From the beginning, academics was the focus of Charlotte Latin, but an early goal was to also have a healthy, well-rounded student body.
As a cost-conscious school, our founders limited the initial athletics program to what they could afford: basketball, cross-country, swimming, tennis, golf, soccer, track, and cheerleading.
Without facilities when we started, Latin's track team practiced on Saturday mornings at East Mecklenburg High School, soccer and basketball games were all away games, and cross-country ran at the newly-constructed Raintree golf course.
Despite these challenges, the 1975 track team had many successes. One of Latin's early superstars, Jon Michael, ran a 4:11:7 mile – that still stands as our school record.
Through an unwavering commitment to our mission and the understanding of the important role athletics plays in teaching students, the current Latin Athletics program consists of 69 teams who train and compete in facilities that include gyms, tracks, stadiums, weight rooms, pools, and more. Our 128 acre campus includes such specialty areas as a wooded cross-country course, SwimMAC Carolina and a state-of-the-art conditioning facility.

In 2010, she was celebrated in the Charlotte Business Journal's "40 under 40" for her work in the Charlotte community. Elizabeth splits her time between Bemmel, the Netherlands, and Charlotte, N.C.
Jimmy Broadway, former CLS Athletic Director
James Wesley Broadway, a Raleigh native, graduated from Wake Forest University in 1969 with a BA in Physical Education. At Wake Forest, Jimmy played four years of ACC basketball and coached a freshman team. From 1970-1985, Jimmy taught middle school math and served as head coach of boys' varsity basketball, Physical Education Director, and Physical Plant Director at Charlotte Country Day School.

Jimmy became Athletic Director in 1993 and coached middle school basketball, Varsity softball, JV football, and Varsity girls' basketball. Jimmy's middle school basketball team held a streak of 69 winning games. During Jimmy's 19-year tenure as AD, Latin won 10 Wells Fargo (Wachovia) Cups, was runner-up three times, and won 65 State Championships. "I hired people smarter than me. I hired good, caring coaches. I got out of their way and let them coach. I only stepped in when needed, which was not often!" Jimmy says of this success.
Jimmy served as Vice President of the NCISAA and President of the CISAA. He was awarded the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award by the NC Athletic Directors Association in 2010 and was inducted into the NCISAA Hall of Fame in 2013.

Bob Patten, former Coach
In 1974, Coach Bob Patten left an established football program at South Mecklenburg High School for Charlotte Latin, which had neither a team nor a playable field. He enlisted students in physical education classes to clear rocks from the field to create an acceptable field. After teaching history during the day, Coach Patten was a one-man staff, serving as equipment manager, athletic trainer, and the sole football coach. He eventually recruited one volunteer assistant.
Only three years later, in the fall of 1977, Latin won its first state championship in football. The following year, Latin repeated as state champion, and also recorded the first win against Charlotte Country Day School. Coach Patten was known for involving all members of the Latin community, including members of Latin's special education class. He demanded as much of his players in the classroom as on the athletic field, setting the model for the academic/athletic balance that is so valued at Latin.
Although he retired from coaching in 1983, Coach Patten continued to serve Latin as Upper School Dean of Students and Upper School history teacher until his death in July 1990. On November 3, 1989, Latin's football field was named and dedicated the "Patten Stadium in honor of Robert Alvin Patten, Jr."
Coach Patten and his late wife, Mary Sue, are the parents of Bob Patten, Beth Patten Griffin, and John Patten '83.
William Howard Pitt, Jr., founding Board of Trustees
Mr. William Howard Pitt Jr. is a member of Charlotte Latin's Founding Board of Trustees and was instrumental in all aspects of the establishment of the School's athletic programs. He made significant contributions to the development of the campus, particularly the track/stadium field where he ensured the irrigation would be set up properly by placing the water lines under the track. He is credited with hiring Coach Bob Patten and establishing the Hawks football program. Founding Board Chair Frank Thies once said that Mr. Pitt "kept things straight in meetings" and was a strong leader in the early days of the School.
An athlete himself – he was captain of the Duke University football team – his passion for the athletic programs stands out among the early leaders of the School.
Mr. Pitt lives in Charlotte. He and his late wife, Anna, are the parents of Susan Pitt Herring, Mariah Pitt Waltemyer '77, Mary Howard Pitt Lassiter '79, and Bill Pitt '86.
Dave Thompson, former Athletic Director
David (Dave) A. Thompson served as Charlotte Latin's first athletic director from the founding of the school in 1970 until 1985. During those early years in the School's history, he led the development of both the athletic department and Latin's physical education program. He also served as the Hawks Varsity Boys' Basketball Team coach for 10 seasons, garnering a winning record every year.
Dave was a co-founder and the first president of the Charlotte Independent Athletic Association. He also served as president of the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association and was instrumental in building that organization. In 2010, he was inducted into the NCISAA Hall of Fame in recognition of his work organizing the association and for his service as the association's president during the formative years.
Coach Thompson died in 2012. He is survived by his wife, Rhetta, and their children, Michael Thompson '79, Rene Thompson '81, Bobby Meyer '82, Michael Meyer '83, and David Thompson.
Latin's exceptional athletes are recognized and recruited by regional and national college and universities. The College Counseling Office works cooperatively with the Athletic Director and the coaches throughout the academic year coordinating athletes' academic testing and educating them about recruiting and scholarship opportunities. A College Counselor works individually with students who sign to participate in NCAA Division I and NCAA Division III athletics.

I've spent a week and 150 miles with the B.iCycle iPhone cyclometer. B.iCycle provides speed, distance, calories burned and altitude climbed info as well as a map of your ride. All without any peripheral devices zip tied to you bicycle. This was the chief attraction for me of B.iCycle. A lot of useful info and nothing needed but your iPhone.
For best reception B.iCycle recommends mounting your iPhone to the handlebar. I've just stuck the phone in my rear jersey pocket and that seems to provide good results. Of course I'm not getting the use of the speedometer or map while I ride with the phone in my back pocket but that's OK with me.
To configure the app you just enter your bike weight and your weight so that calories burned can be accurately calculated. You can also choose US or metric units.

To start just select the B.iCycle icon and press start. Once you press stop to stop your trip you will be asked if you want to name your track and if you want it emailed to you.
You receive a text summary of all your track info and a .kml and .gpx file that you can view in google earth.
Pretty slick and really simple.
There is no communication with any peripheral device like heart rate monitors or cadence sensors so if that's a requirement this is not your app. But if you want gps mapping, a speedometer, trip meter and a log of your miles ridden, feet climbed and calories burned this is an inexpensive ($9.99) and elegant solution.

JUDAS, by Amos Oz. Translated by Nicholas de Lange. (Mariner/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $14.99.) It's 1959 in Jerusalem and Shmuel has dropped out of graduate school. He takes a job as a companion to an irascible old man, who lives with his daughter-in-law, Atalia; as Shmuel grows closer to them, he learns Atalia is the daughter of a Zionist leader who was later reviled as a traitor. Their story is one of heroism, betrayal and love.
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Siberian Exile Under the Tsars, by Daniel Beer. (Vintage, $16.95.) Borrowing his title from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's account of incarceration, Beer chronicles 100 years of life in Russia's vast, brutal penal system in Siberia, where more than a million people were exiled. Beer examines how the system transformed the region, and how its violent legacy affects Russians today.
STONE COFFIN, by Kjell Ericksson. Translated by Ebba Segerberg. (Minotaur/St. Martin's, $16.99.) After a mother and her young daughter are mowed down in Sweden's backcountry, her final words — "Why are you killing us?" — loom over this installment of the Ann Lindell detective series. As our reviewer, Marilyn Stasio, put it, "Scandinavian authors are famously unsentimental, but Kjell Eriksson could move a man-eating shark to tears."
GENGHIS KHAN AND THE QUEST FOR GOD: How the World's Greatest Conqueror Gave Us Religious Freedom, by Jack Weatherford. (Penguin, $18.) After consolidating two civilizations — and subjects from several faiths — under his rule, Khan realized religious tolerance was crucial to keeping his empire intact. Our reviewer, Simon Winchester, praised the book's central claim: "The Great Khan's ecumenism has as its legacy the very same rigid separation of church and state that underpins no less than the American idea itself."
THE MAN WHO SHOT OUT MY EYE IS DEAD: Stories, by Chanelle Benz. (Ecco/HarperCollins, $14.99.) This debut collection features tales that leap across time, class and place, from a 16th-century English monastery to the antebellum South to present-day, inner-city Philadelphia. In the opening story, "West of the Known," the teenage narrator is rescued by her brother in the Wild West, then becomes a bank robber.
NOTHING EVER DIES: Vietnam and the Memory of War, by Viet Thanh Nguyen. (Harvard, $17.95.) "All wars are fought twice, the first time on the battlefield, the second time in memory," Nguyen notes in this study of the war and its reverberations in American and Vietnamese imaginations. Nguyen previously explored the conflict and its moral consequences in his Pulitzer Prize-winning debut novel "The Sympathizer."

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
About the type of tax reform: "We do have to have some sense of what's working and why in other parts of the world but we're going to need to design a uniquely American tax system for us."
About the challenges: "...Our US-based companies that earn revenue overseas actually are penalized if they bring it back to invest here, compared to their counterparts and competitors."
About tax reform in other countries: "They're doing it, they're reforming their codes, they're simplifying, they're lowering rates because they know that if they can attract those high paying jobs, their economies will do better, the government revenues will go up and they're going to be able to meet the needs of their citizens."
About his goals: "I think you need to do it (comprehensive tax reform) in one fell swoop but, as I said earlier, I think we need to take a step on extending, because we're in this very unique situation of everything expiring, I think we need to deal with that but then move in one fell swoop to kind of bring in some more fundamental reform."
On switching the U.S. to a territorial tax system: "The only way to get to a territorial system is to have credible, workable base erosion rules."
These quotations are from the exclusive Ernst & Young interview with Dave Camp (http://www.ey.com/Publication/vwLUAssets/Ways_and_Means_Chair_Dave_Camp_talks_tax_reform/$FILE/Dave_Camp_interview_with_EY.pdf ).

Introduction Premium WordPress Themes Blue
When On the lookout for a plugin or theme, WordPress users are spoilt for choice. Together with the official repository, devoted marketplaces and assorted WordPress stores, there are thousands of choices — so many, in reality, it could easily become difficult to make a determination. Premium WordPress Themes Blue
Making So isn't something to be taken lightly — the right choice is critical to the achievement, though of your site. After all, your website's theme will determine the design displayed to your customers, and your plugins will add the majority of its functionalities.
To help You make an informed decision, I will take an comprehensive look at one of the top places to purchase WordPress plugins and themes: MyThemeShop. In addition to analyzing MyThemeShop in general, I'll also be looking at its most important attributes, reviewing some of its best products and sharing hints to prospective buyers.
Click Here to register up to MyThemeShop Now!
Let's get started!
What Is MyThemeShop?
Using a Title like MyThemeShop, you'd think the answer will be clear cut. In fact, MyThemeShop occupies a middle ground somewhere between a WordPress theme store and a WordPress'club'. However, because of its pricing policy, it probably leans more towards being a club.
This is Because although all its goods (MyThemeShop develops themes and plugins) are readily available to buy individually, it also includes a membership option that gives users complete access to its whole product range.
Think It or not, MyThemeShop is one of the largest WordPress clubs around, boasting a catalogue of 20 plugins and 99 topics and a whopping clients. Premium WordPress Themes Blue
MyThemeShop Support
As we've Touched in this post, MyThemeShop provides 24/7 service for all its clients, quality. It takes place in its support forum, in public, and so that other users can learn from problems that are common.
There's a Dedicated department for plugins and topics, also parting between free and premium products. Post your issue about the forum and among those MyThemeShop-employed support team will respond to your query immediately — typically in no more than the hour.
Rather Than only concentrating on paid associates, MyThemeShop delivers excellent support to users that are free as well, considering that the support someone receives for a product shouldn't rely on whether they paid or not.
The forum Additionally supports a search feature, which means you can look for solutions to a problem — usually the fastest way to discover answers. Inquiries that were resolved are indicated with a stamp that was green solved.
On top of The support forum, MyThemeShop has included a collection of 45 video tutorials teaching the fundamentals of WordPress, the way to use the MyThemeShop products, and even how to use some popular non-MyThemeShop plugins. These videos are available via the Tutorial tab.
And, if You're still unable to fix your issue after submitting to this support forum, MyThemeShop also provides email support. Should you require tweaks to your theme, specific customisations, website setup, or site migrations, the MyThemeShop support team can help you out (although these solutions are, as you'd expect, paid).
MyThemeShop WordPress Themes
Now, on To the important stuff: its products' high quality and selection. We'll begin by studying MyThemeShop's core product range: WordPress themes.
The MyThemeShop collection is composed of 99 topics so far — 16 ones that are free, and 83 premium themes. Premium WordPress Themes Blue
MyThemeShop Themes were created with usability in mind, and each theme ships with a market-leading motif options panel from which you are able to command the theme's settings, import dummy content (to have your site looking like the demonstration you saw when you bought the motif ), or dip right into its many customisation choices.
It's Worth taking a moment to go over the scope of these customisation options, making the themes very versatile.
To get a Start, each motif has the entire catalogue of Google net fonts — more than 600 and support for infinite colours. Perhaps more importantly, all topics offer you unlimited background options: including a variety of built-in desktop patterns, the aforementioned unlimited colours, and the option to upload a custom background picture.
The Themes are pretty. There is built in ad management, buttons that were lightweight and fashionable, and contact form functionality included with each theme. All topics come with support for the whole selection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, letting you incorporate eye-catching design elements to your site with ease.
Most Importantly, though, is that this is a clean, lightweight, and robust code underneath all. What is more, to ensure your site is as visitor-friendly as possible, all themes boast a fully mobile responsive design, lightning-quick load times, and cross-browser compatibility.
Another Bonus: each theme comes with a narrated movie tutorial, also MyThemeShop offers round-the-clock support to help you out of any tight spots you might encounter (more about this later).
The Topics are divided across four categories:
- Magazine themes (39 available)
- Blog themes (41 available)
- WooCommerce themes (17 available)
- Business themes (9 available)
Searching To get a theme is simple, and that the MyThemeShop website has plenty of features that will help you out. For a start, you can search for themes in each of the four classes we have just recorded, and there is a separate class for free and assorted themes. Or, if you would like, you can start by searching for a keyword using the search function. Premium WordPress Themes Blue
All Themes include a trailer that will assist you get an concept of the design. These previews arrive in rows of three by default, butif you would like a slightly bigger preview, you can select rows of two. There is also a simple filter that allows you form the themes by launch date or recognition.
Maybe Most helpful of all is that MyThemeShop lets you select which features you want in your subject. Features are chosen from a drop-down list, and any theme that fails to meet your standards is dropped out of the search page. There are nine options (and you can select more than one):
- Two column
- Three pillar
- AdSense optimised
- Full width
- Fixed header
- Reactive
- Slider
- Translation ready
When You have discovered a theme you like the appearance of, you could click through to the theme's product page. Here, you'll have the ability to read more about the theme's main attributes, and you will find an notion of the theme's popularity — each theme involves a community rating out of five.
As you'd Expect from one of the top theme sellers every theme comes with its own demo.
Before You buy a theme, I suggest spending a few minutes. You'll be able to sample the motif's designs, try out the different customisation options, and get an overall idea of the way the motif looks and plays.

Most Popular MyThemeShop Topics
To give You a flavor of the characteristic of these themes, let us take a moment it has to offer. No sales amounts are made available, so we're trusting the'popularity' search function . (Note: Just click a screenshot to be taken straight to the theme's demonstration page.)
From Social networking to the search engines, Schema is a site tailored to dominating the SERPs — attained by a carefully designed, SEO-optimized design. The subject is lightning quick, with website speed an important factor. The website uses a stylish-yet-simple design, also it comes packaged with review functionality and ad management. For an SEO-focused theme named Schema, the motif, of course, adds the essential Schema markup that powers Google wealthy snippets.
Social Traffic is always growing, and websites have popped up consuming off societal traffic. If you're searching to build a viral social site, SociallyViral was built for you — that the motif boasts a variety of characteristics to skyrocket social shares and also cater to viral traffic. That means a website with lots of societal buttons, trending article widgets, and, with one eye on monetization, advanced AdSense optimization.
Greatest is a magazine theme that is gorgeous, simple, and clean WordPress. While Many magazine topics end up looking too cluttered, Best remains organized throughout — it is clearly defined segments make your website simple for people to browse. As you'd expect from a magazine theme, there is also plenty of dedicated widgets; vivid, vibrant social sharing buttons; and built-in inspection performance. Premium WordPress Themes Blue
OnePage supports a stunning slider over The fold, catching traffic' attentions. It is largely a business theme, encouraging dedicated team, portfolio, customer, reviews, and pricing sections — all of which seem extremely professional and extend stylish parallax effects. The motif also looks great when kitted out from its alternative blogging skin.
PointPro is just another stylish, professional theme Time in three variations — blog, business, and shop. The company template is particularly eye-catching, using a clean, organized layout complementing lots of pictures — there is a picture slider, thumbnails, and gallery functionality, too. The motif gives you loads of flexibility, with backgrounds that are unlimited colors, and custom sidebars.
MyThemeShop Plugins
As well As themes, MyThemeShop also has 20 WordPress plugins, such as 12 premium (at $29 each) and eight complimentary.
All these Plugins allow you to add very specific functionality to your website, such as notification bars, time-to-read quotes and coming soon pages.
You can Search for plugins in the exact same manner as themes because plugins vary in regard to their capabilities, the plugin product pages are the main areas.
Each Plugin page has a very long list of the plugin's features, giving you a clear indication of what it can (or can not ) do. You will also see an individual evaluation there's a useful presentation for every plugin so that you can see every one in action.
Most Popular MyThemeShop Plugins
Since There are plugins compared to themes, let's run down the best three MyThemeShop WordPress plugins. I will also provide a brief overview of what each plugin can perform.
WP Mega Menus adds amazing menus to your website. The menus come allow you to add images, and loaded with choices. These menus are a notable and magnificent design feature for your site, and they make it more simple to navigate.

MyThemeShop Cost
With this Many competitors, how can MyThemeShop's theme and plug costs pile up? Let us look at the item prices.
MyThemeShop Functions a pricing structure that is flat — any theme will put you back a 59, with plugins coming at $29 each. This is a typical price for plugins and themes, and on a level with major marketplaces such as ThemeForest and CodeCanyon.
If you Want access an elongated membership account prices $167 a year. For that price, you'll receive access to 20 plugins and all 99 themes, as well as customer support and access to Photoshop PSDs.
Membership Is more expensive than that of a number of the additional theme clubs, such as ElegantThemes (from $59 annually ), TeslaThemes (from $59 a year), also ThemeIsle (from $99 a year), but more reasonably priced than the likes of WooThemes (from $399 a year — upgrade — 16th July: WooThemes.com is now under the umbrella of WooCommerce.com, with their themes offered at https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/), WPMU Dev (from $294 a year), also StudioPress (from $499 a year).
Something Working in its own favour, though, is the fact that membership licences allow the goods to be used in millions of sites — which makes them perfect for agencies and freelancers. And, by purchasing the licence, as mentioned you receive ongoing support — support that even extends to your customer sites. (Note: We'll get into this later on in the article.)
What's More, an extended membership will also give you access to any products published by MyThemeShop for the duration of your subscription.
MyThemeShop Does a good job of releasing new products every couple of weeks — in 2015 with more than 30 releases.

As part of my spending money series, I have broken down what the food, drink and attraction prices in Warsaw are and how much a three-day weekend in the Polish capital costs. Budgeting is one of the most important parts of holiday planning, but it can be hard to gauge how much spending money you'll need simply by reading the average cost of local items. Therefore, I have detailed exactly how much money we spent and what we spent it on during our three days…Continue Reading "The total cost of a long weekend in Warsaw"
Warsaw: A weekend guideCategories Europe, Poland, Travel, Warsaw
Having been completely destroyed during World War II following a tragic timeline of events – German subjugation, a failed rebellion and the Red Army's betrayal – Warsaw has since proved its admirable resilience. A complete rebuild of the Old Town means an exact replica of the original now stands proudly while the Uprising Museum tells the heroic yet heartbreaking story of the 1944 rebellion and its catastrophic aftermath. Remnants of the city's Soviet past remain – Stalin's Palace of Culture and Science one glaring example…Continue Reading "Warsaw: A weekend guide"

The internationally patented DIOPTEX diagnostic cornea insert ISD can be considered a breakthrough in the (diagnostic) monitoring of body functions.
ISD is a corneal insert (MyoRing) which is equipped with sophisticated nano-electronics. It can permanently measure, store and transmit important diagnostic and physiologic values such as intra-ocular pressure, plus rate, glucose concentration, etc. A particular focus is on the permanent monitoring of eye-pressure (intra-ocular pressure). The readout of the information from the inlay will be provided via a high-end non-contact transmitter-receiver system connected to a smart phone app for monitoring and analyzing the intra-ocular pressure (IOP) also at distance by the doctor.
The elevated intra-ocular pressure (IOP) is the major risk factor for glaucoma and the main cause for glaucoma related blindness. Glaucoma is a relatively common eye disease. Worldwide some 70 million people (140 million eyes) suffer from glaucoma which is the second common cause of blindness in both, industrial countries and developing countries. The rate of unreported cases is high and the compliance of glaucoma patients is low. Monitoring of the IOP by means of DIOPTEX ISD can therefore achieve prevention of blindness via early detection of IOP increase in eyes at risk, optimized eye-drop therapy for target IOP adjustment and postoperative control of surgical success, respectively. In particular it allows reduction of compliance related treatment failures via monitoring of the IOP at distance without the need of frequent medical appointments.
The video shows how easy the ISD inlay can be inserted into the cornea (ISD is a MyoRing equipped with nano-electronics).
DIOPTEX ISD is almost as easy to handle as an ordinary contact lens. Unlike a contact lens ISD is, however, not worn on the top of the cornea but permanently, yet easily reversible, 0.3 mm under the corneal surface inside the cornea.
Insertion, exchange or removal of ISD is pain free, easy to perform and takes less than one minute. The safety of the procedure is highly proven in thousands of implantations of that inlay (MyoRing). As MyoRing, ISD does neither affect corneal biomechanics nor corneal stability. Depending on the geometry and dimension of the ISD insert it can also be used to correct myopia (shortsightedness) in a minimally invasive way. See MyoRing.

Born: 1870. Died: 1937.
Born on May 4, 1870 this son of a Russian nobleman was to have a profound effect on the future of Russia and, indeed, the world. His father had been the son of a serf who had risen to post of inspector of schools in Simbirsk. While his mother was the daughter of land owning physician.
In school he proved himself to be very bright though he suffered alienation because of it. However, he excelled in his studies. He also enjoyed reading and writings of Goethe and Turgenev would affect him for the rest of his life.
Two major tragedies occurred which had an acute effect on the young Lenin (then Ulyanov). In 1886 his father died from a cerebral haemorrhage, the following year his brother, Alexander, was hung for plotting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III. Lenin renounced religion and the political system. Added to this he was the brother of dead revolutionary and found many doors closed to him. He finally managed to be accepted in a Kazan University where he studied law. This was to be shortlived as he was expelled for attending a peaceful protest some three months later. He was ostracised from the academic world. He studied the law on his own and passed the exam, coming first in a class of 124 in 1891.
He moved to St. Petersburg in 1893 where he practised law. While there he began developing a Marxist underground movement. He grouped members into six member cells. By this means industrial conditions were investigated, statistics compiled and pamphlets written. It was also through these groups that he met his future wife, Nadezhda Krupskaya, who he married in 1898.
He travelled to Switzerland to meet like minded Social Democrats in 1895. While there he talked with Georgi Plekhanov. They argued over the means of bringing about change in Russia. Plekhanov wanted to include the liberal middle class; Lenin favoured the rise of the proletariat. This disagreement led to the eventual split of the Social Democratic party into Mensheviks and Bolsheviks.
When Lenin returned to Russia he carried with him illegal pamphlets, he wanted to start up a revolutionary paper. On the eve of its publication he and other leaders were arrested. He served fifteen months in prison. After this term he was exiled to Siberia and it was there that he and Krupskaya were married. Having finished their period of exile in 1900 they left for Switzerland where they finally managed to establish their paper, Iskra (Spark). During his years in Switzerland he rose to a position of power in the Social Democratic party. His uncompromising views were a core cause for the split in the party.
The 1905 St. Petersburg Massacre spurred Lenin to advocate violent action. The Massacre itself occurred when Cossacks fired on peaceful protesters led by Father Georgi Gapon. This event led to several uprisings in Russia. Lenin returned to Russia for two years but the promised revolution did not happen as the Tsar made enough concessions to mollify the people. Lenin went abroad again.
1917 was to finally see the revolution in Russia. In fact two revolutions occurred in this year. In March steelworkers in St. Petersburg went on strike. It grew until thousands of people lined the streets. The Tsars power collapsed and the Duma, led by Alexander Kerensky, took power. Lenin made a deal with the Germans; if they could get him safely back to Russia, he would take power and pull Russia out of the war. Kerensky was to fall over this same issue. He refused to take Russia out a war in which they were suffering severe losses and causing brutal hardship at home. Lenin came to power in October after a nearly bloodless coup.
At age forty seven Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was named president of the Society of Peoples Commissars (Communist Party). The problems of the new government were enormous. The war with Germany was ended immediately (his battle cry had been Bread not War). Though Russia lost the bread basket of the Ukraine to Germany this was soon regained when Germany was ultimately defeated in the war. Land was redistributed, some as collective farms. Factories, mines, banks and utilities were all taken over by the state. The Russian Orthodox Church was disestablished.
There was opposition and this led to a civil war in 1918 between the Mensheviks (Whites) and the Bolsheviks (Reds). Despite being supported by Britain and the U.S.A. the whites were defeated after a bitter struggle.
From 1919 to 1921 famine and typhus ravaged Russia and left over 27 million people dead. To counter these disasters Lenin put into effect the New Economic Plan. This plan embraced some capital ideas (limited private industry) in order to revitalise the flagging economy. However he was never to see the full effect of his measures
In May 1922 Lenin suffered the first of a series of strokes, less than a year later he suffered a second one. In his two remaining years he tried correct some of the excesses of the regime. He saw that it would be necessary to learn coexistence with capitalist countries and eliminate the inefficiency of his bureaucracy. He also tried to ensure that Trotsky and not Stalin succeeded him. In this endeavour he failed.
1923 saw him decline further as he had another stroke which left him paralysed and speechless. He never fully recovered and died of a cerebral haemorrhage on January 21, 1924.

The Saucier's Apprentice
One Long Strange Trip Through the Great Cooking Schools of EuropeBook - 2008 | 1st ed.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The best way to describe this book is that it's an "Eat, Pray , Love" but centered around cooking.
In a similar fashion to "Eat Pray Love", the author at the beginnings of a divorce who decides to embark upon a trip to Italy and France and attend cooking classes as a means of finding himself.
Positives about the book:
-interesting locations
-cornucopia of different people
-some of the food sounds amazing
-the book includes a few recipes
-author often feels down in the dumps, sorry for himself, restless and moody, which come across in the book
interesting book - the author travels through France and Italy in an attempt to learn how to cook better. He comes across as alternately insecure and holier-than-thou. Interesting read.

How to Build an Ant Farm
If you've ever examined an anthill and wondered what's beneath the surface, creating your own ant farm will be a fascinating learning experience. Introducing an ant colony to your own farm will give you a first-rate view of ants building intricate tunnels and paths, then scurrying through like they're on a mission. See Step 1 to learn how to make an ant farm using simple materials you may already have on hand.
Part 1 of 3: Gathering Supplies and Ants
Get two glass jars with lids. You'll need a large jar and a smaller one that just fits inside. The dirt and ants will be placed in the space between the small jar and the large jar. The small jar functions as a way to take up space in the middle so that the ant colony will build tunnels and lay eggs close to the outer edge, putting these processes in plain view. Skipping this step will allow the ants to burrow deep toward the middle of the jar, which they'll naturally want to do.
- Different-sized canning jars are perfect for this project. You can make your farm as small or large as you'd like.
- Look for jars without etching, print or raised numbers and letters. Plain, clear glass will give you the best view of the ants.
- If you'd prefer to have a flat ant farm, check out your local pet store and purchase a skinny aquarium. You can also order an ant farm setup from online retailers.
Prepare a soil and sand mixture. The ants will need a loose substrate that stays moist and allows them to dig and tunnel. If you're planning to source the ants from your yard or a nearby area, your best bet is to use dirt they already naturally live in. Dig up enough dirt to fill up the extra space in your jar. Use a fork or your fingers to loosen the dirt until it's nice and fine. Now mix 2 parts dirt with 1 part sand – less if your dirt is already naturally quite sandy.
- If you aren't planning on getting your ants from a nearby location, and the dirt you have on hand doesn't seem suitable, you can buy potting soil and sand from a gardening store and mix it up to serve as your substrate.
- If you order an ant farm kit, it should come with the right mixture for those particular ants.
- You want the mix to be slightly moist, but not sopping wet. If it's too dry, the ants will dry out; if it's too wet, they'll drown.
Find an anthill. There are many species of ants, but by and large they nest in the ground.[1] Look for anthills in slightly exposed areas in your yard. You'll know it's an anthill by observing the tell-tale volcano-shaped pile of small grains of dirt, with a tiny entrance hole near the top.
- Tracking ants is another good way to find an anthill. If you see a group of ants walking, follow them back to their nest.
- Observe the anthill to make sure you aren't dealing with fire ants or another type of ant that bites. Brown field ants are a good bet. If you want to be on the safe side, order your ants online as part of an ant farm kit.
- Collect the ants. One you've identified an ant colony, bring a jar with a few holes poked in the top (not one of your ant farm jars) outside, alone with a large spoon, and scoop some ants into the jar. 20 – 25 ants should be a good amount to get your ant farm started. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- The ants probably won't reproduce unless you include a queen in your ant farm. An ant colony's queen lays all the eggs, an a group of worker ants – those you're likely to see close to the surface of an anthill – are likely to be sterile. Therefore, if you want to see ants go through the process of laying eggs, you'll need to get a queen – which can be tricky, and would require destroying the natural ant colony.
- If you're set on seeing the reproductive cycle, a better bet may be to order a kit that comes with a queen ant. That way, you won't have to worry about digging deep into the ant's nest to get what you need.
- If you create a farm without a queen, the ants will probably die within 3 – 4 weeks, which is their natural lifespan
Part 2 of 3: Assembling Your Farm
Place a cap on the smaller jar and set it inside the larger one. To keep it centered in the middle of the larger jar, you can put a dab of glue or tape on the bottom before you set it inside. Make sure you put the lid on securely, since you don't want ants accidentally falling in.
Fill the remaining space in the jar with the dirt mixture. Use a funnel to neatly fill the extra space with dirt, or spoon it in. The dirt should not be tightly packed; make sure it's nice and loose, so the ants will be able to move around. Leave about an inch of empty space at the top of the jar.
- You will now have created a layer of dirt that will serve as the ants' home.
- The inch of empty space will keep the ants from climbing up the glass and out of the jar when you need to open the lid.
Place the ants in the jar and screw on the top lid. Carefully drop the ants in the jar, making sure they all make it into the fine dirt you provided. Cover the jar and use an awl or a sharp knife to puncture it with tiny holes, to allow oxygen to reach the ants.
- Make sure not to punch the holes too large, or the ants will escape and build a nest elsewhere.
- Don't cover the jar with cloth, as ants will be able to chew their way out.
Part 3 of 3: Maintaining Your Farm
Offer them food and moisture. In order to keep your ants happy, you can feed them every few days with a few drops of honey, jam, or pieces of fruit – ants love sugar! Don't overdo it, or you'll have mold in your ant farm. Ants get most of the moisture they need from food, but if it looks like the dirt and sand mixture is getting dry, wet a cotton ball with water and place it at the top of the jar for a few days.[2]
- Don't give the ants meat or other cooked food. This will attract other types of pests to your ant farm.
- Don't pour water into the jar. It'll get too wet, and the ants could drown.
Cover the jar when you aren't watching the ants. Ants do their tunneling at night, in the dark. To replicate the environment they're used to, cover the jar with black cloth or construction paper when you're not watching the ants. If you forget to do this, the ants will be stressed out and much less active. They'll also tend to stay away from the glass and spend their time as close as possible to the center of the jar.
Don't shake the jar. Ants are fragile creatures, and shaking the jar or otherwise handling it roughly can cause them to die when their tunnels collapse on them. Handle the ant farm carefully.
Store the farm in a warm room. Place it in a room that tends to stay at a good steady temperature. Don't place it in direct sunlight, or the glass jar might heat up too much and overheat the ants.

Why in-home lactation?
During those early newborn days when feedings are frequent & sleep is at a minimum, getting out of the house with a newborn infant can be challenging. The convenience of an in-home lactation visit will allow you to use your time doing something more productive…like take a nap!
Not only is an in-home visit more convenient, your environment will be more familiar & comfortable for you & baby. You & baby will likely be more comfortable when you are surrounded by familiar things like your favorite chair, blankets, pillows, etc.
Do I need a lactation consultant?
If you are searching for lactation consultants, you may already know you need help. If you are still unsure, ask yourself all of the following questions. If you can answer "yes" to any of these, you may want to consider lactation support.
- Does it hurt when you nurse your baby?
- Does your baby not latch well? Does your baby come off & on the breast frequently during a feeding? Do you hear clicking & popping while your baby is feeding?
- Does your baby seem to cluster feed all day long? Does your baby not seem satisfied after a feeding?
- Are feedings lasting too long & occurring too frequently?
- Are you experiencing any nipple pain? Do you have cracks or bleeding of the nipples?
- Are you concerned that you are not producing enough milk? Is your infant not gaining weight at checkups? Is your infant not having enough dirty diapers?
- Are you making too much milk? Is your over supply causing difficulty with the latch?
- Are you returning to work & needing help with pumping? Do you have questions about your pump or just about pumping in general?
Amanda's areas of lactation experience include:
- Painful latch
- Latch concerns
- Feeding frequency
- Nipple pain (bleeding or cracks)
- Concerns with lip/tongue tie
- Low milk supply
- Oversupply of milk
- Pumping concerns/Returning to work
- Weaning from Nipple Shield
I'm ready to make my appointment. What should I expect?
Before your in-home lactation visit:
- Choose a day & time for your appointment
- Payment will be due at the time of scheduling your appointment. You can easily pay online in the scheduling section using Square. Lactation services are HSA/FSA eligible and accepted using Square.
- You will receive an e-mail with a link to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Please fill this out prior to the appointment so I can spend more time with you and baby
- Write down any questions you may have
During your in-home lactation visit:
- I will review and go over the history of you & baby, and gain an understanding of your lactation challenges & concerns. Depending on how hungry baby is when I arrive, this may come first or last.
- I will observe a feeding & make any suggestions or adjustments to positioning as necessary
- If necessary, I can assess babies mouth if there are any possible concerns of lip/tongue tie
- After the appointment, I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company to attempt reimbursement
- After much discussion, I will leave you with a personalized care plan for you to use & reference for the next several days
After your in-home lactation visit:
- I will fax any information necessary to your child's pediatrician and/or OB
- You will have support from me (via text, e-mail, or phone) for 14 days after our visit to make any adjustments necessary to your care plan
- If a follow up consult is necessary, this is available at a reduced price
Because I know you're already thinking about it…
- Please do not feel obligated to clean your home before I arrive – I'm a mother too, I get it!
- Expect me to come to you in whichever area of your home is most comfortable for you to nurse (nursery, bedroom, living room, etc)
- I will not ask your family to leave the home while I am there. Your support system, whether that is a sibling, husband, grandma, aunt, or whomever, is always welcome to join.
- Tip: From my experience, it's a good idea to have someone else present during your visit to help retain information & learn how to better support you after I leave.
- I do ask that you place your dogs or other animals in another room during your visit.

Apple has promoted Sir Jonathan Ive, the British designer responsible for most of the company's biggest hits in recent years, to the position of chief design officer at the company.
Jony Ive, whose previous title was vice president of design, will continue to be responsible for all of Apple's design work, "focusing entirely on current design projects, new ideas and future initiatives", according to Apple chief executive Tim Cook. But Ive's day-to-day managerial responsibilities will be delegated to the new vice presidents of industrial design and user interface design, Richard Howarth and Alan Dye.
Ive's promotion, first reported by British TV presenter and writer Stephen Fry in an interview with Ive for the Telegraph, frees him up to "travel more", he told Fry.
"Among other things, he will bring his energies to bear – as he has already since their inception – on the Apple stores that are proliferating around the world," Fry wrote.
But the promotion has been interpreted by some as allowing him to live in England, something which Ive, who has two children, has reportedly been keen to do for many years.
For most of Ive's tenure at Apple he was in charge of industrial design – broadly, the physical design of the company's hardware products. But in June 2013, Ive was promoted from senior vice president of industrial design to senior vice president of design, taking user interface design under his remit following the ouster in 2012 of Apple's previous software lead, Scott Forstall.
