LatinWings Announces Aerodrome Requena!/
FSX/P3D. Note to all developers: regardless of your native tongue, it's always best practice to include English variants of all product announcements. This allows us news folks to promote you and your products whilst ensuring we don't misunderstand and publish inaccurate information by use of wankie online translator programs. In my best translation here the aerodrome will be packed with many animations, objects and 3D aircraft, people, vegetation typical of the area and its vicinity, everything you need to make the most of this exotic location. The project will be on sale at the end of March. The team is planning some sort of event which you will find via the source link below. Be ready to translate.
As for my thoughts on this project, this team is really upping the anti on quality and I must say I am very impressed with what I see thus far. Nicely done LatinWings!

St. Joseph on the Beach: This man shares a remarkable story about his grandfather during the 1930s or 1940s in Egypt involving a miracle by the foster father of Jesus. In short, store employees plotted to murder his grandfather because he prevented them from stealing from the store. They made him dig his own grave at an empty beach. Seven employees then threw him into the ditch and began shoveling dirt over him.
"That was when a mysterious old man appeared at the top of the hill, his eyes and body were glowing white with brilliance and the old man descended towards them at a speed no human being could attain. The employees were so frightened by what happened that they dropped their hats . . . and ran away as fast as they could. When my grandfather climbed out of the ditch to thank the old man, the old man suddenly vanished."
Just then, his grandfather remembered that his aunt had called from Lebanon a few days earlier to say she had a dream that Saint Joseph would save him from being murdered. He realized he should not have laughed at her dream and her "superstition" after all. (Source - scroll to humble_catholic)
KISSED BY POPE FRANCIS: Baby Gianna Masciantonio was born September 17, 2014. That same month, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Doctors told her heartbroken parents she only had "days to weeks, maybe months" to live and would never reach her first birthday.
Soon after the diagnosis, the baby's mother had a profound dream: "I had a dream. She was walking upstairs which meant that she had to be old enough to be walking. And at the top of the stairs was the Pope and Saint Gianna's daughter. And I had that dream. And it came true," Gianna's mother the day after her baby was kissed by the pope (Source: David Spunt, CBS Philly).
Ever since the dream in 2014, the mother, Kristen Masciantonio, knew her baby would live long enough to walk (Baby Gianna would go on to have her first birthday on 9/17/2015, and is doing better).
Kristen also knew from the dream that her baby would one day meet Pope Francis.
This part came true in Philadelphia when Pope Francis kissed and blessed the baby one year after the dream as his popemobile headed to Independence Hall on Saturday, September 26, 2015. The baby's father, Joey Masciantonio, told CBS that he "held her over the fence as far as I could" and that's when a guard grabbed her and took her to the pope. "We just thought we'd see him drive by. We never thought in a million years that he would bless our daughter," Joey said (Source: FOX 29).
But there's more. Recall that in the mother's dream, Saint Gianna's daughter stood at the top of the stairs along with the pope. Well, Saint Gianna's daughter – also named Gianna and now a doctor – happened to attend the papal festivities in Philadelphia. While in Philly, the saint's daughter held Baby Gianna Masciantonio (this happened on Thursday, Sept 24, 2015)!
The baby has already achieved many milestones previously believed impossible.
In December of 2014 (when the baby was a few months old), doctors at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia "determined that the rare tumor on her brain stem was benign but still pressing on vital nerves" and by summer she no longer needed a feeding tube (Source: Peg Quann, Bucks County Courier Times). The baby had spent the first year of life in hospice care.
Two months after the papal kiss, it was reported that the tumor had drastically shrunk. The baby's father said that prior to the papal encounter, treatment had been shrinking the tumor about 5 percent per month, but that immediately after the pope's touch, the tumor had shown massive shrinkage, with just a "blush" left. The father said baby Gianna had spent her first nine months of life in hospice care, but now they have hope. According to the father, "The miracle is all the people who prayed. The Pope is just the messenger that God heard."

Padre Pio puts hand on shoulder
While dying of intestinal cancer, a sick man wakes up to find a bearded man's hand on his shoulder, comforting him. A week later, his priest sends the family a photo of Padre Pio, and the sick man immediately recognizes him as the man who had shown up. The sick man had never seen a picture of the deceased saint previously, though Padre Pio's famous gloves had been touched to his skin. (the priest had brought him the gloves, which Padre Pio once used to soak up blood from his stigmata wounds). The man eventually died of the cancer, but the man's life was extended. In fact, the tumor in the intestine showed miraculous shrinking the next time he went to the doctor. (Source: forums member Darran)
Man from dream identified: A man unknown to this woman appeared in a dream and said to confide in him any troubles she had. The woman unburdened herself. They prayed together. The very next day, the woman was flipping through a Catholic New Yorker magazine and spotted a photo of the very man from the dream! It was Solanus Casey (1870-1955), a Capuchin priest whose life was being investigated for sainthood. When the priest was alive, people used to come to him to tell them his troubles.

Virgin Mary's mother appears and says, "I am Ann." to Yves Nicolazi on June 5, 1623. She says, "Yves Nicolazic, do not fear. I am Anne, the Virgin Mary's mother. Tell your rector that at one time there used to be a chapel on that patch of land called Bocenno, even before there was village here. It was the most popular one in all the country. It was destroyed 924 years and 6 months ago. I would like to have it rebuilt as soon as possible. I would like you to take care of it because God wants me to be honored there." The basilica that was then built in northwestern France can still be visited today. It's called the Basilica of Sainte-Anne d'Auray.

The deceased Padre Pio greets him in Italy - Father Shenan Boquet visited the friary in San Giovanni Rotondo where Padre Pio lived until his death in 1968. He wanted to pray for relief from his illness. The moment he knelt down in the church, he looked up. Immediately he saw a Capuchin friar coming towards him. The friar pointed his finger at the priest and says, "Do not be afraid of dying if it serves God's mighty work." The friar also grabbed him by the arm and showed him a picture of a man who died in fear without being prepared. The friar then said, "Do not be afraid of serving God even if it's through an illness if it serves God's plan. No one is prepared. No one is ready. Prepare."
All of a sudden the friar wasn't there, which didn't make sense. As the priest left, he told a younger friar to thank the "older friar" for his thoughtfulness. The friar assured him there had been no other friars in the vicinity. The American priest eventually realized he had been visited by long dead Padre Pio himself. In fact, the mysterious friar had even said to him, "Pray, hope and don't worry," which is Padre Pio's famous phrase. After the incident, Father Boquet began healing nicely from his illness.
(Source: Program #10860 of "Women of Grace" – aired on EWTN May 18 & 19, 2015). Father Shenan Boquet was a guest of host Johnette Benkovic. Fr. Boquet is president of Human Life International.
Roses sent by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897). This French saint is well-known for sending roses to those who ask her for help. In fact, before dying, the saint said, "I will let fall a shower of roses" and "I shall spend my heaven doing good upon earth." Thousands have said they received roses from her, including Pope Francis.
I'll just mention a few charming examples collected by author Elizabeth Ficocelli in her book, Shower of Heavenly Roses (2004). A red rose lying in the snow. A never-dying rose in a vase. Roses sent to reveal that certain family members had entered heaven.
But my favorite story in her book involves a husband named Mike who worked at a thrift shop. One day, he called his wife from the shop about an unusual incident.
Apparently, a young woman had come in with a bag of items she was donating, yet nobody had seen her enter or leave the store. It seemed she had just vanished after giving Mike her bag. What Mike did not know was that his wife had been secretly praying a novena to St. Thérèse about her husband's health problems. Mike's wife said nothing about this on the phone, but she did wonder to herself, "Could the mysterious woman possibly have been Saint Thérèse?"
When her husband got home, she asked him to view a wall covered with pictures of people. Although he was a non-Catholic and unfamiliar with the faces of saints, Mike immediately pointed to the image of St. Therese as the woman in the thrift shop. His wife then revealed her identity. If you are curious about what was found in the bag donated to the shop by the saint, read the book, Shower of Heavenly Roses.
Pope John Paul II declared Saint Thérèse of Lisieux the 33rd Doctor of the Church in 1997. She is also known as the "Little Flower" and "St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Padre Pio appeared to him in jail
A woman from Los Angeles named Hortencia Portez reports that her uncle was scared to death in jail in El Paso, Texas, back in the 1930s. The uncle had been convicted of trafficking liquor from Mexico to the United States. The jail was filed with violent inmates and jailers.
The uncle prayed to a holy priest named Padre Pio for protection (Padre Pio was alive but in Italy). Hortencia writes, "One night as he was praying, his cell became filled with a beautiful fragrance of roses. He felt a great sense of peace. He saw Padre Pio standing in front of him. Padre Pio communicated to Uncle Eleno that everything would be all right." Uncle Eleno lived to be a hundred years old.

Doctor is cured from lupus overnight
Dr. Carlos Eduardo Restrepo, an anesthesiologist from Medellín, Colombia, realized he was cured upon waking up one morning in January of 2005. The previous night, he was still very ill from lupus and was suffering from an infection in the thorax and kidney damage, and was expected to die soon. He had spent nine months in the hospital. After receiving last rites, an image of the late Blessed Laura came to his mind in a strong way, so he started praying to her.
According to CNA, the doctor prayed to Laura, "Mother Laura . . . If you heal me of this, I will tell the world about your miracle so that you will be raised to the altars." The doctor adds that "when I entrusted myself to Blessed Laura I felt a wonderful sense of peace." He told the Colombia newspaper, El Tiempo, "If this isn't a miracle, I don't know what is."
Regarding the night when the image of Laura came to him, Dr. Restrepo explains, "a mí me vino la imagen de ella. No voy a decir que fue una aparición o que vi una luz, me acordé de ella, pensé en ella," according to ACI/EWTN Noticias. In English, this means, "The image of her came to me. I'm not going to say it was an apparition or that I saw a light, but I was reminded of her, I thought of her."
On this night, he prayed to Blessed Laura of St. Catherine of Siena (also known as Blessed Laura de Jesus Montoya Upegui). The miracle was one of two miracles approved by the Vatican for Laura, who died in 1949. Many believe Laura will become the first canonized Colombian saint.

September marks the start of a brand new school year for many students, however, for some parents, it represents uncertainty. For parents of children with developmental and intellectual disabilities, finding a school that is the right fit for their child can be quite the challenge.
The Star recently published an article documenting two different parent's experiences with the Toronto District School Board. One parent, Sarah Patterson, talked about the need to make an effort to prove to others, especially TDSB, that her then 3-year-old son, Landon, was a "typical" child despite having autism and according to Sarah, "functions at the level of a 2- or 3-year-old." The answer to Landon's schooling was the Beverley School, a congregated facility dedicated to students with disabilities.
Another parent, Marcy White, talked about a different experience with finding a school that has the resources and support systems necessary to help her sixth grade son Jacob Trossman, who has an incurable neurodegenerative illness and uses a wheelchair. In addition, Jacob is unable to talk thus needing proper care a lot of the time. Some schools simply do not have the resources to accommodate Jacob. While the congregated system worked for Landon, it won't work for Jacob.
CACL initiative Inclusive Education Canada and other similar organizations advocate for inclusive education, which urges for a closer look at how we design our education systems in a way that all students could participate without any complications. Debates about congregated and integrated education aside, Marcy's and Sarah's stories opens the doors to a bigger problem: there is a serious lack of resources for accommodating students with disabilities. However, things look like they could be improving, in April, the government of Ontario has announced it will put forth $2.7 billion in funding specialeducation for the new school year.

How to contribute
East Moulsecoomb Estate
Photo by Tony Mould
When we were children grandma used to take us "up the hills" to collect sticks and bits of wood. We would go along what I think was called the 'cinder path' which ran along the back of the gardens, then under the railway bridge. The woods were along further on the left. We gathered all the small twigs for fire lighting and if we were lucky a bigger piece of wood had fallen, then June and I would drag it home.
In the season it would be black-berrying; we would go the same way but instead of turning left we went straight on until we came to the dewpond then up the hill to the top. We collected pounds of blackberries so Grandma could make blackberry and apple pie; she used apples from Grandad's apple trees in the garden. Sometimes she would make the most wonderful tasting jam.
Many years after my grandparents died I went to visit someone in East Moulsecoomb, and whilst we were standing in her garden I got a strange feeling about the surrounding countryside. I said to her that it felt just like the place we used to blackberry where there was a dewpond at the bottom of the hill. My friend agreed that there was indeed a dewpond at the bottom. We were standing right on the spot where the bushes used to be. I often think about the lovely times we had doing simple things with our grandparents.
Does this ring any bells? Do you often think about these sorts of times when you were a kid? If you can share your memories with us, please leave a comment below.
Yes Marlene, I have many memories of Moulsecoomb. I lived in Colbourne Avenue from 1959 to 1967, I was born in 1957 when my parents lived in Moulsecoomb Way. As a small boy there was so much space and you knew everyone in the street in those days didn't you? Our blackberrying was usually done in Wild Park and we would go for the day to play cricket or football stopping off at 'Woolvens' at the bottom of Moulsecoomb Way for some sweets on the way home. I wrote a page about this earlier this year (click here). I also liked the school as well, good teachers - well, almost! I went on to Moulsecoomb Seniors even though we had moved into the centre of town by then.

fantastic series
Would you consider the audio edition of Ted and Me to be better than the print version?
YES...my son can't see well enough to read, uses a wheelchair and is now 22. without audio books he would still have me reading to him and messing up all the pronunciations. Keep it up. It must be hard being stuck in his own body... Stories take him on Adventures good or bad - he well always wake up from the book safe in his own room.
What did you like best about this story?
i will ask him
Which scene was your favorite?
i will ask him
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

CROTON-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – Croton firefighters were called to 20 Van Wyck Street Sunday after one of the residents of the wooden, multi-family home detected smoke emanating from its front porch.
The landlord was already pulling up smoldering boards from the porch when firefighters arrived on the scene within two minutes of receiving the 12:23 p.m. call.
Croton police officers, whose headquarters are right up the street, had lent a hand by using their fire extinguishers, firefighters said in a Facebook post.
Fire crews determined that no flames or smoke had gotten inside the 2 ½-story structure.
However, it could have been a different story if the fire had not been detected so early. The section that burned was just about a foot away from the home's gas meter, firefighters said.
A reciprocating saw was used to remove a section of the porch so the underside could be checked and soaked down with water as well.
About three dozen volunteers were on the scene. All units returned to their bases within 30 minutes, firefighters said.
The cause of the fire was unknown at press time.

Bermuda and Akron, Ohio-based Signet Jewelers Ltd (NYSE: SIG), the world's largest retailer of diamond jewelry, said it agreed to acquire Israeli-American company R2Net, owner of online jewelry retailer JamesAllen.com and Segoma Imaging Technologies, for $328 million in cash.
The move comes four months after U.S. private equity firm Francisco Partners acquired a 50% stake in R2Net for $140 million, in a deal which included Francisco's buyout of a 25% stake in R2Net previously acquired by Israel Growth Partners for $25 million in December 2014.
R2Net was founded in 2006 by Oded Edelman, James Schultz, Michele Sigler and Dean Lederman. The company is headquartered in New York City with global operations, including technology innovation centers in Israel and 24/7 customer service operations in Frederick, Maryland.
R2Net, conceived as "Rough Diamonds to Internet," operates a robust e-commerce and supply chain platform that connects the entire span of the diamond industry's ecosystem, including manufacturers, retailers and consumers. R2Net owns and operates four distinct brands: JamesAllen.com, Segoma, D-Market and Brio Animation Studio. The company provides highly magnified 360° HD images of diamonds to diamond polishers, and then displays them on its D-Market and JamesAllen.com platforms, allowing retailers, manufacturers and consumers to transact digitally without the high expenses and time delays associated with traditional brick and mortar alternatives.
JamesAllen.com, one of the fastest growing online retailers of engagement rings and loose diamonds, has grown its sales by more than 2.5x in the last two years as consumers have embraced the company's use of technology to bring simplicity, selection, pricing transparency and overall value to the engagement ring shopping process. JamesAllen.com visitors can shop directly for the exact diamond they want and then design or customize their own personalized jewelry pieces.
Using the company's proprietary Diamond Display Technology, consumers can view each of the site's 150,000+ conflict-free, fully certified loose diamonds, as well as hundreds of ring settings, in 360° HD and zoomed up to 40x. JamesAllen.com operates almost exclusively online, with the exception of its by-invitation-only showroom in New York City.
The deal will bring together Signet's jewelry retail business with R2Net's innovation capabilities and digital technology, positioning Signet towards building scalable digital capabilities forannel transformation.
Signet operates approximately 3,600 stores primarily under the name brands of Kay Jewelers, Zales, Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry, H.Samuel, Ernest Jones, Peoples and Piercing Pagoda.
"This is a highly strategic acquisition for Signet. The James Allen brand and R2Net's technologies and innovative approach present a unique opportunity to rapidly enhance our digital capabilities and create a distinctive customer shopping experience which more seamlessly integrates our digital and physical retail platforms," said Signet CEO Virginia C. Drosos. "We look forward to the R2Net team, who have been long-term partners on our Jared Design-A-Ring platform, joining the Signet family. Together, we will redefine the jewelry shopping experience and further accelerate our Customer-First OmniChannel strategy."
"We founded JamesAllen.com with a mission to offer beautiful rings, simplicity, selection, pricing transparency and overall value to consumers online," said Edelman, R2Net Co-founder and CEO. "By joining forces with Signet, we believe we will be able to accelerate the growth of JamesAllen.com and our adjacent R2Net businesses while continuing to build on our unique culture and technology."
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval and will be financed with a term loan provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, which is expected to be repaid in full by the end of fiscal 2018. Signet sees significant growth and value creation opportunities from the implementation of R2Net's technology across its physical and online retail platforms. Signet anticipates the deal to be accretive in the first full year of operations.
Following the acquisition, R2Net brands will largely operate as an independent division of Signet and its current leadership team will remain intact. In addition to his role as President of JamesAllen.com, Edelman will become Chief Digital Innovation Advisor of Signet, where he will report directly to Ms. Drosos and assume the responsibility for driving Signet's digital innovation strategy. Edelman and the R2Net co-founders have agreed to invest a portion of their transaction proceeds in Signet shares.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as financial advisor and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP served as legal counsel to Signet, and Meitar Liquornik Geva Leshem Tal served as legal counsel to R2Net on this transaction.

With Halloweens and the carving of pumpkins comes pumpkin seeds, and the opportunity to do something with them. The boys were pretty excited about toasting seeds, so I got prepared.
Look, an indistinct picture of some damp seeds, just de-gooped, and some of the tools/ingredients that I intend to use, and some other random stuff.
And here's a blurry picture of the seeds in a bowl. Which may or may not already have the olive oil in it to coat the seeds. Followed by no picture of the garlic salt or the regular salt, or of the finished (delicious) seeds because we ate them all.
Yeah, it's a pretty good thing I'm not trying the food blogging gig.

Cal State Northridge 3, UC Santa Barbara
Cal State Northridge 3, UC Santa Barbara 2Nov. 22, 2005
Seniors Daniel Paladini and Will Beard tied the match on two separate occasions, while freshman Brian Siu scored the game-winner in the 39th minute, as the Matadors advanced to the third round and the Sweet 16 with a 3-2 victory over UC Santa Barbara on Tuesday in front of 1,381 fans at Matador Soccer Field.
The Matadors, who won their first Division I postseason game, will take on the winner of the New Mexico/Wisconsin-Milwaukee match in Albuquerque set for 6 p.m. PT tonight. If UNM wins, Northridge will go to New Mexico for the third round and will likely play on Saturday at 1 p.m. If UWM wins, the Matadors will host on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Matador Soccer Field.
For a matchup between a pair of teams that each had sub-1.00 goals against average's this season, it would be a shootout for the first 23 minutes rather than a defensive struggle.
The Matadors had scored first in both previous matches with UCSB this season, but it would be the Gauchos who got the first goal in the sixth minute. Off a Matador turnover, Bryan Byrne ran the length of the field and deflected a shot from the box off a Northridge player at 5:20 for his sixth of the season.
But four minutes later, Paladini would tie the match at one. Off a free kick from 30 yards out on the left side, the senior boomed it past UCSB keeper Kyle Reynish to the lower left corner at 9:18 for his seventh of the season.
Only 2:29 after CSUN tied it, Santa Barbara re-took the lead. The play started as Andy Iro sent a ball ahead to Andrew Proctor. Proctor passed off to Ivan Becerra, who moved into the box and beat freshman goalkeeper Kevin Guppy to the left post for his 12th of the season at 11:47.
After three goals in under 12 minutes, the Matadors waited a whole 11 minutes to even the score. Sophomore Matt Tracy sent the ball ahead to junior Taylor Canel. He passed to the right to Beard, who sent his shot past Reynish to the right side at 23:08 for his second of the season.
Siu would end the first-half scoring, and netted what turned out to be the game-winner, at 38:03. Freshman Jeff Konoske sent a short corner kick to sophomore Sean Franklin. Franklin passed off to his left to a wide open Siu and the true freshman skipped a shot past Reynish to the left post from 35 yards out for his second of the season.
Now with the lead, the Matadors got more focused on the defensive side of the ball and clamped down on the Gaucho offense. Chris Pontius had the first chance to score the equalizer in the second half, but Guppy stopped his shot in the 66th minute. The Gauchos never got another attempt that went past the Matador defensive line, as the other six shots in the second half by UCSB were all blocked.
Although the Matadors were focusing on stopping the Gauchos from scoring the tying goal, CSUN had the better of the opportunities for goals in the final 45 minutes. Junior Ryan Rossi had a pair of chances, but a shot in the 65th minute was saved by Reynish. Twenty minutes later, Rossi was in the middle of the box with Reynish out of position, but he sent an off-balance shot wide left. Canel also had a shot stopped by Reynish, while junior Willie Sims had three shots in the second half go high or wide.
The Matadors outshot the Gauchos 19-13 for the match. Canel had a match- high four shots for CSUN, while Sims added three. Guppy made three saves in net for Northridge. UCSB was led by Becerra's three attempts. Reynish had five stops between the pipes.
Northridge extended its home unbeaten streak against the Gauchos to six (5-0-1) and did not lose to UCSB in three matches this season, going 2-0-1. The three goals allowed by the Gauchos are the most in any match this season, with UCSB having given up two goals on four different occasions.

'St Giles Bowl' debut album from Tim Jones & The Dark Lanterns - classic folk-narrative fare(February 25, 2015)
The threads of traditional English folk run shining and clear through every track on 'St Giles Bowl', the debut album from Tim Jones & The Dark Lanterns. The weave of heritage is so strong you have to keep reminding yourself this is folk music written in these years not folk trawled from the mists of time. Waves of soft acoustic echoes couple with pulses of folk rock touches and together place 'St Giles Bowl' finely into today's English folk legacy.
The album opens with a whirling klezmer-influenced 'One Of A Thousand Men' referencing roguery, death and the graveyard, before the sing-a-long gallows-tale of 'St Giles Bowl' adds drinking to the proceedings, followed by themes of bewitchment, shape-shifting and murder in 'Her Long Red Hair' – taken together, all classic folk-narrative fare. The necessary elements are there in abundance – warm-toned, generously distinct vocals, layered guitar, mandolin, melodeon and fiddle, plus driving bass and drums to expand the folk rock elements. The mix continues through the gentle reflection of a modern story-song 'No More A Darkness', the tale of 'Gallows Ground' holding within its dark sadness a palpable sense of another time, complete with chattering birdsong 'Interlude-The Wounded Hussar' is a short but intriguing link to the darkly ominous 'Robinson' with its haunting instrumentation and mournful vocals.
There's a drum-driven, melodeon rush to 'Westminster' to make a statement that many should heed, while 'Fair Normandy' is another one of those songs that although of a generation fighting with rifles evokes a memory of a time when soldiers with similar outlooks fought with swords. Without fearing too much contradiction, Tim Jones & The Dark Lanterns have got their chosen style off to a fine art. If you want to hear 'living tradition' this is an album worth listening to because it carries the mark of English folk music stamped hard. And by way of a pleasant change, the lyrics are printed on the enclosed booklet.
Tim Jones & The Dark Lanterns are Tim Jones (lead vocal, guitar) Melissa Smith (vocals, mandolin, glockenspiel, tin whistle, ukulele) Ted Kemp (vocal, banjo, melodeon) Robin Timmis (vocals, violin, percussion, guitar) Bedwyr Gruffydd (bass) and James Fairmond (vocals, drums, percussion).

Mongols MC (Motorcycle Club)
Mongols MC is a one percenter motorcycle club founded in Montebello, California on December 5, 1969.
The Mongols Motorcycle Club are also known by the names Mongol Nation and Mongol Brotherhood.
Mongols MC History
Mongols Motorcycle Club was founded in Montebello, California on December 5, 1969. The mother chapter had a total of 15 members. Most of the members were military veterans and all loved to ride their Harley Davidson motorcycles. The club's name of the "Mongols" was inspired by Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire.
Within 5 years the motorcycle club had expanded to create new Mongols chapters in Los Angeles (LA), San Diego (Dago), Bakersfield, Long Beach, San Gabriel Valley (SGV) and San Fernando Valley (SFV).
In October 2013 there was a national meeting of the Finks MC held in Australia. They agreed to patch over to Mongols MC, providing the Mongols a significant number of chapters within Australia. The vast majority of the Finks members patched over to the Mongols, however a few remained and continued on with the Finks MC name.
As at mid 2017 many of the European based chapters are no longer listed on the Mongols worldwide website.
Mongols MC Patch / Motto / Colors
The Mongols Motorcycle Club patch consists of a Harley Davidson motorcycle being ridden by a member of Ghengis Khan's Mongol Empire.
The Mongols Motorcycle Club colors are black and white.
One of the abbreviations used by the club is "MFFM", which stands for "Mongols Forever, Forever Mongols". This style of abbreviation is very commonplace amongst outlaw motorcycle clubs.
Mongols MC Chapters
The Mongols Motorcycle Club has chapters throughout much of the United States particularly in California where they have dozens of chapters, as well as multiple chapters in countries including Australia, Germany and Thailand.

The Bannock County Sheriff's Office responded with the BearCat armored vehicle, the Southeast Idaho Special Tactics and Response team (STAR), the Bonneville County SWAT team and the Pocatello Police SWAT team.
2015 – USA. 16 September, 2015. Federal District Judge David O. Carter dismisses a case in California lodged by the government which was attempting to use civil forfeiture to laws to seize all rights to the Mongols emblems and patches and to forbid their members from wearing them.
2016 – 30 January, 2016. A fight breaks out at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado between the Iron Order MC and Mongols MC. Mongols member Victor Mendoza, known as "Nubs", is shot and dies. Mongol Jared Chadwick, known as "Hercules" is also shot and badly wounded. The Iron Order claim that the shooting was self defence, as they also claimed in the 2014 shooting against the Black Pistons, of which the Florida State Attorney General refused to lay charges. The Mongols took a very unusual step for their club after this Iron Order Denver shooting, by holding a press conference to publicly announce that they do not believe this shooting was in self defence and that it was in fact a murder. Iron Order member Derrick "Kong" Duran is arrested at the venue following the murder and can be seen in video footage at the complex holding a pistol. As well as being a member of the motorcycle club Derrick Duran is also an employee of the Colorado Department of Corrections. Interestingly there is a decision made by Denver District Attorney Mitchell R. Morrissey not to prosecute Derrick Duran.
The following is from a statement by the Mongols attorney Stephen Stubbs after the Iron Order Denver shooting:
"Pulling a gun after one of your buddies pushes someone is not reasonable and cannot be self-defense … shooting an unarmed person that tries to disarm you, after you unlawfully brandish a gun, cannot be self-defense. Running to the top of the stairs, pointing a gun at the crowd below, and shooting an unarmed man that bravely tries to disarm you cannot be self-defense."
2017 – 21 May, 2017. Joshua Herbert, believed to be with a status of "Out Bad" with the Mongols MC, exits his car at a gas station in Riverside, California where 3 Hells Angels MC members and two prospects were filling up. Joshua Herbert begins firing at the group of Hells Angels with a revolver, with multiple bullets hitting Hells Angels prospect James Duty, who later died in hospital. A second Hells Angels member was hit in the helmet, but not injured. On 21 June multiple law enforcement agencies executed search warrants at seven locations where they found several weapons and various Mongols insignia. James Duty is arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, weapons violations, and gang enhancements with special circumstances.
2017 – 11 August, 2017. Colorado Motorcycle Expo, Incorporated, the organisers of the National Western Complex Colorado Expo event that ended with a fight between the Iron Order MC and the Mongols MC in January 2016, sue the Mongols Motorcycle Club claiming that they started the fight between the two clubs. The Expo organisation are seeking damages as well as court costs.

Is it that in the act of creativity that we express Divine love? How can that be? Isn't Divine love, like Divine grace, freely given? Isn't it our divine right? Or is it simply and elusive factor we strive for and never attain?
Creativity is defined as "the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination" [dictionary.com]. The growth and expansion of the entire omniverse comes from the complete and pure expression of Divine love and the response of the creation to that expression.This is the key to unfolding our Divine purposes in Divine order; responding in a new way by utilizing our imaginations to create new 'expressions' of reality! In other words, actualizing what we were created to be by 'co-creating' what is already in existence to 'reflect' our Divine purposes as they unfold in Divine order.
The ability to see beyond 'what is' is a necessity in establishing a new paradigm. Also, it is the awareness that 'any' new paradigm is a flexible, mutable and dynamic 'work in progress' that reflects our awareness of our individual Divine purposes at a certain point in time. Time is river that transports the essence of our individual creativity and floats our 'bubble' in Divine love. Only in acclimating ourselves to the awareness of the never ending rearrangement ofthe creation can we begin to understand that we are that 'bubble' that experiences the perception of our movement through time.
Are our perceptions always correct? Are they the only barometer by which we come to understand our Divine purposes in life? Or are they the small sliver of the greater picture of reality? Just as a hologram contains the perspective of the entire picture, we contain the entire perspective of reality through our inner spirit. Only when we 'see' from that inner spirit can we know the entire picture.
But what exactly are we? Are we our individual perspective or are we the entire picture? In actuality, we are the essence and expression of creativity existing concurrently when we utilize our imagination to create new expressions of Divine love. Imagination is the tool by which we lift ourselves out of the confines of observation, perception and belief. It is the tool that allows us to contemplate 'what if' from our experiences of 'what was' and 'what is'. Be ye therefore perfect in utilizing your imagination! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.

The difference between high school and college: Breaking down expectations
The difference between high school and college is huge even though the former serves as a preparatory stage for the latter. A newly graduate high school student may find life in college arduous and severe. It is a far cry from the happy-go-lucky carefree existence you once had in high school where academics and parties easily blend together. Sure, you had to work hard on your GPA to get into your university of choice, but back then, you still had a semblance of a social life.
The difference between high school and college can be summed up in five major statements:
1 In high school, obeying rules is your motto; in college, being in control is your lifeline.
We all know that high school students are obligated to attend school while college students choose to go to school. If you feel helpless and controlled in high school, as the case often is, it may be because of the rules and very controlling school authorities. Once you enter college you will have to make a few rules and enforce them. For the only way to survive college is by strictly requiring yourself to go to class as well as allot time for review and further studying. If in high school, you have your parents and teachers to make reminders for you, you will have to do this by yourself in college. College students will be relying more on sticky notes or smartphone reminders. All in all, high school students are like babies in the families, pampered and closely supervised by teachers, principals and teachers. Meanwhile, college students are like the eldest in the brood, regulating themselves by managing their schedules on their own and keeping close watch on their academic requirements without any kind of promptings from anyone. Perhaps the only perk in being in college is the flexibility of your schedule as opposed to a structured one in high school. However, if you ask college students, the free hours are not spent idly for it will be used in studying or even working.
2 If learning is to be pursued, this is done in high school by spoonfeeding; in college, you need to reap and sow before the meal.
In high school, you will be told what you need to learn. Oftentimes, you only need to listen or take down notes for 36 weeks, which is the length of a schoolyear. This is how learning is acquired. The readings are often assigned and then discussed in class. Hence, you may only need a maximum of 2 hours a week for studying. Others hardly allot time to do this as long as they pay attention in class. College offers a different scenario. First, classes are divided into two semesters with 15 weeks each and 1 extra week for the exams. The lessons are not spoonfed that oftentimes, you may need to make extra readings in order to fully grasp the lessons. You will have to find supplementary sources through your own research. If there are assigned readings, you will have to study this by yourself for the professors will not teach them but will probably asks you questions outright or your interpretation of it outright. To survive college, you need to allot 2 to 3 hours per an hour subject.
3 In high school, teachers are like your parents; in college, professors are your mentors as well as your greatest enemies.
If you think your high school teachers are mean, then you will be surprised when you get to college. High school teachers would often tell or remind you of what you need to do in order to meet your academic requirements. They diligently check your homework even making brief notations for your guidance. Many times, consultations would even become instant tutorials. If you missed school, teachers can provide notes on the lessons you missed or give you make-up classes. Most importantly, high school teachers are trained in imparting knowledge. In college, your teachers act as guides in learning. The professors are the experts in their fields, but often they will not explain the lessons but rather challenge your understanding of it. For this purpose, you really have to come to school well prepared. If they do write on the board, it is more to illustrate a point rather than enumerate them. At times, they will not check homework but would expect you to perform the same procedure during the exam. All in all, college professors teach in a way that facilitate your learning rather than teach the lessons point by point.
4 If tests were on rocket science, in high school, you will need to reproduce the blueprint space shuttle; but in college, you will have to produce the map of the solar system since your space ship successfully launched into space.
In high school, most tests require you to reproduce what you have learned. This is why memorizing names and dates are a must in high school. For this purpose, high school tests are numerous and for long tests, review sessions are even conducted. In college, application is the focus. You will be given new situations or scenarios where you can apply the theories you have learned. You need to be analytical and highly critical in college because it is the usual way of learning. You need to ask questions after questions, which is why college students often look for supplementary readings that will further explain a theory or any subject matter. College tests are not as frequent like only 2 or 3 per semester. These tests are cumulative, spanning several lessons. Without any review sessions, you need to be well prepared. To ace a test, memorization helps, but more importantly, the ability to apply the lessons or theories in all kinds of situations.
5 Diligence and hard work weighs heavily in high school; but these fine qualities should reflect in results or output to make it good in college.
The mere act of trying hard matters when it comes to grades in high school. This is why every assignment or homework, no matter how short or simple they are, is equivalent to a certain points. This is why a low exam may not affect your average if you pull it up with the subsequent exams. Moreover, you can always ask for extra projects to raise your average. You can also graduate just by passing all subjects even if you only got a D. However, in college, the grading system is much more stringent. It is only the major papers and tests that may have points. The likelihood of having extra credits is in general, non-existent. College students should always be wary of the first tests, which set how the professor measures a student's performance in class. Failing it may determine your final grade. Moreover, you may only graduate if you meet the departmental requirement, which is often a grade of 2.0 or a C. Though hard work is always rewarded even in college, results or output is still the primary measure of determining your grade.
In a nutshell…
Now that we have established the difference between high school and college, it is no wonder then that freshman students find themselves having a hard time adjusting to college life. Making that transition requires a lot of preparation so it is to your advantage to do some bit of reading, finding out what the other students are saying and learning valuable tips on those with first-hand experience.

Teaching Prizes for Faculty
In 1980, the Yale College Faculty approved the following proposal for the creation and award of Yale College Prizes for Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching:
The University can help to sensitize the Yale community to the importance it attaches to good teaching by regularly honoring those who have demonstrated excellence in this area. The Committee on Teaching and Learning recommends a four-year experiment in which up to three prizes ... [will] be awarded to outstanding teachers at each Class Day or Commencement Exercise. The Committee on Teaching and Learning will solicit nominations from the faculty and student body at large, seek such other information on the quality of teaching as it saw fit, and make the final selections. All Yale college faculty members, other than members of the Teaching and Learning Committee, would be eligible after having taught at Yale for three years. The Committee's charge would be to honor faculty demonstrating unique excellence in undergraduate teaching (be it laboratory, seminar, or lecture course) rather than to determine which instructors were most popular.
In 1981, the first three Yale College Teaching Prizes were established, to recognize teaching excellence by ladder faculty in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. In 1989, the Yale College faculty created a fourth prize, to be awarded to a Lecturer, Lector, Senior Lecturer, Senior Lector, or Adjunct Professor. In 1993, a fifth prize was established by an anonymous alumnus in the Class of 1942, to be awarded to "a teacher in Yale College who has given the most time, energy, and effective effort to helping undergraduates learn." In 2010, the Teaching and Learning Committee took up the work of nominating recipients for an earlier, longstanding prize, the Sarai Ribicoff prize, previously administered by a separate nominating committee.

Teaching Prizes for Graduate Students
Prize Teaching Fellowships
The Prize Teaching Fellowships are considered among the most important honors that Yale bestows upon graduate students and recognize outstanding performance and promise as a teacher. Based on the nominations from undergraduate students and faculty, Prize Teaching Fellowships are awarded jointly through the offices of the Dean of the Graduate School and the Dean of Yale College. Each April, selection is made by a committee. Nominations may be made by e-mail or by letter to the Prize Fellowship Committee, c/o Yale College Dean's Office, 110 SSS. Nominations should be as detailed and specific as possible and include the full name of the graduate student being nominated, the title and number of the course the graduate student taught, the semester in which the course was taught, and the full name of the person making the nomination.
Yale graduate students in good standing in a Ph. D. program who have served in Yale College as Teaching Fellows (TFs) or Part-Time Acting Instructors (PTAIs) in academic year 2012-13 are eligible for nomination for Prize Teaching Fellowships.
The awards will be based upon excellence in performance as TFs or PTAIs , as attested to by undergraduate students and by supervising faculty. To be eligible for selection, graduate students must be making satisfactory progress towards the Ph.D. degree, as shown in the Dissertation Progress Report filed with the Graduate School.
Selection will be made in the spring of 2017 by a committee consisting of the Dean of Undergraduate Education in Yale College, an Associate Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Assistant Director of the Teaching Fellow Program in the Graduate School.
The Nomination Process
Students in Yale College may nominate any graduate student enrolled in a Ph.D. program whom they had as a Teaching Fellow (TF) or Part-Time Acting Instructor (PTAI) in an undergraduate course in either the fall or spring term, 2012-13.
Nominations need not be lengthy, but it helps the selection committee make their decisions if letters provide specific information about how a particular TF or PTAI has excelled as an instructor rather than general expressions of enthusiasm. This is not a popularity contest or an election in which the determination is made merely on the number of nominations received. The selection committee reads the letters of nomination and pays attention to the quality rather than just the quantity of information it receives.
Twice a year, at the end of the fall term and in the middle of the spring term, the Yale College Dean's Office will invite nominations by e-mailing all Yale College students with an active <yale.edu> e-mail account. The Yale College Dean's Office will also seek nominations through notices placed in residential college weekly newsletters. To avoid potential conflicts of interest, graduate student instructors should not solicit their students for nominations, but if asked by undergraduates how to go about making a nomination, should refer them to this website.
Letters of nomination must include the full name of the person writing the letter, the full name of the graduate student being nominated for the Prize Teaching Fellowship, and the name or number of the course in which the graduate student taught and the term (fall or spring) in which it was offered. Undergraduates writing letters of nomination should include information about their own class year and residential college.
Deadline for Nominations
The deadline for receipt of letters of nomination is March 31, 2018.
Once student nominations have been received and sorted, the selection committee will contact relevant departments and seek supporting information from the faculty member in charge of the course with which the TF or PTAI was affiliated, or as relevant, the DUS, DGS, Chair, or other departmental officer of the program sponsoring the course. These additional materials help the selection committee to make its final choices from among those nominated by undergraduates.
Nominate a graduate student
The Awards
The number of Prize Teaching Fellowships is not strictly capped, but is expected in any given year to fall between ten and fifteen.
The winners of Prize Teaching Fellowships receive a cash prize of $3000 to be awarded in spring 2017.
Teaching stipends for courses taught in 2016-17 by Prize Teaching Fellowship winners will be paid at the levels set for those forms of instruction for that year and will be disbursed in accordance to the normal schedule of payment for those ranks.
Those selected as Prize Teaching Fellows will be honored at a celebratory event in the fall, hosted by the Dean of the Graduate School and the Dean of Yale College.
