Course description: This course will survey the political, military, religious, social, economic, and cultural history of Europe in the high and late middle ages, c. AD 1000-1500. We will also look in depth at some individual events and developments, including the Crusades, the Black Death, the rise of centralized governments, and the growth of towns, and we will trace their long-term effects on European society. To do this, we will read works by modern scholars who have attempted to reconstruct pieces of the medieval past, and also accounts written by medieval people who described their own world as they saw it. In addition we will examine non-textual sources, including examples of the art, architecture, and material culture of medieval Europe.
Course objectives: This course should provide you with a good overview of European history between AD 1000 and 1500, and enable you to understand the significance both of outstanding individual careers and events, and of broad and long-term historical patterns. It should also enable you to develop important skills in:
* reading and evaluating sources carefully and critically
* identifying and analyzing a wide variety of types of evidence
* using such evidence to reconstruct and interpret the past
* combining research and analysis with thoughtful writing to produce clear, original, and persuasive arguments
There are two required textbooks (both available from eCampus):
Joseph and Frances Gies. Life in a Medieval City. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1969; rpt Harper and Row, Perennial Library, 1981.
Judith M. Bennett. Medieval Europe: A Short History. 11th edition. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2011. This book has just gone out of print. Our campus virtual bookstore (eCampus) has specially-printed copies available for our class, or else you are welcome to to purchase a second-hand copy of the original book from online or local booksellers.
There are also numerous required reading assignments from Internet Sources (listed below under Topics and Readings).
E-mail and Internet access: You will require an e-mail account and access to the internet for this class. All UWM students receive a free UWM e-mail account, and have free internet access via UWM computer terminals and buildings with wireless internet. The History Department regularly contacts students via their assigned UWM e-mail addresses. If you use another e-mail provider (e.g., Gmail or Yahoo!) instead of your assigned UWM e-address, please go immediately into your UWM email account and put a "forward" command on it to forward all incoming e-mail messages to the account that you routinely use. This is your responsibility; UWM reflectors use UWM e-addresses only.
Papers: There is one required, 5-page, research paper (described at end of syllabus). The paper is due in class on Tuesday, 2 April 2019.
Exams: There will be two exams: an in-class midterm (covering material from weeks 1-6) on Thursday, 28 Feb. 2019, and a final exam (covering material from weeks 7-15) on Monday, 13 May 2019, 10:00 AM- 12:00 noon. The final exam date and time are set by the University and cannot be altered. No alternative day or time for the final exam will be possible.
Grading and deadlines: Your final grade will be based on your research paper (25%); your midterm exam (25%); your final exam (25%); and your attendance and active participation and work in class (such as discussions, quizzes, etc.) (25%). The research paper is due and exams will be held on the dates specified above. Late work will not be accepted, except in cases of major illness or emergency (it is your responsibility to contact me – not your TA — immediately in such a case).
Attendance: Your regular attendance is essential. Students who fail to attend class or contact me during the first week of classes may be dropped administratively.
Electronic devices in class: You may use a laptop, tablet, or similar device in class only for work related to this class, such as accessing assigned readings or taking notes. This is a zero-tolerance policy: any non-class use will result in the immediate forfeiture of the privilege of using such a device in class for the remainder of the semester. All other electronic devices, including phones, must be turned off and stowed away during class.
Disabilities: If you have a disability, it is important that you contact me early in the semester for any help or accommodations you may need.
Academic Advising in History: All L&S students have to declare and complete an academic major to graduate. If you have not yet declared a major, you are encouraged to do so, even if you are at an early stage in your college education. If you are interested in declaring a major (or minor) in History, or if you need academic advising in History, please visit the Department of History undergraduate program web page at http://www4.uwm.edu/letsci/history/undergrad/ for information on how to proceed.
Academic integrity at UWM: UWM and I expect each student to be honest in academic performance. Failure to do so may result in discipline under rules published by the Board of Regents (UWS 14). The penalties for academic misconduct such as cheating or plagiarism can include a grade of "F" for the course and expulsion from the University. For UWM's policies on academic integrity, see http://uwm.edu/academicaffairs/facultystaff/policies/academic-misconduct/
UWM policies on course-related matters: See the website of the Secretary of the University, at http://uwm.edu/secu/wp-content/uploads/sites/122/2016/12/Syllabus-Links.pdf

RESEARCH PAPER FOR HISTORY 204
Choose one of the following topics:
You are a Jew or Muslim who lived in Jerusalem in AD 1099 and survived the capture of the city by the Crusaders in that year. Write a memoir describing your experiences there during the siege and conquest of the city by the forces of the First Crusade. (As a Jew or Muslim you do not, of course, use the AD calendar or the term "Crusade.")
It is the year 1215. You are an emissary of the pope, visiting the English court. Write a confidential report to the pope giving the political news.
It is sometime between 1300 and 1320. You are a peasant or town-dweller from the south of France who has been arrested and charged with heresy by the local Inquisitor. Produce a transcript of your interrogation and testimony in the Inquisitor's court.
You are a physician (if male) or (if female) a nun serving as a nurse at the Hôtel-Dieu, in Paris, at the time of the Black Death. Write a report to your superiors about your experiences in Paris during that calamity.
Your paper must be double-spaced and use a 12-point font. It must be five pages long, exclusive of endnotes and bibliography.
It must be written in the first-person.
The point is to produce a piece of genuine historical research, packed with factual details, so no fantasy and no time-travelers, please.
Your paper must be based on a minimum of two primary sources and three scholarly secondary sources. Use only sources that are directly relevant to your own paper topic. Encyclopedias are permissible as sources of general background reading (and must be cited if used), but may not be used as any of the three required secondary sources.
ALL ONLINE SOURCES ARE PROHIBITED EXCEPT FOR:
Primary sources (such as medieval chronicles or legal documents, or photographs of art or artifacts)
Scholarly books or journal articles (such as those available through Google Books or JSTOR)
Maps and other illustrations (optional)
No websites (including Wikipedia) are permitted as secondary sources.
Remember that primary sources, which include artifacts as well as texts, date from the period that you are studying; they are "eyewitness" sources. Examples of primary sources from medieval Europe include texts such as chronicles, poems, and legal documents, and artifacts such as pottery, coins, skeletons, or buildings. It is OK to use as primary sources medieval texts in modern English translations, and to use photographs (but not drawings) of artifacts. You are welcome to use relevant primary sources from this syllabus; I have also put links to a small selection of online primary sources on my homepage, at:
https://sites.uwm.edu/carlin/hist-204-primary-sources-for-papers/
Secondary sources date from after the period that you are studying; they are not"eyewitness" sources. Examples of secondary sources include modern books, articles, maps, and drawings that attempt to reconstruct some aspect of the medieval past. Use only scholarly secondary sources, which are fully documented with footnotes or endnotes; a bibliography alone is insufficient. Thus, our two course textbooks are notscholarly secondary sources.
If you are still unclear about the difference between primary and secondary sources, see me or read the essay "Why study history from primary sources?" available online at:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/robinson-sources.asp
THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION FORMAT FOR YOUR PAPER IS THAT OF THE CHICAGO MANUAL OF STYLE:

A New Jersey Based, Family-Owned Company
The Tajfel Family, currently operating as Hotels Unlimited, Inc. and TFE Properties, has been in the hotel business since 1979. The company was pioneered by Henry Tajfel, the Chairman of the Board, and is now run by his sons Doran and Carey, Co-Presidents.
The key ingredient to their success has been their personal involvement in the management of their properties. This gives them a tremendous advantage over other companies who do not maintain the same strict quality controls and standards. In fact, Hotels Unlimited hotels have garnered many consumer and brand awards over the years, including:
5 Quality Awards from international hotel brands
2 Renovation Awards from international hotel brands
The family enterprise has expanded and matured from 24 rooms in 1979 to now include 11 hotels with nearly 1,600 rooms, as well as retail and office space, self-storage facilities, and other hotel and residential complexes under development. Hotels Unlimited currently owns and operates these hotels:

Diverse Offerings
With 11 hotels and nearly 1,600 rooms, we believe our clients are best served by our diversity of convenient locations. See our map for all the locations of our New Jersey hotels.
Checklists are an efficient way of ensuring our quality standards are met.

Perhaps the most important of the quality control checklists are the Manager On Duty (MOD) Checklist, Preventative Maintenance (PM) Checklist, and the Housekeeping Score Sheet. We go above and beyond the standards required by our franchised brands. While the brands may send inspectors to our hotels once or twice per year, we send our own team of inspectors to each hotel 3-4 times per year. The additional inspections mean that no detail goes unseen.
We believe that trust is earned by genuine customer experiences. We work tirelessly to earn and exceed our benchmarks for guest satisfaction and it shows. Our hotels are top-rated on TripAdvisor.

Workouts with fewer reps could yield better results
exercise_indianbureaucracy
Time-poor people who do fewer repetitions during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts may get better fitness benefits than those who complete more, according to a University of Stirling analysis.
Experts from Scotland's University for Sporting Excellence have reviewed existing studies that investigate the benefits of regularly performing repetitions of a special type of high-intensity cycle sprint known as 'supramaximal'. They found doing fewer repetitions of these sprint intervals on a bike may lead to greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness.
Dr Niels Vollaard, Lecturer in Health and Exercise Science in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport, said: "Lack of time is frequently cited as one of the main barriers to people becoming or staying physically active. High-intensity workouts have begun to tackle this problem, allowing people to get maximum health benefits while working out for a shorter time.
"We found improved cardiorespiratory fitness does not suffer when people complete fewer sprint repetitions and that this may even produce better results. The optimal number of repetitions appears to be just two, so workouts based on supramaximal sprints can be kept very short without compromising on the results."
The findings of this research are only applicable to 'supramaximal' exercise, which requires specialised exercise bikes that enable very high exercise intensities. Whether HIIT workouts at lower intensities also benefit from a low number of sprint repetitions is not yet known.
Previously, it has been assumed that performing more repetitions of high-intensity exercise will produce greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness.
In this analysis, published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, scientists found that after performing two maximal sprints, each additional sprint in a training session reduced the overall improvement in fitness by around 5% on average.
Dr Vollaard added: "For the first time, we have evidence to suggest an indicator of fitness levels is improved more by doing fewer repetitions of high-intensity exercise. We are currently performing studies to investigate the physiological mechanisms that may explain this unexpected finding.
"To encourage more people to become active and help increase the health of the population, we need to investigate the optimal duration and number of sprint intervals people could undertake on a bike, while getting the same benefits as longer sessions."
Fitness levels were measured by VO2max, the maximal amount of oxygen the body is capable of utilising in one minute, which is accepted as one of the best indicators of future health and risk of premature death. However, studying other indicators of health and fitness, including blood pressure and insulin sensitivity, will give a fuller picture of how the body responds to different types of HIIT workouts.

It's incredibly common to find plastic grocery bags like this one littering the shore of the Spokane River, says Riverkeeper Jerry White.

Naomi Hanvey: I use reusable bags, but keep in mind that it takes a lot of energy to make them, and most are not biodegradable. You need to use them a lot (and, boy, keep buying new ones) for them to be worth it.

"After the Vote" by Mary Lou Reed (11/29/18) talked about "the firm red slap" over a hopeful blue wave. Mary shouldn't be puzzled about why voters in Eastern Washington and North Idaho continue to vote for the elephant. Voting is largely based on myths about one side or the other. Those myths seem to stick to Democrats and roll off Republicans. God, guns and gays has dominated those myths along with immigration and support for the military. Democrats are godless gays who want to take your guns, defund the military and want open borders.
Republicans love white Christianity, want everyone to be armed, support "traditional" marriages that frequently end in divorce, want the military to fight neverending wars, put illegal alien children in cages and believe that gays can be cured.
Elections focus on the myths and not on clean water and air, health care, education, transportation, jobs, roads, bridges and energy. Results no longer matter, just the color of the candidate's mythical politics.


The code i was working from is p0469. after replacing the purge valve solenoid the fault cleared. remember for your future customers that have a 2007 chevy aveo 1.6l front wheel drive.. The purge solenoid is located on a bracket behind the plate that the ignition coils and ignition control module sit on. unbolt the rear nuts of the ignition plate and the bracket should slide out.. Thank you for the reply. yes, i continued my online search, and i found the diagram. i was looking for the round solenoid everyone kept describing, but mine is a smallish rectangular box attached to the frame above the vent canister, above the fuel tank, right between the cab and the bed (you have to reach between them to undo the bolt)..
The vent valve can be tested separately. the vent valve is normally open and closes when powered. a vent valve is located near the charcoal canister, usually in the back of the vehicle.. Tsb list for the 2007 chevrolet silverado. the tsb information displayed below are summaries. unfortunately we do not have access to the full versions.. The solenoid inside the canister that makes the vent open is probably being affected by some sort of electrical problem. there are ways to bypass the system but your check engine light would turn on and your car would leak fuel fumes..
Where is the evap vent valve located on a 2006 chevy silverado ext cab 5.3l and do i need to drop gastank to find,looked - answered by a verified chevy mechanic. So my education on this is that the purge valve is the valve located on the engine, used for purging vapor from the charcoal canister. the vent valve is the one located near the fuel tank..


View cart "Nonverbal Communication · Course ·" has been added to your cart.
Companies and organizations are in need to know specific personalities and traits about people; people they want to hire, promote, and fit into a team.
Relationship Coaching course is an interactive program for developing your individual employee positioning module, ready for immediate implementation.
Relationship Coaching is a form of coaching that involves your client. A satisfied person is a productive person. The trick is to know what each person's strengths ad weaknesses are and to be able to position him/her for success and the greatest productivity for your company. The first activity is to fill out the Workshop Objective Form. This will set the tone for the seminar.
In order to build that relationship, there has to be mutual trust and what is to be agreed upon and of course, all must be held confidential between you and your client.
Relationship Coaching Addresses The Client's Whole Life!
We are people have families, friends, significant others outside of work. So, we are not one-dimensional. We enjoy different types of sports. Some like to have time to read; another to reflect; while some to excel. The Coach MUST address the client's whole life.
When brainstorming, it is important to have the client include all aspects of his/her life.
Using the Life Style Wheel will help participants think of how balanced their lives are.
Focuses on the client not the coaching!
Discuss the roles of a Relationship Coach. The coach focuses on what the client wants. Explain that it is important for them to brainstorm at this point and list all the things that "in a perfect world" they could have and achieve.
Some of the same things your clients will list are the things you will find your class participants will list.Be aware of the differences between a coach and a manager.
What does the relationship coach provide?
The relationship coach is responsible to supply the client with tools needed for constructive change, implementation and success.
A coach understands and teaches the client how the work of the group supports the aims of the organization.
A coach understands that people are different from each other. He tries to create interest, joy and challenges in work. He tries to optimize the education, skills and abilities of everyone.
The coach is a learner as well as a teacher. He encourages his client to study. He provides seminars and courses for advancement of learning.
First of all the coach creates trust as well as an environment that encourages freedom and innovation. Without expect perfection.
Furthermore, he will hold an informal, unhurried conversation with every one of his clients at least once a year, just to listen. The meeting will be spontaneous.
Above all, the coach listens and learns without passing judgment on the person he is coaching.
If your client is a negative person (the glass is half empty) instead of (the glass is half full) it is up to you to teach the perils of thinking positive.
Invite the class to REPLACE NEGATIVE statements into positive ones. An idea might be to discuss how optimism actually can help them to achieve goals. A Library is a great place to find information as well as the Internet about positive energy and affirmations and how they help so much with change.
You Can Overcome whatever it is.
Share what you have learned from the negative experience.

"Yes, I Would Testify Again": Anita Hill Toasts to Free Expression
Lupita Nyong'o honored the law professor and activist at the PEN America Literary Gala, which was hosted by John Oliver.
Before Anita Hill delivered a speech at turns fiery and reflective to accept the Courage Award at the PEN America Literary Gala Tuesday, she held her hand up in a peace sign. It was a quick and cheeky gesture that cut through some of the tension in the room. A standing ovation greeted her at the stage, and the crowd—which included Gay Talese, Preet Bharara, and Alec Baldwin—was clearly moved by a video montage of her legendary 1991 testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
She began by mentioning the power of education in her childhood (calling herself a "Brown v. Board of Education baby") and her memories of her mother writing letters when she was young. "What might she have written if she felt truly free?" Hill wondered. When she turned to that testimony about five minutes into her acceptance speech, her voice betrayed just a hint of emotion. She thanked the media—specifically Glamour magazine, whose former editor-in-chief Cindi Leive was in the crowd—for being a bulwark against the pain of the criticism she received at the time. Despite that, her stance on the experience was firm: "Yes, I would testify again."
PEN, a literary and free-expression nonprofit, devotes itself to protecting speech in America and abroad, and uses its annual fundraising gala as an opportunity to recognize public figures who live up to that mission. Months after Christine Blasey Ford's testimony reignited public debate over Supreme Court appointments, Hill was a natural fit for this year's honor. Lupita Nyong'o introduced Hill's speech, and after reminiscing about her own experience speaking out against sexual harassment, she referred to Hill as "one woman calling 'time's up' before anyone else was ready to hear it." (Hill, on the other hand, thanked Nyong'o for the "generous and warm introduction, and for just being Lupita.")
Despite the somber topics at hand, there was cause for celebration. Every year, the gala awards the PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Award a person from around the world who faces imprisonment or persecution for their reporting. The honorees from last year's gala, Reuters reporters Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, were recently released from their imprisonment in Myanmar. Before the ceremony, PEN America's C.E.O., Suzanne Nossel, said, "We were overjoyed to hear just about two weeks ago," before going on to mention the trip she made to Myanmar and thank some members of the organization for the work they did to support the PEN chapter in the country. This year's Barbey Award went to Nouf Abdulaziz, Loujain Al-Hathloul, and Eman Al-Nafjan, who are facing trial for their advocacy for women's rights in Saudi Arabia. Al-Hathloul's brother and sister accepted the award on their behalf, expressing some sadness that their sister was now "a voice who was once the voice of the voiceless."
The event took place in the American Museum of Natural History's main hall, under the room's iconic blue whale. Host John Oliver delivered an opening monologue that would have been right at home on his HBO series, Last Week Tonight, comparing Trump unfavorably to a dildo and reflecting on how much he misses the age in America when we had nothing better to do than be mad at Anne Hathaway and the Lost finale. (About anger over Game of Thrones' finale? "I think they're really phoning it in at this point.") In homage to the gala's setting, Oliver made a quip about the stress of doing comedy around taxidermied animals. "If you ask a comedian what a nightmare [performance] would be, it's a walrus staring on in contempt."
The crowd also included comedians Hari Kondabolu and Phoebe Robinson, along with novelists Min Jin Lee, Rumaan Alam, Zadie Smith, and Mona Simpson, and journalists and writers Robert Costa, Carl Bernstein, Andrew Solomon, and Masha Gessen.
To the crowd, the ur-celebrity was the C.E.O. of Scholastic, Richard Robinson, who was being presented with the Publishing Honoree Award. According to Robinson, Hill spoke to him about reading Scholastic books when she was a kid, and onstage, both Nossel and PEN America president and novelist Jennifer Egan mentioned that they did the same. Alec Baldwin—who noted that he is both Robinson's friend and neighbor—presented the award, and in his speech he included a message from Scholastic's most famous author, J.K. Rowling.
One of the more touching moments came when Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Robert Caro presented the Literary Service award to journalist Bob Woodward with a speech that honored the intricacy of Woodward and Bernstein's process of reporting All the President's Men. Woodward's speech was slightly profane and aimed at the state of American politics. But he also dropped in a piece of advice he got that sums up the PEN approach to the world. He said, "Ben Bradlee, the editor at The [Washington] Post, used to tell us how you deal with the stress of reporting a story when it's hard: nose down, ass up, moving slowly forward to the truth."

Rouhani, Masum Issue Joint Statement on Coop.
President Hassan Rouhani and his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Masum issued a joint statement on Thursday to express mutual respect and commitment to bilateral agreements and to advocate expansion of ties in the fields of mutual interest, IRNA reported.
The two presidents called for effective efforts to help accelerate the implementation of agreements "without (allowing) any foreign intervention in bilateral relations," the statement read.
According to the statement, the two top-level officials urged enhanced economic cooperation and exchange of views in this regard as well as the preparation of the ground for more active involvement of the public and private sectors of the two sides to help boost bilateral transactions.
Rouhani and Masum committed themselves to making joint efforts to deal with the current inefficiencies and obstacles in the way of promoting mutual trade. The statement wrote the two presidents sought increased collaboration in the field of environment, including protection of lagoons and biodiversity, reduction of dust storms, and participation in national and international forums organized to explore ways of protecting the environment. After examining the latest regional developments and security issues, the two sides reached the conclusion that they hold similar views about regional crises. They emphasized the necessity to continue bilateral and multilateral consultations to help solve the security challenges facing the Middle East and improve regional cooperation.
Describing terrorism and extremism as the "most important challenges faced by the region and the world," the two presidents denounced the use of terrorism as a tool to achieve political objectives and called for responsive collaboration by all regional and international parties to combat terrorism in any shape and form. They also underlined the importance of regional states' engagement in the process of finding peaceful political solutions to regional conflicts, rather than taking military action to interfere in the internal affairs of regional nations. Voicing concern over the ongoing developments in Yemen, the senior officials stressed that it is essential that a lasting ceasefire be secured and an immediate end be put to the military campaign against the war-ravaged Arab country. They also called for the blockade on Yemen to be lifted so that humanitarian aid can be delivered to the Yemeni nation.
Masum travelled to Tehran last Tuesday for a three-day visit to meet high-ranking Iranian officials.

Kingston police more likely to stop blacks, study finds
Timothy Appleby
Published May 27, 2005 Updated May 27, 2005
This article was published more than 10 years ago. Some information in it may no longer be current.
In the first racial-profiling study ever undertaken by a Canadian police force, a University of Toronto criminologist has found that black motorists and pedestrians in Kingston are almost four times more likely than Caucasians to be stopped and questioned by officers on patrol.
The perception of unequal treatment, however, does not seem to apply to all racial minorities in the mostly white city of 115,000. Commissioned by Police Chief William Closs, the year-long study found that while 1.4 aboriginals were stopped for each white person, the percentage of Asians and South Asians was lower than among whites.
Study author Professor Scot Wortley praised Chief Closs for the controversial initiative, whose results were released yesterday.
But the data should just be a beginning in efforts to alter perceptions of police discrimination, he said.
"I think this is something that has to go on, on an ongoing basis, much like it is in Great Britain," Prof. Wortley told CBC News.
After the results were unveiled, an emotional Chief Closs apologized to the city's black population.
For years, British and U.S. police have routinely crunched race-related statistics.
Their Canadian counterparts, however, have generally resisted gathering such numbers.
York Regional Police Sergeant Chris Bullen, president of the Toronto-based Association of Black Law Enforcers, praised the findings.
"This whole research is just the beginning of what I think should be something national because the community keeps telling us something is happening," he said.
But Bruce Miller of the Police Association of Ontario, which represents all police unions in the province save that of Toronto, was unimpressed, contending that if officers begin "second-guessing" their actions and instincts, public safety could be compromised.
"Certainly we're committed to excellence and working to overcome perceptions that problems exist. But it would concern us if there was a recommendation that all police services in Ontario start collecting these sorts of statistics, and fill out forms based on who they stop."
The study was in large part prompted by an incident in March, 2003, involving two black Kingston teenagers. Mark Wallen and Adrian Parkes, then aged 19 and 17 respectively, were handcuffed and searched as they walked home from basketball practice. Neither was ever charged with a crime.
At a disciplinary hearing last year, the adjudicator concluded that because the teens were observed peering through the windows of parked cars, the arresting officers had grounds to be suspicious.
The arrests and accompanying accusations of police racism nonetheless touched a nerve. And while Chief Closs rejected the allegations, he said earlier this year that "too often our citizens believe that police run a closed shop and are resistant to change and unfavourable yet constructive criticism."
So for a year, starting in October, 2003, Kingston police were instructed to record the race and ethnicity of every citizen with whom they dealt in a non-casual way.
More than 10,000 incidents were analyzed -- roughly 60 per officer. About two-thirds involved pedestrians, and one-third motorists.
Six racial categories were listed on the contact cards: white, black, Asian, South Asian, aboriginal or "other." Blacks, who comprise less than 1 per cent of Kingston's population, were 3.7 times more likely than whites to be stopped and questioned, the study found.
But while Asians and South Asians comprise 2.5 and 1.3 per cent of Kingston's population, according to 2001 census figures, they only accounted for 1 per cent and 0.9 per cent of the police checks.

Q: It's Possible to change default selection color in UITextField iOS? Default selection color is blue as  - I required to change it clear color?

I know If I change tint color then that color will be set when I select ant text but my question When I set clear color as tint color then there should be no color displaying for selection of text but It is taking gray color as default.

if It is posiible then How? and please provide source code.
This is what happens when tint color is blue

if i set tintColor = clear color than display gray color.
This happens when tint color is set as clear color, its taking gray color as default that I dont want
textField.tintColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Please help me.
Thanks in advance!!!

A: Its not possible because if you change the cursor color to clear it will not show you the selected text so you have to pick some color for this. You can use a color wchich is very close to transparent by giving its RGB value.
Use below line of code
 textfield.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:255.0/255.0 alpha:1.0];

It will look like this

A: Change tint color of the text field.

Bloomberg Soda Ban: It's Back and Better Than Ever (in Mexico)
By Kara Freedman
As income per capita rises across the developing world, health experts are seeing a huge rise in obesity rates, even in poorer countries. Mexico, whose consumption of sugary drinks per capita is the highest in the world, is a perfect example of this scary trend. While NGOs and governments are working to fight against world poverty and hunger, obesity and diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes are becoming increasingly common, causing a world health crisis in countries that are least equipped to fight it.
With a 32.8% obesity rate, Mexico has passed the United States and is now the most overweight country in the Americas, according to an article in the Huffington Post. An in-depth report from Al Jazeera argues that a changing diet is the highest contributing factor to the rising weight of Mexican schoolchildren and adults, as GDP per capita increases but the amount of healthy eating options does not.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City, one of the richest places in the world, tried to implement a tax on sugary drinks that was meant to curb the heavy consumption of sodas and other sugary drinks that are contributing to the obesity epidemic. His effort was blocked in court. So why is he now turning his effort to Mexico, a country where the obesity problem seems to be even greater?
In fact, in Mexico, where advertising dollars come almost exclusively from the biggest international conglomerates, including producers of sodas and other sugary drinks, a large grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies may be the key to creating a fair fight for consumer advocates and health care activists who are looking to reduce the threat to public health that one sees every day across Mexico.
While soft drinks have become increasingly popular the world over, companies such as Coca Cola have had such a successful campaign in Mexico that sodas are a part of even the most intimate of family rituals.
Joaquín Praxedis Quesada, an anthropologist who works for the Mexico City government, speaks to the incorporation of these unhealthy drinks in every aspect of Mexican lives. "There are tamales, cookies, seasonal fruit — and a soft drink," he said of traditional family burials. "When a culture integrates soft drinks into the most sacred, which is its relationship with its ancestors, then they are part of its identity."
One researcher in the Health Economy department of Mexico's National Institute of Public Health estimated that a 10% tax would reduce sugary drink consumption by 10 to 13%, according to the New York Times. Although some argue that the tax will simply encourage the consumption of homemade sugary drinks, the Institute of Public Health believes that more families will turn to water or milk as substitutes for soda, which will have an impact on overall obesity in the country.
"We're a country of malnourished fatsos," José Antonio Álvarez Lima, a former state governor turned newspaper columnist told Mexican political news website Animal Politico. In many families where the adults are overweight or obese, researchers have also found undernourished children. This dichotomy comes from the lack of choice of available food as well as the proliferation of candy and highly processed snacks that are ubiquitous on the streets of Mexico City and the country as a whole. Moreover, in some rural areas it is easier to find a soft drink than potable water.
Late last Thursday, the lower house of congress in Mexico passed the tax that Bloomberg Philanthropies is supporting wholeheartedly. The tax will be 5% on packaged items that typically contain high calorie counts but low nutritional value, as well as an $0.08 tax on each liter of a sugary drink. Although the Senate is widely expected to pass the tax as well, the international companies that sell these products will put up a big fight in Mexico City to combat the new policy.
"This appears to be the most aggressive strategy anywhere in the world in recent years to improve diets via tax disincentives," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C.
In the end, with or without Bloomberg Philanthropies or Bloomberg's money and influence, it is impossible to deny that the proliferation of soft drinks across the world, especially as incomes rise and global inequality increases, has a serious negative impact on global health. I do not know whether or not a tax on these beverages will have an impact on health and obesity rates in Mexico, but I hope that we can find some solution for both malnutrition and obesity — and fast.

McCleary, Supreme Court and Legislature (Oh, and Randy Dorn)
Seems everyone wants to weigh in on what "work" the Legislature got done on McCleary. I was at an event on Saturday where Speaker Frank Chopp made it sound like much got done.
The place to read most responses is the Washington State Courts website. You can read:
Attorney General Bob Ferguson's response
Plaintiffs' response (the actual McClearys)
Additionally, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn also put out a statement (partial here):
"Every elected official, including me, is required to take an oath of office," Dorn said. "Part of that oath is, 'I do solemnly swear that I will support … the Constitution and laws of the state of Washington.'
"Many people don't understand that our state constitution explicitly mentions one — and only one — paramount duty: that the state 'make ample provision for the education of all children residing within its borders,' and that the system of public schools shall be general and uniform.
"The most recent budget passed by the Legislature doesn't even come close to that. In fact, it
increases the state's dependence on local levies, which the Court has ruled is unconstitutional."
A random survey of 12 districts highlights the problem. State funding for school personnel is less than those employees' actual salaries. As an example, the state allocated an average of $31,865 per classified employee in the Bellingham School District for 2014–15. But the district paid, on average, $45,119 for each position. That means the district had to make up the difference by paying the additional $13,254, using local levies.
The problem is compounded by the 2015–17 operating budget. The three percent cost-of-living adjustment that legislators approved applies only to the state-funded portion of each employee's salary. In 2015–16, Bellingham will have to pay an additional $13,651 per classified position ($13,254 times 103 percent).
"Some districts can pass levies a lot more easily than others," Dorn said. "This is leading to a situation of haves versus have-nots. In other words, some districts are getting a 21st century education, while others are still getting a 20th century education.
"That's why I'm calling for all 147 legislators to come back together to work on their paramount duty and produce a general and uniform system."

'The time for this Court to act is now'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEWS filed a brief with the Washington State Supreme Court today showing that the Legislature has failed to comply with the Court's orders to show "steady, real and measurable progress" in fully and amply funding K-12 public education. NEWS urged, "The time for this Court to act is now."
NEWS asked the Court, which held the State in contempt last year, to impose sanctions to compel the State to act.
"The State's ongoing violation of its paramount education funding duty - and of Washington children's corresponding paramount constitutional right - has been continuing for far too long. Plaintiffs therefore respectfully submit that the time has come for this Court to make what some would call a 'fish or cut bait' decision. Either stand up and enforce Washington schoolchildren's positive constitutional right to an amply funded education, or sit down and confess it was only kidding when it assured Washington schoolchildren that this Court would vigilantly protect them from the government's violation of their constitutional rights."
PLAINTIFF/RESPONDENTS'
POST-BUDGET FILING
OSPI is suggesting the Court shut down the schools. Wow.
The court website link Melissa provided allows reading of the documents filed July 27. Plantiff / Respondents' filing is greatly different than the Attorney General's filing.
AG states:
The State also is making progress toward completing the final task remaining from the Court's 2012 decision: paying for basic education salaries entirely with state funds rather than partly with local excess levies. This is the most contentious of the requirements the Court identified. It will require the Legislature not only to choose how to come up with the money—through taxation, revenue growth, cutting other programs, transferring taxing authority, or some combination of these options—but also to make difficult policy decisions such as establishing limits on raising and using local levies and determining whether staff salaries should vary based on local market forces. There are no easy solutions to these questions; indeed, even local school district officials, teachers, and others in the education community—many of whom are members of Respondents' coalition in this lawsuit—disagree as to the proper approach. But three things are clear:
(1) these are quintessentially legislative choices;
(2) the 2015 Legislature took important steps towards resolving them; and
(3) sufficient time remains before this Court's 2018 deadline for the Legislature to reach agreement. The Court should not dictate these fundamental policy choices.
Last September the Court held the State in contempt for failing to submit a plan explaining how the State would achieve constitutional compliance by 2018. Although work remains to be done, the 2015 Legislature's actions move the State closer to ultimate constitutional compliance than any written plan would have done, and continuing to demand a plan at this point would serve no useful purpose. The contempt order should be dissolved.
The AG points out that a huge task remains unresolved, yet expects the court to believe sufficient progress has been made thus far. ... That seems like a hard sell.
As long as legislators from low income, rural districts can influence pay rates on the more prosperous "Wet" side, I am not holding my breath.

Kamil Ťoupal (* 28. April 1973 in České Budějovice, Tschechoslowakei) ist ein ehemaliger deutsch-tschechischer Eishockeyspieler, der zwischen 1999 und 2013 ausschließlich beim EV Landshut unter Vertrag stand.

Karriere
Kamil Ťoupal begann seine Karriere in den Nachwuchsmannschaften des HC České Budějovice, für den er in der Spielzeit 1990/91 seine ersten Einsätze in der ersten tschechoslowakischen Liga hatte. Er spielte bis 1994 für seinen Heimatverein, bevor er vor der Saison 1994/95 zum Ligakonkurrenten HC Pardubice wechselte. Er absolvierte allerdings nur 22 Extraliga-Partien für Pardubice und entschied sich zu einem Wechsel ins europäische Ausland. Er unterschrieb beim niederländischen Erstligisten Eindhoven Kemphanen und kam 15 Mal zum Einsatz. Im Sommer 1995 wechselte er zurück zu seinem Heimatverein, für den er bis 1999 spielte.

Nach dem Abstieg der Landshut Cannibals 1999 begann ein Neuaufbau der Mannschaft für die Oberliga, für die Kamil Ťoupal verpflichtet wurde. Seit diesem Zeitpunkt spielte Ťoupal ununterbrochen für die Cannibals und erhielt 2006 seinen deutschen Pass.

In der Spielzeit 2001/02 gelang der Aufstieg der Cannibals in die 2. Bundesliga, in der der Verein seitdem spielt. Am Ende der Saison 2003/04 stand er mit seiner Mannschaft im Playoff-Finale der 2. Bundesliga gegen die Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg, wobei er sich schwer verletzte. Ťoupal schlug mit dem Kopf auf das Eis und erlitt einen Schädelbasisbruch.

Im Jahr 2004 wurde er zum Kapitän der Mannschaft gewählt. In der Saison 2007/08 stand Ťoupal im Halbfinale der Play-Offs gegen die Heilbronner Falken, die mit 4:0 Spielen besiegt wurden. Im Play-Off Finale konnte die Mannschaft allerdings nicht gegen die Kassel Huskies bestehen, die damit den Meistertitel und den sportlichen Aufstieg in die Deutsche Eishockey Liga feiern konnten. In der Spielzeit 2011/12 führte der Verteidiger die Kannibalen nach Sweeps gegen die Hannover Indians und den EV Ravensburg sowie einem umkämpften Finale gegen die Starbulls Rosenheim zur Zweitligameisterschaft.

Nach der Saison 2012/13 beendete er seine Karriere im Alter von 40 Jahren. Insgesamt absolvierte Ťoupal 790 Spiele für den EV Landshut und erreichte dabei 586 Scorerpunkte. Aufgrund seiner Verdienste für den Verein wurde er mit einem Abschiedsspiel verabschiedet.

The Dawn Wall | Teaser Trailer
►Coming 2018!
In January, 2015, American rock climbers Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson captivated the world with their effort to climb The Dawn Wall, a seemingly impossible 3,000 foot rock face in Yosemite National Park, California. The pair lived on the sheer vertical cliff for weeks, igniting a frenzy of global media attention. But for Tommy Caldwell, The Dawn Wall was much more than just a climb. It was the culmination of a lifetime defined by overcoming obstacles. At the age of 22, the climbing prodigy was taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan. Shortly after, he lost his index finger in an accident, but resolved to come back stronger. When his marriage fell apart, he escaped the pain by fixating on the extraordinary goal of free climbing The Dawn Wall. Blurring the line between dedication and obsession, Caldwell and his partner Jorgeson spend six years meticulously plotting and practicing their route. On the final attempt, with the world watching, Caldwell is faced with a moment of truth. Should he abandon his partner to fulfill his ultimate dream, or risk his own success for the sake of their friendship?

Latinized form of Greek Nikodēmos, from nikē "victory" (see Nike) + dēmos "people" (see demotic). In the New Testament, a member of the Sanhedrim who visited Jesus by night as an inquirer. After the death of Jesus he contributed aloes and myrrh for anointing the dead. Related: Nicodemical.
Entries linking to Nicodemus
Greek goddess of victory (identified by the Romans with their Victoria), literally "victory, upper hand" (in battle, in contests, in court), probably connected with neikos "quarrel, strife," neikein "to quarrel with," a word of uncertain etymology and perhaps a pre-Greek word. As the name of a type of U.S. defensive surface-to-air missiles, attested from 1952. The brand of athletic shoes and apparel, based near Portland, Oregon, has been so known since 1971, named for the Greek goddess, having been founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports.
demotic (adj.)
"of or belonging to the people," especially "pertaining to the common people, popular, vulgar," 1822, from Latinized form of Greek dēmotikos "of or for the common people, in common use," from dēmos "common people," originally "district," from PIE *da-mo- "division," from root *da- "to divide." Originally in English it was used in reference to the simpler of two forms of ancient Egyptian writing (opposed to hieratic or hieroglyphic); the broader sense is by 1831. Used of the popular form of modern Greek since 1927.

Online finals: Providing flexibility & opportunities for creativity
By Ileana M. Rodríguez-Silva, History
For HSTLAC 289: The Cuban Revolutionary Experiment, I initially planned to offer a final exam, similar to the mid-term, but changed my mind. Instead, I asked my 26 students to do a final assignment.
The final assignment prompted students to pretend to be a TA for an upcoming study abroad program taking a group of Environmental Studies undergraduates to Cuba for two weeks. Because students had more autonomy for this assignment, they engaged with the material differently.
Teaching Spanish: A multi-day "finale" instead of a final exam
By Samuel Jaffee, Spanish & Portuguese Studies
This spring quarter I'm teaching Spanish 302 and Spanish 303, both of which guide students in developing writing strategies in Spanish (creative fiction, business letters, reportage, argument and counterargument, and literary and visual analysis). In lieu of a final exam, both classes will enjoy a multi-day "finale."

Although it took more a lot longer to actually get around to making the change than I had planned on … I have finally switched Internet providers.
Previously I was using Covad for the midrange.com Internet service and AT&T for personal Internet service.
The Covad service was 1mb SDSL (1mb down / 1mb up with 5 static IP addresses) and the AT&T service was 6mb down & 768k up (ADSL).
The new service, provided by Comcast, is 22mb down / 5mb up and includes 13 static IP addresses. It's replacing both the Covad and AT&T service.
In addition to the improved speed, I'll be saving about $50 / month in cost.

For the past few weeks we've had a lot of static & interference on our home phone line … it doesn't effect the Vonage line, so I figured it was coming from outside the house.
Well, it turns out the 'NID Splitter' we have in the phone box is giving out. A NID Splitter is a device that plugs into the Network Interface Device that acts as a DSL filter for all the inside phone wiring. A NID is the box where the telephone companies wiring interfaces with the house wiring. Everything on the 'Customer' side of the NID is is your responsibility, anything on the other side of the NID is the telephone companies responsiblity.
It's called a NID Splitter because it lets you split the phone line signal into two parts … one part that goes directly to the DSL modem, and the other half that goes to the house phone wiring. The NID Splitter filters out the voice data on the phone line so it doesn't interfere with the DSL signal.

From there, we'll head out at 4:00pm to hike the trail together to see the ruins of the historic mill, which was burned during the Civil War. We'll enjoy dinner, a devotional and a special craft for all ages. As with all state parks, there is a small parking fee of $5 per vehicle, so please plan for that. Renew your spirit at the beginning of fall with the loveliness of God's creation! Please sign up in the main hallway or contact the church office. We suggest bringing bug spray and comfy camp chair!

SOAP superstar Joan Collins is divorcing her fourth husband Peter Holm on the grounds of "fraud", it was revealed last night.
The Dynasty beauty lodged the shock court papers in Los Angeles's superior court just 13 months after she wed the Swedish businessman.
Joan, 52, claims the couple can no longer live together because of "irreconcilable differences" and asks for the marriage to be declared null and void on the basis of "fraud".
There were no details of her allegations in the court papers and she was unavailable for comment. According to the four-page document, she and Holm separated six days ago.
The British actress married 38-year-old Holm in Las Vegas on November 6 last year.
Since then, she has said that she has put most of her financial and business dealings in his hands.
Joan was believed to be filming on the set of Dynasty yesterday. Holm's whereabouts were unknown.
The star's 84-year-old father, Joe Collins, hated Holm the second he set eyes on him - and has never changed his mind since.
He regarded the blond Swede as a moneydigger and made no bones about his dislike.
When The Sun told him of the divorce, he said "Call that bad news. I don't, I call that very good news myself.
"Its true that we never did get on. Everyone knows I thought Joan could have made a much better choice.
"You'd have thought she would realise it, too, after three marriages, wouldn't you?"
