Preschool Curriculum for Homeschooling
The purpose of preschool is to help prepare young children for kindergarten and elementary education. Many curriculum items can and should be taught passively with games and observation. Others will need to be taught directly.
Homeschooling parents can create a checklist and observe the child for completed milestones, and make up games to teach things that the child is not learning on her own.
For preschoolers, the math curriculum doesn't necessarily look like math, with the exception of being able to count to 10. Besides that, they should be able to count objects, learn the difference between empty and full, and understand the concepts of more and less. Preschoolers should also learn their ages and know their birthdays and have a basic understanding of time, such as day and night.
Language Arts
Language arts for preschoolers focuses on preparing the child to start reading. Reading to the child is the first step. If the child is read to frequently, you will notice him pretending to read when looking at books and magazines, and he will tell stories when looking at pictures. The child will begin to recognise nursery rhymes, be able to answer questions about short stories and understand the meaning of words in stories.
Children must be able to recognise letters, know and write their full names, and be able to express themselves verbally. When the child is ready to read, he will be able to understand the meaning of simple words, repeat a short sentence, fill in the correct word in a short sentence, and track from left to right when looking at books and written materials.
Art education in preschool, prepares children for creative thinking and even math. A preschooler should be able to be able to name primary colours. She should also be familiar with shapes, be able to match shapes and objects, and copy shapes on paper.
Motor Skills
Not all fine motor skills come naturally. Many must be taught and practised. In preschool, students perfect walking in a straight line, marching, running, hopping and jumping. They will walk down the stairs, alternating their feet, and be able to stand on one foot and walk backward. Preschoolers should learn to cut out shapes with scissors and paste objects together. They must be able to use pencils and crayons to draw on paper, and colour beyond simple scribbles. Preschoolers also need to throw a ball, clap their hands, and button and zip their clothes. If they can do all of these things, plus stack blocks and put together puzzles, they will be ready for the kindergarten curriculum.
Following directions is an important part of preschool. This does not just mean following instructions, but involves being able to orientate themselves in the world. Preschoolers should know the difference between up and down, in and out, front and back, over and under, and top, bottom and middle. A child must be able to follow directions and listen to short stories. Students should know hot from cold and understand fast and slow. They must learn to repeat sequences of numbers and sounds, and retell a simple story in the correct order.
Personal Life Skills
Preschool children should learn and become comfortable with personal life skills. This includes using the bathroom by themselves, getting dressed, and being able to brush their teeth and blow their noses. They should be able to pick up their toys and take care of their belongings. Children should be able to have a conversation and get along with others, know their names and their parents' names, as well as addresses and phone numbers. Preschoolers should begin helping the family with simple chores.

Bedroom is the important part of any house and it should be decorated in best possible manner. The reason is that the bedroom is the place where you spend most of your time and t is the relaxing place for you. The bedroom can be decorated in different ways with different colors and
Personal style
It different styles. You can either make the look of the bedroom a traditional one or you can make it a modern one. The style of the bedroom is to be chosen such that it complements the home.
Personal style
It is a bit difficult to have satisfied your personal style and the most important thing is that you get all the requirements fulfilled in one piece of furniture. If you really want something different from your bedroom then you should try with the black furniture bedroom. If the style is sleek and modern then you need to pick the dramatic and cheaper line colors. It is your personal choice to pick the color and you can get the bright and neutral color as well. Some people like the printed designs in the black furniture bedroom.
You should not be afraid of trying with the bright black color as the furniture color. It is fun and unique to use the black furniture bedroom. There are many people who are afraid of trying the bright color and some people feel that black color can affect their eyes. But if you want something different then switch on from light colors to bright colors and back is the best one. The black furniture does not get into the eyes as the other things in the room are of the matching colors. The curtains and mattress and many other things should be chosen such that it matches with other things in the room.
There are some people who opt to have the wallpapers which are painted artistically and that have the unique texture. The other opts to save the wall d cor painting and them only use the wall colors and place is beautified with the framed pictured and paintings. Black furniture can resemble your personality and unique style. Overall you need to take care that all the parts of bedroom should be able to complement bedroom. You can get the furniture from stores and form online market as well. It is your choice from where you wish to purchase but make sure that our keep all things in mind.

READADC10 channel,wordvariable
Channel - is a variable/constant specifying the ADC channel (not pin number)
Wordvariable - receives the data word read.
Read the ADC channel (10 bit resolution) contents into wordvariable.
On X2 parts you must use the ADC channel, not the pin number, in the readadc10 command (e.g. readadc10 0,w1 NOT readadc10 A.0, w1). The readadc10 command is used to read the analogue value from microcontrollers with 10-bit capability. Note that not all inputs have internal ADC functionality - check the pinout for the PICAXE chip you are using. As the result is 10 bit a word variable must be used - for a byte value use the readadc command instead.
Note for users of old AXE026 Serial Cable (does not apply to AXE027 USB Cable)
When using the debug command to output 10 bit numbers, the electrical connection to the computer via the old AXE026 serial download cable may slightly affect the ADC values. In this case it is recommended that the 'enhanced' interface circuit is used on a serial connection. The Schottky diode within this circuit reduces this issue.
Read a 10-bit analogue value on analogue channel 1 and report its value
main: readadc10 1,w1 ; read value into w1
debug ; transmit to computer
pause 200 ; short delay
goto main ; loop back to start

Did Jesus Really Turn Water Into Wine?
Verse: John 2:1-11
What people often forget is that if Jesus created the world (see Genesis 1:1; John 1:3; Colossians 1:15–17), not only are miracles possible, but miracles are actual, because the biggest miracle has already happened—making something out of nothing. What's harder: for Jesus to take water and turn it into wine or for Jesus to take a handful of nothing and make water? It's a lot harder to make water out of nothing than to make wine out of water.
The evidence of modern cosmology points toward a supernatural Creator. And if you've got a God who can make something out of nothing, then the other miracles of the Bible would be like child's play for him.
— Adapted from interview with Dr. Norman Geisler

American Heart Association
The American Heart Association (AHA) identifies smoking as one of the "six major independent risk factors for coronary heart disease." Smokers are more prone to blood clots and less likely to be physically active, both of which affect heart health. Their "quit smoking" page combines detailed information on smoking's health risks, along with resources to help you quit, fight the urge to smoke and create a plan to quit and stay that way.
Their quitters plan is a little bit less involved than some of the other services out there. Rather than an interactive site, the AHA provides ideas for dealing with the urge to smoke, whether you're home, outside or in social situations. They encourage smokers to "keep a list of pleasurable activities you can do when you feel urges during your transition phase."

|Finally! 7901
|Thu, 28 Jun 2001 11:43:57 GMT
HOW TO TURN NINE DOLLARS INTO NINE OR NINETY NINE THOUSAND: Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK! I found this by the merest accident and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of DOLLARS within weeks with only an initial investment of $9.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article and $3.00 for the founder of this brilliant program. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands). No catch, that was it! So, after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except (7) seven stamps and $9.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $9.00. Well GUESS WHAT!? ... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week, I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week, I had over $10,000.00 and it was still growing. At the end of my fourth week, I had made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it had been still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $9.00, and (7) seven stamps. I have spent more than that on the lottery! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works... Make sure you print a copy of this text NOW, so you can get the information off it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! Follow these simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $9.00 (Plus: postage)! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP #1: Get six (6) separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "I am a NEW MEMBER OF MAILERTROOPS2000. Please include me in your mailing list." and directly under that include your email address. Now get six (6) $1.00 bills and place ONE (1) inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so it will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one piece paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name, address and a $1.00. Now, into the seventh envelope place $3.00 and also write following on one paper "THIS FEE I AM PAYING NOW IS ASSIGNED TO THE FOUNDER OF MAILERTROOPS2000; I AM NEW MEMBER OF THE MAILERTROOPS2000." What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So, I checked it out with the Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail 6 envelopes to the following addresses: 1. Janine Fredricks 5 James Anderson Court, Ovex Close London, England E14 2RL 2. Joseph J. Clune 12819 Grant Street Crown Point, IN 46307 United States 3. Garr Jones 1405 New Rodger Rd. Apt. BB8 Bristol, PA 19007 United States 4. David Lee 101 Russell St. West Lafayette, IN 47906 United States 5. Todd N. Taylor PO Box 387 Joliet, IL 60436 United States 6. Matthew M. Booker 700 North Waverly Road, Apt. #1423 Porter, IN 46304 United States The seventh envelope, with 3 DOLLARS in it is mailed to: The MailerTroops2000 founder: Jason A. Szakel PO Box 1783 Hampton, VA 23669 United States STEP #2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (#6 becomes #5, #5 becomes #4, etc.) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list. The MailerTroops is large organization, which operates within a strict set of rules. There are not many rules, but you are expected and required to obey them. From the moment you've sent your first mail to any newsgroup on the net, you are our member and we are monitoring your progress. Your privacy is guaranteed (unless we'll be forced to protect the MailerTroops, as a response to your inappropriate behavior while participating). STEP #3: Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. I think there are close to 48,000 groups on WWW. All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't get much unless you post hard.) This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18: Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the International Postal Code. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, at the start of every month, you can use it again, for free, just to keep your name on the top of the lists. *PLEASE REMEMBER* This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue. If you are of integrity, the money that so many others have received will come your way. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of DOLLARS in CASH! What an opportunity for only $9.00 ($1.00 for each of he first six people listed above and $3.00 for the founder). Send it now. Add your own name to the list and you're in business! Don't forget to spread the word to the people around you (family & friends). ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. 2. Open a blank document and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu, select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into new document so that you can add your name to the list. 3. Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) 4. Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT** Now, is each of the 5 persons who just sent you $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with your name at #5, and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for you, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM postings with your name at #4, and only 5 replies each, it will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with your name at #3, and only receive 5 replies each, it will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with your name at #2, and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with you name at #1, and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react, you will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $9.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take this original message and run it again for free. Only rule you have to respect is that you must send exactly this message (with your name on the sixth position - of course). Do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now! So, can you afford $9.00 and see if it really works? I think so. People have asked, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. Important note: The $ (US Dollar) is not is not required for use as currency. You can also use the British Pound, the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the EURO Dollar, or the DM (Deutsche Mark), but you must respect amount of ONE US DOLLAR or ONE BRITISH POUND, when sending another currency. This rule was inserted when number of users started complaining that they were having problems with the international exchange rates. At that time, in 2000, we've made agreement that we should have more currencies available. Founders note: People all over the world are working hard 8 to 10 hours every day. This is yours chance to be just a little bit smarter and much richer in a very short time. After all, the best part is that in a while, there will be plenty of people who are working for you, being as happy as you are. This system is not by chance, it is founded on good old mail. It is like that for a purpose. You've probably seen FREE OFFERS ON THE NET COMING CONSTANTLY TO YOUR MAIL EVERY DAY... and this system would be a perfect target for advertisement. That's why we don't recognize each another by e-mail, which is not even the idea of this program. Yours truly, Jason A. Szakel Questions mail to: address@hidden Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work! zflwqbvyupjxnzsotslzbnkillldukwybsyzexzfwbymzzggwdzebccfedywjhlrmhpcydigsmtnhygvjsfo

Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (?< at offset 10 in /web1/user42029/website/wp-includes/class-wp-block-parser.php on line 418
OK, it's a new year and English and Welsh vineyards are on a roll. The challenging question is can this upsurge in popular interest be turned into a community of producers and consumers that would be mutually beneficial. One obvious route is to create a smartphone app that tells imbibers and tourists where the nearest vineyards are complete with directions how to get there and access to social networks to see what others think about the vines and wines.
There is no shortage of wine apps. I have a couple of dozen on my iPhone, about half a dozen of which I use regularly. Some, like the excellent ones from Berry Brothers and the Wine Society, enable you to search their corporate archives and buy directly from the phone if you want to. Berry Brothers even have educational videos. But they are mainly about imported wines.
If you want to employ some of the more exciting functions of a mobile phone – like identifying a wine from its label and telling you how much it costs – you will have to use an overseas app (mainly American) such as WineSearcher, Vivino or Delectable. These are very handy if you want to know in a restaurant whether you are being charged three, four or even five times the retail value of the bottle – simply point and click at the label and the price pops up on your screen often with comments from other users.
If you want to know where British vineyards are you can use the excellent UK vineyards map at http://ukvineyards.co.uk/
But if you are on the move and want to know where the nearest vineyards are complete with directions how to get there you will have to use an American app like Winerypedia which in theory works around the globe. I noticed when it started that Chapel Down was on to it pretty quickly. I put up a few vineyards myself and others also started appearing. It accepts user-generated content so could be used as a UK community. It is no where near comprehensive yet but it is worth looking at because it shows what can be done with simple GPS technology. And it's free.
The only English app I know of promoting a range of vineyards is one that was due in December from the South East Vineyard Association which represents many of the most successful vineyards in the country. I paid £2.49 for it at the online Apple Store a few days ago though it seems to have been withdrawn since. Hopefully, this will be to change it because it looks like being a sadly lost opportunity.
Although there are some elegant pictures with text you can get a better (free) map from the UK vineyards offering mentioned earlier. There doesn't seem to be a facility to see how far you are from a vineyard let alone getting directions. One of the aims is to raise money for the Association by charging £2.49 – but this simply won't happen. Apps like this are nearly always free because of an entrenched reluctance by consumers to pay. I deeply regret this fact but it is true. Punters expect all but the most specialised apps (Hugh Johnson may be able to get away with it) to be free leaving the publisher to make money by in-app purchases, adverts or upgrades later. A vineyard app is not an end in itself but a means to promoting vineyards and selling wine. That is where the returns – and the community – will come from. It has to be free upfront.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a community-based app that gave you live directions to the nearest vineyard and enabled you to add your own comments and ratings and see what others were saying about UK wines – complete of course with a buy-button.
Ideally, such an app would be independent of any vested interests as it would obviously contain criticism as well as praise (Think Trip Advisor). Failing that the UK Vineyards Association and English Wine Producers should get together and do it in their collective interest.
It is surely better that we do this ourselves rather than yet again hanging on the coat tails of the US?

Finding the Resources for Health System Transformation - Can it be Done?
Improving palliative care is just one example of the transformations we want to achieve in our health systems. But finding new money to make them happen is tough. Transformation efforts often promise savings and efficiencies to close this gap – but in practice, realizing them seems elusive or impossible. In this session Mr. Jim Easton will reflect on his learning about how resources can be released to drive transformation based on his experience at hospital, system and national levels. The session will include practical, gritty examples of how resources can be released to support improvement, and offer reflection on how even the best leaders need to develop their skills and approaches to achieve this.

Palliative Care is Everybody's Business:
Finding the lens we need for success in Canada
Forty years after establishing our first palliative care programs in Canada and indeed, coining the very phrase "Palliative Care," we must pause and take stock of our current national landscape and ask ourselves: "Has Canada achieved the social transformation we aspired toward?" In this talk, Dr. Marshall will remind us of our current status in Canada and prompt us to consider a lens or two that may be critical for health system transformation for palliative and end-of-life care, as we move forward.

Product Description
Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid that is a potent detoxifier of ammonia and neurotoxins. It encourages the formation of friendly bacteria in the gut.
Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) that has been combined with calcium & magnesium. It is made in the lower colon by bacteria and taken up by the colonocytes, the cells that line the colon. It then becomes an important food for those cells. Lacking good bacteria in our colon, such as when we take antibiotics, can lead to an insufficient supply of butyrate.
Butyrate scrubs & cleans the liver, the gall bladder and the biliary tree. It also cleans the bowel, controls ammonia, removes 'renegade' fats (the very long ones that accumulate with age) and lowers the expression of inflammatory immune markers called cytokines.
Recommended Use
1-2 caps with each meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
|6 Capsules contains:
|480 mg

What Has Improved In Nearly 3 Years Of Treatment
As the new year is getting closer I was trying to think of all of the medical issues with Lyme and all my other illnesses that has improved since treatment. To tell you the truth not much has changed or improved and some things got worse. I have tried oral, IV, injection antibiotics, herbal protocols, diets, holistic….. and the results were never any good.
In the past 3 years I think the only thing that made me feel well enough to walk around the block for 2 days was Mepron. But my Babesia is still alive and well. Other than that I spend everyday locked up in my house under blankets and hydrating with a lot of fluids.
What symptoms have improved?
- Lost The Ability To Walk/ Spine: One of the scariest moments for me was last year when I woke up and went to get out of bed and could not walk. I would walk "like I had no spine" as the neuro told me. It took all my concentration to walk from my room to the couch. I bought a wheelchair and thought I would never walk again. I was due for spinal surgery when I found out the lyme was messing up my spine so surgery would not help. It took about 3-4 weeks but I started to get the feeling back in my lumbar and legs and was able to walk again. I am not safe by any means it can come back at any time but I am thankful I can walk again.
- Facial electric shock: The electric shock feeling I described in a earlier blog post years ago has gone away. Every time I took my first bite of any food or drink I would get this painful electric shock from the bottom of my chin up to the top of my ears. I believe it was my lymph nodes in my face that were swollen and sensitive.
- Epstein Barr Virus: I was diagnosed with this many times and positive on blood work at the ER. The doc said I had chronic EBV or Mono. After taking Byron White EBV formula I am now negative but not sure for how long.
- Chronic Strep Throat: This one was bad and I felt like I had razor blades cutting my throat everyday for years on and off. It was very hard to swallow or eat spicy/acidic/salty foods. It would go away and come back weeks later. Knock on wood I haven't had strep throat in about 8 months.
- Mouth Sores: I would always have mouth sores inside my mouth and on my tongue. This may have been from the thrush/candida I had and maybe from the antibiotics but it has also gone away around the time the strep throat did.
- Red Bumps On Forehead: One of the first things to go away during treatment was the hundreds of red dots on my forehead that made my forehead feel like sandpaper. We thought it was parasites and the Ivermectin finished them off but there was no solid answer of what caused it.
- Ankle Pain From Bart: Bartonella used to be a lot worse and my ankles felt like they were split open with an axe. I would cry myself to sleep at night. After treating for Bart my ankle pain is now about a 5-6 on the pain scale. Much better.
- Seizures/Turrets: I used to have small seizures and turrets twitches in my neck/head. Both of those have improved and I don't twitch as much.
- Candida/C-diff: Antibiotics and aggressive treatment gave me both of these which both were horrible. The candida turned into an external flesh eating monster and did a lot of damage I do not want to speak of or relive. That is why now I am not doing a lot of antibiotics anymore. Both have gone away but the candida is showing up on tests.
What Are My New Symptoms?
- Body Rash: I broke out in a rash all over my body from my thighs to my upper torso. Not one doctor could tell me what it is or what caused it but after 7 months it is starting to go away. The rash was like chicken pox but with red bumps that looked like pimples.
- New Coinfection Proto: My LLMD thinks for sure I have a new coinfection that was missed before. I forget the name we are still testing for it.
That's about all my brain can think of or remember but not much has improved after 3 years and my lyme is still very active. So when the CDC says it can be cured in 2 weeks do not believe them. I've had lyme almost my whole life though so it will take forever before it goes into remission.
I hope all of you chronic illness warriors have a safe and merry Christmas. Keep fighting and never give up hope.

I recently DVR'd a show on the National Geographic Channel called Finding Jack the Ripper, where a retired British police detective investigates the case and attempts to see if he can discover anything new. His name was Trevor Marriott, and apparently this show was actually based on a book he published in 2005 outlining his theories.
I didn't expect to be particularly impressed - it was just a reality docudrama, after all. As it turns out, he made an incredibly well-reasoned and convincing argument for a suspect that - as far as I know - has never been involved in any Jack the Ripper investigations in the past.
Most people, of course, are at least vaguely familiar with the story of Jack the Ripper. To give a brief overview, the story begins on balmy London night in late August, 1888, when a prostitute named Mary Ann Nichols was brutally murdered with a knife. A week later, another prostitute - Annie Chapman - was killed, and her uterus was removed by the murderer.
About three weeks after that, by now the end of September, two more prostitutes were killed on the same night - Elizabeth Stride and Catharine Eddowes. Virtually since the night it happened, there has been disagreement as to whether Elizabeth Stride was actually murdered by Jack the Ripper. Unlike his other victims, she had no mutilations to her body - only her throat was cut. Those who believe she was indeed Jack the Ripper's victim argue that he was interrupted as he went about his deed, and therefore had to find another victim - Catharine Eddowes - whom he killed about 45 minutes later. Others, however, doubt that the murderer could have pulled both murders off in the period of time necessary. Together with the lack of mutilation or other telltale Ripper signs, this leads them to the conclusion that Stride, in fact, was the victim of some other person.
Jack the Ripper's murder spree ended about a month after the double murder of Stride and Eddowes. In the first week of November, 1888, a fifth prostitute - Mary Kelly - was murdered, and her body was mutilated to such a degree as to be hardly recognizable as human. The black and white photograph of her body is, to say the least, highly disturbing.
Following the murder of Mary Kelly, Jack the Ripper disappeared, apparently never to be heard from again. Theories have abounded as to why the murders suddenly stopped, with the most obvious being that the Ripper himself died before he was able to kill again (the Whitechapel district of London, where the murders took place, was NOT a place you wanted to be in the late 1800's - people died there every day from murders and fights and all manner of violent causes).
Over the years, there have been literally hundreds of suspects identified, mostly by amateur enthusiasts and the occasional independent investigator. None has ever garnered widespread support, and I doubt this latest suspect will either. But the argument is an interesting one.
Trevor Marriott, the police detective who has put forth this new suspect, has always believed that Jack the Ripper was most likely a merchant seaman - that is, someone who was frequently coming and going from the nearby shipyards. This would help explain the sudden start to the crimes, the periods of time between murders, and the subsequent abrupt ending to the killing spree. It is also true that many of Whitechapel's prostitutes made their living largely by serving sailors who were temporarily in port. It's not a stretch to imagine that the murderer might have been a sailor, and this has been a popular theory almost since the time of the original investigation.
Starting from this point, Marriott began investigating possible suspects. He eventually centered on a German sailor named Carl Feigenbaum.
Who is Carl Feigenbaum?
Well, nobody, really. He was executed in 1896 for murdering a woman in New York City, and while his lawyer claimed in an interview on the day of the execution that he believed Feigenbaum was Jack the Ripper, no one took him seriously and Feigenbaum was more or less forgotten as a suspect. Until Trevor Marriott came along, anyway.
Marriott discovered that Feigenbaum had, in fact, worked for a German merchant shipping company in the 1880's, ending his stint there in the early 1890's before settling in the U.S.A.
Combing through the records of this shipping company, Marriott was able to determine the exact dates in which Feigenbaum had been employed - and the dates included the late summer and early autumn of 1888.
He was further able to comb the shipping records of the port in London where he believes the Ripper would have been based. His first goal was to find out if any one ship - of any nationality - was in port on each of the days the Ripper struck. He found only one ship that met this criteria, but it was only in port on 3 of the 4 murder days (recall that two murders took place on the same day, resulting in 5 victims killed on 4 different days).
This ship, as it turns out, was a ship owned and operated by the company Feigenbaum was employed by, and it was a ship that he was known to have worked on.
Furthermore, on the 4th day in question - the day in which the first ship was not in port - there was ANOTHER ship of the same company that was in port.
This means that the shipping company which Feigenbaum worked for in late 1888 had ships in port on each of the days of the Ripper murders. Furthermore, there were other Ripper-like murders around Europe and North America in the few years following the Whitechapel murders, and in each of those cases, Marriott was able to confirm that a ship of this German merchant company had been in port at the time. Ultimately, he identified something like 20 different Ripper-like murders (including the 5 in London) that occurred in large cities around the world, beginning in 1888 with the Ripper murders and going up through 1892, in which ships of this German shipping line were in dock at the time of the murder.
I don't know about you, but that's a pretty amazing discovery, particularly considering that it seems to be exactly this period - about 1888 to 1892 - that Feigenbaum was working for the shipping company in question.
Marriott's next step was to see if he could actually confirm that Feigenbaum was on these ships when they were in port. Finding those records could conceivably prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Feigenbaum was, in fact, Jack the Ripper. The coincidence would be too great.
Fortunately, the company in question kept very detailed records of the men who worked on their London-bound ships. However, the company's records from the three months in which the Ripper murders took place in London were mysteriously absent from the archives. This was true despite the fact that, apparently, the records before and after that stretch were relatively complete. Marriott has theorized that perhaps Feigenbaum's lawyer got possession of them, although that's purely speculation. What is not speculation is that the records which could conclusively confirm or deny whether Feigenbaum was in London on the days of the murders have been lost.
After Feigenbaum's stint as a merchant seaman, he seems to have settled in the U.S. and worked as a florist in Wisconsin before ultimately moving, about 1894, to New York City. It was there that he eventually murdered a woman and was sentenced to death for it. The murder was very much "Ripper style," with a long-bladed knife used to slit the woman's throat with a double slash. The long-bladed knife and the double slash throat cut are two of the hallmarks of the Ripper murders. The woman's body was not mutilated, but that could be because Feigenbaum was caught in the act by her son and forced to run. He was later caught by police.
As noted above, Feigenbaum's lawyers told newspapers on the day of Feigenbaum's execution that he believed Feigenbaum could be connected to Jack the Ripper. He went on to say that he would "stake [his] professional reputation" that a proper investigation would tie Feigenbaum to London and Whitechapel in late 1888.
He also told the press that Feigenbaum had confided to him that he had "suffered for years" from an "all absorbing passion" that caused him to want to brutally murder and mutilate women. When this "passion" came on him, Feigenbaum apparently said, he was "unable to control" himself.
This, of course, is perfectly consistent with what criminal psychologists would now recognize as the hallmark of a serial killer - the uncontrollable urge to kill.
Feigenbaum's lawyer went on to say that he had looked up some of the dates of the Ripper murders, and then asked Feigenbaum about where he was on those dates, without telling him why he wanted to know. Feigenbaum, said his lawyer, confirmed that he was in London on the days in question.
This story apparently made a minor sensation at the time, and was reported in many newspapers around the country, but the theory never caught on, and within a few years, Carl Feigenbaum had basically passed out of the consciousness of Ripper investigators and enthusiasts.
Marriott finalized his theory by asserting that the Ripper-like murders which had been taking place in various places around the world during the late 1880's and early 1890's pretty much ended after the arrest and execution of Carl Feigenbaum. As a final piece to the puzzle, that certainly seems to seal the deal.
However, as one can imagine, many experts are still not convinced. I found a website devoted to the case where the author analyzed Marriott's conclusions extensively and ultimately stated that he thought Marriott was wrong.
Without those all important records that actually show Feigenbaum's name as part of the crew of a ship that was actually in port during these various murders, it is difficult to say that the "case is closed."
I personally have always found it odd that so many Ripper enthusiasts seem to assume that the murderer must have moved on to some other place and kept on murdering. Invariably, this "other place" always ends up being America, and it's not an accident that the enthusiasts who tend to support these theories are American. The case is so fascinating to so many people that it almost seems as though American enthusiasts resent that the murders happened in London and want desperately to be able to claim Jack the Ripper as their own.
In all likelihood, Jack the Ripper was some tramp who lived on the streets of Whitechapel, snapped one day and started murdering, then ended up dead himself in a bar fight or a mugging, or was perhaps arrested and put in jail for some other unrelated crime, and thus passed out of history without anyone ever knowing any better. That's the simplest answer, anyway, and the simplest answer is usually the right one.
Still, this newest theory about Carl Feigenbaum is noteworthy simply because it seems, on the surface anyway, to have some solid evidence behind it, even if that evidence is only circumstantial.

Kavanaugh promised to take steps to remedy the lack of representation of females as law clerks on the Supreme Court and it looks like he went above and beyond to make good on that promise.
Brett Kavanaugh made history on Sunday with his first actions as a newly sworn-in Supreme Court justice: He appointed an all-female law clerk staff.
After a vicious, hyperpartisan "circus" of a confirmation process, the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh Saturday in a bipartisan vote of 50-48, which included West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin and key swing-vote Republicans Susan Collins and Jeff Flake (Lisa Murkowski voted "present").
On Sunday, Kavanaugh began the process of getting familiar with the arguments the court will be hearing this month, and, as the New York Times reports, he did so by meeting with his historic collections of clerks.
"Justice Kavanaugh met with his four law clerks, all women — a first for the Supreme Court — in chambers that had until recently been occupied by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who has moved to Justice Anthony M. Kennedy's old chambers," the Times reports.

Definition - What does Viparyaya mean?
Viparyaya is a Sanskrit word meaning "reversed," "absence," "non-existence" or "loss of consciousness." The term refers to wrong knowledge that stems from incorrect thoughts or perceptions and is one of the five kleshas.
By developing concentration through meditation and increasing self-awareness via a yoga practice, yogis can become aware of and correct viparyaya.
Yogapedia explains Viparyaya
Yogis can perceive knowledge incorrectly through personal and cultural biases or misunderstanding of the truth. Viparyaya can lead to impurities of the mind such as egoism, hate, fear of death, attachment and ignorance.
By cultivating awareness of viparyaya, yogis can correct wrong thinking before it becomes destructive or leads to strengthening the kleshas. Many yogis believe that if they ask the mind for assistance in discerning viparyaya, the mind will help to correct the misperceptions.

Don't take too long getting lunch for Kanye West – or he'll fire you on the spot!
That's exactly what happened to one of his trusty London drivers when he was sent out with the star's private chef to pick up lunch from Selfridges Food Hall.
Kanye's practically been living in London of late, where he's working on new music and staying at a swanky five-star hotel.
Recently Kanye wanted food quick-smart – and he wasn't taking any prisoners getting it...
My impeccable source in Camp Kanye tells me: "He employs 10 or so people. Three bodyguards, a number of drivers and his own personal chef Jennifer goes everywhere with him to cook whatever he wants on-site.
"Kanye decided he wanted a Selfridges lunch and sent the driver out. Obviously, he's never heard of the Tube... and London suffers from horrendous traffic.
"The driver left at 1pm and didn't make it back until 3pm when the head of security told him: 'I'm sorry but I'm going to have to let you go. You took too long and Kanye got pi**ed off. He was really hungry.'"
Now said driver is considering taking Kanye to court.
Nothing we haven't come to expect from the self-proclaimed "saviour of music".
And it's a case of step aside J-Lo and Mariah when diva Kanye comes to town – his riders when he performs have become increasingly amusing. Stories have surfaced in Australia that Kanye insists on organic-only food, Versace towels and that all man-made fibres are banned from being worn in his presence. The Gold Digger singer also lost his rag and had a fan ejected after a business card was thrown on-stage in Washington.
The numpty threatened to have a whole section of the audience booted out after claiming the act was life-threatening. He picked up the card and yelled: "Who's card is this? We are risking our lives up here. You can't go throwing s*** that we are gonna slip on."
Sounds like someone needs to come back down to Earth, Kanye.

China military tests new battle tank in Tibet near Indian border
When asked whether it is targeted against India, the PLA spokesman said, "The purpose is to test the parameters of the equipment and is not targeted against any country."
Published: 29th June 2017 09:10 PM | Last Updated: 29th June 2017 09:10 PM | A+A A-
BEIJING: The Chinese military today said it has conducted trials of a new light weight battle tank in the remote Himalayan region of Tibet near the Indian border.
The 35-tonne tank has carried out trials in the plains of Tibet, People's Liberation Army spokesman Col Wu Qian said at a media briefing here. He was responding to questions about media reports that the PLA had carried out an exercise involving a new type of 35-tonne light weight tank in Tibet.
When asked whether it is targeted against India, the PLA spokesman said, "The purpose is to test the parameters of the equipment and is not targeted against any country."
Though Wu did not provide details of the new light weight battle tank, Chinese news site Guancha recently reported that the PLA had tested the tank named Xinqingtan, in an area of Tibet near the Indian border. An integrated brigade of the PLA in Tibet deployed an unidentified number of the new tanks, US-based United Press International news agency quoted the Chinese state-owned television network CCTV as saying.
Guancha stated the Xinqingtan's technology and firepower is "far more advanced" than the Russia-made T-90S tanks deployed by India.
The deployment of the tanks expands the Tibet-based unit and has increased their fighting power, the news site reported. The Xinqingtan includes a 105-millimeter tank gun, a 35- millimeter grenade launcher and a 12.7-millimeter machine gun. The guns have already been adjusted to a high angle so they are ready for mountain operations, the report said.
The tank is relatively light at 35-38 tons. It produces 1,000 horsepower on an 8V150-type engine, the report said.

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate for Ikeja Constituency, Hon. Mutiu Kunle Okunola on Saturday said President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has become a warehouse for corrupt politicians.
He said all the politicians who defected from PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) did so to get succour and cover up for their corruption cases.
Speaking with Daily Trust during a house-to-house campaign in Ikeja starting from Ojodu-Berger, Okunola who is seeking to unseat the incumbent Hon. James Faleke, vowed that the PDP would reject what he called the "obnoxious" actions of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allegedly rig the elections in favour of the APC.
Okunola insisted that he defeated Faleke in the 2015 election but the result was altered at the collation centre, adding that he was prepared and ready to thwart any form of rigging because the people are behind him.
Dear valued readers, subscribe to the Daily Trust e-paper to continue enjoying our diet of authoritative news. Kindly subscribe here
He said the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would deliver the changes Nigerians are yearning for.
"We are skeptical about INEC and we will be looking at them. We will reject all their obnoxious moves to rig our elections and we are ever ready because it is the people that are talking this time around.
"All the corrupt people in Nigeria today in PDP have all defected to APC including the recently accused Deputy National Chairman of our party. He has defected to APC and Buhari is a warehouse for corruption in Nigeria".
He promised to religiously implement his manifestoes which bother on women and youth empowerment, saying he has already opened a constituency office adding that the office could be burnt down if he failed to deliver on his promise.
"My phone number is there, my constituency office is there, it is my personal property, if I didn't do well, people can burn it down. I am ready for the people of Ikeja; I want to represent them and I want to make the change a positive one for that matter.
"I have a programme for the youth, I have for women empowerment, I have for the aged, I have for the oppressed in the society. I am a business man", he added.
According to him, Ikeja constituency deserves a facelift and promised to facilitate this if elected.
"We have to give Ikeja a facelift in terms of tarring of all the roads in the wards and constituencies in Ikeja. If you go to Ikeja, you find out that most of the roads were tarred in about 15, 20 years ago; the other ones are face-lifting.
"They have not constructed new roads, no new bridges to link. Look at Omole Phase One to the Express road, they ought to have put an overhead bridge," he said.

Development of Banks in India: from Ancient to Recent!
During the post-independence period, India is well- served by a network of development banks, at the national as well as state levels.
The Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), the first development bank of the country, was established in 1948.
Gradually, many other financial institutions were set up.
Development banks in India may be classified into three groups:
(I) Industrial development banks, (II) Agricultural development banks, and (III) Export-import development bank.
Industrial development banks may further be divided into two groups: (A) All-India institutions, and (B) State- level institutions.
At present, there are five all-India industrial development banks. These are:
(1) The Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI)
(2) the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI)
(3) the Industrial Reconstruction Bank of India (IRBI)
(4) the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC)
(5) the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI)
The first four institutions are owned by the state, while the last one (i.e., ICICI) is a private sector institution. All these institutions, excepting the NSIC, cater to the financial and development needs of the large industries, while the NSIC deals with the small-scale industries.
An institution called the National Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) was established by the Government of India in 1954 for the promotion and development of industries in India. In the beginning, it provided some finance to the jute and cotton textile industries. But primarily being a development agency, today it functions only as consulting agency.
The state-level industrial development banks include; (i) the State Financial Corporation's (SFCs) numbering 18 today, (ii) the State Industrial Development Corporations (SIDCs), and (iii) the State Industrial Investment Corporations (SIICs).
Likewise, agricultural development banks are classified into:
(a) All-India level, (b) State-level, and (c) Local- level institutions.
At present, there is only one all-India level agricultural development bank called the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). Originally, there was the Agricultural Refinance and Development Corporation (ARDC), established in 1963 to provide medium and long-term finance for the development of agriculture. It was replaced by the NABARD in 1982.
At the state level, there are the State Land Development Banks (SLDBs), formerly known as Central Land Mortgage Banks, for supplying medium and long term credit to agriculture. Further, at the local level, there are primary land development banks and the branches of SLDBs.
For promoting and developing exports and imports, an all-India level institution called Export-import Bank of India (Exim Bank) was established in 1982.
The structure of development banks in India is outlined in Chart 1.
Term-Financing Institutions:
Usually, the expression "term-financing institution" is used by the Reserve Bank of India and the IDBI to refer to the following group of institutions: Development banks like IFCI, IDBI, ICICI, IRCI, SFCs, and SIDCs. SIICs plus the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), the General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) and its subsidiaries, and the Unit Trust of India (UTI).
The LIC, the GIC and the UTI are the specialised forms of financial institutions in the capital market of India. They are distinct from the development banks, as they just play a role of providing industrial finance in the form of loans, underwriting and investment, but do not have direct responsibility to promote industrial development.

Here's a memo to all those Akothee bashers out there
Wednesday March 18 2020
There are confident women, and then there is Akothee. Akothee, the self-proclaimed 'queen of Kanungo' and the 'president of single mothers' is Kenya's most controversial female musician.
To describe Akothee in a paragraph or even in 700 words would take a literary feat — one of Shakespearean magnitude — because only a 300-page book can do justice to her verve and buoyancy. But to write it, one has to retire to a cabin in remote Timau to pour out their soul on paper just to adequately describe this incredible woman, who is so full of life and confidence.
She is a hurricane of a woman, bubbling with intense energy and vim, and a proud single mother of five, whom she bore with different men — mostly rich, older, white men, going by her admission on social media. Her social media accounts are as colourful as her life. They are often punctuated by glossy pictures of her Cindy-Crawford-ish legs, clad in bright-coloured bikinis. You will also find pictures of her at the back of mean-machines, or even flying business class and drinking champagne. Akothee's Instagram account is a comedy show, filled with inspirational texts for fans and witty retorts to her legion of haters. My all-time favourite Akothee one-liner was when a fan asked: "How do you get these rich men you have?"
To which she responded: "Just the same way you meet the poor ones. There is no formula!"
Her energy was recently displayed in its full splendour at the One Africa Music Festival in London. But Kenyans, in their usual element, conveniently ignored the fact that Akothee was the only Kenyan musician among top rated African musicians such as WizKid, Diamond Platnumz and Awilo Longomba, and instead chose to focus on her costume.
What followed was a series of nasty social media posts attempting to bully her out of her confidence. An idle and malicious Kenyan juxtaposed Akothee's picture in her costume against Nigeria's Yemi Alade (also a breath-taking beauty), and captioned it "Nigerians please give us Yemi Alade and we'll give you Akothee..." The tweet went viral.
It was clearly meant to shame and embarrass a hard-working woman. Only fve years ago, nobody knew Akothee's name yet now she is on the international stage commanding a legion of fans. I wonder what the person who tweeted this has achieved in the past five years — save for writing that tweet, of course.
However, what was meant to shame Akothee completely backfired when she came out guns blazing, sparing no hater on her path. In a lengthy and utterly hilarious social media tweet, Akothee called out her haters and left them with a one liner #CallPolis. Yes, Akothee told her haters to call the police should they feel offended by her attire, her music and her lifestyle.
True, Akothee may not be the conventional "beautiful" light-skinned woman with a sizeable derriere and a shiny, bouncy weave. She may also not be the best singer we have around (the jury is still out on whether she can sing or not). You may not agree with her lifestyle and her choices. However, whatever issue you may have with Akothee, you ought to respect one thing about her; her diligence, tenacity and staying power are admirable traits.
Many hate Akothee not because they don't enjoy her music, but because she is different. She has risen above circumstances and she has chosen, nay, decided to succeed in life no matter what.
Many hate her confidence, that she could be so confident in her own way, that she can wear whatever she likes and dance as if nobody is watching — and still drive home in the back seat of a fuel-guzzler. Some just hate her guts. I mean, how dare she be so gutsy, confident and bold.
If you ask me — considering her hard work and effort — Akothee is a far much better role model to young people than the many politicians and "business magnates" we worship. And, if Akothee still offends you, my friend, I have two words for you. As she says, Call polis!

6 Practical Truck Buying Tips
If you want to upgrade your delivery fleet with new models, browsing around for medium duty trucks in Miami is a good first step. Before you part with your money, though, here are a few buying tips to help you along:
Determine your needs
Do you need one designed with enough handling capacity to handle a ton of loads? Or do you want a mid-size trailer or truck to haul equipment around for your business. Find out whatever your organization needs and go from there.
Keep to your budget
With so many options out there, you might have a tough time filtering your choice to just one or two. Start by taking your budget into account. The last thing you want is to overspend. Do your research and shop around so you have an idea how much the makes and models you want go for in the market.
Trade your old one
You could also look into doing a trade-in with your old one to help cut down on buying costs. That way, you have more space for the new addition to your fleet.
Consider fuel economy
Go for the truck that provides you the best in terms of fuel economy. It can be tempting to go for a lot of bonuses like huge towing capacity and a lot of extra space for cargo. But if those aren't necessary, then you'll simply end up paying more for your gas. Pick a truck that's ideal for what you already need instead of picking one out based on what you might need in the future. That also includes investing in a good diesel engine if you're going to be doing some heavy hauling or towing, Consumer Reports says.
Check seating access
Is it easy to get in and out of the cabin or is it awkward and inconvenient? Check if there's enough space for you and your passengers. Do you have enough elbow room, for instance? If you keep bumping your head, leg or knee against any part of the truck, then you better look for something roomier.
Review the safety features
Over the last few years, safety features in trucks have seen a great deal of improvement. Determine the safety features you can't live without and keep them in mind when you shop around for medium duty trucks in Miami.
With practical buying tips, finding the ideal one should be easy. For more information, talk to us at RC Truck Sales.

(CNSNews.com) - 1,148,000 fewer Americans held jobs this November than did seven years ago in November 2006, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Back then, according to BLS, 145,534,000 Americans held jobs. This November, according to BLS, only 144,386,000 Americans hold jobs. That is a drop of 1,148,000 in the number of Americans working.
This decline in the number of Americans who actually have jobs has come even though the size of the nation's civilian noninstitutional population and the size of the nation's civilian labor force have both grown significantly over the last seven years.

It doesn't take more than a few stanzas of Austin & Lindsey Adamec's self-titled debut EP for the listener to recognize that the Adamec duo know what they are doing. With strong individual careers from which to draw experience, it is unsurprising that the couple's first release unfolds with apparent effortlessness.
"Walk On Waves," the title track and opening song, is an obvious radio hit. Sensibly released almost two weeks before the rest of the EP, the song delivers every ounce of spirit that the pair proclaim has been essential to both their relationship and the decision to undertake this current project. And, while potentially lacking the same degree of inspiration, the rest of the release avoids becoming a top heavy offering by focusing on meaning over musicianship. "It Is Finished," "Maker Of Miracles" and "Lost in You" each highlight the joy that can be found in faithfully following the footsteps of Christ.
For instance, on the last of the aforementioned tracks, the couple sings sweetly in a frequently utilized vocal duet, " I'm swept away / I'm yours to take / My heart is found / Lost in you." "Infinite Grace" functions to maintain message and tone, while the bonus track, "Oh Liberty," surprises with an upbeat close. All in all, Austin & Lindsey Adamec EP is tailor-made for mainstream Christian music. Designed to slide seamlessly into a radio playlist or find a place in contemporary service set lists, each song stays simple to fulfill such purposes. So what's the catch? This is the unfortunate flipside to the Adamecs' expertise: the EP is safe. By constructing modest chord progressions and harmonies, Austin and Lindsey write the likeable songs that they know they can. Consequently, with each spin of the album, I longed for a break from the conventional, a refrain that boasted the kind of unevenness that unbridled creativity often imparts. Luckily, I believe such performances are on the horizon.
At the end of the day, the strength of the combined vocals of these two talented musicians, and the dedication to the faithful delivery of a heartfelt testimony, validate a thoughtful and relevant release. Whether during worship service, on the car radio, or at the top of your favorite playlist, I expect we will all be hearing more from Austin & Lindsey Adamec very soon.- Review date: 3/24/16, written by Jeremy Barnes of Jesusfreakhideout.com

Agricultural Economics Department
Date of this Version
September 2005
Published in Cornhusker Economics, 09/07/2005. Produced by the Cooperative Extension, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
The themes which have been applied to Brazilian agriculture include "a growing agricultural giant," and "the future of modern agriculture." I had the opportunity to visit Brazil and observe some of their agriculture first hand in August. There is always a danger of making general observations based on limited time in a country and a limited area covered. But this two-week visit left me with some observations to consider as we think about the structure of global agriculture in the future.

RIO DE JANEIRO — From the favela to the top of the podium, Rafael Silva earned Brazil's first gold medal of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
Silva, the country's first female world champion in judo, won the 57-kilogram division of the Japanese martial art on Monday as the crowd chanted "Rafa" and waved the green and yellow Brazilian flags.
The 24-year-old Silva beat Sumiya Dorjsuren of Mongolia after two days of disappointment on the mat for Brazil.
She also settled an old Olympic score. At the 2012 London Games, Silva was disqualified for an illegal leg grab during a fight against Hedvig Karakas of Hungary. This time, it was Silva who advanced from their quarterfinal match.
Silva, who is from Brazil's largest favela and trained at a judo dojo founded by former Olympic bronze
"Everybody here knows Rafaela's history," said Eduardo Colli, a Brazilian fan watching the final in the stands. "This is more than just a medal, it's a victory for poor people. It's hope for all of them."
The women's bronze medals went to Kaori Matsumoto of Japan — the defending Olympic champion — and Telma Monteiro of Portugal.
With its strong martial arts culture — including many shared techniques between Brazilian jiu jitsu, mixed martial arts and judo — Brazil had been expected to do well early on in the judo competition.
But defending Olympic champion Sarah Menezes narrowly lost out on a bronze on Saturday in the 48kg category, and so did Erika Miranda at 52kg on Sunday.
