Made with McIntosh, or whatever other soft-textured apples you have on hand, this is a very tall, rustic-looking, little-lopsided, fabulously-flavored and pleasingly-textured creation. We've paired it with maple-brown sugar frosting which has a caramel flavor that goes supremely well with the apples and spice in the cake. You can serve each layer on its own as three, one-layer, maple-frosted cakes, or, do as we've done and stack them into one, towering apple amazement. Either way, be forewarned: The cake doesn't slice perfectly, due to all the apples, and there is one fussy bit: You'll have to line the cake-pans with well-greased parchment—sides AND bottoms—as you would when making a fruitcake, to get the cakes to release from the pans properly.
Make cake: Peel, cored and medium dice enough McIntosh apples (or a mixture of any apple variety with some portion of softer-textured apples) to make 6 cups. Set aside.
In the bowl of a large stand mixer, whip butter with sugar for five minutes until light-colored, volumized and fluffy. Beat eggs in one at a time. In a separate bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt) sift, whisk or stir with fork to mix dry ingredients well. Alternating with the buttermilk, fold 1/3 of dry ingredients followed by 1/3 of buttermilk into the butter/sugar mixture, until all are incorporated. Stir in the diced apples. Preheat oven to 350.
Generously grease three 9-inch baking pans. Line the sides of each pan with a long, thin strip of parchment paper cut to fit. Line the bottom of each pan with a circle of parchment. Lightly grease the parchment (yes–you are greasing again, even though you already greased the pans). Fill each pan with equal amount of batter. Bake at 350 for 50 to 55 minutes until tops of cakes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick comes out without any trace of unbaked batter. If your oven rack is too small to allow all three pans on one rack, set racks as close to center of oven as possible and every 20 minutes, shift pans so that each one gets equal time on each rack level.
Remove cakes from oven. Cool on racks.
Make frosting: In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, melt butter. Add brown sugar and maple syrup and heat over low heat for 2 minutes. Stir in salt. Add half-and-half and whisk, heat until boiling. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Sift in powdered sugar, whisking to incorporate until smooth and creamy. Frost cake while frosting is still hot and pourable.
Assemble cake immediately after making frosting (it sets up very quickly!) If serving cakes individually as one-layer cakes, place cakes on three separate platters and pour maple frosting over the surface of each cake, allowing some of the frosting to pour over the sides. If serving the cake as a three-layer, place first layer on serving platter pour maple frosting over the surface, allowing some of the frosting to drip down the sides. Quickly repeat this process with the remaining two layers.

I'm stumped. I have 62 quiz questions. I would like to create a quiz that radomly picks 30 of these questions to include in the quiz.. Can I do this?
Oh and anytime anyone accessed the quiz, a different set of 30 questions would be displayed.
You can definitely set up the quiz questions to randomize, through the use of a question bank. You may also want to review these videos which demonstrate how to randomize them.
Thank you. I did figure that out but now I need to know how to number randomized questions drawn from a question bank.
Manually create a variable with the type of number, and same it something like "QuestionNumber" with initial value of zero.
Sounds good Thomasina, and let us know if you need anything else!
I have an issue for when the end-user clicks "Review Quiz" my "QuestionNumber" continues to count in this view. I'm using a question bank of 25 out of 78 and when the end-user reviews the quiz it starts at 26 to 50 and keeps counting every time they click the "review quiz" . Is there a way to turn this off.
I figured it out. I made the "QuestionNumber" -25.00. Took two days to figure this out but I did it. Thank you for the mental support.
Thanks for the update and I'm glad you were able to figure out a method that would work for you. It sounds like you're using variables, so I did want to share information here on adding variables and working with variable references.
Thank you. I booked marked for later reference.
"Hi Thomasina, Since you'll be randomizing them, you'll need to set ..."

Francesco Clemente: Beauty Without Witness, April 2020
May 15–June 12, 2020
#BeautyWithoutWitness
The key image that I had in mind was the image of the shifting line where the water touches the land, the shifting line of separation, the ambiguity of the shore. The equivalent of twilight, a time where the light is uncertain, the light is undefined. The place in between, which has always been a subject, maybe the subject of what I make. The space in between, the gap between identities, the gap between stylistic solutions, the gap between soft and harsh. . . . The body as the gap between the inner world and the outer world. —Francesco Clemente
Titled by curator Carlos Basualdo, who described Francesco Clemente's most recent body of work as "una bellezza senza testimoni," or "a beauty without witnesses," Lévy Gorvy's online viewing room features twelve watercolors painted by the artist at his MacDougal Street home in New York during this time of self-isolation. These richly colored and intimate works depict seascapes populated with shells and toys washed ashore, evoking fantastical worlds and childhood memories. Here, as throughout his celebrated oeuvre, Clemente has used color as a conduit of emotion. His saturated palette enhances the element of nostalgia in these works and calls attention to the poignancy of this moment—a time of loss and discovery. Further heightening the effect and inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e prints, Clemente has dated each work in a bold, stamp-like rectangle, a new motif in his decades-long interaction with watercolor.
In a recent conversation with his long-time friend with whom he co-founded Hanuman Books, writer Raymond Foye, Clemente discussed his exploration of what the artist calls the "in-between," symbolized by the subject of the shoreline as well as the blurred lines rendered by the aqueous medium of watercolor. This is a theme to which the artist has continuously returned: the gap between the internal and external worlds of the mind and body. At a time when many are confined to their homes, this connective space is especially relevant. It reappears when comparing his use of vivid hues over the past weeks in New York with his approach to color in India, a country in which he has also spent long periods in solitude; while the saturation in these works seems to defy the transparency inherent to watercolor, Clemente considers that it emanates from a need to ground "this space in between where we are sitting."

New York|State Senate Grinds to a Halt as Neither Party Can Make a Majority

State Senate Grinds to a Halt as Neither Party Can Make a Majority
After it became clear that one of his party's bills would not pass, State Senator Andrew J. Lanza, a Republican, took to the floor on Thursday and said, "This is what people hate, around the state, about what goes on in politics."Credit...Nathaniel Brooks for The New York Times
By Jesse McKinley
ALBANY — Stalemate. Stymied. Stuck.
Any of the above describe the current state of play in the New York State Senate, where a raft of pending bills were set aside for a second straight day after it became evident that the ruling Republican majority could not muster the 32 votes to pass a bill — again because of the absence of a Navy-bound senator and the hairs-breadth division in chamber's membership.
The Republicans only hold their majority in the 63-seat chamber because of the continuing defection of Simcha Felder, a Brooklyn Democrat who caucuses with Republicans. There are 31 other Democrats. But that slim advantage for the Republicans has been undercut in recent days by the decision of Senator Tom Croci, a Long Island Republican, to return to military service in the Navy, depriving his colleagues of the critical 32nd vote.
So it was that a day after they stopped a Democratic effort to vote on two bills concerning abortion rights on Wednesday, Republicans seemed to invite the same treatment — on a bill concerning concussion protocols for students.
The Republicans found themselves, with no support from the other side of the chamber, unable to get to 32 votes.
And then the speechifying began, often about the horror of politics, of all things, ruining any chance of lawmaking.
"This is what people hate, around the state, about what goes on in politics: it's sickening, it truly is," said Senator Andrew J. Lanza, a Republican from Staten Island, yelling at Democrats for "making a mockery of justice" and not protecting children. "Because of politics, they vote no."
That obloquy led to a sharp response from Senator Michael N. Gianaris, a Queens Democrat, who said that the Republicans had not announced which bills might be brought up that day, and were simply posturing without power to pass anything.
"They don't have the votes to pass a single thing in this chamber," Mr. Gianaris said, his voice also rising. "And their answer to that is to jam us with things," that the Democrats had no chance to read, review, or deliberate about.
"Senator Lanza is correct," Mr. Gianaris added, "Let's stop the shenanigans. Let's stop the politics."
That seemed unlikely anytime soon, of course, as Albany has another three weeks of legislative session before a six-month sojourn away from the Capitol. That period will also include the November elections, during which the Republicans may face strong political headwinds, including President Trump's unpopularity in his home state.
Democrats, who reunified in April after a seven-year schism involving eight breakaway members, who formed the Independent Democratic Conference, are hoping to win outright control of the Senate.
While the Senate is generally more genteel than the larger, more verbose State Assembly, the scene on Thursday caused leaders of both conferences to take swipes at the other.
"The Democrats have decided they don't want to govern," said the Republican Senate leader, John J. Flanagan, of Long Island. "They want to have politics rule the day. It's embarrassing, it's disgusting."
Mr. Flanagan's Democratic counterpart, Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, called Republicans' actions "unprecedented" and "an assault on our democracy," and accused Mr. Flanagan and his conference of stalling all legislation rather than considering the abortion bills her colleagues proffered on Wednesday.
"We are prepared to work with our colleagues across the aisle to go back to what is the normal process in this chamber," said Ms. Stewart-Cousins, the minority leader from Westchester County. "I think people expect nothing less."
The showdown, and the slowdown, in the Senate even prompted the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to wade in on Thursday. Its messenger was Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who serves as the official president of the Senate and who Democrats believe has a constitutional right to break any ties in the chamber.
The Republicans, naturally, dispute that, with Mr. Flanagan saying she had "no right whatsoever to vote on anything."
That being said, the Republicans quickly adjourned on Thursday when Ms. Hochul suddenly appeared in the chamber. She subsequently pronounced herself and Mr. Cuomo "offended by the actions taken today in the Senate."
The whereabouts of Senator Croci, meanwhile, remained a mystery. His office had previously said he was "in the States," and on Thursday, they would offer no additional details, including whether he was on a boat, on shore, or anywhere near Albany.
And finally, there was Mr. Felder, the rogue Democrat, who could give his party the majority if he wanted to side with them. He conceded on Thursday that he was tempted to rejoin his fellow Democrats, but had given his word to the Republicans that he would stay.
As for what happened — or didn't happen — on Thursday, Mr. Felder was succinct.
"It's just mischief," he said. "My mother would have probably said, 'Have you gotten this out of your system?'"

Dalits Denounce Anti-Secular Order Geared to Promoting Caste Hindu Hegemony
ThisIndiaAugust 7, 2011
Yoginder Sikand
Late last month, members of the National Council of Dalit Christians and the National Coordination Committee for Dalit Christians sat on a hunger strike in Delhi, followed by a protest march through the streets of the capital, in which some 10,000 people participated. Their demand: extension of Scheduled Caste status and the benefits that go with it to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims. A number of top church leaders, including some 50 archbishops and bishops and hundreds of priests, pastors and nuns, participated in the demonstration, as did members of parliament from various opposition parties. Blaming the Congress Party for consistently denying SC status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims (who form a sizeable proportion of the Indian Christian and Muslim population respectively), the organisers declared that they would observe 10th August, the day on which a controversial Presidential Order was promulgated in 1950 denying SC status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims, as a Black Day all over the country. They exhorted Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims to vote only for those parties that are committed to SC status for these communities in the forthcoming panchayat and assembly elections. Leaders of the demonstration met with Mukul Wasnik, the Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Pawan Kumar Bansal, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Salman Kurshid, Minister for Law and Minority Affairs, Narayanasamy, Minister of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension, and the National Commission for Minorities, expressing the outrage of Dalit Christians and Muslims against the consistent denial SC status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims by the Indian state.
The demand for SC status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims is a long-standing one. Prior to 1947, the British, in response to growing demands from the oppressed castes led by Babasaheb Ambedkar, arranged for a number of castes, whose names were specified in a schedule (hence called `Scheduled Castes'), to be given reservations in government jobs and elected bodies. These castes had historically been treated as despised Untouchables, considered both by the wider society as well as the Hindu religion as sub-humans or worse. They were not defined by any religious label, however, and included a number of castes or sections thereof whose ancestors had converted over the centuries to various religions, such as Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Sikhism, in search of liberation from the shackles of caste that are sanctioned in Hinduism which, as Babasaheb Ambedkar rightly insisted, was a code designed to consign the Dalits and Shudras to eternal, religiously-sanctioned slavery. SCs thus included not just those who were defined as following `Hinduism' (although the very term `Hinduism' was recognized as vague and amorphous and although the Dalits, being despised outcastes, were treated by the `upper' castes as actually outside the caste system and the Hindu religion) but also those classified as following other religions, mostly Christianity and Islam.
However, no sooner had the British left than this system of affirmative action was subverted under pressure from `upper' caste Hindu revivalists with a Presidential Order, passed in 1950, specifying that only Dalits who professed the Hindu religion could be treated as SCs. The Order was probably motivated by the desire to prevent the conversion of Dalits to non-Hindu religions, a strategy which they have historically resorted to in order to escape from the humiliation heaped on them by caste Hindus, which is sanctified as supposedly reflecting the divine will in the Brahminical scriptures. Insisting that one had to declare oneself to be a Hindu in order to be recognized as an SC was thus a bait dangled before the Dalits to remain within the Hindu fold. In the absence of this, there was every possibility of vast numbers of Dalits converting to other faiths, thereby depleting Hindu numbers, which, in turn, would have posed a major challenge to the hegemony of the `upper' caste Hindu minority and fractured the myth of the Hindus being a single, monolithic `majority' community—a myth that is indispensable for the `upper' caste minority to justify its continued dominance by claiming to speak for all `Hindus', thus projecting its own caste/class interests as synonymous with those of `Hindus' as a whole. Keeping the Dalits within (and at the bottom of) the Hindu fold was seen as crucial to preserving `upper' caste rule. If conversion to non-Hindu religions was one major way in which Dalits have, for centuries, sought to challenge `upper' caste Hindu tyranny, the Presidential Order put an effective halt to it.
Since non-Dalits in general have historically, and now, too, been indifferent, even hostile, to the Dalits, from Babasaheb Ambedkar onwards the Dalits have had looked to the state for redress. And so, when, with the Presidential Order, only those Dalits who defined themselves as `Hindus' could hope to benefit from state-sponsored affirmative action measures, it meant that they simply had no alternative but to accept this patently unfair measure in order to improve their fortunes, even if this meant accepting to be defined as followers of a religion that is premised on their total degradation. This affront to Dalit self-respect was the price they had to pay in the hope of being able to witness at least some improvement in their extremely degraded conditions, in creating which caste Hindus and their religion were mainly responsible.
Yet, the Order, which was nakedly anti-secular and anti-democratic, was stiffly resisted by non-Hindu Dalit groups. In the face of strong protests, over the years the Indian state was compelled to extend Scheduled Caste status to Sikh and Buddhist Dalits. Yet, it continues to deny the same to Christian and Muslim and Dalits. This is a clear violation of the Constitutional rights of these groups that number in the tens of millions. It is a patent act of discrimination on the basis of religion engaged in by the Indian state itself. It compels Dalits to identify themselves (often against their will, given the degraded status that Hinduism consigns them to) as `Hindus', thereby artificially inflating Hindu numbers. Although the Brahminical texts, the basis of what is called `Hinduism', clearly do not recognize Dalits as members of the Hindu society, treating them as `polluting' beings and as avarnas or outside the four-fold varna system, below even the degraded Shudras, by insisting that the Dalits identify themselves as `Hindus' if they wished to enjoy Scheduled Caste status, in one stroke the Indian state engaged in a massive act of religious conversion, converting, through the force of law, millions of people to a religion that is predicated on the denial of their humanity. The law went further and actually encouraged non-Hindus to convert to Hinduism. According to the law, if a Christian or Muslim Dalit converts to `Hinduism', he is automatically entitled to SC status. This is another way in which the state acts as a missionary agent of Brahminism.
`Upper' caste Hindu leaders seek to justify the discriminatory religious clause attached to the SC category on the grounds that it is a `compensation' for the degradation that Hinduism, in contrast to Christianity and Islam, prescribes for the Dalits, using this as an argument to deny Scheduled Caste status to Christian and Muslim Dalits. This claim of theirs is deeply flawed. It clearly contradicts their repeated claims of the alleged superiority of Hinduism and of its supposed teachings of universal compassion and tolerance, and clearly exposes their bogus proclamations that caste-discrimination is actually not integral to Hinduism if it is `correctly' understood. It also ignores the fact Sikhism and Buddhism (treated by them as `branches' of Hinduism, the protests of their votaries to the contrary not withstanding) clearly
denounce caste-discrimination and untouchability but yet Buddhist and Sikh Dalits enjoy Scheduled Caste status. There is thus no logical reason to deny the same status to Dalit followers of other theoretically egalitarian religions, such as Christianity and Islam. The absurdity of this restriction appears even more apparent when considered in the light of the fact that no such religious restrictions apply in the case of the Scheduled Tribes. Moreover, by seeking to restrict SC status to `Hindu' Dalits on the grounds that it is only in Hinduism that caste-discrimination is sanctioned, those who oppose extending SC status to Dalit Christians and Muslims conveniently ignore the fact that despite their conversion, Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims continue to suffer caste-discrimination not only from their `high' caste co-religionists but also from the very `upper' caste Hindus, to escape whose tyranny their forefathers had converted to other, theoretically egalitarian religions. In addition to this, they also suffer from deprivation and discrimination on account of being members of stigmatized religious minorities.
If SC status and the benefits that go with it are intended to address historical caste-based socio-economic deprivation, then Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims have possibly an even more compelling case for SC status than many others. This is because being deprived of SC status for more than half a century, Dalit Christians and, in particular, Dalit Muslims, are probably worse off, in terms of major socio-economic indicators, than many of the so-called `Hindu' Dalits. Unlike the latter, they are denied reservations in jobs and elected bodies. They are not protected from anti-SC atrocity legislations. No separate provision is made for them in government schemes, in contrast to `Hindu' SCs. This is, therefore, added justification for scrapping the discriminatory provisions of the 1950 Presidential order and for extending SC status to them as well.
The demands of the Dalit Christian protestors in Delhi are thus entirely valid. The continued denial of SC status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims makes a complete mockery of the Indian state's much-vaunted claims of being democratic and secular. That said, it also needs to be recognized that at a time when public sector employment is rapidly contracting and government funding for education being drastically cut (all part of a `developmental' model that is clearly geared to promote the interests of the dominant castes/classes and global capital), Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims probably stand to gain but little in substantive terms from the benefits of reservations in jobs and educational institutions if at all they gain SC status. Be that as it may, their struggle is a worthy one.

 Zakk Wylde is possibly one of the most recognisable metal guitarists of all time. After all, with a stature and appearance like his you'd have a hard time missing him, but as the longtime guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne (as well as having some decent success fronting his Zakk Sabbath covers project recently), Wylde has become an established presence in metal's extensive pantheon. Somewhat ironically though, that's largely been done outside of his own band Black Label Society, certainly not a bad band, but being more of a straight-up hard rock and heavy metal outfit often leaves some of the more defined, less experimental edges sidelined, something that Black Label Society have struggled to cope with for a while now.
As such, the unfortunately-titled Grimmest Hits sees Black Label Society continuing their crusade while brandishing the same well-worn formula that they've had for decades now – crushing guitar work that takes a fair share of influence from classic metal; a rather no-frills lyrical approach that's cut from the same cloth; and Wylde's galloping solos and man-of-the-mountain bellows to tie everything together. But in fact, for their tenth full-length release, Grimmest Hits is actually a lot more compelling than it really should be, even if innovation is succinctly capped. Perhaps it's because that Wylde and his band do have more to offer instrumentally than any garden variety hard rock band, and alongside that older, weathered sound that seldom sounds slow or dated, there are hard rock thrills in this album that still resonate. The reference points are there – with tracks like Seasons Of Falter or Illusions Of Peace, there are clear homages paid to Wylde's love of Black Sabbath, amongst numerous others – but they're not bogged down in imitation that would otherwise hurt them as songs. Hell, even though The Only Words essentially feels like a cross between Lynyrd Skynyrd's Tuesday's Gone and Bad Company's Shooting Star, Wylde paring his voice back into a huskier rumble goes a long way in terms of identifiable personality.
On the flipside though, Grimmest Hits' lack of real variety does mean that certain tracks can bleed together or just remain completely anonymous in a tracklisting as weighty as this. The fact that A Love Unreal ends in virtually the same way as the following track Disbelief starts shows a lack of ingenuity, and on the whole, there are few moments of outright heaviness on this album that actually stick, mainly a gruff, gnarled guitar tone beyond any discernible melody and rhythm. If anything, Black Label Society fare better with the slower tracks here, like the languid southern-rock of The Day That Heaven Had Gone Away, or Nothing Left To Say with a clear influence from '90s radio-rock. There's a lot more texture and melody in these tracks than what's typically offered here, particularly when the sole purpose of some seems to be seeing how loud the guitars can be hammered.
Even so, Grimmest Hits doesn't do a lot wrong necessarily, and as an exercise of seeing Black Label Society playing to their strengths, there's certainly a lot of that done here. Even though it's not reinventing the wheel or anything, this is an album that will undoubtedly play well to an already accumulated fanbase – it gives them what they want and does so in a way that doesn't forgo any effort or feel rushed. It's just a good, simple album from a band who have admittedly done better, but considering the skidding halt that the careers of so many bands their age has come to, it's probably best to take what you can get.
'Grimmest Hits' by Black Label Society is released on 19th January on Spinefarm Records.


When the St. Catharines Hospital Auxiliary was formed, Canada was not yet a country. Queen Victoria was Head of State but women did not yet have the right to vote. The Auxiliary pre-dated the telegraph, telephone, typewriter and transcontinental railway.
The St. Catharines Hospital Auxiliary began in 1865 when seven community-minded women in St. Catharines met at the request of Dr. Theophilis Mack to form a committee to aid a new hospital for the poor.
The Auxiliary has evolved through its 150 years, but one thing remains constant: It and the auxiliaries at each of Niagara Health System's sites play a vital role in providing quality patient-centred care. The Auxiliary, the oldest in Canada, marked its 150th anniversary with a celebration luncheon today in St. Catharines.
Auxiliary members across Niagara give thousands of hours each year to our patients and their families, physicians and staff. They raise millions of dollars to buy much-needed equipment like incubators, ultrasound scanners and cardiac monitors. They contribute funding for new emergency rooms and intensive care units. And they provide people with a deep sense of humanity through their kindness and caring.
"We couldn't provide high-quality care without the vitally important contributions that our volunteer auxilians across Niagara make as valued members of our health-care team," says Dr. Johnston.

Increasing number of detained journalist in Israeli jails
On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian Journalist
Journalist Support Committee: the number of Palestinian Journalists in the Israeli jails increased to 29 journalists.
The Journalist Support Committee confirmed that the Israeli Occupation continues to target media freedoms by increasing its attacks on Palestinian journalists without any international pressure to cease its continuous violations of all international and legal agreements that promote freedom of expression.
The committee stated in a special report on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian Journalist, which occurs on 26 of September, that the violations against journalists and media personnel were deliberately committed by the Israeli Forces using excessive force, and not justified by any military necessity under the false pretext of incitement.
The committee clarified that in conjunction with the International Solidarity Day with the Palestinian journalist, the Israeli Forces arrested journalist Ragheed Tabassiya, an anchor on Al-Najah TV in the West Bank, after breaking into his home in Al-Naqqar neighborhood in Qalqilya, bringing the number of journalists held in Israeli prisons to 29 journalists and reporters.
The report monitored more than 465 Israeli violations against journalists since the beginning of the current year of 2017, noting in its report that last July witnessed the highest rate of violations, which amounted to 116 Israeli violations, most of them in occupied Jerusalem during their coverage at the Lions' Gate.
The report pointed out that the violations included arrest, detention, the extension of detention, direct assault with the aim of causing harm, such as firing live and metal bullets.
The report also recorded 73 cases of arrests and detentions since the beginning of the current year 2017, and 43 cases of extension of detention of journalists detained in Israeli jails, some of them suffered from repetitive extended detention.
As for the number of casualties among journalists and reporters, the report stated that since the beginning of the year, 154 journalists have been subjected to direct attacks, including rubber-coated metal bullets, sound bombs, and batons, as well as cases of suffocation and poisoning due to shooting poison and pepper gas at journalists while they're performing their professional duty.
More than 39 cases were documented for prevention of coverage, confiscation of equipment and withdrawal of press cards, and 10 cases of travel ban.
In addition, 11 cases of incitement and accusation were recorded, and 16 cases of closure of institutions and websites, including the closure of Al-Jazeera's office, the banning of Palestine Today TV's website, the closure of Manbar Al-Hurriya radio station, suspension of broadcast of Al-Nawras TV, and Yabous cultural center in occupied Jerusalem.
The report pointed out 78 cases of storming and raiding many press and media institutions, accompanied with destruction and vandalism.
The occupation, not only prosecuted journalists and confiscated their cameras while performing their duty, but persisted in torturing journalist in the prisons both physically and morally by preventing family visits and even their lawyers, in addition to imposing fines. These cases amounted to 45, as recorded by the committee.
The committee stated: "We salute the press crews working in the Palestinian media and press organizations for their great efforts in serving the Palestinian cause, and we emphasize on a number of issues:
We extend our deepest appreciation to all the colleagues who continued to perform their professional duties despite the risks and obstacles and the continuing attacks on them, valuing their efforts in keeping up with the events and conveying the reality of what is happening on the ground.
We strongly condemn the violations of the occupation on journalists performing their basic right and duty and consider these attacks as a failed attempt to obliterate the truth.
We alert against the escalation of the occupation's crimes against Palestinian journalists. We also call for the embodiment of genuine international solidarity with the Palestinian journalist through various forms to stop attacks on them.
We call on the international institutions concerned with the rights of journalists to act and to exercise necessary pressure on the occupation to stop its aggression against Palestinian journalists, especially that all international conventions and covenants allows freedom of movement, coverage and to report news freely without any pressure, emphasizing that article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights protect freedom of expression on the basis that everyone has the right to hold opinions without interference.
We appeal to all parties to take responsibility, especially the international and local media, by highlighting the continuous terrorism against the Palestinian media in their press work.
We call on the social media activists and all media platforms to support the Palestinian journalist and to shed light on the gravity of the violations and their great impact on journalists, media freedoms and freedom of expression.
At the end, we deplore all harassment made by the security services against journalists and media institutions, and criminalizing them by the illegal cybercrime law, which we demand to be repealed".

Q: Creating an NSArray initialized with count N, all of the same object I want to create an NSArray with objects of the same value (say NSNumber all initialized to 1) but the count is based on another variable.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this with any of the intializers for NSArray except for one that deals with C-style array.
Any idea if there is a short way to do this?
This is what I am looking for:
NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:0]
                                           count:anIntVariable];

NSNumber is just one example here, it could essentially be any NSObject.

A: I can't see any reason why this structure in a non-mutable format would be useful, but I am certain that you have your reasons.
I don't think that you have any choice but to use a NSMutableArray, build it with a for loop, and if it's really important that the result not be mutable, construct a NSArray and use arrayWithArray:

A: I agree with @mmc, make sure you have a valid reason to have such a structure (instead of just using the same object N times), but I'll assume you do.
There is another way to construct an immutable array which would be slightly faster, but it requires creating a C array of objects and passing it to NSArray's +arrayWithObject:count: method (which returns an autoreleased array, mind you) as follows:
id anObject = [NSNumber numberWithInt:0];
id* buffer = (id*) malloc(sizeof(id) * anIntVariable);
for (int i = 0; i < anIntVariable; i++)
  buffer[i] = anObject;
NSArray* array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:buffer count:anIntVariable];
free(buffer);

You could accomplish the same thing with even trickier pointer math, but the gains are fairly trivial. Comment if you're interested anyway.

A: Probably the reason there is no such method on NSArray is that the semantics are not well defined.  For your case, with an immutable NSNumber, then all the different semantics are equivalent, but imagine if the object you were adding was a mutable object, like NSMutableString for example.
There are three different semantics:

*

*retain — You'd end up with ten pointers to the same mutable string, and changing any one would change all ten.

*copy — You'd end up with ten pointers to the same immutable string, or possibly ten different pointers to immeduable strings with the same value, but either way you'd not be able to change  any of them.

*mutableCopy — You'd end up with ten different mutable string objects, any of which you could change independently.
So Apple could write three variants of the method, or have some sort of parameter to control the semantics, both of which are ugly, so instead they left it to you to write the code.  If you want, you can add it as an NSArray category method, just be sure you understand the semantic options and make it clear.
The method:
-(id)initWithArray:(NSArray *)array copyItems:(BOOL)flag

has this same issue.
Quinn's solution using arrayWithObjects:count: is a reasonably good one, probably about the best you can get for the general case.  Put it in an NSArray category and that's about as good as it is going to get.

A: The tightest code I've been able to write for this is:
id numbers[n];
for (int x = 0; x < n; ++x)
    numbers[x] = [NSNumber numberWithInt:0];
id array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:numbers count:n];

This works because you can create runtime length determined C-arrays with C99 which Xcode uses by default.
If they are all the same value, you could also use memset (though the cast to int is naughty):
id numbers[n];
memset(numbers, (int)[NSNumber numberWithInt:0], n);
id array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:numbers count:n];

If you know how many objects you need, then this code should work, though I haven't tested it:
id array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id[5]){[NSNumber numberWithInt:0]} count:5];

In assessing the feasibility and probability of Russia�s proposal to secure Bashar al-Assad�s chemical weapons, one overlooked factor should be paramount in our minds: Barack Obama is the luckiest politician on the face of the planet. If he were tied to a railroad track, the train would levitate and pass harmlessly over him. He�s always the windshield, never the bug.
When the Syrian dictator used them anyway, Obama was forced to prepare for a military strike that found scant public support. When he tried to gain the upper hand by asking for congressional authorization, he got an Arctically frigid reception.
So he faced two unpleasant possibilities: Congress would refuse, in which case he would look like a chump. Or it would agree, forcing him to carry out an attack that was likely to accomplish nothing except to wreck his approval rating.
But then along came the Russians to open an escape route. Acting in response to another unscripted remark, from Secretary of State John Kerry, they proposed to place Syria�s chemical gas arsenal under international control. The Syrians responded by not only admitting they had such weapons but also offering to surrender them.
The proposal sounded implausible and impractical, but it had too many things going for it to be passed up. Most important, it serves the interests of every important party. It spares the Syrian regime a damaging attack by the United States. It spares the rebels being gassed again. It validates the great power status of Russia � and might even win Vladimir Putin a Nobel Peace Prize.
Not least, it saves Obama from looking like an appeaser, a warmonger or an incompetent. It even allows Kerry to portray the administration as unsurpassed in its diplomatic brilliance.
Assad, Kerry says, caved because of the military threat. �Nothing focuses the mind like the prospect of a hanging,� said Kerry. By that point, if Assad was contemplating the gallows, he probably had concluded that the Americans couldn�t tie their own shoes, much less a noose.
But he may have found it harder to say no to Putin, his chief ally and his protector in the U.N. Security Council, where Russia had blocked action against Syria. His regime probably could survive an attack that Kerry had promised would be �unbelievably small.� But its long-term prospects would be dim without Russian help.
Valerie Hudson, a professor of international relations at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, told me this turn of events could hardly be better for the president. Once the U.N. Security Council takes ownership of the deal, she noted, �the United States is off the hook.� The heavy lifting to secure and monitor the chemical weapons stores will fall to Russia and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
While the deal won�t be leakproof, she argued, that�s not crucial. What�s crucial is �for Assad to have no incentives to use chemical weapons, but only disincentives.� The disincentives are the risk of antagonizing Putin, kissing off Russian support and uniting the Security Council behind military action.
It�s an uncannily fortunate turn of events for Obama, but this is the guy who won his 2004 Senate race after his chief Democratic opponent, and then the Republican nominee, fell victim to lurid scandals.
This is the guy who got Osama bin Laden after his own experts said there was only a 40 percent chance the al-Qaida leader was in the targeted building. This is the guy who got to run against John McCain and Mitt Romney, both masters of self-destruction.


Debbie Flowers can recall clearly the moment she started to fear her daughter Bethany's breathing difficulties were more than 'just asthma'.
The ten-year-old was diagnosed with the condition after coming back from a Girl Guide weekend with a wheezing chest.
At first Bethany — a 'happy-go-lucky and healthy child' — didn't seem bothered by her symptoms, says Debbie.
The doctor said it was asthma and prescribed an inhaler and medication — she also sent the family to A&E for Bethany's breathing to be checked.
'But the doctors said her breathing was fine, so we went home.
'I thought "job done",' recalls Debbie, a 43-year-old mother of three from Coventry.
But two days later, with no sign of 'Darth Vader' subsiding, Debbie took her daughter back to A&E.
This time, there was less of a welcome.
'None of the doctors actually said I was a paranoid, over-anxious mother but that was what their faces were saying.
'They told me stress was causing the asthma to persist.
But Debbie was far from reassured.
The following day, she watched her daughter as she moved about, her breath rasping loudly.
'Suddenly the alarm bells were ringing,' says Debbie.
'I just knew there was something wrong. Bethany would walk to the bathroom and could hardly breathe.
'And the difficulty she had was in breathing out — not breathing in, as normally happens with asthma.
It was a crucial observation.
Bethany had a two-centimetre tumour lodged in her windpipe that was periodically blocking her airways as she breathed out.
Debbie believes her instinct as a mother kicked in at that point.
Braving the disapproving glares of the staff, she took Bethany back to the doctors six more times over the next ten days: twice to the GP and then, as Bethany's condition deteriorated, calling an ambulance on four occasions to take her directly to hospital.
'The paramedics would give her a muscle relaxant — and by the time we arrived at the hospital, she'd be breathing normally,' says Debbie.
'I begged the doctors to watch when she was walking about — so they could see what happened when she started breathing heavily.
Instead, they kept repeating the same breathing (oxygen saturation) test, which involved Bethany sitting still for an hour or so with a clip on her finger.
Because she wasn't moving about, she'd be breathing normally.
'We'd be left in a room and someone would come in at the end and take off the clip and tell us everything was fine,' says Debbie.
Indeed, no doctor ordered blood tests or a scan — though her GP did order a chest X-ray, which showed nothing abnormal.
Two weeks after her first symptoms Bethany was finally admitted to hospital for observation as doctors reluctantly agreed the breathing was not typical of asthma.
But it was too late. That evening, Bethany suffered respiratory failure, causing her to fall down in the hospital shower.
She was taken back to bed in a wheelchair and left to sleep that night.
But by the next morning, the doctors started treating her as a medical emergency.
It soon became clear the child's lungs were filling up with carbon dioxide that could not be expelled.
'She died in an ambulance ten minutes into a journey to another hospital where the plan was to pump out her lungs,' Debbie recalls quietly.
The movement of being shifted about disturbed the tumour, causing a fatal cardiac arrest.
Whether her life could have been saved is difficult to say, according to Dr Roger Malcomson, the paediatric pathologist who gave evidence at the inquest in October 2009, a year after Bethany's death.
Certainly the tumour could have been surgically removed, possibly saving her life, he told the inquest.
But to diagnose it, 'a doctor would have had to look down the child's throat with a bronchoscope or order an MRI scan,' he said.
And yet, 'in hindsight, the way in which Bethany's severe symptoms were interrupted by periods of more normal breathing was more in keeping with a tumour periodically blocking her airways'.
Debbie is not angered by the failure to spot the rare cancer, however.
For her the doctors' mistake lies in their refusal to take her anxiety seriously and therefore investigate further.
'I've been racked with guilt that I didn't do more to keep Bethy alive.
'Perhaps I should have screamed and shouted or got myself arrested — anything to get them to listen to the one person in the world who knows the child inside out and back to front, and knew that something was seriously wrong,' she says.
Anxious to prevent other such tragedies, two months ago she launched an internet petition with the title Mothers Know Best to persuade the Department of Health to force doctors 'to listen and take action where necessary on the concerns voiced by parents'.
Perhaps surprisingly, there is considerable professional support — from the Department of Health downwards — for the idea that front-line doctors and nurses must pay closer attention to what parents, and mothers in particular, say about their sick children.
The statistics make grim reading.
Almost half of the 3,000 child deaths in the UK each year are avoidable, according to a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, published in the BMJ.
One in four of these deaths is caused by identifiable failures in medical care.
Shamefully, the UK had the worst death rates for children with 'amenable' (treatable) diseases compared with other European countries.
Parents often say it's the doctors' failure to take their concerns seriously that is to blame.
When Joanne Hughes's daughter, Jasmine, developed worrying symptoms following a viral infection in December 2010, the 20-month-old was sent home from a local hospital three times with the assurance that her condition was not urgent.
'Instead of getting better, she started to suffer shakes, tremors and became wobbly on her feet,' says Joanne.
In mid-January Jasmine was admitted to a local hospital where Joanne recalls telling a nurse she felt as if she was 'losing her — she kept zoning out'. Jasmine was then transferred to Great Ormond Street on February 1.
'But the doctors were undecided about her diagnosis and I was unable to convince them of the urgency of carrying out the diagnostic tests,' she says.
Jasmine died in February from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a post-viral illness affecting the brain.
'I'll never know whether earlier intervention could have saved Jasmine,' says Joanne.
'But I'm convinced that doctors can be too quick to judge a child's health against the normal parameters for their age.
Earlier this year, after meeting two other similarly bereaved parents she and her husband, Jeff, from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, set up a charity, Mothers' Instinct, to support other parents and ensure parental concerns about their children's health are being listened to.
The need to trust parental instincts may be particularly great in cases of childhood meningitis.
In half of all the cases the child is sent home with the false reassurance their symptoms are 'nothing serious', says the charity Meningitis UK, which urges parents to 'trust their instincts'.
'We firmly believe parents know their children best and if they are unsatisfied with the service, they should seek a second opinion,' says chief executive Kate Rowland.
What little research there is suggests mothers do indeed know best.
'Many mothers of very sick babies or children seem to have a sixth sense of danger often without even knowing why they are so worried,' says Dr Cynthia McVey, a psychologist specialising in child health at Glasgow Caledonian University.
'Anecdotal evidence shows very clearly these feelings may be based on subtle, almost imperceptible, changes in the way the child is crying or holding its body or indeed breathing, something that may seem quite trivial or unobservable by the doctor,' she says.
Unfortunately, this instinctive 'personal expertise' too often leads mothers into conflict with their doctors, according to Peter Callery, professor of child nursing at Manchester University.
'Clinicians are trained to look for particular symptoms of ill-health and they can be dismissive of mothers who use non-clinical language to describe their fears,' says Professor Callery, who has carried out interviews with scores of mothers about their experience with a sick child.
Instead of focusing exclusively on the symptoms of acutely ill children, clinicians should also look for more subtle signs — including 'taking account of an unusually distressed mother,' adds Ed Peile, professor of medical education at the University of Warwick.
This is important because of the particular vulnerability of children's physiology, which means acute illnesses can flare up and become dangerous within hours.
Last month, a report on the care of acutely ill children warned poor communication between doctors and parents leads to 'difficulty in the recognition of the severity of illness' and the current high rate of child mortality in the UK.
'We know that parents decide not to take around two out of three sick children to the doctors — and that decision is partly led by the underlying social expectation that parents shouldn't put their doctors to unnecessary trouble,' says Dr Sarah Neill, senior lecturer in child nursing at the University of Northampton.
Three years ago a unique online tool, Spotting the Sick Child, was developed to support frontline medical, nursing and paramedical staff in identifying children with severe acute illness.
Now academics are working with parents' groups and health professionals to produce a similar aid, possibly in the form of a mobile phone app, to help parents decide whether their sick child needs to see a doctor.
In another approach being pioneered in Leicester, parents who remain concerned after a consultation with a GP or A&E doctor can ask to see a community nurse.
'In the past few months, we have picked up several cases of children with meningitis who had been sent home by their doctor — as well as a case of empyema, an abscess on the lung, that fortunately was treated in time,' says Vicky Wells, clinical lead of the Children's Rapid Assessment Follow-up Team.
Above all, the scheme promotes a spirit of collaboration between doctors and parents — something Debbie believes will save lives.
'If my petition can make one doctor listen to a mother's concerns and carry out further examinations and tests that help save a child's life, then my beautiful daughter has left the right legacy,' she says.


MyTractorForum.com - The Friendliest Tractor Forum and Best Place for Tractor Information > Zero Turn Mowers, ZTR's and Commercial Turf Equipment > Pit Row > Front tire recommendations?
My neighbors commercial Toro ZTR needs new front tires. Anyone have recommendations for brands of tires? It's a full size 52" deck commercial and it weighs about 1400 pounds. Should I put tubes in them as long as I'm replacing tires? The lawn is a little bumpy as part of it was a farmyard decades ago.
Wanted to buy Toro 5xi series 79355 48" blade.
tubes have their place but i recommend not using them. during mowing season if and when you have a flat you must dis assemble to fix instead of using a plug or slim. i know there will be others that prefer tubes. depends on how good you are at fighting small tire changes.
I've never had bad luck with any Carlisle tire. Reasonable priced, too. If your ground is at all wet, check out smooth tires vs. ribbed.


The Mayni are an indigenous community based in Peru, we buy the majority of our coffee from them. It is believed that there are nearly a hundred indigenous communities in the wild forested areas of Peru, each having unique dialects and ways of life. The Mayni are one such group consisting of around thirty families that continue to live according to their traditions and beliefs, while providing coffee to national and international markets.
For the five years before José was introduced to the Mayni, they had been the benefactors of sponsorship that enabled them to grow coffee as sustainably as possible while ensuring maximum protection to the forest. This sponsorship came in the form of agricultural consultation and financial support from the Peruvian Government and the conservation group Programa Nacional del Conservación de Bosques para la Mitigación del Cambio Climatic (roughly translating to The National Program of Forest Conservation for the Mitigation of Climate Change).
As the sponsorship came to an end, José and his company Easy José Coffee began working with the Mayni, and over the past three years not only has his support and feedback has seen incredible change to their harvesting and processing of coffee, it has also ensured that the community can continue to thrive in their traditional and chosen way of life.
The forests cover steepsided mountains and are one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth, meaning its conservation is of paramount importance. As part of the Amazon cloud forest – so-called owing to a near constant cover of mist and low-lying cloud, the fragile ecosystem is so heavily intertwined with itself that a small breakdown in the chain could have horrendous repercussions.
The cloud forests are extremely vulnerable to the actions of humans, not only on the ground in terms of deforestation, but from the effects of climate change. Currently there is a 0.3 degree change in climate every year, although this sounds small,the impact on the ecosystem is dramatic. For example, prolonged periods of drought can cause irreparable damage to the rain-loving species that thrive in wetter conditions.
Luckily, the soil is very fertile which makes the reintroduction of plants and species reasonably straight forward. Coffee plants thrive in biodiverse, forested areas meaning that the indigenous communities can protect their forest from deforestation and have agricultural success at the same time. A match made in sustainability heaven.
Most of the indigenous communities pool their crops together, it is a mix of varieties, Catuai, Caturra, Typica, Red Bourbon and Yellow Bourbon. All of this coffee is sold exclusively to us and is the foundation coffee in both our Signature Espresso and Filter coffee blends.

Papa Linus () a fost, conform tradiției, succesorul lui Simon Petru în funcția de episcop al Romei. Ca și predecesorul său, ar fi murit ca martir creștin. Este pomenit la 23 septembrie.

Viața
Linus ar fi fost ales de Petru ca succesor al său, episcop al Romei. Ca papă a slujit vreme de 11 sau 12 ani, în funcție de sursele istorice examinate.

Linus este menționat de Irineu, episcopul de Lyon, care ne-a lăsat, în secolul al II-lea, o mărturie credibilă asupra primilor 12 episcopi ai Romei între care figurează și Papa Linus, identificat cu persoana menționată în a doua epistolă către Timotei ().

Conform sursei "Liber Pontificalis", papa Linus era de origine toscană. Tradiția mai târzie îl prezintă drept învățăcel de la Volterra venit la Roma pentru completarea studiilor. Acolo s-ar fi întâlnit cu Petru, prin care a cunoscut creștinismul și s-ar fi convertit.

Rolul în Biserica primară
Asupra funcțiilor și responsabilităților efective ale lui Papa Lin în cadrul Bisericii Catolice pot fi formulate numai ipoteze - sunt de părere cercetătorii - "datorită faptului că episcopatul monarhic nu era încă constituit". Papa Lin a condus credincioșii creștini din Roma într-o perioadă de mari convulsiuni politice.

În vara anului 64 e.c., trei cartiere din Roma au fost distruse de un incendiu de care a fost acuzat împăratul Nero care îi acuză la rândul său pe creștini și dezlănțuie o prigoană cumplită împotriva lor. Acestor creștini persecutați le este adresat îndemnul din prima scrisoare a lui Petru: "Să nu vi se pară stranie proba focului stârnită împotriva voastră (...) dimpotrivă, bucurați-vă pentru această porție de suferință pe care voi o îndurați pentru Christos".

În această prigoană s-a sfârșit și Simon Petru, probabil în 67, urmat de Papa Lin, într-o perioadă de încercare și de mari pericole.

Nero s-a stins în anul 68, cerând unui sclav să-l înjunghie și, chiar în acel an, urmează alte decese : Galba este decapitat în For, Otho se sinucide, Vitellius este linșat de romani.

În 69, odată cu venirea la putere a lui Vespasian, revine ordinea și pacea la Roma. Dar  atunci a izbucnit în Palestina revolta iudaică împotriva Romei, această revoltă se va încheia în 70 e.c. cu ocuparea Ierusalimului de trupele armate ale lui Titus (fiul lui Vespasian), cu profanarea și distrugerea templului: evenimente sfâșietoare pentru evrei și chiar pentru creștini și, prevestitoare de catastrofe universale iminente; un apropiat "sfârșit al lumii".

Tocmai în acești ani este chemat Papa Lin la slujire cu sarcina de a-i reînsufleți pe credincioși și de a-i călăuzi în confuzia doctrinară provocată de apariția sectei de (milenariștii). Papa Lin a menținut uniunea ecleziastică într-o perioadă caracterizată prin mari pericole și o profundă instabilitate politică. În decursul acestei crize politice s-a conturat idea și forma a ceea ce va deveni ulterior  "episcopat monarhic".

Scrieri atribuite de tradiție

Papei Linus îi sunt atribuite "Faptele sfinților Petru și Paul" (apocrif din sec. I) și "Disputa cu Simon Magul".

Papa Linus și-a încheiat viața creștină sigilând propria credință cu sângele: a murit martir sub Domițian - spun unele surse; altele însă - și faptul că nu este menționat ca martir de Irineu din Lyon, pare să confirme - spun că la moartea lui Biserica trăia în pace sub Vespasian, iar cinstirea sa ca martir se datorează numai faptului că a suferit în acele timpuri atât de confuze și de primejdioase.

If you are an educator for just about any amount of time, it soon gets to be apparent to you which type of students you will be teaching for the year. You will be also able to spot those children that are gifted, and often their rankings and documents provide evidence for which you may have currently suspected.
Below are a few techniques to better teach your gifted students, so that they can consistently shine.
The first thing you can do is to always avoid plenty of team activities where you combine your strongest students with your weakest students. Many times, it becomes an distressing condition for those little ones concerned. If somebody put you with a skilled NFL crew to work maneuvers, would you want it? Absolutely not, so try to keep group matchups equivalent. Make an effort to match the youngsters depending on their ability to perform the project with each other.
You may consider providing your gifted students less exercise type assignments. Since they can understand the methods more quickly than other kids, gifted students never should exercise math concepts ideas repeatedly again by way of examples. If they have completed several process steps and are confident that they know what you're concentrating on, permit them some time to focus on something different.
Simply because they have found the subject you happen to be teaching not too interesting, gifted youngsters can often have challenges using the school-structured courses as their interests rest somewhere else. Allow them to have a chance to provide superior designs, and to function a little more alone on some subject areas.
Solicit assistance from the gifted child's parents. This is often a good way to understand more about a child, plus a fantastic means for the parent to communicate together and with you also. The parents could be a fantastic partner with you and gifted students.
Talk to your principal and counselors about acquiring supplementary support for gifted children. Whether your district runs a gifted students system or otherwise not, it's typically a good idea to get other educators involved in the schooling of such students. The more folks functioning toward a gratifying encounter for kids, the better.
Give your gifted students an opportunity to expand. These students tend to be bored to tears inside a standard school atmosphere. And can effortlessly seem like troublemakers because they don't appear to be shaped in the mold of normal students. They don't see the purpose of doing a lot of schoolwork just to accomplish it.
You will need to make a partnership created on their confidence by using these youngsters, in order that they are able to show you whatever they know, and reveal the various way they see issues. When you compensate their advantages and present them opportunities to present you with their finest, they are going to. It is an ongoing procedure, so remain calm.
Gifted students could be a fascinating group to watch being a teacher. You need to simply make sure that you do everything to help these little ones understand all of their potential.

Higher Recycling Targets to Drive EU's Transition to Circular Economy
ThinktoSustain
Brussels – On July 2, the European Commission adopted proposals to turn Europe into a more circular economy and boost recycling in the Member States. Achieving the new waste targets would create 580,000 new jobs compared to today's performance, while making Europe more competitive and reducing demand for costly scarce resources.
The proposals also mean lower environmental impacts and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The plans ask Europeans to recycle 70% of municipal waste and 80% of packaging waste by 2030, and ban burying recyclable waste in landfill as of 2025. A target is also included for reducing marine litter along with food waste reduction objectives.
The review to strengthen waste targets in existing directives is put in the context of an ambitious drive towards fundamental transition from a linear to a more circular economy. Instead of extracting raw materials, using them once and throwing them away, the new vision is for a different economic model. In a circular economy, reuse, repair and recycling become the norm, and waste is a thing of the past. Keeping materials in productive use for longer, reusing them, and with improved efficiency would also improve EU competitiveness on the global stage. This approach is set out in a Communication, which explains how innovation in markets for recycled materials, new business models, eco-design and industrial symbiosis can move us towards a zero waste economy and society.
Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik said, "We are living with linear economic systems inherited from the 19th Century in the 21st Century world of emerging economies, millions of new middle class consumers, and inter-connected markets. If we want to compete, we have to get the most out of our resources, and that means recycling them back into productive use, not burying them in landfills as waste. Moving to a circular economy is not only possible, it is profitable, but that does not mean it will happen without the right policies. The 2030 targets that we propose are about taking action today to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and exploiting the business and job opportunities it offers."
European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science Máire Geoghegan-Quinn said, "Research and innovation are the keys to success for the circular economy, which is why we are proposing a joined-up approach today. Alongside a supportive regulatory framework, our new Horizon 2020 programme will contribute the know-how necessary to shape a resource efficient, green and competitive low carbon economy in the EU."
The Communication shows how new growth and job opportunities will emerge from a more efficient use of resources. Greater efficiency will be driven by innovative design, better performing and more durable products and production processes, forward-looking business models and technical advances to turn waste into a resource. The package that accompanies the Communication aims to create a framework to help the circular economy become a reality, with policies that are better interlinked, smart regulation and active support from research and innovation. This will unlock investment and attract financing while promoting a strong role for business and participation by consumers. The package also suggests that resource productivity should be measured on the basis of GDP/Raw Material Consumption, and that an improvement of 30% by 2030 could be considered as a possible candidate for a headline target in the forthcoming review of the Europe 2020 Strategy.
These initiatives are adopted simultaneously with complementary Communications on
A Green Employment Initiative
A Green Action Plan for SMEs
Resource Efficiency Opportunities in the Building Sector
Together these will launch a renewed resource efficiency agenda for the coming years.
The legislative proposals will now pass to the Council and the European Parliament.
Progress on achieving the resource productivity target will be monitored in the European Semester of economic governance. Such a target is to be considered in the context of the mid-term review of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Research and innovation efforts in the area of circular economy will be stepped-up. The policy framework for promoting the circular economy will be further developed over the coming years.
The legislative proposals refer mainly to the Waste Framework Directive, the Landfill Directive and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. In addition to the targets review, waste legislation will be simplified, and co-operation between the Commission and Member States will be stepped up to ensure better implementation. Minimum operating conditions for extended producer responsibility schemes will be laid down. Tailor-made approaches will be implemented for specific waste streams, such as marine litter, phosphorus, construction and demolition, food, hazardous and plastic wastes.

Flying over Iceland I find myself thinking about all the folks we met in Poland. The great experiences we had! I'd just like to thank everyone for the wonderful Polish journey. Poland was a joy and I look forward to returning someday and exploring the country and it's people in depth.
GOT YA! Thanks again Everyone who made this show happen!
Sad to be leaving Poland but looking forward to some sleep. There has been not time to rest up since arriving. Without Marta to direct us we really would have been lost getting everywhere on time and finding all the great restaurants and places to go.
The opening was fantastic. Like nothing I have experienced before. Apparently 900 people where there along with all the newspapers, magazines and even radio stations!
The opening started at 8:00 with a speech by the Master of Ceremonies. Perhaps Mistress of Ceremonies is correct? She was Ms. Jolanta Fajkowska from VID TV, a very famous Polish TV Personality. There was a stage at one end of the upstairs large gallery room (yep the gallery had a huge room upstairs and 2 smaller rooms downstairs as well as a large bar downstairs.) Anyway she spoke about the work and has Tomasz and me come up on the stage, asked us questions and had us say something about the work. It was weird being up there looking out on about 900 people (it was a huge room) the 20 to 30 paparazzi standing at the foot of the stage and the tv cameras and staring at us. As we spoke the paparazzi did not shoot but when she officially opened the show they wet wild. Pushing in toward us cameras whirling and flashes flashing – move over Mick Jagger. It was truly weird and I had no idea what to do- now I like to have my picture taken but this was just too weird. Had my digital point and shoot in my back pocket so out it came and I started shooting the paparazzi shooting us. Was a good mood the crowd went wild and the show was on it's way.
The show slowed down around 10:30 but the bar stayed open and we finally left around 2 pm.
The list of people there was impressive and going through the photo pages you'll see them all.

2021 NHL Expansion Draft Coverage
NHL Entry & Expansion Drafts
Kraken Fodder: Does it make any sense for Seattle to take Foligno?
There are a lot of factors at play.

Before the Seattle Kraken gets their pick over the NHL during the expansion draft on July 21, we'll take a look around the Minnesota Wild roster and determine how and why certain players might be heading west.
Marcus Foligno means so damn much to this team. It was extremely evident when he suffered a mid-season injury and the underlying numbers (as well as wins) plummeted down into the abyss and gave us a feeling of dread every single time the Colorado Avalanche came storming into the Wild's zone.
In the odd scenario, that is honestly probably not going to happen, Foligno can be left for the Kraken to snatch up and use on their inaugural roster. Let's see just what might play out.
How They Would Get Picked
A significant diversion away from what has been reported so far, would be needed for the Minnesota Wild to expose Foligno. Despite his age, he's been able to be one of (maybe the) top winger defensively in the entire NHL for the last few seasons. Just constantly able to provide the team with so much, and he even contributed offensively.
Stats aside, the only true away — other than a flurry of changes that alter the roster suddenly before the expansion draft — would be GM Bill Guerin and his staff deciding to protect eight skaters instead of the seven forwards and three defensemen strategy they're able to do.
With no-move clauses in tact, Ryan Suter, Jared Spurgeon, Jonas Brodin, and Matt Dumba will be the four blueliners; while Mats Zuccarello, Zach Parise, Joel Eriksson Ek and Kevin Fiala are the four forwards. Doing this would leave Ryan Hartman, Jordan Greenway and Marcus Foligno out in the open to be selected by the Kraken on July 21.
This would also signify that the front office certainly does not want to lose Dumba (the projected exposure) for nothing and would rather lose any of the middle-six forwards instead of a defenseman that has come a long way compared to 12 months ago.
Why Seattle Would
As I mentioned above, Foligno has been close to the top in terms of defensive forwards. Among the 331 forwards that played at least 400 minutes at 5-on-5 this season, the 29-year-old is 14th in expected goals share, and second in on-ice expected goals against rate. He just simply allows nothing high-danger and boosts the defensive possibility for those on the ice with him.
For a new team that is staffed by some forward-thinking analytically-savvy minds in the front office, seeing Foligno available could be enticing. Establishing a solid foundation defensively and letting yourself go crazy on some pure-offensive talents to balance out the on-ice approach can certainly be an interesting strategy. Especially when Foligno's contract is well worth it at a cap hit of $3.1 million for the next three seasons.
It's a little bit of a commitment if he doesn't gel in Seattle, but worth the miniscule risk.
How Does This Affect The Wild?
Considering the fact that Foligno did just sign that three-year extension, I cannot see management just exposing him like that — same goes for Ryan Hartman — but stranger things have happened surrounding the expansion draft.
We already got a glimpse into a Foligno-less future this season and the results wanted everyone to just stop watching this damn team altogether. It wasn't as clean and the transition seemed rocky. Eriksson Ek and Greenway didn't seem to work well without their veteran winger and just overall team defense declined.
The only positive would be — as it is with most expansion casualties — is the newly found cap space that is made available by Foligno's contract heading west. That $3.1 million can be used to commit to Kirill Kaprizov or Fiala for longer, giving that extra wiggle room and boost those new contracts total cap hits. A silver lining on a miserable, extremely dark cloud.
There is no way this is happening, but thank you for reading Hockey Wilderness.
