I'm a retired UN interpreter (of English, Spanish, French and Russian) and was raised around the world in a US military family. Upon retiring from the UN, I began working as a teacher in CT public high schools (completing ARC state/ACFTL certification requirements in French, Spanish and Italian), and I worked at various high school assignments, as well as some college lecturing, for several years. In the last year, I stopped full-time teaching and began teaching afternoon and evening continuing ed. language courses (in German and French) around the state . Last year, I also began volunteer work teaching English to refugees at the two agencies that do such work in Connecticut, the International Institute in Bridgeport and IRIS in New Haven. I love that work because while doing it I can help many people with my skills and also gain a greater knowledge of world languages. (Since starting work there, I've learned a lot of Swahili and other African languages, and I use this knowledge to help students learn better.) I also do some interpreting and translating (both volunteer and paid) for these agencies, as well as Spanish-English interpreting for Aetna and Cigna health insurance programs in this region.
(Update as of February, 2014 ) In the last six months I've also had some great new language teaching experiences. Last semester (autumn 2013) I had the opportunity to teach a class in interpreting (with emphasis on legal and social assistance, as requested by the school) at Wesleyan University. Most recently, I taught a workshop in interpreting at Quinnipiac University, which was attended by several language professors there, as well as students from their departments. This was a challenging (and ultimately exhilarating experience) , since I was asked to teach the basic interpretation skills not only to students and faculty who specialized in Spanish , French and German (all of which I've been familiar with since my youth in Europe), but also to Chinese students and faculty. I'd studied Chinese at the UN and worked for a while in China, but had never thought I'd be using my knowledge of the language in this way. Any opportunity to use and increase one's skills is good, though, so I "hit the Chinese books" and found good Chinese examples and exercises for the workshop, too. All in all, this was a great experience, and one which will probably help me to be even more useful in some language teaching assignments in the future: The more, the better.
Update as of March, 2015 : For the last two semesters I've also been teaching Spanish (basic and intermediate levels and an advanced conversation course) at Sacred Heart University. This has been a great experience, and I'm glad to hear that I'll be there next year, too. At the same time, I continue to teach one "enrichment class", helping students with various languages, an activity I really love, at nearby Trumbull High School, one of my favorite schools, and I tutor and teach occasional classes at IRIS in New Haven.
My great passions in life are teaching, languages, helping others to succeed, government and international affairs, and music. I run an active local band on the weekend and have written many hit songs, too. Since I was raised abroad and have been a teacher, interpreter and translator for decades, I have learned a great deal about different styles and types of language learning and teaching, and thus feel I can help more people to learn and use languages in many different ways, depending upon their needs, goals (which can range from basic learning to achieving fluency and professional competence) and levels of ability. I love using my abilities, experience, and everything I've learned to help others and, in that way, to make the world a little better. I'm a retired UN interpreter (of English, Spanish, French and Russian) and was raised around the world in a US military family. Upon retiring from the UN, I began working as a teacher in CT public high schools (completing ARC state/ACFTL certification requirements in French, Spanish and Italian), and I worked at various high school assignments, as
Joe is very enthusiastic. He is not just about the money. He really cares about the student learning.
You can really connect with him. VERY fluent in a lot of languages & very easy-going. Great tutor all around - all from a teenager
Know how hard those kids are to please!! - from the parent.
My son had his first lesson in Russian with Joseph. He liked it so much (the way it was taught and Joe himself) that he asked for him to come again before Joe even left.
He took his time to introduce basics of the language as well as review learning styles with max. Max was very happy with his session and can't wait for the next one!
Truly has a passion for teaching young minds. His ability to speak several languages makes him a good fit for any ESL tutoring.
Joseph taught my son French for an online class and kept him on task. He helped to build his confidence and skill level.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
In addition to my main lifetime work (as a UN interpreter and a world language teacher), I have frequently taught both entire classes and individual students ESL (English as a second language) at all levels, ranging from the basics (for those with little or no knowledge of English) to more advanced levels, to help immigrant and refugee students to succeed in school and adults to succeed in work here. Over the years, I've often used my knowledge of other languages to help explain and clarify English to those with little English, and used my experience in government and education to assist more advanced learners in preparing for professional work here. I've taught and mentored English learners in local high school programs (i.e. for several years at Stratford High School in Connecticut) and at my state's leading immigrant/refugee assistance agency (IRIS in New Haven), where I have taught various English and interpretation classes, in addition to working with individual English students.
I love helping people improve their English, and have been doing this in various ways for many years since I was raised (as an American) in several countries, and had many occasions to help classmates, relatives and friends with their English over the years. Later, as a language teacher, as well as in my main career as a United Nations interpreter, explaining things clearly in English to people around the world was a big part of my career.
Since retiring from the UN, I have been working as a language teacher in local public schools, and during the last year I've been teaching English ("ESL") classes, as well as tutoring individual students, at the state's two main immigrant/refugee assistance agencies: the International Institute in Bridgeport and IRIS in New Haven. In doing this work I use all the experience I have gathered working with, learning, and teaching languages over the years and can also help students, when needed, by offering them explanations and resources in their own native languages, too, since I know many languages well and know enough about others that I can offer assistance and resources and check their understanding of the material they're learning. My greatest joy and accomplishment in life is actually using my communications skills and knowledge to help others and teaching English as a second language is one of the best ways to do this that I know.
I was raised in Europe and went to school in France when I was young. Then, in my main career, as a UN interpreter (of French, Spanish and Russian), I worked in France, at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland (a French-speaking city, too), and also in Canada (I spent a lot of time in Montreal and Quebec). Since my retirement from the UN, I have taught French (with ARC state teaching certification) and tutored, too. Most recently, I was asked to teach several English classes to French-speaking African students at the International Institute in Bridgeport, and I have also been teaching and tutoring French-speaking students from Africa at IRIS in New Haven. (These are the two main agencies that work with recent immigrants and refugees in Connecticut). These have been great new experiences for me since, above all, I love using my language skills to help others succeed.
I grew up in Germany (and neighboring France) since my father spent most of his career there. I also worked as a German language specialist for the U.S. army and government and used German, too, on assignments for the United Nations, my main career, and I have tutored German students many times over the years. For the last several years, since retiring from the United Nations, I have worked as a language teacher in Connecticut public high schools . My German is native ,as is my English . I have plenty of experience explaining German grammar to others and enjoy helping them build fluency in German, both through conversation and by giving them useful tips and many great learning resources.
I was raised around the Polish language ( both in Europe and the U.S.) , studied it in high school and college, and received my MA in Slavic Linguistics ( Polish and Russian) from the University of Chicago. I then used Polish in my work as a language specialist for the U.S. government. Since retiring from the UN, I have tutored students in Polish, as well. Finally, I have run an award-winning Polish-American band for decades, and won various national awards for Polish and English songwriting ( as can be confirmed by online searches of my name "+ polka music"). I love this heritage language, just as I love teaching in general and all the languages I teach.
I was raised with Russian by my father, who used the language as a professional (military intelligence) specialist. I minored in Russian at Columbia College and received an MA from the University of Chicago in Slavic Linguistics (Russian and Polish). I then completed my initial (first) Connecticut teaching certification process in Russian and went on to be first a U.S. government specialist in that language and then a certified United Nations interpreter of Russian as my main career. Since retiring from the UN, I have been working as a language teacher.
I'm a retired UN interpreter (of Spanish, French and Russian), completed Ct. state ARC requirements in Spanish and have been teaching Spanish for years. I was pretty much raised with the language. (My stepfather and half of my family grew up in Colombia and were bilingual, which gave me lots of practice.) I also spent about half my UN career working in Latin America (including as an interpreter for Fidel Castro and many other interesting adventures), while during the other half I interpreted Spanish-language speeches for ambassadors, presidents and others at the UN headquarters in New York. As a book lover and musician, I also love Spanish-language literature and music, have made some recordings in Spanish and play some Latin American music in my band on weekends, too.

I don't know why coming back from a holiday is always tough, and specially in my case it's even worst because I really relaxed during my holidays, I relaxed so much that I am writing a week later, my very first post of 2012. Better late than never! Don't you think? What do you expect about his year? They say it will come full of changes and energy and specially that the world will end the way we know it, I believe the theory that it will be a huge spiritual change where things will reallocate and rearrange.
So, in order to be ready to start this very interesting year, I suggest you to do a very good change that could help you to get rid of all the things that you don't need: clean your closet!
Here are some tips that may help you:
1. If you have things that you haven't used in one year, is time to get rid of them, don't keep things thinking that you will use them some day because believe me, that will never happen. Usually this kind of clothes are those that you bought planning to loose weight, but guess what? Usually the result is that you never lost that weight and you never wear it. You have to buy things on your size, your current size, and in the colors that look better on you, if not you will never wear them.
2. Get rid of everything that is faded, torn or very used, unless you want to use them for cleaning of painting your room.
3. In order to make a better selection of your clothes, the best will be that you know your body the kind of clothes that are better for you, and also the colors that look best on your skin, so, choosing your daily outfit will be a no brain because everything will fit you. Then, I recommend you that if you are not completely sure it's better to try on all the clothes that you have doubt about how it looks on you, and then decide if you will keep them or not.
4. When we talk about shoes is a completely different story because here it doesn't matter if you haven't used them for a year, because maybe that wonderful pair is perfectly fine and you don't have to get rid of it, keep using them for your special events. The only thing that you have to consider … yep, there is always something to consider, is how damage are your shoes in general, because if they are too used is better to through them out, remember that your shoes talk about your personality and your style, so try always to keep them perfect.
5. Once you finish deciding what to keep and what to toss remember that there are always people who needs clothes no matter if they are not completely perfect so give everything to your closest church or to people that you think may need help. Also, a very important point is to remember that you have to separate all those clothes that need any repair (hem, buttons, etc) and fix them before put them back in your closet.
The best of all these process is that at the end you will have more space in your closet to put new things and start 2012 with a lot of energy and style.
In case you would like to make a deeper change and not only change your closet but also your image, remember that I can help you just contact me and I can help you to change your image online or face-to-face all depends where you live.
See you soon!

Dhanbad, June 24: The Dhanbad-based Directorate-General of Mines Safety, the only regulatory body for safety in mines across the country, has held the Singreni Colliery Company Limited management responsible for the recent accident in which at least 17 miners were killed.
The director-general and other senior officials of the regulatory body have accused the management of deliberate negligence in their preliminary inquiry.
The directorate-general is contemplating filing criminal cases against at least six senior colliery officials over the June 16 mine disaster, regulatory body sources said.
It was the negligence of the Andhra Pradesh-based colliery officials which ultimately led to the incident. The colliery authorities did not seek permission from us before beginning excavation of coal in that particular mine. The place where coal was being excavated was 2.4 metres from accumulated underground water whereas it is mandatory for them to seek permission when mining within 60 metres of accumulated water, director-general Ravindra Sharma said.
The regulatory body has already submitted its preliminary findings to the Union coal ministry, the Andhra government, which holds a stake in the company, and the colliery management.
The body has also instituted a detailed inquiry into the incident, to be conducted by the director of the Hyderabad zone, B.P. Ahuja.
Sharma termed the accident as unprecedented since water used for sand stowing, to fill up the hollow expanses left after excavation of coal, actually inundated the mine at a shallow depth.
There were altogether 57 mine workers inside the mine when the mishap occurred. While 40 people who were working on a raised platform managed to escape, 17 coal workers working deep inside drowned when the accumulated water gushed inside with force, he added.
This is a unique incident, never heard of before in the history of mining in the country. Even the colliery authorities never imagined that the water flushed inside the mine to fill up (hollow expanses) could take the lives of coal mine workers, Sharma said.
Regulatory body sources said directorate-general inspectors last visited the mine in August last year.
Excavation of coal began on April 29 this year.
The officials facing prosecution include the agent, additional general manager, safety officer and survey officer.

Feb 22 - Fitch Ratings says that amendments to Bruntwood Alpha PLC, as agreed by noteholders on 19 February 2013, do not have an immediate impact on the notes' current ratings:
Class A notes (XS0283194792): rated 'Asf'; Outlook Stable
Class B notes (XS0283196490): rated 'BBBsf'; Outlook Stable
Class C notes (XS0283199593): rated 'BBsf'; Outlook Negative
Following analysis of the publicly available terms and documentation, Fitch does not view the amendments as equivalent to a distressed debt exchange, according to its criteria (see 'Distressed Debt Exchange Criteria for Structured Finance', dated 6 July 2012 at www.fitchratings.com). The agency does not consider the amendments as designed to prevent a note event of default. Furthermore, the increase in note margin provided some incentive for noteholders to sign up to the package of changes.
The restructuring centres on a two-year extension of the notes and one of the two loans, the GBP229.2m B2000 loan, in exchange for which noteholders have been offered an increase in margins, albeit on a staggered basis.
The B2000 loan extension is subject to GBP66m being repaid on an agreed schedule. It is envisaged that GBP48m will be repaid via a further asset disposal plan, GBP4.5m via excess rental income, and the remainder, GBP13.5m, by way of voluntary repayments (although only GBP5m equity injection is covenanted). Holding property values constant, this plan should allow for deleveraging of the loan to a 59% loan-to-value ratio (LTV) by January 2016 (from 76% currently). Reinforcing this, the LTV covenant is scheduled to reduce to 70% by 2015, bolstered by continued yearly valuations.
Notably, Bruntwood is not seeking to extend the January 2014 maturity date of the other loan, the GBP203.4m BE loan, which implies it has greater confidence in its ability to redeem this loan in the short term. This is reinforced by its successful refinancing of some of the collateral. The BE borrower has recently exercised its right to release six collateral properties - including the clear trophy asset in the CMBS portfolio - for which the loan was partially prepaid in line with the originally documented release pricing.
The substantial prepayment has not reduced overall leverage because the 15% release premium (RP) is in addition to an allocated loan amount (ALA) set at closing, since when the sold assets had appreciated in value by an offsetting amount. However, future collateral releases have been made subject to more stringent release pricing, with the LTV implied by the ALA re-set against a September 2012 valuation.
Principal allocation to notes from collateral disposals will remain pro-rata up to the ALA, with the RP distributed sequentially (along with swept cash). While this suggests improvement in senior advance rates over time will be modest, Fitch understands that the borrower intends to make a one-off equity-like injection by subordinating interests it has acquired (or will acquire) in the notes to those of other noteholders. Notably while interest will continue to accrue on re-acquired notes (at the original rate), return of principal will be deferred until the other noteholders have been repaid, pending which diverted principal will be paid out sequentially.
While Bruntwood has demonstrated a commitment to capital expenditure, the exposure to secondary locations in the remaining portfolio is of some concern, as indicated at the time of the last rating action in August 2012. However, Fitch notes that the one open market sale executed since then was at a price in excess of the valuer's estimate.

Growing numbers of motorists are turning to in-car cameras to help slam the brakes on fraudsters responsible for adding millions of pounds to insurance premiums.
Figures from the Insurance Fraud Bureau show that so-called 'crash for cash' scams are rising, costing the UK insurance industry £392m a year, with 1-in-7 personal injury claims thought to be linked to a staged accident.
But motorists are fighting back thanks partly to the growing number and affordability of dash or screen-mounted cameras able to record incidents in high-quality HD.
Insurers and prosecutors can use video evidence to not only help identify who was at fault in an accident, but also help bring those guilty of fraud to justice.
The falling cost of cameras, increasing choice and publicity surrounding fraudulent claims has resulted in a perfect storm for the industry.
Ian Bellamy, of online retailer carcamerashop.co.uk, said lower prices, greater awareness and the potential for discounted insurance premiums had seen sales increase.
"Crash for cash and similar scams are now much better known thanks to features on the BBC and a documentary on C4 dedicated to the phenomena," he added.
"There's also been an increase in footage from in-car cameras on websites like YouTube from Russia and parts of Asia, where the cameras have been in more mainstream use for much longer.
"And, as with all tech products, prices have reduced over time in much same way they did with sat nav systems, making them more affordable to a wider market."
Retail prices range from £85 for a basic yet effective model to £380 for the top of the range BlackVue with cameras facing front and rear.
But with big discounts off insurance premiums available for those who have a fitted, working camera, the up-front cost can pale compared to the savings, and peace of mind, on offer.
Adrian Flux offers up to 15 per cent dash cam insurance discount for motorists who fit a camera, with general Gerry Bucke explaining: "Because these cameras cut down on the likelihood of fraudulent claims being successful, some insurers are willing to offer substantial discounts to premiums which will more than make up for the cost of the camera very quickly.
"Young drivers with an average premium pushing £2000 can save up to £300 in just one year – effectively paying for the camera in one hit.
"We also find that, although the cameras don't act as a 'black box' to monitor driver behaviour, they do help to encourage safer driving."
Saving money on your insurance and helping to cut fraudulent claims are just two of many reasons why this fledgling industry is growing.
Will in-car cameras soon be as common as sat nav or in-car phone systems? They just might.
What is 'crash for cash'?
Crash for cash scams often involve induced accidents, where innocent drivers are induced to become the 'at fault' party by crashing into fraudsters using a variety of methods.
Fake injury claims are then submitted and the innocent motorist's insurers have to pay up, resulting in a claim against the motorist's record and potential loss of no claims bonus.
Scammers use a variety of methods to induce an accident, including:
Disconnecting their rear brake lights then braking suddenly in the hope that the following driver will have little time to react and hit them from behind
Flashing a driver to allow them to enter the traffic and then driving into them, claiming they pulled out (known as 'flash for cash')
Using placed 'witnesses' at the scenes of accidents to give misleading information to police to make it look like the accident was your fault
Using multiple vehicles to create a crash situation and confuse the picture for police and insurance companies

Could new security measures make longer lines and waiting times at Ohio's amusement park?
Many families are gearing up for opening week at Cedar Point but you may want to prepare yourself for longer check-ins.
WBNS reported that the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World" installed metal detectors to add another level of security.
Cedar Point spokesman Tony Clark says the process for passing through metal detectors should go quickly.
Cedar Point will open Saturday with a newly expanded water park called Cedar Point Shores. It has the second most roller coasters in the world behind Six Flags Magic Mountain in Clarita, California.

Three Things (Life Lately)
1. Fall is in full swing and while I agree that the changing leaves are absolutely gorgeous, I can't help but mourn our long summer days spent outside. Going for after dinner walks because it's a warm evening (and the sun's out past 7pm). Spending all day walking around the neighborhood and playing at the water table. We are definite outdoor lovers, Eden included. She's constantly going up to the back door and suggesting: "side?" Today was 70 degrees - the perfect fall day. Chilly morning and evening, warm afternoon, complete with the fall colors. This is the type of fall day that make the transition easier.
2. Over the weekend, we celebrated my sister-in-law and soon to be baby niece! She's due on Thanksgiving - how fun is that? Pictured above are both of my SIL's, who I love dearly. I am so excited to have another little girl to join Eden and Cora at family functions :)
3. I'm still working two days a week and when I find an outfit I like, I try to take a picture so that I have an archive of outfits to throw together on work days. I'm not a huge ruffle person, but this gray top makes them seem less ultra-girly and more work appropriate.
Hope you're having a fantastic fall so far,

Most of my readers are fortunate to have the right to vote. We cast our votes for local and national politicians every few years to participate in democracy in a direct and sanctioned way, but also to suggest which values we'd like to see reflected in society. Voting in political processes is very important, but I also firmly believe that we vote every day, with our purchases, that is, with our dollars. What better reflection of what we value than how we spend our hard-earned money?
So, enter my black shirt dilemma. Do I buy a shirt now that I can afford or wait until I save the money to buy a shirt that aligns with my values?
It's been about 6 months now that I have no shirts, no blouses, no tops left in my closet. Everything had been worn through and was beyond repair. I've been getting by wearing dresses and knit sweaters during this time. Many times I've wanted to buy myself a replacement white or black tee, but didn't have a good source or the money to buy an ethically made shirt. So, rather than buy a conventional shirt at a big box store I just waited until the time was right. Many people, myself included, would say that a basic tee is essential, like underwear, in your wardrobe. Well, essential is stretching it, since I've clearly proved this point wrong. Nevertheless, I do think basics are a good investment and owning a few (let's say two) basic tees would allow me to wear more of my current wardrobe (…having no tops, I can't wear my one pair of pants or skirt).
About a month ago I got an email from a small company out of Paris called Les Sublimes. Alexis and Kachen wrote to me about their dreams of launching an environmentally-friendly and ethically made line of basics for women. The clothing would be wardrobe essentials that don't compromise on our values. Sadly, I have noticed many times that wardrobe basics are the clothing most of us cut corners with in our budgets. Oftentimes we are willing to spend more on statement pieces or items when the brand will be obvious. In contrast, generic pieces and basics are often where I see people buying from fast fashion brands, where the quality is poor, the production is not fair, but the price is right. Except that in reality, we know the price is wrong.
As I learned from Alexis, Les Sublimes will produce their line of basics (tops and dresses) in France, in an environmentally-friendly way, that reduces water use, and is made from organic and sustainably harvested natural resources. The garments will be produced with the intention of improving the lives of every person along its chain of production, from the farmers to the artisans to the garment workers. In addition, Les Sublimes will be giving back by supporting education for girls living in poverty. Every single piece of clothing sold will translate into one month of education for a girl. You can read more about their giving here.
Pre-sale to fund Les Sublimes first production
So, if you are looking to stock some ethically made basics, look no further than Les Sublimes, you can purchase from their pre-sale which they are running through Indiegogo.
Les Sublimes launched an Indiegogo campaign earlier today to help them produce their first collection. Indiegogo is essentially a platform for Les Sublimes to organize a pre-sale, so they have the funds to produce their line. This means that everyone who funds Les Sublimes through their month-long campaign will receive a piece from their line if they donate over 9 Euros ($10 USD/ $13 CAD). You can see all the details of the rewards on the campaign page.
When you purchase from Les Sublimes and other ethical companies, you are putting your money where your mouth is, you are voting for:
- Sustainable agriculture
- Responsible harvesting
- Low impact, environmentally-friendly production
- Use of organic and biodegradable fabrics
- Fair and living wages
- Small scale, local production
- Social responsibility
- Quality over quantity
- Durability over disposability
So, it turns out that come August I will once again have a shirt in my closet! Woohoo.
You can find Les Sublimes online here, follow them on Instagram here and on Facebook here. And don't forget to visit their Indiegogo page to read more about their story and production ethics.

General Questions!!!
I decided again to install my favourite OS (Linux of course) and i have some questions and i wonder if anyone can help me!
First of all my test box is a PIII 800MHz 256MB RAM NVidia Geforce 2 MX 32 MB.
I want to install Fedora Core 3 and given my previous experience with Red Hat Distros i know that are resource hungry! What i want to know is what i can do to make it faster and less resource hungry (KDE is a must)!!!
Another thing i want to ask is whether i can use the tv-out capability of my video card to watch my dvd on tv. I use it all the time in WinXP and since i can't use it in dual mode in video playback i send the signal only on tv and watch the dvd. Then i send the signal back on my monitor and use my pc as normal. I wonder if that can be done in Linux.
Thanks a lot for your time!!!
03-07-2005 #2
To make it less re-source hungry, make less programs start up at boot, don't install that much software, use command line programs instead of X ones, such as irssi, instaed of XChat etc.
I must say you are limiting yourself by only using KDE, I'd at least look into Enightenment or IceWM, which are slightly heavier Window Mangars.

The thing is i am a new user and i dont know which services i should shut down or how to do it and how to turn off the programs that load at boot time.
About kde i use greek language and the only window manager i've been able to use greek in is KDE. The font installer has been very helpful. I don't know how to set other window managers for greek.
Thanks for your reply!

Here's a tip: buy another stick of 256MB RAM (don't tell me it's expensive) and everything will run smooth.

Because of the possible confusion, I think that you will be inviting a law suit. I suggest creating something completely different so as to stand out. Most law suits can be avoided by just thinking and planning in advance.

Hard to say without diving deeper into the facts and applying principles of trademark law. In a nutshell, if "tagged" is subject to trademark protection (not all marks are), and your use of "tag" causes consumers to be confused about whether you are affiliated with tagged.com, there might be a valid trademark infringement claim. I think you need to consult with a trademark lawyer before proceeding. No reason to spend time and money developing a mark that has an unreasonable risk of attack.

Yes, Tagged will be on you so fast that it will make your head spin and will probably claim, rightfully, service mark infringement.

Sebby Law Office | Jayne Sebby
Potentially you could get into several problems but you haven't provided enough information to determine what specific types of trouble might arise. Perhaps more important is that users of your site are likely to get it confused with the Tagged site and go to that site. I'd look for a different name.
Answer Applies to: Nebraska

Lawyer for Independent Media | Sue Basko
If you use the name Tag, you will most likely be violating the trademark of that other site, or of some other entity. There are over 3,000 registered U.S. trademarks that incorporate the word "tag." You are best off to develop a name that is original and all yours only, that can be registered as a trademark. If you would like help in developing and choosing a name and registering it as a trademark, I do that sort of work. A trademark on a piece of software is a valuable thing that can be used as loan collateral. A trademark makes a product worth so much more than a product that does not have one or more trademarks. It is well worth taking the time and money to properly name your product and register a trademark on it. This is one of the core facets that will entice investors, purchasers, and lenders.

You have arrived
Keep praying for the challenges of humanity with the Pope. Because together, we can change the world.
An app to revolutionize praying.
Prayer is now easy, flexible, and creative. Click To Pray is the app of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network (Apostleship of Prayer). The app accompanies you throughout your day. It connects you with thousands of people who find purpose in praying every day for the challenges of humanity and for the mission of the Church as the Pope proposes in his monthly prayer intentions. Through prayer, we can live and build the world we dream. Through prayer, we can give meaning to our lives and be moved to action.
Click To Pray offers you three brief moments of prayer each day. You are invited to join the Pope's call to connect your heart with others seeking to serve the mission of Jesus. Together, we make each day different. Live each day with a twist.
Click To Pray also lets you share your own prayer intentions for all to pray.
In November 2014 The Apostleship of Prayer in Portugal launched the application Click To Pray to help people pray. Expanding on that beginning, the international Apostleship of Prayer had developed a new version of Click To Pray to make it a digital platform for the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network (in English, Portuguese, Spanish and French) and its youth branch, EYM (Eucharistic Youth Movement).

ST. LOUIS -- Billionaire Stan Kroenke says he wants to keep the Rams in St. Louis.
"I'm going to attempt to do everything that I can to keep the Rams in St. Louis," Kroenke told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Just as I did everything that I could to bring the team to St. Louis in 1995. I believe my actions speak for themselves."
The comments are his first since announcing he wants to buy the 60 percent of the team he doesn't yet own.
"There's a track record," Kroenke told the newspaper. "I've always stepped up for pro football in St. Louis. And I'm stepping up one more time."
Illinois businessman Shahid Khan is also bidding for the 60 percent stake in the Rams. Kroenke declined to comment on details of his bid and he has not returned repeated calls from The Associated Press.
The team's majority owner and chairman, Chip Rosenbloom, told the Post-Dispatch, "There's no reason to believe that Stan would be anything less than committed to St. Louis."
Rosenbloom said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that he couldn't comment on details of the sales process.
Kroenke lives in Columbia, Mo. He also owns the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the NHL's Colorado Avalanche.
"I'm born and raised in Missouri," Kroenke told the newspaper. "I've been a Missourian for 60 years. People in our state know me. People know I can be trusted. People know I am an honorable guy."
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Posted by MasJ @ Fri, 20 Feb 2009 | Message Boards
In yet another huge update I've added roms/isos for the Amiga CD32, Apple ][ & Sharp X68000 systems. The CD32 was the first 32-bit CD based console to be released (only in Europe..) and thus the complete collection of CD32 titles weigh in at about 25GB of data! The Apple ][ was released in 1976 and had many great titles available for it. The Sharp X68000 though not heard of much in western countries was a huge hit in Japan. You can find titles for all these systems and more at our Roms Section.

270 ISOs: 3DO & CD-i Sections added!
Posted by MasJ @ Mon, 09 Feb 2009 | Message Boards
Over the weekend, I've added a whopping 72GB of ISO's that are basically Panasonic 3DO and Philips CD-i titles. These were some of the first CD-based systems released in the early 90's. They were extremely advanced for the time (CD's were expensive) and thus were unaffordable for most of the general populace. Even though neither of these consoles took off too well, they did manage to get a bunch of decent titles. Infact, the CD-i even had two Zelda games on it's list! [Which we have available @ EP, ofcourse!]

I have kind of small teeth, medium sized I guess. I've had braces for 1 1/2 years and I'm getting them off tomorrow. I'm nervous and scared because I feel like I'm going to look ugly? I didn't brush my teeth at night that much like I did but not as much as I was supposed to (however I did and do brush every morning), I didn't floss very often and I rarely wore my rubber bands. Will my teeth be ugly? Will I have stains on my teeth? If yes will they take the stains off? I don't know what to do please help and don't be rude!

You should be fine. If there'a a little bit of yellowing you can whiten your teeth.
Many years ago I dated a girl with braces. I didn't even notice when she got them off.11|00|0

The Kennedy and most gold mines in California had to close in 1942 during World War II. Most, including the Kennedy, did not reopen after the war or ever again. Hence, the Kennedy Mining and Milling Company disincorporated in 1950 and sold its mine, real property, and plant to its last superintendent, Mark Eudey, and wife Frances. They, in 1955, deeded Wheels 1 & 2 and a half acre holding them to the County of Amador. Those wheels, however, were landlocked with no access.
The Kennedy Wheels, protected by corrugated steel sheds, operated with few interruptions 24-hours a day, from 1914 until the U.S. Government closed the mine in 1942. Soon after, when the price of scrap metal soared, the wheels sheds were dismantled revealing the wheels to the world and the elements for the first time in 28 years.They soon became a Mother Lode mining tourist attraction and were probably the most photographed relic of the quartz mining era in California. They also became part of the (City of) Jackson Wheels Park.
The State of California, Amador County and the City of Jackson all have made major investments to preserve two of four Kennedy Tailing Wheels, the most significant relics of the state's golden age of quartz mining. They are unique; they are iconic. Now, they should survive for generations to come.

We rarely escape our past, and past rarely escapes from us. We like what we grew up with, even if at the time we did not really embrace the idea. We need nostalgia as much as we need innovation: it makes us feel homey, feel at ease.
And when the nostalgic and the innovative merge, there is opportunity for brand new ideas to be experienced as if they have been there for years. It is the opportunity to embrace without question; there is the opportunity to turn something good into great. Although most of the time we just seize the chance to reminisce a simpler yet vibrant time, when little innovation made a great big deal. So here are 46 ideas that revive good-old-times memories, or strike with their novelty, or both.

Goldenseller Black 4.3-Inch TFT-LCD Monitor with a Square Backup Camera
Finally aback up camera that comes with everything you need. I had a couple of other back up cameras, but neither came with the monitor. This one has a nice little 4.3 inch monitor included. I like that it is on the small side but it is large enough to be able to see very easily. This mounted very nicely on the dash as well.
My husband hooked this up to his Dodge Journey rather quickly and then took it for a test drive. He pretty much drove around the block in reverse. He came back and told me he really really likes this, and we would be getting one to go in my car soon.
I received this product during a promotion free for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review and I am not required to give a good review. I am also not associated with the seller in any way.

WESTERN Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney is set to be handed the ultimate endorsement with a summer contract extension.
McCartney's contract runs out at the end of next season but the club's barnstorming end to the season is just one of many positives at Whitten Oval.
Bulldogs president Peter Gordon yesterday confirmed that the Dogs were in a position to pay 100 per cent of the salary cap from next season on.
That will allow them to pay a $1.8 million salary over four years for Essendon's Stewart Crameri and potentially pre-pay some contracts if that helps their total player payment position.
While Gordon would not comment on the timing of an extension for McCartney, the Herald Sun understands it will be ticked off before Round 1.
A two-year extension would be likely given his strong hand on the tiller at the Dogs.
Gordon said McCartney had the club's total support after two years of development.
"My expectation is that Brendan McCartney will be the senior coach of the Bulldogs for many years. I have had a couple of discussions with Macka over the course of the last 12 months over these issues and we are comfortable and he is comfortable,'' he said.
"When (CEO) Simon Garlick and (football manager) Graham Lowe choose to they will sit down and have an appropriate conversation about the way that is proceeded with."
The Dogs position of strength is in stark contrast to St Kilda as it considers the fate of its coach Scott Watters.
St Kilda lost successive Grand Finals (2009-2010) in the same years as the Dogs lost the last two of their three successive preliminary finals.
But the Dogs' quick rebuild has them on track for at least a competitive season next year, even if finals contention is some years away.
Gordon is working with the AFL on its equalisation measures but meanwhile is determined to allow the Dogs to compete on an equal footing.
"We can pay the salary cap next year, there is no financial impediment to conducting our list management," he said.
"We see it as a key element of running our club and from now on we plan to pay the full salary cap every year. There might be reasons we don't need to do it with the way our list configures in a particular year but that's a weapon in our armory and one we have provided (list manager) Jason McCartney."
The Dogs believe they will get key forward Crameri for pick 22 without needing to threaten the use of the pre-season draft.
"We would be delighted to get Stew over the line but I leave that to Jason," Gordon said.
"We have a great optimism about how we will perform next year, but the AFL is like the Hunger Games. You have to be biting and scratching and clawing because not only do we need to make improvement, we need to make improvement against other teams. We need to work harder and smarter than our 17 competitors."

We are just friends but i like him and he admitted that he liked me. He also said that i am not difficult to fall in love with. He was (i think) flirting with me (and other girls 😔) BUT he still keeps on going back to his ex. I just don't see the purpose of all his sweet words and actions when he still loves his ex. Right now, we don't communicate anymore bc my friend voluntarily talked to him bc maybe she feels that i was already hurting (i guess it was already the closure 😔)

Between Dignity And Despair A Review Of
Between Dignity And Despair: A Review Of Marion Kaplan's Book Essay, Research Paper
Between Dignity and Despair: A Review of Marion Kaplan s Book
Marion Kaplan s Between Dignity and Despair (Oxford, 1998) covers stories of Jewish life in the time of the Holocaust, when the Nazis began to overtake Germany. Kaplan herself narrates to the reader historical facts, while she includes selections from letters, memoirs, and interviews with survivors. The book is written in chronological order of events, from the daily life of German Jewish families before the Holocaust began to the days when rights were taken away; from the beginning of forced labor and deportation to the aftermath of the war.
Kaplan tries to include details from each significant event during the time of the Holocaust. She first mentions how life was for German Jews before the start of Nazi rule. She explains that most Jews adapted enthusiastically to the social, political or cultural styles, [in order to proclaim] their German patriotism (page 12), later they began to disregard this when Nazi actions began to take place. Kaplan then mentions how Jews experienced ostracism through the examples of the boycott of Jewish goods in April of 1933, which was a first attempt at limiting the participation of Jews in the German economy.
In chapter two, German Jews private lives, rather than public lives, are the focus. Kaplan explains how Jews began to feel forced into limiting their appearances in public. She goes into instances of people wishing to emigrate, partially as a result of these feelings. For the most part, if a woman wanted to leave, she was seen as insane. Kaplan recounts one woman s story: I implored my husband and a friend to leave they believed my nerves had given
way (page 68). Of course, as conditions continued to become worse, more Jews attempted to leave Germany.
Chapters three and four focus more on Jewish family and children s lives. People of mixed Jewish and Aryan races were referred to as Mischlinge, and even those who had married Jews were counted fully as Jews and accused of race defilement (page 75). These Germans were treated as such, including all laws and punishments. As for children, it became increasingly difficult to be in school. In April 1933, the Law Against the Overcrowding of German Schools was created, in essence establish[ing] a quota of 1.5 percent total enrollment for Jews (page 94). Progressively, attendance in mixed schools by Jewish children seemed pointless altogether
Chapters five through eight discuss the worsening of German Jewish life up through the conclusion of the war. The descriptions begin with the unforgettable eve of The November Pogrom, otherwise known as Krystallnacht, in which the Nazis attacked Jews houses and properties. These chapters continue on to the references of bombings to life in the camps; from partial families who managed to hide to those who managed to survive and their testimonies.
The central theme of this book is to demonstrate the degradation of German Jews throughout the course of the Holocaust. Kaplan manages to capture the factual horrors of Nazi actions, as well as allowing the reader to experience memories of survivors. Kaplan does well to relate times of events by stating specific months. However, Bauer and Berenbaum in A History
of the Holocaust (Grolier, 1982) and The World Must Know (Little, Bwon, and Company, 1993), respectively, tend to be a little bit more specific by stating actual dates. For example, when referring to the establishment of the Nuremberg Laws,
Kaplan simply states In September 1935 (page 17). Bauer and Berembaum both mention that the actual date of implementation of these laws was September 15, 1935. It is important to know specific dates so that we may remember these events in relation to other events that may have happened in a certain month during this time. Specific dates allow us to be more aware, also in recalling our knowledge of the Holocaust.
I noticed a contradiction to Kaplan, however, in a film that we viewed in class. Kaplan states that women were more inclined to emigrate because they were not as integrated into the public world (page 63). In the 1979 movie The Holocaust, Bertha Weiss did not wish to leave Germany because she felt so much a part of Berlin. Perhaps this film interpretation was simply to make a general statement, but it cause me to become a bit confused as to facts.
In general, I prefer Kaplan s book to those we have been studying in class so far. She focuses much on testimonies of others and is able to connect them to her historical explanations. I would much rather listen to/read personal accounts than simply hear/read about just the facts. I feel more related to the subjects at hand and am able to relate in a more realistic fashion. Kaplan chooses to illustrate the history more of an area of interest, so I am better able to grasp concepts and the emotions dealt with on such a touchy issue.

Letter 35 is the thirty-fifth letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Tolkien reported that the new story, The Lord of the Rings, had come to Chapter 12 and more than 300 pages of composition. He predicted no less than 200 more pages expected to complete it and asked when was the most recent date that the finished original copy should reach Allen and Unwin. He discussed different troubles that had hampered his composition (works and inconveniences coming from the demise of Professor Eric Gordon, work to clear up the New Zealand examination, and an episode of flu). Next he discussed substantial errands ahead. Because of monetary anxiety he was obliged to do exams and addresses and what not. He proposed that Allen and Unwin should consider publishing Mr. Bliss or Farmer Giles of Ham.
Tolkien said that The Lord of the Rings was significantly better than The Hobbit but may not demonstrate an exceptionally fit continuation. It was a more grown up story, part of the way in light of the fact that perusers had clamored for "all the more about the Necromancer" and he was not no problem. Of likenesses he recorded more Hobbits, the return of Gollum, Gandalf, Dwarves, and a Giant. So far there was no mythical serpent however the new and extremely alarming Ringwraiths were an element. He thought about whether his distributers ought to see it as it was for in the event that they didn't need it there wouldn't be the frantic weight to finish it. The written work was taking quite a while in light of the fact that he was considering each word and felt that the story had some criticalness. It would have been simpler to chip away at the happy plots of the Little Kingdom but he needed to complete the more drawn out story. He felt that he may wrap up by June, however with no delineations. An exceptionally important guide may be everything he could do.

Joe never said they would, but they did. The western Allegheny County Township of Moon honored long-time resident Joe DeNardo by naming a street after him. In addition to 35 years on the air at WTAE-TV (4), he was chairman of Moon's Parks and Recreation Board for 24 years. The street is located in a community park.
When WTAE anchor Sally Wiggin interviewed DeNardo, she discovered that he still comes up with his own forecasts using his home computer. She asked, "Are you still good?" He responded, "I'm outstanding!"

Thai Massage with a G-Rated Happy Ending
Enter massage place. Receptionist is very attractive. Briefly re-evaluate stance on happy endings. She leads me to the back room where I meet my masseuse. She is a stocky Thai woman in her 60's with several teeth missing and a nice mole on the upper lip. I'm not sure what her name is in Thai, but I assume it roughly translates to Olga.
She leads me to the massage room and leaves to let me change. There are loose, flowy clothes for me to put on. Shouldn't be a problem. I've been practicing putting on my clothes for years. Slide the shirt on like a champ. Hit a roadblock with the pants. They're absolutely massive and I can't get them to stay up.
They have two really long strings on the front that are clearly the solution to my problem but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Try tying them in a bow in the front. Pants fall to my ankles. Why did I think that could work? Try looping them over my shoulders and wearing them like suspenders. They don't reach. Give up and yell for Thai Olga to come help me. Putting on these pants should be a prerequisite for Mensa members.
Olga comes in, points, laughs and says "Oh you wear boxers?". Damn right Olga, and it's gonna stay that way. She takes off my pants, turns them around so that the strings are in the back, and then takes them from the back and ties them in the front (also known as a belt). As she does this, she shouts something over her shoulder in Thai. I don't speak Thai, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it wasn't a compliment to my intelligence.
The massage begins. Olga is a master of her craft. She's walking all over me with her knees and finding knots in my back that I didn't even know existed. Spends an inordinate amount of time massaging my butt cheeks. Feels spectacular, don't complain.
The massage ends and I feel rejuvenated. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the massage place but if you're ever in Chiang Mai, search around for Thai Olga. She'll be a stocky, Thai woman with a mole on her upper lip and hands crafted for dancing across butt cheeks.
If you enjoyed the post, please give it a share!

The Papal Plan for Restoration: Restoring the Catholic Priesthood
CODE: P-Plan*
The Papal Plan for Restoration: Restoring the Catholic Priesthood
A Study Guide for Catholic Laity, Seminarans, and Clergy - By Robert Wolfe
Large 8.5" by 11" format 200 pages - paperback
As the title suggests, this book describes a plan taken from key papal encyclicals that engendered and safeguarded the vitality of the Catholic Faith in the prospering pre-Conciliar Church. That plan is still being followed by small traditional Catholic communities around the world today, producing that same vitality in their members. The families in these communities, particularly the heroic mothers in these large families, produce many priestly vocations. Shepherded by the traditional orders that serve them, these families seed the restoration of the Catholic priesthood.
In the Book:
• A wake-up call for Catholics.
• Modern popes quoted acknowledging the crisis in the Church.
• Extensive statistics on problems currently facing the Church.
• A thorough study guide on the problems and their proposed solutions.
• More than twenty papal encyclicals quoted.
• Six key encyclicals studied in detail.
• Six elements of the Plan developed from the encyclicals.
• Ten cause-and-effect relationships developed, statistically linking the crisis with the
implementation of changes subsequent to Vatican II.
• Statistical evidence that the current crisis could have been prevented had the bishops at Vatican II not ignored the quoted warnings of pre-Conciliar popes.
• A logical, defendable, statistical estimate of the abundance of Catholic priests the Church would have today if pre-Conciliar Church growth had continued.
• Statistical evidence that the current shortage of priests has a proven remedy not being seriously
considered by our bishops.
• Statistics on vital Catholic communities successfully implementing the Plan.
• New seminaries ordaining many traditional priests for the Extraordinary Form Mass.
• Integral to the study guide is an extensive survey questionnaire on the Faith, the Mass and The Plan.

Always See Photo ID of Utility Workers At Your Home
Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. urges its customers to ask to see a photo identification card from utility workers certifying that they are O&R employees or contractors before doing any business with them or allowing them to enter customers' homes.
The utility renews this warning periodically to put its customers, especially the elderly, on guard about crooks who pose as utility workers in order to gain access to and rob the homes of unsuspecting residents.
All O&R employees and contractors are required to carry color photo I.D. cards during their workday. If a person comes to your door claiming to be an O&R employee or contractor, look for the card.
Each O&R employee and contractor card is about the size of a NYS driver's license and is made of plastic.
They are all set up with the individual's photo in the middle of the card.
On the right of the card is the individual's name in a block of color:
- Red for contractors
- Grey for O&R employees who belong to IBEW Local 503
- Orange for O&R employees who are not Local 503 members
On the left of the card for O&R employees is a black stripe. In that stripe is the company's name, Orange & Rockland. For the contractor card, the word "contractor" is in the black stripe.
If you cannot see a photo I.D. card hanging around the worker's neck or clipped to a shirt or coat, ask the worker to produce the card for your inspection before speaking with him or her further, or permitting entry to your home.
If individuals representing themselves as O&R employees or contractors cannot produce a legitimate photo I.D. card, terminate further contact with them and call the police.
If the workers do produce an identification card but you are still apprehensive, call O&R's Security Services at 845-577-3130 to confirm the identity of the O&R employee or contractor.

America's 3 Most Picturesque National Parks to Visit
Home to some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the world, America's National Parks are quite simply outstanding and unrivalled. With so many to choose from and them all being spread so far and wide across the country choosing which ones you should visit can be tricky with so many amazing sites to see and so little time.

- The Grand Canyon
Perhaps the most striking on the eye, Arizona's Grand Canyon is vast, encompassing and beautiful all at once. Five million people visit every year to marvel at the famous gorge, hike through the trails or fly over the top to take it all in on a helicopter. Carved by the Colorado River, the first site of the ginormous red rock formation will most definitely take your breath away.
- Yellowstone
The first ever national park to exist in America, Yellowstone is strikingly beautiful with 3,500 sq feet of wilderness for visitors to roam. There's so much to do in Yellowstone from seeing geysers to giant waterfalls, enjoying horseback rides, bike riding and hiking.Visit between March and November time for the best chances of spotting grizzly bears in their natural habitat. Be sure to scope out the world's most famous Geyser, Old Faithful frequently erupts so you'll be sure to catch site of it if you hang around for long enough in the Old Faithful area of the park.
