I have recently completed a big project for a Korean company that had me proofread French subtitles for some of SBS Dramas that will be released in France soon. I will be writing another article about the hoops and woops of making sure that the French subtitles are accurate enough when coming from Korean language later. For this one, I would like to talk about what I noticed when working on those dramas.
First off, let me be upfront. While I was grateful for the opportunity, I was also worried about having to work with a type of content that is labeled in my mind as poor writing hidden behind screaming Z list actors.
Oh boy am I ready to repent. I have discovered much more nuanced, well executed and beautifully shot work that I didn't know existed in the realm of Korean dramas. The acting was great and the entire experience gave me such a thrill that I naturally turned my writer/filmmaker brain on to try and analyse what I was looking at. It will be hard to be specific with names of shows and specific situations within the shows as it is unclear how much I can voice my involvement with these projects just yet. So this article will mostly be about general concepts and quirks that I noticed.
The Essence of Korean dramas
The more I watched and the more I wondered how characters kept on jumping in and out of each other's lives. Was it forced and simply the writer's way to create drama when there could have been none? There is nothing I like less than having a writer shove things in a character's life just for the sake of plot. However, it was such a recurring pattern that I tried to identify and understand it. So here is what I have come to understand.
Each drama has an origin story. That story is what binds the characters together and puts them on a collision course, and for drama to occur, characters must collide. Both the origin story and the collision can be events or themes and all the characters are linked to this event or theme in opposing ways.
For instance, an event can be an accident that tore a family apart. The characters on the collision course then can be surviving members of that accident, people who caused the accident, politicians who are involved in the reason for the accident to have occurred, and also maybe journalists who covered the accident and blamed the wrong people, etc.
As for theme, it could be something like "pain." A man who has a disease and can't feel pain becomes a doctor that specialize in pain treatment and life sustaining procedures. A woman who has caused pain to someone close to her in the past works in the same hospital as the doctor. A new drug is released on the black market to relieve pain and ultimately help in euthanasia procedures. The head of the hospital is in a vegetative state but unplugging him means a whole lot of inner political turmoil. Oh and euthanasia is illegal of course.
Whichever technique is used, it must be inevitable that all key characters in the story collide and they must do so because they find themselves having to face the relationship they have with the origin story and the characters who stand on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Sticking to a Concept Even When It's Ludicrous
I have seen two types of concept management in Korean dramas: the infuriating type and the stick to your guns type.
There was a show a few years back called "Secret Garden." The concept was that a stunt woman and a rich careless man ended up exchanging bodies, with her mind getting into his body and vice versa. Through this exchange, they both had a chance to see each other's problems and they were forced to collaborate to make sure that their respective lives wouldn't fall apart. Great concept, made for some fun moments and great character empathy. However, barely halfway through the show, they switched back and then it became a traditional love triangle story. Infuriating.
Another show called "Pinocchio" uses a simple concept: there are people in this world who can't lie. If they do, they have sudden hiccup that betrays their lies. Those people are called Pinocchios. Now, this concept ran the entire span of the show even when it became ludicrous. Entire parts of the plot were based on the fact that no one ever doubts the words of a Pinocchio, not even considering that they may be mistaken- mistakes are not lies- or ignorant of a thing or another. If they say something then it must be the absolute truth. Ludicrous and plot convenient but I did respect that they stuck to their guns.
One extra bit of jellybean on top of that *stick to your guns* type is when the concept is both used for the plot and for bits of comedy. Here is a moment that made me laugh in the Pinocchio show:
Female lead talks to male lead about how it is not the right time for them to be together and that there is too much that stands in their way.
FEMALE LEAD: Don't worry about me, I can manage my feelings for you.
Hiccup.
FEMALE LEAD: Nope, I can't.
She leaves.
Supporting Characters are Usually Funny
The core of drama lies with the main characters. All of the supporting characters are either used for exposition, transition or comic relief. I found that every-time a very intense scene would end, we would cut to a set of supporting cast that would bring some relief to the audience. They equally share their actions between servicing the main plot and other plots that had no impact on the main story.
So the idea here is to have a set of supporting characters that provide a break between big emotional scenes. This works especially well on ensemble shows that have teams of characters. It may not work as well when the show is especially focused on two to three characters.
The Creep Factor is Sky High
There are many instances where the difference between romance and crime lies in the fact that all the key characters in Korean dramas are played by very good looking people. If you were to replace the actors by people considered to be less attractive or with visible quirks, a lot of the scenes would flip on their heads
For instance, one of the shows I worked on had one of the female leads follow the male lead on the street for a long while, looking at him with love filled eyes and mimicking his "cute" behavior making sure that he doesn't notice her. Go ahead and switch those two, having the man follow the woman, lower his attractiveness factor by half, add a small visual quirk- his shoulder is a little jumpy due to a wound that never healed- and underline the entire thing with some anxiety triggering music.
Characters in dramas are creeps but they get a pass due to their extreme attractiveness.
One Hour Run Time is a lie
Most Korean dramas clock out at about 60 minutes of runtime per episode. That includes an incredible amount of flashbacks of scenes that played in the previous episode or earlier in the same episode. That tells me two things:
Showrunners feel the need to remind the audience of things that happened to make sure that they understand what's coming. By doing so, they are looking down on their audience, thinking that they are unable to recollect something that happened within the past hour. I understand replaying something as a memory when it happened 5 episodes ago, but 5 minutes ago? I don't think so.
Showrunners are desperately filling up time because Korean dramas are essentially 20 hours long films. It can span from 16 to the shortest to 34 or 40 for the longest but let's stick to 20 hours. They are not seasonal but instead have a fixed number of episodes to tell one full story. It's hard to write a 20 hours film and constant flashbacks are a way to up the running time with less content.
Here, on a side note, I discovered that drama actors delivery is actually very slow and there is a lot of useless dead time in dialogues. I was playing everything 33% faster while working to speed up my output and found that a lot of the dialogue was flowing better and the jokes were hitting harder. However, playing dramas in this way does break the tension when characters have to run from one dramatic situation to another. A 33% faster run is not dramatic, quite the contrary.
I will conclude here with two quirks that were more funny to notice than anything else.
Equation for Traveling Time to the Airport
There is a simple equation when making characters travel to an airport, especially when it comes to Incheon International Airport, the biggest in the country and the most logical one to use when traveling overseas. When leaving from any parts of Seoul- where most dramas are shot- the equation goes like this:
Time of the day + (traveling time*number of hours required for nightfall) = time of arrival.
Airports are expensive to shoot at and insanely busy during the day, so all airport scenes in Incheon are shot at night.
Chatrooms Delete all the Messages Automatically
We all use phone messaging and we all know how it works. There is never an empty chatroom when chatting with someone on regular basis, and yet, in Korean dramas, chatrooms are always empty except for the message that just comes in. That allows the audience to see the message with the collateral effect of getting a feel that everything is fake. The only times I saw a long line of messages is when said line was important to the plot. It is all very utilitarian and realism isn't the priority.
There you have it, a few of the things that I witnessed and learnt when working on this project. I am hoping to get more of those in the future as it was not only interesting but also eye opening. After 10 years in Korea, I had come to the conclusion that Korean dramas were the imaginary land of screaming bad acting and love triangles but I discovered that there was more to it. I may even stretch as to make some recommendations in the future.

Thailand Runs a Laughable Farce of an Election
By: Pithaya Pookaman
The long-awaited certification of Thailand's election, which makes it certain that junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha will return as prime minister, makes it doubtful whether the new regime, the beneficiary of a rigged election, can earn acceptability either at home or abroad and bring back much-needed confidence that is imperative for an economic turn-around.
The military regime may be capable of extending its power beyond the election by means of constitutional provisions and arbitrary power. But the election is a charade that owes little to the idea of parliamentary democracy.
As expected, the Pheu Thai Party, linked to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, in self-exile since 2008, won most Lower House seats with 136 — which in rational parliamentary democracies would give it the right to seek a coalition to govern. Pheu Thai was followed by the junta-aligned Palang Pracharat Party with 115 and the youthful Future Forward Party (FFP) with 80. The Democrat Party, Thailand's oldest political party, has had to swallow its pride with only 52.
The official disclosure of the results by the EC came amid numerous allegations of flawed election tallies by the commission, which apparently was plagued with poor management and inefficiency. The commission subsequently failed to explain allegations of irregularities in vote tabulation including the invalidation of an astonishing 1.9 million ballots. Ballots cast in some provinces far exceeded the voter turnout. The recounts, three in all, in Nakorn Pathom Province, for instance, produced three different results.
The commission's shortcomings were compounded by confusion and indecision as to which formula should be used to tabulate partylist MPs. In the end, it opted for a controversial formula which awarded smaller parties that did not meet the electoral threshold set forth in Article 91 (4) and Article 128 (4) of the Constitution. This resulted in the loss of 600,000 votes, an equivalent of 7 MPs, by the Future Forward Party, which has become the darling of Thailand's young and which belongs to the pro-democracy front.
Along with the Pheu Thai Party, it has led the attempt to prevent the continuation of an authoritarian regime headed by Prayuth.
The results of the election have sprung no surprises as they were played out as choreographed in the 2017 constitution and its enabling laws. The constitution was crafted by a junta-appointed drafting committee with the prime intention of maintaining the junta's stranglehold on power for a foreseeable future.
The constitution was hurriedly bulldozed through a referendum without free public debate or scrutiny by the opposition. Its main thrust was to weaken the fully elected 500-member legislative branch while strengthening a malleable judicial branch and "independent" organs such as the election commission and the counter corruption commission which are anything but.
The political parties, with which the people could interact, were also weakened with the aim of denying the dominant Pheu Thai Party which still won a majority in the Parliament as shown despite being denied even a single party-list MP.
To guarantee the continuation of the junta's grip on power, the constitution provided for a wholly junta-appointed 250-member Senate to give a nod to the junta-nominated candidate as prime minister in a 375-member bicameral Parliament.
On the other hand, the Palang Pracharat Party, of which Prayuth is the candidate for Prime Minister, only needed 125 votes in the Lower House to secure his prime ministerial seat as the 250-member Senate duly appointed by the junta is expected to vote for him en masse in a joint parliamentary sitting.
As an added bonus, the Palang Pracharat Party could well bring the Democrat Party, the Phumjai Thai Party, the Chart Thai Pattana Party and other smaller parties into its fold to form a razor-thin majority in the Lower House to afford some measure of stability for the government.
The junta's attempt to rig the election didn't end with the writing of the constitution and the election laws. Armed with the arbitrary power provided in Article 44 of the interim constitution, the junta made good use of the state apparatus during the pre-election campaign to harass opposing politicians, mainly from the Pheu Thai Party, in many constituencies, while intimidating people who supported rival pro-democracy political parties which were running against the pro-junta parties.
One of Pheu Thai Party's leaders, Snoh Thienthong, complained that he was intimidated by local authorities when the police surrounded his house in Sakaew Province where his son was running under the Pheu Thai Party banner.
The pro-military parties had a head start in campaigning even before the announcement of the decree for the holding of the general election. Electioneering was already in full swing long before that and was often disguised as "roving Cabinet meetings" in provincial towns with the injection of state funds into local development projects as well as the "Pracharat Project" from which the junta's nominated party, the Palang Pracharat, derived its name.
Just three weeks before the general election on March 24, the Constitutional Court dissolved the Thai Raksa Chart Party, one of the offshoots of the Pheu Thai Party, on the heels of the controversial nomination of Princess Ubolratana as prime ministerial candidate. It is generally believed that the court's decision was at the behest of the junta and the 'establishment' comprising Thai oligarchy and big business conglomerates.
The loss of Pheu Thai's sibling party dealt a considerable blow to Pheu Thai and the pro-democracy front in their effort to prevent the pro-military political parties from winning the election and extending the junta's stranglehold on power after the election.
The government under Prayuth had the prerogative in employing the full weight of state power and state funds to help it win. There were accusations that the regime was giving free handouts just days before the election. In addition to allegations of vote buying, military-controlled state agencies are said to have purchased polling stations outright as this was considered more effective than vote buying.
This was done by paying election committee members in charge of the polling station and the polling centers throughout the country. These committee members could numerically alter or falsify the election results in favor of the pro-junta parties, particularly Palang Pracharat.
Vote buying was also allegedly supplemented by recruiting local administrators such as village headmen or elders, heads of district and sub-district administration organizations in various provinces to cooperate with the military government by means of cash incentive to coax the electorates to vote for Palang Pracharat. It is alleged that each sub-district was given a reward of Bt100,000 in cash for its service. There are numerous allegations of soldiers being deployed across the country for indiscriminate "carpet cash handouts" to induce people to vote for pro-military parties.
The Democrat Party also complained that vote buying in southern provinces was rampant the night before the poll.
Although the election commission assigned representatives at the local levels to oversee the ballot counting, it is believed that they turned a blind eye to the above-mentioned malpractice.
Despite the attempts to rig the election at the local level, it still took considerable horse-trading, in addition to legitimizing inconsequential political parties, to shoehorn the junta and its allies into parliament. It is difficult to see how the junta can claim any legitimacy from this election.

And in the spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It has the glory of God and a radiance like a very rare jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. It has a great, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates are inscribed the names of the twelve tribes of the Israelites; on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Last fall I went on pilgrimage with some young adults from Chicago to Philadelphia. There we witnessed Pope Francis' historic visit. What struck me so forcibly was not so much the pope's consoling words, but the gathering of the people themselves on the city streets. Civility ruled. Kindness reigned. The police were extraordinarily friendly. Shopkeepers smiled, opened their doors, and happily gave away free stuff. People were patient, for the most part, willing to wait long hours to pass through security screening. It was as if an angel had given us a vision of "the Holy City." Pope Francis was with us in the City of Brotherly love for just three days. I came away from that gathering wondering what it would be like if we imagined to be true what we believe to be true: the Lamb who was slain and reborn remains with us throughout eternity.

Giant Rat and New Possum Found in Indonesia
bassiddiq
26 September 2011 09.57 WIB • 1 menit
The article below is extracted from New Scientist. It was published on 17 Dec 2007 by Reuters and New Scientist staff. Enjoy reading! Two new undocumented mammals - a pygmy possum and a giant rat - have been found in the jungles of a remote mountain range in Indonesia's Papua province, according to a conservation group. During an expedition to Papua's Foja Mountains in June, Conservation International (CI) and Indonesian scientists documented the two mammals - a Cercartetus pygmy possum, one of the world's smallest marsupials, and a Mallomys giant rat, the conservation group said in a statement. Both mammals are currently under study and are apparently new to science, it said. The scientists, accompanied by a film crew, also recorded the mating displays of several rare and little-known birds for the first time.
Absolute realm
Scientists from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences and CI discovered dozens of new plants and animals on their first trip to the region, described as a "Lost World", in late 2005. The giant rat is about five times the size of a typical city rat, says Kristofer Helgen, a scientist with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, US. "With no fear of humans, it apparently came into the camp several times during the trip," he says. The Foja wilderness is part of the Mamberamo Basin, the largest unroaded tropical forest in the Asia Pacific region. "It's comforting to know that there is a place on Earth so isolated that it remains the absolute realm of wild nature," says Bruce Beehler, vice president of Conservation International, who led the expedition. With 42 million hectares (104 million acres) of tropical forests and some of the richest bio-diversity in the world, Papua is considered the one of the country's last rainforest frontiers. But it is under threat from increased clearing for palm oil plantations as well as illegal logging.

Bogumila (Pierko) Pilat of Newton passed away on Apr 5, 2019.
She was the loving daughter of Helena Pierko and late Adolf Pierko of Bialystok in Poland, the beloved wife of Kazimierz J. Pilat of Newton, devoted and loving mother of Wojciech J. Pilat and his wife Sunette A. Pilat of Newton, Margaret Kielb and her husband Lukas Kielb of Southboro, Adam Pilat and his partner Brianna Moroney, and dear Babi of Natalia and Oliver Kielb, and Arianna Pilat. Sister of Edward Pierko and his wife Bogumila Pierko, and Henryk Pierko and his wife Elzbieta Pierko.
She was known for her compassion for everyone that crossed her path. She was a dedicated employee at Toolmex Corporation for over 20 years. She never refused anyone a helpful hand and never complained or asked for help even when she needed it. She had a great passion for gardening and was featured in the Newton Tab over the years for her stunning garden creations in Newton. She was a mother to all and provided guidance to lost souls in need. Her life and caring actions made everyone's life better. Her loss is felt near and far.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her funeral service on Friday April 12th at 10 AM in the Catholic Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, 28 Commonwealth Avenue Chestnut Hill. Visiting hours will be in the Eaton & Mackay Funeral Home 465 Centre St. Newton Corner on Thursday from 4-8 PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her name may be made to the Go Fund Me campaign "Donations to charity in lieu of flowers for Bogda" for the purpose of funding the Michaels House charity helping families struggling with addiction. She was an active member and would have wanted us to support this cause.


After a long career in marketing, I took voluntary redundancy and whilst looking for new challenges, my attention was caught by a recruitment ad for MAMA.codes. I was really impressed by the company ethos and excited by the prospect of helping the next generation learn such a vital skill. Being a rep means I can utilise my existing marketing & business skills and also learn new ones, so it's a win-win!


Work Experience vs. Certifications - What Do Employers Look For?
As IT recruiters, this is a question that we hear frequently: What do employers look for – work experience or certifications? The real answer to this question is "both." Employers want technical professionals with relevant, hands-on experience who can relate to on-the-job requirements, but they also want individuals who've been specifically trained on current versions of IT systems, software, practices and procedures.
On the IT staffing sales side, we speak with hiring managers on a daily basis. Part of our discussion is to better understand the business side of a project or the technologies that they're looking to implement. This not only helps us identify the right technical person for the job but also the right cultural match.
That said, we recently started to ask the following question to a number of Employers: "If you were forced to choose between otherwise equal candidates, would you choose certification over experience, or experience over certification?" The most frequent answer was "experience." Therefore, if you find yourself forced to choose between getting experience and getting certified, you should choose to gain experience. The way we look at it is that it will be easier to get certified later if you have experience, than it will be to get experience later, if you have a certification. This is worth remembering when you decide whether to spend a lot of energy, and money, obtaining as many certifications as possible.
Three people apply for this position. Applicant #1 has 10+ years experience as an admin but has no certifications. Applicant #2 has 5+ years experience as an admin, with CompTIA's A+, Network +, Security+ & Server+ certifications. Which candidate do you think the company is going to hire?
The response was pretty clear: Having a formal education or certifications is always better than not having it. It shows that there is a base line of knowledge and gives comfort to those who may not have the technical skills to truly qualify a candidate's technical ability. Having relevant experience is always better than no experience. However, IT managers unanimously said that the ideal person has both, the formal education/certifications required for the position and the technical experience to do the IT job.
Therefore, to summarize, we've provided two different perspectives with a long-standing debate between technical work experience versus certifications. Although the feeling is that most technical hiring managers would prefer a combination of both, if we had to choose one or the other, the general consensus from our IT recruiters is that there is no substitute for experience.

Drape's Takes: Blogging: Just Another One of Those "Dangers"
The program will be available in 75 schools in the Jordan, Granite, Salt Lake, Murray and Alpine school districts. The Entertainment Software Association and Web Wise kids will train staff from each district who will return to schools to implement the games that teach students about privacy, bullying and illegal downloading. Web Wise Kids has launched programs in several states, but this is it's biggest group of students yet.
While the entire press conference was extremely eye-opening for me, I was impressed by the positive response generated by the various leaders in education present at the event. With representatives from five of the largest districts in the state, each singing praise to the product, who wouldn't be impressed?
And yes, Internet safety should be given priority among the crowded curriculum in today's schools.
Furthermore, using video games to teach? It's about time!
Web Wise Kids' proven prevention strategies empower youth to recognize and resist all types of harmful situations that exist online. Situations such as social networking, blogging, Instant Messaging, online predators, cyber romances, cyber bullying, identity theft, flaming, piracy and more are introduced in our engaging and challenging Internet safety games.
But it doesn't just stop there. Notice anything funny about the banner in the photo below?
Yep. There's "blogging". Right next to "predators", pirating, cyber-stalking, and every other online evil - ostensively listed at the top of the two prominent banners displayed.
Now, should bloggers be educated about dangers inherent with publishing personal information? Yes. Can blogging, social networking, and even driving a car be dangerous? Absolutely.
However, to list blogging among such blatant nefariousness is both wrong and unjustified. There is much good that can come from blogging, participating in social networking and even driving a car. Isn't it time we acknowledged the fact?
By the way, if you're interested in an excellent guide to Internet Safety and Social Networking for Parents, I highly recommend the site maintained by Wes Fryer.

The Nutshell
Global Forest Estimate Rises 9 Percent
Dryland biomes are covered in at least 40 percent more forest than previously estimated.
Aggie Mika
WIKIMEDIA, ARTHUR MEDEIROS
An international team of scientists uncovered 1,803,097 square miles (467 million hectares) of previously unreported forest populating Earth's dryland biomes, boosting forest cover globally by at least 9 percent, according to a study published last week (May 11) in the journal Science. This update estimates that forest cover in drylands is 40-47 percent higher than what has previously been found.
Jean-François Bastin, first author on the study and an ecologist with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, told Mongabay that he and his colleagues were "surprised and stunned" at their new estimates.
In their report, the researchers demonstrated that in 2015, out of the estimated 23.67 million square miles (6,132 million hectares) of total dryland covering the earth's surface, 4.16 million square miles were covered in forest, while another 5.12 million square miles of dryland (1,327 million hectares)...
Previous studies attempting to describe forests in dryland biomes were "riddled with disparities, caused by issues such as differences in satellite spatial resolution, mapping approaches and forest definitions," according to a press release.
In their approach, the researchers used Google Earth's satellite data and images taken at a high frequency and resolution, which allowed for a more accurate estimate.
According to a Science report, this updated estimate will enable researchers to more accurately determine how much carbon dioxide absorption the Earth's forests can account for.

New Ulm si trova all'incrocio delle Farm Roads 109 e 1094 nella parte occidentale della contea di Austin, circa 22 miglia a sud-ovest di Bellville e 16 miglia a nord-est di Columbus.

Storia
La storia di New Ulm risale agli anni 1840. Fu fondata nel 1841 come Duff's Settlement, chiamata così in onore di James C. Duff, che acquistò il terreno originale su cui fu costruita la città. Questa comunità si trovava a circa un miglio a nord dell'attuale sito di New Ulm. Verso la metà degli anni 1840, l'area crebbe un afflusso con l'arrivo di coloni di lingua tedesca dalle vicine comunità di Industry, Shelby e Nassau Farm. Dopo aver presentato petizioni al governo per un ufficio postale, ne fu aperto uno nel 1852 con il nome di New Ulm, in commemorazione della città tedesca di Ulma (in tedesco Ulm), dato che molti dei coloni provenivano da quell'area. Nel 1867 fu costruita una chiesa che fungeva da edificio scolastico. La Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad comprò terreni agricoli di proprietà del residente locale Franz Pille allo scopo di estendere la linea, che arrivò a New Ulm nel 1892, stimolando ulteriormente l'economia cittadina. Si stima che 225 persone vivessero nella comunità nel 1898. A quel tempo, a New Ulm operava una varietà di attività commerciali, tra cui cinque negozi, una farmacia, una selleria, un'ebanisteria e una fabbrica di soda.

Nel 1906 fu aperta una banca e quattro anni dopo fu avviata la pubblicazione del giornale New Ulm Enterprise. L'11 aprile 1916, nella comunità si riunirono ventuno uomini allo scopo di mettere in sicurezza gli apparati antincendio per proteggere le proprietà locali. Ciò portò alla formazione della New Ulm Fire Company, in seguito ribattezzata New Ulm Volunteer Fire Department. Nel 1930, la popolazione di New Ulm si attestava intorno ai 500 abitanti, che calarono a 390 nel 1950, per aumentare nuovamente in seguito, raggiungendo le 650 unità nel 1990. New Ulm è attiva nella camera di commercio e nel Lions Clubs.

Anche se New Ulm non è incorporata, ha un ufficio postale con il codice di avviamento postale 78950.

Cultura

Istruzione
L'educazione pubblica nella comunità di New Ulm è fornita dal Columbus Independent School District, che ha sede nella città di Columbus, nella contea di Colorado.

The Austrian Aid Committee for Nicaragua was founded in 1983 as a non-partisan aid committee. Until 1991 the Austrian politician Johanna Dohnal was the coordinator of the Austrian Aid Committee for Nicaragua. The initial goal of the organization was to gain public support for their cause. Public donations went to helping the thousands of people who were evacuated from the San Juan River area, near San Juan, Nicaragua. The Austrian Aid Committee for Nicaragua built schools, kindergartens, and hospitals in the newly created villages.
The international support was crucial for Nicaragua. The country was able to begin its transition toward a democratic society. In November 1984 they had their first free, democratic election. In addition to many public personages, the Aid Committee for Nicaragua was among those who took part in the implementation of Caritas' aid plan.


Over 100 men, women and children gathered at the Discovery School on Sunday for the first service of the newly named St Gabriel's Church, the local Church of England congregation for Kings Hill.
Rt Rev James Langstaff, the Bishop of Rochester, was present to lead the service and, standing alongside local clergy, he inaugurated the use of the name St Gabriel's and blessed the church congregation as they took up residence in their new home of the Discovery School.
The Girls' Brigade and the Discovery School Choir also participated in the service by singing songs for the congregation and the centre-piece of the celebration was a naming ceremony for the church community after which a banner featuring a large angel was held aloft by the children.
The local community of Kings Hill had been invited to vote for their favourite name online and St Gabriel had been the overwhelming winner. Bishop James noted it was a particularly apt name for a community built on a former airfield!
After the service, there was lively discussion, refreshments and Girls' Brigade cupcakes enjoyed by all. St Gabriel's now meets every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at the Discovery School, Discovery Drive, Kings Hill.

Orchestre de Paris set to visit 2019 Edinburgh International Festival
Announcement made as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visits the Philharmonie de Paris with International Festival Director Fergus Linehan.
Today the Edinburgh International Festival revealed that the Orchestre de Paris will perform at the Usher Hall as part of the 2019 International Festival.
The orchestra will give two concerts conducted by Music Director Daniel Harding, as part of an International Festival residency in August 2019. Tickets go on sale in March along with the Festival's full 2019 programme.
A regular International Festival visitor, UK conductor Daniel Harding has been Music Director of the Orchestre de Paris since 2016. The residency programme includes Beethoven's 'Symphony No.6', Benjamin Britten's War Requiem with the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, and the great French composer Hector Berlioz's Harold in Italy, which sees the Orchestra joined by acclaimed French soloist Antoine Tamestit on viola.
The announcement was made during a visit to Paris by Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to promote the diplomatic, economic and cultural links between Scotland and France. The First Minister visited the spectacular home of the Orchestre de Paris, the Philharmonie de Paris concert hall, with International Festival Director Fergus Linehan, where she met with officials and attended an orchestral rehearsal.
The meeting celebrated the close ties between Scottish and French artists, and follows a special event held last year to mark the launch of the 2018 International Festival programme at Paris's Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord, attended by Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop.
French artists have made regular visits to the International Festival since it was established to bring together artists and audiences from across the world, beginning with performances by the Orchestre des Concerts Colonne in in 1947, right up to the Orchestre de Paris's visit this year.
International Festival Director Fergus Linehan said: 'We are thrilled to welcome Daniel Harding and the Orchestre de Paris back to the International Festival this August. The Festival's relationship with France is strong and longstanding, with leading French artists such as Pierre Boulez and Juliette Binoche, and ensembles including Opera de Lyon and Théâtre du Soleil, having performed here in the past. The Orchestre de Paris last visited the International Festival in 1985, and we look forward to sharing their return with audiences from Scotland and all over the world'.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "It's fantastic to see the Edinburgh International Festival and France's largest symphonic orchestra the Orchestre de Paris joining together for what I am sure will be one of the highlights of the 2019 programme. This is the perfect example of the strong cultural links that exist between Scotland and France which I will be looking to build on during my visit to Paris this week."

JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, July 8, 2017) After a few weeks off from racing at Wisconsin's Action Track, Edgerton's Casey Johnson returned to action and parked his familiar #5 Late Model in victory lane. The three time track champion has raced at Jefferson Speedway three times in 2017 and has two wins and runner up to show for his efforts.
The Culver's of Johnson Creek 50 lap Late Model main event began with Kyle Smith and Dylan Schuyler pacing the stacked field of drivers to the green flag. Schuyler took control of the point as they exited turn four to complete lap number one. Smith fell in line behind Schuyler with Stephen Scheel racing up to third. The first of three yellow flag periods appeared on lap eight when Stephen Sauer spun off turn two. Schuyler led the field back to green as they raced single file at the front. The second caution came on lap 14 when Shaun Scheel spun in turn four after contact with Luke Westenberg. While still under the yellow, the leader began to leak fluid onto the racing surface. Schuyler was forced to retire for the evening, handing the lead Smith with Stephen Scheel in second. As racing got back underway, Scheel quickly tried to make his move on the new leader. On lap 16, the two made contact racing off turn two. They slid up the track, collecting Ovadal and ending with all three drivers in the backstretch wall. After the cleanup, it was now Casey Johnson at the front of the pack with Steve Dobbratz in his rear view mirror. Johnson began to stretch his advantage once the green waved over the field again. Michael Grueneberg sliced his way up to second as he looked to cut into Johnson's already large lead. But Johnson remained in control as he cruised to the checkers to score the win. Grueneberg was second with Dale Nottestad, Jason Erickson and Kody Hubred rounding out the top five.
Round two of the Sportsman Challenge went solidly to Robert Hansberry Jr of Beloit. Hansberry won both of the twin 25 lap feature events to claim the overall title. Jake Biever and Bryce Miller led the field to green for the first feature with Miller taking the early lead. After an early caution on lap two, Jim Tate Jr drove to the high side of Miller to take away the lead. On lap six, contact between Bobby Selsing and Jay Kalbus ended when both wrecked into turn three collecting several other drivers. After the caution, Mark Deporter slipped by Miller for second with Terry Wangsness in his tracks for third. Wangsness continued forward, passing Deporter on lap nine to take over second with Hansberry in tow for third. Hansberry went to work on Wangsness as they two battled for the second position. After two attempts, Hansberry completed the pass on lap 17 and began to close the gap on Tate at the front. On lap 21, Deporter began to slow with problems as the caution waved once again. Tate led the field on the restart with Hansberry now right on his rear bumper. Hansberry quickly drove to the high side of Tate as the due raced side by side for the lead. They flew past the white flag with nothing settled to begin to final lap. As they crossed the stripe to complete the race, it was Hansberry with a half car advantage to get the win. Tate settled for second followed by Wangsness, Tony Ciano and Selsing.
The second feature saw Ed Jackson take the initial lead on lap one until a caution slowed the pace. Jackson led the field back to green with Jake Biever in second. On lap five, Biever drew even with Jackson while Josh Madell and Bobby Selsing raced for third behind them. One lap later, the leaders raced four wide off turn two. The result was a multi car melee down the back stretch that ended with Jackson and Wangsness paying the biggest price and forcing another yellow. Racing restarted with Madell on the point and Hansberry already up to second. The two leaders began to separate themselves from the pack as Hansberry sized up Madell. On lap nine, Hansberry got under Madell as they entered turn one. A lap later, Hansberry was out front alone and checking out on his way to the win. Madell finished second with Tony Ciano, Jay Kalbus and Jim Tate Jr completing the top five.
Sun Prairie's Joe Cross was awarded the win in the 20 lap International feature event. Chris Jackson and Dillon Scott raced for control on lap one. Ashley Gottschalk joined the battled as they race three wide on lap two for the top spot. Gottschalk got clear on lap three just before Scott got crossed up and spun to force the caution. Gottschalk and Cross led the field back to green, this time with Cross gaining the advantage. Chris Gottschalk raced up to third and began to challenge his wife, Ashley, for the second position. But Chris began to fade giving second back to Ashley until the caution flew on lap 12. Cross and Ashley Gottschalk led the field back to green with Cross once again taking the lead. Jamie Kohn fired up next to Gottschalk to steal second on lap 15. With two laps remaining, Kohn peeked to the low side of Cross looking to lead. Kohn drew even with Cross on the final lap. As they raced to the checkers wheel to wheel, it was Kohn with the very slight advantage. But following post-race inspection, Kohn was forced to vacate his finishing position, handing the win to Cross. Noah Pankow was second followed by Ashley Gottschalk, Josh Marx and Neil Higgins.
In Hobby Stock action, it was Jared Vike from Sussex who lead every lap and held off a challenge to get the win in the 25 lap feature. Vike lead lap one from the pole as the field began to stack up behind him. This forced the sole caution of the race. Vike led the field back to green with Lucas Buckingham in second. Meanwhile, AJ Lloyd was charging his way through the field and into the top five by lap six. Lloyd got himself to third by lap seven as he went to work on Buckingham for second. Lloyd drove to the high side of Buckingham, taking away the second position on lap nine. Lloyd began reeling in Vike at the front, catching the leader and beginning to search for away by. Lloyd made several attempts to get a good run, but Vike fended off his challenge each time. At the checkers, it was Vike for the win with Lloyd settling for a close second. Chester Williams come home in third followed by Buckingham and Bud Riedner.
Fort Atkinson's Tyler Deporter captured the 20 lap Bandit feature event. Barrett Hummelmaier took the early lead on lap one with Josh Lenz up to second. On lap four, the duo made contact allowing Deporter to fire past into the lead. Lenz tried to come back strong on the low side, but Deporter moved out into control. Chad Olds raced his way up to second as he tried to close in on Deporter. But Deporter was already on his way to the checkers to get the win. Olds was second followed by Jeremy Bredeson, Lenz and DJ Hill.
West Bend's Aaron Moyer grabbed another win in the 20 lap Legends feature event. David McCalla took the lead on lap one with Mark Ritger in second. Ritger fell off the pace on lap two handing second to Brady Fox-Rhode. After a caution on lap three, McCalla and Fox-Rhode paced the field back to green with Fox-Rhode taking control. Moyer charged up to third on lap four behind Dilon Schwanbeck. Moyer got to second on lap five and began to reel in Fox-Rhode. At the halfway point of the race, Moyer dove under the leader, grabbing control of the top spot on lap 11. But Fox-Rhode used the crossover move to get back past Moyer a lap later. Not to be outdone, Moyer used the same crossover move to retake possession of the lead, this time for good. Moyer flew to the checkers while Fox-Rhode held off Riley Stenjem to finish in second. Rounding out the top five were Max McNamara and Schwanbeck.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Missouri Gag Rule on Health Care Navigators
WASHINGTON—In a victory for health reform advocates, the U.S. District Court struck down Missouri state laws that severely restricted the advice health care navigators and certified application counselors could give to insurance customers. Senior Judge Ortie D. Smith ruled that provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) preempt Missouri's restrictive legislation, which means consumers will have full access to the assistance they need to choose the best coverage that suits their needs.
NHeLP, alongside co-counsel Jay Angoff of Mehri & Skalet, represented Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri and the St. Louis Effort for AIDS in the case, which will undoubtedly have effects in other states that have passed similarly restrictive laws.
"This ruling is plain and clear – states cannot pass laws that create barriers between people and the best health coverage for them," said NHeLP staff attorney Abbi Coursole. "Now, we hope that this will be the end to similar laws in other states, and affected individuals and families can make informed decisions about their health coverage."
"Some states have done everything possible to prevent residents from accessing health coverage, whether it be through the Marketplace or Medicaid," said NHeLP legal director Jane Perkins. "This ruling has the potential to provide more accessible advice and information to people barred from good health coverage by political interference. People have the right to ask questions about their health coverage, and to get accurate answers."
Missouri's law was on the extreme end of a spate of state laws in approximately 15 states meant to impede ACA implementation. These laws range from onerous training and certification requirements for navigators to provisions limiting their scope of allowable activities.
Senior Judge Smith's ruling marks the end of the road for the state's opposition in this case and signals that states cannot put barriers in the way of informing people about their options for affordable health care coverage.

We?ve half-jokingly remarked on occasion that one can discern a creative?s space upon entry into any space without one word of explanation. Just look for the largest monitor in the room.
During the prescient era of CRT monitors ? when a 15? desktop screen was considered ample ? the largest (and memorably, heaviest) 17?-21? screens were first adopted by those relying upon Photoshop or QuarkXpress. And that hunger for ever more larger screen sizes hasn?t stopped as we've evolved into flat screens, growing in parallel with the demands and complexity of the applications creatives now rely upon daily. Bigger isn?t just better when it comes to screens, it?s smarter and faster for workflow. We?ve now entered into a golden age when even non-creatives demand screens pushing the boundaries of actual desk space.
