Back to supplements.I'm not convinced there is one ingredient out there that could have a significant impact about your fat difficulties. Whether it's caffeine, calcium, pyruvate, chitosan, forskolin, HCA, or even my beloved Green Tea and fish oils, Dislike think you'll lose any other fat begin using these products (although Green Tea, calcium and fish oils will have a significant have an effect on better health).
If you'll be able to lot of weight to reduce do Not try to do everything at rapidly as. The maximal time I have trainees do dieting diets are 12-16 many. And 16 weeks is the Sloth. If you are not at purpose within 16 weeks, take 4-5 weeks and reefed. This doesn't indicate eat all you need for the 4-5 weeks, it means add calories and perhaps carbs if doing a low/no carb diet and get your diet a bit over maintenance. This will allow your metabolism to rebound give you Forskolin Diet both a mental and physical break from peeling off pounds.
Why is weight loss so harder? How nice would it be to take a natural supplement that helps burn high and suppresses the appetite with little or no EFFORT!

Excluding a Party from the Court Room During Trial
December 5, 2016 § 6 Comments
NOTE: The MSSC reversed the COA in Miller v. Smith, decided October 26, 2017. The Supreme Court's decision held that a party may not be excluded from the courtroom, per Article 3, Section 25 of the Mississippi Constitution.
When it comes time for children to testify in a chancery court trial, there is a host of factors to take into account. Is it in the child's best interest to testify? Is the child competent? Is it really necessary to subject the child to that experience?
Once the decision is made to allow the child to testify, the question arises as to how the testimony should be taken. Should the parents be present?
That question arose at trial in the case of Miller v. Smith, decided by the COA on November 22, 2016. In that case, the chancellor had excluded both the father and the mother from the court room in a contested child-custody modification case where an adolescent step-child offered testimony of sexual abuse. In an opinion affirming the trial judge, Judge Fair wrote for the COA:
¶18. At trial, Jessica's daughter Kristen testified to several instances where Dale sexually harassed and/or abused her. The chancellor stated that due to the nature of the testimony, she preferred to clear the courtroom for Kristen's interview, having present only the lawyers and the court reporter. The testimony was recorded, and a transcript appears in the record on appeal. Kristen testified that she went to the police to report one of the incidents (the police report was in evidence and part of the GAL's report), but the police did not investigate further because there was no physical evidence of abuse. Also, the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) conducted an investigation (the report was also in the record and part of the GAL's investigation) but found no physical evidence of sexual abuse. Kristen was cross-examined by Dale's attorney, and Dale gave rebuttal testimony to his version of the events.
¶19. Dale argues the chancery court erred in allowing Kristen to testify outside of his presence. He specifically argues that doing so violated the confrontation clauses of both the United States and Mississippi Constitutions. He further argues that his forced absence from the courtroom violated Mississippi Rules of Evidence 615 and 617.
¶20. The Confrontation Clause only applies to criminal cases. "In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall have a right to be heard by himself or counsel, or both, to demand the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted by the witnesses against him . . . ." Miss. Const. art. 3, § 26 (emphasis added). So Dale's first argument fails.
¶21. Article 3, Section 25 of the Mississippi Constitution simply provides that "[n]o person shall be debarred from prosecuting or defending any civil cause for or against him or herself . . . by him or herself, or counsel, or both." Because Dale's counsel was present during Kristen's testimony, there was no violation of Article 3, Section 25.
¶22. Further, Dale's argument that the chancery court violated Rule 617 is misplaced. No interview was taken using closed-circuit television, as provided in Rule 617. [Fn 7]
[Fn7]
Rule 617 provides:
(a) Grounds. On the motion of a person named in subdivision (b), or on its own, the court may order that a child's testimony be taken outside the courtroom and shown in the courtroom by means of closed-circuit television if the court determines that:
(1) the child is under the age of 16 years;
(2) the testimony is that an unlawful sexual act, contact, intrusion, penetration, or other sexual offense was committed on the child; and
(3) there is a substantial likelihood that the child will suffer traumatic emotional or mental distress if compelled to testify:
(A) in open court; and
(B) in a criminal case, in the presence of the accused. (Emphasis added).
¶23. Dale asserts that Rule 615, commonly known as "the Rule," and occasionally more properly "the exclusionary rule," deprived him of due process. Rule 615 states:
At a party's request, the court must order witnesses excluded so that they cannot hear other witnesses' testimony. Or the court may do so on its own. But this rule does not authorize excluding:
(a) a party who is a natural person . . . .
¶24. The chancellor disregarded Dale's objection to being forced to leave the courtroom during Kristen's testimony. Because Dale was a party, he argues that, under a strict interpretation of the Rule, the chancellor did not have the authority to exclude him from being present. The procedure used by the chancellor in this case (excluding parents and/or stepparents in basically an "in camera" proceeding) is common, either by agreement or without objection of parties, in custody cases. See Robison v. Lanford, 841 So. 2d 1119, 1121 (¶21) (Miss. 2003) (holding that, as a matter of first impression, records of in-chambers interviews with children during child custody modification proceedings were required to be made).
¶25. There are exceptions to the Rule. For example, in Rule 617, parties who are alleged to be guilty of sexual abuse of a child may be excluded from the personal presence of children ages sixteen and under. M.R.E. 617. There is not, however, reported precedent of enforced exclusion of a party under the present circumstances of testimony by a seventeen year-old stepchild.
¶26. In a number of criminal cases, our supreme court has found that failure of enforcement of the exclusionary rule does not automatically result in reversal, holding that prejudice must accompany failure to exclude. See Avery v. State, 119 So. 3d 317, 320 (¶9) (Miss. 2013); Woulard v. State, 832 So. 2d 561, 565 (¶13) (Miss. 2002). Here, Dale has failed to show how he was prejudiced from the chancellor's error. Not only was his attorney present during Kristen's testimony, he cross-examined Kristen. The chancellor also allowed Dale to give rebuttal testimony to factual assertions by Kristen. Consequently, we find that no reversible error has been shown under this issue.
The situation described here is, as Judge Fair notes, fairly common in chancery court. In my experience, the parties often agree that they will leave the court room during the child's testimony, as long as their attorneys can remain and participate. Most parents do not want to appear to be trying to pressure the child or to be putting their own interests ahead of the child's, so they agree. In those cases where they both do not agree, however, and the chancellor finds that it would be in the child's best interest for them to be excluded, this case is authority to support that action.

§ 6 Responses to Excluding a Party from the Court Room During Trial
The Right to Confrontation | The Better Chancery Practice Blog says:
[…] I posted here previously about the case of Miller v. Smith, in which the COA had ruled that there was no error when the chancellor excluded the parents from the courtroom during a child's testimony in a child-custody case. Here is a link to my post. […]
Patricia Smith says:
The failure of the sheriff's department and DHS to properly investigate the reported sexual abuse is evidence of the failure of the systems to train their investigators. In more than 95% of sexual abuse cases there will be NO physical evidence! How do we properly train the front line investigators? With DHS, just mention the word "custody" and they shut the investigation down, even when the child makes the report.
Michael Jenkins says:
Doesn't para. 26 say that it was error, just not reversible error in this case? "Here, Dale has failed to show how he was prejudiced from the chancellor's error."
I think what the case says is that you have to show that you have been prejudiced by the court's action. So, technically, it may be error, but if you can't show that you were prejudiced, it is not a basis to reverse the judge's action.
Janice Jackson says:
When two grandparents are trying to Terminate parental rights of their daughter whose child is 8 years old, can each of the grandparents be excluded from the deposition of the other?
I am not aware of any authority to do that.

The Art of the Brick | The World's Most Elaborate Display of LEGO® Art opens
(General - From Saturday, May 25, 2019 until Monday, September 2, 2019)
May 25 - September 1, 2019
Presented by CEFCU
THE ART OF THE BRICK takes LEGO somewhere you wouldn't expect and shows you things you have never seen before. The goal with this collection of art is to demonstrate the potential of imagination and the power of creativity.- Nathan Sawaya, artist
THE ART OF THE BRICK, a captivating touring exhibition, features intriguing works of art made exclusively from one of the most recognizable toys in the world, the LEGO® brick. This critically acclaimed collection of creative and inspiring pieces constructed using only LEGO bricks is created by renowned contemporary artist Nathan Sawaya.
Designed to inspire ingenuity and creativity, is the world's most elaborate display of LEGO brick art, featuring more than 100 artworks. The collection highlights original pieces as well as re-imagined versions of some of the world's most famous masterpieces made exclusively from LEGO bricks, such as van Gogh's "Starry Night" and da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" as well as a gallery showcasing an innovative, multimedia collection of LEGO brick-infused photography produced in tandem with award-winning photographer Dean West.
Visitors will have the opportunity to get up-close and in-person with the fan favorite, "Yellow," a life-size sculpture of a man ripping his chest open with thousands of yellow LEGO bricks cascading from the cavity. In addition, visitors will be able to walk under a 20-foot-long T-Rex dinosaur skeleton made out of bricks and come face-to-face with a giant LEGO skull.
THE ART OF THE BRICK is the first major museum exhibition to use LEGO bricks as the sole art medium. Sawaya transforms LEGO bricks into tremendous and thought-provoking sculptures, elevating the toy to the realm of art. Sawaya's ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful, his devotion to spatial perfection and the way he conceptualizes action, enables him to elevate what almost every child has played with into the status of contemporary art.
Interactive Activity Area
THE ART OF THE BRICK is sure to inspire the artist within. Take inspiration from Sawaya's artwork to create your own LEGO brick sculptures in an interactive activity area, where you can build whatever you can imagine.
Exhibition sponsors
The Peoria Riverfront Museum gratefully acknowledges our exhibition presenter, CEFCU, and our exhibition sponsors, the Gilmore Foundation and the Visionary Society.

A new look at Van Gogh, through the legacy of the largest private collector of artworks by the Dutch painter: Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939), who, in the early 20th Century, ended up buying nearly 300 of his works, paintings and drawings included.
The story unfolds of a woman who, in Van Gogh's spiritual torment could recognize her own, showing priceless artistic treasures and the rare, naturalistic and architectural beauty of the Kröller-Müller Museum set in the vast De Hoge Weluge park, as well as visual extracts of the Milanese, Florentine, Roman and Palladian Renaissance. It tells the tormented, existential parable of a painter, seen through passages from his brother Theo's letters, which set the pace of the exhibition, and it shows images of the places he lived and stayed in, from Paris to Provence.
The opportunity to tell the story of this collection and of the burning passion for art that led to it, is an outstanding exhibition on Van Gogh. 'Amid wheat fields and clouded skies' at the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza, brings together 40 paintings and 85 drawings from the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Holland, now home to Helene's heritage.
This is an exhibition that will not only tell us about Van Gogh's art and his genius, but it will also allow us to understand the importance of drawing as part of his artistic technique. His seemingly instinctive, 'au premier coup' canvases were the result of long, preparatory studies, not sketches but complete works of art in themselves, where the broken flow of lines that characterizes the style of his paintings, can already be found.
Members: $8.50 Adult, $7.50 Senior, $6.50 Child | Public: $10.50 Adult, $9.50 Senior, $8.50 Child

The Doggie, a 9-month-old pit bull breed was recovered after being seen on the side of the Dallas road one day, he was taken to the shelter and sadly added to the euthanasia list.
Even sadder for him, he was also visually impaired and desperate for just a little love in his life, the workers in the shelter were determined to save him and took photos to share on social media.
He was named 'JJ' and the fight was on to find him a hole before it was too late for him, the spot he was abandoned is a known place where people leave dogs, who end in a lot of cases being killed and injured by passing cars.
JJ survived the road, but as well as being visually impaired he was also deaf, the poor boy really needed some love.
Before it was too late someone came to rescue him, just in the nick of time too, a lovely lady called Marina Tarashevska really liked him.
Just as Marina was about to leave JJ, was put in his kennel, that's when he did something really sweet, he reached out his paw to her like he was asking for her help, he didn't want her to leave!
JJ is loving his foster home now, where is safe and cared for, he is still a little scared sometimes like he had been really badly treated before in his past.
Once the animal behaviourist examines him, and they fully check his hearing and vision he will be available for adoption.
Please SHARE and help this poor boy find a good home!

It's just like how I'm not sure how I got to 37 years old. Wasn't I 21 10 minutes ago?
It all started because I worked in TV production for a long time and I realised two things. One, there were LOTS of people on TV who I gave their first presenting jobs to. And two, new talent wasn't being nurtured by any of the talent agents.
So after an 18 month sabbatical (mainly in Asia, drunk) I started my own talent management company from the front room of my flat, with no name, no logo, no website, no contracts, and no clients!
First stop was an on-line poker channel that had just started where I picked up my first 3 clients, one of which, Layla Anna-lee, is still with us today. Everything else came from 12 hour days and no days off for 2 years.
How are we doing? Well, I'll let other people be the judge of that.
But we're now a full time team of 5, with a swanky Covent Garden office, represent not just presenters but also comedians, voice artists and actors, and on a daily basis we have a bloody good time.
Don't get me wrong, we work hard, and I strive for perfection in everything that I do. Just ask the rest of the guys that spend 45 hours a week with me in the office!
But it's working. We discover new talent. We make them better at what they do. And you know what, there is now a talent agency nurturing new talent.

Cantwell Announces $20 Million for Avista Utilities Smart Grid Investments
Funding Represents Federal Investment Championed by Cantwell to Make the Nation's Electricity Grid Smarter, Stronger, More Efficient, and Reliable
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) announced that Avista Utilities in Spokane will receive a federal investment of $20,000,000 to implement smart grid technologies that will create jobs and lead to lower electricity bills for consumers. The funding will be used to implement a distribution management system, intelligent end devices, and a communication network to reduce distribution system loses, enable automatic restoration to customers during outages, and allow for the integration of on-site generating resources. For years, Cantwell has lead efforts to invest in technologies that will improve the nation's electricity grid and she pushed to include this funding in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Smart grid is a broad range of technologies, both hardware and software, which when linked together are able to communicate to optimize how electricity is generated, transmitted, distributed, and used.
"The nation's electricity grid is starting to show its age and is straining to meet an ever-increasing demand," said Cantwell. "This funding represents a real commitment by the federal government to infuse intelligence into our electricity grid to make it more efficient and reliable and empower homeowners and businesses to reduce electricity costs and create high-paying, long-term jobs."
The funding for Avista is part of $3.4 billion in grant awards included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Avista will match this funding to help create jobs and provide Washington state consumers with a stronger, more reliable grid that will reduce their overall energy costs.
"We are very grateful for the work of Senator Cantwell and the Obama administration in bringing stimulus funding to an application that will directly benefit the economy in our region," said Scott Morris, Chairman, President and CEO, Avista Utilities. "This would not have been possible without Senator Cantwell's tireless support."
Cantwell authored the groundbreaking Smart Grid title of the 2007 Energy Bill. This established a smart grid research, development, and demonstration program at the Department of Energy; required the development of an interoperability framework; established a federal matching grant program; created a Smart Grid Advisory Committee to advise the federal government on the deployment of smart grid technologies; initiated a Smart Grid Task Force to coordinate the federal government's smart grid policies; and encouraged state utility regulatory commissions to allow for rate recovery for smart grid investments.
Without Cantwell's smart grid title, funding for the grants announced today may not have been possible.


Zhongshan still remained an unknown small town in a corner of Lingnan a hundred years ago. But an epoch-making progress was gained when Sun Yat-sen and his men and the following men went out of here. However, the rapid development and emergence of Zhongshan began in the tide of reform and opening to outside in the 1980s and 1990s. Complete progress was made in aspects of social development, economy and civilization and it became a starring pearl in the Pearl River Delta. Efforts and sweats of twenty years went before the world hears. After challenges and sufferings a giant image of striving Zhongshan was gradually built.
Zhongshan Archives Bureau has persisted in the faith of archives serving for and known by society and long efforts were made in collection, protection and utilization of historical archives since its foundation. We have selected some photos from Zhongshan Archives to exhibit in the Online Show together with some documentary pictures collected from other departments. The Online Show is divided into 6 parts and shows the history of the last hundred years, especially the grand progress of the last twenty years in complete aspects and multi-perspectives. We will give our heartfelt gratitude to City Culture Bureau, Bureau of Overseas Chinese Affairs and others for their great supports.
Zhongshan in ancient times was called Xiangshan which was named after rich divine flowers. The ancient Xiangshan was a lonely island of Lingding Sea beyond the mouth of Pear River, namely what's now called Wuguishan Mountain, Fenghuangshan Mountain (now Zhuhai City) and the surrounding hills and uplands, i.e. the land from Shiqi to Macao. Since Tang Dynasty a wide alluvial plain had been gradually formed because of the constant sediment of sand and soil carried by Pearl River. During Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty the land added by the sea was of about two thirds of the original land, which is called the sand area of the Western Sea, i.e. what's now called Xiaolan, Dongsheng, Tanbei, Henglan, etc. In Ming Dynasty the alluvial plain continued to extend with new-added land called the sand area of Eastern Sea, namely what's now called Dongfeng, Nantou, Huangpu, Fusha, Sanjiao, Langwang, Minzong, Gangkou, etc. When it came to Qing Dynasty the southwestern part of the plain came into being including Banfu, Shenwan, Sanxiang, Tanzhou, etc. in the south of Gangkou and the east of Modaomen Waterway. With those changes of land and seas it integrated the north with the land of Shunde and Panyu and became a part of the alluvial plain of Pearl River Triangle.
After the foundation of PRC archeologists discovered 9 cultural relic sites in Mashan of West Shiqi District, Longxue Village of Nanlang, etc. and found a number of stoneware, painted pottery and others, which showed that ancient Chinese had inhabited in Xiangshan Island by fishing and hunting in the middle and late of the Neolithic Ages 5000 years before.
Xiangshan island belonged to Baiyue Isles in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Nanhai County in Qin Dynasty, Panyu City Nanhai County in Han Dynasty, Dongguan County in Jin Dynasty and Bao'an County in Sui Dynasty. When it came to Tang Dynasty it belonged to Dongguan County and was set up as Xiangshan Town including what's now called Shiqi, Shaxi, Dayong, Southern District, Shenwan, Sanxiang, Shenwan, Cuiheng, Wuguishan Mountain, Nanlang and Zhangjiabian of Zhongshan City and Shanchang, Qianshan, Tangjia and Xiazha of Zhuhai City. In 1152 Yao Xiaozi, the governor of Dongguan County followed the advice of Chen Tianjue, a scholar and changed Xiangshan Town into Xiangshan County which subordinated Nanhai, Panyu and Xinhu and was subordinated by Guangzhou.
When Xiangshan was titled with Xiangshan County, it was a land of isolated islands with a population of less than 10,000 and a behind economy of half fishing and half agriculture. It was taken as an inferior county from South Song Dynasty to early and middle Qing Dynasty. Portuguese invaded Macao and ruled it with autonomy and in 1849 Xiangshan lost the administrative rights of Macao. By Jiaqing and Daoguang Period of Qing Dynasty, rapid progress had been made in agriculture and it became a land of fertile soil because of accumulated sediment, long-term development and large number of immigrants as well as their advanced technologies and superior seeds.
The Revolution of 1911 broke out and succeeded and the government of Republic of China with Sun Yat-sen as President was built in Guangzhou on May 5, 1921. And then a term of stratocracy was announced and the administrative structure was gradually completed. In that autumn Wu Tiecheng was elected by people as Governor of Xiangshan. Sun Yat-sen died on Mar. 12, 1925 and Xiangshan was renamed as Zhongshan in memory of Sun Yat-sen on Apr. 15. Li Luchao, Huang Jusu, TangShao yi, Liang Hongshen, Yang Ziyi, Zhang Huichang, etc, were successive governors.
Zhongshan (Xiangshan) has an honored tradition of revolution in the modern history of China as shown in the revolutionary period of nearly half century and their spirit of protecting our nation is still impressive at present.
Xiangshan revolutionary armed forces that was directly led by Macao Branch of the Southern Department, the United League of China, attacked the capital and seized the workplace of the government in three ways from Longdu, Liangdu and Qianshan under the drive of Wuchang Uprising on 6 and 7 of November 1911. It formed the Contemporary Military Government of Xiangshan, which was the period of Xiangshan Uprising of the Revolution of 1911. When it came to the period of evil deeds of Long Jiguang, Ren Henian and Lin Jinghun as well as other member of the Revolutionary Party organized Longdu Uprising in 1916 and gave a vital strike to Long Jiguang and his representatives in battles of Shiqihai, Mashan and passes of Hexi Road, which was memorized in Xishan Monument of Shiqi by late people.
After the Incident of July 7, 1937 Japanese invaded Sanzao island (now in Zhuhai City) in February of 1938 and Zhongshan came into a period of anti-Japanese invasion in cooperation with the CPC. Victories were gained in battles of Hengmen, Zhangjiabian and some others in 1939 with the common efforts of the army and the people.
Zhongshan was occupied by Japanese in 1940 and the people of Zhongshan built a base and a guerilla in Wuguishan Mountain and won the battles of Sanxiang, Qi'ao Island and the Fight for Wuguishan Mountain, etc, under the leadership of the CPC.
As shown in statistics, Zhongshan Guerilla organized over 140 fights with Japanese in the whole period of Anti-Japanese War. And leaders like Lin Qiangyun, LiangJia, LuoZhang, etc, contributed a great deal to the liberation of Zhongshan, which is honored by the late people.
When the Anti-Japanese War is finished, the Kuomintang regardless of people's wish for peace and democracy, started a large-scaled civil war and the Zhongshan Special Office of the CPC did a great deal on propaganda. And rapid development of Zhongshan Organization of the CPC and people's armed forces had been gained by the second half of 1949, which made adequate preparation for the liberation of Zhongshan.
People's armed forces of Zhongshan and people in Wuguishan Base succeeded in meeting the spearhead force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on Oct. 30, 1949, which is taken as Zhongshan Liberation Day.
Zhongshan was liberated completely on Aug. 4, 1950.
Rong Hong is the first Chinese bachelor and doctor graduated from a foreign higher institute and also the first intellectual of bourgeois; Zheng Guanying is one of the most famous bourgeois reformists and his work Warn People of a Flourishing Era makes guidance to the Reform Movement of 1898 by Kang Youwei. The democratic revolution of bourgeois led by Sun Yat-sen the revolutionary pioneer, born in Cuiheng Village is more connected with Xiangshan and the people of Xiangshan. Sun Yat-sen is the leader of the revolutionary campaign which changes the history of China and his townsmen have long been his supporters, of which Cheng Kuiguang, Cheng Yaochen as well as Lu Haodong lost their lives for the revolution. In modern China it is Xiangshan people with Sun Yat-sen as a representative that first hold the banner of the democratic revolution and claim to pull down the feudalism of over 2000 years to build an independent, free and equal republic in a revolutionary way. There are some other honored people, such as Yang Xianyi (Taiwanese), the father of Chinese air force and Zhu Mufei (Xiya people), the first woman pilot in China, which explains Zhongshan's honor of "A Land of Aviation".
There were also some geniuses in the new democratic revolution led by the CPC, such as Yang Pao'an who was one of the earliest theorists of Marxism in the South China, Su Zhaozheng who led Shenggang Strike and Yang Yin who was an alternate member of the Sixth Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPC and the military minister of Central Committee of the CPC, and those excellent representatives of Zhongshan like Lin Weimin, Li Huazhao, Li Yanmeng, etc, devoted their lives to the revolution. And some brave military units and soldiers appeared and developed Wuguishan Anti-Japanese Base with glorious victories under the guide of the CPC in the Anti-Japanese War. In civil war the first branch of Pearl River army struggled to defend Wuguishan Base and finally met the liberation of Zhongshan.
The modern Xiangshan people contributed a great deal to the modernization of China with their spirit of solidification, patriotism, pragmaticism and innovation. Rong Hong was regarded as one of the pioneers of Chinese modernization, Tang Tingshu, Xu Run and Zheng Guanying, etc, were directly involved in the campaign of prosperous country and powerful army by introducing advanced science and technology from the west. The founders of the four largest department stores were Xiangshan people.
Xiangshan people made great contributions to modern education and culture in modern China. Zhong Rongguang set up Lingnan University; Su Manshu was a genius of literature and arts; Ruan Lingyu was a famous actress; Xiao Youmei was honored with the pioneer of modern music education; Lv Wencheng was a top music composer, singer and reformist. These educational and cultural giants promoted the cultural development of Xiangshan in some way and brought the prosperous development of education.
The fathers of Xiangshan were devoted to Chinese social development and our history calls us to develop the essence of Xiangshan Culture and the pioneering spirit of Xiangshan people for further development of Zhongshan.

Comenius' Orbis Sensualium Pictus was first published in 1658 and was republished in various translations with various versions of illustrations in subsequent years. Here is a comparison of three different 18th century versions depicting bookbinders. The first two (English, 1705 and Hungarian, 1708) are identical, but the 1777 edition shows an update.
Below are further samples of pages depicting bookbinding and the book trade in general.
A German/Hungarian version was published in 1708.


Be the first to share your memories or express your condolences in the Guest Book for James Douglas "Bud" Slavens.
James "Bud" Douglas Slavens was born Sept. 23, 1936, to James Carl Slavens and Vera Estelle Wayland Slavens in Tulsa, Okla., and raised in Oakhurst, Okla., southwest of Tulsa.
His parents, two of his three sisters and a grandson (Miles Stephen Burnett) preceded him in death.
He is survived by his wife of more than 60 years Sherron; his three adult children, James M. Slavens, Christopher D. Slavens and Beth Slavens Burnett; two grandchildren, Amy Burnett Cross and Matthew Burnett; a son-in-law, Zachary Cross; one sister, Maye Miller; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Bud joined the U.S. Air Force following high school. He was mechanically gifted and excelled in weapons and missile training. He spent 2.5 years (without leave since all were cancelled during frequent "Red Alerts") of his four-year active enlistment in Alaska during the Cold War with Russia. Alaska was not a state at that time, so it was overseas duty.
Upon completion of his active enlistment, Bud married Sherron Barrett from Denver. They briefly lived in Oklahoma but eventually settled in Colorado, where they raised their two sons and daughter. Bud was active in the community (Dumont Volunteer Fire Department) and especially in the school boosters and other school activities. He supported every activity his children were involved in and received recognition for exemplary attendance and support over the years.
Bud spent five years early in the marriage training to be a licensed stationary and operating engineer. He worked two jobs while attending school weekends to simultaneously support his family and get an education.
He worked at Sigman Meats for more than 20 years as chief engineer. Then he worked more than 20 years as chief engineer and building manager of a downtown Denver high rise office building previously called the Security Life building.
He retired at age 65 but was then was hired as an outside consultant when new owners gutted the building and turned it into apartments.
In 1970, Bud and Sherron purchased an acre of mountain land with a stream frontage in Clear Creek County. Working every holiday, vacation, day off and nights, Bud built a two-level home on their dream land. Sherron lives in that home to this day. After almost 50 years, he still loved the land God had loaned to us for our enjoyment and living.
After a few years of retirement, Sherron and Bud took over running Loaves & Fishes. This was not planned but was a significant activity in their retirement years nonetheless. After loving and feeding those in need for seven years, Sherron and Bud retired once again in 2015.
Bud entered into eternity from his Dumont home on March 8, 2019. A celebration of his life will be held at Rockland Community Church, 17 Mount Vernon Country Club Road, Golden. CO 80401 on Friday, April 12, 2019, at 11 a.m. Reception at the church to follow. All are welcome.

Salon: "After Paris, let's stop blaming Muslims and take a hard look at ourselves"
By Pamela Geller - on November 14, 2015
Left/Islamic Axis
This is the madness, the pathology of the left. Torturing, dismembering young Westerners enjoying their lives on a Friday night out, and the monsters at Salon blame us.
When Muslims attack, the left attacks the victims.
Salon: "After Paris, let's stop blaming Muslims and take a hard look at ourselves" By Robert Spencer, November 14, 2015
Yeah. How dare those French get in the way of those jihad suicide bombers and gunmen? How dare 160 French get massacred by Islamic jihadists? Don't they realize that makes Islam look bad?
Also, when did Salon ever "blame Muslims"? How can they stop what they never started? The whole framing of this issue as one of "blaming Muslims" actually sidesteps the real issue: what is in the texts and teachings of Islam that incites believers to violence, and what can be done about it? When, aside from Jeffrey Tayler articles, has Salon ever examined that?
"Our terrorism double standard: After Paris, let's stop blaming Muslims and take a hard look at ourselves," by Ben Norton, Salon, November 14, 2015:
Any time there is an attack on civilians in the post-9/11 West, demagogues immediately blame it on Muslims. They frequently lack evidence, but depend on the blunt force of anti-Muslim bigotry to bolster their accusations.
Actual evidence, on the other hand, shows that less than 2 percent of terrorist attacks from 2009 to 2013 in the E.U. were religiously motivated. In 2013, just one percent of the 152 terrorist attacks were religious in nature; in 2012, less than 3 percent of the 219 terrorist attacks were inspired by religion.
Fantasy analysis, derived by jimmying the data. And even if it were accurate, the claim that there are other terror threats doesn't mean that there isn't an Islamic terror threat.
The vast majority of terrorist attacks in these years were motivated by ethno-nationalism or separatism. In 2013, 55 percent of terrorist attacks were ethno-nationalist or separatist in nature; in 2012, more than three-quarters (76 percent) of terrorist attacks were inspired by ethno-nationalism or separatism.
These facts, nonetheless, have never stopped the prejudiced pundits from insisting otherwise.
On Friday the 13th of November, militants massacred at least 127 people in Paris in a series of heinous attacks.
There are many layers of hypocrisy in the public reaction to the tragedy that must be sorted through in order to understand the larger context in which these horrific attacks are situated — and, ultimately, to prevent such attacks from happening in the future.
Right-wing exploitation
As soon as the news of the attacks broke, even though there was no evidence and practically nothing was known about the attackers, right-wing pundits immediately latched on to the violence as an opportunity to demonize Muslims and refugees from Muslim-majority countries.
The list of right-wing demagogues who chimed in reads like a Who's Who of leading reactionaries. In a disgrace to the victims, the shout chorus of conservatives exploited the horrific attacks to distract from and even deny domestic problems. They flatly told Black Lives Matter activists fighting for basic civil and human rights, fast-food workers seeking liveable wages and union rights, and students challenging crippling debts that their problems are insignificant because they are not being held hostage at gunpoint.
More insidiously, when evidence began to suggest that extremists were responsible for the attacks, and when ISIS eventually claimed responsibility, the demagogues implied or even downright insisted that Islam — the religion of 1.6 billion people — was to blame, and that the predominately (although not entirely) Muslim refugees entering the West are only going to carry out more of such attacks….

Meek Mill's ordeal doesn't appear to be coming to an end despite recent reports, and in an exclusive NBC Nightly News interview, he gets open and candid about what he's been going through since being jailed. The Maybach Music Group rapper spoke with Lester Holt phone from jail.
Currently, the rapper born Robert Rhimeek Williams is serving a two-to-four-year sentence for probation violation, but there seems to be traction that Meek was wrongly convicted due to a lack information given to the controversial Judge Genece Brinkley.
Watch Meek Mill's interview with NBC News below.

KEKE WYATT: Who Knew (Label: Shanachie)
Keke Wyatt first broke though about ten years ago with her 'Soul Sista' album. That came hot on the heels of a chart riding duet with Avant (remember the lovely version of 'My First Love'?) and both proved that the young Indianapolis-born vocalist was a real contender… no wonder she'd featured in an early incarnation of Destiny's Child! Since that auspicious debut, though, her career has been in a downward spiral – caused by a complicated mix of business and high-profile personal problems. Now, signed to the supportive Shanachie label, Keke is determined to get things back on track and hits the comeback trail with this new ten tracker. 'Who Knew?' will serve her well. In truth, it's a very slick and professional modern R&B album that confirms the vocal ability her early work showed. However, nothing on the set really ignites. A lot of the music is down tempo and formulaic with 'Without You' being a particularly pretty tune that in the hands of one of the major R&B princesses and with the backing of major label would be a smash. Ditto, the beatier title track; 'Who Knew?' is very Beyoncé and if credited to her would undoubtedly score … but I think that says more about the sensibilities of the record buyers and the might of the marketing than the quality of the music. The album's most interesting track is a cover of Rachelle Ferrell's 'Peace On Earth' – a gentle yet provocative item – quite at odds with the bombast of 'Getting It'. That one's full of crashes, bangs and vocoded effects and right out of kilter with the album's general thrust. It's good to know that Keke Wyatt is working again and that she's put the nightmares of the past behind her. She's a great modern R&B vocalist, of that there is no doubt… she just needs stronger songs to work with and, maybe, producers who will allow her to fly above the predictable.

After relaxing down a bit from studying for mid-terms and taking at most 4 hours of my day going to and back from school I finally have time to do a post. Yippie me! Anyways for whoever is following me on twitter know that I sacrificed one of my days to study to head over to an event, that I have wondered about for long time, in the city (I kind of live on the outskirts of Istanbul). So this event was the Clothing Swap which is done all over the world for charity purposes. It was their anniversary so they wanted to have a party and include all different kinds of stations like; graffiti wall, sangria, arts & crafts etc. We brought in 15 pieces and had a blast while choosing our items and being overly excited while others were taking out stuff home!
We had a couple of coupons left over which my mom and sister used for Sangria (wine punch typical of Argentina, Spain and Portugal).
The graffiti wall was also build up by white t-shirts that people brought in. We left in early so this was just the beginning. If you want to see the finished version of this you can head over to the Clothing Swap Turkey page on Facebook and check it out and even look at other things that I missed. By the way I hear the 16th event will be in Berlin so if you are near the area please check it out, all the items that are left behind are put in boxes and donated.
I just want to start off by saying that I ditched school today because I feel terrible. I have a runny nose and a weird feeling in my throat. I'm not exactly sick yet but I feel that if I push myself out of my bed its going to start working on me. So while I'm in my bed today I decided to post of couple of things that I've been pinning or coming across on websites. My fave out of all of these is the JC shoes, how can one shoe be this perfect? The color, style and UNICORN print! It's absolutely gorgeous, definitely on my wishlist :) What is your favorite from the list?


Before Elaine Chen moved to Miami, she'd heard it was a diverse place. But when she got here, she wondered where all the other Asians were.
Why does one of the state's most cosmopolitan places have so few Asians?
More than half of the adult Asian-American population has a college degree or higher. Compare that to the general adult population of the United States with about 30 percent and to all other immigrant groups at 18 percent.
The median household income of Asian-Americans is also higher, at about $66,600 per year. The U.S. median is around $50,500.
Overall, Asian-Americans are the highest-income and best-educated racial group in the United States - and they are not choosing to live in Miami.
Hear Ly Nguyen, Ernie Hsiung and Katie Phang talk about being Asian in Miami and some experts weigh-in on why the fastest growing racial group isn't coming here.
No studies look at why Asian-Americans don't move to certain places, but I could find places with the highest rates of Asian-American growth. And it wasn't determined by distance or flight patterns.
Traditional immigration gateways for Asians like San Francisco and Los Angeles didn't see significant change.
The largest growth of Asian-Americans has mostly been in parts of the South and Southwest, in metropolitan areas such as Houston, Texas; Orlando, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Las Vegas, Nevada. In these Sun Belt cities, Asian-American populations have grown by about 70 percent or more from 2000 to 2010, with Vegas and Raleigh experiencing the highest growth, at over 125 percent.
Miami-Dade has a smaller percentage and saw less growth in its Asian-American population than some other areas in Florida.
Compare that to the nation as a whole, which saw around 46 percent growth in the Asian-American population. In Miami-Dade, it was less than half that rate.
Although Asian-American constitute less than five percent of the American workforce, they represent more than twice that percentage of the workforce in science-technology-engineering and math related industries or STEM for short.
Cities that drew a lot of Asian-Americans tended to have some of the highest rates of STEM job growth. Between 2001 and 2011, Las Vegas had a 26 percent increase in STEM jobs while Raleigh, Houston, Jacksonville and Orlando had about 15 percent growth.
Miami, on the other hand, had about half that rate and has less than the national share of STEM occupations.
On top of that, the big drivers for Miami-Dade's economy, tourism and real estate/construction, are just not industries where Asian-Americans are highly represented. And those industries don't rely much on professional-level employees, which make-up the bulk of the Asian-American workforce.
Of course, Asian-Americans are not just in STEM or professional jobs. They also work in service and retail industries. But here, Asian-Americans don't have any particular advantage in a market serving a growing Latin American consumer base served by a largely Hispanic business community.
Miami-Dade County gets about 30,000 to 40,000 foreign immigrants a year, mostly from Latin America.
Add to that Miami's focus on Latin American markets abroad, and you understand why Spanish is almost the business language here. That makes Miami particularly challenging for entrepreneurs who might not speak Spanish or English.
With so few Asians in Miami, I can typically tell people whom I'm meeting for the first time that they can find me by looking for the Asian person. It almost always works.
But Ly Nguyen, an Asian-American who lives near Miami, says he sometimes enjoys being unique.
"When you're not one of a billion, people are interested in you and your background," though Nguyen adds that he often gets mistaken for being Latino.
A sign that Miami doesn't have a lot of Asians: the ubiquity of Asian fusion restaurants (with dishes like kimchi tater tots) and the scarcity of authentic ones.
That necessity – of having to defend or prove your ethnicity – is what motivated me to look into why there aren't more Asians in Miami. All of this talk about Miami's diversity seemed to negate my ethnicity. Asian-Americans were statistically insignificant (the county doesn't typically report their numbers) and thereby irrelevant.
The Beacon Council, which promotes economic development in Miami-Dade, thinks this all may change. Steve Beatus is executive vice president of the organization.
That might be true. But Miami would probably also have more Asians if it had less of a reputation for fun-in-the-sun and more professional-level jobs. Then Miami might really live up to the title of being one of the most diverse American cities.
Saying their proposal would "secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system" and create "a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here," eight senators unveiled a "bipartisan framework for comprehensive immigration reform."
How did Florida U. S. Sen. Marco Rubio seize the leadership of the Republican Party from Paul Ryan, the Minnesota congressman who ran for vice-president with Mitt Romney?
By leading the trend to the party's nose-holding surrender on the immigration issue, argues New York Magazine. Writer Jonathan Chait says Rubio has tapped into a new GOP school of thought, which is that Republicans have no other problems except for immigration.
