Memory is not something that is acquired once and stays on forever. The moment that the last eyewitnesses and survivors pass away, we have to work together to build on that which remains: the testimonies of those former prisoners and the authentic artifacts connected with Auschwitz. Each item can have its own enormous meaning and should find its place in the collection of the Auschwitz Memorial. Here, it will be preserved, studied, and displayed. Its place is here.
Auschwitz, the largest and arguably the most notorious of all the Nazi death camps, opened in the spring of 1940. Its first commandant was Rudolf Höss (1900-47), who previously had helped run the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Oranienburg, Germany. Auschwitz was located on a former military base outside OÅ›wiÄ™cim, a town in southern Poland situated near Krakow, one of the country's largest cities. During the camp's construction, nearby factories were appropriated and all those living in the area were forcibly ejected from their homes, which were bulldozed by the Nazis.
Estimates of Jewish participation in partisan units throughout Europe range from 20,000 to 100,000.[323] In the occupied Polish and Soviet territories, thousands of Jews fled into the swamps or forests and joined the partisans,[324] although the partisan movements did not always welcome them.[325] An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 joined the Soviet partisan movement.[326] One of the famous Jewish groups was the Bielski partisans in Belarus, led by the Bielski brothers.[324] Jews also joined Polish forces, including the Home Army. According to Timothy Snyder, "more Jews fought in the Warsaw Uprising of August 1944 than in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April 1943".[327][r]
When the 322nd Rifle Division of the Red Army liberated Auschwitz on 27 January 1945, the soldiers found 7,500 prisoners alive and over 600 corpses.[247][248] Auschwitz II-Birkenau was liberated at around 3:30 p.m., and the main camp (Auschwitz I) two hours later.[249] Items found by the Soviet soldiers included 370,000 men's suits, 837,000 women's garments, and 7.7 tonnes (8.5 short tons) of human hair.[247][248] Primo Levi described seeing the first four Russian soldiers on horseback approach the camp at Monowitz, where he had been in the sick bay. The soldiers threw "strangely embarrassed glances at the sprawling bodies, at the battered huts and at us few still alive ...":[250]
With the appointment in January 1933 of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany, and the establishment of the Third Reich, German leaders proclaimed the rebirth of the Volksgemeinschaft ("people's community").[75] Nazi policies divided the population into two groups: the Volksgenossen ("national comrades") who belonged to the Volksgemeinschaft, and the Gemeinschaftsfremde ("community aliens") who did not. Enemies were divided into three groups: the "racial" or "blood" enemies, such as the Jews and Roma; political opponents of Nazism, such as Marxists, liberals, Christians, and the "reactionaries" viewed as wayward "national comrades"; and moral opponents, such as gay men, the work shy, and habitual criminals. The latter two groups were to be sent to concentration camps for "re-education", with the aim of eventual absorption into the Volksgemeinschaft. "Racial" enemies could never belong to the Volksgemeinschaft; they were to be removed from society.[76]
Auschwitz became a significant source of slave labor locally and functioned as an international clearing house. Of 2.5 million people who were deported to Auschwitz, 405,000 were given prisoner status and serial numbers. Of these, approximately 50 percent were Jews and 50 percent were Poles and other nationalities. Of those who received numbers, 65,000 survived. It is estimated that about 200,000 people passed through the Auschwitz camps and survived.
The government defined a Jewish person as someone with three or four Jewish grandparents, not someone who had religious convictions. This meant that people who had never practiced, or hadn't practiced Judaism in many years, or even converted to Christianity were subjected to persecution. Although anti-semitism was pervasive in 1930s Germany, these restrictions frequently extended to any person the Nazis considered to be "non-Aryan".
Before and after the March 1933 Reichstag elections, the Nazis intensified their campaign of violence against opponents.[77] They set up concentration camps for extrajudicial imprisonment.[78] One of the first, at Dachau, opened on 9 March 1933.[79] Initially the camp contained mostly Communists and Social Democrats.[80] Other early prisons were consolidated by mid-1934 into purpose-built camps outside the cities, run exclusively by the SS.[81] The initial purpose of the camps was to serve as a deterrent by terrorizing Germans who did not conform.[82]
The prisoners working in the Kanada Kommando lived in barracks. The barracks were inside the warehouse, away from the rest of the prisoners in the camp. They were in a better position than the other inmates. They could take extra food on which to survive, a pair of shoes or extra clothing to protect themselves from the severe winter weather. Some smuggled valuables to bribe the kapos or guards. If they were caught, they were killed.
German communists, socialists and trade unionists were among the earliest opponents of the Nazis[443] and among the first to be sent to concentration camps.[444] Before the invasion of the Soviet Union, Hitler issued the Commissar Order, which ordered the execution of all political commissars and Communist Party members captured.[445] Nacht und Nebel ("Night and Fog") was a directive of Hitler in December 1941, resulting in the disappearance of political activists throughout the German-occupied territories.[446]
Schindler's story remained largely the province of Holocaust scholars until the publication in 1982 of Schindler's Ark, a Booker Prize-winning novelization by Thomas Keneally. The novel, which became a canonical text of Holocaust literature, was later used as the basis for Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List (1993), which starred Liam Neeson as Schindler and Ralph Fiennes as Göth.
"Blitzkrieg" is a German compound meaning "lightning war". The word did not enter official terminology of the Wehrmacht either before or during the war, even though it was already used in the military Journal "Deutsche Wehr" in 1935, in the context of an article on how states with insufficient food and raw materials supply can win a war. Another appearance is in 1938 in the "Militär-Wochenblatt", where Blitzkrieg is defined as a "strategic attack", carried out by operational use of tanks, air force, and airborne troops. Karl-Heinz Frieser in his book 'Blitzkrieg Legende', who researched the origin of the term and found the above examples, points out that the pre-war use of the term is rare, and that it practically never entered official terminology throughout the war.
An inmate's first encounter with the camp, if they were being registered and not sent straight to the gas chamber, would be at the prisoner reception centre, where they were tattooed, shaved, disinfected, and given their striped prison uniform. Built between 1942 and 1944, the center contained a bathhouse, laundry, and 19 gas chambers for delousing clothes. Debórah Dwork and Robert Jan van Pelt write that inmates would then leave this area via a porch that faced the gate with the Arbeit macht frei sign. The prisoner reception center of Auschwitz I became the visitor reception center of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.[20]
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.
Now Albert Goering, who died in 1966, is being considered for an honour given to those who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. A file is being prepared at Yad Vashem The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, the Holocaust memorial and research centre in Israel, to put Albert Goering forward for the Righteous Among the Nations award. A campaign to honour him follows growing recognition of his efforts to save victims of the Nazis.
Jews were forced to move, often to different cities or countries, and live in designated areas, referred to as ghettos. Most of the ghettos were "open" which meant Jews were free to come and go during the daytime. As time past, more and more ghettos became "closed" meaning that Jews were trapped and not allowed to leave. No ghettos were ever established within the borders of Germany and most were only meant as a temporary means of isolating Jews from the German population until they could be moved elsewhere.
By mid-1942, the majority of those being sent by the Nazis to Auschwitz were Jews. Upon arriving at the camp, detainees were examined by Nazi doctors. Those detainees considered unfit for work, including young children, the elderly, pregnant women and the infirm, were immediately ordered to take showers. However, the bathhouses to which they marched were disguised gas chambers. Once inside, the prisoners were exposed to Zyklon-B poison gas. Individuals marked as unfit for work were never officially registered as Auschwitz inmates. For this reason, it is impossible to calculate the number of lives lost in the camp.
Despite, wide reporting of Holocaust atrocities including gas chambers, many prominent analysts doubted the authenticity of these reports. Prominently, Roger Allen, a member of the British Foreign Office discounted intelligence reports on the use of gas chambers in Polish extermination camps because he could "never understand what the advantage of a gas chamber over a simple machine gun or over starving people would be."
Responding to domestic pressures to act on behalf of Jewish refugees, U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt convened, but did not attend, the Évian Conference on resettlement, in Évian-les-Bains, France, in July 1938. In his invitation to government leaders, Roosevelt specified that they would not have to change laws or spend government funds; only philanthropic funds would be used for resettlement. Britain was assured that Palestine would not be on the agenda. The result was that little was attempted and less accomplished.
In 2018 the Polish government passed an amendment to its Act on the Institute of National Remembrance, making it a criminal offence to make false suggestions of Polish complicity in the Holocaust, which would include referring to Auschwitz and other camps as "Polish death camps".[303] After discussions with Israel's prime minister, amid international concern that the law would stifle research, the Polish government adjusted the amendment so that anyone falsely accusing Poland of complicity would be guilty only of a civil offence.[304]
In the 1930s, the political landscape of Europe changed dramatically with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the German Nazi Party. Sensing the shift in political momentum, Schindler joined a local pro-Nazi organization and began collecting intelligence for the German military. He was arrested by Czech authorities in 1938, charged with spying and sentenced to death but was released shortly thereafter, when Germany annexed the Sudetenland. Schindler would take advantage of this second chance.
Though classified as an armaments factory, the Brünnlitz plant produced just one wagonload of live ammunition in just under eight months of operation. By presenting bogus production figures, Schindler justified the existence of the subcamp as an armaments factory. This facilitated the survival of over 1,000 Jews, sparing them the horrors and brutality of conventional camp life. Schindler left Brünnlitz only on May 9, 1945, the day that Soviet troops liberated the camp.
The victories of Operation Barbarossa in the summer and fall of 1941 against Hitler's new enemy, the Soviet Union, led to dramatic changes in Nazi anti-Jewish ideology and the profile of prisoners brought to Auschwitz.[37] Construction on Auschwitz II-Birkenau began in October 1941 to ease congestion at the main camp. Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, head of the Schutzstaffel (SS), intended the camp to house 50,000 prisoners of war, who would be interned as forced laborers. Plans called for the expansion of the camp first to house 150,000 and eventually as many as 200,000 inmates.[38] An initial contingent of 10,000 Soviet prisoners of war arrived at Auschwitz I in October 1941, but by March 1942 only 945 were still alive, and these were transferred to Birkenau, where most of them died from disease or starvation by May.[39] By this time the Nazis had decided to annihilate the Jewish people,[40] so Birkenau became a labor and extermination camp.[39][41]
The Reichswehr and Red Army collaborated in wargames and tests in Kazan and Lipetsk beginning in 1926. During this period, the Red Army was developing the theory of Deep operations, which would guide Red Army doctrine throughout World War II. Set within the Soviet Union, these two centers were used to field test aircraft and armored vehicles up to the battalion level, as well as housing aerial and armored warfare schools through which officers were rotated. This was done in the Soviet Union, in secret, to evade the Treaty of Versailles's occupational agent, the Inter-Allied Commission.
Dan Stone, a specialist in the historiography of the Holocaust, lists ethnic Poles, Ukrainians, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, black Germans, and homosexuals as among the groups persecuted by the Nazis; he writes that the occupation of eastern Europe can also be viewed as genocidal. But the German attitude toward the Jews was different in kind, he argues. The Nazis regarded the Jews not as racially inferior, deviant, or enemy nationals, as they did other groups, but as a "Gegenrasse: a 'counter-race', that is to say, not really human at all". The Holocaust, for Stone, is therefore defined as the genocide of the Jews, although he argues that it cannot be "properly historically situated without understanding the 'Nazi empire' with its grandiose demographic plans".[d] Donald Niewyk and Francis Nicosia, in The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust (2000), favour a definition that focuses on the Jews, Roma, and Aktion T4 victims: "The Holocaust—that is, Nazi genocide—was the systematic, state-sponsored murder of entire groups determined by heredity. This applied to Jews, Gypsies, and the handicapped."[33]
By the end of the war, Schindler had spent his entire fortune on bribes and black market purchases of supplies for his workers.[80] Virtually destitute, he moved briefly to Regensburg and later Munich, but did not prosper in postwar Germany. In fact, he was reduced to receiving assistance from Jewish organisations.[39] In 1948 he presented a claim for reimbursement of his wartime expenses to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and received $15,000.[81] He estimated his expenditures at over $1,056,000, including the costs of camp construction, bribes, and expenditures for black market goods, including food.[82] Schindler emigrated to Argentina in 1949, where he tried raising chickens and then nutria, a small animal raised for its fur. When the business went bankrupt in 1958, he left his wife and returned to Germany, where he had a series of unsuccessful business ventures, including a cement factory.[83][84] He declared bankruptcy in 1963 and suffered a heart attack the next year, which led to a month-long stay in hospital.[85] Remaining in contact with many of the Jews he had met during the war, including Stern and Pfefferberg, Schindler survived on donations sent by Schindlerjuden from all over the world.[84][86] He died on 9 October 1974 and is buried in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, the only member of the Nazi Party to be honoured in this way.[39][84] For his work during the war, on 8 May 1962, Yad Vashem invited Schindler to a ceremony during which a carob tree planted in his honor on the Avenue of the Righteous.[87] He and his wife, Emilie, were named Righteous Among the Nations, an award bestowed by the State of Israel on non-Jews who took an active role to rescue Jews during the Holocaust, on 24 June 1993.[88] Other awards include the German Order of Merit (1966).[89]


Mrs. Robinson has fronted for other such libels against Israel. So maybe she can convene one of her many NGOs and once again put Israel in the dock, perhaps with journalist Donald Boström as prosecuting attorney or plaintiff.
The Swedish ambassador to Israel said that the Aftonbladet story is "shocking and appalling to us Swedes."
But the editor of the paper, Jan Helin, had an answer: "It is deeply unpleasant and sad to see such a strong propaganda machine using centuries-old anti-Semitic images in an apparent attempt to get an obviously topical issue off the table." So it is his tabloid's critics who are using anti-Semitic images, not the writer and not the journal.
This is repulsive, and the fact that Arab media regularly traffic in such blood libels doesn't make it less so.
If you don't believe that anti-Semitism is now on the rise in many places, you are blind. Mary Robinson's award conveyed the sense that at the White House this ugly trend was of no consequence.

The Educational Magazine, Volumen 1
system, furnishes them with a vast deal of knowledge concerning the operations and economy of nature, through which they might be directed to the contemplation of the Divine Being, who would thus not only be remembered in the lessons of the school, but be continually brought before their minds through every manual operation.
The following plan has been tried at Southam, in Warwickshire, under the direction of Dr. Smith, who writes-"My plan is simply this: I divide three roods ten poles of land into twelve gardens, which are occupied by boys from twelve to eighteen years of age, for the cultivation of vegetables-peas, carrots, cabbages, kidney beans, celery, parsnips, &c. I allow only one quarter to be cultivated for potatoes: they pay various prices, from sixpence to one shilling per month, according to the size-the rent for the whole amount is £4..17..0 per annum: the seventeen shillings I expend in our rent dinners, and a
of ale monthly when they bring their rent, which, I am glad to tell you, my dear little tenants have hitherto done to an hour. It was a glorious sight in the summer to see all the gardens so clean and full of stuff: I could have challenged it for produce and cleanliness against any acre of ground in the county. The moral advantages too have been very great; for instance, in this town we have 1200 inhabitants, the greater part of whom, being agricultural labourers, have been fully and fairly employed all the summer. There are about forty boys who have been at our national school, but who are not yet old enough to go to service: in the summer evenings, if unemployed, they are very apt to get into mischief; but my boys, since they have had a garden to resort to, have forsaken the streets, and are acquiring that sort of knowledge which is likely to become of service to them when they become men; their fathers and mothers, especially the latter, are made very happy, their cottages have been filled with good vegetables all the summer, at no expense to the father's strength or mother's care; for the boys, whilst they will work hard to procure the rent, are very willing to let their parents have the produce. This they sometimes pay the boys for and sometimes not, whichever they do it amounts to the same thing; if the boys sell the vegetables to their mothers, the money is laid out in clothing, so that saves the father's purse. If four acres of land could be procured for every forty boys, we should have the whole country smiling with health, activity, and content."
Now such a garden as this ought to be attached to every village school. The practicability of the thing is here clearly ascertained, being brought to the test of experiment. "The streets have been forsaken;" thus vicious company is avoided, the children's parents have been benefited in a pecuniary way, and this benefit has been afforded in a manner calculated to increase the love between a mother and her child. How sweet, how doubly sweet must have been the meal, in which the vegetables were procured by the industry of a child of tender years, and how doubly must such a child be endeared to its parents. All this is of a highly moral character, this is the education of the feelings, the cultivation of the heart. For six months in the year, the child's mind has been fixed on the flowers he shall gather, to ornament his parent's humble dwelling; the arms-full of cabbage,
and beans, and pease, and carrots, he shall take home to increase the comforts of that home, and the honest pride with which he shall show the produce of his labour to his neighbours and companions; he will bring them, as it were, an offering to the shrine of filial love, and in bringing them he will remember the happy toil he has bestowed upon them, recurring with feelings of delight to the hours in which he watched for the tender blade to spring up-how he rejoiced at the first signal of vegetation-how he transplanted, watered, and hoed, and trained, and guarded the plant as it grew, till he almost felt an affection for it, and rejoiced in its summer bloom and its autumnal ripeness :-These are feelings that must more or less be experienced, and rude as may be the expression of them, and uncouth as may be the manner in which they may be shewn, still they will have their effect; and withered indeed will be the age and shrunken will be the heart, that will cease to retain them; for they will be mixed with the most pleasing of the recollections of boyish days,-days which we recur to with a brief greenness of heart, when we are sinking on the arid deserts of dissappointment, or in declining years,-when we feel the maxim of the preacher, that "all is vanity," to be truth.
The following are among the principal ideas which have been entertained on the subject, and comprehend an outline of a simple agricultural and labour school for girls and boys:
1-.The object of such a school is to make industry the leading feature; to make it subservient to the formation of character, and the acquisition of as much knowledge as may be deemed necessary to render it beneficial to the neighbourhood; and to make it pay its own expenses.
2.-A piece of ground should be taken, of a sufficient size, according to the number of children. It should be the property of the owner of the school, or if on lease the landlord should pay for all improvements, at the expiration of the lease. A piece of waste land would not be objectionable (provided the soil were easy to cultivate), because it would be cheaper, and the result, if successful, would be more decided.
3. A man should be hired to cultivate the ground, part with the plough or spade, and part as a garden. He must be intelligent generally, and understand his business thoroughly; he should be of a kind disposition, and should understand and approve the objects of the school; he should undertake to communicate to the children all the knowledge he possesses, and consider their instruction as of still more importance than his manual labour; not, however, neglecting the latter; he should direct their labour in the most useful manner, both for the garden and themselves.
4.-A schoolmaster should be obtained for the direct teaching of the children. He must understand that the chief sphere of his teaching would be in the garden and workshops; making himself acquainted with the processes going on, and with the principles of gardening and farming, as well as the practice. By means of the interest which the child would feel in the objects before him, their nature and uses, much more would be learnt than through any system of book instruction not illustrated by visible and tangible facts. The qualities and produce of the soil, and the habits of the animals fed upon it, would naturally become subjects of inquiry, and afford opportunities of useful information. The schoolmaster must work with the children: when the gardener points out the work required for the garden, the master must distribute the work and superintend it; the children must work in groups, under monitors; as far as possible, each child must be employed, down to the very youngest, VOL. 1.-Jan. 1835.
who must have some work allotted, as picking stones, sticks, counting cab. bages, &c.
5.-The labour must be adapted to the age, and regular; at stated hours the children must adjourn to the school, or take lessons in the open air, according to the weather or convenience-there they would learn reading, &c. Great part of the lessons, exclusive of scriptural instruction, would consist of explanations respecting the objects animate and inanimate in the garden, taken from books adapted to this purpose. Besides gardening, the children should be taught such trades as local and other circumstances might render desirable : masonry, shoemaking, tailor's, carpenter's, and blacksmith's work, netting, knitting, &c. Some of these also might form direct subjects for instruction. 6.-The girls, under the direction of a competent superintendent, should be taught household work-washing, cooking, baking, &c.; they should not be exempt from out-door labour;-its healthiness is a recommendation for all.
7. A cottage must be found for the gardener and schoolmaster; but all the other buildings should be erected by the labour of those persons and the children. The convenience and comforts of the inmates should grow gradually, and in proportion to their own exertions. If instructed in classes they might use any small room, that could be obtained for their temporary accommodation. The first thing to be erected in addition, is a large shed; if this were began on a proper plan, it could be enlarged by degrees till it answered every purpose. The children could soon pave the floor with stones, if directed: the building would serve for workshops, and for a place of exercise in bad weather.
8. A great object would be to collect manure; cattle must be kept for this purpose, and every other means resorted to: the children might be usefully employed-sometimes in collecting and fetching it from a distance. The parents might be encouraged to keep pigs, and supplied sometimes with food for them, giving the manure in return.
9. Besides the regular work of the garden, &c. the children should have gardens of their own; the whole produce of which should be their own, to carry home to their parents. The children should be allowed to bring linen from home to wash, and to make articles of furniture for presents to the parents, or to mend any articles about the house.
10. The objects of the school should be fully and patiently explained to the parents, who should be invited to second them; the privilege of purchasing the garden produce, as well as the manufactories of the school, at a lower price, from the school-shop, should be offered to the parents; and the rewards of the children should be composed of such articles as would be valuable to their families. Give the parents, in short, as great an interest as possible in the school, as experience points out the best mode of doing it. Let them feel the school to be, as it were, their own. Let them see that they reaped all the advantage, except in the gradual improvement of the property, but let this improvement benefit them in a palpable manner. Here they might bring their assistance, viz. labour, to the school, as a common fund; a deposit of labour to be returned in produce, or in education to the children. Whatever trade a parent exercised, let him, at his leisure time, give his labour or instruction to the school: the complaint is the parent cannot get employment; then he would have more time to give to the school. Invite a stocking-maker or weaver, &c. from an over-peopled manufactory, to settle near the school, teach the children his trade, work for the neigbourhood, and vary his labour or work at leisure hours in the garden: his health, comfort, and character, would improve. It would be easy to keep a labour account of hours against every one who gave his labour to the garden; this would be valued and paid in produce. 11. As the children would improve daily, and their labour become more valuable the longer they stayed, it would be right to enter into a contract with the parents to continue the children at the school a certain number of years.
This would not only repay the school more completely, but would promote the general objects of the establishment, the formation of good habits, and the acquisition of practical knowledge.
12. Of course tools of all sorts must be provided by the proprietor; the mode in which he would look for remuneration, would be the payment of the children, their labour in garden produce, and the permanent improvement in land and buildings. He would also form a collection of books for the school, containing the requisite information on the subject of their labours.
13. The Bible should not be made a class-book, but read at stated times, as a book of divine instruction, and proper passages learned out of it. Doctrinal religion should not be taught in the school, but what is taught should be entirely practical and made to go hand in hand with the work.-There should be a plan of the garden and premises, this plan should be studied in the school, and would exemplify the elementary principles of land-measuring, &c. Each boy, as he grew old enough, should make one for himself, on a reduced scale. The children should learn the distances, in feet, of all parts of the garden, and the number of square feet in the whole and in each part, the plants growing in each bed, their number, and value, &c. The children should be allowed to propagate plants for themselves, for pleasure, or for sale; and in the course of time might have the means of erecting a green-house.-Exact registers should be kept of all the occupations and expenses of the school; these should form the study of the children, and from them the arithmetical sums should be chiefly taken.
14. A savings' bank should be established in the school for the children.
With similar views, not however so much in detail, Mr. Hull, of Uxbridge, has endeavoured to show that schools on this principle might be made to support themselves. Mr. Hull proposes that a school-room, forty feet long and twenty feet wide, should be built, the cost of which would be about £300, to contain boys and girls. That a certain number of acres of land should be attached to the school, to be cultivated by the master, assisted by the boys who are capable of working; and that the produce of the land, with a small weekly fee from the children, and the keeping of a cow and a few pigs, would be sufficient for the support of the master and family, which would render subscriptions for the support of village and day-schools almost unnecessary. The expense of starting an institution on this plan, may thus be estimated, for the first year :
£. s. d.
Fitting up with school furniture
Labour for twenty-five boys through the year
Firing and other expenses
Manure for four acres of land, per year
Rent of land and tithes, £2 per acre
Salary to master and mistress, per year...............
Tools, seed, &c.
£118 0 0
After the first year the whole expense to be defrayed by the committee would be as follows:
After the first year the master must furnish seed, keep up the stock of tools, and supply manure for the garden. He will then have to look to the following sources for the maintenance of himself and family:
Twopence per week each for 150 boys and girls
Net profits arising from the produce of the
four acres of land, after paying for seed,
manure, labour of boys, &c. (with cottage
rent free)
£90 0 0
Mr. Hull remarks—that "In some places a cow and pigs will be of advantage; that not more than twenty-eight boys out of one hundred will be fit to labour in a profitable manner, and that that labour will not be more than two hours per day, varying, of course, according to the weather, and the season of the year; and that if they are paid at the rate of a penny an hour, they will consider this a fair remuneration; and supposing them to be employed 100 out of the 365 days, each boy will have to receive sixteen shillings at the end of the year." But we may assume, as we know from experience-having tried the scheme of cultivating land on our own grounds, by schoolboys-that much more than two hours a-day would be necessary for a boy to cultivate one twenty-fifth part of four acres of land, although assisted by the master. It would require at least three hours a-day, through nine months in the year, allowing six days a week, which would amount to 648 hours, which, at one penny per hour, would give £2..10..8 to each; but a halfpenny an hour would be sufficient remuneration, which would reduce the payment to the boys to about ninepence per week for thirty-six weeks, amounting to £1..5..4. Mr. Hull advocates the British and Foreign system; but it is quite immaterial under which system a school of this kind, in an agricultural district, is conducted. In addition to what has been suggested, we should recommend an extensive cultivation of flowers, and that the children should be made acquainted with so much of botanical knowledge as would enable them to tell the name, class, order, and species of a plant. One important recommendation found in the thirteenth proposal, is much to our minds: the careless irreverence which is generally paid in schools to the Book of Divine Revelation, and the continual reading of it as a task, has an effect not at all calculated to be beneficial in a religious point of view; it ought to be made a serious exer

Isla Huivulai är en privat ö i Mexiko. Den ligger fem kilometer från kusten i Californiaviken och tillhör delstaten Sonora, i den västra delen av landet. Ön är 17 kilometer lång och 1,2 kilometer bred vid den bredaste punkten. Ön räknas in till kommunen Cajeme och ligger ungefär 45 kilometer söder om Ciudad Obregón.

Historia
1964 byggdes en 4 700 meter lång vall för att koppla ön till fastlandet, men detta hade förödande konsekvenser för ekosystemet då den stängde ut de naturliga havsströmmarna. Bahía de Tobari, bukten som Isla Huivulai ligger i, hade till slut mer lera än vatten och hade allvarligt kontaminerats av avfall.

Invånarna i El Paredón Colorado vilket är det närmaste lilla samhället på fastlandet lyckades 2008 övertyga regeringen i Cajeme att ta bort bron och öppna upp bukten och år 2012 togs den slutgiltigt bort. Sedan dess har Isla Huivulai tagits upp som ett särskilt skyddat naturreservat i Californiaviken och framförandet av motorfordon på ön är strikt förbjuden, liksom alla typer av nya byggen. I mars 2019 har förslag kommit för att åter öppna upp ön för turism, men dessa har mötts av hård kritik. Enligt lokal lag är dock viss typ av ekoturism tillåten så som fågelskådning, sportfiske och camping.

Isla Huivulai har emellertid till stor del återhämtat sig vid år 2020 och efter att muddring utförts i området så är vattnet återigen klart och fullt av syre.

Natur

Isla Huivulai har en 97 meter djup artesisk brunn med färskvatten och höga dadelpalmar växer längs med de långa tomma stränderna och höga sanddynerna. Ön är även rik på mangrove som växer längs med vattnet på alla sidor på ön.

Ön har även ett mycket rikt djurliv vissa säsonger och fåglar som hornpelikan, fläcknäbbad pelikan, brun visseland, albatross och även snöhäger, skedstorkar och tranor. Huivulai betyder "lång hals" på mayaspråk och ön har troligen fått sitt namn efter dessa fåglar. Andra arter som synts ofta på ön är fiskmåsar, tärnor, roskarlar, saxnäbbar, snäppor, sulor och fregattfåglar. Mellan november och mars finns det även gråvalar omkring ön, vilka kan skådas från ön vid ordnade utflykter.

Fiske
Ön är även populär för fiske och då fiskas i allmänhet främst efter makrillfisken mexikansk sierra, guldmakrill (även kallad mahi mahi eller dorado), multe, havsgösfiskar och havsabbore. Det har även tidigare fiskats Stereolepis gigas men arten är numer akut hotad.

Q: Can "do somebody" mean "imitate somebody" in spoken English? I heard this exchange from Friends (an American TV show):

... ...
A: They do you.
B: Do me?
... ...

(Unfortunately, I don't know the episode number.)
The context is that A is B's assistant and she is trying to give B (a boss) some feedback about how B's team members think of him. I figure "They do you" here means they imitate him, such as his behavior, the words he said, the way he speaks, and etc.
Am I getting it right? Is it a common usage?

A: It's used in that way, but generally only in a context where the subject of imitation is already part of the context of the conversation.  If someone is doing imitations, and you say "do Donald Trump," it would be clear, but outside that context it could mean numerous things.  In general, "do" can be used as a generic verb if the verb is already the subject of the conversation (for example, if someone is drawing pictures, "do a tree" would be easily interpreted as a request for a tree drawing).

A: That particular context seems strange to me, but as others have said, to "do someone" is pretty context-sensitive.
To "do someone in" is to kill them
"Do me next!" is a request that the recipient perform whatever action they're performing on the speaker after they finish.
"I'd do her" is to comment that you'd have sex with a person. It doesn't have to be sex, but that's the usual context.
The general thread is that it's a one-way interaction. An action performed upon a person, with or without their response or permission.
In your context, it's shorthand for saying "they do (impressions of) you", it's not exactly a normal way of expressing that though.

A: The question has already been answered, but just to give more examples: the word "do" is used in that sense repeatedly in this video of Rob Brydon doing impressions on the British comedy show "Would I Lie To You?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2vUs_btP4g

A: Yes, to "do someone" can mean to impersonate them (wiktionary sense 16). That would be a reasonable interpretation given the context.
If this is from Friends (as indicated in a comment), the actual exchange goes:

Phoebe ... Yeah, yeah, they even do you!
  Chandler They do me!?
  Phoebe Y'know like, ok, um... {imitating Chandler's voice} Could that report be any later(?)
  Chandler I don't sound like that.
  Ross&Joey Yeah you do.

It's clear that "They do you" means "imitate" in this exchange. But also note how Chandler asks for confirmation of what Phoebe means. Phoebe is an "oddball character" who sometimes speaks in a slightly strange way.

A: In this particular context your interpretation seems to be correct. Saying that you can "do someone" could mean that you can imitate them. However, the vast majority of time this is a euphemism for sex, specifically having sex with that person (the person you're "doing"). I haven't seen the episode in question, but this double meaning could be adding to humor in that scene.
In general, I would recommend avoiding using this phrase if you're not referring to sex and you're not 1000% sure of it's context, as you're very likely to be misinterpreted in a very bad way.

A: I don't know the context but last time I heard it in a TV show, they used it to say something on the lines of 'get rid of', 'kill' or 'expose'.
It could also mean both 'imitate' and 'have sex with', according to Google.

When Does the Wild Bergamot Bloom?
By Sarah Moore
Different Lavender Plants
Yellow Yarrow Varieties
Bee Balm or Monarda Leaves
Difference Between a Jasminum Grandiflorum & a Jasminum Sambac
Indian Flowers of the Summer Season
A member of the mint family, the wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is also known by the more common name of bee balm. Native to North America from Canada all the way down through the United States and into Mexico, this charming garden perennial produces pink or purple flowers in late summer and early fall.
Wild bergamot is an herbaceous perennial hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9. Like most other herbs, it prefers drier or medium-moisture soils with good drainage. It will tolerate a wide range of soil types, include shallow, rocky and clay soil, and does well in times of drought. It can grow in full sun or part shade.
Clusters of pink, purple or white puffball flowers appear atop tall stems sometime in late summer, usually from July through September. Although it is sometimes considered a weed, many gardeners prize wild bergamot for its colorful flowers during a time of year when not much else is blooming. Flowers are two-lipped and somewhat ragged-looking, and should be deadheaded promptly to prolong the blooming period.
Flowers are generally 1 ½ inches to 3 inches across, and leaves are roughly 4 inches long atop 2- to 4-foot branching stems. Aside from bright flowers, bee balm or wild bergamot is relatively uninteresting looking. The plant is clump-forming with square stems, and generally requires division every two to three years to maintain the health of the plant. Sawtoothed, grayish-green leaves are highly aromatic.
Garden Uses
In addition to the herb garden, wild bergamot may be used in native plantings, wild gardens or perennial gardens. Its bright flowers make a cheerful border in late summer and early fall, though it may not be as appealing as some of the more highly cultivated types. As it is a member of the same family which contains peppermint and spearmint, its aromatic leaves can be used to make mint tea.

Johnson County to see more cuts in senior meals
Mitchell Schmidt
A local organization already struggling to find the money needed to feed Johnson County's growing aging population will have to do more with less again this coming fiscal year.
The Heritage Area Agency on Aging, the regional organization that distributes federal dollars used by local groups such as Johnson County's Elder Services Inc., has announced that a decline in voluntary contributions means the agency will likely cut about 73,000 meals region-wide from the program this July.
That means about 4,500 fewer meals for seniors in Johnson County. Heritage officials expect to distribute about 57,000 meals in Johnson County this coming fiscal year, compared with the 77,000 meals served just a few years ago.
"To have to endure a significant cut well below last year's threshold of meals is very painful," Elder Services Executive Director Susan Wehr said.
Wehr added that despite Johnson County serving about 35 percent of the participating seniors in Heritage's seven-county region, the local organization receives less than 24 percent of the agency's meals.
"We have a growing population of needy seniors in Johnson County," Wehr said.
Ingrid Wensel, executive director of the Heritage Area Agency on Aging, said that although Federal Nutrition NSIP funds toward the agency have dropped, the decline is negligible. The biggest drop in funding is being felt because of the unanticipated decline in participant contributions — which are entirely voluntary.
Heritage officials budget what they think will be the volume of contributions each year, but participants have been giving less and less, Wensel said.
Although each home-delivered or congregate site meal costs about $4, Wensel said the agency only receives about $1.50 per meal from its participants, a roughly 25 cent decline from last year.
"These are simply people who are unable to give contributions," she said. "We currently have the lowest voluntary contributions in the entire state."
The Heritage Area Agency on Aging is one of 13 organizations in Iowa, and one of more than 600 nationwide, that are funded by the federal Older Americans Act established in 1965 to provide anyone older than 60 — primarily low-income and frail individuals — with healthy meals through coordinating, advocating and funding community programs.
The regional agency has been a department of Kirkwood Community College since 1971 and provided more than 70,000 older adults with 460,000 meals last year in Linn, Johnson, Cedar, Iowa, Benton, Jones and Washington counties.
Wensel said Heritage officials are meeting with local meal providers such as Elder Services, writing grant applications and planning fundraisers to reduce the impact of impending meal cuts.
"We're exploring all options," she said. "We're doing everything we can to try to mitigate the impact of those cuts."
One option will be the recurrence of Heritage's Fill the Plate telethon, which pulled in close to $105,000 in 2012, Wensel said.
Elder Services also will host its sixth annual Elderberry Tea event from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Sunday at the University Club to recognize volunteers and raise funds to support the organization's nutrition program.
Johnson County Supervisor Rod Sullivan said during Wednesday's work session that the cuts continue to add strain on county officials, who often are asked by local congregate meal services to help fill in the gaps to fund meals.
"We continue to be asked to pick up where the federal government has dropped off, and it's not getting better, it's getting worse," Sullivan said.
The county board agreed Wednesday to invite officials with Heritage and Elder Services as well as local legislators to a meeting to discuss future senior meal funding.

Cent Michigan promotes Oesterle to succeed Guevara as coach
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) — Central Michigan has promoted Heather Oesterle to succeed retiring women's basketball coach Sue Guevara.
The moves were announced Friday.
Guevara led the Chippewas to the NCAA Tournament the previous two seasons, reaching the Sweet 16 in 2018. She helped the program win the Mid-American Conference title the last three years. The winningest coach in school history was 231-156 over 12 seasons. She previously led Michigan's program and was an assistant at Michigan State.
Oesterle was on Guevara's staff for nine years, including seven as associate head coach. The former Wolverines standout basketball player is a native of Mason, Michigan. She previously was an assistant for Michigan and at Northern Illinois and Miami (Ohio) along with being a volunteer assistant at Stanford.

8mm releases new EP "Heart-Shaped Hell"
by Kathy Creighton
One of the best lessons I've been taught over the past 15 years is that friends and acquaintances can introduce you to music you would never find any other way. This time around it is two industry friends. In this instance, one is a musician and the other a publicist. So allow me to share 8mm with you.
Photo by Ashley N._Joncas
8mm was established in 2004. The group consists of husband and wife team Sean and Juliette Beavan. Sean's musical pedigree includes having worked with Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and God Lives Underwater. In the beginning, the band was very prolific, releasing a new album every year. Now after seven years of silence 8mm returns with Heart Shaped Hell. The EP was inspired by current music that shares some of the same alt-orchestral drama of their sound. When other projects they were working on were rescheduled it opened up time for them to write and then get into the studio with new tracks. To assist with this project the Beavan's also enlisted help from Jonny (Jonathan Radtke) for guitar performance, writing and arrangement. Radtke has played with Krewella, Filter, Ashes Divide and Kill Hannah.
Overall this EP would probably be listed as alternative pop-rock. It does hold some very slight goth nods ala AFI's Decemberunderground in its storytelling and a few of the effects have just a tiny industrial edge. There are building relationship songs and dealing with break-up ones. The use of synthesizers and affected guitars are something I have missed along with the orchestral elements. My familiarity with Radtke's music is from his time with Kill Hannah. Ironically the two songs that would fit in their catalog the best are the two that were already recorded before Radtke joined 8mm on this EP.
Self Inflicted Heartache – is one of the collaborative tracks. Jonny (Jonathan) Radtke wrote and performed guitars along with providing the string arrangements. Those familiar with his style will hear it clearly. Lyrically this song tells a story many of us know, amping up the pain we already feel to deal with the original source. The punch of the chorus arrangement elicits righteous anger in anyone who has been there.
Supercrush – Someplace I am currently far too familiar with. Unrequited desire. Again heavy synth and electronic effects add to the emotions of not achieving what you want and the inability to get past it any time soon.
Heart-Shaped Hell – title track. It's not a good place but you're ok being there. Even within the chorus that describes the core feeling, between Juliette's voice and the arrangement, it's a terrible you can live with. The interlude is an electronic symphony sound is complex adds the perfect drama. Jonny provided guitar performance and string arrangement for this track.
Bring It On – is co-written with Radtke. It's actually a very pretty love song. It is the first time we hear Sean's voice which is a great contrast to Juliette's. As the song builds the harmonies backed by Jonny's guitar line along with the rest of the instrumentals emotes the courage and willingness of the subjects of the story to really try to make a relationship work.
Move With Me – another song about hope in building a relationship. Lots of electronica, some even have a hint of industrial but the "Move" is definitely a flowing motion. Like curtains in a warm summer breeze. This was the song from this EP that really got stuck in my head. I'm still humming it.
Tonight, February 27, 8mm will hold their launch show for Heartshaped Hell at Lucky Strike in Los Angeles, hosted by Soundcheck Live. 8mm takes the stage at 9 p.m. PST and admission is free.

Wildfires pose new threats as homes burn, releasing toxic fumes
As wildfires in California and elsewhere become the new normal, scientists are racing to learn the airborne health risks of the chemicals in our homes.
BySarah Gibbens
Should the fire light up in the right location, Ken Bein, an atmospheric scientist at the University of California, Davis, can deploy in just under an hour.
"I am in a state right now where my instruments are packed and loaded," he says. "It's just a matter of getting the truck and getting out."
Bein is scouting for northern California fires in regions referred to as wildland-urban interface, where residential areas bleed into undeveloped wilderness. Once he finds a location, his pickup truck will haul a 28-foot flatbed trailer with two smart cars into a spot where air pollution from a wildfire hangs thick. Atop his trailer he has all the equipment he needs to sample plumes of smoke rolling off the fires' massive blaze. They'll run automatically, powered by the electric vehicle's batteries.
"One of the first things to go is infrastructure," Bein says of the electrical power lost during wildfires. The batteries are his jerry-rigged alternatives.
The samples he collects will help scientists better understand how the massive increase in seasonal wildfires burning through residential areas might be affecting our health. Where smoke once contained the remnants of only biomass (trees and other organic matter), fires are now burning up homes—structures that contain thousands of synthetic chemicals, paints, plastics, and metals that smolder and combust into tiny particles.
"We see some striking differences in urban wildfires from one to the next," Bein says. "We have unspoken rules about not disseminating findings to the public [before they're peer-reviewed], but there are things coming out of the lab that are worrisome."
An emerging public health concern
Just like last year and the year before that, California is on fire. Since 1972, there has been an eightfold increase in the amount of land burned by summer forest fires. America's western forests have become more arid, and fire seasons have become longer.
Currently in Northern California, more than 76,000 acres—almost 120 square miles—have been burned over a week in the Kincade Fire and more than 725 acres have burned in the Getty Fire to the south. Hundreds of thousands of people remain without power amid widespread utility shutdowns. The Kincade Fire is about 65 percent contained at this point, but conditions are expected to worsen; the National Weather Service (NWS) on Tuesday released its first ever "extreme red flag warning," a designation that indicates winds will be high and humidity will be low, meaning that conditions are ripe for the fires to spread.
Intense seasonal winds are fueling the two largest fires—Kincade in the north and Getty in the south—and spreading smoke throughout the state.

The fires will leave obvious scars on the land, destroying homes and rendering some neighborhoods unrecognizable, but scientists are still researching how air pollution from these huge fires may make lasting changes to health.
When fires burn, they produce a mix of smoke and ash. Contained in that smoke is small particulate matter. Also called particle pollution, it comprises everything from acids, organic chemicals, and metals to dust and allergens that move through air during a fire. Depending on the intensity of a fire, they might make the air appear hazy, or they might not be detectable at all.
It's the fine particles that concern health officials most. The smaller the particles, the more easily they can damage essential functions, health officials say. Those smaller than 2.5 micrometers, about 5 percent of the width of a single human hair, can work their way into the respiratory system and may also cross into the bloodstream, where they pose a heart risk.
Immediate impacts from wildfire smoke
Since the fires broke out, several counties throughout California have experienced poor air quality as registered by the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality Index (AQI). For generally healthy people without underlying health conditions, exposure to wildfire air pollution looks a lot like an allergy attack. Sneezing, a sore throat, itchy eyes, and dizziness are all common.
Wildfire smoke is much more likely to immediately affect people who already struggle to breathe, like those with asthma. Children, the elderly, those with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women are also more likely to face medical complications. Local California news outlets have reported an increase in emergency room visits since the fires began.
During the historically large fires that swept through California last year, smoke reached the U.S. East Coast, where hazy skies were seen as far away as New York City.
This year, any smoke that could cause health issues will likely remain in California, says National Weather Service meteorologist John Pendergrast.
"There may be some trace amounts of smoke that move away from this local area," he says, but it's not "something that would be perceptible," he notes.
For California, a state that routinely struggles with poor air quality, the wildfires could exacerbate a public health problem, scientists say. Since the late 1980s, particulate matter pollution has been declining, except in areas where wildfires are on the rise. In that time period, climate change has made California hotter and drier, conditions that make wildfires less manageable.
Unknown long-term consequences
Air pollution is a known threat to human health. Around the world, it contributed to an estimated four million deaths in 2016. Complications with conditions like respiratory and cardiovascular disease are typically the culprits. However, long-term health impacts have largely looked at emissions from activities like vehicle traffic or burning fossil fuels.
"The possibility that there would be long-term consequences has not been studied in a systematic way for these large wildfires because they're kind of new," says Irva Hertz-Picciotto, an environmental scientist at the University of California, Davis.
When wildfires broke out in California in 2017, "I was trying to wrap my head around what could we do," she says. Quickly she realized few scientists had documented the effect California's growing wildfire threats might have on citizens in the long term.
They sent surveys out to those exposed to wildfire smoke and found that anywhere from four to 10 months out, some respondents were still experiencing respiratory issues.
Hertz-Picciotto and her team are hoping to publish a more detailed outline of their findings in early 2020.
Like Bein, she says, "We think that because of the synthetic chemicals used in our housing that there could be a lot of very volatile chemicals that are transformed through combustion."
Earlier this year Mary Prunicki, a researcher at Stanford University, published a paper that measured how wildfire smoke might harm the immune systems of children, who stand to sustain the most significant long-term damage from early exposure to dangerous wildfire smoke.
"We selected 30 children who had blood drawn after a prescribed burn or wildfire in Yosemite and compared immune outcomes," she says.
Blood samples indicated that children who were exposed to wildfires had impaired immune systems compared to those who were exposed to prescribed burns, a controversial fire mitigation technique that has been halted over health concerns in the past.
Prunicki says her study suggests only that there's still much unknown about the long-term effects of wildfire smoke and says it needs to be further researched.
It may be years before scientists fully understand how the West's growing and evolving wildfire threat is influencing human health, but all three researchers say they're eager to reach findings that can better help doctors treat those caught in the fires.

What Is the Lottery Winner University
According to the official product page, Lottery Winner University is a program which teaches you how to increase your odds of winning the lottery. In his books he gives you a formula, which is you use it will, supposedly predict the six numbers in your lottery ticket and so increase your odds of winning the lottery.
Or you could join the Wealthy Affiliate community and learn how to build a successful online business without luck involved.
All the information on his book is based on Lusting experience and supposedly he has been using this information over the past 20 years in which he won the lottery several times.
Lusting was working hard to build a career out of the fact that he has won the lottery numerous times. He has created three other products about the same topic before creating Lottery Winner University (Lottery Dominator, Lotto Decoded, and Auto Lotto Processor). A millionaire who knows how to invest his millions wise wouldn't need to crease several similar programs like these to profit.
Could you trust a man who has won the lottery 7 times and still need to push some low priced products like the ones mentioned above into the market when there's similar information for free online?
Some people have even left their jobs to follow Lusting.
How Much Does Lottery Winner University Cost
The program's price is $49 per month and it also has a 60-day money back guarantee.
The program has also two upsells: $255 + $7.99/Month.
For $49 a month you get a six-month training on winning the lottery. The way the training is composed is that after you pay for the first month and watch the videos you will have to wait until next month to unlock the training for the second month.
I have a felling that you might have to take advantage of the money back guarantee is you are already inside the members' area.
Although I have to let you know that the 60-day money back guarantee only includes your initial $49 for the first month and not the upselles if you bought them.
UPSELL 1: 1-ON-1 PHONE COACHING ($179)
If you buy this you are going to get access to phone calls with Richard for a whole month.
UPSELL 2: Richards top 10 Lottery Secrets eBook ($19)
UPSELL 3: Richards top Lottery Secrets Book ($39)
No, I didn't type this twice, these's some a different book.
The Lottery Winner University also has an affiliate program where people can sing up and earn by getting other people to buy the program, so be careful because you might find good reviews about this program, of people who are promoting it to earn from you buying the program.
Richard also has another new release called Lotto Annihilator.
But, does Lottery Winner University work? Read the following section to find out.
How Does Lotto Winner University Work
Lotto Winner University helps you to predict which numbers are more likely to win the lottery ticket and which ones to avoid. If you think this is impossible to predict, you're absolutely right.
Lusting himself has stated that in order to win the lottery you have to play big time. Yes, he has won the lottery several times, but no one is mentioning that he spend a great deal of the money he won buying other tickets.
Will This Program Actually Increase Your Chances of Winning
First of all I can't say that Lottery Winner University is a scam because it doesn't make grandiose claims. It seems like Lusting has learned from the criticism towards his other products.
For those who are doubting it, Richard Lusting has really won the lottery 7 times, there is proof for this on the internet and he has been featured in various times on the news for his lotto luck. So we can't say that this part is a scam.
All of his major wins are in the period 1993-2010. I can't find information on him winning any price after that time.
But if you are wondering if this program actually increases your chances of winning, the answer is no. There is an article about this on Business Insider, from a reported who investigated the method explained by Lusting.
The methods provided by Lusting do not make any sense. The bottom line is that you cannot cheat the lottery. Maybe the smaller ones you can… I don't no. But the bigger ones are completely random.
Richard Lusting has really won the lottery 7 times
Predicting the whole numbers of a ticked to win the jackpot is highly unlikely
Richard Lusting hasn't won a lottery since 2010
Does It Make Any Sense to Buy This
According to a statistics University professor, it doesn't. Lotteries are based on luck and it doesn't make sense to learn something which is not in your hands. You can learn to win drama competitions, dance competitions, but how can you learn to win the lottery?
We see training programs and "universities" of all kind, but it's the first time that I see a university which teaches his students how to win the lottery.

How I Make Money Online
I don't play the lottery, even that I would once in a while, but never liked the idea of things being based on luck. Instead I build an online business which is a more realistic way to earn money. I do affiliate marketing.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Rockets had the D part of the 3-and-D formula working all night.
They had kept themselves in the game, with defense and fired away until they could find their 3-point touch.
When they finally did, they hit five 3-poitners in the fourth quarter, surging past the Pacers, 98-94, pushing their winning streak to three games with their best win of the season.
The Rockets had taken a four-point fourth quarter, before Victor Oladipo went to work. He made a pair of free throws and nailed a jumper off trhe dribble just over Clint Capela's reach. After P.J. Tucker put in a corner 3, Oladipo did not hesitate, matching the 3-pointer he put in to beat Boston on Saturday, with another to tie with 54.8 seconds remaining.
The Rockets by then had begun to find the 3-point stroke that had eluded them all night. Harden made a sharp move to his right and nailed his fifth 3-pointer of the night, giving the Rockets a three-point lead with 34.8 seconds left.
The Rockets, however, had stayed in the game all night with defense. That was where they would have to win it.
The Pacers set a screen to allow Oladipo to work on Harden instead of James Ennis. Oladipo got a step, but Harden smacked the ball from his grasp for his fourth steal of the night. Paul was fouled and pushed the lead to four with 26.3 seconds remaining.
Oladipo immediately nailed a 3-pointer to pull the Pacers within one, but after Harden pushed the lead back to three, P.J. Tucket would not let Oladipo free for a clean look.
He missed his 3, and though Darren Collison was foul, he made just one free throw, allowing Harden to ice the win from the line.
The Rockets had spent most of the night misfiring from deep, even as they increasingly got good looks. By the fourth quarter, D'Antoni became so determined to find the usual shooting touch, he went with a small lineup, with Harden or Anthony matching up with Donatas Sabonis to fill the floor with perimeter players and fire away.
Initially, the Rockets kept missing, but when P.J. Tucker and Anthony put in consecutive 3-pointers, the Rockets tied the game. With the floor spread, Paul finished a drive for an 83-81 Rockets lead heading into the final five minutes.
The Rockets had made just 10 of 37 3-pointers, before finally hitting that pair. Those buckets were just a blip, with Harden, Paul and Anthony all missing.
The Rockets got off to a fast start, likely their best of the season, but much of that was with Harden and Ennis hot early. The problem was that as the half progressed, no one joined them.
While Ennis, Harden and Clint Capela were a combined 15 of 22, the rest of the Rockets made just 4 of 18 shots, just 2 of 16 3-pointers.
The Pacers limited many of the Rockets usual looks, extending the defense to the 3-point line. The Rockets got a few back cuts that way, but not nearly enough to make up for all that they were missing from the perimeter, especially when the Pacers offense picked up on the other end.
Still, the Rockets kept the Pacers in check long enough to be within two at halftime. With a lob to Capela and Paul's first bucket of the game, they went in front.
They had not yet come close to solving the Pacers defense.
Harden could dance on the perimeter to get off his 3-pointers. When the Pacers switched big men on to him in an effort to contest shots with length, he sent lobs to Capela inside. Other than that, however, the aggressive overplaying challenged the Rockets' 3-point shooting and forced turnovers.
Immediately after taking the lead, the Rockets turned it over on four-consecutive possessions and six of their next seven. Barely five minutes into the second half, the Rockets had 15 turnovers, more than they average per game, and the Pacers had their largest lead, 65-57.
Even when they began taking care of the ball, the Rockets could not find other reliable sources of offense.
By the end of the third quarter, Harden and Capela had combined for 38 points, but the shooters around them – Green, Anthony, Paul and Gary Clark – were a combined 3 of 19 on 3s.
The Rockets defended well enough against one of the league's most efficient offensive teams to stay in the game. Early in the fourth quarter, they even put up open 3s that would have given them a lead. When they missed, they kept firing away, with few looks better than the ones they were getting.
When they began making them, they pulled ahead and let the defense do the rest.

By Auren Freitas dos Santos
We deal with a number of disputes relating to exclusive use areas in sectional title schemes. The majority of disputes involve disagreements about who is responsible for maintaining and repairing these areas. The main reason for this is because it is often assumed that an exclusive use area (or EUA) is "owned" by a particular person and therefore that person is assumed to be responsible for maintaining and repairing "their" EUA.
This assumption is simply incorrect. It must be understood that an owner who enjoys exclusive use rights to an area of common property, whether registered or in terms of the rules, does not acquire "ownership" of that area, but rather an entitlement to use a defined part of the shared common property. In other words the EUA remains a part of the common property, and as such, all owners of sections in the scheme own these areas in undivided shares.
Because EUAs form part of the common property, the body corporate retains the primary responsibility to organise and carry out any maintenance or repair in respect of these areas. Therefore the body corporate cannot demand a person, who enjoys the rights to an EUA, to carry out the required remedial work. As with any other area of common property, the body corporate is obliged to carry out the remedial work.
It is important to note however, that although there is no obligation on the holder of an exclusive use right to maintain or repair the EUA, there is a financial obligation to reimburse the body corporate for costs of maintenance and repairs undertaken by the body corporate.
The Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act makes it clear that the holder of the exclusive use right is responsible for all of the costs relating to these areas, including the costs of repairs and maintenance, and it prescribes the manner in which these costs must be recovered from the owner concerned.
In Body Corporate of the Solidatus Scheme No. SS23/90 v De Waal, the court found that the intention of the legislature was to place the burden for the upkeep of EUAs where the benefit lay, in other words on the owner of the section to which those exclusive use rights were attached. The court found that it would be unfair to expect the other occupants in the scheme to contribute to the costs of repairs and maintenance of an EUA, in respect of which they could neither access nor derive any benefit from.
It is therefore clear that the obligation to maintain EUAs rests with the body corporate, while the cost of maintaining an EUA must be borne by the holder of the exclusive use right.
Should you require specific advice on how to deal with exclusive use areas in your body corporate, please don't hesitate to contact our consulting department at consulting@paddocks.co.za for a no-obligation quote to provide the necessary legal assistance.

You didnt mention the additional contribution that EAU holders have to pay
augmentum
This article should have been expanded on. Whilst you are correct, the article creates the impression that the BC remains liable in all instances. You should have included that the rules could be changed to place the obligation for maintenance on the party receiving the benefit. In such an instance levies that normally would be raised on the EU area for maintenance by the BC , would then fall away as the benefactor of EU area would take over that responsibility.

Who does not like to have a photogenic smile? Some are blessed with perfect natural teeth, while others can take the help of a dentist.


If you have ever taken the time to listen to our podcast you will have figured out that I am a big fan of Kevin Smith, John Hughes, Cameron Crowe-style, dialogue heavy story driven movies. Throw one of those coming of age end of summer type movies and I'll eat them up like a bowl of Shreddies (other cereals are available I just happen to be eating a bowl as I write this).
Pitching Tents is exactly this type of movie. Its 1984 its the end of the school year and Danny (Micheal Grant) has very little clue what he is going to do with his life past high school. Before he has to really worry about any of that he is having one last weekend at Trout Camp with his buddies. However, before his weekend can really begi,n he is cornered by over zealous guidance counselor Mr. Mulligan (Jim Norton) who has pretty much guaranteed Danny a place at a good college. Obviously though things are never that simple because Danny's dad (Eric Allan Kramer) has gone to the liberty of securing him a job at the local factory.
Torn between his passion for art and his desire to please his father, Danny has a tough life choice ahead of him. Of course that can wait because a weekend of smoking weed, contemplating life, trying to get laid lies ahead of Danny and his closest friends. You know standard Dazed and Confused territory.
You could argue that there is not really anything original in Pitching Tents and you would right, we have seen these movies before and often done better. However I personally felt the tug of war between Danny, his father and the Counselor is an interesting spin on the teen "coming of age" drama. Add to this the supporting cast of friends all hugely believable and relate-able with good turns from Disney alumni BooBoo Stewart (Descendants) as Todd and everyone's favorite child star Jonathan Lipnicki (who is all grown up nowadays) as Scott. Then there is the final third of the movie in which Danny is to make his choice and the movie shows a level of maturity rarely seen in this type of flick. Props to director Jacob Cooney on this count.
Pitching Tents is a recommend if these movies take your fancy, I know they are not for everyone but personally it ticked a lot of my boxes, and its always good to see what Lipnicki is doing these days. Oh, and then there's the soundtrack – a typical 80s movie soundtrack – but hey who doesn't love that!


Are you looking for a clever way to package your kids' snacks in their lunch bags? Butterfly snack bags are simple to craft and will make snacking on treats fun for kids of all ages! Check out the video on how to make butterfly snack bags.
1. Make the butterfly's antennae. First, take the clothespin and stick the pipe cleaner through the metal hole in the clothespin. Center the pipe cleaner, then twist it around to secure it onto the clothespin. This will prevent the pipe cleaner from slipping off the clothespin. When you are done, cut the pipe cleaner to the desired length.
Optional: Use markers to color or make designs on your clothespin.
2. Twist, curl or zig-zag the pipe cleaner to form a fun shape for the butterfly's antennae.
3. Next, glue on the googly eyes. Place a small dot of glue on the back of each googly eye, then secure the googly eyes to the butterfly clothespin. Let the googly eyes dry completely so they don't slide off when attaching the snack wings on to your butterfly.
4. Fill up two bags with your child's favorite snacks. Twist the bag shut before clipping each with the clothespin. Butterfly snack bags are perfect for school snacks, car trips and after-school activities.

Name: Alf, Richard
Historical Note:
Richard Alf, a co-founder of Comic-Con, was born in San Diego, California on January 26, 1952. He was an avid comics collector and at the age of twelve, began buying and selling comics through Rocket's Blast Comicollector (RBCC). In 1968, he published and distributed his own list of comics for sale. Two years later, he sold his mail-order business in order to attend the University of California, San Diego (1970-1972), and later San Diego State University (1972-1974).
In 1969, Alf met Shel Dorf. Together with a small group of other fans (including Mike Towry and Ken Krueger), they formed an organizing committee for San Diego's Golden State Comic-Minicon. The committee produced, promoted, and ran the minicon in March of 1970 with 100 attendees. It served as a one day test run for the larger three-day San Diego Comic-Con that was held in August of that same year. Alf used income from his comic mail-order business to help finance the venture. Both conventions were held at the U.S. Grant Hotel and emphasized comic books, science fiction, and film.
Alf became chairman of the second Comic-Con, which was held at Muir College on the UCSD campus in 1971. Under his direction, Comic-Con expanded its committee base by networking with other fandoms outside of the original mandate. The third Comic-Con, held at the El Cortez Hotel in 1972, had over 1,000 attendees.
In 1974, Alf created a new collectible comic book mail-order business, and a year later he opened Comic Kingdom, one of San Diego's first comic book retail stores. In 1976, he sold it to the store manager, and in 1978, he sold his mail-order business to Mile High Comics of Colorado.
From 1980 to 1992, Alf worked in advertising for several different companies, specializing in billboards. In 1989, he began a mail order baseball collectibles business, and from 1990 to 2003, he bought and sold pre-owned video games and systems through mail-order and retail sales.
At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, Alf and other early Comic-Con founders spoke as part of the "Secret History of the Con" panel, commemorating the 40th anniversary.
On January 4, 2012 Richard Alf passed away.
