Vacations 5 Best Destinations to Travel EASILY with Your Family
If you can get past the enormous expense of going on holiday here, London is an easy adventure for American families. For one thing, they speak English. While, personally, I have a nearly obsessive love of foreign languages, it's true that little things can make or break a family vacation. The detail of not having to whip out a language dictionary or scramble to find someone who can understand your frantic gestures really makes a difference. Especially with small kids in tow. Combine the ease of communication with a clear and intuitive subway system, simple foods, iconic castles and incredible museums, and you have yourself the foundation for a really grand vacation.

Same language? Check. Familiar foods? Check. Impressive scenery, loads to do and plenty of friendly people to help you out along the way? Check, check and check. The plane ride (and airfare) is nothing to sneeze at, but if you're willing to make the voyage, the rest of your vacation will be a breeze. Not to mention, Australia is the only natural home to koalas and kangaroos - two of childhood's most beloved critters. And if those animals don't give your kids reason to say "g'day," then maybe they can find a different favorite at the Taronga Zoo or Sydney Aquarium. Moderate climate, world-famous architecture and lots of history will also make your trip Down Under come out on top.

Sweet little Switzerland! Calm, clean, quiet. Incredibly easy to get around, fast and efficient public transportation. Stunning scenery and an abundance of outdoor activities at any time of year. Combine these things with the fact that most people speak three or four languages (odds are that one of them will be yours), and you have the ideal foundation for a phenomenal family trip. It's a bonus that this country also boasts some of the best chocolate (in hot and cold form) on the planet.

Depending on where you live in the States, it's not that long a flight to the tiny country of Costa Rica. Once there, most people speak English (although I would encourage you to learn some Spanish to be a responsible and conscientious tourist and to set a good example for your kids). Costa Rica is known as the "greenest country in the world," and is a world leader in eco-tourism. Enjoy the amazing wildlife, admire the incredible jungle, and bring home new ideas on how to shrink your family's carbon footprint. Your kids will love the wildlife, and you will love that Costa Rica is a safe and healthy place to travel with your children; several US hospitals even have sister institutions here. But, as with anything, if you have special concerns, talk to your doctors before departure.

By Emmanuel Aziken & Tony Edike
Enugu—Southeast governors yesterday demanded the imposition of a state of emergency as a necessary step towards checking the erosion menace in the region.
The governors spoke separately on the second day of the Senate retreat with the theme, "The Challenges of Gully Erosion in the Southeast,†just as erstwhile Chief Justice of the Federation,Justice Mohammed Uwais, advanced reasons election petition cases should be time-barred.
Governors Sullivan Chime of Enugu, Peter Obi of Anambra, Ikedi Ohakim of Imo and Theodore Orji of Abia State made the region's quest for emergency intervention in the environmental degradation of the zone.
Governor Obi shocked the gathering with his revelation of how the Federal Government awarded rehabilitation contracts for sixteen non-existing erosion sites in Anambra State.
Calling for massive forestation programmes to ensure long term sustenance of ecological rehabilitation projects, the governors also drew the attention of the Senators to what they bemoaned as the extensive infrastructural problems in the zone.
Noting the ravage of gully erosion in the zone, Governor Chime, who identified 317 erosion sites in Enugu State in his remarks to the Senators, pleaded for federal intervention.
"The South East is perching precariously at the mercy of gully erosion. Individual governments in the zone have taken many bold steps to prevent it, but our dwindling finances could not match the enormous funds needed to fight the menace.''
In his address, Governor Ohakim, who revealed the existence of 460 erosion sites in Imo State, called for the erosion problems of the Southeast to be given the type of national attention accorded some other national problems.
"The trend must not be allowed to impoverish our people,'' the Imo Governor said, as he disclosed that his administration had awarded contracts for the rehabilitation of eleven erosion sites and planted one million trees to help check the menace.

Come Together and Comment Forever in Your Indefinitely Infinite Open Thread
Every comment is a brick in the bridge to whatever comes next for us.
Oh god, I am over a month late in getting back to you all on this. What can I say? Sorry. Back before the beginning of the year, I asked who of you wanted to take some of my (some nice, some not so nice) stuff off my hands, helping me feel less burdened and helping me clean out my closet at the same time. So many of you said you'd be in. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.If the 4 people below, all chosen for different reasons as you'll see, are still interested (and still among the living), write to email@example.com (I'm sure Olivia will be thrilled that I just sort of randomly picked her to deal with this -- hi sweetie!). We will make a date for you to come to my apartment and take some stuff. We will have fun! We will have lunch! I won't cook it! You can pet Balloon! Charlotte probably won't let you in her room! Yay!!!! Good times!!PS When I was launching this site, someone (hi David) gave his editorial opinion that I should not allow any writers to use (or did he say abuse?) exclamation points. Clearly I didn't follow that advice. I was totally anti-exclamation-point all through Sassy and Jane magazines and never let writers use them except when we were making a statement about the over-use of them. I didn't even use them in my personal notes or letters. Then about 5 years ago I embraced the exclamation point and love it. How do you feel about them? And puns or song-titles as headlines (both of which I still have not embraced)?PPS Come visit me and get your free clothes and give them to a good cause or to your own good-cause self!PPPS I have always loved the PS.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Pearl River man was charged with DWAI after officers found him Wednesday parked in a handicapped space of a closed-down restaurant in Airmont, according to the Ramapo Police Department.
Officers spied the car around 10 p.m. sitting in the parking lot with two people inside, police said.
After speaking with the occupants, the officer determined who the operator was and that he recently drove the vehicle to that location. The officer also determined that the driver was unfit to operate a motor vehicle and that it was due to a combination of drugs and alcohol, police said.
The 47-year-old man was charged with DWAI after a drug recognition expert conducted an in-depth assessment, police added.
The unidentified man was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

On Nov. 11, nearly two dozen veterans from the local area participated in a free Veteran's Day Pheasant Hunt to honor their service to the country.
The Fulton County Sportsmen Club and the Fulton County Chapter of Pheasants Forever sponsored the event. A grant from the Ohio Division of Wildlife paid for the 75 male pheasants used in the hunt. Ammunition, orange hunter caps, guides, and bird dogs were provided to the 22 veterans who participated in the event. The veterans brought only a valid hunting license and their own shotgun to the hunt. No fee was charged to the veterans.
According to the FCSC president, Greg Ruger, this was the first time the hunt has taken place. "We thought a pheasant hunt would be a unique way to thank our local vets for their service to America." Whether or not this becomes an annual event has not been determined yet, but the veterans who attended were appreciative of the efforts of the FCSC members and the Pheasants Forever chapter.
The day began at 7:30 a.m. with a hearty breakfast served at the Sportsmen Clubhouse where the veterans met and were divided into smaller groups. By 9 a.m., the groups were positioned in various fields around Fulton County to begin the hunt.
Jack Gilsdorf, an Army veteran of 13 years, harvested the first bird of the day. Gilsdorf served at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and he was excited to be part of the hunt. "This is the first pheasant I have shot since I was 12 years old," he said. According to Gilsdorf, everyone in his four man group got at least one bird. Ruger said a few dozen birds were taken during the three hour hunt.
By noon, the veterans returned to the Sportsmen Clubhouse for a chance to swap stories about the hunt, and they received a warm lunch of chili with pies for dessert.
"This was really a group effort to salute the veterans in the area," Ruger commented after the hunt. The landowners Kevin and Roland Demaline, Chris Grime, Kenny Frey and Mark Dopp allowed the Pheasants to be placed on their property before the hunters walked their fields to flush the birds.
"I want to thank the landowners, the members of the Fulton County Chapter of Pheasants Forever, and everyone in the Sportsmen Club who helped make this hunt possible. Most of all, I want to thank all veterans for their service to our country," said Ruger.

Zunzún y Zunzuncito, Cuban Emerald and Bee Hummingbird
Zunzún or bumblebee hummingbird shown here at 1.5 times actual size. Odds are good you'll spot one while visiting the island.
The zunzún is a hummingbird and the world's smallest warm-blooded vertebrate weighing between 1.6 and 1.8 grams. When flying, its wings beat 80 times per second, and when mating, up to 200 times per second. Its heart rate is the second fastest of all animals. Zunzúns also have the fewest feathers of all birds. Their daytime body temperature is 40°C (104°F), the highest of all birds. At night, it drops down to 19°C (66°F) to save energy. Zunzúns eat half their total body mass and drink eight times their weight in water daily. They are found in Cuban woodlands, shrubbery and gardens. Its nest is only 3 cm (1 in) in diameter. Its diet consists mainly of nectar and insects.

Dirty air indoors is no laughing matter.
HVAC systems need proper maintenance and there's no substitute for a reliable, affordable air duct cleaning service.
If you neglect the ductwork, you'll find that nasty allergens can accumulate and wreak havoc with the air quality in your home.
Air duct cleaning needs to be done properly and we're here to help…
Cleaner Ducts for A Healthier Environment Indoors
As well as the normal build-up of dust and dirt, a number of other factors contribute to dirtied ducts:
- Pet hair and dander
- Water contamination
- Cigarette smoke
- Any DIY or renovation projects
For any members of your house with asthma, hay fever or other allergies, clean air ducts are essential to prevent needless irritation.
Children and the elderly also tend to be more sensitive to contaminants so don't expose them unnecessarily.
Air duct cleaning is not an optional luxury but an essential factor in keeping the air in your home fresh and clean.
Why Bother With Air Duct Cleaning?
There are 2 key benefits to clean air ducts:
- Enhanced air quality
- Energy savings
You can think of your HVAC system as the lungs of your house. Air is sucked in then breathed out. Make sure that air is clean and not polluted.
Up to 40% of all energy used for cooling or heating your home is wasted. Getting your air ducts cleaned will reduce this inefficiency and save you money while also prolonging the life of your system.
Air Flow Issues in Castle Pines
A statutory city with just over 10,000 residents, Castle Pines is just southeast of Denver. With a lovely balance of open space and safe residential neighborhoods, air quality outdoors is first-class.
Why spoil this with air duct issues?
The climate in Castle Pines, Colorado gives you a high degree of comfort all year round. This is largely due to the altitude and lack of humidity. With almost 250 sunny days a year, you're sure to be giving your air conditioning plenty of service. In the winters, expect up to 70 inches of snow in Castle Pines against the national average of just 26 inches.
So with this strain placed on your HVAC system, how about air duct cleaning in Castle Pines?
Altitude Comfort: Duct Cleaning Done The Right Way
One of the snags when you're looking for air duct cleaning companies in Castle Pines is the number of businesses vying for your attention.
While Castle Pines is not a large place, plenty of cleaning companies from the outlying areas are hungry for trade.
With Altitude Comfort, you are guaranteed a winning combination of quality and affordability. This company also places a premium on outstanding customer service.
When it comes to cleaning air ducts, there are two main types of machine to get the job done right:
- Rotary Brush System
- Negative Air Pressure System
Sometimes, the smaller rotary brush machine is perfectly fit for purpose. The problem is that many Castle Pines cleaning services only have this machine. It's not always man enough for the job.
Air Duct Cleaning Denver offers you the best of both worlds. Once their technicians have checked out which system would be most effective, you can relax and let them take care of business. Both varieties of air duct cleaning systems come with HEPA filters so all those nasty pathogens will be sucked out of the ducts in no time.
Give them a call on (303) 995-0627. Whether you want to book in a clean or get a quotation, their customer service agents are efficient and extremely helpful. For air duct cleaning services in Castle Pine, Altitude Comfort takes some beating.
Do You Really Need Air Duct Cleaning?
In a word, yes.
If you can smell anything untoward coming from your HVAC system or you notice any discoloration on your carpets, it's time to arrange for duct cleaning.
20% of Americans are exposed to substandard air at home or in the office. Make sure you're among the 80% breathing in safe, clean air.
What's The Bottom Line?
Getting your air ducts cleaned is not cheap. If you are prepared to invest in the services of a dependable company, it's likely to be $500 or so.
Don't be driven purely by the bottom line. Look for overall value and results not just the cheapest quote.

SafePreservation is a start-up company spin-off originated at Seville Engineering School, Spain, by Ph. D. Ramón Risco with the objective to apply the principles of physics and cryobiology to gamete and embryo cryopreservation. As a result of years of investigation, it got a prize as The Best Executive Project MBA EOI 2011. However, our best reward was still about to come.
In the early 2012, SafePreservation was born and our products were finally defined so that they were user-friendly, and they add value to the processes taking place in clinical laboratories and hospitals. SafePreservation was soon known in other countries and got in contact to important clinics all over the world where their products easily settled due to their high efficiency rates and cost savings.
Currently, SafePreservation is present in important clinics in Spain, USA and Colombia, where it has already settled, and continues making its way through different countries, introducing its advanced products and applying them successfully.

Far Eastern University
FEU for me is Culture. Far Eastern you gives quality education and also teaches us to love, understand, and be aware of our own culture thru cultural show's at the famous FEU Auditorium, Historical & Architectural landmarks in the campus. If you're in FEU you'll be proud not only because of being a student of FEU, you'll be proud more to be a Filipino because of Botong Francisco, Manansala, Pablo Antonio, Nick Joaquin & Dr. Reyes whose works of Art's are appreciated throughout the world... And their works and legacy... A stone's throw away from morayta.
Anthony N. Apurillo, UAP
Batch 2006 IARFA
FEU is an 80 year old higher education institution. It was named by the late Pres. Quezon as the Best Private Non-Sectarian University in the Philippines. Truly by its vision to become the University of Choice in Asia, about 700 international students are currently enrolled in the University comprising of the students within Asia Pacific, Africa and North America.
Fortitude, Excellence, Uprightness.. That three(3) values could give you a broad opportunities in life towards your goal.
I graduated from FEU Manila many years ago and is now posted here in southern Mindanao for a work that is uniquely cross-cultural in terms of orientation and transformational development by emphasis of which people-related and leadership skills are much in demand notwithstanding necessary academic preparations, my stay in FEU gave it all. Nope, I'm not of the topnotch "brainy" and highly-versatile type of student before, just an ordinary one but I'm very grateful my experience and education in FEU paved the way for what I'm satisfyingly doing right now. FEU has been long under-rated but its excellent academic and athletic programs and professors, modern facilities, beautifully-green, deco arts-rich campus right in the middle of old bustling Manila as well as its long history of hundreds if not thousands of successful lower and middle class-based alumnus is a testament of why the Tamaraws have made it and would make it. Tams up FEU!
I am one of the pioneering batch of Hotel and Restaurant Management in FEU. FEU provides us amazing professors from the industry of Hotel and Restaurant as well as great facilities. FEU built a mini hotel with great kitchen laboratory, bar rooms, one single room and suite room. Di lang yan, the tuition fee as much affordable compared to other universities offering the same course. There are activities that really helps us learn more and exercise our skills. FEU is simply the best. A package of everything. GO FEU!
FEU, one of the BEST Schools in Medicine & Medical Technology :)
Level I Accredited Courses
Autonomous Status
UNESCO World Heritage Site for Art Deco Buildings
One of the BEST Universities in the Philippines
ISO Certified for Quality Education
Lots of Affiliated International Universities and Local Companies
1st in Philippines and 2nd in Asia to have VINES Laboratory for BS Nursing
Top Performing School in Nursing (1000 or more category)- CHED
Since its establishment in 1928 by founder Dr. Nicanor Reyes, Sr. , FEU has been recognized as one of the leading universities in the Philippines in the field of MEDICINE, ARTS AND SCIENCES (BIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, MATHEMATICS), ACCOUNTANCY, ENGINEERING, etc. FEU is such a great university in the archipelago. Has a good reputation, extraordinary facilities, best faculties, effective curricula and among others.
Proud to be a true-blooded Tamaraw! Though other schools keep on uttering mocking FEU, well, its just a solid proof that we FEU does threaten their present state and is too far at them. Those mockeries are purely sour grapes, and tamaraws will never be moved an inch nor be frightened to that, for we are all educated individuals.
FEU is simply the BEST! It already has proven its excellence for years in many fields, both for brawn and brains!
long live FEU!
A lot of people may say that we are on par with other top universities, but those people don't know the quality of education that Far Eastern University has been offering for the past 84 years. Not just the education but also the values that makes a Tamaraw unique from others, it has been proven that our university is one of the pillars of education here in the Philippines. "Molding the mud to gold" as they say.
Guided by the core values of Fortitude, Excellence and Uprightness Far Eastern University aims to be a university of choice in Asia.
Committed to the highest intellectual, moral and cultural standards, Far Eastern University strives to produce principled and competent graduates.
It nurtures a service-oriented and environment-conscious community which seeks to contribute to the advancement of the global society.
BS BIOLOGY, which is my course, was granted level III accreditation of PACUCOA. So? If you like to choose Biology as your course, then choose FEU. FEU will provide you a wide range of activities unlike any other schools, pag pumasok ka, feeling mo na you're working, but in FEU, you feel like a real college student and ready to go to meet your dreams. FEU is the starting ground. GO PIYU! :))
I vote Far Eastern University not just because I'm part of it but also because FEU provides a high quality education and yes I already prove it, it not just lead but it also motivates everyone to be on the peak of their career and FEU also provides great facilities to make everyone comfortable, FEU can be everyone's second home and it's really fun to be with its growing institution... More power and keep up the better work and if possibly the best one...
My daughter is now an alumni of FEU main campus who have just completed and graduated the degree of mass communication last year 2015, and at present my youngest son is now again enrolled in FEU tech taking up Information Technology. Both my daughter and son have choose FEU as their university without my interference because I know FEU excels in developing young people both in academic and athletics. Congratulation FEU.
Very good university
High standard school
Excel in academic
go! TAMARAWS!
this is a true university and very world class
kh8 nsa top 3 ang FEU.. magaling kami! pagdating sa sports, board examinations and the number 1 curriculum is INTERSHIP!
PAUTAKAN, PATATAGAN, SAKRIPISYO ang katapat
GO! mga FEUnions
FEU no doubt is one of the best and prestigious universities in the Philippines. The top 2 richest filipinos are her products. Namely, Henry Sy and Lucio Tan and it took a lady tamaraw in Cory Aquino to topple a strong dictator and corrupt president who is a product of U.P.
FEU Students and Alumni were born without a Silver Spoon in their mouth...
compared to some Students and Alumni from expensive exclusive schools who just uses their connections and money in order to succeed in life. They will never understand the value of hardship, because they just used a shortcut in order to reach their goals.
Far Eastern University is the school having a good facilities, outstanding academics and staff. Their classrooms, buildings, pavilions are always clean and green that can prevent the students in harms and sickness. This is also the university that excellent in sports that can help the students to be physically fit.
Guided by the core values of Fortitude, Excellence and Uprightness, Far Eastern University aims to be a university of choice in Asia. Committed to the highest intellectual, moral and cultural standards, Far Eastern University strives to produce principled and competent graduates. Undeniably THE BEST!
I'm proud to be a TAMARAW.. :) and yes, FEU offers the best quality education that every student must be very proud of. When it comes to the facilities, FEU lets the students not only to learn but to enjoy their 4 year stay in the institution. FEU brings out the best in every student.
FEU is Now AUTONOMOUS. A testament that provides highest learning of education in the Philippines. Almost all programs are accredited by PAASCU as LEVEL 3 and now applying for Level 4 and Center of Excellence and Center of Development in Business, Arts and Science Programs..
I'm a freshman, head above us such as sophomores, juniors and seniors help me to find what I needed when I enrolled.
Guards did their job properly and there is a time that the course I want had no more section to be filled. But a Man with concern enrolled me and let me go home early that afternoon. I just went back the next day.
:)) Bring back the glory! It is coming soon anyway. Learned so much from our best professors. Made me proud to appreciate more about our culture and heritage that has a very significance in molding our country's future. Hope more universities do well.
The Far Eastern University is the 6th oldest university in the Philippines. Also, it is the 4th oldest private, non-sectarian university based on its granted university status. Its existence for more than 80 years will justify its viability as a university.
Feu provides me a full knowledge of what I want to learn all the students are very well trained in serving the feu community. I also love the way on how they give discipline rules which shows that they are a school of integrity and accountability
I'm a new Tamaraws and I can prove that this University is one of the best!

Food and wine pairing is easier then you think. The old rules-primarily red wine with red meat and white wine with fish and poultry still apply.Remember that rules are meant to be broken and you can pair which ever wine you like best with any type of food. Be careful, to match the wines so that the food does not empower the wine or vice versa. Some rules to remember are:
1. balance the flavor intensity. Pair light-bodied wines with lighter food and fuller-bodied wines with heartier, more flavorful, richer and fattier dishes.
2. An earthy Pinot Noir goes well with mushroom soup and the grapefruit/citrus taste of Sauvignon Blancs goes with fish for the same reason that lemon does.
3. Beware of a pairing a wine with food that is sweeter than the wine.
4. Spicy foods work best with sweet dessert wines. Opposing flavors can play off each other, creating new flavor sensations and cleansing the palate.

Stags Rugby League club has a rare chance to showcase the world cup. More than 100 kids from the New Lynn community gathered at the club to have a photo taken with the prized trophy.
Communities have come together to see the Rugby League World Cup.
NZRL Community playgroup manager Marissa Holland says, "Today we have got our end of year playgroup's day, we have invited all our play groups nationwide to come and have a fun day together and it's also a good chance to see the world cup trophy as well."
Holland says it's a unique occasion and a fun day for groups to come together from afar.
"Like I say it's just a good chance to build a bit of interest and we are looking at families that may normally, may not know anything about rugby league. Just having the families and having the trophy they are that much more excited about the rugby league world up next year."
The Rugby League World Cup was welcomed by a small group of kōhanga reo kids from Tahuri Mai.
Tahuri Mai Kōhanga Reo teacher Leatiana Shelford says the day's gathering was a bonus for the kids to learn more about the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
"This is a big and exciting event for us to support. What makes me happy is that the kids kicked off the event."
Holland says, "It has grown a lot it has been a very busy year for playgroups. The momentum has been growing, it is just getting busy and more clubs are requesting play groups."
The NZRL Playgroups currently has 15 locations with the aim of growing the initiative next year.

I first met Subarata in the mid-1970s in New Zealand, our two lives intersecting in what seemed a chance occurrence in a very random, fortuitous universe.
There is a song I like called "Beautiful Collision" by a popular New Zealand musician who describes these everyday, arbitrary intersections of lives, the chance encounters, the endless possibilities of life weaving and colliding all around us. The song reminds us of how the little moments of impulse or choice shape our endless tomorrows. If we had lingered here a little longer, started that conversation, said "yes" instead of "no," perhaps "no" instead of "yes," taken a chance, placed a bet, passed through that door, smiled in response, made the hard choice… it might all have turned out differently. Subarata was one of the beautiful and fateful collisions that did occur in my life.
She had blue sky in her eyes and questing in her heart, a little wildness in her. I saw that Subarata was a nomad, a wanderer, that we shared the same journey – I knew I had met a kindred spirit. In a shoulder bag she carried Lao Tzu's mystic teachings, the Tao Te Ching – she had underlined things, words and phrases, grasping at the heart of the book and devouring its wisdom hungrily. She was responding to the same things as I was, searching for her way forward, stumbling through the maze.
There are probably thousands of people out there in this world with whom we share deep similarities of interest and temperament, inner connections and spiritual kinship, people who could have filled our whole lives in the other endless possibilities of existence, the beautiful collisions that might have taken place. Mostly, we never get to know them – but we see them in our meditation classes, meet them on journeys, pass them in any street, our unknown family within the larger human race. Subarata was one of those that I actually met.
Most of those bygone years together have been forgotten, their occasional recollections coming from a faraway time like the light from a very distant star. Yet I do recall how in a moment of absolute inconsequence, one day we married in a registry office in a tiny village, a necessity if Subarata were to return to or stay in New Zealand. Unseen by us, the simple act of scribbling our careless signatures on a piece of paper heralded a deeper commitment. It was a postscript from some past, the prelude to some future, both a consequence and a beginning in a much greater fabric of time. We were setting forth together on a much greater journey than all of our wanderings of the earth, yet the journey's beginnings, we felt, lay elsewhere in a faraway time.
We did not bother telling anyone of this formality – it meant nothing to us. Only years later, when the two of us were driving with my parents to a faraway town, I turned to my mother and said, "By the way, did I ever tell you we are married?" My mother, Anne, was astonished, then a little rueful we had not told her earlier. But then she laughed and turned to Subarata the nomad, the gypsy, with a great smile, hugged her and said, "You are a brave girl to marry my son, and I love you for it!"

What you need to know about carding and phishing
Carding is credit card fraud. There are various carding programs and documents which offers information and methods how to get credit cards, how to produce fake credit card numbers, how to duplicate valid credit cards and how to use them.
One of the ways to get credit card number is via Spyware parasites that makes identity thefts and can track user's credit card numbers if he was using online shop's services. If this information goes to people that would use it for illegal purposes, user can loose all his money and even more. Carding's and victims of dialers loose a lot of money.
Sometimes Even all security measures can't help, because your credit card number can be simply generated with the program. Imagine that some guy lost his credit card and he was the client of the same bank. Carder got that number and with the help of some programs he can generate another Credit card number which accidentally can be yours. Similar numbers usually have the same expire date. When shopping in internet name and the surname of credit card sometimes is not checked, so carder can enter any name with your credit card number and get the purchase.
Even now at the year of 2005 level one of all authorisation systems doesn't check the name, the address, the zip code and the CVV2 code of the card. Carder only needs to know the certain banks and certain series of credit cards and to generate new ones. Carder can make purchases only with generated credit card numbers, simply get instant software downloads, get the goods to the fake addresses under fake names.
Is it the same as phishing?
Phishing is is the illegal act when an email is sent to a user under the false pretence of being a legitimate enterprise such as a financial institution, service provider, or online retailer. So it's a bit different from carding. But it's the way to get credit's card number. User that got e-mail, goes to the website of that financial institution and updates his private data: password, name, last name, credit card's number, bank accounts number, etc. But both, phishing and carding are huge threats to user's privacy.
– If you have registered on Internet, write down the web site's URL and read carefully the terms and conditions of using that site. Try to register only with reputable and authority websites;
– If you have Internet Filtering software, block known phishing sites URLs;
– Get anti-spyware software that block known phishing e-mails and spam;
– If you shop products in local store with your credit card, always keep the receipt. Never drop the receipt to the nearest recycle bin;
– Never give anyone your credit card and pin code;
– You can contest the charge within 30 days, so be sure to check your credit card statement at least twice a month.
Is it a threat?
Phishing is getting widespread. A new Gartner Inc. study reports that phishing scams have exploded in number in the past year with a 50% increase over 2003. As many as 30 million people have been subject to phishing attacks, and 1.78 million people may have fallen victim to the online scams, which are used for identity theft. In the study, 3 percent of survey respondents reported having been drawn into a phishing scam. Gartner estimates that direct losses from identity theft fraud against these phishing attack victims cost U.S. banks and credit card issuers about 1.2 billion usd last year.

I wanted to share with you how wonderful the staff is at the Middleton store. Our oldest field spaniel "Emmy" made an immediate connection to Kim, it is now a little bit comical when we ask her prior to bed if she would like to go to Mounds and see Kim! As soon as we get up in the morning our little fur ball is better than "Siri" at reminding us of our "appointment" at Mounds to visit with Kim. She "talks" all the way over to the store I'm pretty sure she is saying "Drive faster Kim is waiting for me"
We love the entire staff at the store, all of them are so friendly and nice even to our trouble maker "Enzo". Thanks you for hiring such wonderful and caring people to work at your stores, they are the best around!

At water's edge is how I locate my life: Great South Bay marshes and beaches
of Long Island; peninsula of Pittsburgh narrowed by the Monongahela and the
Allegheny rivers; bank of the Susquehanna in Harrisburg; and now the
Delaware's levee in Philadelphia, the Schuylkill at my back. As a poet, too,
I've stood to the side of the mainstream, in the marshy detritus of language
from which new language emerges, myself a river and reiver, splitting and
splicing, plundering and rescuing, making a language of my mother tongue,
being made by it. So, a reiver's view of riverviews, this column of musings
on language and poetry.
Fire on the Lake: Live from Druskininkai
By J.C. Todd
Friday, October 4: On the dark lake, two boats crammed with poets, on the dark shore, more poets, all inspired. Water to earth, earth to water, they are reading from the heart of the word poems about fire, voices enlarged by wine and electronics. At lakeside, a ring of seven straw totems, Ur-figures, each about ten feet high, fashioned by Lithuanian pyrotechnics. As the poets breathe fire-words, the totems are set aflame, one by one, their blaze a hot brilliance on which the poems ascend into fire-lit rain that gleams like shards of amber. Fire, Air, Water, Earth. Except for the electronics, this could be early in the world, when time was season and rhythm, and meaning did not matter as much as sound, fire, heat. This could be an autumnal pagan festival in ancient Lithuaniathe poems, dainos, old Baltic folksongs, and the poets Baltas, the pale tribes of the North. But the palm pilot calendar reads 2002, and the poets speak in a heterogeneity of languages—Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Russian, Byelorussian, Polish, Dutch, Spanish, Greek, Slovenian, Thai, and a variety of English dialects. The lake is a two hour drive from the geographical center of Europe, as determined by satellite geometrics, and the beauty of the babel is threatened by the homogenizing press of global economy—if the Euro is the lone franc, will a single lingua follow?
Perhaps the question is large in my mind this night because I am among so many languages that have extinguished others or have come dangerously close to extinction themselves. Polish has erased the Prussian spoken three hundred years ago just east of here, and English has diminished the Irish lingual heritage of one poet here to a charming lilt. During the Russian occupation of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, business, government, legal affairs, and education were conducted in Russian, and today in Latgalia, eastern Latvia, Russian predominates strongly as a common (although not legally approved) language of commerce, government and law. Byelorussian is so uncommon that when it was sung this afternoon, some poets wondered what language they were hearing. The Yiddish I listened to yesterday on a CD of ghetto tangos from the 1940's is spoken rarely by scattered octogenarians. Despite the dominance of English, the conqueror's tongue of the United States, my native land, I understand that it could become a dead tongue, too. But the preservation of my language is not my concern tonight; it is the lack of diversity, the shrunken power of heritage and inflexibility of thought that results from mono-culture, mono-language. After an evening of multi-lingual poetry readings, of listening to the music, although not the meaning, of seven languages, I am alive to the poverty as well as the wealth of a single tongue.
This is the evening of the opening day of Poetinus Druskininku ruduo 2002/ Druskininkai Poetic Fall, an annual festival celebrating Lithuania's fall poetry publications and the national poetic heritage. It is an especially auspicious year for the nation's literary culture because Lithuania is the guest of honor at the annual Frankfurt Book Fair the following week. The previous night, young Lithuanian poets had read for almost three hours at the Writers Union in Vilnius. This afternoon, after organizer Kornelijus Platelis officially opened the Festival and poet Sigitas Geda raised the Poetic Fall flag while paper streamers flamed behind him, the young poets joined the formal convocation of critics and poets convened to discuss "Poetry and Fire." Tomorrow the new books of the season will be displayed, but tonight, everyone walks the broad promenade back to the kavine, where, inspired by the winemaker and the beermaker, talking and dancing go late into the night.
Saturday, October 5: Last night in the kavine photos from previous festivals were projected on a large screen. This morning in the damp of a outdoor pavillion some of the same poets are signing the 2002 almanac containing poems of forty-three Lithunanian and international poets and one class of schoolchildren, a multilingual almanac in Lithuanian and the poets' native languages. Whether or not we read the various languages, many of us page through, comparing translations with originals, sighting forms, rhymes, word plays made obvious by spelling. Soon we will compose the traditional renga, each of us working in our native tongue, each tanka composed by two poets, the "haiku" of the first three lines by one, and the coda of the second two lines by the other. Tonight, after the Fall prizes and formal readings, as the renga is read aloud in all its tongues, poet by poet, I imagine the music that is beyond meaning will tune us to each other.
After lunch, books published during the year are presented. They cover two
tables and four languages, an ambitious showing for a small country.
Lithuanian poets have a reading in the afternoon, and in the evening, the
Jotvingiai Prize, the major fall award for a Lithuanian poet, is presented to Jonas
Zdanys, poet and English-language translator of the new collection, Five
Lithuanian Women Poets, published by Vaga Press, featuring selected poems
of Judita Vaiciunaite, Danute Paulauskaite, One Baliukone, Nijole Miliauskaite,
and Tautvyda Marcinkeviciute. The debut prize for the best poem by a
younger poet is awarded to Donatas Petrosius. Ten other poetry awards are
made for poems written in or translated into Lithuanian, five for an anonymous
poem on any subject and five for an anonymous humorous poem on the theme
of "Fire in the Water." Then there is a late-night caberet/talk show hosted by
critic and poet Liudvikas Jakimavicius—jokes, stories, a puppet show, blues
singer, awards of firewater that must be 100 proof, music and dancing.
Monday, October 7: For those who cannot quit, meaning the young, the hardy and the poetry lunatics, an informal evening reading at a famed gathering place for artists on the willow-hung bank of the Vilnia River, the Uzipis Cafe. Weaving into hours of readings are guitar, harmonica, blues singing, piano, choruses of drinking songs, ballads and a karaoke performance by an Australian songwriter. There is no way to separate the poetry from the music which seems to be playing in us as we wind home through the narrow medieval streets of Old Town.
And after the festival is over, after books have been packed, planes and buses boarded, kavine floors swept and hotel linens changed, what has remained? An almanac, remembered fragments of poems and conversations, a few new and renewed friendships, a detail recorded in a journal, a poem or two drafted, a pound or two gained. For me, and I hope for others, what remains is the sense of poetry tuning us to each other, particularly through its music. A Vilnius woodcarver told this story. When he was a child, his grandfather sometimes would lie on his back in a forest clearing, a Lithuanian folk dulcimer on his chest. He would play, his torso a sounding board vibrating to the music, the earth beneath him vibrating in response. He believed the music kept him well, in harmony with nature. In the old spa town of Druskininkai, and in the cafés of Vilnius, in the nation which, a decade ago, gained independence with a "Singing Revolution," I have felt how the music of poetry kept us well, in harmony with each other, and that has expanded my imagination for the possibility of peace among peoples of many tongues, a sonatina that supercedes differences, a glossolalia of accord.

Masters' Degrees in Teaching (Aspiring teachers grades 5-12)
Secondary school teachers have to have advanced knowledge in a single subject area, since unlike elementary school teachers, they teach multiple classes of students in one subject instead of one class of students in many subjects. This means that the process for earning licensure is different.
The Teaching Profession, Grades 5-12
Teaching grades 5-12 can be challenging since not only do you have to have mastery over your subject, but you also are working with children just beginning to understand and form their social roles. It's a time at which a teacher can make a huge impact on a young life, but it's also a time when discipline can be more difficult. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job growth rate is average for teaching professions, although with education spending cutbacks, job security can be an issue.
Earning a Master's in Teaching Grades 5-12
Gaining a Master's in Teaching not only allows graduates to be eligible for licensure exams, but may also enter them into the workplace at a higher salary. Studies include teaching internships in real classrooms as well as classes in how to use computers and other technologies in classrooms. Some states actually require teachers to obtain a master's degree in education.
Master's in Teaching Grades 5-12 Degrees (For Teachers)

- Marygrove College — MA in Teaching: Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment, K-12
