Climate deal typo hiccup solved 'in a small room,' France says
Reuters , Tuesday 15 Dec 2015
French Foreign Minister and COP21 president Laurent Fabius (R) gestures next to French head negotiator Laurence Tubiana during the final session of the COP21 United Nations climate change conference in Le Bourget, near Paris, on December 12, 2015 (Photo: AFP)

China, India, hail hard-fought Paris climate pact
A last minute dispute over an apparent typing error in last weekend's global climate deal in Paris was solved "in a small room" and thanks to trust established during the talks, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Tuesday.
After two weeks of intense negotiations, the deal was almost derailed in the final hours when the more legally binding word 'Shall' appeared in one of the articles in the place of 'Should.'
The last-minute change in text article 4.4 of the COP 21 agreement aimed at limiting global warming by capping CO2 emissions said that developed nations 'shall' have 'economy-wide absolute emissions reduction targets', instead of 'should' as written in previous drafts.
'Shall' would have been unacceptable for the United States because that would make it a legal requirement, needing ratification by the Senate, something considered pretty much impossible by its negotiators.
"We made it crystal clear that every text up until this particular one had a different wording, so it wasn't hard for them to realize that somebody had made a mistake and accepted responsibility for it," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said last weekend.
Nicaragua and other emerging countries had tried to insist on 'shall', to ensure that rich countries took the lead. 'Should' is a much less onerous level of requirement.
"Trust was created," said Fabius, who has been praised for his masterly handling of the talks.
"It was this trust that got things done. The text is very complicated and very long etcetera, and in the last version of the text, the stenographers made a typing error... Instead of saying - as in the two previous versions - that the parties 'should' do this and that, 'shall.' was written."
He said South Africa, the leader of the G77 group of emerging countries told his colleagues after the error that they wanted the more binding word kept in.
"I had to come to a small room... I said trust me. I certify that it is just a typing error. Let's not block this deal for the human race for that. They told me, Mr. Fabius, we trust you."

Following the attacks on the Boston Marathon, Google Person Finder has been activated to assist those worried about an individual in the area.
Google Person Finder presents visitors with two options, 'I'm looking for someone' and 'I have information on someone'. Users enter the name of an individual as they would perform a regular Google search, presented with any information that may have been entered about that person. If information on a person has been uploaded, the message 'Information has been received that this person is alive' will be displayed.
With mobile phone lines in the area blocked due to the incredibly high number of calls, this service has already proved invaluable for many concerned people. According to information from Google, over 5000 people have been declared safe as a result of the people finding service.
In addition to these instances, a special Hurricane Sandy Google Map was launched to allow residents of New York to track the progress of the powerful storm.
Adrian Mursec, senior developer at theEword commented: "This project from Google once again shows the power of the internet, and how it can be used for good in the wake of a disastrous event. While Google Person Finder is not a perfect service, it has clearly provided reassurance for many people already, relieving the pressure on the emergency services who may otherwise have been inundated with calls by worried friends or relatives."


The Achilles sword from the movie "Troy" and wielded by (you guessed it) Achilles (a younger Brad Pitt) may not have had any historical precedent. No real surprises there, it is Hollywood after all.
But you have to admit, it looked kind of cool..
And at least, despite it being a fantasy sword - with it's riveted hilt and brass, leaf shaped blade it was at least slightly historically plausible (though if you are interested to see what kind of sword Achilles and other Greek warriors ACTUALLY used, you'd be best off to visit our Ancient Swords page).
The original licensed replica of the Achilles sword was made by the Noble Collection was bronze plated stainless steel, weighed a hefty 3.2 lbs - but was of course, a wall hanger - and typically selling for $195 and up, a very expensive wall hanger at that!
These days, it is impossible to find the original - what passes for an Achilles sword now is a cheap, nasty looking replica (the original was classy, the $50 to $100 knock off's - not so much).
However die hard fans of the movie and the general concept of this sword are in luck. USA based sword maker Scorpion swords has a WICKEDLY functional replica of this blade made from 1095 beautifully tempered steel with a full tang sandwiched between quality walnut wood - well, JUST LOOK AT IT!
The thing is just a beast - and best of all it is totally functional and just $70 more than what the wall hanger version used to cost..!

I enjoy gardening, don't you? I started gardening when I was in grade school. In fact, when I was 12 years old, I grew a BIG cabbage. The BIG cabbage was my pride and joy.
Of course, I grew this cabbage in Alaska–you know, the place where everything is BIG. In fact, my cabbage weighed 40 lbs.
After growing this pride and joy, I hadn't thought about it much. Mostly, I've lived my life knowing that I am a successful cabbage gardener. I haven't won any awards or even shared this tidbit of information with many of my friends.
Perhaps I've just lived my life feeling really proud about my gardening ability, particularly when it comes to growing cabbage. Well, I must admit that I've probably been a bit arrogant about the whole ordeal.
However, last September my pride was shattered. I was crushed. I felt about the same as when my mother exceeded my BIG fish catch record. In 1984, my little petite mum (she's 4′ 11″ tall) caught a 70 lb. King Salmon in Deep Creek, Alaska. After that occasion, life was simply not the same.
My cabbage pride (vs. my fishing pride) was shattered at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, Alaska. I remember the day well.
It was OK at first. We viewed and talked about all the nice vegetables grown by local gardeners. We even saw some large vegetables.
But, there was no mistaking the BIG cabbage. It was "The Beast" of all cabbages. And it was, indeed, there in front of me.
"The Beast" weighed 127 pounds. Can you believe it my Cafe' friends? I was in awe, as you can imagine.
The Anchorage Daily News reported about "The Beast"…that "Leafy Wonder". But, I was unable to read all the details. My cabbage pride had been wounded.
Time heals these wounds, however. So, now several months later I'm upbeat again. Why not? You only live once! Why not make cabbage and meatball soup to soothe one's wounded cabbage pride and move on in life. Shall we, my Susitna Cafe' friends?
Heat olive oil in large dutch oven or soup pot under medium heat. Add garlic and sauté. When the garlic begins to turn brown, add the chopped onions. Sauté and stir til transparent. Now add your chopped celery with leaves, sliced carrots and chopped Serrano ham. Cook for about 10 minutes. Next, add the chopped plum tomatoes and cabbage. Stir and sauté for another 10 minutes, and enjoy the beautiful color of this cabbage soup base.
Your soup base is prepared, so now let's add 7 cups of water, the bouillon, cannellini beans, and the parmesan rind. Simmer the soup for approximately 30 minutes. If you used dried soaked beans, you may need to simmer the soup longer in order to soften the beans. Taste, and use your own discretion.
Add your meatballs and lots of fresh ground pepper. You may add an additional cup of water if the soup becomes too thick (note, this is a substantial soup so it will be thick). Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add salt, as needed.
Garnish with shredded parmesan. Serve with crusty sourdough bread, a hunk of your favorite cheese, and a tossed salad.
We seek cabbage from the Land of the Midnight Sun!
Traveler's Notes: the Alaska State Fair will be held this year from Aug. 26-Sept. 6, 2010. Be sure to visit the BIG vegetables!
Cook's Notes: this recipe makes alot of soup–freeze some! It freezes well.

Table of Contents Analysis It is fitting that the title of the play is Hedda's maiden name, Hedda Gabler, for the play is to a large extent about the formerly aristocratic Hedda's inability to adjust to the bourgeois life into which she has married.
Most of the story takes place before the action of the play begins, making the beginning of the play a late point of attack. The plot moves forward in a chain of actions that use minor reversals of fortune to create suspense. The pace builds towards a climactic obligatory scene, in which the hero triumphs.

Crane observes that Shaw, by his own admission, learned dramatic structure from contemporary popular theatre which was then dominated by the well-made formula. He cites the "Woman question" as a contemporary example.
Shaw distinguishes between the problem play and literature with conflicts reflecting a more universal view of the human condition. Works whose fundamental conflict does not pit human against institution, he argues, are more apt to remain relevant through generations.
Shaw observes that the immediacy of the institutional question addressed in a problem play will render the play "flat as ditchwater" once society progresses and the issue is resolved. Ibsen qualifies a human tragedy as the state "[when a person] stands in a tight place; he cannot go forwards or backwards.
The well-made formula, Shaw observes, can be divided into three sections: The plays of Ibsen and Shaw, Shaw himself asserts, do not end with a classic unraveling.
Their work can be divided as: The Wild Duck can be seen as a deliberate, meta-theatrical deconstruction of the Scribean formula.

British Open moves in Calendar update
6th May 21 stevecubbins 2021, NEWS
Allam British Open moved to August as PSA issues updated calendar
The PSA has issued an updated provisional calendar for the remainder of the 2020-21 PSA World Tour season which will see the Manchester Open and Allam British Open move back to June and August.
The Manchester Open – originally scheduled for April – will now go ahead between 7th and 13th June, while the Allam British Open – which was planned to take place in June – will now be held from 16th to 22nd August.
Both events have been moved to later dates in order to ensure that there is a greater chance of the event being permitted to allow spectators into the venue as per the UK Government four-step roadmap for the lifting of restrictions.
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on international travel and restrictions currently put in place by the UK Government – which was taken into account in the postponement of the Manchester Open – these dates remain subject to change.
Meanwhile, the PSA World Championships in Chicago will now take place from 14th to 22nd July.
The dates for the El Gouna International and the CIB PSA World Tour Finals have not changed and these tournaments are still planned to take place in May and June, respectively.
PSA World Tour Provisional Schedule: May – Aug 2021
20-28 May : El Gouna International (Platinum), El Gouna, Egypt
07-13 Jun : Manchester Open (Silver), Manchester, England
22-27 Jun : CIB PSA World Tour Finals, Cairo, Egypt
14-22 Jul : PSA World Championships (WC), Chicago, USA
16-22 Aug : Allam British Open (Platinum), Hull, England
"Scheduling and managing a thriving professional squash circuit against the backdrop of the unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging, so I'd like to thank all of our players and tournament promoters for their support and understanding over the past 12 months and beyond," said PSA Chief Executive Alex Gough.
"While the remainder of the 2020-21 season will look slightly different to the one that we envisaged when we initially released our provisional schedule in March of this year, we are extremely pleased that, in the case of the Manchester Open and Allam British Open, we have been able to postpone the tournaments to later in the year in the hope of enabling our loyal spectators to watch our world-class athletes first-hand.
"The extra planning time involved will also enable us to continue our ongoing discussions with the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Public Health England (PHE) and other relevant governmental departments as we look to mitigate against any further disruption to our events resulting from international travel restrictions.
"I'd like to thank Manchester City Council for their continued support for the event and their commitment to facilitate the safe return of spectators to the National Squash Centre.
"I'd also like to thank British Open Title Sponsor Dr Assem Allam for his invaluable support of the British Open, as well as the University of Hull and England Squash. We will work with all parties to ensure that this year's British Open is one of the best yet."

Exciting news from I-35 Speedway as we are in full preparation for the 2019 racing season. The E-Mod, Pure Stock, and Sport Compact rules for 2019 have been updated and posted on the website, www.i-35speedway.net. In 2018, the Pure Stock class had eight different drivers take the checkered flag, the Sport Compact class enjoyed nine different winners, and the E mod class had 11 different winners, as a testament to the competitive and equal nature of the competition at I-35 Speedway.
As I-35 Speedway releases these rules we realize from time to time we receive request from competitors from other tracks to come compete in the various classes. Our intent is not to legislate out a competitor but instead to find a way to make cars competitive, so everyone may come and have fun.
Should there be any questions on any of the updated 2019 rules, including the Midwest Limited Late Models, please contact Ed "Bubba" Kline at 816-615-3207.


Sara, a soldier serving in Michve Alon immigrated with her family to Ft. Langley, Canada during her childhood. She arrived in Israel a year and a half before joining the IDF, already knowing that she wanted to make Aliya. She says the time she spent here before the army helped to prepare her culturally for her service.
She enjoys the way that people from so many different cultural backgrounds come together in her Tsevet (army staff) and work towards the same goal. She gives special thanks to Tammy, a resident of the Kibbutz where Sara spends her weekends. She says that Tammy takes in all soldiers who come her way and provides them with endless emotional support. She's even willing to get up in the middle of the night to drive sick soldiers to the hospital. "She deserves an award," says Sara.
Although Sara hasn't been assigned a position in the army yet, several people have told her she'd make a fantastic military spokesperson. Regardless of where she ends up, she says it feels good to be here, and also that the Lone Soldier Center has become like a home away from home.

Just over 18 months ago I blogged about the suitability of my, then, five year old's playlist as she began to get more interested in the music that we were listening to. I had the usual issues to deal with over selecting music that was suitable for her ears as well as being bearable for us. Luckily she still loves The Killers and listens to Brandon Flowers' Flamingo every night in bed - result. However, she is starting to broaden her horizons and is developing her own tastes. Panic.
What I don't want to do is force my musical taste on her in an effort to avoid the things I don't like. I don't want to smother her choices. I know I will have to bite my tongue - and stuff my ears - over future music that will come into our house, much like my own parents probably did. So, when the Disney Shake it up: I heart music CD arrived in the post today for her to check out I was open minded knowing that she was going to love it, and a little bit apprehensive that I would loathe it.
And. I was pleasantly surprised. The voices weren't too Disneyfied and the tracks were actually ok. Edith loved it. I shook my thang. As you do. I was enjoying the moment as I know it will only be a matter of time when that kind of behaviour will embarrass her to pieces - ha, can't wait for that.
Some of it reminds me of a watered down Rihanna so it ticks the box of more 'grown up' music for Edith without the dodgy lyrics and innuendo that I don't want to have to deal with quite yet. It definitely makes her want to get up and dance and she already has plans for us to choreograph some moves - I am secretly looking forward to that.
So, I am happy. Edith is happy. She has a CD that gets her off her backside and moving. I don't have to worry about what she might hear. And, I can have some 'girl time' with her and shake a few calories at the same time.
I will make sure Mr. Flowers and co. are not forgotten though.
I would love to know what other children listen to. Do your children follow your musical tastes? Do you love or loathe their choices? How much should we police what they listen to?
Disclaimer: we were sent the CD for review purposes. All views and opinions are ours and as always are honest.
I love this post! My daughter is only 2 but has clearly been influenced by her parents' music tastes already. She can identify a Duran Duran song within the first few seconds and often requests to watch their concert DVD. My hubby and I are a bit snobby when it comes to music and we cringe at the thought of our daughter's future playlists. We fear being trapped in a Beiber-Swift-Cyrus cycle. However, like you, we don't intend on squelching her personal tastes. But we do pray that we get lucky and somehow avoid the likes of One Direction. I realize this is not likely. I rest assured in the thought that Disney will just be a phase and she'll come around again to the quality tunes her parents were so hip to play.
Thanks to Hubs having Radio One on in the car E declared Flo Rida his favourite last year (which was a bit of a blow). I'm now bringing them up on a combo of slightly EMO girl power (Avril and Taylor), 80s/90s power ballad rock (Aerosmith and Bon Jovi) and old Britpop (Blur and Pulp). It probably counts as child abuse.
I remember Alisha Dixon being in the charts with "The Boy Does Nothing" and my middle son proudly singing "he does nothing the boy does nothing" whenever we had company. Now my eldest loves Queen, my middle likes a bit of reggae and my little one is still at the Twinkle Twinkle stage.


Last Saturday I did something completely new for me. I began my first attempt to brew my own beer(a Chipotle Porter). The event was called Brew School, and the feature of this event, was brewing stouts and porters. The Brew School is one of the projects of Savour Winnipeg. Savour Winnipeg is all about D-I-Y food and beverage production. Savour Winnipeg is the same group that I went with last year when I tried to learn a little bit about foraging.
The Brew School was the sponsor of Saturdays beer making event.
My future is looking like lit will involve a lot more food production. While beer isn't going to be part of it, I want to get more educated as to how processes such as fermentation work. So, when a notice for this event showed up in my email I decided I would sign up and give it a whirl.
Ben Benton, who lead the foraging expedition was also the instructor for the beer making afternoon. The session was held at the Irish Association on Erin Street. There were a total of 13 of us gathered, along with Ben, around four tables. The one disappointment with the event was there were no proper introductions, so I can't tell you anything about the other people that were taking part in the brew school. Although, there was quite a range of experience. Some people hadn't really tried beer making before, while others made their own beer on a regular basis. There were four choices for brewing, from the email.
My stock pot for creating the wort.
Once everyone had arrived and gathered around their stations we got to work. Although there is a lot of time spent waiting while making beer, it's a very time sensitive process as well. So, the first thing we did was we emptied our barley into the pots and stirred it around. We stirred it to make sure that all the barley was moistened and that there were lumps where so barley might remain dry in the middle and so reduce the quality of the final product.
One thing that noticed right off, is that all the elements that were going to go into making the beer were packaged in such away that there was need for us to handle any of the raw material. This meant that even without an industrial kitchen, we were sill able to maintain a high standard of hygiene. Keeping the liquid uncontaminated throughout the process is an important part of making the beer.
After putting the barely into the water, Ben came around to test the temperatures to make sure they were within the acceptable range. Right after this we were given tasting spoons and encouraged to taste the wort. While the flavour wasn't strong, it was surprisingly sweet. We let the mash sit, and while it was sitting, Ben gave us the history of beer making, along with how we got porters and stouts. Of the latter it was that in London on the Quays, they needed a hearty and sustaining brew to keep the porters, those who carried the goods out of the shop satisfied. We also got a bit of the history of how Guinness became the best known beer in the world.
Draining the barley mash into the wort. The pictures a little fuzzy because I was trying to do two things at once.
The next step was sparging. This involves pouring hot water over the mash mixture to make sure that the sugars, which have been loosened from the barley get washed away into the wort. It's the sugars that produce the alcohol in the beer. In this part of the process I ended up pouring about 3 litres of water over the mash. This pour over is meant to be done rather slowly, but in continuous form. The closest thing I can compare it to is going to a coffee shop and asking for a pour-over.
A colander, a handy tool to get all the sugars out of the barley mash, during the sparging section.
There were a couple of pots of hot water for the sparging process.
As a result of the need to conserve when processing and transporting, the hops are turned into dense pellets. I only got a picture of the container tops, but the totality of the hops could have been been fitted into a large soup spoon. The Chipotle Porter I was making required three additions of hops, and here's where I ran into a little trouble.
When the wort starts to boil, it really starts to boil. So while trying to keep if from boiling over, trying to open the container of hops, and trying to listen to Ben's instructions, I accidentally put the second set of hops into the mix rather than the first. I got a chance to bring it to Ben's attention when I added the first set, where I should have added the second set. Ben told me it might make a bit of difference to the flavour, but shouldn't be too much of a problem. On my station we added hops at the start of the boil, at the forty minute mark, and just before the boil came to a finish.
Then the beer has to cool. Here again, the emphasis was placed on making sure that we did everything as hygienically as possible. The stock pots were first put into an ice bath. Then Ben took some ice packs that had been in a sanitizing solution(one that is safe for humans) and stuck an ice pack into each pot. This helped bring the wort down to a temperature that was safe for when we entered the next step, which is fermentation.
After the wort had cooled, we transferred our worts to sanitized, food grade containers to take home. For the fermentation section Ben added a little activated yeast to each of the pots. He activated the yeast first, so that we knew that the yeast was working, rather than waiting the two to three weeks for the fermentation to complete, only to open our containers to find that they yeast hadn't taken and that we were without any beer after all that work.
One of the things I really liked about the event, is that we made enough wort to produce about a gallon of beer(roughly five 12 oz cans). I enjoy a beer, but I don't drink all that much, so that I'm glad that I won't find myself stuck with a whole lot of beer when this come to maturity. Plus if it doesn't turn out fantastic, I don't feel a whole lot will go to waste.
Another thing I liked about this class, was it's clear you don't need a lot of expensive equipment to make your own beer. The basics are a 2L stock pot, The strainer, The bag to hold the mash in the pot(they are washable and reusable), A spoon for stirring(ours were a little short, another couple of inches above the water line would have been nice), food grade bucket, and growler. Most important of all is the digital thermometer to make sure that the temperatures are kept in the right range, so that pathogens don't develop. All of this can be done in a regular kitchen, and as long as you make sure you do the right steps at the right moment, you can still work on other things in the kitchen.
The ingredients are pretty simple too: Barley mixture, hops, and anything such as the chipotle peppers that you may want to add at the end of the boil. Right now my wort is sitting in my basement, where it will remain for the next two or three weeks. At the end of that time, I will transfer it to the growler(Ben recommends the plastic ones because they are virtually indestructible), add the carbonation tabs(compressed sugar designed to help make sure the beer is bubbly), and in another couple of weeks, Hopefully I will have some delicious beer, and if it's not something I particularly want to drink I'll try and cook with it. I'll let you know, either way, how it turns out.
Brewing beer is fascinating and it's a hobby everyone should try once.
It was an interesting learning experience. I figure that how it turns out will be the biggest factor in whether or not I do it on an ongoing basis.
I didn't realize how exhausting it would be when I observed someone do it over an entire day. I didn't even do anything!
One of the things I liked about the experience was that it was a small batch, so the stirring, etc. wasn't all that laborious.
Beer making is very fun. I always feel accomplished when I brew.
It was. I was surprised at how straightforward it was as well.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. The only thing that worried me in the process was being on the edge of boiling over two or three times. The hardest thing to believe was how easy it was.
I hope to be able to set up some video when I do the transfer portion. I hadn't done enough planning to have that happen at the brewing session.
Can't wait to hear how it tastes! I'm sorry I'm not closer so that I could come help you with that gallon. *grin* What a great idea for something new to try/learn.
Glad you liked the post. So far nothing has exploded in the fermentation stage, so that's a good start.
Chipotle wouldn't be as hot as the other two, but I'm hoping for a nice, smoky overlay on the porter.
Keep writing is the best way. It takes time and patience. Thanks for the compliment.
After baking bread for many years , I took the plunge and started brewing beer. There was some trepidation as how the batch would taste. I was pleasantly surprised as to the quality of the brew for the amount of work involved, this was just before craft brewing went main stream. It's a satisfying to be self sufficient for beverages, I find 2 gallon receipes within limits that I can handle. If you'r interested in an in depth look at fermentation , I recommend "The Art of Fermentation" by Sandoz . Yeast(s) are now always stocked in the kitchen, along with a sourdough starter. Your description of the brewing process was excellent.
Thanks for you comment and the book recommendation. My schedule has made it a little difficult to get around to transferring the wort into a growler, but from what I was told that should only improve the brew.
You're welcome. I was surprised how straightforward the process was.

This was a disappointing pizza from a restaurant that clearly had good ingredients to select from. Old Friends' pizza had excellent cuts of prosciutto and rich hunks of tuna in their 'Old Friends' Pizza. But it was clear there was little fusion in this pizza, and they should stick to their well advertised steak and seafood menu. There was no base on this pizza to speak of, except for some olive oil. The vegetables were not ripe, and the tomatoes and onions could have used a few more days of ripening before being added to this pizza. Bitter onions, rich tuna, tender prosciutto and unripened tomatoes created a very odd taste.

Evaluating Parent Empowerment: A Look at the Potential of Social Justice Evaluation in Education
by Camille Wilson Cooper & Christina A. Christie - 2005
In an effort to improve our nation's underperforming schools, education reformers are designing programs to educate and empower urban school parents. Parent involvement can be critical to a child's academic success, yet the education community still knows very little about the impact of specific parent programs. We evaluated a parent program that was part of a major school-university partnership. A responsive evaluation approach initially guided the design of our qualitative case study evaluation. Our social justiceoriented values, however, prompted us to revise our approach and adhere more closely to a social justice evaluation model. This change caused us to highlight the perspectives of low-income Latina mothers and emphasize the gap between parents' and educators' notions of empowerment. In this article, we describe our evaluation and highlight key findings that offer insightful implications for education practitioners, researchers, and evaluators. The findings pertain to the challenge of educators sharing power with urban parents and developing partnerships that are sensitive to the social and cultural factors that affect parents' values, goals, and modes of participation. We also emphasize the relationship between evaluation theory and practice and point to the potential impact of social justice evaluation in education.

Bill Clinton 'knows nothing' about Jeffrey Epstein's ' terrible crimes; Spokesman says
Bill Clinton issued a statement in response to the charges against his former associate Jeffrey Epstein, saying that he "knows nothing" about the "terrible crimes" that the billionaire financier has been accused of.
An indictment against Epstein has charged him with sex trafficking and sex trafficking conspiracy, but he has pled not guilty to all of the charges.
No one asked Clinton about his opinion on the matter, but it seems that the former President decided that it would be a good idea to get out in front of the news about his friend. A statement from a Clinton spokesperson read, "In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip."
The statement also explicitly denied that Clinton ever visited Epstein's now-infamous private island.
He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein's New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida," the statement continued.
According to prosecutors, Epstein operated a "vast network" for child human trafficking between 2002 and 2005, which allowed him to "sexually exploit and abuse dozens of underage girls."
The indictment also says that he paid his victims to recruit other underage girls, which "allowed Epstein to create an ever-expanding web of new victims."
"In so doing, Epstein maintained a steady supply of new victims to exploit," prosecutors said.
More evidence was discovered after the arrest, during the raid of Epstein's Manhattan mansion. Prosecutors said that they found multiple nude photographs of "what appeared to be underage girls."
According to the indictment, Epstein did not work alone either, he "worked and conspired with others, including employees and associates," who helped protect him and facilitate his crimes.
Epstein lured new victims into his home under the pretenses of being paid to give a massage, but then he would force himself on the victims.
"The victims, who were as young as 14 years of age, were told by Epstein or other individuals to partially or fully undress before beginning the 'massage,'. During the encounter, Epstein would escalate the nature and scope of physical contact with his victims to include, among other things, sex acts such as groping and direct and indirect contact with the victim's genitals," the indictment says.
It has been reported that many new victims are going to be testifying in this case. Considering the new witnesses and the additional evidence found during the raid, it is very possible that Epstein will not be able to buy his way out of trouble as he has in the past. Now Jeffrey Epstein has become a household name for all the wrong reasons, and it will not be so easy to hide from his crimes.

Nancy Pelosi wondered after the Capitol riot if there was anyone at the White House who wasn't kissing Trump's 'fat butt': book

Pelosi wondered after the insurrection if people in Trump's orbit stood up to him, a new book says.
She asked if anyone at the White House was "doing anything but kissing his fat butt," the book says.
And she pressed Milley on how Trump could be stopped from ordering a nuclear launch, the book adds.
Two days after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol in a deadly attempt to overturn the 2020 election results, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wanted to know if anyone in President Donald Trump's orbit was willing to stand up to him, a new book says.
"Is there anybody in charge at the White House who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt all over this?" Pelosi asked Gen. Mark Milley during a heated phone call. That's according to "Peril," a book by The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, an early copy of which Insider obtained.
"Is there any reason to think that somebody, some voice of reason, could have weighed in with him?" she asked Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the book says. "So for this, we are very, very affected by this.
"This is not an accident. This is not something that you go, well, now that's done, let's go from there. Let's move on. It ain't that.
"This is deep what he did. He traumatized the staff. He assaulted the Capitol and the rest of that. And he's not going to get away with it. He's not going to be empowered to do more."
The California Democrat went on to describe Trump as "unhinged" and wondered if Milley could "prevail in the snake pit of the Oval Office and the crazy family as well."
"You'd think there'd been an intervention by now," Pelosi said at one point, according to the book. She added: "Republicans have blood on their hands and everybody who enables [Trump] to do what he does has blood on their hands and the traumatic effect on our country."
Citing a transcript of the January 8 call, Woodward and Costa write that Pelosi also asked Milley about how to curb Trump's power. Among other things, the book says she wanted to know what could be done "to prevent an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or from accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike?"
According to the book, Pelosi also told Milley, "The American people need some reassurance on this, General."
Milley said that while he couldn't publicly comment on the events at the Capitol, the "nuclear triggers are secure and we're not going to do — we're not going to allow anything crazy, illegal, immoral or unethical to happen," the book says.
The book adds that Pelosi pressed Milley on what steps he would take to ensure that, and he responded, "Well, we have procedures. There are launch codes and procedures that are required to do that. And I can assure you, as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I can assure you that will not happen."
When Pelosi continued asking what concrete buffers were in place to prevent Trump from acting on his worst impulses, Milley said there were procedures "which require authentication, certification, and any instructions have to come from a competent authority and they have to be legal," according to the book. He added: "And there has to be a logical rationale for any kind of use of nuclear weapon. Not just nuclear weapons, use of force."
In addition to Pelosi, Milley also spoke with his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng, on at least two occasions — once on October 30 and once on January 8 — to reassure him that the US would not launch a military strike against China, the book says.
Woodward and Costa's account of Milley's efforts to ward off a national security crisis in the wake of Trump's election loss has drawn sharp criticism from the former president, his advisors, and some former military officials.
Trump accused Milley of treason, and the retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman — who risked his career by blowing the whistle about what Trump said on official call between heads of state — called for the general's immediate resignation.
But White House press secretary Jen Psaki brushed off the criticism, telling reporters on Wednesday, "I can't speak to the former president's experience with him or the former president's views of him. But this president, this current president, who follows the Constitution, who's not fomenting an insurrection, who follows the rule of law, has complete confidence in Chairman Milley."
A spokesperson for Milley released a statement addressing Woodward and Costa's book, acknowledging his calls with Li and saying they were "in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability."

Human Behavior Theory And Social Work Practice by Roberta R. Greene
Genre : Social Science
Human Behavior Theory and Social Work Practice remains a foundation work for those interested in the practice and teaching of social work. Roberta Greene covers theoretical areas and individual theorists including classical psychoanalytic thought, Eriksonian theory, Carl Rogers, cognitive theory, systems theory, ecological perspectives, social construction, feminism, and genetics. She discusses the historical context, its philosophical roots, and major assumptions of each theory. The general theme, which distinguishes this volume, is that the person-in-environment perspective has been a central influence in the formation of the profession's knowledge base, as well as its approach to practice. Greene provides perspective on how individuals and social systems interact. This book examines how social workers can use theory to shape social work practice by increasing his or her understanding of and potential for enhancing human well-being. Greene covers the relationship between human behavior theory and professional social work practice. She also explores the challenges and limitations of each theory and addresses the following issues: how the theory serves as a framework for social work practice; how the theory lends itself to an understanding of individual, family, group, community, or organizational behavior; what the implications are of the theory for social work interventions or practice strategies; and what role it proposes for the social worker as a change agent. Throughout the profession's history, social workers have turned to a number of theoretical approaches for the organizing concepts needed to define their practice base. The aims of social work--to improve societal conditions and to enhance social functioning of and between individuals, families, and groups--are put into action across all fields of practice and realized through a variety of methods in a range of settings. This third edition, completely revised, represents a fundamental contribution to the field, and like its predecessors, will be widely used as a basic text.
Exam Prep For Contemporary Human Behavior Theory A by
Human Behavior Theory And Applications by Elizabeth DePoy
Editor : SAGE Publications
In Human Behavior Theory and Applications, authors Elizabeth DePoy and Stephen Gilson use a critical thinking approach to engage students to think in depth about theory and its use in social work practice. With a strong focus on diversity, this book expands its theory coverage to include progressive and the most cutting-edge contemporary thinking. The authors skillfully introduce theory, critically examine each theory, including developmental theories, environmental theories, diversity theories, systems theories, and new and emerging theories, and then apply each theory to social work practice providing a synthesis of classical and contemporary theory for scholarly analysis and application to professional, intellectual, and social action.
Human Behavior by SUSAN P.. GALAMBOS ROBBINS (COLLEEN.)

At about 1500 Eastern Standard Time on 6 April 2017, a Robinson Helicopter R44 II, registered VH‑MQE, departed from Melanie Camp landing area, Queensland. The pilot and three passengers were on board the scenic charter flight.
After about half an hour into the scenic flight, the pilot commenced a large orbit around a lake that was located about 15 km NE of Melanie Camp.

Aviation Short Investigations Bulletin - Issue 62
At about 1500 Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 6 April 2017, a Robinson Helicopter R44 II, registered VH‑MQE (MQE), departed from Melanie Camp landing area, Queensland. The pilot and three passengers were on board the scenic charter flight.
After about half an hour into the scenic flight, the pilot commenced a large orbit around a lake that was located about 15 km NE of Melanie Camp. They turned downwind at about 550 ft above ground level (AGL), with an airspeed of about 65 knots and the main rotor RPM was about 101 per cent. About 15 seconds later, the main rotor low RPM horn sounded through the pilot's headset. The pilot observed the main rotor low RPM warning light illuminate and a rapid decrease in main rotor speed. The pilot advanced the engine throttle and lowered the collective[1] but found that this made little difference with no increase in main rotor speed even though full engine power was applied. Shortly afterwards, the pilot initiated an autorotation[2] and prepared to land on a beach.
As the helicopter approached the landing spot, the pilot arrested the helicopter's rate of descent and the skids contacted the sand in a run-on landing.[3] After touchdown, the helicopter continued to travel forward about 3 m before the left skid dug into soft sand, which resulted in a dynamic roll over.[4] The helicopter came to rest on the left side (Figure 1). The pilot unfastened their seat belt and noted that the engine was not operating. They turned the fuel selector to off, moved the engine throttle to idle cut off, and turned off the engine magneto switches and the electrical master switch. The pilot and three passengers exited the helicopter through the right forward and aft exits.
About 40 minutes later, a company helicopter that had also been flying in the area located them. There were no injuries and the helicopter was substantially damaged (Figure 1).

Pilot comment
The pilot provided the following comments:
They had flown in this area previously. On the day of the accident, they had flown MQE to Coen Airport to pick up the passengers and flown back to Melanie Camp landing area without any issues.
They were using a noise-cancelling headset (active noise reduction), which cancelled out any ambient noise. The pilot noted that if they did not have this type of headset they may have been able to hear if there were any unusual engine noises.
At an altitude of about 550 ft they felt that there was insufficient height to position the helicopter into wind for landing. From that height, it was not possible to estimate the slope or the nature of the landing surface. After the landing, the pilot determined that the sand was very soft with a slight downslope towards the direction of the landing.
At about 10 minutes prior to the main rotor low RPM warning, the clutch light had illuminated. The light extinguished in about 4 seconds, which was within the normal operating limits for the clutch light. The pilot indicated that there had been no other issues with the clutch mechanism during the day.
The helicopter had sufficient fuel for the flight and was within the weight and balance limits.
They had not experienced such a dramatic decrease in main rotor RPM before, despite conducting practice autorotations.
Operator comment
The operator reported that subsequent to the accident, the helicopter sustained substantial damage due to ocean tide (Figure 2). The operator was not able to provide any information in relation to any mechanical defects that may have contributed to the accident.

Previous accident
Another ATSB investigation (AO-2012-096 - Ditching involving Robinson R44, 83 km N of Horn Island Airport, Queensland) documented the accident pilot using a noise-cancelling headset on the flight. The accident pilot believed that the headset may have dampened any abnormal engine sounds. Consequently, they only became aware of the engine problems when the engine governor failed.
Safety analysis
Due to the nature of the subsequent damage to the helicopter after the accident the integrity of the helicopter systems prior to the accident were not determined. Consequently, the reason for the loss of main rotor speed was not determined.
The pilot indicated that if a noise-cancelling headset was not used then they would have been able to hear the ambient noises and detect any changes in the 'normal' sounds of the helicopter.
These findings should not be read as apportioning blame or liability to any particular organisation or individual.
At about 550 ft, after the main rotor low RPM warning system activated, the pilot initiated an autorotation and the helicopter rolled onto the left side after landing. The reason for the main rotor low RPM warning was not determined.
The pilot was using a noise-cancelling headset that may have masked any abnormal sounds from the helicopter prior to the low rotor RPM warning.
The noise-cancelling headset worn by the pilot may have masked changes in the 'normal' sounds of the helicopter. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Airworthiness Article 1-43 Noise Isolating Headsets highlights that noise attenuating and noise-cancelling headsets can in some circumstances reduce the effectiveness of aural cues, such as abnormal noises, which might give some warning of unusual operations.
Collective is the primary helicopter flight control that simultaneously affects the pitch of all blades of the lifting rotor. Collective input is the main control for vertical velocity.
Autorotation is a condition of descending flight where, following engine failure or deliberate disengagement, the rotor blades are driven solely by aerodynamic forces resulting from rate of descent airflow through the rotor. The rate of descent is determined mainly by airspeed.
A run-on landing refers to where the helicopter still has forward speed.
Dynamic rollover is when the helicopter starts to pivot laterally around its skid or wheel.

It's no surprise that, when there is a good channel of communication between parents and teachers, pupil attainment is improved. There is much evidence to support this and many studies have been undertaken that show that schools that encourage, facilitate and develop better communication with parents constantly improve – not just academic standards – but pupil motivation, behaviour and attendance too.
Parents that are kept in the loop feel more empowered, better in control of their children's learning and attainment, are more likely to be engaged and have a better attitude towards the school and the teaching staff too.
For teachers, having up-to-date knowledge of pupils' home situations, on a week-by-week and sometimes day-to-day basis, allows for better understanding of their pupil needs and requirements so they can better meet them. Apps that facilitate and allow for easy-to-manage communication, can only be a win-win for teachers, parents and of course pupils!
Class 123 is essentially a neat little application that gamifies the interactions occurring in the classroom, however this underestimates the programme because it has many other features that will prove to be invaluable for the busy teacher. Perhaps the most important is the link it offers to the parent, a vital part of the teaching process.
Registering the app as a teacher is very easy with pleasant mobile friendly screen that gets you up and running quickly. When Class 123 is set up on your mobile you can do a number of things, however the app is best worked in conjunction with the web based application, which could be displayed on your classroom whiteboard or TV.
At the start of each lesson, many teachers ask for the students to take out their writing equipment and homework diaries or journals. The latter items have been part of students' lives for many years now. In them, lies the difference between homework being done or not, on time or late, done correctly or done wrongly.
It's a pity then that this item of such importance is so often lost and, with it, the chance for a student to avoid the sanctions of homework not done. It is also a shame that children's confidence in their ability to later translate the few cryptic words with which they have described their homework in their journals is rarely justified. Notes to accompany the homework are folded up and stored within the pages of the journal, falling out and deteriorating as the days pass.
Homework journals have never been up to their task of standing between a student and the steely gaze of a teacher asking where the due homework is. An app comes to the rescue in the form of Show My Homework.
Parents are also brought into the process. Children can't suggest they have no homework if their parent can see exactly what they have been set. This involvement doesn't have to be purely as an overseer either. Seeing the homework tasks might prompt an idea for parents to make children's learning more enjoyable.
ShowMe Interactive whiteboard app is an application that allows teachers and students of any age to create presentations called 'ShowMe's that can be shared via the device on online privately or to a community audience. The user can record and create engaging voice over presentations of their chosen topic by using some of the many tools such as adding text, drawings, photos and images.
You can also access other peoples 'ShowMe'content covering a vast selection of academic subject matter as well as non academic topics. You can also subscribe to a premium service that provides an number of extra features such as private postings options, advanced tools, more storage and specified group sharing.
The ShowMe interactive whiteboard app is a tool with great potential for both teaching and learning.
Otus Teacher is a surprisingly sophisticated and intuitive managed learning environment designed to assist a teacher in the administrative, pedagogical and assessment functions of their work.
Once a class is set up the teacher has a number of options to work with, they can track attendance, post to a bulletin board, set up a flag system to identify particular common issues for students i.e. Special Needs, set up a recognition system both positive and negative which is colour coordinated for tracked and finally a handy feature to restrict access to the internet to avoid distractions!
The application has a thriving community of users and enables communicate with all stakeholders, including parents.


Where are all the teachers of color? A response from one of them.
I recently had the humbling privilege of reading, "Where Are All the Teachers of Color?" by Josh Moss (2016). This quote caught my attention enough to want to expound on it. As I maneuvered through the other reading, I kept this one line/ quote in my head but it later made its way to my heart. As I've gone along conducting empathy interviews this past week which is a central part of my current graduate study, I kept this quote close. As I walked through the hallways of my current school, this quote resonated. As I thought about our class session this past Tuesday, the quote kept lingering and burning. As I reflected upon my own K-12 schooling, I thought about the faces that had greeted me at doors.
Not enough mirrors…Not enough of me seeing the possibilities, the opportunities and even an adequate representation of a majority of those that looked just like me. Many years later, here were are, having to face this reality that there are still not enough mirrors. Where the population of the minority has now become the majority, still no mirrors. As we briefly discussed during last Tuesday's class, one can only wonder if the intentionality will ever be there?
We continue to talk about the initiatives to attract teachers of color to the classroom and even with these initiatives, the data is still startling. What about this system doesn't appeal to teachers of color? I actually can answer that question by sharing my own perspective and truth. I made a personal and later public vow (after I resigned from teaching) that I would never (willingly) be apart of the problem. I wouldn't lie to students via final grades reflecting their allegedly learned skills and competencies and then pass them on. For students that couldn't read, I wouldn't simply excuse it. I would move beyond calling it out but help that student learn to do what other sometimes seem to brush easily past. I will not look into the eyes of innocent faces and not try my best to properly equip them for futures that await them. So for this particular teacher of color, no amount of money and/or incentive could ever get me back into a classroom to pass on those lies and such inequitable practices that I had to witness daily and I still sadly observe in schools across this country.
The numbers will continue to be what they are if that's a part of the argument of any teacher of color, and I do not pass any blame. I totally empathize with their stance. Regardless, it's indeed mine. There is another mirror that one is forced to see and that is the one that looks back at you. At the end of it all, the journey, after the bell rings, one has to look back at themselves in the mirror of truth and own everything he or she has done morally or immorally.
Why the turnover? Because maybe teachers of color can't bear what comes with the harsh realities of that mirror. I am not sure there will ever be enough mirrors.
I also found the image of the mirror to be very moving and profound. I very much appreciate hearing your story of why you've stepped out of teaching. My questions is what can we do in our process of designing our schools to create systems and environments that make educators' reflections less harsh at the end of the day?

As part of our assembly programme at Bucksburn Academy we have invited Teenage Cancer Trust to speak to our S2 students on Thursday 22 February 2018 about cancer and health.
Who is the Teenage Cancer Trust?
Teenage Cancer Trust is a national charity dedicated to help young people fight cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust's national Understanding Cancer Education Programme is recognised by the Government as it raises awareness of cancer which can lead to earlier diagnosis of cancer in the long term.
By the end of the presentation all students should know more about early warning signs and how they can reduce their risk of cancer later in life. Throughout the presentation students will be encouraged to become the experts of their own body and to speak to health professionals about any concerns.
The presentation will be given by a trained professional speaker from Teenage Cancer Trust and is delivered in a sensitive way. If you have any concerns, please do speak to the school and we will ensure that your child is supported.
Improved awareness can help to stop cancer before it starts, and break down fears about cancer. For more details, please read our transforming knowledge report on our website by clicking here.
Teenage Cancer Trust want your child to have this opportunity to learn about cancer and feel more able to talk openly about their health because it's been proven to make a difference. Please do support this by talking to your child about what they have learned and encouraging them to be open about any health concerns they may have. Leaflets will be handed out at the end of the presentation that cover the main points and may be of interest to you.


"It is the destiny of mint to be crushed."
This is the best accompaniment to any spicy food you can imagine. The combination of the cool cucumber and the fresh yogurt is perfect.
This recipe keeps well for about 36 hours in the refrigerator.
Slice the cucumber lengthwise. Seed the cucumber. Using a shredder, shred the cucumber including the skin.
Fold the cucumber together with the yogurt, salt, mint, and pepper. Chill.

With commencement, Class of 2018 enters world of change
By: Mark Walden
Today, members of the Class of 2018 received the degrees that they worked so hard to attain. Honored guests and familiar friends, rising to congratulate them, made clear that these graduates are taking their liberal arts education into a world of change.
Even traditional pre-commencement events — a cappella concerts, receptions, Senior Torchlight Procession, and Baccalaureate — were punctuated by innovations:
For the first time, honorary degree recipients — including entrepreneur and cultural critic Sian-Pierre Regis '06, chess champion and political activist Garry Kasparov, and Thomas A. Bartlett Chair and Professor of English emerita Jane Lagoudis Pinchin — engaged with seniors and their family members in small group sessions. Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe and Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass also received honorary doctorates this weekend.
The university's 2018 Jerome Balmuth Award for Teaching and Student Engagement recipients, professors Chris Vecsey and Lourdes Rojas-Paiewonsky, along with 1819 Award winner Lauren Sanderson '18, addressed the Class of 2018 during Baccalaureate services.
President Brian W. Casey himself took on the role of Baccalaureate speaker, telling seniors, "You have been given great possibilities and challenges because of the time in which you find yourself." He continued, "I wish you courage and the strength to meet them. Meet them with grace and care; greet them with the best version of you — the world needs that."
With Sunday's commencement ceremony came a renewal of the theme, first by Casey, who reminded graduates that, "Not one of you was spared thoughts you did not agree with, not one of you escaped arguments in the classroom, not one of you was spared the anguish of finishing a paper late in the night when words and ideas escaped you. This was your education."
Haass delivered the 2018 commencement address, informed by a 40-year career in public policy, and it provided a stark assessment of today's world.
"The reality is that the world you are entering is one filled by a large number of uncertainties and threats," he said. "The quantity and quality of the challenges facing the United States and the world are unprecedented in my experience."
But — with China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, and a series of domestic issues complicating the landscape outside of Sanford Field House — Haass focused on three particular slow-moving crises: the future of work, climate change, and America's growing federal debt.
The workplace has radically changed since grandparents in the Class of 2018 took jobs and stayed with one employer until retirement. Employment is fluid now, and benefits like retirement and sick leave must be changed to reflect this reality.
"Such reforms will not just happen; it will require citizens — that is, you and the people sitting next to you — along with those who represent them to bring them about."
As for climate change, Haass said, "In your lifetime, Miami may no longer be a viable spring break destination."
The usual workaday responses of recycling and driving hybrid cars no longer suffice.
"You should learn enough about the policy options relevant to climate change (or other important issues for that matter) so that you put yourself in a position to know which municipal, state, corporate, national, and international policies and initiatives to support and which to oppose," Haass said.
On the topic of the national debt, Haass warned that the current rate of debt would eventually prevent the United States from pursuing efforts in research, education, infrastructure, and even dealing with another recession.
"Your generation is not responsible for creating this enormous debt but it will be responsible for fixing it," Haass said. "This may not be fair, but it is your lot."
But Haass is not without hope. "That we know these crises are unfolding is a good thing if we choose to do something about them sooner rather than later."
He reminded the Class of 2018 that, in doing something, facts matter, and that only by educating themselves could they participate in finding solutions.
"Citizenship is a privilege, but with privilege comes responsibility. There is no excuse not to vote. Nor is there an excuse for not knowing about the issues and candidates you vote on," he said. "I hope you will leave this wonderful campus more committed than before to studying and then doing something about the issues certain to shape your future. I can think of no better way to put the education you have gained here at Colgate to better use."
