Schloss Halbau () ist ein Schloss in Iłowa (deutsch Halbau) im Powiat Żagański (Kreis Sagan) der Woiwodschaft Lebus in Polen.

Geschichte
Seit dem Hochmittelalter bestand am Ort vermutlich ein Wohnturm, der im Besitz der Herren von Kottwitz war. Im Jahr 1440 wurde der Wohnturm von Raubrittern von der Stadt Görlitz zerstört. 1626 ließ Christian von Schellendorff auf einer Insel in der Tschirne (Czerna) ein Schloss im Stil der Spätrenaissance mit drei Geschossen, vorgesetztem Risalit und Turmaufsatz errichten. Bemerkenswert gestaltet war der Haupteingang mit drei Rundbogenportalen.

Ab 1682 waren die Freiherren von Promnitz Besitzer, die 1712 das Schloss barockisieren und 1720 einen Westflügel anbauen ließen. Nach mehreren Besitzerwechseln war das Schloss u. a. in Besitz der von Kospoth, von der Recke und von Holleben. Ab 1902 war Friedrich Maximilian von Hochberg Eigentümer, der 1905 das Schloss nach Entwurf von Robert Weber umgestalten ließ. Der Mittelturm erhielt einen Zwiebelhelm, die Fassade wurde neobarock umgestaltet, dem Portal eine Stahlbetonvorhalle vorgesetzt, und der Westflügel erhielt einen Festsaalanbau.

Inspiriert von einer Asienreise, ließ Friedrich Maximilian von Hochberg den Garten mit mehreren Teilgärten umgestalten. Auf einer Insel in der Tschirne wurde ein Japanischer Garten mit kleinen Wasserläufen und Brücken zwischen Inselchen angelegt. Vom Schloss nach Westen erstreckt sich als weiterer Teilgarten der Chinesische Garten, begrenzt von zwei kulissenartigen Klinkermauern auf geschwungenem Grundriss mit runden und ovalen Fensteröffnungen, die an chinesische Mondtore erinnern sollen. Ein Weg führt zur Grenze des Gartens, wo eine Treppen- und Pagodenarchitektur als Fußgängerbrücke über eine Straße führt. Ein anderer Teilbereich war der von einer Ziermauer eingefasste Rosengarten. Ab 1919 waren die von Alvensleben Besitzer. Heute ist der Schlosspark umfassend saniert.

The 'E' in E-Learning is for Empathy
Posted on April 24, 2018 by Craig McDonald-Brown
The buzzwords we use don't always meet the values to which we aspire
Those immersed in the educational milieu of our time are well acquainted with the buzzwords that surround our practice. We hear these words in professional development seminars and workshops, at conferences, and in educational publications. Words like 'agency', 'self-directed', 'entrepreneurial' and 'risk-taking' are part and parcel of most graduate profiles. However, I believe we need to be careful what we wish for, because a quick glance at the daily news reveals certain spray-tanned world leaders having exactly these qualities!
The results of this are plain to see — ego run amok, 'othering' on a grand scale, division and disharmony, exclusion and exponential ignorance. The problem, of course, occurs when those competencies we so often champion, become radically divorced from the values that underlie our humanity. Empathy, compassion, manaakitanga, kotahitanga, and whanaungatanga. In a word, LOVE. THIS is where digital technology can REALLY be harnessed — not for dehumanising the Other, but for RE-humanising. Yet, how often do we use the word 'love' in our practice, and see it in our graduate profiles?
We are lucky here in Aotearoa New Zealand, as our own curriculum gives us license to develop these essential values:
diversity, as found in our different cultures, languages, and heritages
equity, through fairness and social justice
community and participation for the common good.
Inspiration from a past student
A 'Wow' moment for me occurred in 2016. In the local paper I saw a profile of an ex-student of mine. She had been year 8 when I taught her in 2009. In the article, she described how she experienced a fundamental pivot in life direction, which she attributed to learning about child labour in our class that year. This sparked her interest in global issues and development, and she was about to set off to Vietnam to participate in a water project. Hearing about this kind of thing is what teachers live for!
Inspired by this, I revisited the issue of child labour with my class at the time. We learned that through World Vision we could repay a family's debt and set a child labourer free for only $150! So, we came up with a plan. Our syndicate (about 100 children) divided into teams, each armed with a bucket, a 150-link metal chain, and some bolt-cutters. Each team headed off to a different part of Tauranga Moana — some in Papamoa, some at the Mount, some in Red Square, and elsewhere. Using graphic design posters made in class, we took this issue to the streets, inviting members of the public to contribute a gold coin, and to break one link of the metal chain. That morning we raised over $2000 — enough to set free 14 child labourers!
This was the inspiration for my 2017 eFellowship project, which looked at how global connection can increase children's sense of agency around making a positive difference. I had seen it happen before. Could we do this again and identify what it was about the experience that really changed children's hearts and minds. The context this time was around water justice.
eFellowship project around preparing students for a
meaningful future
Having spent time at school learning about the issues, I watched as the children articulated their learning passionately with members of the public all around Tauranga Moana, and we raised over $1300. And we knew exactly who would benefit — a small rural community in Kimilili, Kenya, and the school at the heart of it, the HIP Academy. This was a school I had connected with two years prior during another global project. This is how our learning was expressed in an authentic context of genuine need. The money went towards providing Bucket Filters, providing drinkable water for a community that previously relied on a single tap from a pretty muddy puddle.
For our learners, the very next day, to get back pictures from the HIP Academy, addressed to our school, thanking our learners for their help, really brought home to all of us that our actions can have a real and lasting effect on the lives of others.
The concepts of 'Droplets' became important to us. Yes, we may feel small, if we imagine ourselves as a single drop. In the face of the world and its problems, children really can feel quite small and powerless. But, who of us really doubts the power of those droplets when combined together, to create a tsunami of action and compassion?
What I hoped to highlight in my eFellowship project was that by making connections beyond ourselves, we make connections within ourselves and to our place in our world. These connections, combined with the values in our own curriculum, can be an incredible driver of change.
Agency and future-focused learning built on solid values
Agency is definitely one of the buzzwords we hear a lot, and I agree this one is super important. But, what does it really mean? Is it just a matter of a learner choosing when they would like to do maths, and where to sit? If it is, we are selling ourselves short, because student agency, when built on a rock-solid base in values, can have far reaching effects.
I often feel cynical during presentations about '21st century learning', or 'future focused education'. Who are we trying to create? Yes, the world is changing! The old model of education did seem to be on a trajectory towards university professorship, as though that were the ultimate outcome in the future of our learners. But nowadays, I wonder if the goal has become the creation of Silicon Valley start-up entrepreneurs. Are we really in the business of turning our learners into the next Tim Ferriss or Elon Musk? Is this any better than the old model?
Future-focused learning, if we must use the term, primarily needs to be based on values!
The future of the world we live in depends fundamentally not on whether our learners can code, app smash, and launch companies, but on being able to look at the world and imagine it better, and have not only the skills, but the values to make it happen: manaakitanga, kotahitanga, empathy, compassion and, yes, let's say it — love.
The power we have as educators
How easily we underestimate the power we have as teachers. Our classrooms are the seedpods of the future, like dandelion seeds on a stalk. To plant a seed is an act of hope. It is a truly future-focused act. I believe that in teaching we do the same — we don't know where the seeds will land, but we must carry this hope into our everyday practice.
We must remember that amongst the buzzwords, bells and whistles, our mission is so much greater than this. I've long thought the 'E' in 'e-learning' should stand for empathy — the recognition that there is no "Other", just sister and brother. As teachers we have the power to redefine, reconnect, and rehumanise the future. It is a noble calling, and we should rise to it!

eFellow research – student awareness of global issues from EDtalks.

eFellow research – student awareness of global issues
There are a number of things that provided the context for what we did. One of the main things was seeing an article in the newspaper last year and it was a profile of an ex-student of mine that I taught back in 2009, in a year eight class. And in the article, she describes that learning, which was about child labour, is a kind of a fundamental pivot in her life and actually the… what happened in her life following on from that was quite incredible. She went on to go to Vietnam and to Africa and to be constantly engaged in these projects, and she said that way of looking at the world really kicked off while we were learning about child labour. And so I invited her back to speak to our learners last year — year five and sixes — and that reignited that interest in learning about child labour. And, one of the things we found out was that for about $150 we could set a child labourer free by repaying the family's debt. And so, we got 150 link-metal chains, and we took them out into the streets in Papamoa, and Tauranga, and Mount Maunganui, and we invited members of the public to break the chains with our bolt cutters for a gold coin donation. That morning alone we raised over $2000, which was enough to set free 15 child labourers, and seeing the impact that that had on the children — knowing that they'd made such a real-world difference — that prompted my eFellowship inquiry.
And so, the inquiry is looking into, how does that sense of global connection activate children's sense of being able to make a difference, so, 'student agency' on a grand scale, I suppose, or 'student agency' that's personally meaningful in their lives. My students were year five and six, but I'm hoping that the things that we've uncovered and the patterns that we've found would apply to children across a number of different ages. And one thing I've found is that children are very motivated by issues of fairness. And, what I've found during the study this year was that towards the start of the study, when I was collecting student voice before we'd even started learning about the issues, their explanations about poverty, and the causes behind it, and what they could do were quite simplistic.
As we started to unravel the issues and learn more about it, they started to ask questions about why, why are there countries like this and our country is like this, and it's not fair, this concept of fairness came up a lot. And by the time we collected the final data towards the end of the inquiry, the students were really taking it on board and personalising, and their level of questioning got to a much deeper level, actually, and wondering what the implications were for their own lives. This year, we weren't looking at child labour, we were looking at the issue of water justice. And we learned that over 600 million people live without access to clean water, and if they had clean water we could eliminate 80% of disease in the world.
And so, so it was a different issue, but it raised the same kinds of questions. And, we'd previously made contact with a little community in rural Kenya in a village called Kimilili. And, so all the while we were learning about this water issue, when we finally went to take action in the streets again, this time around the water issue, the students knew exactly who they were helping and who they were raising the money for. And this time we raised $1,300, and that went towards providing bucket filters for the people in this village who, before that, didn't really have a source of drinkable water. And, I think that really showed the children that their learning carried into action can have quite an effect, and a long-lasting effect.
I guess what I've discovered is that children are thirsty for learning about global connection, and they're thirsty for that connection itself, and it seems to be an inherent motivation and engagement within that. I've found that children are naturally motivated by the concept of justice and fairness, and I think, as teachers, if we provide the context for learning about that, and it's an authentic context — motivated by a genuine need — then the rest seems to fall into place.
And that's when a story starts to come through of a student who, perhaps had learnt about this years ago, but the penny had dropped somewhere along the way, and they've made real concrete decisions in their own life that prioritise some of these issues around the needs of others. I had another boy who was in that group studying child labour last year, and then, this year, once all that was behind us, and just of his own volition, he decided to donate $150 of his birthday and Christmas money to set free a child labourer because he knew that he could, and he knew that's what it took, and he was happy to sacrifice his own money that he'd got from his grandparents and so forth to do that. And that, to me, is an example of the learning sticking, from one context, and not just forgotten and moved on to the next topic of inquiry, but it really seems to stay with them.
As a next step, I'd really like to inquire into the ability of these kinds of projects to develop empathy amongst children for whom empathy is a real struggle. I recognise that the children in my group were… were self-selected; they opted into the global connection group, and then my smaller subset within that, they put up their hands and said, "Yeah, I'd like to be involved", and so I did have children on my hands, I think, who were naturally outwardly focused, and who had a bit of that sense of empathy already. I'd really like to look at how we can create the context where children who … who are lacking some of the empathic mindset can start to show signs of developing that by connecting with people — other people — in the world, and especially those whose situations are less fortunate than their own.
I would definitely encourage my peers to apply for the eFellowship, and, in fact, I've done that in the school that I've just started working at. I think it's an incredible opportunity to connect with other teachers who think deeply about similar kinds of issues — to be exposed to different educational contexts around New Zealand. And, also have the opportunity to contribute and give back to the wider educational community through EDtalks, through uLearn, through the conferences, and just the relationships that we build.

Craig McDonald-Brown is the Deputy Principal and SENCo at Opotiki Primary School. He was an eFellow in 2017, where he looked at how global collaboration and connection can develop learners' appreciation of cultural diversity in meaningful ways, and enable a compassionate response to those in need. Making global connections can result in inspiring, authentic, meaningful learning, breaking beyond our own context to the world beyond. Craig is also really interested in how empathy can be developed in macro (global) and micro (personal) contexts, resulting in peaceful ways of resolving conflict and restoring relationships. Craig and his family live in Ohiwa in the sunny Eastern Bay of Plenty.

Tessa Gray says:
Ohh such a touching and poignant read Craig thank you. This speaks to me great because you're talking my people in our town and about being human in a very digital age. That's even more important now, where data can be harvested from social media channels to sway a judgement and create a vacuum of misinformation. There's a real need for our kids to be aware of the covert manipulation as well as realising the potential for good – where social media and digital tools can become a catalyst for change, solving local problems and righting some human wrongs. Giving our students opportunities to engage with real world issues as well as the guidance to be better 'morally situated' (access, equity, diversity, agency) in a global community, is something that sits well in a future-focused Curriculum. I see how this would also need to fit into implementing the new Digital Technologies curricula.
Craig McDonald-Brown says:
Thanks Tessa, really appreciate your feedback and encouragement. I feel the tension within myself too – sometimes I can't decide if we'd (I'd) be better off without the technology or not! But ultimately it's what we do with it, and as teachers we have a powerful role in setting the example to our learners. Electricity needs to be grounded eh?!
Carolyn English says:
Thank you Craig – this is such an inspirational example of young people being confident, connected and citizens of today through the guidance you provided by focusing on the values that are important to us all – empathy and love for fellow humans and the world we all live in. I'll be sharing your story with many others.
Thanks Carolyn, really appreciate you sharing this. There is so much potential for our learners to be world-changers – we just need to show them how easy it can be. Meaningful learning always sinks (syncs?) in the deepest.

Phil Collins goes Against All Odds by cheering for the New York Knicks along with sons Matthew and Nicholas... as the team lose their 10th game in a row
By Justin Enriquez for MailOnline

He may be known best from his iconic hits through the Eighties and Nineties.
But Phil Collins used those vocal talents for something else as he cheered on the New York Knicks basketball team in Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
The 63-year-old crooner was accompanied by his two young sons Nicholas and Matthew as they watched the home team fall to the visiting Detroit Pistons, 97-81.

No doubt it was a sad affair for the Against All Odds singer and his kids as they were quite animated while sitting courtside during the Knicks' 10th loss in a row.
Phil clapped, yelled and even made several gestures with his arms as he tried to urge the team from the Big Apple to not only break their losing streak, but also end the Pistons' three-game-winning streak.
The father-of-five was dressed comfortably on the outing as he donned a grey sweater, black trouser, specs and a silver watch.

The trio also appeared to be joined by a female friend who cheered along with the boys during the father-son bonding trip.
Last month Phil, who is also the father to actress Lily Collins, was forced to cancel his first performance in four years.
According to Miami.com, the In The Air Tonight hitmaker was overcome by a neurological affliction that strikes every so often.

The musician's last album was a cover album back in 2010, titled Going Back, as he did his own version of hits including The Supremes song You Can't Hurry Love from 1966.
It has been more than a decade since his last original release as he put out the album Testify in 2002, which featured the single Can't Stop Loving You.
Back in October, Phil reunited with his Genesis bandmates Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherfood in London.
The band got together for a special screening of the documentary centred around their band titled Sum Of The Parts.

The state agency MassDevelopment is giving developers until Jan. 30 to pitch their plans for 526 Main St.
MassDevelopment, the state's development arm, is seeking developers for a largely unused building at 526 Main St. in downtown Worcester.
MassDevelopment announced in August that it bought the 27,000-square-foot building for $800,000. The two-story building was built in 1894, according to a report to MassDevelopment by CSS Architects Inc. of Wakefield.
The building houses The Muse Bar & Kitchen and The Money Stop, a pawn shop and check-cashing business. Much of the structure was listed in poor condition in a report by MassDevelopment.
The state agency bought the rundown building as part of its Transformative Development Initiative, or TDI, investment program. Worcester is one of 10 Massachusetts cities in the TDI program, with each city receiving help with redevelopment plans.
Developers have until Jan. 30 to submit proposals for the site to MassDevelopment. A developer will be responsible for upgrading the building, said Mike Mitchell, a vice president for planning and development at the agency.
MassDevelopment has estimated necessary structural repairs, such as facade, roof and fire protection work, at nearly $2.5 million.
The Main Street site is one of several downtown buildings eyed for major redevelopment, mostly by the city through its new downtown revitalization plan.
A surface parking lot immediately across Chatham Street from 526 Main St. is eyed by the city as a potential site for a mixed-use building with first-floor retail and upper-floor commercial or office space. Next to that lot, the Denholm Building, which is largely vacant, is slated for commercial, retail and restaurant use.
Across Main Street, the Great Wall restaurant building at 521 Main St. and the adjoining MetroPCS building at 517 Main St. could both be bought by the city. The Worcester Development Authority voted in June to seek appraisals for the site as a first step toward what could be eminent domain use to take the properties for redevelopment.
A stretch of Main Street, including the part that runs by 529 Main St., is being overhauled with new paving, sidewalk and trees in an $11-million project.


The Last Line of Defense against the Otherworlds is the Deadstone Stronghold. This stronghold is the last barrier between Archlight and the invading Otherworlds Creatures. The Deadstone Stronghold will be a massive point of content in Archlight - Rise Of The Otherworlds, having over 10 quests, many repeatable quests, access to many locked areas, and a constant siege of Otherworlds Creatures from 4 different angles of the Stronghold, it is your job to defend the stronghold and ultimately defend Archlight.
By doing various things around and outside Deadstone Stronghold, players will earn Otherworlds War Points, which can be used to obtain powerful equipment from the Deadstone Smith. This equipment includes some of shown below in the teaser. This equipment is also used in chain to obtain part of the Goldencrafted Armors.
Launching February 9th! Reserve Your Character Name Now!
Moving forward, The Archlight team has decided to be more structured in terms of how we will release new content, fix current content and balance current content. After some discussing within our development team, we believe it would be very beneficial for not only us as a team (for better achieving deadlines and releases) but also for players (to know when to expect what and when to look forward to what) to start having planned releases and patches.
We somewhat tested this this past Expansion/Era by releasing patches virtually each Friday. Whether that was balance, new content, or fixing bugs. Moving forward, we will be continueing to do weekly patches on Friday's (Unless otherwise noted). Every week these patches will occur to fix up bugs (a primary focus), work on balance, and basic database backups etc. Once a month (Every 4th week/patch, so slightly more often than once a month) we will release a new content patch. This means new quests, dungeons, systems, expansion content, etc. There will be some times that we filter little things in here and there, but generally they will now be lumped into 1 large patch.
This not only allows us to plan in deadlines better, but it also allows us to put more focus into bug fixes and balances after a content patch, rather than moving onto next weeks new content etc. As well, it also allows us to have a more structured time to test content for bugs pre-releasing (something I feel we have gotten much better at but still have some room to improve).
It's that time again! Teaser #2 is of another one of the new Solo Dungeons! This being a multi-part dungeon with 2 very different themes.

Q: C++ Error: 1 unresolved externals , unresolved external symbol. How can I fix this? I'm trying to do a program where I input 3 values which are stored in an object and a fourth value which I generate from 2 of the other values and I store that object into a vector.
That problem is that I'm getting an error from the generateSignature() function and I don't know what the problem is. I think it might have something to do with how I declare the header file and the other .cpp file since I haven't done a lot of programming involving these. So I'm asking to see if anyone can see anything wrong with what I have done so far.
The errors i'm getting is:

Sa'dabad Palace- Saadabad Palace
Helpful information about palaces and museums in Iran like name, introduction, maps, requirements and...
by Samaneh » Tue Aug 20, 2013 12:37 pm
Introduction: The Saadabad Palace (Persian: کاخ سعدآباد) is a palace built by the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran in the Shemiran area of Tehran and currently official residence of the President of Iran.
The complex was first inhabited by Qajar monarchs and royal family in the 19th century. After an expansion of the compounds, Reza Shah lived there in the 1920s. And his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi moved there in the 1970s.
After the Iranian Revolution, the complex became a museum. However, the current presidential palace is located adjacent to the Sa'dabad compound.
Currently, parts of the Saadabad Palace compound are museums, in which visitors can roam through and look at the rich history of Iran, and some parts of the compound are used by the Iranian Cultural Heritage Organization which is responsible for most of the artifacts, locations, and cultural aspects of Iran. Also, the palace named "Kakhe malakeye madar" nowadays belongs to the presidency organization, and hosts the president's foreign guests.

Information for those wanting to work in the UK as a nurse
by NursingNotes
in Workforce
Anyone who wants to work in the UK as a nurse must first register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
The Nursing and Midwifery Council is the regulatory body for Nurses and Midwives in the UK. Anybody who wishes to practice and a Nurse or Midwife in the UK must first register with the NMC and hold a valid working visa.
You should start by reading the official guidance on joining the NMC register and information on applying for a UK working visa.
All Nurses applying for NMC registration must meet the standards of the NMC before they can be considered for registration. The guidance remains for the same for those working both within the National Health Service (NHS) and with a private organisation.
Nurses trained outside the UK and EEA
Nurses who trained outside the UK and European Economic Are (EEA) can registered with the NMC, providing they meet its standards. The NMC will compare the training in your country with that required in the UK.
The requirements for registration are different for nurses who trained in the UK and EEA to those who trained outside the UK and EEA.
Process for nurses educated from outside the EEA
Since October 2014, the only route to registration for all nurses trained outside the UK and EEA with the NMC is through a 2-part application process.
Part one – a computer based multiple-choice examination which will be accessible in many countries around the world for applicants to access in their home countries.
Part two – a practical objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) which will always be held in the UK.
This process does not require applicants to complete a period of supervised practice.
EEA nationals who have trained outside the EEA will not be eligible for automatic recognition of their qualification under the EU Directives as they have not trained within an EU member state.
All applications must include evidence of completion of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test. You must complete the academic version of the IELTS test and achieve:
at least 7.0 in the listening and reading section 1
at least 7.0 in the writing and speaking sections
an overall average score of 7 (out of a possible 9)
The NMC will not consider applicants who score lower than this standard.
Overseas-trained nurses holding EC Treaty Rights who have had their qualification recognised in another EU member state and have practised in the EU/EEA for three years, will continue to be processed through the EU route.
Nurses trained in the EEA
The NMC will compare the training in your country with that required in the UK.
Following the recognition of qualification, and before entry to the register, all applicants are required to supply evidence that they have the necessary knowledge of English.
Nurses who trained in the EEA who are not EEA nationals may be required to undertake one or both parts of the application process above.

Imagining a Hausa or Fulani wedding without the application of the henna is difficult. Although a trans-culture brought to West Africa, the henna application has been in the history books for at least a thousand years and according to some records, it arrived in Northern Nigeria as early as the period of the Roman Empire. And so, this age-long tradition has been embedded into the core of Northern Nigerian culture.
Also referred to as Laali by Northerners, the henna is not just a form of cultural expression but also self-expression. Modern brides also use their henna designs to show off their sophisticated taste. Abuja-based top makeup artist, Mamza Beauty has become one of the go-to henna artists for Northern elites.
Hausa and Fulani brides look forward to their Wuni or Sa Lalle which is when the henna dye is applied to the hands, palms and feet. The celebration is where a bride gets to spend her last time in her father's house surrounded by friends and family; thus it holds a lot of significance.
During this ceremony, a mixture of the dye is created and a design pattern chosen. The patterns and designs also carry meaning; for example, floral patterns are considered to be symbols of beauty, purity, rebirth and youth.
Once the pattern is settled on, the application process proceeds and the ceremony begins. Family members and friends are also allowed to partake in decorating their bodies with the henna but their designs are not as intricate as that of the bride's.
The importance of the henna application and the ceremony at large cannot be overemphasized. For a northern bride, that final communion with friends and family is the joy she would take into her new home.

Read our most comprehensive review of the 2019 Lexus Rcf standard features, trim levels, and available options. Additional new features for the 2019 Lexus Rcf include a heated steering wheel, and optional heated and power operated front seats on lower-trim models with cloth upholstery. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. In addition to the gas-only model, the 2019 Lexus Rcf is also available as a hybrid with all-wheel drive as standard.
In a 2017 comparison test that included the other cars, the 2019 Lexus Rcf placed fifth. Handling also proved to be another 2019 Lexus Rcf weak spot and we found the steering to be numb.
The 2019 Lexus Rcf, on the other hand, is a better package, as we noted in a 2017 First Test, thanks to its smooth powertrain and well-calibrated brakes that smoothly transition between regenerative and mechanical braking. However, since it isn't a plug-in hybrid, the 2019 Lexus Rcf doesn't have much EV mode range and can only travel around 0.5 miles on electricity.A rear view camera with rear parking sensors is now standard on all models.

Feds arrest suspect in ricin-positive letters sent to Obama, senator
Wednesday Apr 17, 2013 5:05 PM
The ricin-laced letters sent to President Obama and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker were both postmarked April 8 and sent from Memphis, Tenn., signed "I am KC and I approve this message." A third letter went to Michigan Sen. Carl Levin. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
By Pete Williams, Kristen Welker and Erin McClam, NBC News
Federal agents on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the mailing of letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator that initially tested positive for the poison ricin.
The suspect was identified as Paul Kevin Curtis of Tupelo, Miss., federal officials told NBC News. They said he may appear in court as early as Wednesday night.
Both letters carried an identical closing statement, according to an FBI bulletin obtained by NBC News on Wednesday.
According to the FBI bulletin, both letters, postmarked April 8, 2013 out of Memphis, Tenn., included an identical phrase, "to see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."
In addition, both letters are signed: "I am KC and I approve this message."
The letter to Obama was intercepted at an off-site White House mail facility and was being tested further, the FBI said. A federal law enforcement official said that the letter was "very similar" to one addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. Another letter was addressed to a Mississippi justice official.
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson confirms a suspect has been arrested in relation to the ricin-laced letter sent to a Mississippi judge. Johnson adds that there are "great consistencies" between this letter and those sent to President Obama and Senator Wicker.
Curtis was arrested at his home in Corinth, Miss., at about 5:15 CT, after an investigation by federal, state and local agencies.
In a news conference Wednesday night, Lee County, Miss., Sheriff Jim Johnson said a Mississippi judge on April 10 received and opened a typewritten letter -- postmarked from Memphis, but without a return address -- that included "wording that was of interest," as well as some "suspicious content."
Johnson said there were "great consistencies" between the letter received by the Mississippi judge and the letters directed to Wicker and President Obama. Tests are being conducted on the letter sent to the Mississippi judge to determine whether it was tainted with ricin, Johnson added.
The FBI is assisting the sheriff's office in the investigation to determine whether the letters were sent by the same person.
Johnson would not identify the suspect in custody, adding that local authorities are waiting for results from the federal laboratory before filing any state charges.
Two federal officials said late Wednesday that an initial laboratory test on the material in the letters was inconclusive. The test shows some level of ricin, they said, but the potency is uncertain. They cannot tell whether the material is actually harmful or not, so more tests have been ordered.
Wicker released a statement Wednesday, thanking authorities for their help.
"Gayle and I want to thank the men and women of the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police for their professionalism and decisive action in keeping our family and staff safe from harm," the statement read.
"My offices in Mississippi and Washington remain open for business to all Mississippians. We particularly want to thank the people of Mississippi for their thoughts and prayers during this time."
The sender of the letters, one official said, "may have stumbled onto something," but it's unknown if he actually made the full-blown ricin toxin.
Ricin is made from castor beans and can kill within 36 hours. There is no antidote. Some threatening letters simply contain ground castor beans, resulting in a positive field test for ricin without the concentrated poison. Results from full laboratory tests are expected in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Filters at a second government mail screening facility also tested positive for ricin in a preliminary screening Wednesday.
An FBI official told NBC News that the agency did not initially believe the letters were related to the attack on the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Authorities also for a time cleared the atrium of a Senate office building Wednesday, removing suspicious envelopes and a package, before reopening the offices. Capitol police were also investigating a suspicious package at the office of Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala. Shelby's staff had not been evacuated.
The Wicker letter had no return address. The FBI confirmed the preliminary positive test on it Tuesday. That letter was intercepted at a postal facility in Maryland that screens mail sent to Congress, and never reached Wicker's office.
Other senators were made aware of the Wicker letter during a briefing Tuesday evening on the bombing in Boston. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that the person who sent Wicker the letter writes often to elected officials.
People can be exposed to ricin by touching a ricin-laced letter or by inhaling particles that enter the air when the envelope is opened. Touching ricin can cause a rash but is not usually fatal. Inhaling it can cause trouble breathing, fever and other symptoms, and can be fatal.
At a hearing Wednesday on the Postal Service's finances, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said that while there have been ricin scares in the past, the recent discoveries were unprecedented.
"There's never been any actually proved that have gone through the system," Donahoe said. "But we've got a process that we make sure that our employees know -- We can actually track the mail back through the system to double check from an employee health standpoint."
Field tests are conducted anytime suspicious powder is found in a mail facility, and the FBI cautioned that field tests and other preliminary tests can produce inconsistent results. When tests show the possibility of a biological agent, the material is sent to a laboratory for full analysis.
Robert Windrem, Kasie Hunt, Kelly O'Donnell, Richard Esposito, Jeff Black, Mike Viqueira and Dr. Kristina Krohn of NBC News contributed to this report.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story misidentified the suspect, based on information from federal officials.

The Major Difference Between Black Male and Female Voters
Black male turnout for Trump wasn't indicative of the president's successful outreach efforts, but rather the long-standing relationship between this voting bloc and the GOP.
By Leah Wright Rigueur
Many Black men who voted for Trump did so in spite of Trump. (Mark Makela / Reuters)
Since the years following the New Deal, when the majority of Black voters left the Republican Party, Black men and women have turned out in spectacular numbers for Democrats in presidential elections. No other racial group has been as consistent for the Dems. This year's contest was no different; roughly 90 percent of this bloc cast ballots for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President–elect Kamala Harris. In the words of the activist and Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, "Black people won this election."
But in the past four years, numerous Black Republican figures, as well as a handful of Black celebrities, have endorsed President Donald Trump or expressed a willingness to work with his administration. Almost all of these endorsements have come from men, reflecting an on-the-ground truth: 12 percent of Black men voted for Trump in the 2020 presidential election, while just 6 percent of Black women did the same, according to the AP VoteCast survey. Considering that the Democrats' dependence on Black voters is only growing with each election, the party can't afford to ignore the diversity of opinion that exists within this bloc, particularly between women and men.
The two concepts—that Black men are among the most loyal backers of the Democratic Party and that they are more likely than Black women to vote for Republican candidates—are not mutually exclusive. And they reveal significant insights into differences between Black voters, differences that aren't built on the Trump campaign's superficial outreach efforts. Many Black men who voted for Trump did so in spite of Trump. For this small but intriguing group of voters, this election was a homecoming of sorts: a return to their long-standing, pre-Obama relationship with the Republican Party.
The number of Black men supporting the GOP in 2020 may be disorienting for some, especially because Trump has been outspoken in his disdain for a number of issues of concern to this bloc—particularly the Movement for Black Lives. But men have been the drivers of Black support for the GOP for nearly a century, as my research on Black Republicans has shown. And although some Black women have embraced Republican politics, they are still the demographic group least likely to support Republican candidates.
Read: Searching for the Black Trump supporter
The election and reelection of President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 are the only points in recent history where we've seen Black men's support for the GOP bottom out. In 2008, for instance, 95 percent of Black male voters cast ballots for the nation's first Black president, according to exit polls. But as the glow of the initial Obama years faded, some Black men drifted back into the Republican Party, while others joined anew.
Based on my findings, this attraction to the GOP can be partially explained by the fact that Black men tend to prioritize presidential candidates' individual attributes, including race, personality, and experience. That's why a small subset of these voters saw something attractive in Trump, regardless of his racism: His hypermasculine, anti-establishment, pro-capitalist rhetoric compelled them to support him. Given that most Black men believe that both the Democratic and Republican Parties are racist, it makes sense that some of them respond enthusiastically to broader GOP cues that stress the failure of American institutions. Republicans are adept at cynically exploiting a fractured political system that many Black men, irrespective of their politics, believe doesn't have their best interests in mind.
In the Richard Nixon era, for example, Black newspapers complained bitterly of "Black men singing" the gospels of the GOP. That any Black person would support a man who represented the "evils of white America—racism, capitalism, treachery, imperialism, arrogance, and deceit" was shocking, wrote the editors of the New York Amsterdam News in the early 1970s. And yet, approximately 23 percent of Black male voters did just that in the 1972 presidential election. Those Black men who cast ballots for Nixon did so primarily for financial reasons, pointing to the president's economic agenda and his emphasis on entrepreneurship and "Black capitalism." These voters also expressed a hard-line belief in the idea of two-party competition, arguing that an exit from the Democratic Party would force both parties to compete for Black votes.
Black men dropped out significantly from the GOP with Ronald Reagan's ascent to the presidency in the '80s, but he still managed to grab about 13 percent of their votes. Similar to Nixon's efforts, Reagan's campaign focused heavily on financial matters, advocating for a "Black-owned, Black-operated philosophy," and lobbying for states' rights as a means for Black communities to "take back" their neighborhoods through cooperative economics. Reagan's team focused on shifting the political dialogue away from conversations about race and racism, instead highlighting preexisting tensions between Black voters and Democratic politicians. The goal was to denounce them as ineffective and indifferent to Black voters, while simultaneously highlighting aspirational but vague ideas about tax cuts, unregulated capitalism, economic growth, and jobs in Black neighborhoods. Though these political overtures appeared to represent community interests, voter enthusiasm for them reflected a kind of individualism rooted in exploiting economic gains for one's self. In actuality, the majority of Black voters saw their life outcomes worsen during the Reagan era. Still, the president managed to maintain a certain level of support from some Black men.
By comparison, Black women tend to reject Republican propositions. Historically, as the Brennan Center for Justice's Theodore R. Johnson and I have argued, this group has been resistant to GOP appeals precisely because their political decision making is rooted in policies that benefit the public interest. For Black women, voting is an act of collectivism: They vote as an impenetrable bloc, with slight variations due to class, socioeconomic background, and geographic region. The AP VoteCast survey estimates that 93 percent of Black women supported the Biden-Harris ticket, a gendered distinction that far exceeds the parameters of any one presidential election cycle (they also voted in fewer numbers than Black men in the Nixon and Reagan contests: 14 percent, then 9 percent and 7 percent, respectively).
This doesn't mean that Black women have embraced their chosen party without critique. Like Black men, they express feelings of being left behind by American political institutions. But these women largely focus their energies on transforming their relationship with the Democratic Party, pushing reformist agendas, or trying to make the institution more radical, as opposed to leaving the party altogether. This year, for example, despite little support from the Democratic National Committee, Black women helmed grassroots organizations such as Fair Fight Action, the New Georgia Project, and Black Voters Matter that were ultimately responsible for the Biden-Harris victories in swing states.
Furthermore, when Black women view a policy as harmful or racist to the community, they'll reject that initiative, regardless of the personal advantages it could yield. A clear-eyed example of this is the way that a higher percentage of Black women—including those who are wealthy and upper-middle class—were unmoved by Trump's economic initiatives aimed at Black communities, such as the Platinum Plan (which was touted by the rapper Ice Cube). Many Black women view these proposals as disingenuous, light on detail and implementation, and ultimately ineffective at combatting systemic racism for the collective community, even though on an individual level, something like rampant tax cuts might actually benefit them.
Despite this, the 2020 election has shown us that even in the midst of chaos and record levels of voter turnout, old trends have a way of reestablishing themselves. As Democrats look to the future, they'd be wise to reinvigorate their relationship with the backbone of their party. Highlighting the racism of certain Republican candidates has never been enough to guarantee Black votes, and it's certainly not a viable long-term outreach strategy when Black audiences are growing more disillusioned with both parties.


I would not use the sentence on how Union changed my life, instead I will use how the teacher's training had transformed me into another deeper self.
Before taking the Yoga instructor training course, to me yoga is more like transforming my body rather than transforming my mind. Previously, attending yoga classes was just a form of exercise to burn off the fats and get into the desired poses that I have always been fascinated in.
During the practices, I have always wondered how to become a yoga instructor and so I decided to sign up for the yoga instructor course even though I have to sacrifice my precious beauty sleep during the weekends.
After the 2nd week of the yoga training, I began to feel more inspired to be a yoga instructor. To me, it is no longer about the physical training as yoga is much more than this. The theory behind it makes it very interesting, especially the 8 limbs of yoga, skeleton, body muscle.
Every week after my lesson, I feel like an onion beginning to peel layer by layer, letting me learn more things about myself that I did not know existed within me.
Anatomies, muscles and alignments, are one of the layer being peeled during the Asana practice. Suddenly " momentous breakthroughs". Some Asana I have been trying so hard on it and it just comes alive.
The beautiful Asana changing in the most beautiful way even though I know I will feel the pain the following day, I will still persevere and continue to have more breakthrough moment of discovery.
200 hours Yoga instructor training not only changed my life and my personal practice. It makes me wonder how many more layers I have inside me that I have not discovered. Even after this yoga teacher training course, I will still continue to search my deeper soul through the yoga journey.
After going through this yoga instructor training , I felt more disciplined, healthier and happier.


Lately I've been revising what will be my second novel, A MAP OF HEAVEN. This novel has rich significance to me because it is the first novel I wrote after my father passed away eleven years ago and because, to this day, it remains my favorite novel. It's also a book that I've revised and sent out several times over the years, always to no avail.
Last month, when I unpacked one of the many bound versions I had packed away in storage, I hadn't looked at the manuscript in over five years. In fact, because I've gone through so many computers in that time, I found out that I didn't even have a complete version of my longest draft of the novel on my hard drive.
This means that my revision process has entailed working from one version I have on my hard drive, while referring to a printed version that is twice as long, trying to figure out what has been left out and needs to be added back in from one page to the next. Oh and I've decided to change the POV from first person to third. Don't try this during cocktail hour.
Yet, as I work through the manuscript page by page, I come across sentences and images that I know so well that I find myself smiling as I type the words. I love them.
There are moments when I wonder why I am so obsessed with working on this novel yet again, when I have already failed so many times to get it right. Ultimately, the answer is that the subject matter is incredibly important to me. Interestingly, I can see in my mind's eye the book as it should be, what I want it to be. My greatest desire is find a way to bring that image to reality.
Last week I picked up the May issue of More magazine and read an article by Kathryn Stockett on how she spent eight years editing THE HELP, along the way enduring sixty rejections, before it was finally accepted and published. I understand Ms. Stockett's passion for her story, because I've come to realize that it is the same love I feel for MAP.
Embracing that epiphany makes this latest and hopefully final revision a joyful journey. I'd even wager that it will be just as joyful even if it isn't.
Do you have a writing project that you just can't get out of your mind?
YESYes. I can't think what it is now but I know I do. Like wise picture to paint and sound to make. Weird, huh?
(clapping my hands) What a great post - you can feel your enthusiasm from it. I'm thrilled for you!
This must be very "wow" - looking at this again after so many years. I always have a bunch of projects going - sometimes leave them for months at a time, then go back ... And I look at the work I did 5 years ago and usually say P.U.
Interested in another pair of eyes?
Larramie.....yes. Actually, after I get this edit done, I'd like to hire an editor.
One of the great things about going back to an old piece was realizing how much I had grown as a writer.
You've taken the advice to "set your finished project aside for awhile before going back to edit, in order to look at it with fresh eyes," to the max, LOL! Truly though, this has my own writing experience written all over it. The beauty of picking up that long ago writing project is that in the interim you've generally learned a lot better perfected everything about your writing style, so if there are things you still love about your oldie projects, it's often well worth jumping back in and getting to work putting the polish on the apple.


It is HOTT outside! It rarely gets all humid and sticky like it does out east, but right now Vancouver is going through a little heatwave and I'm not used to all this humidity. Cooking just isn't an option. Yesterday we were invited to a bbq and I decided to whip up a salad. Unfortunately, I wasn't very inspired to make anything new (I blame the heat), but somehow after checking out what the local market had out for sale, I knew I couldn't let all that natual goodness go to waste. Armed with green beans, fresh corn on the cob, cucumbers, parsley and other yummy vegetables, I whipped up a salad that is the epitomy of summer in a bowl. Colourful, crisp, fresh and healthy, this salad was a delicious barbeque accompaniment and I'll definitely be making this again.
The key to this salad is to keep everything bite-sized. Not only does it make the salad look extra pretty, but it makes for a tastier mouthful!
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans. Blanch until bright green and tender-crisp, about 1 minute. Drain and add to ice water to cool. Place green beans into bowl. With a sharp knife, remove the kernels from the corn cob and blanch for 2 minutes in salted water. Drain and cool. Add corn to bowl. Add remaining vegetables and parsley and mix.
2. Make dressing. Combine lemon juice, honey, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Mix until thickened.
3. Toss dressing into salad and serve immediately.
Yum! Green beans are so good this time of year.
it really was, crystal! i couldn't believe just how colourful it all was.
i agree, rachel! i can't get enough of all the green beans. i think they're my favorite vegetable.
this looks so good! I want it right now!
That looks so amazing. I should go out and pick some green beans right now! Thanks for the recipe.
as summer draws to a close, i'm searching for ways to savor summer flavors – this looks fresh & delicious! cider vinegar + radishes = count me in.

While most states are looking at record breaking snowfall and blizzards, Arizona is already starting to think about summer. Temperatures in the Gilbert area have already landed in the 80s, and it is only February. When it comes to needing cooling service Gilbert locals know and trust Honest Air. Our goal is to save you money and keep you cool this summer. Here are a few simple ways to save on your cooling costs this summer.
Have your HVAC unit serviced. Call us to schedule your seasonal air conditioning maintenance visit. One of our AC technicians will inspect, clean, and lubricate your unit. This will help ensure that it is running at peak efficiency and keeping your home cool without costing more than it has to.
Change your filters monthly. Dirt, debris, and allergens can build up in your AC filter. The more that builds up, the harder your unit has to work to keep your home cool. Working harder means less cool air for more money. Replacing your filters monthly during the cooling season will keep your unit running at its best.
Use pleated filters. Speaking of filters, replace yours with pleated high efficiency filters. They are the best filter you can buy and use less electricity to cool your home.
Use your ceiling fans. Your fans create a breeze and can make a room feel several degrees cooler. They cost significantly less to operate than your air conditioner does, so take advantage of them to stay cool and save money. Just remember that fans do nothing to actually lower the temperature so they are only effective when you are in the room to enjoy them. Turn them off when you leave a room to save electricity.
By following these four easy tips, you will save money on your electric bill this summer without compromising comfort.

While training for his acting role in the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian, Arnold Schwarzenegger stunned the bodybuilding world by unexpectedly coming out of retirement and entering the Mr. Olympia contest one day prior to the event and after having trained for only eight weeks prior. Having placed second to Haney the previous year, Dorian Yates won the competition six straight times from 1992 until 1997. I was one who did not conform, and whose will could not be broken.

From 1974 until 1979, a dual weight division system was used, splitting competitors into two categories: "Heavyweights" (over 200lbs) and "Lightweights" (under 200lbs). However, Schwarzenegger came back in 1970 and won the competition, making him the youngest ever Mr. Olympia at the age of 23, a record he still holds to this day. Razalean Review: Self-proclaimed no. Months before the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest, filmmakers George Butler and Robert Fiore persuaded Schwarzenegger to compete, in order to film his training in the bodybuilding documentary called Pumping Iron. As such, Zane was able to defeat opponents who exceeded his own muscle-mass but lacked his level of muscular definition. At 5 ft 10 ins and 240 lbs[2] Oliva, nicknamed "The Myth", displayed an unforeseen level of muscle mass and definition, including a "V" shape of a large and a well-formed upper-body that tapered down to a narrow waist. His bodybulding victories included five Mr. Universe (4 – NABBA [England], 1 – IFBB [USA]) wins, and seven Mr. Olympia wins, a record which would stand until Lee Haney won his eighth consecutive Mr. Olympia title in 1991.

Immigration law firm Siskind & Susser have stated that Schwarzenegger may have been an illegal immigrant at some point in the late 1960s or early 1970s because of violations in the terms of his visa. [2] During his acceptance speech, Arnold acknowledged how close the decision was, saying "I have to be very honest, that this was the highest level of competition that I have ever faced in any competition in my life".[1]. While not as physically massive as previous competitors such as Schwarzenegger, Oliva, or Ferrigno, Zane developed his physique to highlight symmetry aesthetics and definition. Schwarzenegger (who was supposedly training for his "Conan" movie) had been a late entry into the competition, and his competitors did not know of his intentions to compete. Schwarzenegger also became good friends with professional wrestler "Superstar" Billy Graham. At school, Schwarzenegger was apparently in the middle but stood out for his "cheerful, good-humored and exuberant" character. Many audience members booed as the results were announced. Shawn Rhoden defeated Phil Heath in 2018, snapping Heath's streak of seven victories. The following year, Franco Columbu was victorious for the second time.

Gustav served with the German Army as a Hauptfeldwebel of the Feldgendarmerie and was discharged in 1943 after contracting malaria. He would come in second in the Mr. Universe competition, not having the muscle definition of American winner Chester Yorton. In the aftermath of the competition, many of the competitors, including Frank Zane, Coe, Mentzer, and Walker, vowed to boycott the 1981 contest. Unlike the 1975-1979 Mr. Olympia contests which had two weight divisions (above and below 200lbs), this contest had no weight divisions, returning to the 1965-1973 format where large and small bodybuilders competed directly against one another. RESULTS: 2020 NPC National Championships. Schwarzenegger did not attend his funeral. The year 2019 is the year the 55th Joe Weider's Mr. Olympia will take place.
