Cell Phone Radiation
[courtesy Google Images]
It's seems certain that cell phones cause brain cancer, memory loss, breast cancer in women, and diminished fertility in men. While these cell phone radiation problems certainly occur, their incidence is unclear. Will cell phones cause brain cancer in one user in five? Or one user in 5,000?
It's also certain that (no matter what the incidence of cell-phone cancers) people stand in long lines to be the first "kids on their block" to buy the most recent, coolest, most powerful and versatile cell phones. People die in car wrecks while they're intently texting on their cell phones. People might give up their cars, before they abandon their cell phones.
People really love their cell phones. Cell phones aren't a mere communications tool; they're obsessions and a way of life. I doubt that many people will give up their cell phones until they, or someone they love, has personally suffered brain cancer that can be attributed to cell phones. The incidence of the cell phone cancers may have to be very high before average users will give up their "beloved" cell phones.
So, it'll be interesting to see if rising reports of cell phone cancer will have much impact on the cell phone market.
I don't own a cell phone, but looking at the phenomenon from the outside, it appears that cell phones may be almost as addictive as tobacco. Just as it took several decades of warnings to persuade people to stop smoking, it may take a number of years to convince "cell-phone-lovers" to abandon their cell phones. Like crack, cell phone users know cell phones are bad for them, but they won't easily quit their addiction.
Given the number of cell phones used around the world, cell phones may be one of the means by which the elite dramatically reduces the the global population.
But cell phones aren't necessarily headed for oblivion. Let's suppose someone invented a metallic "mask" that covered the side of your head where you normally held your cell phone . . . or maybe a helmet that covered most of your head that shielded your head and brain from cell phone radiation–would it sell? What about a metallic holster for your cell phone that women could carry in their bras and men could carry in their pants. If those holsters allowed your cell phone to work but also shielded your body from cell phone radiation, would those holsters sell? I think so.
The next big technological push in cell phones may be to create cell phone towers that are so sensitive that the next generation of cell phones can function with much lower levels of radiation. Instead of arguing that Verizon cell phone enjoy the largest areas of coverage, Verizon might advertise that their cell phone generate only half as much radiation as their competitors. Would you instantly switch to Verizon if their cell phones generated 50% less radiation than your current cell phone. I'll bet you would, and I'll bet that almost everyone would do the same.
The next cell phone manufacturer who can devise a technology that dramatically reduces cell phone radiation could corner the market in 90 days.
But, while we wait for the inevitable development of that low-radiation technology, it appears certain that current cell phones cause brain cancer. Whatchu gonna do?
One thing you should do is ensure that your children have no more access to cell phones than to alcohol. If it were up to me, it would be illegal to open a cell phone account for anyone under 18.

Knowledge Alliances are transnational, structured and result-driven projects, notably between higher education and business. Knowledge Alliances are open to any discipline, sector and to cross-sectoral cooperation. The partners share common goals and work together towards mutually beneficial results and outcomes.
As a general rule, Knowledge Alliances target the cooperation between organisations established in Programme Countries. However, organisations from Partner Countries can be involved in a Knowledge Alliance, as partners (not as applicants), if their participation brings an essential added value to the project. A full list of possible project activities can be found in the Erasmus+ Program Guide.
Knowledge Alliances are transnational and involve minimum six independent organisations from at least three Programme Countries, out of which at least two higher education institutions and at least two enterprises.
Project application is submitted by an institution, from a programme country on behalf of the consortium, to the Executive Agency in Brussels (EACEA).
More details about Knowledge Alliances projects can be found on the EACEA webpage.

VINTON — The Benton County sheriff killed in the line of duty nearly 80 years ago is being memorialized.
A bust of Benton County Sheriff Leland Fry was unveiled Tuesday at the courthouse in Vinton. Cedar Rapids station KCRG reports that the bust will be displayed inside the building until May and then be moved to a pedestal on the lawn outside.
Fry lost his life in 1938 trying to arrest someone who escaped from custody. Organizers say the county didn't have the money for a memorial project during the Depression years and World War II. His slaying was largely forgotten until little more than a year ago, when a committee formed and raised more than $12,000 in donations.

The word frenulum can also refer to the muscular connection that can be felt on the underside of the tongue.
There are more nerve endings near the underside called the frenulum where the foreskin is attached and around the head (the corona), and more girth, generally speaking.
In particular, the frenulum is a very erogenous region known as the "sex nerve" in France that is either ablated during circumcision or is extremely underdeveloped on the circumcised penis.
Immediately behind the external urethral orifice it forms a small secondary reduplication, attached along the bottom of a depressed median raphé, which extends from the meatus to the neck; this fold is termed the frenulum of the prepuce.
From the inferior end of the longitudinal sulcus, a white band, termed the frenulum veli, is prolonged downward to the anterior medullary velum; on either side of this band the trochlear nerve emerges, and passes forward on the lateral aspect of the cerebral peduncle to reach the base of the brain.
On either side lateral to the frenulum is a slight fold of the mucous membrane, the plica fimbriata, the free edge of which occasionally exhibits a series of fringe-like processes.
She sucks cool air into her mouth, making him shiver at the sudden temperature differential and then pulls off, just keeping the head inside her mouth, her tongue circling wildly around the frenulum before plunging him back into her mouth as far as she can reach.

Belanger was not wearing a mouthguard and Bergeron's stick - a composite model wrapped in Kevlar to make it more durable - tore a labial frenulum (a muscle attachment) inside his mouth.
He had an abysmal latch and had to have his frenulum clipped but not before my nipples were savaged and bleeding.
Sounds like my similar experience with an equally voracious eater with a tight frenulum and one inverted nipple (me).
Ah, you're right, mollusque. Frenum is usually reserved for the tongue thingy. Thanks for pointing that out.

Group claims attack on German ambassador's home
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — An organization calling itself Popular Fighters Group claimed responsibility Tuesday for a December shooting attack on the German ambassador's residence in Athens.
The group sent a 20-page manifesto to the weekly satirical newspaper To Pontiki saying the shooting, in which nobody was hurt, was a response to Greece's financial crisis and Germany's role in enforcing Greek financial reforms.
Gunmen riddled the official residence of Ambassador Wolfgang Dold with bullets from two AK-47 assault rifles in the attack on Dec. 30, but no one was hurt. Police recovered more than 60 bullet casings
The group said it carried out the shooting in memory of a man who had committed suicide in the Greek capital's main Syntagma Square in April 2012 for financial reasons.
In the manifesto, which To Pontiki published on its website, the group also claimed to have fired a rocket at the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz on the outskirts of the Greek capital on the night of Jan. 12, as part of a "campaign against the German capitalist machine."
Late Tuesday, police located a crater they believe may have been caused by the rocket in a field near houses in the vicinity of the Mercedes-Benz building, but no traces of a projectile.
Germany is the single largest contributor to the international rescue loans Greece has been relying on since 2010. In return for the bailout, the country has had to impose deep austerity measures that have increased unemployment and lowered living standards for many Greeks. Germany has been seen as one of the harshest critics of Greece's progress in reforms.
Popular Fighters Group had opened fire at the headquarters of Greece's governing center-right New Democracy party near central Athens in Jan. 2013 in another attack that caused no injuries.

As of 1 August 2016, new specific legislation on fiscal regularisation entered into force in Belgium. A specific tax levy is provided for the regularisation of undeclared income and undeclared capital.
No deadline is foreseen in the legislation. However, as of 2017, the regularisation will be more expensive every year.
Regularisation of income tax
The new law is a federal law that regulates the regularisation of evaded income tax. The legislation is not applicable for evaded inheritance tax. Inheritance tax falls under the authority of the Regions.
Non-prescribed capital income for income tax purposes
For levying income tax over capital income, a seven year fiscal limitation period is the standard.
Taxable capital income that is not prescribed during 2016 (interest and dividends earned as from 1 January 2009) can be disclosed at the normal income tax rate of the income year, i.e. at a tax rate of 15% or 25% for interest, and 25% for dividends.
As a sanction, a penalty of 20 percentage points applies. This means that the total tax burden equals up to 35% or 45% for interest and 45% for dividends.
The penalty will increase every year as from 2017:
- In 2017 up to 22 percentage points;
- In 2018 up to 23 percentage points;
- In 2019 up to 24 percentage points; and
- In 2020 up to 25 percentage points.
No interest for late payment is due according to the law.
Prescribed capital for income tax purposes
Prescribed capital during 2016 (in principal the capital on 31 December 2008) can be disclosed at a uniform tax rate of 36%.
This uniform tax rate will increase every year as from 2017:
- In 2017 up to 37 percentage points;
- In 2018 up to 38 percentage points;
- In 2019 up to 39 percentage points; and
- In 2020 up to 40 percentage points.
No interest for late payment is due according to the law.
A Belgian resident holds a foreign bank account in 2016 with a total balance of 150.000 EUR. The account has never been reported in Belgium. No income tax over the capital income was paid in Belgium.
The balance of the account on 31 December 2008 was equal to 100.000 EUR. The increase with 50.000 EUR consists of dividends.
The financial cost of the regularisation is in principle 36.000 EUR (36% over 100.000 EUR) over the prescribed capital and 22.500 EUR (45% of 50.000 EUR) over the received dividends.
The total cost of the regularisation equals 58.500 EUR.
Regularisation procedure
The regularisation notification must be submitted with the "Contactpunt regularisaties" in Brussels through a specific declaration form that hasn't yet been published in the Belgian Official Gazette.
The notification must be submitted with the necessary attachments, including a fraud scheme, as evidence of the capital income and prescribed capital.
After treatment of the file, the taxable person receives a written request to pay the regularisation tax within 15 calendar days. After payment, the taxable person will receive a regularisation certificate.
Immunity from criminal prosecution
The legislation foresees, after payment of the tax, an immunity from criminal prosecution for the person submitting the regularisation notification.
Declaration form
We will inform you once the declaration form for regularisations is published in the Belgian Official Gazette.

Have you ever thought, not merely about the airplane but about whatever man builds, that all of man's industrial efforts, all his computations and calculations, all the nights spent over working draughts and blueprints, invariably culminate in the production of a thing whose sole and guiding principle is the ultimate principle of simplicity? ... In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.
Antoine de Saint Exupery Wind, Sand and Stars
The writer of the above was an airline pilot who, for eight years in the late 1920s and early 30s, flew a postal route between Toulouse in southwestern France and Dakar in French West Africa. In the very beautiful book I've quoted from above, he wrote about his experiences in early aviation — that and much, much more. "Saint X" (as my French teacher in college, bless her soul, called him) had a remarkable gift of writing passages that remain etched indelibly in the minds of many of his readers, long years after their first exposure, in college, in French, to "The Little Prince" and "Wind, Sand and Stars."
What he wrote about the engineer's quest for perfection ending only when design no longer has anything left to strip away, resonates in a way especially applicable to the legislative and executive structures churned out in Washington (or for that matter, in Columbia, S.C.) today.
Simplicity. Brevity. Understandability. Digestibility. These are qualities routinely ignored by the immense bureaucracies that now govern our lives in America. Every walled-in bureaucrat who toils away in some office on Capitol Hill, in the Pentagon, the State Department, the Internal Revenue Service, the White House Executive Office Building, etc., secretly lusts to hang at least one bulb on the towering Christmas tree his or her agency currently decorates with endless strings of no lights, no illuminations.
Let me state this clearly: Simplicity is next to godliness. And both are disappearing at a frightening pace in the computer-driven world we live in. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is. The digital universe is not inevitable. It is merely irritating and outrageously bland and un-poetic.
The crafters of monstrosities like the 2,700-page Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and the even more abominable (no tortured pun intended) nine-million-word-plus U.S. tax code, seem not to know the meaning of the word simplicity. Those who write such confusing nonsense as the two examples cited seem to operate on a guiding principle to let no opportunity pass to add to their work product's unintelligibility. It's almost as if they delight in frustrating their bewildered fellow Americans who, under penalty of law, are required to comply with the lawyerly gibberish they crank out.
Who's really running the ship of state? Is it the people we elect, or the camp followers who accompany them to the seats of power? Was it not a remarkable tip-off when former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass this [the Affordable Care Act] so we can find out what's in it."
Think of the incredible army of tax lawyers, accountants, lobbyists, "navigators" and other diviners of the Washington crystal ball engaged to interpret the thousands upon thousands of rules and regulations written by faceless zealots to keep not just Obamacare from careening off track, but the very wheels of our increasingly intrusive government turning. Think of the nearly two trillion dollars sucked out of potential U.S. economic growth by the compliance cost of government's onerous and incomprehensible diktats.
In an incisive article published in the June 19th Wall Street Journal, Niall Ferguson mines this prophetic gem from Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America: "[The regulatory state] rarely forces one to act, but it constantly opposes itself to one's acting; it does not destroy, it prevents things from being born; it does not tyrannize, it hinders, compromises, enervates, extinguishes, dazes, and finally reduces [the] nation to be nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals of which the government is the shepherd."
"If that makes you bleat with frustration, there's still hope," Ferguson concludes.
I couldn't have said that better myself.

The La Salle University Jazz & Pep Band is a student-run organization. Students get to decide what to play and where to play — with the help of Director Chuck Hallahan and Faculty Adviser Greg Fala, of course. Besides supporting the Explorers at every home basketball game (as well as at the A-10, NIT, and NCAA Tournaments), the band conducts various service trip performances. These trips have ranged from performing big band hits for the elderly at Holy Redeemer Lafayette to traveling to Toronto and teaching students at a local Christian Brother school various jazz techniques. Naturally, the band hopes go on more large-scale service trips such as the 2005 Toronto trip sometime in the future. In the meantime, you'll be sure to catch us at the A-10 Tournament in Brooklyn, the Christmas Village in Center City, and the Spring Concert in our very own Dan Rodden Theatre!
Give us a try.
If you are unsure about playing music in college, we strongly encourage you to join us first before deciding. Many do so and stick with us throughout their years at La Salle.
No audition necessary.
When you arrive at your first rehearsal, we will discuss your placement within the group.
By participating in the band, you can enhance yourself as a musician and student while supporting athletics, performing in concert, or even bringing cheer to inner-city youth.

BP Oil Spill and the Environment
The BP oil spill lasted 3 months and caused great changes to the environment in the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast & water ways of Louisiana. These are just some of the negative interactions that occurred, and a few ways to stop and prevent this.

Transcript of BP Oil Spill and the Environment
BP Oil Spill and the Environment by lilianfan 72 Negative Interactions of.. Other Negative Interactions? ALSO How has the oil spill affected interactions between abiotic and biotic elements? The oil poisioned the water, killing the fish and sea animals, and their natural habitats. By doing so, animals like sea turtles and dolphins must relocate to another location, affecting the ecosystem in the Gulf. Since water is like oxygen for sea animals, the oil slick contaminates the water, killing several marine animals like shellfish and crabs because they don't have a clean habitat to live in. ...this food chain! Due to the oil spill, fish in the Gulf aren't as plentiful as they were before. Therefore, the fisheries cannot catch as much fish as they need to make a living. Because of this, several fishermen are losing their jobs and they can't support their families. How can we clean this oil up? One thing we can do is use booms to surround the area covered by the oil slick, then skim the oil with boats that can suck oil from the water. Booms surrounding water while boat cleans oil slick. Another way is to use sorbents. Sorbents are large sponges that absorb oil from the water. Since sorbents can absorb many times of their own weight of liquids, they'll be very useful in the clean up of this oil spill. Sorbents soaking up oil We can also set the oil on fire, which is called 'in situ burning'. In situ burning is the most efficient way to clean up the oil because it has a 90% removal rate and can remove some of the thickest slicks. In Situ Burning However, in situ burning creates toxic smoke which can kill when inhaled. So, the burning process must be done away from nearby coastel homes and settlements. How can we prevent this from happening again? Before taking the oil out of the well, drill relief wells FIRST! Just in case another methane bubble explodes again, another well will already be there to prevent more oil from leaking out. The oil slick contaminates the top layer of the water, killing the algae that lives there. Since the algae died, small marine animals like shrimp don't have any food to eat and they'll die. If the shrimp die, the fish won't have any food to eat, and they'll die aswell. The fish that haven't died would most likely be poisoned by the oil slick and die after. The fishermen cannot catch the fish because they're dead or too hazardous to consume. If all parts of this food chain die, the ecosystem will cease to exist. Because the oil spill occured, the fish will beocme posioned and die. If they die, fishery companies will lose their jobs and money because there isn't any fish to catch. The oil has caused destruction of natural habitats for animals like coral reefs and sponges. There have been several wildlife fatalities and the oil washed up onto the land is also affecting land animals and plants like pelicans or grass. When constructing the wells, build stronger legs and support so the wells is less likely to collapse. Train people to become aware of oil that has infected seafood like fish, crabs and shrimp. The End! :)Full transcript

Special Considerations for Endoscopists on PEG Indications in Older Patients
Geriatric Surgery Unit, Geriatric Department, Padova University and General Hospital, Via Giustiniani 1, 35100 Padova, Italy

Undernutrition in frail elderly people is a pathological condition that needs to be recognized and addressed early. Neurological dysphagia is among the most frequent causes of this condition in the elderly but should be considered a terminal event in Alzheimer-type dementias. Tube feeding is an important resource for facilitating metabolic recovery in cachectic patients and is particularly successful in "bridging" and stabilizing therapies prior to major treatment able to cure the patient. Clinical management of tube feeding in "incurable" conditions is complex and becomes part of the palliative care and comfort provided in the terminal stages of illness. Non-specialized physicians are often unfamiliar with the theory and practice of end-of-life interventions, and the resulting decisions are in many cases actually contrary to patient comfort. These problems deserve to be more carefully addressed when the patient is unable to cooperate or express his/her preferences and needs. The success of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy has led to increasingly frequent referrals for placement in critically ill elderly patients. Endoscopists therefore become a key figure in stimulating rational, correct treatment of these patients.

Strategic Reinforcement Design
Concrete flatwork – slabs on grade or paving – is the working platform of businesses today. In distribution, warehousing, freight/logistics, food, retail and manufacturing industries, the performance you and your clients demand is primarily defined by your storage systems, material handling requirements, expectations of your customer and employee safety. Demanded performance is delivered by the serviceability of the concrete.
The long-term serviceability and durability of concrete flatwork is delivered most effectively and cleanly through management of the natural behavior of concrete. The Strategic Reinforcement Design mitigates internal and external induced restraint and stress to optimize the load carrying capacity of the concrete while concurrently delivering the joint stability required by technologically-advanced material handling equipment and all types of vehicular traffic. It is proven that this performance is delivered with the minimum quantity of materials to support the function of the flatwork.
"Strategically Reinforced" concrete flatwork minimizes joint spalling and random cracking with a well-compacted sub-grade, joints strategically placed to mitigate cracks and the use of tapered plate dowels with substantial installation tolerances at all the joints. The Strategic Reinforcement Design is easily executable and replicable as it is transparent in its design and execution and excludes complex additional materials and allows for the sole use of locally available materials in the concrete.
- Facility interior and exterior
- Warehouses
- Distribution facilities
- Parking – slab and paving
The Strategic Reinforcement Design combines the Diamond Dowel® System and PD3 Basket® assembly with minimal steel to reliably deliver joint stability without restraint. Adding HydraCure™ curing covers to the design provides a proper cure and improves long-term abrasion resistance and aesthetics.
- Manages natural characteristics of concrete such as curling and shrinking
- Delivers joint stability
- Minimizes joint spalling
- Allows for good subgrade preparation
- Provides engineered joint spacing
- Minimizes restraint to movement of the concrete that could result in cracking
- Optimized use of steel with the engineering and geometry of the plate dowel
- Cost savings with product and labor through performance-based spacing
- Readily constructible design
- Speed of construction – no misalignment on job site and no staking, drilling or spinning of dowels
The Strategic Reinforcement Design is easy for the contractor to install during placement operations, reduces labor costs from historical methods, reliably manages the effect of curling and provides positive and immediate load transfer at the joints. This results in superior joint stability for the delivery of a cost-effective, durable, maintenance-free and safe concrete slab.
The Strategic Reinforcement Design has realized a return on investment for owners, designers and contractors worldwide in more than two billion square feet of concrete placed.
The Strategic Reinforcement Design combines the Diamond Dowel® System and PD3 Basket® assembly to reliably deliver joint stability without restraint. Adding HydraCure™ curing covers optimizes durability.

I am a 'seeker of truth'. I look for logic, for evidence, beyond mystery. It is not enough to just believe without reason.
Yet, my experiences have left me with the illogical, the mysterious.
About twenty years ago, when I was in my mid thirties and attending an Evangelical church, I experienced a series of strange wonderful life-changing sensations, which at the time, I described as far better than sex. They always happened in the depths of night; I would awake to feel a physical movement in my chest and an overpowering intensity of love that could only be described as bliss. My whole being, body, mind and soul, reacted in worship. This occurred for about 6 weeks then suddenly stopped, never to return again.
My logical mind tried to make sense of this. I concluded that there is a presence, entity, God, or whatever you would like to call this pure love. However, it changed my faith. This presence did not have any physical appearance, or identity. There was no sense of it being Jesus. Although I am in full agreement with the teachings of Jesus, a follower of his principles, rather than a follower of the man, I could no longer describe myself as a Christian.
Twenty years on, I'm left with believing that there is a spiritual being that loves me passionately, indeed, loves each and every one of us, but, where do I go from here?
Where did I go wrong? Why did this encounter stop? Was it my fault, was I too sinful?
People might cynically suggest that I had some great need; that it was self-induced hypnosis. At the time, life was relatively good, without any major problems; just the usual day to day struggles of making a living and bringing up a family. And, if it was down to suggestion of any kind, I would want the experience to stay with me, to repeat at it at will. Sadly, it hasn't ever happened again.
I have been changed. I feel more love for people, but like them less. I no longer see organised religion as attractive in any way. I cannot reconcile the actions of its members with the messages they proclaim. I want nothing less than this real presence of God.
How to go back and rediscover paradise? Please tell me if you know.

Slam City isn't a game in itself. Rather, it's a WWE website for kids that allows them to play games, such as "Superstar Switcher" and "Launcher." The Slam City website also offers other entertainment options, such as exclusive videos and printable posters.
The "Launcher" game starts off with a short comic explaining the story behind the game. The goal is to help the superstar get to his job at the Greasy Lube on time. To do this, players need to launch the in-game character into the air and control his distance using a jet pack.
Players use the computer mouse to control "Launcher." The first step is to click and hold the left mouse button while pulling back and directing the direction of the superstar. Once players are happy with the position, they let go of the button to send him flying.
Once in the air, clicking and holding the left mouse button turns on the jet pack. Players have a limited amount of fuel, which drains every second that they hold down the button. To get as far as possible, they have to bounce off good objects, such as birds and blimps, while avoiding bad objects, such as helicopters, planes and hot dog carts on the street. When the superstar lands, the players receive a score based on the distance traveled.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: September 5, 2007
DOE Announces Results of Annual Survey of Teacher Content Expertise
New Jersey's continued progress in ensuring that its teachers meet the training and expertise required by NCLB was announced at today's regular monthly meeting of the State Board of Education.
According to the survey, 99 percent of New Jersey teachers meet the "highly qualified" designation while 1.2 percent do not meet the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) definition of "highly qualified" in every core subject that they teach.* Approximately 1,300 teachers surveyed in 2006-07 still must satisfy the requirements of the highly qualified teacher (HQT) definition.
New Jersey has also made dramatic gains in closing the gap between the number of classes taught by highly qualified teachers in high poverty schools and low-poverty schools. The size of the gap has narrowed from 10 percent in 2004-05, to just 1.6 percent in 2006-07.
In last year's survey, 95.9 percent of New Jersey teachers were reported to be highly qualified.
This year marks the fourth year that all states must report the HQT status of their teachers. To date, no state has met the federal HQT goal of 100 percent.
"The results of this year's survey indicate that with nearly 99 percent of our teachers meeting the NCLB definition of highly qualified, we are on track to have all teachers meet the HQT requirement," said Commissioner of Education Lucille E. Davy. "The results also show that there is a clear commitment by schools across the state to achieve this goal.
"I am particularly proud of the progress schools have made to ensure a more equitable distribution of highly qualified and experienced teachers in our high-needs districts," Commissioner Davy continued.
To satisfy the federal HQT definition, teachers must:
Commissioner Davy noted that the NCLB definition of "highly qualified teacher" is based solely on whether the teacher has attained specific credentials to demonstrate subject content expertise.
In the early years of the implementation of NCLB, states were allowed to create an alternative method for teachers to demonstrate their content knowledge for the core academic subject(s) they teach. Use of the HOUSE (High Objective Uniform State Evaluation) standard expired on June 30, 2007 and can no longer be used as a method to achieve HQT.
According to the 2006-07 survey, the number of classes taught by highly qualified teachers in New Jersey continues to increase, with 99 percent of low-poverty classes and 97.4 percent of high poverty classes taught by teachers who meet the HQT criteria. At the elementary (K-8) level, 98.8 of classes in low-poverty districts and 97.9 percent of classes in high poverty districts were taught by HQTs. At the secondary level, 98.3 percent of the low-poverty classes and 93.3 percent of the high-poverty classes were taught by HQTs.
Classes with the lowest percent of HQT are special education and world languages. The state will continue to provide technical assistance to all districts that have not met the HQT goal. In addition, districts that have not met the goal must outline strategies they will use to assist teachers who are not yet highly qualified.
In the coming year, the New Jersey Department of Education will continue to implement an equity plan which focuses on increasing the number of experienced and highly qualified teachers in high-poverty districts and to monitor local HQT plans to ensure that they contain the recruitment and retention strategies necessary to ensure that teachers are highly qualified.
Key strategies in the state's equity plan include:
The United States Education Department will monitor New Jersey's ongoing efforts to meet the 100 percent HQT goal.
A summary of the 2007 Highly Qualified Teacher Survey results can be found here: http://www.nj.gov/education/data/hqt/07/. Reporters, DOE will host a reporters-only conference call on this issue today at 3:30 p.m. For information on how to access the call, please contact the DOE Public Information Office at (609) 292-1126.
* In years prior to 2006, New Jersey has reported this information as "the percentage of classes taught by an HQT." However, NCLB requires that states report these data as the "percentage of classes that are not taught by an HQT."

Lost Time
March zipped by with almost no posts, but so much happened I have a back log in my brain! There was the SXSW Interactive conference which always means brilliant people and non stop activity. We also celebrated Andrew's birthday for 3 weekends in a row, and that ended with another trip, this time to NY. I'll probably be processing last month for the next two. Good stuff, just a lot to take in.
In March, I also finished the 3rd draft of my novel. Yay! This is the first time I haven't felt like I'm setting the book aside for a period of percolation, which I think means I'm getting close. Instead of bubbling, it's slowly rising on the counter while I attempt to zip through freelance assignments. Hopefully it'll hold up during my read through.
I saw a video today that totally made me tear up. It's of a pup who survived the tsunami and was reunited with his person. Watch to the end because the rescue is unbelievable:
I love that Japan honors pups and they sent a helicopter out to rescue this one. Hachiko was devoted to his person, and now people are devoted right back.

Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Joh 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Joh 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Ro 12:10 [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Ga 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of Yahweh, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
1Th 3:12 And Yahweh make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all [men], even as we [do] toward you: 13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before Elohim, even our Father, at the coming of our Master Yahushua Messiah with all his saints.
1Th 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of Yahweh to love one another.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pe 3:8 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
1Jo 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
1Jo 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Yahushua Messiah, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jo 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of Yahweh; and every one that loveth is born of Yahweh, and knoweth Yahweh.
1Jo 4:11 Beloved, if Yahweh so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen Yahweh at any time. If we love one another, Yahweh dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
2Jo 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1Pe 2:17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear Yahweh. Honour the king.
1Jo 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love [of Yah], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of Yahweh in him?
1Pe 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1Jo 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1Jo 4:20 If a man say, I love Yahweh, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love Yahweh whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth Elohim love his brother also.
Le 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] Yahweh.
Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Mt 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Mr 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of Yahweh, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
Lu 8:21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of Yahweh, and do it.
Mt 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Lu 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Mt 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Yahushua saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his master commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Master, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their master all that was done. 32 Then his master, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his master was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
(Continued from Mt. 18:15 above) 16 But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the assembly: but if he neglect to hear the assembly, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Ps 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.To slander is to defame or speak evil of falsely to another. If we are going to speak of someone doing something wrong to us, then according to scripture, we should discuss the sin with that brother first. And if he won't hear you then bring it to the attention of two or three other brethren. And if he still won't hear you then tell it to the entire congregation. If he won't hear them then separate that man from the congregation that he may be ashamed and repent.
Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Ga 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without Yahweh judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
2Th 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Master Yahushua Messiah, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
2Th 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
Jas 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Ps 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

The Chest Cycle In Clash Royale Is Very Important To The Game
Anyone playing popular games these days knows about Clash Royale. It is a very popular game app that most people play on their phones. There are many things to do when playing this game. One of the things you have to be on the lookout for is the chest cycle in Clash Royale. When I was writing about this in a previous article, I spoke about the clan chest that become available from time to time. However, there are plenty of other chests that you get to open, and there are chest cycles to know about.
For example, you have a certain number of slots to put silver, gold and other chests in to open. You can unlock one at a time, and each type of chest has a different time limit. You can also choose to open chests instantly or as the time clock runs down using gems. Then you also have to take into account the free chests that you are given to open each day.
So in actuality, there are plenty of chests to open when playing Clash Royale. These chests are given freely, given to you when you win and also given out collectively to clans based on their team effort. Now that you know more about the chest cycle in Clash Royale, you are going to be better equipped to make sure you get all those chests to open.
You want to have a good time playing the game, and you want to make sure you are helping out your clan. That being said, make sure you especially pay attention to the chest cycle for the clan chests in this game. And if you want to level up, you have to keep on making sure that those chests in those slots for your wins are on a timer so that they open.

Matt Sorum Drummer Guns 'N' Roses and Velvet Revolver Adopt The Arts Concert
On Thursday, May 12th, I had the great pleasure of enjoying an all-access pass to Matt Sorum's 'Adopt The Arts' benefit concert at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. The event was produced by Sorum to benefit his Adopt the Arts Foundation, a charity he established to support arts education in public schools. The event was a resounding success and an excellent time among old and new friends!
The show combined two of Matt's greatest passions: playing with rock legends and raising money for arts education for children. The evening's positive spirit was indeed all about the kids and the foundation's worthy cause!
Sorum held his annual fundraiser for Adopt The Arts Foundation, a program he co-founded to help raise funds to support music education in public schools. As part of the foundation's effort, Matt has two schools he fully supports (including paying all teacher salaries). "Every kid takes music and art; we have teachers that we pay, and have created the curriculum that uses books that we've created," according to Matt.
To help support the Adopt the Arts' show, Sorum enlisted an impressive roster of friends and rock royalty, including: Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones, the Cult's Billy Duffy, Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler, Stone Temple Pilots' brothers Robert and Dean DeLeo, Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Sorum's old GNR bandmate, Gilby Clarke, and many more. The impressive gathering of musical talent was also there to honor Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander and Deep Purple frontman Glenn Hughes, each 2016 inductees into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Sorum had the idea of honoring Zander and Hughes after watching both artists' inductions into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame this past April in Brooklyn. Sorum recalled, "while I was in Brooklyn, I was so happy to see it all happen. I thought it was such a long overdue thing. Cheap Trick especially, Deep Purple as well. Both bands that should've been in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame a long time ago. Cheap Trick is probably one of the premier American rock and roll bands, and then I always used to say Deep Purple, in my opinion, was one of the great British three – Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple. So, long story short, when it came time to do my event again, I thought Glenn would be fantastic to honor with an award and Robin is flying out from Florida with his wife."
Both newly inducted Hall of Famers performed at the event, which also featured an auction of rock-related items, including signed guitars by Dave Grohl and Queen's Brian May, as well as a Shepherd Fairey art piece on medal celebrating Black Sabbath. By all accounts, the event was a tremendous success for those attending, and, more importantly, for the schools and children which stand to benefit from greater access to arts education thanks to the efforts of Matt Sorum's and the Adopt the Arts Foundation.

Reality Show Fights
Real violence invades the reality show universe. Is reality show violence getting too real? A slap here, a table flip there, and if we're lucky, an all-out brawl — violence was once just a scene-stealer on today's reality shows, but it now has become a part of some stars' real lives.

So, I have this friend. For purposes of this post we will call her "Megan". Last week Megan had a woman stop by to give her an estimate on bi-monthly cleanings. The estimate came back ridiculously high and Megan felt the whole thing was silly because she already did most of the things the woman offered to do on a regular basis. You know things like cleaning the slats of the blinds with soap and water, scrubbing the baseboards, oiling the woodwork. While it's not that I never do these things, I do, just not near as often as I should. Megan's house is always sparkly and shiny, Megan bakes sweet breads about once a week, Megan cooks lovely meals almost every night. Megan's children are adorable and well-behaved. Megan works out every day and always looks put together. Plus-she is super pleasant and I really like her. How, Megan, how are you getting all these things done and done well? HOW?!

One of the Little Sisters of the Gospel who is a chaplain at a prison on Rikers Island in New York City asked me to say the Sunday Mass there on what turned out to be a bitterly cold afternoon. Part of me was glad to go; it would reconnect me with my own past years of chaplaincy work there. That experience had convinced me of the truth of a statement by Eugene V. Debs, the one-time Socialist contender for the presidency in the early part of the 20th century, who had done time on trumped-up charges at Chicago's infamous Cook County jail. He wrote in his autobiography, "From the hour of my first imprisonment in a filthy county jail, I recognized that prison was essentially an institution for the punishment of the poor." Returning to Rikers that afternoon sharply reminded me of Debs's insight.
Getting to Rikers by public transportation from my parish in Lower Manhattan involves a four-hour round trip—first a subway ride into Queens, and then the Q101 bus. You have to flag it down, and so coming up from the subway station, I took my place at the curb across the street by a bus stop where others were waiting for their own buses that would take them to various destinations. Finally the bus marked Rikers Island appeared, pulling over in response to my vigorous waving. The driver expressed surprise when I boarded. I was the only passenger. Visiting hours were over at Rikers, so why would I be going there? He relaxed when I explained about the Mass.
On arrival, I made my way through the I.D. checkpoints at the Control Building and then took an island van to the prison hospital's annex, where the Mass was to be held. There the sister chaplain led me to a barren gym, whose electric light fixtures, dangling from the sheet metal ceiling, cast a glare over the cinder block walls and plastic chairs. Big metal heaters above us roared away to little effect; the gym was ice cold. Knowing that the prisoners have little in the way of warm clothing, the sister had arranged with the officer in charge to have the Mass celebrated instead in the day room of a nearby infirmary ward. With a few of the more able-bodied prisoners, we moved the chairs, altar and other equipment to one of the ward's warmer and brighter day rooms.
An African American prisoner had his throat covered with a black cloth. "I have throat cancer," he said. "They brought me down from Attica to get treatment at a city hospital." "Are you in pain?" I asked. "Not too much," he said, without elaborating. Another standing with us had almost no teeth—sometimes a sign of prolonged drug use. Initially I assumed that these and a few others—like two men in wheelchairs—would be the only people attending the Mass. But in time three dozen more came from the hospital across the road, a long line of prisoners who were not only handcuffed, but attached by their handcuffs to a chain, creating what was literally a small chain gang. It was a strange sight, and I watched as a guard unlocked them one by one, all of them suffering from sicknesses that were sometimes visible and sometimes not. One man who asked for a blessing had his arm in a cast.
After counting them, a guard ordered them to be seated, and the liturgy finally got under way. The second reading for that Sunday served as a mirror image of our small congregation. It was from Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, the passage in which he speaks of what might be called the value-reversal implicit in Jesus' message for the poor and outcast: "God chose what is low and despised in the world." Who more low and despised than a group of sick prisoners, some dying of AIDS? The fact that the passage was read by one of the Hispanic prisoners added to its power. The day's Gospel fit too: the Beatitudes. The prisoners' incarcerated status and their compromised physical condition made them blessed in the eyes of a God whose compassion embraces the accused and the afflicted. Even without asking, I could tell that this was the sister's view as well. What else could give her the strength to persevere in such emotionally demanding work?
Throughout the Mass, we were closely observed by two guards, who stood outside in the corridor, looking through wraparound plexiglass windows. A third guard sat inside with us, presumably in case of trouble. But the prisoners were quiet and attentive. When the Mass ended, several came forward to ask what church I was from. When I gave my address on the Lower East Side as Second Avenue and Second Street, several said they knew the locality, and one excitedly cried out, "That's my grandmother's parish!" Another told me he had once lived a few blocks away, at one of the projects on the East River that I visit on Saturdays bringing a meal from a soup kitchen to an elderly shut-in. "I'm almost 50," he said. "I spent 20 years in an upstate prison when I got out of the Marines on drug charges. Cocaine and heroin," he added, "these have always been my main problem." He went on to say that while he was upstate, a sister he had been out of touch with for decades discovered him through the Internet and wrote saying, "You don't have to be in contact with me if you don't want to be." But when he found her letter on the bars of his cell, he immediately replied, and now they are in touch—one of the brighter moments of his long incarceration experience.
It was dark by the time the sister and I left the hospital annex to return to the Control Building. On arriving hours before, I had passed several guards leaving the island after their tour of duty. In street clothes, they were laughing and chatting—a reminder that entering the desolate world of the incarcerated is for some just a way to earn their daily bread. We had to run to catch the Queens bus in front of the building. The driver was a woman this time, and a few other passengers joined me on this return trip. More Masses at Rikers may lie ahead. But whatever the season of the year, they will all serve as reminders of the Corinthians passage we heard that cold Sunday afternoon.

Database creation time has decreased, as well as size. I am not sure how I will handle updates. Using an increasing doc_id when the database is new is quite easy: I just have one increasing integer being coded using a base64 ordered dictionary: "-@0123456789aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ" Doing the same on updates (modifications, deletions, insertions), will be more challenging. Now regarding view creation time: I understand that there is a one-time overhead indexing the newly created database. I have just triggered my view in this 22 million database, and will be waiting for it to finish for some time. I have triggered it like this: curl -X GET localhost:5984/mydb/_design/tools/_view/by-number | grep -c . % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:21:46 --:--:-- 0 And curl is happily waiting for the view to return some results. It is nice that I can see how much time indexing is taking. What I would *very* much like to know is: how many documents have already been indexed? How can I know this? Is there any request that I can send to CouchDB to get this information? Log files? Thanks, Daniel Gonzalez

Thank this author by sharing:
By Joshua A. Walker,
Dim_Date and Dim_Time, Date and Time dimensions. Creation, population, indexing and use script.
Just copy the code into a query window and run the script.
There are no additional functions or procedures required.
This code will create the tables, populate the date and time tables, add holidays, add indexes and there are a few code snippets at the bottom for using them.
There are two variables in the code right after the table creation "@StartDate" and "@EndDate". Set the @StartDate to the first day you wish to use in your dim_Date table. By default this is 1/1/1900. Then set the @EndDate to the day after the last day you want to include. By default this is 1/1/2050. Every date from 1/1/1900 through 12/31/2049 will be included in your data.
The "ID" field on the dim_Date table is the primary key and the date as format YYYYMMDD. There are lines to make it an auto incrementing int that will start at 60,000 if you wish to follow the Kimball DW book that suggest not using a date format as your primary key.
The Date and Time columns in the tables are set up as character fields. This is the proper way to do this for reporting purposes. All day,month, hour, minute and second columns will always be two characters '01' vs. 1...etc...
All columns are indexed after the population.
For functions for these tables that will return the keys from the date and time tables when passed a datetime... and a function for returning the datetime when a key is passed... go here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Data+Warehouse/65897/

Blog: Of Words and Wings
Maysun and the Wingfish
|Posted on May 5, 2016 at 5:35 PM
'Maysun and the Wingfish' was inspired by a vision – a dream-like image of a girl standing near the edge of a lake. Her voice echoes across the valley in a series of ululations and her arms rise and fall gracefully as if she is conducting an orchestra. This is a quiet symphony – a few gentle pops to begin with as the bubbles form followed by tiny splashes. Soon hundreds of fish heads break through the surface – they watch the girl as she swings her arms and points and beckons. They rise in unison, swaying one way and then the other, higher and higher above the lake. But they are no ordinary fish: these are the Wingfish, and whenever the girl calls they gather and rise in response, their scales flash as they flow in a stream of whirls and loops until they form a glittering symbol of infinity.
This tale began life as a short story and when it was published (and had won a 1st prize) I let it rest – until I once again heard the calling of the Wingfish. That was when the land of the Watterishi came thundering back onto my screen with a rare astronomic event; a cataclysm that leaves Maysun's valley in a state of devastation. How will the Wingfish survive? What will happen to Maysun? And then there are the folk who live in the Mountain above the Ruba Forest – those strange trees that divide the once warring tribes of the Watterishi and the Peakerfolk.
From a humble beginning, Maysun and the Wingfish developed into a story set in a strange and unforgiving environment: there are creatures of the natural and the supernatural, folk who are good – and some, not so – as well as Wolfdogs and Wingfish. Maysun is the only one who can restore harmony and to do that she must face her fears by seeking strength from a source she never knew existed.
'Maysun and the Wingfish' is available from the publisher at MothersMilkBooks.
