
As OAPSD Executive Director, I believe it is imperative that we each make a concerted effort to contact each and every Director of Public Safety in the State of Ohio, and encourage all of them to join our organization.
We must continue to stress to everyone we can that the Ohio Association of Public Safety Directors is an important voice for state and local safety forces and public safety issues. The OAPSD is dedicated to addressing the unique problems, issues, responsibilities, and experiences of public safety officials, and to promote the general health and welfare of the cities, townships and villages of the State of Ohio. Further, we need to emphasize that we do not each have to stand alone with our individual issues, problems and concerns. As OAPSD members, we strive to keep abreast of new legislation and other public safety issues which impact or affect the public safety of the cities, townships and villages of our great state. The OAPSD stands ready and willing to assist member communities.
Also, I want to remind you that the Ohio Association of Public Safety Directors Annual Spring Conference will be held this year on Friday, May 6, 2016. This years' conference will be held at the The Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Rd., Columbus, OH 43210 . There will be no charge for Directors of Public Safety who attend this conference, as long as his or her membership dues are paid.There will be a $50.00 fee for each guest.
Again this year the OAPSD will invite a number of public safety vendors to attend the annual seminar, who will offer various products of interest for attendees to visit.
The OAPSD is also experimenting with quarterly regional seminars in an effort to offer conveniently located updates on topics of interest to our members across the state. Suggestions on topics that you would like to see featured in these seminars are welcomed.

It is for Scotland to decide! They can apply for membership any time, just like Turkey, for instance.
Sure. That doesn't mean they will be accepted. For a new member to be accepted there has to be a unanimous decision of the existing members and many of them have indicated clearly that they won't agree. Baroso has made it clear that it would be "very difficult" for an indpendent Scotland to be admitted to the EU.
Errr... Ever heard of the Czech and the Slovaks?
Czechoslovakia split in two (peacefully) and both halves joined the EU right away, and were welcome with open arms, if memory serves well.
Your memory does not serve well, since those countries split up in 1993 and were accepted into the EU in 2004.
The Euro is not the EU, and vice-versa. There is a ton of countries that are EU members, but still have their national currencies.
The Euro is not the EU but it is pretty close. There are two countries (UK and Denmark) that have been given the option to refrain from joining the Euro. Those exceptions were granted many years ago and no more such exceptions will be given. For all other EU countries joining the Euro is mandatory. The reason some of them have not joined is that their economies have not yet approached the indicators necessary to be accepted. They continue to be obliged to strive to attain those indicators.
You are not making any sense - again, the currency you use is totally independent from EU membership itself.
As I said, no it's not at all independent, it's closely related and you have no idea what you are talking about.
"Islamists" were in power in Egypt for over a year, which pyramids were turned into mosques? What known treasures were looted? When was the Sphinx defaced?
I have been an employed programmer for about 8 years now, dropped out of school to get paid instead of paying. Every single person I have had to work with who had a CS degree have had two traits in common. First, they love to remind you they have the degree. Second, they barely contribute anything to production except great ideas of how not to do things.
As a non-degree'd person, I have done contract work for 3 separate universities so far. You would think they would have an infinite supply of proud cheap labour to tap before giving me a call.
You sound pretty bitter.
Also, has it dawned on you that people might be doing a degree because... they want to learn things, i.e. not necessarily to make money on their job? Is this notion so outlandish to you that you fail to even acknowledge it?
Also, in many (most?) countries you do not pay to go to university.
The folks that are delusional are those that believe that the United States is less corrupt than any other society.
I have visited several other societies and I can tell you that the United States is absolutely less corrupt than any other society that I have visited. Of course, I have only witnessed a few: Several Central American Countries, France, South Korea, India, China.
I wouldn't say it is less corrupt; the impression you describe is mostly due to the fact that the US has legalized most forms of corruption under the guise of either "lobbying" or "private contributions to the political parties".
So long as you don't use the test set as a training set, sure you are, just as much as you were the first time that you went back and put yourself in their shoes. Remember, I'm talking about machine learning algorithms, so the algorithm has no knowledge of the test set when you "go back".
Once you select the algorithm then yeah, it doesn't have any knowledge of the test set. However, *you* have knowledge and you use that knowledge to select the algorithm and/or tune its parameters.
If you didn't get it right, you go back and try again.
You were doing fine until you reached that point... If you "try again" then you are no longer in the shoes of a 1970s scientist, are you?
No, bookmakers don't compute odds. They compute (and recompute) a number that will put 50% of the betting population on each side of the line. It has nothing to do with who is going to win.
That bookmakers try to split the betting money 50-50 might be true when the betting is against the spread. But not all betting is against the spread. It is also possible, for example, to bet on the "moneyline", i.e. on who is going to win the match. It is easy to see then that moneyline betting pays different odds for each team in match. In such cases the bookmaker, if he wants to guarantee a profit, has to split the money in a different way, for example if a team has 90% chance to win the match, he needs to take about 90% of the betting on that team. This is rarely possible though, because most betting happens on the favorites and when the favorites win the bookmakers mostly lose money.
You are also overlooking another component: That some bookmakers want to get the early action, and when they open the betting there is no line consensus to follow, so they have to set their own price. When this happens it means they *are* analyzing the matchup.
But even if we ignore all the aforementioned and only look at spread betting, where the 50-50 split is mostly possible, even then, it is not true to say that the betting odds have "nothing to do with who is going to win". They have *everything* to do with who is going to win. Peer-reviewed research has shown, time and time again (look at any of the papers here) , that betting markets are extremely efficient, i.e. betting odds reflect very closely the real probability of events. This happens *exactly* because the line is, to a large extent, shaped by public betting, which means that misconceptions on part of individual gamblers are cancelled out.
The guy said in an interview he gave in the Greek media that even the police officers and the prosecutors were really upset that they had to charge him... but "dura lex, sed lex" - don't worry, he is not going to jail or anything like that.
This is BS. There have been many similar cases in Greece and most of them have resulted in acquittals.
I am also Greek.
Your description of Greek religiousness is not correct. You are presenting it as if religion is universally treated as a vital part of national identity, which it is not. It is only treated thus by the right wing; the left wing (received about 32% in the last election) and most of the center (received about 15%) have always been clearly in favor of church-state separation.

The Question Is: How Lost Was Zebulon Pike?
In a strange message to the intriguing General Wilkinson, the soldier-explorer seemed to predict his own geographical befuddlement and his capture by the Spanish.
February 1965 | Volume 16, Issue 2
The sheer magnitude of Wilkinson's shoddy undertakings is one of the marvels of his time; another is the ease with which he duped such men as Thomas Jefferson and repeatedly escaped disclosure and punishment. It would have been impossible, however, for Wilkinson to serve so long as the commanding general of the Army if he had been completely a charlatan. He ran the military affairs of his country, including the many problems of a lengthening frontier, not brilliantly but at least not disastrously. He had a keen interest in geography and natural history, and like most other Americans he was eager to know just what the United States had acquired in 1803 in the vast tract of land called the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis and Clark were already in the Northwest, encouraged by Jefferson's intense and highly personal interest in their success, when Wilkinson was appointed as governor of the territory of Louisiana in 1805. Upon reaching his headquarters in St. Louis, Wilkinson began at once to carry out Jefferson's wishes in regard to further exploration.
But was Wilkinson interested in what lay to the west for his country's sake or because he had private schemes to develop? Here was a large part of the General's secret of success: his private designs so often overlapped those of the country that they could be easily concealed and implemented.
Neither Pike's expedition up the Mississippi in 1805–6 nor his second to the West in 1806–7 was specifically authorized by Jefferson. But Wilkinson kept the President and Secretary of War Henry Dearborn fully informed of Pike's progress, and both expeditions were later approved.
About the Mississippi River expedition there was no air of mystery and no suspicion of scandal. Pike was sent by Wilkinson to explore the headwaters of the Mississippi, to purchase sites from the Indians for future military posts, and to assert both to Indians and to Canadian traders the authority of the United States over the lands it had recently acquired. He was also to bring some influential chiefs back to St. Louis for talks with Wilkinson. Leaving St. Louis in August in a single keelboat with twenty men, Pike worked his way to the vicinity of Little Falls, Minnesota, by the onset of winter. Here he built a stockade for the protection of his party, then pushed on with a few men-travelling on foot and by dog sled to visit various furtrading establishments. The uppermost point of his journey was Cass Lake in northern Minnesota.
Pike returned to St. Louis in April. He had not found the ultimate source of the Mississippi but had tome within a few miles of it. In carrying out the rest of his mission he was only moderately successful. The success of the venture, however, must be judged not on the basis of Wilkinson's extravagant expectations, but on what might have been expected from a small party with an inexperienced leader. The trip seasoned Pike and his men for their more substantial foray into the West, and it produced a notable map and journal.
Upon his return, Pike found that Wilkinson was already planning to send him on a second expedition. Some Osage prisoners taken from the Potawatomis, and a few junketing Osage chiefs, needed to be escorted to their homes in what is now western Missouri. Also, a party of Kansas Indians had recently come down and asked for help in making peace with the Pawnees in the Kansas-Nebraska area. Wilkinson wanted, furthermore, to establish contact with the Comanches farther to the west, because their close association with the Spanish made them seem a dangerous threat to the frontier. And, finally, there was the ever-present need to know what the Spanish themselves were doing along the poorly defined western border of the Louisiana Purchase.
In 1806 almost every American citizen expected a war with Spain, which had not reacted happily to France's sale of Louisiana to the United States. The Secretary of War had instructed Wilkinson to engage in intelligence operations, using army officers disguised as traders if necessary, to find out what Spain was up to. and to get an idea of the terrain "to the west of Louisiana." The Secretary had even hinted that a military expedition against Mexico might become necessary. Some of the government's apprehensions about the Spanish had originated with Wilkinson himself, and even though they were now merely being fed back to the General, the official concern gave Wilkinson a freer rein.
It would soon develop that Wilkinson and Aaron Burr had been planning a coup in the West. Was it a traitorous movement to separate the western states and territories from the Union, or merely a plot to conduct filibustering operations against Spanish-dominated Mexico? The question is still disputed by historians. In either case, the expedition to the Spanish borderlands would serve Wilkinson well. His orders to Pike instructed him to explore the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers, which were presumed to lie just within the western limits of the Louisiana Purchase. When he had completed his reconnaissance he was to descend the Red to Natchitoches. In a separate letter Wilkinson told the young explorer, "you must indeed be extremely guarded with respect to the Spaniards—neither alarm nor offend them unnecessarily."

The Horse Forum
- Horse Riding
- - Wouldn't budge!
Wouldn't budge! I have had my 17 year old gelding for three months. We do TONS of stuff together, lessons, trail riding, swimming, going to start team penning. He's always game and super fun. Yesterday, we did some arena work with a friend, then we were going to ride down the road to some trails like we've done many times before. We got about half way down the road, and he stopped and refused to move forward. I kicked, I spanked his butt, I worked him in circles, but going back down the road was not an option. I got off and waked him forward with no problem, when I remounted it was an absolute no way. He was not nervous, or stressed, or excitable - just defiant. We'd back up, he'd go left or right (when it wasn't private property) and he'd walk nicely towards home, but no matter what when I faced his nose down the road it was 4 feet in concrete. His entire morning routine (i.e. Hay) was screwed up, the Barn Owners are out of town and their daughter who lives with them is in charge. He had not had his hay before we worked (she was a little later) but I made sure he had some breakfast before we started. I have no idea what to do in this situation. He's normally very sensitive and soft so demanding he do what I asked should have startled him a little...nope. He was like a mule. I have to wonder if there was something in the woods that he knew about and we didn't. I took him back to the barn, worked him in the arena for another 10 or 15 minutes until we ended up on a positive note and he was listening to me. In summary, I have two questions: 1. What should I have done in this situation? 2. What possible things would cause this behavior? |
Excellent question! Sadly all I can do is*bump*you for someone else to answer and sub to read what others say! Good luck with this!! |
Where does he carry his head normally? Is it usually with his neck level with his back or up high? How was his head when he stopped? If his head was higher than normal, he was being alert and sensed something there. If it was how he normally carries his head, he was just refusing. When your horse acts up, pay attention to what he's doing with his body. They give many signs to why they are behaving. Tail swishing, ear position, head position, and even their eyes. That will give you insight to what is going on in his brain. Posted via Mobile Device |
My mare does this when the killer chickens are loose on my neighbors property. She's skeered of them chickens. I got off once and led her past, and since thens she's wary when they cackle at her but moves on. Posted via Mobile Device |
So he was being alert. He sensed something was there. Just like cakemom did, walking him past it is probably the best thing you could do. Walk past like nothing is wrong. Posted via Mobile Device |
I agree he obviously knew something you didn't ;). You handled it quite well, walking him past was definitely the best thing to do. |
At that point, how far were you from the barn? Is it possible that he heard person who was feeding? Or were they even there then? And he may have been fooling you too. I've seen horses go on "high alert!" to get other horses looking too. Usually a younger horse, but in one instance? Boss mare got sick of it, and thrashed the youngster soundly. After that, he left it to the others to be on watch. |

400 Indianapolis First Student Workers Join AFSCME
August 27, 2007
SWEET VICTORY / Some of the 400 Indianapolis First Student transportation employees who voted to join Indiana Council 62 are joined by Exec. Dir. David Warrick (center) who is giving a "thumbs up."

Shannon Gilson
By an incredible 93 percent margin, nearly 400 Indianapolis public school bus drivers, monitors and mechanics have formed a union with AFSCME Council 62.
The workers are employed by First Student Inc., the second-largest school bus operator in North America. They filed a petition in May and won the National Labor Relations Board election.
"We're proud of the work we do and are committed to the families and children in our community," says bus driver Patricia Hughley. "But we have serious issues that deserve serious attention, and First Student has largely ignored us."
First Student is a subsidiary of FirstGroup PLC, , based in the United Kingdom. It contributes very little to their employees' health insurance premiums, pays low wages, and provides no paid sick leave or vacation. The company's disregard for its employees has led to high turnover.
"We deserve to be rewarded for our skill and experience," says First Student driver Grigette Yancy. "We need health care we can afford so we can take care of our families and fair wages so we can keep up with the cost of living." With their new union in place, those goals are now achievable, says Yancy.
"First Student employees have taken an important first step toward creating a better future and having a voice at work," says Council 62 Exec. Dir. David Warrick, who is also an AFSCME International vice president. "We're proud to have Indianapolis First Student workers as part of our Council."

Along with stealing the title of Biggest Fucking Nutjob from Al Roker, Willard Scott also occasionally fills in as the weather reporter of the Today Show. When not making Al cry in his dressing room for taking everything from him, Scott is resident retard on the show, recognizing birthdays of the oldest people in the United States and naming the jelly of the day.
Willard's birth certificate states he was born in 1934. Upon doing some research, I've discovered that this is about the time he developed dementia and 1934 was the only year he could remember at the time. In the 1950's and 1960's, he played everyone's childhood nightmare, Bozo the Clown before going on to be America's most-recognized fast food mascot, Ronald McDonald. Scott was later named the Most Frightening Man in the United States. When Willard finished scaring the shit out of children everywhere, he moved to work on the Today Show where he scared the shit out of everyone everywhere by being downright crazy. These days he is still scaring all viewers of the Today Show shitless, although he has the most pointless job on the show. He is stationed in Washington, D.C., presumably because none of the core staff of the show want to put up with his antics.
As I have referenced in previous posts, "I would have rather had someone shove a dirty stick in my rectum while simultaneously watching Willard Scott present his Smuckers Jam segment on a loop." Yes, she's 103 years old, and I'm sure she's a whipper-snapper. And she just loves the Smuckers. But for just one moment can you pretend to climb down from Big Rock Candy Mountain and live with us suffering, cynical humans for a while? It just ain't that gosh-darn cheery, man….
A CLOWN…he just can't get any more fucked up in my mind. It's like someone telling you the boogeyman whom you've always been afraid of has just grown 10 feet taller and will be residing in the closet at the foot of your bed, where he will come out to dream-rape you nightly for all eternity.
Willard Scott has been alive since the dawn of time. He reached fame through his work on television, radio and being a fucking tool. Yet still, he is not well-known today and no one truly gives a shit.

An important role of the attorney general is ensuring that taxpayers' money, entrusted to public servants, is spent on its intended purpose. The Attorney General's Office uses two main tools to recover money that was improperly taken from public funds:
The Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Division works to recover funds for the state Medicaid program from improper billing, over billing and other fraudulent activities. The False Claims Act allows the attorney general to file lawsuits to recover money that was improperly billed to the state or any local government entity.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently issued a report, "Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change."
Two years in the making, the report outlines a "best practices" framework for the Internet industry concerning how companies should address consumer privacy.
The FTC pledged that consumers will have an industry-created "easy to use and effective" "Do Not Track" option by the end of the year, or it will almost certainly face "Do Not Track" legislation from Congress next year. "Do Not Track" is the proposed ability by consumers to opt out of tracking procedures.
The Report calls on companies to act now to implement "best practices" to protect consumers' private information. The "best practices" are based on the following key principles:
The Report indicates that, over the course of the next year, FTC staff will work to encourage consumer privacy protections by focusing on the following five main action items:
Do Not Track - The FTC will work with interested groups to complete implementation of an easy-to-use, persistent, and effective Do Not Track system.
Mobile Services - The FTC will be urgings companies offering mobile services to work toward improved privacy protections, including disclosures. To this end, the FTC is trying to do what the California Attorney General did in February to improve and define consumer privacy on mobile apps. See our post dated February 24, 2012.
Data Brokers - The FTC will be calling on data brokers to make their operations more transparent by creating a centralized website to identify themselves, and to disclose how they collect and use consumer data.
Large Platform Providers - The FTC cited heightened privacy concerns about the extent to which large platform platforms, such as Internet Service Providers, operating systems, browsers and social media companies, seek to comprehensively track consumers' online activities.
Promoting Enforceable Self-Regulatory Codes - The FTC will be working with the Department of Commerce and stakeholders to develop industry-specific codes of conduct.
The FTC Report appears to be a broad warning to the Internet industry that it must adhere to what it considers reasonable behavior and has laid out a road map of its expectations in connection therewith.

A U.S. outbreak of E. coli has sickened 24 people in 15 states including in Pennsylvania with Farm Rich frozen food suspected as a likely source of the infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.
The outbreak strain of Shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli O121, or STEC O121, has been reported in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, according to a statement released by the CDC.
New York state health officials found the strain in an open package of Farm Rich brand frozen chicken quesadillas from an ill person's home, the CDC said.
Rich Products Corp. of Buffalo, New York, recalled about 196,222 pounds (89,000 kg) of its Farm Rich brand frozen chicken quesadillas and several other frozen mini meals and snack items on Thursday because they might be contaminated, the CDC said.
The Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration are also investigating to find the source of infections, the CDC said.

Orion is waiting for someone to snuggle with! He is a laid back guy who just wants to be loved. He would love to go on some leisurely strolls and would be a great companion. He is about 5 years old. Come meet Orion as soon as you can!
Act quickly to adopt Orion--foster2adopt. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Founded in 1974, the SPCA-BC has operated the Southern Brazoria County Animal Shelter since 2003. The Shelter is an open admission facility serving the Cities of Freeport, Clute, and Lake Jackson, Texas.
In order to reach our vision of "No More Homeless Pets," the SPCA-BC is focused on four primary objectives:
Education. All animals have value and should be treated with compassion and respect. We believe in promoting responsible pet ownership, teaching children compassion toward animals, fostering a community of support for animal welfare, and bringing animal welfare issues to the forefront of community awareness.
Spay/Neuter. The only way to break the cycle of pet overpopulation in our community is to prevent unwanted pets from ever being born. Spayed and neutered pets are healthier, happier, and make better companions. We are committed to providing low-cost, high-volume spay and neuter procedures to our community.
Adoption. Adoptions are vital to our life-saving mission. Every pet deserves a loving home. We work hard each day to find homes for the homeless pets in our care.
A World-Class Shelter. Every pet deserves a home, but the reality is that there are thousands of homeless pets right here in our own community. We provide shelter, medical care, and a place of refuge for homeless pets as they wait to find their forever homes.
We are open Tuesdays through Fridays from noon until 5:30 and Saturdays from 10-3.

Illustrated by Paul Galdone
Basil of Baker Street Book 1
Pages: 96
Finished: June 4, 2008
First Published: 1958
Genre: children mystery,
Rating: 4/5
Reason for Reading: Read Aloud to my 8yo, Decades Challenge
First sentence:
The Mystery of the Missing Twins could never have been solved by an ordinary
Comments: Basil the mouse and his friend Dr. Dawson live in the cellar under 221 B Baker Street. Basil is a detective, much lauded by the mouse community, just as his hero, Sherlock Holmes, is of the human world. Two little twin girl mice have been kidnapped and her parents ask Basil to take the case.
Written very much in the style of the Holmes books this is a wonderful mystery for young children and a good introduction to Holmes himself. We really enjoyed the story and I found it as much fun as I did as a child. It is also perfect for reading aloud. I found myself doing the voices of either Shemlock Hemlock or Maxwell Smart as I read. Lots of fun!

Canadian Gold: Previous Years
Canadian Gold Maple Leafs are a staple for any coin connoisseur. The .9999 fine gold coins come in diverse designs, as well. This category brings not only the previous year Gold Maple Leaf coins of all denominations together, but also any back dated gold commemorative coins Gainesville Coins carries.
Establishment of the Royal Canadian Mint
The Royal Canadian Mint is a leading precious metal refinery and coin distributor.
The Ottawa Mint Facility
The Royal Canadian Mint was established in 1908. With the need for coinage rising in Canada and the long transport time coinage from London had, a Royal Canadian Mint was proposed in 1890. The mint consists of two facilities, the Ottawa facility and the Winnipeg facility. The Ottawa facility was the first of the two to be established. At the start of the Great Depression, the Ottawa facility was still under British sovereign, but the facility managed to arrange for its independence.
Today, the Ottawa facility makes commemorative coins, collector coins, and bullion coins, bars, medals, and rounds. The mint plant is the main gold refiner of the two facilities.
The Winnipeg Mint Facility
In 1960, with an even higher demand for coinage in Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint proposed building a new facility. The actual building of the new facility took many years because of a lack of agreement of where the second mint facility should be built. Many argued that the new facility should be in the capital region instead of in Winnipeg. This debate would continue until December of 1971, when it was finally decided upon building the facility in Winnipeg. In 1976, the Winnipeg mint was opened for business.
Gold Maples as Investments
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf was the world's first modern pure gold bullion coin when it debuted in 1979 and, while keeping up-to-date with coins may be one way to invest in gold, it shouldn't be forgotten that previous year Maples are exemplary investments. The intrinsic value of gold is essentially boundless and as Canadian Maples are made of both gold and silver, they are excellent investments. Maples contribute to both gold and silver collections.
Many gold investors may worry about investing in quality gold, but with the Canadian Royal Mint there is no need to worry. The Canadian Royal Mint is renowned for its quality .9999 fine gold and silver, making all denominations of Canadian gold exceptional precious metals. Buy these fine gold examples from Gainesville Coins today.

Bulls forward Luol Deng hosts Lost Boys of Sudan sixth annual "Hope for Sudan Celebration"
January 4, 2011 – Luol Deng, a native of Sudan, hosted the Lost Boys of Sudan sixth annual "Hope for Sudan Celebration" at Truman College on Sunday.
Beginning at 1 p.m., Deng led a day of festivities to celebrate the sixth anniversary of Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the Sudanese Independence Day. The event also served as a celebration for the Lost Boys birthdays. Immigration paperwork marks January 1, as the birthday for all of the Sudanese boys. Additionally, the event raised awareness about the Southern Sudan Referendum scheduled for January 9.
The festivities included guest speakers such as Deng and also a variety of performances from Sudanese musicians. The Bulls would like to thank Hinckley Springs, Vienna Beef, Connie's Pizza and Edy's® Ice Cream for donating lunch for everyone attending the event.
The Lost Boys of Sudan are a group of Sudanese boys who saw their parents killed and villages burned as a civil war engulfed Sudan during the 1980s. The boys walked on a journey that lasted about 3 months in search of safety. Over half were killed or captured. After 14 years in refugee camps, their plight came to the attention of the U.S. State Department and beginning in 2001 many of them were resettled in the United States. Over 125 live among us in the Chicago area.
The Chicago Association for the Lost Boys of Sudan (CALBOS) was formed in 2002 for the purpose of providing mentoring, medical help, emergency assistance, employment counseling and educational support to the Lost Boys of Sudan living in Chicago. For more information, please visit sudanesecommunitycenter.org. or lostboyschicago.com.

Homemade noodles and the ease of rotisserie chicken make this yummy lasagna with spinach and fontina a real crowd pleaser. —Kathryn Conrad, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Featured In:
50 Great Ways to Make Lasagna
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semolina flour
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-1/4 cups (9 ounces) shredded fontina cheese, divided
- Grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh thyme, optional
- In a small bowl, whisk the first six ingredients. On a clean work surface or in a large bowl, mix all-purpose and semolina flours; form into a mound. Make a large well in the center. Pour egg mixture into well. Using a fork or fingers, gradually mix flour mixture into egg mixture, forming a soft dough (dough will be soft and slightly sticky).
- Lightly dust work surface with flour; knead dough gently five times. Divide into six portions; cover with plastic wrap. Let rest 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the first six filling ingredients; stir in 1-1/2 cups fontina cheese. Grease six individual 12-oz. au gratin dishes; place on baking sheets. Preheat oven to 350°.
- Fill a Dutch oven three-fourths full with salted water; bring to a boil. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 20x4-in. rectangle, dusting dough with additional flour as needed.
- Add one noodle to boiling water; cook 1-2 minutes or until al dente. Place one-fifth of the noodle in bottom of a prepared dish; top with a scant 1/4 cup chicken mixture. Fold noodle back to cover filling; repeat three times, topping and folding the noodle each time. Repeat with remaining noodles and filling.
- Sprinkle lasagnas with remaining fontina cheese. Bake, covered, 30-35 minutes or until heated through. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and additional thyme. Yield: 6 servings.

Join Chris Mattia for an in-depth discussion in this video Installing Moodle on a Mac, part of Moodle 1.9 Essential Training for Teachers.
To install a Moodle server on Mac OS X, we are already at moodle.org/downloads in our Firefox browser and we are going to simply find the Moodle for Mac OS X section on this page and we are going to click on the link, Moodle for Mac OS X. When you get to this page, there is some general information about the package installers for Mac OS X at the top and then if you scroll down to the section on Mac OS X Moodle Distributions, you will see that there is a lot of different choices you have.
Moodle is constantly being updated and improved and every week there is a new build that is created that has all the new source code added to it. The version that we are going to be using for this training title is Version 1.9.4+ and it's the most current version available of Moodle learning management system. Over on the right-hand side, you want to make sure that you are getting the Moodle for Mac OS X 1.9 with MAMP 1.7.1. Now this is only going to work for Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5. If you are using an older version of Mac OS X, there is another version down here that will work for those operating systems. But we are using the current version; we are using Leopard Mac OS 10.5 and we are using an Intel based Mac. So we are going to go ahead and click on the link for Download. Now if you are using a PowerPC, go ahead and click on the Download link for PowerPC. This is going to download the disk image file for Moodle. So go ahead and make sure it's set to Save File and click OK and the file should go ahead and download to your Desktop.
Once the file finishes downloading, go ahead and close the Downloads link and we can go ahead and close our browser window. Now on our Desktop, we should have a file Moodle4Mac-Intel-19A.dmg, go ahead and double-click that file and it should open up the disk image for Moodle. Now to install MAMP, it's really easy. Simply grab the MAMP folder that's inside of this disk image file and drag it on to the Applications folder. When you drop it in there, MAMP is going to get copied. Now what is MAMP? MAMP is Mac, Apache, MySQL, and PHP; all in one, all of those different servers and services are all installed and configured for you.
There is also a fully installed and configured Moodle installation inside of this folder as well. So we simply have to wait for the file to copy then double-click on the Applications folder. Go ahead and close that back window and now we are going to scroll down on our list of applications until we find the folder called MAMP. Once we find the MAMP folder, there is two files that we are going want to use all the time. So we'll go ahead and add those to our dock right now. The first file is the MAMP applications, we'll grab that, drag it down to our dock and we'll go ahead and insert that into our dock. And we are also going to add the Link to Moodle down to our dock, so that we don't have to worry about finding that again. Now the Link to Moodle is in actual document. So that's going to go to the right side of our little bar here.
Let's go ahead and close this Finder window and we'll launch MAMP by clicking on it now in our dock. We get a pop- up that's telling us that MAMP is an application that we have downloaded from the Internet. Yes, we are well aware of that so we are going to go ahead and say Open. And MAMP will automatically launch its Control Panel and then launch an Apache web server, a MySQL database server and a full instance of PHP. Once all of this is up and running, and you see the screen. That means your installation went successful and all of your services are running properly. We can go ahead and close this window.
So in your MAMP Control Panel, if you need to stop the MAMP server, you can simply do so by clicking the Stop Servers button. After the servers stop, if you need to restart them, you can always launch the MAMP application again or click the Start Servers button. Stop Servers will become Start Servers again. And come back down to our dock and now click on the Link to Moodle. We are presented with the full Moodle learning management system up and running and fully configured. Now you could stop right here but the default installation for Mac OS X has a lot of extra customization that is not needed throughout the rest of this training series. So what we are going to do is go in and tweak the settings for the Mac OS X Install so that it looks like what every other operating system would see if you were to sit down at any other system after a clean install of the Moodle learning management system.
So to begin configuring Moodle so that you will be able to follow along easily for the rest of this title, let's go ahead and log in. In the upper right-hand corner, you will see the login space. It's already added the username of admin and we can see on screen that that admin password has been set to 12345. So we'll type that in and we click the Login button. We are now logged in as the administrator. So the first thing we are going to want to do is we are going to want to set the default theme to be formal white.
To do that, move over to the lower- left corner, under the block for Site Administration and find the Appearance folder. Click on the link for Appearance then click on the link for Themes. Next, click on the link for Theme Selector. You are presented with a lot of different themes. The theme that we are going to use for this training title is called formal_white. So scroll down until you find formal_white and simply click the Choose button. You will see that the overall look and feel of Moodle looks ever so slightly different. Click the Continue button to fully activate the theme.
Next, we are going to adjust the front page settings so that it shows all of the courses that we are going to be creating right on the front page. To do that, come back down to your Site Administration in the lower left-hand corner and click on the link for Front Page. Next click on the link for Front Page settings. Here we are going to go ahead and we are going to rename the Full site name. You can call this whatever you'd like. For this training title, we are going to be using a Full site name of Lynda University. The short name for our site is going to be just simply lyndaU. Under the Front Page Description, we'll go ahead and select all the text that's inside of this box and we are just going to type in, Welcome to Lynda University! We'll scroll down a little bit, in the blank for Front Page, we'll click the dropdown menu and choose List of courses. For Front Page items while logged in, we are also going to set the top item to List of courses. Go ahead and scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click the Save Changes button.
Now when you go back to the upper-left corner, and you click on the link for lyndaU, we are taken back to the homepage and we can see that all of our available courses are listed right here on the front page. We have two more quick steps. The next one is to get rid of this large image here and to do that, we are going to come up to the upper-right corner and click Turn editing on. We are going to scroll down to just below this big image and there is a small icon of a hand holding a pencil. Go ahead and click that link and now just select everything inside of this HTML editor, hit the Delete key on your keyboard and click the Save Changes button.
Now when we go back, we don't have that large image taking up all the space so we can clearly see all the information that we have. The final step is to go ahead and move this Course/Site Description over here to the upper right-hand corner, so to look like a default installation of Moodle. To do that, use the right-hand arrow to click and it will move that block to the lower right. Then we'll just simply use the Up arrow on that block to move it several times up to the top of the right-hand column. We'll click on the Turn editing off option, and now our Moodle installation has been completely set up and configured to look like a default installation of any different operating system.

- The Draper Story – The Beginning
- Product Impact
- Our Corporate Environmental Mission Statement:
- Draper's Green Initiatives
The Beginning
The Draper story begins in 1902 with our founder, Luther O. Draper. Mr. Draper's business philosophy was simple—to make a quality product and sell it at a reasonable price. Mr. Draper saw the problem of the sun's heat and glare in schools—the largest buildings in most communities at that time. He addressed that problem by making and selling spring-roller window shades in Spiceland, Indiana, 40 miles east of Indianapolis.
The window shade business grew through two world wars and a depression. Today, Draper offers lines of window shades for the commercial, educational, and residential markets, and is one of the country's largest manufacturers of window shades.
In 1957, Luther Pidgeon, grandson of the founder, invented a new and uniquely durable classroom projection screen. Over time, projection screens and visual communications products have grown to be the largest component of Draper's business.
In 1994, Draper entered the gymnasium equipment market, and is now proud to be the largest manufacturer of gymnasium equipment in the United States.
Today the company is a true global citizen, with sales and manufacturing locations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden shipping products throughout the world.
Draper was proud to receive the 2009 Business of the Year award from the New Castle/Henry County Chamber of Commerce, and in 2010 Draper was one of only seventy companies (and one of only two manufacturers) named one of the "Best Places to Work in Indiana" through comprehensive reports and employee surveys compiled by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
Over 500 Employees
Draper's 500 employees, still led by Luther Draper's descendants, operate with the same business philosophy: build a quality product, and sell it at a reasonable price. Over the years, Draper has become known as a consistently responsible corporate citizen, and continues to build on that tradition.
- Responsibility to our employees: Throughout the company's history, Draper has never laid off any employees. Our employees enjoy competitive wages and a growing benefit package, including the rare combination of a company-funded pension plan, profit sharing, and a 401(k) plan with matching contributions. Draper also provides a generous group medical plan that includes an innovative free on-site primary care medical clinic and an award-winning wellness program.Draper has won numerous awards for its employee-focused benefits. We were named as The Healthiest Workplace in the United States in 2014 by Healthiest Employers LLC, a national organization dedicated to help improve the wellness of American workers. We were also named as PLANSPONSOR's 2014 Plan Sponsor of the Year for our corporate 401(k) program. In 2013, Draper was granted INSHARP certification by the state of Indiana. INSHARP stands for Indiana Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program. Certification in INSHARP recognizes an employer as a model work site for occupational safety and health.
- Responsibility to our community: Draper is a generous contributor to the local community and consistently supports the local United Way, Relay for Life and Dollars for Scholars campaigns. Other recent beneficiaries include the public library, volunteer fire department, community center, school corporation and youth organizations. Draper generously and consistently supports the volunteer and community activities of its employees.
- Responsibility to our environment: Draper is looking forward to the needs of the future by establishing itself as a market leader in "Green" environmentally-friendly products and operations.
Product Impact
Window shades reflect light and heat from the sun, reducing the amount of energy required to cool the building. Motorized window shades can automatically adjust to compensate for the changing shade requirements throughout the day. Shades support healthy daylighting and view strategies by reducing or eliminating uncomfortable glare for workers in day-lit areas.
Meeting and presentation rooms can benefit from both daylight and energy savings with the use of projection screens and window shades. Projectors have been demonstrated to conserve energy when compared to flat screen displays. Projectors, projection screens and window shades create efficient and welcoming multi-use presentation spaces.
These strategies have potential to contribute to LEED® certification points in a facility: consult one of Draper's LEED® Accredited Professionals for assistance in planning for environmentally effective installations.
The construction of Draper products has become friendlier to the environment as well by including increasing quantities of low- and zero-emission materials and increasingly efficient manufacturing processes. All Draper product lines contain significant recycled content, and we are making a concerted effort to increase the recycled content in all of our products.
Our Corporate Environmental Mission Statement
As a United States manufacturer of quality products for the architectural market for over 100 years, Draper is committed to providing products for the sustainable design market. As members of our local, state, and national community and as members of the U.S. Green Building Council, our company and our employees are striving to become more environmentally conscious by continuously upgrading our facilities to be more energy efficient, and by introducing "reduce, reuse and recycle" programs. We will continue to upgrade and design new products with these goals in mind.
We are recycling more than 84 tons of materials per month in nine categories. This figure continues to rise. We've also introduced programs for reusing wood and cardboard products, including hundreds of shipping pallets, skids, and shipping tubes. We are constantly seeking to increase the efficiency of our energy use.
Our Environmental Steering Committee is coordinating a company-wide effort involving all employees in environmental activities through an intra-net website.
Now in its second century, Draper's products and policies still embody the foundation of Luther Draper's business philosophy and the experience of more than 100 years.
Green Leadership: Draper, Inc. is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a coalition of building industry leaders working to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work. The USGBC developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability in site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Draper has over 12 LEED®-Accredited Professionals on staff. More than half of our sales staff has received in-depth LEED® training.
Draper is a founding member of the InfoComm AV Sustainability Task Force, working to create the Sustainable Technology Environments Performance (STEP℠) rating system. Active in 2011, this system is designed to determine the sustainable nature of an AV system.
Draper conducts training sessions for architects, designers, dealers and installers, designed to increase awareness of the proper specification and use of window shades, projection screens and related AV products, and how they integrate with sustainable building.
Green Products
Draper products can improve a building's energy efficiency. Window shades reflect light and heat from the sun, reducing the amount of energy required to cool the building. Motorized window shades can automatically adjust to compensate for the changing shade requirements throughout the day. Shades support healthy daylighting while reducing or eliminating uncomfortable glare for workers. Meeting and presentation rooms can benefit from both daylight and energy savings with the use of projection screens and window shades. Projectors, projection screens and window shades create efficient and welcoming multi-use presentation spaces.
Green Certifications
Draper was the first manufacturer to offer GREENGUARD®-certified projection surfaces. In fact, our screens with GREENGUARD Children and SchoolsSM certified viewing surfaces received a Product of the Year award from Electronic House publishing. GREENGUARD Children and SchoolsSM certified materials meet or exceed industry standard limits for off-gassing. This helps protect sensitive children and adults in places they spend many hours every day–including schools, daycares, healthcare facilities, homes and businesses.
Draper offers products that feature GREENGUARD certified materials in all of its primary product lines: projection screens, window shades and gymnasium equipment.
Draper, Inc. is proud to be a member of or have our products listed by several additional building industry leaders and standards organizations dedicated to promoting buildings and products that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and that create healthy places to live and work. Some of these include:
- GreenSpec (www.buildinggreen.com)
- Texyloop (www.texyloop.com/internet/gb/)
- Confidence in Textiles (www.oekotex.com)
In addition, Draper FlexShades offer Phifer SheerWeave fabrics that exclusively feature Microban® antimicrobial protection (www.microban.com). Microban® antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.
Green Manufacturing: The construction of Draper products has become friendlier to the environment by including increasing quantities of low- and zero-emission materials and increasingly efficient manufacturing processes.
All Draper product lines contain significant recycled content, and we continue to make concerted efforts to increase the recycled content in all of our products.
Green Awards
Draper is a community leader in promoting environmentally sustainable practices. In 2007 Draper received the Environmentalist of the Year award from the Three Rivers Solid Waste Management District, based in Henry County, Indiana, the location of Draper's corporate headquarters. The award cites Draper for exceptional leadership in the pursuit of environmental excellence.
Draper received a 2008 Green-Tint Energy Award from the Indiana Energy Savings Initiative and Westinghouse Corporation, given to Indiana companies who effectively reduced their energy footprint by 50 percent.
Recycling: Draper recycles more than 84 tons of materials per month in nine categories. This figure continues to rise. We've also introduced programs for reusing wood and cardboard products, including hundreds of shipping pallets, skids and shipping tubes. We are constantly seeking to increase the efficiency of our energy use.
Draper offers detailed local recycling instructions for old products. Local recycling is far "greener" and makes more sense than costly and wasteful shipping of old product back to the manufacturer for recycling. To facilitate this, Draper provides a recycling locator on the company website, for dealers and others to find recycling centers for vinyl, steel and electronics, located here.

Belarus: Sex, Lies, and YouTube
As the video-sharing site takes off, policy-makers and politicians try to find ways to catch a ride. Including authoritarian Belarus.
YouTube, the wildly popular website, has a new clone from an unlikely competitor. Belarus recently launched its own video-sharing site, called ITV, giving the authoritarian government the distinction of being in the vanguard of a technology trend.
But ITV isn't likely to become the free-for-all site that YouTube has become, mixing homespun videos with political content. In the first place, Belarus remains a nation where information is controlled by President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's regime and where Internet cafes are required to track sites visited by customers. It's "high-tech totalitarian propaganda," one Belarusian journalist said of ITV.
Cost, too, is an impediment. Online connections are expensive in Belarus, making sites like YouTube too expensive for the typical Internet user. The ITV site, however, is subsidized, and telecommunication companies are offering free access to it. Officials are now hoping citizens will choose their less expensive (and more controlled) alternative for video viewing.
ITV may have a limited audience in a nation of 10 million, but YouTube has millions of visitors and has become the leading source of video sharing. The European Union, acknowledging the potential of what has been mostly an American phenomenon known as the "YouTube Effect," has launched a site.
YouTube is primarily a depository for entertaining clips, film and television show trailers, and family videos, but it is also becoming a portal for sharing political messages and satire. It is gaining prominence as mainstream media rebroadcast video clips and as users rebroadcast news programs or manipulate reports and political speeches. The Internet search engine Google paid $1.65 billion in 2006 for the consumer media company that was launched a year earlier, banking on its potential as a source of entertainment and information.
Politicians and policy-makers are starting to take YouTube seriously. In 2006, a widely watched YouTube clip filmed by foreign travelers that showed Chinese soldiers shooting Tibetan refugees spurred the U.S. ambassador to China to publicly denounce the country's treatment of refugees.
This week, candidates in the 2008 U.S. presidential election answered public questions sent in via YouTube clips in a live debate. Earlier this month, Australian Prime Minister John Howard used the site to deliver a video announcement about new environmental policies and funding.
While the United States accounts still for roughly half of registered YouTube users, global traffic is increasing. And to meet regional viewers' demands, Google localized the site in several European languages in June.
The European Union is traditionally known for plodding discourses and multinational policy debates on market liberalization. But the European Commission recently launched its own YouTube channel, EUTube, offering snazzy animations and cheeky video clips related to the EU's work. Some choices include "AIDS, remember me?" and "Europe leads the fight in climate change." Officials say the site will offer audiovisual content to a new audience (about half of YouTube's users are under the age of 20, according to 2006 data) and broaden the EU's appeal.
"This initiative reflects the commission's commitment to better explain its policies and actions on issues which concern citizens across the EU, such as climate change, energy, or immigration," Margot Wallstrom, the commission's vice president in charge of communication strategy, said in a June press conference.
These topics haven't drawn huge audiences. But what has, with nearly 4 million visits in just a few weeks, is the 44-second "Film lovers will love this" clip, which shows scenes of raucous lovemaking from European cinema, and concludes with a line promoting the "coming together" of regional filmmaking.
The clip has drawn varied reactions. Poland, which with its deep Roman Catholic roots is one of most socially conservative EU states, decried the video as inappropriate and demeaning.
Others, satisfied with the global attention, have noted that the clip has publicized EUTube more rapidly than anyone expected.
Sex video or no sex video, EUTube isn't the only recent addition to YouTube's European sphere. Media outlets like the BBC and EUXTV, which has channels in five languages, have a YouTube presence. Poland has a channel for its public broadcaster, TVP. Moreover, Google recently announced 150 content partnerships with other European television and broadcast companies, as well as with several sports teams.
As the site's European appeal broadens, regional powers could mimic these individual examples or take the lead from the EU and local media sources, using YouTube channels as new avenues for disseminating information.
Nonetheless, the launch of EUTube and the convergence of visits to the sexy film clip underscores that YouTube is still more of an entertainment site than a venue for political dialogue and information.
But just as some governments have shut down "old media" and even put bloggers out of business, they are taking action against YouTube and its more hard-hitting offerings. Turkey temporarily blocked the site because of a clip criticizing the modern republic's revered founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Morocco, Iran, and Thailand have also blocked the site at various times.
Belarus is taking a different route. With ITV it is stepping in to provide a censored alternative to YouTube -- in one Belarusian journalist's words, still only a "niche phenomenon."
YouTube, for now, poses little threat to countries that still like to control what the public sees and hears. The mostly English content also limits the potential market. YouTube also requires fast Internet connections, and the number of people with access to the Internet, even in the new EU states, is well behind northern and western Europe. Central Asian and Caucasian countries are even bigger laggards in Internet use, according to the 2006 UN Human Development Report. In Belarus, only about 16 percent of the population uses the Internet, meaning that ITV has a long way to go before it threatens YouTube.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen how other politicians and policy-makers react to the video-sharing sites. For now, Internet users with the money and access can escape from news, chat and blogs by viewing quirky home videos, snippets of the European sex cinema, or reruns of Belarusian news. This may not cause great shifts in policy-making, but politicians and authoritarians are both starting to take notice.

How was your experience?
My husband and I really enjoyed the show. The acting was believable and relatable. The actors were amazing. There were so many thought provoking concepts throughout the play and so much to talk about. It was a bonus that we were able to discuss the show with the director and the actors afterwards. I highly recommend this show.
Don't miss it..

Student or Learner
"I've been shut up here long enough to repent bitterly the destruction of Tiktok. Of course Ozma will have revenge, and send an army to fight us, but we must take our medicine. One thing comforts me: Tiktok wasn't really a live person."
we must take our medicine??
It means a little more than that. It means we must suffer something unpleasant ('deserve to be punished') for our own good. The metaphor refers to unpleasant-tasting medicine:
Child: 'I don't want to take it. It tastes yuck.'
Parent: 'You have to take it. It will do you good. Hold your nose and drink it all down in one go.'
Good afternoon teacher Bobk,
Thanks for your correction, however will be enough kind to explain me why it must be 'to be punished'.
Oh! I am not agreeing with you about your interpretation of 'take our medicine'. I argue my opinion.In the quote the focus of the issue is the war and naturally I in mind It is not to take care of the health person in this extract.
Do you follow the way of what I think?
See you soon.
The French.
In that context your interpretation is right; but often (always among speakers who care about meanings!) there is a sense of being improved in some way. Perhaps this is an English thing. For example, at my oldest brother's school (he is now in his 70s), the boys were expected to shake hands with their teacher after they were punished. The idea was that being punished was good for you. My apologies for ignoring the context.
As for 'being punished', that's just the way it is: in English (as in French) the construction calls for a past participle: punished/puni. The rest of the phrase doesn't work the same in both languages, but they both use a past participle.
