Charter Schools Lifetime Achievement Award
The Charter Schools Lifetime Achievement Award is granted to extraordinary individuals who devote tireless passion in support of charter schools, and dedicate their lives to accomplishing significant results for the charter school movement. This honor is awarded to contributors who have had a lasting and fundamental impact on, not only charter schools, but the education system as a whole. The awardee is someone who has demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to the cause, and whose numerous achievements have been acknowledged by charter school advocates, their professional peers, and the general public.
Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker, Charter Schools Lifetime Achievement Award
Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker
Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker is the former chief of staff to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He also served as executive director of the Southern Leadership Conference, and from 1970-1980 as special assistant for urban affairs to New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. Walker was essential to the civil rights movement, working as the first full-time executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He helped organize the 1963 "March on Washington," and the 1963 protests in Birmingham, Ala., which led to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. His pioneering work extended beyond the borders of the United States as Walker worked to fight apartheid in South Africa by organizing the International Freedom Mobilization in 1978, and was later inducted into the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame. Serving 37 years as pastor of Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church of Christ (1967-2004), he was named Pastor Emeritus in 2004, and remains an integral part of the community.
His concern for educational excellence as a continuation of his civil rights activism led him to advocate for a charter school in the Harlem community, where he co-founded the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem, the first charter school in New York approved by the State University of New York.
President Bill Clinton
President Clinton championed public charter schools throughout his career, most especially with the establishment of the federal Charter Schools Program, which has allowed thousands of charter schools to open and will give millions of students a chance at a better education. This award recognizes President Clinton's ongoing support of public charter schools spanning more than 20 years. President Clinton established the federal government's interest in supporting the development of the charter school movement in 1993, when he proposed the Charter Schools Program (CSP). This program was enacted through the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1994. The CSP is a discretionary grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It supports the planning, development and start-up process for new charter schools. When President Clinton was elected in 1992 there was only one charter school open. By the time his administration left office, there were over 2,000 charter schools across the nation.

Q: Why aren't the Star Wars movies on television lately? Before Lucasfilm was sold to Disney it seemed like the Star Wars movies were on television every weekend. In the US, Spike TV would do weekend marathons of them.
Has there been an official statement from Disney regarding the television rights of the Star Wars movies?

A: According to this Variety article, the original deal with Spike TV was made back in 2005. They paid $65 million for the exclusive broadcast rights for all six movies for six years starting in 2008. This deal was exclusive; the only way you were watching Star Wars on basic cable in the US was on Spike.
Before that Fox's own TV network had the rights. They even paid $80 million for a 10-year exclusive license for The Phantom Menace. *sad trombone*
Six years after 2008 is 2014. January 2014 is the last time I can find Spike TV did a Star Wars marathon and they did this awesome commercial starring the 501st Legion.

According to this Hollywood Reporter article, Fox, not Disney, still owns the rights to broadcast the six Star Wars movies, while Disney has the rights to digital distribution.
The five most recent revert to Disney in 2020, but Fox holds onto A New Hope forever. Here's the relevant quote (the "third-party studio" is Fox):

Prior to the Company's acquisition, Lucasfilm produced six Star Wars films (Episodes 1 through 6). Lucasfilm retained the rights to consumer products related to all of the films and the rights related to television and electronic distribution formats for all of the films, with the exception of the rights for Episode 4, which are owned by a third-party studio. All of the films are distributed by a third-party studio in the theatrical and home video markets. The theatrical and home video distribution rights for these films revert back to Lucasfilm in May 2020 with the exception of Episode 4, for which these distribution rights are retained in perpetuity by the third-party studio.
—"Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter", page 13, The Walt Disney Company

It's Fox, not Disney, who controls who gets to broadcast Star Wars.
I can't find information on who currently has broadcast rights in the US. Likely they're holding it back until the release of the new movie.

Time to rethink tax exemption for universities that compete with private sector
When you think of a nonprofit, do you think of a sprawling organization that dominates its town economy, forces up everyone else's property taxes, and has an endowment in the $27-37 billion range?
Does it make sense for these institutions to pay no taxes?
Jenna Robinson, president of the North Carolina-based Martin Center for Academic Renewal, looks at some opportunities to make these plutocratic bastions of left-wing indoctrination ruled by money-grubbing financial wizards pay their fair share.
Writing in The Herald Sun, Robinson proposes targeting these institutions' voluminous commercial activities rather than their endowments, an example set by the Connecticut Legislature's failed Yale-specific bill:
Last year, the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Ways and Means requested information from the 56 private universities in the United States with endowments worth more than $1 billion, including Duke University and Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem. …
Although most of the committees' questions concerned the universities' endowments, the size of their tax-exempt property holdings was also of interest. As education reformers writing in the Washington Post revealed, many wealthy universities own extensive – and valuable – real estate. Harvard alone holds 25 million square feet of property. The article's authors conclude that automatic property tax exemptions for universities should be on the table for debate.
North Carolina educational institutions look a lot like ordinary commercial interests, Robinson notes:
The PNC Arena in Raleigh is the home of NC State Basketball. But it also hosts professional hockey games, concerts, and events like "Disney on Ice."
The Carolina Inn at UNC-Chapel Hill bills itself as "the only hotel on campus!" It provides event space for UNC Board of Trustees meetings and rooms for university visitors. But it also rents space for wedding receptions, parties, and meetings. Rooms start at $198 per night.
The Washington Duke Inn (owned by Duke University) has an 18-hole championship golf course, home of the Duke University Golf Club. Six PGA Professionals and one Master PGA Professional are on staff and available for group or private lessons.
At the least, municipalities should seek PILOT agreements – payment in lieu of taxes – from their local colleges and universities, similar to the pittance of $10 million Harvard has paid Cambridge, Robinson argues.
They are sucking off the government teat for public services such as police and fire without paying for it, unlike all other property owners:
[I]nstitutions that sell commercial goods in competition with private businesses are not providing public goods and should not be regarded as non-profit institutions while engaging in commercial activities.
Nor should local taxpayers bear the burden of universities' business ventures or unfettered expansion. Higher education's commercial activities should be treated as what they are: big business. And taxed accordingly.

SOCOMA is the acronym for SOurce COntrol for stormwater MAnagement.
The SOCOMA group is a working group part of the IWA / IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage (JCUD) operated jointly by the International Water Association (IWA) and the International Association on Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR).
The SOCOMA working group studies source controls, which are defined as all measures applied to control stormwater before it enters sewers or the surface receiving waters.
The group's objective is to facilitate the development of these techniques, by conducting research and experiments, and disseminating the results with various means. As compared to the WSUD (Water Sensitive Urban Design) working group, which has related interests but in a more holistic and institutional outlook, SOCOMA focuses on more technical aspects related to source control technologies as applied to urban drainage. The activities and participation at workshops would therefore be more oriented to provide a forum for exchanging technical details of design and implementation of source control mechanisms or BMPs. The group includes researchers, practitioners and policy-makers and represents a great opportunity to present and debate new ideas.

Q: Constructing a function $f : \Bbb R^2 \to \Bbb R$ such that $f(a, b)$ is an integer if and only if $a, b$ are integers.
What are some examples of functions $f(a,b)$ that is an integer if and only if when $a$ and $b$ are both integers? We require that $f$ be continuous, though not necessarily differentiable, and that we only use elementary functions.

A: Hint A function $$f(x, y) = g(x, y)^2 + h(x, y)^2$$ is zero precisely where $g$ and $h$ are. So, pick a function $j : \Bbb R \to \Bbb R$ that vanishes only at integer values $t$ and is suitably bounded and set $g(x, y) = j(x)$ and  $h(x, y) =  j(y)$.

 For example, $$\Bbb R \to \Bbb R, \qquad t \mapsto \sin \pi t$$ vanishes only at integers $t$, so $$\boxed{f(x, y) := \frac{1}{3} (\sin^2 \pi x + \sin^2 \pi y)}$$ vanishes exactly when both $x$ and $y$ are integers. On the other hand, $$0 \leq |f(x, y)| \leq \frac{1}{3}(1 + 1) < 1 ,$$ so $0$ is the only integer value $f$ assumes.

Remark Any two integers in the image $\operatorname{im} f$ of such a function $f$ must be consecutive, and in particular $\operatorname{im} f$ contains no more than two integers. Suppose not: Let $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$ be integer points where $f$ takes on nonconsecutive integer values $c_1, c_2$, say, $c_1 < a < c_2$ for some integer $a$, and pick a path $\gamma : [t_1, t_2] \to \Bbb R^2$ connecting those points not passing through any other integer points. Then, $f \circ \gamma$ is a continuous function $[t_1, t_2] \to \Bbb R$ satisfying $(f \circ \gamma)(t_i) = f(x_i, y_i) = c_i$, $i = 1, 2$, and the Intermediate Value Theorem says that there is some $t \in I$ such that $f(f \circ \gamma)(t) = a$, so $f$ takes on the integer value $a$ at the noninteger point $\gamma(t)$.

A: An extremely trivial example: let $f$ be the constant function
$$f(a,b)=\frac{1}{2}$$
This works because the implication
$$ f(a,b)\in\Bbb Z \implies a,b\in\Bbb Z $$
is vacuously true.

Kidspreneurship
Creating an environment where kids can be made ready for the future of work.
Date : June 24, 25 & 26
Total Camp Duration Days = 9 Hours
According to the World Economic Forum, the Future of work will be all about 21st-century skills that transform kids from learners to job creators.
It is clear that Entrepreneurship will be a skill necessary to succeed in the world of tomorrow. Hence we are launching 'Kidspreneurship' with the sole motive of empowering kids to realize that they have the skills and intelligence to set up their very own enterprise.
More than anything else, your kids will love the exposure you are providing them at this young age.
We believe that every kid has the potential to become an entrepreneur. And with the right kind of training and mentorship and of course supportive parents, kids can explore this facet of life at a very young age.
We also make it a point to groom kids to be more empathetic and concerned about society. This ensures that kids think about business ideas that are sustainable, help the community and create a better world. And last but not least, the feeling of being self-reliant gives kids the confidence they've always needed. They get the push to face life's trials and emerge victorious.
You may think all this is a little too much to learn in a 3-day workshop, but you will be surprised at how most kids pick up these skills quickly and naturally. All they need is the right environment and of course, the right start.
If you have more questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Enrol your kid to the program NOW
Date and TimeJune 24, 25, 26 - Timings 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
If you still not convinced to take the plunge. Have a look at these incredible kids who have shown the world that you are never too young to don the entrepreneur hat!
Lily Born – Founder of Kangaroo Cups
Lily's company started when she noted how difficult it was for her grandfather, who had Parkinson's disease, to use a cup without spilling. She not only went on to create a spill-free mug made of moldable plastic for her grandpa but she ran with the idea and made ceramic versions for her dad who would frequently spill his coffee on his laptop. The end result? A company called Imagiroo. Kudos to Lily and her indomitable problem-solving spirit!
Farrhad Acidwala - Founder of Rockstah Media
The entrepreneur bug bit Farrhad quite young when he sold an online community he created. That shifted something inside him to view the world as something that is full of opportunities. That's when he decided to start Rockstah Media, an international brand, marketing, and web development agency. Today his clients include Indian National Award winners, corporates, media houses and more. What a journey!
Mikaila Ulmer - Founder of BeeSweet Lemonade
Mikaila's journey started with being stung by a bee when she was 4. This set her on a path of becoming fascinated with the creatures and finding out that their populations were rapidly declining. She decided to help with a simple lemonade business that used her great grandmother's flaxseed lemonade recipe that also had locally made honey added. What started off as a simple initiative, earned her $60,000 on Shark Tank and eventually made her a millionaire after she sold her brand to Whole Foods!
Alina Morse - Founder of Zollipops
Alina's hunt for healthy candy led her to created Zollipops, fruit-flavored lollipops sweetened without sugar. The savvy entrepreneur had parents lining up for these healthy treats in no time. But it doesn't end there. Her initiatives inspired then First Lady Michelle Obama to invite her to the White house, not once, but twice. Who knew candy could take you places!
Robert Nay - Founder of Nay Games
'Bubble Ball' the game went absolutely viral without over 1 million downloads in just 2 weeks. The mind behind it all? 14-year old Robert Nay. He did not have any business or coding experience but he never let that stop him. He learned all he needed to learn through books in the library and wrote the 4000 lines of code himself. Those hours of self-learning sure paid off. What a fantastic example of a true go-getter!

Technology often has a nostalgic link to the era in which it was in vogue. However, just because a piece of tech is found to be behind the times by modern standards, this does not mean that its usefulness has vanished. Sometimes it is when an old piece of tech has lost its appeal that someone discovers a new purpose for it. Then, that which was believed to be condemned to the shelves at the rear of the storeroom gets a new purpose—and sometimes new popularity. Old technology can give life to new and innovative ideas. Here are a few of those innovations to consider. That Old Transistor Radio While the younger generation is busy with their iPods and MP4 players, the older generation remembers the days when hand-held transistor radios were all the rage. Despite being less popular today, many might be shocked to learn that blind people still use transistor radios to help them to navigate screen changes on other electronic devices. Since the radio provides an audible change in the static hum of AM frequency channels when the screen of a nearby electronic device has changed, this can be used to help a blind person know that something has taken place on a screen they cannot read. Some blind people have successfully used this method to navigate the use of drum machines and other previously inaccessible electronic devices. All Those Unused Monitors Often people buy new computer gear and stick their old monitors in the garage or at the back of their closet. Before long they realize they have a slew of old monitors. Removing the monitors from their base makes it possible to arrange the monitors in a vertical, homemade frame. The more monitors you have, the more you can use to make a multiple screen video display. With enough video cards to drive their use, a person can finally have that multiple display they always wanted for watching television or running their home security system through. Sometimes, a broken monitor is just a simple repair away from being incredibly useful. Research what the problem might be online, or contact a service like Contec Direct to see if it's worth the trouble. Phone Cameras If you are the type to have a bunch of old cell and smartphones laying around in a box, it might be time to put their on-board cameras to work. Instead of spending a fortune on new cameras for your home security system, simply making use of these older cameras is one way to outfit your home with 360-degree monitoring. One perk is that old phones, even when they aren't connected to a phone network anymore, can still connect to your WiFi network. You can have a home security system without having to run wires to every corner of your house! The Old Bulky Television Many people have an old broken television they are no longer using. Many of the older televisions are bulky and served as a place where the family gathered around on movie night. Now broken, it is okay to wait until the television has had time to drain its power and start gutting out its insides. With the inside empty, the display box with the glass screen front can be used for displaying some other scene or object of your choice. You could even completely gut it, and plant some flowers inside for a contemporary urban art piece! Old tech is all around us. Some of this tech may still have a lot of useful functions. With a little creative thought and hard work, you would be surprised what can be made out of your collection of outdated technology.
Many people understand the importance of recycling. In fact, almost a fourth of Americans recycle their water bottles. But other than cans, glass, and paper, what else are you supposed to recycle? Why Recycle? Before we dive into what should always be recycled, let's outline why it is so important to recycle in the first place. Although it seems like every product we purchase replenishes itself, every item we consume is made from a limited resource. If we are not responsible, we may run out of these resources someday. When we choose to recycle our goods, the material that was used again to create the products we love will be used for a similar product. Every time you recycle, you contribute directly to a sustainable future. Car Tires Although it may sound odd, car tires are extremely bad for the environment. According to the experts at Discount Tire Center, you should always recycle old automobile tires. When they are decommissioned, they are merely a large rubber, hollow donut. Old tires laying around create an environment that is prone to flooding, vermin, and mosquitos. Furthermore, rubber is conducive to fire. Fires born from the rubber of a tire will usually last longer to extinguish, thus causing an unrelenting amount of pollution to the environment. On the bright side, tire-derived fuel or TDF is responsible for a large portion of energy. One tire can produce up to five gallons of fuel, so it is in the best interest of this planet to continue recycling car tires. Mobile and Desktop Computers Steve Jobs and Bill Gates accomplished their dreams of putting a personal computer inside every home, but that also created a large amount of waste. Fortunately, old computers and laptops can be recycled as well. Best Buy, Office Depot, and Staples all accept larger electronics for a small recycling fee to ease your stress. These products contain dangerous chemicals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and brominated flame retardants that continue to destroy environments surrounding landfills. Plastic Bags The importance of recycling plastic cannot be explained in a better way than looking at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Alternatively, the act of recycling plastic will decrease the need for petroleum (a non-renewable resource) and increase our levels of sustainability. Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs Although they demand less energy, these light bulbs contain mercury. When they are smashed in a landfill, they release mercury into the soil, polluting the surrounding area. Alternatively, recycling one light bulb can produce one light bulb and it is easily completed at your local Home Depot. Simply find their Lamp Recycle area, and they will recycle the bulb for you. Recycling is difficult to begin but easily maintained. Once you begin the process of changing the way you dispose of unwanted products and materials, you will acclimate within weeks. When it comes to recycling, it really is a decision between sustainable living and the opposite.


During this time of year, Halloween shops are popping up all over the city with costumes galore. Costumes sold online and in Halloween stores aren't friendly for the low budgeted or cheap.
Using these tips and strategies, embracing the Halloween spirit can be celebrated without stress.
1. Use your existing wardrobe.
Open your closet. Get familiar with the items that you own. Not everyone's closet conveniently comes with eccentric items that perfectly emulate a witch. Think of different eras of fashion and famous fictional characters, specifically your fictional characters.
With the items you already own, fashion together an outfit based certain items you can put together. For example, dark clothes can be made Gothic and transformed into Wednesday or Morticia Addams. A denim outfit, bandana and rolled hair form Rosie the Riveter. Tie-dyed shirts, bottle cap glasses and earthy tones with fringe are the basics to create a typical hippie outfit or all leather and safety pins can be a traditional punk ensemble.
Be creative and it's possible to pay homage to an era or fictional character you adore.
2. Dress minimally and use something cheap and bold.
With not a lot of money in your bank account, head-to-toe elaborate apparel is not easy to come by. At any specialty or party store, items such as fairy wings, horror masks, masquerade masks and special effects face paint are cheap and accessible.
If you wear a neutral outfit, maybe even one of the same color, the accessories take the forefront and how you're dressed as becomes apparent. For example, if you wear any casual outfit but dress up your face and visible body with special effects makeup and blood, you can go as a corpse or as a zombie. With a dressed up attire, a masquerade mask can create a costume.
If all you need to create your idea is a cheap costume accessory, the completed look should be under ten dollars.
Be old school. This may be the hardest and the most creative, but it can also be the most worth it.
With cheap art supplies such as cardboard, craft paint, sheets and any household item that can be used for a look. Go ala Charlie Brown and be a ghost using a cut up bed sheet. Using cardboard, a beloved book or square shaped item can become a full fledged suit. Whether it be a cheaply made pumpkin or a salt shaker, the imperfections that come from a crafted Halloween costume are half the fun and half the appeal.
Out of the earlier options, thrifting may be the most unreliable but ultimately gives the most rewarding results. Atlanta offers a variety of options and stores. With thrifting, especially during Halloween season, the oddball options that are hung give a wide range of items to make a costume.
If you are looking to dress as a fictional iconic character or from an certain era, thrift stores contain all types of dress from all eras. Along with the random assortment of clothing of all types, thrift stores are cheap enough to where it's possible to put together an outfit simply all from a thrift store.
1. Look at everything. Thrift stores are crowded and generally organized with no rhyme or reason. Unlike department stores, they aren't arranged strategically to help the customer find things conveniently. The only way to know you have not missed something is to dig. Don't limit yourself to your gender or size. Things are misplaced and somethings can be still used throughout the entirety of the store.
2. Understand the flaws in used and old clothing. There might be stains, there might be dated aspects and it might definitely need to changed to suit your needs. That's half the fun and should always be expected.
3. Decide on a budget. While thrifting is a cheap option, prices may still vary, and it's tempting to get a lot of things due to the reduced prices. Settle on a maximum price that you are able to spend and stick to it no matter how tempting the plaid skirt is.
4. Plan out your outfits. Know what kind of costume you're looking for and what kind of items you need to find. It will leave you with a open mind to altering certain items and making them work for your benefit.
5. Have fun with it. As easy as it is to get worked up over the costume being perfect, what's fun about Halloween is dressing up and celebrating all things paranormal. If the costume is off and the colors are wrong, just laugh about it and enjoy the ritual of dressing as something you are not.

Supreme Court declines to take up appeal from gun dealers against restrictive New York concealed carry laws
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to take up an appeal from New York gun dealers against the state's overly restrictive new concealed carry laws that were hastily crafted last year in response to the high court knocking down its previous restrictive permitting scheme, Reuters reported.
There were no noted dissents or explanations from any of the nine justices about why the court had decided not to take up this particular application for relief of a law that pretty clearly violates the Second Amendment.
New York's even more restrictive concealed carry laws
In June 2022, the Supreme Court issued its landmark New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen ruling that struck down the Empire State's restrictive "proper cause" requirement to obtain a concealed carry permit, recognized that people had the right to carry firearms in public, and established a new "historical tradition" test for measuring the constitutionality of all firearms regulations.
Yet, in response to that ruling, the New York state legislature swiftly passed the misnamed Concealed Carry Improvement Act which is arguably even more broadly restrictive against the rights of gun owners and sparked numerous legal challenges, including from a group of licensed gun dealers and antique firearms collectors in the state.
In this particular case, the dealers are challenging the law's requirements that they install expensive security alarm systems and maintain extensive sales records that will admittedly be used as the basis for an unconstitutional state firearms registry.
Reuters noted that a district court had refused to issue a requested preliminary block against those provisions and an appeal of that decision had been similarly rejected by the 2nd Circuit, hence the application for relief with the Supreme Court that has now also been denied.
Challengers "disappointed" by "unfortunate" decision
Paloma Capanna, the lead attorney for the New York gun dealers, told Fox News on Wednesday, "We are disappointed that not one of the nine justices saw fit to grant the plaintiffs some stay of enforcement of the new laws against them."
"We are challenging the ability of the state of New York to target dealers in firearms in the lawful stream of commerce, to put them out of business, which is what the new laws will do," the attorney continued. "So it really was unfortunate to see that we couldn't get any emergency temporary injunction against those laws."
Capanna added, "The list of new mandatory compliance even goes so far as a turnover of acquisition and disposition records … which the state of New York attorneys have admitted will be used to create the first-ever gun owners registry housed at the New York State Police."
Letting the process play out … for now
Supreme Courtblog reported just one week earlier that the Supreme Court had similarly declined to take up an appeal from a group of gun owners against a 2nd Circuit panel's stay of a district court's ruling in their favor to preliminarily block numerous provisions within New York's restrictive new concealed carry laws.
While the rejection of the application for relief in the case of Antonyuk v. Nigrelli had also been unanimous, it did include a statement from Justice Samuel Alito that was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas that seemed to explain why the appeal had been rejected and to send a rather clear message to both the applicants and the 2nd Circuit court.
Alito noted that New York's law "presents novel and serious questions under both the First and the Second Amendments" and that the "thorough opinion" of the district court strongly indicated that the applicants were "likely to succeed on a number of their claims" — yet, without explanation, the 2nd Circuit stayed the lower court's injunction even as it ordered "expedited briefing" on the merits of the case.
"I understand the Court's denial today to reflect respect for the Second Circuit's procedures in managing its own docket, rather than expressing any view on the merits of the case," Alito concluded. "Applicants should not be deterred by today's order from again seeking relief if the Second Circuit does not, within a reasonable time, provide an explanation for its stay order or expedite consideration of the appeal."
In other words, Justice Alito put the 2nd Circuit on notice that it was expected to do its job in a timely fashion and with an explanation for its decision-making while he also let the challengers know that the Supreme Court would eventually intervene if the appeals court continued to drag its feet in this matter — a sentiment that likely also applies to the separate challenge from the gun dealers.

Why Europeans must reject Christianity, 5
by Ferdinand Bardamu
Christianity: destroyer of empires
Christianity was a key factor in Rome's decline. When the church became the dominant institution of late classical antiquity, it became a significant drain on the economic resources of the empire. This was not a simple wealth transfer; funds for pagan temples and shrines were not simply diverted from secular coffers to finance ecclesiastical growth.
Unlike the pagan cults, the Nicene state religion was administered by a vast centralized bureaucracy, whose reach was empire-wide and whose officials were more numerous and more highly paid than those of the state. Revenue that could have been used to improve infrastructure, such as the building of roads, bridges, aqueducts and theatres went towards the building of useless structures like churches and monasteries and the feeding of "idle mouths": monks, priests and bishops, who contributed nothing of material or economic value to the state.
This tremendous waste of resources becomes even more staggering when one considers the relatively low level of technological and scientific development in the empire. Actual labor-saving devices were rare, so productive labor was done by hand or with the help of oxen. The amount of manpower needed to feed, clothe and house the "idle mouths" of the Christian church was considerably more than what was needed for a typical official of the Roman civil service.
The enormous talents of men like Athanasius and John Chrysostom, who would have been better employed defending the empire as able generals and rulers, were instead wasted on expanding the power and influence of the church in daily life. Indeed, valuable manpower and material resources squandered in the service of "idle mouths" is a recurring theme in the history of Christianity. The Christian concern for "idle mouths" exerted a profoundly dysgenic effect on the European gene pool.
Europe's cognitive elite, instead of passing on their genes, were encouraged to withdraw from society and embrace the spiritual discipline of perpetual chastity or virginity. This negatively affected average population IQ, leaving the church with an abundance of easily controlled and docile serfs less able to maintain the civilization around them with each passing generation. Thomas Aquinas is the prime casualty of this destructive waste of human talent. His genius would have been more profitably employed in the field of medicine or experimental physics; instead, it was foolishly squandered on angelology and other medieval superstitions.
The worst destruction inflicted on the western empire was, of course, perpetrated by Christians. The great sack of Rome in 411—considered a decisive moment in the decline of the West—was perpetrated by an Arian Christian. The sack of Rome in 455, even more devastating than the first barbarian rampage through the eternal city, was perpetrated by another Christian, who had earlier weakened the empire by seizing the province of Africa as his own personal fiefdom. And of course, the person who delivered the final coup de grace, effectively ending Roman imperial rule in the West and inaugurating the Dark Ages in western Europe, was also a Christian.
Apologists typically deny Christianity's role in imperial decline, retorting that Byzantium survived the fall of the Latin West. Our Christian excuse-makers fail to realize that the east was richer and more populous. This allowed the Byzantine state to better absorb the tremendous internal damage caused by the depredations of the parasitical Nicene state religious cult. There are also geographical reasons for Byzantine survival. The eastern emperor had a much shorter frontier to defend. Constantinople, the imperial capital, was surrounded by a series of massive fortifications begun by Constantine and completed in the early 5th century. These were virtually impregnable to barbarian invaders. Unlike the east, the west had no second line of defense.
The Nicene state religious cult forced Rome to her knees, drawing the curtain over classical antiquity. The civilizational collapse that followed is known as the Dark Ages, when post-Roman Europe underwent a significant decline in living standards.
When Christians were at their most powerful, the roads and highways that covered the empire fell into disrepair; use of bridges and aqueducts virtually ceased; knowledge of building in stone and mortar almost disappeared; literacy, such as it was, disappeared, with the exception of the clergy; personal standards of hygiene disappeared; indoor plumbing disappeared; large areas of the former empire were depopulated, and lastly; use of coinage nearly ceased, signifying an end to the complex monied economy of Roman times.
Christian hegemony in Byzantium led to centuries of scientific and technological stagnation. There was even a Byzantine Dark Age that lasted for hundreds of years. During this period, borders shrank, cities were reduced to fortified enclaves, money gave way to barter, and Byzantine literature consisted of reams of insipid hagiography.
This was the world of Christianity: a world of profound ignorance and stupidity, where brutal men, under the guise of religion, tyrannized over a weak and helpless populace. The Dark Ages were Christianity's gift to Europe. They were ushered in by Christians, presided over by Christians and prolonged for centuries by Christians. Europe endured one of its darkest hours when Christians were at the apogee of their power and influence.

One of the most pressing issues within business today is the attraction and retention of talent, with recruiters even describing a "talent war".
But what if the most talented people within a business could be easily replicated? What if the hidden perceptions, attitudes and thought processes which drive high performance could be decoded and transferred from one person to another – literally, from one mind to another?
NLP modelling is the process of representing the patterns of organisation of the specific skills and results of excellence of an exemplar; first in one's own system, then subsequently in a form which can be taught to other people. The evidence of successful modelling is when the modeller's performance achieves similar results within the same context and time frame as that demonstrated by the exemplar. It requires a tacit modelling phase of unconsciously taking up the skill. This is followed by a period of use before a final a phase of building an explicit description for transfer to others.
Modelling can be effectively used to codify excellence of top performers and install the same code in average to above average performers in order to raise the bar of excellence and increase productivity.
This is a specialised service for companies to deeply understand the unarticulated wants/needs/beliefs of their employees, and to learn how to motivate employees and cohesively align them towards the companies culture and vision.
Companies suffer and productivity flags when employees are not motivated enough to consistently produce excellence. Behavioural Ethnography Projects effectively ascertains issues and arms management with the tools to address them.
Carved out from Behavioural Psychology and Neuro Linguistic Programming, one on one interviews with employees gives out their Motivation and Working Traits which are then worked upon to empower and align them towards company goals and improve performance.

Jaipur, April 25 : Breaking her silence on the Alwar lynching case after 24 days, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said today that no culprits would be spared and such incidents would not be tolerated in the state.
"Such incidents would not be tolerated in Rajasthan. Seven people have been arrested and further appropriate action will be taken on the basis of facts that will emerge after investigation," Raje told reporters in the state assembly premises here.
"None of the culprits will be allowed to get away," she emphasised.
The incident occurred in Behror town in Alwar district when Pehlu Khan and four others were attacked by a mob of cow vigilantes while they were on their way to Haryana after purchasing cattle in Rajasthan's Ramgarh on April 1.
55-year-old Khan succumbed to his injuries at a hospital on April 3 leading to massive outrage.
The incident also led to uproar in the Vidhan Sabha yesterday as the opposition Congress attacked the government over the law and order situation in the state.


Let's look at some ways your credit card can help make your side hustle a lot easier and more rewarding.
In any business, keeping good records is extremely important. When you're a salaried employee, it's pretty simple. You'll receive a T4 slip from your employer come tax time. However, with a side hustle, you're responsible for keeping track of your own income and expenses. In terms of expenses, that's when your credit card can really shine.
By having a separate credit card for your business, it could save you hours of separating your personal and business expenses, not to mention, it will also make life a lot easier if you're ever audited by Canada Revenue Agency. You're also less likely to miss valuable tax deductions you're entitled to.
You'll still need to hold onto receipts, but a separate credit card for your business sure makes life a lot simpler.
It takes money to make money, as the saying goes. Most businesses require some out-of-pocked expenses to get starting. By applying for a new credit card specifically for business use, you might be able to take advantage of a few different perks. For starters, look for a handsome sign up bonus – but be sure to understand any qualifiers to get the maximum bonus. You might also earn extra reward points in the first few months or a low introductory interest rate on new purchases. Cash flow may be tight when you're first starting your business, so be sure to choose wisely.
If your business has ongoing expenses, choose a credit card that offers a higher reward accrual on the expenses you're likely to spend the most on, helping you put more of your hard-earned money back in your pocket where it belongs.
Whether you're just starting your side hustle or you're ready to turn it into a full-time venture, always be on the lookout for opportunities to earn extra rewards. For example, if you're the driver for a ride sharing service, by choosing a credit card that offers the highest rewards on gas (without a cap), you can help offset your single biggest expense, fuel.
Likewise, if you're planning to list your property on a short-term rental website and you're looking to buy some nicer furnishings, you can choose a credit card that will give you a higher rewards accrual on department store purchases.
These are just three simple examples of how you can use your credit card to help grow your side hustle. By thinking of your credit card as an asset in growing your business, you can use it to your benefit on your way to achieving side hustle success.

Peters, K. J., Saltre, F., Friedrich, T., Jacobs, Z., Wood, R., McDowell, M., Ulm, S. & Bradshaw, C. J. A. (2019). FosSahul 2.0, an updated database for the Late Quaternary fossil records of Sahul. Scientific Data, 6 (1), 272-1-272-7.
The 2016 version of the FosSahul database compiled non-human vertebrate megafauna fossil ages from Sahul published up to 2013 in a standardized format. Its purpose was to create a publicly available, centralized, and comprehensive database for palaeoecological investigations of the continent. Such databases require regular updates and improvements to reflect recent scientific findings. Here we present an updated FosSahul (2.0) containing 11,871 dated non-human vertebrate fossil records from the Late Quaternary published up to 2018. Furthermore, we have extended the information captured in the database to include methodological details and have developed an algorithm to automate the quality-rating process. The algorithm makes the quality-rating more transparent and easier to reproduce, facilitating future database extensions and dissemination. FosSahul has already enabled several palaeoecological analyses, and its updated version will continue to provide a centralized organisation of Sahul's fossil records. As an example of an application of the database, we present the temporal pattern in megafauna genus richness inferred from available data in relation to palaeoclimate indices over the past 180,000 years.

This stream of work builds upon the PSSRU work in the development and design of assessment systems. It includes research based upon evaluation of the single assessment process, self assessment, assessment in care homes and evaluation of different approaches to performance and quality measurement in older people's services. This is currently also researched as part of an NIHR-funded Doctoral Research Fellowship.
PSSRU has a long tradition of service evaluation and service development in relation to care coordination and case management. The studies reported here cover case management in the NHS and care management in social care.
The studies reported here cover old age mental health services, dementia care and a range of other issues such as hospital discharge and balance of care.
PSSRU has led several studies of the organisation and operation of old age mental health services. More recently an NIHR programme grant has served to develop this area of activity.
An NIHR programme grant to PSSRU and partners aims to investigate and evaluate different models of home support for people with dementia and their carers.
The PSSRU was commissioned to develop a North West Dementia Centre. Although this no longer receives funding legacy information is available.
North West Dementia Centre Information produced by the Centre included factsheets, bulletins and a training manual.
The Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) is a multi-site unit with branches at the University of Kent, London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Manchester.

There are many reasons to add tile to a kitchen countertop, from beautifying the space to creating a better work surface. While you can add tile over any surface, if you want it to be watertight and stable, you'll need to start the countertop from scratch. A solid tile kitchen countertop will not only look good, but it will help protect the cabinets underneath it from water damage.
Kitchen tile can come in a variety of styles.
Remove any appliances from near the kitchen counters. Disconnect the sink and remove it from the current countertop, then disconnect the current countertop from the cabinets and pull it up. Some countertops may attach with screws or nails, and you may need a crowbar to get them up.
Use the old countertop to draw an outline on your plywood. Cut the plywood pieces to the same dimensions as the old countertop, including the cutouts for the sink.
Cut pieces of cement backerboard using the plywood as a template. Score the backerboard with your utility knife, then bend the board to break it along the score mark. Use a jigsaw to cut the sink opening.
Place the plywood over your counters and screw it into place along the front and back edges with the 1 5/8-inch screws.
Mix up your thinset mortar and apply it to the plywood. Use your notched trowel to create ridges in the thinset. Place your backerboard over the thinset and screw it into place with the 1 1/4-inch screws. Place a screw about every 8 inches in several rows running down the backerboard.
Place the tiles on top of the backerboard and use spacers to simulate the grout lines. Make measurements to determine which tiles you will need to cut, then mark those tiles with a pencil.
Place one of the marked tiles into your tile cutter and align the center of the cutter with your pencil mark. Press down on the tile cutter handle to cut the tile. Repeat until you have cut all the tiles that you need to cut.
Use your notched trowel to spread a ribbon of thinset mortar around the outside edges of the top of your counter. Apply tile mastic to the sides of the countertop. Press your edge tiles, those that cover both the top and the sides of the countertop, into place into the mortar and mastic. Use tile spacers to keep the tiles a uniform distance apart.
Spread mortar over about a 6-square-foot area of the countertop. Go over the mortar with your notched trowel to create ridges. Put the tile into place in this area of the countertop. Use spacers to ensure that the tiles are correctly spaced. Once the tile is straight, apply the mortar to another area of the countertop and repeat the process. Continue until all of the tiles are set.
Let the mortar set according to the instructions on your particular brand of mortar. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.
Mix the grout according to the directions that come with the grout. Place the grout onto the countertop and use your grout float to work it into the gaps between the tiles. Run the grout float across the tiles in a line perpendicular to the spaces. When the grout has filled in all the spaces, run the float diagonally across the tiles to remove the excess grout.
Take a damp sponge, not a dripping wet one, and start wiping down the countertop to remove the haze of the grout. Clean the sponge frequently to avoid reapplying the grout. Continue until the countertop is finished.

Estonian native cattle () are a dairy cattle breed from Estonia. The colour varies from yellow-brown to red and most animals are naturally polled. The breed has mainly been improved from native stock, but some Jersey and Finnish bulls were used from 1955 to 1967 to overcome the effects of inbreeding. Organised breeding began in 1909 and a herdbook has been kept since 1914.

Godwin Attram undecided on coaching Great Olympics
Godwin Attram is a former player and Head Coach at Great Olympic
Former Great Olympic player and Head Coach, Godwin Attram says he wants to take his time in making a decision about taking charge of the club in Division One.
The Agosu Boys were relegated alongside Tema Youth and Bolga All Stars after the 2016/17 Ghana Premier League, a season after they returned with Attram as the Head Coach.
However, the Board of Directors of the club in a bid to save the team from relegation brought on board, Swedish coach, Tom Strand to help out, an action that later failed.
Attam together with some Olympics supporters initially protested the idea of adding Strand to the technical team, but after several consultations, both coaches worked together but the harm had already been done.
Tom Strand resigned even before the season ended and Attram reverted to his earlier position. In a chat with FootballMadeInGhana.com, he said though some directors of the club are pleading that he returns next season, he will have to think about it well before accepting or rejecting their offer.
"You all know the circumstances under which we were relegated. Indeed, I told the big men that our problem wasn't about coaching. The players needed motivation and a few things but they thought otherwise. [They] brought in another coach but we were still relegated.
"We are still talking among ourselves to see the way forward for Great Olympics. For now, I can't say that I will be coaching them or not, though nobody has said otherwise. But I need to think through it before making that decision again."
"My family went through a lot last season, because of Great Olympics. So, I want to be very careful this time about making a decision."
For Attram, he will always love the club and will always be part of it, but according to him, "The right things must be done and done professionally and Great Olympics will be back to its glorious days".

Luxury group LVMH launches London hotel focusing on 'experiences'
Jack Bell
Luxury fashion and lifestyle group Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) will open a new London hotel & spa and flagship store in London, placing a focus on experience in an unprecedented step into the industry for the brand.
The Executive reported in December that the luxury group had purchased the Belmond hotel chain for £2.5bn, and this week LVMH caused another wave in the industry with the announcement of the new hotel.
LVMH plans to revamp a Georgian building on Grafton Street in Mayfair into the Cheval Blanc hotel, spa, Celine flagship store, and restaurant, in a move that could be valued at £500m.
In a partnership with private property development firm O&H, LVMH knows the Mayfair area well – currently host to key brands Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Loro Piana, and Rimowa. Nearby, Burluti's mens luxury boutique lives on Conduit Street; whilst stores for Loewe, Celine, and Moynat operate on Mount Street.
Bernard Arnault, LVMH chairman and executive, told Business of Fashion: "The future of luxury will not only be in luxury goods, as it's been for many years, but also in luxury experiences, and we want to be in both segments."
The project is expected to be completed by 2022.
Publishing its financial report from last year, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, one of the world's leading luxury products group, recorded revenues of US$53.6bn, an increase of a tenth compared to the previous year.

Don wants govt. to enforce ban on tomato paste
Prof. Goke Bodunde of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), has called on the federal government to enforce the ban clauses on various agricultural products, particularly tomato paste.
The Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Management, made this call while delivering a lecture entitled: "Unveiling the Beauty of an Un-forbidden Fruit" at the 59th Inaugural Lecture of the institute on Thursday in Abeokuta.
He said that some imported tomato paste contained up to 50 per cent starch before dilution in Nigeria, where an additional 15 per cent starch was often added. "As a matter of fact, tomato is considered vital and almost inevitable in human nutrition which qualifies it as one "un-forbidden fruit.
READ ALSO: Confusion in court as 2 prosecution counsel appear in case
Bodunde ascribed the low productivity in Nigeria to environmental and managerial factors, noting that these factors conspire to make Nigeria a producer of just two percent of the total world output of tomato fruits in spite of the huge total land area cultivated.
According to him, there are a number of abuses detrimental to human health in an attempt to make the product available on account of low production and the dietary compulsion of tomato in culinary use.
"This is the story of some of the tomato paste and puree imported into Nigeria; 91.1 per cent of which according to NAFDAC (2015), failed to meet the required standard.
"It is noteworthy that most of the tomato paste are imported as concentrates in drums and big cans from Italy, India and China. They are usually diluted, packaged and finally canned by various canning industries in Nigeria," he said.
Speaking on the way forward, the don said that FUNAAB was endowed with huge human and material potentials that should promote interest in research along the tomato value chain.

According to him, this can make a difference in tomato availability in south western Nigeria. Bodunde also called for investment in tomato canning industry by the private sector and government in Nigeria as well as the promotion of research-industry linkage.
"Research funding remains a huge limitation to agricultural development in Nigeria, and as such, relevant arms of government should treat agricultural research funding as a concurrent responsibility for Federal, State and Local Government tiers,'' he said.


Louisiana State Police vehicles parked at headquarters, Wednesday, November 14, 2018 in Baton Rouge, La.
Seven people have been arrested for allegedly having a hand in two car crashes in New Orleans that were staged to scam money from insurance companies, Louisiana State Police said Tuesday.
According to investigators, 42-year-old Hayward Howard headed the plot, which dates back to August. The first crash involved Howard's backing a rented U-Haul truck into a car whose driver was Jasmine Howard, 28, and whose passengers were Eddie Ellis and Dante Carter, both 19.
The second crash involved Howard intentionally driving a U-Haul truck into a Cadillac owned by Ellis.
Hayward Howard, Jasmine Howard, Ellis and Carter filed insurance claims for damages and injuries in the first crash, State Police said in a statement. In the second crash, filing for damages and injuries were Hayward Howard, Ellis, 51-year-old Hayward Carter, 20-year-old Jodie Davis and 42-year-old Neichell Raymond.
Troopers eventually booked all with counts insurance fraud, with Jasmine Howard, Eddie Ellis and Hayward Carter also accused of filing false public records, said State Police, who investigate suspected insurance fraud.
State Police on Monday announced a set of separate arrests in Baton Rouge, stemming from a staged car crash involving a U-Haul truck there in October. Troopers didn't say whether they believe the cases were related.
