The cost of a college education has been increasing at an alarming rate over the past two decades. College tuition has risen 8% each year since the early 1980s and the average debt of a graduate of a four year university was $25,250 in 2010. These numbers are staggering and may be some students are deciding to attend community colleges for a much cheaper price while still receiving a quality education.
If you look at the numbers, the tuition and fees for four year public and private universities are $8,244 and $28,500 per year respectively. In comparison, community colleges average $2,963 per year in tuition. If you also take into account the fact that most community college students stay home with their parents then the savings are tremendous.
Many states are very generous when it comes to awarding these students with financial aid. In the state of Florida students who have a 3.0 GPA and 990 on the math and critical reading section of the SAT will have 100% of their tuition covered at any two year public institution.
Students at these two year institutions also have the ability to transfer after they receive their associates of arts degree to a four year university and graduate with a bachelor's degree. Also, in USA there are a lot of possibilities of earning extra money by working at part-time jobs, etc.
Community colleges offer so many advantages to students that it seems strange that more students do not decide to attend them. Personally, I believe that this stems from the stigma that students receive who decide to attend these institutions. When I was a senior in high school, students who decided to attend community college were seen as academically inferior. They were told that they should go to a four year university even if they had to take out student loans because they would learn more or their degree would hold more value. They were also told that they would miss out on the college experience if they commuted from home.
In my opinion it is not worth it to pay thousands of dollars to party or receive a bachelor's degree that you would have gotten anyway if you transferred with your associates of arts degree from a community college. Ignore the stigma and save as much money as you can while receiving your bachelor's degree. I can assure you that you will have the last laugh when your classmates that looked down on you have four times as much debt as you do.

Чудо у Милану  () је италијански фантастични филм из 1951. редитеља Виторија Де Сике. У филму глуме Франческо Голисано, Ема Граматика, Паоло Стопа и Гуљелмо Барнабо.

Филм, испричан као неореалистичка бајка, објашњава животе групе погођене сиромаштвом у послератном Милану, Италија.

Опис филму
Ова фантастична прича говори о Тотоу кога је, пронађеног као беба у купусном пољу, усвојила Лолота, мудра и љубазна старица. Када Лолота умре, сели се у сиротиште. У одраслом добу Тото (Франческо Голисано) напушта сиротиште и завршава у колонији сквотера на периферији Милана.

Тотоове организационе способности, научене у сиротишту, и његова једноставна љубазност и оптимистичан поглед стечени од Лолоте доносе структуру колонији. Он негује осећај среће и благостања међу обесправљенима који тамо живе.

Долазе бизнисмени и ценкају се око власништва над земљом, али сквотери остају сами да тамо живе.

Нафта је откривена испод колоније када праве рупу за мајски стуб током фестивала. Формира чесму у средини логора и у почетку се сматра да је вода.

Власник земље Моби чује за нафту од сплеткарског сквотера, Рапија, и покушава да истера сквотере користећи војску полиције.

Током ове кризе дух Лолоте даје Тотоу чаробног голуба и он користи његове моћи да испуни жеље онима који траже. Камп поприма надреални изглед јер се свака тајна жеља испуњава.

На крају голубицу враћају два анђела који приговарају смртнику који користи његове магичне моћи.

Без заштите голубице логор је преплављена од стране полиције, а његови становници одведени у полицијским вагонима да буду затворени.

Тотова драга, Едвиг га замењује обичним голубом и предаје му га кроз решетке полицијског вагона испред миланске катедрале.

Тото користи голубицу да пожели слободу својих пријатеља и због његове добре вере јој се она даје. Полицијска кола се распадају, а сквотери одлете на метли заплењеним од чистача на централном тргу у Милану.

Они круже око Катедрале, а затим се удаљавају, "према земљи у којој " добро јутро заиста значи добро јутро ".

Продукција
Главна локација филма била је пустош, у близини миланске железничке станице Ламбрате.

Виторио Де Сика је написао да је снимио филм како би показао како "обичан човек" може да постоји с обзиром на реалност живота: "Истина је да је мој народ већ постигао срећу на свој начин; управо зато што је сиромашан, ови људи и даље осећају – као што већина обичних људи можда више не осећа – живу топлину зрака зимског сунца, једноставну поезију ветра. Они поздрављају воду са истом чистом радошћу као и свети Фрања."

Миланска катедрала служи као централна локација у филму, а може се посматрати и као симбол чуда на које се наслов филма односи.

За филм је ангажован амерички специјалиста за специјалне ефекте Нед Ман. Филм би била Манов коначни пројекат.  Виторио Де Сика, на неореалистички начин, користио је и професионалне и непрофесионалне глумце.

Пријем

Критички одговор
Филм је премијерно приказан у Италији 8. фебруара 1951. године. Касније је представљен на Канском филмском фестивалу у априлу 1951. У Сједињеним Државама је широм отворен 17. децембра 1951. године.

Босли Кровтер, филмски критичар за Њујорк тајмс, допао је филм и написао је: "Богата жила лукавог, саосећајног хумора коју су Чарли Чаплин и Рене Клер користили са неупоредивом генијалношћу када су снимали своје најбоље сатиричне филмове, била је коју је прислушкивао Виторио Де Сика у свом Чуду у Милану, надалеко прокламованој италијанској слици која је јуче стигла у свет. И иако је ова необична жила маште далеко од Де Сикине претходне линије, велики редитељ је из свог копања изнео либерални повратак најчистијег злата." Филм је заузео 3. место на листи 10 најбољих филмова године 1951.

Особље часописа Вариети дало је позитивну рецензију филму и написало: "Оштра сатира о индустријалцу похлепном за нафтом обрађена је на шири, можда преувеличан начин, а слика је обилно посута интелигентним хумором, углавном ироничним. Наступи професионалаца и тироса су беспрекорни."

Веб сајт за рецензије Rotten Tomatoes извештава да филм има ретку оцену 100% "Свеже" . У априлу 2019. године, рестаурирана верзија филма је изабрана да буде приказана у секцији Кански класици на Филмском фестивалу у Кану 2019.

Q: Unable to clear footer from Google Document When I run the code below, I receive a TypeError:

TypeError: Cannot call method "clear" of null. (line 3, file "Code")

from the line: footer.clear()
function insertFooterDate() {
  var footer = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getFooter();
  footer.clear();  // Line 3 - gets the footer & clears all data in footer.

  //Get date
  var date = new Date();
  var month = date.getMonth()+1;
  var day = date.getDate();
  var year = date.getFullYear();
  var hour = date.getHours()+1;
  var minute = date.getMinutes()+1;
  var filename = doc.getName();

  footer.appendParagraph(day + '/' + month + '/' + year + ' ' + filename);
  //adds date to footer with filename
}

Why do I get this error when my code executes?

A: If there is no footer in a Google Docs file, you cannot call methods on that which does not exist. The Apps Script Document Service provides a method to add a footer, so you should make the decision to either abort your methods that require a footer if there is not one already, or create one. The decision will depend on what your methods are supposed to do.
function doStuffWithFooter_(myGDoc) {
  if (!myGDoc) return;
  const footer = myGDoc.getFooter();
  if (!footer) {
    console.warn("Document '" + myGDoc.getId() + "' had no footer.");
    return;
  }
  ... // code that should only run if the doc already had a footer
}

function addDateToFooter_(myGDoc) {
  if (!myGDoc) return;
  var footer = myGDoc.getFooter();
  if (!footer) {
    // no footer, so create one.
    footer = myGDoc.addFooter();
    console.log("Created footer for document '" + myGDoc.getId() + "'.");
  }
  ... // do stuff with footer, because we made sure one exists.

URGENT ACTION GROWING FEARS FOR HUNGER STRIKER IN IRAN Student activist, Arash Sadeghi, has been on hunger strike since 1 June to protest against his ill-treatment in Tehran's Evin Prison. He has been held without charge and in solitary confinement since his arrest in January 2012. He is at risk of torture or other ill- treatment and may be in need of urgent medical care. Arash Sadeghi, 26, a student activist banned from pursuing his university education and member of Mir Hossein Mousavi's student team during the 2009 presidential campaign, was last arrested on 15 January 2012 and has been held in solitary confinement in Section 209 of Tehran's Evin Prison since. During this period Arash Sadeghi has been permitted only two family visits with his grandfather. He has had no access to a lawyer and, despite repeated requests, his father has been unable to visit him or obtain information about his health from prison officials. His father has been intimidated and harassed by Ministry of Intelligence officials and warned against speaking to the media about his son.
Arash Sadeghi was arrested a number of times for participating in the demonstrations that followed the disputed presidential election in 2009. On 4 April 2010, Judge Pir-Abbas in Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court sentenced him to 74 lashes and six years in prison after convicting him of the vaguely-worded national security charges of "gathering and colluding against state security" and "spreading propaganda against the system". He was acquitted on appeal of the latter charge and his sentence reduced to one year imprisonment and four-years suspended sentence for the former. Arash Sadeghi's current detention is unrelated to his previous case but it is believed that he is being held under suspicion of "gathering and colluding against state security", although he has not been formally charged. No further details are known and the case is said to be "under investigation", meaning that he cannot have access to legal representation.
Please write immediately in English, Arabic, Persian or your own language:  Calling on the Iranian authorities to release Arash Sadeghi immediately and unconditionally if he is being detained solely for exercising his rights to freedom of expression and assembly;  Urging them to protect Arash Sadeghi from torture or other ill-treatment and to provide him with all necessary medical care, and ensure he is treated humanely, and not punished in any way for his hunger strike;  Urging them to ensure that he is removed from solitary confinement and allowed family visits and access to a lawyer of his choosing.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Arash Sadeghi was first arrested on 9 July 2009 in the aftermath of the disputed presidential election. He had been a postgraduate student of Philosophy at Allameh Tabatabai University until he was banned from continuing his studies. He was held for 53 days in Section 2A of Tehran's Evin Prison, which is under the control of the Revolutionary Guards, before being released on bail on 31 August 2009. During his detention, he was barred from making any telephone calls and his family were given no information about him. He was arrested again on 27 December 2009 and detained for 15 days until he was released in January 2010 after securing a bail of $96,000 [USD].
In November 2010, security forces looking to arrest Arash Sadeghi again broke a window and gained entry to his home in the middle of the night. Arash Sadeghi, who had been spending the night at his grandmother's home, later said in an interview that his mother suffered a heart attack when the security forces broke in. She died four days later in hospital.
Between January 2010 and January 2012, it is believed that Arash Sadeghi was arrested on a number of other occasions and released again on bail. He was last arrested on 15 January 2012 and transferred straight to solitary confinement in Section 209 of Tehran's Evin Prison, where he is thought to have been held ever since.
During an interview in November 2010 with Rooz Online News Agency, Arash Sadeghi recounted the torture and other ill- treatment he endured in prison. He said he was hung from the ceiling by one leg and left hanging for up to five hours at a time; he was beaten so severely that his shoulder was dislocated twice and his teeth were broken; he was forced to lick a soiled toilet bowl; his interrogators urinated on his face and in his mouth; he was banned from bathing; and he was slapped for several hours, resulting in the tearing of his ear drum. He said he was kicked and punched in the face while blindfolded, causing damage to his eyes and resulting in temporary loss of vision. He stated his interrogators at Evin Prison talked of charging him with "moharebeh" (enmity against God) and told him to "confess" in front of a film camera' to having connections with the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) and with friends outside of Iran. When he refused, his interrogators threatened to arrest his mother and ensure that his father loses his military job. Arash Sadeghi's father, Hossein Sadeghi, who works in the Iranian army, has since been frequently summoned by the intelligence officials who have threatened him with redundancy and eviction from his home which is owned by the state.
In his report to the 67th session of the UN General Assembly, Ahmed Shaheed, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran documented cases of long periods of solitary confinement without charge or access to legal counsel and physical and psychological torture during interrogations. The Special Rapporteur concluded that "these violations are products of legal incongruities, insufficient adherence to the rule of law, and the existence of widespread impunity." Under Article 38 of the Iranian Constitution and Article 9 of the Law on Respect for Legitimate Freedoms and Safeguarding Citizens' Rights, all forms of torture for the purpose of obtaining "confessions" are prohibited. Iran's Penal Code also provides for the punishment of officials who torture citizens in order to obtain "confessions". Moreover, in November 2011, the UN Human Rights Committee, which oversees implementation of the ICCPR, expressed concern about the average length of pre-trial detention periods in Iran in its Concluding Observations. The Committee stated that the Iranian authorities should "ensure that pre-trial detention is not excessively long in law and in practice, particularly through independent judicial supervision and prompt access to lawyers".


You were speaking with me on FB.
I guess the first question now is do you have any experience with Source?
Other than that what programs are you using?
Beyond that I will get one of our modelers to speak with you as they will have better specific questions.
Don't be concerned if it takes time to get a response from us, we are all in different time-zones.
I'm one of the artists on the mod that works with the animation system.
From your reel I see huge potential! I can tell from it that you have the majority of technical experience we would be looking for in a character animator. If you have experience with Source that would be great but if not it isn't too hard to learn for someone already with animation skills.
Sorry for the delay on this, we were very preoccupied preparations before and fallout after release but now things are settled we're now ready to start your trial process.
You now have access to the Trial Members ssection of the forums, please start a thread on that board to confirm you're ready to start your trial and you'll be given a briefing and outline of what we'd like to see and cover how the trial process is going to work.
Best of luck on your trial, GioGio!


A couple of reports of early season fishing action heating up in Port Renfrew.
For salmon, one report had a lucky angler hooking 18 spring salmon, 15-25 pounds off the rockpile at Logan Creek.
And Des from Vicious Fishing Charters caught a 107 pound halibut. Way to go!
Looks like it is game on for fishing in Port Renfrew once again!
The photo is from Choice Fishing Charters in summer 2009 … Darrell showing off his big chinook salmon.
Spring is springing on the south-west coast of Vancouver Island. Still no solid fishing reports out of Port Renfrew, but there's some signs of life.
Trevor from No Bananas Fishing Charters passes on a rumour of some Port Renfrew locals catching some very early season spring salmon off Camper Creek … limits of high teens to low twenties fish. So the season may be starting sooner than you think!
Early season weather is always iffy, with some winter-style storms still marching through. So if you do head out there for some fishing, make sure you check the weather reports carefully. Safety first!
The photo is of a little bonsai tree perched in Fairy Lake, partway between Port Renfrew and Cowichan Lake.

Sitting Here is a stamp set that I showed quite some time ago, but as part of the Pink Stamper Design Team, I had the opportunity recently to work with it again. It was so fun to pull it out and see what else I could do to make my projects a little different than I did last time.
I had a lot of fun making this shadow box. I have wanted to do a sampler for quite some time, but felt a bit daunted with the task. I knew that I wanted to attempt one while I was still on the design team too, so decided this would be the stamp set I would do it with. I hope you like it. Because the shadow box I placed it in, is quite deep, I knew I wanted to add some dimension to my project. I stamped and cut out multiples of the same image and layering it with Stampin' Dimensionals gave it that depth I was hoping for. I also allowed my swing to actually be a real swing as the center focal point. I added some of the new Nature's Twine as my swing ropes. And, my swing actually swings back and forth. (Not that it needs to!). I once again used the Garden Impressions designer series papers for this project because they really are the perfect paper for this stamp set.
I plan on gifting this to a friend that will be retiring next week. I am going to miss her a lot at work and hope that when she looks at this, she will remember me Kindly.
I have some more projects to share from this stamp set and will post them later this week. Please come back to visit!

Q: Not enought argument for format string print ("He's got %s eyes and %s hair.\n\
        His teeth are usually %s depending on the coffe.\n\
        if I add %d, %d, and %d I get %d." % (
          my_eyes, my_hair, my_age, my_teeth,
          my_height, my_weight, my_age + my_height + my_weight))

Error: Not enough argument for format string

A: This templating system is very old. You have to keep tracking types of variables. It's very uncomfortable.
In your code you have third insertion %s which associates with variable my_age, which probably not string variable as %s expects.
If you swap my_age, my_teeth to my_teeth, my_age you will get what you expect.
May I suggest you new .format templating system?
template = ("He's got {} eyes and {} hair.\n"
            "His teeth are usually {} depending on the coffe.\n"
            "if I add {}, {}, and {} I get {}.")
values = (my_eyes, my_hair, my_teeth, my_age,
          my_height, my_weight, my_age + my_height + my_weight)
print(template.format(*values))


What is the difference between がむしゃらに and 前のめりに?
I saw both in different lyrics. Dictionary seems to suggest a very similar meaning. Are they the same?
がむしゃらに seems to do something without thinking a result. 前のめりに seems to do something with hurry up.
がむしゃらに seems to do something without thinking a result.
前のめりに seems to do something with hurry up.

NPC reviews draft law on food waste, banning popular eating show
A female anchor of celebrity beauty in short video platform Douyin shares the delicious food with netizens while eating crayfish on June 6. The booming night market of Shanghai nightlife festival promoted the economy of eating show. Photo: IC
China's top legislature on Tuesday reviewed draft legislation against food waste in Beijing, which would ban popular eating shows and require governments above the county level to establish food banks.
It is the first time the draft was reviewed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) after the proposed legislation was announced in August. The legislation is a crucial move as food waste tops 35 billion kilograms annually in China and about 12 percent of the nation's harvests go to waste along the entire production chain, China Central Television (CCTV) reported.
Experts noted legislation against food waste does not imply that China faces an immediate food security risk, but it is a far-sighted move of preparing for adversity in times of prosperity when global markets for grain and agricultural products face uncertainty.
The 32-article draft law stipulates that governments above the county level should establish food banks and encourage food producers to donate unsold edible food to people in need via social organizations and charities.
Livestreaming and other programs about excessive eating and drinking will be banned. Producers of such content will be ordered to rectify their behaviors and violators face a fine of 10,000 yuan ($1,526) to 100,000 yuan. This clause came as recently, to attract attention, some vloggers performed on short-video platforms pretending to be competitive eaters. Although they ordered large amounts of food, they left much uneaten and often vomited what they had consumed.
The draft also said restaurants should remind customers not to order too much by posting slogans or having waiters to do so. They should describe the size of each dish and offer a smaller portion as an option. Catering service providers are also allowed to charge for food waste if customers leave too much.
Governments should publish their anti-food waste work and state-owned companies should enhance regulations on catering for conferences and receptions, arranging food for the events properly.
Zheng Fengtian, a professor at Renmin University of China's School of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, told the Global Times that China is "100 percent self-sufficient" in two main grains, rice and wheat, and is diversifying its food imports to guarantee stable supply.
But it is very important to make administrative and legal moves to tackle the problem amid the severe waste, and the legislation will guide the concrete efforts of governments, industries and consumers, the expert said.
Food is also wasted in production, storage and distribution due to technical problems, Zheng told the Global Times in an earlier interview.
CCTV reported on Tuesday that the NPC Standing Committee will also consider legislation on food security in 2021, which will contain regulations on food losses during processing, storage and circulation.
Wu Zidan, an agriculture expert at Jilin University, said that food waste is also a waste of precious water and land resources on which crops grow. The value of wasted food far exceeds its price.
"Good food consumption habits are not only for food security, but also a sign of social progress and civilization," Wu said.
Chinese top leaders in August called for enhancing public awareness of the food waste problem, cultivating thrifty habits in a national Clean Plate Campaign. A similar campaign was launched in 2013 that mainly targeted officials' extravagant feasts and receptions.

US coronavirus death projection lowered but official warns of 'second wave'
Wednesday, 08 April 2020 11:56 PM [ Last Update: Wednesday, 08 April 2020 11:56 PM ]

An influential university model on the US coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday scaled back its projected death toll by 26% to 60,000 but a federal health official warned of a second wave of infections if Americans relax "social distancing" practices.
The downward revision in the death toll in the University of Washington model - often cited by US and state policymakers - coincides with comments by some political leaders that caseloads may have reached a plateau in certain areas.
Those assessments in recent days, including an apparent leveling out in hospitalizations in New York state - the US epicenter of the pandemic - are tempered by a persistent climb in the US death toll, which rose by more than 1,900 on Tuesday as some 30,000 new infections were reported.
New York Mayor Bill De Blasio told a briefing on Wednesday that coronavirus-related hospitalizations in the most populous US city had stabilized and that the need for ventilators was lower than projected.
"In the last few days we've actually seen fewer ventilators needed that were projected," the mayor said.
Even that revised forecast suggested months of pain ahead for the United States. All told, about 400,000 US infections have been reported, along with roughly 13,000 deaths.
"What's really important is that people don't turn these early signs of hope into releasing from the 30 days to stop the spread - it's really critical," said Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, referring to guidelines aimed at reducing the spread of the virus.
"If people start going out again and socially interacting, we could see a really acute second wave," Birx added.
The pandemic has upended American life, with 94% of the population ordered to stay at home and nearly 10 million people losing their jobs in the past two weeks.
Hospitals have been inundated with cases of covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, resulting in shortages of medical equipment and protective garments.
The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model is one of several that the White House task force has cited. It now projects US deaths at more than 60,000 by Aug. 4, down from the nearly 82,000 fatalities it had forecast on Tuesday.
The White House coronavirus task force has previously projected 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die.
The institute also moved up its projected peak in the number to US deaths to this Sunday, when it predicted 2,212 people will succumb to the disease. The revision moves forward the projected peak by four days, suggesting the strain on the country's healthcare system will begin to abate a little sooner than previously expected.

Andisiwe Mbunje Gaqa
Today we talk to Andisiwe Mbunje Gaqa, the founder of Isibane Se Afrika. The incredibly Khayelitsha-based choir that's recently performed in Poland, Germany and wait for it - for the royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Andiswe herself grew up in Khayelitsha and has always had a love for art and performing. Due to circumstances and bullying at school she dropped out of high school but felt it important to finish so returned later to complete her Matric and performance studies. After this she got a part in a theatre production called Amandla Mandela in Amsterdam and has since also been in movies and commercials.
But the needs of her community were weighing heavily on Andiswe who started the choir back in 2003 because she wanted to have an after school projects to keep kids off the streets. Today the choir's impact runs a lot deeper for the community of Khayelitsha as it now not only offers an after school programme for kids, it also supports youth and micro entrepreneurs, provides key choir members with a stipend and helps them in turn support their families, fights poverty as well as depression that stems from the hopelessness and struggles many face in the community, and so much more.
Do yourself a favour, catch their powerful performance and interview at 5PM today.

10 Reasons to Visit Juneau, Alaska
Besides proximity to the natural wonders Alaska's known for, this city also affords visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in local culture and history.
Twitter Facebook Pinterest Copyurl Copy Link
While the idea of vast, open landscapes and beautifully rare wildlife might dominate most travelers' imaginations when they picture the great state of Alaska, the capital city of the largest state in our union, Juneau, provides that and also much, much more. Although a list of 10 reasons to visit Juneau would not be complete without including experiencing some of its surrounding natural beauty and picturesque scenery, the city itself also provides a wonderful look at Alaska's rich, diverse, and enduring sense of culture.
The Macaulay Salmon Hatchery
The Macaulay Salmon Hatchery is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get an up-close and personal look at the developing life stages and spawning processes of salmon. With the help of an experienced guide, you'll get an in-depth commentary on the life cycles of salmon and various other fish. They also have saltwater aquariums that over 150 species of aquatic life call home. If you're feeling hungry by the end of your tour, you can sample a variety of smoked salmon products — and even have them shipped to your home! With regular business hours starting at 10 AM during the months of May to September, the hatchery is open by appointment only during the winter months.
Alaska State Museum
History buffs and just flat-out curious people alike will find the 25,000 objects and artifacts in the Alaska State Museum more than enough to pique their interest into Alaska's long, deeply embedded and multicultural history. From everything to native history, Russian colonial History, and gold mining history, this museum encompasses all Alaska has gone through on the road to becoming part of the United States, and more.
Mount Roberts Tramway
The Mount Roberts Tramway is one of the best ways to get great views of Juneau and beyond. Starting at sea level and traveling through a lush rainforest to an altitude of 1,800 feet, it is southeast Alaska's only tramway — and with food, hiking, and more at the top, it's well worth the price of admission to take a ride to the top.
Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure
When most people think of rainforests, they think of tropical areas like the Amazon. In reality, Juneau is home to one of only 7 coastal temperate rainforests in the entire world, making it a must-see for travelers visiting the Alaskan capital. Within Glacier Gardens, you can take a guided tour of 50 acres' worth of the Tongass National Forest, which provides amazing views of nature, wildlife, and landscapes.
AJ Mine Gastineau Mill Tour
Juneau has a rich gold mining history, and the AJ Mine Gastineau Mill Tour is one of the best ways to experience it. Here you can tour the old mine that was once the bedrock of the Juneau economy. You can also learn how miners used to live and — even get a brief demonstration of mining techniques from a real miner!
Eaglecrest Ski Area
It should come as no surprise that Juneau and Alaska as a whole have some of the best skiing in the entire world. And while the sheer size of Alaska might make you think you'll need to drive hours to find it, Eaglecrest Ski Area is only a 20-minute drive from downtown Juneau! Located across Gastineau Channel on Douglas Island and catering to all levels of skiers, the Eaglecrest area is also fantastic for hiking and other outdoor activities during the summer months.
Mendenhall Glacier
Some would argue that Mendenhall Glacier is one of Juneau's most spectacular scenic attractions, and is something every visitor should experience during their stay in and around the city. From the visitor center, you can get some of the best views of this 13-mile-long glacier as it ends at Mendenhall Lake. Visiting the glacier might also provide wildlife sightings like bears, goats, salmon spawning, and more.
Tracy Arm
About 45 miles south of Juneau is Tracy Arm Fjord. Along with Mendenhall Glacier, it is one of Juneau's most popular natural phenomena. With floating ice ranging in size from a human hand to that of 2- and 3-story buildings, it's a sight to behold. Also possessing gorgeous waterfalls and 3,000 foot cliffs shooting up from the sides of the Fjord, Tracy Arm can provide breathtaking views of wildlife, though mainly in the summer months.
Alaskan Brewing Company
With a city that's so accommodating to activity and outdoorsmanship, at some point you might fancy relaxing for a nice cold beverage, and what better place to do so than the world-famous Alaskan Brewing Company, headquartered in Juneau? Here you can learn about the beer that's won awards at regional, national, and international competitions. Alaskan Brewing Company also offers tours that highlight its proud status as being one of the greenest brewing operations in the world.
Take a Floatplane to Taku Glacier Lodge
Not only is flying by floatplane a fantastic and hard-to-come-by opportunity in and of itself, but when you combine it with panoramic views of the Juneau area and ending your trip at Taku Glacier Lodge, you almost can't pass this up. Upon arriving at the glacier lodge, you can dine on some of the freshest and best Alaskan salmon in the entire state.

BMW 530e iPerformance SE 2017 review
From £35,8358
Plug-in hybrid version of BMW's 5 Series is well-placed to take sales away from its higher-end diesel siblings. Strong performance and handling with favourable running costs.
The BMW 5 Series has been the go-to mid-sized executive saloon, and G30 generation brings 7 Series luxury limo quality to the class, but is it still the best?
BMW 5 Series long-term review
The BMW 5 Series is top of the mid-exec pack, but is there still room for a diesel saloon in everyday family life? We found out over seven months
The all-paw M550i is a fast, effortless mile-muncher, but there's a reason why it won't be sold in the UK
by Richard Bremner
Follow @@autocar
This is the first plug-in hybrid 5 Series. It's not the first hybrid 5 Series, that being the ActiveHybrid 5 available with the last-generation model range. Less than one percent of the 15,000 or so Fives BMW sells here yearly have been part-electric. The ActiveHybrid 5 was expensive, equipped with six cylinders and 302bhp, 149g/km CO2 performance to suit the US, which is why it made little ground here.
BMW hopes that will change, dramatically, with this new 530e iPerformance hybrid, which is a plug-in propelled by a 181bhp 2.0 litre TwinPower Turbo petrol engine and a 112bhp electric motor. The crucial difference lies in some key numbers: the 530e's £44,765 list price is £770 more than for a 530d SE and £7405 more than for a 520d Efficient Dynamics, while its 46g/km CO2 emissions score it a 9% BIK rating compared to the 520d ED's 23% and the 530d's 26%. That's vastly more competitive than for the ActiveHybrid 5 and enough, BMW thinks, to see it selling around 5000 plug-in 5 Series in a full year.
What's it like?
Start your trip with a fully charged battery and it's on electric power that you'll initially travel unless you've heavy with the throttle, in which case the petrol engine momentarily assists.
The 9.2kWh lithium-ion battery will realistically allow a 22-mile range, and in near total silence, the only sound being the tyres' hum. The car remains tranquil even when the petrol engine kicks in, although the four-pot produces a pleasing internal combustion rasp if you ask plenty of it. The transition from one to the other is tremor-free, as you'd expect, and it's easy to forget that you're in a hybrid car at all, the 'Auto eDrive' driving mode enabling the car to select the optimum mix of power sources depending on the driver's demands and the terrain advice supplied by the sat-nav. And while it may be saving fuel, the 530e is not slow, breaking 62mph in 6.2sec: pretty rapid for a car that's partly about economy.
This twin-engined zest is complemented by a lithe, confident chassis that delivers a supple and sophisticated ride that's as pleasing as this car's quiet agility. Only the steering lets it down, the weight at the rim feeling curiously mushy, although it points the car accurately. As always with hybrids, there's diversion to be had from monitoring the car's energy usage and the game of trying to see how far you can go on amperes alone.
For this you engage 'Max eDrive' mode, which allows speeds of up to 87mph, although you certainly aren't going to see the official 29-mile range if you attempt to cover it at that pace. A battery control mode allows the pack to be recharged to a level between 30 and 100 percent to provide electric range for later use, while recharging from a domestic socket takes five hours, this halving if you buy a £570 (with government grant) wallbox charger.
Should I buy one?
This hybrid 5 Series is a far better proposition than the previous offering. It's reasonably priced, functions fusslessly, saves money in both energy and tax terms and provides the same polished array of qualities as the more conventional versions of the latest, excellent, 5 Series. Expect to see many more hybrid 5 Series than previously, especially given the pressure on diesel models.

One less decision
530d SE - RIP, for Tax reasons alone.

The rather more popular 520d won't be going anywhere though as it's still much cheaper.
Never said it would

Which is why I didn't mention it!
I wouldn't discount it though if the driver is open minded, a higher rate tax paying company car driver would be £2000 a year better off with the 530e, so on a 4 year lease the £8000 less out of pocket compared to a £7400 initial difference, which may not look too bad when spread into the lease.
Incorrect.
By no means every user chooser picks a car simply based on tax liability, but for many different reasons, including having the extra power available and being able to afford it. The company car parcs would be full of low emission/alt fuelled cars if your narrow unsophisticated, uninformed view were true, which it is most certainly NOT. TWIT
Shame about the mushy
Shame about the mushy steering but otherwise sounds like a fine car. Will we get a Touring version?
Sounds ok but a 3 cylinder
Sounds ok but a 3 cylinder diesel version - meeting the latest emissions regs of course - would be even better
oh and you don't mention the
oh and you don't mention the other catch with a standard car modded to PHEV, huge car with only a 410 litre boot, less than a Skoda Yeti.
2 grand more than the Kia stinger
Which one will sell more? Let's have a stinger v BMW 5 test to settle it. Not direct rivals in terms of remit, but with only 2 k separating them, why not, both well over £40k.
Outoftowner1969
Yes, before we all get carried away with the BIK of 9%... Be very careful before you commit to all the compromises of a hybrid. I was looking into this today. In two years time it's going up to 19%.
So midway through any lease you're going to get gubbed with more than double the tax rate they're showing now. So much for the government wanting us to go green. You might be cheaper getting one of those horrible double cab 4x4 pick ups, if it's tax you're trying to save.
Or just get the car you want in the first place.
Me, I'm thinking swapping to a car allowance and only running my fleet of old bangers, just getting the bus when they break down.

'PBS NewsHour' Anchor Judy Woodruff Discusses Media Climate at 2018 GV Expo
Maintaining integrity, credibility when the perception is that news is biased, fake or opinionated
WASHINGTON—Judy Woodruff, award-winning anchor and managing editor of "PBS NewsHour," addressed the challenges of presenting a news program at a Government Video Expo keynote conversation with Paul McLane, managing director of content for Future US.
Woodruff was asked about maintaining integrity and credibility in today's media climate where the perception of the American public is that the news is biased, fake or opinionated. She said the best way to combat that was "to do the best job we can to cover the news; to make sure we get our facts straight as best we can; to admit it when we make a mistake or when we find out some information we had wasn't right; correct it as quickly as we can; and to be transparent about what we're doing and how we're gathering the news.
"We've got to be much better about separating out our own views as we share news on the air and in writing because we do run the risk of hurting our credibility. And in the end, all we really have is our credibility. If the people can't trust what we're reporting, if they can't believe us, then we don't really have value anymore. So that is the most precious thing we have and we have to guard that," she said.
THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
Woodruff discussed the difficulties of preparing for each day's program and praised the "PBS NewsHour" team. How much time do you spend on a particular piece of news? Should that be a topic covered that day? It is a day-long debate that the staff works on together to figure it out. And a final program can be completely scrapped for late-breaking news.
"It's an ongoing conversation about what matters," said Woodruff. "Every day it's a discussion. Do we run three minutes or 90 seconds? Did we run the story last night? Can we do it better tomorrow night when there might be a more important guest available? We're including these taped pieces that we've worked on for weeks and weeks at the same time we're covering breaking news.
It's a constant judgment call and decisions are being made right up until the time to air, according to Woodruff. "Sometimes there is a complete show prepared to go on the air and some late news causes you to throw the whole show out and start over. You have to be flexible," she said. "Fortunately, I work with an amazing, flexible team of smart people."
Today's viewers have so many choices in how they receive their news. As Woodruff pointed out, in addition to the traditional broadcast networks, consumers also get their news from cable channels and social media.
"What that has meant for us at 'PBS NewsHour' is that, yes, we are still a traditional news program," Woodruff said, "but we are also a place that is constantly thinking about how we reach people today where they are… Therefore, we are working on streaming; we work with Apple News; we work with Facebook; we work with so many of the folks who are digitally so far ahead of where we were when we just did television.
"Frankly, ['PBS NewsHour' has] an audience that has exploded in size in the last few years due to the interest in news," she continued. "We have that legacy audience that we are bringing along with us, but at the same time we are reaching people through so many other ways that people couldn't even imagine a few years ago."
GETTING YOUR START
Woodruff didn't actually plan to go into journalism as a career, having spent time as an intern on Capitol Hill. When she was told that Washington didn't take women seriously, her professor suggested she cover politics as a reporter. After some entry-level newsroom positions and a brief stint as a weather girl, she was offered the position as a reporter covering the Georgia State Capitol and Atlanta politics.
"I thought I'd died and gone to heaven," she said.
A teacher in the audience brought up the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Lab program, in which her students participate. The labs are classrooms, after-school programs and clubs that produce original reports about how national and global issues affect local communities.
"The Student Reporting Lab is something I'm so proud of," said Woodruff. "It's one of my proudest things about the 'PBS NewsHour.' We work with high schools across the country, I think in all 50 states now. What the students have come up with will just blow you away. They see things that the rest of us don't see."
Asked about advice she could share as they teach students to maintain quality and integrity, but still keep them excited about telling stories that matter, Woodruff stressed the importance of values.
"In terms of what you give them, I think you give them the ability to imagine and create the news in the way they are conceiving it. At the same time you teach them the important values; the importance of getting your facts right; of talking to all the people involved. And of course, talk to them about doing quality work in the technical side of it. You may have the greatest story in the world, but if you can't convey it, if it isn't lit properly or if there's no sound, you've got a problem. Teaching them values at the same time you're teaching them the skills, is all matters."

Growing role of artificial intelligence in newsrooms
Digital Media India 2019
Shardul Sharma
Neerav Parekh, chief executive officer, vPhrase India.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making inroads into various aspects of human life. Remarkably, AI is now being used in the newsroom to write a variety of data-driven stories as well; stories related to company earnings, crime, price trends and finance, among others. So, how exactly does AI work? Basically, an algorithm collects data, analyzes that data to generate information and then transforms that information into a story.
This trend of increasing application of AI or robots in the newsroom is expected to continue in the near future as well, Neerav Parekh, chief executive officer, vPhrase India, said during the Digital Media India 2019 summit organized by WAN-IFRA in Mumbai on 19-20 February. vPhrase develops AI software for businesses.
The process of automatically creating natural language text based on non-linguistic input is called natural language generation. It combines knowledge about language and the domain to produce documents and reports automatically.
So, can AI or robots replace journalists? Not entirely, said Parekh. However, AI can help free journalists to take up assignments that they are more qualified to do. Robots are also not capable of writing non-routine stories and they lack creativity. On the other hand, AI is far more accurate and quicker than humans and this can help it do standard stories at a very huge scale. AI can help take care of large datasets flowing every week which need time consuming analysis.
The biggest advantage that AI or robots can offer in the newsroom is personalization. AI can help rewrite stories on the basis of location, demographics and behavior, said Parekh. There is a downside to heavy reliance on AI as well. According to Parekh, if gone into wrong hands, AI can be used to spread fake and biased news and can be used for trolling online, among other such activities.
Despite some cons of greater usage of AI in newsroom, Parekh said that its role is going to increase as we go forward.
"Natural language generation and AI are revolutionizing traditional journalism and organizational reporting," he said.
Time Network is one of vPhrase's customers and the company's head of corporate strategy, Jijnesh Kenia, spoke about how his company is using the software. Times Network is using vPhrase's AI software to turn large datasets such as BARC and BARC Adex data, which are in Excel format, into readable reports, he said.

Harmony's FOCUS Program (Finding Our Children Unconditional Support) helps another child in state guardianship to find a forever home. FOCUS staff member Heather Butcher shares this story with a happy ending, the names have been changed.
This is a story about, Josh, a young man that has severe diabetes and had been living in a residential setting for the past 4 years when FOCUS became involved. He would often act out by intentionally doing things that caused insulin spikes and seizures. He had pretty much given up on everything and the only control he did have was his medical condition so he would use this as a way to hurt himself. His siblings were adopted and their adoptive family would periodically do a visit with him or send a card, but this was his only contact with people that weren't his caseworkers.
FOCUS did an archeological dig and discovered an aunt and uncle along with grandparents in his file that at one time wanted to be a part of his life. It wasn't easy to get everyone that had or was working with this child open to allowing this contact with his birth family. We were finally able to get permission from the team and his placement facility to start visits with these family members, in hopes this would help us better help Josh. At the same time we were all very nervous how Josh would react to this, however, it made a huge difference in his outlook on life. He started controlling his diabetes better, and stopped manipulating his insulin to cause serious medical issues. These visits went so well, that the grandparents wanted to find a way to get him out of this facility and into their home.
We were able to not only PATH train his grandparents, but also their support system (community, friends, church members) to make sure that Josh had all the supports he needed when he stepped out of residiential and into their home. Josh did finally leave the residential treatment facility he had been living in for the past 4 years and go home to live with his grandparents. After the allotted time in his grandparents home they were able to finalize his adoption so he knew he wouldn't ever be leaving them. This made all the difference in the world to Josh and his diabetes. He stopped trying to hurt himself with his diabetes and learned to control it because he now had a reason to live and something worth living for.

The storybook New York Islanders haven't just punched their ticket to the post-season, they've earned home-ice advantage in the first round. Getting through to Round Two is going to require downing the top-heavy but star-studded Pittsburgh Penguins.
Few believed the Islanders would make the post-season, let alone earn home-ice advantage in the first round, but a storybook season continues with New York owning the second-best record in the Metropolitan Division and hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins in Round One. And here's the bonus for the Islanders: if there's any coach familiar with the Penguins, and any coach who knows a game plan that will work to beat Pittsburgh in the post-season, it's Barry Trotz, who guided the Washington Capitals past the rival Penguins last season en route to a Stanley Cup victory.
Pittsburgh hardly enters the series as an underdog, however. With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel and Jake Guentzel and…you get the point. The Penguins can run-and-gun and goaltender Matt Murray has been rock solid in recent weeks. This one could go the distance.
Under the new leadership of GM Lou Lamoriello, coach Barry Trotz and goalie guru Mitch Korn, the Islanders have made a remarkable about-face in just one season. Last year, New York was the worst defensive team in the league; this season, it's been the best. Netminders Robin Lehner and Thomas Greiss put up some of the NHL's best save percentages, with both contributing shutouts, so it's not just about the guys in front of them (though they've been good, too). Trotz's structure has been the guiding light defensively, while Korn has helped unlock something special in the goalies.
Far from relying on one player or line for offense, the Islanders have spread the love around. The famous fourth line of Casey Cizikas between Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck continues to contribute, with the center achieving his first 20-goal season. The Isles play old-school, with plenty of hits and blocked shots, and it has flustered the competition all season.
But there is certainly a sense that New York's miraculous run to the top of the Metro is a mirage, and the fact the Islanders are one of the worst possession teams in the NHL speaks to that. In the regular season, that was masked by great goaltending and hot shooting, but a downturn in either would spell doom for the squad. Lehner has just two career playoff games to his name, while Greiss has a dozen post-season appearances. How will Lehner, in particular, respond to the pressure?
Speaking of pressure, some of New York's most important weapons began to struggle down the stretch. Mathew Barzal and Jordan Eberle started cold in March after combining for just 14 points in February. Across the final eight weeks of the season, the duo had 22 points in 46 combined games. Was the team's luck beginning to dry up at the wrong time?
The Islanders have one of the NHL's worst power plays, and they're not strong on faceoffs. They're middle-of-the-pack in penalty killing, but at least they don't take many minors.
X-Factor: The Isles received permission to host first-round games at Nassau Coliseum, the old barn where the franchise won its dynasty Cups in the 1980s. In terms of crowd noise and enthusiasm, this is a big win for the team, which otherwise has played at the less-than-ideal-for-hockey Barclays Center in Brooklyn. On the other hand, since the Islanders have called both rinks their home this season, they may not get the same kind of home-ice advantage that comes with knowing the subtleties of a building inside and out – the way the puck bounces off the boards or glass, for example – that other teams will.
Pittsburgh's biggest strength is the fact it still employs one of the best all-around players ever, Sidney Crosby. The captain and three-time Stanley Cup champion is having one of his most remarkable seasons yet, and that's saying something. Crosby, at 31, is still putting up points, still dominating the faceoff circle and still shutting down the enemy's top lines. Could he add a Selke Trophy to his overstuffed cabinet this summer?
Oh, and behind captain Crosby at center is another legendary pivot in Evgeni Malkin. The Pens also have young playoff wizards such as goalie Matt Murray and winger Jake Guentzel – both of whom become super-charged in the post-season. Murray has only lost one playoff series ever: last year, to the eventual champs from Washington.
Overall, the Penguins are chock full of experience thanks to two recent titles, and coach Mike Sullivan has proven himself to be the kind of thinker who can adapt when faced with a challenge and gets it done in crunch time behind the bench.
Injuries decimated the Pittsburgh blueline in the second half, and health must be a concern, starting with star defenseman Kris Letang. Due to a lack of depth, Pittsburgh traded for big but slow Erik Gudbranson at the deadline, but his game isn't exactly tailored to the kind of pedal-to-the-metal hockey the Pens are known for. Jack Johnson is another veteran D-man who will have to prove the doubters wrong. Can this group hold the fort enough to allow the forwards to flourish?
While the Penguins have some decent depth up front, they are a top-heavy group. Crosby and Malkin can cover up a lot of deficiencies in that department with their play down the middle, but if the Penguins face a heavy, deeper crew (like Washington last year), it could be the death knell for a group that seems to be at the beginning of the end of its championship window.
X-Factor: Matt Murray has had quite the interesting year in net. In his first 10 appearances, he gave up four goals or more on seven occasions. He also had a concussion during that period and missed more action in November and December due to a lower-body injury. By mid-March, he was beginning to right the ship, having suffered only one regulation loss in nine starts between Feb. 23 and March 12. If Murray gets back to playoff form, he'll be one of the biggest difference-makers in the league. But if the competition has finally figured out the 24-year-old, the Penguins will be sunk. Backup Casey DeSmith can't carry the load.


Yep, tomorrow. You coming Kes?
Rik, do you want to come on Sunday as well?
Of course. What we playing?

I might be free for s short while ill have to let you know. Anyone for some battlestar galactica?
What's the plan then? Anyone got a place sorted already or shall we just go to dev cat?

Regional police force stalls out for 'Mountain Towns'

CORRECTIONS: Jeanette Haight, Andover Town Clerk, has informed us that Andover actually pays $7,000 annually for five hours of policing a month. And also Al Peters was misidentified. He is the Andover Town Constable.

After two meetings this fall, members of area select boards and Londonderry's policing committee have concluded that a regional police force was not in the cards at this point, but agreed on the value of the boards getting together to share information and find areas in which to collaborate.
Earlier this fall, Londonderry Select Board member Paul Gordon asked his counterparts from six "mountain towns" to join him in considering the possibility of forming a regional police force.
With Lt. Tim Oliver of the Vermont State Police retiring next year, Gordon felt there was an opportunity to join with other area towns to hire him and/or other police officers full time. Representatives from Weston, Peru, Windham, Andover, and Landgrove met with Gordon and Londonderry Policing Committee members this fall to consider the proposition.
Gordon said that a very rough estimate of the cost would be about $133,000 per year.
In the last week, the select boards of Peru and Andover chose not to participate. Peru Select Board member Todd Williams wrote Gordon that Peru "does not have a need for policing in town." Andover Select Board member Jean Peters told Gordon "we are out." With no town center and no major drug problems plus an existing contract with VSP that "appears to be working," Andover chose to maintain the status quo. Andover's contract with VSP costs the town $7,000 a year for about 5 hours a month. a week. The added presence on all the town roads has been noticed by residents, according to Peters.
Dispatching proved to be the "elephant in the room," according to Gordon. The Vermont State Police does the dispatching for 105 non-state agencies including police, fire and ambulance services in Vermont. Gordon said that Westminster Barracks Commander Lt. Tim Oliver told him that the agency would not take on any new dispatching for local agencies.
In an interview with The Telegraph on Tuesday Dec. 6, Capt. Thomas Hango, commander of VSP emergency communications, confirmed that the agency was not going to be adding new emergency services. "In a perfect world we would reduce or eliminate dispatching for non-state agencies," said Hango who also noted that a working group is looking at recommendations for the legislature regarding dispatching. "It could be status quo going forward," said Hango, "or it could be we look at a fee structure for the towns we now dispatch."
Gordon said that a rough estimate of the cost of establishing a dispatch function for the towns would be about $150,000 a year. Weston Board member Jim Linville asked about calling 9-1-1. Those calls go to the state police dispatch center in Westminster, according to former police officer Andover Town Constable Al Peters.
Londonderry is nearing the end of a one-year contract with VSP to provide 25 hours per week of patrol and presence at a cost of $86,000 per year. The Policing Committee is expected to propose the same arrangement at the Town Meeting in March 2017.
When the use of constables was discussed, Gordon said "the problem is turnover." Officers get trained at the Vermont Police Academy, paid for by a town, then "move on to greener pastures." In addition, recent changes in state law limit the level of policing constables able to do.
In the end, Gordon concluded that this was a "good try," but it would come down to Londonderry and Weston unless something changes financially. At best, said Gordon, a regional policing effort would be "down the road."
The various select board members did agree that meeting together was beneficial. They are enthusiastic about continuing to share ideas. It was noted that Weston, Londonderry, Peru and Andover are all looking for part-time zoning administrators. The group discussed getting together again two to four times a year after new board members are elected in March.

Minister has change of heart over Ramsey Cottage Hospital
Thursday, March 7th, 2013 6:29pm
The government minister who questioned the need for Ramsey Cottage Hospital during last month's budget debate has had a change of heart after receiving a tour of the facility.
Phil Gawne questioned the financial viability of the hospital in response to comments made by Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer who said he had his own doubts about money being ploughed into the Manx Gaelic school in St John's.
Mr Gawne is chairman of the school and Mr Singer is chairman of the League of Friends of the Hospital.
However, after accepting an invitation from Mr Singer to look round, Mr Gawne admits he's impressed.
Mr Singer says he also plans to tour the Bunscooil in the near future.

, especially on a Friday evening. The seating area outside makes for a pleasant urban drink on a summer's evening after work, on a Saturday afternoon or at night over the weekend!
The Castle Pub does not try to break any new ground, serving the usual range of lagers, bitters and wine you would expect at most pubs as well as the traditional pub meal fare. What it does offer is plenty of room inside and outside to enjoy your drink, in a friendly but lively atmosphere. It also acts as a great stop off point after Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem as you work your way in to Nottingham city centre on your way to more Nottingham bars.
It's not a final venue or somewhere you stay for more than a couple of drinks, but as a stopping off point or a getting warmed up there are few better.
I work nearby and we always go here for a drink after work on a friday during the summer. Nice view of the castle too!
this place has at least got some character, and its great if you live in the park too! the teeny boppers going past to get to to BZR are a laugh to watch too!

Summary Of Abortion Should Not Be Restricted By Diana Brown
According to Gale, an online library, defines abortion as "a medical or surgical procedure that ends a pregnancy" (Abortion). The ethnic issues behind abortion that has been going on for many years. The woman's right to abortion has created such turmoil around the world because it goes against people's religious beliefs. It is also seen as the murder of a human. In the articles, "Abortion Should Be Legal" by Stephen Currie and "Abortion Should Not Be Restricted" by Diana Brown, both authors agree that abortion should not be illegal and considered as an acceptable practice by society. Two articles, by Pope John Paul II and by Raymond J. Adamek, these men feel that abortion is not morally correct and is murder. Even though abortion has become a common procedure in America, one still asks if abortion…show more content…
As a representative for humanism at the United Nations, Brown claims that abortion should remain legal because with the banning of abortions women will use unsafe ways to have the procedure. According to Brown, "Nearly half of those abortions (20 million) are medically unsafe, resulting in the deaths of nearly 80,000 women a year and a much larger number suffering infection, injury, and trauma," (Brown). Brown believes that making abortion illegal will not put an end to abortions, which is an honest statement. In general, Brown believes that if the government spent more money in programs that taught sex education and the practice of safe sex, then the amount of abortions would decrease. Raymond J. Adamek, a professor at Kent State University, feels that abortion should not be legal. He started his article, "Abortion Should Be Illegal", by stating that most of the American citizens do not support Roe's policy. He claims that the case Roe v. Wade were based on lies. Adamek also goes on to bring forth misconceptions about
Roe V. Wade's Restriction Of Abortion
A pressing women's right issue that has divided the nation for the last 40 years is Abortion. It's a procedure in which a woman medically terminates her pregnancy, this option to terminate a pregnancy has come under great fire due to moral permissibility and ethical concern. The right to abortion was granted on a constitutional basis under the landmark decision by the supreme court case, "Roe Vs. Wade" but has been attacked and attempted to be dismantled by sweltering opposition by several special-interests groups.

There is no right or wrong side to be on, but the side that would have to be against abortion. It has been decided in 1973 by the United States Supreme Court that as long as the baby lives in the womb, he or she would be the property of the mother. Because

Summary Of A Defense Of Abortion Judith Thomson
In "A Defense of Abortion," Judith Thomson argues with a unique approach regarding the topic of abortion. For the purpose of the argument, Thomas agrees to go against her belief and constructs an argument based on the idea that the fetus is a person at conception. She then formulates her arguments concerning that the right to life is not an absolute right. There are certain situations where abortion is morally permissible. She believes that the fetus's right to life does not outweigh the right for the woman to control what happens to her own body. This, however, does not mean that she agrees that in all situations the choice to have an abortion wouldn't be self- centered or callous.
