Should You Be Removing Dead Branches from Your Trees?
Is it worth all that effort to trim those dead branches off of your trees? Let's find out.
The weight of winter snows and icicles is quickly approaching, and it's important to get any tree maintenance crossed off your to-do list soon. Pruning your trees is one of the best ways to ensure that they are healthy and keep your family safe. Removing dead branches is essential before winter arrives!
Dead branches are a gigantic safety hazard for your home and your family. If your trees have dead branches on them, the weight of winter snow and ice could cause them to collapse and fall on your yard, your home, or your family. Dead branch removal also gives a tree expert from Harford Tree the chance to inspect every tree on your property and identify any other problems with them, like diseases. Keep in mind that mature trees on your property can weigh a phenomenal amount (well over 5 tons). If the tree is dead or has dead branches, the entire weight of them falling on your property will do a huge amount of damage.
Keeping your trees in good health is very important. While many diseases will take years to actually kill a tree, there are often many different treatments they can receive to reverse or fix the problem in the meantime. By catching problems before they turn into bigger problems, you will save money and prevent potential disasters from happening.
Beautiful trees are trees that are healthy and well trimmed. If you don't maintain the trees around your home with regular pruning and dead branch removal, your property value can be lowered. If you are planning on listing your home in the future, the cost of improperly maintained trees can actually detract from the listing price!

Property developer Italpinas Development Corp., the fifth company to go public this year, is expected to trek higher when it debuts on the Small, Medium and Emerging Board of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) today, as a strong local investor base supports the stock amid sluggish market conditions.
"I think Italpinas is too small to affect the stock market. There is interest in the shares given the lack of supply that may drive its share price higher on listing day," Alexander Adrian O. Tiu, senior equity analyst at AB Capital Securities, Inc., said in a phone interview.

Alam Aksara
Providing Educational Opportunities for Indonesian Students
The main function of Alam Aksara is to pair up individual Indonesian students in need with sponsors in any country who are willing to support the students' education. Sponsoring a student can cost as little as US$9.50 a month, and 100 percent of a sponsor's contribution goes to the student (see Costs).
What is a sponsor required to do?
Beyond providing scholarship funds, nothing.
What do sponsors receive in return, beyond the satisfaction of helping a deserving student to get an education?
Sponsors are sent quarterly reports providing a breakdown of how the contribution is spent (tuition, transportation, books, uniforms, etc.), but in order to keep costs to a minimum, no other services (translation of correspondence between students and sponsors, for instance) are provided. This may sound a bit cold and businesslike, but we prefer to direct funds to the students in need rather than using them for anything else.
Is a sponsorship an open-ended commitment?
No. A sponsor can withdraw at any time, although we do appreciate advance warning when this is going to happen so as to have time to find another sponsor to take over the scholarship. As a student advances through school, costs do tend to rise. We notify sponsors of their students' needs for the coming school year (which runs from July to June) as soon as the information reaches us, at which point the sponsor can make a decision as to whether to continue. Some sponsors commit at the outset to supporting a student until graduation from a particular level of schooling. Others prefer to take it a year at a time.
How much of a sponsor's contribution is used to cover administrative costs?
Zero. One hundred percent of the aid provided by the sponsors goes to the students. We make every effort to hold expenses to an absolute minimum, and the organizers cover administrative costs out of their own pockets or through the occasional contribution made specifically for such costs.
What sort of costs does a sponsor's contribution cover?
The aid provided by the sponsors goes primarily to pay the following: tuition and other school fees, transportation, books, school supplies, uniforms, and other school-related expenses. For many students, the largest single cost is transportation to and from school.
How is a sponsor's contribution passed on to the student?
Local coordinators generally pay out the money directly to each student in small installments, at which time the coordinators check up on the student's progress and wellbeing. In some cases, tuition is paid directly to the school.
Can sponsors choose which student they wish to support?
Absolutely. When scholarship candidates become available, those who have expressed an interest in sponsoring a student receive an email describing the students, their family situations and the costs involved in sponsoring them. Potential sponsors can then decide whether to proceed and which student they would like to sponsor.
I'm interested in sponsoring a student. What should I do to get started? If you might be interested in sponsoring a student, please let us know through the Contact Us page. We are currently working to increase the number of on-site coordinators so as to be able to identify additional deserving students in need. We will be in touch by email as candidates become available.

What does a Senior Graphic Designer do?
C. Mitchell
Most visual branding media, from icons and logos to advertising layout, is the product of a graphic designer. Graphic design professionals work to connect words and images in a variety of media. The position of senior graphic designer is typically reserved for someone who either leads a graphic design group in a company, or someone who has been working as a graphic designer for an extended period of time. Most of the time, senior graphic designers are managers or mid-level executives who spend about as much of their days supervising and executing as they do in actually designing.
A graphic designer is typically expected to be familiar with color theory.
The work that graphic designers do is broad and wide ranging, so it is fitting that the precise senior graphic designer job description is difficult to nail down. Generally speaking, the senior graphic designer is the head of his or her graphic design department, and is responsible for most matters of design, from conception to implementation and release. The senior is often also charged with training and mentoring more junior team members.
Graphic artists may manipulate images, such as changing or adding colors to a photo, for advertisements, marketing or other artwork.
Traditionally, graphic design was done within advertising and marketing departments. Graphic designers were pen-and-paper artists who could put advertising agents' ideas into existence. They also created brochures, presentation materials, and any other documents requiring a merging of picture and word.
As computers and digital design technology advanced, so did the practice of graphic design. Most graphic design tasks in the modern day are carried out by computer, and senior graphic designer jobs have adapted accordingly. Software suites geared specifically to photo and graphic design are prevalent on the market, and give artists the ability to quickly generate and display many different templates of the same idea. Most of the graphic design tasks are the same as in the days of pen and paper, but new tasks, such as web page design, have also entered the fold.
Senior graphic designers can work within graphic design firms, or on in-house graphic design teams. The senior graphic designer duties are different depending on setting. In a firm that exists independently, much of the senior's job may be devoted to bringing in new clients and selling the team's portfolio to companies looking for design services. For clients that are retained, the senior will usually act as the point person for the project and will often be responsible for the delivery of the finished products.
Things are different in an in-house graphic design setting. Many larger companies have their own graphic design teams that handle the company's visual presentation and advertising needs. A senior graphic designer in this kind of environment usually focuses on leading and managing. There are not often more than a handful of senior designers on a corporate team. Their goals are usually product- and results-based, and they often do market research to generate ideas and data for making graphic design schemes more effective.
Senior graphic designer responsibilities really depend on the size of the graphic design team and the tasks and needs of the department. In all cases, though, the senior designer is someone with a lot of design experience and expertise. Senior designers may be researchers, marketers, and managers, but deep down, they are also artists.
Digital tablets may be an ideal tool for a graphic designer.

Which one was gronk drinking?
I never figured that one out! But for sure it was a big wine for that big man!
Gorgeous wine - absolutely love it!
I buy a lot of daily drinkers which cost between $32-$40.
Then I go where I want for some special stuff, in the $100-150 range. Problem is, I look at them as I do my daily drinkers. And so it goes.
Put me on the list, please.
I won't order because I don't eat frozen meat. So surprised everyone here does.

That is what my table grapevine looks like. Guess I need to venture out to check out the Cabernet. The table grapevine is closest to the house, and is always the first to show budbreak.
Don't have any; don't use any. Takes the "sexiness" out of wine consumption.
I was just out in the vineyard and noticed that my one vine of Thompson Seedless table grapes have popped some buds. Time to keep and eye on the Cabernet.

Re: Any reviews on ACME, 750, or K Laz in Napa for tastings?
You can't go wrong with any of these 3. All have excellent reputations and have been in the business for a long time.
As long as your desires are not for Napa Cabernets! Just responding to the Original Post.
I got some email releases for 2017's this week from Quivet and Vice Versa. How bad is the vintage? I haven't seen many reviews.
That's quite the inviting question you ask...really makes growers and winemakers want to jump right on to answer such a negatively posed "question."
Will all this weather push budbreak back this year?
Can't tell. To my knowledge the rain has nothing to do with the timing of budbreak. Temperature is what will drive it.
Let us see what is in store for us.
6 bottles Roederer 2012 Rose. Had a bottle around Valentine's day, and ordered 6 more, pronto.
I can confirm that is good stuff.
I was given 2 bottles: one was the 2009 (non-rose) and this 2012 Rose. A world of difference - I thought the 2012 was special.
Scratch that. It is now raining again - lightly but steadily. There will be no drought conditions in my area this summer!

It can be frustrating when you find out that you are one of the people prone to pimples. Zits can be the cause of much frustration and embarrassment, but it's not the end of the world if you know what to do. This article contains a number of tips that will help you deal with this skin condition.
Try wearing water based make-up or no makeup for awhile and see if that has any affect on your pimples. It is tempting to try and hide zits under layers of make-up, but it will only clog your pores and make the situation worse.Staying away from makeup all together is the problem.
Getting some sun can actually help to clear up an pimples breakout. The oil in your skin dry up under the sun. You may notice that the zits gets worse at first, as your skin's oils will begin rising to the surface.
Frequently washing your linens can have a remarkably beneficial effect for your pimples problems. These oils may get on your pillowcases and sheets. They can then transfer back to your skin. Wash your linens often to stop this transfer loop.
Garlic works to remove toxins in your body which opens the door for new skin. You can incorporate garlic into your diet through garlic salt or taking garlic supplements.
Zinc is a good supplement to take for zits; it has properties in controlling free radicals under your skin's surface. Cystic acne sufferers interested in lessening facial lumpiness should take zinc supplements each day.
You may be tempted to pick at or scratch your face, but spreading the oil and dirt from your fingers onto your skin is a bad idea. The dirt gets trapped in the pores and inflammation that can lead to breakouts.
Be sure to consume sufficient water each day. It is suggested that most people need to drink between six and eight glasses of water a day. These cells can clog your pores which will cause more zits.
Spot treatments are the best choice for treating small acne breakouts. This gives medication to only the spot that needs it will be affected. Look for treatments containing salicylic acid, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.There are a number of homeopathic remedies available online.
Dehydration occurs when there is an insufficient water intake. Dehydration directly affects pimples problems because the skin has difficulty getting rid of dead cells properly when it is starved for water. The dead cells can lead to flare ups if they clog up pores.
At this point, you should realize that an effective acne treatment requires a sound base of knowledge. If you have correct information, your problem associated to zits will be easier to handle.

Free range eggs: more than size of the range
CSU expert in poultry behaviour and welfare Dr Raf Freire is calling for the new standard for free range egg production to consider more than the number of hens per hectare on the open range.
Charles Sturt University (CSU) expert in poultry behaviour and welfare Dr Raf Freire is calling for the new standard for free range egg production to consider more than the number of hens per hectare on the open range.
Australia's consumer affairs ministers have agreed to develop a national, enforceable standard defining what can be labelled as free range eggs.
While much attention has focused on defining free range in terms of stocking density on the range, Dr Freire, from CSU's School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, believes this is missing the point.
He said there are more important reasons why many birds in free-range systems never venture out onto the open range.
"One of these is the actual ability of hens to get out of the sheds," said Dr Freire. "In large groups of hens and in big sheds, hens are not able to reach the pop-holes, the exit to the range, and so never venture outside.
"Clearly, the number of pop-holes and their width are critical factors in influencing whether hens are able to get out of the sheds, and recent research indicates that there should be no more than 200 birds per metre of pop-hole.
"This is very rare in large sheds and even the code of practice is above this figure, recommending 500 birds per metre of pop-hole."
Dr Freire has been reviewing research from around the world and said flock size, shed size, design of the system and amount of overhead cover on the range all contribute to whether hens will roam on a range.
"Overhead cover is the most critical aspect enticing birds to roam once on the range and move further away from the house," he said.
"Hens rely on trees and other overhead cover for protection from predatory birds and are likely to find large open areas with few birds aversive.
"For this reason, focussing on the stocking density on the range is unlikely to tackle the issue of whether hens are able to roam freely on the range"
Contrary to some views, Dr Freire believes consumers have a clear idea of what should constitute free-range.
"Overseas surveys of consumers indicate that consumers are clear as to what they expect free-range to mean. Simply, they expect hens to move around on an open range every day," he said. Freire.
Dr Freire and researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom have been invited to submit a review on the issue for the World Poultry Science Journal.
Dr Freire is also a member of the Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation. Read more about his research into the welfare of layer hens here.

Albion S. Towle
Albion Towle was born in 1863 in Venzie, Maine. He came to Skagway in 1898 from Snohomish Washington where he had a shingle business. He was a hotelier at Lake Bennett, when he died on this day, March 31, 1898. He was a member of the order of foresters, AOUW and so was shipped home to Snohomish to be buried. This from the online obit:
"…Mr. Towle wanted to go in but did not get away until last January. He went to Skagway and in February sent for his wife. They then started over the pass for Lake Bennet, where they opened a log cabin hotel, and were doing well financially, until early in the morning of March 24th, Mr. Towle was suddenly taken very sick with puenmonia, and in less than an hour was delirous, never again wholly recoving consciouness.
The folling Sunday morning Mrs. Towle secured a sled and dog team, and with the assistance of one man, started with her husband for medical aid at Skagway. She walked bside the sled, watching over him and keeping his face and hands from freezing, while passing through the fearful cold part of the journey at the summit.
They arrived in Skagway at nine o'clock at night and Mr. Towle was placed in the hospital. During the entire trip from morning till night walking thirty-seven miles, Mrs. Towle did not take a particle of nourishment, and this with her anxiety for her husband and the fathigue of the long hard climb, was too much for her, and after she had secured his comfort, she completely collapsed, and was herself prostrate until after arriving in Snohomish. The Snohomish boys at Skagway immediately came to her service, and everything possible was done for Mr. Towle, but on the following Thursday he succumbed to the disease.
The body was brought back to Seattle on the first steamer, and Messrs. M.J. Bird and James Sipprell accompanied the beraved widow and her dead through from the north and take the body was laid to rest in Woodlwan cemetery. Mrs. Towle and the bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement."
The symbol above is for the Ancient Order of United Workmen:
"The American fraternal benefit network began with the organization the Ancient Order of United Workmen in Meadville, Pennsylvania on October 27, 1868. The AOUW was founded by John Jordan Upchurch, a Mason, with the aim of adjusting "all differences which may arise between employers and employees, and to labor for the development of a plan of action that may be beneficial to both parties, based on the eternal truth that the interests of labor and capitol are equal and should receive equal protection." Each member paid $1 into the insurance fund to cover the sum of not less than $500 in benefits paid to a members dependents when he died. Each time a member died, $1 was due from the surviving members to reestablish the fund. Fraternal benefits societies soon became quite popular as a means of providing financial protection to working class people at an affordable rate."

Q: How to add Multiple cron job using php? What i try to do >
1.User visit my PHP base Page
2.My page collect its data
3.Add cron job using PHP (Q1.How to add Cron job using PHP? )
(this type of cron job command currently i am using ""/usr/bin/wget myweb.org/some_directory/file.php?uid=2738 >/dev/null""
4.Cron job runs a above URL and do a task with user id which takes almost 1 hour + time (Q2. Is it possible to run job at the same time or after one minute if possible how)
5.If another user visit the page on the same time above procedure is also happen for them too (Q3.So this is possible)

A: Sounds to me that what you need is not a cron job but a background worker process. Cron jobs are jobs that are run at a specific automated time (such as 2:30 PM every day), not every time a user visits your page which could be whenever.
In order to instantiate background worker processes, I strongly recommend using Pheanstalk. Check out the readme to see how to instantiate a worker process, it's pretty easy.

Haden Freeman excel in engineering and design. Quite simply, there's nothing we like more than a challenge. Whatever the area – process, electrical, instrumentation, control systems, mechanical, piping, civil or structural – our team will apply their capabilities to a range of business issues. We have an unrivalled reputation for excellence and quality.
Our validation services team ensures there is documented evidence that helps our clients with everything from the initial user requirement through the specification, design and testing phases to the final qualification reporting. Our consulting engineers provide expert advice that is ideal for troubleshooting and understanding the cost-benefit balance in design.
Typical assignments undertaken include chemical reactor relief, heat and mass balance with reaction / separation / heat transfer, modular process plant, modular pharmaceutical laboratories and plant, commissioning and validation services.
Excellence in engineering and design lies at the root of everything we do at Haden Freeman. It is, and always will be, our core skill. It is the platform upon which all our other services are built and exactly what has shaped our reputation for quality. We believe that getting the basics right is obligatory.
An integral part of turnkey packages, Haden Freeman offers independent Construction Design Management Consultancy, including the provision of the newly created role of Principal Designer to offer support to clients to ensure that all aspects of safety are fully considered. Interaction with our clients and, where applicable, their contractors, is imperative to ensuring that projects are delivered safely and meet the requirements for safe operability. Typical CDM-C projects include demolition, dismantling, relocation, new build, and retro installation within the chemical, pharmaceutical, processing and manufacturing industries.
The safety team also provides support to all disciplines employed within the Company and maintains a comprehensive Health and Safety Management System. Haden Freeman has a registered Health and Safety Practitioner and can offer independent safety advice to clients on all aspects of engineering and manufacturing.
The changes in the CDM regulations, which came into effect on 6 April 2015, made three important changes to the original 2007 regulations whilst also extending their coverage to domestic construction and Facilities Management.
Probably the most important of these changes replace the CDM Coordinator, a role often previously seen as more bureaucratic than design-driven, with a Principal Designer who will be responsible for all aspects of the design stage. Safety is therefore designed into any project with this integral member of the team advising on not only all aspects of the project but also co-ordinating with client.
The second change recognises the influence and importance of the client as final decision maker and places the responsibility of these decisions firmly back with the client whilst the third change introduces a new definition of competence which is described as skills, knowledge, training and experience and, if it relates to an organisation, organisational capability.
The chemical and other process engineering industries will be affected by these changes by having to introduce a suitably qualified and competent Principal Designer right at the start of any project. Clients now have the ultimate CDM responsibility for the safety of their project, irrelevant of whether their chosen design or construction team have this capability or experience and can provide this service. As a result, it is THEIR responsibility to source and appoint a suitably qualified Principal Designer to perform this legal requirement.
Haden Freeman fulfil this role for many clients as we have a sound track record of working on CDM notifiable projects in Principle Contractor, Designer and CDM Co-ordinator roles. Some are for in-house projects where we work with the client's in-house team whilst others involve taking the role and working with other design and construction teams. At the end of the day, as long as there is a suitably qualified and competent Principal Designer, the legal requirement will be satisfied.
The Haden Freeman project team is made up of multi skilled professionals with direct experience from the manufacturing, design and process industries. Dependent upon the individual requirements of our clients, we use various FEED (front end engineering design) methods ensuring strong project management principles are utilised for a smooth transition through each project stage.
Our project reporting methods are easily adapted for EPC / EPCM requirements and we ensure that all project requirements including time schedules and budgets are met. We use our own in house project risk assessment processes to enable us to identify and address any risks early on in the project.
We deliver projects using the gating / stage process or we can 'fast track' these stages using our own methods of identification of deliverables and early risk prediction. We are able to work on various areas of the project in tandem to secure a predictable project execution. These streamlined processes enable us to provide cost-effective and successful project management and implementation.
Could your plant be dangerous to people or the environment?
Have you assessed the risks?
Are your safety systems up to the task?
Haden Freeman is aware that functional safety can only be determined by considering the system as a whole and the environment with which it interacts.
Haden Freeman utilises tried and trusted systems to ensure your compliance with IEC61508 and 61511 and our TUV certified engineers can help with all your safety life-cycle needs.
We can undertake functional safety design and validation on any new projects along with determining the appropriate measures for compliance for existing plants.
Haden Freeman Limited (HFL) is part of The Haden Freeman Group. The Group is comprised of a number of complementary specialist companies providing an inclusive approach to tackling a range of business and organisational challenges.
We are focused on delivering exceptional projects and services to our clients, utilising a diverse range of skills and industry expertise.

ISWAP Fighters Bury 77 Terrorists Killed By Military Bombardments At Marte
After sustained aerial bombardments and elimination of terrorists, surviving fighters of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) have buried no fewer than 77 members in Marte axis.
The terrorists, were eliminated in coordinated air strikes by the Nigerian military on three camps of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), in the fringes of Lake Chad.
over a dozen guntrucks and several motorbikes were destroyed during the offensive.
According to a top military intelligence source, who was involved in the operation, Super Tucano aircrafts and other platforms were deployed for the sustained attacks on the ISWAP fighters, affiliated to ISIS.
"The successful Nigerian Air Force aerial strikes, under Operation Hadin Kai, with support from troops of the Multi-National Joint Fast Force (MNJTF), was launched on December 19, 2021, at three locations harbouring hundreds of ISWAP terrorists at Arinna Sorro and Arinna Ciki and Arinna Maimasalaci in Marte Local Government Area in Borno.
"The operation which was conducted after Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, targeted hundreds of surviving adversaries who escaped from a previous attack on Kusuma and Sigir, by the Nigerian Military.
"There was already a credible intelligence that a large number of the terrorists have moved to those camps where they are treating their wounded fighters. It was also revealed that the areas were also used by ISWAP to concealed vehicles, MRAPs and motorcycles under thick trees.
Meanwhile, a local source confirmed to PRNigeria that at least 77 corpses of the terrorists were buried by surviving ISWAP members.
The source said: "Most of the terrorists met their waterloo, while few of them who survived after fleeing the area of the airstrikes, returned to pick the corpses of some of their commanders and members.
"The surving terrorists buried at least 77 corpses of their members on Monday at Tudun Giginya, located between Arena Chiki and Kwallaram, in the same Marte LGA.
"The few surviving ISWAP fighters have moved to Bukar Mairam and Yarwa Kura."

Ліцей Клодель, () — престижна франкомовна приватна школа у столиці  Канади, в місті Оттава. Школа надає французьку державну освіту на рівні середньої школи під наглядом . Ліцей названий на честь французького поета Поля Клоделя. У школі навчаються понад 1000 студентів від дошкільного віку до дванадцятого класу. По закінченню навчання студенти отримують французький бакалаврат і диплом середньої освіти провінції Онтаріо.
Базуючись на середньому балі випускників, ліцей Клодель посів перше місце в рейтингу серед майже 500 закордонних французьких шкіл.

Історія
Ліцей Клодель був заснований 1962 року за сприяння посольства Франції у Канаді за програмою французької державної середньої школи.

Протягом наступних одинадцяти років додавалися класи на різних рівнях. У 1974 році перші випускники закінчили навчання у школі. У теперішнє приміщення ліцей переїхав у 1972 році. Зараз студенти навчаються у приміщеннях, які обладнані на високому технічному рівні, у середовищі, що пропонує найвищу якість навчання.

Програма та рейтинг
Ліцей Клодель — це приватний навчальний заклад у провінції Онтаріо. Школа слідує програмі французької державної освіти на рівні середньої школи, під наглядом Агентства французької освіти за кордоном (AEFE) — всесвітньої мережі, що складається з 494 шкіл у 135 країнах. Загалом у мережі навчаються 330 000 студентів, серед них 125 000 — французької національності.

На кожному рівні ліцею, починаючи із дошкільного віку і закінчуючи дванадцятим класом, є три паралельних класи. В останніх класах студенти розділені у три потоки: L (література), ES (економіка і суспільство) і S (науки). Максимальна кількість студентів у одному класі — 30. Завдяки своєму розміщенню в столиці Канади, значна кількість студентів в ліцеї походить із сімей дипломатів. Загалом, вчаться студенти з 58 країн світу.

Ліцей Клодель має найвищий рейтинг серед закордонних французьких шкіл і постійно входить у десятку найсильніших шкіл у Північній Америці. Багато відомих особистостей навчалися в ліцеї, зокрема прем'єр-міністр Канади Джастін Трюдо.

Національний сертифікат (Diplôme national du brevet)
Наприкінці 3ème класу, коли студентам зазвичай від 14 до 15 років, іспит
 засвідчує набуття володіння загальною базою знань, умінь і культури.

Для присвоєння Національного сертифікату враховуються досягнутий кандидатом рівень володіння кожним із компонентів в чотирьох областей знань (від 80 до 400 балів) а також оцінки, отримані безпосередньо в іспитах під час експертизи (400 балів). Національний сертифікат присуджується кандидатам, які набрали загальну кількість не менше 400 балів з 800. Він може супроводжуватися відміткою «Досить добре», «Добре» або «Дуже добре», якщо кандидат отримує кількість балів відповідно вище 480, 560, 640.

Вартість навчання
Канадійський департамент закордонних справ повністю покриває оплату дітей своїх працівників. Діти 130-150 сімей із департаменту навчаються в ліцеї. Для інших ціна навчання залежить від того, у якому класі навчається студент. Станом на 2017 рік, оплата за навчання складає від $12 500 до $14 200 на рік на дитину. Збір на вступні іспити та реєстрацію близько $1000. Продовжений час у школі коштує ще $1 300 на рік. Багато батьків також замовляють обіди для своїх дітей за $1 100 на рік. Додаткові витрати пов`язані з різними гуртками, що пропонуються після школи.

Kevin Young discusses 'Bunk,' his new book on the history of American hoaxes
Kevin Young, author of "Bunk" Credit: Melanie Dunea
By Lisa Kennedy Special to Newsday Updated November 28, 2017 6:00 AM
Kevin Young was near the end of writing "Bunk" in June 2015 when Rachel Dolezal reared her permed head. The white president of Spokane's NAACP, who insisted she was black, owned the news cycle and set social media ablaze.
Young makes vital room for Dolezal in his cultural-historical reckoning of fakery. And "Bunk" is as jam-packed and timely, as compelling and cautionary as its full title promises: "Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News" (Graywolf, 560 pp., $30).
The author of 10 books of poetry and the erudite, electric "The Grey Album: On the Blackness of Blackness," Young is having quite a year. In November, he began his gig as The New Yorker's poetry editor. We reached him by phone in his office at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, where he is director.
Young's fluid comfort with poetry and research is on full display in a book that builds a case — from showman P.T. Barnum to American Indian charlatan Grey Owl and literary sham JT LeRoy — that the hoax, so American, has a long-standing relationship to race and often gender. Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
Where did this project begin?
Six years ago I was very curious about fake memoirs and the way people talked about them, often as if there was some blurry line between fact and fiction, when there really isn't. At the same time, those memoirs seemed to be about something more profound and in many ways more painful. What did the authors actually say that seemed believable and why? You see all these incidences of resorting to cliché, resorting to stereotypes, really, as I say, "plagiarizing the pain of others."
"Bunk" argues that American hoaxes have moved from a kind of pleasure to pain, to horror even.
At the turn of the 20th century, you see hoaxes become much more about trauma and these large social divisions that were always there. The hoax increasingly makes use of race.

In addition to James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" and Greg Mortenson's "Three Cups of Tea," you look at journalist fabricators Janet Cooke, Stephen Glass and Jayson Blair. Did these writers help set the table for so-called "fake news"?
One of the most troubling things about the term "fake news" is that it has become a force field against accusations you don't like. That's much more troubling than the fakery in these few cases — who were all caught.
There's a tension throughout the book between real bodies and appropriated ones.
The harm of the hoax isn't just the making up of these stories, which is bad enough, but they distract us from what's really important. I also think they detach us from empathy. They're substitutes for empathy. Or they say that the only way we can really be empathetic is to imagine a made-up black person in jeopardy. When Rachel Dolezal gets more TV time than real folks creating solutions to real problems, you start to wonder. At the same time, my other contention is that the hoax doesn't just damage facts, it also damages the imagination. We start to lose the sense of what creativity is like, what invention is like.
In a section on murderer Susan Smith — the South Carolina mother who claimed a "black male" had stolen the car with her two sons in it — you quote Cornelius Eady's poems. Is poetry less vulnerable to hoaxing?
There are two ways I think poetry is kind of immune to this. One, with poems there's not a lot of money necessarily in it. So there's that. And then there's also a broader, more interesting thing, which is there aren't really fiction and nonfiction poems. There's really just poetry, which relies on the force of language. Even if it's a true tale, it's obviously crafted and has imagination behind it.
You write about spirit photography — photos with alleged ghosts in them — as a way of introducing "pseudospirituality" What other examples fall under that rubric?
The idea of a fake mythology of Native American people. People pretending to be them and invoking made-up ideas about them — which are stereotypical and often involve their extinction. Someone like Grey Owl, who was a British guy who came to the Americas, pretended to be native and became a famous environmentalist. I went to his archives and read his letters to his publisher, which were troubling because he'd say, "Oh, I can barely write because I'm native." There are all these assumptions he's playing on.

Q: Remove \u00A0 character from a string I have the following string in a cell:

I want to split the string into an array which contains only the textual word (such as 'CRMNegocios') without any bullets, new lines, etc...
To do it, I've wrote the below code:
Sub Button1_Click()

    Dim stringsToCheck As Variant
    Dim element As Variant
    Dim stripped As String

    'Split cell value per vbLf
    stringsToCheck = Split(Cells(42, 10).Value, vbLf)
    MsgBox ("Total length of stringsToCheck is " & CStr(UBound(stringsToCheck)))

    'Remove special characters - for testing only, it will set the cell with the last value of the array
    For Each element In stringsToCheck
        stripped = GetStrippedText(CStr(element))
        Cells(42, 15) = stripped
    Next element

End Sub

Private Function GetStrippedText(txt As String) As String
    Dim regEx As Object

    Set regEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")

    '\u0000-\u007F is for other special characters
    regEx.Pattern = "[\u25A0\u00A0\u0000-\u007F]"
    GetStrippedText = regEx.Replace(txt, "")

End Function

The bullet is removed (it is \u25A0) as expected, but i'm still left with the \u00A0 characters before the textual word:

I've checked and the regex is matching, why it is not removed in the VBA ?
As mentioned in comments, original text in the cell:
■         CRMNegocios
■         GestiondeProyectos
■         Emblue
■         Videoconferencia

Text in test cell, after code run:
         Videoconferencia

A: I suggest using "^[\u25A0\u00A0\s]+" to remove all the standard whitespace, non-breaking spaces and the bullet points. It matches:

*

*^ - start of string

*[\u25A0\u00A0\s]+ - 1 or more occurrences of:

*

*\u25A0 - bullet points

*\u00A0 - non-breaking spaces

*\s - [ \r\t\n\f] whitespace

Your regex is not matching globally, so after matching and removing the first bullet point, it stopped. Then, your regex also contains  u0000-\u007F range that defines all ASCII characters. If used as is, with Replace, it removes all ASCII letters, digits, all ASCII symbols from the string. That is why your text was removed when you added .Global = True to match all occurrences.
Note that if you deal with ASCII only texts, and you need to remove any non-word chars from the start of a string, you may use regEx.Pattern = "^\W+" (no need to set .Global to True).

The Moment Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi Won The Crown For Miss Universe 2019 (Video)
Miss South Africa was crowned Miss Universe on Sunday in Atlanta after a lavish ceremony filled with glitter and heartfelt speeches about female empowerment.
Zozibini Tunzi, 26, finished first ahead of the Puerto Rican and Mexican finalists in a flashy televised event, hosted by American comic turned TV personality Steve Harvey The South African reports.
Television personalities Vanessa Lachey and Olivia Culpo served as backstage commentators, and a panel of seven women determined the winner.

Tunzi earned cheers during her closing speech, a new segment of the competition, in which she talked about wanting to empower young women to feel confident.
"I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me, with my kind of skin and my kind of hair, was never considered to be beautiful," she said.
"I think that it is time that that stops today," she said to thunderous applause.

Tunzi beat more than 90 contestants from around the globe in the 68th installment of Miss Universe, which was held in Atlanta's Tyler Perry Studios.
The two favorites ahead of the competition, Miss Thailand Paweensuda Saetan-Drouin and Miss Philippines Gazini Ganados, did not make it to the final 10.
The Philippines' Catriona Gray, who presented Tunzi with the crown, took home the Miss Universe crown in 2018.
Although she did not make the finals, Miss Myanmar Swe Zin Htet made waves last week when she came out as the competition's first openly gay contestant.
"I have that platform that, if I say that I'm a lesbian, it will have a big impact on the LGBTQ community back in Burma," Htet told People magazine, using her country's historic name.
Homosexuality is illegal in the Southeast Asian country and is punishable by up to life in prison.
In 2018, the competition also featured Miss Spain Angela Ponce, who blazed a trail as Miss Universe's first transgender contestant.
But the pageant has had a controversial past. Multiple contestants have alleged that US President Donald Trump would regularly enter the competitors' changing room while he owned the organization from 1996-2015.
Additionally, Miss Universe continues to host the swimsuit competition, which has drawn criticism for objectifying the contestants, although that part of the pageant was not televised.

Nation stays alert for A(H1N1) flu and acute diarrhea
Friday, May 15, 2009 14:01
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has stepped up the fight against A(H1N1) flu and acute diarrhea epidemics by asking the whole country to take immediate and rigorous measures against these deadly diseases.
In a message to the appropriate agencies at all levels issued on May 14, the Government leader focused on information campaigns highlighting the symptoms, ways of transmission and preventive measures needed to guard against infections.
"People should be educated to take care of themselves and protect their families and their communities by following basic food hygiene rules. They must make sure that food is clean and well cooked and drink boiled water, to avoid contracting acute diarrhea and other summer diseases," he stated.
The Government leader asked the Health Ministry to increase the monitoring of A(H1N1) flu and acute diarrhea with the cholera virus round the clock, especially at border gates, in order to detect, quarantine and treat suspected cases in time.
All measures, whatever they are, including ensuring adequate reserves of medicines and medical equipment, should be taken to curb any outbreaks and stop the spread of the epidemics, said the Government leader, adding that he wanted to be regularly updated on any developments in the diseases.
He asked local authorities to increase hygiene inspections, especially at restaurants and food shops, food processing establishments, slaughterhouses, as well as the transportation and marketing of dog meat, cattle and poultry.
The safety of water supplies for everyday life, especially from wells, ponds and lakes was also spotlighted in the Prime Minister's message.
He called on mass organisations, led by the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the general media to join in with national efforts to combat acute diarrhea and A(H1N1) flu.
The Ministry of Health has reported that several acute cases of diarrhea contaminated with the cholera virus have been discovered in five northern provinces and cities, including the capital city of Hanoi.
The deadly virus has also been detected in dog meat at several slaughterhouses and some samples of other fresh foods.
The acute diarrhea epidemic has continued to spread and is threatening to break out on a large scale.
The A(H1N1) flu, which is still being detected in an increasing number of countries the world over, has raised fears that it will soon reach Vietnam.

This versatile, exceptionally durable H421 adhesive-lined semi-rigid polyolefin heat shrinkable tubing offers an outstanding, highly reliable heat shrink tube solution perfect for use in a vast assortment of electrical cable and wire protection applications.
When H421 heat shrinkable sleeve is heated in excess of 121°C (250°F), it immediately shrinks to a skin tight fit around its internal contents, which then forces the melted adhesive lining to rapidly flow over and cover the underlying substrate. Upon cooling, the heat shrinkable tubing adhesive quickly solidifies, forming a permanent, non-drying, flexible and water resistant protective barrier against even the harshest of environmental factors.
H421 adhesive-lined polyolefin heat shrinkable tube has a 4:1 shrink ratio, meaning when it is freely recovered, the heat shrinkable sleeving will shrink down to 25% of its original diameter. Choose from a wide range of convenient sizes to meet the specific needs of your projects.

Standard Heat Shrinkable Tubing Packaging: 4' lengths. Cut pieces are available subject to quotation.
