Kosher derives its name from the Hebrew "kasher," which means "proper" or "pure." Kosher refers to a set of dietary laws originating in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament that govern both the selection and preparation of food. Kosher goods, whether sold by large companies or small operations, must carry the certification of a rabbinical organization that has overseen the production and can attest to its purity.
In order to be certified as kosher, the food must be cleared by a mashgiach, a rabbi who inspects all the ingredients, equipment and various processing stages to determine that they follow the strict and complex dietary laws established more than 3,000 years ago.
If the products meet these standards, they are certified as kosher by one of the nationally recognized "kashruth" certifying organizations in the United States, and are identified by very small certification marks printed on the packaging. Some of the more common kashruth certification marks include a "U" inside a circle and a "K" inside a circle.
It is estimated that about 44 percent of kosher foods are purchased by members of the Jewish faith. Another 19 percent are purchased by members of other faiths, such as Muslims, Seventh-Day Adventists and others who observe dietary laws similar to Orthodox Jews. Also, 39 percent of all kosher sales are made by other consumers for reasons that have nothing to do with religion. This group includes consumers who have special dietary needs, such as vegetarians or those in at-risk health groups, or consumers who perceive kosher products as purer, healthier, cleaner or safer.
How Big is the Kosher Food Industry?
Food marketing associations estimate that kosher foods account for $50 billion worth of food sales each year. More than 8,100 companies nationwide manufacture more than 36,000 kosher products. While overall food sales are growing by about 1 to 2 percent annually, kosher food sales have increased more than 10 percent annually in recent years. There are more than 450 producers and sellers of kosher food in Florida.
Why is Kosher Growing in Popularity?
As many Americans become more health conscious, they may perceive kosher food products as meeting higher quality standards for safe handling and cleanliness. In the wake of illnesses traced to tainted imported food products in recent years, many U.S. consumers are looking for additional ways to safeguard their health, and the quality controls inherent to kosher processing afford many of them with the peace of mind they seek. Consumers are often impressed with the kosher rules and rabbinical supervision, and assume that the products are purer and safer.
Kosher foods have always been in demand by those who have chosen to observe religious dietary laws, and are rapidly gaining popularity with other consumers. The strict processing and preparation standards of kosher foods are attracting huge numbers of consumers, such as vegetarians and other health-conscious individuals.
But, quickly identifying kosher products in the marketplace can be difficult, especially among consumers who lack experience in locating the tiny traditional certification marks that appear on food packaging.
The "Kosher from Florida" logo program by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services helps all consumers to quickly and easily identify kosher foods that are produced in Florida. The "Kosher from Florida" program is designed to help consumers easily identify Florida-produced kosher foods on store shelves.
Products that are produced in Florida and have been certified as kosher by a nationally recognized kashruth certifying organization are eligible to bear the "Kosher from Florida" logo.
In addition to product packaging, the "Kosher from Florida" logo will appear on shelf tags, display cards, store window signs, and other promotional materials to assist consumers in finding the products they desire.
The "Kosher from Florida" program has been endorsed by the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami.

Dans la mythologie grecque, les îles des Bienheureux (en grec ancien  / ), ou îles Fortunées, sont un lieu mythologique situé aux extrêmes limites du monde, que l'on a tenté d'identifier au cours des âges avec des îles de la côte atlantique de l'Afrique.

Le mythe et la philosophie

Dans la mythologie grecque, les îles des Bienheureux sont un lieu des Enfers où les âmes vertueuses goûtaient un repos parfait après leur mort. Elles étaient placées aux confins occidentaux de la Libye (au sens ancien, c'est-à-dire le Nord-Ouest de l'Afrique), donc dans l'Océan Atlantique. Leur fonction et leurs caractéristiques les rendent très semblables aux champs Élysées. Elles ont notamment été décrites par nombre d'auteurs grecs, puis romains.

Hésiode, dans Les Travaux et les Jours (fin du ), présente les cinq races successives de l'humanité de la mythologie grecque : or, argent, bronze, race des héros puis fer. Il parle des îles dans la partie consacrée à la race des héros. Dans une note de sa traduction, Anne Bignan souligne que cette idée des îles des Bienheureux renvoie à un passage de l'Odyssée d'Homère (parue vers la fin du ). Ce dernier ne fait aucune référence à ces îles. Par contre, il décrit la plaine élyséenne, située aux confins du monde, qui lui est similaire. Dans la même note, Bignan explique pourquoi cet auteur a relégué ces îles par-delà l'Océan. Décrivant une chose idéale, il a dû choisir la contrée qui, à cause de son éloignement, se prêtait merveilleusement à tout ce que la mythologie avait de singulier et de mystérieux.

Pindare parle brièvement de ces îles dans ses Olympiques (), dans une son ode à Théron d'Agrigente, vainqueur à la course de chars.

Parmi les « bienheureux » séjournant dans ces îles mythiques, on retrouve (selon les auteurs) Achille, Alcmène, Cadmos, Harmonie, Diomède, Lycos, Médée, Pélée, Pénélope, Eurydice, Nestor, Rhadamanthe, Télégonos, les tyrannoctones, Anchise…

En philosophie, le mythe des îles des Bienheureux est souvent mentionné par Platon dans la République, dans le Banquet et dans le Ménéxène ; le Gorgias en fait le séjour des âmes . Mais ce séjour n'est pas seulement un au-delà après la mort ; ce n'est pas seulement la traduction symbolique à travers un mythe de la vie de recherche philosophique des platoniciens dans l'Académie. C'est aussi un moyen d'argumentation qui a servi à démontrer la classification des biens en nécessaires et désirables : les habitants de telles îles, délivrés des besoins terrestres, se consacrent en effet entièrement à la contemplation. Si nous étions dans les îles des Bienheureux, quel besoin aurions-nous de l'art oratoire, puisqu'il n'y a pas là de procédures judiciaires ? Quel besoin aurions-nous des vertus de justice, de courage, de maîtrise de soi, et même de l'intelligence éthique (en latin, ) ?

Seules la connaissance et la contemplation pure seraient encore désirables : c'est ce que montre Cicéron dans son Hortensius, à la suite d'Aristote qui utilise ce mythe dans son Protreptique ; et pour cette vie de pure contemplation, le véritable modèle des îles des bienheureux du Protreptique, , c'est la tranquillité du cabinet de travail dans le jardin retiré de l'Académie. Le même Cicéron mentionne aussi brièvement ces îles, sous forme de compliment dans une de ses nombreuses lettres à son ami et confident Atticus, qu'il écrit depuis Tusculum.

Selon une tradition antique rapportée par la Souda et Jean Tzétzès, le nom, au singulier s'applique initialement à l'ancienne acropole de Thèbes, la Cadmée. Plus précisément, makaron nêsos désigne le lieu où Sémélé est frappée par la foudre de Zeus en majesté. Or l'étymologie de l'expression « champs Élysées » est également « lieux sanctifiés par la foudre ».

Dans Au peuple romain, seizième de ses Épodes, le poète latin Horace s'afflige des guerres civiles incessantes qui dévastent Rome. Il invite ses compatriotes à partir pour les îles Fortunées. Il les décrit comme exempt de soucis. Il précise que quand Jupiter, lorsqu'il altéra l'âge d'or en âge de bronze, a réservé ces rivages pour une race pieuse.

L'assyriologue allemand Alfred Jeremias, dans son Hölle und Paradies bei den Babyloniern (L'Enfer et le Paradis chez les Babyloniens), publié en 1900, raconte la quête du héros sumérien Gilgamesh pour la vie éternelle. Celui-ci arrive jusqu'à l'île où vit l'immortel Uta-Napishtim, survivant du Déluge. Jeremias la qualifie d'île des Bienheureux.

Identification géographique

La plupart des sources localisant les îles les situent dans l'océan Atlantique, bien que certaines proposent d'autres localisations :

L'historien et géographe grec Hérodote, dans ses Histoires , parle d'un pays situé à sept journées de Thèbes d'Égypte, qui s'appelle en grec les îles des Bienheureux. Dans une note de sa traduction des Travaux et les Jours d'Hésiode, Anne Bignan commente ce passage.

Dans sa Bibliothèque historique (), l'historien grec Diodore de Sicile raconte le peuplement de l'île de Lesbos, en Grèce. Quelque temps après le déluge de Deucalion, , fils de  roi d'Olénos et fils de Jupiter, y aborda. Il y installa sa colonie et s'y développa grâce à la fertilité du sol. Progressivement, lui et les siens colonisèrent également d'autres îles de la mer Égée : Chios, Samos, Kos et Rhodes. Le déluge qui survint vers cette époque provoqua dans le continent situé en face de ces îles de grandes catastrophes : famine et peste. En revanche, ces îles étant bien exposées aux vents, au climat doux, offraient à leurs habitants un air salubre. Elles étaient fertiles, riches en fruits et prospères, ce qui les fit appeler les îles Fortunées. Dans une note de sa traduction, Jean-Chrétien-Ferdinand Hœfer signale : .

Le géographe grec Strabon évoque brièvement les îles dans le premier livre de sa Géographie, rédigée entre 20 av. J.-C. et 23 apr. J.-C., consacré aux Considérations générales. Il les situe à l'extrémité occidentale de la Maurusie, à la rencontre de laquelle semble s'avancer en quelque sorte l'extrémité correspondante de l'Ibérie. Selon lui, leur réputation de "Fortunées" n'a pu tenir qu'à leur proximité d'une contrée aussi réellement fortunée que l'était l'Ibérie.

Pline l'Ancien évoque ces îles dans les livres IV et VI son Histoire naturelle, publiée vers 77. Il les situe près de l'Espagne, allant jusqu'à donner les distances exactes.

Entre 100 et 120, le penseur grec Plutarque composa Vies parallèles, recueil de biographies de figures illustres grecques et romaines. Dans la Vie qu'il consacre au magistrat romain Quintus Sertorius, il raconte la guerre qu'il mena en Hispanie. Celui-ci s'allia avec des pirates ciliciens, avec qui il se rendit, après avoir subi une longue tempête en mer, près de l'embouchure du Bætis (Guadalquivir, fleuve espagnol). Là, il rencontra des marins récemment revenus des îles Atlantiques, appelée îles des Bienheureux, qui les lui décrivirent. Dans des notes de bas de page d'une édition de l'ouvrage de 2001, ainsi que dans un article de 2000, Jean-Marie Pailler commente ce passage. Selon lui, la scène se passe probablement en 81 av. J.-C.. Concernant les distances, il dit que  font environ . Cette distance est sans doute aussi fictive que l'évocation du « chenal » séparant les deux îles. Ces incertitudes compliquent l'identification des éléments réels recueillis par des explorateurs, sur lequel a pu se bâtir le mythe. S'agit-il des îles Canaries ? de celles du Cap-Vert ? de Madère ? En tous cas, la description du climat dans le texte, précise, correspond assez exactement au cas des Canaries. La description de ce « paradis terrestre » fournie par l'auteur va bien au-delà de la rapide évocation homérique. Ici, le plus notable est l'attribution de cette « croyance » grecque aux Barbares eux-mêmes. Ces récits des îles sont à mettre au compte des marins. En les écoutant, Sertorius, nouvel Ulysse — rappelons que les Sirènes de l'Odyssée enjôlent par leurs récits plutôt que par leurs chants — se laisse un instant emporter par le rêve. Mais l'attitude des pirates, exclusivement intéressés par les rapines, le ramène aux exigences du réel immédiat.

L'astronome et géographe grec Ptolémée, dans sa Géographie rédigée vers l'an 150, considère que ces îles sont à la limite ouest du monde habité. Il y fait passer le méridien zéro, point de départ de ses mesures de longitude, à l'instar de Greenwich aujourd'hui. Se basant notamment sur les travaux de son prédécesseur Marinos de Tyr, il détermine la distance de ce méridien avec d'autres lieux de la terre, permettant de déterminer leur longitude. Par exemple, dans le premier tome de son ouvrage, il le situe à un peu plus de 5 degrés à l'ouest des bouches du Bætis. Ces îles, telles qu'elles sont mentionnées par Ptolémée, sont classiquement identifiées aux îles Canaries. Par la suite, le méridien de Ferro, passant par la partie occidentale d'El Hierro, île la plus à l'ouest de cet archipel, a été utilisé comme méridien d'origine en Europe, avant d'être remplacé par celui de Greenwich.

.

Selon le biographe romain Philostrate, dans sa Vie d'Apollonios de Tyane, (composée au début du ) : .

Au , Bar-Hebraeus, dans son traité sur « la forme du ciel et de la terre », indique — après s'être référé à Ptolémée — que « les îles fortunées sont au nombre de sept grandes, situées en latitude depuis l'équateur jusqu'au troisième climat. On raconte que leurs habitants étaient plongés dans l'idolâtrie, quand un saint vint près d'eux et leur annonça la parole de l'Évangile ; ils crurent et furent baptisés. D'autres disent que ce sont les fils de Réchab dont il est question dans le prophète Jérémie et qu'ils suivent la loi de Moïse ».

Une tradition, dont Jacques d'Édesse se fait l'écho, raconte comment un certain moine Zozime, désireux de savoir ce qu'étaient devenus les descendants de Réchab, se trouva conduit jusqu'à leur île. Il y demeura en leur compagnie durant sept jours découvrant un peuple pieux, vivant nu et dans une grande innocence, recevant sa nourriture sans effort de certains arbres, et n'ayant plus eu de contact avec le « monde de vanité » depuis leur arrivée sur l'île. Toutefois, étant régulièrement visités par des anges, ils sont devenus chrétiens.

En 1651, le cartographe français Nicolas Sanson publie une carte nommée "Africa Vetus". Elle représente l'Afrique, avec la localisation de toponymes antiques : , les ... et les Îles Fortunées, à l'ouest du continent. Cette même année, le géographe avait publié une carte de l'Afrique à son époque, avec les mêmes îles, désignées cette fois comme étant les Canaries et Madère. Similairement, sur la première carte, les îles  et Hespérides (mythiques) se trouvent à l'emplacement de celles du Cap-Vert sur la seconde.

L'expression «  » est à l'origine du mot « Macaronésie ». Il désigne un ensemble d'îles, à l'ouest de l'Afrique et de l'Europe, dans l'océan Atlantique, composé des archipels des Açores et de Madère, des îles Canaries, des îles du Cap-Vert.

Comparaisons avec d'autres lieux légendaires
Le poète écossais James Macpherson, dans son An introduction to the history of Great Britain and Ireland (1771), affirme que les Britons eux-mêmes ont leur Île Fortunée, située très loin à l'ouest de leur propre pays. Il s'agit de , entourée de tempêtes, nom qu'il traduit en anglais par Noble Island. L'auteur narre ensuite un conte transmis par des bardes écossais qui s'y déroule.

Le mythographe anglais Sabine Baring-Gould consacre aux Îles Fortunées un chapitre de son Curious Myths of the Middle Ages (1866-1868). Il compare ces îles à d'autres îles légendaires des cultures européennes, relevant une tradition d'un lointain paradis occidental. Il cite entre autres l'Atlantide, Méropide, le jardin des Hespérides, Ogygie, Avalon, l'île des Sept Cités, , Flath-Innis, Hvitramannaland, Thierna na oge, etc.

L'entrée consacré aux « Isles of the Blest » de l'édition de 1911 de l'Encyclopædia Britannica les compare aux îles des Phéaciens décrites dans l'Odyssée d'Homère (parue vers la fin du ), Avalon et l'île de Saint Brendan. Il s'agit de terres d'été perpétuel et d'abondance de toutes les bonnes choses. Elle conclut qu'une tradition très ancienne suggère que l'idée d'un tel paradis terrestre était une réminiscence d'un voyage non enregistré à Madère et aux Canaries.

Dans la fiction
Lucien de Samosate décrit son séjour fictif aux îles des Bienheureux dans son récit de voyage imaginaire Histoires vraies, rédigé au .

, dans son poème "The Last Voyage" (figurant dans Lyra Messianica publié en 1864), évoque les îles des Bienheureux dans un vers.

RefoRC / Exhibition / Exhibition North & South: European masterpieces reunited
Exhibition North & South: European masterpieces reunited
Posted: 6 December 2019
To overview A Share
From 25 October 2019 until 26 January 2020 at Museum Catharijneconvent, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
This autumn, Museum Catharijneconvent presents the exhibition North & South: European masterpieces reunited. As it turns out, both the far North and far South of Europe medieval masterpieces have survived that are remarkably similar despite the great distance that separates them. We succeeded in having these rare works of art from the period 1100-1350 travel on this single occasion from Catalonia (Spain) and Norway to Utrecht. From 25 October 2019 until 26 January 2020 visitors will be able to enjoy their astonishing beauty and similarity in style. It will be an absolute 'must see' because art from this early period has hardly survived in Central Europe
Striking similarities
Despite the thousands of miles that lie in between, the collections of medieval church art from Northern and Southern Europe are surprisingly similar, which attests to a remarkable mobility of objects and ideas in the high Middle Ages. The display will include superb painted wooden objects with splendid colours and intriguing narrative scenes. They all originated as altar decorations and were objects related to the ritual of the Mass, which lie at the heart of Medieval culture. They show how fascinating and colourful medieval churches must have been throughout Western Europe. These were the art galleries of the Middle Ages – visiting the exhibition will be a true time travel!
Separated by mountains
The medieval masterpieces from the period 1100-1350 that will be shown have escaped the ravages of time against all odds. They owe their survival partly to their geographical locations. Sheltered by the Pyrenees in the South and the fjords in the North, it is only in Catalonia (Spain) and in Norway that we still find a fair number of these early works of art, most of which stem from small and remote village churches. Similar art works must have existed in Cenral Europe too, but here they have been lost due to iconoclasm, revolutions, changing fashions and a constant urge to innovate.
On foot, horseback and by ship
Beside the spectacular beauty of the works exposed the exhibition also focuses on comparisons between the art of the North and the South. The sculptures and painted panels sometimes seem almost interchangeable. The explanation of this must be sought in the astonishing mobility that characterized medieval Europe. Clerics, knights, merchants and pilgrims journeyed throughout Europe and thus established connections that held even the farthest corners of the continent together. In churches, the same imagery is found all over Europe: a Spanish traveller around the year 1300 would not have had the slightest difficulty in understanding the celebration of Mass in a country church somewhere in Norway. The liturgy, the altar decorations and the use of the Latin language were the same throughout Western Europe.
The Virgin Mary and her contemporaries
The key work around which the exhibition pivots is a statue of the Virgin Mary that probably originates from the Meuse Valley. She was carved and gilded around 1240 and is one of the oldest objects in the collections of Museum Catharijneconvent. The Virgin has a very compelling appeal, even though the Christ child, her crown and arms are now missing. Her fascinating age – she is almost 800 years old, after all – and damaged state provokes many questions such as: What was her function in the medieval church? In what sort of setting should we image her originally? Was she perhaps on an altar, set inside a framing shrine? And how did she manage to survive until today? This exhibition will provide answers to these questions, as our Virgin meets her contemporaries from North and South.
North & South is the result of thorough research carried out in international collaboration. Museum Catharijneconvent is grateful to its partner institutions in this prestigious project: Museu Episcopal in Vic (Catalonia, Spain), Universitetsmuseet in Bergen (Norway), the Museum of Cultural History (University of Oslo, Norway) and the Archbishop's Palace Museum in Trondheim (Norway). North & South casts a fresh light on the striking commonalities that define the medieval art of Western Europe – but which are easily overlooked if the focus is on distinctive features of countries and regions.
Publication and programme
There will be a comprehensive programme of activities surrounding the exhibition, which includes public lectures, city walks of Medieval Utrecht and guided visits. In January, 2020, there will be organized an international symposium. A lavishly illustrated, in-depth publication is being prepared for those who wish to know more.

Since the option first became available, adults returning to school have become a small but steady presence in educational institutes. Even if you're not "college age" anymore, going back to school could enhance your career and help you achieve your goals in life. If you've ever considered this, here are the things you should know before you begin.
Why Do People Go Back To School?
You may not have the same reason for being there as anyone else in your class, and that's okay! What matters is that you're willing to sit down and start learning in a classroom. It may be a little hard to get back in the mindset of an obedient student if you've been a manager or leader for some time now, but you've done it before and you can do it again.
What Sorts Of Educational Opportunities Are Available?
Adults returning to school have all of the class choices that new students do. In many cases, though, you'll also have access to continuing education programs specifically designed for professionals who want to develop specific skills.
These opportunities include studying things like new management techniques, catching up on the latest software, and learning languages and cultures before traveling overseas.
How Long Do Adults Have To Spend In College?
That depends on what you're going for, but in most cases, you won't need to take as many classes as students just out of high school. Many colleges accept Competency-Based Education and Prior Learning Assessments, both of which are fancy phrases for "stuff you already know". If you have ten years of experience in marketing, you probably don't need the introductory classes for your degree.
You may be able to shave off several classes, or even an entire year or two, by taking these sorts of tests.
You're not alone. Most adults returning to school have anxiety. Between work, spending time with your family, and having time for hobbies and entertainments, it can be hard to fit the burden of education into your schedule. Fortunately, there are solutions.
If you're planning to attend a school in-person, chances are you can take advantage of night classes that are easy to fit into your schedule. You can also take online courses instead of sitting in a classroom, which will allow you to proceed at whatever pace works for you. If you can only invest one day a week in your education, chances are there's a school that can work with that.
What Else Should I Know About Going Back To School?
As a member of the adults returning to school, there are several important things to understand before you begin.
It's hard to really feel this if you're taking online classes, but thousands upon thousands of other adults are doing the same thing you're doing. Many of them are just as motivated, busy, and in many cases financially-limited as you.
This is so common that many schools have programs and support staff specifically designed to help people like you. They know that you don't have the same freedom as a traditional student – and, not to sound too cynical about it, they still want your business. If they don't offer enough support, you'll just go somewhere else, so they're incredibly motivated to work with you.
Many states and colleges have grants and scholarships designed for adults, not just traditional students. If you need help, talk to the college and ask about what sorts of options are available. You can also start applying for grants outside the school.
If your workplace is supportive, they may be willing to cover some or all of the costs of your education. In most cases, this is because they want someone in the office with a particular set of skills, and training an existing employee is more affordable than finding and hiring someone entirely new.
If you're going to take online classes – and many adult students do – get ready to study in distracting environments. Between pets, kids, and family events, there's going to be a lot going on.
However, that's no excuse for not finishing your homework. Instead, look for ways of motivating yourself to reach your goals, like playing with a dog every time you finish a major chunk of your work. Education shouldn't feel too dreadful or like a chore, you have to slog through. When you want to finish because there's immediate gratification, things will go much smoother.
If you have kids, encourage them to follow your lead and do their homework at the same time you're doing yours. The last thing you want to do is seem like you don't have all the answers, so that's another bit of motivation to keep studying.
If you're studying with a laptop – and many adult students do so they can do their schoolwork anywhere – be sure to keep it charged. You don't always know what you're going to be doing each day, so keeping it fully charged ensures technical limitations won't stop you from progressing when you can.
There are apps for everything, so of course, there are apps designed for adult students. Ideal apps include features like time management (figure out what you're doing each day so you can free up time), schedules, reminders of what you need to do for your degree, and collections of images, information, and everything else you might need for your homework.
Tech problems happen. Maybe your home will suffer a power outage, or perhaps an older router will break down and force you to get a new one. Don't hope you can avoid these. Instead, plan on them happening by learning which Wi-Fi hotspots are available in your area. This includes on the college's physical campus (if relevant) and for several blocks around your neighborhood.
If one of these spots is available, you can just move to the next and keep working.
Alternately, you can rotate between hotspots on purpose. By regularly moving to new areas, you'll be able to stimulate your creativity and approach your classes with a constant feeling of freshness.
Let's be honest, here: Some things you learned in school before just haven't come up in your life ever since. Most jobs don't require calculus, or long essay writing, or even attaching a footnote to things.
Entry tests are a great way to determine what subjects you need refreshers on. These are not the same as tests that will let you bypass introductory classes because you already know the material.
Most importantly, refreshers may be necessary if you need specific classes to get a degree. For example, you may need to brush up on your math skills, even if that's not the major focus of your education. Some people don't need refreshers, but some do. Don't be stubborn about this because it won't help.
#8: The Degree Matters. Where You Get It Does Not.
There's a tendency to think that you have to attend one of the best schools to impress employers, but that's wrong. All you really need to do is complete the degree while juggling the other responsibilities in your life. That demonstrates you can perform well and accomplish goals while under pressure, and that's far more valuable to employers than figuring out if School A is a little better than School B.
In some areas, the graduation rate for non-traditional students who return to school for an adult education is above 95%. That sounds crazy at first, but it's important to understand this: Most adults know exactly what they're trying to do and which classes they need to take.
This is very different from the so-called traditional students, who don't know what career they're going for or what classes they should take when they first start college. They're told to figure this out, but many of them genuinely can't, and that's why so many of them drop out before finishing their degree.
You're not in the same position. By remaining focused like a laser on the programs that can help you, you'll almost certainly be able to graduate. This is especially true if you save up the money beforehand so you won't have to worry about quitting school if you lose your job or have another disruption in your life.

Hi yall! I am looking into buying a Speedster between 1995 and 1997. Although I have been around performance boats all my life, theese jetboats are completely new to me. Is there any notorious problems involving the Speedsters built in theese years? Also what do I need to look for prior to buying as far as possible mechanical (egine/pump) problems?
I will let the guys that own Speedsters for these years answer these questions for ya. We have a few owners for those years on the site here.
I havn't checked in this section for awhile so I wonder if you bought a boat yet. I'll take a stab at this. Buy the newest boat you can afford. They made improvements every year I think. The '96 had more h/p than the '95 didn't it? The '97 I don't know what was improved but I'm sure there was something. The '98 they went to the single shifter system and single steering cable. Check my post in the "twin 85" section of this site for how I converted my '96 to the single shift cable. One of those years they also went to a single large battery instead of the twin little jetski batteries. Again, sorry I didn't see this sooner to give my .02 on it. What did you buy?
I know this isn't a 95 thru 97 but this looks like a pretty sweet deal on a 99, might want to check out!
Thanks for the info guys, I havent bought anything yet. I am looking at a 96 or 97 because I like way they look and this is just going to be a boat to travel from Ohio to South Fla in the winter time with. My main boat is a 28' Cigarette and its just not practical to tow it all that distance. I was told that in 97 they switched to independant intakes, is this true??
Independant intakes? Do you mean water intakes? They all have completely independant water intakes as far as I know. The twin engine systems are totally seperate. The only thing is that there is one big brain box that controls the electronics for both engines together. At least my '96 does. As far as that Speedster SK on ebay, they still havn't reached the reserve at $3800 as of tonight. I can't imagine that the SK is fast enough. My buddy bought a '98 (I think anyhow) regular Speedster 16 with the twin 800cc engines. I am faster out of the hole and up to near my top speed I'm still even with him. Then he keeps going faster. And his doesn't spin and fly outa the water as well as mine. I feel kind of claustrophic sitting in his with the high sides too. I guess I'm kinda partial to the 14' hulls tho. I would love to hop up my engines but that'll have to wait 'till I have a catastrophic failure that requires rebuilding them.
What kind of affec does saltwater have on 2 stoke engines?? I may consider buying a boat that came from saltwater providing that I can figure out what to look for as far as "saltwater damage" Are the exhausts water jacketed on theese boats?? if so is it possible for saltwater to eat through a jacket and hydrolock an engine?


Now if you would just write this in English.
Do I smell a troll here? Trying to get another "equilateral triangle" thread started?
You forgot to insert your spam link.
Please explain what you are mitering framing the stairway? Your sizes for the parts are typical but can be altered for each application. Most of us plan a stairway in terms of rise and run. The size of the risers are determined by how much space there is between the first level and the upper level. The run is usually determined by how many treads there are but in some cases the stairway can be made steep when space is limited. In this case the treads can be made smaller.
Step #1, throw away construction master iv calc.
Step #2, use a spamulator master iv calc.
Step #3, If you are still stuck, google Ted's Woodworking plans.
ok guys, this is not spam and yes i think ya'll are cute.
i have a deck that where the steps are going is a 45 degree angle. my total rise is from ground to finished height is 26 inches. i am making my finish threads @ 12 inches. so i am cutting my risers, 6.5 rise and 11 inch thread for a total of 3 treads. these will fit the two sides sq. my question is how do i compute the king tread that connects the two that is on a 22.5 degree angle from the sq. ones. strings and straight edge will work, just thought i could get and answer from here. (a sq + b sq = c sq) using 11 inch did not work. thanks, this was my first question to this forum, hope i made your day.
Soon after I made my reply here (post #3), the link in that thread got deleted. If that's not spam...what was it?
I see a lot of guys out there with their electronic gadgets that they hope will allow them to push enough buttons to come up with a simple answer.
I also see a lot of stuff in the burn pile 'cause they trusted these things.
As an old timer, I use mockups so I can see it.
Take some scraps and clamps and screws and build a life-size model of it right on the deck so you can see it.
I get the impression that you have purchased precut stringers to build your stairs. I make my own so the angle is not something under consideration except for fitting it in. Trying to rise 26" in three steps is a little too steep in my opinion. Your rise would have to be a little more than 8 5/8" per step to do it in three steps. Your 6 1/2" riser will work for four steps however the 6 1/2" includes the thickness of the tread. If you have a precut stringers you can recut them to achieve this. Some people cut them where the top and bottom riser is smaller to keep from doing this but I personally don't like it.
I have a construction calculator also and it is quite useful for many things but the old fashioned way is still the best for laying out stairs. I use a framing square and stair gauges. Just attache the gauges to the edge of the square so that when you rest it against the edge of the stringer it will mark the rise and run you desire, mark, slide to the next position. Once one stringer is cut, check it for fit and use it as a pattern for the others.
I know that a 5/12 angle on the square is 22.5 degrees. 6.5/11 is not the same aspect ratio and would be a different angle. If memory serves me, seems like stair stringers are usually about a 37 degree angle or so.
There are whole books written on how to use a framing square. An amazing tool if one takes the time to learn how to use one.

Антоніо Шортіно (Antonio Sciortino, 25 січня 1879, Зеббудж — 10 серпня 1947) — визначний мальтійський скульптор. У своїй творчості пройшов еволюцію від реалізму до футуризму, відчув сильний вплив Родена, потім виробив свій оригінальний стиль. З 1911 по 1936 рік був директором Британської школи в Римі (British School at Rome), потім з 1937 року — куратором Музею витончених мистецтв у Валлетті.

Перед Першою світовою війною скульптор брав участь у декількох міжнародних конкурсах з виготовлення пам'ятника Т. Г. Шевченку для Києва. Неодноразово перероблений Шортіно проєкт пам'ятника так і не був реалізований.

480 Fircrest Drive in Ukiah is a five-bedroom in the hills of Mendocino County available for $1.599 million.
Two hours from the Golden Gate Bridge and about 45 minutes from Mendocino, Ukiah is secluded but not far-flung. Such a distance from the city keeps the region private, yet accessible to Bay Area residents searching for a low-key hideaway.
Highway 101 cuts alongside Ukiah as the Russian River twists to the east. The Ukiah Municipal Airport is a few minutes away, offering executive aircraft a convenient spot to touch down for a weekend getaway.
Enter 480 Fircrest Drive, a five-bedroom, five-bathroom home with nearly 5,000 square feet of living space.
"It's an extraordinary custom home that sits on a knoll with city and vineyard views," said Peter Colbert of Sotheby's International Realty, who is listing the custom home for $1.599 million.
sparkling pool that's fed by an assortment of man-made waterfalls.
Sections of stacked stone articulate a traditional facade studded with peaked gables and dormer windows. The angular footprint bows the home toward the driveway, and the front door stands within a shady portico. The same material palette is used along the rear facade with wraparound decks overlooking the pool and spa.
The home opens to a tiled, two-story foyer that segues into an en suite bedroom with a fireplace. A right turn off the foyer ascends to an enticing great room sheltered by a vaulted ceiling. Here, stacked stone identical to that adorning the facade fashions a wood-burning fireplace. Repeated use of the material evokes architectural continuity inside and out.
Skylights and tall windows brighten a living area that opens into an open kitchen with stone counters, integrated appliances and a cooktop built into an alcove.
Anchoring the far end of this level is the master suite, a getaway defined by a walk-in closet and spa bathroom with jetted tub.
Abundant built-ins like ceiling speakers, a bar counter and another gas fireplace await in a sprawling game room that opens to a view deck with the outdoor kitchen.
Organic agriculture plays a prominent role in Ukiah, but the region's fruits and vegetables aren't all that wind up on menus. The town is home to Ukiah Brewing Company, America's first certified organic brew pub. Ukiah has also carved out a niche for itself as a grower of organic wine grapes. Of the 17,000 acres of vineyards in Mendocino County, roughly a quarter of them grow certified organic grapes.
The Mendocino County appellation is home to 10 American Viticultural Areas including Potter Valley, Redwood Valley, Yorkville Highlands and Anderson Valley. Redwood and Porter valleys are north of the property, while Anderson Valley and Yorkville Highlands stretch to the south.
Address: 480 Fircrest Drive, Ukiah.
Features: This palatial five-bedroom set on 2.25 acres near downtown Ukiah hosts an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, as well as wraparound decks overlooking the pool, patios and verdant landscaping. The home includes an office with a gas fireplace and private entrance.


Typha Latifolia in Cutler, CA can be a real problem for municipal and home owners ponds and lakes as well as golf course ponds throughout the State of California. Now there is help with controlling and removing Typha Latifolia in Cutler. See our aquamogs at DK Environmental.
Water plants are plants that have adapted to residing in marine situations (salt water and / or freshwater). They're referred to as hydrophytes and / or macrophytes. All these plants need to have special modifications for existing submerged in water, or even at the water's surface. The typical variation is aerenchyma, but floating foliage and perfectly dissected leaves are also common. Water plants can only flourish in water or in soil which is entirely saturated with water. They are subsequently a typical component to wetlands.
Aquatic plants are most of the time an advantageous part of the water body, whether it's a lake or maybe a pond. The water vegetation is a source of nutrition, cover and oxygen to the creatures dwelling in the pond or body of water. Having said that remaining unchecked a majority of these aquatic plants will be able to propagate speedily and constrain the activities in the water-feature and / or lagoon. That's when these aquatic plants end up water weeds.
A straightforward meaning of a water weed is a plant which grows (usually too densely) inside an area in a way that it obstructs the usefulness and / or enjoyment of the particular area. Numerous common examples of aquatic plants that could grow to be weeds are water milfoil, duck weed, pondweed, hydrilla, water hyacinth, cattail, bulrush, ludwigia, and many more. They will often grow throughout ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, navigation channels, storm water basins and channels, wetlands and lagoons. The growth may be due to a wide variety of components such as surplus nutrients in the water or the intro of rapidly-growing exotic varieties. The difficulties caused by water unwanted weeds are many, which range from unsightly growth and nuisance aromas to constricting of waterways, flood damage, motorboat damage, and in many cases drowning and impairment of water quality.
Generally speaking it will be far better as well as cost-effective to use an expert aquatic weed control firm to take out and control your water weed troubles. Within California essentially the most competent organization is DK Environmental. DK Environmental can be found in the San Francisco Bay area yet takes on aquatic weed removals everywhere in the State of California. The machines that DK Environmental uses is rather unique to the western U . S. Utilizing its fleet of aquamog amphibians DK can access any sort of water system.

Home Lakers News: Dwight Howard Says "We're Not Done Yet"
Lakers News: Dwight Howard Says "We're Not Done Yet"
Lakers' Showtime Dreams Return, But This Time in Shape of the Spurs
Elizabeth Benson
It was quite fitting how the Lakers ended the regular season on Wednesday night. The Houston Rockets had control of most of the first three quarters and were exposing the Lakers' greatest weakness: their transition defense.
While the Rockets maintained a cushion for these three quarters, the Lakers somehow managed to stay in the hunt. Then, they truly began to fight back. It may have taken overtime to seal the deal, but the Lakers showed that when they play to win, they are not a team to overlook.
—- Check out this wallpaper of Dwight Howard, Laker big man and embracing the legacy! —-
That was the sentiment Dwight Howard talked about after their win on Wednesday. He also gave everyone a little message that every Lakers fan should enjoy (per Dave McMenamin of ESPNLA):
"Everybody counted us out. But one thing I told the guys is we've been through so much that could have made us separate from each other," Howard said. "But we stayed strong, we stayed together and we won for each other."
"We're happy that we're in the playoffs, but we're not done yet."
It has been a crazy season. Despite being written off earlier in the season due to a chaotic and circus-like atmosphere surrounding the purple and gold, they not only made it to the postseason, but they were able to land the match-up they wanted; a date with the San Antonio Spurs.
The fans aren't done yet as well. The craziness of the regular season is now behind them. Finally. Now, the focus is solely on the postseason. The team and the fans will take it one game at a time.
What about all the drama during the season? As long as the result is winning, Lakers Nation will accept it. It is Hollywood after all.

You know–times when you struggle over a particular situation, you have two different points of view and both of you seem to say things that irritate each other.
But that passes, you find your equilibrium and you get along once again.
If you're saying you have a rocky relationship, that usually means there's constant disagreement, it feels unstable and is full of difficulties that never get resolved.
A rocky relationship is just what it says–full of rocks that you trip over or have to carefully walk around.
If you're finding yourself in the middle of a rocky relationship the most important thing to understand is where the rocks come from.
Most people believe that the rocks that cause all the problems, pain and disappointment are outside of them.
They believe if their partner (or other person) changed and thought like they thought, those rocks would disappear.
But the truth is that those rocks come from your thoughts that you believe, make real and your consciousness brings to life.
It's the thoughts you continue to relive over and over and over again that create the rocks in your relationship.
It's virtually impossible to have a smooth-running relationship if you or your partner keeps putting rocks in the road.
She was cheated on in her previous marriage and she couldn't stop thinking about the probability of it happening again in her new relationship.
Unconsciously, she put "rocks" in the road of her new relationship every time she became suspicious and grilled her boyfriend over what she imagined him doing (and he actually wasn't doing).
She was jealous, constantly wary, blaming her boyfriend, waiting for the other shoe to drop–and to be cheated on once again.
She knew she had to do something about her rocky relationship because he was beginning to pull away from her so she came to us for coaching.
During our time together, she saw that she was creating those "rocks" in her relationship by her constant thoughts and fears about being cheated on.
She saw that she didn't have to believe those thoughts that nagged at her, always under the surface.
As time went on, she saw that those thoughts faded into the background when she no longer gave life to them.
She was able to relax and have a "normal" relationship with a great guy.
Like Molly, if you're in a rocky relationship, you can choose another road to go down.
You can see those rocks for what they are.
When you allow your thinking to settle without trying to fix anything or hold onto old fears, new thought will appear.
And when new thought appears, you'll always know what to do next.
