The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (engl. f. Orakel der Jahreszeiten; , Zeruda no Densetsu: Fushigi no Ki no Mi: Daichi no Shō, wörtlich: Die Legende von Zelda: Die Früchte des Baums der Mysterien: Erdkapitel) und The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (engl. f. Orakel der Zeitalter bzw. nach dem deutschen Spieltext Orakel der Zeit; jap. , Zeruda no Densetsu: Fushigi no Ki no Mi: Jikū no Shō, wörtlich: Die Legende von Zelda: Die Früchte des Baumes der Mysterien: Raum-und-Zeitkapitel) sind zwei Videospiele von Capcom aus dem Jahr 2001, welche für den Game Boy Color entwickelt wurden. Sie gehören zur Spielreihe The Legend of Zelda des japanischen Unternehmens Nintendo. Das Besondere an den gleichzeitig erschienenen Spielen ist die Möglichkeit, sie mit einem Passwort zu verbinden. Dieses Passwort erhält der Spieler, wenn er eines der beiden Spiele durchgespielt hat. Wenn er anschließend das zweite Spiel beginnt und das Passwort eingibt, werden zusätzliche Handlungsstränge und Spielinhalte freigeschaltet. Dies ist jedoch keine Notwendigkeit, auch einzeln sind die beiden Teile bereits vollwertige, eigenständige Spiele.

Handlung

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Der niederträchtige General Onox entführt das "Orakel der Jahreszeiten", die Tänzerin Din, und verbannt den Tempel der Jahreszeiten und den dort aufbewahrten Stab der vier Jahreszeiten in eine andere Welt. Ohne Din und den Stab gerät das Wetter im Land Holodrum völlig durcheinander, und Link macht sich zur Rettung auf. Dazu muss er die acht "Essenzen der Natur" finden, um dem mächtigen Maku-Baum zu alter Stärke zu verhelfen.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Die böse Zauberin Veran nimmt das "Orakel der Zeit", die Sängerin Nayru, gefangen. Mit ihrer Hilfe will sie die Vergangenheit ändern, um auf ewig die Macht über das Land Labrynna zu erlangen. Link – Protagonist des Spiels – muss die acht "Essenzen der Zeit" finden, um mit Hilfe des Maku-Baumes Nayru und Labrynna zu retten.

Gemeinsame Handlung
Beim Durchspielen eines der beiden Teile erhält der Spieler ein 20-stelliges Passwort. Dieses kann er zu Beginn des zweiten Teils eingeben, und so das Abenteuer mit dem alten Spielstand in der anderen Welt fortsetzen. Ein auf diese Weise gestartetes Spiel weist einige Veränderungen gegenüber dem normalen Spiel auf, zum Beispiel liegen einige Gegenstände an anderen Orten. Zusätzlich wird die Handlung um einen zusätzlichen Strang erweitert, der die Geschehnisse der beiden Spiele miteinander verbindet. So erfährt der Spieler, dass die Hauptantagonisten der beiden Teile, die Zauberin Veran und General Onox, in Wahrheit dem Ziel dienen, ein Ungeheuer namens Ganon zu erwecken. Der Charakter Ganon ist der Oberbösewicht in zahlreichen anderen Spielen der Zelda-Reihe und gilt als Erzfeind des Helden Link. Auch Prinzessin Zelda, von der die gesamte The-Legend-of-Zelda-Serie ihren Namen hat, taucht nur im passwortverbundenen Spiel auf.

Welches der beiden Spiele dabei zuerst gespielt wird, ist egal. Die Zusatzhandlung ist in beiden Teilen identisch und wird an dasjenige Spiel angehängt, das der Spieler als zweites beginnt. Offiziell ist Oracle of Seasons inhaltlich vor Oracle of Ages angesiedelt.

Hintergrund
 Die Spiele verkauften sich zusammen rund acht Millionen Mal.
 Von Capcom entwickelt und von Nintendo vertrieben, erschienen diese beiden Game-Boy-Color-Titel gleichzeitig im Jahr 2001. Da die Spiele zwar verbunden werden können, dies aber nicht zwingend ist, wurden die Teile einzeln verkauft. So ist es möglich, auch nur einen der beiden Teile zu spielen.
 Während man in Oracle of Seasons mit dem Stab der Jahreszeiten selbige beeinflussen kann, reist man in Oracle of Ages mit der Harfe der Zeit durch die Zeit. Neu sind außerdem verschiedene Reittiere, mit denen Link an verschiedene Orte gelangt, sowie diverse Ringe mit unterschiedlichen Kräften. Der Spieler sieht alles aus der Vogelperspektive, technisch orientieren sich die Spiele an The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, welches 1993 für den Game Boy erschien.
 Zu Beginn der Konzeption der Spiele war, unter Bezug auf die drei Göttinnen von Hyrule und das aus drei Teilen bestehende Triforce, auch ein dritter Teil dieser Spielereihe geplant. Dieser wurde allerdings aufgrund technischer Schwierigkeiten verworfen: das limitierte Passwortsystem zur Verbindung der Spiele, sowie die Wahl des Spielers, welchen der drei Teile er in welcher Reihenfolge spielen würde, und die notwendige Anpassung der drei Spiele auf jede dieser sechs möglichen Kombinationen zwangen die Entwickler zum Umdenken. Im April 2008 wurde als Aprilscherz das angebliche komplette Kartenmaterial des Spiels online gestellt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Karten sowie sämtliche Namen von Fans erdacht worden waren.
 Die tierischen Begleiter in beiden Teilen, der fliegende Bär Benny, das boxende Känguru Ricky und der schwimmende Dodongo Dimitri, gaben dem Spieler die Möglichkeit, einen von ihnen mit einer Flöte zu rufen. Dies wurde dadurch bestimmt, welchen dieser drei Begleiter der Spieler als erstes traf. Je nachdem, auf welchen Begleiter die Flöte festgelegt wurde, änderten sich auch einige Karten, die nur mit dem tierischen Begleiter überwunden werden konnten, auf die speziellen Fähigkeiten dieser Begleiter.

(1933-2008) Peruvian playwright, author and short story author who worked in multiple genres but had a sizeable science fiction output. His most respected long work of sf is the novel Mañana las ratas ["Tomorrow, the Rats"] (1984). His shorter sf is scattered among anthologies rather than published in unified collections, in part because, although Adolph acknowledged himself an sf author, he insisted in interviews that sf was merely one of the many genres in which he worked.
Adolph was born into a Jewish family in Stuttgart, Germany. He emigrated with his family to Lima, Peru in 1938 and, even though decades later he returned to Germany in order to regain the citizenship that had been taken from him, he chose to become a Peruvian citizen in 1974. Adolph resided in Lima with the artist Delia Sara Revoredo Sedero, whose paintings were featured on several of his book covers.
A productive writer, Adolph published four plays, ten short story collections and six novels, one of which, De mujeres y heridas ["Women and Wounds"] (2000), is a single-volume trilogy. Some of his best early sf stories can be found in the volumes El retorno de Aladino ["The Return of Aladdin"] (coll 1968), Cuentos del relojero abominable ["The Abominable Watchmaker's Tales"] (coll 1973), and Mañana fuimos felices ["Tomorrow We Were Happy"] (coll 1975). More recently, Adolph has published sf on Internet sites such as Ciberayllu [see links below].
Much of Adolph's sf expresses a cynical, dark, though not humourless outlook on the human condition, with themes ranging from poverty, corruption, authority and Political violence to storytelling and the power of myth. Adolph's decades in journalism strengthened his sf by instilling in him a commitment to research, which he considered useful for conferring a touch of realism to fantastical texts.
Mañana, las ratas takes place in the Lima of 2034, when nation-states have ceded authority to a Supreme Council of global conglomerates. The titular "rats" are the developing world's poor and disenfranchised, who have been radicalized by the "cat-ox" (orthodox Catholics) and now threaten revolution. Written when Peru was in the early throes of the terrorist "Shining Path" guerilla movement, the novel is a critique of capitalism, Technology and Utopianism at the same time that it charts the classical stages of urban decay.
"El falsificador" ["The Falsifier"] (in Hasta que la muerte ["Until Death"] coll 1971) calls attention to the fictional potential inherent in historical accounts. The story opens with several pages transcribed from the chronicles of Pedro Cieza de León, a real sixteenth-century Spanish conqueror, before transitioning to a science-fictional reinterpretation of Christian myths and accepted histories of European/Indigenous contact in the New World.

It's officially spring — which means it's time to get out and play in the dirt! So grab your trowel and your garden hose and let's get growing!
Seasoned gardeners will tell you that growing your own vegetable and herb garden is a very rewarding experience. Not only is the actual process of gardening therapeutic, but you get the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your food came from. Here are some tips for getting started.
There are so many creative ways to build a garden. From DIY to purchasing ready-made raised beds, it's hard to go wrong. Just make sure the space you choose gets plenty of sunlight and that you've got good soil and drainage. Drainage is important — especially for our area, which is prone to heavy downpours. Plants don't like standing water, but mosquitos do! So keep your property mosquito-free with good drainage, and eliminate any standing water around your property.
Soil can be purchased in bags from a local nursery, but you can also use existing soil from your yard. If you go with yard soil, it's a good idea to get the nutrient content tested. Here's a tip: Austin Soil Kitchen will test your soil for free this weekend at the East Austin Garden Fair to make sure it's safe to plant in — just bring them a sample! Here's what they found hiding in Austin's soil last year.
You should also infuse your soil with nutrient-rich compost by adding a few inches to the top before planting your plants. You can purchase compost from a nursery, or make it yourself. The City offers free composting classes year-round. If you attend a class, you can earn a $75 rebate on a home composting system and a kitchen scrap collector for attending. You can also take the class online.
What to plant and what seeds to sow depends on the month you're planting in. We really dig this handy guide from the Natural Gardener that outlines month-to-month what to plant and when. Experiment with different types of vegetables and don't get discouraged if something doesn't work out as planned. You can always uproot the plant and replace it with something else, or try to grow it again next year. Be sure to follow spacing recommendations for the plants you choose to avoid overcrowding. And remember to support our local Austin-area nurseries when buying plants and seeds!
Once you get them in the ground, give your plants some water, aiming close to the soil to avoid wetting the leaves. You want that water to penetrate the soil and reach the roots! Water according to instructions that came with your plant, as some need more than others. Once it starts getting really hot, it's best to water early in the morning before the heat sets in.
If you notice that bugs are starting to get the best of your plant, it's best to use natural products to deter them instead of chemicals and pesticides. This means you have to keep a close eye on your plants, so walk through your garden and check the leaves every couple of days for any issues. A good natural pest remedy is soapy water spray. Just make sure your soap is all-natural and doesn't contain detergent or antibiotics. There are also other natural products you can use if the soapy water solution isn't working. Be sure to wet the underside and top of the leaves when spraying, and only spray early in the morning or in the evening to avoid damaging your plants. Use this guide to diagnose common plant problems in our area.
Birds can also cause problems for your garden, and to help, you can set up bird netting. Birds are especially drawn to the bright color of deliciously ripe tomatoes, and the netting helps deter them.
Now that you've got some of the basics down, go put your green thumb to work!

Using Zoom To Connect Returning Citizens To Resources And Community
Re-Entry 2.0, a virtual program to support prisoners in the transition from prison to life outside, has made participants stakeholders in each other's success.
Ryan Moser January 18, 2023

When the pandemic struck in early 2020, many people getting out of prison were left struggling as many of the organizations typically available to assist in re-entry, like career centers and Goodwill, were closed due to shutdowns.
"So many men and women were being released in the middle of a crisis with no food, job, or housing," says Alan Cohen, an entrepreneur who volunteers at correctional institutions in Florida. "We needed a way to network with the formerly incarcerated and provide them with resources."
In response to the growing problem, Cohen joined with volunteers Michael Junkroski, pastor of the Current Spiritual Community, and his wife Trudy Junkroski, a restorative justice specialist, to support returning citizens.
Their nonprofit organization Re-Entry 2.0 – as known as R2 – is a cohort of volunteers, ex-offenders, nonprofits, guest speakers and family members who meet via Zoom once a week. The group supports newly released prisoners in the transition from prison to life outside, working to solve issues ranging from learning new technology to job placement to finding a food bank.
"People were serving their time and then getting out with little or no options," Cohen says. "So we created a virtual room where everyone could come to talk about their needs or just connect with other people."
With the world socially distanced from one another, meeting virtually gave R2 an advantage over the traditional resource centers. The Zoom meetings allowed busy people to safely convene without leaving their homes.
The program quickly expanded beyond Florida to include formerly incarcerated people and guests from California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It's even gone global, with participants from South America and Scotland.
"It's natural for us to want to welcome people back into society," Trudy says. "It doesn't matter where you live, we want to celebrate your success and help you reintegrate."
A Way to Connect
Initially, R2 offered tangible resources like clothes, a Chromebook or a bus pass. Eventually the group began providing counseling and evolved into a close-knit community of people touched by the justice system. It was no longer just the transition hub Cohen had envisioned.
"At first it was a way to find re-entry support during COVID," Michael says. "But eventually it became a space to check in and stay connected. It seemed like that's what people needed most."
Finding housing and a job remain major concerns for individuals leaving prison, but less attention is given to developing positive social connections after returning to the outside. By creating a program with a community of ex-offenders that are stakeholders in each other's success, R2 has helped fill that void for participants.
"At some meetings there's a lot of laughing and fun, but we also hurt for those struggling to adjust," Trudy says. "We share in the humanity of helping others on their journey."
While state programs and other organizations exist to give incarcerated individuals limited assistance with their re-entry, the cooperative spirit R2 provides is rare. The Zoom meetings are an anomaly in Department of Corrections transition circles, and the group doesn't receive financial help from government agencies.
In addition to attending the weekly meet-up, ex-offenders are encouraged to give back to their communities through service, often getting involved in local outreach programs or finding opportunities to volunteer. Some assist elderly neighbors, start ministries, or visit local jails and prisons. Others mentor kids in the Boys and Girls Club or clean local parks.
William Steele, an R2 member who was paroled from prison in 2020, says he finds satisfaction in helping others. "Several of us spent the last year mentoring kids from a teen court program," he says. "We also assist family and friends of the incarcerated who are dealing with issues related to re-entry."
According to a report by Prison Policy Initiative, roughly 600,000 Americans are released from jails and prisons every year, many of whom do not have an emotional support system in place for when they get out.
Donations of clothing and groceries are helpful. But having a friend or mentor to guide you through a difficult transition is important for a successful re-entry.
"Re-entry 2.0 gave me a forum to express myself," says Jeff Reuter, 52, a recently returning citizen who spent 28 years in prison before being paroled and joining the group. "During my first few weeks out, I felt more comfortable around others who'd shared my prison experience and understood the problems I faced in transitioning."
Instead of giving an ex-offender a bag of groceries and sending them away, or setting up a job interview only to never see them again, the R2 community provides moral support, connection and ongoing assistance that helps individuals transition in the long term.
"It really does matter knowing that people care about me and my success and are willing to listen," Reuter says. "That helps me do better."
In addition to networking, R2 also helps stem a long-standing trend of post-prison unemployment. A 2022 report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that up to two-thirds of formerly incarcerated people are jobless within four years of release. Yet almost everyone in the R2 cohort is working or owns their own business.
Transitional services have long been an afterthought for the Florida Department of Corrections, often choosing instead to let outside organizations and charities carry the burden, advocates for the formerly incarcerated say. With at least 21% of people coming back to prison within the first three years of release, according to a 2022 Florida Prison Recidivism Report, the state should put more effort into aftercare.
Few correctional officials are interested in providing the social network that R2 does, with professionals and returning citizens meeting weekly via Zoom to discuss real problems in real time.
Arrest rates remain low for the group's formerly incarcerated participants: Only a handful of members have re-offended, much less than the 60% average for ex-offenders reported by the Florida Department of Corrections' Office of Strategic Initiatives. The few who did get arrested were for minor violations of probation, technical issues like a missed curfew or failed drug test, R2 organizers say.
Cohen attributes this success to group accountability and positive peer pressure.
"The evidence is clear that our members are more successful upon re-entry than the state average," he says. "More proof that the justice system is broken."
Facing Limitations
In many European countries, prisoners are given a pre-release conference to identify what resources are needed upon re-entry including therapy and social skills classes in order to become a law-abiding citizen.
In Hungary and Norway, officials hold that future crime prevention begins with the successful reintegration into society, and they focus on a plan to go back into the community. A typical releasee is given aftercare counseling and team building training, combined with traditional transition services, in order to help keep them out of prison.
Advocates say many of the same strategies could be used by the American criminal justice system, but the institutions charged with imprisoning people must become part of the re-entry process. In the meantime, while programs like Re-entry 2.0 step in to fill the needs of returning citizens, there are limits to what a private organization can do.
"Right now there's a housing crisis for formerly incarcerated people," says Michael. "When someone gets out of prison, chances are they could be homeless. We're passionate about helping them find a place to live, but there's no affordable housing."
Bed space at shelters and halfway houses are limited and in high demand, putting people in a difficult position. Having paid their debt to society, the consequences seemingly continue on indefinitely.
With help from R2 partners – like Florida Cares Charity and Blessings Flow Center for Achievement, a nonprofit specializing in incarceration issues – members of the group are receiving more assistance than ever before.
"We're now building relationships with the loved ones and families of the incarcerated," says Shariene Hampton, who works with Blessings Flow Center for Achievement. "That connection helps foster a broader support network for when people get close to re-entry."
As R2 seeks to prove that a more effective system can benefit returning citizens and lower recidivism, it hopes to draw public funds in order to provide a new laptop to every future member, create an app to provide correctional institutions with links to critical services for incarcerated individuals being released, and possibly open a new transition center.
"The wheels of change move slowly on some of the pressing issues in our communities, like the lack of re-entry services for people coming home from prison," Trudy says. "We need action and reform. Grassroots efforts demonstrate the how and why of doing things differently, which can in turn, influence policy."

Brave New Home by Diana Lind


Right off the bat, these get an A+ for presentation. Each layered mousse is in an aysemmetrical shot glass that looks like something you might be served at an upscale restaurant (though the cups are plastic, not glass). Each mousse is topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean and a dusting of cocoa powder. The espresso mousse is delicious, with a really nice, light coffee flavor and the consistency of a cloud. The chocolate mousse is quite heavy and has a slightly grainy texture to it, even after a very long defrost. It is more dominant than the espresso, but the overall combination is not bad. That said, I could eat a whole container of the espresso and wouldn't miss the chocolate one bit – as long as I still got the chocolate covered bean on top.
Speaking of defrosting, I found the defrost directions on the package to be misleading. The mousses were still icy after hours in the fridge and were definitely best when defrosted completely at room temperature (70F in my kitchen) for about an hour after taking them out of the freezer.

Prvi švedski križarski rat (švedski:Första svenska korståget) bio je vjerojatno mitski vojni pohod oko 1150. koji se tradicionalno smatra kao švedskim osvajanjem Finske prilikom čega su poganski Finci prešli na kršćanstvo. Prema legendi, križarski rat je vodio kralj Eric IX. od Švedske. Biskup Henrik Uppsalski ga je ostao pratiti u Finskoj gdje će kasnije umrijeti mučeničkom smrću.

Znanstvenici raspravljaju je li se taj križarski rat uopće dogodio. Nikakvi arheološki podatci ne podupiru, a nikakvi preživjeli pisani izvori ne opisuju Finsku pod švedskom vlašću prije kraja 1240-tih. Nadalje, biskupija i biskup Finske nisu navedeni među svojim švedskim kolegama prije 1250-tih.

U to vrijeme, vodđenje leiðangra je bila odgovornost jarla (prijestolonasljednika). To je dovelo do teorije da je Eric vodio ekspediciju prije nego što je postao kralj ili pretendent na prijestolje. Legende ne daju godinu ekspedicije, a pokušaji da se datiraju točno u godinu dana tijekom 1150-tih su nagađanja nastala mnogo kasnije. Sve što se zna o kralja Ericu i biskupu Henriku jest da su najvjerojatnije držali važne položaje u Švedskoj neko vrijeme sredinom 12. stoljeća.

Švedski biskup obično uključen u istočne vojne pohode bio je biskup Linköpinga, a ne biskup Uppsale.

Sredina 12. stoljeća je bilo vrlo nasilno vrijeme u sjevernom Baltičkom moru, s Fincima i Švedanima u čestim sukobima s Novgorodom. Ondje je mogla biti švedska vojna ekspedicija protiv Finske. U Novgorodskom prvom ljetopisu postoji priča da su godine 1142. švedski "princ" i biskup u pratnji flote od 60 brodova opljačkali samo tri novgorodska trgovačka broda negdje "s druge strane mora", očito nakon nečeg mnogo važnijeg.

A recent CNBC program reported that pet health insurance had become the third most requested voluntary benefit in the U.S. workplace. This stands to reason as Americans spend an estimated $18 billion annually on veterinary care. If you've ever had your Labrador Retriever gulp down one of your children's toys, only to follow it up with a visit to the vet and a costly barium enema, you can relate.
62 percent of U.S. households own at least one pet, but only two percent of those households own pet health insurance.

Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows.
Fans of both the Patriots and Eagles will be eagerly watching the big game to see who will become the 2018 Super Bowl Champion. The rest of us will be tuning in to see the fun commercials and entertaining half time show. Justin Timberlake will be taking the stage again this year to rejoin the list of Super Bowl performers. Music magazine "Billboard" recently shared their votes on favorite Super Bowl entertainers. Here are the Top 5 Best Super Bowl Halftime Shows.


These light and crispy chicken fingers with a sweet, tangy honey mustard sauce are a perfect finger food ~ think appetizers, party food ... Superbowl game anyone?
Mayonnaise, honey, dill, lemon juice and dry mustard powder are whisked together for a quick and easy dipping sauce.
The chicken fingers are tossed in a seasoning blend of sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and mustard powder.
Tongs definitely come in handy when dipping and breading!
Make sure your oil is heated over medium-high heat at 325°F. A frying thermometer comes in very handy. If your oil it too hot, you will have raw chicken middles; if it is too low, you will have greasy chicken fingers.
If you look closely at the thermometer, the oil is 352°F ~ way too hot! Did you know that your oil can drop as much as 25° or more when you put your food in? It will also take a few minutes in between batches to get the temperature, so a thermometer is very handy. You can check my earlier post for more tips on frying.
The seasoned chicken is dipped in flour, excess shaken off, dipped in eggs, then into the panko crumbs. I fried two chicken strips for 2-3 minutes and cut one open to test for doneness. Looks good to me!


Finally, you got in-hold by your children's school for next decade.. In my opinion, Private School is mafia like other mafias are working in our country.
Have you ever experienced that your kids school had an empathy with you? Did they ever spend a day without sending you notification, reminder calls for any dues or delay in the fee? Have you ever noticed that how many times in the year they actually value for your child? Do they bother to work on counseling of your child?
Apart from a detailed complaint with the education system like teaching old methods, trying to teach them the stuff which is not going to effect in their life at all. The teaching method been adopted by private schools is like pushing stuff to the children without making them understand anything. The main focus is to complete the semester despite of anything. You are completely clueless what is going on in the classroom between your child & teacher. They hardly communicate with you besides a PTM twice or thrice a year just to make sure that School do care for your child to justify the fee & annual charges they are going to take from you.
Talking to the principal, administration or Director of school is like meeting with a Chief Minister, they behave like they hardly know you and make you guilt for every bad happening in the school with giving you a perfect perception of a perfect school on earth. They have every policy written in their own document which they actually show you when you are in serious trouble or in concern otherwise you have no access on their policies. This is their wish to send you the notification or not about holidays or any other extra curriculum activity held in the school, all they have is a facebook which you are force to follow for the upcoming notifications. This is your problem.
The most active department in the school is Accounts Department where you actually forget every concern you have for your kids because you are a defaulter until you pay the whole dues and they gonna talk to you like KE talks to you after paying all the bills. Even if you pass one more day after a due date, they gonna give you a penalty as well and the follow up with parent at this stage is phenomenal and you start thinking that schools atleast know you very well. Otherwise, they don't have your database or contact information when it comes to communicate with you.
They have so many ideas to do a small scale business inside the school to grab more money from parents, in the name of extra curriculum activities, from project designing to displaying them in the internal exhibition with some food box will make you surprise with the rates of a small disposable biryani plate for Rs.190/- each. They have thousands of business ideas and I think, students can focus on these ideas and can become an entrepreneur in early stage. They can tolerate you as far as you are a good paymaster and you have all the privilege to misbehave with others.
At the time of increment in the fees, they even don't bother you to announce, they just put it in the voucher which actually you have to pay within the due date. Recently, a news of Summer Vacation fee was roaming around social media and we as parent are clueless how to cope with this situation when you been treated like a defaulter and you get threatened that "ok you may take your child out from the school, we have a clear policy and we can't do this" an amazing part of this situation is when your van wala says June July ki fees de do.
We as parents need to join hands with each other or make sort of parents association where parents can resolve their issues to handle their matters and communicate with this mafia. Very soon, the education system in the world is going to disrupt and one day we will laugh about what we have done with your previous generations.


This vegan stew recipe will blow you away. Super hearty and filling and perfect for any cold day. Even the biggest carnivore will love this chickpea vegan beef stew recipe! This recipe is Top 8 Allergen Friendly, including gluten free.
When we first went vegan/plant based, there was a lot of confusion. What in the world did we eat? For many people considering a plant based eating lifestyle, that is used to eating mainstream "traditional" meals, the thought alone is daunting. Many people assume that people who live a lifestyle like this just eat platefuls of broccoli and bowls of strawberries. While that may sometimes be true, the truth of the matter is that people who eat vegan or plant based eat a lot of traditional meals with small dietary changes. Take this beefless vegan stew for example. It's just as hearty and filling as any traditional beef stew recipes; however, it's just made without the beef. Even carnivores will love this vegan hearty soup recipe.
What ingredients do you need to make this beefless vegan stew?
These are the ingredients that will make you the perfect bowl of hearty beefless vegan stew.
How do you make beefless vegan stew?
In order to make this chickpea stew recipe, you will start by chopping up all our your vegetables. Once your vegetables are chopped, add all the ingredients into a crockpot except for the peas and corn. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. 15 minutes before serving, stir in your corn and peas. Remove bay leaves and then serve.
After you are finished, store any remaining beefless vegan stew in an air tight container. It will last in the fridge 5-7 days.
Can I make this beefless vegan stew not in a crockpot?
Maybe you don't have a crockpot or you want to make this beefless stew recipe in a shorter amount of time. While we highly recommend slow cooking to allow the flavors to really develop and come together, there's no reason you can't make this recipe on the stove. Start by reducing the amount of liquid by 1 cup. In a large pot or dutch oven, place all the ingredients together and cook for 30-45 minutes on low. Your potatoes and carrots should be fork tender. If you have more time, you can continue to let it cook on low for more time.
What other recipes pair well with this beefless vegan stew?
While this vegan stew recipe is perfectly delicious all on it's on, some people love having sandwiches or other sides with their soup. Here's some delicious sides that we think would pair nicely with this beefless vegan stew recipe.
Add all the ingredients, except the corn and peas to a crockpot.
Cook for 7-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high in your crockpot (*See instructions in post for cooking on stove).
15 minutes prior to serving, add in the corn and peas and stir to combine.
Turn off heat and discard the bay leaves.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for 5-7 days in fridge.
We did a 30 day vegan challenge and we're sharing the good, bad and fun of what happened when two parents and two young kids went vegan.
As with everything in our lives, it takes us a long time. When we started talking about our semicrunchyish life, we always say one step at a time. Everyone's journey into anything will be completely different, but we believe that cold going turkey into most things is harder. It's also more likely to cause the person to revert back.
Veganism for us was no different. A few years ago, we started doing a meatless meal every week. Just one and really at that time, it was to help save money. As time went on, it was more for health reasons in addition to saving money. One meal turned into two. Then, over that past 15 months or so, that number continued to rise. Some weeks it was up to four nights a week that we weren't consuming meat. I went from purchasing our chicken in bulk every 6-8 weeks to once a quarter, sometimes way longer.
Over the past 3 or 4 months, we had been talking about going vegan more and more. Finally, we agreed to just jump into it and do a 30 day vegan challenge. We set a day for October 1st and then realized we would be doing a 31 day vegan challenge since there are 31 days in October.
Did we make the kids go vegan?
This seems to be the pressing question that everyone wants to know. And the answer is 1000% yes. Then, as soon as we say yes, people look at us like we are crazy. Like I just made them run around the yard for 16 hours without food. I promise you veganism isn't the end of the world, so our kids didn't suffer.
But yes, we did make them also do the 30 day vegan challenge with us. Besides occasionally asking to go to Chick-fil-A they did great. The older one did ask why we were doing this a few times and said that she's okay eating animals because she loves the taste. The little one didn't seem to mind at all honestly.
How vegan did you go?
This seems to be the second most asked question. I learned very quickly during our 30 day vegan challenge that there's levels to veganism. I had no idea beforehand. It's like the mommy wars and whether or not we breastfeed or formula feed. I shouldn't have been surprised, because everyone is going to judge you no matter what you do in life, but I was like whoa, hold on, say what?
For us, we know we didn't go "vegan enough" for some people, but for us it was what is right. I'll be up front and say that we didn't give up honey. This seems to be a huge divide from what I've read so far in the vegan community and for us, we're okay with still consuming it. I do realize others do not feel this way and will think we didn't do enough.
We didn't consume any meat, eggs, or dairy. We made sure that all the food products that we were consuming were vegans — as far as we could tell.
As far as our personal care products – we replaced things with vegan products as they ran out. For some things, like our shampoo and conditioner, we were already using a vegan brand. But other things we replaced if it ran out. We did just ditch everything in our house and replace because this was a 30 day challenge to start with and our budget didn't allow us to replace $100s worth of items that we rarely use just for 30 days. Plus, the environmental side of me feels like wasting it is wrong even more after we already purchased it.
What were the results of a 30 day vegan challenge?
Well, we survived. That's the first step right? We've also decided that we are going to move past the challenge and into living a life of veganism for good. We did continue to still eat processed vegan foods like cereals and Oreos, and our goal now is to eliminate some more of that and eat more plant based meals. I'm not sure that we will ever completely be whole foods plant based, but hey, maybe that's the next journey that starts from here.
We learned that there's some really gross vegan meals. But at the same time we learned that going vegan isn't that hard and it has some really delicious alternative (like these cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting).
One of the biggest things for me we stopped feeling bloated. I used to wake up every day and feel so bloated – both in the morning and after eating meals. Within a few days all that stopped. Even eating big portions of vegan meals or snacks, I didn't wake up feeling like that anymore. I did notice that I was hungry more often and snacked a lot. Andrew was much better at this than I was. I did still manage to loose 5lbs this month without much effort, so I'm sure if I curb the snacking habit back, this month will be even better.
There was some things that really stuck out to us during this 30 day vegan challenge. For starters, how much food contains animal products that you don't even think about. We learned that regular white sugar more than likely has been processed with bone char, making it not vegan. Everything from our vitamins to worchestire sauce to tomato sauce to hair products needed to be checked for animals products.
How helpful the vegan community is. I think everyone thinks of vegans as people who shove their lifestyle down your throat, but what we found was that other vegans were insanely helpful. They went out of their way to find us meals they thought our kids would enjoy, to help us with any questions that arose, make book suggestions, and more. We truly love some of our vegan friends that we've made in this short amount of time.
Lastly, we were shocked at how seamless the transition went. We were expecting it to be really rough and quite honestly it wasn't. The hardest thing for me was no longer having a long list of go to meals. Rather, we spent most of the month trying out new meals during our 30 day vegan challenge. Some of them worked and others, well, left a lot to be desired. The second hardest thing was probably the detox. I had some rough headaches for the first 2 weeks, but since then so much better. Luckily, I had read about that and knew to expect it.
What did you eat during your 30 day vegan challenge?
I know this is what a lot of people want to know. If you can't have meat, eggs, and dairy, what the heck can you eat? It's so funny that people get seriously mind boggled around what to eat if there's no "meat" involved. Luckily, now more than ever, it's much easier to find everything from vegan burgers and hot dogs to vegan cheese, sour cream, and milk in stores. As more people continue to switch to vegan, plant-based, or dairy-free diets, I'm convinced it will only get easier.
For breakfast, we mainly consumed smoothies and oatmeal. This is what we already ate before going vegan so it wasn't a big deal. We make french toast using a vegan homemade bread and flax eggs.
For lunch, we either had leftovers from dinner, salad or PB&J. Luckily, my kids love both salad and PB&J so switching these three ideas around worked well for us.
For dinner, we tried lots of delicious meals. We used different beans in place of meat, as well as trying a few plant based meat options in our meals too. Some of our best meals came from meals we already loved and making a few swaps to make them vegan. For instance, one of our favorite meals beforehand was this 3 bean chicken chili. In order to make it vegan, we took out the chicken, added another cup of beans, and 2 cups of veggie broth. It was delicious!
We continued to love our black bean burgers and even found Daiya cheddar slices tastes great on them. One of our favorite meals was a chickpea stew and a super easy lo mein. I also made a veggie stew that I'll be posting about soon. We took our homemade pizza dough and made pizzas with vegan shredded cheese and that was a big hit with everyone. Black Bean Tacos were a great hit too and there's so many more.
We were able to try a few places out while doing a 30 day vegan challenge. We went to HipCityVeg in Philly and LUHV food at the Reading Terminal Market our first few days because we were at a conference. Both places were a hit! Also since we were at a conference, we were invited to a place to eat for dinner. I was able to find a few dishes to try and loved the one I did, but it proved tricky to Andrew who is much pickier than I am. He ended up having two orders of french fries and stopping at a CVS on the way to the train for vegan ice cream.
We went to another local place near us – Heartbeet Kitchen in Westmont, NJ and were left a little disappointed. The price was way higher than we are used to paying for similar styled foods and we just weren't that impressed. The Queso was delicious, but otherwise we could have passed on the other things. Maybe it was what we ordered, maybe it wasn't. But it's hard to want to go back there with the taste of what did had. The atmosphere and service was great though.
We also found a pizza place local to us that serves a vegan pizza and we also got french fries. We loved being able to go and have a a meal that everyone enjoyed without a giant price hike.
Well now, there's no more challenge. This is just going to be our new normal. We will continue to find meals that we love, places that we love, and products that we love that are vegan. We will work towards switching out our household and personal care products to make them vegan. Also, we will continue to watch and monitor our kids to make sure they are getting enough and proper nutrition at this vulnerable age. We are both taking vitamins for us and for the kids, as well as a B12 spray for nutrition. With the holidays coming up we are nervous about how that will go, but we've done well with parties and such so far, so we are sure that it will be fine.
What about you? Have you or would you done a 30 day vegan challenge? Do you have any questions about how it went for us? Let us know!
Looking for the perfect Cinco de Mayo recipe? This Black Bean Burger is it!
She goes straight Bugs Bunny on me, rattling off all these meals with carrots and lettuce and beans, while all I can think about is a juicy steak. So I cut her off to ask her where this is coming from. To be completely honest, it's hard for me to give things much attention unless it's logical (maybe that's all guys?). Not that it's going to make things much better, that randomly I'm going to have to start eating vegan, but when it's logical at least I'll understand where it's coming from. When that happens, it makes my brain give into my "happy wife, happy life" mentality.
She tells me she heard on the news some nonsense about a plant based diet being less processed and blah, and blah, and blah. That's all I really heard.
Now I'm trying to think about how I can get the news to air a segment on steaks being healthier for you. So, this is how we negotiate. She tells me what she wants and I do it…sometimes. I sit back and start thinking about my new diet without meat which sounds devastating. She snapped me back into reality when I heard the word burger. Ok, burger, I can do this.
Wait, vegan burger? What is this crap? I bet this is about to taste like eating straight grass outside.
"Black bean burger!" I finally hear her say after the initial thoughts of disgust leave my head. She tells me what goes into the burger and it's starting to sound a little better. I'm determined to give it a try at least. We make them up and I'm surprised at how easily these black bean burgers grill.
Watch us make this Black Bean Burger recipe!
Then, taste test time. Verdict: amazing! No, really, I promise. I'm not about to sit here and lie to you guys about something I was hesitant on to start. I couldn't believe that I was eating and liking a black bean burger. Not only that, but I told her to put it in our meal rotation.
In a food processor, add 1 1/2 cans of beans (reserving 1/2 can until later), tortilla chips, rice, onion, salsa, cumin, and garlic.
Turn food processor on and combine well until a thick puree has formed.
Add remaining 1/2 can of black beans to food processor and pulse 2-3 times, just until combined. These should still be chunky.
With a little olive oil on your hands, shape mixture into 6 patties.
Brush both sides of patties with olive oil.
Cook on a grill 3-4 minutes on each side (or in a skillet over medium heat).
Add desired optional toppings to burger and enjoy!
Now, I'm still not convinced that we should be eating vegan 2-3 days a week and I still really want my juicy steak, I'm at least giving it a go. If you're looking to give vegan a go, this is a great recipe to start. I can't believe I just said that. Also, if you're wanting a great Cinco de Mayo recipe to feed a crowd, this is it. Larisha says this pairs perfectly with a frozen margarita.
Here's some things that may help you!

Q: Female symbol on PCB silkscreen?
You can see the symbol on the upper right hand side of the board, what appears to be a pictogram of a woman wearing a dress, similar to a bathroom sign (?)
Wondering what this is.

A: Indeed it is an orientation marking for this image sensor module. Since the module you are holding is square, allowing multiple assembly orientations during box-build, the correct orientation of the image sensor module can be inferred using the logo. Other pictograms used often are rectangles indicating the aspect ratio, X/Y coordinate vectors, the literals "F" or "4".


At any moment you can be inspired and it's important keep these images. I keep a design journal of all the images and inspirational objects I've crossed paths. After some time it's fun to flip through the pages of the journal and see all the things that spoke to you at one point in time.

A: There's two things to suggest here:

*

*In IIS, at the folder level for "CarTracking", you need to create a new Application (in IIS-sense), so your app is hosted in a dedicated app domain (in the sense of .NET). You may also choose to host this new application in a dedicated app pool but that's not mandatory.

*You need to edit your web.config file in "CarTracking" to add back all HTTP modules removed explicitly by SharePoint in its own web.config: AnonymousIdentification, FileAuthorization, Profile, WebDAVModule and Session. Also remove explicitely added modules. So, you'd end-up with somthing like this in your own web.config for your app:

<add name="AnonymousIdentification" type="System.Web.Security.AnonymousIdentificationModule" />
<add name="FileAuthorization" type="System.Web.Security.FileAuthorizationModule" />
<add name="Profile" type="System.Web.Profile.ProfileModule" />
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule"/>

<remove name="SPNativeRequestModule" />
<remove name="SPRequestModule" />
<remove name="ScriptModule" />
<remove name="SharePoint14Module" />
<remove name="StateServiceModule" />
<remove name="PublishingHttpModule" />
<remove name="DesignHttpModule" />
<remove name="FederatedAuthentication" />

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven. Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper and add to Dutch oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer to plate and set aside. Once cooled, shred with two forks.
Add ¼ cup olive oil to Dutch oven. Add sausage and cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 4-6 minutes. Transfer sausage to plate.
To the oil, whisk in flour to make roux. Keep stirring for about 3-4 minutes, until roux browns and smells nutty. If it seems too dry add a little bit more olive oil.
Stir in onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Mix to coat and cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, water, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cover for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in Sriracha and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
Remove bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Serve gumbo over rice topped with scallions.

Press Release Oct 15, 2012
Conservation Groups Challenge Approval of Power Line Planned to Cut Through Treasured National Parks
Susquehanna-Roseland line through New Jersey and Pennsylvania to cause significant harm to national parks
WASHINGTON, DC – A coalition of national, regional and local conservation groups in New Jersey and Pennsylvania filed suit in federal court todaychallenging the approval by the National Park Service (NPS) of a supersized transmission line that would cut through three popular national parks. The suit against the NPS challenges the agency's approval and environmental review of the 500-kilovolt (kV) Susquehanna-Roseland transmission line through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River, and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (collectively, the "parks"). Despite NPS's governing mandate to protect the National Park System and to prevent impairment to park resources, the NPS has authorized a project that the agency acknowledges will have serious and enduring impacts on the parks.
"This decision by the Park Service will permanently scar the landscape and degrade the visitor experience in some of the most visited national parks in the country," said Hannah Chang, attorney with the public interest environmental law firm Earthjustice, representing the conservation groups in the lawsuit along with the New Jersey based non-profit Eastern Environmental Law Center. "And what's worse, the damage from constructing and operating this 500-kV electric transmission line on nearly 200-foot-tall towers through these treasured places is unnecessary. Serious questions have been raised about the need for this project."
Several conservation groups have questioned the need for the transmission line in the still undecided appeal of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities' approval of the project.
The new transmission line to be built by Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania Power and Light Electric Utilities (PPL) in Pennsylvania will largely follow the route of an existing 85-year-old power line, but the new towers will rise more than twice as high as the existing towers and would include clearing substantially more trees and the construction of access roads through the Parks.
"The NPS decision is extraordinarily disappointing. It clearly violates the founding law of national parks, which requires the agency to 'conserve the scenery' and protect park resources from impairment," said Cinda Waldbuesser, Pennsylvania senior program manager for the National Parks Conservation Association. "America's national parks are special places, set aside for inspiration and recreation, and are not blank spots on the map, conveniently set aside for development projects like super-sized transmission lines."
"The Delaware Water Gap is a cherished and irreplaceable public resource," said Mark Zakutansky, Mid-Atlantic Policy Manager for the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). "The AMC worked to save this unique natural area from the Tocks Island Dam project over 40 years ago. Our volunteers have invested over 50,000 hours building and maintaining trails there, and each year we introduce over 10,000 people to the area through outdoor programs. Millions of people from New York City and Philadelphia find respite in the area's magnificent views and recreational opportunities. We cannot stand on the sidelines while the Delaware Water Gap is permanently despoiled and we will fight once again to protect it."
The conservation groups are challenging NPS's approval of the transmission line as a violation of the National Park Service Organic Act and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. They also point to deficiencies in the agency's required environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act. "We continue to be concerned that the impacts to the scenic values of these national treasures have not been adequately addressed during the environmental review process," said Mark Wenger, Executive Director for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
"The National Park Service's Environmental Impact Statement failed to assess fully the total and cumulative impacts outside the parks that will have both direct and indirect effects on the downstream natural resources within the park," said Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper. "The power line will cross over both the Lackawaxen River and Bushkill Creek outside the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Construction impacts, including clear-cutting forests, filling wetlands, and building roads, will harm water quality and habitat because both of these tributaries flow directly into the Delaware River within the park."
The coalition of groups are asking the court to overturn the NPS decision to permit the transmission line through national park land and to stop construction until the NPS complies with federal law.
The proposed Susquehanna-Roseland transmission line is a 145 mile, 500 kV transmission line from Berwick, Pennsylvania to Roseland, New Jersey that will bring coal-fired and other sources of power from Pennsylvania to urban areas in the mid-Atlantic region. According to PSE&G and PPL, construction should be completed and the power line operational by the summer of 2015.
"The construction of high-voltage transmission lines like the Susquehanna-Roseland line impedes the development of the renewable energy resources that are our future," said Dave Slaperud of Stop the Lines. "Running from coal country to the mid-Atlantic states, this transmission line threatens to perpetuate electricity generated from dirty and antiquated coal-fired power plants."
The 4.3 miles of the transmission line that runs through national park lands crosses unique and sensitive resources. In a July 2012 environmental impact study conducted for the NPS (click here to view), the human use and ecological impacts from the project were estimated at $89 million.
As announced in the Park Service's October 1 Record of Decision, the utilities have agreed to pay $56 million in return for damaging the parks. This compensatory mitigation and its underlying methodology and rationale were never previously disclosed or explained by the Park Service during the environmental review process.
"You cannot mitigate for the degradation of a national park or a portion of the Appalachian Trail," said Marc Ross, Executive Director of Rock the Earth.
The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the Delaware River that flows through it, and the famed Appalachian Trail that traverses its ridges attract more than 5.2 million visitors a year who want to enjoy the recreational opportunities of the Delaware's clean, free-flowing waters and the park's spellbinding waterfalls and diverse wildlife that include bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and black bears. The National Recreation Area was named a Top 10 most-photogenic national park nationwide for fall foliage. The Delaware River is the last free-flowing river east of the Mississippi. The Appalachian Trail, completed 75 years ago and designated as the nation's first national scenic trail in 1968, is enjoyed by nearly three million people each year. Together, these national parks offer the very best outdoor recreational opportunities for those living in the mid-Atlantic region.
"Trail Conference volunteers built the Appalachian Trail along the Kittatinny ridgeline to take advantage of the glorious views," said Ed Goodell of New York–New Jersey Trail Conference. "Now, 50 or more transmission towers will blight the viewpoints along 20 miles of Appalachian Trail."
"We have no recourse but to take this issue to the courts. We will fight for the integrity of our parks even if the National Park Service won't," said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "What's at stake is the protection of valuable public lands cherished by millions of outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. If they can do this here, what's next – the Everglades, Yosemite, Yellowstone?"
The lawsuit was filed by Earthjustice and Eastern Environmental Law Center on behalf of the Appalachian Mountain Club, Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, New Jersey Highlands Coalition, New York–New Jersey Trail Conference, National Parks Conservation Association, Rock the Earth, Sierra Club, and Stop the Lines.

More than 20 years ago, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck ordered coffee at a McDonald's drive-through in Albuquerque, N.M. She spilled the coffee, was burned, and one year later, sued McDonald's. The jury awarded her $2.9 million. Her story became a media sensation and fodder for talk-show hosts, late-night comedians, sitcom writers and even political pundits.
