Looking back on my past four years it seems that every year has brought something different to my life. It may not seem it in your day to day life, but honestly everyone changes and grows up more than they have even noticed. I hadn't really hit me how far I have come in life until I became a senior. The end of senior year calls for a time for reflection. Here, I will explain what each year of college has taught me.
FRESHMAN YEAR: This is the first time you need to figure out your own schedule. What works better for you, morning or night classes. I began to realize what it meant to be financially smart, because it felt awful calling my parents weekly for money. Freshman year taught me to end the high school judgmental crap, because in college (especially at Plymouth State) you need to have an open mind, or no one will like you. It teaches you to build trust in people, as you are just meeting the people who will be your family for the next four years. I also learned it is okay to ask for help when you need it, but when you really learn is when you are stuck learning to figure something out by yourself.
SOPHOMORE YEAR: Sophomore year I realized you will undoubtedly think some of the wrong people are the people you want to be friends with during your freshman year. You will get a stronger sense of what is really important to you, and you actually start thinking about what you might want to do after college, and how you will reach those goals. You begin looking to your teaches for advice, on all different levels. They are not your high school teachers, they sort of become friends to you. And surprisingly, these relationships make a bigger impact on your life than you expected. Some gen-eds, actually open your eyes up to other aspects of the world your major does not pay attention to. You begin to realize who your REAL friends from high school are.
JUNIOR YEAR: Over anything else, Junior year showed me what my strengths and weaknesses are (especially in my major). It opened my eyes to what I should stay away from in a career path, and what I should work towards more. You realize this is the year you need to work harder than you ever have, because it is the make it or break it year. You start to look at your resume, and you realize you need to work harder because other people are surpassing you. For me personally however, it was the time I realized that everything will work out the way it is supposed to. If I keep working hard enough, I will get what I deserve. It is the time you realize the impact you have made on some of your friends, and the impact they've made on you. This is the first time I had my own apartment, and I had to take more responsibility than I ever had. I learned to cook, and realized what my cleaning patterns really were and how it will effect me in the long run.
SENIOR YEAR: You realize how much you've changed. You realize how much you learned about yourself, and you become the best person you can truly be. You learn who your REAL friends are, and where you belong because this is who you want to spend the most time with before you part ways. You realize you don't need to drink everyday, instead of trying to impress people with going out; you impress people with your school work. You learn the time flies, and you should never take anything for granted. Take everything as an experience. I realized that even with a job offer, your not sure exactly what we are going to do with the rest of our lives, but now we are getting thrown in the world to figure it out. I realized I am prepared. I realize how thankful I am for my education, my friends, and all the opportunities presented to me.
College has changed my life completely. If I hadn't gone to college, there is no doubt in my mind I would be a completely different person than I am right now. Not only was it the best time of my life, but offered me the most valuable life lessons on such an individual basis. Each year of college brought new experiences that I will cherish and carry with me forever.
What scares me most? Failure. Entering the real world and living on your own means it is now up to you to figure everything out. It is time to take full responsibility for myself. It is these few things I am most nervous about.
Finances. I will now be taking on my own bills, and my own student loans. However, I am only 21, I still will be spending my money on experiences I want.
No more time to "date" for fun, this is the time in life to start getting serious.
Life is coming at me quick, and it is time to see this reality. Growing up came way to quick, can we rewind a few years?
Fear is the monster in all of our heads. It is the reason that we question so many things. "What if I made the wrong job choice?" "What if I don't make new friends here?" "What if I end up hating it and let myself and so many others around me down?" We spend our whole lives asking questions, and worrying. But if we are constantly doing that, how are we ever supposed to grow as humans, and expand our cultural knowledge?
At some point the self doubt has to stop. It is true, we are our own worst enemies. The only thing stopping us is ourselves. We have to trust in the way of the universe.
I had always thought college was the biggest decision of my life. I was wrong. Figuring out what I want to do with my career for the rest of my life was definitely the biggest choice. It is something that is constantly hanging over me, especially with the fact that I am moving so far away. I keep thinking about how much will change when I come back in two years, how much I will miss out on.
However, I know for me I need to go out and experience something for myself. I need to experience something real, without the help of my family and friends. The monster in my head has to be tackled, self doubt has to disappear, and I need to believe in the path layed out ahead of me.
So, there is no going around the fact that senior year of college is definitely the most stressful one. On top of all the work you already have to do for your classes, you are also stuck with the overwhelming feeling that if you don't get a job you have failed as being a college student. You try to come up with excuses at family parties as to what you will be doing after graduation, and even with your friends you will tend to set too high of aspirations for yourself.
Not only are you trying to keep up with your last semester of school work, but you are also trying to keep up with the social life you have known for the past four years.
After getting a job, your spirits completely change. Your days start to feel a little less stressful, and honestly if you miss a homework assignment it is no longer the end of the world. Instead of cringing every time the question, "what are your plans for after graduation?" is asked, you now look forward to the question. Today I got the question "what is new with you?" and it had never felt so good to be able to tell someone the most crucial thing that has happened in my life.
To all incoming seniors, I honestly suggest starting to look for jobs earlier rather than later. With the last semester of college, no one wants to sit inside and job search. The earlier, the better. Now I get to spend all my free time socializing, instead of spending hours on indeed.com.
What It Feels Like Entering Your Last Month (&1/2) of School….. EVER.
Well now that there is only a month of school left, the realization that it is the last time that I will see a lot of my closest friends is tearing me apart. I recently accepted a job across the country, so no I am not just saying this because we are leaving school, and we are all moving to places only a couple hours away from each other. People would have to pay thousands of dollars in order to come see me.
With this being said, you can only guess that school work is the last thing on my mind. I am constantly wishing I had more time with my friends, and even though I need the money all I can think about is how working a part time job is the last thing I want to be doing right now.
Every time I'm in the library, and I see other students hanging out with each other having a good time- I just want to get up and leave. I want to watch movies with my roommates every night we stay in, because I know I won't be able to after these six weeks are over.
Now that I am only six weeks away from leaving some of the best friends I have ever had, I am embracing all of the things I would usually get annoyed, or mad with. Knowing I have been lucky enough to live with people that have made me laugh harder than anyone else ever could, knowing they have seen the most disturbing parts of my life.. and they still accept me, it's hard not to feel a form ecstasy when I walk into my dirty house.
These people have made me who I am, have changed my life forever. I will accept there dirty little habits for the next six weeks, knowing damn well I'll miss them when I'm gone.
When you enter College, you start to feel the first real step of independence. However, being broke and living only a couple hours away from home gives you a pretty good excuse to visit your parents as much as possible. Your friends are dying to check out the party scene at your school, and you have been seeking their approval of your new friends.
College seems to be this thing we build up in our head… we will never see our friends at home again, everyone is going to change and drift away, my parents won't be there for me to cook dinners and keep me on track with homework… blah blah blah.
However, when you get to college you realize its not like that at all. During the first two months of school, there is two long weekends most people go home for. You have a week long vacation in November. All the sudden it is December, and you have six weeks off from school in the winter that you spend at home. Then we are back for the short month of February, and before you know it, it is Spring Break. Then don't forget Easter. After that, you only have a few weeks and it's summer. In between that time, you have a lot of friends from home coming to visit, and many of the other weekends you are leaving to visit them.
Therefore, we are not TRULY leaving home. We are distancing ourselves for a while, however bringing pieces of home to a new location, and often bring new friends, beliefs, and belongings back to a new place.
Moving FAR away after college, will sure cause you fear and anxiety. However, it's a good kind of fear, a good kind kind of anxiety. You realize that now there is no running home to mom and dad when you get stressed out (or sick.. cough cough guilty). You realize that you are now a real adult. Living out completely on your own, and this gives you the true foundation for the rest of your life. How you will provide for yourself, you realize what is important to you and what isn't, and mostly you will get a sense of where you belong in life.
Staying close to home after school, you will always meet people that know others from your past. If you would, you are always sort of living stuck in the sense of who you know, who you were, and the things you've done. When you move away, you start new. You meet people that have the ability to change you, because there's no one around to hold you back from becoming what you want to be. Plus, you'll always be living with the thought of what could have been if you did decide to move away.
By taking the initiative to move far away, you are only bettering yourself. You are showing the world how independent and fearless you can be. It shows you are open to any new adventure, and in the long run will help you pursue career motives. People will admire you, and because of all the different views you have gotten you will become more innovative as well. I am a strong believer that there are people out in the world that we are destined to meet, and how can we be so sure that those people are in our hometowns?
Take the first step to the rest of your adventurous life, see what else the world has to offer you. See who else the world has to offer you. Most importantly, learn all the lessons and gain all the experience the world has to offer you. You only live one life, make it the best one it can be.
So, March rolled around. I still haven't had a successful interview, I was still unsure about what exactly I wanted to do.. meaning what type of position I wanted to be working in, where I wanted to be living, when I wanted to start, or how I would even pay for an apartment at the same time as paying back loans.
For as long as I can remember I have had a dream that I will move away after college. Both my parents are one of eight, and most of my family lives in New England. My cousins, more or less, are siblings of mine. Therefore, I knew that I would be back here later in life. I would miss them to much not to be. So I figured, instead of spending my whole life in New England I would get out for five or six years, and come back after I've experienced life somewhere else.
Dreams crushed. Every job I have looked at for an entry level position still requires two to three years of experience. My student loan statements came back, six months after graduation I will be paying nearly $900 dollars a month in loans. The jobs I was into did not offer relocation assistance. How would it be possible for me at all to be paying for an apartment AND $900 in loans a month? I started applying to jobs I wasn't excited about, the feeling of doing something great with my life after college disappeared and all that I had left was the grief of never being able to do what I have so long dreamed of.
All of the sudden, it happened. I went to an interview I had been referred to from a friend. Upon entering the interview, something just felt right. I didn't have any nerves, but instead I felt like I was right where I was supposed to be. The interviewer and I started out laughing, making jokes, and believe it or not discussing nail polish… not sure how that really ended up happening. While I was in the interview, I realized how intense and amazing this opportunity really was. The job was more than I had ever expected, and I went from it being at the bottom of my "list of jobs I want" all the way to the top. I got an offer to get flown out to Arizona to see if I like it there, because that is where I will spend two months training for this specific supply chain and sales position.
My dream felt alive again, I have not stopped smiling and making scenarios up in my head. The feeling of accomplishment, and growing up hit me. All my work has finally paid off, and my parents couldn't be happier that someone else saw how much of an asset I could be to them. Though I have not accepted the job offer, I have never felt so proud of myself.
A few days ago I was considering myself a failure because everyone else seemed to be getting it together. But no time is too late to get a job. When it happens it just happens because you have to wait for something that is meant for you. Arizona is somewhere I never really imagined myself living, but now that I have an offer from a company I could definitely see myself working for.. I feel like this is what was meant to happen the entire time.
Another thing that goes to show… whats meant to be WILL BE. Stop worrying about everything, believe in yourself, and go with the flow. We will all accomplish everything we have ever dreamed of.. if it doesn't come out of the blue like it did for me it will come from perseverance and confidence.

THE 1916 RISING — THE FIGHT IN THE DUBLIN DOCKS
On May 2, 2016 May 6, 2016 By rebelbreezeIn 1916 Rising, Current Event Report, History, Ireland, irish history, Irish Left, Irish Republicanism, National Liberation
Many people know about the Battle of Mount Street and how 15 men fought a force of Sherwood Forresters 1,600 strong and, with the support of some rifle fire from the coastal railway line (and at very long range, from Jacobs Factory), kept them from crossing the Grand Canal for five hours. But what if the British soldiers had been landed at the Dublin docks instead? In fact, why did the British prefer to land them in Dun Laoghaire, seven miles away?

THE FIGHTING IN THE NORTHSIDE DOCKLANDS
It has been historian Hugo McGuinness' contention for some time that it was the resistance that British troops encountered around the docks and at Ballybough at the beginning of the Rising, coupled with a history of the workers' resistance of the 1913 Lockout, that convinced the British that it would be a very bad idea to attempt to land troops in the Dublin docks. Hence the choice of Dún Laoghaire and bringing them from there into Dublin along the coast road. From there, unless they took a considerably roundabout route, they would pass by either the Volunteers in Bolands' Mill or their comrades at the Mount Street and Northumberland Road outposts. And so, the Battle of Mount Street Bridge.
At the start of the 1916 Rising on the outskirts of the northside Dublin area of Ballybough, the Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army mobilised to prevent British troops approaching from the Musketry School in Fairview or from any other units approaching from that direction. For a number of recent years, the East Wall History Group and historian Hugo McGuinness have been working to acquaint people with the history of the 1916 resistance in this area. See map of Annesley Bridge area today here: https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Annesley+Bridge,+Dublin/@53.3609037,-6.2409037,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x48670e5ee8f4dad1:0x9d9ebc34b28e0aa4
In 2014, the "1916 Rising: Battle at Annesley Bridge" walking tour organised by the East Wall History Group was a huge success. Led by Hugo McGuinness as guide, it was estimated that almost 200 people took part.
As the East Wall History Group commented in an introduction to eight videos they have put up from the walking tour ( http://eastwallforall.ie/?p=2376 ):
'The events at Annesley Bridge in 1916 generally receive only a small mention in the history of the Rising. In fact, there was fierce fighting at the time, not only at the bridge but throughout the surrounding areas. There were a great number of casualties, including civilians, though an exact figure has been difficult to compile. Our walking tour, for the first time, attempted to tell the whole story – from the radicalisation of the local residents in the years previous, to the events on Easter Week 1916 and how sporadic sniper battles continued after the Rising had 'officially' ended.'
That there was a military engagement at Annesley Bridge was known but it has been generally thought of as a minor skirmish. Hugo McGuinness's original research along with compilation and examination of references has uncovered a much more important story, one containing a number of armed engagements – and with far-reaching consequences.
THE RECENT PRESENTATION
On 28th April, a full hall in the Gibson Hotel of mostly North Wall residents received a presentation from historian Hugo McGuinness on "The 1916 Rising: The Fight in the Docklands", a talk organised by the East Wall History Group. Using an electronic slideshow of photos and maps to illustrate his talk, Hugo took the audience through an amazing story of Irish resistance courage, tragedy, comedy, bungling and initiative, with lots of little vignettes.

Of particular impressiveness was the group of Volunteers who ran down a street to engage a detachment of British soldiers from the Musketry School at Dollymount who were heading down East Wall Road towards the docks. The detachment of British soldiers had slipped out of an engagement with a blocking force facing Annesley Bridge. A small group of Volunteers ran down North Dock Road to cut them off and engaged them, stopping their progress. Then there was the Volunteer who put a British machine gun out of action with one shot when he hit the water-cooling mechanism.

(source Internet)
Hugo's audience were told of the Irish sniper in the docks whom the British nicknamed the 'trade unionist' – he took up position around 8am and always finished at 5pm. There was the floating gun platform in the Liffey, not just the Helga. There were no feeding arrangements made for the soldiers sent into Dublin so they looted homes and warehouses.
Many local people were interned in a large goods shed. Many houses were strafed by machine guns and a number of civilians shot dead – one man later put an empty picture frame on the wall in his hall to surround a pattern of bullet-holes there. A member of the Dublin Metropolitan Police was killed by British troops and his colleague pallbearers were held up for hours at a checkpoint manned by the Dublin Fusiliers – some residual hostility from the Lockout perhaps? Martial law here meant that if you were seen in the area, you were warned and, if seen again, you were shot! If you did not respond to a military challenge you would also be shot. Nevertheless, children hung around the troops and gathered intelligence for the insurgents – but one was killed too.
Just before concluding, Hugo mentioned the research of another historian (whose name I did not catch), showing a rise later in 1916 and in subsequent years of names give to children following some of the better-known participants in the Rising and also a rise in personal names in Irish.
(source D.Breatnach)
As is often the case with those who are passionate about their subject, Hugo's presentation was a little overlong, in my opinion and he had to rush the end. The projector threw the bottom part of the image frames, which often contained a separate photo or map, too low, so that one had to stand to see them over the heads of those in front. Those are the only two faults I felt in what was an engaging and engaged presentation of well-researched material about a fascinating but understated part of the history of the 1916 Rising, with a working class and lower middle class flavouring sprinkled throughout.
After the talk, a number of the audience joined the organisers in the bar of the Gibson Hotel where history continued to be discussed. In the foyer to the bar/restaurant, a small exhibition of panels entitled "Casualties and Prisoners" had been set up.

Inside the bar, the surroundings were plush and out of synch with the area. Although the bar was only moderately busy, the service was very slow; later we were harassed to leave as the bar was closing, although we had been served pints only ten minutes earlier. There was no arguing from the group but a number remarked that they would not be drinking there again.
The refreshments element apart, for which no responsibility lies with the group, this was another very successful event among a number organised by the East Wall History Group. Rumour has it Hugo may have a book coming out soon – I can hardly wait.

Shipwrecks, This is Crazy
March 13, 2015 LostTosight
This was the headstone that gave me the idea to start writing this blog in the first place. I took this picture in February of 2013, when I first started exploring Green-Wood. As usual, I was wandering around aimlessly, and didn't bother to keep track of where I had been. As a result, I have not been able to find this headstone again (of course). I'll find you again one of these days, Edgar C. Dean!
Edgar C. Dean, 26 years old, sailed on the Steamship Pacific on January 23, 1856 from Liverpool. That much we can gather from the stone. I did some digging, but there wasn't a whole hell of a lot I could find out about young Edgar or his family.
An 1855 census lists him as living with his father, two sisters and an Irish servant in downtown Manhattan. His occupation is listed as "seaman".
Dean Household, 5th Ward, 1855 Census
His father, William E. Dean, was a printer. His business was located at 72 Frankfort Street, just down the block from Tammany Hall. As far as I can tell, the Dean family home was nearby on Church Street.
The ship that Edgar was lost on–the Steamship Pacific–was built in 1849. This ship was large, luxurious, and fast: in 1850 she broke the record for fastest transatlantic crossing.
The Steamship Pacific
From Sandman Cincinnati:
She spanned 281 feet and was powered by two precision side-lever engines, each with a 95 inch cylinder traversing a massive 9 foot stroke. At full bore, she delivered 13 knots with all four boilers in service and consumed up to 85 tons of coal a day. The passenger compartments were just as impressive. They were spacious, finely trimmed and furnished with steam heat, an innovation of the day. The ship had many amenities to suit the passenger's needs including bathrooms, smoking rooms, a barber shop and even a french chef in the kitchen. The reason for the elaborate extras was to compete with Britain's Cunard line. The SS Pacific and her three sister ships, Atlantic, Arctic and Baltic, were financed by the US government and specifically built to win back America dominance in transatlantic traffic. Together they made up the new Collins Line – a small group of larger, faster, and more comfortable passenger vessels.
Here's where it gets interesting: On January 23, 1856 the SS Pacific and all 189 people on board vanished without a trace. Most assumed that she had hit icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland due to the fact that it had been a particularly cold and iceberg-filled winter. However, five years later, a beachcomber walking on the shore of Hebrides Island in Ulst (Scotland) found a message in a bottle from a British sea captain who was a passenger on the ship.
The note inside read:
On board the Pacific, from L'pool to N. York. Ship going down. (Great) confusion on board. Icebergs around us on every side. I know I cannot escape. I write the cause of our loss, that friends may not live in suspense. The finder of this will please get it published,
WM. GRAHAM.
A message in a bottle. Six years later. Well how do you like that.

The Surgery was established in 1980, in Dalkeith Road.
Since then many thousands of people have been successfully treated by our Registered Osteopaths. The busy practice enjoys frequent referrals from doctors and other healthcare professionals, as well as from sports and leisure clubs.
Patients at the practice have included Royalty and many personalities from the sports and entertainment world.
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment designed to provide pain relief for the body's structural and mechanical problems. A gentle form of treatment, osteopathy can benefit most types of aches, pains and strains in people of every age.
What happens when I first come to the Edinburgh Osteopathic Surgery?
When you first see one of our osteopaths they will spend some time asking you questions and taking a detailed case history. You will be asked about the problems that you are experiencing at the moment, your general health, lifestyle and medical history. A thorough examination will then be carried out to help clarify the problem and determine how best to proceed.
If your osteopath decides that osteopathic treatment is appropriate you can be treated on your first visit. As well as an explanation for your pain, often specific advice and exercises will be given as well to help you in recovery and in preventing future recurrences of your problem. Many problems require more than one visit so you may be advised to return for further treatments.
Osteopathic examination and treatment rarely causes pain and many people find it quite relaxing. Treatment may consist of specific movement and stretching of joints, as well as deep work on muscles and other soft tissues, depending on what is required.
Many patients who have been successfully treated for painful conditions benefit from checks every six to twelve months - a kind of 'human MOT'. If you suffer from occasional discomfort, then consider seeing us. Preventative treatment and advice is a worthwhile investment in your long-term health and comfort.
If after the assessment your osteopath decides that treatment other than osteopathy is required, they will not treat you but will refer you to the most appropriate source of help. In this case, or if you decide not to start having treatment yet, you will not be charged any fee for your visit.

The Sports Section Davenport wins title on mom's birthday
By ROB GLOSTER Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Mom always was there, driving Lindsay Davenport to tennis lessons and providing emotional support, even when others scoffed at her daughter's ability.
And Ann Davenport was there Saturday, celebrating her birthday, when Lindsay won the U.S. Open.
Playing in her first Grand Slam final, Davenport smashed forehand and backhand winners down the lines and won 12 of the last 15 points in a 6-3, 7-5 victory over defending champion Martina Hingis.
Davenport, the first American-born women's champion at the U.S. Open since 1982, did not lose a set in the seven rounds of the tournament, worth a $700,000 first prize.
''I guess she thinks she's getting a really nice gift now,'' Davenport said as she accepted the check, breaking into a laugh as she looked at her mom in the players' box.
After hitting a backhand volley winner on match point, the champion put her hands on her head in disbelief, then looked lovingly at her racket before smiling at her mom.
''It's just a great story. She's the one that used to drive me hours and hours and hours to go practice, since I was 6 when I started playing tennis,'' Davenport said. ''I think I've had three or four people in my career that have stuck with me the whole time and believed in me since Day 1.''
A few hours after Davenport defeated the world's top women's player, the men's No. 1 lost as well. Four-time champion Pete Sampras, hobbled by a strained left quadriceps, was ousted 6-7 (8-10), 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 by defending champion Patrick Rafter in the semifinals.
Sampras, aiming for a record-tying 12th Grand Slam singles title, was hurt late in the third set and played the rest of the three-hour match with bandages around his leg.
The third-seeded Rafter will face unseeded Mark Philippoussis in an all-Australian final Sunday. Philippoussis had 21 aces in a 6-1, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 victory over No. 10 Carlos Moya.
Philippoussis won 85 percent of his first-serve points, hitting some serves at 130 mph. His second serves were as fast as 120 mph.
Davenport is not the fastest player on the women's tour. Though she's extremely powerful, she's not as athletic as players such as Venus Williams, whom she defeated in the semifinals. And she's never been surrounded by the hype attached to some of her peers.
Though she said capturing the U.S. Open always was her biggest goal, Davenport said winning a Grand Slam title was not essential to make her life complete.
''I always said that if I never won one, I'd still be a great person and I'd still like myself and I'd still keep on playing tennis,'' she said. ''I feel like it's a great, great script. And I think not a lot of people ever picked me to win a Grand Slam.''
Davenport is the first American-born woman to win the singles championship since Chris Evert won the last of her six titles in 1982. Martina Navratilova, a native of Czechoslovakia, won the title as a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1983-84 and 1986-87.
Hingis, 17, who kept her No. 1 world ranking despite the loss, was trying to become the youngest woman to retain a U.S. Open title. She had won her previous three Grand Slam finals.
This is the first year since 1990 that four different women have won the Grand Slam singles titles -- Hingis won the Australian Open, Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario won the French Open and Jana Novotna won at Wimbledon.
On a sun-drenched day, Davenport got an early service break for a 2-1 lead in the first set by dictating play with sharp volleys and passing shots. Hingis was handcuffed by the wildness that bothered her throughout the tournament.
In the seventh game, at deuce, Davenport got a break when the wind knocked off her white baseball cap as she hit the ball into the net on a tough volley. Umpire Dessie Samuels ordered a let and Davenport won the replay to move to break point.
Hingis looked on in dismay, then lost the next point to give Davenport another service break for a 5-2 lead. When she came back from the changeover, Davenport had secured her cap with bobby pins.
Tennis rules state that a let is called and the point replayed the first time a cap flies off, or a ball falls out of a player's pocket. The second incident leads to a warning, and the third time results in a lost point.
''I don't like this rule, it's unfair for the players like me,'' Hingis said. ''I had that point won, it's her fault if the hat falls down, it's not my mistake. It's a stupid rule. I had a chance to make that point.''
Hingis, who complained about several line calls during the match, said it was ''pretty ridiculous'' that Samuels, from Terrell, Texas, was the umpire for a U.S. Open final involving an American player.
Davenport, who moved past Novotna to No. 2 in the world rankings, wrapped up the first set in 37 minutes with a backhand on the line.
Hingis seemed frustrated at times during the second set, dropping her racket on the court after losing one point and screaming at herself after another.
Davenport broke for a 4-2 lead but Hingis broke right back and again for a 5-4 lead. But Davenport regained control, breaking back as Hingis ended the 10th game with a double fault and shook her head in dismay.
Davenport, whose mobility vastly improved after she lost 30 pounds in the last year, held serve in the next game and finished off the match with another service break.
Davenport will face Hingis again Sunday in the women's doubles final, and Hingis said she hopes her opponent celebrates the singles title by partying Saturday night. Davenport said that's likely.
''I probably won't be 100 percent tomorrow, I'll tell you that now,'' Davenport said. ''This only happens you don't know how many times in your career. I plan to enjoy the next couple of days a lot.''

School District of Springfield Township's New Enfield K-2 Early Learning Center Opening this Fall
The School District of Springfield Township's (SDST) Enfield K-2 Early Learning Center opens this Fall with great enthusiasm. The completion of the school is the culmination of years of planning, community input and teamwork to design a building that fosters early learning for district's youngest students.
The new 105,000 square foot K-2 Early Learning Center (ELC) will serve as a replacement school for the K-1 Primary Center and will pull one grade out of the 2-5 elementary school to provide additional educational space. The reconfigured K-2/3-5 grade structure provided the district with new opportunities to tailor instruction to targeted age groupings.
The educational vision to enhance the learning experience through a student-centered, project-based learning approach to instruction laid the foundation for planning. As a result of a community workshop process, the hierarchy of space design and site planning spawned from the input of the group. The site access points, vehicular and bus circulation and parking, the adjacencies of the public spaces (multipurpose room/gymnasium and cafeteria) to the instructional areas, and how classroom wings of the building embrace the central outdoor learning courtyard (representative of the building 'hugging' the children) are all results of the community input received.
The main building entrance adjacent to the administration area anchors the interior street connection which provides access the gymnasium with stage and cafeteria. The street leads to the central core of the building featuring the learning resource center and STE(A)M programs and the educational focal point of the building, the learning stair. The educational areas can be secured to allow the use of the public spaces for community events after school hours.
Educationally, the space design of the new school supports a variety of instructional and learning opportunities. To create a sense of community for this younger age group within the context of the larger school, smaller learning communities were designed for each grade grouping. Each grade level wing branches out from the central core of the building and is supported by a large group instruction area to support collaborative activities for either single or multiple classroom instruction. Every two general classrooms share a small group instruction room facilitating individualized instruction. Classroom instruction and small and large-group spaces support project-based and personalized learning opportunities, differentiated instruction, the integration of technologies and STE[A]M experiences, and social and emotional learning experiences for all students.
Thank you to all that contributed to the design and construction of the new Enfield K-2 Early Learning Center. SCHRADERGROUP is grateful for this opportunity to create unique learning environments that correlate to SDST's educational vision.

Hatboro-Horsham School District's New Crooked Billet Elementary School Will Soon be Ready for Students
We are excited to announce that one of our new elementary schools is expected to be completed in early October 2020 and ready for students. Hatboro-Horsham School District's (HHSD) 110,000 SF Crooked Billet Elementary School is the District's most recent accomplishment in upgrading its aging facilities and is another symbol of rebirth in the community surrounding it. The new K-5 facility replaced the original 1950s elementary school on the same site and will accommodate a larger population of 600 students.
Important to the district and community was the preservation of the history of the site. The Battle of Crooked Billet landmark proudly displayed in front of the school anchors the primary entrance to the building. Adjacent to the main administration entrance, a two-story rotunda serves as an interactive learning space featuring the history of Crooked Billet. The rotunda is centrally located between the curricular areas for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) program including the STEAM classroom, Media Center, TV Studio and Art classroom. This central core of the building also serves as the transitional area between the public spaces such as the gymnasium and cafeteria, and the academic two-story classroom wing.
The classroom wing showcases an innovative academic layout. Four grade level classrooms are clustered together with each pair of classrooms sharing a small group instruction area. The grade level cluster is directly adjacent to a central large group instruction area where the entire grade level can gather. Each cluster is designed with its own unique color providing grade level identity and wayfinding. Student cubbies are located in the corridors to maximize classroom efficiency.
SCHRADERGROUP is grateful for this opportunity to team with HHSD for the design of Crooked Billet Elementary School. This successful collaborative experience has truly been a team effort resulting in a school that will serve the community for generations.

SCHRADERGROUP Attends Upper Merion Area School District's Groundbreaking Ceremony for their New High School Project
SCHRADERGROUP (SG) attended the Groundbreaking Ceremony marking the beginning of the construction process for the Upper Merion Area School District's new High School project.
Students, teachers, district administrators, elected officials and community members gathered to celebrate this promising new facility that will provide next-generation learning spaces for the students.
This 345,000 SF facility connects to the existing middle school through the athletic facilities creating a full secondary campus. A full competition gymnasium and competition swimming venue will be the connector to the middle school. A true "student commons" is the heart of the facility, designed as an "all-day" area for multiple activities. The students commons is a two-story atrium space with learning resources on the second level enhancing the research-and project-based components mixed with dining and food-based opportunities. After hours, this space supports pre-and post-activities for the athletic and performing arts complexes. The performing arts complex is a complete 650-seat theater with balcony and all supporting spaces. The UMASD students will have tremendous learning opportunities once this facility is complete.
After a community-engaged master planning process and two successful new elementary school projects, SG is honored to continue our partnership with UMASD on this highly anticipated state-of-the-art facility.

Great Valley School District Community Engages in Workshop to Plan for the Future
The Great Valley School District (GVSD) contracted with SCHRADERGROUP (SG) in 2019 to complete an assessment of the current district facilities (six schools plus the district office, district maintenance, bus garage and athletic stadium). That assessment reviewed current building use and examined associated costs for building improvements. In addition, the District commissioned DecisionInsite to prepare a demographic study and projected enrollments based on housing developments and housing turn-over within the district. By comparing current building capacities to the projected enrollments, the team determined the district's ability to accommodate the anticipated student population for the next five to ten years. A review of that data was presented to the community in October 2019.
In November, the District and SG facilitated a community workshop where participants were asked to comment on what they considered as the main priorities for planning. Positioning the District to offer spaces to deliver 21st Century project-based curriculum, student transportation/travel time and size of schools were ranked as participants' top priorities. To begin a discussion regarding possible solutions to address capacity issues, specifically at Great Valley Middle School, a series of options were presented that considered the current grade alignment, possible grade realignment and new construction. Participants talked through the options, posed questions and identified concerns related to each, and highlighted the potential benefits. At the close of the session, participants were asked to express their opinion about the options presented.
At the final workshop meeting in December, two questions were posed for discussion considering various grade configurations specific to school centers and the secondary school campus. The results of the workshop process will be instrumental as the District plans for the next five to ten years. The School Board of Directors will consider the findings of the District-wide Facility Study and Master Plan in early 2020 to identify the next planning steps for the Great Valley School District.
SCHRADERGROUP Mentors Springfield High School Students through the ACE Program
SCHRADERGROUP (SG) volunteered to mentor Springfield School District (SSD)'s Springfield High School students as well as students from other school districts through the Architecture, Construction and Engineering (ACE) Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia. The ACE Mentor Program is an after-school program structured for students to learn about careers in the construction industry directly from professionals in architecture, construction and engineering.
Jeremy Ross, Associate AIA represented SG and led the session by introducing his role as the project architect of SSD's new Springfield High School. The students were enthusiastic to learn about their school district's new 25-acre high school campus which is currently under construction. Jeremy presented an overview of the concept, design development and construction process for the new Springfield High School complex. He then answered questions and explained the relationship between architects, engineers and contractors.
SG is appreciative of the ACE program for providing the SSD Springfield High School students with this unique opportunity to see the new Springfield High School project from the architect's point-of-view.

In the last couple of weeks I've jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon of making Mason Jar Salads for my lunches (which is kind of funny considering I've only been on Pinterest a couple of times in my life). There really are SO many awesome ideas out there though, and I wanted to try to do something to increase the amount of veggies I eat in a day, and this seemed like the perfect solution!
It took me quite a bit of prep time that first Sunday because I was measuring and entering everything into MyFitnessPal as I went along, but I can tell it will be exponentially faster each subsequent time that I make them. I tried to get a good mix of carbs/fats/proteins in every salad and stay around the 400 calorie mark. I wasn't sure how the lettuce would keep, but (non-spoiler alert – you see what I did there? *grin*) my Friday salad was still fresh & delicious 5 days later. Consider me impressed!
Using different amounts of ingredients and types of salad dressings will of course change the calorie count pretty quickly on these salads, so make sure you pay attention to that if you're concerned about calories. It would be easy to make a simple olive oil and vinegar type dressing for most of these salads as well, but I decided to try to use up what was already in my fridge first. I also added chicken to most of my salads because I like chicken, but if you don't eat meat it would be simple enough to add different nuts, tofu, quinoa, etc. to increase the protein that way.
You can of course add other items to these layers – these are just some of MY favorite salad ingredients that I jotted down for quick reference. I used wide mouth quart sized mason jars that I bought at the local hardware store ($11 for a dozen of them) and that makes a really good sized salad.
Without further ado – here are the salads I made last week!
I made this using leftovers from tacos we ate on Saturday night! I basically used 1/5 of the meat/bean/taco seasoning I made + I portioned out the toppings.
I also make this combo as a side salad all the time when we make steaks for dinner – I just omit the chicken. Any apples would work, but I love how tart the honeycrisp apples are! Next time I'll probably chop my apples into bite-sized pieces so I don't have to worry about cutting them up as I'm eating at work.
I ended up eating out for lunch this day, so I ate my salad for dinner instead since it was already made and I didn't want it to go waste. Delicious!
Y ou can also pour these ingredients into a flour tortilla to make it a wrap for an extra 130 calories = 409 calories total. Most people like olives on this as well – I just can't stand them so I omitted them!
T his is my go-to easy salad that I eat at lunch because we always have the ingredients on hand. It was even easier to have it already made up though!
Since it took me awhile to get around to writing this post, I'm also going to add the new salad I tried out this 2nd week that I made while catching up on The Bachelor 🙂 I was off work on Monday and had a crazy day Tuesday, but I was determined to not fall of the wagon of making these that quickly, so I whipped up 3 identical salads for me to eat Wed-Fri this week. Quick & easy!
This was a meat-free salad that I made with 3 cheese tortellini that I bought in the refrigerated section at the grocery store. SO good!
Next week I want to try to make some salads using quinoa for the protein instead of chicken. I'll try to keep updating with new "recipes" on here as I put them together. It's amazing how full you feel on 400 calories when it's all nutritious foods!
For more details about the how and why regarding mason jar salads, check out The Ultimate Mason Jar Salad Tutorial and Recipe Roundup on Organize Yourself Skinny.
How about you guys? Have any of you made mason jar salads and have a favorite recipe you'd like to share?
WANT! Dumb question: where did you get the mason jars?
I bought them at the local hardware store. You can get them on Amazon too (that was like $18 instead of $11 for me).
I made a fresh mozzarella salad for Hottie and he loved it! I got the recipe off of the ultimate link you shared here. I added chopped up rotisserie chicken, which we like to keep on hand. It was good and he washed out the jar and used it to force down a huge helping of water. He couldn't get to the second jar this week with his travel schedule, so I'm eating it tomorrow!
Haha – I love those bagged salads too, but I also can't justify buying them unless they're on sale. Funny you like those and think these look gross!
This is awesome and totally overwhelming. I think I'm ready to MFP it up again soon, so this is something I would totally love to do, plus it would be awesome for mark to take to work. i could get him on the bandwagon for Sunday prep. 🙂 he's always saying he needs to eat better, but he never takes the time to chop and prepare his own food. Plus, if this was or lunch, we could still eat kid friendly dinners and and all eat together a little more carby or heartier at night.
Don't be overwhelmed – it's actually super easy! Most people just make one or two types per week. Especially if Mark will eat them too, you can make 10 – five of each – and it would be really quick and easy and you'll each get 2-3 days of each type of salad that week. Even while pregnant it's an easy, quick lunch if you want (though I couldn't stand salad while I was pregnant, weird).
Yeah for Mason jar salads! I've been doing them all this week too, ever since your post from last week. They're delicious! And you've inspired me to be better prepared to make some more interesting recipes, as to date I've just done dressing (balsamic or yogurt), tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese and arugula. I really want to try the taco salad and your apple one looks great, although I think I'll go goat cheese instead of blue, as I'm not a fan of blue… Thanks for bringing these to my attention. A fabulous way to get veggies and greens in!
I've been looking at doing the overnight oats, but lately I've been on a big frittata kick – usually that sweet potato / goat cheese / spinach one I linked to awhile back. So quick & easy in the morning b/c I usually make it the night before!
My fritatas are always kinda spongy… I need to work on that.
You inspired me with your picture a few days ago so I went and bought 3 mason jars (starting out realistic) and I made one Tuesday and one again today. I'm not as fancy as you – the typical ranch, chicken, cheese, and lettuce with a few raw veggies is what I made, but it was awesome! I told JJ it was nice having the extra veggies that I wouldn't normally put on a salad if I was in a rush. I even made him one for work today (with the dressing separate b/c he hates veggies – nice, huh) but he forgot it at home. Or 'forgot it.' He better take it tomorrow! 🙂 Thanks for sharing all your recipes!
Yep, I like that you can make them as fancy or simple as you want. I think I'll skip the red onion next time b/c I'm just not much of an onion fan, but overall it's pretty simple to throw a half a dozen ingredients in a jar and put the lid on. I'm loving it!
I used onion sprouts and they give a nice, gentle onion flavour without being all ONION up in your area!
These look amazing!! I can't wait to try this! I love doing food prep on weekends for the week. It makes grabbing lunch/dinner SO much easier.
Oh – I have made overnight oats also – they are SO good!!
I'm seriously obsessed with these now. I used one of the recipes you linked to from your other post and made a quinoa Mediterranean salad for this week. It's easier for me to buy in bulk and make 5 of the same than to figure out ingredients for 5 different. The quinoa one made me a little nervous b/c it actually tells you to put it on the bottom layer (which is contradictory to the general guidelines) but it turned out great – lots of flavor. Kind of dry dressing-wise though so I might need to double the dressing part next time around. I'm glad to hear you like the tortellini one – I was looking at it and thought I might try it next!
I've heard both about quinoa – okay to use on bottom, but it soaks up so much dressing can make the rest of the salad dry. I love quinoa though, so definitely trying next week – just maybe in a middle layer?
Ive wanted to try this but have been hesitant because I wasnt sure if the salad would really still be fresh days later. Im glad to hear yours was!!
Wow. I never heard of this. Good to know. I prepare salad in plastic but never thought about putting the lettuce at the top. I also keep the cherry tomatoes whole so it won't spoil.
You know, that's one of the recommendations (to leave the tomatoes whole) but i didnt and had no issues with it. I wonder if that was just beginner's luck?

Q: Why do geometries disappear after having applied ST_Union I applied ST_Union on my set of about 2000 geometries in order to get 12 distinct areas. As a result, I obtained (probably) WKB format that I'm still not able to use in order to get some interesting results.
Why?
What's the reason behind the vanishing geometries from CARTO? And why are they only obtained as WKB after exporting them to a .csv file? Why CARTO doesn't keep them so that I can visualize them simply on a map?

I have one, big table of data: https://skogenskonung.carto.com/dataset/dd1
The table depicts the results of the election in Berlin. There are, among others, geometries, Berlin's districts, number of people who voted, amount of votes each party has received etc.
What I want to do is to divide the data according to the column awk (awk are electoral districts), so that I have 73 rows (there 73 distinct awks). What is also important is that I want to have 73 geometries that depict these awk.
So I executed the following query:
SELECT ST_Union(the_geom), SUM(right_afd) AS afd, SUM(right_cdu) AS cdu, SUM(right_wahler) AS waehler
FROM dd1
GROUP BY awk

What I obtained in the column geometry seems to be empty at first. When you hover at it, it says it is a polygon. When I export the result to the .csv file I see very, very long sequence of numbers and capital letters.
When I click on "create map" out of the result of this query, it gives me: "The column 'the_geom_webmercator' doesn't exist."

A: First of all, I will recommend learning the basics of PostGIS and CARTO. There a great materials and tutorial out there. All those additional questions will be answered doing some research.
Regarding the first issue, the geometries are not being displayed because the three mandatory fields are missing: cartodb_id, the_geom (the geometry that is stored) and the_geom_webmercator (the geometry that is being displayed). So in order to fix your query, you will need to apply something like this:
with data as (
    SELECT
        max(cartodb_id) as cartodb_id,
        ST_Union(the_geom) as the_geom,
        SUM(right_afd) AS afd,
        SUM(right_cdu) AS cdu,
        SUM(right_wahler) AS waehler
    FROM
        dd1
    WHERE NOT ST_isValid(the_geom)
    GROUP BY awk)

SELECT
    *,
    st_transform(the_geom, 3857) as the_geom_webmercator
FROM
    data

Do notice that I am getting only the geometries that are valid, because it is the only* way to make this particular query work. So you will end up with something like this:

*I am sure there will be workarounds.

Happy Friday people… I am always looking forward to Fridays, and most of the time I make pasta for dinner. So how does this look to Y'all? Good, I assume!
Before I start blabbering how good this is, I just want to say that this could be made with any pasta, gluten-free or not and it is equally delicious. This gluten-free one is the best that I tasted, so far. My palate is still adjusting because let's be honest here, pasta is the best when it's made with regular flour, BUT, I won't lie, this brand is not half bad if you follow instructions and of course give it a chance. I tried several different kinds of pasta from Tinkyada brand and all are really good. As for my Alfredo sauce, it's DE-licious. I enjoy the taste of shrimps and the creamy sauce with al-dente spaghetti… mmm… It's like ultimate comfort food right there, and I am 100% certain that you'll love it as well.
Now the thing is peeps, after experimenting for a few weeks on myself, even though it is still early to tell, but when I eat my bread, or pasta or anything with gluten I cannot keep my eyes open, it knocks me out. I also get a slight headache, belly bloating and I am pretty moody. I increased fresh fruits and veggies that are good for thyroid hormone, as well as low-fat dairy products (cheese, milk, etc.), ditching gluten completely and including more protein (fish, eggs, etc.), I work-out more than I did 2 months ago, like I said before from 3-4 days a week, I am now to 6 days a week (power walk, indoor bike, 10-15 lbs. Weights, etc.).
Even my kids are pretty supportive of this sudden change of my diet, however, I still make bread every single day, I still make regular balanced meals that of course healthy people, like my family should eat.
My advice is to always READ Labels, and get as much as information as possible if you feel like your body is screaming at you and you are not feeling your normal self. I was moody-emotional, almost depressed, most of the time I was cold, I was bloated, gaining weight despite not over-eating, eating pretty healthy and balanced meals and exercising regularly. I was either too tired and slept throughout the day, or insomnia hits me and I cannot sleep at all– sometimes I'd go with 3-4 hours of sleep a night and function normally like I slept 8hrs. All that was not normal, it just wasn't me… And turns out that I was right, I wasn't crazy after all! You just have to listen to your body and know when something is going downhill.
Now gluten won't kill me, but if it's making me better in any way, I will avoid it… That brings me to one more point, this BLOG will not be gluten FREE…I will still continue to post regular meal, however, I'll explore this new world and life without gluten for myself, and perhaps post every once in a while something that was really tasty like this pasta.
Since Shrimps are high in cholesterol please omit or eat in moderation. Like I said you can use chicken, which has almost half of the cholesterol that Shrimps do, or simply omit all-together and use Broccoli, that you previously blanched. Broccoli is not the best option for people with Thyroid issues, however, if you cook it, it should be ok.
1 Tbsp. Olive oil/ Butter works fine too.
Dry herbs of your choice basil, mint, oregano etc.
Cook pasta according to the pack. Add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water.
In a medium saucepan, add oil and garlic, saute for a few minutes on a medium high temp. (Do not burn). Pour in Chicken Stock, heavy whipped cream or half and a half and stir until it starts to bubble. Add Parmesan cheese, and the rest of the ingredients for the sauce (excluding thickening agent-cornstarch or rice flour). Add SALT to taste. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. In the cup, add a splash of water and mix cornstarch or rice flour until smooth--this will prevent lumps and it is like a Roux. Add to the sauce, stir until thick. Cover and set aside.
In the saute pan, add oil and drop the shrimps in that are clean and deveined -- if the shrimps are frozen, defrost. Let it cook until they are pink--few minutes on each side. Season with a pinch of salt and a generous squeeze of lemon -about 2 teaspoons. Once done, transfer cooked shrimps on a clean plate and set aside.
In the same saute pan, add assorted peppers and onion. Saute for about 5 minutes --it needs to be soft, but still with a bit of crunch. If it's frozen, you don't need to defrost, just look closely so it doesn't burn, trying to separate peppers and onion.
Once the peppers are almost done, add shrimp and stir. Turn the heat on medium-high, then add Alfredo sauce, stir. Last, add pasta to the sauce and shrimps and with kitchen tongs. Serve immediately.
If you don't like shrimps, you can do the same with the chicken breast. I recommend to cut it either into cubes or thin bite-size strips before cooking. If you don't want to make Alfredo sauce, you can certainly use store bought, (read labels for those that are on a gluten-free diet). Use Any pasta that you like!!!
This is not a sponsored post. I like Tinkyada pasta and this is my opinion.

On Saturday 2nd February, UC5 and SFC pupils had the privilege of listening to a talk by Sir John Gurdon, a pioneer in the field of developmental biology and Nobel Prize winner for his work in stem cell research.
Sir John's talk centred around how ordinary skin cells could be reprogrammed into specialised cells, such as those existing in the heart, and how this carries enormous implications for the future of transplantation and treatment of long-term illnesses. For example, macular (eye) degeneration, a common affliction affecting the elderly, could be halted by replacing damaged eye cells with new ones created using stem cells, providing greater quality of life. Sir John also explored the challenges facing scientists in this field, such as cells retaining 'gene memory' which creates a barrier to reprogramming.
Sir John went on to speak about gene editing tools such as CRISPR, which allow scientists to remove or replace genes, but which also raise significant ethical dilemmas for the scientific community. For instance, while some illnesses such as Hunter Syndrome could be eliminated using gene editing, the same tools could be used to decide the gender or eye colour of an unborn foetus. Gene editing on this scale could also have wider implications, for example insurance companies may exploit the opportunity to reduce coverage for those with 'risky' genes. Thus, Sir John called ethics 'the great uncertainty of the future', with respect to how it may limit our ability to take advantage of life-changing treatments.
Questions from students were wide-ranging. For instance, Sir John was asked whether stem cell research could benefit those suffering from memory-related illnesses such as Alzheimer's, allowing us to further explore the use of stem cells in all areas of medical research.
Overall, the opportunity of listening to an expert at the forefront of his field was incredibly inspirational, especially given that he was encouraged not to take up science as a career while at secondary school!

After School Choice Week, How About Educate the Reporters Week?
Education Policy Center
Last Friday I was overflowing with enthusiasm at the kickoff of the 5th annual National School Choice Week.
I got even more excited Monday morning for the big Denver celebration at our own State Capitol, where hundreds of school kids and others came to wear their yellow scarves, show their support. There was even some singing and dancing!
I may get even more excited yet when my Independence Institute friends assemble and edit their footage of the rally for a sure-to-be-great video. Stay tuned for that!
In the meantime, besides the fun of seeing National School Choice Week celebrations grow here in Colorado and nationwide, my big takeaway is the desperate need to educate the media. As a kid who spends too much hanging out in the education policy world, the Fox 31 News story on the School Choice Week rally was painful to watch.
Maybe the problem is the term "school choice" can be used in different contexts. But when you see a news story interchange the general idea of school choice with Denver's "School Choice" enrollment system and the state education department's school choice support unit, and suggest that open enrollment allows families to access private schools, you begin to wonder if the confused protesters at the event wrote and produced the news story.
Because the much smaller band of protesters (confused about what they were actually protesting) got an extra share of attention, along with their unsubstantiated rhetoric and arguments. As if they were drinking from the same barrel of Kool-Aid that generates not just inaccurate coverage but also far-fetched bizarre conspiracy theories.
Sigh. Good thing neither of these stories tried to unpack an intriguing new proposal put forward by State Rep. Paul Lundeen that goes beyond "school choice" with an "education debit card." (Faithful readers have seen me tackle the topic before.)
In other local school choice news today, innovative Falcon 49 school district is a regional leader in attracting families through open enrollment, and according to one prominent source, Colorado slipped from #5 to #6 nationally in the quality of its charter school law.
Once School Choice Week ends and my excitement begins to wane, maybe I will start focusing my attention on Educate the Reporters Week.

Q: Are there any default compilation symbols defined, like NET40 or NET20 or something? I'm curious if there's "default conditional compilation symbols" that are basically automatically defined by the C# compiler.  For instance, the compiler framework version, or anything.
I did a cursory check and did not see any defaults.

A: In project build options You can enable DEBUG and TRACE constants (DEBUG is enabled/disabled based on Active Configuration by default). As far as I know, those are only default constants.

A: From this question that asked about a similar issue but asked the question in a different way

There aren't any built in, but you can supply your own.

moon landings - NASA - tunnels on the moon - alien technology
Why the Apollo program stopped? Tunnels, caves and glass domes on the moon
The moon is full of tunnels domes and caves. (Further you will remark that we will mostly only use the word 'tunnel' while we also mean the domes and caves. It is not such a big deal.)
Tunnels -some are immense- could be a perfect moonbase. Also for our ancient creators they could have been a perfect base. And we are almost sure the moon landings revealed many moon tunnels that once have been used as bases by our creators. Nasa knew where some tunnels were situated. Besides its relatively easy to find a tunnel. Temperature above such a tunnel betrays its existence. Further, old pictures sometimes reveal some irregularities on the moon's surface that point to collapsed parts of lava tunnels. So the not collapsed parts still must be intact. Also with radio waves tunnels on the moon are detectable ...
The Apollo program used radio waves. We are relatively sure the technical means were far more advanced in 1969 than many people believe.
Update 2017: Lava tunnel discovered by Japan. We mean such tunnels were known by NASA in 1969.
Are there glass domes on the moon?
During the 1960s the domed city concept was widely discussed outside the confines of science fiction.
We believe those domes exist already for a long time ... on the moon. Constructed by our creators.
Now our geniuses even talk (again after 50 years) about building those glass domes. Nanotechnology will be used to produce flexible glass to protect them from a lot of dangers (for instance dangerous rays from the sun).
Richard Hoagland may be exaggerating, but some things of what he says makes sense ... if you believe in the ancient aliens theory.
By the way, Hoagland is not the only one who believes in glass domes on the moon. He's a lunatic according to many, but the man has an admirable perseverance -or is a stubborn die hard- (depending the angle you are looking at him). Admittedly, the sites we are referring to are not scientific. But we can safely assume real scientists never would come forward saying: there are probably glass domes on the moon. Their reputation would be burned to the ground.
Only don't hope that a disclosure about for example the existence of underground tunnels and bases on the moon is just around the corner. That would be naive. NASA wants us to discuss about the moon or Mars and the pictures they are publishing. A yes/no discussion is something that fits in their strategy to spread contradictions. And it certainly makes it possible to postpone a disclosure.
Yes we think our real rulers know about structures on the moon and maybe on Mars or even another planet in our solar system. We think they know about it, because our creators planned it that way. Hidden knowledge on Earth they coded, so only selected people (some of the smartest) would find it. And to be able to reach the moon, you must be a genius. In the moon landings' case geniuses were surrounded or employed by smart people. People who would make the link between extraterrestrial knowledge and the dangers this knowledge includes to Earth's population if it falls in the wrong hands. Our creators would have been stupid' not to have left our rulers everything they need to know, because their creation (human beings) would destroy themselves in no time if 'bad and ignorant people' would lay their hands on extraterrestrial knowledge.
It's true, egocentrism and the lust for power are almost almighty, but we think that in a group of smart people (our real leaders) the best solution will prevail. Besides, if things would go in the wrong direction we count on our real leaders to neutralize those evil forces ...
[We believe the 'let it happen' attitude of the production of nuclear bombs by several independent countries is a mistake our creators already made in the past. Our real leaders again did let it happen. (Maybe they had no other choice because of several possible reasons we are not going to discuss.) So, strange enough, we, at this moment, are once again in the same position our creators must have been at a certain time in the past. The possession of nuclear weapons has to be monopolized by a global authority that acts completely independent. An authority that has unconditional access to all nuclear facilities everywhere in the world and that has the power to destroy -if all other measures fail- those facilities. War and even the destruction of a nation could be the horrible consequence, but keep in mind that we are talking about the future of humanity.
By the way: If nuclear means are intended for peaceful use this authority could deliver everything necessary to each country.
But it must been said, we are not out of the woods yet, and maybe there is a far better and more peaceful solution than we can think of ... We hope so ...]


Sean Gelael is remaining in the FIA European Formula 3 Championship for a second consecutive season, but has swapped Double R Racing for Jagonya Ayam with Carlin. The 17-year-old Indonesian driver had a relatively disappointing 2013 and failed to score a point, but will hope 2014 is better.
He spoke on the official European F3 website about how he describes himself, how he prepares for each race weekend and revealed other various other snippets of information about himself.
He admits his favourite circuit is Silverstone, a track where he has great memories of securing his first Formula 3 podium in British Formula 3 last year for Double R. He also had a message for his loyal fans.


Financing church construction is, for some churches, a very easy task while for others it is a source of never-ending frustration. We could expound on some of the factors that might place your church in one group or the other later, but let's instead review the three major methods of funding church construction, along with their benefits and drawbacks.
The three major methods of funding (in part or in whole) church construction are conventional lending, bond offerings and capital stewardship campaigns.
A conventional loan is one where you will go to a direct lender or broker and get a construction loan based on the future value of the facilities you are going to build, using your assets as collateral. In a conventional loan, you are essentially borrowing all the money from one lender. Construction loans usually can be easily converted into mortgages at the end of construction. Many lenders will allow you to do this without a separate closing at the time the loan converts.
A bond is a (generally) public offering for many people to "loan" you money by purchasing bonds. Your church would deal with a bond company who specializes in putting together and promoting the offering and as they sell the bonds, the money becomes available to your church.
For both conventional loans and bond offerings, the amount of money that you can borrow is going to be limited by your current income and cash flow. One of the common financial rules of thumbs is that the church can only afford to borrow (read "will only be able to borrow") between 3 and 4 times their current earnings. If the total church income for the year is $150,000, your borrowing capacity is probably only $450,000 to a maximum $600,000. Other factors that can affect your borrowing capacity are cash flow and equity. Regardless of bond or loan, the lenders are going to need to be able to see how you will make the payment from your current cash flow.
It is one thing to get a loan, it is quite another to retire it. With very rare exceptions, shame on the church that takes 20 years to retire a loan! Most churches should have a workable plan to retire their debt in 7 years. Interest is money that the church gives to the world to foster the world's economy. That money should stay in the Kingdom to finance Kingdom work. This brings us to our third form of financing, Capital Stewardship.
A capital stewardship campaign will typically raise between 1.5x and 3x your church's current total income, over a 3-year campaign period. Over the past several decades, thousands of churches have executed professionally facilitated campaigns. The result is a large statistical universe from which we learn that the majority of these churches raise the 1.5 to 3 times their current income: an analysis that mirrors my own experience in working with churches. There are 3 ways that a capital campaign can help fund a building program. Some churches may desire to avoid debt and to save up for construction. Others may opt to augment their borrowing capacity with additional funds from a stewardship campaign. Lastly, many will choose the middle road of using a capital stewardship campaign to pay off their debt as quickly as possible. This third method is the most prevalent.
The difference of an unsafe personal give over a standard give is that it does not order the borrower to submit collateral. The confirmatory used for loans crapper be one's bag title, car, land, boat, playing equipment, fund account, and whatever some another touchable processions. In most cases, the borrower submits his own bag title as a section for the loan. With an unsafe loan, a borrower crapper hit the peace of mind of not swing his bag on the distinction to answer for his debts. Whatever happens, you module not retrograde your families bag meet because you failed to submit your give payments on time. Nevertheless, effort an unsafe personal give is of times more difficult than Secured Loans. Since the pledges does not obligation any collateral, an excellent assign rating with secured loans. For this reason, whatever is grouping module fail to qualify for secured loans? If you hit beatific assign and you are in need of a loan, then you should hit no problem effort your secured give approved. Do secured loans come with high interest rates? Because of the risks involved, lenders substance Secured Loans of times charge slightly higher rates than secured give lenders. However, if you prefer a give that does not order any confirmatory on your part, then a secured loans is your prizewinning choice. If you do research well, it is possible to find secured loans lenders that offer rattling reasonable rates. Once approved, borrower crappers usually receive the give money in as lowercase as 72 hours or even less, depending on the lending company. Repayment periods module varies from digit pledge to another. Generally, the repayment terms for secured loans are 5 to 10 years. However, secured loans are 100% supported on your assign history and May exclusive be limited to a smaller turn of cash when compared to secured loans. It all depends on your credit. For instance if two borrowers with assign scores of 680 applied for Secured Loans, and digit has had large secured assign lines in the past, while the another has beatific assign but its limited to small secured amounts, the borrower with the large give amounts module be approved for more money, even thought they hit the same assign score.
In whatever cases, the court crapper present your pledge the correct pay property you own to get their money if you hit been found blamable of abandoning your commercialism responsibilities. To refrain any complications, it is prizewinning to verify your repayment obligations seriously and stick with what is agreed upon on your give contract.
Even with poor credit, your options for getting a home equity loan are numerous. Home equity loans are different from other types of personal loans. For starters, these loans are secured. Lenders prefer this factor because it's easy for them to recoup their money if the loan defaults.
When applying for a loan using your home's equity as collateral, there are several options. Homeowners with poor credit may take advantage of a home equity line of credit. Similar to credit card cash advances, homeowners are approved for a line of credit up to a dollar amount not to exceed their home's equity. Homeowners are free to withdraw funds as needed. The money can be used to payoff debts, repair an automobile, or make home improvements.
On the other hand, a home equity loan is disbursed as a lump sum of cash. Similarly, the funds may be used for large expenses or major home repairs. Both home equity options must be repaid. Home equity loans have fixed terms, whereas home equity lines of credit are available for a specific length of time.
A home equity loan and line of credit are beneficial because they provide extra cash when you need it. Furthermore, if you have bad credit, maintaining regular payments will boost your credit score. If the funds are used to consolidate debt, homeowners can get on the road toward becoming debt free and boosting their credit score. In fact, many people obtain a home equity loan as a means of improving their credit rating.
The pitfall most common of home equity loans is the inability to repay the money. Sadly, some people cannot handle credit or money responsibly. Thus, once debts are consolidated or paid off, some people accumulate additional debts. The smart maneuver would be to close paid accounts, which would alleviate the temptation to use a credit card.
After incurring additional debts, some people are powerless to continue regular payments. If you acquire a home equity loan, there are multiple liens against your house. Consequently, either lender may foreclose. By defaulting on either loan, you risk losing your home.
When choosing a mortgage lender, do not rely on your current lender to offer the best rates. Getting a quote from your lender is ideal; however, you should also request quotes from new lenders. Banks or credit unions will not offer the lowest rates to persons with poor credit. Nevertheless, you can attain comparable loan rates by using a lender that specializes in bad credit loans. Sub prime lenders have convenient online applications and instant approvals. If using a mortgage broker, you will receive several sub prime loan offers within seconds.
The term business seems so simple. But, do you know how much efforts are required to start and establish a business. A well-established business showcases the hardship, dedication and capital investment made by an entrepreneur. Are you one of them who want to rule the world and are tired of the orders of your boss? If yes, then it's great; most of us want the same. But, whenever you evaluate the investment needed, it made you back out from the business plan. No need to despair any long; now you can borrow a secured business loan to secure your business dream.
Business loan come in two main forms – secured business loan and unsecured business loan. Now, you would think why I suggested you secured loan despite of other loan alternatives available. There is a strong reason behind it, I am here to suggest you the best option and that's what I did. A secured business loan requires a borrower to put collateral against the loan borrowed. Collateral, which a borrower needs to keep, can be in the form of a house, car, savings account or any other property owned by the borrower.


The occurrence of a car accident could cause a cascade of bad situations. This simply proves that security has to be on top of the list of your priorities. The first thing that you should do after the accident takes place is to examine yourself and those in your automobile for injuries. You should also check out other individuals who are involved in the accident if at all possible. Be sure that anyone that may have injuries moves as little as probable, and minimize your movement.
If it is not going to compromise your safety further, then leave your vehicle in the right position of the incident. Then again, if the car is found in a really dangerous area that may aggravate the situation further, then it's best to move it to a much safer place. Note down every crucial details before anything is moved, but if you have any device that can take images, then photograph the scene.
The initial step should always be to call the police. It is essential to report the incident mainly because failure to do so will put you in a very sticky scenario. It is a much better idea to get a report that is written up by a law enforcement officer stating the important pieces of information. The information of the motorist is included in the accident report with regard to the parties involved. This will include the name of the driver, driver's license number, contact details, insurance provider, and policy number. See to it that all these particulars are listed because they are extremely important. The details of the incident are very important that is why you have to accumulate them yourself if ever the officer failed to give you a duplicate of the report. The color, the plate numbers, the model, the manufacturer and the plate numbers of the automobiles involved should also be collected.
If you get involved in a car accident, it is advisable to contact your insurance provider. Aside from gathering the related information about the incident, the car insurance agency will also work as a mediator between you and other parties involved in the accident. It is also a great idea to call a qualified attorney in order to have someone who is well schooled in all of the rules and regulations that follow a personal injury law suit. The chances of acquiring a favorable negotiation are higher if you are directed by seasoned lawyer. They will be able to teach you and guide you through the process in order to be sure that you will be able to get all of information that you'll want in order to be able to successfully proceed with your law suit.


About 1 mile from my parents house, when I was still very young, there was an old lady who sold porridge every morning. She had three type of porridges. I love three of them. I would bought it for to go or sometime I spent my breakfast time there at her small kiosk.
I left my parents house when I went to High School and since then I didn't really have chance to eat that grandma's porridge anymore.
At least, until now, I still can enjoy this porridge. This is one type of porridge that I usually bought from that grandma. And I am glad that I can learn how to make it my self and it is quite simple.
So now, I would love to share with you the recipe and hope you will like it too. I believe some of you who grew up in Indonesia knows this porridge. We call it BUBUR SUMSUM.
