Terry Deady says:
I agree that this is an inadequate design and should not be funded or
built. American architects could design something much more fitting
for such an historic man.
Ask the public to imagine the green leaves in Gehry's rendering are gone. Those computer generated renderings have a quality of a first-year architectural student quality. More they lied. If we take out the trees, there is nothing artistic.
Skip Davison says:
How does a man like Gehry who has probably never served understand the concepts behind a man like Ike?
Nick Homyak says:
Watched the Eisenhower Commission session on American History TV today; may it be said my agreement lies with the Eisenhower Family in support of the disapproval of the proposed Monument.
One must also be aware of the National Park Service in its present state of budget cuts and quasi-privatization attempts to diminish its true mission of Organic Act principals along with non-democratic corporate themes of American History. My humble opinion is that IKE'S statue at West Point is a fitting memorial; in all due respects although Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex he went along with allot of it and his predecessor JFK may very well have been murdered by it.
Being a veteran of the 82nd Airborne and a believer in the honor of the original intention of the American Army it is hoped the present design debated on American History TV today is defeated.
Michael Bobowski says:
I couldn't agree more. this design is a disgrace and unfitting of one of the worlds true heroes. they should consider starting facebook & twitter pages to spread the word, and have an online petition link.
Ike was in a tight fix with the anti-communist purge; sure he was not "afraid" of communism and its kinda of not an American things but lots of good human insights came from it; just do unto others and how much money does one need in life while others suffer. Promote prosperity create harmony, is that being a commie? Oh yes and love your Mother; Earth?
Send me your petition link my email is [email protected] Nick Homyak
This is a job for a Landscape Architect, not an Architect. That is the problem.
Sandra Gray says:
I am old enough to remember President Eisenhower through the war and through his presidency. I remember him as he was afterwards and with his grandchildren. President Eisenhower would not have understood or liked this memorial.
d. seiler says:
Everything about this design is bad, with the worst part being the crudeness of those involved…not just of the designer, but of the civic and cultural context that would permit such an approach toward conceiving and building a monument. It is flawed, because it is against the nature of what a memorial should be. There is no room for cynicism in memorials, especially one involving a man who was an icon of both the twentieth century and of the tragic drama that was World War II.
Congratulations to those who have stopped this flimsy, half-baked project – which future generations would have come to see, instead, as a memorial to the egos of those who planned it.
Congratulations to the Eisenhower family who have the character to see it for what it is and the courage to say something.
Bill Webster says:
This pathetic, egotistic ejaculation from Frank Gehry in no way captures Ike's outstanding qualities and contributions to America. Gehry's ego needs someone like Ike to guide his efforts more productively. Remember, Ike was able to channel the efforts of multiple prima donnas into a concerted, successful effort without fracturing the Allied coalition. He was able to draw down the Korean War while putting in place structures that contained Soviet aggression without further outbreak of war. While ensuring domestic peace and prosperity, he also had the courage to enforce Brown v. BoE. Sounds like a man who deserves far more space in out nation's historic memory than Gehry's personal attempt at self-gratification.
Skoubo says:
I am concerned that some of the recent memorials have been tributes to the artists rather than the person being honored. It is important to commemorate the person and their greatest achievements in a style that reflects the person and what they stood for.
It is not an easy task, but one that requires digesting all information available, and a keen ability to listen to those who knew the person best. This would include welcoming comments from the family rather than trying to push a design through.
I agree that this design does not reflect the character of Dwight D. Eisenhower and hope that other options will be explored.
Donna Schodroski says:
I agree with the family. The memorial should be more to honor the president and WWII leader of the troops. If he had never accomplished those things, we never would have heard of him. Honoring the "barefoot boy" doesn't make sense since he hadn't accomplished anything great at that time. It's okay to show his early years, but the memorial should focus on his presidential years and his war years.
D. Jeffrey Mims says:
The controversy over the Eisenhower Memorial presents an opportunity to correct what has been revealed as an ill conceived proposal. I support the objections of the Eisenhower family. Not only does this proposal fail as a representation of Dwight D. Eisenhower the President, it fails as a lasting public memorial, and it fails terribly as an addition to the national architectural heritage of Washington, DC.
As stewards of this cultural heritage the Commission ought to reopen the discussion of this design in order to seek a solution that distorts neither the classical tradition of its setting, nor the memory of a great national leader.
D. Jeffrey Mims
Director, Academy of Classical Design
Bob Sheridan says:
How about just the General and the paratroopers about to jump into 'the Nazi hell'. The blood of the men on the Normandy Beaches will be crying in the sand and the surf if this travesty goes forward.
M.MILLER says:
Pathetic design for a true American Hero. Why the delay in years to construct a Memorial to this man? The answer is simple, todays generation is a loss with ideas of political correctness.
Michael F Wilcox says:
I grew up respecting President and General Eisenhower. Those were the most happy productive years in American history.This is an insult to the man and more importantly the leader he was. The memorial in my opinion should highlight the leader he was. I will donate to have this garish junk removed from from implementation and a more appropriate one designed and approved.
Capt. Michael F Wilcox
John Connor says:
A memorial to a great american such as Dwight Eisenhower should be about revering the man, not revering the latest trend in art. The current suggested design in NO WAY represents the legacy of this man. It playfully, distastefully, trivializes his accomplishments. We're not talking about a fictional charactor in a Mark Twain novel. We're talking about Dwight Eisenhower, arguably the most iconic figure to come out of WWII and a 2 term President with numerous accomplishments. This is also, by all accounts, a man who's personal values and life are to be admired. After the current design was revealed, I cannot believe this is even be considered.
Alan R. Sanders says:
Gehry's design is a DUD!
J Comstock says:
You know the progressives will get their way on this since they eventually backdoor all of their ideas. There is a great statue of President Eisenhower at West Point, New York. I encourage everyone to visit it.
I say scrap the fiasco in Washington DC. He loved America and the freedoms handed and entrusted to us in our Constitution. I doubt he would want a statue of him in the progressive/socialist cesspool know as Washington DC.
Dr. A. Ray Miller says:
Here is the comment I posted to the Memorial Commission web site:
I believe your design concept for President Eisenhower is hideous and demeaning. To cast the Supreme Allied Commander, the person who liberated Europe from the Nazis, the person who led the forces that ultimately ended the Holocaust, and oh yes – who was also a two-term president, as (principally) a barefoot kid is absurd.
Yes I'm familiar with President Eisenhower's famous quote about his origins. That was a very sincere and heart-felt comment. We all know what he meant. But to highlight that personal comment as the marquee of his contributions to the nation and to the world is inappropriate.
Since Frank Gehry is quite an accomplished and acknowledged architect I'll chose to believe he is not guilty of artistic malpractice. Instead the only obvious conclusion is that he has deliberately engaged in historical vandalism.
J. Dickson says:
This image of the great war hero and president, Dwight D. Eisenhower is ridiculous. My father was a proud WWII veteran and a lifelong Democrat. The only time he ever voted Republican was for DDE, twice!! I am sure he was not voting for that dreamy-eyed barefoot child they have chosen to depict. Shame on them for not respecting the family and other PATRIOTS in their decision. They are obviously swayed by the left-wing art world and could care less about the importance of President Eisenhower's contributions to American exceptionalism. I applaud and support my CA congressmen, Issa and Lundgren in their efforts.
helen holmes says:
It truly is horrible and while Mr. Gehry may have done work that has been more successsful than this, his heart obviously wasn't in this project. It shows a tremendous lack of understanding why General and then President Eishenhower is being remembered on that mall and it is beyond insulting to the Eisenhower family and really to all of us who lived through that era.
You look at the Viet Nam Memorial Wall (which didn't need those soldiers in marble) or Daniel Libeskind's original version of the 9-11 memorial and you realize that both of those artists absorbed completely what had happened and both in different but artistically beautiful ways help us recollect in helpful ways complex but uniquely American monumements. One doesn't have to be born here to be sensitive enough to do all the due dilligence in the world before picking up a pencil.
Mr. Gehry whether he realizes or not, completely misrepresents what President Eisenhower who was a man of relatively few words, left us and made a profouond impact on those who would listen – and many of those who wouldn't.
I'd rather see just trees and flowers and some benches and a plain slate in the ground with the President's name and birth and death dates. At least that wouldn't offend the way all those horrible concrete pillars and piles of wire that look like the concentration camps the General liberated, did. Where was Mr Gehry's mind when he envisioned a small boy would would grow up to start the Civil Rights movement and to warn us clearly that war was a business that we ought to avoid. Mr. Gehry is almost celebrating the very things President Eisenhower did not.
Just say no and no more closed committees ever again should be permitted to select design memorials for Washington, DC. We saw what happened in the World Trade "open competition" and even that was fixed so that a single man with no vision was permitted to make a terrible choice when beauty was staring him in the face but he had no eyes to see.
Orlando Loli says:
Mr. Gehry has been accepted already as a good architect.
Why does he want to glorify himself more with this " grandiose" monument.
Our great hero President Eisenhower deserves a monument dedicated to him and his life, not to the "greatness" of others
M O Harris III says:
In the 1950's, I grew up as an "I Like Ike" grammar school kid.
For reasons too many to itemize, I'll just summarize, as follows:…
The designer, Frank Gehry, has taken unacceptable liberties with provable historic fact.
Because of this, I would defer to the Eisenhower family….in whole and not in part, and now, not later sometime.
…should've hired a LANDSCAPE architect. Gehry hasn't had an original thought in 15 years
CLester says:
I've sent out 5 angry letters to various officials regarding this garbage heap. This monstrosity not only ignores the L'Enfant plan it intends to destroy it as well. It completely disregards Washington's classical Greco/Roman design and replaces it with some bizzarre steel 'thing' that has no connection to Ike at all. Unfortunately for Gerhy not all of the public buys into hideous architectural design sold with psychobabble to gullible government officials. Keep up the fight people!
Russ Bohn says:
Here is the text of a message I sent to the Eisenhower Memorial Commission today:
I've read about the controversy about the design, and I've got some advice: back up. Never mind the design, just don't build it at all, if that's where you're going to put it. Regardless of the design, an obscure, out-of-the-way site is not worthy of the man just because it's presently empty and available. I fully understand that the Mall doesn't have room for everything, and I would go even further. We don't need to be building monuments to everyone and everything in the first place. That's so in addition to the fact that we've pretty much run out of space in the most suitable location–the Mall. This site reminds me of the obscure spot where the Robert Taft memorial was placed. Even though it's on the Capitol grounds, no one ever sees or bothers with it. So, my advice to you is to save a lot of money, and bag the whole idea for lack of an appropriate site worthy of this great man. Our memories are his memorial.
Bret DEDUBE says:
The presently proposed Eisenhower monument for Washington DC, as designed by Frank Gehry, is a complete disaster, however it may be well suited for Disneyland Park in Orlando commemorating the Donald Duck
Obviously it shows that the well connected Mr. Frank Gehry, with the extreme talent for self promotion, was selected because of his reputation as an architect who has affinity for exotic vogue shapes of limited life span that overpower the main function.
Many thank go to the Eisenhower family who have the co rouge and strength to protect the American public from the frivolous memorial design that is destine to have short life span and will fade rapidly into oblivion.
May I suggest that the NEW ESENHOWER MEMORIAL design competition be OPEN competition and the winner should be selected by a committee where the Eisenhower family takes active part and has the veto power.
PATRICK OWEN WILSON says:
In my estimation the idea that an architect should be given the task of creating a work of art is totally wrong. Architects design buildings and to expect an architect to perceive the simplest sculpture is to somehow understate the genius of Michelangelo, an exceptional artist. He was a great artist with the ability to understand the demands of architecture as well. Reverse the concept, and what do you get? A memorial like the one to Eisenhower should suggest that it is a place where one could go to reflect on the 'spirit of the man'. Any sculptural image placed there must reflect such abstract themes, such as strength and order. This concept cannot be captured in architecture alone. It requires an additional dimension like the element of free will and commitment. The right sculpture should provide all this and as a sculptor I have the perfect piece for your consideration.
John Van de Loop says:
http://www.world-architects.com/en/pages/eisenhower-memorial-approved
Just came across this 1 July 2013 article that the commission is moving ahead? Sad day. Do not agree with this design. Very frustrating they are not listening to the family.
Douglas Pratt says:
I graduated from Eisenhower College in 1974. The College was supposed to be the national memorial to Ike, and he said that it meant more to him than some pigeon perch in Washington. The Eighties killed off the College, and that's a shame; but it's more than a shame to proceed with this so-called memorial project. It's an insult.

Just Play's master toy line will also launch throughout Latin America from August 2017 via local toy distributors Bandai in Mexico, DTC in Brazil and Elite in the remaining Latin American territories.
Core categories including toys, dress up, publishing, partyware and back to school have been signed for the brand across the region by eOne's local office based in Sao Paulo.
In the UK, a swathe of new partners have signed up to the licensing programme with new ranges set to hit retail from summer 2017. These include VMC for accessories, Amscan for dress up, MV Sports for wheeled toys, Worlds Apart for homewares, Dreamtex for bedding and bedroom accessories, Spearmark for lighting and Sambro for stationery.

If you're a celeb or fashion junkie, you're probably aware that last night was the 2017 Met Gala in New York City. It was an evening when our favorite entertainers could flex their style and creativity muscles, and we were here for every minute of it.
And amidst the fabulous fashion, we spied Jennifer Lopez busting a move inside the Met Gala (while date Alex Rodriguez stayed totally seated), and we just found it so…relatable. J.Lo liked the music, wanted to dance, and…did. Regardless of whether anyone else felt like joining in. Oh, and she did it in a Valentino dress and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. NBD.
Take a look at this mundane, yet fabulous, moment.
GO GIRL! Because when you wanna dance, YOU SHOULD DANCE.
We know you want a better look at that gorgeous, light-blue Valentino gown, and we've got you covered.
She is also only the second designer to ever have a solo show featured at the Met (the first was Yves Saint Laurent in 1983). Basically, it was a worthy evening for a worthy designer, and we loved every moment of it.
Oh, and J.Lo — never stop. Just, never.

HomeTools & ResourcesInstitutionsInstitutional Reports
Self-evaluation is an integrated, ongoing process, meaning that institutions are dealing with all aspects of the Standards at all times. Self-evaluation helps institutions clearly see their strengths with regard to the Standards, but to also see in what ways they can improve. Each report builds on and informs the other reports undertaken by the institution.
Every accredited institution has a regular schedule of self-evaluation reports over a seven-year period. Additional reports may be requested based upon items or issues identified by the Board of Commissioners for more specific study. Electronic documents for all reports are sent to reports@nwccu.org.
Self-evaluation reports can take several different forms.
Regularly Scheduled Reports
Mid-Cycle Self-Evaluation Report
Conducted in the third year of the seven-year cycle, the Mid-Cycle Evaluation is intended to ascertain an institution's readiness to provide evidence (outcomes) of mission fulfillment and sustainability in the Year Seven. The Mid-Cycle Evaluation includes a visit by a team of evaluators to assist institutions in determining if the process of outcomes assessment will lead them to a successful Evaluation of Institutional Effectiveness self-evaluation and peer evaluation. It is intended to be a formative and collegial evaluation with the institution in conversation with the evaluators.
Year Seven Self-Evaluation Report
In year seven of the seven-year accreditation cycle, the institution conducts a comprehensive self-evaluation on all Standards and Eligibility Requirements. In doing so it also updates its response to Standard One to ensure its response to that Standard is current and relevant. Following the self-evaluation, it prepares a Year Seven Self-Evaluation Report for submission to the Commission office. These Year Seven Mission Fulfillment and Sustainability Reports include the institution's assessments of core theme achievement, mission fulfillment and student success and achievement. Year Seven Evaluations include an on-site visit by a team of peer evaluators. The institution reports are evaluated by the visiting teams and together with its evaluation and analysis of the institution's resources, including financial resources, stability and sustainability, serve as the basis on which the Commission grants reaffirmation of accreditation.
The Basic Institutional Data Form is a supplementary form that accompanies the Year Seven Self-Evaluation Report, and provides information and context about the institution to the evaluation team and the Board of Commissioners.
Additional Reports
Financial Resources Review (FRR)
An ad hoc report from the institution which may be requested by the Commission to address concerns related to institutional finances and/or enrollment.
Ad Hoc Evaluation or Special Report
This is a written Self-Evaluation Report to address one or more specified concerns communicated by the Commission. It may or may not require an on-site peer evaluation.
Reports for Special Circumstances
Initial Candidacy Self-Evaluation Report
An Applicant institution's comprehensive self-evaluation report that addresses all NWCCU Eligibility Requirements and Standards for Accreditation. The Initial Candidacy Self-Evaluation Report is submitted to the Commission for consideration of Candidacy. Initial Candidacy Evaluations include an on-site visit by a team of peer evaluators.
Interim Candidacy Self-Evaluation Report
A Candidate institution's comprehensive self-evaluation report that addresses all NWCCU Eligibility Requirements and Standards for Accreditation in a concise manner that reports updates since the last evaluation. The Interim Candidacy Self-Evaluation Report is submitted to the Commission for consideration of continuation of Candidacy. Interim Candidacy Evaluations include an on-site visit by a team of peer evaluators.
Initial Accreditation Self-Evaluation Report
A Candidate institution's comprehensive self-evaluation report that addresses all NWCCU Eligibility Requirements and Standards for Accreditation. The Accreditation Self-Evaluation Report is submitted to the Commission for consideration of Accreditation. Initial Accreditation Evaluations include an on-site visit by a team of peer evaluators.
The Annual Report helps the Commission monitor institutional trends and changes and provides a good deal of the data that the Commission makes available to the U.S. Department of Education. All member and candidate institutions complete an Annual Report each year in the spring. This report is in addition to the regularly scheduled reports that are part of the institution's seven-year cycle. The report asks for updated demographic information, IPEDS financial information, graduation rates, and information related to Title IV requirements such as student loan default rates.
Institutional report links and passwords are usually emailed to institutional liaisons in early spring.

Led the community effort to celebrate Economic Development Week in coordination with our economic development partners, GJEP and BIC. A video that can be used to showcase how businesses can take advantage of the resources we offer to grow is now posted on the website.
Defended the local business climate by legally challenging the Grand Valley Drainage District's fee assessment on businesses which resulted in individual businesses being billed in excess of $8,000. The matter is still in the courts. Our argument is that this is a defacto tax and subject to a vote under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
Graduated eleven new CEOs from the Young Entrepreneurs Academy ranging in age from 11 to 18. Each has launched a new business.
Served as the business voice on over 39 pieces of legislation introduced in the Colorado General Assembly and published a scorecard of how our local delegation voted on bills of importance to the business community.
Initiated business retention/expansion activities that resulted in visits to over 20 companies and the convening of two industry roundtables (technology and energy) that uncovered several expansion projects that have the potential for creation of over 250 jobs in the next 12-15 months.
Led the opposition on the Western Slope of Colorado to Amendment 69, a ballot initiative aimed at creating a single payer health care system by taxing businesses which voters will decide in the fall election.
Created the foundation for a new funding mechanism to underwrite Chamber business assistance programming known as the Total Resource Campaign.
Hosted three Business After Hours events, three Networking at Noon sessions and assisted 12 companies in accessing big data to identify and market to customers through a partnership with the Mesa County Library.


In May 2009, whilst three trustees were first in Kenya, they were told that one of the children's homes they had been working at was going to close down. This meant that the children were either going to go back to the streets or to unsafe family environments. This led them to begin fundraising on their return to the UK in order to find a solution to the problem. They returned to Kenya the following year and realised the only permanent solution would be to start a new home to look after these children. Once this had been decided they searched for a suitable plot of land and began construction on their first building.
They eventually opened their doors on 18th January 2012 with 8 children, 4 of which were from the original home and the other 4 were from a local street child rehabilitation centre that two of the other trustees had been working closely with. Since then they have continued to expand, thanks to the incredible support they have received back here in the UK. They moved location in September 2014 thanks to Orkid Studios, a charitable architectural organisation, who fundraised and built a new home. St Jerome's now cares for 32 amazing children.
There are thousands of children within Nakuru that are in need of help. Due to the high levels of poverty within the area there are huge problems with drugs, alcohol and HIV. This leads to children either being brought up in extremely unsafe environments or being orphaned and having to live with family members that are unable to care for them (normally elderly grandparents) or being forced onto the streets.
As the Kenyan government does not have the financial recourses or infrastructure to support this huge number of children there is a crisis developing with more and more children growing up within 'street culture'. The aftermath of the 2007 post-election violence, which displaced over 600,000 people, has only exacerbated the problem. The St Jerome's Centre is dedicated to changing the lives of these orphans and vulnerable children.
They rely purely on the generous donations and sponsorships of others. All the trustees are either currently studying or recently graduated and therefore do not have the money themselves to put into the project. As previously stated there is a huge number of orphaned and vulnerable children within Nakuru and the only limiting factor preventing the centre from reaching their capacity of 40 children is financial support. Please help.

Print screen of a google maps?
Got to be careful with copyrights.
Wondering if there is a 'tool' on my computer to create a fictitious rink to show its rooms etc..like on the back of a property's sale document in the estate agents window.
Just got some ex-Panthers who have agreed to being in the book also....good stuff.
Please don't put me as a cleaner!!!!
I just googled 'arena designs' and quite a few good images on there that you could use if you altered them slightly.
Will check all these ideas.
Have completed Introduction and draft copy of first chapter , only 13 to go.Gawd.
THOSE THAT CAN PLEASE EMAIL ME A PHOTO (not to be used in book) of you.So I am aware who you are.
I know Neil Thomas,John Searson, David Wright,Iain Dilley, Dave England,Chris Phillips,Geraldine Ellis,Chris Fielding but this doesn't stop you sending a head and shoulders pic that you like IF you want that one in the book on the characters page instead of me doing one.
The other 14 can do the same but I need a mug shot to ID you first.
All persons in the story line have now been phone called or PM'ed on here as regards these 'head and shoulder' pics that I do actually need now.This was going to be a job for later but find it will be better to get out of the way now.
As soon as possible please folks so that I can get back into writing.
Got a few 'well known's' shall we say from the past and present (from hockey) in agreement to join this venture.Bit parts for them and serious Oscar winning award parts for all you others from the Cage of course when this is made into a film.
Experience has taught me that when it really matters the only person you can rely on is yourself.
Mick, where's your email address?
Click onto my name and it will show all my details including email address.
Sorry it took so long to reply, I've been busy. I've already tried that , it shows up as hidden for me.
For anyone else struggling (as only received seven pics thus far) make sure your signed in first.Even I see it as 'hidden' until I log in.
Got to ask for the rest of the head and shoulders pics of yourselves for the book now.
It'd only show if you've said you want it to be visible Mick - when you log in and look, does it say "yourEmail@email.com (Hidden)"?
If it does, you can change that in Modify Profile - Account Settings - Hide Email.
You're right in that it's always hidden to guests, but it'd also be hidden to all users if you've not chosen to publish it.
Not hidden , just rechecked.
A recent PM or phone call has evolved in near all pictures I need folks but calling in shots please of.
Ex player or official personnel have no need to send pics.
many apologies for not sending mine yet, ive had a lot of other things going off recently which ive had to sort out and have completed forgotten about it. ill attempt to get it to you by the weekend at the latest.

Happy with it thus far.Eager to push on now.

With some help from our friends at the Friedman Foundation, we're wanting to help set the record straight and debunk some of the school choice myths. It is common for the myths and truths surrounding school choice to become mixed up in the fray of rhetoric and debate. The Friedman Foundation is a great source for data-rich answers to the most frequently asked school choice questions. They provide all of the research—meticulously sourced—so you can draw informed conclusions of your own.
FAQ #1: Does school choice have a positive academic impact on participating students?
Studies conducted since the late 1990s convincingly show that school choice is an effective intervention and public policy for boosting student achievement.
Twelve studies using a method called random assignment, the gold standard in the social sciences, have found statistically significant gains in academic achievement from school vouchers. No such study has ever found negative effects. One study's findings were inconclusive.
Random-assignment methods allow researchers to isolate the effects of vouchers from other student characteristics. Students who applied for vouchers were entered into random lotteries to determine who would receive the voucher and who would remain in public schools; this allowed researchers to track very similar "treatment" and "control" groups, just like in medical trials.
Highly respected random-assignment research has been conducted in five large cities: Milwaukee, Charlotte, Washington, D.C., New York City, and Dayton.
More on the Gold Standard Studies
FAQ #2: How does school choice affect public schools?
Positively.
Sound research has demonstrated consistently that school choice policies improve public school performance. More than 20 credible studies indicate school choice programs introduce more competition among all public and private schools, compelling them to work harder to attract and retain students. Not a single empirical study has found that outcomes at public schools worsen as a result of school choice programs, and numerous studies have found that they improve over time.
See the three recent research studies support this conclusion
FAQ #3: Does school choice drain public schools' funding and resources?
When students leave a public school using vouchers, the public school is relieved of the duty/costs of educating those students. Declining enrollment typically leads to a revenue loss for public schools, but this is true whether the departing students switch to a private school or another public school. This too has a financial impact on the public school—a positive one.
Funding for public schools is determined by state laws and is generally implemented through a complex formula administered by the state government. Those school funding laws define not only the amount of state funds provided to public schools, but they often control (or limit) the amount of local tax revenue which may be raised to fund public schools. In most states, a public school's revenue loss caused by an enrollment decline is less than its average instructional costs per student.
Thus, as enrollment declines, the per-student funding amount for the remaining public school students actually increases.
See the public data that supports this conclusion
FAQ #4: Can school choice help students with special needs?
Providing school choice to students with special needs allows families unhappy with their assigned public schools to find a program that meets their children's individual needs.
As of 2015, after 16 years of operation, Florida's John M. McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program, which is the largest program of its kind in the country, has more than 30,000 participating students.
Private schools are not typically highly selective, and many times are better equipped to educate students with disabilities.
Check out the common myths, facts and evidence that points to how parental educational choice will help families of children with special needs.

SCHOOL DISTRICT SALARIES
Are district staff and teachers underpaid? Some are. Take a look.
Warning: some of these will make you really angry.
Get the facts, read the research, and understand the history of the important issues related to school choice.
LET'S START A DISCUSSION
Please let us know if you have any comments, questions or suggestions. We'd love to hear from you.


Hearing loss can occur with anyone.
But one of the saddest scenarios are our young men and women in the military – the people who are willingly serving our country to protect us from harm.
Recent military statistics show nearly one in 10 soldiers returns from Iraq or Afghanistan with a serious hearing problem. Of the 1.3 million war zone veterans, almost 300,000 are now on disability due to damaged hearing or severe tinnitus. The cause? The same powerful roadside bombs that have accounted for so many American casualties.
Those bombs rupture eardrums and destroy the inner bones and nerves of soldiers' ears. Consider this: hearing damage can occur at 85 decibels; the noise level from a roadside explosion or firefight can be over 180 decibels.
Audiology Associates in Santa Clarita offers a variety of state-of-the art hearing products that can help restore a person's hearing. After all, your hearing is one of your most precious resources. It's a big part of what connects us to the world we live in.
If you are experiencing hear loss Audiology Associates is proud to offer the most current technology in hearing aids. And Audiology Associates is staffed by professionals who genuinely care about your hearing.
Patrice Rifkind, who leads the staff, received her master's degree in audiology from Cal State Northridge in 1995 and her drom the University of Florida in 2004. She is licensed by the state in audiology and hearing aid dispensing. Patrice holds certifications of clinical competence from the American Speech and Hearing Association and the American Academy of Audiology.

S/4HANA Finance – It's all about margins!
Within the past years, many wholesale distributors have become leaders in B2B e-commerce business. But today, web shops and an internet presence are commodities and new strategies for differentiation are required. Customer satisfaction and retention can be reached by additional services, but how do wholesale distributors stay profitable?
What if you can calculate your precise warehousing costs per product as well as the opportunity costs by replacing one product through another and decide flexibly on taking an order or project?
What if you can calculate a higher service level by increasing your safety stock and include this kind of insurance in your offer to your customer?
A precise cost calculation of logistic and service costs is key.
With S/4HANA Finance, a new level of transparency can be reached with the unified managerial and accounting journal, the universal journal. It is the foundation, with all data from different sub ledgers (G/L, assets, profit centres, controlling areas, etc.) coming together. So now, there is one line item table with full detail for all applications. Since all of the data is stored in one place as a single source of truth, and with the power of the SAP HANA data base, no pre-defined aggregation and no reconciliations are required. Aggregation is done on the fly, providing drill-down to detailed information for root cause analysis. Flexible and personal multi – dimensional reporting supports decisions regarding new customers, products and orders. The 2.5X faster cost postings go along with 86% faster real-time analytics according to SAP's Benchmarking Services.
Financial planning and analysis is now available in the embedded model of S/4HANA Finance without data replication.
Through either eliminating or accelerating batch jobs with SAP S/4HANA Finance, SAP moves companies close to having a soft close at any point during the month. Processes such as intercompany reconciliation can be run during the month, reducing the load at month end. SAP's Benchmarking Services saw 10 to 20% reduction in G/L & Financial Closing Costs and around 400 hours cut from period end close.
The new real-time cash management and forecasting provides a cockpit for Cash Managers to monitor critical KPI's in real-time including integrated liquidity forecasting, and Central Bank Account Management including overdraft limit analysis, bank risk analysis, signatory management and workflow support.
If you want to extend additional services in your organization, the receivables processes need to be ready to scale. In automated processes, S/4HANA Finance delivers high quality customer interactions with credit checks for every business transaction, up-to-date customer credit limits, workflows for dispute resolution, collections prioritization and synchronization between accounting / incoming payments and promised payments and open disputes.
Settlement management for rebates is a solution for all kind of rebates and also vendor funds to flexibly settle rebates calculated on various business volumes. The integrated posting into FI/CO allows a sharp view on the exact margin and working capital.
With an end-to-end integration into the ARIBA network, S/4HANA Finance optimizes the collaboration with business partners. The whole process chain is transparent and a detailed remittance processing can be automated.
The offering of additional services requires comprehensive key account management. With SAP Real Spend you can give your sales team a tool to manage their budgets actively. It allows the combination of actual, committed, approved and pending spends into a holistic view on individual dimensions.
The new Fraud Management in S/4HANA Finance combines a fraud database with expert knowledge and predictive manual rules, so that based on a fraud strategy and calibration, a fraud detection process, investigation and performance analysis can be executed. The whole end-to-end process can be automated including the approval and exception handling with real-time alerts and blocks. A fraud calibrator helps to run multiple simulations and with machine learning fraud processes and can be adapted to improve fraud detection.
All in all, S/4HANA Finance is the foundation, even for small and midsize Wholesale Distributors to adapt to new customer requirements with new profitable services.
Article starts with great TITLE and interestingly poised SCENARIOS but peters out with regular highly marketed S4 HANA features. Would be helpful if dots are connected.

Museu Nacional Arqueològic de Tarragona
Palaeo-Christian Necropolis and Museum
Francolí Early Christian Complex, the Basilica
In 1994, whilst carrying out the construction works of the Parc Central shopping centre, a section of a Roman road and the remains of various constructions dating back to the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD were discovered. The most important and best conserved ones, however, are from the 4th and 5th centuries. Faced with the difficulty of conserving these buildings in their original location, they were moved to the underground floor of Parc Central, where they can be visited.
The archaeological remains of the Parc Central site form part of the Francolí Early Christian Complex and would have been connected through a road with the remains that are conserved in the Early Christian Necropolis.
One of these buildings is a basilica, a Christian church consisting of three naves and an atrium, constructed in around 400 AD. Up to 200 tombs were found under its paved floor. At the foot of the central nave is the counter-apse, which is occupied by the tomb of a prominent individual within the community. The atrium, a courtyard surrounded by rooms, is unique in the Iberian Peninsula.

'Happily' a black comedy that starts with sizzle and ends with a shrug
Joel McHale and Kerry Bishé star as the married couple with a little too much wedded bliss, much to their friends' disgust.

We're at a party where a tall and handsome man makes eye contact with a stunningly attractive woman from across the room, and we can see there's an immediate connection between the two. Moments later, they're in the bathroom, engaged in wild and passionate coupling while an impatient partygoer waits outside. Why can't these two get a room?
'Happily': 2.5 out of 4
CST_ CST_ CST_ CST_ CST_ CST_ CST_ CST_
Saban Films presents a film written and directed by BenDavid Grabinski. Rated R (for sexual content, language throughout and brief violence). Running time: 96 minutes. Available Friday on demand.
As a matter of fact, they have a room; more accurately, an entire house, seeing as how they've been married for some 14 years. And yet they're still as hot for one another as they were on their honeymoon, much to the annoyance of, well, everyone they know. What is WRONG with this couple? How can they still be all over one another as if they're 14 weeks and not 14 years into a relationship? They almost never fight, they treat each other with uncommon respect and caring, and they have sex two or three times — a day. It's not natural and it's irritating and it's just plain weird, and somebody needs to do something about it.
That's the intriguing premise of writer-director BenDavid Grabinski's pitch-black comedy "Happily," which is filmed with unmistakable style and features an outstanding cast of familiar faces, but eventually unravels in a maddeningly unsatisfying third act that almost flaunts its unfinished business. There's nothing inherently wrong in leaving some things open-ended, but "Happily" opts out of giving us answers in such a flippant, off-hand manner that we feel betrayed for investing in the story to that moment. And that's such a shame, because there's so much promise in this premise, which plays like a weirdly sunny episode of "Black Mirror" or "The Twilight Zone," with various characters taking the verbal knives out and cutting as deep as possible even as they proclaim their friendship and love for one another.
Kerry Bishé is the gorgeous and warm-hearted Janet and Joel McHale is her chiseled and caring husband Tom, who is often seen shirtless, and McHale is in such great shape he looks like he could have been Ryan Gosling's trainer for "Crazy, Stupid, Love." Their constant displays of public affection and semi-public groping have annoyed their friends to the point where they're disinvited to a weekend getaway with the gang — and that's right around the time a mysterious stranger with the misleading name of Goodman (Stephen Root) shows up at their front door with two giant needles filled with a serum that will "normalize" Janet and Tom, i.e., correct the glitch in the Matrix and turn them into a typical married couple that bickers and has sex two or three times a month instead of two or three times a day.
Suffice to say things don't go as planned, but Janet and Tom get a last-minute invite to the weekend getaway at an enormous house which has a secret gun room, and that's never a good thing. Reliable comedic hands such as Paul Scheer, Natalie Morales, Breckin Meyer, Natalie Zea and Shannon Woodward play old and new friends who reveal dark secrets, jab at one another, get super drunk and process the fact a murder has been committed — or has it? "Happily" is filled with sly references to other films and some bitingly funny dialogue, but then we get to that aforementioned fork in the road where we're either going to find out what's really going on or everyone is just going to shrug their shoulders and move on, and the film suffers greatly for taking the latter path.

He is best known for the movies The Count of Monte Cristo (1934), The Man in the Iron Mask (1939), The Corsican Brothers (1941), Brewster's Millions (1945), Raw Deal (1948), Black Magic (1949), Witness for the Prosecution (1958) and Solomon and Sheba (1959).
Small was the son of Jewish Austrian-born Philip Schmalheiser and Prussian-born Rose Lewin, and had three sisters and two brothers. He began his career as a talent agent in New York City. In 1917, he moved his agency to Los Angeles. Among his acting clients was a young Hedda Hopper. In the 1920s the Edward Small Company produced stage sketches.

The Music of My Life
The music, both literal and metaphorical, that makes my world go 'round.
In Memoriam: David Cassidy
Like any number of kids around my age, I watched The Partridge Family on TV for some period of time in the early 70s (and likely caught reruns in syndication later). While the eight-year-old in me thinks the most memorable characters were Rueben Kincaid and Danny Partridge, the show was a star-maker for the guy who played Keith Partridge.
I certainly didn't idolize David Cassidy in his heyday, nor did I particularly follow his fits and starts over the ensuing decades. In reading about him last night and today, I see the chafing over the image created for him and the short- and long-term toll that substance abuse took. He wanted his own musical (rock?) career, but it seems odd to me that the path he chose toward that included covers of easy-listening hits like "Cherish" and "How Can I Be Sure" (great as the originals are). I remember "Lyin' To Myself" from 90; even though I only heard it a few times, it's a pretty solid number. But I wonder if that mini-comeback came about in large part because of Donny Osmond's success the previous year with "Soldier of Love."
I concede that the Partridge Family was mostly a vehicle for great session musicians to do their thing behind David's vocals (while not a strong voice, it's a lot better than that of other 70s teen idols, including his half-brother Shaun, Leif Garrett, and—shudder—John Travolta). But there is some great bubblegum stuff here. "I Think I Love You" is legit awesome, totally deserving to be a #1 hit. I like "I Woke Up in Love This Morning" quite a bit; my favorite, though, is "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted," perhaps due to its presence on side 1 of a certain K-Tel album.
When Martha and I were cleaning out the basement of her parents' house five years ago, we came across a few PF albums—she and her sister had been among Cassidy's legion of fans. One of the LPs was At Home with Their Greatest Hits, which was also in my house back in the day (making it one of the very few points of intersection in Martha's and my respective album collections). My suspicion is that Dad bought it because Amy and I regularly watched the show. I know I played it some in the first years we had it, but there aren't many songs outside of their four biggest hits whose titles stir any memories. The exception is "Echo Valley 2-6809"—I guess I was a numbers guy even back then? It's the outro that I really remember—a repeated recitation of the song title followed by, "I shoulda called that number"—although it sounds different when I listen to it today from what I thought I heard forty-plus years ago. (Edited to add: I meant to mention that in looking things up today that I discovered Rupert Holmes co-wrote "Echo Valley.")
I'm certainly sorry for the demons that he couldn't conquer. I hope that ultimately he was able to appreciate his contributions to some really enjoyable tunes. RIP, Mr. Cassidy.
I know I won't be the only one to post about him in the next few days; I'll include links to others as I come across them.

US wants India to use leverage with Russia against invasion of Ukraine
Sambad English Bureau Published On : Apr 1, 2022 at 9:15 AM
New York: The US is not seeking to change India's relationship with Russia, but wants it to use its leverage with Moscow to get the message against the invasion of Ukraine "loud and clear" through to President Vladimir Putin, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said.
"Different countries are going to have their own relationship with the Russian Federation. It's a fact of history; it's a fact of geography. That is not something that we are seeking to change," he said on Thursday at his news briefing in Washington.
"What we are seeking to do, whether it is in the context of India or other partners and allies around the world, is to do all we can to see to it that the international community is speaking in unison, speaking loudly against this unjustified, unprovoked, premeditated aggression, calling for an end to the violence, using the leverage that countries, including India, have to those ends."
Answering a reporter's question if the US had concerns about Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's visit to New Delhi, Price said that some countries "by dint of their longstanding relationships with the Russian Federation, are going to have in some ways even more leverage than countries closer to us will".
"And that is all well and good. We understand that. What we are asking for, what we are calling for is that all countries use the leverage that they have to make sure that that message is coming across to Vladimir Putin loud and clear."
Price side-stepped a question if the reported rupee-ruble trading arrangement between India and Russia would undermine sanctions.
"I would refer to our Indian partners when it comes to any such rupee-ruble conversion that may have been discussed," he said.
The response of the State Department, which has to deal with the strategic concerns of the US, especially with China, has been at variance with the more narrow outlook of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo who said that she was "deeply disappointed" with the reported rupee-ruble arrangement.
She said on Wednesday: "Now is the time to stand on the right side of history, and to stand with the US and dozens of other countries standing up for freedom, democracy and sovereignty with the Ukrainian people, and not funding and fuelling and aiding President Putin's war."
Western allies of the US that buying energy on a far larger scale than India have not been criticised for "funding and fuelling" the invasion of Ukraine.
Moreover, India's Minister of State for Petroelum Rameswar Teli informed the Rajya Sabha that the government did not have a "contract or proposal under consideration" for buying Russian oil in rupees.
In what is seen as a dig at fellow Quad member India, Australia's Trade Minister Dan Tehan, who was with Raimondo, said that democracies should work together "to keep the rules-based approach that we have had since the Second World War".
Price was asked if India did not use its leverage, would that have a negative consequence for the Quad, the four-member Indo-Pacific group of India, the US, Japan and Australia.
He said that the Quad's core principles behind the idea of "a free and open Indo-Pacific" transcend any geographic region and "we have a global interest in a world order that is free, that is open, in which countries large and small play by the rules".
"So it is not in our interest, it is not in Japan's interest, it is not in Australia's interest, or it is not in India's interest to see flagrant examples of countries – whether in Europe, whether in the Indo-Pacific, whether anywhere in between – flagrant examples of countries flouting, violating that rules-based international order."

There is no end to some Apple rumors. One such rumors talk about Apple taking over Netflix. According to analyst Samik Chatterjee, Apple has a growing hoard of cash and it should invest it in some bold acquisition in a media space. Netflix is a attractive target when it comes to making such a choice.
We think Netflix is best strategic fit on leading position in engagement level as well as original content, differentiating itself from pure aggregates of content. We believe there is value to acquiring the most successful player in this space, which is hard to replicate with a smaller player in this market.
After Apple's initiative for moving forward in the original content space, this is a decent idea. There were rumors about the launch of a TV streaming service by the company in April. So instead of starting afresh, Apple can take a leap forward in this competitive world.
WHY APPLE SHOULD NOT ACQUIRE NETFLIX?
Netflix is currently heading streaming services and its acquisition would make a huge splash. However, there is a high possibility that Apple will not consider this idea. Firstly, acquiring Netflix would cost Apple around$189 million. In Apple's history, $3 billion acquisition of Beats is the only huge purchase by the company.
Secondly, Apple can turn into a media company with a lot less money. With Apple's cash hoard, the company can simply invest in high end content and get an impressive selection of programming.
Would Netflix's acquisition by Apple turn out to be a bombshell development? There is still no evidence that this will work out. But the big question is if Netflix is interested in selling to some other entity at all!

Per il re e per la patria (King and Country) è un film del 1964 diretto da Joseph Losey.

Il regista statunitense di film e lavori teatrali, autoesiliatosi in Inghilterra per sfuggire al maccartismo, trasse il soggetto dalla pièce teatrale Hamp di John Wilson.

Fu presentato in concorso alla 29ª Mostra del cinema di Venezia, dove Tom Courtenay vinse la Coppa Volpi per la migliore interpretazione maschile.

Trama
Nel 1917 sul fronte occidentale della prima guerra mondiale a Passchendaele, dove sta per svolgersi una decisiva e imponente offensiva degli inglesi contro le trincee tedesche il soldato inglese Hamp, che da tre anni è in prima linea, viene colpito da choc  per la vicina esplosione di una bomba. Unico sopravvissuto, disorientato ed inorridito per la strage dei compagni che lo circonda, decide di tornare a casa dove scoprirà il tradimento della moglie. Mentre sta tornando in prima linea viene arrestato per diserzione e condotto davanti alla corte marziale.

Le gerarchie militari hanno già deciso che il disertore debba essere fucilato nel giro di ventiquattro ore per dare un esempio alla truppa prima dell'attacco ma per obbedire alle forme legali incaricano della difesa dell'accusato il capitano Hargreaves che cerca di sottrarsi all'inutile e spiacevole compito convinto com'è che debba assistere un vigliacco anzi, come gli appare dai primi incontri, uno stupido fortemente persuaso che tutto si risolverà con una punizione disciplinare.

Il capitano capisce da un lungo colloquio che Hamp in buona fede non si sente colpevole e che non è uno stupido simulatore che cerca di mascherare la sua viltà ma un ingenuo, incapace di mentire, convinto candidamente che il suo comportamento sia stato travisato.

Il soldato Hamp sarà fucilato dai suoi stessi camerati (molti dei quali poco dopo moriranno nella carneficina della battaglia di Passchendaele) e toccherà al suo difensore, il capitano Hargreaves, che ha tentato inutilmente di salvargli la vita, dargli il colpo di grazia.

Critica

Il film di Losey «è considerato, con Orizzonti di gloria (1957), il capolavoro del cinema antimilitarista del dopoguerra. Dramma-dibattito, è un film che oscilla tra l'opera a tesi alla Brecht e la ricerca visiva di Losey.»

Il regista riproduce lo spazio teatrale del dramma ambientando il racconto in un ristretto e cupo ambiente di trincea ricostruito in studio che genera nello spettatore un senso di oppressione e di clausura, accentuato dalla pioggia incessante e da cupi rimbombi di cannone in lontananza. Il fitto susseguirsi dei dialoghi tra Hamp e il suo difensore coinvolge lo spettatore che a poco a poco si sente quasi persuaso delle ragioni che il soldato porta come prova di quella che egli considera una semplice trasgressione.

Non ci sono scene di guerra come nei classici film del genere ma la guerra è comunque vissuta realmente nella follia e nel cinismo delle gerarchie militari che in nome del meccanismo del Potere non esitano a condannare un uomo alla morte affinché periscano altre migliaia di uomini.

In a two-part series Thursday and Friday, retired auditor Charles Hayward (full bio below) delves into the problems that led to a disastrous launch of the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange in fall 2013. Among the chief failings of state leadership: not addressing serious red flags when there may have been enough time to fix the root causes; not appreciating the monumental tasks assigned to limited resources; and (3) not selecting one IT expert to take leadership on the website's development.

"Cotopaxi's shape is the most beautiful and regular of all the colossal peaks in the high Andes. It is a perfect cone covered by a thick blanket of snow which shines so brilliantly at sunset, it seems detached from the azure of the sky."
Cotopaxi is without any doubt, one of the most beautiful mountains of the world. Due to its geographical position it has more clear days than any of the other high mountains in Ecuador.
Nowadays, it has become the most popular mountain not only of Ecuador, but of the whole Andes chain. In Quichua language the name Cotopaxi supposedly means the "necklace of the moon".
From the 4.800 m / 15,750 ft hut we ascend moderate glacier slopes to the summit. Along the way however, complex crevasse patterns and snow bridge crossings over deep crevasses make the climb interesting. After passing through a heavily crevassed area we reach the final summit slope. Here a challenging section of 35-40 degree snow leads to the abrupt finish of the climb on the crater rim of the world's highest active volcano.
The climb normally takes six hours and the descent two hours. The volcano's last strongest eruption was in 1877, and caused serious damages even down by the coast, hundreds of kilometres away.
The most frequently climbed mountain in the Americas.
The most accessible high altitude mountain from Quito.
Just 2 1/2 hours away from the capital city.
Strategic location over the "Avenue of the Volcanoes."
Although Cotopaxi is probably the easiest to climb of the high altitude mountains of Ecuador, it is still a challenging pursuit. Its altitude requires a very good level of acclimatization.
Our suggestion to our clients is to climb several other mountains that would provide them with the necessary acclimatization and a practice of the required skills. Following is a suggested list of ascents that are progressively higher.
