On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwins publisher, J.M. Dent & Sons of London, released 1,250 copies of his work, The Origin of Species. Over the next 17 years, some 16,000 copies of the book would be publisheda tremendous number of any single book to be sold in that day and age. It was, said some, the book that would make man timeless. Since then, the controversy surrounding the system of evolution that Darwins book espoused has not abated. Today, most, if not all, state-supported colleges and universities teach organic evolution as a fact of science that is not to be doubted by any right-thinking person. In an era of increasing secularism and humanism, it is an understatement to say that evolution is vogue.
Because they recognized that evolution represented a serious obstacle to building faith in God and His Word, for the most part Christians of the past steadfastly opposed it. Restoration Movement history is filled with examples of just how serious a threat Christians understood evolution to be. In 1925, the Scopes trial brought evolution squarely into the public eye. Just two years later, in the fall of 1927, G.C. Brewer, a well-known preacher among the churches of Christ, delivered his Lecture on Evolution in Fort Worth, Texas. Two years after that, in 1929, George Klingman authored his book, God Is, published in direct response to the widely circulated pamphlet, Godless Evolution, written by Charles Smith, founder and first president of the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism. Brewer, Klingman, and many others of that era understood that evolutionunchallenged and consistently acceptedultimately results in the destruction of faith in God and His Word in the hearts of men.
Many today have acknowledged that point as well. In fact, there can be little doubt that present trends toward home schooling, and the significant increase in the number of Christian or private schools in recent years, are attributable directly to the fact that concerned parents no longer are willing to sit by idly and allow their children to be indoctrinated with evolutionary concepts. The pricethe loss of a childs soulis simply too high.
Parents, therefore, have sought assistance from a variety of sources as they attempted to find the means by which to protect the faith of their children. One of the sources to which mothers and fathers turned with supreme confidence was Christian education (e.g., Christian academies, colleges, universities, etc.)and rightly so. These institutions were begun by concerned Christians who wanted to provide high-quality education and a haven of safety where their children would have their faith in God and His inspired Word strengthened. Parents believed it was worth the financial sacrifice to ensure that the faith of their children was both protected and encouraged. Thus, Christian education became a valuable tool. Because it had such lofty goals, and because it was so successful in attaining those goals, it flourished.
Untold thousands have been blessed by it. However, the pioneers of Christian education in this country have long since departed. And in some instancesbecause they no longer are here to remind ustheir goals and objectives have faded along with their memories. As a result, on occasion those involved in Christian education have forgotten their roots, and the sacrifices made by so many of the past. Consequently, the temptation has arisen to meld once again with pseudo-intellectualism (opposition to which being the reason Christian education began in the first place). Gradually, without meaning to, we sometimes become that which we initially set out to oppose. A good example of this very thing is the teaching of organic and theistic evolution.
Origin and destiny are linked inextricably one to the other. To teach erroneous concepts on origins often results in one teaching erroneous concepts on destiny. We need to be reminded that if we give children a false, warped concept of their origin, ultimately they will end up with a false, warped concept of their destiny as well. G. Richard Culp, in his book, Remember Thy Creator, noted:
One who doubts the Genesis account will not be the same man he once was, for his attitude toward Holy Scripture has been eroded by false teaching. Genesis is repeatedly referred to in the New Testament, and it cannot be separated from the total Christian message (1975, pp. 160-161).
Those of us who teach in, serve as administrators for, financially support, or send our children to Christian schools, need to remember these two important points raised by Dr. Culp: (1) if we teach our children that evolution is true and that the Genesis account of origins is untrustworthy, it cannot help but reflect upon their attitude toward the remainder of Scripture and lead them to believe that it, too, is untrustworthy; (2) the Genesis account of creation cannot be separated from the total Christian message. Christ, on more than one occasion, gave His divine stamp of approval to matters pertaining to origins as discussed by Moses in the first eleven chapters of Genesis (John 5:46-47; Mark 10:6ff.; Matthew 24:37-39; et al.). Other inspired writers of both the Old and New Testaments did the same (e.g., Psalm 8; Nehemiah 9:6; 1 Peter 3:20-21; Romans 1:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:45; et al.). There are over 200 allusions to, quotations from, or references to the book of Genesis in the New Testament, and over half of those come from the first eleven chapters.
Mans origin was an important topic to the writers of Gods Word. It should be no less important to those of us who support Christian education today. After all, isnt that why we became involved in Christian education in the first placeto teach our children that Gods Word provides all things that pertain unto life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3)?
In their brilliant work, The Christian Scholar, professors Adron Doran and J.E. Choate have provided a chilling documentary, from actual historical records, of events that transpired at the College of the Bible in Lexington, Kentucky during the years of 1912-1917. Their discussion provides an interesting case study, and shows what can happen when Christian schools abandon the teaching of the Word of God on origins and replace such teaching with evolutionary dogma.
During the lifetime of J.W. McGarvey, Isaiah B. Grubbs, Charles L. Loos, and Robert Graham (the old guard at the College of the Bible), classrooms were free from the teaching of evolution and other forms of liberalism. But no sooner had they passed away than their former positions began to be undermined. R.H. Crossfield, the newly appointed liberal president of the College of the Bible, moved rapidly to appoint four new faculty members trained in higher criticism of the Bible. Only Hall L. Calhoun, who had earned his Ph.D. from Harvard, remained as a vestige of the old guard. Calhoun, who was the dean of the College, had been trained by McGarvey himself as his protégé. But the appointment of Crossfield destroyed any hopes Calhoun had for the future of the College of the Bible.
Early in 1917, Benjamin F. Battenfield, a mature student (in his late thirties) at the College of the Bible, complained to dean Calhoun about organic evolution being taught as fact in his classes, carrying with him evidence supporting his claim (class notes, statements from other students, etc.). Battenfield had come to the College of the Bible in 1910 because he wanted an education at the feet of men whom he thought revered God and His Word. As it turns out, such an education would prove to be more elusive than he ever could have anticipated.
Calhoun was convinced by the evidence that Battenfields charges were correct, and he set about trying to correct what he saw as a serious doctrinal problem in the teaching program of the College of the Bible. But he was to meet stern opposition from practically every quarter. As opposition to his stand from members of the Colleges faculty and administration grew, Battenfield decided to make the matter public. On March 12, 1917 he mailed to three hundred ministers an open letter, accompanied by a petition signed by numerous students, asking the Board of Trustees for an impartial investigation into the charges. Twelve days later, dean Calhoun released a statement to the Christian Standard (a popular religious magazine of that day), in which he stated: In response to certain inquiries which have come to me,... candor compels me to state that for more than a year I have been fully convinced that destructive criticism was being taught in the College of the Bible (as quoted in Doran, 1986, p. 4). Almost immediately, president Crossfield and the accused faculty members mounted a counterattack, issuing a letter of denial, stating that Battenfields allegations were false and represented nothing more than a vicious, unwarranted attack on the school. The student newspaper, the Crimson Rambler became involved, taking the side of the College.
In spite of pleas from those outside the academic atmosphere who loved and appreciated the school, the Board of Trustees decided to conduct only a brief, internal investigation. On May 2, 1917, the Board met to investigate the Calhoun/Battenfield charges. When additional members of the student body came to Battenfields support, providing eyewitness testimony about what had been taught in their classes, they were singled out and punished academically. Students who could have provided valuable information never were interviewed by the board. Shortly thereafter, the Board issued a report denying any culpability, and defending the professors involved, asserting that: The Board believes that the disposition to preserve the good of the past, combined with the ability to improve the task of the present, should be the underlying principle to its trusteeship of the institution (as quoted in Doran, 1986, p. 4). All efforts to reopen the investigation, and to secure a neutral, independent investigating team, were rebuffed by president Crossfield and the trustees. As Doran has suggested: The findings were a complete cover up and a perfect whitewash... (1986, p. 4). Dr. Calhoun was left with no choice but to resign, which he did in the summer of 1917. In their discussion of this controversy, Calhouns biographers offered these chilling concluding remarks:
There is really no place to end this never-ending chapter on the 1917 Battle of the Book that shook the very foundations of the College of the Bible in Lexington, Kentucky, for well over two-hundred days. The shockwaves of the aftermath of the earthquake have not yet subsided (Doran and Choate, 1985, p. 121).
As a result of these events, the College of the Bible went into extreme liberalism. Faculty members taught evolution as fact, administrators approved it, and trustees ignored it. Numerous Kentucky churches passed resolutions dissociating themselves from the school. Those who tried to correct the problem were belittled and denigrated. Eventually, however, history proved their testimony true (see Doran and Choate, 1985, pp. 103-121; see also Doran, 1986, pp. 4,10).
In assessing the events that occurred between 1912 and 1917 at the College of the Bible, Doran has written: It is altogether possible for the Firestorm in the Bluegrass, which swept the College of the Bible in 1917, to sweep the campuses of our Christian Colleges and Universities today (1986, pp. 4,10). This is a warning that should not be ignored, especially in light of teachings that have been documented in some Christian schools. There are clear indications that opposition to the teaching of evolution is not as pronounced as it once was, and that some institutions may be in danger of traveling the same road to liberalism as the College of the Bible. The evidence over the past few decades suggests that the teaching of various forms of evolutionwithin an atmosphere of Christian educationhas been tolerated, accepted, and even, in some cases, encouraged.
Though numerous examples could be provided, certain ones stand out due to the fact that the circumstances involved parallel so closely those of the Firestorm in the Bluegrass. For example, in 1985-86, both then-current students and recent graduates of the biology department at Abilene Christian University brought to the attention of the administration the fact that two professors, Archie Manis and Kenneth Williams, had taught, and were teaching, evolution as fact. Dr. Manis even had gone so far as to hand out photocopies of the text of Genesis 1 from his personal Bible, upon which he had handwritten his comment that the text was a myth. The scenario in 1985-1986 was almost an exact duplicate of the one at the College of the Bible in 1917. The President of the University, William A. Teague, offered strenuous and patent denials of the charges, even though eyewitness testimony was available, along with written proof, to document the students charges. The Universitys Board of Trustees performed a perfunctory internal investigation, and spurned requests from alumni and interested Christians for a more thorough, independent investigation to be carried out by respected Christians not specifically associated with the University. After its investigation, the Board issued what came to be known as the gray report (so-called because it was produced on gray paper), denying that either of the professors involved had taught evolution or labeled Genesis 1 a myth. A 200-page book, Is Genesis Myth?, was written to expose the whole sordid affair, because University officials were unwilling either to acknowledge, or correct, the problem (see Thompson, 1986). Eventually, under duress, the University placed restrictions on the professors teachings, even going so far as to require them to pass out cards on the first day of each semesters classes, in which supposedly it was made clear that although the topic of evolution would be examined, it was not something the professors actually believed. This actioncertainly too little too lateoccurred only after extensive public pressure from parents and alumni and the loss of financial support to the school. In January 1988, Dr. Manis announced that, as a result of the evolution controversy (as he designated it in an interview published in the universitys student newspaper), he was resigning to accept a position teaching high school biology in another Texas city (see Fitzpatrick, 1988, p. 1).
Prior to the debacle at Abilene Christian University, two Christian scientists, Jack Wood Sears and Donald England, professors at Harding University, mailed a letter to various biblical language scholars. Accompanying their October 1983 letter was a questionnaire on matters relating to origins as discussed in the first eleven chapters of Genesis. However, the questionnaire clearly was loaded in an attempt to secure only answers supporting the uniformitarian views that the two professors were already on record as advocating (see Sears, 1969, 1983; England, 1972, 1983). Among the inquiries that the questionnaire made, for example, was this: Is there a principle of Hebrew grammar or a rule of exegesis which would preclude the possibility of an indefinite time lapse between verses one and two or between verses two and three of Genesis chapter one? The professors also asked this question: Assuming the creation days of Genesis one were twenty-four hour days, is there a principle of Hebrew grammar or a rule of exegesis that demands the conclusion that each of the six creation days were consecutive, that is, no time could have elapsed to separate day one from day two, day two from day three, etc.?
Fortunately, the questionnaire came under close scrutiny by some who realized what these two men were attempting to do, and their effort was exposed publicly (Thompson and Jackson, 1984, 4:5-12; see our review of the questionnaire at: That Loaded Questionnaire). In a debate with this writer in November 1983 on evolution, creation, and the age of the Earth (see McClish, 1983), Dr. Sears announced publicly that the results from this questionnaire would be published in a forthcoming book. Fortunately, due to the exposure of both their intentions and the dubious nature of the questionnaire, the book never materialized and the results of the questionnaire were shelved quietly.
In the September/October 1984 issue of his bi-monthly publication, Does God Exist?, John N. Clayton of South Bend, Indiana published an article by Norman Hughes, professor of biology at Pepperdine University, which bills itself as a Christian university. The article was titled, Monism, Belief, and Scientific Explanations, and set forth the view that Christians should have no trouble believing in evolution. The author even went so far as to state: I believe that it is an uncritical acceptance of the monist fallacy which causes many believers to be terrified at the idea of evolution (Hughes, 1984, 11[5]:16). Again, a public response was required to answer this false teaching (see Jackson, 1984).
Just two years later, however, Dr. Hughes once again was in print on this same topic. In a letter to the editor of the Journal of the American Scientific Affiliation, he wrote: I am a theistI believe in God and in Jesus Christ as His revelation to mankind. I am an evolutionist.... But please, dont call me a theistic evolutionist! (1986, 38[4]:282). One wonders what, exactly, the professor would like to be called, if not a theistic evolutionist. Would he prefer the term evolutionary theist perhaps? More important, one wonders what he is teaching the children entrusted to him by parents who thought they were sending their children to a Christian university to have their faith in Gods Word (including Genesis) strengthened.
Unfortunately, these are not merely isolated cases; additional documentation of similar instances could be provided if space permitted. The threatboth to a young persons faith and to the future of Christian educationthat these kinds of teachings represent cannot be overstated. Apparently, at least in some cases, we have failed to learn from history the terrible effects of teaching evolution as a legitimate concept of origins.
Must we be among those who are doomed to repeat history because we have ignored it, and thus refused to learn from it? From time to time, we need to be reminded that mistakes of the past can teach valuable lessons for those of us living in the present. For example, success and soundness in days gone by does not necessarily guarantee that an institution of Christian education is immune to destructive errors and an onslaught of liberalism today. What took faithful men and women of a previous era years of blood, sweat, tears, and great financial sacrifice to build can be destroyed in a much shorter time by those who do not share the same respect for the Word of God. History will teach us well, if we will but listen and learn.
In addition, we of the present generation must take great care to deal honestly and fairly with the evidence of false teaching. We must set aside personal pride and vanity, and be willing to admit that mistakes can occur, in spite of our best efforts to the contrary. When a charge of false teaching is made, and the evidence is such that it substantiates the charge, those involved in the administration of Christian education must have the strength of character to act immediately and correct the error, and to ensure that it does not recur. Childrens souls are at stake.
Also, it is critical that those dedicated to loving and defending Gods inspired Word not grow indifferent or weary in that love and defense. It has been said that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing, and that apostasy is always only one generation away. This is particularly true in the case of modern Christian education, which came into existence specifically because concerned parents wanted to protect their childrens precious souls. The teaching of evolution goes a long way toward obliterating such an admirable goal. After all, if evolution is true, children have no souls. The question then becomes: How long will it be before our children figure that out for themselves, and act accordingly?

"China has been the world's largest chemical producer since 2010. The Plan indicates that the massive pollution found across the country, caused by large-scale chemical production and the release of hazardous chemicals, urgently needs to be tackled," said Yixiu Wu, Toxic Campaigner for Greenpeace East Asia based on Beijing.
"It's our hope that this announcement is quickly implemented and enforced – about half of China's rivers are not suitable for domestic use, and around 20% are deemed useless even for industrial purposes. We simply cannot wait any longer."
The Five Year Plan highlights the risks that toxic chemicals have posed to the nation's environment and health.
"The setting up of a blacklist for priority actions, which includes DEHP, BPA and Nonylphenol (NP) indicates strong political will. But most importantly, it sends a clear message to industry that these hazardous chemicals, which are banned in various other parts world, will have no place in the future of China," said Wu.
The Ministry of Environment's Five-Year Plan states that the government will come up with phase-out and restriction lists by 2015, which indicates that China's chemical management has shifted from pollution control -- once the norm in Chinese environmental policy -- to elimination.
Seven industries are listed for priority pollution prevention and control, including the textile industry, which has the focus of Greenpeace's global Detox campaign.
"Greenpeace has long documented and exposed the role of the textile industry in hazardous water pollution scandal. It's about time all chemical intensive industries, including the textile sector, clean up their act and eliminate the use of all hazardous chemicals from their products and production processes," said Wu.
Greenpeace has been campaigning for the restriction and elimination of hazardous chemicals in China since 1997.

Notes 1. 58 kinds of chemicals are for the first time listed into the priority risk prevention and control "blacklist", which includes endocrine disruptors such as DEHP, NP, etc.
2. The textile industry, as a downstream consumer industry, is classified as one of seven major risk prevention and control industries. They include petroleum refining, coking and nuclear fuel processing industry, chemical materials and products manufacturing industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, chemical fiber manufacturing industry, nonferrous metal smelting and calendaring industry.

ROCHESTER � For Rochester resident Jessica Tufts, getting her son Teagan showered in the morning has been an increasingly difficult challenge. Teagan 12�, is handicapped and while in Rochester public housing, Jessica had to lift him up over a lip to the shower. As Teagan hit 100 pounds, it was getting harder and harder.
Things are looking a lot better now.
Habitat for Humanity stepped in and helped Jessica set up a new life in a duplex on Silver Street. She, her husband Oliver House, friends and family put in hundreds of hours working on the duplex. The washer and dryer, stove and closets are all handicapped accessible. Light switches are lower, so Teagan can access them. There�s even an outside elevator to help him get inside. The most welcome improvement for Teagan, however, is the bathroom.
�We built a special shower,� said Keith Faris, building coordinator for Habitat for Humanity. �Just seeing (Teagan�s) face made all the work worth while.�
A specially designed shower wheelchair now allows Teagan to be wheeled directly in.
Another big boost for the family came through the generous donations of time and money from John Hancock and its employees in both Boston and Portsmouth through their World Habitat Day. Between Habitat for Humanity and John Hancock, there were 20 volunteers, five crew leaders as well as one member of the Cocheco River Watershed Coalition who descended on Jessica�s home recently. They landscaped, built walls and painted.
The volunteers also helped install two rain gardens. The rain gardens were the result of a partnership between the Cocheco River Watershed Coalition, the UNH Stormwater center, the NH Department of Environmental Services and Habitat for Humanity. Rain barrels will catch roof runoff and direct the water to the rain gardens, where it will infiltrate the soil to help remove pollutants. It�s another step toward restoring nearby Willow Brook.
Rain gardens previously were set up at School Street School, beautifying the grounds as well as helping the environment and helping the students learn about nature.
Many of the John Hancock volunteers drove from Massachusetts to help with the Silver Street project, spending upwards of an hour and a half each way in their cars. The work started at 8 a.m. and coordinators tried to get the volunteers out by 4 p.m. to keep their workday a reasonable length.
�Every time we have volunteers, they�re always willing to work and there�s no complaining,� Faris said. ��Like the president said, �we�re giving a hand up, not a hand out.��
Cameron�s donated 1,000 square feet of sod for the day full of volunteering. New England Pizza in Rochester, Pizza Hut, Rochester House of Pizza, Hannaford and Starbucks donated food and drink for the day�s efforts. Community Partners contributed half of the funds for wheelchair lift and an anonymous donor gave the other half. John Hancock also donated funding as well as volunteers.

ROCHESTER � For Rochester resident Jessica Tufts, getting her son Teagan showered in the morning has been an increasingly difficult challenge. Teagan 12�, is handicapped and while in Rochester public housing, Jessica had to lift him up over a lip to the shower. As Teagan hit 100 pounds, it was getting harder and harder.

Report a pothole in one of three ways:
Electronically, Make a Request Now. Watch Video on How to Make Electronic Requests.
With a Mobile Phone, Download the App at the App Store or Download the Android App on Google Play.
By calling Public Works at 563.326.7923, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 AM and 4:30 PM, except Holidays.
If you need to report an emergency, such as a tree obstructing traffic, traffic light malfunctions, illegal dumping, etc. call 563.326.7923, the phone is answered 24/7; by staff during business hours and an answering service after hours and on Holidays.
The City's Street Repair, Rehabilitation and Maintenance programs are complex in nature, as the treatments vary depending on the pavement condition index and pavement type. Funding is derived from a variety of sources, including Road Use Tax, Local Options Sales Tax and General Obligation Bonds. A portion of available funds is dedicated to year round preventive maintenance activities to extend the life of paved surfaces; remaining available funds is used to repair and rehabilitate roads.
A variety of preventive maintenance techniques are utilized to help preserve the City's street network, reduce future costly, time consuming rehabilitation and reconstruction projects and associated traffic disruptions. With timely preservation, the City can provide the traveling public with improved safety and mobility, reduced congestion, and smoother, longer lasting pavements. Preventive treatment selected depends on the age, volume of traffic, condition of the pavement and available funding.
Did you know, on average, the city fills 60,00 to 70,000 potholes each year to help smooth paved surfaces for the benefit of the traveling public and their vehicles? These repairs are prioritized based on severity, street classification and requests for service.
With 1,286 lane miles of streets in the city, citizens can help us improve our paved surfaces by turning potholes in for repair. To turn a pothole in, all you need to do is call us at 563.326.7923 or submit a request for service electronically.
Lane reductions, road closures, detours and traffic delays are necessary inconveniences that bring value to our community. There are several ways to stay informed of possible traffic impacts for improvements and repairs being made to area roadways and underground utilities.
Find out about current street closures, detours and lane reductions at this link.
Applications to close a road or reduce a lane of travel must be submitted by the contractor, or their designee, at least 3 days in advance of the closure, unless emergency conditions exist. Work cannot commence until the application is approved. See the Contractor Roadwork Application tab below.
The Snow Plan tab on our Snow and Ice page provides details on street snow and ice clearing.
In Iowa, several jurisdictions (e.g. the state, counties, and cities) have the authority to establish speed limits on roadways between 25 and 55 miles per hour (mph). The actual posted speed limit on a particular roadway, however, is typically established from the results of a traffic engineering study or survey. Find more information regarding posted speed limits on our Signs, Signals and Traffic webpage.
The city's Police Department enforces established speed limits and manages the city's red light and speed camera program.
Pushing Snow, Raking Out Leaves, Blowing Grass Clippings, or Pushing other Debris to the Street is Illegal.
Leaves and grass clippings left in the street can be washed to nearby storm drains where they can contribute to both localized flooding and degradation of local water quality.
Raking out leaves and blowing grass clippings into the street is considered a violation of the "Clean Water Act" and City Code, Chapter 8.14.400.
While Public Works does provide street sweeping to remove natural accumulations of leaves from our streets, the service does not provide for the removal of grass clippings or placed masses of leaves raked to the street. Clippings and placed masses of leaves can easily be distinguished from natural accumulations and can lead to fines ranging from $100 to $250.
The City offers several convenient alternatives to dispose of grass clippings, leaves and other yard wastes, including "No Sticker Yard Waste Weeks" in the spring and fall to encourage residents to properly dispose of yard wastes.
To report a rake-out or grass clippings in the street, call Public Works at 563.326.7923 or submit a request for service electronically.

daynig necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
My client wants a decent website for his business - running legal wildlife hunts in Poland. I'm looking for a suitable design (1 or 2 pages) from which to build it.
Poland Hunting
Feel the excitement of real hunting!
Desired Color Scheme:
Suitable for an outdoor sport
Desired Style:
No specific requirements apart from:
Navigation must be obvious
Contact details (phone and e-mail) prominent
Accepted File Formats:
My client's business is organising and hosting hunts in Poland for wild boar, deer and bison.
His market is people in the UK looking for real hunting (as opposed to target shooting etc) or an activity holiday with a difference. Most of the clients are shooting/hunting enthusiasts from the UK and further afield (incl the USA).
Examples of websites from his competitors are here:
There are no restrictions on the colours or type of design, all ideas are welcome.
The design needs to be suitable for a Home Page and all the inner pages of the site or supplied as a Home Page design and a generic inner page design.
We will provide photos for the final pages but you need to be able to supply any images used in your design.
The site will consist of a Home page plus About us, Boar hunting, Other hunting, Hunting packages and Contact Us pages (6).
Designs need to be submitted as Photoshop (psd) files only with the original included photos or images.
The design should be optimised for 1024 x 768 screens but viewable sensibly on larger screens. Looking good on 800 x 600 screens isn't a requirement.
I'll be away for a couple of days towards the end of the contest (Fri/Sat) so may not be able to give feedback for a short period.

Boy band One Direction will release a debut signature fragrance this summer as they enjoy soaring success.
The pop sensations, who have sold over 17 million records globally, will launch the scent as the first in a collection of One Direction fragrances.
Bandmember Niall Horan said: "As a band, we have been discussing making a fragrance for our fans for quite a while so we're really excited to finally have this opportunity. We've been working away on this and we're very proud of the way it has turned out – we really can't wait to hear what our fans think."
The boys' latest venture will see them joining the likes of Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and fellow X Factor success Cher Lloyd, all of whom have signature perfumes.
Their manager, Will Bloomfield, said: "The band are incredibly passionate about this project and have been closely involved in the creation of the scent, the packaging and bottle design and the name itself. The name of the fragrance is still confidential, but more news will be revealed in early 2013."
One Direction, nicknamed 1D by fans, are enjoying huge fame as their album Take Me Home reached number one in 36 countries, making it their second number one album this year.
They have become an international force, winning a BRIT Award, three Teen Choice awards, three EMAs and three MTV Video Music Awards all this year.
To date, their videos have been watched nearly 700 million times on VEVO, they have over 11 million followers on Facebook and over eight million Twitter followers.

DOD clarifies post-secondary tuition
Amaani Lyle
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON — The Defense Department has issued new policy guidelines intended to provide better protection for members of the military and veterans seeking tuition assistance for post-secondary degrees.
The department's revised voluntary education partnership policy specifies the expectations and agreements that colleges, universities and technical schools must adhere to in order to receive DOD underwriting, said Carolyn Baker, chief of voluntary education for DOD's military community family and policy office.
The guidelines, part of a new memorandum of understanding (MOU), "ensure certain protections for military members so that they have a quality education," said Baker.
Tuition assistance is a benefit available to Guardsmen, reservists, active duty members and veterans, allowing a degree from a Department of Education-accredited college or university.
To receive it, participating institutions must sign the MOU, and provide the student with clear information about financial procedures, course information and graduation rates.
"The MOU protects service members in providing them with information, so a service member can make a wise choice as to the institution they attend," Baker said. "We ask that all institutions provide service members with an education plan that states course requirements and evaluate credits earned at other schools, so the service member can move forward and actually obtain their degree."
The new guidelines clarify oversight, enforcement and accountability for educational institutions receiving military tuition assistance, Baker said.
Currently about 2,000 institutions participate in the tuition assistance program, and Baker said she encourages more to do the same.
The overall initiative supports the executive order establishing the President's "Principles of Excellence," Baker said. Those were issued in response to reports of aggressive and deceptive targeting of service members, veterans and their families by some educational institutions after the Post-9/11 GI Bill became law.
The guidelines pertain only to institutions accepting Title 4 funding, said Baker.

Carole Goldberg has taught Civil Procedure, Federal Indian Law, Tribal Legal Systems, the Tribal Legal Development Clinic, and the Tribal Appellate Court Clinic. The two clinics have rendered legal services to Indian tribes and Indian judicial systems. In 2006, she served as the Oneida Indian Nation Visiting Professor at Harvard Law School, and in 2007 she was appointed a Justice of the Hualapai Court of Appeals. In 2010, President Barack Obama appointed her to the Indian Law and Order Commission, which investigated issues of safety and justice in tribal communities, and in 2013 issued a Final Report recommending ways to improve Indian country criminal justice. Also in 2013, the Indian Law Section of the Federal Bar Association conferred upon her its prestigious Lawrence F. Baca Lifetime Achievement Award.
Following law school, Professor Goldberg clerked for Judge Robert F. Peckham, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. She has twice served as Associate Dean for the School of Law, from 1984 to 1989 and from 1991 to 1992. She has also served as Chair of the Academic Senate in 1993-1994. From 2011 to 2016, she served as Vice Chancellor, Academic Personnel, for the UCLA campus.
Goldberg's recent books include Defying the Odds: The Tule River Tribe's Struggle for Sovereignty in Three Centuries (Yale University Press 2010, co-authored with anthropologist Gelya Frank) and Indian Law Stories (Foundation Press 2011, co-edited with Kevin Washburn and Philip Frickey). Professor Goldberg has written widely on the subject of federal Indian law and tribal law, and is co-editor and co-author of Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law (1982, 2005, 2012 editions), as well as co-author of a casebook, American Indian Law: Native Nations and the Federal System (7th ed., 2015).

Laser Cutter Boasts High Throughput
The machine's new 40CF-R resonator technology reduces the rise time and fall time of the square-wave pulse. This provides more consistent beam power during the cutting process and delivers a more brilliant and consistent edge quality, according to company officials. Additionally, the uniform low-current discharge provides low-power stability for improved micromachining and etching.
Its new Brilliantcut technology, which can produce a cutting-surface roughness equivalent to the typical machined finish, provides optimal processing conditions, reduced taper and reduced discoloring on the heat-affected zone.
Also, new Jet Pierce technology decreases part time by allowing material to be pierced faster and more aggressively during small-hole processing. Improved height-sensor hardware gives the machine twice the tracing ability of the original machine.
Mitsubishi's Diamond-Path technology maintains consistent beam quality by using a constant beam-length system. It provides cutting stability at speeds to 1150 in./min. across all processing areas.

|Visitor Count
|On a good day, we get about 2,000 - 2,400 visitors. Yesterday we got over 30,000 and today the projection is for nearly 50,000.
Now all I can think is that either our counter has gone nuts, or we got mentioned somewhere that prompted a colossal flood of visitors. If so then I'd be very interested to know about it. And there's some urgency to this, because if this is real and it keeps up, I'm not at all sure I will be able to afford that level of traffic.
If you know of the site being mentioned in a magazine or something, please let us know via the email button below...
|Other Personnel
|Another 52 people have been added, covering much of DS9 season 2.
|Numerous updates and fixes, thanks to the following :
asdf154 - Several typos.
|Shuttle Specs
|After seeing a comment by G2k elsewhere, a canonical maximum speed for the Type 9 shuttle has been added. A few of the speculative shuttle speeds have been revamped to be more in line with this figure.
|Other Personnel
|Well, it's been a nice break but the Other People grind begins again. I started easy, so there are 20 more added today. They cover the last few episodes of DS9 season 1.
|Thanks to asdf for pointing out a replicated entry on the what's new page.
|I've added a few items to the lists over the last few days, most notably to the species list. This is an ongoing thing, as I'm going through episodes for people I'm finding various bits and pieces to add to the lists.
|Thanks to Jason Sammons who pointed out an error on the Yeager class page, Joseph Reekers for a couple of things on the fleets pages, and Gil Rodriguez for pointing out that canonically speaking, the Galors are destroyers not cruisers as the DS9 TM suggests.
|Thanks to MLeoDaalder who pointed out a typo. Turns out I'd mis-spelled Vaadwaur as Vaadwuar throughout the entire site.
|Thanks go to Matt L who pointed out a food item for the food list and a typo in Kasidy Yate's name on one episode guide - the latter prompted me to find several other places where a similar mistake was made. Also thanks to Rémi Maloney who pointed out a new YATI for A Matter of Time.
|Thanks to Kári Emil Helgason for pointing out an addition to the food list.
|Thanks go to Bob6800, who pointed out that the Intrepid class actually has five photon torpedo tubes not four! Also thanks to Silent Bob Foley who pointed out a mistake on the Griffin page, Mark Moore who pointed out an error on the Regulations list, The Curleys who pointed out an error in the Best of Both Worlds part 1 episode review and Josh Gilhen who pointed out several additions to the Descent body count.
|The list section should now be up to date, with the exception of a handful that I had to skip adding for various technical reasons. These should be done shortly.
|Various small nits - Brian Ng pointed out some mistakes on the Deep Space Nine battle pictures page, Josh Gilhen pointed out a couple of mistakes on the movie body counts, Sean Curley pointed out a nit on the Barge of the Dead factoid, Lee Joon Nyen pointed out a typo on the timeline pages, and Matt L pointed out that I had two episodes backwards on the Voyager episode guide pages.
|Thansk to Bruce A. Johnson for pointing out an error on the Other Personnel page - I had the Kes and Prytt governments mixed up!
|Lists / Episode guides
|A whole bunch more stuff on the lists - I'm done almost right through to the end of Enterprise season 2 now, so the lists are well on the way to being complete again. As always, if you see a missing planet, species, food, illness, etc, please submit it.
|Lists / Episode guides
|We've started updating the lists to add various food items, planets, species and suchlike. These all come from Enterprise episodes, so the relevant episode guide entries are being updated automatically as each one is added. More to come over the next few days.

deodar necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 23 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
muesli-a-la-carte will be an e-commerce operation, customers will be able to visit the muesli-a-la-carte website, create their own mix of muesli, and have it delivered in a cylindrical carton of approximately 15 portions. There will be a selection of over 75 ingredients to choose from, 10 bases and 65 'goodies'.
Accepted File Formats:
Logo preferably in vector format
The proposition
Target market:
Self-indulgent - 18-30 year olds/students enjoying 'everyday luxury'
Loving - 30+ yrs, ABC1 Mum - for self, partner and children - providing a healthy solution to her families likes and dislikes
Longevity - 50+ male/female - know what they like and dislike, conscious of what is good/bad for them
'Allergy alerts' - All ages with specific dietary requirements, food intolerances, eg those with a wheat allergy
The product:
Very high quality, tasty, organic, locally sourced wherever possible, fairly traded ingedients with provenance
Free of additives and preservatives
Great source of fibre, vitamins, minerals, proteins
Oats - help lower cholesterol/good for the heart
Consumption occasions:
At breakfast, as a snack during the day, for lunch, for dinner, at work/at desk, late night munchies.
What is required?
A logo
muesli-a-la-carte (NOTE: lower case m)
A pack design - front only
The pack is a cylindrical carton measuring approximately 115mm in dia. x 240mm high. Each pack will be identical and should show the logo clearly. A simple design is preferred, with lots of white space, to represent purity and simplicity. Each pack will be 'individualised' with a 'laser printed' sticker/ address label (any size, printed in one colour) showing the contents of the customer's special mix (generally no more than 10, but could be up to 20, separated by a comma), a customer reference number, up to 25 other words of text and an address.
A web design - 1 page only
Initially, the website will be the only sales outlet for muesli-a-la-carte. Therefore it must be extremely simple to use. The biggest challenge is how to show in a visually exciting and fun way that ingredients are being custom mixed. Not all of the 75 ingredients need to be shown at the same time. However, customers will be expected to scroll through two separate 'menus' (either at the same time or one after another) one of bases and one of 'goodies' and make their selections. The sample website page must show in a simple way, preferably by some form of visualisation, or listing, what has been chosen as a mix.
muesli-a-la-carte is not brown rice and sandals. It is healthy eating for the cosmopolitan urbanite. However, we want to avoid lots of lifestyle pictures of healthy people which we believe is a cliche.
The product is simple and straightforward. The site must reflect this proposition. A muesli mix from muesli-a-la-carte is wholesome and tastes good, but isn't much to look at. An attractive site could be created entirely on the strength of simple photographs of the product and crisp typography. In image terms the site should be contemporary in feel, straightforward, minimal and honest. Pictures of the ingredients are essential, maybe in small piles, or phials, or squares, spoons or any other appropriate grouping. It should be more about mixing a secret elixir from a selection of rare and precious commodities in a laboratory (or maybe a parody of this idea) than making a cake or a loaf of bread. If images of the contents themselves are included on the site they should be in a simple format that are easy to duplicate in the future. The ingredients will continually expand (there may eventually be a maximum choice of 25 bases and 75 goodies).
Product Description:
By bases, we mean eg a mix of flakes (oat, wheat and rye), or a tropical theme (cornflakes, rice puffs, toasted coconut, and quinoa flakes), 'Goodies'/ 'Additions' could be spelt puffs, toasted maltflakes, cashew nuts, chocolate coated banana chips etc

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, rampant in many parts of the world. It has become one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world, and homeless young girls and boys fall at risk. Human trafficking subjects victims to violence, deceit and compulsion for sexual exploitation or other forced labor.
Every day hundreds of thousands of minor girls and boys are trafficked and sold and forced into prostitution and bonded labor.
Helpless poor people, seeking a better life because of poverty, domestic violence and other pressures they have no control over, are brutally oppressed, often sexually abused, raped, beaten, starved and humiliated by heartless men who make a god of power and money. But when such a situation is discovered, the trafficker is often not punished appropriately because of slack laws or because the victim is too afraid and traumatized to co-operate with the prosecution.
So Indian Rescue Mission was started in the year 2009, to offer help and support for these young little children.

Ludwig-type stromuhr, London, England, 1920-1940
A stromuhr is used in physiological experiments on animals to measure the rate of blood flow through a vessel. One part of the glass chamber is connected to the artery (which carries blood away from the heart) and the other to the vein (which carries blood towards the heart). The time taken for the chamber to fill with blood gives the rate of flow. This type of stromuhr was invented in 1867 by Karl Ludwig (1816-1895), a German physiologist. Probably made by C F Palmer, a physiological instrument maker based in London, this stromuhr was donated by St Bartholomew's Hospital, where it was used.

'Fight, Scream, Holler' – Woman Fights Off Would-be Kidnapper in Parking Lot [VIDEO]
She was walking in a restaurant parking lot when a small white car pulled up with two men in it asking for directions.
Sharice (did not want last name published) of Denver Colorado had just parked her car and was walking to the restaurant to meet friends, as she started to give the driver directions, the passenger got out of the car and tried to put a white, damp towel over her mouth.
The whole incident was caught on surveillance video, and police are looking for the suspects...
Instinct kicked in for Charice, who told CBS4 Denver, that when she felt the towel was damp, and she held her breath and fought back.
She struck him with an elbow first, then punched her attacker, and knocked him to the ground. Sharice then ran to safety hopping over a railing at the restaurant.
Sharice has a message for anyone that may find themselves in a similar situation, "Kick, Scream, Holler... Let your voice be heard." Here is the news piece on her story...

NEW YORK, July 21 (UPI) -- Police say they have heightened security at movie theaters across the United States following the Aurora, Colo., theater shooting during a screening of Batman.
Several hundred people gathered at a vigil Friday night near the movie theater where 12 people were killed and 58 injured in a shooting rampage. Police were planning to try to enter suspect James Holmes's apartment, which he told authorities he had booby-trapped with explosives.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Friday extra officers were on duty in and around the city's movie theaters in an effort to prevent copycat shootings, CNN reported.
"We're just concerned that someone perhaps seeking notoriety will attempt to do something similar," he said. "We always hear that when a high-profile event happens, so we're doing this to sort of raise the comfort level of people who are going to the movies."
Similar precautionary police efforts were taking place in Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, Tampa, Fla., Washington, D.C., and Chicago.
"It's a little bit of a loss of innocence," Chris Johnson, vice president and co-owner of Classic Cinemas, in Chicago, told the Chicago Tribune.
"It's sad," he said. "We're such a great industry where people go out just to have fun."
Meanwhile, theater chains and owners are considering implementing permanent security measures, said Gary Kline, spokesman for The National Association of Theatre Owners.
"At this moment we're just responding to what happened and we'll be talking to our members and it's up to individual members," Kline told NBC News.
AMC Theatres told Deadline Hollywood it plans to reinforce its rules preventing guests "in costumes that make other guests feel uncomfortable and we will not permit face-covering masks or fake weapons inside our buildings."

The do's and don'ts of power strips
During a recent Kansas Department of Labor worker safety inspection, the university received a citation for use of power strips in a maintenance shop. While at first blush it seems a little strange, after all, we use these power strips at home. In addition, they are inexpensive and readily available. So what's the problem?
Power strips, also known as relocatable power taps, strip plugs, power taps and temporary power taps were invented and designed to be used as a multiple outlet extension in the laboratory and at home. Officially called relocatable power taps, they are listed by Underwriter Laboratories Inc. under standard UL1363. Those power taps have some degree of electrical surge protection and electrical noise filtering for the protection of sensitive electronic equipment are also known as transient voltage surge suppressors.
Relocatable power taps and transient voltage surge supressors are only designed for use with a high concentration of low-powered loads such as computers, audio and video equipment, musical instruments, home movie lighting, home workshops and laboratory equipment. They are not intended for use with high load equipment such as refrigerators, coffee pots, space heaters, microwave ovens, toaster, toaster ovens, fans and shop equipment. Essentially anything with an electric motor and possibly a pulley and belt.
Relocatable power taps and transient voltage surge supressors are not extension cords. Power taps are not considered temporary wiring. Although one of the alternative names is temporary power taps, the temporary refers to the physical mounting of the device. Physical mounting of relocatable power taps is permitted as long as removal does not require the use of tools.
According to the UL listing, installation instructions for relocatable power taps includes:
- Intended to be directly connected to a permanently installed receptacle;
- Not intended to be series connected (daisy chained) to other relocatable power taps or to extension cords;
- Not intended for use at construction sites and similar locations;
- Not intended to be permanently secured to building structures, tables, work benches or similar structures, nor are they intended to be used as a substitute for fixed wiring; and
- The cords are not intended to be routed through walls, windows, ceilings, floors or similar openings.
Keep in mind the UL requirement on permanent securing. It is often desirable to secure the relocatable power taps to avoid damage but secured such that no tools are required to remove it. Do use relocatable power taps for their intended purpose and with the intended equipment or loads. Avoid physical damage, exposure to water or wet locations.
Although relocatable power taps are allowed for use in laboratories, use them safely and properly. Consider the load before plugging into a relocatable power taps. Do not plug in heavy appliances with high-powered loads, plug relocatable power taps into extension cords or other relocatable power taps, use outdoors or on construction sites. Remember, living better with electricity safety is the key.

"Wa I wa Neko de aru"
"Uh Ai weesh Ai wur a burd!"
"He touched me where it hurts ;("
"And so, one has dropped me to my knees, and possessed me to cry a river of beautiful tears("
- NOTE: "Neko" is also a term used to mean "catgirl". Why, you ask? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING JAPAN, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO IN JAPAN.
Neko (猫、ねこ), also commonly known as Chiyo Chichi (千代 父) or Chiyo's Dad, is a character from the popular animu, Azumangay Daioh. He is highly popular, although known to secretly destroy anyone he hates during offscreen times.
About Neko[edit]
Not much is known about Neko, when he was born, who his parents were, are all shrouded in mystery. What we know is, he has a daughter named Chiyo and he had sex with himself to produce her. We also know that when he is forced to remove someone to silence him, he cannibalizes them and then turns their bones into chalk.
Neko is known to have many hobbies, such as testicle licking and playing "qwake tu". He is also often seen around hot springs, "helping" young girls with their "cleaning" of their bodies (usually involving their "lower region")
The Early Years[edit]
Neko started out whoring himself to female kitties to build up funds while increasing the size of his Ca Twang. When he had achieved a large enough Twang, he moved on to selling crabcakes in Los Angelos, but was shunned for being yellow by the racists.
He tried to recoup his losses by joining a cheerleading squad, but would be sacked later on as he would often take peeks upward while he was doing the "people pyramid". After being fired, he tried to apply for a job as a taxi driver, but he could not grip onto the steering wheels due to many factors, such as his lack of fingers, and the lubricative feel his palms have developed from touching the fresh young butts of teenage boys.
Later he joined the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese baseball league, throwing 5 perfect innings and becoming the only Japanese pitcher to hit a home run in his first at-bat. His career looked promising until the post-game conference, when the authorities realized he was not human and suspended him.
Neko's Prime[edit]
Neko only began to be recognized by the masses when he struck a lead role in the animu Azumanga Daioh, where he would fondle female students, pretending to be a doctor under the cover of their classmate, Chiyo's dad. He would assist them in "cleaning" their "basements" and "mopping" them until they were squeaky.
A smarter student came on to his schemes, and he was forced to eat him, hence our not knowing his name up till now. As of then, Neko has put his molesting on hold, and instead focuses on sending girls to america and pretending to be a "bird".
The Fall of Neko[edit]
Neko would later become too horny due to a lack of HIGH SCHOOL GIRLZ N STUF, and often went to Whore Hut, the rival of Pizza Hut. He had too much "pie" and acquired many forms of aids, such as hearing aids.
His daughter Chiyo would then migrate to Amerika without him, leaving him and his nighttime english lessons obsolete. Neko tried to commit suicide but his hands did not have fingers, and thus was unable to pick up a knife.
Neko slowly faded out due to the cancellation of Azumanga Daioh, and has never been seen or heard of ever since. Some say he became a bird, while others say he might have been over sixty years old.
The True Strength of Neko[edit]
It is rumored that Neko has a hidden level of strength, only truly unleashed when one of the following conditions are fulfilled -
- Neko is suspected of being a fake cat
- Neko is being fingered by a Fucking Motherfucker
- Neko is having sex with a pickle grinder
- Neko is stopped from molesting his targets
- Neko feels like molesting real men
When Neko unleashes his true power, none can stand in his way. He will go to any means necessary to ensure that his enemies' tongues are pulled out, and their genitals slashed and soaked in lemon juice. It is wise to commit Seppuku when Neko is in his enraged form, for the pain he will make you feel cannot be described by words.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Don't expect to see an overwhelming influx of female faces following the midterm elections this year. In fact the way the primaries are going, don't put your money on seeing more than just a few.
The 2012 presidential election saw women voters playing an integral roleand both Democrats and Republicans say they've made concerted efforts since then to bring women more clearly into their focus, as both eager voters and candidates.
But you wouldn't know it by looking at the number of women candidates still in the running for the midterms in November.
"We've seen over time, if you really map this data out, in terms of [female] candidates for the last 15 to 20 years you do see gradual increases over time," said Kelly Dittmar, a research professor at the Rutgers Center for American Women and Politics. "But the point being said, we did see a decrease instead of an increase [of candidates] this year."
Judging the parties by the numbers at least, it's a political disaster.
In 2012 there were 334 female candidates who signed up to run in primaries, according to the most recent data from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
This year, there were just 277- a 17 percent decrease. And the picture is even less encouraging now that most of the primaries are over. Just 183 female candidates are still in the running, with 471 open seats.
Which party is struggling most to field female candidates? Republicans have historically trailed behind Democrats in terms of female representation and this year is no different. The GOP fielded 110 women candidates in 2014, compared to 167 for the Democrats.
Of course focusing on raw numbers can be misleading.
"We have so many members of Congress in safe congressional seats. You can't just look at the bottom line number of women running," said Andrea Bozek at Project Grow, a National Republican Congressional Committee initiative that focuses on female candidates. "There are maybe 40 races in the House that are competitive."
Nathan Gonzales at the Rothenberg Political Report breaks down why Republicans might be hesitant to ask women to enter competitive races:
"There are 177 congressional districts where President Barack Obama received at least 54 percent of the vote in 2012. Only two of those districts are currently held by Republicans…In fact, recruiting GOP women in these districts might actually hurt the party's cause.
How can party strategists credibly ask a woman to put her career and family on hold with full knowledge that she will likely lose?"
It's also hard to deny that a lack of commitment, between both potential candidates and parties, may also be a factor.
"I do think it's a question of parties talking about prioritization of recruitment to women candidates and what they are actually doing on the ground is the question," Dittmar said.
Emily's List is one of the top players in recruiting Democratic-leaning women to run for public office. The private, pro-choice political action committee (PAC) formed in 1985 and offers startup money and mentorship support to demale candidates they deem viable political challengers.
On the right, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) created Project Grow in 2013 to help identify successful female candidates and encourage more women voters. This year it has inducted 20 women into the NRCC's Young Guns mentorship program.
Both organizations say they identify and recruit promising female candidates, offer them mentorship throughout their campaigns and provide them with advice on how to accumulate financial backers. Money is a big hurdle for women candidates.
"In particular women candidates have struggled with fundraising," Andrea Bozek of Project Grow said.
The lack of monetary support is a particular pain point for the GOP.
While a group like Project Grow is willing to invest in women candidates, outside conservative PACS have so far generally given more in individual contributions to male rather than female candidates.
That financial disadvantage is especially damaging in the primary phase of an election, says Kelly Dittmar of Rutgers University.
"Emily's List—when it comes in it boosts candidates—it boosts them with party leadership and it boosts them to give them early money," said Dittmar said. "There is not a similar entity that does the same thing with the same effectiveness on the Republican side."
Putting more women on the ballot doesn't necessarily mean more women will end up in Congress – but closing the candidate gender gap is going to be an important step for both parties as they head into the 2016 presidential election.

New school site purchased in the Queenstown areaEducation
Education Minister Hekia Parata and Associate Minister Craig Foss today confirmed the site for a new primary school in the Queenstown area.
The three-hectare site in the Shotover development, adjacent to the Lake Hayes Estate, is located in an area expected to experience significant population growth in the next 15 years.
Hekia Parata said: "Confirmation of the agreement to purchase is excellent news. Queenstown is growing and the community needs extra schooling capacity. The Shotover site is well-located and will ensure young learners are well-catered for.
"When the Government opened the new Remarkables Primary School it said a new primary school would be built between Queenstown and Arrowtown.
"The site we have identified will have good vehicle, cycling and pedestrian routes to the existing Lake Hayes Estate and give Queenstown students new and exciting educational opportunities in a modern 21st century environment."
Craig Foss said: "Shotover was identified as a logical choice for the location of a new school, given its centrality to population growth and the positive attributes of the site.
"The site is part of a wider plan to expand schooling capacity in the area. Earlier this year, a new site for the Wakatipu High School was acquired in the Remarkables Park development and the school is expected to move to the new site in the near future. The Shotover site purchase is another important development in the provision of education in the Queenstown area."
In 2009, the Government announced a range of interim measures to accommodate the imminent student roll growth. Immediate changes were made to Queenstown Primary School and Wakatipu High School to enable them to accommodate more students in the interim. The Shotover site is located to the south of State Highway 6 and will be central to a planned residential development for 750 houses. Work is underway to open the new school by February 2015.
