Public buildings require balustrade and handrails that are both suitable and appropriate for the look of the building and its use.
It may be the access or entrance to the public building, or the main staircase that requires something special in the way of balustrade or handrails.
Stargard "warm to the touch" handrail is an ideal access handrail, for public buildings, and can be fitted to Sentinel stainless steel balusters. This combination is attractive, practical and cost effective.
Citadel brass handrail is appropriate for the more traditional design of building whether it is for the main entrance or main staircase. If used for the exterior then clear lacquer coating is recommended.
Glassrail structural glass balustrade makes an attractive main staircase balustrade and has the option of handrails in stainless steel, brass, timber or even our Stargard "warm to the touch" handrail.
All of these would be perfectly suited handrails for public buildings.


On Sunday 2 August 2009, Ellie Harrison & Adele Prince (Sports Day) staged the inaugural Desk Chair Parade took place in Manchester as part of We are the Champions – Castlefield Gallery's 25th Anniversary. A group of willing volunteers – office workers, shoppers and gallery goers alike – embarked on a magnificent adventure, freewheeling through the streets on ordinary office chairs.
Harrison collaborated with Adele Prince as Sports Day on the Olympic Ring Doughnut Eating Contest on Saturday 15 September 2007 at Burgess Park in south London as part the second Artists' Sports Day organised by Grunts for the Arts. The Artists' Sports Days are organised as a protest against the recent siphoning off of 35% or the Arts Council Grants for the Arts funds in order to pay for the 2012 Olympics.
The Union of Undercover Artists was formed in summer 2006 by Harrison, Elizabeth Kearney and Joanna Spitzner in response to the project Part-time, which they had each been commissioned to take part in. For Part-time the three artists were required to spend four weeks working undercover in low-wage jobs and to make work in response to their experiences. As well as drawing attention to the lack of support or representation for individuals working in the visual arts sector, the Union of Undercover Artists formed one of the artists' major responses to the Part-time project.
Ellie Harrison & Adele Prince collaborated as Sports Day on several performance / events with a sporting theme from 2006 – 2009. They made their first public outing hosting Bouncy Boxing Championships the NAN-NANA – New Adventures in Networking event held in Nottingham on 28 – 30 April 2006. 16 lucky competitors were chosen from amongst the 60 attending delegates to take part in the contest. Four nail-biting, knock-out rounds later and a champion emerged – Paul Luckraft of The Royal Standard, Liverpool was awarded much sought after 'silver glove' trophy.
The first collaborative project between Adele Prince and Ellie Harrison was this artists' workshop based on the popular UK TV series The Krypton Factor. The day-long workshop took place at Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth as part of the ARC programme, which accompanied the Day-to-Day Data exhibition in the gallery. The Quotidian Factor featured a series of four rounds in which participants competed in challenges designed to get them inspired by the little things in life.


During the 2014-15 academic year, faculty from the UF Masters of Development Practice (MDP) Program led an innovative initiative in collaboration with two other member universities within the MDP Global Association Network: Sciences Po (Paris, France) and Université Cheikh Anta Diop (Dakar, Senegal). The aim was to promote institutional exchange across the Atlantic and to establish a network of faculty and graduate students working to address the specific development challenges facing the African Sahel in the context of security threats and climate change. This is the first initiative that builds on the MDP global network to foster inter-university collaboration on African development issues. The project was sponsored by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States through an award to the UF France-Florida Research Institute (Centers of Excellence program); it received further support from the UF Sahel Research Group, the Center for African Studies, and UF International Center.
The Sahel is an expansive region on the southern edge of the Saharan Desert characterized by intense environmental change, political and economic instability, and rapid population growth – all of which contribute to various security challenges in the region. Despite this complex confluence of issues, development initiatives have often failed to employ a systems approach, which would be well-suited to tackle interaction and feedback between sectors, scales, and states. The aim of the project is to shed light on the interplay between these different challenges and to generate development-based interventions and solutions aimed at alleviating social, environmental, economic and political insecurity. Project participants met three times during the 2014-15 academic year, once in each location. Periodic virtual conferences were scheduled throughout the year to facilitate long-distance collaboration. The culmination of the project will be the organization of a panel at the third International Conference on Sustainable Development Practice, to be held at Columbia University, New York (September 23-24, 2015). Project participants will present their group projects and subsequently finalize their work for peer-reviewed publication.
The first series of events took place at UF from September 20-26, 2014. The exchange week started off with a one-day symposium entitled "Demography and the Challenge of Social Change in the African Sahel", which was attended by more than 50 faculty and graduate students and included three sessions. Click here for details of the program and more information. The symposium was followed by a series of workshops and lectures, designed to expose students to specific issues and to generate discussion so to facilitate small-team collaborative projects. See the event flier here. The weeklong series of events concluded with the organic formation of three small groups of students, with each working on a selected theme, with the aim to produce deliverables in the form of a conference paper, a final report, and a policy brief. The three chosen themes are: climate information and gender in agricultural settings; use of technology (drones) for enhancing food production and management systems; and urban challenges and sustainable housing.
From February 28 to March 6, 2015, students and faculty from UF and UCAD visited the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po, where the MDP program is located. The three groups of students had opportunity to continue working together with Faculty guidance, and they presented their respective research projects at a workshop at PSIA (see program below), where they received valuable feedbacks. The team visited and made contacts at the Sahel West Africa Club at OECD, the European Union Institute for Security Studies, and the main OECD headquarters. The team also attended a presentation by Denis Loyer, who spent his career at the Agence Française du Développement and shared personal insights into the life of a development practitioner.
The third meeting took place at UCAD (Université Cheikh Anta Diop) in Dakar, during May 1-9, 2015. Several visits were organized with local actors and organizations. The whole group went on a field trip in the Thiès area, visiting two community-based projects aimed, respectively, to enhance sustainable food production through wind powered drip irrigation (Diender) and to combat soil erosion due to water runoff through stone lines, water retaining plants, and hand-dug trenches (Keur Musseu). The team visited WARC (West African Research Center) to learn about their many services and initiatives. Throughout their stay, student participants continued to work on their group projects and presented to an audience of academics and development practitioners at a workshop held at UCAD2, FASEG (Faculté des Sciences Economiques et de Gestion) on May 6. Dr Serra gave a lecture on May 4 to students from the MDP and two other Master programs titled: "Politiques agricoles: les cas du secteur coton au Mali, Bénin et Burkina".
Though limited to one year, the project has created a new partnership between the MDP programs from the three universities, as well as a lasting bond among the individual participants. Thanks to the commitment of few faculty members and the willingness of the students to work hard and capitalize on this invaluable opportunity, this experience has demonstrated that a small grant can have huge returns and meaningful impacts on students' personal and professional lives. The project promoters hope this initiative will inspire other forms of collaboration across the MDP global network of universities.

According to EIA's 'Oil Market Report' report, global oil refining capacity is expected to increase rapidly, resulting to a product boost from diesel, to gasoline, to marine fuel. The capacity will grow by 2.6 million barrels per day and the demand for the refined products will be approximately on 1.1 million barrels per day.
Mainly, the rise does not clear the situation for margins, which decreased as the price of crude oil increased in 2018, as stated by the Parisian EIA that is responsible for coordinating the energy policies for industrialised countries.
The developing demand uses only the half of the capacity coming on stream. If refining margins are being supported by accommodating crude prices, the utilisation rates will not experience a decrease. As a result, the product stocks will rise.
IEA supported that an increase in product stock will be useful, prior to the IMO's 2020 sulphur cap.
Margins are experiencing challenges from the developing oil throughput, which hit a record on December 2018, by 84.2 million barrels per day.
Also, refineries will process 83.4 million bpd in 2019, in comparison to 82.2 million bpd last year.
Concluding, EIA highlighted that the refining industry is to face challenges in 2019 in the possibility that crude prices keep on increasing for a third year in a row, which will result to a forceful slowdown in some refining regions.

What is Required for a Copyright?
What are the requirements for establishing copyrights?What is an Original Work? What does it mean to be Affixed to a Tangible Medium? What is a Creative Expression? What is Automatic Copyright Protection?Discussion QuestionPractice QuestionAcademic Research
What are the requirements for establishing copyrights?
Federal law governs the creation of copyrights. Unlike some other forms of intellectual property, there is no need to file or register the copyright. Copyright protection arises when an expression is an original and creative work that is affixed to a tangible medium.
Next Article: Time Period for Copyright Protection Back to: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW
What is an Original Work?
The expression must be the original work or creation of the author. That is, it must be sufficiently distinct from existing works so as to demonstrate some level of uniqueness in the content or organization of the content. This means that the work must be created and not copied.
Note: Facts are not original works; rather, the are recitations of certain truths. Expressions containing facts can, however, be protected by copyright depending upon the selection and arrangement of those facts.
What does it mean to be Affixed to a Tangible Medium?
The creative expression must be affixed to a tangible medium. This means that the copyrighted work must be recorded in a tangible format. A tangible format may include recording the work on paper, canvas, hard surface, digital device (such as a camera, hard drive, or video recorder), etc. If a expression is made without recording it to any form of tangible medium, it does not receive copyright protection. In fact, if the expression is communicated to the public prior to being recorded, it may find itself in the public domain and incapable of copyright protection.
What is a Creative Expression?
The expression must show some aspects of creativity. The expression cannot be entirely obvious or commonly understood. Logical arrangements of facts lack the required creativity. Forms that simply record information are generally not considered to be creative expressions.

The independent multidisciplinary think tank Unnayan Onneshan (UO) in its pre-budget issue of Bangladesh Economic Update identifies ten major economic challenges against the backdrop of shortfall in collection of revenue vis-à-vis target, infrastructure deficit and depressed investment, culminating into non-achievement of targeted rate of growth in gross domestic product(GDP).
Calling for public debates for shifting the focuses of policies and functions of the ministry, the research organisation suggests three core areas – expansion of productive capacity, effective provision of social services to the citizens and sustainable development – for the next national budget of 2015-16.
In addition to shifts in policies, the UO urges restructuring the present functioning of the Ministry of Finance by dividing the functions into six divisions, i.e. Public Finance Management Division, Revenue Division, Economic Relation Division, Social Security and Development Management Division, Banking Division, and Productive Capacity Expansion Division, in order to ensure enhanced effectiveness, strengthened capabilities and greater accountability, suiting to the need of the country.
Observing the shortfall in collecting revenue vis-à-vis the target, the UO finds that in FY 2014-15, the target of the collection of revenue was set at Tk 182954 crore, whereas the actual amount of revenue collection has stood at Tk 66697 crore during the first half of the current fiscal year, representing only 36.5 percent of the target.
Taking account of unsatisfactory implementation of government expenditure, the research organisation evinces that the actual amount of non-development expenditure and annual development programme expenditure has stood at Tk. 59789 crore and Tk17,009 crore during the first half of FY 2014-15 against the whole fiscal year's target of Tk 170191 crore and Tk. 80315 crore respectively, representing only 35.1 percent and 21.2 percent of respective targets.
Referring to the low budget deficit due to low implementation of budget in the current fiscal year, the think tank shows that against the target of Tk 67552 crore in FY 2014-15, the actual budget deficit has become Tk. 10104 crore during the first half of the fiscal year, which has been financed by Tk 1458 crore from foreign sources and Tk. 8646 crore from domestic sources (Tk. 5755 crore from banking system and Tk. 2891 crore from non-bank sources).
Referring to declining foreign grant and increasing foreign loan, the UO demonstrates that foreign grant and foreign loan have stood at Tk 393 crore and Tk. 5275 crore respectively during July-December period of FY 2014-15 against the target of Tk 6206 crore and Tk 4502 crore set in the budget of FY 2014-15 for the whole fiscal year.

David Cline, of Santa Monica, Among Oakland "Ghost Ship" Fire Victims
Jason Islas
David Cline, 24, of Santa Monica was identified Sunday as one of the victims killed in a fire that broke out at a concert in a warehouse in Oakland Friday night.
The fire, which has claimed the lives of at least 33 people, broke out in a warehouse called "The Ghost Ship" that doubled as the home of a local artist collective in Oakland Friday night during a concert.
The Los Angeles Times Sunday listed Cline, who recently graduated from UC Berkeley, along with six other victims, Cash Askew, 22, Nick Gomez-Hall, 25, Sara Hoda, 30, Travis Hough, 35, Donna Kellogg, 32, and Brandon Chase Wittenauer, 32.
In a social media post, Cline's brother, Neil Cline confirmed that David was in fact killed in the fire at the "Ghost Ship" warehouse, which was also the home of the Satya Yuga collective, according to Berkleyside.
"We just received word that my brother David Cline passed away in the Oakland Fire," Neil Cline posted on Facebook. "To all of you, thank you. Thank you for your kindness, help and love. To David, we love you. You will be with us always."
Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks tweeted her condolences Monday morning.
"Our prayers are with the family of David Cline of Santa Monica and the many other families who have lost loved ones in this tragedy," Seabrooks wrote.
Assemblymember Richard Bloom, who lives in Santa Monica and is a former City Council member joined in offering his thoughts to the victims of the fire.
"Our thoughts & prayers are with the families of those lost in the tragic #Oakland fire, including local resident David Cline," he tweeted.
Authorities said Sunday they have searched about 30 percent of the site.
"Personnel have created pathways through the debris, dividing the building into quadrants and removing debris by hand, bucket-by-bucket. This methodical and painstaking approach is important to respectfully remove the victims and carefully process the scene," Berkeley officials said Sunday, according to Berkeleyside.
Numerous reports describe the warehouse, which also served as a residence in a region where rents are increasingly expensive, as being potentially hazardous.
According to the New York Times:
Oakland's music and art scene was already struggling with high rent prices. The city's underground bands and artists live a seminomadic existence in search of warehouses, homes and other spaces to show art, play music and dance into the early hours.
Diego Aguilar-Canabal, 24, a blogger and freelance writer who lives in Berkeley and plays guitar in a band called the Noriegas, estimated he had been to three dozen house and warehouse parties over the past two years.
Aguilar-Canabal was quoted in The New York Times about his experience visiting the warehouse recently, which he remembered "as a dim and cluttered area with a 'maze' of furniture, canvas paintings on the walls and papier-mâché hanging from the ceilings."

I don't think Corey (owner) necessarily wants me to spill the guts about the specs, but they are the venerable Work Meister S13P in gold, 19's 🙂 They took awhile to get in from Japan, as it was a totally custom order, and not the usual specs, but the net result was well worth the wait I think. The clean white exterior with the contrast of the gold works so well, and Meisters and 350Z's are like peanut butter and jelly. Corey also was outfitted with the full range of SPL alignment parts, allowing him to dial in the camber and toe to whatever he wanted.
Just a couple nice shots I found of Naj's and Daniel's cars from the Stanceworks meet a few weeks back. Looking sweet and props to the photographer!

These just arrived from SPL today for both my car and Kwame's. Can't wait to put them in. Kwame's car is still on his original set, but my car is already on the second set. The first set was trashed about 2 years ago, and I replaced both sides. Unfortunately Nissan doesn't sell just the bushings alone, you have to replace the complete arm. SPL thoughtfully released these bushings recently, and we're eager to try them out ourselves. You can see where they install in the 3rd pic.
We just got some pictures back from a good customer of ours after the recent installation of the Zeal coilovers we sent out to him for his Z33. Evidently he could help but to include one of his good buddies in the photoshoot and I can't say that I mind.
Kwame and I drove up to the Stanceworks meet at Bear Mountain last Sunday. Other than a quick bit of wet weather crossing the GWB and getting my nice clean car sprayed by that bus, we enjoyed the drive up north – nice weather, windows down and good tunes are what the summer is about. The original meeting spot was decent with the exception of the quarry-like pavement 🙂 Would have worked out had the park police/troopers decided we couldn't be there (and the required permit been secured). Then someone had the idea to go to one of the huge lots at an area shopping mall – but the cops/security there didn't like that either. Aside from the guy playing his techno music at the original meeting spot, no one was doing anything to elicit being asked to leave by anyone. Oh well…that's how meets out here tend to go. We aren't really part of the "hella-anything" scene/movement/revolution or whatever you want to call it -we just like meeting cool people and the cars they are passionate about.
Here are a few shots I found of my car – thanks to those who took them!

In my opinion one of the coolest "factory-tuner" cars to ever come out. This is what all regular sw20 mR2S wanted to be when they grew up. Supposedly some of these were pushing 490 crank hp and weighed as little as 2,425lbs!
In 1998, Toyota Racing Development offered an official kit body conversion and tuning program for MR2 owners to transform their existing SW20 MR2 into a wide-body TRD2000GT replica car. This was to pay homage to the TRD2000GT wins in the GT-C Japanese racing series, since the TRD2000GT racing series cars were based on the SW20 floor pan. Toyota also did the same with their Supra Twin Turbo model, offering a conversion service to transform these cars into a TRD3000GT.
In order to ensure exclusivity, a high price tag was charged and total of just 35 factory car conversions were completed by Toyota Technocraft Ltd. Each official Technocraft-converted car was made using lightweight fiberglass components (front fenders, trunk lid extension, rear quarter panels, gas door, front and rear bumpers, 3-piece wing) and re-classified as completely new cars (with their own specially numbered TRD VIN plate riveted to the body to indicate their authenticity and rarity).
The Toyota Technocraft Ltd. TRD2000GT had a 60 mm (2.4 in) wider front and rear track (due to the addition of wider wheels and tires). Virtually every car converted also had other TRD parts fitted too, including extensive changes to both the suspension and engine. Most cars left the factory making more power due to TRD bolt-ons, some cars even left the factory boasting up to 500 metric horsepower (370 kW; 490 hp) and less than 1100 kg (2425 lb) for a very impressive power to weight ratio. While TRD Japan only offered a small number of kits with all body parts required for third-party conversion, Toyota Technocraft Ltd. offered complete car conversions.
It is unknown how many original Toyota Technocraft Ltd. cars still exist today, but it is rumored that a small number of conversion kits were imported from TRD Japan into the US for conversions. In many respects the extended body can be compared to that of a Porsche Turbo wide body. The car's width is extended and body dimensions dramatically changing the car's overall visuals. Very little is known about these cars outside of Japan.
Here is the Original Sales Brochure.


Kia released official details regarding the new Soul EV, the zero-emission variant of the small Japanese model. As mentioned above, we talk about the U.S. market which seems to get a larger appetite for electric cars.
We've seen several spy photos of the electric Soul, therefore, we expected to get official details at a point. According to Kia Motors America, the new model will be detailed in the coming months, at one of the motor shows which are about to open their gates.
They've promised to tell us comprehensive details regarding the powertrain and driving range.
Moreover, earlier this year, we found out that the new Soul EV could starts from $35,000 in the States, offering a driving range of about 200 kilometers.
Of course, there are just assumptions but we do expect quite good figures, matching the rumors or even exceeding the expectations.


Cedar Backup is an open source, cross-platform and free software project that has been designed from the ground up to be used on top of a GNU/Linux or UNIX-like environment to manage system backups. It's a command-line application that can be used from within a X11 terminal emulator or straight from a console environment. The program has been engineered in such a way that it can manage backups for multiple remote or local computers at the same time, being capable of writing backups to CD or DVD media. It supports multiple backup sources, such as filesystem, revision control repositories, database repositories, and many others. Another interesting feature is the ability to create regular backups every week on a specific day, especially at the beginning of the week. Please note that you must change the backup media (CD or DVD) weekly, otherwise the data will be overwritten, if possible.


About 62 paramedical staffers of Sion, KEM, Nair and Kasturba hospitals have taken ill in the last four days, after suffering from several monsoon illnesses, mainly malaria.
The assault of malaria has hit civic hospital staff as well.
Several resident doctors, interns and medical students in civic hospitals have also fallen prey to malaria, hospital sources said.
More than 150 new malaria patients are admitted to the already short-staffed and overcrowded civic hospitals every day.
and Nair hospitals in the class IV workers (sweepers and ward boys) category by Saturday to manage the influx, sources said.
"Malaria is rampant among resident doctors and medical students. At least four to five doctors, students and interns are admitted to Nair Hospital for malaria at any given point in time," said a Nair Hospital doctor, requesting anonymity.
While KEM Hospital will fill 126 posts and Sion Hospital will fill 67 posts, Nair Hospital will fill 66 posts by Saturday, according to Pradeep Narkar, head of the Municipal Mazdoor Union.
"Staff in all civic hospitals is under tremendous pressure now with so many malaria cases. Maintaining hygiene and cleanliness is top priority. So we will first fill the vacant sweepers' posts in hospitals," Narkar said.
eight from KEM Hospital have been admitted for malaria, fever and other ailments in the last four days or so," Narkar added.
Dr R.V. Rananavare, dean, Nair Hospital, said, "Every single worker counts, especially when our hospital is getting so many monsoon illness cases every day. Filling up 67 sweeper posts at Nair hospital will help ease the pressure a great deal."


Kathmandu, Nov 2 . President Bidya Devi Bhandari returned home this evening after completing a four-day official visit of Qatar. President Bhandari had left Kathmandu leading the Nepali delegation for Qatar on November 29 for the visit at the invitation of the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani.
Upon arrival, she was received at the VVIP lounge of Tribhuvan International Airport by Vice-President Nanda Bahadur Pun.

Stating that talks were held in detail concerning the welfare of the Nepali migrant workers in Qatar, Minister Gyawali shared that he had held a separate meeting with the Minister of Labour during the visit.
On the occasion, talks focused on the issues regarding return of the incapable migrant workers to their home country, availing treatment to them, enhancing their capacity and establishing skills development and training centres for the aspiring migrant workers among others to which, according to Minister Gyawali, the Qatari side took it with positivity.
Following the talks and discussions, decision was taken to set up a revolving fund keeping in view the welfare of the migrant workers and to set up a separate Centre to further simplify the migrant workers selection process, informed the Minister.
The agreement signed on agriculture and food security has opened up avenues for the exchange of cooperation in this area. He shared that wider discussion was held on promoting organic farming in Nepal.
The document also includes the matter related to collaboration between the security officials of both the countries on security affairs, he further said.
The President addressed a programme organized by Qatar-Nepal Business Forum where she called on the private sector there to make investments in Nepal, the foreign minister added.
In a meeting held with Nepali workers in coordination with Nepali Embassy there, President Bhandari asked them to capitalize the knowledge, skills and competencies gained during their stay in Qatar to the development of Nepal.
In a courtesy call on by Qatar government officials and private sector investors on Thursday, President Bhandari called for making investments in the construction of new airport, hydropower, drinking water and food sectors in Nepal.
President Bhandari was accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister Gyawali, Foreign Secretary Shanker Das Bairagi, Officer of President's Office Binod KC, Nepal Investment Board CEO Maha Prasad Adhikari and President's chief personal secretary Bhesh Raj Adhikari, among others.

Naya Rivera's Glee Legacy Is So Important, and It's Still Helping Me Come Out to Myself Today
Naya Rivera's Glee Character Helped Me Come Out
August 9, 2020 by Christine Shanahan
For years, Glee's legacy to me was that it was a cursed show with a cursed cast — the storylines and jokes that didn't age well coupled with more than one star dying before the age of 40 made it too dark to revisit. But when Naya Rivera tragically died in July after going missing while boating with her 4-year-old son, a tight knot inexplicably started house-hunting in my gut, and I felt compelled to take a closer look at the show and its mean girl with a heart of gold.
After all, it was Santana, the person who seamlessly moved between delivering the show's most memorable performances, tearing down her enemies in a single breath, and displaying a fierce loyalty toward those she deigned to hold close, who I could never look away from and saw parts of myself in (minus, as close friends of mine would be quick to point out, any sort of singing ability).
Santana has become a vessel through which I can sort through my own feelings, accept and embrace both the positive and negative, and ultimately see myself in a clearer light. What an incredible legacy.
I didn't start coming out as queer until my mid-20s, which was well after the show ended, and it's a journey I'm still on. But ever since that knot signed a lease in my stomach, Santana has helped me with coming out to myself and my path toward self-acceptance. Glee was a rare network show in the 2010s because it had multiple queer characters, some who, perhaps on paper, I should identify with more closely than I do with Santana. For example, Brittany and I are both white bisexual women, but our similarities end there. She never questions or wrestles with her sexuality. She floats through life and accepts who she is at face value. While admirable, her lack of self-reckoning makes her nearly unrecognizable to my own experience.
I grew up in an aggressively heteronormative part of New Jersey. One time in middle school, I drew a crooked line on a piece of paper and said to a classmate, "It's not straight and maybe neither am I." As the words flew out of my mouth, a look of horror crossed her face. I backtracked, made a mental note that my comment was "bad because gay," and prayed that it wouldn't fire up the ol' rumor mill. Throughout high school, I rotated through boys that I had crushes on (aka occasionally talked to and lightly Facebook-stalked). Some of these crushes were born out of genuine feelings while others were created out of necessity, because logic, more often than hormones, told me I should like a guy at all times. Simultaneously, I developed a quick wit that oftentimes manifested itself in making fun of other people's flaws. I became sarcastic, guarded, and acerbic, all in the name of being funny. It didn't matter if this came with holding a low-level amount of anger inside me. Coupled with the definitely only boys I ever had feelings for, I felt I could control my narrative.
There's a scene in season two of Glee that, upon a recent rewatch, blasted me wide open so badly that the knot in my gut can't possibly get its security deposit back (flash poll: should I stop with this extended yet lazy metaphor?). When Santana tells Brittany she loves her, she says, "I am a bitch because I'm angry. I am angry because I have all these feelings for you that I am afraid of dealing with." She goes on to say she's not comfortable coming out publicly because she's afraid of what people will say behind her back. Watching Santana give context to her anger and defensive attitude gave me a greater understanding of who I am. I have been described by people close to me as "an emotional brick wall" and "a tough crowd." These descriptors come from dear friends and they're absolutely true. I nitpick and criticize from afar and hold a PhD in deflection (a PhDeflection, nailed it). Writing and performing comedy is my greatest passion, but my early comedic voice was nothing more than sarcasm and an overblown fake self-confidence that barely cloaked my own insecurities and anger. Remember that Condescending Wonka meme from 2012? I dressed up as him for a themed party in college. It was an absolute hit because that meme aligned so closely with my whole deal.
Glee's Heather Morris Dances to Naya Rivera's "Radio Silence" in Emotional Tribute Video
So what do I know all these years later? While I now have a better frame of reference for previously unexplained moments of exasperation stemming from my repression, coming out didn't change my personality . . . and that's actually OK. And the same is true for Santana. There are sharp edges and snark, but there's also a deep loyalty that informs the very fabric of both our beings. To ditch these characteristics would be to hide who we really are — a thing we both stopped doing by admitting we're queer. Instead, coming out gives us both a backdrop to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves, past and present.
Over the past few weeks, Santana has become a vessel through which I can sort through my own feelings (a thing that I, like Santana, hate doing), accept and embrace both the positive and negative, and ultimately see myself in a clearer light. What an incredible legacy.
When I watched Glee as a teenager (so deep in the closet I might as well have been in Narnia), I never would have guessed that Santana Lopez would be the character to have a lasting and positive impact on me. Frankly I never thought I would return to the show. For years, I would shamefully tell people, "Yeah I used to watch Glee. And unfortunately owned a lot of the music, but who cares. That show was totally lame. I have better taste now." What a very Santana reaction to have.

When Wine purchased Tableau licenses in 2012, they simultaneously created their business intelligence (BI) sector, with a goal to democratize data.
With Tableau, business sectors produce their own sales reports, allowing the IT team to focus on other important projects. And with Tableau Online, employees can access prebuilt dashboards to answer strategic questions. The BI team publishes data sources to Tableau Online, ensuring a single source of truth.
Tableau: What was the impact of Tableau within your company?
Alisson Vitorino, Management Information Specialist:: It was very positive. We needed a tool that almost all sectors would use. In addition to facilitating its distribution, it also serves to unify company numbers and company data, facilitating everyone's job. Tableau came to help and is helping today.
Tableau: How did you decide on Tableau? Can you tell us about your implementation?
Alisson: The Tableau implementation in Wine was very smooth. It was picked after testing all tools in the market. Tableau was chosen for its ease and simplicity of use, while also taking into consideration the other sectors that would also use the tool. So it was a very simple implementation.
Tableau: What kind of challenges were you facing? How did Tableau help you resolve them?
Alisson: The same issues common to all businesses: using information, information that everyone can access and share the same numbers and the same data. We did not have this, so we were seeking to resolve this issue and with the help of Tableau, we are on the right path. Today, information is already unified and everyone can access the same data in the same place, thanks to Tableau.
I would say that you can test all of the available tools in the market, but you will find that only Tableau is so simple and easy to use for any type of user, whether they are in BI or another sector.
Tableau: What metrics are you analyzing in Tableau?
Alisson: [We are analyzing metrics] such as sales and inventory. Inventory, incidentally, gave us a lot of work because each area had different data. Now with Tableau, we have a unique data source and everyone accesses the same information.
Tableau: And what would you say to someone who is considering using Tableau?
Alisson: I would say that you can test all of the available tools in the market, but you will find that only Tableau is so simple and easy to use for any type of user, whether they are in BI or another sector.
Tableau: How did you learn about Tableau?
Alisson: In 2012, when the BI sector was created within Wine, we started looking for a tool that would be simple and at the same time, useful for the company. We thereby were searching out all available options and testing them. The idea was always to find one that everyone could use and not just the BI area. That's how we arrived at Tableau, because of its simplicity and ease of operation. Today, seven or eight sectors of the company are using Tableau and the only link between them is our database. We unify the information and they use it quickly and easily.
We arrived at Tableau because of its simplicity and ease of operation. Today, seven or eight sectors of the company are using Tableau and the only link between them is our database. We unify the information and they use it quickly and easily.
Tableau: What is your goal with Tableau?
Alisson: The main objective is to further spread unified information within the company.
Today, we have three users who use Tableau Desktop and five who use Online. And the idea is to extend this use to the rest of the company, so that everyone will have access to information at the snap of their fingers. Our goal is to eliminate as many reports as we can being produced by IT, transferring their production to the BI area. We will use Tableau to address this task, thereby freeing IT to focus on other projects.
Tableau: How has Wine benefited from Tableau Online?
Alisson: Tableau Online has helped add even greater use of the tool. In our case, Online users are those people who usually only need to view data and not manipulate them. So we have created some dashboards for them in which they can create filters as they need. Desktop is more focused on the strategic issues of data analysis itself.
The goal is that both groups can access the information in a unified way and walk on their own two feet, reducing their dependence on the BI area.


how to circulate water for a car generator ?
Since I do have a small greenhouse, I would like to generate some electricity for a electric car heater. I am thinking along the lines of a water wheel. Any idea how to circulate the water back and forth (up or down). Your input would be appreciated.
how do you make a water wheel?
Hi I'm soon to move into a property with a rather nice stream running through it. At times it can be quite fast flowing. I thought it would be grat to make an electricity generating water wheel, but don't know where to start. It's not very deep but i can modify it. Any ideas?
What is the easiest to build form of human powered propulsion for a cardboard boat(must be made of cardboard)?
Me and a group of people are working on a cardboard boat and the propulsion has to be made mostly of cardboard. We want to use something better than paddles. I have been looking around to try and find something that can be adapted out of cardboard and have only found a couple of methods of propulsion. 1. paddle wheel 2. normal propeller 3. impeller 4. hydrofoil wing Anything else that might work that is not in this list would be awesome. Remember, this is human powered so the RPMs will be low.
trying to make a simple motion sensor to be fitted on a car wheel ?
does anyone know how to make a canoe trolley/dolly so i can pull a canoe to the water myself?
KIDS BOAT, Looking for Ideas, Please Help!!!!
Ok, So I am a tinkerer Last month we we're at the Lake and my 5 YearOld and my 4 YearOld decided that they want a BOAT.. So being the Father that I am, Became flooded with giving MY kids a boat unlike anyone's. SO Began the Brain Storm. Picked up a Cheap "BROKEN" Trolling motor, and a Toy Sandpit from a friend.. SANDPIT holds water, Must hold OUT water as well... Want to build small "Transom" out of PVC fittings that will fit snugly in Aft. Also would like to fashion a way to use the Steering wheel, that I don't have yet... to Either turn the Motor or Manipulate a Rudder of some Sort.. Also a Throttle set up unfortionitely to turn the throttle into the forward position it turns Clockwise.. not counter clockwise, which would allow me to mount it somehow on the right side, Like a Real boats Throttle control.. have some Thick HDPE Sheeting, that molds fairly well when heated.. and Also the Trolling motor... Pictures Included.. Please ANY Ideas would be Greatly Appreciated.. My Son and Daughter want a TUGBOAT, which thankfully this lends itself to PERFECTLY!!!!
I had the idea to have the kids at my favorite summer camp group to "pump" their own electricity because one of the more primitive camps in that group already pumps their own water, but doesn't use electricity. What's the best way to put kinetic energy in batteries? When i say best i mean highest mechanical advantage. The ways i can think of are: -shaking a magnet through a coil of wires -spinning a wheel to shake " " -pedaling to spin the wheel to " '' -using a lawn mower sort of wheel. Also to refresh my memory what are the other ways (with a higher mechanical advantage) to move a magnet with coils to generate electricity?
I need some help. I am trying to design a self contained non electrical hydroponic system & part of it will have a water wheel that is supposed to lift more water up to a collection bucket up top to start all over again. But the issue that I am having is that I have no idea how to design gears for 3D printing & I also am no expert in planetary gear workings. So I am looking for some help.
Need a 100v 0.2a generator...?
I don't know where to get/how to adapt a generator with the specs i need. What i'm going to be using it for is a water wheel (a bike tire with paddles on it) to charge my phone while camping, so light is nice. I figure it'll probably be small and i don't need 100v, because it's a phone charger, but i'm not sure how that works so i could easily be wrong, but i believe that the 100-250v on the base of the charger is the max load.
I've been struggling to build an aeroponics system and the only problem I have right now is the misting system. I purchased some misting nozzles off amazon that I inserted into some vinyl tubing and sealed with a silicon sealant. I used a small DC 6V pump powered by my Arduino to pump the water to the nozzles. Now the little pump couldn't provide enough pressure to create a mist of water (I think its pump rate was something like 15GPH) it came out with some of the water leaking while a steady stream sprayed in four directions. So my question to the instructables community is was it my little pumps fault or did I get ripped off buying bad nozzles? What pump should I buy that will pump enough pressure to create a mist? here are the nozzles I bought and here's the pump I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HHW0FU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 <-- the pump http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004U3MRIG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 <-- the nozzles One more thing, I was thinking of a misting system which I'm unsure will work. I got the idea driving behind a truck after the rain when the road was wet. The wheels were spraying a mist behind them as they drove over the wet road. Could I simulate that effect at all with an electric motor and a small wheel?
HOPE: here I come !
I need your suggestions for my upcoming iBle!!!
I was deciding on whether to let y'all know what I'm working on, and since I don't know much in the area I'm working in, I decided it would be best.I am working on an amphibious bicycle that can operate efficiently on land and water. There are just a few on the Interweb, and they are for sell at high prices ($500 bucks at least.)I am trying to do this with as little cost and as much recycled materials as possible.So far, I've decided that:My propulsion mechanism either has to be a prop like your average boat, or a paddlewheel. Both would be powered by my back wheel.I am considering wooden pontoons filled with 2 liter bottles or gallon milk jugs, reminiscent of this iBle.I want to stay as high as possible, but I want to be able to go straight from land to water and vice versa. Basically, no assembly required to change terrain.If anybody has any ideas at all, please let me know!Thanks much,Bran!
i would like to make electric bike please guide me in a right way........?
I've noticed that there are a lot of instructables about making kites and making stuff to get pulled by your kite. But they all seem to assume one already knows how to kitesurf/control the dang kite, which is kind of an issue for people like me. I'd like to see an instructable with photos (maybe even video) of how to kitesurf, specifically omving the kite around and getting pull in various directions. With explaination in plain english of the headache-inducing technical terms. Sorry, but when I googled directions all I got was more confused. Of course, I'm thousands of miles from the nearest ocean, so I won't be doing this on the water probably (are reservoirs big enough?). In fact, I plan on learning all I can about how to control a kite so that I can go tool around out on the plains on a mountain board type thing. P.S. On a mountain board, do the trucks flex and turn the wheels somewhat like on a skateboard, or can I mount them rigid?

Greetings! Where I use to live my local paper posted some funny stories or or sayings titled "Laugh a Little" hence the name. I decide to post some of them to see what you think. None of these are ones that I made up, they're all from the paper. If you want me to post more I will. I have lots of them. Enjoy. Questions that haunt me! Can you cry underwater? How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out how to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every to hours? If a death person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing? Why do people pay to go up in tall buildings and pay to look through binoculars at things on the ground? If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a coconut radio, why can't he fix a hole in a boat? If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from? Church Bloopers The fasting and prayer conference includes meals. The sermon this morning 'Jesus walks on water.' The sermon tonight: 'Searching for Jesus.' Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husband. Don't let worry kill you off - let the church help. Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. A bean supper will be held on Tuesday evening in the church hall. Music will follow.
Take a tour of Instructables!
There's so much cool stuff here, I thought people (new and old) might enjoy a guided tour. Instructables is a web-based documentation platform where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others. These awesome people make it all happen. The seeds of Instructables germinated at the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects and help others; more history is here. Instructables is the combination of a number of things. First, there are the Instructables themselves. These are step-by-step descriptions of things people want to share. They are educational, inspirational, and often replicable. The Dachshund Wheel chair is my favorite. A passionate user shared something close to his heart, and has had a positive impact on many lives.There's the whimsical: Magnetic Acrylic Rubik's Cube. And, of course, the whimsical inspired by the whimsical: Magnetic Rubik's Dice Cube. And, the plain ridiculous: How to Get a Free Yacht and its complete saga. A cornerstone of what makes Instructables great is the comments. People ask questions, give praise, or offer improvements; this sets up a conversation between the project author and the community. Check out this cookie recipe where the author responds to a question about substitutions for someone who wants cookies now.Many of the best Instructables have won one of our contests: Show Your Heart Valentine's Day Contest, Holiday Homemade Gifts contest, Take Thanksgiving to the Next Level contest, Halloween Project contest, and The Magnet Challenge. Instructables has a lively forum for opinion and discussion. Really smart and talented people hang out here. Have a look at a forum topic on water tunnel testing complete with Reynold's number equations.Finally, what really makes Instructables great is the community surrounding it. These are passionate people that want to share what they did and how they did it. In recognition of this, Instructables won the 2006 Wired Rave Award for industrial design. Instructables gave power to the individuals so they could positively impact the world. Also, check out some of the news articles about Instructables.


§ The issue that is always of concern with misrepresentation is whether or not the fact is material. The fact must be material.
§ In 14(a) there is nothing in the statute that says who can sue if something goes wrong – specifically it does state whether or not a private action may be brought. So if it does not specify it – can the court still allow it?
§ Once there has been a merger it is almost impossible to put back the way it was – so the only real remedy is damages.
§ So the court in order to interpret the statutes looks at the purpose.

This book was received from the publisher for review via Edelweiss.I first learned about Just Like Fate after reading an early review. (Unfortunately, I can't remember whose review it was now. Sorry!) It sounded pretty interesting to me, since as you know, I'm obsessed with alternate reality books right now, so I requested it.Just Like Fate starts off with Caroline being called out of class because her grandmother, who she has lived with since her parents' divorce, has had a stroke and is in the hospital. After several days of going to school during the day and then spending the evening at the hospital, Caroline's best friend, Simone, urges her to get out and have some fun for the night. At this point, similarly to Pivot Point by Kasie West, the story splits into the consequences of each decision, with alternating chapters. However, unlike with Pivot Point, there is no paranormal aspect as to why this happens. Honestly, I don't think there was any explanation, but I thought it was really cool to be able to see what would happen in either circumstance.Just Like Fate is definitely a contemporary novel that just happens to have two different stories going on at the same time. Caroline is a very troubled character. She moved in with her grandmother after her parents' divorce, and has a strained relationship with both of her parents and her older sister because of it. Without her grandmother, these relationships change a lot, obviously in different ways depending on which decision is playing out. However, Caroline is very insecure, so sometimes she got frustrating. As far as the other characters, I liked her sister, most of the time. It really depended on which scenario we were in because she had a lot of resentment toward Caroline. Simone was an awesome friend but seemed a little oblivious at times. I loved Chris, but I tended to second-guess him because Caroline did a lot. Joel made me want to vomit. Seriously, any time Caroline was with him, I ended up wanting to smack them both.There were some scenes that overlapped that I really liked. These were definitely the scenes where the title seemed to make sense, and they were some of my favorite parts of the book. The ending was really interesting, though I kind of expected it to some degree.Overall, I thought that Just Like Fate was a really fun contemporary novel with an alternate reality twist and would definitely recommend it!This review will also be posted on my blog, going live on 8/23/13.

Elkton Minnesota Education Attainment Charts
This section of charts contains education data for Elkton Minnesota based mainly on the latest year 2020 American Community Survey census data but also the survey from Common Core Data available for Public Elementary through Secondary Schools. In Figure 1, the percent of all people aged 25 years or older, who have either graduated from high school or completed the Graduate Equivalency Degree (GED) or some equivalent certification/credential. Elkton depicts it has a High School Grad or higher of 94% which is the second most of all the places in the area. The city with the highest percent high school graduates or better in the area is Grand Meadow which depicts a high school graduates of 95% ( about the same size).
In Figure 2, the percentage of people aged 25 years or older who have graduated from college/university with at least a bachelor's degree is provided. Note that the bachelor's degree is also called a four-year degree because it normally takes four years of full-time study to finish the course curriculum required to obtain the degree. This chart portrays the proportion of the population in this region who are college graduates with at least a bachelor degree or higher. In many ways, this analysis alongside the prior chart are very quick measures of the level of education in any particular area. Elkton depicts it has a Bachelors Degree or higher of 16% which is less than most other places in the greater region. The city with the highest percent with a bachelors degree or higher in the area is Adams which depicts a percent with a bachelors degree of 21% (28.9% larger).
Figure 4 shows the percentage of people 25 years of age or older who either have no schooling at all or dropped out of school before being able to complete high school. Additionally, these are people who also do not have a Graduate Equivalency Degree (GED) or some other high school level type credential/student achievement. This analysis, along with the last two charts, provides another high level review and comparative data on the Elkton Minnesota educational level. Elkton depicts it has a School Dropout Rate of 6% which is the second smallest when sorted by percent who dropped out of school of all the other places in the metropolitan area. The city with the highest percent who dropped out of school in the area is Rose Creek which depicts a percent who dropped out of school of 13% (approximately 2.2 times bigger).
Figure 5 provides a more detailed look at the educational attainment for Elkton Minnesota. This chart provides the proportion of people aged 25 years of age or older and what was their level of educational attainment. The chart provides 5 broad categories including: No Education/No School, Some High School, High School or equivalent, Some college or Associates Degree, and Bachelors Degree or higher. Elkton has the percentage of percent of people with no schooling the second smallest as measured by percent of people with no schooling of all the other places in the greater region at 6% of the total. Second, it has the second smallest as measured by percent of people with no schooling of all the other places in the area when sorted by percent of people with less than a high school education at 33% of the total. Third, it has the largest proportion of percent of people with high school degree, ged, or equivalent at 45% of the total and is ranked #1.
The next chart shows a break down of people who have received a bachelor's degree or higher advanced degree generally in a campus learning environment. In particular, Figure 6, provides the proportional breakdown of all the people who have received a postsecondary education along with what the level of advanced degree that was obtained. Note that these categories do not include any type professional development type activities such as those related to maintaining professional credentials in workshop lessons. Note Professional Degree includes medical, dental, lawyers, etc. Elkton has the percentage of percent of people with a bachelors degree the second smallest when sorted by percent of people with an associate degree of all the other places in the metro area at 10% of the total.
The chart in Figure 7 shows the broad area of academic concentration or the discipline for people who have received a bachelors degree. This high level classification is essentially the field of study for which a degree was obtained. Elkton has the largest proportion of percent of people with a degree in a science or engineering related at 27.8% of the total and is ranked #1. Second, it has one of the largest proportions of percent of people with an arts, humanities, or other degree at 38.9% of the total and is ranked #2. The only larger city being Taopi with 66.7%. Third, it has less than most other places in the local area in order of percent of people with a business degree at 5.6% of the total.
The next chart (Figure 8) provides a more detailed deep dive on the category of major degree obtained for people aged 25 years or older who earned a bachelor's degree or higher. Specifically, this frequency distribution details out what the major field of study was the degree obtained. Elkton has one of the largest proportions of percent of people with a degree in physical and related sciences at 11.1% of the total and is ranked #2. The only larger city being Grand Meadow with 15.0%. Second, it has one of the largest proportions of percent of people with a degree in science and engineering related fields at 38.9% of the total and is ranked #2. The only larger city being Taopi with 66.7%. Third, it has less than most other places in the metro area in terms of percent of people with a degree in business at 5.6% of the total. Also, it has the largest proportion of percent of people with a degree in education at 22.2% of the total and is ranked #1.
Figure 9 provides comparative data between the places in the greater Elkton Minnesota region for broad educational attainment. This analysis uses provides five broad education attainment categories including: No Education/No School, Some High School, High School or equivalent, Some college or Associates Degree, and Bachelors Degree or higher. Elkton has the percentage of percent of people with less than a high school degree the second smallest in order of percent of people with no schooling of all the other places in the greater region at 33.3% of the total. Second, it has the largest proportion of percent of people with high school (or ged) at 44.8% of the total and is ranked #1.
A more detailed frequency distribution of educational attainment is provided in Figure 10. In particular this illustration breaks out the highest levels of university educational opportunities beyond the four year college degree. Included in the breakout are the relative proportion of masters degrees, PhD/Doctorate/Doctorial holders, and professional degrees such as medicine, dentistry, lawyers, etc. Elkton has the percentage of percent of people with no schooling the second smallest when sorted by percent of people with no schooling of all the other places in the metro area at 5.7% of the total. Second, it has the second smallest in terms of percent of people with no schooling of all the other places in the greater region when ranked by percent of people with less than high school at 33.3% of the total. Third, it has the largest proportion of percent of people with some college but not a graduate at 19.5% of the total and is ranked #1. The next exhibit (Figure 11) provides detailed cross tabulation analysis that provides education success data broken out or cross tabulated by age group. Please note that the columns add to 100% and you must use the pagination buttons at the bottom of the table to see all the rows.
Elkton Minnesota School Enrollment Charts
The next section of chart resources look at school enrollment by a variety of educational institutions and are categorized into a number of other groupings. Figure 14 provides the overall school enrollment by broad range of school age/level groupings. Elkton has the percentage of percent of children in kindergarten the second smallest in order of percent of children in kindergarten of all the other places in the metro area at 10.3% of the total. Second, it has the largest proportion of percent of children in grade 1 to 4 at 44.8% of the total and is ranked #1.
Figure 15 provides a simple high level comparison of the proportion of students that are enrolled in public schools versus students enrolled in private schools in the Elkton Minnesota region. Elkton shows percent enrolled in public schools very much bigger as the percent enrolled in private schools.
The next comparison provided in Figure 16 shows the proportion of students enrolled in private schools versus students enrolled public schools for students enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th grade (grade 8) or (K through 8). Elkton depicts percent of children enrolled in public k-8 grades approximately 2.8 times bigger as the percent of children enrolled in private k-8 grades.
The next chart in this series of resources shown in Figure 20 looks at the total number of students enrolled in any educational institution for each place in the greater Elkton region. (Total enrollment in this case includes all students from preschool all the way through students enrolled in graduate school.) Elkton depicts it has a Total Enrolled of 32 which is less than most other places in the metro area. The city with the highest total population enrolled in school in the area is Grand Meadow which depicts a total population enrolled in school of 313 ( appreciably bigger). Comparing total population enrolled in school to the United States average of 81,084,866, Elkton is only about 0.0% the size. Also, benchmarked against the state of Minnesota, total population enrolled in school of 1,395,300, Elkton is only about 0.0% the size.
Elkton Minnesota Area Schools Charts
Figure 23 lists all the schools in the area along with the school district, county location and other program information/credential such as if they are a public charter school or private charter school or magnet school. Some of the Area Schools are: Southland Senior High, Southland Middle, Southland Elementary, Grand Meadow Elementary, and Grand Meadow Middle. The next illustration in Figure 24 shows the total child school enrollment for all grades (through 12th grade) at the school shown using NCES data (Common Core of Data, Public Elementary-Secondary School Universe Survey.) Looking at Enrollment for Area Schools we find that Ellis Middle ranks the largest with a value of 1,014 enrolled students. The next largest values are for: Stewartville Middle (416), Neveln Elementary (414), Southland Senior High (213), and Southland Elementary (188). The difference between the highest value (Ellis Middle) and the next highest (Stewartville Middle) is that the enrolled students is about approximately 2.4 times bigger.
Figure 25 show the ratio of the number of students to the number of teachers in the classroom. A good student to teacher ratio should be low because it indicates that there are less students for any one teacher to educate in a class and generally a better learning environment, better success and optimal teaching excellence. Teachers includes all educational staff such as special education teachers and any other educator. Note that distance learning (online learning/remote learning) is not included in these values. Looking at Student to Teacher Ratio for Area Schools we find that Grand Meadow Elementary ranks the largest with a value of 9.4 student to teacher ratio. The next largest values are for: Southland Elementary (9.8), Lyle Elementary (10.0), Early Childhood Learning Center (10.2), and Leroy Secondary (10.3). The difference between the lowest value (Grand Meadow Elementary) and the next lowest (Southland Elementary) is that the student to teacher ratio is only about 4.0% larger.
The next chart, Figure 26, shows the racial mix of students at each location in this district of the state of Minnesota department of education.

The Writing
Franklin Avenue Rookery for Wayward Babies
Parallel to Paradise
Laura Newman
Addiction and Other Love Stories
Georgia eats her blanket….Aiden gets drunk on Red Eye and falls in a bathtub full of wallpaper paste….Alice falls for a one-legged Mexican cowboy. Included in this controversial collection of shorts is a story about a Catholic girl contemplating an abortion. A gay boy growing up in the wild, wild West. A mother of a heroin addict. Butter sculpture. Parallel to Paradise makes the ordinary, askew.
What they're saying:
Alex Eichler, of the Huffington Post, said of the story 20th Century, "I found it both haunting and vivid."
Oliver X, Reno Tahoe Tonight, called Newman "Erma Bombeck on coke," and said, "Her syntax is star."
Laurel Busch, Books in the City of Trembling Leaves, said, "Newman is a master at showing, not telling."
The Reno Gazette Journal's Susan Skorupa, shared: "Fresh, dark and addictive."
Below is a synopsis from each story:
A young Catholic woman contemplates an abortion.
I like the taste of Communion. It does not taste like the body of Christ, which I imagine to be salted by His sweat and the spray of Galilee. It tastes like His clothes, a fine circle of linen. I don't think it's baked. I think nuns in big, white, French wimples weave it on a loom while singing, "Dominique, nique, nique." I like to hold it in the top of my mouth for as long as possible and feel it melt like the rice paper around Chinese candy. One Sunday I touched it with my finger and my older sister made me walk home with my hand in front of me, touching nothing, until I washed my hands. Why can't I touch the body of Christ?
A visit to the ultimate anti-establishment festival.
We load up the Jeep and head for the Black Rock Desert because the Man is going to burn at midnight and we want to watch him go. We stop in Wadsworth at the Indian mini-mart that sells handmade doe-soft moccasins with little colored beads that tell a story on your feet. I can't read the stories. They might say White Man Go Home.
A mother deals with the fact that her son is a heroin addict.
When Georgia was a child she ate her blanket. Thread by pink, blue, yellow thread until there was just a thread left, which her mother saved as you would a lock of hair for remembrance.
The Quality of Light
A small story about a mother's love for her children and nature.
The road out to the cape is traveled most often by deer, elk, rabbit and hippies. The hippies don't care about the lighthouse. They are in search of the cow pastures that dot the cape because it is known that psilocybin mushrooms grow in the silty, poopie meadows. It's like an Easter egg hunt. "I found one! I found one!" Jump up and down. A tisket a tasket, psilocybin in my basket.
An Irish gay boy grows up in the Wild Wild West.
I don't know that Virginia City was the best place for a drunk. For the love of God, we owned our own bar, and if Mum kicked him out, Da had only to walk two doors down either direction and another stool trilled round, all shiny red vinyl, like it was calling his name. "Auld Aiden, come sit on my face!"
An exploration of the fear of water.
Jason and I are out on a winter-spring walk down by Sawmill Pond. There is an island in the middle of the pond with a willow tree that Rapunzels in the summer. Jason's dogs, big border collies, run across the ice; they have no problem making the island. The little island starts singing that siren song that all islands know. The song that wrecks ships, beaches whales, calls teenagers out on thin ice.
A cautionary tale about the pitfalls of moving too fast into a relationship.
When I was a young girl I fashioned my future upon my Malibu Barbie and her aqua marine Karmann Ghia with personalized license plates. So when my dad gave me the keys to a seventeen-year-old 1963 Ford Valiant station wagon painted the odd shade of lox, I hyperventilated.
A chronicle of a best friend's descent into alcoholism.
But now, these later years, John preferred the drink in his hand, the reassuring sweat of the glass, to the less assuring glisten of human skin. Ruby didn't know when it was that John lost his confidence. She didn't know if the sweet, bitter vodka, tequila, gin, rum, absinthe, beer, wine, somebody give me a drink, gave him all the confidence he ever had, or took it all away.
The Little Beast
A tough story about what it takes to leave an abusive marriage.
In the first summer after the divorce, Shawn and Lara don't know how to end the marriage. They talk on the phone in the dark hours. They go for a walk in the birch trees by White's Creek. Lovers carved their declarations into various trunks so many years ago the carvings look like old tattoos, impossible to read. A bleeding heart, a date, maybe 1917, maybe not. The little round birch leaves make that quiet leafy sound when the wind moves through. They have walked this path many times.
"Shawn," Lara says, "If neither of us remarry, let's be buried side by side." Shawn knows she serious; she likes graveyards. "That seems a long time to wait to lie down next to you," Shawn softly replies in the birdsong grove.
The confusion of leaving childhood.
How could Molly defend herself? How could she explain that she was 14 years old and didn't know what to do with her breasts, with her bloody underpants, that she still wanted to be a little girl on a rusty bike, that she did not want to choose the morality of Iowa or the jangle of California, or the hippie invasion of Lake Tahoe. How could she explain that sitting in the graveyard by the warm stones, with the tiger lilies, felt closer to God than the teak pews at Good Saint Wenceslaus. That the holy water was smudgy from all the fingers dipped into it while the creek behind the graveyard was cold and clear.
Alabaster Circle
A young white woman from 1910's Wisconsin falls in love with a one-legged Mexican cowboy.
The oldest was a boy called One, which I was told to call John. The next was a girl named One-Nita, which I took to mean "first girl" and she I called Nita. The third child was Hey-Zeus, which sounded Greek, and I was told to call him Jesus, which I would not. George suggested Joe, but it came out Ho and it's hard enough being Mexican without a Chinese name, so we settled on Sam. The baby girl had the name Nina, which means Baby Girl and we called her Nina.
A Small, Too Familiar Gesture
We follow a high school love triangle into adulthood.
How to explain what American Flats looks like? Imagine a young woman in about 1995. She's got tats, full on, both sleeves done in Vargas girls and vortex color swirls. A Chinese cherry blossom twining her spine, twisting round her exposed belly, jeans down low. Beautiful in structure, but she's at that point in her addictions where you can tell that it's too late for her; she's not going to make it back. She makes you feel so poignant that you want a piece of her, you want to tattoo the inside of her wrist, do a fashion shoot, buy her a drink, hasten the destruction. That's the feeling of American Flats.
Finding a path to God through a circuitous route with the help of a monkey, a gorilla and a dog.
Pac's a crack dog, always got to move move move. He's a Beagle with the seedy underbelly of a self-centered Terrier. I found him hitchhiking on the side of the I-10 in Louisiana, so he's got a Southern drawl, which is bad enough on a human. Imagine his howl!

Sanskrit Names of Plants in the Kāśyapīyakrsisūkti
The paper presents an exhaustive list of plant names in the Kāśyapīyakrsisūkti, the most important Sanskrit treatise on agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry dated from the early medieval period. The Sanskrit names are given with full reference to the verses where they appear and together with the up-to-date botanical terms and occasionally with the current English names.
Ratnaśāstra in Kauṭilya's Arthaśāstra (KA)
KA II, 11, 28–41 is the earliest extant Sanskrit text on ratnaśāstra 'gemmology'. It is a branch of traditional science and it reflects a great deal of experimental knowledge of jewellers. The present paper analyses the structure of the established text, seeks for an answer why the passages concerning diamond follow the list of the precious stones proper and why emerald is missing. The readings offered by the manuscripts and commentaries have been rechecked and the Kangle's text has been revised at places. The revised portions of the text have been retranslated and accompanied with the necessary notes. From our investigations it has become clear that the extant text is very loosely edited and highly problematic; the text presents a mixture of vārttāśāstra (textbook of economy) and ratnaśāstra ; there are terminological inconsistencies; it seems that gemmology had existed before the edition of the KA and the place of birth of this science was South India.
What Can the Ŗgveda Tell Us on Agriculture?
The study fills the gaps in the lingustical database bearing on agriculture in the age of the Ŗgveda. Several corrections of existing standpoints have been made concerning purely philological issues as well as the semantical field of certain agricultural terms. The unbiassed reassessment of etymology of some terms reveals that beside the terms of Indo-European origin there are terms from extinct languages while the number of items of Dravidian origin is meagre and the Austro-Asiatic influence can be excluded. Language contacts with the Bactria-Margiana Complex (BMAC) must be taken into consideration. The all-around analysis of lingustic data and archaeological evidence together with the observations of historical ethnography allows us to form a more balanced view of economic conditions: although pastoralism played a dominant part in the life of Indo-Aryan speakers in the Panjab in the second half of the second millennium B.C., agriculture including wheat production gained also an established position in the region. Both the negligence and the overestimation of agriculture in this system are erroneous viewpoints.
New light on the verse 112 of the Kṛṣiparāśara
https://doi.org/10.1556/aorient.54.2001.2-3.1
The description of the plough in the Kṛṣiparāśara has been a puzzle for generations of Sanskrit philologists. What especially pained me was the disfunctional character of this description: among the eight essential parts the ploughshare was missing. The turning up of an until now unknown manuscript from The Library of Congress has brought a basic change: it contains the expected reading phālikā "ploughshare" for pāśikā an otherwise meaningful term "rope" that could have been adjusted to the context only by rather strained explanations.The present paper throws light on the problems concerned in the textual tradition and offers a solution.
Contributions to the cultural history of emerald in early India
The present paper offers a complete inventory of authoritative passages in Sanskrit and Prakrit texts on gemmology and Sanskrit lexicons where emerald is dealt with. Fresh light is thrown on the hotly debated issue whether the description of beryl in the Arthaśāstra II, 11, 30 contains an indirect reference to emerald. The Sanskrit names of emerald are analysed and commented on. Texts revealing the history of emerald and its origin are put to the test, and the evident mistakes prevalent in the special literature are corrected. Finally, a peculiar belief on the magic power of emerald is analysed within a wider context.
Review of "Klaus Mylius 2020. Vergleichende Grammatik der literarischen Prākṛt-Sprachen"
https://doi.org/10.1556/062.2021.00020


I always thought I'd be a teacher, but really deep down I never knew... I had way too many interests growing up. I get bored pretty easily by nature and I like adventure, so I knew whatever career I'd choose, it would be a journey. When I entered college I struggled finding a major because every degree plan I was presented with just didn't seem me. My advisor finally told me I'd best be fit for a Generic studies degree because I could choose my own courses. Bingo! So I chose Anthropology, Psychology and Business as my focuses since I knew I liked people, I liked to observe people and I would always be in business with people. It was a blast, I truly got to know myself and what excited me, Except for when I graduated it seemed I only knew what I really liked but still not a clue as to my profession.
I studied abroad in Spain my Senior year (which had given me the travel bug), and one thing I learned about myself there was when I was traveling, I was thinking and planning and creating and becoming inspired to do something to take action, to learn, to prepare, to organize just to name a few. If ever in a rut in life I knew that by traveling, I would have clear answers afterwards. I worked for one year after my college graduation until the road called my name. I knew that travel was something I had to do in order to find my direction, and it had to be done alone. In short, I had some soul searching to do.
There are so many things I want to say that are untold I feel like I could explode! We had a guest stay with us months back who really had an impact on me. The way she asked questions and urged me to explain how I became an innkeeper allowed me spill my story out with no hesitation ( and quite a lot of zeal), I had never expained it so beautifully! When she left, she told me that I needed to start writing and that she believed this is how people would come to relate to our B&B and to what it is like being an innkeeper. That this was my contribution and duty to help inspire others to live the way they want to live. She explained her job in live was to be an advocate for people and to inspire them. She certainly inspired me. They were gone like the wind, but I think about her every day.
Table Talk is the soul of a Bed and Breakfast experience. Without it, it just simply isn't the same. Of course, it's a vanishing thought and a flicker in the wind compared to our now fast paced digital world, but I feel it is being revived. I remember when my friends and I would spend hours over breakfast chatting about the latest news and travel and relationships (the list goes on). With our feet propped up on the chairs, we would dive into our second coffee press and swim around in our sea of migas as we conjured ideas, dreams and futures. Today, I look back at these memories and I am finding they were crucial in helping me develop a sense of who I am today. This close community of neighbors, friends and roommates whom I shared many of table talk sessions are the very reason I am an innkeeper today.
I am sure many of you are wondering, what is Oktoberfest really? Besides the fest in Germany which holds games, serves traditional foods and boasts traditional clothes, BEER is really what most people think about! But it is certainly not just about Beer, it is about tradition, seasons and community and since Munzesheimer is highly in favor of all those things, we had to figure out a way to get involved.
