Remove Tindertop ads (Free Instructions)
Reasons to get rid of Tindertop:
On its official website, Tindertop virus is introduced as a software "made with [love] by a bunch of awesome dudes from acround the globe." Yes, the spelling mistake is there, and it is not the only cue that raises suspicion about this supposedly useful program. The software initially claims to provide the users with service, allowing a quick access to the Tinder app directly from the computer's desktop. In other words, it is a mobile app adaptation created specifically for the Windows OS. According to the software creators, Linux and Mac OS X versions are still in the process of developing. Nevertheless, even such slogans like "This service is awesome, you've been wanred!" (another spelling mistake here) are not able to hide the suspiciousness of this program. Once it is installed on the computer, it starts carrying out activities that are not reconciled with the user. These activities may involve installing additional software, generating ads and initiating redirects to third-party websites. Such unauthorized processes often go unnoticed, or the users simply ignore them until it becomes nearly impossible to browse the web due to browser slowdowns or intrusive ads. You shouldn't let your computer reach such a state. Remove Tindertop from your computer as soon as you possibly can. Do it with specialized software, for instance Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego.
Experts label this program an adware-type infection. Though you can download it from the official website, Tindertop hijack is a more common way this ad-based virus gets into the computers. This ensures the software a safe incubation period during which the virus can settle on the computer. Gradually, more and more Tindertop ads labeled "Ads by Tindertop," "Brought by Tindertop" etc., begin to appear on the infected computer browser in forms of banners, popups, video ads or in-texts. As if that's not enough, you start ending up on various unfamiliar websites. After a while, you are not even sure of which link or advertisement is legitimate and which one may simply trigger the Tindertop redirect. What you can be completely certain about, though, is that you do not end up on these random pages by accident. The adware creators predetermine these domains and specifically send you to the affiliate sites to boost their traffic. That's how this freely downloadable software is monetized. If you expect a completely free service, uninterrupted by sponsored ads, take care of the Tindertop removal and start looking for it elsewhere, because this program will not provide any of that.
Methods of preventing this malware from entering your PC:
Just as you would normally expect from a legitimate program, Tindertop can be downloaded from the official website. Nonetheless, it does not seem that the program is popular enough for the users to find it online and install in on their computers. So, how does it still appear on your computer? It's simple. This program is based on the deceptive software marketing technique, simply called "bundling." This allows the developers to install Tindertop in the shadow of the regular freeware or shareware programs. The third-party applications are bundled in such a way so that they can be seen only through the "Custom" or "Advanced" installation settings. When was the last time you used these settings to install software on your PC? This is a major problem with most users; that is why unintentional installation of PUPs is so common.

County Partnership Offers Diabetes Education
July 23, 2013
July 23, 2013?The Do?a Ana County Health and Human Services Department and Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital have launched an educational awareness program to help people live a healthier lifestyle with diabetes.
?Nuestra Vida? began in January 2013 and is expected to continue until February 2014. The initial vision of the pilot program began two years ago, motivated by health promotoras in Do?a Ana County?s rural communities where diabetics in Do?a Ana County were having trouble finding health-related information on living with diabetes.
According to Do?a Ana County Health and Human Services Manager Jamie Michael, Nuestra Vida is a preventative measure intended to reach out to those in need.
?The purpose of this program is to educate the community on health and wellness, which will hopefully prevent them from going to the emergency room for issues that are completely preventable.?
The program is designed to educate these communities with right diets, exercise, change in life style and medicine within their means. Maria Miranda, RN, Diabetic Educator from MMC, said, ?To be able to teach these classes you must be culturally sensitive to understand the community.?
Diabetes classes are held once a week at the Vado/Del Cerro Community Resource Center and the Do?a Ana Community Resource Center. Classes run for approximately two and a half hours and are open to adults over 18 years of age who have diabetes, pre-diabetes or suspect they might have the disease.
According to Cruz Saenz, a health promotora with the program, classes are also offered in both English and Spanish.
?It is important to offer an environment where people are comfortable to ask questions in their own language,? said Saenz.
In addition to the health awareness classes, people can also participate in Zumba classes, cooking classes, gardening, and trips to the market where they can learn about healthier food choices.
Program organizers say they have received a positive response from everyone involved.
?The program works because doctors are able to give each person the time they need to ask questions and have those questions answered. The people we serve often tell us they don?t feel they can do that with many practitioners,? said health promotora Linda Gallardo.
?If we educate the community, then we empower them to be healthy community members. By doing that, we reach all age groups and generations,? Miranda said.
It works like a chain: one person getting educated will take that information and apply it in their homes. Then the family will learn and pass the message along at work, school or with friends.
?This program demonstrates it can work! When people have knowledge they are empowered to change their lives,? Miranda said.
For more information on the Nuestra Vida program, contact Jamie Michael with the Do?a Ana County Health and Human Services Department, (575) 525-5969.

In 1961, there was a widely held theory among educated Baltimore Negroes, many of whom, like my mother, were teachers or administrators themselves, that if you wanted your children to have a good public school education, you should send them to a school that was predominantly Jewish, because Jews valued learning. And so I was sent not to the brand-new junior high that was built to service Negro students who were in desperate need of a better facility, but to Garrison Junior High in the Forest Park neighborhood, from which gentile whites had fled when the Jewish population moved in. I wasn't "bused," but I had to take two buses to get there.
Segregated schools taught you where you did belong. Integrated schools taught, in surgical detail, where you did not belong.
That is what junior high is all about. Sorting. I assessed the following as best as an 11-year old-could: White Christians and Jews stayed apart. My Jewish classmates seemed to divide along lines that privileged assimilation. Two Eastern European girls, one of whom had recently arrived in the United States, played a game in which they threw knives into a circle on the ground. (Today, that would get you handcuffed and perhaps jailed.) They were ostracized. But a newly arrived Algerian Jewish girl was welcomed because she was pretty. We Negro kids divided along class lines: where we went to church, by neighborhood and by our mating habits.
"Don't stare," the friend with whom I rode the bus would whisper. She looked straight ahead, keeping any possible white hostility in her peripheral vision.
As much as my school day was preoccupied with watching and listening, I felt both visible and invisible. Visible because of my color. Invisible because of my color. A few years ago, I ran into a friend from those Garrison days, who had been quite visible. Ken was the only Negro in his homeroom. He was handsome and smart, and his parents were part of Baltimore Negro high society. "Garrison was an awful place," he said with a passion that awakened my muscle memory and filled me with the daily toxicity I had once experienced. I remembered him as a prince who moved through that world with a grin. But it wasn't so.
His mother had had what was then labeled a "nervous breakdown." Johns Hopkins Hospital didn't accept Negroes for inpatient psychiatric treatment in the early '60s. Crownsville, where gravestones bore numbers, not names, housed Negroes, but that didn't ring a bell when we talked. Ken did not remember where his mother was treated, just that she was gone for a long time. His father, seldom home, was involved in politics. One night, alone at his dining room table, staring hopelessly at a linear equation, Ken was overwhelmed by a vision: He was on a dock. His white classmates were in a boat. If he could not solve that problem, that very night, the boat would sail off, leaving him behind. He burst into tears. Before dawn, he taught himself the logic of the equation. From then on, he was always top of his class in mathematics. He is a successful scientist now, who in addition to his professional obligations teaches astrophysics to at-risk girls.
Brown v. Board of Education, a recent ruling when I was at Garrison, had been received with ambivalence across the nation. In the South, private religious schools emerged so that white families could dodge sending their children to learn with blacks. At newly integrated schools, fostering collegiality and visibility among students and working toward a more inclusive future was rarely a passionately promoted agenda. You cannot get a good education if you disappear from yourself. Being visible and present is crucial to embracing knowledge.
I graduated from Garrison relatively invisible. I don't even remember my junior high graduation dress. And then it was time to go to high school.
Western High School was an all-girls public school near Baltimore's most cherished historic buildings. When I crossed the threshold for the first time, I saw down the long hallway a petite, elegantly dressed woman with perfect posture. Her diction, as she called out directives, could have cracked crystal. Moving a few steps closer, I saw that she was a Negro and later learned that she was a vice principal. Not unusual now, very unusual then. As I walked a few steps beyond her, I heard, "Aren't you a Smith?" I turned. "You look just like your mother … and your father."
That was the legendary Essie M. Hughes. She'd been a Latin teacher and had taught generations of Negro children, including my parents and aunts and uncles, in one of the two Negro high schools during the '40s and '50s. She saw me. I saw her seeing me. Within five minutes of my entering the new school, my invisibility in education was over.
Homeroom seating was alphabetical. In front of me sat a white Jewish girl whose mother was a violinist in the Baltimore Symphony. Until then, the symphony's musicians were, to me, white and black dots I'd struggled to magnify through binoculars. Yet, when my new classmate and I glanced at each other for the first time, I felt as though I'd known her for a lifetime. The girl behind me, also white (and Catholic), was hilarious. As far as I was concerned, undiscovered forms of hilarity were always welcome.
I like September. Even though it required going back to school, it always filled me with optimism. And my birthday falls in that month. That first year, the violinist's daughter gave me a book of poems and a card. She signed the card "Love, Ruthie." She was the first white person in my life who used the word "love" in relation to me. We became close friends, counseling each other until our last gasps of adolescence.
Unlike Garrison, Western was not toxic. I credit its leadership. A commanding triumvirate indeed: Miss Kell, the principal, was a white woman over six feet tall who looked like a mix of George Washington and a Eudora Welty character. Mr. DeWolff, the other vice principal, was a white man with a disability at a time when there were no sloping curbs or much else to aid mobility. Miss Hughes was well traveled, fluent in several languages. She'd grown up when segregation was the norm in much of Baltimore and the surrounding areas.
In spite of their personal battles, or perhaps because of them, they provided contours around which dividing lines melted. I experienced the fractured and often bloody '60s in an intellectual environment where many voices were heard, many cultures seen. It wasn't just being visible to myself that made education intoxicating. It was paying attention to the world in the company of those who had different histories, and who followed different paths, that turned on the lights for me.

No Changes for Landscape Architects' Services in NAFTA 2.0
10/15/2018Leave a Comment
President Trump has long been a critic of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that was enacted in 1994. From the early days of his presidential campaign, Trump promised to renegotiate the terms with Canada and Mexico or cancel the agreement altogether. On September 30, 2018, the White House announced that the three nations had reached an agreement and released the final text of a new free trade agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada called USMCA.
USMCA predominantly keeps the bulk of NAFTA intact. One of the biggest changes is that NAFTA was meant to remain in effect indefinitely with no review, whereas USMCA must be reviewed every six years by the three member nations. Most of the other major changes involve the production and import of automobiles and automobile parts, as well the wages of automobile assembly and manufacturing workers.
The largest and most specific impact NAFTA had on landscape architects regarded temporary entry for business persons. This provision remains unchanged in USMCA. Under both the current and proposed agreements, business professionals are allowed temporary entry into the other member nations for the purpose of employment through work permits, as business visitors, or through intra-company transfers. Business professionals currently working abroad will not be required to leave or seek new permits or visas until their current ones expire. Additionally, landscape architects are still specifically mentioned within the new agreement as eligible for temporary entry.
The process to enact USMCA in the United States is long and detailed. First, the agreement text is signed by President Trump, the President of Mexico, and the Prime Minister of Canada. The earliest this can occur is November 30, 2018. USMCA, much like NAFTA, is not a treaty and therefore must then pass both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate under a special process with specific time limits. If it passes Congress, and the president signs it, the agreement goes into effect three months after the United States, Mexico, and Canada have all completed their approval processes. Should it fail to be approved by all three nations, USMCA does not go into effect and NAFTA would remain in force as it is today.
Whether USMCA or NAFTA is in effect, however, landscape architects will be eligible for business travel between all three nations under the same rules as today. ASLA will continue to follow this issue and inform its members of any updates on USMCA.

Children 6 weeks to 18 months of age
"The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth." –Maria Montessori
Richland Academy's Infant Program offers an emotionally supportive learning environment designed to promote each child's development during their sensitive stages. It is important for a young child to be independent within an environment that maintains a balance between activity-based challenges and emotional support.
The Montessori Infant classroom is a combined, multi-age community of learners between the ages of 6 weeks and 18 months. Children move freely within the environment between various hands-on, self-correcting materials. These materials are designed to appeal to the child's desire to explore the world in a meaningful way.
Richland Academy believes consistency between home and school is important. In order to maintain that consistency, we fully support breast feeding mothers by feeding breast milk to infants in our care. Parents are welcome to bring clearly labeled frozen or thawed breast milk to school. Also, moms are welcome to come to the school to breast feed during the day.
Parents may choose from the following Infant (6 weeks to 18 months) Programs:
3-Day Half Day: Classes meet Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8:30 am to 11:30 am
3-Day Full Day: Classes meet Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
5-Day Half Day: Classes meet Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 11:30 am
5-Day Full Day: Classes meet Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm

Developmentally Appropriate Practice
Richland Academy strongly believes that the best environment for infants is one that offers care that is founded on developmentally appropriate practice-care that "goes with" the development of each child, rather than interrupting it. In order to achieve this goal, our infant classroom offers each child the following:
Primary Caregiving
The building of a relationship between a child and caregiver is the foundation of quality care for infants. Selecting a primary caregiver for each child promotes the caring, one-on-one relationship that helps children thrive. A child develops trust as his/her primary caregiver learns to respond to his/her unique temperament, needs, and interests by being the one who almost always diapers him/her, feeds him/her, puts him/her to sleep, and communicates with his/her family. The child's security deepens as his/her primary caregiver develops a positive relationship with his/her family and comes to know the family's wishes for their child. This holistic relationship provides the security and trust that enables each child to become curious and competent explorers in the Montessori environment.
Continuity of Care
Continuity of care is key to providing the deep connections that infants need for quality care. In Richland Academy's Infant Program, each child has the same primary caregiver until age two. This spares the child the trauma of leaving someone to whom he/she is securely attached and having to adjust to someone who does not know him/her. Stability is important for healthy emotional development, which forms the basis for all other areas of development.
Mixed-Age Grouping
Many childcare facilities group children according to vary narrow age ranges (often separated by as little as six months) and are moved to new rooms as often as four times before they turn three years of age. This strategy of constant shifting to new groups may disrupt the child's developmental processes as he/she is required to shift attention from his/her own development to adjust to a new space. The mixed-age grouping in our Infant Program allows children to experience life in a consistent setting. Development proceeds without the interruption of moving, changing, and frequently adjusting during critical times of development.
Our Infant Program promotes growth and development in following areas:
Language Development
Children listen intently and watch mouth movements from the time of birth. They gain understanding long before they can speak. Our Infants are immersed in oral language all around them. Caregivers talk to the children and explain what is happening throughout their day. As each child begins to experiment with their voice, imitating sounds, and saying a few words, caregivers will talk and listen to them. Language materials in the environment such as books, objects, and pictures for naming will further expand each child's exposure to language.
Gross Motor Development
Infants are interested in the environment around them as they begin to refine their movements. During this period they learn how to roll over, creep, and sit. Crawling, toddling, and walking follow. During the child's first year it is critical that they be provided an environment for movement. Richland Academy's Infant program avoids the use of swings, playpens, cribs, walkers, jumpers, carriers, and high chairs to contain your child. Children are free to explore the environment, which includes materials and equipment to promote creeping, standing, and walking. The room contains child-sized furniture to promote independence and gross motor development.
Fine Motor Development
Fine motor development is encouraged as each child gains control of their arms and hands as they manipulate mobiles, rattles, and objects to mouth, grasp, and move. Infants like to experience and discover cause and effect, such as shaking a rattle or banging things to make noise. As the pincer grasp develops, the children practice eating finger foods, drinking from a cup, and manipulating a spoon.
Practical Life Skills
Practical Life materials provide each child with opportunities to practice their self-help skills, allowing them to actively participate in self-care and eating independently. Through the practical life activities, children begin to develop positive work habits, independence, self-control, and the ability to concentrate. Materials in this area also promote the development of fine and gross motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and serve as the foundation for future work in all other areas of the classroom.
Sensorial Development
Our Infant classroom is equipped with tools to expand, excite and reinforce all of your child's senses:
- Rattles, bells, music and vocal sounds to stimulate auditory excitement
- Mobiles, mirrors and other visually engaging objects
- Patterned and textured materials to exercise touch
- Fruits, flowers, and spices to intrigue the olfactory senses
- Our daily tasting time further exposes each child to a variety of new tastes and textures in food with which they may not yet be familiar.
Infant Childcare
Richland Academy offers before and after school Childcare, which is available year round, for Infants enrolled in our Montessori program. Click here to learn more about our childcare program.

Josef (Joe) Gutenkauf, 1925 - 2012.
Josef Charles Gutenkauf, 87, a 30-year resident of Plainfield, NJ, died Saturday, December 8th, 2012 at JFK Medical Center, surrounded by his loving family. Joe, as he was known to everyone, was born October 13, 1925 in Chicago, the son of Joseph and Martha (Madison) Gutenkauf, and spent much of his childhood on the family farm in Clifton, Illinois. A World War II Army veteran, he served during the liberation of the Philippines and in the occupation of Japan. After the war, he attended the University of Chicago, where he received a B.A. in History.
Active in the Civil Rights movement, Joe joined the Socialist Party in 1944, and in 1948 served as executive secretary of the Chicago branch of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), working with Bayard Rustin, Michael Harrington, Norman Thomas, and many other noted political and intellectual luminaries. He was a founding member of what is now Democratic Socialists of America.
At Southern Illinois University, he met fellow Sociology graduate student Dorothy Miller, and they were married in 1964. Joe enrolled in the graduate program at Syracuse University in 1966, joined the faculty at Ithaca College, and later taught at Glassboro State College (now Rowan University). After moving to New Jersey, Joe worked at the NJ Treasury Department's Affirmative Action Office until his retirement in 1992, and was a member of the American Federation of Teachers and the Communications Workers of America. He was an avid WWII historian, a voracious reader, and a terrific cook, and loved classic films and European history.
An active member of the Plainfield community, Joe worked on political campaigns for school board and for candidates for local, state and national office. A member of the Democratic City Committee for many years, Joe worked to abolish the death penalty, achieve marriage equality, and keep -- and later restore -– Plainfield's Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center. He received awards for his commitment to social justice from the Plainfield Area NAACP and Garden State Equality.
Joe is survived by his devoted wife of 48 years, Dottie Gutenkauf; his daughter, Polly Armour and her husband, Jay of Gardiner, New York; and his son, Jon Martin and his partner, Craig Roseberry, of New York City. He was the beloved brother-in-law of Alice Gutenkauf of Morton Grove, Illinois; uncle of Diane Gutenkauf and her husband Michael Hassan of Elmhurst, Illinois, and Karen Gutenkauf of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; grandfather of Sarah and Josh Armour; and cherished friend to Joan Hervey and Linda Geczi and to his loyal canine companion, Sheba. Joe was predeceased by his dear brother Martin.
At his request, his remains have been donated to the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. A memorial gathering will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Plainfield Rescue Squad at P.O. Box 707, Plainfield, NJ 07060, and to the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players at 302 West 91st St, New York, NY 10024.
Condolences may be sent to Dottie Gutenkauf at 414 Randolph Road, Plainfield,NJ 07060 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Very proper tea-making tips
Golly, the black-and-white world was neat and tidy. "It's not everyone who can make a good cup of tea!" White lab coats, hopefully, are not required ...
You know, the narrator here mentions that "tea leaves will absorb all kinds of aromas," and thus advises air-tight storage, etc. He's speaking of dry leaves, of course — but as someone mentioned this week at a tea tasting, wet leaves from the pot can be dropped into a cup and set in the fridge for the same purpose. The tea actually absorbs odors, just like your stale box of Arm & Hammer.

Check out the sexy countdown teaser for SLAY ONE: RIVALRY (Slay Quartet #1) by Laurelin Paige,
coming in only two weeks!
Add SLAY #1 to Goodreads
Edward Fasbender is a devil.
He's my father's business rival, a powerful, vicious man who takes what he wants and bows to no one. I only took the meeting because I was curious. I thought he was going to offer me a job.
But that's not what he's after at all. His proposal is much more intriguing, and I see an opportunity. An opportunity to turn the tables and bring down the devil.
I've gotten in trouble playing these games before. I know when the risk is too great, when the stakes are too high. I know how to be cold and strong-willed and destructive. I know how to withstand dominant men with arrogant charm and rugged features.
Yet I can't resist taking on Edward.
And I can't resist the pull he has on me.
Soon I'm not so sure which side of the battle I'm standing on–if I'm the warrior meant to slay,
Or the one who will be slain.

The Ardbeg marketing machine is a serious corporate Death Star armed with three-wheeled motorized tricycles and solid gold bottles with S&M whiskey harnesses. And they seem to need this incessant hum drum of clichéd whiskypiphany (just made that up!) combined with over-the-top accessorization in order to pedal No-Age-Statement whiskies in a myriad of questionably different limited releases, consistently over $100/bottle. Hey, it's good work if you can get it.
So when the latest Ardbeg limited release "Dark Cove" came out, we were predisposed to derision...
"Take this whisky and hide it well. For its heart has been matured in DARK SHERRY CASKS, imparting waves of treacle toffee, coal tar, squid ink, noodles and toasted coffee grounds. The DARKEST ARDBEG ever."
The word "heart" actually does mean something when it comes to distilling - this isn't it. And doesn't this just seem like a list of dark things? Would you want to taste "squid ink" in your whisky? More to the point, this isn't the darkest Ardbeg ever. Not by a long shot. Here's what a dark Ardbeg looks like:
Here's the coal tar, squid ink, & coffee grounds Dark Cove:
Ok, ok, but enough kvetching about how it's not the darkest ever, it's not even that dark, and why do people keep trying to market "darkness" as if they're selling spray tan? Let's taste it.
Tasting Notes
Nose: It really does smell delicious. There's a lot of peat, and it's just wrapped up beautifully in sweet black licorice. There's all kinds of good overripe fruits going on, like sickly sweet melons and guavas, in a good way... a really good way. There's some good leather polish, cough drops, and ocean brine. Weird bunch of notes to put together, but it's instantly recognizable as a quality malt. We'd be shocked if there wasn't at least a mix of some well-matured spirit in there despite the lack of age statement.
Palate: The mouth-feel is just HUGE. Like sipping on castor oil, it absolutely coats your throat on the way down and lingers around the little pockets in your mouth. Very enjoyable. Note to self - if the 92 proofer is this thick, must make a point to try the 110 proof big brother, must be like crude oil. It's a very well balanced palate with more honey and traditional sherry notes like raisins & plums.
Finish: Much lighter on the phenolic peat fire than your typical Ardbeg, the finish continues the trend here of wrapping up the smoke in the sweetness and fruit. It's memorable, but not in the "hours and hours of smoldering smoke" kind of way you've grown to expect from Ardbeg. This is a much more nuanced finish with the texture of the palate coming to the fore as the most memorable element.
Yes, yes it's still a NAS bottle for over a hundred dollars (or good luck finding the 110 proof committee version for under $250!), so we're supposed to be pissed off here. Sure, ok, we're still a little pissed off trying to pick the squid ink out of our teeth. But this stuff is GOOD. It's really an awesome drinking dram and still better than many >$100 bottles out there in our opinion. It's like what Corryvreckan was shooting for, with big fruits playing off against the peat, although Corry was a miss for us. This one nails it.
So good job Ardbeg, yet again despite having to climb the wall of marketing yakety yak, this malt is damn tasty.

I've been shamefully remiss on recent auctions. Many apologies.
Bonhams London sold Printed Books, Manuscripts, Music and Photographs on 24 March. Highlights included a manuscript account of several Hudson's Bay voyages (£44,400); Rechberg and Depping's Les peuples de le Russie (Paris: 1812-13) (£25,200); a Charles Lutwidge Dodgson photograph (£28,800); and a large collection of George Orwell material which sold very well (lots 166-189).
Tomorrow, Bloomsbury London hosts a Bibliophile sale, in 710 lots.
Bonhams New York will sell a collection of books related to Hawaii and the South Pacific on 6 April. The library includes some fifty lots of Cookiana, among other interesting things.
On 8 April, two big book sales: at Sotheby's Paris, "A Select Collection of a Bookseller-Dilettante, Christope d'Astier" featuring 385 lots, and at Christie's London, Travel, Science & Natural History, including some fascinating artifacts (including a very scarce Leeuwenhoek silver microscope).

Benjamin Rush Quotes About EducationQuotes about: Education
I grant this mode of secluding boys from the intercourse of private families has a tendency to make them scholars, but our business is to make them men, citizens, and Christians. The vices of young people are generally learned from each other. The vices of adults seldom infect them. By separating them from each other, therefore, in their hours of relaxation from study, we secure their morals from a principal source of corruption, while we improve their manners by subjecting them to those restraints which the difference of age and sex naturally produce in private families.
The business of education has lay[ed] the foundations for nurseries of wise and good men, to adapt our modes of teaching to the peculiar form of our government . . . . He must be taught to love his fellow creatures in every part of the world, but he must cherish with a more intense and peculiar affection the citizens of Pennsylvania and of the United States.
While the business of education in Europe consists in lectures upon the ruins of Palmyra and the antiquities of Herculaneum , or in disputes about Hebrew points, Greek particles, or the accent and quantity of the Roman language, the youth of America will be employed in acquiring those branches of knowledge which increase the conveniences of life.

Creating an operations manual is a key part of franchising any business, as it helps ensure each franchisee is operating in the way that made the original, franchised, business successful in the first place. You want reliable, repeatable, consistent performance from every franchised location.
However, it's often the case that there needs to be slight variations between each franchised location. The challenge is, how can this be reflected in the operations manual?
For example, let's say a company called Doner-Summa decides to franchise its business selling turkish doner pizzas and have franchises in Leeds (in the UK) and Dublin (in Ireland). It wants to have standard operating procedures in the case of a fire, but it has the challenge that the layout of each store is different, as is the emergency telephone number between the two countries.
The solution is to create a franchise operations manuals where certain sections are controlled centrally by the franchisor, and where other sections can be customised to reflect the particular situation of each franchisee:
When the Leeds branch adds its content to its operations manual, it contains important and specific information relevant to their situation. In this case, the location of the fire alarms and the evacuation point:
The Dublin branch operations guide looks similar, but the building diagram and the emergency number are different:
With this approach, Doner-Summa has not passed over all control of the manual to the franchisees. It still has the ability to make iterative improvements to the processes and procedures from the centre.
Let's say, for example, Doner-Summa discovers the procedure states people should contact the operator, when they should contact the fire brigade. It can make a change to the centrally controlled core procedure, and this change will auto-magically be inserted into all the franchisees' versions of the guide.
Change made to the core procedure here:
Results in the franchisees operations manuals being automatically updated to reflect the change:
Of course, any printed versions of the operations guide will only be updated when a new version of the guide is printed out by the franchisee. However, it's possible for an automatic notification email to be sent out to every franchisee whenever the core content has been amended. Also, any online or tablet versions of the manual will have been updated in real time.
Note: Turkish pizzas do exist in Germany. They are donor kebabs wrapped in a burrito-type bread instead of pitta bread. Doner-Summa is not meant to reflect any existing business with the same or similar name.

If any US family members plan to visit Ireland or Irish family members plan to visit the US, please contact me. I will try to put you in touch with a cousin in the country that you are visiting.
In June, 1999, US cousin Mary Susan Clarke and her daughters Mariel and Amanda, met for dinner, with Irish cousin Shivaun McDonnell Sheehan and her husband, Lorcan, in Dublin. By all accounts this was a very pleasant and interesting encounter.
If anyone wishes to see the farm in Cloughreagh, the church in Meath Hill or the graves in Nobber, I can supply the name of a very nice B and B in nearby Drumconrath. (No I don't get a commission). And Paddy and Angie McDonnell would love to talk to some more American cousins.
I think that, although separated by a hundred years and a large pond, you will find the descendants of all those Patricks are very much alike.
I am reluctant to put phone numbers and addresses into this web page, but I will supply them via
