Much of the typical school day goes against the nature of the average child. Kids are required to sit still and remain attentive for long hours. There is also a lot of new information that they must digest. Most children eagerly await the dismissal bell so they can return home to relax and play.
For these and other reasons, getting kids excited about learning and school isn't always easy. When you add homework to the mix, it can become even more difficult to keep your children engaged. Fortunately, the following strategies will help you keep your kids motivated when it is time to complete their homework.
It is first important to establish a routine for your child. The routine that you create should be reflective of your own kid's needs and abilities. Some kids do best when they tackle their school work shortly after walking in the front door. Others, however, need more time to themselves. Find out what works best for your child and then stick to the routine that you establish.
Most children find it hard to focus when they are hungry. In fact, when they are hungry, being hungry is all they can think about. After a quick and healthy snack, children can then sit down, focus, and get started on their homework.
Healthy snack foods will prevent them from getting the short, jittery burst of energy that refined and simple carbohydrates and sugars provide. Set out fresh fruit, whole grain bread or crackers along with cheese, or think about creating a high-protein snack. It is never too late in the day to give kids a little brain fuel.
Many younger children are having a harder time than ever before when it comes to concentrating on their homework. This is because they have far more distractions than children had in the past. Kids cannot focus on their homework when they have computers, tablets, phones or TV's readily available.
Putting away electronic devices during study time will give kids more incentive to stay focused and work hard. They know that once they complete the required activities, they can get back to doing what they want to do. This helps to establish an understanding of the importance of prioritizing work.
Identify specific concepts and subjects that your child is struggling with and look online or talk with your child's teacher for the best educational resources and tools. Supplying your child with the right resources for overcoming these hurdles will elevate their interest in these subjects.
You should also look for ways to bolster your child's newly developed skills. For instance, you might find a colorful, rap music video that focuses solely on addition tables or letters of the alphabet. Try quizzing your child throughout the evening to reinforce this new knowledge and help further his or her understanding.
Reward your child for studying diligently and remaining focused on his or her work. This does not mean buying a prize from the store for each night of effort. Instead, allow your child to play his or her video game for a half hour longer, watch a little extra television or play outside with friends more. This helps to create a healthy balance between learning and enjoying the carefree existence that all kids deserve.

Q: how do I construct np-reduction for this matching problem? I have a matching problem, which I think is np-hard:
We need to arrange a dinner for a group of n people, some of the people are friends with eachother, some are not. We need to sit everyone at a table, but they should never sit with someone that they are not friends with. There are *k* tables K = r1+r2+···+rk=n.

**Input**
input is formatted as one first line k, then follow one line of k numbers, where each number represents a table and it's capacity. Then comes n lines of people, where we can see friendships of person i. All friendships are mutual.

**Output**

Output the formations of people that can be seated together, without having to sit with someone that they are not friends with

 example:
 Input:
 2
 3, 3
 Alice:  Bob, Claire, Eric, Juliet, Romeo
 Bob:  Alice, Claire, Juliet, Romeo
 Claire:  Alice, Bob, Juliet
 Eric:  Alice, Romeo
 Juliet:  Alice, Bob, Claire
 Romeo:  Alice, Bob, Eric

 Output:
 Romeo, Eric, Alice
 Bob, Claire, Juliet

Im fairly certain that this problem is np-complete, but I am having some problems finding a proper reduction.
The example corresponds to the following (badly drawn)graph:

I have a loose idea around using a complimentary graph to reduce to independent set. but i would be very gratefull for any ideas for solutions

A: Clique problem reduction
First off, note that NP is a class for decision problems, so we'll adjust the question to "is there a table arrangement?" instead of "output the table arrangement". In practice there is of course no real difference.
Now, given a graph, let's say we want to know if there is a clique of at least size k. This is the (decision) clique problem, which is one of the famous NP-complete problems.
This graph will have at least one clique of size k if and only if your matching problem has a solution for the same graph, with a table of size k. The seating for all the others should be unconstrained, so we have n-k one-seat tables.
Thus, we can create an instance of the matching problem that is equivalent to any instance of a known NP-complete problem. This instance is roughly the same size (no exponential blow-up), so this constitutes a reduction, proving that the matching is NP-hard. As it is also (clearly?) in NP, it is also NP-complete.

Shows / The Michael J. Fox Show
Look who's making the news again! One of NY's most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox), put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. But now five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get back to work. Having never wanted Mike to leave in the first place, his old boss Harris Green jumped at the chance to get him back on TV. The trick, as it's always been, was to make Mike think it was his idea. After several – okay, many - failed attempts, Mike's family, anxious to see him out of the house, finally succeeded in getting him to "run into" Green. Now their plan is in motion. He'll be back to juggling home, family, and career, just like the old days – only better.

Tebow's debut featured classic matchup of good vs. evil
By BY Examiner Staff • December 20, 2010 12:00 am
A little of this, and a lot of that …
– I'm not saying that God takes a rooting interest in the outcome of games, but I've got it on good authority that The Almighty had a cloud reserved directly above the 50-yard-line to watch his favorite player make his first start at the Oakland Coliseum on Sunday.
Oh, and you'll have to excuse those sandwich-board-wearers marching through Oakland during the Raiders-Broncos game on Sunday proclaiming "The End is Near!" After all, if Tim Tebow battling the forces of the Black Hole isn't the Armageddon battle between good and evil, it's at least on the undercard.
– Eagles quarterback and convicted dog-torturer Michael Vick interrupted his resurgent, MVP-caliber season to announce that he wants to own a dog again because, "I'm not a psychopath. I'm not crazy."
Ummm, maybe it's just me, but Vick having a dog in his home is just about the worst idea I've heard since Ben Roethlisberger tried to adopt a 19-year-old college student.
Or since an unemployed Mike Tyson applied for work as a beauty-pageant consultant.
Or since an NFL team placed a card bearing the name of JaMarcus Russell atop its NFL draft board.
Or since another team did the same thing with the name "Alex Smith."
– A talk radio show in Nashville took a call from a listener named "Woody" last week, who proceeded to blast Titans coach Jeff Fisher. According to the hosts, they believed the voice of "Woody" to be that of Titans' wide receiver Randy Moss, impersonating a fan.
Moss certainly has a talent for it, as he's been impersonating Darrius Heyward-Bey since joining the Titans. He has five catches in six weeks.
– Anybody else find it clinically insane that players for the Vikings and Bears complaining about playing on a frozen, snowy field tonight at the University of Minnesota instead of in the toasty comfort of the damaged Metrodome? Oh, that's right — they live in the tropical cities of Minneapolis and Chicago. They're not used to the cold.
– Upon further investigation, New York Jets' general manager Mike Tannenbaum has determined that Sal Alosi also instructed Julian Assange to publish classified federal documents, Cliff Lee to spurn the Yankees and sign with the Phillies, and Brett Favre to send pictures of his ol' gunslinger to Jenn Sterger. Rex Ryan, of course, knew nothing about any of it.
– Speaking of Cliff Lee, ignorant sportswriters who compare his joining Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels in the Philly rotation to LeBron James joining Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh should probably find another line of work. Unlike James, Lee called his owner personally to tell him he was leaving, didn't hold a televised orgy of self-glorification, and didn't stab his teammates in the back by throwing a playoff series.
Oh, one more thing: It's not like Lee staying with the AL champions or joining CC Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Texiera, Robinson Cano, etc., etc., etc. in New York wouldn't have been latching onto a title-ready team anyway.
– Finally, talk show hosts in the Bay Area can be relatively sure that if someone named "Woody" calls in to trash Mike Singletary and demand his firing, it's not Randy Moss. It's likely to be Troy Smith.
Unless it's Jed York.

Julien-Léopold Lobin (* 8. Februar 1814 in Loches; † 11. Mai 1864 in Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire) war ein französischer Maler und Glasmaler.

Familie
Julien-Léopold Lobin war der Sohn eines ehemaligen Soldaten und Kaufmanns, der bereits 1824 starb. Julien-Léopold verzichtete auf ein angestrebtes Kunststudium und arbeitete in einem Geschäft in Tours. 1836 heiratete er seine reiche Cousine Adélaïde Discouzis (1818–1880). Aus dieser Ehe entstammten vier Kinder: Lucien-Léopold (1837–1892), Alfred-Marcel (1842–1862), Alfred-Adolphe (1845–1847) und Marie-Mathilde (1848–1864). Trotz der Verantwortung für seine Familie gab er 1838 seine Arbeit auf und begann in Paris Malerei zu studieren. Im Jahr 1841 reiste er zum Studium nach Italien und 1842, von 1844 bis 1846 wurde er im Salon de Paris ausgestellt.

Glasmalerei

Ab 1847 schuf Julien-Léopold Lobin Kartons für die im gleichen Jahr gegründete Glasmalerei in Tours, dessen Leitung er ab September 1848 übernahm. In den nächsten Jahren kaufte er nach und nach alle Anteile des Unternehmens, um unabhängig arbeiten zu können. Bereits 1855 hatte das Atelier Lobin 51 Beschäftigte und 1859 zog es in die Rue des Ursulines Nr. 35 in Tours. Im Jahr 1862 wurde die Werkstatt vergrößert. Bis zum Tod von Julien-Léopold Lobin im Jahr 1864 hatte das Atelier über 300 großformatige Fenster hergestellt und viele weitere Aufträge erfüllt. In 650 Kirchen finden sich Fenster seiner Werkstatt, die nahezu alle nach seinen Vorlagen geschaffen wurden.

Julien-Léopold Lobin hatte schnell großen Erfolg, da er enge Kontakte zum Klerus pflegte und bei Ausstellungen in Paris und der Provinz seine Arbeiten präsentierte. Ebenso veröffentlichte er 1863 einen Verkaufskatalog. Er beschäftigte mehrere Vertreter, die in den französischen Regionen Aufträge requirierten.

Sein Sohn Lucien-Léopold, der bereits 1863 Teilhaber geworden war, übernahm die Geschäftsführung des florierenden Unternehmens nach dem Tod des Vaters.

Fuel is a material with one type of energy which can be transformed into another usable energy. A common example is potential energy being converted into kinetic energy, (as heat and mechanical work). In many cases this is just something that will burn.
1 Solid fuels
2 Liquid and gas fuels
3 Nuclear fuels
4 Other fuel
5 Fuel values
Solid fuels[]
A lump of coal.
There are many different types of fuel. Solid fuels include coal, wood and peat. All these types of fuel are combustible (they create fire and heat). Coal was burnt by Steam locomotives for rail transport to heat water into steam to move parts and provide power. Peat and wood are mainly used for domestic and industrial heating, though peat has been used for power generation, and wood-burning steam locomotives were common in times past. Steam power is becoming more and more desirable as oil and gas supplies begin to run out, given the wide number of possible things that can burn to heat water.
Liquid and gas fuels[]
Non-solid fuels include petroleum and gas (both fuel types have myriad varieties including petrol (gasoline) and natural gas). The former is widely used in the internal combustion engine while both are used in power generation.
Nuclear fuels[]
In a nuclear reaction a radioactive fuel will undergo fission. This provides a useful source of energy without combustion. Also, in stars (and our sun), hydrogen (a gas) is the fuel for the nuclear fusion.
Other fuel[]
Hydrogen Gas in a Flask (it is colourless).
Hydrogen also features as an upcoming fuel for automobiles with Oxygen in the Fuel Cell. This involves a reaction where the hydrogen and oxygen react to produce water (H2O) and electrical energy, however most of the energy comes from turning hydrogen into electrons which is electricity and protons using platinum as a catalyst, which, then can supply an electrical motor in order to run a car (or a variety of other uses). In this reaction the chemical energy of the chemicals is converted into electrical energy due to redox.
Carbohydrates [1], fats [2], and proteins, derived from food, are the fuels for biological systems. For instance, glucose (a simple carbohydrate) combines with oxygen to produce water, carbon-dioxide, and a release of energy. In the bodies of most animals, the released energy is used by the muscles [3].
Fuel values[]
Main article: Fuel value [4].
The fuel value is the quantity of potential energy in a food [5] or other substance.

OACS Ireland and Epilepsy Ireland meet with the Minister for Health
A spokesman for OACS Ireland and Epilepsy Ireland, supporting the families, said the meeting took place on Tuesday.
"The meeting was a frank exchange of views on the latest proposed terms of reference for the inquiry, between the patient groups and the minister and his officials," the spokesman said.
This is the second time the group have been presented with potential terms for an inquiry. The initial terms were amended following advice from the Attorney General.
The spokesman said families expressed their frustrations at the pace of progress in establishing the long-awaited inquiry.
They also discussed, he said, "The reservations that exist with the currently drafted terms; and how families continue to struggle to access services for their children living with foetal valproate spectrum disorder". He said the health minister expressed his commitment to the inquiry and to understanding the history of how this medication was used in Ireland.
"Our reservations remain in relation to the terms of reference, the powers of the inquiry, and ultimately on whether it will deliver answers for families," the spokesperson said.
"However, it has been made clear that the currently drafted terms are the maximum which can be delivered." He added: "OACS Ireland, as representatives of families affected, are now reflecting on the discussions, and will be consulting with members before deciding on whether to participate in the proposed inquiry or not." A spokeswoman for the health minister confirmed that officials and Mr Donnelly met the families.


The Greatest American Hero is an comedy-drama television series that aired for three seasons from 1981 to 1983 on ABC. Created by producer Stephen J. Cannell, it premiered as a two-hour movie pilot on March 18, 1981. The series stars William Katt as teacher Ralph Hinkley, Robert Culp as FBI Agent Bill Maxwell, and Connie Sellecca as lawyer Pam Davidson. The show chronicles Ralph's adventures after a group of aliens gives him a red suit that gives him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately, Ralph, who hates wearing the suit, immediately loses its instruction booklet, and thus has to learn how to use his powers by trial and error, often with comical results. The series was made into an on going comic book series published by Arcana.

While the idea of an English Tearoom, of addition in an English Bookstore is a must, Hey, there, what a waste! Stinginess, pettiness, and quality review. We came for Brunch, by a bird lunch. Orange juice served half the glass, a few beans, toast? 4 is slices of bread for 2 adults? Waahhouuuu, this one, it had never done us? good joke, it tells us that products all come from England and it is for this reason that this isn't very good? Ah good but M & S is 500 metres away and a box of beans, it costs 0.80 euros.? In short, passion details, asked so toast, therefore a supplement of 4 euros for same, 2 slices of bread. We did the account, this himselfwarm toast at 30 euros package :) Service door plate, like, "someone comes alone" said, "you're alone? instead of one you will be accompanied? In short, not very pro. Are still up to get our 4 extra toast, and there was a small Exchange in the kitchen, in short we understand that the atmosphere is not top.. .we coming back, it's a pity the idea was... interesting! If you need advice and coaching, we're available and free!
Very nice bookshop with a lot of choice in English books. I didn't know what I wanted and got some valuable help. I will come back there.
You can sit on comfortable sofas and chairs. One of the best place for reading and working in a quite, nice atmosphere in Paris.


I can't even begin to tell you how quiet this past week has been. Most people has left for the summer and the ones who have to stay are left behind stuck here until our work gets done. It's been nearly a year I've been away from home and there are a lot of things I miss about home so I can't wait to get this done and go back. But at the same time, I'll really miss this place. It's a great place to study and meet lots of new people. Here are some random pictures of what I've been up to lately (some of them are not so new).
Zuddin graduated last week so congratulations to him. And here's what's left of the Spenceleys.
Parathas for dinner, back at the old Spenceley.
I've always wanted one of these cos it's not your typical cliche barbie dolls.
Our last pose with the old place after we moved everything out.
This was taken when I had a lunch date with Izzy at Patisserie Valerie.
Rant aside, I'm seriously getting really busy. I guess I still haven't seen the whole picture but I have a good idea about the length of work I need to be doing now. Let's just say I've not exceeded my own expectations so I have to tear myself away from all those unnecessary social networking sites and focus on getting the implementation done. That includes blogging, right?
Sorry for the one-picture-per-post. I'm just experimenting.
The trip to Venice a couple of days ago was quite exhausting yet exciting although we needed cold drinks and ice cream ever couple of hours to recharge because the weather was unbearably hot. But nevertheless, we had a fine time exploring the city on foot, in a gondola, on a waterbus, you name it we had it. In one day itself, we had the opportunity to travel on land, on water and on air so we can't possibly top that.
This is St. Mark's square, the most famous landmark in Venice. Definitely not one to miss. In the evening, tourists trong this place because it's just beautiful and romantic especially if you dine in one of the restaurants here because they have live music to sooth your dining experience.
Izzy, Raizul, his mum and I posing in front of St. Mark's Basillica, another fine landmark in the square.
The main canal that runs through the heart of the city.
It was too hot for us to handle, I gave up and took out my trusty umbrella who has travelled with me for miles all the way from my UBD days.
A yacht sailing through Di Fusina canal.
One of the many canals in Venice. Bridges and boats are aplenty in this city.
It had been a great weekend for me and I had a wonderful time here in this city. Hopefully, I get to visit many other places in the future although I'm not much of a travel person.
The end of June came which means moving houses for many of us as term contracts come to an end. I don't want to bore you with all the gory details of our experiences cleaning our flat but I've got some quick pictures that will run you through the course of our excruciating glory.
A couple of days before the move, we had to clear out the food in the refrigerator so we had a small party with whatever food we have left. It was a weird dinner experience as we had salty fish with parathas and extremely spicy curry with mixed meat (sausages, burger meat, fish balls and crab meat).
AJ came around to help us out. Here's half of the Spenceleys and AJ.
We had to move the broken TV to the side to make way for the dinner. You see, we don't have a dining table. True story.
Ebom was at the party as well, but she only had carrots because she's on a diet. A guinea pig diet, that is.
The night wouldn't be complete without us camwhoring so there you go.
Mizan dropped in as well. And I think he made a truck out of the Lego set we have.
After the party's over, it was time to get down to business. That, in Spenceley term, means messing up the living room. We only had one box so it was pretty hard deciding what to put in that box considering that most items are fragile.
Here's Zudin clearing out the kitchen. We had so many stuff that we had to throw out most of them. We had more than 20 trash bags by the time we finish.
And after a while, Izzy became the teapot.
We barely slept for three nights, but the satisfaction of clearing out stuff made up for that, albeit feeling a little guilty for throwing away lots of good stuff. We simply can't carry them all with us.
We also Skyped with Raizul that one night. I haven't seen him in months! He'll be coming over in the next couple of days and we're all excited for that.
How's my new room, you ask? Besides the traffic noise and the fact that we have flatmates who sleep at normal times unlike us so we have to keep quite at night, I think I'll survive. It's not so bad actually. The toilet is much better, the shower works perfectly and the kitchen's well-equipped. I'm just finding it hard to do my work because there is just something about this room that makes me feel lazy. On the bright side, I've been catching up with lots of TV series. But this month is supposed to be the busiest month so at one point I would have to kick myself back to reality. In the meantime, have a nice summer holiday!
Regardless if Novak wins or not tomorrow at The Championships final, he will be the new world number 1 come 4th of July. It's not surprising given that his performance this year is near perfect, having only lost once to Roger Federer this season. Federer and Nadal have hold the number one spot since 2004 so this is quite a refreshing change. I know I'm a bit bias, me being a big fan of Novak and all, but if someone else has taken the spot it would be just as refreshing. Where does the Nadal-Federer rivalry go from here? The way we see it, it's more of a fab four rather than a two men show now, with Murray not far behind the three.
Tomorrow I will be sticking to the laptop watching live stream of the final at 2pm so I don't expect myself to do something productive for the whole afternoon. This has become my life for the past two weeks. Yes, I'm a tennis junkie and I need a life.

Would-be Black female coaches face major obstacles
October 26, 2016 October 31, 2016 - by Charles Hallman
Nicole LaVoi MSR file photo
Two generations removed from the passage of Title IX in 1972, women college coaches are near an all-time low. But historically, if you are Black or another woman of color, these numbers have always been low.
According to the latest NCAA demographics data (2015), 49 percent of Division I head and assistant coaches of women sports are women and 51 percent were male in 1995-96, and it's 44 percent female and 56 percent male in 2014-15 a five percent decline for the women. However, in the racial/ethnic breakdown, 84 percent were White and 16 percent non-White in 1995-96, and 77 percent White and 23 percent non-White in 2014-15, a seven percent gain for non-Whites.
Nicole LaVoi, the University of Minnesota Tucker Center co-director, discussed this among several other topics during her October 19 lecture titled "Paradox, Pitfalls & Parity: Where Have All the Women Coaches Gone?"
"I can't point to one thing — there are a lot of things happening simultaneously," stated LaVoi.
However, on the second "P" — pitfalls — she continues, "Of coaches of color, both men and women, women of color is the minority of the minority" in all three NCAA college divisions.
A 2015 NCAA "Perceived Barriers" report surveyed 529 females of color and found that the three top obstacles to more Blacks and other females of color in leadership roles are 1) few are hired, 2) job availability, and 3) stereotyping of women in athletics.
These barriers LaVoi described are also discussed in her new book, Women in Sports Coaching. "I want to get more stories from [Black females and other women of color] because their stories are a little different" from those of White females, she told the MSR. "I need to do a better job of bringing their voices to the forefront."
LaVoi also talked about "homogenous reproduction" — people tending to hire only people who look like themselves, a common practice in college sports. The few Blacks who are in hiring positions often aren't accused of this practice. "They don't want to be, like, 'I'm Black so I don't want to hire all Black coaches," said the professor to the MSR after the lecture.
She also talked about "statistical tokens" and "marginization" when women hold "less important" roles. Black female assistant coaches often are "pigeonholed" in such positions "rather than tracked into head coaching roles," noted LaVoi.
Black women and other women of color often must deal with a "triple bond," LaVoi continued. "They are women — African American or [other] women of color — and they face racism. People believe that Black females" are more suited as athletes than coaches and leaders, she observed. And in those cases where Black females are head coaches, "They feel scrutinized and under a lot of pressure to perform. If you're a token at your workplace, you are more likely to see negative outcomes and more likely to burn out and quit."
Among those who attended LaVoi's lecture last week were two of her students, both Black female student-athletes who want to be coaches one day, they told the MSR.
"Sarah" (the student didn't want her name or sport published) said, "It was a little bit scary to see that women don't have a lot of opportunities. But if I push hard at it, I can break through it."
Senior soccer player Simone Kolander spoke of her desire to coach as well: "It's definitely something I like to do. A lot of my work experience has been in coaching youth soccer and youth basketball."
After her lecture, LaVoi told the MSR, "It's not just about women. It's about race, gender, sexual orientation to create inclusiveness. For change to happen, it doesn't happen by women only. We need to enlist the men as well."
Information from the NCAA and the Women's Sports Foundation was used in this report.

Discovering an interracial World War II American love story.
Rachel Schreiber
After enlisting in the US Army, Karl Yoneda left Manzanar for training at Fort Snelling in December 1942, and his wife and son visited him there in April 1943, when this photo was taken. Karl served as Japanese language specialist in China, Burma and India.
The drive from San Francisco to Manzanar is long even on contemporary highways driving 65 miles per hour, and in winter, it's still longer when one needs to skirt the Sierras to the south. This location would have been even more remote in the 1940s, when Elaine Black Yoneda lived there with her husband, Karl Yoneda, and their son, Tommy.
I went to Manzanar to photograph the site as part of an artist's commission that featured socially active but historically underrepresented San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Americans. The story of Elaine Black Yoneda, a Communist labor activist born in 1906, begins in a manner typical of many Eastern European Jewish immigrants. She was raised by well-educated, working-class parents who came to America seeking economic opportunity and freedom from religious persecution, and was regularly exposed to radical thought that shaped her criticisms of capitalism and abuses of workers. As she reached adulthood, however, her story departed from this stock narrative, first through her marriage to a Japanese American, and then as a Jewish woman living in a camp during World War II — but not a concentration camp in Europe; rather, a Japanese internment camp in California.
Sparks were in the air between Elaine and Karl from the moment they met in the Communist Party office in Los Angeles in 1930. They moved in together in San Francisco in 1933, but California anti-miscegenation laws barred their marriage, and they faced severe housing discrimination, turned away by landlords fearful of renting to an interracial couple.
But, as was true for many radicals of their time, they eschewed social conventions including ethnic, religious and legal strictures on their relationship. If it had been up to Karl and Elaine, they would never have married — a marriage license "wasn't going to do anything for me and Karl," Elaine said. When Elaine faced legal charges for her involvement with a free speech protest in Dolores Park in 1935, her lawyers advised that her cohabitation with Karl could be used against her. Elaine and Karl took a brief trip to Washington state, where interracial marriages were legal, and returned to San Francisco as husband and wife.
Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Karl was soon out of work. On March 23, 1942, he joined approximately 1,000 Japanese American voluntary evacuees who were all told they could find work constructing a relocation camp in Manzanar, CA, near a small town called Independence on the eastern side of the Sierras. A month prior, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the relocation of Americans of "enemy foreign ancestry," and camps needed to be built. Karl willingly went to Manzanar, but on his arrival, he quickly learned that he was not an employee. He later wrote in his memoir, "I was among the multitude who did not realize the significance of Executive Order 9066."
Elaine soon received notice that their 2-year-old son Tommy also needed to report to Manzanar — anyone of as little as one-sixteenth Japanese descent was to be interned, a guideline disturbingly reminiscent of the "one-drop" rules that applied to blacks during the era of their American enslavement, and also of Nazi Germany's contemporaneous laws used to determine Jewish ancestry.
Elaine insisted on accompanying Tommy because he suffered from chronically poor health. She was not the only non-Japanese to live in a Japanese internment camp during WWII — a small number of friends and family voluntarily joined Japanese Americans to express loyalty and support.
Throughout this time, Karl attempted to enlist in the US Army, a common move among Nisei who sought to demonstrate their patriotism. As Communists, both Karl and Elaine believed that the most urgent matter was to fight Fascism in Europe, and they supported the American war effort genuinely. In November 1942, Karl was accepted into the military.

Rachel, thank you for writing this very interesting and informative story. The past holds so many keys to help us understand why the world operates the way it does today. America's long history of racism and discrimination are still unfortunately prevalent in our society and we need to remember and share our predecessors' stories, as well as take action towards the eradication of injustice for future generations. What happened to Elaine and Karl's descendants?
Rachel wrote on Mon, 07/16/2012 - 6:48pm
Hello Alisa, Elaine had a daughter from a previous marriage, Joyce, who lived with her mother off and on throughout her life. She married, and I think she may have moved to Hawaii with her husband. I have seen her name among the tributes to Elaine after her death so I think it's safe to assume that they stayed close throughout Elaine's life. Tommy also married, and had 2 children. One of his children, Yvonne, wrote a paper about Karl and Elaine's experiences in the camps when she was in college at UC Davis. --Rachel

William Henry Lancaster (Los Angeles, 17 de novembro de 1947 – Los Angeles, 4 de janeiro de 1997) foi um roteirista e ator norte-americano.

Primeiros anos
Lancaster nasceu em 17 de novembro de 1947, em Los Angeles, Califórnia, filho do ator Burt Lancaster (1913–1994) e de Norma Anderson (1917–1988). Ele contraiu poliomielite muito jovem, o que deixou uma de suas pernas mais curta que a outra.

Carreira
Seguindo os passos artísticos de seu pai, Lancaster participou de um  episódio da telessérie The Big Valley em 1967. Também interpretou o papel de "King", o namorado de uma estudante universitária assassinada em The Midnight Man, um filme de mistério estrelado e codirigido por seu pai e lançado em 1974. No ano seguinte, ele interpretou o jovem Moisés na minissérie bíblica Moses the Lawgiver, também estrelada por Burt no papel do legislador hebreu.

O trabalho mais conhecido de Lancaster é seu roteiro adaptado para o filme The Thing (1982), dirigido por John Carpenter. Ele também roteirizou originais da cinessérie The Bad News Bears. O roteiro para o primeiro desses filmes, escrito em 1976, rendeu-lhe, no ano seguinte, o Prêmio de Melhor Roteiro de Comédia do Writers Guild of America.

Em 1982, ele trabalhou no primeiro rascunho de um roteiro para uma adaptação do romance Firestarter, de Stephen King, a qual também seria dirigida por Carpenter. No entanto, alguns meses depois, naquele mesmo ano, o cineasta contratou Bill Phillips para trabalhar na reescrita do esboço e Lancaster. Quando The Thing fracassou nas bilheterias, a Universal substituiu Carpenter por Mark L. Lester e ambos os esboços foram descartados em favor do roteiro de Stanley Mann.

No início da década de 1990, Lancaster trabalhou como produtor do programa Geraldo Rivera Show, um talk show popular na televisão norte-americana na época. Ele também participou do documentário The Thing: Terror Takes Shape (1998), encontrado na edição de colecionador do DVD de The Thing e que foi dedicado ao roteirista, morto recentemente quando o vídeo foi lançado. Seu roteiro de The Bad News Bears foi adaptado para a refilmagem do longa-metragem, lançada em 2005.

Vida pessoal
Lancaster era casado com Kippie Kovacs, filha do comediante Ernie Kovacs. Eles tiveram uma filha, Keigh Kristin.

Morte
Lancaster morreu de ataque cardíaco aos 49 anos. Suas cinzas foram sepultadas no Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, onde as cinzas de seu pai também estão enterradas. Sua filha Keigh, que morreu em 2017 aos 51 anos, também foi sepultada no mesmo local. O campo de West Los Angeles, onde Bill jogava beisebol quando criança, foi renomeado "Bad News Bears Field" em 2005 como uma homenagem ao roteirista.

Brei-Ca's Poodles started in 1990, when I decided that I wanted a real show dog.
Today Brei-Ca's Poodles is one of the most succesfull showkennels and beeing the first breeder in Denmark to have bred Danish Champions in all 4 varieties.
Since I was 8 years old, I have been breeding dogs. I started with the same bred as my father and grandfather had been breeding (Kleiner Münsterländers), but since I was not that much in to hunting, I decided to start with standard poodles.
My first poodle was World Winner 1992 Nesnah's Heavenly Day. A couple of years later my mother got interested in poodles as well and we got our first miniature poodle CH. Fame.


Stepping into the hairdressing salon, I was greeted with a shy smile from a young girl sitting behind a shiny red desk.
After guiding me into my seat, she swiveled the chair around. Facing the mirror, the reflection of the salon was like the front cover of a Vogue magazine—classy and cutting-edge.
As we discussed what hair style I would prefer, another girl emerged, brush in hand, wearing a pink tutu and matching 70s-style platform shoes. She circled around the red, black, and white retro furniture that complemented the black-and-white glossy floor. Reaching her hairdressing trolley, lined up in the corner with the others, she considered its contents as if studying for an exam. Completing the checklist, she added a curling iron, a hair serum, and a pretty clip.
Looking in the spotless mirror, I was captivated by the long white shelves boasting photos of previous celebrated salon graduates, all wearing the same shade of red lipstick. A purpose-built hairdressing salon in a high school. Simply stunning.
And I was about to reap the benefits. The invitation to spend some time with Mandy Jolley at her SHINE in-school program started with a divine pampering session. Afterwards, Mandy and I grabbed a cappuccino from the salon coffee machine and found a quiet spot to talk about her life-changing program.
Early pessimists warned Mandy: never work with "at-risk kids." It'll be a mess. Everything you've worked so hard to make nice and professional will be destroyed. These girls won't appreciate what you're doing for them.
Seven years in, through Mandy's leadership, more than 260 female students have completed SHINE's multi-award-winning program. Each year, students apply for the program, and if chosen, work in the hairdressing salon one day a week. SHINE teaches students how to work with hair, skin, nails, and makeup. They also gain vocational and life skills to make better informed decisions about their wellbeing.
