D202 School Board names Principal Marcus Campbell as ETHS' new superintendent
Sari Oppenheimer and Eden Drajpuch|April 21, 2022
On Thursday, April 21, the District 202 School Board held a special meeting to announce ETHS' new superintendent and principal, set to begin for the 2022-2023 school year.
Following the announcement of Superintendent Eric Witherspoon's retirement in late September, ETHS began the process of looking for someone to fill the position. This process was conducted through the work of a third party, Alma Advisory Group. Throughout the year, the advising firm held focus group discussions with students, teachers and community members to hear what they were looking for in a superintendent.
After months of research and interviews, and, with much anticipation, the D202 school board concluded their search and announced Marcus Campbell to fill the role of superintendent. Campbell has been working at ETHS since 2001, and he has previously served as both the assistant superintendent and principal as well as English teacher.
Campbell is set to assume the role as superintendent beginning in the 2022-2023 school year.
This is a developing story. The Evanstonian will continue to report on this topic in the future.

Okay. Let's Talk About It.
In addition, the IRS guidelines become more cautionary when it comes to specific public policy issues.
You really need to stop with the [posting political stuff online]. You'll start alienating people because you're a pastor … I'm no [candidate's name] lover, but I'm not posting political stuff because it is divisive. As a pastor, being partisan doesn't help your message … I know lots of pastors are … but I always thought you above that.
I'm the pastor. Facebook and sermons are the pulpits. Now, here's the lament.
As someone who has been attempting to understand, live, and teach the Way of Jesus, what am I allowed (supposed) to do when the teachings of Jesus compel me to "love my neighbor" (Leviticus 19:18, Mark 12:31) and "welcome the stranger" (Matthew 25:35), and a political candidate tacitly declares a policy that is diametrically opposed to that teaching? Do the lines of distinction actually exist between politics and religion when issues such as the poor, or the immigrant, or victims of injustice are platformed?
I am deeply thankful for the "separation of church and state" and the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment, which prevents government from establishing a state religion, or unduly favoring one religion over the other. As Dr. Randall Balmer has suggested, Evangelicalism specifically has thrived under this "market of religions." It has been good for politics and religion. So, in the past, when I have heard religious people make political statements, I have cringed, because of the above ethic, and wish that more accountability would be dealt to clergy who violate these principles.
Thus it is, exponentially intensified in this political season perhaps more than any other, the plight and muddled mess of teaching on the Way of Jesus which cannot help but be categorized, perceived and actual, as political.
If I'm brutally honest, none of these avenues are satisfying for me. Speaking covertly is dishonest. Speaking boldly grates against my pastoral sensibilities to care for all people (I have members in my congregation that voted for both candidates). And the path of "God is in control," is frankly, nauseating. It is one of those, "so heavenly minded, you're no earthly good" religious sentiments that are philosophically and practically escapist. In Christianity, we teach incarnation, that heaven becomes flesh, and lives among us. If "God is in control," I want to know what flesh you're going to put on that theology.
So, in the midst of the lament, the path that I default to is one that I hope is helpful, constructive, enlightening, and inspiring. It is the path of first seeking to understand.
In sum, (and a gross oversimplification), we make decisions and formulate our beliefs at the "gut level," and "intuitively." Our "rationality" is not in the driver's seat. It's in the "way, way, back" of the car, simply along for the ride. When poked, it will speak up, and yell from the back that they want the music up louder (to drown out the opposition), or it will request some more snacks (to feed and nourish what I already believe). But it does not steer, accelerate, or brake. It simply rides along.
It is this reality that I feel was, and still is, completely lost on the vast majority of the conversations and analyses of this election season. Pollsters and demographers are scratching their heads. News pundits are trying to deconstruct the socio-political factors of race, gender, and immigration. We've all heard the phrase, "How did this happen?" numerous times in the last 24-48 hours. And yet, I have not heard one person, or seen one article on how the human brain processes negative or traumatic experiences (perceived or actual) and how those experiences deeply alter a person's process of thought and emotion.
This, in my humble opinion, is the tragedy. A complete lack of understanding of the human soul. (And pastors are supposedly in the business of serving and ministering to the human soul).
As much as I appreciate and actually respect Pavlovitz's contributions through the years on a variety of topics related to faith and life, and as much as I value and validate his sentiments in this post, with all due respect, I don't think Pavlovitz understands.
There's much more, but please read that paragraph again. Now, read it as a Republican. Read it again as a factory worker in the rust belt. Read it again as a moderately educated white Evangelical in the south. Read it again as a mid-Western farmer.
Consider this post by Cassie Hewlett, entitled I am, posted on FB by a friend and congregant. While many would critique the merits of her arguments, it is critical to see the humanity in someone that voted according to their convictions, not necessarily in accordance with the character of the candidate. Compound that with the fact that nobody likes to be called names, or labeled, and many of my friends who did vote for Trump are recoiling at the epithets being sent their way. The sentiment that we are "living in enemy territory" is ubiquitous, and no respecter of political party.
I kindly, humbly, and respectfully submit that Pavlovitz and others are missing it.
Allow me to reiterate that I think Pavlovitz is right in capturing the sentiment of how many feel at this moment. And many want Trump supporters to publicly denounce the hatred with the same vigor in which they publicly declare their support. But by writing about, "grieving the loss of a place we used to love but no longer do," it appears he is missing that that feeling is what got us here, NOT the list of shameful or dishonoring moral characteristics of the candidate.
I submit to you that labeling Trump supporters with deprecating names is a, not true, and b, really unhelpful. It is to misunderstand the fundamental forces at play in human psychology. The fundamental forces at work are a sense of loss, a sense of grief, a perception, a "gut feeling," or "intuition" that this country is not what it used to be.
Because we are "survival" animals, we naturally strive for solutions that provide the greatest possible chance at that survival. If we experience any sense of loss–and "change" is loss–the immediate response, biologically, is fear. Fear, without any counterbalance, leads to a strategy of neutralizing the threat, which results, most often, in the repression of other groups that appear to be the cause or driver of the threat.
We all do this, by the way. In our relationships, in our jobs, and yes, in our politics.
Consider Hillary Clinton's now famous line, "basket of deplortables." This is a glaring example of this phenomenon. Few would argue with who instigated the list of insults, (Trump), but what is most fascinating is that as a result of fighting against him, making him the "enemy," Clinton and many others on the "other side," became like him.
Pavlovitz and others, with riots, demonstrations, blog posts, and outcries, have become just like the Republicans and Trump supporters in their "desire." Everything that I described in the section immediately above, is now at work in the souls of the progressives, Democrats, liberals, or whatever other title you want to use.
As a quick reminder, this is not an indictment or judgment of anyone. I am simply attempting to understand human phenomena, and it's influence on our behavior.
Mimetic desire. This is all of us. We all do this. And because we all do this, if there is not some sort of intervention, a redemptive disruption, a Scapegoat according to Girard, the cycle will continue.
And, the cycle will get even more complex, and more exacerbated, because the world is changing, and it is changing fast. That change means more loss, more fear, and more uncertainty to come.
Part of the reason why this election result is so disappointing, according to this line of thinking, is because the "solution" that has been chosen is not appropriate or adequate for the problem that is being addressed. Add to that, the "solution" also comes with a whole host of very negative side effects (the main focus of the outcry).
Honestly, it's a lot easier to think of the world as static, to reminisce about the "good old days," and to leverage your voting power for that self-preservation. It's hard to evolve. It's hard to step into new worlds. It's hard to become a different person, which is what happens when you diversify. Yes, you lose a small part of yourself in the process of becoming more diverse. You gain so much more, but something within you has to quietly (or sometimes violently) dissipate in order for your soul to be expanded. That's just the way. For both sides. For progressives and conservatives. For liberals and fundamentalists. It's just that the "good old days" were the 40s and 50s for some. For others, it was the 8 years of the Obama Administration.
Which is one of the main reasons why the Evangelical vote is a central point of tension, anxiety, confusion, and perplexity. Religion's main impulse is to preserve, to ensure that order and stability are kept in the social structure. Any disruption is going to be theologized and mythologized as "secular," "other," and in some cases, "evil." Be that globalization or liberation, religion will recoil.
By the way, globalization and liberation is no respecter of religion. It moves, because it wants to be free.
Which brings us to understanding the Evangelical role in politics and how we are to interpret current events.
The Evangelical role, for the members of my "tribe," is the most perplexing and emotion-inducing aspect in this election. Consider just a few articles. Christianity Today's Trump Elected President, Thanks to 4 in 5 White Evangelicals by Kate Shellnutt provides the statistical and cultural analysis. The Atlantic's Why Christians Overwhelmingly Backed Trump, by Olga Khazan which suggested that abortion is a main driver. The Washington Post's, Why some fear this election's lasting damage to American Christianity by Sarah Pulliam Bailey which does a nice analysis of explaining the division and history of Evangelicalism and Conservativism. Phil Vischer's post Church, We've Got Some Explaining To Do, addresses race and the PR challenges of loving our neighbor. Chris Gehrz's post Who's an "Evangelical"? We Now Know… perhaps gets right to the heart of the tension, summed up in the tweet by @JohnFea1, "If this is evangelicalism–I am out. #election2016 #Evangelicals Tony–you win.
This should be no surprise. Since the 70s and 80s, (with roots back to the 20s), Evangelicalism has had an unholy marriage to the Republican party. Randall Balmer's God in the White House, The Real Origins of the Religious Right, and The Making Of Evangelicalism provide some really helpful historical perspective for how that happened, and the reasons for its progression.
Which is why I would like to offer my thesis, that this, all of this 2016 Evangelicalism/election bewilderment, is actually good for Evangelicals. By the way, it is also good for Gospel Christians, Red-Letter Christians, and followers of Jesus of every tradition and trajectory.
It feels like living in enemy territory being here now, and there's no way around that. We wake up today in a [church] we no longer recognize. We are grieving the loss of a [faith community] we used to love but no longer do. This may be [Evangelicalism] today but it is not the [Evangelicalism] we believe in or recognize or want.
By the way, this wandering from the "institution" has been going on for decades now. If you read the works of George Barna and David Kinnaman, Kenda Kreasy Dean, Christian Smith, and others, you know that at least the formal institution of Evangelicalism has been losing members for quite some time.
What I am saying is that the unholy marriage of Evangelicalism and politics set the backdrop and cultural conditions that prompted later emerging generations to jettison their faith for ideologies or spiritualities that are more capacious, welcoming, and honestly, more radical in love. In response, the capital "C" Church has been doing some soul searching, attempting to change forms, revisit theologies/teachings, and make significant shifts in orthodox expression and praxis. This "deconstruction" puts front and center the dilemma of how much our faith is directly informed and influenced by our cultural entrapment. It also mirrors what is happening in our country as a whole. And like the progressive civic steps we are taking as a nation, we are also taking progressive religious steps as a Church, even if it hurts sometimes, and even when it feels as if we're moving backward.
In many ways, the "Great Experiment" of the Way of Jesus found in the "Great Commission" of Matthew 28, now has a "Great Opportunity" in front of itself. Does this Way really make a difference to mimetic desire, power, politics, race, gender, and a divided and broken nation? Does the Way of Jesus offer hope in the midst of civic and political unrest? Does the Way of Jesus offer healing in the midst of feeling alienated in your own land? Does the Way of Jesus offer the possibility of life after death? Does the Way of Jesus redeem lost religions and clergy? Does the Way of Jesus reconcile broken relationships, and embrace the marginalized? Does the Way of Jesus, save?
I contest that the Way of Jesus, as we find in the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth as documented in our New Testament offers this and more. The Way of Jesus is true and relevant, and therefore a piercing challenge to us all, Evangelical or not, Christian or Atheist, American or International. If embraced, considered for all its values, mined for all its riches, and practiced, it truly holds the potential of transforming the world.
It is, after all, how we got here.
So friends, if you got this far in this post, I thank you and am humbled you read through all of this. It seems appropriate to close these reflections with the words of Jesus to Peter, who was distracted and concerned with another disciple, and what his responsibilities were, the responsibilities of "the other" were to be in this movement.


This tension was the focus of our follow-up conference, "Forming Nations, Reforming Empires: Atlantic Polities in the Long Eighteenth Century," held in 2010. This second conference highlighted alternatives to a narrative of the long eighteenth century in which empires declined and nation-states rose, especially in the latter half of the Age of Revolutions. We asked participants to use narratives and case studies to explore particular ways in which empires might have adapted to the changing circumstances of the eighteenth century, and in which nation-states did not smoothly evolve out of empires, and to investigate the complex landscape of loyalties, disloyalties, and networks—political and otherwise—during this whole period.
The articles in this issue continue to pursue the questions raised in both conferences. In particular, they highlight the ways in which networks of revolution, religion, migration, and intellectual production shaped the experiences of people moving in and around the Atlantic in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These case studies do not argue for an eighteenth-century Atlantic world free from political and social upheaval—unrest was certainly one characteristic of the era—but they also reveal that there were multiple and alternative forms of affiliation among eighteenth-century actors. The revolutionary story has, for the most part, come to dominate narratives of the long eighteenth century, particularly in the Atlantic Ocean basin, and these papers ask us to engage explicitly with how a focus on that revolutionary character has emphasized some stories and occluded others. These papers question what counts as a revolution and who can be called a revolutionary. Simply living in or around the Atlantic world between the late 1600s and early 1800s did not inevitably a revolutionary make. Similarly, even those who actively participated in revolutions were not necessarily engaged in anti-imperial or nationalist projects. We hope that this issue continues a discussion about the work that individual revolutions and the Age of Revolutions as a historical era have done, both during the eighteenth century and in its aftermath.

Q: Can't get Webpack and UglifyJsPlugin to output minified bundle I have been banging my head against the desk on this for a few days now and can't figure out why I can't get webpack to output my bundle.js as a minified file. I've managed to get it smaller by playing with the uglify settings, but it still isn't minified, it looks like this;

This makes the file much larger than I think it should be, and it doesn't look right at all. It weighs in at 330kb. Here is some of the relevant webpack code:
  plugins: [
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({ 'process.env':{ 'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production') } }),
    new webpack.optimize.DedupePlugin(),
    new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
    new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
      compress: { warnings: false },
      mangle: false,
      sourcemap: false,
      minimize: true,
      mangle: { except: ['$super', '$', 'exports', 'require', '$q', '$ocLazyLoad'] }
    }),
    new ExtractTextPlugin('src/assets/stylesheets/app.css', { allChunks: true })
  ]

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get it condensed into one clean line/block of code. What am I doing wrong?


One of the most popular Xbox LIVE games currently on Windows Phone 7 is Parachute Panic, a charming game with amateur trimmings with the basic aim of protecting your falling parachutes from landing in shark infested waters.
Explaining how to play Parachute Panic is a bit like describing how to browse a web page on a touchscreen mobile device. Basically the game features skydivers whose parachutes you must open at the right time by tapping; you're aiming to land them on a ship, so swiping your thumb diagonally will direct a gust of wind onto a safe surface.
Missing these ships will see the skydiver plummet to a watery death, often at the mercy of sharks.
Just a few taps and a couple of swipes, coupled with some charming graphics and an interesting soundtrack are all that it takes to charm a Windows Phone 7 owner!
Let's get this straight – you won't be buying Parachute Panic for its awesome graphics. What you might buy it for, though, is for a look at the stick drawings and graph paper background which gives the game such a home-spun feeling, like it was knocked up in the back of a maths exercise book!
The animation of the stick characters is great, and the "colouring in" of the sea makes me smile each time I see it. Throw into the mix the adequate sound FX and superbly cool music before and after a game and Parachute Panic is really lining up to be a surprise hit for Windows Phone 7.
Available exclusively from the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace either via your phone or the Zune desktop client, Parachute Panic can be purchased for £2.49 in the UK (a one-level trial is also available), around half the price of other Xbox LIVE titles that we've reviewed such as Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles and The Sims 3.
Whether those EA titles are higher in price because they have been ported from iPhone or because EA intend to cash in on Windows Phone while they can in case of a possible failure isn't clear, but the more games that offer reasonable prices and fun gameplay coupled with Xbox LIVE integration, the better for the platform as a whole.
With its warm heart and original graphic design – not to mention low price for an Xbox LIVE title – Parachute Panic is an absolute gem of a purchase and one that you should not miss. While the 200 points for your Gamerscore aren't necessarily easy the cool soundtrack and amusing death scenes for your stick men should keep you amused.

This post is going to be a part of #Foodiemonday #Bloghop. Today's theme is mousse.
Its a challenge for me. Always try to avoid such heavy dessert. Too much cream but yummy. And yes its no sugar no egg recipe added milk topping or malai.
I made it in my easy peasy way. And instead of sugar used honey to make it sweet. And not store bought cream I used milk topping or malai in it.
Used whatever readily available in my pantry. And the result is amazing. Its yummy.
Try this and you will love the orange chocolate mix flavour. You don't need any special ingredient. Need only cooking chocolate or dark chocolate, orange, honey and milk topping or malai.
Take cream or milk topping or malai in a bowl. Start whipping. Whip till the soft peaks form.
Don't whip it more. Over whipping will end up in butter.
Melt the cooking chocolate or dark chocolate in double boiler. I did it in microwave. Microwave for 1 minute. Add the orange juice stir well. And again microwave for 30 second.
Let it cool down. Add orange zest and honey and mix well.
Now add the whipped cream and fold in the chocolate mixture. Don't over mix, just fold it in the chocolate.
You can strain it too. To get a smooth texture.
Pour in the serving bowl and tap it gently.
Keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 hour. Now decorate with orange segment, chocolate chips and cherry.
Serve chilled or keep in refrigerator for later use.
Baingan bharta no its aalu baingan bharta. I didn't roast the baingan or brinjal/aubergine because my son don't like the smoking flavour. He and all my family members love this.
And its very easy to make. Boil mash and fry with spices and your delicious bharta is ready.
I garnished the bharta with boiled peas. Got the idea from my friend Reem Khan. Thanks dear.
Peel and chop the potatoes. Chopp the baingan or aubergine. Boil in a pressure cooker for 2-3 whistle.
Let it cool. Peel the baingan (optional) and mash well with potatoes.
Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds. Let it crackle. Add the chopped or grated garlic. Saute and add the onions.
Fry till onions change it's colour. Add ginger and tomatoes. Saute till tomatoes becomes mushy. Add the dry spices. And saute.
When oil leaves the sides add the frozen peas, mashed aalu/potatoes and baingan.
Add salt fry till dried up completely. Add ghee or clarified butter and switch off the flame.
Add coriander leaves. Mix well. And its ready. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and boiled peas.
I had frozen peas so microwaved for 1 minute with little water and salt. If you have fresh peas then microwave for 3-4 minutes with little water and salt.
Serve with steamed rice, roti/Indian flat bread, paratha or naan.
A cake with oats, whole wheat flour and banana. Perfect for kiddos. You will love the flavour of cinnamon and cardamom. And its egg less yet soft and moist.
Use your over ripe bananas lying on the fruit basket. And see how they vanish as a yummy cake.
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees. If you are using OTG preheat for 10 minutes.
Grease a cake tin and dust with flour. Keep it aside.
Mash the banana with a fork or blend in the blender. I used my grinder to mash it well.
Beat sugar and oil well.I like less sweet but you can add 3/4 cup sugar to make it more sweet. Add mashed banana and mix well.
Now add both flour cinnamon and cardamom powder, baking powder and mix well.
In a small bowl add vinegar with soda. Stir well and mix in the cake batter .
Add tutti fruity or chocochips or dry fruits whatever you have. Fold it nicely. I want to use tutti fruity but there was only 1 teaspoon in my pantry so added cashew nuts and raisins.
Pour in the greased and flour dusted cake tin. Tap lightly. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Every oven takes different time.
Mine takes 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick. Bake until the toothpick comes out clean.
I sprinkled little powdered sugar on it.
Slice and enjoy the soft moist and yummy cake with tea or coffee.
Sometimes we don't want to eat or serve store bought sweets. Everyone prefer home made sweets. Because its more healthy and you make it with love so more yummy too.
This time sharing a delicious and easy to make coconut sweet.
Highly nutritious coconut is packed with vitamins and minerals.
We need only equal quantity of grated coconut, milk and khoya/maws or reduced milk with sugar and little cardamom powder.
Try this very quick and easy to make coconut sweet at home.
Mix grated coconut and milk in a heavy bottom pan or nonstick pan. Cook on low flame stirring occasionally, till the mixture dried up.
Now add khoya/mawa or reduced milk and sugar. Cook again on low flame stirring continuously till dried up completely.
Switch off the flame. Add cardamom powder and mix well.
Now grind it to get a smooth texture.
After grinding make small balls. You can roll the balls with your palm and make laddu.
Or give them shape with any mould. I used my sandesh mould.
If you don't have this use any chocolate mould or give any shape of your choice.
Enjoy the yummy home made coconut sweets.
After Diwali we all preparing for upcoming Christmas.
Want to make red velvet but egg less. And here is the beauties. Red velvet cup cakes.
With a surprise inside. Placed a small rasgulla in every cupcakes.
A white rasgulla in red cakes. Wow look and taste both are amazing.
Couldn't take the pictures in day light. But you will love it's taste and texture.
Mix vinegar in warm milk and keep aside.
Grease the muffin mould or cup cake mould.
Sieve all the dry ingredients and keep aside.
In a bowl mix together oil and sugar. Beat well. Add vanilla and milk with vinegar. Mix well.
Then add the dry ingredients. Mix well so that it really blend together without any lumps.
I used powdered colour so added in the dry ingredients. Add little and after mixing all the ingredients check the colour add more if require. If you are using jell or liquid colour add at the end and mix well.
Pour the mixture in cup cake mould or muffin pan. Fill 1/4 cup and place one rasgulla on it. Now fill the mould 3/4th.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Check with a toothpick after 15 minutes. Every oven takes different time. Mine took 18 minutes.
Let the cupcakes cool and remove them from the mould or pan.
You can frost them after completely cooled. I didn't. Loved it's plain look.
Drizzle little chocolate sauce and serve.
Or you can make them half before serving.

Helping you find the best books to read
Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The adventures of Edmund, Lucy, and the insupportable (but later quite wonderful) Eustace, their cousin, as they are once again drawn into Narnia.
Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L. M. Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. Set in the late 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who was mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings; Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, originally intending to adopt a boy to ...
Caspian is a treat. It is a window into a bygone era, not only in time, but into the human psyche. The fact that many of us do not, like Caspian, long for the "Old Narnia" is a genuine tragedy. For the river of heroism and nobility which in our day is but a trickle, still gushes strong and clean and pure from the source.
If these men had not had each other to push them and make them better, our most cherished books would either not exist or would be much poorer works that what we now enjoy.
This is at once very much a children's story and at the same time a story for all people at all times. But it is best read through a child-like lens, remembering what it was like to hide in closets or imagine you were a knight or some other sort of hero, saving the day.
A masterpiece of literature. One of the greatest books of the English language. A beautiful tale of love, loss, tragedy, hopelessness, cruelty, and ultimately of redemption. Its characters are larger than life and unforgettable.
Fairy Tale / March 13, 2018
This book is full of complex metaphors and imagery that is difficult to understand fully. However it is still an intriguing story which touches on many incredible truths about the human condition. The reader is given a window into the nature of redemption and the paradox of finding life in death.
Classics / February 6, 2018
Little Women Review. Written in the 1800's and still holds so many truths for today's audiences. Emotional stories of four sisters coming of age.
Children's Books / February 6, 2018
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a scrumptious read. This wonderful book by Roald Dahl is a whimsical tale about confections and children, both virtuous and greedy.
The City of Ember (Book of Ember, #1)
Science Fiction / February 5, 2018
City of Ember is a delight. Though much of the narrative is filled with tension about Lina and Doon's efforts to save their city, there was a homey quality to the way it was described that made the story seem curiously gentle in the telling. While dystopian science fiction stories abound this was one that was strangely optimistic and wholesome.
Lewolkien Launch!
Announcement / February 5, 2018
Welcome to our brand spankin' new website! The dust is still settling and the paint is not completely dry, but we are open for business! Check out this announcement to find out about all the great things you can expect to find on this site!
This novel is a masterpiece. It is complex, rich, and brilliantly written. All of the characters are strongly portrayed and are not only memorable for their own sake, but through them, Dostoevsky is able to treat many of life's greatest questions.
The Complete Fairy Tales
Fairy Tale / February 4, 2018
I give this book 5 stars really on the strength of three of its stories- The Light Princess, The History of Phtogen and Nycteris, and my favorite of all, The Wise Woman or the Lost Princess. Not that the other stories are bad, but to me these three rise above the rest
Around the World in Eighty Days (Extraordinary Voyages, #11)
I can't say enough about what an enjoyable journey this was. The characters were vivid and charming, the plot brisk (once it got going), and the language and descriptions were superb. Phileas Fogg, the main character, proved "equal to the task" as Verne says, coming off as an iconic figure who is both mysterious and surprisingly heroic.
Merlin's Blade (The Merlin Spiral, #1)
Fantasy / February 4, 2018
Merlin's blade is a unique take on the Arthurian legends. Told mostly from the perspective of Merlin as a young man on the cusp of adulthood, the story has a decidedly historical feel. One gets the sense that considerable research went into the writing of this book. And yet the characters are what really shine here.
Though I suppose it's now old enough to be considered a classic, this novel feels like a fresh retelling of even more classic material, making it accessible to a wider audience through simple, straight-forward prose. A wonderful romp from start to finish...

Six Great Reads for your 6th Grader
Five Great Reads for your 5th Grader
Weekend at Rugby


A simple, fast and non-costly method for selective cysteine (Cys) detection, based on optical changes of silver colloids, is developed. For that purpose, stable colloids consisting of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) coated with polysaccharide dextran (Dex), isolated from bacterium species Leuconostoc mesenteroides T3, were prepared. The synthesized samples were thoroughly characterized including absorption and FTIR spectroscopy, as well as transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The silver colloids display high sensitivity and selectivity towards Cys detection in aqueous solutions. The Ag NPs coated with Dex provide possibility to detect Cys among a dozen amino acids and its detection limit was found to be 12.0 M. The sensing mechanism - red shift of optical absorption - is discussed in terms of the agglomeration of Ag NPs due to formation of hydrogen bonds between Cys molecules attached to different Ag NPs.

Better Luck Tomorrow (2002)
Film stanowi origin story postaci Hana Seul-Oh. Przedstawia jego szkolne życie. Ben – przyjaciel Hana jest niezwykle zdolnym chłopakiem, perfekcjonistą, dla którego głównym celem jest otrzymywanie najlepszych ocen w klasie. Podczas gdy stara się osiągnąć sukcesy towarzyskie, odkrywa mroczną stronę swojej osobowości. Wraz z przyjaciółmi: Virgilem, Dariciem i Hanem zaczynają prowadzić drugie życie jako chuligani i drobni kryminaliści, aby odreagować nacisk na perfekcjonizm. Stopniowo, gdy umacnia się ich przyjęta tożsamość, chłopcy zagłębiają się w świat podniecenia, okrucieństwa i zabawy. Nie jest to oficjalna część franczyzy. Została wyprodukowana przez studio Paramount Pictures, nie przez Universal. Jednak Justin Lin – reżyser tego filmu oraz 4 filmów z franczyzy Szybcy i wściekli uznaje, że Han – główny bohater tego filmu, jest tą samą postacią, co Han z Szybkich i wściekłych. W obu przypadkach Hana zagrał ten sam aktor – Sung Kang. Jest on tego samego zdania, co reżyser. Justin Lin nawiązał do tego filmu w serii Szybcy i wściekli – w Better Luck Tomorrow Han dużo pali, natomiast w całej serii kilka razy wspomniano, że rzucił palenie. Studio Universal nie wypowiedziało się oficjalnie na temat kanoniczności Better Luck Tomorrow. Film dzieje się między 1. a 2. częścią głównej serii, nie jest jednak oficjalną częścią franczyzy.

Casey Norman, who hosts the "Power Drive" show on Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada's radio station Power 97, conducted an interview with Duff McKagan (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER, DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED) on April 18. You can now listen to the chat in the YouTube clip below.
"The Taking", the new album from DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, sold 2,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 12 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. The group's previous album, "Sick", opened with around 1,400 units back in April 2009 to debut at No. 43 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart.
Released on April 19 via Eagle Rock Entertainment, "The Taking" was recorded at a Seattle-area studio with veteran rock producer Terry Date (SOUNDGARDEN, PANTERA, DEFTONES). Two tracks from "The Taking", were previously made available digitally. Anthemic rocker "We Win" was played during the World Series and riled up football fans for McKagan's hometown Seattle Seahawks. "Fight On" draws inspiration from our military veterans, and proceeds from these downloads go exclusively to the Puget Sound Healthcare System.
"This record really sort of took a life of its own, and the songs really revealed themselves to us as we went along," says Duff.
"Terry Date came into the picture at a time when his genius ear helped to capture a sonic theme for the record.
"You can't underestimate what a guy like TD brings to the table.
"'The Taking' is the closest thing to a 'concept' record that I have ever been involved with. Pain, loss, triumph, and redemption. Life. Bring it."

The Dallas Mavericks traded up two spots to select Luka Doncic with the No. 3 overall pick in Thursday night's NBA Draft, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The Mavericks swapped its first round pick, No. 5 overall, with the Atlanta Hawks, who then took Oklahoma star Trae Young.
The Hawks had been interested in trading back to select Young all week.
Along with the No. 5 overall pick, Dallas will send a 2019 protected first round pick, according to Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania. No players are involved in the trade.
Doncic, the 19-year-old guard, dominated in Europe this past season. He was named EuroLeague MVP, finishing the year averaging 14.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists over 25 minutes per game.
Young broke out in his freshman season at Oklahoma, leading the Sooners to a March Madness berth. He scored 27.4 points and picked up 8.7 assists per game, leading the country in both categories.
Young will likely become the replacement to Dennis Schroder, who is expected to be traded by the Hawks.

New Research: Earth Is Hotter Than Ever Recorded
Posted on January 11, 2022 Updated January 11, 2022 By Sheree Curry
Earth broke yet another heat record last year. For the sixth straight year, joint research by University of St. Thomas Professor of Engineering John Abraham and 23 scientists from around the world revealed that, per their measurements, the world's oceans are hotter than ever recorded.
"The Earth is warming and humans are the culprit," Abraham said. "The warming will continue indefinitely until we collectively take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
The Earth's temperature is dictated by ocean temperatures. Just how much more the world's oceans warmed in 2021 compared to the previous year is beyond what most can imagine.
"One way to think about this is the oceans have absorbed heat equivalent to seven Hiroshima atomic bombs detonating each second, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," he said.
The Arctic sea ice extent has decreased in all seasons with a declining rate of 13.1% per decade in September and 2.6% per decade in March, as well as a delaying of freeze-up into late fall or even early winter. (Photo Credit: Shaoqing Wang)
Scientifically, the data shows that the oceans heated up by about 14 zettajoules. A zettajoule is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules of energy. In 2021, the researchers found that the upper 2,000 meters in the world's oceans absorbed 14 more Zettajoules than in 2020, equal to 145 times world electricity generation. For context, all of the energy humans use the world over in a single year is about half of a Zettajoule.
The researchers measured the oceans because they are absorbing the vast majority of the heat associated with global warming. In fact, more than 90% of global warming heat ends up in the oceans.
"I like to say that global warming is really ocean warming," Abraham said. "If you want to know how fast climate change is happening, the answer is in the oceans."
The oceans are absorbing most of the heating from human carbon emissions. The researchers discovered, however, that the temperatures are not rising uniformly across the planet. They found that the fastest warming is in the Atlantic, Indian, and Northern Pacific Oceans.
"Using climate model simulations, we directly tie various features of the ocean to human emissions of industrial pollution and greenhouse gases," Abraham said.
The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat and transportation, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The University of St. Thomas is committed to reducing its carbon footprint. Heeding recent calls from the Catholic Church for faith-based institutions to fight a growing ecological crisis, the university implemented a five-year strategic plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035.
The university's plan includes divestment from public securities of any company whose primary business is exploring or extracting fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. It will also divest from similar private company investments in the next 10 years, while not making any new investments in fossil fuel companies.
Ocean heat, from 1958 through 2021. Research reveals that the ocean temperatures are not rising uniformly across the planet. They found that the fastest warming is in the Atlantic, Indian, and Northern Pacific Oceans.
Abraham said that he is proud to work at a university that "embraces the clear science of climate change and the obligation to work toward solutions – from reducing on-campus emissions, to training students to be forces of change in the future."
While climate change certainly is a problem, there is also tremendous opportunity to create high-paying jobs in the clean energy sector, he said. "The future economies of the world will be built on clean energy technology. St. Thomas is playing an important role positioning our students and our nation to lead in this space."
For individuals, solutions to reduce our carbon footprint are as simple as turning out lights when leaving a room, to commuting via bus or bike, or driving electric vehicles.
"My New Year's resolution is – help the planet cool down, it's getting hot in here and there is no sign things are going to change anytime soon," Abraham said. "Collectively, we certainly have the technology to reduce greenhouse gases, but we have never really shown the will."

If you are looking at Shawnee apartments, there are a number of questions that you need to ask before you sign the lease. These questions will ensure that you find an apartment that is right for you. If you do not ask these questions when viewing shawnee apartments you could end up in a lease for an apartment which is not right for your situation.
Before you view an apartment, you are generally going to know when the lease begins. When you view the apartment you need to learn more about the lease terms. You should find out how long the lease would be for and when you would be able to move into the property. At this point, you need to find out more about the monthly rental costs and if there is a grace period for late rent. Some other lease terms that you need to ask about is if there are quiet hours or other restrictions.
moving around at night. If the apartment does not allow pets and you have one, you need to move one because trying to keep a pet in the apartment can be costly if they find out.
When you look at apartments, you need to consider renters insurance. This insurance provides cover for all of your property if there is a fire, flood or if it is stolen. Renters insurance may also cover accidents that happen within the apartment. This insurance does not generally cost very much so you might consider getting it anyway. However, you should ask about this when viewing the property because some apartments require the insurance while others do not.
When you live in an apartment, the rent will not be the only expense you have to cover. However, many property managers will include other amenities and utilities into the cost of the rent. You need to verify if this is the case or if you will need to cover these expenses over the rent.

This is a list of universities in Singapore.

Local universities

Local Autonomous Universities
There are six autonomous universities (AUs) in Singapore.

Local Publicly-Funded Private University: University of the Arts Singapore
In March 2021, Minister for Education Lawrence Wong announced that Singapore's first arts university will be established in an alliance between the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and LASALLE College of the Arts, in a system akin to the University of the Arts, London. The formation of the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS) will see both colleges under the umbrella university be given degree-awarding powers independent of their current foreign partners, where the current long-distance degrees are issued through foreign universities. Singaporeans and permanent residents (PRs) enrolled in the approved degree programmes at the university of the arts will pay subsidised fees, comparable to those at autonomous universities here.

The seventh local university of Singapore will be the only publicly-funded private university other than the now defunct and restructured UniSIM in Singapore, and also the only university of the arts with its own degree-conferring power in Singapore slated to open in 2024.

Constituent colleges:
 Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts
 LASALLE College of the Arts

Defunct universities
 Nanyang University (Merged with the University of Singapore to form the National University of Singapore in 1980.)
 SIM University (Restructured into the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and brought under the ambit of the Ministry of Education in 2017.)

Private education institutions
Private education institutions (PEIs) are regulated by the Committee for Private Education (CPE).

Press Release: Cathedral Wins QLD First Environmental Awards!
Sunday was a day of celebration at St John's Anglican Cathedral, Brisbane as the community celebrated the presentation of two prestigious Five Leaf Eco-Awards, making them the first church in Queensland to be recognised for their environmental achievements.
The cathedral received the Five Leaf Eco-Awards Basic Certificate and Eco-Worship Awards in recognition of their extensive work for the environment, including their energy efficiency measures, chicken coop and beehive, native plants, multiple worm farms and water tanks, the solar panels they installed in Beaudesert, their birdbaths around the precinct to encourage birds, plantings of bird and butterfly friendly plants, their participation in the Season of Creation, the integration of environmental themes and eco-theology into their worship services and the work the cathedral has done to promote more sustainable lifestyles in their own community, those who visit the cathedral, those who follow their social media accounts and who use their resources.
Director of the Five Leaf Eco-Awards, Jessica Morthorpe, travelled to Brisbane for the presentation.
The Very Rev'd Dr Peter Catt, Dean of the Cathedral, accepted the awards on behalf of the community.
"It is very encouraging to receive these awards, and we are keen to pursue more," he said.

Fresh Insights into Therapies for Trinucleotide Disorders
Wed, 30 May 2012 | Drug Response
More than 30 human neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease, spinocerebellar ataxias, and fragile X syndrome, involve expanded poly-glutamine [poly(Q)] repeats of trios of nucleotides, such as CAG and CGG. When they occur within coding regions of genes, the expanded poly(Q) domain may cause misfolding of the affected protein and its aggregation into visible abnormal nuclear inclusions. Repeat poly(Q) lengths are also unstable, undergoing shrinkage and expansion, in some cases involving tens of repeats, upon transmission from parent to child. Expansion of repeat lengths is associated with more severe disease, and in some cases their instability accounts for ''genetic anticipation'' in which disease symptoms in successive generations become progressively more severe.
Trinucleotide-repeat instability has been viewed largely as a matter of DNA metabolism, but recent data suggest that repeat instability may be influenced by poly(Q) protein toxicity. Jung and Bonini have shown that repeat instability can be replicated in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and they exploited this organism to better understand the mechanism of instability. Their study provided fresh insights into the role of gene transcription, DNA repair, and the potential complicity of pathogenic poly(Q) proteins that underlie repeat instability.147,148 By showing that changes in repeat length that require decades in humans could be monitored in weeks in the fly, the study opened the way for genetic analysis. Based on the idea that transcription of CAG repeats might be critical for generating instability, they reasoned that forcing a repeat-containing transgene to be active in germ cells might trigger changes in repeat length; they also expected that germline events would be transmitted from one generation to the next as occurs in ''genetic anticipation." They suspected that previous fly models that were more suitable for studying the neurodegenerative phenomenon might have failed to uncover instability because they relied on the expression of repeats in either developing or fully differentiated tissues.
To test their idea, Jung and Bonini expressed a transgene bearing 51-78 CAG repeats in germ cells, and tracked transgenes over nine generations. They found that the overall rate of instability was 20% and that the majority of changes were small, involving expansion or shrinkage of one to three CAG units. However, 10% of changes involved larger (>10) repeat expansions or shrinkages, and expansions consistently outweighed shrinkages similar to what is observed in human poly(Q) diseases.
Jung and Bonini then asked how transcription might influence the size of trinucleotide repeats. They found that fly variants deficient in transcription-coupled DNA repair dampened rates of repeat instability, while decreased levels of adenosine 3,' 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP), a protein found in poly(Q) inclusions that regulates many transcription factors, increasing repeat instability. Because the inhibitory effect of pathogenic poly(Q) proteins on CBP was thought to be due to the loss of histone acetylase activity, the investigators expected that treating flies with histone deacetylase inhibitors to normalize acetylation levels might protect against poly(Q) protein pathogenesis. They found that flies treated with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A countered the loss of CBP activity and protected against poly(Q) instability for maternal and paternal transmissions. Although trichostatin can affect multiple pathways, analysis of the pattern of repeat changes suggested that reduced instability was, at least in part, due to compensation for decreased CPB and/or histone acetylase activity because both CBP gene changes and trichostatin treatment preferentially modulated poly(Q) expansions relative to other events.
Jung and Bonini extended these findings by examining the effects of transcription and the contribution of CBP protein to models of Huntington's disease, and by examining instability in a model for CGG premutation expansions in fragile X syndrome, an unstable noncoding trinucleotide repeat. Repeat instability with germline transcription was enhanced in both models, from which they concluded that features of repeat instability, including transcriptional dependence, might be a fundamental property of trinucleotide instability seen in several disease models.
These studies recapitulate several features of human CAG repeat instability including the wide range of repeat changes and the strong bias toward repeat expansions. Finding that poly(Q) protein pathology, that is, a decrease of CBP activity via sequestration or inhibition, might enhance repeat instability was an important consequence of Jung and Bonini's work. They noted that CAG expansions occurred not only generationally, but also somatically in Huntington's disease, and pointed out that modifiers such as Msh2 modulate instability in both germline and somatic tissues. This suggested that findings with respect to germline instability might apply to somatic instability. Finally, Jung and colleagues suggested that repeat instability might be influenced by poly(Q) protein toxicity, and that treatments that restrict repeat instability might also provide an avenue to curb poly(Q) protein toxicity. Among these, histone deacetylase inhibitors are in clinical trials.149

And as you've pointed out before, it isn't even about who's the better parent any more: it's about who's the best parent, because today Johnnie or Janie may have three or more parents.
"but the fault is really with the legal system for creating a 6-year process"
What else can they do? Courts are obliged to hear everyone once, no matter if they are crazy or obviously lying. And they have a lot of cases to churn through.
Many of these disputes are about 2 fit parents each trying to show that he or she is the better parent. I think that shared custody should be automatic in such cases, and the court should not look at any evidence.
Admittedly, this case was made difficult when the actress got her husband deported, and they now live on different continents. But they have money, and could ship the kid back and forth every 6 months.
I agree with you on this on George, I'm sick of people or the media blaming the parents. The courts are designed to polarize parents even more than they already are. She should have been given as close to 50/50 as possible and then she would have had less reason to go to court.
