In the years since World War II, there has been a good deal of speculation as to why the Jews did not do more to resist the Nazis, why they passively accepted what befell them. There are rational, clear responses to this question. Basically, there was no way to resist, no hope of overcoming the numbers, weapons, and cruelty of the Germans and their allied oppressors. Anyone who tried to stand up to the Germans, let alone fight them, was immediately killed; in addition, if anyone escaped from a ghetto or camp, many others were killed as a punishment. Thus, by putting the responsibility for the murder of other innocent people on those who tried resistance or escape, the Germans devised a most effective preventive weapon.
In spite of this almost insurmountable difficulty, individual Jews as well as groups did carry out desperate, heroic acts of resistance throughout the war in all parts of Europe. From the ghettos to the slave labor camps and concentration camps, Jews managed to work underground, escape, accumulate weapons, sabotage German installations, attack German fighting units, even organize some major uprisings.
Three stories in this section are about the simple yet profound heroism of children. Often because they could get around relatively unnoticed, young girls and boys ventured out to secure food or to do other dangerous errands. The three stories in "Unsung Heroes" speak of these children.
Actual resistance fighters, for the most part, were single young men who did not have the responsibility of taking care of a family. Groups of these young men formed clandestine organizations, planning escapes from the ghettos even though this might very well cause punishment or death for other ghetto inhabitants. After escaping, they joined partisan bands in the forests, living in huts or underground, scrounging for food, attacking and sabotaging wherever they could. "Lithuanian Friends" and "Friend or Enemy?" detail the hardships and perils, the resolute strength of men who went this precarious route.
Even in the concentration camps, where conditions were most austere and death almost inevitable, organized resistance existed. "Resist in Everything!" is a gripping story about resistance brigades functioning with military precision under the noses of the Germans. The story takes place during a death march, one

The body of a woman has been found in a lock-up garage in London by police investigating the case of missing oil executive Carole Waugh.
The body was found in Lime Court in New Malden, south-west London, on Thursday at 19:00 BST, the Metropolitan Police said.
Miss Waugh, 50, of Harrowby Street, Marylebone, was last seen on 16 April.
Police began a murder inquiry on Wednesday and a 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
He was detained at Luton airport on Tuesday on suspicion of kidnap and conspiracy to defraud, but subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder.
A warrant to detain him further was granted at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Thursday, police said.Missing jewellery
In total 10 people have been arrested over Miss Waugh's disappearance.
The body is yet to be formally identified and a post-mortem examination will take place later.
The lock-up, where the body was found, is in a row of garages behind two detached 1930s-built houses in Kingston.
There is a police cordon in place on the driveway leading to the garages and a tent has been put up close to one of the garages.
Matt Elcox, 17, who lives in nearby Lime Grove, said: "I was woken by the sound of police cars coming and going late last night.
"It is surprising because you don't see much activity around the garages and certainly nothing suspicious."
A number of personal possessions, including Cartier jewellery, have gone missing from Miss Waugh's flat in central London and "significant plundering of her estate has taken place", police said.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation arising from transactions associated with Miss Waugh's identity.
The executive was reported missing by her family on 4 May.

A Taliban rocket attack on a trucking terminal in Peshawar has destroyed more than 20 NATO trucks and set part of the terminal ablaze.
The fire, described as an "inferno" by Geo News, "is getting more and more difficult to control" due to the "intensity" of the flames. It is unknown if further vehicles or shipping containers are in danger of being destroy.
The early Sunday morning attack in Peshawar is the first major strike against NATO's supply lines through northwestern Pakistan since the Feb. 3 attack in the Jamrud region in the Khyber tribal agency. The Taliban bombed a vital bridge spanning a dry river bed. The bridge was nearly destroyed and traffic was halted for more than a week until the route could be reopened.
The attack in Jamrud forced the government to shut down the route for the sixth time since September 2008. Some Pakistani truckers have refused to travel through Peshawar and Khyber as the security situation has deteriorated.
There have been multiple attacks on NATO truck terminals along Peshawar's Ring Road. More than 450 NATO vehicles and containers have been destroyed in a series of attacks on shipping terminals in Peshawar as well as attacks on convoys moving through the region. During several bold attacks over the course of two days in early December 2008, an estimated force of 300 to 400 Taliban fighters destroyed more than 200 vehicles and shipping containers.
NATO's most vital resupply route for its forces in Afghanistan stretches from the Pakistani port city of Karachi to Peshawar, then through the Khyber Pass to Kabul. More than 70 percent of NATO supplies and 40 percent of its fuel moves through Peshawar.
Taliban commander Hakeemullah Mehsud has been leading operations against NATO's supply lines in Khyber and Peshawar. Hakeemullah is a senior lieutenant of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud and the cousin of Qari Hussain, the notorious Taliban commander who trains child suicide bombers in South Waziristan.
Hakeemullah has become an influential leader in Pakistan's Taliban movement. He also commands the Taliban in Kurram and Arakzai tribal agencies. He declared sharia, or Islamic law, in Arakzai in January 2009. In Khyber, Hakeemullah has rivaled the Lashkar-e-Islam for control.
The government and military have launched several offensives to drive out the Taliban in Peshawar and Khyber, but Pakistanis living in the area say the efforts have been unsuccessful.
The military claimed that Peshawar has been freed from a Taliban siege, but a recent series of deadly attacks against police stations and outposts in the city and surrounding areas indicates the Taliban still have a grip on the region.
The growing Taliban insurgency in the Northwest Frontier Province coupled with the assault on the supply lines has forced NATO to seek alternative supply routes into Pakistan. In Late January, NATO secured an agreement with Russia to allow supplies to pass through the Central Asian republics. NATO officials have said its members could use Iranian routes to resupply its forces, while the US is also exploring the possibility of establishing routes through Iran.

The new generation of entrepreneurs has a strong attraction to social entrepreneurship. It's a way to feel the resonating impact of doing something good for the world while turning a profit.
But while the number of social entrepreneurs has grown rapidly in the past decade, their efforts are scattered and often fail to reach a critical mass. It's not due to a lack of enthusiasm; they often simply forget to apply their private-sector knowledge to the nonprofit world.
A big part of fulfilling that mission comes from having an actionable plan. After all, any venture's success hinges on being able to carefully define a realistic goal. I've given a lot of thought to this because I'm passionate about easing the heavy impact of chronic diseases around the world. But despite my gusto, I'm still just one person. So I linked up with the Clinton Global Initiative. Right away, I was able to connect with people who are experienced in solving problems on a global scale. But more than that, I was exposed to its unique model, where people are driven by their commitment to action — a focused, defined assignment that they develop strategies around.
And this has made all the difference.

California Redemption Value
California Redemption Value (CRV), also known as California Refund Value, is a regulatory fee[1] paid on recyclable beverage containers in California. The fee was established by the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act of 1986 (AB 2020, Margolin), and since 2010 the program has been administered by the Cal/EPA California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) (it was previously administered by the California Department of Conservation, Division of Recycling).[2]
The bottler pays CRV for beverages with aluminum, plastic, glass, and bimetal containers and anyone can receive the same amount in exchange for the container by bringing it to a recycling center. The symbol on beverage containers eligible for reimbursement is "CA CRV". Currently, CRV is 5 cents for containers less than 24 US fluid ounces (710 ml) and 10 cents for containers 24 US fluid ounces (710 ml) or larger.[3] The state also allows recyclers to pay by weight, for which the state also sets a separate minimum price per pound (kg). When redeeming in quantities up to 50 containers, the consumer has the right to be paid by count on request. In larger quantities, the recycler has discretion.[4] Recyclers have the right to refuse or offer a reduced price for contaminated materials. It is illegal to bring in out of state cans or bottles to California to recoup the CRV and violators can be charged with fraud, a felony.[5]
The charge for California Redemption Value is similar to bottle bill deposits used in other states, but is technically a fee imposed on the distributor of the beverage. The fee tends to be passed along to the retailer and to the consumer via normal market forces. Distributors and retailers usually break out the CRV as a distinct part of the purchase price in advertising and on receipts (for example the charge for a 50-cent bottle of soda may appear on the receipt as "45 cents plus 5 cents CRV").
One way the difference between CRV and a system in which the consumer pays a deposit or tax shows up is that sales tax applies to the CRV amount, if the item is subject to sales tax.[6] If it were not part of the basic price of the product, sales tax would not apply to it. Accordingly, when the State of California raised the CRV from $0.04 on 2 L bottles and $0.02 on cans to $0.08 and $0.04, respectively, then again to $0.10 and $0.05, respectively, it was also raising California's sales tax revenue gained on the imposed fee.
Other states have similar bottle bills/deposit laws, including Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Vermont.[7]
Types of beverages[edit]
CRV is paid on the following types of beverages:
- Carbonated and noncarbonated water
- Carbonated and noncarbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, and sport drinks
- Coffee and tea drinks
- Beer and other malt beverages
- 100% fruit juice in containers smaller than 46 US fluid ounces (1,400 ml).[8]
CRV is not paid on the following:
- Milk, white or flavored
- Medical food
- Infant formula
- Wine
- Distilled Spirits Coolers (not distilled spirits)
- 100% fruit juice in containers 46 US fluid ounces (1,400 ml) or more[8]
- 100% vegetable juice in containers more than 16 US fluid ounces (470 ml)[8]
- Products not in liquid or "ready to drink" form
- Products not intended for human consumption
- Containers not made of glass, metal, or plastic

Daily Look: Over the (Crop) Top?
Shirt & Ring: Asos // Skirt: Target // Shoes: Chinese Laundry via ModCloth // Earrings: Gift
Ok, so I set this outfit out to wear yesterday and then chickened out and wore something else. Then I did it again today! Maybe my unwillingness to bite the bullet and actually wear this outfit to work should tell me something. But then again, maybe I need to be a little more courageous with my fashion. I just don't even know anymore.
Clearly I am thinking way too hard about this; someone guide me!
What do you think? Is neon yellow and a crop top fun and happy or just plain cuckoo?

Go for it! If you're worried about the top riding up, just tuck in a cami underneath.

Do you know that:
1. Starfish are not fish. Neither are jellyfish.
2. Although the fangtooth fish is only a few inches long, it has teeth about the size of a human's
3. The mudskipper is a fish that spends most of its time out of water and can "walk" on its fins. It carries a portable water supply in its gill chambers when it leaves the water. It can also breathe through the pores of its wet skin.
4. Catfish have over 27,000 taste buds. Humans have around 7,000.
5. Most brands of lipstick contain fish scales.
6. Lungfish can live out of water for several years. It secretes a mucus cocoon and burrows itself under the unbaked earth. It takes in air with its lung through a built-in breathing tube that leads to the surface. A lungfish has both gills and a lung.
7. Seahorses are the only fish that swim upright.
8. Some fish, such as the great white shark, can raise their body temperature. This helps them hunt for prey in cold water.
9. The oldest known age for a fish was an Australian lungfish. In 2003, it was still alive and well at 65 years old.
10. Fish use a variety of low-pitched sounds to convey messages to each other. They moan, grunt, croak, boom, hiss, whistle, creak, shriek, and wail. They rattle their bones and gnash their teeth. However, fish do not have vocal chords. They use other parts of their bodies to make noises, such as vibrating muscles against their swim bladder.
11. Fish can form schools containing millions of fish. They use their eyes and something called a lateral line to hold their places in the school. The lateral line is a row of pores running along the fish's sides from head to tail. Special hairs in the pores sense changes in water pressure from the movements of other fish or predators.
12. Since a fish's jaw is not attached to its skull, many fishes can shoot their mouths forward like a spring to catch startled prey.
13. Electric eels and electric rays have enough electricity to kill a horse.
14. Sharks are the only fish that have eyelids.
15. Fish have sleep-like periods where they have lowered response to stimuli, slowed physical activity, and reduced metabolism but they do not share the same changes in brain waves as humans do when they sleep.
16. Some fish, such as the herbivorous fish (grazers), often lack jaw teeth but have tooth-like grinding mills in their throats called pharyngeal teeth.
17. Most fish have taste buds all over their body.
18. An estimated one third of male fish in British waters are changing sex due to pollution in human sewage.
19. Saltwater fish need to drink more water than freshwater fish. Since seawater is saltier than the liquids in a fish's body, water inside the fish is constantly flowing out. If they didn't drink to replace the lost water, saltwater fish would dry up like prunes.
20. The oldest fishhook ever found dates back to about 42,000 years ago.
21. Most fish have little salt in them. Sharks, however, have meat as salty as the ocean they live in.
22. Most fish can see in color and use colors to camouflage themselves or defend themselves and their territory. Most fish have the best possible eyesight for their habitat and can most certainly see you peering at them in a fish tank. Some fish can see polarized and ultraviolet light.
23. The freshwater Pygmy and Luzon gobies of the Philippines, the saltwater Marshal Islands goby, and the tiny rice fish from Thailand all reach a maximum length of 1/2″, roughly the size of a grain of rice. They are typically considered the world's smallest fishes.
24. The term "fish" is used when referring to one species of fish (e.g., 10 salmon are 10 fish). The term "fishes" is used when referring to more than one species (e.g., 10 salmon, 3 trout, and 1 angel fish are 14 fishes).
25. Most types of seahorses pair for life. Female seahorses lay their eggs inside a pouch on the male seahorse's belly. When the babies are ready to hatch, the male holds onto a piece of seaweed with his tail and rocks back and forth until the babies pop out of his pouch.
26. A seahorse can move each of its eyes separately. One eye can look forward while the other looks backward. Like a Chameleon, Seahorses can also change their color to match their surroundings.
27. Unlike bony fish, sharks and rays do not have swim bladders. They have to swim all the time, even when they are sleeping. Otherwise, they will sink to the bottom of the ocean.
28. There are approximately 32,000 different kinds of fish in the world today, which is more than all the other kinds of vertebrates combined. Scientists are discovering new species all the time. Scientists have explored only 1% of the ocean depths. They believe millions of new kinds of animals and fish are down there, waiting to be discovered.
29. Sometimes tornadoes pick up fish while traveling over water and carry them over land, where the fish rain down. These "fish showers" have been happening for thousands of years. Roman writer Pliny the Younger describes this phenomenon in the 1st century A.D
30. Anableps, four-eyed fish, can see above and below water at the same time.
31. Male anglerfish are much smaller than the female. While the female can reach up to 24 inches long, the males barely reach 1.6 inches long and live as parasites on their mates. They stay together for life. As the male ages, he gets smaller and smaller. The female anglerfish's light is always "on."
32. The batfish plays dead when danger is near. It floats motionless on its side when scared, making it look like a dead leaf floating on the surface of the water.
33. A male emperor angelfish lives together with up to five female mates. If the emperor angelfish dies, one of the females turns into a male fish and becomes the leader of the group.
34. In Japan, the fugu, or puffer fish, is a succulent but lethal delicacy. It contains tetrodotoxin, a deadly poison. However, it is so delicious that Japanese gourmets risk their lives to prepare it. To make this high-risk dish, chefs must have a certificate from a special school that teaches preparation of this toxic fish.
35. Some fish do not have scales. Sharks, for example, have rough sandpapery skin instead of scales.
36. The slowest fish is a seahorse. It swims so slowly that a person can barely tell it is moving. The slowest is the Dwarf Seahorse, which takes about one hour to travel five feet. It even looks like it is simply standing up, not swimming.
37. The word "piranha" is from the Tupi (Brazil) pira nya and means "scissors." Found in freshwater rivers in South America, piranhas have razor-sharp teeth. They typically eat fish, insects, seeds, fruit, and even larger animals such as horses. While there are no proven reports of piranhas killing a person, they do eat human carcasses.
38. The most poisonous fish in the world is the stone fish. Its sting can cause shock, paralysis, and even death if not treated within a few hours.
39. The biggest fish in the world is the giant whale shark, which can grow to nearly 60 feet, or the length of two school buses. It weighs over 25 tons and eats mainly plankton. It has over 4,000 teeth, though they are only 3 mm long.
40. A fish can drown in water. Like humans, fish need oxygen, so if there isn't enough oxygen in the water, they will suffocate.
Amazing facts aren't they? There's more where that came from, and trust me; one of the best ways to appreciate fish is by studying them. To study them, you may need to raise them as pets through Aquariums. Watch them grow and appreciate their existence.

ROW DTLA has a lot of big things in store for Los Angeles this year.
Taking much of the former American Apparel Warehouse space, the 30-acre lot currently functions as a destination for Sunday's weekly Smorgasburg food fair. However, ROW has planned to become a hub of upscale shops, restaurants, workspace and more since its inception last summer. There are already empty retail spaces lined down the main street of the plaza, waiting for the next boutique, tech company or creative artist to occupy it. With February's new Spring Collective release of pop-ups, it's only inevitable that ROW will become a major hub for both locals and tourists within the next two years.
Formerly 30 acres of railroad space, ROW DTLA is nearly 100 years old, and was originally the LA Terminal Market. Run by New York-based Capital Atlas Group, the space is sprinkled with essences of East Coast culture. It only makes sense that Brooklyn's Smorgasburg was the first piece of NY to find its way to the similar urban jungles of Downtown Los Angeles. Tall historic buildings and platforms are scattered throughout, and chic boutiques, ivy accent walls and gardens are well-stocked. It's as if you've stepped into LA's version of the High Line and Chelsea Market; the area is eagerly awaiting more boutiques to complete the replica.
One big LA difference that Capital Atlas has accounted for, of course, is the parking situation. Free two-hour parking on Sundays may be just the right amount of time to get a good feel for the sights at ROW DTLA when Smorgsburg rolls around. Otherwise, visitors are granted 45 minutes of validated parking on weekdays. The ten-story parking garage has over 5,000 spots too.
The shopping area is equally massive. 15 restaurants and over 100 merchants have spaces waiting to be set up inside the center, making this a unique destination, a chic outdoor mall. Current occupancies include sweet caffeinated treats like Café Dulce (Dos, their second location), SPLENDID, Ella Moss, and chic ceramics from Not Neutral. Renowned eateries like San Francisco's Tartine Manufactory are expected to join the pack soon.
A fun highlight that has started to attract more visitors is the Spring Collective — a fitness, lifestyle and cultural hub matching the interests of the average, hip 20-something Angeleno. Fitness clubs like Bender Yoga have taken over the rooftops of DTLA, offering vinyasa classes with a breathtaking sunset view of the downtown skyline – followed by a dance party with live music, of course. Does it get any more LA than that?
Another unique brand that has established its headquarters at ROW is Jig+Saw, a co-working space aimed at female entrepreneurs. Here, female collaborations are enforced with networking, events, creative services, freelance opportunities and more.
Lastly, a variety of artists have established studio spaces inside the plaza, most of which are fashion-oriented. The Cartorialist and photographer Jordan Zobrist are just a couple of the names you can find while exploring ROW DTLA.
More boutiques selling items like Tokyo-branded bicycles and interior décor made their landing this month as well. For a more full line-up of residencies, you can visit the website to check it out.
While only 17.6 percent of the spaces were filled within the first six months of its opening, 2017 is expected to bring the biggest changes. February's group of businesses are just the beginning of what is soon to be rapid changes within the next two years.

When a deadly, genetically engineered virus is accidentally released onboard a transatlantic flight to Paris, a slew of unholy terror is unleashed. A scientist on the run from the CIA manages to smuggle a contaminated body on a commercial overseas flight; turning the plane into an incubator for a growing army of the undead. With a zombie invasion spreading through the cabin, only a handful of passengers remain to fight off their fellow infected travelers and land the plane before it is too late.
You can sum up this film as follows: Snakes On A Plane - Snakes + Zombies = Flight Of The Living Dead.
Even though "Snakes On A Plane" had horrible CGI created snakes, I liked the film. I'm not ashamed to admit that it really got to me because I HATE snakes, so the spine-chills were very much present, bad CGI or not. I didn't pay any attention to the various bashing reviews, and I have actually known people to bash the film, and criticize me for liking it, without having seen it themselves! Having liked "Snakes On A Plane," and with my overall love of Zombie films, I pretty much expected to, at least, like this film.
Did I like this film? Yes. But it doesn't go very far beyond "Like." The film definitely had its flaws; If you have yet to see the film and are planning to, I have composed a "List of Annoyances" that really drug the film down for me.
List Of Annoyances:
Jackie is an dumb, annoying, psycho-bitch.
Anna is a rude bitch.
Peter is one of the most dumb, and annoying jock-type characters ever! (Passing a football on a plane = DUMB )
The zombies scream like pterodactyls.
Apparently Zombies are too dumb to figure out how to unfasten their safety belts. Oh Stewardess?!!
There is a major lack of common sense among those on the plane! ( I.E: Firing a weapon inside a plane = BAD IDEA!)
The flooring of a plane would have to be stronger than it is portrayed in this film. If it weren't then it would not be safe. Hence, it's not made out of cardboard!
I refuse to believe that a Nuns legs would rip off so easily.
Even zombies would implode after falling from a plane.
The zombies in this film, are your 28 days later - Olympic running - virus-induced, types. Only in this film they ARE actually dead.
With all of its flaws it is still better, in my opinion, than the remake of "Day of The Dead," which isn't really saying much.
I did like the intro to the film, and the film was shot well. It maintained my interest and didn't bore me, but it just didn't have a huge wow factor, probably because it is so similar to "Snakes…" and therefore I rate it 3 out of 5 stars. I liked it, but it won't go on my list of absolute favorites. It had more negatives than positives.

BY Brian Josepher
A story the other day caught my eye. A young couple was caught copulating in a New Jersey Ikea. According to the male member of the couple, Ikea has become the "sexspot," or the hotspot for public acts of sex amongst his generation.
Ikea apparently is the new Walmart.
To me, Ikea, or Walmart, just sounds uncomfortable. That started me thinking. What are the worst places for public sex? This is one columnist's opinion.
The smell of moth larva wafting over the exhaust system. The aisles of junk piled upon junk. The ubiquitous yellow smiley faces. The discount rates advertising the strangest pricing. Who can make love next to $21.39 or $17.61? Walmart as a sexspot is uninviting for the very reason that consumers shop Walmart in the first place, the prices. Ironic.
People talk about the Mile High Club as the best sex they've ever had. Supposedly the atmospheric pressure increases the intensity of the orgasm. Personally, I don't get it. Cramped quarters, unclean environment, disturbed by that knock on the door and a stewardess threatening to "land this plane if you don't come right out." Better to tamper with the smoke alarm and light up a cigarette. Oh, and then the walk of shame that follows. You and your partner leave the lavatory together. All eyes are upon you, or appear to be. The act of sex should not be flaunted. The Mile High Club is a club for flaunters.
I lost my virginity in a station wagon. What do I remember? The January cold of Colorado. Shivering overriding any amount of passion or curiosity. Wanting to get it over with and go get warm. Sex to me wasn't nearly as inviting as a roaring fire.
At least in a station wagon there was plenty of space. For a time later in my life I was a proponent of Saab sex. I don't want to say that alcohol was involved, because that would mean drinking and driving, but, well, nobody sober selects Saab sex. There's simply no room to maneuver. That stick shift can be quite an obstacle.
I'm not a fan of Hummers. How a war machine became the new beetle, I have no idea. Maybe it has to do with the sexual adventure. Hummers are a mini motel room. And they can take you anywhere, to the top of Everest included. Now there's a Mile High Club of a different sort.
Friends of mine used to enjoy sex in a bar well. Don't ask me why. Her tush on ice. Knees banging into bottles of vodka, gin and vermouth. Everything a little sticky.
Personally, I think they liked to watch themselves and the wall length mirror gave them that opportunity. I also know that she was a big fan of pickled onions. She didn't have far to reach.

Science teacher Brandon Watters is a gamer. He particularly enjoys playing The Room on his iPad. The Room transports gamers "into a unique space that blends spellbinding visuals with intriguing problems to solve," according to its website. If you played Myst on your PC back in the 1990s like my brother and I did, The Room is a lot like that, Brandon says—super fun and filled with mystery. I don't know about you, but I'm checking it out over spring break …
You heard it from Bill Daggett during our February Institute Day: Games help students learn more and learn faster. Why? Because like The Room and Myst, they immerse gamers into a fictional world where they rely on critical thinking and problem solving skills to compete against themselves. Also, because they are fun.
Daggett's talk prompted social studies teacher Morgan O'Connor to invite Brandon, Antioch ILC director Barb Mason, and me to a meeting to discuss the possibilities surrounding gaming in District 117. We didn't get far, but at least we got the conversation started.
Here are a few takeaways:
As I finish this blog post, a sophomore named Jennifer asks me, "Ms. Doyle, what goes around your neck?"
I said, "Huh?"
She said, "I'm playing a game and I need to know things that go around your neck. I've already said necklace and scarf."
"Ok. Ummm… a tie?"
"Tie! Good, that's a new one."
A student sitting next to us named Megan chimes in: "I have that game, too. The next one you need to know is 'collar.'"
"Ohhh, collar…," Jennifer says. "Thanks."
See? Gaming is everywhere.

The Waiting Bride
Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 9, 2011 (message contributor)
Summary: God's word is the water that we must bathe in daily. We wash away everything that does not conform to the image of Christ. As God's 'wife' it must be our earnest desire for him to see us as beautiful and pleasing. O that we could be his delight.
Opening illustration: Watch the video clip 'God's Valentine.'
Let us turn to Revelation 19 and catch up with John's vision of the 'Bride of Christ' and how she gets herself ready for her Bridegroom.
Introduction: The imagery and symbolism of marriage is applied to Christ and the body of believers known as the church. These are those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as their personal savior and have received eternal life. In the New Testament, Christ, the Bridegroom, has sacrificially and lovingly chosen the church to be His bride (Ephesians 5: 25-27). Just as there was a betrothal period in biblical times during which the bride and groom were separated until the wedding, so is the bride of Christ separate from her Bridegroom during the church age. Her responsibility during the betrothal period is to be faithful to Him (2 Corinthians 11: 2; Ephesians 5: 24). At the Second Coming of Christ, the church will be united with the Bridegroom, the official "wedding ceremony" will take place and, with it, the eternal union of Christ and His bride will be actualized (Revelation 19: 7-9; 21: 1-2).
Who is the 'Bride of Christ?'
• Some say Israel is the bride of Christ. They base their opinion on a verse in Isaiah: "For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel" (Isaiah 54: 5).
• Others say the heavenly city, New Jerusalem, is the bride of Christ. They base this theory on their interpretation of Revelation 21: 2-4
• New Jerusalem was beautifully adorned as a bride, John said, because it will be the eternal home of Christ's bride. But notice that while it was a prepared city and a beautiful city, it was never called the bride.
• The Bible teaches that the church is the bride of Christ. To better understand this teaching about the bride of Christ, let's review the ancient Jewish wedding.
(a) The Price of Marriage
Now if a man wanted to marry her he had to ask her father. If the father was agreeable he would set the bride price. This bride price was whatever the father set and had to be paid by the prospective husband before the marriage would take place.
(b) The Covenant Marriage
In Jeremiah 31: 31-33 God declared that His covenant was a marriage contract at Mount Sinai saying, "The time is coming," declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, declares the LORD".
Why make another covenant? Because the first covenant was of the letter and the letter kills but the new covenant is of the Spirit and the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3: 6). This new covenant is another marriage contract that will not be broken. It was sealed with the shed blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary! Before Jesus was crucified, He gathered His apostles during His last Passover meal and took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom" ( Matthew 26: 27-29). There are several key points to what Jesus said in this passage. First we must understand Jewish wedding customs to grasp fully what He was saying. When a Jewish man proposed marriage to a Jewish woman, He would give her a contract called a Ketubah. In the contract were all the promises to his future bride. It also stated the price he would pay to obtain her. If she agreed, the bridegroom would hand her a cup of wine, if she drank from the cup the marriage was sealed and they became legally married. He would then say to her "I will not drink of this cup until we are reunited". This was said because they would separate for at least a year as he prepared a place for them. Another reason he would not drink of the cup again was because if he did he would be proposing to someone else! No wonder Jesus said, "drink from it, all of you", because their acceptance of the cup meant they would be legally married. He also said, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins". In this statement Jesus was laying out the price He would pay to obtain His bride. The wages of sin is death and He paid this on our behalf (Romans 6: 23). He could pay this because He Himself was without sin (Hebrews 4: 15). Have you partaken of His cup? If you have, did you realize you have already accepted marriage to Jesus! Does this change your commitment and faithfulness to Him? It should, knowing that God has called you to have an intimate relationship with Him. You therefore should seek to know the depth of this relationship so you may "know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3: 19).

Pattern: Design B Anchor Sweater from Sirdar Gorgeous Babies Knitting Book
Yarn: Paton's Classic Wool from stash
Yardage: about 200 yards
Needles: Size 6 & 8
Cast on: July 14 2012
Notes: I did run out of yarn on Nightsong. As I wait for additional supply and with London Olympics starting next week, I decided to do something small and fun. I adored this Sirdar pattern booklet ever since Henry was a wee one. The picture of him in Design L is on Ravelry pattern page. I didn't knit a lot of baby things, for one thing when the baby or toddler is small, one's hands tend to be very occupied. Baby things are expected to be knitted in acrylic or washable wool, both of which I dislike. Now I'm just going to knit something cute and adorable and in the wool yarn that my hands prefer. I don't know what will happen to the sweater yet, it sure is fun to make.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday! Join the party on Andrea's blog and leave me a comment!

Why should a teacher read?
*You should read because you deserve it! (Most important reason!) Reading is an escape from stress and daily duties - a chance to renew, relax, and perhaps even learn something new!
*You want to get your students to love reading and become lifelong readers. You do want that, right? Of course you do! Students learn much more from what they see us doing than from what we tell them they should do. If you are not a lifelong reader yourself, your lessons about the love of reading will not resonate the way they would if you already are the kind of reader you are asking your students to become.
How to find time to live your life as a reader
*Look at reading as the pure pleasure that it can be, and promise yourself some reading time when another "must do" task is complete. Do one load of laundry and then read. Mark one set of papers and then read for 15 minutes, finish entering ALL your report card grades or online data and then grab an hour of guilt-free reading.
*Pull the shades or close the blinds in your classroom for 15 minutes of your "duty-free" lunch time. Put your feet up and sink into a good book. You know that if you venture out into the staff lounge or workroom, someone will find you with something for you to do.
*Give up one email checkpoint during the day and choose to read instead. The emails will still be there later. Read a professional book and call it "PD" if you're feeling even the tiniest bit guilty. *Read a book that you may be interested in as a read-aloud or as a recommendation for your students. Thoroughly enjoy it yourself first so that you can talk about it with passion and delight! Oh, and call it lesson planning if you need an excuse, because that's exactly what it is. Your having read it first will enrich that lesson immeasurably!
*Mark up your lesson plan book with formative assessment stopping points that you know kids can peer correct or self-correct and then reflect on. You do not have to let EVERY. SINGLE. PAPER pass through your golden hands. Students will retain information better if they have to actually think about why they have responded the way they did, and what they know about the concept. Use your paper-marking time at home (or on your prep period if you have one) that very day to read! You will be amazed at how much time can actually be freed up by putting some of the responsibility for assessment in the hands of your students!
*Join a book club in your class. Each time you switch book club units, randomly select a group that you will officially join. You need to prepare for that group in the same way that you have asked students to prepare, so of course you need to read that book! You may find yourself magically switching up some of the expectations too, once you experience them from the "other side"!
*Join a real-life book club with your "friends on the outside" - real, breathing grownups who enjoy reading. If you can't find an existing book club, start one! The conversation, laughter, and fun will become just an important part of your life as reading. And...it's a great excuse to eat chocolate and maybe even a little (just a little) wine.
*Start a professional book club at work, within your school or within your district. Ditto on the laughter and stimulation found in any adult book club!
*If you must, join an online book club. I've tried this a couple of times with professional reads, but couldn't type fast enough while eating chocolate and drinking wine. For book clubs, I prefer to be in the same room with my friends. Your choice, though...could you please pass the caramels?
*Book Clubs, no matter where or how you participate, keep you accountable. We're teachers! We never want to seem as though we aren't prepared, so of course we'll keep reading that book before the club meets!
MOST IMPORTANT TAKE-AWAY Never ever ever ever ever keep reading a book you don't like. Never. Ever. Never ever ever....etc...ask a student to keep reading a book he/she does not like. There are far too many books and far too little time for that. In my opinion, reading a book that you do not like is the surest way to kill a love of reading, or to make sure that a love never grows in the first place!
Enough blog reading! Go grab a book! I am currently reading EVERYTHING Liane Moriarty has ever written. As she says, "I am meant to do this!" Love!

Below, is just a portion of the Halloween decorations they keep. Around Halloween time, they go all out to decorate. I'm not kidding. My Aunt was even born on Halloween, and she's the one who really fueled my love of spooky things during my childhood.
This beauty is probably my favorite thing in the house. It was an antique organ that came from a very old church. My aunt and uncle had it restored, and it's just so lovely. I've always wanted one of these in my home.
This is the view as you walk through their front door.
Below is a petticoat table. Back when most women wore petticoats, they would be able to see in the mirror below if it needed adjusting.
My uncle built this cannon as a prop for their pirate-themed spooktacular one Halloween. (They usually decorate to a theme each year. Their house is the talk of the town.)
This is a gazeebo in the side yard. I thought it was pictureworthy.
Well there you have it, people. I have some interesting family members with an awesome house. Hopefully, I'll be able to live in a house as nice as their's one day.

Glyos Connection
Heh. I was more inspired by the Norris Headcrab from The Thing
TJOmega wrote:Building you a better Glyos custom. We call it... TOM 2.5. I aimed for my favorite incarnation of the Toonami host bot, 2.0, but the sculpt let a few 3.0 elements into the final product. In normal room light the blue matches the animation model pretty well but you have to brighten it up to see the details.
One of the more involved builds I've had for a custom, 5 different figures donated parts to get his form as close as I could. Three Glyarmor, three Buildman, three Sarvos, one Glyan, four Outlander, and three switch pins.
While it's anime themed, I forgot that I never showed my previous custom here. Vegeteryx, the Prince of all Aviyans! The armor's just so well suited to match Saiyan armor and of course the eye visor makes an ideal scouter. Need a smoother brand of white paint though.

Characteristics of Language Development
By J.L. Frost|S.C. Wortham|S. Reifel
How early does language development begin? It begins in the womb when the fetus hears her mother's voice and language in the environment. Babies who are 4 days old can distinguish between languages. Newborns show their preference for the language that is familiar by sucking more vigorously on a nipple when they hear it as compared to an unfamiliar language (Cowley, 1997).
Like cognitive development, acquisition of language during the first 2 years is an impressive achievement. Between birth and 2 years, infants and toddlers learn enough about their language to speak and develop a vocabulary ranging from 50 to 200 words (Berk, 2002). Children of every culture and country learn the language of their community. Italian babies, for example, understand names of different kinds of pasta quite early in life (Trawick-Smith, 2006). Children from bilingual families learn words from both languages before 18 months.
Theories of Language Development
How do theorists explain language development? Three major theories have informed our understanding of how language develops. B. F. Skinner (1957) initiated the behaviorist theory of language development. Skinner proposed that language is acquired through operant conditioning; that is, parents reinforce the baby's efforts at language. Subsequently, they reinforce the most correct forms of efforts to say words. Behaviorists also propose that the child learns language through imitation. The adult conditions the child to use correct language forms by rewarding efforts to imitate adult language. Noam Chomsky (1957) understood that even very young children take charge of learning language. His theory was labeled as nativist because he believed that children have an innate ability to acquire language. He proposed that all children have a biologically based innate system for learning language that he called a language acquisition device (LAD). Chomsky...

We live in a world where we hear about new diseases and ailment almost on a daily basis. Being a baby Boomer, my ears perk up every time I hear a story of a friend or family members who now has a debilitating disease.
|English: Main symptoms of Multiple sclerosis. Sources are found in
We '
ve all
heard of M.S., Multiple Sclerosis. More
than 2.5 million people, worldwide, are thought to have it. We also know there is no known cure, as of
is a
chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, the brain, spinal
cord, and optic nerves. The damage done
by the disease creates scars, lesions, that can actually be seen with the use
of medical devices. The word
"multiple" indicates a number of scars.
Our central nervous system is made up of nerve cells that send signals to each other. Each cell is covered by a protective coating called "myelin." This coating acts as a conductor in helping signals to move at high speed from one end of the nerve cell to the other. In M.S., the disease damages the myelin in a process called "
demyelization." The result is scars and lesions that lead to
a breakdown in signal transmissions.
This can lead to discomfort, pain, and possible permanent disability.
We recently had a couple come into our showroom to view our Walk In Tubs. The wife had M.S. She was helped into the tub, sat down, and leaned back. "How much is this one," she asked? Her husband quickly shot back, "It doesn't matter sweetie. Are you comfortable?" "Yes, very. And we haven't even turned on the hot water or the jets, "she said.
From a commercial perspective, it was an easy sale. From the husband's perspective, it was an easy purchase. He had witnessed how much she had suffered. The joint pain and muscle stiffness had been almost unbearable. Plus, she had fallen twice trying to get into her traditional tub. Buying this tub for his wife was an easy choice. He wanted everything on it: Air jetted hydrotherapy, water jetted whirlpool massage and a heater for keeping the water from getting cold.
They had driven quite a way to get to our showroom. He wanted it shipped to them as soon as possible. He would have his local plumber friend to install it for him. When they left, all seemed right with the world. Maybe there's not a cure for M.S.
just yet, but we can certainly treat
the painful symptoms and prevent hazardous falls . There are many chronic ailments and diseases
afflicting our senior population today. Many more than it the past. It's great
to know that a walk in tub can help many of those people, especially the one we
Customer testimonial for in a Walk-in Tub
That couple got a great price on a walk in tub that day, but it really didn't matter to the husband. He would have paid more. His motivation was to help is wife. It was all done in the name of love.
In this article, I told you the story of a couple where the wife has Multiple Sclerosis and the husband knew that the right walk-in tub would make a difference in her life. She found the tub very comfortable and they purchased it with all the bells and whiles. They got a great price on their new walk-in tub and the husband got the satisfaction of helping his wife feel safer and better as well.

On September 11th I committed an act of radical patriotism. What, you may ask, was my act of radical patriotism?
Well, it was not criticizing the Football players who take a knee. I consider them true heroes and patriots for engaging in their 1st Amendment rights to protest the injustice and inequality that the see and experience on a daily basis in their own communities. It is not for me to question their experience, it is for me to inquire of it, ask of its validity, learn from it and then change my own behaviors.
My act of radical patriotism was also not hugging a flag, or standing with my hand over my heart, as pretty of a photo-op as that may be.
No, what I did that I consider to be radically patriotic these days was I paid my taxes. Quarterly Taxes to Federal and State Revenue departments were due on the 15th, and so on September 11th my wife and I dutifully completed our checks, put an American Flag Postage Stamp on them, and mailed them off.
I paid my taxes with a full heart and a without a lick of resentment, because I love my country and I am proud of what it does, despite not always agreeing with everything it does.
I did this because I believe that the Federal and State Government are the best vehicles for protecting the rights of citizens and are also the best institutional way to respond to disaster and provide for the common good. I paid my taxes because I enjoy the benefits of good roads, relatively stable government, social systems and safety nets that help me care for my neighbor.
I paid my taxes to show my support for those in uniform, both servicemen and law enforcement.
I paid my taxes to honor my garbage collector, my DMV employee, my Federal worker and all the State employees who in a myriad of ways make my life more manageable.
I do all of this even when I don't agree with everything a particular administration puts forth as its agenda. I paid them because I know that the institution of good government tends to endure and to self-correct when it is adequately supported.
According to a CNN/Money Magazine article in 2016, Oxfam estimated that in 2014 the top 50 U.S. companies held 1.4 Trillion dollars in cash offshore. They did so to hold profitability for themselves, their shareholders, their executives, and to some degree for their employees. But make no mistake, they did so to avoid paying U.S. taxes, and therefore to avoid doing their patriotic duty as U.S. Companies.
As the conversation about the tax rate takes place what I find missing in the debate is the call to all of those U.S. Companies to do their patriotic duty. Work for reform laws, by all means. (It's not like they don't have influence on policy anyway.) Adjust things to make the tax codes better reflect global realities, but let us not neglect to hold them accountable to what belief in America calls us all to do.
Talking about reforming tax code only on the basis of "what's in it for me" is not a good way to run a democratic government. It is, however, an excellent thing to do if you want to run a mafia or an oligarchy.
So, here's my invitation to you. Whether you are Tech 30 or Trump, join me in doing something radically patriotic this year.
Pay your taxes, thankfully.

Editor's Note: I really appreciate the comments sent to me about my blogs. At the end of most of the comments is the name of the blog read and commented on and some have given me their real names. This year at the national TCF conference I even met some of you. So many bereaved parents and each one reacts differently to their loss. I wish it was possible to talk to and see all of you, but that is not possible. I hope that you have found some way of coping now and that some of what I've said in my over 460 blogs has led you to a more positive look at your situation. I'm sorry that I had to suspend comments directly on the site, but I was getting unnecessary spam. If you'd like a personal answer, you can send me an email.

we have decided to offer once more our clients the chance to breed their own foal during 2019-2020 by renting one of our top quality mares and choosing the sire of their foal from our exceptional selection!
Then you sit back and relax whilst we look after the breeding and foaling. The price of the foal at weaning will be of 4500 Euros. Hurry to choose your preferred mare from the fabulous selection list (Dowload in pdf) , our sires include Doblon-tr, Poeta de Susaeta, Messi or you have the option to use your own sire.
The payment will be settled as follows:
*2000Euro upon choosing the mare and the sire
*1500 Euro upon picking up the weaned colt/filly
If the mare reabsorbs or aborts, or the foal dies in the period up until weaning, Susaeta stud would cover the mare again. If you have chosen a non-Susaeta stallion you will be responsible for any stallion expenses incurred.

(ANEM/IFEX) - The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) strongly condemns an attack on a Studio B television crew. Studio B says that on 22 February 2012, at the intersection of Cara Dusana and Tadeusa Koscuska streets in downtown Belgrade, one of their journalists, a cameraman and an assistant were recording a report about the functioning of public transport in the city. Dejan Z., aged 35, first hurled insults at them from the balcony of a nearby building, then came outside and physically attacked the assistant cameraman, hitting him in the head and stomach.
The police arrested the attacker and placed him in custody for 48 hours, based on a reasonable suspicion that he would disturb the public order. Charges were subsequently laid against him. The police said the television crew's assailant explained that he had carried out the attack because "they are making commercials while people in Serbia live in poverty."
ANEM has previously drawn attention to several recent cases of attacks on media outlets and journalists, noting that pressure on them has increased in the lead-up to parliamentary and local elections. It seems that journalists and cameramen from Serbian media outlets have become hostages to the perception that even the most routine reporting on an issue, such as the functioning of public transport, could constitute a disguised election campaign.
ANEM calls on all political party officials who intend to take part in the upcoming elections, as well as participants in debates on issues of public importance, to express their solidarity with the journalists and cameramen who were attacked. In addition, the organisation calls on them to contribute to the creation of an atmosphere in which journalists and media outlets are able to carry out their work and report on issues of interest to the public without any pressure or fear for their safety.

Leftover Fruit Juice
Leftover Fruit Juice
Summer is here!
With summer here, we are rolling in fresh fruit. All the fruit that was not available over the winter is back - peaches, plums, nectaries, cherries, berries, etc... We are enjoying them all.
Sometimes we get a little too crazy at the store and buy a little more than we are able to eat. When some of it gets a little past its prime and no one wants to eat it, here is a recipe my mom used when we were kids to make the leftover fruits we had into a light juice that we all enjoyed immensely!
Cook Time
- 1 gallon water
- 2-3 pounds cut up fruit (strawberries, plums, peaches, grapes, apples, pears, melons, etc...)
- sugar, to taste (optional)
- Pour water into a pot.
- Cut up fruit and place in pot.
- Bring to a boil on the stove and then simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Let sit for about an hour to cool down.
- Strain fruit out of the juice.
- Add sugar to taste.
- Pour over ice and enjoy.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
There is really no rhyme or reason to how I make this juice. I just scour the fridge for leftover fruits, cut them up, eyeball the water, boil, strain the fruit out, and serve. I usually do not add any sugar, because in my opinion it is quite sweet on its own, but I have added it to the recipe in case you would like it sweeter.
My kids love this "Leftover Juice," as we call it. They love that it kind of always tastes the same, even when we use different fruits.
