CISNEROS FOUNDATION CELEBRATES COLLEGE SIGNING DAY IN PHILADELPHIA,
HOSTED BY FORMER FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA
Better Make Room Advisory Board Members Gilbert and Jacki Cisneros Join
Michelle Obama and Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute Scholars
at 5th Annual College Signing Day
On Wednesday, May 2, 2018, the Cisneros Foundation was honored to take part in the 5th annual College Signing Day, hosted by Former First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Reach Higher initiative at the Temple's Liacouras Center, in Philadelphia.
Gilbert and Jacki Cisneros joined 18 Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute scholars to celebrate thousands of Class of 2018 high school students make a promise to higher education. Nationwide, 600,000 students were registered to participate, with events happening in 2,000 locations, including Jacki Cisneros' Los Angeles-based organization, Generation 1st Degree-Pico Rivera at El Rancho High School, in Pico Rivera, California.

"I'm grateful that through Cisneros Foundation partnerships, we can provide inspiring and life-changing experiences to Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute scholars, such as College Signing Day and meeting Mrs. Obama," said Jacki Cisneros, President of the Cisneros Foundation and Generation 1st-Degree-Pico Rivera. "Gilbert and I have dedicated the last several years to creating programs and opportunities for our hometown Pico Rivera students to reach higher, and it's very rewarding to see our students thriving at their colleges, and our current senior high school class at El Rancho High School where we host Generation 1st-Degree programs committing to higher education. Congratulations Class of 2018!"
Among the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute scholars was Karen Lopez, a Generation 1st-Degree alumni and Better Make Room intern. In 2016, Karen was invited to attend the former First Lady's Reach for the Top: Beating The Odds summit at the White House, and listen to Mrs. Obama speak.
At this year's College Signing Day, Karen had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Obama during the event, and be in the same room with celebrities including Bradley Cooper, Rebel Wilson, Zendaya, Robert De Niro, Camila Cabello, Questlove, Anthony Mackie and Janelle Monae.

"Meeting Mrs. Obama was heartwarming and an experience I never imagined could happen," said Lopez. "Her words are always inspiring, and they reminded me to continue to set the bar high for myself and to encourage my peers to do the same. I'm grateful for my experience with Generation 1st Degree, the support of the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute and the opportunity to intern with Better Make Room. All of these experiences have encouraged me to strive harder. If it weren't for this support system, I know I wouldn't have challenged myself to go to college out of state, which has provided me with the most valuable experiences. As a first-generation student, I'm speechless when I think about how far I've come from Pico Rivera."
Gilbert and Jackie Cisneros are the founders of The Gilbert & Jacki Cisneros Foundation and Generation First Degree-Pico Rivera, both organizations that are committed to improving the level of Hispanic education in the country. George Washington University alumnus Gilbert Cisneros, BA' 94, and his wife, Jacki, also established the George Washington University Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute to help qualified students attain academic success, build leadership skills, and engage in a long-term commitment to making a difference within the Hispanic community. In 2017, the Cisneros' were inaugurated into the Better Make Room Advisory Board, chaired by Mrs. Obama. Board members consist of educational luminaries and leaders who share best practices and ideas for improving college access and completion rates for underserved children.

It is springtime, right? Because I totally gave the green light to myself to wear bright colors again. Check it.
In the meantime, I thought I'd share my picks for fun springtime looks!
Hope you found those as fun as I did! What is your favorite thing about spring??
Super fun spring outfit ideas! It still feels like the middle of winter to me. Maybe once some of the snow starts to melt I'll feel like wearing springy colors again, haha!
Yay for spring! I love wearing dresses. It seems like spring is on a lot of people's minds. I kinda wrote about it too today.
I love wearing bright colors and sundresses!Stopping by from the GFC Collective to follow!Love a follow back, Bullock's Buzz!

Sharks Takeaways: What We Learned in Intense 5-2 Win Against Flames
By Chelena Goldman	• Published February 7, 2019 • Updated on February 28, 2019 at 4:18 pm
The highly anticipated rematch between the Sharks and the Flames wasn't the fight-fest most people believed it would be. But it was an exciting, fast-paced fête, with edge-of-your-seat entertainment right up until the final buzzer.
San Jose allowed the opposition to score the opening goal early in the game. But the team buckled down and battled back, ending a raucous 60-minute battle with a 5-2 win Thursday night in Calgary.
Here are three takeaways from the Sharks' fourth consecutive victory:
They got revenge on the scoreboard
This game was circled on many people's calendars after the teams last met on New Year's Eve and things got ugly in the last few minutes when Sam Bennett hit Radim Simek. (We'll get to that in just a second.) But instead of opening up the contest throwing their gloves onto the ice, the Sharks kept their game tight and chased Flames goalie David Rittich from the game.
Evander Kane -- whom fans and talking heads alike thought would be throwing haymakers -- led the offensive charge by scoring San Jose's first and fourth goals on the evening. His line with Tomas Hertl -- who scored two goals himself -- and Joonas Donskoi caught fire like it had before the bye week, matching Calgary's speed and tenacity to a T.
Martin Jones came up big
Yes, it was concerning for the Sharks at the start of the game when the Flames scored their first goal less than five minutes into the contest. After that, though, Martin Jones settled in and came up big for San Jose. The Flames didn't let up after the Sharks increased their lead, and Jones had to stand on his head a couple times to keep them from finding the back of the net.
Jones had two saves on Johnny Gaudreau that easily were his best of the evening, if not two of the best of his whole 2018-19 campaign. In the second period, Gaudreau was lightning fast as he tried to bury a wraparound attempt, but Jones outstretched his right skate to stop the puck with his toe. Then, on a huge penalty kill in the third frame, Gaudreau fanned on a shot and Jones narrowly stopped a power-play goal. Speaking of which …
The penalty kill was on full display
Nevermind the one power-play goal Calgary got in the second period. San Jose's penalty kill has gradually gotten better since the team came back from the All-Star break, looking more like the dominant product it was at the start of the season. Since the Sharks got into their fair share of penalty trouble Thursday, the kill got plenty of work in, and it didn't disappoint.
One player who was particularly noticeable on the Sharks' big kill in the third period was Simek. The defenseman had a strong game in his return to Calgary after being hit by Bennett on Dec. 31. In addition to tallying an assist in the first period and creating the play deep in the defensive zone that resulted in Kane's second goal, Simek was a big help to Jones keeping the puck out of the crease.

When it comes to processing transactions, intermediaries such as banks have been traditionally seen as a necessary nuisance: in reviewing and authorising payments, they have provided a vital service. But depending on where payments are made, where they're being sent, and the amount being sent, this can take some time: international transactions in particular can take up to three to five days.
It's a real pain point for consumers, and one that – you guessed it – blockchain technology can help alleviate. This decentralised, digital distributed ledger technology can log any payments made without the need for an intermediary. This means faster transaction processing and lower transaction fees.
Accordingly, blockchain isn't just interesting to crypto-enthusiasts. Traditional financial institutions, within sectors such as banking and insurance, are actively experimenting with it too. Additionally, there has been a number of financial institutions developing proof of concepts to facilitate more transparent and secure transactions.
We can see here that Visa is clearly in the lead. It's not altogether surprising that a 60-year old company that's had decades to improve its transaction infrastructure would have an advantage when it comes to payment processing.
Where blockchain-based cryptocurrency networks are concerned, Ripple registers the best performance: with 1,500 transactions processed per second, it's almost eight times faster than PayPal. Bitcoin Cash has the third-fastest speed (and the second-fastest among cryptos), but as it's only able to process 60 transactions per second, there's a considerable gulf between it and Ripple. Litecoin (56) and Dash (48) are somewhat comparable, while Ethereum (20) and Bitcoin (7) bring up the rear – their escalating popularity seems to be outpacing network processing capabilities and causing delays. (Comment (Jacob) - Ripple doesn't use an adversarial method (proof of work) for deciding which transactions get processed but rather uses a cooperative one (distributed agreement).
The network will not slow down due to transaction volume. Instead, the transaction fees will increase to keep the transaction demand at a level that the system can handle. So right now, you can get a transaction fully-confirmed in about 10 seconds for a hundredth of a penny. In the future, that cost might go up).
As detailed in the previous lesson, transaction fees and transaction speeds are closely intertwined. If the user has paid a larger fee, crypto miners will prioritise their payment over others. Accordingly, high-value transactions are typically the quickest.
Speed is also impacted by the popularity of a particular coin. Bitcoin, for example, has placed considerable pressure on the network – which has in turn caused considerable delays and considerable criticism. As a result, two hard forks have emerged: Bitcoin Cash in August 2017, and Bitcoin Gold in October 2017.
Speeding up the payment process will be essential to the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency alike. But how can it be done?
SegWit, as we've discussed previously, may provide one method. As a soft fork change in cryptocurrency's transaction format, it's already been implemented by some coins – including Litecoin. It frees up more space in each block, making room for more transactions to be processed at a faster rate. Popular adoption remains elusive, but it has paved the way for other technologies that might improve the pace of payments.
The Lightning network theoretically allows Bitcoin transactions and micro transactions to occur instantaneously: no delay necessary. Where the current process relies on mining rigs, in which computers solve complex math problems before payments can be recorded on the ledger, the Lightning Network instead requires participants to agree to conduct a transaction via a separate offline channel. The blockchain would then update to reflect this external transaction. This is much quicker and may even help cryptocurrency compete with other instant payment platforms.
The Lightning Network entered alpha testing in January 2018. They are aiming to make cryptocurrency faster and more convenient. As of early 2018, blockchain's future of high-speed payment processing has begun to be taken into consideration.
Which of the following cryptocurrencies has the fastest transaction speed?


A pioneer of wind energy in Ireland has called on the energy regulator to waive current restrictions on selling power to the national grid.
He claims that this will generate industry savings of €1million, save jobs and boost competitiveness.
Lawrence Staudt heads the centre for renewable energy at Dundalk Institute of Technology (DIT).
He said that, under the current system, any energy producer that delivered more than 500kWcould have to wait for up to five years before being cleared by the Commission for Energy Regulation's (CER) 'group processing approach', which permits sale of excess electricity to the grid.
This, according to Staudt, impedes a ''golden opportunity'' for companies who build their own turbines to reduce their costs by up to €1million within five years. Staudt has just been appointed to the board of Irish company Wind Energy Direct (WED), which will be the first to install and operate turbines on company sites in Ireland.
''This will deliver a significant reduction in energy costs, at a time when our nation's competitiveness is being eroded year-on-year," he said.

WATCH: We could learn a thing or two from the way these kids see difference
Bashiera Parker
The BBC children's channel CBeebies interviewed a group of young children paired up with their friends and asked them, "What makes you two different from each other?"
They pondered, looked at their besties and answered. But they didn't respond quite like you'd expect…
Also see: WATCH: This video will make you want to be a kid again
"I used to not like lettuce but now I like lettuce," confessed one little boy before the little girl he stood next to responded, "I do not like lettuce, at all."
"Lucy loves tomato sauce," said another little girl, "and I, I do like it but I don't like love it as much as Lucy."
"I have smaller toes than Artie," said one young boy.
"Adiel likes goujons and chips and I like sushi," said one girl before Adiel chimed in, "And they're different!"
"She never stops talking," said one boy about his friend.
And then two dancing besties said, "We've got different hair."
Now, if you've watched the video, you'll notice the most interesting part of it all: the kids didn't highlight the fact that their skin colour differed, or that one was a girl and the other a boy. Or that Adiel has Down syndrome and another girl was in a wheelchair.
In fact, Matthew and his friend, both bespectacled and dressed exactly the same, spent the duration of the video trying to figure out how they were different to one another, because it didn't occur, or maybe it didn't matter to them, that they didn't have the same skin colour.
Also read: When do children show evidence of self-esteem?
And remember when, earlier this year, best friends Jax and Reddy attempted to confuse their teacher by having the same haircut?
Jax's mom, Lydia, wrote in a Facebook post that she'd told her son he needed to get a haircut and Jax asked her to shave it really short so he could look like his friend Reddy.
She wrote, "He said he couldn't wait to go to school on Monday with his hair like Reddy's so that his teacher wouldn't be able to tell them apart. He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut."

Similarly, best friends Jia and Zuri made the assertion that no matter what anybody says, they're sisters – they're twins.
Zuri's sister explained what had happened in a Twitter post and told Buzzfeed that Jia started crying when one of the girls at school told her she can't possibly be Zuri's sister because they don't have the same skin colour. But Jia responded, in tears and all, "We are twins because we have the same birthday!"
And the girls later elaborated, "And we share the same soul."
My sister and her bestfriend think that they're twins because they have the same birthday and this was the outcome.. pic.twitter.com/x1dCZmIip3
— la loba (@vickto_willy) November 5, 2017
They share the same soul – what a wonderfully mature and powerful sentiment for a 4-year-old!
After watching these kids and reading their stories, we can't help but think we'd all be a little better off if we embraced one another and saw our differences the way our kids do.
Because we might even find we'd get along and we're more alike than we think.

From "Scotsman," June 2, 1884.
"C. B. Black's Guide-books have a character of their own; and that character is a good one. Their author has made himself personally acquainted with the localities with which he deals in a manner in which only a man of leisure, a lover of travel, and an intelligent observer of Continental life could afford to do. He does not 'get up' the places as a mere hack guide-book writer is often, by the necessity of the case, compelled to do. Hence he is able to correct common mistakes, and to supply information on minute points of much interest apt to be overlooked by the hurried observer."

This Guide-book consists of Routes which follow the course of the main Railways. To adapt these Routes as far as possible to the requirements of every one the Branch Lines are also pointed out, together with the stations from which the Coaches run, in connection with the trains, to towns distant from the railway. The description of the places on these branch lines is printed either in a closer or in a smaller letter than that of the towns on the main lines.
Each Route has the Map indicated on which it is to be found. By aid of these maps the traveller can easily discover his exact situation, and either form new routes for himself, or follow those given.
The Arrangement of the Routes is such that they may be taken either from the commencement to the end, or from the end to the commencement. The Route from Paris to Marseilles, for example, does equally well for Marseilles to Paris.
The Distance of towns from the place of starting to the terminus is expressed by the figures which accompany them on each side of the margin; while the distance of any two towns on the same route from each other is found by subtracting their marginal figures on either side from each other.
In the Description of towns the places of interest have been taken in the order of their position, so that, if a cab be engaged, all that is necessary is to mention to the driver their names in succession. Cabs on such occasions should be hired by the hour. To guard against omission, the traveller should underline the names of the places to be visited before commencing the round. In France the Churches are open all the day. In Italy they close at 12; but most of them reopen at 2 P.M. All the vi Picture-Galleries are open on Sundays, and very many also on Thursdays. When not open to the public, admission is generally granted on payment of a franc.
In "Table of Contents" the Routes are classified and explained. For the Time-tables recommended, and for the mode of procedure on the Continental Railways, see "Preliminary Information."
Before commencing our description of the Winter Resorts on the Mediterranean, with the best routes towards them, let it be clearly understood that not even in the very mildest of these stations is it safe for the invalid to venture out either in the early morning or after sunset without being well protected with warm clothing; and that, even with this precaution, the risk run of counteracting the beneficial influences of a sojourn in these regions is so great as to render it prudent to determine from the first to spend those hours always within doors. On the other hand, it is most conducive to health, during the sunny hours of the day, to remain as much as possible in the open air, walking and driving along the many beautiful terraces and roads with which these places abound; and if the day be well employed in such exercise, it will be no great hardship to rest at home in the evening. Nor is it necessary to remain in the same town during the entire season; indeed a change of scene is generally most beneficial, for which the railway as well as the steamers affords every facility. "I would strongly advise every person who goes abroad for the recovery of his health, whatever may be his disease or to what climate soever he may go, to consider the change as placing him merely in a more favourable situation for the removal of his disease; in fact, to bear constantly in mind that the beneficial influence of travelling, of sailing, and of climate requires to be aided by such dietetic regimen and general mode of living, and by such remedial measures as would have been requisite in his case had he remained in his own country. All the circumstances requiring attention from the invalid at home should be equally attended to abroad. If in some things greater latitude may be permitted, others will demand vii even a more rigid attention. It is, in truth, only by a due regard to all these circumstances that the powers of the constitution can be enabled to throw off, or even materially mitigate, in the best climate, a disease of long standing.
"It may appear strange that I should think it requisite to insist so strongly on the necessity of attention to these directions; but I have witnessed the injurious effects of a neglect of them too often not to deem such remarks called for in this place. It was, indeed, matter of surprise to me, during my residence abroad, to observe the manner in which many invalids seemed to lose sight of the object for which they left their own country—the recovery of their health. This appeared to arise chiefly from too much being expected from climate.
"The more common and more injurious deviations from that system of living which an invalid ought to adopt, consist in errors of diet, exposure to cold, over-fatigue, and excitement in what is called 'sight-seeing,' frequenting crowded and over-heated rooms, and keeping late hours. Many cases fell under my observation in which climate promised the greatest advantage, but where its beneficial influence was counteracted by the operation of these causes." —Sir James Clark on the Sanative Influence of Climate.

Many after leaving the Riviera are the better of making a short stay at some of the baths, such as Vichy (p. 359), Vals (p. 93), Mont-Dore (p. 378), Bourboule (p. 383), Aix-les-Bains (p. 283), Bourbon-l'Archambault (p. 357), or Bourbon-Lancy (p. 358). If at the eastern end of the Riviera, the nearest way to them is by rail from Savona (pp. 209 and 183), or from Genoa (pp. 212 and 279) to Turin (p. 292). From Turin a short branch line extends to Torre-Pèllice (p. 305), situated in one of the most beautiful of the Waldensian valleys.
If the journey from Turin to Aix-les-Bains, 128 miles, be too long, a halt may be made for the night at Modane (p. 290); where, however, on account of the elevation, 3445 ft., the air is generally rather sharp and bracing.
From the western end of the Riviera the best way north and to the baths is by the valley of the Rhône (map, p. 27), in which there are many places of great interest, such as Arles (p. 68), Avignon (p. 58), Orange (p. 51), and Lyons (p. 29). From Lyons take the western branch by Montbrison (p. 349) for Vichy, Mont-Dore, and Bourboule. For Aix-les-Bains take the eastern by Ambérieux (p. 281) and Culoz (p. 282). From Avignon, Carpentras (p. 54), Pont-St. Esprit (p. 98), Montélimart (p. 48), La Voulte (p. 82), Crest (p. 46) and Grenoble (p. 324), interesting and picturesque excursions are made. From Carpentras Mont Ventoux (p. 56) is visited. From La Voulte, Ardechè (p. 45) is entered. From Crest diligences run to the towns and villages between it and Aspres (pp. 47 and 345). From Grenoble the roads and railways diverge which lead to the lofty peaks of the western Alps and to the mountain passes between France and Italy.
None should go abroad without a passport. Even where several are travelling together in one party, each should have his own passport. They are easily procured and easily carried, and may be of great use.
The best hotels in the places frequented by the Americans and English cost per day from 12 to 22 frs., and the pensions from 9 to 15 frs., including wine (often sour) in both. The general charge in the hotels of the other towns throughout France is from 8 to 9 frs. per day. Meat breakfast, 2 to 3 frs.; dinner, 3 to 4 frs.; service, ½ fr.; "café au lait," with bread and butter, 1½ fr. The omnibus between the hotel and the station costs each from 6 to 10 sous. The driver in most cases loads and unloads the luggage himself at the station, when he expects a small gratuity from 2 to 10 sous, according to the quantity of bags and trunks. The omnibuses of the Riviera hotels cost from 1½ to 2 frs. each, and although the conductor does not unload the luggage he expects a gratuity.
Neither jewellery nor money should be carried in portmanteaus. When a stay of merely a day or two is intended, the bulky and heavy luggage should be left in depôt at the station. Some companies charge 1, others 2 sous for each article (colis) per day. See "Railways" in "Preliminary Information."

FRENCH, BELGIAN, AND GERMAN RAILWAYS.
On these railways the rate of travelling is slower than in England, but the time is more accurately kept.
To each passenger is allowed 30 kilogrammes, or 66 lbs. weight of luggage free.
Railway Time-Tables.
Time-tables or Indicateurs. For France the most useful and only official time-tables are those published by Chaix and Cie, and sold at all the railway stations. Of these excellent publications there are various kinds. The most complete and most expensive is the "Livret-Chaix Continental," which, besides the time-tables of the French railways, gives those also of the whole Continent, and is furnished with a complete index; size 18mo, with about 800 pages. The "Livret-Chaix Continental" is sold at the station bookstalls. Price 2 frs.
Next in importance is the "Indicateur des Chemins de Fer," sold at every station; size 128 small folio pages, price 60 c. It contains the time-tables of the French railways alone, and an index and railway map.
The great French lines of the "Chemins de Fer de l'Ouest," of the "Chemins de Fer d'Orleans," of the "Chemins de Fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée," of the "Chemins de Fer du Nord," and of the "Chemins de Fer de l'Est," have each time-tables of their own, sold at all their stations. Price 40 c. Size 18me. With good index.
For Belgium, the best time-tables are in the "Guide Officiel sur tous les Chemins de Fer de Belgique." Sold at the Belgian railway stations. Size 18me. Price 30 c. It contains a good railway map of Belgium.
For Italy, use "L'Indicatore Ufficiale delle Strade Ferrate d'Italia." Containing excellent maps illustrating their circular tours. Price 1 fr.
In Spain use the "Indicador de los Ferro-Carriles," sold at the stations. The distances are, as in the French tables, in kilometres, of which 8 make 5 miles. Lleg. or Llegada means "arrival"; Salida, "departure."
In England consult the "Continental Time-tables of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway," sold at the Victoria Station, Pimlico, price 2d.; or those of the London and South-Eastern, 1d.
In the Railway Station.
Before going to the station, it is a good plan to turn up in the index of the "Livret-Chaix Continental" the place required, to ascertain the fare and the time of starting, which stations are supplied with refreshment rooms (marked B), and the time the train halts at each on its way.
On arriving at the station join the single file (queue) of people before the small window (guichet), where the tickets (billets) are sold. Your turn having arrived, and having procured your ticket, proceed to the luggage department, where deposit your baggage and deliver your ticket to be stamped. The luggage tickets are called also "bulletins."
After your articles have been weighed, your ticket, along with a luggage receipt, is handed you from the "guichet" of the luggage office, where, if your baggage is not overweight, you pay 10 c. or 2 sous. Before pocketing the luggage ticket, just run your eye down the column headed "Nombre de Colis," and see that the exact number of your articles has been given. The French have a strange way of making the figures 3, 5, xii and 7. Whatever is overweight is paid for at this office; but remember, when two or more are travelling together, to present the tickets of the whole party at the luggage department, otherwise the luggage will be treated as belonging to one person, and thus it will probably be overweight. Another advantage of having the entire number of the party on the "Billet de Bagage" is that, in case of one or other losing their carriage tickets, this will prove the accident to the stationmaster (chef-de-Gare) and satisfy him. If, after having purchased a ticket, the train is missed, that ticket, to be available for the next train, must be presented again to the ticket office, to be re-stamped (être visé).
The traveller, on arriving at his destination, will frequently find it more convenient not to take his luggage away with him; in which case, having seen it brought from the train to the station, he should tell the porter that he wishes it left there. He retains, however, his luggage ticket, which he only presents when he desires his luggage again.
On the Railway.
In the carriage cast the eye over the line as given in our railway map, and note the junctions; for at many of these—such as Amiens, Rouen, Culoz, Macon, etc. etc.—the passengers are frequently discharged from the carriages and sent into the waiting-rooms to await other trains. On such occasions great attention must be paid to the names the porter calls out when he opens the door of the waiting-room, otherwise the wrong train may be taken. To avoid this, observe on our railway map what are the principal towns along the line in the direction required to go; so that when, for example, he calls out, "Voyageurs du Côté de Lyon!" and we be going to Marseilles from Macon, we may, with confidence, enter the train, because, by reference to the map, we see we must pass Lyon to reach Marseilles. The little railway map will be found very useful, and ought always to be kept in readiness for reference.
Buffet means "refreshment-room"; and Salle d'Attente, "waiting-room."
There are separate first, second, and third class carriages for ladies.
Express trains have third class carriages for long distances.
Railway Omnibuses.
At the stations of the largest and wealthiest towns three kinds of omnibuses await the arrival of passengers. They may be distinguished by the names of the General Omnibus, the Hotel Omnibus, and the Private Omnibus. The general omnibus takes passengers to all parts of the town for a fixed sum, rarely above half a franc; so that, should the omnibus be full, it is some time till the last passenger gets put down at his destination. The hotel omnibus takes passengers only to the hotel or hotels whose name or names it bears.
RAILWAYS, ROADS, and BYE-WAYS in the
SOUTH-EAST of FRANCE, and the MOUNTAIN
PASSES between FRANCE and ITALY.
For the whole of the south-east of France use the time-tables of the "Chemins de Fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée." Sold at all their stations, price 8 sous. In Italy use the "Indicatore Ufficiale," 1 fr. or 1 lira, which gives, besides the time-tables of the railway trains, those also of the steam-trams, which traverse the country in all directions.
In England consult the time-tables of the London and South Eastern Railway, 1d.; or the Continental time-tables of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, 3d.
PARIS to MENTON by Fontainebleau, Joigny, Dijon, Macon, Lyons, Valence, Avignon, Arles, Rognac, Marseilles, Toulon, Hyères, Cannes, Nice and Monaco (see map on fly-leaf) 1
For practical purposes it is more convenient to divide this long journey into two parts—Paris to Marseilles (p. 1), and Marseilles to Menton (p. 122).
PARIS to MARSEILLES1
The train, after leaving the station, passes some of the most interesting towns and villages in the neighbourhood of Paris, of which the most important is Fontainebleau. Dijon and Macon are good resting-places. Lyons is the largest city on the line. Avignon and Arles should, if possible, be visited. Among the branch lines which ramify from this great central railway are
La Roche to Les Laumes by Auxerre, Cravant, Sermizelles, Avallon and Semur. At Sermizelles a coach awaits passengers for Vezelay, containing a grand and vast church. 14
From Auxerre a coach runs to Chablis (p. 14), with its famous wines, passing through Pontigny (p. 16), where Thomas à Becket resided.
Verrey (p. 19) is a good station to alight at, to visit the source of the Seine.
From Dijon (p. 20) southwards to Chagny (p. 24) are the famous Burgundy vineyards.
Chagny to Nevers by Autun, Montchanin and Creusot. Autun (p. 24) is one of the most ancient cities in France. At Creusot (p. 25) are very large ironworks.
Macon to Paray-le-Monial by Cluny. At Paray-le-Monial (p. 27) a nun called Alacoque is said to have had several interviews with J. C.
Lyons (p. 29), though a splendid city, ought to be avoided by invalids in winter. Lyons is an important railway junction. 78 miles E. by Amberieux and Culoz is Aix-les-Bains (p. 283). 76 miles S.E. by Rives, Voiron and Voreppe is Grenoble (p. 324). Voiron is the station for the Grande Chartreuse (p. 323). From the station of St. Paul, 113 miles W. by Montbrison (p. 349), is Clermont-Ferrand (p. 369). 89½ miles S.W. by St. Etienne (p. 346) is Le Puy (p. 86). The rail from Lyons along the E. side of the Rhône leads to Avignon (p. 58) and Arles (p. 68); and on the W. side to Nîmes (p. 101). See map, p. 27.
Valence to Grenoble, 62 miles N.E. 44
Valence to Ardèche 45
Crest to Montelimart 46
Crest to Dieulefit by Saou and Bourdeaux 46
Saou is an ancient village curiously situated. Bourdeaux is separated from Dieulefit by a high mountain.

Montelimart to Grignan, where Madame Sévigné died 49
La Croisière to Nyons, 29½ miles E. (p. 50). The climate of Nyons is mild and well suited for those who leave the Riviera early. From Nyons another coach goes on to Serres, 41 miles E. (p. 51) on the railway between Marseilles and Grenoble (map, p. 27).
Sorgues to Carpentras, 10½ m. east 54
Carpentras makes excellent headquarters for visiting a great variety of places in the neighbourhood, among others Mont Ventoux (p. 56) and Vaison (p. 53).

Николай (Миколай) Зебжидовский (, 1553, Краков — 17 июня 1620, там же) — государственный деятель Речи Посполитой, генеральный староста краковский (1585), воевода любельский (1589—1601), маршалок великий коронный (1596—1601), воевода краковский (1601—1620), староста ланцкоронский.

Инициатор и главный руководитель рокоша Зебжидовского, мятежа польской шляхты поднятого против короля Сигизмунда III в 1606 г.

Биография
Представитель польского шляхетского рода Зебжидовских герба «Радван».
Единственный сын гетмана польного коронного Флориана Зебжидовского (ум. 1562) и Софии Дзиковны (ум. после 1568).

С 1560 по 1569 обучался в первой в Речи Посполитой иезуитской коллегии ( в Браунсберге (ныне Бранево) под руководством Станислава Гозия, получив хорошее знание латыни и глубокую религиозность, характеризовавшую его всю жизнь.

Участвовал вместе с королëм Стефаном Баторием в сражениях с Данцигом в 1576 и русскими войсками в 1577 в ходе Ливонской войны, принимал участие в битвах под Полоцком и осаде Пскова.

В 1580 в чине ротмистра осаждал Великие Луки.

Во время войн с Москвой Зебжидовский стал политическим сторонником великого канцлера Яна Замойского.

В 1585 был назначен старостой генеральным краковским и поселился на Вавеле. В 1589 Н. Зебжидовский — воевода любельский, затем в 1601 — воевода краковский (1601—1620).

С 1596 по 1601 — маршалок великий коронный Речи Посполитой.

Рокош Зебжидовского

Находясь под влиянием политики канцлера и гетмана Яна Замойского (ум. 1605), находился в оппозиции к королю Сигизмунду III по поводу внешней политики Речи Посполитой (войны со Швецией) и ряда вопросов внутренней политики.

Ян Замойский перед сеймом 1605 года возглавил оппозицию, но так как вскоре внезапно умер, его место занял Зебжидовский, как магнат пользующийся среди шляхты большой популярностью.

Политика Сигизмунда III была нацелена на укрепление королевской власти, опиравшуюся на узкую группу магнатов и епископов. Поводом к возникновению мятежа послужил частный спор между королём и Николаем Зебжидовским, в результате которого Зебжидовский был приговорен к смертной казни, которая позже была заменена изгнанием.

Рокош Зебжидовского длился с 1606 по 1609 год. Руководителями восстания были кроме Зебжидовского, Ян Щасный Гербурт, Станислав Стадницкий и виночерпий Литвы Януш Радзивилл.

Католики и протестанты, власть имущие и шляхта воевали за или против закона, запрещающего монарху в дальнейшем дробить и дарить земельные уделы и о принуждении его изгнать иезуитов и иностранцев. Кроме того, участники мятежа хотели заставить депутатов Сейма строго соблюдать инструкции, получаемые теми на сеймиках, от которых депутаты избирались.

Восстания завершилась победой короля в битве под Гузовым в 1607 году. Однако курс на укрепление самодержавной власти короля и централизаторская политика Сигизмунда III все же были прекращены.

После 1608 отошёл от активной политической жизни и бо́льшую часть времени проводил в построенном им бернардинском монастыре, названном позже Кальвария-Зебжидовска.

По свидетельству биографов, Николай Зебжидовский был глубоко верующим католиком. Отличался трудолюбием, не скупился на пожертвования в пользу государства и церкви, считался защитником католиков в их конфликтах с протестантами.

О его деятельности в пользу церкви нунции Польши постоянно сообщали в апостольскую столицу.

Поэтому папа римский Климент VIII, хорошо знавший воеводу, а также Павел V считали Зебжидовского первым, среди светских лиц, защитником католической веры в Польше, в первую очередь орденов иезуитов, бернардинцев, бонифратров, кармелитов босых и др.

Умер после трехмесячной болезни 17 июня 1620 и был похоронен сыном Яном в Кракове, в часовне (каплице) Зебжидовских на Вавеле рядом с женой Доротой (дочерью Якуба Гербурта)

A delicious buttermilk apple cake recipe studded with tender apples and topped with sugar and nutmeg. Recipe adapted only slightly from Canal House Cooking Volume No. 7: La Dolce Vita via Leite's Culinaria.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease and flour a 9-inch springform cake pan.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or hand held beaters, beat butter on medium speed until light and airy. Add 3/4 cup sugar, and continue beating until everything is pale and fluffy. Stop mixer as needed to scrape down sides. Switch mixer back on, and add the egg, followed by the vanilla.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, use a fork to combine flour, baking powder, sea salt, and nutmeg.
Switch mixer to low and add half the flour mixture, followed by all the buttermilk, and then the second half of the flour mixture. Add zest and mix on low just until combined.
Spoon batter into prepared pan. Arrange apple slices in a circle along the outer edge of the pan, so that slices are set straight down onto batter. Create a star pattern inside the circle, and add one final slice at the very center. Sprinkle top with 2 tablespoons sugar and several grates of nutmeg.
Place on a rimmed baking sheet and slide into oven. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, or until the top is a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached.


Laura Baehr holds her B.A. in dance and B.S. in neuroscience from Muhlenberg College. She has recently moved back to her native Philadelphia area to pursue her professional career. Some of Laura's recent collaborations include work with Keila Cordova, Craig Scull, IdiosynCrazy Productions, Sydney Skybetter, The Bang Group, Tiffany Mills, and Charles O. Anderson. Laura enjoys teaching as a Dance for Parkinson's Disease Instructor through the Mark Morris Dance Group under the direction of David Leventhal. When she's not dancing, Laura works in a research lab at the University of Pennsylvania studying traumatic brain injury.
Laura is inspired by the work of BOA because Sutie and the company crave to engage both as artists and scientists to better understand the neural underpinnings of movement disorders such as Tourette's syndrome. She will work as a performer and researcher with BOA to discover more deeply the re-awakening that art brings to the brain and body of those with movement disorders.

Two boys committed suicide by suffocating their daughter without getting justice for her sexual abuse
May 17, 2021 - 01:11 Updated: Jun 11, 2021 - 17:01
This government has destroyed the justice system of the country. ঐ The people of the area should first try the DC, SP, UNO, OC of the police station and the local MP by whitewashing them. Will the citizens of the country commit suicide and die without getting justice? How much more? Whoever is collaborating with this mafia government and killing the citizens of the country with mental, physical and sexual torture, give a mass whitewash. Then he would not have celebrated his birthday in the name of Independence Day by spending 5 thousand crores of rupees. He has destroyed the treatment and education of the citizens. Why our citizens will die because of them. So if they exist, no one in Bangladesh will be able to live in peace.
Let every traitor be whitewashed. This will be a safe and secure Bangladesh free from mafia and terrorism.

In Honor of Kevin Larkin
When I first met Kevin Larkin, I was just a volunteer working my way through graduate school. I'd heard about him previously, having done some work in the office and warehouse, and it was apparent he held the respect of the staff and volunteers. I was excited to meet him when I was scheduled for my first shift at Preston's Pantry.
As the lead volunteer at Preston's Pantry, his presence was both commanding and approachable. I could see why so many people at Lift UP spoke highly of him.
What I hadn't anticipated was the boundless dedication and devotion he had for the clients, shoppers, and the community. The commitment Kevin had for ensuring that everyone was treated with the same care and respect came through in all of his actions, from making sure the shelves were organized and stocked to answering questions and pointing out new food items to shoppers. People knew him, and he knew them. He took great care in remembering the people who were regular shoppers and was instantly welcoming and helpful to newcomers.
He also took great pride in overseeing Oregon Food Bank's Free Food Market program. Arriving no later than 6am on the third Wednesday of every month, he had the tables and food crates ready to go before volunteers arrived. He was meticulous with his setup, with no reason other than making sure each item was displayed in a way that made it easy for 90 people to comfortably shop in under an hour.
Kevin passed away on Monday, June 1 of 2020. He set a standard for me that I continue to strive for in every way Lift UP supports our community. I'd like to share some reflections from those who knew him best:
Kevin gave 110% to the operations of Preston's Pantry. He was truly the face of Lift UP to our community. Kevin had the respect and affection of everyone from staff, volunteers, clients, and neighbors. He was dedicated to ensuring everyone was treated with dignity and respect. I learned a lot from working with him.
Teresa Steichen, Preston's Pantry Manager
I had the privilege of working with Kevin at the Pantry on Tuesdays. Kevin was intrepid. He worked harder than any of us. He was dedicated to Lift UP and our clients. He was always at the Pantry before we arrived and stayed beyond when we finished our shift. He had a wry sense of humor which added to the camaraderie that our Tuesday group enjoyed. He was a leader though he would never have called himself one. Lift UP and the world lost someone special when Kevin passed away.
Jil Morby, volunteer and board member
Kevin was a wonderful Pantry lead volunteer. He helped me with many things but always did it naturally with a sense of humor. One memory I have is him saying to load the bread loaves with the twist ties in back so the clients could read what type of bread it was. He did this in a way which did not make me feel utterly stupid. And when I worked intake he always helped out with a strange situation or a potential client difficulty. I will truly miss Kevin who volunteered so much of his life to helping people.
Chip Brown, Preston's Pantry Volunteer
I met Kevin during Supper Club. Supper Club was my first experience as a volunteer with Lift UP and he was the building lead so he was one of the first people I met. First and foremost he made me feel welcome in their space, directed me to where to find things and introduced me to all the residents. The other thing I noticed about Kevin is that he was always the guy who volunteered to do the dishes - the task no one wanted to do! But he always jumped in, no questions asked. I feel fortunate to have met Kevin and we were so lucky to have him in the Lift UP community.
Michelle Roseborough, Supper Club volunteer
It's hard to not overstate what Kevin did for Lift UP and what kind of special human being he was. Kevin is an example of the type of person we all strive to be, an exceptional person. On a personal note, because I am a Big Ten Alum and Kevin LOVED Notre Dame. We always had a healthy back & forth discussion about our teams standings and performance. Because of that I wanted to give Kevin something special, so I found a nice Notre Dame T-shirt online and sent away for it. I presented it to him after a big Notre Dame victory, which surprised him, I think. Kevin never ever wanted any kind of recognition for his volunteer work, and would not accept any type of financial support, which shows how unselfish and caring he was in real life. I think now maybe, just maybe, he is proudly wearing the Irish Green and Gold in heaven. Go Irish!
Mark Uhrich, volunteer and former board member
I worked Thursday nights and if one or two volunteers didn't show up, I would call Kevin and he would be there, no questions asked. He was so kind and friendly to everyone. I went to Supper Club at his building once and everyone knew and looked up to him. He was one of the funniest people I knew. He cracked me up and calmed me down when people didn't show up for work. I was so glad to be his friend. Rest In Peace Kevin. He's one of a kind. He was so young to be taken away.
Mark Todd, former volunteer at Preston's Pantry
Kevin's contribution to Lift UP was powerful. He had a great work ethic, energy, and commitment, not only to Lift UP but to the people who shopped at Preston's Pantry. His mischievous nature was playful and fun, making the clients and volunteers feel welcome and comfortable. Kevin loved the NY Mets Baseball team, his Irish heritage, good movies and butter. We often talked about all the food that made butter better. I miss his friendly exchange of teasing, and generous personality. He was a special person with a big heart. I will always cherish his friendship.
Monica McKune - Preston's Pantry volunteer
The Rose Haven Community had the pleasure of working beside Kevin for many years while we co-located with the Preston's Pantry in Northwest Portland. We will all remember fondly what a gentle soul he carried, and how he was always looking out for the women and children we serve. His kind spirit will be missed by many.
Katie O'Brien, Executive Director of Rose Haven
Kevin Larkin was truly a larger than life human being. His life touched the lives of so many in our Northwest community, and I, for one, am changed for so much good for having been his friend.He was truly one of the hardest workers I have ever had the pleasure to work beside. I got to know his humor, his "gruff" exterior at times and his loving, compassionate heart as he toiled, cajoled and interacted with every single client and volunteer who was a part of the pantry. He made such impacts within our neighborhood, among them being with the church staff, Rose Haven staff, Medallion residents and even our houseless friends living on the streets. In the past few weeks, I have been stopped and asked by former pantry clients in the neighborhood as to where and how "that big guy, Kevin" was and how he was doing. That, alone, is testimony to just the impact one very special man can have on a community. May his spirit live on in all of us. I miss you, buddy.
Susan Wolfe, Preston's Pantry volunteer
I got to know Kevin a number of years ago. He and I both volunteered at Free Food Market but in different capacities. At first, I found Kevin to be intimidating. He was a big guy with a deep voice and an air of confidence. He always seemed very much in charge. One of his responsibilities was to help set up the food provided by the Oregon Food Bank and arrange it by product. He would then take his position behind the food table to guide the shoppers in their selections. He was very protective of the produce in front of him and firm about the number of items a shopper could take. As I got to know him, however, I recognized a very sweet, caring fellow who took his job very seriously. He was always early to arrive and help set-up, and one of the last to leave. Kevin found joy and fulfillment in volunteering for Lift UP. Those of us who worked with him found joy and fulfillment knowing Kevin.
Nikki Director, Free Food Market volunteer
Kevin was a mountain of helpfulness. It was obvious that Kevin was a "Go-To" individual who got things done at Preston's Pantry.
A couple years back I wrote a dozen or so individually created "thank you" notes for the people at Preston's Pantry. I knew that the day I was there not all who worked at Preston's Pantry would be there, so I asked Kevin to make sure the other folks who worked there got a "thank you" card. When I followed up with Kevin he assured me cards were handed out, and that's all I needed to know.
He was the kind of fellow you thought would always be around doing good things. He will be missed.
Rich Riegel
Kevin was featured in this video I put together for Lift UP a few years back. He was a sweet man with a big heart. I will miss him.
