Use the Pregnancy Calculator to:
When was the first day of your last menstrual period?
Enter the date of your last menstrual period and the number of days in your menstrual cycle into the pregnancy calculator, and click on the Calculate button. Other calculations are optional - use them when needed.
On average, there are 28 days in a menstrual cycle, but it can last from as little as 22 to as many as 44 days. The Pregnancy Calculator takes your menstrual cycle into account when calculating the due date and the conception date.
Also, the Pregnancy Calculator needs the number of days in your menstrual cycle when calculating the likely conception date from the given birthday or the due date.

Water Moccasin (Snake)
Tour your yard before letting the dog or cat out; remove anything snakes could hide into, like empty flower pots, buckets, moist wood piles, trash burn piles. Avoid tall grass. Use mothballs around your property to keep away water moccasins. Mothballs release fumes that are harsh and painful to a snake's smell receptors. Mothballs should be spread around the perimeter of your property,
along wood lines and around porches, ditches and pool area for best results. All snakes can swim.
Make sure to wear thick protective clothing including thick jeans, work gloves and boots to protect your extremities in case you encounter a snake. Use a rake and slowly disturb any piles you may have in your yard--be careful the snake could be hiding underneath.
Be sure to have someone with you in case of an accident.
A snake on land can only lunge forward (strike) a distance of half of its body length. A snake on water does not have a solid surface to thrust against, so its strike range while swimming is extremely limited.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

I think you're not giving this play due credit. I found it to be an incredibly intelligent piece about the psychopathology of everyday life--the hidden desire of men to be undone by beautiful women; the masochism inherent in the creative process; and the unknowability of human desire.
Most interesting, I think it explores whether we still have any interest in experiencing the operatic passions of Romanticism in our present feminist age or whether we prefer to dismiss them as sexist nonsense.
My wife dismisses opera as silly and sexist; I weep uncontrollably. She's right, of course, but I can't help wondering if something very important is being lost or perhaps denied about who we are.
I agree that Ives reaches for big themes. I disagree, however, that he lands any; he certainly gestures wittily in their direction, but that's not quite the same thing (although it IS entertaining, and these days, that counts for a lot). Mr. Ives is very intelligent, yes - but that doesn't mean he's actually a dramatist.
I likewise think Ives would agree with you (as I'm inclined to do) that men are far more romantic than women, and whether that aspect of their nature can survive feminism is an open question. BUT, again, I wouldn't argue he actually poses that question theatrically.
As for your wife - she is certainly dead wrong about opera, so go ahead and cry. And find somebody ELSE to go to the opera with.

I've quoted extracts from "The Invention of the Jewish People" a couple of times before (link and link) so let me give a broader overview of it now. It's one of the most thought-provoking books I've read in a while. It poses enormous challenges to Jewish ideology and self-image but also a few for those of us who are critics of Jews. The author, Shlomo Sand, is a former professor of history at Tel Aviv university. He generally comes across as a leftist who wants Israel to stop being an "ethnocracy" [a word he uses] and more like a "normal" democracy, such as the countries of western Europe or the USA. (See here (link) for an exposition of his politics and worldview). That is the political agenda his history is written to serve.
The essence of the book is his argument that the Jews are not, and never have been, an ethnically pure people; and that they continue to cherish this fantasy in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The Jewish avoidance of proselytism and distaste for would-be converts is well-known (at least among the red-pilled) in the present day. But Sand argues that it has not always been so. He quotes Jewish population figures from various times and shows that certain massive growth spurts could not possibly have come about through natural increase. In other words, the Jews were engaging in proselytism and conversion, on a mass scale. His contention is that Judaism originally competed with Christianity for converts but when Christianity gained the upper hand and was adopted officially by the Roman empire, Jewish proselytism was forbidden. Something similar happened in the later Islamic empires. Thereafter proselytism was confined to outlying regions where imperial edicts could not be enforced. Sand argues that Sephardi Jews (Sefarad means Spain), were largely North African converts to Judaism. There was also significant Jewish proselytism among Arabs. Indeed, Sand's account confirms claims about the similarities between Jews and Muslims and sheds light on why they exist (link and link).
The most controversial part of Sand's argument is his claim that Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Khazars, a grouping of east European Turkic/Slavic peoples who converted to Judaism in the 8th century. There are suggestions in the historical record that not all of the Khazars converted to Judaism, only the upper stratum of society. This suggests a possible explanation for the higher average intelligence exhibited by Ashkenazi Jews. If you took the upper stratum of any society, you would find it had a higher average intelligence. If that upper stratum then adopted an ideology that called for the avoidance of outmarriage, you could expect its genetic distinctiveness to be preserved to a high degree.
One of the things that continues to intrigue and puzzle me about Jews, even as I spend much of my time reading what they write and what others have written about them, is their obsessive hostility to Russia. You see this almost every day in the press, endless articles about "the Russian threat", "The Menace of Putin", etc. You can see the rationale, from a morally myopic ethnic perspective, for most items on the Jewish agenda. They support Israel cuz it's their country; they support immigration to dilute the demographic strength of the majority population; they support restrictions on free speech cuz the goy shouldn't be allowed to say bad things about the Chosen and anyway it might lead to A New Holocaust. But the animus towards Russia doesn't make any obvious sense.
My best hypothesis previously was that it represented some kind of would-be revenge for "The Tsarist Pogroms", even though these pogroms are largely an imaginary construct the Jews have confected and Communist tyranny could reasonably be considered an appropriate quittance for almost any act of wrong-doing. Sand's book has suggested another hypothesis to me, although he does not mention it himself. Jewish Russophobia might be the Revenge of the Khazars. Because it was Russia that defeated and disempowered the Khazar kingdom, although Mongols delivered the fatal blow some time later. Could the Khazar-descended Jews continue to have nurture some folk memory of this? Even if the conscious memory has been lost, could the anti-Russian memes it must have inspired somehow have trickled down across the generations? Or is there such a thing as ancestral antagonism, hostility in the genes?
When did the great Khazar empire collapse? In the past it was assumed by many that it happened in the second half of the tenth century. The principality of Kiev, out of which grew the first Russian kingdom, was for many years a vassal of the rulers of Khazaria. The principality grew stronger in the tenth century, struck an alliance with the Eastern Roman Empire and attacked its powerful Khazar neighbors. In 965 (or 969), Sviatoslav I, the ruling prince of Kiev, attacked the Khazar city of Sarkel, which controlled the Don River, and captured it. Sarkel was a fortified city, originally built by Byzantine engineers, of important strategic value to the Jewish empire, and its loss marked the beginning of the empire's decline. Contrary to prevalent opinion, however, this was not the end of Khazaria.
Reports about the fate of the capital Itil in this war are contradictory. Some Arab sources state that it fell; others state that it survived the Russian victory. Since it consisted largely of huts and tents, it may well have been rebuilt. What is certain, though, is that in the second half of the tenth century Khazaria lost its hegemonic position in the region. Prince Vladimir I of Kiev, Sviatoslav's young son, expanded the boundaries of his principality as far as the Crimea, and,in a significant step for the future of Russia, converted to Christianity. His alliance with the Eastern Roman Empire undermined its long connection with Khazaria, and in 1016 CE a joint Byzantine-Russian force attacked and defeated the Jewish kingdom.
Sand claims that east European Jewry was the broken remnant of this Khazar kingdom. He also points out that modern Jewish historians have gone quiet on the Khazar kingdom even though it may have been the source of Ashkenazi Jewry from among whom Zionism ultimately emerged. Why the silence? Because the history of the Khazar kingdom undermines any claim the Jews have to be a people of pure lineage, descended from the inhabitants of ancient Judea.
The deconstruction of the fables of Jewish and Israeli historians in general is a strong point of the book. Sand demonstrates that they have bent over backwards to make Biblical fables seem like real history, even though decisive evidence exists to the contrary. The notion of "Exile", so central to Jewish thought, and usually supposed to have followed an expulsion decreed by Roman or Arab conquerors, he dismisses as a fantasy, unsupported by any evidence. These fables continue to be taught in Israeli classrooms.
Sand also shows how Jewish historians have nurtured the myth of a Jewish ethnos, insisting over the years that Jewish genetic identity was preserved despite their geographic dispersal. They have done this by artfully obscuring inconvenient facts and countervailing evidence. When they deign to discuss the Khazars at all, for example, Jewish historians have tended to insinuate that they were somehow seeded from the original population of Judea.
If Sand's book demolishes the Jewish self-image, it also, as I indicated previously, poses some challenges for critics of Jews, who have tended to accept, from an opposing point of view, the basic claim Jews make that they are a "race" or genetically distinct ethnic group. For example, one reason I generally prefer the term "European" to "white" is that it excludes Jews, on the assumption that they originated in the Middle East. If, in fact, Ashkenazi Jews are descended from east European Khazars, however, this logic would no longer apply.
A vigorous conception of self, a confident assertiveness and even a national mythos of some kind are probably prerequisites for the healthy existence of any people. Jews have often played a crucial role in undermining the intellectual foundations of European peoplehood. Now a Jew has brought the same destructive critical spirit to bear on his own kind.

Ten months ago, the chipmaker Adapteva unveiled a bold quest—to create a Raspberry Pi-sized computer that can perform the same types of tasks typically reserved for supercomputers. And... they wanted to sell it for only $99. A successful Kickstarter project raised nearly $900,000 for the so-called "Parallella," and the company got to work with a goal of shipping the first devices by February 2013 and the rest by May 2013.
As so often happens, the deadlines slipped, but Adapteva has done what it set out to do. Last week, the company shipped the first 40 Parallellas and says it will ship all 6,300 computers ordered through the Kickstarter by the end of August. Anyone who didn't back the Kickstarter can now pre-order for delivery in October.
The first version of the board was finished in January, but it cost $150 to produce. "After that it was iterating time after time to get the bill of materials down to something we wouldn't be losing $50 per board on," Adapteva CEO and founder Andreas Olofsson told Ars.

A 53-year-old man who has never held a driving licence took his wife's car without her consent to go into Lurgan to sign some documentation.
John McKee, Belfast Road, Lurgan, admitted driving without insurance on March 1 this year. He was fined £200 and sentenced to three months in prison, suspended for 18 months.
For not having a licence he was fined £50 and he was given a conditional discharge for 12 months for taking a vehicle without the consent of the owner.
The court heard that at approximately 3.45pm police, who knew McKee did not have a licence, saw him on CCTV drive from Wellington Street into Castle Lane.
They went to his home address and spoke to his wife who said he had taken the car without her consent. When interviewed the defendant said: "I was driving. I know I don't have a licence. My wife didn't know I had taken the car."
A barrister representing McKee said he had relevant previous convictions but nothing in the last three years.
She explained that he had received a phone call to sign some documentation in town and took the car.
The barrister added that McKee has never held a licence and has a medical condition which meant that he shouldn't be driving at all. The car had since been sold on.
Deputy District Judge Gerry Trainor said the defendant just needed to stop driving.

■ CambodiaTwo-headed calf idolized
Students were flocking in their hundreds to make offerings of money and incense to the dead body of a two-headed calf in the belief it was a gift from heaven that may increase their brainpower, provincial police said yesterday. Koh Sotin district police chief Yit Yoeun of Kompong Cham province, about 130km north-east of Phnom Penh, said that the calf had been born last Thursday and word had spread quickly that it was a miracle which may help students pass upcoming exams. The calf's owner had packed the animal's body in ice to preserve it for worshippers, who pay anything from a few cents to a few dollars for an audience.
■ Australia
Ecstasy found in oven
Australian police said yesterday they had intercepted the country's largest ever shipment of the party drug ecstasy, hidden in commercial kitchen equipment sent from Poland. Australian Customs and Federal Police said they found 820kg of the drug hidden in compartments of a bakery oven that was shipped from Poland to Australia via Germany on a Malaysian Airlines flight. Two Australian men aged 54 and 32 appeared in a Sydney court over the Oct. 15 drugs haul. An X-ray spotted packages hidden in the wall and base cavities of the oven and an inspection revealed 62 boxes containing about 115kg of powder and about three million tablets weighing 705kg.
■ China
Boy falls from plane
The body of a teenage boy who fell from the landing gear of a passenger plane on which he and a friend had stowed away was found on the tarmac soon after the aircraft took off, Chinese state media said yesterday. The boy's 13-year-old companion managed to survive a 700km flight from Yunnan province's capital city Kunming to Chongqing on Thursday by holding tightly onto the landing gear rod. He was found by airport porters after the plane landed from an hour-long flight. The 14-year-old's body was found by tarmac cleaning and transport crews and they alerted airport authorities, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
■ Japan
Princess to marry commoner
Princess Sayako, the 35-year-old only daughter of the Japanese emperor, is set to marry a commoner and leave the imperial family, Japanese media said yesterday. The princess, known informally as Nori, is engaged to marry a Tokyo local government official, 39-year-old Yoshiki Kuroda, next spring, the reports said. The couple both graduated from the private Gakushuin University in Tokyo, and share an interest in wildlife, media said. Nori is the youngest of three children of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko.
■ China
Miners dug too deep
China's deadliest coal mine explosion in years was caused when the miners dug too deep and poor ventilation allowed gas to build up to dangerous levels, the official Xinhua news agency said yesterday. The gas was ignited by sparks from a running engine, it said, citing the results of an investigation into the accident that killed 148 miners at Daping mine in the central Chinese province of Henan on Oct. 20. "The mine operators failed to realize that further extension of the mine would greatly increase the amount of gas in the tunnel," Xinhua said citing Zhao Tiechui, deputy head of the State Administration of Production Safety. "The inefficient ventilation increased the density of gas," it said, citing the results of the investigation.

The Graduates 2018
The Graduates is our chance to showcase the most exciting students graduating from all creative courses, presenting a range of talented graphic designers, photographers, illustrators and more. Celebrating our tenth anniversary this year, we're proud to announce the first global class of The Graduates for 2018!
With more applications than we've ever had and entrants from North America to New Zealand via Sweden, we were bowled over by the ridiculously high talent spilling out of universities across the world this year. Below, we share our final 15 graduates, each carving out their own path with work displaying vibrant personality across photography, product design, illustration, fashion, animation and graphic design.
We're very excited to introduce you to the first global Graduates class of 2018!
In the closing months of her BA (Hons) Fashion Design program at Central Saint Martins, Canadian-born Paolina Russo produced a final collection which has since been talked about. A lot. A line-up of garments which repurpose the material objects of various sports – from footballs to trainers to shin pads – it's a love letter to suburban life and teenage sentimentality.
The work of graphic designer Can Yang is steeped in history and philosophy. Context is the backbone of her works, consistently relating back to her cultural upbringing in China, but translated through the teaching programme at Rhode Island School of Design where she's just graduated.
Louisana-born illustration graduate Jackson Joyce claims he spends most of his time stuck in his head. A thinker that illustrates the daydreamer, he captures characters gazing melancholically into the distance. Be it from painting in coffee shops, on aeroplanes or in the studio, Jackson's illustrations play with proportion and mood; their cool colour tones, soft shadows and sad, dark eyes create strange and foreboding narratives.
Natalia was 13 when she first picked up a camera. A friend from primary school had talked her into trying a regular photography class at a local youth centre (in Bytom, Poland) – the friend stayed two weeks, Natalia for five years. The course focused on film photography, so she dug out an old Zenith 12xp from her grandparent's basement and taught herself how to use it. "The smell of a darkroom, the first artistic community I belonged to, capturing moments – I don't know exactly what it was that I fell in love with, and even though it all started 12 years ago, I'm still just as passionate about photography," Natalia tells us.
The first things you're likely to notice when you sit down to watch one of Arts University Bournemouth graduate Daniel Spencer's bright, brash, and brilliantly funny 3D animations are a pair of glossy and googly eyes and a set of plump red lips.
Illustration has always been a way for Alva Skog to communicate and express herself, "I can't remember a time when I didn't draw" she tells It's Nice That. "Whenever someone had a birthday in my family, I drew a family portrait. I still do." After a two-year art course in Sweden (where she is originally from), Alva headed to Central Saint Martins where, despite studying Graphic Design, she kept coming back to illustration, along with a brief interlude into animation.
Despite initially thinking he was going to forge a career in the fine arts, Luke Hoban quickly fell for the form and function that graphic design embodies. He was born, and studied in, New Zealand and is now based in Sydney, but it doesn't actually matter where in the world Luke lives; it's the digital counterpart of design where he's fully at home.
It's Nice That Graduates has traditionally been the highly contested territory of art school leavers. So it was to our surprise and delight that humanities grad Miranda Barnes applied with a remarkable photography portfolio of softly witnessed glimpses into the human experience; images which have both challenged misconceptions of people of colour in America and won her pages in The New York Times, ESPN and Vice magazine in the process.
University of Cincinnati graduate Alex Sizemore's portfolio is one of those that not only impresses because of its technical abilities and adept concepts but because it induces questions in its viewers. Having studied industrial design, Alex combines traditional sensibilities and industrial production processes to create work which explores how our choice of materials – and what we do with these materials – can improve the human experience.
"I wish I could say I was one of those designers whose parents were artists or designers, or one whose parents exposed them to different types of art and design at a very early age," Andy Liang tells It's Nice That, but as a child of working class, first generation immigrants, they just didn't have the means or the resources to do so.
Manchester School of Art graduate Nathan Cutler has a sensitive eye, despite his masculine subject matter. Born and raised in Brighton before venturing up north for university, Nathan's work provides an insight to groups, communities and clubs. He never peers in on these clans, instead his photographic eye nestles in, it gets comfy, has a cup of tea and a chat. Then, he takes the shot.
Originally from Portsmouth, graphic designer James Aspey has a propensity for all things type-related. Having found inspiration early on in some of the great 20th Century typographers, his own practice consists of interesting, speculative and unusual letterforms, used in both conceptual and commercial contexts.
Singapore-based Adelia Lim has been playing with the medium of graphic design for years. In her experiments, Adelia's work has become playful too, but only on the surface. Each project is properly funny in parts, and always uniquely and incredibly well executed.
Created largely using a combination of Cinema 4D and Corona, the works of south east London-based Liam Sielski Waters hone a distinctly experimental take on what photography can be in the 21st century.
Fun, playful and downright comical, we've gone bananas for Aga Giecko's illustrations.
Each year as university graduates hand in their final assignments, begin building degree shows and place orders for their cap and gowns, we have our own graduation class too. The It's Nice That Graduates celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, and if you have graduated or are graduating from an undergraduate creative course (bachelor's or equivalent) in 2018 we want to hear from you!
The deadline to apply for It's Nice That's The Graduates 2018 is just around the corner on the 25 June.
Back in March Amalia Illgner wrote a long read on The Guardian describing why she is suing Monocle over her "dream internship". The article pinpointed many of the issues of internships and how it "excludes the less privileged from the arts, media and politics". Below, Amalia talks of her experience and the research she has found on the creative industries, providing some golden rules that graduates should be aware of.
How best to present all that hard work you've been slogging over is one of the great conundrums of our industry. Too much information could drown out your best ideas, but strip it back too much and you might be underselling yourself. To help you build your best portfolio and stand out from the swarm, we've asked influential people from top studios and agencies including Google, Nexus, A Practice for Everyday Life and Mother to share their advice for graduate portfolios, drawn from looking at lots (and lots) of them over their careers. Here they tell us what they look for, and how you can make a lasting impression.
Making a CV is one of the most daunting tasks for anyone, and especially for graduates. Writing about yourself, your achievements and your interests always just comes across show-offy or just cringe-worthy in general. But everyone has to do it, so choke it up, open InDesign and bite the bullet.
Art and design schools everywhere preach the importance of failure. Tutors encourage students to let go of any preconceptions of what their work should be and, instead, try everything under the sun, using their mistakes as a means to learn. James Dyson famously made his way through over 5,000 prototypes before discovering the solution for the modern-day hoover, for example. Creativity and the generation of new ideas seem to go hand-in-hand with making mistakes, with the best ideas the result of learning from one.
The long, sleepless nights have finally paid off. The bachelor's degree is yours and there's a picture of you, certificate in hand, to prove it. But, as the celebrations begin to die down, a creeping existential angst surmounts you. What lies next? Who do I want to be? What do I want to spend my days doing? Finding a replacement to the long weeks of university term time can be tough and, to many, a postgraduate degree can seem like the obvious choice.
The working world is a cryptical space for recent graduates. Beyond the tunnel vision required for final year success lies a world of possibilities so infinite it can be hard to know where to begin.

Choosing the Right Mattress
Selecting the right mattress is principal in ensuring a comfortable nights rest. There are so many mattresses to choose from; brands, styles and types, but most importantly it is crucial to match your requirements to the right type of bed. It's paramount to buy the correct mattress for your body size and shape, as this directly relates the quality of your sleep.
For a low cost budget option, the open spring mattress variety is suited well to those sleeping alone, or if you and your partner are approximately the same size. Bedcentre offer a large range of single, double and super king size beds with this innovative open sprung technology, from the some of the best brands.
Alternatively, pocket sprung double beds are ideal if you and your of varying stature and height, because pocket spring mattresses offer support and cushioning, due to their independant operation in relation to each other.
For that extra comfort and support, why not opt for a latex and memory foam mattress for that extra level of quality and relaxation. The memory foam mattress works by moulding itself around your body and therefore helps supports your body areas (upper and lower back, neck, shoulders and hips), and helps reduce pressure points and the amount of moving around during your nights sleep. As the name implies, they are able to remember your body position which allows a snug fit and shape of your body and mattress in harmony. If you are experiencing restless and sleepless nights, are susceptible to back or neck problems, are suffering from rheumatic or arthritic conditions, joint inflammation, then memory foam can assist in alleviating the above conditions.

Betsey McCaughey is a former State of New York Lieutenant, but she became known for her focus on ObamaCare and ringing the bell about its dangers. How the Left hated her for sharing what she knew and what she said she knew has turned out to be true. Now her focus is on the Senate immigration bill. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas' wife Ginni interviews McCaughey (I think it's pronounced McCoy) for The Daily Caller. McCaughey says she is pro-immigration but this bill will weaken American security, create enormous new costs, costs born by the next generation, yet the Senators who wrote the bill have told us they don't know how many new 'immigrants' will come in as a result – the height of irresponsibility.
Everything indented below is from McCaughey, but it is not word-for-word – but close, with some things I deemed unimportant eliminated. She at times gives the Provision or Section numbers of the bill. I didn't take the time to listen closely enough to transcribe them, with one exception. If you see something in brackets [ ], you're reading my comment. There's not much of that. The video is below, so you can watch it for yourself.
Please, if you read nothing else, do not miss Nos. 2, 4 and 6. Remember, I am putting the discussion in blockquotes but I have not always directly quoted her.
(1) This bill weakens our current laws for asylum-seekers or members of their families. Currently, if you sneak into the U.S. or come on a Visa or whatever, you have one year to ask for asylum. This bill waives the one-year deadline, so they have until "they get caught" to ask for asylum. Remember that the Brothers Tsarnaev (the Boston bombers) arrived in the U.S. and were granted asylum.
This bill creates a new level of appeals, so a asylum-seeker who is turned down gets to stay in the country longer on appeal.
This bill gives the Attorney General the discretion to pay the legal fees for asylum seekers.
(2) Dirty Tricks – this is a repeat of what was done in ObamaCare. This bill takes the critical job of guiding aliens through the amnesty process, screening them for eligibility, assembling their documents, their family documents and any waivers they may need – it outsources all of those jobs from Government to community organizations, and will be funded by the Federal Government – permanently [La Raza is dancing in the street somewhere].
Why would a job that is so critical to the United States be outsourced? Because when you outsource it, it eliminates public scrutiny, accountability, and standards of non-partisanship. Community organizers can say things that Government employees can't say.
It is clear that the goal here is not simply to guide them through the amnesty and provisional immigration and then legal presence and then citizenship process, but really to make them Democratic voters at the same time. Now there is nothing wrong with encouraging people to vote, but an employee at the DMV, for example, can't say, you ought to register as a Democrat. A community activist can say that, and you can count on them to say it.
(3) Another repeat of the ObamaCare law: it creates a non-profit foundation called the U.S. Citizenship Foundation. Why would it have to be created in this bill? Anyone is free to create a 501(3)(c). You don't have to get Congress to do that, right? In the bill it says this foundation will work in coordination with the Federal Government. It will be run by 10 people from the ten nation-wide community organizations, you think La Raza – things like that. They will run it and their job is to create Citizen Preparation Programs, to teach aliens about American history and politics, and voting and the Constitution, but thank you very much, the Office of Citizenship within the Department of Homeland Security has always created those programs. They've done a fine job. They are non-partisan. They are subject to public scrutiny, and that's where that job should remain, but it is outsourced to community organizations.
I am revolted by the cynicism with which this is done. A fifth-estate of Government but none of the rules that govern what Government does. These are the same organizations that are applying in the 50 states to be navigators under the ObamaCare law. Same groups. Another stream of money and permanent, powerful decision-making in every community. Elevating community organizers to the fifth estate of Government without any rules.
This was done once before by Lenin. When Lenin wanted to control that enormous country of Russia, with so many ethnic groups, so many different little communities, how did he do it? Instead of sending out Government officials, he provided funding streams to favored community organizations in each place, and then gave them a lot of favors and powers so they would control each community. That's what Obama is doing. He's using Community Health Councils of Los Angeles, and all these different groups and they will have the power now to mete out the Government benefits – health care, amnesty and when you read the websites of these various groups – housing, food stamps – they're going to be doing it all. They're going to be enrolling people, indoctrinating people. They will be governed by none of the standards of Government employees.
(4) This bill will double the number of legal immigrants coming into the U.S. over the next decade with a Green Card in their hand. Right now 484,000 people arrive in the United States with a Green Card. Why will it be doubled? Because of the Back of the Law Provision in this Bill. It's a good provision. It says that the illegal aliens in the country have to wait to apply for their Green Card until this backlog of people who are waiting, patiently and legally waiting, get theirs – but the line is 19 years long.
And the bill says that the illegal immigrants can get theirs in 10 years, so that means you've got to double the pace which legal immigrants are admitted to the country, from about 484,000 a year to over a million a year.
The people who are coming into the country legally with Green Cards are already, under current law, entitled to substantial benefits. They are entitled to ObamaCare, not to be enrolled in Medicaid. No. They are entitled to a full subsidy, including help with deductibles and co-pays, to get private health care on the exchanges. About half of the people who come into the U.S. with Green Cards are below 138% of poverty. The people who are below 138% of poverty will be eligible for the full ride on the Obama Health Exchanges. That's $9000 per person, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Doubling the number of immigrants over the next decade will add $100 BILLION to the cost of ObamaCare – never mind food stamps, housing and other things that people who come into the country legally are offered.
Yet, John McCain said: "the intent of this bill is not to add any additional cost to the taxpayers of America." That's untrue.
McCaughey says this will significantly impact our overcrowded schools [remember the translators needed for ObamaCare – thousands of them I think. Imagine what this will require before it's over]
(4) Marco Rubio says the illegal immigrants who are granted provisional status, which will happen in the next year or so under this bill – they will be eligible for a Green Card in 10 years provided they are employed during that period. Self-supporting. He has promised us that none of the illegal aliens who are granted amnesty will have to have public support. If they can't support themselves, they have to go home, but I actually read the bill, and here's what it actually says:
"you have to be employed over the next 10 years to get your Green Card UNLESS you are in college, you're in High School, you're getting a GED, you're taking care of a child or an older person in your household or…you're unemployed, but you don't think it's your fault.
In other words, you have to be employed, except if you're not.
What Rubio said is just not true.
(5) This will go to the heart of every fiscal conservative. I hope Steve Moore from the Wall Street Journal is watching. In numerous places, too many places to bother bookmarking, this bill claims that the provision at that part of the bill, is an emergency…therefore, exempt from the statutory Pay As You Go Law that governs what Congress does.
Immigration reform is not an emergency. All these provisions are not an emergency, but the weasels who wrote this bill called each one of them an emergency so no one would discuss what it's going to cost, or where the money is coming from. That's really bad lawmaking.
(6) This bill puts the Border Agents under the thumb of the Department of Civil Rights and the Department of Justice. Sections 1111, 1112 and 1113 go on and on about the way the Office of Civil Rights is going to train, oversee, inspect and scrutinize what the Border Agents are doing. I could barely breathe just thinking about it. They are talking about increasing border security. I don't think Border Agents can do anything because there is so much attention to the rights of people who have snuck into the country.
I'll give you an example. There's a whole section in here about how they can't remand people who have snuck across the border if it would be against the best interests of the border sneaker's family or children.
It will destroy our two-party system. It is inconceivable that people can be stupid enough to let this happen – twice.
You remember what the Community Reinvestment Plan did to our economy – tanked it – totally responsible for the housing bubble. Think of what Democrats will want to do with the Community Reinvestment Plan and illegal aliens newly made legal.
We must demand that the Visa process be fixed. The bill calls for tracking all those leaving and re-entering the country, but we have not tracked those here on Visas – although there was nothing to keep us from doing so other than Government slackers, as we saw with the 9/11 attackers and not noticing that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was spending time in Dagestan. If our Visa process had been respected all these years, we wouldn't be trying to negotiate the legalization of 12M (probably 20M) illegals. Fix the Visa process, secure the border. That's the place to start. Thanks to Norm at Storm'n Norm'n for the video. Visit him here.

As much as society has become inundated with messages about the importance of health and the environment, this information still hasn't fully sunk in, and that is why art installations like the Natural Systems Domination are extremely helpful. What is essentially an outdoor office overrun by nature, this installation encourages workers to reconnect with their environment and be active during breaks.
Created by Tres Birds Workshop for KEEN's Recess Revolution Tour, which was designed in response to many American's digital and sedentary lifestyles, the Natural Systems Domination art installation embraced the interaction of passersby and participants by providing activities such as tether ball. Fun and original, this artistic outdoor office is located in downtown Denver, Colorado, and is sure to encourage healthier living.

I'm trying to control an audio system from WD. I've been successful in sending strings to trigger Boolean commands like play, stop, mute etc. However I would like to incorporate a volume fader on the WD page now. I was wondering how I could assemble a string that could incorporate a variable fader value. i'm quite new to WD so forgive my ignorance please.
More info on the audio control protocol here - http://q-syshelp.qschome.com/Content/Ex ... otocol.htm
The string format for triggering "buttons" is as follows - {ct AudioMute [CR LF]} - ct meaning "change trigger", AudioMute being the control name and carriage return/line feed. To change the fader's value I can do this in a number of ways, either send a dB value or a relative position if the fader from 0 to 1 (0db on the fader taper is roughly 0.75). Lets assume we use position, the string the audio system would need to see is {csp FaderName value [CR LF]}. Can you advise how to set this up?
Also, the next step would be to get bidirectional positions as their are other control methods (snapshots etc) in place for these values and it would be good to have the current value reflected on the WD page. The device will send the following in response - {cv "FaderName" "20.0dB" 20 1} - values are listed in 3 ways - value, string and position of the control. How would I process this data back into the fader on the WD page?
Hope this explanation is clear enough.
Thanks and best regards,

Come check out our latest music video, "Indigo" https://youtu.be/b5zOdSxi2OE
Eat The Cake Band is an all empress Hip Rock & Soul band based out of Baltimore, MD. If you want to know what they sound like you must be able to imagine The Incredible Hulk making love to Jem & The Misfits while the X-Men stand watch. You must open your third eye in order to fully comprehend their avante garde style and sound of music. Mzz the lead lyricist + emcee was a solo hip hop artist before forming the band and putting out an all call for an all empress squad. Ladie Clair the guitarist was the first to answer the call. They began their musical journey of exploring their musical styles Hip Hop & Rock in the basement of Mzz's house and quickly fell in love with the idea and all of the possibilities. Jayda and DZL the vocalist/singers add the Soul, Ciara the bassist brings the funk and DJ Young Ella Baker sprinkles that much needed force. The band currently records and performs with two drummers; Erica and/or Shawnie who as Mzz likes to say," are the heartbeat." Eat the Cake Band is currently working on their first album which is expected to be released sometime in the summer of 2017.
your poser mentality will make an excellent topic in the upcoming film we are doing in conjunction with the FESPACO festival in Burkina Faso 2019.
I love how you present white assimilationist ideals as "other Blackness"
but we all know:
there will NEVER be an "afro punk" festival in Black AFRICA.
your best bet is white controlled "south africa":
a place where economic apartheid is still a driving force.
but Black leadership and the Black masses of Africa will never accept the lie you call "afro-punk"
as a cultural ambassador to the African Union:
I will work to make sure of this.
your white assimilation does not make you invincible or above critique.
clearly, you have underestimated the global community of Black people that are NOT seeking cultural and social integration through paradigms of whiteness.
"black queer" is an oxymoron.
"queerness" is the rejection of social categorization.
. J. Michael Ryan states:
"Thus to assign a definition to queer theory is to go against the ethos of post-identity that is at the heart of queer theory. . ." (Ritzer, 2008: 507) Semiotics, power and knowledge are key aspects of the theory. Queer theory implicitly defies a specific definition or ideology. However, the following general definition of queer theory is offered by Ryan:
Queer theory is a set of ideas rooted in the contention that identities are not fixed or stable and do not determine who we are. Rather, identities are historically and socially constructed processes that are both fluid and contested. . . (Ritzer:2008, 508)
However, theorists Arlene Stein and Ken Plummer offer the following four elements that can be associated with queer theory:
(Ritzer, 2008: 509)
you can delete my profile or whatever other cornball nazi shit you lames do.
of course, there will be a day when those that exploit and appropriate Black culture will be held accountable and judged by the masses of oppressed Black people.

Everything's Rosy
Happy Tuesday! Today is the newest Instant Garden release at Power Poppy called Everything's Rosy. Isn't it just gorgeous? Marcy has a way with flowers I tell you, maybe we should call her the flower whisper? hee hee Be sure to check out the Power Poppy Blog for the blog roll of everyone's creations today. You won't want to miss all the fabulous creativity!
These roses are wonderful to color and the cups they are in just make it that extra special. At the boys practices I have been coloring like mad. This was the feminine feel I was thinking about when I colored this one. Something about soft pink and white make me think purity and feminine. My cards tend to have the die cuts at the bottom of the card panel so I thought why not shake it up and put it at the top. Oh... I do like how this looks, how about you? To enhance the die cut my inside panel has a pink panel to match the layer behind the image panel. These roses are colored with a variety of Copic markers and some sparkle added to the petals. Just a few scattered jewels and a scored border as the accents for this card. Voila!
Be sure to check out the Power and Spark challenge we have going on this month and play along! Have a wonderful day.

Buckeyes battle past Wildcats
Dayton, OH (Sports Network) – Senior Terence Dials scored 19 points and
grabbed 13 rebounds to help lift Ohio State past Davidson, 70-62, in a
Minneapolis bracket first-round matchup at Dayton Arena.
Ron Lewis added 19 points off the bench, including 3-of-8 from three-point
range, for the Buckeyes (26-5), who will play Georgetown in the next round on
"First half they were double and triple-teaming me," said Dials. "I couldn't
get my shot off real cleanly. I just tried to manufacture some points other
J.J. Sullinger netted 13 points with 13 rebounds as second-seeded Ohio State
recovered from a tough first half in which it trailed 29-25 by seizing control
midway through the second frame to clinch the win.
Ian Johnson paced Davidson (20-11) with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Brendan
Winters was the only other Wildcat in double figures with 10 points. He also
had eight rebounds.
"We were very confident coming into the game. We didn't need a four-point lead
to confirm that we were a good team and could play with guys like them,"
Winters said. "But it did help us a little bit. It's always nice to go into
the halftime especially in the NCAA tournament against a team like Ohio State
when you're the underdog."
Davidson, making only its eighth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, earned
a 15th seed in the bracket by thrashing Chattanooga, 80-55, in the Southern
Conference Championship.
The Wildcats gave the Buckeyes a run for their money in the first half, but
could not keep it going in the second. Davidson shot just 37.1 percent in the
second frame while Ohio State shot a blistering 53.6 percent in the second 20
"I thought we played, obviously, much better in the second half," said Ohio
State head coach Thad Matta. "I didn't do a very good job of getting these
guys ready to go to understand just what it took. The challenge at halftime
was to pick up our intensity."
Davidson also failed to get to the free throw line, finishing the game 5-of-7
from the charity stripe. The Buckeyes, meanwhile, got to the line 23 times,
hitting on 13 attempts.
Ohio State struggled from long range early in the contest, finishing the first
half a horrid 1-of-14 from three-point range en route to falling behind after
the first 20 minutes.
The Buckeyes, though, did not let their long-range shooting problems stop them
in the second half as Lewis hit on back-to-back treys to put Ohio State ahead
38-35 with 12:46 remaining.
The two long conversions began a 10-0 spurt as Dials followed with two baskets
to extend the Buckeyes to a 42-35 lead with 11:04 left. The two schools then
traded baskets for a 44-37 Ohio State lead.
Davidson, though, refused to let the game get away. Johnson hit on a three to
make it a four-point game and after Ohio State took a 49-42 edge after another
three-pointer by Lewis, Johnson and Winters hit consecutive jumpers for a
49-46 deficit with 7:33 remaining.
Ohio State quickly regained its cushion after netting seven of the next nine
points to go ahead 56-48 with 5 1/2 minutes left. Dials scored five the
Buckeyes' points during the surge.
Davidson got back to within five twice after that, but four straight points by
Je'kel Foster and a layup from Sullinger put the game out of reach by
extending Ohio State to a 64-53 lead with 3:16 remaining. The Wildcats never
It was a close opening half with the two schools trading leads throughout the
first 20 minutes. The Buckeyes' 18-14 edge with 9:11 remaining in the first
half was their largest lead of the frame. Davidson, meanwhile, took its
largest advantage of the stanza at 25-20 with just under four minutes left and
the Wildcats carried a 29-25 edge into the break.
Game Notes
Dials was just 3-of-12 from the field for six points in the first half. Six of
his rebounds were offensive…Foster finished with seven points…Kenny Grant
netted seven points with nine assists for Davidson…Ohio State is seeking its
first NCAA Tournament championship since 1960 in its 22nd appearance in the
event…The two schools have now split six meetings, which does not include
the Buckeyes win over the Wildcats during the 2002 NCAA Tournament. That win
was wiped out after Ohio State was placed on three years probation for rules
infractions that nullified records from four NCAA Tournament appearances.

Radicals gain power
By the time the next significant event occurred
in Georgia (a meeting of the Radicals at Tondee's Tavern on July
24, 1774) , much had happened to the
north. "Tea parties" occurred up the entire coast of the
United States. The closest port to Georgia that had one was Charleston,
South Carolina, mostly because Savannah
had never been much of a port for tea, and Georgia was not of the
radical mind set that had been achieved in the other colonies. By
far the largest, both in the number of men participating and the
amount of tea disposed of, was in Boston Harbor.
It wasn't long after finding out about these treasonous
acts that Parliament passed a series of laws that colonists quickly
dubbed the "Intolerable Acts" in the
Spring of 1774. These laws closed Boston
Harbor until the tea dumped overboard had been paid for, disbanded
the Massachusetts Assembly, withdrew the right
of British officials being tried in America, restated the Quartering
Act to include inhabited buildings and extended the borders
of Canada to include portions of land claimed by
Massachusetts, Connecticut and
It was a meeting in South Carolina
on July 6, 1774
that sparked the Georgia radicals into action. At this meeting the
South Carolinians elected representatives to the First Continental
Congress to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in October. On
July 14, 1774
John Houstoun, George
Walton, Archibald Bulloch and Noble W. Jones published a broadside
that invited their fellow Georgians to a meeting to be held at Peter
Tondee's tavern on July 27.
The people at the meeting represented a small but
growing group who were fed up with what they saw as the British
government's refusal to listen to the valid complaints of the king's
subjects. They were mostly local businessmen, elitist politicians,
and wealthy planters. The planters were the only people who traveled
any distance to the meeting.
Although the radicals were gaining a footing in
Georgia, they were far from a majority. Georgia's main interests
appear to be maintaining a strong deployment of British troops to
protect their frontier, importing trade goods for the Creek
and Cherokee
Nations along that frontier, while staying radical enough to keep
South Carolina from completely cutting off trade with them.
On August 10, 1774
a follow-up meeting occurred that was somewhat more organized the
the July 24 meeting. Each parish had
representatives at this meeting and the eight resolutions that the
committee adopted were pretty predictable, given the nature of the
earlier meeting. Each of the Intolerable Acts were addressed, with
this "committee of thirty" objecting
to each them for restricting their rights as Englishmen. This meeting
also established that any 11 members of the group could organize
to correspond with other colonies on an official basis.
In spite of the committee passing these resolutions
it did not vote to send representatives to the First Continental
Congress. No record exists as to the debate that occurred
surrounding this event, however, it is known that Lyman
Hall, who attended the August 10th meeting, strongly supported
sending delegates. He did not succeed in convincing others.
Instead, he returned to Midway
where he worked to convince members from each parish that Georgia
must send delegates to the convention. In the end, four parishes
(St. Andrew, St. David, St.
John and St. George) agreed to send delegates,
and selected Hall to represent them. Since only 4 parishes were
in agreement with the radicals, Hall did not feel he could attend
because a majority of the state's parishes had not participated.
As a result of this the colony of Georgia remained
the only one of the original colonies not to be represented at Carpenter's
Hall in Philadelphia in September, 1774, site of the First
Continental Congress.

15 Things Only POGs Will Understand....
15 Things Only POGs Will Understand
There are some things about being a POG that grunts will never understand.
Yankees versus Red Sox, dogs versus cats, Coca-Cola versus Pepsi all these rivalries pale in comparison to grunts versus POGs.
A colloquialism for infantrymen in the Army and Marine Corps, grunts are the militarys door kickers and trigger pullers, in short, theyre the pointy end of the spear.
By contrast, the term POG person other than grunt refers to non-infantry personnel. POGs provide all the support from food, chow, ammo, and intel to transportation and air power that ensures grunts can do their jobs effectively, like take the fight to the enemy.
Grunts and POGs live in two different worlds, and while theres a lot of things grunts experience that non-infantry personnel will never understand like how youre a boot until you have a combat action ribbon or a combat infantryman badge theres a few things only POGs can truly understand.
Here are 15 things only the desk jockeys, cooks, admin and supply bubbas can relate to.
1. Youve heard someone say, Sorry guys, cant go out drinking tonight. Im too busy doing my PMI to get promoted to sergeant in 18 months!
2. Youve tried to impress girls at a bar with a story about how you facilitated a payment disbursement despite all the red tape in country.
3. To you, sitting in a tent in the barracks parking lot is a field op.
4. Theres at least one person in your unit who has read all the books on the commandants reading list.
5. Youve heard someone say: Yeah, I wanted to go infantry, but my ASVAB was too high.
6. Even POGs play the youre so POG card and no matter your job, theres always a bigger POG. If youre a truck driver, then public affairs is more POG. If youre public affairs, then admin is more POG, and so on.
7. Unit PT is not an everyday occurrence, and occasionally just means playing flag football.
8. You know that guy who went on one convoy in an MRAP, and tells endless stories back home about his time outside the wire. If this doesnt ring any bells, you might be that guy.
9. In the eyes of the your staff noncommissioned officer or platoon sergeant, getting a low regulation haircut is the same as not getting one at all.
10. Youve been excited to eat an MRE.
11. Of course you deserve a Navy Achievement Medal, aka a NAM, (or the Army or Air Force equivalent) for doing your job, dont be silly.
12. You know how to always ace field day inspection.
13. People still think you are a war hero no matter what you actually did in Iraq and Afghanistan. or Okinawa.
14. You and your roommate have inspected each others uniforms before going to the chow hall for fear of getting chewed out by some sergeant hiding just inside the doorway. Also, you only have one roommate.
15. You took a corporals course, got a new MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) belt, and completed a marathon, all while deployed to Afghanistan.

Hey, I resemble that remark!
You can't have a decent war without the Grunts. You can't have a war at all without the support troops.
This POG understands that the rank structure is set up for all personnel of whatever rank you are to receive the same pay, regardless of if you are a grunt or an office POG. Benifits are the same for all personnel. Some may get to sleep in a tent at night and others may have to sleep in a hole. One cannot function without the other.
I wasn't a pog; but I appreciated what they did. I was paid by a pog; a pog kept track of my benefits; a pog kept my medical records straight; and a pog compiled my discharge among other things.
I support every mos in the Corps!
I always remind all those Ricky Recons.....that without our support element, we wouldn't last very long.
Every Marine -- POG or not -- is trained and expected to be qualified to be first loader on an M14 (M16, M4, M27, et al) bullet launcher at ANY time.
Not all 03s (or 11B in the Army) were on the pointy end of the stick. I am in absolute awe of anyone that rates a CAR or CIB. POG or not. Truly.
It is NOT my fault I have a 155 GCT. It was some POG's decision that I was assigned a technical MOS.
"13. People still think you are a war hero no matter what you actually did in Iraq and Afghanistan. … or Okinawa."
Remember, USMC grunts took Okinawa the hard way in WWII so we POGs could fix the grunt's commo safely in the rear with the gear during the war in Vietnam. I am sincerely grateful.
Ten Hut !
You see them USMC colors uP there ? The next time you Youngbucks see 'em Crackin in the Wind w/Battle streamers on 'em the one w/Stars on it"PUC"a bunch of 'em makes a certain sound that once You hear it,Listen too it will have Your young A$$ Standing & Walkin' tall...once You hear it You'll never be the Same ! I Love the Corps and what She stands for always have always will Godspeed to All of ya till the End of time we are the Green Machine! Mess with the Best Die like the Rest.Semper Fidelis

May 21
Lat: 42.287778 Lon: -4.140278
I had a good night's sleep at the pension and got up at 6:15 a.m. to pack and go down for breakfast. It was a typical breakfast in Spain: toast, jelly and coffee; a pat on the back, and out the door. It was good and a nice way to start the day. I usually will make it to a bar/restaurant about 5 km away and take a break and get something more. The cafe con leche or hot tea is about 1.20 euros and a sweet roll is another 1.20 euros.
The owner of the place that we stayed last night took us back to the trail in Hornillos del Camino where we ended the day before. It was so cold that the van actually had ice on the windshield. We all took off heading for our daily destination. It was so cold in my shorts and a T-shirt that I just took off. After a couple of hours I arrived in the town of Hontanas and stopped at a bar right on the trail. They had the best cafe con leche. They also had great WiFi and I was able to connect to check e-mail. It's appearing more and more that WiFi is in more and more locations. It's in coffee shops, restaurants and especially in albergues and hotels. I've been able to Skype just about every night back to the states. (Don't forget the time difference: six hours.) Also, FYI, Hontanas has three albergues.
Walking on the Meseta is really nice because you can see everything in the distance and when you are coming into a town or village you drop down to it. Also the photo opportunities are wonderful. I walked on to a very small area along the trail by the name of San Anton, which has an albergue that I was told opened around May 1, but was closed due to the cold. I pushed on to the town of Castrojeriz, where we are staying tonight.
When you first come into the outskirts of the town, a big sign shows all the services in town. This town isn't that big but is a long narrow town with what looks like two main streets that run parallel. There is a bar/restaurant when you walk up the hill into town and across from the church. Be sure and stop there to get something to eat and a coffee or tea because it's the last place for a while. I talked to the man running the place and asked if there was a bank in town and he told me that there were three. I don't know if he meant ATMs or banks, but I looked around and found nothing resembling either. A post office is in the Plaza de Mayor, but it's only open from 9:30-10:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. Needless to say, it was closed when I went to get some stamps. I had someone tell me to go up the street to the tobacco shop and that I could buy stamps for my post cards, but they were closed as well. I guess people just don't send much mail.
I found a good little restaurant which has a Peregrino meal for 9.50 euros. It seems like the farther west we get, the better the meals get and the better the wine gets as we well. Tonight's white wine was one of the best yet. The one meal that you can always count on is pork. Generally we always have fish and mostly pork, but rarely chicken. Also, don't look for too many veggies. If you order "ensalada mixta" and don't like tuna, be sure to order "pero no atun" or your salad will be covered with it.
The pork was good again tonight. This was the third day in a row that I've had pork of some description. It's a good thing I like pork. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get "pechuga de pollo" (chicken breast). It's almost always thighs or legs. It kind of makes you wonder what happens to the breasts.
Well it's been a full day and tomorrow is going to be just as full up on the Meseta. More to follow... Buen Camino!

Welcome to 3rd Grade!
Third grade students continue to be challenged to develop academically, socially and emotionally. "Reading to learn" becomes a reality in third grade, as students become confident readers. Students hone their reading, writing and problem-solving skills through a variety of classroom experiences. Number sense, fact fluency and mathematical reasoning continue to be emphasized in the math classroom. Students develop map reading skills through a social studies curriculum which focuses on globes and physical, political and thematic maps. Through the completion of sequential science investigations, students are introduced to fundamental concepts in earth science, and explore the natural and human-made worlds. Technology is integrated into the classroom to enhance the learning experiences for students, and technology is also one of the weekly specials for students; in addition to art, music and physical education. The final subject studied is religion, but more importantly it is part of the daily routine for both students and teachers; it includes school-wide prayer times, weekly Mass attendance, cultivation of Christian behavior through character development, and discovering the religious and biblical connections to all areas of study. Christianity is the core of who we are as a people and learning community and is of the utmost importance in the overall student development here at St. John Paul II Catholic School.

August 11th 2015. Australia was behind and the plane was flighting to Manila, the capital of Philippines. After spending all night in Manila I took the second fight in the morning and I finally arrived in Davao.
I took my baggage and looked for a taxi. The taxi driver was cool, but his English was not. 🙂 He drove me to the hotel and during the travel I was shocked about the traffic, the cars, the buildings, and everything else.. Everything looked very poor, classic town with old buildings and broken streets. The cars were all old, there were motorbikes with a third wheel on the side to support a box with a roof and a couple of sits to transport people, vans made up as mini buses, and bicycles with umbrellas to block the sun. All of that was very, very different from the world in Italy or Australia and I was quite shocked to see that. Philippines is a third world country but I didn't think about it before to go there and I didn't really know what to expect from it. However, I was reassured by the fact that everyone was saying that Davao was the safest city in the Philippines.
Once I arrived in the hotel I finally got my room and there I was, ready for a great shower. And there, I got the second surprise that made me think about how spoilt I was: no warm water for the shower, but a single handle for the cold water and a bucket. 🙂 After thinking "how spoilt am I ?!!" and waiting myself to be brave enough I took the bucket full of water and with a big smile on my face I turn it over my head! 😀 That was refreshing and definitely not such a big deal since the weather was very hot and the humidity incredibly high!
I then decided to go out and walk around a little. Everything looked soo crazy and new to me. Taxi driver were crossing with red traffic light, people jumped in the middle of the street to across it and overtake only on the right didn't seem to be a valid rule there! As soon as I got off the hotel, I start noticing that everyone was looking at me. I didn't know if that was a good thing or not but I figured it out soon when people started stopping me and try to be as friendly as possible. A couple of girls asked me where I was from and offered me to join them on Sunday, the Kadayawan Festival was about to start and people were all excited about it. The festival is an annual festival in the city of Davao that is similar to a famous carnival festival full of colours. Lunch time arrived and I asked advice for where to go to eat. They brought me in a very Filipino place where I got fried chicken, meatballs, rice, and stock, and I learnt how to say water in Visayan (tubig), the language spoken in the south of Philippines.
Now, you might wonder why I did go to Philippines before come back to Europe. The answers are many. During my life I met a few Filipino and they were always very fun and nice people. This was one of the reasons. Secondly I wanted to relax for 1 week since in Australia I had two jobs and little social life. During the past year I had also worked remotely in IT for a company based in Davao. Another reason was that I had the possibility to meet people I had worked for. Finally, while I was learning English 2 years before, I start talking with many people living around the world through a language exchange website. One of my friend was living in Davao and for me was great to see her after long time talking.
Really, people were so amazing, kind, nice, fun ! 🙂 My expectation was totally fulfilled. Knowing people there gave me the possibility to live very close to Filipino's culture for one week. I was often taking a jeep to go back to my hotel (the jeep was the van/bus and it was the most common way people were moving in the city), I eat a Balut (typical food in the Philippines: an egg with a chick inside boiled after 16, 17, or 18 days), I visited parks and I enjoyed an amazing tropical beach on an island.
I want to end this article by saying that Philippines in only one week opened my mind like nothing before. Seeing so many people living in such bad conditions and still laugh and have fun made me realize even more that happiness in not about things we have but it is about what there is in our mind. It made me realize that most of the problems people in developed countries complain about everyday, in reality are not real problems. Philippines was one of the best experiences of my life.

I know there were three Civilian Conservation Corps camps in lower Worcester County, Maryland, in the middle years of the 1930s.
If you are reading this on a smart phone, you may be surprised that the page graphics are of a cityscape. I don't know why; on my iPad and PC they are of a much more appropriate wooded scene.
I set out with the intention of creating a tribute page to the camp on Camp Road, near Milburn's Landing State Park, a short distance above Pocomoke City, Maryland. I have explored the site several times and have found the location, based on concrete foundations and other things. This was to be my focus, and I named the website after it.
I was mistaken as to the camp's identity: I thought it was S-62/ Company 1318 and despite a paucity of material online, I managed to find a company photo, a Christmas menu with the roster at that time, a second set of company officers, and a few other things.
After much more digging, I am now convinced that that particular camp was really S-69, and S-62 was located below Corker's Creek, which is itself below Shad Landing State Park, south of Snow Hill, Maryland. Despite having found out more about that camp, little or no sign of it remains.
There were actually three camps in the lower part of Worcester County, the third being located somewhere near Public Landing.That was Camp MC-73/Co. 365, a mosquito control camp. Of the three, I am least interested in that one, but nevertheless, I will dutifully record what I find about it.
It, too, deserves to be remembered.
Note: The State of Maryland plans to do some documentation on existing CCC structures over the next couple of years. I'll post what I learn, when I learn it.

Get Better Food in Camp Than Is Served At Home
Says County Boy
A Somerset county boy, a member of one of the CCC Camps, in writing his parents a description of camp life among 'other things said: "Dad, we have better eats every day in the week than you and Morn have on Sunday."
According to the following facts and figures recently released by the Army Quartermaster Corps, this must be true.
Dish up one and a half carloads of oatmeal, scramble a half a million eggs, pile them alongside a carload of bacon and better than a carload of flour cooked into biscuits, wash the whole thing down with several tank cars of coffee and you have an approximate breakfast served the CCC Camps in the country.
Of course, on the side there are other things like another carload or so of butter, 1,800 cans of syrup, better than a carload of sugar and more than 10,000 cans of jam and preserves. In all their breakfast figures about twenty carloads of food. For the day, they use almost fifty-eight carloads.
Figures compiled by the Army Quartermaster Corps, which has the job of feeding the 500,000 Civilian Conservation Corps workers, set their monthly consumption of food at 1,737 1/2 carloads. This listed thirty-nine items of food.
They eat more beef than anything else-9,375,000 pounds, or 426 2-3 carloads, of it a month. Pepper and flavoring extracts ranked lowest, from the standpoint of amount. Nevertheless they manage to get away with 37,500 bottles of flavoring and 150,000 cans of pepper a month.The army figured that it cost $262,500 to buy the Thanksgiving turkeys for the CCC. There were forty-four refrigerator cars loaded down with 875,000 pounds of the birds.
Thanksgiving Menu
But this was by no means the end of their Thanksgiving dinner.
The army listed the menu as:
Oyster Soup, Crackers, Roast Young Turkey, Chestnut Stuffing, Giblet Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Olives, Pickles Stuffed Celery, Fresh Roast Pork, Creamed Mashed Potatoes, Southern Style Sweet Potatoes, Creamed Peas, Lettuce with Mayonnaise; Mince Pie, Apple Pie, Boston Cream Pie, Fruit Cake, Ice Cream, Assorted Nuts,
Mixed Candies, Apples, Oranges, Bananas, Bread, Cream, Sugar, Coffee, Cigars, Cigarettes
Naturally, they were not expected to do any work on Thanksgiving. Their daily ration, which is the same as that for the army, was worked out in 1932. The surgeon-general reported that tests had shown the men in the CCC gained from seven to eleven pounds in their first two months of feeding on it. The cost of their food runs about $6,000,000 a month, which figures down to about 45 cents a day for each man. Originally, the .army furnished the cooks for the camps, but now the CCC has learned to cook for itself.
Locations - All in lower Worcester County, Maryland
Camp MC-73 (mosquito control) was located somewhere near Public Landing, east of Snow Hill . I don't know where yet.
Camp S-62 was located south of Corker's Creek, below Snow Hill.
Camp S-69 was located on Camp Road, just above what is now Milburn Landing State Park.

Jon Stewart enlisted a borough full of New York City residents and stars — including the cast of the musical Jersey Boys — to ask Fox News host Sean Hannity not to follow through on his promise to leave the city (from which he was already retreating).
"Remain in the state that fills you with hate," the Jersey gang sang. "That's the state you will live in anyway."
Stewart noted that Hannity went from being upset by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's (D) statement that "pro-assault weapon, anti-gay" conservatives weren't welcome in the city to speculating aloud about the benefits of living in state-tax free Texas, where Gov. Rick Perry (R) has said much the same thing about marriage equality supporters.
"Sounds like he's got a case of Selective Undergarment Bunching, or S.U.B.," Stewart reasoned.
Of course, Stewart said, Hannity wasn't as trapped as he made himself out to be.
"He's gotta know, it's not East Germany," Stewart pointed out. "You can really get out any time."
But with the help of actor Nathan Lane, fashion mogul Tim Gunn and others, the Daily Show host offered up an entreaty from New Yorkers from just about all walks of life.
"I will lose my accent if you stay," one cab driver promised. "Let's grab a beer and watch the game."
Watch Stewart and friends make their pitch, as posted online on Monday, below.
