New Agreement Between UW, LCCC Will Benefit Transfer Students
A new agreement between the University of Wyoming and Laramie County Community College allows students transferring to UW to count more of their community college courses toward their bachelor's degrees.
Through the new "1=1 articulation" students who complete a general education core at LCCC and transfer to UW will have already completed the UW University Studies Program, eliminating the need for students to retake courses to meet that requirement.
LCCC President Joe Schaffer says the articulation will help more LCCC students transfer to UW without an associate's degree.
"Because of our close proximity to UW, especially with our Albany County campus, we have students who transfer early with just their general education. Historically, though, when they transferred, if they didn't have the 60-plus credit associate degree, they couldn't demonstrate they met the UW university studies program, making them susceptible to the requirement of retaking general education courses," says Schaffer.
"Many students come to LCCC just for their general education courses before transferring, and they will see the most benefit," says Schaffer.
Two years of work by faculty and administration at both schools to redesign their respective general education programs with a focus on student learning outcomes occurred simultaneously, allowing the institutions to work together on the new articulation agreement.
"The university's new USP was a product of several years of intense effort by our faculty and administration, and we are quite happy with the result," says Anne Alexander, UW's associate vice president for undergraduate education. "It's wonderful to see that our revised program is right in line with one of our excellent community college partners."

NEW BLUE EYED SOUL: RAG'N'BONE 2 POST MALONE feat. ZZ Ward
Racism is alive and casting lots of un-wellness among the people of our nation. While millions find it hard to believe… "Stay Woke," as it's when one is blind that ye suffers most. Through it all – racism then and now – multi-millions come together through music…
The James Bond 007 franchise has been around for 50 years now. Whether you're young, old, white, black, Asian or Latino, if you love action movies with lots of sex and spy drama, you're no doubt a "Bond, James Bond" fan. Practically a genre unto itself via the films and the music, 'James Bond', has been a mainstay for movies in countries around the world.
The FUNK of Amy Winehouse / The Art of BLUE-Eyed SOUL
Soul Singer and Rock Star Amy Winehouse has passed away. Although she was only 27, she made an indelible impression on the world of music amidst her short lived career. Her debut CD "Frank" virtually went unnoticed initially in the United States, but by the time it hit the streets of London back in 2003, she was already a well known performer in the UK community. Her 2006 release, "Back to Black," put her on the proverbial map and earned her six Grammy nominations that resulted in five wins.
The James Brown Interview – Merry FUNKIN' Christmas
First I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to my cousin, friend and sister in FUNK Loreen for her tireless efforts to make this James Brown interview and all the others posted possible.

Supes Give Thumbs Up to Prop. 19
Humboldt County Supervisors voted 4-0 with Jimmy Smith abstaining to support Proposition 19. Earlier this week, 3rd Dist. Supervisor Mark Lovelace recommended that the board not take a position on the initiative which legalizes marijuana. According to the Times Standard,
"Proposition 19 provides only for legalization without regulation, which is a recipe for chaos," the document said. "Lacking concurrent action by the state to develop and implement a full regulatory framework for the commercial production, sale and distribution of marijuana, the Board of Supervisors takes no position on Proposition 19."
However, today Lovelace joined the board in voting to recommend passage of 19.
UPDATE: Press Release from HuMMAP
Going further than a "no position" endorsement recommendation by Supervisor Mark Lovelace, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors today voted 4-0 to endorse Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010 that will be on the Nov. 2 California ballot.
Syreeta Lux, Chair of HuMMAP (Humboldt Medical Marijuana Advisory Panel) spoke at the meeting, enjoining the board to, at a minimum, support 19 with reservations. Although the proposition isn't perfect, it's a step forward and what Humboldt's economy needs, she said, adding "We are ready and able to help you if you let us."
Supervisor Bonnie Neely then spoke, charging the Board to support the measure, noting that they had a history of supporting legalization. She hearkened to an August 2007 letter the Board sent to Rep. Mike Thompson asking for legalization and taxation at a federal level.
Breaking the silence afterwards, Southern Humboldt Supervisor Clif Clendendon spoke, stating, "I'm going to just say that I agree. I support Proposition 19." Neely moved to support the proposition and Supervisor Jill Geist, who hadn't spoke, seconded it.
"I feel proud of our Board," Lux said. "We made some real headway today."

There is a school of thought that authors and would-be authors have to build a web presence first, before publishing, but I think that's an idea that comes from a marketing dept, not necessarily a writer...

It is never easy for an author ... well, occasionally it is, but not in the long run.
For me, and I suspect many authors, creating a novel is not about striving as in the world of business, but producing thoughts and ideas into becoming a tangible book which, hopefully, will bring pleasure to those who identify with the words and characters and the journey they take.
Inasmuch, blogging is an extension, also something preciously created, of an author's mind and, as such, I feel that it should be a delight to read and share.
Your posts are always a delight and I wish you continued success without the commercial pressure.
And, Stephen is right.
Looking at your titles, Deborah, I always come back to The Art of Falling, which i have read many times. It is one of my personal classics!

Your comments about how blogging has changed are spot-on. Every day I get a barrage of emails from publicists hoping for a review of the latest direct-to-video micro budget gore-fest. I have no interest in these types of films, and if I wanted to be frightened out of my wits I'd simply read a newspaper. Blogging was supposed to be fun, not a job. My rant has no point, other than to say thanks for your cathartic post, and providing us with wonderful content to review.Bunched Undieshttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-70781385734779630572017-08-09T09:32:06.546-07:002017-08-09T09:32:06.546-07:00Hi Stephen, I'm sure you are right.

The competition has never been so intense, and mainstream publishing is in all kinds of trouble, from all directions. But just so you never think I am keeping it from you -- ;) -- the first step is to find an agent who believes in your book. Literary agents do a lot more now than they ever did, in terms of preparing a book for submission to publishers who won't usually look at anything that doesn't come via an agent. So you need several pieces of the puzzle to fall into place at this stage: a good book; willingness to do further work on it; finding an agent you can work with, and who can work with you (this relationship is going to have to be solid); a belief that if you get the first book published, there will be more of equal or better quality to come. Oh, and quite a bit of luck! Hope that's a little bit helpful, at least.

I wrote a novel a few years ago, during the "NaNoWriMo" challenge, and it's still sitting here doing nothing, as I have no idea whatsoever what to do with it.

What I find frustrating is the lack of information "out there" regarding how to find a publisher (or is it an agent, or an editor, that one needs first?). There seems to be a magic formula, or boxes that one has to tick, in order to gain access, but everyone that knows the secret doesn't want to give it away, and everyone that doesn't know the secret is in the same boat with me.

Makes me wonder how many interesting stories may be sitting on a home computer somewhere, collecting virtual dust, because the writer has no idea what to do with it.

Despite over 100 objections from local residents and Councillors the planning committee narrowly voted to grant planning permission to Tesco, to replace its existing store at Cannon Park with a new Tesco Extra, providing it met conditions including providing community funding, traffic measures, and restricting the residential blocks to three stories.
Local residents were concerned traffic would clog up already congested roads and that the partial closing of De Montfort Way would force elderly and disabled residents to use a "dangerous" new walkway through an underground car park, as well as crossing six lanes of traffic.

I Hate the Current Crop of MLKers
What a crock of crap these jerk-offs are as they "pretend" to "push" MLK's Dream. Really.
Check the 53 photos and you tell me what kind of ignorant morons these hewers are. Have they never listened to MLK's Dream video? I have a dream as well and just like MLK, my Dream focuses on the United States COnstitution and not some racist like Al Not-So-Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the idiot that was censured some time ago in the US Congress...not that he ever gave a damn about the USC.
Most MLKers hate George Washington and love George Soros the atheist Jew Beast.
Like I have said many times, I HATE the theoretical MLKers that espouse racism, cling to racism and then blame all others for being what they all are - racists.
The monument of George Washington was concealed from the crowd during the annual King Day at the Dome rally.
The NAACP says no insult to Washington was intended - the three-sided structure that covered the front and sides of the statue was intended to display a rally graphic.
Right. No insult was "intended". Right. And they aren't racists, either. Perhaps they could have made the meetiing in another location instead of covering up the man they all hate?

Stories From The Trail
Date: 09/15/2011
Distance: 5.03 miles
Pace: 9:50/mile
Route: Splash Park
Song that got me started: "Lights (Bassnectar Remix)" by Ellie Gouling
Song that got me through the wall: "Anchor" by Satelites & Sirens
Song that brought me home: "Fantastic Voyage" by Coolio
The great thing about this route, the one I affectionately call "Splashpark," is that it takes me through so many people. There are times when you want to see people,. and times you want solitude when you run. I only take this route when I want people interaction. This route takes me through Downtown Plymouth (I get to run by the fountain) and then out of town to a park with a splashpark in it. In the summer this route was always buzzing with people. Whether it was diners at restruants in Plymouth to millions of kids getting soaked, this route was jammed with people.
As the temperature has dropped, and my weekday runs start finishing in the dark, I have been seeing less people. Today, it was an eerily lonesome run. Don't get me wrong, there are times when I want solitude on a run, but I was not expecting this much on this route. Usually I have to dodge around people strolling through Plymouth, and get strange looks from people eating dinner on the patios of restaurants. Today, I just breezed through. The strange looks I think are a kind way of people saying... "You are waaaay to big to be running." It is not often that you see a 6'1", broad shouldered, 250lb man running through the streets, so I can understand their slight amazement.
I also like running this route because I feel that I run better when people are watching. Sad to say, but a little exterior motivation is always a good thing. Usually on this route I am always by people except for maybe miles 3 and the start of 4, so there is always a bunch of people to look "fast" for. Don't try and pretend you are better then that. I am convinced we all try to show off a little when we know others are around. Who hasn't picked up the pace a little when a "ruunerguy" or "runnergal" comes around the corner speeding along at 7"30/mile towards you. I know I do.
So my question to you, dear reader is whether you like solitude or company on a route? What are some characteristics of your favorite route?
3 comments:
My favorite route takes me from my house downtown Plymouth and back. I too go around the fountain. I don't mind people, but what I really like to see is other runners. Then it feels like we are all in it together. What I don't like is accidentally scaring people as I come up from behind, I sure don't feel like a quiet runner but apparently I am. I scared two old ladies BAD a few years back so now if I have any doubt I work up a cough as I approach so they hear something.ReplyDelete
I am always shouting "On your left" for like 20 feet as I approach someone from behind You are right though, people freak out and half the time they jump right into your path. Pays to be a loud runner.
Congratulations on the new blog, JD! I like it. I've been thinking for a while that your Facebook posts about running would be great material for a running blog, and now here you are.ReplyDelete
I too love seeing other runners out there. I always want to say something like "good job" or "keep it up," but I'm afraid they'll think I'm being sarcastic or strange for saying anything. So mostly I just try to make eye contact and smile.
Oh, and one more thing: if we run on Sunday, please don't kick my butt! We both know you're in much better running shape than me, Mr. 5 miles ;-)

Emerging market shares soared for a seventh day as anxiety in Russia and Iraq calmed and US housing starts rose.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbed 0.6% to 1,083.76 as of 1:33 pm in New York. Akbank TAS, a bank, was the best performer in the second day of an upward trend in the Borsa Istanbul 100 Index. The Micex gauge stretched its longest rally since Sept. 11 as OAO Moscow Exchange advanced to a six-week high. Ibovespa gained to the highest level since March.
Figures released on Tuesday showed US housing starts rose in July to the highest point in eight months, highlighting the recent surge in developer optimism as the residential real-estate market adds some momentum.
The Red Cross reported it is close to formulating details of a safe-corridor plan for a Russian humanitarian aid convoy in southeastern Ukraine, as Kurdish and Iraqi forces regained control of the largest dam in Iraq from Islamic State insurgents.
"Some of the geopolitical tensions which had rattled the markets over the last couple of weeks seem to be easing, with regards to Ukraine in particular," William Jackson of Capital Economics Ltd told Bloomberg from London.
The measure for developing markets has soared 8.1% this year and its value stands at 11.3 times estimated 12-month earnings, the most costly point since April 2011, data compiled by Bloomberg showed. The MSCI World Index has climbed 4.4% in 2014 and exchanges at a multiple of 14.9.
According Business Recorder, EnergoKapital analysts expect the solid gains posted by Russian stocks over the past week to be followed by a short but drastic correction.
"But we aren't seeing an acute deterioration in the news backdrop, and therefore we expect the buying mood will remain from the start of trading,"the analysts said.
Russian markets have been affected by the fallout due to the Ukraine crisis.

Apple finally took wraps off the much-rumored Apple iPhone X at its September 12 event, alongside the Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. The Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are small upgrades to last year's iPhone 7 and 7 Plus with wireless charging, faster processors, improved cameras, and glass body.
What made the event special is the Apple iPhone X, which is pronounced as Apple iPhone Ten (10). This iPhone X also symbolizes as the 10th anniversary iPhone.
Apple thinks that this iPhone will revolutionize the smartphone industry for the next 10 years, but the fact is, Apple is far behind the competition because several other smartphones already feature all these features.
But most of them are first for an iPhone. Here are the top features which make the Apple iPhone X the best iPhone ever.
Table of Contents
1) Edge-to-Edge Design
With the Apple iPhone X, the Cupertino giant joins the edge-to-edge display party in style. The iPhone X introduces a revolutionary design with a stunning all-screen display that precisely follows the curve of the device, clear to the elegantly rounded corners.
The all-glass front and back feature the most durable glass ever (as claimed by Apple) in a smartphone in silver or space gray, while a highly polished, surgical-grade stainless steel band seamlessly wraps around and reinforces iPhone X.
Using a stainless steel band surely increases the sturdiness of a smartphone.
A seven-layer color process allows for precise color hues and opacity on the glass finish, and a reflective optical layer enhances the rich colors, making the design as elegant as it is durable while maintaining water and dust resistance.
2) 5.8-inch Super Retina Display
The display on the Apple iPhone X is a 5.8-inch Super Retina display, which is the first OLED panel used in any smartphone. This Super Retina display delivers stunning colours, true blacks, and also has support for HDR.
The HDR display supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, which together make photo and video content look even more amazing. The addition of True Tone (which can be found in Apple iPads), dynamically adjusts the white balance of the display to match the surrounding light for a more natural, paper-like viewing experience.
3) Face ID
7 Features That Make Apple iPhone X Best iPhone Ever – So, the Apple iPhone X ditches the TouchID which Apple introduced with the iPhone 5S. The Face ID revolutionizes authentication on iPhone X. It uses a state-of-the-art TrueDepth camera system made up of a dot projector, infrared camera, and flood illuminator, using the A11 Bionic to accurately map and recognize a face.
These advanced depth-sensing technologies work together to securely unlock iPhone. Further, we can use the Face ID for Apple Pay, gain access to secure apps and many more new features. Developers can also take advantage of the Face ID.
"Face ID projects more than 30,000 invisible IR dots. The IR image and dot pattern are pushed through neural networks to create a mathematical model of your face and send the data to the secure enclave to confirm a match while adapting to physical changes in appearance over time.
All saved facial information is protected by the secure enclave to keep data extremely secure, while all of the processing is done on-device and not in the cloud to protect user privacy. Face ID only unlocks iPhone X when customers look at it and are designed to prevent spoofing by photos or masks," this is what Apple says about the new Face ID technology.
4) Apple A11 Bionic Chip
The Apple A11 Bionic Chip is the latest chipset from the house of Apple. This a 6-core chipset, a first in any Apple chip. It's extremely powerful, in fact, the chipset achieved higher scores than an Apple Macbook.
The Apple A11 Bionic chip is 70% faster than the Apple A10 Fusion chipset. The A11 Bionic also integrates an Apple-designed GPU with a three-core design that delivers up to 30 percent faster graphics performance than the previous generation. All this power enables incredible new machine learning, AR apps and immersive 3D games.
5) Wireless Charging
7 Features That Make Apple iPhone X Best iPhone Ever – As said earlier, the Apple iPhone X comes with a glass back. The glass back design enables a world-class wireless charging solution. Wireless charging works with the established Qi ecosystem, including two new wireless charging mats from Belkin and mophie.
6) Customised iOS 11 for Apple iPhone X
Apple redesigned the iOS 11 in the iPhone X to take full advantage of the Super Retina display. The iOS 11 gestures replace the Home button in the iPhone X with fast and fluid gestures, allowing customers to naturally and intuitively navigate iPhone X. Simply swipe up from the bottom to go home from anywhere. Swipe and delay to open the recent apps menu.
7) Animoji
The Apple iPhone X's cameras support AR technology, which brings us to the all-new interactive Animoji AR system. The TrueDepth front-facing camera of the iPhone X brings emojis to life in a fun way with Animoji.
Working with A11 Bionic, the TrueDepth camera captures and analyzes over 50 different facial muscle movements, then animates those expressions in a dozen different Animoji, including a panda, unicorn, and robot. Available as an iMessage app pre-installed on iPhone X, customers can record and send Animoji messages with their voice that can smile, frown and more. This is more fun!
These are the seven standout features in the new Apple iPhone X. Which is your favorite feature? Let us know in the comments section below.

Institute for Creation Research Graduate School v. Paredes et al.
This page collects the legal documents from the case Institute for Creation Research Graduate School v. Raymund A. Paredes et al.
The ICR Graduate School is "an unincorporated educational ministry unit of The Institute for Creation Research, Inc." The defendants are officers of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board; Raymund Paredes is the CEO of the Board and Texas Commissioner of Higher Education. The ICR Graduate School filed two separate suits, one in Texas state court, and another in federal court, in the Northern District of Texas. The suits are identical, save for the fact that the Board itself is named as an additional defendant in the state court suit. The latter suit has been removed to federal court in the Western District of Texas. Judge Jane J Boyle is presiding over the federal case in the Northern District, and Judge Sam Sparks over that in the Western District.
All the legal documentation available to us for these cases is provided at the bottom of this page. It is arranged by case, and secondarily by chronological order.
Note: A number of documents were submitted to the Western District Court by the ICR Graduate School with the heading "Northern District of Texas: Austin Division." This division of the Northern District does not exist. We have assumed that the reference to "Northern District" is erroneous, and have accordingly titled these documents as belonging to the Western District case.

This week, IMAA has the pleasure of hosting artists, Caner Aslan and Pippa Koszerek who are here at Islington Mill for short residencies.
Caner has travelled all the way from Istanbul and is here at the mill for 10 days. We first saw Caners work in last years Berlin Biennale when we were in the city organising the Free Art School at Westgermany. Caner has recently taken part in 'Straw Poll', a poster exhibition in the windows of shops and other premises along Chapel St. in Salford, coinciding with the 'Sounds from the Other City' festival.
Pippa is here for the first of three visits to Islington Mill, which are to take place over the next two months. Her work involves the creation of organisations as artworks/curatorial projects such as the Independent Art School (1999-) and The Unasked-for-Public Art Agency (2006-).

Alzheimer's Care Near Saint Louis, MO
St. Louis has a population of about 319,000 residents. Its presence along the mighty Mississippi River allowed it to be one of the major hubs for business in the Midwest, and even though the city's economy has diversified, the river still plays a major role in the city's personality. Residents can enjoy the majesty of the massive river by visiting the city's iconic St. Louis Arch and riding a bucket to its top. The Arch is also home to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, a museum that highlights the country's Western growth and the exploration exploits of Lewis and Clark. The city is also famous for having one of the most renowned zoos in the world. And sports fans will also note that St. Louis is also home to the St. Louis Cardinals (MLB), the St. Louis Rams (NFL), and the St. Louis Blues (NHL).
In essence, the memory care communities that are found in St. Louis are relatively similar to assisted living communities, but with a much higher level of care and supervision. With memory care, the residential seniors may need assistance with some of the more rudimentary activities that they need in order to get through the day. Some of the functions that would fall under this umbrella include dressing, bathing, cooking, and cleaning. And each memory care facility employs a high-quality medical staff that is fully trained to provide that aid.
With that being said, the staff is also trained to enable seniors to go about their business independently as best as they can. This hands-off approach will help the golden agers remain sharp and lively; just as importantly, it will enable them to hold firm to their dignity.
Ultimately, the memory care facilities in St. Louis are geared to help seniors with chronic memory impairment to live in a dignified environment. Just as importantly, they are geared to provide families of the residential seniors the peace of mind that they may be looking for.

Tampa and Sarasota AC Repair for Data Centers. –
How can retrofitting or repairing your Tampa or Sarasota data center AC system save you money? Let us count the ways! Outdated or sluggish systems are not only bad for the environment, they burn up your wallet.
Your Sarasota or Tampa data center needs more than an AC repair technician; your business deserves a data center AC design and repair specialist. Here are some ways your Sarasota or Tampa data center will benefit from the right AC repair specialist:
• Retrofit your system for the highest temperature and enter racks that meet your comfort level
• Include air-side and water-side economizers
• Ask your AC repair specialist about "green" alternatives to cooling your Tampa or Sarasota data center
• Investigate a new de-humidifier for your data center
• Select a design that provides for flexibility, which ultimately saves you money
A Skilled Sarasota or Orlando Air Conditioning Repair Company can Save you Money
When you seek an air conditioning repair specialist in Sarasota or Orlando, you should look for someone with deep knowledge about data center cooling.

A true Sarasota or Orlando air conditioning repair expert has the data and research to back up any specific claims. A true leader in the field can:
• Furnish a list of clients for data center cooling that includes new design, retrofitted systems and repair
• Provide innovative and forward thinking design and retrofit ideas

• Demonstrate how much money the client will save with the new data center cooling system
Look for a Sarasota or Tampa LEED certified professional
Ensure that your Tampa or Sarasota business earns LEED credits by working with a reputable AC leader that specializes in LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) credit approved system installations.
Although clients save money by using energy efficient data center cooling systems, LEED credits can expand your savings to a greater extent. Using a Tampa AC repair company that doesn't have experience with LEED accreditation may prove to be a costly mistake. Only a highly skilled, well-trained Tampa LEED specialist can determine which products will help you earn credits.

Hyderabad: The 34th Formation Day of the Telugu Desam Party was celebrated here at a grand function with party leaders offering rich tributes to TDP founder and former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao.
TDP president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu led party leaders in paying homage to the party's founder at NTR Ghat.
Naidu and other senior leaders from both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh earlier participated in the party flag hoisting at NTR Bhavan. They also offered garlands as a mark of respect to NTR. Naidu also cut a cake to mark the occasion.
Addressing party workers, Naidu said NTR was a great leader who brought honour to politics, and asked them to follow his ideals.
This was first TDP formation day after creation of new Telangana state following division of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh.
"Though geographically the state was divided, but Telugu-speaking people remained united," Naidu said adding that TDP would strive for the benefit of people of both the states. Naidu's son N Lokesh was among those who were present during the function.

Every Sarasota County employee now knows raising any questions about Commissioner Joe Barbetta or his wife and their business relationships with anyone involved with the county is a firing offense.
No matter how tactfully and gently it is done, or why, it is wrong to ask ethics-related questions about a commissioner, especially questions that rub Barbetta the wrong way.
No matter what questions arise, or how, the only safe thing to do is ignore them, if they want to keep getting a county paycheck. READ MORE

Ok. So I've created a blog. Do the world need another blog? Probably not.
But it's my attempt to spread my opinions on things and hopefully someone will find it entertaining or at least somewhat interesting.
What will I write about? Not quit sure, but I'll make a promise right here and now. I will never post pictures from the party the day before. I will never post todays outfit. I will never tell you what I cooked for dinner. I will never let you know that I've done workout. I will NOT ever use a pic of my dog or my kids as a profile picture! If you want that kind of shit please proceed to nearest facebook account...
What about me? Why should you bother? Well. Thats another issue... And really not my problem. I will try to deliver my truth as somebody cared. My insights might make sense to someone and I will try to add a kind of North-European-flavor to american pop-culture. Think superman with a lovely seasoning of cinnamon roll or The Expendables giving birth to a polar bear. I work in an extremely boring office, my true believe is that no band started after 1999 could be really good. I watch a lot of movies and series, so that will probably be the target of my frustration from time to time.
How long will I go on? No clue. Might be a few post or it might go on forever.
Fasten your seatbelt, the train is moving. Fast. Heading a rock wall.

The costumes are finally done! Star Trek fangirl? Done! Bitch Planet inmate? Done! Original take on The Doctor? Done! I took a bunch of pictures of each costume as I created it. I'm probably not going to post them all here and overwhelm you all. Probably after DragonCon, I'll figure out how I'm going to post details. But now? Packing!!!
See you on the other side!

Upon obtaining satisfactory references and checks, the Reservation Deposit will be treated as part of the first month rent. However, if we are not able to get satisfactory reference or credit report your money will be refunded to you less £25 being the cost of carrying out credit check and referencing.

Without the Rent-to-Buy agreement, you are an ordinary tenant with no right to buy the flat.
Down payment covers the cost of sourcing your home and fixing the rent and purchase price till November 2019. Down payment goes 100% towards the purchase price of your home and it is non refundable.
Please Note: (1) The down payment is not a security deposit. It is a non refundable payment that goes towards the purchase of your home, i.e. it is credited 100% towards the purchase price of your home.
Just as down payment made to exchange contract with a seller in traditional home purchase is non refundable, in the same way down payment is non-refundable in a rent to buy home purchase.
If you can't or decide not to complete on buying your home, you are free to sell your right to buy it and you could make profit if your home has appreciated in the value, otherwise you will lose the down payment paid.

General Information
Koschei's Special Attacks
Historical Information
In Russian folklore, the Koschei was an evil being that was described as an entity that looked old and was fairly hard to kill. Its soul was hidden outside of its body, in a needle, which lay in an egg, held within a duck, which is inside a hare, which in turn is stored in an iron chest underneath a green oak tree located on the island of Buyan. If the chest were to be opened, the hare will dart away. If the hare is killed, the duck will emerge and try to fly off. If people kill the duck and then obtain the egg, they gain hold over the Koschei and has the ability to weaken the Koschei. Breaking the needle within the egg will kill the Koschei.

Peace and QuietPosted by Marcia Ann
Whew! The holidays are over, the kids are back in school, life is back to normal. So I am getting back in the swing of things.
First thing I wanted to do was go through my yarn stash and decide what I will probably never use. That was pretty easy. I have several skeins of fuzzy, furry type yarns that I keep buying thinking I will use and never do.These and more.
So I decided instead of forcing myself to make something out if them that I would not care for (because they are not my style) I would sell them in my shop. I have seen a lot of nice stuff made from this kind of yarn so I know someone will want it. If you are one of those talented people check out the yarn destash section of my shop. They are going for $2-3 a skein so its a great deal you don't want to miss.
I have more great ideas to tell you about but I will spread them out so you don't get overloaded.:) Plus it makes me come back and blog. Too many long gaps between posts these days.

A Web of Intellectual Connections
So far the realm of podcasts has not delivered much in the way of "meaty" history that a professional historian who also enjoys mainstream popular culture can get into. Up until now The Napoleon Podcast has been by far my favorite because of the hosts' passion for history and their exploration of its subject on a level anyone with a basic high-school level education could understand. It's entertaining and reflects the type of conversation shared by people who really love to discuss and argue about history for history's sake.
The other day while trolling I-Tunes, one episode of Carlin's Hardcore History caught my eye, "A Fly on James Burke's Wall" (see Show 18 in Carlin's archive) I downloaded it and was instantly transported to a dynamic intellectual exchange between one of my favorite historians, Burke, and an enthusiastic amateur historian, Carlin, with some really thought-provoking insights of his own.
I am one of a generation that grew up learning about history from the likes of James Burke, with his television show Connections, which first broadcast in the US in 1979. I was at an impressionable age, but eager to learn so long as I had fun in doing so. I can remember that I was watching Connections at a time when I actually found the subject of history in school to be quite boring. I was incredibly good at memorizing the names of rulers, places, and dates of events for multiple choice quizzes, but bored to tears with the way it was presented in class by my teachers. Plop me down in front of the Tube, however, and I would watch, and re-watch Connections and its sequels over and over.
What fascinated me most was that Burke's approach appeals to my innate sense of synthesis. My brain is simply wired to draw together ideas quickly. Linear thinking is terribly uninteresting to me. Always was. Destined to be a post-modernist, my wild inclination was to draw two concepts together from different sides of the question and build a theory around them. That's how my fantasy life operated in my child's mind and, later, it's how my scholar's mind turned around sophisticated groups of facts to churn out pages and pages of grad school ramblings. Honed by a youth spent with exploring connections, I understood that history is not simply a string of happenings, but an array of decisions and inventions that might have just as easily gone the other way had circumstances been altered ever so slightly.
Popular scholars and scientists like James Burke, Carl Sagan, and Joseph Campbell showed me that ideas are power and the brain is a tool of exploration. As my education progressed I began to find the voices of scholars who opened up the field of women's history. I can remember being excited by my first readings of "serious" feminist art history in my first year of graduate school. Scholars like Whitney Chadwick and Linda Nochlin raised my awareness of just how much women had been overlooked in the previous views of world history -- not to mention all of the cultures considered "Other" or "Primitive" by First World scholars.
That brings me to the really nifty project that James Burke mentioned in passing during the conversation with Dan Carlin. He's using the Internet as a tool to expand his theories of inter-connectivity among people and moments in history on a website called the Knowledge Web. I encourage you to explore it for yourself. I highly recommend the "Mystery Tours" section which will introduce (or re-introduce) you to Burke's heady style of historic synthesis. My personal favorite tour so far is "Wallpaper to Germ Theory."
My husband and I have often batted around this crazy notion of writing a book together on a certain sub-set of myths about the history of England as filtered down to us from the Victorian era. It's rather crazy on the one hand because we are both really just armchair scholars of the period concerned, but he -- being a scientific/engineering mind with a devotion to folklore -- and I -- with my background in cultural history, archival research, and post-modernist academic training -- might just come up with a perspective on our topic that no one else has ever written. We have between the two of us background, experience, and skills related to intellectual history that combined is actually brilliant (if I do say so myself). The question is: could we produce research that anyone else would care about or want to read? Well, first we have to do the brainstorming and then the research. I'll get back to you on this topic.
I just want to conclude that human knowledge is at a peak. In my culture I am aware of just how fortunate I am to have information almost always at my fingertips. Making it far easier for me to make intellectual leaps than ever before. Its a long way from the paper card catalogues in my elementary school to the high-speed connections of the Internet on my laptop or hand-held device. Almost whenever I have a question, I can within a reasonable amount of time download all kinds of random facts, tidbits, reviews, ramblings, and conspiracy theories about it in a matter of minutes.
Oh, where, I wonder, will the connections lead?

Thanks for the reminder, Maria. Will have to check out some of those history podcasts.ReplyDelete
ps blogspot's weird sense of humour. the word i have to verify to leave this comment? HININESS!
"HININESS"???!!! LOL that's is just priceless. It's not a word, but perhaps one could create a definition for it.ReplyDelete
Any ideas, C?
My father emailed to ask me a very astute question in response to this entry: "What is your definition of "Post Modernist " thinking?"ReplyDelete
Here is my response:
That's a very good question. The answer is that it depends upon the context. Simply put, "post modernist" is the best term that anyone could come up with for the generation of scholars and artists who grew up in the wake of the radical cultural shift of the late 20th century.
Based upon my graduate school training I would say that post modernism is the phase of intellectual thought (or scholarship) and creative expression following the dramatic changes in culture in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In other words, "Culture" created by people after the Civil Rights, Women's Liberation, and other political/cultural movements to create a greater tolerance for difference and minorities in our "First World" culture.
M sees it differently. He says, "It's also a reaction to the idea that the Future is bright." It's a more cynical, critical view of the future as opposed to the Utopian vision of Modernism as espoused by artists and thinkers of the early twentieth century through the "Peace, Love, and Understanding" attitudes that Hippies in the 1960s had.
Both of us are correct, but it's a case of the proverbial glass being half full or half empty.
In either case, it is a sense that no one can escape from the times they have experienced -- personal history impacts thinking. I dislike the name post modernist because I do not like terms that define themselves by something they are not. However, there doesn't seem to be a better term out there for us and maybe there is some truth to the idea that my generation of scholars and artists does define itself against another.
In reality, one might say the same of the Modernist Bloomsbury Group intellectually and artistically opposing the Victorian Age in which they were raised.

Buckinghamshire 11+ - Children's Educational Material 11+ TM
The Buckinghamshire11plus.co.uk website provides advice and information about Buckinghamshire 11+ exams for the Bucks 11+ and Children's Educational Material for the 11+. The Bucks website includes advice on how to prepare for the Bucks eleven plus exams and material suitable for preparation.
Buckinghamshire has 13 selective grammar schools (4 boys, 4 girls and 5 mixed gender) and all children in the area take the 11+ test unless they opt out. It is not a super-selective region as it operates a distance based criteria for grammar school admission, subject to a regional automatic qualifying score of 121. The schools are backward as they still believe in catchment areas, with Dr Challoner`s Grammar School admissions policy being bizarre.
From 2018 the schools will use tests from GL Assessment. Complete solutions are available using WordBuilder.co.uk and CoolCleverKids.co.uk.
The Buckinghamshire11plus website provides advice and information about 11 plus exams and Children's Educational Material (CEM) for the 11+.

Test Dates
Thursday 13th September 2018
A preparation test is held on Tuesday 11th September 2018 comprising of two tests lasting 25-30 minutes each, containing questions that are similar to the actual test. These preparation tests will not be marked.
12th October 2018
Test Supplier
GL Assessment
Weighting is 50% for verbal ability,
30% for numerical ability
20% for non-verbal ability.
There will be a mix of different questions in each of the two test papers and the questions will be divided into timed sections. The invigilator will play a CD with complete instructions and timings for children sitting the tests. Each test lasts one hour including an introduction and worked examples, with 50 minutes for answering the questions. The questions will be multiple choice with answers marked on a separate answer sheet. There is a 30-minute break between papers.
The two Bucks eleven plus tests will be machine-marked. The tests will be in a multiple-choice format and the pupils will complete machine-readable answer sheets. Scores in both papers are added together and age standardised. The qualifying score is 121.
Two days before the test Buckinghamshire children sit two preparation papers each lasting about 25-30 minutes containing test items that mirror what they will find in the full tests. The purpose of this exercise is to give the pupils experience of test-taking conditions as well as giving them the opportunity to work through example test material. The preparation papers will not be marked or taken away from the school and will be destroyed after completion.

In order to qualify for admission under rules referring to the school's catchment area, the applicant must have been resident at their home address continuously since 1 April of the year preceding proposed admission. b) If a family still owns a property within 20 miles of the school which has been the main family home, a property closer to the school will not be accepted as the basis for a legitimate residence qualification even if the former property is leased to a third party.
We believe this is unreasonable as it discriminates against out children who have moved in to the area and amounts local apartheid. Schools are funded by national taxation and not local taxation, so catchment areas are nothing more than a form of discrimination and backward.

2019 Entry
A back door route as children are taught alongside the selective stream.
High KS2 SATs scores are also a backdoor route in to the selective stream.
Note: once you are in the grammar stream, you can be removed from the stream in some subjects so there is no guarantee of a grammar school education. Some people do not consider this bilateral school providing a "real" grammar school education for this reason.
Candidates can also take the Warwickshire 11+

Alternative Date: 22nd Sept, 2018
No free mocks for the MFL test
