US stocks rise as Greece nears deal
February 8, 2012 — 6.28am
US stocks advanced, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its highest level since May 2008, as Greece made progress on measures to secure international aid.
Seven out of 10 groups in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained, helping the measure rebound from an earlier decline. McDonald's Corp., the world's biggest restaurant chain, added 1.4 per cent ahead of its sales report. Yum! Brands Inc., owner of the KFC and Taco Bell fast-food chains, climbed 2.6 per cent as earnings surged 30 per cent. Anadarko Petroleum Corp., the biggest US independent oil and natural-gas producer by market value, increased 5.2 per cent as profit beat estimates.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2 per cent to 1,347.05 at 4 p.m. New York time, wiping out an earlier decline of as much as 0.6 per cent. The Dow advanced 33.07 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 12,878.20.
''We need to see some real austerity from Greece,'' Hank Smith, chief investment officer at Haverford Trust Co. in Radnor, Pennsylvania, said in a telephone interview. His firm manages about $US6.5 billion. ''When we see that, we will have more confidence that Europe is serious about growth. I have confidence that we'll get some sort of resolution that allows for additional funding.''
Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos postponed a meeting with heads of the political parties supporting his caretaker government a second time in as many days as the government and international creditors haggled over terms to secure a second aid package. Papademos will meet with the leaders in Athens tomorrow, instead of tonight as previously scheduled, a spokeswoman for his office said. In the US, consumer borrowing rose more than forecast in December.
Today's gain put the S&P 500 about 1.2 per cent away from its peak nine months ago, which would send it to the highest level since June 2008. The index rose 7.1 per cent this year amid better-than-expected economic data and corporate profits. Earnings beat projections at 68 per cent of the 280 companies in the S&P 500 that reported quarterly results since Jan. 9, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The S&P 500 Consumer Services Index had the biggest advance among 24 industries, rising 0.9 per cent.
McDonald's added 1.4 per cent, the most in the Dow, to $US100.91. It may say tomorrow that sales at global stores open at least 13 months gained 5.8 per cent in January, according to the average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Yum gained 2.6 per cent to $US64.85. The company, with about 18,800 restaurants outside the US, said fourth-quarter sales at stores open at least 12 months grew 21 per cent in China. Yum said it opened a record 656 stores last year in the Asian nation, where it gets more than 40 per cent of its revenue.
Coca-Cola Co. advanced 0.8 per cent to $US68.55. The largest soft-drink maker reported fourth-quarter profit that topped analysts' estimates as teas and juices boosted sales in Asia.
Anadarko climbed 5.2 per cent to $US87.21. Output rose 12 per cent to the equivalent of 683,000 barrels of oil a day during the last three months of 2011, The Woodlands, Texas-based company said. Sales volumes climbed to 63 million barrels at an average price of $US104.82 a barrel of oil and condensate, more than the $US98 estimate from Raymond James & Associates Inc.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. rose 0.7 per cent to $US75.51. The iron-ore producer yesterday sold for 6.4 times its cash from operations, after deducting capital expenses, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That was less than every other metals or mining company in the US or Canada exceeding $US5 billion in market value, and a 70 per cent discount to the median.
Takeover Target
With Glencore International Plc and Xstrata Plc agreeing to merge to create a $US90 billion global mining company, Cliffs may attract interest from BHP Billiton Ltd. or Rio Tinto Group, Lutetia Capital said. An acquirer could pay a 30 per cent premium and still get Cliffs for less than any comparable publicly traded mining company versus its free cash flow, the data show.
"There could be more vertical integration'' after Glencore and Xstrata, Mark Keller, chief executive officer of Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis, which manages $US1 billion including shares of Cliffs, said in a telephone interview. As a result, ''the first-rate mid-sized companies like Cliffs I think potentially become takeover targets,'' he said.
Becton Dickinson & Co. slipped 3.8 per cent to $US77.51. The maker of medical devices and supplies cut its forecast for 2012 to no more than $US5.70 a share, below an earlier projection of as much as $US5.85 and the average analyst estimate of $US5.80.
Walgreen Co., the largest US drugstore chain, slumped 2.4 per cent to $US33.46. Citigroup cut its recommendation for the shares to ''sell'' from ''neutral.''
A potential retreat in US stocks will set the stage for the S&P 500 to approach 1,370, the level where the current bull market ran out of steam last year, according to analysts who study charts to predict market moves.
The S&P 500 had gained for five weeks through Feb. 3, the longest streak in a year, sending its 14-day relative strength index, which measures the degree that gains and losses outpace each other, to the highest level since February 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
''We need to pause, rest, consolidate in order to stay healthy,'' Carter Worth, New York-based chief market technician at Oppenheimer & Co., wrote in a note yesterday. ''Any such consolidation would cure the market from a tad unhealthy right back to very healthy, and would be the perfect 'setup' for a breakout-type move to new 52-week highs."

Draconian Measures - What Does It Mean?
What does the term "draconian measures" mean? What is meant by the term "draconian measures"?
In order to understand what the term "draconian measures" means, let's first break down the word "draconian".
The word "draconian" comes from "Draco". Draco was the first legislator of Athens in Ancient Greece, and was responsible for implementing a written legal code (prior to Draco, the system was one of oral law and blood feud).
Draco's laws were known as being especially harsh - the death penalty was chosen as the punishment for even minor offenses.
So, the word "draconian" has come to mean something that is unusually harsh. So, if "draconian measures" are implemented (say, in a country's budget), then very harsh measures are thought to have been implemented. That's the definition of "draconian measures".
The country of XYZ has been posting deficits for the past decade. In order to balance their budget, the country is implementing harsh spending cuts, including cuts to health care and education. Critics of the cutbacks assail the budget as having "draconian measures", which means that they believe that the cuts are extremely harsh.

Albion Square development given green light by council cabinet
Senior councillors have given the go-ahead for the £96m development
An artist's impression of the new Albion Square development in Hull city centre (Image: Hull City Council)
Senior councillors have given the funding go-ahead for the £96m Albion Square development in Hull city centre.
Today's decision by the city council's cabinet will pave the way for the demolition of the former BHS and Co-op department stores at the site.
A new mixed-use scheme including retail and office space and new housing will be built there with the iconic Three Ships mural being retained along with two smaller 1960s murals currently inside the derelict old Co-op.

The plans also envisage a new urban park and a multi-storey car park.
Council leader Cllr Daren Hale said: "This is going to be a game-changer for the city centre."
After buying the empty buildings some years ago, he said the council had always been committed to re-developing the site.
"There is no do nothing option here," he added.
"There is no point in keeping a decaying asbestos-riddled empty building in the city centre.
"This local authority does things like this to give the private sector confidence to invest, just look at the Fruit Market, the K2 building and, more recently, Hammonds of Hull."
The cabinet also confirmed support for a feasibility study to examine the idea of building a new ice rink at the Myron Retail Park in the city centre.
The initial plans for Albion Square had included an ice rink but the option was recently shelved for financial reasons.
The council aims to sell the retail, office and housing space within the scheme to partly recoup construction costs and then rely on revenue from business rates and council tax income generated at the site to balance its books in the long-term.

My work explores the intersection of science and American popular culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. I'm interested in the process by which science became first a topic of polite conversation, then a launching pad for political and literary fantasies, and finally, in the rueful words of a liberal Baptist minister in 1932, "the arbiter of this generation's thought."
My first book, The First Atomic Age: Scientists, Radiations and the American Public, 1845-1945, is an examination the first half-century of Americans' experiences of radiation and radioactivity. I argue that the intense interest they generated among nonscientists influenced the prestige of science and medicine, and provided the real foundation for post-Hiroshima nuclear culture. My second book project, on which I am currently conducting research, deals with the relationship between scientific authority and adult sexual education in late nineteenth and early twentieth century America.
My colleague Alix Hui and I are the incoming editors for the Editorship of the History of Science Society. Starting in July 2019, we will be responsible for the Society's publications, including Isis and Osiris and an expanded roster of digital publications.

Autopsies reveal grisly details in 2017 fatal attack on Pasquotank prison employees
Posted 1:52 pm, May 18, 2018, by Becca Mitchell
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. – Autopsy reports have been released for the four victims who died after being attacked by inmates during an attempted escape at Pasquotank Correctional Institution last October.
Click here for our full coverage of this incident.
Click here to read the report.
On October 12, two Pasquotank Correctional Institution employees were killed, three were critically injured and several more were injured during the attempted escape. Correctional Officer Justin Smith and Correction Enterprises Manager Veronica Darden died the day of the attack. Correctional Officer Wendy Shannon, 49, and Geoffrey Howe, 31, died later from their injuries.
According to autopsy reports, all four victims suffered multiple traumatic injuries.
Smith and Darden's causes of death are both listed as due to multiple blunt and sharp force injuries. The report details Darden's multiple stab wounds from a half of a pair of scissors, in addition to blunt force injuries believed to be from an attack with a claw hammer and ball-peen hammer. Smith was stabbed in the chest and head more than 50 times.
Shannon and Howe's causes of death are both listed as due to complications from blunt force head injuries.
Shannon, who died at the hospital on October 30, suffered multiple traumatic injuries to her head and face from being hit with a hammer. After being taken to the hospital after the incident, her condition continued to deteriorate.
Howe, who died at the hospital on November 2, suffered multiple skull and facial fractures during the attack. He had a seizure and his right eye had to be removed as a result of the injuries. His status never improved and his condition declined in the hospital.
Mikel Brady, 28, Wisezah Buckman, 29, Seth J. Frazier, 33, and Jonathan M. Monk, 30, each face four counts of first degree murder, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of felony riot, one count of burning a building, one count of attempted escape from prison and one misdemeanor account of assault with a deadly weapon. Prosecutors told a judge they intend to seek the death penalty for the inmates.

Business minister backs sites staying open
30 Mar 20 Construction bosses under fire for keeping their sites open have today been given support by the government.
Business minister Nadhim Zahawi
Nadhim Zahawi, under-secretary of state for business, has reaffirmed that house-building and other construction work must keep going to help the economy survive the devastation of the coronavirus pandemic.
While Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon and London mayor Sadiq Khan have acted to close down construction sites, the position of the UK government remains firmly that all work that cannot be done from home should continue, on the condition that all workers remain two metres apart and observe all other Public Health coronavirus guidelines.
Nadhim Zahawi writes in The Daily Telegraph today: "The last few weeks have been tough, as infections and deaths due to Covid-19 rise, and as well adjust to the new social rules we must live by. Horrendously, we know the coming weeks will be harder still, before the measures brought in start to take effect and as we travel towards the peak of the virus
"That framework of rules was enacted with a heavy heart; no British prime minister wants to restrict the daily lives of citizens, close businesses or ban gatherings. Every one of us is being forced the learn to live differently, but there is no other option.
"However, we have seen sone, intentionally or otherwise, wrongly interpreting the current rules and unfairly criticising businesses that are implementing the rules correctly."
He continues: "It has therefore been disappointing that those who feel the need to criticise any and all private sector work have started attacking companies for staying open when their work cannot be done remotely. It does not matter whether they appear on that key worker list, what matters is that they follow the rules out government has set out.
"These businesses need to be defended because we need to minimise the damage to our economy where possible, and be ready to spring back into action as soon as this lockdown is over. There will always be some work that cannot be done from home, whether it is construction or packing boxes in an Amazon warehouse – but we still need houses built and for deliveries to be made. If the scientific view changes, and all of this work becomes too high risk, the government will update its advice. But until then businesses should not be criticised for following the rules."
He concludes: "These are difficult times for business. We cannot allow those who hate the private sector to use this crisis as an excuse to pile unfair criticism on them. We should stand up for those that are correctly following the rules. They are the same companies we will need to help fund our recovery when we finally get through this."

One of the things that I love about Austin is what a tight knit community it is. Generally speaking people look out for each other, and genuinely want to see other succeed. This couldn't be truer when it comes to small business owners. In fact that is exactly how Sunroom came into existence. Lucy Jolis and her fiancé had moved back to Austin after a stint in NYC. Lucy was running a successful Etsy shop full of vintage wear, but it had been her dream for years to have a brick and mortar store. That's when she got the message from a friend and client that runs Headdress. There was a small space opening up next door, and she thought it would be perfect for Lucy.
The Austin Modern Home Tour may only be 6 years old, but it is quickly becoming the de facto premier modern home tour in Austin. This year's line up includes a diverse line up from remodels to new construction, and even a little mid century modern for good measure. Trying to get to all 13 homes in one day may be a bit ambitious, so taking a cue from my friends over at Citygram Magazine, I've gone through to pick the ones I'll be going to on Friday (you can see their picks here).
Let me be the first to say that I was surprised at how much better this house was in real life compared to the pictures. Which is saying a lot, because it looks pretty great online. This little treasure likes to defy description however. While technically a condo (it's on a shared lot) it is a free standing home complete with private yard. The interior is nicely fitted out with a fantastic Ikea kitchen and bathrooms.

Mister Rogers took us by the hand and together we learned about ourselves, others and the world around us. His messages are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago.
Childhood lies at the very heart of who we are and who we become.
Daniel wonders if he is a mistake (1987)
He helped us feel good about who we are.
Mister Rogers made us feel valued and loved. "There is only one person in the whole world like you, and people can like you just because you're you." With that kind of encouragement, we could manage our fears and feelings, and be willing to try new things even if we might fail. His support helped us to become competent, compassionate and caring adults.
Lots of ways of feeling are fine (1992)
He helped us with our feelings.
Mister Rogers helped children understand that feelings – all kinds of feelings – are natural and normal. Feelings are a part of being human. He encouraged us to talk about our feelings so that we could manage them, because "Whatever is mentionable can be more manageable." And he showed us some of the many ways people express their feelings.
Sharing a wading pool (1969)
He helped us with our relationships with others.
In Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, everyone was welcomed and valued. Mister Rogers helped us appreciate and respect others. He opened his door to all, and warmly invited them to share their talents and ideas. He showed us the power of kindness and compassion, "You are special and so is everyone else in this world."
TV is all about coveting, but Mister Rogers was about appreciating what you already have, about caring for others and seeing the best in them.
"Head and Shoulders" with Ella Jenkins (1985)
He helped us wonder and learn.
Mister Rogers gave us the tools to be lifelong learners – a sense of wonder, a curiosity about the world around us, the willingness to ask questions. His genuine interest in the world was infectious. Whatever he showed us, he encouraged us to look and listen carefully, to keep trying, and to see the world as a wondrous place. "Did you know when you wonder, you're learning."
Talking about new experiences (1994)
He helped us be ready for new experiences.
"I like to be told," Mister Rogers sang. He understood that new experiences or changes in routine can feel overwhelming and scary to young children. He showed us what to expect. He reassured us. He prepared us to meet and trust the people who would care for us – the doctor, the dentist, the barber, the teacher.
Death of a pet (1970)
He talked to us honestly about difficult subjects.
Mister Rogers was not afraid to tackle tough subjects. From divorce, to assassination, to death, he talked honestly and openly about subjects that adults were often afraid to talk about, but which children often silently wondered and worried about. And he was willing to help children, and adults too, know that there are some things no one can understand. "Some things I don't understand."
His mentor
There was another voice behind the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood scripts. It was the voice of Fred Rogers' chief consultant Dr. Margaret McFarland, a highly regarded child psychologist. They met regularly to discuss child development theory, so that the scripts would authentically reflect the real concerns and feelings of children.
Although children's "outsides" may have changed a lot, their inner needs have remained very much the same. Society seems to be pushing children to grow faster, but their developmental tasks have remained constant.

Treasury Dept to invoke 'extraordinary measures' as Congress misses debt-ceiling deadline
DUK Editor Team Send an email August 2, 2021
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen testifies before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services about the FY22 Treasury budget request on Capitol Hill, in Washington, DC, June 23, 2021.

The Treasury Department will begin conducting emergency cash-conservation steps on Monday to avoid busting the federal borrowing limit after a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling expired at the end of July.
Economists say those so-called extraordinary measures will allow Treasury to pay off the government's bills without floating new debt for two to three months. After that, Congress will need to either raise or suspend the borrowing limit or risk the U.S. defaulting on its obligations.
The limit, a facet of American politics for over a century, prevents the Treasury from issuing new bonds to fund government activities once a certain debt level is reached. That level reached $22 trillion in August 2019 and was suspended until Saturday.
The new debt limit will include Washington's additional borrowing since summer 2019. The Congressional Budget Office estimated in July that the new cap will likely come in just north of $28.5 trillion.
The Treasury Department notified Congress on Monday afternoon to confirm that it's begun the emergency measures. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen explained to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., that her department will halt regular payments to a variety of retirement funds.
"I will be unable to fully invest the portion of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF) not immediately required to pay beneficiaries, and that a 'debt issuance suspension period' will begin on Monday, August 2, 2021 and last through Thursday, September 30, 2021," Yellen told the House speaker.
"I respectfully urge Congress to protect the full faith and credit of the United States by acting as soon as possible," she added.
Previously, Yellen impressed upon Pelosi hat trillions in federal spending and Covid relief laws have made it more difficult to say how long Treasury will be able to sustain its extraordinary measures.
Though the federal government has never defaulted, economists say such an event would have disastrous effects on the U.S. economy by spiking interest rates.
"The government needs to have funds, for example, to pay interest on its debt, and if it were to stop paying interest that could be extremely unsettling for financial markets," Harvard University economics professor Karen Dynan told CNBC on Thursday.
These funds are needed to pay government workers and send out Social Security checks, said Dynan, a Treasury official during the Obama administration. "People depend on that money and could suffer a lot of hardship if they don't get it as scheduled."
Still, near-certain economic calamity hasn't stopped politicians from using the debt ceiling as a political football over the years.
During the Obama administration, Republicans often used the specter of default as leverage to win spending reductions and other policy priorities from the White House in exchange for voting to raise the debt limit.
But with Democrats having marginal control in both the House and the Senate, Dynan echoed a consensus view that isn't too concerned about an eventual compromise.
The extraordinary measures allow the Treasury to redeem certain investments in federal pension programs and halt new ones in order to generate cash without raising the overall debt. But when those methods are exhausted, there is no backstop.
Unless the government floats new Treasury bonds, payments on Social Security, Medicare, military spending, interest on U.S. debt and other obligations just stop.
Lindsey Piegza, chief economist for Stifel, noted that extraordinary measures are neither new, nor are they cause for immediate alarm.
"We've implemented extraordinary measures before, so from a procedural standpoint this isn't much of a concern," she told CNBC last week.
"However, the implication is a further showdown in Washington eroding the average American's confidence in a cohesive, functioning government," she added. "It also highlights the ongoing infighting among policy officials which will make it more difficult for the two sides to come together on anything from spending to infrastructure to the debt ceiling."
While economists may be optimistic about an eventual suspension, the calculus is far more complicated in Washington.
The White House has all but washed its hands of the debt-ceiling morass.
"It is Congress's responsibility to raise or suspend the debt limit in order to pay for the spending it has already authorized over the years," said a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing negotiation.
In Congress, few politicians, Democrat or Republican, want to be cast as endorsing an ever-ballooning federal debt 15 months before an election, even if the government's spending is otherwise popular.
Complicating matters this year is the fact that members of Congress in both parties are eager to find compromise on a trillion-dollar infrastructure deal.
On top of that, Democrats are planning to pass a $3.5 trillion domestic spending bill along party lines later this year.
Pelosi must not only drum up enough votes to pass a debt-ceiling suspension or a hike, but also protect her razor-thin majority.
An aide to House Democratic leadership told CNBC that discussions about the ceiling are ongoing, and that the party's top lawmakers will not risk the full faith and credit of the United States.
The aide did not say which path forward Congress will pursue.

Ancestor worship is a religious practice based on the belief that deceased relatives have a continued existence and possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living. Practiced throughout the world since ancient times, it remains an important component of various religious practices today. In some cultures, the tradition may be more accurately described as ancestor veneration, as it seeks to honor dead relatives' deeds and memories. What are some methods used to worship one's ancestors?


Fairfield-Suisun School District Selects 8x8 | 8x8, Inc.
Like many school districts across the U.S., Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District (FSUSD) benefited for many years from U.S. federal E-Rate discounts on phone service. When those discounts were recently discontinued, the district faced a $500K increase in phone costs. Migrating to 8x8 metered phone service enabled FSUSD to keep expenses down to E-Rate levels, even after losing its 80% discount.
FSUSD has an enrollment of approximately 22,000 K-12 students, and 29 campuses, including 3 high schools, 4 middle schools, 17 elementary schools, several speciality schools, and 1 adult school.
For many years FSUSD has benefited from discounted phone service through the U.S. federal government's E-Rate program. This program, overseen by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was implemented in 1997 to make telecommunications and information services more affordable for schools and libraries in the U.S.
However, in 2014, the FCC announced a major change to E-Rate. Discounts for phone service are gradually being discontinued in order to prioritize support for broadband and wireless connectivity. While this is good news for schools and libraries that need to upgrade their networks, switches and wireless access points, it also means that they will have to pay considerably more for phone service than they have in the past.
That was a huge concern for Tim Goree, director of Technology Support Services at FSUSD. With the E-Rate discount, the district was spending just $180K a year on phone service. Once the discount disappeared, the district's cost would skyrocket to $680–700K.
The solution then became obvious: by eliminating those lines and moving to a hosted VoIP solution, the district could leverage its own robust network infrastructure and mitigate the loss of th e E-Rate discounts.
But after talking to a number of hosted VoIP vendors, Goree found that the average price point quoted was almost the same cost as FSUSD would have to pay for its existing phone service once the E-Rate discounts were discontinued. This still left him with a $500K per year shortfall.
Discouraged, Goree nearly gave up on the idea of implementing a hosted VoIP system. But in the spring of 2015, he attended the RTM CIO Congress in Palm Springs, California, an invitation-only, exclusive opportunity for technology leaders in the education industry to network with their peers, learn from industry thought leaders, share honest feedback, address critical challenges and take away pragmatic solutions that can be implemented immediately.
At the Congress, Goree had a chance to talk with various technology vendors, including 8x8. Although he wasn't familiar with 8x8 or its cloud-based VoIP offerings, he scheduled a meeting and finally found the solution he had been looking for.
Goree then asked his most important question: with metered service could 8x8 get the average phone cost down enough to meet the district's budget requirements? The 8x8 team crunched the numbers and told him yes.
Cautiously optimistic, Goree did a second cost analysis on the district's phone system to see whether metered service would provide enough minutes for employees. His analysis showed that up to 70% of installed phones already used fewer than 250 minutes per month.
Next, Goree and his team visited 8x8's headquarters in San Jose, California. There they met with senior executives, to discuss the specific needs of FSUSD. Satisfied that 8x8 understands how to deploy its cloud communications for the education market, the district began rolling out 8x8 service in August 2015.
Initially FSUSD did a pilot migration of its district office and two schools as a proof of concept. According to Goree, the migration was "super easy" because the district's network is already robust and few configuration changes were required. Once the phone numbers were ported over from AT&T, activating the 8x8 phones took less than a day.
Looking ahead, the district plans to migrate one school a month over the next two years. However, this schedule is contingent upon network bandwidth, phone system performance, and bids from outside vendors. When fully deployed, FSUSD will have 2,000 new phone lines.
As FSUSD's campuses migrate to 8x8 service, extension dialing is proving to be a major benefit to both users and the district's bottom line.
Previously, each FSUSD campus had its own phone system. This meant that users had to place outbound calls in order to reach colleagues at other district locations.
Now, 8x8 users can call coworkers at other migrated locations simply by dialing an internal extension. Not only is this easier and more convenient for employees, it further reduces the district's phone costs because internal calls do not count toward metered service.
8x8's district-wide directory service has quickly become popular among users. The directory can be accessed from any device— smartphone, desk phone or computer— making it easy to look up and contact coworkers at any district location.
For FSUSD teachers, the 8x8 mobile app is a favorite feature. It allows them to call students' homes when it's convenient, including after school and in the evening, while displaying the school's caller ID instead of their own private cell phone numbers.
Yet another benefit of 8x8 phone service directly benefits Goree's own IT department. Before the district's 8x8 deployment began, each of its 29 locations had its own phone system and leased PRI lines. Maintaining all these hardware phone systems took a lot of IT time—time that is now being reclaimed as the district rolls out 8x8 cloud communications.
When organizations consider migrating from traditional phone service to a VoIP solution, the question of reliability often arises. In Goree's experience, not only is 8x8's hosted service highly reliable, it's actually more stable than the district's wired lines!
Assuming that 8x8 continues to be the district's vendor of choice for future phone system contracts, Goree predicts that the migration will be a triple win for FSUSD.
First, the average anticipated cost for each extension will be significantly reduced. That means the district will continue to pay just $180K annually for phone service, despite losing its E-Rate discount.
Second, FSUSD's phone service will be significantly upgraded, with advanced features that were not available with the previous traditional PRI lines.
Third, FSUSD can continue to upgrade its network switches, wireless access points, and wiring at a substantial discount through E-Rate, because of the program's new focus on broadband and wireless connectivity.

No dry weather this year! El Nino seen arriving too late to hurt India's monsoon rains
Posted by Better Shipping on 09-03-2017
India's monsoon may escape the effects of a possible El Nino as the event that can bring dry weather to the world's top cotton grower and second-biggest wheat and sugar producer.
"Mostly it may not have any impact on rains" because the El Nino probably won't develop until later this year, said D.S. Pai, head of the long-range forecasting division of India Meteorological Department. "As of now it's not indicating. There will be clarity when more information is available in April and May."
Forecasters globally have been increasing odds that El Nino will develop this year as temperatures in the Pacific Ocean rise. Australia's Bureau of Meteorology issued an El Nino "watch" on February 28, indicating the likelihood of the pattern forming this year is about 50 per cent. Six climate models suggest thresholds may be reached by July. The US Climate Prediction Center raised its odds to 50 per cent by the end of the year, while Malaysia puts a 50 per cent chance of development between September and November. The 2015-16 El Nino was the strongest since the record event of 1997-98.
A late El Nino may miss India's monsoon season that runs from June through September, accounting for more than 70 per cent of rain and watering more than half of all farmland. Rainfall was normal in 2016 following two years of deficit that curbed output of sugar cane, wheat and pulses. The good monsoon rains encouraged farmers to expand crop planting and the government predicts India's grain harvest will reach an all-time high on record rice, wheat and pulses production.
Farmers are watching the rain and temperature outlooks, especially for wheat crops that are to be harvested from this month. Wheat production will probably fall short of a government forecast, spurring imports, according to a Bloomberg survey published last month.
India's Meteorological Department said last week that above-normal temperatures are likely across India from March to May after 2016 was the warmest year since 1901. While weak La Nina conditions have been prevailing over the Pacific Ocean since July, forecasts indicate the pattern will weaken and reach neutral levels during the pre-monsoon season, it said.
"Any temperature that is above normal will have a direct bearing on the crop, be it north or central India," said G.P. Sharma, a former president of India's Skymet Weather Services Pvt. "The crop needs cooler temperatures and a spell of rain also. The combination of the two decides the size of grain and yield."
Rain is likely in parts of wheat-growing states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan this week, according to India's weather department. Temperatures rose in the north parts of the country in the second half of February, it said.

Last year, the RSPCA rescued 33,535 animals who were suffering mistreatment, neglect or abuse. This sickening statistic makes animal advocates everywhere fight all the harder to support the RSPCA in their ongoing crusade for animal rights.
Monday, 20 August was the official RSPCA Cupcake Day in support of the protection of our furry (feathered, scaled!) friends.
There are so many proud pet owners here at West Carr & Harvey with all animal lovers fervently baking in preparation for Monday's event to show their support and make a difference.
A big 'Thank you' goes to Monika Orokity for coordinating another fantastic event this year, encouraging all staff to get into the kitchen and bake up a sugary storm. The event also featured a cutest pet competition with every owner believing their 'baby' should have won!
Outside the special fundraising event, you can continue to help this hardworking organisation in other ways, including volunteering your time and donating financially whenever you can.
Sadly, there are 135,000 abandoned animals who come through the RSPCA shelter doors every year. If you are in a position to provide a forever-home to one of these lost souls, now is the time to open your life to a new best friend.
Please visit rspca.org.au for more information about how you can continue to help.

The President of Cuba highlights UNESCO's recognition of the country
Arzu December 1, 2021 3 min read
Havana, December 1. – President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Connell Bermuds, Exemplifies the positive results of today Regional Comparative and Interpretive Study, ERCE 2019, By the organization This was released on November 30th United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In his Twitter social networking account Díaz-Canel, the international organization revealed that Cuba is higher than the regional average in most of its estimates and does not show a gender gap in mathematics and science.
"The results of a regional comparative and descriptive study published by UNESCO, ERCE 2019, show that #Cuba is above the regional average in most areas estimated and that it does not have gender gaps in mathematics and science," he tweeted. The digital newspaper has attached a note from Cubadebate with further details on the matter.
CUBOPATE notes that ERCE 2019 recognizes that Cuba offers higher than average regional results in third-grade reading and math and sixth-grade reading and science.
In addition, the results obtained in mathematics for both grades do not present differences between males and females, i.e. it collects gender gaps.
The estimates include Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay. In addition, it analyzed the performance of 160,000 third- and sixth-grade elementary school students from these 16 countries in the region.
Claudia Eurip, director of the regional education office for Latin America and the Caribbean (Orealc / Unesco Santiago), pointed out that ERCE 2019 shows very low levels of learning results and stagnation in its progress. Infection unleashes a digital platform.

Similarly, education systems show that it takes less than a decade to achieve the goals set out in the 2030 agenda, so urgent steps must be taken to address this learning crisis that affects more than half of the student population. Expanded and deepened with Covit-19.
Cuba before ERCE 2019
In the Greater Antilles, a total of 10 thousand 399 boys and girls participated in the study; Five thousand 273 of them were in the third class and five thousand 126 in the sixth class. Tests were conducted in 2019 and students were assessed in areas such as reading, writing and math. In addition, the science section in the sixth grade was assessed.
In reading, Cuba scored 730 points in the third grade, which is higher than the regional average (697 points), explains Cuba. In addition, it offers a lower percentage of students in Level I, with a lower performance (44.3%) than the regional result (30.3%) and a higher percentage of boys and girls in IV, with a better performance (21.1%) compared to other regions (15.7%).
Another 738 points were reached in the sixth grade, which is higher than the regional average (696 points). In mathematics, in the third grade, he scored 751 points, compared to 698 points in the Cuban region. In addition, the study found that three out of every four Cuban students have a low performance I level I level.
In sixth grade science, the island scored 779 points, well above the regional average of 702 points. In addition, the proportion of students in Performance I decreases significantly (17%) compared to the region (37.7%), and the percentage of those in High Performance IV increases (24.4%), which is four times higher than the region average (5.9%).

In Cuba, features related to students and their families associated with higher education achievement: access to preschool education; Study days per week; Parental involvement and expectations; And the high socio-economic status of families.
In contrast, the factors associated with learning limitations are repetitive and absent in classes.
Meanwhile, factors related to teachers and their practices related to higher education: teachers' expectations towards the academic future of their students; Concerned with their welfare; Organization and planning of learning support and teaching.
One of the factors associated with learning limit is disruption in the classroom.

Tricia Clary has been a 4th grade teacher at Mesa Elementary for over 10 years. She has dedicated herself to improving her student's lives not only academically, but physically, and emotionally. Tricia is so deserving of this award not only for her achievements in conservation education, but for her role as a leader in her school, her school district, and her community.
Tricia attended the American Wilderness Leadership School over 4 years ago with a few of her colleagues. She came back from the Leadership School and proceeded to develop an Archery in the Schools program and an all-day outdoor event called "Ecology Day" for the whole school. Tricia wrote grants, solicited sponsorships and coordinated the first Ecology Day for grades K-6 and it was a huge success. She brings in volunteers and community partners to run stations that teach students about water, soil, agriculture, energy, wildlife and conservation. Ecology Day has become a staple for Mesa Elementary students and teachers, and Tricia has been able to give her students a broader understanding of the world they live in.
Tricia's efforts in her classroom do not end there. She has helped each teacher from Mesa attend the American Wilderness Leadership School so that the entire staff is certified to teach Archery in the Schools. Tricia invites guest speakers into her classroom on a regular basis to enhance her students understanding about wildlife, natural resources, and conservation. Last year, Tricia spearheaded efforts to build an outdoor classroom at Mesa Elementary, and with help from parents and the community, Mesa Elementary now has an outdoor classroom to make learning about natural resources more accessible. She utilizes the Franklin Conservation District's Salmon in the Classroom and Wheat Week programs and goes above and beyond to expound on each program so her students never receive the bare minimum…they receive the best and the most when it comes to hands-on learning.
Tricia brings so much to her teaching that many of her students reflect on her classroom as being their favorite! Parents appreciate the love and support she gives each of her students, and principal, Cara Morrill, says Tricia is an amazing teacher who is loved by staff, students, parents and the community. She is always looking for ways to give and to make Mesa Elementary a better place to be. We are lucky to have her on our teaching staff.

All three major U.S. equity indexes clawed back some of their losses from the previous weeks to end November in slightly positive territory. The S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ finished the month up 1.79%, 1.68%, and 0.34%, respectively.
Last Wednesday domestic stocks experienced their largest single-day gain in eight months in response to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments on interest rate hikes to the Economic Club of New York, which were viewed as more dovish than his comments in recent months.
Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil prices failed to bounce back from their one-year low. With ten consecutive weeks of increasing inventory, prices struggled to move much higher than $50 per barrel.

John Idowu Conrad Taylor (24 August 1917 – 7 November 1973) was a Nigerian jurist, Judge of the Supreme Court of Nigeria  (1964 to 1967), and the first Chief Justice of Lagos State (1967 to 1973).

Education and early life
John Taylor was born in Lagos and was the fourth child of Eusebius James Alexander Taylor (a prominent lawyer and nationalist) and Remilekun Alice Taylor (née Williams). He attended Olowogbowo Methodist School for his primary education and Methodist Boys High School for part of his secondary education. He left for England in 1929 where he completed his secondary education at Culford School in Bury St. Edmunds, between April 1929 and July 1936.

He entered King's College London in 1936 to read law, before transferring to Brasenose College, Oxford in 1937 where he was a Boxing Blue. He graduated with a second class degree in the Honour School of Jurisprudence and was subsequently called to the Bar at the Middle Temple on 14 January 1941. He returned to Nigeria in December 1941 and joined his father's law firm, which he later headed upon his father's death in 1947.

Career
Taylor had a swift rise through the Nigerian legal ranks, culminating in appointment as a Judge of the High Court, Western Nigeria, at the age of 39. In 1960 he became Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and, in 1964, Chief Justice of the Federal Territory of Lagos. When Lagos State was created in 1967, he became the first Chief Justice of the new state.

In 1967 Justice Taylor became Pro-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, a position which he held until his death in 1973 at age 56. Upon his death, the Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, delivered a speech in which he said: "In an age which corruption, intrigues back biting and the love of office and power are fast becoming a virtue, Mr. Justice Taylor stood out from the crowd with a detachment that has brought immense dignity to the High Office of a Judge".

He also has a major street in Victoria Island, Lagos named after him.

Mieradome – Kate O'Hegarty
Goodreads description: Mieradome pulls the reader into a unique fantasy world of faeries and technology, a different take on the Alice in Wonderland concept. The story revolves around a young girl named Amavia who believes she is a human girl, but slowly comes to find she is a faery in the world of Mieradome. Slowly who Amavia was began to unravel to show the truth; the truth that she just may be the evil they need to destroy. This is the first novel in a series, and gives a glimpse of what is to come for the main character Amavia.
Amavia is a 15 year old girl, living with her mother and step father in a very grand house. She finds herself drawn to the Grandmother Oak Tree in the garden. The tree turns out to be an opening into a new world, a faery world, where Amavia soon discovers she is actually a faery. The discovery leads to Amavia having to go back home and take The Light from her mother, who has died knowing that her daughter has ventured into such dangerous realms within the faery world.
Amavia isn't just any faery; she is the daughter of the Emperor and is the true heir to his kingdom. The news that she is alive causes problems for some people within the world of Mieradome especially those who would have been next in line to the throne as it were. Amavia finds herself in a situation that could be life threatening and needs to prove herself within Mieradome.
Mieradome was a bit of a slow read for me. As a 336 page book it wasn't terribly long but it was an e-book which caused more problems than I expected and it was also a bit longwinded in places. I found myself having to go over bits that I had previously read just to ensure I had understood fully what was being said. It is definitely not a quick, easy read.
The storyline to Mieradome was amazing; the world was beautifully described and very well laid out. The descriptions of the world and its 'people' were exactly what you would expect for a book about a faery world. While it did remind me of Alice in Wonderland and Pan's labyrinth as some reviews I'd checked out told me it would it also stood alone as a very special world. The characters were, in some cases, hard to relate to but in others they were great to get along with. The Captain for example was brilliantly funny, especially when you discover that his ship is called his "baby," he's the type of character that every book should have.
While the world created and the storyline of the book were fantastic, the characters proved a little more difficult for me. I was often thrown out by the author's habit of telling the reader exactly what everyone was called, having been told the names of some leprechauns on one page towards the beginning and never seeing them again for example. I also thought that perhaps the story of Amavia herself wasn't developed enough, I didn't understand why she went into the world in the first place, this may have been my own fault if I missed something but I don't think I would have been hanging around trees and following faeries into them at 15 unless I had good reason to. The beginning was very rocky for me, however once Amavia got into Mieradome for good, so did I.
I think Mieradome was a brilliant story but undeveloped in places, and not brilliantly edited in others. I didn't love it, it was hard to get into and the number of characters proved very confusing, however I wouldn't say I hated it, it was a good read and I think it finished as a very good beginning to a series. As a debut I believe that Kate O'Hegarty could build on this so well and with some tweaking she could have a fantastic series here.

Militias Regroup in West Libya After Failed Assassination Attempt
The Libyan city of Warshafana is witnessing an alarming military build-up, following a failed assassination attempt on the commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion militia. This is expected to fuel tension between armed groups, and undermine security and instability in western Libya.
On Friday, Commander Ramzi Al-Lafaa announced that he had survived a failed assassination attempt in his home by an armed group, accusing his opponents of being behind the assassination.
Pictures circulated on social media showed militias grouping, and dozens of military vehicles belonging to the 3rd Infantry Battalion deployed in the city center. In a statement, they threatened to take the necessary security and legal measures to respond to the assassination attempt.
In Warshafana, located in western Libya, the loyalties of the armed militias are divided between the country's two rival governments, Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba in Tripoli, and Fathi Bashagha in Sirte.
This comes only two days after violent clashes erupted in the vicinity of Tripoli International Airport. Heavy clashes and explosions were heard in the civilian area of Qasr Bin Ghashir.
At least five explosions occurred, followed by gunfire during the confrontations between the 111th militia led by Abdel-Salam Al-Zoubi and the Rada militia led by Abdel-Raouf Kara, sources told Sky News Arabia. The clashes led to the killing of a young man, Mohamed Al-Muhishi, from Misrata.
The area and the road adjacent to Tripoli International Airport often become a site of clashes for influence in the Libyan capital.
The inclusion of these armed groups in the UN-led political reconciliation process is widely considered only nominal.
On 4 January, violent clashes erupted between armed groups in Al-Ajilat city, western Libya. This prompted the authorities to suspend studies in the city.
On 16 December, Libyan media sources reported that two people were killed and several wounded, as a result of clashes between militias in Sabratha, western Libya.
In August, deadly clashes erupted in Tripoli leaving a death toll of 32, with 159 injuries,
Notably, the clashes come at a time when the international community is pushing for consensus on a constitutional basis leading to elections.
Libya has been in turmoil since a NATO invasion helped topple Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. His death led to a decade-long rivalry between the UN-backed administration in Tripoli, and the Parliament in Tobruk. The UN-brokered reconciliation process put a caretaker unity government in charge in 2021, but the interim authorities failed to hold elections and the chaos continued.

Our 10 Best Upper East Side Restaurants | Village Voice
Our 10 Best Upper East Side Restaurants
by Lauren Shockey
You'll always find a fine burger at JG Melon. Lauren Shockey
When you think of hot neighborhoods for dining, the Upper East Side probably isn't the first to come to mind. In fact, it's probably toward the bottom of your mental list. But a crop of new eateries over the past couple of years has resulted in some new — not to mention exciting — culinary blood. Sure you'll still find spots catering to the ladies who lunch, but also now a wealth of affordable, interesting restaurants with delicious food. Behold a list of old favorites and bright newcomers: Our 10 Best Upper East Side Restaurants.
10. JG Melon: JG Melon is the quintessential neighborhood burger joint. It offers a lively (although quite preppy — hey there, boarding-school buddies) bar scene, a kitschy old-time décor with knickknacks and paintings of watermelons on nearly every inch of wall, and, most importantly, consistently tasty hamburgers, garnished with red-onion slices and pickles. Order one plus a bloody Mary and settle in for a cozy night out. 1291 Third Avenue, 212-744-0585
9. Andaz: You'll find all the standards (vindaloo, korma, curries, etc.) plus several Southern faves (uttapam, dosa, idli) at this Indian restaurant, but you can always count on the quality and flavors being spot-on. Some of our favorite dishes include the kofta curry and the onion bhajia, not to mention the fluffy naan. Service is also great, and the lunchtime buffet is a steal. 1378 First Avenue, 212-288-0288
8. Candle 79: Finally, a vegetarian restaurant that offers a menu that's both flavorful and upscale! You'll find plenty of vibrant veggie fare here, like grilled kale salad with lentils and haricot verts and avocado stuffed with quinoa, cucumbers, and radishes. Sure, you'll still find faux meat, but trust us, dishes like porcini-crusted tofu with celeriac puree and chili-grilled seitan with mole sauce ain't your hippie grandmother's meat-free cuisine. 154 East 79th Street, 212-537-7179
7. Flex Mussels: No wimpy shriveled mussels at this seafood spot, only big plump Prince Edward Island ones, served in 23 different broths. The preparations range from a classic white wine and garlic treatment to one infused with Indian spices to a Portuguese-inspired bowl studded with linguica and clams. We're partial to the odd-sounding but yummy mushroom option and also the anise-scented Provençal one, but all are worth a gander. Make sure to order a cone or two of the crispy french fries, too. 174 East 82nd Street, 212-717-7772
6. Daniel: OK, maybe it's not fair to put Daniel on this list, because obviously it's really going to make any "Best Of" list, be it best French restaurants, best New York City restaurants, or best Upper East Side restaurants. Hell, it's supposedly the 11th-best restaurant in the world. But you know what, it deserves the fanfare. The service is absolutely impeccable and if you want to channel your inner 1 percent, it's where to go. But we're egalitarian here at Fork in the Road. If it's not a restaurant where you can eat on a regular basis, then it's not good enough to make it into the top five. So it'll get sixth place. 60 East 65th Street, 212-288-0033
5. Café Mingala: New York City boasts hardly any Burmese restaurants, which is a crying shame because the cuisine is downright delicious. In fact, Café Mingala is the only place we know of where we can find food from Myanmar, like the tasty and crunchy green tea leaf salad, spring ginger salad, and the garlicky Rangoon night-market noodles. The spicy curries are also delicious, and the price point utterly affordable. 1393 Second Avenue, 212-744-8008
One of the many kinds of tacos at Toloache 82 Lauren Shockey
4. Toloache 82: Yes, some fans might be silently protesting that Upper East Side institution Cascabel Taqueria isn't on this list. But really, Cascabel has started to go to shit, now that the owners have installed massive televisions in the dining room. The quality of food has suffered recently, too. But no worries, because newcomer Toloache 82 is bringing high-quality Mexican cuisine to the UES. Along with the many tacos (which even include Oaxacan grasshopper, featuring critters flown in from Mexico), you'll find haute Mex fare like short ribs in mole sauce, roasted garlic shrimp, and good guac. Oh yeah, and margaritas galore. 166 East 82nd Street, 212-861-4505
Old-fashioned chicken is often the best-fashioned chicken. Robert Sietsema
3. Jones Wood Foundry: This gastropub newcomer gets its name because a hardware store/foundry was once located on its 76th Street premises. But now it's a convivial eatery serving such British-influenced plates as kedgeree, boiled eggs and soldiers, and a smoked mackerel pâté. Our top picks, though, go to the old-fashioned roast chicken with mashed potatoes and the hearty steak and kidney pies. Comfort food done right. 401 East 76th Street, 212-249-2700
Hospoda's rabbit in aspic Lauren Shockey
2. Hospoda: At this stylish spot located on the ground floor of the Bohemian National Hall, you'll find contemporary Czech fare that's artfully presented and downright tasty. Dishes change regularly, but you'd be wise to try the fork-tender poached-beef flatiron steak with cream sauce and dill oil, succulent marbled pork belly, smoked beef tongue with yellow pea puree, and a block of shredded rabbit in savory aspic. Wash it all down with Pilsner Urquell, poured in four distinct styles ranging from all foam to headless. 321 East 73rd Street, 212-861-1038
Assorted sushi at Sushi of Gari Lauren Shockey
1. Sushi of Gari: New York City isn't short on sushi restaurants, but it's worth trekking to the Upper East Side to go to Sushi of Gari (yes, there are other locations, but this is, by far, the best of the bunch). Raw fish is the way to go; either get an assorted selection or put your trust in the sushi chefs' hands by indulging in omakase (don't worry, you can stop whenever you want). They are masters of their craft, and while it won't be cheap, it will be damn well worth it. It's sushi that actually tastes like it should. 402 East 78th Street, 212-517-5340

In Memoriam Stanza
in meh-mor-ee-uhm stahn-zuh
The "In Memoriam" stanza is a poetic form that originated with Alfred, Lord Tennyson's long poem, 'In Memoriam: A.H.H.'
E.g. A quatrain with a rhyme scheme of ABBA and written in iambic tetrameter is an "In Memoriam" stanza.
Related terms: Verse form, quatrain, elegy, dirge
Famously, Tennyson wrote this poem to honor his friend from Cambridge, Arthur Henry Hallam, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage when they both were very young. The poem was published in 1850 and is nearly 100 pages long.
It was written over a period of 17 years, between 1833 and 1850, and published anonymously. It's original, far longer, title was "IN MEMORIAM A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII."
This poem form has since been used to express grief and sadness at the loss of a loved one. In Tennyson's version, the poet speaks directly to his friend, reflecting on the pain of losing them and emphasizing how deeply he misses him. His use of iambic tetrameter gives his words a musicality that expresses this sorrow with poignancy and grace.

Memoriam Stanza Definition
In memoriam stanza is a specific poetic form of a quatrain in ABBA rhyme scheme in iambic tetrameter. It is most commonly associated with its namesake, the long poem 'In Memorial A.H.H.' by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
The form became so popular and so representative of Tennyson's style that other poets, since its publication in 1850, have utilized the form and their own works. Today, any stanza written with a rhyme scheme of ABBA and a metrical pattern of iambic tetrameter is regarded as an "In Memoriam" stanza.
Elements of an In Memoriam Stanza
The "In Memoriam" stanza follows the few specific fundamental features that help it stand out among other stanza forms. A poem that uses "In Memoriam" stanzas should be divided into quatrains or sets of four lines.
Each of these four-line stanzas should use a rhyme scheme of ABBA and a metrical pattern of iambic tetrameter. This means that each line should contain four sets of two beats, the first of which is unstressed and the second of which is stressed.
Like most poetic forms, it is still possible to write a poem in "In Memoriam" stanzas and diverge from the pattern at times. Even in his original poem, Tennyson did not use iambic tetramer perfectly throughout every one of his 2,916 lines.
Depending on the reader and their specific preferences, some people find Tennyson's use of iambic tetrameter for nearly 3,000 lines monotonous while others have described it as natural sounding and as evoking feelings of grief.
Some of the best-known lines of the poem read:
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
Examples of In Memoriam Stanzas
The best examples of In Memoriam stanzas come from the form's namesake, 'In Memoriam A.H.H.' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Here are stanzas one and two of 'In Memoriam A.H.H.' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson:
Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest Life in man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.
The first stanza uses the rhyming end words "love" and "prove" and "face" and "embrace." This first stanza is an ideal example of how within structured poetic forms, poets may diverge from perfect rhyme schemes and perfect end rhymes in order to use half or partial rhymes. The words "love" and "prove" are a perfect example of a half-rhyme.
The second stanza has another example of a half-rhyme with "brute" and "foot." The two words are not perfect rhymes, as "shade" and "made" are.
Why is the "In Memoriam" Stanza Important?
Other poets have adopted the "In Memoriam" stanza in their own works, often making use of the unique meter to evoke strong emotions. The powerful rhythm of the iambic tetrameter emphasizes the despair and longing that come with loss and thus makes it a popular choice for elegies.
By using this particular stanza, poets are able to create a sense of solemnity and respect that is befitting of honoring someone who has passed away.
The "In Memoriam" stanza is an important form of poetry because it provides an effective means for expressing grief. Through its (mostly) strict meter and four-line structure, poets are able to convey the depths of emotion that come with losing a loved one. Its popularity in elegiac poetry has made it an integral part of the literary tradition, allowing us to remember and mourn those that have been lost.
What kind of poem is 'In Memoriam' by Alfred Lord Tennyson?
'In Memoriam' by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a very famous elegy. This means that it was written in honor of someone who has passed away, in this case, a close friend of Tennyson's whom he met at university.
What is an 'In Memoriam' stanza?
An 'In Memoriam' stanza is a four-line stanza, or quatrain, that uses a rhyme scheme of ABBA. This pattern repeats over and over again, with different end words, while the poet also uses iambic tetrameter to structure the lines.
What is In Memoriam' by Alfred Lord Tennyson about?
'In Memoriam' by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a poem of grief. It is a lengthy poem that explores the cruelty of the natural world and how painful loss can be.
Elegy: a poem or song that is written in dedication to someone who has died.
Dirge: a song or poem composed after someone's death. These songs are usually shorter and more concise than elegies.
Ballad: a kind of verse, sometimes narrative in nature, often set to music and developed from 14th and 15th-century minstrelsy.
Canto: a subsection of a long narrative or epic poem. It is made up of at least five lines but it is normally much longer.
Closed Form: refers to poems that use a closed, specific structure or pattern. This includes poems written in the form of a sonnet, villanelle, haiku, limerick, and more.

Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers announces engagement after coming under fire for mocking Miss Vietnam, Miss Cambodia
Miss USA slammed for comments about two Miss Universe contestants
Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers is getting slammed for her comments about two Miss Universe contestants who are both Asian.
Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers has a sunny outlook on her future.
The 24-year-old beauty queen from Nebraska is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Connor Combs, who proposed the same night she moved on to the semi-finals of Miss Universe pageant in Thailand, on Dec. 17.
"I knew Thailand would change my life, but what I did not realize was that it would also be where I begin a new lifelong journey," she shared on Instagram, captioning a photo with Combs.
"On Dec 17, not only did I represent my country on an international stage, but I also said yes to forever with my best friend. I cannot stop hugging on my fiancé, staring at my ring, and smiling thinking about it."
The engagement comes after Summers was slammed for comments caught on video about Miss Vietnam H'Hen Niê and Miss Cambodia Rern Sinat not understanding English.
In a video captured by Miss Colombia Valeria Morales, Summers asked and then answered, "What do you think of Miss Vietnam Nie?"
"She's so cute and she pretends to know so much English, and then you ask her a question after having a whole conversation with her and she goes [smiles and nods]," Summers said, chuckling. She added, "She's adorable."
Summers repeated her impression of Nie upon Morales' request.
Later in the video, Summers expressed sympathy for Rern not knowing English.
"Miss Cambodia is here and doesn't speak any English and not a single other person speaks her language. Can you imagine? [Miss Australia] Francesca [Hung] said 'that would be so isolating,' and I said, 'Yes, and just confusing all the time.' Poor Cambodia."
Summers immediately sparked backlash over her remarks on social media. Many were upset not just at Summers' words and actions, but also at how she portrayed America on the global stage.
Reps for Miss Universe declined Fox News' request for comment at the time, but Summers spoke out in a contrite statement on Instagram — accompanied by a photo of herself, Rern and Niê in a group hug with some other contestants.
"@MissUniverse is an opportunity for women from around the world to learn about each other's cultures, life experiences, and views. We all come from different backgrounds and can grow alongside one another," she wrote.
"In a moment where I intended to admire the courage of a few of my sisters, I said something that I now realize can be perceived as not respectful, and I apologize. My life, friendships, and career revolve around me being a compassionate and empathetic woman," she continued. "I would never intend to hurt another. I am grateful for opportunities to speak with Nat, Miss Cambodia, and H'Hen, Miss Vietnam, directly about this experience. These are the moments that matter most to me."
