Upcoming DWI Checkpoint in Dover
Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Chief of Detectives Christoph Kimker, and Dover Police Chief Jonathan Delaney announce the implementation of a joint Driving While Intoxicated checkpoint in Dover, New Jersey for the beginning of December 2022. Law enforcement personnel from the Morris County Prosecutor's Office and Dover Police Department will be conducting the checkpoint.
DWI checkpoints are funded by grants received by the Prosecutor's Office from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety to conduct checkpoints in conjunction with municipal police departments throughout Morris County. The grant is in effect until the end of September 2023.
The Morris County Prosecutor's Office has coordinated sobriety checks in the past throughout various municipalities in Morris County, and will continue to do so in the future with advance public notice. Regrettably, impaired, and drunk driving continues to pose a serious threat and harm to our citizens and now, co-joined with all too many cases of distracted driving because of cell phones, these types of operations to deter such behavior remain useful and necessary to protect the public.

Kelsie Rochelle Koepke, aka "Momma K", was fired from Paetow High School after she was accused of sending sexually explicit videos and photos of herself to a student
A teacher in Texas allegedly sent a video of herself masturbating to a 15-year-old student on Snapchat from her "Momma K" username, according to court documents.
Kelsie Rochelle Koepke, 25, of Katy, Texas was fired from Paetow High School after she was accused of sending sexually explicit videos and photos of herself last May after connecting with the teen on the social media platform in October 2017 during the weeks before homecoming, KTRK reports.
The conversations between the teen and Koepke, whose online usernames included "kelsie_koepke" and "Momma K", soon took a sexual turn and she instructed the student "not to save any of their chats".
"Then, on the actual night of the homecoming event, she sent him the first set of nude photos and videos of herself," documents state.
Koepke then allegedly sent a video of herself masturbating to the teen in on May 1, 2018,
According to court documents, Koepke approached the student at school the following day, said, "I can't believe I did that" and apologized for her actions.
However, a few days after apologizing, Koepke sent more nude pictures and videos of herself, authorities said.
On Feb. 28, the student who was receiving the videos and images reported what happened to school officials.
At least one of the videos she shared with the student clearly showed her face, according to a Katy Independent School District police officer who saw the explicit footage.
When questioned by investigators, Koepke said she had mistaken the teen for someone else she previously met on a dating website. She then continued to send the teen additional images in an attempt to "keep the peace," court documents indicate.
Koepke acknowledged that she knew the student from school, where she oversaw his lunch period. She also told investigators that she sent the videos and photos in question to a few different people, KPRC reports.
At one point, Koepke approached the student at school and said she regretted her actions, saying, "I can't believe I did that," according to court documents. But she continued to send more nude photos and videos of herself, authorities allege.
School officials learned of the alleged relationship from another student who "noticed a conversation on social media regarding inappropriate content" being shared between Koepke and a student, according to a letter sent home to parents by the school's principal.
"The district took immediate action and removed the paraprofessional from the classroom and later that day the employee was terminated from Katy ISD," principal Mindy Dickerson wrote. "Because the investigation is still ongoing, we are unable to provide additional information at this time, but please be assured that the district takes this allegation very seriously and is fully cooperating with law enforcement."
Koepke is expected back in court to face charges of improper relationship with a student and solicitation of a minor on May 7, according to KTRK.
Bond was set for $30,000.

Monday's blaze gutted the 28-story building, leaving 70 injured and dozens unaccounted for, and prompted a belated crackdown on illegal construction work and lax fire precautions. It also has raised alarm over widespread use of flammable insulation used to retrofit buildings to meet new energy standards.
The death toll has climbed each day as new victims are found in the charred rubble or those wounded die of their injuries, and as of Friday morning state media said it stood at 58, up from 53 the day before.
"The accident should not have happened and was completely avoidable," Luo Lin, head of the State Administration of Work Safety, said on his agency's website.
Luo listed a litany of problems with the government-sponsored energy-saving project: illegal use of unlicensed subcontractors, poor construction site management, lax local safety supervision and use of highly flammable nylon netting, insulation and other materials that caused the fire to spread out of control throughout almost the entire building.
Anguished family members and others angry over the government's handling of the disaster are demanding answers.
"The government owes us a reasonable explanation and serious investigation. They have already lost the chance to apologize to those who were killed," said Wang Lianguo, a neighbor who said he spotted the fire while doing laundry.
Authorities say they have identified 26 of the 58 bodies taken from the building. More than 30 people reportedly remain missing from the blaze. Most of the dead perished in their homes, suffocated by toxic smoke, as firefighters struggled to break through metal security doors.
Officials have not said how many they believe are unaccounted for, although Shanghai's fire chief said the building was thoroughly searched after the fire was extinguished.
The inferno was set off by sparks from welding intended to affix insulating materials to the outer walls of the building that hit the nylon netting hung as a safety precaution from bamboo scaffolding, Luo said. Police have detained eight suspects, including four they said were welders working without proper qualifications.
The disaster was a blow to Shanghai, China's business capital and one of the country's most modern, well-run cities, coming less than month after it claimed success in hosting a World Expo that drew a record 72 million visitors.
China has been tightening its energy standards, partly to meet its pledges on climate change and also to reduce waste and curb soaring consumption of costly and scarce energy resources.
Safety and other environmental issues apparently are being overlooked as local officials and businesses rush to jump on the energy-saving bandwagon with retrofitting projects that, inevitably, are fresh opportunities for the corruption and corner cutting endemic to construction work in this building-crazed country.
While the nylon netting -- illegal but widely used on construction projects -- appeared to be the main vehicle for the fire's spread, the polyurethane foam insulation being layered on the apartment building's outer walls was also highly flammable.
Monday's fire, and a similar one triggered by fireworks that destroyed a luxury hotel at the Beijing headquarters for CCTV, China's main television network, show the need for tighter controls on use of new energy efficient materials, said Li Hua, an engineer and researcher with the China Academy of Building Research.
"Building insulation materials are relatively new in China, but widely used. The government should supervise the quality of these materials, ensuring they pass fire prevention standards," he said.
Use of polyurethane foam and other insulating materials is closely regulated in other countries to minimize well-known fire risks with flame retardants and fire barriers. Such materials are not allowed in skyscrapers.
"Buildings are vulnerable to fire during installation of these insulation materials. It's safer when another layer of coating is added to prevent fire," Li said.
The main government-owned companies assigned to retrofit the Shanghai apartment building farmed the work out to other, smaller contractors who employed nonprofessional laborers, further complicating matters. Local reports cite residents complaining the workers smoked on the job, adding to the fire hazards.
According to notices posted on the website of the local government-owned company in charge of the project, the Jingan Construction Technology Supervision Co., the effort had already been cited for safety violations. Another notice said safety inspections would be carried out weekly to "guarantee work safety."
Shoddy or unsafe construction is a common problem in China, even in major cities like Shanghai. Last year, a nearly finished 13-story apartment building in the city's suburbs collapsed, killing one worker. Officials blamed excavated dirt piled next to the building for the collapse.
The apartment building that burned Monday was part of a compound built to help provide teachers and retired teachers with housing.
Now many have nowhere to go.
"Luckily I wasn't at home that day, so I survived, but my home was burned out," said an older lady whose apartment was on the 19th floor of the destroyed building. She would only give her surname, Zhao, fearing trouble with authorities.
"Where am I supposed to live? What will I have for the rest of my life? I don't think anyone has any answers," she said.

BANKING REFORM
AT the end of last year the world's banking system was brought to the edge of a disastrous collapse. It was only just averted. In Britain the government asked Sir David Walker, a former banker with experience of the private and public sectors, to review what had happened and to propose changes which would prevent a repetition. His 170 page report, delivered this week, makes 39 recommendations which, he claims, would have stopped the Royal Bank of Scotland and HBOS from imploding. At first sight Sir David's analysis seems simplistic to a fault -- better chairmen, better non-executive directors, better risk control, more active shareholders. There is little new in such recommendations but at the heart of this report is the belief that a strong chairman and well-qualified directors are the only guarantee against headstrong and possibly misguided CEOs and other senior managers. To this end the report recommends that chairmen should be elected annually and spend at least two-thirds of their time on that job. Non-executive directors should be more independent minded and encouraged to challenge bank policy. Sir David Walker's 39 recommendations are not individually original but taken together they could make a big difference. The problem is where the more committed, brighter, sharper, stronger people are going to come from to become the chairman and directors of the future. Banking has been too cosy in the past but giving it new cutting edge will not be easy.


You probably learned ages ago, and now it's time to teach your child to do it as well. However, most parents usually dread it out of fear of their child possibly getting hurt when they're trying to learn.
Luckily, there are a few methods you can use to teach your kid to ride a bike. Some need time, while others are effective in a single afternoon. Still, all kids are different, so how they progress will depend on the individual child.
When Should You Start Teaching Your Child To Ride a Bike?
Most people agree that you should start only when your child shows an interest in riding a bike. There are many small bikes, tricycles, and bikes with training wheels so you can introduce this to your kid as early as at the age of three.
However, studies showed that there's a higher risk of getting hurt and possible injuires when kids start this young versus those who first started at the age of 6 or 7.
At the age of 6 years old, your child already has a good sense of balance and space around him/her. For this reason, you most probably won't have to use training wheels or spend a lot of time focusing on practicing balance.
You should still use your best judgment and, if the child is very young, simply be more careful as you practice together.
Does Your Child Actually Want to Learn to Ride a Bike?
Parents often force their children into riding a bike because it's something they think kids should know. However, if the child is clearly scared to do it or simply doesn't want to, it's best you leave it for later.
It's essential that your little one cares about this more than you. Pushing this onto your kid can have negative effects, and he/she might grow to hate cycling.
This should be a fun activity above all, so it's best to give up on it if your little one doesn't see it as such. Kids tend to be scared at a very young age, so even if they show no interest in getting on a bike now, it doesn't mean they won't want to do it later.
If you notice the child lacks the confidence or simply needs more help with balance, you should consider training wheels. Many people try to avoid these for fear that their kid might be teased, but in reality, there's no shame here.
These are helpful and will help your kid get used to the feeling a lot quicker. Sometimes, kids are just too scared to relax, and because of that, they struggle to learn how to ride. Training wheels can be the helping hand that allows your child to relax and enjoy the process.
In most cases, kids need only a few hours to adapt riding without them once you take them off.
The most important thing is that you pick the right size. Don't buy a bigger one thinking your kid will grow into it because you'll only make matters worse. A big bicycle will be too hard for your child to control.
Measure the height of your little one to make sure you get the best bike size. A 12" wheel works great for kids that are 28" to 38" tall. For kids that are 38" to 48", the best is a bike with 16" wheels.
Taller kids that are 42" to 52" can ride 18" wheels, while those that range from 48" to 60" will do well with a 20" wheel diameter.
In those first days of learning how to ride, you want to make sure your child is as safe as possible. Protecting the head, elbows, and knees is crucial.
Get a helmet that sits level across the middle of the forehead. If it sits high or moves around, you have to adjust it. Make sure it's the right size because a tight helmet is quite uncomfortable while a big one has no point at all.
Before you teach them anything, you first have to teach your children how to stop the bike. Show them the brakes and how they work. It's essential that kids understand this before they start riding, so they don't have second thoughts about what to do in a critical situation.
Explain what the brakes are and when they should use them. Knowing when and how to stop the bike increases confidence and minimizes chances of accidents.
You may have heard of balance bikes. Those are good, but there's a way to do without them especially since they can be a bit pricey.
You can simply take the pedals off the bike and lower the seat so his/her feet can touch the ground. Let your kids glide around the yard or driveway. If they lose balance, they'll have their feet to rely on. It's a simple method, and it saves you money on that balance bike.
Plus, kids learn how to ride in a short time after you put the pedals back on.
In the beginning, you should practice alone and away from any distractions. You want the kid to be comfortable and in no way embarrassed. For this reason, it's best to avoid the park or school where you could run into some of his/her friends.
This could be a distraction while the child is still not skilled enough. As he/she progresses, you can move from your yard and to the street.
While it might seem fun to have the kid learn along with other children in the street, it's not such a great idea. As we said, all of the friends could actually be a terrible distraction.
It might be easier for your little one to learn by watching you do it. Get on your bike and show how it's done. Make sure you're also wearing your safety equipment even if you might not actually wear it on a regular basis.
Take it slow and make big turns. Set a route and make sure your kid is following along. It's a good idea to have a slowness race as a balance practice. Compete to see who can be the last to put their feet on the ground.
It's essential you don't focus on any mistakes but reinforce success. Also, teach the child when it might be time to take a little rest.
Again, make sure to give the child some space and stay awbikeay from the crowd. While it might seem like a good idea to do this as a family, you don't want to distract him/her with many people.
Only once you notice their skills have advanced, you can start riding as a family around the neighborhood.
What if My Child is Still Scared?
Even if kids show interest in riding a bike, they can often feel quite scared throughout the learning process. This is where you want to step up your game and do as much as you can to make the little one comfortable and confident.
Make sure you've explained how brakes work and what they're for. Explain what they provide and how you can rely on them. Another thing that can help is to explain all the safety equipment. Tell your child about the helmet and how it helps with security.
It's also crucial to explain all the basic traffic rules since some extra knowledge can provide quite a lot of confidence. Also, give it some time as all children are different and some may require more time or less time then others to learn this skill.

We aren't using Dads laptop for my blog but that's ok because Mom bought a keyboard for her tablet and now its better than Dads laptop so that's good.
Know what I'm going to be doing this weekend?
TAYTO CHIP TESTING!!! Im so excited, I have all kinds of chips left to try and guess what . . . I can use my blog to help me get a beaver Scout badge! Learning all about different countries potato chips means I can get a cooking badge.
Im so stoked!! Do you know how awesome that is?
I wanted to let you guys know i'll be back and testing more chips. Mom said she really likes helping me with my blog and missed doing it too.
Still no laptop . . . . and now no Teeth!
Posted on December 27, 2016 December 27, 2016 by E. M.
We still have no computer at home, Mom thinks its funny because my Dad is an IT guy (I call him Dad now and it makes me really happy) I don't get why mom thinks that's so funny though.
Anyway . . . . We've had to figure out how to get things to work on moms tablet but now that we have Bluetooth keyboard its a lot easier to type for Mom and I'm even learning how, its not so hard.
the big news is I had dental surgery. I had a third set of teeth, so the Dentist had to take some out and now I have no teeth in the front. 6 teeth came out. It makes it hard to try chips but I've had a bag since they came out. Just one for now, Mom said in the new year we are going to get back to blogging and I'll be able to try the rest of my stuff.
These ones came from Japan too . . . They had a chicken wing on the front so I thought they would be spicy because that's what kind Mom always has. But they weren't spicy at all, they tasted king of like BBQ sauce but little sweeter than what we have on meat. I liked them, they weren't my most favorite but I'd have them again.
Today we tried the Guiness Rich Beef Chili chips. I didn't think they were as tasty as the chili cheese fires but i liked something about them. They tasted different in a good way, I can't figure out what they tasted like, but they tasted like something I've had before. Mom thinks it's her Guinny stew . . . I don't think shes right.
I tried the Haggis chips before . . . I liked these ones, Mom said a lot of people at her work tried them and thought they'd be bad but were surprised. I dont think they are bad at all. They taste kind of like pepper but not really spicy pepper like when Jason puts too much of it in soup . . . something not so hot. I would have them again, but not all the time. I might try real Haggis if it tastes like this, Mom says it's not so bad, we will just add some extra pepper.


PARIS, France (Dec. 8, 2018) – The U.S. Women's National Team will face Thailand, Chile and Sweden in Group F at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, taking place from June 7-July 7 at nine venues in France. The Final Draw took place today at the Le Seine Musicale, a music and performance arts center in the suburbs of Paris.
As the top-ranked team in the world, the USA was among the six seeded teams in the tournament and prior to the Final Draw was placed in Pot 1 with the five other seeds. After France was placed in Group A as host, the USA was the sixth team to be drawn and was placed in Group F.
Prior to the Final Draw, the remaining 16 teams were placed into their pots in descending order according to their FIFA rankings. The USA then drew Sweden from Pot 2, Thailand from Pot 3 and Chile from Pot 4.
The U.S. will open Group F play against Thailand on June 11 at Auguste Delaune Stadium in Remis. The USA then faces Chile on June 16 in at Parc des Princes in Paris, followed by Sweden on June 20 at Stade Océane in Le Harve.
All three cities the U.S. will play in are located across the north of France with Remis located a 90-minute drive north east of Paris and Le Harve a little more than a two-hour drive north west of the French capital. Coincidently, the U.S. will kick off its Countdown to the Cup in Le Harve on Jan. 19 when the team faces World Cup host France to kick of its 2019 schedule.
The USA and Sweden are two of only seven countries to have competed in every edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup. Thailand will feature at a second consecutive tournament after making its Women's World Cup debut in 2015, while Chile will make its Women's World Cup debut this summer in France.
Sweden, a U.S. opponent in the past four FIFA Women's World Cup Group Stages, was also the USA's first ever Women's World Cup opponent when FIFA's premier women's competition began with the 1991 event in China. While the teams have never met in a Knockout Round match, USA holds a 3-1-1 record vs. Sweden in the teams' five previous World Cup games. The U.S. has never faced Thailand or Chile in World Cup play.
Under FIFA's standard rule, no group could include more than one team from the same qualifying zone except Europe, which will have nine teams in France. Each group therefore had to have at least one European team but no more than two. As a result, three of the six groups have two European teams.

"On the stump, Frasier sounds more Republican than Democrat"
Frasier is against labor rights.
At the Gallivant's Ferry event in May 2010, Frasier told the hundreds in attendance "I don't want to be bogged down by unions."
At an Horry County party event in October 2010, Frasier told Democrats that labor unions and their members should not have the right of collective bargaining, even though that's the primary function of labor unions.
At a North Myrtle Beach forum in October 2010, Frasier told the public to vote for an amendment that would make it more difficult to create a labor union.
Frasier is against programs that benefit low income families.
In 1994 advertisements, Frasier said welfare should be replaced with "workfare."
In a 2010 ad, he listed "creating alternatives to welfare" as a platform in his campaign.
Frasier is against health care.
In an interview with the Post & Courier in October 2010, Frasier said he was uncommitted to the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"). He also said he didn't know much about Obamacare at that time, even though it had been passed by Congress earlier that year.
Frasier told "Campaign for Liberty" in 2010 that he would oppose any national health care system, including a public option for insurance.
At a Myrtle Beach event in October 2010, Frasier said he didn't support the Affordable Care Act.
Frasier favors tax benefits for the rich over helping citizens in need.
At a Georgetown event in September 2010, Frasier said "we have to stop taxing the rich," even though the United States has the lowest taxes on upper income of all developed nations.
In October 2010, Frasier told the Post & Courier that he favors the "Fair Tax" program, a national sales tax to replace income tax which would only benefit the wealthy, and which would increase total taxes on middle class - even poverty - by as much as 30 percent.
At a Mt. Pleasant candidate forum in October 2010, Frasier said "we cannot tear down the rich to help the poor."
Frasier is against safe gun ownership.
At Gallivant's Ferry in May 2010, Frasier told the audience "it's great to be armed." He then sarcastically opened his jacket and slowly turned around, saying "don't worry - I'm not carrying anything."
In campaign advertisements throughout his candidate history, Frasier listed opposition to any type of gun control in his platform.
In a 2010 candidate survey, Frasier said he would vote against any legislation that would allow the federal government to restrict the sale or use of weapons.
Frasier is against public education.
At Gallivant's Ferry in May 2010, Frasier said we should give public school funds to private schools.
In many of his campaigns, Frasier promoted "tuition vouchers" - tax breaks and even state public school funds to pay for tuition at private schools.
Frasier doesn't care about our coastline.
In 2008, Frasier told The Myrtle Beach Sun that he supported offshore drilling off the coast of our South Carolina.
Frasier lists a segregationist to be his inspiration.
In 2006 the Post & Courier reported that Frasier said he "repeatedly runs for office to honor former South Carolina Congressman L. Mendel Rivers(.)" That former congressman was known to strongly favor segregation in public schools, however, and was also opposed to the Civil Rights Act. Rivers also tried to impeach a Charleston judge who ruled that blacks should be able to vote in the Democratic primary elections.
Frasier is against a woman's right to choose.
In a campaign advertisement, Frasier specified that he is against abortion.
Frasier supports the "Big Brother" style of government invasion of privacy that was in the Patriot Act.
A 2006 article on him by the Horry Independent says "Frasier has no problem with the NSA collecting telephone records(.)"
Frasier is supported by non-Democratic organizations.
In 2010, Frasier was given a grade of "A" from the National Rifle Association's Political Victory Fund.
Local Republican media agree that Frasier could just be a Republican plant.
"Why would Republicans 'plant' Frasier in the Democratic primary? Easy: He's black, and if he's able to siphon enough of the black vote it could force Democratic frontrunner Elizabeth Colbert-Busch to waste time and money competing in a runoff election."
Frasier has been supported by local Republican media.
"Coupled with his anti-interventionism and border enforcement positions, Frasier the Democrat, is well to the Right of Republican Presidential nominee John McCain and his little buddy Lindsey Graham."
In his column, Hunter appears to encourage Republicans to participate in that year's Democratic primary.
"What sort of fool would urge conservatives they 'gotta vote Republican' to keep 'damn Democrats' like Frasier out of office? I would vote for a Democrat like Frasier 10 times before I pulled the lever for Republicans like Bush, McCain or Graham once. Not because I'm a liberal – but PRECISELY because I'm a conservative."
And Frasier himself has publicly stated that he's no true Democrat.
One of Frasier's campaign ads from 1994.

Even though fair skin is not a standard measure for beauty, there are numerous people who strive really hard to get fair skin. This group of people doesn't only include women, but men as well. It may come as a shock to find out many men dream of having fair and flawless complexion. The complexion of the skin depends upon the amount of melanin naturally produced by the body. The amount of melanin cannot be altered. However, you can get fairer skin by treating pigmentation and sun tan.
The developments in science and dermatology have provided numerous cosmetics to get fair skin. These cosmetics include sunscreen, tinted lotions and BB creams. Unfortunately, these creams and lotions provide only temporary results.
Making the skin fair, healthy, and glowing requires a lot of hard work as well as patience to wait for desired results. The most important factor is to have an efficient skin care regimen to enjoy fair and glowing skin. Here are some tips for men who aspire to have fair skin.
Whatever you eat is reflected on your skin. Skin impurities might result from unhealthy eating habits and digestive problems. For clear skin, it is very important to include sufficient vitamins and micro-nutrients in your diet. Include protein-rich foods in your diet for a healthy and glowing skin. Also, try to avoid man-made and processed foods. Increase your intake of fruits and veggies, as they contain skin-friendly nutrients.
Water has numerous health benefits attached to it, with glowing and fair skin being one of them. Drinking ample water helps in natural cleansing your skin from within. It helps to flush out waste and toxins. Furthermore, water also removes excessive dirt and oil from skin. Make it a habit to consume a minimum of 2-3 litres of water everyday to get healthy, glowing, fair skin.
Regular cleansing with an effective cleanser helps tremendously. Follow the cleansing process at least twice a day for effective results. It is worth mentioning that aloe vera should be an essential ingredient of the cleanser. It will soothe the skin and get rid of bacterial infections.
Protection of skin from loss of natural oils is an essential part of effective skin care for fair complexion. Men's skin is exposed more to sun, dirt and pollution. This affects their skin by making it dull and darker. You can use an effective moisturizer or a fairness cream to keep the skin hydrated, thus glowing. Make sure the moisturizer contains SPF as an essential ingredient. Apply the sunscreen before you venture outdoors. In addition, you can wear sunglasses, long-sleeve shirt and cap to protect your skin even further.
Make it a rule to shave at night so prevent loss of fluids from the face. Moreover, shaving at night helps in avoiding the resultant puffiness from showing on your face. This would provide a fresh and healthy appearance in the morning.
Exfoliation helps in removing dead skin cells, thereby allowing the new and soft skin to come to the forefront. This, in turn, makes your skin appear softer and younger. You can opt from a wide range of facial scrubs to suit your skin type. Before scrubbing, steam the face for a few minutes to extract the oil and dirt from the pores of your skin.
It is a misconception that physical activity is important for weight reduction only. In the busy and hectic daily routine of present-day life, physical activity has become a necessity. It might not be possible for you to walk around while at work. And, you might want to rest when you get home. For fair and glowing skin, develop a healthy exercise regimen, either 30 minutes at the gym or a short walk are sufficient not only for the body but also for your skin.
Every skin type is different with individual problems. Having a proper skin care regimen can surely provide a better complexion and skin health. Additionally, keeping it safe from harmful sun rays and dirt and pollution can decrease the release of melanin by the skin thus providing a better and fairer complexion.

Félix Maurice Antony Troncet (23 May 1879, Buzançais - 26 March 1939, Paris) was a French watercolorist, pastelist, engraver and illustrator. He is best remembered for portraits, nudes and genre scenes.

Biography
He studied in Paris at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts and at the Académie Julian, with Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens

On several occasions he competed, unsuccessfully, for the Prix de Rome, but received honorable mentions. In 1914, his portrait of Marie Bonaparte was given critical praise at the Salon. During World War I, he was assigned to the Camouflage Service, together with many prominent artists.

After 1921, he became a regular contributor to the Salon; mostly with genre pieces, featuring young ladies, as well as a portrait of his mother (1926). His nude "On the Lake Shore", also attracted some attention, followed by a series of pastel nudes in the 1930s. On a more serious note, he received critical praise for his portrait of Marshall Louis Franchet d'Espèrey in 1932

He also wrote some poetry. Although most of it has been given attention, he was awarded the Prix Lefèvre-Deumier in 1934 for Ut pictura poesis, a series of poems about "forgotten" artists.

His works may be seen at the , as well as in the United States at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to learn about us and our families. We know this is not an easy decision, and we want you to know we believe you are incredibly brave. We are truly humbled and grateful you would even consider us in this process. While we know this is a difficult decision, we want you to know that we can provide all the love, commitment, and support to take this journey together.
Should you choose us as parents, your child will enter a loving home, full of laughter, high expectations, and family. As educators, we are committed to ensuring your child is always provided for, has every opportunity to flourish in their own passions, and most importantly, is bombarded with non-stop love and care. We really hope you consider us as we plan to take this journey together.
We met and fell in love doing what we love most: ensuring all kids in this country have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. Mark was an elementary teacher and Ryan was a high school science teacher. United by our passion for equal education, our strikingly similar tight-knit families, and our love of laughter, we fell in love. In July of 2011, we were married in D.C. with 100 of our closest family and friends. In our professional lives, we're leaders in the education system, with both of us currently leading non-profit organizations that work to ensure all children have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. In our personal lives, we find every opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family, including serving as proud uncles to seven nieces and nephews. Some of our favorite things to do together include sightseeing, exercising, cooking, attending shows, and anything that involves being outdoors.
We live in a warm and spacious three-bedroom home with plenty of outdoor space for playing and creating memories. Our home is located in a beautiful and culturally robust neighborhood, filled with many neighboring families, children, schools, and places to explore. In fact, we live just minutes away from quite a few parks parks, museums, restaurants, and the neighborhood schools. We are proud to live an area that can provide access to many diverse people, experiences, cultures, and food. Our home is a perfect location for a family who wants to live in a city, keep the spirit of a true family-friendly neighborhood, and still have access to high-quality child care and schools.
Family is incredibly important to us. We both come from very loving and supportive homes, and we truly believe that family comes first and find every opportunity to spend time with ours. While culturally different, our families share many of the same values that are important to us when raising a child, such as communication, empathy, perseverance, love, and equality.
Mark comes from a large Puerto Rican family, and a rich is deeply ingrained in their traditions. Therefore, we spend a lot of time together for holidays, birthdays, as well as any and all life events. His loving family is made up of five siblings, two nephews, and many extended uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Shockingly similar, Ryan also comes from a large and compassionate family. He has five siblings as well as five nieces and nephews. Much like Mark's family, Ryan's family is also made up of many close aunts, uncles, and cousins who spend major holidays and life events together. In both of our families, aunts, uncles, and cousins are just as close as parents and siblings.
We're both part of large, loving families and always dreamed of starting a family of our own. We were those kids who spent every moment possible creating memories with our siblings and cousins, who are still our best friends to this day. As for adoption, both of us have several family members who have successfully adopted children, including siblings and cousins. Given how important family is to us and how influential adoption has been in the lives of our families, we always dreamed of adopting children, and with our amazing network of loving friends and family, we know we can create a great home and life for our children.

Why would a department store close its online store while building a new one?
And, having done that, what should the company do to make sure the relaunch maximises the opportunity?
Here are 10 suggestions for one particular retailer doing exactly that.
How many web users are unaware of Google's PPC ads?
Did Google make £3.768bn from users who had no idea they were being advertised to?
Here's a study of 2,000 people where we try to find the answer to that question & more.
You may remember two studies which found that 40% of people did not understand that Google ads were ads in 2013, and that 36% still don't understand this in 2014.
These were researcher-led user tests, of around 100 people each, led by Bunnyfoot.
During the tests, at the end of a scenario based around a Google search, users were asked the question "Recall any ads?".
The Guardian, traditionally seen as a 'UK news' organisation, has controlled the US news agenda over the last week with a story about an NSA leak.
This post looks at some of the Content Strategy decisions behind this success.
Jaeger has relaunched its ecommerce site for the second time in 12 months.
It's slightly unusual for a brand to do that: relaunching is a big, complicated, risky, time-consuming task, so most retailers tend only to relaunch every few years (often less, sometimes never).

"The promo strip" is not new, but has slowly caught on to the point it's almost standard for high street retailers, yet still fairly rare on smaller sites.
It's a very useful addition from both the customer perspective (quickly informative without being overbearing) and from the brand perspective (conversion orientated without being overbearing!).
There are 12 examples below, including variations on the central idea.

Austria's postwar history is characterized by its self-perception as the first victim of the National Socialists. The fact that the majority of Austrian society had supported the Nazis or at least obeyed the Nazi regime was assiduously ignored. This self-perception lasted until the late 1980s, when it was critically reviewed and altered under the impact of the Waldheim affair (discussed below). The latter, however, showed that not only the Social Democrats (SPÖ) but also the Conservatives (ÖVP) had a problematic relationship with the past.
The narrative of Austria as victim influenced many areas of Austrian politics. One result was that the rehabilitation of former Nazis started very soon after the end of the war.
Already in 1947, the Austrian government under its Conservative chancellor Leopold Figl established a law distinguishing between a higher or lower extent of collaboration with the Nazis. In 1948, less implicated ex-Nazis were rehabilitated and recovered their full rights as citizens. Already for the 1949 elections, both parties, the Social Democrats and the Conservatives, courted the votes of ex-Nazis.
The political scientist and expert on anti-Semitism, Anton Pelinka, pointed out, "For the National Socialists, Kreisky was a Jew. To save his life he had to go into Swedish exile. Vis-à-vis his environment, Kreisky had accepted his Jewish identity-but not in the sense of drawing religious or political implications. Kreisky was a Jew because others saw him as a Jew."5 He was committed to his Social Democratic ideas rather than to his Jewish identity.
As president of the Austrian Social Democratic Party since 1967, Kreisky had major influence in the Socialist International. When Willy Brandt was elected president of the Socialist International in 1976, Kreisky became one of its vice-presidents.
After World War II, the Socialist International took a pro-Israeli stance. It admired Israeli socialism with its kibbutzim and moshavim, viewing this as the only path to a prosperous Jewish homeland.7 After the 1973 Yom Kippur War, however, these perceptions changed.
In a Jerusalem Post interview in 1978, Kreisky called Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin a "political grocer," a "Polish lawyer from Warsaw," and also sharply attacked Israel as being culpable for the Middle East conflict.9 In 1979, Kreisky and Brandt invited Arafat to Vienna, and the latter became the first European capital to receive him as a future prime minister.
Kreisky continued his involvement with Middle Eastern politics after he left the government in 1983.
In 1986 Kurt Waldheim, having previously been secretary-general of the United Nations, was the Conservative candidate for the Austrian presidency. During the period of his candidacy it became known that he had kept silent about serving as an officer of the German army in the Balkans during the war.
Franz Vranitzky was Austrian chancellor from 1986 to 1997. He stated officially that Austria's self-perception as Nazi Germany's initial victim was mistaken.
In 1993, Vranitzky received an honorary doctorate from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in recognition of his efforts to improve Austrian-Israeli relations and his forthright statements on Austria's role during the Nazi period. Speaking to the Knesset, he referred to Austria's "collective responsibility" rather than "collective guilt"; the former entailed a possibility of critically examining Austria's past.
In its 2002-2003 report on Austria,16 Tel Aviv University's Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Anti-Semitism and Racism mentions an open letter by Bunzl in response to an analysis of the extreme left-Wing Anti-Imperialist Camp (Antiimperialistische Koordination-AIK) issued by the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance (DOEW).17 This letter was posted on the AIK's website.18 In it Bunzl accuses the DOEW of superficial analysis and unjustified accusation of leftist organizations as being anti-Semitic.
Bunzl asserts in the letter that the DOEW defines the "resistance of Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, and leftists as being an extension of the German anti-Semitism that led to the annihilation of the Jews, implying that Israel's violence against the Palestinians has to be defined as a continuation of the antifascist Resistance." According to Bunzl, the DOEW thereby joins leftists who enjoy the psychological effect of making charges of anti-Semitism against other leftists who criticize Israel. Bunzl also accuses the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the IKG (Israelitische Kultusgemeinde, the umbrella body of the Austrian Jewish community) of making dubious analyses of statements by those critical of Israel.
In March 2002, several Austrian professors supported with their signatures a Congress against War and Embargo in Iraq that was to be held on 28-29 March 2003 at the Technical University in Vienna. The conference was organized by a group called Students and Faculty against the War and was announced on the AIK's website,21 which also posted the supporters' signatures.22 When contacted individually, it turned out that several of the professors who signed had not been informed of the AIK's backing of the conference. However, others clearly did know.
This discussion was originally scheduled for November 2005. However, massive protests by the public, faculty, and a local organization called MayDay Graz, consisting mainly of students and young intellectuals, led the rector of the university to withdraw his authorization to hold this event at Karl Franzens University. The protests were directed mainly at Edlinger's participation, and were also backed by the historian Prof. Dr. Helmut Konrad, former rector of the university and specialist in contemporary history.
Eventually, though, the event was rescheduled and, thanks to Schmidt's involvement in organizing it, was held on 16 December 2005 at the Institute for International Law and International Relations, which coorganized it. Watzal did not take part for health reasons, and Schmidt was the main speaker. According to Edlinger's report,25 she dealt with aspects of Israel's "politics of occupation." Most likely as a result of the protests, the organizers also invited Konrad to give a statement at the opening of the event.
● The AIK's attempts to gain influence in Austrian universities. On 1 January 2006, in the aftermath of the event in Graz, the AIK posted on its website an open letter of protest addressed to Prof. Konrad from a local pro-Palestinian organization (Verein Palästina-Steiermark). The letter accuses Konrad of insufficiently favoring pro-Palestinian events at the university. It states: "We are missing the presence of Arab history and especially Palestinian history at the Institute for Contemporary History in Graz."33 The implication is that these subjects are intentionally excluded.
In this interview, Edlinger consistently downplays Shamir's attacks on Zionism, Israel, and the Jews. He calls the criticism of the book a "hysterical campaign" by Zionist writers. He is probably referring to the Austrian journalist Karl Pfeifer, winner of the Samuel Bloch Award for his struggle against anti-Semitism in 2003. Edlinger also mentions the Austrian online review Die Juedische (http://www.juedische.at/), disrespectfully calling it "Zionistische Internetpostille" ("the Zionist internet-leaflet").
● Andrea Komlosy. Professor of history at the University of Vienna, Komlosy is a former Maoist40 and also supported with her signature the 2003 Congress against War and Embargo in Iraq.
According to Komlosy in this article, the recognition of Israel entailed transferring responsibility for the Holocaust to a part of the world that played no role in it. She also criticizes Israel for being based on the Jewish religion. Komlosy states that the fact that every Jew in the world is a potential citizen of Israel causes structural problems of space. These lead to Israeli expansion and create conflicts with the Arabs who live in territories that Israel claims.
At present, leftist anti-Semitism is manifest in the anti-imperialist and antiglobalization movement. However, traditional anti-Semitism that usually is associated with right-wing groups and neo-Nazis remains an active force. As demonstrated by the case of Köchler, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the extreme Right and Left. There are interconnections, and the boundaries are often blurred.
The same report mentions several right-wing organizations of students and intellectuals.
The right-wing website Wiener Nachrichten Online, which is affiliated with the Freedom Party, published an interview with Noam Chomsky64 and a review of the German translation of his book No Chance for Peace,65 which is full of anti-Israeli and anti-American demagoguery. This is another example of the convergence of right- and left-wing anti-Israelism.
There is an active group of students, the Council of Political Science Students at the University of Vienna, that works against anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli bias. Together with the Café Critique, a Vienna-based group of political scientists that advocates for Israel among other endeavors, they organize events on the Middle East with speakers such as Matthias Küntzel, a German political scientist; Thomas von der Osten-Sacken, a German human rights activist focusing on the situation in Iraq; and Ulrich Sahm, a German journalist covering the Middle East. MayDay Graz has been mentioned previously.
In conclusion: Although anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism are not mainstream at Austrian universities, it is necessary to remain alert.
