On January 18, ...
Significant Cases
- In the precedent setting case, Anderson Union High School District v. Shasta Secondary Home School (2016) 4 Cal.App.5th 262, Ms. Macy argued before the Third District Court of Appeal, and was part of the Lozano Smith team that prevailed when the Court confirmed that the geographic and site limitations of the Charter Schools Act (Ed. Code, § 47600 et seq.) are applicable to all charter schools, including "nonclassroom-based" programs.
- In New Jerusalem Elementary School District v. Academy of Arts & Sciences Charter School, San Joaquin County Superior Court Case No. STC-cv-UMC-2016-1072, Ms. Macy was part of the Lozano Smith team obtaining a $1.5 million settlement on behalf of New Jerusalem School District against a charter schools for recovery of funds allocated to two charter schools previously operated by the charter schools, which became dependent charter schools operated by the District. The settlement was reached after Lozano Smith successfully argued that such funds belonged and should follow the students to which the funding was allocated by the State. The charter school argued that any funds not expended on instruction properly belonged to the nonprofit operating the schools, a practice commonly known as "sweeping" – and which is prevalent in charter management organizations that have ties to for-profit service providers.
- In an audit appeal by Orinda Union School District, the Education Audit Appeals Panel determined the District's auditor erred in applying legal standards during an audit that were not applicable at the time the District's questioned conduct occurred. As a result, the District retained over $635,000 in State Funding for its academic programs. (Appeal of 2009-10 Audit Finding 10-07 by Orinda Union School District, EAAP Case No. 11-13.)

Learn about the temperament and personality of the Bulldog. Discover what he's like to live with, his traits and characteristics and how he generally behaves.
Bulldog Temperament
The Bulldog, also known as the English Bulldog, is friendly, calm, gentle, and good-natured. He is a couch-potato! He loves to curl up on the couch and sleep all day. He's stubborn and unwavering. If he doesn't want to do something, you'll have a hard time getting him to do it! His clownish behavior will make you laugh. He forms a strong bond with children and is very good with them. He thrives on lots of attention and love from his family. He can be a very destructive chewer so give him plenty of chew toys and hide your slippers. He's a homebody; he isn't the kind of dog to wander off and prefers to stay in the yard close to home. He drools and slobbers a lot — especially after eating and drinking (expect mess). He often has wind (flatulence) and it can be quite smelly. He snores loudly and snuffles, snorts and grunts frequently. His flat face and short nose causes him to overheat in hot weather. If he does you will need to take him inside in the air conditioning or allow him to rest in the shade until he cools down.
Bulldog Training
The Bulldog is the hardest to train of all dog breeds. He learns new commands slower than all other breeds. You will need to be extra patient when Training him.
Bulldog Shedding
The Bulldog sheds a fair amount of hair. You'll find hair stuck to your couch, carpets, clothes and everything else in your home.
Bulldog Grooming
The short coat of the Bulldog only requires an occasional brushing. But because he sheds you may find yourself brushing him once or twice a week to remove loose hair. (What you get out with a brush doesn't fall out in your home!)

CHALFONT, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A survey of small business owners and marketers released today by global email marketing software provider AWeber found that while more than 94 percent said online marketing was very important to the growth of their business, only 12 percent identified themselves as online marketing "pros." Additionally, 29 percent said they were a bit overwhelmed by online marketing, while 60 percent said they were better at using certain channels more than others. The survey, conducted in December 2013, included 1,486 respondents gathered from the AWeber customer base of small business owners and marketers.
Despite their apparent lack of expertise, small businesses marketers remain eager to increase their use of online marketing channels in 2014. Among the findings of the survey:
- 89 percent said they plan to increase their email marketing efforts
- 74 percent said they'll blog more
- 76 percent plan to increase their use of Facebook for marketing
- 60 percent will increase their use of Twitter for marketing
"We know that small business owners have a lot on their plates and that despite their best efforts, many aren't professional marketers," said Erik Harbison, CMO of AWeber. "That's why we try to deliver more than just a great product. We provide our customers with educational tips and tools on our blog, website and through our Customer Solutions team to make their marketing efforts the most effective and as easy as possible."
Of those surveyed, more than 91 percent said that their owner or CEO primarily fulfills the marketing function for the company. Additionally, 96 percent of those surveyed have 5 or less employees including themselves.
Among the additional findings, some small business marketers indicated they plan to explore more visual social media tools this year.
The top three tools chosen:
- Vine (22 percent)
- Instagram (20 percent)
- Pinterest (17 percent)
But when asked to rank what marketing channels drive the best return on investment, email marketing and word of mouth beat out social media tactics and turned out to be the top winning marketing strategies.

27 October (Part 2) - Lack of moral fibre too?
A couple of weeks ago Bexley Council was bemoaning the fact that
25,000 homes
in Bexley lacked access to fibre optic broadband. Deputy Director Paul Moore said
that fostering good relations with BT was "critical".
A week or so before that BiB gave a little publicity to the campaign to get Broadband into the Bellegrove Road area of Welling the absence of which would appear to be directly attributable to an unhelpful and failing Bexley Council.
Yesterday BT itself chipped in with its two-pennyworth posted to the campaign website
We have been in dispute with Bexley Council concerning permits to undertake streetworks and this was preventing us undertaking any work in the borough to deploy fibre broadband. I'm pleased to say that the dispute has now been resolved and we have resumed delivery work.
The street cabinet serving your home is one of those that our Openreach team is planning to upgrade, subject to there being no issues being identified when we put forward the proposed site for the new fibre cabinet. Unfortunately, when we tried to undertake this work previously, there was an objection from at least one resident, although the regulations have since changed so this should not be a problem now.
I hope this helps. You should see the status change on the Openreach site as work progresses – https://www.homeandbusiness.openreach.co.uk/fibre-broadband/when-can-i-get-fibre.
When it comes to telling porkies I am no longer sure which is worse, Bexley Council or BT but if our Council has been obstructing the installation of fibre broadband it is utterly disgusting and some heads should roll.
Maybe now, residents stuck in the stone age will at last be able to stream a few videos if they fancy the idea. I wish them better luck with their fibre installs than my sister.
Hers was installed on 4th August and struggled to get 20 Mb/sec. She had been promised something approaching 80 and her next door neighbour gets 70. The ISP twice sent printouts from BT's line checker which said there was a fault in BT's copper wire that runs to the street cabinet.
BT said it was a fault on her internal wiring and twice sent out a man who said he could find no fault at all. Three times I drove to Hampshire to change things around to the extent that my sister now has no internal wiring. Temporarily everything runs off BT's master socket. And still BT said there is no fault - until yesterday that is when she somehow picked up a service agent who spoke English.
He tested the line, said there was a serious fault (her line buzzes and cuts off) and he promised to have it fixed by tomorrow. BT has been pretty crap since I retired after a half a lifetime working inside telephone exchanges.

ABOUT half a century ago, when I first heard the whole story about the facts of life, I remember having a good cry; not because I was shocked by the physical details, but because I suddenly realised, with the force of a revelation, that my feelings were not the airy, abstract forces they had seemed to be while I was a child, but also things of the earth, tied to the daily surge of blood and hormones.
For some reason, this thought confused me; I felt the world was more complex than I had realised, its distinctions between the things of the mind and the things of the body less clear-cut.
At least I was living through this moment, though, in a context – at home, with my mother – where I had time and space to think about it all; and I thought again about that experience, as I read this week's report from the Scottish Parliament's health and sport committee about Scotland's high rate of teenage pregnancy, and the need for better and earlier sex education, if we are to reduce it.
In a sense, of course, teenage pregnancy is not really the most worrying indicator of sexual dysfunction in our society; babies are lovely in themselves, and at least some teenage mums find that they give their lives a whole new sense of purpose.
We do, though, continue to suffer from high levels of domestic violence, and from a growing online pornography culture which actively encourages young men to adopt dehumanising and brutal attitudes to women; for weeks now, our newspapers have been full of the story of the Glasgow club that, unbelievably, thought it would be "just a bit of fun" to install a one-way mirror in its ladies' toilet, so that groups of men who had booked the room on the other side of the glass could leer unseen at women putting on their make-up and adjusting their clothes, as if they had no right to privacy or dignity at all.
Facebook and other social networking sites have only recently started to take down pages that actively incite violence against women, pages with names like "Raping Your Friend Just For A Laugh"; and then there is the increasing focus of sexual imagery and porn sites away from mature female bodies, towards the now widespread assumption that a high proportion of men, given half a chance, will prefer women who look like under-age girls, or will take the opportunity to view some child porn.
All of which suggests that some change in the way we educate people about sex is indeed urgently required; there is nothing more tragic than the idea that this joyless trade in ever more sensational, exploitative and dehumanising sexual imagery has anything to do with real arousal, real pleasure, real sexual happiness. And in their observations on teenage pregnancy, the Scottish Parliament committee is certainly right to argue that girls who lack self-esteem, and a strong sense of their own value, are more likely to end up unwillingly pregnant than their more confident classmates.
It's when it comes to the proposed remedies, though, that the immensity of the problem – compared to any solutions we can offer – becomes apparent; in fact, it's difficult not to agree with some critics that sex education in British schools has so far proved so ineffective that simply doing more of it – directing it at children as young as seven, and handing out condoms to 13-year-olds, as the committee suggests – is unlikely to make much difference.
For in the first place, we are dealing with a society where, almost 50 years on from our supposed sexual revolution, a high proportion of parents still feel that they cannot really inform or talk to their own children about sex; and where, to judge by the survey on school sex education attached to the report, many schoolteachers suffer from the same problem.
Secondly, we are dealing with a society where there has been massive improvement, over the last generation, in the position of gay people, and – for example – in the ability to speak out about child sexual abuse; but where the brief and empowering sexual revolution that swept through the heterosexual world in the Sixties and Seventies has been overtaken by a tide of commercial exploitation which, despite its superficial frankness, is in fact about disconnecting people from their own sexual feelings, and replacing real sexual encounters with dependence on a commercial product which, to maintain its impact, has to move into ever more dangerous and ugly territory.
And finally, we are dealing with a society which, when it recognises a problem, often asks the education system to sort it out; while at the same time remaining so confused that it can agree neither on what line it wants the schools to take, nor on whether schools should be spending valuable classroom time on this sort of "pastoral" subject at all.
What this report says to me, in other words, is that the sexual unhappiness of some of our most vulnerable young people is simply the tip of a huge iceberg of sexual confusion and dysfunction, which breaks the surface of our society only occasionally, but which is intimately bound up with a culture where all things are commodified, where people are easily objectified, and where empathy and respect are often in short supply.
Under the circumstances, the surprising thing is not that some of our young people end up in serious trouble, but that so many of them – thanks to caring parents, brilliant teachers, and their own strength of character – manage to navigate so well through the shoals and swamps of the sexual world we have made for them.
And if we want any part of that young generation to change their ways, our first task should be to look in the mirror, and to ask ourselves what we have done, of late, to fight the sexual demons of sleaze, exploitation, bullying, and pornographic tat; and then to talk to our sons and daughters about sex, not as a dirty joke or a major embarrassment, but as an aspect of love, a source of joy, and a gift to be treasured, nurtured, made to last a lifetime.

We've been trying the potty training thing lately. We're making progress. . .
Tralee has two potties, one in each bathroom. My Nana gave her one, and Tralee picked out the other when we took her shopping for our "potty party." We got this potty chair, Elmo's Potty Time DVD, and came home and had our potty party.
My friend Audie makes forts with her girls all the time, so one day after coming home from the library, Tralee and I decided to give fort building a whirl. She loved it.
My same friend Audie also supplied me with this fun idea:
I did the kitty, Jim made the dinosaur.
If you're not a fan of pancakes shaped like dinosaurs, try making some stuffed french toast. YUMMY! I would post this delicious recipe, but I'm too tired right now. So, just google it!

Me & Lauryn Hill: An Evolution
Posted by M.Dot. at 1:54 PM
Labels: boom bap, Lauryn Hill

Lauryn has always been a great influence... At first I was in love with her voice. The first time I actually heard her sing was in the movie Sister Act 2. After that I followed her through their Blunted on Reality and the Score... I loved The Score that was one of my favorite albums of all time! Lauryn's solo album Miseducation was a total change of what I'm use to by her but it's a good change, it was so real and you're taken on the same trip throughout her album. There was rumors way back that she was going to come out with something but that was way back in probably early 2000's haha doesn't look like that's going to happen. I do wish some big even will acknowledge her someway or another or she'll be lost in music history.
- Triple B said...
I didn't love the Score, but I loved Lauryn with every fiber of my being. In middle school, I won a talent show performing "Fu-gee-la" and the boys liked me for a day. When The Miseducation came out a few years later, it was over. Between her and Erykah, I was going through my own revolution in high school in Miami and nobody couldn't tell me nothing. I didn't lock my hair or wrap my head or aspire to be an emcee or change my clothes, but their albums helped me find all the poetry I had inside of me.
I remember when both performed at a Bob Marley Festival when I was 15 and I had to walk away from my friends and just cry after Lauryn sang Zion. There was something about seeing this super intelligent, dark-skinned, beautiful young mother that reconstructed my perception of myself and made me realize maybe I was valuable after all.
We haven't had anyone quite like her since, have we?
I mean, I keep Stacy Epps and Emoni Fela in my ears - but they haven't risen to Lauryn's heights. That's okay though. Look at all the amazing talent she left in her wake. I don't wait for Lauryn anymore. If she comes around, great, but I think she's contributed more than enough.
When I think about our image and representations, I always come back to my belief that popular culture will never represent Black women in a way that I find acceptable. We are visible, but we don't own the networks that make us visible.
So I turn my eyes and ears elsewhere, seeking kindred spirits on the street, the internet, the history books, the late night spots, my family...

but their albums helped me find all the poetry I had inside of me.
Thats real spit.

Yeah. But still is some sobering shit.
Thank you for your comment. I twittered last week
that I wanted to write the Lauryn memoir, after reading Faith's and Kim Osorio's...so....this post is about me sending that out into the universe....
Yeah..Dave was like...Crazy assed Oakland girl....LOLs..
- M.Dot. said...
Otis, thank you for your comment.
Your response reminds me how much of a EMOTIONAL reaction her music elicits.
She is that deal.
- the prisoner's wife said...
interesting. i love(d) lauren & miss her. i liken her to d'angelo and the voodoo album. an amazing offering that we may never see again.
i doubt she will fade into obscurity, simply due to the impression she left on the world. it's been 10 years since "Miseducation..." and we STILL beggin for an album. she on some hip hop Sade tip.
i remember reading about all the artists she was pulling to work with her on the follow-up, but nothing seemed to come together. i wonder tho, if she continues to put it off...will people still be as excited, say in 5 years?
i hope so.
- Rafi said...
It probably didn't help with Dave that that was one of Pos' verses.
- M.Z. said...
Man I love Lauryn, but if she can't put out song strong music(in any sense) I'd rather her stay away. I wish I had gone and seen her in high school when I had the chance.
Can't believe you didn't like The Score back in the either....
- Model Minority said...
@ Rafi.
And the award for Snarkiest internet personality goes toooo....Rafester....Glad you enjoyed the piece...
Nope, I didn't like IT and I had a homie that worked at Sony so I got all their stuff for free. I sold the score on Telegraph ave in Berkeley for 5-$6.

"You see I loved hard once, but the love wasn't returned
I found out the man I'd die for, he wasn't even concerned
And time it turned,
He tried to burn me like a perm
Though my eyes saw the deception, My heart wouldn't let me learn
From um, some, dumb woman, was I,
And everytime he'd lie, he would cry and inside I'd die.
My heart must have died a thousand deaths
Compared myself to Toni Braxton thought I'd never catch my breath
Nothing left, he stole the heart beating from my chest
I tried to call the cops, that type of thief you can't arrest
Pain suppressed, will lead to cardiac arrest
Diamonds deserve diamonds, but he convinced me I was worth less
when my peoples would protest,
I told them mind their business, cause my s*** was complex
More than just the sex
I was blessed, but couldn't feel it like when I was caressed
I'd spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by God's test
I was God's best contemplating death with a Gillette
But no man is ever worth the paradise MANIFEST"
that verse made me a believer when I heard it for the first time...
I was about 14 or 15...
that shit blew my mind...I was still growing lyrically and that verse was one of those that made me wanna step my game up...HEAVY...EXTRA HEAVY
like the fact that she was a woman was irrelevant at that point...
I was like, "Lauryn...I'm a wreck you on this lyrical sh*t man..."
and I still haven't (or at least I wouldn't say so) but I've definitely grown a lot more...
Its like Crooked I said, "I came up with rappers that had already set the bar really high so all this new stuff...that's not that ill to me...cause It hasn't even reached the bar yet..."
I'm still trying to knock those guys/girls out...
- Maria Palma said...
Ah, yes, Lauryn Hill. I do miss her cool vibes and voice. She's probably the only woman in the Hip Hop community that I look up to. I have a feeling, though, that she'll be back soon.
- I am not Star Jones said...
To me, your evolution about your feelings about Lauryn's place in the world and your connection to her music is a testament to her power as an artist. She grew and so did you...I think that's what transformative art should do.
I await Lauryn and the next Lauryn as well. In the interim, I curl up with Miseducation on a weekly basis.
- Model Minority said...
like the fact that she was a woman was irrelevant at that point.
That rocks. I mean, it gets the side eye, but it rocks as well.
She grew and so did you...I think that's what transformative art should do.
Feel me. Who knew?

Meet the Maker: Emily Dawe
We've caught up with Interior Stylist, Papercrafter, and all-round crafting personality Emily Dawe, in order to find out a bit more about her practice, and more about the exciting things that are in store for her in the next year. Recently, Emily has created a gorgeous styled collection using a selection of Hobbycraft Christmas product. Click here to view The Emily Dawe Christmas Collection!
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what your work involves:
Hello, I'm Emily! I am an interior stylist, journalist, blogger, creative workshop tutor and, most recently, an author – phew! I live in Brixton, London, with my Kiwi husband Cameron, we are expecting our first baby early January 2019!
My main crafting passion is papercraft, I love how versatile this medium is – it can be ripped, quilled, folded, cut, scored, scribbled and painted on! So most of my crafts involve this wonderful (cheap and accessible) medium. I teach all sorts of creative workshops at events, and at Kirstie's Handmade Fair; from quilling to marbling, lino printing to modern calligraphy. I absolutely love to teach- it brings me so much pleasure.
And most recently, I have had my first book published, Paper Christmas, which is full of gorgeous contemporary and on-trend projects, suitable for all skill levels, including projects you can do with the kids (and includes all the right size templates!)…more about that a little later!
How did you first become involved in the arts?
I have always been a little crafter, ever since I was tiny. I loved getting creative at any opportunity, glue and glitter were a permanent fixture at our dining table! I would enter every art and colouring competition going- I even met the queen! After my Art Foundation at Kingston, I went on to study Illustration at The University of Brighton, which was the perfect course for me as it was so varied. One day we'd be life drawing, the next book binding, it made me realise the wealth of skills I had.
After leaving uni, I worked in magazines for over a decade, working on the Home and Craft pages of Woman's Weekly, Woman & Home and Style at Home. So I was lucky enough to still be using my creativity, but in a very different way! Then, just two years ago, I decided to spread my wings and take the leap into the wonderful world of freelancing. Getting back to my creative roots feels great and I wished I'd done it sooner.
How do you use your Cricut machine within your projects? Do you find yourself using the same type of material within the machine, or do you like to mix it up?
My Cricut machine is my wonderful sidekick, it saves me so much time when I am having to cut multiple leaves for a wreath, cut out the perfect circle or more intricate designs. I do find I mostly use it with paper, but I did create a Frida Khalo t-shirt design from vinyl for my blog earlier this year which was pretty cool. I am in the process of creating a selection of gorgeous little projects for my nursery, all using the Cricut, so that's very exciting – head over to www.emilydawe.com/blog to see what I create!
What was the very first project you made with your Cricut machine, and what learnings did you take from it?
I was lucky enough to have a one-on-one crafternoon with Cricut's expert Suzie Candlin, where she showed me how versatile the Cricut machine can be. We made all sorts of things that day, from some geometric art (on my blog!) some of the cool 3D projects that you can download on Cricut's Design space as well as using the stick on and iron on vinyl.
What three tips would you give to someone looking to form a consistent style for their work?
- Be true to yourself and your style. It's all too easy to fall down a rabbit hole on Pinterest and Instagram and worry that you're not creating the 'in thing'. By all means get inspired by what you see, but don't just recreate what others are already doing.
- Play around to find out what mediums and techniques you enjoy and run with them! I am loving involving gold leaf and splatter techniques into my work at the moment, so I'm going with that for a while! I want to get back into typography next.
- Enjoy what you do! There's no point doing what you do if you don't enjoy it. It seems like an obvious thing to say, but if you don't wake up in the morning full of excitement about the creative work you're going to produce, then you need to rethink what you're making. Try going on some creative workshops to learn some new skills, switch off and get mindful.
What's next for you in 2018?
Well as I previously mentioned, I have a book out this year – Paper Christmas – published by Search Press. I have already had such an amazing response to it, with many of my projects getting featured in various magazines and blogs. So I am busy promoting that by teaching workshops from the book. I am also running a modern calligraphy workshop with West Elm amongst others – look on my website and Instagram for where you'll find me teaching next!
My 'side hustle' The RE-Vision is growing day by day, too, which is super exciting! Me and my friend Becks have launched a crafty, DIY YouTube channel and blog which encourages people to get creative whatever their budget or skill. www.instagram.com/lovetherevision www.therevision.co.uk
I am also in the process of trying to clear some space for our new baby, who could make an appearance anytime!! We are moving back to Surrey to be nearer family very soon, as I intend to carry on my crafty career.
And you may even see me on TV in the run up to Christmas..!
Paper Christmas is available to buy from Search Press and Amazon, priced at £9.99. More about my book can be found on my website.

Leo Tindemans
Leo Tindemans, (Leonard Clemence Tindemans), Belgian politician (born April 16, 1922, Zwijndrecht, Belg.—died Dec. 26, 2014, Edegem, Belg.), held the office of prime minister of Belgium (1974–79) and championed political and monetary integration in Europe; the latter role earned him the nickname "Mr. Europe." At the December 1974 European Economic Community (EEC) summit, Tindemans was charged with writing a paper on the elements of a union of European countries. The Report on European Union (the Tindemans Report), was published on Dec. 29, 1975. In it he proposed, among other things, economic and monetary union, a central bank, and a common foreign policy as well as greater power both for the president of the European Commission and for the European Parliament. Tindemans began his political career in 1958 as the secretary-general of the Flemish wing of Belgium's centre-right Christian Democrat party, and in 1961 he was first elected to Belgium's House of Representatives. Having been appointed (1968) the Dutch-speaking minister for community relations, he drew up, with his French-speaking counterpart, a plan for linguistic and political decentralization within Belgium. He cofounded (1976) and became the first president of the European People's Party, an alliance of centre-right parties drawn from EEC member countries. He was elected to the European Parliament in 1979 and again in 1989 after having taken a break (1981–89) to serve as Belgium's foreign minister. In 1995 he became a cofounder of the International Crisis Group, a nongovernmental organization that focused on the prevention and resolution of armed conflict. He retired as a member of the European Parliament in 1999.

To the Lung Cancer Community,
As 2018 prepares to come to a close, let's take this moment to reflect upon what we have accomplished to improve survivorship, provide support and bring our community together in a lasting and meaningful way.
Together we secured millions more dollars in federal research funding, helped hundreds of patients navigate clinical trials and get molecular testing, launched a screening campaign to help people talk with their physicians about lung cancer screening and their risk, enhanced research in early detection, small cell lung cancer and the effects of stigma on this disease—and so much more!
On behalf of everyone at LCA, may your holidays be merry and bright and filled with much joy. We will carry this exciting momentum into 2019 knowing that we will achieve many more milestones for the lung cancer community. I look forward to seeing all that can happen when we work together!
Best wishes,

Ralph Wardlaw
The Reverend Ralph Wardlaw, D.D. (22 December 1779 – 15 December 1853) was a Scottish Presbyterian clergyman and writer.
He was born in Dalkeith, before his family moved to Glasgow when he was six months old. His father was a prosperous merchant and civic magistrate, whilst his mother was the daughter of the Rev. James Fisher and the granddaughter of Ebenezer Erskine, two of the founding ministers of the United Secession Church. At the age of eight he was enrolled at the High School of Glasgow for four years, before being accepted as a student of theology at the University of Glasgow, aged twelve.
Despite his strong familial connections to the Secession Church, shortly after his University studies were complete he turned to Independent Congregationalism, as introduced from England by James and Robert Haldane. He was ordained in 1803 by Rev. Greville Ewing, the popular minister of Lady Glenorchy's church, shortly after a chapel had been erected for him by his friends and family in Albion Street. Although his first congregation numbered only 61, his success as a preacher was sufficient that by 1811 he and Ewing founded Glasgow's first academy for congregationalist theology students.
In 1818 he moved his congregation to a new church in West George Street capable of holding more than 1,500 people, where he remained until the closure of his ministerial life.
Wardlaw strongly influenced David Livingstone, who attended his lectures in divinity, and was inspired by his campaigns against slavery to fight the African slave trade during his years as a missionary and explorer.
Wardlaw was married to his cousin, Jane Smith, for almost fifty years until his death aged 74. He is buried on the brow of the hill at the Glasgow Necropolis, overlooking Glasgow Cathedral.

Stinky flower in full bloom at SF Botanical Garden
Thursday, June 09, 2011
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department is urging people to take the time to smell the flower — the stinky flower.
The dead horse lily opened up this week and if the smell of rotting flesh is your thing, you can take it in at the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park.
The plant uses its unique stench to attract flies, which helps pollinate its flowers.
"I've never smelled rotten flesh, but I've smelled like really old meat and it's pretty terrible, so it's real close to that," Garden Director Brent Dennis said.
If that's for you, you'd better hurry. The dead horse lily blooms for only a few days.

By: Alex Phuong (Two Beers) –
Many modern audiences know this film as "the old movie featured in WALL·E (2008)." Hello, Dolly! is much more than just an old movie, though, because it remains a classic even though it was originally released in 1969. It might not be the greatest movie musical ever made, but it is still a very lighthearted film, and it is essentially a "feel-good" movie that continues to enchant audiences with its memorable songs as well as a special sense of innocence in this adaptation of the original Broadway production.
A Toast!
Since this is a musical, the songs and score are obviously amazing! The film also earned an Academy Award nomination for Irene Sharaff's colorful costumes, and even won an Oscar for its production design. The performance of the title number remains one of the greatest musical performances ever filmed, and this screen gem is all thanks to the brilliance of director Gene Kelly, who also starred in some of the best movie musicals from the Golden Age of Hollywood, including Singin' in the Rain (1952) and the Best Picture winner An American in Paris (1951).
Gene Kelly was actually (and absolutely) furious when he failed to earn a "Best Director" nomination at the Academy Awards even though Hello, Dolly! earned a "Best Picture" nomination that same year. Practically every song in this film is filled with fun, color, and extravagance, and the ones featured in WALL·E actually help enhance the plot of that equally beloved Disney/Pixar flick.
Beer Two
Even with its coveted "Best Picture" nomination, the film failed to receive nominations for acting nor writing. Barbra Streisand actually tied with Katharine Hepburn for the "Best Actress" Academy Award when Streisand starred as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl (1968), but her performance as Dolly Levi is somewhat flat and superficial. Streisand was able to give Fanny Brice a sense of emotional depth, especially since her character had to deal with a tumultuous relationship with Nick Arnstein (played by Omar Shariff). However, Streisand did not exactly do that for Dolly Levi.
The plot of Hello, Dolly! is also a bit too simple since it is basically about a bunch of romantic couples who want to get married after traveling to New York City. That lack of complexity to the story and acting is probably why Hello, Dolly! failed to earn Academy Awards nominations in these major categories as well as lost the "Best Picture" Oscar to Midnight Cowboy (1969), which remains one of the most notorious and controversial "Best Picture" winners given due to its dark subject matter.
Even with some minor flaws, Hello, Dolly! is still one of the most famous musical films ever made. It was also the most expensive musical film ever produced during its original release in 1969. The film also helped the career of Michael Crawford (who played Cornelius Hackl) who went on to star in the title role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's original Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera. Barbra Streisand herself remains a pop culture icon (as of 2018). Hello, Dolly! has also been referenced and parodied numerous times in pop culture, including an episode of Spongebob Squarepants in which Spongebob suffers from halitosis (bad breath) and says, "and hello, Dolly!" This film is not exactly the best movie musical ever made, yet many people still enjoy this musical, especially since WALL·E introduced many modern audiences to this seminal classic.
Hello, Dolly! (1969) Bonus Drinking Game
Take a Drink: for every musical number
Take a Drink: every time Horace Vandergelder expresses frustration against Dolly Levi (which is partially because Walter Matthau absolutely detested Barbra Streisand in real life)
And Cheers: during the epic performance of the title number in the Harmonia Gardens

The Berelekh site, often referred to as the "mammoth cemetery", is located on the bank of the Berelekh River in Siberia, near the mouth of the Indigirka River on the Arctic Ocean coast. Lying at 70ß north, Berelekh is one of the earliest archaeological sites yet found above the Arctic Circle.
Archaeologist Yuri Mochanov excavated the site in the early 1970's, and discovered a number of stone artifacts, including bifaces, blades and wedge-shaped cores. Several drilled stone pendants were also found, including one made of green jadeite. Many artifacts found were made from mammoth bone and tusk, including four mammoth tusk knives, a spear point and two scrapers.
Two radiocarbon dates put the occupation of this site at about 13,000 to 13,500 years BP, and Mochanov suggests that the site may represent the final stages of the Dyuktai culture of northern Siberia.

Rubin (SL name Dubble Rokocoko) and digital concept consultant Harold Whaley (SL name Hdub Shepherd) will speak at the opening ceremonies. Suku Ming, head of SLASCAR, a Second Life spin on the NASCAR racing organization, will speak as well. Attendees are invited to join the Monogram Virtua Auto Show Group for free to gain access to the show where scores of virtual and real life cars and planes will be on display to the general public. A limited number of press passes will be available.
This is Monogram Virtua's second virtual event in a series of aficionado based cyberworld shows designed to bring the members of various Second Life communities together. Rubin, an avid filmmaker and lover of art, and Whaley, an automotive and music enthusiast, came up with idea for the event series after the phenomenal success of the movie premiere of JIMMY AND JUDY, directed and produced by Rubin, drove huge levels of cyber traffic to Monogramia Prime, the company's flagship island. While in the cyberworld Whaley had organized into his group of Second Life constituents a long list of fellow automotive and avionics lovers and, though previously there were various groups and loosely connected organizations, there had not been a single over-reaching inspired event designed to bring the entire community together. The First Annual Second Life Auto Show is designed to be just that, an event to bring auto lovers from both inside and outside Second Life together from all over the world.
Monogram Virtua's chief event director Andrea McCloud (SL name Anakalia Catteneo) informed thousands of Second Life car builders, designers, owners of real life and virtual dealerships, scripters, pilots, drivers, racers, and promoters, and received enthusiastic responses from hundreds of SL members who are expected to arrive in cyberspace to interact and share their knowledge over the course of the two day event without ever having to leave the comfort of their laptops and PC's.
Future events are currently underway, and the company has already been in discussions with Ariel Zuñiga, son of the late twentieth century contemporary Mexican artist Francisco Zuñiga, to host an International Art Summit at the convention center in mid April. Monogram Virtua has already been dubbed the official cyberworld representative in Second Life and elsewhere for Zuñiga's work and has begun construction of a gallery on Monogramia Prime next to the Monogram Virtua Flagship Theater that hosted the film premiere earlier in 2008.
Invitations have gone out to Real Life keynote figures in other communities. Bruce George, co-founder of Def Poetry Jam, Lee Green, Chairman of the National Black Business Trade Association, and Arthur Mitchell, V.P. of Business Development for The Urban Network are already in talks with the company to host Second Life versions of well established Real Life trade events at the Monogram Virtua Convention Center. A nearby shopping mall is also in the works set to be ready this Spring offering turnkey solutions to Second Life newcomers interested in starting their own lucrative cyber businesses.
Key contributors to the First Annual Second Life Auto show are: Virtual Brickworks (designer/builder of the Monogram Virtua Convention Center); XenoX & Aeon Snook (owners of SnookTown; Eddie Mathieson, Attim Hokkigai, JR Robson, Ish Jaxxon, Loreli Debevec, Whispering Hush and Jen Lighfoot (owners and staff of Racers Island; and Lil Carducci (designer of the Monogram Virtua Tennis Shoe).

Intro Microsoft Pos Software
Over the last year or so, I have been visiting SamCart everywhere. Microsoft Pos Software
As an internet entrepreneur, I pay extra careful attention to the shopping carts that people are utilizing and I started noticing more individuals using SamCart.
Then I started seeing ads from SamCart, so I signed up to their email list. I received a few mails from their support being hyped up by them, therefore I decided to give it a shot.
So, did it live it up to the hype? Here is my SamCart review.
What's SamCart?
SamCart is a web-based checkout platform Includes conversion-optimized checkout templates along with one-click upsell, arrange subscription bump and payment plan capabilities that are intended to maximize profits.
How SamCart Works
Here are the steps that SamCart walks You to help you sell your merchandise online:
Insert a new product (digital or physical)
Select the payment structure you need (either a one-time payment, payment plan, or subscription)
choose the checkout page template you would like (SamCart's templates are all incredible and they've been proven to convert)
Customize the checkout pages to match your own website and manufacturer
Insert upsells, create coupons, split-tests, etc..
If you're a person that wants to set up a shopping cart SamCart is for you. You can get up and running in under thirty minutes. I put up of my stuff but that is probably because I watched a few YouTube videos about it ahead.
Click here to start your SamCart trial.
SamCart Characteristics
The reason that SamCart has managed to Grow is because they offer so many features that assist retailers make more cash. Whether youselling information products or're running an e-commerce shop, these attributes will allow you to make more money and have SamCart pay for itself fairly quickly.
Affiliate Center
Among the best things about selling goods on the internet is that you can enlist an whole army of affiliates to market your stuff. You do not need to spend time promoting your products, nor do you need to spend a dime. If you can get affiliates to spread the word, you only pay them if they produce a purchase for you. Microsoft Pos Software
SamCart allows you to make your personal army of affiliates which will sell your goods for you together with the Affiliate Center. SamCart automatically generates an Affiliate Signup page for you – .
You're going to get a link to this page, which means that you can send it out to potential affiliates, post it on your website, or send it from your own email list. I encourage them to become affiliates, whenever my subscribers go months without purchasing anything from me. Hey, if they are not purchasing something, it is still a way for me to profit from them.
Every time a possible affiliate fills your program, they'll be shown a message that their accounts is"pending approval". When that occurs, you'll find a notification which they implemented via email. It have buttons to accept or reject the individual's application. If you want, you may also set it up to automatically accept affiliates.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50 percent. However, this payout to whatever you desire can be customized by you. You can pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per purchase ) or a percentage. I've had a great deal of success by increasing the affiliate payout for affiliates that are top-performing to give them a bonus to market more.
Checkout Pages
Among the coolest things about SamCart is that they have 18 professionally designed templates that are demonstrated to convert. I really don't think all the templates will be that great, but I really do love almost all of them. My favorite is the template.
The apparent huge advantage here is that the templates are used by other recognized marketers, which means it is possible to avoid the countless hours of designing and analyzing your pages.
All of the templates have trust elements like testimonials, warranties, and safety reassurances that give your customers the peace of mind they will need to enhance your conversions.
As soon as you pick your checkout page, then it is easy to customize it by changing the colours of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You can also pick the fields that you would like to include and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your client is buying (I have discovered bullet points to be particularly helpful, which is why you see them on all my earnings pages).
All of the pages are mobile responsive, and it is super important within our ever-increasingly mobile globe. One of the reasons I changed to SamCart was because my previous page provider wasn't as responsive as I wanted it to be. Microsoft Pos Software
I do a lot of advertising on Google AdWords, where a lot of my traffic comes from cellular. I discovered that with my cart, people were left. SamCart assisted my increase my conversions.
Plusthey have a cool"sandbox" mode, which enables you make certain everything is working before going live with your goods. With my cart, then test it and I had to print everything. I hated doing this. Together with SamCart, I will test payments without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
One Click Upsells
Once I told my friends I was composing a SamCart review, they told me I should stress how amazing their one click upsells are, and I agree.
If you're selling on the internet and you are not offering upsells, you are leaving a great deal of cash on the table. In fact, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35 percent of its revenues were from its upselling efforts. If Amazon is currently earning that much money from it, do not you think it deserves your consideration?
An upsell is a strategy that helps you increase your average order value. You likely upsells all the time and do not even know it. It's there as an upsell, although you don't HAVE to get the extended warranty for your car. Restaurants certain like to offer it, although you do not HAVE to get dessert after dinner.
Continuing with the dessert example, these small $8 cakes aren't a huge sum of money, but if you are the restaurant selling dozens of them each night, the money adds up.
SamCart makes this process seamless by offering upsells where all the customer has to do is click one single button and purchase your offer. In accordance with these, SamCart users that use one click upsells typically increase their normal customer value by a whopping 68.1%. Microsoft Pos Software

One Page Checkout
This attribute is unique as it provides you the capability to include several different payment options onto one checkout page. For my 997 online course, Teachable is used by me, and they do not provide this feature. When a customer wants the payment program, I must have checkout pages. I WISH I could use SamCart because of that.
The 1 page checkout takes multiple payments to a completely new level because it keeps traffic on the page while they determine how to cover. You realize how important it is to keep your visitors on the page if you've ever sold anything online.
Cross Selling Bumps
Cross-selling is a way to market products that are associated with the one the client already owns. If a customer purchases a vehicle a cross-sell would be gasoline or auto insurance.
You might be familiar with this as bundling. When you package auxiliary products and the main product jointly, you are able to raise your profits on each sale. McDonald's does by selling fries and drinks with their 14, this extremely well.
Subscription Saver
When I started selling subscription products online, I was naive enough to think that everyone would pay on time, every time. I figured that if I had been good enough to cover my bills and honor my duties, so would everyone else.
Boy, was I naive. Turns out there are some losers online. People who decline charges or cancel credit cards just to get out of making payments. Your subscription income is gone once this happens. Barring any legal action (such as sending a demand letter… in case you have the customer's address) you can not receive your cash. Sad.
But now with SamCart, your subscriptions have been safeguarded from diminished obligations and expired credit cards. A payment fails, SamCart sends your customer an email on your behalf – the email has a link where clients can update the payment they have on file, directly from their inbox. This means you don't have to waste your valuable time hounding your clients .
If a client fails to update the payment information after several tries, SamCart automatically cancels the subscription. SamCart marks them as"delinquent" in your account so you know who they are and so you have the chance to reach out to those customers. Microsoft Pos Software
A/B Testing
Isn't it bizarre that people talk about split testing their revenue pages, their sites that are supersized, their email subject lines, and much more… but they do not ever talk about examining their checkout page?
It seems mad, right?
If you figure that most of your potential customers are abandoning your checkout site, do not you believe a half-decent split test could help you get one more customer??
I do also.
Fortunately, SamCart offers the ability to conduct live split tests. In the realm of shopping carts, this is wonderful. In case you've got a abandonment rate and your snags you simply ONE customer, you may double your earnings. Yes, DOUBLE YOUR SALES. Much like this.
SamCart enables you to change any setting you need, so it is possible to test any variant that tickles your fancy. You can change the template, try out a different guarantee (I have found that the longer, the greater ), remove some areas (I have found the less, the better), and more.
Once you have your variants created, SamCart mechanically tests between your own variations. You don't have to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" part from the product's settings to observe how the variations do. As soon as you find a winner, SamCart allows you to easily disable the loser.
The one thing you can't split-test with SamCart is your product's price. You are going to have to create two products and run a test between those two products, if you want to do so.
When it comes to A/B analyzing, experience tells me that you should test the big stuff first (like completely different templates) and then work your way down to the minute particulars. Oh, and wait till you have a statistically significant sample size before you call it a day.
Why Many Pages Suck
Based on what study you read, 80% of individuals Which"add to cart" in your website will abandon cart. If you can get a small amount of those people to convert, then you will add a substantial amount of money to your bottom line.
SamCart will assist you to boost conversions. Microsoft Pos Software
SamCart's whole value proposition is that their checkout page templates have been tested to the gills and they have been proven to convert better than their competition. If you sell things online, you ought to make sure you're maximizing your conversions, and SamCart can help you do so.
Plus, most checkout pages are not designed to maximize the amount of profit that you get from every sell. Things like order lumps and upsells help you add more profit.
For instance, I sell a $97 PDF on my website. I would not have the ability to add an upsell if I used a typical voucher form. Because I offer an upsell, roughly one out of every three individuals take my offer for $60.
Because of the one simple attribute, I'm adding an average of $20 to every single order of the product. That is like giving myself over a increase that is 20% by having that attribute. Which means that I can devote an additional $20 on advertising to acquire a customer and develop my business even quicker.
My Favorite SamCart Feature
My SamCart attribute is hands-down the Client and training service they provide. They have tons of videos in what is known as their"Knowledge Base" which teaches you how to use their software (even though it's already pretty simple ) and they provide a good deal of education on the best way to earn more money if you're selling online.
They have an entire library of product information, webinars, tutorials, and much more. The education is well worth the price. I had to add this fact in my SamCart review.
SamCart Integrations
I didn't get a chance to incorporate SamCart using a Lot of tools, just because I don't use that many. I use mainly utilize OptinMonster, Drip, PayPal and Stripe.
Interested in learning more about OptinMonster? Check out my review . I wrote an overview of that also if you're interested in knowing more about Drip.
SamCart allows you to easily sync with a lot of tools, such as email, marketing automation, registration, and payment processing. It was super easy for me to incorporate my system together with SamCart and I envision that it would be the exact same for the majority of individuals out there.
I have been studying on different forums just how easy it was for people to integrate Kajabi, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, MailChimp, Aweber, and more. But, my toolbox is fairly simple, so I can't discuss this in depth in my SamCart review. Microsoft Pos Software
How Much Does SamCart Cost?
SamCart has three different plans:
Fundamental ($19 a month)
Pro ($99 a month)
Premium ($199 per month)
Even SamCart is a complete steal with the features they provide you. I've found that the Fundamental is great enough for many internet entrepreneurs, however you wish to get the plan if you're doing a great deal of business online.
Also keep in mind that if you're looking to save some cash, they offer you a discount if you pay yearly. I recommend that you make the most of their free trial (to make sure that it's definitely suitable for you) then paying annually to conserve money. If you pay annually, the Pro program is $888 per year (which saves you $300) and the Premium plan is $1,788 per year (which saves you $600).
SamCart Offers a 14-Day Free Trial (and Money-Back Gurantee)
If you are on the fence about attempting SamCart, they Offer a free 14-day trial.
This usually means that you can try them out absolutely free, and if they don't make you more cash than your previous shopping cart (or you just hate it for some reason) then it's possible to fire them. You can cancel and walk off.
Plusthey have a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee anyway, further lowering the risk.
According to SamCart, the average SamCart seller constitutes to 5X more than the ordinary seller on other platforms. What do you need to lose? Get started now. Microsoft Pos Software

It's not often that I get to write a combined post about both firearms and EMS. This one is actually a little bit about crime, a little bit about firearms, and a lot about EMS. Or, to be more accurate, the lack of EMS.
Man shot 16 times with automatic rifle during ambush in Cleveland, EMS refuses to respond, officials say
That's a pretty convoluted headline. At first glance, I thought maybe it was a case where the paramedics refused to go to the scene because of danger. That wasn't the case at all, but the real story is actually even worse.
First the hysteria in the lede,
CLEVELAND, Ohio — A gunman with an automatic rifle ambushed a 22-year-old man Sunday and shot him 16 times outside his Collinwood home, and Cleveland EMS refused to pick him up because he drove across the street into Euclid, according to police.
Actually a gunman (how do we know it wasn't a gunlady?) with a SEMI automatic rifle shot the poor Yute 16 times. A fully automatic rifle technically be a machine gun, although the term "assault rifle" is even more scary and sexy.
Also, this run on sentence makes it seem that EMS responded, hit the Euclid city limit, and said "No, we can't cross into Euclid." Such was not the case, as the screw up, if indeed it was such, happened in dispatch. Or as I used to call it, "The Puzzle Palace".
The victim suffered gunshot wounds in his the right side of his chest, his shoulder blade, his right knee, his right shoulder, his right hand, his left
knee and his left foot.
He drove his SUV east and crossed into Euclid, according to police reports. A Euclid police officer found him with gunshot wounds.
So, the victim drove east into the City of Euclid where a police officer found him. You'd think that the police officer from the City of Euclid would call his dispatcher ans day, "Hey, I got a guy here with a bunch of bullet holes in him, please send an ambulance." Or something like that. You'd think that, but you'd be wrong.
Cleveland EMS refused to pick the man up because he left the Cleveland city limits, according to police reports. Euclid's ambulance was in South Euclid
on a call. The Euclid police officer loaded the man into the back of a Cleveland officer's cruiser.
Now, the story is a bit less clear. Euclid's ambulance was on a call, so they weren't available. Did the dispatcher in Euclid call Cleveland and say, "Hey, this guy was shot in your city, please come and get him?" Did the dispatcher in Cleveland say, "Nope, not going to drive over the line into Euclid.", and maybe suggest that the victim get back in his SUV and drive back?
I doubt that. I rather think that this story, gives us a better idea of what might have happened.
Cleveland police advised Euclid officers the man was a victim from a shooting they were investigating. Despite being in need of first aid, Cleveland EMS would not transport him to the hospital, according to the police report.
So, Cleveland police ended up in Euclid and interacted with Euclid offices. My guess, and keep in mind I'm basing this on news from the Fake Stream Media, is that the Cleveland officers wanted the patient transported to a hospital in Cleveland (which might have been a good idea), and called their dispatcher who talked to EMS dispatch and said something like, "Hey, we got a guy that got shot in Cleveland and drove himself into Euclid, can you send an ambulance to pick him up?"
At which point the dispatcher would be inclined to say, "Uh, doesn't Euclid have any ambulances available?"
I can see how this sort of thing would happen, although obviously the reporter doesn't know much about EMS, so he just put together some factoids and wrote a story.
If I were charged with investigating this case, here is what I would want to do.
Interview the police officer(s) on scene.
Talk to the police dispatcher who handled the call.
Talk to the EMS dispatcher who took the call.
Listen to the police radio traffic from Euclid, the police radio traffic from Cleveland, and if there was any, the recording of the phone call from the Cleveland PD to Cleveland EMS dispatch. It's also possible that the request for an ambulance came via the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system if they share the same system. There's a good chance that listening to all of the voice traffic and a review of CAD records will give the investigator a good of idea of what transpired.
My guess, and it's really only that, is that there was miscommunication, not any negligence. The Cleveland police officer might have thought it made sense to bring the victim back to Cleveland and called for an ambulance. The police dispatcher thought that it made sense to send a Cleveland EMS unit into Euclid. The EMS dispatcher thought that Euclid would handle the call. And so on.
I would think that the Euclid officer initially called his dispatcher and asked for an ambulance, but maybe not. Maybe the Cleveland officer told the Euclid officer that he'd get the ambulance.
These are a few of the possibilities of what might have happened in this case.
It also won't surprise me if someone, most likely someone from Cleveland EMS becomes the scapegoat for all of this. After all, when public agency management fails to have clear cut policies someone has to be blamed. Unsurprisingly, that someone is often a lower level employee.
