Q: React Fullcalendar eventDidMount -> Replacing React-rendered children with a new root component (I'm sorry for my bad english :/)
Here I'm trying to render an input in a fullcalendar event on my React application (fullcalendar v5), but i try with a simple div for tests. So I use eventDidMount with a function that renders with ReactDOM.render.
Only, I have a problem, every time I render, I get this error on the console :
Replacing React-rendered children with a new root component. If you intended to update the children of this node, you should instead have the existing children update their state and render the new components instead of calling ReactDOM.render.

And I don't understand it very well...
Here is the component in question, the function that should render the input in question is EventDetails. I create the event after the user has validated a form (in the onSubmit)  :
type Props = {
    actualResource: string
}

const ResourcesCalendar = (props: Props) => {

    const calendarRef = useRef(null)

    const [selectedRange, setSelectedRange] = useState<{start: Moment, end: Moment}>()
    const [Modal, open, close, isOpen] = useModal('root');

    const { register, handleSubmit, control, errors, setValue } = useForm(); // initialize the hook

    useEffect(() => {
      console.log(props.actualResource);
    }, [props.actualResource])

    const handleDateClick = (selectInfo) => {
        let calendarApi = selectInfo.view.calendar
        setSelectedRange({
            start: moment(selectInfo.start),
            end: moment(selectInfo.end)
        })
        open()
        calendarApi.unselect()
    }

    const handleEventClick = (e) => {
        // open()
        // setValue("maxResources", 2)
    }

    const EventDetail = ({ event, el }) => {
        const content =
ok
;
        ReactDOM.render(content, el)
        return el;
      };

    const onSubmit = (data: {maxResources: number}) => {
        close()
        calendarRef.current.getApi().addEvent({
            start: selectedRange.start.toISOString(),
            end: selectedRange.end.toISOString(),
            color: "#ff9f43",
            title:data.maxResources
        })
    }

If you are one of the many individuals out there who love playing physical and mental adventure game, then escape room is the best game for you. Many people love escape rooms because it helps them become smarter in solving different kinds of puzzles. What makes escape room more fun is there is a time limit set and so you need to make sure that you get to solve the puzzles within the time limit. You can choose different locations or concepts when playing escape rooms. You can choose playing in dungeons, space stations, zombie streets, or even in pyramids.
Be sure that you visit many escape room websites and check whether you like their setup or settings -check this website. Be sure that you also compare different escape rooms and don't just focus on one option. Try to read the description of the escape room before choosing it.
It is recommended that you play an escape room that has medium difficulty, especially if this is your first time playing the game. You are also encouraged to choose those non-linear escape room games. This means that the game has many puzzles and can be worked on simultaneously. Also, you need to make sure that you gather more information about the concept or the theme of the escape room.
Remember that escape room is more fun if all of you participates. Solving the puzzle should be a lot easier if you and your friends or families know how to do teamwork. Make sure that you pay attention to limits on group size when searching for escape rooms. Again, make sure that you have the same goal and that you let your friends or families cooperate.

In cultivation the Escobaria sneedii v. leei will form
beautiful mounds with hundreds of small heads.
Left:10 a.m. the flowers are going to open...
Right: Noon the flowers are completely open.
Flowers outdoors in the rock garden! Winter temps down to -25° C, wet and snow are not a problem.
E. sneedii var. leei SB397 Eddy Co, NM, USA
A plant in the green house
Cultivation: It comes from an area of summer rainfall; keep drier in winter (but for outdoors cultivation it is very resistant to wet conditions, too). Very cold resistant, Itcan easily be grown outdoors in areas with minimum winter temperatures of - 25°. Needs full sun to light shade.
Propagation: Seeds (no dormancy requirement, they germinate best at 25°C) or usually by offsets (readily available), or occasionally grafted.
Family: Cactaceae (Cactus Family)
Scientific Name: Escobaria sneedii ssp. leei (Rose ex Bödecker) D.R.Hunt 1997
Published in: Cactaceae Consensus Initiatives, 4 : 5, 1997
Common name (s): Lee's pincushion cactus
Type: The type specimen is at the U.S. National Herbarium (U.S. # 72134). The type locality "Rattlesnake Canyon 30 miles southwest of Carlsbad at an elevation of 5500 ft W.T. Lee, 1927"
Basionym: Mammillaria leei
Distribution: USA (New Mexico, Eddy County, Guadalupe Mountains)
Conservation status: Listed in CITES appendix I.
Threatened This species is quite frequent in its very small area of distribution. It is popular with collectors and has been subject to commercial collecting in the past, but is now propagated commercially on a large scale and is readily available and very common.
Habitat: Primarily it occurs on the tops of limestone ridges in areas of broken terrain, terraces, rim rock or in poorly developed limestone soil, the majority of the plants grow in cracks in the rocks on north-facing slopes between 1,400-1,800 m in elevation, rarely under cover, usually sparsely distributed among the shrubby vegetation of the high Chihuahuan desert (Shrub and interior Chaparral ), a plant community dominated by large almost arborescent shrubs such as Dasylirion wheelerii and Yucca torreyi in association with Muhlenbergia, Agave lechuguilla, Opuntia phaeacantha, Dalea sp. and Berberis trifoliolata.
Etymology: The genus name "Escobaria" recalls the two Mexican naturalists and brothers, Romulo and Numa Pompilio Escobar, of Mexico City (late 1800s to mid 1900s)
The specific epithets "sneedii" has been named in honour of "J.R. Sneed" who first collected this plant in 1921 in the Franklin Mountains of El Paso County, Texas
The subspecies "leei" Has been named after "Willis T. Lee" (a famous geologist sent on the National Geographic expeditions in the 1920s to assess Carlsbad Cavern for national park status) who first collected this plant in 1925.

Description: Grows in dense clusters with as many as 100 or more stems in a clump.
Stem: Each individual stem is 1.5-6(8)cm tall and 1-2,5 cm in diameter.
Tubercles: Cylindrical 5 mm long; On mature stems with upper surface grooved.
Spines: 30 to 90 very small radials, typically white often brown at tip, fading to grey, slender and bristle-like, mostly about 1-2.5 mm long, radiating from areole and appressed against plant, sometimes with one to few short porrect centrals.
Roots: Fibrous.
Flower: Brownish-pink in early April-May. Showy smaller, usually not opening widely, 1.2 cm long up to 1.5 cm wide; tepals brownish-pink (rarely pale yellowish, or whitish) in colour, usually with midstrip darker; stigmas white to pink;
Fruit: Small elongate, 1-1.5 cm long, green to somewhat reddish;
Seeds: About 0.8-1mm long and 1.5 mm broad, kidney-shaped, pitted, dark brown, with hilum lateral.
Notes: The subspecies leei differs from other Escobaria in densely its clumping habit, small stem size, and tightly, almost pectinate, spination. The wild population intergrades with other forms of E. sneedii in the Guadalupe Mountains. This is apparently a neotenic variety of the species in which juvenile spination is retained throughout the life of the plant. This species is closely related to E. sneedii var. sneedii from which it differs by having deflexed spines, rather than spreading ones, brownish - pink flowers as opposed to rose-magenta ones, and seeds 1 mm long as opposed to 0.75 mm in length (01,02,05).
In cultivation the Escobaria sneedii v. leei will form beautiful large mounds with hundreds of small heads.

In June 2000, a group of top government scientists and health officials gathered for a meeting at the isolated Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia.
Convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the meeting was held at this Methodist retreat center, nestled in wooded farmland next to the Chattahoochee River, to ensure complete secrecy. The agency had issued no public announcement of the session — only private invitations to fifty-two attendees. There were high-level officials from the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, the top vaccine specialist from the World Health Organization in Geneva and representatives of every major vaccine manufacturer, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the scientific data under discussion, CDC officials repeatedly reminded the participants, was strictly "embargoed." There would be no making photocopies of documents, no taking papers with them when they left.
In 1967, a study in Applied Microbiology found that thimerosal killed mice when added to injected vaccines. Four years later, Lilly's own studies discerned that thimerosal was "toxic to tissue cells" in concentrations as low as one part per million — 100 times weaker than the concentration in a typical vaccine. Even so, the company continued to promote thimerosal as "nontoxic" and also incorporated it into topical disinfectants. In 1977, ten babies at a Toronto hospital died when an antiseptic preserved with thimerosal was dabbed onto their umbilical cords.
Internal documents reveal that Eli Lilly, which first developed thimerosal, knew from the start that its product could cause damage — and even death — in both animals and humans.
In May of last year (2004), the Institute of Medicine issued its final report. Its conclusion: There is no proven link between autism and thimerosal in vaccines. Rather than reviewing the large body of literature describing the toxicity of thimerosal, the report relied on four disastrously flawed epidemiological studies examining European countries, where children received much smaller doses of thimerosal than American kids. It also cited a new version of the Verstraeten study, published in the journal Pediatrics, that had been reworked to reduce the link between thimerosal and autism. The new study included children too young to have been diagnosed with autism and overlooked others who showed signs of the disease. The IOM declared the case closed and — in a startling position for a scientific body — recommended that no further research be conducted.
If, as the evidence suggests, our public-health authorities knowingly allowed the pharmaceutical industry to poison an entire generation of American children, their actions arguably constitute one of the biggest scandals in the annals of American medicine.
... and then our own caring guvmint refuses entry to ANYONE intending to speak publicly on vaccine dangers and FORCES children wishing to attend school to get vaccines.
Not to mention cutting parents off the dole if they don't.
Who in their right mind would still trust the government?
When I was a kid vaccination against diseases such as Polio, Tetanus, Diptheria, Whooping Cough and others was an absolute necessity. Today we have added inoculations such as Influenza, Meningococcus and the Human papillomavirus vaccines and how could a parent be advised not to proceed against these killers.
It is no secret that the New World Order government wants to decrease the world's population from 8 billion plus to a more controlled, environmentally friendly 3 and a half billion. How could this be achieved without making it bleeding obvious vaccination programs is certainly one way? Another, and this has been going on for years, is fluoride in the drinking water.
more likely to develop dental fluorosis, but may also have reduced IQ scores.
How does fluoride affect the human body?
These effects represent the crudest, most obvious harm caused by fluoride. ... Research already shows, in fact, that fluoride can cause arthritic symptoms and bone fracture well before the onset of crippling fluorosis, and can affect many other tissues besides bone and teeth, including the brain and thyroid gland.

It is way too easy to pass these conspiracies theories off as the imagination of some paranoid nutter but there is a general conscientious understanding of the general population that all is not what it seems and with great reason.
I'm not saying you're wrong, Wolf, but I worked in the disability field for fourteen years. I worked with children and adults who were on various points of the spectrum. I saw several examples of parents who - after having one child diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum - blamed vaccination and refused to have subsequent children vaccinated. They'd lost their faith in the medical profession, understandably. They were determined to try for another child and were 100% convinced that vaccination was the culprit.
I saw this happen three times with three completely different families. Not that three is enough to constitute a scientific sample, etc, I know.
In all three instances, subsequent children (who were not vaccinated) all turned out to be diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. It was heartbreaking to watch.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am wary about prophets of false hope who are willing to find external causes for things which come down to aspects of genetic inheritance and other factors we still don't really understand.
The desperation of these families was a hellish thing to witness, their disappointment when faced with the reality of the situation after discovering that vaccination (in their cases) had no bearing on their child's condition...I have no words.
I'm in agreement with you about the evils of huge corporations, and the overall corruption of the pharmaceutical industry in particular, but even if there's some causal link in some cases, I've seen people go to extreme lengths in terms of diet, avoidance of vaccination, and all manner of way-out forms of natural therapy, all to no avail. In their cases vaccination most definitely wasn't the cause, and nobody could really explain what was.
It is true that autism existed before vaccinations and there is definitely a genetic link.
It is the belief of many researchers that children predisposed genetically to the possibility of autism are at very high risk of developing this syndrome BECAUSE of vaccines.
The alleged benefit that Vaccination as a protocol even works does not fit the data when looked at objectively.
For example, Big Pharma claims the reduction of deaths from measles is due to the vaccination protocol when the graphs all show measles (and other childhood killers) was on the DECLINE, thanks to greatly improved health practices, well before the protocol was introduced into society.
In the 60's it was estimated that one individual in 2500 were autistic (0.04%).
2005, in Australia it was 1 in every 160 (0.62%).
A recent South Korean study demonstrated 1 in every 38 (2.6%)!!! The Sth Koreans are the biggest vaccinators in history... co-incidence?
Many doctors and researchers have come forward claiming that the carriers used in vaccines damages the young, developing brain. Interestingly, more than a few have met with 'accidents' and been found floating in rivers, etc.
1, Vaccinated people are the most immunocompromised. Every time there is an 'outbreak' of measles or something else, the media always conveniently fails to mention that it is IMMUNISED children getting sick. If they were vaccinated, why are they getting sick?
Dr. Obukhanych was a proponent of vaccines until she began looking deeper into the issue.
2, Vaccines have never been proven safe or effective. Every single study used as "evidence" that vaccines are safe erroneously compares side effects from one vaccine to side effects from another vaccine, effectively cancelling them out. None of them compare the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals, which would be the true test of vaccine safety.
"True, scientific, double-blind placebo studies have never been conducted on vaccines to determine their safety," explains VacTruth.com.
4, Vaccines are highly profitable for drug companies, which aren't held liable for damages. Thanks to 'laws' passed by our friendly, caring guvmint Big Pharma is protected from lawsuits brought forward by parents of vaccine-damaged kids (gee, I wonder who wrote that law).
Vaccines are a major cash cow for the drug industry. Not only are vaccine companies completely shielded from liability when their vaccines injure or kill children, but they are typically "sponsored" by government agencies that push them on families and children using outrageous and unfounded scare tactics.
If vaccines really are as safe as the jab-pushers constantly claim they are, then why was the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (US) passed in 1986, exempting vaccine and drug companies, as well as health practitioners, from liability in the event of injury or death?
5, All vaccines contain deadly chemical additives. The average paediatrician would be hard-pressed to provide package inserts outlining vaccine ingredients to their clients prior to pushing vaccines. But parents need to know that all vaccines contain deadly, neuro-damaging chemicals like aluminium, mercury and formaldehyde. Many vaccines are also loaded with monosodium glutamate (MSG), antibiotics and even genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
6, Unvaccinated children are generally healthier. International studies looking at the health outcomes of unvaccinated children compared to their vaccinated peers have repeatedly shown that the unjabbed are generally less afflicted with allergies, autism, behavioral disorders, autoimmune dysfunction and respiratory ailments.
My wife was talking to an old lady in the library last week. She was complaining about how sick she was... "I don't understand it, I make sure I get all my flu shots every year, but I still get sick?" My wife replied how she practically never gets the flu and has NEVER had a flu shot.
The Impact of Science on Society, Simon and Schuster, New York, 1953.
.... I would even go as far to say there is plenty of evidence that Big Pharma/Big Brother goes so far as to include 'terminator viruses' in the vast majority of vaccinations (it is known the elite get 'different' vaccines, if at all).
Those that rule expressed concern countless times in the past about the rising population of the "useless eaters"... especially with the advancing medical technologies allowing people to live longer and longer than ever before. The answer? A 'virus' that becomes active at around the age of 65 when the telemeres in our DNA/cell structure drastically begin to shorten. Every one of us has been 'given' this wonderful heightened opportunity to contract 'cancer', conveniently after we have stopped working and paying our taxes and want to sit back and enjoy the remaining years of our lives.
Think about it, why would TPTB NOT do such a thing? For well over a century papers have been written about the population explosion and how to manage it. Personally, I agree with them, there are far too many humans on this planet. But the way to control the pop levels is by raising the standard of living EVERYWHERE, not war, vaccinations, disease, etc.
The countries with the highest populations are third world countries. Western countries have a negative growth rate. If the third world had been allowed to develop naturally, without the interference of greed and resources control from the elite, they too would have gone into reverse as their standard of living rose.
Years back I was told that the Royal family do NOT drink pasteurised milk because it damages our cell structure. Then a few years later I was watching a doco about Diana. In it one of her 'hand-maidens' was talking to the camera. She proudly showed off a bottle of milk Diana had given her from the royal dairy. Imagine my surprise when I saw the label... there underneath the royal dairy logo was clearly printed 'UNpasteurised milk'.
All valuable data, and I think you could well be right. The other thing, though, is that there once existed diagnoses other than autism; people were dubbed 'cretins', 'morons', 'idiots' etc and these were once actual medical terms.
When I worked with older people who had disabilities, their archived medical files made for educational - and horrifying - reading. As a house supervisor, I had to know each person's medical history, so I'd often go right back to people's childhoods to find out what their situation was. Often they and no family, and could not explain for themselves so a bit of detective work was required. Doctors would once cheerfully describe people as an "agreeable young cretin" or a "friendly little idiot", etc. These were, astonishingly, medical terms that doctors working in the 40's up until the 70's employed without a second thought.
What I'm saying is that, although it may seem that there are more cases of autism, it may also be the case that there has been a widening of the definition of autism in the last twenty five or thirty years, to the exclusion of terms like the ones I mentioned above. That could have some bearing on the increased number of people defined as being on the spectrum.
Yes, I agree that what we today call 'autism' may have once been labelled as something else.
But that would not explain the severe increase that correlates with the sharp increase of vaccinations.
The 'bottom-line' truth is vaccines require certain metals to act as carriers... there can be no doubt these carriers affect the growing, forming young brain. There have been many whistleblower scientists that have come forward over the years, including some from the CDC itself. All have faced ridicule from the bought and paid for mainstream media, often costing them far more than their careers.
If vaccines were safe, why the various bills protecting the manufacturers from lawsuits?
With literally everything I always ask que bono?
It seems most today don't know how to ask this simple question anymore.
(See Bertrand Russell quote above).
It's true that corporations are always protected (see the current attempts by the Federal government to protect Adani's mining interests using taxpayer's money) and individuals are not. The law is biased towards those with financial clout. Look at how empowered Andrew Forrest feels; he can suggest cashless welfare, and any number of other 'policies' which he isn't qualified to even comment on, simply because he has loads of money. His opinion matters. Ours do not.
I don't know. I had every vaccination that was going as a youngster, and none of my health issues trace back to it. I do know the medium they use - the liquid the active ingredient(s) is suspended in - can cause allergic reactions in some people, so it's clearly harmful to some. The extent to which it is harmful, I couldn't say. I don't have the scientific acumen to make a decision.
I know I am predisposed to doubt anything that any large corporation tells me I should think.
Vaccine manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur announced Wednesday that a dengue vaccine already distributed to hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren could instead cause more severe cases of the disease in people who were not already infected.
The vaccine giant's announcement is a major shock as the company's Dengvaxia shot has been approved for release in 11 countries, including the Philippines where roughly 700,000 children have already received the vaccine as part of a mass vaccination effort started in 2016.
"It means some of them will develop severe dengue; we don't know who. All of them will have to live with this possibility for the rest of their lives," former Philippine College of Physicians Foundation president Dr. Anthony Leachon said.
A bit off topic but still on vaccines.
I recall about a decade ago reading an article from a US military person who was reporting that the Swine Flu Vaccine contained a microchip used for tracking purposes. This injection was pretty widespread at the time. I just googled it and it looks like microchips in injections/vaccines is still occurring today. And we do not even know about it. I wonder if this is also occurring in Australia. I wonder if the doctors doing the injection are aware of microchips in vaccine.
I'm willing to believe that those in the medical profession are aware of many, many things which they don't discuss with their patients.

They Might Be Giants, Young Star


Mikael Pedersen became acquainted with the Danish author Gustav Wied. When Mikael Pedersen was in Denmark on his many visits, he stayed with his brother Hans at Stege-Landemark. In the musical circle around the editor of Møens Folkeblad (the local gazette), Jens Kristoffer Jensen, the author Gustav Wied was also to be found, and it was here they met each other for the first time. It was Mikael Pedersen's unostentatious manner and partly his appearance, that later inspired Gustav Wied to the figure of "Knagsted", the customs man, in his novels.
When Gustav Wied moved to Roskilde, they met each other again, and became good friends. They were both fond of parties and celebrations and there are tales of many lively evenings at Mikael Pedersen's house in Marbjerg, where Gustav Wied was often a guest. These parties were held in a large saloon (Salen) on the first floor. From the saloon, a door led out to a balcony which had never been completely finished. When the men had had plenty to drink and were ready to urinate they went out onto the balcony where there was no railing, Mikael and Gustav Wied found it of great amusement to push unwitting participants over the edge and down onto the flower bed below.
Mikael Pedersen gave instructions for the bicycle, which were given to Gustav Wied, it was to be buried in the garden of Gustav Wied, after Gustav Wied death. This story has neither been confirmed nor denied, but anyway the bicycle belonging to Gustav Wied, of which there are several pictures, has never been found after the death of Gustav Wied.
Some years ago Mads Rasmussens found this art on a garage door in Århus, Denmark. It's not difficult to see that the inspiration for this art came from a photo of Gustav Wied, author, and friend of Mikael Pedersen.


There are a variety of different ways in which two or more motor vehicles can collide with each other and cause injury, although, a head-on collision is typically the most dangerous kind of car accident. The Bucks County Head-On Collision lawyers at Kats, Jamison & Associates will help you with your potential case.
A head-on collision occurs when the front of one vehicle crashes into the front of another vehicle. These types of accidents are extremely dangerous due to the cumulative speed of both vehicles colliding from opposite directions. Head-on collisions are considered to be the most dangerous since they frequently occur when both vehicles are moving at high speeds and there is usually not much time for a driver react or slow down.
These collisions can be especially catastrophic if a large weight differences exists between the two vehicles. For example, if a tractor trailer crashes head-on with a small motor vehicle, the passengers of the smaller vehicle will likely suffer severe and or fatal injuries. No matter what the conditions are surrounding your car accident, a knowledgable and experienced Bucks County, head-on collision lawyer at Kats, Jamison & Associates can help you.
Even though some of these injuries could feel relatively minor, such as a concussion, others injuries may be devastating and could leave victims of head-on car accidents with permanent disabilities. Victims of head-on collisions typically require emergency trauma treatment and hospitalization following such a sever car accident. In some cases, emergency surgery is required which can then lead to visits to specialists, the need for medical equipment, and physically therapy in order to recover for the sustained injuries. This can even mean needed long-term home care if a victim of a head-on collision becomes disabled. Furthermore, injured victims of head-on accidents may lose wages by not be able to work for extended periods of time. Lost financial potential could mean that victims and their families experience unnecessary hardship.
As these examples illustrate, negligence can be not only in part of another driver, but it could in part of a local government, an automobile part manufacturer, and any other party who contributed to the cause of the accident. Typically, these car accidents need deep investigative resources in order to clearly identify negligence. This may include conducting witness interviews, reconstructing accidents, and the collection of forensic evidence. With over 30 years of experience, our Law Firm has access to many resources needed in order to prove that your head-on collision is the result of negligence of another party.
If you, anyone in your family, or a loved one has suffered injuries following a head-on car accident, your physical and emotional wellbeing should be your first priority. Victims of car accidents should always consult with an experienced Bucks County, car accident lawyer as soon as possible, in order to discuss how file a personal injury claim. Even if you physically recovered, you will likely need some type of long-term care and will potentially face significant bills for your medical treatment, along with any lost wages you incur.
Please be advised regarding the statue of limitations in Pennsylvania. Victims of personal injury accidents only have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury claim. After two years has expired, your case will likely be dismissed and you will not be able to recover the damages you incurred. It often takes a significant amount of time to properly prepare for filing a personal injury lawsuit. For this reason, it is important to never wait to speak with an attorney regarding your car accident. Please do not delay in calling 215-396-9001 to discuss your case with Kats, Jamison & Associates.

Monroe B. Scharff
Exeter - Monroe Bernard Scharff peacefully sailed from this earth on November 20, 2019. "Monty" was born on September 8, 1923, in Boston, MA, the son of Bernard Wertheimer Scharff and Minette Switzer Scharff. Monty was a proud veteran of the greatest generation and served in the 8th Army-Air Force in World War II and in the Korean War, earning the rank of 1st lieutenant. As a graduate of Bard College/Columbia University, Monty pioneered the field of financial public and investor relations with the establishment of Monroe B. Scharff & Co. in 1958. He went on to a distinguished career of over 40 years serving institutional clients throughout the country from offices on 49th Street in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and ultimately from his beloved home in Kennebunkport, Maine. The State of Maine held a special place in Monty's heart where summered with his father and mother in Bridgton in the 1930s and ultimately lived full time in Kennebunkport with his beloved wife. Monty was married to Edwina K. Scharff for over 70 years, and always referred to her as "Blue Eyes." Monty was a well-known member of the Kennebunkport community, where he could almost always be seen sailing his Cape Dory sloop "Windlass" in and out of the Kennebunk River, and holding court on all matters from the driver's seat of his fire engine red Mazda Miata or the front steps of the post office. Monty loved sailing, skiing (his favorite ski areas being Shawnee Peak and Sunday River in Maine), cars, and most of all, people. He built his business and his personal life on integrity, a caring and generous attitude towards others, and an uncanny ability to relate with and ultimately charm those around him. Anyone who knew Monty would appreciate the phrase, "Let me tell you a quick story," which would often be the start of a wonderful tale, transforming an ordinary event into a warm, hilarious adventure. Monty was a voracious reader, never seen without a book under his arm and always generous in offering his latest read to others. Most of all, Monty adored his wife Edwina, who survives him. He was a devoted and loving father to his two children, Peter B. Scharff and Stuart M. Scharff, who also survive him along with Peter's wife Janet R. Scharff, Stuart's wife Jodi B. Scharff, four grandchildren, Rachel, Christopher, Emily, and Jennifer, and two great grandchildren, Annabel and Caleb. Monty was generous with his time and expertise, formerly serving as a director-at-large of the National Investor Relations Institute (Boston Chapter), board member of Maine Capital Corporation, the Foundation for Blood Research, Portland Museum of Art, YMCA of Greater New York, and trustee of the Forman School in Litchfield, CT. The last months of Monty's life were challenging for him and for those who loved and cared for him. The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation and thanks for the compassionate care, thoughtfulness, and loving attention Monty and the family received from all the wonderful staff at Riverwoods in Exeter, NH and the caregivers from Extended Family in Portsmouth. Please join us in celebration of Monty's life on Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 11:30 a.m. at Riverwoods at Exeter, 5 Timber Lane, Exeter, NH. Monty's family will share some brief reflections followed by light refreshments. One of the institutions closest to Monty's heart was the Forman School in Litchfield, CT, where he attended as a young man after the death of his father when he was 16 years old. Monty credits the school and it's then headmaster, John Forman, for so much of his instruction in "life." In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations to the Forman School be made in Monty's honor. Fair winds and following seas Monty! The Forman School 12 Norfolk Rd.

As promised in the first post, here is the guide which will teach you to rank any keyword in any niche, Even if you are trying to rank something in a very competitive niche.Of course, the cost will be higher to get those top positions but again the returns would be higher too.If you are just starting out then, don't go for big terms for which big authority websites are ranking in top 10 instead start with low competition terms.
We know that there are many things comes into play by when search engine algorithm decides the rankings, but it all come down to two things content+ backlinks.This is as simple as that.You want the top spot then provide better value from your website to the users and acquire as many niche relevant links or steal them from your competitors.
How to know the onsite secrets of your competitors.
How to unearth the backlinks your competitors is using to dominate the search results.
How to finally able to dominate your niche for the KWs you want.
Research:– The better you are in researching your niche, the better chance you have to rank your KWs.
Analyze and Implement:- Analyze the data and Implement the research findings on your project.
Test and Optimize:- Test your strategy on users and optimize to provide better value to the users and keep repeating this process.
Let's explore these stages in depth now.At this point, I am assuming you have a KW for which you want to dominate the search results.
So what we are going to do is reverse-engineer our competitors' content and backlink strategy and replicate it, then optimize it to get the rankings we want.
Firstly make an excel or google sheet to manage all the data you are going to discover.
Now put your Keyword in google and get the first ten results.Put them down in the excel sheet.
Install SEOQUAKE toolbar into your browser if you already don't have it.
Note down the Titles and Meta descriptions of the page.
Now go to density tab and note down information like the density of your KW,Keyword Appearance in title,H tags,Content length,LSI keywords of your KW.
Repeat the steps for all the URLs and grab all the information you can and fill your excel sheet.
Also, make a column where you can write the information about the multimedia content and rich snippet content of these URLs.
Now go to your favourite backlink explorer, I prefer to use 3 explorers Ahrefs, Majestic and Opensitexplorer.But if you are on a limited budget then you should use Ahrefs only or get a Fiverr gig to let someone do it for you.
Put your competitors' URL one -by-one and fetch their backlink profile from Ahrefs and export all the backlinks.
You now have 10 CSVs which you will sort in next step.
Then look at their anchor cloud and note down the KW anchor percentage and LSI KWs anchor percentage.Which you will use while making the backlinks.
Repeat the same process with Majestic, OSE or any other backlink checker you want to use.
Now you have all the data you need so next step would be to analyze this data and use it on your own website.You need to know that some of the competitors may be using PBNs which links you are not going to get from these link explorers.
First, analyze the onsite data and start noting down things which you find in that sheet.You will find tons of information which will help you make your page optimized for search engines as well as the users.Look for common patterns like how much content these websites are using?, how many images or multimedia items they are using?, How are they using the LSI terms?,their titles,Meta descriptions etc.
Now if you already have a website then implement these changes on the website and if you don't have a website then keep in mind these things while writing content and structuring the website.
When done with onsite put the backlinks data in one sheet and start sorting those backlinks by firstly removing low-quality links.After removing the low-quality links you will be left with a good link list which will help you get the top rankings.
Start going through links and look for links which you can acquire easily.I use a 1-5 rating where 1 rating links can be easily replicated like a blog comment link or a niche directory link while 5 being the difficult ones like a link from big news website or partnership links.
Start replicating the backlinks now. In First phase go for the 1-3 rating ones, if you are not able to get a link easy then move to next one as we are replicating 10 competitors' links and there are enough opportunities.Make sure you are drip feeding the links so that it looks natural in eyes of the search engine.
Slowly move to higher rating links, If a guest post is there then try that website's contact page or email to pitch your guest post. if the contact info is not available, then get their email from whois and try to reach them.Again if it too tough, then move on to next target and come back later to acquire that backlink.
After doing the onsite and carrying out first phase of link building you will start seeing results in 40-60 days.But don't stop your campaign, keep drip-feeding links and optimizing the website to make it perfect for your users. Track your users' behavior and you will get the data you need to make the user- experience perfect for your visitors.
Now If done correctly, you will be in top 20 for your required Keyword.So push for 4-5 rating links now.These links will be powerful enough to get you in top 10 results and by providing better user experience, you will be sitting on the top of your competitors in no time.
After getting that number 1 ranking keep optimizing your website and keep doing link analysis of your competitors' once in a while so that you can dominate that search term.
So you learned how to get the top rank for your desired keyword.It is easy and it always works except few cases like when you are trying to outrank an old and big authority websites like Wikipedia,huffpo or your competitors are using PBNs and hiding it from the link explorers' crawlers.But again there is always some exceptions.

OlliOlli: Epic Combo Edition Skates Its Way To Store Shelves Later This Year
By Tyler Treese @TylerTreese 4 years ago
Publisher Badland Games has teamed up with Roll7 to bring their hit skateboarding series to retail. Available this Summer, OlliOlli: Epic Combo Edition will include both games in the series, 2014's OlliOlli and last year's OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood, on one disc. The compilation is currently set only to release on PlayStation 4, and no pricing details have been announced yet.
While there won't be any exclusive in-game content in OlliOlli: Epic Combo Edition, Badland Games is making a pretty compelling case for existing fans to double dip. The physical release will include a CD containing OlliOlli2's well received soundtrack, a booklet that talks about the game's creation, and three separate documentaries focusing on the series. That's a significant amount of extras, and since they don't affect the game itself it shouldn't rub those that already own OlliOlli digitally the wrong way.
This is exciting news for skateboarding fans since there hasn't been a well critically praised skateboarding game on retail shelves since 2010's Skate 3. What differentiates OlliOlli from other recent skateboarding titles is that it takes place from a 2D perspective, and has the player trying to make it through a stage without crashing.
As to be expected, Roll7 is excited that their breakout skateboarding game is getting a retail release and that more players can experience OlliOlli.
"We wanted to work with a partner that shared our vision for a quality product, but that also understood the limitations of a tiny team," said Roll7's director Simon Bennett. "Badlands have been super flexible with their approach – we can't wait to see this in the hands of gamers worldwide."
OlliOlli: Epic Combo Edition will release exclusively on PlayStation 4 in Summer 2016.

This overnight egg casserole recipe uses crispy bacon, fresh spinach, feta cheese and frozen french fries for a delightful breakfast your family will love.
Looking for a unique and special make-ahead breakfast idea to make for your next brunch? Today, we're sharing an amazing recipe for Bacon, Spinach and Feta Breakfast Casserole.
I love breakfast, but I hate fussing in the morning when I'm groggy with sleep and haven't found a cup of coffee yet. I naturally gravitate to any egg casserole recipe or breakfast idea that you can make the day before and store in the refrigerator overnight. Heck, I even have a recipe for breakfast enchiladas that I've made weeks in advance and put in the freezer.
When the weather is nice, we spend a lot of time up north at our cottage which is right next door to my parents. My dad and I have gotten in the habit of taking my dog, Scruffy, for long three mile walks on Saturday mornings. When I get up to the cottage on Friday nights, I quick whip up an egg casserole recipe of some kind and put it in my parents' refrigerator.
In the morning on Saturday, my dad throws the casserole in the oven before we hit the road for our walk. By the time we get back everyone else has woken up for the day and the egg casserole is cooked and ready to eat. It's been working out perfectly.
We've been in the habit of doing this for long enough now that I've started to get a reputation in my family as the queen of breakfast casseroles. The egg casserole recipes I make are hardly ever the same from week to week. Some times I use cubed or shredded hashbrown potatoes, some times I use ham or sausage, some times I make a pizza breakfast casserole or a french toast casserole. You just never know what I'll throw together!
I like to get creative with the ingredients I use in an egg casserole recipe so it doesn't get boring or start to feel like you're eating the same thing all the time. There are really only so many ways you can use ham and cheddar cheese for breakfast, right? I got inspired to make an egg casserole recipe with bacon, spinach and feta cheese since I love how those flavors blend together and rarely think about using spinach or feta in my egg casseroles.
While looking at hashbrown potatoes in the freezer section at my grocery store, my eyes wandered over to the frozen french fries. Hmm… I've made egg casserole recipes with tatertots or small crispy rounds before, but never french fries. I couldn't imagine why they wouldn't work just as well in a breakfast casserole as the tatertots or hashbrowns do and decided to give it a try.
It's pretty simple to make this egg casserole recipe. You'll find the full recipe below, but basically you start with a layer of frozen french fries, then half of the diced onion, crispy bacon, crumbled feta and fresh spinach. Then spread a second layer of french fries and sprinkle with the remaining onion, bacon, spinach and feta.
Beat together some eggs, milk and a few spices to pour over the Bacon, Spinach and Feta Breakfast Casserole. When you're done, put it in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, throw the Bacon, Spinach and Feta Breakfast Casserole in the oven then go for your walk, have your morning cup of coffee, watch the news or whatever you want to do. Once the egg casserole is fully cooked you can serve and enjoy!
Lightly grease an 8 x 8 pan or 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread half of the steak fries in the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer half of the feta, bacon, spinach and onion.
Top with the remaining steak fries.
Sprinkle with the rest of the onion and spinach.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pepper, salt and garlic powder. Pour over the breakfast casserole.
Top with feta and bacon, then refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until eggs are cooked. Enjoy!
Instead of frozen french fries, you can use cubed or shredded frozen hashbrown potatoes. You could also use tatertots or crispy rounds. There's just something about tatertots that my whole family raves about when I use those in a breakfast casserole.
The egg casserole recipe is pretty dense with the french fries. If you like your breakfast casseroles to be eggier, you could cut the amount of french fries in half.
Replace the bacon with diced fresh tomatoes if you prefer more of a vegetarian egg casserole.
Top your egg casserole with store bought salsa or homemade pico de gallo for some added flavor.
What are your favorite ingredients for an egg casserole? Please comment below and share. We're always looking for new breakfast ideas!
When I saw the picture I thought – wow that looks so good – and then I read the post and thought – wow that looks so easy!! – I mean just wow! Thanks for sharing on the What's for Dinner Link up!
Awww, thanks Helen! Glad you enjoyed the recipe — it is incredibly easy to make. You'll love it.
I'm a huge fan of breakfast casseroles! Sharing and saving this one to try.
Me too, Shelley! Hope you love this one.

#ICantBreathe, #CrimingWhileWhite trend on Twitter after Eric Garner decision
A look at the reaction on Twitter following the grand jury decision not to indict police officer Daniel Pantaleo who was involved in the choking death of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man.
#ICantBreathe, #CrimingWhileWhite, #BlackLivesMatter and #EricGarner are the main hashtags being used on Twitter following a grand jury decision not to indict New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo for the death of an unarmed black man, Eric Garner, earlier this year. The decision on Wednesday means that the white police officer will not be indicted over the "chokehold death" and will face any criminal chargess in connection with the incident.
On July 17, 43-year-old Garner was placed in a chokehold by Pantaleo on Staten Island, as police officers tried to arrest him on suspicion of illegally selling untaxed cigarettes. The attempted arrest was captured on video and went viral over the Internet, fueling debate about US police mentality and alleged racism.
In the video footage of the moments leading up to the chokehold, Garner is heard saying, "Every time you see me, you wanna harass me, you wanna stop me… I'm minding my business, officer."
#ICantBreathe was tweeted more than 170,000 times in the last 24 hours, according to social media analytics site Topsy. Twitterers have been showing their support for Eric Garner and his family by using the words he repeatedly said before dying: "I can't breathe."
Meanwhile, #CrimingWhileWhite has been trending on Twitter. Most of the white Twitterers have been using it to tweet about the crimes that they have gotten away with, allegedly because of their race. The hashtag has been used more than 185,000 times in the past 24 hours.
This is the second grand jury decision in a little over a week not to prosecute a white policeman involved in the death of an unarmed black man. The decision by grand jurors not to proceed with criminal charges against officer Darren Wilson over the death of teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked a wave of unrest across the United States.

Historians have been collecting information on the history of the world, people and society for centuries, cataloguing, researching and documenting the past so people can learn how humanity lived in the past. History is most often split in to two areas, history and prehistory. History covers human history dating back as far as written records go, pre-history is the time before this, when information is found entirely through Archeology.
The knowledge of human history is hugely important to the development of the human race, it shows the importance of peace and shows the horrors of war, it tells us how people used to live and how cleanliness and medicines have helped improve our lifestyle, as well as increase our lifespan.
History covers from the Homo Sapiens to modern day man, this information has shown us the process of evolution and how human beings arose from the animal kingdom, how we went from nomadic tribes to cities and how we passed from using flint tools to complex machinery! People who love archaeology have discovered amazing proofs in the past that made us understand better the development of the human race. This is how we found out that the Romans had a very evolved irrigation systems and drainage, for example. History can be fascinating if you like to study it, but on the other hand it can sometimes turn out to be really hard to remember all the years and precise data.
Nowadays, pupils are being taught history in school. Kings, kingdoms, wars and information about the greatest conquerers in history are the things that the children are the most interested in. Although history mainly consists in the life and actions of our predecessors, this term also reffers to the study of antiquity that is made by historians.
All in all, web directories can represent a great source of information for those people who love studying history and knowing more about the ones that lived before us. In the "History" subcategory on Jasminedirectory.com you can find some of the most important websites that offer useful and accurate information about kings, pyramids or great leaders.
History has shown us an unbelievable past, we can learn about human atrocities such as the concentration camps in World War Two, or the beauty of the Sistine Chapel. Sometimes History shows us where both combine, like the Egyptian pyramids where thousands died to create stunning monuments to the dead.
Either way the fascinating subject of History is one that can entertain and educate, its almost limitless depth gives near endless opportunities for discovery. With the depth of human depravity and ingenuity you can explore the human past to help improve the future of the human race. History is a subject that explores and investigates the past to improve the future for us all. There are thousands of online web directory sources for historical information!

This is the new Porsche 911 Cabriolet
The new Porsche 911 was made official at the LA Auto show in November and now the new Porsche 911 Cabriolet has been unveiled.
Porsche will offer their new 911 cabriolet in Carrera S and Carrera 4S versions and they are powered by a 3.0 litre twin turbo flat six engine that comes with 444 horsepower.
The Porsche 911 Cabriolet comes with a 0 to 62 miles per hour time of 3.8 seconds, or 3.6 seconds if you choose the optional Sport Chrono package.
The open-top 911 continues in a decades-long tradition, established when Porsche unveiled the prototype of the first 911 Cabriolet at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in September 1981. Customers and fans alike were instantly captivated. The first open-top 911 variant rolled off the production line in 1982, and it has been a constant feature in the model range ever since. The open-top version of the iconic sports car will be launched in 2019 to almost unprecedented fanfare. It includes all the innovative features of the Coupe, along with Cabriolet-specific advanced features such as new hydraulics which get the roof opened and closed more quickly than ever
You can find out more information about the new Porsche 911 Cabriolet over at Porsche at the link below.

Gabriel Jesus insists Manchester City have no reason to apologise after they crushed minnows Burton 9-0 in the League Cup semi-finals.
Jesus scored four times as City refused to take their foot off the gas in a ruthless demolition job at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola's side were four up by half-time but didn't spare third tier Burton's embarrassment after the interval as they piled on the goals. The clinical display effectively booked City's place in the League Cup final before they have even played the semi-final second leg at Burton later this month.
Some pundits suggested Guardiola should have shown mercy for tiny Burton, whose unheralded players were completely out-classed by the Premier League champions' star-studded line-up. But Brazil forward Jesus was adamant City were right to go for the kill. "Every time we respect the opponent. We know we have more quality than Burton but when you don't work hard, you don't play very well, and it is difficult to win the game," Jesus said. "That is what we did, played very well and worked hard. We go onto the pitch thinking, 'win the game' and we played very well to win."
Coming after a 7-0 hammering of Rotherham in the FA Cup on Sunday, City have strong momentum as they resume their pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool against Wolves next Monday. Jesus, now with 13 goals this season, is feeling confident after his spluttering start to the season.
"It is the first time I have scored four goals in the same game so it is very special to me," Jesus said. "I am so happy because last year I didn't score a lot and at the beginning of this season. That is difficult because I am a striker and need to score. I work very hard every day to play. When I have the chance to play for City, I help the team, I work hard and play well."

The Samsung S24A450bw is a great bargain, if you can do without a few features. Despite its moderate price of $300, it landed near the top of the heap in the screen-quality tests we conducted for our latest roundup of 23- and 24-inch monitors.
Our jury ranked this 24-inch monitor the second-best in the group overall, awarding it Very Good ratings across the board. Though the S24A450bw's viewing-angle and motion test results weren't quite as stellar as those of the HP ZR2440w, they were certainly more than acceptable.
The S24A450bw has a flexible design that allows you to raise, lower, tilt, swivel, and pivot the screen. It's also quite thin: With an external power supply and an LED backlight, the display measures only about three-quarters of an inch thick.
This monitor is missing some high-end features, however. Since it provides only DVI and VGA inputs (and comes with just the analog cable in the box), you're out of luck if you want to connect your monitor to a device that employs DisplayPort or HDMI. And whereas several other displays in our roundup include four-port USB hubs, this Samsung model doesn't.
Still, if you can make do with the fairly basic connections, and you don't need to attach a lot of devices to your monitor, the Samsung S24A450bw is an outstanding buy.
Though it has only basic connections, this 24-inch Samsung display is an appealing option that earned Very Good scores across the board.

A friend revealed that she had great difficulty in sorting out in her head the exact meaning of the old phrase 'only the good die young'. Did all the good die young? Was everyone who died young good?
This design is a little bit of fun but it also has serious purpose. It shows that the use of simple diagrams can help to clarify an idea that words have confused. They could be described as Venn diagrams except that they are so simple that they make no real use of the special qualities of John Venn's invention, which dates from the 1880s.
It also serves to illustrate the way the vital word 'if' is used in mathematical thinking. 'If is known as a connective – that is, it connects two ideas together and it is incredibly important in mathematics and in logical statements generally, not least because if means that you can often identify something quite complicated by a simply feature it displays. Take the statement 'if A then B', it doesn't much matter what A and B are, they might be objects, actions, a mixture of the two or any number of weird and wonderful things. All that matters for the statement to be true is if you find that A is true, then you will always find that B is true.
So, leaving aside unfortunate accidents of birth and traffic, we might say 'If an animal is a cat (A), then it has four legs (B).' To most people, that probably seems quite clear and understandable. The problem is that it can be said in a number of different ways that sometimes don't seem quite as clear. So, for instance, the statements 'All cats have four legs' or 'Only four-legged animals can be cats' or 'If it doesn't have four legs it's not a cat' have exactly the same meaning as our original 'If…' but somehow they don't feel the same and, indeed, can sometimes sound quite confusing.
And then there is the sometimes vexed question of that the statement doesn't mean. In this case, to say 'All cats have four legs' doesn't mean that all animals with four legs are cats. It also doesn't mean that 'Some cats have four legs', because that would mean that sometimes we have A (a cat) but not B (four legs).
So the rule about 'if' statements is that you can't turn them round (with an exception we'll look at in a moment). 'If A then B' doesn't mean 'If B then A'.
Using Venn diagrams allows us to short-circuit all the confusions introduced by language. If we represent all cats by a red circle and all four-legged creatures by a green one, then the following diagram says it all: Note that the sizes of the circles don't, in this case, mean anything (though we could use size to indicate the relative size of the two groups if we wanted to). All that matters here is that the entire circle representing cats is contained within the circle representing four-legged animals. From the diagram, it is clear to see that all cats have four legs and that there are other four-legged animals which aren't cats.
In the 'Only the good die young' print, this situation is represented by the first pair of circles, showing that what the phrase means is that the entire group of people who die young are contained within the group of the good, though the diagram suggests that there may be others in the good group who don't die young.
The fact that you can't turn an 'if' statement around is illustrated by the second pair of circles, top right. 'Only the good die young' expressed as 'if' statement is 'If someone dies young then they were good.' The reverse of that is 'If someone is good then they will die young' or 'All of the good die young', which is what the second pair of circles illustrates.
With those two under our belt we can turn to the special and very important case of 'If and only if' statements. These are the exception referred to above, where an 'if' statement can be turned around. 'If and only if' statements work equally in both directions. So 'If and only if A then B' means, at one and the same time both 'If A then B' and 'If B then A'.
'If someone dies young then they were good' and 'Only if someone dies young were they good'. Put another way it says that everyone who dies young was good and that everyone good will die young. The circles representing those who are good and those who die young are one and the same. And because the circles overlap exactly, we know that no-one who dies young was not good and that no-one good will escape dying young!
Fortunately for the few of us who are good, the statement is more interesting as a piece of logic than a description of reality.
The two diagrams at the bottom of the print represent the 'if' statements 'If someone is good they may die young', which is not really a formal 'if' statement in the sense described above because it describes a possible rather than inevitable link – and it can be reversed. The final statement illustrated is a proper 'if' statement of the form 'If A then not B' – proper because one thing inevitably leads to another and because it can't be reversed simply – the fact that good don't die young doesn't mean that if you don't die young you're good.

Distinguished Scholarships
In February, when Amelia Fitch was announced as a Gates Cambridge Scholarship recipient, there was a lot of excitement on campus. It was the first time a UO student had been selected for one of the coveted 35 spots to pursue the opportunity, fully-funded, for a Master's at the University of Cambridge.
What are distinguished scholarships?
Distinguished scholarships are competitive national and international grants for high-achieving students who show promise as future leaders in their fields. A variety of scholarships are available, including those for students who wish to pursue:
Graduate study in the UK or Ireland
Undergraduate study and research in the sciences
Graduate study in public service in the U.S. or abroad
Undergraduate science internships in Germany
Intensive immersion experiences in critical languages (graduate and undergraduate level)
Independent research or teaching assistantships worldwide (graduate and undergraduate level)
A new home for distinguished scholarships
Thanks especially to Dave Hubin in the offices of the Provost and President, and to Lexy Wellman in the Dean's Office in CAS, there has been for some years now an extraordinary effort to support students like Amelia in the pursuit of such opportunities. However, the UO has never provided a centralized place or centralized support for distinguished scholarship applicants on our campus. Until now. Led by Associate Vice Provost Josh Snodgrass, the new Office of Distinguished Scholarships (ODS) is housed in the Division of Undergraduate Studies and works in partnership with the Office of International Affairs (which oversees the DAAD-RISE, Boren, Gilman, and Fulbright Scholarships) and a group of faculty and staff scholarship specialists across campus. ODS mentors students in the pursuit of these honors and works with them through the application process.
A key priority for the office is to invite students early in their UO careers—as early as their freshmen year—to begin thinking about these opportunities, and positioning themselves for future success. Indeed, this point was central to Josh Snodgrass' presentations at IntroDUCKtion. He encourages students to get to know their faculty, seek research opportunities, dedicate themselves to causes that are meaningful to them—and visit the Office of Distinguished Scholarships to discuss their future goals and how a distinguished scholarship might help them realize these ambitions.
How can you help us in these efforts?
Plant the seed about Distinguished Scholarship opportunities in your students.
Refer your students to us.
Invite us to present to your staff and students.
Drop-in advising for Distinguished Scholarships and Undergraduate Research: Monday to Thursday, 4-6 p.m. in Global Scholars Hall room 104.

Rejoice? Bin Laden and the cycle of violence
By Simon Barrow
This morning I woke to an orgy of media-fed delight about a violent death. According to Irenaeus, the second century Bishop of Lugdunum, "the glory of God is a human being fully alive." According to at least one politician I listened to on the radio, what pleases God most is an enemy brutally murdered.
A Vatican spokesperson appropriately noted in response to the news of the killing of Osama bin Laden, that he was "a man who sowed division and hatred and who caused innumerable deaths." His demise should prompt serious reflection about human responsibility before God, said Federico Lombardi.
But he began by saying that "in the face of a man's death, a Christian never rejoices." Rather, the ending of a life is always another occasion for looking to sow seeds of peace and to explore the necessity of repentance.
By contrast, President Obama, whose Christian convictions have been on display a good deal lately, used a Medal of Honor ceremony to declare that the world is a safer place because of the death of bin Laden. This is most unlikely to be true. Already announcements are being made about the cycles of revenge that will almost certainly follow.
Al-Qaida will regrettably continue. It is not so much an organisation as a name used by disparate groups and leaders with overlapping grievances. Unless the West seeks to address running sores in the Middle East and elsewhere, its own military actions are likely to be met with yet more 'asymmetric conflict' - albeit from a more peripheral set of locations than it occupied until recently. Moreover, an opportunity to exercise international justice in relation to the accusation that bin Laden was a major protagonist in the horrific 9/11 murders has now been lost.
In terms of religion, there is also wide misunderstanding of what this death means. In fact the man "we" have "taken out" was – as Michael Marten has pointed out (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/14685) – not a cleric, had no formal training in Islamic law, spoke for no government, led no substantial movement and had few followers. He was denounced even by the Muslim Brotherhood. To see his murder as the key to overcoming terror tactics is fundamentally to misconstrue the world. Yet this is the course our geopolitics remains set for.
At a moment like this, it would be wrong not to extend heartfelt prayers for all those who lost loved ones at Ground Zero. If they feel a sense of vindication, it is hard not to sympathise. But it would be equally wrong not to acknowledge the deep damage that "rejoicing" at another's death does to the human spirit, to fail to acknowledge the pain and suffering of many others caught up in the confrontations bin Laden has come to symbolise (including those labelled enemies), and to avoid the difficult lessons of recent history in relation to Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.
As theologian Walter Wink (http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/content/cpt/article_060823wink.shtml) and Christian cultural anthropologist Rene Girard have said, the most primeval sites of sin in all human cultures are the 'myth of redemptive violence' (which believes that wrongdoing is undone by yet more wrongdoing) and the 'scapegoat mechanism' (whereby we mimetically seek to expel evil by projecting it wholly onto another and then killing that other in order to restore a supposed purity to the community).
Equally, there can be no greater 'clash of civilisations' than that between those Christians for whom enemy-loving, no matter how difficult and counterintuitive, is a central part of the way, life and truth declared in Jesus Christ, and those for whom an act of violence is an act of civilisation-building approved by God.
What the challenge of Christian divisions and the dominant response to Osama Bin Laden's death illustrates is that the dilemma we face is not a simple, monolithic clash between 'the civilised West' and 'murderous terrorists', or between Christianity and Islam. No, the fault lines of virtue and calumny and responsibility are drawn in far more complex ways than that.
Rather, as Gilbert Akar has suggested in his book Clash of Barbarisms: September 11 and the Making of the New World Disorder, it is the dark underbellies of all cultures, people and ideologies which are being exposed by these new post-cold war atrocities.
To which a Christian must surely respond by working for a deep awakening to the need for personal and political metanoia (turning around and heading in a new direction) – rather than sanctioning yet more worldly vengeance in the naïve hope that the next act of violence will be the decisive one.
