The ERASMUS Programme – studying in Europe and moreChanging lives, opening minds for 25 years !
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2012, ERASMUS is the most successful student exchange programme in the world. Each year, more than 230 000 students study abroad thanks to the Erasmus programme. It also offers the opportunity for student placements in enterprises, university staff teaching and training, and it funds co-operation projects between higher education institutions across Europe.
Erasmus became part of the EU's Lifelong Learning Programme in 2007, covering new areas such as student placements in enterprises (transferred from the Leonardo da Vinci Programme), university staff training and teaching for business staff.
Many studies show that a period spent abroad not only enriches students' lives in the academic and professional fields, but can also improve language learning, intercultural skills, self-reliance and self-awareness. Their experiences give students a better sense of what it means to be a European citizen. In addition, many employers highly value such a period abroad, which increases the students' employability and job prospects. Staff exchanges have similar beneficial effects, both for the people participating and for the home and host institutions.

Q: Send partial objects with only changed fields to Web API and Entity Framework WebApi and EF POCOs work really well together. An issue I've been thinking on is that some objects can become really quite large over time. They can have lots of properties that map back to columns in the database. With these objects it would be rare to ever update more than one or two fields at a time so it begs the question, why require all the fields to do the full trip back from client to server to database.
Some JavaScript frameworks provide the option as to whether to send all fields or just changed ones back to the server so client side is clean and simple.
Server side is a little bit more of a challenge from what I see. The serializer will step in and try to map some json or xml to a type. JSON.NET for example handles missing values well provided the corresponding properties in the object are nullable.
Reattaching the deserialized model back to entity framework on the other hand is where things get tricky. The default WebApi template for a controller does it in one line:
db.Entry(user).State = EntityState.Modified;

This obviously sets the whole object to modified. It's of course possible to set individual properties to modified rather than the whole object and I would assume this means EF is a little more clever and only sends the modified properties back in the SQL UPDATE.
So the problem here is, how do I know what properties are updated? I only get a object back in my controller method so I cant ask the serializer what properties it pulled in (even if that was possible for a given serializer).
If I have a list of properties then I could set current values with their state to modified in EF and hopefully that should result in my clean db query.
The other perhaps more obvious option is to first retrieve the object I want to update from a database, and modify only the changed properties one by one on the retrieved object or if EF has support for it, perhaps I can pass it the unattached object and have it do this itself. This isn't as desirable an option as it does mean a whole database read where the whole point of the exercise is efficiency. What we would be doing is trading the clients http efficiency and bandwidth for hit on server to db efficiency.
So to me it seems if I want to do this on the server, I'm between a rock and a hard place. WebApi and EF do most of the work, but at the cost of flexibility. I'm looking for options or angles that I haven't mentioned in hope of a simple solution that doesn't throw away one of these two great technologies.

A:
How do I know what properties are updated?

I think you will not get that information. Default serializers don't expect that you would like to know any details. Their functionality is to give you an object and they do exactly that. If you want to know details you must do deserialization yourselves - it either means writing your deserializer or accepting raw message in the action and parse it.
You can also try hardcode some tracking into entity itself and "record" which properties were set during deserialization but it is dependent on serializer if it will work or not because if deserialization sets these values as well it will be useless.
EF and WebAPI works together when you use whole entities. Once you start using partial data transfers you must put your own logic into the game.

The South Korean government has required that teenagers install a spy app on their smartphones. Having the app is compulsory for teens – their phones won't work unless it is installed. When installed, it provides parents with a means to see what sites are being accessed, block sites and send warning notifications.
Even in a society that is more accepting of such paternalistic state control than western Europe, in a culture regularly referred to as collectivist, the Korean government's requirement to install its Smart Sheriff app or one of the government-approved alternatives has attracted lively debate. Is there a case for such measures?
In the West we have become used to patronising advice on food and health and safety-related prescriptions. We also generally accept some form of legislation where our long-term well-being is at stake, with special consideration given to minors. For example, rules about who is allowed to drive cars or consume addictive, harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco.
But surely the internet is full of good and bad things alike? If we accept state-prescribed parental control over young people's existence online, why wouldn't we also demand full 24-hour CCTV monitoring of their offline existence too?
There are some fundamental differences between online and offline spaces – and these touch upon how humans work psychologically. Imagine that a child ventures out, alone, into a large city of average safety. Whether you are comfortable or not with this thought, a number of factors lower the risks of harm.
For example, the child will be visible and identifiable as a child to numerous people. The time the child is away is somewhat proportionate to the distance he or she can cover. The urban environment is segmented in a way that public space slowly blends into not-so-public space, and potential sources of harm are usually visible and well-defined.
But all of this applies only very weakly to the online world, where there is little resistance to those who wish to enter – or have stumbled across – harmful places. Virtual space is human-made and does not come with the natural physical boundaries and rules the world is otherwise automatically subject to.
Our early-years growth – and this is a process that takes years – is typically spent coming to terms with navigating the real, offline world. In contrast, making an assessment of the semantic content of a website is something that a lot of adults struggle with – let alone young beginners.
Do teenagers need watching, or should they be left to make their own mistakes?
Maybe then this is simply a case for guided development? Sadly, researchers know very little about the development of internet literacy and, in general, current debate demonstrates that neither parents nor politicians know very much about it either. Mediation by parents plays a crucial role in this development – but there are no simple recipes.
The underlying reasons for this state of misinformation could be very simple: while the internet facilitates and encourages content creation and sharing, it doesn't encourage the sharing of screen time. Sitting together in front of a computer or looking jointly at a smartphone display is only done for specific online activities such as showing each other content that has already been found. The process itself of navigating and searching the internet is far less attractive for sharing – users young and old are much more likely to interact on the internet than about the internet – so the process of learning is solitary.
There are other challenges associated with monitoring internet use. Controlling access by blocking particular websites and search terms doesn't account for what happens within widely accepted websites, such as social media giants like Facebook and Twitter. In fact it's in this very area that most research into the negative effects of online activities has focused, such as about the grooming of minors. While some sites are closed to younger users, they are only technically so – on the basis of legal terms and conditions that are rarely if ever enforced. Again, the way we communicate online has vastly reduced the physical, social and cultural constraints we experience face-to-face.
So it's close to impossible to monitor children's online activities within particular web services without demanding fundamental changes to these services. Simple address blocking of dangerous web sites will capture only a tiny part of risky online activities. And sending alerts to parents cannot be really effective if parents lack the skills and understanding to act on them appropriately.
This is the dilemma: rules and requirements such as South Korea's app are not merely examples of state oppression. The internet is different from the real world, and based on our current knowledge there is nothing to suggest that young users are well equipped to avoid harm online. But the Korean intervention, however, is not likely to be effective. For the moment, we're back to urging youngsters to browse responsibly.

At Novelty Imports, we are pleased to offer one of the widest range of novelties online, in particular, our light up novelties.

Some of our best selling items are our fluffy, flashing bunny ears. They are appropriate for all ages but are proving more and more popular for hen nights and girl's nights out. Aspiring bunny girls don't need to worry about the light going out mid-party.

One of the most popular companies these days that enable people to get the right solution to their healthcare needs is Plexus. This company focuses on the healthcare needs of people by providing with products that include health supplements, personal care items and even products that help them with their weight loss journey. Yet are you aware of the fact that it is not only their customers that concern Plexus? Recently, Plexus started a campaign in the hopes of helping end world hunger by giving out packs of groceries to poor areas in certain communities where tons of households are financially challenged. The main goal for this campaign is to help people reach out to the less privileged by simply purchasing Plexus products because now, they can do philanthropic deeds in their own simple ways.
For Christopher Pair Garza, the President of Operations and International at Plexus, the main goal for this campaign is to help Plexus make possible their advocacy of giving back to the underprivileged and help them in the simplest ways. Garza himself admitted that he grew up in a household that is also challenged in this aspect which is why he has thought of looking back to his past and thinking about how many people can he help if he uses this opportunity to provide for all the needs of those who have been in the same situation as he had to go through before. This is why they have thought of this campaign that provides families with grocery items to aid them in their finances at home. But giving people free food is not Garza's intention because he also provides them with inspiring talks that will hopefully help them get started and even offers them small business opportunities as well.
There are a lot of people who have to acknowledge Garza's efforts into making this campaign a reality for he insists that this will never really be a success without the efforts of Plexus as a company. Garza also takes the opportunity to thank the people who have continuously supported this campaign to the present as it will never be a success without their help. Plexus conducted this campaign where for every purchase of a certain product, Plexus charities donate the monetary equivalent of one meal to their global partners in an effort to help them fight hunger. The good thing about this campaign is that you can evidently see how successful it is since it has now catered to international communities given its humble beginnings of only providing assistance to the neighboring areas. This alone is a pride for Garza and the entire Plexus company.


Starting up a Irish dance school in Lexington from the ground up is a lot of work. But we're thrilled to have a running start as we build our community-based program.
We've already kicked things off with a series of free Irish dance classes in downtown Lexington at McCarthy's Irish Bar in the Spiders Well. Our first class was such fun that we're doing it again next week. Check out our Facebook event for the details, but consider joining us on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Our next big venture is coming up in the next few weeks as we introduce students from Kiddie Kapers & Company Dance Program to Irish dance. Students attending the summer camp offered by Lexington Parks and Recreation will get a head start on the basics during their week-long program.
This fall, we make our official debut as an Irish dance school in Lexington with classes offered through Artworks at the Carver School. We're thrilled to be teaching through our community's parks and recreation program and look forward to welcoming new Irish dancers from throughout the area, as well as students already studying with the Kiddie Kapers and Dance Attack programs.
Last month, we reached out to our friends across the country for a little help in getting our Irish dance school in Lexington off the ground by asking for donations to our used shoe bin. We're thrilled to share our first donations!
You can still make donations of lightly used or outgrown dance shoes and help us fill our box. Send us an email at info @ bluegrassceili.com to let us know what you can donate and get our shipping address.

We are seeking feedback on a draft landscape plan and a name for the new park at the old Redcliffs School site.
Consultation on a landscape plan for a park at old Redcliffs School site has now closed. We heard from 51 individuals and groups. You can read their feedback [PDF, 39 KB] and view the revised landscape plan [PDF, 2.4 MB]. From Friday 15 March (afternoon) you can also read the staff report, which includes the recommendations that will be presented to the Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board on 20 March, 2019.
The Ministry of Education (MoE) is currently rebuilding Redcliffs School on the old Redcliffs Park site. The old school land is controlled and managed by the Council, as a recreation reserve and buildings are currently being demolished. Following the sale of land to the MoE, $1.2million is available to develop a new park. The area is slightly smaller than the former Redcliffs Park (by 643m²) but there is room to replace all the facilities of the former park. The existing playground, furniture, car park and a community building will be kept. A junior and intermediate football field, toilet, drinking fountain, additional furniture and new signage will be constructed. A new perimeter path is also proposed. The climbing net from the old park will be relocated to the existing play area.
If there is any surplus money once all of the planned work is complete, we can use this to fund projects for the future recreation spaces (2 on the landscape plan). You can share ideas for affordable projects in the attached submission form.
The site is also being considered as a possible location for a skate park as part of the Bays Area Skate project.
Ferrymead Bays Football Club used the Redcliffs Park sports fields in winter. Football will continue to have access to the sports fields in the new park.
We will replace like-for-like with a junior and intermediate field, landscaping and appropriate irrigation and drainage, if required. We aim to have the sports fields constructed by winter 2019 and ready for use once grass has established.
The decision on which trees remain in the park was made by the Community Board earlier this year. The large Elm and English Oak in the centre of the field will be remain, along with several other native and exotic plants on site. Landscape planting will be included along the back fence of the park.
The lease arrangements for the community building on the site are still to be determined. However, if you are, or know of a group who would like to be kept updated about this process, please let us know by ticking the box on the submission form attached. There is no formal vehicle access to the building.
Geotechnical advice is that the site is suitable as a park. With fencing and planting between the park and the cliff base.
Redcliffs and Te Ihutai (Avon Heathcote Estuary) make up a significant Maori cultural landscape. As part of the land exchange with the MoE, Rūnanga asked for involvement in the development of future plans and we will work with them throughout the consultation period to explore opportunities.
A Te Reo name - Te Papa Kura, has been gifted by local iwi. Papa is a word for park and Kura can mean both school and red. We are asking for feedback on the full name for the new park.
Once consultation has closed, the project team will analyse the feedback and produce a staff report which will go to the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board for approval.

Building substantially on a previously funded NSF Networking Infrastructure for Education grant (Union City Online: An Architecture for Networking and Reform), CCT conducted a longitudinal research study of a district-initiated project to supply a cohort of 40 incoming freshman and 20 teachers and administrators with network-enabled laptop computers for use at school and at home. The district has committed three years of funding to this endeavor, known as Project Hiller, and will add 40 students and 10 teachers to the project in years two and three. CCT investigated differences between students and teachers who have been given laptops and their counterparts at the same high school who have more limited, school-only access to technology.
The Union City School District, with its initiatives to build a community-wide networking infrastructure, designed to support a comprehensive program of educational reform, offers an exemplary context in which to examine the potential of new technologies to support teaching and learning. The setting for Project Hiller offers a unique opportunity to deeply investigate the role that ubiquitous technologies can play in a context where many of the initial challenges associated with urban school reform and technology integration have been overcome.
Student learning. What role are these technologies playing in how and what students learn? What role are the district's educational reform initiatives playing? Are students' perceptions of their learning, their abilities, their goals and objectives, and their attitudes toward their teachers changing as a result of their involvement with Project Hiller? Are there observable differences between Project Hiller students and comparable groups of non-Project Hiller students?
Teacher beliefs and practices. How do teachers make use of and integrate technologies into their classroom practices and their professional lives? Do teachers perceptions of students' abilities change? Do teachers' relationships and practices with their colleagues and with school administrators change? Do differences emerge between Project Hiller teachers and the non-Project Hiller teachers? What observed changes can be attributed to teachers' participation in Project Hiller as opposed to the district's reform initiatives?
Administrators' roles. Do administrators' perceptions of students and teachers change over time? Are observed changes attributable to administrators' participation in Project Hiller? Do the administrators' attitudes toward and perceptions about students' families change?
Parent involvement. Do parents' attitudes toward their children's school change over the course of the project? Do parents' beliefs about their children's abilities change? Do parents and other family members make use of the portable technology, and if so how? Does parental involvement in their children's school change over time?
The research will generate findings that can be used by national, state, and local policy makers, local education advocates, and urban community leaders to provide concrete evidence of what is possible - of what students can learn and do, both for themselves and for their communities - when long-term investment in technology is partnered with reform of curriculum and teaching.

Roses Are Black
Ghost Hounds
Review Date: November 6, 2019
Boomerocity readers know that we love getting turned on to great, up-and-coming talent who we feel you guys would love. Boy, do we ever have a great discovery to turn y'all on! The group is a great rock and roll band, Ghost Hounds, and they're amazing!
For a new-ish band, they're already on the fast track to greatness. For instance, they've opened for the Rolling Stones this past summer, Bob Seger recently, as well as ZZ Top.
Not too shabby, huh?
On top of all this, they've just dropped their new album, Roses Are Black, and you're not going to believe who they hauled in to play on it: Slash (yes, Slash!), the legendary Kenny Aronoff (go-to drummer for too many people, tours, and albums to name), Reese Wynans (Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Joe Bonamassa), and Michael Rhodes (bassist who, like Kenny, has played with a ton of people). All that, and it's engineered by the legendary Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin).
The album is straight on rock and roll that the way it is meant to be written, performed, recorded, and delivered. I'll even go as far as to say that this is THE album by an up-and-coming rock act to buy in 2019.
Yeah, it's that good.
Lot's of original material on the disc but, if you want a calling card, you've got to listen to their cover of the Cliff Richard hit, Devil Woman. Already a great tune, this cover takes it to a whole new level.
I'm not going to be at all surprised that these guys will also be a crossover hit on the Country side of music (think Keith Urban or Darius Rucker, sound wise). Just sayin'.
Yeah, these guys are great. Buy the disc and keep an eye on them. I sure am.
September, 2011 You know that you have a good relationship where, when they answer the call you...

ARLINGTON, Va. – When the Capitals visit the White House on Monday to celebrate winning the 2018 Stanley Cup, Braden Holtby will not be among them. Citing his values, the Canadian netminder said Friday that he would "respectfully decline" the invitation.
"It's one of those things that we have to think about, but with me, I've got to stay true to my values, and I'm going respectfully decline the offer," Holtby said.
The news that the Caps would be making the traditional White House visit broke on Tuesday. As one of the team's most outspoken political activists, it was not known whether Holtby would accept the invitation or not.
Citing his support of the LGBTQ community as "one of the factors" in his decision, Holtby said it ultimately was not difficult to reach the conclusion to decline the invitation.
Holtby now joins teammates Brett Connolly and Devante Smith-Pelly who had previously declared they would not accept a White House invitation.

The Spartan Way
Michigan State's many legal clinics assist residents all over the state
Published in 2011 Michigan Super Lawyers magazine
By Beth Taylor on December 12, 2011
Few states have been hit as hard by the economic downswing as Michigan. That's why the helping hand extended by Michigan State University College of Law students, through an impressive assortment of legal clinics and outreach programs, is particularly welcomed by the community.
"We're just kind of at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of economic prosperity," says Michele LaForest Halloran, director of the law school's clinical programs, of her home state. "We've had huge unemployment rates. People are really suffering here, not only from foreclosure but from unemployment."
So Halloran located an old bookmobile at the Kalamazoo County Public Library and had it converted last year to a mobile law clinic. Students now traverse the Great Lakes State bringing legal services to residents who can't make the trip to East Lansing.
The law school also expanded its housing clinic over the past year. Once focused mainly on evictions and landlord-tenant and security-deposit disputes, the clinic now reaches out to homeowners facing foreclosure. There is no shortage of these cases: "an overabundance, unfortunately, in Michigan," Halloran says.
Also in 2011, MSU's law school launched a civil rights clinic at the request of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in Grand Rapids. Its mission is to assist prisoners with civil rights claims related to the conditions of their confinement. In one case, an inmate was not allowed to call his family, even if he prepaid for the call. In another, a prisoner alleged that excessive force by guards aggravated a neck condition, which then required surgery.
In addition to helping clients, the new clinic gives students much-needed courtroom experience. "While other clinical programs have some sort of trial involvement, these are highly sophisticated trials in federal district court," says Halloran. "To be able to put that on your resume, and to garner the skills associated with doing that—it's a tremendous boon to the students."
The law school already offered several clinics as part of its program, including a tax clinic. Last year, students represented a woman battling the IRS over a two-year limitation on how long a taxpayer could have to challenge liability for an ex-spouse's tax violations. Though this issue had never been brought before a court, the students did such a good job of preparing their trial briefs that the government dropped its case.
Other MSU outreach projects include presentations at various events for the homeless, participation in seminars for small-business owners, and programs for immigrants. Nor is the law school content with its current slate of hands-on offerings. An Urban Food, Farm & Agriculture project, which was spurred by a grant that involves creating farming opportunities on vacant land in Detroit, began in January.
"It's really kind of my favorite new program," says Halloran. "We could create a farming opportunity for local residents, and also create a venue for bringing fresh farm produce to the tables of people who live in the urban center." The law school's role would be meeting the legal needs of the various entities that are working on the project. Halloran hopes this leads to yet another legal clinic that will help the community and bring another educational opportunity to the school's approximately 960 law students.
Says Halloran, "Every time we make a new clinical opportunity available to our students—and we try to be very diverse in our offerings—the students react with tremendous encouragement and enthusiasm."

Aiming for a Publishing Deal: Sometime you just have to get on with it.
Have you ever spent three hours ironing, finished up, put the board and the iron away, only then to realise that you have missed the six shirts on the line?
Recently, the majority of my paid writing jobs have been educational resources. After months of work, editing, and peer review I wrongly assumed that I had crossed the finish line. They are now published and on sale! Finished. Pat myself on the back. Walk away and start something new.
Of course I didn't factor the changes in curriculum for 2014.
1. Complete a cross-reference table to insert at the start of your resource after the Teacher's Introduction. This table should match your lessons/activities/worksheets to the pre-Sept 2014 Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening Assessment Foci, and levels where appropriate. This is for teachers to use as guidance only as we recognize many teachers still value these. Please use the attached template.
2. Remove all other references to the pre-Sept 2014 AFs or levels throughout the remainder of the resource.
4. Add any notes to your Teacher's Introduction that acknowledges the new curriculum requirements and how your resource will help support teachers.
I'm now heavily committed to my MA in Creative Writing. I'm in a lets be creative and get words down on a page. I really don't want to do this task before me...but I'm also a professional who quite likes getting paid.
So with a sad and heavy heart I realised I just had to get on with it.
Aaargh. I hope it is relatively simple and not too time consuming - and that you can get back to where your heart is.
I haven't done any ironing in years, thank goodness. I do understand what you mean though. Good luck with it.

Toys "R" Us, Babies "R" Us Ordered to Pay in Pricing Error Settlement
The inspections were done between late 2009 and mid-2012 and "revealed a significant pattern of inaccuracies in the check stand prices" officials said
By R. Stickney	• Published December 2, 2013 • Updated on December 2, 2013 at 11:15 am
The national retail chain Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us has been ordered to pay $178,730 in a legal settlement over pricing errors at the companies' Southern California locations.
More than 4,000 pricing inaccuracies were found as a result of an undercover investigation involving San Diego County and Los Angeles County prosecutors.
The inspections were done between late 2009 and mid-2012 and "revealed a significant pattern of inaccuracies in the check stand prices" officials said.
Overcharges occurred in 5 percent of all purchases.
On Monday, the Delaware-based company which owns and operates more than 40 stores in Southern California agreed to pay investigative costs of $28,730 and $150,000 in civil penalties to be divided between the two counties.
Under the terms of the settlement, entered without admission of liability, Toys "R" Us must launch an additional internal compliance program that reports annually to the Los Angeles and San Diego District Attorneys' Offices.

Christ at the Check Post? US Ambassador's Report on West Bank Christians
What Stephen Sizer, Gary Burge, Colin Chapman, Lyn Hybels, Naim Ateek, Sammy & Alex Awad, Salim Munyaner and Tony Campolo Don't Want You to Know
Israel Today Magazine
Historian: Israel safest place in Mideast for Christians
The steep drop in the number of Christians living in the Palestinian Authority-controlled territories is often blamed on Israel. But Middle East historian and Israel's current ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, says that a similar erosion of Christian populations in other countries in the region suggests the Palestinian narrative is simply not true, and that Israel is in fact the safest place in the Middle East for Christians today.
"As 800,000 Jews were once expelled from Arab countries, so are Christians being forced from lands they've inhabited for centuries," Oren wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
"In Egypt, 200,000 Coptic Christians fled their homes last year after beatings and massacres by Muslim extremist mobs. Since 2003, 70 Iraqi churches have been burned and nearly a thousand Christians killed in Baghdad alone, causing more than half of this million-member community to flee. Conversion to Christianity is a capital offense in Iran... Saudi Arabia outlaws private Christian prayer. ...[and] since the Hamas takeover of Gaza in 2007, half the Christian community has fled," explained Oren.
By contrast, Oren sought to remind readers that prior to Israel's surrender of Bethlehem and other Christian cities to Yasser Arafat's PLO in 1995, the Palestinian Arab Christian population was actually growing. But today, Bethlehem's Christians have been reduced from 20 percent of the population to a mere 5 percent.
And that can hardly be blamed on Israel, considering that the Christian population in those territories still controlled by the Jewish state continues to flourish.
"Since Israel's founding in 1948, its Christian communities have expanded more than 1,000%," wrote Oren. "Christians are prominent in all aspects of Israeli life, serving in the Knesset, the Foreign Ministry and on the Supreme Court. They are exempt from military service, but thousands have volunteered and been sworn in on special New Testaments printed in Hebrew."
Instead, it is the same Islamic menace that is driving Christians out of the rest of the region that is also negatively impacting the Palestinian Arab church.
Oren recalls that as a government representative in 1994 he was sent to meet with clergy members in Bethlehem ahead of the city's handover. Anticipating their new position of power over local Christians, Hamas activists had spray-painted the terror group's name on the Church of the Nativity. The clergy "were despondent but too frightened to file a complaint," recounts Oren.
As a non-Jewish believer in Jesus living in Israel, I can fully support Oren's assessment. Israel is a safe haven for Christians. We are fully accepted and respected. Oren acknowledges that there are incidents of intolerance, and that is true, but it is also true of "Christian" nations like America, Germany or the UK.
To suggest that Israel is an oppressor of Christians, especially a purposeful oppressor, is a gross misrepresentation and a disservice to those Christians who truly are being oppressed and driven out by other forces.

What Does Stephen Merchant Look Like as Caliban in 'Logan'?
When it comes to comic book movies, some actors completely nail their character and are forever entwined with that role. Robert Downey Jr. comes to mind for his portrayal of Tony Stark in the Marvel Studios films. Ben Affleck looks like it will be the same for him playing Batman after nailing it in one try for the DC films. Of course, when it comes to capturing the iconic roles, none have done it better than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in all of Fox's X-Men films. Even though he is gigantic compared to his comic book counterpart he's essentially Wolverine, and no one can replace him in the role. Fox pretty much build their X-Men cinematic universe around his character as he has been in more movies than any of the other characters. They even swapped Kitty Pride for him in the Days of Future Past film. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. After playing as Wolverine in more than 8 films, Jackman is ready to hang up his claws. His final appearance as Wolverine will be in the upcoming third solo Wolverine film.
More 'Wolverine 3' Rumors: What Villains Will Wolverine Face?
There are some new rumors floating around the Internet about Hugh Jackman's last run at Wolverine. We've already heard that Wolverine 3 will be "R" rated, include Patrick Stewart's Professor X, and be set in the future drawing heavily on the Old Man Logan story line. This latest bit comes from the Nerdist, reporting a source close to the production, that Wolverine will be facing not just Boyd Holbrook's as yet un-named original villain, but a number of familiar Wolverine adversaries.
When Hugh Jackman was first cast as Wolverine in Bryan Singer's X-Men, there was a great deal of trepidation on the part of fans. How was this unknown, musical theatre Aussie with about a foot on Logan going to be able to portray Marvel's favorite Canucklehead? Now, it's almost hard to imagine anyone else in the role, but that's exactly what fans are going to have to do after Jackman's final outing as Wolverine is released next year. Information about the film is coming ever faster as production really gets underway and today brings news of a couple more actors who will join Jackman for his last adamantium-clawed adventure.

Bei Fake Surround handelt es sich um Tonproduktionen, bei denen Stereoproduktionen zu 5.1-Surroundmischungen umgewandelt werden.

Unterschiede zu 5.1
Das Ergebnis einer Fake-Surround-Mischung unterscheidet sich grundlegend von originalen 5.1-Aufnahmen. Denn die ursprüngliche Klanginformation besteht nur aus den beiden Stereokanälen. Dagegen enthalten 5.1-Aufnahmen für jeden der sechs Kanäle eine originäre Tonaufzeichnung. Daher bietet Fake Surround nicht die klanglichen Möglichkeiten einer echten Surroundtechnik.

Produktionsweise
Bei Fake Surround werden die beiden Stereosignale über verschiedene Effektprozessoren verarbeitet. Diese generieren sechs unterschiedliche Signale, die dann auf separaten Aufzeichnungsspuren gespeichert werden.

Das Stereosignal läuft auf eine Mittenspur, aus der sich der Centerkanal ergibt. Davon getrennt laufen zwei Seitensignale. Diese ergeben dann die Surroundsignale, nach Bearbeitung durch Dekorrelation, Equalizer, Harmonizer, Pitch Shifter und Hall-Effekt. Abschließend wird mittels eines Tiefpassfilters noch der LFE-Kanal generiert.

Iowa State recruiting: Where do the Cyclones stand with their high-end 2019 football targets?
Cyclone recruiting mailbag: Where does Iowa State football stand with its high-end 2019 targets?
The Register's Matthew Bain answers your Iowa State questions in his weekly Cyclone recruiting mailbag.
The sun is finally out and this Southern California guy is ecstatic.
I swear I'm getting used to the winters, and I've honestly found joy in bundling up and watching the snow fall from the inside of a warm coffee shop. It's awesome.
My flip-flops have just been waiting for me — teasing me — on my shoe rack for the past six months. Same with my shorts in my closet. Soon they'll become part of Iowans' everyday outfits again, and that makes me a happy camper.
That also means we're at the point in spring where basketball and football recruiting hit full force at the same time. So let's get to your questions.
Yes, those four guys are right at the top of Iowa State's board right now.
Let's break it down target by target.
Marcus Washington: He recently tweeted that he's releasing his top six on May 13. It's sounding like the three favorites are Ohio State, Missouri and Illinois. I'd say the Cyclones are on the outside looking in at this point, but they're not out of it for the four-star receiver out of Trinity Catholic in St. Louis.
Jirehl Brock: Iowa State is in good position with Brock, a four-star running back out of Quincy, Illinois. It's one of his seven finalists, along with Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana and Minnesota. Brock has a strong, longstanding relationship with Nate Scheelhaase, dating back to his days at Illinois. He told me Scheelhaase would be visiting him at Quincy today (Wednesday). Iowa State is selling him on being the next David Montgomery. And Matt Campbell, as he does with his top priorities, has made a point of creating personal relationships with Brock and his family. "Coach Campbell is a really big key for them because he's just so down to earth," Brock told me in March. "Most head coaches probably won't talk to you as much as coach Campbell does. He's a guy that texts me, texts my mom, texts my dad. He just makes sure that he talks to us all."
Nick Henrich: I haven't heard as much suggesting Iowa State is a top contender for Henrich, a four-star linebacker out of Omaha. He visited Ames in early April and told Omaha.com, "They have a young staff and are doing a great job of turning that program around. I really like coach (Matt) Campbell. He is a great guy and I really like the whole coaching staff there." He told Omaha.com he wants to commit to a school before his senior year. The fact that he visited Ames says the Cyclones are in the picture, but Notre Dame, Nebraska and even Iowa (his dad played tennis there) will be tough to beat.
Jason Bargy: Iowa State is in good position for this four-star defensive end out of Momence, Illinois. He has visited Ames twice this offseason in February and March. The Cyclones visited him at school on April 23, and he recently told Rivals that Iowa State and Minnesota were his top two schools at the moment. Of course, recruiting is crazy and things change in a heartbeat. Illinois is pursuing him hard, so we'll see if that ever materializes into something significant. Bargy told 247Sports he hopes to decide by late summer.
Of the 10 prospects listed on our initial Iowa State recruiting big board, five stand out to me in terms of mutual interest: St. Louis combo guard Mario McKinney, Bettendorf point guard D.J. Carton, Alabama combo guard Kira Lewis, Florida power forward Luke Anderson and Kentucky point guard Dekeyvan "KyKy" Tandy.
The Cyclones conducted in-home visits with McKinney, Carton, Lewis and Tandy during the April 5-18 contact period. And they visited Anderson at school on the second day of the contact period.
In-homes mean a lot for interest. And it's exactly why you'd think: Because a prospect and his family must have at least some serious interest if they're going to invite coaches from a certain school into their living room.
Iowa State's biggest need for the 2019 class is the backcourt, so it would make sense that there's some traction with guards. And it was the first high-major program to offer Anderson back in August.
I didn't include power forward E.J. Liddell, our No. 1 target on the big board, who has picked up new offers from Texas A&M, Louisville, Georgetown and Connecticut this month.
I'm sure there is mutual interest with the St. Louis area's Liddell, who was Mr. Basketball in Illinois this year; Iowa State came to watch Liddell during the season, he's close with McKinney and he has a good relationship with Cyclones signee Talen Horton-Tucker.
But he didn't host Iowa State for an in-home visit during the contact period. He did host Northwestern, Ohio State, Kansas State and Illinois.
Unfortunately, I don't know the exact reason there was no Cyclones visit. I was only told Iowa State wouldn't be able to see him "this time." Iowa State was in the St. Louis area visiting McKinney on April 17; Northwestern was visiting Liddell that night.
Anyway ... that's a long way of saying I don't have as concrete of evidence suggesting Liddell returns Iowa State's interest as strongly as McKinney, Carton, Lewis, Tandy and Anderson. I could be off with that, though.
And, obviously, things could change very quickly as the offseason progresses.

ANXIETY & MOOD SUPERFOODS
made only from
RAW, WHOLE INGREDIENTS

NATURALLY SUPPORT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
and our mission is to give back to
LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH CHARITIES
Let's see if we can make people feel
LESS ALONE, TOGETHER
The Right Food Can Support A Balanced Mood
With up to 95% of the neurotransmitter serotonin existing in the gut, research supports a strong connection between the foods we eat and our mental wellness. Together Bar is a nutrition bar carefully created to provide essential amounts of mental health-supportive tryptophan, selenium, omega-3s and strong antioxidants - and all from whole foods. These ingredients, a select blend of organic nuts, seeds, and fruit, work together to support gut health, provide essential amino acids that promote the natural release of serotonin, and give you the nutrients to fight inflammation throughout your body and mind. Oh, and it might be the most delicious thing you eat all day!
alone (adj): separated from others; isolated. antonym: together
Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt
Pure decadence. Our dark chocolate and sea salt bar is made with whole dates, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, 100% cocoa powder, and sea salt. That's it, but it doesn't taste simple. Not only does it leave you asking for more, but it's loaded with just the right natural superfoods to ease your anxiety and lift your mood.
Find Them Here
Wild Blueberry Balance
The yin to Dark Chocolate + Sea Salt's yang. This bar is bursting with all-natural blueberries, but it's not what you might expect - it's nuttier and more balanced than some fruit bars you might have tried. In fact, when people try it, the most common response is "Oh wow...this is amazing...I've never had anything like this before". Made with whole dates, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, turmeric, and wild blueberries, this bar gives you a subtle, more balanced fruit flavor, with an antioxidant and flavonoids boost to boot!
Patagonian Maqui Berry
The maqui berry is found in Chile, in the Patagonia region, and it boasts the highest antioxidant content of any fruit. In fact, it has more antioxidants than acai and pomegranate combined! It's also a very sweet fruit, so we can mix a good amount of turmeric in this bar and achieve a delicious fruit flavor without being too sweet, which we think is pretty sweet!
Coconut + Turmeric
This is the coconut bar for coconut bar skeptics. With just enough 100% pure coconut balanced with turmeric, we have achieved a semi-sweet nirvana that's not overpowering. Research has shown that the smell of coconut alone has the power to lift your mood - and the coconut meat has mood-supportive vitamins and minerals. Each bite will bring a smile to your face and instantly place you beneath a coconut tree on a beach somewhere.

When is igneous rock formed?
Igneous rocks are called fire rocks and are formed either underground or above ground. Underground, they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.

Fish waste for profit – maximising return: utilising the entire fish, the first IceFish Conference held on the first day of the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition, provided delegates with a fascinating insight into the many products can be made from previously discarded parts of fish.
Thor Sigfusson, Managing Director of the Iceland Ocean Cluster (Sjavarklasinn) and Sigurjon Arason, Chief Engineer at MATIS opened the conference, which was held in association with MATIS.
Prices for dried heads, bones and the liver of the fish were said to be approaching the price of fillets taken from cod and there were 'huge opportunities' in other industries for so-called fish by-products. To achieve these high prices, of course, the appropriate technology and logistics had to be available and the by-products had to be stored under the correct conditions and be cooled properly and bled on board the fishing vessels and kept cold on shore.
And this was posed problems. There to be space available for storing fish heads, for example, when all the available space on board was devoted to what had always been considered the main products.
Another relevant point made was that fishermen had to be financially compensated for bringing in these 'new' products which, since many of them were not yet mainstream products, was not always possible.
While the morning was devoted to whitefish, mostly cod, of course because of the importance of cod to the Icelandic fisheries industry, the afternoon sessions were devoted to pelagic farmed fish species and here Norwegian speakers told the delegates how more of this raw material was going to direct human consumption rather than to aquaculture or animal feed.
Farmed salmon seemed to be the ultimate in making the most use of the fish where only the blood is currently being discarded. The omega-3 industry was the biggest alternative use for farmed fish.


The UK is becoming a pioneer in the Muslim lifestyle economy and its status as a leader in the Muslim B2C market is only expected to grow in 2018.
This opens up business opportunities for budding entrepreneurs who, without offending religious sensitivities, can capitalise on the Muslim market to launch start-ups in sectors ranging from halal food to modest fashion, and much more.
Combined with the growth of the Muslim lifestyle economy, in the UK a new target demographic is coming to the fore.
Young, affluent Muslims – referred to as Muslim millennials or 'Generation M' – are looking for products and services which are both compatible with their Islamic beliefs but also in line with modern living.
So, how can you maximise on the emerging business opportunities arising from catering to the UK's Muslim population and Muslim millennials?
In the UK, government statistics show the Muslim population now exceeds 3.1 million people with 1.1 million Muslims living in the capital.
According to Middle East news resource site Zawya, the global halal food and lifestyle market will reach $3.7 trillion in market value by 2019.
And, by 2030, the Muslim middle class is expected to triple to 900 million globally – driving consumption.
Just like the growth of the Pink pound, the Muslim pound now has market influence and companies want in.
Back in March 2016, retail giant Marks & Spencer (M&S) capitalised on demand for modest fashions early by launching its UK range of burkinis; swimsuits covering the whole body except for the hands, face and feet. Having already enjoyed sales in stores in Dubai and Libya, the burkinis were a huge hit in the UK and sold out within five months.
Fast forward to January 2018 and M&S has just announced the launch of its first dedicated "modest" clothing range, catering for women who need 'flowing fabrics, higher necklines and lower hems'. Fellow retailers Mango and Zara have also jumped on the Muslim lifestyle economy train, launching modest fashion ranges for Muslim women to coincide with the start of Ramadan.
Start-ups are also muscling in to the fashion space, and reaping the rewards.
Inayah, a London-based brand specialising in minimal and contemporary modest fashion, launched in 2012 and has become a firm favourite among Muslim millennials with almost one million fans across social media. These fans include young Muslim entrepreneur Anna Siddiqui, of Little Kickers, who tells us it has quickly become her "favourite store by far".
Outside of fashion, early-stage UK retail businesses such as The Pampered Muslimah and Ibraheem Toy House have enjoyed start-up success by targeting the Muslim lifestyle economy. The former specialises in Deen-inspired planners, stationery and accessories and has seen its Etsy store take off thanks to an army of Instagram followers, while the latter has become the world's largest online Islamic toy store since launch in 2014.
The emergence of businesses like this has paved the way for the launch of the UK's first and biggest B2B Muslim lifestyle conference; MLE Connect. Running for its second year in 2017, the one-day London conference featured seminars and discussions on halal food, modest fashion, marketing, finance and international trade, with entrepreneurs and 200 businesses representing at the event. Delegates also came from the UAE, Turkey, Malaysia and Iran.
But it's not just the UK: The growth of new start-ups targeting Muslims in America and Canada highlights emerging opportunities for UK founders. In the last year, new brands such as Halal Socks, a Toronto start-up creating Islam-inspired socks for Muslims to display while praying, and FEJ, a Montreal start-up designing the world's first rucksack for Hajj, have made headlines across the pond.
While fashion and retail have already proved a popular focus for businesses targeting the Muslim demographic, it's halal food which undoubtedly offers the widest array of opportunities for those looking to start a business in the Muslim lifestyle economy.
And the array of halal food products and services you can offer is extremely varied; ranging from everything from halal wedding favours – like that offered by Huddersfield-based Sweeties UK – to halal street food like the Bhangra Burgers offered by Baba G's in Camden.
For budding foodie entrepreneurs, halal restaurants and pop-ups are in high demand; so much so that marketplaces such as Halal Gems and Halaleat, and review sites like the Halal Food Guy, have launched to enable Brits to discover restaurants serving up great halal food.
Starting a restaurant business requires time and money though, so we'd advise piloting your halal food business idea at a street food festival or pop-up exhibition first. Street Eats, a street food festival created by Halal Gems, offers expo opportunities for halal food start-ups.
One of many successful halal food festivals in the UK designed to cater to halal-conscious diners, Street Eats launched in July 2017 and was attended by a whopping 67,000 people making it London's largest.
Zohra Khaku is founder of Halal Gems, the start-up enabling halal conscious consumers to find "beautiful unique, and interesting foodie content", while helping the sector raise its profile "from cheap, low quality halal meat to something a bit more meaningful and ethical".
Since launch in 2016, Halal Gems has become the largest halal dining platform in the UK. Khaku tells us that the site received approximately 1.5 million page views across 2017, with 12,000 registered users on its halal restaurant finder app.
"Halal food is now available in abundance. It's good quality halal food which is cooked in innovative ways and presented beautifully that the market is looking for.

Queen Elizabeth Wants Prince Charles to Broker Peace in the William-Harry Feud
After Harry all but confirmed the rift between the princes, the Queen is insistent on sorting things out.
By Diane Clehane
Queen Elizabeth has had enough. According to royal insiders, the Queen has directed Prince Charles to put a stop to the feud between Prince William and Prince Harry because she believes "it has overshadowed everything and is damaging the monarchy," according to a royal source.
"Her Majesty very much wants her grandsons to put whatever their personal differences are aside and come together for the sake of the family and the Crown," my source said. "The Queen has resisted getting involved up until now in hopes that William and Harry could rise above their petty differences. But seeing as that seems not to be the case, she has told the Prince of Wales in no uncertain terms to find a way to bring about an understanding between his sons and end all this right now."
Harry made headlines around the world earlier this month when he indirectly acknowledged that the reports of his estrangement from his brother are true in an interview with Tom Bradby for the ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey. "Look, we are brothers. We will always be brothers. We are certainly on different paths at the moment, but I will always be there for him and, as I know, he will always be there for me," Harry told Bradby. "We don't see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy, but I love him dearly and the majority of stuff is created out of nothing. As brothers, you have good days, you have bad days."
As an insider noted to me, "The Duke of Sussex could have put a stop to those reports about a falling-out with the Duke of Cambridge right then and there, but he chose not to. His words added fuel to the fire."
In doing so, Harry broke the royals' cardinal rule of "never complain, never explain."
My source said the Queen was aware of the documentary but reportedly was not told in advance that the broadcast would also include comments from Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, about any negativity they feel about their lives within the royal family.
Express reported that Charles was "absolutely furious" about Harry's public comments about his relationship with William and his admission that he was frustrated with life as a member of the royal family.
While the Palace allowed sources to publicly acknowledge that William was "worried" about Harry and Meghan's emotional state after the interview aired, privately "there was a lot of anger that this had the makings of a disaster not seen since Princess Diana went public with her grievances on that Panorama interview," my source said.
The situation was made infinitely worse when, just days after the ITV interviewed aired, a source close to Harry and Meghan told CNN that the couple had "single-handedly modernized the monarchy" and were not getting the proper support or recognition. Rather than address or refute the claim, the couple's press office declined comment.
"That did not sit well at all with Her Majesty or the Prince of Wales, who has gone out of his way to be supportive of Harry and Meghan," a royal insider revealed. Charles is also "deeply disappointed" because "with all the attention being paid to the supposed feud between the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex and the Duchess's claims that no one has inquired about her state of mind, the Prince of Wales' recent overseas tour as well as the new documentary about his life's work were all but ignored." (Charles recently made an official trip to Japan, and the second installment of his two-part documentary, Prince Charles: Inside the Duchy of Cornwall, airs on Oct. 31 at 9 p.m. on ITV.)
Another royal source summed up Charles' reaction to Harry's comments in The Sun, saying, "This whole kerfuffle has completely undermined the work he is doing… To do it to your brother is one thing. To do it to your father and paymaster is a completely different matter altogether."
Ironically, it's Harry's marriage to Meghan that allegedly strengthened his relationship with his father. The couple reportedly spent a lot of time with Charles in Scotland before their wedding and postponed their honeymoon to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace to mark Charles' 70th birthday where Harry delivered touching remarks about his father.
All eyes will be on Harry and Meghan and William and Kate Middelton on November 10th, Remembrance Sunday, when the family comes together to pay tribute to the citizens of Britain who lost their lives in service to their country. It will the first time all the senior royals will appear together since Harry and Meghan's ITV documentary aired. Charles will be laying a wreath on behalf of the Queen.
"The hope is that the family will present a united front at this very somber occasion," said the insider. "Her Majesty supports both her grandsons and expects the Prince of Wales can sort this out with William and Harry. They have to be made to realize their actions have great consequence on the future of the family and the country." And for more on tough moments for the monarchs, here are Prince Charles' Most Controversial Moments That You've Forgotten About.

DAMASCUS – The city council planned to change its rules on how meetings are run, to be more professional and efficient, but decided to delay the changes Monday until the city attorney could weigh in.
"We need to make sure the new rules respect citizen's free speech and match our charter," said councilor Randy Shannon.
Residents took issue with aspects of the rules the council planned on changing, like limiting when they could clap.
The city council is considering limiting audience noise, such as applause, booing and rioting.
"There are times to applaud: when people are doing a presentation or award," said council president Diana Helm. "[But] I think when people are making public comments they should be given respect. Maybe [the rule on limiting clapping] is just for public comment because that's where the disruptions have occurred," Helm said.
Councilors also had discussed the possibility of taking away the mayor's power to run meetings and set the agendas.
"The changes to the rules are important. The mayor showed he can't control a meeting. He is a council member with the title mayor and he needs to act accordingly," said resident Don Arbuckle.
The mayor was not at the Monday night meeting.
The council plans to talk more about rewriting its rules at a future meeting.
Aside from changing its own rules, Damascus City Council also discussed new population projections, which predict the city's population will jump to about 30,000 by 2035.
