В том же году приступила к работе в балетной труппе в Бурятском Государственном академическом театре оперы и балета. Вскоре Вероника вышла замуж и родила дочь, в связи с этим о балетной карьере ведущей солистки уже не мечтала, иногда танцевала небольшие сольные партии.

Однако случай помог ей вернуться на главную сцену Бурятии: за три дня до спектакля «Дон-Кихот» неожиданно заболела балерина, исполняющая главную партию. И Вероника с успехом заменила её.

Были и сомнения и страх, но желание танцевать было сильней. Исполнение партии Китри придало новый виток карьере Вероники Мироновой, ее талант заиграл новыми гранями, в репертуаре Вероники появились главные партии, такие, как Жизель из одноименного балета, Нурида из балета «Тысяча и одна ночь», и многие другие. Вся жизнь Вероники Мироновой неразрывно связана с балетом... И радует ценителей балета на сцене Бурятского Государственного академического театра оперы и балета.

В 1996 году Миронова стала солисткой балета. В том же году за исполнение партии Китри в спектакле «Дон-Кихот» (Л. Минкус) была награждена премией Союза театральных деятелей Республики Бурятия «За лучшую женскую роль».

С 1998 по 2000 год исполняла партию  Жизель в спектакле «Жизель» (Адан, Адольф|А. Адан). Некоторое время работала в Калмыкии по приглашению муниципального театра классического балета «Элиста». В 1999—2001 годах исполняла роль Коломбины и Пьеретты «Арлекинада» Г. Доницетти; «Тысяча и одна ночь» Ф. Амирова (Нурида, Девушка из 1-й сказки). Вместе с театром гастролировала во многих городах России: Владивостоке и Хабаровске, Иркутске и Чите, Волгограде и Элисте, Барнауле и Кызыле, Якутске, а также в городах Донецке и Днепропетровске в Украине. С концертными программами выезжала в Монголию и Китай.

В детских спектаклях Миронова танцует Мальвину (В. Бочаров. «Буратино»), Кенгуру и Кошку (В. Усович. «Тараканище»), Котёнка («Малыш и Карлсон») и др.

В 2000 году окончила Восточно-Сибирскую государственную академию культуры и искусства. В 2003 году была приглашена на преподавательскую работу в Бурятское государственное хореографическое училище, где начала вести урок классического танца, передаёт здесь свой опыт юным ученикам и в настоящее время.

Награждена нагрудным знаком Министерства культуры Российской Федерации «За достижения в культуре». За исполнение партии Эсмеральды в «Соборе Парижской богоматери» выдвигалась на приз Министерства культуры Республики Бурятия в номинации «За лучшую женскую роль».

Jute Gyte – Birefringence
written by Scott Murphy on July 10, 2019
Up to this point, Jute Gyte has made an almost annual tradition of releasing the boldest black metal album of the year. With this project, multi-instrumentalist Adam Kalmbach has channeled the black metal blueprint through classical composition techniques—microtonality and serialism, primarily—and paired the results with elements of dark ambient, industrial,…
Howling Sycamore – Seven Pathways to Annihilation
written by Eden Kupermintz on June 10, 2019
That title, coming from this band, is honestly terrifying. We're still reeling from Howling Sycamore's debut release, a supergroup comprised of some of death metal's best and making a weird type of avant-garde progressive metal, and here they stand before us with a promise of annihilation. Interestingly enough, Seven Pathways…
Zvi – Deer Pink
written by Scott Murphy on April 25, 2019
Sometimes music critics can benefit from adhering to the notion that "form follows function." It's an abstract use of the bauhaus principle, but one which feels especially relevant in the modern music landscape. We often slather genre tags on scenes and artists that are growing more and more stylistically agnostic,…
Hey! Listen to Folian!
written by Scott Murphy on March 28, 2019
One of the fastest ways to a music critic's heart is a seamless synthesis of styles. Anytime a group successfully blends adjacent or dissimilar genres, the results can push boundaries with a truly engaging, unique listen. Such is the case with Ache Pillars, the latest EP from one-person band Folian.…
EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Veilburner Ascend To Greatness With "Upstream and Parallel"
written by Jonathan Adams on December 10, 2018
There are plenty of fantastic bands that toil in the margins of relative obscurity. Some eventually find a wider audience and catapult themselves to various levels of fame, while others never reach that coveted status of instantly recognizable. It's fitting, then, that Pennsylvania upstarts Veilburner signed with the aptly named…

Heavy Buys // Sumac – Love In Shadow
written by Jordan Jerabek on October 10, 2018
Heavy Buys
Sumac's Love In Shadow is a tremendous album. I won't drone on about specifics, we've covered it thoroughly enough, and that's not my angle. Still, rare is the pedigree of the lineup, the execution of the vision, and the expectation-breaking nature of the group's latest – it's a no-brainer that…
Conduit – Drowning World
written by Scott Murphy on September 25, 2018
Of all the extreme music subgenres I've been tasked with defending to unimpressed friends and family members, crafting a convincing argument for the qualities of noise has by far been my toughest endeavor. Whereas ambient and drone have alluring, relaxing qualities that some outside listeners can appreciate, noise often just sounds…
EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Make Time to Experience Mamaleek's Experimental Blackgaze Opus Out of Time

White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci didn't even last a full month on the job before he was able to tack on "former" in front of the title.
At the behest of White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly, President Donald Trump fired the former Wall Street financier. The move was the first of what is likely to be a very high-profile "cleaning of house" in the West Wing. The move happened just within the past hour, and no official announcement has been made by the president or the White House.
Last week, shortly after he was hired, the communications director had become embroiled in a behind-the-scenes fight with other members of the president's so-called "inner circle" over leaks to the liberal mainstream media. That tussle resulted in the firing Friday of Reince Priebus as White House Chief of Staff, and ultimately, Kelly's selection to replace him.
Then came the profanity-laced tirade that appeared in the media, and shortly thereafter, reports about his impending divorce. Both of those elicited combative responses, which perhaps suggested little would change despite the changes in personnel. A number of evangelical leaders were critical of Scaramucci and demanded he be fired.
It's not yet clear what was the final tipping stone. Additionally, it's unclear what, if any, role Scaramucci might have with the administration in the future.

A mesa ou a haste numa bicicleta é a peça que une o guidão à espiga do garfo. Ela pode ser de rosca ou sem rosca, variando com o tipo de caixa de direção.

Numa mesa de rosca, ela mesma não é rosqueada. A rosca referida é na caixa de direção que é usada com este tipo de mesa. O aperto dela faz a espiga do garfo ficar justo no quadro através de um mancal. Um longo parafuso fixa a mesa na espiga do garfo, integrando um único corpo cilíndrico oco que, atravessando o quadro pelo tubo da caixa de direção, deve rotacionar livremente. Nesse sistema, o tubo da caixa de direção também deve ter uma rosca, para fixação da caixa de direção no quadro. A largura desses tubos e os tipos de rosca podem variar.

Os sistemas sem rosca sucederam o sistemas com rosca. Os fabricantes não precisam mais fornecer vários modelos de garfos rosqueados. Com essa inovação, espigas de garfo tiveram suas dimensões padronizadas; para a espiga se adequar em comprimento a qualquer bicicleta com caixa de direção sem rosca, ela só tem de ser cortada.

Garfos rosqueados dão muito mais trabalho ao mecânico de bicicletas do que garfos não rosqueados.

As vantagens de cada tipo
De rosca:
 Ajuste fino para altura do guidão, enquanto a outra usa espaçadores
 Possibilidade de serem alteadas, enquanto a outra faz um encaixe modular na espiga do garfo
 Podem ter aparência esguia e suave, enquanto a outra tende a ter uma aparência "modular"
 São substituídas sem desregular a caixa de direção
Sem rosca:
 Simples de trocar, regular, inverter ou mixar
 Disponíveis em várias formas, cores, configurações de avanço e angulação
 Possibilita tubos de caixa de direção (quadros) mais leves, em alumínio ou fibra de carbono
 São substituídos com o uso de uma simples chave allen (algumas mesas de rosca também possibilitam isso)
 É centralizada sem interferir na altura do guidão
 O sistema evita o manuseio interno do mancal da caixa de direção

Forms and Federal Regulations ("Buckley") 34 CFR Part 99
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, more commonly known as the "Buckley Amendment," guarantees certain rights for students and eligible
parents regarding access to, confidentiality of, and correction of the student's education records. The purpose of this policy is to implement those statutory rights at Governors State University.
For the purposes of this policy, Governors State University operationally defines the following:
A student is any person who is, or was, in attendance at Governors State University.
An education record is any record (written, printed, taped, filmed, etc.) maintained by Governors State University or by an agent or employee of the University,
that is directly related to a student, with the following exceptions:
A record kept by a University employee if it is kept in the sole possession of the maker of the record and is not accessible or revealed to other persons
except for a temporary substitute for the maker of the record.
Records created and maintained by Public Safety strictly for law enforcement purposes.
An employment record of an individual, whose employment is not contingent on the fact that the individual is a student, provided the record is
used only in relation to the individual's employment.
Records made or maintained by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized health professional/paraprofessional, if the
records are used only for the treatment of a student and are made available only to those persons providing the treatment.
Alumni records which contain information about a student after the student is no longer in attendance at the University and which do not relate to the person as a student.
A parent includes a natural parent of a student, a guardian, or an individual acting as a parent in the absence of a parent or a guardian.
An eligible parent is either (1) a parent of a student who has given written consent for the parent to review the student's education records or (2) a parent
who has claimed the student as a dependent as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in the most recently ended tax year.

or (2) a copy of the 1040 series income tax form filed with the IRS for the most recently ended tax year is submitted by the parent to the appropriate record custodian
showing that the student is claimed as defined in section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The record custodian will make the needed access arrangements as promptly as possible and notify the student or eligible parent of the time and location where
the records may be inspected. Access must be provided within 45 days or less from receipt of the request.
When a record contains information about more than one student, the student or eligible parent may inspect and review only the records that relate to the student.
The review must be done in the presence of a University representative. Original records may not be removed from any office where they are maintained.

Correction of Education Records
Students have the right to ask to have records corrected that they believe are inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of their privacy rights. The following are procedures
for the correction of records:
A student must ask the appropriate records custodian, listed in Section I, to amend a specific record. In so doing, the student should identify the part of the
record the student wants changed and specify why the student believes it to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights.
The custodian may comply with the request or may decide not to comply. If the custodian decides not to comply, the custodian will notify the student of the
decision and advise the student of the right to a hearing to challenge the information believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's rights.
Upon request, the custodian will arrange for a hearing and will notify the student reasonably in advance of the date, location, and time of the hearing.
The hearing will be conducted by a hearing officer who is a disinterested party appointed by the Provost. The hearing officer may be an official of the University.
The student shall be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the issues raised in the original request to amend the student's education records.
The student may be assisted by one or more individuals, including an attorney.
The hearing officer will prepare a written decision based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing. The decision will include a summary of the evidence
presented and the reasons for the decision.
If the hearing officer decides that the contested information is not inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's right of privacy, the hearing officer will notify
the student that the student has a right to place in the record, a statement commenting on the contested information and/or a statement setting forth reasons for
disagreeing with the decision.
The statement will be maintained as part of the student's education records as long as the contested portion is maintained. If GSU discloses the contested portion
of the record, it will also disclose the statement.
If the hearing officer decides that the information is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's right to privacy, the appropriate record custodian will amend
the record and notify the student, in writing, that the record has been amended.
Students have the right to file complaints with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office (FERPA), Department of Education, Washington, D.C., 20201,
concerning alleged failures of GSU to comply with the Act.

(GSU Board of Trustees Regulations, Section IV. Subsection C.)
For purposes of this regulation, the following definitions pertain:
An "adult student" is a student who is eighteen or more years of age.
A "minor student" is a student who is less than eighteen years of age.
An "emancipated minor student" is a completely self-supporting student who is less than eighteen years of age. Marriage or active military service shall be
regarded as effecting the emancipation of minors, whether male or female, for the purposes of this regulation.
"Residence" means legal domicile. Voter registration, filing of tax returns, proper license and registration for driving or ownership of a vehicle, and other such
transactions may verify intent of residence in a state. Neither length of university attendance nor continued presence in the university community during vacation
periods shall be construed to be proof of Illinois residence. Except as otherwise provided in this regulation, no parent or legal or natural guardian will be considered
a resident unless the parent or guardian maintains a bona fide and permanent residence in Illinois, except when temporarily absent from Illinois, with no intention
of changing his or her legal residence to some other state or country.
Residency Determination
The university shall determine the residency status of each student enrolled in the university for the purpose of determining whether the student is assessed in-state
or out-of-state tuition. Each applicant for admission to the university shall submit at the time of application evidence for determination of residency. The office responsible
for admissions shall make a determination of residency status.
If a non-resident is classified by error as a resident, a change in tuition charges shall be applicable beginning with the term following reclassification. If the erroneous
resident classification is caused by false information submitted by the student, a change in tuition charges shall be applicable for each term in which tuition charges
were based on such false information. In addition, the student who has submitted false information may be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
If a resident is classified by error as a non-resident, a change in tuition charges shall be applicable during the term in which the reclassification occurs, provided that
the student has filed a written request for review in accordance with this regulation.
To be considered a resident, an adult student must have been a bona fide resident of Illinois for a period of at least six consecutive months immediately
preceding the beginning of any term for which the individual registers at the university and must continue to maintain a bona fide residence in Illinois. In
the case of adult students who reside with their parents (or one of them if only one parent is living or the parents are separated or divorced), the student
will be considered a resident if the parents have established and are maintaining a bona fide residence in Illinois.
Minor Students
The residence of a minor student shall be considered to be the same as and change with the following:
That of the minor's parents if they are living together, or the living parent if one is deceased; or
If the parents are separated or divorced, that of the parent to whom custody of the minor has been awarded by court decree or order, or, in the absence
of a court decree or order, that of the father unless the minor has continuously resided with the mother for a period of at least six consecutive months
immediately preceding the minor's registration at the university, in which latter case the minor's residence shall be considered to be that of the mother; or
If the minor has been legally adopted, that of the adoptive parents, and, in the event the adoptive parents become divorced or separated, that of the
adoptive parent whose residence would govern under the foregoing rules if the parent had been a natural parent; or
That of the legally appointed guardian of the person; or
That of a "natural" guardian such as a grandparent, adult brother or adult sister, adult uncle or aunt, or other adult with whom the minor has resided and by
whom the minor has been supported for a period of at least six consecutive months immediately preceding the minor's registration at the university for any
term if the minor's parents are deceased or have abandoned the minor and if no legal guardian of the minor has been appointed and qualified.
Emancipated Minors
If emancipated minors actually reside in Illinois, such minors shall be considered residents even though their parents or guardians may not reside in Illinois. Emancipated
minors who are completely self-supporting shall be considered residents if they have maintained a dwelling place within Illinois uninterruptedly for a period of at least
six consecutive months immediately preceding the beginning of any term for which they register at the university. Emancipated minors who reside with their parents
and whose parents (or one of them if one parent is living or the parents are separated or divorced) have established and are maintaining a bona fide Illinois residence
shall be regarded as residents.
Minor Children of Parents Transferred outside the United States
The minor children of persons who have resided in Illinois for at leave twelve consecutive months immediately prior to a transfer by their employers to some location
outside of the United States shall be considered residents. This rule shall apply, however, only when the minor children of such parents enroll in the university within
five years of the time their parents are transferred by their employer to a location outside the United States.
Married Students
A non-resident student, whether minor or adult, who is married to a person who meets and complies with all of the applicable requirements of these regulations to
establish residence status, shall be classified as a resident.
Armed Forces Personnel
Non-residents of Illinois who are on active duty with one of the services of the Armed Forces of the United States who are stationed in Illinois and who submit evidence
of such service and station, as well as the spouses and dependent children of such persons, shall be considered residents as long as such persons remain stationed in
Illinois and the spouses and/or dependent children of such persons also reside in Illinois. If such persons are transferred to a post outside the continental United States
but such persons remain registered at the university, residency status shall continue until such time as these persons are stationed within a state other than Illinois within
Staff Members of the University, Allied Agencies, and Faculty of State-Supported Institutions in Illinois
Staff members of the university and of allied agencies, and faculties of state-supported institutions of higher education in Illinois, holding appointment of at least one-quarter
time, and their spouses and dependent children, shall be treated as residents.
Teachers in Public and Private Illinois Schools
Teachers in the public and private elementary and secondary schools of Illinois shall, if subject to payment of tuition, be assessed at the resident rate during any term
in which they hold an appointment of at least one-quarter time, including the summer session immediately following the term in which the appointment was effective.
Residency Status Appeal Procedure
Students who take exception to their residency status classification shall pay the tuition assessed but may file a claim in writing to the university office responsible for reconsideration
of residency status. The written claim must be filed within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the tuition bill or the student loses all rights to a change of residency status for the
term in question. If the student is dissatisfied with the ruling in response to the written claim made within said period, the student may file a written appeal within ten (10) calendar days
of receipt of the decision to the responsible university office. Such written appeals shall be forwarded to the appropriate university vice president, who shall consider all evidence submitted
in connection with the case and render a decision which shall be final.
Upon recommendation of the President, the Board may, in special situations, grant residency status to categories of persons otherwise classified as non-residents under this regulation.


Paul Calvert spoke with Dudi Mevorach from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, about the history of the model of Jerusalem in the late Second Temple period, and how it's changed over the years in response to archaeological excavations.
Paul: You are going to walk us through the Israel Museum. We are here at the model of the Temple, tell us about this.
Dudi: We are next to the model of Jerusalem in the late Second Temple period, which is 66CE. That was the beginning of the great Jewish revolt against the Romans.
It's a huge vast model. It's built over more than a thousand square metres. It was built in the early sixties by a private hotel manager, in a different site in Jerusalem, before Israelis could cross to the eastern side of Jerusalem.
His initiative was to build a model that would allow Israelis to see those places and understand this crucial moment. What we see here is actually Jerusalem as it looked at its peak moment. The end of the Herodian period with all the monumental buildings at the centre of which is the Temple Mount and the Temple itself.
The choice was to choose the best professor of History and Archaeology, Professor Michael Avi-Yonah, and charge him with this huge task of imagining Jerusalem in three dimensions 2000 years ago.
It's never easy to reconstruct historical or archaeological buildings. If you do so in an article or presentation you can speculate and offer a few options, but if you build a model in three dimensions, then you have to decide and take decisions.
The sources that he worked with to get his data were first of all the archaeological excavations, but in the sixties they were not that large. There are remains that are still seen like the walls of the Temple Mount and other things. Then there are the historical sources, Flavius Josephus to begin with, the Mishnah, and other Roman sources that describe Jerusalem and parallel sites from Roman and late Hellenistic sites around the world. He took all these together and step by step reconstructed Jerusalem in a genius way.
Now almost 60 years later we know that he has done a phenomenal work and most of his speculations proved to be right with future excavations.
Some of them are different from his assumptions and he always said that the most important thing that you need when you build a model of historic nature, the most important tool, is the hammer to knock off the mistakes that you have done. Indeed we have done some changes to the model since it was built.
Originally it was built on a hill top in Jerusalem not far from the museum where you can see it. It's called the Holy Land Hotel. The man who initiated it was Hans Kroch.
Then in 2006 there was a decision to do a huge development project where the hotel stood and the question was "Where would the model be moved to?"
I don't know if it's divine intervention or any other thing, but we had an open field just west of the Shrine of the Book that holds the Dead Sea Scrolls. This is from the same period in the museum grounds. Luckily for us the decision was to move it to here.
The model is built from Jerusalem stone. That was another decision taken by the builders. It is built from more than a million cubes of Jerusalem stone. So how do you move a 1000 square metre stone model?
Paul: That was one of my questions. How do you move this? It's amazing!

Home » 10D – Viva Sri Lanka
Negombo, Minneriya, Habarana, Sigiriya, Plolonnaruwa, Dambulla, Kandy, Galle, and Colombo
Set in the Indian Ocean in South Asia, the tropical island nation of Sri Lanka has a history dating back to the birth of time. It is a place where the original soul of Buddhism still flourishes and where nature's beauty remains abundant and unspoilt. This is an island of magical proportions, once known as Serendib, Taprobane, and Ceylon. Discover refreshingly Sri Lanka!
Your tour starts from Negombo, a characteristic Fishing Town North of Colombo. It is a Gourmet's Paradise with Sea Food in plenty. Apart from the above, it has a unique charm of its own with a beautiful Lagoon, narrow streets and Churches dotting the landscape.
Minneriya National Park is a haven for flora and fauna. Being part of the elephant corridor, you have guaranteed sightings of elephants throughout the year. Every year during August to October, one of the most awesome wildlife spectacles "The Gathering" takes place. Over 300 elephants are seen making their way to Minneriya tank as the ancient tank slowly dries up giving way to fresh grass and shoots which is a feast in abundance.
This morning visit the Sigiriya Rock fortress – thought to be one of the oldest tourist attractions in the world, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. Standing more than 200m tall over the surrounding plains, the rock is said to be a solidified magma plug, from a long eroded and extinct volcano. On its summit are the remains of a palace, built by King Kasyapa in the 5th century AD. The second most ancient of Sri Lanka's kingdoms, today the city of Polonnaruwa remains one of the best planned archeological relic sites in the country, standing testimony to the discipline and greatness of the kingdoms first rulers. It has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
Like Sigiriya, Dambulla is a vast isolated rock mass and it was here that king Valagam Bahu took refuge from invasions in the 1st century B.C., later turning the caves into a rock temple. Kandy was the last royal capital and it is one of the most charming towns in Sri Lanka, famous for its gorgeous setting beside a lake, cradled by hills and surrounded by the sinuous lines of tea plantations. The city of Kandy is considered as the cultural capital of Sri Lanka declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site as it is home to the Sacred Temple of the Tooth, most revered by Buddhists. Kandy was the last Kingdom of Sri Lanka.
The Galle Fort built with solid granite by the Dutch, in 1663, is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is the largest remaining fortress in Asia, built by European occupiers. In recent times Galle has acquired a reputation for becoming a cultural center by hosting the now famous and very popular annual literary festival during the first quarter of the year with famous international writers and poets participating.
Colombo — bursting with life and colors, the island's largest city that was once the capital of Sri Lanka, is now its commercial hub. This modern city with an ancient heart is a monument to its colonial history. Its architecture is influenced by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. Today, it is a mix of modern architecture among colonial buildings.
Fly home from Colombo and farewell to the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean".

Jaime Escalante, More Inspiring than Ever
By Kathy Baron
When you think about Jaime Escalante, think about this: Passing Advanced Placement exams is an uphill battle for most students, but for African American and Latino high school kids it can feel like pushing a big rock up that hill. Even though more students are taking the exams, the pass rate is declining. Just 16.7 % of African American students and 41.3 % of Hispanic students scored well enough to earn college credit on the two AP calculus tests given last year. Versus more than 69% for white students.
These numbers make Jaime Escalante's feat at Los Angeles's Garfield High School even more awe-inspiring. The legendary calculus teacher, immortalized in the film, Stand and Deliver, died on March 30th after battling cancer. He was 79.
Credit: Associated Press
Escalante took a class of predominantly Latino, inner-city students, whom others said couldn't learn, and taught them to master calculus. He did so well, that in 1982 every student in his class nailed AP Calculus, nearly half with a perfect score.
That led to a much-publicized scandal where the College Board suspected cheating, invalidated the results, and made the students re-take the test. There were hard feelings and not all the students took it again, but those who did, all passed the second time around.
How did he do it? "He wouldn't budge on his expectations," said Thomas Valdez, who had Escalante for math class from 1989 through 1991. Valdez, now a senior member of the engineering staff at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, describes himself as one of Escalante's weakest students. "That poor man, I really put him through a lot."
Valdez has had many math and science teachers since high school - he's about to earn his Ph.D. - and says he's still blown away by all that Escalante accomplished. "My calculus classes in college were a joke compared to what I had gone through with him."
Valdez visited his mentor in the hospital a few weeks ago, and says he told Escalante how grateful he is that "even when he had a hard case like me, he stuck with me." He laughs and says it's no exaggeration. " He basically was just there at my side every minute."
His toughness didn't always sit well with fellow teachers, especially when he supported California's Proposition 227, the 1998 ballot measure that banned most bilingual education programs. He left Garfield High amidst some ill will. But there's no question that his methods worked. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued a statement praising Escalante's doggedness. "His life provides yet one more reminder of the many teachers who work zealously every day to open the minds and doors of opportunity for students."

Q: pdfbox font cache error In /home/user1/.fonts folder there was one xyz.otf file. This font is used by my program that uses pdfbox to generate postscript from pdf file. Later I removed the xyz.otf file and ran 'fc-cache -fv' and 'fc-list'. As expected, xyz is gone.
However, when I run the java program I get error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/user1/.fonts/xyz.otf (No such file or directory)

It seems the old font is cached some where (by whom?). But I checked /tmp and ~user1/.cache and cannot find anything related. How can I clear the cache? I use CentOS 7 and pdfbox 2.0.8. Thanks!

A: Remove the file ".pdfbox.cache" in your user home directory. That one stores the locations of all the fonts on your system. I suspect that it detects only if there are new fonts and not if fonts have been deleted.
Update: This will be fixed in version 2.0.9 (issue PDFBOX-4129).

It's been a tough year! In fact it's been the toughest year of my life to date. For all kinds of reasons.
This is relevant here because of one thing that's happened as a result.
I've had a lot more contact with my wider family. Dad, Mum, Sister, Brother – all of them. I've been struck by how much my focus has shifted back "home" when the pressure has been on.
"Home" in this context is not a place, though it could include that. It's about people. People we feel safe with. People we can trust. People who really know us, and love us anyway. People who act as a secure base.
A safe harbour, if you like, to shelter us from navigating the stormy waters of life on our own.
Generally, children are born with all the physical attributes they need for life. They have all their bits! But they have to learn to use them. Until they do, they are totally dependent on those who care for them.
As children grow they have to learn how to be a person. They start from scratch and learn everything they need to know about life. Everything.
Caregivers, whether parents, other family members or foster carers, act as a security to young children. They "hold" the child within safe, affectionate and predictable boundaries, whilst they learn and gradually begin to explore life.
Essentially, attachment is about the emotional "bond" between an infant and their main carer/s. Children learn about the world, about their place in it and about being a person. And they do it all through the mechanism of one or two principal adults who lay the foundation upon which other relationships are built.
The core "lessons" which will guide future development are "taught" through the relationship with this key person or people. This is the attachment relationship.
This basic learning takes place over the first three years of life.
The way the child is parented and the "attachment style" that develops over this early period, profoundly influences future development. Increasingly research using brain scanning techniques shows that the nature and quality of the early relationship between a child and their caregivers shapes the way in which young brains are 'wired'.
So, the attachment relationship is the lens through which infants encounter the world. The nature of it determines their perception of other people, themselves and the world they inhabit.
Just as I physically go back to my primary attachment relationships when things in life get tough, at a deeper level I am drawing on the lessons of trust, love and safety that I learnt in my very early years.
I know that I am not on my own, that other people can and will help me. And I know that I will be able to cope with whatever life throws at me.
Without good responsive care from my parents in the first few years of my life all these things would be much less certain.
A short post of this kind can only summarise and briefly define what attachment is and why it matters. To compensate for the incompleteness of this, I would urge readers to further exploration of the subject.
There are lots of books around on attachment. To help you navigate through it all, I make some initial recommendations here.
The following two posts don't address attachment directly. However, they make comment about the failure of attachment and how this can contribute to behavioural problems later on, and also on the need for relational working with troubled young people.

Hi Jonny, good piece about attachment, I like the definition inasmuch it confirms my own understanding. Having worked for many years in children's services and listened to various consultants, experts and social workers trying to make out attachment as some mythical process it is refreshing to have it clearly defined by a recognised body,(ANW).
I don't know if you would agree but as social work is regularly in the limelight for all the wrong reasons, social workers (from my observation) are intent on justifying their work to the point of become almost insular and unable to see the wider picture, which is sad because we all know they do loads of good work that goes unnoticed.
Hi Jonny, as a fairly new foster carer we took in a new born baby a year ago and he has formed great attachements to the whole family. He is hopefully going to be adopted and my question would be, how easy will it be for him to move his attachments from us to his new family?
Hi Sarah – great question!
The key to this situation is to grasp the importance of a child's earliest period of development. Attachments start to be built from day one. The care you give this little one is crucial, not just in terms of survival, but particularly because of the developmental learning that is taking place. Your safe, consistent and loving care will get him off to a solid start. He NEEDS to attach to you, and he will.
One problem with early caring for kids who are going to move on, is to fall into the trap of believing that you should avoid getting "too attached". Behind this is the myth that by NOT getting attached to you, you help the child to move on – it'll be less of rench.
This isn't true. Once a child's attachment processes get going, as long as they are positive, they are better equipped to deal with change. They've already begun to "know" that their distress (wet nappy, hunger, being too hot/cold – whatever it is) will be responded to and alleviated. You will teach him this by the care you give.
So, when he does eventually move on he will already have progressed a good way towards developing well and learning the basic principles he needs for later life.
The change will be unsettling when he does go (for you and your family too!), but because he's attached to you, he'll make the change and attach to his adoptive parents more easily. The more sensitive, responsive and loving you are, the better chance he'll have of making that change successfully. Whatever you do, don't hold back. Go for it! J.
Thanks Jonny. When we started fostering a very experienced foster carer told me that if it doesn't hurt when they leave then we haven't done our job properly and I think of this often. I know it will hurt us all when our little one leaves us – and that means we have done well!
Absolutely, if you lose your heart to a child, the chances are that the job of caring you've done has been equally affectionate, consistent and safe – exactly what he needs! It'll hurt you, no doubt, and him too to some degree. But the key issue is that he will do infinitely better going forward because of that care, than he would have done if you'd kept your emotional distance and just focussed on the mechanics of meeting his needs. Well done!

The 2017 winner of the AHDB Beef & Lamb Better Returns Programme Improved Flock Award for Charollais sheep is the Kingsland flock owned by John Stott Jnr, at Crosscrake, Nr Kendal. This award is presented to the English Signet performance recorded flock that makes the greatest improvement in the breeding potential of the lamb crop during the previous year.
mance of their flocks and assist them to promote their achievement. The impact of performance recorded stock is significant and is increasing every year because of the activities of progressive farmers.
John Stott Jnr has been at Crosscrake since 1947 and as well as their pedigree Charollais sheep, they have a small commercial crossbred flock for lamb production, 150 wintered ewe lambs, a Livery yard, a small suckle herd, some pigs and goats –quite the selection!
John established his pedigree Charollais flock in 1989 and was originally introduced to them by a friend. He was attracted to them due to their growth rates and carcass qualities. He also liked how they are a good breed to use for crossbreeding for commercial lamb production and that they are relatively easy lambing.
John began recording his pedigree Charollais sheep around 2-3 years ago. Peter Woof, a neighbour of John's, was enthusiastic about the opportunities that performance recording could bring to his flock of Texel sheep and John decided to try the programme with his flock. John mainly concentrates on carcase and growth rate traits mainly, he likes well-muscled rams especially around the gigot.
Kingsland Charollais' main customers are commercial farmers, John usually sells at Bentham and Kendal Markets. He also sells sheep at the NSA Main Ram Sale in September, which he thoroughly enjoys and finds he has repeat buyers every year. His customers are interested in the performance figures and they do consider them when buying stock.
John enjoys showing his Charollais sheep, he takes them to the Great Yorkshire Show every July and he does very well at local shows. In 2016 he came 1st place with his ram lamb which then went on to become male champion at Westmoorland Show. He also does very well at Bentham and Cartmel County shows.
Looking to the future, John wants to keep improving his flock. He wants to breed an excellent lamb that will place highly in the show ring, especially at the Great Yorkshire and believes he can do so by concentrating on his performance figures. John believes he has won the award this year due to the use of a ram from Alan Kennedy's Parkgate flock, Carnew Nijinsky who was in the top 1% of the breed in 2016. John was able to use him for a selection of his ewes for Artificial Insemination.
John feels 'tremendous' about winning the Improved Flock Award this year and says he is still in a state of disbelief but is delighted that all his hard work over the years has been worth it. This year's lambs are in an excellent condition and he is thrilled with them all. This shows him how much of an improvement has been made from performance recording. John would like to thank Peter Woof for all his help and guidance which got him into recording.
The chart shows that Carnew Nijinsky has superior growth rates with excellent scan and 8 week weights that are considerably above average. This ram also has admirable maternal ability levels.
With an index of 419 in 2016 this placed him within the top 1% of the breed.

What is a Master Mind Group
According to Napoleon Hill, Master Mind is "a mind that is developed through the harmonious co-operation of two or more people who ally themselves for the purpose of accomplishing any given task." Hill believes "Each person in the group becomes vested with the power to contact with and gather knowledge through the 'subconscious' minds of all the other members of the group.
"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
-Jim Rohn
This power becomes immediately noticeable, evidencing itself in the form of a more vivid imagination and the consciousness of what appears to be a sixth sense. It is through this sixth sense that new ideas will "flash" into the mind."
The Master Mind group will meet for the purpose of discussing High Performance Leadership. From the group, ideas concerning leadership will come pouring into the minds of each member. The minds of the 'Master Mind' group become as magnets, attracting ideas and thought stimuli allowing each member to think bigger and stretch beyond existing boundaries.
Benefits of Joining the Master Mind Group:

Every child deserves a loving home and family! CCAI's mission since 1992 has been to find caring parents and loving homes for as many orphaned and abandoned children as possible. Recognized as a highly respected leader in adoption and a Hague-accredited agency, CCAI is well-known for its rich professional experience in China, Haiti, Latvia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Taiwan, and Colombia adoptions, as well as for its trusted reputation for financial integrity and affordability.

We are a Christian organization committed to a world where every child has a loving and secure home. We help strengthen vulnerable families, care for orphans, and find adoptive families for kids.
Before16
www.before16.org
Before 16 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation built to care for orphans. They strive to get these children hosted by a family who is either considering adoption or will advocate for adoption. Their hope is that the hosting process can provide the avenue to find a loving family for each child. They are dedicated to rescuing as many orphans as possible before they turn 16 years old and age out of the system.
Casa de la Madre
www.la-casa.org
We are a non-profit organization, founded seventy-five years ago by Maria Lopez Michelsen, who had the vision to join parents who were looking for the love of a son or a daughter, with children in abandonment, who, in turn, were looking for a loving home. We ensure the right to life, through our pregnant mothers who have decided to give up their child for adoption, as the best alternative to grant their children the future they cannot offer them. We also provide protection to minors during the process of restoration of some of their fundamental rights, such as health, education, nutrition and physical and social development. Mrs. Maria Lopez Michelsen was deeply moved in 1942 when, working as a volunteer at San José Hospital, became aware of the sad future of the abandoned children in Colombia. They were placed on the hands of Welfare until they became of age. It was then, when she founded the first adoption institution in Colombia, who has offered the right to grow up in a family to more than 8,000 children.

Home / Shop / Clenbuterol / Clenbuterol Extreme Burn 60mcg
on orders over USD 280
Clenbuterol HCL is a steroid-like substance but it's actually not a steroid. It belongs to the group of drug known as beta-2-agonist. It is one of the most popular weight loss drugs in the world. It is a fat burner drug with muscle building and muscle preserving effects. It's popularly known as Clen. It is used mostly by bodybuilders, athletes and actors who need to lost fat fast while preserving lean muscle mass.
Clenbuterol HCL is mostly used to prevent an asthma attack. It is a bronchodilator and a decongestant. But it has now become a new weight-loss wonder drug because of its effect on the growth of muscle and fat reduction.
How does Clenbuterol HCL Aids Weight Loss?
Clenbuterol HCL has been observed to both reduce body fats and increase muscle mass. It initiates similar reactions as adrenaline and amphetamines. There are two things that Klen can do in order to produce a massive fat loss effect:
Clenbuterol HCL increases the body's internal temperature. This, in turn, causes the metabolic rate which causes more fats to burn every second.
This drug is a bronchodilator which results in an increased consumption of oxygen by the tissue. This gives you more energy so you can work hard, sweat more and therefore burn more fats.
Additionally, its effect remains active in the body for up to 6 days after intake.
How to take Clenbuterol HCL?
Klen generally comes in 40 mcg and 60 mcg tablets. The most commonly used dose for this drug is from 20 mcg to 80 mcg divided into 2 intakes. The best way to take Clenbuterol HCL for weight loss is in a cycle in order to avoid Clenbuterol tolerance. Below is the cycle you may follow:
Two weeks on – Two weeks off
Two days on – Two days off
The typical dose for women is between 20 mcg to 80 mcg. Avoid taking a higher dose of this drug.
Day 1,2,3,4,5 – 20 mcg
Day 6,7,8,9 – 40 mcg
Day 10,11,12 – 60 mcg
Day 13,14 – 80 mcg
After the first cycle, do not take this drug for two weeks. Then you may resume the cycle again. You may continue this cycle 15 times. However, you are not allowed to exceed more than 16 cycles in a year. After a year's dosage take 8 to 20 weeks off.
How much weight is expected to lose?
Dieters, who follow the dosage plan, workout, get proper rest and eat healthy typically lost 3 to 4 lbs. per week. Clenbuterol acts best if you are in good shape and about 10 to 15 lbs. overweight only. But if you are obese and you wanted to lose more weight, this drug is not for you. You better lose a good amount of fats first through proper dieting, exercise and supplements. After that, you can take Clenbuterol HCL to get rid of the last bit of fats and build muscle mass.
What are the side effects of Clenbuterol HCL?
Below are some of the potential risks that come with a Klen cycle:

Attic Self Storage has a proud history of supporting The Arts wherever we operate. We've sponsored Stratford East Theatre and The Stratford East Singers, and more recently we've given our support and even window space to artboxlondon.org, a really worthwhile Islington-based charity who work to give people with learning difficulties access to the arts. We've also been working with Central Saint Martins to turn one of our outside walls into a public gallery space for street artists, a project we're particularly excited about.
This Saturday we're going one stage further as we convert parts of both our Wick Lane and Kings Cross bases into temporary art galleries. Once again we're leading the field in the re-imagining of what a self-storage facility can be. We've turned two of our 200-foot units over to two of the biggest names in conceptual art. Taiwanese artist Apri Le Fu-Lee at Attic, 500 Wick Lane, Bow, and Iranian/American Ivor Bin-Haad at Attic 270-276 York Way, Kings Cross.
Using only materials supplied by us – packing tape, cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, bungee clips – they have created two fabulously unique art installations that simply have to be seen to be believed.
sublimely beautiful piece of art made from everyday objects. The intricate intermingling of household items, wrapped and partially unwrapped, creates a visually enthralling narrative that leaves the viewer quite breathless and yet deeply moved.
Fu-Lee's work, which she calls 'The Day My Brain Froze Over' is a totally different piece altogether. One senses her training as an interior designer as one enters the 200-foot storage space that she has elaborately converted into a magical bubble-wrapped kingdom. The floors, the walls, the ceiling are all carefully bubble-wrapped. This is a fully immersive piece of art that makes us question everything whilst at the same time feeling protected and reassured that nothing can really harm us, as we are invited to imagine ourselves as a fragile glass coffee table.
Frederic de Ryckman de Betz, director of Attic Self Storage says the whole point of the show is to bring art to everyone, to demonstrate that even a self storage facility can be a beautiful place, and to inspire his customers to challenge their own thinking about what the limits of self storage may be for them.
We're now taking bookings for free private viewings at both of our sites. For a guided tour of 'My Life In Storage' please call our King's Cross Office on 020 3873 9500 quoting "Ivor Bin-Haad", or for 'The Day My Brain Froze Over' at Wick Lane please call 020 8981 6800 quoting "Apri Le Fu-Lee".


FOCUS MIDDLE EAST OCS Emirates' contract formally commenced in February 2018, and includes managing the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC services, medical gas pipeline, building fabric, fire and life safety systems, building management system and biomedical engineering equipment. To date, the company has deployed 125 specialist sta‰ , with this figure expected to grow to 300 over the next 18 months. It's quite a challenge, but McDonnell believes the site provides OCS with the opportunity to demonstrate its expertise in the healthcare sector, especially in the handling of delicate medical equipment which requires technical expertise beyond that of a typical facilities professional. "The site is host to some very complex and delicate machinery, all of which is vital to ensuring patient comfort and satisfaction," she says. "This, coupled with the SSMC's enormous coverage, is undoubtedly a challenge for OCS, but it's one we are thrilled to take on. "OCS is only a few months into the contract, but with our team of specialists 36 MAY 2018 already working on site, with more due over the next year, we're confident our e‰ orts will exceed the client's strict standards and continue to provide world-leading patient care for the population of the UAE." With over 100 healthcare facilities, including seven within the UAE, and more than $110 million in healthcare revenue globally, OCS is now well established in the sector, delivering both soª and technical FM contracts. However, it's the SSMC win that represents something of a strategic milestone for the business, due to its size, duration, and prestige. This prestige was reflected in the exhaustive bid process, which lasted over 24 months – the client was meticulous in its assessments and wanted a provider it could trust with its latest build. FUTURE GROWTH OCS was eventually chosen due to its expertise in clinical FM delivery and experience in mobilising large-scale contracts. OCS's soª service reputation within the UK, coupled with its technical delivery history in Asia and South East Asia, proved particularly advantageous. OCS now employs some 50,000 permanent sta‰ across these two regions. McDonnell believes this contract will only strengthen the company's case when bidding for new work in the Middle East and beyond: "It's an accolade to have this brilliant facility on our books and demonstrates to prospective clients that we can add value and deliver on the most demanding of service challenges." Martin Logue, OCS's Managing Director for the Middle East, sees the win as leverage for future growth not only in healthcare, but aviation too. "Strategically this is a great win for our organisation. It has elevated the profile of OCS Emirates across the GCC and the UAE. Over the course of the next five years we will look to expand our healthcare portfolio as well as have a stronger impact within the aviation sector, across the GCC, based upon the global experience of OCS. "We currently work with more than 50 airlines in over 20 airports worldwide, including the management of over 500,000 aircraª per year. With 50 years in aviation and $160 million revenue in the sector in 2017, we expect this to be the next big area of growth for us." While opportunities in the Middle East figure high on the agenda for organisations like OCS Emirates, the close connection that its healthcare sector shares with the UK is also advantageous. The UAE and UK share a strategic partnership that has seen the latter establish outposts of its most successful hospitals and research centres. It's the emergence of establishments such as these in the UAE – and a reported 709 healthcare construction projects with a combined value of $65 billion – that will guarantee OCS Emirates and indeed FM's growth in the region for many years to come.
