GOD GAVE YOU THE POWER TO LEARN ANYTHING
Each class is segmented into short, easy-to-understand lessons tailored for each grade level. Each lesson comes with a video, a complete lesson plan, a study guide and an assessment. Objectives and expected learning outcomes are also included. Teachers are invited to use these lessons as a supplement to their existing curriculum, or as a centerpiece. All lessons are built using magisterial content including the New Jerusalem Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (2nd ed), and other orthodox Catholic sources.
Catholic Online School takes learning out of the classroom and puts the control right into the hands of the student. It is a self-paced learning system that gently guides any student through the learning process. With the lack of quality education that many countries are suffering from at the moment, Catholic Online School truly could not have come about at a better time.

STOKE CITY can confirm the permanent departure of Marko Arnautovic to West Ham United.
The Club will pocket a guaranteed £20M from the sale whilst an additional £5M will be paid by the Hammers providing certain conditions are met.
Arnautovic joined the Potters from Budesliga side Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2013, and went on to make 145 appearances for Mark Hughes' side, scoring 26 goals.
The Club would like to take this opportunity to thank Marko for his efforts and wish him well for the future.

Ryanair is changing its luggage policy again and this time it affects customers who bring a second bag on board a flight.
Earlier this year the company announced that it was changing rules so that the only people who could take two cabin bags on board its planes were priority boarding passengers.
This meant that people who were non-priority passengers could take one small bag into the cabin and have a second bag put into the hold for free.
But, according to the Mirror Online, that is all about to change.
From the November 1, those who aren't priority boarders will have to pay extra if they want a second bag at all - in fact, you'll need to fork out £8 for a bag up to 10kg.
Those who planned to check in a second bag any way may find that it is good news as you'll be able to pay £8 for a bag up of to 10kg instead of the usual £25 for a bag of up to 20kg.
However, if you didn't plan to pay for the second bag and are a non-prority passenger then you will have to pay the extra £6 for priority boarding (£8 if you choose to add this to your booking later), or pay £8 to get it checked in the hold.
The only other alternative is to stick to a small bag.
If you have already booked your flight then the rules will still apply as it affects all travel from November.
The company blamed the change on the number of people turning up at the gate with a second bag to place in the hold for free, which they say can cause delays of approximately 25 minutes.
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said: "From November 2018, we are introducing a new lower cost 10kg checked bag and changing our carry-on bag policy to eliminate boarding/flight delays.


Do you ever wonder how kids in Sweden celebrate? What school is like in Japan? How do kids in the Arctic Circle stay warm? When do kids start their day in Ethiopia? How do socioeconomic issues affect kids in Guatemala? What games are played in Ecuador? What do kids strive to be in Switzerland? What do kids in Tahiti think a lot about?
By letting others know about how you live, we can develop greater appreciation and compassion for all. When we meet other cultures on a personal level, not only can we understand them better, but we can also be more inspired to solve issues that our fellow youth are facing.
Tell us about life in general where you live.
What is your normal day like? What do you and others your age think about? What inspires you? What are your goals? How do the problems in your country affect you? On the behalf of youth in your country, what is something you would like kids in other nations to understand about your culture? What is important to youth in your country? What stereotypes would you like to break, what values you hold dear would you like to convey?

My name is Markella and I'm 12 years old. I live in Greece and I was born and raised in Athens. I really want to be a animator cause I like to draw multiple characters and I enjoy watching anime,cartoon and all kinds of animation!I really enjoy listening to music with my headphones for a while before I unfortunately do my homework. My biggest difficulty must be..to concentrate to what I am doing.. Well there a lot of challenges throughout the day like trying to avoid all the pollution and chemicals in the air or try to survive crossing the street without having a unpleasing experience of the fear of losing your life at such a early age.
My name is Angela I am 13 years old. I live in Greece and I was born in Athens. When I get older, I want to be a kick box teacher because it's what I love the most in this world. After school, I do roller skating. My biggest difficulty is making friends. The impact that I want to make to the world is that people will never again judge their fellow citizens.
I finished high school last year, but now I'm taking exams to get into college. I want to to go into education because I like kids and I want to teach them. I want to study, work, and live here in Athens. In high school I learned to be strong. There are a lot of difficulties we face, like having to take exams more than once. The school systems have issues. For example, the buildings of the public schools are old and they don't have the right equipment to help us progress in school. The schools could fix their problems, but it's going to take a lot of time. The private schools, however, are different; they're in better shape.
In ten years, the biggest issue we will face will most likely be unemployment. There is a lot of unemployment here and I am afraid that I will have a hard time finding a job. I feel the biggest issue that Athens is facing is exhaust and pollution because we have a lot of cars and heaters in the winters. Athens is a lot different than the countryside villages of Greece. Literally everything is different. In the village, everyone knows everyone. You can walk everywhere. However, in there isn't much to do in the villages, especially compared to Athens.
I live in Athens, and I really like Athens because there are a lot of places to go to pass your time. There are great people living here. I pass my time by drawing and playing my guitar. I also write stories. I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up, but I really like acting. I have seen a lot of comedians on Youtube and TV that I really like, so maybe an actor. I like my school because of my classmates and because of the building of the school. It's big and the halls are on the outside of the school-- there is no building to the outside. We have a basketball court and a volleyball court. It's fun to pass your time even out of school hours.
After school, twice a week, I play volleyball with my team. Two other days, I have music. I also am learning two foreign languages: English and French. When I grow up, I want to be an architect.
My favorite subject in school is math because I like doing operations. Outside of school, I like to hang out at the plaza with my friends, but I don't like all of the little kids running around!
I live in Pylos and it's really nice here. Tourists, for example, can see really great views. My friends and I go for walks here and go to the beach. When I grow up, I want to be an actress because I think it suits me well and so do my parents and friends.
After school, I like to play with my friends. I like school, especially math.
"My favorite subject in school is math. I like math because you have to think a lot to solve the problems and I like working with numbers. When I get older, I want to be a doctor and go into medicine--maybe a pathologist."
"My biggest aspiration is to find something that I enjoy and that benefits others."
Kansas City is known for its barbecue and Jazz music. I want to go into music, and the biggest challenge in my life is being a minority in the music industry and being treated differently than people who aren't minorities.
I live in the suburbs near the city to modern day Columbus, a city of evolutionary advancements. I go to a private Catholic school. I am not Catholic, but I love the experience of being able to understand their lifestyle. I am currently a lead in a Women's Empowerment Group and Fundraising Director in my Junior State of America chapter. I am enlisted in the Air National Guard as well as starting fall semester at a desired college of mine for social work. I want kids to understand that regardless of your race, we are all the same. I am Laotian (Asian), African-American and white and have been able to represent my ethnicities from all perspectives. I hope people can recognize and respect multicultural people someday.
I think it is important to keep the traditions and customs you have either from family for friends.
People always call me a Nazi because of my blonde hair and blue eyes and German heritage. It's honestly ridiculous and extremely racist.
I have a large influence in my background from my Indian heritage and I have had a unique perspective of growing up as an Indian-American, loving both cultures.
In my daily life, since I am Muslim, I must pray 5 times a day.
My school is the most diverse of all the schools in the network!
I am from Illinois and my parents are from India, so I'm a first gen. We are very religious and religion (Hinduism) is very important to me. Not for the ritualistic part, but the spiritual part. What I learn in Hinduism is used in my daily life and it influences how I act.
To follow and respect other people's religions is a beautiful learning experience. I grew up in a Hindu family but later found myself at a loss of faith in middle school. However, I still loved learning about my culture. I would participate in Hindu festivals with my family and be opened to a crowd of love for each other and an array of light and color. To learn about art, tales and traditions was very cool as well. My favorite religious experience was when my family traveled to India to climb up a mountain. At the top of that mountain was said to be a reincarnation of God. The journey was long and painful but the top of the mountain was worth it. Up there was an array of life plants and animals, and a big temple thousands of years old containing the lord and hundreds of people praying. Away from my own culture, I love learning about others and their practices as well.
I wake up every morning to a breakfast probably consisting of eggs. I go to school usually in my mom's minivan and there I usually have a roast beef sandwich. I then go about my school day and end up at home. Normal, simple, plain. But, it's a bit different. For dinner, my parents make a variety of foods. The meal must have rice or it's not a meal. Kimchi is key as well. As I walk through the halls of my school, it's k-pop I'm listening to and the way I see the world is driven by the fact I'm Korean. Though I may simply be eating a sandwich and riding a minivan, I AM Korean and nothing will change that and I will define that. Because what's Korean? Me.
To respect all cultures and thrive off of anyone's individual likes because in my hometown, we have all kinds of cultures. I'm from Spain living in Miami and respecting origins like my own is such an intense value for me.
In Cuba, people still drive cars from the 1950's. There are no technological advances because of the regime in the country.
My name is Harry P. and I was born in Zimbabwe in 1993. We fled because there was an economic crisis in Zimbabwe. I have been an advocate for young people in Global advocacy from the age of 15. This started by being selected to be part of the UK delegation to the G8 in Italy in 2009. I persisted as I wanted to continue my passion for changing the world. I represented Unicef, British Youth council and Restless development in High-level conferences advocating for the rights of young people. In 2014 I Co-founded Youth for Change Global .The success of Youth for Change has spread globally with regional offices in Tanzania,Bangladesh and Ethiopia . We have won numerous awards including the True Honour Award from IKWRO. At grass roots level I coordinated a National schools conference where we trained 200 school officials, teachers and police on Female genital mutilation and Early Forced Marriage to make schools a safer place. Since then Harry has worked as a researcher and consultant in UK politics.Recently I have been awarded the Queens Young leader award for his services to bettering the lives of young people in the Commonwealth. The ceremony was given to me by Her Majesty the Queen in June 2018. I have also given numerous speeches in Parliament, Party conferences and Number 10 and has remained consistent in his messaging of 'Young people are not just service users they are world changers'. I have also held a board position with UNICEF for 5 years and is an official He for She ambassador for UN Women. I currently works in the Cabinet Office in UK government. My expertise is centred around national/international policy, global youth advocacy, Leadership, and Gender-based violence. It has been a crazy journey but this is just the start.

'Descendant': Here's what happened to slave ship Clotilda's captain William Foster
By Sunjukta Sule
Descendants of the enslaved African people smuggled into the US by the Clotilda's captain, William Foster, in the trailer of 'Descendant' (Netflix)
MOBILE, ALABAMA: Those familiar with the story of Africatown know about the schooner Clotilda. The last known slave ship was responsible for bringing 110 captive men, women, and children from Africa to Alabama. The enslaved African-Americans aboard the ship were illegally shipped and settled near Mobile, Alabama, in 1860 and established their own community. Captain William Foster led the Clotilda at the time. He and the schooner's owner, Timothy Maeher, participated in the illegal activity of slave trading even after the act was banned decades ago.
Captain Foster was the last known voyager to have smuggled enslaved people into the US and to conceal the identity of their crimes, Foster and Maeher burned the Clotilda at 'the edge of the water' and proceeded to sink the ship in the Mobile River. It wasn't until 2018 and the wreckage of the schooner was discovered that the topic of slave trader's heinous crimes resurfaced. Recently, Margaret Brown created the documentary 'Descendant', which highlights the lives of the living descendants of the enslaved individuals on the ship, looking for validation for the atrocities committed against their ancestors. The film was produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's media company, Higher Ground. Netflix is set to air the true-crime documentary on October 21, 2022. The recent discussion of Clotilda has caused many to wonder about the whereabouts of her captain. So here's what happened to Captain Foster after he sank the slave ship.

A painting of the slave trading vessel the Clotilda seen in the trailer of the true-crime documentary 'Descendant' (Netflix)
What happened to Captain William Foster?
As per an article from the Mariposa Gazette dated March 9, 1901, the captain died in his home in Mobile the same year. The article highlights Foster's perilous journey to the African coast back in 1860 and his illegal purchase of enslaved people.
On his journey back to Alabama, the Clotilda was detected and pursued by the watchful vessels of the United States. Foster was effective in outdistancing his pursuers and arrived in Mobile Bay two months later. The slave vessel was met by a steam boat onto which the enslaved Africans were transferred to avoid the customs officials in the US. Willaim Foster then proceeded to burn and sink the ship to conceal evidence. He was hunted by authorities for months but skillfully evaded the government until he retired from sea.
The 'Descendant' is available for streaming on Friday, October 21, 2022, on Netflix.

Infra Red or IR response is necessary to allow cameras to see well during low light conditions and to operate with IR Lights. If you have not already found out about IR response and wavelenght then have a look at our IR Cut Filter page. Removing the filter from the view of an IR sensitive camera at night allows the camera to give good quality pictures during darkness. Then you get good monochrome (black and white) pictures which can be improved by the use of IR lighting which is mostly invisible to the human eye.
However often people wonder what the picture from an IR sensitive camera would be like during the day time. Does the camera still see in colour and if so then why have a filter at all?
Well the reason is that if you dont filter out the IR spectrum during daylight then the whole colour spectrum is reproduced in the camera image. White light contains the whole light spectrum, but we humans dont normally see IR light. Thats why we use a camera which can see IR light to transpose it so we can see in darkness.
If we add the IR spectrum to our colour image the colour produced by the camera will be anything but true. Have a look at the examples below. This is the same camera with the IR cut filter switched in and then out during a day time image.
IR Cut Filter On - All the IR light is filtered from the image so you get a lovely true colour daytime picture.
IR Cut Filter Off - The camera now thinks its night and shows its full IR range during daytime.
As you can see, if the IR sensitive camera views an image during the day time its full spectral response means that the IR spectrum is added to the image and the colour is totally inaccurate.
So to get the best of both worlds when using a true IR sensitive camera we switch in a filter during the day and switch it out during very low light.
There are other systems for limiting IR response electronically and they are becoming more efficient all the time, but there is still no substitute for actually filtering out the light you dont want, at the source, and then allowing it back in to the camera when you do want it.
For more information see:- Mechanical IR Cut Filters - Infra Red Wavelengths - Infra Red Lamp Range Information - Our Infra Red Lights.
Many of the live cameras in our live camera section are IR responsive so check them out too.

Q: While loop with flag public class Simulation extends Thread {
    private volatile boolean loopState = true;

    public void stopLoop() {
        loopState = false;
    }

    public void run() {
        try {
            Robot r = new Robot();

            while (loopState) {
                r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
                r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
                sleep(50);
            }
        } catch (AWTException | InterruptedException e) {}
    }
}

When I launch stopLoop() the while loop below doesn't stop. If I print the value of loopState at the end of the stopLoop() call it returns false but the loop is still executing.
I use this code to call the methods.
Simulation simulation = new Simulation();
    switch (PressedButtonID) {
        case 14:
            simulation.start();
            break;
        case 15:
            simulation.stopLoop();
            break;
}

A: Your posted code works perfectly, as the following simple program demonstrates: as you can see, the while loop stops as expected. The problem is somewhere else.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class Simulation extends Thread {
    private volatile boolean loopState = true;

    public void stopLoop() {
        loopState = false;
    }

    public void run() {
        try {
            Robot r = new Robot();

            while (loopState) {
                r.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
                r.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_LEFT);
                System.out.println("Simulation loop: CALLED");
                sleep(50);
            }
        } catch (AWTException | InterruptedException e) {}
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        Simulation simulation = new Simulation();
        simulation.start();
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        simulation.stopLoop();
    }
}

La Fiduciaire de France est le cabinet d'avocats qui a donné naissance par scission, d'une part, à la branche française de KPMG et, d'autre part, à la FIDAL.

Historique

En 1922,  Albert Liothaud, expert-comptable, s'inspire des fiduciaires suisses pour établir La Fiduciaire de France, à Grenoble. En 1923, les frères Fernan et Léon Galtier, dirigeants d'un cabinet d'expertise, rejoignent le comité de direction et s'attellent à la fiscalité : « C'est par la fiscalité qu'il faut commencer, car c'est elle qui forcera à la rigueur comptable ». Le cabinet quitte ses modestes locaux et s'installe rue de Penthièvre à Paris.

En 1924,  Albert Meary entre au conseil de direction : l'équipe des pionniers est au complet. Il développe les activités de conseil juridique, fiscal et comptable. Il impulse la décentralisation qui permet d'être plus près du client et donc plus rapidement à sa disposition. Fin 1928, la Fiduciaire de France compte déjà 10 directions régionales et 24 bureaux.

En 1945, une ordonnance de l'Ordre des experts comptables impose la scission entre les activités comptables d'une part, et les activités juridiques et fiscales d'autre part. La Fiduciaire de France est conservée comme société d'expertise comptable et deviendra le représentant de KPMG en France. La Société juridique et fiscale de France est créée de manière indépendante pour regrouper les activités de conseil juridique et fiscal. Elle deviendra la FIDAL.

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as fairly common in the highlands of Myanmar and northern Thailand and scarce in China (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as the species benefits from slash-and-burn agriculture (del Hoyo et al. 2005).

[Answer] Which of these cities has never been the capital of the United States?
Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of these cities has never been the capital of the United States?"
...1. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2. Princeton, New Jersey 3. New York City, New York 4. Boston, Massachusetts
Step 2 : Answer to the question "Which of these cities has never been the capital of the United States?"
Boston, Massachusetts - Philadelphia has been the capital of the United States a few times, with Congress convening there under the Articles of Confederation, and after the Constitution was established from 1790 to 1800. The city of Princeton, New Jersey, on the other hand, was the capital for four months in 1783 when Congress met at Nassau Hall. New York City has also been the capital a few times, the last of which was from 1789 to 1790 right after the signing of the Constitution. Though Boston was an important political and economic center during the early days of America, it was never the capital of the United States — an honor only nine cities can claim.:

NOAA Emails Show Turmoil After Trump Tweeted Hurricane Misinformation
By admin On Nov 8, 2019
A trove of emails made public Thursday reveal the frustration, anger and turmoil in federal weather agencies after President Donald Trump incorrectly warned that Alabama was under threat of being hit by Hurricane Dorian.
In addition to Florida – South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 1, 2019
Trump's warning on Sept. 1 was at best days out of date. He attempted to back up his inaccurate information later by presenting a map in the Oval Office that included a primitively drawn circle around a portion of Alabama on a weather map to make it appear as if the state was in Dorian's projected path.
"This has really gotten out of hand," Chris Darden, the meteorologist in chief at the National Weather Service office near Birmingham, wrote in one of the emails released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He complained that meteorologists were being deluged by media requests seeking clarification after Trump's tweet.
In an earlier email, Darden detailed his office's confusion after receiving an "inordinate number of questions concerning Dorian and potential impacts" in Alabama from "anxious and panicked citizens." Unaware that Trump was the source of the faulty information, the staff "deemed it prudent to provide some type of clarification on official social media channels" as Alabamans clogged highways to get out of Dorian's supposed path.
Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east. #alwx
— NWS Birmingham (@NWSBirmingham) September 1, 2019
"Our job is to provide forecasts and weather information in ways that … benefit the lives and safety of the US citizenry," Darden wrote in the email. "That is clearly what we are doing, and kudos to the day shift for reacting to a need quickly."
Apparently in a bid to help Trump save face, NOAA issued a subsequent message denigrating the work of the Birmingham office, stating that the clarifying tweet was "inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time." The Associated Press reported that at the time of Trump's warning, the National Hurricane Center estimated that parts of Alabama had only a 5% to 10% chance of getting tropical-storm-level (not hurricane-level) winds.
A House committee and the chief NOAA scientist have since launched an investigation into who was responsible for the unsigned NOAA statement. The New York Times reported that acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney directed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees NOAA and the National Weather Service, to have NOAA publicly refute the forecasters. Ross warned of firings if the statement wasn't issued, according to the Times.
NOAA programmer Alek Krautmann emailed a public affairs officer at the time, saying that the NOAA statement was "deeply upsetting to NOAA employees that have worked the hurricane and not fully accurate based on the timeline in question."
Others said the NOAA message triggered a slew of hate mail against the weather service. Benjamin Friedman, NOAA's deputy under secretary for operations, forwarded an email from a woman identifying herself as a scientist, lashing the NWS and NOAA's "boot-licking, pandering" attitude, and telling him to "grow a pair or get out. Stop taking tax money if you can't do your job."
Friedman noted: "These are getting very personal."
The emails were released in response to Freedom of Information Act requests by a number of media outlets, including The Daily Beast and NBC.

In ancient times, students on the spiritual path received formal education in gurukulas.
The students lived with their guru from an early age and were given not only instruction on an intellectual level, but were also guided in spiritual development and in the maintenance of physical health. In the eastern tradition guru is much more than a teacher. He represents the special energy that is guiding individuals toward their fulfillment as human beings, towards perfection. Grace is the impulse of that energy.
The word guru is a compound of two words, gu and ru. Gu means darkness and ru means light. That which dispels darkness of ignorance is called guru. Guru is not a person, it is a force driven by grace.
The truth is that the relationship of guru to disciple is indescribable. The relationship extends to the realm beyond the world, transcends death, and stretches far beyond the limited karmic bonds asscoiated with family and friends.
Guru sustains, nurtures, and guides a soul through lifetimes to ultimate liberation.
The relationship with the guru is based on the purest form of unconditional love. The disciple comes with full faith and entrusts his whole life to the guru. The guru takes that life and chops it and burns what is not necessary, and then carefully carves what remains into something sacred.
In this chopping and burning, the guru is merciless.
The guru's job is not to hold hands with the disciple and wipe away tears, but to cut into pieces the disciple's ego and all that stands between the disciple and freedom. The guru does not allow dependence.
When a spiritual seeker meets his master, the first significant step is that he receives a personal mantra.
Mantra is a syllable or word or set of words. When the mantra is remembered consciously, it automatically is stored in the unconscious mind. At the time of leaving the body, the mantra which is stored in the unconscius mind becomes one's guide. This period of separation is painful to the ignorant. This is not the case with a spiritual person who has remembered the mantra faithfully. The mantra serves as a guide through this period of transition. Mantra is a spiritual guide that dispels the fear of death and leads one fearlessly to the other shore of life.
For yogis and sages death is a minor event. Death and birth are two gates of the same mansion. Coming out from one gate is called birth, and passing through another gate is called death. Fortunate few know the mystery of birth and death.
Accomplished yogis have learnt to cast off the body in a variety of ways. Yogis do not refer to the end of life as dying, but rather as casting off the body, letting go of what is no longer necessary.
The technique of consciously letting go of the body was described in the Kathopanishad to Nachiketa by Yama, the Lord of Death. Yama explained to him that of all the nadis or energy pathways in the body, the most important is sushumna. Sushumna passes upward through the center of the spinal column. Through sushumna flows the spiritual energy or divine force called kundalini.
Sushumna is the key point of liberation.
One who can enter sushumna at the time of death can attain Brahman, the highest goal of life. All other paths are paths of rebirths.
To leave the body, the yogi awakens the sleeping serpent power of kundalini and this energy enters into the path of sushumna. It rises to the ajna chakra, the two-petalled lotus between the eyebrows. Here the yogi gathers together and controls all the other life force energies of the body, known as pranas. He withdraws his consciousness from earth-bound existence and from the senses, and from the five lower chakras. He concentrates on the ajna chakra and then gradually upward toward sahasrara, the crown chakra. While concentrating on the crown chakra, he leaves the body through the fontanelle and rises finally to the realm of the absolute Brahman.
So, at time of death the soul discards the body, its outer garment. Yama told Nachiketa that after the body is dead and destroyed, the soul continues to exist.
When the soul departs from the body, the subconscious mind goes with it, leaving the gross body behind. The subconscious mind, which is a storehouse of merits and demerits, becomes the vehicle for the jiva, the soul. All the samskaras of our many lives remain in the storehouse of our subconscious mind in a latent state like seeds. The relationship between the subtle body and the gross body is akin to that of the seed and the plant. As the seed contains all the qualities of the plant in the seed germ, so the subconscious mind retains all the samskaras of our previous lives.
Life and death are only different names for the same fact -- the two sides of one coin. One who goes beyond such differentiations can conquer death and reach the other shore, that is, eternal life. A person who understand the fundamental truth that soul, the Atman, the Self is immortal and all else is perishable, can solve the mystery of death. Life after death can be experienced here in this very life by those who have attained samadhi. Those who have realized their real Self are immortal.
The foregoing are selected excerpts from "Sacred Journey" by Swami Rama of the Himalayas.
Swami Rama, brought up in the ancient cave monasteries, was not only a rare yogi but also a scientist and a social reformer. He was the author of numerous books, a poet, painter, master architect, musician, and an expert in many sciences and systems of philosophy. He founded the Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy and the Himalayan Institute Hospital Trust and Medical College.


What inspired your new dreadlocks hairstyle?
It's not dreadlocks, I keep explaining to people. These are natural twists. On my last birthday, I decided to make a lot of changes in my life. I decided to reclaim my hair because I really had lovely hair growing up, and the first time relaxer ever touched my hair was when I was in the university.
After years of using too much chemical on it, I decided to just make a complete turnaround. Now, my hair is healthy, it's long, it's lovely. And I would never let relaxer touch it again. I don't fix artificial nails again. I'm back to natural nails. I just put on some long-lasting polish. I fixed my nails for over 10 years but I'm tired of it now. I want to be healthy in my old age.
Your divorce came as a shock to a lot of people. Why did you take that decision?
Shock? Have you not heard that Seal and Heidi (Klum) have divorced? Haven't you seen people who have been married for 20 to 25 years and divorced? I'm not perfect; no one is. We all have our low moments. It doesn't mean I'm a failure. Everybody goes through bad patches in life. Life must go on, whether we like it or not. It's always better to part under good circumstances than for someone to be in jail, or die, or to be hurling insults at each other. There is no need for that.
It seems you don't regret your divorce, because you always have this cheerful look?
It's God. Looking back at my life, where I came from, I never even thought I would be an actress. I never even thought I would have an opportunity to meet people, to be a role mode. So, it's not for me to feel self-pity. I'm grateful to God every single day. I choose to be happy. I am a happy person. Someone encouraged me with these words yesterday: 'Every problem you have will resolve and dissolve'. So, my divorce is not the end of life and my God has given me cheer and joy. That explains why I am always happy and cheerful. No regrets.
I am not sure about remarrying but I will love again. I'm a lover, not a fighter. I'm only going to be very choosy. I don't know about marriage, but, maybe, love.
You've kept your daughter away from the limelight. Is this deliberate?
Yes. You want them to kidnap my daughter? When they see her picture, then they will know who she is. I remember somebody sent a card to me through her school and I was so surprised. They just dropped it on her desk and I was wondering how the person knew my daughter attends that school. Should she decide to step into the limelight later on, that would be her call, not mine. I've managed to keep her away and I'm sure I've done a good job. Now she is not even in the country and it's better she schools there.


The Williams Martini Racing team arrive at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix after their best performance of the season last time out in Austria. Valtteri Bottas took his maiden podium finish behind the dominant Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, while team-mate Felipe Massa took fourth after starting on pole position.
Bottas is looking to continue the momentum the team is building when the cars hit the track this weekend. Having taken his maiden podium finish, the Finnish driver is itching for more, and hopes some of the team from the factory will be able to attend the race.
Massa will be celebrating his 200th Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone, and is looking forward to racing in front of the passionate British fans. Like Bottas, he is hoping to maintain the pace that saw them take a 3-4 finish in Austria.
The Head of Performance Engineering at Williams Rob Smedley feels the Williams car should suit the fast nature of the Silverstone circuit this weekend. He also knows that the weather at the British circuit will determine how the tyres work on the cars.
"Silverstone is a very interesting circuit," said Smedley. "It poses a real challenge to the engineers and drivers as we have to set the cars up for such high speed corners like Abbey, Copse and the Maggotts-Becketts complex. The car does have to be set up differently from other high speed circuits. The layout has high power and drag sensitivity which should suit our car this season.


Do you love teaching? Are you interested in teaching English abroad? There are plenty of opportunities in East and Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
Every year China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and some other countries in Asia and the Middle East, recruit a number of English teachers with a preference given to native speakers of English. Searching the keyword "English" in Handshake will bring up any number of these opportunities.Many offer good packages in terms of remuneration, health coverage, and accommodation. With a bachelor's degree in English, anyone who is a native of an English speaking country can apply for these positions.
Is Teaching English the Right Path for You?
The best way to find out if you enjoy teaching second language learners, before you renew your passport and invest in a plane ticket, is to give it a try — which can also help you get experience that will help you land a position. Champaign-Urbana offers many opportunities to get some experience of working with non-native speakers of English.
The Intensive English Institute. Each semester the Intensive English Institute hires a number of undergraduate students for internships, and these positions are paid. You can also volunteer to be convopartners of international students at the institute, which will require you to spend one hour each week with ESL students. This will give you the opportunity to exchange culture and experience the world from another perspective.
Illinois International Hospitality Committee. You can also volunteer for English classes through the University of Illinois International Hospitality Committee.
Project READ, Parkland College. Volunteering at Parkland College can give you exposure to adult language learning. Project READ, a not-for-profit literacy service in Parkland College, provides free tutoring to adult learners seeking to improve their reading, writing, and/or English as a Second Language skills. Volunteers are needed throughout the Parkland College district. All Project READ tutors attend 12 hours of formal training to earn certification in tutoring adults. Tutor Certification Training is offered on a monthly basis at various locations. For more information about finding a tutor or to become a volunteer tutor, call 217/353-2662.
Some programs for teaching English abroad require certification in teaching English as a second language. This credential can be obtained from the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The Department of Linguistics offers a Certificate in TESL for undergraduate students. Undergraduate students may pursue the Certificate in TESL as a stand-alone certificate, through a Minor in ESL, or Teacher Education Minor in ESL. For the certificate, undergrads need to take six courses three of which are compulsory and the rest are elective. Those pursuing the Certificate in TESL via a Minor in ESL must declare a Minor in ESL at the beginning of course work for the minor.
Recently we had a chance to talk to Kelly McEathron, an English graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana -Champaign, who works as a Management Trainee at Cintas. Kelly is currently in her 1st rotation out of 4 for Direct Sale and Strategic Market. With every day being different and exciting at work, Kelly likes to unwind by hanging out with friends and family, exploring the city, and walking the dogs. She said many great things about jobs, careers, and qualities expected from a candidate.
What is your current job? What do you like about it? Where do you hope to go from here?
I am a Management Trainee at Cintas and absolutely love working here. I love how every day is different and presents new challenges. Though I just started in July and still have a year and a half before I graduate the program, as of now I hope to eventually work my way up to a senior account manager. With this Management Trainee program, I do four rotations in each department so that I learn more about the other departments. In these rotations I will get a better understanding of where I would like to go in the company.
How has your background in English helped you in your career? What skills that you learned in your college classes do you find yourself using now?
My English degree has helped me in my career in many different ways. One of the most important thing that I have learned from my English studies is how to write a concise email while still including details. There is nothing more annoying than long emails that don't have specific points. I guess that is another way my degree has helped- picking the main points of an email. As for skills that I have brought with me from college, I would say that time management is a huge one, being able to communicate effectively, and networking. I know it may not seem like college kids network in class but making friends in class who you can count on for notes or similar situations definitely transfer over to a work environment because knowing people help get situations resolved quickly.
From your experience, could you tell us what qualities employers seek in a candidate and how English studies prepares students to attain them?
I think employers seek a person who can communicate effectively, who is driven and organized. I think that English degree can help with the communication and organization; however, being competitively driven while still being a part of a team is almost as important. Companies look for someone who is willing to prove themselves and work hard- driven by a goal to be the best but who is still working towards a team goal.
Would you give some suggestion to our undergrads regarding how to make the transition from college to working life?
Some suggestions that I recommend on how to make the transition from college to real life is to not rush the transition. You don't need to move out of your parents' house right away, get a new car, and be wasteful with money. Give yourself time to adjust to working full time, understand that you can't go out on a Tuesday anymore because you have to be up early for work, and just be real with yourself. While you may miss the fun times of college trust me in the fact that getting a paycheck every week or every other week is way better.
What advice do you have for the students interested in exploring the field you are in now?
My advice for people interested in exploring Management Trainee programs is to take an alternate route. I know English majors are almost pigeon-holed to teaching, publishing, editing etc., but honestly the environment that I am working in is awesome. I get to work with my manager to see where my next rotation would be as if I am tailoring the program to myself and where I see myself going in the future. Take the chance to do something that we are not really pushed to in college because it was probably one of the best choices I made!
Md. Alamgir Hossain, a graduate student in the department of English, recently interviewed Sara Colombo who graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2009. Sara majored in English and minored in Secondary Education. From an early age, Sara wanted to be an English teacher, and she got her first teaching job in 2009. After five years of teaching English in the Chicago Suburbs, she decided to change careers and utilize her skills in sales. She is now the Director of Business Development at Jellyvision, a technology company in Chicago. In the interview, Sara recounts her journey from being a student to being an executive and gives valuable advice to English undergraduate students.
Currently, I am the Director of Business Development at Jellyvision. Jellyvision is a technology company in Chicago with around 400 employees. I manage a team of about 20 Inside Sales Representatives that are responsible for reaching out to potential clients and getting them interested in our products.
What challenges did you face to get there? What do you like about it? Where do you hope to go from here?
My career actually started in education. My degree from U of I is in English, but I was in the college of education for Secondary Ed. So my first job was teaching high school English. I taught English in two different high schools. I learned after five years that teaching wasn't the career for me.
I loved the students and teaching English, but I no longer loved the content I was required by the state to teach. There were also leadership changes every year in both districts, and I just wanted to do something different. So from there I knew I needed to start over at an entry level job.
I searched for a job for a few months. I probably applied to about 50 positions throughout Chicago. I finally got an entry level sales job at a media company called Guerrero Howe. My English degree came in handy here as we were required to have super strong communication skills for this role. This is where I learned to make phone calls and sell. After a year at Guerrero Howe, I got the job at Jellyvision. Again, it was an entry level position, and I was 27 years old.
I worked extremely hard, learned everything about the company and got promoted every year which got me to where I am now as the director.
I LOVE my job, the company, and the people I manage. I hope to stay here for a long time and really become an expert and outstanding manager.
How has your background in English helped you in your career?
I am SO thankful for my English degree. It has helped me so much throughout my career. Obviously in my first jobs as a teacher it was extremely helpful. But throughout my last two companies, it has helped me grow. During my job search I had to write tons of cover letters and introductory emails. I have to communicate with high level prospects via phone and email, and I have to communicate with my VP and CEO every day. My English degree allows me to be confident in my emails and communication skills as a whole.
What skills that you learned in your college classes do you find yourself using now?
Definitely organization and time-management. Even though those are "soft" skills, I learned how to perfect them at U of I, and I constantly lean on that today.
Writing with purpose and using a consistent tone is very important as well. I also do my best to be concise in my emails and writing, and proofread everything before sending.
From your experience, could you tell us what qualities employers seek in a candidate?
In every interview I have been in or conducted, employers appreciate a candidate who has done their research. Even if the candidate has a non-traditional background or work history, research is way more important. Coming to an interview or phone screen with your "homework" done is the best advice I can give. Come prepared with LOTS of questions about the company and the role. Come prepared with insight about how your background can relate to the job. Be diligent, thoughtful, and prepared, and it won't matter what your degree is in. Be willing to work hard, and learn and grow, and you can start a career anywhere.
I would suggest you apply to any and every job you can. Get your name and resume out there and practice, practice, practice with phone screens. No interview is a waste of time. You will get better each time, and you will find something you really enjoy. You must also be willing to start at the bottom. If you find a company you really like, you may not get the exact role you want, but you can get a foot in the door and start your career. Then you have to be willing to work the hardest and stand out from the crowd in order to move up. Do your best to stand out of the crowd on your resume and cover letter. Add style points that will allow the recruiters to remember you. Be yourself. Be genuine. Be kind, and be hungry.
My goals currently are to grow my team to one of the best business development teams in the city. We are getting really really good, but I want us to be great. I'd also love to use what I have learned about sales and teach again either in a college setting, or as a speaker at technology events. I have truly found a job I love in sales management, and I plan on staying as long as I can to become better and grow within a company that is doing really exciting things in the benefits communication space.
What advice do you have for students interested in exploring the field you are in now?
My advice is for students to do their research on SaaS (Software as a service) sales. It is a growing field with a ton of potential. Even if sales sounds scary, or they may not want to make phone calls, it is really an exciting space to start a career. Do research, see if you can set up job shadows, talk to friends and family who have had jobs in sales, and see if it is something that would be interesting to you! Within technology companies, there are also jobs in project management and implementation. This roles are great for English majors, as they also require organization and communication skills. The important thing is to find something you like and that you can do well, and run with it!


One of the things that became a LOT easier with WPF, compared to previous frameworks like WinForms, is animation. Triggers have direct support for using animations in response to the trigger being fired, instead of just switching between two static values.
In this example, we have a green square. It has a trigger that fires once the mouse is over, in which case it fires of several animations, all defined in the EnterActions part of the trigger. In there, we animate the thickness of the border from its default 0 to a thickness of 3, and then we animate the width and height from 100 to 125. This all happens simultaneously, because they are a part of the same StoryBoard, and even at slightly different speeds, since we have full control of how long each animation should run.
We use the ExitActions to reverse the changes we made, with animations that goes back to the default values. We run the reversing animations slightly faster, because we can and because it looks cool.
The two states are represented on the two screenshots, but to fully appreciate the effect, you should try running the example on your own machine, using the source code above.
Using animations with style triggers is very easy, and while we haven't fully explored all you can do with WPF animations yet, the example used above should give you an idea on just how flexible both animations and styles are.


LONDONDERRY -- A local developer is another step closer to building what would become the town's first conservation subdivision on 211 acres alongside Interstate 93.
During a public hearing and application acceptance held during the March 2 Planning Board meeting, Eric Chinberg of Chinberg Builders in Laconia shared final plans for Lorden Estates, a 159-lot eco-conscious subdivision to be located off Old Derry Road on Tax Map 16, Lot 38. Accompanying him were project engineer John Ring and wetland scientist Mark West.
Chinberg said the project is being planned in phases, with the initial phase encompassing 51 housing lots. A formal application for the project was submitted earlier last month.
With wetlands permits already granted, project officials said any wetlands impact would be of a temporary nature, with a private sewer system on site.
Town Planner Tim Thompson said Wednesday that there were no outstanding checklist items, and staff recommended accepting the application as complete on the condition that conservation overlay boundary marks be placed on the property, among other things.
The Planning Board voted unanimously this week to grant a conditional use permit, though the public hearing was continued to the April 13 meeting, which Thompson noted was necessary due to the ambitious nature of the project.
"This is a very good example of what the conservation subdivision ordinance was designed to provide for us," he added, noting a full traffic study had been conducted of the entire build-out.
"We've come to the conclusion the initial phase doesn't require off-site improvements, though some improvements would likely be needed for future phases," Thompson said.
Chinberg, who has been building in the Granite State since 1987, said the conservation subdivision plan would incorporate single-family homes with designated open space areas. The proposed homes would be fashioned in bungalow- style and would be economical and energy efficient. Developers previously noted the homes are expected to be priced within a relatively reasonable range, estimated to be from $209,000 to $299,000.
The overall site would boast three areas of open space, including a 35-acre central valley area. Total open space acreage would be 102 acres, which at 48 percent of the site's acreage would exceed Londonderry's 40 percent minimum requirement for open space in a conservation subdivision.
Approved by the Town Council in October 2009, Londonderry's conservation subdivision ordinance, which encourages more open space and fewer paved areas, was written by a former planning department intern and took several years to conceptualize. Unlike a conventional subdivision, a conservation subdivision has significantly more open space. In addition, parcels of land greater than 20 acres that are located within 100 feet of existing conservation land would be subject to mandatory standards. As an incentive to developers, the ordinance also permits a 5 percent tax bonus to be given for public pedestrian access, while a 10 percent bonus may be granted for protecting view sheds. However, total tax bonuses would be capped at 20 percent, Thompson previously noted, and such parcels are still subject to residential phasing.

About Robinson: Poems
Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) a three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, was the first of the great American modernist poets."No poet ever understood loneliness and separateness better than Robinson," James Dickey has observed. Robinson's lyric poems illuminate the hearts and minds of the most unlikely subjects—the downtrodden, the bereft, and the misunderstood. Even while writing in meter and rhyme, he used everyday language with unprecedented power, wit, and sensitivity. With his keen understanding of ordinary people and a gift for harnessing the rhythms of conversational speech, Robinson created the vivid character portraits for which he is best known, among them "Aunt Imogen," "Isaac and Archibald," "Miniver Cheevy," and "Richard Cory." Most of his poems are set in the fictive Tilbury Town—based on his boyhood home of Gardiner, Maine—but his work reaches far beyond its particular locality in its focus on struggle and redemption in human experience.

Camp Y-Koda believes some of the best future counselors are our current campers. The Leaders in Training program at Camp Y-Koda allows the opportunity for our older campers to slowly transition into leadership roles through projects, team building experiences, volunteerism, and assisting lead counselors throughout the camp day. The leadership camps offer a great opportunity for personal growth and wonderful comradery as part of a team.
This is a two week leadership development camp for campers interested in becoming counselors someday. The first week will consist of becoming affiliated with the program and the expectations. The focus will be on teamwork, positive character development, problem solving, values, communication and becoming a positive role model.
The second week will pick up where week one left off with more character development activities. Subjects for the week emphasize inclusion, community, relationships and project management. The CIT's will also have the opportunity to help out with our younger camper groups to put some of their newly learned skills to work. The program is designed to challenge the teen participants to be positive role models and future leaders at camp, at school and in our community. To register for a session, please complete and return the registration forms found in our 2019 Summer Camp Brochure.


Extensive research over several years at Kings Park and Botanic Garden and at several other organisations has shown that the seeds of many species of Australian native plants benefit from - or even require - the naturally occurring chemicals found in smoke from the burning of Australian bush litter, as a catalyst to germination.
Australian bushlands often regenerate quickly after a bush fire. Much of this is due to the germination of seeds after the fire. Seeds are often released after the fire into a bed of ashes or are already in the soil covered by ash. When good rains arrive chemicals from the smoke held in the ash and soil help to trigger the germination of the seeds.
The Wildflower Seed Starter contains karrikinolide which has been identified the active chemical in smoke that stimulates seeds to germinate. We recommend Wildflower Seed Starter for most of our range of packaged seeds - and it will not harm other seeds.
Simply sprinkle it on top of the soil or potting mix after sowing the seeds. The first watering washes the smoke chemicals around the seeds to boost germination. Seed Starter can also help produce stronger seedlings and improve their survival after germination. In those cases where the seeds need to be soaked in hot water before sowing, a small amount of the granules can be added to the hot water and left to soak with the seeds to help trigger their germination.
