It would seem a glaring omission in a classic television series such as Dallas to include no role for a preacher
Sir, In the 1980s I gave some lectures on US history at the University of Algiers. One academics asked wryly why, if religion was very important in the American South, no minister of religion figured in Dallas. Having never seen the programme, I could offer no informed answer.
Perhaps the new, "mellower" series (report and leading article, June 9) will make up for this apparent omission.

As a data visualization tool for both Citizen Scientists and Project Scientists, the new statistic panel offers a chart which displays an attribute of the observation over time. Building on the Update Spot functionality, this new panel also acts like a data diary of your own observations.
We develop all the extensions in SPOTTERON with openess in mind, making it possible that other Citizen Science projects can adopt the feature if needed. By creating a meta system in the background, which enables the additon of numerical values to all input fields or buttons the apps, we can now visualize all kind of data directly in the CitSci Apps. For example, different growth phases of plants can have different values, starting low in spring, growing in summer and declining again in winter. This will generate a bell-like curve, visualizing the phenological development of the plant during the year.
The new statistic panels can already by viewed in the Crowdwater Citizen Science Apps for Android and iOS at www.crowdwater.ch.

Tartaric acid — Formally known as dihydroxybutanedioic acid
Tartaric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid that's found in a number of fruits and plants including bananas, grapes, citrus, and tamarinds. Its basic chemical formula is C4H6O6, and its structural formula is HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H.
The preferred IUPAC name for tartaric acid is 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid, and its CAS Number is 526-83-0. Other names for tartaric acid include racemic acid, threaric acid, paratartaric acid, and uvic acid.
The salt of tartaric acid, potassium bitartrate or cream of tartar, is a natural byproduct that's formed during the winemaking process. When blended with sodium bicarbonate, it is used as a leavening agent in the form of baking powder in food preparation. Tartaric acid has the E number E334 and is used as an antioxidant in the food industry. Due to its palatable sour taste, it is also used as a flavoring agent.
The first known production of tartaric acid was from the residues of winemaking around 800 A.D. In 1769, a more modern production process based on fermentation was developed by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. For more information or access to high-quality tartaric acid from a trusted specialty and chemical distributor, contact Brenntag North America.

Industries Where Tartaric Acid Is Widely Used
The food and beverage industry prizes tartaric acid as a well-known acidulant that has the ability to give food products a tart, sharp flavor. In addition, it acts as a preservative, plus it can promote the setting of gelatin. For these reasons, it is often a food grade additive in jellies with fruit flavors, many types of carbonated beverages, and tablets.
For bakeries and confectionery makers, tartaric acid is also a useful ingredient. For example, cream of tartar, which contains tartaric acid, is often used for preparing cake frostings, as well as in the production of several types of candies. When it is necessary to have a baked product rise without the use of yeast cultures, the tartaric acid found in baking powder is ideal because it gives off carbon dioxide gas when it reacts with the sodium bicarbonate found in baking soda. The result is a product that rises without any yeast flavor.
In the wine making industry, tartaric acid — along with possibly malic and citric acids — is largely to thank for bringing out the tartness of the grapes in a good wine. In addition, tartaric acid's uses go far beyond flavoring. In the fermentation process, the ingredient acts as a preservative by helping lower the pH so that certain bacteria that could otherwise cause a wine to spoil cannot grow.
In the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, tartaric acid has further applications. It is a popular additive used to improve the flavors of various oral medications that are produced in effervescent tablet form. The acid's derivative — tartar emetic — is employed as an expectorant in many cough syrups. In addition, the medical industry relies on tartaric acid when preparing solutions used to determine glucose — or blood sugar — levels. Plus, it is used in the production of Rochelle Salt — a known laxative.
Tartaric acid also serves as a key ingredient in several industrial applications, including the silvering of mirrors, the dying of textiles, the tanning of leather goods, and the production of lacquers, as well as the fabrication of blue ink used in blueprints. It is also prized among metals manufacturers for its ability to clean surfaces made of copper, iron, aluminum, and many related alloys.
Of all acidulants in solid form, tartaric acid is the one with the highest solubility in water. It is both a diprotic and dicarboxylic organic acid. It is typically white or colorless and crystalline in form. Tartaric acid is also one of the of the most widely present plant acids, and its presence as a byproduct of wine making was known all the way back to the ancient days of Greece and Rome.

Eimeria Granulosa
Hosts: Sheep, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.
Location: Unknown. Oocysts found in feces.
Geographic Distribution: North America, Europe (Germany).
Prevalence: This species is relatively uncommon in sheep. Christensen (1938a) found in in 10% of 100 sheep from Maryland and New York. Jacob (1943) found it in 1% of 100 sheep in Germany. Honess (1942) remarked that it was more frequent and numerous in bighorn sheep than in domestic sheep in Wyoming.
Morphology: This species has been described by Christensen (1938a). The oocysts are piriform or shaped like a stout, broad-shouldered urn, with the micropyle and micropylar cap at the broad end; small oocysts are often bluntly ellipsoidal. The oocysts are 22 to 35 by 17 to 25 u with a mean of 29.4 by 20.9 u. Their length-width ratio is 1.2 to 1.7 with a mean of 1.41. The micropyle is distinct, 3 to 5 u in diameter. The micropylar cap is prominent, 5 to 10 u wide and 1 to 2.5 u high with a mean of 7.5 by 1.7 u; it is shaped like a broad truncated cone with a flat or slightly convex top, and is easily dislodged. The oocyst wall is transparent, pale brownish-yellow to yellowish-brown, and composed of 2 layers, the outer one being transparent, pale yellow to yellowish-green, and half as thick as the inner, heavier layer. The oocyst wall is lined by a membrane. An oocyst polar granule and oocyst residuum are absent. The sporocysts are ovoid, with a sporocyst residuum.

It is still a demonstration prototype and under active development. The wheelchair is not for sale yet, It will be released in 2018.
We build the
electric wheelchairs of the
21st century!
Check out what we already can do!
The combination of the agility and comfort of two big wheels to drive around on flat ground and the robustness of tracks to overcome curbs and climb stairs is unique. The rubber tracks allow to smoothly go up- and downstairs in a safe manner. The transfers onto the stair and back to the floor are automated.
Safe stair climbing
The well established rubber tracks give a smooth and safe ride on the stairs. Thanks to the very wide base of the rigid tracks the chair is stable even on spiral stair cases. Transitioning on and off the stair is automated and accomplished by the push of a button.
Sleek and minimal
The user interface is kept minimal without reducing any functionality. The design is functional and allows for many adjustments in the seating position.
Compact and agile
The self-balancing technology enables rotating on spot and driving over curbs without getting stuck. The big wheels can go over obstacles without entanglement. It's compact size allows to fit trough all standard doors and maneuver easily indoors.
Driving mode
The self balancing electric wheelchair allows for agile maneuvering on spot and dynamic driving also over common obstacles like curbs. The user can either use the joystick or a shift in body weight to control the chair.
Stair mode
The rubber tracks allow to smoothly go up- and downstairs in a safe manner. The transfers onto the stair and back to the floor are automated.
Track mode
To overcome slippery surfaces (like snow, loose gravel), bigger obstacles or steep inclines the tracks can be lowered to the ground for increased traction.
Safe mode
This is the stationary mode. It is used to get on and off the Scewo chair, getting below a table and for standing still. It is also possible to drive forwards and backwards during this mode.
Just enjoy a higher view
Do you want to talk with your friends on eye-level? Or do you want to grab a Coke out of the shelf? Just uplift Scewo with the elevated mode to a higher level

Process Overview
PegaRULES Process Commander (PRPC) enables you develop and deliver business applications in a completely model-driven environment. This approach makes it easy to directly capture, assess, refine, and put into production process flows that precisely meet your business needs. At the core of these modeling capabilities is the flow rule. In it, you use an easy-to-use diagram editor that provides a set of modeling shapes, letting you graphically capture a business process and its components. The shapes contain PegaRULES Process Commander business rules that define automated routing logic, declarative and decision instructions, user work form and interface presentations, system and data source integration, and other process elements. When you first build the model, you gain detailed insight into the current process. As you research and analyze the model, you will likely discover tasks and processing nodes that are impeding efficiency and productivity. As your team experiments with a number of hypothetical configurations, you arrive at a process design that best meets your business goals and resources. These modifications may include redirecting work paths, adding or removing processing steps, or automating manual tasks. Because the process model is rule-based, you can automatically implement the new design in your production environment and refine as necessary. Going forward, you can make iterative updates to meet ever-changing business conditions and requirements.
What is a business process? | Key Features & Attributes | Terminology | Additional Information
What is a PegaRULES Process Commander business process?
A business process defines how a unit of work (a work item) moves until it is completed (resolved). In PegaRULES Process Commander, a business process corresponds to a flow rule, which is associated with a work item. A flow may define many optional detours, side trips, and branches reflecting decisions reached along the way. The path that one item follows through the flow depends on its own requirements, automatic decisions in rules, and on available resources. For example:
- One home insurance application that fails to meet the automatic credit approval rules may require special research, while others are handled automatically
- An arriving customer service call in Mary's territory may be routed to Tom, if Mary is unavailable
- A request that is in a foreign language may be routed to a manager who can decide who among his or her team is best qualified to handle the request.
Flows represent the fundamental business processes; they identify how work items are created, who works on them, in what sequence, what decisions and processing occur automatically, and how the items are resolved. Process Commander processes are represented by a flow within the Process Modeler or a Microsoft Visio diagram. It contains a network of task shapes such as Assignment, Decision, and Utilities, and connectors. These are associated with rules, parameters, or property values that precisely specify how the shapes and connectors act upon the work object. Collectively, the components define the process from the time a work object enters the flow until it is resolved. To modify the process you edit the flow diagram. You can use the flow rule to run the process and to test the results of your modifications.
Work items
A work item in a PegaRULES Process Commander flow is an electronic representation of a paper work form. When an item is created, the system generates a unique work item ID and enters basic information such as who created the item and when. As the work item (an insurance application, for instance) moves through the process, operators or automated procedures add information to it. This data is accumulated and stored on a system database for use in the current or subsequent assignments. Operators can enrich the item's information content by attaching text files, screen shot images, URLs or PDFs as the item moves through the process flow. PegaRULES Process Commander automatically keeps a history of the item's progress, identifying operators that have worked on the item and when, and what automated tasks were performed on it.
Flow example
This example below represents a purchase order request process. The employee enters purchase requests for office supplies or equipment. Operators collect information about the the employee and the items. Certain criteria must be met to continue processing. If not met, the request may be rejected. If accepted, the item is submitted to an operator in the accounting group, where it is routed with through the accounting process. When completed, the item returns to the purchase order process. Based on data in the work item, an automatic procedure routes it either to a manager for approval or it is rejected. When a request is approved or rejected, it is resolved and no further processing occurs.
When the processes starts, the system generates a unique work object ID for the new item. The following processes can occur:
- Users perform assignments, in Process Modeler, or in Visio, which reflect the need for research, analysis, decision making, and data entry. Before the item arrives at its assignment, the system performs automatic processes such as computing the goal time and destination time, identifies any skills required or requested for routing, and determines the individual operator or group of operators that is to receive the assignment. Rules within the assignment promote compliance with deadlines or raises the urgency value when processing does not meet these goals. When the operator's work is complete, the system saves the item to the database, and may send email notifications to other individuals within the organization. The work progresses to the next task in the flow.
- A process may comprise multiple flows. To keep the diagram easy to follow, this flow is represented by a Subprocess shape in Process Modeler, or a Flow shape in Visio , which contains its own flow rule and diagram. In this example, the request is processed in the accounting department before it returns to the purchase order process.
- Some tasks are performed automatically. For instance, decision logic to either route work to the manager or to reject it is represented by a Decision shape or . The Utility shape or uses a rule that automatically updates the work item's history with a message indicating that the item has been fully processed and ends at the End shape in Process Modeler or the FlowEnd shape in Visio.
Key Features & Attributes of a PRPC process
Flexible and adaptable rules built into each process help designers automatically adjust to new information and criteria, eliminating manual interventions and workarounds. Because you can understand how manual decisions have been executed and the conditions that apply to those decisions, you can add rules to your process flow that automate the decision-making process.
Application Designers can evolve the process in small iterative-based parts at the individual rule level. Java code is compiled and executed by the system at run-time, giving designers immediate feedback on the effects of their changes. New configurations can be tested in real-time, even on production systems without affecting other users or processes.
An intuitive graphical design tool provides insight to all members of the design team regardless of technical expertise. The tool helps your team conceptualize and consolidate complex multi-stream flows into one process. Because Process Commander modeling is rule-based, your design team can quickly convert high-level designs into fully functional business processes that can be analyzed, refined, and put into production with minimal IT support.
Using service connectors (such as SOAP, MQ, active file listening) you can connect your process to existing enterprise applications, and pass data between systems that can be parsed, extracted, and interpreted.
Rich work item information and automated tracking enable users and managers to dynamically monitor work and take corrective action based on events to make sure work is processed on time and is running optimally.
Important Terminology
Assignment — A point in the business process that requires human judgment and input. Flow processing of a work item normally pauses when it reaches an assignment shape until a user completes the assignment. The assignment normally appears on the worklist of the user who starts the flow.
Flow — A flow rule is the fundamental representation of a business process in Process Commander. The rule defines the sequence of processing that your application applies to work objects. It contains a network of shapes and connectors. They are associated with rules, parameters, or property values that precisely specify how the shapes and connectors act upon the work object.
Straight-through processing — Business processes that can usually or often be performed completely automatically, with no human intervention. A flow rule that contains no assignment tasks by definition implements straight through processing. This represents a process with the greatest potential to maximize efficiency and return on investment.
Screen flow — A flow rule that presents a user with a sequence of forms to complete. A screen flow provides an effective way to simplify input processing and present questions or input fields in a series of related forms. Users can change an answer to an earlier question by backing up in the flow; and, in some situations, can complete steps in any order.
Shapes — Each shape in Process Modeler represents an Assignment, a Utility, a Decision, a Start or End, and so on. (The Microsoft Visio presentation of a flow are informally known as a tasks.)
Work item — The primary unit of work completed by an application, and the primary collection of data that a flow operates on. Operators using an application create, update, and eventually resolve and close work items.
Worklist — A list of outstanding (not complete) assignments waiting for a user to perform them. The list appears in a portal that supports application users that create, update, route, and resolve work objects.
Workbasket — A queue of open assignments that are not associated with an individual operator. Managers can review the assignments placed in a workbasket and distribute them one-by-one to appropriate users for processing. Alternatively, the system can automatically reassign assignments from the workbasket periodically to a user's worklist.

Hi lg -
Nope - Toyota Camry - silvery color. :)
That's not a book shop, it's a bookshelf from home. Karin Slaughter used to run a sign company near my office at BellSouth - I used to order stadium banners from her. We used to talk about books we were reading. So one day she and her boss invited me to lunch, since I was their "biggest customer" just then. And during lunch, it came up that Karin had written a book that she was shopping to publishers. After she got a three book deal, beginning with Blindsighted, she stopped working for the sign company. I love that she's a big deal writer now.

Oh, and I just read the comment above, where she had worked for a sign company. You find the neatest things from your blog!!

I will be interested to hear what you think of The Kept Woman. I loved it.
I hear you on the no room front though. I really need to do a serious cull again.

Hi Lynn - yes those creamy thick clouds that hang low sometimes - they are great to see. Two flat tyres ... I hope those days have gone by! But I remember them well - still sounds like the Tyre Shop has a good reputation. I still prefer books - but do use the Kindle sometimes ... Karin Slaughter - good for her and an example for others of us ... what fun to know her personally. Lovely story line for a post - cheers Hilary

I love the low hanging cloud shot. I couldn't see it at first.
The car will look great once it's restored.
I know it seems to shock a few people, but once I've read a book I just throw it into the recycling bin. I've read, I know I won't read it again, so it seems a good place to put it!

That was an amazing cloud shot and, yes, I had to enlarge it so see it better. Perhaps you will see the Impala one day after its restoration. Good to go with the better tires. I also selected a better brand (Interstate) when buying a car battery last week. I have some books on my bookshelf, but once I read them or even before some will be donated back to the thrift stores from whence they came. And, like you, I enjoy holding a book but my Kindle comes with me when I have to wait for appointments. It always has a couple of books downloaded from the local library.

48in48 in pictures
Wow. I'm just finally getting my feet back under me after the inaugural 48in48 event last weekend. When I first conceived of this event over a year ago, I never envisioned it would be so successful. The amount of support and passion that people showed was awe-inspiring, and we did it! We built 48 nonprofit websites in 48 hours!
I'll be sharing more details soon, but I thought I'd start with sharing the weekend via some pictures I took along the way.
My 48in48 co-founder and partner, Adam Walker, showed up early with everything from paper towels, swag from sponsors, and a printer. The event was at Ponce City Market in the General Assembly space. General Assembly, you were AMAZING!!!
Got the banner and shirts set up! Two sets of shirts – general volunteers + the web designers / developers.
We lined the front desk with a bunch of eager rock stars.
And badged everyone up.
We put a list of all the nonprofits we were going to help that weekend up on the whiteboard for people to choose when they arrived.
Loaded up the swag table.
Our first web developer arrived with her sleeping bag and suit case!
Joe Koufman (who provided some of these photos, thanks Joe!) was both a sponsor (AgencySparks) as well as a volunteer. And rock star Amy Martin came and worked the 10pm – 6am shift!!
More great friends showed up (Steve and Jess). And in the background, our amazing sponsors were up for all to see!
Then the crowd poured in.
It was a mad house as people chose nonprofits and teams to work with.
One of our volunteers, the great Steve Swanson, did double duty as PM and barista. Thanks Thrive Farmers Coffee for keeping us caffeinated all weekend!
Then the teams were hard at work building those 48 websites!
We even had a sleep room set up with blow up mattresses and sheets. Many volunteers took advantage of this room throughout the event!
And to keep people at the event, every four hours Adam and I gave away prizes, including Samsung phones and tablets, Google Chromebooks, and fresh Thrive coffee (all sponsors). In all we gave away 35 items!
And people sure hung around for those drawings. Hey, there's Leamon from IBM on the far left, the first sponsor to come on board many months ago!
Some of the general volunteers taking a break to snap a photo.
The great Atlanta Falcon, Warrick Dunn, came and inspired our volunteers with his amazing story and commitment to giving back to his community. Easily one of the highlights of the weekend.
The teams worked hard to build the best web experience possible for their nonprofits.
One of our sponsors, MailChimp, took us on a tour of their office in Ponce City Market.
King of Pops was also a sponsor :)
CBS came and filmed. Adam rocked the interview.
We kept our volunteers hydrated and fed, day and night. Moe's, Chick-fil-A, and Arby's donated meals. Coke, Thrive, and Red Bull provided drinks. And King of Pops and High Road Ice Cream gave us, well, popsicles and ice cream :)
My kids came up and visited :)
Daniel Roberts, CEO of one of our sponsors, Friendly Human, came at 2am on Saturday night and brought us an amazing meal. No joke, 2am!
Twitter, also a sponsor, gave us a tour of their office Sunday morning and provided everyone with Flying Biscuit!
By Sunday late afternoon, all of the 48 websites were complete!
Our incredible judges –Tad Hutcheson, Ann Cramer, Ken Bernhardt, Kate Atwood, Milton Little, and James Franklin – arrived and started going through the difficult process of picking the three winners. Tad, our amazing sponsor from Delta, announced the winners to the crowd.
Ann Cramer, one of best people I have ever met, gave a great speech at the end. Thank you, Ann!

The 'B' Word or is this a taboo subject?
Politics is key to everything we do but how has Brexit affected the property market to date?
First Impressions Count
In life, we are brought up to always make a good first impression of yourself. When it comes to selling your property, this is most definitely the case.
Top Tips For First Time Buyers
There is nothing more exciting than buying your first home. There is nothing more nerve wracking than buying your first home. Read out top tips for our first time buyers.
5 Ways To Improve The Saleability Of Your Home
When it comes to selling your property, it is important that everything is just right. We like to be honest with our clients at the point of instruction and we are not afraid to say something that will help make your home more saleability, in our opinion. After all, we both have the same common goal and that is to get the property sold. Let's get started…
When Is The Best Time To Sell Your Property
This is a question we are often asked by those who are considering putting their property on the market. At the point of valuation, in our experience, not everyone is ready to go live with their property to the market. For some, they may not have a choice of when the best time to sell due to matrimonial or financial reasons. If you are in a position where time is not an important factor, then this is a good question to ask your estate agent.

The Magyar Posta issued a set of two stamps on 18 May 2011 featuring famous items from famous Hungarian Museums.
The Rákóczi Museum operates as an affiliate of the Hungarian National Museum in Sárospatak. The castle of the Rákóczi family is today the most significant Rákóczi-linked location in Hungary, more than one hundred thousand people visit it every year. The permanent exhibition of the "golden age of the Rákóczi family" is the most detailed and the richest collection in the subject with regards to artefacts. Among the permanent exhibitions it is important to mention the exhibition on grape growing and wine making.

The Hungarian Chemistry Museum was established in 1963 by the Ministry of Heavy Industry with the purpose of collecting the Hungarian memories of the chemical industry and the science of chemistry, to keep them safe and make them accessible for the generations to come. It has been in operation in the Thury castle since 1969. Since being established it has retained its curiosity and operates as Central Europe's only independent museum of chemistry.
The order of the motifs forming the stamp image of the Várpalota Museum of Chemistry on the HUF 385 stamp are, from left to right: the certificate of Lajos Ilosvay (1851-1936) a prominent figure in Hungarian education in chemistry and medicine; the museum building, Thury castle; János Bánffy-Hunyady (1578-1646) Hungarian alchemist living in London; pharmacy vessels from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries and a mercury air pump from the bequest of Károly Than.

Special Covers from Andhra Pradesh
a special cover was released by Numismatic and Philatelic Society of East Godvari, Andhra Pradesh with the famous Annavaram Temple with the cancellation of the Temple Structure. This was released on the occasion of the East Godavari Numismatic and Philatelic Exhibition held in 2009.
Date of Issue : 26 June 2011
Annavaram village is situated on the banks of the Pampa River in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh in India.Annavaram is located at a distance of 125 KM from Visakhapatnam and 80 KM from Rajahmundry. National Highway number 5 passes through Annavaram. The bypass road (NH - 5) goes straight and to visit the temple take right turn in the junction near the Annavaram. It takes two and half hours from Visakhapatnam and from Rajahmundry side it will take 2 hours. Separate pooja halls are available for offering special pujas.
Annavaram Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy Temple
The most distinctive feature of Annavaram is the shrine to Lord Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy on the hill top. The name of the Goddess is Ananta-lakshmi Satyavathi Ammavaru.
National Highway (NH)-5 pass via Annavaram. The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) operates regular bus services from Kakinada to Tuni, Rajahmundry to Tuni, and Yele-swaram to Tuni via Annavaram.

I February 2014 I posted For what it's worth: My Patronus Charm. It sat quietly, mostly by itself, at the back of the class: nobody asked it any questions and it never put its hand up. It was there as a reminder, mostly to myself, of why I became a teacher and why, despite the tough days, I keep going back into the classroom. It was about a teacher who, unknown to her, meant a great deal to me. It was a personal story, but, I hoped, also a universal one.
About 6 months ago my cousin Sheila (@Northamptonpod) found my blog on Twitter and asked my permission to share it with friends and our wider family on Facebook. Immediately my piece had been moved to the front of the classroom: people, who knew me well, suddenly knew me a little better. Forty-plus years ago I had been a talkative, plump 6 year old, full of stories and bullied for sounding English. I had also been saved by my teacher.
The message of my blog had been that teachers have an impact on young people whether they know it or not. That impact can be enormously for the good, but rarely will the teacher ever learn about – or be thanked for – the good that they did. And that's fine. But, having told trainee teachers and my pupils about this teacher of mine, I did want to find out what became of her. Naturally I hadn't maintained contact with my classmates from then. Google was no help: it turned out I didn't know how to spell her name. But one cousin, Anne, remembered her as her neighbour from Dungannon, and she was confident she could track her down.
Anne did find her, Mrs McEneaney. She went to her house, took this photograph, let her read my blog. Yesterday I chatted with my old teacher on the phone. She retired a long time ago, having taught children to read and write and do sums for 42 years. She didn't quite remember me, but I was just one of 1200 kids she taught. She did remember the things I remembered, like the shelf of library books she kept in her room, the books that were my lifeline. She said she had never been thanked for her service, but she wasn't bitter about that: she spoke instead about her vocation, and about how tough it is for teachers today. She was very pleased that I too am a teacher, and delighted to learn that History is my subject. She has promised to send me a chart for my wall on the Easter 1916 Rising.
Still a teacher.

Perhaps feeling the heat over her kind words for accused sexual abuser Charlie Rose, CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King backtracked on Friday and said of the investigation: "Let the chips fall where they may." On Thursday, King declared she was "sick" of covering the sex allegations against her "friend" and former colleague.
The big three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) could finally breathe a sigh of relief on Thursday after the corruption trial against Democratic Senator Bob Menendez ended (at least for now) with a mistrial. Since the trial began 71 days ago, the network evening newscasts did everything in their power not to report it, effectively hiding it from their viewers. But Thursday evening saw all three of them find time to highlight Menendez's good fortune.
CBS This Morning on Monday highlighted an abortion battle in Kentucky and the efforts to close the last remaining clinic. Journalist Anna Werner talked to the clinic's director and pressed her on whether she really "believes" the assertion by a pro-life group that they are non-violent. A CBS graphic for the segment fretted, "Closing the Last Clinic?"
On Tuesday, Congressional GOP leaders unveiled their new health care bill that's supposed to repeal and replace ObamaCare, much to the chagrin of liberals and some conservatives. CBS came out strongly against the proposal and backed up Planned Parenthood in their stand against the bill. "Planned Parenthood is saying no deal to a proposal from President Trump," announced anchor Scott Pelley during CBS Evening News, "He said that he would keep funding the nation's largest family planning provider if it stopped providing abortions.
In an attempt to demonstrate how pervasive sexual assault was in politics Tuesday, CBS Evening News went back to the 90's for a heinous example. No, they didn't cover the plethora of examples swirling around former President Bill Clinton. Instead, they chose one of their favorite conservative punching bags, Justice Clarence Thomas. "While these stories are being shared across social media today, the theme and its reality are nothing new," stated CBS reporter Anna Werner before taking her shots at Thomas.
Only CBS This Morning on Thursday covered the ongoing saga of a liberal University of Missouri professor who called for "muscle" in an attempt to suppress free speech. ABC and NBC have not been interested in the case of Melissa Click and her caught-on-camera rant against a student journalist who filmed her in a public space. CBS's Anna Werner interviewed the professor and wondered, "Were you appalled by your behavior when you watched the video?"
On Friday, ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts all ignored how the Obama administration issued the latest version of its abortifacient/contraception mandate under ObamaCare, which ignores multiple court rulings against it – including the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling in 2014 – and again tries to force religious non-profits to fund drugs that they consider to be immoral. Instead, the Big Three programs all devoted over a minute and a half each to the ticker tape parade in New York City for the World Cup-winning U.S. national women's soccer team.
On Friday's CBS This Morning, co-host Gayle King promoted protests in Colorado designed to silence local school board members who were considering whether to have a discussion about possibly changing the history education curriculum to reflect a more positive view of the United States: "High school students outside Denver promise more protests today against the Jefferson County School Board. The panel refuses to drop a controversial plan reassessing how the district teaches American history."
In the report that followed, correspondent Anna Werner hyped "an incredibly contentious meeting" of the school board where "Audience members called for the board's three conservative members to resign after they voted in favor of curriculum review." The headline on screen throughout the segment read: "Censoring History? School Board Votes to Review Lessons Amid Outrage." [Listen to the audio]
On Tuesday night, both the CBS and NBC evening newscasts did their best to play up Texas Governor Rick Perry's appearance at an Austin courthouse following his indictment on corruption charges. The Texas Republican was indicted after vetoing funding for the state's Public Integrity Unit after its leader, Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, refused to resign following her DWI arrest.
The CBS and NBC's evening news anchors highlighted Perry being photographed for his mugshot with NBC's Brian Williams proclaiming that Perry was "fingerprinted, had his mugshot taken. A humiliating experience for a once and potentially future presidential candidate." [See video below.]
Jose Antonio Vargas, a 31-year-old illegal immigrant, was detained by border patrol agents while trying to board a plane from McAllen, Texas without proper documentation. Following his arrest, the "big three" networks did their best to promote his cause on their Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning broadcasts.
ABC's Good Morning America did the most to cheerlead for Vargas, with reporter Jim Avila declaring him "America's most famous undocumented immigrant" without ever referring to him as an illegal immigrant. To their credit, both CBS This Morning and NBC's Today correctly labeled Vargas as "illegally" living in the United States. All three networks did play up the fact that Vargas was a "Pulitzer Prize winning journalist." [See video below.]
On Tuesday, Univision's Jorge Ramos did something his colleagues at the Big Three networks have been reluctant to do. He pinned the blame for the ongoing border crisis squarely on Barack Obama's immigration policies.
Writing in the June 24 edition of Miami's El Nuevo Herald (translation courtesy of MRC Latino's Ken Oliver-Mendez) Ramos blasted the President: (video after the jump)
The CBS Evening News aired a stunning report Tuesday about a Dallas man that's been trying for a week to sign up for ObamaCare and still has not been successful.
"I don't accept the excuse of saying the system is just overloaded," he said (video follows with transcript and commentary):

With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.
This summer the Penderwick sisters have a wonderful surprise: a holiday on the grounds of a beautiful estate called Arundel. Soon they are busy discovering the summertime magic of Arundel's sprawling gardens, treasure-filled attic, tame rabbits, and the cook who makes the best gingerbread in Massachusetts. But the best discovery of all is Jeffrey Tifton, son of Arundel's owner, who quickly proves to be the perfect companion for their adventures.
The icy-hearted Mrs. Tifton is not as pleased with the Penderwicks as Jeffrey is, though, and warns the new friends to stay out of trouble. Which, of course, they will—won't they? One thing's for sure: it will be a summer the Penderwicks will never forget.
Deliciously nostalgic and quaintly witty, this is a story as breezy and carefree as a summer day.

Loans from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) can be a great way for first-time buyers to purchase a home, since they require a much smaller down-payment than typical home lenders do. But buying a condominium (rather than a single-family home) with an FHA loan has been nearly impossible, because only a tiny fraction of condo projects has received the approvals needed by the FHA.

Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) will provide up to $30 million to financially troubled Milwaukee homeowners under an agreement with the city announced today.
This comes after months of negotiations, a spate of critical press and upcoming hearings on how the city is financing the proposed $500 million Milwaukee Bucks arena, which media and analysts say is definitely related. The majority owner of Fortress Group Investments, which owns Nationstar, is co-owner of the Bucks.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Common Council President Michael Murphy said the company will provide the assistance through a combination of Nationstar and City of Milwaukee programs to help residents throughout the city keep and repair their homes.
The plan includes a commitment to provide an increased level of mortgage loan modifications to Nationstar customers in the city and a $500,000 donation to support the City of Milwaukee's Strong Homes loan program from 2016 through 2018.
"For Milwaukee homeowners who face economic challenges, this commitment is an opportunity to help more homeowners in our city. Home foreclosures will be avoided with new modification agreements, and more owners will receive low interest loans to help finance critical repairs to their homes." Mayor Tom Barrett said. "Residents who own their homes add value and stability to Milwaukee neighborhoods, and I don't want anyone to lose their home unnecessarily."?The five-part plan for Milwaukee includes the following elements:
- Nationstar will provide up to $30 million in financial assistance over the next three years for Nationstar customers in Milwaukee through mortgage loan modification programs. This assistance will help qualified customers potentially save on their mortgage payments, and represents a 57% increase over the amount of projected gross mortgage loan modifications Nationstar would otherwise forecast to provide over that period of time.
- Nationstar will provide $500,000 ($166,667 per year for three years) to the City of Milwaukee to support the Strong Homes Loan Program through 2018.
- Three face-to-face customer outreach events per year for the next three years to meet with and help Nationstar customers struggling with their mortgage payments in Milwaukee.
- Donations of as many Nationstar managed real estate properties in Milwaukee as possible. Whenever the company has foreclosures available that can be rehabilitated by local families or non-profits, those properties will be donated with a stipend of up to $10,000 per property to support renovation costs.
- A commitment to continue working with institutions that own mortgage loans in Milwaukee to secure additional assistance whenever possible, including discussions regarding GSE-owned REOs and unique, city-focused program opportunities for Milwaukee homeowners who are struggling.
"The foreclosure crisis in Milwaukee was complex–its impact is still felt by many homeowners in our city." said Common Council President Michael J. Murphy. "Partnerships have been an integral element to fighting the debilitating effect foreclosures have on neighborhoods. This newest partnership will not only help people stay in their homes, but?it also helps homeowners make the repairs needed to make their properties a positive asset in their neighborhood."
Nationstar President and CEO Jay Bray said, "Nationstar has 2.4 million customers across the United States, including approximately 3,500 in Milwaukee. So we understand the problems facing homeowners across America. We're excited to offer a package of support that we believe can help make a real difference for homeowners in the city. We appreciate the assistance and guidance from Mayor Tom Barrett and Common Council President Michael Murphy, who have enlightened us about the challenges facing the community and have worked with us to explore the possibilities for helping. We are proud to partner with them and the entire City of Milwaukee to provide this assistance."
As of August 25, 2015, Nationstar serviced nearly 3,500 customers in Milwaukee, and 86% of them were current. Of that total, 157 of those loans were in foreclosure, which is fewer than half as many as it had at the beginning of the year.
The company also has reduced the number of vacant homes it is responsible for to 42, and it has committed to full compliance with City ordinances and maintenance standards while properties move through the foreclosure process. Nationstar currently services 19 REO properties in Milwaukee for private investors.

Receiving medical treatment can often be scary and stressful. That's why the principles of modern medical office design are increasingly oriented toward making healthcare a less nerve-wracking experience. In this article, we'll briefly discuss some of these principles, and talk about how AD Systems' sliding doors can help.
Basic Principles of Modern Medical Office Design
There's no one standard set of guidelines for designing up-to-date medical facilities. However, there are some common themes:
- Privacy Protection
- Low-Maintenance Operation
- Aesthetic Elegance
- Flexibility in Function
AD Systems initially found success with their innovative sliding doors in corporate settings. Increasingly, they found themselves fielding inquiries from architects, designers, and facility owners in the healthcare field. Therefore, the time was right to create a door that served the specific needs of the medical field.
How the ExamSlide™ Leads the Way in Medical Door Design
The ExamSlide is designed to address the specialized design challenges of hospitals and clinics. AD Systems focused on hitting these marks using the framework of the modern design principles above:
- Privacy: The ExamSlide features a patent-pending acoustic drop seals and gaskets on all four sides to protect speech privacy.
- Low-Maintenance: AD Systems' doors are top-hung on tough, high-quality rollers. Their simple design means they're easy to clean and require little maintenance.
- Aesthetics: All AD Systems doors are available in a wide variety of beautiful finishes and hardware options.
- Flexibility: These high-performance doors are available in glass-front models, double doors, and more. They can meet your specs, no matter the size or style you require.
In fact, these attributes were key to one of AD Systems' biggest successes: implementing ExamSlide doors in the remodel of a large Utah hospital.
Case Study: Mountain View Hospital
Payson, Utah's Mountain View Hospital presented a superb test case for the ExamSlide. Nathan Murray, an architect who worked on the project, summed it up: "It was critical that we create transparency in the ED so that everyone—doctors, nurses, staff and patients—can look around and immediately see what's heading their way." In other words, the principles of modern medical design were vitally important to apply here.
Thanks to the ExamSlide, Mountain View Hospital was able to implement them in a way that benefited staff and patients alike. The ExamSlide helped create a fluid, dynamic, and responsive hospital environment for practicing true 21st-century medicine.
Curious about how AD Systems' groundbreaking doors can help you integrate the principles of modern medical office design? Contact AD Systems at 425-374-1360 or contact them online.

Somersville Cellars 2018 California Red Meritage
Our Somersville 2018 Red Meritage is a blend 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot.
The majority of this blend is comprised of two distinct Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa and Lodi. Take a moment to admire its deep rich purple color. This young wine shows some maturity with an array of dark fruit characters such as black currant, prune and blackberry. The oak treatment reveals some toasted oak, mocha, cigar box, cedar and tobacco notes. The mouth displays more red fruit, powered by both fruit tannins and barrel tannins. There is a fresh acidity and some fruity flavors in the mid-palate, like cherry and prune.
This intense-bodied wine will pair well with roast beef, rack of lamb or grilled chicken. Try it with the featured recipe: Grilled Lamb Chops with Meyer Lemon Risotto and Arugula.

Over 140 faculty and staff members at Columbia University have signed a letter supporting the demands of student activist group 24/7 Columbia, the group announced Friday afternoon.
Members of the group are currently occupying Lerner Hall in a sit-in, which entered its second day on Friday, that calls for round-the-clock access to in-person health services that are independent from systems of policing. During their first night of the occupation, protesters were told by University officials that they were breaking rules by sleeping in the building overnight, but no protesters were removed from the building.
The letter emphasizes the need for in-person, 24-hour counseling and trauma support for survivors of sexual assault, citing the findings of the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation (SHIFT) survey, which analyzed sexual health on campus last semester and found that 27.8% of undergraduate seniors have experienced sexual assault while at Columbia.
Members of the sit-in received an email from Executive Vice President of Office of University Life Suzanne Goldberg earlier on Friday acknowledging the protest and inviting students to meet with her again to talk about this issue. In the email, she did not mention anything regarding rules violations or disciplinary action for the protest.
A University spokesperson did not immediately respond to Spectator's request for comment regarding the protest on Friday afternoon.
Supporters are faculty members from across Columbia's graduate and undergraduate schools and include University Professor Gayatri Spivak, history professor Mae Ngai, English professor Bruce Robbins, and journalism professor Todd Gitlin.
The letter calls on the University to create a healthy learning environment for students, stating that "healthcare—including trauma support—is vital for fostering a community conducive to intellectual growth"
"Crisis by its very definition requires immediate response," Barnard English professor Alexandra Watson said in an email to Spectator. "Delay in responding to crisis can lead to uninformed decisions and can prove dangerous for a person's mental or physical health."
"It's unbelievable that Columbia does not have a 24-7 rape crisis center, or any round-the-clock health services for that matter," wrote History professor Mae Ngai in an email to Spectator. "It seems to me students have been clear on this issue and the University isn't listening. I support the students' action in Lerner."

Hey Ya'll!
I'm going to go on a rant about boutique shopping. I LOVE shopping at boutiques because the price point is right and the clothes seem to be more unique than department stores. By shopping at boutiques you also have a better chance at having an outfit not everyone else does because they only make or purchase so many of that piece. So once it sells its gone!
But there comes a challenge with shopping at boutiques when you do something like blogging. I have a hard time linking things I purchase at boutiques because they sell out so fast, and then they never bring it back. GRRR (I wish boutiques did restock more often than not)! So, basically all of this to say whenever I shop at a boutique I will try my best to get a post up ASAP so you can shop the exact look, but if that just doesn't happen I promise to go on the hunt to find the perfect dupes for ya'll.
So after my intro on boutique shopping, this dress was purchased at a boutique and of course is gone like usual. But, I found the most perfect dupe for ya'll from J. Crew Factory. The only difference in the dresses are my sleeve has two ruffles and theirs has one ruffle.
Outfit Details: Similar Dress // Wedges // Necklace // Dangle Earrings // Pearl Studs // LipSense Color is Caramel Apple
A classic navy shift dress is something everyone needs in their closet. It's a great substitute for your little black dress when you want something a little different than usual. This dress could be worn for so many different occasions like date night, weddings, baby showers, etc. all with the right accessories of course. I mean seriously think you could wear this dress anywhere to be honest.
The wedges are another topic, I love the edge they add to my classic dress. Gianni Bini has some of my most favorite shoes, and they are always so trendy and fun. Beware, they are tall though (I feel like most of her shoes are this way). Easy to walk in, but they definitely add an extra I'd say 4/5 inches to my height.
On another note, I really hope it starts to warm up in Germany soon. I know that is very far fetched considering the only months it's ever warm here is July and August, but I need some Vitamin D. And my butt definitely isn't going outside in the sun to get that until there is some warmth coming along with that sunshine (Hello this is why my legs are so white and pasty 24/7).
Enjoy your hump day! Only a couple more days to go till the weekend!
XO – Lauren
