Candidates willing to pursue engineering studies are often faced with the dilemma regarding which engineering college they should enrol in. Additionally, there are numerous private and government run engineering colleges, in India. Here again, the question arises, regarding which would be a better option, a private engineering college or a government one. Thus, the dilemma of the students only increases, when it comes to selecting a suitable engineering college. One of the methods by which you can resolve these dilemmas would be, by checking out the reviews and rankings of various engineering colleges, provided by online youth forums. If you consult and evaluate the rankings provided by a youth forum, maintained by a renowned newspaper, you can be assured of the authenticity of the information. You can get specific information about the government engineering colleges, in educational hubs like Pune, Bangalore and New Delhi, from such online youth forums. Nevertheless, some of the essential features and the subsequent advantages of government engineering colleges have been discussed below.
- Eligibility criteria
Government engineering colleges have specific eligibility criteria that candidates must meet, in order to get admission. For each department of an engineering college, there are a definite number of seats. The college administration and faculty will select candidates, for each department based on their respective performance, in the state level engineering entrance tests. In order to be selected by a government engineering colleges in Bangalore, you will have to achieve high scores in the state level engineering examinations, the Common Entrance Test, held by the Karnataka Examinations Authority. If you want to enrol for a post-graduate course in engineering, then you will have to achieve high scores in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), held by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) or the Post Graduate CET (PGCET). Here too your rank will decide, your chances of getting admitted in an engineering college, for post-graduation, in Bangalore.
- Seats reservation
Usually, in government engineering colleges in India, there are seats reserved for scheduled caste, tribe and other backward caste candidates. If you are looking for government, engineering institutions in Bangalore then check the number of seats in the individual departments of the institutes. The total number of seats available often depends upon the infrastructural facilities available in the college. Sometimes colleges also have seats reserved for candidates under sports quota, differently abled and other such categories. So visit the college website and check out the number of seats available, under various quotas to apply accordingly.
- Tuition fees
It has been observed that tuition fees for government engineering colleges are significantly lower than that of private colleges. The primary reason behind this is that government colleges usually receive financial support, from the Universities Grants Commission (UGC),. Additionally, many government colleges provide scholarship facilities, which deserving candidates can avail of. You can apply for the specific scholarships provided, by the colleges individually, as well as, for the ones given by the respective university. Thus, in spite of being a technical field, you can extensively reduce your tuition fees, by qualifying for the scholarships provided by the engineering college or the university.
Enrolling in a good government-run engineering college is not only a matter of pride but also one that will reduce your educational expenses extensively. Most government engineering colleges also provide hostel facilities, for candidates hailing from other states of India. Hence, if you are looking forward to enrolling in an engineering institute in Bangalore, it is advisable that you choose a government engineering college, but only after you have checked out its ranking and facilities provided, from a well acknowledged online youth forum.

Ciattarelli runs for NJ Governor 2017
Updated 28 Oct 2016
Jack Ciattarelli, NJ Assemblyman (R-16 Somerset) and Assistant Republican Whip says he will announce next month his candidacy for governor of New Jersey in 2017.
Gas Tax
Now that the gas tax increase is a certainty, Ciattarelli is in favor of a constitutional amendment to dedicate the funds to the Transportation Trust Fund.  That will lead to more state borrowing. Details here.  Ciatterelli is in favor of borrow and spend.
Teacher Pension System
Ciattarelli describes a pension obligation of $5 billion per year under the current plan. Ciattarelli recommends that 25% of the pension load for current teachers be transferred to the towns. The townships would require to assume 100% of cost of pensions for teachers hired from now on.  In the alternative, he recommends that new teachers get a defined contribution plan, rather than a defined benefit plan. The logic is that towns which pay teachers more should bear the cost of their pensions. He also recommends that retirees with higher pensions have reduced medical benefits. They should bear part of their medical costs.
Ciattarelli describes an expectation that many teachers will have more years of retirement than years of service.
Estate Tax
Ciattarelli is opposed to the estate tax.
Ciattarelli points out that it is easy to avoid the estate tax by moving for six months and one day to Florida. Forcing rich retirees to move out of state makes no sense, he says.
People leaving New Jersey
Ciattarelli says NJ leads the nation in out-migration. Schools are great, he says, but taxes are too high. New Jersey is not retirement friendly. I agree.
Ciattarelli says 580 school districts is too many. Of those school districts, some are almost fully funded by local real estate taxes. Others are mostly funded by federal and state aid. The Abbot decision, he says, leads to perverse incentives that cost the state dearly.
Minimum Wage
Ciattarelli is in favor of an increase of the minimum wage. He is opposed to an inflation-adjusted minimum wage. He is reticent to support mandatory sick and family leave.
Business Development
Ciattarelli says that high taxes are the reason businesses are leaving and failing to develop in NJ. Taxes need to be reduced, he says, especially the corporate income tax. NJ competes with other states and countries for corporate headquarters.
Property Taxes
Ciattarelli understands that schooling is the primary driver of real estate taxes. The majority of school boards are funded by local property tax. Ten percent are funded by state and federal sources as a result of the Abbot decision (now SDA).
North Jersey Casinos
Ciattarelli believes that North Jersey casinos are inevitable. He believes that the North Jersey casinos reward current unsuccessful Atlantic City operators. He believes that 100% of casino taxes should be delivered to the host community. In Jersey City, casino taxes would supplant state aid to schools in Jersey City.
Is Ciattarelli serious?
Ciattarelli offers up a relatively conventional Republican plan which he says would lift all boats. His understanding of financial matters is strong and clearly articulated.  His challenge is name recognition. Guadagno's name is on every NJ government document and signs all over the state. Whether Ciattarelli can distinguish himself from her remains to be seen.

The government has launched a comprehensive review of the UK rail industry, with reforms planned to be implemented in 2020. The plan is being dubbed across the railways as The Williams Review. The Department of Transport is promising the "most significant" review "since privatisation" and will be chaired by former British Airways boss, Keith Williams, and supported by an external panel of experts.
The Williams ReviewThe Williams Review will see the independent panel working alongside passenger representatives, businesses and devolved bodies to advance Chris Grayling's vision of "bringing track and trains closer together" – meaning that private operators will be able to shape and invest in rail infrastructure in the future. They will also be looking at other parts of the sector, including:
- Current industry structures;
- Accountability;
- Value for money;
- The fares system;
- Industrial relations;
- Current siloed working;
- Changing travel and work patterns.
"It's time for bold reform of Britain's railways"Undeniably, progress is already being seen. The Digital Railway is helping companies throughout the rail industry acknowledge the role technology is – and should be – playing in rail safety, infrastructure maintenance and passenger satisfaction. What's more, infrastructure projects such as HS2, Crossrail and indeed, Northern Powerhouse Rail further highlight the work being done to ensure connectivity and capacity is unlocked for the entire country. However, as the welcomed Williams Review will reveal, many challenges still remain and enabling the rail industry to have a serious and frank discussion on what is truly needed to improve the railways and ensure sustainability for generations to come, will enable the rail industry to facilitate a renewed environment of transparency, to guarantee that passengers know exactly where investment is being made, and how it will benefit them. As the Rail Delivery Group states in their response to today's announcement:
"Change doesn't worry us. Working together, we've been improving the railways for almost 25 years."

Daily fresh from our outlets
Wholemeal wheat loaf (600 g)
Made with pure Lurgashall stone ground wholemeal flour, this is the most nourishing of our breads. Lovely eaten fresh with butter and jam but unbeatable as toast when a day or two old.
White wheat loaf (600 g)
Made with pure unbleached organic wheat flour, this is a very tasty white bread. Great for sandwiches and toast.
Brown wheat loaf (600 g)
Half Wholemeal and half Biobake, some would say this is the best of both worlds: all the flavour of wholemeal with all the bread quality of white.
Seeded loaf (600 g)
In essence this is a brown loaf covered in seeds (linseed, poppy seed, sunflower seed and sesame seed) before baking giving it a roasted seed flavour on top of the brown bread qualities.
Wholemeal spelt loaf (600 g)
Our signature loaf, made with organic spelt flour, this is a simple flavoursome bread. Those who are wheat intolerant find this a more easily digestible bread.
Wholemeal sour dough loaf (600 g)
Made using our home developed yeast culture. The only ingredients are wholemeal stoneground lurgashall mill flour, water and salt. Is rapidly becoming a very popular choice.
Rolls (50 or 100 g)
We offer a wide range of pre-baked or ready made rolls. Tried and tested are plain white, poppy knot rolls, sesame buns, plain brown, plain wholemeal, brown sunflower seed and brown oat flake but the possibilities are endless. Particularly suitable for catering, Sunday brunch, lunch boxes and unexpected guests.

Who doesn't love Zebra's? They are fascinating to look at – one of those animals that shout the glory of the Lord with their beautiful and unique stripes. It still amazes me that no 2 zebras are alike.
We had a lot of fun with this iconic animal. We talked about how God made us each unique, a very important topic around here. We also talked about not being able to hide from God, like the zebra stands out, so do we in His eyes. This of course led to some great conversations about telling the truth and living our lives like an open book, never trying to hide anything. This MFW unit led to some really great topics and a presented us with a fun way to talk about them as a family. Here are some of our zebra projects that helped make this unit unforgettable:
And last, our zebra head project. I have to tell you that this was a total spur of the moment idea and I wasn't sure that it would work, but it turned out to be my favorite art project we have ever done! It cost NOTHING because I had everything on hand and Caleb LOVED putting it together. His room is an animal theme, so you can guess how excited he was about this one! It is now proudly hanging on his wall.
Here is how we did it:
What you need: newspaper, a piece of sturdy cardboard, cream masking tape, black masking tape, a sharpie, something for eyes we used buttons and then googly eyes on top, and a hot glue gun
Step by Step:
1. Form your zebra head with newspaper and then just wrap it with tape. I am going to do my best to describe what I did, because it was a spur of the moment thing I didn't take pictures of this stage (oops, sorry).
- I balled up three sheets of newspaper for the main head part and formed a ball shape- and then taped it.
- Next I balled up two more pieces and stuck them side by side sticking out from the ball for the snout wrapped those and then taped them to the main head ball.
- Last I balled up 2 more pieces and put one on each side of the top of the head to form the eye/top of the head area and just taped those balls into the head. That is how I got my form- nine loosely balled up newspaper balls taped with masking tape. I left the back open so I could tape it flat onto the cardboard at the end.
2. Add ears by folding masking tape over onto itself and cut into an ear shape- i.e. a triangle. Then color it red or pink in the center and tape them onto the head.
3. Draw a nose with a sharpie and color it in.
4. Create your mane by folding some of the black tape onto itself and cutting slits down the top of the folded tape. Then tape it to the top and you have a mane.
5. Tear your black masking tape into small rough looking peices and stripe away! This was the most fun part because Caleb did it all himself and got really into where each stripe would go. I did pull out a book I had with a picture of a zebra in it for him to look at so he could see how the stripes go up the snout.
6. Glue on your eyes
7. Cut out the shape of your backer board out of cardboard and decorate as you wish. Then just tape your head to the front and you are done!
Seriously this turned out so cute it could hang anywhere in my house. You can't even tell it is masking tape until you are really close!

Modeling of mass transfer and fluid flow in perfusion bioreactors
Yan, Xin
Degree LevelMasters
MetadataShow full item record
Tissue engineering is an emerging field with the aim to produce artificial organs and tissues for transplant treatments. Cultivating cells on scaffolds by means of bioreactors is a critical step to forming the organ or tissue substitutes prior to transplantation. Among various bioreactors, the perfusion bioreactor is known for its enhanced convection through the cell-scaffold constructs. The enhanced convection will significantly increase the mass transport and at the same time, will increase the shear stress acting on the cells and scaffolds. To manipulate the scaffold-based cell culture process, knowledge of the mass transport and fluid flow (featured by flow velocity and shear stress) in bioreactors is required. Due to the complicated microstructure and multiphase flow involved in this process, the development of models for capturing the aforementioned knowledge has proven to be a challenging task. In this research, the mass transport and fluid flow in scaffolds cultivated in perfusion bioreactors was studied using numerical methods. In the first stream of this research, a novel mathematical model was developed to represent the nutrient transport and cell growth within three-dimensional scaffolds. Based on the developed model, the effect of such factors as the scaffold porosity, the culture time, and the flow rate were investigated. In the second stream, the flow field within the scaffold was studied with an emphasis on representing the shear stress distribution over the scaffold surface. The commercial computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS-CFX was used to simulate and represent the effect of factors, such as the diameter of the scaffold strand, the horizontal span between two strands, and the flow rate, on the shear stress distribution. Results showed that the nutrient concentration and cell volume fraction are time dependent and sensitive to the porosity and flow rate. The diameters of the strands, the horizontal span and the flow rate affect the magnitude of the shear stress. The knowledge obtained in this study provides new insight into the scaffold-based cell culture process in perfusion bioreactors and allows for potential optimization of the cell culture process by regulating the process parameters as well as the scaffold structure during its fabrication.

Just leaps & Bounds
By Johnny Appleseed on Thursday, May 23, 2019So I optioned first a 2019 Ram Bighorn,8.5 inch nav loaded screen,Level II package,4x4,3:92 axle ELocker,6ft bed.Got pricing from 5 Ram dealerships.Went to 3 Ford dealership's and all of them never beat the price of the Ram 1500.And these were either ordered or on lots F-150 XLT trim with upgraded to 5.0L V-8 I did not want the V-6 TT turbo engine option to much money with 10 speed.Chevy's trucks interior was even close in terms of comfort and center-stack just look old schooled.Both the Ford and the Chevy were more money or with in 900.0 dallors of the Ram 1500 but the styling and interior was just way better than the Ford F-150,and the Silverado...GM was not discounting hardly at all so the dealers were bring the price down on there side..Ford F-150's interior was well just cheap looking with the small screen and hardly had no center storage because the shifter was there,not like the Ram 1500 had. The Ram 1500 center console is just way better design by a mile...Test drove all 3 and the Ram with the coil spring rode the best hands down and was far quieter inside while driving in city traffic during rush hour..My previous truck was a 2014 Ford F-150.I was a brand loyal kinda guy but after all the trips to these dealerships it became evident the Ram 1500 was the easy choice with my hard earn dallor..

A true luxury truck. Rivals even the Germans
By NeoPhoto on Thursday, January 23, 2020The Limited is genuinely one of the nicest vehicles money can buy today. The interiors are simply gorgeous on the Longhorn and Limited. 12" screen has been perfect, Air ride has been flawless, and the Harmon Kardon stereo bumps! Of course everyone will post a review when they have issues, but not too many leave a review when they are happy with a vehicle. Keep that in mind when you're questioning the build quality problems of other reviewers. MPG is terrible if im honest, averaging around 13-14 50/50 mixed. But then again, its a BIG truck. The self park is awesome, adaptive cruise is a must have. Highly recommended

Hearn: Fury vs. Wallin has sold 1500 tickets
By Chris Williams: Tyson Fury vs. Otto Wallin haven't produced many ticket sales according to Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn for this Saturday's fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hearn says the Fury-Wallin fight has sold around 1500 tickets, and that "no one is going to watch it." Hearn believes that Fury's promoters at Top Rank have made a mistake in putting him in another poor fight.
This is Fury's second fight with the American promotional company. In Fury's previous fight, he was matched against a dreadful opponent in Tom Schwarz, who he knocked out in 2 rounds last June. Instead of upgrading Fury's opponent, Top Rank has matched him against another poor heavyweight in Wallin (20-0, 13 KO), and the fans aren't interested, says Hearn.
Hearn: Fury vs. Wallin = exhibition level fight
"I saw it as an exhibition, because the fights so bad," said Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn to Fighthype about the Fury vs. Wallin fight. "Top Rank and ESPN have got to be throwing up. They've sold like 1500 tickets for Saturday night. No one is going to be watching. All the momentum Fury had off the back of the [Deontay] Wilder fight. Where's it gone? We're trying to build towards a monster second fight.
To take two poor fights like that and waste your year, good luck to Tyson Fury. He's being given fights he can't lose, but isn't that boring? You've got a fight taking place this Saturday, and no one is even mentioning it. He's supposed to be the best heavyweight in the world. Anthony Joshua just lost, and he can sneeze on a camera, and the world's watching. It's crazy," said Hearn.
Hearn says he sees Fury-Wallin fight as essentially an "exhibition" level fight due it being such a mismatch. While Hearn likes Wallin, he sees him as having no chance of beating Fury (28-0-1 20 KO) on Saturday. Hearn says the fans aren't falling for it, and that only 1,500 tickets have been sold. However, Hearn says if Joshua were fighting Wallin, the fight would sell over 20,000 tickets. Hearn thinks it's a mistake on Top Rank's part to put him in with two mediocre heavyweights back to back.
Hearn says fans not talking about Fury-Wallin
"Your profile in boxing can dip very quickly," said Hearn to Behind the Gloves in talking about Fury. "So if you look at where Fury was last year after the Deontay Wilder fight to where he is now, he doesn't care, by the way. He's making a load of money to fight fights he can't lose. But Bob Arum, Top Rank and ESPN should be carrying, because they're spending a lot of money on fights that don't drive subscriptions, and ticket sales. And that's their job just like it's my job. So when I do a fight that doesn't work, Bob gives me a lot of stick. So I'm going to do just the same.
This fight [Fury vs. Wallin] is a shambles. You've got what some believe is the best heavyweight in the world [Tyson Fury], who some call the lineal champion of the world, selling 1500 tickets in Las Vegas in a fight no one is even talking about. Liken that Anthony Joshua, who if he was fighting Otto Wallin, there would be 20,000 people over there, and everyone would be talking about it. But guess what? Joshua doesn't take fights like that.
Hearn is wrong. Fans are talking about Fury-Wallin. The problem is, they're not saying good things about it, and there's not a lot of buzz. You get that when fights are considered a mismatch, and that's what we have here with Fury vs. Wallin.
All of the poses. 🤷♂#FuryWallin | SATURDAY | @ESPN+ pic.twitter.com/3ckzaBBTNN
— Top Rank Boxing (@trboxing) September 11, 2019
Fury fighting weak opponents bad for boxing says Hearn
"I wish people would give Joshua credit, because he consistently fought top 15 heavyweight guys, top 10 guys, and fought his mandatory's," said Hearn. "He's had fights against Klitschko, [Carlos] Takam, Joseph Parker, [Alexander] Povetkin, Ruiz, Ruiz, right? There's no easy ones. AJ is going to be now, 'everyone else is doing it. Maybe I should fight one of these guys like Tom Schwarz the next time out. Sometimes you can get away with one.
Getting away with two is greedy, and that's come back to bite him in the [backside], because it's not good for boxing. You see him in there. Tyson is such a great fighter, but it's almost like an exhibition. He comes in with his mask yesterday and a headband. They're bluffing the public, and the public is waking up, and they're not buying it. So until he gets in with Wilder, we'll see. I like Otto Wallin. He's a real nice guy, but he can't beat Tyson Fury nor can Tom Schwarz. Why would you want to watch a fight like that?" said Hearn.
It's not a good thing that Fury has stopped fighting quality opposition since his 12 round draw against Deontay Wilder. Hearn thinks Fury has ruined the popularity that he got from his fight with Wilder by taking soft opponents. The 12th round knockdown Fury suffered at the hands of Wilder may have caused him to lose interest in fighting high caliber opposition. Who could blame Fury for having drive to fight the best. When a fighter suffers a knockout like Fury did in the 12th, it hurts their confidence.
Fury's profile is diminishing – no one is watching says Hearn
"He can try it," said Hearn when told that Fury recently said he can beat Oleksandr Usyk with one hand tied behind his back. "We'll let him use two hands. We don't need him to have one tied up. He can have both hands, and can fight Oleksandr Usyk. Listen, Fury is a brilliant fighter. This isn't a criticism of Fury as a fighter or as a person or personality. He doesn't care because he's getting paid, but his profile is diminishing consistently. No one is watching.
This whole thing, 'He's fighting on ESPN. It's going to be massive.' He's watching on an app that no one is watching, because no one even knows the fight is happening. They're not exactly building Fury vs. Wilder 2. At least with Wilder, he's fighting Luis Ortiz. That's a dangerous fight. Fury on the other hand is getting paid a lot of money to fight fights that nobody wants to see," said Hearn.
We'll find out soon if Fury's profile has diminished or not when the ratings are released for his fight with Wallin on ESPN+. It's not the type of fight that will bring in a lot of new subscriptions. It's the wrong opponent for that date. If Fury was going to take Canelo's September 14th date, he should have at least pressed Top Rank to put him in with a good opponent.
Fury moved his fight from October to September 14 when Canelo chose not to fight on that date
"What people don't know is I wasn't supposed to box this weekend," said Fury. "I was supposed to box in early October to mid-October, and when we heard Canelo Alvarez wasn't going to be fighting on the Mexican Independence Day weekend, I though, damn, what a shock. This has been a special weekend for many events every year in boxing. So I thought the Mexican people aren't going to have an attraction, and main event. And, so I need to step in. So I brought my fight date four weeks closer. So the Mexican people could have a massive superstar fighter box on this weekend," said Fury.
The Fury-Wallin undercard fights may prove to be far more entertaining for boxing fans than the main event. Top Rank has a couple of good fights involving these fighters:
- Emanuel Navarrete vs. Juan Miguel Elorde
- Jose Pedraza vs. Jose Zepeda
Pedraza-Zepeda is an excellent fight, and one that should be competitive. Navarrete is likely going to destroy Elorde. However, Navarrete is easily the most exciting fighter on this Saturday's Top Rank Boxing card.
Arum chimes in on Fury moving his fight date
"He's telling the truth," said Top Rank Promoter Arum. "Really, he's supposed to fight on October 5. He calls up, and says, 'Look, the date's open. I'm half Mexican. I want to fight on that date.' That's the truth," said Arum.

An auto call went out today at 6pm to all parents with 12th grade students regarding this information. If you did not receive the call, please contact the school to update your contact information.
Currently, we have many seniors who have not yet opted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to college for FREE! The signing deadline was May 1, however the Detroit Regional Chamber is still allowing our students to sign up. Don't let this opportunity slip away!
The release form can be signed online at DetroitPromise.com (you be be automatically re-routed to: http://www.detroitchamber.com/econdev/education-and-talent/detroit-promise/).
Under the heading "Signing Release Forms", they will use the link that reads **Two-year Students: CLICK HERE!**, then follow the prompts.
For all Detroit Promise inquiries, please send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com; or call 313.964.4000 or 313.596.0324. Eagles, let's go to COLLEGE!!
5 Things to Know to Score a Detroit Promise College Scholarship
When was it created?
The Detroit Promise grew out of an effort in 2013 by the Michigan Education Excellence Foundation and the Detroit Regional Chamber, which helped raise funds for the Detroit Scholarship Fund. In March 2016 the program was expanded to allow all Detroit students who graduate from any high school in the city — public, charter or private — a guaranteed two tuition-free years of community college. The program was expanded for a second time in late November to cover four years of education for students with good grades.
What exactly is the Detroit Promise and how can it be used?
The Detroit Promise is a last-dollar funding mechanism to provide eligible students money to cover the costs of tuition and fees. This means that any federal Pell Grant or TIP — Tuition Incentive Program — funding will always be applied to a student's bill first. At two-year colleges, the Detroit Promise will be billed for any remaining balance up to the full cost of tuition and fees. At four-year schools, any balance after Pell/TIP funds are applied will be covered using institutional aid and a contribution from the Michigan Education Excellence Foundation through the Detroit Promise. According to officials, Detroit Promise funding is not competitive and every student who registers and meets the requirements will receive funding if their respective college determines there's a need. Funding cannot be applied to out-of-state schools.
How can students qualify for free tuition at community colleges?
Students must be Detroit residents and attend any public, charter, alternative or private high school within city limits for at least their junior and senior years and graduate on schedule (typically June of current school year). Students who receive a high school diploma or GED will qualify. Students must also complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by June 30 of this year and register for the Detroit Promise by June 30. There is no grade point average or standard testing requirement. Henry Ford College, Macomb Community College, Oakland Community College, Schoolcraft College and Wayne County Community College District are participating schools, according to the Regional Chamber.
How can students qualify for free tuition at four-year universities or colleges?
While some of the requirements that apply to the program's community college requirements, there are a few additional rules for students to qualify for the four-year scholarship. Students are required to attend all four years of high school in Detroit, obtain a high school diploma, have a minimum 3.0 grade point average as of Feb. 1 of their senior year and a minimum 21 ACT or 1060 SAT score. According to the Regional Chamber, only counselors or college advisers can determine a student's eligibility requirements for four-year tuition assistance.
Can the four-year scholarships be used at any Michigan university?
The state's universities have been split into two categories: unlimited partners who have no limit to scholarships for Detroit students and limited partners who have a limited amount of scholarships reserved for Promise students.
For more information about the program, call 313-596-0478 or visit detroitchamber.com.
Quarter 4 Progress Reports will be distrbuted to students upon dismissal. Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled from 1pm-4pm.
March 2020

Okay, but not great detective fiction
|Richard Belzer
Belzer's acid wit comes to the fore throughout his personal investigation into the disappearance of a Ukranian-born friend. Belzer's multiple police contacts due to the TV show (ride-alongs, police advisors to make the language and procedures more realistic) and a simple assumption that he can figure out how to investigate crime in real life since he's done it so long on TV.
At times it's interesting, at times it gets repetitive, especially with multiple passages similar to this one: "...when I get determined, it takes an act of Congress to dissuade me. Well, those are usually pretty watered down by the time they get out of committee and have all the pork attached to them. Maybe I should change that to an executive order. Unless it came from someone with the last name Bush." (p. 198) Cute enough, but put one on every fifth page and you begin to wonder if the book was being padded for some reason.
Throw in some repetitive phrasings such as "It hit me like a punch in the liver" (p. 197) and "Buteyko's comment...came back to me like an elbow to the kidneys" (p. 211) and "I felt like I'd bumped up against a live outlet" (p. 178) and I began to tire of the whole thing.
Interestingly, there are no reviews of the actual book on the book. Instead, on the back of the book there are reviews of Belzer's stand-up routine from Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Chevy Chase, Robert De Niro, Richard Pryor and John Belushi. In my mind, that says something about the quality of the book as a whole. The reviews play to Belzer's strength - his history as a comic but ignore the book completely. It may be harsh, but to be honest, the premise of the book (TV actor who plays a cop really investigates a crime) and the fact that it was written by a celebrity carried the book. If this were written by a no-name author about a fictional actor investigating crimes on his own time I don't know if I would have finished it.
I rate this book 2 stars out of 5.
This book can be found on Amazon.com here: I Am Not a Cop!.

Just wanted to say that I read your interview on RPG Codex, and saw that you're also publishing a book later this year. Then I checked out Goodreads and discovered that you've spent time in Buenos Aires and Spain, and I see on your blog that you made a NWN mod. You remind me of me. ;)

(I was a fairly big modder for NWN1, worked with Bioware & Obsidian on the Premium Mods/NWN2: Mysteries of Westgate & am currently lead designer for Ossian Studios. Oh, and my wife's from Buenos Aires - she studied at UIA. I love the city.).

So of these last 20 posts how many were actually related to the topic, or as stated in rule 4 "constructively adding to the conversation"?
...as the fleet of Voghus was standing idly in the perimeter of the station, a small group of ships appeared out of the metaphorical "nowhere" outside it´s proximity, from there they moved further towards the station and eventually stopped a few thousand metres from the fleet. From that point they sent a transmission...
/Transmission Start/
"Greetings Voghus, we are a detachment from the Keeper Descendants political and inquisitorial branch, we would like to talk with you in person."
/Transmission End/
The fleet outside the station seem to have their weapons deactivated, with only shields active, very strong ones from what you notice.
You receive a transmission back.
Transmission Start.
Leader Livon: "Greetings, I have heard about the Keeper Descendants, you are welcome to enter my station, guards inside will guide you to my office, to talk in-person, with my personal advicer/protector at my side."
He talks in a kind and calm matter.
Transmission Ends.
...the ships head towards the station and the middle one commences docking procedures the other two stand idly near it...
A few minutes later a tall woman with pointed ears came out of the ship, she was roughly about 2.1 metres tall and wore black robes with white and golden ornaments, occasionaly pieces of armor peeking through the robes, a black pentagon on the front of the chestplate and on the cape behind her, while this in itself was relatively odd but not out of the ordinary, the ones passing by and looking in her eyes got a somewhat unsettling feeling, her irises were completely black and their center looked deeper than they actually should...
She was accompanied by another tall humanoid, this one in fact seemed to be human or at least something closely related to it, while he had a similar attire to the woman, his was white with black and and golden ornaments and more armorplates peeked out than on the womans clothing, instead of the black pentagon a white cross were on his cape and chestplate, he had a grumpy look on his face and his irises were completely white making for an equally as unsettling look as the woman, all in all they looked like some weird mix of crusaders and cultists...
Like this they made their way into the station, the man watching everyone that passed close by the lady, observing their movements...
In the station, it was generally calm, there wasn't much to do, but they were standing by, prepared for an attack, at any moment. It seemed, thanks to Zaa's sudden dissapearence, they had not much to do, besides making allies, looking for other factions to help, no threat is too big.
Every person they came across, had some guilt, but a lot of bravery in their heart. It seems they are all willingly here, ready to face the worst of the worst. Even if they end up being cannon fodders.
Eventually, several guards approuch them, and began to lead them to the upper levels. They are quiet, but took the most fast way up.
Eventually, you reach a door, wich is opened when approuched by a guard, and in the room, a man sits, with a woman by his side. The man seems to be Leader Livon, with quite neat clothes. He wears some sort of suit/uniform, with badges attached. His clothes are colored black, with some darker gold stripes on his sholder.
The woman, has more simple clothes. She seems to have a big grey cloak, covering her whole body. She had a tattoo visable for a moment on her hand, wich seems to be an infinity sign, with the number 3 in the middle, wich is quickly covered by gloves she has put on.
Captain Livon: "Welcome, strangers. Make yoruself comfertable."
He extends his arm towards some seats, and a table with a variaty of drinks, and cookies. He sounds kind and gentle, and through his eyes you saw he was mostly harmless, a kind man who wishes nothing but the best for all.
The woman stands silently by his side, in her, you sensed someone who is always on her guard, always suspicious about everyone, very much the opposite of Livon, perhaps that is what makes her the ideal guard, and advisor.
While the woman sat down her companion stayed where he was, keeping an eye on his surroundings...
"So you are Voghus?" ...the woman asked calmly, as one of her eybrows lifted.
"Tell me about your organization."

The US president Barack Obama insists on carrying out detailed audit of the American arsenal of nuclear arms, newspaper The New York Times writes on September, 8th.Results of this work will allow to define, as far as possible to reduce their stocks within the limits of the new contract which is planned to sign with Russia.
Last time defensive department of the USA carried out similar audit in 2001. Military men have come to conclusion, that the American army will enough have from 1700 to 2200 nuclear warheads ready to application. This indicator suited also administration of then US president George Bush. Now Moscow and Washington are full determination to reduce the nuclear arsenals even more, that is one of the diplomatic purposes of the American president.
Nevertheless, as underlines The New York Times, the detailed analysis of a condition of the American nuclear arsenal in this situation is critical for the USA. He will allow to define a minimum quantity of necessary arms, and also to answer other questions.

What started it all for you?
My journey into foster care has been a long one coming. It started in my childhood home watching my mom raise my sister who had no biological connection to her. As a child I would secretly hope that someone would leave a baby on my doorstep, I was intrigued and inspired by stories of people in third world countries opening their homes to orphans, collecting them from boxes on the streets and raising them as their own. In our home our door was always open, friends were always over and holidays were a mix of blood and non-blood "family."
Early December 2013, what I assumed would be a pretty typical week. Sunday, we had a guest speaker at church, she was talking to us about foster care on behalf of a local ministry. Monday, I pass by a billboard asking me to become a foster parent. Tuesday a radio ad about becoming a foster parent. Wednesday meet someone new, they happened to be a foster parent. Thursday meet another set of foster parents. Friday, finish the week out nicely with an article in the paper about foster care and the great need in our community.
I also could not escape the song "Oceans," it was my own personal soundtrack. The line that haunted me was "...lead me where my trust is without borders…take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, where my faith can be made stronger." When I notice a common theme I slow down and pay attention.
I noticed the theme but what I was supposed to do with it? There was something there and I just couldn't shake it. The following week while having coffee with my friend, Keeva, I briefly mentioned the fact the foster care kept coming up. She shared with me that she had a friend who had stepped into the life of a single foster mom a few years before, she fanned the flame that was flickering in my soul.
Feeling inspired, that night I went home and began to research the foster care laws for my state and discovered, I was a great candidate. I decide to press in, not being able to shake the feeling that I could do something. I went to an informational meeting and the next thing I knew I was enrolled in classes and well on my way to a license. Could I do this? I was more than qualified, the things I assumed disqualified me, did not. The things I viewed as inadequacies were not in fact not shortcomings but realities, things I only needed to work around. I was beginning to realize that I did in fact have the tools I needed, singleness being one of them.
Obviously the ideal goal is reunification with the family. How do you keep that in mind while also investing in the kids? How do you approach that, knowing it really may not be in the best interest of the child to return home?
I have done this well at times and not well at times, I have lots of thoughts about this one. As foster parents it can be easy to feel superior or better than birth parents, that is the easiest way to be miserable. Reality is we are blessed that we have found other coping skills besides addiction or abuse. I must love whole heartedly but with an open hand, the juggle of that is so hard and comes with practice. You will have moments where you see how painful loving these little ones is and the ultimate challenge is realizing in order to truly love your kids you must also love their parents, you can not separate the two. There will be moments where you question is it worth it? I came across this quote early on in my journey, "I am not afraid to grieve. I am afraid of what would happen to these children if no one took the risk to love them." This journey is not about us, it is about them. We will be uncomfortable, we will grieve, our hearts will break, they must, this system as a whole exists because of brokenness. Foster care and adoption is the redemption work and that reality is messy. You will spend your days seeking Jesus to find the peace allowing you to say, "it is well." Any moment you invest in a child, is no small or wasted thing.
What was the response from family and friends?
I have had people that knew me before I was mom, who journeyed through the beginning stages. I have people who now pour into my family, not knowing us before. I had people that celebrated and supported what I was doing. While others questioned if being a single mom was the best option for these kids. I had people who made comments about how I would "never find a husband." I had friends who grieved the good old days when I was single. I found people who I shared the vision early on with, they circled me and walked with me. As time went on I shared a little more and more people walked with me, while some stopped. Now I share our story to the world, now I find people who are like minded and understand the journey of foster care. I have people approach me out of the blue who feel the tug of foster care. I have surrounded my crew, with a community who pours in.
How long did the licensing process take?
Each state is different, my state was 10 weeks of classes (3 hours a week; total of 30 hours) and then I got my license about 6 weeks after completing my classes. Getting your actual license depends on a lot of factors (paperwork, background checks, etc), it can take up to 3 months to get your actual license.
Were you initially foster to adopt or just as time went on?
I was actually foster care only until the second to last class, I felt I needed to be adopt as well. Changing it during the classes was as easy as checking a box, changing it post classes was a bit more of a hassle I suggest just doing both even if you aren't ready to adopt right away. The greatest mistake I made, was not believing I was the best parent for my children, I still struggled with being single and forcing that on them. It almost caused me not to adopt them. Be confident that if God is calling you there, He will keep showing up and supporting you, even into adoption.
Do you work or stay at home?
The foster care monthly stipend allowed me to step back from a full time job to about 30 hours a week. Allowing me to be the one who drops off and picks up at school, the mom who is home on weekends and day offs. I have had to learn the balance or work and home. Choosing to put my work hat on and focus on that during those hours. Striving to steward my time well when I am home with my crew.
How did/do you navigate being a young, single, foster/adoptive mom?
I viewed singleness as a negative attribute as a foster mom, I was wrong. Actually it became a strength, some kids do better in homes without a mom or dad depending on the abuse they endured. My kids did better not having a male in our home at first, giving them a chance to heal, bond and grow. I said earlier that we have surrounded ourselves with a large community who pour into us. Men and women, who come into our home and just love on my crew. My friends are awesome and will come to me after my crew is in bed. I am an extrovert, so the change of being locked in my home at 7pm every night was a huge adjustment. I just changed my social calendar and brought it into my home.
How do you decide whether to say yes or no to a placement?
There are so many factors that go into this. Know your "family" know what you can and can't handle. I have 2 dogs and I chose to never take someone who had a history of pet abuse. When you get a call for placement you are also given a list of known behaviors, don't let that be a huge turn off. Consider it and how it will affect your home, but don't let the fear of it sway your decision. My children had a large list of behaviors, many of them I never have seen but there have been others behaviors that were a surprise. I also pray about each open bed in my home and I set really firm boundaries about what I am willing to take. This last November, I said no to 13 calls that were not right ages or fits, then one month later I got the call I had been praying for, and I got my baby boy.
Any other questions out there?

Best Telescopes For Beginners
According to a long research finally we find the most effective telescope for newbies
After five months investing looking at the celebrities while checking ten telescopes. We assume that the Celestron NexStar 5SE is the best telescopes for beginners. It provides adequate power as well as an efficient quantity of collected light that enables you to see deep-sky items. Its GPS data source is pre loaded with near 40,000 holy things. Which implies that this choice will immediately check the skies once it's adjusted.
If you've ever before aimed to use up astronomy however surrendered from stress. Or obtained overloaded before you've also begun, you're not the only one. Just like lots of leisure activities, obtaining off on the appropriate begin is necessary. It also could make the distinction in between passing passion or a prospective long-lasting interest.
Beginning with Binoculars
The very first item of guidance you'll obtain if you ask an astronomer what telescope to get is this: Wait merely a 2nd. Glasses need understanding, persistence, and also a significant financial investment, so you do not intend to be successful of on your own. Preferably, obtain a set of field glasses initially.
An excellent set of field glasses will undoubtedly allow you see a whole lot greater than you could anticipate. Consisting of Jupiter and also its moons or even distant locations like the Orion Nebula and too far-off galaxies. For a suitable telescope field glasses substantially less costly. Yet you could utilize them for an additional leisure activity like birding, or various other outside showing off tasks.
Your First Telescope
If you're ready for some significant stargazing, then you ought to recognize some telescopes will undoubtedly obtain you off to a much faster begin compared to others. As well as some basic points to bear in mind when purchasing one.
The closest you'll locate to an agreement choice for the very best cost-effective telescope is the Astronomers without Borders One Sky 130. A reflector telescope with a 5-inch aperture that sets you back merely $200. Skies & Telescope discovered it to be. "The most effective bang-for-the-buck novice's range" as well as one that "procures all the big-picture things right," while Space.com stated. "It's the most effective telescope worth we have seen at any cost." It comfortably collapses to a compact dimension and also rests on a table as opposed to a tripod, if the area is limited.
Our additionally fantastic choice, the Sky-Watcher Traditional Dobson Ian Telescope, does not use as much mobility. However, it does supply a great picture high quality. With an 8-inch mirror that's bigger compared to our leading choice's as well as aids to disclose items that are both further away as well as dimmer. It's perfect for those that have a devoted area in or outside the residence as continually could be a job.
That this is for
These telescopes are for starting astronomers as well as developed to help you come to be accustomed to the evening skies. Utilizing among these ranges, you could begin with a check out the moon, proceed to the earth of our planetary system. Below that endeavor on the "deep skies" to analyze galaxy, galaxies, and also galaxies. We intended to discover ranges that had the ideal array to begin a brand-new astronomer out then maintain them included.
We invested over 20 hours searching the Internet for each source blogged about acquiring your first telescope. Leterthat, we visited telescope workshops, observatories, as well as sellers to talk to the professionals.
When taking into consideration which telescopes to examination, we talked about a selection of functions, consisting of aperture and also focal size. We likewise took a look at the style as well as the dimension of the eyepiece as well as finder extent, as well as the kind and also adaptability of the size. To check out these attributes carefully, please see our complete overview of telescopes.
At some point, we picked ten telescopes to evaluate during five months in Oregon. We timed how much time is required to establish each telescope. Then assessed security, quality, and also user-friendliness with a 12-person examination team. We likewise did a Ranchi eyepiece examination, at the recommendation of the specialists we talked with, to check each design's optical top quality.
Can Next-Gen Staffing Agencies Close The Skills Gap?
According we surveyed with greater than 260 nightskyscopes.com viewers, we could establish exactly how most would undoubtedly utilize their telescope. Where they would undoubtedly use it, and also precisely what prices assumptions they had. Our choices could make use of in either remote or metropolitan locations.
We spoke with professionals as well as based our screening requirements on the high quality of aperture, zoom, and also of the lenses. We acquainted ourselves with not just the performance of various sorts of telescopes yet installs.
We checked the telescopes in Portland, Oregon– where the brightest worlds (Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and also Venus) could conveniently watch. We timed arrangement, a procedure which we evaluated significantly in our assessments, as well as we likewise examined install security. Our 12-person panel chipped in on the simplicity of usage, illumination, and also photo quality of each telescope.
Although we did not choose the one set of field glasses that we examined for this overview. We've discussed much more alternatives in a different field glasses overview for those thinking about observing birds, nature, as well as the outdoors.
Our choice: Celestron NexStar 5SE
While lots of items for newbies additionally offer to assist reveal them the ropes of whatever it is they're diving right into. We selected the Celestron NexStar 5SE as our leading choice because it does a great deal of benefit the customer when it involves learning more about astronomy.
It's a Schmidt-Cass grain telescope that uses mirrors and also lenses. Even its critical 5-inch mirror adds to its remarkable light-gathering capacities which display low area items. You'll have the ability to swiftly find things such as the rings of Saturn as well as the cloud bands of Jupiter.
This telescope features a 25mm eyepiece. It has an electronic os that has a portable controller which overviews it. The Celestron NexStar 5SE is straightened and also readied to concentrate on particular items with the controller (which executed flawlessly throughout screening). It is mostly because of the responsiveness of its monitoring as well as its mini modifications.
The Celestron NexStar 5SE becomes part of a collection that includes a 4SE, 6SE, 8SE, and so forth. The varieties of these versions show the aperture dimension (in inches) of its main optical device. Besides being the size dimension of the telescope's lens or mirror, aperture accompanies the quantity of light that could be allow. This light adds to photo intensity. The 5SE does exceptionally well as well as supplies superb photo high quality for a telescope of its dimension. However, if you're seeking to watch a little bit much more, we advise updating to the 6SE.
Spending plan choice
Locating a top quality telescope on a spending plan could be hard, so when we maintained becoming aware of the Astronomers without Borders One Sky Reflector Telescope. Which is available in at under $200, we needed to offer it a shot. This telescope is created mostly up for sale by the not-for-profit company Astronomers without Borders. Whose revenues approach increasing high clinical, instructional shows in undeserved nations all over the world.
Throughout our examinations, this version not just mastered picture high quality, offering bird's-eye views of Saturn's rings. Jupiter's moons, as well as pale information in the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy yet likewise supplied the most effective mix of trans-portability. As well as simplicity of setting up and also utilized for its cost.
The One Sky includes both a 10mm eyepiece as well as a 25mm eyepiece for an array of seeing magnifying. For the rate, this starter telescope has a vibrant collection that could obtain you checking out whatever from the moon to some deep-sky things.
Additionally fantastic
The Sky-Watcher Traditional Dobson Ian Telescope (8-inch) is an additional outstanding selection. The upgrade offers in light-gathering ability, nevertheless, has the caution that alongside our Astronomers. Without Borders spending plan choice, this Sky-Watcher Dobson Ian design is considerably bigger, considering concerning 60 extra pounds consisting of the extent and also base. We had this telescope wholly constructed and also prepared to enter under a hr. Which, compared to a few other glasses we checked, is relatively rapid.
The Sky-Watcher Dobson Ian does not have any digital part, yet we believe the excellent optics of this choice make it an excellent selection for individuals that desire a preference of a high-powered range. However, do not require or want the trouble of a digital place. This sort of telescope, typically called a "light container," provides remarkable photo high quality and also the light-gathering capacity for the rate.
Considering the moon with Celestron's 25mm eyepiece (shot on an Apple iPhone) EVE O'Neill
In contrast to rivals, the Celestron NexStar 5SE is a superb option if mobility is a high top priority. It just considers 15 extra pounds, so it's not likely that you'll face concerns delivering it in a trunk. Establishing it up on the place is likewise very easy. It's retractable as well as has straightforward, easy to use guidelines that aid to finish the configuration promptly.
Its mix of efficiency, mobility, as well as the price, is precisely what won us over. Although you could do without referencing celebrity graphs as well as doing the last research study due to the innovation that this choice supplies. We did not check out change as a function that can be a drawback for a novice. Eventually, it aids to quicken the knowing procedure for those that are merely starting.
Rather than the telescope itself, its GPS filters are develop right into its place. Then the inputting information (such as time, day, local city) about precisely what you would indeed such as to observe. You'll exit with a data source of 40,000 nighttime items which will indeed be readily offered to watch. You could opt to check out things via the telescope in its collection placement or advise it to locate brand-new ones.
You'll require 8 AA batteries to power the Celestron NexStar 5SE's place. They drain pipes rather promptly. However, you could anticipate obtaining 2 to 4 hours of usage. If you utilize this telescope in the house near a wall surface electrical outlet, think about acquiring an A/C adapter for even more power. An auto battery or a mobile 12 V DC power supply will enable you to obtain even more hours of usage when you're outdoors in a remote area.
We make a checklist of the most effective equipment and also gizmos for individuals that wish to conserve the moment. As well as the anxiety of identifying what to purchase. Our referrals are made via strenuous coverage, as well as screening by groups of expert reporters, researchers, and also scientists.

A Heartbeat That Resonates: Ghetto Priest's Favourite Albums
Yousif Nur
, November 29th, 2017 14:37
From The Jackson 5 and Nat King Cole to John Holt and Dennis Brown, this is the baker's dozen of albums that shaped Ghetto Priest
Nat King Cole - The Nat King Cole Story
In regards to vocals, I see Nat King Cole as my dad. There's no one like him as far as I'm concerned. This album I had first discovered while digging around in my father's record collections years back, which has since disappeared after moving homes. Anyway, the track of all tracks on this album that blew me away is none other than 'Nature Boy'.
How Eden Ahbez who wrote the song got it to Nat King Cole to sing live, before recording it, is a profound story and in an uncanny way suits me as a person. Apparently Ahbez was one of the very first hippies ever. When it comes to singing a song, for me there is none that can compare to the late great King Cole!
