Losses likely to bring changes for city liquor store
December 13, 2017 hhnews207 News 0
The future of Tracy's off-sale liquor store is up in the air. The city could choose to move it from its current location to Hwy. 14 or sell a liquor license to a private business.
By Seth Schmidt
Changes are on the horizon for the Tracy Municipal Liquor Store.
Mayor Steve Ferrazzano told council members Monday that the city must either move its off-sale liquor store to a Hwy. 14 location, or get out of the liquor business and sell a liquor license to a private business.
"What we are doing now is not working," the mayor said.
The city's municipal bar on South Street was closed Oct. 1 last year because the on-sale operation was losing money. The city's off-sale liquor store has remained open, but financial statements show the off-sale store operation has lost more than $31,000 through the first nine months of 2017.
The city's liquor store committee is scheduled to meet Jan. 3, with hopes of having a recommendation for the full council to consider by Jan. 8.
Ferrazzano feels the city has only two options: 1) Move the municipal store to Hwy. 14 and invest money into a remodeled facility; 2) Sell an off-sale liquor license to a private party, with the city exiting liquor store operations.
A memo from Interim City Administrator Shane Daniels lists the former Mediterranean Club building as the preferred site for a city-owned liquor store on Hwy. 14. Under one scenario, Tom Morin, the owner of the building and the adjacent Tracy Subway, would be hired to manage the liquor store. Another option would be to lease the remodeled space and have the city continue its current management model.
If the city decides to get out of the liquor store retailing business, private offers could be solicited for the sale of an off-sale liquor license. The city's current off-sale liquor license is priced at $1,950, but could be increased. Currently, the Tracy municipal store is the only place in town that is permitted to sell retail beer, spirits and wines.
City leaders are questioning whether the income from the liquor license fee and real estate taxes paid by a private liquor store would be more beneficial to the city compared with continuing the municipal operation.

a Sublime Text Package
Sublime Text 2 version: https://github.com/noahcoad/google-spell-check/tree/st2
Package Control Info: https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/Google%20Spell%20Check
Use Google magic to fix spelling. Replaces the selected text with Google's spelling correction. Google has a far better spell checker than most tools.
Watch this quick 1:30 min video showing it in action.
This does not replace the built-in spell checker, offer a list of suggestions, or adds words to the built-in dictionary. Instead it replaces the selected text with the Google search page's recommended spelling. It's like magic. Outright uncanny how accurate Google can be. Text isn't affected if Google thinks you've got it right.
There are several problems with most typical spell checkers:
Lack of Frequency, most use grammatical syntax 'sounds like' numeric lookup tables, but don't know how frequent a misspelling is, google sees misspellings all the time so they have a much better idea of what you're after
No Help w Names, company names like flikr tumblr or say I'm talking about scifi author jon scalzi most would say Jon and no idea on scalzi because they look one word at a time, google search considers the whole phrase and popular names together to correct to john sculzi
Limited Dictionary, most use somewhat limited dictionaries, whereas google has the world of words available to it, like hackathons, scifi, craigslist
Lack of Context, most only check the word itself, not taking into consideration the context you're using the word or phrase in
Just Suck, like Sublime's spell checker has no idea what do to with: avalible, finanicals, maitenence
BTW, this uses a standard Google search page results instead of the Google API. This is nice in that an API key isn't required, but isn't 100% officially supported, so Google changing their URL schema could break the plugin.
any of these… * Get through the awesome Sublime Package Control as Google Spell Check (pending approval from wbond) * Download and unpack into your sublime packages folder a version for: Sublime Text 2 or Sublime Text 3 * Git clone into your sublime packages folder
Sublime Text 2: git clone --branch st2 https://github.com/noahcoad/google-spell-check.git
Select some text in the editor or put cursor under a word to check
Run the google_spell_correct command
via hotkey ctrl+alt+g
via right-click context menu > Google Spell Check
via Command Pallet, ctrl+shift+p (command+shift+p in OSX) > Google Spell Check
be patient, may take a second for google to return a result
If nothing changes, google probably thinks your spelling is okay, or has no idea what you're talking about. Try selecting some more words to give google context.
Update Notices
2013-10-14, Sublime Text 3 version added. Updates going forward will only be made to the Sublime Text 3 version of the package.

Alice é a personagem principal do filme de 1951 da Walt Disney Pictures, Alice no País das Maravilhas e do livro que o filme foi adaptado. A voz e a referência para os animadores da personagem do filme foi feita por Kathryn Beaumont, que também fez a voz na atração auto-intitulada na Disneylândia, bem como em outros meios de comunicação que envolvem a Disney, incluindo a série de TV, O Point do Mickey e o primeiro jogo de vídeo game da série Kingdom Hearts.

Desenvolvimento
A primeira aparição da atriz Kathryn Beaumont foi no filme It Happened One Sunday, quando tinha 10 anos. Ela ouviu falar dos testes para um filme que seria adaptado do famoso livro de Lewis Carroll, então começou a ler o livro e foi para uma audição, aonde diversas meninas participavam. Ela foi chamada novamente, e acabou sendo escolhida pelo próprio Walt Disney. Ela serviu de base para o rosto da personagem durante seu desenvolvimento. Sua forma de andar também foi usada pela produção do filme. Ela trabalhou junto com Walt na produção do filme. Ela também foi a voz da personagem por muitos anos.

Aparência
Alice é uma menina linda de 12 anos anos. Ela nasceu em um status mais elevado, sua pele é clara, pois as pessoas nas classes mais altas nesse período de tempo, muitas vezes eram assim. Alice também tem longos cabelos grossos loiros, na altura dos ombros e grandes olhos azuis. Sua figura é fina, mas de uma forma de ampulheta, apesar de ser apenas uma criança. A explicação mais provável é que ela começou a usar corsets, como ela é considerada quase um adulto no período de tempo em que o filme se passa, se não, então é só o estilo que ela foi desenhada ou uma ilusão dado por seu vestido. A roupa de Alice é uma luz vestido na altura do joelho, de cor azul, com um avental branco em cima. Debaixo de seu vestido, ela usa um espartilho, anágua branca, meias brancas, sapatos pretos no estilo Mary Jane e um laço preto no cabelo. Seu vestido virou a marca da personagem sendo utilizado desta forma em todos os meios, mesmo os que não são da Disney.

Personalidade
Alice é retratada como uma sonhadora em primeiro lugar. Antes de chegar no País das Maravilhas, ela sentou-se em um banco, para escutar uma história contada por sua irmã, que ela não gostava, pois o livro que sua irmã estava lendo, não tinha fotos, e afirmou: "No meu mundo, os livros não seria nada, só fotos! " Isto dá uma idéia da grande imaginação de Alice. E a princípio, o País das Maravilhas parecia o lugar perfeito para Alice, pois lhe permitiu entrar em suas fantasias, assim como em sua intensa curiosidade. No entanto, o temperamento de Alice acaba se tornando uma pedante ânsia de mostrar o seu conhecimento, muitas vezes provou ter más qualidades no País das Maravilhas, e pousou-a em muitas situações precárias. Ainda assim, ela é vista como educada, honesta, adorável e respeitosa, além de ser um pouco sábia, embora só seja uma criança.

Aparições

Alice no País das Maravilhas

Alice está sentada em uma árvore com seu gato Dinah ouvindo uma lição de história de sua irmã mais velha, que repetidamente lembra Alice para parar de sonhar acordada e prestar atenção. Alice foge com Dinah, saindo sobre "um mundo próprio". Perto de um riacho, ela vê um coelho branco com um relógio de bolso enorme falando interminavelmente sobre o quanto ele esta atrasado. Cheia de curiosidade para saber o lugar aonde o coelho iria, Alice atras do Coelho Branco, implorando que ele espere. Ela segue o coelho em um buraco pequeno, onde o chão cede e ela cai sobre um buraco sem fim preto. Seu vestido acaba sendo usado como um pára-quedas e depois de flutuar sobre diversos objetos domésticos, como cadeiras e imagens no ar no buraco, ela pousa com segurança na parte inferior. Ela continua sua busca do coelho indo parar em um quarto, com portas em todos os lados. Menos uma porta em particular, é uma maçaneta alegre colocado sobre uma porta pequena demais para ela. No assessoria da maçaneta, Alice come e bebe vários comestíveis mágicos para buscar uma chave para a porta e se tornar do tamanho adequado para entrar, mas acaba crescendo muito grande para o quarto. Prejudicada de se tornar tão gigantesca, a jovem começa a chorar em grandes gotas de água que transformam a sala em um lago. Alice consegue encolher-se mais uma vez antes que ela é lavada com segurança através do buraco da fechadura e entra no Páis das Maravilhas.

Uma vez na praia, ela conhece Dodô, que está com alguns amigos. O Coelho Branco aparece indo para a floresta. Alice segue, mas está atrasada por causa do aparecimento de Tweedle Dee e Tweedle Dum. Os dois companheiros cômicos entretê-la com a história de A Morsa e o Carpinteiro até que Alice percebe que está perdendo tempo. Se despedindo dos dois, Alice finalmente tropeça na casa do Coelho Branco, olhando rosto no rosto para ele, mas seus erros são consertados por sua empregada doméstica Marianne. Ele pede a ela para recuperar as luvas da casa. Enquanto no andar superior, Alice inocentemente come um cookie de um frasco sobre a mesa, mas cresce de tamanho gigante, mais uma vez, com os braços e pernas atirando para fora das portas e janelas da casa. Vendo o que aconteceu, o Coelho Branco pede a ajuda de Dodô, que resolve incendiar a casa e "fumar o monstro para fora". No jardim, Alice come uma das cenouras do coelho e encolhe para baixo para o tamanho de um inseto. Alice então é capaz de sair da casa e retomar sua busca pelo Coelho Branco, que tem percebido o quão tarde é.

Depois de perder o coelho uma segunda vez, ela canta com as flores falantes. No entanto, quando ela não consegue responder as perguntas sobre quem ela ela é, elas rotulam a garota como uma "erva daninha" e rudemente derrubam ela do jardim. Depois, ela encontra uma esnobe lagarta que lhe mostra um cogumelo que pode aumentar ou diminuir. Alice quebra duas peças do cogumelo e descobre que uma mordida faz ela voltar ao tamanho normal. Ela coloca os dois pedaços nos bolsos do avental e retoma sua jornada através da floresta. Alice então encontra o pernicioso e perpetuamente-sorridente Mestre Gato, empoleirado em uma árvore. Depois de uma conversa com ele, o gato sugere para ela visitar o Chapeleiro Maluco e a Lebre Maluca. O gato desaparece no ar e, embora ela não queira se deparar com pessoas loucas, Alice faz uma visita. Os dois estão em uma enorme mesa cheia de bules e chaleiras, tomando chá, e celebram um dos seus 364 aniversários. Alice e os dois tornam-se amigos até que eles parecem ser ainda mais loucos do que eles aparecem. Depois de várias tentativas falhadas de uma conversa civilizada, Alice fica farta de sua loucura.

Enquanto ela continua em seu caminho ela percebe que chegou a uma parte desconhecida da floresta. Aqui ela encontra uma infinidade de animais peculiares, que desviam sua atenção ainda mais para o desconhecido. Alice é resignada a começa a acreditar que ela pode nunca mais ver sua casa novamente e soluça em perigo. Enquanto ela chora, o Mestre Gato aparece em uma árvore próxima, para seu deleite total. O gato dirige-a para uma passagem secreta para um labirinto de torção em torno de um castelo. Alice entra no labirinto e encontra um jardim no palácio com rosas brancas. Ela fica confusa quando encontra um trio de alegres Cartas armadas com pincéis de pintura e rosas vermelhas. Os cartões explicam a ela como eles plantaram as rosas brancas por engano e que eles estão tentando corrigir-se, pois a pena é de perder a cabeça. Alice dá uma mão de bom grado, mas são interrompidos com a chegada da Rainha de Copas, o rei diminutivo, e uma comitiva de soldados cartão armados com lança. Em pânico, os três trabalhadores tentam transferir a culpa um para o outro, mas a Rainha beligerante os envia para serem executados.

Alice tenta apelar por eles, mas a Rainha não acredita em Alice e chama ela para um jogo. Embora ela tenha jogado antes, Alice está surpresa por que as marretas e bolas são flamingos e roedores respectivamente. O jogo inteiro opera sob a constante ameaça da rainha de decapitação. Os soldados do cartão, servindo como os suportes, têm o cuidado de colocar-se na frente de a bola rolar, e os flamingos e esquilos não ousam perturbar ela. Alice não tem tanta sorte com seu próprio flamingo, que faz cócegas, constrange, e luta como uma menina. O Mestre Gato aparece dentro e fora do jogo, mas apenas para Alice. A Rainha então rapidamente se irritou por repetidas declarações de Alice que o gato está lá. Quando o gato tem um truque na rainha, ela ansiosamente ordena a execução de Alice, mas o rei consegue ganhar o seu julgamento. O julgamento de Alice é um processo complicado e absurdo, cheio de audiências irrelevantes da Lebre Maluca e do Chapeleiro Louco e prova imaginária contra Alice. Quando o Mestre Gato faz uma orquestra, outro truque contra a rainha, Alice recebe a culpa novamente. Alice engole as peças do cogumelo em seu avental e atira em direção ao teto para torre sobre o tribunal. Os soldados não querem deixar com que Alice saia do tribunal, apesar de a regra #42 afirmar que as pessoas com mais de uma milha de altura não poderem estar presentes. Alice chama a rainha de "gorda, pomposa e tirana velha, mal-humorada", assim como ela percebe que o pedaço do cogumelo voltou ao tamanho normal. A rainha grita "Cortem-lhe a cabeça!" e um enxame soldados cartão tentam pegar ela.

Na confusão, Alice foge do castelo e do labirinto e foge através dos segmentos anteriormente visitados do País das Maravilhas. Quando ela chega de volta a maçaneta da porta, ela olha pelo buraco da fechadura e se vê dormindo debaixo de uma árvore. Ela implora-se para acordar pois enfureceu os habitantes do País das Maravilhas. Alice desperta ao som de sua irmã pedindo-lhe para recitar sua lição de história. Alice atordoada só faz algumas poesias sem sentido, muito a exaustão de sua irmã. Alice então pega Dinah e todos eles voltam para casa para a hora do chá.

País das Maravilhas (quadrinhos)
Embora seja definido após a ida de Alice ao País das Maravilhas, os quadrinhos mostram o impacto das aventuras de Alice no reino. Além da dificuldade para o Coelho Branco e sua empregada Maryanne encontraram-se, Alice ganhou um status cult entre os habitantes das maravilhas que não gostam das regras da Rainha de Copas.

O Point do Mickey

Alice faz inúmeras aparições na série animada. Alice é geralmente vista bebendo chá com o Chapeleiro Maluco. Em Ask Von Drake, Alice foi vista com o Chapeleiro durante o efetivo de todos os convidados e personagens Disney. Em Dining Goofy, Alice estava em seu estado gigantesco, o que torna difícil para encomendar a comida em um computador de tamanho normal. Um garçom pinguim serviu então Alice com um de seus "Beba-me" garrafas, retornando ela de volta a seu tamanho normal. Na abertura do show, Alice pode ser vista com alguns outros personagens das maravilhas no balcão de reservas de Margarida. Alice também aparece no Natal Mágico do Mickey.

Em outras mídias
Assim como todos os personagens da Disney, Alice esta em diversos produtos licenciados com o filme, que usam sua imagem.  Ela também é referência para produtos não-oficiais, devido ao seu vestido icônico. Ela também apareceu em uma vasta quantidade de produtos da franquia Disney Princesas.

Alice aparece como um personagem comum em parques da Disney em todo o mundo. A presença de Alice na Disneylândia inclui o popular jogo de cadeiras musicais diariamente às 14:30, participando nos concertos diários na Disneylândia, na entrada principal como o parque abre e na frente da dança do Castelo da Bela Adormecida com o Chapeleiro Maluco e crianças selecionadas para o "The Unbirthday Song", bem como ser uma das atrações da "Dreams of Imagination" com o Chapeleiro Louco na parada de Walt Disney, unidos por esses personagens mencionados e um par de acrobatas vestidos como cartas. Ela também foi vista no final do Fantasmic! sobre a Mark Twain e foi conhecida para fazer um empreendimento para a Disney California Adventure, de tempos em tempos, especificamente para o Hollywood Studios, e também aparece na parada Disney's Electrical Parade (antes conhecido como The Main Street Electrical Parade), ou há visitar o World of Disney Store no Downtown Disney de Anaheim. Ela também aparece em dois atrativos: Alice no País das Maravilhas (atração da Disneylândia) e "It's a Small World". Alice aparece no grande final do World of Color no Disney's California Adventure.

Alice é uma das Princesas de Coração que apareceram em Kingdom Hearts e Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.  O mundo em que ela aparece é o País das Maravilhas, embora este é ou não o seu mundo de casa é discutível. Alice é o único membro das Princesas de coração que não é de herança real (através de casamento ou linhagem) além de Kairi.

Versões com atores

Cinema
Em 2010, a atriz australiana Mia Wasikowska protagonizou uma reinvenção do filme animado dirigida por Tim Burton. Aqui batizada 'Alice Mollinia Kingsleigh, a personagem começa com 19 anos, insatisfeita com a vida na era vitoriana. Ao perceber o Coelho Branco, acaba por voltar à terra fantástica que visitara 13 anos antes - que aqui se chama "Mundo Subterrâneo" (Underland), mas que a jovem Alice entendeu como "País das Maravilhas" (Wonderland). Durante a visita, Alice decide seguir uma profecia que ela seria a executora do monstro Jaguadarte.

Alice Kingsleigh volta aos cinemas em  Alice Through the Looking Glass, de 2016, inspirado na continuação literária Through the Looking-Glass.

Televisão
Alice, interpretada pela australiana Sophie Lowe, é protagonista de Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, série de 2013 derivada de Once Upon a Time. Durante a era vitoriana,  Alice conta sobre suas aventuras no País das Maravilhas e é considerada insana, sendo mandada para um hospício e quase tem suas memórias apagadas antes do Valete de Copas e o Coelho Branco a resgatarem. Em 2017, uma nova versão de Alice em Once Upon a Time será interpretada pela atriz Rose Reynolds na sétima temporada da série.

When people who work in their offices hear that we flew to Hawaii for work they usually react as "Lucky dogs! I wish I could…". But very few actually would think about it for a minute: when all vacationers are hanging out on the beach or leisurely stroll to the bar in early afternoon we would have gotten up at 5:30 am, hastily ate breakfast and rushed to the airplane, worked there in the heat of the day for 6-8 hours without going for lunch and finally went back to the hotel, wishing not for beach time but to lay down and pass out.
However, some days we can take off. More precisely, one day every week, meant to prevent the rebellious crew of the Gulfstream from going totally and completely nuts. This time such a day off happened to be in Hawaii. The fine Anchorage FAA folks who were so very kind to work with us there sarcastically shook their heads, not willing to believe that this was a pure coincidence. I assure you it was. Well, maybe almost. We like Anchorage and would have as well taken a day off there but it just so happened when the schedule was being written. Huh.
In any case, we took Sunday off and spent it doing touristy things. Some might have in mind a vision of a beach or a cool blue pool; or a swim-in bar with translucent mai tais served by a smiling island beauty. Well, what could be more touristy for a bunch of science types than to visit one of the most famous climate monitoring observatories in the world? So we went to Mauna Loa.
Mauna Loa is a mountain on the Southern side of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is over 13,600 feet high and while it was 88 degrees on the coast, it was a comfortable 57 degrees at the observatory, which is located at the 11,141 feet elevation. A front of clouds was churning above the Saddle between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, some 5,000 feet below us, while we bathed in the sunshine and listened to the story of the observatory and enjoyed the tour of the measurements presented to us by none other than the famous Forrest Mims III. Forrest is a wonderful person whose enthusiasm ignites those he talks to, and very knowledgeable about the observatory and the measurements that are carried out on it.
The observatory has a rich an complex history, defined by the mixture of politics and amazing personalities of scientists who sometimes dedicated their entire lives to protecting and improving the observatory. The Mauna Loa station remains one of the prime reference locations in the world for long term monitoring of CO2 and other green house gases.
The road to the observatory and back deserves a word all by itself. Tracking through desolate lava fields, the single lane road winds precariously, dotted by potholes threatening to take the wheels off your car unless you are driving a military 6×6. The lava on the sides can be black, brown or purple, and is sometimes smooth, or other times, scarily rough, with abrasive-looking spires protruding from the fields of jagged black debris. Driving fast is not recommended, and if you don't understand why, you shouldn't drive there at all. Several gravestones stand on the road sides, somber reminders of the motorcyclist who missed the turn and shredded himself on the unforgiving lava, and others that perished on the treacherous road. A trickle of white paint can be seen along the middle of the road and its purpose may not be clear to visitors. You will immediately know what it is for if you drive on the road at night: the lava surface reflects almost no light from the headlights and one could easily drive off the road had it not been for the thin white streak down its middle, made at some point by pouring white paint from a punctured paint can out of the back of a slowly driving pickup truck.
The lava fields may look monotonous from the car, but if you are there, pull over and walk around. You will want sturdy shoes and sunscreen but if you do get out, you will be rewarded. The flows are never the same, they change texture and color. Plants cling to the rough walls of lava tubes, surviving on the minimal nutrients and will to live alone. The snowy zeolites fill the cracks and caverns. The lava crust cracks and settles under your feet. Lava tubes gape open, inviting you to visit their shadowy depths. We visited, being very careful not to fall: just move your hand over lava surface and you will know why you don't want to fall, the lava feels like knife blades sticking through very rough sandpaper.
But the landscape is fascinating and one could easily spend the whole day wandering about the lava fields. Make sure to have a partner along, don't go by yourself unless you are an experienced outdoors person. Even then, the treacherous lava crust can break under your feet, resulting in an injury.
If you are considering a hike from the Observatory visitor parking to the top of Mauna Loa, remember that it takes 4 hours one way; thunderstorms form extremely quickly and unexpectedly on the Southern side of the mountain that you can not see, and rush over it in an instant, pummeling the mountain with lightning and hail; and that in July, the night temperatures are below freezing. Rescue helicopters will not find you at night, so don't head up unless you are prepared and leave plenty of daylight to get back to your car.
After you make it back to the paved Saddle road, it will take you back to the Western shore of the island, winding its way through the older lava flows, covered with vegetation. Some areas are lush green, with grasses billowing in the wind like horse manes, and trees lean westward, showing that this place answers to only two forces of Nature: Fire and Wind.
Closer to the coast, the beautiful jacaranda trees are blooming, showing off their light purple flowers against the fresh green of leaves, with the backdrop of the hazy foothills of the massive Mauna Kea. In the end, this was a wonderful day off on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Did you know gaming is great for families?
Sibling rivalries. A tale as old as time. But with COVID-19 social distancing limitations, it hasn't exactly been easy to demolish the spirits of your younger brother or show your older sister who's the boss. Even in the best of times, establishing in-person familial dominance as the head honcho of your gene pool can be tough.
Yet that's the beauty of 21st century gaming. Even when separated by distance, families can engage in healthy competition to re-establish the pecking order. Headlocks and yelling matches over a game of Monopoly that's long overstayed its welcome are so last year. Going head-to-head virtually in a round of Time Out is what's in vogue.
Maybe soul-crushing competition isn't your family's thing? That's okay. App gaming can form comradery and reaffirm the ties that bind, too. Whatever your flavor, app-based games provide connection when it's lacking. Anywhere there's Wi-Fi or cell signal, there's a direct line to the ones you love.
Blurp is a proud contributor to both in-fighting and bringing families closer together. With games like Egg Toss Boss and Hydro Chase, being apart has never felt so at home.
So let's recap. Why should you look to app-based games as a method of reconnecting with that uncle who can't help but talk politics at holiday gatherings? Or the one cousin who only comes around once a year to try and sell you in on their pyramid scheme? Well, because in a lot of ways, the biggest perk to gaming is that it limits the focus of interactions to the game itself. The beauty in going 1 v. 1 with Aunt Judy in Strike 3 is in the app's singular nature: to skip the small talk and emerge victorious.
No matter the time and place, app-based gaming can connect us to what's really important: our families. And even if it's through an 8-bit sprite on a 5-inch screen, connection is what we need most right now.

Mountain Valley Middle School student Abby LaBrash explains her genetics project to Commissioner Bowen.
SOUTH PARIS – A day after releasing a new school grading system designed to focus on transparency and continuous improvement in schools, Maine's Education Commissioner toured three Oxford County schools that are embracing new models for educational excellence.
The visit by Maine Department of Education Commissioner Stephen Bowen to Oxford Hills Middle School and Oxford Hills Technical School in RSU 17 and Mountain Valley Middle School in RSU 10 was the latest in his Promising Practices Tour.
Bowen began the tour on Thursday at the Roberts Farm Preserve in Norway, where he talked with Oxford Hills Middle School seventh and eighth graders about the life science and leadership skills they're developing by participating in the farm's experiential learning program.
Students from the same school then showed off a new race car they're constructing at Crazy Horse Racing in South Paris with the help of a professional builder. As the vehicle is being built, so is their knowledge of math, science, engineering and teamwork.
Bowen says that hands-on learning like this helps some students pick up concepts they would have never connected with in the classroom.
Governor Paul R. LePage made reference to that Wednesday when he joined Bowen at the Maine State Library to unveil the new school report cards, which showed a majority of Maine's elementary and high schools earned an A, B or C.
The Governor and Commissioner agree expert educators are able to find the individual hook that gets each child excited about learning. Bowen said he saw that happening in the Oxford County schools he visited and that students there are the better for it.
Two of the schools on Thursday's tour were ranked as C schools, and one received an F. With the promising practices they have underway, the Commissioner said he expects their proficiency, progress and ultimately their letter grade will improve. He also hopes other schools take notice of what he saw.
Bowen's Promising Practices Tour will take him to all nine superintendent regions in the state before the end of the school year. For more information, visit www.maine.gov/doe/tour/.

House of Mercy homeless shelter reopens with limited capacity
By James Brown
PHOTO PROVIDED BY HOUSE OF MERCY
Earlier this winter, COVID-19 forced the House of Mercy to close its Ormond Street shelter for the homeless
Over the House of Mercy's three decades of operation, it has rarely closed. But earlier this winter, COVID-19 forced the Rochester homeless shelter to shut down, said its founder and executive director, Sister Grace Miller.
"For the first time I feel like my hands are tied," Miller said. "You know, I can't go in the direction I want to go because there are rules and regulations regarding the pandemic."
The facility is slowly reopening after a spate of COVID-19 infections among volunteers, staff, and residents at the end of last year. Eight people moved back in last week, in a facility that has 82 beds.
"It was very difficult when one after another, after another caught the virus," Miller said.
Miller hopes to phase in more people over time and reach full capacity when it's safe to do so.
"We would love it if it ended tomorrow," said Miller. "It's so devastating."
But she remains busy as ever, and said she's staying in contact with residents, helping them find new places to stay. She added that some are staying at hotels while others have other arrangements.
Miller said the House of Mercy is working with Monroe County to get as many members of Rochester's homeless population access to COVID-19 vaccines as possible. Five people received it Thursday night.
"We're still with our people, even if some of them are at a distance," said Miller. "We haven't forgotten them and they haven't forgotten us."

First, the upper half of the poster is framed by imagery of missing Maoist members, reinforcing the message of sacrifice and martyrdom for a greater cause. Flags showing different manual labour tools frame the lower half. I am not sure if these represent different unions, but they're a direct copy of Soviet posters that use the flags of all the Soviet states.
Next the upper portion of the poster contains a Soviet and a socialism reference. In the upper left, the hammer and star flag over the world is a direct descendant of earlier USSR flags over the world produce by the Soviet Union.
Bricks are of great value in Nepal. You know this even before you arrive, as brick kilns sprout like grass across the Kathmandu valley, conspicuous in their number as you approach KTM airport. They populate the countryside – more than houses or roads – producing millions of red bricks.
Do not be fooled into thinking that this means red bricks are common. No, even though you see them piled everywhere from street corners to back yards, they are very valuable.
Look Ma, Mount Everest is right there!
At dawn this morning, Bryan Berry, Tony Anderson and I climbed aboard Buddha Air Flight 102 from Kathmandu (KTM) to Mt. Everest. It was a little twin-engine turbo prop with just one seat on each side of the aircraft, so everyone had a window and isle seat.
And here's why that mattered: we flew along the Himalayan range from Borile Lakpa to Makalu, including Mount Everest herself.
Nepalese learn how to drive on small country roads that have no defined lanes, shoulders, or rules. And when they get to Kathmandu's mix of narrow side roads and few four-lane boulevards, they continue their lawless driving with great flair.
How do you pour concrete to build a new second floor on a house in Kathmandu, Nepal? By hand. Yes, every single ounce of cement is mixed, moved, and set by hand.
First, the concrete ingredients are put into the mixing hopper. Gravel, sand, water and cement mix are all shoveled in with hand labour – not even wheelbarrows are used! Gravel is shoveled by two people (one working the shovel, the other using rope to help) into a basket strapped to the body of a third laborer who walks it to the hopper.

Staff parking charges to remain at Harrogate Hospital
Car parking was free during the earlier part of the year at Harrogate Hospital for both staff and visitors. That changed on 23 September, when charges were re-instated for all with the ticketed parking for visitors and staff parking at the normal rate of £50 per month. In November 2020, a Liberal Democrat motion to support and encourage NHS Hospital Trusts to provide free parking for staff was unanimously supported by North Yorkshire County Council. County Councillor Geoff Webber (Lib Dem Bilton & Nidd Gorge), who moved the proposal, commented: I am delighted that this proposal has received unanimous and

The Samsung Galaxy S7 series has been available for purchase in most regions for nearly three weeks, and now that consumers and early adopters have gotten a chance to spend more time with their latest flagship, fresh reports have started showing up to suggest that the Galaxy S7 is not without its flaws. Most recently, numerous Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge owners have confirmed the existence of an annoying bug that disrupts Wi-Fi connectivity in certain scenarios. Fortunately, the issue doesn't seem to be caused by faulty hardware, so a permanent fix should technically be delivered by Samsung sooner rather than later.
Smartphones are complex electronic devices running feature-packed operating systems, and as is the case with most computing devices, smartphones are not perfect and can be affected by various bugs. Hardware-wise the Samsung Galaxy S7 series is a very powerful device; one that Consumer Reports considers being the best smartphone currently available on the market. However, as mentioned above, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is not without flaws, and one particular issue was recently brought in the spotlight by numerous owners. Accordingly, it appears that Samsung's latest flagship has difficulties in maintaining a stable Wi-Fi connection in certain cases, specifically in conjunction with certain Google applications, namely the Google Play Store and Gmail. The issue seems to prevent applications from being downloaded via the Google Play Store, and causes Gmail to fail syncing data over Wi-Fi.
The good news is that users have discovered a variety of ways to work around the problem; the bad news is that all the fixes so far are only temporary. In any case, disconnecting and reconnecting to a Wi-Fi network seems to fix the issue for a period of time, and turning Bluetooth off and / or uninstalling applications that use location in the background seems to have a similar effect. Assuming you own a Samsung Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 Edge and you're experiencing these problems, you can also rely solely on LTE networks to avoid running into issues with Wi-Fi connectivity, but evidently this can take a toll on your monthly data allowance so tread carefully. In any case, the problem doesn't seem to be caused by hardware, so it's likely that Samsung will patch the bug through a future software update eventually.


Come relax and enjoy my one of a kind blissful body rubs. I am a down to earth, intriguing and fun gal that loves what I do. Great hands and rocking body. Break away from your stressful work day & take some time for yourself with a truly unique experience with me.

The typical modern production boat owes much to the demands of the charter market, and few builders are tied as deeply to that market as Beneteau, whose Oceanis and Cyclades lines have been mainstays of The Moorings's fleets (among others) for close on two decades. Comfort and reliability come before speed in the charter operator's wish list, but in recent years the emphasis has shifted towards boats with more satisfying sailing performance. One such is the Beneteau 43, which I sailed in Tortola recently in its guise as the Moorings 43.4, the four-cabin version of the Oceanis 43 "family." You can also order the boat with just two large cabins with generous ensuite head compartments, or in a three cabin/three head layout.
The four-cabin/two head version seems to be the hot ticket for charter fleets, though, at least for value-conscious charterers. You could squeeze ten people onto this boat, not that you'd necessarily want to. Jamming four cabins into a 43* hull while retaining enough saloon, galley, and stowage space to make the boat a viable vacation platform can't have been easy, but the collaboration of Berret/Racoupeau (hull) and Nauta Design (interior) has done it nicely. Forward of the main bulkhead, the spacious stateroom and heads of the two- and three-cabin versions are replaced with a smaller V-berth and a two-bunk cabin that would be ideal for a couple of children. All of these cabins are on the snug side but are perfectly habitable.
The communal living areas are unaffected by this design finesse, and the saloon in particular is roomy and inviting. The linear galley would not be my choice for seagoing duty but it's ideal for chartering, where you'll seldom be cooking belowdeck, and for coastal cruising, where you'll seldom be cooking while under way. Stowage was plenty adequate for a week or more exploring out of supermarket range. I found the headroom generous; doorways were well sized and there was reasonable space for showering in both head compartments.
Most Beneteaus sold on this side of the Atlantic are built in Marion, South Carolina, but the 43 family comes from France. Construction is the same either way: cast iron keels, fiberglass/balsa sandwich deck, solid fiberglass hull with an internal pan molding to stiffen the structure and soak up keel and rigging loads. The 19/20ths rig has a split, non-adjustable backstay and aft-raked spreaders that help provide both forestay tension and a narrow sheeting angle for the genoa. All lines are led aft to the cockpit.
This is not a heavy boat for its length and the easily-driven hull has a long sailing waterline. With the sails sheeted in, the boat sailed itself to windward at over 6 knots in under 10 knots of true wind, and with the sheets cracked off a little the 43 nudged up to 7 knots. Twin wheels are all the rage now; not only do they ease access to the swim platform but they let the helmsman keep an eye on headsail luff and traffic from either quarter. The refinement that's gone into these twin-wheel systems over the last few years was evident in the lightness of the steering. Standard draft is 5'5" but there is a 6'7" option for those who prefer the windward bite of a deeper keel.
I like the styling of the new Oceanis range and this boat is quite an eye-catcher. The boat I sailed was rigged up Caribbean-fashion with a bimini that covered the entire cockpit; this somewhat diminished the visual appeal but would be one of the first options I'd check, whether I was putting the boat into charter or loading the family on board for a summer cruise.

This chart shows the worst 30 cities by child gender ratio. None of them reach the threshold of 952; the closest city, Amritsar, is 128 women away. Mahesana, in the state of Gujarat, has the lowest ratio of the top 500 cities, with a rate of 762 women per 1000 men. From the fact that many of these cities are large ones, we arrive at the idea that the problem of female infanticide does not seem confined to smaller villages, contrary to common perception. In fact, relatively large urban areas also have this problem, including Amritsar and Agra.
