"When it gets cold and it feels like the end theres no place to go you know I wont give in" -Avril Lavigne
This sucks in every possible way... I know that this seems trivial and silly.... but Cory Monteith's death seriously makes me sad... I know that i didnt even actually know him and all... but i knew him through his character. And while that character may not be him in real life, it does show how amazingly talented he is.
I am not ashamed to admit that i am a die-hard Gleek. I love everything about show business. And that show is included in that. Cory's character was actually my favorite. So the fact that he is just suddenly gone, means his character no longer exists either. So in a way, i have lost a friend. In a very weird way. My heart actually breaks for Lea as i sit here and listen to all the songs they sang together on the show.
The power of addictions seems to be so incredibly underestimated and misunderstood... people see it as something to hide, and be shameful of. Like it is something the affected have control over... well it isnt. I know this from personal experience. The only thing the affected has any control over, is the initial use. And the person is obviously in no state to be making rational choices. In Cory's case, he was 13. His parents had split, and while i cannot pretend to know what went through his mind when he picked up that first drug... i imagine he felt like most young kids, he felt at fault. He needed something to dull the pain. He was desperate. that is definitely something i can relate to...
Have you ever experienced something so painful you wished you could just disappear? Or you felt like you entire emotional being was imploding and you just wished there was a way you could turn it off? Well if you have, then you HAVE experienced the same feeling that leads to that first use of drugs. the only difference between you and an addict is that you did not have that drug readily given to you or near you when you were feeling that pain. You didn't have anything to put the idea that it would make the pain go away in your head. YOU were lucky.
So I would like each and every one of you to stop looking down on addicts. that person needs help. Not your disapproving glares or judgement. After all, you have been one decision away from being in the exact same shoes as that person.
If My Vagina Was a Gun
If my vagina was a gun, you would stand for its rights,
You would ride on buses and fight all the fights.
If my vagina was a gun, you would treat it with care,
You wouldn't spill all its secrets because, well, why go there.
If my vagina was a gun, you'd say what it holds is private
From cold dead hands we could pry, you surely would riot.
If my vagina was a gun, its rights would all be protected,
no matter the body count or the children affected.
If my vagina was a gun, I could bypass security,
concealed carry laws would ensure I'd have impunity.
If my vagina was a gun, I wouldn't have to beg you,
I could hunt this great land and do all the things men do.
But my vagina is not a gun, it is a mightier thing,
With a voice that rings true making lawmakers' ears ring.
Vaginas are not delicate, they are muscular and magic,
So stop messing with mine, with legislation that's tragic.
My vagina's here to demand from the source,
Listen to the voices of thousands or feel their full force.
Not sure who wrote this. But I definitely love it!
My name is Tiffani.

Comments on the value and significance of applying fuzzy theory to science and technology English translationAuthor(s): Mengqi Han
English translation is not merely the form conversion between English and other languages, but the active thinking of the translator. The process of translation actually is the process of textual information processing by the brain, so only when the translator knows the meaning of the paper needs translating thoroughly, can he translate the paper successfully. There must be understanding bias, at least, inaccuracy during translation given that English is different from the other languages in terms of structure and way of thinking, in this case, fuzzy thinking can be used stimulating the brain to code and process the textual information to avoid inaccurate translation. Actually, the key factors whether the translation version is logic or accurate are the translatorÂs understandings of the original paper and his way of description. According to the scientific research, human brain has two thinking ways, the precise way and the fuzzy way. Fuzzy thinking is Âboth the one and the other concept for recognition of substances. Fuzzy thinking ways decide the vagueness of language in that language is the expression of some certain thinking, so this paper studies translation of English for science and technology on the fuzzy theory with the fuzzy thinking ways of the brain and the vagueness of language expression.

Petition calls for reinstatement of Shoalhaven council's Sustainable Futures and Natural Resources and Floodplain Management Committee
More than 500 people have signed a petition urging Shoalhaven City Council to reinstate two disbanded committees tasked with sustainably managing the region's environment.
At the September 25 ordinary meeting, Councillor Mitchell Pakes moved an amended motion, which disbanded the Sustainable Futures Committee, Children's Services Reference Group and the Shoalhaven Natural Resources and Floodplain Management Committee.
Crs Joanna Gash, John Wells, Greg Watson, Patricia White, Mark Kitchener, Bob Proudfoot and Pakes carried the amended motion, which noted that the functions of the natural resources and floodplain management committee be absorbed into the strategy and assets committee. Crs Kaye Gartner, Amanda Findley, Nina Cheyne, Annette Alldrick and John Levett voted against.
Cr Gartner, who chaired the Sustainable Futures Committee, said it was an appalling decision to remove both committees focussed on protecting and sustainably developing the Shoalhaven's natural environment.
Disbanding both committees did not align with council's community strategic plan, she said.
"The Sustainable Futures Committee and the Natural Resource and Floodplain Management Committee were the two avenues where the community and cross-groupings of staff could come together and discuss issues arising in the community," Cr Gartner said.
"A major focus of the community strategic plan has no longer got any space in council other than just staff time, which we all know is highly limited and deals with a huge range of issues."
A concerned Mollymook resident, Judy Hamilton wrote to Fairfax Media last week. Ms Hamilton said she believed councillors had a duty of care to protect residents, business interests and the environment.
"The decision to disband the committees, reflects a failure of council's responsibilities to sustainably manage our environment, or the region they have been elected to represent," she said.
On Monday, Cr Gartner argued for the retention of the committees at the Ulladulla and Districts Community Forum. The Ulladulla forum voted 19 for, one against, to support a rescission motion, and reinstate each committee.
Huskisson Woollamia Community Voice, Hyams Beach Village Association and the Berry Forum have each voted to support the rescission motion over the past week, Cr Gartner said.
During the council meeting general manager Russ Pigg said council will lose "skills, knowledge and different perspectives" that those committees offer.

Here I am in the final days. I've paid my dues and now I'm officially a senior in college. How does that even happen? One moment you're eating cheerios and watching Barney, the next you're graduating. I've been back at school for two weeks today and it's been fantastic. This place truly has become home to me. Our freshman class is smaller than usual with a whopping number of sixty-five. It's always exciting to get to know new people and attempt to make them feel like family. I always try to remember how difficult it was for me my first semester. I so desperately wanted to have friends, it's not fun. No one should ever feel like that, especially not in the family of God. My new section is such a blessing. I was nervous about having a new group of girls, because last year all of them were wonderful. We got along so well and I simply just enjoyed who they were as people. Those aspects made is easy to show them love and to be their RA. However, God has ALWAYS put the right people in my life at the right time. This year I have eight unique ladies. They each have such fun personalities and are in different walks on their spiritual journeys. I'm looking forward to hopefully being an encouragement to them this year. Oh! And I got a job at Applebee's. That'll be exciting. It's nice because many students from my school work there, so I'll be able to car pull and such. My classes are all outrageously good, best out of all my semesters.
Here's the deal: there's a lot. There's a lot of homework, a lot of people I want to spend time with and plus getting a job. In fact, there's so much that I know I can't do it. I'm sure there will be times I want to crawl in a hole and sleep. However, my goal for this year to do give God my complete and total all. God needs to direct my path, my time and everything else. Already I've come to realize this requires a whole lot of prayer and extra time in the Word. I need Him, more than ever and if I rely on Him, He'll use me in way I never dreamed possible.
So that's my advice for today, give God your all. Don't get stressed or allow anything to hinder you from God's best. Christian colleges are normally good about reminding you of this, at least mine is, but it's easy to forget. God is the only thing that matters, so don't let anxiety be an idol in your life.

The death of a crew member on a 63-metre fishing trawler could have been prevented if established procedures regarding rope replacement and other safety measures were followed by the captain and bosun.
When a lifting bridle broke, as a rescue boat was lowered from a ferry, efforts to repair it were hampered by further problems with an emergency stop button on the winch.
A quick-release leash for her stand-up paddleboard might have saved a teenager's life after she got trapped under a moored yacht in a strong harbour current early last year.
Spotlights and better local detail on the chart plotter of his new boat may have prevented a recreational boatie from crashing into a cliff face at the edge of a central North Island lake, while returning from night fishing with his girlfriend.

Having lived and studied there I may be slightly biased, but I think San Diego really gives you the best of both worlds.
The beautiful beaches are exactly what you imagine when you think of southern California, but I also love the big city bustle of the Downtown Gas Lamp Quarter. Not to mention the city's proximity to Mexico - in 15 minutes you can drive (or walk if you wish) across the border.
Often the menus on board your cruise reflect the port you're docked in, so don't be afraid to try something different and ask the crew for tips, they're trained experts in their area so they know what they're talking about.
If you're feeling particularly adventurous then why not try the local delicacies when you're in port, and really immerse yourself in the destination!

Although it is never, ever an expectation to be asked to photograph a friends' wedding (I enjoy guesting as much as the next gal!), when it happens, I am beyond honoured.
I met Dylan when we worked together on what will forever be known as the dream team, and was introduced to Rachel shortly thereafter. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds with these two can attest to the fact that these two are in looooooveee. Like, really, really in love.
As for their wedding day, well, it was an easy assignment. The day was hot (but not humid), the Elora Mill was as beautiful (and meticulously-run) as ever. And the couple, oh the couple. Their love, their chemistry—they were beaming.
Congrats, once again, you two. And thank you for letting me to capture your love. xo

Just a queer web developer living in San Francisco. I spend my time eating 🍕🌯, traveling to far off places 📷, playing video/board games 🎮, emojis 💖 🧜🏼♂ and creating fun things with gifs.
I'm most passionate about projects that serve the underserved. That has manifested itself in working on community projects for queer youth, building healthcare.gov and decreasing the burden of applying for government benefits (medicare/medicaid/SNAP).
Full stack engineer on the community team, building the core glitch product.
Engineering lead at Nava, a public benefit corporation creating software that helps government create simple and accessible services for everyone. I was fortunate enough to lead a diverse team of talented engineers and designers building tools for government to better serve everyone. Primarily focused on services that improve the social safety net.
The first team I lead was focused on rebuilding the healthcare.gov application experience. You can read about some of the work here. I was responsible for the product roadmap, as well as leading the engineering team of 10 full stack and infrastructure engineers. We successfully shipped an entirely new experience built on React, Node and other modern technologies paying extra attention to the user experience.
The second team was focused on working with the State of Vermont as part of the Integrated Benefits effort. I worked directly with the CTO to change the way that Vermonters uploaded documents and ultimately applied for benefits in Vermont. The pilot phase of this project was launched in October 2018.
Was a Code for America fellow, working with the New York City Mayor's Office of Operations. Conducted research and built tools for social workers to better understand and help their clients. Launched open source projects like CityBook for cities to better organize their resources.
Founded a company building online social games and safe spaces for queer youth.

During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come.Mika Waltari

I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me.Hugh Laurie

Beyond the usual training you see POS software companies offer, here at Tower Systems we offer training deep into the business, looking at ways we can touch the business beyond what is usual or common for a small business POS software company.
Next week, we offer a workshop, 10 ways to save time and money using Retailer, for small business retailers using our software.
This free workshop will cover at least ten ways retail businesses can use our Retailer POS software to to save time in their businesses and reduce costs in their businesses.
This training will be based in years of experience across many retail channels. It will reference channel-specific opportunities as well as broader retail business opportunities.
The small business POS software training will offer action items that can be implemented in businesses without costs.
This free interactive and live workshop from us is another example of how we reach out beyond what is usual for POS software companies in what we do and how we do it. It reflects how we help our customers deep into their businesses, in ways that are measurably and appreciably beneficial.
We are grateful to our customers for their support of our free training workshops. It is their support that encourages us to run these week in week out and to go beyond the POS software and provide valuable broader business management training.
Our evolving POS software training workshop program can be seen online at our website on a publicly accessible page. We add sessions regularly, often showing for a month or two our what is coming top in training opportunities.
To participate in an online meeting all you need access to is a computer with a broadband internet connection and a phone to receive a call so you can hear the audio. Each session runs for approximately 45-60 minutes depending on questions.
Tower Systems expands training session topics based on customer feedback, offering new material tailored to needs that have been pitched to us. We love getting suggestions and working on new training content for our customers. Suggestions can be made through our software help desk team.

Apropos of my previous post on hope, I've been rereading some of SF author Spider Robinson's early works, and I noticed something I hadn't paid attention to when I read them years ago. Robinson doesn't shy away from the tragedies of life. His characters are often in pain, wounded in… Read more »

Wazo 17.10 released
Sprint Review 17.10¶
New features in this sprint¶
Plugins: The Wazo plugin system is still young and did not implement any compatibility restriction across Wazo versions. Newer plugins may become incompatible with older Wazo versions as they are released or older plugins may be incompatible with newer Wazo versions. We have added a restriction to forbid installing an incompatible plugin on your Wazo. Since there is no such restriction in Wazo 17.08 and 17.09, plugins installed on those versions may not work properly.
Plugins: Plugins are now shown in two sections: official plugins that are developed by the Wazo development team and community plugins that are written by the Wazo community.
Plugins: We also improved the search box for plugins, so that it is easier to find plugins that you don't already know about.
Ongoing features¶
Plugin management: There is still a lot to be done to the plugin management service. e.g. dependency, upgrade, HA, ...
Webhooks: We are adding a new way of interconnecting Wazo with other software: webhooks. Outgoing webhooks allow Wazo to notify other applications about events that happen on the telephony server, e.g. when a call arrives, when it is answered, hung up, when a new contact is added, etc. Incoming webhooks also allow Wazo to be notified of events happening on other applications, e.g. a new customer was added in your CRM, a new employee was added in your directory, etc. Unfortunately, there is no magic and the application in question must be able to send or receive webhooks so that Wazo can talk with it. See also this blog post (sorry, it's in French) about Wazo and webhooks.
The instructions for installing Wazo or upgrading Wazo are available in the documentation.
For more details about the aforementioned topics, please see the roadmap linked below.
See you at the next sprint review!
7 bugs were fixed, 6 features were added and 4 technical issues were resolved since Wazo 17.09. The complete list of features and fixes is available at http://projects.wazo.community/versions/262
As usual, upgrading your Wazo must be done by following this procedure: http://documentation.wazo.community/en/stable/upgrade/upgrade.html

The Inspiration for the First Annual Junior Shakespeare Festival
Some time ago I had the privilege of spending time in the Michigan prison system watching Curt Tofteland, Founder and Producing Director of the amazing "Shakespeare Behind Bars" program, work with inmates. The use of Shakespeare in their group interactions seemed to have a transformative impact on the men involved in the program and as they did scenes and monologues I was moved not only by their theatrical craft, but by the personal impact the words had on them. More than ever it reaffirmed for me the sheer power and continuing relevance of Shakespeare. Shakespeare's works still seem to encapsulate the human condition in a way that led Sir Ian McKellen to suggest, in a bit of excusable hyperbole, that he "seems to have invented us, really..."
These general observations led to us conceiving Shakespeare as a vehicle for education for young actors and was the impetus for our Hamlet Project. Hub Theatre Group was looking for another vehicle for young actors to be exposed to and experience Shakespeare. The Junior Shakespeare Festival is the vehicle we chose. In May of 2019, we will bring young actors (and their teachers) together to compete in the performance of pre-selected Shakepearean speeches and duet scenes. In addition to being able to perform and be adjudicated in those scenes and speeches, we will provide educational opportunities with experts for both young actors and their teachers. We therefore will have a Guest Artist on hand who will present during the event.
Distinguished Guest Artist
This year we are honored to have Patrick Midgley as our Guest Artist. He is a distinguished actor who has acted in over 50 Shakespearean productions playing over 150 roles with two national tours and six years of residencies at the American Shakespeare Center, the Ohio Shakespeare Festival, the Michigan Shakespeare Festival, the New York Shakespeare Exchange and many others. Patrick is a nationally recognized artist and was recently awarded the prestigious Travis Bogard Artist-In-Residence Fellowship from The Eugene O'Neill Foundation .

text: Roundup: All eyes on Florida News Service Of Florida 11/17/2018 Our State With flashbacks to the 2000 presidential election, Florida was again ground zero this week for a vote recount with national implications. But despite a host of lawsuits and controversies, by the weekend the state appeared to be closing in on decisions involving the election of a new Governor, a U.S. Senator and a state Agriculture Commissioner. In race to succeed Gov. Rick Scott, Republican Ron DeSantis solidified his Nov. 6 victory after a machine recount basically verified his nearly 34,000-vote lead over Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. But Gillum has yet to concede. The margin could be adjusted slightly after more overseas ballots are counted before the noon Sunday deadline for the official results. But the final tally is likely to represent the closest general-election victory in a Governor's race in the modern era. DeSantis' 0.41 percent winning margin was a veritable landslide compared to the 0.15 percent margin Republican Scott was holding over incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson as a manual recount began. And it was much more substantial than the 0.06 percent lead held by Democrat Nikki Fried over Matt Caldwell in the agriculture commissioner's race. The razor-thin margins and the continuing controversies over Florida's statewide elections may only be a prelude to what's on the horizon. Florida, the nation's largest swing state, will play a key role in the next presidential election, as Donald Trump seeks re-election to the office he holds in part thanks to a 1.2 percent victory margin in the Sunshine State two years ago. A flurry of lawsuits The vote recount resulted in at least eight legal challenges being filed in federal court, with U.S. District Judge Mark Walker of Tallahassee handling all of the cases. Here are key developments: — Siding with Nelson's campaign and national Democrats, Walker gave voters until 5 p.m. Saturday to fix ballots that were rejected because of mismatched signatures. His ruling came hours before a 3 p.m. Thursday deadline for a machine recount to be completed in the race between Nelson and Scott, whose 56,000-vote election-night lead had dwindled to fewer than 13,000 votes when the recount was ordered. The lawsuit focuses on part of Florida law that requires signatures on mail-in and provisional ballots to match signatures on file with elections offices. Voters whose ballots are delivered by 5 p.m. the day before an election have the opportunity to "cure" signature mismatches. But people whose mail-in ballots are received after that, or voters who cast provisional ballots on Election Day, do not. County canvassing boards make decisions about whether signatures match, and thus whether ballots should be counted. But counties don't have uniform regulations to govern the decisions, Democrats argued, making the process unconstitutional. The judge agreed. "The precise issue in this case is whether Florida's law that allows county election officials to reject vote-by-mail and provisional ballots for mismatched signatures — with no standards, an illusory process to cure, and no process to challenge the rejection — passes constitutional muster. The answer is simple. It does not," Walker wrote in a 34-page order. Walker called the opportunity to fix a ballot "the last chance a vote-by-mail voter has to save their vote from being rejected and not counted." "Florida law provides no opportunity for voters to challenge the determination of the canvassing board that their signatures do not match, and their votes do not count," he wrote. In contrast, the law allows voters or candidates to challenge signatures that were accepted, Walker noted. Walker's decision was upheld by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. — Saying he refuses to "fashion a remedy in the dark," Walker on Thursday turned down a request by Nelson's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to extend recount deadlines. Walker, who held a telephone hearing on the issue Thursday morning, focused his order on Palm Beach County, which was unable to meet the machine recount deadline because of antiquated equipment. The judge wrote that the recount deadline "arbitrarily and disparately treats some voters differently because of their location and without taking into account the unpredictable circumstances of each election cycle." But he said he would not issue the preliminary injunction sought by the Democrats because it was uncertain how long it might take Palm Beach County to finish recounting ballots. Walker wrote that "there is a complete dearth of evidence before this court concerning the status, progress, or expected completion of the ordered recounts in Palm Beach County." "This court must be able to craft a remedy with knowledge that it will not prove futile. It cannot do so on this record. This court does not and will not fashion a remedy in the dark," the judge wrote. — In two other rulings on Thursday, Walker shot down an attempt to keep Scott from interfering in the recount process and nixed another challenge focused on the way county canvassing boards decide which ballots should be tossed. The rulings, issued hours after Walker held hearings in a mash-up of cases, followed machine recounts in which Scott maintained a narrow lead over Nelson. In the days following the Nov. 6 election, Scott and his supporters repeatedly castigated elections chiefs in Broward and Palm Beach counties as ballots in the heavily Democratic regions continued to be tallied and Scott's advantage over Nelson shrank. Standing outside the Governor's Mansion two days after the election, Scott held a press conference accusing Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and her Palm Beach County counterpart, Susan Bucher, of ineptitude and fraud. The Governor also said he was asking the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate. His campaign Twitter account later urged Florida sheriffs to be on guard for election irregularities. Scott's comments prompted the League of Women Voters of Florida and Common Cause Florida to ask the federal court to remove the Republican Governor and U.S. Senate candidate from the elections process. One of Scott's lawyers told Walker the Governor intends to recuse himself from the state Elections Canvassing Commission, which is set to certify election results at 9 a.m. Tuesday. But during a Thursday hearing, Larry Robbins, a lawyer for the voting-rights groups, told Walker that Scott should also be stripped of his authority to remove members of county canvassing boards, comprised of elections supervisors, county commissioners and judges. By urging "the cops to go out and see what these unethical liberals are doing," Scott has showed a bias against Palm Beach, Broward and possibly other counties, Robbins argued. But, in a ruling later Thursday, Walker said there's a difference between "typical campaign-trail puffery" — which he called "increasingly bombastic, imprudent, and not necessarily rooted in objective facts" — and what a public official says and does in his official capacity. "Here, Scott has toed the line between imprudent campaign-trail rhetoric and problematic state action. But he has not crossed the line," Walker wrote. Scott, as a candidate, has the right to make speeches outside the mansion. But the Governor can't "undercut the count and mandatory recounts from his perch of public official," the judge wrote, noting that Scott's most "questionable conduct" occurred in his capacity as a candidate, not as Governor. In a separate lawsuit, Walker also refused to block state elections rules that outline the way ballots should be counted during manual recounts. Still a winner For the second time, DeSantis declared victory in the 2018 Florida Governor's race. The results of a state-ordered machine recount showed the former Republican congressman from Ponte Vedra Beach maintained a nearly 34,000-vote lead over his rival, according to the state Division of Elections. DeSantis, who is slated to become Governor on Jan. 8, only lost one vote from his lead in unofficial results that triggered the machine recount. Such recounts are required when margins between candidates are 0.5 percent or less. "Those returns remain clear and unambiguous, just as they were on election night, and at every point throughout this process," DeSantis said in a statement. "I remain humbled by your support and the great honor the people of Florida have shown me as I prepare to serve as your next Governor." However, Gillum, who conceded the race on election night but later retracted his concession as the vote margin narrowed, indicated he is not ready to give up on the race. "A vote denied is justice denied — the state of Florida must count every legally cast vote. As today's unofficial reports and recent court proceedings make clear, there are tens of thousands of votes that have yet to be counted," Gillum said in a statement. "It is not over until every legally casted vote is counted." But unlike races for the U.S. Senate and state agriculture commissioner, which are headed for statewide manual recounts because the victory margins were less than 0.25 percent, the major vote-counting in the Governor's race is over. County elections officials are scheduled to file their official returns to the state by noon on Sunday, with the state Elections Canvassing Commission meeting Tuesday morning to certify the results. Candidates have until Nov. 30 to challenge the election results. Story of the week Florida attracted the national spotlight amid recounts involving races for Governor, U.S. Senate, Agriculture Commissioner and several legislative contests. Quote of the week "We have been the laughingstock of the world in election after election. I get all that. … We're still going to go to a default where we don't count every vote," said U.S. District Judge Walker, expressing concern that state law does not have a provision to extend a vote recount in the case of voting machine problems.

Anne Arundel County and Howard County
For those moving to a new location, it's important to know what educational options are available. This chapter outlines the public schools systems in Anne Arundel and Howard counties, along with information about higher education and local libraries. There are private schools, charter schools and home schooling options available to children in both counties as well.
To be enrolled in a Maryland school, a child must be at least 5 years old by Sept. 1 of the school year. Those wishing to register their child in school should bring the following to the school office: a birth certificate or other proof of the child's age, proof of residency and custody/guardianship, the child's previous school records and immunizations records. Check with the school for additional requirements. Required immunizations for a child enrolling in kindergarten are as follows: four doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis; three doses of polio; two doses of measles, mumps and rubella; three doses of hepatitis B; and two doses of varicella. For more details on Maryland's minimum vaccine requirements for students in grades K-12, visit the Maryland Department of Education's website at www.marylandpublicschools.org.
In 2010, Maryland, along with 41 other states, the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Department of Defense Education Activity, adopted Common Core State Standards that provide a consistent set of educational expectations for students, regardless of ZIP code. When a family moves, a student's education is often disrupted because the student may be forced to repeat material or learn at a different level at the new school. With common standards across states, this disruption will be reduced — of particular interest to military families. At present, national Common Core State Standards exist only for English language arts and mathematics, with science and social studies in development, though Maryland has state standards across the full curriculum. For more information, visit www.corestandards.org.
Charter schools are public schools of choice that are tuition-free, serve all students and have open enrollment. For more information or a listing of charter schools in Maryland, visit the Maryland Alliance of Public Charter Schools' website at www.marylandcharterschools.org/charter/schools. There are two charter schools in Anne Arundel County; as of spring 2017, Howard County had no charter schools.
For an introduction to home schooling in Maryland, visit the Maryland Department of Education's website at www.marylandpublicschools.org/msde/divisions/studentschoolsvcs/student_services_alt/home_schooling. Here you will find information on home-school rules and regulations, testing information, home-school curriculum providers and more.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools supports home schooling in accordance with Code of Maryland Regulations. The Home Schooling Office's mission is to promote quality education for K-12 home-schooled students, and parents or legal guardians considering home schooling for their children should contact the Home School Program Coordinator.
Howard County Public Schools
10910 Clarksville Pike
Ellicott City, MD 21042
Howard County Public Schools supports home schooling as an alternative educational program by providing parents or legal guardians the information and support they need for a successful partnership between the home-schooler and the public school system.
To search for local private schools in Maryland, visit the National Center for Education Statistics website and use the private school search tool at www.nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch. Users may search by location, religious affiliation, school type and other categories. A Maryland Department of Education list of approved private schools is available at http://archives.marylandpublicschools.org/msde/nonpublicschools/npschools/index.html.
Choosing a School
Choosing the right school is very important, so be sure to research each one before deciding. Contact the school by phone or by visiting its website, which is a valuable source for school district statistics and curriculum. Talk to people in the area, especially friends and colleagues who already live there.
If the school shows promise, schedule a visit and bring a list of written questions about student-teacher ratios, computer availability, extracurricular activities, sports programs, music programs, gifted programs and grading standards.
Discuss the potential school with your child: what they like and what they didn't like. Your family's ability to readily adapt to a move and to find happiness in your new home may depend, in part, on how happy your children are in their new school.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools

The district includes 79 elementary schools, 19 middle schools, 12 high schools, three charter or contract schools, and a dozen other education centers, including two for applied technology, an infants and toddlers program, five evening high schools and an external diploma program for adults, and several options for special education. Seventeen of the region's schools have been named National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, and 21 have been honored as Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence.

The Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) is a recognized source of local pride and consistently ranks among the state's top school districts, based on the Maryland School Assessments student performance scores. Howard County students, for example, score above national averages on standardized tests, and more than 93 percent of graduates continue their education beyond high school. There are 76 schools in the district, including 41 elementary schools, 20 middle schools, 12 high schools plus the Applications and Research Lab high school for technology and careers, and two education centers. In September 2016, 55,638 students were enrolled in HCPSS.

Domestic tourism is the bread and butter of Philippines tourism industry as domestic travellers are ten times higher than foreign travellers to the country. According to Department of Tourism Assistant Secretary and Spokesman Ricky Alegre more than one half of the country's population or 60 million Filipinos visit local tourist destinations in the country every year. The information was exchanged with journalists from the PhilStar. Alegre explained that the bulk of Philippines main attractions are residents of major cities who would go for their favourite spots during summer time and long holidays.
"Favourite destinations of tourists from Metro Manila and neighbouring areas include beaches in Pagudpud windmills and San Dunes in Paoay in Ilocos Norte; Vigan in Ilocos Sur; Baguio, Sagada in Mountain Province; Subic, Zambales; Clark, Mount Pinatubo; the beaches in Batangas; Tagaytay City," he said.
Alegre said Pangasinan, La Union, Palawan, Boracay would also register a high number of local tourist arrivals every year. The information was collected by the DOT from bookings in hotels and resorts submitted to the department yearly.
Alegre expects a surge this year to some 70 million domestic travellers as new major expressways are opening to the public. The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) will help tourists reaching quicker their destination by land. "From Manila you can now reach Baguio in three to four hours," he said to the newspaper.
"The opening of new airport in Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya and other parts of the country will also help boosting arrivals", he added. The airport in Bagabag opened last month and tours have been designed to bring tourists to the famous Banaue Rice Terraces of Ifugao and the pictorial city of Sagada.
Alegre also said most local tourists schedule their travel in advance, availing themselves of various promotion offered by airlines or hotels. They would rent or use their own vehicles.

Why December is a great month for recruiting
Whilst December is well known for the month of Christmas parties and wind downs, for the recruitment world, it can present a valuable opportunity for agencies to maintain their drive.
Here's our five top tips on making the most of December, so you are all fired up for the New Year.
Take Advantage of Less Competition
Whilst many will be going from party to party and perhaps having less of a focus in December, agencies that maintain their focus, and pick the deals that can materialize, including plenty of seasonal opportunities will certainly overtake rivals still rubbing their sore heads.
Quieter competition will mean more visibility on job boards; less busy schedules to actually reach decision makers and providing you know everybody's availability, a quicker conclusion with a very notable deadline in place.
Jobs Are Still Being Searched
When economic conditions are far from settled, over the Christmas season especially, more people will undoubtedly feel the pressure to provide what they can no longer afford.
The savvy recruiter will use December to create a targeted call to seize those job searching, as it provides the window to talk and the perfect time to provide a tempting special offer.
Analyse Your Marketing
If you do find yourself in a quieter month, think about how you market your agency. In today's world of content marketing and the integral importance of mobile searches, is your website optimised? How is your SEO rankings? Are you taking advantage of social media?
Simple measures like starting a blog, or starting a twitter handle or LinkedIn profile can make all the difference for the future of your agency in a digital and mobile world, that is only going to increase in significance in the year to come.
Be Productive
Whilst the phone maybe quieter in the month of December, it's really important to use the time to contact existing recruits on your books and make sure they are still motivated, up to date with training, CVs refreshed and ready to go for 2016 right from the word go!
Be Reflective
Whilst December inevitably brings predictions for the New Year, it goes back to the old saying that "If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going."
Know how you have performed in the year gone by and make the necessary changes to set your goals and targets for 2016 so you have a benchmark to work against.
Get Your House In Order
And if you still have a spare minute, then December is a great month to have a pure tidy – not just of the office, but also of your database and your files. Who have been your best clients of the year (we hope you've said thank you) and who may need some encouragement?
By using December wisely, you can prepare for the influx of new candidates in the New Year now so you're not overwhelmed. If you could touch base with those that already know they'll be looking for a new role and arrange a second communication in the new year, you'll be starting on the front foot and securing a pipeline ahead of the competition, who are still in recovery mode!

Luxury treatments in the privacy of your Regents Street home.
Beauty with a mission. Now in Regents Street.
Our vision is to create a 21st century beauty salon: On-demand beauty services that are accessible and delivered by skilled, certified and insured therapists in homes, hotels and offices. The needs of the modern individual are changing, and we are adapting the delivery of our services to cater to the requirements of your busy schedule. More than that, we are providing a platform for beauty therapists to work on their own terms - choosing what treatments they do, when and where.
On-demand, at-home beauty is quite a new concept, but we've been working away at it for a few years now. We've worked hard to create a platform that connects skilled beauty therapists and busy customers successfully, and can't wait for you to try out LeSalon! Our Salonettes have the opportunity to continuously build and improve on their skills with our training and feedback sessions. We do love our fashion and beauty, too, which is why our collaborations with Alice Temperley, Nailberry, Sheerluxe, Sweaty Betty and more excite us so much! Jean-Michel and Natasha founded LeSalon with two key points in mind: empowering beauty therapists with full control over their careers and finances, and providing busy Londoners with easily accessible, high-quality beauty services. Thousands of happy, more beautiful Londoners can't be wrong, and that makes us very proud.
There's so much more to LeSalon than at-home pedicure treatments. Being an at-home beauty service, sometimes understanding how a treatment, like a pedicure or waxing, will work can be confusing - take a look at our help page to get all of your answers. The LeSalon social scene isn't one the miss - we host customer meet ups monthly. Join us for get-togethers like wine tastings or salsa classes - all with a free mani of course! When you next book an at-home pedicure, why not give another one of our indulgent services a go? You can always rest assured that every treatment with us is performed to a 5-star standard. Through years of experience in every aspect of our business, we've built the perfect service for all your beauty needs.
What are you waiting for? Get your pedicure in Regents Street today!
LeSalon in Regents Street exceeds expectations, every time.
She was super sweet, clean and on time. However I have to say I was super disappointed in the shellac nail colours. I am heading to a wedding and wanted a neutral light pink which most everyone always has. Maybe Le salon should have a standard selection of colours that every therapist always has so you know what to expect instead of blues greens sparkles and red. . Because I honestly was to the point I almost got a regular mani. I settled with a peach but don't live it and I feel it's a bit thick.thought I needed to share.
Lovely girl, great Shellac. Happy again.
The pedicure was really good. Anna is very experienced and that shows. However I don't think I got the extra foot massage I paid for. Anna massaged my feet for a little while which it felt more like the massage that is included with the pedicure. She definitely did not give me 15 minutes of foot massage.
Very friendly and professional. I love my nails. Thank you x
The nail lady was lovely! Treatment went super quickly which must have meant I was enjoying myself. The only thing I'd say was the colour selection was limited, amazing if you love bright colours, but i was hoping for a cute nude pink/brown. Otherwise it was perfect :)
The therapist was lovely and did an amazing job on my nails. Very happy with the results!
Alicia was so lovely! She did an amazing job and was super chill and fun - thank you!! ❤❤

Surely one of the most popular attractions in Rome is the very famous Piazza Navona. This square with Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, is one of the most famous symbols of Eternal city. "The reason"?: when you enter Piazza Navona, arriving from one of the fourth sides of the square, it is quite impossible not to be captured by art and culture you can breathe in. Here are some historical facts which highlight the importance of this magical place. The square was built on the antique Stadium of Domitian in 86 AD. Since the ancient Romans appreciated amusements and music, this square with its large dimensions, being able to accommodate about 33,000 spectators, was mainly used for festivals and sporting events. But Piazza Navona as we know today, started to take its shape more recently in 1600, when Pope Innocenzo X ordered to build the "Palazzo Pamphili" and the very beautiful church St. Agnese. It's impossible not to be attracted by the three wonderful fountains (made by Gregorio Zappalà and Antonio della Bitta). In the center of the square, you can see the famous Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini. But it doesn't stop here! It's impossible not to be enraptured by the beauty of the small streets surrounding the square. Before you know it, you are in front of the Pantheon, or in the characteristic square Campo dei Fiori. You can be easily carried away by its beauties, by monuments, by antique buildings, by churches belonging to this wonderful city which is Rome!

In the Heart of a Surfer
by Fayruz Abrahams
The ecstasy experienced by surfers is a simple manifestation of Majesty.
The euphoria of surfing is enabled by the ions created when waves break, when the surge and culmination reaches a climax and then falls in submission is the moment when energy is released and joy is experienced at a profound level.
For a surfer to surf – the dynamics are:
1) Witnessing the majesty: the absolute force and might of the wave; something that is by far greater than you, with a force beyond what is possible to 'manage'. The surfer can only be in awe of this Phenomenon.
2) In Awe, the surfer has to submit, because trying to overpower the wave is ludicrous! You have to submit to it.
3) This takes requires TRUST, not control. Trust enables courage; Submission enables Power!
4) Patience – the wave does not arrive when you are ready, it is synchronised to a larger rhythm and 'time-piece'. The surfer can only wait – and has to accept the divine scripting.
5) The surfer, lying in wait, has to read the ocean, its rhythm, its motion. Waves (culmination and climax) come in sets of three. On the horizon, the surfer sees the rising mounds and knows the approach is imminent. He prepares for his approach, cautiously but with great effort he paddles to meet the wave's crest and then launches to become one with it and get in sync with it. It is synchronised and in step with creation.
6) The surfer, suspended only by a 'plastic boat' – floating amidst the vast ocean. Nothing and no-one can shield him from the vast and majestic force of the ocean. Nothing separates him from the innumerable creatures and factors that could inflict harm, nothing except the Benevolence and Grace within which the surfer is enveloped. A surfer fundamentally connects with this – whether consciously or not, there is a deep knowing and a deep connection: which religious people may choose to call faith.
7) He does all this, suspended in a 'nothing-ness' and a vastness beyond his own comprehension, in order to be one-with the crest and climaxing of the rhythmic shifts of our primary element.
8 ) When he reaches the pinnacle of the activity, within the barrel of a wave, and is spat out with great force – he knows that he is a mere witness, not in control – and he has to submit, bow to the Totality of the Other.

Hello Fayruz. Thanks for your article . Poetry is our connection with nature. We need more of this. Ross.
Hi Fayruz. During our Cape Winter in August- a throng of the worlds best surfers will descend on Cape Town to catch and ride the "Biggest Waves" off Hout Bay – one of five such sites in the world. Having read your article I can only stand in awe of these surfers for what may appear on the surface as a show of conquest and bravado, must be be a celebration of faith within their bosom. This event will be on a day when the wind and rain pelts the Cape and most of us privately curse "the miserable weather'. I will make it my business to go out into the day, witness their artistry and render an ode to the howling winds and surging waves.
Thank you for your inspiration.

Behind many creative geniuses, there is often an invisible influencer—a patron—making it all happen. These people lend their resources and influence to help creative talents succeed, introducing them to opportunities they would not encounter otherwise. This is the Rule of the Patron, which states that before you reach an audience of many, you must first reach an audience of one. Every artist needs a patron. Without one, your success becomes exponentially more difficult; with one, it becomes not only possible but probable.

Who in your business should be responsible for your customer's experience? When I ask managers and owners this question, the standard response is, "We all are." That is true. Everyone in the company has a vital role to play in delivering a top-notch experience to each person who walks in the door, calls on the phone, or visits your website. But who is the experience cheerleader? Who is the chief architect for the totality of that experience? Just as how the definition of experience varies, so does the person responsible for leading the guest strategy.
Traverse City, MI, November 26, 2018 — Stationed in Traverse City, Michigan, 45 North Aviation is pleased to have recently added a new aircraft to their fleet!

LTL (less-than-truckload) Freight is used when shipments are 120 lb+ or for oversized equipment, which results in a truck with a large container delivering your order. Our freight carrier will contact you once your order makes it to the distribution center closest to the delivery address specified, and set up an appointment time for delivery.
Pet Pro Supply Co. Free LTL Freight Shipping - Curbside Delivery
Our standard Free Freight Shipping option for LTL deliveries is curbside, which is to a delivery to a Commercial Address and does not include a liftgate. If your order is to be shipped freight, you will have the option to specify whether the item will be delivered to a Residential, Limited Access, or Commercial address. If there is no option to select a shipping location, then this cost is already included in the price.
We strongly recommend adding the optional Liftgate for all deliveries to locations without a loading dock or forklift.
Freight Delivery Locations
This option specifies whether the delivery location is a Commercial, Residential, Residential Business, or a Limited Access address.
- Commercial - These addresses are those defined by our freight carriers and/or zoned by local municipalities as commercial sites. Typically these addresses are zoned as commercial real estate or are used exclusively for business. Most commercial sites have tractor-trailer access and a loading dock.
- Residential - If the address used a residence, select this option. This includes Apartment/Condo complexes and dormitories.
- Residential Business - Any business being operated from a home, apartment, or other dwelling where people live on the premises is considered to be a Residential Business.
- Limited Access - Locations where deliveries are restricted, limited, or very far from a distribution center. Examples Include:
- Place of Worship
- Restricted Areas - Secure Research Facilities, Military Bases/Installations, Correctional Facilities, Government Buildings
- Farms, Ranches, and Rural Areas
- Recreational Areas - Camps, Parks, Fairs, Carnivals, etc.
- Individual Storage Units
- Sites - Convention Centers, Construction Sites, Mines
- Schools and Universities
- Commercial establishments not open to the walk-in public during normal business hours
Freight Liftgate
A liftgate is a hydraulic lift that is attached to the back of a truck that can lower freight to ground level. Freight carriers prevent their drivers from assisting with the unloading of heavy equipment other than using a liftgate to ground level. We highly recommend any delivery address without a loading dock, select this option.
However, please know that for certain very long items, such as Kennels over 6' in length, a Liftgate will not be able to bring the entire order down to ground level. Please have the necessary manpower available to receive your items with limited delay to the driver.
