Spanish At School Translates to Suspension
Friday, December 9, 2005
KANSAS CITY, Kan., Dec. 8 -- Most of the time, 16-year-old Zach Rubio converses in clear, unaccented American teen-speak, a form of English in which the three most common words are "like," "whatever" and "totally." But Zach is also fluent in his dad's native language, Spanish -- and that's what got him suspended from school.
"It was, like, totally not in the classroom," the high school junior said, recalling the infraction. "We were in the, like, hall or whatever, on restroom break. This kid I know, he's like, 'Me prestas un dolar?' ['Will you lend me a dollar?'] Well, he asked in Spanish; it just seemed natural to answer that way. So I'm like, 'No problema.' "
But that conversation turned out to be a big problem for the staff at the Endeavor Alternative School, a small public high school in an ethnically mixed blue-collar neighborhood. A teacher who overheard the two boys sent Zach to the office, where Principal Jennifer Watts ordered him to call his father and leave the school.
Watts, whom students describe as a disciplinarian, said she can't discuss the case. But in a written "discipline referral" explaining her decision to suspend Zach for 1 1/2 days, she noted: "This is not the first time we have [asked] Zach and others to not speak Spanish at school."
Since then, the suspension of Zach Rubio has become the talk of the town in both English and Spanish newspapers and radio shows. The school district has officially rescinded his punishment and said that speaking a foreign language is not grounds for suspension. Meanwhile, the Rubio family has retained a lawyer, who says a civil rights lawsuit may be in the offing.
The tension here surrounding that brief exchange in a high school hall reflects a broader national debate over the language Americans should speak amid a wave of Hispanic immigration.
The National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group, says that 20 percent of the U.S. school-age population is Latino. For half of those Latino students, the native language is Spanish.
Conflicts are bursting out nationwide over bilingual education, "English-only" laws, Spanish-language publications and advertising, and other linguistic collisions. Language concerns have been a key aspect of the growing political movement to reduce immigration.
"There's a lot of backlash against the increasing Hispanic population," said D.C. school board member Victor A. Reinoso. "We've seen some of it in the D.C. schools. You see it in some cities, where people complain that their tax money shouldn't be used to print public notices in Spanish. And there have been cases where schools want to ban foreign languages."
Some advocates of an English-only policy in U.S. schools say that it is particularly important for students from immigrant families to use the nation's dominant language.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) made that point this summer when he vetoed a bill authorizing various academic subjects to be tested in Spanish in the state's public schools. "As an immigrant," the Austrian-born governor said, "I know the importance of mastering English as quickly and as comprehensively as possible."
Hispanic groups generally agree with that, but they emphasize the value of a multilingual citizenry. "A fully bilingual young man like Zach Rubio should be considered an asset to the community," said Janet Murguia, national president of La Raza.

BOTL, or bottom of the line, receiver sounds a bit harsh for this little Kenwood KR-2090. While it only produces 16 watts per channel it's not a bad performer. Introduced in 1978 it was an affordable option for budget conscious stereo buyers.
It has the classic Kenwood styling of the late 1970's with silver face plate, large knobs and large, dark gray dial face.
The Kenwood KR-2090 featured:
- Tape in/out
- Phono input
- Aux input
- Loudness on/off
- Selector switch for AM - FM auto muting, FM mono, phono, aux
- Separate bass and treble and balance controls
- Tuning meter
It's a Kenwood so of course its tuner is far above average. Kenwood's engineers incorporated a 3 gang tuner with a FET front end for high FM sensitivity.
At the time of production the KR-2090 had the lowest distortion of any receiver in its class and the quietest phono section as well.
Buyer's could also pay a little extra for the optional CB-11K walnut veneer cabinet, B-11 walnut veneer side panels, or D-5 carrying handles.
The KR-2090 isn't flawless. It does have a known problem with the power switch which many of that Kenwood line have (KR-2090, 3090, 4070, 5030, and 6030). However, it is fixable so isn't fatal if yours quits on you. Some cleaning and wiper replacement usually remedies the problem.
The smaller receivers aren't nearly as popular as the larger more powerful receivers but they still have their place in the vintage audio realm. Many favor the smaller Kenwood stereos such as the KR-2090 because of their tuning prowess. You certainly can't beat the price. For about $100 or so you can get a really nice and fully functional KR-2090. That makes it a very attractive option for those new into the vintage audio scene.

American culture at the end of 2002 is adrift. As quickly as the New Economy rose, it fell, leaving America rudderless once again. In the 1970s, after the seeming failure of big government to improve people's lives, it took several years for the free-market ethos of the 1980s to assert itself. Now we are in a new vacuum, but we will soon discover a new Zeitgeist.
Already, there are hints of what that will be. Best-seller Jan Karon has sold more than 10 million copies of her novels, which weave a comforting picture of small-town life and religious values. The "Left Behind" novels of Tim LaHaye represent a darker take on similar themes, and have already sold more than 30 million copies. LaHaye chronicles an apocalyptic time in the near future when the Antichrist returns, the Rapture begins and a few pure souls struggle to survive Armageddon. In a related vein, Oprah Winfrey's book club favored novels of troubled family life and communities, and her protege Dr. Phil has developed his own following offering folk wisdom about how to stay married and raise children. Oprah no longer makes a monthly selection, but her success triggered a boom, and there are now an estimated 500,000 book clubs in the United States.
It may seem jarring to link these pop cult figures. Oprah and the Apocalypse? But in the 1970s, hippies and druggies wouldn't have been caught dead hanging out with computer geeks and engineers. By the 1980s, together they started the PC revolution. A decade from now, it will be clear that Oprah and LaHaye were both harbingers of the same Zeitgeist of community and belonging.
Look around. The giddy profits of the late 1990s helped fuel a boom in nonprofits. Today there are more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations employing, by some estimates, 10 percent of the American work force. A few, like the National Football League, take tax advantage of the loose requirements for nonprofit status, but many are helping others for little or no reward. More and more young people and retirees are donating their time to work for a cause.
Amid the explosion of suburban insta-mansions, the Disney Corp. has been building communities in Florida that replicate the 1950s idyll of small-town America. One of these, named Celebration, looks like the set of the movie "The Truman Show." It had far more applicants than the 2,500 slots available, and though the town has since been divided by disputes, it inspired similar communities across the country, many of which are surrounded by electric fences and guarded by private security firms. By most accounts, at least 10 million people now live in gated communities, and the number is growing rapidly. The yearning for connectedness has its Ozzie-and-Harriet side, but it also has a get-off-my-porch-or-I'll-shoot side.
The workplace is evolving in similar ways. Managers organize special seminars to work on team-building, which end up sounding like an amalgam of Sunday sermons and New Age homilies. Closing your eyes and hoping that your co-workers will catch you when you fall is the workplace equivalent of hoping that God will do the same. Each year, hundreds of employees of the Xerox corporation participate in a "vision quest" in the California desert, hoping to bond by sharing a spiritual experience. Given its recent accounting issues, Xerox may not have gained all that much from this exercise, but that has not stopped other companies from sponsoring similar activities.
Then there are seemingly isolated phenomena--protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle and Washington; an Earth Day Summit; a national day of prayer; people downshifting from high-paying jobs in stressful urban environments to home offices in the suburbs. Evanston, Illinois, plans to wire all 28,000 homes in town to encourage residents to shape communal life through an online network called the Evanston Electronic City. President George W. Bush lauds private charities; private charities emulate the efficiency of for-profit business, and companies embrace the ethos of community. And, of course, the legacy of 9-11, which has propelled Americans farther away from New Economy giddiness and toward the next phase.
But while tech utopianism may be dead, the information revolution is still making connections. If enough people read LaHaye, or Karon or Dr. Phil, and a cross section of these work for nonprofits, and a cross section of those live in gated communities, and a percentage of them join volunteer organizations to clean up the environment or to create new towns in Idaho, politicians, the media and corporate America will take note, and then, presto, you have a new ethos. It won't necessarily be a better world--note that LaHaye's bleak novels have outsold Karon's uplifting ones 3 to 1. The talk of community may prove to be cover for something darker; remember, those gated communities have walls and fences and armed guards. More likely, what lies ahead will offer a familiar small-town mix of the charming--and the dysfunctional.

|Group Presentation. Critical reflections from teachers and students.
Day 3: December 16h, 2011
13.30h Lunch
14.30h Conclusions. Each group presents their work uploaded on the Workspaces
18.00h End of the workshop
Students explained in an oral presentation the strategies that they had designed in teams. They presented new perspectives and ideas to transform the Plus Ultra neighborhood.
In this way, the final oral presentation allowed the exchange of views between students and teachers. Critical reflection of teachers was also useful for highlighting the positive and negative aspects of the work done and to encourage students to continue with this task in the courses and seminars in their respective universities.
Finally, the work done at the joint workshop was integrated into the sequence of tasks carried out within the learning activities. Thus, the results of it will feed the activities to be done afterwards.

If there is anything else you need they will purchase for you. Fantastic free WiFi. Great TV is available ...– TripAdvisor Guest
"Excellent setting, amazing staff" – We spent an unbelievable, very lazy week at Zi Villa Beach Cottage. The staff (George, Sam et al) are amazing.

The curry sauce in the calamari curry could be eaten with everything. George or Sam will discuss ...– TripAdvisor Guest

A Few Times I've Cried (& Why I'm Telling You About Them)
The Airbnb Host Who Shouldn't Be

I was over on the East side of town yesterday, having made it there underground from the North end of town. I was totally and utterly discombobulated, and when I emerged into the bright, warm, sunshiny day, I couldn't help but feel a little bit out of place. It is March, but the sun was so warm I de-parka-ed, and was walking in places I had never walked. I started to think about the things I wanted in that moment to make me feel at home in the unfamiliar territory. A latte. Anything can be cured with a latte. I racked my brain trying to conjure up a memory of an article or something that could inform me of which direction to take to find the precious beverage… alas, I was running out of time and just had to walk in the direction I was meant to go, no lallygagging. Five minutes later, there in the distance I saw the telling wooden benches, the picture windows, ecotainer take out cups, and the glow of not only an apple from someone's laptop, but also the unmistakable glow of the Elektra. The espresso machine that I depend on every morning to give me my fix, has a cousin on the other side of the Bloor Viaduct. Who knew? Broadview Espresso is a sweet little place, with hot, disengaged baristas, people with laptops, and exactly what I needed to take the edge off. It was comfy, I knew the script, and didn't surprise me at all that by walking a few blocks into a residential neighbourhood in the Toronto core, I would find what I was looking for. I actually giggled when I saw it and about how I had almost conjured the place in my mind only moments earlier. Pretty decent latte too. Tight microfoam, fancy latte art leaf, and rich flavour.

Continuum Advisory, LLC
Continuum Advisory, LLC was created on the principals of support, creativity,and flexibility to truly be a partner for tomorrow. Allowing advisors to be on the cutting edge of a constantly changing financial world allows them to stay ahead of the game through partnerships with custodians, investment managers, and other advisors.
Our Vision
At the end of 2011, the founders of Continuum Advisory first discussed the changing landscape of the investment world and what their ideal Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) might look like, and a vision began to take shape. The vision included a collaborative environment from coast to coast where advisors could truly own their own business.
Six months later, the three advisors flew to Orange County to discuss and explore the concept further, adding depth to the vision.
After another year and a half of defining and refining our business model, it was presented to our then Broker/Dealers's (B/D) President and CEO in Pleasanton and was met with encouragement and approval.
In May of 2014, the founders again met with the B/D's President in West Palm Beach to create a schedule platform for building the RIA. For the next year and a half, monthly conference calls took place with the B/D's senior management, and a foundation for Continuum Advisory was laid.
The three founders then met in Colorado in February of 2015 for a two-day planning session to finalize details and focus on the technology needed.
At the Leader's Conference in Maui, May of 2015, the final conversation with the B/D's senior management took place, and after the announcement of our acquisition by our new B/D was made in November of 2015, our current B/D, readily agreed to approve the RIA.
Continuum Advisory understands that every advisor is different. There is no top down approach when decisions are made. All advisors have a say in the route that Continuum may decide to go. Investors who allow Continuum Advisory to be the focal point of their portfolio gain access to cutting edge technology and ideas that come from all over the country from our colleagues. Through portfolio managers, clients are able to gain insight from top managers in the industry.

Alright, This Troper is a TalesFantard straight out of Heck (No that really says " Heck"), especially for Symphonia. This guy Loves the Official Couple of that game, and isn't afraid to say so. (Or blatantly stat that they ARE the Official Couple, much to the dismay of the fans of the other pairings.) His handle comes from a dead pairing name of that couple ("Airshipping") and well... claiming it was Canon.
This guy launched "Rogue Protagonist", and isn't quite sure if the credit will be there, because the log in system of this site is kind of iffy. He also wrote up the entry for "Chrome Hounds".

An assistant buyer is an individual who helps a senior-level buyer purchase products for a company to use or resell. Duties an assistant buyer helps with include forecasting consumer trends, meeting sales and budgetary goals, and managing inventory. Specific duties vary by industry.
According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, buyers, including assistant buyers, fall under the "purchasing" category. Wholesale and retail buyers purchase consumer goods for resale to other businesses or to the public. Other buyers purchase farm products, such as wheat or cotton, for processing or resale. Buyers and their assistants may also purchase items their companies use, rather than items for their companies to sell. These products may include cleaning and maintenance equipment, office supplies and business machines. Buyers usually work under the supervision of a purchasing manager.
Neiman Marcus is just one example of a company that has a training program that prepares employees for assistant buyer positions. The assistants learn how to help the company's buyers support vendors, prepare store communications, carry out marketing and advertising campaigns, track receipts, select products based on trend forecasts, and manage inventory and budgets.
Individuals who hope to work as buyers usually begin their careers in sales, and then move up to assistant buyer positions after training. The Princeton Review notes that large companies' buyer training programs typically last from one to five years.

Multilingual Readers, Transition Issues in Multilingual Settings/
In the second issue of Literacy Matters magazine, Dr. Agatha J. van Ginkel's has published the article "Multilingual Readers, Transition Issues in Multilingual Settings", which discusses the key role that multilingualism plays in students' literacy and education in Uganda. Her article presents two important concepts about the relationship between the home language and English.
Dr. van Ginkel presents the interdependence hypothesis as the argument that "in bilingual development, language and literacy skills can be transferred from one language to another." (van Ginkel, par 3) Uganda has updated its education policy to leave space for both languages in its curriculum. But alongside interdependence, there is the threshold theory, where it has been found that a child must have a foundation in their home language, or mother tongue, that enables the transfer to occur smoothly to a second language. And van Ginkel questions whether the current policies in Uganda are enough to facilitate such transitions. The author also challenges the widely held belief that with language learning earlier is better.
The second concept the article presents is the importance of understanding the difference between conversational language and academic language. van Ginkel explains the different ways that these languages are retained by students and that the research in Uganda would suggest children need five or six more years of their home language at the current rate of learning. Citing Marianne Nikolov's paper, "An Early Start: Young Learners and Modern Languages in Europe and Beyond" from 2000, van Ginkel explains that without the proper classroom environment that prepares students for introduction to the second language, early introductions can actually do more harm than good.
Given the good progress that has happened with the language policy in Ugandan schools, further research into the impact of bilingualism in early education and strategic improvements to curriculum will bring additional progress towards more beneficial literacy in both home languages and English as a second language.

Problems faced by TPAs
Third Party Administrators are in a competitive market with limited ability to differentiate. Self-insured employers are setting goals for TPAs to reduce costs, increase return from health programs, improve communication with employees, and use all the employers' health data to improve outcomes.
Main challenges that TPAs face these days are:
- Unable to identify future high risk members using all the data to prioritize care, disease and case management.
- Unable to provide actionable reports and insights to the clients showing ROI of all the programs and initiatives.
- Unable to engage employees in relevant programs to derive value and bend the cost curve while lowering risk.

"A Lincoln in Time" sees the light of day
My short story "A Lincoln in Time" is now available in Heir Apparent – Digital Science Fiction Anthology 4. This is one of my persistence success stories. Sometimes, after a story gets rejected at a few markets, I decide that the story isn't really all that good and I stop sending it out. Occasionally, though, I still believe in the story and so I continue to send it out despite repeated rejections. "A Lincoln in Time" is one of the stories I still believed in.
A couple of times it came close, but the editors wanted me to change the manuscript in ways that conflicted with my vision for the story, so I ended up withdrawing it.
Digital Science Fiction was the fifteenth market I submitted the story to, and I was very pleased that they liked it, and that their suggested editorial changes did not conflict with what I wanted for the story.
I originally wrote this story for the first Codexian Idol Contest, way back in 2005. The contest involved submitting the first 500 words of a story in the first round, then next 1000 words in the second round, and the rest of the story in the final round. "A Lincoln in Time" was first place in the first round and first place in the second round. But when I read the ending of another story in the third round, I knew it would win. That story ended up at InterGalactic Medicine Show: James Maxey's "To Know All Things That Are in the Earth." For my story to come in second to that one is no shame.
To whet your appetite, here's the beginning of "A Lincoln in Time":
Booth raised his derringer, but it was too late—Lincoln had seen him coming. With an agility that belied his gangly frame, Lincoln sprang from his box seat, turning as he rose, and in one smooth motion drew a Smith & Wesson revolver and fired a bullet into Booth's right eye.
I shook my head. The patrons of Ford's Theatre began their usual panic at the gunshot. Ignoring them, I made my way to the box. Lincoln was comforting his wife as I stepped through the curtain. His hand moved for his gun until he recognized me.
"We need to talk, Mr. President," I said, stepping over Booth's body.
He nodded, so I activated the extemp field. The noise of the crowd vanished as they froze in place. I extended the field to include Lincoln.
"I must admit to being surprised by the accuracy of my shot," he said. "Not that I was aiming for his eye, but I thought my moving might make me miss him entirely."
To read the rest, go buy Heir Apparent – Digital Science Fiction Anthology 4 at Amazon. You'll also get nine more stories by:
- Robert Lowell Russell
- Brandon Nolta
- George Walker
- Paul Cook
- Cassandra Rose Clarke
- Ed Greenwood
- Ronald D. Ferguson
- Alex Kane
- Martin L. Shoemaker
One comment on ""A Lincoln in Time" sees the light of day"
I remember that one, and I really enjoyed it. So glad it's found a place to shine. :)

You always have a choice to decide how you want to react. You can always choose your perception.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl
Do you realize what potential lies in this? You never have to be a victim. I know, as humans, sometimes we do, but we don't need to stay there for long. Choose what you want to do with that space. It's never about the circumstances. There's plenty of people who has it all but still kill themselves because of their misery and more people with nothing who are perfectly happy with their life.
We live in a society and time that tries to convince us that it's about the external stuff. Don't buy it. It's not true.
With all my love,

Yep - It's a Tory Government
Image by Byzantine_K Nearly two years in and this is shaping up to be the most infamous Tory government ever. Concentrated Thatcherism with a thin sugary coating of Lib-Dimocrat, soon bitten through to reveal the black and bitter centre. Attacks on welfare, attacks on the unemployed of whom hundreds of thousands of which this government has helped to create. Riots and unrest from growing anger and resentment - and this being blamed on a consumerist and celebrity obsessed society that the Conservatives created, inflamed, and continue to feed upon. Sickening greed - and ever more obscene and growing greed amongst the tiny wealthiest minority at the expense of everyone else. This government can barely see past the pound signs.

The round temples were doubtless used for privatedevotions and for extraordinary religious celebrations, but theirmost definite purpose was that of doing honor to a sacred spotand protecting it from profanation.

CANADA, October 9, 2014 – In recognition of the International Day of the Girl, Plan Canada is calling on all Canadians to celebrate and advocate for a brighter future for the world's girls on October 11, 2014. Plan Canada will mark this day through a series of public events and activities in communities across the country, as well as online.
"While we are making progress on girls' rights in some areas, millions of girls around the world are still not getting the full recognition and investments they deserve to claim a brighter future for themselves," says Rosemary McCarney, President and CEO at Plan Canada. "That future should include the right to an education, the right to health, and freedom from violence. We hope this International Day of the Girl will encourage more Canadians to join this inspiring and powerful girls' movement."
Plan Canada led the call for an International Day of the Girl in 2009 as part of its Because I am a Girl initiative, a global effort to end gender inequality and recognize girls' rights as human rights. Following that call, which received support here in Canada and around the world, the International Day of the Girl was formally declared by the United Nations in 2011.
Plan Canada's 'brighter future' theme for the day this year coincides with its newest creative campaign on TV, print, and online which depicts an image of two newborns – one girl and one boy – and tells a striking story of the life that one of these babies is destined to live simply because of her gender. To help change that storyline in real life, Plan Canada is providing ways for Canadians to get involved in the International Day of the Girl and fuel a global movement for girls' rights:
"For me this day is about standing in solidarity with girls and boys around the world to say girls don't have to put up with discrimination, violence and other challenges that so many girls face today," said Jordan, 16, a Plan Canada youth ambassador with a passion for advancing girls' rights here in Canada and in developing countries. "We're here and we're powerful and we can all work together to make things better for girls."
The voices of thousands of other girls and boys from across the globe underscore the urgent call for change on this third International Day of the Girl, as seen in a new global study, Hear Our Voices, conducted by Plan International and released in Canada this week. In this study, adolescent girls and boys in developing countries revealed that girls do not feel safe, do not see themselves as having rights, nor feel they have the power to make critical decisions about their lives or futures. Plan Canada facilitated a focus group with girls from across Canada exploring similar questions and themes about gender and girls' experiences as those discussed in the Hear Our Voices study. Canadian girls also expressed fear and concerns about their safety and described their experiences with discrimination, stereotyping, harassment, and other severe concerns related to gender.
More information about the global study can be found at becauseiamagirl.ca/hear-our-voices
Founded in 1937, Plan is one of the world's oldest and largest international development agencies, working in partnership with millions of people around the world to end global poverty. Not for profit, independent and inclusive of all faiths and cultures, Plan has only one agenda: to improve the lives of children. Because I am a Girl is Plan's global initiative to end gender inequality, promote girls' rights and lift millions of girls – and everyone around them – out of poverty. Visit plancanada.ca and becauseiamagirl.ca for more information.

Sorry for this delay. Wasn't able to log into Wodify last night when it was meant to be up.
Hey crew….
Just a heads up that Wodify is down and the workout won't be posted at 6pm as normal. I don't know when it will be back up but this means that I can't even do the weekly programming video.

Build to 85% of your 5rm deadlift for a quick 3×5.
Weekly training
3 rounds at a moderate pace of:
625m run
400m row
20 walking lunges
:30 Lizard (each side)

What is a microsleep?
A driver has to fulfil many requirements, often simultaneously: he has to react quickly, follow the speed limits, correctly assess the driven distances and distances to hindrances. A tired driver cannot meet all these requirements. Moreover, fatigue drivers tend to overrate their abilities. They think they are fit enough for instance to get home safely.
If the drivers ignore signs of early fatigue, they can suddenly fall into a so called microsleep. In this phase of one to five seconds although one has their eyes open, people are not able to react. Thus, at the pace of 100 km/h a car covers a distance of up to 140 meters without any control.
How does Anti-sleep Alarm StopSleep work?
Anti-sleep alarm measures the conductivity of the skin (electrodermal activity - EDA). EDA reflects brain activity. The fact that the electrical conductivity of the skin varies, depending on the activity of the brain was found about hundred years ago. Many developers based on this discovery, which led to hundreds of patents. Among others, the function of Polygraphes - the lie detector - based on this principle, the device fixes the changes in skin conductance of those tested in answering the questions.
The processing algorithm of the signal, which is used in the anti sleep alarm StopSleep is used in a reliable detection of the following two states:
- Falling asleep, is characterized by a strong signal decrease
- Reduction of reaction, which can be called by the start of drowsiness, deep thought or simply boredom.
Both conditions are dangerous for the driver, and therefore generate anti sleep alarm StopSleep in these cases warning signals (sound, vibration).
So that the fatigue detection to work properly it is important start to use anti sleep alarm StopSleep in time, when you are still active, and not when you are tired already. The fatigue detection takes 3-5 minutes to measure your current brain activity and then your fatigue is estimated from this level. The anti-sleep alarm don't need to drive specific number of miles, you can put it on before you drive. Stopleep controls the level of your response and can even be helpful for short distance.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed! Try it yourself for 90 days!
We grant you the right to return the StopSleep during the first 90 days after its purchase without providing reasons.

In our previous tutorials, we had covered the methods to delay sending an email in Outlook 2016, how to add a digital signature to Outlook but we missed an important development – the Recall feature in Outlook. The feature recalls and replaces an email message that you sent accidentally or unintentionally. However, the feature is available only for Windows clients. Outlook 2016 for other platforms such Mac do not support this feature.
Recall Email Message in Microsoft Outlook
Reasons for exercising this option can be many and range from an embarrassing typo to anger, only to be regretted later. Whatever the case is, you can undo the 'Send' option in Outlook 2016/2013/2010. Here's how to recall an email!
Open Outlook 2016 and from the folder pane, choose the Sent Items folder.
Next, open the message that you want to recall. double-click to open it.
Now, under the Message tab, choose Actions > Recall This Message.
A new box will open. Click Delete unread copies of this message or Delete unread copies and replace with a new message.
Compose a new message or add something more to the same message, missing earlier.
Please note that if you do not see the 'Recall This Message' dialog in your Outlook 2016 account, you probably don't have an Exchange account.
It is important to bear in mind that the success or failure of a message recall depends on the recipients' settings in Outlook. Consider the following scenario to understand this concept better.
Suppose you want to send a message to someone you know but find that the message is incomplete or missing something important. What do you do? Simple, recall the original message and replace it with a new one.
Under such a scenario, both the original message and the recall message are pushed to the recipient's Inbox and if 'Automatically process requests and responses to meeting requests and polls' checkbox under 'Tracking' option is selected by the recipient then, the original message is deleted and the recipient is informed that the sender has deleted the message from his or her mailbox.
Similarly, if the same checkbox has no checkmark against it, then one of the following things can occur on the recipient's computer,
- The original message gets deleted, and the recipient is informed that you, the sender, have deleted the message from their mailbox (If the recipient opens the recall message first)
- If the recipient opens the original message first, the recall fails, and both the original and recall messages are available for the recipient's view.
Message Recall is available after you click Send and is available only if the recipient has an Exchange account within the same organization.

A better species inventory on Gaya Island's rich biodiversity will be available soon, thanks to a six-day scientific expedition organised by the state park custodian, Sabah Parks.
It is the first such large-scale research effort launched within the proximity of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, involving eight government and private agencies, Universiti Malaysia Sabah and 82 foreign researchers.
A total of 58 research topics have been proposed covering fauna, flora, marine, community and eco-tourism potentials which is hoped would help the State update its biodiversity data.
Sabah Parks Director Dr Paul Basintal said Gaya Island, being the largest of the five Islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, is the only place which has dipterocarp trees in its jungle and virgin mangrove all in one place.
"Two species such as the 'Hopea philippinensis' and 'Quassia Borneensis' which can't be found anywhere else but in Gaya, he said during the launching of the Gaya Island Scientific Expedition.
Dr Basintal said such effort would help determine whether the island's biodiversity was degrading or improved.
Meanwhile, Sabah Parks Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Tengku Zainal Adlin said due to the island's rich biodiversity only 10 per cent of island's size are allowed for development.
"The mangrove on the island plays an important role in preventing beach erosion and as ground for marine life to breed.
Meanwhile, many of the native plants on the other islands have been replaced by the secondary jungle," he said.
He said the findings of the scientific expedition will be the basic tools for data compiling and basic development of scientific data for the park.
Adlin said the work will be the reference for Sabah Parks to better manage on the islands conservation effort.
The findings of the scientific expedition will be available within six months from the date of launch.

What You Need To Know To Have A Stress-Free Wedding
Proper planning makes things even better, and weddings are certainly no exception. This definitely holds true for something as large and as complex as a wedding. The thought itself can overwhelm you. The following wedding tips can help you simplify your wedding plans.
Purchasing a wedding gown online may save you several hundred dollars initially. Keep in mind that sometimes the alterations will cost more than the gown itself. When deciding how much to spend, remember to include the cost of alterations.
Understand that religious faith will influence both what your wedding looks like and your relationship going forward. Talking to your partner about his or her religion is important, but talking to the in-laws about their religion is essential, as well.
When someone is going to talk during your wedding, be sure to have them rehearse what they're going to say in front of you so that you know what they're saying is appropriate. Remember that you'll have people there from all generations, so keep the jokes appropriate.
Should you want to cater the food yourself, look to wholesale stores like Sam's. When shopping wholesale, you can get large amounts of food for cheaper than you could if you did not wholesale shop. Think about asking friends to help you out with food costs.
Your wedding photographs will perhaps be the most important photographs that you ever own. Choose the best photographer you can, even if it costs you extra. You want to be sure that your wedding will be remembered fondly.
You can rent diamonds for your wedding if you desire to look great but have a tight budget. Renting diamonds will allow you to have the wedding look you've always dreamed of, even if you're on a strict budget.
When you are planning your wedding don't forget that people are going to need to get from your venue back to their hotel. Try to get taxis and limos for people that can't get a ride so they can get back to where they're staying when the night ends. This is a great idea for people who drink.
Make sure you write down your vows, this is very important and will be important for your spouse. Marriage is a life long commitment that requires love, sacrifice and the art of compromise and forgiveness. Your vows should fully capture your feelings and dedication to your partner.
Perhaps enlist the help of a friend to help you to carry all your camera gear around. They can also help you track down family members, and get them together for group photographs.
You know to provide the DJ with an idea of all the right music to play, but you should also give a list of all the wrong things he might play. Perhaps it's heavy metal, or country music, or even a previous lover's "special song". Whatever your dislikes, make sure your DJ knows about them.
When you choose to invite family members to join you at your destination wedding, ask them if they would like to stay for the honeymoon, as well! Longer stays at hotels are often discounted so it'll save you money in the long run. This helps make your wedding experience more memorable for everyone!
Fashionable and luxury-loving brides can choose to embellish their bouquet with a touch of sparkle; think Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, and even a sprinkle of diamonds. Doing this isn't difficult. It works with adhesive crystals, costume jewelry, and expensive antique jewelry. To make sure it matches your entire ensemble, use consistency with the sparkly colors, size and cut of the stones.
A great gift for your guests at a destination wedding is a basket that you have delivered to their room full of vacation goodies. Some useful items to include might be tourist information, sun hats, sunglasses, disposable cameras, maps of the area, sunscreen, and so on. A local restaurant guide is also a great thing to include in the basket because it can help them to find great places to eat.
Practice walking down the aisle in front of a full-length mirror to make sure you know what you're doing, especially if you're going to be wearing heels. If you're worried that you will twist your ankle, you can wear flats instead. Having footwear that is less sexy but will keep you from falling is an easy decision to make.
When you are planning table seating, try to set guests in pairs, so you can ensure every table has an even number of those sitting at it. Try grouping tables by age groups so that they can talk about similar things.
A thoughtful gift for destination wedding guests to receive is a basket of vacation goodies delivered to them in their room. This gift basket can include helpful items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, disposable cameras and tourist maps that add a nice touch of flavor to the vacation. It would be nice to also include a guide to local restaurants to make it easy for them to eat.
Silk flowers can be a different variety of flowers you could choose for your wedding. Silk flowers can be chosen and bought months in advance which will save you time and energy.
Schedule your reception for midday. You can cut down on bar costs when you have a reception during the day, when people tend to drink less. What's more, receptions that feature lunch rather than dinner generally cost less money, so you can funnel the savings into better food or some other part of the wedding.
If both bride and groom have a love for travelling, then incorporate a wedding theme that includes this passion. The printed items, such as invitations and thank you cards, can have the look of old maps or vintage postcards. Family photographs and wedding programs could be displayed inside a propped open vintage leather suitcase.
A sweet treat between meal courses is a great way to keep your guests happy. Offer sweet sugar roses or flavored crackers.
If the couple's families are from different cultural backgrounds, both sides can be honored by incorporating traditions, foods, decors, or rituals from both sides. This will create a beautiful blend of traditions for the couple and their families.
The menu is an excellent place to reflect cultural diversity. You can add little twists in different food items, from drinks to dessert options.
If you are going to have kids in your ceremony, dress them in clothing that is comfortable. Choose soft fabrics that are not stiff or uncomfortable. Shoes should always be comfortable. Break new shoes in before the wedding. With an entire ensemble of comfortable clothes, the children can put their energy into their designated roles and leave the outfits alone.
Make a list of the things you want for your wedding, and list each thing by level of importance. Many people feel that flowers are a higher priority than the wedding cake or the guest list isn't as important as the venue. Now that you know what is most important to you, you can allocate the funds accordingly so that you have the best day possible.
Do your research before hiring a wedding planner. Take the time to visualize what your ideal wedding will look like by posting fabric swatches on mood boards, gathering images and inspiration just like professional stylists do. Incorporate pictures, songs, magazine clippings and other details that will help your wedding planning really understand your vision.
Place a number of different-sized potted plants throughout the venue in lieu of costly floral arrangements. You can embellish terracotta pots with colorful ribbons, paint or decoupage, or you may choose glazed stoneware. When the wedding is over, the bride and groom can plant them at their new home, or the guests can bring home as wedding favors.
Add depth to your floral decor and centerpieces by incorporating floral elements of different heights. Put taller flowers in tall vases with compact heads. Surround these tall vases with short vases filled with voluminous hydrangeas, sweet peas, or peonies. The shorter full flowers need to be lighter than the taller and more prominent flowers.
Make your floral arrangements more complex by incorporating different heights. Make use of taller vases for long stem flowers with compact heads. Then use shorter vases around the taller ones, filled with big flowers like peonies or hydrangeas. You can make the shorter flowers a lighter color than the blooms on the taller flowers.
When it comes to weddings, be sure to consider if you want to invite children. You can spare yourself a lot of aggravation and money if you don't invite children. But, some people may not be able to come to your wedding because they do not have a babysitter.
If dancing isn't your forte, you should prepare yourself for the first dance by donning a long skirt and taking a few practice runs around the living room. While you may be accustomed to dancing in a full skirt, chances are your soon-to-be spouse is not used to working around one. This will reduce any feeling of awkwardness that your fiance may have dancing around your large skirt.
If the bride's wedding experience doesn't live up to her expectations, expect to have an unhappy bride. If she feels it's her responsibility to undertake the planning and worry about a below par celebration, it will ruin her entire day. Run everything by her to avoid a "bridezilla!"
Include your guests in your wedding day activities. Do not just have your friends and family stand around waiting for your nuptials to end. There can be a variety of games and activities. You can make your wedding more memorable by planning activities that allow your guests to have fun and interact with each other.
The groom's tuxedo should fit perfectly. Before you pick a tuxedo you should get some opinions. Keep in mind you and your bride will be the main focus at the wedding, so the appearance you present should be the best one possible.
Make sure your bridesmaids know what they are wearing. A simple disagreement over the bridesmaid's gown can severely strain a friendship. Also, try to get something affordable for them. This will ensure a great wedding day free from hurt feelings and misunderstandings.
Watch out for rain. Outdoor weddings are beautiful but you always want to have a plan B for inclement weather. You may think it won't rain on your wedding day, but you really never can tell.
Silk Flowers
Using one credit card, with a liberal rewards program, can be a great way to keep wedding expenses in order and earn a bonus for doing so. When planning your wedding, you will likely accumulate numerous expenses. You may not be able to avoid the expenses, but you might as well try to make them work to your advantage! Use the card for all your wedding purchases, and you'll be pleased with how quickly you earn rewards.
A good way to save some money on your big day is to use an alternative to expensive floral arrangements. For instance, have your flower girl carry ribbon instead of flowers. Beautiful your ceremony by using silk flowers in place of the typical fresh ones. Silk flowers are less expensive, and they last forever. They can be moved around; they can even be used for your reception.
Asking your vendors to recommend other services you may need is a great idea. If you find that desired photographer, ask them to recommend a type of band that you would like. You can then ask the band for referrals to other services. Not only will you find quality individuals this way, the vendors will probably all work better together if they like one another.
The planning stage can get a little crazy and may scare you a bit but a little knowledge will allow you to sleep easy at night and conquer any issues that may come your way. These tips will help make your wedding planning more easy and hassle-free. Hopefully, this information comes in handy for you.
Try something fun and interesting rather than just shopping for an engagement ring. Try using a piece of jewelry that was passed down in one of the families. A keepsake like this can really make one feel that they have truly become a part of the family, along with having something beautiful and vintage that they can wear all the time.

This is an alternate entry looking at Lizzy Elle's work from a slightly different angle. Enjoy.
Like many people, I first came across Lissy Elle's work on Flickr - and I was immediately enthralled by the worlds she was creating. I was delighted to see someone so convincingly documenting the world of her imagination - the events that did not actually happen, except in the narrative of her own inner creation. These are worlds that - as a child - are completely real - - and reflect a rich and deep inner life that few of us might freely confess to enjoy.
Lissy Elle Laricchia's dreamy world can take you to another place, defy gravity, or just allow your mind to wander into the magical spaces between each moment.
The featured quote on her Facebook page seems to fit her beautifully -
"Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it." - Walt Disney
Lissy - may you never stop imagining, or bringing us with you.

Luxembourg, 27 June 2016
Union Syndicale Luxembourg (USL) deeply regrets the recent UK vote to leave the European Union, and this in particular as a majority of highly qualified young people voted in favour of Bremain, as well as voters in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Also, UK citizens themselves will suffer more than all others from the economic, social and cultural consequences of this unprecedented step.
Should this previously unimaginable event mark the turning point in the history of the European project, in the light of all the important historic achievements and the full potential of the future European unification process?
Concerning our British colleagues, we welcome the clarifying and encouraging message of President Juncker (see here). USL will insist on participating in the negotiations with the Appointing Authority in order to preserve the rights of our British colleagues and pensioners in terms of employment, residence, citizenship, pensions and all other important issues.
We will keep you posted on all new substantial developments!
Mrs Georgieva, Vice-President, met Staff representatives
Upon request of the Alliance, amongst others, Vice-President Georgieva already met the OSP-CP on Friday 24 June, to inform them about a first analysis, the foreseeable consequences and the immediate measures intended by the European Commission, further to the decision of the British citizens to leave the European Union.
She wished to express the current deep feeling of sadness within the Commission that now has to face a very serious situation. Nevertheless, she stressed that the European project would go on: the history of the last 50 years showing its countless gains and achievements as to economics, social rights and peace preservation.
The Commission clearly confirms its willingness and determination to sustain the European Union growth and recovery.
At world level, it seems obvious that, by virtue of its size and economic weight, the European Union has more opportunities to play a significant role and has a greater influence than each single Member state would have.
As to the UK citizens, officials of the European Institutions, Vice-President Georgieva recalled the terms of the message that the President of the Commission sent them on the same day : « they are EU agents and Brexit does not imply that the door would close on them; the Commission will work together with the other European Institutions to ensure their stability and continue counting on their outstanding talent, experience and commitment. To summarize: same rights and obligations for all officials of the European Union ».
Vice-President Georgieva also informed the OSP-CP of the holding of an extraordinary European Council on Tuesday 28 June. She said that, based on the Conclusions that would come out of this Council, the Commission would immediately launch a "deep assessment" on "where we are and where we are going", and that the next months would be de facto a very complicated period.
Pending the UK Notification to leave the European Union, which will activate the negotiation of the withdrawal Agreement in accordance with Art. 50 of the EU Treaty, the Commission will draw up a specific political agenda including the structural aspects that should result from it, as to organization and functioning.
Transitory measures are not excluded, if we consider that withdrawal negotiations can last up to 2 years (cf. EU Treaty), even longer.
Though they admit Vice President Georgieva promptly met the OSP, already the day after the Brexit referendum, the Alliance pleaded for:
- the need for a social dialogue frame, Brexit-oriented, on a long term in view in particular of safeguarding colleagues' acquired rights and legitimate expectations;
- the importance to learn from the Brexit in terms of communication to the European citizen;
- a re-invigorated defence of the gains and achievements of the European Union in the political, economic, social and cultural fields;
- the implementation of an organizational and functioning stable framework – that would not be rejected by the staff – as a necessary measure anticipating the consequences of the Brexit on the structure of our Institution.
Considering its strong interinstutional and "multi-area" presence, that gives it some special responsibility, the Alliance will ensure that proper and strict respect is given to the general interest of the European public function, autonomous, competent and independent, as a key instrument of the achievement process of to the European project.
Jean-Claude JUNCKER - Message to staff
24 June 2016
Dear colleagues,
Yesterday, the citizens of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. This result makes me personally very sad – but I respect their choice.
I know that many of you are concerned about your future after this vote. I fully understand that. So I want to send a clear message to you, colleagues, and especially to colleagues of British nationality.
According to our Staff Regulations, you are "Union officials". You work for Europe. You left your national 'hats' at the door when you joined this institution and that door is not closing on you now. As European civil servants you have always been loyal to our Union, contributing tremendously to our common European project. And so it will be in this spirit of reciprocal loyalty that I will work together with the Presidents of the other European institutions to ensure that we can all continue counting on your outstanding talent, experience and commitment. I know you all have legitimate expectations about your rights and duties, your families who might have followed you to Brussels and your children who might be enrolled in schools here.
Let me assure you that I will do everything in my power as President of the Commission, to support and help you in this difficult process. Our Staff Regulations will be read and applied in a European spirit.
In the coming days and weeks, you will all have the opportunity to show the European Commission at its best. The eyes of the world will be upon us, expecting us to provide stability, act decisively and uphold Europe's values. I have every confidence in you. Together we will rise to that task.
Jean-Claude Juncker

O you who believe! Send Blessings (Durood) and Salutations (Salaams) on the Prophet with worthy Salutation".(Surah al-Ahzab: 56) --- Durood or Darood Shareef (from Persian: dorood) is an invocation which Muslims make by saying specific phrases to compliment the Islamic prophet Muhammad. (p.b.u.h.) Durood has various other names like Durood Sahreef, Salawat, Salat ala Nabi, Salat-un-Nabi. Qur'an --- Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. --- Qur'an, Sura 33 (al-Ahzab, ayah 56) In this verse of the Qur'an, God, the Mala'ikah and the Muslims have been mentioned as sending Durood upon Muhammad. (p.b.u.h.) So, Durood Shareef is actually a Dua in praise of Muhammad. (p.b.u.h.) When God sends Durood and Salaams upon Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)
--- Hazrat Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "He who reads a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah blesses him ten times, ten of his sins are forgiven, and he is increased ten times in stages (internally). (Mishkaat)
--- Hazrat Abdullah ibn Ma'sud (radi Allahu anhu) also narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from among the people will be those who have read the most amount of Durood Shareef". (Tirmidhi)
1." On the day of Qiyamah the person closest to me will be the one who has sent the most Durood unto me. " (TIRMIZI)
2." On Fridays, send Durood abundantly on me, as it is presented before me. " (ABU DAWUD)
3. " If any person, who writing my name, sends darood Sharif to me,then for as long as my name remains in that book, Angels will make Du'a of mercy for him. "
4. "Whoever recites Durood at my grave, I hear it myself. And whoesoever recites it from a distance, Angels present them to me." (BAIHAQI)
5. "On the day of Qiyamah, that person will be protected from the frightfulness of Qiyamah who recited durood abundantly to me." (SA'AYA)
6. "For the reciter of durood, Allah sends 70 blessings on him and the angels make dua for him 70 times."(TIBRANI)
7. " On the Day of Qiyamah, besides the Shadow of the Throne, there would be no other shadow.On that Day, Allah Almighty will especially Grant three kinds of
people a place under his trone:
1. Whosoever removed some difficulty of my Ummah and solved his hardship
2. Whoever revived my Sunnah
3. And Whoever recited Doorud Sharif on me abundantly
8."Allah Almighty has appointed a group of angels who travel the world, and in my Ummah, whoever sends salutatations to me, those salutations are presented to me
by these angels." (IBNE HABBAN)
9." Recite durood sharief abundantly on me, it will be a means of cleanliness and purity for you." (ABU YA"LA)
10."Before whomsoever my mention is made, he should recite durood sharief upon me." (Nasa"I)
11. " Whosoever recites Durood Sharief on me 10 times in the morning and evening, I will intercede for him on the day of Qiyamah." (TIBRANI)
12. " Whosoever recites Durood Shareef a 1000 times on me daily, then before death he will see his abode in Jannah." ( SA'AYA)
13. " Whosoever recites Durood Sharief upon me once, the Allah Almighty orders the Kiraman-Katibeen not to record any (minor) sins of the reciter for 3 days."
14. " Send Durood Sharief on me, Allah will also send Durood on you."
"On the Day of Qiyamah, the closest to me from among the people will be those that have read the most amount of Durood ". (Tirmidhi: Kanzul Amaal)
"On the Day of Qiyamah, at all places the closest to me will be those that have read the most number of Durood ." (Sa-daatud Daarain)
"He who sends a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah rewards him ten times and ten good deeds are recorded in his book of good deeds". (Tirmidhi)
"He who reads a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah blesses him ten times, ten of his sins are forgiven and he is increased ten times in stages (spiritually)".
Angels of Allah shower 70 blessings on a man who recites Durood once.
If a person recites 1,000 Durood Shareef daily, he will never die unless he himself sees his place in Heaven with his own eyes.

American teens love texting
Catching up with world+dog
For years, Americans were bemused by the rest of the world's obsession with texting. After all, they had free local calls on their landlines, unlike elsewhere, and sucky cell phone calling plans.
These days, SMS messages cost no more than anywhere else - and America's teenagers are fast catching up with their overseas counterparts in their obsession for texting.
In its latest study of Americana, the Pew Research Center proclaims that cell phone texting is now the preferred channel of basic communication between teens and their friends, with cell calling a close second.
One in three teens send more than 100 texts a day - and presumably this percentage will rise. Some 75 per cent of America's 12-17 year-olds now own cell phones, up from 45 per cent in 2004. That looks a bit on the low side from a UK perspective - where just about every teenager has a mobe.
Girls are more text-chatty than boys, typically sending and receiving 80 text a days, while boys send and receive 30.
Mobile phones are the latest family battlefield, with most parents exerting ""some measure of control over their child's mobile phone - limiting its uses, checking its contents and using it to monitor the whereabouts of their offspring". Paranoia rules everywhere.

My youngest brother died this week. I know no details. He had just turned 78. He was an elementary school teacher, a good one, with a deep love for his students. He left his wife, Charlene and two adopted children and several grandchildren. He was one of the really good guys and i wish i had known him better. I am missing him and wish i could grieve for him properly. Now there are me and my sister (Carl's twin).

Outreach Events
We have participated in many of the great community events on Hawaii Island. All of our staff members have helped set-up and handed out information at our booth at different times. Sometimes we are even joined by our good friend, Smokey the Bear, to help us spread information on fire safety tips!
Occasionally, the local fire crews will also join us with their fire trucks, which the kids (and adults) love to explore.
We hand out a wide range of useful guides regarding "Ready, Set, Go!" and "Firewise" principles, our Waikoloa Dryland Wildfire Safety Park guide, to name a few. For the keiki who visit, we hand out great gift bags full of colorful stickers, pens, coloring books, frisbees, bookmarks and more!
Our newest draw for the keiki has been our Wildland Firefighter Photo Shoot where the young ones get to dress up in real gear donated by National Park Service and Division of Forestry & Wildlife. They can take the memory home with them with a Polaroid photo (yes, they still exist!)
Contact us if you would like us to set up a booth at your event!

"RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant Detox is letting her "whole body talk" in a head-scratching black and white look.
The drag queen, who came in fourth place in the reality TV show's fifth season, used her incredible makeup skills to make it look as if she was in an old, black and white photo at a "RuPaul's Drag Race" reunion in Hollywood.
Wearing a black and grey wig, ornate diamond jewelry and a sexy little black dress, Detox looked every inch a Hollywood starlet of the silver screen.
Detox's silver makeup covered her body from head to toe including highlighted cheekbones, silver lips, arched eyebrows and black nails which gave her a dramatic effect.
Think the people standing beside her thought they had travelled back in time?
