I suppose that Duvel does have the funds to make Liefmans survive, but it's clear that a lot of the beers will be axed.

Brewing was done in Dentergem alone. After the bankruptcy the former owners established the New Liefmans Holding. They (+ a new investor) were one of the three parties interested to acquire the temporary license (the former owners went into appeal against the bankruptcy, so a court case is still hanging).
Bidding to allocate the license was held last Wednesday. Initially New Liefmans Holding had the highest bid, but they didn't manage to secure the necessary guarantees from the bank. A potential third candidate for the takeover backed out, and Duvel secured the license over Liefmans Breweries.
The brewery at Dentergem was NOT a part of the assets concerned by the bidding, but all the rest was.

Its not easy being a girl who craves for momos in this part of the world. Sympathetic music in 3..2..1..
Ambiance: Yalla Momos is a cute restaurant tucked away somewhere in Karama. There are a handful of outdoors seatings and indoors seatings are available too just that it is a major hustle bustle chaos.
Service: The service is quick and prompt and before you know it there are on to the next customer – yes, it's THAT crowded.
Price: The prices are super affordable and rightly priced for each item.
What we ate;
Spinach and Cottage Momos [14AED]: I was super apprehensive about this particular momo. I mean.. spinach….. celery….. cottage cheese (paneer) my very own special edition nightmare, but to my astonishment, this was one of my favourite dishes. I absolutely loved the combination of spinach and cottage cheese. The Momo was soft and fluffy and seasoned just right.
Chicken Momos [13AED]: Im not saying I hate these, but the momo in itself was a little hard and rubbery when you'd go to bite into it. The chicken pieces were quite hard as well. Taste wise, I quite liked it, tasted very authentic.
Chicken 3C spicy Momos [15AED]: This was an interesting choice I picked; Chicken momos with minced cheddar cheese and chilli flakes for that spicy kick. Had this not been served hot and fresh like it was to me, you can fathom how bad it would have tasted. Nothing worse than pre melted cheese now thickened. These Momos were absolutely mouth watering. The momos were not over powered with the cheese as only a hint of it was present in them. I really liked the combination.. worked very well for me.
Shrimps Momos [16AED]: I love shrimps. I really do so don't mind me when I drool over these Momos. These were everything! Surprisingly the celery, the garlic paste, the shrimps, the parsley, the shrimp sauce paste all went together so well to make such an amazing tasting dish. Must try if you love shrimps and do not mind the over powering smell of them.
Wai Wai [10AED]: I first tried Wai Wai in my hostel few years back, these tasted just as good. I opted for the dry version as I was going to have some Masala Maggi anyways.
Masala Maggi [10AED]: Again, the only time I had some authentic maggi was when i was in Hostel a few years ago. And this one took me back a few years. I loved how this dish was cooked. The noodles were totally not over cooked and the masala tasted just perfect.
Final Thoughts: I really recommend you all try this place. The momos are just something else. Other than the chicken momos, I loved them all!
loved; Chicken 3C Momos
not so much; Chicken Momos
Find them; 04 3852233
Reach them; Behind Park Regis Hotel, Opposite Bikanerwala, Al Karama, Dubai
PC: Yalla Momos; Zomato

Tips for negotiating the 2017 spring market
Everyone knows that spring is the time when the real estate market heats up right? Traditionally, it's a time when lots of new listings come on the market and buyers who have been waiting patiently for more selections get to really explore all their options. That's not how spring 2017 is shaping up. So far, inventory has remained tight and the homes that are well priced and nicely updated are going under contract quickly and often with multiple offers. This is great news for sellers who have a realistic notion of their home's value and who have kept up with design trends. It's not necessarily bad for buyers, especially those who know what they want, have a clear idea of their budget and have some flexibility in when they purchase a house. But it certainly is stressful for both parties.
Here are some tips for successfully selling and buying a house in this current market:
What you can do as a seller
- Keep your home updated - Time goes by quickly and it's easy to lose track of current design trends. But if your college-aged children were toddlers when you last tackled a home project, you may want to take inventory. Buyers are busy and those who are interested in hiring contractors to undertake expensive projects is small.
- Know the market- It might be a seller's market, but buyers are savvy and won't just snap up any overpriced listing. If you overshoot the market value of your home, it will take longer to sell it, and it might sell for less than if it was priced well at the start.
- Now's a good time - If you have been thinking about listing your home in the near future, let us know. We would be happy to provide you with a market analysis of your house to give you an idea of its current value.
What you can do as a buyer
- Be ready - Make sure you have talked to a bank and have a pre-approval letter at the ready. When you find the right house, you don't want to delay submitting an offer because you need to track down a bank letter or have an old one updated.
- Know what you want - As buyers' agents, a big part of our job is helping you figure out what you want in a home. Do you want an open floor plan or plenty of rooms to retreat to? Looking for a quiet neighborhood with land, or a quick walk to town? Hoping for the ease of new construction or the charm of an older home? Many times, buyers don't know the answers to these questions until they start looking at houses. We always say that every house you see that you don't like gets you closer to finding the right one, so start doing your research. We are happy to show our clients as many houses as they want to see.
- Know your budget - This one's obvious, but worth stating. We don't want anyone to spend more than they are comfortable spending on a home. You need to have enough money left for when the water heater unexpectedly breaks or just to buy new bedroom furniture. Figure out what you can afford and then don't look at houses that cost more.
- Consider a project house - There are more houses in need of updating on the market than there are buyers interested in updating them, so here's an opportunity to get a deal. Projects don't come without costs but a house with good bones sometimes just needs some paint, refinished floors, new fixtures and appliances to really shine. Harness your inner HGTV personality!
- Start early - Give yourself a few months lead time to find the right house. The home buying process is less stressful if you aren't up against a tight deadline. The last thing we want is for our buyers to settle on a home because their lease is expiring.
- Try not to fall in love with a house - This is a hard one, we know. We want our buyers to really, really like any house they bid on, but ideally we don't want them to like it so much that they HAVE to have it. The numbers still need to work for you and once love enters into the equation… well you know what happens.
While the inventory is a bit tight, interest rates are still low and there is a lot of opportunity this spring!

George Runyan is considered to be one of the finest early Delaware River carvers. A life long resident of Bordentown, Runyan hunted over an area that was for many years a major convergence of flyways on the duck migration routes to Southern migrating grounds. Little detailed information is known about Runyan's life, but it is assumed that like may subsistence hunters, he made decoys for his own use and other hunters who frequented the area.
Bordentown is located midway in the Delaware Valley wildfowl region that stretches from just South of Trenton to Merchantville, 25 mites down river and across from Philadelphia. It is this close proximity to Philadelphia that has added to some confusion about the provenance of decoys made by Runyan and other area carvers. At times, their work has been attributed to John Blair, Jr. (1881-1953), who lived in Philadelphia. Blair appears to have painted his decoys in a distinctive styte not found with Runyan and other members of the "Bordentown."
Runyan is credited with about 70 black duck and scaup decoys which are smoothly sculpted without wing carvings.

Creating and accessing a Kubernetes cluster on OpenStack, part 1: Create the cluster
In honor of this week's Kubecon, we're bringing you information on how to get started with the Kubernetes container orchestration engine. On Monday we explained what Kubernetes is . Now let's show you how to actually use it.
CoreOS launches its OpenStack on Kubernetes project as a technical preview
Six months ago, CoreOS, the purveyor of fine, small Linux distributions and container management services, demoed a project that would allow its users to easily deploy the notoriously complex OpenStack private cloud platform with the help of containers and Google's Kubernetes container management tools.
NGINX Plus as a Cloud Load Balancer for OpenStack | NGINX
More and more organizations are embracing cloud computing. Moving applications into the cloud comes with several benefits, including cost reduction and agility. At the same time, quite often it can be a challenging task. Many organizations choose to build their own private clouds, either on their premises or hosted at a cloud provider, over using public cloud offerings.

Question: how do you clone people
clone, cloning
Asked by 950heac44 to Andy, Dwaine, Natt, Priya, Tatiana on 26 Jun 2015.
Andrew Scott
answered on 26 Jun 2015:
I don't know much about this, but I was reading some related stuff for another question last night. I think the way it could be done is to replace the DNA in a fertilised egg with the DNA of the person you want to clone. I guess that the embryo is left to grow for a little bit and then implanted into a woman's uterus to grow into a baby.
Can we clone a human? (I volunteer)
have you heard anything about making clones? if so, whats the point?
have you ever cloned anything

In sculpture, photography, film, and drawings, Sonntag evokes environments that are familiar yet oddly fraught and foreign, attempting to capture "the moment when abstraction hits everyday life." For her 2008 "Mittnacht" (Midnight) project, she created photographs evoking paranormal phenomena through intricate plays of reflection, shadow, and light in simple barren interiors. Sonntag's installations are combinations of household and studio objects set in ambiguous configurations—a table "standing" on a wall, a doorframe with no door—intended to elicit complex associations and a reconsideration of typical viewing experiences.

Misleading Website Builder Prices
Initially, I was searching for a web host, and just found that for what I wanted to do, they were just too expensive for a monthly plan, and every time I thought I found a decent price, it was the discounted price they advertised if you were to prepay for 4 years in advance. After I found that out, I was less than enthused to pay them money. Then I started looking for website builders like Squarespace, Weebly, and Wix. Squarespace was just priced a bit too high, and luckily they tucked the info about the higher monthly rate neatly at the top so you can easily see it. Weebly also did some hiding of the monthly rate, so I didn't even consider them. I then noticed Wix didn't seem to have any asterisk around its price and started to build the website, and get it designed the way I wanted. As I was about to start a plan with them, the checkout page listed that if I wanted to pay monthly for the plan, it would be higher than the price advertised. So now, I'm done. This is extremely misleading for customers. Sure, it's not a complete lie, the price costs $10 a month, for 12 months, but it should seriously list that somewhere in the pricing. When I sign up for Spotify, it says $9.99 a month because they charge you $9.99 a month. When I sign up for Amazon Prime, they could advertise it as $8.25 a month because it's a $99 a year subscription, but they don't because that's needlessly confusing. Had Wix listed in the pricing grid at the top, or even in the fine print at the bottom of the grid, that the price won't be as low as it says, I never would've even signed up for Wix, let alone waste my time designing a website there.
For now, Blogger works great for what it is. It's a great free tool, and the only issue I have with it is Google is very slow to update it, and keep it fresh. You get what you pay for I guess, at least Google is just being honest about the pricing here.

Hi everyone
I was wondering if anybody could give me a bit of advice.
I am a 27 year old woman who is married to a lovely man, but I have feelings for other females. I've had 4 or 5 relationships with women in the past - but when I was younger, and due to family and friends, I never told anyone because I have always been afraid of what people might say.
I know its not just something different/grass is greener syndrome thats attracting me to women because I've felt this way for as long as I can remember and the way I feel with a man is nothing like the fulfilment I do when I'm with a woman. I did think this would change when I got married and settled down, but regretfully it hasn't. My husband knows nothing of these feelings, or about my past and I recognise its wrong to keep things like that from him. I keep wondering whether I'll feel better if I met a woman - I know this is wrong because I am married, but I can't stop thinking about this, and its making me so unhappy when I think about ignoring these feelings for ever.
Has anyone else ever had a similar problem? I feel so confused.

PMIL partner, MFK, helps Haitian farmers replant after Hurricane Matthew
By Allison Floyd
University of Georgia, Peanut & Mycotoxin Innovation Lab
No time is a good time to have three feet of rain fall on your crop. When Hurricane Matthew slammed into Haiti in October, the Category 4 storm wiped out nearly all crops and half of livestock in the southern Grand-Anse region.
To help those farmers replant this season, Meds & Food for Kids (MFK) recently donated 3.6 tons of peanut seed to be distributed by the Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA), a Haitian nonprofit foundation working with farmers in the wake of the devastating storm. The seed will help more than 200 farmers get a crop started this spring after losing everything last fall.
MFK, which manufactures peanut-based therapeutic food, has its factory in the northern part of the country, a region that was spared the worst damage. The organization tries to source its peanut supply from local farms as much as possible, which has led MFK to work with farmers to increase yield and reduce losses from pests, disease or contamination.
Working with the Peanut & Mycotoxin Innovation Lab, MFK conducts research and extension work to improve crop yields and reduce aflatoxin for peanut farmers in the north, northeast and central plateau.
"MFK's ability to buy locally grown, low aflatoxin peanuts has increased exponentially over the last eight or nine years because of its mentorship by the Peanut &
Mycotoxin Innovation Lab research and extension faculty from the Universities of Georgia and Florida, Oklahoma State and Cornell University," said MFK Executive Director Pat Wolff.
"What the faculty has taught MFK, MFK has shared with farmers in not only conversation but in demonstration plots in rural areas and at MFK's site. Together, we are improving farmer yields and incomes and also lowering the aflatoxin exposure of the population. This is agriculture as public health and nutrition."
SFA will face similar challenges in helping farmers in the southern part of the country and plans to employ an agronomist to advise peanut farmers on issues from soil preparation to post harvest technology in order to reduce loss.
In thanking MFK for supplying the seed, SFA President Hugh Locke pointed out the strength of the groups working together toward common goals – assisting farmers to create a strong market.
"The challenge (of food security) cannot be greater when the right synergy is developed," he said.
Through SFA, peanut farmers had requested that their seeds be delivered to them in shell in order to prevent loss from deshelling by a machine, a request that MFK's peanut-supplier partner, Acceso Peanut Enterprise Corporation, was able to accommodate.
Since the hurricane, SFA has worked with 800 farm families in the southern part of the country, including 226 farmers – 75 women and 151 men – who received peanut seeds. Farmers expect to harvest the peanut crop in May of this year.
After the harvest, MFK hopes to buy the spring crop, allowing the farmers to complete a successful growing season and stabilize their operations since the storm.

Wow, two German racing games in one week.. das ist gut, ja? Coincidentally, both happen to be arcade style romps too, although Go Kart Challenge is sorta like a pint-sized version of Breakneck, sans rockets and oil slicks. Shoot, beer and pretzel HQ is exporting home-grown products like a Comlumbian cartel. Color me surprised - they deserve to be commended for it too.
Go-kart themed titles were never the rage on PCs and slowly but surely pulled a vanishing act over the course of floppy disc to CD-ROM evolution. Heavyweight contenders like Microprose, Virgin Interactive and Sega PC lost their shirt on stuff like Manic Karts and Formula Karts, so hats off to Data Becker for trying to administer shock therapy to a dead gaming niche. A ValuSoft-esque piece of software that screams "look at my shoestring budget" through and through isn't likely to be the miracle that revives this lost sub-genre though.
Jumping into the bugger is easy enough. Step one, set up your driver and vehicle. Three different driver types can be swapped out for sake of good looks and a trio of size groups (160cc, 200cc, 240cc) denotes the top speed of the mean machines that are qualified to compete. The karts looking for a good home include F1-C, F1-E, F1-K and F1-H models, which range from monster-truck to common garden-variety types of roadster. Driver uniforms and karts can be given a new paint job if it tickles your fancy. Additional tweaks may optionally be administered to lap, time, number of races, and computer opponent variables. Like 99.9% of the budget titles out there, customizable options were added just to pump up a feature list and don't have a striking effect on the gameplay.
The crucial decision to make is what type of race to sign up for. One to eight players have the option to turn and burn in a practice lap, single race, time trial run, points tournament, or knockout contest. We'll skip the explanatory breakdown, seeing as how similar choices are found in every other racer dating back to '95. AI-controlled drivers are the default opponents you'll face off against, though LAN match-ups are a-OK if a few buds wanna join in.
Much as I hate to disappoint, Go Kart Challenge's driving model doesn't deserve a barbaric skewering. Yes, it's substandard and looks like a pile of poop compared to Need for Speed, but head out for a whirl using the bare-bones keyboard interface and you'll find that somehow, some way, it's embarrassingly entertaining.
Corners could be handled by a monkey, as there's a huge allowance allotted to compensate for powerslide or spinout inducing mistakes. Since you're driving a veritable tank, collisions won't put a dent in your day nor slow your roll, though they do give the rest of the pack a leg up. That's no big deal, really, since they're so bad at retaining position that a drooling mongoloid could catch up seconds later, even if said vegetable was blindfolded and tied to a chair. I mean, hell, you can play this thing one-handed (or with your teeth) using the mouse and it actually works to a point. Not the most highbrow of concepts, I know, but swallow your pride and the single brain cell joyride'll be worth it.
Tracks, of which there are eight normal and weird ones, are shorter than Verne Troyer's arms. Billboards, trees and arena audience textures dot the sparse landscapes. Fog and rain effects can be switched on for kicks and a continual haze blankets the horizon, covering up buildings and rails that pop up out of nowhere. Further adding to that first-generation Direct 3D look are blobs that pass for smoke, jagged lines purported to be sparks and blatant graphic glitches such as cracks and disappearing textures.
Most of the real world or cartoonish tracks you'll race on take place indoors, though domed arenas with blurry "uh.. is that supposed to be the crowd or something" have textures peering out from behind spotlights above. All you'll really need to see to make a dent in the venues is your driver and vehicle, observed from a behind the back view, though parts of the duo have a tendency to go invisible. So much for beta testing...
Surely you can envision all vroom vroom sound effects and samples of crowd cheers a piece of budgetware entails. The ol' bump and grind sounds like it's being filtered through grainy speakers. A cheer filled award ceremony with drivers who prance about and flaunt the fact that they've hit paydirt is a cacophany of crap. Hailing from Europe, the least Go Kart Challenge's designers could have done would be to include some awful techno music.
Ignore the box hype; intense racing excitement this is not. An accurate description would read "the essential purchase for gamers that need something to keep their hyperactive hands busy with when they're talking on the phone." In perspective though, a Slinky works just as well and costs a fraction of the price. Ach du lieber!

The Being Project
The Being Project is a platform created by Cape Town-based photographer, Kate Davies. Driven by a deep love for animals, Kate uses eloquent and striking portraiture to give her subjects a voice, get people talking and help animals.
At the moment, the focus is dogs, "what I work to capture is the personality, the being that shares a life with people". Kate's intimate portraits capture dogs simply being themselves, not performing or posed to look cute and it's this stillness dignity that makes the work so compelling.

Giving for Generations
Memories preserve the past and inspire a path for the future.
For the Vogt siblings, one memory that drives their family's legacy of giving is that of their grandmother, Mary Regina Koessler, at her typewriter, diligently making note of the donations she would make to those in need. This legacy was solidified in 1989 with the creation of the Vogt Family Foundation, which was established with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their family business, Greater Buffalo Press.
To ensure that their parents' legacy of giving is passed on to future generations, the Vogt siblings decided to transfer their family foundation to the Community Foundation. "We know our voices will be heard long after we are gone," said Katie Schneider, the eldest of the Vogt siblings. "The Community Foundation will be here to tell our parents' story so that their legacy and our memory of them lives on forever."

A look into the Facebook Office in India – Hyderabad, Mumbai & Gurgaon
Facebook as a company is true startup goals for everyone. From the inspiring story of Mark Zuckerberg to all the swanky offices and crazy perks that the employees get, youngsters get starry eyed with the mention of Facebook as a company. The company's Menlo Park office in San Francisco is the world's biggest open plan office space. Facebook has opened 3 offices in India in the recent years. The Facebook office in India follows similar layouts and perks as of their American counterpart. Let's have a look at the Facebook Offices in India:
Hyderabad Facebook Office in India
Facebook's Hyderabad office was the first one to be started in India. The office was opened in March of 2012 under the leadership of Kirthiga Reddy, Facebook MD India. It had introduced the Open office layout in the country. The example was set, and being followed by most offices today. The coworking concept is also a lot inspired by the open layout office plans of Silicon Valley. The Hyderabad office of Facebook is swanky, contemporary and huge! Have a look at the Hyderabad Facebook office pictures below:
The Hyderabad office was a stepping stone towards open layout offices in India. Most coworking spaces and startup offices are now designed the same way.
Mumbai Facebook Office in India
The 2nd office of Facebook was inaugurated in Mumbai in 2016. It is situated in BKC area of Mumbai. The offices represent the same open office layout that Facebook follows. Let's have a look at some pictures of the Mumbai Office of Facebook:
The office is very arty and highlights the creativity that Mumbai stands for. This painting represents the Worli Sea Link of Mumbai.
And here is an insta-booth within the Facebook office's canteen. This area for sure looks like an insta-perfect picture!
The walls also have Indian-ness to them!
And well, it's all about being bold and working collaboratively.
The Mumbai office represents Indianness, creativity, boldness and the ethics that Facebook follows. This office has been created as a symbol of creativity and collaborative working. Facebook offices are always open plan and encourage team work. Facebook's India offices are no exception and thus represent open culture at its best.
You might want to watch this video by IndianExpress that is a virtual tour of the Mumbai Facebook Office in India:
Gurgaon Facebook Office in India
Facebook's latest office space in India was opened in Gurgaon in July 2016. This one is also very creative, fun and gives all the perks that Facebook employees enjoy internationally. The offices are made to represent the Indianness, creativity and the ethics that Facebook follows as a company. Let's have a look at Facebook Gurgaon office pictures:
There is a Facebook icon on the wall with all the colours representing vibrant India.
This picture of moving cars represents the fast paced work culture of Facebook. This could also represent Gurgaon traffic though 😉
Also, the Facebook employees get to wear these cool Indianised emoji tees.
The customary facebook wall which is present at every Facebook office in the world.
Here were some pictures of the swanky Facebook Offices in India. While some tech companies are switching to Coworking Spaces for their smaller teams, Facebook being a huge corporation prefers to make its own workplaces or campuses. And why not? It is the biggest social network of the world!

This is the infamous Van Coke Kartel... I'm not actually the greatest fan... but I did enjoy their performance and think the BASE guitarist has got that 'true-rockstar-at-heart' thing about him. i.o.w. he is an absolute mad man on stage.
Their performance really impressed me, and so did Fokofs. I have heard them live a number of times, but something magical came together on stage for them this weekend. Although i did camp right next door to them, which meant i got to shake their hands and say hi, but that was where the bonus points ended.
They are true party animals and kept everyone up until day break! thank god i remembered to buy ear plugs this time - as hardened festival goers learn!
Although they can't take all the blame. Some Afrikaans muzo who probably had his first music video on MK (our local music channel on DSTV- for those of you who don't know) and reckons he is the next best thing, was playing his own CD on repeat out of his car. Seriously! How sad... I actually saw his music video this past weekend... and felt even sadder for him.. no names mentioned!
Otherwise the entire festival was a blast :)

Showdown Over Language
The battle over bilingual education erupted Wednesday in Arizona with an angry protest over a California-like initiative to abolish the program.
Nearly 100 demonstrators shouted and pressed members of English for the Children of Arizona against a wall in Tucson as the group launched a signature campaign to place its ban on the November 2000 general election ballot.
Accompanied by Ron Unz, the leader of California's recent law against bilingual education, more than a dozen members of English for the Children registered the initiative later Wednesday with the Secretary of State's Office in Phoenix.
While raising funds for the Arizona effort, Unz said that Colorado and Massachusetts are possible future targets of initiatives against bilingual education and that he is lobbying the New York Legislature for a ban as well.
At least one leader of the pro-initiative group said he felt threatened by opponents in Tucson.
"We were practically attacked by a mob," said Hector Ayala, an English teacher at Tucson's Cholla High School and a founder of the Arizona initiative. "But I don't think there is one Mexican immigrant who disagrees with us."
The pro-initiative group held a news conference at El Rio Neighborhood Center in a west-side Hispanic community, where initiative leader Maria Mendoza said the jeers and opposition were expected.
If 101,762 valid voter signatures are gathered by July 6, 2000, and the voters approve, the initiative would reverse Arizona's bilingual-education law. Instead of teaching English-deficient students in their native language, they would be immersed in English.
Some supporters of bilingual education say English immersion would rob students of their cultural heritage. But Ayala said the bilingual system robs them of their economic future in an English-speaking country.
"They will learn English by doing things in English at school," he said. "They can eat enchiladas and menudo at home."
But Hank Oyama, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who joined the pro-bilingual protesters Wednesday, urged Arizonans to heed Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a bilingual education proponent whom he said has told Unz that he is not needed in Arizona.
McCain introduced a resolution in Congress supporting learning English in addition to the language of the home, viewing it as in the national interest to develop more bilingual Americans, he said.
"We consider it an insult when people come and imply that being bilingual is somehow not quite American," Oyama added.
Several initiative supporters, however, complained of frustration in attempts to withdraw their children from bilingual classes in Tucson and the Valley. More than $70 million is spent on the state's 94,000 limited-English students every year, and districts do not want to lose the money, critics say.
"It legally segregates them, and it legally leaves them uneducated, so the schools can bring in federal money for these children," Mendoza said. "That's what this is about."
At least one Valley parent agreed.
"We've been having a lot of problems with the Glendale Elementary program," said Norma Alvarez of Glendale. "It's been a disaster for our kids. They're not learning.
"If your name is Alvarez, you're in bilingual classes. They don't test you. It's your last name that gets you in. They stay until the eighth grade."
Pam Santesteban, acting superintendent at the Glendale Elementary School District, accepted the criticism.
"We have two dozen or more different language groups," she said. "We're constantly seeking interpreters. It's like the United Nations."
While the activists gather signatures, lawmakers are introducing bilingual-education reform bills, and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Lisa Graham Keegan is trying to mediate the heated discussion.
Rep. Laura Knaperek, R-Tempe, wants a three-year limit on bilingual classes for any student. Sen. Joe Eddie Lopez, D-south Phoenix, says no limit is needed. His bill would provide $1 million to improve the skills of bilingual teachers.
Keegan said she shares many of the concerns of English for the Children of Arizona. But she worries that an initiative and election campaign to change bilingual education could turn racist and nationalist.
She admits that her office has failed to supervise bilingual programs. The Department of Education did not even submit the required annual reports to the Legislature for several years before 1996-97.
That latest report showed that fewer than 3 percent of bilingual students were moving out of the program and into mainstream classes taught in English.
"They're languishing," Keegan said. "It's a mess. We're part of that mess. I was at fault."
Keegan promised a comprehensive report on bilingual education in the next few months and a recommendation to lawmakers by the end of January. She has been meeting with a community advisory group for several weeks.
She predicted that the initiative will appear on the ballot and that Arizona voters will approve it.

NO. R-253. House concurrent resolution congratulating Burr and Burton Academy on its 175th anniversary.
Offered by: Representatives Livingston of Manchester, Hube of Londonderry, Komline of Dorset and Molloy of Arlington.
Offered by: Senator Sears of Bennington District and Senator Shepard of Bennington District.
Whereas, in 1828, Joseph Burr, a wealthy merchant residing in Manchester, bequeathed the sum of $10,000.00 "as a permanent fund for the promotion of education in the village of said Manchester," and
Whereas, in order to implement his bequest, the General Assembly enacted Act 40 of the laws of 1829, a charter establishing in Manchester "an academy, to be known and designated by the name of The Burr Seminary," and
Whereas, on November 28, 1832, the original limestone building, whose appearance resulted in the seminary being referred to as the "Castle in the Pasture," was finished at the base of Mt. Equinox, and the first class was held on May 15, 1833, and
Whereas, the seminary admitted 16 female students in 1849, largely due to the efforts of faculty member James H. Burnham, and, in 1855, the trustees, recognizing the desire of founding trustee Josiah K. Burton that women be educated, granted female students equal status with their male counterparts, and
Whereas, in 1860, the school's name was changed to Burr and Burton Seminary in honor of Josiah K. Burton, and
Whereas, Burr and Burton Academy, the name having been changed in 1999 to reflect more accurately the school's mission, has developed an outstanding reputation as a leading independent secondary school committed to providing the highest quality education to students of all backgrounds by instilling in its students a lifelong love of learning, and
Whereas, youngsters from the towns of Manchester, Dorset, Landgrove, Mt. Tabor, Peru, Sunderland, Londonderry, Stratton, Weston, and Winhall are extremely fortunate to reside in communities that send their high school students to Burr and Burton Academy, and
Whereas, a commemorative historical monograph, "The Castle in the Pasture," has been written, and a book presentation party was held at the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester on May 19, and
Whereas, on March 8, the Campaign for Burr and Burton was the recipient of a $5 million anonymous gift, the most generous in the school's history, and
Whereas, the new 22,500‑square‑foot multipurpose Rowland Center, part of the school's effort to be prepared for the future, was constructed in the limestone motif of the original school building and was dedicated on May 20, and
Whereas, the continuing educational vitality of Burr and Burton Academy in 2005 was recognized in the Vermont Business Roundtable's recent designation of the academy as a Gold Medallion School, and
Whereas, a celebratory gala marking the school's 175th anniversary will occur on June 4, now therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly congratulates Burr and Burton Academy on its 175th anniversary, and be it further
Resolved: That the secretary of state be directed to send a copy of this resolution to Charles W. Scranton, headmaster of Burr and Burton Academy.
The Vermont General Assembly
115 State Street
Montpelier, Vermont

August Beauty Box 5: Radiant and Remarkable/
I know I say this all the time…or maybe just once a month to all of you…but I really do love Beauty Box 5! When I know that sweet little blue box is arriving, I practically greet my mailman with the same gusto a child greets Christmas morning. Ahhh, now I know…that's what Beauty Box 5 is: Christmas for adults! With that realization, here's what I had awaiting me in the August Beauty Box 5, Radiant and Remarkable:
Novex Brazilian Keratin (1-Use Sample, $1 or $19.50 for the full size): This ultra-hydrating nourishing treatment works well with any hair type, helping to renew and reinforce strands. Massage into scalp and hair after shampooing and relax for 25 minutes before rinsing away. I plan on taking a day off this week for some quality "me time," and this is definitely on my to-do list!
Purlisse Pur Protect SPF 30 (Deluxe Sample, $18 or $55 for the full size): Anytime I'm graced with a Purlisse product, I get just a little giddy. I've used this lightweight cream before and love it. Perfect for August when my skin is borderline oily and the SPF 30 will keep me free from burns and premature aging. '
La Fresh Travel-Lite Makeup Remover Wipes (Deluxe Sample, $3.40 or $19.99 for the full size): It's hard not to be a fan of chic brand La Fresh and these handy wipes are not only great for sensitive skin, but are paraben free; and even though they're also oil-free, they easily wipe away traces of all makeup – whether on eyes, lips or face.
Style Essentials Nail Polish (from the Touch of Teal Collection, Set of 4, $7): Such a pretty shade of teal when worn alone, it's slightly iridescent. However this is a great layering polish as well. I recently wore it over a favorite brown and it instantly transformed it to a gorgeous olive-green hue perfect for autumn.
Nanacoco Lip Gloss in Lovely (Full Size, $3.99): Soooo, this was my product to obsess over this month. I'm infatuated. Literally. The color is a highly pigmented wash of fuchsia that instantly glamorizes any pout. Enriched with Vitamin E, the non-sticky formula nourishes and the smell is delicious. I've worn it alone the past few days, but it also looks fab over my Starlooks Tickle Me Pink from last month's box!
Such a perfect color for a multitude of skin tones! And…I always love the opportunity to show you colors by painting hearts on my hand♥
Total value of the August Beauty Box 5 was $27.64 for a savings of between $15.64 and $19.39!
New members can sign up for Beauty Box 5 three different ways:
- By the Month – $12/Box
- By the Quarter – $30/3 Boxes ($10/Box)
- By the Year – $99/12 Boxes ($8.25/Box)
Hope you're all loving Beauty Box 5 as much as I am!
**I'm so fortunate to be a Beauty Contributor for Beauty Box 5 and as such, did receive a complimentary August Beauty Box 5 to review. Opinions my own.

Most income investors are familiar with the strategy of selling calls on stock owned, for additional income. If the call expires worthless, the realized call sale income adds to the dividend income, assuming the stock is a dividend-paying stock, boosting the overall return. If the option is assigned, and the stock must be delivered to the option buyer, the call seller is "covered", by virtue of already owning the shares that must be supplied. The only downside is that the call seller will forgo any gains in excess of the call's strike price. Frequently, in the case of early exercise, the seller will also lose out on a dividend that was expected, as an alert option holder exercises the option just before the ex-dividend date, thereby "stealing the dividend", forcing the shares to be sold via assignment.
The preceding introductory paragraph was copied verbatim (mostly) from my recent article on selling cash-covered puts, as I contrasted that strategy with selling covered calls. While it provides a reasonable overview, it does not provide much detail as to the results that can be obtained with the strategy. To do that, I have analyzed in depth some of my own experiences in selling covered calls, to get to the real truth in answering two key questions:
- What is a typical total return when selling covered calls on a dividend stock over a time period?
- How does that compare with what the return would have been if everything had been the same, except that no calls had been sold?
It wasn't easy, but I'm satisfied that I have come up with some answers that should prove interesting to any investor following this common practice.
The total return when selling calls on a dividend stock over a time period is comprised of three components: capital gain / loss on the stock sale, real or hypothetical, actual dividends collected, and gains / losses on options sold and, when applicable, bought back. I am defining these two major scenarios as "yes options" and "no options". Of course, for the "no options" scenarios, the third component is zero, so there are only two components. The first challenge in the analysis was to define the appropriate time frame for comparison purposes. I have decided that the time period should start with the date that the first call option was sold, and should extend through the end of the day that the last option expired, or was assigned. The dividends collected will be identical under all scenarios, and will only include those for which the ex-dividend dates occurred on or after the day that the first option was sold, and before the day that the stock was assigned, or theoretically sold.
Now comes the tricky part. Since I had owned the stocks for some time before selling options, I decided I needed to consider two scenarios for defining the cost basis of the stocks: the first scenario will consider the actual purchase costs, and the second scenario will consider a hypothetical purchase cost, at the price that prevailed, to the minute, when the initial option was sold. For the "yes options" sale prices, I used the strike price of the last option sold if the shares were assigned, which was in fact the price at which shares were sold, or if the option was not assigned, I used the stock's closing price on the option expiration day. For the "no options" sale price scenarios, I just used the closing price on the last day of the comparison time period, which was the day the last option was either assigned or expired under the "yes options" scenarios.
I will grant that this is a little messy, but sometimes getting at the truth takes some effort. I believe it will be easier for the reader to visualize after inspecting the tables of all relevant data, to be presented shortly. To make every effort to get to the real numbers, I have included commissions in all of the calculations, either actual commissions, or, in the cases of hypothetical buys and sells, estimated commissions. Further, in the case of the foreign stock example, the dividends shown are net of foreign tax withholding. All transactions took place in IRAs, so there were no tax considerations. I considered three stocks I have sold multiple calls against, for periods of a year or more, with varying results, to illustrate a range of possibilities.
The stocks are:
Unilever (NYSE:UN) - This case represents the ideal situation, with multiple call sales, no assignments, and a stock price that has stayed in a range for the entire period.
First Energy (NYSE:FE) - This case is also favorable, with no "dividend-stealing" early assignments, just an option expiration assignment, with a closing price on the expiration day of the last option sold only 86 cents above the strike, not a huge amount. The option could have been bought back before the end of the day to avoid assignment, but I chose to let the shares go, planning to buy them back later upon a decline.
NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE:NS) - This case represents the scenario that a covered call seller knows is possible, but hopes never happens; after selling the call, the stock shoots on up significantly above the call strike, and the stock is called away via an early assignment. Still, even though a much larger gain was forfeited, it is not the end of the world. The results of owning the stock, all components considered, was still a reasonable profit. It just doesn't seem like enough when the forfeited gain is considered. If you are going to be a member of this club, sometimes you just have to pay your dues.
I will update the reader at the end of this article, outlining subsequent actions I have taken regarding these three stocks, and my current positions.
The details of all actual and hypothetical transactions for each scenario, for all three stocks, are shown in the first table. The returns for each stock are shown in additional tables, one per stock. Shown are the returns, in total, and by component, so it can be clearly seen what the impact was on the total return of each component: capital gains, cumulative dividends over the period, and net proceeds from covered call sales. Returns are shown for the complete time periods, and also are shown as annualized values. The returns are shown in one cost-basis scenario using the actual cost of shares, including commissions, and then under a second cost basis scenario, as if the stock had been purchased concurrently as the first option was sold. Sales prices under the "yes options" scenarios are the assignment prices, if the shares were assigned, or the closing prices on the option expiration days, if no assignments occurred. The sales prices under the "no options" scenarios are the closing prices on the last day of the comparison period, which are the "yes options" exit days, for each case.
The results confirm that in the ideal and nearly-ideal cases, covered call selling increases returns significantly. For Unilever, the call selling income (from three calls sold) exceeded the dividend income, and for First Energy, the call selling income (from two calls sold) was nearly equal to 60% of dividend income. Only in the third case, NuStar Energy, with a significant gain forfeited, was the call selling strategy a loser. NuStar made a significant run during the period covered by the second option sold, and the shares were called away close to the peak of the run. Thus, the key to covered call selling is to avoid the huge forfeited gain scenario. To reduce the odds of that happening, one could limit selling calls to periods when stocks are elevated, ideally at or near 52-week highs, and select strike prices that are above even these levels. I believe a call seller should focus mostly on the strike price when making a decision - and should not let the call premiums drive the decision towards too low of a strike. One should select a strike far enough above the current market such that a sale would be acceptable, even desirable. Then, if the call premium available is not enough to be worthwhile, pass on that option; otherwise, put in a bid.
So, where are they now? My current status on these three stocks is as follows:
Unilever - I still have my shares, and I have sold yet another call, with expiration in August 2012, at a $35 strike. As noted in my article on foreign stocks, I now know that I should have purchased the UL shares for Unilever instead of the UN shares, to avoid the 15% tax withholding imposed by the Netherlands. I will let the shares go if assignment threatens, and buy back as UL when a buying opportunity subsequently appears.
First Energy - I successfully bought the shares back using a January 2012 near-the-money put sale, with a strike of $43, and I have since sold another covered call, with expiration in July 2012, at a $45 strike. This was the first time I had ever tried this acquisition approach, which worked, amazingly.
NuStar Energy - After being out of the stock as it remained in the stratosphere for several months, I re-purchased the stock in three increments, beginning in November 2011, and concluding in February 2012, bringing my holdings up to 100 shares, at an average cost of $55.92. As the stock has advanced above $60 in recent days, I have been attempting to sell a covered call at a strike of $65, which so far has not been filled. Based on my history with NS, I won't be dropping to a lower strike - I'll just wait it out until I either get filled, or abandon the attempt. If NS drops back down, I will pass on selling a call on NS, at least for the time being.
In conclusion, I do believe that selective covered call selling is a viable strategy, to increase returns on dividend stocks. The experience with NuStar Energy as presented was an outlier, and is not typical of what I have experienced. I included it to present a worst-case scenario, just to illustrate what can happen, not to frighten readers away from the strategy. As long as the option seller has the resources and the temperament to accept the obligations that come with being on the short side of an option contract, and is prepared to accept whatever comes, either by accepting assignment, or by purchasing back the sold option, the strategy can be used successfully to enhance returns.
Disclosure: I am long UN, FE, NS.
Additional disclosure: As noted in the article, I also have sold call options against my positions in UN and FE, and I am in the process of attempting to sell a call against my position in NS.

A Thanksgiving Funeral Address at Sion Baptist Church
A Thanksgiving Funeral Address at Sion Baptist Church 31st March 2017
"Blessed Assurance"
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
(2 Cor 4: 16 – 5: 10)
We don't want to think about death. We would rather avoid the subject. It represents perhaps our greatest fear and mystery.
Most people are not sure what to believe, or what will happen to them or where they will go. But we face all face death and we all know it...
Who or what do we believe in this day and age of "fake news"?
But there is nothing fake about God or his promises.
Doris Riley had a "Blessed Assurance." The story of her life is that Doris knew who and what to believe. This is her legacy to the family...
Doris believed God. She did, I think, what all people of faith do – she kept her eyes fixed on the unseen, the lasting and the eternal. It can be difficult to keep such focus. With God's help Doris did this since her baptism, 77 years before.
And so, as a Christian, Doris looked forward to death – it held few fears for her in the end.
So Doris – her body on earth – her heart, often longing for home...
Her creaking earthly tent (body) has been taken down and folded away and is, by now, replaced by a Resurrection body. Where? In heaven.
This life is just a "foretaste of glory divine."
Death, for the woman of faith, is only the departure of soul and spirit to be with the LORD.
And how did she know this? This Blessed Assurance?
5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
The Spirit lives in Christians and guarantees their future.
There is nothing fake about God or his promises.
Doris faced death as she had faced life – with God and trusting God, with all her joys and sorrows, accomplishments and mistakes...
Because she trusted God in the Saviour, Jesus Christ...
Because she knew she was a sinner saved by grace from (and through) the cross of Christ, Doris will be able to face the final judgment with confidence.
That's "Blessed Assurance!"
It is a judgment – believe it or not – every one of us will have to face.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
He alone will determine where and how we spend eternity. It won't be decided by us, or by our lives or by how good we thought we were...
As her last earthly words showed - "I'm waiting for the LORD to take me – he'll look after me..."
– Doris knew a "Blessed Assurance." The family and her friends can, and should, take great comfort from this.
Her prayer and mine...
That you would know it too, this - "Blessed Assurance."
Address by Reverend M.M.Faris-Robertson

I would like to publicly apologize to the driver of the green SUV, UT plate # Z21 6JF for forcing you across the double yellow line as you passed me climbing the overpass heading into Spanish Fork. I am sorry for the fear that you experienced by not being able to see oncoming traffic because of the crest of the hill. Also, thank you for informing me that I should get off my bike and walk it if there is too much debris on the shoulder. I am so sorry for implying that if you encounter a slow moving vehicle you should slow down and wait behind it until it is safe and legal to pass. Furthermore I was unaware that you were headed to work and I was just being "egotistical and getting a workout". It was my mistake to mention that I too was going to work, hence the bag I was carrying, because as you kindly pointed out, that was irrelevant. Lastly I would like to apologize for just riding away and not bitch-slapping you back into reality, cause you clearly needed that.
A moose came through our staging area at big canyon sometime since Tuesday. Let hope he's gone.
Ran the dogs up at Big Canyon Ranch this morning. It was single digit weather when we started so the guys were super pumped to run. That is Pancho running single lead for the first time.
Saw this this morning. I wanted to get the blue sky behind the radio towers but the cloud were moving fast.
Before there is snow we get out and pull bikes around. Mohinder and Poncho won the Park City race and the Cache Valley race. They are going to Colorado this weekend to race some of the fast dogs out there. Hopefully these young guys can have a good showing.
Results from the Utah races should be up eventually at UtahPawPower.com and CacheValleymushers.com and here
