I was Head of the Arts faculty at a Quaker Independent school called Sidcot for 35 years, and have recently retired. I have been involved in encouraging the use of digital technology from the days of word processing the school magazine on a BBC, through one mb floppy disk booting Amiga's, to the present age of smartphones, mobile and cloud technology.
Much of the computer work that was been done in my department in the past was restricted to small groups or individuals who have a particular interest in using computers, or to supporting our teaching with slide shows, internet access. CDroms, scanning, administration, etc. but in the recent years I became increasingly interested in using computers with whole groups of students at all ages, and encouraging students to work in groups. There is a great power in digital photography, digital video, animation, and internet based collaboration. I had trouble getting students out of the doors at the end of lessons! The challenge is to encourage artistic merit without quashing the enthusiasm. Most recently, in these days of mobile technology, is to encourage students to use their own devices.
I was involved in a project initiated by Hewlett Packard who donated some excellent HP kit to the department. This pan European project called @rtexchange, looked at the possibilities of sharing creative work and encouraging artistic collaboration using the internet. This project involved the organisation of several conference in various European countries, France, Sardinia, Galway as well as the UK. Over the year I have given many seminars, starting with one at the Watershed in Bristol on the theme of digital art in the classroom. Following this I did a series of workshops for the 'Excellence in Cities' initiative, working with groups of teachers and students from Bristol schools. Subsequently I have organised and run workshops in London, Bristol and Newcastle, participated in 'Creating Spaces'; the Arts Council research project on the use of digital media in schools and I have presented for both Apple and Adobe at the annual Bett show as well as giving seminars on the @rt exchange project and on my own practice. Long ago I created an interactive CD rom on introducing digital technology to the art department. I was short-listed twice for a Becta practice award, reaching the final six in the collaboration category for the Art Exchange work, but it was perhaps more appropriate that two of my students managed to come first and runner up in the still image category of the students competition. On the back of this success I did three workshops for Becta, and was asked to be a judge for the student competition.
I am an Apple Distinguished Educator and an Adobe Education Leader.
I have recently completed an MA in Interactive Media at the University of the West of England.
From now on, who knows? But I am currently doing a lot of online teacher teaching of Adobe software and technology.

All photos edited with my Adobe Lightroom presets.
Starting off 2019 with a new destination to explore and a new camera to capture my travel adventures on. Visiting Chile was the perfect opportunity to try out my new Powershot SX740 HS camera as part of a paid partnership with Canon UK. I'd heard so many great things about Santiago, and after a non-stop 14.5 hour flight from London, I was ready to see what the South American city had to offer.
My 4-night layover was the perfect balance of sightseeing, exploring and adventure. I've outlined my favourite things to eat, see and do in this guide.
This market is the locals haven for fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. Wander around the stalls and check out the fishermen's impressive catch of the day before nestling in to one of the restaurants housed inside the market. The fish is taken from the stands and cooked then served up in these restaurants – it really doesn't get much fresher than this. We dined on calamari, ceviche and dorado. Naturally it was all washed down with a couple of Pisco sours.
Time to burn off lunch with a city hike up the Cerro San Cristobal.
There are numerous hike options (and also a funicular for those wanting a more gentle journey up the hill). We opted for the 1.3km hike which is the shortest and most direct, however it is the steepest. Not for the fainthearted, especially after a heavy lunch. However, it's most definitely worth it for the views.
My group weren't ready to slow down either, so it was a real "shoot on the go" as we hiked. I was so impressed with the quality of the images, especially when using the 40x zoom to capture the city below as we ascended higher up the mountain.
When you reach the top of the hill check out the spectacular San Cristobal statue on the mountain top looking over Santiago. It sits on a hilltop 300 metres above Santiago and makes for a stunning viewpoint over the city.
After returning to flat land, go have a well-earned drink in Bella Vista, the colourful and trendy neighbourhood that lies at the bottom of the hill.
There are numerous bars and restaurants to choose from. Patio Bella Vista is a great place to start with an abundance of bars all in one courtyard. For dinner check out Chipe Libre, and if you're into seafood make sure to try out the grilled octopus and potatoes.
Having been a culture vulture in Santiago it was time to get out of the city and go on an adventure. We hired a convoy of 4X4s and set off on a three-hour drive into the mountains. Embalse El Yeso was the destination of choice.
Winding on mountain roads with the Andes acting as a stunning backdrop the journey was utterly breathtaking. After a slightly treacherous journey we finally arrived at the stunning aqua glacier lake in Embalse El Yeso.
The group divided and did three different hikes up the mountains. There are no actual formed paths here, but whichever route you take the views are guaranteed to be spectacular.
This was the perfect opportunity to try out my new camera in action again. The picture quality is second to none with its 20.3 megapixels and the new PowerShot SX740 HS makes it easy to capture images on the go with its incredible point shoot PowerShot lens.
The 40x optical zoom was also successfully trialled as I managed to capture half of our crew who had made much speedier progress up the mountain. They made it to 1000feet above us.
One of my favourite features is the integrated lens cover. Having lost all my lens caps on previous cameras this is a priceless feature to me. It's convenient for on the go shooting and being able to seamlessly turn off the camera and continue on an adventure. The Wi-Fi and auto transfer on the camera is also super handy, as I was able to transfer the images to my phone and edit them on journey back to Santiago. This really is the perfect pocket-size compact camera for travel, the flip lens also makes it a perfect vlogging camera and I can't wait to bring it on a future trip with me.
What a wonderful few days in Chile packed with action, adventure and exploration. I feel like I barely even scratched the surface of what this country has to offer so I'll definitely be returning for more.


The Major League Baseball is the major sport in the United States and it attracts a lot of interests in the sports betting arena as well. We are certainly witnessing an ever increasing number of people getting interested in betting and as such the betting industry is as well increasing in the numbers that they are and even providing online betting sites.
History has betting as an old and all-time practice and habit of man. The betting game basically involve the bettors in a selection of the games and make your predictions on which you will place your wager on for the outcomes expected. The betting on the games and sporting events will be done through the agents who are known in the profession as bookies. Online sports betting is one which is assuming much traction nowadays though it is not legally accepted across the board. In a number of cases these operators are in operation away from the possible reach of the government and thus are considerably unfettered in the operations by the government authorities. These are the companies behind the free huge sports betting events like for the Major League Baseball.
One often assumed position is that you will be able to simply place a bet and having so waged according to the judgments of yours sit back and expect the millions to come. You need to put in a little more than that as a matter of fact. As a beginner in the betting scene, it is indeed important that you learn a few tips here and there so as to improve your skills and ability to get the deals right especially with the online bets. The tips which the player should have in hand are such as the tips on the types of bets, the alternative bets provided by the bookies, betting forums where they can assuredly get the opinion from the experts on the various sporting events, free online betting systems for the leagues like the NFL and MLB, the different sports picks as published by the different reviews , et cetera.
The only thing that remains important which we need to have in mind is that one is always setting out with a winning mindset. Take away the habit of winning your bets purely based on chance and flukes but have a surety with your bets by following the strategies by the online betting systems.

September is BC Disability Employment Month – Is Your Business Aware of Government Efforts to Create a More Inclusive, Diverse, and Accessible Workforce?
employment and labour relationsgovernment relations litigation

Increasing accessibility and decreasing barriers in the workplace for people with disabilities is an important issue in employment law. The government of British Columbia has implemented Accessibility 2024, an extensive public program designed to make BC the most progressive jurisdiction in Canada for people with disabilities by 2024.1
Canadian Employment Law: Current Accessibility Legislation
Unlike the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom — all of which have some form of disability act that provides clear and consolidated standards for addressing discrimination against persons with disabilities — Canada employs a regulatory patchwork.
BC workers who have a disability are currently afforded protections under the Canadian Human Rights Act, 1986, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 1982, the B.C. Human Rights Code, 1996¸ and the Employment Equity Act, 1986. There is also a common law duty for employers to accommodate their employees with disabilities to the point of undue hardship.
Recently, the federal government has commenced a consultation regarding Canadian accessibility legislation. The public consultation is currently taking place and will remain open until February 2017.2 At this time, there is little information regarding the form and effect of the legislation. However, the federal government is looking for ideas regarding the overall approach to the legislation, the scope of the legislation, what accessibility issues the law should address, how the law should be monitored and enforced, and how to raise accessibility awareness more generally and support organizations in improving accessibility.
Accessibility 2024: Is BC Going to Be the Most Accessible Province?
With "inclusive government" being one of the 12 building blocks of Accessibility 2024, the BC government supports the federal initiative and is committed to incorporating a "made-in-B.C. approach" to accessibility legislation. The other building blocks are as follows: employment, income support, financial security, accessible service delivery, accessible internet, accessible built environment, accessible housing, accessible transportation, inclusive communities, emergency preparedness, and consumer experience. Each building block encompasses goals and commitments, which are gradually making the province more accessible.
The primary goal of the employment building block is for BC to have the highest labour participation rate in Canada for persons with disabilities by 2024. So far, the province has invested in creating training and mentorship programs that focus on promoting disability awareness and creating career opportunities by connecting students with industry. Furthermore, the Presidents Group, an advisory committee to the government comprised of influential business leaders in BC, is actively working towards creating more effective industry mechanisms and standards that will enable employers to hire more persons with disabilities. The government will be investing $9 million over the next three years into the Technology@Work Program operated by the Neil Squire Society. This program matches people with the assistive technology they require in order to help both the employer and the employee find the best solution to remove barriers and make the workplace more accessible.
The Future: Is Change Likely?
It is unclear whether and to what extent government initiatives will impact employers' legal obligations with respect to persons with disabilities. Despite Accessibility 2024 and the federal consultation being both in their infancy, both initiatives demonstrate a clear intention towards increasing accessibility in the workplace. Accordingly, in addition to understanding current legislative and common law protections afforded to persons with disabilities, employers should keep abreast of ongoing and future government initiatives regarding accessibility to ensure they have adequate and updated diversity policies.

When we try to imagine the future, the idea of widespread personalization often comes to mind. In the future, Siri turns into Her, and the Jetsons' space house has poured George's morning espresso by the time he gets out of his space bed.
We're drawn to the idea not just because it sounds great but because it's believable. Even today, personalization is changing the way we communicate, live, and shop. Our smartphones can learn our names, our smart homes can adjust their temperature based on the time of day, and the espresso thing is only a matter of time.
Why aren't today's leading retail companies personalizing their marketing?
SimpleRelevance analyzed more than 300 Internet retailer companies and discovered that almost all fail to personalize their customers' online experience in any capacity. Only 7% of the 329 companies addressed the recipients of their emails by name.
That's a pretty straightforward approach to marketing personalization, but it has a powerful effect on consumers.
According to a 2013 email marketing study conducted by Experian Marketing Services, personalizing a subject line results in increased email open rates of 26%. For example, just by saying something like "Hey, Sarah, We Thought You Might Like These Jumpsuits" that business can see a powerful lift.
Marketers that delve beyond the subject line and personalize the content of their emails are rewarded even further.
Personalizing an email body has been shown to generate transaction rates 6X higher than their impersonal counterparts.
The retail companies we looked at run the gamut from selling apparel to furniture to consumer electronics. Some 86 are listed in the Internet Retailer Top 500. Yet the study found that just 3% of the companies we studied personalized their product recommendations based on customer gender, the simplest expression of personalization there is.
How many times have you received an email for a service you would simply never, ever use?
A cursory glance at the Promotions tab in your Gmail account may well reveal offers for mani-pedis on top of coupons for laser back-hair removal. In a world that's begun to embrace personalization, companies that refuse to adapt can sound like they're shouting into the void.
Another miss: Almost none of the 329 companies used their customers' product preferences in their emails. In the age of Big Data, when 64% of customers say they're willing to provide personal information in exchange for a truly personalized customer experience, businesses should be taking advantage.
The data is out there, and so are the means to analyze it and to put it into practice.
The study also analyzed what time of day the companies were sending their emails. Everybody checks their email all the time now, as most of us in the business world regrettably know well. In the larger population, men check their email about 8X a day, whereas women check theirs 7X. Crucially, though, 62% of people will only click through an email during one hour of their day.
When exactly that hour occurs is different for everybody, but it means that email sent times are extremely important. Hit the magic hour, and you're in. And yet only 5% of the companies analyzed changed their email send times based on the first time a customer opened an email from that business.
If you think about it, the art of effective personalization is pretty simple. People want you to know their name and what they like, and they want to talk when it's most convenient for them. Get all that right, and you may be well on your way to increasing sales.

If you dating two people date in a movie, it usually goes question this: The couple meets and there are intense and immediate sparks of attraction.
So they go out together, just the two of them, to get to know each other. Then they keep going out together alone — an intense and isolated question — until finally, at a question, dramatic moment in the relationship, they introduce one another to their parents. We meet, we date, and then we involve our community. What an emotionally unhealthy preference Where are the counselors?
But pursuing this kind of reckless, self-contained relationship is inconsistent with the counsel of Scripture. Most datings want to get married someday. How can it be so bad preference almost every teen we know has done it?
Ultimately, the dating with and danger of short-term dating is far greater and more serious than we imagine.

Thus godly dating should be a conscious movement toward marriage. Our hearts are not made dating be put on the question for quick sirius satellite hookup casual intimacy, and the datings confirm that. Wait to date until you can have long-term, marriage-motivated intentions.
When I was sixteen, I remember there being a lurking loneliness in my heart. They were fueled by a desire for satisfaction, significance, and self-glory.
It would have been outright, self-focused rebellion. Godly question is submissive dating.

Emily Jane Brontë (/ˈbrɒnti/, commonly /ˈbrɒnteɪ/;[1] 30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)[2] was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. Emily was the third eldest of the four surviving Brontë siblings, between the youngest Anne and her brother Branwell. She wrote under the pen name Ellis Bell.

4 Wuthering Heights
The three Brontë sisters, in an 1834 painting by their brother Branwell Brontë. From left to right: Anne, Emily and Charlotte. (Branwell used to be between Emily and Charlotte, but subsequently painted himself out.)
Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818 in the village of Thornton, West Riding of Yorkshire, in Northern England, to Maria Branwell and an Irish father, Patrick Brontë.[3] She was the younger sister of Charlotte Brontë and the fifth of six children, though the two oldest girls, Maria and Elizabeth, died in childhood.[4][5] In 1820, shortly after the birth of Emily's younger sister Anne, the family moved eight miles away to Haworth, where Patrick was employed as perpetual curate; here the children developed their literary talents.[6][7]
After the death of their mother on 15 September 1821 from cancer, when Emily was three years old,[8][9] the older sisters Maria, Elizabeth and Charlotte were sent to the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge, where they encountered abuse and privations later described by Charlotte in Jane Eyre. At the age of six on 25 November 1824, Emily joined her sisters at school for a brief period.[10] When a typhoid epidemic swept the school, Maria and Elizabeth caught it. Maria, who may actually have had tuberculosis, was sent home, where she died. Emily was subsequently removed from the school, in June 1825, along with Charlotte and Elizabeth. Elizabeth died soon after their return home.[9]
The three remaining sisters and their brother Patrick Branwell were thereafter educated at home by their father and aunt Elizabeth Branwell, their mother's sister. Their father, an Irish Anglican clergyman, was very strict and during the day he would work in his office while the children were to remain silent in a room together. Despite the lack of formal education, Emily and her siblings had access to a wide range of published material; favourites included Sir Walter Scott, Byron, Shelley, and Blackwood's Magazine.[9][11]
Emily's Gondal poems
In their leisure time the children began to write fiction at home, inspired by a box of toy soldiers Branwell had received as a gift[12] and created a number of fantasy worlds (including 'Angria') which featured in stories they wrote – all "very strange ones" according to Charlotte[13] – and enacted about the imaginary adventures of their toy soldiers along with the Duke of Wellington and his sons, Charles and Arthur Wellesley. Little of Emily's work from this period survives, except for poems spoken by characters.[14][15] When Emily was 13, she and Anne withdrew from participation in the Angria story and began a new one about Gondal, a fictional island whose myths and legends were to preoccupy the two sisters throughout their lives.[9] With the exception of Emily's Gondal poems and Anne's lists of Gondal's characters and place-names, their writings on Gondal were not preserved. Some "diary papers" of Emily's have survived in which she describes current events in Gondal, some of which were written, others enacted with Anne. One dates from 1841, when Emily was twenty-three: another from 1845, when she was twenty-seven.[16]
At seventeen, Emily attended the Roe Head Girls' School,[9] where Charlotte was a teacher but managed to stay only a few months before being overcome by extreme homesickness.[17] She returned home and Anne took her place.[18] At this time, the girls' objective was to obtain sufficient education to open a small school of their own.
Constantin Héger, teacher of Charlotte and Emily during their stay in Brussels, on a daguerreotype dated c. 1865
Emily became a teacher at Law Hill School in Halifax beginning in September 1838, when she was twenty.[19] Her health broke under the stress of the 17-hour work day and she returned home in April 1839.[20] Thereafter she became the stay-at-home daughter, doing most of the cooking, ironing, and cleaning and teaching Sunday school.[21] She taught herself German out of books and also practised piano.[22][23]
In 1842, Emily accompanied Charlotte to the Héger Pensionnat in Brussels, Belgium, where they attended the girls' academy run by Constantin Héger. They planned to perfect their French and German in anticipation of opening their school. Nine of Emily's French essays survive from this period. Héger seems to have been impressed with the strength of Emily's character, and made the following assertion:
She should have been a man – a great navigator. Her powerful reason would have deduced new spheres of discovery from the knowledge of the old; and her strong imperious will would never have been daunted by opposition or difficulty, never have given way but with life. She had a head for logic, and a capability of argument unusual in a man and rarer indeed in a woman... impairing this gift was her stubborn tenacity of will which rendered her obtuse to all reasoning where her own wishes, or her own sense of right, was concerned.[24]
The two sisters were committed to their studies and by the end of the term had attained such competence in French that Madame Héger made a proposal for both to stay another half-year, even offering to dismiss the English master, according to Charlotte, so that she could take his place, while Emily was to teach music.[25][26][27] However, the illness and death of their aunt meant that they returned to Haworth and though they did try to open a school at their home, they were unable to attract students to the remote area.
In 1844, Emily began going through all the poems she had written, recopying them neatly into two notebooks. One was labelled "Gondal Poems"; the other was unlabelled. Scholars such as Fannie Ratchford and Derek Roper have attempted to piece together a Gondal storyline and chronology from these poems.[28][29] In the autumn of 1845, Charlotte discovered the notebooks and insisted that the poems be published. Emily, furious at the invasion of her privacy, at first refused[30][31] but relented when Anne brought out her own manuscripts and revealed she had been writing poems in secret as well.[32]
In 1846, the sisters' poems were published in one volume as Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. The Brontë sisters had adopted pseudonyms for publication, preserving their initials: Charlotte was "Currer Bell", Emily was "Ellis Bell" and Anne was "Acton Bell".[33] Charlotte wrote in the 'Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell' that their "ambiguous choice" was "dictated by a sort of conscientious scruple at assuming Christian names positively masculine, while we did not like to declare ourselves women, because... we had a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice".[34] Charlotte contributed 20 poems, and Emily and Anne each contributed 21. Although the sisters were told several months after publication that only two copies had sold,[35] they were not discouraged (of their two readers, one was impressed enough to request their autographs).[36] The Athenaeum reviewer praised Ellis Bell's work for its music and power, singling out his poems as the best: "Ellis possesses a fine, quaint spirit and an evident power of wing that may reach heights not here attempted",[37] and The Critic reviewer recognised "the presence of more genius than it was supposed this utilitarian age had devoted to the loftier exercises of the intellect."[38]
Personality and character
Emily Brontë remains a mysterious figure and a challenge to biographers because information about her is sparse,[39] due to her solitary and reclusive nature.[40][41] She does not seem to have made any friends outside her family.[42] Her sister Charlotte remains the primary source of information about her, although as Emily's elder sister, writing publicly about her shortly after her death, Charlotte is not a neutral witness.[43] According to Lucasta Miller, in her analysis of Brontë biographies, "Charlotte took on the role of Emily's first mythographer."[44] In the Preface to the Second Edition of Wuthering Heights, in 1850, Charlotte wrote:
My sister's disposition was not naturally gregarious; circumstances favoured and fostered her tendency to seclusion; except to go to church or take a walk on the hills, she rarely crossed the threshold of home. Though her feeling for the people round was benevolent, intercourse with them she never sought; nor, with very few exceptions, ever experienced. And yet she knew them: knew their ways, their language, their family histories; she could hear of them with interest, and talk of them with detail, minute, graphic, and accurate; but WITH them, she rarely exchanged a word.[45][46]
Emily's unsociability and extremely shy nature has subsequently been reported many times.[47][48][49] According to Norma Crandall, her "warm, human aspect" was "usually revealed only in her love of nature and of animals".[50] In a similar description, Literary news (1883) states: "[Emily] loved the solemn moors, she loved all wild, free creatures and things",[51] and critics attest that her love of the moors is manifest in Wuthering Heights.[52] Over the years, Emily's love of nature has been the subject of many anecdotes. A newspaper dated 31 December 1899, gives the folksy account that "with bird and beast [Emily] had the most intimate relations, and from her walks she often came with fledgling or young rabbit in hand, talking softly to it, quite sure, too, that it understood".[53] The following anecdote is also related:
Once she was bitten by a dog that she saw running by in great distress, and to which she offered water. The dog was mad. She said no word to any one, but herself burned the lacerated flesh to the bone with the red hot poker, and no one knew of it until the red scar was accidentally discovered some weeks after, and sympathetic questioning brought out this story.[53]
In Queens of Literature of the Victorian Era (1886), Eva Hope summarises Emily's character as "a peculiar mixture of timidity and Spartan-like courage", and goes on to say, "She was painfully shy, but physically she was brave to a surprising degree. She loved few persons, but those few with a passion of self-sacrificing tenderness and devotion. To other people's failings she was understanding and forgiving, but over herself she kept a continual and most austere watch, never allowing herself to deviate for one instant from what she considered her duty."[54]

Main article: Wuthering Heights
Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was first published in London in 1847, appearing as the first two volumes of a three-volume set that included Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey. The authors were printed as being Ellis and Acton Bell; Emily's real name did not appear until 1850, when it was printed on the title page of an edited commercial edition.[55] The novel's innovative structure somewhat puzzled critics.
Wuthering Heights's violence and passion led the Victorian public and many early reviewers to think that it had been written by a man.[56] According to Juliet Gardiner, "the vivid sexual passion and power of its language and imagery impressed, bewildered and appalled reviewers."[57] Even though it received mixed reviews when it first came out, and was often condemned for its portrayal of amoral passion, the book subsequently became an English literary classic.[58]
Although a letter from her publisher indicates that Emily had begun to write a second novel, the manuscript has never been found. Perhaps Emily, or a member of her family, eventually destroyed the manuscript, if it existed, when she was prevented by illness from completing it. It has also been suggested that, though less likely, the letter could have been intended for Anne Brontë, who was already writing The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, her second novel. In any case, no manuscript of a second novel by Emily has survived.[59]
Emily believed that her health, like her sisters', had been weakened by the harsh local climate and by unsanitary conditions at home,[60] the source of water being contaminated by runoff from the church's graveyard.[61] She caught a severe cold[62][63] during the funeral of her brother Branwell in September 1848 and was soon showing symptoms of tuberculosis. (It should be noted by the modern reader, though many of her contemporaries believed otherwise, "consumption", or tuberculosis does not originate from "catching a cold". Tuberculosis is a communicable disease, transmitted through the inhalation of airborne droplets of mucus or saliva carrying Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and anyone living in close proximity with an infected person would be in an increased risk of contracting it. However, it is also a disease that can remain asymptomatic for long periods of time after initial infection, and developing only later on when the immune system becomes weak.)[64] Though her condition worsened steadily, she rejected medical help and all proffered remedies, saying that she would have "no poisoning doctor" near her.[65][66] On the morning of 19 December 1848, Charlotte, fearing for her sister, wrote this:
She grows daily weaker. The physician's opinion was expressed too obscurely to be of use – he sent some medicine which she would not take. Moments so dark as these I have never known – I pray for God's support to us all.[67]
At noon, Emily was worse; she could only whisper in gasps. With her last audible words she said to Charlotte, "If you will send for a doctor, I will see him now"[68] but it was too late. She died that same day at about two in the afternoon while sitting on the sofa at Haworth Parsonage.[69][70][71] It was less than three months since Branwell's death, which led a housemaid to declare that "Miss Emily died of a broken heart for love of her brother".[70][72] Emily had grown so thin that her coffin measured only 16 inches wide. The carpenter said he had never made a narrower one for an adult.[73][74] She was interred in the Church of St Michael and All Angels family capsule, Haworth, West Yorkshire, England. Emily Brontë never knew the extent of fame she achieved with her one and only novel, Wuthering Heights, as she died a year after its publication, aged 30.

↑ "What actually distinguishes 'No coward soul is mine' as marking a distinctive moment in Emily Brontë's career is not that it was her last poem but that it actually appears to have been the first poem that she wrote after Charlotte Brontë read a manuscript volume of Emily's poetry without Emily's knowledge or permission, an act that Charlotte herself later admitted had profoundly upset her sister. For Charlotte Brontë, the act seemed at least partially justified in hindsight because through it she discovered that her sister was a much more accomplished poet than she had realized. As Charlotte tells the story,her discovery of the remarkably high quality of some of Emily's poetry gave Charlotte the afflatus she had to that point been lacking to enlist both her sisters in publishing a volume of their poems, and soon thereafter they began to establish themselves as professional novelists." — Meredith L.

↑ "Emily's literary success might not have occurred at all if Charlotte had not discovered a notebook containing her poems in the autumn of 1845.

The sisters chose masculine names in the hope that their works would be taken more seriously." — Grace Moore, Wuthering Heights (2012), 'About the author'
↑ "In 1845 Charlotte 'accidentally lighted upon' the manuscripts of Emily's poems, and on reading them was impressed by their power. She confronted her younger sister with her discovery, and admitted that she had been writing poetry too. Emily was nevertheless vexed at having been found out, though she eventually was persuaded to submit her work for publication. In the meantime, Anne quietly brought her own poetry manuscripts out of hiding." — Wuthering Heights (1989), p. vi (ISBN 978-0812505160)

↑ Cf. Charlotte Brontë's "Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell", in Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey: In Two Volumes, Vol. I (1951), p. xiii: "In Emily's nature the extremes of vigour and simplicity seemed to meet. Under an unsophisticated culture, inartificial tastes, and an unpretending outside, lay a secret power and fire that might have informed the brain and kindled the veins of a hero; but she had no worldly wisdom; her powers were unadapted to the practical business of life; she would fail to defend her most manifest rights, to consult her most legitimate advantage. An interpreter ought always to have stood between her and the world. Her will was not very flexible, and it generally opposed her interest. Her temper was magnanimous, but warm and sudden; her spirit altogether unbending."
↑ "Emily Brontë is altogether an enigma. We perceive a power about her which could not find reasonable vent or utterance, so shut in was it by her repulsive and unsocial qualities. The intense love of life is as strange a feature as any." — The Living Age (1857), Volume 55, p. 409

Death took her as she tried to rise from the sofa and break from her sisters' arms that would have laid her there.

Artillery: Big Expensive Rockets Aimed At Iran
November 19, 2010: Persian Gulf state Bahrain is buying 30 M140 ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) artillery rockets from the United States. The UAE (United Arab Emirates), to the south, is buying 100 ATACMS rockets as well.
The UAE and Bahrain earlier purchased the M270 MLRS rocket launchers, which the ATACMS is launched from. Both countries are getting the ATACMS equipped with a 227 kg (500 pound) high explosive warhead. The U.S. used over 700 ATACMS in Iraq. These rockets use GPS guidance to hit targets up to 300 kilometers away. Sort of like the popular 500 pound JDAM smart bomb used by the air force, but not requiring an aircraft to deliver it.
When the U.S. Army first introduced its long range ATACMS rocket 24 years ago, it designed fancy warheads that distributed lots of smaller bomblets. While these worked, there was always a problem with some of the bomblets not self-destructing, and later going off when civilians, or American troops, came along. Not a popular weapon. Then, when a version, with GPS guidance and a single, 500 pound high explosive (or "unitary") warhead was introduced, it proved very popular. These rockets cost about a million dollars each. A 500 pound JDAM costs about $28,000, although you can add a few thousand dollars more to cover the expense of operating the jet bomber that delivered it.
The ATACMS is a 610mm rocket that fits in the same size container that normally holds six 227mm MLRS rockets. Although the army usually has enough air force bombers up there, carrying JDAMS, there are still times when a smart bomb is needed, and it's quicker to send an ATACMS, than to wait for the JDAM carrying bomber to arrive. ATACMS can also get through in situations where there are anti-aircraft defenses over the target area, keeping bombers away.
The primary military threat to Bahrain and UAE is Iran, but Bahrain and the UAE can only hit a small part of Iran with ATACMS. So the 130 ATACMS rockets are either for hitting Iranian forces that land on the western shore of the Persian Gulf, or at other neighbors who might, for some reason, attack. Saudi Arabia has sometimes had tense relations with its two smaller neighbors, but Iran is a much more likely, and hostile, neighbor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The NCAA Division I Women's Rowing Committee has selected the teams that will compete in the 2004 NCAA Division I Women's Rowing Championships and the USC Varsity Eight boat will be making its sixth-consecutive appearance in the individual event.
The championships will be held May 28-30 at CSUS Aquatic Center in Sacramento, California. California State University, Sacramento, will serve as host. The team championship is comprised of 12 teams and each team is required to field two boats of eight rowers and one boat of four rowers. In addition, four eight-women boats from institutions not represented in the team competition are selected.
The selection of teams and individual boats was based on eligibility and availability of student-athletes; regional championship results; regional rankings; late-season performance; head-to-head results; results against teams/boats already selected; results against common opponents; and results against regionally ranked teams/boats. One team from each region was selected and the remaining seven teams were selected at-large.
Last season, USC's Varsity Eight boat placed sixth overall, marking the Women of Troy's second-ever appearance in the Grand Final. The Trojans also advanced to the final race in 2001 and earned a program-best fourth-place finish that year. Harvard captured the 2003 Varsity Eight title.

Project EverGreen's Detroit project makes headway
November 21, 2017 - By LM Staff

Project EverGreen, in collaboration with local business partners, community groups and the city of Detroit, began transforming Detroit's Pingree Park by planting trees, improving grass play areas and painting backdrops.
"This is the boost we needed to help return Pingree to its former glory. Our kids and grandkids grew up here. I'm just so happy," said Minnie Knox, a 50-year resident of the neighborhood.
The renewal of the 18-acre park began Nov. 3-4 with about 200 volunteers taking part in the project.
"We're passionate about our community and in keeping our neighborhoods healthy and beautiful, and we know how lucky we are to make a living in the landscape industry," said Matt Scott, director of operations for Troy Clogg Landscape Associates, the lead contractor for the project. "It was great to see local residents, businesses and community groups working side by side with Project EverGreen and our team. It was very rewarding."
More than just an aesthetic makeover, the project represents the revival of a community hub that serves as a gathering area for generations of east side Detroit residents and new families moving into the Pingree Park neighborhood, according to Project EverGreen.
The renovation is also meant to spark nearby development and provide increased safety for kids playing on the grass sports fields, Project EverGreen said.
"Pingree Park and its neighbors are the real winners," said Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. "The improved space generates enough oxygen for nearly 15,000 people per day, and the living, breathing park functions as the lungs of the surrounding neighborhood."
Plans for the second phase of the project call for creating new walking paths, building a grass amphitheater and planting new trees on East Forest Avenue. These updates are scheduled to take place in the spring of 2018.
Presenting sponsors include Magna International, which contributed $100,000 to the project, and Lear Corporation.

Declaring President Obama and other world leaders must no longer tolerate the ongoing slaughter of Christians by ISIS, a prominent media figure is calling for at least 1 million Americans to peacefully march on Washington, D.C., and demand action.
In a Facebook post, Fox News host Greta Van Susteren recalled that many in her parents' generation said they were unaware of the mass execution of Jews during World War II.
ISIS released a video Sunday purportedly showing a mass execution of Ethiopians in Libya. The video was similar to one released in February showing ISIS beheading 21 captured Egyptian Christians on a Libyan beach.
ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, has declared the formation of an Islamic caliphate governed by Shariah with sovereignty over portions of Iraq, Syria, Libya and Nigeria.
President Obama has determined that no U.S. ground troops will be deployed to fight ISIS while a U.S.-led coalition carries out airstrikes. ISIS recently took control of areas near Ramadi, Iraq, the capital of Anbar Province, just 70 miles west of Baghdad. The advance has forced thousands of civilians to flee to Baghdad.
"Like you, I don't want to see one more Christian executed for his or her faith," Van Susteren wrote.
Van Susteren said the only way to get the attention of world leaders is to make a big statement by massive numbers of people marching on Washington and other nations' capitals.
Her Facebook post has received more than 28,000 "likes" and has been forwarded more than 18,000 times.

A large C1 will slow the response time, the sum of Ri + Rf should be greater than 5k so that output is not loaded. also do not connect output to voltages more than vcc/vdd it will blow Opamp.


Is it okay to sell/giveaway cracked accounts? Or will i get banned for doing that?
I highly suggest you read the rules man!

ABA Urges Congress to Continue Funding for CDFIs
on	 June 23, 2017 Community Banking, Newsbytes, Policy
ABA today wrote to the heads of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees urging Congress to continue its support for the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. The association requested that lawmakers provide funding at the FY2017 level of $250 million and reserve $35 million of that funding for the Bank Enterprise Awards Program.
"Creating jobs and revitalizing the economies of disenfranchised rural communities and neglected cities is a top priority for CDFIs," ABA said. "Community based financial institutions are uniquely positioned to understand local credit needs, which is why there is historic bipartisan support for the CDFI Fund and the BEA Program."
The association pointed out that since it was founded 1994, hundreds of banks have participated in CDFI Fund programs, and billions of dollars in new investments benefitting difficult-to-serve communities have been made with funds from the BEA Program.

Poll: Americans split on Trump's handling of Harvey relief
Sep 6th 2017 1:00PM
In the wake of Harvey's devastating impact on Texas, a new poll reveals more voters think President Trump is doing enough to help Texas and Louisiana recover from Hurricane Harvey than those who don't.
According to the latest POLITICO/Morning Consult Poll, 43 percent of voters say Trump is doing enough to lead the relief efforts after the destructive storm, compared to 40 percent who say Trump isn't doing enough. Seventeen percent also had no opinion.
In the aftermath of the hurricane, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited Texas twice last week -- meeting once with Gov. Greg Abbott and then with victims.

Trump went to both Houston and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Voters don't just approve of Trump's response, but also that of government agencies.
FEMA got a 56 percent approval rating from poll respondents, while 73 percent of thse surveyed say non-profits like the American Red Cross are doing enough.
While Congress at the time only received a 29 percent approval rating, the U.S. House of Representatives did pass on Wednesday a bill including $8 billion in initial aid and rebuilding relief after the hurricane.
The approval rating hits presidents are seemingly bound to take in the face of natural disasters was evidenced with both Barack Obama and George W. Bush during their White House tenures.
For Bush 43, it was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After the Category 3 storm left a reported 1,833 dead and over 200,000 homes damaged along the Gulf Coast, Bush's approval rating dropped to 43.9 percent -- with the American public largely disapproving of the White House's handling of the crippling disaster.

With 19 acres of green space in the middle of downtown Birmingham, including nine acres of open lawn and more than 600 trees, Railroad Park has transformed the north edge of UAB's campus into a thriving hub of activity. Join UAB Sustainability and Facilities, along with the Department of Biology's Environmental Science class, for a morning of service at Railroad Park! Participants will pick up microtrash, work in the landscape, pull invasive species from the ponds, and more.
Dress for the weather and landscape work, including hat, sunscreen, and close-toed shoes. Waders will be provided for pond work. Please bring your own water bottle! Meet at the 17th Street Plaza at Railroad Park.


Thousands of concerned families, health professionals, business leaders, tribal members and elected officials have helped along the way. Together, we spent countless hours in community meetings and public hearings, submitting an unprecedented number of comments during the project's scoping period. We made connections across diverse groups — often gathering together for the first time — with a shared vision for the future of our county.
Together, we galvanized a community force that showed it would not back down from the powerful demands of the fossil fuel industry. Right now, that force is inspiring those around the nation who are fighting battles in their own communities. And that force — the one we built — is ours to keep. We will continue to use the knowledge, strategy and connections we worked so hard to build because frankly, we will need them.
There are more proposals on the horizon, headed straight for Whatcom County. With the recent lifting of the federal ban on crude oil exports, Cherry Point has been identified as a key off-ramp for not just coal, but explosive crude oil and liquefied natural gas. And what many people don't know is that current Comprehensive Plan and development regulations allow these kind of dirty, polluting industries at Cherry Point. The County Council needs to hear that we don't want business as usual for the next 20 years and the Comprehensive Plan needs to strive for a more sustainable future at Cherry Point.
Just imagine, if we get the Comprehensive Plan right, our community can refocus our energy and resources away from the fuels and industries of the past and look toward the future. We can use that force we've built to create the future we want to see: streams full of salmon because the water they live in is clean and plentiful; no toxins in our stormwater so the Salish Sea can support herring, salmon and orca; clean, locally-produced energy; a thriving economy with industries that don't leave messes for our grandchildren to clean up; burgeoning local agriculture and a prosperous fish and shellfish industry that provides food for our region; healthy schools where our children learn wise stewardship; engaged citizens, and local government care-taking the ecosystems that support our existence.
I am hopeful and excited to create this vision together. And I'm equally excited to celebrate this big step in the right direction. Please join RE Sources for a community gathering from 6-9 p.m. on Friday, June 10, at the Fairhaven Village Green, where we will celebrate this historic win together with community members and friends from across Whatcom County.

"Does that say 'Girls Night?!'"an excited Lena Dunham cheered, reading a guest's shirt at last night's season premiere of Girls at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, before turning to wish Tavi Gevinson a "mazal tov" upon the completion of her Broadway run of This Is Our Youth. It was a lively night at the museum, as the girls and guys of Girls celebrated Season 4 with guests including Karlie Kloss, Sophia Bush, Kirstie Alley, Kathy Griffin, Nicky Hilton, Cynthia Rowley, Tracy Anderson, Gevinson, and Broad City's Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer―most of whom were also in attendance of the full-on fete hosted in the museum's famous whale room following the screening. Walking arm in arm with Lena Dunham, executive producer Jenni Konner paused on the red carpet to talk red carpet reform. "This is Valentino," she said of her chic red jumpsuit. "And I'm very proud to say I wore this to the Golden Globes last year. I'm trying to start a movement called recyclista, and I want people on the red carpet to re-wear things but accessorize differently and do their hair differently." Konner went on: "Ava Gardner used to buy a dress and wear it ten different ways. Two of the coolest ladies, Kate Middleton and Michelle Obama, do it all the time. It's an insane idea that you have to wear something new to every single event." The cast makes it clear that this season is one of growing pains. "She's becoming a more relatable human being. She's not like a prototype anymore," Jemima Kirke told Bazaar of her character Jessa this season. And she's not the only one: "Ray this season has found―and this manifests in the middle of the season―a more constructive and healthy way to express his grievances about his surroundings," Alex Karpovsky said of our favorite curmudgeon. "I dig it."
