DUBAI: With over one million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) currently based in the UAE region, it is no surprise that a high percentage of OFW homebuyers comes from Dubai. Driven by their desire to settle back with their family after years of sacrifice and hard work, more and more Dubai-based OFWs are acquiring house and lot properties in the Philippines.
At the center of the homebuying is the township project of Lancaster New City in Imus, Cavite that is only 30 minutes away from NAIA and Metro Manila, thanks to its access to major roads like the CAVITEX.
Now home to over 50,000 residents, Lancaster New City continues to cater to thousands of families looking for affordable, quality homes with the help of its most trusted and #1 sales network, Green Circle Realty.
A premier realty company in the Philippines, Green Circle Realty has been in the industry for thirteen years, extending its services especially to the OFW homebuyers who want to better secure their family's future and fulfill their dream of finally having a home of their own. Over the years, Green Circle Realty has been reaching out to Filipino communities abroad, particularly in the UAE area because of the increasing demand for affordable homeownership among OFWs.
This April 2019, Green Circle Realty is once again joining the Philippine Property and Investment Exhibition in Dubai, after its successful participation last year. As a top exhibitor alongside some of the biggest names in the real estate industry, Green Circle Realty looks forward to personally meeting hundreds of OFWs and Pinoy guests all looking for the perfect home investment opportunity.
Green Circle Realty President and Master Salespreneur Gabriel "Billy" Dominguez also shared what his company has to offer to the PPIE 2019 which will be held on April 26- 27, 2019 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Deira, Dubai.
"We are participating again in PPIE 2019 to continue with our objective of reaching out to our Pinoy OFWs in UAE. We in Green Circle Realty will always be happy to help our OFWs in realizing their dream homes for their families. We're looking forward to seeing more of the PPIE visitors owning their homes just like what happened with some of those we met in the same event last year," Dominguez said.
With Green Circle Realty's initial participation last year, it was able to prove that more OFWs are always on the lookout for affordable housing with the help of a real estate company they can trust. Last year's inspiring homeownership success stories of Dubai-based OFWs would attest to Green Circle Realty's distinct brand, especially as the top sales network for a project that offers value for money.
One of Green Circle Realty's happy homebuyers from the PPIE 2018 event was James Catamora who works as a surveyor for a construction company in Dubai for over four years. Like the many hard-working OFWs all over the world, Catamora wants to provide a better life for his wife and daughter by ensuring that they will soon have a home of their own.
"Ang house and lot investment ay isa rin sa mga pinakamagandang investments para sa aming pamilya dahil hindi bumababa ang value nito. This is why I decided to buy a townhouse in Lancaster New City. Aside from its amenities, very ideal ang location dahil malapit sa NAIA, sa hospital at commercial areas," said Catamora.
"Lancaster New City was really our first choice at sobrang excited na kami to have our own home. We also made the right choice to trust Green Circle Realty dahil alam namin na matatag na real estate company na ito at talagang tinutulungan nila kami hanggang ngayon habang hinihintay naming maka-move in na kami sa unit namin," Aganan shared.
Green Circle Realty is the leading real estate sales network of Lancaster New City (Cavite), the flagship housing project of ProFriends which is now 51% owned by GT Capital who also owns Metrobank, Toyota, Axa Insurance & Federal Land.

Court Speaks Loudly and Clearly Regarding Claimed Trade Dress No Trade Dress Protection for Water Squirting Toy (Yet)
Identify Your Trade Secrets or Risk Dismissal of Misappropriation Claim
On May 7, 2014, in Trade Secrets, by Brian A. Hall
UnIntellectual Property (UnIP): Trade Secret for Software
The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has once again taught trade secret plaintiffs a hard lesson. The Court granted Defendant's motion to strike Plaintiff's trade secret misappropriation cause of action for failure to identify the trade secret, which was alleged to be recruiting software, with reasonable particularity.
In doing so, the Court analyzed the California Civil Code, namely Section 2019.210:
For each trade secret, plaintiff must file, and serve on counsel, a statement, under seal, that should include:
(1) a summary of the specific trade secret;
(2) the background of the trade secret and a description of how each secret has derived independent, actual or potential economic value by virtue of not being generally known to the public:
(3) a description of how each secret has been the subject of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy; and finally
(4) each of the precise claimed trade secrets, numbered, with a list of the specific elements for each, as claims would appear at the end of a patent.
Defendant provided a three-page narrative and three barely-legible schematics. No explanation was provided for the schematics other than to say a "representation of Jobscience's proprietary process and efficient solution is reflected in the following schematic diagram and screen shot examples." Having previously been warned, twice, by the Court that failure to provide additional identification or face dismissal, the Court finally dismissed the claim, without leave to amend.
This may sound harsh, but given the factual nature of trade secret misappropriation claims, especially when it comes to software, it aids in more efficient litigation. Interestingly here, Plaintiff still may be able to satisfy its copyright infringement claim, but we shall see given that the remainder of this Opinion discusses issues concerning expert analysis.
Jobscience, Inc. v. CVPartners, Inc., C 13-04519 WHA, 2014 WL 1724763 (N.D. Cal. May 1, 2014).


First off today am going to ask you a question: Where have all the monkeys gone? I can imagine Marlene Dietrich singing it – "Verr hef all the maunkeys gone? Lonk time pessink." [Nurse, I think it's time to up his medication again! – Ed.] No, no, no. You don't understand. I am referring to a strange phenomenon of several months ago. Monkey hanging. Sorry, pardon, excuse me? Yes, monkey hanging. Not real monkeys, you understand. This isn't Hartlepool you know. Do you know that story? I'll tell you it anyway.
Legend has it that during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th century a French ship was spotted foundering and sinking off the Hartlepool coast. Suspicious of enemy ships and nervous of possible invasion, the good folk of Hartlepool rushed down to the beach, where amongst the wreckage of the ship they found the only survivor, the ship's monkey which was apparently dressed in a miniature military-style uniform.
Hartlepool is a long way from France and most of the populous had never met, or even seen, a Frenchman. Some satirical cartoons of the time pictured the French as monkey-like creatures with tails and claws, so perhaps the locals could be forgiven for deciding that the monkey, in its uniform, must be a Frenchman, and a French spy at that. There was a trial to ascertain whether the monkey was guilty of spying or not; however, not unsurprisingly, the monkey was unable to answer any of the court's questions but was found guilty anyway. It was then dragged into the town square and hanged.
There is another, even crueller, version of the story. Maybe they didn't actually hang a 'monkey' but a small boy or 'powder-monkey'. Small boys were employed on warships of this time to prime the cannons with gunpowder and were known as 'powder-monkeys'.
Over the centuries the legend has been used to taunt the residents of Hartlepool. At football matches between local rivals Darlington and Hartlepool United the chant, "Who hung the monkey" can often be heard. Most Hartlepudlians however love this story. Hartlepool United's mascot is a monkey called H'Angus the Monkey (How sick is that?), and the local Rugby Union team Hartlepool Rovers are known as the Monkeyhangers. Do you know what? Hartlepudlians sound a bit odd.
The successful mayoral candidate in the 2002 local elections, Stuart Drummond, campaigned dressed in the costume of H'Angus the Monkey, using the election slogan "free bananas for schoolchildren", a promise he did not keep, incidentally. However this appears not to have dented his popularity, as he went on to be re-elected two more times with or without bananas.
However, that is nothing to do with the monkeys of which I speak. The ones I am talking about are monkeys of the knitted variety. Perhaps like the one that Johnny Vegas works with when advertising satellite tea or whatever it is he is trying to sell.
To explain, I have seen, hanging beneath railway bridges, pedestrian bridges and the like, knitted monkeys; just dull, brown, knitted monkeys. But now they have gone. It was a phenomenon or craze that brought a smile to my face whenever I saw a knitted monkey hanging on a rope under a bridge. As well as wondering why they have disappeared as suddenly as they appeared I must ask a question. It is not why someone would want to suspend a knitted monkey from a bridge; it may well be some mystical, secret-society ritual; I don't know. My question is - how? How did somebody manage to get up there to hang a monkey? The thing is, it is never suspended from the side of the bridge which is reasonably accessible. Instead, it is located right in a central position underneath. They were always over busy roads. Did someone come along with a cherry-picker type vehicle and tie it in place? Or do they smother one end of the rope in glue and fire it from a crossbow? I honestly cannot fathom how they did it.
Can you? Answers on a postcard please.
Right. Birthdays of note, anyone? Mungo Park 1771, George Robey 1869, Stevie Smith 1902, Kenneth More 1914, Rachel Roberts 1927, Johnnie Dankworth 1927, Sophia Loren 1934 were all born on the 20th of September (and Mrs Grambler too, incidentally, but I won't say which year). Sadly, nobody in there had any hits worth gramblerising. Although Sophia Loren did have a couple of novelty songs in the charts way, way, way back. Both were performed with Peter Sellers. One was called Bangers and Mash, the other, perhaps more famous, one was called Goodness Gracious Me. It was the song that gave the title to Britain's first Asian comedy series (That looks weird when it's written down – it suggests a programme in some eastern language). Another fact about the song surprised me. The writer. It was penned by none other than George Martin. Yes, that George Martin; the one that produced all the great Beatles records. I suppose everyone has to start somewhere. But, Goodness Gracious Me? Goodness gracious me!
Striker Graziano (you're welcome) Pelle scored twice as Southampton overwhelmed a poor Newcastle side at St Mary's Stadium.
The Italian grabbed his first in the sixth minute when he headed in Ryan Bertrand's cross from the left.
And he slotted home his fourth of the season after a terrible misjudgement by Mike Williamson in the Newcastle defence.
Jack Cork then took advantage of another lapse in concentration by Williamson before Morgan Schneiderlin curled in a superb late fourth.
Great start there for The Grambler.
Dang it! Hit the bar!
In fact, both sides hit the bar as Blackpool earned their first point of the season and climbed off the bottom of the Championship after an entertaining goalless draw with Wolves.
But Kenny Jackett's Wolves stay third, despite drawing a blank against under-pressure Jose Riga's Tangerines.
Wolves, who could have gone top with a victory, hit the woodwork through Rajiv van La Parra before the interval.
But Blackpool also found the woodwork, striker Nile Ranger (Sounds like an Egypt-based version of Tonto's mate) dinking an effort off the crossbar after the break.
Oh well, one out of two for The Grambler.
Stone me! Hit the bar again!
Jordan Bowery! Do you see what you did? Only stopped The Grambler getting two out of three; instead it's one out of three. Injury time equaliser indeed!
Eoin Doyle missed a penalty but still scored a second-half hat-trick as Chesterfield thumped Scunthorpe.
Doyle completed his treble from 12 yards after Niall Canavan had tripped him before Sam Morsy sealed the win.
Chesterfield move up to fourth in the League One (three!) table, while Scunthorpe remain in the bottom four.
Two out of four; The Grambler back on track.
What the…! Hit the bar yet again!
Hearts returned to the top of the Scottish Championship despite dropping their first points of the season at the home of Dumbarton.
Goalkeeper Danny Rodgers made some fine saves to keep Hearts at bay, denying Jason Holt and Osman Sow (He had a pig of a game. Hur Hur. No. You're right. It's not that funny.) in the first half and Sam Nicholson in the second.
Chris Kane's header was the closest the Sons came, his header saved by Neil Alexander.
And, late in the game, Nicholson's header came back off the crossbar.
Robbie Neilson's side, who remain unbeaten but lose their 100% record, move a point clear of Rangers.
So two out of five for The Grambler. Not good enough. Must try harder.
For our first game we go to Carrow Road where the Canaries play host to the Blues (Hmm, wonder what colour these teams play in.). The Grambler has predicted that Norwich will take all the points on this one. Given that they have won five out of seven so far this season and Birmingham have won only one, it would seem to be a good call.
Game two takes us to Molineux where Wolves play host to the Trotters. Once again The Grambler has predicted a home win. League positions would suggest that The Grambler has got this one right. However, recent past encounters between the clubs would suggest otherwise. It is eight games, and almost five years, since Wolves beat Bolton who have won five of the last seven meetings. Such a record does not bode well for The Grambler's prediction. I reckon this is more likely to end as a draw.
For our third game we head to the Colchester Community Stadium where the Us play host to the Bantams. This time The Grambler has predicted that the away team will win. Current league positions would again suggest a good call. The two teams haven't met played each other very often – twice last season with Bradford taking four of the available six points and once in 2010 when Colchester won 4-3 to progress in the F.A. Cup – so previous results can't be used to show us a 'pattern'. A better gauge would be to look at this season's games; both teams are performing poorly at home – they have each lost three. However, Bradford have won three on the road, which is enough to make me think The Grambler has called this one right.
Game number four sees us head to Huish Park where the Glovers play host to the Posh. Again The Grambler has gone for an away win. Again, league positions would suggest a good call. But hold on there little breeches, Yeovil may have had a poor start to the season by losing their first two games, but in the six games since have only lost once. Peterborough may have had the better start, but in their corresponding last six games they have lost twice. I am thinking that Yeovil, newly relegated from the Championship, may have now sorted out whatever problems caused that poor start and might now prove difficult to beat. Think you have this one wrong Grambler.
And finally, Cyril? And finally Esther we head to Keepmoat Stadium where the Rovers, or Donny if you prefer, play host to the Spireites. Oh oh, The Grambler has gone for another away win. Yes, Grambler, table positions would suggest your prediction might be correct, but have you forgotten that, like Yeovil, Doncaster are a side relegated from the Championship and as such should be perfectly capable of dealing with any side in the First (third!!!) division. Table positions count for nothing at this stage in the season, anyway. Fifteen places currently separate the sides, but there is a difference of only six points. If Doncaster were to win this, they could potentially finish the weekend just six places below Chesterfield. Once again, I reckon you have got this one wrong, Grambler.
Well, there you have it my little gramblerinis, five predictions made, eleven bets placed – 10 x 20 pee doubles and 1 x 20 pee accumulator. Will it win? For the reasons I gave in the text, I think not. However, I would love to be proven wrong by The Grambler because this week there is a magnificent….
…. heading for the Bobby Moore Fund via The Grambler's Kick Cancer's Backside Fund. I wouldn't hold your breath, though.
Now it's time for the answer to last week's teaser when I asked you who were the three top scorers for England. The answer, in redro esrever, is – Orl right pop pickers - Third on 44 is Jimmy Greaves – Not arf – Second on 48 is Gary Lineker – and there's no change at the top, that's right – First is Bobby Charlton with 49. Bobby Charlton took 106 games to amass that total, Lineker took 80, but Jimmy Greaves was a much more prolific scorer with his goals coming in just 57 games. Wean Rooney has taken 97 games to reach his current total of 41.
If you were to list all Premiership (since its inception) goalscorers alphabetically, who would be first? And I may as well ask it – who would be last?
Well, I've managed to avoid referring to it until now, but I can't finish without a mention of the referendum to decide whether Scotland should become independent from the rest of the UK. It was on the news all over the world, so you will no doubt already know that 55% of the Scottish electorate voted to change nothing. So, after months of debating, not just between politicians but between men and women in the street – it has certainly been the most talked about election I have ever known – what will happen? Precisely fu… nothing. Well, Alex Salmond has handed in his resignation. I don't suppose he had much option; his whole career has been about gaining independence for Scotland and the Scottish people have told him what he can do with it.
There may be other changes of course. Surely, nobody would dare to sing Flower of Scotland again. Surely. They wouldn't dare. Would they?

Bummer: Antifa Member Grounded For 2 Weeks After Staying Out Too Late At Rally
65k Share
Not good! This proud member of Antifa was grounded for a full two weeks after he stayed out too late at a rally this weekend.
Aw, man! Totally not fair, dude!
The 22-year-old Antifa activist had carefully stuffed his bed to make it appear that he was sleeping, and even played an audio file of a person snoring in hopes that his parents would assume he was home. But his plan was foiled when he stayed out past midnight and his snoring playlist ran out, causing his MacBook Pro to begin blaring out Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." His mom and dad came in to check on him and noticed he was gone, with a rope made out of sheets hanging out the window.
When he climbed into his room and took off his ski mask, his parents were standing there waiting for him. They took away computer and phone privileges for two weeks and also confiscated his Nintendo Switch.
"They were totally lame about it," he told the Huffington Post. "All my friends are allowed to stay up way past midnight. It's soooo not fair. Ugh."
He's not gonna take it lying down though: the brave Antifa warrior states that if this keeps up, he'll consider moving out of his parents' house in the surburbs, sometime in the next 5-10 years.
"I'm not bluffing this time," he said.

Has anyone done something like this? We are using Divi Builder but that is a bit complicated for average users and we are not in arush to create a whole new theme for our 30+ websites.
Or would I need to create a custom plugin for that? I'd rather not use a third party plugin for security reasons

A: So are you wanting output bootstrap markup in your default wordpress editor to make rows and columns etc?
Short answer is no, the wysiwyg editor is only really built for paragraphs, headings, quotes, horizontal rules, lists, images, inline formatting etc...
In order integrate bootstraps block layout markup would require some extra level of builder addon. Elementor definitely could do the job with some super customisation, even ACF flexible content would do it, and i think even WP Gutenberg can do this natively... but would require customisation to use bootstrap markup.
But if you wanted to attempt and utilise the standard wordpress editor (not Gutenberg editor) using the element dropdown (paragraph, headings etc by default).
You could try this, however I recommend loading the same front end bootstrap css into the wysiwyg editor so you can instantly see changes.

Please note this method below is risky as the user would need to understand how bootstraps row/column structure should be formatted. The probability of html markup going wrong is highly likely. Hence using an actual block element builder (like Elementor or ACF) would be a safer choice.

Anyway, see below example of how to customise standard wordpress wysiwyg editor dropdown for wrapping html tags around content.
First load the same front end bootstrap css into the wysiwyg editor...
// editor stylesheet (containing the front end css for the post content)
add_editor_style('dist/css/editor.css');

Now lets add the styleselect dropdown to our wysiwyg editor...
// add the style select dropdown to our wysiwyg editor
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'formatting_dropdown');

/**
 * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/mce_buttons_2
 * @param $buttons
 * @return mixed
 */
function formatting_dropdown($buttons) {

    // global post object
    global $post;

    // if no post return param
    if(!$post) return $buttons;

    // switch case for post types or type to run this on (page/post)
    switch ($post->post_type) {
        case 'page':
        case 'post';
            // reveal the hidden "Styles" dropdown in the advanced toolbar
            array_unshift($buttons,'styleselect');
            return $buttons;
        default;
            return $buttons;
    }

}

And then add your bootstrap formatting settings using this filter below...
// init filter for handling the style select options
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'formatting_dropdown_options');

/**
 * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/tiny_mce_before_init/
 * @param $mceInit
 * @return mixed
 */
function formatting_dropdown_options($mceInit) {

    // global post
    global $post;

    // if no post return param
    if(!$post) return $mceInit;

    // switch case for post type (page/post)
    switch ($post->post_type) {
        case 'page':
        case 'post';

            // new style array
            $style_formats = [
                [
                    'title' => 'row',
                    'block' => 'div',
                    'classes' => 'row'
                ],
                [
                    'title' => 'col',
                    'block' => 'div',
                    'classes' => 'col'
                ]
            ];

            // bs5 breakpoints
            $breakpoints = ['xs','sm','md','lg','xl','xxl'];

            // bs5 column grid
            $grid = 12;

            // add bs5 column classes to $style_formats array
            foreach ($breakpoints as $breakpoint) {
                foreach (range(1, $grid) as $column) {
                    $style_formats[] = [
                        'title' => $breakpoint === 'xs' ? 'col-' . $column : 'col-' . $breakpoint . '-' . $column,
                        'block' => 'div',
                        'classes' => $breakpoint === 'xs' ? 'col-' . $column : 'col-' . $breakpoint . '-' . $column
                    ]
                }
            }

            // override style format with new style formats
            $mceInit['style_formats'] = json_encode($style_formats);

            // init array
            return $mceInit;
            break;

        default;

            // init array
            return $mceInit;

    }

There's always a flurry of goal posts here in late December and early January: reflecting, planning big, and planning for the month ahead. Big goals for the year are always exciting. Goals for the month are where I put those big dreams into action.
A tangible representation of putting goals into action is my January health challenge of 10 push ups per day which I've done so far. Another good habit I am practicing: scheduling out most hours of my childcare days so that I prioritize creating (writing, podcasting) and keep my expectations realistic.
January through March or April is also the most glorious weather here in the Arizona desert. January and February are perhaps my favorite. We've been enjoying chilly (for us) weather and even some rain – so cozy! I love that the mornings and evenings are still dark but lightening up. I love wearing jeans, a jacket, and a scarf but that we can still go play outside every day. Good things!
+ Celebrated turning 35! I loved my birthday celebrations this year: We had a joint family party to celebrate my birthday and Cedric's birthday; Chris and I had a day-date plus dinner out; and then my actual birthday was filled with my favorite things with plenty of time to relax and read (Orange Theory class - the whole class sang to me!, manicure/pedicure, lots of time to read, homemade pizza and brownies, and watching It's A Wonderful Life with Chris).
+ Enjoyed a relaxing Christmas holiday. We had a really great Christmas holiday this year. It felt like we had so many days together without plans – our favorite. Big factors I'm sure were having more bandwidth compared to last year and the ages of the boys.
+ Celebrated Cedric turning 4! The post-Christmas birthdays are tough, y'all! But Cedric has been perfectly happy with small family celebrations. We had a fun day having pancakes while watching planes, and then went to a bowling/bumper cars/arcade place and had a blast as a family. One of my new favorite family memories is doing bumper cars all together with nonstop laughter.
+ Completed another decluttering/organization minima. We actually received what felt like a reasonable amount of gifts for Christmas – games, toys, books, and things we will really use. Still, nothing spurs my craving for minimizing like an influx of stuff at Christmas. Chris and I both combed through our closets and donated a pile of clothes. I went through the office closet to much satisfaction. Chris did a first-run organization of the garage. Post-Christmas decluttering is one of my favorite traditions.
+ Boys go back to school. Now that I'm a parent I feel like this line in It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas speaks right to me: "And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again!" I honestly don't even think I heard that line when I listened to the song as a kid. Now I just smile every time I hear it, especially if it would come on while the boys were fighting over some new Christmas toy. It has been a wonderful break but I love our normal school week routines too, plus I am eager to return to my own work.
+ Our front yard update should be completed. I am so happy with how things are coming together and if all goes according to plan our front yard should be finished this Saturday or early next week. I am realizing how much I've disliked our front yard and how that detracts from the overall look of our house. I can't wait for our yard to actually enhance our house and to reflect our aesthetic tastes.
+ My mom and sister come for a visit. Yay!
+ Hang up art, calendar, and bulletin boards in my office.
+ Schedule my annual doctor's appointments: A physical including results of standard blood work with my general practitioner and a well-woman exam with the same midwives who saw me during pregnancy.
+ Prioritize writing on my book proposal every week. I schedule these blocks of time in on my Google calendar.
+ Make progress on my first sewing project. I'm working on a tunic and I'd like to have all the cutting finished this month.
+ Research materials needed for my card catalogue entry table project (inspo). This will include actually measuring the card catalogue that I bought, identifying which table legs to buy (hairpin? mid-century modern wood?), and deciding on what kind of top it should have (thinking countertop material that looks like marble or granite; mine was meant to be stacked so the top is open and needs to be covered).
+ Drink water! I am usually pretty great at drinking water but when it's not hot I'm not reaching for my water bottle as much. But it's still so dry here I need the hydration. My plan is to keep my water bottle near me and refill often.
+ Daily healthy challenge. 10 push ups each day!
+ Little to no phone use from 5 p.m. to bedtime and don't go to sleep listening to audiobooks or podcasts. I've been great at this so far starting in late December. I've also been sleeping really well (also have been trying to have lights out by 9:30 p.m.). Sleep is everything.
+ Dates with Chris. We are aiming for four dates each month: two "out" dates and two intentional at-home dates playing games or working on sewing projects together. We are trying to have a day date each month where Chris takes a day off of work and we have a couple potential dates for this month already.
+ Sunday meeting with Chris. When Chris and I sit down, go over our calendars, and check in on household administration before the week starts I feel so much more together. We also want to check in on our budget and spending at these little meetings as a way to stay committed to our savings goals.


Some Linux distributions – specifically Ubuntu, Trustix, and Suse – stand accused of sending potential email spam.
This is because once signed up to their email lists, it is next to impossible for users to unsubscribe.
a) That is plain stupid argument. Almost every list has an option to unsubscribe, at the bottom of email.
I strongly believe Linux users are little or more smart than average PC user. Period.

Created to provide a healthy green space for the nearby residents, many of whom lived in cramped slums in the 1880s
Opened by the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) in 1881
Named after Leicester Abbey, the ruins of which are located inside the park
From soggy marsh to historic park
Today the grounds of Abbey Park consist of green and pleasant spaces but during the 18th century the area was a damp and dingy marshland that was frequently flooded by the nearby River Soar. The introduction of Leicester Navigation Canal in 1791 helped reduce the effects of flooding, however the entire area remained a swamp even after people began to move and settle on the surrounding land.
Conditions for these residents, drawn to the area by work at the canal's wharfs and warehouses, were grim even by 19th century standards. The density of the population settling in Belgrave Gate as well as their lack of access to open spaces and recreation grounds made many people's lives both difficult and dirty. Concerns over public health were raised in the 1870s when it became apparent that the frequent flooding was causing sewage to contaminate the local water supply. The crowded Belgrave Gate desperately needed a healthy green space.

A royal blessing
In 1879 the Leicester Corporation purchased Abbey Meadows from the Earl of Dysart as part of the Leicester Improvement Act and solved the issue of flooding by widening the river and lowering the riverbed. One stipulation for the sale of the Meadows to the corporation was that it should later become 'a public park or recreation ground for the enjoyment of the inhabitants of Leicester'. The Leicester Corporation created a competition to design the layout of the park which was won by the Derby-based firm Barron and Son in 1877.
The project faced much public scepticism, with fears that the site would be so waterlogged that boats would be required to get across it during winter. Despite concerns, the project was completed within schedule and budget with the project culminating in a royal opening. The Prince of Wales and future King, Edward VII, along with his wife the Princess of Wales, were invited to officially open the park on Whit Monday, 1881. The ceremony itself was an event of much pomp and circumstance, with £3000 worth of subscriptions raised to decorate the royal procession route from Leicester Station to Belgrave Gate. Thousands turned up to celebrate the event, lining the route from the Railway Station to Abbey Park

Whit Monday was also Royal Oak Day; a celebration of Charles II's escape from the Roundhead Army by hiding in an oak tree in 1651. The Princess of Wales was therefore invited to plant a young Oak tree in the park and was presented with an elaborate silver and ivory spade by the Ladies of Leicester. Much to the surprise of all present, the Prince of Wales also joined in the ceremony using an ordinary workman's spade. The 'People's Park' of Leicester was now officially open to all.

Something to see all year round
The park itself would have looked somewhat different to its present iteration with original features, such as the American Garden and the Pavilion (lost to fire in 1959), no longer part of the current landscape. Another iconic feature of the 19th century Park was the City of Leicester Show which was designed to celebrate of the park's horticultural splendour and was recognised as one of the best provincial shows in the UK.
In the 1980s the park also hosted the popular Abbey Park Festival which showcased the best local bands and music as well as acts from further afield. The annual Abbey Park Bonfire and Fireworks Display draws crowds of 1000s every year.
Today a visitor to Abbey Park can enjoy a variety of activities such as the boating lake, miniature railway, animal corner, exploring the ruins of Leicester Abbey and various playgrounds for children young or old.

Everything about the Grand Hotel was designed as a statement in luxury and opulence; from its European Renaissance style exterior and "wedding cake" top to public rooms full of marble fireplaces, onyx pillars and elegant chandeliers.
Guild Hall Colton Street
The Guild Hall was opened in 1909 by the Leicester Guild of the Crippled to provide a social centre for people with physical disabilities. As well as being "beautiful and commodious", this Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau style building was very practical, being an early example of a structure that had been purposely designed to be fully accessible.
On Leicester's medieval High Street (now Highcross Street), close to where a Travelodge stands today, there was once an elaborate timber-framed building known as the Blue Boar Inn. Here, by tradition, Richard III spent a final night or two before the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
Since opening, Curve has become a major producing theatre, creating critically acclaimed shows including Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard (2017), Legally Blonde (2016) and Purva Naresh's Pink Sari Revolution (2017).
There is evidence at Western Park of possibly Leicester's earliest occupation. What is believed to be an early Bronze Age henge site and burial mounds have been discovered there along with evidence of Roman occupation as well.
Roman Leicester
(47- 500) A military fort was erected, attracting traders and a growing civilian community to Leicester (known as Ratae Corieltauvorum to the Romans). The town steadily grew throughout the reign of the Romans.
Medieval Leicester
(500 – 1500) The early years of this period was one of unrest with Saxon, Danes and Norman invaders having their influences over the town. Later, of course, came Richard III and the final battle of the Wars of the Roses was fought on Leicester's doorstep.
Tudor & Stuart Leicester
(1500 – 1700) The wool trade flourished in Leicester with one local, a former mayor named William Wigston, making his fortune. During the English Civil War a bloody battle was fought as the forces of King Charles I laid siege to the town.
Georgian Leicester
(1700 – 1837) The knitting industry had really stared to take hold and Leicester was fast becoming the main centre of hosiery manufacture in Britain. This new prosperity was reflected throughout the town with broader, paved streets lined with elegant brick buildings and genteel residences.
(1837 – 1901) The industrial revolution had a huge effect on Leicester resulting in the population growing from 40,000 to 212,000 during this period. Many of Leicester's most iconic buildings were erected during this time as wealthy Victorians made their mark on the town.
Cook's Temperance Hall & Hotel
Corah and Sons - St Margaret's Works
Edwardian Leicester
(1901 – 1910) Electric trams came to the streets of Leicester and increased literacy among the citizens led to many becoming politicised. The famous 1905 'March of the Unemployed to London' left from Leicester market when 30,000 people came to witness the historic event.
Early 20th Century Leicester
(1910 – 1973) The diverse industrial base meant Leicester was able to cope with the economic challenges of the 1920s and 1930s. New light engineering businesses, such as typewriter and scientific instrument making, complemented the more traditional industries of hosiery and footwear manufacturing.
Modern Leicester
(1973 – present day) Industry was still thriving in the city during the 1970s, with the work opportunities attracting many immigrants from all over the world. While industry has declined in recent years, excellent transport links have made Leicester an attractive centre for many businesses. The City now has much to be proud of including its sporting achievements and the richness of its cultural heritage and diversity.

Manchester United are reportedly the new favourites to sign £15m-rated Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin.
The England international has been linked with a move back to the Premier League all summer following relegation to the Championship with the R's, with Newcastle and West Ham among the clubs linked.
However, with Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal keen to bring in some competition for Wayne Rooney before the transfer window closes on Tuesday evening, he could now turn his attentions to the 26-year-old.
Austin scored 18 goals in his debut season in the top flight for Rangers but his strikes were unable to save his side from going down.

Why conservatives should welcome gay marriage
David Cameron just told the Tory conference that he supported gay marriage
"because I am a Conservative". In last week's issue of the Spectator, Douglas Murray said that the best arguments in favour of gay marriage are conservative ones. For the
benefit of CoffeeHousers, here is Douglas's piece.
In America a new generation of Republicans is challenging the traditional consensus of their party on gay marriage. They — as well as some of the GOP old guard like Dick Cheney — are
coming out in favour. In Britain the subject is also back on the agenda with the coalition government, at the insistence of the Prime Minister apparently, planning a 'public
consultation' on the matter.
Though not exactly political leadership, this nevertheless constitutes a change — not least in stealing the mantle of gay equality from the left. For decades it was presumed that
conservatives could only oppose such moves. But as young Republicans like Margaret Hoover (author of American Individualism) are showing, that needn't be the case. Indeed the best arguments
for gay marriage are conservative ones.
But first there are the non-arguments. Among them are those claiming that giving gays the right to marry somehow destabilises heterosexual marriage. But divorce and adultery are the biggest
underminers of marriage. Has any man abandoned his wife because of gay marriage? Then there is the slippery-slope argument. Tory MP Edward Leigh worries that if gays are allowed to marry,
'There is no logical reason why the new alternative institution should be limited to two people. Why not three?' he asks. 'Or 33?' All of which tells us more about his
imagination than his logic.
Few sights in politics are quite as risible as the male politician in full, puffing flight from an issue of basic gay equality. As the campaigning lawyer Elizabeth Birch said when arguing with the
three-times-married conservative representative Bob Barr in 1990, 'Which marriage are you defending? Your first, your second or your third?'
The idea that marriage is solely for the procreation of children is equally dismissable. Plenty of straight couples, particularly older ones, do not marry to have children. They marry to form a
deep, committed and publicly respected bond. In any case, if protecting the special nature of marriage were the true drive of anti-equality activists, then they might focus instead on those
celebrity and 'reality' stars who transparently marry for the publicity. Perhaps campaigners should picket Katie Price's weddings?
But true conservatives should welcome gay marriage. For its increasing acceptance across civilised countries represents not the making gay of marriage but the making conservative of gays. The
desire of an increasing number of gay men and women to have their stable and lifelong relationships recognised equally by family, friends and society as a whole demonstrates the respect of
individuals within, and towards, an important institution.
Those who fear or dislike perceived aspects of gay life should particularly welcome gay acceptance into the marital fold. An aspect of male 'gay life' some heterosexuals claim to have a
problem with is the perceived promiscuity. Whether this is in reality any more distinctive than among straight people, gay marriage offers a remedy, giving gays, like straights, a public and
private path towards commitment. At a time when many heterosexuals are spurning the idea of marriage, here is a section of society positively lobbying for the right to respect and continue the
institution. Perhaps gay marriage will encourage more straight people back on to the marital path?
Of course the argument most commonly made against gay marriage is the worst of all: the religious argument. Ignoring for a moment whether anyone really wishes to reinstate the practice of
consulting 'holy books' for the specifics of law-making, the lack of consistency is extraordinary. A few months back I found myself debating a lady from the General Synod. The presence
of a verse in the book of Leviticus was her justification for arguing against any rights for gays. 'What about the imprecations against all sorts of dietary laws in the same book?' I
asked her. 'What of the warning against the mixing of fabrics? What about that verse in Exodus, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live?"' 'Well, I don't know
anything about that,' she said. Citing scriptural authority raises not only problems of source, but problems with the reading of a verse.
Nonetheless, if gays are allowed to marry there should be give and take. Marriage equality should not be forced on religious institutions. Religious people of all denominations might keep making
the argument within their faiths. But there is no more justification in the religious being forced to accept things they claim to be against their beliefs than there is in the religious forcing
their beliefs on everyone else. That should be the quid pro quo. If the religious want to enjoy freedom from the secular, then the secular should be able to enjoy freedom from the religious. But
the reasons for denying basic equality on religious grounds is not only inconsistent, it has become desperate. Some people will seize any boomerang they can to resist the case.
For instance, in 2004 the former Conservative MP Paul Goodman voted against the introduction even of the halfway house of civil partnerships, fearing their introduction would 'compromise an
institution which is an integral feature of our social ecology'. Mr Goodman, now executive editor of ConservativeHome, is a married convert to Catholicism. Six years on from the Civil
Partnerships Act becoming law, there is no word on whether it has compromised the 'social ecology' of his own marriage. But like so many other opponents of equal rights, he has now
shifted his case. This time around, in opposing the government's equal-marriage proposals, he cites among other things the importance of canvassing Muslim opinion in any plan for equality. To
call this disingenuous is to state the situation too generously.
The religious case against equal rights can — and probably will — be argued till the end of time. But the effort to deny equality to members of society on shifting religious grounds and
nonexistent practical ones is a war on decency as well as on conservative sense. The government should lead the way against this, not with a drawn-out consultation but a clear demonstration of what
belongs to the secular state and what belongs to the religious conscience. Future generations of married people, straight and gay, will thank them for it.

St. Mark's School of Texas
#1 Best Private K-12 Schools in America
Parent: I have friends who are attending various private and public schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area from grades 5 on through 12. In sitting down with the other dads it is undoubtedly true that no school has done more to prepare post the outbreak of the pandemic then St Mark's. Not only their children but their administration and teachers are out of this world!...Not only did the school literally review replace hundreds of things across the campus, they've also implemented a fantastic screening program, testing program, and communications program for SARS-COVID19...I know that when selecting schools grades, scores and college admissions are the number one priority. I never thought I would pick a school based upon their ability to handle a medical global outbreak...The school has literally blown us away! We are thankful that our son is there and hope that other schools can use them as a benchmark going into the winter of the pandemic.Read 71 Reviews
Trinity School
Junior: My overall school experience has been very positive! The teachers(with 1 or 2 exceptions) and academics have been outstanding so far, and it seems like I can do whatever I put my mind to here. There are plenty of options for clubs, and plenty of motivated students who participate in them. When I first entered the school, I thought a lot of the students would be aloof trust-fund kids. However, for the majority of students, that thankfully doesn't hold true. My only 2 complaints are: 1)the math curriculum, which for me is too repetitive and not challenging enough; and 2)the behavior of the administration(especially during covid), which can be paternalistic at times...Read 72 Reviews
The Nueva School
HILLSBOROUGH, CA
Junior: I personally love Nueva. I joined in 9th grade just for the high school and loved it! All the students are super welcoming, and the small class size (about 100 to a grade, 12-16 people per class) means that the environment is intimate and you get to know people really well. The school culture of calling our teachers by their first names means that we get to know them really well, and we know that they are there for us. Yes they are our teachers, but a lot of them are also friends! Further, I would say the best part about the school is how unique the classes and resources are. Classes like Neuroscience of Addiction and Experimental Research all take place in the top-notch biology labs, and our laser cutters, CNC machines, and woodcutters mean that kids can build literally anything in the i-Lab. All the clubs are open and there for you, and the school is 100% committed to diversity and comfort for all its students, and not afraid to discuss uncomfortable situations. Highly recommend!...Read 55 Reviews
The Brearley School
Parent: Brearley is a top notch, wonderful school! My 8-year-old daughter is thriving, happy and growing leaps and bounds every year. The Brearley community is warm, down to earth and diverse. The administration and the teachers will go above and beyond for your daughter and your family. While it has always been an academic powerhouse, it is also a school that encourages all of it's students to be creative and unique individuals, while learning to embrace Brearley's core values of "honesty, kindness, respect, responsibility and courage." We are lucky to be a part of the Brearley community...Read 74 Reviews
Riverdale Country School
Sophomore: As a current student at RCS, I have been blown away by the program here. The academics speak for themselves, but students are still encouraged to be well rounded people. Obviously I think my friends are great but I think the overall quality of the student body is impressive and there aren't many bad seeds. I also think the school has done a wonderful job welcoming students from diverse backgrounds without falling into the culture war traps that seem to have afflicted some other schools where the students needs have taken a backseat. Overall I am thrilled with the school...Read 59 Reviews
Alum: Horace Mann has developed to be more diverse, inclusive staff wise in recent years which makes the school experience much better. After recently graduating, I feel that HM has prepared me for the competitive nature of college and working. There are a few things that could have been improved when I was there (like a more diverse teaching staff, putting more focus on racial issues, etc.), but have since been focused and improved on!...Read 141 Reviews
Collegiate School
Parent: My son joined Collegiate last Year as a seventh grader. The school is wonderful and it accommodate my son perfectly. The school assigned French and Music teachers for my son for the entire year since he didn't have French or bass instrument before, at the end of the year he didn't just catch up with the other kids but he also became proficient in both subjects and we couldn't ask for more. On the other hand, the school environment and the parents are welcoming. As a family of color our experience of the diversity, inclusion, and belongings was excellent and our son fit perfectly at Collegiate...Read 25 Reviews
Rye Country Day School
Freshman: Rye Country Day School has helped me become a better person and has provided a great academical foundation for years to come. Though it can get stressful, with a lot of homework and extracurricular activities, RCDS is just awesome! The athletics are really good too and everyone is welcoming. There are many options for electives so you can pursue your interests. The food is pretty good too. It is a diverse community and a supportive environment!...Read 95 Reviews
Georgetown Day School
Freshman: This is my first year at GDS, and so far it's been amazing! All of my teachers are excellent, the classes are challenging, and I've been learning so much. I've been able to go in person two days a week, which is great, and most of my teachers have been on campus as well. The facilities are nice and modern, the students are interesting, and everyone is really kind. The clubs are well-run, too. I would recommend GDS to anyone who is willing to put in work at school and pay the tuition...Read 49 Reviews
#10 Best Private K-12 Schools in America
Senior: While yes, the academics are incredibly rigorous, and Dalton prepares us well for equally rigorous collegiate study, the methods with which certain students achieve in the high-school are often questionable, often downright immoral. 'Tutors' are rampant, brown-nosing is expected and encouraged, and the strict rules against cheating are often selectively enforced. Often success is directly correlated with socio-economic class, and what tier of donor you are. The fact is though, Dalton is almost certainly the least heinous offender of the aforementioned shady business within the private school circle, and the administration is at least attempting to reform itself. So if you are committed to sending your child to an elite/elitist NYC school, Dalton is probably your best option...Read 79 Reviews
MILTON, MA
Senior: Milton Academy students leverage their top-tier academics to achieve their goals. Whether that be in academics, athletics, the arts, or in social justice, everything these students do is done at the highest caliber. We love to learn and bond through knowledge! I would describe its community as full of social nerds. Milton has provided me with endless opportunities and has expanded my network immensely. Thank you for a wonderful three years so far, Milton. While I'll be moving onto a new chapter in the next couple years, I know I will always have Milton's support...Read 135 Reviews
Parent: As a parent of current poly students, I can attest to the quality of the teachers, faculty, student body and facilities. Poly is academically rigorous and sets high expectations for its students while providing the scholastic and emotional support needed to ensure every student has an opportunity to succeed. Poly also does an admirable job incorporating character building into their curriculum. Compassion, service, self awareness, diversity,...inclusion, tolerance and integrity are all modeled and reinforced throughout the campus at every grade level. Poly can of course continue to work on its diversity by reaching out to the larger Los Angles community to attract a more broad coalition of students. That said, we could not be happier. Most importantly our children (middle and high school) feel happy, proud, challenged, accepted, supported and seen...Read 104 Reviews
Sidwell Friends School
Parent: Sidwell has provided my children with an exceptional academic experience emphasizing critical thinking and problem solving, writing and communications, and quantitative reasoning. The workload has been substantial at times, but always enriching and interesting (i.e., rarely if ever busywork) and will fully prepare students for the rigors they'll experience in college and beyond. Moreover, Sidwell has done a great job of developing my children as well informed, highly engaged, and socially conscious citizens. Strongly recommend!...Read 65 Reviews
The Pingry School
Middle School Student: As a student at the Pingry School, I have to say that it's an excellent school to be in. The food is great, the teachers are welcoming, and the classes are helpful on educational levels. The homework isn't heavy, and everyone there tries their best to keep their life goals in mind. I would totally recommend this school! Learning here has been the best experience of my life, and, there is inclusion in sports and activities. There are so much things that are amazing about this school...Read 104 Reviews
The Spence School
Senior: I have gone to Spence my entire life and I am so grateful for that experience! I definitely enjoyed high school the most out of my 13 years there because of the opportunities, teachers, friends and unique learning experience. I feel close to all the staff and administration there and I truly believe that they want to help you succeed...Read 27 Reviews
The Chapin School
Niche User: Chapin from an academic standpoint is excellent. The teachers are dedicated and qualified; they care about their students and are engaged and immersed in the curricula. A highlight of the upper school is their english department, from attending Chapin I have become a better writer and communicator. The academics are rigorous and challenging and the school encourages students to peruse their interests. While the environment is competitive, it is also uplifting and supportive. Students often help each other with work and are always friendly in the hallway. The school is a great place to attend the only problem is the challenging adjustment student have if they transfer. Socially it's hard to find one's footing because everyone has known each other for years but despite that I strongly suggest the school. Other than the typical downsides of high school, this is a good school to attend...Read 80 Reviews
Cranbrook Schools
Senior: Cranbrook is an incredible place. I have gone here for the last 13 years, and I can say that it shapes people into fine, polite, astute, grounded young adults. There is constantly the stress by faculty on honesty, and being transparent; overall, the faculty are fantastic. I am on a texting basis with several of my teachers, and I feel like I have known every single one of my teachers here throughout my years very well, and they knew me even better back. Cranbrook is a place to go if you want, or you want your child to thrive and become an all-around intelligent, well-rounded, and organized person. ...It wouldn't be a Cranbrook review without the architecture. I am in a senior aesthetics elective, and we use the art around us as primary resources in our class! There is never a shortage of culture and history surrounding you. The campus, in my opinion, is what separates CK from other places. It's why kids thank the bus drivers or their teachers; it stresses a well-mannered culture...Read 245 Reviews
St. John's School
Middle School Student: After leaving a school I was very unhappy at, St. John's really showed me what a positive, healthy learning environment feels like. That being said, the representation of minority students is pretty minimal. I particularly feel that the school could do more to recognize students who identify as LGBTQ+ in lower grades.It is my belief that if acceptance is taught from a young age, than students would be kinder and more welcoming to people different from them, and more open to accepting themselves.Read 95 Reviews
Buckingham Browne & Nichols School
Senior: This is my seventh year at BB&N, and I have loved attending the school. The teachers all care deeply about their subject and the student experience. Every year I have at least two who completely captivate me and make me look at issues/problems in a different way. Students also have fantastic opportunities to participate in clubs and gain leadership, and I have enjoyed involving myself in the arts, athletics, and in the high school's multiple student publications. Especially with the administration's recent focus on community-building, I've always found opportunities to integrate myself among new friends and enriching extracurricular environments. I would highly recommend BB&N to any student who seeks academic challenge...Read 71 Reviews
Head-Royce School
Parent: My daughter has had an outstanding high school experience at Head-Royce - I can't imagine a better school for her. I remember thinking, at my initial parent tour, what a remarkably smart, involved, caring, switched on group of adults running this school and inspiring and supporting the kids - this first impression was spot on. The teachers, administrators, deans, advisors, counselors, librarians, etc are superb. The overall vibe of the kids seems great too - lively and fun but also really bright, hardworking and engaged. Go Jayhawks!...Read 64 Reviews
The Quarry Lane School
Middle School Student: Good school! Has a very fun-filled community with everyone greeting you and getting to know you. Within the first month of the year, many people can talk to me outside of class and engage in fun activities such as sports. I have even made some friends being the new kid at this school. Great experience and would definitely recommend this school to whoever reads this!...Read 146 Reviews
Avenues The World School
Sophomore: I am currently a Sophomore in high school at Avenues: The World School. It has been an excellent experience overall and I highly recommend this school to individuals looking for an immersive, innovative, community-based, and student-oriented learning space. I joined the school in 8th grade and the faculty and students have helped me to feel welcome and supported. Avenues has especially helped me to better my language skills and after just 2 years I have gone from an intermediate Spanish speaker to skipping two levels and reaching the advanced-mastery level Spanish classes. The way classes are taught, although non-traditional, help me to understand what life will be like in the real world and how to best iterate and share my own ideas. This school has helped me with so much, and I highly recommend it!...Read 77 Reviews
University of Chicago Laboratory Schools
Sophomore: I was a student at lab since preschool, and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The lower grades especially had something special about them. Elementary classes were based on projects and exploration, rather than rigid academics, which allowed me as a student to grow at my own pace. Middle school and high school were less special, but it remained a positive experience. Classes were challenging enough and there were a variety of more difficult options if we were advanced in a certain topic. One great thing about the upper grades are their clubs. Clubs and teams are open to anyone, no matter their skill. This allowed me to explore things I was interested in, without having the worry of tryouts or not being good enough. In my years at the school, I never experienced bullying, and rarely came across it with other students. That said my circle was a small and close-knit group, and that might not have been the experience of all...Read 131 Reviews
Alum: As a recent grad who went to GFS for 7 years, I can say that the school changed my life. No, it wasn't "perfect", but I love it and will be forever thankful for going there. Each student at GFS has a unique personality, and the environment is such that people can express themselves and not only be accepted, but embraced by the whole community. It is definitely more of a humanities centered school, but students will learn valuable deep thinking and analysis skills that will carry them through their lives. In addition, the teachers are incredibly accessible. If you ask them about an assignment, or even just want advice, they are respectful, helpful, and caring. Even after graduation, teachers still reach out and ask how I am doing. I also appreciate the creative nature of the school. J-Term changed my life in so many positive ways! Over the four years, J-term allowed me to start a new school club, student teach, and participate in two school exchanges. ...GFS is such an amazing school.Read 81 Reviews
Senior: Harker has provided me with fantastic preparation for college. The facilities are state of the art, especially the athletics dept/trainers. The food is amazing and the students are all incredibly gifted. The culture, however, can be toxic and harmful to kids mental health at times. There is high involvement from parents and a lot of test score/grade comparison between students. There is a plethora of extracurricular activities and clubs for students to choose from, from robotics to sports to STEM to humanities. The teachers are incredibly devoted and create strong bonds with their students. School spirit is dwindling but with recent athletic success has begun to spark up again. The student body is not incredibly diverse, both from a socioeconomic and from a racial standpoint, but same goes for most Bay Area schools. Overall my experience has been positive, and the connections that I've made and the personal growth have been tremendous...Read 147 Reviews
Elizabeth Seton High School
BLADENSBURG, MD
Senior: Elizabeth Seton is a very sisterhood-based community. This community makes sure each student is supported and achieves academic success. Elizabeth Seton allows its students many opportunities and pre-career programs so that they can focus on what they want to study in college early. Programs such as these allow students to figure out what their passions include and if they are interested in making a career out of it. Elizabeth Seton allows students to meet and connect with new people by bringing alumni and guest speakers to talk to current students about challenging times they will face in life and ways to avoid them. Also, Elizabeth Seton ensures that everyone in the community feels safe, loved, and understood no matter what religion, background, or ethnicity they come from. Academics are very important at Elizabeth Seton but also creating a sistership between students that will last beyond a student's graduation is an important goal too...Read 308 Reviews

St. Bartholomew Catholic School
PK, K-8
Parent: My son is in third grade at St. Bart's. We moved from an independent Catholic school and the change in his self-confidence was obvious right away. Class size is small, my son has a homeroom teacher and additional teachers for Spanish, Music, PE, library and computer lab. Although we don't need extra help in the classroom, I know resources are available for kids who have different challenges. Extracurriculars are provided through CYO or private companies and include chess, sports, science, robotics. The school body is small and teachers know all the kids by name. Recess is well supervised, and aftercare is fun. Hot lunch is catered and the caterer offers reasonably balanced meals. Uniform is easy, no jacket for the little guys in lower school! We'd love to see more after school activities being offered to the kids...Read 28 Reviews

In an effort to curb the staggeringly high accident rates that are the result of drivers being distracted by cell phones while behind the wheel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched it's "U Drive, U Text, U Pay" campaign that is squarely targeted at raising awareness of this dangerous practice.
With the month of April being declared "National Distracted Driving Awareness Month", the NHTSA coincided the launch of the campaign to help gain as much exposure as possible, particularly with those in the teenage driving group, who are increasingly become victims in auto accidents that are largely caused by distracted driving practices.
At the law offices of Gordon & Partners, our personal injury lawyer s and entire team support this initiative and urge all South Florida motorists to put the phone down when behind the wheel.
In fact, many cell phone carriers currently offer (or are working on) apps that will automatically send an "out of office" type of response to incoming calls and texts once a vehicle starts moving at more than 25 mph.
In the event that you or someone that you love is involved in an accident that was caused by another motorist that was texting and driving or distracted while behind the wheel, contact our auto accident lawyers today.
We have extensive knowledge of Florida's traffic and auto insurance laws and proudly offer 100% FREE consultations to help determine if you have sufficient grounds to file a damages lawsuit.
For more information, call us today at 1 (855) 722-2552. At Gordon & Partners, you wont owe us any fees or costs if we are unable to recover financial compensation for you.

The main economic problem facing Iran today is, therefore, not a lack of theoretical knowledge or practical experience; it is rather an absence of political will and managerial ability of implementing such a strategy that is crippling Iran's economy. As I have shown in a number of previous essays (please see here,hereand here), President Rouhani and his economic advisors are too deeply wedded and/or committed to the doctrine of liberal-neoliberal economics to carry out a war or resistance economic policy. Implementation of such a policy, which is essential to the revival of Iran's paralyzed economy, requires a different administration: an inward-looking administration that would rely on domestic resources, talents and capabilities; not an outward-looking administration that pins its hopes for economic development on Western capital, expertise and markets. Obviously, this implies the need for an altogether new, revolutionary government.


Kirsters Baish| It has just been reported that there have been shots fired at Highland High School in Palmdale, California, today. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that they had received a call reporting a man toting a gun on the high school campus.
Firefighter-paramedics spoke to NBC Los Angeles, telling them that they had received a report of one person with a gunshot wound.
There have been no confirmed injuries at this time. No suspect is in custody, as reported by the sheriff's office.
Highland High School sits roughly 65 miles from Los Angeles. The school is currently on mandatory lockdown.
Authorities say at least one person is hurt after police in Southern California responded to reports of a shooting at Highland High School Friday morning, reports CBS Los Angeles. The station reports that a suspect has been detained in that shooting.


SIZE DOWN on the free people tunic. I wore this as a coverup for today. But I have also styled it as a tunic here. Ignore the review, I love this shirt. I bought this in store at Macy's for $25 (the just marked it down) but it is on sale online for $30.93. It can also be found on the ASOS website, but it is $55 on there. So I would check daily on Macy's to see if they mark it down even more.
I love these jean shorts as well. They are currently on sale for $59 and I love them. I also linked some similar Kate Spade flips and they are on sale for $40!
