Voters in the Cedarburg School District approved a $59.8 million referendum Nov. 6 that will address enrollment growth.
The referendum passed on a vote of 6,117 (53 percent) to 5,378 (47 percent). The money it will provide the district will go toward new classrooms, focusing on the STEM fields, as well as upgrades to safety and security measures, with all five district schools receiving upgrades.
"The Cedarburg School Board thanks the Cedarburg community for exercising their right to vote on the referendum. Honoring the input from the community, the School Board will now determine the next steps all the while being great stewards of the taxpayers," the Cedarburg School District said in an emailed statement to North Shore Now. "The School Board remains committed to upholding the excellent educational outcomes we are so proud of and fortunate to have in Cedarburg. The District and community remains steadfast on preparing our students to achieve their goals and dreams."
ELECTION RESULTS: Wisconsin and Milwaukee-area midterm races
The referendum's tax impact would be an estimated 58 cents per $1,000 of property value. A $300,000 home's owner would see a $174 annual tax increase, or $14.50 per month.
According to the school district, the referendum will address its capacity issues that come with its enrollment growth, as it said its schools are either almost at or above capacity.
Resident perspectives
Cedarburg resident Jessica Brophy, who has children in the district, said she voted for the referendum after seeing the effect of increased enrollment in the district, in particular at Thorson Elementary where her children attended.
She was curious about what the district's original $72.3 million proposal entailed. Once it was cut down to its current number, she did some research and was persuaded by information sessions and reading the district's referendum website and frequently asked questions. She also said she liked the district's long-range master plan, saying it "was well-presented and thought out."
"It felt like a great investment for our kids to be able to receive a quality education with proper resources and facilities as well. It was something we really felt warranted the investment of a tax increase — not only to aid and enhance the school system, but also to help increase our property values and maintain the attraction for younger families to move into the district," Brophy said.
District resident Marcy Ernster, who is part of an anti-referendum group called the Concerned Cedarburg School District Citizens (CCSDC), said she and that group opposed the referendum because of disagreements with the district over several issues.
Those issues included enrollment, capacity, school safety and the tax impact.
"The district has been misleading about the tax impact of the referendum," Ernster said. "If the referendum passes, you will be paying $181 for debt per $100,000 in property value, not $58," Ernster said in a previous article about the CCSDC. "The district has tried to hide the true tax impact by timing the new borrowing with the expiration of the previous referendum. If the referendum doesn't pass, you will see a significant decrease in your taxes as the old debt gets paid off."

How the CFIA Uses DNA to Fight Food borne Illness
How the CFIA Uses DNA to Fight Food-borne Illness
Learn more about how whole genome sequencing is improving the safety and well-being of Canadians.
The ability to respond to or prevent food-borne illness outbreaks and other food safety hazards is a critical component to safeguarding the health and well-being of people, the environment and the economy.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) works to protect Canadians from unsafe food by tracking down the source of harmful organisms (e.g. bacterial pathogens) in the country's food supply and removing contaminated food items from the market.
A world-leader in food safety analysis, the CFIA can now prevent outbreaks faster than ever with the help of whole genome sequencing (WGS), a process of decoding the genetic information of disease-causing bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli.
What is whole genome sequencing?
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a laboratory procedure that determines the entire genetic structure of an organism in one process. Unlike biochemical techniques of the past, which could reveal little more than the presence of a bacterial pathogen in a contaminated food sample, whole genome sequencing unlocks the organism's DNA, revealing genetic markers, such as:
the exact species or strain of the bacteria
how harmful it is to humans
whether or not it is resistant to antibiotics
Whole genome sequencing provides CFIA investigators with far more information than previous technologies and can be done much faster — in some cases, twice as fast.
Where biochemical techniques took days or even weeks, whole genome sequencing can identify the genomic blueprint of an organism in as little as 24 hours — which makes a big difference when it comes to minimizing the impact of food-borne illness outbreaks.
How does whole genome sequencing help to prevent food-borne illness?
Once an organism's entire genome is known, a short piece of it can be used to identify the species. That short piece of the genome acts as a fingerprint, which makes it possible for food safety investigators to identify the organism in samples taken from food, people or specific food processing facilities.
With the organism's fingerprint, CFIA investigators can:
detect food-borne illness outbreaks faster
confirm the presence of a particular food-borne pathogen in food, people or facilities
link cases of illness or food contamination to one another
identify sources of contamination in the food manufacturing environment or processes
When a potential health risk is identified, the CFIA facilitates a health risk assessment and determines the most appropriate action, like whether or not to recall the product.
If a recall is necessary, the CFIA works quickly to inform the public, initiate voluntary removal of the product(s) from the market and verify that the recalled product(s) have been removed from store shelves.
CIFS Members get access to food recalls, allowing them to stay on top of the latest food safety updates that could affect their business.
CIFS Membership is free for 12 months with registration in the CIFS Food Handler Certificate Course.
Note: It is the responsibility of industry to remove the product from sale or distribution.
After a recalled product is removed from the market, the CFIA continues to work with the processor, manufacturer or importer to ensure that any food safety issues that led to the recall are resolved.
CFIA inspectors will conduct an immediate site visit to inspect equipment, hygiene and production practices, collect food samples for laboratory testing and identify corrective actions the company should take.
Later, inspectors will return for a follow-up inspection. If new samples taken during the follow-up inspection match the DNA fingerprint of the sample taken the first time, they know the original problem was not properly addressed or corrected.
REGULATORY CHANGES
While whole genome sequencing is still a relatively new technology, it has already changed the landscape in terms of how food is processed in Canada.
In May 2017, CFIA scientists started using whole genome sequencing to investigate food-borne illness outbreaks linked to frozen breaded chicken products.
Following 17 national outbreaks of Salmonella infection and 566 laboratory-confirmed cases, the CFIA implemented new regulations requiring all manufacturers of frozen breaded chicken products to reduce Salmonella levels to below detectable levels, thus improving the safety of the Canadian food supply.

Lluís Collado  (València, 1510/1520 - València, 1585/1587), fou un metge valencià, catedràtic de la Universitat de València i protometge i sobrevisitador del regne des de 1576 fins a la seva mort.

Com a deixeble d'Andreas Vesal, comparteix amb ell la visió fisiològica del cos humà; mentre en la medicina pràctica segueix la doctrina de Galé i Hipòcrates, depurada pels filòlegs humanistes, i rebutja els afegitons del comentaristes àrabs.

Biografia
Neix a València a principis del . Fins a 1546, quan apareix essent professor de la Universitat de València, sols es coneix que el 2 de maig de 1531 obté el grau de batxiller en Arts a la mateixa Universitat. Després de 1531 són tot hipòtesis. Continua els seus estudis d'Humanitats i Medicina, però s'ignora si en la mateixa Universitat de València o en altra. Ell mateix indica, en les seves publicacions, que fou deixeble de Vesal i, per tant, podria haver estat el seu alumne en algun moment.

La seva trajectòria acadèmica se centra a la Universitat de València. Els anys 1546 i 1548 ocupa la càtedra de Cirurgia. El 1550 substitueix Pere Ximeno en la càtedra triennal rotatòria de Medicina (Principis, Simples i Anatomia, i Pràctica), càtedra que manté fins a 1573. L'any 1574 ocupa la càtedra de Pràctica particular, en la qual es manté deu cursos, tot i que des del principi s'oposa a les exigències del Consell municipal d'utilitzar en les seves lliçons obres de metges àrabs. Comença a actuar com a examinador de la facultat de Medicina, primer com a suplent i després com a titular, des de 1551 fins a 1584. El 5 de febrer de 1568, quan ja ocupava la titularitat, se li assigna com a suplent o "conjunt" Josep Reguart. A l'inici del curs 1557-1558, el 17 de juliol, és apartat de la càtedra de Simples i Anatomia, potser per instigació del rector Salaia, oposat a l'humanisme reformista al qual pertanyia Collado, i no hi retorna fins al 15 de febrer de 1558. Mentre la seva renovació en la càtedra de Pràctica particular el curs 1579-1580 queda posposada mentre no restitueixi els dies que deu per no haver-hi fet classe.

El 22 de desembre de 1550 és nomenat examinador de metges, juntament amb Nicasi Foix, catedràtic de cirurgia.

L'any 1555 surten impresos els seus comentaris sobre el De Ossibus ad Tirones de Galè. Es tracta d'una defensa de Vesal davant dels atacs de Jacobus Sylvius, antic professor parisenc de Vesal, en dos llibres apareguts en 1549 i 1551, en què aquest defensava Galé de les crítiques de Vesal. Collado utilitza la seva experiència en disseccions per qüestionar el discurs osteològic de Galé i la defensa de Sylvius, mentre enalteix el treball de Vesal, tot i que en qüestions puntuals el matisa i corregeix. En aquest llibre, tot i no ser el descobridor, com ell pretén, és el primer a donar-li nom a l'estrep: «...quod simile esset equitandi instrumento, quo pedes firmantur, Stapedae nomen imposui» (Com que és similar a l'instrument eqüestre que subjecta els peus, el vaig anomenar estrep).

El 1561 publica Ex Hippocrates et Galeni monumentis Isagoge. És un manual universitari sobre els fonaments de la medicina pràctica. Segueix les doctrines dels metges grecs per a aconseguir que els estudiants adquiresquen un mètode racional i no dogmàtic, oposant-se a la medicina empirista. El methodus medendi de Galé és el cos doctrinal d'aquests fonaments.

El 25 de març de 1576 és nomenat protometge i sobrevisitador del regne de València, càrrec poc més que honorífic, ja que malgrat la voluntat reial de controlar la professió mèdica, els cirurgians i les apotecaries, el sistema foral ja manté uns procediments de control autòctons. Així, en les Corts de 1585 els tres estaments de forma conjunta presenten dos capítols per a reforçar les competències forals sobre la inspecció de les apotecaries, ratificats pel rei, i reflectits en els furs 168 i 169 d'aquestes Corts.

Lluís Collado participa activament en l'oposició a la medicina d'Avicenna que practicaven majoritàriament els metges jueus conversos i moriscs, tant des de la seva càtedra a la universitat, des del seu càrrec d'examinador i com a protometge i sobrevisitador. Era una postura essencialment ideològica, més que racial o teològica.

Sobre la seva mort sols es tenen unes dates extremes: l'any 1584 deixa les seves tasques acadèmiques a la Universitat, tant les classes com l'examinatura, mentre el 15 de juny de 1587 és la seva filla, Esperança Collado, qui aconsegueix l'exclusivitat per a imprimir durant deu anys les obres del seu pare. També apareix, ja mort, en un document reial de nomenament del seu successor com a protometge del regne de València, signat el 21 d'octubre de 1589, en el qual s'indica que la substitució en el càrrec es fa perquè «Cum per obitem dilecti nostri Ludovici Collado medicinae doctoris vacuum in posse use regiae curiae officium Protomedici... (Perquè des de la mort del nostre estimat metge Lluís Collado existeix en la cúria reial el buit de protometge…)».

Law Web: Whether principles of res judicata are applicable to interlocutory orders?
In Arjun Singh v. Mohindra Kumar10, Supreme Court elaborately discussed how interlocutory orders attain finality and, consequently, how the principle of res judicata applies to them. Arjun Singh classifies the interlocutory orders into three types: (a) orders like staying proceedings, injuncting parties, appointing receivers; (b) orders like restoring proceedings, as under Order 9, Rule 7 of CPC; (c) orders like those that cannot be reopened or reconsidered unless fresh facts emerge.

Q: making a histogram using a for loop I seem to be having an issue when I try to obtain a histogram inside a for loop. Here's what my code looks like:
for i in channel_list:

    ch = int(i)
    channel_data = buf.getChannelData(ch)
    time_seq = buf.getTimeSequence(0.0)

    #specify the parameters here:

    aveChannel_data = np.mean(channel_data[0:100])
    calChannel_data = channel_data - aveChannel_data

    channel, up, low, mid, before, after= self.drop_time(ch,calChannel_data)
    fall_time = time_seq[low]- time_seq[before]
    rise_time = time_seq[after] - time_seq[low]

    plt.hist(fall_time, bins = 30)

But instead I get something like this:

It seems that for every iteration the new data keeps being plotted over the old data.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

The 38 Best Movies On Amazon Prime Streaming Now Include So Many Oscar Winners
By Savannah Walsh
Amazon/Lionsgate
Although Netflix is everyone's go-to streaming site, Amazon Prime is also proving its staying power in the world of marathoning. On the television side, Amazon regularly serves up quality original programming such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Transparent. But don't sleep on Amazon's movie selection, as the streaming service is home to a limitless library of film classics, from nostalgic family flicks to modern blockbusters. In the words of SNL's Stefon, "This place has everything." Whether you've got a soft spot for Indiana Jones, a tendency towards rom coms, or a lover of all things Oscar-y, there is something to check out. Here are the 38 best movies you can stream on Amazon while shopping for weird knick knacks all in one pace.
This list spans decades, genres, and subject matter, but the movies featured have all won a form of critical, box office or awards acclaim. Some are must-sees for any cinephile worth their salt and others are smaller indies that transport viewers on a more intimate scale. All are available on Amazon Prime, to make streaming as easy as possible. So, grab your shopping list and movie bucket list for your next low-key weekend and check out the great films below.
1. 'Arrival'
The arrival of a strange alien species to Earth calls upon Amy Adams' linguist Louise to uncover their purpose through language. Nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, it has one of the trippiest movie twists ever.

3. 'Dirty Dancing'

6. 'Lady Bird'
In her directorial debut, Greta Gerwig delivered a film full of heart, teen angst, and the national treasure that is Beanie Feldstein in a tale about the complexity between mothers and daughters.
7. 'Nightcrawler'
Practically any Jake Gyllenhaal performance is worth watching, but none may be creepier and yet more magnetizing than his portrayal of crime scene camera man Louis Bloom. Also worth checking out on Amazon: the underrated thriller Brothers, which fulfills the ultimate casting destiny of making Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire siblings.
8. 'Saturday Night Fever'
Why miss an opportunity to watch John Travolta dance and dress his way through the '70s like only he can?
9. 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'
Perhaps Audrey Hepburn's most iconic role came in the form of this Truman Capote adaptation that culminates in the be all end all kissing-in-the-rain sequence.
10. 'Moonlight'
There's a reason this 2016 indie won Best Picture (after somehow briefly losing to La La Land). Experience one character's journey from boy to man as he struggles with issues of identity and family.

Indulge the Christmas in July movement by re-watching a holiday staple that admittedly never gets old.

Dustin Hoffman's breakout came in this 1967 dramedy about a recent college graduate wandering aimlessly towards his future. Sound familiar?
15. 'Election'
Even if the topic of corrupt elections feels a little sensitive right now, the discomfort will be worth it to watch Reese Witherspoon play Tracy Flick, a high school student hell bent on a student body presidency.
16. 'Short Term 12'
This underrated indie about a treatment facility for troubled youth gives all of the feels and a typically impeccable Brie Larson performance.
17. 'Sophie's Choice'
Warning: watch only if prepared to seek help for emotional trauma after watching. Give Streep all of the Oscars.
18. 'Jaws'
Da da da dum.
19. 'Pretty In Pink'
The John Hughes canon of teen films is ripe with content and characters to love, but Jon Cryer's Duckie gives them all a run for their money as Molly Ringwald's friend-zoned confidant.
20. 'The Addams Family'
If loving this family of baddies is wrong, you don't want to be right.
21. 'Bull Durham'

28. 'There Will Be Blood'
Now that Daniel Day-Lewis has reportedly retired from acting, every one of his performances feels like a treasure found in a time capsule. He won his second Oscar for this Paul Thomas Anderson-directed drama.
29. 'Manchester By The Sea'
Watch with a box of tissues and a comedy lined up next on your queue.
30. 'The Elephant Man'
Before it was an inventive Broadway play starring the likes of Bradley Cooper, this heartbreaking story based on a true story was a gripping film starring John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins.
31. 'Charlotte's Web'
Salutations, childhood nostalgia.
32. 'Blazing Saddles'
Part-western, part-Mel Brooks spoof, Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder make for the ultimate film duo.
33. 'Monster'

Colonial Jamestown Essay
Colonial Jamestown
In 1606 King James I set two companies, the London and the Plymouth, out with three instructions: find gold, find a route to the South Seas, and find the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Five months later, and forty-five men less, the London Company landed on a semi-island along the banks of a river the Indians knew as "Powhatan's River". On May 13, 1607, the first permanent British colony had been established in the form of a triangular fort. The men named their fort Jamestown, in honor of their King, and named their land Virginia, in honor or Queen Elizabeth I, the "Virgin Queen".
"The company defined Virginia as the entire North American coast between 30º and 45ºN, and extending inland for 50 miles (80 kilometers). Virginia at one time stretched from southern Maine to California and encompassed all or part of 42 of the present 50 states, as well as Bermuda and part of the Canadian province of Ontario." (Gale group) At first, the men believed they had found paradise. The climate appeared mild, and the natives had reacted friendly. John Smith wrote, "Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's habitations." (Colonial History) Then, the beautiful new world turned to blistering heat, swarms of insects, unfit water, starvation, fierce winters, Indian attacks, and shiploads of inappropriately-prepared "Colonists" "whose breeding," a contemporary said, "never knew what a day's labor meant." These were men, often lesser scions of nobility, with no future in overpopulated England, who had been lured by the Virginia Company with promises of land and wealth--much as people were lured into going to California during the Gold Rush. But there was no gold in Virginia, and these "prospectors" didn't know how to farm, didn't know how to hunt, and--possibly feeling betrayed by the Virginia Company's promises, and lacking any land of their own--were not known for their spirit of cooperation either among themselves, nor with the local Indians of the Powhatan confederacy.
The only man who was able to somewhat keep peace, both in the colony and with the Indians, was John Smith. Despite the attempts of John Smith, the settlers still suffered one horror after another. Then, to make things worse, Smith was injured in a gunpowder explosion, and had to be shipped back to England. The colony quickly succumbed to anarchy when Smith returned to England just two years after Jamestown was founded. Tensions mounted with the native Powatan Indians, as in Smith's absence, settlers opted to raid Indian food supplies when staples ran out and British ships failed to arrive to replenish supplies (Taylor 127). Disease struck most of the first settlers within the years of 1609-1610. "Only 60 of the original 300 settlers were still alive by May, 1610," according to historian Edward Dodson. That same year, colonists founded Henrico (which later became Richmond), easing the isolation problems and food shortages experienced at...

One more newbie question and I promise I won't bug you all for the rest of the night( or at least the next hour).
From reading this great on line community for close to a year, I noticed a lot of you bought your airstreams from out of state, in many cases a long way from home,.
What happens when you need service? I know any authorized dealer is suppose to handle warranty problems, but after reading some of the bad service stories on here, how are your problems taken care of if you go for repairs at a dealer you didn't buy from. For example if I ended up buying with colonial in NJ, which has some good reviews on here, it would be really difficult for us to go all the back there for any service or warranty issues that come up..
Again thanks for the help and input.
Many folks find former dealers that operate as service centers or independent shops for routine work. As was mentioned, any Airstream dealer is authorized to do warranty work. But the most competent shop could be elsewhere.
I would go where the reports are that there are qualified service technicians on staff.
Regardless of which dealer you source from, another can perform warranty repairs. Luckily, Deland is only 100 miles from Bates RV in Alachua.
We bought our trailer at a dealer 3 hours away, but have had warranty work done by a dealer who is 4 hours away. We like the dealer who is 4 hours away.
What service after the sale? My nearest dealer is 350 miles away and no local shop will touch an Airstream. Thankfully, I can do all of my own work.
Airstream is very loyal to it's dealers, not so much for it's customers.
There are a number of good, reliable service places. Quick story. On our way from Virginia to Arizona a bedroom window broke from an impact. We caught it in western TN. I called Jackson Center asking what to do. They referred me to a dealer near Phoenix and I set up a repair date with them. All went well. Moral: Even on the road a plan can come together.
I am beginning to wonder that myself. I bought used and the selling dealer paid for the warranty transfer. But the nearest AS dealer took a week to do the inspection and took a month to get me the right part for a broken sink part. With cars and boats I am used to better service than that so I am wondering what this warranty is really worth unless I want to drive to Ohio. My nearest AS dealer is 4 hours away. I am hoping that I can shake out any service issues on a road trip next year and do most work myself.
I just purchased a used 2012 Eddie Bauer 27FB (purchased new March of 2012). I purchased it near Denver Colorado, where the only authorized dealer is Windish RV. My understanding is that the AS warranty is for 24 months, and there is a ~$250 warranty transfer fee.
I called Windish RV to setup an inspection, and they stated they are ~3 months on a waiting list! WTH? I called Airstream to find an authorized inspection place near Colorado Springs (where I am located), and they never replied back.
As of now (knock on wood), I have ZERO issues. I fixed a few missing rivits, gas hose leak at the tank, valve, missing screws, screen pop outs, unhooked negative wire on the DC, bad batteries (note- PLEASE check your water levels!!!!).
Any recommendation if I should still try to find a place for an inspection and pay the fee to carry the warranty for the last 8 months?

The weekend ahead on your TV set
Here are 10 (plus) programs worth checking out this weekend.
Mike Hughes
For Choices
1) "Golden Globe Awards," 5 p.m. PT, NBC; repeats at 8. We can expect fun (Jimmy Fallon hosts) and quirky choices. This splits movies into dramas ("Manchester by the Sea," "Hacksaw Ridge," "Lion," "Moonlight," "Hell or Highwater") and comedies or musicals ("La La Land," "Deadpool," "Sing Street," "20th Century Women," "Florence Foster Jenkins"). In TV, every drama except "Game of Thrones" is in its first year -- "This is Us," "Westworld," "The Crown" and "Stranger Things."
2) "This is Us," 1-11 p.m. Saturday, USA. This show has soared quickly. Ratings have been good, praise has been high. The American Film Institute called it one of the year's 10 best shows; the Critics Choice awards named it "most exciting new series." The latter also nominated it for best drama, as did the Golden Globes. Now, before it returns to NBC Tuesday, you can see everything so far. Gerald McRaney has superb guest roles in the opener (1 p.m.) and the 10 p.m. hour, which has lives in peril.
New to DVD: Week of Jan. 3
3) Pro football playoffs. Some of the top quarterbacks scramble to get their teams into the final eight. At 5:15 p.m. PT Saturday on NBC, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks host Matthew Stafford and the Lions. On Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers host Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins at 10:05 a.m. on CBS; Aaron Rodgers and the Packers host Eli Manning and the Giants at 1:40 p.m. on Fox. First, however, a Texans-Raiders game (1:35 p.m. Saturday, ESPN) has teams with quarterback woes.
4) "Portlandia" season-opener, 7 p.m. PT Thursday, IFC, rerunning at 10. Have you ever wondered what happens when two witches go shopping at Bed, Bath, and Beyond? You'll see tonight, in a hilarious sketch. This is the sort of droll absurdism that Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein do brilliantly; here, it launches a great comedy night. At 8 and 8:30 p.m., NBC brings back the likable "Superstore" and the witty "The Good Place." CBS counters with TV's best comedies, "Big Bang Theory" at 8, "Mom" at 9.
5) Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," 8 and 9 p.m. Friday, CW. Here's a double scoop of a show that's fresh, original and (despite being uneven in quality) often quite clever. After a stagnant stretch, both hours propel the plot sharply. The first has major moments in the romance of Rebecca's ex-boyfriend Josh and in the marriage of her friend Paula – leading to a child-care misadventure in a strip club The second has a huge change in her work world. That one, in particular, includes some wonderfully witty songs.
New to streaming: Week of Jan. 3
6) "Grimm" final-season opener, 8 p.m. Friday, NBC. What do you do if the world's gone mad and Evil runs the government? "We regroup; we rebuild," Trubel said. That has to be quick, because "Grimm" only has 13 episodes left and steep obstacles. The mayor and other officials are monsters (literally); Nick, the monster-fighter, was called a criminal and attacked by a horde of killers. He survived, thanks to a magic stick and a little girl's doll; it's that kind of show, but well-made. Now he tries to escape.
7) "Emerald City," 9 and 10 p.m. Friday, NBC. Fresh from "Grimm," we start something even grimmer. Dorothy Gale is a young Kansas nurse who is propelled by a tornado and inadvertently kills a witch. Yes, this is a re-working of "Wizard of Oz," but it's not for kids ... and not for some adults. It's beautifully crafted, but relentlessly dark in mood. Adria Arjona is a first-rate star; as The Wizard and Glinda, Vincent D'Onofrio and Joely Richardson require approximately 17 percent of their talent.
8) Sherlock Holmes tales, Sunday. After resting on two holidays, "Elementary" returns to its 10 p.m. spot on CBS; Holmes and Watson race to save a woman who's been captive for years. That faces strong competition from a "Sherlock" double-feature on PBS. At 7 p.m. is a rerun of last week's season-opener; Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) is in modern London, where Watson and his wife struggle with parenthood. At 9, Toby Jones plays Culverton Smith, one of Sherlock's toughest enemies.
Movie preview: 2017
9) "The Real Mad Men of Advertising," 9 p.m. Sunday, Smithsonian, rerunning at midnight. As "Mad Men" viewers know, Madison Avenue once rippled with fun and creativity, plus alcohol, drugs and a sense of white-male privilege. This interesting documentary looks at the 1950s tonight and the '60s next week, with lots of clips, plus some of the people who were there. The result is sometimes scattered but takes us to the days when a Volkswagen ad or a "plop plop fizz fizz" commercial could stir pop culture.
10) And more. Cable has two looks at Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, the mother and daughter who died a day apart, at 84 and 60. 2011 interview reruns at 10 p.m. Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network; a documentary, "Bright Lights," debuts at 11 p.m. Saturday on HBO. Also: A documentary about the Menendez Brothers murder case is 9-11 p.m. Thursday on ABC ... a Latina version of "One Day at a Time" arrives Friday on Netflix ... and "Ransom" settles into its CBS slot at 8 p.m. Saturday.

Cage at the top of Box Office
William Spain, William Spain, and William Spain|March 24, 2009
The debut of the Nicolas Cage science-fiction thriller 'Knowing' took top honors at the weekend box office, raking in some $24.8 million through Sunday morning, according to studio estimates.
The picture, released by privately held Summit Entertainment, knocked 'Race to Witch Mountain' out of the top spot, with the Disney film falling to fourth place with $13 million in ticket sales.
Two other new films – Viacom's 'I Love You, Man' and 'Duplicity' from General Electric's Universal Pictures – were in the second and third spots for the week, with totals of $18 million and $14.4 million, respectively.
Time Warner's 'Watchmen' came in fifth at $6.7 million followed by 'The Last House on the Left' – a gorefest from Universal _ – with $5.9 million.
Rounding out the top 10 were 'Taken' and 'Slumdog Millionaire' both from News Corp's Fox; 'Madea Goes to Jail' from Lionsgate; and 'Coraline' from Focus Features, a unit of Universal.
'Slumdog' is still tops to date, though, with a total of $137.2 million while 'Taken' holds the runner-up spot at $133.1 million.


Well, I don't have much to say...I'm a medicine student, so I'm not gonna be really overactive, but I saw this comic (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon SAGA) and it really inspired me to finally slack off and my comic (Since I've got LOTS of ideas). I like pokemon since I'm like, 7...I don't really know what else to say :B If you ever want to chat just hit me up or something, I will answer asap, I like knowing new people.
Oh, English is not my main language (It's spanish) so if you have problems with the way I express myself, I'm sorry..
Thank you all guys, you are amazing spriters!
I will start working on this chapter asap.
It seemed cool just to think about the little kids finally growing up and getting those uber final stage evolution power ups!
It's not some kind of friendship aura, it's Blaze and Overgrow activating...I wanna make Pokemon abilities stronger than they are in the games so that they are more interesting.
In case you wonder, Killer's ability was Sniper, that's the reason he hit so hard, cause with that ability, he knew where to hit to make his attacks become critical.
I guess Gecko isn't that bad after all.
After a hard day of work, I finally found my way around GIMP, changed the horrible Title Page to a more decent one (I plan to change it from time to time as I reveal more main characters or as I see fit), anyways, here are some of the original nintendo tale changes :3 I put all of my morning into bringing this near to perfection, I hope you guys enjoy!
I loved the way you edited sprites, in fact, it inspired me to try to do my own sprite comic, but you are great at drawing too so that's cool. Keep up the amazing job!

Bensalem school superintendent resigns to return to classroom teaching
It was short, but sweet. In 2009, at age 40, William J. Gretzula was appointed superintendent of Bucks County's Bensalem School District.
by By Dan Hardy, Inquirer Staff Writer
It was short, but sweet.
In 2009, at age 40, William J. Gretzula was appointed superintendent of Bucks County's Bensalem School District.
Wednesday night, citing family priorities and the wish to return to his roots as an educator, the now 42-year old Gretzula announced to the astonishment of residents at a school board meeting that he was leaving the post to teach in the district's schools.
The board hired him as a teacher on the spot; what school, grade, and subject he will teach have yet to be determined. He will stay on as superintendent until the end of August, Gretzula said in an interview Thursday.
By all accounts, the decision to step down was Gretzula's and he will be missed. "He has been a godsend," school board vice president Harry R. Kramer said. "He is one of those people who has a remarkable insight into the needs of kids. I'd say he has been our best superintendent in the last 25 years. He has that gleam in his eyes. He just lights up when he talks about education. He will be hard to replace."
Gretzula, who came to the 6,000-student Bensalem district in 2007 as an assistant superintendent and whose salary is now $159,500, said in an interview that he had already missed too many singular moments with his children, who are 8 and 5.
That was brought home, he said, when his son told him recently that he loved and hated his dad's job.
"Everywhere you go, people know you," his son had told him with pride. But he added, "you are not home a lot."
Gretzula said he realized he had been "everywhere except where I am supposed to be - with my family."
He noted that as a teacher, he will still devote a great deal of time to his job, but said he will have more flexibility than he has now.
"I need to be more available for my family," he said.
Gretzula said he was also leaving the top job because teaching is where his heart lies.
"I want to reconnect to the passion that got me into this in the first place," he said. "It's about getting back to the heart of the matter: teaching and learning."
Gretzula said he believed he was leaving the district in good shape and with a capable school board overseeing it. He fears, however, what the future will bring because, he said, "public education is under attack" by the push toward charter schools and funding cuts in the legislature.
He said that rather than focusing on improving education for children, his colleagues are beginning to talk about "dismantling public education with care."
"I don't want to spend the next 20 years taking apart public education brick by brick," he said. "I'm not going to sit here and do that."

Everything You Need To Know About the Honeymoon Tradition
It's not as lovey-dovey as you might think

The History and Meaning of the Honeymoon Honeymoon FAQs
Honeymoon Alternatives
Whether a honeymoon is something you and your spouse plan on partaking in or not, it's a tradition and a privilege that many couples take advantage of if they have the opportunity. And, if you have the means, it's easy to understand why. A honeymoon is a time to bond, relax, celebrate as a couple, reflect on your relationship, and look ahead at what's to come.
Honeymoons don't always mean lying out on a beach with your loved one, which we'll get into later. But as you consider integrating this post-wedding tradition into your itinerary, questions will likely arise: Do we have to go right after our wedding? How long should the trip be? What's the average cost? What, exactly, do people do? And what is the origin of honeymoons?
Susan Waggoner is a wedding historian and author.
Read on to learn more about this storied tradition from wedding historian Susan Waggoner, and get answers to every honeymoon question you can think of.
The History and Meaning of the Honeymoon
Unsurprisingly, honeymoon history is a bit gloomy, just like many wedding traditions. Wedding historian Susan Waggoner says the honeymoon "dates from the days of marriage by capture when, after snatching his bride, the groom swept her away to a secret location, safe from discovery by her angry kin." And there he would keep her until "the family would either give up the search or the bride would become pregnant, making all questions of her return moot." If you need to stop reading right now, top off your coffee, and ponder some things about existence, you certainly have permission.
After marriage-by-capture ceased to exist, "the honeymoon abduction was practiced in ritual form," Waggoner explains. So, now, the groom was taking the bride away with her family's consent, "both sides knowing full well a handsome price would be offered and accepted once the deed was done." Waggoner writes, "Later, it became customary for the groom to pay the father a bride price beforehand and to have a public ceremony before completing the 'abduction.'"
The word "honeymoon" itself is derived from the Scandinavian practice of drinking mead, or fermented honey, during the first month of the marriage (measured by one moon cycle) in order to improve the likelihood of conception. The word also showed up in the 1500s "as a term to warn newlyweds about waning love." The message was clear: "As the moon wanes, so shall your love."
So, modern-day romantic honeymoons only became possible with two bits of social progress. First, marriage became less transactional and more about love, and second, industrial progress enabled travel for pleasure. Today, it's common for couples to incorporate a bit of decompression time after the wedding.
Honeymoon FAQs
Do we have to go right after the wedding?
Definitely not. There's no need to jet off as soon as you're done partying and, in fact, you'll appreciate some time to rest between your actual wedding and your getaway. Some people plan to take a trip later in the year or on their first wedding anniversary, and some other couples even go away prior to the wedding.
How long should the trip be?
There is no standard length of time for a honeymoon. They can range from a night to over a month long. Some things you should consider, though, are your budget, how much time it takes to travel to and from your destination, and how much time you can realistically take off from work.
What are some popular honeymoon spots?
Some of the usual suspects include the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Bali, Indonesia. Then again, not everybody considers a cocktail on the beach a good time, so Austin, Texas, or Tokyo might be more up some couple's alleys. For a good mix of options, we've rounded up the best honeymoon hotspots.
What do people do on honeymoons?
Well, that depends on the couple and what kind of honeymoon you're looking for. Some opt for an adventure-heavy trip, which can include everything from hiking to scuba diving. While others want to lean into rest and relaxation and opt for a wellness-centric honeymoon filled with healing me-time, togetherness, and lots of couples massages.
Erika Swift, a wedding planner in Phoenix, offers a bit of wisdom: "Get naked a lot. Eat at all the tourist hot spots. Do all the hotel sex you can. Leave your phone on silent. Upload pictures after you get home. Enjoy each other!"
Again, this depends on the kind of trip you want. The average honeymoon cost in 2019 was around $5,000, but this can fluctuate. Just like your big day, organizing it involves a plan and a budget. We have some tips here.
What's the best time of the year to go?
We hate to sound like a broken record, but this, again, comes down to where you're planning to go. You'll want to avoid certain tropical spots during hurricane season, and you probably don't want to go to certain places during super touristy times either. Lucky for you we've already broken down the best honeymoon destinations by month.
When should we plan it?
The ideal timeframe is six to eight months prior to your travel dates, especially if you're thinking about European honeymoon destinations that coincide with the summer travel season. If you have your sights set on some seriously far-flung adventure destinations, you might want to look at planning your honeymoon as far as a year in advance.
Some couples might opt to forgo the honeymoon and, instead, put that money toward a down payment on a house or another big purchase. Others might choose to have a mini-moon and travel somewhere local for a weekend.
As we mentioned before, taking a longer trip months after the wedding is an option. This way, you can extend the celebration. And having your honeymoon prior to the wedding is a special way to prepare for marriage.
Other couples choose to package their weddings and honeymoons into one by having destination weddings, which was often a necessity for many same-sex couples before the legalization of same-sex marriage. Tailor the tradition to suit you.

Long-term care insurance isn't like other insurances, it takes a conversation with an expert to help determine if long-term care insurance is a good fit and what options are available. Here are 4 things to know before talking with a long-term care agent.
Someone with a cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease, prolonged physical illness, or a disability, often needs long-term care. Long-term care services may include help with daily activities, home health care, respite care, hospice care, adult day care, care in a nursing home or care in an assisted living facility. Medical insurance doesn't cover the long-term needs that many people face.
Financial planners and other general agents don't always have access to all available options and don't spend a lot of time learning about what new options are optimal for your situation. A Long-Term Care Insurance Specialist can better advise you on what is available for your situation. Long-term care is specific to each individual even if you are married one spouse can be better covered with a company that is different from their spouse. Only a long-term care insurance expert can help you investigate all your options. Be sure to choose a specialist that has access to all of the carriers.
We don't know what healthcare will look like in 10-15 years, make sure your policy has options to pay for certified and non-certified help. When the time comes and you need care you want to be able to choose who comes into your home. Some policies have strict requirements when you need care and others are more flexible.
Many people think they should wait until they retire or are closer to needing care and then consider applying for coverage. But waiting can cost you, not only in the rates but the options that are available to you. Some options or extra add-ons are not offered after certain ages. The best time to apply is when your health is stable and you are within the age range that offers all options.
Be sure to talk to a Long-Term Care Insurance Specialist to discuss all of your options.

Didier Alain Michel Bonnet (* 28. April 1949 in Besançon; † 12. Januar 2011 ebenda) war ein französischer Autorennfahrer und Rennwagenkonstrukteur.

Karriere als Fahrer

Bonnet war ein bekannter und erfolgreicher französischer Bergrennfahrer. Zwischen 1971 und 1983 konnte er an die 100 Bergrennen in der französischen und der europäischen Meisterschaft gewinnen. Als Sportwagenfahrer war sein größter Erfolg der elfte Rang beim 2,5-Stunden-Rennen von Kyalami 1998. Das Rennen zählte zur FIA-Sportwagen-Meisterschaft 1998 und wurde von Jérôme Policand und Gary Formato auf einem Riley & Scott Mk III gewonnen. Bonnet teilte sich das Cockpit eines Debora LMP297 mit Jean-Claude de Castelli und Philippe Favre. Der elfte Rang in der Gesamtwertung war gleichbedeutend mit dem Erfolg in der SR2-Klasse.

Rennwagenkonstrukteur und Teamchef

In der Tradition seines Landsleute Jean Rondeau und Yves Courage begann Bonnet zu Beginn der 1990er-Jahre mit Konstruktion und Bau von Rennsportwagen. Wie bei Rondeau und Courage war das Ziel des eigenen Rennteams die Teilnahme am 24-Stunden-Rennen von Le Mans. Aus Bonnet Auto Racing wurde 1992 Debora. Die Eigenkonstruktionen basierte anfangs auf Tiga-Technik und kamen bis 2000 bei Sportwagenrennen zum Einsatz. Beste Platzierung eines Debora in Le Mans war der 20. Rang von Patrice Roussel, Eduoard Sezionale und Bernard Santal im LMP295 1995.

Iguana Sell Pens | OMAS wants to celebrate its 90th Anniversary!
Today at Iguana Sell we would like to present one of the novelties that will be available next Fall: the new Omas Ogiva Cocktail Limited Edition.
After the great success of the 2014 Vintage Edition, Omas Ogiva Alba, from which its 327 fountain pens and 127 roller of each of its three models (orange, violet and green) sold out in just a couple of months, OMAS has used a similar design for its new collection with three new shades inspired in the three well known cocktails: Blue Angel (blue), Bloody Mary (dark red) and Vodka Lemon (yellow).
One of the common features found in both collections is the use of Cotton resin to produce the body and cap of such writing instruments, giving a semitransparent touch and creating a nice contrast with the rhodium-plated trims and finishes.
On this occasion, the new limited and numbered edition by Omas is made of 327 fountain pens with piston filler for each of its models: Blue Angel -azul-, Bloody Mary -dark red- and Vodka Lemon -yellow-. In addition to this, as it has become a tradition in Omas, you can acquire it with 18 or 14 carat rhodium extra flexible nib.
The new limited edition Omas Ogiva Cocktail is a tribute to the Italian brand itself to celebrate its 90th anniversary, with which they want to show they are celebrating it. Therefore, once again they have chosen to give this new limited edition Ogiva design to Armando Simoni Cavaliere, who became the first iconic design of the brand.
Omas Ogiva Cocktail collection will be available in September, but you can make a reservation at Iguana Sell!
If you want to know more details about the collection or reserve yours, don't hesitate to send us an email, call us at (+34) 91.441.50.41 or come to visit our boutique in Madrid, at Núñez de Balboa 90. We'll be pleased to help.


Today I have a new project on my design wall. The name of the pattern is Strip It: WIND and it will measure 72″ x 78″.
I started this project 4 or 5 weeks ago and completed the first step. Now it is time to get busy and finish this quilt top since one of my goals this year is to not add to my UFO list.
This quilt is made with Centennial Solids which is not my regular style, but I really like the colors. It is a good thing to make something unexpected once in a while. However, when this is done it is back to star quilts.
The Pretty in Everything BUT Pink quilt is finished – sleeve, binding and all.
This is the 16th finish for this year which was my year goal. I wonder what my final count for 2015 will be.
I like to keep a couple of baby quilts around in case I need one in a hurry. This one will be perfect for a baby boy.
Check out Judy's Design Wall Monday for more quilting goodies.
