JUNE 5, 2016 – 2ND ANNUAL FRIENDS OF THE ARTS FESTIVAL
A forecast of potentially stormy weather ended up being a blessing in disguise for our much anticipated 2nd Annual Friends of the Arts Festival sponsored by PNC Bank. The decision was made to utilize the gorgeous interior of St. Peter's Cathedral and the outcome was magical. With the backdrop of a 200 year old work out of art, the Quaker Hill Historic Preservation Foundation was able to promote the beautiful history of Quaker Hill while featuring the works of an amazing group of artists. The wise decision to collaborate with the Harmony on the Hill Committee to hold our Festival alongside the Annual Berry Festival at the historic Wilmington Friends Meeting House created a true community event. These historic neighboring edifices allowed Festival goers to seamlessly enjoy family oriented activities such as delicious barbecue, fresh strawberry desserts, live music, games, face painting and art projects for children. Eunice LaFate was on hand with not only her beautiful art for sale, but also her hands on folk art lesson and collaborative project for children of all ages to contribute. The QHHPF owes a debt of gratitude to not only the artist, but to the Delaware Humanities Forum for sponsoring Ms. LaFate's educational presentation. Many children participated and created thoughtful pieces that reflected their ideals of what makes their neighborhoods special or what they would like to see in their neighborhoods. Images representing inclusivity, safe havens, love and play resonated through all of their drawings, creating a tapestry of what we should strive to mold our city to be for this precious generation.
Eunice LaFate
Thanks to joint promotional efforts on the part of QHHPF, Harmony on the Hill and Downtown Visions, the Festivals drew hundreds to historic Quaker Hill, many of whom were discovering its beauty and history for the first time. In the true spirit of community, St. Peter's own Girl Scout Troop set up a table at the corner of 4th and West between St. Peter's and the Meeting House, tempting Festival goers with their delicious cookies and encouraging them to flow back and forth between the two events. Fellow Quaker Hill historic church, Tabernacle Baptist, donated all of the folding tables used for the Arts Festival while historic Hardcastle Gallery donated display panels for the art to be hung. Father Klein from St. Peter's was seen giving tours to interested groups and those perusing the art were regaled with a harmonious organ performance by St. Peter's Director of Music.
Amidst of these joyful activities, let us not forget the art! QHHPF was so fortunate and endlessly grateful to the gifted artists who participated in the Festival. From the established and renowned to the up and coming and debuting…the Festival featured paintings and photography in different mediums and styles to engage the eyes and feed the soul. There were watercolors and oils from Wynn Breslin, showcasing the breadth of her talent and proving that age (84) cannot contain or dim a youthful and talented spirit. Precise still life watercolors from Riva Brown highlighted the beauty of ordinary objects, reminding us that art and beauty is all around us. Vibrant folk art from Eunice LaFate illustrated how organic artistic talent cannot be denied and how art can bring joy to the soul while also touching on themes of diversity and community. The colorful and eclectic pieces by Madeline Porter reflect her diverse background, interests and growing sense of community activism. Debuting photographer Kaitlyn Altieri captured the beauty and architectural elements of Quaker Hill through her discerning yet romantic lens. By all metrics, the 2nd Annual Friends of the Arts Festival can be considered a success. The talent on display and the surrounding Quaker Hill community allowed art to do what it does best: reveal beauty, engage conversation, build community and uplift everyone it touches.
APRIL 1, 2016 – LANDSDOWNE FRIENDS SCHOOL FIELD TRIP
Quaker Hill echoed with the excited chatter of 20 3rd and 4th graders from Landsdowne Friends School in Upper Darby, PA as they disembarked from their bus on the corner of 4th and West early on Friday morning, April 1. This precocious bunch joined us as part of the Underground Railroad field trip conceived by their ambitious teacher Alison Levie. Ms. Levie sought to give her students a visceral experience outside of their textbooks as they traced Harriet Tubman's story all the way to her birthplace in Bucktown, Maryland. Given the school's Quaker roots and its distinction of being located near Thomas Garret's birthplace, a visit to Quaker Hill was a natural starting point on their educational journey.
The children had wonderful, inquisitive energy as we began our presentation at the corner of 5th and West at the site of the first residence in Quaker Hill built by Thomas West in 1738. The idea of history being a scavenger hunt for clues had them scouring the building and pointing out the carvings and dates they saw. We expanded our search to the Meeting House cemetery, where they were tasked with discovering Thomas Garrett's gravestone. Much energetic running and exclamations as they found dates and names that resonated with them finally led us to finding Mr. Garrett's resting place where they promptly snapped pictures with their smartphones. A true intersection of history and modern times.
Assured they had sufficiently stretched their legs, we made our way into the Meeting House itself to discuss its significance and role in Thomas Garrett's life as the site of his marriage to Rachel Mendenhall and the effect of the Hicksite schism over the Quaker community taking a proactive role in abolitionism. While the children and their chaperones enjoyed snacks and water, we explored the relationship between Thomas Garrett and Harriet Tubman in the context of the times and their remarkable accomplishments in the face of personal peril. Proving they were attentive students, the children had excellent remarks and questions. They especially enjoyed learning of Harriet's eight journeys into Wilmington and the nerve-wracking account of her, two of her brothers and other fugitives hiding in a wagon full of hay as bricklayers (and Underground Railroad operatives) provided distraction to divert potential bounty hunters as they attempted to safely cross the Market Street Bridge on the way to 227 Shipley Road.
The experience was enjoyed by all and we look forward to hosting more Lansdowne students and their families again in the future as we uphold our mission to educate visitors on the rich history of the Quaker Hill Historic District.
FEBRUARY 28, 2016 – QHHPF & DE HISTORICAL SOCIETY FAMILY UGRR PROGRAM
The Quaker Hill Historic Preservation Foundation collaborated with the Delaware Historical Society for a free family event focused on the Underground Railroad in Delaware. The QHHPF was kindly hosted by Grace Methodist Church as participants were taken on a virtual walk in the footsteps of Freedom Seekers who passed through Wilmington on their perilous journey to freedom via historical photos, documented stories of local landmarks, an interactive workbook for children, and the poem "Harriet and the Promised Land" by Jacob Lawrence. The DHS hosted participants in their Old Town Hall for activities that explored the difficult decisions made by Freedom Seekers at that time and read excerpts from the journal of Private Tillman from their archives.
FEBRUARY 20, 2016 – UNDERGROUND RAILROAD WORKSHOP FEATURING RE-ENACTOR WILLIS PHELPS COURTESY OF THE DE HUMANITIES FORUM
QHHPF hosted parents and children at the Wilmington Friends Meeting House as they explored the Underground Railroad with educator Darleen Amobi (member of Hockessin Historical Society and Kennett UGRR Center) via a coloring activity, an excerpt from "Slavery and the Importance of the UGRR", a lively discussion on the day to day life of a Freedom Seeker, and a short video about the UGRR and its heroine Harriet Tubman. Everyone enjoyed pizza from DiMeo's on Market Street and then were thoroughly captivated by historical interpreter Willis Phelps in his persona as Private James H. Elbert "C" Company 8th United States Colored Infantry, an actual Delawarean and one of the "Five Heroes of Polktown" who fought for the Union during the Civil War.
FEBRUARY 16, 2016 – ANNUAL QHHPF AND FRIENDS OF THE DICKINSON MANSION WREATH LAYING MEMORIAL
The Quaker Hill Historic Preservation Foundation and The Friends of the John Dickinson Mansion
held its Annual Dickinson Wreath Laying Memorial commemorating Founding Father and patriot John Dickinson on
February 16, 2015, at The Wilmington Friends Meeting House located on 4th and West in downtown Wilmington. Dickinson's remains are interred in the Friends Cemetery where both organizations and the public joined to hear his eulogy and remember his many accomplishments. Dickinson, a prolific writer, authored the Articles of Conferederation and held offce as Governor of Delaware after the Revolutionary War. The QHHPF keeps Dickinson's memory alive as part of its tours of historic Quaker Hill in conjunction with the Friends of the Dickinson Mansion's efforts to maintain his Dover home as a historic museum and respository for his personal effects. We look forward to coming together each year in his honor and continuing to preserve this vital piece of Delaware's history.
JANUARY 30, 2016 – QHHPF UNDERGROUND RAILROAD WORKSHOP FOR KIDS
QHHPF held an innovative and interactive workshop for tweens/teens which included stories about Harriet Tubman's experience, details about what fugitives would have carried with them on the Road to Freedom, local hero Thomas Garrett's pivotal role and doughnut making activity circa 1800's.
NOVEMBER 14, 2015 – TUBMAN-GARRETT UGRR LECTURE: DR. JAMES NEWTON
The Quaker Hill Historic Preservation Foundation had the privilege and the pleasure of hosting dynamic speaker Dr. James E. Newton on Saturday, November 14, 2015, at the Wilmington Friends Meeting House. Dr. Newton came to us from our friends at the Delaware Humanities Forum with an illustrious background as Professor Emeritus of the University of Delaware Black American Studies department. Dr. Newton is a respected authority on Delaware's and Thomas Garret's crucial role in the Underground Railroad and a passionate advocate for shining a light on this history.
Dr. Newton is a New Jersey native with deep roots in Delaware. His mother is a native of Smyrna, DE, and his wife brought him back to Wilmington in her career as an elementary school teacher. Upon their settlement here, Dr. Newton began teaching at the University of Delaware and remained for 33 active years. During his tenure, he advocated the creation of the Underground Railroad Freedom Network Act and testified before Congress on its behalf. His other affiliations included Chair for the Commission to Promote Racial and Cultural Diversity, member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Delaware State Advisory Committee, and the boards of such local community organizations as the Walnut Street YMCA, Delaware State Arts Council, Delaware Art Museum, Tatnall School, YMCA of Delaware, and Public Allies.
In 2012, Dr. Newton was named winner of the James H. Gilliam Sr. Chairman's Award by the Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League. The award recognizes pioneers for outstanding contributions and leadership in the fight for civil rights and a more equal and inclusive America. Newton was the first African-American to earn a Master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina and received his doctorate from Illinois State University. He is the author of The Principles of Diversity: Handbook for a Diversity-Friendly America and of A Curriculum Evaluation on Student Knowledge of Afro-American Life and History. He also co-edited The Other Slaves: Mechanics, Artisans and Craftsmen and has won first-prize awards in sculpture and graphics in the National African American Art Exhibition in Atlanta.
Those in attendance were regaled by Dr. Newton's fiery oratory style, which truly brought history to life with depth, passion, and humor. We were reminded of Delaware's nickname as the "Last Stop to Freedom" as Harriet Tubman smuggled fugitive slaves to Thomas Garrett's home at 227 Shipley, knocking at all hours of the night, knowing and trusting Garrett would provide whatever was needed to shepherd these fugitives to freedom via William Still in Philadelphia. The utter trust maintained between the "first diversity team in U.S. history" of Tubman and Garrett is a fact that in Dr. Newton strongly underscored. Their partnership allowed Garrett to defy the laws of man at the time to uphold the greater law of helping ones' fellow man and assist Tubman as the "Moses of her people" with guiding some 2,700 fugitives through his own home in the heart of Wilmington, Delaware.
Dr. Newton reminded us it is our duty to maintain the legacy of historic luminaries such as Harriet Tubman, Thomas Garrett, Samuel Burris, Isaac Flynt, Ezekiel Jenkins, William Still, and John Hunn. All figures with strong ties to Delaware whose beacon as upholders of freedom we must vigilantly maintain through education, preservation, and restoration. The Foundation is deeply and humbly appreciative to Dr. Newton for sharing his time and knowledge with us and moves forward greatly invigorated and inspired by his words.

Lamborghini and Koenigsegg have produced some of the most accelerative production cars the world has ever seen, such as the Aventador SVJ and Agera R. However, as this video demonstrates, a certain electric supercar can out-accelerate both.
This clip comes courtesy of Chinese publication YiChe and shows a drag race between a yellow Aventador SVJ and a white Agera R. Off the line, it is the Lamborghini that got the far superior launch as the Koenigsegg struggled to put all of its power to the ground.
Watch Also: See The Nio EP9 Set A New Goodwood Record For the Fastest Production EV
Even as the speeds started to build, the Lamborghini held onto its strong lead and crossed the quarter-mile marker in 12.32 seconds at 191.2 km/h. Meanwhile, the Koenigsegg needed 13.17 seconds to cover the same distance and crossed the line at 199.1 km/h. Both of these times are well down on what the cars are capable of as the dusty surface of the runway made it difficult to get either off the line.
However, it wasn't actually the Lamborghini that was the quickest that day, but instead a Nio EP9 that was being used by the publication as a camera car. Despite starting a bit further back than the two competitors, it sprinted off the line with far more pace than the Lamborghini and accelerated down the quarter-mile quicker than the two European supercars, although we have no time for the all-electric supercar.
All it takes is a quick look at the specs of the NIO EP9 to understand why it is so quick. It features an electric motor at each wheel that combine to produce 1,341 hp and, thanks to its instantaneous torque, can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.7 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 7.1 seconds, and 186 mph (300 km/h) in 15.9 seconds.
U.S. buyers love Japanese brands, and don't let anyone tell you different. Sure, a lot of people would rather ride off into the sunset behind the wheel of a red white and blue muscle car or pickup truck, but if we look at the numbers, Toyota and Honda are absolutely crushing it when it comes to more conventional segments.
So if you're in the market for either a compact or mid-size sedan or a compact crossover, know that most people in your situation chose something with a Japanese badge.
I know what you're thinking. Why these three segments? Why not large sedans or mid-size SUVs, where the Dodge Charger and Ford Explorer reign supreme? Well, because we're looking at nameplates that tend to move well over 200,000 units per year, or at least hover around that mark. It's certainly one way to define dominance.

Let's start small, meaning compact car sales throughout the first three quarters of 2020. Sitting high above the rest of the field (it's not even close) are the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. Sales for both models are down, but then again, this year has been very challenging and in 2019, both nameplates burst past the 200,000 units per year mark and kept going.
2021 Honda Civic (from $21,050)
The Civic is actually the world's second best-selling model for this segment, but in both 2019 and 2020, it managed to surpass the Corolla, which is world's no.1, in the U.S. according to Carsalesbase. Throughout the first three quarters of this year, Honda sold 200,941 Civics (255,484 in 2019).
You can get the Civic as a sedan, hatchback or a coupe, offering you a little more variety than the Corolla. It's also styled more aggressively than the Toyota, although the latest generation of the Corolla is definitely more stylish than its predecessors.
2021 Toyota Corolla (from $19,925)
While the Corolla is only available as a sedan or a hatchback, it does offer you the choice of hybridization. The 2021 Corolla Hybrid starts from $23,500, which is pretty decent value for money.
In terms of sales, 166,213 units of the Corolla have left showrooms throughout the first three quarters of 2020, down from 233,968 units over the same period last year.
Things are also looking very well indeed for the Corolla, because overall, it's still the best-selling car in its class across the world, surpassing even the VW Golf on a global level. Would you rather own one over the Civic? Right now, it seems that more Americans would rather go for the Honda instead.
The next segment is that of mid-size sedans, and a lot of them are still going strong in the U.S. despite how well crossovers have been doing over these past few years.
2021 Toyota Camry (from $24,970)
Available with either a 2.5-liter four-pot or a 3.5-liter V6, as well as a hybrid, the Camry is king of the hill when it comes to mid-size sedans. Toyota sold 204,945 units through the first three quarters of the year, down from 258,456 in 2019.
This means that more people bought a Camry in 2020 than a Civic, and while it's not exactly fair to compare segments, you've got to hand it to Toyota for how successful the latest generation Camry has proven to be; so far so, they even brought it to Europe as a replacement for the discontinued Avensis.
2021 Honda Accord (from $24,770)
The Accord is the second best-selling car in its class after the Camry, with 145,291 units sold in the first three quarters, down from 204,463 in 2019.
You can have it as a Hybrid or with a choice of two turbocharged gasoline units (1.5T / 2.0T). The 2.0-liter model is available with a proper 10-speed automatic gearbox, instead of a CVT like the 1.5-liter variants.
Overall, while its styling might be a little controversial compared to the sporty-looking Camry, the Accord remains a hugely practical, well-equipped and well-built car.
Compact SUVs are another segment dominated by the two Japanese brands, despite how competitive it is, with strong entries like the Chevrolet Equinox, Nissan Rogue, Jeep Wrangler and Subaru Forester.
2021 Toyota RAV4 (from $26,050)
Available with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline unit as well as a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid (Prime), the RAV4 is a true powerhouse. Toyota sold 302,574 units in the first nine months this year. That's serious volume and nearly twice the numbers of the Tacoma pickup or the full-size GMC Sierra.
Despite the pandemic, RAV4 sales in the U.S. were down just 7 percent compared to 2019, and when you consider the fact that more than one in every four vehicles sold here is a compact crossover, it shows just how much of a success story the RAV4 really is.
2021 Honda CR-V (from $25,350)
You can have the CR-V with either a 1.5-liter turbo-four or as a hybrid, with Honda selling 237,334 units through the first three quarters of 2020, down from 280,739 units last year.
Earlier this year, Honda put together a series of videos arguing that the CR-V is a better buy than rivals such as the RAV4, Nissan Rogue and Subaru Forester. Compared to the Toyota, Honda points to the CR-V as having more room inside for both passengers and cargo, but in reality the difference is negligible.
All things considered, looking at these three segments, which compact sedan, midsize sedan and compact crossover would you spend your money on? A Honda or a Toyota? Also, if you already own one of the six models we just talked about, you're more than welcome to share (and rate) your experience with it.

Today I am signing into law H.R. 4111, the ``Small Business Credit and Business Opportunity Enhancement Act of 1992.'' The Act will provide a major stimulus to the growth and development of small businesses.
H.R. 4111 will restructure the Small Business Administration's Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program. This restructuring will boost investment by the private sector in growth-oriented small businesses, while enhancing the safety and soundness of SBICs. H.R. 4111 also provides a substantial increase in authorized levels of SBA's guaranteed business loan programs. Thousands of small businesses will be able to obtain much-needed credit as a result of the expansion of these programs.
Two-thirds of all jobs in the United States are created by small businesses. This bill ensures that capital, the lifeblood of our economy, is available to help small firms start up and to help tens of thousands of existing firms to expand and grow.
Section 203 of the bill enhances small business contracting goals for a dredging program. In signing the legislation, I note that current law requires the Department of the Army to make every reasonable effort to award the designated contracting business to small business concerns.
Finally, I am pleased to note that section 331 of the bill states that it is the sense of the Congress that ``legislation and regulations that enhance the viability of small business concerns, including changes in tax and health care policy, should be given a priority for passage by the Congress.'' I urge the Congress to act promptly on this section by passing before the end of this legislative session legislation that will truly help small businesses, particularly the capital gains tax cut, the investment tax allowance, and the Administration's proposal to allow small businesses to increase their purchasing power through Health Insurance Networks, making health insurance for their employees more affordable.
Note: H.R. 4111, approved September 4, was assigned Public Law No. 102 - 366.


From 2001 to 2015, I worked in Britain, starting at University College London, then Durham University and then Professor and Head of Archaeology and Anthropology at Bristol University until 2015. My research has explored cultural change in different environments, from prehistoric societies to contemporary communities. Another of my research interests is the study of decision-making and the spread of behaviours, both historically and in the online age. My recent book was I'll Have What She's Having: Mapping Social Behaviour (MIT Press).


For fans of online gambling, 2018 has been a great year. Many provincial governments in Canada recognize that Canadians love to gamble, and they're trying to grab a piece of the pie. In British Columbia and Quebec, residents of the two provinces are able to gamble online on provincial gaming and poker sites. They operate in competition with the offshore regulators and they attract their fair share of customers who love internet gambling. 2018 has also seen a number of changes in online gambling bonuses, with more internet casinos raising the stakes in order to compete against the smaller government CA sites. No matter how the chips fall, Canadian Internet gambling fans are the winners.


Nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Some headaches are triggered by stress, loud noises, or even fatigue. Some headaches are a dull, throbbing pain while others can be debilitating. Though some only have headaches occasionally, those who suffer from chronic headaches may find long-lasting relief by visiting a chiropractor. Headaches and chiropractic care work well together to alleviate headache pain.
Foods and environmental stimuli do indeed cause headaches. Certain behaviors such as blood sugar changes, over exercising, and insomnia can also trigger headaches. Almost five percent of all headaches are the body's warning sign of a physical problem. The other ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. They are deemed primary because they are the main concern and not a symptom due to a physical problem. One direct cause of primary headaches is tightness in your neck and shoulders. This tightness can irritate sensitive pain structures in the neck, causing tension headaches.
Those with sedentary lifestyles, who sit in one position for large portions of the day, should consider taking the time to stretch every thirty minutes. Try neck stretches, but never extend past your range of motion.
Light exercise can help relieve the pain associated with primary headaches. However, those prone to throbbing headaches should avoid excessive exercise. Engage in such activities as walking or aerobics.
Avoid clenching your teeth. Clenching your teeth can irritate your temporomandibular joints—the two joints that connect your jaw and your skull more commonly known as TMJ—and cause tension headaches.
Drink plenty of water to help avoid dehydration, which can lead to headaches.
Did you know that there is a connection between relieving the pain from your headaches and chiropractic care? Headache tension can be relieved through chiropractic treatment including adjustments and soft tissue techniques such as massage. Your chiropractor may perform spinal manipulation or adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate the stress on your system. Your chiropractor may also offer advice on your posture, ergonomics (your work posture), exercises, and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper back.
A study released in 2001 by researchers at Duke University found that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for headaches that originated in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and enduring relief of tension headaches than commonly prescribed medications. Another study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (1995) found similar results. They reported that those who ceased chiropractic treatment after four weeks experienced continuous therapeutic benefits in contrast with those patients who received only medication.

Trump's Father's Day tweets: Washington Post and New York Times will fold once he's gone

On a day when the United States celebrates fatherhood, President Trump had American media on his mind.
In yet another display of his preoccupation with the press, Trump tweeted on Sunday that a poll should be conducted regarding the Washington Post and the New York Times, two of the largest news organizations in the country, without suggesting who should be queried about them or what they should be asked.
…..news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!
"A poll should be done on which is the more dishonest and deceitful newspaper, the Failing New York Times or the Amazon (lobbyist) Washington Post! They are both a disgrace to our Country, the Enemy of the People, but I just can't seem to figure out which is worse?"
Without indicating if anything specific had set off another tirade about the press, Trump said the papers would fold when he was no longer president, while again presuming he will be reelected and displaying his desire to remain in office beyond term limits.
"The good news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!"

The Washington Post was founded in 1877. It famously investigated Watergate and illegal activities orchestrated by the administration of Richard Nixon. Nixon resigned in 1974. The Post was sold in 2013 to Amazon.com founder and chief executive Jeffrey Bezos.
The New York Times was founded in 1851. It's prize-winning reporting on national and international events includes its epic coverage of Cambodia by Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran, which led to a Pulitzer Prize and the acclaimed film, "The Killing Fields."
Trump has been highly critical of the press since his presidential campaign, leading him to coin the term "fake news" for stories he perceives as less than flattering, such as reporting on the Special Counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He has called the U.S. press corps the "Enemy of the People."
Reaction to Trump's Sunday tweets included references to Father's Day. The president then tweeted: "Happy Father's Day to all, including my worst and most vicious critics, of which there are fewer and fewer. This is a FANTASTIC time to be an American! KEEP AMERICA GREAT!"

Название
Немецкое название — Розенберг ( — «гора роз») колония получила от «розовых кустов», росших на горе, при которой располагалось селение. Второе название Умёт означает хутор.

История
В 1833 году 19 семей из разных колоний самовольно поселились на отведенной колонистам нагорной стороны по Астраханскому тракту Камышинской градской земле, на Умёте, рядом с почтовой станцией Позорской. В 1849 году при разрешении поселений были зачислены во вновь образованную колонию Розенберг. Согласно другим источникам посёлок был основан в начале 1820-х годов несколькими колонистами из Усть-Кулалинского округа. В 1852 году сюда стали переселяться колонисты из селений: Лесного Карамыша, Голого Карамыша, Костышей, Верхней Добринки, Щербаковки, Водяного Буерака, Верхней Кулалинки и Усть-Кулалинки.

В 1859 году в селе был образован Розенбергский лютеранский приход. Деревянная церковь построена в 1858 году. Часть жителей составляли реформаты и баптисты.

В голод 1921 года родились 72 человек, умерли — 146. В 1926 году — сельсовет, кооперативная лавка, сельскохозяйственное кредитное товарищество, действовали 2 артели, начальная школа, библиотека. В 1928 году селу Умёт официально возвращено название Розенберг. В годы коллективизации организован колхоз «Штерн дер Бергзайте» («Новая Звезда»). По другим данным — колхозы «17 Партайтаг», «Ленинфельд». В середине 1930-х гг. в селе была организована Розенбергская МТС.

Apple MacBook is among the best laptops you can buy right now on the market. Apple is selling millions of MacBook units every year, but the company's MacBook lineup is falling behind Windows-based PCs out there. Apple has a lot of work to do to reclaim some lost market ground.
In July, Apple announced a refresh to its MacBook Pro series with the addition of Coffee Lake processors, True Tone screens, and more RAM. Apple's 2018 MacBook Pro models are targeting professional users who need top-of-the-line hardware.
However, Apple recently confirmed that its new MacBook Pro models failed to live up to expectations during its first weeks of availability. Tech experts say that Apple is planning to lower the price of its Pro models to attract more users. The Cupertino firm is expected to debut its new MacBook Air and Pro models at this year's September event. Let's wait and see.
Apple's MacBook lineup does not tend to slow down over time, thanks to its optimized software and hardware. However, it has its own problems. A lot of Mac owners have reported that they cannot connect their Mac to Bluetooth devices like Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, or speakers. If you are among those users who are struggling to deal with the issue, we are here to help.
In the section below, we are going to show you how to fix Bluetooth connection issues on your Mac. Before we begin, make sure that you now have a modern version of macOS on your machine.
If your Mac fails to connect to a Bluetooth device, then the first solution is to turn off Bluetooth on your Mac. The process is pretty simple and you can follow our guide in the section below.
Step three: Now simply wait a few seconds and turn Bluetooth back on. After that, try connecting your Mac to a Bluetooth device. If the problem is still present, then make sure you read on to find out more.
If the above-solution fails to work for you, then the next shot is to disconnect your Bluetooth devices and then re-pair them. We will cover how below.
To do this, select Apple Menu at the top and then select System Preferences from the pull-down menu. After that, click Bluetooth and you should see a list of all Bluetooth devices. Select the one you wish to un-pair with and click Un-pair. Once you are done, re-pair your Bluetooth devices to see if the problem is fixed.
If nothing works for you, then the next hope for success is to remove your Bluetooth preference list. However, the process might be unknown to many Mac users, so make sure you follow our lead in the section below.
Step three: Now just simply select the file and drag it to the desktop. Following this method, you will create a copy of your file while the original file remains the same.
Step five: Enter your admin password and hit OK. Once you are done, close all apps and restart your Mac.
Once your Mac finishes booting up, then pair your Mac to a Bluetooth device to see if the problem is fixed. To do this, select the Bluetooth preference pane and you should see your Bluetooth on the list. Hit the Pair button next to it to start the pairing process.
If none of the above solutions works for you, then the last shot to deal with the issue is to reset your Mac's Bluetooth system. Following this method, all of your current Bluetooth settings and Bluetooth devices will be removed, meaning that you need to set up the whole thing again.
Step three: Click Debug and select Reset the Bluetooth Module.
Got any issues during the process? Let us know in the comments below.
I had bluetooth connection problems on my MAC. I went through all the normal fixes including debug, reset, removing plist to no avail. I started the MAC computer in a SAFE mode by holding down the shift and have had no trouble since.


Ha ha, that's exactly what I was thinking, too!
What an amazing photo!! One of my favorites!
Hahaha! It's so true that they're perched like pigeons.
Thanks….you make the world go round.
Attention on blue. Love it! And love his looks too.
Attention on blue, love it!
And the man in the middle looks so fragile.
That face in the middle is priceless. Love expressions like that one.
This picture is a good summary of what fashion lovers are ready to do.
Love the face expressions and body positions in this one!
This is so cool! And so candid.
This is such an interesting shot!
nice pic. good mise en scene.thanx.
Different shades of blue and grey. Great composition. Good for painting.
Very cool! So much character in this picture!
I'm glad the middle guy is looking at the camera, it really makes the picture.
This man is I am afraid not so very chic Mr. Scott :( He is looking like a fashion gargoyle? But blue his pants are so fashion glamorous! I realize now the shot and it too is fashion!
This is a really great shot – love the stances.
Great shot! Love the printed trousers!!
I am a BIRD GIRL now.
Looks like a Norman Rockwell painting!


Prince George is predicted to have the strongest economic growth in Canada as compared to other mid sized cities, this according to the Conference Board of Canada. The Western Investor recently released and excellent article on Prince George and overall prospects. With job numbers remaining strong, vacancies at all time lows, growth in both the K-12 and University student populations Real Estate in Prince George looks to remain healthy.


The Warner then calls "Warning!" three times, and sallies forth with his hands clasped in front of him. In this position he must try to touch one of the other players, who strive to make him unclasp them by pulling his arms, drawing temptingly near, etc. If they succeed in making him loose his clasp, or if he does so by inadvertence, he must run home as fast as possible.
If he is caught before reaching there he loses his place as Warner. If he succeeds in touching any one without unclasping his hands the captive becomes his ally and they both run home as fast as they can. Once home, they are safe—and they then start out hand in hand, after calling the three warnings, and try to capture another, without loosing their hold. Every captured player is added to their ranks, but every one must be taken home first before he is admitted to a share in the fight.
The line of Warners thus increasing, the difficulty of evading capture grows greater at every accession to their ranks, but it is also a source of weakness, being unwieldy—and if the hands do not hold to each other very tightly, a player at large may break through at any weak point in the line and escape capture.
The field of play must be within rather narrow limits, for the only chance of the pursuing party to make captures is to pen or corner the fugitives.
The last player to escape being taken becomes the next Warner.


Small spoiler alert for people that havn't got past the mission where you use the JB 700.
So in the mission you can use the awesome spikes, and automatic shotguns. I think we can all agree it was awesome. So naturally I assumed as the bought version also had the guns visible, that you could use them.... but nope. They don't work when you buy the car, so it's just like any other car. I really do not understand this design decision, it was amazingly fun. I'm pretty dissapointed.
So yeah don't buy the Dewbauchee JB 700 if you plan on using it's guns like I was.
Yep totally posted in the wrong section. No idea how I got here. If a mod spots this, it was obviously meant for the GTA 5 or GTA 5 > Gameplay section. Oops.
Can you safe the car during the mission in your garage?
Who cares about the guns! I want the ejector seat in free roam and online! We have to start a petition!
wait until franklin unloads the car on the freeway to fight the police and then fail the mission by blowing up the car carrier.
I haven't tried this yet but it might work. Also garages don't work during missions but outdoor parking spots do.


BOND: Now, you know, your use of the term "administration" leads naturally to the Clinton administration. You become a part of the transition team for education for incoming President Bill Clinton. And immediately a firestorm erupts.
COLE: Too mild a word.
BOND: An explosion, your politics. Cuba. What did that do to you? I imagine this had never happened to you before.
COLE: It had not. I mean, nothing that was even close to the intensity, and I would say the viciousness, of that red baiting. It was horrible. There is no word that I can use more accurately than horrible. And for me, Julian, it was horrible fundamentally because I was the president of Spelman. And so here was a moment when my worst nightmare could come true. And that is that I could bring harm to Spelman. Remember a little earlier I had said that I was convinced that Marian [Wright Edelman] not only thought I could do good for her school, but I would never do anything to harm it. And it just -- it was a horrible nightmare to live through. And I must tell you that not only Marian but at that time Robert Holland, Bob Holland who you may remember for a while was the CEO of Ben and Jerry's. And that board stuck by me in a way that was truly admirable. And that I am convinced cut the possibility that I could bring harm to Spelman. When they came out immediately in my support, then where could anyone go with this? But it was a wretched period to live through.
BOND: What about students? I imagine for students this is an unusual thing for them to find themselves in the middle of. These young people -- this is unusual for them to find the head of their institution under, subjected to this kind of attack. And it may be that they're saying, "You know, could this be true? Is she a bad person?" How did they react?
COLE: Hate to be schmaltzy, but they reacted lovingly. You know, it would have been hard I think for Spelman students to really convince themselves that the person that they knew, who they saw walking around campus, and who they would vie to walk with in early morning walks, or with whom they sat in open office hours or who led them to the polls to vote, that all of a sudden this woman was the most dreaded thing in America: a communist. It was just -- it did not compute for them. And so, you know, I got a lot of "Dr. Cole, don't you worry, I'm with you. This is nonsense." But I'll tell you the truth, a whole lot of students just saw it -- to use their language -- blew it off.
BOND: But it's amazing how much salience red baiting had in this period, this modern period. I mean, the menace of the Soviet Union we've got to think that's yesterday, that's history. Why was this bite so strong? Do you think that it had anything to do with both your race and your gender? That you somehow the combination of female, black and red, was just too much?
BOND: Or was it too easy?
COLE: A lot of things contributed. Do not underestimate the Miami Cuban community. Do not ever underestimate that community. The proximity of Atlanta to Miami, I think, was important. Secondly, perhaps I overstate things, but I think a lot of folks saw the Secretary of Education post as having far more influence than it really does, ever did, and ever will. And the notion that, you know, someone they could so dread would be in that position. And then, thirdly, I think that it was an early sign that Bill Clinton was going to have some folk coming at him in all kinds of ways. It was an experience I do not want to live through again. It was also an experience that I think with the end of the Cold War and that the, in quotes, "dread of communism." We should not take deep breaths over and say -- [deep breath] -- never to happen again, because what I went through can be reconfigured. And it can be reconfigured in the area in which we live where to question things that are going on now in the aftermath of September 11th is to set one's self up to be unpatriotic.
BOND: We already see people losing jobs and being condemned and threatened and so on, because they do dare to question. It's a scary, scary phenomenon. I had not thought of the possibility of replicating this Cold War hostility in a new phase, under a new guise, in a new way.
COLE: Under a new guise.
BOND: And it is amazing that Clinton seems to me to attract a higher level of enmity for relatively little cause than any public figure in my lifetime.
COLE: In my lifetime as well.
BOND: I don't know what it is about him.
COLE: I don't know either. Sometimes I think it might be a touch of color there. He's just going to attract it. I don't know.
BOND: Maybe so. Well, I think that surely part of it that he does have this, for better or worse, strongly, weakly, this affinity for African Americans, and that's got to be so upsetting to so many people.
COLE: Got to go to the last nerve of lots of folk.
BOND: Back to Spelman. So, high SATs, high endowment, fabulous improvements on the campus, intellectual climate, heightened, improved. What didn't you do that you wish you'd done? What didn't get done?
COLE: What didn't get done, and the easiest way to describe it, is greater institutionalizing of those things. You know, things can change very quickly.
COLE: And I think that perhaps more years would have allowed what I hoped to do to become more solid.
COLE: There is no question I certainly could have had more than ten. I mean, the board I think the point when I went to them and said I thought it was time I know the board was prepared for me to stay for another hunk of time. Julian, I had this dread of staying too long.
COLE: And when I look at our institutions, our colleges and universities, and our organizations, I am really convinced that we have done great harm by staying too long. And so I've always wanted to go when people still wanted me to stay. I went to Emory. Three years, folk were asking me why did I need to retire. Because folks still wanted me to stay -- best time to leave.
BOND: Yes, I'm just reading it's best to leave while people still want you to stay.
BOND: But how do you know when they still want you to stay?
BOND: And are they sometimes just saying, "You're great, you're wonderful, you're fabulous."
COLE: There were many signs. I mean, it was, in my view, a magical era. It was a very special presidency. And when I think about why -- you know, I really have to go to general biblical expression: "The least among you." And in real terms, one can say that African-American women have been put in the position of being the least among us. Black, female, and so often poor. And so to lift up a place of African-American women is to do a mighty task.


Dancing is an act of moving the body in rhythm, usually in time to music. Dancing is both an art and a form of recreation. As art, dance may tell a story, set a mood, or express an emotion. As a form of recreation, dancing has long provided fun, relaxation, and companionship. I believe dance instills flexibility in children as well as adults.
Tap teaches a sense of rhythm, timing, phrasing, coordination, & develops an alert & quick thinking mind. Classes include floor techniques, combinations & graded dances set to the music of yesterday, today & tomorrow. Children, Young Adults, & Senior Citizens are discovering untold hours of fun and pleasure in tap dancing.
Beginning Ballet comprises correct placement for the body, feet, head, and arms & the study of the five basic positions and all the elementary movements stemming from them. Intermediate classes gradually learn more complex steps including turns, leaps, jumps, & beats. The exercises are performed in more rapid tempo and dace sequences are introduced as well as some classical variations.
Jazz is the American contribution to dance style & is free form technique set to modern jazz rhythms & Broadway show tunes as well as today's music. Emphasis in each class is placed on floor stretches, isolations, jazz walks, & choreographic jazz styles and combinations.
Offered as a concentration class in the principles of ballet. This class is available for beginners to advanced students.
An upbeat fun dance set to clean music is another form of movement called hip-hop. Students will learn the newest dance moves to a fast paced age appropriate selection of music.
We have several levels of competition teams. These teams require additional classes and dedication from both students and parents. Evaluation by the team teachers is required for consideration to be eligible for team membership.
Ages 2.5-4 years. This is a combination class which involves basically tap and ballet. We do some tumbling & some jazz on occasion. The fee is $60.00 per month for a 45 minute lesson once a week.
This is also a combination class consisting of Tap, Ballet, & Jazz. During the hour long class we do tap and alternate ballet and jazz on a weekly basis. The fee for this class is $65.00 per month.
Hip Hop for 5 & 6 year olds is a 45 minute class once a week and the fee is $60.00 per month. Hip Hop for those aged 8+ is an hour lesson once a week. The fee is $65.00 per month for the weekly lesson.

"The UNESCO world heritage committee added 17 buildings and ensembles of the architect Le Corbusier to the world heritage list at its meeting in Istanbul in July 2016. The buildings selected include the Villa Savoye in Paris and both buildings of the Stuttgart Weissenhofsiedlung housing project, which were already considered as icons of architectural history. The Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, known colloquially as the housing machine, is also part of the world heritage. Based on this modern type of apartment building, the Corbusier House in Berlin was realised, built in Berlin in 1957 and placed under a preservation order in 1996. As part of the maintenance of Le Cooperations heritage, in the course of the renovation of the Corbusier House, his "Architectural Polychromy" was also used.
The buildings symbolise Le Cooperations important role in the architecture of the 20th century and are evidence of the globalisation of modernity. Criteria for the recognition as a UNESCO world heritage site include the extraordinarily universal value of the site and a management system that ensures the retention of the heritage for future generations."
To this day, Le Corbusier's work has had an impact on our idea of modern architecture. It is impressive how timeless and powerful his buildings and colours are.
Giving rooms the desired atmosphere by using the appropriate combination of shades is true art. Harmonically matched to one another such as the protagonists of an orchestra, the colours of the "Architectural Polychromy" and therefore the products of the Les Couleurs® network partners are a perfect combination.
To this day, Le Corbusier's work has had a substantial influence on architecture and design. For him, colour was just as important as layout and form for his buildings and designs.

Review: Archie #1
He's America oldest teenager, a redheaded high-school student who's spent the past seventy-four years caught in a humorous-though-sometimes-vicious tug-of-war between a sweet, girl-next-door type door named Betty, and a hot-tempered, spoiled brat named Veronica. Through the decades he's dealt with battles of the bands, monsters, aliens, teenage witches, and even Marvel Comics' Punisher, but in all those years, Archie Andrews has always managed to avoid the one life-changing event that has struck every mainstream comic character: a series reboot.
And so we have Archie #1, the start of the all-new, all-different series written by Mark Waid (Star Wars: Princess Leia), illustrated by Fiona Staples (Saga), and published by Archie Comics. In this premiere issue, Archie and the gang at Riverdale High get a real-world makeover, complete with teen angst, hashtags, a homecoming dance, and an Archie who breaks the fourth wall to directly address the reader, filling you in on all the drama currently unfolding in his life.
Think of it as Thornton Wilder's play Our Town, for the iTunes generation.
Storywise, I was hesitant about how this relaunch would be handled by Waid, an accomplished writer who certainly has the talent to create good stories, but who's been in the business for three decades. Would he be able to write for contemporary teenagers, or would it read like someone's dad trying to prove he's "hip" with the kids? Flashing through my mind were memories of DC's Brother Power the Geek, a 1960s hippie "superhero" created by Captain America co-creator Joe Simon, who, in his late fifties, made cringe-worthy attempts to appeal to the counterculture. Luckily, Waid avoids Simon's pitfalls by focusing on his strong points: dialogue and characterization.
For longtime Archie fans, though, Staples's new look for the characters themselves may take some getting used to. Gone are the familiar cartoony faces and sleek lines perfected by artists like Dan DeCarlo (although that house style will still have a home at Archie Comics), replaced with a more realistic approach, punctuated by the type of subtle and effective facial expressions and body language you wouldn't find in an old-school Archie title. For newer fans who've been attracted to the company in recent years by such things as the introduction of Kevin Keller (the first gay Archie character), the launch of the zombie-apocalyptic Afterlife with Archie, and recent crossovers with KISS and Predator, the new-look Archie shouldn't seem like such a surprise.
Bottom line? A reinvigorated, redesigned Archie and his pals, just in time to celebrate their upcoming 75th anniversary, is a bold move, yet one that seems certain to appeal to an all-new generation of fans—as well as older comic readers who no doubt have considered Archie Comics as being solely for kids. Check out the new Archie—like his best friend, Jughead, you might just come back for second and third helpings.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is a major agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The top-level official of the FHWA is the Administrator, who reports directly to the Secretary of Transportation. FHWA is headquartered in Washington DC, with field offices in every state.
FHWA is charged with the broad responsibility of ensuring that America's roads and highways continue to be the safest and most technologically up to date. Although state, local and tribal governments own most of the nation's highways, we provide financial and technical support to them for constructing, improving and preserving America's highway system. Our budget, which is funded by fuel and motor vehicle excise taxes, is divided primarily between two programs: (1) federal-aid funding to state and local governments, and (2) Federal Lands Highways funding for national parks, national forests, Indian lands, and other land under federal stewardship.
The Florida Division of the FHWA does not build or repair roads in the state. Rather, it provides funding for qualifying state and local highway and other related transportation projects. In addition, the division offers technical assistance and oversight to ensure federal requirements are met.
To work in cooperation with our transportation partners to ensure that Florida's transportation network meets the needs and exceeds the expectations of our customers.
To achieve this mission we will:
Empower employees and value their diversity
Be flexible and innovative
Be customer driven
Be visionary
Be good stewards of the public trust
Recognizing that people are our most valuable resource, we will create a working environment where the team members are encouraged to develop and use their skills and abilities to the fullest.
