Title: The Zangi Delfino
Post by: Midway Tommy on April 03, 2019, 03:34:17 PM
The Zangi Delfino (i.e. Dolphin) is a very large surf size reel and was Zangi of Italy's first heavy duty salt water model. This brute weighs in at 24 oz with no line, has a 3.2:1 gear ratio and will hold 520 yds of 10#, or 300 yds of 20#, mono. It was distributed by Horrocks-Ibbotson of Utica, NY and was advertised in 1957 at a price of $46.20. :o
A week or so ago I opened up this old Delfino and found it full of ooh & goo! I could tell I was in for quite a fun filled ordeal. That stuff was so sticky I had to scrape it out one screwdriver blade width at a time. I wiped off as much old grease as I could with a rag before putting the unpainted metal parts in my lacquer thinner jar. The body had so much goo & hard grease in it I had to wash it, the side plate and rotor with Xylol before I did my normal Original White Goop & warm water Dawn washes. I used Xylol because it doesn't remove the paint or anodizing.
After a couple of days soaking, good cleaning and buffing here are all the parts ready to reassemble.
I started with the spool click. This thing has one heavy duty brass dog & hefty spring.
As usual, before my hands get greasy I install the bail trip, bail spring and bail arm. Surprisingly, Zangi only uses one bail spring in their reels. I use ArmorAll as a lubricant in these locations because it stays slick and doesn't collect dirt & grime. Zangi often used a plunger type rod as a bail trip. The rod slides inside a spring in a tube in the rotor and is retained in the tube by that tiny brass screw. That's one you sure don't want to lose! ::)
After the bail trip & bail arm are installed I'll check the bail for perfect alignment and bend or adjust it where necessary. I usually install the bail now but because of its size & attachment simplicity Ill wait until later. You can see the brass plunger retention screw in this photo.
I start the body assembly with the anti-reverse pivot & knob. A small spring washer goes between the pivot and body. The knob is retained by a tiny screw. All the internal parts get lubed with Super Lube grease and synthetic oil. I grease every screw hole for easier removal down the road.
Next I install the anti-reverse dog. Notice how large and heavy duty the dog is. It has a hefty spring, too.
It's time to install the pinion worm gear and bearing. The pinion rides in a removable oilite bushing at the rear of the housing. The bushing is already installed. The small pin screw fits in a groove in the oilite to hold it in place once the pinion is installed. The ball bearing is open on both sides. I prefer slower greased lubricated ball bearings so I first oil the balls & races with synthetic oil, fill the bearing with Super Lube grease and then add a little more oil to thin the grease. The bearing retainer has three bolts and the heads double as bail trip studs. This is quite different than most reels. The bail will trip in three different locations.
Here is an interesting design. The oscillation shaft and main gear shaft have spiral grooves milled into them, kind of like rifling. 8) Thats a good idea for smoothness and dispersing lubrication. You can also see the three bail trip studs on the bearing retainer.
Notice the diameters of the oscillation shaft and main gear shaft! :o The oscillation shaft is 5/16" & the main gear shaft is almost 7/16". No wonder the reel weighs a pound and a half. :D
Its now time to slip in the main gear, snug up the locking nuts and install the rotor. The rotor nut, like most Zangi made reels, is reverse thread, i.e. lefty tighten. Many an unknowing reel tech has cracked one of those brass reverse thread nuts and they're near impossible to find. It doesn't take much wrong way torque to break them. Buying a tap and making a new one is about the only alternative. Also, notice the small gear teeth on the main gear and the oilite busing on the pinion housing. These are for a stout oscillation gear.
Now the main shaft and oscillation gear get installed. Like I said earlier, all the internal parts get greased with Super Lube & synthetic oil. The oscillation block attachment to the main shaft is very interesting on this reel. The back end of the shaft is threaded and the oscillation block is held between two nuts. What makes this so unique is that spool reciprocation can be easily adjusted for perfect line lay. This is the first reel I have seen with that feature. The steel oscillation gear is robust, as is the oscillation arm.
Internals are all done so now it's time to install the bail, line roller, under spool felt washer and side plate. Notice the screw & nut on the side plate and the rounded end stud in the center of the small oscillation gear. The small screw can be adjusted so that it rides against the ball on the main gear so that there is no side movement in the main gear. That is an interesting and unique feature.
It's time to adjust the main gear and tighten the lock nuts, install the handle knob (I use ArmorAll here, too), install the handle, spool and drag knob. Also, notice there's a screw on the main shaft housing to oil the main shaft.
Well the beast is all back together, cleaned up nicely considering all the goo inside, looking pretty darn good, IMHO, and works like new! This is one of, if not, the heaviest built reels I've ever dis and reassembled. Old time quality and engineering at its finest, that's for sure.

Great job on showing us what that tank looks like on the inside.
Your work is always nice and clean, with great detailed pics.
Thank you Tommy!
I was hunting these down a while back, but most Ive seen never looked too good.
Yours looks great, if you have more of the same, maybe we could talk trade🙂

Dang, $46.20 in 1957
Looking at the amount if grease, maybe they put in $10 worth of grease in it ::)

Beutiful reel, is it just me or did I not see a drag stack? With all that metal, I'm certain you could put quite a bit of torque on that thing.

Ron Jones
It is inside the spool under the top tension adjustment washer, which is pressed in.
It consists 2 metal washers and a coil spring. Since this one isn't going to be fished I opted not to try to pop out the top tension adjusting washer and bend it. I thoroughly cleaned the innards of the spool drag and left it be. The drag recess is about a half inch deep.

Transfer News
Manchester United positive about highly-rated striker Erling Haaland will happen ahead of the January transfer window
Manchester United staff have reportedly convinced a transfer for Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland will go ahead.
The highly-rated striker has been making a name for himself this season, bagging an incredible 26 goals across all competitions.
Haaland's displays have seen him attract interest from across Europe with Liverpool and Manchester United battling for his signature.
The striker's father, Alf-Inge, formerly of Manchester City, has already visited Carrington.
And certain members of the United staff now expect them to secure his signature despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus.
United are also boosted by the fact Haaland worked under Solskjaer during their time together at Molde.
The Red Devils are in desperate need of firepower upfront with Marcus Rashford currently leading the line.
Anthony Martial and Daniel James have both chipped in with goals while Mason Greenwood is also being deployed off the bench.
But the decision to allow Romelu Lukaku to leave in the summer without replacing him has proved costly.
However, Mino Raiola could pose a problem in their pursuit of Haaland.
Any move for the 19-year-old would require dealing with agent Raiola and that is viewed by the United hierarchy as a potential problem.
The current state of their relationship is unclear with Raiola being very vocal about Paul Pogba's intentions earlier this year.
They've also had dealings with Raiola when it comes to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
While United bosses get to work on luring Haaland to Old Trafford behind the scenes, Solskjaer will be focused on getting back to winning ways in the Champions League this week.
United have already qualified for the knockout stages and with a clash against Aston Villa on Sunday to come the Norwegian boss is likely to rest several of his key stars.

My Stuff
an unforgettable experience in san pedro prison (sabado, 9 octubre)
La Paz
This morning I met up with Julio and he introduced me to his friend, Carmelo, who had done 8 months in San Pedro for drugs. We walked to San Pedro Prison. It´s one of the weirdest, atypical prisons in the world, and I wasn´t going to pass it up. I had to wait for a little bit in the plaza outside of the prison while Carmelo arranged the details with the prison guards, but it was a nice, sunny day so I didn´t mind. Carmelo came back and said we needed to wait for about an hour, so we went to a place called Nueva Era where I ordered carrot and potato soup and maracuya juice.
An hour later, we walked back to the prison. Getting in wasn´t too difficult. Carmelo introduced me to a friend, who brought me through the prison gates, where one of the police wrote a number on my arm, searched my bag, and asked me a few questions. Inside, I met my ´tour guide,´a guy named Juan Carlos who was arrested for being an accomplice in a drug deal. He could speak English and Spanish, so the tour alternated between different languages. He showed me all parts of hte prison and explained the prison society, introduced me to other prisoners, etc. Inside, there are only male prisoners, but many of their wives and children live in their cells with them. The cells are more like dorm rooms (complete with stereos, cell phones, microwaves, furniture, etc) than cells. The family unit in Bolivia is more ´traditional´than in the US. If the dad gets arrested, he is still expected to be a father to his children and take care of them. The whole family will live in a cell (the wife and kids can leave the prison whenever they want) because there is so much poverty in Bolivia and it´s hard for a woman to find work and provide for her kids. I talked to a few of the wives and watched the kids play soccer in the plaza of the prison.
There are also restaurants inside, where I ordered a vegan fruit smoothie for less than $1. The cops also never enter the prison. The prisoners have to do everything themselves...cook, clean (well not always, parts of it are kinda dirty), work (in restaurants, making crafts, maintenance, and security). At first I saw a bunch of guys wearing black uniforms that said ´SEGURIDAD´(security) and carrying batons, so I was relieved...then Juan Carlos told me that the security inside are also prisoners, but ones who don´t have a record of violence (they have drug offenses), and who have good reports of prison behavior. There are also cocaine labs inside the prison. It is made cheaply in the prison and it costs less to buy a gram of coke than it does to buy a bottled water. Almost all of the prisoners use coke, and many also use pasta basé (crack) which is a big problem in the prison. However, the guards don´t care as long as everybody is peaceful and not violently causing problems. Because the prison is so different than others, and the guards do not go inside, the prisoners almost always behave, because if they don´t they´ll get sent to a worse prison or they´ll lose the ´freedom´they have inside, compared to other prisons. Juan Carlos introduced me to some of his fellow-prisoners who are his friends (Pablo, Jose, and I forget the third guy´s name). I met a lot of prisoners and they were kind of stand-offish at first, but when they realized I can speak Spanish, suddenly became really friendly and nice (Bolivians don´t generally like Americans, because our government persuaded their government to crack down on drug laws, which severely hurt their economy and contributed to more poverty and broken families. It also was corrupt bc the money the US gave to Bolivia to help with the drug enforcement program was embezzled by some of the higher-ups in the Bolivian government, so the foreign aid never actually was used to help the people. And the police are severely underpaid so they will arrest as many people as possible in order to earn more money to support their own families...it just goes in circles).
I heard MANY different perspectives from the prisoners about their lives, offenses, life inside and outside the prison, the justice system (which operates along lines of bribery), their attitudes, views on cocaine/crack/drugs, etc, gangs (some of them are in prison gangs in LaPaz, some are ex-gang members who want to change), and Christianity. There are 5 churches in the prison (ecclesiastical, catholic, orthodox, protestant, and jehovah´s witness). Some believe, some don´t, and some have found God. One guy told me that prison wasn´t completely bad because it was there he learned about God and learned that he still can have hope to change his life. It was really interesting, and it was difficult leaving, mostly for the same reasons it was hard leaving my job in the US. I felt like most of the prisoners weren´t that different than the kids I used to work with, except these are adults and speak a different language. Many seemed very kind, intelligent, and creative. Juan Carlos did not introduce me to the ´crazy´ ones. Part of me wants to get a joint masters in social work and criminal justice and work as a prison social worker. In some ways it was a shame I was there for such a short time instead of getting the chance to actually help these people like the kids I used to work with.
I also felt like I want to spend more time (quasi-permanently) in La Paz and figure out a way to volunteer /work inside this place with the kids who have to live there. Prison is no environment for kids to grow up (especially since the prisoners do drugs inside--I watched people doing coke and was talking to a guy while he was smoking crack), they face much discrimination when they leave the prison walls, and grow up too quickly, not having the innocence and happy childhood they should have. They only learn how to ´survive´ as opposed to live, and miss out on many opportunities normal kids have. Even if I didn´t get paid I really want to figure out a way to do some sort of thing to work with these kids and teach them about choices and that they DO have a future. Many of the current prisoners have parents who were also prisoners and that kind of life is all they know and it{s hard to get out of a life of crime. The circle just keeps coming around, and I want to look into organizations in order to help break that circle somehow. All the prisoners are adults, but in many ways reminded me of the kids I worked with back home. Just now are they (well not all of them) learning the consequences of their actions, responsibility, and the power of their mind to make choices that affect their lives. Working with adults in the prison population would also be really good...even though they´re older, it isn´t ever too late for someone to change their life. Often the adult prison population is ignored and lacks the appropriate counseling/social work programs/ skills programs etc in order to support them with their struggles and efforts, and I also would like to do something about this... for these reasons it´ll be incredibly difficult wanting to come back to the US. There is a lot more need for social workers down here and finding a job would not be hard. No one here wants to work in prisons or youth detention centers because they are just regarded as ´screwups´by the rest of society, especially in Bolivia which is the poorest and possibly most corrupt South American country.
After I went to the prison I went to the markets and tried api, which is a traditional hot juice drink made out of corn. I ordered a kind called mexclado (mixed) because it uses purple and yellow corn. It is really sweet. Then I walked down Calle Jaén, which is one of the historic cobblestone streets. I went to bed early, planning on going to the ruins of Tiwanaku the following day.

What kind of pantyhose do hooter waitresses wear
It sounds a little harsh and crazy — after all, sometimes you just don't want to bother changing until you're in the comfort of your own home — but it turns out, this rule is mostly to protect the Hooters girls themselves. Pregnancy and parenting news, given to you in a way nobody else has. Apparently once a month, most Hooters locations have a costume day where Hooters girls can ditch the orange shorts and white tanks and opt for some kind of a fun costume. Covering the hottest movie and TV topics that fans want. And, it's not as if the hose are supplied as part of the uniform — it turns out, the Hooters girls are forced to buy their own panty hose, and it needs to be in the official, mandated "suntan" colour, a shade designed to make their legs look tanned and gorgeous. A fresh take on sports. Some women work there for a while and absolutely love the sisterhood and enjoy their time, while others hate it — but they all know it's a way more interesting job than most serving gigs because of what people think about Hooters girls. Sure, servers are always supposed to look their best, but that can mean different things for different people — some women love to go full glam, regardless of the occasion, while others wear minimal make-up, if any. In actuality, Hooters girls come in all shapes and sizes. Okay, we can kind of understand how a chain like Sephora would require employees to wear make-up at all times — after all, that's what they're selling, and there's a big chance a customer might be inspired to buy a product after seeing it in an employee's look. Okay, so apparently, Hooters girls literally are not allowed to be seen outside of work in their uniform. So, if you've ever considered being a Hooters girl but worried you didn't meet the cup requirement, worry no more — no such thing exists. Continue scrolling to keep reading Click the button below to start this article in quick view. Many employees who work in the restaurant industry get some kind of a meal incentive as a perk, whether that be a staff meal prepped by the chef or just a certain amount of free food they can consume while they're on shift. One question many people have when they think about Hooters is how it's even allowed to hire employees based largely on their looks.

SAVING Vs BORROWING?
Saving vs Borrowing? One of the easiest ways to reduce your debt is to not get into consumer debt in the first place. The advertising draws the inexperienced in, and a lack of disposable income resulting from not paying off these debts make it self-perpetuating.
Let's look at the difference in saving for a car or borrowing to buy a car.
By saving $283 per month ($3,400pa) over five years at 5% interest you would have $17,000 which when invested with interest, gives you almost $20,000 to spend.
Banks promote the 'have it now' mentality which means by paying $283 per month ($3,400pm) over 5 years at 14% you would still have invested $17,000 for a $10,000 item. Both of these examples demonstrate the power of compound interest working for you or against you.
An added problem is that by the time you pay off the first car over 5 years, it needs replacing and you have to borrow again, and again. By saving for a good car, you have 5 years to save for a replacement while driving a new car — and you will never have to borrow. Borrowing money for a non-appreciating asset is never a good idea.
Did you know?
By borrowing the money and paying it off over five years you paid $17,000 for a $10,000 car.
Savings + interest over 5 years
Amount borrowed = $10,000.00
Repayments+interest over 5 years
It's easy to see the difference. All you need is some patience.

We're virtually there — at a report high in Aussie shares. The ASX 200 is inside spitting distance of its 2007 peak.
Over the similar timeframe, gold has greater than doubled in Aussie greenback phrases.
However maybe we're not going back far sufficient.
Aussie stocks have doubled since the early 2000s.
The gold worth has quadrupled.
Going nowhere for 12 years
Stocks have gone nowhere for 12 years.
And an inanimate lump of metallic is doing better than the captains of Aussie business going back even further than that. What does that inform you about our corporate high flyers?
But my real concern is for all those who needed to retire in the meantime. The people who, in 2009, had to promote their stocks at half the worth they purchased them at in 2007, for instance.
That'd be robust to stomach. Financially and in any other case.
I'm wondering what number of retirees stored faith in the system all this time. What number of needed to come out of retirement to cover up for the finance and superannuation business's shifty assumptions about stocks going up in the long run.
Our readers are typically in one in every of the two groups. People who don't stick their head in the sand once they realise they've been lied to.
Not amongst our readers are the people who by no means saw their retirement pots recuperate. They never noticed stocks carry out as monetary advisers and politicians had promised. The retirees who watched their portfolio tumble and then lag for the rest of their lives.
If only someone might be held accountable for the disappointment…
All that is an worldwide drawback, too.
Here in the UK, the FTSE 100 was at its 2001 degree just some months ago. However pity the Italians, who stay down greater than 50% from the yr 2000.
Then there's the Japanese, who are nowhere close to all-time inventory market highs reached in the 90s. A minimum of individuals there have largely given up on stocks as a retirement car.
Despite the authorities's greatest efforts…
Does the index still minimize it?
There are a number of extra things to factor into the inventory market index calculation, too. The corporations inside the indices have changed.
The ASX 200 and different indices show the successful corporations that received added to the indices.
Many laggards that buyers truly owned dropped out and disappeared from the index. However not from actual investment efficiency in your portfolios.
It appears to me like buybacks, financed by low interest rates, have pushed up prices to give a misleading image, too. Buybacks means buyers bought out, as an alternative of holding on during the positive factors those buybacks delivered.
Solely dividends are a saving grace. But not many inventory market punters targeted on these to start with.
I'm wondering how many individuals would've invested in the inventory market in any respect with the benefit of hindsight.
That's not a really helpful factor to ponder. Till you examine it to your outlook now.
Do you still consider in the stock market index? Do you anticipate shares to go up in the long, long, long run as an alternative of simply the long run? Are you prepared to attend that long? Or are you in search of one thing higher? Do you need to avoid being caught up in another disappointment like the previous 12 years?
Understanding the gold worth, for instance, would've served you nicely for the final 15 years. (That's since our founding publisher tipped it as the trade of the decade.)
Just one yr featured a big interruption of the upward development.
Source: Goldprice.org
Owning gold would've had the further advantage of avoiding Australia's financial planning business.
Actually, it seems to be to me like the financial planning business was a much bigger menace to Aussies' wealth than the inventory marketplace for the previous couple of years.
You've been shafted for decades
The Royal Commission added up the quantity of compensation paid up to now, before it discovered the huge skeletons in the banks' closets throughout its hearings:
'In 2012, ASIC entered right into a settlement settlement with CBA to make out there up to $136 million as compensation to CBA clients who had borrowed from the bank to take a position by means of Storm Monetary.
'CBA had already offered approximately $132 million to Storm Financial buyers beneath its resolution scheme.
'In 2013, ASIC intervened in a category motion introduced towards Macquarie Bank in respect of Storm Financial relating to the fairness of settlement arrangements. The Full Federal Courtroom held that the distribution of the settlement sum was not truthful and affordable to all group members and a revised settlement arrangement was made. Macquarie agreed to pay $82.5 million by means of compensation and prices.
'In 2014, ASIC made a settlement agreement with the Bank of Queensland. BOQ agreed to pay approximately $17 million as compensation for losses suffered on investments made through Storm Financial.'
But Storm was only one dangerous operator, proper? The overall high quality of monetary recommendation at Commonwealth Financial institution's Commonwealth Financial Planning wasn't a lot better:
'CBA paid more than $20 million in compensation to shoppers who had acquired inappropriate financial recommendation from two [Commonwealth Financial Planning] advisers […]
'It later turned obvious, nevertheless, that the misconduct prolonged past these two advisers and CBA subsequently carried out a second compensation program.
'In 2013, Australian media reported misconduct by monetary planners at CFPL, a scientific cowl up by management, and insufficient gives of compensation to complaining clients.
'In July 2014, CBA commenced the Open Advice Review Program. The program was open to those who had been customers of CFPL and Financial Wisdom between 1 September 2003 and 1 July 2012. The program has offered a total of $37.6 million in compensation to customers.'
I'm wondering how many clients have been still missed the fourth time round.
Then there was the 'fees for no service' scandal:
'At the moment, the complete amount paid and to be paid as compensation was estimated to be about $850 million – however the then Deputy Chair of ASIC stated that he "wouldn't at all be surprised if it ends up being in excess of a billion dollars".
'Proof given throughout the seventh round of hearings supported that prediction. By the time of those hearings:
'• the quantity that AMP anticipated to pay was $359.7 million, of a complete quantity of roughly $1 billion acquired by AMP in ongoing service fees in the 10 yr period between 2008 to 2017;
'• CBA had paid a complete of roughly $116 million in remediation for its "fees for no service" conduct; and
'• Westpac estimated that, for its salaried advisers, across both 2017 and 2018, $117 million would be paid.'
Even after demise, Aussie retirees aren't protected from the Australian monetary providers business:
'[In] June 2018, AMP made a breach notification to ASIC and APRA that, in brief, it had retained or not properly refunded premiums charged to members after their dying. That breach notification recognized three,124 members with a total of $922,902 in premium refunds owing.
'At 5 September 2018, AMP had recognized that 4,645 clients have been affected by this challenge, with $1.3 million in premium refunds owing.
'In the sixth round of hearings, AMP's Group Government for Wealth Solutions and Chief Customer Officer, Mr Paul Sainsbury, defined that AMP commenced an investigation into whether it had charged deceased members fees after notification of their demise following "Commonwealth Bank's circumstances around premiums [for] deceased members".
'Between them, AMP, ANZ, CBA, NAB and Westpac will pay customers of their advice licensees or their superannuation funds compensation totalling $850 million, or more, for taking money as payment for services that were not provided.'
Think about for a second what it signifies that all the banks have been caught doing this. They can't blame isolated mistakes in their IT methods. Though they tried.
Then there's my private favorite. Manipulating individuals's mortgage purposes to get them previous lending standards:
'As was noted in the Interim Report, even confining attention to home loans, about $239 million had been repaid to customers in respect of processing and administrative errors before the Commission began its inquiries.'
I anticipate the complete value of compensation paid for LAF manipulation must be in the a whole lot of billions. Enough to wipe out the Aussie banking system in one fell swoop. But no one believes me. Just as they didn't consider me in 2014…
Now, the worth of compensation paid to victims of Australian monetary advice in all probability simply scratches the surface of what the business truly acquired away with. All out of the savers' pockets. Selling insurance by means of super is another can of worms I gained't even get into.
All this is a long-winded means of claiming that Australian savers, buyers and retirees have been comprehensively shafted each which approach for decades now.
Are you still enjoying their games? Or would you like options?
You would choose out of risky stocks by investing in Aussie authorities bonds, for instance. Yields are at report lows, under 1.3%…
Savings at the bank aren't a lot better.
What are you going to do?
That's what we're making an attempt to figure out for you. To seek out the concepts and investment strategies that really work. For a hard and fast subscription payment.
No commissions, trailing or in any other case, and no management fees. You don't even give us the money to take a position for you, which suggests we don't generate counterparty danger.
That's how funding methods ought to work. And we're moderately proud to be totally different.

Home Business & Finance Distance Leadership in International Corporations: Why Organizations Struggle when Distances Grow
Psychological distance
Napier and Ferris (1993) build a broad foundation for subsequent research on leader-follower distance with a conceptual publication. The scientists refer to psychological distance as differences or similarities in characteristics such as age, race, socio-demographic variables, and perceived power distance. Research in all fields has shown that these are rather applied as control variables. Measuring sociodemographic differences is especially restricted as instrumental indicators of race or perceived power distance are missing. In addition, differences in age do not necessarily need to be associated with leader-subordinate distance (Avolio et al., 2004; Joshi et al., 2009). Popper (2013) claims that psychological distance is a subjective construct in which refers more to leaders' traits than to their behavior. Followers allocate organizational successes and failures largely to their leaders simply according to the information they have (Jaquart & Antonakis, under rev.).

DALLAS (CBS11) – Michael Hinojosa walked with ease through the glass doors that serve as the entrance to the Superintendent's office for Dallas Schools.
"I've been here before, so I know what I'm about to get into," he said with a slight chuckle.
At age 58, the Dallas ISD graduate, former teacher, coach, administrator, and former Superintendent of Schools will replace Mike Miles, who resigned last week.
School Board members voted unanimously to appoint Hinojosa as Interim Superintendent. Hinojosa returned to Dallas last year after leading the Cobb County School District in Atlanta.
He said Dallas ISD needs to have someone who understands the Texas public education system.
"There's not going to be a simple answer to a complex issue that this district has faced, and that's why I'm here, to calm things down, move good things forward", he said.
Under Hinojosa's leadership from 2005-11, Dallas ISD expanded Bilingual Education programs for the district's expanding Limited English population, and made pre-K education a district priority.
But he came under fire in 2008, when an $84 million dollar budget mistake was balanced on the elimination of hundreds of teaching positions.
Hinojosa survived the budget embarrassment, but announced his resignation three years later in 2011.
Would he come back on a permanent basis, with a school board's approval?
"I'm willing to stay as long as it takes, to be ready for the next leader, being me, probably not, whoever, but we'll let it play out. I'm not going to say no I won't take it, because I don't want to deceive anybody or mislead anybody."

text: ANAHEIM, Calif. Authentic Cassius Marsh Jersey . -- The Anaheim Ducks have re-signed forward Jakob Silfverberg to a one-year, $850,500 contract. The Ducks announced the deal with the restricted free agent on Friday. Silfverberg had 10 goals and 13 assists in 52 games during his first season with the Ducks, who acquired the two-way forward from Ottawa last summer in a trade for Bobby Ryan. After scoring four goals in his first four games with his new team, Silfverberg missed 24 games early in the season with a broken right hand. He added two goals in 13 post-season games for the Pacific Division champions. The 23-year-old Silfverberg also won a silver medal with Sweden at the Sochi Olympics last February. Forward Devante Smith-Pelly is the Ducks only unsigned restricted free agent. He led Anaheim with five post-season goals. Authentic Jeremiah Attaochu Jersey . On a hot, sweaty day, the Hall of Famer looked cool and comfortable. Authentic C.J. Beathard Jersey . Tristan Jackson returned a missed field goal 129 yards early in the fourth quarter as the Roughriders beat the B.C. http://www.cheap49ersjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-steve-young-jersey . The CFL unveiled its 2014 schedule Wednesday and the Redblacks will play their first-ever regular-season game in Winnipeg against the Blue Bombers on July 3.DAVIE, Fla. - Miami Dolphins starting centre Mike Pouncey practiced Tuesday for the first time since undergoing hip surgery back in July. Pouncey, who was selected to his first Pro Bowl last season, confirmed that he participated in every drill. But he is leaving it up to the team doctors to determine his status for Sundays home game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Sun Life Stadium. "I feel like I can play but its not my decision," Pouncey said. "I did everything today, just getting back in the groove and it felt good to be back out there with my football team. It feels normal and it just feels good to get back in a stance without it hurting again." The fourth-year pro had rehabbed all through training camp, the preseason and the first two weeks of the regular season. His progress was such that the team opted to keep him on the 53-man roster after the final cuts rather than place him on the Physically Unable to Perform list in hopes that he could return sooner. It appears that was a good decision. Coach Joe Philbin acknowledged the importance of getting Pouncey back on the practice fieeld again. Authentic Dwight Clark Jersey. "It was good to have him out there," said Philbin, who has been going with Samson Satele at centre in Pounceys absence. "He did some things and got up in his stance a couple of times, came off the ball a couple of times on the snap count so it was good to have him back. Were going to take it a day at a time. It was his first day out there and he looked good in what he was doing, so well see." Notes: Running back Lamar Miller also participated in full during the portion of practice that was open to the media, which was important after he was seen with an ankle boot after last Sundays loss in Buffalo. With Knowshon Moreno expected to miss at least a month with a dislocated elbow, it will be up to Miller, Daniel Thomas and rookies Damien Williams and Orleans Darkwa to pick up the slack. ... Tight end Charles Clay, right guard Shelley Smith and linebacker Koa Misi appeared to be limited at best during the portion of practice open to the media. Clay and Smith were riding the exercise bikes and Misi was standing off to the side.

If you've ever encounter those pop-up boxes which Appear just as you're about to leave a site, you've probably encountered Leadboxes.
This nifty box can either pop up mechanically or Be triggered by a state you place. The most popular affliction is arguably the 2-step opt-in in which a visitor has to click on a button for the pop-up box to look.
If done correctly, Leadboxes could increase engagement And result in more prospects for your business. As with all the landing pages, there is a drag-and-drop editor for Leadboxes to make it much easier for consumers to get up and running in minutes.

The reason for this one is construct a text list. So, instead of merely collecting email addresses, you can get folks on a list with their phone numbers. This might be incredibly valuable especially with the younger generation that's more likely to text than email.
Leadlinks are hyperlinks that you insert into your Broadcast emails by your email service provider.
When the recipient clicks on that link, they are Instantly enrolled. They won't be required to enter additional info. This is especially practical for webinar registration and so on.
After a quick registration process, you'll enter The dashboard and also be encouraged to create your very first effort. By default, you are taken to Leadpages where you are able to create a landing page. You can access the site's additional features throughout the navigation bar.

The best way to create a landing page depends on which Type of template you select (drag-and-drop or regular ).
Standard Templates
Standard templates are straightforward with little Room for alteration. You will be able to edit the text and replace the sample pictures but will not be able to move any of those elements around. You can opt to conceal any component you have no use for but users will need to do this with caution. Hiding elements can lead to apparently empty spaces.

You won't have the ability to save the mails you collect otherwise. Drip Acquired By Leadpages
Drag-and-Drop Templates
Drag-and-drop templates operate a bit differently. Right off the bat, you'll notice that you have additional options. The sidebar houses four buttons: widgets, page layout, page design, and page monitoring.
By dragging and dropping widgets into your landing Webpage, you're ready to add new components to edit. It's possible to add headlines, text, pictures, videos, buttons, and more. It's here where you'll encounter among Leadpages' most notorious kinks. The website's drag-and-drop functionality is faulty.
Putting elements where you need them can be a pain. For starters, you can only set them in areas the template allows you to. You will find grids where widgets could be added while some other places are off limits. Then there is the issue with precision. The widgets tend to snap into place. As is the case during our testing, they end up nowhere near its intended destination.
Editing the text and graphics, nevertheless, is a breeze. Click here on any placeholder text and then replace the existing one . You can resize and move elements around.
Page Layout lets you make changes to each part of your landing page. Here You can fine-tune the appearance of your page as you would through CSS only simpler.
For example, clicking on the Page Layout icons Shows you the different section the page has. With this template, there are two sections — the content body and the footer.
If you want to change the background, click on "Section Design" and make the necessary changes out of here.
Page Style lets you play with your font in Addition to add custom CSS for more Advanced users.
Page Tracking works exactly the exact same manner as in standard templates. Only this time, you Can integrate it using Facebook and Google Analytics.
You'll find All of Your stored landing pages in the dashboard. You can return and make more edits, rename the document, produce a split test (A/B testing), replicate the landing page, or have it deleted.
Split testing is only available for Guru and Advanced plan members.
Customer Services
Customer support does exist but priority is given To innovative subscribers. They have access to some 1-on-1 Quick Start Call as well as free virtual workshops. Those under the standard plan will have to make do with chat service (9 AM to 5 PM Central time during weekdays) or open a support ticket.
It is possible to publish your landing pages by themselves or under your domain name. However, publishing beneath a Subdomain can possibly turn off your audience. It's advisable to publish under your own domainname.
To do that, click on the user icon on the top-right Part of the screen to start the drop-down menu. Choose"Domains" to load the webpage at which you are able to join your own domain.
From here, Leadpages will guide you to the Procedure Of connecting your domainname.
The dynamic HTML options let you publish the Landing page on any website. But, there are means to incorporate the instrument in other CMS such as WordPress, Squarespace, and other popular content management systems.
Users may subscribe on a monthly, annual, or Two-year basis with all the two-year plan being the most cost effective provided you're in for the long haul. There are 3 tiers to choose from: standard, pro, and innovative.
At $25/month, Leadpages is cheap enough for startups and one-man showrunners. The benefits of being able to design and deploy landing pages for lead generation make up for the price. However $48/month could be a steep price to pay given the small perks that you unlock at the level. Unless you've got a true need for internet sales and payments and A/B testing, then you are better off using the most basic plan. It should also be enough to help you get more with your blog or website.
Leadlinks and Leaddigits will also be unavailable Unless you subscribe to the pro or innovative plan which is really a bummer.

Advantages and Disadvantages OF Selecting Leadpages
Honestly, there's a lot to like about Leadpages. However, the tool is far from ideal. Let us break down the pros and cons. Drip Acquired By Leadpages
Benefit #1: Easy-to-Use
For the average user, Leadpages will probably be more than Enough to meet your lead generation goals. In the end of the day, all you need is a presentable landing page that will wow your crowd. Leadpages is more than capable of getting the work done. It truly does not need any prior design or coding expertise.
Benefit #2: amount of accessible Templates
The absolute number of templates that are available would be More than sufficient to get you started on the right track. There's a template for virtually every circumstance. Options vary from webinar webpages, thank you pages, product launch webpages, checkout pages, and even 404 pages. Leadpages claim they've 160 free templates in their library.
Advantage #3: rapid and effortless integration
You can use Leadpages no matter what CMS you are using. It can encourage WordPress, Joomla, Squarespace, and more.
Benefit #4:: Leadboxes
The Majority of the Leadpages review was concentrated on The landing page builder however let's not forget that readers also get access to Leadboxes. There's no denying the fact that pop-up boxes are powerful and can lead to conversions that would otherwise be overlooked if not for Leadboxes.
Weak Spot #1: issues with the Landing Page Builder
The drag-and-drop functionality issues need to be addressed. Individuals who are very particular about their landing page designs can struggle with the tool's interface. The instrument can also slow down every now and then which can be troublesome especially for people that are looking for a tight deadline.
Weak spot #2: restricted customization in standard templates
Leadpages themselves promote users not use their standard templates. There's hardly any customization options. The lack of drag-and-drop attribute is inaccessible for standard templates. So even in case you do find a template worth using in their dated selections, you would be unable to customize them as you see fit.
Weak spot #3: A/B testing just for pro users and above
There is no denying the significance of A/B testing. It's the only real way to see that pages are working and which ones need refinement. Regrettably, standard users don't have any access to A/B testing and need to upgrade to a higher plan to generate use of this feature.
Leadpages is a Fantastic bargain for startups awarded the Reasonable $25 entrance point. If you need sleek, responsive landing pages fast and will help you better your conversion funnel and make more money, the tool will be capable of delivering exactly that. However, there are lots of alternatives out there which do pretty much the exact same thing. Maybe not on exactly the same level, but you do have options.
Large-scale companies are likely to possess in-house Solutions to developing landing pages to their lead generation campaigns. The $199/month advanced plan appears too steep of a price point for large corporations.
The Fantastic thing about Leadpages is that they have a No cost 14-day trial period so that you can check the tool out for yourself (even though you Do need to provide your credit card info ). While Leadpages does have its Merits, the abundance of landing page alternatives out from the market combined with That the quirks of Leadpages' builder tool makes it hard to recommend.

A new language for a story I've been thinking of doing for some time. The things that started it off are
names: at one stage in life the character's name is Allie, then she changes gender and becomes known
as Alan. It's serial hermaphroditism a la the sea bass and other fish in a human context and I've decided
that it's marked by a change of name, mostly by changing the ultimate and penultimate syllables of the
name. I still haven't decided whether or not the verbal form and usage changes, and if so how, but ...

I experience how important clear messages are in any form of communication. Direct messages informing what I want and need (needs, interests, and positions) and listening to what the other person wants and needs is crucial. Clear expectations shared by both parties that can be accomplished by setting up the clear boundaries at the beginning of a conversation (time, place, focused topics) can prevent any possible miscommunication and misunderstanding that can occur. Lastly, understanding what the context is and where they stand in the context is another important aspect of communication factors.
The following are some of the examples of unhealthy communication killers with which mutual understanding can be hardly fostered: Shutting down, dismissing the other person verbally and nonverbally, not listening to what the other person wants and needs (ignoring/not responding to them at all/redirecting the other person to my own agendas), sharing unwanted advice, dominating the talk by appealing my point of view to the other person, and so on.
Communication flexibility seems to be the most valuable quality that a workplace communicator can develop in order to become more competent in diverse communicational situations with communicators with new communication styles.

After spending much of his adult life in America, visual artist Ima Mfon began to feel self-conscious about his blackness. Increasingly, he found himself in situations where he was either the only black person or treated differently because of the pigment of his skin.
"In my project Nigerian Identity, I attempt to call out that human tendency to see people for just their skin colour, but in the process, I also accentuate the skin and its textures as a way of celebrating the beauty of black skin. I shoot on a plain white background to eliminate any context that is usually associated with photographs of Africans. People hear 'Nigerian photography' or 'African photography' and automatically expect to see certain scenes, but I want viewers of my work to focus on the actual people in the images," Iman explains.
Living in cities like Lagos ad New York influence identity differently; while there's structure and order in the Western art world there's less rigidity and more freedom in Lagos. Ima's take on Nigerian identity is that it's journey, not a specific fact or piece of information. Nigerians are all connected by their shared history and experiences. As a nation, they've been through a lot but they stand with their heads held high, regardless of what the world may say about them.
In his Nigerian Identity series, Ima wants viewers to connect with the people photographed and consider what it's like to be 'the other'. "These images are emotional, there's a story in everyone's eyes," he says. "Above all else, it's a reminder that the culture and identity of a people should always be appreciated, respected and honoured."

Swede great, Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed off his acrobatic side once again with a stunning bicycle kick, but it was not enough to stop his Major League Soccer (MLS) side, LA Galaxy losing 2-1 to the New England Revolution.
Concise News reports that a long throw into the box was knocked to the 37-year-old by Joe Corona, with the former Manchester United man taking a couple of touches before finding the net with an impressive strike.
But the 84th-minute goal – his 11th of the season – was too late as New England held on to remain undefeated in four MLS games.
Cristian Penilla had opened the scoring just before half-time as his fierce shot crept through the hands of 'keeper David Bingham. New England's lead was doubled on the hour mark when Teal Bunbury slotted into the net after being put through by Carles Gil.
Ibrahimovic's goal was the pick of the bunch at the Dignity Health Sports Complex but LA Galaxy could not make their late pressure count.
The striker was not in the best mood following the game, and when asked how, at the age of 37, he was still able to produce such acrobatics, he says: "Maybe I should stop. Maybe this is a message for me to stop.
"[The result is] very disappointing and very irritating also because it was not a difficult game and I think everyone was under-performing. When you play like that, it is difficult to come out and get what we want. We didn't utilise the chances we had and they got chances and goals… We should have won. No excuses today."
Watch goal below:
