STAR of the Month: Munga gives his views on social responsibility
T here is an unspoken pressure on recording artistes to portray themselves as leaders and role models to future generations.
On this, dancehall-reggae artiste Munga asked: "Role model to who? Is it a responsibility to be a role model?"
The question of trying times and the role of music in those times also point towards an artiste's social responsibility.
Munga puts forward that an artiste's social responsibility is as much as the next person's, and that they are already fulfilling their roles by catering to the people with basic sounds and lyrics.
"People can't give me as an artiste their social responsibilities to grow their children and make money at the same time," he said. "My duty is to focus on mine and all artistes have their own social responsibilities."
Speaking to philanthropy, he noted that is a personal choice of any artiste or person.
"Not saying what they say in their music or deejay about is right, but giving a clear view as an artiste, if they are singing about what they know, then probably philanthropy is not what they know or was not in their background. For the most part, they were taught to survive," he said.
The conversation segues into the type of songs being produced, and Munga believes the supply is all about the demand.
"If there was nobody listening to gun music or sex music, then nobody would be singing those types of music, so it all comes back to supply and demand," Munga told THE STAR.
He says the current crop of recording artistes represent the time and space in which they were born and raised.
"Three quarter of the artistes of this generation are 90s or 2000s babies, so the music them born come to hear is of a different tune and beat like pop and hip-hop," he said.
Humming the tune of Natural Mystic, he expressed that present-day music does not bear similarities to that of the greats like Bob Marley.
"So people will not hear music that sounds like his music, that's not the tempo them live in," he said.

Climbing peaks pays off for wildflower enthusiasts
Peak climbing is an exhilarating, beautiful and challenging experience. The expansive vistas and wide-open spaces stir the soul. And as you break above treeline, you get the feeling that you've just entered a strange and magical world. This special place is known as the alpine tundra. Trees don't grow in the alpine tundra because the climate is too harsh and cold. Instead of mighty spruce and fir, the landscape yields highly specialized dwarfed plants that are found only on mountain tops or in arctic extremes.
These plants have adapted to cope with frequent freezes, high winds and scorching sun. Since the growing season is short at high elevations, many species bloom at once creating a carpet of flowers blanketing entire mountainsides in green, yellow, pink, white, purple and blue.Often when you first break out of the trees, the landscape is thick alpine turf, dominated by grass-like sedges that give the feeling of a luxuriant lawn. This is where you want to keep your eyes peeled for the alpine sunflower also known as "the old man of the mountain." These big yellow bright-eyed flowers splash festive color across the mountainside. It takes several years for the alpine sunflower to gather enough stored fuel to bloom. It then disperses its seeds and dies.A bit further up the trail as the landscape becomes more exposed, watch for a mat of tiny blue flowers with yellow centers clinging low to the ground. These are the highly prized alpine forget-me-nots.
The leaves of this plant are covered with thick woolly hairs that help the plant diffuse intense sunlight and retain heat on cold nights and stormy days.As you climb further, you come across strange snake-like clumps of dirt around the side of the trail. These are the castings left by a pocket gopher as it chewed and burrowed its way through the root layer of the vegetation. Interestingly, the pocket gopher acts like nature's roto-tiller and several brilliant species of wildflowers grow in its wake. Among them is the bright blue sky pilot, which emits the strong odor of a skunk. Gopher gardens also support red-wine colored king's crowd and bright yellow alpine avens.
In the most exposed areas, plants grow low in dense, moss-like cushions. The plant's strategy is to cling low to the earth so it stays warmer, loses little water and is less exposed to high winds. A great cushion plant to discover is the bright pink moss-campion. The cushion is so dense that blowing sands and debris are caught in its crevices, and over time, it accumulates soil and enables other alpine plants to grow from its fertile cushion.These are just a few alpine gems that grow locally. An alpine landscape at the height of bloom is a magical sight. The first three weeks of July are generally the best time to view alpine wildflowers, so try to plan a special hike into the high country.Tom and Tanya Wiesen are owners of Trailwise Guides.

4 Ways to Make Dining Out Better For Your Body
Eating out is a convenient way to get quick delicious meals. Whether you are visiting a fast food joint or a sit-down restaurant, you are presented with a variety of food options. But what happens when those food options have a negative effect on your health? A study reports that Americans consume 200 more calories when dining out than they do when cooking at home.
While most are aware of the health effects associated with fast food, we are naïve to the fact that our favorite restaurant can potentially have more health effects than those fast food joints. Eating out on occasion is OK, but when it becomes more frequent then it makes it hard to maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
So how does dining out affect your health? Not only do you take in more fat, but more sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Americans consume more cholesterol at dine-in restaurants than they do when they cook at home.
While dining out offers tasty eats the calorie intake is high. Women should consume 2000 calories a day and 1500 a day if they want to lose a pound a week; while men should consume 2500 calories a day and 2000 a day if they want to lose a pound a week. Unfortunately, and depending on where you are dining at you may be consuming your daily intake in one sitting. This means you will eat more than the calories needed by the end of the day.

If you read our suggestions on how to discover the best moment to start your outdoor crop, you likely have waited for the nice weather where you can stay and to show the best temperature to begin growing. Predicated on the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, 20-yr projections on electric use in both Washington and Colorado throughout the within cannabis creation industry suggest the common annual use of 185-300 megawatts That's soon add up to the annual electric use greater than 200,000 homes in america.
Depending on the kind of seeds and the way in which you're germinating them, it requires between 12 and 72 hours to allow them to sprout. Germination is only the task to finding a seed in the dormant condition to sprout. Jiffy Pellets are positioned in an similar way to Rockwool cubes, though these have a tendency to get far better germination results.
Gently grab the cannabis seed with a set of tweezers and stick it taproot (directed end) down in the bottom of the opening. Before we get into details let's get an important factor directly, cannabis should be germinated in darkness, to obtain a damned fool or a liar would recommend germinating your coffees in the light.
From running a family-owned store called the Hydroponics Store in Gilroy, California, to providing as a columnist for a internationally distributed hydroponics publication for five years, Deonna appears forward to showing the industry that not only do women have a spot in it, nonetheless they can also dominate!
It grows as being a weed, which is wonderful for newbie growers and first-time planters. Each condition has laws and regulations regulating cannabis concentrates, medibles, tinctures, hashish, butane honey gas, and other cannabis products. Autoflowering growers get the most success using their vegetation use hydroponics bottom level diet that automatically balance pH.
Times 16-30ish – By day 16 you need to be able to provide you with the plants an entire dosage of FF Grow Big. Sea of green is well-liked by commercial cultivators, as it reduces the amount of time a seed spends in vegetative stage, and allows quite effective light distribution, keeping the vegetation much closer to the lamps than when produced to full size.
Home removal of resin from family cannabis must maintain conformity with Washington Condition medical rules (RCW 69.50.450). Keep CFLs or fluorescent light about 6 in . from your seedlings. Substitute for Solitary Glass: Start vegetation in seedling cube. It's important at the moment never to allow cube dried out completely or to be too waterlogged.
THEREFORE I am detailing how easy seed germination reaches videos and probably a few blog postings about germinating cannabis seed products too. Hydroponic systems are decidedly more challenging to use for the newbie or hobby grower, as over-fertilization is common, since there is no soil to do something as a nutritional buffer.
Exactly available, yes you work I nourish them once with basic PH standard water and then with Those Bloom diet, but that depends upon the strain plus your growing conditions, which is my take, therefore you have to be sure of a great deal to get the right amounts for your exact stress.

An analysis of interesting news stories from the past week:
Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe Wins Confucian Peace Prize
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe was just awarded the Confucius Peace Prize. Created in 2010 as a response to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Peace Prize, the Confucius Peace Prize has been awarded to a number of controversial figures in past years, including Fidel Castro and Vladimir Putin.
Although the judges maintain that the rationale for Mugabe's win is that he is "the founding leader of Zimbabwe" and that he has improved the political and economic stability of the country, he set up authoritarian rule in Zimbabwe and used brutal tactics to suppress his challengers, garnering him a reputation as a dictator. Westerners often criticize Mugabe's tactics, but some of his most vehement opposition comes from Zimbabweans themselves, who quickly took to twitter to voice their anger at his Confucius Peace Prize win.
China, along with some other Asian countries, has often asserted that human rights as defined by the West do not address Asian culture and as such do not entirely apply to China. Instead, the China insists that it has an equally valid system of rights that is rooted in Confucianism. The PRC often interprets Western insistence on universal human rights as an infringement of sovereignty and a form of cultural imperialism.
Perhaps a Confucian Peace Prize is a useful tool for teaching other countries about the Confucian value of harmony and how it can be used to create a more peaceful future. Unfortunately, when the PRC selects leaders like Mugabe as the recipient, who is even criticized by his fellow Zimbabweans, it erodes the authority and legitimacy of the Confucius Peace Prize in the eyes of the global community and makes the prize seem like a political tool for retaliation against the West rather than an intrinsically valid recognition of peace-building.
Of course, the Nobel Peace Prize is not without controversy either, and many critics in China would accuse the Nobel committee of deliberately provoking China when it selected Liu Xiaobo in 2010 or the Dalai Lama in 1989 as the recipients for that prize. Many people also opposed President Obama's selection in 2009, arguing that his use of drones and engagement in two wars at the time of the award should have prohibited him from winning.
That's not to say that controversial figures should not win peace prizes, but if China-US relations are to improve, the selection committees for these kinds of prizes need to wield their power responsibly and select receipts based on merit rather than using the award as a mechanism for achieving a political aim.
China Offers Free Maoist Theory Course Online
China has recently begun to offer online courses on edX, an online education platform hosted by Harvard and MIT. One such course, titled "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought", is offered by Tsinghua University, and is a condensed version of a mandatory course in all Chinese universities. The course was initially very popular and was viewed in more than 125 countries, but many of the students felt that the course was essentially a propaganda piece that promoted Maoism without discussing any of the historical controversies surrounding Mao's rule.
Some students found that the course was enlightening and gave them a better insight into why Mao is so highly revered in China. Various Chinese students who took the course argued that although it may be propaganda, it actually offered foreign students an authentic taste of what education is like in China, which has its own intrinsic value. A number of US-based China scholars have even go as far as to suggest that edX discontinue the course, arguing that the platform should never have agreed to host such a blatant piece of propaganda in the first place. EdX will continue to host the course, as their policy is to only remove courses with offensive or illegal content.
In recent years, the PRC has made an effort to promote China internationally and increase China's "soft power" around the world, which is especially visible in the promulgation of Confucius Institutes. The recent move to offer online courses seems to be an effort to emulate the US's ability to attract foreign student to its world-renowned education system through schools and universities.
Although China's soft power is growing worldwide, it still lags behind America's global influence on contemporary culture. Many Americans (as well as citizens of other countries) are open to learning about China; clearly, Chinese language courses are extremely popular in US universities and they will only continue to attract more students. However, as soon as students get a sense that they are being fed propaganda, it can be a deterrent. The sooner the PRC recognizes that propaganda is increasingly less effective (especially with the growth of social media and the widespread availability of information), the more success China will have at promoting its soft power.
Prince Charles Skips Xi Jinping Banquet
Prince Charles has chosen not to attend the Banquet hosted at Buckingham Palace. Though he has not discussed it with the press, Prince Charles is known to have very close ties with the Dalai Lama and has snubbed China related events in the past. He will meet with President Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan twice during their visit to the UK, but will skip the dinner, probably in an effort to signify his disapproval of China's human rights record in Tibet
Ever since Prime Minister David Cameron met with the Dalai Lama in 2012, he and the chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne have worked to develop closer ties to the PRC. The US is troubled by the UK's close relationship with China, especially as the UK was the first Western country to sign on to the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which has been met with disapproval by the US.
Although the UK is providing a grand welcome to President Xi, Prince Charles stance depicts some ongoing internal struggles that the UK grapples with in engaging with China. The UK and the US both have to strike a delicate balance between maintaining business opportunities with the PRC, upholding universal human rights values, and pleasing constituents on the domestic front.
Xi Jinping Visits the UK:
President Xi plans to visit to the UK. Recently, the Sino-UK relationship has evolved to become increasingly pragmatic and focused primarily on Britain's economic ties with China. Since 2012, when Prime Minister David Cameron met with the Dalai Lama, he has handed the China portfolio over to the British chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, who is focused on finance and investment.
The UK has been accused of prioritizing business at the expense of other more contentious issues such as cyber security and human rights. Indeed, pundits expect that Xi and Cameron will be able to strike at least two deals next week, chief among them is securing Chinese investment in a British nuclear power station, which has drawn criticism from people concerned with China's involvement in UK national security.
The topic of how Western leaders ought to best engage with China has emerged as a popular subject of discussion in the media recently, especially as we draw nearer to the US Presidential election, and as President Xi will have embarked on two major state visits in the US and UK within the past few months. It seems to be a very delicate balancing act between the "carrot and stick"; US and UK politicians must maintain and develop new opportunities to engage with the PRC economically, but must also chastise the PRC on its human rights record and security issues to satisfy constituents. Clearly, US presidential candidates have leaned toward criticizing China, whereas UK politicians have sidestepped more controversial issues in order to embrace China as a business partner. Even President Obama, who no longer needs to engage in China-bashing rhetoric to impress voters, has not sought Chinese business as overtly as the UK.
In dealing with the PRC, there really are no easy answers. The US clearly needs to do a better job of strengthening and investing in the Sino-US relationship, and could learn from the UK's example. On the other hand, the critics do have a point; the global community must enforce standards of behavior and justice, especially in the realm of human rights. Many US politicians pay lip service to this value while pandering to constituents, but they should also be serious about enforcing human rights values domestically and abroad. (Specifically, the US needs to focus on police violence against young African American men – which has emerged as a major issue domestic human rights issue that really damages American credibility and erodes authority on enforcing global standards.)
China is not the only country in the world that violates human rights, nor is it the worst offender, but it seems to be the most popular scapegoat. For example, Saudi Arabia has a poor human rights record, but has such close ties to the US that no US politicians will dare to criticize it. This kind of double standard further damages American credibility when speaking about human rights in China.

Introduction: DIY Power Wheels Steering Knuckles
After picking up an old Power Wheels Jeep I found the plastic steering knuckles were warped and made the Jeep unusable. At first I tried to use heat to fix the form on the plastic parts, put they quickly failed again. Then I decided to get serious and put the charcoal foundry to use.
If you're not familiar with a charcoal foundry there are several good instructables and the books that originally got me started in metal castings by David Gingery (see link below) If you enjoy this instructable please consider voting for it in the Black & Decker Fix and Repair contest.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Making the Mold
To duplicate the parts, I first needed to get the original plastic parts straightened out. Then I filled in the hollows with clay. This step is optional, but will make removing the original part from the mold much easier.
Once the original parts have been prepped, fill the bottom half of the mold with packed green sand. Then coat the original parts with baby powder and set into the bottom half of the mold. Push the parts in with the 3/8" steel axle in place and pointing up. Press into the sand until the axle is just buried. The top half of the steering knuckle, including the tie rod connection, should be above the sand. leave enough room between the two parts for a 3/4" pipe that will create the fill tunnel.
Before you start the top half of the mold coat the bottom half with baby powder, to help with separation of the two halves. Next place the top half of the mold box in place and begin filling and packing with sand. Now you can loosen up and remove the pipe.
Finally, you need to carefully separate the two halves. If you're successful, then remove the original plastic knuckles from the bottom half of the mold, being careful not to collapse the sand or disturb the axle. The steel axle will stay in place and become permanently fixed to the new aluminum steering knuckles.
You need to cut small channels from the fill hole to the two steering knuckle molds, in order to give the molten aluminum a clear path. Now you can place the top half back to complete the mold.
Step 2: Fire Up the Foundry.
My original foundry was made from a 5 gallon steel bucket. When I pulled it out for this project I found it was completely rusted out and had t build a new one from some sheet metal I had lying around. I kept with the 5 gallon size but upgrading from a shop vac to a small blower motor with a speed controller.
I used a 6" piece of 3" schedule 40 piped with a pipe cap welded on one end to hold the aluminum inside of the foundry.
Allow the charcoal to get going until you have a raging jet of fire coming from the foundry then place the pipe with the aluminum into the foundry and add charcoal around the pipe. Place the lid and wait until the aluminum melts.
Step 3: Time to Cast
After about 10 minutes the aluminum should be completely molten. This step is easy, but it is also the most dangerous so use caution when you remove and pour the aluminum. I used a pair of welding gloves and pliers to pick up the steel pipe and make the pour. Before you pour you need to skim the slag off the top.
Pour in the aluminum until it fills the riser. Allow ample time to cool before trying to remove.
Step 4: Claim Your New Parts
After about 30 minutes the aluminum had solidified, but was still hot. Removal is easy, simply lift your new aluminum steering knuckles out of the mold, using pliers if it is still hot. This will inevitably destroy your mold, but that's okay, we're not mass producing anything here.
You should have two steering knuckles with the embedded steel axles connected to the riser. I used a hack saw to separate the steering knuckles from the riser and a grinder to knock down the rough edges that form where the seam between the two halves of the mold meet. Then just drill a hole for the tie rods and you're ready to go.
Step 5: Reassembly
I assume, if you're considering attempting to cast your own steering knuckles, that the disassembly and reassembly of the steering linkage needs no explanation. Not to say I had an easy time of it, but I managed to figure it out. I did forget to replace the support strut at first, which did not work out well. If you need help with any of the standard Power Wheels stuff, I would recommend visiting Modified Power Wheels forum. They have lots of helpful discussions.

Excellent work! I bet you could make anything.
wonderful way to make the parts with foundry
My friends race Power Wheels. They remove the motors and barrel down hills. If you come up with more hacks, I'll be sure to share them with the gang.

Tom De Cock
[see all titles]
This the very first LP of the new collection "Contra Naturam", a collaboration between Brussels-based contemporary music ensemble Ictus Ensemble and music label Sub Rosa. This audio recording presents a percussion-based composition by Pierluigi Billone, performed by Tom De Cock. Booklet features an unpublished essay by Laurent Feneyrou (in English, Dutch, French).
This double CD is accompanied by a 20 minutes long video by Joachim Thôme, published on Vimeo, meticulously displaying the special "touch" that is so typical for Pierluigi Billone's music: the musicians body as part of the sound-production-process—as described by Laurent Feneyrou in the CD's program notes : "The contact between hand and instrument is an immediate kind of knowledge, an esthetics of sensation. In touching things, we touch ourselves. The contact of one with an instrument is a contact of one with oneself."
"Billone shows interest in artisanal craftsmanship, in which the hands are much more organically involved in what they manipulate—wood metal, glass etc.—than is the case with music making. He also speaks of the 'intelligence of the hand' (one can see the equivalent for our lower limbs in the way a child learns to walk). […] In this case, listening is to attune oneself, fully, to rhythms."
Laurent Feneyrou
The concept of "Contra Naturam": The "magic of the record" befits contemporary music, which starts by adhering to an open, flexible sonic space where magnetic bolts of lightning shoot through. In that respect, at least, it has always been pop. The record lifts the curtain on a virtual stage; it creates its own space time; it reports on a listening project. And home computing has changed the game: the digital kitchen doesn't intimidate anyone anymore: editing and mixing are now part of the performer's daily routine
Pierluigi Billone (born 1960 in Italy, lives and works in Vienna) is an Italian composer known for works which often "reinvent" the performance techniques of the instruments involved. He studied under Salvatore Sciarrino and Helmut Lachenmann. He focuses on the nature of sound. He also draws on
free jazz
and non-European music for his research on sound matter. After a brief return to Italy in 2000, he decided to move to Vienna. His music has privileged performers such as the Klangforum Wien. It is broadcast by German and Austrian radio, is regularly scheduled in international festivals such as Donaueschingen.
Tom De Cock (born 1982) received his masters degree in percussion at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (2005), as well as a masters degree in
contemporary music
at the HFMDK Frankfurt am Main (2007), Germany. In 2009, he graduated "summa cum laude" at the HFM Detmold in the Konzertexamen degree and obtained his "Doctor of Arts" degree at the VUB and Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel in 2015. He received the Horlait Dapsens prize in 2007.
Next to his position as percussion soloist at the Brussels Philharmonic orchestra, Tom has been working as a freelance musician in Europe, he played with Ensemble Modern, MusikFabrik, Radio Kamer Philharmonie, among others and is a fixed member of Ictus, Nadar Ensemble, Triatu, and Ensemble XII.
He performed at festivals such as Agora Paris, Internationale Ferienkurse Darmstadt, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Klangspuren Schwaz, Bang on a Can NY, Ars Musica, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, etc. Tom has collaborated with Pierre Boulez, Peter Eötvös, Philippe Hurel, Bruno Mantovani, Philippe Manoury, Georges Aperghis and many other prominent figures of international contemporary music.
At the moment, Tom is working as the assistant percussion teacher at Conservatoire Royal de Liège.

Len Schrader was smitten by Saab when he was a college student, and that continues today. Besides being the proud owner of a pristine 1967 Saab 96, which he drives on the street, he races another 1967 Saab 96 in historic events across the country--to the delight of spectators and the dismay of competitors.
Why a Saab? "The engineering, the whole concept of front-wheel drive combined with safety and utility," he says. "And all of this in the '60s!"
Schrader's first Saab came in the form of a 93, a three-cylinder, two-stroke marvel. That model morphed into the four-cylinder, four-stroke Saab 96 with which most enthusiasts are familiar, all 1.5 liters and 73 hp of it.
Ahead of its time in terms of engineering, the 96 would find great success in rally events around the world. A Saab 96 was driven by Erik Carlsson and netted him firsts in several prestigious rallies, including the 1960, '61 and '62 RAC rallies and the 1962 and '63 Monte Carlo rallies.
The car is less known for its road-racing exploits, but that hasn't dissuaded Schrader from competing whenever and wherever he can. Painted bright yellow, with bulging fenders and wild graphics, his racer is a sight to see, a far cry from most of the 547,221 more mundane-looking Saab 96 sedans and station wagons built between 1960 and 1980.
Although Schrader's racer appears more "art car" than competition car, the little coupe is a serious contender that manages to put a fair share of other cars to shame wherever it competes, provided there are plenty of turns.
The front suspension, as on all Saab 96s, uses double wishbones and coil springs, while the rear suspension is a trailing U-beam axle with coil springs. The car also was built with solid floorpans, so the engine is sheltered above the pan, not only protecting the powerplant but also improving aerodynamics.
"It's a handling car, not a sprint car," Schrader says.
This Saab was raced since the early 1970s, mostly in Florida. It fell into the hands of Willy Lewis, who competed successfully in the Renault Le Car Series, the Barber Saab Pro Series, the Firehawk Series, IMSA and SCCA Pro Racing. Lewis made regular use of the Saab Sport & Rally catalog to build the car. The flares, for instance, were available only from the factory.
After years of racing, the car was put to bed in a barn in Maine. That's where Schrader found it, along with two Saab Sonetts--he was faced with buying the whole lot or nothing.
Schrader grows more excited about his find the more he races the Saab 96. With an assortment of performance equipment, including huge twin side-draft Webers mounted on a trick manifold, the car is a scream to drive, he says. And when he's looking for something a bit more sublime, there's always his other Saab 96.

News In Brief
Schools Face Shortfall in Spec.-Ed. Funding in S.D.
Gov. William Janklow of South Dakota plans to introduce an emergency appropriations bill in January to cover a statewide shortfall in special-education funding.
School districts in South Dakota are reimbursed each year for all the money they spent on special education the previous year. Districts spent about $1.6 million more in the 1994-95 school year than the state projected.
The Sioux Falls district had suggested that the governor cover the shortfall with money from the state's so-called growth fund, which the legislature set aside to help districts experiencing increased enrollment. The legislature had appropriated $3.59 million, anticipating a statewide increase of 1,200 students in 1995-96, but only 674 new students enrolled. However, the governor said there is not enough excess money to make up for the special-education shortfall.
The amount of money available through the growth fund was increased in May as part of a transitional school-funding formula. It is designed to partially compensate for a property-tax cap the legislature imposed last spring, limiting increases in local levies to 3 percent. A new state-aid formula is to take full effect on Jan. 1, 1997, a move prompted when the state's highest court narrowly upheld the old finance system last year. (See Education Week, May 10, 1995.)
Governor Janklow said in a letter to the Sioux Falls district that he "continued to be very troubled" by districts' rising expenditures for special education, but that he was committed to fully reimbursing them.
'Governor's School' Defended
The Governor's School of Arkansas, a summer enrichment program that enrolls 400 gifted students each year, has won the praise of another panel of experts. But critics are still not convinced that the program, launched by President Clinton in 1980 when he was the state's governor, is not indoctrinating students with liberal ideas.
A report released this month called the program "excellent and innovative"--and unbiased. Opponents, such as the American Family Association of Arkansas, a conservative group, have argued that the six-week program is anti-Christian and a tool for political brainwashing.
The evaluation was conducted by three experts on gifted students and coordinated by a researcher at the University of Arkansas. It was commissioned by the state education department after critics charged that a study done last year by 16 independent observers--which found nothing questionable--was not thorough enough.
"There are critics out there who are determined this is horrible and want to close it down, and they are making it their life's work," said Ann Biggers, the state's administrator of programs for gifted students. "It's a fantastic program. We're not brainwashing anyone."
Calif. Education Audit
California's state controller has targeted the state education department for a top-to-bottom audit.
The controller will review the agency's spending practices and accountability systems because it oversees one of the largest chunks of the state budget, said Edd sic Fong, a spokesman for Controller Kathleen Connell. The announcement of the investigation does not imply that fraud or waste exists within the department, he emphasized.
The state corrections department will also be audited.
"These programs spend about 50 percent of every dollar in California," Mr. Fong said. "The controller is targeting these to see where savings can be achieved."
The controller is completing an audit of the state's Medicaid program and should begin her review of either the corrections department or the education agency in February or March, Mr. Fong said.

Update on SPRINT Sdn Bhd toll increase
SPRINT Sdn Bhd convened a special board meeting on 27th October 2015 to discuss the increase of toll rates which had already been implemented pursuant to a letter from Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia ( LLM) dated 6th October 2015. The meeting was convened at the request of the Menteri Besar of Selangor YAB Azmin Ali.
At the meeting which was attended by the Chairman of SPRINT Ir Haji Yusoff bin Daud, director Dato' Hj Azmi bin Mat Nor and myself, the SPRINT management presented the financial outlook for the company comparing the numbers with and without the toll increase. What the numbers showed was that the Federal government was stopping the previous annual payment of about 90 million ringgit of compensation paid to SPRINT pursuant to the concession agreement which would now be collected from the highway users through increased toll rates.
I put on record the objection of the Selangor State Government, who is the majority shareholder of Kumpulan Perangsang Bhd who I represent on the SPRINT board, to the toll increase. The position of the Selangor State Government is that given the current economic climate, a responsible government would manage the situation differently ie by maintaining the current toll rates and renegotiating the terms of the concession agreement in respect of the compensation payments.
Our objection could not change the final position taken by the board and management of SPRINT by virtue of the fact that Kumpulan Perangsang is only a minority shareholder holding only 20 percent of the shares of SPRINT which were invested during the time of the previous BN government in 1999. At that time Perangsang invested about 132 million ringgit in SPRINT. Since 1999 to date, no dividend returns have been paid to Perangsang. No toll increases have been implement from 2001until the recent increase a few weeks ago.
By reason of the fact that a major policy decision has been taken which I am in principle opposed to, I am reviewing my position as a member of the board of directors of SPRINT. I will consult with the other members of the board of Perangsang and also the Menteri Besar of Selangor before I make a decision.

Yesterday Northern Colorado Hit Record Highs – Today Snow is Possible
What a difference a day makes. The high temperature in Greeley on Wednesday smashed the 35-year-old record for the date. Fort Collins hit a record of 79 yesterday and Denver tied an all-time record with 80 degrees. Today we should get snow.
According to the Greeley Tribune, Temperatures topped out at 83 degrees yesterday at a weather monitoring station on the UNC campus. The previous record for the date came in 1981, when the high was 76 on Nov. 16. The average high temperature in November usually hovers around 51 degrees.
Forecasters expect the weather to change dramatically today. The high temperature is expected to fall into the low-40s. A mix of rain and snow is expected. If we manage some measurable rain or snow today, it would be our first moisture along the Front Range in 38 days.
According to the National Weather service, the moisture will not have much affect on our drought. It may settle the dust a bit, but that's about it.

Meteorite Collection
I purchased my first meteorite and tektites in the early '90's and that initial thrill of holding a chunk of rock
that had prior to a firey entry through earth's atmosphere, zoomed through space for countless zillions of
years still hasn't faded. Of all the specimens in my rock and mineral collection, these hold first place.

Its that time of year again…And No, Im not just talking about Christmas, it's the time of cooler temperatures, time to get out there and put on the Chacos Z/2 sandals. This weather is what us Floridians dream of during the long scorching months of 95 degrees, when we can finally get out there and not swim through sea of humidity and moisture. With this change in weather more outdoor possibilities are being exposed and successfully taken advantage of, which means more gear and clothing is being used. This is just what I did recently...
Florida rakes in more tourism dollars than any other state. As we talked about, the temperate climate is a main proponent; however, the theme park industry reigns supreme in attracting fair weather thrill seekers. I trekked on over to Tampa to visit one of Florida's premier attractions, Busch Gardens. The day was filled with much laughter, thrills, and a looooot of walking.
With the concept of walking in mind, my preparation for this trip involved two things, comfort and practicality. That's why I turned to my Chaco Z/2 sandals, because they possess these two qualities. Thankfully style is not one of my priorities. When your shoes make others think of Julius Cesar, you know that they are far from stylish. Not to say that Cesar wasn't a hip dude, but you get the point. These shoes are great for any type of activity that involves a multitude of uses needed in it. From comfort to durability to function this shoe has it.
I walked to one ride, and then walked to another. This happened multiple times throughout the day, but my feet were going strong; All thanks to their BioCentric™ foot bed, that cradles my feet like a new born baby. Besides the amazing foot bed the sandal has a single strap through the footbed that is easy to quickly adjust when I needed a little breathing room for my feet. My Chaco Z/2 sandals also proved their convenience, when the rest of my group scrambled to change their shoes for the water ride. Overall I can't think of a better shoe to have for such a long exhausting day at a theme park.
So I say, get out there and enjoy the weather. And when you do, make sure you are properly equipped.

The European Union's latest plans to boost its future budget have raised the hackles of the moneymen in the City of London.
The Commission wants to collect one percent VAT throughout EU member states. It also wants to collect a levy on all financial transactions and that has sparked fierce opposition, particularly from the UK.
London's financial and stock markets form a major backbone of the UK economy. With fears of a banking exodus from the City towards Asia or the US, the prime minister's office in London rejected the proposals as unrealistic, saying the EU should be tightening its belt like crisis-hit member states.
A 'no' from Britain's pro-business Conservative premier David Cameron would be enough to sink the plan before it even gets off the ground.
One analyst believes the EU proposals are rooted in a desire to satisfy public disquiet about finance houses.
Jorge Núñez Ferrer from the Centre for European Policy Studies said: "When you hear in the news all the time, after everything that has happened, the banks are making profits and people are getting bonuses, when you say we will do something about that, we will reduce the way they operate with this tax, I think people can have a feeling about it."
The idea of a VAT payment stems from the desire to increase the EU budget while at the same time reducing direct contributions from member states.
The one percent extra collected on top of national VAT rates would be transferred directly into European coffers.
The commissioner in charge says the measures could generate a combined 60 billion euros, taking the budget until 2020 up to nearly a trillion euros.
And so the battle lines have been drawn and the first stones tentatively thrown. Germany has joined Britain in voicing its opposition. The Dutch finance minister also said tax is a matter for national governments.

Being a Catholic means being part of a community, being part of the People of God. The main way we express this is by celebrating Mass together each Sunday. But being Catholic is about more than just coming to Mass.
From enjoying a cup of tea or coffee after Mass to taking on a specific role such as Reader or Extraordinary Minister; from hosting one of our Cafe evenings to attending the ABC course to find out more about your faith; from joining our team of talented flower arrangers to being trained to be part of the Bereavement Support Group, there are lots of ways to get involved in parish life.
Keep an eye on the newsletter to keep up-to-date with what's happening. Use these pages to find out about the various groups and regular activities which take place.
And remember: this is your parish. If you have an idea of something you would like to do for the community, or feel strongly there is something we should be doing, don't hesitate to mention it to a member of the Parish Pastoral Council.

Reviewer: GHL Signed Date: 2018.01.06 - 10:45AM Title: Chapter 15 Horcruxes
Interesting incremental chapter!
Without feeling the need to read too much into my comments, I hope you don't mind if I ramble a bit, since I'm always interested in how different people craft plots.
In literature there are scads of examples of great prose writing that is wrapped around a weak plot, or a great plot that is diminished by bland writing. Of course, we all aspire to have a cool plot, and compose it compellingly, but the grand slam combination is quite rare.
Which brings us to the unenviable problem of Horcruxes -- a nasty contrivance that my suspicious nature attributes as an insurance policy by Jo Rowling that nobody would ever produce a great AU retelling of the HP saga. I'm sure not everyone would agree, but I always thought that JKR produced her greatest plots earlier in the series, only to have the storylines become more 'forced' later on as she sought to bring the series to a plausible conclusion. Fortunately, her wordsmithing continued to mature with every new novel, so the vast majority of a huge audience went along semi-happily, despite the increasingly contrived circumstances. Worst of all contrivances was the laundry-list-like procession through Horcruxes -- a literary slog that is only made better because she wrote it well, and because it's difficult to find any fanfic retellings that are any more compelling. And now you (like so many of us before) are clambering up this jagged ridge. I wish you well!
Fortunately, the Horcrux plot line can exist as a secondary thread behind a strong primary tale -- the complex trajectory you've painstakingly crafted for Anna; a very unique and compelling subject. In the end, the latter will likely be what I prize about this story, but I will nonetheless watch with curiosity to see how you handle the Bete Noire that Rowling bequeathed to us :)
Author's Response: Reading this really made me smile! I recently enjoyed a conversation with a fellow Harry Potter fan about what we loved about the books and what we found frustrating. Personally, I have always loved the characters JKR created and the magical world generally. Starting with book 5, I had difficulty reconciling certain events (The blood wards at Privet Drive holding after Harry's blood was used to resurrect Voldemort. Dumbledore's extreme and sudden fall from grace at the Ministry and with the public. Sirius being trapped at Grimmauld Place. The constant lack of information throughout the school year.) I could of course go on. It is always interesting to learn the likes and dislikes of others! With regard to Horcruxes, they will be involved in this story, but will probably not feel of paramount importance. Anyways, thank you so much for reviewing and sharing your thoughts!

Dumbledore is sharing now? That's quite a change! I'm not sure it makes up for not having Kreacher's head on the wall but it's interesting anyway.

Wow, its a nice bonus to find two chapters instead of one when returning from holidays....maybe I should go on holidays more often.
Reviewer: Aurorofthelight Signed Date: 2017.11.06 - 02:28PM Title: Chapter 15 Horcruxes
Holy bodycast Batman! Good thing for Dorko that shot glass in Charlie's hand wasn't Dorko's neck! Charlie seems a bit peeved! Would be fun to see you make Dorko's unfortunate accident actually occur(hint hint)! So the horcruxes make their evil appearance - really like that Sirius and Remus know about them in your story! Considering that Sirius knows what the Dursleys did to Harry, they'll be lucky if a couple of muggle heads don't end up along side the elf heads at Grimmauld - wouldn't Mrs Black's picture and Kreacher love that! Glad Neville is protective of Anna about the betrothals but she seems to be in a quandry - wonder if she knows more about her Grandma's betrothal then she has let on?! Really looking forward to the next chapter! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Will we expand on Anna's parents or not?

A Commitment to Wetland Restoration

The Onion Pub & Brewery is pleased to announce that we donated 4.5 acres of our property to Citizens for Conservation to help them expand their wetland restoration efforts. CFC has been a champion of open space preservation for over 30 years, and we are proud to be a part of their ongoing Flint Creek restoration efforts. The 4.5-acre parcel, lying in the wetlands behind our hop farm, connects with CFC's much larger open space to the north and south of our property. The shared goal is to eliminate one of the planet's most aggressive invasive species known as "Reed Canary Grass", and to bring back many of the native plants, birds, and insects that have been lost to this "desert" of one monoculture.

I can hardly contain my excitement: The London Olympics are just around the corner. I have been watching the Olympics—like most of you, I'm sure—for as long as I can remember. For me, the Olympics represent a part of what is right in the world, with people putting aside any differences for a month in order to enjoy a few sporting events. Ok, a lot of sporting events
Superficial reasons aside, I love watching each and every event, from the primetime ones like the track and swimming events right down to archery and ping pong. The athletes of these lesser-known—or less viewed—sports must find it painstakingly difficult to wait patiently for the Olympics to come around every four years. They have but one opportunity in that amount of time to showcase their talents, one opportunity to show the world what they can do, and have believing—even for just a day—that equestrian is a sport that matters.
What's more, the Olympics provide an opportunity to watch some of the world's greatest athletes take part in a tournament in which they receive no pay. The Lebron James' and Usain Bolts of the world technically receive nothing but pride for representing their country (I say technically because there are surely sponsor deals to be won worth millions of dollars). The fact that these athletes are willing to put so much on the line simply in order to show a healthy dose of patriotism is inspiring.
This is why it is so upsetting to hear about Dwayne Wade saying that Olympians should be paid. Come on, man. I hear what you're saying about the jersey sales; I hear what you're saying about the possibility of getting injured; I get what you mean when you say its taxing on your body. But…come on, man. This is exactly what makes the Olympics so great. The notion of people putting all of that aside in order to achieve a common goal, simply for the sake of pride in their country and their people is what makes us watch.
Then there is the whole Michael Phelps saga from the Beijing Olypmics. The guy had just finished bringing his career medal count to a whopping 14. He had been training day in and day out to become the fastest guy in the pool for four years. He had done everything necessary to win short of steroids and gill implants. Then, when the Olympics were over, and everyone had seemingly forgotten about all the pain his body had likely been through, and all the sacrifices he must have made to win all of those events, he smoked a little weed. The world was back to that cruel, judgmental place, and we crucified him for it. Forgive me, but I think he should be allowed to do take a break and smoke a little ganja after something like that.
No Olympics are without its dramatic storylines. There will undoubtedly be cases of medals being revoked due to steroid use. There will most likely be other tales of cheating during such and such event and hints of racism on the part of some official from this country or that. The world will all be watching as this athlete or that publicly embarrasses themselves while giving a heartfelt apology for whatever he or she did wrong.
But none of that can take away from the sheer awesome-ness that the Olympics bring. And I, for one, cannot wait. Giddy-up.

I recently came across an old review I did on one of the most astounding books of poetry I've ever had the privilege to read. Every now and then, I pick it up to re-read and each time, I get blown away again. Check it out. Buy it. The poetry is amazing.
Title: Bent to the Earth
Author: Blas Manuel De Luna
Publisher: Carnegie Mellon University Press
I just finished reading the most astounding collection of poetry from a Tijuana born poet and writer, Blas Manuel De Luna. It is incredible!
The title poem Bent to the Earth speaks of the violence against migrant farm workers, the beating, the fear, the loss. Separation of husband from wife, mother from son, neighbors and friends gone. It brought tears to my eyes as did my favorite from the collection, My Father, Reading Neruda. The beauty of this final stanza moved me so deeply that I found myself crying in the early morning rush to get ready for work.
"But now, Neruda. Now, poetry. Now, poems.
I go near him. He is near
the end of the book; his finger marks
his place in a poem, in the poetry
that we have in common,
and that carries us both."
The slim volume is packed with heart wrenching and sadly, true accounts of the life of the immigrant farmworker. Blas Manuel De Luna writes poignantly and beautifully of despair and loss, death and violence.
In his poem Into America, one can feel the anxious waiting for the darkness that will possibly give a few brave souls access into a new life on the other side or maybe just waiting another day with their desire to cross.
Mr. De Luna is one of the most eloquent and insightful poets it's ever been my pleasure to encounter. His writing is crisp and conveys a depth of feeling so profound and haunting that it stays long after the book is closed. Read this portion of his elegiac poem to his little brother, The Sky Above Your Grave.
"If you could see through satin and wood and earth
and bits of grass,
if you could see through the trees in winter
when their leaves are gone.
if, little brother, there were a way for the dead to see,
you would see all the ways the sky has to be beautiful."
I feel that this is such an important little book for so many reasons. It is a slim volume and packed with such powerful messages. It is a lesson in humanity. It is the voice of protest. It is a call for action.

some poems express such powerful feelings. the dead brother piece conveys the same power as catullus' "ave atque vale" piece to his brother. brother, hail and farewell. where is de Luna from?
