Newly appointed Liverpool Football Club Manager Jurgen Klopp will drive a Vauxhall Insignia in his new role with the Anfield club. In its role as 'Official UK Car Partner' of Liverpool Football Club, Vauxhall Motors extends a hearty welcome to its newest signing
To mark his arrival, Vauxhall - and sister-company Opel - have released a series of creatives building on the speculation around Klopp's next move, signing off with; 'Jurgen Klopp changes his club but not his company car' and 'You'll never drive alone'.
Juergen Klopp will continue his role as an Opel/Vauxhall Ambassador alongside names such as Bryan Adams. Klopp has become a firm trademark with the Opel brand, supporting its portrayal of 'sculptural artistry meets German precision' with Klopp featuring on a business class flight promoting the Opel Insignia as well as putting the Opel Mokka through its paces on the track. Opel has even credited Klopp with turning round its fortunes in the country, saying his role as an ambassador helped boost sales of its Insignia model by 35 per cent in 2014.
However, the 48-year olds biggest challenge might not be managing Liverpool FC's biggest players such as Sturridge, Henderson, Benteke and Coutinho but mastering driving a right-hand drive car on the left side of the road.
Rory Harvey, Chairman and Managing Director of Vauxhall Motors said; "Klopp knows our business, he's a car man and he most recently supported us at the Frankfurt Motor Show as we launched the all-new Brit built Astra. It's great for both Opel and Vauxhall that he's driving a Vauxhall Insignia and we wish him the best of luck at Liverpool Football Club."

The Jessner Peel is generally considered a medium level peel containing 14% of each acid (Salicylic, Lactic, and Resorcinol.) The depth of this peel is determined by the number of layers applied during application and the tolerance level of the skin it is applied to. It is recommended that new users begin with 1-3 layers for a light/medium peel. Generally 4-6 layers will result in a medium/deep peel and 7-8 layers can result in a deep peel. The distinct blend of acids work in synergy to combat hyperpigmentation, sun damage and rough texture to reveal vibrant glowing skin.
This is my first time with this peel...application was so easy and very well explained. I will definitely order again from SkinPeel..value, packaging, products and instructions make for a flawless experience!!
This works beautifully everytime!
The product delivers on younger looking skin, reduced lines, reduced pores, reverse sun damage, Downtime can last 3 to 6 days for me but the results are worth it. Moisturize, Moisturize Moisturize!!!
With use of this peeling solution, your skin may become red and take on a frosting appearance during application. In some cases, the skin will have a temporary anesthesia or numbing effect. The skin may appear red or dark for several days while recovering from the peel. Breakouts may also occur after peeling. This reaction is normal and the breakout is due to the pores cleansing and bringing debris to the surface. Your skin should begin to balance out within a few weeks, leading to clearer and less oily skin.
(Downtime will vary depending on how many layers are applied)
Jessner Peel is suitable for most skin types particularly normal to oily, acneic, and sun damaged. Sensitive and dry skin types should consult with one of our estheticians to determine if the Jessner peel is an appropriate choice for them.
Improved skin tone, texture and clarity. Reduction of acne, clogged pores, shallow wrinkles, and fine lines. Increase in collagen and elastin production.
Maintain your new vibrant skin with MedPeel Salicylic 2% Daily Exfoliator and Age Defy SPF 30 Moisturizer.
*Darker skin tones (particularly Fitzpatrick 4, 5, and 6) should proceed with caution due to an increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from resorcinol exposure

The capital projects department at Tods Murray has registered its best-ever half-year figures, following the completion of four private finance initiative (PFI) projects originating in England.
Within the last 12 months, the team has completed projects worth over £400m. These include the Islington street lighting, Rotherham schools, Blackburn hospital and Sunderland street lighting projects.
The team won the work after its role on the £200m-plus New Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh project.
"It used to be a foregone conclusion that deals like these went to City-based firms," said a Tods Murray spokesman. "Now a selection committee based in Birmingham tenders out the work and the price determines who gets it. It's been a record year and the PFIs have rolled in."
Charles Smith, commercial and projects lawyer at Brodies, noted that the PFIs were good for Scottish practice in general. He added that Tods Murray is not the only Scottish firm landing major PFIs, and that the work it has recently completed is not unique. "PFI work involving schools and hospitals are not quite bread-and-butter work, but are certainly fairly mainstream," said Smith.

The US Roster was just announced as:
Altidore, Beasley, Bocanegra, Bornstein, Bradley, Buddle, Cherundolo, Clark, DeMerit, Dempsey, Donovan, Edu, Feilhaber, Findley, Gomez, Goodson, Guzan, Hahnemann, Holden, Howard, Onyewu, Spector, Torres
All "Fire Bob Bradley" sentiments aside, who is your starting 11 against England? I would go with a 4-4-2 in:
Spector DeMerit Onyewu Bocanegra
Donovan Edu Bradley Beasley
Dempsey Altidore
top subs: Holden, Clark, Goodson
I can't really see anyone breaking into the starting 11 (maybe Clark for Edu?) unless injuries become an issue.

All the latest news, views and transfer rumours from the Emirates Stadium...
Arsenal were handed a much needed boost after their 6-0 defeat at the hands of London rivals Chelsea as both Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have escaped any suspension over the much talked about red card at Stamford Bridge. With the Gunners already trailing 2-0, Oxlade-Chamberlain handled an Eden Hazard shot on the line, resulting in a spot kick for the Blues, and what should've been a red card for the Arsenal midfielder.
However, referee Andre Marriner accidentally sent off full back Gibbs instead in a case of mistaken identity, and Arsenal appealed both the erroneous red card award and the decision itself - and won both. The ban would've been transferred to Oxlade-Chamberlain, but Arsenal have also had that rescinded, believed to be on the basis that Hazard's shot was going wide.
Whilst the news will be a boost to manager Arsene Wenger, it won't erase the memory of their shambolic display at Stamford Bridge, which has severely dented Arsenal's title hopes. Wenger, who is now closing in on the unwanted stat of going nine whole years without winning a trophy, has called for a reaction from his players, who suffered yet another mauling at the hands of a title rival.
"The Premier League is difficult and as soon as you drop your standards a little bit you are of course in danger," Wenger said ahead of tomorrow night's fixture at home to Swansea City. "It happens to many clubs because the fight for the relegation is very hard. The fight at the top is very, very hard and that's why every game has its own difficulties that you have to deal with," he added.
In other news, young striker Chuba Akpom has returned to Arsenal following a loan spell with League One side Coventry City. The 18-year-old played seven times for the Sky Blues but failed to hit the back of the net, and will head back to the Emirates Stadium for the second time this season, following an equally unimpressive stay with Brentford earlier this year.

Sacramento sheriff's deputy caught on video beating man with his flashlight
Authorities in Sacramento County are investigating a local sheriff's deputy after he was caught on video beating a man with his flashlight on Tuesday after Tasing him and putting him on the ground, KCRA-TV reported.
"I think [the deputy] should get fired," said the man who filmed the incident, Michael White. "I think he should go to jail. I don't think administrative leave is enough."
White's footage shows the unidentified deputy putting his foot on 51-year-old John Madison Reyes' head before striking him in the back with his flashlight. The deputy can also be seen repeatedly hitting Reyes in the legs while Reyes is laying on the ground. The footage also shows the deputy ordering Reyes to turn onto his stomach while his knee is on Reyes' head.
"I'm trying to get on my stomach," Reyes can be heard saying. "I'm trying to."
Reyes was briefly taken into custody and cited for resisting arrest before being released. He told KCRA he approached the deputy because his patrol vehicle was blocking part of an intersection
"He glared at me and stared at me," Reyes said. "And then, I said an expletive, 'You need to move the car because I can't get through."
However, department spokesperson Sgt. Lisa Bowman told the Sacramento Bee that the deputy tried to handcuff Reyes as a safety precaution, citing 16 previous encounters with him. Bowman said the deputy approached Reyes first, as part of what is called a probation stop.
Reyes allegedly refused to comply despite the deputy using pepper spray and his Taser against him. Bowman said the deputy used the flashlight against him "in an attempt to control his hands."
"Let's face it, had the subject complied with the officer's directives from the initial contact and beyond, we wouldn't be sitting here talking about this today," Undersheriff Jaime Lewis told KCRA.
Watch footage of the encounter, as posted online on Thursday, below.

New Limerick GAA chief wants success
New Limerick GAA chairman Oliver Mann wants to see success on the pitch during his spell in charge.
Last Sunday Oliver Mann took up his third position on the Board but this time in the role he may have always wanted by becoming Chairman.
His rise to the top job has been fairly swift. The Patrickswell man said he was very honoured to fill such a role, "It's a great day for me and my club and I thank them for the support they have given me down the years and while we face many challenges ahead I am looking forward to working with you."
The new Chairman paid tribute to the officers leaving the County Board.
"Because of the five year rule we are losing people who have served the Board well. I want to pay tribute to Helen Crosse who, in her role as PRO, made a fine contribution. The same can be said of Pat Creed, Owen Hayes and Liam Lenihan. I wish them well, in particular Owen Hayes who has been ill, he worked very hard and I know we will not lose him as he will be Chairman of Feile na nGael next year".
During a wide ranging address Mann covered many areas but he paid special mention to the fact that Limerick schools are doing very well in both hurling and football and also had some words for our county teams.
"I would hope that we would win Division 1B of the National League and that our focus would be to win the Munster Championship in the next couple of years.
"I would like to see the football development plan fast tracked and I hope we can win promotion from Division 4 of the National Football League".
Going forward Oliver Mann called on people in Limerick GAA to respect each other, "We must have respect for each other at all levels, club and officials have to work together and it's my wish that we do that in the year ahead. Obama said 'yes we can' I want you to say 'yes we will'."

The main sources of supply in the U.S. leveraged finance market traded places this week, with leveraged loan volume dropping to its smallest weekly total all year while high yield bond issuance surged to its highest level in 5 weeks.
Leveraged loan issuance slipped to $3.5 billion this week from $5.8 billion last week, and from $13 billion the week before. While the slowdown is due in part to the Memorial Day holiday, the momentum the loan market has enjoyed for much of the past two years is clearly fading.
Indeed, U.S. loan funds this week saw their fifth straight withdrawal – a substantial $636 million - over the past six weeks after an unprecedented 95 straight weeks of net inflows, according to Lipper.
High yield bonds, on the other hand, are surging. Issuance jumped to $11.5 billion through Thursday from $8.6 billion the previous week (and there's a handful of deals on tap for today). And unlike the loan market, investors are putting money into bonds. U.S. high yield funds this week saw their third straight period of net inflows (a healthy $744 million), totaling $1.6 billion over that span.
With the slower market, higher-quality (double-B) new-issue yields were largely stable this week, at 4.45%, compared to 4.47% a week ago, though up noticeably from 4.02% two weeks ago, according to LCD's Chris Donnelly. Single-B yields increased to 5.27% from 5.20% last week as more-challenging credits continue to make their way through market, Donnelly says
In the bond market yields are sinking. The average new-issue yield on deals over the past 30 days slid to 6.06% this week from 6.78% at the end of April, according to LCD.

Skip to comments.Daily Reflections with Oswald Chambers [November 11, 2012]
Posted on 11/11/2012 4:44:33 AM PST by Vision
Gods command is, "Take now," not later. It is incredible how we debate! We know something is right, but we try to find excuses for not doing it immediately. If we are to climb to the height God reveals, it can never be done later it must be done now. And the sacrifice must be worked through our will before we actually perform it.
"So Abraham rose early in the morning . . . and went to the place of which God had told him" (Genesis 22:3). Oh, the wonderful simplicity of Abraham! When God spoke, he did not "confer with flesh and blood" (Galatians 1:16). Beware when you want to "confer with flesh and blood" or even your own thoughts, insights, or understandings anything that is not based on your personal relationship with God. These are all things that compete with and hinder obedience to God.
Abraham did not choose what the sacrifice would be. Always guard against self-chosen service for God. Self-sacrifice may be a disease that impairs your service. If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; or even if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him. If the providential will of God means a hard and difficult time for you, go through it. But never decide the place of your own martyrdom, as if to say, "I will only go to there, but no farther." God chose the test for Abraham, and Abraham neither delayed nor protested, but steadily obeyed. If you are not living in touch with God, it is easy to blame Him or pass judgment on Him. You must go through the trial before you have any right to pronounce a verdict, because by going through the trial you learn to know God better. God is working in us to reach His highest goals until His purpose and our purpose become one.
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was born July 24, 1874, in Aberdeen, Scotland. Converted in his teen years under the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, he studied art and archaeology at the University of Edinburgh before answering a call from God to the Christian ministry. He then studied theology at Dunoon College. From 1906-1910 he conducted an itinerant Bible-teaching ministry in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
In 1910, Chambers married Gertrude Hobbs. They had one daughter, Kathleen.
In 1911 he founded and became principal of the Bible Training College in Clapham, London, where he lectured until the school was closed in 1915 because of World War I. In October 1915 he sailed for Zeitoun, Egypt (near Cairo), where he ministered to troops from Australia and New Zealand as a YMCA chaplain. He died there November 15, 1917, following surgery for a ruptured appendix.
Although Oswald Chambers wrote only one book, Baffled to Fight Better, more than thirty titles bear his name. With this one exception, published works were compiled by Mrs. Chambers, a court stenographer, from her verbatim shorthand notes of his messages taken during their seven years of marriage. For half a century following her husband's death she labored to give his words to the world.
My Utmost For His Highest, his best-known book, has been continuously in print in the United States since 1935 and remains in the top ten titles of the religious book bestseller list with millions of copies in print. It has become a Christian classic.
Absolutely no flaming! These daily threads are intended to be devotional in nature. If a particular day's offering says nothing to you, please just go on and wait for the next day. Consider these threads a DMZ of sorts, a place where a perpetual truce is in effect and a place where all other arguments and disagreements from other times and places are left behind.
I can attest from personal experience that reading from Chambers daily will almost certainly change - not one's faith - but one's perspective of his/her own faith, and open up new vistas in your spiritual life. If - when - this happens to a reader of these threads, and they choose to share what has happened within them - we are treading on hallowed ground. Be respectful.

Iowa Weather
It doesn't matter if you are from Australia or Zimbabwe - Iowa weather is going to be a lot different than your home country. The Midwest section of the United States is famous for its extreme (and rapidly changing) weather. You will need to bring clothing for all seasons - from hot and steamy to cold and windy.
When you arrive in Iowa, it is likely to be very hot. If your room is not air conditioned, you should buy or borrow a fan. If you are unaccustomed to really hot, humid weather, be sure to drink plenty of water during exercise or outdoor activities. The combination of heat and humidity can make an 85-degree day seem well over 100 degrees. Take frequent breaks and rest in a shady place. You should also wear sunscreen if you are worried about getting sunburn.
The weather will start cooling off late in September; the days may stay fairly warm but the nights will be chilly. The leaves on the trees will start to change color, making our campus and community a very pretty place. Some people say this is their favorite time of year!
The days and nights will get significantly colder in November and December. It is very important that you dress appropriately for the weather. Do not rely on observing what other students wear - some of them go out of doors in sandals, even when there is snow on the ground. Wear what is comfortable (and sensible) for the conditions.
Students from countries with a warm climate often ask "How cold does it really get?" It's hard to believe that cold weather can be dangerous, but below-zero temperatures combined with strong winds can affect the "wind chill factor". A crisp, 20-degree day can actually feel almost 16 degrees colder, combined with a 20-mile per hour wind. During periods of extreme cold, you should wear a warm coat and cover all exposed skin. Hats, gloves and scarves are a necessity, along with a pair of sturdy boots.(Sometimes ice and snow can make walking a little tricky.) When the weather is bitterly cold with wind chills below zero, frostbite can occur in a matter of minutes. And snow? We usually don't get significant snowfall until later in the season (February is actually our snowiest month).
Springtime in Iowa is hard to predict: it's possible to have a 70-degree day in March, followed by a heavy snow the next day! Once the weather has warmed up, especially during the month of May, we become more alert to the possibility of severe thunderstorms or tornadoes. If a tornado warning is in effect a siren will sound. Rather than going outside to observe conditions, seek immediate shelter in the lowest level of the building you are in. The residence hall staff will explain emergency procedures for your building. Midwest storms are fascinating but deadly - they can form quickly with little warning and may be accompanied by strong winds, hail, heavy downpours of rain and lightning. If you feel compelled to witness a thunderstorm, do it from the safety of a room inside a building, away from windows. Never try to watch or chase a tornado.
If you do not own appropriate clothing for the weather in Iowa, or if you don't want to pack bulky coats and boots, you will have the opportunity to purchase these items inexpensively after you arrive.

Skip to comments.The Power of Words.
Posted on 01/16/2013 1:58:21 PM PST by Vanders9
There's so much bad news in the world now, especially for folk on our side of the political spectrum. So it's important to take a few minutes now and then to realise that it is not ALL doom and gloom out there.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I had just finished speaking to someone on the phone and he was saying that the problem with the GOP is that they cannot sell their message to the people.
It is true that our leaders are so dull that even if what they are saying makes sense, nobody wants to hear it.
He suggested that the republicans should hire a Public Relations firm to get their message out.
Just like this video shows, using the right words delivered by the right person can make a world of difference in getting the message out to the public.
The administration is in year round campaign mode and we should be also. We need the right messenger delivering the right message using the right words.
Agree with your analysis, oldbrowser. The current gun grab is being couched as curtailing gun violence, although it will do no such thing.
Not only do we not have good messaging, we have no messengers. The only ones that have any sizable audience are talk radio.....and they are not enough.

Product Description

Anne Carson's haunting and beautiful Nox is her first book of poetry in five years—a unique, illustrated, accordion-fold-out "book in a box."
Nox is an epitaph in the form of a book, a facsimile of a handmade book Anne Carson wrote and created after the death of her brother. The poem describes coming to terms with his loss through the lens of her translation of Poem 101 by Catullus "for his brother who died in the Troad." Nox is a work of poetry, but arrives as a fascinating and unique physical object. Carson pasted old letters, family photos, collages and sketches on pages. The poems, typed on a computer, were added to this illustrated "book" creating a visual and reading experience so amazing as to open up our concept of poetry. 50 color and black-and-white prints

Volunteer Groups - March
With the month of March comes Spring Breaks across the country. With those Spring Breaks come great college student groups to Furkids. How lucky are we?!
Simon | Featured Furkid
Note: A few weeks ago we featured a young cat named Simon. No, he did not age rapidly! This is our "Old Man Simon." He's a sweetheart.
My name is Simon. I'm an older gentleman who loves everyone. I want to be in the middle of someone's lap, table or desk and especially where you are working. In fact, I was sitting in the middle of this bio as it was being written. I will stick my nose in your cup, glass, or plate; rub my head against your chin; climb on your shoulders; or meow squeakily at you. I will do anything to get your complete attention. I am sweet and loving. Please consider meeting me today and taking to me to my forever home.
Simon's ID number is 11389. Contact us to make an appointment to meet Simon, or apply to adopt him now.

Volunteers Needed: PETCO Sandy Springs
Back in early January we posted a notice similar to this one asking for volunteers at one of our newest adoption centers -- PETCO Sandy Springs, located at 5938 Roswell Road NE.
We are posting again to ask for more wonderful, generous, appreciated volunteer support at this location.
Specific needs are :
Volunteer Manager -- someone to organize schedules, fill open shifts, and generally oversee the operations of the center. If you think you might be interested, we can arrange for you to speak with volunteer managers of other adoption centers, or you can e-mail our Volunteer Manager, Belinda Kach, at firstname.lastname@example.com to ask for more specifics. Someone to fill this volunteer need would be VERY appreciated.
We also need volunteers for the following days/times:
- Monday AM & PM
- Tuesday AM & PM
- Wednesday AM
- Friday AM
- Saturdays and Sundays
You can work as little as 1 hour per week or several hours. The amount of time you want to commit is up to you. The work is highly...READ MORE >
Double Adoption Day!
We get so excited when bonded pairs of cats get adopted together. Today, we sent Liliana and Devon off to their new forever home with their wonderful adopter.
A few months ago, Devon (left) and Liliana (right) were surrendered to Furkids by a long-time owner. These beautiful girls are 10 and 12 years old, so you can imagine how difficult it must have been for them to lose everything that was familiar to them. Soon after they arrived, it was discovered that Devon would have to have her left eye surgically removed due to cancer. She came through well after the surgery.
So it is with great joy that we get to see them off to a new home where they can be together and begin familiarizing themselves again with all the creature comforts of being adopted kitties -- a nice owner, beds, sofas, windows, etc.
What a great way to end our week! What a great way for Lacey, Liliana, and Devon to begin their weekend..and forever lives together! :-D
Simon | Featured Furkid
Little black & white Simon Cowell was born in August 2011 -- so he's a young one. He's a shelter favorite -- very easy going with a loving, sophisticated temperament. He is a mush-pie when turned on his back in your lap or arms to have a belly scratch until he dozes off.
He's a bit of a "diva" as he prefers fluffy beds for his naps and he is quite vocal when hungry. He likes to claim the feed dish before the others, gently pawing them to move over. He is also very attached to his scratching post and dangling toys.
This sweet little guy makes good eye contact with humans, is super gentle, and does well with children -- he is used to lots of holding. He has never been around dogs so it is unknown how he would do in a household with a dog.
Furkids staff will be the first to tell you that Simon will make you laugh with his silly antics and facial expressions. He was found homeless at 6 weeks old with three of his litter mates.
Simon is ready to join you! Contact us to make an...READ MORE >

Morningmist Hall was a temple to Lathander in Marsember, Cormyr.[1]
It was led by High Morninglord Chansobal Dreen and was served by 16 priests and 12 other staff members.[1]
It was described by Orblin of Hlondeth as "a bright light of hope in the dark heart of decadent Marsember."[2] It was situated on one of the city's sandy islands near its centre.[3] The walls of the hall were constantly lit by magical faerie fire.[1]

If you don't have any kids, or you have an only, you may be saying to yourself right now: How on earth could she say such a thing? She's a terrible mom...
But, if you have multiple little ones running around 24/7/365, then you may be singing: Yes! Yes, me too! I'm not the only one! Finally, someone said it out loud. I'm not crazy...
Do you want to know who my favorite child is?
My eight month-old.
Because she doesn't sass me. She doesn't leave a mess all over the floor for me to trip over. She doesn't scream in my face when I tell her she cannot have eleventy more crackers. She doesn't throw herself on the floor when I tell her she cannot watch four more hours of Sheriff Callie. She doesn't say things like, It's all your fault! or I don't want to brush my teeth--stop touching me! or my favorite, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Nope. My eight month-old doesn't do any of that.
Instead, she's sweet and smiley and cuddly and laughs at all my jokes and animal noises. And she doesn't run away when I sit her down on the floor.
But. Then comes nighttime, when my eight month-old is tired and fussy and plays The Don'tYouDareTakeMeOffTheBoobOrIWillScreamEvenLouder Game. Oh you know it? It's a Classic.
That's when I pass her off to Daddy and climb in bed with my SassyPants (a.k.a. my four year-old) and read books to her. That's when she gives me butterfly and Eskimo kisses and says things like, Today was the best day ever! or Daddy and I are getting married 'cuz we're in love! or my favorite, I love you the biggest much of all, Momma!
And that's when my four year-old is my favorite child.

Hi all. I recently discovered and began working on the list of Japanese artists. I'd like to make some pretty major changes to the format of the list, and I would like a little input before I go and do that and start a flame war and/or revert war for having acting unilaterally. Please take a look at Talk:List of Japanese artists and let me know what you think. LordAmeth 02:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I've added a Japan Quiz to the Portal. I invite the community to contribute questions to it.
I've improved the National Center Test for University Admissions (Center Shiken) article further. Although I translated the entire list of tests from the Japanese Wikipedia ja:大学入試センター試験, it's rather long and maybe unnecessary for our non-Japanese readers. How about a simplified list of subjects and tests? Or would it merit a different article? Also, the article's still not complete - if you can include information on the various problems with the Shiken (as listed on the Japanese wiki), please do so! Thanks - Tangotango 06:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I requested that Nanpa be moved to Nampa, mainly because I believe the latter is more common & better reflects the pronunciation, and also in part because someone raised an ambiguity issue with the North American Numbering Plan Administration.

Something called Orphanbot run by User:Carnildo is removing all unlicensed images from wikipedia. Under threat are various Japanese cities' ward maps eg. Image:Kitakyushu city.
Apparently these images are from the Japanese wikipedia. Fukuoka city's ward map has already gone and I guess a lot of others may be affected. Can anyone please give precise licenses for these useful images before they all disappear?

I agree with you. --Historian 07:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

We're having problems at the Shooto page with an anonymous IP user 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) constantly reverting a passage to (what I think is) an incorrect version. It's about the origin of the word 修斗 ("Shooto"), which is (according to the Japanese Wikipedia) an ateji of シュート (shūto). He keeps on insisting that "斗" (to) means "unit of volume" (okay, it does) and that the word 修斗 consequently doesn't mean anything at all. In his own words:
I don't think he understands the concept of an ateji, and I've explained to him what that is on his talk page User talk:22.214.171.124 (also see comments made by User:-Marcus- and me at the talk page) but all my messages have gone unanswered (and presumably ignored). I'm afraid to revert the page further lest I violate WP:3RR, and I'm not willing to treat this as simple vandalism, but I'm sure my version is correct. Can somebody fluent in Japanese please convince this fellow that he is, in fact, wrong? Thank you. - Tangotango 09:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't know how I missed it, but some time ago, someone added a list of notable members of the Minamoto clan to the clan's page. The names were not formatted properly ("Yoshitomo Minamoto" instead of "Minamoto no Yoshitomo" - has anyone ever seen it written like that?), and the list was very short, including some and excluding others, both notable and not.
Anyway, my intention is not to bitch this anonymous IP user out. I will take a little time right now to see if I can sort out which members of the clan are notable enough to be included on the list, and which might be removed.
Is it useful to have a sampling of notable members? Or a comprehensive list of all Minamoto? Or should we simply provide links to the Seiwa Genji and other branch family articles? Thanks for your ideas and suggestions. LordAmeth 17:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
For anyone who isn't already aware of it, we now have a WikiProject Japan. This is the place to list projects, requests, etc., for any Japan-related articles.

I have recently expanded Japanese clock from an uninformative stub. Some checking and technical assistance would be appreciated. Technical vocabulary for the old Japanese temporal hours would be nice, as would appropriate Japanese language terminology about traditional pre-Westernization clocks and timekeeping, from someone who (unlike myself) has the ability to type in Japanese. Checking to see if the article has a counterpart on ja: would be good also, and if anyone has access to appropriate pictures, they too would help a lot. Thanks. -- Smerdis of Tlön 17:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The district administration of Kiev had to apologize for a St. George ribbon on the website
The Solomensky district state administration of Kiev has published a photo of five years ago, where children are depicted with St. George ribbons. For that, officials had to apologize.
"The designer of the site did not notice the presence of the St. George ribbon on the image. The responsible person will bear disciplinary responsibility", — noted in administration.
Currently, the image is changed.Related posts:

Originally trained in her native Buenos Aires, Mariusa went on to study in Paris before receiving a scholarship to attend the School of the Duncan Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington, D.C. Mariusa recently passed away at the age of 104.
Mariusa (b. Ramirez) Verbrugghe was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1908. At the age of 16, she began her art training under French artist Leonie Matthis (1883-1952), who moved to Argentina in 1912 and soon became well known for her renditions of Buenos Aires during colonial times. Mariusa later went on to study with Argentine painters Aquiles Badi (1894-1976), who trained in Italy, and Horacio Butler (1897-1983), who studied in Germany.
As Mariusa's talent progressed, she traveled to Paris, where she enrolled at the Académie de la Grande Chaumičre. While in Paris, she also studied in the atelier of famed painters Vieira da Silva (1908-1990) and Arpad Szenes (1897-1985). Upon her return from Paris, she was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of the Duncan Phillips Memorial Gallery in Washington, D.C.
More recently, Mariusa moved with her family to Santa Barbara, CA, where she studied portraiture with Priscilla Bender-Shore and landscape with Irma Cavat. Since 1999, Sullivan Goss- An American Gallery has continued to regularly exhibit her paintings. Mariusa recently passed away at the age of 104.
Mariusa's recent paintings explore subtle variations in color, shape and light. She chooses simple objects from daily life, including bottles, flowers, fruits, and vases to create her still lifes of timeless beauty. Through her wispy brushstrokes and complimentary color choices, the artist transforms everyday objects into ethereal forms.
Mariusa's skilled color and shading techniques manage to capture the delicate nature of her subjects. Distinctions between forms in her paintings are often indistinguishable. While flower vases blend into backgrounds, books and fruits blur into mere shadows. In many cases, the figures in her paintings are on the verge of disappearance, perhaps suggesting the ephemeral nature of life and material objects.

Welcome to the 21st Century, Sue Lowden
After the yearlong debate about how to solve America's health-care problems, it seems we have an answer.
Sue Lowden, Republican hopeful for the Nevada Senate seat of Majority Leader Harry Reid, gave the media, the blogosphere, and late-night comedians something to chatter about this week when she said Americans should barter for health care. She harked back to those old days when our grandparents took chickens to the doctor.
"You know, before we all started having health care, in the olden days our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor, they would say I'll paint your house," she said. "I mean, that's the old days of what people would do to get health care with your doctors. Doctors are very sympathetic people. I'm not backing down from that system."
Talking heads, TV personalities, bloggers, and protesters—even the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee—jumped aboard the you-just-can't-make-this-stuff-up train and called out Lowden for her silly plan. The DSCC created Chickens for Checkup, allowing people to fill in a disease—rickets, scurvy, gout—and offer an exchange for care—10 chickens, two goats, 50 bushels of barley.
Since her original statement, Lowden hasn't backed down and even offered support from a doctor who claims to have bartered—alfalfa hay, a bathtub, yardwork, and horse shoeing—for care in the past.
Lowden says bartering isn't a new idea and could solve health-care problems; we just need to keep an open mind to all options.
It's not that this isn't a likely option for some, but it won't fix the rising cost of care nationwide or rescue families from bankruptcy. As one commentator put it, how many chickens would it take to pay for a CT scan? Mothers with sick children don't have time to work, care for their family, and put horseshoes on a doctor's stallion.
Keep up with this story and more by subscribing now
Our medical system isn't the same as it was before 1900, and doctors don't go to school for eight-plus years to get paid in chickens, barley, housework, etc. (Surely loan officers won't accept chickens as payment for those hefty medical-school loans.) This isn't a 19th-century problem, and a 19th-century solution won't help.
The right wing might be casting the Democrats' progressive plans as the enemy, but finding a legislative platform from the past couple of centuries isn't going to get anyone elected. Lowden may have a lead in the polls right now, but unless she admits her flub and moves on to offer practical, 21st-century ideas, her lead won't last very long.

It is no surprise that Silicon Valley, and the tech industry overall, is lacking diversity. The ongoing excuse: there are not enough skilled Black and Hispanic applicants. However, a new study proves that to be false.
According to data complied by the Computing Research Association, last year 4.5 percent of all new recipients of bachelor's degrees in computer science or computer engineering from top-ranking universities were African-American and 6.5 percent of new recipients were Hispanic. In 2012, a survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics showed that Blacks and Hispanics each made up nearly 9 percent of computer science graduates.
But after reviewing an annual Taulbee Survey, which includes 179 American and Canadian universities that offer doctorates in computer science and computer engineering, USA Today found only two percent of Blacks and three percent of Hispanics are currently employed at these tech industries.
Though the analysis doesn't overtly state discrimination, it does show a underrepresentation of color in the tech industry.
According to USA Today, one major problem is that tech companies mainly hire students from Stanford, UC-Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA and MIT, which causes recruiters to over look other great programs that has larger numbers of African-American and Hispanic students.

Teaching kids by getting out of their way
General Robotwalla emerges from the shadows.
Testing is a tool. A tool all too often misused because the results get confused with reality. But used correctly, student testing is very helpful.
For instance, would you begin teaching all kids about fractions? Most likely you'd want to know what they know already. If they can't count, might need to back up a bit. If they've mastered fractions, then skip it.
My wife uses all sorts of testing. Standardized testing, open response, pre-testing, journaling, etc. She uses it to craft what she is going to teach and how. Given that she has them set fires, build Rube Goldberg contraptions, and debate the history of genetic research, it would be hard to say she's teaching to the test. She uses testing as an input, not an output.
Car analogy: It's like checking the speedometer, listening to the engine, checking your mirrors, and scanning the road. Not because those are your goals. To know when to hit the gas or brakes, and when to swerve. To reach your goal of getting where you want to go. And sometimes going offroad works best.
Well, at least one can't make the argument this time around that it's a class of affluent kids with supportive parents willing to pay through the nose to get them into a school with excellent facilities and experimental teaching methods – as so often seems to be the case in articles of this nature. Still, there's a curious lack of details regarding disruptive kids. (The bad kind of disruptive.)
I'd still much rather trust my children to some possibly-broken system of tests than some poorly-implemented horror story like "whole math".
Check out the Montessori Education Method - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education - it's whole child.
Oh this sounds so wonderful and perfect. I'm not sure if every kid has an inner drive, but my own child, I've always felt from a very small age that she just knows exactly where she is going. Not in the sense that she has any idea of what she'll be doing at 20 or 30, but that at whatever age she is she knows exactly what she is supposed to be doing right then in and that all I have to do is observe and support her to get where she is going at that time.
I will say as someone who teaches yoga that it is very very hard to teach like this, and very inspiring when you are around a teacher who is. I took a workshop with a leader who really just listened to the group and sort of repeated back what we were learning from each other; I complimented her on that and learned she taught high school, then yoga for something like 30 years, so it takes a lot of confidence to not be scripted, to know how to mold a lot of little ideas in a group into a real shared experience.
All they're really doing is making sure they have the correct network in future life to rub shoulders with, glad hand eachother etc. The mutual recognition codes are verbal accents, garments, behavioural aspects - in short, a whole lot of impossible to emulate in totality and over an appropriate period of time characteristics that inform the inner circle who you are.
Paid education is a step up to a potentially easier life, but it wants to mould the kids to its own system. The British system was set up to feed the Empire administrative requirements. Obviously, doesn't need that any more, but many people are besotted with it.
Personally, I didn't give a damn how my kids are educated, so long as they can exploit the amazing potential they have, they don't exit screwed up by the system, and they can either make a decent dime or survive happily in the wilderness.
Moreover, one of Correa's students, a young girl named Paloma Noyola
Bueno, demonstrated extraordinary talent and appears to be some kind
of savant with incredible potential.
Is her achievement only astonishing because she is poor? Would a rich kid with the same results be called a savant... or clever?
She had the best math test score in the country. I assume the10 year old with the best math test score in the US is also called a savant or a genius.
Good point.
It's quite possible that there isn't a lot of truancy enforcement in which case the disruptive kids take care of themselves by not coming to school in the first place.
I'm not sure I understand your last sentence. The "possibly-broken system of tests" is arguably itself a "poorly-implemented horror story" to be likened to "whole math" rather than contrasted with it. They're both examples of "educational reform" -- changes to curricula imposed by people and organizations without much classroom experience for largely theoretical reasons and without much consultation with the folks on the front lines (i.e. actual teachers) who will ultimately have to implement these "reforms".
Bear in mind that, with the exception of the NY state Regents examinations, the heavy focus on testing and data in primary and secondary education is a fairly new and untested phenomenon in education. There's obviously some good reasons for thinking that the test data could be used to improve education in the long-run but there's also the risk that the tests are more like the streetlight in the old story about the drunk searching for his keys.
Testing is like guns - a tool which has many good uses, and can be abused. Like guns, the abuse is so dangerous and awful that it outweighs most benefits.
I'm a boomer, so when I went to school, they didn't particularly teach to a test, nor did they allow us any freedom. In fact, the teaching philosophy was that children were, by default, dangerous, rather disgusting, little savages, who needed to be dragged kicking and screaming into civilized adult society.
This was also a time (cf Mad Men) when there were places meant for adults, where children were only tolerated if they acted in a disciplined, adult manner; and then only grudgingly. It is a modern innovation that everyone must tolerate other people's children everywhere except possibly strip clubs - and, in an age when Hooters has a children's menu, are even they far off?
w00t! Team Montessori, FTW!
It's been great for our kiddo. Though it doesn't work for everyone, I'd say.
Anyone interested in the idea that we should "get out of the way" and let children direct their own education, owes it to themself to find and read a copy of A. S, Neill's 'Summerhill'. Lots of used copies floating around.
When I taught in graduate school it finally came to my attention that those freshmen who did the work for themselves, were self directed, they did well, and those who were there without purpose would be lost I finally got it. Self direction is a goal we need to employ when raising kids, they need to own their homework and school work.
Which makes me batshit crazy when my kids kindergarten teacher gets on me for my little 5 year old not returning homework, why the hell is the child required to do homework in the first place even if it is coloring? ANYWAY, I have four kids and do not have time to attend or push them to do the work, they do it and I may give it a once over if asked but they are in charge. The teachers have not caught on yet that I am not doing it nor pushing them and they congratulate me on being an attentive parent. Internal eyeroll every time, so hard to stop myself. All I do is push an early bedtime, order (as in chaos does not reign, free time with time limits), family meals and unorganized freetime. That is pretty much what you need to do.
...answers that are close to correct are good enough...
Sounds like "whole math" is teaching them to be physicists...
Sounds like it demands a higher level of competency than many of my teachers had. They need to know their subjects at a deep enough level to cope with, and guide the development of, nonstandard ways of doing things.
The more I think about it, the less I think there is really to be said about how education ought to work. The great victory for public education in the 19th century was establishing the principle that children should be exempted from grueling physical labor for a few hours every day. The great defeat for public education was the requirement that children be subjected to strict discipline and be droned at for those hours. Progressive education reforms always aimed at preserving the former and eliminating the latter.
Most of what goes on in public education, I believe, is preparation for most of what goes on in adult life: we waste a whole lot of time on tasks that we all know are pointless.
Every important thing I know, I learned because I became passionate about it.
That is what we tell ourself, but it's most certainly not true. Passion makes it easier, but there is stuff we hate to learn but we must and do.

29 June 2012

Emergency response teams from the British Red Cross have been busy today, responding to disasters in the north of England, East Anglia, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Following flooding in Belfast today, Belfast City Council asked local Red Cross FESS (fire and emergency support service) teams to attend the flooded homes of a number of south Belfast families facing particularly difficult circumstances. Among those the Red Cross volunteers helped was a young child suffering from a respiratory illness.
Red Cross FESS volunteer Clive Hamilton said: "Flooding is traumatic for any household but for some families it can have immediate health implications too.
"We have been on standby with our specially adapted mobile home, which usually responds to households affected by serious house fires. It gives people who've had to leave their home somewhere safe and dry to sit until alternative accommodation is found."
Workmen in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire hit a gas pipe, causing a gas leak. Around twenty people from the affected residential area were evacuated to a rest centre where the Red Cross provided practical and emotional support.
Late on Thursday night, Newcastle was hit by flooding. Red Cross volunteers were called in to help at a rest centre, and three Red Cross ambulances sprang into action to support the local ambulance service.
Following the explosion that ripped through a residential area of Oldham on Tuesday, the Red Cross is helping people at an assistance centre that has been set up in Shaw, Greater Manchester. Volunteers are providing hot drinks and food, and helping process the large number of donations arriving at the centre.
The Red Cross has submitted a document to DFID showing how we ensure our safeguarding policies are being implemented effectively.
This is a statement by the British Red Cross in response to allegations of sexual misconduct in the aid sector.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Volvo is rolling out its new Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines for the 2015 model year. Based on a 2.0-liter four-cylinder design, the VEA will be built in several gas and diesel variants, with high-performance hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-wheel-drive models arriving later. Motivation for the 2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E comes from the most powerful VEA gas engine: a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 mated to an eight-speed automatic. Although this type of twin-charging isn't a new concept, tuning the two power-adders to work together smoothly is no easy task.The twin-charged 2.0-liter I-4 and a new eight-speed automatic supplant the turbocharged 3.0-liter I-6 and six-speed auto in the outgoing S60 T6 model. Despite the inherent differences between the two powerplants, peak horsepower and torque are reached at similar revs. The new engine produces 302 hp at 5700 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 2100 rpm, while the outgoing 3.0-liter I-6 makes 300 hp at 5600 rpm and 325 lb-ft at 2100 rpm. (The 2015 S60 T6 R-Design AWD is still powered by a 325-hp, 354 lb-ft turbo 3.0-liter I-6.) Instant boost from the Eaton supercharger gives the 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E a strong torque hit below 3500 rpm, giving the BorgWarner turbocharger time to spool up for the top-end pull to redline. Other than the lack of supercharger whine at higher engine speeds, the changeover from supercharger to turbocharger is seamless. The twin-charged powerplant doesn't sound as strong as it feels, thanks to its smooth power delivery just off idle to the top of the rev range.In addition to the new engine and eight-speed automatic, the Drive-E engine also features direct injection, integrated start/stop, and an Eco mode that contribute to a significant improvement in fuel economy, according to Volvo. Although official EPA estimates haven't been released, the automaker claims the S60 T6 Drive-E sedan's twin-charged powertrain is capable of 24/35 mpg city/highway – a sizable improvement over the front-drive 2014 S60 T5's 21/30 mpg and the all-wheel-drive S60 T6's 18/25 mpg EPA-estimated ratings.At the dragstrip, the 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E sprinted to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and cleared the quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at 101.8 mph – that's an 0.3-second improvement in both tests as well as a 3.1-mph higher trap speed over our former long-term 300-hp 2012 Volvo S60 T6 AWD. At 108 feet, the 2015 S60 stopped two feet shorter than the 2012 model. In handling, the front-drive 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E lapped the figure eight in 26.3 seconds at 0.71 g average and pulled 0.88 g around the skidpad. Those numbers are only slightly off the all-wheel-drive 2012 S60 T6 sedan's 26.2 second lap at 0.68 g average and 0.89 g around the figure eight and skidpad, respectively.Those performance numbers also are comparable to our previous long-term rear-drive 2012 BMW 328i Sport with 240 hp and 255 lb-ft. That manual-transmission Bimmer reached 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and finished the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 98.2 mph. Braking from 60 mph took 113 feet. In handling, the 328i Sport matched the 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E's 26.3-second figure-eight lap, but averaged a slightly slower 0.70 g, though it pulled a slightly higher 0.89 g around the skidpad. Despite the power difference, the price difference is in the Volvo's favor. With a base price of $39,075, our 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E tester starts $1650 less than the 2014 BMW 328i Sport's base price of $40,725.In addition to having impressive track numbers, the 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E feels quick and surefooted on the street. Despite being front-drive, the 2015 S60 T6 Drive-E puts the power down well even while accelerating up curved onramps and on interchanges. In daily driving, the changeover from supercharger to turbo is imperceptible and the eight-speed automatic shifts smoothly even in Sport mode. With a base price of $39,075 (including $925 destination) our 2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E tester topped out at $47,925. The option list includes $550 metallic paint, $1250 BOR diamond-cut 19-inch alloy wheels and lower sport suspension, $800 active HID headlights with washers, $500 heated front seats, the $3350 Platinum trim (navigation with real time traffic, Volvo Premier sound system, auto dimming interior and exterior mirrors, accent lighting, HomeLink integrated garage door opener, power folding side mirrors, rearview camera, grocery bag holder), $1500 Technology Package (adaptive cruise control with queue assist, collision warning with full auto brake, pedestrian/cyclist detection with auto brake, distance alert and driver alert control, lane departure warning, active high-beam assist, road sign information), and $900 Blind Spot Information Package (blind-spot information system, cross-traffic alert, lane-change merge aid, front and rear park assist).A few quibbles with the technology: The lane-departure warning system interprets strips of slurry patches — or other random road oddities – as lane markers, prompting correction, and the distance alert and driver alert control system is a bit aggressive in Los Angeles traffic. Fortunately, these can be turned off if not needed. All that safety technology helps the 2015 Volvo S60 earn a five-star (out of five stars) crash rating from the NHTSA and the refreshed 2014 S60 is considered a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS.Without low-speed lag or dropoff at high rpm, the 2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E's twin-charged 2.0-liter four-cylinder feels like a much larger naturally aspirated engine. Even more impressive is how smooth the new eight-speed automatic works with the engine as it seamlessly transitions between the supercharger and turbocharger. We look forward to testing the all-wheel-drive model, whether the rear wheels are mechanically driven or electrically driven with the new hybrid/plug-in hybrid technology. 2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E BASE PRICE $39,075 PRICE AS TESTED $47,925 VEHICLE LAYOUT Front-engine, FWD, 5-pass, 4-door sedan ENGINE 2.0L/302-hp/295-lb-ft supercharged DOHC 24-valve I-4 TRANSMISSION 8-speed automatic CURB WEIGHT (F/R DIST) 3687 lb (63/37%) WHEELBASE 109.3 in LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT 182.5 x 73.4 x 58.4 in 0-60 MPH 5.4 sec QUARTER MILE 13.9 sec @ 101.8 mph BRAKING, 60-0 MPH 108 ft LATERAL ACCELERATION 0.88 g (avg) MT FIGURE EIGHT 26.3 sec @ 0.71 g (avg) EPA CITY/HWY/COMB FUEL ECON 24/35/28 mpg ENERGY CONS., CITY/HWY 140/96 kW-hrs/100 miles CO2 EMISSIONS 0.69 lb/mile Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E First Test /30 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 30 2 | 30 3 | 30 4 | 30 5 | 30 6 | 30 7 | 30 8 | 30 9 | 30 10 | 30 11 | 30 12 | 30 13 | 30 14 | 30 15 | 30 16 | 30 17 | 30 18 | 30 19 | 30 20 | 30 21 | 30 22 | 30 23 | 30 24 | 30 25 | 30 26 | 30 27 | 30 28 | 30 29 | 30 30 | 30

4 memory cards 2 X 251 and 2 X 59 all original and 51 games. My collection is a bit depleted at the moment as I used 16 as part-ex in the 'Game Half Term Special'. Prior to that I put a futher 13 games in part-ex to purchase 4 new titles.
The titles I used for part-ex were the shit like Turok Mary-Kate and Ashley etc; which I picked up relatively cheap. I can't help myself, when I'm out shopping if I see what I believe is a bargain I'll buy it.
I thought I'd got the bargain of the year when I purchased the 1019 memory card at Ł5.99, all my saves on one card with over 400 blocks remaining, I lost the F**cking lot.

It looks as though we all owe Jay and Yeezy another thank you. The success of their collaboration on Watch The Throne (which narrowly avoided taking the top spot as our album of the year) has inspired long-dormant comedians Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock to take the stage together.
Vulture caught up with Rock at Sundance, where he is debuting his Julie Delpy indie 2 Days In New York and the comedian admitted that rumors that him and Chappelle had some validity.
"I've been talking to Chappelle a lot. Been trying to get Chappelle to go on tour," Rock said.
According to Rock, the tour hinges on Chappelle's thumbs up. "You know I'm not the hard one," he said to Vulture, while laughing. "But I'm trying to make that happen. After seeing Kanye and Jay-Z, I was like, 'Me and Dave should do this.'"
A hot ticket like that? We'd have Ticketmaster on speed dial, because that show would sell out even faster than the WTT tour did.
