Sample text
Wheelock founded, in 1754, a little boarding school in Lebanon, Connecticut, intended to remove Indian children from "the pernicious influence of Indian examples," a theme that we will see repeated again throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century in support of the residential school as the best form of education for Indians. As was often the case with later residential schools, the promoters were disappointed that, on return to their peoples, the graduates commonly reverted to the patterns of Indian life rather than serving as models for the transformation of their tribes.
Meanwhile, the number of black slaves owned by about 10 percent of the Cherokee families increased, in 1860, to between 3,500 and 4,000, giving the mixed-blood elite (about one-third of whom owned slaves) a strong incentive to side with the Confederacy in the Civil War . . 29 This internal division reinforced that based upon acculturation to white society and use of English on the part of the mixed-bloods. Other "civilized nations" relied more upon missionary management, though funding their schools by the same methods that the Cherokees used.
39 In recent years, however, Indians The "Five Civilized Nations" ● 47 in Oklahoma have performed significantly better than those in Arizona and New Mexico on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, presumably reflecting their much longer intergenerational experience of schooling and literacy. On the other hand, the National Study of American Indian Education, completed in 1971, included a survey of different groups of Indians who were asked whether they rated "Indian Culture" or "White Culture" more highly.

-Body- roc delta 6 suit ripcord
-Helmet - vintage scott bernard macroos robotech
-Backpack and weapons- roc viper
-Knee pads- wraith shoulders armor
I made this custom as a part of a project to reactivate the vintage Battle Force 2000, I created new members and vehicles with modern hi-tech weapons.
Blocker is one of the old members of the battle force 2000. I reactivated all the old members like honorary members of the new BF 2020 . The Blocker armor its a new design of the delta 6 suit with new sonic weapons equipment.
As his name stand for, he blocks and smashes the enemy lines with the force attacks of his sonic weapons,
This custom has a sculpting job in the armor, then I added some extra armor parts(knees and arms) for a heavy armor look.The rest of the job, was painting the figure with grey and silver colors, and gave him dirty and shadows effects.
The last step was to cover the figure with a flat clear finish.
As a result of the job, I have a nice figure for my collection with great range of motion.
Check my other customs for more members of the Battle Force 2020 and Wolf squad, coming soon.
Thanks for looking. Enjoy!!

December 9. When we woke this morning we found that we were here for another record setting low temperature, 24 degrees. The boat was covered in frost.
We got a ride to the West Marine here in town from the local dock master this morning. The pump we need is on its way but won't be here until Tuesday afternoon. It will only take 20 minutes to install so we should be ready to leave on Wednesday morning. Oh well, things could be a lot worse. We're in a safe well protected marina. Its clean, cheap, we have internet, cell coverage and its well run. The weather is also supposed to get a lot warmer starting tomorrow so things are good.
Christy and I walked to the local market to grab some eggs and diet coke. When we got back to the boat we took care of some internet business and then took the dogs for a walk around the marina. The sun was out and it was in the high forties but felt warmer. It was a nice day overall.
Tonight we went to dinner at the local pub, Diggers. There were 4 lanes of traffic between us and the promise of a good meal so we made like Frogger and ran for our lives. The food was good but the people watching was way better. We didn't realize how spoiled we had become in Jersey with the smoke free bars and restaurants. We would have stayed longer to watch the goings on at the bar but the smoke finally got the better of us and drove us out.
Some new entries for your dictionaries:
Blowed – to have blown……….as in "It just blowed away"
Twernt- was not…………..as in "It twernt his fault"
Bill-About… It's the act of Bill walking around with the intent to start cordial conversation with anyone he meets. It's rare but there have been confirmed instances. Not to be confused with the even more rare Bill-Staggering-About which is similar but includes Bills excessive use of alcohol beforehand. Nor to be confused with the extremely rare Bill-Dancing-About which usually follows Bills use of Rum.

Susan Kistler on Examining AEA's LinkedIn Stats Dashboard
No comments · Posted by Susan Kistler in Uncategorized
My name is Susan Kistler and I am the American Evaluation Association's Executive Director and aea365's regular Saturday contributor.
AEA has a vibrant community on AEA's LinkedIn Group, open to members and nonmembers alike. We wanted to take a look at the change in subscribers over time and to learn more about the group's composition.
Hot Tip – LinkedIn Group Stats Dashboard: In November of 2011, LinkedIn launched a new group stats dashboard. Every group now has a dashboard that group members can view, and in many cases that the public can view as well. You can access AEA's stats dashboard by clicking here.
The dashboard includes summary statistics, demographics, growth information, and a weekly activity summary. The screenshot below shows the first page, but it is worth clicking through to explore a bit.
Lessons Learned – Examining the Dashboard: I had recently moderated an AEA Coffee Break Webinar featuring Veronica Smith speaking about designing data dashboards (if you are an AEA member, you can access the free recording in the archive here, if you aren't, wouldn't you like to join?). Was this one designed well, I asked myself?
It had current key performance indicators (KPIs). I could find the subscribers, basic information about their demographics, and the volume of discussion and comments in the past week. All useful. But a number of things were missing, most noticeably:
1. Filtering and drilldown: I couldn't filter what I was seeing to look at a particular timeframe or drill down to learn more about the group's subscribers from a particular region. We have noted that many of the new LinkedIn subscribers are international, hailing from many countries including a considerable representation from developing countries and countries in transition. However, I couldn't find anything out about them – not even a breakdown of domestic versus international.
2. Longitudinal data: The dashboard offered very little longitudinal data to explore change over time, and what could be found required mousing over individual bars to understand. The annotations, red lines, and even the years in the snapshot below, I had to add myself in a graphics program. However, it was useful to be able to see the history across years. With a little work I could see the increase in average weekly subscribers in 2011 and again in 2012, and it made me want to learn more – but there was no way to segment and explore the newer versus older subscribers.
New Subscribers by Week Over Time
At this point, I want to applaud LinkedIn for starting to help its group owners to understand more about their subscribers, but there is a long way to go. Using the dashboard made it clear that there are unanswered questions (why did we jump so much in the first two months of 2012?), but also that we'll need to turn to other avenues for answers.
Have you seen a great public dashboard? One that needs improvements?
Do you have questions, concerns, kudos, or content to extend this aea365 contribution?

Top 5 Moments From D23's 'Avengers: Infinity War' Sneak Peek
Disney broke the internet on Saturday when they showed the first footage from Avengers: Infinity War at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA. Lucky for all you guys, I was in the room and made a mental list of all the best moments from the teaser. While the movie only just reached the production half-way mark, the footage director Joe Russo showed to the audience still included some epic moments.
It wasn't a trailer per se — more so just a compilation of random moments designed to excite the audience. Whatever you want to call it, it did a great job of expressing how emotionally charged this movie will be. Remember, this is the conclusion of nearly ten years worth of stories, so expect some big action and tear jerking moments as Marvel Studios starts to shift towards Phase 4 and a new game plan.
Hit Next to learn about some of the best moments from the Infinity War sneak peek.

Totally different than the long drawn out storm over the weekend. A mix early Wednesday morning quickly turns to snow. From mid morning through the evening drive, we'll expect an intense band of heavy snow cut across the region. At times I expect 1" to 1.25" per hour rates which will greatly hinder the drive times. Don't be caught offguard. It's the sudden bursts of heavy snow when people aren't expecting it at key times, like rush hour that cause the most accidents.
In total. 4-8" is possible across the region. The MN/IA border looks to be the axis for heaviest snow with this one.
Due to some uncertainty to where the this heaviest snow band ends up, we've opened with a 'wide net'. As we hone in on the target, expect the edges to narrow, or squeeze in. Stay tuned as this forecast is refined in the coming 36 hours.

We arrived at this Temple around 9am. This is one of the best garden I have ever seen. The ground staff painstakingly tend each grass by hand. You can see them on their knees slowly picking the ground with their hands. It's unbelievable.
It is an amazing garden and could easily spend the whole afternoon here if there weren't so many tourists.
The wooden temples, garden and the trees in the distance make this a breathtaking place.

RAS AL KHAIMAH // An Emirati man and his Asian wife were killed in a car accident, RAK Police said.
The 63-year-old man was driving with his 39-year-old wife in the passenger seat when he entered a road without looking to see if it was free of other vehicles on Wednesday morning, said First Lieutenant Ibrahim Saif Al Mazroui, director of Traffic and Patrol Branch at Digdaga police station.
"We received a call about the accident at 11am, and the patrols and ambulances moved to the incident scene," he said, adding that the Emirati driver of the other car saw the vehicle entering his lane and he tried to avoid it but he could not help a collision.
"The man and his wife had severe injuries that led to their death immediately, and their bodies were transferred to the hospital to hand them over to their families."

|Day1 - Lisbon
|Upon arrival into Lisbon's Airport, you'll be met by your English speaking driver. Transfer to your hotel. Time to relax before meeting with your driver for a panoramic tour of Lisbon. See Jerónimos Monastery, the city's most prominent monument; Torre de Belém, ex-libris of Lisbon and jewel of Manueline art; Padrão dos Descobrimentos or Monument to the Discoveries, built in honor of Henry the Navigator, who was instrumental in the success of the Portuguese explorations during the 15th century, a period now known as the Age of Discoveries. Admire Black Horse Square, Rossio and Avenida da Liberdade before returning to your hotel for overnight.
|Day2 - Lisbon/Evora
|Your driver will meet you after breakfast. Today we drive to Alentejo. It is here that Portugal's climate finally escapes the Atlantic influence and the scenery changes to large, gently undulating plains. Aside from the many tourist attractions in the region, it is wine that is currently putting the Alentejo region on the map, and more specifically, its red wines. There are two distinct styles of Alentejo red. First, there is what can loosely be termed the traditional style. These often combine earthy, herby, undergrowth-like savory flavors and aromas with the fruit. Traditional Alentejo wines are often complex and reasonably age worthy. Then there is the modern style, perhaps best demonstrated by the wines of Esporão, João Portugal Ramos or Sogrape's new Alentejo Reserva. These wines show lots of intense fruit, with a richness that is quite 'new world' in character. Continue to Evora, the capital of Alentejo Province. This museum-city, whose roots go back to Roman times, reached its golden age in the 15th century, when it became the residence of the Portuguese Kings. Its unique quality stands in the whitewashed houses decorated with azulejos and wrought-iron balconies dating from the 16th to the 18th century. Overnight in Evora. (B)
|Day3 - Evora/Obidos/Batalha/Coimbra
|After breakfast, we head north to Coimbra. On our way, we stop in the charming village of Obidos and in Batalha for a visit of its imposing 14th century Monastery. Coimbra, known as Portugal's most romantic city, was the inspiration for the song "April in Portugal." On the weather-washed right bank of the muddy Mondego, this city of medieval churches is also the educational center of the country, and is at its best when the university is in session and the city radiates youthful energy. Overnight in Coimbra. (B)
|Day5 - Porto
|Start your day with an orientation tour of Porto, Portugal's second largest city. Sitting pretty among the hilly landscape at the mouth of the Douro River, Porto welcomes visitors looking for history, culture and a good glass of port wine. Porto's historic center is the Ribeira district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See its narrow, cobbled streets, pause for a cup of coffee and "pastel de nata" at one of many inviting cafes. Walk across the 19th century Ponte de Dom Luis Bridge to visit Porto's other half - the port-soaked Vila Nova de Gaia. Here you can tour one of the many ancient port wine cellars, learn about the beverage's history and sample some of the rich red liquid for yourself. Traditionally served as a dessert wine, port wine has emerged as the sipping alternative to wine and cocktails at luncheons, after work outings and at-home get togethers. The alcohol in port wine is produced under very specific conditions that result from natural and human factors. While aging in wood, port wine's fruity aroma develops through oxidation to create a bouquet that is reminiscent of dried fruit, toasting, wood and spices. Overnight in Porto. (B)
|Day7 - Porto/Minho Province/Porto
|Today we drive to the province of Minho. A rolling province of lush river valleys, forested hillsides, trailing vines and long, sandy beaches, it is certainly pleasing to the eye, especially in the mountainous east, where you can still see woodenwheeled ox-carts creak down cobbled lanes. Our first stop is in Guimarães. First capital of Portugal, this lovely city has preserved a medieval atmosphere in its core. Continue to Ponte de Lima, which is exactly what one hopes a Portuguese village will be like. Spread lazily along the tree-lined banks of the Lima River, it's named for the Roman Bridge with 27 arches spanning the water. This is also the area where the famous Vinho Verde (green wine) is produced. Overnight in Porto. (B)

Have you ever had problems at work, especially the problems with your boss? Even the best and desirable job can turn into the hell if you cannot make your relations with colleagues and the boss smooth. It's certain 90 % would agree with that…
In most countries the work week is limited to 40 hours, but how long is yours? You may be asked to work 8 hours for 6 working days. How about lunch? Do you always have it or it depends on the boss' mood? Do you receive your paycheck on time or you cannot pay for your utilities for three months because of the paycheck delay?. The majority of people also depend on credits, and it is critical to be able to make the credit payments on time. Do you agree?
For some people it is important that their boss provide detailed definition and specific instructions. Most of all the employees don't like when they cannot understand what they must do or do it in a wrong way. It's somehow awful when you do the same work every day, but one day your boss doesn't like it and another day, in opposite, he admires the same work. Or he begins giving new instructions every day: yesterday we did it in one way, and today we will do in another way. For all that the rules change without any rationale. One day you are forbidden to reposition the monitor at your work place. Another day when you invite a client to your side of the table in order to show something on the screen you can immediately hear your boss loudly shouting forbidding to do that because you are not allowed to invite clients to your work place.
You may share your experience at your office and the relations between your boss and his employees, and leave your comments what you do in such situations. If you have a lot of tensions, you are not just loosing a chance to stay in a good mood but you may also suffer from nervous stresses. www.obovseh.com is interested in your experience and many people (especially someone looking for a job at your company) would appreciate your sharing your experience about such "threatening" management. Take care!

The National Enquirer is up for a Pulitzer Prize.Before I ask you to wrap your mind around those nine words, let's review a little history about the Enquirer. First, it is interesting to note that the paper has been publishing continuously since 1926. I won't bore you with the long history of the paper, but if you're so inclined you can read about it here.
The Enquirer claims it has a circulation of over a million, and that more than nine million people actually read it each week. Those figures are probably high, especially in light of the fact that in the last couple of years the paper has imposed five-day unpaid furloughs on its employees. Papers do not do that unless finances are tight, and finances are not tight unless advertising is down. So, like other newspapers in the country, it is clear that the Enquirer is not cash-rich right now. However, as it turns out, there would be other kinds of riches awaiting the much-maligned Enquirer.
Who could have predicted it would take the sexual dalliances of a Democratic presidential candidate in 2008 to elevate the gravitas of what most Americans considered a rag? Up until candidate John Edwards gave in to his carnal desires with a campaign worker, the Enquirer had a loyal audience who couldn't resist its salacious editorial offerings, but who rarely really believed much of it. When it was revealed that the Enquirer was right about Edwards, suddenly a lot of us started scratching our heads in disbelief. Then the mainstream media slowly started reporting the story, as if they had initiated it. But the Enquirer was relentless in its coverage, which its owners today say they never paid for. Checkbook journalism had become synonymous with the National Enquirer, but not this time. It was not until the second week in August, 2008, when Edwards fessed about the affair on ABC News that any mainstream publication dared print the story.
All of this brings us back to the nine words: The National Enquirer is up for a Pulitzer Prize – the highest and most prestigious award in journalism. As one who still recalls the days when the Enquirer was running stories about psychic nuns giving birth to aliens, this news is surreal. But it brings forth a number of provocative questions: Why did mainstream media resist their journalistic obligation to pursue the story when the evidence presented itself? If we accept the Enquirer's contention that no money was paid for information, how did they break the story? And why will they not reveal how they initially got turned on to the story? Should they? They are not legally bound to do so, but from an ethical standpoint, before the Pulitzer board makes a decision, perhaps the Enquirer should come clean about how and from where this information was obtained.
Specifically, the Enquirer is up for investigative reporting and national news reporting awards. As a guy who was trained in traditional journalism, and one who today teaches journalism in a new media world, here is what I think: The Enquirer, despite its tactics, reputation and blatant resistance to conventional journalistic techniques, apparently 'gets' the new world of media, more than say, The Washington Post or The L.A. Times. The new world demands immediacy and stretching the limits of privacy. Why wouldn't the mainstream media pursue this story? Simple. They didn't go after the Edwards story because they underestimated the public's hunger and demand for insider information about high profile people. Some of them probably considered it, but not one of them had the cojones to publish anything about it, simply because the only source of information at the time was the National Enquirer.
Like it or not, we are now in the high tech universe of TMZ.com and Perez Hilton. The more advanced the technology becomes, the more the public expects to know. As far back as 1920, when Photoplay Magazine became the first real movie fan magazine, the public slowly developed its desire to know the inside story of its cultural icons. By the 1970s when People Magazine debuted with Mia Farrow on the cover, that hunger for juicy details seemed to peak. But the real peak had to wait another 25 years or so for the Internet to evolve. Today, celebrities, politicians and other high profile types can essentially kiss their privacy goodbye. Even when they sue for intrusion of privacy, they generally lose, unless they can prove a case of appropriation of their name or likeness. Unfortunately for the John Edwards of the world, appropriation does not extend to news coverage.
So, will the Enquirer win a Pulitzer for its coverage of the John Edwards baby daddy scandal? In every category that is awarded, the prize description includes the words "distinguished example." Was the Enquirer's reporting a distinguished example of investigation or national news? I have a feeling the Pulitzer board will not see it that way. After all, we do know some details of the Enquirer's methods here. Reporters apparently followed Rielle Hunter, Edwards' lover, to her obstetrician's office in order to secure photos of the pregnant woman. Reporters cornered John Edwards in a men's room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to confront him about the allegations of the affair and paternity. The paper did indeed pay for information about the John Edwards affair – even if they claim they did not pay for information that led to the exact stories that are up for a Pulitzer Prize. So, if we hold that the word "distinguished" refers to excellence, eminence or quality standards, it would seem the National Enquirer doesn't really cut it.
Still, don't forget this is not your father's media world. Remember, the anti-journalist, Matt Drudge was the first reporter to publish the name Monica Lewinsky with initial details of Bill Clinton's transgression. He was right and mainstream media followed his lead. Further, TMZ.com was the first media outlet to report that Michael Jackson was dead. The news was accurate and then CNN jumped on the bandwagon. The National Enquirer correctly reported in 2003 that Rush Limbaugh was addicted to painkillers, and this followed the paper's 2001 breaking news that Jesse Jackson had fathered a love child. Do not underestimate alternative, non-mainstream or new media. The truth comes at you from odd places these days, and whether those places are worthy of traditional industry awards remains to be seen. I, for one, am on the edge of my seat.

Former umpire John Holder alleged on Sunday that he was offered 10,000 pounds to help sway the course of a one-day international in the United Arab Emirates. Holder,who stood in 11 Tests,said the approach related to a match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Sharjah.
They said if I can somehow lull the Sri Lanka batsmen into putting on a partnership of 85 they would give me 10,000 pounds in cash, the 68-year-old Holder told BBC Radio's Test Match Special. I said,'You've got the wrong person'.
Holder,a former bowler for English county Hampshire,became a first-class umpire in 1983 and stood in 11 Tests and 19 ODIs from 1988 to 2001.
Amid recent corruption charges relating to the Indian Premier League,Holder was asked if he'd ever been approached to fix a match. I was in Sharjah in 1993 for a one-day international series between Sri Lanka,West Indies and Pakistan, he said.
I was introduced to a man and offered 10,000 pounds to make sure Sri Lanka batsmen put on a partnership of 85. He told me his syndicate were involved in making money as the game fluctuates.
I said,'You've got the wrong person'. Players and umpires who get involved in match-fixing have got to realise there's no such thing as easy money.
"Once you get into that,your career is ruined. You'd lose your self-respect,the players and commentators would know.

So it just dawned on me that the word 'turquoise' could have some relation to 'Turkey' since the first part of the words sounds the same. Turns out I was right! It's an old French word meaning 'Turkish stone', or pierre turquoise and though it's not from Turkey, most likely Iran I read, It got its name from being traded at Turkish bizarres. I'm a genius. Annnd since it's my favorite color, I should know its origins. ^^
Here's a link about it. 🙂

examines Ireland's 2004 Constitutional Amendment which removes birthright citizenship from any future Irish-born children of immigrant parents. I argue that for particular historical reasons, the ability of the state to convince its citizens of the necessity for this Amendment was remarkable and I suggest that it was able to do so by constructing citizenship as a moral regime and foreign-nationals and their foetuses as 'suspect patriots.' I describe how the notion of immorality is laminated upon black bodies – specifically black pregnant women – and how the presence of black migrant workers, refugees and asylees consequently comes to be experienced in Irish national space as transgressive, their political subjecthood constrained by the supposedly legible abjectivity of their bodies. The issue of race remains unenunciated, and yet, as the Minister for Justice stated during the referendum debate, "anyone with eyes can see the problem". The Irish government's privileging of moral rather than cultural incommensurability is strikingly similar to culturalist rhetorics of exclusion that are often invoked when race is at issue in European public debate on immigration. Configured upon, and therefore experienced as a type of body, immorality becomes an alibi for race and is naturalized as a form of exclusion and as a potential site of state intervention in the form of xenophobic legislation and policymaking. Reading this decision as merely racist however, fails to give voice to the experiences of Irish Citizens who voted for this Amendment. Their struggle to build a "New Ireland" and to accept a multiculturalist framework in the face of neo-liberal restructuring policies and a European-wide retreat from the welfare state must be considered as being in dialectical tension with the ideological smearing of immigrants if we are to fully grasp the complex interaction between relations of power and the privileging of difference.Tormey concludes that -
If the government had promoted this Amendment based on racial or cultural incommensurability, it would have run afoul of its self-proclaimed multiculturalist ethos. Instead, by juxtaposing Irish morality with that of foreign-national parents, failures in immigration policy could be displaced upon the victim, and their (supposedly) amoral being construed as unacceptable to a rational state. Reading morality as incommensurable difference brings to a head the kind of impasse anthropologists have already recognized between the themes of progressive liberal multiculturalism (rationality and morality) invoked in the Irish case. Povinelli, for example, describes a similar scenario for Australian Aborigines: a core obligation of liberalism is to decide public matters on the basis of autonomous, reasonable and rational subjects bracketing the social differences that exist among themselves and presenting to their fellow citizens the most robust, true, sincere and legitimate argument they can muster. Moral obligation – moral sensibility – is exactly where critical rationality is not (Povinelli, 2002).
In other words, there are social differences which liberal subjects experience as intractable – at the limit of their tolerance – and therefore unable to "bracket" even in the broader (rational) interests of multicultural harmony. Matters are complicated by the fact that there are two moralities at play here – the supposed moral degradation of foreign-national parents, and the moral obligation and sensibilities of a liberal society. It is the latter, and the outrage produced in the attempt to bracket the former, which produces what Povinelli refers to as "moments [which] may then be experienced as the failure of the guarantees of liberal regimes and may produce a complex range of subject experiences such as minor emotions, doubt, irritation, outrage and so on" (ibid:16). As Aretxaga has astutely noted, governments cannot, generally, sustain these moments of failure and so they direct themselves to producing "state power and national unity," in the forms so beautifully manifested by this citizenship amendment debate (Aretxaga, 2003).
During the 2004 politically mediated "crisis of immigration" Irish anxieties were laminated upon black bodies with such effect that a significant alteration to the Irish Constitution could be passed. These anxieties were generated in tension with fears concerning neoliberal economic reforms but also from doubts concerning Ireland's ability to protect its national interests within an international rights regime and what is widely perceived as an overweening and unaccountable EU structure. The propensity to blame socioeconomic ills resulting from recession and capitalist readjustments on immigrants is nothing new, but it is important for anthropologists to encourage policymakers and legislators to explore their complicated genesis as (politicized) relationships of inequity rather than accepting the simple reductionisms of racism and culturalism.
Having said that, the Irish case is illustrative of new ways in which the old story of race continues to be told. It is new in that race no longer has to be enunciated – indeed, politics dare not name it. In this post-race era there are many forms of difference (cultural, moral, ethnic, etc.), which, in usual and unusual ways, come to act as an alibi for race. Old threads are rewoven in new ways to achieve the same result. The issue of space and the potent imaginaries which surround the relationship of people to national territory is one such thread. Arendt demonstrated at the end of World War II that assumptions of naturalized boundedness hint at the transgressive nature of crossing boundaries and permit xenophobic states to criminalise unwanted immigrants (1951: 160-170.), (see also Malkki, 1995b). She recognized however, that the state is paradoxically necessary to guarantee the inalienable Rights of Man (1951: 292). Yet, legal scholars now question whether the promise of protection offered in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugee and the 1967 New York Protocol, has been eroded through EU-facilitated legislature such as the Asylum Procedures Directive, the above-mentioned Schengen Accord, Dublin Convention, and Dublin Regulation. Costello, for example, argues that "developed countries, led by the EU, continue to develop policies which deflect asylum seekers elsewhere, while paying lipservice to refugee protection (Costello, 2005: 35). In the case at hand for example, the Constitutional protections and rights afforded Irish citizen children are displaced by the state's interest in immigration control, a Constitutional situation Bhabha characterizes as "citizenship deficit" (Bhabha, 2003; Bhabha, 2004). While not advocating an open-door policy, Bhabha declares that excluding a child from citizenship "should ... be a last resort option, chosen only when overwhelming consideration of state security or public interest require it, but not as a convenient subsidiary instrument of defective immigration control" (Bhabha, 2003). In the contemporary asylum context, where the migrant body heightens the tension of mobility and sovereignty as perhaps never before, citizen- ship has become a central device by which the law distinguishes between those subject to it and served by it from those who are strangers (Galloway, 1999). The concomitant erosion of institutional protections for "the stranger" endangers human life, and calls for our careful attention to state policy and praxis. Among these threads of old and new, Foucault's well-known analysis of an array of state practices and discourses aimed at producing "docile" bodies to better order and control populations remains pertinent. In Discipline and Punish he maps what he calls "essential techniques" that meticulously inscribe "a political anatomy." (Foucault, 1979: 139). In the Irish case, statistics, notions about health and contagion, sexuality and reproduction as well as techniques of surveying, mapping, and census, were directed towards rendering legible the bodies of black, non-citizen mothers, and in the process, demonstrating that the government had them and the "crisis of immigration" under its control.
The electoral success of anti-immigrant platforms across the EU suggests that the approach of the Irish government is not unique among its EU partners. In a similar vein, as Aretxaga has noted for the post-September 11th context, "[s]tate officials deploy this legibility to create their own fictions of reality. These fictions of the state then turn into nightmares animated by utopian visions of efficiency and technological and bureaucratic control" (Aretxaga, 2003). Thus, in a telling moment of political insecurity the Irish state drew on a fiction of abuse it had been nurturing for quite some time. Dramas of the abuse of Irish hospitality, phantasms of excessive/instrumental fertility, and the spectre of a proliferation of immoral and unworthy character were phenomenologically animated by the bodies of black immigrant mothers, thereby naturalizing a new trope of exclusion and providing the government with an alibi for the kind of xenophobic intervention this Amendment exemplifies.
Yet, it would be a mistake to dismiss the racialized imaginaries and praxes of belonging represented in a "Yes" vote for this Amendment as ideologically right- wing. This Amendment is instructive precisely because it demonstrates how the protean qualities of racialized imaginaries are easily adapted to both populist and elite ends. In this sense, it is salutary to note how state and populist tracings of exclusion intertwine to support each other, thereby circumscribing who is included in the moral community. It shows that there are no simple oppositions between the platforms of right-wing/anti-immigrant politicians like LePen (France) and Fortuyn (The Netherlands) and the kinds of populism I discuss above. LePen, for example, appeals to xenophobes and the disenfranchised alike. Among many important lessons, this Amendment demonstrated that voters are greatly concerned about tracing belonging, about who can and cannot "be Irish". The manner in which this issue was resolved suggests that perhaps the more seminal question is "what does being Irish in the New Ireland mean"? As scholars, we must be attentive to the ways that modernizing discourses camouflage both new (moralist, culturalist, etc.,) and old (skin-based) racisms. It is for us to unravel the threads of exclusionary politics and its accompanying policy and legislation, especially, perhaps, when such solutions appear neither racist nor exclusionary, but the rational response of a dutiful government.

In a recent case, the Tax Court allowed a gift tax annual exclusion for gifts of interests in a family limited partnership.
The gift tax annual exclusion is available only for gifts of present interest, not for gifts of future interest. A present interest is an unrestricted right to immediate use, possession or enjoyment of property or the income from property.
With many family limited partnerships (FLPs), including the FLP in this case, restrictions are imposed on the ability of a partner to transfer an interest in the partnership (Estate of George Wimmer et al. v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2012-157, June 4, 2012). In the Wimmer case, partners could transfer partnership interests to existing partners or their relatives.
However, before an interest could be transferred to an outsider, the other partners had to approve the transfer. Since the donees did not have an unrestricted right to transfer their partnership interest to others, the court determined that the gifts of partnership interests were not gifts of a present interest in the equity of the FLP.
The court then went on to determine whether partners who received the gifts had a present interest in the income from the partnership. The court determined that a present right to income exists if:
1. The FLP will generate income;2. Some portion of that income would flow steadily to the recipients of the gifts; and3. That portion of the income could be readily ascertained.
Since the FLP assets consisted of publicly traded, dividend-paying stocks, the court determined that the first test was met. With respect to the second test, the court concluded that the general partner had a fiduciary responsibility to distribute income to the limited partners and, in fact, made such distributions. Finally, the third test was met because the partners could estimate their share of the income by looking at the dividend history of the securities held by the FLP.
Not all gifts of interest in FLPs will qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion, which is currently $13,000 per year per donee, or recipient. But this case demonstrates one set of circumstances in which the gift tax annual exclusion was available.

Old Books
I have come to like old books. If I have a choice between ordering a new edition of a book and combing the used book websites, its Alibris every time. I have acquired this strange matter of taste since coming into the Church in 1995; there are many classics of Catholic spiritual literature that are out of print and cannot be obtained except through web sites like Alibris. After I ordered the first couple of these books I noticed something that made me a fanatic for these books -- there is almost always something about the book, either what the author wrote or some indication in the physical appearance of the book, that reminds me that 30 years ago or more there was such a thing as a Catholic culture.
First, as I said, I am a convert; I did not grow up as a Catholic. I did grow up in a neighborhood with many Catholic families, not a few of whom I was friends with. I remember going out with these friends in high school and having to accommodate their meatless Friday observance. I remember their desire to eat out late on Saturday night and rise early for Mass on Sunday morning, to observe the rule that one ate nothing after midnight on Saturday night until one had attended Mass sometime on Sunday. It behooved one to go to Mass early. I remember all of that but was not a part of it. I say this because I may be mistaken in what follows and if I am, I ask forgiveness and understanding for my ignorance.
My friends took their religion seriously. They would not think of not going to Mass on Sunday, of having anything to eat before Mass, of not eating fish on Friday -- it just wasn't done. Their faith made a difference in their lives. For me, growing up Presbyterian, there was no such visible difference made in my life by my so-called faith; there were no rules of religious practice that had any effect on my day to day existence. That is the difference I noticed in the old books by Catholic spiritual writers -- they were Catholic and took it as a matter of course that Catholic readers spoke their language. It set one a bit apart to be Catholic and their Catholicism shows through in their writings. Just one minor example, one writer invokes St. Benedict and St. Bruno without bothering to explain who St. Bruno is; he takes it for granted that everyone knows who St. Bruno is. I've never heard of St. Bruno. Most of these authors refer to saints, as well as, customs and practices that were obviously familiar to any Catholic living 50 or 100 years ago that are now perhaps practiced by Catholics but not commonly written about. They talk about a person making regular acts of faith, acts of sorrow and resignation, acts of the will, etc. How often are these things spoken of today as if they were common practice in the spiritual life of most Catholics?
The difference also often shows in the things the former owners of these books did to the books. For example, one of the books I bought was from the library of Mary Manse College in Toledo. Inside the front cover there is a book plate with the library catalog information on it. The book plate is a black and white engraving of a nun holding a book in her hands surrounded by three or four young ladies, wearing what appears to be something akin to togas, sitting at her feet, on the floor, in rapt attention. One girl is sewing something, the others, if I remember correctly, are holding books or note books and are obviously enthralled with what the nun is saying. The library catalog info was handwritten on this book plate, in a nice lady's hand, with a fountain pen. Today we would think this kind of thing hokey, in fact, totally unsophisticated. Yet, there must have been a time when people took something like this seriously, or at least did not think it laughable. The book I am referring to was published in 1969, not that long ago.
I don't know if our times are better than those of, say, the 1950s or even late '60's, but they are different. Today, the lives of most Catholics are indistinguishable from those of their pagan neighbors; they often do not observe the Friday fast, seldom go to Confession, may have something to eat right before and/or right after Mass (sometimes something provided by the parish!), and may have no idea what an act of the will is. Josef Pieper, in the 1970s could write "Every child knows that in the list of the cardinal virtues fortitude comes third." Can we so easily toss off that kind of statement today? The loss of a Catholic culture means, I think, a loss of faith. I wish we could recover both.
In the mean time, I will continue to order old books.

Instead of judging those who have herpes, we could get EDUCATED about it. the most common response i have gotten since dating after being diagnosed is "well, its not your fault, there was nothing you could have done differently, i would never leave you for something as dumb as that." so for all you rude people out there, believe me, you can easily get it.

Chris and Kem from Love Island are about to release their first music single and the tittle of the song has raised some eyebrows. The song is titled "Little Bit Leave It", a catchphrase used throughout their time on the show, but one that was originally coined by Lethal Bizzle.
Now the legendary MC has caught wind of the pair's usage and has responded via a video clip online.
He said, "Kem and your other brudda… I don't know what his name is, Ross? You. You've taken my phrase fam…When you wanna go and do a song and make money from [it], then I have a problem with that. We need to have a conversation.". Check out his response below.
The label asked me if I wanna jump on the Kemp & Ross new single, I declined. I didn't hear it or know the tilte was #LittleBitLeaveIt 🤦🏾♂

|This packed rice bowl from Super Tamade cost only 328 yen.
|This large sushi roll cost only 198 yen.
Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street was our first stop of the day. (It was supposed to be the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, but I took so long to get ready we decided to skip it. ;-P) We explored the shops looking for souvenirs and other interesting things, and then it was time for lunch.
Okonomiyaki Chigusa
|Okonomiyaki Chigusa is in a small alley in Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street.
|This is how the alley looks from the side of the main shopping street.
You're probably going to miss this restaurant unless you're really looking for it. First, it's not on the main street; it's in one of the small alleys intersecting Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street. But you can use Google Maps to find it - that's what we did. Second, the store's name "Chigusa" is in Japanese. You'll have to look for these characters: 千草.
Here, okonomiyaki (お好み焼き), one of Osaka's specialties, is cooked on the table right in front of you. I think you can opt to cook it yourself, but of course, we chose to have an expert cook it for us. Hehe.
We ordered okonomiyaki and chow mein, each costing 950 yen. The okonomiyaki we chose had a big slab of pork in the middle, although you can't see it in the picture. The serving was a bit small, but delicious. I'd say it was more of a snack than a meal.
|Our half-cooked okonomiyaki and chow mein noodles.
So after finishing off every last morsel, we headed off to search for some korokke (コロッケ), Japan's beloved potato croquettes! It was no easy task and we almost gave up. Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street is loooong! In fact, it claims to be the longest shopping street in Japan.
Then we spotted some people lining up at a particular store. None of the other shops had queues, so we got curious and took a look. And darn if they weren't selling hot-off-the-fryer korokke!
|We quickly fell in line for those scrumptious korokke!
It was only later that I realized that the store was Nakamura-ya (中村屋), the famed korokke shop I wrote in our itinerary as a must-try. The also sold katsu (deep-fried breaded meats), but we bought the korokke. It cost 70 yen per piece.
|Korokke wo futatsu kudasai. (Please give me two korokke.)
|Finally got our hands on these famed potato croquettes!
We ate them while we explored the rest of Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street. They were so good we doubled back after reaching the far end to buy some more.
When it was getting dark, we decided it was time to get going to Hozenji Yokocho Alley where we would explore the collection of 60 small izakayas (Japanese-style pubs) near Hozenji Temple and eat dinner at Hanamaruken, but on the way to the train station, we spotted a takoyaki shop.
Takoyaki (たこ焼き) is also one of Osaka's specialties, so we thought we'd give it a try right on our second day in Japan. We bought 15 pieces for 700 yen as a snack. It was really creamy, delicious and filling that it ended up being our dinner. The large octopus pieces in the middle were tender, too.
|Regular flavored takoyaki on the left, spicy on the right.
I got up to snap a photo of their menu framed by the cash register, and that's when I saw that the name of the store was Wanaka (わなか). I had also written Takoyaki Wanaka in our itinerary as a must-try takoyaki shop. It seemed Lady Luck was on our side that day.
|Takoyaki Wanaka's menu
Fully satisfied, we decided to end our second day food trip.

- Peer Check In

|Lucas Working Hard
Today, like every other day, started with the Do Now. The Dow Now had questions on it about the reading Out of Bounds "The Noose." We got ten minutes to go work and finish this. Everyone in the class got their books out to help them answer the questions. Next we checked our answers with the person sitting next to us.
|Sebastian Editing
Next we opened our laptops to revise our partners summaries. We were supposed to fill in missing dates or important details. We had 20 minutes to go and critique. Once we finished revising, we got to tell our partners how they could improve.
Then we had a test on all the vocabulary words we learned so far this quarter and your understanding on Apartheid. Once we finished with the test we opened our computers to Quick write #2. We had to copy and paste our first draft and call it draft 2. Next we had to find places were we had weak verbs and replace them with strong verbs. Then find places were you have 3-4 adjectives and replace it with a strong verbs. Last highlight all strong verbs in light green.
HOMEWORK: read One Day Lily and answer the questions.

The incident occurred while attempting to try out a two-page layout I ordered from the Silhouette online store. I have not found any video tutorial for the "how-to" for a two-page download. Be aware that all of the elements are thrown onto the screen within Silhouette Studio in one big group. I began by ungrouping all of the elements and then began to fill color each piece for my own organization. Once all of the pieces were colored, I then began placing like colors on the "mat" to prepare for cutting. I was able to get all of the pieces on to four total cuts, less the photo mats which I can just cut to my own needs later.
My next dilemma was placing the cardstock onto the mat. All things were not squared off and I had to cut some papers at a diagonal. This too proved to be a challenge, but really the pieces turned out okay. I only need to cover up a few errors in my calculations for placement on the mat. Remember, there is always some way to cover up a mistake in paper crafting.
Now I am to gluing all the pieces together, I have dry placed them all and am quite pleased. My next challenge will be to figure out how to reduce the images all together to keep them all proportional. I have not found a truly good video demonstrating how to reduce the two-page layouts you purchase. As a reminder, all the pieces are all together on the mat once opened.
Here are the pieces all ready to be glued. Stay tuned... More research to come.
Do you have any Silhouette helpful hints? Please share below. Thanks.

Do You Remember When Summers Were This Fun???????????????????
And do you know who these girls are? They are the Bradley girls, daughter of Kate (Bea Benadarert) at the Shady Rest Hotel in....."Petticoat Junction!" From left to right are Linda Kaye, as Betty Jo, Lori Saunders, as Bobbie Jo, and Meredith MacRae , as Billie Jo.
I loved Betty Jo's red hair, and Bobbie Jo's blonde, but I wanted to be Lori Saunders, as Bobbie Jo!!!!!!!!!!!! She was the prettiest, to me, and, besides, I wanted that pink dress!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, the innocence of going to cool off in the local water tank, by the railroad tracks. That was what I wanted to do, myself, only there were no water tanks like this one, near me. Or anywhere else. Maybe this existed only in the South. Or in the mysterious, unknown fixed time the show seemed to take place in. Despite the girls' rather Sixties hairstyles, it certainly was not the present!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To think, I haven't been in water all Summer, save for the shower, and that does not count!
Summers just aren't what they used to be, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen some Numb3rs episodes before, at AXN, but I was not able to start it really. It's been a year since, and I have resolved to start all over after my brother asked me a simple Calculus question... and I couldn't answer. Let me explain... I have graduated from college three years ago. My course: Applied Mathematics. My previous job: Proofreader. My current job is supposed to be a little Math-related: Web Developer. But not if all you do is debugging. I don't remember my Math, well except Algebra. But that's not acceptable.
Okay, back to Numb3rs. First seven episodes. Done.
It was a little fast. But I could catch Charlie's (the great David Krumholtz) explanations most of the time, though. Thank goodness the writers make it a point to explain even the most basic of terms such as Composite and Prime numbers. But I wonder if real mathematicians talk like that in normal conversations. I mean the dialogues between Charlie and Larry (the physicist) are a little over the top, even if I imagine my past professors at school. They do talk like that sometimes, but not machine gun fast. Well... they are geniuses... so I guess it's probable.
Numb3rs is in its fourth season now. In the net, it has teamed up with Wolfram, the creators of Mathematica, to explain the Math behind Numb3rs. I've also found a Northeastern University math professor's blog where he comments on the television show.
Anyway, I think I'm inspired... to finally take my masters degree! Maybe at the start of school next year, I'll be lining up for registration. We have MS Applied Math in my city now.

A Memorable Get-Together
A bunch of "us" gathered together at the home of the "M" family for a Memorial Weekend BBQ on Saturday evening.
The Hostess with the Most-est & the Grill Master.
Their home is beautifully decorated in Americana-Chic. Not just for Memorial Day, but every day! Very, very cool.
It inspires me to finally frame and hang the reproduction copies of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
I've been squandering away for the past eight years.
And the food. The food. THE FOOD!! It was so wonderful, every bite of it.
Broccoli, Fumi, potato and jello salads. Cakes and brownies too!
And the meat… the tri-tip steaks and slow-cooked seasoned pork loins.
The young, tender chicken grilled to utter perfection.
No, we didn't eat the fluff-balls. They're more like pets than a main course.
Being the awesome fifth grade teacher that she is, Mrs. "M" hatched the little darlings as part of a class science project.
Everyone ate and had a great time. That is until a family fight broke out between Mrs. "M" and her sister "J".
Good thing I had my camera handy to document it all just in case. You never know when a good piece of blackmail will come in handy.
Apparently, the scuffle began with littl'sis divulging a little too much information. Of course, it was very entertaining for the rest of us.
Fantastic food, hot chicks and a cat fight. The "M's" sure know how to party.

Suzanne & Scott | Wedding Photography Glasgow
Where to start with Suzanne & Scott's wedding? I could start by saying how much in love they obviously are, or by how stunning a day it was, or by how beautiful the location was but I think I'll go with Suzanne & Scott's wedding was an absolute RIOT to photograph from start to finish :-D I honestly don't think I've laughed as much at a wedding in a long time and that is all down to Suzanne, Scott and all of their family and friends. I honestly struggled to find one photograph of the day where somebody wasn't laughing and that says it all really. The wedding was at The Culag Lochside Guest House in Loch Lomond which is simply a stunning location. Couple the stunning location with a beautiful day and you can see why Suzanne & Scott pretty much had the perfect day. For me however, the highlight just had to be Suzanne kicking the children off of the bouncy castle so she and Scott could have a go, superb :-D
Congratulations Suzanne & Scott, your wedding is a wedding I'll remember for a long time :)

A blog to keep family and friends up to date with what's new with Olga, Chris, Lara, Danny, Mishka and Jackson.

The First School Run and other things!
Today was a big day - our first School Run. We fulfil the requirement of having a big 4x4, but we failed miserably on the rubbish, selfish parking aspect that is required for a proper School Run; we're lucky that the Marlow Day Nursery has a large car parking area, and we were quite early - 8.10am. The plan is to get Lara to nursery this early so the staff can give her her porridge rather than us feeding her at home, and to this end we need to get her there well before 8.30, which is when "breakfast feeding time" finishes.
Lara has her own peg in the babies room, and her raincoat has her name written in for the time being, until the name tags I've ordered arrive and Olga sows them into Lara's clothes.
We'll pop in to check on her at lunchtime today, but secretly so she doesn't know we're there, in case this upsets her. We're pretty confident that she'll be OK, she seems to enjoy the company of other children, and didn't mind at all when left there for an hour on Friday morning. 8 hours might be a different matter of course!
We'll be popping in because we'll be driving past on the way to pick Mishka up from kennels; it was strange to come home yesterday afternoon from the wedding reception and not hear Mishka yelping as soon as he sees us pull up in the car. It did make things a little easier this morning when we getting things ready, as I didn't have to walk him and it was one less job to do, but it'll be great to get him back home again, and see how excited he is to see us again.
Other Lara news - she is now officially a Dual National; Olga checked on the Russian Embassey's website today and Lara's Russian Citizenship has been confirmed, so we can proceed with the application for her Russian passport, which should be a formality, once we've filled in the required forms in duplicate and had six more photographs taken.

In May, Denny's launched a new on-the-go option for its restaurants. According to a recent article in Nation's Restaurant News, this initiative has been lucrative for the brand and contributed to successful earnings in the second quarter.
This 'Denny's on Demand' option gives consumers the ability to place orders via mobile app or on the web. The mobile ordering app was created with the brand's partner, Olo, and most Denny's locations have adopted the software.
Takeout is not the only initiative the brand is exploring. CEO John Miller said, "Where available we also launched delivery via Olo's Dispatched Delivery Network and a number of restaurants have signed separate additional third-party delivery agreements."

Points of view are points of view, and hopefully I can get some people who have something to say about the arts to participate in this blog. Ideas for development, promotion, and organization of arts communities in our state and specifically in Hancock County will also be important to the content and for the readers.
I really don't need another thing to do, but this could make a difference to someone, if only to myself as a resource to vent various frustrations I see around me.
