MAS-MC announcement on COVID-19
Congressional District Representatives
Confederate battle flag comes down: Myrlie Evers weeps. 'Medgar's wings must be clapping.'
Kayleigh Skinner/Mississippi Today
Myrlie Evers and Gov. William Winter head to the opening ceremonies for the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the Museum of Mississippi History in December, 2017.
Myrlie Evers began to weep when she heard the Mississippi Legislature voted to remove the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag.
"I can't believe it. I am so emotional," the widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers said. "Medgar's wings must be clapping."
On Sunday, the Mississippi House and Senate voted to replace the current state flag, a day after they voted to suspend the rules in order to bring up the new legislation.
If Gov. Tate Reeves signs the bill as expected, Mississippi would cease being the remaining state in the nation with the Confederate battle flag as a part of its state flag.
Under the legislation, a nine-person commission would be appointed to adopt a new design for the state flag. That design must include the phrase, "In God We Trust," but it can't include the Confederate battle emblem.
If voters in November reject the new design, the commission would present a different option to the Legislature in 2021.
A recent poll found that 55% of Mississippians wanted to change the current flag. That number jumped to 72% when the flag incorporated the motto, "In God We Trust."
Both House Speaker Philip Gunn and Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann championed passage of the bill in the Republican-controlled Legislature.
State Sen. Robert Johnson, D-Natchez, said the passage of the bill has taught the state a lesson. "We're white. We're black," he said. "We're from the Delta. We're from the hills. We're from the coast. We are one Mississippi moving forward."
State Sen. Briggs Hopson, R-Vicksburg, acknowledged that the Legislature has "punted this ball away in the past … Right now, in this great state in which we live, on this day, we have an opportunity to push this ball across the goal line."
Myrlie Evers praised the courage of lawmakers. "I never thought this would happen," she said. "For the people who hold the palm of Mississippi in their hands, for their wisdom and their strength, for them to vote the way they did is all but unbelievable to me, but I am ever so thankful for that vote."
Mississippi has flown the current state flag since 1894 — four years after the state adopted a new constitution aimed at reasserting white supremacy and disenfranchising African Americans.
Other Southern states followed Mississippi's lead, and soon African Americans across the South were barred from voting.
Myrlie Evers was born in 1933 in Vicksburg, the last major Confederate stronghold along the Mississippi River before Confederate soldiers surrendered to Union forces on July 4, 1863.
Growing up there, the Mississippi flag symbolized "slavery and second-class citizenship for those whose color was not white," she said.
She is nearing 90 years of age, she said, "and I have carried the burden of my skin to what it represented to Caucasians and remember what my forefathers fought for — education and land ownership."
Her late husband, Medgar, "gave his life for his country," she said. "He fought in Europe as a second-class soldier, fighting for a country that did not appreciate him. His life was taken June 12, 1963, because of those same freedoms."
She worries that the hard work of those in the civil rights movement has been forgotten.
"We're moving into more turbulent times because of the leadership in this country," she said.
After watching the news, she said she sometimes finds herself in anger and despair.
"I feel my heart being ripped in shreds," she said. "I hurt that deeply for what's going on in America today."
The deaths of George Floyd and other African Americans captured on video and shown on television have resurrected nightmares of the night when her husband was shot in the back in their driveway outside their Jackson, Mississippi, home.
When she heard the gunshot, she ran outside, saw her husband in a pool of blood and screamed. He died an hour later at the hospital.
"America is at a crossroads," she said, just as it was six decades ago during the civil rights movement.
"I don't have much time left, but I have children and I have grandchildren," she said. "What kind of future will they have here, what kind of life will they have here in the land of their birth, the land that their grandfather fought in Europe to protect, America the Beautiful? But America is no longer beautiful."
She continues to pray for God's help for the nation, she said. "I'm frightened, and I just hope people of goodwill will come together and vote for what they know is right and what is just and what is good for all of us, regardless of race, creed or color."
She regards hatred as poison. "It poisons us as individuals," she said. "I don't want that poison flowing through my veins anymore."
What Mississippi has done should inspire the nation, she said. "If Mississippi can make a move like this, I hope the rest of America can look at themselves and their states and see their signs of prejudice, hate and racism and perhaps be brave enough to remove them."

On Thursday morning, the New York Giants opted to extend cornerback Prince Amukamara's contract through 2015.
The decision had to be made by May 3rd, which was the deadline for first round picks from the 2011 draft.
The G-Men could could have passed on the extension, which would've made Amukamara a free agent at the end of this season.
Instead, Amukamara will make almost $7 million dollars in 2015, which will put him in the price range of cornerbacks like Tennessee's Jason McCourty, Pittsburgh's Ike Taylor and Tampa Bay's Alterraun Verner.
Big Blue also added cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie this off-season for $7 million, along with Seattle's Walter Thurmond. With those two names new to the roster, it was doubtful as to whether Jerry Reese would extend Amukamara.
The 24-year old was the 19th overall pick for the Giants in 2011.

Department Chair & Associate Professor & Prelaw Advisor
Location: Laurentide Hall 5130
Matt Egerer graduated from UW-Whitewater in 2007 and now works in one of Wisconsin's most historic buildings in downtown Madison: the state capitol. As a Legislative Aid to Representative and Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, Egerer relies daily on experience that he gained through his degree in political science.
"The subject matter about the mechanics and theories about government and politics goes hand in hand with the practical application we apply here at the capitol," Egerer said.
Just as representatives from the Wisconsin State Assembly debate and discuss on the future laws, rules and regulations, Egerer utilizes similar skills from his past courses and fieldwork in political science. "I always liked the debating and discussion aspect of it," he said. "A large part of political science is the debating of ideas and debating the merits of concepts and positions."
During his time at UW-Whitewater, Egerer was involved in student government, a fraternity and intramural sports. He also gained experience from jobs and internships, including the Walworth District Attorney's Office, the City of Whitewater and multiple political campaigns. "Internships are a great opportunity because they show you what it's like to be in the positions that you're considering. I felt like I got my feet wet in a number of things that were within my field of what I wanted to do."
After his internship with the District Attorney's office, Egerer realized the courtroom wasn't his forte, and he realized he really enjoyed state campaigning and lawmaking. After Egerer helped State Legislator Kim Hixon's campaign during his final semester at UW-Whitewater, Hixon made a pitch for Egerer during an assembly meeting, and another representative soon hired him after graduation.
Egerer also debunked the myth that political science degree holders won't find a job after they graduate. "Yes, political science is a broad field so you can do a lot of different things with it. But you can't go work at the political science store. With political science you have a great deal of flexibility, but you have to map out what you want to do with it," he said.
Egerer said that part of the wonderful thing about Whitewater is that you have the opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond. "Being in organizations gives you leadership, experience and a background so that when you walk into an interview, rather than talking about what you've been studying, you can say I was in charge of this, and here is something I've done. It gives you real world things you can point to and really show yourself as a potential employee."
Along with networking, Egerer recommends to both potential and current students to take your courses and projects seriously while in school and gain as much experience as you can. "You think you're not going to write papers when you graduate, but really you probably are in a variety of different professions. Everything for the most part is dealing with people. You'll have to summarize verbally or on paper what your points of view are."
Egerer hopes to continue working with politics and recommends the Political Science major to any undecided undergraduate. "Don't declare right away if you're not sure. I think it's good for a new political science student to have a loose plan. Take a variety of classes to see what you're interested in. At Whitewater you can take part in many opportunities."

Could You Plan Out Every Single Thing You Eat?
When it comes to food, it turns out planning is the key. In a study recently published in Psychology and Health, McGill Psychology professor Bärbel Knäuper asked 177 subjects to set themselves the goal of consuming more fruit for a period of seven days. Everyone in the study ate more, but the students who made a concrete plan, wrote it down, and also visualized how they were going to carry out the action—when, where and how they would buy, prepare and eat fruit—were twice as successful as those who simply tried harder.
I'm going to give this a try, since it seems so simple. But I have to say: I don't know if I can eliminate all unplanned eating from my life. Sometimes making a last-minute choice about what to have for dinner can bring a bit of spontaneity to an otherwise overplanned, overscheduled day.
What about you: do you think you could anticipate—and visualize—every food choice you make?

Sascon 2015
By Radek June 11, 2015 June 13, 2015 Uncategorized
Today I had an opportunity to take part in the panel Technical vs Content during first day of Sascon Manchester ; We were discussing what has the biggest impact on organic performance, the technical architecture of a website, or the content.? A view on the market concensus on where you should be spending your time. Speakers included: myself on behalf of iProspect Manchester; James English, BBC and Edward Cowell, Mediacom.
Content below has been originally posted by Emily Diment on http://www.pushon.co.uk/blog/technical-vs-content-sascon-2015/
The panel for this session comprises of Radek Kowalski Group Technical Search Manager from iProspect Manchester, Teddie Cowell, Director of SEO at MediaCom and James English, Senior SEO Analyst for BBC Sport.
Everyone on the panel believes that the content vs technical debate is an interesting one. It's something that is sometimes a bit of a contentious issue, but it's one that always needs to be considered when planning an SEO campaign or organic strategy.
Technical SEO has moved away from just a tech audit to mobile, platform builds and commerce platforms which takes tech away from short term projects to more long-term tech SEO projects, according to Radek, which makes having technical knowledge a requirement for an SEO.
So, how much do other people within agencies know or care about SEO?
At MediaCom, SEO is a core focus within other departments' agendas. There is a big desire within the industry to get content marketing to work harder. SEOs in general have a really good understanding of how the web works. The majority of the budgets being spent on brands aren't being spent on SEO; they're being spent on brand budgets.
SEO considerations are increasingly becoming a part of brand marketing conversations from the very outset because SEOs are good at joining the pieces of a campaign together from the beginning. SEO helps to maximise value from budgets.
There has been a huge change in SEO over the last three years, says Radek, moving heavily towards content. In fact, people are becoming obsessed with content: how to do it better, how to get better ROI. iProspect Manchester has become very good at creating SEO content which supports massive campaigns. Technical optimisation can't be forgotten. It's almost like a vehicle for how content can be deployed. If the range of clients is small it can be very easy to technically deploy content, but if you're trying to work on massive eCommerce systems for very large brands it can be difficult to deploy content. The technical element to content-based SEO is now more important because it has to work with your content.
You could have good content with a good awareness but it could be more successful if you have the technical element sorted.
Whatever you do for a project you have to make key stakeholders happy by educating them about how SEO can make things better but still keeping technical standards high.
Educating clients of the value of SEO is one of the most important aspects of any SEO campaign, says Teddie.
SEO at the BBC
One of the most interesting things about doing SEO at the BBC is being able to see that they are competing on a different landscape – they've got the brand authority but it's more about the way people are able to find the content that is becoming one of the challenges, as is the growing amount of competition the BBC has for news. They can't just rely on the fact people will be searching for their content via brand searches. Its easy to become complacent but it is a highly competitive landscape.
Some big technical SEO priorities for the BBC at the moment are sitemaps and newsfeeds as well as being able to react quickly to big news stories and high profile events such as the World Cup or Olympics.
Educating clients
We can create a piece of content that is technically sound but it still needs to go on a client's website and that is generally when errors and problems appear, says Radek. Changing wireframes can be expensive and daunting for clients. Similarly, UX does not always go alongside technical SEO priorities. Some elements that are great for UX may not work well with the UI and can break on different devices such as mobile or tablet.
Teddie believes it is an ongoing process because IT professionals sometimes have different ideas and different priorities to people working in and doing SEO.
What would you say works well for smaller websites? Should they focus on technical or content?
According to Radek, small sites with fewer than 500 landing pages should choose a good platform like WordPress with free plugins which can do 80% of technical work for you.
The smaller the site is, the more important the technical excellence is for you. He has seen small sites with no backlinks and a really well optimised technical elements that are ranking really well. Sites need to comply with technical SEO standards and make sure themes pass site validations for mobile friendliness and page speed amongst others.
Teddie agrees: there is still the role for technical SEO for smaller sites. They need to consider essential technical things including consistency for URL and header elements like h1s.
When you see content being produced that is great, what do you see are key technical elements that are often forgotten or missed?
With storytelling content using parallax pages, which is a popular design trend, the technical issue for SEOs is that is parallax pages are losing performance for searchers and some search queries.
James feels that it is important to experiment with different content formats to try to give the best experience for the user online. We are always trying to match the best experience for the user and match it with the site hierarchy.
Something designers love is Flash and JS but try to stick to HTML5. This is because it's very flexible and easy to digest for the search engines. Sometimes different types of content make a page not mobile friendly and you are running the risk of making the page unconsumable on certain devices, says Radek.
70% of your audience may access your content using mobile (think about that). If you work in an industry that focuses on young adults they don't really care about desktops, laptops or even tablets. They see the world via mobile phones and any campaign should be mobile friendly.
You have to remember that different clients have different issues, says Teddie. Not every brand was well prepared for the mobile update app. What Google did by forcing the point of the mobile agenda was a really good thing to do. Brands needed a wakeup call and that's what the Google update did.
How much of a role does UX play for SEO?
SEOs need to define the two different elements – UI and UX. User interface will help to make your site more accessible and more compliant. BBC has been focused for years on making their website accessible for different users. BBC creative should be used as a standard for accessibility UI.
Google has been giving people massive amounts of technical information and guidance which people should be listening to. Google will start to become more and more picky, and is giving messages like "be mobile friendly", "be clean", "provide a good UX". This is because they care, but they want to save their own money because their infrastructure to crawl the www most likely costs billions.
What is content to you? What is a good piece of content, what are you talking to clients about?
At MediaCom content can be lots of things, says Teddie. Anything that connects a brand to their consumers or something that people choose to engage with such as YouTube, press partnership or the website itself. It's about how the users are moving around the content.
James believes like Teddie that it is anything that connects users to the brand. He tries not to use the word content much around journalists because to journalists content is like a dirty marketing term. They call content other words such as features, articles, interviews, video content, TV content.
The final question for the panel was a good one.
Where do you spend a limited budget that has to get results? Technical or content? Consider that the client is a retail company of a medium size.
James: Technical
Teddie: Depends on the nature of the business. but for medium size retail, technical.
Radek: investing in technical can be immediately seen as having a positive impact.

People sometimes make the mistake of thinking that the possibilities surrounding a product called an economy koozie are limited. If you are looking for something that will enhance your upcoming event, then a koozie is a great way to make things more interesting. If you want to make sure that everyone gets to enjoy your gift koozies and has something to take away from your event, then you need to look into getting an economy koozie. Making a simple but effective statement that reaches a lot of people is often the best way to make sure that your company name, or personal event, is remembered for a very long time to come.
If you need a wedding koozie for a large wedding, then custom koozies from the economy selection are your best choice. Remember that people will appreciate a gift koozie no matter what it says or looks like. When you spend the time to design effective economy koozies, you are just making the experience that much better for your guests.
Your economy koozie design starts with choosing the right color. In most cases, you will want to choose a solid color that has some significance to the event. It could be the favorite color of the guest of honor at a large birthday bash, or it could be the primary color of a company holding a customer appreciation event. When you choose the color of your koozies, be sure to put some thought into it. It helps to enhance the event when everything is coordinated in some way.
The writing on the economy koozie should be basic but effective. It can be something as simple as the date and name of your family reunion, or the name and phone number of your company. Make sure that you choose a color for your writing that will stand out against the background color. If people can read your message, then it will be easier for them to remember where the koozie came from.
You can also choose to enhance your economy koozie with a simple graphic. It could be a company logo, or an image that has significance for your personal event. The image can be printed in the same color as the text to help it stand out from the koozie background.
Once your economy koozie is designed, the next step is to print as many as you can. The great thing about an economy koozie is that it is high quality, it can be completely customized, but it is still an inexpensive way to commemorate an event.

Liven up the dinner menu with these delicious meatballs. Make a huge batch and have them for dinner and lunch. Add a sauce, salad or vegetables and get creative in the kitchen. Grab one when you are on the go and have as a quick work day snack. Gluten and Dairy Free!
Colourful, nutritious and home made.
Pink rock salt and black pepper to taste.
A big batch of roasted veggies.
Place all ingredients in the blender and blend until a nice puree.
If you don't want to roast an onion just add in some spring onion green tops for added flavour.
Leeks from my garden. Give them a good wash and use the green and white part. Substitute with spring onion or onion if you don't have leeks.
Place all ingredients in the food processor with the chopping blade attachment.
Roll into small balls and coat in coconut flour.
Place in the fridge for about an hour to firm up.
Gently fry in a pan with some olive oil or coconut oil.
You can heat the sauce up on its own and pour over the cooked meatballs or alternatively brown the meatballs and then add the sauce to let it all heat up together. The flavours will develop more if you do it this way, especially if you have added raw spring onion in the blender stage of making the sauce.
Serve with your favourite veggies and salad.
Served without the puree here. The meatballs can be kept separately in the fridge and added to a lunchtime salad, grabbed for a quick snack or reheated for dinner another night.


Gardening has many benefits, yet it also carries everyday dangers you may not realize — especially for your back. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health cites back pain as one of the most common injuries reported. Americans easily spend more than $50 billion each year to treat back and shoulder pain alone.
Many of these injuries can be avoided or minimized when working around your house, saving millions of dollars and improving your overall quality of life. Focus on working properly in your backyard, not lying on your back in agony. A simple stumble, twist, or bend can pinch nerves, crush spinal disks, and send pain to almost every region of your body. Following some easy gardening tips can lessen hospital visits and give you more time in your garden.
Back brace. This supports your lower back as well as your posture.
Knee pads. Safeguarding your knees makes it easier to maintain your posture.
Comfortable shoes. Proper footwear lessens back strain.
Simplify your workspace. Work smarter and safer, not harder. If your task involves a lot of bending, try using a stool instead. Having your tools near waist level reduces unnecessary bending. And don't forget to warm up or stretch. This fights against stiffness, sore muscles and pinched nerves.
Avoid awkward posture. Try not to reach for things that are over your head or beyond your normal reach. You reduce muscle fatigue if you work as close to your workspace as you possibly can.
Mind your motion. Maintain smooth movement. Twisting your body is dangerous and can cause pain throughout your body.
Lift with your knees. This gardening tip may seem to be overused, but that's because most back injuries are caused by lifting with your back.
Use a ladder. Remember, you want to keep your workspace close to your waist level, even if that level is a few feet in the air. Make sure the ladder is sturdy and level to ward against falls.
Take breaks. Try to avoid long periods of repetitious movements.
When in doubt, ask for help. An extra pair of hands is the difference between productivity and pain.
Accidents are just that — accidents. There's always a chance you may injure yourself. While unfortunate, "walking it off" is not always the best remedy, as some injuries take weeks to develop symptoms.
The team at the Southeastern Spine Institute sees injuries from gardeners who don't heed safe gardening tips on a regular basis. They know the best steps to take to get you feeling better and prevent further aggravating your back. And they do everything in their power to help you avoid surgery.

Why We Gather
Location & Schedule of Events
Sponsorship Opportunities & Reception
The Power of Community:
At Marin Montessori School, more than a third of our students receive Tuition Assistance. Without TA, these students – our children, our children's friends, and their families – could not be part of the MMS community. Our mission to educate confident thinkers and compassionate leaders who will shape the future is only possible when we have open doors for students eager to learn and driven by the power of curiosity. You can make that goal a reality by helping to raise more than $250,000 for Marin Montessori's Tuition Assistance program through your sponsorships.
We do Fundraising Differently:
In 2020, we challenged ourselves to break from the traditional model of independent school fundraising. Despite the auction's long history of success, we saw an opportunity to create an event that gave back to the community in a new way, while also reinforcing our mission and values.
The Gather for Good has become more than a fundraiser or speaker series; it is the point where we identify the challenges facing our children's future, educate ourselves on how we can have the greatest impact, and contribute meaningfully to actions that build a healthier, more sustainable world.
The Gather fundraising, apart from the paddle raise to "Fund-a-Need," is done before the event through sponsorships. Our sponsors underwrite the cost of the event, allowing us to welcome all members of our community while also fulfilling over 50 percent of our total Tuition Assistance goal.
The Power of Story:
In a moment when our nation is debating our history and questioning our ability to connect with one another, the power of story is more than a theme; it's an urgent call to return to what binds us together – our stories.
The May 14 event will take place on the historic Angel Island known as the "Ellis Island" of the West Coast. It's a setting that embodies the stories that exist all around us–stories like those of the Coastal Miwok, Spanish explorers, Civil War troops, and more than one million immigrants seeking refuge and opportunity between 1910 and 1940.
As we come together for our third annual Gather for Good Speaker Series event, we are honored to partner with the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation to invite you to experience the island and its stories like never before.
From a private ferry ride to dockside cocktails and conversations with special guests by the fire, the evening promises to be, once again, unforgettable.
Watch this space for more details to come!

LEAGUE UPDATE
PRINCETON AREA LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
Volume 23, Issue 5 June, 2009
77th Annual Meeting
Sunny Gardens: 15 Farber Road, Princeton
Featured Speaker: Ryan Stark Lilienthal
"Immigration Problems and What Can Be Done About Them"
Mr. Lilienthal is a graduate of Tufts University and Brooklyn Law School and specializes in Immigration Business Law, Immigration Family Law, Visas and Citizenship. A former Princeton Borough Councilman, he is currently a member of the Borough Zoning Board.
An overview of the Immigration Position adopted by the National League of
Women Voters at the 2008 convention is on page 2.
Buffet Lunch: $18 per person
Guests are welcome
Please send your check payable to LWV Princeton Area by June 9 to:
Ellen Kemp, 18 Inverness Drive
Please join us for a nice lunch, a thoughtful speaker, and good friends at the LWV annual meeting. You may also pay your dues at this meeting. The dues form for the 2009-10 year will be found in this issue along with the proposed Slate of Officers.
LWVUS IMMIGRATION POSITION
The League of Women voters believes that immigration policies should promote reunification of immediate families, meet the economic, business and employment needs of the United States and be responsive to those facing political persecution or humanitarian crises. Provision should also be made for qualified persons to enter the U.S. on student visas. All persons should receive fair treatment under the law.
The League supports federal immigration law that provides an efficient, expeditious system (with minimal or no backlogs) for legal entry of immigrants into the U.S.
To complement these goals the League supports federal policies to improve economies, education, job opportunities, and living conditions in nations with large emigrating populations.
In transition to a reformed system, the League supports provisions for unauthorized immigrants already in the country to earn legal status.
The League supports federal payments to impacted communities to address the financial costs borne by states and local governments with large immigrant populations.
Criteria for Legal Admission to the U.S.
· Family reunification of spouses or minor children with authorized immigrants or citizens;
· Flight from persecution or response to humanitarian crises in home countries;
· Economic, business and employment needs in the U.S.;
· Educational program opportunities; and
· Lack of a history of serious criminal activity.
Administration and Enforcement
The League supports due process for all persons, including the right to a fair hearing, right to counsel, right of appeal and right to humane treatment.
The League supports;
· Improved technology to facilitate employer verification of employee status;
· Verification documents, such as status cards and work permits, with secure identifiers;
· Significant fines and penalties for employers who hire unauthorized workers;
· Improved technology for sharing information among federal agencies;
· More effective tracking of individuals who enter the United States; and
· Increased personnel at borders.
The League also supports programs allowing foreign workers to enter and leave the U.S. to meet seasonal or sporadic labor needs.
Unauthorized Immigrants Already in the U.S.
In achieving overall policy goals, the League supports a system for unauthorized immigrants already in the country to earn legal statue, including citizenship, by paying taxes, learning English, studying civics and meeting other relevant criteria. While policy reforms, including a path to legal status, remain unachieved the League does not support deporting unauthorized immigrants who have no history of criminal activity.
The position, written by LWVUS study committee and based on responses to consensus questions became effective upon approval by the LWVUS Board at its March 2008 meeting.
For further details and information refer to The National Voter" of June 2008
The League of Women Voters of New Jersey State Convention 2009
The State Convention was held on Saturday, May 2ndin New Brunswick, and was well attended by many different Leagues. Regular business that was attended to included the budget, reviewing the by-laws and any changes to them, as well as the reports from various League areas and the different committees. Voter Services was working extremely hard leading up to and during the Presidential election in 2008, registering voters and answering their questions, and answering phone calls non-stop on election day! Evidently, the phone number for the LWV was getting calls from other States – that's how well publicized the number was! The Advocacy group also gave a report regarding several different key areas: education, fiscal policy, government, natural resources, social policy and administration of justice. Many of these key issues can be read on the state Web site at www.lwvnj.org.
The part I found to be most interesting were the caucuses that were held in the afternoon, where you could sit in a small group, or visit several different groups, and discuss various issues that individual Leagues found of interest and wanted to have studied. There was lively discussion during these caucuses, and then the issues were presented and the pros and cons were discussed. Some issues were voted in favor of having further study and review done, and others were not. However, the process was really quite educational.
The League does so many different things – educational as well as outreach. I hope that we can bring the value of the League to many more people and hopefully future members!
By Ruth Ann Mitchell
ATTENTION MEMBERS
At our annual meeting in June, 2008 we adopted what was hopefully a temporary administrative organization plan, a Committee of the Whole, to make decisions and provide leadership. This arrangement (with the unfortunate acronym COW) continued through the 2008-09 year. We are glad to seek your approval of a return to President/Vice-president/Board organization and present the following slate of officers.
Slate of Officers -2009-2010
President Ruth Ann Mitchell
Vice-president Rita Ludlum
Treasurer Ellen Kemp
Membership Co-chairs Frieda Gilvarg, Nancy Hall
Voter Service Chrystal Schivell
Secretary Open
Update Editor Beverly Kestenis

Members without Portfolio Frieda Gilvarg, Edith Neimark, Linda Sipprelle, Anne Zeman
Voter Services Annual Report
from Chrystal Schivell
In August, Joan Bharucha conducted voter registration training at the NJ Primary Care Association. She also registered voters at the West Windsor Farmers' Market throughout the summer and fall. Nineteen LWVPA members joined in the LWVNJ's statewide drive on October 20, registering over 60 voters in Princeton and Montgomery and handing out additional registration forms and absentee ballot applications. LWVPA also participated in the Princeton Public Library and Princeton Youth Project's "Rock the Vote."
Candidates' Forums
Anne Zeman hosted a Candidates' Night in South Brunswick, and Rita Ludlum organized a Meet and Greet in Montgomery.
Voters' Guides or CQR's
An alternative to Candidates' Forums is a virtual forum in which candidates submit written responses to questions posed by the League. Responses are then distributed to voters for comparison. Voter Services decided to adopt this format whenever it seems unlikely that a live debate will draw an audience. In October, we reached out first to Town Topicsand then to The Princeton Packetto publish our Candidate Questionnaire Responses or CQR's. The Packetaccepted our proposal with enthusiasm. Because LWVPA encompasses the same area as is served by The Packet, the collaboration has been fruitful.
In November, Candidate Questionnaire Responses were published for the Princeton Borough Council and Montgomery Township Committee contests. This spring, LWVPA covered the school board races in Princeton, West Windsor-Plainsboro, and Montgomery, as well as the contests for council and mayor of West Windsor. LWVPA's name has been featured prominently in each CQR issue of The Packet, and last fall The Packetdid an editorial about us. CQR's appear online at The PacketWeb site, and Sandy Shapiro has placed them on LWVPA's site as well. Voters who seek information about candidates thus have several ways to find it.
Last fall Voter Services asked members to identify issues in their communities and formulate questions for candidates on those issues. Sheila Berkelhammer, Rita Ludlum, Sandy Shapiro, Jennifer Howard, and Joan Bharucha answered the call. Members of the Committee of the Whole advised Voters Services before collaboration with The Packeton the final choice.
LWVNJ Receives the 2008 Rutgers Award for Public Service
The League of Women Voters of New Jersey was awarded with the 2008 Rutgers Award for Public Service to New Jersey. The League was granted the award through a unanimous vote on behalf of Rutgers, the State University of NJ. The League is the first organization to receive the annual award, usually reserved for individuals. The award honors those that perform a vital public service to the residents of New Jersey. The LWVNJ aids New Jersey communities through their advocacy efforts supporting campaign finance reform, fiscal responsibility, and an open , transparent government. Thousands of New Jerseyans utilize the League's voter information hotline, 1-800-792-VOTE and Web site www.lwvnj.org.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE
"A diplomat never betrays fatigue, boredom, or disgust"
At April's very well-attended brown bag lunch, our League's own Linda Sipprelle gave an insightful talk about her experiences in the Diplomatic Services. Her career took her from Rome where she helped coordinate the visit of President Bush to postings in Vienna, and Mexico City.
How is the Diplomatic Service organized? Linda explained its five cones. The Political advocates
policy, is the right hand man of the minister, and handles complaints to the government. The Economic deals with exports and investment. A Consular officer handles tourist appeals and issues visas. Public diplomacy influences the opinion of the host country, handles speakers' forums and cultural and educational exchanges. The Administration handles all personnel matters and real estate management.
How does one enter this satisfying and challenging career? You must be a US citizen between the ages of 21 and 60. An exam is necessary in one of the five cones of the diplomatic service. After the written exam, an oral exam is given, where you might meet with three to five officers and be given a problem needing leadership and organizational skills to solve. A security clearance is necessary which is a lengthy process involving associates from your past. A physical exam is given both to you and your family.
While a formal course in diplomatic studies may be helpful it is not a guarantee of success. Linda
suggested that one interested in the diplomatic corps read widely on current events and history. Our League is composed of many accomplished people and we were (honored) to hear from one of them.

Saying Goodbye to Two Friends
Barbara Schwarzschild
Rosalie Markowitz
Most of us older members knew these great members and probably know of their passing. As membership chair, on and off, for forty years or so I want to acknowledge their contribution to the Princeton LWV.
Barbara Schwarzschildwas our president from 1960-62, working hard on all aspects of LWV but her especial contribution was supervising our transition from a Princeton League to an area League to include: West Windsor, East Windsor and Montgomery municipalities. Despite engineering this she had time for her hobby birding, all over the world. She took fantastic pictures which she showed along with playing recordings of bird songs to area schools. She has lived at Pennswood Village in Newtown, Pennsylvania for many years. (Martha Stohlman, Barbara's good friend at Pennswood. Also a former Princeton Leaguer) was kind enough to give us this information.
Rosalie Markowitz helped in so many capacities: voter registration, finding meeting places, suggesting possibilities for membership etc. Rosalie was willing to fill in at the last minute cheerfully and her optimism was catching.
We will miss them.

I am having trouble clicking the like button on some sites, but wanted you to know how much I enjoyed this article. Thanks Tanya.
AMEN, Tanya! Beautifully written, and oh so true! I think that's one reason our Good Friday services are so hard — reading the Passion according to St. John, singing "Were you There?", and so many other solemn things. We know the Cross was necessary for our redemption, but as humans, we hurt for our Brother hanging there.
Good Friday is very solemn to me. I thank God for the Savior!! Thank you Jesus! Thank God for the cross!
This spoke to me in so many ways.
Thank you for revealing a little more of yourself to me today!
Holy are you Lord! Who was, and is and is to come!
Oh praise the name of the Lord for His Goodness! Amen and Amen! God bless you?

Hyperthermia and radiation therapy for inoperable or recurrent parotid carcinoma: A Phase I/II study
P. Gabriele, M. Amichetti, R. Orecchia, R. Valdagni
Istituto Oncologico Candiolo
Background. The treatment of advanced, inoperable, or recurrent parotid tumors represents a clinical challenge. The results obtained with conventional radiotherapy are disappointing. To improve the early response and local control of parotid tumors, local microwave hyperthermia was used in combination with ionizing radiation in a biinstitutional Phase I/II study. Methods. From 1984 to 1991, 13 patients (20 lesions) with advanced (10 lesions) or recurrent (10 lesions) parotid tumors (15 primaries and the remaining 5 nodal metastases), were treated with 300-915 MHz of external hyperthermia after external irradiation. Heat was applied twice weekly at a minimum desired temperature of 42.0°C for 30 minutes at steady state. Ionizing radiation was delivered using photon, electron, or mixed electron- photon beams; the prescribed total dose was 70 Gy and 30 Gy for untreated and previously treated lesions, respectively; the median computed total dose was 66 Gy for previously untreated patients (range, 56-70 Gy) and 30 Gy for previously irradiated patients (range, 28-32 Gy). Results. Acute side effects were limited. Major acute toxicities included three patients (15%) with superficial necrosis, two of three who healed spontaneously in 4 and 6 months. Clinical response evaluated during the third month after the completion of therapy found that 16/20 patients (80%) had a complete response (CR), and 4 (20%) had a partial response. Four out of 16 patients who had CRs (20%) had a local recurrence, resulting in an actuarial local control at 5 years of 62.3 ± 13.2%. Conclusions. The combined treatment of local microwave hyperthermia and ionizing radiation proved to be feasible and moderately toxic for patients with advanced, inoperable, or recurrent parotid tumors. Even if clinical result evaluation was not the study endpoint, early response, and 5-year local control rates were encouraging.

Q: Вычисление факториала Здравствуйте! Подскажите по коду что можно еще дописать или переделать?
программу, вычисляющая факториал
натурального числа n, которое пользователь введёт с клавиатуры.
Как еще можно убрать 1, если например я делаю ввод отрицательного числа там мне выдает "Вы ввели отрицательный факториал!", а над ним выдает  1?
public class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
       int n;
        do {
            Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
             System.out.print("Введите факториал натурально числа n : ");
              n = scan.nextInt();
               int result = 1;
                for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
                  result *= i;
                  System.out.println(result);
                if (n == 0 || n == 1)
                 System.out.println(result);
             if(n < 0)
             System.out.println("Вы ввели отрицательный факториал!");
        } while (n < 0);{System.out.println("Конец");}
    }
}

A: Так вы сначала проверку на отрицательный ввод сделайте, а потом уже факториал считайте в остальных случаях. Ну же, подумайте же. Перестаньте заниматься компиляцией. Это не имеет ничего общего с написанием рефератов ;)
И зачем System.out.println("Конец"); вы засунули в фигурные скобки ?
И почему условие в do .. while такое странное?
И почему в случае 0 и 1 вы печатаете результат дважды ?
A:     int y=1;
    int n=8;
    for (int i=1; i<=n; i++){
        y=y*i;
    }
    System.out.print(n+"!=");
    System.out.print(y);

the consistent choice of tense and person.
Mary looked out of the window. The sky looked threatening, so she decided to take an umbrella.
What the two highlighted words share is the fact that they both refer to the same person – they have the same reference. The word she refers back to the word Mary without repeating the name. This 'reference back' is called anaphora. Successful writers keep track of the various people and things that they mention by building a reference chain by means of anaphoric devices such as pronouns. KS3 writers sometimes fail to make these links clear, thus spoiling the coherence of their writing.
The part of coherence with which we are concerned here involves reference: the way in which the text refers to people, places, events and so on. Let us call all these people and things 'characters'.
For example, in this sentence by a KS3 pupil there are six characters to which reference is made.
When his grandfather came the atmosphere was as if there were trees and plants in his bedroom.
After the first reference a character is 'on stage', a continuation of the drama metaphor.
A simple reference chain tracks a single character through the text. Usually the first link introduces the character, so this link needs to provide enough information to distinguish the character from everything else in the world. This typically requires a full noun phrase (e.g. the people next door or a large grey cat). Once 'on stage', however, the character is much easier to identify because it only needs to be distinguished from the other characters that are already on stage. Consequently the subsequent links give just enough information for this, using one of the anaphoric devices that you can look at in more detail if you wish.
A large grey cat was lying on the stairs, and I had to step over a large grey cat.
A large grey cat was lying on the stairs, and I had to step over it.
Here we can be sure that there is only one cat.
He made it sound as if it was outside and not inside. When I read it I felt as if he was a farmer of some sort. I thought that the boy wanted him to be there and not to be there.
him in the boy wanted him to be there.
which is held together by anaphora and which extends across four sentences.
Lack of clarity in these links makes a text incoherent. For example, it is uncertain whether or not the pronoun he in he made it sound also refers to the grandfather (it probably refers to the poet); and the reference of the pronoun it varies between the global situation (makes it sound as though it was outside) and the poem (when I read it).
where his refers back to a character in the poem under discussion (and possibly to the essay-question). In this case the writer is treating the essay as a continuation of the text read in class.
Benjamin seemed frightend when he seen the plane. Is uncle tried to foreds [force?] him. Lewis seem very surprise to see the planes. Benjemin seemed scared to sign when Alex said if we land in a farmer's felid and kill some old farmer's cow. He was afrided he could land in his farm and kill is cattle. ones he sign they went in the plane ones up in the air he seemed to forget he was in the plane.
As long as he is the only character on stage, Benjamin can be referred to safely by he and [h]is. Even after the uncle has been introduced, him refers unambiguously to Benjamin because in this position in the clause the only way to refer to the pronoun is by using himself – a reflexive pronoun. When Lewis is introduced the writer (correctly) reverts to Benjamin's name in order to avoid confusion.
However by the time we have reached the sentence He was afraid, a third character (Alex) is on stage, so it might have been better to use Benjamin's name again instead of the pronoun. In this sentence another character is also introduced (a farmer), so it is in fact quite unclear whether his field and [h]is cattle) refer to this farmer's field and cattle, or to Benjamin's.
More generally, then, personal pronouns work well as long as there is only one potential 'target' among the characters on stage. When this is not true, the writer has to take care that the reference is clear. Often the writer has to balance this risk of confusion against the simplicity of the pronoun, and an inexperienced writer may underestimate the danger (or the work required of the reader).
Pronouns are far and away the most commonly used word classes to create reference chains. A lack of clarity in the reference of pronouns is also the most common mistake in this area found in the writing of KS3 pupils, who often appear to assume, because they know in their own minds who him or her or his or it refers to, that the reader must know too.
Once upon a time there was an old woman who had a lazy son. She was forever scolding him, but it made no difference – he spent all his time lying in the sunshine, ignoring her. His main job was to look after her goats, but he preferred to sleep in the sun.
The creation of reference chains here is relatively easy, since there are only two characters mentioned and one is female and the other is male.
Hello, how are you? I'm so pleased to see you. How long is it since we last met? Didn't you ring me about six months ago? ….
Even third-person pronouns can occasionally be used as the first link, provided that the person concerned is easy to identify from the context; e.g. if Bill often calls for his friend Ben, "Is he in?" may be sufficient to identify Ben.
Was she beautiful or not beautiful? and what was the secret of form or expression which gave the dynamic quality to her glance?
Pronouns are not the only anaphoric device that is available. The same text illustrates three others.
In addition to these devices we can include two more which are not found in this text.
KS3 pupils rarely use the last four devices in writing, though they often meet them in their reading.
All the reference chains discussed so far were simple, in the sense that they tracked a single character. Complex reference chains are also important at KS3.
Once upon a time there was an old woman who had a lazy daughter. The woman used to scold the daughter all day long.
Benjamin seemed frightend when he seen the plane.
This is the first sentence of the sample text, and the refers back to the passage on which the questions are based.
Benjemin seemed scared to sign when Alex said if we land in a farmer's felid and kill some old farmer's cow.
Benjemin seemed scared to sign when Alex said if we land in some old farmer's felid and kill his cow.
Proper nouns are also definite in the sense that they are only suitable when the reader already knows the character referred to; so Benjamin means 'the person called Benjamin', rather than 'a person called Benjamin'. It is unhelpful to use a proper name when the reader does not know the person concerned.
because the character is currently on stage.
In the second case the definite noun phrase normally refers back to an earlier noun phrase. Since the two noun phrases refer to the same character they are often built round the same noun and may even be identical – e.g. the plane … the plane. However this does not have to be so, and varying the noun is an important way to make writing more interesting and informative. For example, since plane is a synonym of machine, the second the plane could be replaced by the machine. KS3 writers should learn to exploit such lexical relationships.
Benjamin and Lewis went for a flight. Benjamin hated it but Lewis loved it.
Once upon a time an old man and an old woman owned two cows. The man took them to pasture every day, while the woman turned their milk into butter.
Once upon a time an old king was very ill. The old man sent for his councillors. When they came before him, their ruler told them that he wanted to divide his kingdom.
Another kind of lexical relationship is provided by word families, which allow words of different classes to be linked to each other. For example, a noun may belong to the same family as a verb, so the two can belong to a single reference chain.
The king won an important battle. His victory made him the most powerful person in the whole country – indeed his power was greater than that of any ruler before him.
In this passage won and victory are lexically related as members of the same word family, and so are powerful and power.
Is uncle tried to foreds [force?] him.
They didn't want to go into the water, and he didn't force them .
In this sentence the ellipsis has removed the words to go into the water after force.
Do you love me? Yes.
It is very clear that the meaning of yes is based on anaphora, in the sense that it refers back to a preceding item in the text – in this case, the sentence Do you love me? This is a very efficient example of anaphora: one word expresses the meaning of a whole sentence.
the 'pro-sentences' yes and no.
I liked it, and so did John.
I ate it, and John did so too.
Will it rain? It may do.
I've got a pet goldfish, and my brother's got one too.
Yesterday he was mugged. Fortunately such things are rare in his life.
Apposition is the traditional name for a very short reference chain in which two words or phrases that have the same reference are simply put next to each other within the same sentence.
Notice that unlike other reference chains, the second member does not need to be definite.
Strictly speaking apposition does not contribute to textual coherence because it is only found within single sentences, but it is so similar to the other patterns that we have been considering that it cannot be left out of the discussion. It is also particularly important for KS3 writers as this seems to be the stage when stronger writers start to use it.
The two brothers showed very different reactions. Benjamin was frightened but Lewis was excited.
Benjamin was much more anxious than Lewis, but in the end they both enjoyed the flight.
The focus may alternate between the group and the individual members, which means that their reference chains intertwine in complicated ways.
We saw the plane land and its pilot get out.
We saw the plane land and the pilot get out.
This is an extension of the usual rules for definiteness because the pilot has not been referred to before; but it works because we know that a plane has a pilot so we can work out for ourselves which pilot the pilot refers to. This extended use of the can be called 'bridging'.
What is special about bridging is that it starts a new reference chain – in this example, the chain for the pilot – without introducing it 'properly' by an indefinite noun phrase. In other words, we take it for granted that 'the plane had a pilot', and continue as if this sentence had been expressed.
Since bridging is based on shared cultural knowledge it offers an interesting window into shared culture. For example, although bridging allows us to go straight from plane to pilot, it does not take us from plane to (say) man or leader.
I didn't know whether it was raining, so I looked out of the window. It was.
In this case there is an ellipsis after the second was, where we could have said raining. What is it about this sentence that permits the ellipsis? If it is the form of raining – the fact that it is a present participle – we might expect the same to be true for every present participle, but it is not. In fact, ellipsis is possible after some verbs, including be, but not after verbs such as keep (though it is possible after keep on).
It started raining in the morning and it kept raining all day.
It started raining in the morning and it kept all day.
It started raining at 12 and it stopped at 1.
I knew I had to get up, but when I tried, I couldn't.
I knew I had to get up, but when I attempted, I couldn't.
Whether or not ellipsis is possible depends on the word that remains rather than on the one that is omitted.

Chef's choice by Noelia
Summer roasted ham & pineapple salad
Noelia served up a creative Thanksgiving meal for her fiancé John aboard their newly purchased Privilège Serie 5. "It was our first time celebrating Thanksgiving on Sayonara, and since it was a really memorable meal, I wanted to share the recipe," she explains. "It was something I kind of threw together, but the result was so good we've had it again and again."
I'm so grateful to have John and Sayonara in my life, and this time of year is all about remembering why we're grateful.
"Of course, it helps if you can toast Thanksgiving with a glass of wine. Our favourites for this recipe are all reds — Caymus, Barolo and Cabernet Sauvignon." Best with fresh pineapple, this light summer recipe can also be made with tinned pineapple. You'll also need some cherry tomatoes and fresh baby spinach leaves for the salad. "I roasted some pineapple in the oven, or you can brown it in a pan. Roast or fry some pieces of ham — here you can use any kind of ham you like."
Thanksgiving is normally a time for getting family together in the US, but Noelia and John were enjoying the cruising life aboard their Serie 5 when the big day rolled round. Sayonara was berthed on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, sometimes described as America's favourite island, with its 12 miles of sandy beaches, winding waterways and sophisticated sporting and cultural facilities.
It is typical of this couple, who have spent as much time afloat as possible since they bought the boat in the British Virgin Islands, when the country was on the cusp of a three-month COVID-19 lockdown. They spent their first seven weeks aboard unable to step ashore, then, at the first sign of a let-up, they slipped the lines and made the nine-day maiden passage to Palm Beach, Florida.
"We had a lot of confidence in this boat," explains John. "I've sailed since I was 11 years old, but Noelia and I didn't have bluewater experience. We joined the Salty Dawg Rally, which was more of a collection of volunteers providing sailing information."
That first summer, the couple took Sayonara to Annapolis and around Cape Hatteras. In 2021, they were more ambitious, taking the boat as far as Maine before returning south. "Both times have been a really awesome experience and a blast time for us," says Noelia.
The couple like to eat out when the opportunity arises, but on days when they need to cover the miles, Noelia enjoys getting creative. "I love to cook I find it very relaxing, and it's a great way to finish a full-on day of sailing. The boat's kitchen is super well-equipped and such a pleasure to use. I like to look up recipes and make them with my own special touch."
