Here's how Gov. Holcomb's plan to boost teacher pay could widen pay gap in Indiana
Gov. Eric Holcomb has a proposal to save districts money and he wants the cash to go to teachers. If schools do it, some teachers will see $1,000 bumps and others just $500.

Gov. Eric Holcomb outlines his priorities in his 2019 State of the State address. Jenna Watson, jenna.watson@indystar.com
A plan to save public school districts money — and hopefully get those dollars into the pockets of overworked, underpaid teachers — was supposed to save schools millions.
In some cases, like large and suburban districts in the Indianapolis metro area, it will. And teachers in those districts are poised to see raises of $1,000 or more. In some small and rural districts, though, the savings will be paltry and teachers may see little benefit.
The plan, which Gov. Eric Holcomb unveiled this month during his State of the State address, would take $150 million from Indiana's budget reserves and pay off an unfunded portion of the state's retirement fund for teachers, dropping the amount that school districts are required to pay toward the plan. Holcomb said he wants those savings to go toward raising teachers' salaries — a top issue at the Statehouse this year.
Some districts, like Speedway Schools, have already said they'll do just that.
"If the governor's proposal becomes law, we will direct the savings into teacher salaries," Superintendent Ken Hull said. "We believe that we have exceptional teachers who deserve the best compensation possible."
Others, though, aren't moving as fast. In a state with robust school choice and where money follows students, some small school districts could see their savings erased by enrollment losses.

Fund teachers: Why more money for schools may not mean more for teachers
The state of the state is strong: 5 takeaways from Gov. Holcomb's address
An analysis from the Indiana Public Retirement System, which manages the state's public pension programs, estimated savings for public school districts based on their eligible wages paid in fiscal year 2018. Contributions to the pension fund are paid as a percentage of wages, and the governor's plan would drop school districts' required contribution by 2 percent.
A 2 percent reduction in 2018 would have saved schools nearly $63 million. Eligible wages would have to grow by more than 11 percent from the 2018 fiscal year to hit the $70 million savings target. The governor's office said that figure was an estimate, based on expected wage growth and other factors.
Larger school districts benefit more than smaller ones
Should the plan be adopted, the state's largest districts stand to save millions in pension payments.
Based on the analysis of 2018 wages, Indianapolis Public Schools could save more than $2 million a year. Lawrence, Perry and Wayne townships would save more than $1 million. Hamilton Southeastern Schools would save nearly $1.5 million.
For tiny Medora Community Schools in rural Jackson County, the loss of just two students would erase the $12,000 that district is projected to save. An enrollment drop of two students — or even 10 students — spread across all 13 grade levels isn't enough to cut staff. So fixed costs will stay the same, but state money will drop, explained Roger Bane, superintendent at Medora.
"The money following the student like it is right now is hurting all the small schools," he said.
That will remain true, he said, as long as the state has open enrollment between districts.
This fall, the district lost 85 students through transfers to other public school districts, to public charter schools or through the state's private school voucher program. Most of those were to a neighboring public school district, Brownstown Central Schools.
The total amount schools would save isn't the only disparity, either. The amount school districts save per teacher also varies widely.
Some districts, like South Henry Schools, are projected to save as little as $500 a year per teacher. The district, in a rural area between Indianapolis and Richmond, has fewer than 60 teachers and will benefit far less than almost every other district in the state.
East Porter Schools, serving 2,500 students in northwest Indiana, is on the low end, too. It will get back a little less than $650 a year for each of its 160 teachers.

Indianapolis-area schools would see big benefits
Some districts in Marion and surrounding counties will bank more than $1,000 per teacher. Wayne Township is looking at somewhere around $1,100 per teacher, as are Perry, Washington, Pike and Warren townships, Speedway, Hamilton Southeastern, Carmel Clay, Plainfield and Westfield-Washington schools.
While 25 districts stand to save around $1,000 per teacher, more than 60 districts look to get $750 or less to theoretically put toward their teachers' paychecks.
And this figure matters, especially when schools are being encouraged to put this money back into teachers' pockets. Should they do so, the suburban districts that already tend to pay their teachers more will have greater capacity to raise salaries, potentially widening the pay gap between rich and poor districts.
"It will absolutely widen the gap," said Bane, whose district in Medora is projected to save about $600 for each of its 20 teachers.
The disparity in savings per teacher is largely driven by two factors: the age of a district's workforce and what the district is already paying its teachers. Teachers who were hired before 1996 aren't included in the pension fund at issue (they're in a different pension fund), and therefore districts won't save any money on those teachers.
And because the savings are a percentage of eligible wages, districts that are already paying their teachers higher wages will save more.
Many of the districts that stand to benefit the most from the plan have passed property tax increases in their communities in the last several years, enabling them to boost teacher pay ahead of a concerted effort by the state to do so.
How one small school district is seeing bigger savings
One example isBrown County Schools, a small, rural district with declining enrollment. They should be on the lower end of the scale, but projections show the district would save around $1,000 per teacher, per year.
Superintendent Laura Hammack said the district has been concerned about teacher pay for years and took a tax referendum to voters in May 2016. Pitched as a way to raise salaries, the referendum passed and teachers have received a raise each of the last three years.
But, she said, they want to do more and the governor's proposal could help them do just that.
"We're really excited about this line of thinking," Hammack said. "We genuinely think that this will translate into more dollars for teachers."
Not every school district can pass a referendum, though, to help close the gap between "haves" and "have nots."
'You're either increasing enrollment or declining enrollment'
Chris Lagoni, executive director of the Indiana Small and Rural Schools Association, said schools are largely grateful for the governor's proposal and really any effort to get them more funding or cut expenses.
All school districts want to pay their teachers better, he said, but the state's funding formula hurts schools with declining enrollment and many small, rural districts are at a disadvantage. And some of his member districts just can't pass a referendum.
"There are two groups," he said. "You're either increasing enrollment or declining enrollment."
While all school districts will save under the proposal, it won't do anything to address the disparity between districts. There seems to be little agreement on how to fix that problem, though. Most lawmakers argue that teacher pay is inherently a local decision, so the state can encourage districts to raise pay but won't mandate it.
Rep. Terry Goodin, a Democrat from Austin and superintendent of Crothersville Schools, said lawmakers should just increase school funding instead of playing what he calls a "shell game."
"If you really want to give a pay raise, stop the hocus pocus," he said. "Just give a pay raise. Put the money in (the budget) to give a raise."
Pension bid is only first step to boost pay, Holcomb aide says
Rachel Hoffmeyer, spokesperson for the governor, said that the pension proposal is a first step in Holcomb's effort to improve teacher pay statewide.
He is also pulling together a task force to study the issue and make recommendations for the next budget session.
"Over the long term, the Governor is creating the Next Level Teacher Pay Commission, which will be tasked with identifying resources that can be made available to make sure Indiana's teacher compensation is competitive with neighboring states and ready to act on by the 2021 legislative session," Hoffmeyer said in an email.
The governor also included in his proposed budgeta 2 percent increase in general education funding, which he hopes will also lead to higher wages for teachers.
The pension plan will have to be taken up by the General Assembly, likely as an amendment to the budget bill. House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, said Thursday that lawmakers could tweak the proposal, but called it a wise investment.
"We may have to adjust that," he said. "But the vast majority of schools will receive a substantial reduction in expenditures to the teacher retirement fund."

Antique Buddhist Shrine Cabinet (Antique Chinese Worship Cabinet or Display Cabinet). This elegant late Qing Dynasty cabinet was probably used as a worship or a display cabinet. The open shelf is surrounded by carved lotus motif, with the same motif carved into the apron. The carving is well executed and done in a early traditional style, sometimes called 'scrolling grass'. This open area would traditionally have been used as the area in which to place a worship item or offerings. Today, it would still be nicely used as a worship or display cabinet but also as a bookcase or even a media cabinet: blue-ray, DVD, & music above and the screen below.
Inside the cabinet are two drawers and a spacious area with brackets for a shelf. Also available is a hidden compartment, accessed by lifting the wooden plank.
Ornamental brass escutcheons adorn the pull hinges for the 2 doors. The hardware is all original. This antique cabinet is a very good example of a 'softwood' piece imitating a classical hardwood piece. Also, the finish on the piece is often referred to as Zitan finishing. The finish is almost entirely intact and the lacquer has traces of silver.

Climate change issues such as floods and tropical cyclones will occur more frequent in the near future. These issues are exposing both governments and communities to an increase of loss and damages infrastructure and household assets. One approach to reduce such impact is through Adaptation approach that is to equip people with the knowledge capacity on addressing climate change issues and act accordingly the threats posed. This also means, that institutions and organizations also needs to be equipped with disaster management knowledge capacity to respond faster and efficiently to disasters.
The workshop as facilitated by the World Food Programme is to strengthen capacity and capabilities of DMO and its ally partners to prepare for and respond to disasters in a timely, effective and well-coordinated manner by provision of support within WFPs global mandate, cluster lead agency responsibility and technical expertise.
One of the biggest problems faced by governments and organizations is the lack of information shared on the disaster impact after it struck. To identify which areas were deeply impacted, identifying evacuating sites as well as the number of households in need of food. Therefore the WFP has developed a 72 hour approach that will assist in identifying gaps to ensure the efficiency of our services to communities.
The approach aims to provide decision makers with information at a very communicative manner within 72 hours. The general objective is to systematically improve services and information services to ensure that an International Organization such as WFP will be able to provide food security assistance.
• Increase awareness and verify roles and responsibilities among the cluster members on the 72 hours approach.
The workshop composed of technical presentations, consultative discussions and demos to seek for technical sensitization and political agreement among FSC members, Government partners, WFP and other UN and NGO partners. The discussions and conclusions from the training will lay a cornerstone foundation for the potential of the implementation of the 72 hours approach in Samoa.

When you think of situations in which class is highly visible, the chances are that the example of air travel will not immediately come to mind. Yet this is one of the most relevant environments where we can see the mechanisms of inequality come into play.
When you buy airplane tickets, you have the option to select from a range of different classes. Depending on your chosen airline, these can include economy, premium economy, business or first class. The higher the class, the more your travel experience will be improved. Advantages of upper classes include: more spacious seating areas, gourmet dining, a queue-skipping feature worthy enough to rival Disneyland and much more. The appeal of these factors is only magnified when you consider the cramped, claustrophobic and dingy environment economy passengers must endure for up to eighteen hours at a time.
However – as may seem ludicrously obvious – these upper classes come with a hefty price tag. Even to upgrade from economy to premium economy – a section still far removed from first class – can be at least double the price. I learnt this when I flew premium economy on Cathay Pacific from New Zealand to Spain. Considering the already sky-high (pun intended) prices of airplane tickets, this is no trivial fact.
Air rage is a common byproduct of this visibility of class. A study by DeCelles and Norton support how maddening it is to board a long-haul flight knowing your seat is located right at the back, and that you must sidle your way past the 'prioritised' classes to get there. I always find myself gazing longingly at the luxurious fold-out beds and passengers sipping on complementary cocktails, yearning for a spontaneous and unannounced upgrade. The researchers reported how – on a psychological scale – this air rage is the equivalent to a nine and a half hour flight delay. If that isn't shocking enough, then you might be surprised to learn that this anger is in fact greater in first class passengers who are burdened with those from economy invading their exclusive, personal space (if you are curious regarding my opinion on that matter, you just have to pay attention to my tone).
The price tag is exactly what prevents a majority of people from the opportunity to upgrade from the discomfort of economy class. I expect most would argue that if you pay for something, then you are entitled to receive it; but the point is that it's not a fair playing ground to begin with. The income gap is only increasing, and airline stratification systems reflect this. I am no economics expert (I smell maths), so you do not need to worry about me launching into a lecture on societal inequality. But this article framed it in a simple way when it said, "(this) 'calculated misery'… involves degrading basic service to a level so low that non-masochistic passengers will pay up to avoid the pain. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to pay these ancillary fees. Those who can't or won't fork over more are made to suffer for it".
Given the consequences of this classist visibility on airplanes, I believe that airlines should be taking measures to try and improve the system. Of course, this outcome would only come to fruition in an ideal world – and unfortunately, we live in the real world, where companies are driven by profit and not morals. Therefore, in light of the fact that I'm not about to change the world anytime soon, I hope this post has at the very least educated you on an issue that all travellers have encountered (whether they realise it or not).
The next time you take to the skies – whichever cabin you are seated in – take a moment or two to reflect on the stark difference of quality between economy and the upper classes. Take a moment or two to reflect on the justness of the situation, and – considering the psychological and physical repercussions – ask yourself whether you think it's really worth it.

Visiting Ann Arbor for the weekend but struggling to find activities appropriate for the entire family to enjoy? In previous posts, we have talked about many of the museums and parks but these barely scratch the surface of all of the family options available for you near your University of Michigan Hotels.
What family doesn't love visiting a petting zoo for weekend fun?
Thomas Monaghan, whose company Domino's Pizza located its headquarters on a renovated farm near Ann Arbor, decided to hire a staff to create a farm-themed family activity center on site to honor the legacy of the history of his property.
Did You Know That Fairy Doors Live All Over Ann Arbor (and Near All University of Michigan Hotels)?
Starting in 1995 people began experiencing strange encounters with tiny Fairy Doors all over the city of Ann Arbor. First, they were discovered in private homes but soon after began turning up in businesses and nooks and crannies all over town. It wasn't too much later that the children's book "Who's Behind the Fairy Doors" by Jonathan B. Wright was released.and a phenomenon was born.
You can start your families tour of Ann Arbor's fairy doors wherever you desire (there is even a fairy door inspired Diorama in one of the area Starbucks stores) but you will enjoy this quest forevermore once it has been started.
Every year the Wild Swan Theater premieres productions from their home base of Ann Arbor and then tours them throughout Michigan and the Midwest.
What better way could you spend an evening with the family watching a performance by one of the "most admired professional theaters for families in the Nation." New productions can first be viewed at the Towsley Auditorium on the campus of Washtenaw Community College, 4800 E. Huron River Drive in Ann Arbor.
Staying at the Bell Tower will always put you within walking distance of great food and amazing performances near all of the University of Michigan hotels.

This charming song is based around an even- 8ths groove similar to calypso, or to Horace Silver' s Cape Verdean Blues. The melody fits the groove in its stop- and- start patterns which develop an arpeggiated theme over the changes. Recorded in October 1965 and released the following year Cape Verdean Blues by Horace Silver deserves to be more widely heard. For all kinds of reasons, Cape Verdean Blues is a much more modernist. The Cape Verdean Blues is a tribute to the West African homeland of Silver' s father.
Pretty Eyes was Silvers' first original waltz. Nutville is both complex and uniquely catchy.
The Cape Verdean Blues is simply one of the most inspired sessions of Horace Silver' s long and outstanding career.

Redox cycling of potential antitumor aziridinyl quinones.

The formation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) during redox cycling of newly synthesized potential antitumor 2,5-bis (1-aziridinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (BABQ) derivatives has been studied by assaying the production of ROI (superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide) by xanthine oxidase in the presence of BABQ derivatives. At low concentrations (< 10 microM) some BABQ derivatives turned out to inhibit the production of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by xanthine oxidase, while the effect on the xanthine-oxidase-induced production of hydrogen peroxide was much less pronounced. Induction of DNA strand breaks by reactive oxygen species generated by xanthine oxidase was also inhibited by BABQ derivatives. The DNA damage was comparable to the amount of hydroxyl radicals produced. The inhibiting effect on hydroxyl radical production can be explained as a consequence of the lowered level of superoxide, which disrupts the Haber-Weiss reaction sequence. The inhibitory effect of BABQ derivatives on superoxide formation correlated with their one-electron reduction potentials: BABQ derivatives with a high reduction potential scavenge superoxide anion radicals produced by xanthine oxidase, leading to reduced BABQ species and production of hydrogen peroxide from reoxidation of reduced BABQ. This study, using a unique series of BABQ derivatives with an extended range of reduction potentials, demonstrates that the formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by bioreductively activated antitumor quinones can in principle be uncoupled from alkylating activity.

Paralysis kills business, procrastination is cited as one of the biggest regrets by owners of failed small business.
When you have a small team, procrastinating for a few hours can be a huge cost, as each person carries a larger impact on the bottom line.
What I suggest is develop some systems or processes to highlight when it is happening, then how to deal with it, much better to identify and deal with it now rather than tomorrow.
It doesn't take long and is well worth your time investment….

After contacting CBS 2, the Monee couple finally get a stimulus check after being promised a debit card someone else got their hands on – CBS Chicago
MONEE, Ill. (CBS) – At CBS 2, we always work for Chicago – and almost every day we are reminded of the power of a well-placed phone call or email.
A Monee couple believe it was an email from us that finally helped them get the stimulus money they've been waiting for since last April. CBS 2's Marie Saavedra reported Friday night on the long and winding story that ended in failure.
READ MORE: Harvey police officer Marcus Patterson receives accolades for shooting gun-toting teenage suspect, but refraining from pulling the trigger
Mike and Debbie Brandt of Monee are laughing about it now because they finally can. But they called us to explain how their wait for their stimulus check in 2021 turned into a months-long job.
"When we first got the letter from the IRS in April, they said we were going to get the $5,600 – and if we didn't get it, to call them," Debbie Brandt said.
You will recall that there were problems with this deployment. The Brandts thought theirs was just delayed, but in August they learned they were receiving a debit card, not a check, from a different financial institution than they originally thought.
"Another bank sent us a debit card," Debbie said, "and that's where the problem lies."
This bank was Money Network. Debbie called to ask where the card was.
"The lady I spoke to was like, 'Oh no, you're out of money on your card,'" Debbie says. "I said, 'Well, we never got a card! ""
The Brandts say records show someone found his card last April and spent $1,200 at Luis Vuitton, and also withdrew $2,000 in cash, among other things.
"She said, 'Well, you spent it,'" Debbie said. "I said, 'No, we didn't. ""
The couple therefore appealed last October, sending in a police report, letters and more – but the Brandts say they were refused. Every month since, they have been trying to get their due, spending hours on the phone.

"So we have no idea why it's being challenged or why it's being rejected, and it continues," Mike said.
After their last refusal, they called us and we emailed Money Network. On Tuesday, a spokesperson said they contacted The Brandts directly with the results of an investigation.
Ten months after the pledge, and a week after we reached out, a check showed up on the couple's doorstep via FedEx.
The Brandts are happy, but worried about the others in the same boat, without the time or resources they have devoted to finding him.
"We're lucky that we don't desperately need this money, but how many families are there?" Mike said. "And that is our concern."
There's still a lot we don't know about what happened here. How was the debit card stolen? Why has Money Network denied the couple so often? What changed in the two weeks to get their money?
After several solicitations, the bank's spokesperson did not answer our questions.
CBS 2 is committed to Work for Chicagoconnecting you every day with the information you or a loved one may need in the job market and helping you break down barriers to returning to work.
We will continue to uncover information every day to help this community get back to work, until the jobs crisis passes.

Home Scores Bracket Full printable bracket Rankings Stats Video History
Salisbury Athletics | March 23, 2014
No. 1 Salisbury drops second game to No. 18 Christopher Newport 2-0
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- No. 1 Salisbury got out to the best start in program history, picking up an 11-2 win in the first game of a doubleheader, before dropping the second 2-0 to No. 18 Christopher Newport at Captains Park.
Game 1: Salisbury 11, Christopher Newport 2 (6 innings)
Salisbury opened Game 1 scoring in the top of the second inning, plating three runs. Sophomore Katie Sebbane got things started with a solo home run to lead off the inning off CNU starter Krista Lewis.
Angela Malgieri singled with one out and advanced on a groundout before scoring on senior Angelia McDowell's single to right field.
McDowell advanced to second on the throw home, and would score later on a Captain error for the 3-0 lead.
The Sea Gulls expanded the lead in the third inning with four runs on five hits. Sophomore Kim Dorsey began things with a single up the middle and advanced to third on a wild pitch and Paige Knussman's single to right.
Molly Gigioli pinch ran for Knussman and the Salisbury lead grew to 4-0 when Dorsey scored on Rebecca Hoey's infield single.
Molly Simpson's single scored pinch runner Caitlin Lake and McDowell's double down the left-field line scored Simpson and Maglieri to make the lead seven runs.
Hoey drove in a run in the fourth for an 8-0 lead before the Captains became the first team to get to Salisbury starter Rachel Johnson for the first time all year.
In the fifth, Christopher Newport put together two hits, to push across two runs, the first earned runs surrendered by Johnson this season.
The two runs were not enough as the Gulls would add three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Knussman's two-run single. Johnson shut down the Captains through the rest of the game, giving up just one walk and striking out 13 in the contest, her eighth victory of the year.
Knussman was 3-for-4 in the game, while four other Sea Gulls had two hits in the contest.
The win for Salisbury was the 15th consecutive to open the season, giving the Sea Gulls the program's best start, topping the 14-0 opening to the 1999 campaign. The game also marked the first home loss for the Captains, who entered the day 10-0 at Captains Park.
Game 2: Christopher Newport 2, Salisbury 0
In the second game, the two pitchers controlled the game through the majority of the contest. The Sea Gulls failed to get a runner into scoring position against Christopher Newport starter Makayla Jenkins until the third inning, but had their best chances to score late in the game.
Salisbury senior Kathryn Larson kept the CNU bats at bay, as well, keeping the Captains off the scoreboard until the fifth inning. Larson, a Frederick, Md., native, worked through a few tight situations early in the game. In the first, Christopher Newport put runners at first and second with a pair of two-out hits, but Larson got a groundout to end the threat.
It was the first of four innings in which Larson worked out of situations with two runners on base. She scattered nine hits of 4.1 innings in the contest.
Salisbury's best chance to break the scoreless tie came in the top of the fourth inning when Knussman led off the frame with a single to center field.
Gigioli pinch ran for Knussman and was moved into scoring position on Sebbane's bunt before getting to third on a wild pitch, with one out. But a strikeout and a fly out ended the threat.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, it was the Captains (17-5) who broke the tie. Sabrina Hill led off the inning with a chopper behind the second base bag, and advanced on a groundout. After Larson got another grounder, with Hill still at second, Taylor Dillow came up with the game-winning hit, a sharp grounder just inside the first base bag, allowing Hill to score from second.
The Captains scored an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth off Johnson, who came on in relief in the fifth, and Salisbury was retired in order in the seventh.

The Croatian Association of Plastics and Rubber Industry (HGK), in cooperation with Croatian Utility Association as well as the Faculty of Chemical Technology worked to establish a circular economy system for waste plastics and textiles, to enable to return valuable raw materials to the manufacturing process of domestic recycling and processing industries. The project, LIFE PlasTex, first started in 2015, and has grown to include 12 partners, 5 utility companies, 1 local community, Chambers of Economy from Croatia and Slovenia and 4 companies.
Through this project a Plastics Waste Platform will be established. The main aim of this Platform will be to join all stakeholders interested in finding the best available solutions for plastics waste management issue in Croatia, promote and drive activities to prevent plastics entering the marine environment, and work on educational and research programs. The Platform should help to establish plastic waste trade activities collecting the data from utility companies with collected amount by sort of plastic waste and the industry willing to buy it for use in the production of new products. The output of this project will be new products made from collected plastic waste.
Regardless of the outcome of the project evaluation the partners are willing to continue joint cooperation which will include also awareness raising for consumers about plastic waste and marine litter.

Folgosinho
"Descansemos aqui… e vamos todos tomar um folgosinho de ar!" (Let us rest here... and let us all take a "little breath" of air). These were D. Afonso Henriques (or D. Sancho I, the legend diverges) orders to his men, delighted that he had conquered the pure air and crystal waters of that difficult-to-reach village, on the northern slope of Serra da Estrela. And so, during a rest stop in the pursuit of the Moors, the village of Folgosinho (little breath) was baptized.
But the king of Portugal would not have been the first illustrious to lose himself in those slopes. Folgosinho people still claim that the village is the birthplace of Viriato, the Portuguese hero in the fight against the Romans. It is said that it was Viriato who laid the first stones of the castle - a fortification that is certainly quite different from the one we find at the top of the village these days. Rebuilt in 1938, the wall of Folgosinho - an "invented castle", as some call it - is today a circular structure only 10 meters in diameter. But that does not take away its charm: erected in pink-white quartz, it is a unique construction and offers a breath-taking view over the horizon, as far as the eye can see.
Along with the castle, the rich and varied gastronomy (kid goat, lamb, cabidela (or blood) rice, wild boar feijoada, Serra da Estrela cheese, curd cheese with pumpkin jam, rice pudding made with sheep's milk, among other delicacies) also attracts tourists to Folgosinho. But there is much more to see in this bucolic village of brave men, full of fountains, and streets decorated with popular sayings.

Israel is the aggressor, not Gazans
Tony Iltis
Tens of thousands of people march for Gaza in London on July 26.
"This is not a war. It is genocide," reads a popular slogan on homemade signs at protests against Israel's current attack on the Gaza Strip.
The body count is enough to illustrate the one-sidedness of the violence. For the first nine days of their assault, Israeli forces pounded the besieged territory from the land, sea and air, but did not send forces in. About 250 people were killed in these nine days. Only one was Israeli.
Israeli ground operations that started on July 17 increased the casualty rate for both Palestinians and Israelis. By August 1, 1592 Palestinians and 66 Israelis had been killed, the New York Times said. That is 24 Palestinians killed for every Israeli.
Dramatically larger than the disparity between the two sides in overall numbers killed is the disparity in the number of civilians killed.
On the Israeli side, only three of the fatalities were civilians — 95% of Israelis killed by Palestinians were combatants.
Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem published figures on July 31 that showed that between July 8 and July 30 less than 14% of the Palestinians killed by Israelis were combatants.
Three Palestinian combatants have been killed for every Israeli combatant while 473 Palestinian civilians have been killed for every Israeli civilian.
About a quarter of the Palestinians killed have been children and adolescents.
The body counts do not show the terrible material damage inflicted by the Israeli assault. Homes, shops, schools, hospitals, agricultural infrastructure, sewerage treatment, water supply, the territory's power station, cat breeding kennels and a home for disabled people have all been bombed.
Illegal siege
The suffering caused by this destruction is amplified by the illegal starvation siege that Israel and its allies have held Gaza under since 2006. This not only deprives the territory of basic necessities but has prevented reconstruction following previous Israeli onslaughts in 2006, 2009 and 2012.
Deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Israel claims it tries to avoid killing civilians.
As evidence it cites its practice of dropping "warning" leaflets on areas it is about to obliterate, and sending text messages and recorded phone messages to randomly selected residents.
These warnings usually only arrive a short time before the bombs, shells and missiles.
Using these warnings Israel advises Gaza residents to flee while preventing them from doing so. No area in the Gaza Strip is safe and it is Israel that makes leaving the territory impossible.
The UN has advised Gaza residents to shelter in UN buildings such as schools and has advised the Israeli military of their location and guaranteed that they shelter only civilians and house no Palestinian combatants or weapons.
These locations have been routinely targeted by Israeli forces and have been the scene of many of the civilian casualties.
Central to Israeli propaganda is the claim that Israel is defending itself from mortars and rockets fired from the Gaza Strip by Palestinian resistance groups.
These claims ignore the fact that these mostly home-made weapons are generally used responsively. Before the current Israeli assault, resistance fighters had largely refrained from firing weapons out of the territory for two years.
Since the assault began, mortar and rocket fire from Gaza has been described by Israeli propaganda as attacks on Israeli civilians. Their low kill rate is cited as evidence of Palestinian incompetence and Israeli military prowess, but does not, according to Israel's narrative, lessen Palestinian culpability because they are targeting civilians.
This ignores the fact that most Israelis killed outside the Gaza Strip by rockets and mortars fired from inside the territory have been soldiers, not civilians.
Absurd logic
Israel's illogical narrative claims that despite killing mostly civilians, Israel's use of high-tech "precision" weapons means that they are not targeting civilians.
Yet it says Palestinian resistance fighters, who use imprecise low-tech weapons (the only weapons available to them), are guilty of targeting civilians — regardless of the fact that they mostly kill soldiers.
The absurdity of this Orwell-meets-Monty-Python logic is obscured by its endless repetition. The powerful Western imperialist countries, the international groups they control and their corporate media remain unanimous in their support for Israeli violence.
This includes the United Nations. However, the scale of the killing and destruction in Gaza, Israel's targeting of UN sites and increasing global public awareness created by the rise of international movements in solidarity with Palestine and social media has forced the UN to make some pretence at neutrality.
On July 30, after the sixth attack on a UN school where civilians were sheltering, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said: "This morning, a UN school sheltering thousands of Palestinian families suffered a reprehensible attack. It is unjustifiable, and demands accountability and justice.
"I want to make it clear that the exact location of this elementary school has been communicated to the Israeli military authorities 17 times, as recently as last night, just a few hours before this attack.
"They are aware of the coordinates and exact location of where these people are."
However, on August 1, when a UN-brokered 72-hour ceasefire broke down after only 90 minutes, Ban joined US President Barack Obama in blaming Palestinian resistance group Hamas.
The ceasefire ended when Israeli soldiers attacking a tunnel inside Gaza clashed with Palestinian resistance fighters. Two Israeli soldiers were killed and one was reported captured.
This was immediately followed by a resumption of Israeli bombing and shelling that killed more than 100 Palestinian civilians in the next 12 hours, as well as a resumption in Palestinian rocket and mortar fire.
Obama's response was: "Israel has the right to defend itself."
Ban and Obama unquestionably accepted the Israeli interpretation of the ceasefire as meaning Israeli soldiers were allowed to continue destroying defensive military infrastructure inside Gaza, but that Palestinian combatants were not allowed to resist.
They also followed Israel in describing the capture of an Israeli soldier in combat as "kidnapping" and demanded the unconditional release of the soldier.
Neither the UN nor the US has ever pressured Israel to release the hundreds of Palestinians, including minors, held without charge in Israeli "administrative detention".
The West's pro-Israel narrative does not just provide the framework for corporate media reporting of the violence, it provides the framework for all international attempts at negotiation.
This narrative exists to obscure the fact that Israel is a militarised, ethnically exclusive state while the Palestinians are a colonised people.
The conflict is often portrayed as war between Israel and Hamas. However, Hamas is not a state, it is a political movement with an armed wing.
In 2006, when Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories in the West Bank and Gaza held elections for the Palestinian Authority, a Hamas-led coalition won.
The US and Israel tried to reverse this through coup d'etat, although Hamas retained control on the ground in Gaza. Israel's siege on Gaza was imposed in response.
Hamas' offer rejected
The right of people living under military occupation to resist is recognised by international law. Hamas has also agreed to abandon armed struggle if Israel allows an independent Palestinian state to be formed in the territories it has occupied since 1967 — the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
The media has reported Hamas rejecting ceasefire proposals. This is because none involve the key demand to lift the siege on Gaza, which is itself a form of violence.
The proposals have been for Palestinian groups to disarm in return for Israel halting its current onslaught, but keeping the siege and its ability to resume the onslaught whenever it chooses.
Despite the corporate media's best efforts, global public sympathy for Palestinians has risen dramatically with the rising body count.
On July 30, 60 Australian parliamentarians signed a statement condemning Israeli violence, which noted: "In the last two days, Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of one per hour."
However, the statement also said: "The rockets fired from Gaza are not in any way justified and insofar as they threaten and harm civilians are illegal under international law.
"However, these imprecise rockets cannot be compared with the broad-scale bombing of Gaza by Israel which has one of the world's largest military forces."
It is false to say that they are breaching international law or targeting civilians. Also, in a conflict between an apartheid state (in which only one ethnic group enjoys full rights) and a subject population whose ethnicity excludes them from full rights, calling on both sides to lay down their arms is a mistaken approach.
A July 21 resolution by the Australian Greens, while generally supportive of Palestinians and opposing Israeli violence, supported "Amnesty International's calls for the UN to impose a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, Hamas, and Palestinian armed groups".
Israel has one of the biggest and most technologically sophisticated arms industries in the world. Not only does it export weapons worldwide but major powers such as the US buy some of their most advanced weapons from Israel.
An embargo would not diminish Israel's capacity to massacre civilians.
On the other hand, an embargo on Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups would inevitably mean tightening the siege on Gaza.

LEOFF I Coalition Newsletter: 4/22/03
By Mark Curtis
It is now time to confirm that we believe that the current LEOFF 1 funding will be insufficient to enable every retiree/survivor to have the benefits due them up to or past 2039. We expect about 2000 people will still be alive then.
See the "findings," dated 1/17/03 on our website for a very good explanation.Bill Kantor patiently dug up detail and numbers that were difficult to nail down. We gave him some previous research, and he ran with the wind to expand his knowledge. Bill demonstrates how our pension fund is "transferred between systems," and "deductions" for administrative expenses, and "redefining" occur. The smoke and mirrors exposed the system that seeks to stake a claim on our "surplus" that we no longer have. We cannot accurately predict when the fund will recover. "Smoothing" (spreading out) of pension funds over years of need is now a management style to avoid more contributions and move the actuarial benchmark yet again.
We also can say that the LEOFF 1 pension system ceased to be fully funded in September 2002, noted by the Actuary. And, an Investment Board spokesman told the Pension Funding Council in November 2002, that we were barely fully funded. That council meets only every two years, and cannot fix the funding until then, if so inclined. The fund continues to erode faster that it can stabilize with no sufficient interests or new funding will ever occur.
The Governor had announced in his state-of-the-state message that his party had a mission to allow state pension funds to be invested in state area start-up companies to stimulate the economy. And since then, the DRS Outlook February 2003 publication devoted several pages to show off the State Investment Board work of prior investments in state companies. Our state government excels at control over pension funds and believes it owns these funds. Pensioners disagree.
But, our own State Supreme Court disagrees with us. The appeal by the Retired Public Employees Council of Washington was lost. The court said that the PERS pension fund was not a trust, and all PERS pension funds are state money. Further, it said that the director of the DRS is not a fiduciary. The IRS may one day have some concern if pension funds are transferred into the state general funds, contrary to the state exemption status now in effect.
A New York case showed what could happen to adversely affect our disabled retired. Employees in New York approved pension funds used for non-pension fund uses. The IRS took the state to task because those monies went into their state general fund, in conflict with disability exempt status. We need to watch dog our own state and encourage IRS compliance with regulations so we do not lose that benefit.
A recent complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive Relief was filed in Skagit County regarding a Snohomish County concern. The issue is expected to determine whether or not the Snohomish County Disability Board may set particular policy. The Coalition supports the defense efforts of that Disability Board, and the request for support explained by Ken Crowder.
We all need to resist any degradation of our pension system or any others as well. Failure to stand up for other pension systems or ourselves could cause us to fall victim to the results identical to the State of Oregon. We had reported the Oregon suit by employee groups during the early formation of the Coalition. Employees won, but the Oregon Legislature failed to re-fund the pension deficits. That state is now said to be $10 billion in the hole on the matter. Their whole state budget isn't that much. The ways to fix that problem would be to either, "raise taxes or lower benefits, or a combination of both," said our State Actuary in response to a question. We have trouble with our own state legislators causing our funds to be transferred around. But, our government has not buried us as deeply as Oregon as yet. Oregon government has failed at fiduciary responsibility. We certainly cannot turn our backs. Note: in the recent DRS Summary Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for 2002, on page 4, we see, "on a daily basis, the Investment Board reviews…… and shifts assets whenever the allocation range for an asset exceeds the approved range or when cash is needed elsewhere". This is another way to say they shift our surplus, a further confirmation of the findings of Kantor's work.
Page 5 of that report indicates that what was known as the "Pension Trust Fund Expenses" have been renamed "Deductions to Pension Plan Net Assets." Deductions include the cost of administering the retirement systems. The Investment Board expenses are funded by the earnings on investments, and maybe also the Investment Council.
Three points could be made here:
- We paid for the services of pension fund administration.
- The State DRS wasted no time in restating a distancing of the word "trust" to shift deductions to net assets.
- "Restatement" is a tactic to be reckoned with, as a method of using our funds contrary to what is needed for long-range pension health.
We had reported that the Association of Washington Cities and Towns had announced prior to session that they planned to introduce a bill to control our surplus. That did not happen in this term. They did want SHB 5664, which made changes to the criteria arbitrators must use in police and fire interest arbitration. They wish to use the implicit price deflator of cost of living adjustments and amend the binding interest arbitration statutes. This would require consideration of a jurisdiction's ability to pay and eliminate comparables outside the state for all interest arbitration. The Bill did not pass out of the house of origin this session.
We should not assume any end to a threat. The cities did some groundwork on this, and may well be a major concern next year.
We opposed HB1204, but find ourselves governed by a renamed "Select" Joint Committee on Pension Policy." We supported the LEOFF 2 bills to help their initiative 790 work, and they appear to have won that enabling effort. HB1198 would permit a non-Plan 1 Disability Board to vote. The Board already saw an earlier legislative act to let Plan 1 on the Board. We had a lot of trouble with the current Bill, but saw the approval of a vote was better than letting the employer have the upper hand in votes. While many of us would far prefer that only a plan one person serve, some places have no plan 1 candidates available or willing to serve. That will emerge as a real problem sooner than later. The legislative session is still grinding on. When over, we hope to participate in a meeting in or near Walla Walla and possibly the Yakima region.
We ask that the reader share this information with LEOFF 1 people who may not be keeping up on what our system still faces in the future.
We continue to lose some people to inaccurate email, moving, or passing on. One of our number was activated for military duty a second time as a LEOFF 1 police chief, i.e., Ricky Thomas of Hoquiam PD to the Coast Guard. Wish him well and safe return soon.

The NHS in Bedfordshire and Public Health England (PHE) are extremely well prepared for outbreaks of new infectious diseases. The NHS has put in place measures to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.
The risk to the general public is moderate. If you have arrived back to the UK from mainland China, Thailand, Japan, Republic of Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia or Macau within 14 days, follow the specific advice for returning travellers.
Anyone who has travelled to China or places listed above in the last 14 days and develops symptoms of cough or fever or shortness of breath, should immediately:
Stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with the flu
Call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the country
Information for the public is available at gov.uk/coronavirus.
Like the common cold, coronavirus infection usually occurs through close contact with a person with novel coronavirus via cough and sneezes or hand contact. A person can also be infected by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their hands.
The risk of being in close contact with a person with coronavirus or contaminated surfaces is very low at the current time, as members of the public who have visited Wuhan, Hubei province, China are currently in isolation.
Testing of suspected coronavirus cases is carried out in line with strict regulations. This means that suspected cases are kept in isolation, away from public areas of the GP practice and returned home also in isolation. Any equipment that come into contact with suspected cases are thoroughly cleaned as appropriate. Specific guidance has also been shared with NHS staff to help safeguard them and others. Patients can be reassured that their safety is a top priority, and are encouraged to attend all appointments as usual.
Everyone is being reminded to follow Public Health England advice to:
Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.

Making better use of your money in the NHS
We are supporting an initiative by Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group to get better value for money on prescription medicines. Every year in Bedfordshire alone over half a million pounds is spent on some prescription medicines that are 'poor' value for money, which is money that we are not able to spend in other areas of healthcare. As a practice we will no longer be prescribing certain medicines.
It is recommended that adults aim to be active on a daily basis. Over a week activity should total at least 150 minutes (2½ hours) of moderate intensity activity. This booklet is filled with ideas and information of activities aimed at over 50 year olds. Click the image to view.

Q: Create a file from user input Node.js So I'm making a discord bot, and I want to have a file called createcommand.js, so when you run it with node createcommand.js is starts asking for user input. So it ask "what should the name be" and then it creates a file from the input with the name, the it will ask "what should it send" and then  it will add the command in the file. I've tried with https://pastebin.com/UARJcExh

#!/usr/bin/env node
const fs = require('file-system');
const ncp = require('ncp');
const init = async function () {
const modulee = require('../index.js')
const readline = require('readline').createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout
  })
const name =

readline.question(`Welcome, what should the name of the command be?`, (input) =>{
  js.name = input

let config = {}

  readline.question(`What should it output`, (input) => {
    js.output = input;

    readline.close();

  })
})
}
var js = `
        exports.run = async (client, message, args, level) => {
 message.channel.send(output)
};

exports.conf = {
  enabled: true,
  guildOnly: false,
  aliases: [],
  permLevel: "User"
};

exports.help = {
  name: "support",
  category: "Miscelaneous",
  description: "",
  usage: name
};

module.exports = config;`;
 fs.appendFile(`${js.name}`, js ,function (err) {
    if (err) {
      throw new Error(err);
    }})

init();

. But it doesn't work.

Q: Exclamation with "What or How" How does it say correctly with exclamation?

How she looks!
  or
  What she looks!

A: Every sentence needs a verb.
Neither of those have one, so they are both not really normal grammatical sentences.
But we say them anyhow!   Speakers of English might say "How great she looks!" in conversation, but this is really more like a shortened form of the question "How great does she look?", except it does not expect an answer.
You really need an adjective between "how" and the subject to use that form:  "How great she looks!"  "How pretty she looks!"  "How awful she looks!", and so on.

How she looks!

is also correct, but less common and a little stilted or awkward.

What she looks

is never correct, in any way, and no one will understand what you mean.  Don't say this.
We would not use these exclamations in formal writing, only conversation or conversational writing.

A: Neither can be correct as an exclamation.
There are some idiomatic exclamations which seem similar:

What a goal!

This has the form "What a (noun)". But your attempt isn't in this form.

How about that!

Your examples:

How she looks.

This isn't an exclamation. It is a little noun phrase meaning "The way that she appears". But it doesn't tell you anything about her appearance.

What she looks

Is not correct. You could say "What she eats" (a noun phrase meaning "the thing that she eats") because the verb "eat" has an object.  But the verb "look" is intransitive, it has no object. "What she looks" is incorrect grammar.
Now, for your situation. Firstly its rude to comment about people. So often the "correct" thing to do is to keep your mouth shut. In the sort of casual situation you might comment on a girl looking good, there would be lots of unspoken communication. The exclamation "wow", in context, could mean "she's beautiful" or "she's weird" or even "she's ugly"

See that girl by the bar? Wow!

Now suppose you just want to tell someone that a girl looks great.  There is no need for some clever idiom.

She looks great!

(But remember, commenting about people is often rude)

Sherburne County Board remembers Ewald Petersen
Joni Astrup
Ewald Petersen, a former Sherburne County commissioner who died Dec. 6 at age 82, has been remembered by the county he served.
A proclamation honoring Petersen's life and legacy was passed by county commissioners on Tuesday, Dec. 21, and that day was proclaimed a day of remembrance for him. His wife and other family members were in the audience to receive the proclamation.
Petersen, of Big Lake, served as a Sherburne County commissioner for 12 years, from 2007 to 2019.
Commissioner Felix Schmiesing served with Petersen for many years and said he misses him.
"He was a valuable ally to me over his years on the board, and we had a lot of fun together," Schmiesing said.
Other county commissioners also remembered Petersen.
Commissioner Lisa Fobbe served with Petersen for two years, and said she is grateful for him and the legacy he has left.
When Commissioner Barb Burandt was first elected to the County Board in 2016, she was one of three new members. Petersen brought a historical perspective to the board, she said, adding, "I really appreciated his insight."
Commissioner Tim Dolan said the amount of time Petersen dedicated to public service is "incredibly impressive."
"We know the sacrifice that takes from a family, in letting him give all that time back to the community," Dolan told Petersen's family. "I just want you to know that while we appreciate him and his service, we appreciate all the hours that you gave up with him in order to let him serve his community."
Former Big Lake Mayor Raeanne Danielowski was elected to fill Petersen's seat on the County Board after he retired. She said he was a very dedicated public servant who put in a lot of hours.
Danielowski presented the proclamation to Petersen's wife, Rita.
Rita thanked county officials and said her husband enjoyed what he did.
"He did spend a lot of time, but that was what he wanted to be doing," she said.
A Minnesota native, Ewald was born in Champlin and graduated from Anoka High School and the University of Minnesota.
According to his obituary, he and Rita were married in 1964 and together they farmed in Champlin, raising gladiolus for cut flowers, as well as a variety of vegetable "truck farm" crops. Ewald was active in Champlin politics, serving on the Champlin City Council and Planning Commission.
In 1978, he moved his family and farming operation to Big Lake, where he continued to grow his business. He continued his affinity for local politics, serving for many years as the chairman of the Big Lake Township Board, and later 12 years as a Sherburne County commissioner, according to his obituary.
"In his 82 years, Ewald was most thankful and proud of his family," his obituary stated.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by six children, seven grandchildren, one great-grandson and a sister.
According to the proclamation passed by the County Board, Petersen "represented his District admirably and worked constantly for his constituents, much to the betterment of both the Big Lake area and the larger Sherburne County community."
The proclamation went on to say that the County Board expressed its sincere thanks and appreciation for Petersen's dedication and outstanding performance of his duties while commissioner, adding, "Ewald will always be remembered as a dedicated public servant to our community and a valued citizen of Sherburne County."

Your first glimpse of Jackson House will be of a graceful white frame house with green shutters glimmering through the trees above a wooded slope. A wraparound front porch invites you to lounge on the swing, sip a cold drink, and gaze through the oaks and maples to the meandering creek below.
Inside Jackson House you'll be surrounded by treasured furnishings accumulated by the three generations of women who have owned and loved this house. Fresh flowers will greet you in your room. You can snuggle under a quilt and fall asleep in the restful quiet created by the house's spacious curving hallway.
You might choose the tranquil Master Bedroom where you'll be soothed by rich colors, the comfort of a king-sized bed and private bath with whirlpool tub.
Or try the atmospheric first-floor Fireplace Room with a queen-sized bed opposite the hearth. Enjoy the private bath with whirlpool for two.
One of our founders, Eunice Perry, liked to end every Jackson House breakfast with a piece of pie. Yes, pie for breakfast! We like to continue that tradition by serving a piece of fresh fruit pie or sweet potato pie as the finishing touch to your meal.
