I was taking a bus ride to camp. I was going to a fancy camp where some people share stories about their dreams. Spensor, Andy, Sue, and Tracy are going to camp too. This electric bus is a double decker electric bus.It can hold 100 passengers. We're riding along the dirt road. We're leaving the big city. And we're heading towards the large garden. The large garden has lots of flowers, trees, berry bushes with some berries to eat; giant grass fields, fancy houses with green roofing, a large pond for large ducks, the lunch shed with wooden benches; recycling bins, outdoor stoves for cooking, an art building for art projects, and there's lots of rain barrels to reduce flooding. They're used for watering plants. They use electric gardening tools to keep the garden growing. Gas machinery is rare. There's no light in the garden at night. They use stars to see in the dark. Well, they only use light for cabins only, there's little light that is usually used at night.But most gardeners wanted to reduce light pollution. The city is far away from the garden.
Have you ever dreamed of unusual places with unusual creatures, and characters? Well, I recently have dreams like this. Sometimes it's based on where you're at, books what you read, movies what you've recently watched, including TV shows. When you are awake, your mind records like a recording device. At this case; you are riding a carousel at the fair.And you had a dream of riding a carousel; and these characters came to life. You started talking to them, and explored magical places that you never went before. Well, some people didn't understand these key features of their dreams. In some cases, your dream will rewind back to the times when you are a little kid. Or fast-forwarded to the future, for example; you are flying in space with a spaceship,–exploring other planets.
None of our dreams are the same. But there's lots of different formats what your dream can take. At this case, your dream can be animated, dynamic, etc.
Starting off with unusual creatures in your dreams; you can do anything with them such as riding, racing, etc. And talking about creatures in your dream. They can come in any form, or a larger version of an animal in the real world. And they are large enough to ride. Or Modified creatures,–taylored to your interest type. For example; you enjoyed riding horses during the horse race. Your dreams reflect the event of the real world. But it's different. You might be riding a different creature,–other than horses.
In some cases, you might have a dream of exploring in the old town that you've never explored before. It might be pre-populated with existing settlers. Instead of actual people, and actual animals in the real world. There's similar creatures that will be close to match them. These creatures can easily interact with you without effort. They can do special tricks, and tasks for you. At this case, I ridden a big fairy to fly over the giant gap,–where the bridge is missing parts that used to prevent the bridge from collapsing. I've discovered the old ship that was stuck for years.
You can navigate in any building normally all right? But some rooms are giant, or small. For example; you are exploring the palace outside the city. The furniture is giant, and lights are on. The windows are closed. You are reaching the garden for a tea party; the backdoor leads outside. The garden is there! As you reach the table, you can see the tea set with good food to eat; people who are hosting the party. The sky is blue with a bright yellow moon. Most houses far away are visible.
Some Dreams are good, and some are bad. Nightmares are the known form of bad dreams. You can easily convert nightmares to good dreams.
Scary movies can also be made from some people who had nightmares everyday. If you ever took courage instead of being scared in your dream, you can accomplish successful changes, and tricks to fix an issue.
During any season; your dreams change themes. These themes can be useful for your ideas for your books that you write. If you memorize your dream, and told a story about it; some of your audience will be engaged. If you can share your story around the world; they can learn about your ideas from your dream.
Some people make dreamcatchers to capture their good dreams,–if they had good dreams.
Characters in your dream vary from type to type. They're also creatures in your dream. Overtime these creatures can be memorized by you, and extracted from your dream by writing a book, making a movie, or blogging.
We can create something new from our characters in our dream. Some are ride-on characters,–useful to navigate with speed. If your dream can process this feature, most likely you ridden a carousel each year. We can create something that other people had never seen before. You can convert these characters in your dream into custom-sized toys, objects, etc.
It's possible to ride characters that you've created in your dream. For example; you are trying to navigate in the forest, and you had created a character that is a goose that walks next to you. There's no bridge to go over the stream, or lake. You climbed on a back of a goose,–making it easier to navigate in the forest. You've discovered some of the trees are low, but some are high. the ground is too soft. As you ride your character that you created in your dream, you can able to travel faster.
Not just these creatures that you ridden in your dream shown at the list above. Any creature that is a character that you created can be in any form.
Locations via any place around the world in your dream vary from place to place. It's based on real places that you explored Your dream is able to process these places that you memorized. Themes are always applied to format your dream,–making a world for it. Whenever it's dark, or light; it varies from any place. For example; you are camping at this old suburb with functional houses. They provided heat for night time. Some of you are asleep. Others aren't. Most dark places might be lit with lamps, or flashlights. While lit places get light from the sun, or internal light sources.
If you are sailing a ship, your dream might able to convert parts of the sea in your dream to hard surface. But your ship will be still be remain at float. The island that you're trying to reach to find treasure may take some time to reach.
If you are walking along sand, and you are finding treasure,–after you reached the island; usually you can find some things that are below ground. You had a treasure map with you. If you can reach the treasure, and bring it on your ship; you can sail home, and share it to your friends.
What did you dreamed of?
It's night time in this old town, the streets are quiet, and the moon lights up the sky,–along with some stars. I was drinking tea late night. My fairy, Annie is working with the electric boiler for heat this fall. The house what I'm recently owning is darkened, so I can save power. Outside, I can see some villagers getting ready to sleep. But they have concerns,–regarding pollution in this town.
The car engine is running, but nobody is driving it.
The lights are left on without any use for any purpose.
The streets has oil everywhere,–after some trucks has a broken fuel tank.
The coal-burning plant is running on full-blast.
Gas range at home is left on., and nobody is cooking on it. That can be a fire hazard.
These villagers are upset. They're not sure who is causing this issue to the environment. Annie and I needs to investigate it,–so we can resolve pollution for them.
Annie and I are flying over the village in question to investigate. We started tracing the mess to the house in question. Maybe the poor has trouble resolving some problems. However, proprietary products may be to blame! The villagers really need our help. However, we're tracing towards the source of the problem.
As we made it to this house, the poor family was broke,–due to high use of proprietary products that are defective by design. We told them to choose open-source instead,–just like other villagers. They felt bad for this mess. But they have trouble conserving energy. We asked other people to run the cleanup to fight pollution to save the planet.
As the cleanup starts,we start off clearing away the electronic waste. Other villagers scattered to other places to clear away all of the other wastes. Open-source products are shipped to this village to reduce carbon. The coal-burning plant slows down. But the good news is: It's being discontinued because, high use of open-source products is documented to help these poor villagers who are sleepy fight pollution.
Many of the cars and trucks that are running without any use are turned off, and parked in garages. Some of them are fixed,–to replace proprietary parts with open-source parts. These streets are cleaned up.
The recycling is managed, and collected. They're been shipped to facilities to be reused as new materials.
People start riding bikes during the day,–not motorcycles.
Many trucks has their broken fuel tanks fixed.
The lights are turned off. They can use more power than any other electrical device.
Since the sleepy village is taking revenge against oil-drillers who are trying to harm the planet.
Annie and I are checking the woods to make sure these trees aren't cut down. But garbage is hurting it. We cleared it out,–so we can remove harmful waste. If we don't remove it, our land will be contaminated!
This giant mound of waste came from factory-farms,–where farm animals are located. Annie has reported these bad guys to the villagers who don't support factory-farming.
At the other hand, the gardeners are fighting pollution by growing plants, and their own food. They are using compost to help their plants grow.
You can also fight pollution by turning off the lights, choosing a vegetarian diet, recycling, and using renewable energy,–you can also use open-source products to resolve other kinds of pollution.
Try reducing lights in your house or apartment by using night lights that use LED lights.
Try choosing a recycling facility to recycle material that can be reusable.
If you are going to nearby places, try riding a bike, or walking. New York has a subway that you can use.
Try choosing open-source for all goods what you chosen. If any of these stores don't have them, check with the customer service,–so they can help you find what you are looking for.
Try reducing volume on your audio device, or use the head set,–whenever you are on a computer, listening to music, etc.
Try boycotting use of proprietary software on your machine.
Use an electric range when cooking food.
To help prevent electronic waste, boycott DRM at all costs.

A Rare Misstep by the Oracle
We are big fans of Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha. We talk about him quite a bit, we even dedicated an entire issue of this Journal to analyzing his 2020 letter (PDF) to his investors.
When it seemed like people were taking shots at him (at varying degrees), because they seemed to be playing the game "Who will dethrone Warren Buffet?", we urged people to show more respect and keep age out of the conversation. Ben Graham, the "Father of Value Investing", was the undisputed king of investing in the middle of the 20th century, and his book, The Intelligent Investor, was the bible of investing. After all these years, it is still going strong. Buffett was Graham's mentee and arguably the successor to Graham's crown.
When it comes to crypto, and in particular Bitcoin, Buffett has not been shy. He said that Bitcoin is 'probably rat poison squared'. He said he will never own it and called it a delusion. Him, Charlie Munger and Bill Gates did a segment and it was a pleasure to watch.
Not everybody agreed with Buffett's strong views. Chamath Palihapitiya, who wants to build a Berkshire-like instrument, said Buffett is wrong about Bitcoin, implying that Buffett didn't understand the technology, even though Buffett's lens of evaluation, as also noted on the segment, was whether Bitcoin is an asset, not whether it is a technology. (Chamath's views that Bitcoin is uncorrelated with the broader market did not hold true at the start of the pandemic, but that's for another day.)
You may not agree with Buffett on everything, but we don't think there are many people who would not think Buffett is a principled man. He always seemed to speak his mind.
It's these kinds of people that create the biggest disappointments when they refuse to take a stand. With many, you know that they are not going to take a stand. They will just go on and on, dancing around the issue and will not give you a straight answer. Over time, you adjust your expectations; that becomes the norm.
We just would have never thought the Oracle of Omaha would do this, much less when he was asked about Bitcoin ...
On May 1, 2021, Buffett and Munger took the stage at the 2021 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. Here is what happened:
This is important, so we will also present Buffett's answer in words.
I knew there'd be a question on bitcoin. I thought to myself, 'Well, I've watched these politicians dodge questions all the time, you know, I find it kind of disgusting, but they do it.' But the truth is I'm gonna dodge that question because we probably got hundreds of thousands of people watching this that own bitcoin, and we probably have two people that are short. So we got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and, or making two people happy, and that's just a dumb equation.
This, right here, is the misstep. Buffett did not change his mind about Bitcoin. If he did, that would have been one thing. But no, he just refuses to speak his mind. And for what, exactly? Is he worried that he will make some Berkshire shareholders unhappy? What happened to this point of view?
All of that said, Charlie and I would be less than human if we did not feel a special kinship with our fifth bucket: the million-plus individual investors who simply trust us to represent their interests, whatever the future may bring. They have joined us with no intent to leave, adopting a mindset similar to that held by our original partners. Indeed, many investors from our partnership years, and/or their descendants, remain substantial owners of Berkshire.
Or this?
Berkshire's unusual and valued family of individual shareholders may add to your understanding of our reluctance to court Wall Street analysts and institutional investors. We already have the investors we want and don't think that they, on balance, would be upgraded by replacements. There are only so many seats – that is, shares outstanding – available for Berkshire ownership. And we very much like the people already occupying them.
And this?
The tens of millions of other investors and speculators in the United States and elsewhere have a wide variety of equity choices to fit their tastes. They will find CEOs and market gurus with enticing ideas. If they want price targets, managed earnings and "stories," they will not lack suitors. "Technicians" will confidently instruct them as to what some wiggles on a chart portend for a stock's next move. The calls for action will never stop.
Productive assets such as farms, real estate and, yes, business ownership produce wealth – lots of it. Most owners of such properties will be rewarded. All that's required is the passage of time, an inner calm, ample diversification and a minimization of transactions and fees. Still, investors must never forget that their expenses are Wall Street's income. And, unlike my monkey, Wall Streeters do not work for peanuts. When seats open up at Berkshire – and we hope they are few – we want them to be occupied by newcomers who understand and desire what we offer. After decades of management, Charlie and I remain unable to promise results. We can and do, however, pledge to treat you as partners.
Yes, this is exactly what Buffett was saying in his annual letter to investors just a couple of months ago. To us, it is extremely clear what he is saying. He is saying that we know what investing means, and we know that Bitcoin is not an asset. If people want to speculate, sure, but then, we are not for you.
That was an admirable stance. But with his dodge when asked about Bitcoin, he somewhat reversed it. If Buffett thinks he will lose some of his investors over his tough stance over Bitcoin, so be it. Those are probably not the right 'partners' he felt so proud to have onboard anyway.
In any event, Charlie Munger does not seem to be a "Dodger fan." We knew he is not one who pulls any punches. On May 1, 2021, he did not disappoint:
Of course, I hate the bitcoin success and I don't welcome a currency that's useful to kidnappers and extortionists, and so forth. Nor do I like just shuffling out of extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So, I think I should say modestly that I think the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization. And I'll leave the criticism to others.
"Contrary to the interest of civilization …" That was a very interesting way of describing Bitcoin. True, blockchain technology is certainly promising. It may even be true that Bitcoin was invented with good intentions and there is certainly a case to be made for digital currencies as they may very well be the future in finance. All that said, Bitcoin's primary use case today is being a speculative tool where one hopes that there is a greater fool who will pay a higher price. That may not have been Satoshi's intention, but the way it has evolved, we do agree it has created certain dangers to society.
Keep it on, Charlie. We need your voice.
Are we being too harsh on Buffett? If so, please tell us, but this is a pet peeve for us. The concept of "strength in numbers" works much better with the Warriors. It doesn't work well with bullies on the school ground. It doesn't work when a bunch of Republicans decided to remove Liz Cheney from party leadership, by voice vote, no less, for no reason other than her speaking the truth about the elections. It doesn't work when most of the world starts chasing a crypto dream for no reason other than speculative gains. It also doesn't work when people start seeing sports gambling as a savior, when in fact there is still hope, and there is a better way.
In all of these cases, we need strong voices that can stand up. We need brave soldiers who speak their minds. We need fearless people who tell the truth.
If we don't do these things, reason gets crowded out, logic goes out the window and the bully, the liar, the person who does not respect the facts becomes more emboldened. The size of the mob increases, alternative facts become stronger and the truth gets suppressed even more.
Make no mistake, this type of vicious circle is an existential threat for America. Don't be complicit, there is simply too much at stake.

The State of Illinois's budget crisis and funding cuts have had a direct impact on our students' education and well-being. Action for Children is one example of state-funded programs that have a profound impact on our students and their parents.
The Illinois Kids Campaign describes itself as a "grassroots coalition of over Illinois schools and organizations." It is a political advocacy group that strives to create policy change that will benefit schools and educators across the state.
We are making a special appeal to our friends and donors to not only be politically active but also to consider a special contribution to our schools to help us maintain urgently needed services such as after school child care for working parents.
On this page you will find a link to a poem written by one of our former eighth grade students, who was himself a beneficiary of the Action for Children program. I hope that you will find it as inspiring as I did.
Many thanks in advance for your prayers and financial support!

In a memorandum submitted to the DDP, she said that a person named Koti posted false information against her on social media on April 4 and attempted to tarnish her image.
Hyderabad: Lakshmi Parvathi, wife of former Chief Minister late NT Rama Rao, met the Director-General of Police M Mahendar Reddy at his office in Lakdi-ka-pul here on Monday requesting action against those spreading false information against her on the social media.
In a memorandum submitted to Reddy, she said that a person, Koti used to help her in operating the Android phone as she was not well-versed with it. Koti unauthorisedly used her phone and sent messages from her mobile phone to his phone and the same was circulated on social media.
Lakshmi Parvathi urged Reddy to take action against the channel, anchor and the social media sites that shared false information against her.
She said leaders of TDP were behind the entire conspiracy to tarnish her image. Following Reddy's advice, she met cybercrime sleuths of Central Crime Station (CCS) and lodged a complaint. The police booked a case against Koti under Section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) along with the provisions of Information Technology (IT) Act and took up investigation.

Collection of data by army in IHK concerns Gilani's forum
Jan 17th, 2013 | Category: Kashmir News
Srinagar, January 15 : In occupied Kashmir, the forum led by veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader Syed Ali Gilani expressing concern over the collection of information about the residents of Bandipora, Baramulla and Badgam districts by the Indian army said that there was virtually an army rule in the territory.
The forum in a statement issued in Srinagar said that the civil administration was expressing its ignorance about the collection of data by the army, which had made the matter mysterious.
The Indian Army is carrying out a kind of census in many parts of Kashmir, with troops moving from door-to-door to collect details about households. The information includes names of people in a particular household, their professions, age and other details, they said.
The forum said that the troops were intimidating people of serious consequences if they hided anything from them. It suspected that the campaign might be part of a new Indian game plan against the people of Kashmir, as the troops had been involved in massive human rights violations against the innocent people of Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the forum denounced the arrest of the Kashmiris including a youth Umar Farooq and Ghulam Muhammad Sufi at Barzula in Srinagar by Indian police. The fourm said that the arrests were being made to intimidate the youth and ordinary Kashmiris into submission.


Thinking about graduate study in history? Pacific Lutheran University history majors have an excellent track record when it comes to earning an M.A. or a Ph.D. (or both) in history.
I recently touched base with Carli Snyder, '17, about her first year in grad school. Carli completed two Kurt Mayer Holocaust Research Summer Fellowships at PLU and is continuing her research as she works toward her Ph.D. at the City University of New York Graduate Center [CUNY].
Her favorite study spots prove that! She enjoys Bryant Park (when it's sunny out), New York Public Library (lovely painted ceilings, an oasis in the heart of midtown Manhattan) The Poets' House (a hidden gem—a poetry library that feels like a peaceful living room with a view of the Hudson River), the Dear Mama Coffee House in East Harlem (THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES), and Brooklyn College Library (spacious reading rooms).
And sometimes she leaves the studying behind and just plays tourist. She's made multiple trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art (free admission for CUNY students!), visited the Statue of Liberty with her parents, and savored a slice of Joe's Pizza in Washington Square Park.
There were many academic highlights in Carli's first grad school year, but a special favorite was being introduced to Beth Griech-Polelle's doctoral advisor (Omer Bartov) by her own doctoral advisor (Dagmar Herzog). Carli also managed to return all thirty library books after completing her first semester exam (which she passed).
And how thrilling it was to find a single letter in the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum archive that changed the entire course of her research. Written in 1993 by Holocaust survivor Charlene Schiff to the museum's director, the letter complimented Joan Ringelheim on her skillful way of recording Schiff's story in video form.
That letter inspired Carli to watch Schiff's entire testimony, and she devoted half of my first year research paper to a discussion the interviewer/interviewee relationship between Ringelheim and Schiff. Magical moments occur in the archives!
Are you thinking about graduate study after you finish your B.A. in History at PLU? Check out Carli's excellent tips!
Attend the grad school info night at PLU, hosted by Phi Alpha Theta! There you'll learn all the steps necessary to apply.
Reach out to professors in the programs that interest you to find an advisor you will work well with.
For Carli, it was crucial to make her apartment a calming space where she could decompress from school, so she tried to study my mostly in a library or a cafe.
Find a non-academic outlet! Carli (a swimmer at PLU) chose group exercise classes.
Ask questions: talk to the students ahead of you in the program, learn from PLU alumni who've gone through grad school, reach out to your advisor, and know that your other professors are all happy to help and offer insight whenever you need it.

Keep Austin wired: How the city powers its bandwidth blowout
By Tony Ware
The annual South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, has become the see-and-be-seen meeting place for early adopters, trend spotters, thought leaders and entrepreneurs – in music, film, education, government and technology. Supporting the accompanying tidal wave of technology have been the city, the Austin Convention Center (ACC) and SXSW LLC, the festival organizer that manages network traffic for performers and attendees across more than 100 venues.
From year to year, technology challenges in managing the meet-up have come from unexpected places. In 2008, for example, there was so much Twitter traffic from attendees at the convention center that the festival's organizers "had to coordinate with the operations people there to say, 'No, all this traffic coming from the ACC is not a denial of service attack; it is real traffic,' " said Scott Wilcox, director of technology for SXSW LLC.
The 72,000 registrants and artists attending in 2014, which took place March 7–16, streamed into Austin each carrying between two and three IP-enabled devices and expecting a wireless infrastructure to support not just the festival presentations, but also the attendees' apps, Internet access and sharing of files, images and video of the festival. As a showcase for the city's innovation-based economy, the festival and its public and private technology partners had to deliver a vision of the future that was not hampered by bandwidth limits of the past.
That goal was bolstered when Austin was named earlier this year as a recipient of an upcoming Google Fiber build-out, a "fiber-to-the premise" service that will be rolled out to an additional 34 cities. But, connectivity has long been part of the foundation of many Austin partnerships and high-traffic environments. The city government has been recognized repeatedly for its push toward an open-data, community-engagement, cross-agency IT framework.
ACC, nestled downtown in the city's original municipal grid, plays host to numerous annual events, but the relationship with SXSW in particular serves as an example of how a city facility and private-sector forum have stepped up their game in terms of fortifying bandwidth available for data-rich activities.
Wired from the ground up
The ACC was designed for big crowds from the start, having been pre-wired during construction in the late 1980s with jacks every 30 feet. As it stands today, the center is a Gigabit-rated building -- moving toward being 10 Gigabit. The miles and miles of single-mode fiber, multi-mode fiber and Category 6 cable connecting the core, edges and clients provide bandwidth services through fiber from the University of Texas and carrier-grade provider Alpheus Communications.
In 2006 Austin was chosen as the host city for the World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT). In concert with that event, the city began positioning itself as a technology hub and test bed, diversifying beyond its roots in microprocessor production. In doing so, city officials saw the value to economic development in free wireless access.
This strategy has often been a business stimulus, so the 11-person ACC IT team has continually updated the nodes on its backbone. The move was especially important following the 2007 release of the iPhone, the advent of the smartphone age and the start of the rapid crowding of the 2.4 GHz spectrum. While registration/workstations may still be hardwired, most people will be putting pressure on mobile devices, now slowly transitioning to the more interference-resistant 5 GHz and 802.11a/c standards.
More than 50,000 unique devices were logged in the ACC throughout the SXSW 2013 proceedings, according to SXSW's Wilcox, so preparing for 2014 meant rolling out a network architecture that was congestion-free and with enough headroom capable of simultaneous peak usage in the thousands.
"We have 185 static Wi-Fi points throughout the Austin Convention Center and the Palmer Events Center [an associated venue located directly across the river], with another 190 on hand to deploy as needed," said Greg Davis, LAN/WAN integrator at the ACC. "We have strong infrastructure in place so no one has to worry much about deploying their own services within the facility."
Cliff Skolnick is director and network architect at RightRound LLC, SXSW's IT project management partner, and he remembers that just prior to WCIT he helped provide vendors and exhibitors wireless access by bringing in as many routers as would fit in two suitcases. While it was WCIT that prompted development of ACC's in-house wireless infrastructure, it was SXSW that quickly showed the trajectory of access expectations and drove the upgrade timeline.
"Wireless data is one of those profound, big changes you can't figure out how you functioned without, something that has really changed your life as a person," Skolnick reflected. "The more we can get Wi-Fi in public spaces the more unique things we'll see created to take advantage of it. We're moving from worrying about whether we have enough bandwidth to worrying that people can be connected no matter where they are."
Skolnick consults with the ACC team to analyze bandwidth requirements and audit quality control and to determine where the highest traffic might congregate. Outside of the ACC, RightRound, Alpheus and Alpha Omega Wireless and other networking providers arrange the equipment for the throughput SXSW needs in nontraditional venues for administration, for attendees and for sponsors and performers who stream live events.
Using an array of point-to-point microwave connections on rented rooftop real estate, the partners form a ring that allows all SXSW sites seamless access within no more than two hops using various radio technologies. That can support both a 140-character tweet and a 140-character tweet with a link to a 1MB image in it, plus all those app demonstrations and simultaneous video clip uploading.
In 2014 the non-ACC SXSW data circuit increased from 1GB to 2GB, and it is sure to rise yearly as videoconferencing to thousands watching on multiple screens becomes more common. This year, both WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and NSA leaker Edward Snowden spoke via Skype and had their live feed Q&As streamed out (though technical issues did reportedly affect moderating).
As for the well-outfitted Austin Convention Center, it will continue to highlight reliability and up-to-date technologies, driven by a SXSW vision that wireless networking should be "… like electricity and just be there and work with no extra costs or strings, as it's an essential utility for our attendees," Wilcox said. "Our general approach has always been: let's work together to be successful."

Reinado
Cá governou Abidos no final do século XXXII e início do XXXI a.C. Ele provavelmente foi o sucessor direto de Iri-Hor, e foi sucedido por Narmer. Ele é o mais antigo rei egípcio conhecido com sereques inscritos em uma série de artefatos.

O seu túmulo (B7/B9) estaria situado em Abidos no cemitério real de Umel Caabe. Este túmulo foi alvo de intervenções arqueológicas por parte do Instituto Arqueológico Alemão em meados da década de 1980, nas pessoas do doutor Werner Kaiser e do doutor Gunter Dreyer.

Criteria for Tenure, Undergraduate Assessment, and Community Engagement: Additional Findings from the 2012–13 Humanities Departmental Survey
The degree-granting departments and programs studied in the Humanities Departmental Survey (HDS-2) were all at four-year colleges and universities.
Key findings:
Almost all humanities departments reported that their full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty members had access to research support (through the institution or department), and two-thirds reported access to support for their full-time non-tenured or non-tenure-track faculty members.
Among the criteria examined as part of HDS-2, teaching was of greatest importance for tenure, with 78% of departments citing it as "essential" and another 18% describing it as "very important" (Figure 1
). Publications were cited as "essential" by 54% of departments and as "very important" by another 18%.
In 28% of departments, service to the department or institution was an "essential" criterion for tenure. One percent of departments said the same of the public humanities (defined as making the humanities and/or humanities scholarship accessible to the general public).
The balance between teaching and research as criteria for tenure varied substantially by the type of institution and discipline. Among departments located in institutions classified as primarily undergraduate in the Carnegie Foundation classifications, 55% cited publications as essential or very important for tenure, compared to 98% of the departments at institutions classified as primarily research. In contrast, teaching was characterized as essential or very important by 98% of the humanities departments at undergraduate and comprehensive colleges and universities (Figure 2
Among the eight disciplines in which the factors most important in tenure decisions did not differ greatly by Carnegie institution type, three reported that less than 70% of their departments considered publications essential or very important for tenure: English (63%), religion (65%), and philosophy (67%) (Figure 3
). In three disciplines, over 10% of the departments indicated that public humanities was essential or very important to tenure: art history (15%), religion (13%), and communication (11%).
Humanities departments at primarily research universities were the least likely to conduct a learning outcomes assessment for all or some of the undergraduate students in their programs (Figure 4
; a learning outcomes assessment involves examining the results from a given cohort of students in an attempt to examine the effectiveness of a department's program). Twenty-eight percent of the departments at such institutions did not conduct these assessments, compared with less than 15% of the departments at primarily undergraduate and comprehensive institutions.
Overall, 85% of the departments indicated that they administered a learning outcomes assessment to some proportion of their undergraduate majors, with 80% assessing all of their majors (Figure 5
). In history of science, linguistics, folklore, and musicology, smaller disciplines whose departments were principally located in research universities, 40% or more of the departments conducted no department-wide outcomes assessment.
In just under half of humanities departments faculty members, staff, or students participated in community service endeavors involving primary and/or secondary schools (Figure 6
). A similar share of departments reported service to state humanities councils and/or community organizations. Language and literature programs were the most likely to be engaged with elementary and secondary schools, with almost 70% of the English departments and 62% of the departments in languages and literatures other than English reporting such activity.
Departments in folklore were the most likely to be engaged with state humanities councils and/or community organizations, with 77% of the departments reporting that their faculty, staff, or students worked with such groups. Over 60% of the departments in art history, history, and history of science also reported engagement with these types of organizations.

Q: Is this correct sentence "Where have you been yesterday"? I have got a question about Which of the following is correct sentence?

Where have you been yesterday?
  Where did you be yesterday?

If you can please let me know if there are something wrong, which one is wrong and how to fix them?

A: The correct phrasing is, "Where were you yesterday?"
"Have been" is continuous, so it doesn't make sense to use it with "yesterday", which is one specific time. You can say, "Where have you been the last few days?", but NOT "Where have you been yesterday?".
"Did be" is simply not used by native speakers. I don't know that it violates any general rule, but no one says that.

A: *

*Where have you been yesterday? (the word 'yesterday' relates to the past so it can not be used 'alone' in the present tense. By 'alone' i mean it can be used with the help of a preposition like 'since') So your question can be rephrased as

*Where have you been since yesterday ?
And your second question simply should be -

*Where were you yesterday ?

Dozens of residents were in attendance at the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre on Dec. 10 for a public hearing on Delta's plan to do away with form and character reviews for all new builds and major renovation projects in North Delta. (Melissa Shaw photo)
Delta council scraps design reviews for new North Delta homes
Eliminating the review reduces permit processing times and fees
By Melissa Shaw for the North Delta Reporter
Delta city council has voted to remove an extra step in the development process for new homes, duplexes and major additions to existing homes in North Delta.
Following a public hearing and vote by council Monday night (Dec. 10), homeowners building or renovating their property in North Delta will no longer have to go through a form and character review to obtain a development permit in addition to a building permit.
The city introduced the design guidelines in 2004 to consider aspects such as roof lines, second-storey setbacks, massing, minimizing the loss of privacy to neighbouring yards, landscaping and tree retention.
Scrapping the form and character review will save homeowners time and money. Residents in Ladner and Tsawwassen could receive a building permit in 10 to 30 days but residents in North Delta would have to wait up to 120 days to receive a development and building permit under the previous rules.
North Deltans would also have to pay an extra $810 to apply for a development permit, would need to modify their design based on city staff comments and pay $310 for each amendment.
Many residents spoke in favour of removing the form and character review at the public hearing, to resounding applause from those in attendance.
During the hearing at North Delta's Kennedy Seniors' Recreation Centre, Coun. Alicia Guichon said she was quite disturbed to hear about the timeline difference.
"Twenty-four weeks compared to two to six weeks … I would see as unacceptable to builders and people in the business. If you're holding onto land it's just money wasted," she said.
"We should be letting the members of our community decide what their homes should look like," Coun. Dylan Kruger said. He also spoke about the the concerns voiced by North Delta residents feeling like "second class citizens."
"We're one citizenry and the guidelines should be be consistent for everybody across Delta," he said.
Coun. Lois Jackson said "we've worked hard to get North Delta the way it looks today and we've done it through bylaws like this. I don't quite agree with people who say we are second class citizens in North Delta. We aren't, as far as I'm concerned."
Council passed the bylaw to eliminate the review 5-1, with Jackson voting against.

According to Keep Me Posted, a rapid decline in the number of suppliers automatically providing paper bills is negatively affecting people's ability to manage their finances.
An estimated 7.1 million adults in the UK have never been online and only a third of elderly people are believed to have ever used the internet, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Only three companies have signed up to Keep Me Posted - Principality Building Society, Wessex Water and Welsh Water.
Chairman of the Keep Me Posted campaign, Judith Donovan, said: "We're disappointed at the lack of progress. Our research makes it very clear that people are having the choice of a paper bill taken away from them.
Energy providers typically provide discounts to customers who receive digital copies of their bills, although they are obliged to send an annual statement by post.
Research carried out by uSwitch earlier this year found that one fifth of homes were incorrectly billed by their energy suppliers in the past two years.
This discrepancy between estimated and correct bills means 39% (or 10 million) households owe their energy suppliers money. The average amount homes owe their suppliers is £146.
Director of Consumer Policy at uSwitch, Ann Robinson, said the move to smart meters would eventually put an end to estimated bills. She added that for the moment consumers should provide their supplier with meter readings every three months.

Artists come up with quilt design for Diversity and Inclusion mural
David Hannon October 1, 2021
Canada has been sewn by many hands from many cultures.
It's a theme that may soon be reflected in the southwest corner of Yonge and Wellington if a proposal from the Moonlight Murals Collective is accepted by Council.
Moonlight's proposal is the winning proposal of an open call for artists to create the city's new diversity and inclusion mural.
Their vision was one of five qualified proposals submitted to the City and evaluated by a selection committee made up of members of the Municipal Task Force Against Racism and Racism, a representative of the Aurora Cultural Center and Phil Rose, Director of Redevelopment of the town square.
"For this project, we want to represent the idea of Canadians from all walks of life coming together to build and produce beauty together by sewing a quilt," say the artists, an artist collective of Iranian descent Ghazaleh Rastgar , Melika Saeea and Yasaman Mehrsa, who describe themselves as immigrants who moved to Canada at an older age.
"We illustrate a number of different colored hands putting together a beautiful quilt made from a variety of textiles with different designs and patterns. The different colored hands suggest different races and the textiles are traditional prints from a variety of cultures and origins.
"If we are chosen for this project, we will add more detail and more patches to the quilt, ensuring that the message gets across strongly. "
If their vision comes true with Council approval, it will take the form of a digital print that will be placed on the north wall of 15242 Yonge Street, which would be on the right side of Yonge Street for southbound drivers to through the busiest intersection in town. .
"This particular location has a lot of windows that can be visual interruptions for most designs, but as far as ours is concerned, it will work just fine," the artists state. "Our design can be easily manipulated and adjusted depending on the canvas it will be applied to. The message of the patchwork quilt will be easily understood even with the windows interrupting the design. We will also be able to adjust the placement of the sewing hands to make sure they don't fall out where the windows are. We would like this place because it is the most visible to the community.
"As the city aims to showcase the significant accomplishments of various people from Canada's past and present, we find this theme very appropriate without isolating one person. [or] group. Our message includes everyone and is a strong message of unity. We are all Canadians as well as being from all over the world and we are always striving to improve ourselves, our communities and our hometown.
"The message this represents means a lot to us as immigrant artists. Throughout our time in Canada, especially in the GTA, we have not only been able to build better lives for ourselves, but we have also been able to collaborate and work with people from diverse backgrounds to make the city more beautiful. We find that we are constantly inspired by people from different cultures and love the fact that we can also inspire others by what we bring to communities through art. We have also noticed that Aurora includes a large community of Iranians and as Iranian artists it would be great for us to contribute to this community in Aurora.

Onychomycosis is a very cumbersome and difficult to treat feat disease. Especially when it is neglected. If you noticed any changes on your feet, be sure to check if it itches. Symptoms include: nail plate begins to stratify, it becomes hard and brittle, and its color changes to white or yellow. If you noticed those your feet were probably attacked by the disease. There are many measures that can help you get rid of the problem, but not all are effective. Is Skinetrin effective? Check out the effects of application and user reviews.
Skinetrin is 100% natural, so using it should be absolutely safe.
These three components should give our skin a healthy look and free us from the distressing symptoms of ringworm.
According to the manufacturer, such effects can be expected 5 days since first pill taken.
Ashamed of your feet? No more!! Click and check the solution!!!
Opinions on skinetrin they are varied. There are people who tablets eased the symptoms of ringworm, and later treatment to cure the disease, but there are those people who say that the tablet almost did not help them. It's hard to judge which product is so varied opinions. Probably skinetrin he has a chance to help, but its effect can be quite individual. Not every body reacts the same way, not every athlete's foot is the same. Much depends also on the stage of the disease. Tablets fared much worse if it was already quite well developed thrush. We hope that through this article you will be to make the right decisions.

Brother brand walking or even feed foot for matching stripes and plaids, quilting or sewing difficult fabrics. Fits many different brands and models.
This Walking Foot (sometimes called an Even Feed Foot) is not as complicated as it looks!
It has a set of feed dogs which means that the top layer of fabric will feed through your machine at the same speed as the lower layer of fabric. This prevents that awkward situation where you end up with extra fabric on the top layer at the end of your seam!
Fits most low shank machines (if your machine has a snap-on foot, simply remove the foot and then unscrew the foot holder. Slide the walking foot onto the shaft, ensure that the foot's arm sits above the machine's needle screw and replace the screw to hold it in place).
For best results when quilting increase your stitch length to 3 or 4. If the foot is slipping try increasing the presser foot pressure on your machine.
