Star Wars TIE Fighter Gas Grill
Star Wars TIE Fighter Gas Grill for Camping
If you're camping, tailgating or outdoor party a portable grill is a demand for sure why put yourself through that when there's a tool that's actually made for the right job but gas has an undeniable edge when it comes to portability.
Barbeques come in all shapes and sizes, some less practical than others. But if you want to impress at your next sci-fi themed soiree, this TIE fighter-shaped unit would certainly fit the bill… if you could by it in Australia (well, easily anyway). Still, that doesn't stop us admiring its awesomeness.
Sadly, neither retailer will ship this beauty to Australia, which means you'll have to go through a forwarding service (or wait for Amazon's local entry into the market). Alternatively, you could glue some panels to your existing barbeque, though we can't be blamed for any heat-related accidents that may happen as a result.

Build the Culture and the Culture Will Come
Jessica Anderson
Self-management is a huge part of the blended classroom. Students who self-manage decide daily how, what, and where they are going to learn. Along with making these decisions, they also verbalize why they are doing what they are doing and how it helps them as learners.
Today, at the beginning of class, I had a group of girls waiting for feedback on their final project for level 3. Even though I wanted to give them the valuable feedback they deserved, I was inundated with helping other students understand the content. As I verbalized this to the girls, they said, "it's okay Mrs. Anderson, we'll begin reading the book for level 4."
As I helped my other students, I noticed movement happening. The girls each grabbed a book and moved bean bags into the lab. From a teaching perspective, I wondered what they were thinking. However, I didn't say anything. I've worked hard to build a culture of self-management and this was one of those moments I needed to trust.
Once my other students were settled and working successfully on their assignments, I popped my head in the lab. What I saw made my blended learning heart melt; three ladies taking turns reading the book A Long Walk to Water aloud. I was so impressed I had to capture the moment:
It may have taken three long months to build the culture, but build the culture and the culture will come.

02/09/2018 | Press release | Distributed by Public on 02/09/2018 18:12
Washington, DC - Today, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) hailed passage of a bipartisan budget agreement that ends the cycle of stopgap funding measures of recent months and paves the way to fund our military and boost investment in key priorities for Rhode Island. The agreement comes with a commitment for a $6 billion increase in funding to fight the ongoing opioid and mental health crises. It will also boost medical research, improve key tax credits to help limit carbon pollution, and invest in vital water and transportation infrastructure.
'This agreement is a win for Rhode Island,' said Whitehouse. 'It moves us beyond the funding showdowns of the last six months, and sets a course to overhaul the federal budgeting process and restore fiscal sanity. It paves the way for $6 billion in additional funding to battle the opioid crisis in Rhode Island and around the country, as well as increases funding for our troops and a range of Rhode Island priorities. And it includes my bipartisan legislation to combat climate change by putting a dollar value on reducing carbon pollution. I hope we can carry the bipartisan spirit of this agreement forward as Congress takes up the important work of bringing relief to Dreamers.'
Whitehouse is a lead author of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, sweeping bipartisan legislation designed to curb the opioid public health crisis and save lives. As a result of the legislation, Rhode Island has received $3 million over three years to create ten Centers of Excellence for Opioid Use Disorders. The Centers provide rapid access to treatment and comprehensive services for people struggling with opioid addiction.
'In 2016, President Obama signed into law my bill to combat addiction and promote recovery, fundamentally changing the way the federal government deals with addiction,' Whitehouse continued. 'The agreement we passed today will lead to more funding for substance abuse education, expanded medication-assisted treatment, better prescription drug monitoring programs, and help states like Rhode Island to implement their opioid battle plans. I am so proud we've secured this help for Rhode Islanders fighting to prevent opioid addiction and support those on the long, noble path of recovery.'
In addition to the increase in opioid funding, the bill includes important commitments on a range of Rhode Island priorities Whitehouse has been fighting for:
Having cleared Congress, the legislation now goes to the President's desk to be signed into law.

Development of AMP, The National Association of Music Parents, Inc. began in late 2010, with due diligence occurring in January and February of 2011. Final Incorporation papers were filed with the State of Indiana, and on May 1, 2011 the new organization was launched. In July of 2012 the organization filed its form 1023 with the Internal Revenue Service for recognition as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization. On June 18, 2013, AMP received its 501(c)(3) recognition dating back to the date of Incorporation in 2011.
Led by Scott McCormick, the former President and CEO of both Music for All and Bands of America, AMP was formed in response to the increasing need for a national parental voice in support of music and the arts as an integral discipline within the education system in America. In addition, AMP addresses the very real need to inform parents of the benefits that music participation has for their children.
"My wife and I are now parent's of our own school aged music student. After 30 years of being on the other side of the equation, I now understand more fully, on a personal level, why we need to rally the troops and proactively speak with one voice. If we do not, the potential consequences of losing music and arts curriculum in our schools will be devastating!"
- L. Scott McCormick
Because of the rapidly changing landscape in education reform, the need for a parent music group has risen exponentially. Over time, there have been a number of organizations and groups who have unsuccessfully attempted to form national parent coalitions or groups. This could be because this challenge requires a comprehensive understanding of and familiarity with the many publics involved, coupled with a vision for the kind of network required to bring all of these diverse forces together for a common good.
AMP's CEO has a 30+ year successful career track record and has the unique opportunity to immerse himself in the creation of a dynamic organization poised to address this compelling need. The abundant relationships he has built over three decades, his understanding of the breadth of the entire music industry and his close associations with all levels of music education uniquely qualify him to meet this challenge. His success will be fueled by his passion for youth and his deep personal believe that music should be an integral component of education for all students in our nation.

11-25-2010Title:Zvachim Daf 15 - sacrifices - not on foot transmissionMessage:Tu Page sacrifices - not on foot transmission pipeline by a foreign
Divided conditions page M. Mishna, for gear somewhere other than need. According to Rabbi Shimon, since in principle one could sacrifice the victim without recourse to any gear at all, no motion invalidates thought wrong. According to Rabbi Elazar, however, we must examine each case individually - is gear in this case, light where there was slaughter, consumed. If so, then the computer when the transmission disqualify the victim. The third method is a method of Tanna Kamma, believes that significant transmission is not thought that much-needed strike the victim.
Maimonides, Laws of sculptural Ahmukedshin Chapter XIII went IX, ruled Tanna Kamma. That got Ra'avad:
"Abraham said: Not clear! Edasugein whole Rabbi Elazar who said not paying transmission"
Rabbi Chaim of Brisk, to speed with the Rambam, explained the achievement Ra'avad and Maimonides's excuse is available, and our words will be explained the basic concepts our issue.
Ahger"ah explains that the proof of Ra'avad is the Ahshkela Trio tu page AE. Gemara there, want to prove that the transmission can be corrected not by foot, brings evidence from the sub-CA on the note:
"Pouring from the tool on the floor and collected - Kosher
This proves that the Talmud, that even though some of the blood approaching the altar was not pedestrian, but the blood crawl, and anyway if collected, competent and can throw it. That is, transmission that leg, though not the name of a transmission, you can correct it.
The Gemara rejects the evidence, and puts the sub in the case when blood was spilled on the outside. That is, not the direction in which the transmission should be done. Know Ahger"ah, this rejection was based on attainment of Ra'avad. After all, the words of the Talmud is clear, that where there is no blood going to need it, it is a transmission, so even if she were on foot not rule out transmission without the opportunity to correct, this is not ruled out.
In order to reconcile the words of Maimonides attainment of Ra'avad, pressing Ahger"ah Poser on the Gemara. Continued page O. IA, Gemara brings a dispute between Rabbi Haya R. Yanai for returned and led a foreign led Cohen. Here, the Gemara does not bring the evidence of blood spilled. Ahger"ah explains that the debate about a foot transmission that led to discussion about the stranger are two different discussions.
About the transmission not to walk, although her name does not set a transmission, no transmission machine is unacceptable. The intention is literally the stuff - not on foot transmission is important not the transmission. Talmud merely will it be possible to repair the transmission not to walk not because she thought transmission that is wrong foot, but because the blood altar after it was time for the work ended the transmission.
For transmission by a stranger, however, an entirely different question. Here, the party believes that it is impossible to prepare by going to Cohen, believes that what a stranger goes, but the work wrong. Because of this, there is no point to prove the possibility of discussing the amendment of the sub-spilled blood. There is not only unacceptable conduction transmission on the island.
Thus, argued Ahger"ah, inhabited achieving Ra'avad. Remember Ra'avad proved that the Talmud considers the issue of unnecessary gear motion is not considered, in light of rejection of the Talmud that the blood spilled to the outside. However, after Sahger"ah explained that the gear other than by foot transmission is considered not to be understood the Gemara differently rejection ; Gemara does not put blood in case it went down in order not to be here improper transmission. After all, because there was a transmission by foot, certainly not a transmission was also unacceptable. The purpose of the Talmud was put the case in which the blood has not reached the altar to still be room for the transmission work!
Therefore, you can not learn this rejection of the Talmud that it considers unnecessary transmission pipeline will not name, Maimonides Tanna Kama ruled that unnecessary transmission, put the transmission.

With the Bayern class, the German Imperial Navy made a leap in main gun calibre to 38cm, greatly increasing their firepower. The new guns require a lot of space though, so the number of turrets was reduced to four, dropping the central turret from the previous König class. This also meant that there was a lot more space amidships, which enabled the engineers to keep the engine rooms compact. Apart from that, the usual improvements in armour and intersection were made. Like the König class, these ships were supposed to have a diesel engine for long cruises as well, but due to the war, they were not ready in time and had to be replaced by an additional turbine. Four ships were laid down, all to be named in honour of German states, but only Bayern has been completed so far.

Buying toys on the Internet is probably one of the smartest things you can do if you're serious about saving some cash. There are many benefits when it comes to shopping on the Internet for various different products.
The first consider looking for toys for the family. These can range from many things such as board games that everyone can play together in a household. Or you can look for baby toys or even small children toys that can be found around the various websites. We have selected some simple choice that might appeal to everyone.
If you have a young boy in the house and the new Transformers toys are always popular all you have to do is a quick Google search for it and you can find many listings which you can buy from. If you prefer you may click this link and shop at the major department stores of America....you will find most toys available here. This is also important because you can compare various prices.
Of course one of the greatest things to find on the Internet would be collectible items. There are collectors from all over the world who shop on the Internet for things that they know they cannot find in their local stores. Whether it's baseball cards, memorabilia, there's just always something on the Internet that you can find for someone else. The possibilities are literally endless. This is something for everyone not just kids.
Clubwww1 Tip: The first thing to keep in mind that the child you are buying for will not necessarily like the gifts that you did when you were growing up. It's been year since you were a child, and the toys you drooled over have most probably long since been relegated to that old "vintage toy chest in the sky". Just remember one important fact...children from different generations generally like different toys.
Remember: The gender of the child is another factor to take into consideration. Now some games are fun for both boys and girls. Puzzles, board games, and arts and crafts fit into this category. Other toys tend to be more gender specific. When was the last time you saw a boy play with a pink dollhouse? Not all that common, right? Similarly, a lot of girls do not like to play with army soldier dolls. Having said this, tastes do differ amongst different children. What we are saying is, just make sure you take this into consideration during the selection process.

I have been wanting to try black domina since I first noticed it in the late 90's..I finally decided to order a pack last year.
I had 4 females out of 8 plants, from the start they are vigorous and branchy with alot of sativa features for an almost pure indica, the fan leaves are very pointy. I had 2 taller phenotypes and 2 shorter more compact phenotypes. I topped all the plant at about a foot and let them branch out to about 20-24 inches before initiating flowering so they were sexually mature and over 60 days of vegatative growth.
I was on the lookout for the 'definitive' domina pheno described by Sensi, from the start I had one female that grew taller and faster then the others with slightly more space between internodes, they gain alot of height in the first 2 weeks of flowering for a mostly indica and are super branchy.
The buds get big to very big with alot of hairs and an airy growth, little to no smell slightly peppery. 3 of the 4 females took much longer to flower then what is described by sensi, the tall/stretchy pheno that seems to correspond to the 'definitive domina' took 56 days and was deccent looking, hairy with under average calyx swelling, not very dense for an indica, peppery smell with an average amount of resin by todays standards, indica dominant stone, mostly body but not devastating like so many others have describded. Other 3 took 64+days big fluffy buds, not much resin and all hairs and leaf calyxes don't swell at all grows similar to wild afghan
So out of my 10 pack of skunk feminized I got 5 different p/types.
Out of my 10 pack black domina
6 p/types.
Not buying from you guys again sorry.
very good number one earthy afghanica
After years and years of sampling and growing different strains in New Zealand I happened upon this little darling. My first experience threw into a spin (I even changed the soil as I thought she was sick) but,as it turned out,this baby manicures itself,so clean up is a breeze. Outdoors she produces 8oz on a 2 and a 1/2 foot plant. Indoors when grown in a 100 litre bucket and vegetated for 12 to 14 days she loves you back with 2 pound plus plants. The resin content is double anything else I've tried. When making hash oil (a favourite past time in NZ) this darling produces twice as much resin she also possesses great medicinal qualities. . I love her she's a sexy beast. I have had her for 11years now ,we call her the family tree. The friends who have been lucky enough to get cuttings of her come back year after year,they find her as brilliant as I do . Thankyou Sensi Seeds for making my life complete.
I have been working with this girl for a year now, and she keeps the masses coming back. Her scent on one pheno is driving people crazy, they crave her terps, also on the same pheno is her super dark purple bud, talk about super bag appeal. Cloning her was super easy, but she really blows your mind if you take clones while she's flowering. I have never seen trich production like this girls supercrops it's crazy, she is great for extraction, giving you more grams per blast than many other strains.
9 plant square meter gaves 40 to 45 g nice old school strain beautiful & healthy plant cloning is pretty easy.

Conference on Building Energy Environment, COBEE2018
Event cancelled
The COBEE2018 conference will bring together experimental and numerical practitioners, and to foster discussions and exchange of knowledge.
The international Conference On Building Energy & Environment was first held in Dalian, China in 2008, with about 400 participants. The conference brings forth the increasing demands for indoor air quality and comfort while maintaining sustainable practices. a significant portion of electricity and thermal energy, and the conversion of primary energy to electricity and thermal energy accounts for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions. Energy is used to maintain comfortable and healthy environments in buildings, although such environments are difficult to achieve.
Building upon the success of the first conference, the 2012 conference was held in Boulder, Colorado USA, and in 2015 it was combined with ISHVAC (International Symposium on Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) conference held in Tianjin, China. In 2018, the conference heads to RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.

Thus far, Andrea Lee's short UFC career has seen her win in her sole trip to the Octagon, and then get totally embroiled in a public uproar over her husband's Nazi tattoos. And now her husband, Donny Aaron, is accused of committing all sorts of ugly domestic violence against her.
This is not how UFC careers are supposed to go.
The details are pretty horrific, and they paint an awful picture of Aaron, who will soon have a warrant out for his arrest according to MMAFighting.
An arrest warrant is "forthcoming" for the husband of UFC fighter Andrea Lee, per the Shreveport (La.) Police Department.
Donny Aaron will be facing charges of false imprisonment and domestic violence battery stemming from an incident that occurred late night Aug. 4 into the morning hours of Aug. 5, according to an incident report obtained by MMA Fighting from the Shreveport PD. MyMMANews.com was the first to publish information from the report Tuesday.
Shreveport PD spokesperson Cpl. Angie Willhite told MMA Fighting on Wednesday that an arrest warrant is "forthcoming."
The police incident report states that officers responded to a domestic incident involving two people who have been legally married for approximately five years with one child together in the early morning hours of Aug. 5. Photographs were taken and detectives were notified, but no contact was made with the suspect. Lee sustained a minor injury in the alleged attack, per the report. The report indicates that there was a weapon used in the alleged battery.
Here's hoping Lee is able to get back into the cage soon and put all this crap behind her.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Moody's Investors Service downgraded EDS's eds debt rating to "Ba1" -- the highest "junk" rating -- from "Baa3," citing the "modest" pace of improvement from its business turnaround efforts and low levels of free cash flow relative to its debt level. "Although EDS is taking steps to implement a business turnaround, the pace of the company's progress is slow, and as a consequence, the level of free cash flow is not sufficient to support an investment grade rating," S&P said. Shares of the provider of information technology consulting and outsourcing services slumped 89 cents, or 5 percent, to $16.79. The outlook for the rating is "negative."

i'm sorry for the delay. time flies.
my brother was in town this weekend so i did much family stuff. plus it's my mom's birthday today and my grandparents are back in ottawa so there was lots going on. but let's backtrack a little.
wednesday night was the last car night at place d'orleans for the year. so we went and we walked around and saw all the oldies-but-goodies. then i went inside and shopped while jon talked car stuff for hours. i found a rubik's cube for my mom (did you know it's the most popular puzzle game EVER? and it's been around for 25 years - longer than i have) and some tank tops for me.
thursday was just a regular day.. at least i can't think of anything exciting. friday was fat tuesdays with the ball girls. it was a lot of fun. fat tuesdays is in the market and has three piano guys (they rotate, this night it was mostly one, but the second came on for a bit). we met at andi's first and i finally got to meet her old roommate meghan. meghan's a crazy bitch, in a good way. so we were out and lots of the girls came which was good to see. it was freezing cold so i had a few beer to elevate my body temperature. i love how slamming back two beers gets me so hammered. oh, cheap drunk. this night was also the night my brother got to town.
saturday was a run around and do errands kinda day. we got a new licence plate sticker and saw vik for a bit.. even got a short little cruise in his mini. then it was off to kanata. jon didn't stay long because HE WENT RACING!!! but i stayed and had chicken burgers and went out with my brother, his gf and some friends. we went to honest lawyer. i was dd so just sat back and laughed at them drinking shots and beer like it was their job. i got home close to 4am, reeking of beer and tired.
but jon went racing. that's a bigger story. he went, with some other mazda 3 boys, to the luskville dragway and for $20 you get to go in and you get to race. he raced and won some and lost more, but had a great time and it was all he could talk about all sunday. apparently the tires now need rotating and we need gas about a week earlier than usual, but it was all worth it. too bad he's itching for his new car though, more than before. and i still don't have a solid job. (this is turning into a long post.. keep reading!)
sunday was another errands day and then off to kanata for mom's birthday and scott's send-off. mom was so pleased with her rubik's cube. we got some nice pictures of everybody before everyone scattered.
okay, only another day to cover. yesterday was monday and usually mondays suck. well this one did too, really. except i drove to work - sshhhhh, don't tell my car insurance guy. i had a job interview in hull for an indeterminant position with environment canada. it was a learning process: i wanted to know what a government competition was all about so i wasn't too concerned that i answered all their questions poorly and have no hopes in hell of getting the position. do i really want a government job anyways? not so much. i want to go back to school. will you finance that?
i went to the gym last night and got the village (you get free 2-day rentals from goodlife). it was a good movie. more of a thinker than i thought it was. and now we're here. i'm sitting at work, waiting for a meeting and putting off the work i actually have to do, which is to make some name tags for a workshop later this week. ooh the fun.

Cozonac is a traditional Romanian sweet loaf. This is my family's special recipe, passed down from my grand-grandmother. This dessert is made for Christmas, Easter and other special occasions.
Usually the loaf is filled with walnuts, raisins, Turkish delight and cocoa. As I've made it specially for my husband, I skipped the raisins, as he doesn't like them.
Ingredients for 2 loafs:
– 600g plain white flour
– 400g strong wholemeal flour
– 2 eggs
– 500ml milk
– 100g sugar
– 25g yeast
– 25g cocoa
– 300g Turkish delight
– 80g almonds and cashew
– mixed peel
– Rum flavour
– Vanilla paste
The milk and eggs have to be at room temperature, so get them out of the fridge half an hour before you start making the dough. Also, I've used only 100g sugar, so the loaf is not very sweet. It's a personal preference, so don't be afraid to add more sugar. You can use only white flour, but I like the taste of the wholemeal.
I had to change the walnuts for almonds and cashew as I've realized too late I don't have any walnuts.
Mix the 2 types of flour together and make a well for the liquid ingredients. Dissolve the dried yeast in warm milk, leave it on the worktop. Beat the eggs until blended, then add the sugar and continue beating them for another minute.
Then add the milk, yeast and eggs to the flour, the mixed peel and vanilla. Mix them gently with a spoon, then remove a third of the mixture for the black dough. I add oil when I'm kneading, to be easier to keep my hands clean of dough.
Knead the white dough for a few minutes and leave it to rest on the floured worktop. Then add the cocoa and Rum flavour to the black dough and knead it. Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave it to prove for an hour.
The dough is ready when it's doubled in size.
Cut half of the white dough and flatten it on the floured worktop using only the hands. Do the same with half of the black dough and put it on top of the white one.
The Turkish delight is easier to cut into pieces if the knife is floured.
Scatter pieces of Turkish delight and nuts, leaving a small gap in the middle.
Then roll each piece. Be careful not to have Turkish delight getting thru the dough. It can burn in the oven and it will become bitter.
Make a plait with the 2 strands of dough.
Cover the dough with a tea towel and leave it to prove for another hour.
The dough doubled in size again.
Brush the loafs with a beaten egg wash and sprinkle some sugar on top. The loafs are ready for baking.
Preheat the oven at 180C/160C fan and bake it for 40-50 minutes.
I hope you've enjoyed this recipe.

By Richard S. Grayson | Published in History Today Volume: 60 Issue: 7
Before the First World War, Irish Unionists and Nationalists were poised to fight each other over the imposition of Home Rule by the British. Then, remarkably, they fought and died side by side, writes Richard S. Grayson.
In the summer of 1914 war threatened to engulf Ireland. Sure enough, it came in early August. But it was not the war that anybody had expected. For much of 1912-14 Ireland verged not on a Great War but on civil war.Yet remarkably, when Europe erupted into flames, Ireland's two rival paramilitary groups both marched to join the British army to fight against a common foe.
At the root of divisions in Belfast was the campaign for Home Rule, a form of devolution not independence. Home Rule consistently secured the support of the vast majority of Irish voters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, it was different in the north-east of Ireland (the greater part of the province of Ulster). There, unlike in the rest of the island, Protestants were in the majority. They feared that Home Rule would mean Rome Rule by a Catholic-dominated Dublin Parliament. They also had a fiercely British identity and believed that Home Rule would undermine the Union between Great Britain and Ireland.
While the House of Lords had powers to block any legislation from the Commons indefinitely, there was no question of Home Rule becoming law as the Conservatives (who opposed Home Rule) dominated the Lords. However, that changed with the 1911 Parliament Act which pared back the Lords' powers. Suddenly, it became clear that a combination of the votes of Liberal MPs and the Irish Parliamentary Party (the 'Nationalist' party led by John Redmond which represented most of Ireland) would inevitably lead to Home Rule.
When the Home Rule Bill of 1912 was introduced to Parliament, Unionists in Ulster resolved to resist in every way they could. Despite their staunch loyalty to the Crown, they believed that it was justified to resist Parliament, ultimately through force. The Unionist leader in Ireland, Edward Carson, led mass public opposition to Home Rule, primarily in Ulster. On 'Ulster Day', September 28th, 1912, 237,368 men and 234,046 women publicly declared their opposition by signing the Ulster Covenant, which declared that they would use 'all means which may be found necessary' to defeat Home Rule.
Many gave practical form to their opposition by joining a paramilitary organisation, the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), which was ready to seize control of strategic locations to support a provisional government and ultimately to fight the British military and police. By the end of February 1914 the UVF had recruited around 90,000 men, one third of them in Belfast. There are questions about the true strength of this force, but the UVF became threatening enough when in April 1914 it landed 20,000 rifles it had purchased in Hamburg. Meanwhile, many members were uniformed and units steadily acquired the trappings of a regular army such as regimental colours.
Irish nationalism did not stand idly by while the UVF was established. In November 1913, led by Eoin MacNeill, a professor at University College, Dublin, the Irish Volunteers (IV) were established as a counterbalance to the UVF. Across Ireland their support soon topped that of the UVF, with as many as 40,000 in Ulster. Overtly, the Irish Volunteers used conciliatory language, aided by the fact that, if Home Rule were passed, they would be upholding the will of the British Parliament.
By the summer of 1914, the Home Rule Bill had passed through the Commons and was about to become law. One day in June the rival volunteer groups drilled in West Belfast. Carson told the UVF: 'Now, men, that you have got your arms, no matter what happens, I rely upon every man to fight for those arms to the end.' Although Redmond had initially been alarmed by the radical potential of the Irish Volunteers, his party had steadily gained influence over them and the Nationalist MP for West Belfast, Joseph Devlin, attended their parade.
So, by the summer of 1914, there were two paramilitary forces in West Belfast, implacably opposed and ready to fight for or against the imposition of Home Rule by the London government. Within six months, many of the men were indeed fighting and losing their lives, but they were doing so in the same army and against a common enemy as the UK went to war against Germany. How on earth did these men lay down their arms and become allies?
There was one very practical reason in the early days of war. The British army was set up so that in the event of war it could rapidly expand through calling up members of the Army Reserve or Special Reserve. Reservists were either ex-soldiers or had undergone military training and agreed that in the event of war they would enlist. Overnight, regular battalions of the British army such as the 1st and 2nd Royal Irish Rifles could increase their numbers from a peacetime strength of around 500 to a wartime strength of 1,000. Many of the reservists in Belfast were men who had played an important role in the UVF or the IVs because they knew how to march and use firearms. When war broke out, they were called up to their battalions and could easily find themselves with men from the rival group of volunteers.
For those in the UVF there was another reason for joining up immediately. Although willing to resist Parliament, these men were passionately loyal to the British Crown. Alongside them could be Nationalist volunteers, who only wanted devolution and had no problem with membership of the British Empire. Right from the start of the war they were also inspired by the call to defend Catholic Belgium.
Following close behind individual decisions to enlist was formal political encouragement to do so. When war was declared Redmond offered the IVs to the British government for the defence of Ireland so that British troops could leave Ireland for the front, a move which Carson had already made in the days leading up to the war. Soon both men went further. Lord Kitchener was keen to secure the ready-made armies on each side for the war effort. Carson got a pledge from the War Office that, if enough men were recruited from the UVF, then they could be part of at least one Ulster Division of around 16,000 men. Recruiting for that began in early September 1914. The men of the West Belfast UVF formed the 9th Royal Irish Rifles, with men from other parts of the city forming their own battalions of the same regiment.
While UVF members were enlisting, there were significant developments in Nationalist ranks. The politics of the Ulster Division made it Unionist and Protestant. It was almost impossible to find Catholics in its ranks in the early days. So where could Catholic Nationalist volunteers go? In September 1914 Redmond announced that he wanted Irish soldiers kept together in an 'Irish Brigade', a phrase which was redolent of previous Irish service in war. This caused a split among the Volunteers but the vast majority were pro-Redmond and joined the renamed Irish National Volunteers (INV). Kitchener agreed not only to form the 16th (Irish) Division from men recruited in Ireland, but to clear space in a Brigade (47th Brigade was eventually agreed) to enable men from the INV to serve together.
Following this, Devlin became one of the most active recruiters for the British army in West Belfast, securing hundreds of recruits for both the 6th Connaught Rangers and the 7th Leinsters. Among them were men like brothers Robert and Michael Brennan, both staunch Nationalists.
By the end of 1914 the existence of two rival paramilitary groups had led to the formation of two divisions within the British army. These divisions spent much of late 1914 and 1915 training, arriving in France in late 1915. They soon found themselves in the Somme area, but were not initially fighting side by side. The 36th Division took part in the first two days of the Battle of the Somme in July 1916, losing around 5,500 total casualties, of whom around 2,000 were killed. The 16th Division joined the battle in September, when it served with distinction in the operations at Guillemont and Ginchy in the later, more successful phase of the Somme.
Side-by-side service by the two divisions came in June 1917 at Messines. Thousands of men from different sides of Ireland's divide served at Messines and the 36th and 16th divisions fought beside each other. The battle symbolises the two communities' shared sacrifice and today is commemorated by the Island of Ireland Peace Park near Messines Ridge, which was opened in 1998 by the British, Irish and Belgian heads of state.
Yet another story of side-by-side service has been relatively overlooked until recently. New research has opened up a wealth of formerly hidden stories. We now know of as many as 8,484 men from across West Belfast who served in 1914-18, of whom at least 1,990 were killed. The levels of service among Protestants and Catholics probably roughly matched their share of the population.
An important part of this new narrative is the story of service in battalions which were not recruited by political leaders. As a result of the calling up of reservists and early enlistment by men from across the divide there were battalions in which men from both the UVF and INV served together. In West Belfast, this was especially the case with the 2nd Royal Irish Rifles. One former INV member was Michael McGivern of Merrion Street in the Falls. Serving as a corporal, he was killed at Kemmel on December 17th, 1914. In the same battalion had been William Shearer, a sergeant, from Seventh Street in the Falls and a former UVF member. He was killed on September 25th, 1915, at Hooge.
Such unity and Nationalist enthusiasm for the British army did not survive the war. Although Home Rule had been imminent when war broke out, its implementation was suspended for the war's duration. That angered Nationalists who felt that they had been loyal to the British Empire by enlisting. After the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, Nationalist opinion steadily moved from the Irish Parliamentary Party to Sinn Fein.
Many Catholic Nationalist former British soldiers became radicalised. Robert Brennan, once a staunch Nationalist, became a Republican and headed a unit of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in West Belfast, as did other former British soldiers. On the other side, Protestant Unionist veterans joined the police and their own paramilitary groups.
As Northern Ireland plunged into the Troubles of the early 1920s and then again into turmoil in the late 1960s, any sense of a common history was lost. Nationalists and Republicans became ashamed of service in the British Army, while Unionists simply did not know how many Catholics had served. But, as politics changed from the mid-1990s, people began to rediscover this joint aspect of their past. This has not been easy for many, as Unionists have learned that they once shared much with Nationalists and Republicans have had to confront the uneasy truth that their forebears once served in the British army. Yet out of these difficult truths, a history that once divided people in Northern Ireland offers prospect of understanding how multi-layered and complex Belfast's history really is.

Everyone is struggling to hold back tears with Pentanonix's brand new version of "Hallelujah."
Guest post by Marsha Gillis @ Faith Tap
They most certainly have worked their a capella magic once again! "Hallelujah" was originally written by Leonard Cohen in 1984. Surprisingly it achieved little success initially until it was covered by Jeff Buckley. Since being made popular by him, the song has over 300 known covered versions from various singers and even featured in the film Shrek. And now Pentatonix brings their talent to cover it once again and they certainly do not disappoint!
Pentatonix themselves have achieved overwhelming musical success since forming in 2011. The won the third season of "The Sing Off" on NBC, that victory earned them $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony Music. To date they have over 11 million YouTube subscribers and more than 1.54 billion total views. They are currently the 13th most subscribed channel with the 44th most subscribed overall.
Pentatonix began with friends who grew up together in Texas that all have a passion for music. But what makes them so incredibly unique is that they perform with no instruments at all. They create all their sound a cappella and amaze listeners with not only their talented singing voices but also the background "music" that works together so beautifully to create mesmerizing harmonies. And the proof of their talent and success is shown with more than 2.8 million albums sold, not to mention their multiple Grammy awards and sold out venues wherever they perform. Just sit back and listen as they sing "Hallelujah."

India to grow at 7.7 per cent in 2018-19: IMF
WASHINGTON: India's growth is expected to rebound to 7.2 per cent in the 2017-18 fiscal and 7.7 per cent in 2018-19 after disruptions caused by demonetisation, the IMF said recenly, while recommending the removal of long-standing structural bottlenecks to enhance market efficiency.
The temporary disruptions (primarily to private consumption) caused by cash shortages accompanying the currency exchange initiative are expected to gradually dissipate in 2017 as cash shortages ease, the International Monetary Fund said in its regional economic outlook.
Such disruptions would also be offset by tailwinds from a favourable monsoon season and continued progress in resolving supply-side bottlenecks, the IMF said. The investment recovery is expected to remain modest and uneven across sectors as deleveraging takes place and industrial capacity utilisation picks up, it noted.
"In India, growth is projected to rebound to 7.2 per cent in FY 2017-18 and further to 7.7 per cent in FY 2018-19," the IMF said.
According to the report, growth in Asia is forecast to accelerate to 5.5 per cent in 2017 from 5.3 per cent in 2016. Growth in China and Japan is revised upward for 2017 compared to the October 2016 World Economic Outlook, owing mainly to continued policy support and strong recent data.

For sure, I adore girlbands, disco divas and Eurovision melodramas. Occasionally however, I do dip my fingers in my c.d collection (I know, retro!) and dig out my tuxedo-loving men who recall a time when only a few traveled by plane, Queen Elizabeth hadn't yet heard of Camilla and big bold melodies ruled supreme in the charts via mighty and smooth baritone voices. No samples, rappers or Fern Cotton, this was a golden era of music. This post is to raise a toast to the new acts who've brought back yesterday, spun it around and provided some albums in the past few years.
Hailing from Germany, Tom sounds ridiculously like Frank Sinatra. It is unbelievable. Rarely doing covers, Tom Gabel's albums constantly renew the field of swing, jazz and the big band genre. Moreover, they are packed with brilliantly arranged epics like Where Do You Start, You Took Your Love Away and Catch Me If You Can. Where Tom Gabel (sometimes written as Gaebel) leads, Michael Bublé will follow. Take Bublé's Haven't Met You Yet. Wonderfully cute, bespoke, retro and thoroughly contemporary, it's truly a lovely ditty if ever there was one. Then listen to Tom's Its A Good Life. The similarity is "intriguing". I don't want to slight Bublé in any way. He's fab. But Tom Gabel's already been there and done it. So, highly recommended for the glorious arrangements alone.

Whitney dating site
Users have no control over distance (with matches being served closest to farthest away.
That feature likely has to do with offering as many matches as possible while seeding the app to enough users for distance settings to make a difference.
But there is only one significant thing that separates Bumble from Tinder: On Bumble, girls hold all the power.
Boys are not allowed to send the first message on Bumble.
The idea to put the ball in the woman's court is an interesting but not unexpected twist for the app, given that Wolfe has positioned herself as the vulnerable woman who was accosted by unwanted messages from her male colleagues at Tinder.

Elizabeth felt the urge to peek over the brow of the hill, but she shook her head and turned back to her work. She wrung out one of her husband's shirts, letting the dirty water fall into the tub before she gave it one last twist and dropped it into a basket that rested beside her feet in the grass.
She was acting like a spoiled child at Christmas, trying to take a peek at her presents before it was time. She glanced at the top of the hill once more, the logic in her head outweighing the longing of her heart.
Her husband Eric had begged her to promise that she wouldn't go near the top of the hill. She had grinned at his excitement and promised. She smiled softly and touched her cheek with one of her wet hands, remembering the kiss he had given her in exchange for her promise.
She picked up the basket of wet laundry, groaning with the weight and settled it against her hip. Eric had hung a clothesline, conveniently placed right outside of their tent so she didn't have to walk for to do the laundry. A breeze ruffled the field grass and the plaintive moo reached her ear. The Lord had truly blessed them with this beautiful land. She couldn't have wished for a more pleasant, convenient and gorgeous piece of land to build their house and raise a family. She let the basket drop beside the clothesline and raised her hands to her swollen midsection where she rubbed softly the rounded outline of their child beneath her apron.
She didn't mind living in a tent while Eric built the house, but she was looking forward to having real walls and a pump in the kitchen, and maybe even indoor facilities. She sighed and closed her eyes, the idea of a bath in its own room sounded delightful. Just a few more weeks. Eric had said it would be ready in time for the baby, and if his cheery mood of late was any indication of the progress on the building, she would guess it was near completion.
When the light from the sun had turned a subtle pink and red, Eric's figure crested the top of the hill and Elizabeth smiled and shook her head from her vantage point in a rocker that sat on the wood, platform their tent rested on. Crazy man! After a long day of work, he somehow still found the energy to run down the hill and roll to a stop in the grass like a young child. She laughed as he got back to his feet and shook himself as if he were a dog.
"Come! I have something to show you!" He grasped her hands and pulled her out of the chair towards the top of the hill.
"Eric! What?!" puffing from the steady climb with the extra weight of another life around her middle, she stopped at the top.
"Look!" Eric dipped his head towards the sunset and Elizabeth looked down.
She gasped, holding her breath. This couldn't be real, could it? There, resting at the bottom of the hill was a beautiful red brick house.
"Oh Eric!" she breathed. "it's brick!"
He beamed at the shock and adoration he must have been able to see written in her face.
"I didn't know we could afford brick. . .
" she continued to stare at the beautiful house. Their home.
"I wanted it to be a surprise. I know how you've always dreamed of one day having a brick house like rich people. I figured one day could come sooner than you expected. Do you like it?"
"Eric, it's. . . It's beautiful."
He beamed even brighter if that were possible and wrapped an arm around her and placed the other on her bulging stomach. "I'm so glad. We finally have a home to call our own."
The End.
This story was based on and inspired by a little red brick farm house I passed while driving. It was small, and stood out from the open fields and looked slightly out of place, but at home at the same time. The rest of the houses round about it along that street were all old farmhouses with white siding, the usual. But this little red beauty stood proud and strong amidst the vast expanses of corn and hay. My brain wondered why brick for a farmhouse, and this story popped into my head. It was begging to be written, so I did. The picture above is not actually the farmhouse that I saw, but it is about the same size. The only thing different, is that in the one I saw, there were no trees around it.
What did you think of this story? I would love to know what you thought in the comments!

What makes people killers? What turns people from merely thinking about murder as a mental act of revenge to actually killing? And sometimes more than once? And what effect do such people have on those who seek to understand them? These are the questions posed by the new opera produced by Tête à Tête.
Carole Hayman, author of Ladies of Letters and Harvey Brough, of Harvey and the Wallbangers, have collaborated on The Hive, a new opera inspired by Hayman's research into the addictions and compulsions that propel humans to the darkest depths of psychopathic behaviour. It explores our feelings about the psychopathic killers in our midst, and the professionals who seek them out.
Directed by Tête à Tête Artistic Director Bill Bankes-Jones, The Hive by Carole Hayman and Harvey Brough opens at the Arcola Theatre, London on August 26 for two performances as part of the Grimeborn Festival.

In the first decade of his tenure as Chancellor of UNC Charlotte, Chancellor Dubois has been very deliberate and strategic in leading the University in the development of several key initiatives. The following list, while far from comprehensive, provides a glimpse into the broad and varied priorities that have risen to the level of a Chancellor-led university initiative. Each is carefully designed to enhance a particular aspect of the Forty-Niner experience for our students, faculty, staff, and community.
- Campus Safety and Security
- Football
- University Professional Internship Program (UPIP)
- 49er Finish
- Data Science Initiative
- Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC)
- Charlotte Light Rail
- Campus Congestion Task Force
Campus Safety and Security
The safety and security of our campus and the faculty, staff, and students who live and work here, is of paramount importance. Considerable resources have been committed and deployed to ensure that our campus is as safe as possible. In 2008, Chancellor Dubois commissioned a Campus Safety and Security Committee and charged the group with implementation of a comprehensive plan to address the physical safety and security of UNC Charlotte's main campus. This Committee monitors the plan's progress, advises university leadership concerning safety issues and concerns, and makes additional recommendations to address those concerns in order to ensure a secure environment for all members of the university community.
The decision to implement a football program at UNC Charlotte was not entered into lightly. A feasibility committee comprised of community leaders and chaired by Mac Everett issued a report encouraging the University to proceed with adding football. After careful study and financial analysis, Chancellor Dubois recommended that the University proceed. In September of 2008, a decision was made by the Board of Trustees to apply for entry into the Football Championship Subdivision of the NCAA, with the goal of playing our first full season of football competition in the fall of 2013. Fast forward to the present day, and we couldn't be more proud of how the process has unfolded. In the fall of 2015, we began our third season of competition--and our first in the Football Bowl Subdivision as a member of Conference USA--with a tremendous team, a top-notch coaching staff, and a state-of-the-university, zero-waste stadium that would make any university GREEN with envy.
University Professional Internship Program (UPIP)
As evidence of UNC Charlotte's focus on engaged and applied learning, the UPIP program provides our students with a unique internship opportunity tailored to their specific majors and career interests. UPIP interns receive valuable mentoring from university faculty and administrators, and they have the opportunity to gain essential knowledge and experience while also contributing in a meaningful way to the inner workings of the university.
49er Finish
49er Finish is a program that is near and dear to the Chancellor's heart. Several years ago, university officials became aware of a large number of students who, for one reason or another, left UNC Charlotte in good academic standing without completing their undergraduate degrees, even though they were more than 75% through. In 2005, the 49er Finish program was created within the Office of Adult Students & Evening Services (OASES) to reach out to these students and make it possible and convenient for them to come back and finish their degrees. At last count, 679 students have returned and completed their degrees through 49er Finish! The program was recognized by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in 2013 as an "important innovation in public higher education."
Data Science Initiative
When the Board of Governors of the UNC System issued a call to university campuses for "game-changing research" in areas of strategic importance to the state, UNC Charlotte was ready to respond. Our Data Science Initiative was one of six "game-changing" proposals to be funded. The workforce challenges of today and tomorrow demand collaborations and partnerships centered around "big data." As a hub for economic activity in banking, energy, retail, and healthcare, Charlotte provides the perfect backdrop for big data research, not to mention countless partnership opportunities with local industry leaders who recognize the value and potential of our Data Science Initiative.
Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC)
The Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC) at UNC Charlotte was conceived in response to an energy industry "boom" in Charlotte in recent years. Through collaborative partnerships with industry leaders such as Duke Energy, Siemens, AREVA, Westinghouse, EPRI, and others, UNC Charlotte is making great strides in addressing the energy industry's imminent workforce crisis and in performing critical fundamental and applied research to improve security and continuity of energy. The facility and the program are remarkable and a source of great pride for the University and for Charlotte.
Light Rail
With the exponential growth we've experienced both on our main campus and in our Center City location, one of the most important long-term initiatives undertaken by the Chancellor is the extension of the light rail system in Charlotte. In 2017, light rail will finally arrive to connect the main campus to Center City, providing convenient and much-needed access for our students, faculty and staff members. Additionally, light rail will make it much easier for people to make the trek from uptown to take in cultural or athletic events on campus, including home appearances by the Forty-Niners football team. Shortly after the Chancellor joined UNC Charlotte, he was approached by then Mayor of Charlotte, now Governor of North Carolina, Pat McCrory, who wanted the University's support in the City's quest to add a light rail extension to the University. Immediately recognizing the positive transformative effect this would have for both the main and Center City campuses, Chancellor Dubois committed University land and resources to allow light rail to come onto campus and have a terminal stop behind the University's Student Union. We can't wait to hop aboard!
Campus Congestion Task Force
In 2016, Chancellor Dubois appointed Professor Richard Buttimer, who was then serving as Associate Dean of the Belk College of Business, to lead a task force that would review the causes of campus congestion and submit recommendations for consideration. The task force's thirty-four wide-ranging recommendations of the task force included possible changes in UNC Charlotte's physical infrastructure and parking system, enhancement of alternative modes of transportation, and changes to campus operations. Some of the recommendations have already been completed; others are in progress. To see the full report, click here. To see the status of the task force's recommendations, click here.

Undocumented immigrants in Arizona and other states who entered the United States as children may be interested in knowing more about a pending presidential decision regarding the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. President Trump, who must announce his decision before Sept. 5, is considering ending the policy, according to multiple news sources. However, one senior administration official cautions that the president could change his mind.
Future of DACA remains uncertain under Trump administration
H-1B program helpful to the U.S.
Arizona residents may be interested to know that the H-1B visa has provided economic benefits for both India and the United States. This was the finding of a study conducted by both the University of Michigan and the Center for Global Development. Although researchers noted that the visa could have negative results for some, American workers earned an additional $431 million in 2010 because of the program.
