If a student is constantly being bullied, just letting it to continue happening will only cause the student to feel insecure and not confident in themselves and their abilities. I f the student is home schooled, they will gain confidence and then be able to deal with bullies more effectively. I believe that this WILL NOT teach students to run away from problems, but will on the contrary, teach them that they can do something about their problems rather than just putting up with it.
Kids get bullied every day and need a better place at home with family to comfort them and help instead of bad teachers not doing their job with the bad kids like the boys that put a 2 years old on the train tracks with medal and killed him when the train came and they were happy.
Learning to deal with a bully as a child can severely leave the child with anger issues as an adult. If you spend your entire childhood life fighting off bullies kids could eventually result to one of two things: either hurt themselves or someone else. Then, once they become an adult the emotional scars of that lifestyle could very easily cause them to cause harm to others when angered. However, leaving an ongoing harmful environment to focus on other things that are healthy for the mind and body tends to create a well round adult. Who has learned to handle a disagreement without violence.
If a child is being messed with in school, it can create a low self esteem and make it hard for the child to focus on school lessons. My son was picked on for being bigger than the other kids. He is 9 but already 5 feet tall. I've home schooled for a year and he is thriving. Also, I'm not concerned with socialization. My son can carry on a conversation with anyone, any age.
Personally I have been bullied for some time and schools aren't doing their jobs. This is making the victim more and more questionable each day. Bullying is not a nice experience so if you move into a new school you will have to rebuild all that confidence back up and In my opinion it could get worse than before so it'll just come crashing down!
Home schooling is a better way of getting out of the problem because you will be able to know your comfortable with your choice and you don't get hate for something so stupid like spots, hair, how you look etc...
This is the best way.
In the real, non-school world, verbal and physical abuse is not tolerated. And people are usually mature enough (or are aware enough of the negative consequences) to not resort to hitting, punching, or throwing stones at one another. School is an artificial environment that throws together children that are the same age and maturity level, and expects adults to be able to be responsible for 30+ children without giving adults the tools they need to monitor and promote positive and stop negative behaviors. It's strange that people think of school as the "real world" when it is so incredibly unlike anything you'll ever encounter in the real world.
No one "needs" to be exposed to bullying in their life. You aren't developing some important life skill by handling a bully. The very definition of bullying is verbal or physical abuse. What is the lesson anyone is learning by being bullied? As an adult, what do you do if someone verbally or physically assaults you? Do you feel this was a critical skill you needed to learn in childhood? And then what of those kids that never get bullied? Are they missing an important lesson?
All bullying does is put kids in impossible situations where they may have to step out of their values to handle (i.E. Punch the bully back). It subjects them to a situation where they are being devalued and suffer long emotional scars. There is zero reason why a child needs this to develop a skill. I believe the question isn't about whether the child is missing out on a skill by being pulled from school over bullying. The question is whether or not this is a problem for the parent who will then have to homeschool their child. Homeschooling or a new school are the best options for a bullying situation that is not corrected by the school or the other child's parents.
I think that homeschooling is better because your child is safe from bullies and he can learn in peace. Why should some maniac bully my child.I think that we need to punish the bully s parents .For every bullying report the parents should pay a fine.If they pay a fine they will tell their kid to stop.
Kids trust us to keep them safe. We may not be able to control other children's meanness but we sure can take them out of harms way. Children should not have to fend for himself or figure out how to solve the bullying problem as some suggest. They are children. They need us to protect them.They deserve our protection. In many situations, homeschooling is the answer. Th great news; with online homeschooling programs like the ones we have at www.LearningByGrace.org,any parent can successfully and easily and affordably homeschool.
Even the people think they are get it out or run for a problem, just the weak people can't understand you are teaching responsability for their own.. You don´t like Home Schooling because you want Goverment aprovement... The bullying needs to be treated out the bullying enviroment.. When the child feel recovered, and with high posibilities to comfront their bullies, always have the option to turn back on scholarship... Switch schools is a stupid argument, because they say that bullies are everywhere... If you say to your son that you are change because the bullie, he felt you don't trust in him.. You have to support and say him thats a new adventure and got the best tools to treat his bullie historial...
Bullies are everywhere, from school to the workplace. Bullies are the problem, so deal with them. It isn't fair to socially harm the child just because a snot nose little kid is bullying them. If the bullying is so bad, tell the victims to slug the bullies in the nose. Homeschooling only teaches kids that running from their problems is a viable option. In the real world, they will face adversity and will have to overcome it. Don't teach them that hiding away will make things better.
Homeschooling is the best option for anyone who wants to improve on social skills (yes, it's counter-intuitive, but I base this on experience, as my public speaking skills, and social skills, have definitely improved since I made the switch), and their academic ability, not to mention their sleep schedule.
However, in terms of bullying, it's not the best option. If a kid gets bullied on a regular basis, suggest boxing lessons. If the system doesn't like that response to bullies, i.e. suspending the kid for defending himself with his fists, then THAT'S the time to consider homeschooling. In other words, let the kid solve the bullying problem himself, and then homeschool him.
I said this in one of my debates:
Psycology Today featured an article on Izzie Kalman, who explained that pulling kids out of homeschool due to bullying is actually not a good idea. She says: "Homeschooling is a poor way to try to remedy a bullying problem. The children will learn absolutely nothing about why they are having the problem and how to solve it. If they go back to the same school, the problem is likely to recur. Sometimes a school change will solve the problem, so I prefer that as a solution rather than homeschooling. The absolutely best solution is for the kids to be taught how to stop being bullied on their own." Two very important points are made here. Firstly, pulling kids out of homeschool will teach kids to run away from their problems instead of solving them. Secondly, the child will eventually have to return to school/the real world. If the child has no idea how to cope with bullying, how will they survive? This may seem a little harsh, but the best solution in the instance of bullying is either contacting the school, or in worst case scenario, switching schools. Also, private school may be a good option to consider in a situation such as this because it will expose the child to a slightly different atmosphere.
By using homeschooling as the "solution" to bullying is like hiding from the problem. People who are bullied In most cases lack confidence, and homeschooling will make them, overtime, forget whatever social skills and confidence they already had. The victim of bullying needs to get the confidence to face the bully and get the bully to stop. With home schooling you just take the bully away, and while this might be effective for a while, life is full of bullies. You will find them in other schools, online, at work, where you live, practically everywhere. At the next school the kid attends, there will probably be more bullies. The best way to begin getting confidence is through making friends that will have your back, which can really help a bullying victim. When you are homeschooled, you can't do this. If the student felt lonely already because of the bullying, taking away their friends will make it worse since the student will see them less. Overall, homeschooling could potentially worsen the bullying situation for the kid. Some problems will only go away when they are dealt with by the victim, especially bullying cases.
Kids should be able to solve their problems and not runaway. When parents take their kids out of public schools it teaches them that if something is hurting them they should give up. Kids that are bullied should stand up and fix their issue. Homeschooling is not a solution for bullying.
Bullying is a word being way overused. Students, children, and even some adults need to grow up and step up. We have taught our kids that the minute someone says something that makes them get upset could be considered "bullying". While I completely understand there are real situations where the bullying is out of control and completely unacceptable, plus there is cyber-bullying which never used to exist, however there will always be bullying in schools and real life. Kids need to learn to deal with reality and the world that will exist outside of school. If for whatever reason, the bullying is taking things to the next level, then additional or alternative options should be explored.

Normal Position (Or, another reason I don't race a Laser)
Q …does a capsized boat correctly finish if she crosses the finishing line when:
(a) all of the crew members are (somehow) on board even though the boat is capsized,
(b) some of the crew members are not on board but are very close to the boat and trying to straighten it out, or
(c) some of the crew members are not on board because they have become disconnected from the boat and its equipment, but are swimming to reach the capsized boat
A: Yes. It is normal for dinghies to capsize and therefore a capsized dinghy and its crew in the water are in a normal position. It follows that a boat finishes correctly in all the conditions stated in the question....
(Adapted from ISAF Q&A 2008-002)
Now why would people want to race a boat that is normally capsized? It's bad enough when these Laser sailors cause all sorts of confusion sailing by the lee with downwind windward banana overlaps or whatever (you'll have to look it up in volume 57 of the Laser Class Rules Encyclopedia or some such); what sorts of rules confusions are going to result when they sail by the turtled hull?
And how do you determine which boat has right of way when we have turtled-hull Lasers racing, even if they aren't sailing by the lee with downwind windward banana overlaps?
Let me race a boat that's normally right-side-up, thank you very much.

Martial arts and an awesome weekend.
I spent this weekend at a live roleplaying event in Stoke. Very kindly the Gryphons faction wrote an event about my character's background. After a weekend of fighting ninja and hanging out with my friends the fights and the physical challenges offered by the site has got me thinking about martial arts and my physical capabilities.
I started Martial arts after watching a Shaolin Monk show. I began my training at Ancestral Mountains Kung Fu training with Matt Williams who has since gone on to teach Eagle Claw Kung Fu.
In 2007 after attending a Miao Doa (Grain Leaf Sabre) Seminar by Mike Martello (who has sadly since passed away.) K8 and I got the opportunity to go to China to spend a month learning Tai Chi and Ba Gua. We got to go thanks to the generosity of our friends and we chronicled our experiences in a blog here (I later co opted the blog to chat about Gaming).
K8's Background in martial arts comes from Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. We found a local school and trained with them for a short while.
Recently we have come back to martial arts and are currently training Tai Chi with Cherry from Surrey and Hants Tai chi.
Kung Fu and Martial arts were the first thing that made me realise that I was capable of more than I expected of myself. After three years of Kung Fu I could do things that I never thought I would be capable of. Both from an agility and from a fighting standpoint.
To help myself get back to the level of capability I had I am going to set some goals. Each largley inspired by someone I have trained with or fought alongside at a larp event.
Tom is a guy from Live Roleplaying and a Bronze medalist with a Katana. He is one of the peopel I want to beat on my way to being the best larp sword fighter.
Calum is a guy I used to train Kung Fu with he has gone on to make a living doing and teaching Parkour. His Jumping and Backflips are something I want to be able to do.
I mentioned Mike above and His fluidity of movement and grace as well as the focus he had whenever he held a weapon is something I want to emulate.
Who inspires you to improve what you can do?

"It is probably true, as some have argued, that sympathy for Leninism on the part of English and American liberal opinion in the twenties was swung by consideration of home politics. But it was also due to simple misinformation"
Title: Speak, Memory
Author: Vladimir Nabokov
Year: 1967
Pages: 251
Speak, Memory is Nabokov's memoir. I don't like being negative about him, again, because I still feel he was a great author, but yet again, this book was not enjoyable for me. It was well written, that's for sure, and most of the stories were interesting as well: you find out many themes which reoccur in his books, were drawn from his own life. But there was something that bothered me throughout the novel to the extent that I genuinely could not appreciate it. As a memoir at least.
As I'd been studying Nabokov for a while when I read this, I felt the need to distrust him. I felt that probably nothing was true anyway. An author, in most his novels, is mysterious, needs to be figured out, and is often a persona of Nabokov himself. While I know now, that I shouldn't have approached this novel with such caution, it held me back constantly.
Just know that, if you're going to read this book, it is actually quite trustworthy. Just read it as a memoir, but keep in mind that memoires are objective – perhaps more so when it's one written by Nabokov.

- Lahr, Bert Originally Irving Lahrheim. 1895-1967. American entertainer who appeared in many dramas, musicals, and films, most notably as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Actually Raph, the idling thing at intersection can be solved by reprogramming the lights at intersections, they did it in Lahr, Germany where I was posted, you were encouraged to turn you car off at red lights so what they would do, is the light would change from Red to Amber for ten seconds before going green to let you know to restart your car.
For Six Hours Vancouver Came To A Stop For One Woman « Unambiguously Ambidextrous
Jurgen Weber was born in Lahr, in the Black Forest.
"We have pretty good views on where pockets of risk are," Mr. Lahr said.
In December 2009 Pimco tapped Anne Gudefin and Charles Lahr , former co-managers of Franklin Templeton Investments' Mutual Global Discovery Fund, to run the Pathfinder fund, which aims to invest globally with a focus on undervalued stocks with less volatility.
Bert Lahr, the star, played five different parts—one of them in drag—and was by all accounts a sensation.
Now it remains in limbo, awaiting a first-class stage comedian who can do what Mr. Lahr did, plus a supporting cast that's strong enough to stand up to him.
The movie was based upon the 1900 novel by Frank L. Baum of the same name and starred Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, and a whole lot of little people.
It was performed live and features Ethel Merman in the role she indelibly stamped forever, along with a game Frank Sinatra and Bert Lahr.
Michael Giltz: DVDs: Tracy and Hepburn -- The Greatest Screen Team Of All Time
He brought depth to his portrayal of a vaudeville star in The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968), which also featured Jason Robards, Britt Ekland and Bert Lahr.
The cast, which includes Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, and Margaret Hamilton, is almost beyond critique.

It's here: http://www.mp3.com/prlj/ It's called "Alex's Song"...there's the full length version (temporarily up for this purpose) and a "sample" version containing only about a minute long snippet of the song.

SC State University's I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium presents "The Reckoning" on Thursday, Mar. 11, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. Following the film, a discussion and reception will take place with director Paco de Onis. This is a free event.
"The Reckoning" was produced by Pamela Yates and directed by Paco de Onis as part of the Southern Arts Federation's Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. "The Reckoning" is a new paradigm for global justice. It was filmed at International Criminal Court (ICC) headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands for three years. Launched in 2002, the ICC is the first international tribunal of its kind. It is a permanent criminal court created to prosecute individuals for crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.
"The Reckoning," is a feature-length documentary which follows prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo, deputy prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, and senior trial attorney, Christine Chung, as they issue arrest warrants for the Lord's Resistance Army leaders in Uganda. They also place four Congolese warlords on trial at The Hague, Netherlands and challenge the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to support the ICC's call for an arrest warrant for the president of Sudan on charges of genocide, shaking up the Colombian justice system.
The film also depicts dramatic ICC justice and the international law created and enforced by the voices of the people involved in international conflict. In the film, the audience will get a glimpse of people who are captured taking a stand against what can be done in order to end impunity as a result of notorious criminals. It also showcases the international justice movement.
Multi-lingual, fluently speaking Spanish, Portuguese, English, Italian and French, de Onís grew up in Latin America. De Onís produced the following documentaries: "On Our Own Terms," "Secrets from the Grave," "Police Force Paramedics" and "Edgewise."
Yates is the recipient of the 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship. She is the director of the Sundance Award-winning "When the Mountains Tremble," producer of "Loss of Innocence," and the executive producer of "Witness to War." Yates is the co-founder of Skylight Pictures, Inc. with de Onís and is a member of the Director's Guild of America (DGA) and The Writers Guild of America (WGA).

Results From Week Five of Atlanta Motor Speedway's O'Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags & Show-N-Shine
Drag racers took to Atlanta Motor Speedway's pit lane drag strip on Friday night with hopes of building on strong early season starts in Week 5 of O'Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags & Show-N-Shine, the Speedway's weekly summer drag racing series.
David Harbin of Hampton in his 1969 Chevrolet Nova and David Clevenger of Hampton in his 1975 Chevrolet Vega entered Friday's action in the Pro Division tied for the top spot after each earned a win in one of the first two events of the points season.
Harbin took the division lead with a semi-final win over Clevenger and earned the final round victory when he defeated the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda piloted by Jim Jones of Jonesboro.
"It was a great final run," said Harbin. "I just waited till he left so I wouldn't red light. The track has been really good to us this year."
Sheldon Maynard of Hampton in a 1972 Chevrolet C10 earned his first win on the pit lane drag strip as he drove past James Ragsdale of Union City in a 1979 Ford F100 for the Truck Division finals.
"It was a pretty good run," said Maynard. "I had to tip-toe at the line because of the street tires, but other than that it was pretty good."
In the Jailhouse Brewing Company Super Pro Division, Arnie Cobb of Locust Grove in a 1974 Chevrolet Nova won his third consecutive points final by defeating Tony Byrd of Stockbridge in a 1986 Ford Thunderbird.
Kelly Morgan of Jonesboro moved into a tie for the top spot in the Harding Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Division with Andrew Morgan of McDonough with a final round victory over Chris Morgan of Jackson. In a 1968 Ford Mustang, Kelly used a quick jump off the start to roll past Chris and his 1966 Ford Mustang in the final.
Other Week 5 winners included Kirk Pennywitt of Sharpsburg behind the wheel of a 2013 Tesla Model S in the Factory Street Division. Will Coots earned the win in the Truck Advanced Division in his 1985 Chevrolet C10, while Mendes Porter of Forest Park in 1991 Chevrolet S10 was the winner in the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Division.

To the editor:
Recently, SWFL Indivisible group submitted a letter to the mayors and city council members of Cape Coral and Fort Myers, as well as each Lee County commissioner urging them to unite with the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda. That letter states:
In November of 2016, nearly every nation in the world, with the exception of Syria and Nicaragua, entered into a historic agreement on climate change. The Paris Agreement is an unparalleled climate accord, which aims to slow down the worldwide temperature increase. Despite the consensus among 98% of scientists that drastic human behavior changes must be made in order to save our planet from inescapable extinction, President Trump declared that he intends to withdraw the United States from the agreement. It is our sincere hope that you will follow the numerous mayors and governors across the country who have chosen to support this pact. Moving forward on this with the strength of our states and municipal governments, is what will truly protect America, and the world.
There are many moral reasons to uphold the Paris Agreement. These include: saving our planet for future generations, improving our present quality of life with cleaner air and water, and reducing environmental health risks for our citizens and visitors. Putting principles aside, upholding this agreement as a city and county is not without economic benefit. Southwest Florida is geographically prime for being a leader in the growth of renewable energy, including geothermal, solar, and wind power. The allure of these industries would draw companies from around the globe to our region, and allow Southwest Florida to be a leader in what is the ultimate path of energy in our world. Furthermore, we need not mention the importance of our unique habitat to the tourism sector of our economy (although perhaps the home and business owners on U.S. 41 would like ocean front property some day). The job opportunities, including high paying positions in the energy sector, are what Southwest Florida needs in order to ensure a sustainable and relevant economy.
As you may know, Lee, Charlotte and Collier counties are among the top 20 fastest growing metro areas in the country. With this growth, how are we to sustain ourselves economically or environmentally? This makes it even more imperative to complement our growth by making efforts to achieve and surpass the goals of the Paris Agreement. Achieving these targets is healthy for our planet, nation, state, and all of southwest Florida. We implore you to connect and unite with the Mayors National Climate Action Agenda. Our vision should be: when Americans, world citizens, and future generations think of healthy environments, we want them to think of Southwest Florida.
Allison Lund and Brad Karpel

How Priceline is trouncing the pessimists
With so many published stories forecasting a dire summer for a disaster-hit travel industry, Priceline caught stock markets out. Sally White reports
The world's largest OTA thoroughly trounced the pessimists and beat Q2 forecasts and its own guidance on all counts. Both agency and merchant businesses are showing strong momentum, room nights are growing at an accelerating rate, rental cars are strong and the only weak point is airline tickets.
In a conference-call with analysts last week Priceline said that recent terrorist attacks in Belgium and France had hurt travel to those countries but pushed travellers to other destinations like south Spain and Portugal. For Europe overall there had been "little damping of demand". Even Brexit and the fall in sterling were, it said, expected to have "minimal effect" as UK destination gross profit and source gross bookings were only around 10% of the business.
Priceline also said that hotel chains' marketing campaigns to attract direct booking from travellers had had minimal effect, too. Comment from interim CEO Jeffrey Boyd was: "At some point, it actually might not be a great idea to push the market and push consumers to expect only discounted prices."
The actual numbers for Q2 were: room nights up 24% on a year ago at 141 million, gross travel bookings up 19% at $17.9 billion and underlying earnings up eight per cent at $867 million. The shares, up 7% so far this year, rose 5% more on the news.
So, no one believes Priceline is not going exceed its own guidance again in Q3. It is targeting room nights up 18-23%, gross travel bookings up 14-19% and revenue up 12-17% on a year ago.
There was also good news for Facebook. In the conference-call Jeffrey Boyd said he expects lower returns in the current quarter from bookings generated from Priceline advertising, much of which goes through Alphabet's Google. As a result Priceline plans to increase spending on Facebook's targeted ads. "We found that a number of things we've done on Facebook work well," he said. "We would like to spend more money on Facebook going forward."
Higher advertising costs were one of the factors cited by Priceline when it warned a few months ago that the second-quarter figures might disappoint. In the event neither those, nor the adverse effect of currency moves, stopped Priceline announcing great figures.
Priceline moved in with a clever strategy by first offering Ctrip access to American hotel listings through Booking.com
Dr KC Ma, Professor of Finance, Stetson University
Looking for explanations for just why Priceline's numbers were better than those of rival Expedia, online news site US News quoted investment specialist Dr K C Ma, at Stetson University, who put it down to the stake in China Ctrip. His view was that: "After Expedia's failure to compete in China in 2011, Priceline moved in with a clever strategy by first offering Ctrip access to American hotel listings through Booking.com, a subsidiary of Priceline. After $1 billion invested, today Priceline owns a 15% stake in Ctrip, a high-growth player in today's global travel industry." First-quarter revenue at Ctrip was up 80%!
Taking apart the numbers, analysts at Zacks research group in Chicago said that Priceline generates the bulk of its revenue from international markets "where the agency model is more popular". A Zack's report commented: "This is reflected in the merchant/agency split of revenue, which was 22/70% in the last quarter (previous quarter split was 20/72%)." Merchant revenues were up 10.2% sequentially and down 5.2% year over the year. Agency revenue grew 23.5% per cent sequentially and 17.1% on a year ago.
Advertising & Other revenue was up 3.9% sequentially and up 21.6% from last year, accounting for the balance. "This is basically non inter-company revenue from Kayak and OpenTable, of which OpenTable grew 22% year over year. The restaurant reservation service that Priceline acquired some time back is rapidly building on the number of restaurants in North America and also expanding internationally," it added.
Priceline's room night growth is attributable to its very geographically diverse inventory and brand recognition that tends to balance out macro uncertainties…
Room nights, rental car days and airline ticket volumes grew a respective 24.4%, 7.6% and 4.8% from last year. "Priceline's room night growth is attributable to its very geographically diverse inventory and brand recognition that tends to balance out macro uncertainties related to any one market as well as growing competition from local and international players. The company did however see ADRs declining. Rentalcars.com also did quite well but there was some softness in ticket volumes," said the analysts.
Management stopped breaking out US and international bookings this year but is providing some colour on some gross profit contributions. Merchant bookings were up 19.1% year-on-year and agency bookings grew 19.4% on a year ago.
Yet to be announced is the name of the group's new CEO. Not that investors are fretting that Boyd is once again running Priceline. He oversaw a decade of tremendous growth as the CEO between 2002 and 2013. In April he stepped back in on an interim basis when Darren Huston resigned after an internal investigation revealed an inappropriate relationship he had with a co-worker.
The search for a permanent successor is still underway. Meanwhile Boyd is one again delivering great numbers.

"Before you were born, the bankers operated a scam intended to rob all members of the 'general public'. They removed all forms of money and replaced it with worthless notes which read "I promise to pay the bearer..." with another worthless bank note (FIAT Currency).
They then managed to do away with the Government and replace is with groups of commercial companies which they own. They cunningly named these companies so that they 'look' like Government. They took over the printing of the worthless bank notes with their private company called "The Bank of England" which is meant to sound like a Government Organisation, although it MOST DEFINITELY is NOT.
The next step, in their 'lets be honest here' quite clever plan, was to get their company which sounds like the Government, to ask their other company "The Bank of England" to print them lots of (worthless) money and to charge interest on that money, over and above the face 'value' of the Currency. This excess interest amount is called "The National Debt" in order to fool ordinary people into believing that their Country some how owes somebody large amounts of money.
So FIRSTLY, there is really NOTHING owed at all. SECONDLY, there IS no money. THIRDLY, the Country does not owe anything, and in the unlikely event that there were a genuine debt, then it has nothing to do with ordinary people any way as it is just a notional debt incurred by one commercial company to another commercial company! (ALL owned by the same people)
This supposed debt has been boosted over the years to a ridiculous level which could NEVER, EVER be paid off, and you will no doubt be glad to learn that all income tax is now paid to the owners of these commercial companies. Isn't it great to be paying vast sums of money to a commercial company which has never done ANYTHING for you and which holds you in utter contempt because you havent discovered their SCAM and continue to pay lots of ridiculous taxes, fee's and charges! None of which, by the way, you have to pay at all! All combined, these charges amount to nearly 80% of a persons earned income!
Do you enjoy living on one fifth of what you COULD have HAD!?
Anyway, to strengthen their SCAM, they have invented a Language of Lies called 'Legalese' or 'Legal Terminology' where they have 'GET THIS!'...changed the meanings of ordinary English words in order to Abuse & Rob ordinary members of the public!
They have set up yet another company called "The Law Society" to train up unscrupulous people in their methods of madness, lies and deception. Their commercial company which pretends to be the Government, keeps inventing new 'Statutes' which they 'pretend' are Laws (and are MOST DEFINITELY NOT) and they keep this game up by telling everybody that " THEY MUST OBEY THESE LAWS" and they have even subverted Police Men & Police Women into 'Police Officers' and convinced them that they have to enforce these Statutes.
The primary aim of these Statutes is to take banknotes, goods and property from members of the public who have not yet discovered that it is a scam being run 'secretly' against them. Many Police Officers are probably themselves ignorent of the fact that Statutes are purely optional and NO 'Human' is actually bound by them.
SO what you decide to do is entirely up to yourself. You can continue to give away most of your income to fund people who want to take, harm & steal from you OR you can decide to step 'outside' this corrupt system we are almost forced to be living in, and stop paying these people.
ALL humans are born equal, so there is nobody who has the RIGHT to order you around, unless you agree to give them that right (By Consent) Acts & Statutes can be given the 'FORCE' of Law, only with Consent. SO DO NOT CONSENT.
The choice is yours to make BUT Knowledge is Power - UK has already made that choice, and that choice is FREEDOM from a Government that cant GOVERN.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! - Knowledge is Power - UK."

Fashion Week NYC: Top 10 Songs for the Runway
Getty Images
Models are lining up, hems are being sewn, and an array of spring fashions are about to sweep through Lincoln Center for the semi-annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. But everyone knows that New York Fashion Week is never just about the clothes.
Musicians will be performing at shows, a few will be sitting front-and-center, and others will be able to kick back as their beats pump from speakers around the catwalk. In preparation for a non-stop week of style and sound, we've selected 10 songs we're hoping to hear on the runways this season.
'Pound the Alarm'
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj has showed us a range of unique -- and sometimes crazy -- styles this year, but the industry is still head-over-heels in love with the fashion risk-taker. Whether she's covered in feather headdresses, pink wigs or metal bodysuits, the "Starships" singer creates hits that beg to be on the catwalk. This vigorous, strut-worthy track would perfectly accentuate a grungy collection shimmering with bits of femininity -- perhaps at Betsey Johnson's show?
'Wine and Chocolates'
Theophilus London
Theophilus London already had his beats remixed into shows and performed on a Rebecca Minkoff runway last season, and now he's back with a sound that belongs on the catwalk. The rapper's "Wine and Chocolates" oozes with a swagger that speaks to the grime and style of inner city life.
'One Of A Kind'
With Korean music flooding the States this summer, it only seems appropriate for Fashion Week to embrace the K-pop wave. South Korean rapper and singer G-Dragon has crafted posh tracks laced with attitude that would match any bold, adventurous collection.
Brigitte Bardot
French model-turned-songstress Brigitte Bardot revealed her flare for seduction in this intimate track, perfect for fashion shows steeped in femininity, sex and beauty.
'Van Vogue'
Azealia Banks
Azealia Banks' upbeat tempos and unapologetic lyrics have already dazzled industry titans like Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander Wang, and her "1991" EP will likely be a favorite at NYFW. "Van Vogue's" pop-punk sound will accentuate the austere beauty and boldness of a spring collection, and the harsh melodies will bring some much-needed swagger to the New York runways.
NEXT: Taylor Swift, Fiona Apple, The Cure and More
The Cure
Covered by Adele on her 2011 album "21," the original "Lovesong" by The Cure would bring in a retro vibe and create a calm but sexualized mood on the catwalk.
Fiona Apple
Fiona Apple's artistic sound is perfect for a collection of ornate details and bold silhouettes, while "Daredevil's" subtle percussive rhythms and fragile melodies are made for the runway.
'Addicted To You'
Madame Mayhem
The hypnotic rhythm, bubbling with unkempt glamour and intrigue, of Madame Mayhem's "Addicted to You" would beautifully highlight spring collections loaded with leather and bondage-inspired elements.
Moby's "Go" is a beautiful spring anthem of love, lust and intrigue, all fused together in one salacious mix. This gentle tune, paired with lingerie-inspired looks, would rock the runway.
'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'
Taylor Swift
Not an obvious choice for the runway, but Taylor Swift's mellow and alluringly joyful sounds would be the perfect accent to those intimate warm-weather collections rich in sheer cotton and flirty lace.

An elderly couple were found beaten and stabbed to death Thursday night in their spacious two-story home in an unincorporated area just west of Canoga Park, Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives said Friday.
The bodies of Marvin Spitz, 70, and his wife, Myrtle, 68, were found about 8:40 p.m. in their house in the 24600 block of Kittridge Street, deputies said.
The couple probably had been dead about two days, Lt. Charles Elliott said.
There were no signs of ransacking, burglary, robbery or forced entry, and detectives have not established a motive for the slayings, Elliott said.
Children Called Deputies
Deputies were called to the home Thursday night by the couple's son, who became concerned when he and a sister were unable to reach their parents on the telephone. Deputies broke into the home and found Marvin Spitz's body in the living room. His wife's body was in the kitchen, Elliott said.

These are great, an english fashion classic, a revival in the classic shirt style. One would do well to shape up and get some of these.

I remember the sticky pine wreath and tree sap, weeping through my mittens, leaving little black fuzz on my fingers and a pleasant smell on my mind. Crazy Mistletoe traps hovered over doors, snatching perfectly sane adults in their grasp, only to urge them to pull me into a conspiracy of kisses. Yams, hams and Rankin Bass Christmas classic clay animation classics, with endless sequential stories of optimistic triumph over holiday tribulation, marched along the beating drum of carols and musical tributes. Where did mom hide those presents? Can I guess what's in this box?
There I was, Christmas eve, waiting in my grandmother's house for Santa's arrival. A brisk winter wind would usher the gnarled fingers from that craggy old oak, across a roof shingle or two. I would whisper over to my sister.
"Did you hear that?!"
I gasped, slipping from underneath the quilt, and padding to the window. I could feel the frigid breath of winter crystals kissing my cheek, through the leaky, creaky window sash, as I pressed on the glass, trying to purchase a glimpse.
"Shhhh! Quiet! Get back to bed!"My sister would caution me, reminding me that if Santa detected my awakened state, he would hurry off to the next house, leaving us unadorned by gifts. She was bigger, but none the wiser. She also reminded me that if I scared St. Nick off, she would quickly cast my broken body on her scales of sibling justice, for my curious folly.
To my relief, the next morning, there was that brand new box full of Tinkertoys, the Erector set or a dazzling box of Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots. Stumbling in excitement and pajamas, in the midst of the smell of Christmas morning bacon sizzling, hot buttered toast, steaming rich cocoa and pancakes, we would shower each other in the confetti of exhausted bows and paper. Gramps would have to shoo us into the television den, since our rough housing had upended Gram's ashtray, bringing a brief orange shower down on her seasoned wood floor, still fuming from an early wash of Murphy's Oil soap, wicking between the cracks.
As I get older, the things I cherish about Christmas are those very things that make tradition so important to people. I don't care much about gifts these days. The sounds, the tastes, the ornaments, music and gentle touches of the holiday mean much more to me now.
I know many people never grow out of selfishness. I know many people have painful Christmas holiday memories, often brought on by self-imposed emotional obligations. I have been through enough of those years, sometimes ruined by my own selfishness. It's all part of accepting the perpetual imperfection of our lives, I suppose.
Ultimately, isn't selflessness and human imperfection the lesson taught to us, by the human being who's name and birth are celebrated every Christmas?

We are starting to see some good, old fashioned rivalries rise up at Speedway 660 this season. In case you haven't noticed, racing is a competitive sport and when the competition heats up, racers are going to lean on each other, try to intimidate each other and do whatever it takes to get over to the Speedway 660 Victory Lane!
Rick Cashol, the defending RV World Street Stock champion, is no stranger to rivalries at Speedway 660!
