He loves getting out into the sunshine, jumping around on the steps and hanging out on the hammock. We know that he's safe and sound and also out of harm's way from other neighborhood cats and roaming dogs.
I have already recommended Catnip to many other friends and will continue to do so…..for the safety of pets adored by their owners!
We lost our previous beloved cat to the neighbor's dogs (attacked & killed when our cat strayed into their backyard) so we're very strict with Indy – he's not getting outside at all – except for the catnip enclosure! So happy that we've got it installed.
Thank you for your unique product. It works exceptionally well – providing our 2 cats with quite a degree of freedom, as well as giving them the additional benefit of being able to be outside at night time should they choose – something of course that has been denied to them before. As far as us humans are concerned, we are enjoying the return of birds as well as ease of mind, knowing that our cats aren't stalking the wildlife or annoying our neighbors.
Because I was able to have my design built to fit our outdoor area exactly our cats have the best of both worlds with some of their run being outside but still under cover in our outdoor entertainment area…. and some of it out in the open air.
So it means even on rainy days they can enjoy the fresh air outside without getting wet.
I have just had the outside enclosure fitted and am thrilled with it. 'The Boys' love it and I have attached a pic of them enjoying it. Though I do not have the room for anything larger, this enclosure will at least give the cats access to fresh air, sunshine and generally viewing of what's going on in the outside world.
Thanks to Dale Miller for installing the enclosure, he is very professional and reliable. When he says he will be there at 10am – he is there then!


Community Three is using Smore newsletters to spread the word online.
September is off to a great start! Learners enjoyed their first Pep Rally of the year, and many of them have been getting involved in PRS activities. Community 3 friends have been spotted at PRS football games, volleyball matches, and cross-country meets! The learners and Lead Learners are all looking forward to our upcoming field trip to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival to see "Charlotte's Web." Each class either has already or soon will be reading the novel, as well. We are excited to see how they compare!
As we are preparing for this field trip, some of our patriots are not able to attend for financial reasons. If you would like to donate to the Field Trip Scholarship Fund, please let your lead learner know by sending in your money this Monday (labeled for the Field Trip Scholarship Fund). Any donations are appreciated!
This week in math, your child has been focusing on subtracting numbers within 1,000. Learners have also worked with problems that involve regrouping! Throughout the year, we will continue cycling back to addition and subtraction as we build up to multiple-step word problems.
Our next focus is shifting to multiplication. We will be learning strategies to multiply, such as repeated addition, making equal groups, creating arrays, and skip counting. Learners will also need to understand that multiplication is a comparison. For example, 20 is 5 times as many as 4 and 4 times as many as 5. Be on the lookout for more information and help needed for Multiplication Sundaes. This is great motivation for learners to develop automaticity with their multiplication facts!
You can view our Math standards at: http://alex.state.al.us/standardAll.php?grade=3&subject=MA2015&summary=2. This will give you an idea of the material we will be covering over the course of this year.
Working together to problem solve with a "Stick-It"
Each learner in the group solved the problem independently. Then, they share their solutions and reasoning with the group. Together, the group chooses the "best" solution to present.
Who will win this round? Games make learning fun!
C3 Learners have been busy writing! Our focus in the past few weeks has been on the process of writing, what writers "do" when they write. We have talked about why writers write, how writers get their ideas, and the different things we do with our writing from start to finish. Learners have been brainstorming different writing topics, drafting various pieces in their writing folders and sharing those ideas and drafts with their peers. The "process of writing" will guide us throughout the year, as we weave in the different types of writing (narrative, opinion, and informational) and various craft lessons to continually strengthen the different things we write.
In reading we have been looking at the structure of stories, focusing on plot. Learners have been analyzing stories to find the sequence of events, problem, and resolution. We will continue this, but our focus will shift to plays and scripts and how they are structured differently.
The English Language Arts standards for our grade level can be found at: http://alex.state.al.us/standardAll.php?grade=3&subject=ELA2015&summary=2.
After several weeks of studying about our continents and oceans, we will begin introducing our first project "From Seed to Table." Learners will be exploring the question, "What will it become?". We will be planting a cabbage garden. Our goal with the project is to use this garden to improve academic achievement, promote healthy lifestyles, encourage community involvement, social development, and connect to the natural world. This project will offer different opportunities depending on each individual learner's curiosity to explore a certain aspect of our garden Learner will have different milestones during each phase of the project. We encourage you to ask your learners about this project to help us expand their curiosity. We ask for your support in this exciting time by sending in a concrete block or $2. This will help us as we are stirring curiosity, making learning authentic, and being innovative!
Please take a moment to discuss with your learner what ala carte items you approve of him or her purchasing each week. You can view their purchases and add money to their accounts online at http://PayPAMS.com.
We encourage ALL of our parents to join the PTSA! Each Lead Learner has joined already. Invite grandparents, neighbors, and community members to join and support PRS. The PTSA does a great deal of fantastic things for our school.
and influence to make the world a better place.
to think, innovate, and create.
Students may be dropped off beginning at 7:30.


Does this sound like a place you'd like to work?
But this is how classroom teachers and school principals describe what it's like to work in public schools.
The comments come from a new survey of K-12 educators nationwide that yielded responses from 2,964 teachers and principals from 48 states. The survey was conducted by the Network for Public Education, a grassroots public school advocacy group founded by public school advocates, parents, educators, and university professors, including education historian Diane Ravitch. NPE recently released the survey findings in a report titled "Teachers Talk Back: Educators on the Impact of Teacher Evaluation" at its national conference in Raleigh, N.C.
The survey findings add strong anecdotal weight to previous statistical surveys of teachers that have found their work dissatisfaction is at an all time high. A survey from 2012, found teacher job satisfaction has plummeted to 39 percent, its lowest level in 25 years, according to one review of the findings.
Findings from a more recent survey, published in 2015, revealed only 15 percent of teachers feel enthusiastic about the profession, and about three in four "often" feel stressed by their jobs.
One likely outcome of this high work dissatisfaction rate among teachers is that many states and school districts are now reporting acute teacher shortages. One major school system, Philadelphia, still struggles to fill teacher vacancies, even as the current school year nears end.
Meanwhile, other reports reveal record low numbers of college students enrolling into teacher preparation programs, foretelling even worse teacher shortages in the future.
Certainly, it doesn't help that teacher salaries are stagnant. As an op ed writer in a recent U.S. News and World Report noted, "Teachers haven't gotten a raise in 15 years." But poor teacher pay is a chronic problem that doesn't by itself explain the shortages.
Teacher pension programs are also being chiseled away, but why would even short-timers – such as those coming from Teach for America, whose recruitment is down 35 percent over three years – be discouraged?
Indeed, the NPE survey reveals there are factors other than economics that are making teachers' work-lives miserable.
As an article for Education Week explains, the NPE survey had a specific target in mind: to paint a qualitative, descriptive portrait of the effects of new teacher evaluation systems that are now in place in most schools.
In 2012, the promise U.S. Education Secretary Duncan and other education policy advocates made was the new evaluation process would lead to closing the notorious achievement gap between black and brown low-income kids and their higher performing white and more well-to-do peers. We were told the evaluations would ensure the worst teachers would be weeded out of the system, the best teachers would emerge from the scores, and these revelations would ensure districts could reassign the most effective teachers to schools with the most struggling students.
The theory was never based on evidence.
The VAM process might make sense in manufacturing or agriculture, but in the flesh-and-blood education profession, classroom teachers hate it.
As the NPE survey finds, "83 percent of respondents said the inclusion of student standardized test scores in teacher evaluations has had a negative impact on classroom instruction." Teachers overwhelmingly complain the evaluations pressure them to focus on test scores to the detriment of focusing on their relationships with their students. Many think the new evaluation systems reflect racial biases, and most think they unfairly target more experienced staff. In other words, a process that is seemingly objective – through the automation of computers – yields results that are similar to inequities that are all too common in many workplaces.
What's worse, teachers believe the test-based evaluations damage the education process itself. The EdWeek reporter writes, "Teachers reported that they now felt forced to 'teach to the test,' instead of planning fun or meaningful units and spend hours poring over data instead of brainstorming ways to better reach their students.
NPE is not the only organization to reveal the immense distrust teachers have for these evaluations. According to a recent survey, 81 percent of State Teachers of the Year award-winners and finalists strongly disagree with federal policy requirements to use standardized test scores in teacher evaluations.
"Parents … should think twice when politicians say they can use complex computer programs to identify and get rid of failing teachers," warns New York attorney Bruce Lederman in a recent op ed.
Lederman's wife, a fourth-grade teacher, was labeled "ineffective" by New York's VAM evaluation system because she had a student who scored 98 on his standardized math tests. You read that right. The student got two questions wrong on the three-day test but the teacher was deemed ineffective because the computer program gave her a "growth score" of 22 out of 100. You see, the same student scored 100 on his third grade math test the previous year.
"This shows the danger of relying on complex computer programs that claim to be able to predict performance and rate people's job performances," Lederman writes.
Results like what Lederman, and others, reports defy common sense and are causing experts to speak out more forcefully for a reconsideration of these approaches.
"I'm deeply troubled by the transformation of teaching from a complex profession requiring nuanced judgment to the performance of certain behaviors that can be ticked off on a checklist," writes Charlotte Danielson in a recent opinion column for Education Week. "It's time for a major rethinking of how we structure teacher evaluation," she declares.
Despite Danielson's reflective moment, there are nevertheless hangers-on to the belief in test-based teacher evaluations. One of their last handholds on the slippery slope to irrelevancy is a recent study of the test-based evaluation system in Washington, DC conceived under the administration of former chancellor Michelle Rhee. That study found the higher rate of teacher turnover caused by the more onerous evaluations may have led to more teachers rated "ineffective" who were in turn replaced with teachers who eventually rated "effective." The "positive" turnover may have been a factor that ultimately boosted student achievement.
But the study of the DC evaluation system is nowhere near as conclusive as proponents of the status quo suggest. Furthermore, who can doubt the somewhat circular logic that designing education systems that increasingly emphasize student test scores – which are rather questionable measures of student learning and education quality – may eventually yield higher student test scores? But how does this drive to have effects on the almighty test scores justify abusing teachers rights?
"It is difficult if not impossible to isolate the impact of a single individual on a student because teaching is a collaborative and developmental process," write the assessment experts at the website of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, FairTest.org. Their analysis of VAM-based teacher evaluations finds numerous reasons to abandon these systems and no justifications that bear up under scrutiny.
Fortunately, there is an opportunity to lift the burden of these evaluations and develop alternatives based on what makes sense to teachers and what might also bolster student learning.
With the enactment of a new national education policy, known as the Every Student Succeeds Act, the federal government is now prohibited from requiring states to use student test scores in teacher evaluations. The law provides funding for states to invest in systems that provide better feedback, but the burden of developing these systems clearly shifts to the states. What will they do?
Classroom teachers themselves have lots of worthy ideas for how to measure their work performance and the performance of their peers. Maybe it's time lawmakers listen to them?
No one doubts that teachers, and employees of any kind, need to be evaluated and can indeed benefit from an evaluation system that provides supports for getting better. And the public has a right to know whether its tax dollars are being spent on teachers who do their jobs and schools that provide a quality education.
Using student test scores to determine measures of performance might provide us with some reassurance we are not throwing good money after bad, but it's a false reassurance. And in the meantime, we're making teachers miserable.
Now retired, I taught elementary special education (Resource Room) in NYC public schools for 27 years. I loved my students and believe that teaching is the highest calling. I also believe that public education is a vital cornerstone of our democracy. I valued myself and my students but never felt valued or supported by administrators or the Department of Education. As so many others did (and still do), I spent countless hours and dollars of my own to enrich every aspect of my students' educational experience. The Bush NCLB test-based evaluations were never based on evidence or improved education.
Thanks to the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000, banks, equity funds and the real estate industry receive very generous tax credits (continually reauthorized) for investing in charter schools. They reap huge profits while siphoning funds from already underfunded public schools and constantly promote the myth that public schools…and (unionized) teachers are doing a poor job. Charters claim to be public schools (because they receive taxpayer funds) but in reality they are destroying public education in our country.
Including student test results on teacher evaluations is stupid in my opinion. Why? Because every child has differing ability levels in various subjects and you can be the best teacher in the world but if you get children through the luck of the draw with sub-standard ability in a subject where they have to take things more slowly, of course your standardized test scores will not be up to par!
Today we too often encourage lumping all children into one big box…. you cannot do that in the real world and it is time that the people (mainly conservatives) who want us to do that were set straight.
Nobody cares what we think. This is about money.
As a retired teacher who spent a lifetime teaching in an inner city high school, I dare any educational reformer to walk in my shoes. Provide the students in the typical inner city high school with three compelling reasons WHY they should want to excel on the Standardized tests they are required to take.
As a result, test scores only measure what a bunch of blasé, know-it-all adolescents think of a boring, sterile academic exercise that has as much meaning to their daily lives, interests, or concerns as a war of cockroaches on one of the moons of Uranus.
As a fairly creative teacher with too much to teach and too little time, I could always find more productive ways to spend my classroom time, ways which involved a number of higher-level thinking skill on Bloom's Taxonomy.
Standardized testing was a waste of my time and the taxpayers' money.
P.S. I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to all teachers whom I left behind when I retired.

E3 has the experience to make your coal project a success.
E3 Consulting has provided expertise to more than 60 solid fuel projects totaling more than 20,000 megawatts of capacity. Our experience encompasses a project size from 18 MW to greater than 2,000 MW and includes a variety of technologies including pulverized coal combustion, stoker-fired boilers, bubbling bed, and fluidized bed combustion..
Our team members have an average of over 25 years of experience and have worked on a variety of technologies over the years, including Combustion Engineering, Energy Products of Idaho (EPI), Asea Brown Boveri, Alstom, Kvaerner, Tampella, Combustion Engineering, Babcock and Wilcox, and Foster Wheeler boilers used to combust coal, waste coal, and petroleum coke.
E3 served as the independent engineer on behalf of the lender providing financing for a portion of the John W. Turk Jr. Plant, a 600 MW net Ultra Super Critical (USC) coal-fired power station. The Project employed USC advanced coal combustion technology, a new, more efficient coal-fired boiler and turbine design that relies on higher steam temperatures (above 1,100 °F) than the conventional supercritical design. Over the 30-year life of the unit, the greater efficiency will enable it to consume two million less tons of coal and emit four million fewer tons of CO2 than the conventional supercritical unit of the same size. E3's scope of work included the review of all major plant contracts, contractor qualifications and staffing levels, environmental compliance and site conditions, analysis of plans for major maintenance and capital expenditures, and costs and schedule, among other tasks. The due diligence supported the Rural Utilities Service's Lien Machine Process and the interim and permanent financing for the Project.
E3 was subsequently engaged by the Arkansas Public Service Commission, the Louisiana Public Service Commission, the Public Utility Commission of Texas, and American Electric Power Company to serve as the Independent Monitor for Turk.
Serving as independent engineer, E3 provided a due diligence review and a valuation study of AES Eastern Energy, L.P. projects ("AEE"). AEE owns and operates several coal-fired power plants in western New York, including the Somerset, Greenidge, Cayuga, and Westover Generating Stations. During the due diligence phase, E3 reviewed power marketing activities, plant operations, performace evaluations, environmental compliance and site conditions, as well as a financial pro forma.
E3 served as the independent engineer for the financing of the Plum Point Energy Station, a 665 MW net coal-fired power station located roughly 40 miles north of Memphis Tennessee. The station burns Powder River Basin (PRB) sub bituminous pulverized coal and contains full emission controls to meet environmental standards. E3 undertook a limited technical due diligence review of the station on behalf of prospective investors. E3 was also retained as the independent engineer for East Texas Electric Cooperative's 50 MW portion of Plum Point Energy Station as part of the Rural Utilities Service's Lien Machine accommodation.

Thomas Feuerstein (born 1968, Innsbruck) is an Austrian contemporary artist. His works and projects are realized in different media. They include  sculptures, installations, environments, objects, drawings, paintings, radio plays as well net art and BioArt.  Feuerstein's work is known for growth and transience, processes of transformation, biological metabolism and entropy.

Biography
Thomas Feuerstein was born in Innsbruck, Austria, and lives in Vienna, Austria. He studied art history and philosophy at the University of Innsbruck from 1987 to 1995. From 1992 to 1994 he was co-editor of the magazine Medien.Kunst.Passagen. In 1992 and 1993 he worked on research assignments on electronic space as well as on art and architecture.
Since 1997 he has held lectureships and guest professorships at University of Applied Arts Vienna, University of the Arts Bern, F+F School for Art and Media Design Zurich, Mozarteum University Salzburg and University of Innsbruck.

Work
Feuerstein's work involves digital and biochemical processes and transmutations, with specific materialities playing a central role. Processes and materials are used both as carriers of meaning and narrations and in the form of materials, and ultimately become agents in art.
Essential aspects are the interplay of linguistic, visual and molecular-processual elements, the detection of latent links between facts and fictions as well as the entanglement between art and science. Feuerstein developed the artistic method of "conceptual narration" for this purpose.
At the border between nature, art and science, Feuerstein's works set in motion pataphysical cycles of the production of meaning and possibilities. The works contain pataphysical references to Alfred Jarry, Raymond Roussel or Marcel Duchamp. In contrast to historical pataphysics, machines, apparatuses and scientific methods are not only attributed metaphorical and symbolic meanings, but used for real processes. Feuerstein speaks of "patachemistry" and "patabiology" in the context of projects involving biological organisms and processes. Examples of this are metabolic processes in which artistic materials are produced, altered or digested in the form of objects and sculptures. References to aspects of entropy in Robert Smithson's work or to Robert Morris' form and anti-form can be found in works with biofilms, slime, fungi, and myxomycetes.

Digital Art
Since the late 1980s Feuerstein has developed algorithmic and cybernetic art. Initially as an extension of abstract art and concrete poetry, from the early 1990s he has used software to process online data: Hausmusik (1993) transposes stock market data into chamber music, Realdata Stampede (1994) converts news data into techno beats, Manifesto (2009) draws a cloud based on data from the Lloyd's of London insurance market. Proustmachine (1994) or Borgy & Bes (2008) use artificial neural networks to generate literary texts and linguistic dialogues.

Feuerstein's digital works examine cybernetic culture in the context of economy, politics, and posthumanism. For this purpose, he evolves a cybernetic demonology that, based on the Greek daimon, investigates cultural informatization from the Maxwell demon through server processes to big data and AI.

BioArt

The project Biophily (1993-2002) dealt with Internet geography and biotechnology. Feuerstein realized performative works in Tanzania, Namibia, India, California and Kyrgyzstan. In Trivandrum he had a Hindu avatar marry him to a rubber tree, to which his own genes were later added by means gene gun.
From the end of the 1990s, works and exhibitions with biological model organisms, own body cells, fungi and algae, bacteria and archaea followed.

In Manna Machines he cultivates algae, which are processed into pigment for monochrome paintings, food and spirits. In the exhibitions Psychoprosa, he extracts tyrosine from algae and psylocibine from mushrooms to synthesize a novel psychotropic substance that he describes as a molecular sculpture or ironically as the world's smallest sculpture.

An exemplary "patabiological" machine is the installation Pancreas, which feeds and nourishes glucose, extracted from the cellulose of books according to Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, to a culture of human brain cells.

In Prometheus delivered chemolithoautotrophic bacteria decompose a marble sculpture and in return nourish a culture of human liver cells.

The EU's Power Provisions: Is Texas a Reliable Indicator?
The Future Direction of Respiratory Protection
Changing the Power Industry Culture
02/01/2018 | Aaron Larson
The news has been filled with high-profile sexual harassment cases recently. Although more women seem to be coming forward lately to tell their stories and bring misconduct to light, it's far from a new phenomenon, and it's not isolated to politicians and the Hollywood elite.
The power industry has been a "men's club" for much of its history, and that comes with consequences. Crude behavior can flourish under such conditions. Although the culture may be improving, there is still more work to be done.
During my career, I have witnessed some changes first hand. When I joined the U.S. Navy in the mid-1980s, women were not allowed in the nuclear power program. However, during my service tenure, Congress repealed combat exclusion laws and women began entering the nuclear ranks. At the time, they were only allowed to serve on surface ships, but even that has changed now. According to an April 2017 Navy Times article, about 80 female officers and 50 enlisted women are now stationed on submarines.
When I left the military in 1999, I took a job at the Quad Cities nuclear plant in Cordova, Illinois. Quad Cities was emerging from a high-profile sexual harassment case when I arrived. Even though Commonwealth Edison, the majority owner and plant operator at the time, had an anti-harassment policy on the books, the rules hadn't prevented the development of what some women reported was "a hostile and sexually charged work environment."
According to a story published by the Chicago Tribune, one woman, who had worked in the electrical maintenance shop, was quoted as saying, "It was terrible in there. I told my girlfriend it was like going into a kindergarten class. They would jump on each other, punch each other. They used bad language all the time."
The misbehavior went well beyond verbal innuendo, however. In one purported incident, a woman's bra strap was snapped and her shirt was ripped by a male employee. Another time, a male employee allegedly exposed his genitals to a female employee in an elevator. A foreman was involved in another incident; he reportedly greased up his hands and grabbed a woman's buttocks, leaving handprints, and he was said to have reached for the woman's breasts as well.
Three employees, including a manager, were ultimately fired due to misconduct at Quad Cities. The company also reprimanded other workers at the site. By the time I got there, significant steps had been taken to change the culture, and expectations were very clear—inappropriate behavior would not be tolerated.
Changing Company Culture
From my perspective, the culture at Quad Cities did change following the lawsuit. However, a workplace doesn't have to go through such a negative ordeal to facilitate change.
An article titled "The Leader's Guide to Corporate Culture: How to Manage the Eight Critical Elements of Organizational Life" was published in the January-February 2018 issue of the Harvard Business Review. The authors defined corporate culture as "the tacit social order of an organization." They said it shapes attitudes and behaviors in wide-ranging and durable ways, noting that it is shared, pervasive, enduring, and implicit.
In research conducted for the article, the cultures of more than 230 companies were analyzed, along with the leadership styles and values of more than 1,300 executives. Several culture styles emerged. The spectrum varied from flexible to stable and from independent to interdependent. Regardless of the existing style, the authors suggested that certain steps can be taken to change the culture.
First, they said, the current culture must be assessed. Leaders must "understand what outcomes the culture produces and how it does or doesn't align with current and anticipated market and business conditions." Once management really understands the playing field, it can establish a target culture to shoot for.
Leaders set the tone. They "serve as important catalysts for change by encouraging it at all levels and creating a safe climate." New leadership candidates should be evaluated on their alignment with the target culture, and incumbent leaders who are unsupportive must become engaged and realigned through training and education. It was noted that culture change can, and does, lead to turnover—some employees leave on their own volition, some not.
Organizational conversations about culture must be used to underscore the importance of change. Some conversational examples that support change include "road shows, listening tours, and structured group discussions." In some cases, the overall organizational design must be modified to reinforce the change. Strengths and gaps must be evaluated, and a restructuring of leadership roles may be necessary.
The authors offered one example in which a company's top leaders invited a large group of middle managers into the discussion. Leadership conferences were held, and "a platform for input, feedback, and the cocreation of an organizational change plan with clear cultural priorities" was established. The initiative placed middle managers in change roles traditionally filled by vice presidents.
In the end, it doesn't matter how a company goes about changing its corporate culture, just that it does when conditions warrant it. Clearly, any corporate culture that allows harassment and other misconduct to be tolerated needs to be quickly corrected. ■

The Escapism of a Virtual Cooking Class
The Escapism and Camaraderie of a Zoom Cooking Class
In "Until Further Notice," an out-of-work chef and dozens of amateur cooks find community at the height of the COVID lockdown.
By Helen Rosner
The digital spaces where we find one another are symphonies of beeps and hums: the chime of an incoming text message, the whoosh of a sent e-mail, the marimba couplet of a new face popping up in a group video chat. They're no substitute for shouted greetings or close embraces, but for many who have been keeping friends and loved ones at a distance during the past year of pandemic-induced isolation, these technological chirps have become something like proof of life, an ambient soundtrack of human connection. These sounds, melodic and percussive, cascade through the opening minutes of "Until Further Notice," a documentary from the director Tiffany Hsiung about an unlikely community: a weekly cooking class, taught via Zoom, whose students come together in uncommon intimacy during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
In April, 2020, a little more than a month after Ontario, Canada, went into covid-19 lockdown, Luke Donato felt like he was falling apart. Six months earlier, after the birth of his son, he'd taken a step back from his job as an executive chef at a hip Toronto restaurant, assuming that it would be a temporary leave of absence. But, amid a wave of coronavirus-related closures, his hiatus suddenly became indefinite, and the entire restaurant industry was in free fall. Donato was overwhelmed by a sense of existential paralysis. "I've never, in over twenty years, seen Luke go through something like this," Hsiung, a longtime friend of Donato's, told me during a conference call with the chef. "He was always the rock — the centerpiece." Donato wondered if starting a cooking class might lift his spirits; on April 28th, a small group of friends, including Hsiung, gathered on Zoom, for a lesson in making butter chicken. Read the full piece at The New Yorker.

Getting a Spanish residency permit is required to live in the country, and, in some cases, to make regular visits. In Spain, there are different types of residency permits.
If you're the owner of a property valued at over €500,000 or you're prepared to invest €1 million in the country's economy, you can be considered an investor and apply for permanent residency in Spain.
There are certain restrictions applied to owners of real estate. First, the sale must have been conducted after 2013. This is tied to the date when the law "To support entrepreneurs and their internationalization", dated September 27, 2013 (Ley 14/2013) was passed, which creates a route to Spanish residency for entrepreneurs.
Second, the amount of the real estate investment equal or greater to €500,000 must be done with resources available, without requesting a mortgage loan.
If you don't wish to acquire property , you can make an investment in large business projects in the Spanish economy for the value of €1 million. You can do this through the purchase of government bonds or bank deposits.
Your first residency permit in Spain will expire at the end of 2 years and can be renewed for the same length of time. After living in Spain for 5 years or longer, you can obtain permanent residency in Spain.

We offer a unique and alternative treatment for spasmodic dysphonia, as well as non-surgical solutions for various voice disorders.
By Diana Yampolsky By Diana Yampolsky | The Royans Institute for Non-Surgical Voice Repair
See all Articles by Diana YampolskySee Diana Yampolsky's Expert PageGet Updates on Alternative MedicineGet Updates on Diana Yampolsky
We have many people inquiring about various voice disorders; but the most nasty of them I would qualify as Spasmodic Dysphonia – especially for sufferers whose speech has been severely compromised due to that disorder.
The above-described voice disorder sufferers have been experiencing uncontrolled spasms in their voice, which sometimes also travels to their vocal anatomy from their chest or even their stomach!
I could, perhaps, compare it to a form of epilepsy; and in this case, I personally gave it the name of "vocal epilepsy".
The sufferers of spasmodic dysphonia also often have difficulties to swallow their saliva and some foods for that matter.
It is definitely a disorder of a neurological nature, but also (and I am quite sure of it) is, quite often, emotionally induced. Due to this fact, it often manifests in the various organs of one's physical body; whereas, unfortunately, the human voice is not excluded.
'Is this disorder curable', you, my reader, may ask?
My answer would be that, in majority of cases, it is not; but in my very unique approach to voice mechanics and to the human as a whole, it can be very-much-so well treated and controlled to the point of nearly 100% of spasm reduction in one's speech.
The fact is that with the proper breathing mechanism instilled in the individual, the voice gets lifted off of the vocal box and off of the vocal anatomy as a whole. Thus, the throat, larynx and vocal cords get the needed relief from the pressure of the sound of the voice.
Needless to say that, in this instance, the sound having the air (fuel underneath of it, in a manner of speaking), will "fly to its programed, aimed destination". But the above can only happen if the rest of that wholesome mechanism will also be intact. I am talking about the support, structure and placement of the sound in the designated facial cavities (the sinus cavities, if you will).
Once this described above mechanism works in one's body in the fullest capacity possible, the voice will be shifted to and operated by a different set of muscles altogether…
The above described is the essence of the Vocal Science™ Method and Technique which, in turn, will assure the human voice (speaking and/or singing) working to its best capacity and thus, ability. Therefore, many of the voice/vocal disorders (and even including such a nasty one as spasmodic dysphonia), may be greatly eliminated.
To conclude:
I often ask my present and former clients "What price tag you could put on the above descriptions"?
Needless to say, the common opinion is… The Vocal Science™ approach, method and technique… is simply priceless!
Ms. Yampolsky is one of the world's foremost specialists on the topic of the human voice and is the creator of Vocal Science(TM), a unique and truly revolutionary accelerated vocal development technique. It is a holistic and scientific approach to voice mechanics that enables all singers and speakers to reach their full potential in an extremely short period of time. Based in Ontario, Canada, Diana works with a worldwide spectrum of clientele as a Vocal Coach/Consultant, In-Studio Vocal Production Expert and Non-Surgical Voice Repair Specialist.

THE LITTLE HOURS (90 R)
A young servant fleeing from his master takes refuge at a convent full of emotionally unstable nuns in the Middle Ages. Introduced as a deaf blind man, he must fight to hold his cover as the nuns try to resist temptation.
Director: Jeff Baena
Writer: Jeff Baena
Stars: Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Kate Micucci, Aubrey Plaza, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, Jemima Kirke, Nick Offerman
"The Little Hours," a film with echoes of Mel Brooks in its non-contemporary setting, broad physical comedy, unexpected punchlines, and gigantic ensemble (seriously, every other face is a recognizable one). Baena uses one of the stories of The Decameron as the inspiration for a comedy of religious people who don't exactly have the expected moral code for a film set in a 14th century convent. Baena may have used The Decameron explicitly but he's also inspired by physically-driven comedies of the '70s and '80s, with echoes of "The History of the World, Part 1" and Monty Python's work. It's often hysterically funny, especially when allowing its talented cast to play up to their individual strengths.
That cast is led by Alison Brie as Sister Allesandra, living a simple life in a convent, although her sisters are jealous of her greater creature comforts courtesy of her father's (Paul Reiser) donations to the church. Said sisters include the foul-mouthed and possibly sociopathic Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza) and the more demure and chaste Ginerva (Kate Micucci). Their simple life is interrupted when a young man named Massetto (Dave Franco) takes up residence as a handyman in their convent. Hidden there by Father Tommasso (John C. Reilly), Massetto pretends to be a deaf-mute (again, so Brooks) so as not to raise suspicions. Of course, this only makes him more fascinating to the sisters, who all try to sleep with him. Molly Shannon co-stars and Nick Offerman and Fred Armisen practically steal the movie in just a few scenes.
"The Little Hours" can be summarized in the word "enjoyable." I laughed, multiple times. And that's really all Baena wants here. He's not making any grand statements about religion or sexuality. He just wants you to laugh. And I did. A lot.

        {

            Forms.SetFlags("Shapes_Experimental");
            Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();
            LoadApplication(new App());

            return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
        }

in Android -> MainActivity
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;

            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
            Forms.SetFlags("Shapes_Experimental");
            Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
            global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
            LoadApplication(new App());
        }

Driven to despair by her husband's endless abuse and ridicule, Lucinda, Lady Denbigh, can endure no more. With no one to turn to, she flees London to take quiet refuge in the countryside, determined to build a new life of her own. Posing as a widow, she finds a small cottage to lease on the far reaches of a vast estate, relieved that she might finally find peace and safety—until her new landlord, the strikingly handsome and taciturn Lord Hugo Wanstead, presents an entirely different kind of threat to her composure.
Just back from the wars, Hugo is tormented by the physical and emotional scars that mark him. With his estate near financial ruin and his sleep torn by nightmares, he wishes only to be left in solitude. But when he meets the new widowed tenant on his estate, he finds her hauntingly beautiful in body and soul—and finds himself overcome by powerful sensual longing.
While the gentle Lucinda conjures up ways to draw the handsome and hurting Hugo out of his loneliness, he's intrigued by her courage and her lively mind.

What book do you like best?! Describe!
What Book do you like better?
Re: What book do you like best?! Describe!
Yesterday. Its...good. But Catching Fire really ground my gears. It didn't really serve much other than to shift things forward...I mean it was a good book but I dunno.
I liked Catching, I felt that it gave nice background info for Kat's Mom and Haymich.
There was that, yes. I think I was expecting the whole book to be about the victory tour, but it only was a couple pages...that's what set me off-track.
The District details were cool too. Useful for fanfiction if nothing else.
I also liked Finnick, that one of the reasons I liked this book.
Finncik was cool, his death sucked.
And yes, several actually. One with Anchorgurl1 with a romance between victors from 2 and 3 (I like 3 the best for some reason), a crossover with Halo, and a war fic focusing on the rebellion.
I call dibs on Johnna Mason. Even if she is crazy. Albeit MOST of the victors are crazy...whatev.
And yes, you will have your chance to rea.
Then it's settled. Straif will have Johnna, Fanna gets Finnick, and I will have Cinna.
Well, no word of God says he is or isn't so it's swingable. Way I see it, he's bi. Hence why he's so good at doing Katniss's clothes; he sees her both as a victor AND as a...not crush, I would say, but someone to be interested in.
my fictional husband is bi, surprisingly i'm cool with that. . .
Most people are nowadays, at least in Seattle. Its the new "thing"; same as how more girls are saying they're lesbian even if they aren't. We have few bi males from what I can tell...lots of gay ones though.

Do your best work, bacteria. And as reward, I will eat you.
This one is a mung bean sprout fermentation attempt. Carrots and kraut turned out well, and the next experiment-attempt is this, set up yesterday for whiffing and tasting in three or four days. It's a simple packdown of two batches of mung beans sprouted from dry beans for about four days, 1/4 cup times two (that is, in two different sproutsing jars). Read around online to find very little about fermenting sprouts, some suggesting salt massaged beginning, comparable to sauerkraut, others suggesting a simple brine over the top, which is what I did, just after this photo–two tablespoons of kosher salt (just a fuzz less, actually) into a quart of water to heat and dissolve, cool a little bit and then pour over. Two pulls of the de-oxygenating pump to extract air. In the morning, liquid had expanded to overflowing the lid, but otherwise they're on their way to what I hope will be sourbliss and nothing rotten or funky or toxic.

Wadsworth Cemetery
This cemetery was formerly known as the Old Putnam Burying Ground. Benjamin Wadsworth, the 7th minister of the First Church of Danvers (North Parish) which he served for 53 years, purchased it in 1826. It has been operated by the Wadsworth Cemetery Association since 1913.
The wives of the first four ministers of Salem Village are buried here. In graves that no longer bear markings are: James Bayley's wife Mary née Carr; George Burroughs' first two wives Hannah née Fisher and Sarah née Ruck; and Deodat Lawson's wife Jane (maiden name unknown). Reverend Samuel Parris's wife Elizabeth's gravestone is just barely readable today.

N.E.R.D. Gave Late Night an Energy Boost on 'Kimmel'
They played "Lemon" and "1000" from their new album 'NO_ONE EVER REALLY DIES,' out today.
by Lauren O'Neill
London, GB
At the stroke of midnight, N.E.R.D. released their first album in seven years, NO_ONE EVER REALLY DIES, and to celebrate in the proper fashion, they dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform a couple new tracks.
We got a very energetic version of "Lemon," where Rihanna's part was respectfully played while dancer Mette Towley (you'll recognize her from the track's music video) did her thing, and as a bonus, they also played the Future-featuring "1000" (see it below), unfortunately sans Future. From their appearance as a whole, it seems that happily, N.E.R.D. are back with full force. Long may it continue.

Hilarie Burton's Kids Make Jeffrey Dean Morgan Watch 'Les Miserables' Every Christmas
By Emily Longeretta
Everyone has their own traditions! For Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's kids, it's watching Les Misérables on Christmas day! The proud mother of two opened up to Us Weekly about her big plans – and noted that her husband isn't crazy about them.
Relive Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton's Best Quotes About Marriage and Family
"My family watches the same two movies every Christmas and it kills my husband. He likes the Die Hard of it all. We can definitely fit Die Hard in, and then Les Mis," Burton, 36, told Us Weekly. "My son is obsessed with Les Mis. My whole family is obsessed with Les Mis, and poor Jeffrey is just like, 'I don't understand why they're singing, like why are they singing?'"
She then quipped, "It's how you start a new year folks, a little revolution. It gets you pumped for everything that's coming up!"

Morgan, 52, and the One Tree Hill alum share two children, 8-year-old son Augustus and 9-month-old daughter George.
'One Tree Hill' Cast: Then and Now
In fact, the actress also revealed that she filmed her upcoming Lifetime movie, The Christmas Contract, only three months after giving birth to George. Luckily, she was surrounded by her One Tree Hill costars on set.
"This is probably the only situation that I would have gone back to work in," she told Us, adding that producer Daniel Lewis had called her when she was pregnant and she told him she'd do it after she had the baby! So, she returned to work when her daughter was three months old. "He knew to surround me with people that I love, because it makes going back so much easier … When you're dealing with postpartum hair loss and weird mom stuff, I don't need strangers. I just want to be around my friends."
Lifetime's Christmas Movies Are Full of Powerful Women
Luckily, she had her mom come to set to help keep an eye on the kids!
The Christmas Contract airs on Lifetime Thursday, November 22, at 8 p.m. ET. It is followed by a special One Tree Hill cast reunion at 10 p.m. ET.

Published on: August 6, 2022 by Naresh Bhakar
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in simple words polymerase chain reaction or PCR is a technique that is used to make several copies of a small fragment of DNA or RNA. if understand the meaning of the words in PCR. The name itself PCR is made up of two words polymerase and chain reaction.
Polymerase means an enzyme that makes polymers of any other the molecule which in this technique is the DNA chain reaction. this is a type of reaction that progresses in an exponential way in simple terms if the first reaction produces two molecules the second reaction will make four and the third will make sixteen copies and then 32, 64, 128, and 512 copies, and so on so in a matter of just a few a hundred reactions we can synthesize billions of copies of a single fragment of Deoxyribonucleic acid.
Billion DNA copy is used for the diagnosis of different types of virus infections, crime investigation, and genetic research.
Requirement for Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Polymerase chain (PCR) Technique
1. Denaturation at 94 °C for 1 minute:
2. Annealing at 54 °C for 45 seconds:
3. Extension at 72 °C for 2 minutes:
Materials required for PCR:
Two primers, each about 20 bases long with a sequence complementary to the sequence immediately adjacent to the DNA segment of interest.
DNA polymerase (e.g., TAQ polymerase) can sustain high temperatures. TAC polymerase is a type of DNA polymerase and like DNA replication in any organism PCR requires a DNA polymerase enzyme that makes new strands of DNA using existing strands as templates the DNA polymerase typically used in PCR is called dark polymerase after the heat-tolerant bacteria from which was isolated named Thermos Aquaticus this material lives in hot springs and it's DNA polymerase is very heat stable and it is most active at around 70 degrees this heat stability is ideal as high temperatures are needed for this reaction
A large number of free deoxynucleotides (dNTPs)
The target DNA fragment.
The hydrogen bonds between the bases of DNA are broken by the high temperature (92 to 94 degrees Celsius), which causes the two DNA strands to separate. The priming sequences for the desired region are added, and the temperature is then dropped. This is done because all enzymes that replicate DNA need short sequences known as primers.
Primer: DNA polymerase Required primers to start the reaction as the polymerase cannot initiate this reaction but can only propagate it. PCR primers are short sequences of nucleotides usually around 20 nucleotides in length primers provide a starting point for DNA synthesis. primers are also important as they help to select the right part of DNA that will be amplified and we use such primers in each PCR reaction.
The DNA's individual strands' sequences and the primers anneal together. TAC polymerase then synthesizes a new DNA strand that is bound to the primers and complementary to each of the original strands by adding nucleotides.
The sample is then heated again in order to split the strands and release the primer, after which it is once again cooled to allow for more DNA duplication. The quantity of DNA strands is doubled after just a few minutes of each round. The process is repeated many more times The high temperature (92 to 94 degrees Celsius) disrupts the hydrogen bonds between the bases of DNA and results in the separation of the two DNA strands.
The primer sequences for the desired region are added, and the temperature is then decreased, as all enzymes that replicate DNA need short sequences known as primers. The primers anneal with sequences on each strand of the DNA, and Tag then uses added nucleotides to synthesize it new strand of DNA that is attached to the primers and complementary to each of the original strands.
A PCR has three main processes that are performed for 30 or 40 cycles. This is carried out using an automated cycler, which can quickly heat and cool the tubes containing the reaction mixture.
Denaturation is the process of DNA separation into fragments. Through this process, DNA's two strands are split apart. The double strand of DNA melts open to form single-stranded DNA during denaturation. The two DNA strands separate as a result of the hydrogen bonds between DNA bases being broken by the high temperature (94 °C).
The process of Heating and then cooling is basically annealing. Synthetic oligonucleotide primer pairs are permitted to bind to the corresponding base sequences on the separated DNA helical. The single-stranded primer and the single-stranded template are continually forming and breaking ionic bonds. The polymerase may attach to that small portion of double-stranded DNA (template and primer) and begin duplicating the template because the more stable bonds remain a little while longer (primers that fit perfectly). The ionic link between the template and the primer becomes so strong after a few bases have been added that it no longer breaks.
The polymerase performs best at this temperature. The ionic attraction between the template and the primers, which contain a few bases, is already stronger than the forces that break these attractions. Because of the high temperature, primers that are in areas where there is no exact match become loose once more and fail to extend the fragment. When the polymerase adds dNTPs from 5′ to 3′, reading the template from 3′ to 5′ sides, bases are added that are complementary to the template. These bases are attached to the primer on the 3′ sides.

The number of copies of the gene increases exponentially during PCR because both strands are copied. Suppose there is only one copy of the wanted gene before the cycle starts, after one cycle, there will be 2 copies, after two cycles, there will be 4 copies, the third cycle makes 8 copies, and so on. So the number of copies produced in PCR after x cycles will be given by 2x.

We baptized Sebastian this weekend! He turned one last month, and we had originally planned to throw his birthday party and baptize him on the same day, but our bathroom was still getting built and it felt so rushed so we postponed it. I thought we would just wait until next year when he turned two but of course we changed our minds last minute, literally last week, and had to come up with everything in less than 7 days! I'm seriously a procrastinator at heart, I get so stressed out and crazy, but I feel like I work best under pressure. Anyhow, the party, decor, and everything turned out just how I envisioned it! I went with a rustic theme to go with the baptism and his outfit. Y'all know I had to be extra and baptize him as Charro, he just looked so darn cute!
Such lovely photos from the baptism. Thanks a ton for this fabulous share. At one of the event halls for rent I also attended a grand bash in the last month and it was super amazing. The sumptuous delights from Mexico cuisines had been served that I just loved eating.

Women often received micronutrient supplements during antenatal and postnatal care (13, 35–42, 51, 60), and, as such, supplementation was often targeted to pregnant and lactating women. The delivery of micronutrient supplementation commonly occurred in health care settings for at-home consumption. Community-based antenatal care that involved home visits by community health workers was also a common delivery platform for supplementation delivery. There were some studies that reported micronutrient supplementation to adolescents, women of reproductive age, pregnant women, and women with young children outside of the antenatal care setting. These included primary health care clinics, home visits, community centers, pharmacies, and workplaces (32, 38–43, 45, 52, 53). Adolescent girls were also reached by community- and school-based programs (26, 41, 46). School-based programs were more efficacious in reducing rates of anemia among adolescent girls, compared with the community-based interventions (26, 46). However, many of the reported studies to date involved small samples of adolescents in controlled settings, and additional research is needed on the effectiveness of these programs (59, 62).
Omega-3 fatty acids — essential to health and happiness, reviewed by Dr. Mary James, MD. From conception to old age, every cell in our bodies needs omega-3's. Learn how omega-3 fatty acids benefit every body system — from the brain to the heart, breast, bones, colon, skin and more, this is one nutrient that can make all the difference to our health, our happiness, and — perhaps best of all — our longevity.
If you count calories, count fat calories, too. Food labels indicate how many calories come from fat, both in actual grams and in percentages. This helps you assess the percentage of fat in your diet. If the total number of fat calories is 30 percent or more of the total calories you consume in a day, you probably need to cut back. But don't be misled by terms like "lower fat." Ask yourself "lower than what?" and look at the overall percentage of fat calories in the food.
Vitamin D: Over the past decade, dozens of studies have revealed many important roles for vitamin D, the nutrient that skin cells produce when they are exposed to sunlight. The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D is 600 IU per day, although recommended levels are under review. If you avoid the sun or live in the northern half of the U.S., ask your doctor whether your vitamin D level should be tested.
In our review, we found that fortification interventions that provided fortified foods reached women of all life stages through home visits, community distribution centers, local markets, and retail stores. Delivery of fortified foods in school-based programs, at work, and in maternal–child health centers were also used to target school-age children, women of reproductive age, and pregnant and lactating women that were engaged with those facilities (37, 72–74, 84). There was mixed evidence that consumption of fortified foods reached all socioeconomic groups. Some studies showed differences in consumption between nonpoor and extremely poor, and between urban and rural stakeholders (33, 64, 85). Women who have restricted access to markets, depend largely on locally grown foods, are in areas with underdeveloped distribution channels, or have limited purchasing power, might have limited access to fortified foods (64). Additional research is needed to address implementation gaps and to determine the best platforms for reaching high-risk populations.
Third, of the interventions that were evaluated, many interventions targeted women who were pregnant, lactating, or with young children <5 y of age. We do not refute the important focus on mothers and their children as a group deserving of special attention, given women's increased nutrient needs during pregnancy and lactation and the intergenerational consequences during this period. However, even the interventions that focused on maternal nutrition often only reported on birth and nutrition outcomes of the child, and not those of the mother. In addition, although there were interventions that targeted adolescent girls and women of reproductive age, they were fewer and less well evaluated than interventions that targeted women as mothers. This aligns with findings from other research which illustrated a higher proportion of programs targeting pregnant and lactating women and women with young children (209). We also found major gaps in the targeting of interventions for older women. With growing rates of overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable diseases, in addition to undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, it is essential to think outside of the maternal-focused paradigm to reach women at all life stages.

Some believe this is unlucky because one of those thirteen, Judas Iscariot, was the betrayer of Jesus Christ. From the 1890s, a number of English language sources relate the "unlucky" thirteen to an idea that at the Last Supper, Judas, the disciple who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th to sit at the table.
Feng shui is a set of principles to help align one's living space with who they are and what they want. The practice has been around for thousands of years, but it's not stodgy or outdated.
Number 88 symbolizes fortune and good luck in Chinese culture, since the word 8 sounds similar to the word fā (發, which implies 發財, or wealth, in Mandarin or Cantonese). The number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture, and prices in Chinese supermarkets often contain many 8s.
The number 13 is synonymous with bad luck. It's considered unlucky to have 13 guests at a dinner party, many buildings don't have a 13th floor and most people avoid getting married or buying a house on a day marked by this dreaded number.
In Chinese numerology, 888 has a different meaning, triple fortune, a strengthening of the meaning of the digit 8. For this reason, addresses and phone numbers containing the digit sequence 888 are considered particularly lucky, and may command a premium because of it.
Your lucky numbers for the year 2020 based on your planetary positions are 5, 8, 16, 24, 37, 43, and 51. The best number you can depend on in the year 2020 considering your planetary positions are 5, 8, 10, 11, 23, 34, and 45.
Red is found everywhere during Chinese New Year and other holiday celebrations and family gatherings. A red envelope is a monetary gift which is given in Chinese society during holiday or special occasions. The red color of the packet symbolizes good luck.
13 is the age at which a Jewish male becomes obligated to follow Jewish law, the age at which a Bar Mitzvah is attained. Thirteen Attributes of Mercy. Jewish principles of faith according to Maimonides. Number of days of Yom Tov in a year (Diaspora) Months in a leap year on the Hebrew calendar.
It is believed that the best numbers to make sure good energy can enter your home without obstruction are 1, 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9. According to Feng Shui practitioners, 1 signifies a new beginning, freshness or birth and hence is always associated with an auspicious event.
SevenPerhaps part of the answer lies in a seminal paper published in 1956 by the psychologist George A Miller called "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two". Miller claims that it is more than just coincidence that the number 7 seems to be all around us.
3 (三), pronounced san, is considered lucky due to its similarity in sound to the word that means birth. Additionally, this number represents the three stages in the life of humans – birth, marriage, death – that adds to its importance in Chinese culture.
Today is a day of sevens: 07/07/07. Seven is considered lucky by many people. There are seven days of the week, seven continents and seven brides for seven brothers.
According to folklore as well as ancient Roman tradition, the title of unluckiest month to get married goes to May.
triskaidekaphobiaPeople who harbor a Friday the 13th superstition might have triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number 13, and often pass on their belief to their children, he noted.
But in other countries, different numbers are thought to be just as unlucky. In case 13 makes you nervous, here are five other numbers to avoid. 4: In China, the pronunciation of the word for the number four is similar to that of the Chinese word for death.
There are some cultures, however, that see the number 13 it as a symbol of life, fertility, and prosperity. Judaism celebrates a young man's coming of age when he turns thirteen. In Punjabi, the word 13 is pronounced tera, which also means "yours," which is a devotional pronouncement to God.
There is also a biblical reference to the unlucky number 13. Judas, the apostle said to have betrayed Jesus, was the 13th guest to the Last Supper. (See "Lost Gospel Revealed; Says Jesus Asked Judas to Betray Him.") As for Friday, it's well known among Christians as the day Jesus was crucified.
While 8, 4 and 13 are most often the "lucky" and "unlucky" numbers that impact real estate, experts note that in some other cultures, different numbers can also carry a special meaning.
According to Chinese superstition, doing any of these on January 25th – the day Chinese New Year falls in 2020 – will lead to bad luck for the entire coming year. But it isn't all doom and gloom: 2020 is the Year of the Rat, an animal that symbolises wealth and the beginning of a new day.
In ancient cultures, the number 13 represented femininity, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The theory is that, as the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar, the number thirteen became anathema.

I am just curious. We have someone (or two) that I simply can not believe that they know weather. How can you get hired if you just aren't that good?

Hello my Kit Kat friend! I think that every person here probably name a weather person that they wondered how they got the job. Did you see the thread on the LA lady? Well, I have a feeling that I know what helped her land that job!
There is someone here in Atlanta that I believe got the job because that person used to work for the news director when they were both in a significanly smaller market. Believe it or not, I usually don't watch the local weather people. I have had several people ask me this exact question about this person. TV weather is no different than any other business. People many times hire through networking.

It's really common to hire people you already know. They are a known commodity...they also may want to do a favor for a friend.
The name of the game is money. It's quite simple. There are many people who attract audiences and are not even meteorologists. As I had mentioned earlier, it doesn't matter why people watch, but that they do watch. Simple math, no calculus involved.

Al Roker is a perfect example. He is the nations "image" for a weatherman and he is just that.... a weatherman not a meteorologist. You would think he might take some night classes or something to finally become one but guess he doesn't need it. Has his own books and now TV show.
Look where Al Roker is....at the top of the field making big bucks and not even a meteorologist. How many other professions could you have a person imposing as a professional? It reminds me of the Holiday Inn Express commercials.... I'm not a doctor but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
How would you like to go to the dentist and find out that the "dentist" actually was a person that has a degree in botany an took a couple of courses on dentistry? Only in weather does this stuff happen.
I'm trying to think of other professions where someone who is not a professional passes themselves to the public as a professional. Teachers, police, fire fighters, chemists, accountants....all professionals in their fields...I just can't think of any business link tv weather people.
Unfortunately, people think that weather forecasters get paid for being wrong. I guess that is why people who are not meteorologists are not considered any different.


On March 9, 44 girls banded together to learn how to approach a box and a jump.

Wear your event t-shirts and helmet stickers with pride. Never give up and keep practicing! Girls can do anything!


Heartquake Studios is an independent video games development studio based in Switzerland. We are currently in production on World Never End, an Action Adventure RPG game.
The majority of role playing and real time strategy games are strong on core values, but are lacking on the immersion side of the game play. We intend to change that model and focus on the core elements that make these genres great to play.
Our solution will be to focus on the immersive experience with adaptive stories, environments, and characters. The stories and quests will have multiple solutions, allowing the player to make moral and strategic decisions about how they want to proceed. The computer controlled characters and the environment will react and adapt to these player choices.
We will develop World Never End for all of the current major games platforms to maximize our target audience. This will include PC, Linux, Mac, PlayStation and Xbox.
WNE will be a high quality AA title, aiming for a Metacritic in the 80s.

Antiochos VI. Dionysos (; * um 148 v. Chr.; † ca. 142 v. Chr.) war König des Seleukidenreichs. Er war der Sohn Alexanders I. Balas und Kleopatra Theas, der Tochter Ptolemaios' VI.

Tatsächlich trat Antiochos VI. die Regierung nicht an. Er wurde vermutlich bereits 144 v. Chr. vom in Opposition zu Demetrios II. Nikator stehenden General Diodotos Tryphon zum Thronerben bestimmt. Um ca. 142/1 v. Chr. starb er. Während einige antike Autoren beschreiben, dass er bei einer Operation ums Leben gekommen sei, bezichtigen andere Diodotos Tryphon als Mörder des jungen Königs.

Wisconsin defendants sue over state public defender problems
By: Justin Thompson-Gee Facebook | Twitter
Posted: Jan 17, 2019 4:35 PM CST
ASHLAND, Wis. (AP) — A group of defendants from northern Wisconsin is suing over funding and staffing problems in the state Public Defender's Office, arguing the rights of indigent defendants in Wisconsin to competent attorneys and speedy trials have been violated.
The five men and one woman from Ashland and Bayfield counties filed their lawsuit in federal court this week, the Ashland Daily Press reported . Those bringing the lawsuit contend that indigent criminal defendants in Wisconsin "are simply not being promptly appointed the effective legal counsel mandated by the United States and Wisconsin Constitutions."
The lawsuit also alleges those problems are hurting not only the defendants but the entire region, through increased jail costs, lost work time and a sluggish court system.
State officials say Wisconsin's low compensation rate for private attorneys has contributed to the shortage of lawyers willing to represent people who can't afford a private attorney.
"The six we're dealing with here are our neighbors, people from our communities," said H. Craig Haukaas, one of the attorneys who filed the suit. "I can tell you with certainty that the problem is much, much greater in other parts of the state and I expect attorneys in other parts of the state to have interest in our case."
Spokesman Randy Kraft told the newspaper in a statement that the state Public Defender's Office is aware of the lawsuit but is withholding comment until it finishes reviewing it.
The six defendants who brought the case were without an attorney for weeks.
"These are people who are charged," Haukaas said. "They have not been found guilty, and they are entitled to effective representation. They are people who were working, were charged and could not afford an attorney. Anyone could find themselves in that situation."
According to the lawsuit, it takes an average of 24 days for the state to find an attorney to take on a client in Ashland or Bayfield county.
The suit seeks court orders for a deadline for the state to outline a plan to reform the Public Defender's Office and a system to guarantee that lawyers who represent poor clients have manageable workloads.
