On February 26, 2018, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California denied Facebook, Inc.'s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' consolidated class action complaint for failure to allege a concrete injury in fact under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1). Plaintiffs alleged Facebook's "Tag Suggestions" violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"), 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq., by collecting users' biometric data secretly and without consent. Facebooks' Tag Suggestions program uses "state-of-the-art facial recognition technology" to create and store digital representations called "templates" of people's faces based on the geometric relationship of an individual's unique facial features, such as, "the distance between [a person's] eyes, nose and ears." The basis of the court's review was whether the complaint's allegations were insufficient on their face to invoke federal jurisdiction. Citing Spokeo Inc. v. Robins, 136 S. Ct. 1540 (2016) ("Spokeo I"), the court stated that an intangible harm, such as the violation of a procedural right granted by statute, can be sufficient in some circumstances to constitute injury in fact. The court extended this analysis to apply to state statutes based on Ninth Circuit case law. The dispositive inquiry, according to the court, was whether the statutory provisions were established to protect the plaintiffs' concrete interest, and the specifically alleged procedural violations "actually harm or present a material risk of harm" to those interests. In summary fashion, the court concluded that BIPA codified a right of privacy in personal biometric information. According to the California court, BIPA vests Illinois residents with the "right to control their biometric information by requiring notice before collection and giving residents the power to say no by withholding consent." The court held that abrogating the procedural rights mandated by BIPA necessarily amounts to a "concrete injury." Based on this analysis, the court concluded that Facebook's alleged disregard for Illinois' notice and consent procedures under BIPA caused the precise harm the legislature sought to prevent—the right of an individual to maintain her biometric privacy. Facebook argued that collecting biometrics without notice or consent requires "real-world harms" to support Article III standing. The court disagreed relying on Spokeo I and Ninth Circuit cases that recognize violation of a statutory procedural right in itself can be a sufficient injury.
The court's decision also distinguished cases cited by Facebook to contest the plaintiffs' standing. The court viewed Gubala v. Time Warner Cable, Inc., 846 F.3d 909 (7th Cir. 2017) as distinguishable because it involved an alleged violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act based on the defendant retaining the plaintiff's "social security number," which is data excluded from the definition of a "biometric" under BIPA. The court also distinguished McCullough v. Smarte Carte, Inc., No. 16 C 03777, 2016 WL 4077108 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 1, 2016) and Vigil v. Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., 235 F.Supp.3d 499 (S.D.N.Y. 2017), because the plaintiffs in those cases "knew" their biometric data would be collected before they accepted the services offered by the businesses involved—a "far cry" from the circumstances here—where the court opined that Facebook offered plaintiffs no notice and no opportunity to say no. The court declined to consider Facebook's extrinsic evidence submitted to support that BIPA's notice and consent provisions were actually satisfied, stating that notice and consent were in dispute, and inextricably intertwined with the merits of the plaintiffs' claims which should be decided on summary judgment or at trial.
This decision is at odds with Rosenbach v. Six Flags Entertainment Corp., 2017 IL App (2d) 170317, and other Illinois cases where courts did not find a privacy right inherent in BIPA. These include Sekura v. Krishna Schaumburg Tan, Inc., No. 16 CH 04945 (Cook County Ill. Jan. 16, 2018) (Atkins, J.), and Rottner v. Palm Beach Tan, Inc., No. 15 CH 16695 (Cook County Ill. Mar. 2, 2018) (Gamrath, J.). These Illinois courts rejected general claims of "invasion of privacy" or "actual injury" premised on alleged violations of BIPA's notice and consent provisions. Notably, the Facebook decision did not address Rosenbach.
The case is In re Facebook Biometric Info. Privacy Litig., Docket No. 3:15-cv-03747, and the decision is found here.

When women chart their fertility signs using the Fertility Awareness Method, we've already learned from a recent blog post "Why Cervical Fluid is #1!"
Taking her basal body temperature first thing in the morning usually lets a woman know if she has or hasn't ovulated yet. It doesn't tell her if her fertile time has started (which is VERY important) but it can tell her that her fertile time has ended (another important factor). If she's trying to get pregnant and she sees her temp has gone up, it's often too late to have sex for conception. If she's avoiding pregnancy, she's fertile for the 5 or so days BEFORE her temp goes up… and there's no way to predict the future!
Also, getting accurate morning temperatures is of the utmost importance. If her temps are inaccurate (she slept in, drank alcohol the night before, got up to pee in the middle of the night, is coming down with a cold, etc.), then her chart is inaccurate. If her chart is inaccurate, then any information we try to extrapolate from it will probably be wrong.
Want to know more?!? Contact me… or better yet, come to a class!

As strategies hatched by one state after another to put limits on voters crumbled before federal judges in recent weeks, Louisiana has been blissfully on the sidelines.
No cuts to early voting. No bans on certain IDs. No curbs to absentee ballots. Staring down the barrel of the first presidential election since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted a major section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Louisiana stands out for doing nothing.
It's remarkable in many ways, not the least of which that Louisiana is a Deep South state with a history of racially motivated voter suppression tactics. It was one of nine states covered by the now-moot Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which required any change to voting laws be cleared by the Justice Department or OK'd by a federal judge before it could be enacted.
That section fell away in 2013 when the Supreme Court called the formula to require a state, county, or town undergo so-called pre-clearance outdated.
State legislatures, almost exclusively controlled by Republicans, have pushed varying levels of voter restrictions for years, claiming concerns over widespread voter fraud. Critics have accused those lawmakers of discriminating against minority voters who overwhelmingly favor Democrats.
And the federal courts have agreed with increasing frequency that those new laws were improperly based on race.
Without the shield of the Voting Right Act's Sections 4 and 5, states no longer had the burden to prove their proposed laws were nondiscriminatory. Voters now had to show they were being discriminated against under Section 2 of the law.
While thought to be a tougher standard, the recent string of defeats for stricter voter laws shows the Voting Right's Act still has some teeth.
Federal district courts shot down laws in North Carolina, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Kansas in the last week of July alone. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans struck down a Texas law July 20 that had tried to implement one of the strictest voter ID laws in the country. It ordered the lower court to examine whether that law was racially discriminatory and implied it be fixed before the Nov. 8 election.
There are many reasons why Louisiana hasn't joined that list.
Brian Marks, a political geographer with LSU, gives partial credit to Tom Schedler, the state's top elections officer, despite his public support of the 2013 Supreme Court ruling. Schedler has paved the way for more voters to register online and made mail-in ballots and voting information more accessible.
"We've had a secretary of state who seems to pride himself on opening voter registration to more people. That's something to note," Marks said.
But the main reason is that Louisiana is not exactly in play. It's a solid Republican red on the presidential map. Voter registration laws tend to be more vulnerable in swing states, such as Wisconsin and Virginia.
Louisiana is also broke. Hobbled by a recurring budget crisis, it can ill-afford to fight a protracted court battle over a Section 2 complaint.
The state has even been amenable to fixing past wrongs. After two civil rights groups -- the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Fair Elections Legal Network -- sued in May, Gov. John Bel Edwards and lawmakers quickly agreed to overturn a 142-year-old law that once forced foreign-born, naturalized citizens to face greater requirements to register to vote.
"I don't know if that would have happened in another state," said Jon Sherman, an attorney with the Fair Elections Legal Network. "They don't have money to gamble in federal court."
Louisiana's voter ID law has been around since 1997, but it's considered a "non-strict" requirement. Almost anything issued with a photo and identifying personal information qualifies, from drivers' licenses to student IDs to hunting licenses. And if someone without a photo ID can sign an affidavit swearing they are who they say they are and vote.
That doesn't mean Louisiana is on the progressive side of open voting laws. It doesn't allow people to register and vote on the same day, for instance. And only felons convicted of certain crimes retain their right to vote.
"It's not as permissive as many states. It's certainly not as restrictive as some," Marks said. "We're more or less in the middle range."
That's not to say voting in Louisiana is always copacetic. Parishwide elections, rather than district-based races, have historically been used to tamp down the voting strength of minorities. A 2014 lawsuit in Terrebonne Parish seeks to end such a practice, which favors white judicial candidates. Only 30 percent of residents there aren't white, according to the latest census data. The parish's NAACP branch wants to create district judgeships rather than at-large seats, including one where minority voters are the majority.
Louisiana has also used gerrymandering, the drawing of contorted voting districts to either concentrate or dilute blocs of voters. A blatant example was the so-called "Zorro" congressional district, which existed between 1992 and 1995. It was a thin, Z-shaped line that stretched across the entire state to include almost all the African-American enclaves. A panel of federal judges deemed it unconstitutional in 1994 and it was redrawn.
Because race and party in Louisiana are so closely entwined -- black citizens tending to vote Democrat and white citizens voting Republican -- the rub becomes determining the motivations of those drawing the districts to find a violation of the Voting Rights Act. They can't discriminate based by race, but they sure can by political affiliation.
"It's not illegal to gerrymander or discriminate against Democrats," Marks said.

Article author: Asatro News / Published: 15th day of Þrimilce-mōnaþ 2264.RE / 15th day of Þrimilce-mōnaþ 2014
Our civilization, our race, our society in order to operate at our highest capacity must be formed of individuals who themselves operate at their highest capacity, who are true to the archetype of Odin: the All-father and the God of the eternal pursuit of knowledge. This can only be achieved through a powerful , spiritual level of motivation pushing individuals to strive towards their highest capacity intellectually, physically, emotionally, spiritually, economically and socially, to hold such a pursuit as integral to ones very spirituality, to hold success as a spiritual and ultimately genetic pursuit is Asatru. Asatru is a way of life that surgically removes and annihilates mediocrity and safeguards against its return. Asatru was only ever overcome by sheer military force, the existence of nuclear weapons now prevent any Rome like entity from militarily changing our socieities.
Asatru itself will motivate all Nordic and Germanic folk worldwide to excel to such an extent that a 3rd division between nations will emerge, between ourselves and the non-Nordic and non-Germanic nations of mainland and Southern Europe, and even the partially Germanic nations that exist but fail to return to the way of their ancestors. Nordic and Germanic nations would surge ahead into first world+ nations, leaving the merely 'first world' nations behind, along with the third world.
This is the inevitable outcome that will emerge between our Nordic and Germanic nations once we are unleashed to follow a spirituality that is 100% true to the Æsir and those European nations that do not, for Asatru is following the archetypes that guide our evolution towards perfection, thus pursuing a path towards genetic perfection will inevitably leave behind all those who do not pursue their archetypal genetic interests. The closest understanding the conscious mind can get to a pure understanding of our genetic motivations is through an empirical and scientific understanding of the processes of evolution, but to actually feel and be motivated by genetics, you have to value that understanding, that motivation to act in accordance with our highest and purest genetic interests can only be achieved by the majority of our population through a spiritual-intensity pursuit.
Which is why our enemies seek to promote Christianity, because even a Nationalistic Christianity will fail by default, in the conscious of our Germanic and Nordic folk, it failed a thousand years ago and has merely been declining ever since.
The non Germanic spiritual influence of the Semitic religions are horrifically degrading, the influences of the Romans (Latin) and Greeks are also damaging, for they are not our ancestral spiritualities, they are superior by far to Semitic Christianity, none-the-less they are not naturally native to our racial culture, history and spirituality, they do not fit our racial, spiritual and cultural archetypes and tendencies but have become established through mere force and status-quo adherence.
The entire old political class were taught Roman and Greek for a reason, to remove any Nordic or Germanic identity from within them, ensuring a disloyalty to the Germanic and Nordic English peoples, our racial spiritualities, culture and history, combined with Semitic, often Catholic Christianity, the hostility of our political class to ourselves was inevitable.
This corruption at its foundation is Semitic, the importation of Roman culture and Greek culture was ultimately through the Jewish dominated trade and military expeditions of the Roman empire, even before Constantine finally capitulated to Jewish-Subversives in officially adopting the Jewish weapon of Christianity, the proto-variant of modern Marxism, bolshevism and all spiritual, cultural and historical corruptions since.
The dominance of Jews in both the historical and contemporary Churches proves the anti-European racial origins of Christianity beyond rational denial. Greek and Roman influences, as with Christian influences are inferior to our pure Germanic and pure Nordic philosophy and culture, we can only reach our cultural and racial generational epitome through following the purest outlook of our ancestors for the duration of our lives.
Through purifying our own individual lives, and striving in accordance with the Æsir, Asatru folk can start to re-establish strong communities and literally re-take pre-existing communities through educational literature and inspirational examples of moral courage on behalf of our right to exist as English racial folk, and as Germanic and Nordic beings, especially in the face of oppression (political correctness) and anti-English hypocrisy emanating from the enemies of our folk.
Our ancestral, organic, biologically rooted spiritual beliefs are the only eternal, efficient and effective mechanism for motivating our folk towards the highest echelon of our own individual capacities, through which our highest echelon of cohesion and racial culture can be sustained on a familial and societal and then national level. Asatru must eventually annihilate all Semitic cultural, spiritual and political influences and return to its rightful place as the spirituality, racial culture and un-compromising, un-flinching, relentless motivational driving force in the extraordinary lives of our elegant, ethereal, extraordinary Nordic & Germanic folk.
On an individual level, you must first purify your moral consciousness, heighten your intellect, deepen your knowledge, purify your biological and physical life conditions and purify your outlook.
Through an inspired pursuit towards self-perfection, inspired by the Gods and Goddesses, from the God of Justice Tyr, through to Thor, God of War, Odin God of Knowledge, Idunna Goddess of eternal life and health, to Frey and Freyjia, God and Goddess of fertility.
The Gods and Goddesses of our folk spirituality are the archetypes of the ideal forms that an individual and thus through each and every individual, our entire nation should emulate, amplify and live in accordance with, in an unleashed form of being, without the chains of mediocre moralities and outlooks, aspiring towards honouring the Gods and Goddesses through your own self perfection. Before our nation can be re-taken hundreds of purified, pure-hearted Nationalistic Asatru folk will be required to wage war on behalf of our folk, politically, culturally and spiritually.
Only through the purest individuals can a nation be re-awakened, re-taken and re-birthed into its age of purity, perfection and persevering racial pride.
Those Jewish-Supremacists who currently rule tyrannically over us, and all their ideological and racial victims, who enable their defilement to continue, will all be laid down and cast to the mud and drowned-out of politics and every aspect of our nation, into the putrid mud of their own defilement and rendered unto a political sacrifice before the ritual-like, purifying resurgence of our ancestral Germanic & Nordic: English Gods and Goddesses that shall rise within and in the highest echelons of the spirits of our folk.

If you haven't seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and don't want to be spoiled, you shouldn't read this post.
Michael Rooker's Yondu, even compared to the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, has a much more significant role in the sequel. After the Ravagers pull a mutiny against Yondu for, time after time, letting Peter Quill off the hook, we finally find out why Yondu always lets Peter off the hook.
Yes, Peter does finally meet his real father, Ego (played by Kurt Russell), but unfortunately for Peter, Ego is a living planet god who wants to destroy the universe with Peter by his side – an offer Peter rejects. (Ego is not happy about this decision.)
And then there's poor Yondu who, it turns out, was never going to "eat" Peter as he had threatened time after time. And Yondu never kept Peter around because he was "small and could steal things." The truth is Yondu was trying to save Peter from Ego – and Yondu eventually looked at Peter as his own son. Which is why, at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Yondu sacrifices his own life to save Peter in a surprisingly (for a Guardians movie) earnest and touching scene.
It's like the audience realizes it collectively: Oh, yeah, we really did like Yondu all along and now it's too late.
"I didn't want that to be the ending, and I kind of refused to put that in as the ending for a long time," admits James Gunn, the film's writer and director. "It wasn't how the movie ended."
"Well, I didn't want him to write it either," adds Rooker.
Gunn continues, "But, at the end of the day, I knew that's where it needed to go. I knew that we need to have real stakes in these movies. We need to lose characters. And not everyone who sees Marvel movies loves that."
And this often comes up as a complaint in Marvel movies, that no major characters ever die. Up until now, the biggest death was Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but it was a character we barely knew at that point. By the time we lose Yondu, we do really care about him.
"They don't love losing characters," says Gunn. "But for the characters to really make a difference, to really make their lives mean something, you needs to have these kinds of losses."
"What are we going to do? You know?," asks Rooker, who clearly doesn't want to give up Yondu. "But it worked so well for this story in this movie. That's what really worked. And, yeah, what are you going to do? And it's for the good of the movie."
"Michael Rooker is, for all the shit I give him all the time, he's one of my closest friends in the world," says Gunn. "I can't imagine having to make a movie without him."

Late Night Brownies
When someone (no names shall be mentioned here) comes up to you about 9:00 at night and says, "I really need something delicious!", you could run out to the store and try to hunt up something special, or you could make Late Night Brownies which take all of 12-15 minutes from start to finish!
These brownies are thin, chewy, and ridiculously easy to make. You don't even need a mixer and they're made with ingredients you're likely to have in your pantry and fridge, which helps with the late night theme (no after-hours running out to the store for unusual ingredients necessary). After you've melted the chocolate and butter together, everything gets mixed in one bowl and then spread into a very thin layer in the pan and baked.
Ten minutes later, you are rewarded with fresh hot brownies!! If you're patient enough to let them cool for 2-3 minutes, (some of us are not) you can even remove them from the pan in large squares which you can leave as is or cut into triangles.
And if you want to make someone really happy, you can even make little ice cream sandwiches
Plus, this makes a small batch, so if you don't want lots of leftovers tempting you all week, this is your go-to recipe! And by the way, these also do the trick in the afternoon, early evening, late morning, after lunch, whenever you're short on time, but craving that chocolate taste, which makes them sort of...timeless!
Late Night Brownies
Makes 12 large squares or 24 triangles
Prep Time: 5 minutes; Bake Time: 8-10 minutes
1 square unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
The Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray a 9x13 inch pan well with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside
2. Either in a microwave safe bowl or in a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together. Remove from heat and add rest of ingredients. Stir well and pour into the prepared pan. Using a spatula, spread into an even thin layer.
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack 2-3 minutes and using a sharp knife, cut into large squares. With a wide metal spatula, carefully transfer to rack to finish cooling. If brownies seem too soft to move, wait another minute or so. When cool either leave as is or cut squares in half into triangles.
4. Brownies keep stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

ARJE Annual Gathering
The Nachshon Effect: Facing the Sea of Change
Washington, DC
January 14-16, 2019
Omni Shoreham HotelARJE Virtual Ad Journal DC 2019
Successful Jewish educational leaders need to be effective, skilled, and capable change agents. The world around us is in a rapid state of change that doesn't stop at the gateways to our learning environments. Leaders must be able to see a 360-degree view of the changing landscape in which we work. Successful Jewish educators respond to the rapid pace of change by evaluating and determining whether to implement new ideas and programming in our learning communities.
There are many theories of change and frequent opportunities to implement change. Educational leaders design appropriate change processes for different projects. Each change process requires both an element of leadership and an element of tsimtsum – leaders must know when to draw back and let the process unfold. Leaders find partners and build alliances. The ARJE Gathering will provide opportunities to network, share, mentor, develop strategies and learn about change processes.
Enduring Understanding:
The world around us is in a rapid state of change that has a powerful effect on our institutions and on our responsibilities as Jewish educational leaders.
Essential Questions
- How do educational leaders stay aware of events and trends that impact our institutions and learners?
- When might educational leaders decide to participate in a change process?
- What skills and capacities do educational leaders need to be successful change agents?
- How do educational leaders collaborate with stakeholders in order to effectively implement change?

Plastic Surgery 101
Are there non-surgical treatments for droopy eyebrows?
Q. Dr. Wolf, I have droopy eyebrows and I'm in my mid 20s. I would like to have them elevated but I don't want to have surgery. Is there any nonsurgical treatment that you can recommend?
A. There are two non-surgical techniques you can use for brow elevation. First, and my favorite one, is Botox or Dysport. Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins that can be used to balance the muscles in the forehead in order to elevate the brows. When choosing a physician to do Botox or Dysport, it is important to find a doctor with significant experience. By injecting in the proper location, the elevator muscles of the forehead strengthened and the brows are lifted. If, however, care is not taken, the brows can become droopy and you will look sad.
Another great way to get brow elevation is the use of facial fillers. Facial fillers are injectable materials used to make the eyebrow appear as if it were elevated. There are a multitude of hyaluronic acids that may be used, which include Restylane, Juvederm and Voluma, to name a few. Another great filler which is calcium based is Radiesse. Most of fillers may last six months up to two years. They are very effective and generally safe when injected properly. If all else fails, you may require a surgical intervention such as a brow lift that may be done in the hairline or behind the hairline safely and with minimal scarring.

Main objectives of the CLYMA project
The Global Project aims to develop core network corridors as instruments to facilitate the coordinated implementation of the core network, based on modal integration, interoperability, as well as on a coordinated development and management of infrastructures, and therewith lead to resource-efficient multimodal transport. Core network corridors shall provide a coordinated approach with regard to infrastructure use and investments, and therefore allow for most efficient management capacities. Multimodal infrastructure within core network corridors shall be built and coordinated, wherever needed, in ways that optimise the use of each transport mode and their cooperation. The core network corridors shall support the comprehensive deployment of interoperable traffic management systems.
The main objectives of the Action are to:
- develop an efficient intermodal managerial structure for the Axis as a pilot system for the whole Corridor
- develop the "green corridor" concept in the Lyon – Madrid Axis as a pilot system scalable to the whole Corridor
- identify the main bottlenecks on the corridor and to propose solutions to these bottlenecks
- develop an analysis of supply and demand on the Axis
- develop a strategic plan for the ICT integration among the Axis agents and administrations in order
- facilitate the coordination and execution of intermodal activities
- develop an efficient promotion of the Axis as a section of the Mediterranean Corridor

When the news is all over the newspapers that the Immigration Minister Peter Dutton visited Wagga Wagga to celebrate the Yazidi New Year with 250 Yazidi refugees yesterday, you can't help asking "What is the Yazidi New Year?"
The Yazidis are an ethnically Kurdish religious community, originally from Iraq, Turkey and Syria. The Yazidi New Year is also called Sere Sal, which means "Head of the Year". It's usually celebrated on a Wednesday of April, and one major celebrative activity is colouring eggs (coincidentally the same as the Easter), commemorating the beginning of spring and new cycle of life and rebirth.

As a parent of a pre-schooler I am yet to discover the wonders of what to do with him once the summer holidays hit. But I know enough mums and dads with children of all school ages who really dread the summer holidays and how they are going to keep them occupied enough not to hear the words "I'm bored". Planning for the summer holidays is no doubt underway in some homes already. Well, parents of teens in and around Dublin who may be too old for traditional summer camps, I've got you covered. Why not get your teens cooking with Dublin Cookery School this summer on one of their Growing Gourmets courses.
For quite a number of years now the Dublin Cookery School has run two week-long summer courses for teens aged between 12 and 16, both in June, in a bid to get them cooking and interested in getting into the kitchen more.
I became aware of these courses when a colleague of my mum's mentioned that her son was too old for summer camps but was desperate to attend something like it. That's where Dublin Cookery School came into play.
The aim of Growing Gourmets over the course of the week is to not only improve the teens cooking skills, but also introduce them to new techniques in the kitchen while discovering new tastes and recipes they can recreate at home.
This could be a win-win situation. As their confidence increases while mastering new skills, you could find the kitchen taken over and a range of new dishes being served up as they learn to make things like Soda Bread (my person favourite), Thai Meatballs and Lemon Drizzle cake.
Classes are small and held in a fun and relaxed environment where you can be guaranteed lots of one to one interaction between your teen and the friendly and supportive tutors. The programs are unique and could be just the ticket to start off the summer holidays for your teens. It's like a summer camp with a food playground.
It's also a great way to strike a balance between teaching your teens a great life skill while creating some fun-filled memories too. The teen son of my mum's work colleague absolutely loved his week at Dublin Cookery School.
There are two courses in June this year. The first is a four-day course (6th June) and the second is a five-day course (19th June), costing €250 and €295 respectively. Each day lasts from 10am until 3pm.
Lunch and a recipe book are provided, as are all ingredients, so there's no need to worry about additional costs like sending ingredients or lunch/snacks with your teens. Dublin Cookery School is located in Brookfield Terrace, Blackrock, close to both the DART line and bus stops.
So, if you have a budding Jamie Oliver or Darina Allen, why not get your teens cooking with Dublin Cookery School this summer. BattleKid enjoys being in the kitchen with both myself and Lolo, a retired chef, and were he older, I'd be looking into something like this for him!
For more information about the course or to book a place for your teens, please visit the Dublin Cookery School website.
And what better way to get your teens cooking with Dublin Cookery School than with some supplies. The lovely people at Dublin Cookery School have kindly offered one of my Irish readers the chance to win a copy of From Lynda's Table cookbook, the owner of Dublin Cookery School, and a Dublin Cookery School goodie bag too. To be in with a chance to enter, please click the widget below and follow the instructions. And good luck!

FRAMINGHAM — Tony Abamelik kept the legacy of Brandolini Shoe Repair alive for more than 15 years before being evicted by a developer building apartments.
Since 1931, the shop has been the go-to place to get shoes, boots and other leather goods repaired in downtown Framingham. Abamelik bought the shop from Emilio and Virginia Brandolini, who ran it for 45 years.
"A lot of people don't believe it," Abamelik said of the closing. "I'm talking about 87 years. Who else has been in business for 87 years?"
He was told to leave the space by the end of May. Being too young to retire, he now shares space in his brother Oleg's shoe repair shop on Pond Street in Natick.
"My customers are coming here now," Abamelik said. "We're getting older and we work together now, so we don't have to work too much."
In the coming weeks, VTT Management of Framingham is set to start construction on 75 apartments at the corner of Union Avenue and Proctor Street after the commercial Crouch building, which holds several businesses, is knocked down.
Vaios Theodorakos, VTT's founder and CEO, planned to build around the shop, and never intended to force Abamelik out. However, structural engineers determined that the original owners of the shop jerry-rigged the 300-square-foot space between the Crouch and Wilsonia buildings with beams and railroad ties - and no one either noticed or enforced it.
"It was done in the cloak of the night. It was an alleyway and illegally built without a permit. The outside walls of the two buildings are the inside walls of his shop," Theodorakos said. "I own properties all over the country and I've never seen anything like this."
The space does not meet code and has no alarm system, heating or restroom. There is no way to demolish the Crouch building without the space collapsing, he said.
Theodorakos said even he's been a longtime customer of Abamelik.
"Everyone gets their shoes fixed there," Theodorakos said. "It's a staple of downtown."
Growing up in the Ukraine, Abamelik started making new shoes at 14. He came to the U.S. in 1991 and owned other shops at different times in Marlborough and Brookline before buying Brandolini's.
"Nobody wanted to buy it for years," he said.
He specializes in orthopedics and converting shoe height for leg length discrepancy.
"People are looking for this kind of service," he said. "Nobody else does this. People cannot walk without it."
Besides shoes, Abamelik repairs luggage, horse-riding gear and accessories. He also makes custom belts, passport books, checkbook covers, key chains and portfolios.
"There are not many left - who else is left that does shoes?" he asked rhetorically.
Theodorakos said he offered Abamelik a spot the same size in the nearby Hemenway Building for the same rent; shared space with another tenant; or to wait until construction of the new building is done.
Abamelik said the space was on the second floor and would be tough to haul his equipment up there and draw customers.
Also, the rent in downtown Framingham is too steep for his one-man business, he said.
A decade ago, Oleg Abamelik's shop in Natick, Cobbler Shop West, was destroyed by a fire that started across the street.
The transition allows the two to work half days and to care for their mother in a nursing home. The two typically worked six days a week, for 10 hours a day.
"He knows what he is doing, I know what I'm doing," said Oleg Abamelik.
Tony Abamelik said a Brandolini family member reached out to ask why he closed the shop.
"Framingham will never have a shoe repair place ever," he said. "Framingham is a huge town and there's nobody."

The Power of Education in Effecting Change
This is the title of the International Federation of University Women's (IFUW) new Programme for Action that aims to enable women to achieving equity in all aspects of life. IFUW has chosen to focus on four themes: Education for Empowerment and Leadership, Education for Freedom from Violence, Education for Financial Independence, Employment and Entrepreneurship and Education for Sustainable Futures. A special cross-cutting theme has been chosen as a focus for work at the international level for the next three years (2010 – 2013): "Education for the Realization of Rights".
The 2010-2013 Programme for Action was launched and discussed during the 2010 IFUW conference in Mexico City. FAWG was well represented in the conference as key members were able to attend and participate in this international conference of all women graduate organisations. This Programme is now currently being implemented through various projects and campaigns not only in FAWG but also in other graduate women federations and associations.
Here are excerpts from the document about the four core areas of the Programme:
Education for Empowerment and Leadership
Raise awareness and understanding and create opportunities through ongoing formal and informal education for women and girls to become literate, knowledgeable and independent and take an equal role in leadership and decision-making in both individual and public life.
Education for Freedom from Violence
Raise awareness and understanding of what constitutes violence and how to take action to create environments in which nations, communities and individuals can prosper free from physical, psychological, economic, social and cultural violence.
Education for Financial Independence, Employment & Entrepreneurship
Raise awareness and understanding for women and girls to become financially literate and learn to understand how to obtain and manage finances and other resources, matters essential for women's autonomy. And by doing this, create opportunities for women to become employed, self-employed and / or entrepreneurs.
Education for Sustainable Futures
Raise awareness and create opportunities through ongoing formal and informal education on how to live in a way that sustains environmental, social and economic processes and ensures a just distribution of resources.

The Spanish Christians policy to split the ranks of Muslims
Compiled By: Syed Ali Shahbaz
On May 21, 1403 AD, Henry III of the region of Castile in Spain, as part of the Christian policy to split the ranks of Muslims, who were advancing into southwestern Europe and still controlled southern Spain, sent Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo as ambassador to Samarqand to the court of Amir Timur to discuss the possibility of an alliance against the Ottoman Empire. Clavijo, who travelled through the Byzantine capital Constantinople to Armenia, Iran, and finally Central Asia, was granted a long-sought audience by Timur in a great orchard with a palace therein, which he calls the paradise garden of Iranian tradition. He gives a detailed description of court life including trained elephants and the tent-pavilions of jewel-and pearl-encrusted silks.
The Castilian embassy spent several months in Samarqand, during which time Clavijo attended celebrations for Timur's recent victory at Ankara in July 1402, over the Ottoman sultan, Bayezid I, who was captured and brought to Central Asia as captive, much to the relief of the Christians of Europe. Although the fearsome Timur did not sign any treaty with the Christians, the vast majority of his victims were the millions of fellow Muslims his armies slaughtered from Eurasia to West Asia and from Iran to the Subcontinent.

The Arch club Brighton
The Juke once again supported Fatboy Slim at a sold out venue, this time on home soil in good old Brighton.
Performing in a 360 round stage with the crowd surrounding and a sound system that will lift you off your feet, the Juke kicked the night off at 10pm and had the packed out club room jumping in a frenzy, ' Playing for 2 hours before one of the biggest DJs in the world and in what feels like a classic old but exciting venue is great fun'
The night went even crazier when Fatboy himself took over the reins from the Juke and stepped up to the stage at midnight, the Juke has been synonymous in supporting Fatboy half a dozen times now, and he just keeps getting better.
'I have a new track due for release this year (2018) written and produced with my long time good friend and amazing producer Lee Pepper, we have more coming too which we are really pleased about'
You can catch the Juke playing soon in 2018.

The Bears Present a Problem For Detroit Lions Defense
10 months agoThe Detroit Lions defense has a tough spot in Week 10, getting to face the Bears in Chicago. Last week, the Lions gave up just 283 yards of offense but still lost 24-9. That total is their second lowest of the season; however, the offense was not able to get the job done. This week, they get to face a Chicago Bears team that is looking to extend their win streak to three. The Lions only have three interceptions this season, but they have allowed the second fewest passing yards in the league with 1,717 yards. However, their run defense counteracts that as they allow 142.5 yards per game on the ground, third most in the league. Look for Chicago to get ahead early and run the ball down the Lions' throat, likely meaning another long day on the road for Detroit.

We were really happy to finally meet 3-year-old knight Zdenda who is fighting bravely with his dragon – this is how they call a rare disease, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (the same disease Stephan Hawking had, but Zdenda is in more serious state). We gave to his family 7.830 CZK – gains from our Halloween party and asked them how are they doing.
We couldn't be happier, but to hear only great news! Last year, the insurance company finally approved a new type of therapy – Spinraza, which turned the disease upside down and Zdenda is gaining back his abilities to move muscles, which he was loosing progressively. At the moment, he is even able to stand on his own for a very short time and thanks to new therapy and intensive rehabilitation, he is still improving. The family gives huge hopes into a gene therapy that is already successfully implemented in the USA and if approved in Europe this could even mean that they can win over the dragon for good one day! Until then Zdenda is just like any other 3-year-old boy – teasing his older brother, chasing him in his electric super buggy and even trying to ski in a special slide. If you want to find out more, you can have a look @Zdenda a drak.Photo: Our colleague Jirka who proposed support of Zdenda a Drak with Zdenda

There comes a time in every Mud Run when simply splashing through thick brown water won't do. Nor will more slogging waist-deep in the mud.
No. At some point, you're going to have to stick your head all the way into the muck: Total muddy immersion.
Check out more images of this year's Mud Run
That came about two-thirds of the way through Saturday's 6.2-mile fundraising run for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's North Florida chapter.
Runners approached an obstacle called Over and Unders about two-thirds dirty, but relatively clean from the chest up.
Now they faced four logs placed across an oozing pit of watery mud. They had to go under one log, then over the other. Then repeat.
Uh-uh, said Jennifer Freeman of the Mudbloods, a group of nurses from St. Augustine. She wasn't about to dunk her head, no matter how much mud-thirsty spectators urged her on: "Under! Under!"
So she angled her chin and daintily slipped under the first log - still clean. The second log she clambered over. The third, though, rested at water level. No way around it, and there was no turning back - so under she went, coming up gasping and spitting.
"That was disgusting," said Ashley Doyle of the Mud Honies. "You don't know who's been in there."
Such disgustingness seemed to do little, however, to dampen the enthusiasm of those at the increasingly popular event at the Taye Brown Regional Park Sports Complex on Jacksonville's Westside.
In three years, the Mud Run MS has grown from 990 to more than 4,000 sloggers, said Sara Conrad of the Multiple Sclerosis Society's North Florida chapter. The group hopes to raise $700,000 in registration fees and pledges.
Runners had walls and rope bridges to cross, mud mountains to climb and mud pools to swim.
Toward the end of the course, Jacksonville Beach lifeguards Richard Ghiotto and Eli Phillips guarded the Mud Pit, an imposing stretch of 10-feet deep latte-colored water.
They almost jumped in as Irene Rivera floundered at the edge, balking at going further into the depths. "Too short!" she cried. "Too short!"
Her fellow Dirty Docs, medical personnel at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, urged her through it, then helped the exhausted Rivera stagger onto muddy ground.
"You think you could do it on your own," she said. "But you know? It's great to have someone at your back."
So close to the end, just one challenge stood in the way: The Leap of Faith, a platform poised above a watery mud pit deep enough that everyone who jumped in disappeared for a second or two.
Some held their noses, like kids at a swimming pool. Others froze, eyeing the opaque muck waters as seconds ticked away. A few did enthusiastic cannonballs, splashing camera-clutching spectators.
Brad Hamilton of Green Cove Springs' Eat Drink and Be Muddy topped them all and did a regal back flip, drawing oohs in the ooze.
Was it planned?
He smiled muddily. "Impromptu."

I wrote in awhile back regarding rabbits eating my veggies. I received a number of responses and I actually purchased a friendly trap so that I could catch and release it in the surrounding countryside. I gave up trying to save my garden after catching sight of the culprit though. (He doesn't eat that much.) At first we thought it was a neighbor's pet, because it didn't seem to be too afraid of us.
The following day I shot the second photo from our front yard. I haven't seen him since. He comes and goes at will. I explained on my blog that he's the original Easter Bunny and the youngsters in my extended family were delighted to finally see the elusive fellow actually exists. Now, if I could just capture the real Tooth Fairy too, I'll be legendary.
I really do enjoy The Happy Garden Newsletter. Keep up the great work!

Lots of wild rabbits are quite tame. Some will even come if you whistle. Some, when they get used to you, will follow you around. Don't try to touch one, though -- they will bite!
He's a big one! When we stayed at one of the resorts at Disney World they were all over the place!
We have tons of rabbits and squirrels, moles and even raccoons in our backyard and front. We have just put in a veggie garden and we also have an orchard. I found it most useful to have clover all over by the garden or even away. The clover actually attracts them to the clover and they will stay away from your veggies. Good Luck!
Let them eat clover? I wouldn't try to fool the Easter Bunny. Or try to catch the Tooth Fairy. You're talking serious repercussions.

The second face of the instrument carries at the centre the hour diagram for an Italian hours dial (9 to 23) for latitudes 43 and 44? with meridian line named to the right and a calendar scale marked to the left. Beneath the diagram is a scale of 90? reading to one degree and beneath this the inscription 'QUADRANS AD LATITVDINEM GRAD{UUM} XXXXIII et XXXXIIII'. To the left of the calendar scale is the signature to the right of the meridian line the information 'LINEAE PVNCTORVM POST MERID{IEM}' ('Dotted lines afternoon'). Above the hour diagram is a shadow square of twelve divided in four numbered groups of three. At the top of the instrument two pierced sights are set with, between them, the dedication 'AD. MARCELLVM. M.'. The handle carries a scale of three rings the middle one of which is a scale of months, the outer the initial letters of the zodiac signs (two to each month), and the inner a series of twelve numbers '7 8 6 6 5 5 4 4 4 3 4 5' represented by the letters of the alphabet 'A' to 'H' (1 to 8). At the centre of the diagram is the number 'XIII'.
Provenance: one of a group of twelve instruments which belonged to Professor Pietri Marchi and were presented to the museum by the heirs of his daughter.
