Individuals with autism have social deficits. This manifests in an inability to pick up on social cues or situations. It's like a person who is color blind. Everyone around him can see a number in one of those color blindness tests but not him. The classroom is a social setting filled with social cues. A student with autism can easily miss out on important information. Here's a link to a social experiment showing the difference in focus of individuals with autism.

Firstly, we drew the structure of the robot. Then we created the structure with metal and plastic and we assembled the different parts for the legs and the body. We also built the circle to hold the dome. Finnally, we assembled the parts for the tail.
We need to build the dome for the body. We need black wool for the body and we need orange plexi for the tail. We need to do the decoration of the head and the set square to fasten the body on the circle. We need the selfistick button bluetooth and link the phone with that.

Full-time Fort Collins City Council: A solution in search of a problem
There is no compelling argument for elevating service on the City Council to a full-time job with attendant full-time pay and benefits.
Full-time Fort Collins City Council: A solution in search of a problem There is no compelling argument for elevating service on the City Council to a full-time job with attendant full-time pay and benefits. Check out this story on coloradoan.com: https://www.coloradoan.com/story/opinion/2019/03/29/full-time-fort-collins-city-council-solution-search-problem/3311010002/

Change can be good, but change for change sake can be foolhardy.
Take the Citizen-Initiated Charter Amendment No. 1 on your Fort Collins city ballot. It calls for the creation of a full-time City Council with commensurate compensation.
Before getting to the main reasons why this is ill-advised, let's address the fact that the main proponent of this measure is also running for City Council. Is the objective here really to fix something that's broken or provide a known community activist with a full-time, taxpayer-funded job?
I'll stop short of ascribing motives, but it's not a good look.
There are many reasons why this is a bad idea, but here are the five main reasons for opposing Charter Amendment No. 1.
First, this is a "solution" in search of a problem. Look around you. Does Fort Collins look like a community in crisis?
On the contrary, it is one of America's most vibrant and livable places. So what are they trying to fix? Proponents have failed to define a problem.
Second, City Council is a public service. If we were a big city like Denver, Chicago, or Dallas, service on the council might be full-time. In Fort Collins, Colorado, the job of city council is definitely not full-time. On the contrary, the volunteer-servant leader model has served us well.
Charter Amendment No. 1 would be a fundamental change to city government and the community. We would change from volunteer leaders to full-time paid politicians.
Do you actually think the quality of the decisions would be any better under this new model?
Third, pay is not a barrier. Proponents of this measure say low council pay limits who can run. The evidence says otherwise.
Single moms, pregnant women with jobs, retirees, married fathers with school-aged children, professors, and self-employed people have served on the City Council from recent memory. Then look at the large number of people currently running. There's no real barrier.
Fourth, this will get expensive. There's the pay and benefits for council members, but that's just the beginning. The work of seven full-time people will add an administrative load to City Hall necessitating support staff.
Here's betting a small staff in the beginning will grow over time. Looking at big city councils, it's conceivable that in time every council member would have their own staff.
Then there's the expense of seven people working full-time to justify their pay. Fees, regulations, and new ordinances would pour forth, all with direct or indirect costs to residents.
Fifth, this is a charter change. Automatic and inflexible pay increases will be built into our key governing document. There may be other pressing issues that need money, but the council members get paid first.
Aside from what could be construed as self-interested motives of proponents, there is no compelling argument for elevating service on the City Council to a full-time job with attendant full-time pay and benefits.
Charter Amendment No. 1 is a non-solution in search of a non-existent problem.

The Adventures of Robin Hood is een Amerikaans-Britse televisieserie, die officieel draaide van 22 september 1955 tot 26 september 1960. De serie was een van de langstlopende series uit die tijd, met in totaal 143 afleveringen. De serie werd gefinancierd door de Incorporated Television Company (ITC) op de buis gebracht.

De serie neemt de Robin Hood-legende als bron van inspiratie, maar de producers hebben hier veel eigen verhalen en elementen aan toegevoegd om op een totaal van 143 afleveringen te komen. De serie genoot vooral zijn bekendheid door de openingstune. Gecomponeerd door Carl Sigman, en gezongen door Dick James.

Verhaal
De serie volgt Robin Hood, een voormalige Brits edelman die door onrecht zijn titel is kwijtgeraakt en sindsdien als misdadiger te boek staat. Hij houdt zich met een groot aantal andere "misdadigers" op in de bossen van Sherwood. Samen werken ze de corrupte edellieden tegen door hun rijkdommen te stelen en deze onder de armen te verdelen.

Hood's voornaamste tegenstander is de Sheriff van Nottingham, die elke mogelijke manier aangrijpt om Robin Hood en zijn bende te vangen. Robin heeft een oogje op Lady Marion, een edeldame die Robin geregeld van informatie over de sheriff en zijn plannen voorziet.

De afleveringen worden gekenmerkt door heldendaden, spectaculaire ontsnappingen en achtervolgingen, en gevechten. Tevens bevat de serie veel historische lessen. De producers hadden speciaal voor de serie experts op het gebied van Britse geschiedenis ingehuurd.

Een ander kenmerk van de serie is dat behalve de hoofdpersonages ook de bijpersonages een sterk uitgewerkte persoonlijkheid hebben.

Cast
 Richard Greene – Robin Hood
 Victor Woolf – Derwent
 Archie Duncan – Little John
 Alexander Gauge – Friar Tuck
 Alan Wheatley – Sheriff van Nottingham
 Paul Eddington – Will Scarlet
 Donald Pleasence, Hubert Gregg en Brian Haines – Prince John

Productie
The Adventures of Robin Hood werd geproduceerd door Hannah Weinstein, een lid van de Hollywoodtak van de Communistische Partij van de Verenigde Staten. Weinstein huurde veel Amerikaanse schrijvers in die op de zwarte lijst van Hollywood stonden, waaronder Ring Lardner Jr., Waldo Salt, Robert Lees en Adrian Scott. Howard Koch, die ook op de zwarte lijst stond, werd ingehuurd als script editor. De schrijvers gebruikten allemaal pseudoniemen om te voorkomen dat ze zouden worden ontmaskerd.

De titelsong van de serie werd gecomponeerd door Carl Sigman en ingezongen door Dick James. Het lied werd ook uitgebracht als single door Gary Miller.

Artdirector Peter Proud, een expert op het gebied van oorlogscamouflage, kwam met het idee veel van de decorstukken en rekwisieten op wielen te zetten zodat de set snel kon worden aangepast. Voor de serie werden 140 sets gebruikt, allemaal verdeeld in kleine stukken die makkelijk uitwisselbaar waren.

There's an over-familiar quality to this movie about an elderly man coming to terms with his mortality that is both exacerbated and dismissed by its Indian setting. The story's particulars—a man's reckoning with the inevitable, his son's reactionary intransigence, the comic second act that attempts to soften the blow of death before giving in to its terrifying inevitability—don't differ substantially from other films of this sort, but by placing it all in the context of the holy city of Varnasi on the sacred Ganges River, it becomes more edifying, even, presumably, to Hindus.
The old man, Daya (Lalit Behl), is a grumpy former school teacher who realizes one day, despite what seems exceptionally fine health, that his time has come. He lives with his son, Rajiv (Adil Hussain), and Rajiv's wife and college-age daughter, in an arrangement that is civil but hardly comfortable. Rajiv is the kind of nervous businessman who can't stop thinking of work even when more pressing family problems come forward, like his father's insistence on traveling to Varnasi so that he will be there when he dies. As it happens, there's a hotel there that caters to such needs, though there's a time limit to how long a guest can stay. If the guest does not die within this time period he has to leave, or re-register under a different name.
Rajiv, under the impression that it would not look good if he let his father go on his last journey alone, grudgingly accompanies Daya to Varnasi, where he will attend to his business by remote devices that don't always work the way they're supposed to. Complicating the matter is the fact that his daughter, Sunita (Palomi Ghosh), has been promised to another in an arranged marriage but is resisting mightily. Rajiv's wife, Lata (Geetanjali Kulfarni), accuses Rajiv of "taking a vacation" and leaving her to deal with this domestic crisis by herself. Needless to say, while in Varnasi, Rajiv has much to distract him, which is fine with Daya, who didn't want him to come in the first place.
Director Shubhashish Bhutiani has obviously seen enough Western movies to understand how these kind of uncomfortable situations can be spun into comedy, but by presenting them in what is basically a documentary about the traditional Hindu way of dying he raises not only the film's profile as a work with something to teach, but also its dramatic potential. As days turn into weeks and Rajiv is forced to improvise in order to be with his father on his deathbed but also keep his family and livelihood afloat, we meet others in similar situations whose contrasting experiences give the story a fully realized, multidimensional character. And like a good orchestra conductor, Bhutiani brings it all to a harmonious coda that is satisfying without being predictable. It's a subtle film that truly earns its sentiments.

Our District Three Supervisor & Board President, David Chiu, heartily endorses our efforts. We thank Supervisor Chiu for his statement of support in his April 2012 Newsletter.
Summer Recreation Scholarships We are pleased to spread the word that for the 3rd year in a row, Friends of Golden Gateway (FOGG) will sponsor a scholarship program to send young people from low-income housing in Chinatown and South of Market to the Golden Gateway Tennis & Swim Club's summer Kids Camp that begins in June and lasts through August.

Founder/Director Moral Fairground, Creator of Ethical Enterprise Conference
Susanna Bevilacqua's career spans over twenty years in the banking industry, most recently working with Bendigo Bank as the Community and Business Development Manager. Her role entails working with local communities in the metropolitan area to empower them to create sustainable income streams to support local initiatives via the Bendigo Bank Connected Communities model.
In 2009 after visiting some of the poorest countries and communities in South East Asia and witnessing first hand the working conditions and environmental impact of mass consumerism, Susanna established Moral Fairground with the aim to build awareness and educate about ethically, socially responsible and environmentally aware businesses through a series of events.
Susanna's aim was to create opportunities for people from all walks of life to connect with fair trade and ethical businesses and therefore launched Fair@Square in 2009, now the largest fair trade and ethical festival in Australia. The event which now attracts over 78,000 visitors allows consumers to learn about the impact of their purchases and how every individual can contribute towards a sustainable and more transparent society.
Moral Fairground is a member of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand and also hosts the Victorian Fair Trade Festival during the Fair Trade Fortnight every year with a number of activities spanning over the two weeks.
In 2013 Moral Fairground launched the national Ethical Enterprise Award in partnership with Australian Ethical. The award was born out of a desire to recognise and celebrate the achievements of Australia's most inspirational enterprises. The Award recognised enterprises that have a positive social and economic impact through innovative ethical business practices.
Moral Fairground is now endeavouring to build a community of like minded ethical businesses via it's membership base, that are willing to support each other in order to grow the ethical sector.

Anisogaster flavicans is een keversoort uit de familie van de boktorren (Cerambycidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1863 door Deyrolle.

Luke 4:18 -19 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour."
Year of Jubilee – every 70 years every piece of property reverts to the original owner.
Go back to your original relationship with the Lord and evaluate where your focus is?
The ultimate gift anyone can receive is a restored relationship with Jesus Christ. No matter who you are and where you are from having a relationship with Jesus is good news. The poor in this context is not the materially poor but its anyone who does not have an intimate relationship with Christ. Often, when we are at our lowest point in life and have no more resources we turn to Christ. Once this happens we experience the restoration of the joy of the Lord. As believers that should be our goal to restore relationships with Christ and not just focusing on a social Gospel because then we are no different from the world around us. Any ministry must take place with the goal of sharing the good news of the gift of eternal life.
2. Jesus proclaims liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind.
True freedom is found in a restored relationship with Jesus, who offers forgiveness and grace. This enables those who are his followers to experience the peace and liberty that only comes from knowing Him. This relationship helps Christians to cope with many difficulties and discouragement and keep a positive perspective. Our goal should be to share this knowledge and relationship with as many as is possible and so church becomes more about those who do not know Christ and less about what makes his followers comfortable. As a women's ministry we should be creating opportunities for our local woman to share their faith journey with those who do not know Christ.
3. Jesus offers liberty to those who are oppressed.
This freedom that comes from Jesus is not about political freedom, but this refers to an internal freedom that comes from a relationship with him. As his children we experience the freedom from oppression because he gives us that peace to live day by day with the difficulties that we face. He expects his children to live and treat each other in a God honouring way that is set out for us in the Bible. Micah 6:8 "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." is a verse that clearly instructs Christ followers on how to treat each other on a daily basis.
4. Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord's favour.
In the Old testament the year od jubilee was the year that property that had been sold was returned to its original owner and that which was loss or forfeited was returned. As Christ followers we live with this blessing daily as our relationship has been restored to before the fall of Adam. Once we accept Jesus we experience the Lord's favour in a new relationship with Him.
As a women of God it is important to live with these truths in mind and be motivated for ministry so that we can led others to experience the blessings we have received through Jesus Christ.

Paris was amazing. It never disappoints me. Worked a lot and played some, what could have been better? I do have several fun posts to get up over the next week. I am going to start with some shots of the two places that I adore the most in a city where there's so much to adore. The Pont des Arts and the bibliotheque de Mazarin.
I have wonderful memories of the bibliotheque de Mazarin from my student days in Paris. It is where I went almost every afternoon to study after class. It was also the building next to the apartment where we stayed on the Quai de Conti. I have to say an apartment on the Quai de Conti is very easy to get used to.
Of course in front of the Mazarin is the wonderful foot bridge, the Pont des Arts. It was drizzling and the reflection of the lights on the bridge was very poetic. To complete the scene someone had left a dozen white roses on the bridge. Perhaps they were lovers, and had just added another padlock to the bridge, as they do in Paris.
A couple crossing the bridge, I wonder what their story is?


The Firewall is the most basic security element to hide your network from the outside and control all external access points (also known as ports). It lets you block unwanted activity and protect your network.You can build a list of rules that meets your unique needs—control traffic by protocol, source address or port, destination address or port, and set default actions.
Firewall evaluates traffic traveling across your network by applying your rules until a block/pass verdict is reached or a default action is taken.


We regularly carry out surveys to gather evidence and feedback for our reports. These surveys are usually aimed at specialist groups with knowledge of a very specific area. Often such surveys are sent direct to the relevant audience as they are small and relatively easy to identify.
We also run surveys asking for users' experience of a particular public service. As the audience for such surveys can be wide and not easy to identify we will publicise them in a number of ways for example using the homepage of this website; Twitter and emails.

Nineteen-year-olds enter college telling themselves that they can party from Thursday night to Sunday night and drink to excess; that they can have casual sex without consequences; that these activities are all part of the college experience; and that all will be well because they're adults and can handle their own lives.
But they can't. There will be problems. Believe me, I have taught college students – from freshmen to seniors – for nearly thirty years. I'm a parent too.
One of the major problems is rape. Two recent films, The Hunting Ground (2015) and It Happened Here (2014), show how rape on college campuses can be attributed to alcohol and drug consumption and the promiscuous party culture. They also describe the impact of sexual assault on the intellectual, emotional, and physical well-being of victims, perpetrators, and their families.
For some college students, the trauma of being sexually assaulted can be especially severe. The Hunting Ground profiles a Notre Dame student who was raped by another student. After she reported the rape, the university seemed to blame her for the incident. It's devastating to watch the girl's father discuss the circumstances and the school's lack of response, revealing only at the end of his comments that his daughter took her own life.
Conditions at some schools are worse than at others. William D. Cohan's The Price of Silence suggests that pricey schools where almost everyone lives away from home are the most egregious. Although the book focuses on the Duke lacrosse scandal, which seems to have been fabricated, the final chapter offers a survey of sexual assault scandals at many other elite schools.
The hookup culture has come to dominate college experience. It has fueled an epidemic of alcoholism, campus rape, and suicide.
In December 2014, the Department of Justice reported that an estimated 110,000 American women between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four are raped each year. Many of these women are students in college. Those most at risk of being raped are college freshmen. Younger students tend to be overly trusting. They believe the myth that rapists are strangers, even though statistics show that 85 percent of rapes are committed by acquaintances.
Jon Krakauer's book Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town shows the misery heaped on girls who cry rape. Krakauer follows five rape cases that occurred at the University of Missoula between 2010 and 2012. Each alleged perpetrator was a member of the football team. Both victims and perpetrators had been drinking heavily.
Krakauer shows how reports of rape tend to be dismissed – unlike reports of other violent crimes – especially if the rapist is an athlete. Worse, when the women reported being raped, they were disbelieved. Football fans denounced the victims on Twitter – calling them sluts and liars. Defense lawyers used ad hominem attacks to vilify the victims. They said the women were drunk and did not clearly state that they did not want to engage in sex, or that they somehow asked for it, or that they didn't feel appreciated because the men did not seem interested in having a relationship. No wonder that 80 percent of women who are sexually assaulted do not report the assault.
The five women in Krakauer's book did report the rape – some right away, others who were more fearful of repercussions waited several months. The results followed statistical patterns. Only in one case was the rapist jailed, and that because of a plea bargain, resulted in little actual jail time.
According to professor, counselor, and researcher Donna Freitas, the hookup – casual sex with no commitment – has come to dominate the college experience. It has also fueled the current epidemic of alcoholism, campus rape, and suicide.
Religion has almost no influence on students' behavior.
Freitas first examined the hookup culture in her 2008 book Sex and the Soul: Juggling Sexuality, Spirituality, and Religion on America's College Campuses. She continued her examination in her 2014 book, The End of Sex. In 2015 she published an updated edition of Sex and the Soul. According to Freitas, the sex scene on college campuses has grown even bleaker than it was seven years ago.
Freitas interviewed and collected journal entries from 111 students and surveyed more than 2500 undergraduates from seven different colleges: nonreligious private and public, Catholic, and Evangelical. What she learned was that religion had almost no influence on students' behavior. Drunkenness, promiscuity, and the sexual hookup were the norm – except in Evangelical schools where shared Christian values predominated.
Many students said they felt demoralized and depersonalized by hookup sex. Almost all of them felt that they had to take part in what was considered the full college experience (i.e. the party scene). They also wanted to fit in with everyone else. Wanting intimacy and relationships, most of them said they had to settle for hookups. Interestingly, only one student out of the 2,500 in Freitas' survey used the words "making love" when referring to sex.
In an afterword to the 2015 edition, Freitas proposes that all first-year college students be required to attend discussions about sexual assault on campus. Navigating new territory between adolescence and adulthood, college freshmen often live in co-ed dorms, where their risk of being raped increases. If they drink alcohol or take drugs, their risk increases eightfold.
Freitas, Krakauer, and the others say little about the influence of parties on students' coursework. Yet obviously students who are hung over or stressed or feeling guilty cannot function at their best academically. Alcohol, drugs, and sex affect students' ability to think, concentrate, and even get out of bed. This can be seen in students' grades and in the dropout rate, especially among college freshmen. In her memoir, Blackout, Sarah Hepola describes feeling less than human as she woke up in bed after having had sex with a boy whose name she didn't even know. As she staggered bleary-eyed back to her dorm, she took what she calls "the walk of shame," embarrassed to face her fellow classmates. One wonders how she was able to perform in class.
Colleges aim to teach students to think critically. Yet many of today's college students are doing anything but.
Many students feel that they should avoid committed relationships. Parents often advise them to wait until their late twenties before entering into a serious relationship. So, many students take to the casual hookup. Some find themselves getting attached to the person with whom they've been intimate. But hookups are supposed to be unattached. One term for the hookup is "friends with benefits," meaning that those having sex are merely friends. But then sometimes the woman becomes pregnant. Sometimes, she wants to bear her child but the man prefers abortion.
College students worry about drowning in debt. Even at state universities, costs for tuition, room, and board can run upwards of $35,000 per year for out-of-state students and $20,000 for those in state. Costs for commuter students are much less. Most of these students live at home and have jobs. They often help their parents pay their tuition. Although some of these students complain about not having the full college experience, circumstances like having jobs and living at home can help them keep the hookup culture at a distance. But since promiscuity is endemic in our society, the problem exists at least to some extent at most schools.
Ultimately, colleges aim to teach students to think critically and to become lifelong learners. Professors tout some version of Socrates' ideal that "the unexamined life is not worth living." Yet many of today's college students are doing anything but examining their lives. The hookup culture promotes the wasted life – to say nothing of wasted time and money. This is the disconnect that exists between colleges and many students. Freitas, Krakauer, and others don't do much more than point out the problem, although that is a necessary first step. I agree with Freitas that the hookup culture damages students' souls, and, like her, I think of soul in a broad sense as in spiritual, emotional, and intellectual self.
Until recently, colleges often ignored reports of sexual assault on campus. But allegations increased. Victims spoke out. Then the federal government expanded Title IX laws. As a result, colleges have been forced to become more concerned with victims (and those claiming to be victims) of sexual assault in order to retain their federal funding. In October 2015 the White House Council on Women and Girls announced a campaign against campus sexual assault. The campaign ranges from suggestions for bystander intervention to telling parents to ask questions about the college's position on reported rape cases.
Parents must keep the doors of communication open. College kids need their parents to advise and help them.
But the government can only do so much. Ultimately, it's the parents' job to take care of their kids. They need to teach their kids basic values when they're very young, if only to keep them out of the hospital emergency room and even out of jail. They need to teach them that too much alcohol makes people sick in more ways than one. It also "makes" people act irresponsibly towards themselves and others.
College students generally don't yet have the judgment to succeed without help. Caught up in their newfound freedom, they tend to forget the true purpose of a college education. And they're normal, red-blooded kids. Their hormones are raging. While they need a certain freedom, they also need their parents to advise them, help them, and keep an eye on them. They need to be able to go to their parents or another trusted adult for help, and parents must keep the doors of communication open.
People may say you're a helicopter parent. Don't worry about that. There are worse things to be. Worry about your kids – and pray for them. I believe that my own kids owe a large part of their success, health, and well-being to my prayers. Whatever else you do, stay in contact with your college kids. They may give you a hard time, argue, and insist that they're adults. This is just bravado. If they're adults, they're very young, inexperienced adults. And they need you.
