Shelter 'marries' bonded pair of senior dogs to help get them adopted together
AUGUSTA, MAINE (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - Senior dogs Jack and Diane will be eating kibble together for better or worse.
The mixed-breed pair of pooches have been calling the Kennebec Valley Humane Society in Augusta, Maine home since August 2018 when they were found as strays in a cemetery. They are bonded, which means they must find a loving home willing to take both of them.
But as adorable as they are, they've been passed over for adoption since coming to the shelter.
So, the shelter staff decided to 'marry' the two in hopes of raising awareness to potential adopters.
The Kennebec Valley Humane Society held a wedding ceremony at the shelter, complete with a veil for Diane and a tuxedo collar for Jack.
"Our blushing bride and handsome groom may be considered 'seniors', but they will forever be young at heart!" said the shelter in a Facebook post. "And you know where they'd like to go for their honeymoon? Home."
Director of Operations Stevanie Roy tells Fox 35 that the furry duo is still up for adoption.
"We haven't had any applications placed on them. We do same day adoptions so we are just waiting for the right people to come by to meet them."
Roy says Jack is around 10-years-old and Diane is about 7-years-old. Although they've only been 'married' February 6, they act like an old married couple, with Diane clearly wearing the pants in the relationship.
"They need a quiet retirement home with no other animals - to live their lives out being spoiled with comfortably beds, plenty of treats, and unlimited amounts of love."

For example, he often initiates civic activities, supports academic institutions and associations, and is always willing to help when people ask for his support, be it small or large-scale. With Lothar Späth as Chairman of the Supervisory Board (1998 - 2012), Herrenknecht AG became a global champion in tunnelling technology.
Martin Herrenknecht expressed his thanks for the award and for the kind words of Lothar Späth and said: "Networking educational institutions and research facilities from Karlsruhe via Strasbourg to Basel in an intelligent and targeted way is the smartest and best thing we can do to overcome the tough competition." In this way, young people in the region are also given a place where they can fully develop and build up exciting professional, business or scientific perspectives for the future.
In 35 years, the businessman Martin Herrenknecht from Baden has built up a global company with more than 4,000 jobs and 200 training positions. As a private citizen and entrepreneur, Dr.-Ing. E. h.

Police: Recent robbery eerily similar to DFW airport kidnapping
The FBI and DFW Airport police are taking a close look at a violent aggravated robbery of a diamond dealer in Arlington last week. They want to know if it's connected to a kidnapping and homicide near the airport Thursday afternoon.
Surveillance video shows last week's dramatic robbery play out, where thieves robbed the diamond dealer from New York as he was gassing up his rental car on the way back from the DFW airport.
Police say the circumstances are eerily similar to the details of Thursday's crime that left a 42-year-old man dead.
The man robbed in Arlington last Thursday spoke to FOX 4 by phone but didn't want to be identified. He said he was inside a gas station on East Pioneer Parkway he noticed a gold-colored Chevy Impala pull up next to his car at the pump.
"Somehow my eyes were always on that car," he explained.
As he begins to pump gas, the car he saw pulls up quickly. The doors fly open and two men wearing masks jump out with guns.
"I immediately realized he's coming after me so I just ran from there towards the gas station store so I could go inside and I'll be safe," he said.
As one masked man chased the dealer, another stole some paperwork from his car and slashed his tires.
From another angle, a clerk inside the store is seen holding the door closed as the men outside struggled.
The clerk said he kids were inside and. He said he was trying to protect them and other customers.
"He smashed me from the back and he started assaulting me," the jewelry dealer said. "He was trying to open my jacket and he tore off my shirt."
The masked man gave up and ran back to the car and sped off.
Could the case be related to the attempted carjacking, kidnapping and murder of a 42-year-old businessman near the DFW airport? Investigators think so.
The FBI and DFW airport police believe the murder victim on Thursday was also followed. He was also gassing his rental car on the way to the airport. And police say as that man saw people breaking into his car, he tried to stop them. Witnesses say they drove away with him hanging out of the window. He was found later along Northgate Drive and died at a hospital.
"There is some definite similarities in the two offenses," said Lt. Chris Cook with Arlington police. "So at this point, we can't say as a definite that they're going to be related. But there's definitely good intelligence to point that this could possibly be some linkage in those two cases."
The dealer said he had more than $50,000 worth of diamonds on him that the crooks didn't get.
"Maybe next time I go to Dallas, I'll have to have a security guard with me," he said.
DFW Airport police have not released any new details in the Thursday incident. The Dallas County Medical Examiner has not yet identified the homicide victim.


JAKARTA, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Abu Bakar Bashir, the radical Muslim cleric and alleged mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombings, will be granted early release from jail on humanitarian grounds, Indonesia's president said on Friday.
Bashir, 81, who is considered the spiritual leader of the Islamist group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), was convicted in 2010 under anti-terrorism laws for links to militant training camps in Aceh province and jailed for 15 years.
President Joko Widodo, who is seeking re-election in April, has been criticized by opponents who question his Islamic credentials and accuse him of backing the "criminalisation" of clerics.
"The first reason is humanitarian. He is elderly and his health is also a consideration," Widodo told reporters, according to a statement from the social affairs ministry.
Widodo also cited security concerns, but he did not elaborate.
A legal adviser in Widodo's campaign team, Yusril Mahendra, said he had lobbied the president for Bashir's release.
"This shows to the public that it is not correct that Jokowi persecutes or criminalises clerics," Mahendra was quoted by Indonesia media as saying. Jokowi is the president's nickname.
A large number of the more than 200 people killed in the 2002 bombings of Bali nightclubs were Australian and Canberra has previously urged against leniency for Bashir.
The attack spurred Indonesia to set up its now elite anti-terrorism squad Densus 88 or Detachment 88, which received funds and training from Australia and the United States.
It was not immediately clear when Bashir would be released from prison in Bogor, a satellite city near the capital Jakarta, or what the terms of his release would be.
Bashir's lawyers said he was eligible for early release because he had served more than a third of his sentence, but he had refused to sign documents detailing the requirements for his probation.

New homes in Frome
Welcome to Frome
From independent boutiques to historic sites, performing arts and a bustling local market, it's no wonder that the Somerset town of Frome crops up so regularly in the 'best places to live in the UK' lists. If you're looking for a place with bucketloads of personality and good transport links to Bath, Salisbury and beyond, a new home in Frome could be the right choice for you.
A quick history
The history of Frome dates back to Roman times, and in 2010 a hoard of 3rd century coins were discovered buried in a field close to the town. During Saxon times a monastery was built, and by the time the Domesday Book was written, Frome was one of the wealthiest places in Somerset.
Hales Castle was built after the Normans arrived in Britain, but only the earthworks can be seen today. During the 15th century Frome manufactured woollen cloth, which saw the town prosper even more. Later a bell foundry was established in the town, and became one of Frome's biggest employers.
Although the last wool mill closed in the 1960s, Frome still has a proud manufacturing heritage with printing and metal-working still part of the local economy to this day. Most people who live in Frome commute for work, to cities such as Bath, Bristol and Warminster. Some of the biggest employers in Bath include Rotork PLC and Wessex Water, while Bristol is home to Aardman Animations, Aon Hewitt and the Department for Work and Pensions.
There's lots to see and do in Frome, from shopping at The Frome independent monthly market, to browsing the exhibitions at Rook Lane Arts and seeing a show at Frome Memorial Theatre. The town also has a lively calendar, with a large number of annual events including the Frome and Agricultural Cheese Show, Frome Festival and Frome Christmas Extravaganza.
Other places of interest close to Frome include Nunney Castle, Shearwater Lake, Farleigh Hungerford Castle and East Somerset Railway. If you have children, Longleat Safari Park is close by, where you can see giraffes, rhinos, tigers, monkeys and much more.
If you want a more tranquil day out, Orchardleigh Golf Club is close to the town, while Brokerswood Country Park, Southwick Country Park and Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are ideal for a breath of fresh country air.
Travel and commuting
Frome has good transport links by road and rail, ideal if you're commuting to nearby towns and cities. Bath is 30 minutes away from the town by car, or 40 minutes by train, while Bristol can be reached in 55 minutes by car or one hour by train. Warminster is much closer, just a 20-minute drive from Frome along the A362.
If you're travelling to London, the train from Frome to London Paddington takes just two hours 10 minutes with a change at Bath Spa. For holidays or business trips abroad, Bristol Airport is 50 minutes away by car.

Specially formulated with concentrated nutrition and essential antioxidants to give your dog a healthy base.
PEDIGREE® Meaty Loaf Variety Pack is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 22.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LEAHCON_3281033605 from My dog is VERY selective when it comes to treats and her food. When I first gave her the food, she sniffed it and walked away. This is typical behaviour for her when trying anything for the first time. I mixed it with her original food and she ate it right away. After her initial reaction, she appeared to love the food! I would most definitely recommend this product to other dog owners!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachel 1973 from It is all my old girl wants About 2 months ago my 18 year old German shepherd mix stopped eating her hard food. The only food I can get her to eat is pedigree wet food. She loves it. We've tried all kinds of expensive foods and this is the best for her.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RICHARDCQC_3281038504 from My dog enjoyed the food so much that he now sits at his bowl and waits for me to acknowledge he is getting some before he'll eat any of his dry food. With the Pedigree food his bowl would be empty every time. Two paws up.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KRISTINEKON_3281036386 from Never thought I would purchase wet food for my dog again after trying other brands. He never ate it and it and it went to waste. I think he really enjoyed it this time. Will definitely buy again and soon!!
Rated 4 out of 5 by TERRICNS_3281034777 from My dog seemed to enjoy the food. Although they are not particularly fussy! The smell of the food was tolerable, unlike some others I have tried.

The performance is one or two perecent lower than native hard disk for FIXED VHDs. Dynamically expanding is a bit slower when the VHD needs to grow. I think if you can put software and OS in the VHD and keep data and page file on the main file system it's a pretty good solution – based on my experience with server 2008 R2.
Is there any reason you wouldn't want to use this as your method for imaging desktops? If the performance is essentially the same now with VHDs….


Discussion in 'Alternatives to iOS and iOS Devices' started by chadf652, Apr 1, 2013.
I currently own a iPhone 4S and my 2 yr upgrade is up this month. I'm getting bored with the iPhone/OS and would like to give android a shot. So I've got some questions I hope you guys can answer.
1. Is the S4 or the HTC ONE worthy of a 2 yr upgrade coming from a iPhone 4S?
2. Is there one you would recommend over the other since it will be my first android phone?
Please read the existing S4 v HTC One threads.
We don't need another thread as all the answers to your questions have been discussed at length from all sides and perspectives and justifying a 2yr upgrade is subjective and only you can answer that.
Either is top of the pile android wise, and both Touchwiz and Sense 5 android skins are smooth and lag free on both devices. Anything else is merely subjective personal preferences but all that is covered in the threads below.
Either phone is superb and will be lag free. I'm sure whichever you choose you will enjoy.
As MacRumorUser posted, please use one of those existing threads.

Breathing in Grace: Too many irons in the fire!!!
Too many irons in the fire!!!
When I was growing up and my Mom would get too many projects going at one time....Daddy would tell her that she had "too many irons in the fire". As I've gotten old older myself....I find that happens to me quite a bit, too. Of course, we like to refer to it these days as "multi-tasking"....and I think that most of us girls do that....because a lot of times it's necessary....especially those of you with little ones!!!
You know....get too many projects going....or, have way too much on your plate to handle and get overwhelmed....and you just feel like nobody cares and you're all alone and trying to do everything....fix everything....and there's nobody to help?!?!?
But....when that happens....I HOPE that I can remember the words that Jesus spoke to His friend, Martha....and realize that all those things will pass away....but my knowledge of Jesus....and the time that I spend in prayer and in His Word and doing things that will bring Him glory....that's really what matters!!!
They'll still be there after I do the things that I should be concerned about....those things that are for HIS glory!!!
I'm so guilty of multitaskiing. Thanks for the reminder of who it's all really about!
I'm coming over from Blog Hop Thursday, now I'm your newest follower.
Hope you can stop by my blog and return the favor.
I think this happens to us all. My husband and I have an agreement that whenever the other gets a little bit over their head, to remind each other what really is important.
I have this problem at times, just to many irons and it's my mom or grandma that says it to me. I thank each of them for seeing what I don't at times.
Thank you for stopping by today and your comment. It was so needed.


Rangeley, ME —July 20, 2015 —Saddleback, Maine, the third largest ski mountain in Maine and the third largest employer in Franklin County, announced today that it will not commence winter operations unless it can secure $3 million in financing to purchase a new four-person chairlift to replace the aging 4,717-foot Rangeley Double Chair. The 51-year-old lift is the main access from the base lodge to the top of Saddleback Mountain and is at the end of its useful life according to mountain officials.
In 2003, Bill and Irene Berry of Farmington, Maine, purchased Saddleback, Maine. The Berry family wanted to protect the resort's economic significance for Rangeley and its historic importance for Maine. During the ski season, Saddleback, Maine, employs up to 300 people. The Berry's also had a vision of providing a ski mountain that the average Mainer could afford. The family has invested millions in the mountain since 2003. Improvements include a new base lodge, the installation of two new quad chairlifts, the addition of many new trails, expanded snowmaking and glade skiing. Today it remains one of the few family-owned ski mountains in the Northeast.
The Berry family informed year-round Saddleback employees and mountain property owners of the potential changes in winter operations. The Berry family has guaranteed that all season pass holders will be reimbursed and all vendors will be paid in full if the mountain does not open for the ski season. The ski area and thousands of acres of surrounding woodlands remain for sale.
Saddleback officials also confirmed that all weddings and summer/autumn events will continue as planned regardless of the winter operation decision.
Saddleback is a family-owned 4,120-ski mountain nestled in the heart of the Rangeley Lakes Region known for its superior snowfall, miles of uncluttered terrain and relaxed atmosphere. It has a 2,000-foot vertical drop, which is comparable to the best alpine ski mountains in the West.Saddleback has been voted first in overall satisfaction, first in value, best family resort, and best grooming in the East by Ski Magazine, Snow East and other leading industry publications.

The Others is the ninth studio album by Japanese musician Miyavi. It was released on April 15, 2015 in Japan. It charted at number 10 on the Oricon chart and number 9 on Billboard Japan.

Background and release
The album was produced by Grammy Award winning Drew Ramsey and Shannon Sanders in Nashville. The song Alien Girl was dedicated to Angelina Jolie, while his title song, The Others was later released in a different version to support UNHCR. The album features Robert Harvey in Unite. For this album, Miyavi changed his electric guitar to a Telecaster, which resulted in an "edgier and more aggressive" sound. According to Miyavi, the concept of the album was about the acceptance of being different, something that was on his mind for a long time, as he often felt pressure to conform to societal norms, especially when he moved to the United States.

The album was followed by a two-part nationwide tour, a Europe tour (his fifth on the continent) and a concert in South Korea.

Lee, Harper, 1926-
Large print ed.
New York : HarperLuxe, [2010], c1960.
465 p. (large print) ; 24 cm.
"A novel"--Cover.
50th anniversary ed.
Set in the small Southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of 8-year-old Scout Finch, her brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus--three years punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman. Though her story explores big themes, Harper Lee chooses to tell it through the eyes of a child. The result is a tough and tender novel of race, class, justice, and the pain of growing up. Like the slow-moving occupants of her fictional town, Lee takes her time getting to the heart of her tale; we first meet the Finches the summer before Scout's first year at school. She, her brother, and Dill Harris, a boy who spends the summers with his aunt in Maycomb, while away the hours reenacting scenes from Dracula and plotting ways to get a peek at the town bogeyman, Boo Radley. At first the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell, the daughter of a drunk and violent white farmer, barely penetrate the children's consciousness. Then Atticus is called on to defend the accused, Tom Robinson, and soon Scout and Jem find themselves caught up in events beyond their understanding. During the trial, the town exhibits its ugly side, but Lee offers plenty of counterbalance as well--in the struggle of an elderly woman to overcome her morphine habit before she dies; in the heroism of Atticus Finch, standing up for what he knows is right; and finally in Scout's hard-won understanding that most people are essentially kind "when you really see them." By turns funny, wise, and heartbreaking, To Kill a Mockingbird is one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be reread often.

International Student Frequently Asked Questions
Home / Graduate School / Admissions / International Admissions / Frequently Asked Questions
What is campus wide policy regarding Covid 19?
Wheaton College Covid 19 Updates page will provide students with the most current information regarding Covid related policies at Wheaton College. Graduate students can also refer to the Graduate Student FAQ page for policies focusing on the Graduate School side.
How long is a semester?
Each semester at Wheaton is divided into two "quads", or half-semesters. Some of your classes will be quad classes; others will continue for the whole semester. Credit hours refer to the number of credit hours awarded for each class. Quad courses receive 2 credit hours, while semester classes receive 4 credit hours. The number of credit hours needed for graduation varies from one program to another, but all international students must carry a full class load each semester, which is 12 credit hours.
What are the academic expectations of the Wheaton College Graduate School?
Most examinations at American colleges and universities are written rather than oral, and are administered more frequently than in many other educational systems. In addition to written exams, students may also be required to write research papers. Plagiarism (copying material without attributing the source) and cheating are strictly forbidden and may result in expulsion from the college.
What should I know if I am married and plan to bring my kids with me?
Married students who wish to have their families join them should realize their financial burdens. A married couple who can live inexpensively will require at least $8000 more per year than a single student will. Additional funds are necessary for each accompanying child for a minimum standard of living. Visas are not issued to the family of students unless they have sufficient funds for dependents in addition to the amount required for the single student. Many students find it best to delay bringing their families until they have found housing and settled in the community.
What are some extracurricular events available on campus?
Wheaton College Graduate School strongly believes in the holistic development of our students. The Graduate School offers weekly chapels and fellowships. Student initiated clubs are also available including biking, hiking, and tennis. In addition, Wheaton College hosts periodical lectures open for public and campus wide events for students to join. Students will receive weekly emails with information for on campus events. For further information, please visit the Graduate Student Life website.
What should I do if my English exam score is lower than the requirement?
The Wheaton College Graduate School programs are academically rigorous. In order to be successful, prospective students are strongly encouraged to reach the minimum scores for the English proficiency exam requirement. Applicants are advised to increase their English ability and take the English exam again to reach the minimum score requirement. For further information, please visit the International English Proficiency page.
How can I submit my transcripts for the application?
The official transcripts for a bachelor's and higher degree from institutions outside of the US, will need to be evaluated by an international credential evaluation service. Please choose the course-by-course type. For further information and a list of recommended services to use, please check the Educational Requirements page.
How can I apply for scholarships?
With the exception of the Billy Graham scholarship, prospective students won't need to apply for scholarships separately. Accepted graduate students are automatically considered for a scholarship available to the program. Please check the Scholarships and Financial Aids website for further information.
There are multiple options that can assist in covering the cost of your degree, including scholarships and loans.

Home The Start of Term Autumn 2014
The Start of Term Autumn 2014
I know that parents will be pleased to see the quality of the new facilities that we will be providing for teaching and learning at Huddersfield Grammar School. Equally, I am also aware that parents and staff will be delighted when the works are finally completed! The school has been a hive of activity during the holidays and the buildings continue to make good progress though have fallen a little behind schedule. As anticipated, developing the site has provided a number of challenges and there have been setbacks caused by the requirements of the new building on a listed site; the problems caused by trees with protection orders; the age and condition of the essential services for the buildings; Hurricane Bertha; and the repeated theft of equipment and machinery. The employment of 24hr security guards has proved an essential requirement.
We have now agreed the following revised timescale for the new developments. This will allow the staff to plan for delivering outstanding and inspiring lessons from the very start of term, whilst ensuring that we have a safe and well-managed transition into the new buildings.
The Waverley Building will be available for all Prep School pupils on Wednesday 3rd September.
The impressive refurbishment of the Biology Lab in the Kayes Building has now been completed.
The School Library and Mathematics classroom in the Royds Mount Building have been completed, though the library will be used as a temporary classroom.
The St David's Building will now be completed as follows:
The Art Room and Food Technology will be available for use on Monday 8th September.
The Pre-Prep Classrooms will be available for use from the week beginning 15th September.
The Second Floor will be available for use from the week beginning 29th September.
The Car Park will be available for parents to use from Wednesday 3rd September as used during the Summer Term. Please could I ask that parents parking in the car park restrict their stay to the minimum time possible. Our neighbours have been extremely understanding of the disruptions caused by building works and I would again ask that parents avoid parking in areas likely to cause annoyance.
Please could I ask parents wishing to view the new school facilities to do so only on the following dates:
Parents' Association AGM: We will have a site tour at 6pm on Wednesday 17th September prior to the AGM at 7pm.
Friday 26th September: World's Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Hospice. This will include an opportunity to view the school "At Work in our New Surroundings" from 8.45-11am.
Saturday 4th October: The Opening of the New Developments by Brian Turner CBE.
Huddersfield Grammar School would like to congratulate the Year 11 students on the impressive results obtained in their GCSE examinations. 92% of the cohort achieved a minimum of 5 GCSE grades from A* to C including English and Mathematics, whilst 52% of all exams were awarded at either A* or A grades. Two students, Helena Ashurst and Olivia McNeill, both gained an outstanding 10 A*s and 2 As. Harry Holmes followed up on his A grade in the Further Mathematics Exam last week with 9 A* grades and 3 A grades. Henley Crodden and Sara Jalali both achieved 8 A* grades and no fewer than 12 students out of a year group of 38 achieved 4 A*s or more. We would like to offer our congratulations to the students and staff on their hard work and achievements.
Several departments produced outstanding results. Results in Biology, Chemistry and Physics underlined the strength of these areas within the curriculum where 83% of all grades were at A* or A grade. Three students in Chemistry achieved the maximum mark. Similar performances were recorded in Geography (84% at A* or A) and English at iGCSE or GCSE Levels (71%). Mathematics results were again impressive with a 94% pass rate at A* to C grades. The Gifted and talented pupils selected for GCSE Italian all achieved either A* or A grade, including students from Year 10. This follows on from the success of the FSMQ Further Maths group achieving 100% passes last week.
Please note that Huddersfield Grammar students complete a mix of GCSE and iGCSE examinations that will not be recorded in the league tables. We are delighted that 53% of grades were above those predicted for students by the Yellis standardised assessments used by many UK schools whilst a number of others achieved their A* target grade. The decision as to which exams are studied is based upon student needs and we are delighted that all students received offers of places at their first choice sixth form college choice.
We would like to express our appreciation of your understanding in purchasing school uniform from our new suppliers Bridge School Wear at Milnsbridge. Mr Bhullar reports that although it has been "manic" and "busy, busy", and that "HGS parents and pupils have been great and a joy to serve".
We are aware that some suppliers are struggling to provide a number of items in time for the start of term. Please be assured that we appreciate the difficulties that you may have in obtaining the full uniform for the start of term and we will be understanding.
Can I remind parents that Senior School girls only are allowed to wear their hair down providing that it is neat and tidy, and to wear ear-rings. All boys should now wear white shirts unless in Year 11. We expect all pupils to be smart in their appearance next Wednesday and to conform with the school dress, hair and appearance regulations.
Please note that the Out of School Club Registration Form is now available to download from the website.
Please note that Reception swimming classes will take place every Wednesday. Reception children will have the excitement of going swimming on Wednesday 3rd September, though any children nervous about swimming will not be required to enter the water on this day.
NEW TIMETABLE
Please note that registration continues to be at 8.35am throughout the school. Period 1 will now start at 8.45am with academic lessons for all children. School assemblies and form periods have been moved to the end of the day to allow the school to focus on literacy and numeracy in the Pre-Prep and Prep Schools; to ensure that absences at the end of the day for sports and activities do not disrupt academic lessons; to provide more double lessons in the Senior School and to allow tutors to ensure that pupils have the required homework.
START OF TERM ARRANGEMENTS
Please note that all Pre-Prep children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will be registering in the Portacabin classrooms used last term. Collection arrangements will remain as last term and children will be delivered to the school gates by their class teacher.
Clubs and activities will start on Thursday 4th September for Senior School pupils and on Monday 8th September for Prep and Pre-Prep School unless otherwise informed.
Note that Year 3 and Year 4 will have Games lessons on Wednesday 3rd September.
The School Bus Service will commence on Wednesday 3rd September from both the Holme Valley and Calderdale. Details of the Calderdale bus times will be issued individually to those parents requesting this service.
We look forward to seeing all of the children return to school after an enjoyable holiday.

TEXTBOOKS (required)
Trattner, W.I. (1999). From poor law to welfare state: A history of social welfare in America (6th ed.). New York, NY: The Free Press.
Wright, J.D., Rubin, B.A. & Devine, J.A. (1998). Beside the golden door: Policy, Politics and the homeless. New York, NY: Aldine De Gruyter.
The New York Times (additional source--strongly suggested):
Students will develop an understanding and awareness of the social problems of poverty and homelessness in U.S. society in terms of the causes, the policy and program responses to the problems, and the implications for practice as human service professionals through assigned readings, participating in lecture/discussions, attending guest speaker presentations and field visits to social service agencies, participating in service learning opportunities, and from video/discussions.
Reaction Papers (3): Due Dates 2/14, 3/14, & 4/25 (see "evaluation" for details).
The student will write a 3-4 page reaction paper based on a course assigned reading or video shown in class, to a field visit to a service agency, or a guest speaker's presentation. Students must also be prepared to discuss their reaction in class. In completing the reaction paper, your comments should include, but not be limited to: (a) your general reactions; (b) your critique of whether the program/policy being described/observed is effective or ineffective in addressing the problems of poverty or homelessness--and why; (c) the role of "politics;" (d) the implications for social and/or distributive justice; (e) any personal reverberations you experienced in terms of value conflicts/struggles you were aware of; and (f) the ways in which this experience/presentation/reading impacted upon your sense of self as an evolving helping professional.
Service Learning Hours (a total of 15) and a Service Learning Journal (due 3/21 & 5/16)
Students will select from a number of service learning opportunities and will complete a total of 15 hours in that site. In addition the student will maintain a journal and make an entry for each time they are engaged in a service learning activity. The entry should include: (a) a description of the activity; (b) the general reaction to it; (c) an observation on staff-client interaction; (d) a description of how the student felt when interacting with staff and clients; and (e) a review of what, if anything, the student learned about him/herself from the experience both personally and as an evolving helping professional.
Students are expected to document a minimum of 15 hours of service learning activity. A failure to do so will adversely affect course grade by lowering the service learning journal grades since a student will have not met the requirement sufficiently to have the opportunity to reflect on the service-learning component of the course.
*In addition to accumulating hours from time spent at the service-learning site, students will also gain credited service hours by participating in class service projects.
Service Learning Sites Include:
-The United Neighborhood Center -The Catherine McCauley Center
-Habitat for Humanity -St. Anthony's Shelter
-Family Matters--EOTC -Head Start
-Boys and Girls Club -Catholic Social Services
*A more detailed list will be given on the first night of class when Ms. Cathy Mascelli, of Collegiate Volunteers discusses service learning requirements and opportunities.
Final Research Paper (due 5/2)
Students will complete a 12-15 page paper focused a specific sub-group, discussed in class, experiencing the social problem of poverty or homelessness (i.e. child poverty; or the homeless mentally ill). The student will focus on the nature of the experience for the individual, the scope of the problem, policies enacted to address the problem, critique the programs/agencies developed to combat the problem, and provide a series of thoughtful recommendations to more effectively and equitably address the problem.
A detailed assignment outline will be provided the third week of class. Students will need to have their topic approved by 3/21.
Class Participation
It is expected that students will come to class having read all assignments and prepared to participate in class discussion, small group exercises, interaction with guest speakers, service learning reflection groups, and discussion related to lectures and videos.
Course grades will be based on the following:
Assignment Due Date % of Course Grade
Reaction Paper #1 2/14/02 10%
(Article Packet)
(Neighborhood Center)
Journal #1 3/21/02 10%
(Service Learning)
(Guest speaker, field visit
or video/reading)
Research Paper 5/2/02 25%
Final Exam 5/16/02 15%
Class Participation Ongoing 10%
Course Grade:
A= 94-100 C+= 77-79
A-= 90-93 C= 73-76
B+= 87-89 C-= 70-72
B= 83-86 D+= 66-69
B-= 80-82 D= 60-65
F= 59 & below
Attendance is an integral part of the course and a record of attendance will be kept. Emergencies can occur and it is important to keep the instructor informed. A student whose unexcused absences exceed two (2) will have his/her class participation grade lowered for each absence beyond two.
Assignment extensions and make-up exams are given only in the most extenuating circumstances. Unexcused late assignments will be penalized 10% per class period.
Appropriate collaboration is encouraged, but cheating and plagiarism will result in an F for the test or assignment and the possibility of much more severe penalties.

Wood engraving is deemed by many to be the acme of graphic arts; often only in the size of a stamp, printed on very thin paper, these works are extraordinarily fascinating.
In the upcoming exhibition, gallery Wolf & Galentz will present selected works by more than twenty artists in different juxtapositions. Among these are works by the German masters Karl Rössing (1897–1987) and Karl-Georg Hirsch (b. 1938) and also some by Russian Aleksej Kravchenko and Vladimir Favorski, to name only the most famous. Furthermore, Mikhail Verkholantsev, member of the Russian Academy of the Arts, has kindly contributed eight pieces from his private collection.
Woodcut and wood engraving, the latter having been developed from the former, count among the relief printing techniques. Woodcut is one of the oldest methods to produce multiples on paper. In Europe, first known examples of woodcut were produced in the 14th century, at first used for single sheets, block books and finally book illustration. After the invention of letterpress printing, woodcut became a widespread technique, while still used for pamphlets and flysheets, for example during the Reformation.
Woodcut: Precise and Intricate Technique
In publishing, the woodcut was replaced by copperplate engraving in the 17th and 18th century, while this in turn was replaced by lithography and wood engraving in the second half of the 18th century, wood engraving being an invention of British Thomas Bewick. Both woodcut and wood engraving became artistic techniques for graphic artworks, independent of the printing of books, in the 19th century.
Wood engraving has since its invention been an especially precise and intricate technique among the historical printing techniques, in which the picture is cut into the homogenous fibre-structure of the end grain of the wood, using carvers' tools (instead of wood cutting tools), often with so miniscule lines as to make optical devices of enlargement necessary in the process. Engraved wooden plates allow for high numbers of prints made from them, in high quality; they are markedly more durable than copperplates.
Aleksej Kravchenko
Together with a number of catalogues with the works of the exhibited artists, in the exhibition we also show several books with original illustrations.
Fortuitously we were offered the chance to present two series of wood engravings by famous Russian artist Aleksej Kravchenko – 'From the Life of a Woman' (1928) and 'New York' (1929).
Selection of classical woodcuts
In the exhibition, the presentation of the wood engravings is supported by a selection of classical woodcuts. We will show several works by Conrad Felixmüller (1897–1977), Stephan Preuschoff (1907–1994), Helena Scigalla (1921–1998), Jürgen Wittdorf (1932–2018) and Philipp Mager (b. 1966).
Furthermore we will show some Japanese woodcuts from our collection. Japanese colour woodcut uses the side grain of the wood (predominantly wild cherry), but its precision is still comparable to some wood engravings, and larger areas on the wood blocks allow for masterly composed colour gradations. We present some works of the Ukiyo-e genre from the 19th century with re-prints for comparison. And finally we show works by the contemporary Japanese artist Mitsuo Katsui.

2020 Democrats Call On Walmart To Stop Selling Guns Following El Paso Shooting
08/09/2019 11:37 am ET Updated Aug 09, 2019
The retail giant banned assault-style weapons in 2015, but activists are pushing it to go further in response to this weekend's shooting at an El Paso store.
By Marina Fang
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday implored retail giant Walmart to "do the right thing — stop selling guns," following this weekend's mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, which took place at one of its stores.
Companies that sell guns have a responsibility to the safety of their communities. @Walmart is one of the largest gun retailers in the world. The weapons they sell are killing their own customers and employees. No profit is worth those lives. Do the right thing—stop selling guns.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) August 9, 2019
"Sometimes, companies recognize that they have an obligation to the lives, health, and safety of their communities," the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate tweeted Friday, citing CVS, which stopped carrying tobacco products in 2014.
"Companies that sell guns have a responsibility to the safety of their communities," she said. "Walmart is one of the largest gun retailers in the world. The weapons they sell are killing their own customers and employees. No profit is worth those lives. Do the right thing — stop selling guns."
Shortly afterward, fellow 2020 presidential candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro also urged the retail giant to stop selling guns, with Sanders and Booker citing calls from some Walmart workers.
Thank you Walmart employees for demanding action. Walmart should use its power to stop selling guns in its stores until politicians and gun manufacturers get their act together and raise the standard for gun ownership in this country. https://t.co/Bw6k2VAuoA
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) August 9, 2019
Walmart should respect the voices of its workers who are calling on the company to stop selling guns. I agree. This is exactly why I believe workers deserve representation on their board, so that their views are heeded.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) August 9, 2019
Video games don't cause mass shootings. Guns do.
Maybe take those off the shelf, @Walmart? https://t.co/U7Cwp8C4BQ
— Julián Castro (@JulianCastro) August 9, 2019
Walmart did not immediately reply to HuffPost's request for comment.
The retail giant does not carry the type of gun that Saturday's assailant used, an AK-47 style rifle, as it banned assault-style weapons in 2015.
In response to the El Paso shooting, which killed more than 20 people, gun violence prevention advocates have ramped up pressure on the retailer to stop carrying any firearms in its stores.
A spokesman for the retailer said earlier this week that Walmart does not plan to remove guns from its stores. On Thursday, store officials did instruct employees to remove advertising for violent video games.
Following the mass shooting in February 2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Dick's Sporting Goods also announced that it would no longer sell assault-style weapons. Both retailers also raised the minimum age for gun purchases to 21.
This story has been updated with comments from Booker, Castro and Sanders.

Thomas Hunter Project Space is proud to present Shift/Fix(ed), a series of multimedia collaborative works by MFA students from UMass Dartmouth. What do the words Shift/Fix(ed) imply to contemporary art practice? We are told our political, environmental, and social worlds are shifting, in flux—perhaps on the precipice of change & revolution. The Postmodernist tradition, where the disruption of norms and critical stance in society was a given- is now under severe attack. Questions about the mutability of truth (fixed or un-fixed) permeate the culture. Are we talking to or at one another? Paired artists will form a discourse in the production of wall based works in diptych format that considers the rough dynamics of the world they live, how their practice navigates (shifts) and/or participates in the public space. Curated by UMD professors Jim Lawton and Janine Wong.

Q: Projectivization of the tangent bundle I want to explicitly write down equations for a variety in
$$\mathbb{P}(T_{\mathbb{P}^2}\oplus T_{\mathbb{P}^2})$$
What would be the natural way to do this? I know how the equations should look like over each point of $\mathbb{P}^2$ but it doesn't seem trivial to me how to "translate" them into global equations.

A: A twisted cubic on $P^3$ can be realized as the degeneration locus of a map $A\otimes O(-1) \to B\otimes O$, where $A$ and $B$ are vector spaces of dimension 2 and 3. In a relative situation you should replace vector spaces by vector bundles on the base. So, choose a pair of a vector bundles $A$ and $B$ on $P^2$ of rank 2 and three, and a map $p^*A\otimes O(-1) \to p^*B$, where $p:P_{P^2}(T \oplus T) \to P^2$ is the projection and $O(-1)$ is the relative $O(-1)$ for $p$. Note that such map is given by a morphism of vector bundles
$A\otimes(T \oplus T) \to B$ on $P^2$.
Further, a relative quadric is given by a section of a vector bundle $p^*L\otimes O(2)$, where $L$ is a line bundle on $P^2$. Such section is given by a section of a vector bundle $L\otimes S^2T^*$ on $P^2$.
Altogether, you obtain the equations of your (generically) sixfold covering.
