Summer! The ultimate season! You can't skip it, you've gotta have it! This summer we made a discovery that is going to make it even better. We found a place to go tubing! The Buffalo River Resort is only about an hour and fifteen minutes from Nashville. Totally worth it for 4 hours of floating down the river.
This was my favorite.
Ahhhhhhh. It is so nice to just float down the river.
And feed each other chips.
Check out these really cool water shoes!
This hat is a lifesaver. I haven't gotten a burn on my face since I started wearing them.
While we were sitting around this tiny turtle swam up and sat on Travis' foot! Look at him!
Once we were ready to go, we all got in a train and got Travis to tow us in. So relaxing! I can't WAIT to go back. I hope we can make it a regular thing this summer. If you are in Nashville, I highly recommend the Buffalo River Resort!

About a month ago the button started needed extra prodding to get it to signal the opener. I really hoped it would survive till spring but about a week ago the remote died. I took it apart and cleaned it, check the circuit board, changed the battery, did everything I could think of but - that puppy is dead. The opener works fine but leaping out of the car to run in the house, go into the garage, open the door and then back into the car to drive into the garage while it's -30F wind chill is not a fun thing to do! I can't used the side door of the garage because its so piled up with snow that has settled and really frozen in place so its thru the front door of the house, stomping off the snow before walking across the carpet and dealing with it.
Guess its time for a new opener but I didn't want to make someone install it in the middle of a deep freeze! Now that it looks like were heading toward above freezing weather for a while I can go opener shopping. At least it will be cheaper than paying for 7 years of water in in month!
What all this extra running in and out to go anywhere means is I plan my trips carefully because ti just not convenient (man I'm spoiled! my last house didn't even have a garage!) Back to the story. Because I don't go out at the drop of a hat, I've been doing more around the house. This morning I decided to play with some fabric I bought on a shop hop. It's 5 Christmas fat quarters and I wanted to do something quick so I made a pillow case top to cover one of the couch pillows.
Time to play the ever fun game - What did Jill do Wrong?
I was going for an interwoven ribbon look. Check out the lower right. Everything is in the right place based on my striped order but - because I didn't put the right ribbon going downward on the left and the gold print on the right, the interwoven part of the lower right doesn't look interwove. If I decide to fix this it means ripping out the lower half or the right half of everything so I can switch the order of one of the sets of red/gold ribbons.
It took me a while to notice this but now that I've seen it I have a feeling this will bug me forever unless I fix it. Guess I have some hand work to do - rip-rip-rip.

Here Are Considerations In Establishing Tea Shop Business
Starting a tea shop can be tough depending on if one wants to sell ordinary tea or if you want to specialize in a particular type like Japanese tea. There are some pointers that could help you get established and run one of the biggest tea stores in your area. When it comes to making Japanese tea, a lot of people have no clue and if that is what you want to specialize in, try to at least attend workshops to have an idea of how things work.
Look for an open area where you can reach a huge number of people if you want your business to flourish. Go scouting and you can even have tea in one of those stores around that area to see if they have flow of clients or there are days they go without people. In the process be keen on how the people in those stores handle clients and also check some of the things you like and those you do not like to give you clues on what to include.
Depending on the areas you want your tea store located, there will be licenses required, and you have to know in advance where to get them so that it does not deal the process of opening your shop. In some places you might need to get health permits first before applying for the regular licenses since the health inspectors check if the areas are safe to have a food business. Just because a particular structure worked for the previous owner does not mean that it will work for you, and you can change it to fit into your expectations since it will not need too much money to make the changes.
The 10 Best Resources For Online
Green tea works differently from black one; thus starting a Japanese tea shop means that you store it in the fridge to increase its shelf life. However, you have to keep checking these leaves regularly since if temperatures changed the leaves could become moist making thus affecting the leaves. Clients will only come to your store if you maintain the tea fresh; therefore once the leaves get opened, store them in a well closed container to keep them fresh for quality product.
On Guide: My Experience Explained
It is essential for one to know how to make this type of tea and see the leaves as they are cut from the branches so that you can understand the brewing procedure. Whether you make tea in general or specialize one should come up with a marketing strategy so budget for that from the beginning and make quality tea so that marketing will just be a way of making people aware. Take time to look for tea bodies that are recognized if you want to widen your market, get better deals and also narrow down on marketing opportunities.

Apparently Melania and Ivanka were forced to wear black abaya and veil in the Vatican (not Saudi Arabia)
So basicly a headscarf in the middle east is a sign of submission but when visiting the pope it's part of our culture?
Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS is what hypocrisy looks like: Melania and Ivanka chose reverence for Western Christianity but not Muslim culture
Stephanie Grisham, a spokesperson for the first lady, said Melania's decision to wear a black lace veil known as a mantilla followed Vatican protocol that women who have an audience with the pope must wear long sleeves, formal black clothing and a veil to cover their head. In Saudi Arabia, however, the government did not request that she wear a head covering, Grisham said, according to the Associated Press.
According to Rocco Palmo, editor of Whispers in the Loggia, a site on church news and politics, foreign dignitaries usually follow a dress code when visiting the Vatican, although that dress code started to relax under Pope Benedict XVI. He added that only Catholic queens and the princess of Monaco can wear white while meeting the pope. Over the years, Pope Francis has relaxed many rules his predecessors followed in terms of dressing. "It's been part of his message of simplicity," Palmo said.

Can't wait for the Tableau conference next
week year? How about playing a game of blackjack against Tableau in the meantime? No, you won't win real money. But you can sharpen your skills in case a future since the next conference is in Vegas.
By the way, this dashboard uses a little known fact that secondary data sources are many times refreshed only from the cache even when the primary sends a new query to the data source. Want to discuss? Ask me questions, provide feedback and critique in the Tableau Community Viz Talk
Just remember to press F5 (refresh the browser) after you play — or the cards won't be shuffled (of course, you could use that to your advantage by just pressing the revert button – though sometimes the dealer still likes to shuffle).
(scroll down to play!)
I don't know how you do it, but you are one of the most creative Tableau users that I know of. Congrats on your continued excellent work and thanks for teaching me new tricks. I'm looking forward to playing some blackjack!
neat concept, but I'm getting the same hand every time.

HEART OF GOLD is Now Out of Print
I have yet to take it off my website, but my Inspirational romance HEART OF GOLD has gone out of print at By Grace Publishing. This book was very special to me, because it taught me that I could write in any genre. It's an historical western Inspy, with plenty of talk about GOD and religiosity.
I got my start in Inspirationals, you know. They are slowly going out of print, however, since I decided to go 100% mainstream with my romance.
The question is, what should I do with this book? See if I can get it republished elsewhere? Shelve it? Offer it as a free read on my website?
Give me your opinion. What would YOU do with an out-of-print novel?

Langold FC have got a hand on the Division Two title after an 8-0 mauling of Harworth Pavilion, securing promotion to Division One for the first time in their 15 year history.
This leaves Shireoaks Sports needing maximum points against Breakers Wasps and Three Lions and also a winning margin of seven goals or more to secure the title.
In Division Three Shireoaks Inn put themselves in the title and promotion race with victory over promotion rivals Woodsetts Welfare.
Langold Lakeside still hold an eight point lead, leaving Shireoaks needing win their three games in hand.
The two major cup completions, the Challenge and Benevolent Cups, are at the semi-final stages.
Both cups will have new names on this year as holders Worksop Borough were beaten in the earlier rounds .
And debutant finalists will be named as neither Langold FC, FC United of Carlton, Shireoaks Sports nor Yates United have played in a Sunday League major cup final.
The Challenge Cup first semi-final this weekend has village teams FC United of Carlton of Division Three and Langold FC of Division Two meeting for a place in the final.
Carlton, who were giant killers in the last round beating Langold Old Boys, will fancy their chances, but Langold FC will be thinking otherwise.
The other semi-final to be played on the 15th March sees previous winners St Joseph's facing Manton Club JFC in an all Division One tie.
JFC re looking to earn a place in their first ever Challenge Cup final, one of two competitions that have eluded them.
Treble chasing Manton Club JFC will also be seeking revenge for last year's Challenge Cup quarter-final whenthey face Langold Old Boys later in March in the Benevolent Cup semi-final.

The National Curriculum defines the programmes of study for key subjects in maintained/ state primary and secondary schools in England. Fundamentally, it sets out what your child is supposed to learn and when.
A new version was introduced in September 2014.
At Emmbrook Infant School we have designed a curriculum that not only meets the national requirements, but also helps to prepare our pupils for the next stage of their learning journey. We have consulted with our parents as to what they consider to be the key skills and attribute that children should develop at school and we have embedded these into our curriculum.
Our Year 1 and Year 2 Curriculum Provision are outlined below.
We endeavour to offer all children a rich, stimulating, varied, warm and caring environment where they are taught the National Curriculum and develop the skills necessary to play their part in our changing world.
The children are taught to show consideration, tolerance and respect for others and are encouraged to share and help one another.
We seek to achieve high standards of education for all children. Within a working week of 21 hours the following subjects are covered: English, Mathematics, Science, Computing (Information & Communication Technology), Religious Education, Design & Technology, PE, History, Geography, Personal & Social Health Education, Music, Art & Craft.
Curriculum Subjects
Great emphasis is placed on developing each child's speaking and listening, and reading and writing skills, building on the wide knowledge that the child brings from home and following the requirements in the literacy framework.
Reading is taught in a sound structured environment, developing pre-reading skills, phonics and sight recognition of whole words. Letters and Sounds is used primarily to teach synthetic phonics across the school. The children use a published reading scheme, The Oxford Reading Tree, which is supported and supplemented by other reading material. Children take their reading books home to share their new reading skills with their family and we ask you to hear your child read regularly.
Writing develops alongside reading. The children are taught letter formation and gradually learn to write in sentences. They have the opportunity to write for a variety of purposes, including story telling, research, chronological writing, invitations, recounts and thank you letters. During their time at our school they learn the basic rules of spelling, grammar, punctuation and presentation.
The children are given opportunities to develop their speaking and listening skills. Time is given to discussion, questioning and sharing information. Pupils are taught 'good listening skills'.
During their Infant years, the children acquire the basic early skills, covering the knowledge and understanding of numbers, algebra, measures, shapes and data handling. From the beginning, our aim is to link maths with familiar situations for the children and to use a wide variety of apparatus including computers and games. Pupils are encouraged to do simple arithmetic in their heads and explain how they reach their answers.
Our scheme of work, which covers the National Curriculum requirements, is taught primarily through topic based units of work. The children are taught to make careful observations, to enquire and eventually begin to make a hypothesis. This is a practical subject where the children enjoy hands-on experiences.
The children have the opportunity to develop their computing capability skills and techniques using hardware and software. Computing skills are used and developed in most curriculum areas using our computer suite, iPad's and interactive whiteboards.
A variety of computing is used in the classrooms including digital cameras, bee-bots and talking books.
We follow guidelines set out in the Local Education Authority's syllabus for our Religious Education scheme of work and follow the SEAL National Programme for Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE). Parents may, if they wish, request that their child be withdrawn on those occasions when religious worship or religious teaching is taking place.
At Key Stage 1, Sex Education focuses on friendships, family relationships and raising self esteem, which are included in topics such as science and PSHE.
A copy of the school Sex Education policy can be found on the learning platform or is available from the school office on request.
The aim of these studies is to develop the child's understanding of people and places. We begin by looking at the school and local area, and later, at other areas of Britain and the World. The children learn about famous people and historical events.
They also begin to learn about their family history, finding out about changes and comparing their Grandparents' childhood with their own.
Design and Technology involves the children in practical design and planning and construction. Our scheme uses advice from the Department for Education Scheme of work. Activities such as sewing, model making, wood work and cooking are a part of this subject.
The Art scheme of work following the National Curriculum guidelines offers children the opportunity to use a wide range of materials and techniques to develop their visual perception and creativity.
The children learn about different types of art from different cultures and traditions as well as looking at the work of influential artists.
The children have the opportunity to listen to a variety of music. In music lessons the children sing and learn new songs and use percussion instruments to reinforce their appreciation of pattern and rhythm and learn simple composing skills.
This subject includes games, gymnastic skills, dance and orienteering. The children are encouraged to perform a range of simple actions and linked movements. They are taught to work safely on apparatus and develop the skills for games and working as part of a team.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Each curriculum area has a subject leader who is responsible for the 2 year scheme of work and termly plan of the subject. Teachers write their lesson plans individually or in teams in order to meet the particular needs of the children in their care.
A separate scheme of work linked to the Early Years foundation is followed by the foundation stage pupils.
Children's' work is monitored by continual assessment and as parents you will be informed of your child's progress at the 1:1 parents' evenings.

Most of the key mortgage rates being offered at Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) today are largely identical to those advertised Monday, as the lender continues a run of rock-solid value covering both home purchase and refinance arms. As of today, the BoA may still be lagging somewhat behind market-leaders Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) in terms of the lowest rates to be found anywhere in the US, but the overall picture is one of superb buying and refinancing opportunities for those yet to make their move.
Starting off with home purchase mortgage rates and today sees Bank of America offering the standard 30 year fixed rate home loan for 3.375% and APR of 3.541%, while the shorter 15 year variant can be taken out and locked in for as little as 2.875% and APR of 3.157%.
For home purchase borrowers looking to invest by way of an adjustable rate home purchase loan, the Bank of America 7/1 ARM is being offered for a low 2.750% to begin and an APR of 3.127% variable, while the 5/1 ARM can be taken out and locked in for as little as 2.500% to start and with an APR of 3.073% variable.
Moving on to home refinance mortgage rates now and Bank of America is today listing the standard 30 year fixed rate loan at 3.625% and 2.841%, while those looking to clear their balances in 15 years will be able to do so for a daily low rate of 2.875% and an APR of 3.244%.
In the case of adjustable rate home refinance mortgage rates of particularly worthy mention today, the standard 7/1 ARM from Bank of America remains strong at 2.750% to begin and APR of 3.144% variable, while the 5/1 ARM remains unchanged at the same 2.500% to start and APR amounting to a low 3.100% variable.

The Patos Island Waiting Game - Thursday May 5th (Day #7)
The one thing about wind forecasts is that they usually tend to be correct around here and sure enough ours was. After finally falling asleep after a long day I woke up in the middle of the night only to hear the winds starting to rustle the trees around our little protected campsite. Great ..... Not!
|The Holland America Rotterdam passes by Patos Island
Although we had nice clear skies the NW wind was blowing 25-30 kt which meant that we weren't going anywhere this morning. Instead we decided that we would hike around the island and go visit the Patos Lighthouse National Park Monument and do a little geocaching too. We did watch a cruise ship come up Boundary Passage heading towards Vancouver through some pretty big seas. We even saw a BC Ferry on the Swartz Bay to Tsawwassen route detour around Saturna Island as we heard the conditions near Active Pass were pretty bad on this day.
Sitting around camp after breakfast we were watching the interaction of the wind and water when Lynn called out "whales". Sure enough just off shore a pair of mature orca and a baby were passing by and the little fella put on a bit of a show breaching every so often. After paddling so far through the San Juan Islands we were a little disappointed not to have seen any whales up to this point so this was a special treat for us.
|Mom and baby
|Mom tail slapping
|The baby puts on a show.
After the whale show we headed to the lighthouse to check out the buildings and to see what the conditions were like off Alden Point. Walking through the forest we arrived at the lighthouse passing by the old foundations of buildings that once were the home to the lighthouse keeper and his family. By the time we reached the point we had the full force of the winds blowing in our faces as the flood tide was interacting with the wind creating a huge tide race. One thing for sure was that we wouldn't be paddling in these conditions any time soon and we started thinking that we might be staying on Patos Island for a few days.
|Walking the trail to the lighthouse
|An enormous tide race off Alden Point
|The girls capturing a selfie
|In the distance a container ship enters Boundary Passage
For a little bit more history on the Patos Island Lighthouse please visit this link HERE
Continuing on our way we completed the hike around the east side of the island and located one of the geocaches and then followed the trail through dense under growth that took us back to our campsite on the west side of the island. Lunch and siesta time was enjoyed in the warm sun as we sheltered ourselves under a rocky shelf at the campsite.
|Kari finds the geocache
|Michael checks out one of the items in the cache.
|Back at camp Michael does some reading
|Kari reading while I'm fast asleep LOL
Later in the afternoon we decided to head back to the lighthouse for another look at the conditions because the long range forecast was calling for the winds to diminish late in the afternoon. What we were really looking for is how the slack tide would start to look like as the winds dropped near dinner time. With any luck …..
Sure enough the wind was dropping and after checking all available information via the internet and VHF radio we decided to break camp and be ready to leave at around 5pm. One last check of the 4:30pm Environment Canada Marine Report and we decided to head out and make a run across Boundary Passage towards Saturna Island.
Our original thoughts during the trip were to maybe make it to Tumbo Island off East Point but with the NW winds and the slack just starting to turn to an ebb it clearly became evident that this wasn't possible. Even though the winds were becoming lighter we did experience some significant rip tides which made the crossing a little interesting but thankfully we didn't have to contend with any tanker or container ships. I stuck with Robyn and Kari while Michael stuck with Lynn through the bumpiest part of crossing and we even had a pod of porpoise playing in the rips that we paddled through.
|Entering the protected water of Narvaez Bay
Finally, in the wind shadow of Saturna Island we paddled into Narvaez Bay just before 7:30pm and began hauling our gear up the trail to the campground. After being spoiled with the Washington State Park system of well serviced campgrounds I felt a bit shell shocked establishing camp at this Parks Canada Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. This was the first time that Robyn and I had come to this campground that is situated on a really pretty point in Narvaez Bay but the camping area is placed well back from the point. We found three tent designated areas right near the visitor kiosk and for some reason there are also two picnic tables jammed right up to it. All this open space in the park yet the camping area is packed together like a mini tent city.
|Our 3 tents in sites and the picnic tables at Narvaez Bay that are crowed around the visitor kiosk.
One has to wonder what the PCGINPR was thinking when establishing this site??
After establishing camp Robyn and I went to work on making the group dinner which we enjoyed as the last bit of sunlight left our camp. As for the outhouse …. Well it certainly had a lot to be desired compared to being spoiled the past week but it was an outhouse (less toilet paper) but it still beats digging a cat hole anytime. LOL After another long day I think we all slept very, very well that night back home in Canada! Hey! .... We still need to check in!!

Contesting Hidden Waters: Conflict Resolution for Groundwater and Aquifers (Earthscan Water Text)By: W. Todd Jarvis (author)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThe world increasingly relies on groundwater resources for drinking water and the provision of food for a growing population. The utilization of aquifer systems also extends beyond freshwater supply to include other resources such as heat extraction and the storage and disposal of substances. Unlike other books about conflict resolution and negotiations over water resources, this volume is unique in focusing exclusively on conflicts over groundwater and aquifers. The author explores the specific challenges presented by these "hidden" resources, which are shown to be very different from those posed by surface water resources. Whereas surface watersheds are static, groundwater boundaries are value-laden and constantly changing during development. The book describes the various issues surrounding the governance and management of these resources and the various parties involved in conflicts and negotiations over them. Through first-hand accounts from a pracademic skilled in both process and substance as a groundwater professional and professional mediator, the book offers options for addressing the challenges and issues through a transdisciplinary approach.
About AuthorW. Todd Jarvis, PhD, is Interim Director of the Institute for Water and Watersheds at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. He is a consulting groundwater hydrologist with nearly 30 years of experience and specializes in dispute prevention and conflict resolution related to groundwater resources and water well construction.
Contents1. Introduction - A Guided Journey to the Underworld 2. Groundwater Governance versus Aquifer Governance 3. Water Negotiation Frameworks 4. The Silent Revolution and the Coming War of the Wells? 5. Conflictive Rationality and Aquifer Protection 6. A Star is Born: Documentary Film as a Tool in Conflict Resolution 7.

Child support and child custody is a complicated issue when it involves international borders. If, for example, your child is wrongfully residing in a foreign country, you have limited options and you might not get any assistance from the country they now reside in. We would need to become familiar with the circumstance of your situation.
An important factor is whether or not the country where your child is being held is a signatory to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. If they are, the government will assist. This is a multilateral treaty that provides for a method to return a child that is internationally abducted by a parent from one member country to another. The USA is a signatory. So, if your child is being wrongfully retained, we can work with the authorities on your behalf to assist in getting your child back to you.
We offer a free one-hour consultation and would be happy to talk to you about your situation. Click on the Contact Us button or simply call us at 301-738-7655.

Religion and Immigration
Rabbi Marc Gellman in MSNBC/ Newsweek is asking the right questions about immigration but will he get the answers that he would hope for? America is a complex and difficult to understand culture of many people that strive to be one people. We are a nation of laws not just of the government but of God too. The founding fathers of this great nation still amaze me in all of the checks and balances they put in place to make sure that we would forever be asking questions of ourselves rather than have the answers dictated to us.
We are a nation of immigrants and as the descendants of those immigrants it is up to us all to decide where our nation is going to be one hundred or five hundred years from now. Will historians look back at this time and place of America and judge us as a great nation or as a failed experiment of democracy at its worst. Will they see us as a people that strived to make the best decision for our nation or a society of narrow minded self interest bigots?
Immigration and how we deal with it today is the key to our future. There are people that would hire a U-haul truck and move the Great Wall of China to our southern border. Then there are those people that would knock down all the fences to let everyone in. Somewhere in the middle is the answer to our nation's immigration issue. One fact that is overwhelmingly bold and in our face is that in order to face our fears of the great unknown is that we must stand up to it and recognize it for what it is.
People will forever come to America for all of her opportunities. Those that discourage people following that dream are the ones that have forgotten that those same opportunities are available to them just as well.

|SecurityManager incompatibility (was Re: 10.3 Concern: Need to make DBO restrictions [Derby-2264] optional at upgrade)
|Wed, 30 May 2007 21:01:27 GMT
I just did a perusal of the incompatibilities of 10.3. My apologies for not looking sooner. I would venture to guess that other users have been equally lazy - I think we generally expect the Derby team to "do the right thing" and not introduce incompatibilities between releases. I really really think this discussion needs to be taken to derby-users. Anyway, the fact that user code may no longer run because all of a sudden the VM is running under a security manager concerns me. Also, have you tested this in container environments where there is already a security manager installed? How do these things interact? But as much as it concerns me, it doesn't affect NetBeans, because we start the network server as a separate process. *However*, the fact that a server won't start up without the -noSecurityManager option *does* have a direct impact on NetBeans. NetBeans has its own code to start up Derby within the tool: NbProcessDescriptor desc = new NbProcessDescriptor( java, "-Dderby.system.home=\"" + getDerbySystemHome() + "\" " + "-classpath \"" + getNetworkServerClasspath() + "\"" + " org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start" ); If I understand things correctly, the server will not start up under NetBeans using Derby 10.3 because authentication is turned off and the -noSecurityManager option is not provided. Also, if I understand things correctly, then when you upgrade to Derby 10.3 the *default* behavior is that the Network Server will *not* start up, because most users (in development anyway, which is where people will first experience Derby 10.3) will not have turned on user authentication. I know it's turned off for NetBeans. it seems to me that if the user has not enabled user authentication, they should be able to run the Network Server without the security manager. I can see two major usage modes: -> authentication turned on and security manager enabled -> authentication turned off and security manager disabled It seems to me we should support the first scenario. If the user has authentication turned off, we can let the server start up with the following message: "WARNING: user authentication is not enabled. You are now running in an insecure mode." And then turn off the security manager for the network server. This keeps things compatible but lets users know they're not in a secure mode. If you keep seeing this in your server log every time you start up, you'll get the hint. Thanks, David On 5/30/07, Bernt M.

AUCKLAND PLAN – Tamaki Makaurau Transition Bill
(a) Second Tier? ….. Yeah Right!
(b) New Reality …. Tamaki Makaurau – living, diverse, strong, organic, resilient, agile, growing, rich
Our Government has initiated a bold and long needed plan to restructure seven existing city entities in the area into a single Auckland Supercity; largely overriding the consultation and key recommendations of a Royal Commission on Auckland that has involved many on this issue for a year or so. This new imposed plan coming out of the blue has stirred tears, pain, anger, fear and determination in the minds of many of the affected stakeholders and communities. Much thinking yet needs to be done
Cynefin Framework helps us better understand the conflicting dynamics, roadblocks and opportunities for real growth in this situation;
A videoclip that clearly describes the framework and its four domains is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mqNcs8mp74
Communities and Cities are complex places – requiring us to use network thinking to understand them, yet we find many who think they are in control are treating them as if they are simple or at best complicated. That will not to get respect in a strong complex local democracy!

The impact of the forced merger of municipalities in the Montreal area in 2002 is now apparent. Henry Aubin, who writes a column on municipal politics for the Montreal Gazette, has recently summarized the state of the merger, concluding it is "a failure on almost all accounts".
Despite promises the merger would result in less expenditure by the big city, operating expenses have increased since 2002 by 16.7%, compared to increases in the Quebec government's own operating budget of 8.6%, and increases in inflation of 6.7%.
Despite promises that the number of city hall jobs would surely shrink by 1260 people as duplication was eliminated, the number of full-time positions, including contract staff, has increased by 330. The number of 'working' staff has been reduced by 2% but the number of managers and supervisors has increased by 9%.
Property taxes were promised to be lower but have increased 12.5%, almost twice the rate of inflation.
There were suggestions the merger would save money at the elected official level, but salaries and benefits for those elected have increased from $7.9 million to $8.7 million, not including the costs of extra political staff.
Aubin relates the common experience that services have declined very noticeably in Montreal and concludes "All in all, the merger has failed on virtually every count." He continues, "Indeed defenders of the merger at City Hall are hard pressed to name one major achievement that could not have been realized without a merger."
These kinds of results have also been evident in Toronto and in other large cities where the Ontario and Quebec governments decided to force mergers and amalgamations. The result is not surprising given the number of people who objected at the time, but it is a sad commentary that neither provincial government is willing to seriously rethink the mess that has been made at the local level.

A failure on almost all accounts
A failure on almost all counts: The municipal mergers mean more spending and more bureaucrats, but diminished services
March, 2006 – Henry Aubin
Montreal Gazette Friday, March 3, 2006
The public outcry over declining services – including snow removal and pothole repair – has been rising since the 2002 merger of Montreal Island. This winter's wave of indignation raises a question: What do Montrealers have to show for the merger as a whole? Let's compare the promised benefits of the merger with the actual results. We'll look at changes during the four-year period beginning Jan. 1, 2002, when the Parti Quebecois government's amalgamation came into force, and Dec.31, 2005, the eve of the partial demerger.
Spending. The government said the operating costs of local government across the island would fall. Indeed, a 1999 study by SECOR Consulting Inc. for Montreal's pro-merger Bourque administration predicted a drop in spending of seven per cent.
Reality: According to the Montreal transition committee's recent report, operating expenses during the four years increased by 16.3 per cent.
Meanwhile, inflation in Montreal during that period was just 6.7 per cent.
The Quebec government's operating budget during this period went up by just 8.6 per cent. The megacity has, thus, spent at almost twice the rate as the province.
Labour. The much-touted SECOR study said the merger would cut the duplication of jobs in different municipalities and so reduce the need to replace retiring workers. It predicted the workforce would shrink by 1,260 people after five years.
Reality: Official figures show that during the four years, 330 more people (as measured in person years) work for the city. This includes at least 90 contract workers.
A breakdown by job category is revealing. Employees who serve the public directly – namely, blue-collars, police, firefighters and crossing guards – have declined by two per cent. Yet managers and supervisors have increased by nine per cent.
Taxes. The Bouchard government said most Montrealers would see lower taxes.
Reality: Taxes from all sources (mostly on property and water) have risen by 12.5 per cent, almost double the inflation rate.
Global competitiveness. One of Quebec's chief arguments for the merger was that a unified municipal apparatus would spur investments here.
Reality: According to Montreal International, the body that since 1999 has represented all the metropolitan region's municipalities in the hunt for investors, the island's unity has not been a factor in a single investment in the last four years.
As MI's president, Marc Fortier, told me, "For investors, it's not important whether there are 12, 25 or 50 municipalities so long as the whole region speaks with one voice" – that is, through an umbrella agency such as MI.
Social equity. The PQ government said the merger would enable well-off parts of Montreal Island to contribute more to disadvantaged areas.
This idea has had some bright spots. Montreal Nord Mayor Marcel Parent, for example, attributes $5 million of his long-deprived borough's new $37-million budget to the megacity's equalization policy.
But there's a flip side. Some boroughs – including Cote des Neiges/Notre Dame de Grace and the Plateau – say the system short-changes them and that it needs changes.
Reality: It's far too early to assess the system's value.
Bear in mind that municipal mergers were not required to spread the wealth.
The old Montreal Urban Community provided a formula for richer municipalities to help poor ones. If inadequate, that system could have been recalibrated.
Environment. The Tremblay administration attributes several successes to the merger. One is a bylaw on pesticides across the island. Another measure safeguards "eco-territories" from development.
Reality: Each innovation could have been achieved without the merger. Quebec could have enacted a province-wide pesticide law (as, indeed, it did later).
And the regional body, the Communaute metropolitaine de Montreal, can protect green space. The MUC could have done this also.
Elected officials. The Parti Quebecois said the ending of 28 suburbs' mayors, support staffs and councillors would yield big savings.
Reality: The year before the merger, the salaries and benefits of elected officials across the island cost $7.9 million. In 2005, they were $8.7 million.
If you include political staff at both city hall and in the boroughs, the new cost is even greater. The number of these aides is growing like mad. Salaries go as high as $95,000.
All in all, then, the merger has failed on virtually every count for four years. Deterioration of snow removal and other services – which the PQ said would improve – is a metaphor for the new system as a whole.
Indeed, defenders of the merger at city hall are hard-pressed to name one major achievement that could not have been realized without a merger. Even the ambitious overhaul of the water network could have been done under a strengthened MUC. (Just ask ex-MUC-boss Vera Danyluk.)
I don't blame the Tremblay administration for most of the dismal record: The mayor's team is of above-average competence on day-to-day matters. Rather, I blame the structure: It's inherently unmanageable and lacks a reason for being.
This record raises questions.
First, why are Premier Jean Charest, Municipal Affairs Minister Nathalie Normandeau and Tremblay so keen on punishing those suburbs that, via referendums, opted out of this nonsense?
And, more important, why is Charest in particular so dead set on maintaining the system that is producing higher costs, a declining quality of life and (as last fall's record-low voter turnout of 35 per cent shows) public disaffection? Not once has he justified his position.
That silence is telling. It suggests just how intellectually untenable this whole improvised adventure has become.

Problem with file's export to PDF or PNG
At first sorry for my english.
I have a problem with exporting files to PDF and PNG
As for PDF when i use filters for example: blur or shadow after export in PDF file i cant see it.
All is fine except for filters. (i m saving in 1.5 PDF, rasterization of filters on or off - doesnt matter - not working)
As for PNG when i exporting to it, file's element has different color - hue from SVG file.
So all in all i cant reach the desired effect.
(version of Inskcape 0.92. WIN 10 HOME)

|Hachmann (marenhachmann) said :
Can you share the SVG file? It seems this only affects the background pattern, so you can remove everything else from the file you share.
|Hachmann (marenhachmann) said :
I think I can reproduce this (for the pdf) with a pattern fill that consists of blurred objects. If this is what your drawing is, then
instead of adding an SVG image here, you can also create a new bug report, with steps to reproduce + minimal SVG image for testing. I cannot reproduce for PNG, but I've only used a simple blur filter.
|Patryk Bartnik (bartnol) said :
I will send u file in private message
|Hachmann (marenhachmann) said :
As for the png problem - the background is partially transparent. If you put a white rectangle as big as the page size below your image, does it look correct then? If so, the issue is due to the background color of your png viewing software.
Else, I cannot reproduce - in that case, please update to 0.92.2 (in case it's an error that has been fixed) and try again. If it then doesn't work, please also send the dialog settings and the exported png image.
As for the pdf export, with 'rasterize filter effects' checked, I cannot see a difference, the shadow below the magnifying glass icon is rendered correctly (which is missing when filter rasterization is deactivated).
Same here, please try again. If it still doesn't work, update to 0.92.2, and try again. If then it doesn't work, it might be an issue related to your specific Inkscape download, then please indicate which file you used for installation, and also upload the pdf.
|Patryk Bartnik (bartnol) said :
OK, i updated to 0.92.2 and problem with shadow is solved, but when i want to blur my background (i mean little circles) after export to PDF this layer dissapears.
As for PNG, i think that background creates an optical illusion maybe, because RGB or HTML code of burgund color is the same as this in the Inkscape... But PDF viewer is rendered coretly... dont know!
I m going to send u all 3 files. Thanks for helping
|Hachmann (marenhachmann) said :
Interesting. The pattern gets exported, but it's somehow not visible when the object was blurred.
Could you now make a bug report, with a minimal test case? It needn't be your original design, but can also be any other object that demonstrates the issue.
Thank you!
|Patryk Bartnik (bartnol) said :
Done. Sent link here:
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Patryk Bartnik for more information if necessary.

Funding match made in heaven
JAKARTA, 16 NOVEMBER 2017 – United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Indonesia supported by the Government of Canada, Amazon Web Services and Angel Investor Network (ANGIN) launched Connector.ID, an online matchmaking fund intended to connect entrepreneurs in the country with possible investors. UNDP supports the Connector.ID as a contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by fostering entrepreneurship and providing small and medium-sized companies' access to financial services. Together with UNDP, this platform aims to also discover and support enterprises that incorporate SDGs into their business.
It is estimated that the global finance gap to meet SDGs is estimated at $2.5 Trillion and therefore, a business-as-usual approach to attract funding and to expand awareness of this urgency is no longer relevant. With the partnership from ANGIN and Creative Economy Agency (BEKRAF), Connector.ID is introduced to address the need to provide a transparent, efficient and fast solution to support entrepreneurs in accessing relevant capital. It is online, it is easy to navigate and it is a virtual meeting point for both entrepreneurs and capital providers to meet and explore possible ways to interact and support each other.
"UNDP Indonesia means business in financing the SDGs. We believe in changes and we believe there are new avenues to be explored. Connector.ID signifies the importance of multi-stakeholder partnership in financing SDGs and the importance to create a more appealing ecosystem for Indonesian entrepreneurs," said Christophe Bahuet, Country Director UNDP Indonesia.
According to a research done by UNDP and ANGIN with the support from the Government of Canada in 2016, there are three categories of social enterprises in Indonesia: un-fundable, potential-with additional support and investment ready. Currently, 20 percent of social enterprise is at potential-with additional support stage. Therefore, beyond bridging the capital, Connector.ID also aim to create knowledge hub with essential learning materials from practitioners and individuals to help Indonesian entrepreneurs better engage with capital providers.
SDGs, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. UNDP Indonesia together with government, academe, private sector, civil society and citizens are committed to achieve the goals by 2030

The lifelike, immersive 3-D experience Hollywood movies have been dreaming about for years may have moved a step closer with Hasbro's
The $34.99 device looks a little like an old school View-Master with a 21st century twist. All a user has to do is snap on your Apple
As you might expect, specially designed apps are required to actually see anything 3-D, but considering how cool the initial apps are, the App Store will be filling with them before long. Sony
And since the My3D viewer puts you so close to the screen, the two tiny images in the iPhone look like a 60-inch plasma screen or as if you're sitting in an IMAX theater.
While movies will be really cool, the My3D viewer can also utilize the accelerometer in the iPhone as it does in 360 Sharks. Turn your head and the camera follows you wherever you're going. I may need to get a padded room at home just to play video games now. The iPhone is really opening up possibilities, and Apple hasn't had to lift a finger to make it 3-D.
When the iPhone was initially released, part of Apple's plan with the App Store was to create a platform for outside developers to innovate, and this is a prime example. As much as I like Angry Birds, an interactive 3-D game is a huge leap forward from that relatively simple game. Now the question becomes: Who will leverage this to game and video success? Time will tell.
Have you tried My3D yet? What do you think? Leave your thoughts in our comments section below.

History has a huge role to play in preparing young people for the future by informing them about our past experiences. Studying History helps students to understand the world they live in and it also prepares them for a lifetime of enjoying History.
Above all else, we seek to create a love of history amongst our students. We firmly believe that this in turn creates a desire to learn and students will consequently make greater progress.
Employers and University admission tutors who see that you have a qualification in History know certain things about you. They know that you have studied a rigorous academic subject and that you have developed certain key skills which can be applied to all situations.
The purpose of History at Paulet is to help students to:-
Study topics that stimulate interest in the subject, to learn lessons from the past and have a better understanding of the world they live in.
Learn crucial key skills that can help in any career and in any other subject.
Develop communication skills and the ability to understand other people's points of view.
Learn to evaluate source material and how to use evidence to present a clear analytical argument.
Think for themselves and present their own ideas.
Curricular offering:
The History curriculum offers a comprehensive range of experiences and topics to meet the needs and interests of all pupils. It has been carefully chosen to enhance students' understanding of the world they live in and to hopefully give them a lifelong interest in the subject. The Department aims to provide as much breadth as possible whilst at the same time, giving students an opportunity to study the relevant events and issues in sufficient depth.
In year 7, students examine the movement of people from the Roman period to the Middle Ages. They look at change throughout the periods along with significant individuals and events such as King John and the Battle of Hastings.
Year 8 covers the Tudors and Stuarts where students consider the role of monarchy throughout this period of turbulent change. They also spend time considering the lives of 'ordinary people' too. This is followed by an investigation of the industrial period. Finally, they begin to look at Twentieth Century history with the beginnings of the First World War.
In year 9, students look at a range of other Twentieth Century topics including the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the social revolution in the 1960s, before embarking on an in depth study of Crime and Punishment c1000-present day.
In years 10 and 11 we follow the AQA course where students study a range of topics. They begin with an in depth study of the USA in the 1920s followed by Civil Rights in the USA in the 1950s and 1960s. They also complete and in depth study of Nazi Germany. The remainder of year 11 focuses on the Causes of World War One, the Peace Treaties following the war and Hitler's foreign policy. These topics are all assessed through examination at the end of year 11. Also included in the course are two pieces of controlled assessment based on life in Britain during World War One and Two.
At Advanced Level students study a British option, The Tudors: England, 1485–1603. They also complete a depth study, Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-45, both of which are assessed through examination at the end of year 13. They also complete an historical investigation on Civil Rights in USA. This is a personal study and makes up 20% of their final grade.

The Proposal
This year, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day (one of Katie's favorite holidays) a day early. Our plans for the day began with a Veteran's Association pancake breakfast and a trip to the Farmer's Market, but most of the day revolved around an elaborate scavenger/treasure hunt that Katie put together for Jamie (a skill learned from/inspired by childhood treasure hunts with her sister) that lasted most of the day and led him all over town. It was a pretty challenging hunt, Katie planted clues with puzzles that Jamie had to figure out to lead him to the next clue.
For example, one clue contained 2 slips of paper: one had a series of numbers ("18 7 7 26 16 22 8 13 12 7 18 14 22 7 12 21 26 15 15…") and the other read, "find this written in a book… with notes…" Jamie ransacked the entire house, looking through all of his old calculus and physics books (some type of equation?), all of the music books from piano to cello to guitar (some set of chords?), along with most other books in the house (a series of page numbers??). He was pretty much out of ideas and reaching a point of despair when there was a knock at the door. It was one of Jamie's friends, Gretchen. She was out to get a bagel and thought she'd stop by to say hi and oh, by the way, she thinks Jamie left this envelope at her house the other day, she says as she hands it to him. With a suspicious look, he opened the envelope to find a partial key that he used to decode the series of numbers. When deciphered, they read, "It takes no time to fall in love, but it takes you years to know what love is. La, la, la, la, la life is wonderful…", which he recognized right away as the lyrics to a song by Jason Mraz. In a minute, he was up and on his way over over to Watermelon Music. He scoured the music books until he found one with songs by Jason Mraz, flipped the the song "Life is Wonderful" and found stuck between the pages two close-up photos of a wooden figurine… and so on…
The last clue led him to our plot at the community garden at just about sunset. Katie had had Gretchen put out a blanket and some champagne and strawberries, so when we arrived at our garden, it was all set up. So, we sipped champagne together and walked around the gardens, talking about life and all the exciting things they've done together. It was very romantic. Jamie had brought the ring along, even though he didn't really know where we were going, thanks to a tip from his sister, Lisa. At the edge of the gardens in the light of the sunset, Jamie got down on one knee and popped the question… and Katie said yes.
It was such a surprise, because Katie had planned the whole day of treasure hunting out for Jamie, but she certainly didn't expect it to end like that!
