Financial aid includes grants, loans, scholarships and work study. Almost everyone is eligible for some form of financial aid. It's a good idea to understand financial aid no matter what your financial situation, because you never know when your situation might change.
These 10 steps apply no matter where you decide to go to college. We'll provide more detail about each of these steps later in the unit. Because deadlines are so important, make a calendar of all the important dates and use it!
Create a scholarship portfolio and apply for scholarships – Start gathering information about scholarships long before you'll apply for them to get a head start on the scholarship process. Beginning up to a year before you plan to enroll, begin applying for scholarships. Check out our scholarship listing.
Apply to schools – Beginning up to a year before you plan to enroll, begin applying to colleges. Visit collegeincolorado.org for easy access to college applications.
Check financial aid deadlines – for the college/university you'd like to attend. Missing financial aid deadlines can cost you thousands of dollars. The financial aid deadlines for most Colorado colleges are included in the Education Cents calendar.
File the FAFSA – with the Department of Education as soon after January 1 as possible, to be eligible to receive financial aid in the next school year (for example, high school seniors planning to go to college immediately after high school should complete the FAFSA soon after January 1 of their senior year).
File the CSS Profile – if it is required by your school. In Colorado, the CSS profile is required by Colorado College, University of Denver and the Daniels Fund Scholarship.
Review your Student Aid Report (SAR) – from the Department of Education. This shows the "results" of your FAFSA and will tell you your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which helps colleges determine how much financial aid you are eligible to receive. You'll learn more about this later in this unit.
Review and compare award letters – from colleges and universities. This will tell you how much aid the college is able to give you. Some colleges will ask that the award letter be returned with your acceptance or rejection of the financial aid they have offered by a certain deadline. Remember, you can accept some of the aid and reject other parts. For example, you might decide to accept a grant but reject a student loan that you don't need. Each school is different so read each award letter carefully.
Accept – Decide which school to attend and notify your school. Yeah! This is the exciting part! Most all colleges require you to pay any remaining tuition and fees costs after financial aid has been subtracted and before classes begin for the term. Decide how you will pay the difference as soon as you decide what school you are attending. Contact the college's business office if you have questions about payment before you plan to begin classes.
Meet with the financial aid office – at your college or university to make sure that you understand your award package and how much you may have to pay to attend after receiving financial aid. You'll also have a chance to discuss any special circumstances you may have.
Remember to re-file your FAFSA – each year between January 1 and March 1 as well as the CSS Profile if your college or university requires it.

Banger racing. It's the past, and the future, and the most entertaining form of motorsport I've watched in a very long time. I had intended to watch the Russian Grand Prix highlights but after some selfish oaf spoiled the result for me I drove over to Kings Lynn on a whim and caught a couple of hours of riotous racing. It was my first time and I had a blast. There were three main events; Microstocks, The battle of the sexes and a Reliant Robin event. Here's what happened, and here's why you should join the crowd;
Councils hate this sort of place. They're noisy, mucky and dangerous. As venues go, though, I'm told that the Adrian Flux Arena of King's Lynn is a good one. It costs £18 for an adult ticket (I paid, no press ticket blaggery here), a couple of quid for a beer, and an extra pound if you'd like to sit in the grandstand. This, it turned out, was spectacular value for money. I prefer my beer with lumps of mud and the occasional fragment of hatchback in it, and so sat down the front.
The first race was for ministocks. These appear to be small-engined modern cars and after two heats there was a free-for-all for those who hadn't made the final. Many of these pictures are of the cars before they reached the grid. Not one looked even remotely straight but with a mandatory rollcage, secured battery and fuel tank, glass removed, and common sense tucked safely away in the glovebox, the race began.
It seems that unless the Marshalls are hosing bits of body out of a fiery Micra then there's no need for any flags. I knew it was going to be entertaining when a Ford Ka got utterly wrecked and the St John's Ambulance man didn't even look up from his hotdog. That's not to say it's lethally dangerous, drivers clearly all know each other and their shouts seemed to indicate they all knew most of the crowd, too. Cars that had what looked like crippled suspension in the paddock were made to scoot round here surprisingly sideways, check the oversteering Micra above, for example. Great skill, and great entertainment. Especially when it finished on it's lid.
Who won? I think the blue car painted 'Bruno' did, but I couldn't be sure. Shortly before the end some of the remaining racers decided to drive anti-clockwise for the hell of it. Carnage. Following the race tractors simultaneously shoved and pulled a number of wrecks off to the paddock. I took a morbid fascination in seeing how these cars had crumpled. Check the Ka below. The driver, next to it, seems unperturbed but banger racers are a wild bunch. I would have been crying for my Mum after such an impact.
Following this chaos there was a junior event which was, as car 728 below says; Reem! Juniors must wear a HANS device and the flags come out a bit quicker, but otherwise there's little to distinguish their racing from the adults.
I imagine a man in the future, on a psychiatrists couch, being encouraged to explain where and when he first had psychotic tendencies. At junior banger racing in Norfolk, Doc. The kids went at it hell for leather, some ignoring the flags and getting bollocked by marshalls, before repeating the offence not two turns later to encouragement from the friendly crowd. Then, came the 'Battle of the sexes', with the grid looking like this;
Blue cars and pink cars lined up. Rovers, Escorts and god-know-what-it-once-was models. Men versus women. The commentator indulged himself with some mild sexism, the flag dropped and all hell let loose. The women's team won by a narrow margin.
Then things got really silly. This is not the finish, it's the starting grid;
A Reliant Robin race. The 'fools and horses' theme played. The cars all looked utterly shagged before they even lined up. Some (see car 406) were fashioned into a coupe shape by chopping the C pillar out and folding the roof panel down against the boot. It looks like a less-repulsive BMW X6 to my eyes which, admittedly, were now full of shale, mud and tears of laughter. The organiser helpfully watered the track to keep the dust (and traction levels) down and off they went. Click the pics below to enlarge.
Everyone piled into the first corner like a thousand Maldonados. Crashes were not avoided, but seemingly desired, drivers seemed drawn like moths to a flame, steaming into wrecks. Drivers of immobilised cars sat there with dead eyes, like condemned men, waiting for the inevitable impact. BOOM!
Whole panels of fibreglass were shattered, parts shed, fluids pissed out and yet not one driver backed off for a second. One car drove two laps without one of it's three wheels and still managed to keep to the racing line! On many Reliants you'll see that the front wheel was canted over, allowing a greater contact patch when steering round the slightly banked ends. It also seemed to make them crash nose-over-end quite easily, like a sprinter falling over his own shoelaces. I could have watched this until nightfall but after a while seemly few cars were left. I went for a nosey in the paddock.
Cars are bent, hammered, stretched and riveted back into roughly car-like shapes to be raced another day. This is the ultimate in recycling, some components such as cages and fuel tanks being transplanted onto their third or fourth car, others cars cannibalised for spares. There were some ingenious little touches like the extra rubber mounted on the exposed front wheel rim of a Reliant to protect it, and bonnet panels to deflect the lumps off the cack off the track from flying into the driver's face. Happy lads and Dads in mucky overalls repaired and rebuilt with improvisation, great skills and teamwork. This should be encouraged, Mr Council NoiseAbatementMan.
These cars are the past. They're scrap. Yet to eke out a few more laps in this environment seems such a good idea. Junior Duisberg was hooked and there were plenty of racers, male and female, to encourage kids into this sport either behind the wheel or in the paddock. As F1 slowly vanishes up it's own very expensive arse it's a good time to seek out new motorsport thrills. This was the most entertaining racing I've watched in a long time and I thank everyone who made me and Junior so welcome. We will be back.
For a day's entertainment banger racing is not only the future, it's the most entertaining motorsport ever.

Massachusetts had the 5th highest median household income in the U.S. in 2017 and a higher median income than the average LTS. Massachusetts has seen growth in median household income in every year since 2012, and has recorded 10.8% median household income growth over the 2012-2017 period, during which the U.S. on average grew 9.9%, and the LTS 9.6%. While median household income in Massachusetts has historically grown faster than the U.S. or LTS on average, from 2016-2017 median household income growth was lowest in Massachusetts at 0.6% while the U.S. average grew 2.5% and the LTS grew 3.4%.
Massachusetts has proportionally many more households with incomes above $100,000 than both the LTS and U.S., and less households with incomes below $35,000. This could partly explain why incomes have recovered at a faster rate in Massachusetts than elsewhere, since over the last several decades higher level income households have seen larger gains in household income than the population as a whole. This is largely due to increasing returns to college education and Massachusetts having a high relative proportion of degree holders. As such, the state should see larger income gains than would be experienced elsewhere. New Jersey, another highly educated state, is the only state among the LTS to have a higher median household income than Massachusetts.


1.3 What parts of the plant are toxic?
1.4 Do tomatoes also contain solanine and tomatine?
The plant that produces tomatoes is a member of the Solanaceae family. Like other species of this family, the whole of it is poisonous, other than fruit, the tomatoes. So you can not eat the stems, leaves or stems of the fruit in order not to become intoxicated.
In fact, this plant from Mexico, began to be cultivated in Europe until the eighteenth century as an ornamental plant in gardens and not as food, because it was considered a toxic plant.
Tomato is toxic because it contains poisonous components. The principal is an alkaloid called solanine. Other components are toxic glycoalkaloid tomatine and some glycoproteins.
What parts of the plant are toxic?
The main parts of the plant that contain solanine, the main poison, are the stems, leaves and green fruits.
Do tomatoes also contain solanine and tomatine?
Tomatoes, when green, also contain these principles. As they mature, they lose them, so that, when ripe, the amount you have is too small to be considered toxic.
Since half-ripe tomatoes still contain much solanine, it is convenient to eat ripe tomatoes to make them more healthy and digestible. Furthermore, as they mature, their content in lycopene and other healthy components increase.
It is inappropriate to eat green tomatoes because they can cause intestinal problems. If fully green, they can even can cause similar poisoning to the rest of the plant. When they are not completely mature, they can cause indigestion.
Moreover, it is suspected that tomatine in tomato, especially when green, can trigger migraines.
The ingestion of the plant produces gastrointestinal, liver and heart damage which can lead to death, in case that the intake is very high.
Similar symptoms occur in animals, that have been fed on its shoots.
Symptoms of poisoning may sometimes be confused with those produced by bacterial gastroenteritis. Among the most common are vomiting, even bloody, diarrhea, increased heart rate with subsequent slowing of same, respiratory problems, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest and death.

Bjarke Ingels issues statement explaining meeting with Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro
Jan 23, '20 2:39 PM EST

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels has released a statement explaining his reasoning behind the decision to meet with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro last week.
In the statement, Ingels, founder and creative partner at the multi-national architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), explains that his decision to meet with Brazilian officials was aimed at avoiding "oversimplification of a complex world" while also pushing for "active engagement, not superficial clickbait or ignorance" in terms of the work the firm undertakes. The meeting with Bolsonaro, Ingels explains, came as part of a larger research mission undertaken with the sustainable tourism developer Nomade Group aimed at investigating the possibility of bringing green tourism initiatives to the northeast coast of Brazil.
Weapons, Bribes, And Dictators: Where Architects Draw The Line

Bjarke Ingels shouldn't be proud to have the Washington Redskins as a client, according to critic Philip Kennicott
Op-Ed: Sticks and Stones; Ai Weiwei and the Uses of Architecture
Critics and commentators on the internet were swift to condemn Ingels's potential involvement in Brazilian projects due to a long history of homophobic, anti-indigenous, and anti-environmental positions taken by the Brazilian president. In particular, Bolsonaro, who is sometimes referred to as the "Donald Trump of the Tropics," is a strong supporter of the agribusiness policies that caused a great deal of global uproar last year due to the increased burning of Amazon rain forest those policies support. Bolsonaro has also stripped indigenous people living throughout Brazil of their rights through various initiatives, holds views that are described as misogynistic and homophobic, and speaks fondly of other dictatorial leaders like Russia's Vladimir Putin.
Ingels is, of course, not the first world famous architect to come under fire for soliciting or undertaking work from nefarious dictators or for taking part in work that violates human rights.
Zaha Hadid and British architect Norman Foster have both received criticism for their work with Kazakhstan's dictator, Nursultan Nazarbayev, for example, while OMA and Herzog & DeMeuron have been accused of suffering from magical thinking with regards to potential social impacts the projects they designed in China in support of the 2008 Olympic Games might have had there.
Bjarke's statement
Many have asked what we are doing in Brazil.
My colleague and I have been on a fact-finding trip with Nomade Group to gather background information for a holistic masterplan for responsible tourism in socially and environmentally sustainable destinations in Northeast Brazil. Some may know the incredible, barefoot, light impact environments that Nomade is known for – a form of tourism that doesn't replace the forest or the sand but rather inhabits and preserves it. A much-needed alternative to the high-rises on the beach that often happens when international tourism arrives as it has in Cancun only hours north of Tulum.
We traveled the Northeast Coast of Brazil from Fortaleza to Atins, crossing three states, meeting mayors, governors and ministers across the entire political spectrum, and most importantly, amazing people from all walks of life. The observations and ideas we presented in our preliminary research to the ministries of Economy and Tourism impacted them so much that that they asked us to present our ideas directly to the president's office. How better to impact the future of the region and the country than to plant the ideas we believe in at the highest level of government? Neither the president nor the ministers are our clients, but we are happy to share our ideas and ideals with a government that is willing to listen.
Creating a list of countries or companies that BIG should shy away from working with seems to be an oversimplification of a complex world. Dividing everything into two categories is neither accurate nor reasonable. The way the world evolves isn't binary but rather gradual and on a vast array of aspects and nuances. If we want to positively impact the world, we need active engagement, not superficial clickbait or ignorance.
I believe we have a great responsibility that comes with the creative platform that we have created. We should use that platform to change the world for the better. We can't expect every public instance to be aligned with all aspects of our thinking, but we can make sure that we bring the change we want to see in the world, through the work we do. The ideas and ideals of the projects we propose bear their legitimacy. That means working in countries like Brazil (and the USA for that matter) despite the controversies that their elected leaders may generate. One of the core principles of democracy is the ability to coexist and collaborate despite political differences.
In my mind that is a way for us architects to have ethical impact. To engage actively to create the future that we want, by proposing our ideas to people, governments and businesses even if they have different points of view than we do. We have to engage and embrace our differences if we want to dare to imagine a different future.

so he did a photo-op with a far right leader, without any commitment to do [insert eco jargon here] project. Desperation much?
i agree that you could challenge ideas outside your "bubble" but BIG projects are just ego-driven monstrosities and dubious eco-fi. Brazil has its own architecture culture to draw from, why does it need PewDiPie to drop in
Jan 23, 20 4:35 pm	·
This whole thing is so gross. And I *really like* BIG's work. But gross.
ubu loca
BiG embarrassment. But keep in mind he just lost WTC job and needs work. (Not sure about the Zaha statistic, though. Might check that number, or clarify when those deaths occurred. She won a lawsuit over that claim.)
I like this comment, ubu loca. It's both funny and generous.
Antonio Pacheco
Thanks for pointing out the error, we have removed the language from the story and issued a correction.
will galloway
it is sad that zaha is still being tarnished with that same old brush. She could be called out for other stuff maybe, but that case turned out to be bullshit top to bottom. That is the click-bait attitude that Bjarke correctly points to. I agree it is creepy that Bjarke is with the president of Brazil in a photo. It would be off brand for him to be seen chilling with Trump too, and feels about the same as Kanye leaning so much into President Trump. Honestly it looks like Bjarke walked into something not thinking anyone would care and is not able to say he made an error. Or maybe he just wanted to do that eco-whatever project and this was the toll required...either way BIG would be crazy to say anything other than they did. Doesnt mean the profession shouldnt bring it up. Would be cool if it wasnt so black and white though. Why add to the pile of "join my group or fuck off" culture that the internet loves so much?
sameolddoctor
BIGs work is all focused on Hype and being different (also called BS). Im not surprised he is hanging out with Bolysnaro. In the end hes proved himself to be a commercial architect (like a lot of us...)

It's literally unthinkable for Bjarke to decouple photoshoots and PR from the work itself...its almost as if, for him, the publicity and fame is THE work. Architecture is just secondary

Some internet activists that never set foot in Brazil believe they can feel better intimidating a genius like BI, then get a white glove slap across.
Just don't even try to pontificate, and crawl back in your shell.

Disappointed. Was hoping Bjarke issued a fatwa.

I have mixed feelings about boxing as a sport – it can teach self-discipline, focus the energies of the young, enhance physical fitness, but there can be a brutality about it that is unnerving.
Katie (RTÉ1, Tuesday) was an impressive documentary from Ross Whitaker that followed the career of Irish boxer Katie Taylor. It was full of emotion and tension, as much as any fictional drama, and had at its centre a unique, driven, trailblazing, dignified, very human and very likeable sportswoman.
Katie's ambition was to win Olympic gold in her sport when that sport wasn't even an Olympic sport at all. She was described a being "born to box", "obsessed with winning" and wondered herself in a reflective moment if she wasn't "too single-minded".
I couldn't remember the results of many of her fights so I appreciated the skilful creation of tension as we awaited the verdicts of various bouts.
The emotion largely came from the joy of winning, but also from the sadness of the rift with her father and trainer Pete. He had been at the centre of her personal and boxing life, and the break was hugely hurtful and seems to have led to the loss of direction that sank her hopes of a second Olympic gold medal, though at the end there were the beginnings of reconciliation.
Katie's well-known commitment to her religious faith did figure in the film but not to a great degree. We saw her praying with mother, and going to church in Vernon, US, when she was training. On the back of one of her sweatshirts was the text of psalm 18: "He trains my hands for battle." The psalmist may not have had women's boxing in mind! The mother's prayer for "supernatural strength"and "accurate punches" was unusual to say the least.
We could have done without the frequent swearing from some in her team, especially when lots of young people will be drawn to this story, but I was made more uneasy by the boxing violence. This was especially the case with the pro fights where was no headgear and too much blood for my liking.
Also on RTÉ (Radio 1), last Friday, on The Leap of Faith Michael Comyn had a timely item about religious persecution – Comyn referenced studies which showed that there were high levels of persecution of Christians in 73 countries of the 150 surveyed.
The focus was on increased repression of religious expression in China, even though by 2030 China will have more Christians than any other country. David Turner of Church in Chains outlined how new regulations were being enforced harshly, with Church closures, arrest of pastors, re-writing of the Bible, Christian churches being asked to have pictures of Mao beside the cross and church choirs asked to sing patriotic songs.
Dr Tim Grose of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, US highlighted the parallel persecution of Muslims in China, with normal Muslim worship being classed as extremism and the introduction of 're-education' centres, with almost all avenues of Muslim religious expression being closed off.
Meanwhile the annual March for Life in Washington received comprehensive live coverage on EWTN for most of last Friday. The introduction highlighted the instructive slogan for this year – 'Unique from Day One – Pro-Life is Pro-Science'. There were so many impressive interviews, and the presence of so many young people and women defied mainstream media stereotypes.
The attitude of these media to the event was also instructive.
I had to do quite a bit of searching to find anything on CNN on Saturday. I couldn't find it at all on BBC's World News coverage but they did give prominence to a story headlined 'World's Cutest Dog Dies of Heartbreak'. I couldn't find a trace of any coverage from RTÉ News, but then it all changed when by Sunday a controversy arose that appeared to show the March in a bad light.
A viral video was broadcast that seemed to show a young marcher from a Catholic high school being disrespectful to a Native American. Liberals went into outrage mode, conservatives rushed to apologise, but then fuller video versions of the event surfaced on social media that threw a rather different light on what happened.
CNN and BBC made some effort to rebalance by Monday morning last, but I couldn't find any trace of RTÉ doing the same.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - St. Louis Blues forward David Perron missed the last 72 games of the season because of post-concussion symptoms and says he's still restricted from exercise.
Perron was hurt on a check by San Jose's Joe Thornton on Nov. 4, but seemed to recover quickly with a goal later in the game.
In late February, Perron was optimistic he'd be back before the end of the season, but after the Blues finished with a 2-0 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night he said his symptoms have not subsided.
Perron finished with five goals and two assists in 10 games. He declined to describe the symptoms but said he's still experiencing problems.


Writing a bad check or writing checks on someone else's account are serious crimes under Illinois law. Such cases are aggressively prosecuted, with harsh criminal penalties. A theft conviction can also seriously hamper your future employment options.
If you are accused of check fraud or other deceptive practices, call the Wheaton law firm of Martin & Kent, L.L.C., today to arrange a free, confidential consultation. Our proven attorneys can assert your rights and defenses to respond to the charges and ensure you are treated fairly in the criminal justice system. Call us today at (630) 474-8000.
A first offense of check fraud or theft by bad check is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by jail time, fines and other penalties. However, a deceptive practice rises to a Class 4 felony for repeat offenses or when the amount of fraudulent checks (single or collectively) exceeds $150. A Class 4 crime is subject to a prison sentence as well as a felony record.
In addition to the criminal penalties, you may be subject to civil liability for the fraudulent amount plus triple damages, up to a maximum of $1,500.
If you are facing allegations of check fraud and have read up to here, you are likely concerned about your future. As the above information makes clear, check fraud is a serious crime in Illinois and one that can result in severe criminal consequences, including jail.
As a person accused of a check fraud, it is important to understand just how the stakes are. If you are convicted, you could be subjected to collateral consequences that could potentially affect you for the rest of your life. The term collateral consequences refers to the consequences of a crime that are NOT imposed by a court.
Issues related to professional licensing – Many professional licensing authorities like the Illinois State Bar Association, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation view crimes of dishonesty (which includes fraud) as particularly negative when it comes to deciding whether to issue a license. As a result, a check fraud conviction could very well have an impact on your ability to keep or get a professional license. Professions that requiring state licensure include law, medicine, real estate, accounting, athlete representation, land surveying, payday lending, and many more.
Problems keeping or getting a job – Even if you are not in a regulated profession, a check fraud conviction has the potential to have a significant impact on your life. Most employers now make a criminal background check part of the hiring process, and a check fraud conviction could seriously hurt your chances of getting hired. In some cases, it may disqualify you from consideration entirely. In addition, a conviction does not only affect job seekers. Even if you already have a job, your employer is well within his or her rights to let you go if you are convicted of check fraud or any other crime. In fact, you can lose your job even for being accused of a crime, so it is important to speak to an attorney as soon as you realize that you may be under investigation.
Academic consequences – Most colleges and universities have codes of conduct that prohibit their students from engaging in illegal activity—and check fraud is no exception. As a result, your school could impose significant sanctions on you if you are convicted of check fraud, including probation, suspension, or even expulsion. You could also lose your scholarship any other financial aid that you are receiving. Finally, as many schools ask applicants about their criminal history during the admission process, a check fraud conviction could have an impact on where or whether you can pursue your education in the future.
The statute defines knowingly and unauthorized use. Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to get the charges dropped if there is evidence of an honest accounting error, permission to use the account or other innocent explanation. Sometimes we can negotiate restitution in lieu of criminal charges or convince the prosecutor to reduce the charges to a lesser offense.
If the prosecution goes forward, we will make every effort to avoid a felony conviction or minimize the penalties. Our lawyers are former prosecutors with more than 40 years of combined experience in criminal trials.
Check fraud charges are serious and a conviction will follow you for years. Contact to schedule a free consultation. We practice in the courts of DuPage County, Kane County, and Cook County. Call us at (630) 474-8000.

Ben Affleck is on the move!
The 45-year-old actor was photographed house hunting in Santa Monica on Tuesday, with the help of his girlfriend, Lindsay Shookus.
Affleck, who visited an 8-bedroom, 10-bathroom home listed for $18.5 million, looked casual in a black T-shirt and purple pants. Shookus, meanwhile, beat the heat in a sheer black top and ripped black jeans.
A source told ET last week that Affleck, who recently took in a stray husky, is continuing to "work on himself."
"He's happy," the source said. "Ben is focused on staying healthy. And he's enjoying his time with Lindsay."
The couple first went public with their relationship in July, two months after Affleck and Jennifer Garner officially filed for divorce. Affleck and Shookus have since been spotted on many date nights in Los Angeles and New York, with the Oscar winner accompanying his girlfriend to the Emmys last month.

A Bad News, Good News Report about Antisemitism in the US
Lela Gilbert
For most Jerusalem Post readers, it comes as no surprise to hear that a surging tide of antisemitism is sweeping across Europe. Acts of vandalism, violence and persecution of Jews are pervasive in many European states. This is so, despite differing national histories, particularly with regard to 20th-century Nazism and the Holocaust.
Meanwhile in the US, on October 27, the deadliest synagogue attack in America's history took place in Pittsburgh, when 11 Jews were killed at the hand of a white supremacist. That terrorist attack was followed by a similar shooting six months later near San Diego in which one person was killed.
Jews across America have described the sense of foreboding they've felt following those shootings. Meanwhile, several violent attacks against religiously attired New York Jews have marred the sense of safety many Jewish Americans have long enjoyed.
This has raised a serious and disturbing question: Is America experiencing Europe's growing antisemitism?
In response to that question, the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom presented a groundbreaking conference on June 4, hosted by the center's director, Nina Shea.
The conference featured antisemitism experts, each bringing a unique perspective on Europe's present state of affairs. Unfortunately, there was little good news about Europe.
Mitchell Silber, former director of intelligence analysis at the New York City Police Department, continues to be actively involved in projects to better protect Europe's Jewish communities.
Silber pointed out a shocking reality: Jews living in today's Britain have become Europe's No.1 security risk. This situation has happened, in no small part, because of the toxic policies of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has "infected Labour with radicalism."
Meanwhile, in 2018, 1,600 attacks on Jews took place in Britain.
The US State Department's special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, Elan Carr, contradicted the rather deceptive idea that there is a "new" antisemitism in today's world. "It's just the same old thing," he said.
Ancient accusations against Jews, such as the infamous "blood libel," are newly packaged in such twisted guises as "Israelis are child murderers" and "Jews have infected Palestinian children with the AIDS virus."
In short, there's nothing new about today's antisemitism. Furthermore, antisemitism and anti-Zionism are the same evil.
Marc Weitzmann, the best-selling author of Hate: The Rising Tide of Anti-Semitism in France (and What It Means for Us), traced the beginnings of today's virulent strain of French antisemitism to the 1990s, when dozens of Algerian terrorists relocated to France and began to multiply their ranks exponentially.
After 2000, an ever-swelling increase in violence was climaxed on November 13, 2015, at the Bataclan concert hall massacre. Ninety victims were shot dead, with an additional 40 more murdered in suicide bombings and during coordinated shootings in cafes and restaurants; more than 400 were wounded. Islamic State claimed responsibility.
The attackers believed that the Bataclan theater was owned by Jews. In actual fact, it had been sold by its Jewish owners just a couple of months before the grisly attack.
Simone Rodan-Benzaquen, director of the American Jewish Committee offices in Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Rome and Central Europe, explained that the three roots of antisemitism in Europe are the far Right (including white supremacism), the far Left (embodied by Britain's Corbyn) and, of course, radicalized Muslims.
Rodan-Benzaquen and the other conference speakers left no doubt that Europe's Jews face a grim future. Despite some serious efforts being made by government leadership, unpredictable mobs and lone-wolf violence are difficult to police. And changing the course of public opinion seems like an impossible dream.
So, is there any good news from America? Or is the US just moving a little more slowly along the same track as Europe?
In fact, the Hudson Institute's conference offered an encouraging and somewhat surprising report, emanating from a McLaughlin and Associates poll of a thousand randomly selected, registered American voters. Complete poll results can be viewed on the Hudson Institute website at Hudson.org.
Just a few examples (Selected responses may not add up to 100%):
To begin with, the majority of polled US voters understand what antisemitism means. In verbatim answers to the question, "How would you describe antisemitism?" 44% of responders said, "Hate against Jews;" 9% said that it is bad or negative, and 9% said, "hate," "bigotry" or "Nazi;" 2% said "Hate against Israel;" 34% said they didn't know.
When asked "What is your opinion about Israel?" 51% of those queried had a positive view of Israel; only 21% had a negative view (the others reported "no opinion").
Another question about Israel asked, "Would you say the United States government supports Israel too often, about right or too little?" 55% said "about right" or "too little;" 21% said "too often." The rest didn't know.
In answer to the question, "Are you Islamophobic if you criticize Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for her views on Israel?" 63% said no, 14% said yes and 23% didn't know.
And there was a significant response to an important historical question: "Do you believe it is true that in the Holocaust, the Nazi regime targeted and exterminated six million European Jews?" 80% said yes, just 8% said no; and 12% didn't know.
There was also a strong reply to the question: "Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has made many antisemitic statements over many years, including 'Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit' and 'Hitler was a very great man.' Should politicians be denounced for appearing with Louis Farrakhan at campaign events?" In response to this, 67% said yes, they should be denounced; only 14% said no; and the rest didn't know.
In summary, the bad news about Europe is that antisemitism is surging, and its danger is palpable. More and more Jews are considering relocation to Israel or elsewhere.
The good news is that Americans are far less antisemitic than their European cousins. A majority of the poll's responders are paying close attention to the political issues America faces today, including those regarding antisemitism and Israel.
And before long, they will have their say in another poll: the 2020 presidential election.

Two enduring mysteries of plant physiology are the function of nighttime transpiration and the nature of the mechanism that allows removal of air bubbles (embolisms) from a plant's hydraulic system while the system is functioning under negative pressure. Nighttime transpiration is particularly common in plants from dry environments, which would appear to be least able to afford wasteful water loss. Refilling of air-filled conduits while the remaining hydraulic system is under negative pressure has been thought to be physically impossible, yet is commonly observed. In our lab, 10 out of 20 shrub species studied at field sites across the North American continent showed embolism repair under tension. All of these 10 species were from dry environments, and embolism repair occurred while stomata were at least partially open. Using the North American desert shrub Encelia farinosa (Asteraceae) as a focal study species, we found that experimental inhibition of nighttime transpiration by bagging of leaves inhibited embolism repair. Measurements of air flow into artificially created embolisms in the wood revealed that air from these embolisms dissolved into the transpiration stream of functioning conduits. Nighttime transpiration appears to be required to move air-saturated sap towards the leaves before temperatures increase again during the next morning, which would cause gas solubility to decrease and air to come out of solution. Nighttime transpiration, an important flux in the water balance of many ecosystems, is explained at least in part as playing a vital role in the nocturnal recovery from drought-stress experienced during the day.

Le créole jamaïcain (ou jamaïquain), couramment appelé patwa (patois) par ses locuteurs, est un créole à base lexicale anglaise. Elle est issue d'un mélange entre l'anglais et de plusieurs langues africaines (notamment de l'Akan), parlée en Jamaïque et par la diaspora jamaïcaine. C'est la langue natale parlée par la grande majorité des habitants de cette île.

Elle ne doit pas être confondue ni avec l'anglais jamaïcain et ni avec le patois rasta.

However, the FDA reports that inside US, there isn't any known arrest of anyone caught buying a prescription drug from a web based Canadian pharmacy without a prescription for personal use. This listing is ranked by those which might be the greatest risk to people, as they not only send out spam, but other harmful Internet threats such as malware, botnets, and pharming scams. The big databases give you different questions almost every other time you undertake the sample pharmacy technician exam.
Limited awareness and lack of oversight among doctors, pharmacists and the patients could also contribute on the problem. If a pharmacist has a problem with providing a client with any medication that is specifically prescribed with a Doctor or in general deemed safe for that general public with the FDA, chances are they are within the wrong field. You can earn continuing education credits online by a certified college, program or provider.
You should also enter your individual details and payment details. As with any career, salary is vital and pharmacist isn't exception. Such drugs online often have licensed pharmacists and doctors for consultation.
There are two ways for being a pharmacist technician, getting certified or registered through your state. The above image shows that a secure protocol ( will be used with the fraudster. If possible try to use the same pharmacy as much as possible.
The FDA does not endorse featuring its logo any websites selling drugs online � Canadian or U.

Ethel Charlotte Chase Hatchová (nepřechýleně Ethel Hatch; 17. května 1869 – 3. dubna 1975) byla britská umělkyně známá svými květinovými scénami a vztahem s Charlesem Lutwidge Dodgsonem, obecněji známým jako Lewis Carroll. Byla součástí společnosti, která patřila k britské vyšší třídě; byla dcerou reverenda Edwina Hatche, stejně jako její sestry Beatrice Sheward Hatchová a Evelyn Maud Hatchová.

Životopis
Ethel Charlotte Chase Hatchová se narodila jako nejmladší dcera Evelyn a Edwina Hatche. Ethel měla dvě sestry, Beatrice a Evelyn Maud, přičemž druhá byla pravděpodobně pojmenována po její matce. Měla také bratra jménem Arthur Herbert Hatch (* 1864), který byl prefektem své školy na Malvern College. Rodina žila v domě v gotickém stylu postaveném v roce 1867 na Banbury Road v Norham Gardens v severním Oxfordu v Anglii. Dům byl popsán jako dům s "klenutými okny a věží doplněnou sochou ve výklenku." Mezi přátele sousedství byli Julia a Ethel Huxleyovi, dcery Thomase Henryho Huxleye a tety Aldy Huxleye. Mezi další známé z okolí, kteří rodinu Hatchových navštěvovali, patřili Bonamy Price, Mark Pattison a Benjamin Jowett.

Její otec Edwin byl teolog; spisovatel; zástupce ředitele St. Mary Hall v Oxfordu; a později univerzitní učitel – reader církevních dějin. Rodina Hatchových se přesunula do "stimulujících kruhů", včetně přátelství s Edwardem Burne-Jonesem, Algernonem Charlesem Swinburnem a Williamem Morrisem.

Ethel navštěvovala Oxford High School, Oxford v Oxfordshire, soukromou dívčí školu. Promovala v sedmnácti letech, než odešla s matkou na tři měsíce na dovolenou do St Leonards-on-Sea. Když byla na dovolené, její matka pokračovala ve vyučovacích lekcích, aby dceři rozšířila vzdělání.

Vztah s Dodgsonem

Ethel byla spolu se svými sestrami představena Dodgsonovi prostřednictvím společných známých. Dodgson pěstoval "přátelství s mnoha malými dívkami" a často je fotografoval. Dodgsonova přátelství s těmito dětmi se zaměřila na rodiny vyšší střední třídy a ujišťoval, že "nehledal své přátele mezi dětmi z velmi nízké třídy". Rodina Ethelových pocházela z vyšší střední třídy a následně se spřátelila s Dodgsonem.

Ethelina matka dala Dodgsonovi svolení k fotografování svých tří dívek, Dodgson byl považován za rodinného přítele. Beatrice byla spíše než Ethel nebo Evelyn považována za "Dodgsonovu dlouhodobě oblíbenou". Dodgsonovo přátelství s Ethel však trvalo řadu let.

Spolu s oblečenými fotkami Dodgson také fotografoval Ethel nahou. Byla považována za jednu z Dodgsonových múz. Fotografie, které Dodgson pořídil se svlečenými předpubertálními dívkami, byly v současné době příčinou mnoha diskusí a spekulací.

Umění
Dodgson se pokusil zařídit, aby Ethel mohla studovat u sira Huberta von Herkomera, britského malíře německého původu. Tento plán se však neuskutečnil a Ethel odešla studovat na Slade School of Art v Londýně v Anglii. Zatímco tam byla, zaměřila se na malbu zahraničních scén a květinové aranžmá. Na Slade studovala Ethel u Henryho Tonkse, Philipa Wilsona Steera a Fredericka Browna. Ethel měla Brownovu figurální malířskou třídu 1896–1897, kde za svoji práci získala další certifikát.

Ethel pracovala převážně s akvarely a její obrazy se objevovaly v galeriích. Christie's, obchod s uměním a aukční síň výtvarných umění, vydražila část Etheliny díla. Jedním z vydražených kusů byl signovaný akvarel s názvem On the Sand, Midsummer. Dílo o velikosti 25x35 cm se dostalo na cenu 352 liber.

Díla umělkyně byla vystavena v New English Art Clubu, jehož byla členkou. Její technika získala chválu: "Mezi olejomalbami však zaujalo číslo 51 At the Fair: i když jen jako skica, ukazuje chytré zacházení se světly a různými barvami. Autorka naznačuje dav dětí, ale je třeba ho pozorovat ze značné vzdálenosti, aby bylo lépe vidět výhody této techniky."

Vládní umělecká sbírka v Británii má ve své sbírce jedno její dílo s názvem A View of Lago di Orta. Umělkyně jej darovala v roce 1972 a dostal číslo GAC 17065.

Pozdější život
Dne 10. listopadu 1889 zemřel Ethelin otec. Ethel bylo v té době 20 let. Ethel udržovala přátelství s umělkyní Joan Hassall, další umělkyní, která se zaměřilovala na dřevorytiny a ilustraci knih. Ve vydání knížky z roku 1959 The Yale of the Swinburne Letters, 1854–1869, svazek 1; Volumes 1854–1869 věnovala Ethel dopisy svému otci Edwinovi od Algernona Charlese Swinburna. V kompilaci se objevují čtyři dopisy a Ethel do publikace zkopírovala všechny zmínky o Swinburnovi z deníků svého otce.

Dne 20. září 1920, ve věku 51 let, byla Ethel mezi hlavními truchlícími na pohřbu Williama Sandaye, profesora Exegeze svatého písma Deana Irska v Oxfordu v letech 1883 až 1895. K formálnímu smutku se připojila také její sestra Evelyn a profesor Cuthbert Turner.

Ethel Hatchová zemřela v Kensingtonu v roce 1975, měsíc před dožitím svých 106. narozenin.
