Large Mural Under Pearson Bridge
I have not found out if this is the product of a 'city sanctioned' project or the work of an ambitious local artist. Anyone know??
The large mural covers the entire length of the concrete wall supporting one end of the Pearson bridge. An area which had been frequently targeted by the local graffiti crowd.
The next time you are down to Maffeo-Sutton Park take a walk under the bridge to appreciate this hidden object d' art.

It is quite hard to describe the psychology of going to a gig of a band that one loves, especially when this gig is about the presentation of the band's latest album. I consider 'Songs For The Broken Ones' to be the best album of The Eden House to date and it has been too long since the last time I saw Monica Richards (who is playing a major role in this album) perform, so this gig had all the ingredients to be a perfect one. Apart from The Eden House whose show was both mesmerizing and beautiful, this was an evening with many surprises, but let me take things from the beginning.
Siberia was the fourth band that was included in the evening's line up that we did not know about. Siberia, a.k.a Matt(vocals) and Dave are from Reading and released their debut album entitled 'Turning Back Tides' through Swiss Dark Knights earlier this year. The rhythms and overall style of this album hark back to the music and style of The Mission. Their show had a lot of passion as Matt is a very communicative performer with a warm voice, one who charges with emotion every verse of each song. I loved the rhythms and the melodies of their music but I found that at times the singing was more focused on expressing the dynamics of the lyrics rather than being on pitch. On the other hand, once the attention was focused on the expressions and the emotions that were being communicated, pitch accuracy sometimes became less important.
Next was The Society and with them, the second surprise, as the band appeared with a new singer and a different bassist, since the last time we saw them perform live at Electrowerkz on November 2015.First of all let's clarify that The Society is one of the two halves in which the band The Danse Society, has split up in 2014. The Society is the band that was started by Paul Gilmartin (drums) and uses this name after a legal battle has settled a disagreement about the use of the name 'The Danse Society'. The last time we saw this band, their sound and overall stage appearance was perceived as both 'heavier' and 'harsher' compared to their appearance at O2 Academy Islington. Brian Jay was the lead vocalist and Ade Clarke was playing the bass. Sometime in 2016, Jonathan Cridford replaced Brian and is now the lead vocalist with which the band self released their latest EP entitled 'Night Ship'. A few people around me were wondering whether this was actually The Society playing, something that became clear, only when 'Somewhere' was played. This also happened when the band played live at Electrowerkz even though the banners and artwork of The Danse Society were hanging from the walls. The setlist included old songs of The Danse Society such as 'Seduction' and 'These Frayed Edges' and new songs from the recent EP of the band.I liked Jonathan's stage appearance and his energy which motivated the audience. He is less austere, more gothic in aesthetics and has a more lyrical voice than Brian whose background was in metal music. I find that aesthetically, Jonathan fits the band's renewed sound better, where Brian applied colder colours and grungier mood to the sound of the band, Jonathan applies sensitivity. In addition, Jonathan's kinesiology adds lighter dimensions to the heavy guitars. It is important to stress that the sound of 'Night Ship' is also stylistically different from the album 'Reincarnated' that this band released in 2015 as The Danse Society. In this EP, there is less focus on the heaviness of the drums and the electric guitars are not on the foreground. The music now has more electronic and melodic elements at the back, courtesy of the synth melodies which sadly we did not enjoy enough during the live show as Darran (Guy) at the keyboards was almost hidden from view at the back of the stage and the sound of the keyboards was not stressed enough. Towards the end of the show, a fifth musician joined the band on stage playing percussion, which was a great addition to the lineup and to the sound. As much as I enjoyed the show of The Society I could not help but hope that this band finds its character and gets more stability in its lineup.
What came next was a violently happy wave of positivity that was much needed and to which everyone responded warmly. The Skeletal Family is indeed a tightly knit, deathrock, punk music family that has so much energy, that it can keep you excited until at least two days after the gig! It had been many years since the last time I saw the band play live and I had greatly missed their shows. What these four musicians with their dedicated stage sound engineer have built over the years is an unparalleled, enviable confidence in sharing the stage and playing together as a team and an admirable spontaneity and sincerity in the communication with the audience. If you were not knocked off your feet during the set of The Skeletal Family, then you might have missed your only chance to dance hysterically and carefree during this gig. People around me were comparing Anne Marie's style to that of Nina Hagen and I wanted to join one of those conversations that happened in between tracks, in order to say that aesthetically she was the equivalent of Pris at The Blade Runner. We listened to 'She Cries Alone', 'So Sure','Don't Be Denied','Last Train','This Time', before the band closed with a frenetic version of 'Promised Land'. The presence of a stage sound engineer really made a positive difference in the quality of the sound that arrived at the audience both at the front and at the back as lyrics were heard clearly and riffs showed no sign of muffled sound. Apart from Ozzy (drums), there was not a single musician that was not dancing and who was not caught in the atmosphere of the songs. At times dancing with each other and at other times just enjoying the rhythms, the music and the atmosphere, Anne Marie, Trotwood, Stan and Ozzy created a time capsule transferring the people that were too young during the 80s, to the atmosphere the band must have created while playing live then. I found myself wishing there was more time left for them to play but now it was finally the turn of the beloved Eden House to take stage!
The time was almost 21.30 and the venue was still not full…This was surprising considering that The Eden House were showcasing their new album through this gig that was part of their UK tour. The atmosphere in the audience was also charged by that point, as a few people at the front were already being confrontational with each other, but let's come back to that later.
Microphones wrapped in flowers were placed at the front, a still from the interior of a gothic church, was projected on a screen, part of the setting that the band used for filming a video and for the artwork of their album, as the Eden House prepared the stage very quickly. As Louise (Crane) and Meghan (Noel Pettitt), two of the five singers that participated in the band's latest album, found their places behind the microphones, the central microphone was empty ready to welcome Monica Richards after the first song, 'Neversea' from the EP 'Time Flows'. The next surprise of the evening was the absence of Bob (Loveday) at the violin, which caused me some concern as the violin is an instrument that plays a major role in the atmosphere of the band's music. As we spotted Christina (Emery), the violinist of Red Sun Revival in the audience, we could not help but think that it would be really great if Christina was invited to cover for Bob during this show. There were already two members of Red Sun Revival on stage, Simon Rippin giving life to the rhythms of the drums and Rob Leydon at the electric guitar and backing vocals, so Christina's presence would have been ideal for this show… Monica Richards, joined the two talented vocalists in the next song and was greeted with a warm applause. The energy on stage was positive yet more composed compared with that of The Skeletal Family and apart from the occasional gaze between the vocalists, the musicians were not very communicative between themselves, each focusing on their own role and their personal communication with the audience. It is a different approach to a live show really. There are bands which focus on creating 'a bang' on stage with their attitude and expressiveness and other bands which focus more on establishing a connection with the audience on a personal level. The character of the music of The Eden House, calls for a different attitude on stage and that is what everyone delivered in a beautiful way. Everything was true to the aesthetics of the band's music, from the melodies that Stephen (Carey) played on the guitar and Monica's extroverted and magnetising performance, to Louise's nymphic outfit, Meghan's contemplative gazes and warm voice, the beats that Simon (Rippin) was passionately expressing, the riffs that Rob (Leydon) played with an air of mystique, the notes that Tony (Pettitt) played, skilfully and with an air of captivating aloofness.
The songs that formed the setlist covered the history of the band so far and the selection was such, that Monica Richards was several times off stage. The next surprise was that, sometimes, in between songs, Rob was vaping which gave him the air of medieval nobleman but also made someone from the audience make a joke about it that received no reaction from the band. Talking about the audience, we sadly read on social media, that someone threw a piece of glass on stage and while we did not witness this incident, we do not find this strange, especially because by that time, halfway through the show, some people were already drunk and their confrontational attitude was evident. Security was not called by anyone as is often the case during gigs and it was pure luck that prevented the occurrence of an accident on stage, as a result of this behaviour.
'Misery','Verdades (I Have Chosen You)' , 'The Ghost of You', 'Words And Deeds','Second Skin','12th Night' were the songs from the latest album that were performed while the band also visited their first album 'Smoke&Mirrors' by offering beautiful versions of 'All My Love', 'Reach Out' with Louise at the lead vocals. It would have been nice if the beautiful video from 'Verdades (I Have Chosen You)' would have also been projected as well, alongside the rest of the videos that the band has created to accompany their latest album. Overall the sound was very good even for somebody sitting at the back but I could not help but think that a stage engineer could also enhance the melodies in the band's music even further. Towards the end of the show, the band had saved two more pleasant surprises for us, the inclusion of two Faith&The Muse songs from the past, 'Battle Hymn' which happens to be one of my absolute favourites, to which Rob Leydon provided backing vocals and 'Sparks'. The band closed the show nicely with 'To Believe In Something'.
Although I did not have the chance this time to listen to my favourite songs from the latest album of The Eden House, 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and 'Let Me In' , I did have the chance to enjoy a fantastic show by the band who could not have showcased their latest work in a more impressive way!

El Anatsui
Sculptor and teacher whose shimmering curtains made of thousands of throwaway metal objects have seen an upsurge in demand and value
Although the sixty-nine-year-old Ghanaian-born, Nigeria-based sculptor and teacher has been active since the 1970s, the last decade has seen El Anatsui's reputation rocket. His breathtaking, shimmering curtains made of thousands of throwaway metal objects – bottle caps, aluminium wrappings, metal graters, printing plates – have wowed crowds across the world this summer, from the Brooklyn Museum of Art to the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition and the Venice Biennale.
El Anatsui's work, meanwhile, has been yielding record prices at auction and waiting lists at his galleries, as collectors and institutions find in his flowing, abstract 'fabrics' both aesthetic wonder and a stoic commentary on globalisation, consumerism and the cultural, social and economic histories of West Africa.

Hyenas are any feliform carnivoran mammals. Although phylogenetically they are closer to felines and viverrids, hyenas are behaviourally and morphologically similar to canines in several aspects. Spotted hyenas may kill as many as 95% of the animals they eat, while striped hyenas are largely scavengers. Generally, hyenas are known to drive off larger predators, like lions, from their kills, despite having a reputation in popular culture for being cowardly. Hyenas are primarily nocturnal animals, but sometimes venture from their lairs in the early-morning hours. With the exception of the highly social spotted hyena, hyenas are generally not gregarious animals, though they may live in family groups and congregate at kills.
More information on Hyena can be found on Wikipedia.

Privilege and Contempt
At An Abortion "Bypass" hearing (this is a proceeding where a minor seeks to avoid obtaining parental consent prior to obtaining an abortion in this case "J.J." testified that her parents were drunks--the Judge sought information in order to report the child abuse and neglect testified to by "J.J."):
Attorney Adams: " I respectfully decline to give any information that I may have. At this time I have no information. … I do not know anything other than that her initials are "J.J" and that her first name is (redacted). … And she has instructed me to decline giving any information. She is my client. The privilege is hers. It is not mine. … "
Judge Karem: " And how do you know her first name?"
Attorney Adams: " She gave it to me."
Attorney Adams: " She did give me her last name, and I am not going to give it to the court."
Judge Karem: " So you do know her last name?"
Attorney Adams: " Yes, I do, and I'm not going to give it to the court."
Judge Karem: " That is contrary … to what you told me a few seconds ago, that you didn't have any other information but her first name."
Attorney Adams: " I misspoke. I'm sorry."
Judge Karem: " At this point I think you need to be quiet."
Attorney Adams: " Whatever."
Judge Karem: "Ma'am, you have an attitude."
Judge Karem found Ms. Adams in contempt of court and sentenced her to jail for 6 months. According to an excellent story at the Louisville Courier-Journal by Andrew Wolfson, the matter is pending before the Court of Appeals and Ms. Admas' incarceration is on hold.
I've actually been in this dilemma as a lawyer, fortunately for me my client "waived" his privilege and I was able to make the disclosure demanded by opposing counsel and the court. But I didn't preface my refusal to make the disclosure with the flippant "misstatement" which is causing attorney Adams so much grief. You see what's going on here, is a battle of wills between two veteran attorneys neither of whom wishes to appear foolish.
In my opinion, Ms. Adams owes Judge Karem an apology for the flippancy of her "misrepresentation," and Judge Karem should yield to the principle of privilege.

I have never experienced such a kangaroo Court room as the one Ms. Annette Karem resides over. She takes the J in justice and turns it into a JOKE! I am amazed that the people of Louisville, Ky. aren't embarrassed by her. I was extremely embarrasses for her I am also bewildered that she is IT for family Guardianship cases! She behaves like a teen ager, waving her power as judge around like some sorority pin. How unfortunate she happens to be female because she has no idea what that means, she has no heart, no compassion no maturity just wants to be in the good ol' boys club! She rules over family matters with the superficiality and shallowness that only someone of her reputation and demeanor arrogance ignorance Could, her inability to listen makes her a nuisance to society. Please Louisville you CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS! Think next time you vote this is not a high school popularity contest these are human being lives this heartless, clueless,sub human creature is playing with.ReplyDelete
I agreeeeee!!! This judge is arrogant, doesn't listen and makes a mockeries of people's time. She claims she is an advocate for the mentally ill but she shows no concern! She declined amental inquest warrant on a mental I'll veteran. When I came before her doing motion hour. This judge took no responsibility for admitting her mistake but proceeded to praise a state Guardian who was not doing her job in taking care for this person's well-being and safety. Why and how did she become a judge in this capacity. She has no compassion!!!ReplyDelete

Cristian Rivera Foundation Committee Member Victor Martinez Dedicates Arnold Sports Festival Appearance to Cristian Rivera
Professional bodybuilder "Mr. Olympia" Victor Martinez, a committee member of the Cristian Rivera Foundation, announced that his upcoming appearance at the Arnold Sports Festival will be dedicated to Cristian Rivera, as well as the foundation that shares his name. Martinez knew Cristian before he passed away from pediatric brain stem tumor in 2009 and visited him in the hospital during his final days. "It was heartbreaking to see Cristian in his last moments," said Martinez, "but I was happy to be there for his father, John 'Gungie' Rivera, during his toughest times." Martinez will compete in the bodybuilding portion of the Arnold Sports Festival on Saturday March 1 in Columbus, Ohio. The multi-disciplinary event lasts from Friday February 28 through Sunday March 2 and features a variety of sporting events, including boxing, mixed martial arts and hockey, to name a few. "The Cristian Rivera Foundation has come a long way and I know that often you start something and it eventually fades away, so this is my way to shine a light again on this great cause," said Martinez.
John "Gungie" Rivera Among Honorees at
the 8th Annual BORIMIX: Puerto Rico Fest

The night will also include the BORIMIX Awards Ceremony, which spotlights leaders in the Puerto Rican community. Included among this year's recipients is John "Gungie" Rivera, who is accepting the award for his amazing and inspiring with the Cristian Rivera Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that has raised more than $400,000 to help fund research into curing a rare pediatric brainstem tumor called DIPG.
John "Gungie" Rivera Gives Dr. Mark Souweidane Gifts and Donation from the Fifth Annual

Dr. Souweidane was happy to accept not only the donation check but also two surprise gifts from the Fifth Annual Cristian Rivera Foundation Celebrity Gala—an Andy Pettite-autographed baseball, for which John "Gungie" Rivera outbid him by $50, and a painting of Cristian, painted live at the Gala by Japanese artist Pisu, for which Cristian Rivera Foundation Committee Member Andy Epstein outbid him by $100. Pisu has done live paintings at the Gala every year since the Third Annual Gala. The Cristian Rivera Foundation is proud to give Dr. Souweidane all of these things to show our support as he continues his work toward a cure for DIPG.

Remembering Ralph Mercado on His Birthday, September 29
September 29 is always a tough day for me because it's the birthday of my friend and partner Ralph Mercado. Ralph was diagnosed with a brain tumor just weeks before my son Cristian, and he and Cristian passed away from their respective brain tumors a few weeks apart as well. Ironically, Ralph's birthday on September 29 is also just a few weeks after Cristian's birthday on September 13. So three times each year, I'm hit especially hard as I remember two important people who left my life too soon: on their birthdays, the anniversaries of their diagnosis and the anniversaries of their passing. I try to focus on the fond memories I shared with Ralph. Usually around his birthday, Ralph and I would have a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. We would always celebrate his birthday on the last Saturday of September in Los Angeles. Ralph was such a pioneer in the Tropical Music industry and he is someone who started so many careers for artists and executives alike. He was one of my idols. He was a mentor, a partner, a father figure and a friend. How ironic that I lost Ralph and my son to brain tumors. I can't wait for the day when brain tumors are a thing of the past.
Collaborating to Cure DIPG
DIPG Dad Juan Manuel Viu flew to the U.S. from Spain once again to meet with fellow DIPG Dad, John "Gungie" Rivera at The Cristian Rivera Foundation offices in New York last night. Dr. Jaume Mora, of Spain's Hospital Sant Joan de Deu flew into Boston earlier in the week to speak with Dr. Mark Kieran of the Boston Children's Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The next stop on his trip included a meeting in New York with Dr. Mark Souweidane of Wiell Cornell and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. After speaking with both doctors about recent advancement in DIPG research plans, Dr. Mora met with John "Gungie" Rivera and Juan Manuel Viu at the CRF offices. From there, they enjoyed dinner at Babalu Restaurant in the Bronx to discuss upcoming collaboration to cure DIPG.
Remembering Cristian Rivera
On January 25, 2009, the world lost a smart, brave and all-around remarkable 6-year-old boy named Cristian Rivera as his two-year battle with DIPG came to an end. Three years later, we remember Cristian on the anniversary of the day he earned his wings and went to Heaven. Cristian is loved and missed dearly by his father John "Gungie" Rivera, his mother Jenelle Asencio, his big brother JC, his sister Brittnee Hudson, the rest of his friends and family and everyone at The Cristian Rivera Foundation. Throughout his illness, Cristian remained positive and never let the cancer get the best of him. Though his life was cut tragically short, Cristian made an everlasting impression with his affection, loyalty and good sense of humor. His legacy will never be forgotten as we work tirelessly in his name to find a cure for the disease that took his young life.
Jordan Malave Earns His Wings After Long Battle With DIPG
With great sadness, the Cristian Rivera Foundation announced that Heaven gained another DIPG Angel on Thursday November 17. Jordan Malave passed away at 6:30 on Thursday morning, bringing to an end his three-year battle with DIPG. He fought for an exceptionally long time and showed incredible bravery and strength in the face of this terrible disease. Cristian Rivera Foundation founder John "Gungie" Rivera had become close to Jordan and his parents, Leeana Castro and Jayson Malave, and even saw Jordan after his kindergarten graduation this past June. Jordan reminded John very much of Cristian, and watching him suffer was like living through Cristian's illness all over again. John and the entire Cristian Rivera Foundation extend their sincerest condolences to Jordan's family as they are once again reminded how horrible DIPG is and why it needs to be cured within our lifetime.

Wimbledon 2007
If at any point a match has been unduly dominated, it's the 2007 Wimbledon men's last. When it was finished, it was the most noteworthy quality match that had ever been played—until the world saw Nadal and Federer play on a similar court a year later.
In any case, for this situation, second best is still entirely astounding. In some ways, this match spoke to both the pinnacle of their contention, and the pinnacle of Federer's rule over the tennis world. In 2006, Rafa and Roger split the French Open and Wimbledon finals, and in 2008, Nadal tilted the adjust toward him when he beat Federer in them two. Yet, in '07, while Nadal was surrounding his position of authority, Federer remained the lord. This match gave him his fifth straight Wimbledon title, however it was likewise the first run through amid that 35-coordinate stretch that he had been pushed to five sets.
A celebratory handshake at the net said everything. The two had quite recently created a grass court great, and everyone on Center Court, the soldiers notwithstanding, knew it. They had released a torrential slide of passing shots and finger-licking contact volleys and drop shots for almost four hours in a row.
In the courtside interview with Sue Barker Nadal got a laugh out of the English crowd.
"Well anyway, I lose today!".
Federer however made more of a prophetic statement than he'd have liked to:
"I'm happy with every title I get before he takes them all!"
Roger Federer def. Rafael Nadal 7–6(9–7), 4–6, 7–6(7–3), 2–6, 6–2

Harmonie State Park
Harmonie State Park sits on the eastern bank of the Wabash River in extreme southwestern Indiana. It is a relatively new park, dating from 1966, and there are signs throughout of displaced civilization. You won't have to look hard to find (or smell) old roads and operational oil wells. It's not my favorite park, but it does have its own redeeming characteristics.
Wabash River
Like other natural areas in the corners and along the edges of the state, Harmonie is home to many plants and animals that are rare or non-existent elsewhere in Indiana. For example, cypress trees are common here. This southern species favors very wet or even submerged soils; their buttressed trunks flare into the dark water, often surrounded by emergent "knees".
There are a half dozen trails, but many follow old roads and few are more than about a mile long. None are very challenging. At two-and-a-half miles, Trail 4 is the longest, and gets my vote as the best. Though it has its share of road walking, it also follows a nice little creek for a while, incorporates a bit of climbing, and passes a number of large trees.
Trail 1
Another point in Harmonie's favor: perhaps because of its rather remote location, it doesn't seem to get a lot of use. I've noted sparse crowds even on a gorgeous June weekend, with numerous sites available at the campground. Many of the facilities appeared to be waiting for someone to show up and use them.
If you're in the area, I suggest a visit to the nearby town of New Harmony. Lutheran communalists arrived in 1814, but packed up and sold their holdings to Robert Owen's utopian community in 1825. Both groups are long gone, but much of the town they built remains, and it is rich with history.
Posey County. From the intersection of IN 69 and IN 269, west 0.9 miles on IN 269 to the park entrance.

Those familiar with QK will know that it's a perfect fit for multiple choice questions. But this semester I found a way to use QK in an exam for my college level English students that included both multiple choice questions and open questions (where students write a paragraph or more).
To make QK work for open questions, I needed to create a number of criteria for a single question and associate each criteria with a single QK multiple choice question. For example, question 11 in my exam asked students to write an email and had 5 criteria:
Question 11
- Criteria 1: Mention your 'Common acquaintance'. (QK Question 11).
- Criteria 2: Your 'Reason for writing'.(QK Question 12).
- Criteria 3: Be 'Giving information' in general (QK Question 13).
- Criteria 4: Make reference to 'Attachments' with more detailed information. (QK Question 14)
Criteria 5: Write some 'Final comments' and 'Close'.(QK Question 15)
Take a closer look at my exam paper here if you want: Quick Key Mixed Question Type Exam
If the student satisfied a single criteria, I simply marked A on their mark sheet (which I designated as the correct answer when setting up my quiz on the QK website) and if they did not satisfy the criteria I simply marked B. Now obviously open questions require the teacher to fill in the bubble on the student Quick Key bubble sheet themselves, but in my experience this still delivers overall a significant time saving: I read, decide if the answer has satisfied the criteria and then mark either A/B. I mark swiftly this way and when I am done filling in the open questions on the bubble sheet I can scan and collect all the marks (student and teacher chosen) swiftly with my iPhone QK app.
Is this high quality marking? For criteria based marking I think it is. And I am still able to take time out and jot comments in the margins of a students exam paper if I want to!

How to get rid of burn marks?
Marked as spam
Private answer
Few years ago my girl dropped hot water on her legs and ended with serious burn marks on both legs. More than the pain, she was crying for the burn marks that wouldn't completely go. After a few weeks as her bruises were healed, I started researching for some natural ointment that would lighten the marks. I found out that coconut oil was a good option for naturally lightening scars including burn marks and my girl started applying it. It took some months but the marks did get lighter in appearance. One fine day, while discussing about the incident, my friend told me, 'Why don't you try aloe vera?' Although, I was happy with the coconut oil results, I thought why not give it a try. So, I asked my girl to apply aloe vera regularly. It was amazing to see that the burn marks got even lighter!

Hello Parents & Guardians,
This is Reuben Jones, your new principal. It is amazing that we are already finishing our 2nd week of school! I hope your sons and daughters are off to a great start!
As principal, I am honored to share with you a weekly message to keep you informed and aware of all things Diamond Bar. Mostly everything that I will share is either posted on our website or printed on a flyer somewhere on campus. The purpose of this message is make a special effort to communicate directly with you on a weekly basis. As such, I will send a weekly message home to parents communicating school-wide items, upcoming events and Brahma highlights! The message will normally be sent out Monday mornings around 10:00am. Your input and thoughts are always appreciated so please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
During the first week of school, we opened up the year with a welcome back to school pep rally on the minimum day. It is our way of showing the students how great it is to be back at Diamond Bar! Special thanks to USB, our student leadership group, for organizing the rally. Also last week, our Grade Level Coordinators (GLCs) met with all grade levels and reviewed our school rules and procedures. We wrapped up the first week with our community celebration on Friday night, the Rodeo Round-up! If you missed it, our students, staff and parent groups (Magnificent Seven), organized a fantastic party for all ages. The Magnificent 7 is what we affectionately call our seven parent groups: African-American parents (CAAP), Brahma Boosters, Brahma Foundation, Chinese-American parents (CAPA), Hispanic parents (HOPE), Korean-American parents (KAPA), and South Asian parents (SAPA). All of the food at our Rodeo Round-up was donated by the Mag 7 and all the proceeds raised went directly to support our student programs! Thanks President Rachel Chang and the Mag 7 for a great way to begin the year.
I am excited to report that we have been once again ranked as one of the top high schools in our State and Nation by Newsweek. Newsweek's top 500 schools in the nation awarded us the ranking of 128! And out of the top 500 schools, 51 are in California. Of the 51 schools in California, our ranking is 19th in California! Special thanks to our extrodinary teachers who provide world-class instruction for our students and thanks to our exceptional students who continue to perform in all areas of school involvement, academics, arts, athletics and activities. You should feel very good about the amazing school your sons and daughters attend and we are more and more committed to continuing to see all of our students succeed!
I apologize for the inconvenience, but our original Back To School Night date was scheduled for Thursday, September 8 (old Date).

Public Information: (718)739-6400
The definition of a room for MCI purposes only is as follows:
(1) A windowless kitchen containing at least 59 square feet or a
kitchen of any size with window. In either case, a kitchen
must be enclosed by at least three sides, excluding the
side(s) that contain(s) the entranceway.
(2) An enclosed area with window containing at least 60 square
(3) An enclosed area without window containing at least 80
square feet.
Bathrooms, walk-in closets, porches, terraces and hallways are
not rooms.
An "enclosed area" is an area bounded by ceiling-to-floor walls,
one or more of which may contain an entrance way. An entranceway
to an enclosed area must be either a door or an open archway that
usually has dimensions similar to those of a standard-size door
frame, but which may be as large as a double-sized door frame. A
sliding door or other type of door will generally qualify as an
entrance way to an enclosed area. However, where two adjacent,
otherwise enclosed areas are separated by an archway greater in
size than a double-sized door or are distinguished from each
other by a clearly perceptible difference in geometric form (such
as an "L" shape), and where each of those areas contains at least
60 square feet and at least one window, such adjacent areas shall
be considered two rooms.
A dwelling unit will be determined to have the same number of
rooms as other like dwelling units (as determined, for example,
from alteration plans or by comparison to other dwelling units in
the line) notwithstanding that it has been altered or customized
in a manner which would have resulted in a lower room count if
the other principles set forth in this Policy Statement had been
The owner should use this definition of a "room" in applying for
MCI rent increases for both rent-controlled and rent-stabilized
apartments. Each affected tenant will be advised by the DHCR of
the number of rooms ascribed to his or her apartment by the owner
in the MCI application. If a tenant objects to the room-count for
his or her apartment as indicated in the owner's MCI application,
such objection must be made in the MCI proceeding.
The change made by that part of this Policy Statement which sets
forth the qualifications of a kitchen (paragraph numbered "l"
above) shall be effective immediately, and shall apply to all
pending MCI proceedings. In all other respects, this Policy
Statement shall be effective for all MCI applications filed on
and after October 15, 1993, or upon such later date as new
application forms will have been made available containing the
revised definition of "room" set forth in this Policy Statement.
Until such time, Policy Statement 90-3, which sets forth the
current definition of "room" for MCI processing, shall remain in
August 20, 1993

How Online Casinos And Cell Phone Companies Are Similar
I get Google+ messages from readers every now and then asking about bonuses. I'm not surprised. I have been a vocal critic of bonuses yet they are the very foundation of the online casino industry. Most people want to know whether a specific bonus is a good deal. Some people want to know if I have any tips on how to beat bonuses. A few people want to know what the best bonuses are.
Well let me say in no uncertain terms that bonuses are bullshit. Say it with me, bonuses are bullshit!
Now how does this apply to cell phone companies? Because both industries are utterly built upon a trick. For cell phones, it is the $200, or $100, or free phone that you get at the beginning of your contract. The contract is critical but we'll get to that in a moment.
Have you ever looked up the price of your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy on Ebay or some other website that isn't affiliated with a carrier such as Verizon or AT&T? If you have, you'll have noticed that the iPhone that you get for $200 is selling for $700.
Where did that $500 go?
It went into the carrier subsidy. Basically, the carrier sells you the phone for $200. They are losing hundreds of dollars in this act. Their goal is to make their money back and then some over the course of your payments to them. And as you would expect from this arrangement, after the two years are up, they get far more than what they gave you on the phone. They rip you off.
That is why there are contracts. This guarantees the cell phone company your monthly payment for two years. This has become so popular that until T-Mobile began its Uncarrier initiative, you could not start service with AT&T or Verizon without a 2-year contract. They would only offer you their pre-paid phones which are crappy and have inferior plans. The only way to get all of the features of AT&T and Verizon was to sign your life away for two, goddamned years.
And what happens if you try to leave? Why they charge you huge amounts of money, of course! And there's nothing you can do about it because the devil's bargain that people made for cheap phones reduced the markets to only a few major players. They use this monopoly to squeeze profits from people while providing terrible service and customer support.
Online casino bonuses are basically the same thing. Long ago, users made a devil's bargain for bonuses. This handed an immense amount of power over to affiliates and locks users to a specific casino for a period of time and money. The terms are shorter than for your average cell phone contract, but the end result is the same: the casino gets all your munneez.
And just as with a cell phone, the casino is getting far more than they otherwise would. Most bonuses are locked to rollover requirements, meaning that you have to gamble a certain amount before you can take any money out, and these rollover requirements are usually tied to specific games. You usually cannot play blackjack or craps, because the RTP on those is too high.
Oh no. They won't have that! You must only play certain slots, meaning that in the end, the casino actually gets more from you then they otherwise would.
How is that possible, you may ask. Remember, when you spend money, you aren't just spending money, you are spending the opportunity to spend that money on other things. This is called the ooportunity cost in Econ-101 parlance. Basically, if I spend $5 on a move ticket, I also spending the sandwich that I could have bought on that movie ticket.
If you are forced to only play low-RTP slot machines, you are not only spending your money, you are spending the opportunity to play high-RTP games and are thus spending the opportunity to win at those games. The casino gets your money and gets it at a lower risk than they otherwise would if you were able to play high-RTP games. Just as with the cell phone companies, you are getting ripped off.
As I mentioned, the contract is a very important part of this comparison. Go read the legal agreement that you sign when getting your cell phone through AT&T or Verizon. It is a gazillion pages long and loaded with enough legalese to make the Supreme Court shit bricks. These contracts were humorously parodied in the South Park episode, "Human CentiPad."
These contracts are used to screw you like there is no tomorrow. Not only does the cell phone company get may more than they otherwise would in the end, if you step out of line, they are used as a legal cudgel to charge you huge fees.
Every now and then, these fees are comical enough to make news, but as some people have pointed out, with these contracts, the cell phone companies are under no legal obligation to cut the bills. The only thing that forces them to do so is the fact that charging someone $200,000 in cell phone charges would result in enough bad PR to destroy a company.
But for every person who gets charged $50,000, imagine the number who are overcharged by only a few hundred, or maybe a few thousand. The amount of hidden injustice is undoubtedly alarming.
Now, is this sounding familiar at all? Is this sounding a lot like, oh, I dunno'... terms & conditions?
That's because this is precisely like terms & conditions. It is the same, goddamned thing. The only reason why cell phone companies step out of line less often is because they are larger, more visible, and have much more to lose if people turn against their brand.
Online casinos, if their brand gets destroyed, they simply re-brand their casino, send new links out to all of their affiliates, and start anew! This is why the reality of the online casino industry is obscured by the illusion of competition. There is no competition. There are only a few major companies, producing poor products for an undiscerning market.
Also unlike the cell phone companies, online casino companies have the benefit of being seen as somewhat seedy. This means that they can, and always do, rely on the time-tested strategy of smearing their accuser. That is why we have clauses about robots, pattern betting, and cheating in casino T&C's. These are nothing more than tools for a greedy casino to smear their victim.
If cell phone companies could, they would do the same thing. But they can't, so they don't.
I make this comparison because cell phone companies are an excellent example of online casino greed and evil writ large. Cell phone companies are horrible creations and regularly make it to the top of Consumerist's Worst Company in America list. But in those companies, which are forced by exposure and legal fights to be somewhat upstanding, we have lessons that we can apply to the online casino industry.
We need to force major casinos into the light. We need governments to finally set aside their greed for taxes and regulate online casinos in the best ways they can. Current casino regulations are nothing more than a money-grab by corrupt politicians who want to avoid raising taxes on their rich buddies. We need to vote with our dollars and stop having twenty accounts and twenty shitty little casinos. We need to focus on those who uphold the highest ideals of good business.
We had one in Galewind, but they're now down. Who knows if or when they will reappear. So we're left with the other ugly children from which to choose. Good god, it's an ugly lot, but some of them stand out a bit, and we need to reward that. It is imperative that we reward that. If we don't, the next Galewind will simply appear then disappear, drowned out by corruption and noise.

טונה סטארקיסט באריזת 99 קלוריות
If and when I eat canned tuna I normally go for the tuna in water so the Starkist Mini Tuna in Olive Oil with Lemon that I tasted was new to me. I really enjoyed it. I liked the touch of lemon and I thought the olive oil added a nice flavor as well.
Part of Starkist's intention with this product is to help people who are looking for easy convenient ways to stay on their food plan or diet. Each tin is a 99 calorie portion. I thought the amount of tuna in the tin was the perfect portion size for me.

There are many people who think that preparation of GMAT is possible only through classroom programs. And then there are people who are confident that they can prepare well on their own but only if they know in which direction to move. If you are also confused whether preparing through GMAT videos (Quant and Verbal) will be beneficial for you or not, then here lies a list of benefits through which you can decide how effective online courses are for you:
- The increase in the level of flexibility: With more than 60 hours a week at work, giving time to family and fulfilling other obligations, there is almost no space left on the plate to add the classroom program to prepare for GMAT into it. No energy is left to attend the class after fulfilling every responsibility. Online courses save you from these complexities. You can start a lecture whenever you have the free time, irrespective of the place. Imagine yourself attending a lecture sitting in the cafeteria or in the warmth of your home. Sounds funny? But that is what makes video lectures interesting. You can learn according to your comfort.
- The approach is targeted: In an online class, the technology streamlines your weakness and strengths, giving you ample time to strengthen your weaknesses and increase your strengths.
- Cost Effective: There are many classes and lectures available on the internet, free of cost. For example, you can find ample video lectures on GMAT on the official website of BYJU's without paying a single penny. At a reasonable price, you can purchase the whole course which is an app-based course for GMAT, offered by BYJU's classes.
- The environment just like that of GMAT: If you are confused that how can the environment of an online class be similar to the environment of GMAT test, then we should not forget that GMAT is a computer-based exam. If from the very first day of the preparation for GMAT, you are used to reading passages on screen, writing points in scratch papers, underlining keywords and not flipping between pages, these things will not trouble you on the D-day.
- Save the Mother Nature: Sounds weird? We know while preparing, nature does not come on your priority list. But by attending online classes, you won't be adding any more carbon footprint, no hefty books, no traveling to reach the class, means no pollution. All you need is an internet connection and a smartphone or a system to study.
