Becka, I was walking with Thomas the other day, wondering how in the world six more pounds of baby and more blood and more life would ever fit in this belly of mine, knowing there's nowhere to go but out, already feeling to cramped and crowded in my own skin, and I remembered you writing the same thing while pregnant with E.
Funny how the second makes you feel so much more full than the first.
Old wives tales are all saying "girl, girl, girl." My son tells me it's a girl. My friends. My mother-in-law. They point out my moods. They tactfully do not mention the way my hips and rear end have transformed, the fact that I don't seem to be nearly as "glowing" this time around. The heart rate is quick (more girl signs).
Heart burn. Chocolate cravings. A little body that thumps and shifts so much. I remember Thomas stretching, but slowly, and not so frequently. A fighter. A fierce one. Mina. A quick baby name meaning search gives me this:
'Means "love" in German.
In Persian it means "blue jewel/gem."
In Japanese it means south.
Means "fish" in Sanskrit. This is the name of the daughter of the Hindu goddess Usha as well as the daughter of the god Kubera.
Its English meaning is "Strong willed warrior"'
My lovely blue gem. My warrior from the south.
My mermaid. A selkie? A naiad? A berehynia? A siren? An ondine? All of these tricksy watery spirits.
But Aries is a sun sign.
Little one, who are you?
I will be 28 years old in six days. Another birthday. Another year. Reaching toward 30. Babies trailing behind me.

I have ordered Ann Coulter's book, "Adios America" and will read and review when it comes. But without having read the book, I already believe she's right.
Liberals keep telling us that diversity is a strength, and that we should accelerate the Mesoamericanization of the US, and celebrate when Mesoamericans become the majority. I say "Mesoamerican" because "Hispanic" is a rubbish term that means nothing.
What I'm talking about is Mesoamericans, which is Central American natives. Whenever I say "Central America" I include Mexico. I don't care that liberals want to reclassify Mexico as part of North America in order to lay the philosophical groundwork for their foolish "North American Union." The fact is it's not. Mexico is part of that strip of land between North America and South America. Mexicans have more in common culturally and genetically with Guatemalans and Hondurans than they do with us, which is another reason why they should be lumped in with those people.
But as I was saying, the left wants us to celebrate the Mesoamericanization of the US, and help it happen faster.
I say enough is enough. Some of these people are alright, and some of them assimilate, but most of them don't. Keeping the border open is a huge security risk, and most of the people who come here from there are a drain on our economy and an overall bad influence.
Why do people think that stepping across a border will magically change who and what a person is, or the way they think? This does not happen, especially when they come illegally. They continue on with their usual behaviors, as they always have, and when they become the majority, guess how the country will be? It will be like the place they came from.
Meagan Grunwald, 18, was convicted in May of aggravated murder and other charges from the January 2014 shooting, carjacking and chase.
The teenager was a willing accomplice of her older boyfriend who was killed in a shootout with officers, prosecutors said during her trial.
But Grunwald tearfully told jurors that 27-year-old Jose Angel Garcia-Jauregui forced her at gunpoint to drive through three snowy Utah counties and threatened her family.

What a charming influence he is, and what a stupid girl for dating such a person. If this guy had never been allowed in the country, this incident would not have happened.
Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, who has been deported to his native Mexico five times and is suspected of living in the United States illegally, told television news stations he found the gun on the pier and it accidentally fired. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday to murder charges in Kathryn Steinle's death.
Steinle, 32, was gunned down last week while strolling with her father along San Francisco's popular waterfront area.
Federal officials transferred Sanchez to San Francisco's jail in March to face a 20-year-old marijuana charge after he completed his latest prison term for entering the country illegally.
The San Francisco sheriff, citing the city's "sanctuary city" policy, released Sanchez in April after prosecutors dropped the drug charge, despite an Immigration and Customs Enforcement request to hold him for federal authorities so deportation proceedings could begin.
Source: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/land-agency-agents-stolen-service-gun-used-in-pier-slaying/ar-AAcGD5k?ocid=DELLDHP
They can try to blame the gun, but if this guy had not been allowed in the country then this incident would not have happened either. The fact is he killed this woman because he's a casual killer, and in Mexico he could get away with such behavior without being caught. Casual killing is normal there, as are gratuitously violent murders and body mutilation. Mexico is his home, and he belongs there, not here.
In the future we will be hearing about more murders, rapes, robberies, and assaults by people with names like this, and who look the way this man does. I know, people will say this is horribly racist, but facts are not racist, they are just reality. What's stupid is to ignore reality because it offends someone's sensibilities. Keep ignoring, and the problem gets worse.
It would be one thing if we had a wall protecting us, and the only immigrants who came from Mesoamerica were engineers, doctors, and computer programmers. Such people would be welcome. But letting in unlimited numbers of thugs and hoods from cultures which are known for being mostly thug and hood is suicide. And just where are we supposed to go to get away from the masses of violent thug and hood peasants?
Donald Trump is Right.

Ohana is a juvenile male. He was born at Ecoparque el Fenix two years ago. Son to Zulu, Ohana is the only male within our free ranging monkey group.
Ohana is extremely cheeky and clever. As a free ranging monkey, Ohana was raised with free access to trees and has become an excellent climber. His favourite game is to grapple with other young monkeys through the enclosure walls, but this often leaves him frustrated as he can not play properly through wire mesh. When Ohana gets frustrated trying to play he performs abnormal behaviours. With plans to build a new social enclosure in 2014, we hope to introduce Ohana to his friends permanently, increasing his social skills and stopping his frustration induced abnormal behaviours.
If you would like to help fund construction of the new social enclosure please visit our 'How to help' page for more information or pledge a donation on-line: http://www.gofundme.com/53l8xk

Auction Wrap Up – 4 July 2016
"A quiet weekend with similar clearance rates for Melbourne and Sydney."
The nation recorded a 69.9 per cent clearance on the weekend with 495 properties listed to go under the hammer. Last weekend is likely to be the July's slowest, with listing numbers expected to recover over the next two Saturdays. The month's listing numbers, however, are currently 31 per cent below July 2015, even with a fifth Saturday against last year's four.
The weekend election shrunk the Melbourne auction scene, with only 206 properties listed for auction. The city's clearance rate closed at 73.5 per cent which, even after revision, is likely to settle higher than the past ten weekends.
Listing numbers are set to exceed 500 next weekend in what is expected to be July's busiest weekend. This figure, however, looks less impressive compared to 2015, as this year's busiest July weekend has the same number of listings as last year's slowest.
Sydney had 200 listed auctions on the weekend, compared to 633 on the previous weekend. The low supply helped buoy clearance rates, closing at 73.5 per cent. Both the clearance rate and listing numbers fell sharply from June 2015 when the city cleared 81.5 per cent of 557 listed properties.
July looks to be slower than the previous two years, but busier than 2012 and 2013. House and unit prices, however, have so far held firm. It remains to be confirmed whether a slowing auction market will signal softer property prices.

Bold and delightful in equal measure, this young Czech ensemble offers a generous and unusual follow-up to its 2009 set of the Martinu trios. Foerster's Trio no 2 from 1919 makes a perfect opener, never outstaying its welcome, and Fibich's Trio from almost 50 years earlier is over much too soon. If Novak's Trio no 2 does not match his extraordinary Second Quartet for impact and inspiration, it is good to have such a committed performance.

A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
Dirty Water?
Ever seen the movie 'Signs'? That movie is one of the reasons why I could never use a baby monitor. However, it appears that that wouldn't really matter at our house. Apparently, when we say, 'Please take your dishes to the table," that doesn't include cups. And then, when you come back for the next meal, you have to get a new cup. By the end of the day, we've got around 20+ cups on the table, the cupboard is empty, and the kids think they're thirsty and wonder why there aren't any cups left. As you can see, there are quite a few cups on this table--but not THAT many. I would like to draw your attention, though, to the fact that all the cups on the right side of the table are Claire's. Just thought I'd throw that out there. I leave them on the table, though. Since I don't have a baby monitor, you never know when the aliens will come. We are prepared with all the water we need to overcome them. I wonder if I should invest in a baseball bat, too?

How I solved the cup dilemma....I bought cups of different colors for each child. Then I knew who had left the cup out and they were responsible for their cup each day and only drank out of that one. I kept plastic cups(the disposable kind) and wrote on them with a Sharpie for frequent visitors and washed those and kept them in the cupboard.

I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

5 February 2007
NEWSLETTER No 22 5 February 2007
There will be a general meeting of The Forum at 5.30 for 6 pm on Thursday 22 February in The Athenaeum (top floor). The main business will be to hold an exchange of information about what we know and what we are doing about the site of Liverpool castle and the seven original streets. You are invited to attend.
Urban Picnic held a walk and discussion around the site of Liverpool Castle on 24 January. Plans of the site of the castle and the seven original streets were shown. A scale model of Harlech Castle was superimposed on one of the plans displayed, showing it to be of the same size at ground level as Liverpool castle is believed to have been. Liverpool Castle was built before any of the Welsh Castles built by English kings. Was it whitewashed as Harlech was? Imagine a structure of that size where the Queen Victoria memorial now stands! Of course, while the site is fairly definitely known, what existed above ground is a matter of conjecture.
Liverpool Culture Company plans a programme of "live" interpretation of medieval Liverpool in Derby Square, for example on 28 August 2007, the actual anniversary of the founding of the borough by King John. It also intends to produce a leaflet on medieval Liverpool. Redevelopment of Derby Square will take place in 2009, when the footprint of the Castle will be picked out in a different colour of brick. (Welcome news but would not joined-up government have brought this forward to 2007 or at least 2008?) A new interpretative panel may be erected at this time. But there will be a new "Connecting Liverpool" panel in Castle Street dedicated to the Castle and the seven streets. The Maritime Museum will display its model of the Castle from July 2007 into early 2008. The Council is not (yet) persuaded to put up interpretative signs in each of the seven streets, on grounds of cost and to avoid further clutter. This seems likes discrimination against English history because there are lions of the pavement at the entrance to China Town and the streets signs there have the names in Chinese as well as English. Why can't we have this for English history too?
In the City of London the authorities put up information panels about matters which are of interest to historians but hardly of much importance to the general public. One commemorates the site of where Loriners (makers of the metal parts of horse harnesses plied their trade) and another where the first postmarks for mail were issued in 1661. If the City of London thinks it useful to put up plaques like this why don't we have more of them in Liverpool? The fact that there are no buildings to see does not invalidate the point.
■ National Museums Liverpool has commissioned Ben Johnson to create a highly detailed cityscape of Liverpool. Work-in-progress images can be seen here with more details on the NML website.
■ The 16 Jan was the 5oth anniversary of the Cavern Club first opening its doors.
■ Docks bosses are planning to salvage the former Mersey ferries terminal at the Pier Head, which sank last March, plus a replacement terminal and ticket offices. Plans for a £19m cruise liner terminal at Princes landing stage, in time for 2008 Capital of Culture events, are well advanced.
■ In the current timetable, Mersey ferries no longer call at Woodside during the morning commuter period. For the rest of the day, the Woodside call is maintained, both for the evening commuter period and for the cruise trips in the middle of the day. It is hoped that the withdrawal of morning calls at Woodside does not herald a wider reduction of services. A view of the (much-altered) Liverpool skyline from the river is surely one of the most important parts of a tourist visit to Merseyside. If only the authorities in Wirral could see it, a "packaging" of a trip on the ferry and visits to Birkenhead Priory, Hamilton Square, the revived tram service and the Wirral Museum (in the old Birkenhead Town Hall) - which would be a much better place to display the interesting material now in the hard-to-find Williamson museum. Does Wirral have plans to benefit from Liverpool's new tourism status?
■Paul and Anna Dunkerley (email@example.com. have published a pamphlet of Liverpool "firsts".
■ The Scottie Press website (http://www.scottiepress.org/projects) has opened a webpage given over to the Friends of Anfield Cemetery. Also, it is seeking to site a slate plaque commemorating the history of the Welsh who settled in the Vauxhall area of Liverpool (an area evidently known as "over the bridge").
■ There are reports that Beatle drummer Ringo Starr's birthplace in Toxteth is to be knocked down as part of the government's plans to destroy housing in the north and build over more parts of the south-east into which northerners are supposedly to move. The Victorian terrace in Madryn Street is one of 460 in the area set to be demolished. Ringo Starr lived at the house for about three months before moving to Admiral Grove. A campaign to save his birthplace failed after the City Council said it had "no historical significance". However, there is a plan to rebuild it brick by brick at the new £65m Museum of Liverpool on the city's waterfront to be opened in 2010. National Museums Liverpool said it would be a "hugely popular" feature. Negotiations and planning are under way.
■ Sefton Park Palm House opened in 1896, a gift from Liverpool-born merchant/philanthropist Henry Yates Thompson. In the German blitz of May of 1941, a bomb fell nearby and shattered every pane of glass in the structure. Later battered by winter storms and a frequent target for vandals, by the mid 1980s its spiral of decline had been mirrored by Liverpool's own darkest days. A successful "sponsor a pane" campaign was followed by £3.5m funding for its restoration provided by the combined input of the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, European Regional Development Fund, the city council and the Palm House Trust. The work was completed and the Palm House reopened in September 2001.
■ We are aware that parts of the local media are interested in activities organised by individuals and voluntary bodies (i.e. other than the public sector) to celebrate 2007. Media outlets need good forewarning of events and need information in a style which would interest the general reader or listener, not dry as dust. The Forum will give such publish such information and societies' contact details if it receives this information.
■ The Williamson Gallery in Birkenhead has a permanent display of Della Robbia pottery. This was made at premises in Price Street Birkenhead. The firm, which was in business from 1894 to 1906 and was funded by Harold Steward Rathbone, of the Liverpool banking family, had a shop at 7 Berry Street Liverpool. Rathbone was in contact with the Arts & Crafts and pre-Raphaelite figures such as William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Ford Madox-Brown so his work compliments works on display at the Lady Lever and the Walker. He exhibited at the autumn exhibitions associated with the Liverpool Academy. The style of the pottery was inspired by the work of Luco di Simone Robbia, a sculptor in Florence who lived from 1400 to 1482. The Williamson has Liverpool pottery as well.
■ BBC Radio 4's "Land lines" programme featured Liverpool on 5 February. Reference was made to Liverpool Football Club's "Kop" stand, name after the Boer War battle in 1900, to the figure of 9 million emigrants who left Liverpool for the New World between 1830 and 1930 and to the mast of the SS Great Eastern stands at the Kop end of Anfield stadium. (The was largest ship built up to the date of its launch in 1858 in London, and was said to be capable of carrying 4,000 passengers around the world without refuelling. It was finally used for laying cables from Ireland to America and was broken up in 1889.
■ A firm in Sweeting Street (off Castle Street) is asking about the Quill Club, which once occupied their building. Has anyone any information about this?
■ The model of Lutyens' Roman Catholic Cathedral that was never built is now on display at the Walker. (The Anglican cathedral has a smaller model of an earlier design for this building.
■ The Echo is supporting an appeal for donations for a 14 foot high statue of Archbishop Derek Worlock and Bishop David Sheppard to be erected in Hope Street this year. The partnership between the two men is a major feature of the City's more recent history.
■ Six postage stamps featuring the Beatles were issued on 9 January 2007.
■ A campaign is under way to keep "the greatest collection of football memorabilia in the world" (Everton's) in the City. Championship medals and even the tender to build Anfield - home to Everton before Liverpool FC was formed. More than £350,000 has been raised, thanks to donations from Everton FC and Lord Grantchester, a member of the Moores family. A Heritage Lottery Fund bid for £750,000, supported by Liverpool Record Office, will make up the remainder as well as help fund the the cataloguing it. Even people from the red half of the city will surely support this project.

Submitted Abstract
Entrepreneurship is among the guiding principles of the University of Luxembourg (UL). UL aims to provide encourage and promote entrepreneurship training (as an essential transversal skill) and practices across all facets of its research, education, training and innovation activities. In preparation for launch of a pan-UL entrepreneurship training and support program (from 2018-2021), the UL Rectorate would like to initiate pilot programs to understand the needs across UL for supporting the wide range of entrepreneurial ideas and activities currently spread across various departments (see figure below). Without proper support and guidance and due to a distinct lack of a streamlined support system for UL entrepreneurs (staff, students and alumni), entrepreneurship is far from becoming mainstream at UL. The current KITS proposal of the UL Venture Mentoring Service (UL VMS) aims to remediate the situation by leveraging on the knowledge acquired at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by a small UL team, on how to build a start-up mentoring service, and by partnering with a local entrepreneurship initiative – nyuko, experts in this domain. Under the license of the MIT (www.vms.mit.edu) and as an affiliate sister program, the UL will launch a "Venture Mentoring Service" targeted at providing guidance and support to UL ventures initiated by UL staff, students and alumni. Whilst a mentoring program already exists in Luxembourg, it is only meant to support small medium enterprises and start-ups which are already incorporated, with sales, growth and customers acquisition matters, and not targeting at all technologies and ideas at the UL (nyuko's and chamber of commerce business mentoring; www.businessmentoring.lu). University ventures are widely recognised to be the most promising ones, but it is also known that they require much more investment in terms of coaching of students and researchers. After extensive gap analysis and thorough evaluation of state-of-the-art mentoring and support programs, we have concluded that the MIT's venture mentoring program offers the right platform for smooth transfer of UL scientific knowledge and ideas into societal and commercial use, to provide real innovation to the market, and to actively drive the entrepreneurial landscape in Luxembourg. The methodology of the MIT venture mentoring service would be the best suited to the Luxembourg ecosystem because it is unique structured to account for many different aspects and challenges UL faces currently, from soft skills development, to technical matters which cannot be provided by one single person.

Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers Association (HKJMA) started hosting jewelry exhibitions since 1992. Working in the creative agency in Hong Kong, work with the photographer, visualiser to create the campaign for their international jewelry manfacturers exhibition back in 2005.
The 13th annual HKJMA campaign's main theme was "Women always want more.". After some idea and brainstorming, we have come up a few options and finally the visual of an elegant woman carrying different types of jewelry in several of her hands was developed to embody this key message. Creative from concept development, model casting, on site photo shoot, art directing and graphic design.
The draft ideas - photoshoped layout and also hand drawing to bring concepts to vision.
Finally we have picked the "elegant woman with a lot of jewelry" image direction. After casting a few models, we have found our cover girl and the below was the shooting day in studio.
The extra hands with Jewelry, was of course photoshopped back in after the main photoshoot. Here is the final Key visual.

As Texas prepares to play in the Texas Bowl against former Big 12 foe Missouri, it remains unknown whether or not linebacker Malik Jefferson will play.
Jefferson was reportedly diagnosed with a case of turf toe recently and is said to be considered day-to-day. Nick Moyle of the San Antonio Express-News reported the medical update via Twitter, and he also notes Jefferson still has not made a definitive decision on whether to leave for the NFL or not.
Jefferson would be considered a solid draft pick option at linebacker in the event he decides to leave Texas a year early to pursue a chance to play in the NFL. How this injury might impact that decision is nothing but speculation. However, players deciding to take to the NFL Draft the following spring have increasingly made the trendy decision to forgo their senior season and skip the bowl game when injuries play a factor. If Jefferson is to go to the NFL, it would not be a stunner to see him decide to skip out on the bowl game as well.
Jefferson is Texas' leader in tackles this season with 110, including 79 solo tackles.

Make it count….
Our lives are really full. There is a powerful pre occupation with "doing" that keeps us really busy. We step out into this world from the cocoon of our parents and launch ourselves onto the treadmill of life. As life gains momentum we zing past events and quickly move onto something new and what was recently experienced becomes a memory, stacked onto other memories that fade into the backdrop of our thinking.
When does life take on more meaning? Is it when the children are born, or when the grandparents pass away? For most of us it takes a jolt, an intervention from the side to shift us away from doing to being. Don't get me wrong, doing is great, for practical purposes, but for most of us we just keep doing because that is all there seems to be. Doing on a gross level is striving, goal setting, achieving, attaining, justifying, winning, losing etc. Doing on a subtle level is far more powerful as it is the driver of your physical doing. It is how you think and how you mould your life from past experiences and habitual patterns.
Being releases you from the need to win, achieve or attain. You can still play the game but you become detached from the outcome. This then gives a space for you to become more engaged in the process, giving each step the exact amount of effort required to complete the task in the most positive way. So often, striving for the end result takes us away from the enjoyment of the process. In life we say things like; I will be happy when I earn more, I will be free when the kids leave home, or when the exams are out of the way I will be more relaxed. This is so true, and it is the conditioning of a mind, doing it's own thing that will quickly replace this moment, with the promise of a better moment. This is one of the ego's biggest lies. In truth, there is this moment, complete and pure, then the next moment, complete and pure, and so on.
There is a great movie with Adam Sandler in call "Click". He is given a clicker (Like a TV changer) that can fast forward situations in life. It literally moves you past the uncomfortable times to so called times that promise happiness. But the clicker becomes conditioned to fast forward by itself (like the mind) and before you know it he is at the end of his life and realizes sadly that he missed out on so much.
Being means "letting go." But I can hear you ask, If I let go, who will I be? Well you will be exactly the same as you were but with a softer, lighter touch to life. When you let go, your attitudes, ideas and beliefs are still there, but there is more room to observe your reactions to them. You become supple to your approach to life and not rigid and stuck in your ways.
Slow down and make each moment in your life count. Make the most of each situation by choosing to "be". Take a moment to indulge this fully. Let go of all that is going on, just for a little while. Sit and fully engage with what you are doing. When you lose yourself in "being" you are truly present and giving full attention to what is required in front of you. Oh and don't worry all your "stuff" will still be there, but by practicing this regularly you slowly give power to your ability to enjoy life's wonderful process as a journey and not a destination.

Good to see you writing again..I like this post.
Yes. Thank you for this Andy Sensei. I wonder when we forgot to just be? We all come from the same place. We all head to the same destination… We may not take our toys. We arrive alone and must leave alone. Thank heavens we share the journey together. I don't understand much but am Thankful for my fellow traveler's along the way, who ease the journey. They are kind. Give Love and forgive. In turn I offer the same as best i can. Animals have no choice. Humans must choose to remember, for we are both blessed and cursed by choice.

Hi. I'm new to this forum and have only been to Africa twice, but, being a mathematician and engineer, I tend to study and accumulate as much data as possible. The information on the threads here and on other sites has been extremely helpful. This information, coupled with almost 60 years of hunting elk, moose, deer and caribou throughout the US and Canada has led me to make two important decisions which will come to fruition next year. I have been blessed to have a great friend in Newfoundland who owns/operates the 4+ Star rated Tuckamore Lodge in Main Brook, Newfoundland, Canada. I have hunted there almost annually since 1986 with friends, my children and most recently my grandson, for moose, woodland Caribou and bear. I have taken over 20 moose, several really nice caribou and a few bears. 46 years ago, I purchased a .300 Weatherby Mag for an elk hunt in Wyoming While that firearm was an excellent rifle for that and subsequent elk and moose hunts, I became intrigued with Blaser Rifles. Since I had untold .300 WBY ammo laying around, I purchased a Professional R8 with a synthetic stock in ,300Wby topped with a Zeiss IC scope and a second barrel in .22-250 topped with the Zeiss scope that came with the Professional Package. The first trip to SA saw a nice Kudu and a Gemsbuck fall to the .300 and a Springbuck, Blesbuck and Impala fall to the .22-250. Last year I shot a Springbuck Grand Slam which in the East Cape is a regular, Kalahari, Black, White and Copper Springbuck. I used a Browning Model 78 with an octagonal barrel in 25.06 since I love that rifle buy had not used it much in the last 30+- years. I put a new Leupold VX5HD scope on the rifle with a CDS dial and obtained wonderful results. This year I will take a Waterbuck, a Blue Wildebeest and a Nyaka, once again using my Blaser in .300 Wby. 2020 will be the year of my Cape Buffalo and I am have purchased a Blaser Big Bore stock with a Safari barrel channel, a steel receiver (adds 1.25#) and a 1 lb. Kickstop recoil reducer in the butt stock. The Kickstop not only reduces recoil but adds weight to balance the safari barrel. It will be topped with a Leupold VX5HD 1-4 x 24 firedot scope with a CDS dial for longer shots. I can actually purchase the parts on line cheaper than the whole rifle and can use the bolt housing and magazine insert from my .300 Wby and possibly the bold head as well, saving money. NOW, THE $64,000 QUESTION!!! What caliber barrel?????

A written record of the results are called an education record, which are directly related to your child and are maintained by the school district. These records are personally identifiable to your child. Personally identifiable information includes the child's name, the name of the child's parents or other family member, the address of the child or their family, a personal identifier such as social security number, a list of characteristics that would make the child's identity easily traceable or other information that would make the child's identity easily traceable.
The school district will gather information regarding your child's physical, mental, emotional and health functioning through testing and assessment, observation of your child, as well as through review of any records made available to the school district through your physician and other providers of services such as day care agencies.
The school district protects the confidentiality of personally identifiable information by one school official being responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of the records; training being provided to all persons using the information and; maintaining for public inspection a current list of employees names and positions who may have access to the information.
The school district will inform you when this information is no longer needed to provide educational services to your child and will destroy the information at the request of the parent, except general information such as your child's name, address, phone number, grades, attendance record and classes attended, grade level completed, may be maintained without time limitation.
As the parent of the child you have a number of rights regarding the confidentiality of your child's records. The right to inspect and review any education records related to your child at are collected, maintained, or used by the school district. The school district will comply with a request for you to review the records without unnecessary delay and before any meeting regarding planning for your child's special education program (called an IEP meeting), before a hearing should you and your school district disagree about how to educate your child who needs special education, and in no case, take more than 45 days to furnish you the opportunity to inspect and review your child's records.
You have the right to an explanation and interpretations of the records; to be provided copies of the records if failure to provide the copies would effectively prevent you from exercising your right to inspect and review the records and; the right to have a representative inspect and review the records.
Upon your request, the school district will provide you a list of the types and location of education records collected, maintained, or used by the agency. [Editor note: if a district will charge a fee, then the following two sentences are necessary; if the district will not charge any fees, then this sentence is unnecessary] Additionally, the school district will charge a fee for copies of records made in response to your request for copies except it will not charge a fee if doing so will prevent you from inspecting and reviewing your child's records. The district will not charge a fee to search or retrieve information.
You have the right to request the amendment of your child's education records that you believe are inaccurate or misleading, or violates the privacy or other rights of your child. The school district will decide whether to amend the records within a reasonable time of receipt of your request. If the school district refuses to amend the records you will be notified of the refusal and your right to a hearing. You will be given at that time, additional information regarding the hearing procedures and; upon request, the district will provide you a records hearing to challenge information in your child's education files.
Parent consent is required before personally identifiable information contained in your child's education records is disclosed to anyone other than officials of the school district collecting or using the information for purposes of identification of your child, locating your child and evaluating your child or for any other purpose of making available a free appropriate public education to your child. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Additionally, the school district, upon request, discloses records without consent to officials of another school district in which your child seeks or intends to enroll.
When a child reaches age 18, the rights of the parent with regard to confidentiality of personally identifiable information is transferred to the student. A parent may file a written complaint alleging that the rights described in this notice were not provided:
Pennsylvania Department of Education
Bureau of Special Education
Division of Compliance
333 Market Street
Harrisburg, PA 17126-0333
The Department of Education will investigate the matter, issue a report of findings and necessary corrective action within 60 days. The Department will take necessary action to ensure compliance is achieved.
Complaints alleging failures of the school district with regard to confidentiality of personally identifiable information may also be filed with:
Family Policy Compliance Office

When John Musker and Ron Clements told Disney Animation chief John Lasseter that they were interested in creating a new story based on the Polynesian demi-god Maui, Lasseter had one response: "Go research."
Clements and Musker have an even longer history at Disney than Lasseter does; as the writer-director team behind The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, they essentially invented the modern Disney animated musical. But Lasseter was clear: the project would not go any further until Musker and Clements actually went to Polynesia, marking the beginning of a process that makes Moana one of Disney's most culturally authentic endeavors yet. For a studio that has been dogged by accusations of cultural insensitivity in the past and present, it was no small accomplishment.
Musker and Clements's 2011 trip to Polynesia, the first of many, led to the birth of what they would later name the Oceanic Trust. Consisting of a group of anthropologists, cultural practitioners, historians, linguists, and choreographers from islands including Samoa, Tahiti, Mo'orea, and Fiji, this group was integral in shaping some of the finest details of Moana, from character design to song lyrics—and they certainly understand the skeptics who raised eyebrows when the marketing materials for Moana were first released.
"Anybody who is familiar with the history of the Pacific Islanders in film, there's cause for worry," said Dionne Fonoti, an anthropologist and filmmaker from Samoa who was part of the Trust. Even the film's young star, Auli'i Cravalho, a Hawaiian teenager making her film debut, admitted that she wasn't so starstruck by Disney's interest to approach Moana without concerns. "I was wary," she admits. "I think that everyone can say they might be a little afraid of it, because when we have a film that is inspired by a culture we want to feel good about it."
When the first designs for Dwayne Johnson's character, Maui—the heroic Polynesian demigod who created the Pacific Islands by fishing them out of the sea—were revealed, some Pacific Islanders objected to his robust shape. Will Ilolahia, from the Pacific Island Media Association, told Waatea News in June that Disney's version looked offensively wrong to him: "[Maui] is depicted in the stories that's been handed down, especially in my culture, as a person of strength. . . . This depiction of Maui being obese is typical American stereotyping." New Zealand M.P. Jenny Salesa, of Tongan heritage, posted a photo of Maui on her Facebook, captioning him "half pig, half hippo."
The film was hit by controversy again in September, when a Maui costume featuring a tattooed body stocking was pulled from the Disney store in the wake of complaints about "brownfacing" and cultural appropriation. "I think we did the right thing as far as the costume was concerned and Maui was concerned," the 15-year-old Cravalho says. Musker calls the pushback "understandable" given the historically bad treatment of Pacific Islanders on film.
Disney Animation has come a long way since the days of "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" and "What Makes the Red Man Red." But even Disney's early 90s renaissance was marked by criticism. "It's Racist, but Hey, It's Disney" a New York Times headline read of 1992's Aladdin, while 1995's Pocahontas inspired at least one scholarly paper about persistent, damaging stereotypes of Native Americans.
But by the time Disney made its first trip to the Pacific Islands with 2002's Lilo and Stitch, the company's increased commitment to cultural respect had led to island research trips and a cast of Hawaiian voice actors who were encouraged to rewrite their lines to include more accurate pidgin and Hawaiian slang. But with Moana—which deals in ancient and sometimes mythological aspects of the wider Polynesian culture—the input was much more granular and scholarly.

Task. What is the least number of resistors which is necessary for solution of this task?
Notes. Certainly it is supposed both consecutive and parallel connection, and their various combinations. In solving it is required to approximate the received value to within four signs after a comma.
Stream. The input stream sets number of resistors k and a demanded resistance of the circuit. The output stream – should specify the minimum number of resistors, or -1 if it is impossible to solder the necessary circuit.

A FORMER nurse who had been accused of child abduction scratched the boy's father on the face and bit him on the arm, a court was told yesterday.
Francis Leonie Hamilton, 31, had also been called a murderer after her baby died and the letters RIP had been daubed on her front door, Flintshire magistrates heard.
It was claimed that one day she had been concerned to find a four-year-old boy near some shops and decided to escort him home.
The boy's father, who had realised that the boy was missing and had gone out looking for him, believed that Hamilton had taken him and became angry.
During the argument that followed Hamilton, of Dyfed Drive, Queensferry, lost her temper, the magistrates were told.
Hamilton had been due to go on trial on an affray charge but the prosecution accepted her guilty plea to using threatening, abusive and insulting words and behaviour.
The magistrates adjourned sentencing with a view to making a community rehabilitation order.
David Boycott, for the prosecution, told the court that the boy's father had returned home from work one day in May last year to learn that his son was missing.
He went out searching for the boy and found him in a nearby street, apparently with Hamilton.
He told the boy to return home where he spoke to him, and the boy said that Hamilton had taken him to the shops.
He asked Hamilton why she had taken the boy.
She said she had not done so and that the boy had followed her.
The father returned to the house but he looked out to see Hamilton throw his son's bicycle towards the house window.
She then picked up a plant pot and threw it.
She was screaming and the father asked her to stop because his children were in the house and he feared that they would be injured if the window was broken.
He grabbed her in order to stop her, she fell to the ground, and during a struggle she bit him on the arm.
It was claimed that she was "going berserk".
Richard Thomas, for the defence, said that Hamilton was a nurse until six years ago, caring for children at a local hospital.
She came from a good family and had a good career but she then gave birth to a child who unfortunately had died.
That had turned out to be a watershed moment for her.
She had suffered from depression ever since and she had also become addicted to anti-depressants.
Unfortunately, she had been using alcohol and had picked up some convictions, although she had not been in any trouble for 18 months.
The police had not charged her for 12 months even though she had been arrested on the night, and having the case hanging over her had been a punishment in itself.
But in that time she had managed to turn her life around and had been working as a flower arranger until recently.
Mr Thomas said that unfortunately Hamilton had been having problems with neighbours who regarded her as something of an oddity in the street.
She had been called names and cruel and untrue comments had been made about the death of her baby.
At one stage "RIP" had been daubed on her door and a number of windows had been smashed.
Hamilton accepted that during the incident in May last year she lost her temper when she was not believed and was initially arrested on suspicion of child abduction.
That charge was dropped.
But while she accepted that she had caused the father of the child injury it was clear that she had also been hurt.

|Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berlin Act, 1908)
|This edition published in The Copyright Act, 1911 (UK).
[ page ]
The Contracting States are constituted into an Union for the protection of the rights of authors over their literary and artistic works.
The expression "literary and artistic works" shall include any production in the literary, scientific or artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its reproduction, such as books, pamphlets, and other writings; dramatic or dramatico-musical works, choreographic works and pantomimes, the acting form of which is fixed in writing or otherwise; musical compositions with or without words; works of design, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving and lithography; illustrations, geographical charts; plans, sketches, and plastic works relative to geography, topography, architecture or science .
Translations, adaptations, arrangements of music and other reproductions in an altered form of a literary or artistic work as well as collections of different works, shall be protected as original works without prejudice to the rights of the author of the original work.
The contracting countries shall bound to make provision for the protection of the above-mentioned Works.
Works of art applied to industrial purposes shall be protected so far as the domestic legislation of each country allows.
[ page ]
The present Convention shall apply to photographic works and to works produced by a process analogous to photography. The contracting countries shall be bound to make provision for their protection.
Authors who are subjects or citizens of any of the countries of the Union shall enjoy in countries other than the country of origin of the work, for their works, whether unpublished or first published in a country of the Union, the rights which the respective law's do now or may hereafter grant to natives as well as the rights specially granted by the present Convention.
The enjoyment and the exercise of these rights shall not be subject to the performance of any formality; such enjoyment and such exercise are independent of the existence of protection in the country of origin of the work. Consequently, apart from the express stipulations of the present Convention, the extent of protection, as well as the means of redress secured to the author to safeguard his rights, shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the country where protection is claimed.
The country of origin of the work shall be considered to be: in the case of unpublished works, the country to which the author belongs; in the case of published works, the country of first publication; and in the case of works published simultaneously in several countries of the Union, the country the laws of which grant the shortest period of protection. In the case of works published simultaneously in a country outside the Union and in a country of the Union: the latter country shall be considered exclusively as the country of origin.
By published works must be understood, for the purposes of the present Convention, works copies of which are issued by a publisher. The representation of a dramatic or dramatico-musical work, the performance of a musical work, [ page ]the exhibition of a work of art, and the construction of a work of architecture shall not constitute a publication.
Authors being subjects or citizens of one of the countries of the Union who first publish their works in another country of the Union shall have in this latter country the same rights as native authors.
Authors not being subjects or citizens of one of the countries of the Union, who first publish their works in one of those countries, shall enjoy in that country the same rights as native authors, and in the other countries of the Union the rights granted by the present Convention.
The term of protection granted by the present Convention shall include the life of the author and fifty years after his death.
Nevertheless, in case such term of protection should not be uniformly adopted by all the countries of the Union, the term shall be regulated by the law of the country where protection is claimed, and must not exceed the term fixed in the country of origin of the work. Consequently the contracting countries shall only be bound to apply the provisions of the preceding paragraph in so far as such provisions are consistent with their domestic laws.
For photographic works and works produced by a process analogous to photography, for posthumous works, for anonymous or pseudonymous works, the term of protection shall be regulated by the law of the country where protection is claimed, provided that the said term shall not exceed the term fixed in the country of origin of the work.
The authors of unpublished works, being subjects or citizens of one of the countries of the Union, and the authors [ page ]of works first published in one of those countries shall enjoy, in the other countries of the Union, during the whole term of the right in the original work, the exclusive right of making or authorizing a translation of their works.
Serial stories, tales, and all other works, whether literary, scientific, or artistic, whatever their object published in the newspapers or periodicals of one of the countries of the Union may not be reproduced in the other countries without the consent of the authors.
With the exception of serial stories and tales, any newspaper article may be reproduced by another newspaper unless the reproduction thereof is expressly forbidden. Nevertheless, the source must be indicated; the legal consequences of the breach of this obligation shall be determined by the laws of the country where protection is claimed.
The protection of the present Convention shall not apply to news of the day or to miscellaneous information which is simply of the nature of items of news.
As regards the liberty of extracting portions from literary or artistic works for use in publications destined for educational purposes, or having a scientific character, or for chrestomathies (selections of choice passages from an author or authors), the effect of the legislation of each country of the Union and of special Arrangements existing or to be concluded, between them is not affected by the present Convention.
The stipulations of the present Convention shall apply to the public representation of dramatic or dramatico-musical works and to the public performance of musical works, whether such works be published or not .
Authors of dramatic or dramatico-musical works shall be protected during the existence of their right over the original [ page ]work against the unauthorized public representation of translations of their works.
In order to enjoy the protection of the present Article, authors shall not be bound in publishing their works to forbid the public representation or performance thereof.
The following shall be specially included among the unlawful reproductions to which the present Convention applies: Unauthorized indirect appropriations of a literary or artistic work, such as adaptations, musical arrangements, transformations of a novel, tale, or piece of poetry into a dramatic piece and vice versa, &c., when they are only the reproduction of that work, in the same form or in another form, without essential alterations, additions, or abridgments, and do not present the character of a new original work.
The authors of musical works shall have the exclusive right of authorizing (1) the adaptation of those works to instruments which can reproduce them mechanically; (2) the public performance of the said works by means of these instruments.
Reservations and conditions relating to the application of this Article may be determined by the domestic legislation of each country in so far as it is concerned; but the effect, of any such reservations and conditions will be strictly limited to the country which has put them in force.
The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not be retroactive, and consequently shall not be applicable in any country of the Union to works which have been lawfully adapted in that country to mechanical instruments before the coming into force of the present Convention.
Adaptations made in virtue of paragraphs 2 and 3 of the present Article, and imported without the authority of the interested parties into a country where they would not be lawful, shall be liable to seizure in that country.
[ page ]===Article 14.=== Authors of literary, scientific or artistic works shall have the exclusive right of authorizing the reproduction and public representation of their works by cinematography.
Cinematograph productions shall be protected as literary or artistic works if, by the arrangement of the acting form or the combinations of the incidents represented, the author has given the work a personal and original character.
Without prejudice to the rights of the author of the original work the reproduction by cinematography of a literary, scientific or artistic work shall be protected as an original work.
The above provisions apply to reproduction or production effected by any other process analogous to cinematography.
In order that the authors of works protected by the present Convention shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be considered as such, and be consequently admitted to institute proceedings against pirates before the Courts of the various countries of the Union, it will be sufficient that their name be indicated on the work in the accustomed manner.
For anonymous or pseudonymous works the publisher, whose name is indicated on the work, shall be entitled to protect the rights belonging to the author. He shall be, without other proof, deemed to be the legal representative of the anonymous or pseudonymous author.
Pirated works may be seized by the competent authorities of any country of the Union where the original work enjoys legal protection.
In such a country the seizure may also apply to reproductions imported from a country where the work is not protected, or has ceased to be protected.
The seizure shall take place in accordance with the domestic legislation of each country.
[ page ]===Article 17. === The provisions of the present Convention cannot in any way derogate from the right belonging to the Government of each country of the Union to permit, to control, or to prohibit, by measures of domestic legislation or police, the circulation, representation, or exhibition of any works or productions in regard to which the competent authority may find it necessary to exercise that right.
The present Convention shall apply to all works which at the moment of its coming into force have not yet fallen into the public domain in the country of origin through the expiration of the term of protection.
If, however, through the expiration of the term of protection which was previously granted, a work has fallen into the public domain of the country where protection is claimed, that work shall not be protected anew in that country.
The application of this principle shall take effect according to the stipulations contained in special Conventions existing, or to be concluded, to that effect between countries of the Union. In the absence of such stipulations, the respective countries shall regulate, each in so far as it is concerned, the manner in which the said principle is to be applied.
The above provisions shall apply equally in case of new accessions to the Union, and also in the event of the term of protection being extended by the application of Article 7.
The provisions of the present Convention shall not prevent a claim being made for the application of any wider provisions which may be made by the legislation of a country of the Union in favour of foreigners in general.
The Governments of the countries of the Union reserve to themselves the right to enter into special arrangements [ page ]between each other, provided always that such arrangements confer upon authors more extended rights than those granted by the Union, or embody other stipulations not contrary to the present Convention. The provisions of existing arrangements which answer to the above-mentioned conditions shall remain applicable.
The International Office established under the name of the "Office of the International Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works" shall be maintained.
That office is placed under the high authority of the Government of the Swiss Confederation, which regulates its organization and supervises its working.
The official language of the Office shall be French.
The International Office collects every kind of information relative to the protection of the rights of authors over their literary and artistic works. It arranges and publishes such information. It undertakes the study of questions of general interest concerning the Union, and by the aid of documents placed at its disposal by the different Administrations, edits a periodical publication in the French language on the questions which concern the objects of the Union. The Governments of the countries of the Union reserve to themselves the power to authorize by common accord the publication by the Office of an edition in one or more other languages, if experience should show this to be requisite.
The International Office will always hold itself at the disposal of members of the Union with the view to furnish them with any special information which they may require relative to the protection of literary and artistic works.
The Director of the International Office shall make an annual report on his administration, which shall be communicated to all the members of the Union.
[ page ]===Article 23.=== The expenses of the Office of the International Union shall be shared by the contracting countries. Until a fresh decision is arrived at, they cannot exceed the sum of 60,000 fr. a year. This sum may be increased, if necessary, by the simple decision of one of the Conferences provided for in Article 24.
The share of the total expense to be paid by each country shall be determined by the division of the contracting and acceding countries into six classes, each of which shall contribute in the proportion of a certain number of units, viz. : —
|1st class
|25 units.
|2nd "
|20 "
|3rd "
|15 "
|4th "
|10 "
|5th "
|5 "
|6th "
|3 "
These coefficients are multiplied by the number of countries of each class, and the total product thus obtained gives the number of units by which the total expense is to be divided. The quotient gives the amount of the unit of expense.
Each country shall declare, at the time of its accession, in which of the said classes it desires to be placed.
The Swiss Administration prepares the Budget of the Office, superintends its expenditure, makes the necessary advances, and draws up the annual account which will be communicated to all the other Administrations.
The present Convention may be submitted to revisions in order to introduce therein amendments calculated to perfect the system of the Union.
Questions of this kind, as well as those which are of interest to the Union in other respects, shall be considered in Conferences to be held successively in the countries of the Union by delegates of the said countries. The Adminis- [ page ]tration of the country where a Conference is to meet prepares, with the assistance of the International Office, the work of the Conference. The Director of the Office shall attend at the sittings of the Conferences, and shall take part in the discussions without the right to vote.
No alteration in the present Convention shall be binding on the Union except by the unanimous consent of the countries composing it.
States outside the Union which make provision for the legal protection of rights forming the object of the present Convention may accede thereto on request to that effect.
Such accession shall be notified in writing to the Government of the Swiss Confederation, who will communicate it to all the other countries of the Union.
Such accession shall imply full adhesion to all the clauses and admission to all the advantages provided by the present Convention. It may, nevertheless, contain an indication of the provisions of the Convention of the 9th September, 1886, or of the Additional Act of the 4th May, 1896, which they may judge necessary to substitute, provisionally at least, for the corresponding provisions of the present Convention.
Contracting countries shall have the right to accede to the present Convention at any time for their Colonies or foreign possessions.
They may do this either by a general Declaration comprising in the accession all their Colonies or possessions, or by specially naming those comprised therein, or by simply indicating those which are excluded.
Such Declaration shall be notified in writing to the Government of the Swiss Confederation, who will communicate it to all the other countries of the Union.
The present Convention shall replace, in regard to the relations between the Contracting States, the Convention [ page ]of Berne of the 9th September, 1886, including the Additional Article and the Final Protocol of the same date, as well as the Additional Act and the Interpretative Declaration of the 4th May, 1896. These instruments shall remain in force in regard to relations with States which do not ratify the present Convention.
The Signatory States of the present Convention may declare at the exchange of ratifications that they desire to remain bound, as regards any specific point, by the provisions of the Conventions which they have previously signed.
The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Berlin not later than the 1st July, 1910.
Each Contracting Party shall, as regards the exchange of ratifications, deliver a single instrument, which shall be deposited with those of the other countries in the archives of the Government of the Swiss Confederation. Each Party shall receive in return a copy of the procès-verbal of the exchange of ratifications signed by the Plenipotentiaries who took part.
The present Convention shall be put in force three months after the exchange of ratifications, and shall remain in force for an indefinite period until the termination of a year from the day on which it may have been denounced.
Such denunciation shall be made to the Government of the Swiss Confederation. It shall only take effect in regard to the country which made it, the Convention remaining in full force and effect for the other countries of the Union.
The States which shall introduce in their legislation the duration of protection for fifty years contemplated by Article 7, first paragraph, of the present Convention, shall give notice thereof in writing to the Government of the Swiss Confederation, who will communicate it at once to all the other States of the Union.
[ page ]The same procedure shall be followed in the case of the States renouncing the reservations made by them in virtue of Articles 25, 26, and 27.
In faith whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention, and have affixed thereto their seals.
Done at Berlin, the 13th day of November, 1908, in a single copy, which shall be deposited in the archives of the Government of the Swiss Confederation, and of which duly certified copies shall be transmitted by the diplomatic channel to the contracting countries.

I have just discovered an incredibly dusty old tome on my shelves, Thomas Platter's Travels in England in 1599. He was a recently qualified physician from Switzerland who came to England fluent in Greek, Latin, and French, with some Spanish, and of course couldn't find anyone who could understand any of them, not even at Oxford. One eminent don confessed he had not heard Latin for decades. So his observations are mostly visual, but they are fascinating. I had heard of harvest home as being some sort of church celebration, but this is an account of the real thing, near Eton, which reminds me of the blog I did on the last tram in London.
"Their last load of corn they crown with flowers, having besides an image richly dressed, by which perhaps they would signify Ceres; this they kept moving about while men and women, men-and maid-servants, riding through the streets on the cart, shouting as loud as they can till they arrive at the barn,. The farmers here do not bind up their corn in sheaves, as they do with us, but directly as they have reaped or mowed it, put it on the carts and convey it to their barns."
He is a Protestant, so did not assume the female image was that of a Christian saint, which it may have been, or, given how late in Elizabeth'r reign it was, probably a folk version of Isidore, or a local saint.
