Grants at Work
Foundation News
Livingston Leaders download apps for K-2 teachers and students. During their volunteer sessions at lunch they are able to use tablets to help kids, per the teacher's request to do so. Also, teachers use tablets in class for various learning opportunities, along with apps that help meet the needs of higher level learners to enrich and challenge and target students' areas of weakness too!
Congratulation to All are Grant Recipients
Investors Foundation has awarded $1,000 to the Township of Union Education Foundation. A check was presented by Donna Steinmetz of Investors Bank. The donation will be used to off-set the cost of a grant awarded to Marianne Deczynski and Mike Malanga, music teachers at Battle Hill Elementary School in the Township of Union, for materials for a music program that incorporates Orff instruments and drums.
According to Marianne Deczynski, "Students are able to come together to work as a team to develop skills such as listening, cooperation, focus and analyzation combining 3 different musical parts into a good performance." Susan Lipstein, President of the Township of Union Education Foundation, stated that "The Foundation appreciates the generosity of the Investors Foundation. With this donation, the Education Foundation can continue to support the teachers in our public schools. When the community works together, we can achieve so much."
Thank you Letter From Washington
Battle Hill Garden
The Township of Union Education Foundation awarded a garden grant in 2013 to third grade teachers Cara LeBlond and Pat Bogda. The teachers have worked to expand the usage of the garden. Today they celebrated a grant and partnership with Shop-Rite and Dole. Excited children learne planted bulbs, learned about nutrition, were shown how to make a simple salad dressing to eat with tomatoes and carrots they grew and will be able to do much more with this new partnership. Thank you to Cara and Pat, who took this idea and ran with it, and to all at Battle Hill School who have done wonderful things with the garden! We at the Foundation are so proud of what you have done!
Connecticut Farms Elementary
Children in Greg Pardo's class are working on their robotics grant. They have learned about
programming using the touch sensor. Each group programmed their robot to move uninterrupted until the touch sensor is activated. Once activated, the robot will reverse, change direction and then begin the code over again.
The class divided into 4 teams based on interest. We have our architect team that designed and sketched the arcade, our carpenters that are building the arcade, our electricians and programmers that will wire everything and install games, and then the artists that will paint and add designs to the exterior.

Oskar Zieta
Oskar Zieta is a designer who since 2003 has been working as a research associate and a teaching assistant at the chair of CAAD at the ETH in Zurich and writing his doctoral thesis under supervision of Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt. The main focus of his thesis is the input of computer-controlled machines in processing of metal sheets in the architecture and design. During his research at the ETH, Oskar Zieta has developed different methods of enhancing efficiency of technology for steel design, architecture and construction. The main topic was the use of steel sheets as a construction element – cheap, easy to shape and efficient. The problem with steel sheets is stability – the work was focused on how to reach the desired stability of steel sheets to be able to use them as construction elements.
Many different technologies were developed - among others, FIDU technology. In 2008 Oskar Zieta introduced to the market, manufactured by HAY, his PLOPP stool. The unique, toy-looking and playful shape of Plopp is an effect of the innovative forming method called FIDU. FIDU technology means that two ultra-thin steel sheets are welded together around their edges and inflated under high pressure to give a 3d object. FIDU enables mass production of individualized shapes. Forms made in FIDU are very light but also very durable. Since its market release, the Plopp stool has been shown on many exhibitions around the world and has won many prestigious awards – including Red Dot Design Award 2008, German Design Council Award 2008 and Forum AID Award 2009.
Zieta Prozessdesign is a multidisciplinary team of architects, designers, engineers and technologists. They cooperate with psychologists, biologists, scientists and many others specialists in order to create the most innovative solutions.

ADRIAN, Douglas Reid
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather during the early hours of January 31, 2005 after a courageous and dignified battle with Cardiac Amyloidosis / Multiple Myeloma. Doug is mourned by his beloved wife of 50 years and best friend Diana; his cherished son Stephen of Vancouver, British Columbia; his treasured daughter Elizabeth; adorable granddaughters Evelyn and Katharine; and son-in-law Bill McMULLEN, all of Boston, Massachusetts. He will be deeply missed by his devoted mother Mabel of Ottawa, Ontario and his loving brothers Philip of Burlington, Ontario and Richard of Chelsea, Québec. Doug was predeceased by his infant daughter Lynda Dale and father Robert Stanley. Doug was born in Hamilton, Ontario November 26, 1930 where at an early age his athletic abilities were recognized. Doug moved to Montreal, Québec where he quickly established himself as a dominant force in the sports in which he participated. Upon graduation, he played his favourite sport, football, in the Canadian Football League as a member of the Edmonton Eskimos. His professional football career, shortened by permanent injury, Doug began his business career with Royal McBee / Litton Industries where he remained for the next 25 successful years. Since 1971, Doug resided in West Vancouver, British Columbia where he enjoyed many years as an executive with Great West Steel / GWIL Industries. During this time Doug was a very active member of Hollyburn Country Club, both athletically and socially. Upon retirement in 1994, Doug became a winter resident of Naples, Florida where he exercised his passion for golf as a member of Imperial Golf Club. He also contributed his time towards the betterment of the community as President of the Wedgefield of Naples Homeowners Association. Travel with his wife to farreaching locations around the world was one of his personal pleasures. During his life, he volunteered his time to amateur sports through coaching, counselling and refereeing. Doug's sense of humour and genuine concern for others made a difference in people's lives. He will be sorely missed by his many Friends and family. We wish to thank the team of doctors at Vancouver General Hospital, especially Dr. Clayton A. Smith, Director of Hematology and his dedicated staff. Also, Dr. H. Thomas Peters and his wonderful staff. Heartfelt thanks to the extraordinary doctors, nurses and volunteers of the palliative care unit at Lions Gate Hospital. At Doug's request, a private family gathering will be held at a later date in Ottawa, Ontario. A memorial gift in Doug's name can be made to the Vancouver General Hospital and University of British Columbia Hospital Foundation for Leukemia / B.M.T. Program 855 West 12th Avenue Vancouver, British Columbia V5Z 1M9 604-875-5240

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado might not recover from knee surgery in time to be ready for Opening Day. Machado had an operation in October to repair a torn ligament in his left knee and was projected to be ready for spring training, but it looks like the O's will start the season without him, according to Sporting News.
Machado injured his left knee while running to first base in a game against the Tampa Bay Rays near the end of September, and the All-Star hasn't run in five days.
"It's scar tissue that flared up and got a little sore and we decided not to push it, which is what we talked about all along," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Saturday.
The 21-year-old recently agreed to a new deal with the Orioles worth $519,000, but has since expressed disappointment with the contract.
"It is disappointing, but at the end of the day, you just have to go out and play," Machado told the Baltimore Sun.
The Orioles open March 31 against the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards.

Befitting his larger-than-life status, Marlon Brando has not one but two final resting places.
Several of the actor's A-list friends, including Sean Penn, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, attended a private tribute at the home of Hollywood producer Mike Medavoy.
Afterward, Brando's family scattered his ashes at his home in the South Pacific paradise of Tahiti, as well as in Death Valley, California, the Los Angeles Times reports.
According to son Miko Brando, the two-time Oscar winner's cremated remains were disbursed between Tetiaroa, a string of tiny atolls in Tahiti that the actor owned since the 1960s, and in Death Valley, the austere desert landscape that Brando admired.
"It was a place he really loved and we took many trips out there," Miko, 43, told the Times.
As part of the same Death Valley ceremony, Miko said the ashes of Brando's best friend, Wally Cox, who died in 1973, were also scattered. It's not known how Brando came to possess Cox's remains.
Brando's friends and family members revealed to the Times several details of the reclusive life of the former Godfather don, who died of lung failure on July 1 at age 80.
In the months before his death, Brando dropped 85 pounds from his once immense physique. He also required a portable oxygen tank to help him breathe because of the lung condition pulmonary fibrosis.
The ever-guarded Brando tried to keep his deteriorating health a secret so producers would still consider him for roles.
But, according to one associate, Brando himself didn't realize the extent of his illness.
"I don't think he knew he was that ill," Medavoy told the Times.
The Hollywood producer, once the head of TriStar Pictures, was tapped by Brando to be the co-executor of his estate, along with the actor's business manager Larry Dresler and friend Arva Douglas, two weeks before he died at UCLA Medical Center.
Another longtime friend and former assistant, Joan "Toni" Petrone, said that after his death, Brando's body was placed on view at a local mortuary clothed in a Japanese robe and his beloved red scarf.
Among other revelations: Brando hardly left home save a trip last year to Neverland Ranch to visit close pal Michael Jackson, who's godfather to Brando's nine-year-old granddaughter, Prudence. Brando, who appeared at Jackson's 30th anniversary tribute concert in 2001, was particularly fond of Jackson's hospitality.
"The last time my father left his house to go anywhere, to spend any kind of time, it was with Michael Jackson," Miko, a longtime security guard for Jackson, told the Times. "He loved it...My father had a 24-hour chef, 24-hour security, 24-hour help, 24-hour kitchen, 24-hour maid service. Just carte blanche."
Miko also said his father was not as eccentric as his legend purported, but was a normal guy who liked watching sports and was a doting family man.
Brando's executors now must decide how to divvy up his $21.6 million estate among the nine offspring named in his will, as well as preserve his legacy. The executors are trying to ensure that Brando's heirs have complete control over his name and likeness.
Several people are lining up for a piece of the action, per the Times. Brando's lawyer, David Seely, told the paper there were "at least five or six" claims that he knew about. He declined to discuss the specifics. Such claims can turn nasty and hold up the disbursement of an estate.
According to the Times, Petrone is asking for $3,000 for a diamond ring she says she lost down the garbage disposal while making a salad at Brando's L.A.-area home.
Meanwhile, a Tahitian businessman who runs Air Moorea, a small airline that serviced Tetiaroa, says his company is owed at least $460,000 in business costs.
Aside from the budding legal dispute, there's another question concerning the Polynesian hideaway.
"I think there's talk about developing half of it, because at the end, my father wanted to develop it and have a hotel franchise take it over and develop it as a resort," said Miko. "He was talking with a big hotel franchise that would set it up as a luxury resort, hotel and spa. He never got around to it, so you know, if it comes up, that's an option we have. But we're keeping our business options open."
Meanwhile, the executors are cataloguing hundreds of pencil drawings made by Brando and are completing a set of DVDs based on unreleased footage showing the stage and screen icon teaching the Method to fellow pros like Penn Nick Nolte, Jon Voight and Edward James Olmos.

Kassadin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
So, thats it. My kassadin build its there. I know that its no percfect but I always enjoy playing with this build and I always pwned some *** with it. I hope you will like as me and im sorry for my english ... I normaly speak french so if you don't understand what im saying.. sorry its my bad.
Enjoy it ! Frosledtoast
Skill Sequence
Like you already saw, I i try to get null sphere lvl 5 soon as possible. The reason for this, its simply because its the best spell of kassadin and you want it to silence your enemys and kill them. At lvl 18 , with this build comlete, you will it like 800 dammage with null sphere and force pusle ..so get them lvl 5 soon as possible. Nether blade its usefull but its not your main spell and you will not get all your kills because of it. try to get it lvl 5 at lvl 18 not before. for the ultimate, Riftwalk, lvl it each time its possile because its hit hard and its very useful combine with flash to escape of bad situation like being gank.
For the items get ability power items, mana items and magic resit items. With Kassadin you want to hit hard but not die fast. So, ability power give the oportunity to hit hard, mana items give the power to non-stop cast and magic resit give you more resistance to enemy spell caster. If you have a lot of mana always gard a archangel's staff, its one of the best item for Kassadin. Rabadon's deatcap give you the orptunity to deal a lot of dammage in midle game and mush more in late game. If you get a archangel's staff always get a rode of ages to empower your archangel's staff effects.
For masteries, I do a hard spell caster masteries tree because you always want to hit hard and get all the kill has possible to be fead in early game to get a full stuff build quikly.

First, this is not really a crochet-focused entry. Sorry. But I have no real progress to show since my vest! Which, by the way, is totally awesome. I wore it out in public for the first time yesterday and it was super cute.
But all I've been working on since then is a sweater, and damn is it going SLOWLY. It's the stitch, it's a very dense/textured one. It's adorable, but takes forever. I've been working on it for a few days now and I'm only just starting to get near the end of the first sleeve. To be fair, I say "days" but really that just means maybe two hours total between work and sleeping. This job is going to kill me. But I'll stop rambling now.
You should check out the sweater, though. It's called the "Spencer Sweater". It's kind of a pricey pattern at $7.50 but with how much work is involved I think it's worth the price. Check it out right here on Ravelry! (This is not at all any kind of endorsement or anything, I'm just really excited about this pattern and want other people to see it.)
Anyway. What I wanted to talk about is how it's finally starting to feel REAL that I'll be moving across the country this August. A few times since we moved down here, we've made commitments to move back up north, but then my husband would always change his mind or admit that he didn't really want to move away from Texas. But last fall, I finally sat down and told him that I'll live back up in the Midwest someday no matter what, and I'd obviously like that to be with him and our future family.
So he finally gave in and we've been planning to move by the end of this calendar year. It wasn't until the new year started that it suddenly hit us, though. Before that we were stashing away a hundred bucks here and there when we could afford it, but we had planned to move so many times before that it was hard to feel like it was really happening.
Now that it's 6 months away? We're getting very serious. At least a hundred bucks a week, often more, is being put away. I'm shopping around for places we can rent. I have no idea when it's appropriate to start applying for jobs but I'll start that as soon as I can.
I'm just really excited and wanted to tell someone. By this coming fall, I'll be living near my parents again! I haven't seen my family in nearly 3 years now and I can't take it anymore. I'm dying to hug them again.
That's about all I wanted to say. Sorry it's not a very exciting post this time. But I hope someone out there can relate and is also excited for an upcoming move…or if you're where I was just a year ago, getting really frustrated about not having a concrete plan, just be honest about it. Make plans! Make it happen! You can do it.
Now get back to crocheting/knitting, because that's what I'm going to do! Go make some stuff and have fun!!!
I just want to remind you to please check out my recent pattern, the Hippie Fringe Vest, if you're interested. Thank you!

FC: Gingerlocks and the Three Bears By Cole Lederhandler
1: Once upon a time---------- No need for once upon a time, for this is a modern-day story. The Bear family went out for their annual food hunt, so they were gone from their house. It takes them two days to gather food. It was Friday at Sandy Run Middle School, when Gingerlocks' teacher, Mr.Isacs, annouced their class field trip to the forest. Gingerlocks was nervous because she had no forest skill. Her best friend, Matt Jacupson, leaned over to her and gave her a piece of paper. "Whats this?" Gingerlocks asked. "Go to this house. They will teach you woodcraft for our trip." he commanded. "Ok. If you say so." she replied.
2: The next morning was Saturday. She quietly skipped past the Jonsons' house, and the other houses on her block, until finally, she came upon the Bear residence. She rang the door bell. DING DONG! Then, she knocked on the door fairly loud. KNOCK KNOCK! CREEEK! The door opened. Gingerlocks loved snooping, it was her favorite thing to do. So she went in. | She had forgotten to eat breakfast, so she went in the kitchen. She went up to the first bowl on the kitchen counter. It was filled with original oatmeal, which was way too hot. She passed it, and went to the next. It was medium sized bowl with apple cinnamon oatmeal, which was way too cold. She passed that bowl too, and went on to the last bowl. It was filled with maple sugar oatmeal and was the perfect tempurature. She quickly scarfed it down and left the bowl on the counter.
3: After eating the delicious oatmeal, she became very tired. She went upstairs to find a bed. The first bed was bed was way too high up! She could barely climb on. The second bed was way too small; she wouldnt fit on it. Finally, the third bed fit her perfectly and she fell asleep.
4: She woke up when she heard the front door open. "Oh! The Bears! They're Home!" Gingerlocks hummed under her breath. She decided to come clean, hoping that they will give her mercy and accept her apology. She ran down the stairs, only to see the Bears sitting on their chairs, as if waiting for her! "Im so sorry I'm here! My friend told me to come here and......" "We know why you are here, Gingerlocks." Papa Bear said. "You're here because you need help on your survival skills, isnt that right?" Mama Bear asked. "Yes. That's correct. Can you help me?" Gingerlocks asked. "Of course we can!" Baby Bear exclaimed.
5: They taught her how to raise a tent, to always have bug repellent on, to wear sneakers, and lots of other helpful information. "Thank you so much! Im going to pack. Thanks again!" Gingerlocks said. "You're very welcome dear!" Mama Bear said as Gingerlocks ran out the door. Her forest trip went fabulously and she used all the skills the Bears had tought her on that day. And they all lived happily ever after.

Aubrey - If you go on tripadvisor, you can see what other people have to say so that you know what all the different scams are before you get there. Then you just laugh when someone tells you that you're going the wrong way or whatever because you know what they're trying to do. It's unfortunate, but people will definitely take advantage of you if you're not prepared... and always negotiate the price beforehand and confirm it, twice!ReplyDelete
One of my favourite places on Earth. Gorgeous photos!ReplyDelete
So colourful but the snake charmers would make me run in the opposite direction as well! Surprisingly, we experienced something similar at the Spanish Steps in Rome. There were men trying to sell us dying flowers and he forced it into my boyfriends hand then demanded money.ReplyDelete
There was also a man following my boyfriend around trying to get him to put his finger inside of a small noose "For Love!" he yelled out to us as we ran away.
Great pictures.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Sound engineering by Mike Gentry
Shawn Rosenblatt, the lone constant in the Chicago band Netherfriends, is some kind of a mastermind. The young man with the slightly slumped shoulders and the ever-changing group of friends and hired guns has such an expert way with indie rock arrangement and with the tricky business of sounding both unfamiliar and like something that we've been intimate with time and again. It's as if we could recall his songs by closing our eyes and checking in with our olfactory sensibilities and we should be able to arrive at a clear picture - like a demented circus train, or a hammer hitting a bullet sending a gorgeous distress signal up from a life raft to explode over a vast and terrifying ocean. He seems to have gone out with a net and corralled all of the tails of every comet that's come close enough to Earth to nab, bundled them and then shocked them into weird motions and dance maneuvers. They are trained to serve his songs loyally and to add some creative energies as well, making the workload less taxing. Netherfriends songs involve a combination of a few things: there are the jumpy expressions of literate aggression, the warm, hollow-bodied guitar work, the louds and the softs, the bridges of gooey ooos and ahhs and baaas, the feelings of desperate continuance and a countenance that most likely pays the closest attention to those gooey bridges when they're spiked with some kind of illicit liquor. From one song, we're led to believe that there's nothing good enough to get out of the shower or the bed, which reminds me of what sounded to be a suicidal disc jockey on the local radio station yesterday afternoon making what he probably thought was an insightful, rhetorical question, "Ever wonder how those little miracles, like how you got out of bed this morning to face the day, happen?" Rosenblatt takes that stance only mildly on "Worean Kar," a song that is partially inspired by the grandfather who helped put all of his grandchildren through college with the money that he made as a professional photographer, shooting the Korean War and as the go-to guy for New York City mobsters when their loved ones were getting married. The jaunty number, which begins with some piano trippings - those artful stumbles of someone so good that there's no reason to care about the frayed ends and pieces - and gallops through like a pissy, but pretty number that Tim Kasher would write. Then the barroom piano's back after a lazy fog storm in the middle of the song, all before Rosenblatt just starts singing," Korean War," over and over. These are songs that all of the young 20-somethings out there can relate to in that the characters are searching for some breaks, looking for a way to make ends meet both mentally and externally. Rosenblatt lets his songs hit you between the eyes, in the guts, across the heart and knife you in the back. They're full of betrayal - personal betrayal and natural betrayal that really just amounts to how the cards fall. He asks for an unknown someone to pour him some slack, which could just be an alcoholic metaphor, or it could be seen as something so easy that it could happen just as a glass of milk is poured into a glass. He sings, "I always wanted something else and nothing more," and it's that unmistakable desire that shines through all of these songs of tough love and tougher skin.

THE sighs of relief heaved in European capitals when the "yes" vote in the French referendum on the Maastricht Treaty was first projected were especially deep in Bonn.
It has been "an overall relief that it has turned out this way," says a German official.
The 51.05 percent "yes" vote was well below the 54 or 55 percent level that conventional wisdom had deemed necessary for the referendum to be an unqualified "victory for Europe." "It's a slim majority, but it's a majority," the official says. "It's really also very important for the chancellor. It's been a major project for him to achieve German unity under a European roof."
Chancellor Helmut Kohl confidently predicted that "the French referendum will give new impetus to the European unification process," and added he was sure the German Bundestag would ratify the treaty by the end of the year.
Finance Minister Theo Waigel predicted a calming of the financial markets, which have been in upheaval in recent days with high German interest rates boosting the value of the deutsche mark and putting other European currencies under great pressure. Addressing concerns
Mr. Kohl acknowledged certain "concerns" of the people that will receive "our particular attention" during the ratification debate in Germany.
Bjorn Engholm, leader of the opposition Social Democrats, was reported as saying that the narrow majority should be taken as a "warning signal" of concern.
Kohl, who has expended considerable personal political capital campaigning for a French "yes" vote, argued that there is no reasonable alternative to a united Europe; without unification, he said, Europe will just be pushed around, a plaything of world interests.
Being pushed around, however, is what many of the French were concerned about. The Franco-German alliance has been an essential feature of the postwar European political landscape. But it has not been lost on the Germans that in the intense French debate before the referendum, "the German question" was used by both sides.
Vote "non" so that France can avoid being dominated by Germany, treaty opponents said. Vote "oui" so that France can keep an eye on Germany within a united Europe, supporters of the treaty said.
Thus, the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper editorialized yesterday, "The French vote cannot be seen simply as a cheerful `Yes to Europe.'"
The more strongly the case is made that the treaty is a good way of controlling Germany, the more concerned Germans are about their national sovereignty. "The people in Europe, especially in Germany, obviously want this Europe, but they also want to maintain their national identity," Foreign Minister Kinkel said, though he said he was not calling for a revision of the treaty.
There has been a good deal of what Jochen Thies, managing editor of the journal Europa Archiv, calls "loose talk" about a German referendum on Maastricht.
Kohl has ruled out such a thing, and Germany has no constitutional mechanism for a referendum. But amending the Constitution has been under much discussion because of concern over the right of asylum. Minimal metaphor
Mr. Thies, meanwhile, puts a somewhat minimalist interpretation on the French vote. Many commentators have used a railroad metaphor: "European unity is on track after Maastricht." Thies invokes another mode of transportation: "The man on the bicycle has managed not to fall over. The question is, how long can he manage to continue without falling over?"
The Maastricht vote, "in real terms, means nothing," he says, "but in psychological terms, it means a lot." With this "yes" vote, "Europeans have got another chance to catch their breath, and try to deal as a whole with certain problems, with Yugoslavia, with the whole question of asylum."
The Kohl government's statement noted, "We confront challenges that cannot be managed with only a national policy.... Economic union without a political union to accompany it would not be viable."
Thies questions the depth of German support for Maastricht. He says he feels instinctively that the Kohl government is right to pursue greater European union. "But polls indicate that the moment you start to sacrifice the deutsche mark [as called for in the treaty's provisions for a single European currency] two-thirds of the support falls away."
Germany, too, is in the midst of another unity process: that of incorporating and rebuilding the former East Germany. Thies also notes that aside from Germany, "There's really very little Western engagement in the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe," and he senses some ambivalence about the special German role.
"As a German, you can't get it right. If you try to do something, you're seen to be controlling things." But other nations have largely abandoned these fields to Germany, as he sees it. "This brings out lots of fears ... and makes me skeptical about what we can accomplish.
"The big task is to keep Western Europe together and still do something for the East. You can't just keep Western Europe as an island for the rich."

Project information
School Places Project
Our School Places Project aims to improve the life chances of vulnerable children living in poverty in the UK. These children, usually on the brink of care due to their family situation, will be supported by Buttle UK through boarding education - which provides excellent pastoral care.
4 years
Charity information: Buttle UK
The beneficiaries of our school fees programme are facing emotional, social or health difficulties, and their current situation at home or in their current educational environment is worsening. They are children who might otherwise end up in care.
Only 5% of looked after children achieved 5+ A* - C GCSEs in 2011, those leaving care are more than twice as likely as other children to be cautioned or convicted for an offence and are over-represented among teenage parents, drug users and prisoners
With nearly 60 years experience in providing boarding places for vulnerable children, we know the approach creates very positive and educational outcomes.
76% of those children that we supported in Year 11 in 2011 got 5+ A* - C, and typically over 75% go on to further education and A levels. We believe that giving these children a boarding education works because it provides encouragement, routine and structure that is missing at home. At the same time it helps bring the family unit together.
Aim 1
To provide boarding education for one child for the length of their secondary education (5 years).
Activities» Work with our partner organisations and selected schools to negotiate funding for a place for a child experiencing a troubling home life.
» Meet with the potential beneficiary and their referrer to discuss the opportunity available for them, and assess their suitability to the project.
» Secure external funding for remaining funds for the full 5 years of boarding education - after partnership and school support is deducted.
What success will look like
Success will be securing funding for a part funded place at a local boarding school, with the student completing their education and making an informed decision about their future.
By beginning projects such as the school places project in conjunction with our school fees project, we hope to ensure we are targeting those children most at risk of entering state care, and most likely to benefit from all that an independent education has to offer while their family, health, or emotional difficulties hindering their current situation stabilise. We want to ensure that children in the most disadvantaged circumstances are given a fighting chance at continuing their education.
There is a risk that the beneficiary of the programme experiences additional difficulties in their new boarding environment. By working with the school and the child's support worker, enough knowledge combined with expert professional expertise and experience should ensure the recipient of the grant is given the best possible chance to thrive in their new environment.
Results of the school fees programme are measured by a number of means, including the completion of the course of study at the school, the ability to go onto further education at the end of the course and the well-being of the student. This is all compiled and reported annually.
Budget - Project Cost: £24,750Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £24,750 School Fees our cost for funding one place for full five years at a boarding school
Applicants are from all over the UK, though outreach is taking place for those students from schools who have been recommended as benefitting most from the programme.
The child receiving the boarding education will be the primary beneficiary, although depending on their circumstances it is likely to have a significant positive benefit on their immediate family, or their foster or kinship carer if this applies to their situation.
Why Us?
Why Us?
Buttle UK had been funding children from disrupted backgrounds to go to boarding school for nearly 60 years. Through our grant-giving programmes we hear about children and young people that most people are unaware of.
We have a dedicated, highly experienced casework manager and a strong reputation within the sector. We also have excellent relationships with partner organisations and schools, meaning that funding a place is cheaper through additional support.
Read more about the Charity running this project.
Karen Melton
Karen is the casework manager for the school fees programme. She is responsible for ensuring the beneficiary will benefit most from the boarding place
A child that has had the fortune to gain unique educational opportunities through Buttle is a child who has gained more than words can say or write.

Sense of belonging to love (KKB) Chapter 15
Let me first clarify Nirvana's doubt, Abhi do have parents in this story and I have mentioned that in the first chapter of this story where Abhi will be asking himself why was he feeling very lost nowadays…Is it because my parents are living abroad? Hope it clarifies your doubt.
Now back to the story…..
Abhi, It means is she following me from the time when I checked in the hotel? Let me call and check the hotel when she checked in! Yes that would be better!
He called and got to know that she checked in the same day as him. Abhi, Damn it! She checked as the same day as me and that too half an hour before me! I won't leave her now for messing up with my feelings! What is she thinking? She is not even my friend and she wants to get married to me!
Abhi went out of his room with full of anger and knocked vigorously on the door of Pragya's room. Abhi "Open the door now Pragya! Come out!" Pragya "I am down here!" Abhi looked around and realised her voice is coming from the living area. He quickly walked down the steps and Pragya was trying to hide her fear. Abhi "Stand up! This is my house and how dare are u sitting on my sofa?" Pragya "What's your problem?" Abhi "You! You are my problem!" Pragya with a smile said "Like Problem and Solution ah?" Abhi "No! And u don't smile like that!" Pragya "Speak softer! Your parents are sleeping after the tiring trip….I hope you don't want to disturb them!" Abhi "I am shouting like this so that they also can hear!" Pragya shook her head in disbelief and now was silent. Abhi "So you were following me the day I reached Mumbai right?" Pragya "Why do u think so?" Abhi "You checked in to the hotel as the same date as me. And that too half an hour before me!" Pragya "Does it mean I followed u?" Abhi "Yes! Then what? And u purposely took my luggage and bags with u! And then the rest u know!" Pragya "That was a mistake by the staff working there who placed your bags and luggage in my room…." Abhi "Then following me was not a mistake?" Pragya "I never followed you!" Abhi grabbed her shoulder firmly and asked " You are sure that u didn't followed me?" Pragya "I am damn sure that I never followed u but……" Abhi loosed his grip sensing that his grip was painful to her. Pragya "But….I know you….." Abhi "I don't want to listen anything else! I know u will try to convince me to marry you! Listen carefully! I will not be a friend, lover or husband to you! I am very sure about that and I will see how long my parents and you will try to play this drama of making me married to you!" Pragya "It's not a drama….getting married can never be a drama…" Abhi "Yes it can never be but with u it can be!" Abhi turned away from her and was heading to leave the house. Pragya with tears "No! Just listen to me once before you leave….." Abhi just ignored her and walked out of the house…..
Pragya, why is he not understanding me? I am trying to tell him everything but he is not even listening to me…..I know he would do like this but why now? He have to listen what I have to say! How can I tell him everything? Shall I ask Aunty for help? Maybe she can help me….Ya I would ask her once they are in the dining area for dinner…….
Abhi driving his car in a rashing speed was thinking, All are making me fools! Firstly it was that Pragya and then it was Purab! I will never leave this 2 Ps for making me fools! How can Purab do like this to me! He knows right that how much I loved Tanya and a second love is possible but I can't and won't…..That too I told him before and still he also joined hands with my parents to make Pragya follow me! And this Pragya was still telling straight at my face that she was not following me! What a liar! (Horn sound!) Damn these cars in front of me is so irritating! How long am I pressing the horn and they are still moving like a snail……All are irritating!
Pragya looking at his photo, I know you are angry at me but please understand that you are my everything and I will help you to clear all your worries, frustration and everything that affects you….Even if u never love me it's ok but at least let me live with u……
Abhi in frustration with his eyes closed, shouted "Pragya!!!" He opened his eyes and was surprised to see the road was clear without any cars that was previously blocking his way……Abhi, Now I know hearing her name even the cars had vanished! Even they can't stand her!
He then continued to drove the car even more in a fast speed.
Pragya, I am not saying you belong to me but what can I do when my heart have the courage to say u can belong to me…..I am not saying that my love will reach you but why do I feel that u also love me? Why do I feel that something is stopping you from accepting your love towards me? I felt your every touch on me…..your sudden hug or when you were placing hands around my shoulder…..all expressed love….Love that made me lost in you again…….
Whenever I have thoughts of you, then I will ask my heart…. are u the one giving me this thoughts or is it my mind? Then my heart replies I am only giving you the feeling to remind you the thoughts again and again but your mind is already fully filled with those thoughts.
Thank u all for the great and amazing comments! Some comments made me smiled widely and some made me think of something in depth….Ya maybe it will make me have something else in this ff….let's see! It's nice that u all find the previous update as a twist when I myself never thought that as a twist…Once again my heartfelt Thanks for the support and understanding guys! Thanks to all silent and non-silent readers too! Advance Diwali wishes again to all friends and their families! Wishing a rocking weekend to all my rocking friends here! I can't rock haha as I still have anaconda assignments!
See u all on Sunday or Monday if I am done with my assignments! No guarantee guys! But I will try to give a short update if possible as I somehow sense all your interest in this ff which makes my senses to be lost……

Resolution reaches a higher peak
Full-frame CMOS sensor and fixed-lens design rise to new heights in the RX1R II compact camera with 42.4-megapixel1 resolution and advanced image processing. Speedy AF, a retractable electronic viewfinder and the world's first optical variable low-pass filter let you see how seamlessly cutting-edge performance and all-around convenience can co-exist.
Startling depth in detail
A 42.4-megapixel1 back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor, advanced BIONZ X™ image processing engine and fixed-lens design deliver unrivaled resolution and enhanced sensitivity. These technological advances keep images exquisitely detailed, natural and well exposed all the way from their centers to edges, regardless of shooting conditions.
Featuring 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points
With advanced phase- and contrast-detection capabilities, the Fast Hybrid AF system in the RX1R II provides unconventionally speedy, accurate wide-area autofocus coverage and tracking performance. You will be able to shoot better, clearer stills at every opportunity without missing a single moment.
Control LPF effect to achieve your intention in a shot
You can choose from three optical variable low-pass filter effect settings1: Off (to prioritize image resolution), Hi (to reduce moiré and color artifacts) and Standard (to balance those priorities). Each in its own way takes optimal advantage of the image sensor's 42.4-megapixel resolution to deliver the ultimate image quality according to shooting intention and situation.
Double-duty LPF control for added effect
How does the RX1R II provide double duty that would otherwise require more than one conventional camera? Splitting of incident light flux is controlled by varying voltage to the liquid crystal between low-pass filter 1 and low-pass filter 2 in order to activate, deactivate and modify low-pass filter effect. LPF bracketing simplifies comparison of LPF effects.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The Jefferson County Commission voted in a committee meeting today to terminate county attorney Jeff Sewell, but the commission allowed Sewell to "involuntarily retire" before it made the termination official in a subsequent full commission meeting.
Under the deal, Sewell will be paid for his accrued sick days and unused vacation, and he will qualify for retirement when he reaches eligibility age of 55 in about two years.
For almost an hour in the committee meeting this morning, Sewell defended his legal career at the county to the commission.
The commission voted four-to-one, with Commissioner George Bowman as the only "no" vote.
Sewell had served as lead county attorney since 2008 and had worked in the county legal department since 1988, but in recent months his working relationship with county commissioners had deteriorated.
Last year, Sewell demanded the county give him a $30,000 raise, when he was already the highest paid county employee, making $375,000 a year. Sewell engaged in a game of chicken, boxing his belongings from his office and remaining scarce from the county courthouse.
The commission, engaged in the largest municipal bankruptcy in United States history, found itself with little choice but to relent and gave the Sewell most of the raise he wanted, $18,750.
Since then Sewell has argued that the county legal department needed more staff, and earlier this month, he issued a memo warning commissioners that they were running afoul of the two-year-old county manager law.
However, Commissioner President David Carrington said today that Sewell's memo was a preemptive misdirection meant to distract the public as the tension between Sewell and commissioners rose to a full boil.
The real problem, Carrington said, was that Sewell had been disrupting bankruptcy negotiations and that on several occasions he had ordered outside legal counsel to abruptly stop negotiations while he was having disputes with commissioners.
According to Carrington, on April 2, he and Commissioner Sandra Little Brown met with Sewell to express concerns they had with his job performance. Among their concerns was that Sewell had impeded bankruptcy negotiations by cancelling meetings and contradicting the commission in its dealings with outside bankruptcy lawyers.
Subsequent to that meeting, Sewell communicated with outside lawyers by email, again halting negotiations.
"During the April 2 conversation, Mr. Sewell was clearly told, and he acknowledged, that he was the attorney and the county, represented by the commissioners, was the client," Carrington said. "I was disappointed and quite frankly shocked to learn that several hours later Mr. Sewell arbitrarily cancelled the previously scheduled general obligation debt service conversation for 10 a.m. the next morning."
The next Monday, Carrington had Sewell placed on paid leave and instructed him not to communicate with county employees or outside legal counsel, but despite those instructions, Sewell communicated with outside bankruptcy lawyers telling them that they were not authorized to negotiate for the county in Dallas, Texas, with non-sewer debt creditors.
Those lawyers, as well as Commissioners Jimmie Stephens and Joe Knight, went to Dallas for the negotiations anyway.
Emails distributed among the commissioners before today's meeting showed that Sewell on at least two occasions instructed outside legal counsel to cease their activities, and that he told those lawyers that they were not to negotiate on the county's behalf in Texas and that they would not be paid if they did.
"It is clear to me that Mr. Sewell's ongoing interference with bankruptcy settlement negotiations is not in the best interest of the county, is counterproductive to our focus on exiting bankruptcy as soon as possible, and needlessly increases our legal fees," Carrington said. "As such, I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Sewell's employment at the county should be terminated immediately."
Commissioner Brown said that the last directive to counsel from Sewell particularly concerned her.
Sewell, who arrived at the courthouse about 15 minutes before the meeting began, spent almost an hour speaking to the commission, defending his actions and making his case to keep his job.
Sewell told the commission that it was better for them to be slow and right than fast and wrong. At the end of his comments he apologized to the commissioners if he had been too assertive in his job.
According to Sewell, none of the past commissioners understood what they were voting on when they approved Jefferson County's disastrous debt structure, and when past commissioners traveled to New York to negotiate with Wall Street, often taking bribes at the same time, the county attorneys were left behind in Birmingham.
Five of those former commissioners have been convicted of public corruption charges, including taking bribes from investment bankers and sewer contractors. Sewell said it was his job, after he became county attorney in 2008, to make sure that those mistakes would never happen again.
"It has not been my intent to usurp your authority, or to run over you, or to embaras you," he said. "My intent is to avoid the mistakes of the past. I feel like that, and this is hindsight, if my predecessor had been more assertive, some of your predecessors maybe wouldn't be where they are today."
At times, the debate between Sewell and Carrington grew tense. Sewell said he had a professional duty to communicate with his clients, even if it contradicted an order from a commissioner. Sewell accused Carrington of trying to shut out the other commissioners from decisions that were being made at the county.
Arguing that he had collected almost $110 million in settlements for the county, Sewell gave the commission a recent settlement check that had been sent to him. When commissioners asked Sewell how he had gotten the check when he had been on administrative leave and banned from the building all week, he said he had retrieved the check from his office this morning before attending the meeting. Commissioners Brown and Carrington were visibly aghast that Sewell had again violated an order from the commission.
Finally, Sewell took issue with how he was put on leave on Monday.
"I have never done anything to hurt any of you. I have never done anything to embarrass any of you. I've tried to do my job," he said. "If you don't want me to be your county attorney, come talk to me and I'll retire, but this is not the way to treat somebody who has devoted 25 years of their life to this county."
Of the commissioners, only Bowman, supported keeping Sewell as county attorney, whom he called "forthright, frank and honest."
"I have never had an occasion where he has told me something misleading or wrong," Bowman said. "I trust him and I trust his judgment.
After the vote the commission adjourned the committee meeting and took what was meant to be a brief break before reconvening in a full commission meeting.
During that break, Commissioner Stephens sat with Sewell in the back of the commission chambers and negotiated the compromise. After Stephens' shuttle diplomacy between Sewell and Carrington, Sewell agreed to "involuntary retirement."
The commission reconvened briefly enough for the commission and Sewell to say publicly that they had reached an agreement.
According to Stephens, Sewell would have lost his retirement from the county had he been terminated by the commission.
"He had 25 years of service with this county and at least 20 of those were good," Stephens said. "That means something and denying him his retirement would not have been fair. It was the right thing to do."
Carrington said that the search for a new county attorney would begin next week.
"We're not to the point of being in critical condition because of this, but it is a position that I would like to fill within the next two or three weeks," he said.

There either is or is not, that's the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it's red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I'm not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I'm going to tell it the way I remember it.
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is an innovative, original episodic video and social media series produced for the web. Adapting Pride and Prejudice to the modern era, Lizzie Bennet tells the classic Jane Austen tale from the point of view of an Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet who grew up in a world of cell phones, video cameras, and social media. The series was created by popular YouTube personality Hank Green and Streamy Award winning web video writer Bernie Su.
The holiday season is bringing more than cheer for actress Jessica Capshaw. The Grey's Anatomy star announced on Monday that she and her husband, Honest Company co-founder Christopher Gavigan, are expecting their fourth child.

"This year our family has reason to further broaden our smile … baby number four is on the way!! I am a lucky, lucky girl…"
The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their "headshot".Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night? If you're using a snapshot, it's like showing up to race the Indy 500 in a VW Beetle. Nobody is going to take you seriously. I'm sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it's true! Don't tell me you're destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.
The Grinch from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical stole the spotlight at the Empire State Building's 86th Floor Observatory December 14, 2012, to promote the musical's limited holiday engagement.

BEIJING (AP) — Police in southern China said Thursday they had raided more than 18,000 entertainment venues in a southern province in the wake of a high-profile state media expose of the sex trade in a city known as China's "sex capital."
The TV report over the weekend on prostitution in the Guangdong province city of Dongguan sparked a much-publicized crackdown across the whole of the wealthy coastal province. Guangdong police said in a statement that they had arrested 920 people allegedly engaged in prostitution.
The 18,372 premises raided included singing and dancing venues, saunas and massage parlors. A total of 38 karaoke bars and 158 saunas and massage parlors had been closed as a result of the crackdown, police said.
CCTV's report on China's "sex capital" was criticized by many members of the public, who expressed sympathy for the sex workers and suggested Dongguan's entrenched sex industry couldn't have survived without the support of police and local authorities.

As scientific techniques progress, technology allows us gain a deeper insight into the world around us. We have space missions searching for life on other planets, archeologists trying to piece together the remains of monstrous creatures from the distant past, and then we have scientists who work on milk.
It might not sound glamorous to an outsider, spending a good deal of your life thinking about the back end of a cow, but incredibly, after humans have used milk for hundreds, even thousands of years, researchers working on casein which is the major protein in milk, recently made an incredible discovery which has the potential to impact a lot of people.
A small protein fragment (or peptide) found in casein has been found, in initial experiments, to have an anti-hypertensive effect, which means it can lower the blood pressure. The effect was noted when the compound was delivered intraveneously. There are a lot of compounds, particularly protein based compounds, that lose their effectiveness when they pass through the digestive system, which is the reason that some vaccines and medications are given by injection instead of orally.
Obviously intravenous milk is a long way from catching on, so the next step was to see if this antihypertensive peptide was destroyed by the digestive process. A group of scientists decided to try this out using rats. The rats were fed the protein fragment, and the scientists monitored its appearance in the bloodstream. The researchers found that the protein fragment was able to pass through the digestive system and into the bloodstream intact at a low but significant rate. This is great news, because it means that there is potential to develop this technology into a functional food, or an oral supplement or medication.
There is still a massive amount of research needed before anything like that will happen, including trials in humans. We will not know if the casein found in milk or in casein supplements has any effect on hypertension in humans until these experiments have been done. Nonetheless, this research in mice is an important first step.
Many people use casein as a night time protein, because of its special structural properties, which cause it to agglutinate in the stomach and digest very slowly, keeping the body in positive nitrogen balance while the muscles repair and recover overnight. Because it is so filling, it is a good choice for dieters. High in BCAAs, rich in calcium, with one of the best biological values out of all protein types, casein has a long list of attributes. It's early days yet, but we may be able to add another attribute to this list in the future.

Posts Tagged 'mosquitos'
Florida's first three Zika infections were reported yesterday, and along with the horrible damage the virus can do to babies, another rare disease may be connected to the the mosquito-borne Zika. CDC and Brazilian health authorities are now trying to figure out how Zika may be triggering or causing the Guillain-Barré syndrome, which causes nerve damage, paralysis, and in rare cases, death. Cases of the rare disease have increased significantly in the past few months, and who knows what other nastiness this little bug may be capable of?
Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador and Jamaica have all officially asked women to delay becoming pregnant until more can be learned about Zika, while in the US, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas and Hawaii have confirmed Zika infections involving returning travelers who were likely bitten by mosquitoes while abroad. While the Olympics is the last thing anyone with a baby on the way is thinking about, Zika threatens to do the impossible and overshadow even the ongoing media scrum around Guanabara Bay's pollution.
With Rio 2016 already scrapping bleachers and stands for sailing, swimming, and paddling events, plans for permanent facilities thrown in the trash, and ticket sales moving at a snail's pace, much of the Brazilian public is wishing its government had stayed away from the 5-ring circus. And perhaps the biggest antidote for those seeking to host more super-events like the Games is this: Some scientists believe the Zika outbreak in Brazil can be traced to African tourists who came over in 2014 to watch the FIFA World Cup.
One SA reader told us there is no screwing around. We'll share his full e-mail:
Good job presenting the scare factor. Yes, Zika is scary shit. So are you ready for an article about the ONLY thing that sailors can do…Get self-protection against mosquito bites with modern, effective mosquito repellents. We call it Personal Protection.

Back in January we told you about a new mosquito-borne illness in the Caribbean, and while we haven't heard reports of any yacht racers being stricken by Chikunguya this winter, we expect next year to be a different story for the Dengue-like disease. The latest report from the Associated Press says that there are "currently more than 4,000 confirmed cases of the fast-spreading chikungunya virus in the Caribbean, most of them in the French Caribbean islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe and St. Martin. Another 31,000 suspected cases have been reported across the region of scattered islands." From 3 cases in December to up to 35,000 in May…and that all happened during the dry season.
The good news is that, like Dengue, Chikunguya is rarely fatal and generally only knocks you down for a week. But like Dengue (and Malaria), even if you get off quickly, victims may suffer lasting pain and other effects for months or years. International health authorities are doing what they can to stave off an epidemic, but as anyone who has spent any time in the tropics knows, it's impossible to 'wipe out' mosquito diseases, so this one is here to stay, at least at some level.
So wear your long shirts and pants and hose yourself down with the DEET next time you're down in the Islands (especially the French ones), and be thankful there's no malaria!

Truth and Objectivity in Law and Morals. Vol. 2
Proceedings of the Second Special Workshop held at the 27th World Congress of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy in Washington D.C., 2015
KurztextObjectivity and truth are highly contested issues in contemporary Legal and Moral Philosophy. There are a full range of approaches, from the very skeptic and pessimistic positions, to the most contemplative and optimistic conceptions, which defend their possibility not only within the theoretical but also within the practical thought. Any possible approach should be diverse enough in order to integrate, among others, the concepts of facts, existence, justifiability, language, emotions, disagreement, and a degree of relatedness between law and morals.
This book addresses these topics from various points of view. It is comprised of a selection of the papers presented at the Second Special Workshop "Truth and Objectivity in Law and Morals" held at the 27th World Congress of the IVR in Washington D.C., USA, 2015. The compilation is divided into four parts that focus on objectivity and truth in law, legal reasoning, and Kelsen's Theory of Law as well as objectivity and truth in morals.

The first meeting will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Monday in city hall, 102 N. Third St.
WILMINGTON | During the next three months, the city of Wilmington will host public meetings to address gang violence.
The meetings are designed to identify short and long-term strategies that can reduce gang violence, according to a news release. The first meeting will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Monday in city hall, 102 N. Third St.
Nearly 300 people representing organizations including nonprofits, law enforcement, businesses, churches and educational institutions have been invited.
The first meeting is designed to define issues that need to be addressed while subsequent meetings will focus on solutions and implementation. In the release, City Manager Sterling Cheatham said law enforcement is only part of the solution.
"What we are trying to do is help coordinate efforts from all sectors of our community and focus their resources to help stop gang violence where it starts," Cheatham said.

Intimate Partner ViolencePage address: http://www.mnsu.edu/varp/howtohelp.html
How do I help a friend or loved one who is in an abusive relationship?
- Approach them in an understanding, open, listening, non-blaming way. Let them know they are not alone in the situation, that you believe them, and that it takes strength to trust someone enough to talk about the abuse.
- Acknowledge that it is scary and difficult to talk about IPV and convey that they do not deserve to be physically, sexually or emotionally abused. Nothing makes the abuser's violence okay. Reassure them that they did the best they could in the situation and made the right decisions at the time.
- Be a supportive friend. Listen and encourage them to express any feelings, including hurt and anger. Allow them to make their own decisions, even if that means not leaving the abusive relationship at that time. Allow them to label and identify their own experience.
- Help plan a safe strategy for leaving the abusive relationship. However, do not encourage anyone to follow a plan they feel may put them at further risk. Consider using a safety plan.
- Avoid shaming them; you care about your friend and want to lead them in the right direction, not turn them away.
- Provide them with information about on-campus and off-campus resources.
If you know the abuser and feel safe talking to her or him, tell that person directly, "I don't want to see you hurting people." Reference specific instances of violence and tell them it bothers you.
Remember that NO ONE deserves to be abused. For any reason. At any time.
