The most popular solution to teacher shortages? Paying teachers more
Taylor OrthSenior Survey Data Journalist
As the 2022 school year begins, school districts across the country are facing a growing problem: a shortage of teachers. Recent YouGov polling finds that 44% of Americans – including 58% of parents of school-age children – believe there is a shortage of K-12 teachers in their local area. Three-quarters of people (77%) who believe this describe the shortage as a very or somewhat big problem facing their community. Democrats (55%) are more likely than Independents (40%) and Republicans (38%) to say there is a teacher shortage in their area.
When asked about potential solutions to teacher shortages, three-quarters of Americans (73%) say they're in favor of paying teachers more. At the same time, only one in four (24%) support increasing taxes on local residents to fund schools, which is one way that districts may be able to afford salary increases. Only one in 10 people (9%) say they support paying teachers less. Parents of school-age children feel similarly about potential solutions to the teacher crisis as Americans overall do.
The poll also asked about a number of other potential responses to teacher shortages, all of which both have been proposed in parts of the country and received less support in the poll than raising teacher salaries. Some rural Texas school districts have reduced the school week from five days to four: By 40% to 38%, Americans oppose this solution. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has claimed that teaching requirements are "too rigid" and has loosened restrictions to allow veterans without degrees to teach public school. Americans aren't keen on these changes: 29% support allowing people without degrees to teach and 26% support recruiting uncertified veterans to teach.
The poll also included a series of questions on the salaries of public-school teachers, including asking Americans to estimate how much they currently are being paid and should be paid. The chart below compares median responses to these questions to actual teacher salary data taken from 2021 statistics provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The results show that Americans tend to slightly underestimate how much elementary, middle, and high school teachers are paid in the U.S. The salaries Americans say are ideal for each group of teachers come closer to matching the teachers' real-world salaries (around $61,000). While people tend to think high-school teachers should be paid more than middle- and elementary-school teachers, in reality, the salaries of these groups are relatively similar. This could, in part, reflect the nature of the survey, which provided respondents only with options in $10,000 increments and did not allow them to choose figures in between.

Saving Marcy's daughter . . . and herself
Marcy and her infant daughter arrived in our Safe Harbor Shelter after an incident where her husband hit her, accused her of cheating on him, and threatened to take their daughter from her and leave the country.
Escaping two years of abuse
Marcy had endured over two years of verbal, financial and physical abuse by her husband; but she knew that this night was different. She believed he would follow through on his threat to take her daughter. She had to protect herself and her daughter at all cost. Marcy left everything behind that night: her clothes, jewelry and car; her big house on the water; and any money she had. She was scared and unsure of what would become of her and her child, but she knew she wanted to live safely and peacefully.
The road to a new life
With the help of our dedicated shelter staff, Marcy received counseling. Our staff attorney enabled her to gain full custody of her daughter. She also received employment services and assistance finding permanent housing.
The road was long and uncertain but she persevered and, after three long months, Marcy secured a beautiful apartment for her and her daughter. She obtained a new job, a necessity since her husband knew her work location. Her family assists her with child care. Marcy reports that her contact with her soon-to-be ex-husband is now limited to effectuating court-ordered supervised visitation, and she has recently retained an attorney to begin the divorce process.

Colorful intersections are about more than art
By Brett Dahlberg • Jun 29, 2019
WXXI's Brett Dahlberg reports on the public health implications of artful crosswalks in Rochester and across the country.
Rochester's latest piece of public art has become the most recent in a series of eye-catching intersections in western New York and across the country.
It's a movement that is more than artistic. Urban designers and transportation planners say this kind of art – colorful crosswalks and engaging sidewalks – leads to safer intersections, stronger neighborhoods, and better public health.
And with pedestrian deaths in the U.S. at a 30-year high, those planners say, finding new ways to protect people from cars is becoming more urgent.
Local artist Shawn Dunwoody's keyboard-inspired crosswalk at Main and Gibbs streets in Rochester is the latest in the region's growing number of eye-catching sidewalks and crosswalks.

One of the first places the idea took form in Rochester was outside the Phillis Wheatley library on Ford Street. Bright sidewalks painted with colorful designs and kid-friendly games lead up to the library's entrance.
"It's a place where people want to be," said Jenn Beideman, who works at Common Ground Health and managed the project.
"The sidewalk is no longer just a place to get across to get into the library. It's a place to spend time, and to play," Beideman said.
The latest location is at Main and Gibbs streets, near the center of the CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival, where local artist Shawn Dunwoody oversaw the painting of crosswalks designed to resemble piano keys.
People strolling through the Jazz Fest on Thursday occasionally stopped to hop from one key to another.
People strolling through the Jazz Fest on Thursday occasionally stopped to hop from one key to another on Shawn Dunwoody's piano-inspired crosswalk at Main and Gibbs streets in Rochester.
"Like the movie 'Big,' you know, where they're playing the keyboard with their feet," said Arian Horbovetz, who blogs about urban revitalization in Rochester and across upstate New York. "You're not seeing that in a normal crosswalk. People are engaging the space."
The designs also affect life far beyond the space they cover on the ground, Beideman said.
"They bring people out," she said. "So you have more eyes on the community. You have more people taking ownership of the community, of the neighborhood. That means more people watching kids, more people watching the space."
Colorful sidewalks and crosswalks build public health and neighborhood cohesion by encouraging people to be outside, said Jenn Beideman, advocacy manager at Common Ground Health.
"It means more safety, and less crime," Beideman said.
An environment that feels safe and welcoming for pedestrians also means more people getting around in ways that don't involve cars, said Russ Martin, who directs policy and government relations for the Governors Highway Safety Association.
Colorful crosswalks create that environment, while also sending a message to drivers, Martin said.
"What we really aim to do is change the way that drivers think about other people on the road who are not drivers," said Martin. "Everyone has a right to the road."
And when infrastructure encourages active transit, like walking or bicycling, the result is public health gains, said Ruth Steiner, who directs the Center for Health and the Built Environment at the University of Florida.
"The way an urban area is constructed speaks volumes about how people will navigate it," Steiner said.
"This is not an entirely new idea, using color to indicate pedestrian-friendly spaces," she said, "but I would say I'm encountering it more often now."
Across New York, the number of such spaces is growing.
The city of Buffalo is asking residents to help decide what color a new sidewalk will be in its Allentown neighborhood. New York City's Stonewall Inn got a rainbow crosswalk outside for Pride Month. And more colorful crosswalks are slated for Rochester streets this year, with an emphasis on intersections near schools.
Connections: Innovation Friday - Pedestrian Safety
By Evan Dawson & Matthew Leonard, Editor • May 23, 2014
An Innovation Friday discussion on pedestrian safety in Rochester.
In this hour of "Connections: Innovation Friday", we take a look at how safe Rochester is for pedestrians. New data shows 47,000 people pedestrians died between 2003 and 2012, and another 670,000 were injured. One index shows Rochester as the 9th safest city in the state, but the city was also number 3 for pedestrian fatalities in the state.
What design and technology improvements can help Rochester become safer for pedestrians? We talk about this with Eric Frisch, a transportation specialist with the City of Rochester; Stefanie Seskin from the National Complete Streets Coalition; and David Vega-Barachowitz, director of the Designing Cities Initiative at NACTO.
'Walk audit' highlights active transportation in Rochester
By Brett Dahlberg • May 24, 2019
Brett Dahlberg / WXXI News
Transportation planners and advocates from around the Rochester region said they were leaving the city with some new ideas about planning for pedestrians after a so-called "walk audit" through downtown.
Mark Fenton led the audit at the invitation of Common Ground Health, a Rochester nonprofit organization. Fenton is a Brockport native and an adjunct professor at Tufts University in Boston.
"Going for a walk is a lot different than looking at drawings and talking about things theoretically," Fenton said.

Rule Number 21: The Genitive with Adjectives
The genitive case is also used with adjectives denoting desire, knowledge, memory, fullness, power, sharing, guilt, and their opposites, participles when used as plain adjectives, and adjectives ending in -āx (like tenāx and capāx). Whew, that's a mouthful. Why not watch this video and learn more?
91 rules of grammar adjectives cases nouns
Rule Number 10: What Adverbs Modify
Adverbs in Latin and English do more than just modify verbs (although that is where you will see them mostly). An adverb can also modify adjectives and even other adverbs. I'll show you how in this video.
91 rules of grammar adjectives verbs
7. Possessive Adjectives and the Genitive
We run into a bit of a problem when we want to use an adjective to modify a possessive adjective, since the personal pronoun can't be used to show possession. So instead we take that adjective and put it into the genitive case so that it agrees with the implied pronoun. It's a bit of complicated grammar, but I hope I did a good job of explaining it well.
91 rules of grammar adjectives nouns
Rule Number 6: Possession with Pronouns
The genitive of possession is not used with personal pronouns. That is, you would never describe something like this, "the house of me" (domus meī). Instead to show possession, we use the possessive adjective. So "my house" (domus mea).
Rule Number 5: The Third Person Reflexive Pronoun
The third person pronoun suī, sibi, sē, sē is used only when we are referring to the (third person) subject. And related to this pronoun is the possessive adjective suus, -a, -um, which likewise refers back to the (third person) subject.
Rule Number 3: Some Adjectives Describe Part of their Noun
The third rule of Latin grammar is that some adjectives describe just part of their noun. These adjectives are primarily superlatives, like summus or ultimus, but also include medius, ceterus, and reliquus. It's best to translate them with "of" or "part of".
91 rules of grammar adjectives
Rule Number 2: Noun-Adjective Agreement
The second rule of Latin grammar is that adjectives will agree with the nouns they describe in case, number, and gender. But this rule can lead to some interesting situations, and allows for great flexibility in Latin word order. From here comes some of the great beauty of poetry.
The Naughty Nine, UNUS NAUTA, or Pronominal Adjectives
There is a set of adjectives in the first and second declension that doesn't quite follow the standard set of rules. We call these pronominal adjectives, because they function more like pronouns than describers. But you can refer to them as the Naughty Nine, or with the mnemonic UNUS NAUTA.
adjectives feminine first declension masculine neuter second declension
Future Passive Participles
The future passive participle, also known as the gerundive, is used in the passive periphrastic in order to express obligation or necessity, and also in gerundive phrases.
adjectives participles passive voice verbs
Future Active Participles
The future active participle puts the U R in future. You will also find that this participle is used in the active periphrastic, a substitute for the future tense and also used in many situations where the future cannot happen.
active voice adjectives participles verbs
Introduction to the Latin Adjective
Adjectives add color and pizzaz to a sentence, and you can't have a Cicero without adjectives. This video covers the basic essentials to learning about how adjectives work in Latin, while leaving the specifics about declension for other videos.
adjectives introduction
Perfect Passive Participles
The perfect passive participle is the fourth principal part of the Latin verb. This video covers the formation and use of Latin's past participle, with only one bad joke about James Bond's martinis.
Participles in Latin
The participle in Latin is exceptionally important, even more so than it is in English. This video reviews the four participles of a standard verb: the present active, perfect passive, future active, and future passive (the gerundive), along with discussing how deponent verbs form their four participles.
active voice adjectives participles passive voice verbs
iste, ista, istud
The demonstrative iste, ista, istud has a lot in common with its cousin ille, illa, illud: both mean "that", both are declined in an almost identical fashion. But iste carries with it a second person nature that sometimes can be negative. That brother of yours, that video of yours...
adjectives feminine masculine neuter nouns
ille, illa, illud
That is a lot like this. This video covers the declension and use the demonstrative ille, illa, illud. That is the word which gives us the il, el, elle, le, la, los, les, and and las of the Romance languages.
Present Participles
The Latin present participle puts the NT in present. This video covers the formation and use of the present participle. It's not just all -ings (although that may be the easiest for you).
hic, haec, hoc
*This* video teaches the Latin word for "this" in all of its wonderful forms and parts of speech. hic, haec, hoc is not just a good (and popular) demonstrative adjective, but it has many substantive (noun-like) and adverbial uses.
Numbers in Latin
Numbers in Latin are as easy as one-two-three, except that the numbers one, two, and three are declined to match the same case, number, and gender as the noun they are describing. This video covers Latin cardinal numbers, the numbers we use to count.
adjectives culture feminine masculine neuter
is, ea, id
The word is, ea, id serves double duty as both a demonstrative adjective ("that") and the third person pronoun ("he, she, it" etc.). It may be little, but its size betrays its power and importance.
Ablative Absolutes
Ablative absolutes are a peculiar and unique use of the ablative case, not necessarily found in English today. With this video watched (or after this video is watched), you will be able to understand and translate ablative absolutes into properly-sounding, modern English.
adjectives cases nouns participles verbs
Third Declension Adjectives
Much like their first and second declension counterparts, third declension endings modify nouns, with which they agree in three ways: case, number, and gender. It's just that these adjectives have third declension endings, and that there are three different types of these adjectives.
adjectives feminine masculine neuter third declension
First and Second Declension Adjectives
Adjectives are always bothersome. We know they describe nouns, but in Latin they take the same case, number, and gender as the noun they modify. This can be easy if the nouns is of the same declension, but a bit more tricky if we cross declensions, where a 1st/2nd declension adjective modifies a 3rd declension noun: magnus leo.

Victims of GM Ignition Switch Crash Create A Vehicle Safety Watch List
An important announcement by The Safety Institute:"Today, The Safety Institute (TSI) announces that the Melton family will sponsor the Vehicle Safety Watch List in memory of their daughter Brooke, who died in a 2010 crash caused by a well-known ignition switch defect in her 2005 Chevy Cobalt.
"Brooke would still be alive if GM had acknowledged the ignition defect and fixed it. Brooke would be alive if the regulators had followed up on their own investigations which revealed the problem," Ken Melton said.
"It's clear to us that the accountability systems we have in place don't work as well as they should. The Watch List provides another tool, another way to look at defect trends. So, we are investing in a process that can help uncover emerging problems before they take more lives and turn into a full-blown crisis and cover-up."
Brooke Melton, 29, died when she skidded into another vehicle after the ignition module of her 2005 Cobalt slipped into the accessory position. Evidence produced in the Melton case showed that GM knew about that the ignition switch problem as early as 2001.
Brooke Melton's 2010 death was initially deemed the result of a loss-of-control crash on a rainy night. But the Meltons' persistence revealed GM's longstanding knowledge that its defective ignition module that could shift out of the run position while a vehicle is underway, turning off the airbags at the same time it is cutting off the engine power, anti-lock brakes and power steering. In February 2014, after GM reported the defect and launched a limited recall, the Meltons asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to open an investigation into GM's actions.
That investigation eventually led to $35 million in civil fines levied against GM, and nearly 15 million vehicles recalled. Congress held hearings on GM's deception and NHTSA's failures to probe the defect when it first learned about airbag deployment failures in 2007. The ignition switch defect is also at the center of a multi-district litigation (MDL).
In light of the more detailed picture that emerged, Ken and Beth Melton returned their original settlement and pursued GM for fraud to hold the automaker accountable and improve safety for all consumers. This case was settled in April." See

On January 26, 2014, an LA Times article addressed corporate and governmental failures to protect Americans and asked "what's the ordinary person to do?"
"Only oversight by a Congress and president truly devoted to the public interest, not commercial interests, can keep regulatory agencies focused on the people's business.
But when business gets its say on Capitol Hill and the White House too, what's the ordinary person to do?" See
http://articles.latimes.com/2014/jan/26/business/la-fi-hiltzik-20140126
As an ordinary person, I can say: Thank you to the Melton family and The Safety Institute.

Маркетинг на позволението () е термин въведен от Сет Годин, който се употребява по-специално в електронния маркетинг (e-marketing). Може да се приеме, че маркетингът на позволението е вид стратегия, която има за цел да получи съгласието на различни потребители или клиенти да получават маркетинг послания или оферти по електронен път. Маркетингът на прекъсването (interruption marketing) е противоположен на маркетинга на позволението. Обикновено хората, които се занимават с маркетинг на позволението, искат разрешение при всяка една стъпка от процеса на пазаруване (например изпращането на електронни известия до потенциални бъдещи клиенти). Използва се предимно от онлайн търговците, но и от такива, които желаят да изпратят каталози в отговор на направени заявки.

Маркетинг на позволението и потребители
Всеки може да бъде клиент на маркетинга на позволението. В интернет пространството се разпространяват множество реклами и информационни бюлетини за различни продукти или марки. Именно този начин на онлайн промотиране се нарича "маркетинг на позволението". Проверявайки тяхното съдържание, всеки един човек се превръща в потенциален потребител.

Някои от способите за вземане на позволение са големите намаления, различни ваучери за отстъпки или бонус точки, разпращането на различни информационни бюлетини. Когато се спечели един потребител, е редно да се проучи неговият проблем и да се предложи неговото евентуално разрешаване чрез изпращане на имейл.
Ефективен способ за задържане на вниманието на потребителите е ограничаването им в група. По този начин, маркетинг специалистът може да се съсредоточи оптимално върху удовлетворяване на техните нужди и съответно да спечели вниманието им към маркетинг посланията, които им изпраща. Чрез маркетинга на позволението се изгражда по-ефективно доверието към дадена компания или продукт. Освен това той е важен инструмент за осъществяването на стабилна връзка с клиентите, както и за изследване и проследяване на потребителското им поведение.

Bible Names N-Z: Solomon
Solomon in Easton's Bible Dictionary peaceful, (Heb. Shelomoh), David's second son by Bathsheba, i.e., the first after their legal marriage (2 Sam. 12). He was probably born about B.C. 1035 (1 Chr. 22:5; 29:1). He succeeded his father on the throne in early manhood, probably about sixteen or eighteen years of age. Nathan, to whom his education was intrusted, called him Jedidiah, i.e., "beloved of the Lord" (2 Sam. 12:24, 25). He was the first king of Israel "born in the purple." His father chose him as his successor, passing over the claims of his elder sons: "Assuredly Solomon my son shall reign after me." His history is recorded in 1 Kings 1-11 and 2 Chr. 1-9. His elevation to the throne took place before his father's death, and was hastened on mainly by Nathan and Bathsheba, in consequence of the rebellion of Adonijah (1 Kings 1:5-40). During his long reign of forty years the Hebrew monarchy gained its highest splendour. This period has well been called the "Augustan age" of the Jewish annals. The first half of his reign was, however, by far the brighter and more prosperous; the latter half was clouded by the idolatries into which he fell, mainly from his heathen intermarriages (1 Kings 11:1-8; 14:21, 31)...
https://www.bible-history.com/eastons/S/Solomon/
Solomon in Fausset's Bible Dictionary Shlomoh in Hebrew. Second child of David by Bathsheba. Josephus makes Solomon last born of David's sons (Ant. 7:14, section 2). His history is contained in 2 Samuel 12:24-25; 1 Chronicles 22:6-16; 1 Chronicles 22:1 Kings 1-11; 2 Chronicles 1-9. The leading events of his life were selected, under inspiration: namely, his grandeur, extensive commerce, and wisdom, etc. (1 Kings 9:10-10:29), from "the book of the Acts of Solomon"; his accession and dedication of the temple (1 Kings 1 - 1 Kings 8:66) from "the book of Nathan the prophet"; his idolatry and its penal consequences (1 Kings 11) from "the book of Ahijah the Shilonite and the visions of Iddo the seer." Psalm 72 was his production under the Spirit. Its objective character accords with Solomon's other writings, whereas subjective feeling characterizes David's psalms. Solomon's glorious and wide kingdom typifies Messiah's. The Nile, Mediterranean, and Euphrates, were then Israel's bounds (1 Kings 4:21; 2 Chronicles 9:26) as promised in Genesis 15:18; Deuteronomy 11:24. From thence Messiah is to reign to the ends of the earth (Deuteronomy 11:8; Isaiah 9:5-6; Isaiah 11; Zechariah 9:10; see Micah 5:4; Numbers 24:19). "The song of degrees," i.e. for Israelites going up to the great feasts at Jerusalem (Psalm 127), was also Solomon's. It has no trace of the sadness which pervades "the songs of degrees" without titles, and which accords with the post captivity period. The individual comes into prominence here, whereas they speak more of the nation and church. The theme suits Solomon who occupied chiefly the domestic civic territory. The main thought answers to Proverbs 10:22, "so God giveth His beloved sleep," i.e. undisturbed repose and wealth without the anxieties of the worldly, in a way they know not how (Mark 4:27). So God gave to His beloved S. in sleep (Hengstenberg supplies "in"); Matthew 6:25; Matthew 6:34. Jedidiah ("beloved of Jehovah," Psalm 127:2) was his God- given name (Psalm 60:5). Solomon evidently refers (Psalm 60:2) to his own experience (1 Kings 3:5-13; 1 Kings 4:20- 25), yet in so unstudied a way that the coincidence is evidently undesigned, and so confirms the authenticity of both psalm and independent history. (See PROVERBS; CANTICLES, THE SONG OF SOLOMON; ECCLESIASTES, THE BOOK OF.)...

Solomon in Smiths Bible Dictionary (peaceful). I. Early life and occasion to the throne. -- Solomon was the child of David's old age, the last born of all his sons. 1Ch 3:5 The yearnings of the "man of war" led him to give to the new-horn infant the name of Solomon (Shelomoth, the peaceful one). Nathan, with a marked reference to the meaning of the king's own name (David, the darling, the beloved one), calls the infant Jedidiah (Jedid'yah), that is, the darling of the Lord. 2Sa 11:24,25 He was placed under the care of Nathan from his earliest infancy. At first, apparently, there was no distinct purpose to make him the heir. Absalom was still the king's favorite son, 2Sa 13:37; 18:33 and was looked on by the people as the destined successor. 2Sa 14:13; 15:1-6 The death of Absalom when Solomon was about ten years old left the place vacant, and David pledged his word in secret to Bath-sheba that he, and no other, should be the heir. 1Ki 1:13 The words which were spoken somewhat later express, doubtless, the purpose which guided him throughout. 1Ch 28:9, 20 His son's life should not he as his own had been, one of hardships and wars, dark crimes and passionate repentance, but, from first to last, be pure, blameless, peaceful, fulfilling the ideal of glory and of righteousness after which he himself had vainly striven. The glorious visions of Ps 72:1 ... may be looked on as the prophetic expansion of these hopes of his old age. So far,all was well. Apparently his influence over his son's character was one exclusively for good. Nothing that we know of Bath-sheba lends us to think of her as likely to mould her son's mind and heart to the higher forms of goodness. Under these influences the boy grew up. At the age of ten or eleven he must have passed through the revolt of Absalom, and shared his father's exile. 2Sa 15:16 He would be taught all that priests or Levites or prophets had to teach. When David was old and feeble, Adonijah, Solomon's older brother attempted to gain possession of the throne; but he was defeated, and Solomon went down to Gihon and was proclaimed and anointed king. A few months more and Solomon found himself, by his father's death, the sole occupant of the throne. The position to which he succeeded was unique. Never before, and never after, did the kingdom of Israel take its place among the great monarchies of the East. Large treasures, accumulated through many years, were at his disposal. II. Personal appearance. --Of Solomon's personal appearance we have no direct description, as we have of the earlier kings. There are, however, materials for filling up the gap. Whatever higher mystic meaning may be latent in Ps 45:1 ... or the Song of Songs, we are all but compelled to think of them us having had at least a historical starting- point. They tell of one who was, in the eyes of the men of his own time, "fairer than the children of men," the face "bright, and ruddy" as his father's, So 5:10; 1Sa 17:42 bushy locks, dark as the raven's wing, yet not without a golden glow, the eyes soft as "the eyes of cloves," the "countenance as Lebanon excellent as the cedars," "the chiefest among ten thousand, the altogether lovely." So 5:13-18 Add to this all gifts of a noble, far-reaching intellect large and ready sympathies, a playful and genial humor, the lips "full of grace," and the soul "anointed" as "with the oil of gladness," Ps 45:1 ... and we may form some notion of what the king was like in that dawn of his golden prime. III. Reign. --All the data for a continuous history that we have of Solomon's reign are-- (a) The duration of the reign, forty sears, B.C. 1015-975. 1Ki 11:4 (b) The commencement of the temple in the fourth, its completion in the eleventh, year of his reign. 1Ki 6:1,37,38 (c) The commencement of his own palace in the seventh, its completion in the twentieth, year. 1Ki 7:1; 2Ch 8:1 (d) The conquest of Hamath-zobah, and the consequent foundation of cities in the region of north Israel after the twentieth year. 2Ch 8:1-6 IV. Foreign policy...

Solomon in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE I. Early Life. Solomon was the son of David and Bath-sheba, and became the 3rd king of Israel. 1. Name and Meaning: He was so named by his mother (2 Sam 12:24, Qere; see TEXT AND MANUSCRIPTS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; TEXT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT), but by the prophet Nathan, or by his father (Vulgate), he was called Jedidiah--"loved of Yahweh." The name "Solomon" is derived from the root meaning "to be quiet" or "peaceful," and Solomon was certainly the least warlike of all the kings of Israel or Judah, and in that respect a remarkable contrast to his father (so 1 Ch 22:9). His name in Hebrew compares with Irenaeus in Greek, Friedrich in German, and Selim in Arabic; but it has been suggested that the name should be pronounced shillumah, from the word denoting "compensation," Bath-sheba's second son being given in compensation for the loss of the first (but see 3, below). 2. Sources: The oldest sources for the biography of Solomon are doubtless the "Annals of Solomon" referred to in 1 Ki 11:41, the "history of Nathan the prophet," the "prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite" and the "visions of Iddo the seer," mentioned in 2 Ch 9:29, all which may be merely the relative sections of the great book of the "Annals of the Kings" from which our Books of Kings and Chronicles are both derived. These ancient works are, of course, lost to us save in so far as they have been embodied in the Old Testament narrative. There the life of South is contained in 2 Sam 12:24 f; 1 Ki 1 through 11; 1 Ch 22 through 2 Ch 9. Of these sources 2 Sam 12:24 f and 1 Ki 1; 2 are much the oldest and in fact form part of one document, 2 Sam 9 through 20; 1 Ki 1; 2 dealing with the domestic affairs of David, which may well be contemporary with the events it describes. The date of the composition of the Books of Chronicles is about 300 BC--700 years after the time of Solomon--and the date of the Books of Kings, as a completed work, must, of course, be later than the exile. Nothing of importance is gained from citations from early historians in Josephus and later writers. Far and away the best source for, at least, the inner life of Solomon would be the writings ascribed to him in the Old Testament, could we be sure that these were genuine (see below)...

Solomon in Wikipedia Solomon (Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה, Modern Shlomo Tiberian �əlōmō, Turkish: S�leyman; Arabic: سليمان Sulaymān; Greek: Σολομών Solomōn; Latin: Salomon) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, a King of Israel. The biblical accounts identify Solomon as the son of David.[1] He is also called Jedidiah in 2 Samuel 12:25, and is described as the third king of the United Monarchy, and the final king before the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah split; following the split his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone. The Hebrew Bible credits Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem,[1] and portrays him as great in wisdom, wealth, and power, but ultimately as a king whose sin, including idolatry and turning away from God, leads to the kingdom being torn in two during the reign of his son Rehoboam.[2] Solomon is the subject of many other later references and legends...

Multiple teams can finish with zero wins but only one team can finish with fifteen wins if any at all.

NEH grant will preserve Afrika Bambaataa archive
By Melanie Lefkowitz |
Ben Ortiz/Provided
Afrika Bambaataa in the Kroch Library hip-hop archive.
The Cornell University Library Hip Hop Collection will catalog the archive of Afrika Bambaataa, the groundbreaking musician, DJ and community leader known as "the godfather of hip-hop," thanks to a $260,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The grant will help the Cornell Hip Hop Collection (CHHC), part of the library's Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, to make these materials widely accessible to researchers, students and the public.
Bambaataa, who recently completed a three-year term as the CHHC's first visiting scholar, is an internationally recognized pioneer of hip-hop. He gave the genre its name and was the first to define its core artistic elements – DJing, rapping, breakdancing and graffiti art – under a single cultural umbrella. In 2007 he was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Bambaataa's archive comprises hundreds of boxes, including 450 containers with 20,000 vinyl records, many of them annotated by Bambaataa and numbered in the order he acquired them. This record collection helps tell the story of hip-hop's emergence and development. Once cataloged, the CHHC will make a complete list of Bambaataa's legendary vinyl available to the public, and place selected images of his annotated album sleeves online.
"This unique, hand-inscribed documentation by one of hip-hop's founding DJs will enable students and scholars to reconstruct hip-hop's invention through its most celebrated and influential collection of records," said Katherine Reagan, rare book and manuscript curator. "In preserving Bambaataa's archive and making it open and accessible, Cornell University Library will support a growing body of international scholars and educators who study hip-hop not only for its global influence on popular music, art and style, but its role in articulating social and political issues."
A grassroots movement created in the South Bronx by a community devastated by violence and neglect, hip-hop has grown over the past 40 years into a multibillion-dollar industry and global cultural phenomenon. Organizing, preserving and making Bambaataa's material available online will help ensure that this record of hip-hop's foundations in the black and Latino communities of the South Bronx in the 1970s will be available for scholars today and in future generations.

Athletes are prone to a lot of wear and tear on their joints, and the knees are perhaps the biggest casualty of sports. One common, chronic problem is anterior knee pain. In fact, this problem is so prevalent that it affects both athletes and those with a more sedentary lifestyle.
For those that are athletes experiencing this pain, usually it advances gradually and the athlete can't pinpoint when exactly the pain started bothering them. Others experience an injury, such as a direct hit to the area that damages the tissue, or a fall or sprain. The knee then flares up and swells to begin the process of healing. The RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) method of injury treatment is usually all that is needed to treat the knee.
For those individuals that experience the beginning of this problem in a more gradual way, treatment can be confusing since the injury can flare up, go away, and then flare up again. When athletes experience these repetition, a good course of action is to recognize the patterns and start a subsequent pain management strategy.
Further, some specific conditions and diseases can cause pain; these include Runner's and/or Jumper's Knee, chondromalacia patellae, bursitis, iliotibial band syndrome or fat pad impingement.
Anterior knee pain is different in everyone, and the different levels in pain and range of mobility can drastically vary in patients. Most patients with this condition will experience hesitation to use the knee completely, which leads to a decreased level of movement control. These factors lead to ongoing problems, and an increased rehabilitation time necessary before returning to athletics.
Luckily, the past decade has seen tremendous growth in testing, therapy and information about anterior knee pain syndrome. With these advanced methodologies, the cases of knee pain are more frequently pinpointed, and knee pain diagnosis are far more accurate than in the past. Athletes today are able to faster recognize the anterior issue, become educated about factors and causes of knee pain, and how better to treat their anterior problems, as well as what can bring knee pain relief. Whether what causes knee pain is acute, and can be directly attributed to injury, or inner knee pain and knee pain symptoms occur gradually, the causes and effect are easier dealt with today than ever before.
Besides athletes, people in everyday life situations can experience pain problems in their inner knee, and receive anterior knee pain treatment. Like athletes, patients in this group can experience both a blunt injury that causes knee pain, or a slow increase in knee pain over time. Sometimes, the gradual onset of pain is caused by a tissue breakdown that results in swelling. Other times, the tissue damage starts in another part of the body and centers in the knee. Causes of this include back problems manifesting throughout the body, nerve irritation, and general poor health. Undertaking too much physical stress on the knee can also cause anterior pain. Inflammation results, and sometimes this can be caused by chemical release from nerves rather than any sort of structural tissue damage. New technologies in imaging allow for more accurate pain diagnosis and knee therapy methods.
Anytime knee pain is attributed to a nerve causation, the treatment program is going to be more intensive and lengthy. Patients should prepare themselves for a longer course of therapy and not get frustrated at slow progress. Those with sedentary lifestyles, poor eating habits, higher stress levels and increased fatigue will require longer rehabilitation. An understanding of the brain to pain sensitivity will also help the patients recognize why their body naturally protects the anterior portion of the knee when it's damaged. Often, half the battle in pain management for the anterior part of the knee is educating the patient on the importance of the mental factors at play in their recovery, such as patience, persistence and a positive outlook.
So as you have read, pain that exists in the anterior portion of the knee can affect all people; both athletes and those with very sedentary, restful lifestyles. Causation of the pain can be both a gradual onset, increasing in severity over time, or caused by an acute, blunt injury to the site. Thanks to advances in technologies, particularly imaging functions, doctors are able to better diagnose and pinpoint the factors that cause knee pain and prescribe an appropriate course of therapy. The patients must also do their part in learning the reason for their pain, what to do about it, and how to handle it from a mental perspective as they rehabilitate their body. They also must be knowledgeable and mindful of the lifestyle factors that either caused the anterior pain initially or that can further exacerbate it or halt recovery. They must make changes in their lifestyle so their rehabilitation treatment is effective and speedy.


Meta Descriptions: how to write a meta description of ideal length?
How to write a good meta description? Confused about the ideal meta description length? Find out why you'll need to write a good meta description, and how. See the logic behind different lengths of meta descriptions. Explore what the geeks are saying. Writing an ideal meta description is not that tough!
The length of an ideal meta description can easily be considered one of the most disputed topics. We can see a real vast range of experiments with meta descriptions around - long ones measuring up to nearly four hundred characters to make room for all of your keywords, short ones keeping within the length beyond which Google crops meta descriptions, run on sentences, keyword stuffed versions, or wild attempts to draw the readers' attention. It is pretty confusing, and even some of the leading search engine optimization experts or websites do not make a harmony. God knows how I tried with almost all the types of meta description tags I listed above!
Still, trying out everything like an idiot has some advantage. You can at least know which things really work and to what extent. Here is a gist of what I learned trying to figure out how to write a good meta description and what can be called an ideal length of meta descriptions. And I came to a somewhat shocking conclusion. There is nothing like an ideal meta description length.
Yes. The length of a good meta description depends on how you are writing it, and what do you want to do with your meta description tag. Let's first see why on earth you need a meta description tag.
What's the need of a meta description tag?
Most search engines like Google show a snippet with their search results. If you provide them with a meta description tag, search engines may (yes, no assurance) show your meta description tag as the snippet instead of some random text from your article that might turn out not so user friendly. So, meta descriptions do have an impact on your search engine optimization. If you have your main keywords a few times in your meta description, chances are high that Google and other search engines will show it as the snippet. However, if you stuff with your meta description with keywords only and write useless sentences that convey nothing to your readers, that is not going to work in the longer run. You can cheat Google and other search engines for a short period of time and get ranked well, but rest assured, the fall is not far.
Here is an example of a typically bad meta description for this article.
Being on the run of getting ranked in Google and other search engines, we often forget a key thing. What next, once you are ranked in the SERP? It is equally important to turn or translate your good ranking into good traffics. Remember, there are other results on the SERP also, and being at #1 or #2 doesn't mean cent percent traffic. The reader decides whether to visit your website or a competing website by taking a look at the title and the snippet (which is mostly the meta description). Experiment to learn how to write a good meta description for your target audience. Figure out what kind of language they use. There is no thumb rule, because the target audiences for a scholarly website and a hard metal fan site are not going to love the same styles. Only you know what is your website all about. Therefore, only you can write the best meta description for it.
So, what is the ideal meta description length?
As we have seen so far, while writing a good meta description you should target your readers as much as the search engines. The ideal length of a meta description for your article is just that, which enables you to do both, and do equally well. Do not write a keyword stuffed meta description with poor languages. Do not forget all about keywords either, and like something like if you visit my site, I will be very happy, so please visit, I beg you! If you have no keyword at all in your meta description, search engines will possibly show a part of your article as the snippet rather than the meta description. You need to go for both the reader and the search engine. Let's see what is your character limits for meta descriptions for doing so.
Yes. Google crops anything beyond it and shows ellipsis (three dots). If you are smart enough to put all your main keywords within this limit, and still make it catchy and user friendly, there's nothing like keeping within this. Brevity is always the essence, and most search engine optimization websites suggest this too. SEOMoz wants you to stay within 155, and SEOCentro doesn't say anything but doesn't rate longer meta descriptions well either.
Google or any other search engines nowhere mentioned that they need to show the meta description exactly as it is. It is very likely that they can show the first and the third sentence of your meta description, by ignoring the second one altogether. Since cropped meta descriptions do not make the greatest impact on your potential readers, you can follow a cool meta description writing tip. If you go for longer meta descriptions, try to mould your sentences in such a way that the sum of the characters in any two sentences, including space, is less than Google's limit. You can afford to have slightly bigger meta descriptions thus, without being cropped out. But this needs a lot of experimenting, and if you are a busy article writer you may not always have the time and energy to sit and count every character in your meta description tag.
1. The first three sentences make exactly 155 characters and can be considered a complete snippet even if you take it out. Even if you take the last three sentences, it is within the limit.
2. Together it is 305. That's a handy length. Nowadays everyone knows about the importance of the social media. Websites like Facebook or Digg allow longer snippets so you can make good use of this.
You can thus have nearly four hundred characters in your meta description which can usually be considered the maximum length of a meta description. Nevertheless, longer characters may spoil the style of your meta description and bore your potential readers. Longer meta descriptions, if not well written, run the risk of being tagged as spam. If you are not sure what you are doing, try a shorter meta description.
Now that you know how to write good meta descriptions and what are the ideal lengths of meta descriptions, go experiment! Write them wisely!
Sir, it's illuminating ,showing me window to look through the great sunlight of communication and expression of my views with the viewers and get feedback in turn to know their side to perceive the same.
thanking you. yeh! i will start writing my emotions.
Mr. Suhas, thanks for stopping by. Pardon my ignorance, I felt your language to be pretty poetic and flowery but I simply could not make out what you are trying to convey. Could you please say that once more in layman's language?

Q: Need some help getting a pdf export to work properly I'm using a 3rd party tool (TCPDF) to export data to PDF.  If I use a form and post the data to the export php page it works fine.  However, I have another need to call the same exporter page and pass it the params it needs via ajax to output the pdf file that way.  Everything seems to be working fine, except when I get the output for the pdf it isn't opening up my pdf reader to look at it when I use the ajax call...it just leaves a blank screen.  In Firebug console I can see the output for the pdf document, its just not poping up the pdf reader like it does if I use the form and hit the submit button.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Here's my ajax code if it helps:
url = "admin.php?rst_post=y&action=exportresults&sid=123&answerid=321&filterinc=show&exportstyle=full&answers=long&type=pdf&export_from=&export_to=&convertyto=&convertnto=";

$.ajax({
    async: false,
    type: "GET",
    url: url,
    contentType: "charset=utf-8",
    complete: function(rc)
    {
        //alert(rc);
    }
});

A: Here's a working prototype that I put together.  I'm not sure if it does what you're looking for, but I think it may be close.
Assumption: I'm assuming you want it to open up in the Reader plugin for the browser.  If not, let me know and I'll adjust my answer accordingly.
Instead of using AJAX, why not dynamically add an IFRAME to you page and display the PDF in there?  Here's a working prototype:

This will load a US W-4 PDF (uggh...taxes) in an IFRAME.  I'm doing this with document.ready, but I could do this with a button click.
Let me know if this is close.  I'll update accordingly.  Hope this helps!
BTW - this blog post on Encosia was useful (it deals with ASP.NET AJAX, but the concept is the same).
EDIT: If you just want to open a new window for the PDF (since you're requesting it via a URL), you could just do this instead of an embedded IFRAME:
$(document).ready(function() {
    var url = "http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf";
    window.open(url, "_blank");
});

And if you have control on the server side, set the content-disposition header to attachment and you should get an open/save dialog.  The new window should close then.

Malta has recently released a consultation document which unveiled the plans to draft three bills to regulate Initial Coin Offerings ("ICOs"), virtual currencies and technology service providers. Through the enactment of these laws, the Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA) will be created which shall be responsible for certifying technology arrangements and Technology Service Providers ("TSPs"). The Maltese Financial Services Authority ("MFSA") has issued consultation documents with respect to the regulation of companies offering services in relation to virtual currencies and the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). If the framework becomes law, one may voluntarily ask for certification of a technology arrangement, giving flexibility and certainty. The proposed Virtual Currencies Bill will set out the rules applicable for ICOs which will be tested to determine their viability in the light of consumer protection laws, and whether a virtual currency can be considered as a financial instrument or as an asset under the new law.
Home to break-through technologies such as Skype, Estonia is one of the most tech-savvy European nations, however, to date, its plans for future DLT-legislation are limited. An Estonian government agency proposed the creation of the 'estcoin' token, which may be used to exchange goods and services in and out of Estonia, essentially blurring the boundaries between a currency and a token. European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi turned it down, stating that no Eurozone member state may introduce its own currency. Interestingly, ECB spokesperson Peter Ehrlich pointed out that, should the project be undertaken through a public-private partnership, the private element would place it outside the ECB's jurisdiction.
Gibraltar's Financial Services Commission promulgated a concise legal act which provides for the use of DLT to store data or to transmit value. The act regulates cryptocurrency exchanges, investment services and other controlled technological financial offers. The value-based regulations promote investor interest, resource maintenance, risk management, client asset protection, corporate governance, secure system protocols, financial crime prevention and liquidation contingency plans.
The Israeli Tax Authority (ITA) shed light on the taxation of cryptocurrency. It was reported that cryptocurrencies shall be subject to a 25% capital gains tax in the case of private investors, while a 47% rate for businesses applies. Companies trading in cryptocurrencies will be subject to a 17% VAT. Investors would need to report on their holdings and arrange prepayment of tax. Private investors will be exempt, since cryptocurrencies are classified as intangible assets. Interestingly, miners will be classified as dealers for VAT purposes.
The federal government has not restricted states – nor has it afforded protection to consumers. Some states have not formed an opinion on cryptocurrencies and blockchain, others have embraced them, and others have outright discouraged their use. The Uniform Law Commission brought together legal professionals to draft the Virtual Currency Businesses Act, for the consideration and eventual adoption by state legislatures. If adopted, it will not apply to entities with less than $5,000 in virtual currencies on an annual basis, but to companies specifically controlling clients' virtual currency. Unfortunately, no state has yet adopted this proposed framework.
These technologies are no longer foreign concepts, but instruments which are increasingly becoming part of our reality and which one day may very well facilitate our everyday life as they continue to become more common place. It is only a matter of time before every jurisdiction will need consider how it will regulate them. The way such technology will fit into the traditional legal framework will cause some disruption until the dust settles, however, Malta is excitingly looking to embrace and lead in such developments.


I am here to introduce you to the beautiful book; 'The Grand Mosque of Paris'.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love books.. be they of any kind.. but oh of course I run away from Horror Genre with a vengeance!
Keeping in mind, the current political situation down south of Canada, I was looking around for content which somehow would destroy the concept that 'human must and should hate each other', based on their religion. Specifically, I was searching for a book that I could share with my tween daughter.
I came across a book called 'The Grand Mosque of Paris' on amazon. A little research led me to a delightful discovery of it being available in our local Calgary Public Library!
The authors and illustrators for this amazing book are; Karen Gray Ruelle and Deborah Durland DeSaix. The fact that these are not Arabs writing this book, makes it even more interesting to me! I was fascinated to read how they will paint the story. I am sure this book will not be readily available in Asia, but let me not think about that for now…..
Though the title gives an indication of what the story is about…. By no means is the book an easy read with lots of laughter. That is why I had to sit with my 11 year old to read the book with her.
The illustrations are an art-lovers dream! The cheeky comment inside the book cover had me tickled!
I don't want to give away too much about the book, as its a lesson in history for all ages. That said, I was happy to read how people came together from different backgrounds to help each other. The love of humanity shined through all obstacles.
Hmm.. somehow the current situation in the south reminds me the similarities with this book..
I will be honest. This is a one-time read, yet it is a 'must-read' all the same! The illustrations and the fact-based history keeps you gripped to the story-line.
It is in these times of dividends, that we need to bring back lessons in humanity…and what better way than to remember our history with others through stories!
Tell me if you read this book and what did you think about it?

The human attack vector: Phishing
Cyber Tom Barton, August 24 2021
90% of attacks target the human element,
learn what to look for and how to
protect your organization.
Tom Barton
Phishing occurs when an attacker uses fraudulent communication masked as a reputable source to trick a user into performing a risky action. This attack can download malicious software or harvest sensitive data such as login information or personally identifiable information.
Cybercriminals can conduct phishing through various channels, text messaging, social media, but more often than not via email.
What is spear phishing?
Spear phishing attacks have one big differentiator from a standard phishing attack: the targeted and personalized nature of the activity. The attacks will target a specific victim and purportedly come from a known or legitimate source; this disguise will often result in the victim reacting in favor of the attacker. They are less likely to question the email's authenticity.
Spear phishing often targets an organization and begins with extensive investigation and pretexting to understand who's who within the business structure. The attacker will then try to gain access via sharing an infected file, or posing as a supplier requesting an invoice payment, or in some cases, impersonate the CEO or executive requesting an urgent transfer of funds.
Why is phishing so difficult to prevent?
Phishing is difficult to prevent as it preys on the human element of an organization and is most often initiated through email communications. The best line of defense is to train your employees to recognize the telltale signs of a malicious email. Employees are often not educated enough and will often fall for something that even a mild understanding could have prevented.
There are some key indicators that an email is a phishing attempt rather than a legitimate communication.
Emails requesting any kind of urgent response. Phishing emails will create a sense of urgency, especially if targeting employees lower down the org chart. Fear of reprisals and having to say yes to the boss can put your company's sensitive data at risk.
Spoofed links and envelopes. Hackers will attempt to disguise URLs, always hover over and never click to see if the URL is from a secure source. Some hackers may change the email address by a character or two or change the sender's name to hide a malicious email address - always check to see who the email is from.
Emails requesting personal or company information to be sent or exported is often a red flag and worth checking before hitting the send button.
Ultimately if there are any concerns about the origin of an email, it's best to call and check with the sender. This simple step will mitigate any risk of accidental loss of data or information.
How to prevent a spear-phishing attack?
Anti-spam goes some way to eliminating random phishing attacks. But this is not a single line of defense, especially when attacks become more sophisticated and targeted.
Gartner recommends three key steps:
Create and implement internal procedures for dealing with data and sensitive business information.
Adopt capabilities and technologies to detect suspected attacks
Upgrade your email gateway security and controls
Besides these elements, staff education remains essential to the protection of data and defense against phishing attacks.
What's the difference between spam and phishing?
Since the dawn of email, spam has been around - bulk junk mail from mass mailing lists that aim to fill up your inbox—companies gaining access to large email lists for individuals or organizations potentially interested in a product or service. Over time legislation, such as CAN-SPAM Act 2013 and the EU's ePrivacy Directive, has put the brakes on, but Spam is still around to this very day.
While Spam is a nuisance, it's normally fairly harmless, whereas phishing is directly trying to steal or compromise your sensitive business or personal information.
What's the difference between phishing and vishing?
Phishing and vishing have some distinct differences despite both being similar forms of cyber attacks. The main distinction is that phishing operates almost entirely via email, with attackers attempting to trick the individuals into clicking malicious links or responding with sensitive data via spoofed emails and impersonation. They are often praying on the human element and leveraging an organization's hierarchy.
Vishing attacks, however, take place via voice and verbal communication. This communication can come through phone calls and sometimes directly through desktops and laptops. Voicemails and messages are often used to prey on the target and generate a sense of urgency, masquerading as IT support or a supplier chasing an invoice in some cases.
One of the key defenses, as with most other phishing attacks, is education. Educated staff and employees aware of these forms of attacks will become vigilant and reduce the organization's risk.

Šabac, 5 June 2013 – HE Vincent Deger, Head of the EU Delegation to the Republic of Serbia, Mr. Dusan Mrakić, State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy, Development and Environment, Mr. Milos Milosevic, Mayor of Sabac and Mr. Branislav Nedimović, Mayor of Sremska Mitrovica have visited today the new Sabac transfer station, as well as the Srem – Mačva regional landfill and officially announced the launch of both units.
The total value of the regional sanitary landfill is €6.32 million. It is funded by €5.02 million from the EU, the cities invested €1 million, whereas €3 million was provided by the former Environmental Protection Fund. The newly established regional company "Regional Landfill Srem-Mačva" will become operational in the next few months. The existing dumps sites in the territory of Sremska Mitrovica and Sabac failed to provide sanitary measures. This project has enabled the construction of one of the largest regional landfills in Vojvodina and Macva District that will provide environmental disposal of waste for over 209.000 citizens. In addition, the solid waste management plan will have long lasting positive effects on biodiversity of the Sava River basin.
The wastewater treatment plant is currently under construction in Sabac. The construction site is located near Sabac transfer station, and the total value of the project amounts to €18.562 million, of which the nearly €10 million was provide through the EU IPA funds.
The cities of Sremska Mitrovica and Sabac, through the EU-funded MISP programme, were awarded grants for the construction of two major municipal infrastructure projects in the field of environmental protection, in the total amount of more than €25 million: construction of the regional landfill Srem Mačva and construction of the wastewater treatment plant in Sabac. Furthermore, in cooperation with the EU MISP program two documents were developed: communication plans for Sremska Mitrovica – Sabac Solid Waste Management Scheme and Sabac Wastewater Treatment project. The communication strategy development was funded through EU technical assistance to the construction projects of the regional landfill and the wastewater treatment plant. The communication plans are aimed at educating local population on environmental issues, emphasizing the importance of recycling, primary waste selection, the importance of connecting to the sewer network, and the environmental protection of the Sava River basin. Within the "Don't get Serbia dirty" campaign MISP has prepared an educational film on environmental protection, TV commercials, radio commercials and graphic design for billboards and posters.
The "EU Green Day" which was held in Sabac is an outdoor event during which the citizens were presented with publications on environmental protection at the the stalls of the EU Information Centre and the EU Delegation. There was also a "Openly on Europe" video booth where people were able to say what they would like to see improved in their environment and send a message to the EU. The youngest visitors were drawing "My green planet," took part in the EU Ground that represents a kind of European games with no borders and verified their knowledge of environment protection in an interactive quiz. This action also represents the start of the environmental protection promotion which will last until the end of June, and will be marked in a series of events by the EUD and Euinfo Center.
MISP (Municipal Infrastructure Support Programme), financed by EU and managed by the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Serbia, assists municipalities in Serbia in the preparation of project documentation and implementation of municipal infrastructure projects. MISP is focused on supporting environmental and economical projects (drinking water, waste water treatmant, solid waste management, sheltered housing, education facilities, tourist sites and industrial zones). Since 2005, more than 14 projects with a total value of over 65 million Euros have been implemented.
