This week, I had the pleasure of dishing about team snacks with Eileen Whelan on WJLA's "Good Morning, Washington" show.
Whether your child is playing soccer, baseball or basketball, team snacks are bound to appear after every game. Snacks are not inherently bad… in fact, snack time allows another opportunity to get more healthful nutrients in our diet. The problem is–if you've seen team snacks lately–most team snacks do not contain much (if any) real nutrient value.
If you cringe every time your kid comes running over with his or her snack, try whipping up some of these TASTY + EASY snack ideas I shared on WJLA when it's your turn to supply the post-game goods. I promise… they're delicious and nutritious. Plus, they contain nutrients that many kids tend to be deficient in, such as protein, essential fatty acids (like DHA), iron, vitamin D, vitamin C and dietary fiber.
Frozen grapes + cheese stick = Grapes are rich in water (hydration!), vitamin C (for immune system), potassium (for healthy blood pressure), and antioxidants. Cheese is a protein that is rich in calcium (for healthy bones). Put in a plastic cup or snack baggie.
Power-packed trail mix = Trail mix combinations are endless and you can mix-and-match to meet teammates' dietary needs. Combine a little nuts or seeds (stick with sunflower and pumpkin seeds if some one has tree nut or peanut allergies or if you're not sure) + dried fruit (contains iron) + whole grain or gluten-free cereal or pretzels + a few dark chocolate chips.
Parmesan popcorn = Popcorn is a great gluten-free whole grain. You can throw kernels in a brown paper lunch sack and microwave until popped and drizzle with a little olive oil and parmesan cheese. Or, just pick up a couple of bags of popcorn with only olive oil and a little salt. Serve in snack baggies or small plastic cups. Popcorn is an easy way to get dietary fiber in a child's diet.
Fruit kabobs = Fruit is brimming with so many beneficial nutrients, like vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin A (good for eyes, skin and bones) and antioxidants. The list goes on. Stick some fruit on a skewer or long tooth pick and serve with a cheese wedge or yogurt stick. Plus, fruit is a great way to keep kids hydrated after a game.
Sweet tuna cups w/ crackers = Tuna is a great source of protein, which is important for growing and recovering muscles. Plus, tuna contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which kids tend to get too little of in their diets. Mix a pouch of tuna, sliced grapes and sunflower seeds with some Greek yogurt or mayonnaise. Serve in a small cup with whole grain crackers or pretzels.
Edamame cups = Edamame or soy beans are fun to eat. Plus, edamame is a protein-rich foods that is rich in dietary fiber, as well. Serve in little cups or baggies.
Brown rice krisp treats = Mix gluten-free brown rice krisp cereal w/ peanut butter, SunButter or soy butter, honey and cinnamon. Place in baking pan or Tupperware and cut into squares. It's that simple and that tasty. Plus, these little treats are loaded with protein and dietary fiber.
PLEASE SHARE: What are your kids' favorite team snacks? How do you make them healthy? Please share. I'd love to hear from you!

After our 99 day sprint through Lightning Lab Electric it was a huge thrill to deliver our demo day pitch to an audience of energy industry players. An accelerator programme is a fast moving, high pressure environment and (quite frankly) it's not for everyone. But for a software company breaking into another industry for the first time, having the accelerator team open doors for us was critical to success.
Accelerator programmes can be very prescriptive. But the key for us was to pick out the very best aspects of the programme that worked for our team and our project. The energy industry is huge globally but it's also a bit like a supertanker – lots of inertia and slow to change direction. This is understandable when you consider that planning timeframes for the sector can be 20-30 years. So the industry struggles to deal with agile startups where decision cycles are measured in hours, not months.
As energy generation becomes more distributed and consumers look towards renewables, energy companies know that change is coming. I guess we made a start, but there's still a long way to go before the industry fully embraces startup innovation as a way to address changing technology and customer needs. Notwithstanding this, we found a solid industry partner and have a road map for the future. The product we are working on involves aggregating commercial electricity consumption data to bundle customers and negotiate better deals with retailers. The logical progression from this involves providing a micro-retail solution. So any commercial energy user can become its own supplier, as well as offering a retail solution for its own customers. That's an exciting prospect for the future.

Graphene as a Impermeable Gas Membrane
G. Brunetto, S.B. Legoas, V.R. Coluci, L.S. Lucena, D.S. Galvao
Unicamp, BR
Keywords: graphene, membranes, nanodevices, nan- otechnology, molecular dynamics
Abstract:Recently, it was proposed that graphene sheets de- posited on silicon oxide can act as impermeable atomic membranes to standard gases, such as helium, argon, and nitrogen. It is assumed that graphene membrane is clamped over the surface due only to van der Waals forces. The leakage mechanism can be experimentally addressed only indirectly. In this work we have carried out molecular dynamics simulations to study this prob- lem. We have considered nano-containers composed of a chamber of silicon oxide filled with gas and sealed by single and multi-layer graphene membranes. The ob- tained results are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental data. We observed that the graphene membranes remain attached to the substrate for pres- sure values up to two times the largest value experi- mentally investigated. We did not observe any gas leak- age through the membrane/substrate interface until the critical limit is reached and then a sudden membrane detachment occurs.

Unregistered guest
Posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 - 12:15 pm:
I've been making terrible food decisions lately and am now suffering from a bad itchy skin rash (the original problem that started this whole thing 13 months ago!)
In hopes of clearing it up quickly, armed with all the great info I've learned in the last year, I want to go on a chicken, rice, coconut oil & sea salt diet for a few weeks.
I need to add something portable, that I have a shot of buying when on the road or at a convenience store.
Would banana be ok?
Is there an practical difference between organic and regular from a free glutamic acid perspective?
Unregistered guest
Posted on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 - 8:11 pm:
I do just fine with all brands of banana's- even Dole. However, there are some on this site that are more sensitive than me and they react to the Dole brand.

Posted on Friday, December 18, 2009 - 4:50 pm:
Mike I'm not sure about bananas for me. Since my problem is being predisposed even without FGA migraine. The list of migraine inducing foods contains bananas as well as nuts, choc., onions, apples and of course wine. I have read here not to trust Dole anything. I do have some Chiquita that I am going to try since reading that others here have done OK with them. I'll let you know. Yes on the road is so hard. I got the tuna that was listed here as safe and now keep it and Wasa crackers in my car. It is from Trader Joe's Tongal Light tuna no salt and Crown Prince no salt which someone here said they get through Amazon, I got mine at Whole Foods I tried them both and no reaction, they taste great. I keep an emergency kit in my car can opener knife fork safe salt, Choice organic white tea bags. As I leave the house I put some organic peanut butter in a container and take it with me too. I don't use bottled water anymore, I bring my own in a stainless bottle. When I go to a party I make the organic tea, put sugar or honey in it put it on ice in a pretty glass and just drink along with everyone else, no one knows so they don't feel sorry for me and make an issue of it. PS I remember a lot more about parties that I attend than most. Good luck Mariann

What We Do and Our Most Active Work Site Areas
The Magnuson Environmental Stewardship Alliance has been working at improving Seattle's Warren G. Magnuson Park for nearly two decades. Our work has included obtaining and administering large grants, participating in park development planning, serving on park project advisory teams and committees, leading countless work parties, individual stewardship on areas, and more. Each year we provide and install many plants at Magnuson and also provide about $70,000 or more worth of volunteer labor for site preparation, maintenance, planting, and other work.
The outcome of the work gives people places to experience and enjoy the physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits of being close to nature without need to leave the city and also provides other ecosystem services such as wildlife habitat, air and water cleansing, temperature moderation, storm water flow reduction, and a small amount of carbon sequestration.
Magnuson Vegetation Management Plan
and park policy guide our work.
Our work locations have ranged from Sand Point Way NE to the Lake Washington Shore and from the north to south property lines, Our most noticeable work has been in the Promontory Point, Forest Remnant Zone, Native Plant Border, and Sand Point Head (also known as Kite Hill) areas. Status of sites within these zones can be found on the

Sarika looks in the challenges of Differently Abled or Special Needs children. She tells us how to identify such a child and details what schools must do. Here's a detailed guideline.
"Children with disabilities are like butterflies with a broken wing. They are as beautiful as all the rest but, need a little help spreading their wings!" ~ Support Cerebral Palsy Awareness.
A physical impairment might be defined as a disabling condition or other health impairment that requires adaptation. Persons with physical impairment disabilities often use assertive devices such as crutches, canes, wheelchairs and artificial limbs to obtain mobility.
In physical disability the person experiences may be either congenital or a result of injury muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, amputation, multiple sclerosis, pulmonary disease, heart disease or other reasons. Some persons may experience non-visible disabilities that may include respiratory disorders, epilepsy or other conditions.
NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) defines physical impairment as a limitation in independently, purposeful physical movement of the body or of one or more extremities. According to them, the alteration in the person's mobility may be either temporary, or more permanent. Most of the diseases and rehabilitative starts involved in physical and mobility impairments do involve a degree of immobility. These are often associated with things such as leg fractures, strokes, morbid obesity, trauma, and multiple sclerosis.
In one sentence, physical impairment is a permanent significant reduction in the ability to move or coordinate movements.
Some children with a physical disability may have no special educational needs, whilst others might need considerate provisions to access the curriculum.
Some pupils with a physical disability may have additional
- Sensory impairments
- Communication difficulties
- Learning difficulties
- Learning disabilities
- Other conditions such as epilepsy
Physical disabilities can be caused by a range of factors, such as:
- Development before birth (e.g. spina bifida)
- Genetic factors (e.g. muscular dystrophy )
- Some infections and illnesses ( e.g. meningitis)
- Some injuries (e.g. brain or spinal cord injuries ) Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects a person's:
- Posture
- Movement
- Coordination
There are many different types and degrees of cerebral palsy and individuals are affected in many different ways. Cerebral palsy does not get worse over time, if children are supported from an early age and given appropriate therapies.
How to know if a child has physical difficulties?
Early detection of a special needs child is of utmost importance. Parents, particularly mothers, must look for the following signs, carefully:
- Unusual postures
- Difficulties with mobility
- Difficulties with muscle control
- Muscle spasms or shaking
- Limp muscles or limbs
- Difficulties with coordination
- Poor fine motor skills
- Difficulties judging distances and space
- Difficulties moving around obstacles
- Poor body awareness and hand eye coordination
- Constantly holding or leaning on walls, tables, or chairs
- Repetitive body movements
- Extreme fatigue after some physical activities
Supporting Physically Impaired Children in Schools
The majority of physical impaired children are educated in mainstream schools. Physically impaired children may need support in this setting to ensure that they are fully included in their school communities and reach their full potential.
There are many different types of equipment to help with mobility including
- Walking sticks, walking frames, and elbow crutches
- Orthoses
- Upper limb splints
- Plaster casts
- Wheelchairs
It's important to remember that children, who do not use mobility equipment, may still have difficulties with mobility and benefit from other provisions. For example:
- Some children may have difficulties walking up stairs and may benefit from handrails.
- Some children may have difficulties walking on uneven or inclined surfaces and benefit from improved walking paths, or assistance when walking in particular areas.
- Some children may have difficulties walking in crowded environments and may benefit from supervision or assistance moving between classes, or from being allowed to move between classes at a different time to the majority of children.
- Some children may walk relatively slowly and need extra time to move between classes.
And for fine motor skills following steps should be taken:
Complete fine motor tasks with child observing which hand he uses. Stop whenever we see frustration. Try another fine motor activity or begin again the next day.
- Toothpick construction
- Nail and hammer
- Art with finger paint
- Art with shaving cream
- Art with pudding
- Squeeze-balls, lemons, water bottles
- Sew-needle and thread-sewing cards
- Straight pin pick up-put into cushion
- Locks and keys
- Count kernels and popcorn
- Zip
- Play dough
(Source: Internet)
Schools should make reasonable adaptations to classrooms and other areas of the school. They receive funding that reflects the special educational needs of pupils. Extra help with funding is sometimes available for larger projects that alter the physical features of the school, such as improving wheelchair access, installing wheelchair ramps, and installing special toilets.
Case Study
In this case Ruby is a class VIII pupil with cerebral palsy. She can walk on level surfaces without assistance, but has difficulties walking on uneven land and climbing stairs. She has some difficulties with fine motor control, muscle spasms and communication problems.
Ruby is a very intelligent, friendly, and social. She enjoys listening music, spending time with her friends reading, swimming.
So, here now we will discuss how range of supports and facilities she will get, so that she can promote her educational development at school.
Ruby has difficulties with spatial awareness (difficulty in moving around obstacles, reduced body awareness). She and others like her may be supported in class by ensuring they maintain a good seated posture and are given plenty of space.
Like Ruby, some children with physical disabilities, may have difficulties with speech and benefit from the use of alternative or augmentative forms of communication (AAC). These forms of communications are such that these replace or support verbal communication. AAC also includes:
- Specialist computers and software
- Communication boards
- Sign languages
Some types of AAC may also be used by children without speech difficulties, but those who have difficulties with fine motor skills that affect their ability to write and read.
Fatigue Management at School
- Avoid or minimise activities that may cause fatigue like walking up stairs, talking, or writing.
- Apply interventions at times of fatigue.
Support from other professionals like:
- Physiotherapists
- Occupational therapists
- Speech and language therapists
Physiotherapists often play a key role in helping children with physical disabilities manage and develop their physical skills. They can help children to find the best ways of using their bodies, and promote physical development through techniques such as exercise, manipulation and massage.
Occupational therapists often help children with physical disabilities to be fully included at school. They can provide advice on physical changes that may be needed at school, and on specialist furniture or equipment.
Speech and language therapists often help children with physical disabilities who also have difficulties with speech and communication. They can help a child to find the best ways of communicating and to develop speech skills through exercises.
Effective Partnership
It's essential that professionals working with physically impaired children work in an effective partnership with each other and with the parents or careers of the child. This partnership should include:
- Regular communication and information sharing
- Joint planning and evaluation
- Clear understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities
This will help to ensure that everyone is aware of the individual needs and progress of the child and that consistent, effective support is given.
A range of professionals may belong to a partnership, including teaching assistants, teachers, a SENCO, doctors, community nurses, a speech and language therapist or an occupational therapists or physiotherapist.

The deepest darkness is the gateway to understanding.
(Tao Te Ching)
I was making a thing last night, and I'm not really happy with it. And I was thinking about it was afterward…and it struck me as odd that I wasn't thinking about it during.
I thought about it before. Planning the light, writing out the text overlay.
Here is the thing, by the way. I don't know what's not right about it (if I did, I could fix it).
So what do you think about when you're making things? (Photography, art, crochet, writing, everything counts.) Anything? Nothing?

Delhi Belly will reportedly be remade for the Tamil cinema market.
According to Mumbai Mirror, a number of South Indian filmmakers have contacted producer Aamir Khan about buying the rights to the hit comedy.
Bollywood editor for BBC Publishing Ashanti Omkar told Digital Spy: "The runaway success of Delhi Belly the world over has sprung many creative ideas in the Indian film fraternity as a whole."
Delhi Belly, which stars Imran Khan, has defied the expectations of trade analysts in the revenue it has generated since opening last Friday.
"The idea of such a film having a Tamil version is exciting, as it is with any other Southern language, as this type of cinema has worked there," said Omkar. "A director like Venkat Prabhu, who made a film like Saroja or Chennai 60028 and Goa, can do justice to a remake."
Producers Khan and UTV are also said to be considering remaking the film themselves with Tamil actors, as well as working on a sequel to the original movie.
Although Delhi Belly is primarily an English-language film, a dubbed Hindi print is also on release in domestic markets.


text: With the recent storms ripping through the South, take a moment and put yourself in the role of having to respond to such massive devastation as the folks down there have found. When looking at news reports, think about how damaged the building is; light, medium, heavy? What type of resources might be available? Do i have enough materials in my bag to effect rescue or set up triage? Pretty much every item we talk about in class (minus the terrorism parts) is something responders are looking at right now. So, trained CERT members, if it were you, how would you handle things?

The August 2008 events in South Ossetia did more than just interrupt Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's trip to the Beijing Olympics. They ushered in a new low in Russian-American relations, perhaps the worst in the post-Cold War era. Reverberations were major and felt both regionally and globally – the conflict catalyzed (practically within hours) Poland's agreement to host a US-run ballistic missile defense system; European leaders led by French President Sarkozy entered into frantic diplomatic efforts to end the crisis; the Russian Parliament (and then Nicaragua) recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states.
Through this all, reactions have been quite polarized, if one compares those generally found in the West and those from Russia. In Moscow and indeed throughout Russia there has been almost universal, even emotional, support of the steps taken by the Russian government. The contrast could not be starker with Western attitudes toward the crisis. Why is this, and what is behind the Russian thinking on these matters? Why do they consider themselves so justified in acting as they did and continue to do? Is there any common ground at all in the positions of both sides?
Here at East View, the war in Georgia presents a perfect occasion for us to do our job and live up to the raison d'être we have maintained throughout the nearly 20 years of our existence. As our name suggests, we are concerned with making available key source materials from the "East," traditionally from Russia, but these days from a much larger geographic region – essentially from everywhere that does not consider itself the "West."
So our staff has worked rapidly to produce what may be the first book-length treatment on the subject in the aftermath of the war, and in doing so we have drawn directly from key publications that we have either long-published as English-language editions or otherwise monitored and distributed. This is what has allowed us to put this publication together so quickly. Our hope is that it can be useful in making Russian views on this long-developing crisis more accessible to interested outsiders. We think that's important. As strongly as someone outside of Russia may feel about any aspect of these matters, it nonetheless is essential, in our opinion, to try to see things from the perspective of all sides, including the Russian or "East" view in this case.
The present publication, Countdown to War in Georgia: Russia's Foreign Policy and Media Coverage of the Conflict in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, covers the period from 1989, when tensions in South Ossetia began to boil over as Gorbachev relaxed the iron fist of Soviet control, to late August of 2008, when the situation degraded to open warfare and an entirely new situation presented itself.
The articles in this book come from three different sources. Part One includes newspaper articles published in English in The Current Digest of the Post-Soviet Press. These have been carefully translated without commentary from the original Russian newspaper articles. In some cases, these articles have been condensed or excerpted for the sake of brevity or to avoid repetition with other articles on the same subject. Any material cut from these articles is indicated by the use of ellipses. Each article is followed by the volume, issue number, date and page(s) of the Current Digest issue in which it appeared.
Part Two includes articles that were originally translated into English and published in the journals International Affairs and Military Thought. These articles provide commentary from Russian foreign policy elite and military experts on foreign policy, security issues and peacekeeping operations in Georgia and the Caucasus. The translations of these articles have been revised for the purposes of this book.
The Appendix to the book includes photographs of key political figures involved in these events, as well as an index.
I would like to express our appreciation to the many people who contributed to this book. The team at East View deserves much credit, especially Dima Frangulov, Ana Niedermaier, Len Hoffman, Jessica Brau, Xenia Grushetsky, Elizabeth Squires, Barb Volker and Nick Nazarenko. I am also very grateful to Deborah Hunter, Gordon Livermore, Anne Mills and Leslie Scott for their assistance in press selections, editing, translation and other production work.
Special thanks are due to our partners in Russia, the publishers and editors of the newspapers and journals listed below, for their permission to translate and reprint the relevant articles from their publications.

"An invaluable compendium that makes for stimulating reading, not only because of the blow-by-blow coverage of the conflict, but because the analyses of it are paradoxically clear and informed while also written as history's first draft, thus reflecting the misinformation and conflicting versions of things that represented the actual information context in which the actors themselves had to make decisions."
--- Michael Urban, Professor of Politics, University of California-Santa Cruz
"A country not always on the headline of the news is being torn apart. "Countdown to War in Georgia: Russia's Foreign Policy and Media Coverage of the Conflict in South Ossetia and Abkhazia" is a look at this former Soviet state's problems and conflicts since the dissolution of the Soviet Union nearly twenty years ago. Covering the spiral of the conflict from 1989 to 2008, it focuses heavily on the major events, with much commentary throughout further explaining the significance of each event and its impact on the conflict today. With heavy emphasis on Russia's involvement and how it may ultimately be up to Russia to stop the chaos or end it quickly, "Countdown to War in Georgia" has several commentaries from Russian military as well as their foreign affairs experts. A complete and comprehensive guide to Georgia's problems, "Countdown to War in Georgia" is a must read to any who want a complete understanding of this civil conflict."
--- Midwest Book Review, Small Press Bookwatch: March 2009
The August 2008 events in South Ossetia ushered in a new low in Russian-American relations and forced the rest of the world to reevaluate how they view Russia and their policies toward it. While world opinion, especially in the West, tended to take a negative view of Russia's actions, throughout Russia there has been almost universal, even emotional support of the steps taken by the Russian government. Why is this, and what is behind the Russian thinking on these matters? Why do they consider themselves so justified in acting as they did and continue to do?
Countdown to War in Georgia sheds light on these important questions by providing in-depth coverage of Russian perspectives on this long-developing crisis. Covering the period from 1989 to late August 2008, this book includes articles from some of the most widely read newspapers and foreign policy and security publications in the Russian Federation today.
The first section of the book includes hundreds of Russian newspaper articles originally translated into English and published in The Current Digest of the (Post-)Soviet Press. The second section includes articles on foreign policy, security issues and peacekeeping operations originally translated into English and published in the journals International Affairs and Military Thought. All of these articles have been carefully translated from the original Russian and presented without commentary in order to render an accurate picture of Russian views and policy regarding the Caucasus.
This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in gaining a perspective on these events other than those seen in the Western media, and is also an important tool for understanding Russia's overall policy toward Georgia and the West.
Includes an index, two maps of the region and photographs of key political figures.

Witness to the journeys
As an integration group leader for Quest 2 I am honored to be a witness to the journeys of so many thoughtful seekers. In my leadership role, I am learning patience and to trust that each participant will unfold in his or her own way and time. The chance to participate in all of the Quest retreats, classes and groups has allowed me to continue my own unfolding as well.
In a discussion at our last retreat we talked in my small group about how things like gratitude and open-heartedness cannot be forced. However, I believe that spiritual practices help us open to recognizing and receiving the many gifts of grace that are waiting to bless us. In Quest we cultivate the ground, trusting that the seeds will sprout and flourish when the time is right.

*note* This thread spawned from What is marriage? - APOK
OK< Apok, one issue at a time. Had you been church goin' and down in the Bible belt back when those darned liberals up in Washington were tryin' to defy God's word and Let innocent lil' white girls marry out of their God ordained race, you would have heard the following scripture cited:
God tells us in Acts 17:26 "And He has made from one (blood) every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings."
Both in Adam and Eve and Noah and his wife God performed the miracle of placing in them the genes to produce after a few short generations all the various races of man - black, yellow and white, for each to reproduce after their own variety after that. Just as God has created flowers of every kind so too does God love wonderous variety in mankind.
Ham and Japheth did not intermarry with another race. They were non-white to begin with and married women of their own race.
We know that Nehemiah broke up marriages between Israelites and Gentiles, presumably claiming that they were never legal to begin with and not a legitimate marriage because they were forbidden to marry Gentiles (Deut 7).
Deut 32:8 (from the time of Adam God separated the races)
Acts 17:26 (here is another scripture showing that God segregated the races)
Gen 6:2, 9
Gen 11:4-8; 10:5, 25, 32
Gen 24:3; 26:34-35; 27:46; 28:1, 8-9 (race was obviously the reason for this opposition to such marriages)
Lev 19:19 (even cattle should not mix)
Deut 22:9 (even the seeds should not be mixed)
Deut 7:1-5
Ezra 9:1-3, 11-12; 10:1-3, 10-11, 16-17, 44 (mixing is condemned)
Neh 7:64; 10:28-30; 13:1-3, 23-30 (mixing is condemned)
Ex 23:31-33; 34:16; 33:51-55; Jos13:13; 15:14, 63; 16:10; 17:18; 23:11-13; Jud 1:19-21, 28-36; 2:1-5; 3:5-7; IKings 11:1-2; Prov 2:16; 5:3, 20; 6:24; 7:5; Ps 106:34-35 (these scriptures prove that Israel was told to push out other peoples from Israel?s lands for racial and religious reasons); Ezek 34:11
Is 5:1-7; Jer 2:19-23; Hos 5:1, 7; Hos 7:8-9
Num 1:18 (they were concerned about their pedigrees and ancestry. See IChron 2-4 and Gen 14:13).
Ex 12:38; Num 11:4-5; Neh 13:3; Jer 10:2. See also Jos 23:13; Jude 2:3; Ezek 28:24; Num 33:55
Ex 1:11; 8:22; Lev 20:24 (Geographical integration in Egypt led to racial discrimination)
Gen 16:1-3 (Abram sinned by having a concubine); Num 12:1 (IF she was racially and not nationally a Cu****e, Moses sinned and later repented by marrying a White Midianitess)
Ruth 1:1-5, 12, 15; Matt 1:5; Ruth 3:1-9; 4:13 (combining all these scriptures we find that Naomi?s sons should not have married Canaanites even though they were lighter skinned in those days. Naomi advised her 2 Moabitess daughters-in-law to return to their own kind. She also was trying to pair off people who were ethnically similar). Turn to Num 21:26, 29-35; 2:32-34; Deut 2:34; Jud 11:12-26 (here we have proofs that Israelites conquered Moab at one time). Now turn to Deut 23:3 and Zeph 2:9; Is 25:10 ? there is no way that Ruth was a Moabitess by race, but by geography. For instance, Cliff Richard was an Indian by geography, not by race, as are many other British. See the article The Plain Truth about Ruth near the end of this paper.
Ex 22:21 (law of treatment of strangers); 23:33 (but they must not live in Israel for any extended period. So, these strangers were to be given temporary refuge and then sent back home. See also Ezek 47:22-23).
Jer 50:16 (the races will be segregated again in the millennium)
Gen 12:11; 24:1-4, 14-16; 26:7; 24:29; 49:12; Num 12:10; Gen 28:1-2, 16; Lam 4:7; ISam 16:12; 17:42; Est 2:7; S of Solomon 5:10-11 (this proves Israel was fair-skinned)
Gen 21:21; 26:34-35; 27:46; 28:6-9; 46:10-12; IChron 2:3-4 (each time that an patriarch married outside of their stock, God mentions it in the Bible)
Dan 2:43
Ezek 30:5; Jer 25:20; 50:37; Ps 106:35; Ezra 9:2 (mixing is portrayed in a negative light). See also Is 3:8-9; Ezek 16:1-3
IChron 2:20, 23, 28, 50 (hur = white)
Ezek 23:42
Jud 14:3 (God allowed Samson to intermarry, but used the circumstances to His end. God works in mysterious ways)
Num 36:6-7 (even the tribes of Israel were not to intermarry)
Deut 28:43; Lam 5:1-2; Hos 7:4, 8; Prov 5:7-10; Is 2:6; 1:7-8.
The pulpit lost that one, just as the southern pulpit lost the slavery issue.

Who else does History Day?
Some students participate as part of history class. Others do History Day as an independent project or for extra credit. Students in schools and home schools participate. Creating a project for Vermont History Day can help you learn history and new skills!
Watch our VHD YouTube video.
What is the theme this year?
The 2018 theme is "Conflict and Compromise in History." Your project can be about Vermont history, US history or world history - but it must relate to the theme. And you should address both conflict AND compromise.
Need more info about the theme? Check out the National History Day theme page, the 2018 Theme Sheet and sample topics, or the 2018 Theme Booklet!
Can you give me an example of a topic that fits the theme?
One example of a Vermont topic that fits the theme is the controversy over the Green Mountain Parkway. In 1933, Col. William Wilgus proposed building a road that would run from Massachusetts to Canada along the peaks of the Green Mountains. You can see this map with the proposed path of the parkway at the Vermont Historical Society Library. Some people thought the road was a good idea; other people thought it was a bad idea. Exploring the arguments of the two sides would cover the "conflict" part of the theme.
What about the compromise? The construction of the parkway was very controversial. In 1935, the Vermont Senate supported funding to purchase land for the roadway. The Vermont House of Representatives opposed the funding. The legislature compromised and approved the funding – but only if voters also approved. On Town Meeting Day in 1936, Vermonters were asked to vote to support or oppose the legislature's compromise. Since there is no road on top of the Green Mountains, you might guess that Vermonters voted against the Green Mountain Parkway.
It is an interesting Vermont story, but it is also connected to the Great Depression, public works and other roads like the Blue Ridge Parkway. The bigger picture is part of the context – what was happening during the time of the conflict? You also need to look at the significance of the topic – why is this an important compromise in Vermont history?
A good History Day project includes research and analysis and investigates what happened, how things changed (or didn't change), and why this topic happened at this place and at this time. Historians examine the context of an event by looking at the time and place. A good History Day project also looks at the significance of the story and answers the question "So what?" Why is this story important to tell?
When you create a History Day project, you are the historian and you get to decide the direction of your research based on your interests and ideas. You can support your argument with evidence from primary and secondary sources. You get to explore how conflict and compromise have changed history.
What is a primary source and why do I need to use them?
Primary sources are the building blocks of history that help us know what happened in the past. The Vermont Historical Society Library has a box of primary sources that were collected by James P. Taylor, a strong supporter of the parkway. A finding aid explains what resources are in the collection. By reading these primary sources, you can learn more about what he and others said about the conflict at the time.
Secondary sources are also necessary to understand the context and significance of a topic. This article written by historian Hal Goldman provides background about the Green Mountain Club and their reaction to the Parkway. This video clip from Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie includes historians talking about the parkway and uses actors to show the controversy.
Historians – and History Day students – use both primary and secondary sources to know what happened and to develop our own interpretations of the past.
Learn more about primary sources and where to find them online.
Practice analyzing, evaluating and citing primary sources at Thinkport.org.
What are some other Vermont topics that fit the theme?
Read this list of potential Vermont topics (PDF).
Where can I go in Vermont to find primary sources?
Many museums, libraries and archives have primary sources like diaries, letters, maps and photographs. The Vermont Historical Society library and archives has a great collection of primary sources. Some of these are even available online. There are many museums and libraries in Vermont that have primary source collections (PDF).
What type of project should I do?
There are five categories for History Day projects. You should choose the category that best matches with your strengths. If you are artistic, you might want to create an exhibit or a performance. If you are good with computers, you could make a website or documentary. And if you like to write, you might want to do a research paper. All of the categories require research - and a bibliography. If you need more help deciding, see what National History Day has to say about starting a project and conducting research. You also need to decide whether you want to create an individual entry or a group entry - with a group of 2 to 5 students. (Papers must be individual projects.)
Are there rules I need to follow to create my entry?
Yes, there are rules about things like how many words can be in your exhibit (500) or how long your documentary can be (10 minutes). Click here for the official rule book. The 2014/15 rule book is the most recent. And if you want to make a website, you must create your entry using the NHD/Weebly portal.
What will judging at the Vermont History Day contest be like?
At the state contest, you will talk with two or three judges about your project. They will probably ask you questions like why did you choose your topic and what did you learn from your research. The judges will also provide feedback about your entry - which is really helpful if you qualify for National History Day. Click here for more information about what the judges will be looking for.
Can I win any prizes?
The main reason to participate in History Day is to learn! But there are some prizes. The top two entries in each category with an superior or excellent rating qualify to attend National History Day in June in College Park, Maryland. (Each category is also split into Junior and Senior divisions, so you are competing against students your own age.) There are also Special Prizes, some of which offer prize money that some students use to pay for their trip to National History Day.
Do you have any resources about creating History Day projects?
We do - and you can borrow them from our lending library. Check out the list of helpful books and videos.
Can I get some feedback or suggestions before the contest?
Yes! Come to the Student Help & Research Day on February 10 at the Vermont Historical Society Library in Barre.
What's the deadline to enter Vermont History Day?
March 13, 2018 is the registration deadline. The entry fee is $8.00 for per student. For example, the registration fee for a group of 2 is $16.00 and the fee for a group of 5 is $40.00.
Print and submit the entry form (pdf). Or use the online registration form. (Preview the questions for the online entry form.) See the Important Dates page for all the details.
If you have any more questions, contact Victoria at (802) 828-1413 or email email@example.com

by Kristin P. Sinclair – A Accu Tax – March 22, 2018
Which is best for you ? Maybe both should be part of your 2017 and 2018 retirement savings plans. With Traditional IRAs and other pre-tax retirement plans the contributions may be tax deductible in 2017 and 2018. Your earnings grow tax-deferred until you withdraw them. Normally it should be best to withdraw Traditional IRA funds in retirement when you may have less income, and therefore pay less in taxes.
Roth IRA and other post-tax retirement plans you pay the taxes on the contributions, and your earnings should grow tax-deferred or tax-exempt. Those post-tax accounts that feature tax-exempt withdrawals after age 59.5 are excellent complements to your pre-tax IRA savings.
In retirement many people find they have unplanned needs for extra cash. For example: this could be the need for a new heating and cooling system; or something much more fun like an extra vacation ! Taking that extra cash from a pre-tax IRA should increase your current year income and current year income tax obligation. A double whammy could hit if more of your Social Security income is now taxable!
Conversely, it may be more desirable to with draw that extra cash from a Roth IRA or other post-tax retirement plan. Then you should not increase your current year income and your current year tax obligation. Voila – no double whammy from making more of your Social Security taxable.
Therefore the answer may be that Traditional IRAs and pre-tax retirement accounts are best in conjunction with Roth IRAs and other post-tax retirement accounts. It is important to balance your current year tax liability with your future retirement income needs. Please phone Kristin at (803)329-0609 f you need her to work with you on your 2017 tax return.

Brilliance in Every Direction.
Altura is a vibrant, 55+ age-restricted community located in the Rincon Valley in the foothills of the Rincon Mountains, just east of Tucson, near the Saguaro National Park East in Tucson, Arizona. The 169-acre, 251 home community is comprised of residents from Arizona and across the U.S. and world. Two-thirds of residents are full-time, and represent a wide range of professional backgrounds and interests with no intention of retiring from life.
The community was founded in the 1990s by former University of Arizona president, Henry Koffler and his development partner, Lloyd Lewis, who envisioned a community where residents could live harmoniously with the desert and remain invigorated through life-long learning, the arts and volunteer work.
Henry was aware of the problem of retiring professionals, who were engaged in active careers, and then suddenly faced a lack of no longer belonging or growing after retirement.
Henry believed a community designed to bring together individuals with intellectual curiosity in a stimulating environment would foster their continued involvement and personal growth. Koeffler also believed the availability of a wellness program and supportive health care would help residents enjoy a healthful lifestyle. The combination of these features would serve as a national model for creative and productive retirement.
Community Overview
Altura is home to the Academy Village Campus — a multi-building complex located at the heart of the community — which encompasses the Arizona Senior Academy (ASA), a newly upgraded Community Center, and the Academy Villas assisted living residences.
The Arizona Senior Academy is Southern Arizona's premier adult education and outreach program affiliated with the University of Arizona and dedicated to promoting lifelong learning. Altura's Community Center offers an upgraded gym, a community kitchen, a business center with access to the University of Arizona Library, a health and wellness center staffed by a registered nurse and certified nursing assistant, and much more.
The Academy Villas, located within the Altura community, offers the highest standard of around-the-clock care in a residential environment.Learn more
A Dedicated HOA
The Academy Village Homeowners Association (AVHOA), representing the Altura Community, strives to preserve the architectural integrity of the community, maintain the common areas, protect property values, and manage the operation in accordance with federal, state and local laws. The AVHOA offers a number of amenities and services, and engages residents in social activities ranging from Super Bowl parties and Cinco de Mayo celebrations to Holiday Gift Markets and Toy Drives to support local military families.Learn more
Affordable, Energy-Efficient Homes
Altura was intentionally designed from the ground up to harmonize with nature, preserve open space, and allow residents to enjoy unobstructed views from their homes and many vantage points.
Miramonte Homes offers five energy efficient floor plans at Altura, ranging from 1,295 to 2,264 square feet.See new homes
The Developer & Home Builder
Dabdoub Acquisitions
Dabdoub Acquisitions, based in Southern Arizona and part of a family-owned real estate development business founded in the 1960s, specializes in the renovation and revitalization of historic sites in Southern Arizona. In addition to revitalizing Altura, the company is revitalizing more than a dozen redevelopment projects in Downtown Tucson, including nine historic buildings.
Miramonte Homes
Since 1996, Miramonte Homes has built more than 1,900 homes and is one of the largest, privately owned homebuilders in Arizona. The company has been named Builder of the Year multiple times over the past two decades by the Southern Arizona Home Builder's Association.
Photo Galleries
Since Tucson is in a "high" Sonoran desert, the desert plants are especially green during the Spring and Summer monsoon months. The photo galleries below give a glimpse, from cloud play around Rincon Peak, to acres of blooms in Saguaro National Park East, to some of the local wildlife that calls Tucson home.
