29 October 2013 – The United Nations in Cyprus today refuted media reports that allege Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Special Adviser for Cyprus Alexander Downer interfered in the involvement of the European Commission in the peace process. "The United Nations in Cyprus considers the dissemination of incorrect information particularly unhelpful at this stage of the talks," a UN spokesperson said in a statement, which calls the resulting speculation an "unwelcome distraction." The allegations in local Cypriot media appear to centre around a purported letter from Mr. Downer to European Commission President, José Manuel Barroso. The UN in Cyprus has denied the allegations and reiterated its commitment to assisting both parties in finding a lasting political solution to end the division of the island.
The UN-facilitated talks began in 2008 with the aim of eventually setting up a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, with Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot constituent states of equal status.
In today's statement, the UN welcomed the continuing participation of the EU in the Cyprus peace talks.
Over the past four years, the UN in Cyprus has benefited from the regular presence of a Personal Representative of the European Commission President, appointed by Mr. Barroso to assist the Special Adviser of the Secretary-General in Cyprus and his team, according to the spokesperson.
The current Personal Representative of Mr. Barroso is Pieter Van Nuffel of the European Commission's legal service.

OCTAVE proudly presents the latest evolution of the successful and enduring RE 280 stereo amplifier. The company's traditional stereo amplifier design has been produced since 1990, having been updated and improved continuously over the years. This progressive development has brought forth an even further improved variant in the form of the new RE 290 power amplifier – an ideal companion for any and all modern high-performance loudspeakers.
The RE 290 based on the stable and reliable electronic circuits of the RE 280 MKII model, while incorporating the benefits of the recently-developed KT120 power tube. The KT120 allows an output power of more than 100 W via two tubes in push-pull mode, while its current capacity is higher compared to the classic KT88 tube designs. Increased stability with difficult, low impedance speakers is achieved through the increased bandwidth and OCTAVE's specially designed output transformers. Lifelike reproduction of even the most complex orchestral passages in the own home is now possible.
The power bandwidth of the RE 290 ranges from 5 Hz to 85 kHz. The noise level (100μV =-110dB) is so low that even with high efficiency speakers there is no audible hum or noise. The power supply functions are controlled by the exclusive OCTAVE power management circuitry. In combination with the highest quality components manufactured in Europe, this results in a finer-sounding and more stable performance over the entire lifetime of the RE 290 (over 15 years expectancy).
A certain charm of tube amplifiers is the ability to explore the sonic properties of different tube types. Whether rare NOS models or new tubes such as the KT120, the OCTAVE RE 290 allows the use of various pin-compatible output tubes. In order to allow optimal operation of a diverse range of output tubes of different power classes, a switching circuit is included on the rear panel of the amp. The bias of the output tubes can be fine-tuned in three steps. Other features enhancing ease of use and operation include the ECOmode, the optional connection for the external Black Box or Super Black Box capacitance upgrade modules, as well as switchable RCA and XLR inputs.
Black Box Connector
OCTAVE, with the Black Box technology, offers an upgrade path for optimizing the OCTAVE amplifier in respect to the speaker. This flexibility is a unique feature of the OCTAVE brand.
The dynamic and tonal stability of an amplifier is strongly dependent upon the stability and capacity of the power supply, therefore the Black Box and Super Black Box were developed as external upgrades to the OCTAVE amplifiers' power supply storage capacitors by increasing their capacitance by a factor of 4 (Black Box) or 10 (Super Black Box), respectively. This is a tremendous benefit if the speaker is difficult to drive. Loudspeaker efficiency is made less critical, while the amplifier is enabled to handle speakers with extremely low minimum impedances.
BIAS Adjustment
The Output stage of the RE 290 operates in Class A/B, and therefore requires an adjustable BIAS regulation. The highly sophisticated yet extremely simple yet accurate BIAS calibration system is accessed on the front panel of the unit. It utilizes external precision bias trim pots and LED confirmation, allowing the user to readily monitor the output tubes and simply correct their bias individually at the top panel – without the need of a micrometer let alone any special knowledge or tools.
The correct BIAS is vital for the constant sound quality of the RE 290. Due to this facility there is no need for a technician to service the RE 290 for changing or tubes or to check their condition. The precision of this user friendly system is within 0.5% accuracy.
Power Management and Protection System
The RE 290 is equipped with a multi-stage Soft-Start/Turn-On protection circuit which extends component as well as tube life considerably by protecting against stress caused by typical high inrush currents during switch-on. The unit starts in a defined sequence, with the Protection System monitoring the RE 290 completely, and activated whenever a malfunction is detected. Once the Protection is activated, the RE 290 is powered down.

Google Plus offers authors, personal brands and content creators an incredible opportunity to boost their visibility across Google's entire network of websites. By optimizing your profile, you will put yourself in a better position to be discovered by your target audience, even if they are not using Google+ for social networking.
Why is this? Because Google Plus posts are indexed in search, as is your profile. Other social networks let people within that same network find you…on Google+, the entire Internet can find you! Think about how that could open up you and your brand to new opportunities.
"How to Optimize your Google+ Profile"
If you do a search for this phrase you will undoubtedly come across articles that tell you to use keywords and links in your About section. This post is no different. Utilize your About section (and your hovercard) to tell the story about who you are, and why people should start following you.
Link to your various websites and social profiles, set up Authorship for the blogs to which you contribute, and of course, add a professional cover photo and profile picture.
But let's go a little further…did you know you can optimize your cover photo too? Check out this excellent deck compiled by +Michael Bennett of my tips for Google+ cover photo design and SEO for your Google+ cover photo.
Now let's go one step further still. Let's say you do all the basic optimization above, and even optimize your cover photo; are people going to actually find you? Chances are, the answer is no. They aren't going to find you, they are going to find your content…and by doing so, they will find you.
Optimizing your Google+ Footprint for Semantic Search
So, to optimize your Google+ Profile also means optimizing the content you put on Google+. If you look at your profile as a complete product, all your Photos (the ones you share), the About tab and your Posts stream come together into an entity that stands for something. That something is you on Google+, and you want to stand for certain keywords or topics so Google considers you an authority on those topics.
This is the first step toward utilizing Semantic Search techniques, which author and semantic search expert, David Amerland, describes as essentially being able to extract the meaning of a search and deliver the best answer, not a list of choices. This is heavily paraphrased, but in this video, An Introduction to Semantic Search, you can get a better sense of what David is talking about. I'll expand on the video below…
According to Amerland, semantic search is as different from Boolean search as apples are from oranges. The transition to a more accurate semantic search marks a transition on the web that results in more direct answers to queries right on the search page, instead of having to go through each link.
Amerland states that when it comes to SEO, things like keywords, link building and content writing on a website, are now secondary to how a website is perceived. Content sharing through social networks, and the trustworthiness of the people sharing, creates a social signal that Google uses to understand what the website does, how good it is and whether it should be ranked in its search queries.
Is this starting to get a little too complex? Look at it this way: everything you do on Google+ tells Google about who you are, so it can match you with people looking for things you know a lot about.
This activity goes beyond Google+ the social site, and into its other properties such as YouTube, Gmail, the Google Play store, and others. In the end, if you care about marketing, you will want to rank highly for phrases on which you are an authority, right? Being cognizant about how you publish content on Google properties will help strengthen that correlation with those phrases, to the point where Google will consider you an expert and push your content higher in search results for those topics.
There's more to it than this, which is why I'd recommend picking up David's book, Google Semantic Search (non-affiliate link) if you're serious about optimization and semantic search. For the purposes of this article, though, just take this away with you: weave a common thread through your posts, your profile, and your activities on Google+, and you will be optimizing your profile for the long-term.
**UPDATE:** I've read and reviewed Amerland's book, and offered a take on what businesses can do to prepare themselves for semantic search.

A Student's Perspective on Education can Be Presented in an Education Essay
An essay on education is an important essay to write as it shows students the importance of education. It also allows students to express their perspective of the process of education, value of it and various other associated aspects. Education is something which every person should have. Without a good education, life for all concerned will be a difficult journey. Students can explore many ways in which they can write an education essay.
Types of Education
As the subject of education falls on to a broad scope, students will have to narrow their topic down to one specific section of education. This will help students in managing the essay writing easily. There are different types of education from primary to university level and special education for disabled or mentally challenged children. There is also the option of adult education as well as vocational education. Education is a process through which people are imparted with knowledge in a systematic fashion. There is now a new option of online education and distance learning, which is facilitated by the web. All these types of education can be discussed within an education essay written on this subject.
Right to Education
Many children in countries around the world do not have proper education. This is mostly apparent in third world countries. The lack of funds to educate one's children means that they grow up illiterate and lacking. Most children in third world countries are put to work when they are of a certain age. Parents would rather see their children working and brining in money for food and other essential items than educate them. This is a sad situation. However, there are programs around the world that do their best to educate the adults on the importance of education for their children. An essay on "Why the poor should focus on educating their children to break away from the vicious circle of poverty" is an example of a persuasive essay topic suited for an education essay.
Benefits of Education
Students, who are assigned this essay for their coursework writing, can inform others on the many benefits of education. Everyone studies in order to further themselves in life. They do so to be assured of comforts that they would otherwise be unable to attain. The respect one gets from others when they learn how educated one is, and the ability to converse coherently and interestingly with others are some of the benefits of education. All this and more can be considered and included when writing the essay in this manner.
Online Education
The internet has made life very easy for all. Anything and everything can be obtained through the internet. This aspect facilitates the education field as well. Through the internet, a person who was unable to attend college can apply and receive the coursework necessary to qualify for the degree or diploma. Through the internet a person will be able to correspond with relevant authorities and further their education even more. All this can be done in the comfort of one's home. Distant learning options have opened up the chances of foreign education to students world over at a cheaper cost than the conventional option of becoming a foreign student.
The education essay is not something which will send you to the nearest coursework writing company to buy coursework. If handled well, students will be able to submit an essay written properly all on their own. However, students who find this task challenging, will be benefited by obtaining assistance from coursework-writing.co.uk. Any type of coursework you need from English coursework to biology coursework can be ordered from our reputed company.

I've recently gotten much more into podcasts, which I previously didn't really have much time for, nor interest in. Now that we've moved to the East Bay, and I'm still working downtown SF, my commute has increased from 20 minutes one-way on my bike to a half-hour-plus on a bus or BART or both, plus some walking on both ends. Staring out the bus or BART windows gets a little old, so I started downloading podcasts in iTunes, in order to have something to watch or listen to on the ride.
Here are my current favorites:
On the Media
OTM has long been one of my two favorite radio shows, and I've always been in the habit of downloading their weekly episodes if I'm somehow forced to miss the 2pm Sunday broadcast on KQED, or sometimes if I simply want to listen to it a second time. Having it regularly update each week on my iPhone is great, because now I'm never in danger of missing a week.
More about One The Media's podcast
This American Life
I tried the "This American Life" iPhone app but it kinda sucks for listening on the go, or in a building with poor cellphone reception or lousy wifi, as the shows on the app are streamed, in which case you need a live connection the whole time. This is ridiculous for commuters; I can't get a signal in a BART train under the Bay, fercryinoutloud! Why did they make it that way? So I just download the old-fashioned podcast each week instead.

The Adam Carolla Show
I love Adam and miss his humor since he left "Love Line," so I was glad to learn he had a podcast. His episodes are daily (I think), so I've been consuming them like candy, catching up on a backlog of prior months.
More about The Adam Carolla Show
"InfoMania" is the one video podcast I've been regularly watching. My pal Jenny turned me on to "InfoMania" a couple years ago, and I only watched it a couple times back then even though I liked it. But we didn't have cable ("InfoMania" is a show on the _current cable network), and as I mentioned, I never paid that much attention to podcasts before recently. Now I'm a big fan of "InfoMania" and it's been keeping me grinning and smirking on many a bus ride. It's kind of a younger version of "On the Media."

Age 36
Location Kent
Starsign Capricorn
Introduce us to your blog… www.curvywordy.com
I started writing my blog on 30th September 2011 and my aim was to share my experiences of trying to find lingerie, clothing and footwear to fit my extreme hourglass figure.
What made you decide to start blogging?
I wanted to share my experiences of shopping for my extreme hourglass figure in the hope that it might help others with similar proportions to me.
What's your biggest achievement in the blogosphere?
Gosh, that's a tough one. I am so proud of many things: meeting Gok Wan, reaching over 350,000 page views, having over 1,000 Twitter followers, making a ton of lovely new friends through blogging… I don't think I could pick just one as a highlight as it's all been such a wonderful experience. Long may it continue!
Where do you look for inspiration when writing posts?
I don't need to look for inspiration for my posts. I tend to write reviews of items rather than style pieces so it's quite straightforward: does it fit or not?!
Is blogging your day job or do you have another occupation?
Blogging is not my day job but I would love it if somehow it could be!
Any favourite blogs/bloggers?
I adore Fuller Figure Fuller Bust. Georgina has such a great sense of style and to top it off she is a lovely person in real life. I feel so fortunate to be able to count her as a close friend.
Tell us about your style…
I tend to dress fairly smartly and go for classic pieces that I can easily dress up or down. Stretch jersey is my friend as it means I can size down to fit my waist but the garment will still fit my bust/hips.
What's the one piece in your wardrobe you couldn't live without?
My lingerie! I love my Ewa Michalak bras – they are simply amazing and give my 30KK breasts the most wonderful shape, support and uplift.
Who are your style icons?
I don't really have any style icons and tend to follow my own lead regarding how I dress.
Share a style tip with us…
Never be afraid to try things on when shopping. Even if you think it won't suit you, give it a try as you might be pleasantly surprised.
How would you describe our style?
I love M&Co. There is something for everyone, from young fashionistas to more mature ladies. I often visit M&Co with my mum and it's one of those rare places where we can both find things we like. I am also very impressed with your plus sized range as this is an area that often gets overlooked by retailers.
What's your favourite piece from our current collections?
It's impossible to pick just two but I do love a polka dot so these are my firm favourites at the moment:
Do you prefer to shop online or in-store and why?
I like both. Unfortunately I don't live particularly close to an M&Co store so I often have to shop online instead but I do like to be able to spend time browsing in-store when I can. Online shopping is so convenient though – there's something wonderful about buying a pretty dress at 11pm from the comfort of your sofa!
The one trend you'll be wearing this season is…
I don't follow trends I am afraid. But I will be wearing my beloved polka dots as well as hopefully expanding my wardrobe of bodycon dresses.

Global Message
Video Introduction to the Premiere ABC4All / Jazz For Peace FUNdraising Concert 4/27/11!
This is an unrehearsed, spontaneously created, Video with the participation of David Gray, President, Huck-Fin Environmental Education (HFEE), http://trunity.net/hfee/ and behind the camera, Burton Danet, Co-Founder, ABC4All.
In this video, there is offered one man's (Dave's) opinion, but the video content essentially reflects, as stated in Dave's words, "The Truth."
Thus the world's population can be aware that advanced technology for water exists that can save lives. As people learn about this technology, their support for facilitating what is necessary to bring the technology to market and to be able to contribute to potentially life-saving actions, then those that do cooperate will have engaged in Mandated Action for What The World Needs Now: http://abc4all.net/wtwnn.htm.
On the other hand, those who fail to lend support to facilitate what is needed in any community in the world to "improve health maintenance" of local citizens and potentially save lives, and despite knowing about this information fail to act in a supportive manner which helps make available such potentially life-saving technology to the world, will be knowingly or unknowingly, effectively contributing to the perpetual and ongoing needless suffering and death of people across the world dying from lack of adequate water or, worse, from consuming polluted water which may be the only water available. As people all over the world continue to ignore those dying at any given moment, the death toll continues to mount.
Without any claims being made, the technology for Plasma Activated Water (PAW), as Dave states, can be referenced as follows: "PAW is not a promise. It is a blessing." http://kindrop.abc4all.net
The Jazz For Peace Foundation and The Foundation For A Better Community For All (FABC) are in a position to consider mutual cooperation that will lead to Global Humanitarian Relief (GHR) in the world for anyone alive who is receptive, all the while potentially healing dynamic jazz music by JFP is shared with audiences attending ABC4All/JFP FUNdraising Concerts across the world.
Therefore with this proposed plan to save lives worldwide we appreciate all support and cooperation that can emerge from anywhere on the planet:
ABC4All has been generating humanitarian caring, like a loving parent cares for a child, for 13 years and 2 months. The time has come now, after the Launch of the ABC4All FOREVER Campaign for Global Humanitarian Relief (FCGHR) on 04/27/11 via the Premiere ABC4All / Jazz for Peace FUNdraising Concert, that there be offered a clear statement for the world's people to have within their awareness, that it is possible to enter into Mandated Action for What The World Needs Now, and failure to do so will effectively contribute to further unnecessary deaths. http://abc4all.net/wtwnn.htm
The world's population can be aware that IT IS POSSIBLE FOR EXISTING ONGOING, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, NEEDLESS SUFFERING AND DEATH TO BE BROUGHT TO A HALT, with proper support from every corner of the planet.
ABC4All shares. ABC4All Cares. YOU decide.™

I received this question via email this week from a lady Laser sailor we will call SUER. She wants suggestions for a single-handed boat to replace her Laser...
I'm 70, and I can't get around my Laser in the allotted time anymore. Getting to the other side of the boat when tacking, in some wind, is difficult on a knee that doesn't bend well. Also just general flexibility is not as good as ten years ago. So where I sit is important. Changing of my weight can't depend on my springing up and shifting to the other side.
I'm a lake sailor.
I love to go fast, heel and bring water in the boat.
The Sunfish is a lovely boat, but it doesn't have enough deck space for lots of heeling and hiking out.
Any suggestions for an easy rigging replacement boat? Just to explain what I mean by "easy rigging." I rig my Laser at start of summer, it stays on a mooring. I step the mast once from the dock. It stays up. I wrap the sail around the mast after a sail, bungie it and leave it.
It must be a single hander, but a little less frisky than a Laser would be prudent.
I really don't know what to suggest for SUER.
My immediate reaction of course, given my current obsession with the RS Aero, was to suggest the RS Aero. But I don't think it would be right for her. If anything it's more "frisky" or "twitchy" than a Laser. I like that. It forces me to have quicker reactions and to be more agile - which are good things until the day when my body decides they aren't any more.
But perhaps an RS Aero with a 5 rig (the smallest rig) might suit SUER? I received another email this week from a sailor who is quite a bit older than SUER who said that sailing his RS Aero 5 was like being in heaven.
Or how about a small catamaran like a Hobie Wave? Catamarans tack much more slowly than dinghies. That can be frustrating, but for someone who needs a bit of time to cross the boat it might be a benefit.
But what do I know?
Can you help SUER?
Please leave all suggestions in the comments.

Sweet William The Hare – Original Art Unframed
Sweet William the Hare is an original pastel and pen creation by artist and designer Anna Danielle. Taking up the soft pastels again after a twenty year sabbatical, Anna has returned to an artwork style that she finds incredibly peaceful. Working on pastel paper, each drawing takes an average of six to ten hours to complete. More often than not, a drawing will be flowing nicely for the first few hours, showing great promise. However, an hour later all can go disastrously wrong and what was at first exciting swiftly becomes overworked and ends up in the bin.
Hounds, Hares & Hens Exhibition December 2018
This exhibition came about by a chance opportunity to lease a small shop unit for two months in the run-up to Christmas. Based in a local shopping centre in a suburb of Derby, (Anna's hometown) it was the spark of motivation she needed to create something simply for the love and joy of drawing. A personal challenge that had been on her studio blackboard for at least two years. Time, Christmas, work and family commitments all did their best to derail her. A harsher critic would say she failed, having only managed 1/3 of her chosen subject matter. Anna tiptoed around the failure and discovered that by moving the finishing line to February 2019, the exhibition has become an online, ongoing, ever-evolving one and she can't wait to get started on the hens and hounds. In the meantime, do feel free to enjoy her hares!

Thursday after Ad te levavi, The First Sunday in Advent
Scripture: Genesis 49:1-28 (NKJV)
1 And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days: 2 Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father. 3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. 4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father's bed; Then you defiled it—he went up to my couch. 5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; Instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place. 6 Let not my soul enter their council; Let not my honor be united to their assembly; For in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hamstrung an ox. 7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. 8 Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father's children shall bow down before you. 9 Judah is a lion's whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him? 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. 11 Binding his donkey to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes. 12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. 13 Zebulun shall dwell by the haven of the sea; He shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall adjoin Sidon. 14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens; 15 He saw that rest was good, and that the land was pleasant; He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a band of slaves. 16 Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. 17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider shall fall backward. 18 I have waited for your salvation, O LORD! 19 Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him, but he shall triumph at last. 20 Bread from Asher shall be rich, and he shall yield royal dainties. 21 Naphtali is a deer let loose; He uses beautiful words. 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall. 23 The archers have bitterly grieved him, Shot at him and hated him. 24 But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel), 25 by the God of your father who will help you, and by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. 26 The blessings of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers. 27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil." 28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing.
After reading today's account from Genesis, you may wonder, "What does this mean for me? What am I to learn?" Jacob was on his deathbed when these words were spoken. Jacob knew the peril facing his sons. At that time, they were living comfortably in the land of Egypt. They could have easily lost sight of who they were as God's people in favor of temporal comforts. The fulfillment of God's promises would not be found in the land of Egypt. Jacob's sons needed to look ahead to the time they would return to the land promised to their forefathers.
As Christians, we must understand that though we live in the present, we are to live our lives in anticipation of our future with Christ at the resurrection. As we know, this is much easier said than done. It is not easy to live in anticipation of the future when trials and tribulations come our way. But, as with the sons of Jacob, it can be even more difficult to live in anticipation of the future when our lives are comfortable.
The assurance we have as Christians is knowing that no matter how our lives are going, whether there be trials or good times, God is working for our good. As St. Paul wrote: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Those whom He has called have nothing to fear. Though there may be temporal consequences to our actions we are assured that nothing will separate us from the love God has for us in Christ.
In all time of tribulation, in all time of our prosperity, help us, good Lord. Amen.

Holocaust and Genocide Studies
The minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies provides a broad interdisciplinary study
of the Holocaust and other genocides of the 20th and 21st centuries. Students wishing
to pursue graduate study in Holocaust and Genocide Studies can apply for direct entry
into the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the Genocide Prevention
Certificate programs and are encouraged to take up to two graduate courses through
the Graduate Course Access form.
Studies about the Holocaust and other genocides address a central tenet of education: What does it mean to be a responsible citizen in a democratic society? Such study can help students realize that:
- The genocide of the Jews during World War II and the Nazi Era was a "watershed event"
in human history.
- Democratic institutions and values are not automatically sustained but need to be
appreciated, nurtured, and protected.
- Silence and indifference to the suffering of others, or to the infringement of human and civil rights in any society—however unintentionally—serves to perpetrate the problems.
- Genocides are not "accidents" in history— genocides occur because individuals, organizations and governments make choices that not only legalize discrimination but allow prejudice,hatred and ultimately mass murder to occur.
In view of the mandate by the State of New Jersey requiring the study of Holocaust and genocide-related issues as part of school curricula, some of the courses in the minor may be attractive to students who are pursuing a major and who also may eventually want to obtain certification in education. The Holocaust and genocide minor provides a good preparation for Stockton undergraduate students who plan, after graduation, to enroll in the University's Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies (MAHG) program.
Program Organization
Completion of the minor requires a minimum of twenty credits in courses related to
the minor. A range of relevant classes is offered under both General Studies and program
acronyms. These undergraduate courses provide the opportunity for a broad overall
investigation of Holocaust and Genocide Studies as well as an in-depth consideration
of specific issues related to these areas.
Courses relevant to the minor are offered every semester and are open to any student at Stockton, and on a space-available basis, to non-matriculated students. Every formal course in the minor carries four credits. Independent study courses may also be carried out with faculty members who teach in the minor. However, no more than one independent study course may be used toward meeting the requirements of the minor and that independent study course cannot be one of the three required courses.
Requirements for Completion of the Minor
There are no special requirements for admission into the program. There are no special minimum grade requirements beyond those required by the University for graduation. While there are no special requirements for admission into the minor, students must take and pass a minimum of 20 credits—five courses, each of which is four credits—related to the minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, including two (2) required courses: GSS 2240, The Holocaust and GAH 2114, Perspectives on Genocide. A minimum of three (3) additional courses in Holocaust and Genocide Studies beyond the two (2) required courses must be completed. These should be selected from the list of courses provided below.
Special Opportunities
Undergraduates studying for the minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies are eligible to apply to The Richard Stockton University Foundation for special undergraduate scholarships and book awards specifically designated for students interested in the study of the Holocaust. These include the George Greenman Memorial Scholarship, the Marsha Grossman Scholarship, the Chipkin Memorial Scholarship and the Koopman-van de Kar Scholarship.
A regional Holocaust Resource Center, co-sponsored by the University and the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, is housed in the Stockton University Library. Opened in 1990, the Center serves as a focal point for the study of the Holocaust and other genocides. The Center houses artifacts and oral histories, in addition to many books, videos and other resources. Students are able to serve an internship for academic credit at the Holocaust Resource Center. The Center is easily accessible. Its trained and experienced staff is available to provide guidance.
Stockton has very strong library and media collections in the area of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, augmented by a recent substantial grant for the further development of our print, media and audio-visual holdings.
The Ida E. King Distinguished Visiting Scholar in Holocaust and Genocide Studies brings to Stockton on a rotating basis, for one or two semesters each year, scholars of international renown to teach about the Holocaust and other genocides and to pursue scholarly work in their field.
Faculty who teach in the area of Holocaust and Genocide Studies come from a variety
of disciplines and from various schools of the University. In addition, several half-time
faculty members hold appointments in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. In addition to
the Undergraduate Minor in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Stockton also offers a
Master of Arts degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
Opportunities for relevant overseas study are available through Stockton's Coordinator of International Education. Stockton students may also undertake credit-bearing study visits (combined with subsequent independent studies) during the winter break or in the summer. Scholarships to help defray part of the cost of such study are often available.

Many youth sports programs today are run by a group of volunteers who dedicate an enormous amount of time to the league. Volunteer administrators take on a variety of duties - from being the President of the league, to sitting on the Board of Directors in positions like treasurer, equipment manager or fundraising/sponsorship coordinator, just to name a few.
Volunteers administrators are often parents with a child in the league. Many have little or no formal training in the administration of youth sports. Also, these volunteers may also be personally liable for the actions of the program. For all of the above reasons, NAYS developed the National Youth Sports Administrators Association (NYSAA) to specifically provide education and liability protection for individuals who volunteer to be part of a league's leadership team.
NYSAA is a membership organization of volunteers responsible for the planning and implementation of out-of-school sports programs. The program provides training, information, and resources for volunteer administrators such as league presidents, boards, commissions and representatives. The NYSAA program works to help administrators set and maintain high standards for their youth league for the benefit of all involved, especially the children in their care.
How It Works
Youth sports administrators participate in the interactive NYSAA Online Clinic, successfully complete each of eight section quizzes and sign the NYSAA Code of Ethics Pledge. The clinic topics address issues that administrators face every day, including:
The NYSAA Online Clinic typically takes around 3-5 hours to complete in its entirety but can be completed at any pace due to the ability to sign in and out of the program.
Clinic Format
You can choose to complete the eight sections in any order you prefer, as well as at your own pace. Once you complete a section, a green check mark (see the sample on the right) will appear on the main menu next to that section's title. In addition, each section is broken down into chapters, which are designated by bold headers announcing the beginning of new subject matter. You'll also see the chapter headings on the left-hand side of the menu bar for that particular section you are going through. Each of the sections has text, written in an easy-to-follow format, as well as the following:
Video clips: These feature insights from top experts in their field. You can click on the video link to listen to their thoughts; and the interview transcription is also provided below each clip if you prefer reading what they had to say or have a slow internet connection.
Navigation buttons: At the end of each chapter you'll have a "Next" button to click to advance to the next chapter. You'll also see a "Back" button if you would like to return to some previous material. These buttons are the only way to get from chapter to chapter once inside a section.
Tips: You'll see these indicated by the icon on the left. These tips are which are valuable bits of information that can save you time, ease frustration levels and increase your effectiveness as a youth sports administrator.
Learning Points: At the end of each chapter you'll come across a Learning Point. These represent an important piece of information we hope you'll take away from going through that particular subject.
Supplemental Reading: This is additional reading material provided if you are interested in learning more about a particular subject.
Section Quiz: At the conclusion of each section is a five-question quiz with both True and False and multiple choice questions. Click on the answers you think are correct and when finished hit the "Submit" button. If you correctly answer all questions you have successfully completed that section of the course. If you answered any incorrectly you'll be asked to attempt those questions again. Once you have successfully completed a section you'll see a green check mark in the box next to that section on the left-hand menu bar of your main log in page.
Once you have successfully completed all eight sections you have passed the course and become an NYSAA member.
Membership Benefits
The clinic and membership fee is $45 and is due upon registration of the NYSAA Online Clinic. Membership is valid for one year beginning upon full completion of the NYSAA Online Clinic. NYSAA members receive:
Administrators receive a membership renewal notice each year. To continue NYSAA membership, the member must re-sign the NYSAA Code of Ethics Pledge and remit a $15 renewal fee. There are no additional training clinics to complete. Administrators who renew their membership with the NYSAA continue to receive all benefits listed above. An updated NYSAA membership card will be mailed.
NYSAA Insurance
Volunteers may be personally liable for the actions of the organization including any incidents that occur during play. Insurance is a proactive step to financially protect volunteer administrators. NYSAA members are covered for General Liability while acting in their capacity as administrators in youth sports activities if they become legally obligated to pay for claims arising out of bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury. NYSAA members are also covered for Directors & Officers Liability which covers league administrators while acting in their capacity as administrators in youth sports activities if they become legally obligated to pay for claims arising out of wrongful acts in the running of the league or team, employment practices, person injury or publishers liability. Examples of potentially covered lawsuits include: Discrimination (age, race, sex, handicap); Failure to enforce rules or bylaws; Failure to deliver services; Violation of State and Federal Laws (Anti Trust, IRS, EEOC); Suppression of First Amendment Rights (speech, expression, etc.); Failure to properly manage league financial affairs. The coverage limit is $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $2,000,000 general aggregate (total limit). There is a sublimit for abuse and molestation claims of $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $1,000,000 general aggregate (total limit). General Liability coverage and Directors & Officers coverage both include defense.

Latest News
Sitting in a tree
One thing that's remained popular with kids since I was a kid is that taunting song about so and so sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g. You know the one that proclaims, "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage." At least it teaches something of value I guess. Apparently playground songs have longevity, and I'm noticing in stores lately that acid washed jeans do, too. Who'd have thunk it?
During the car ride home from school, I have heard my kids and some of their neighbor friends (also siblings) taunt each other with this aggravating song that I once sang along to during double dutch. I have time and time again asked them to, "Please, stop", but apparently this song doesn't go away. A few other things straight out of my childhood that I have noticed retaining popularity amongst siblings are: Elementary banter about boyfriends and girlfriends, the battle of top potty talker, incessant tattling on one another, never ending competitions in every subject under the sun, and arguing. Oh, the arguing...pick, pick, pick, pick, pick.
There's only so much nagging a parent can do to put a temporary halt to these things once they get fired up. Not all things are meant for time outs, grounding, and revocation of privileges. I believe a little sibling rivalry is good for the lifeblood of a family. When my parents, siblings, and I gather with our spouses in tow (which is rare these days) the stories of all of these things from our childhood are often laid out by my siblings along with the Thanksgiving feast for us all to laugh about, and you bet I dish it right back to them, too. Siblings are great at knowing one another's every little pet peeve and how to pick at them like irritating scabs. Those scabs become memories which are later shared as seemingly notorious stories.
Years into the future when my dear son and daughter are betrothed to the gal or guy they'd been sitting in a tree kissing we will gather around a Thanksgiving feast, open the sibling archives, and reminisce on the car rides home from school, the hellacious homework hour, and more. Don't get me wrong we will definitely recollect the good stuff, too, as it definitely outweighs these things. This negative stuff is just so funny when you really step back and dissect it. When we have that feast I'm sure there will be some sibling rivalry over the wishbone and the last piece of coveted pumpkin pie.

This electric rock 'n' roll drama explores the dark corners of the music business and human nature, following the rise and fall of the band and the girl who made it all happen." – iTunes

Published at Wednesday, 14 November 2018. Kitchen Interior. By Lucien Chevotet.
Another annoying factor can be light. This is to many of you who live in apartments that do not receive any shed of natural light, simply add more electrical lights. These lights should be able to make the kitchen feel much brighter. However they do not have to be always on the ceiling, instead they could be above the stove and near a couple of cupboards that do not really receive much light. As a general rule, I would not have any more than 3 separate switches for lightbulbs, this is for other people that may use the kitchen.
Some kitchens have an incompetent layout or plan which is why sometimes it feels too overcrowded even if there are a few people in the kitchen. If your kitchen has this kind of floor plan then you would need some major redesigning that is if your finances allow it. Try lengthening a few countertops, removing bulky pantry shelves or getting rid of that center island. In place of the pantry shelves, try cupboards or cabinets. Some expert kitchen designers even suggest closed shelves located below countertops and open cabinets, storage shelves, rack, cupboards and hooks above.
Stick to a single style and pattern. Don't change it now and then. Go for monochromatic palette. This can also be termed as a continuous pattern. You can add personality and interest to a kitchen space even with monochromatic palette. Black and white pattern across a counter is graphic and unexpected. Warm up a neutral kitchen by using color shades and textures of gray, ivory and cream. Use bright pop ups of lemon and turquoise on grey or white palette to charm up the kitchen look. If you select upon modern theme for your kitchen then choose on a bold color and high glossy finish. Cherry red and vanilla white is one of the best combination for a kitchen. This combination would take kitchen to a daring high.

By Bryan Calandrelli, Niagara Escarpment Editor
The harvest season in Niagara has just about come to a close, and I've spent the last two days harvesting, crushing, and pressing grapes that hung into November. I'm exhausted and I can tell there is a sense of relief in the air that the wineries in our area don't have to constantly fuss over weather forecasts anymore.I've personally seen the whole spectrum of diseased grapes this year -- underripe one, fragile one and damn-near perfect ones.. So it's become increasingly frustrating to me to read any sweeping speculation -- including my own -- about 2009.
I've also come to the realization that a declaration of the "perfect" vintage (2007) isn't always as beneficial as it seems. I find myself instantly giving thumbs up or down on a 2007 red, thinking "If they couldn't make a good merlot in 2007, then it just isn't going to happen." I'm not proud of this but knowing everything I know about that season, it's unavoidable.
Let's face it. It's not easy to grow grapes in New York State. Cool-climate viticulture is extreme farming and if a wine is quaffable and pleasant at the end of the day, then someone worked his or her ass off to make it that way. Every year is a tough year and that should make the consumer appreciate the wine even more.
Listening to the spin on the topic of this year's harvest has been fun. By already declaring 2009 a bad year, I think many simply are lowering expectations, but perhaps the most common spin has been, "The grapes have great acid this year." Well I can say the same about the wild grapes growing in my back yard but I won't be making wine from them any time soon.
The one example of spin I do find palatable is, "We are getting good flavors in the grapes." This is probably the most important of all. Alcohol, acid and tannin can all be easily manipulated while flavor cannot be.
In my conversations this year with local growers, I've been able to pick up a few signs that they would rather not be matter of fact when discussing their crop. I've gotten used to a wink or grin when they discuss brix levels. I've even come to appreciate sarcasm as a response to vintage questions. One winemaker's response of "best vintage yet" still sums up the tone of the season for me.
A sense of humor is required when you rely on Mother Nature.Overall, the surprising quality of the reds and whites I've tasted these past few weeks though is made even more amazing knowing the challenges each grower and winemaker faced this year. I just hope people don't let some of the speculation prevent them from trying a 2009 New York wine in the future.

"Our aim in the present study is to show that Jesus did not expect a speedy and supernatural destruction of the world." (Lily Dougal and Cyril Emmet, The Lord of Thought, from the Preface, dated Sept. 1922).
At the time of their writing, these two New Testament critics were very much alarmed at a growing bias in NT criticism. "It is now widely held that the whole thought of Jesus was governed by the belief that the end of the world was very near, or, at least, that this belief was a confusing element in his outlook." Of course the authors were discussing a 15-year trend inaugurated by Albert Schweitzer's 1906 book, Von Reimarus zu Wrede (The Quest of the Historical Jesus).
Schweitzer had claimed that the teaching of Jesus is inconsistent with itself except when everything is viewed from the perspective of a thorough-going eschatological frame of mind. Except the problem with his view is that it makes Jesus inconsistent with reality – because some scripture texts make Jesus wrong about the proximity of the end, and his return in glory.
Dougal and Emmet agree with Schweitzer that the eschatological teachings attributed to Jesus are inconsistent with his higher teachings, but they reject Schweitzer's means of achieving consistency for Jesus. Schweitzer, they argue, has only created his own false pattern of consistency in Jesus teaching, "by forcing upon all his sayings and parables an interpretation in harmony with the more fanatical Judaism of his time." (p.2)
They offer a solution which can only alienate both fundamentalists and moderns:
"Considering the circumstances in which the Gospels were compiled, it is more becoming for us, in the first instance, to suspect the records of inaccuracy than to assume that the inconsistency lay with Jesus." (p.9)
I'm fine with the authors' rejection of plenary inspiration. Trouble is, they imply a new principle which skeptical critics are sure to hate – the principle of an inerrant Jesus But I like it!
"In the history of any one of the canonized Christian saints, when sayings and acts are attributed to him or her which to us appear inconsistent and unworthy, our first proceeding is to suspect the accuracy of the narrator … on the hypothesis that the inspiration of the saint for goodness and wisdom was greater than the inspiration for accuracy enjoyed by the disciple." (p.7-8)
Seriously, a hermeneutic principle like inerrant Jesus is unapologetically faithful – only it requires that our faith in the perfection of Jesus trumps our belief in the perfection of scripture. There's bound to be difficulty discriminating the inerrancy of Jesus from the inaccuracy of apostles and gospel writers. But the result for eschatology is an important one – the axiomatic rejection of a merely human Jesus who is either self-contradictory or a fanatic and delusional Jew yields refreshing fruit in a healthy critical skepticism regarding all assertions or allusions in scripture which suggest that a destructive end-of-the world scenario is a necessary adjunct to the true Gospel.

In an exciting development, a California Court of Appeal found a life with the possiblity of parole sentence unconstitutional as cruel and unusual punishment for a 16-year-old. Victor Mendez did not commit a homicide or inflict bodily injury but was sentenced to 84-years- to-life in prison, a sentence that meant he would have no real opportunity for release. Relying on the recent US Supreme Court Case, Graham v. Florida, the California court found that the lengthy sentence did not give him "some meaningful opportunity to obtain release based on demonstrated maturity and rehabilitation." To read the Mendez case click here: People vs. Mendez. To read the US Supreme Court case that found life without parole unconstitutional for juveniles who commit non-homicide crimes, click here: Graham v. Florida.

Sara Kruzan asks Gov. Schwarzenegger for ClemencyWednesday, September 29th, 2010
Sara Kruzan is one of many youth sentenced to life without parole across the US who have grown into mature, responsible adults and should have the chance to work toward release. In California and 38 other jurisdictions in the US, there is no chance for individuals like Sara to earn release. Sara, who was just two months past her 16th birthday when she shot the 36-year-old pimp who had raped and abused her, has filed a clemency petition asking California Gov. Schwarzenegger to commute her life without parole sentence to time served. Now 32, Sara has spent half her life in prison, where she is a model prisoner and working toward a college degree. A petition for clemency is very difficult to win, and only granted in rare cases. To write a letter in support of Sara's petition, click here. Look on the home page of this website to watch a video of an interview with Sara.

Make Calls! Tell Assembly Members what you think of their votes.Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Don't let those who oppose be the only ones that Assembly Members hear from about SB 399. You can take one important step right now towards future success of fair sentencing for youth: Let those Assembly Members who voted yes know you appreciate their leadership. Tell those who did not vote for the bill that you expect different vote the next time. Go to the "Take Action" page for instructions.
SB 399 Fails in the State Assembly: Coalition Looks ForwardThursday, September 2nd, 2010
The California State Assembly defeated SB 399, just two votes shy of what was needed for passage. There's no question that our coalition is deeply disappointed that California failed to stop this human rights violation. Nevertheless, it is clear that while we were working for this bill, something else happened. Perspectives have changed, and there is support building for changing how California treats young people. Literally thousands of individuals called and wrote letters in support of SB 399. Hundreds of people met with their representatives. A diverse collection of over 100 organizations supported the bill, while dozens of churches and other groups held events to push for its passage. We're looking forward to the next steps, and hope you will join us. Right now, please go to the "Take Action" page and see what you can do.

Prior to completing a VFSS, you should have completed a feeding/swallowing clinical evaluation with a speech language pathologist (SLP). The evaluating clinician will ask about your child's medical history, feeding experience, and will evaluate his or her oral-motor skills for feeding and swallowing.
A VFSS is a test to look at how your child swallows foods and liquids. We make an X-ray "movie" of your child's mouth and throat while her or she is drinking and eating. A speech language pathologist (SLP) will work with you and your child. A radiologist will also be present during the study. The SLP will make recommendations right after the test, but you may need to check with your child's doctor before making any changes in your child's diet.
Your child needs an empty stomach for the VFSS procedure. Please do not feed your child based on the guidelines below:
It is important for your child to arrive hungry and ready to eat to complete the procedure. If your child has a feeding tube, you may need to hold or turn off feedings following the guidelines above. It is best if your child wears clothing without snaps on the neck or shoulder.
During the VFSS, your child will be seated next to the X-ray machine during the study. We will give your child a variety of foods and liquids, depending on his or her age and feeding experience. We will add a small amount of barium to the foods and liquids. This allows us to see the foods and liquids on the X-ray as they move through your child's mouth and down the throat. Although barium is safe, it may cause mild constipation after the study (MedlinePlus Drug, 2016). Should you have questions about the possible side effects of barium, please contact your child's pediatrician.
You or another non-pregnant adult will come in the room to feed your child during the study. If you cannot be with your child, please bring another adult your child is comfortable with, so that they can help feed your child. Siblings or other children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the X-ray room and cannot be left unattended in the waiting room area. Therefore, please plan accordingly.
You will arrive at the Nicklaus Children's Hospital main campus as advised by our scheduling team. Upon arrival directly locate the Patient Access office. Present your prescription to the staff and inform them that you are here for your child's videofluoroscopy swallow study. If you are scheduled for both a clinical feeding and swallowing evaluation and a videofluoroscopy swallow study, please inform the Patient Access attendant that you are registering for two separate evaluations.
Although the VFSS study itself is quick (between 20-30 minutes), please allow for flexibility with your schedule for this appointment. Preparation for these studies varies by patient and we aim to provide personalized care to each patient. If you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know.
We look forward to working with you and your child!

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Developmental Scientific Research (B)
Preterm babies, especially born before 24 weeks of gestation, can not be expected intact survival on a conventional incubator and a respirator, as they have frail skin and immature lungs. An artificial uterus, wherein goat preterm babies are brought up in physiological circumstances just like in the uterus, has been developed and improved. Further, related researches mentioned later were done. Preterm goat fetuses were born by cesarean sections, their umbilical vessels were connected to an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) circuit and they were immersed in the hot artificial amniotic fluid. Good results for bringing up them were obtained with improvements of the ECMO circuit. Mock experiments revealed that the amount of blood contained in the ECMO circuit varies by 10 to 20 percent of the total amount of the goat baby with the blood flow rate through the circuit. However, judging from the result of the incubation experiment, it seems that the goat babies can adapt themselves to the change. Change of blood flow in the brain with the obstruction of extracorporeal circulation were examined with the microsphere technique, and it revealed that the blood flow in the brain increased temporarily with the intermittent obstructions of the umbilical cord and then decreased. Fatty acid peroxide in each part of the body were also analyzed in the same experiment, and its high level were found in the brain. Finally, a goat fetus with diaphragmatic hernia, which is one of candidate diseases for the artificial uterus, were made by means of a fetal surgery. By using this experimental animal model, a new therapy combined with the artificial uterus is expected to be developed in the future.
