Mariano Francisco de Borja José Justo Téllez-Girón y Beaufort-Spontin, también conocido como Mariano de Zúñiga (al ostentar el título de Señor de Zúñiga) o como Mariano de Plasencia. (Madrid, 19 de julio de 1814-Beauraing, Bélgica, 2 de junio de 1882) XII duque de Osuna y XV duque del Infantado, fue un noble, político, diplomático y militar español.

Vida

Fue el hijo segundo de Francisco de Borja Téllez-Girón, X duque de Osuna, y María-Francisca-Felipa, condesa de Beaufort-Spontin. Su hermano mayor, Pedro, XI duque de Osuna y XIV duque del Infantado, falleció en agosto de 1844.

Casó con su prima, la princesa María Eleonora zu Salm-Salm, hija de Franz Joseph Friedrich Philipp Príncipe zu Salm-Salm, matrimonio en el que no tuvo descendencia.

La carlistada

A la edad de dieciocho años, sintiéndose inclinado a imitar a sus ilustres ascendientes, el marqués de Terranova (así se titulaba por entonces) abrazó la carrera de las armas e ingresó, en clase de cadete supernumerario, en el primer escuadrón del Real Cuerpo de Guardias de la Real persona, el 27 de febrero de 1833, siendo nombrado cadete efectivo en 4 de julio del mismo año. Comenzó sus servicios haciendo donación de todos los haberes que pudieran corresponderle, en beneficio de la enfermería del citado Real Cuerpo de Guardias, y jamás cobró dieta o pensión alguna. Estuvo destinado hasta mediados de 1835 en los destacamentos del Escorial, La Granja, El Pardo y Segovia, y fue destinado, en 27 de septiembre, al Ejército del norte, en clase de ayudante de campo del general en jefe, Luis Fernández de Córdoba, III marqués de Mendigorría.

Durante este conflicto, (1835), concurrió a innumerables hechos de armas: a las acciones de Miñano Mayor, Murguía, valle de Losa, Adana, Galarreta, Aranzazu, San Adrián, Salinas de Guipúzcoa, Arlaban y Villareal de Álava. Antes de terminar el año, el marqués de Terranova participó en la acción de Zubiri, en las operaciones sobre Peñacerrada, en la persecución del caudillo carlista Miguel Gómez Damas, en los combates del valle de Mena y de Orduña, y otros. El 27 de diciembre de 1836 S.M. le concedió merced del hábito de Calatrava.

En 1837, incorporado al cuartel general del general Espartero, asistió a los difíciles reconocimientos de las líneas fortificadas de Hernani y Tolosa; a los asaltos de Irún y Fuenterrabía, donde ganó otra cruz de San Fernando; a las acciones de Urnieta, de Andoain, de Santa Cruz de Arezo, de Lecumberri, de Urquiz y Berrioplano. Participó asimismo en todos los hechos de armas que llevó a cabo el ejército encargado de perseguir al expedicionario de don Carlos por Aragón y Cuenca. Estuvo en Madrid en septiembre de 1837, aprestando la desesperada defensa de la Villa y Corte ante la inminente llegada del ejército de don Carlos. Por último, tomo parte en las operaciones contra el pretendiente hasta el regreso de éste a las Provincias Vascongadas. Con su salud quebrantada por los rigores de la guerra, los suyos le obligaron a pedir Real licencia en diciembre de aquel año para restablecerse. El 16 de enero de 1838 se le concedió el empleo de exento supernumerario de Guardias Reales, y poco después fue nombrado caballero agregado, en la clase militar, a la embajada extraordinaria que asistió a la coronación de la reina Victoria del Reino Unido. De vuelta a la Península, el marqués de Terranova prestó algunos servicios como exento de Guardias Reales que era y gentilhombre de cámara de Su Majestad.

Diputado a Cortes
Fue diputado a Cortes por Cádiz, en sustitución de Francisco Domecq Victor, que renunció al escaño el 12 de febrero de 1838. A su vez, el 20 de noviembre de 1838 solicitó su renuncia mediante escrito al Ministerio de Gobernación.

Osuna el Grande

El 29 de agosto de 1844 heredó de su hermano los títulos y estados de la Casa de Osuna, y empezó una vida de lujo que acabó con su gran ruina. Todavía es famosa la expresión «ni que fueras Osuna» en referencia a un gasto disparatado. De él se decía que podía cruzar media España sin salir de sus posesiones. Fue el último habitante de su familia en la Alameda de Osuna, pequeño palacio a las afueras de Barajas en Madrid. Tenía importantes propiedades agrícolas en Sevilla, en Guadalajara y en Extremadura. Las medidas desvinculadoras tomadas a la vez que la desamortización de Mendizábal hicieron que la propiedad de la tierra fuera completamente suya, lo que le acabó condenando ya que podían ejecutar las hipotecas contra él.

Embajador en la coronación de la reina Victoria del Reino Unido, embajador en París en la boda de Napoleón III y Eugenia de Montijo (1853) y luego embajador extraordinario en San Petersburgo de 1856 a 1868, doce años, consiguiendo la reanudación de las relaciones diplomáticas rotas a la muerte de Fernando VII. Fueron famosas las fastuosas fiestas que daba en la embajada española pagadas de su propio bolsillo.

En 1881 fue el representante español en la boda del futuro káiser Guillermo II. Murió en junio de 1882, notificando su muerte al Senado el príncipe Solms Braunfels.

Murió sin descendencia y prácticamente en la ruina por lo cual a su muerte la biblioteca de los duques del Infantado fue comprada por el Estado, pasando a formar parte de la Biblioteca Nacional. La mayor parte de sus colecciones se vendieron y dispersaron en 1896 en posterior subasta.

Fue el último señor efectivo de todos los mayorazgos familiares que se desamortizaron por las leyes de Mendizabal (1842), lo que permitió que a su fallecimiento sin sucesión, y ya que su principal heredero era el duque de Alba (que poseía ya acumuladas siete grandezas de España de primera clase), se iniciara un descomunal pleito en el que intervino la Corona, que no vio con buenos ojos que una sola persona poseyera tantos títulos y posesiones, desbaratando la acumulación de los mismos y distribuyéndolos a diversas familias. El título de duque del Infantado pasó entonces a las manos de la familia Arteaga y Lazcano, quienes consiguieron recuperar parte de los bienes de la casa.

The outstanding cuts were reserved for Side 2. Here, the casual listener was probably bewildered by the tripped out psychedelia of 'I'm A Lonely One' and the strange 'Ex Kay One Lx'. The beautiful acid folk reverie of 'Day And Night' is a pure joy, so to is the delightful 'Widdicombe Fair'.
These four songs probably date from 1968 and were unreleased at the time. 'I'm A Lonely One' b/w 'Ex Kay One Lx' would have made a perfect psych single. It's a crime that they weren't released at the time.


Last year, GuideStar, Charity Navigator, and BBB Wise Giving Alliance published an open letter to the donors of America denouncing the use of the "overhead ratio" as a primary indicator of nonprofit performance. Instead of focusing on the percentage of charity's expenses that go to administrative and fundraising cost commonly referred to as "overhead"—we need to focus on what really matters: impact. The letter, signed by all three organizations' CEOs, marked the beginning of a campaign to correct the common misconception about the importance of a low overhead ratio.
A new open letter (view letter to nonprofits and view letter to donors), published today on www.overheadmyth.com, educates and encourages nonprofits to work toward an Overhead Solution. Specifically, the letter asks nonprofits to do three things, "(1) demonstrate good governance and ethical practice, (2) manage towards results and understand your true costs and (3) help educate funders on the real costs of results." The letter goes on to provide resources to help nonprofits in this critical endeavor to measure and report on what matters most.

Conference Volunteers Begin Ministry In Haiti
It's not a mission field; it's a disaster area.
That was the consensus from members of a Florida Conference team who visited Haiti earlier this month as part of the Haiti Response Plan to the January 2010 earthquake that devastated the country. The 10-person United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) team worked in the city of Cabaret at the Haitian Methodist Church and its school.
"It was probably the hardest UMVIM trip emotionally that I have ever done," said the Rev. Hollie Tapley, a member of the team and associate pastor at Memorial UMC in Fernandina Beach. "As I've been processing and re-reading my journal, I think what I was not really prepared for was seeing just miles and miles of tent cities. All you could see was just blue tarps. To know there's no running water and electricity there … that's probably been the hardest thing I can't really get out of my mind. And to see people just on the streets with nothing, begging you to buy something or give them something … you can't even make eye contact, they need so much.

"It's not a typical mission field. It is a disaster recovery field," continued Tapley, who is also the Florida Conference UMVIM chair and sits on the Haiti Covenant Committee.
The trip was funded by a United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) grant, and was part of a priority project identified by the Methodist Church of Haiti. The Haiti Response Plan (www.umvimhaiti.org) is scheduled to last for three years, with the possibility of the work continuing if needs still remain.
All team members had been through early response training and more than half were equipped in spiritual response training, said Greg Harford of the Conference's Disaster Recovery Ministry staff — but none had been to Haiti before.
The team was led by Paulette West, Executive Director of UMVIM for the Southeastern Jurisdiction. Other team members included:
Jan and T.C. Beardslee, Edgewater UMC, Port Charlotte
Linda Bianco, Killearn UMC, Tallahassee
Scott Dedrick, CrossRoad UMC, Jacksonville
Robert Frink, Killearn UMC, Tallahassee
Jim Watson, New Covenant UMC, The Villages
The Rev. Jeff Tate, senior pastor, First UMC, Lake City
"This was the hardest trip I have ever taken, emotionally and spiritually. It's not a cakewalk," said Harford. "The resources really need to be stretched all throughout Haiti. There are a lot of hurting people."
The team spent most of its time building and sanding pews for the church in Cabaret.
"We were like a well-oiled assembly line," Harford said. "We made all the parts and pieces for 22 pews. We cut them out, we sanded them. It was kind of neat to see it all work together."
Part of the team also finished putting stucco on a security wall and others spent time interacting with children in the community.
One of the most difficult things for the team members, Harford said, was the direction from UMVIM/UMCOR to not give items to the residents in Haiti. Volunteers are asked during orientation to not leave any items behind at a work site, but to bring everything back to the United Methodist guest house where a final debriefing takes place as well. Team members also are asked not to give out e-mail addresses and phone numbers. All of these guidelines are designed to prevent inconsistencies when Haitian residents encounter visiting mission teams.
Harford recalled a special moment with a 5-year-old boy who wanted to play with her. He would "parrot whatever you said in perfect English. This little boy heard them saying, 'God bless you,' and kept repeating it. One little girl asked for my gloves. When I said no, she threw down the sandpaper, and the little boy saw this, picked up the sandpaper and said to the little girl, 'God bless you.'"

The team also led a Sunday morning church service, with the Rev. Jeff Tate preaching through a translator and joined by Tapley to serve communion.
Tate preached on Numbers 16, the story of the Hebrew people complaining as they stood in front of the tabernacle and beginning to die because of their disobedience.
"Aaron comes out with fire from the altar and stands between the living and the dead. I related that this is how Jesus was hanging on the cross for us. Spiritually we're dead, and we can come alive and accept him into our lives.
"The worship was two hours. It was really interesting," said Tate. "The worship was a lot of singing, a lot of lay-led ministry. There are less than 30 ordained pastors for 153 United Methodist churches in Haiti. They call them district superintendents, but they have huge circuits. Lay pastors are the ones to lead the worship week in and week out."
During the weeklong trip, the team visited a hospital and then went to College Bird, a school in Port-au-Prince run by one of the oldest Methodist churches in Haiti. Both the school and the church were heavily damaged in the quake. Kneeling impromptu at the church's oval-shaped altar, Tapley began to pray out loud. She prayed for Clinton Rabb and Sam Dixon, United Methodist leaders who died during the earthquake, and for the people of Haiti and that they would be filled with hope.
"Kneeling and praying for the hope of Haiti and for faith to be restored was the beginning of the healing of my emotions, even though I've still struggled since I got home," Tapley noted.
Her prayer had an impact on a Haitian named Patrick, the mission team's translator for the week. Observed Tate, "He had an extremely emotional moment. Something happened, I think, inside him at that point; something changed. He had been bouncing back and forth from a bunch of different churches and really didn't have a grasp on anything except for the ceremonial aspect of it."
Throughout the week, Tate added, "You could tell that people began to trust us more and allow us to be more a part of their lives, and we allowed them to be a part of our lives."
"In my life experience, I have never seen in one country that much extreme poverty," Tate said. "But the flip side of that is the hope the people have. We were there when the election results were announced. The cheering and the excitement of a new opportunity were really neat to experience. I think the hope in the midst of what looks like — at least, from an outsider –- despair was really impressive. And the people were so kind and so hospitable, almost to an extreme."
Tate said he was impressed by how well the United Methodist Church is organized in Haiti, describing the plan there as "cutting edge." Each visiting team is asked to bring $3,500 in funding beyond travel costs, which UMCOR then matches so that two Haitian workers can be hired for each short-term missionary who goes down there.
The UMVIM team poses together. (Provided to the Florida Conference)
In the past decade, Tate continued, individual churches often adopted a Haitian church and would come to the community a couple of times per year and do mission work.
"But nothing was happening in that community mission-wise for the time in between. If there was a project of building a church, it might take five or 10 years to actually build the church. But UMVIM has established that the teams go to a community and continue to send teams until the projects are completed, and then they move on to the next project," he said.
Harford emphasized that any groups feeling led to go to Haiti should work through the UMVIM/UMCOR process, and honor the priorities established by the Haiti Response Plan.
"One of their priorities is getting the churches and schools back up and running. Those are the hubs of their communities. Everything else runs out like bicycle spokes. If we can get them safe and secure, then we can go into the communities and spread those resources out — not just to United Methodists, but to whoever was affected and hurt by the earthquake."
Added Harford, "People living in these squalid tents, that's what affected me. Where was the light in their eyes? I couldn't see any light. The children in the schools, that's where you saw some light. … If anything I hope we brought hope down there, by people continuing to come down and being consistent in the process."
Each member of the team has been tasked with building a new team to take a future trip to Haiti. Harford and Tate plan to head back in early 2012, but Tapley is going back as soon as September, and is wrestling with how to prepare the members from her church to see and experience what she did.
"We're going to keep talking about it. I will show pictures, and try to prepare them for those things," she said.

Is Philippines richer than Thailand?
The economy of Thailand is dependent on exports, which accounted in 2019 for about sixty per cent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). … The industrial and service sectors are the main sectors in the Thai gross domestic product, with the former accounting for 39.2 percent of GDP.
Thailand's economy is a blend of a strong agricultural sector with a developed manufacturing sector and a stable service sector. Although the agricultural sector has given way to others, it still employs a large part of the labor force and still bolsters exports, the engine of the country's economy.
In 2019, declining exports and growing weaknesses in domestic demand were the key drivers of the slowdown in growth in Thailand. … The government has responded swiftly to the growth slowdown, through accommodative monetary policies and a fiscal stimulus package to boost economic growth.
The most important contributors are tourism, retail sales, transportation, as well as banking and finance. Tourism is one of the biggest contributors to the sector, while its share alone in total GDP is around 10%. Industry accounts for 42% of Thailand's total production and its main component is manufacturing.
THIS IS INTERESTING: What is good Filipino citizen Brainly?
Because Thailand did not initially join the Allies or the Communism Bloc, it is a Third World country. … This means that Thailand has advanced farther relative to other countries, but has not yet reached the level of modern industrialized nations, such as the Western Nations.
Exports and tourism are the main drivers of Thailand's growth. The tourism sector grew by 7.5% in 2018 while exports saw a 7.2% growth. Its key exports are automotive and electronic goods, as well as agricultural products such as rice, rubber, sugar and tapioca.
Tourism is an economic contributor to the Kingdom of Thailand. Estimates of tourism revenue directly contributing to the GDP of 12 trillion baht range from one trillion baht (2013) 2.53 trillion baht (2016), the equivalent of 9% to 17.7% of GDP.
India has a GDP per capita of $7,200 as of 2017, while in Thailand, the GDP per capita is $17,900 as of 2017.
Thailand imports mainly raw materials and intermediate goods (around 56 percent of total imports). Fuel accounts for 19 percent, parts of electronic appliances for 11 percent, materials of base metal for 9 percent, and chemicals for 5.5 percent.
Thailand has a tropical climate so it is generally very hot, particularly between March and May with April being the hottest month (30°C/86°F). The monsoon season runs from May/June to October, when the climate is still hot and humid with torrential rains. Rain in the south typically continues until December.
THIS IS INTERESTING: You asked: How many people in Thailand have access to Internet?
Thailand and India are two very different countries, but both are very affordable. … Although more expensive, Thailand is perhaps the "easier" country to visit for a number of reasons. The infrastructure for travelers is more developed.
Thailand has a GDP per capita of $17,900 as of 2017, while in Philippines, the GDP per capita is $8,400 as of 2017.

Around 27bn tonnes of coal are thought to be locked under the ground of the Galilee Basin in the outback of Queensland. A huge proposed complex of coal mines is planned here, including the world�s largest thermal coal project.
So are railway lines and a massive expansion of the Abbot Point port on the Great Barrier Reef.
What will this mean for the Aboriginal community, the Great Barrier Reef and the world's climate?
But there's also the problem of how unfair it would be for the 'developed' world to prevent the 'undeveloped' world 'developing'.
Yes, it's really worthwhile settling down with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit to look at that. Well done the Grauniad.
Yes. Despite its ominous content, it's also an amazing example of creativity - it may help save some trees.
Agreed. I find it ridiculous when people speak of the "low carbon knowledge economy" that we are developing in the West, when all we've done is shove the dirty stuff under the carpet.
I guess so, but do we have to prevent it from developing? Maybe a start would be for us to desist from off-shoring the means to fuel our habits of excessive consumption. Allow developing nations to develop on their own terms, rather than "hot-housing" them by encouraging ultra-high levels of production.
Very much so. It's what E-books have the potential to be, genuinely mixing different media and delivery methods, rather than just electronically presenting text as a normal book could. I'll forward it to my son. He's a graphic designer with an interest in motion-graphics.
Apple are most definitely making their products 'greener'. On that front, they're very near the head of the pack.
+1 on "developed". Please tell me that image is photoshopped!
Interesting comment about Apple's products getting greener. "Green" is of course a multi-faceted feature, covering embedded production energy, use of raw materials, life-cycle, energy consumption during use, etc.
From my own personal experience, they are certainly low in energy consumption. Also, I have an iMac which I bought in 2009 and it is still going strong. The only thing I've done to help it "keep up" with the OS upgrades has been to put a bit more memory in it. It has lasted me longer than any other PC I've owned. So, good on the lifecycle front, although offset somewhat by their marketing efforts encouraging people to replace their iPhone every six months!
Do you have info on other aspects of their green-ness? I'd be interested to look at any articles.
Yeah, iMacs last for years. I always buy them second-hand - but I use twice as many as most people as I have them at home as well as at work.
I just replaced my eight-year-old home iMac with a two-year-old one but the older one still works perfectly: you have to upgrade the system to a point where it's as fast as it's ever going to be, then ignore upgrades to operating systems till you change the computer. So the old one will easily get sold to offset the cost of the new. I only changed it because I'm doing more work at home.
OK, this is from Apple itself but have a read here.
Short reports from Ethical Consumer here and here.
Please tell me that image is photoshopped!
That person is as much in need of psychiatric help as our corporate CEOs are and for much the same reason. It's just a slightly different way of upholding one's self image. One does it via the body, visually, while the other does it via a bank account but neither know when enough is enough!
I don't think this project will go ahead. Reasons below.
1) Palmer and Adani are very nearly bankrupt.
3) China coal usage seems to be peaking and they can get plenty of thermal coal from indonesia which is half the shipping distance.
4) Australians do care about the Barrier Reef.
5) The developers 'expect' the Queensland government (also nearly bankrupt by the way - just voted out an austerity government to be replaced by big spending Labor) to build the rail line to get the coal to the coast.
I hope you're right. Keep us posted.

Es handelt sich um eine Gruppe von Schriften, die im Frühmittelalter im insularen Raum geschaffen wurden und auch auf dem Kontinent Verbreitung fanden.

Die irische Schrift ist auf der Grundlage einer lateinischen Minuskel, der Halbunziale, und in geringerem Maß der Unziale gebildet worden. Der Grund für den überwiegenden Einfluss der Halbunziale ist, dass sie die Schrift der weitaus meisten Codices war, die von den Missionaren, die Irland im 5. Jahrhundert christianisierten, aus Gallien mitgebracht wurden. Irland hatte nie zum Römischen Reich gehört und trat erst mit dem Eindringen des Christentums in den vom lateinischen Schriftwesen geprägten Kulturkreis ein. Die Bücher, die im Zuge der Christianisierung nach Irland kamen, waren Bibeln oder enthielten liturgische, exegetische, dogmatische oder kirchenrechtliche Texte. Sie waren kalligraphisch geschrieben. Die Ausgangsbasis für die Entstehung der irischen Schrift bildeten somit nicht kursiv geschriebene Schriftstücke des Geschäftsverkehrs, sondern kostbare Handschriften in halbunzialer Buchschrift. Der Beginn der irischen Schrift fällt wohl in die zweite Hälfte des 6. Jahrhunderts, doch die ältesten Schriftdenkmäler, Wachstafeln aus einem irischen Torfmoor, sind wahrscheinlich erst im frühen 7. Jahrhundert entstanden.

Die älteste Form der irischen Schrift ist eine Halbunziale, die als "irische Rundschrift" oder "insulare Rundschrift" bezeichnet wird. Sie unterscheidet sich von der kontinentalen Halbunzialen durch die stark ausgeprägten Rundungen, die Verstärkung der Spitzen der Oberlängen und der geraden Striche der Mittelbuchstaben durch dreieckige, spachtelförmige Ansätze, die geringe Ausdehnung der Oberlängen und die starke Ausbiegung der Schäfte von b, d, h und l. Das Schriftbild ist gedrungen, man sprach von litterae tunsae ("geschorenen Buchstaben"). Die Rundschrift ist vor allem in Prachthandschriften anzutreffen. Im 7. Jahrhundert wurde die "Spitzschrift" oder "insulare Minuskel" entwickelt, die Platz sparte und ein zügigeres Schreiben ermöglichte. Sie schwächte die Eigentümlichkeiten der Rundschrift stark ab; die dreieckigen Ansätze sind weniger ausgeprägt. Die Buchstaben der Spitzschrift sind schmaler und meist enger zusammengedrängt als die der Rundschrift und oft sehr klein; die Unterlängen laufen in feine Spitzen aus. Ligaturen und Abkürzungen sind häufig. Die Iren entwickelten in der Spitzschrift ein besonderes, charakteristisches Abkürzungswesen. Texte in irischer Sprache wurden fast ausschließlich in Spitzschrift geschrieben. Ab dem 9. Jahrhundert wurde die Rundschrift zunehmend seltener verwendet, vom 12. Jahrhundert an überhaupt nicht mehr. Die Spitzschrift hingegen blieb das ganze Mittelalter hindurch erhalten.

Von den in Rundschrift geschriebenen Prachthandschriften ist das um 800 entstandene Book of Kells die bekannteste. Ein Beispiel für Spitzschrift bietet das zu Beginn des 9. Jahrhunderts geschriebene Book of Armagh.

Das irische Schriftwesen breitete sich weit über sein Entstehungsgebiet hinaus aus. Durch die irische Mission in Northumbrien ab 634 und durch den jahrelangen Aufenthalt vieler Angelsachsen in Irland gelangte es nach Britannien. Es entwickelte sich eine irisch-northumbrische Kalligraphie und Buchkunst. Ab dem Ende des 6. Jahrhunderts brachten irische Mönche ihre Schrift aufs Festland ins Fränkische Reich. Durch die von irischem Einfluss geprägten festländischen Skriptorien verbreitete sich das irische Schriftwesen im heutigen Frankreich, im deutschsprachigen Raum und in Oberitalien.

Die Verwendung der irischen Schrift im Buchdruck begann 1571 mit einer Type, die im Auftrag der englischen Königin Elisabeth I. für den Druck eines anglikanischen Katechismus angefertigt wurde ("Queen Elizabeth's Type", cló Éilíseach). Eine weitere Type schufen katholische Mönche, die im Exil in Belgien lebten. Ab dem 17. Jahrhundert galt die irische Schrift als Symbol für den Willen zur Wahrung der kulturellen Eigenständigkeit Irlands. Bis ins 20. Jahrhundert wurde sie als übliche Druckschrift für Texte in irischer Sprache verwendet. Heute wird sie fast ausschließlich für dekorative Zwecke gebraucht.

In der irischen Druckschrift werden lenierte Konsonanten nicht wie in moderner Antiqua durch ein nachgestelltes h, sondern durch einen Überpunkt (ponc séimhithe) gekennzeichnet, der aus dem punctum delens (Tilgungspunkt bei Schreibfehlern) mittelalterlicher Handschriften hervorging, das heißt: ḃ ċ ḋ ḟ ġ ṁ ṗ ṡ ṫ statt bh, ch, dh, fh, gh, mh, ph, sh, th; beispielsweise amaċ statt amach (irisch für "heraus"). Dies wird durch das Fehlen der Oberlängen bei den entsprechenden irischen Graphemzeichen erleichtert. Kennzeichnend für die irische Druckschrift ist auch die häufige Verwendung des tironischen et zur verkürzten Schreibung des Wortes agus (irisch für "und").

It was established when the Government of Maharashtra introduced 'Pahili Pasun Engraji' and made it mandatory for every school i.e. (Marathi Medium) to include English in their syllabus.
As the teachers in Marathi Medium were less competent to conduct classes in English, it became very important for AIEL staff to conduct workshops, training programmes and orient the teachers from time to time.
The Spoken English Course is open for nine months every year from June to February.
Hence the AIEL teachers are employed on 'Visiting Faculty' basis.
This Spoken English course is incorporated in the regular time-table of the schools.
Systematic Syllabus is designed by the Head of AIEL month-wise so as to regularize the flow of teaching.
Lesson Plans are prepared by the teachers in the specified format in order to follow a common method of teaching.
Accordingly Lesson Observations are conducted by Head to keep a track on teaching methods.
Teachers need to evaluate each child's progress and fill in the Evaluation Sheets provided by AIEL.
Different types of audio-visual aids are used by the teachers which help to enhance the interest in children in English Language.
At AIEL more emphasis is laid on verbal teaching than on written, which indirectly improves the listening skills.
Different activities and games are conducted in the regular sessions so as to motivate the students towards speaking English.

Speaking to dozens of Senators, assembly members,delegates and state representatives all over the country, Wright-Brawn was an instrumental part of its ratification in eight states. She continues to push forward by lobbying 13 new states with the bill currently intheir legislature. Wright-Brawn also personally helps victims who write in or call in to the Kasem Cares help line.
During Christmas 2012, Wright-Brawn's father was taken by a caregiver "friend" who left no information onhis whereabouts. That was the start of his 14-month isolation, abuse and eventual death at the hands ofothers. Not only did the caregiver isolate her father from all family and friends, but they also stole his entireestate, changing his will to leave nothing to his four children or grandchildren. This situation led to herinvolvement in Kasem Cares.
Professionally, Wright-Brawn worked for the United States Postal Service as a mail carrier and unionrepresentative for eight years, negotiating with management for the rights of her co-workers. Personally, shehas always been drawn to helping others. In 1990, she involved herself with the self-help movement,attending talks and conferences on sexual abuse, domestic violence and chemical dependency, with speakerssuch as Deepak Chopra and John Bradshaw. As a member of the Red Cross, she helped hurricane Katrinavictims by listening to their stories and obtaining clothes, medical attention and funds for lodging.
Wright-Brawn resides in Phoenix, Arizona. She is the mother of three grown children and grandmother ofWyatt, Wynnie and Dylan.

A power of attorney is meant to help families avoid financial problems when someone becomes unable to manage their money but a Nova Scotia woman says her experience has shown that power can be abused by the very person who's supposed to be protecting the finances.
Last week, the Nova Scotia's law reform commission called for an overhaul of how power of attorney works in the province, starting with clearer language and reporting rules.

Toowong Cemetery
Brisbane General Cemetery Portion 10: Soldier's Reservation
304 Birdwood Terrace, Toowong 4066
Toowong Cemetery opened in 1871 replacing the Milton/Paddington Cemetery (now the Lang Park site) that had, in turn, earlier replaced Brisbane's first cemetery, the Moreton Bay Penal Cemetery located near Skew Street in the City. Toowong Cemetery's Portion 10 developed into a military graves section. During the 1920-30s, ex-servicemen who came home but subsequently died from World War One-related injuries or illnesses, were given Commonwealth Government headstones at Portion 10.
In the early part of World War II, from March 1940 to December 1942, the graves of 79 servicemen who died while on active service in Brisbane were placed at Toowong. As Portion 10 drew close to capacity, military burials were shifted to Lutwyche Cemetery at the start of 1943. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has, so far, identified 379 Graves of war-related casualties scattered throughout Toowong Cemetery. Of these, over 100 are World War II casualties with the majority of these graves located in Portion 10.
After World War I, some returned servicemen who had died due to the lingering effects of wounds, gas attack or the 1918-19 'Spanish Flu' Pandemic were interred in Portion 10 of Toowong Cemetery. This was not a designated War Graves Section as it already contained a few civilian graves. But during the 1920s, as Portion 10 began to fill with military headstones it became known as the Soldiers Corner. Chaplain Lieutenant-Colonel David John Garland inaugurated an ANZAC Day service at the cemetery in 1920. He saw a small crowd placing flowers on soldiers' graves and gathered them around him to conduct a simple service. He was instrumental in raising the funds for the construction of the Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance that were unveiled on ANZAC Day, 1924. The area set apart for military graves within Portion 10 was extended in 1934. Canon Garland led the ANZAC Day service annually until 1938 (he died in 1939). He started the custom of conducting ANZAC Day services in Brisbane cemeteries. The Toowong services continued after Garland's death but were later moved to Toowong Memorial Park off Sylvan Road.
On 3 September 1939, two days after Germany invaded Poland, Britain declared war and Australia gave its immediate support. Brisbane became a garrison city with its main role to recruit and then provide basic training to men and women who enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Army (2nd Australian Imperial Force - the AIF, or the Australian Military Force - the militia) or the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The first Brisbane-based serviceman to be buried at Toowong was Private Charles Douglas Nash. He died on 3 March 1940 while serving with the militia's 1st Garrison Battalion. He was one of four such burials during 1940. There were nine burials during 1941, including the first RAAF grave that was for Leading Aircraftsman George James Manson who died on 4 March 1941.
With the outbreak of the Pacific War on 8 December 1941, Brisbane's role soon changed. The arrival at New Farm of the first US troops sent to Australia on 22 December 1941 was the beginning of using Brisbane as an Allied forward base. When General MacArthur transferred the headquarters of his South-West Pacific Area command from Melbourne to Brisbane on 23 July 1942, Brisbane became a major strategic planning and supply base. As large numbers of troops poured into Brisbane, the number of military burials at Toowong increased. No Americans were buried at Toowong. A US War Graves Section was created at Lutwyche Cemetery, before all US graves were transferred to Ipswich in June 1942.
Another 66 graves were added to Portion 10 in 1942. Among the burials was Private Edward Sidney Webster (2/2nd Anti-Tank Regiment), the only fatality from the infamous "Battle of Brisbane". He died on 26 November 1942. The three RAN sailors who were killed in the 'Tamar Incident' (Moreton Bay, 4 March 1942) are also buried in Portion 10. Able Seaman Archibald Edward Bartsch and Warrant Officer Henry Theeman died on that day. Able Seaman Eric Ross Harrison died of wounds the next day at the new Greenslopes Military Hospital. All were members of the RAN Volunteer Reserve (RANVR). To cover-up this incident, the RAN buried the sailors almost immediately. Harrison's mother did not receive official notification of her son's death until after his funeral. Having previously lost two sons in World War I, Mrs. Harrison was so incensed at Eric's death that she refused a Commonwealth headstone. Instead, she paid to have a private headstone placed at his gravesite.
With 79 graves added to Portion 10 due to World War II fatalities, the Brisbane City Council's Health Committee declared that Portion 10 was nearly full. On 28 November 1942, the Council announced that military burials would cease at Toowong and that a new, official Commonwealth War Graves Section would be opened at Lutwyche Cemetery situated off Gympie Road. The Council stressed that since 1915, a total of 1,836 soldiers had already been buried at Toowong Cemetery. Most of these graves are located in private plots elsewhere from Portion 10. The last wartime military burial in Portion 10 was Stoker 2nd Class Victor Cyril Button (RANVR). He was just 18 years old when he died on Christmas Day 1942.
The Council's decision did not prevent private memorials to wartime casualties from being placed in Portion 10. Three memorials were erected for deaths that had occurred in 1943. A further four headstones were placed in Portion 10 during 1944 and 1945. It is thought that these may be empty graves, as it is known that at least two of the bodies are buried outside of Brisbane. After 1942, the burial of wartime casualties continued in Toowong Cemetery's other sections where the grave became part of a private family plot. For example, Able Seaman Francis George Allen, who died on 30 June 1944 while serving in the Merchant Navy, was buried in Portion 30.

How popular is the City of Canton, Georgia? According to national census figures, the population of Canton tripled from roughly 7,700 in 2000 to 23,000 in 2010. That's popular.
The popularity of Canton has nothing to do with its former fame for producing denim fabric or the infamous removal of Cherokee Indians in 1838 and the subsequent Trail of Tears death march.
It is the seat of Cherokee County and was named after Canton in China, if you like trivia.
Today, the City of Canton is 40-square-miles of nice people, nice weather, nice surroundings and the promise of a nice life. Nothing trivial about that.
You may help guide Canton's future.
The City of Canton is preparing an update to our Comprehensive Plan and we need your help. This exciting process will decide key principles that will guide the City's decision-making for the next 20 years.
Your input will help guide preliminary planning concepts to be generated through a series of public meetings to be held throughout the planning process. We are excited to hear your thoughts.

Ever since I heard it, I've had trouble remembering the title of Martha Marcy May Marlene. The movie? That's another story. Director Sean Durkin's debut feature brims with enough quiet tension to make it one of the year's most memorable movies.
Durkin, who also wrote the screenplay, tells the story of a young woman (Elizabeth Olsen) who escapes from a rural cult in upstate New York, but can't entirely shake off the experience.
On a deeper level, Martha Marcy May Marlene is a creepy mediation on the darker corners of identity. Just as Martha seems to juggle many identities -- some of her own choosing, some not -- the film, too, comes across as a kind of mix tape, finding its roots in both horror and psychological drama, genres that often are at their best when merged.
Olsen plays Martha, a young woman who, having fled a cult, shows up at the home of her sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson). It's immediately clear that Martha's presence will elevate tensions between Lucy and her architect husband (Hugh Dancy). Lucy feels responsible for her younger sister, even though she hasn't seen her in a couple of years.
This kind of movie -- ambiguous and haunting -- puts tremendous pressure on its lead actress, and Olsen handles it well. On one hand, we believe that she's had her fill of cult life; on the other, it's clear that Martha's life on the farm has toppled her ideas about personal boundaries and social convention. At one point, Martha pops into bed with her sister and her husband while they're making love. We eventually learn that in the cult, women are initiated by being drugged and raped by the cult's charismatic leader (John Hawkes).
Martha is constantly flashing back to her experiences in the cult. We know enough about other cults -- the Manson family, for example -- to fear that terrible violence lurks among cult members who are committed to defending their isolated way of life, which offers an indigestible mix of puritanical rigor (the men and women eat separately) and perversion (the women are offered to the cult leader as if they were sacrifices to an earthly god).
Durkin leaves plenty of blanks for us to fill in. We speculate that Martha joined this cult because she felt displaced, and that, for a time, the cult provided her with a safe heaven, as well as with a sense of power.
We also wonder whether Martha is strong enough to escape the influences of Hawkes' Patrick, who knows how to cast a wicked spell. He keeps telling Martha that she's "a teacher and a leader," someone special.
Durkin builds additional tension by forcing us to wonder when the cult members will follow Martha -- who they call Marcy May -- into her sister's suburban home, which represents a lifestyle Martha seems to find as off-putting as that of the cult.
Durkin purposefully keeps us off balance: At times, we're not sure whether we're in the present or reliving a piece of Martha's past. This approach makes sense because Martha may not be sure, either, and the movie benefits from its unhinged sense of creepiness.
Martha never tells Lucy where she's been, and it strains credibility to think that Lucy waits until the picture nearly has concluded to suggest that Martha seek professional help.
But Durkin's ability to sustain a sense of dread more than compensates for a few plot holes, and Martha Marcy May Marlene stands as one of the year's more intriguing pictures, a portrait of a self-contained world that's suffocating the spirit of a young woman who doesn't know (and maybe never will) how she fits into the general scheme of things.

Sure, plenty of people are talking about the great Super Bowl game that occurred Sunday night with the 49ers' epic comeback, just to be thwarted at the last minute by poor playcalling and officiating.
But we're here to talk about the commercials.
There were plenty of ads that had people yapping leading up to the Super Bowl, on social media during the game and even into Monday morning. Perhaps the two most controversial commercials of the night were "Coke Chase" and Volkswagen "Get in. Get Happy." Both ads were called racist, but they still aired on Super Bowl Sunday.
Among the more well-received ads were Oreo "Whisper Fight" and the NFL's "Leon Sandcastle." Due to "Sandcastle's" advanced age, the only team likely to take a chance on the cornerback is Cleveland — remember, they did draft a 29-year-old quarterback just last year.
Take a look at all the most talked about commercials of Super Bowl XLVII so you don't feel left behind when everyone around you is having the "cookie versus cream" debate or talking about Sandcastle's 4.2 second 40-yard dash.


The official site of Apple reported startup program to replace the ultra-USB power adapter, which is supplied with mobile devices iPhone 3G. Reportedly, the speakers metal contacts can come away and stay in the outlet, creating a risk of electric shock. Apple notes that the injury has not yet been fixed. Nevertheless, the company recommends to discontinue the use of these adapters and their ayfony temporarily charged with the USB port of your computer or laptop using a USB-power adapter standard form factor.

Q: What is the right way to modify a global list using a function which takes the list as an argument? I am writing a function which takes a list of numbers and modifies it by replacing the numbers with their squares. I have tried 4 different ways of iterating over a list and got 2 different kinds of results. Below is the code
nums = [1,2,3]

def square1(nums):
    nums = [i*i for i in nums]

def square2(nums):
    temp = list()
    for i in nums:
        temp.append(i*i)
    nums = temp

def square3(nums):
    for i in range(len(nums)):
        nums[i] = nums[i] * nums[i]

def square4(nums):
    i = 0
    while i < len(nums):
        nums[i] = nums[i] * nums[i]
        i += 1

square1(nums)
print(nums)
# Prints [1, 2, 3]

square2(nums)
print(nums)
# Prints [1, 2, 3]

square3(nums)
print(nums)
# Prints [1, 4, 9]

square4(nums)
print(nums)
# Prints [1, 16, 81]

Why is there a difference between the first 2 functions and the last 2? The square1 and square2 functions are unable to modify the global list whereas the square3 and square4 could modify. What is this behavior?

A: You pass the parameter as reference to the list
.
In square1 you are using list comprehension it is creating the list for you on function local scope. And assinged the name nums to it.
In square2 you created an empty list local to function scope and assigned just a name nos to it
In square3 this explicit assignment changed at the reference it was pointing to nums[i] = nums[i] * nums[i]
In square4 there is an assignment again. In first two you created new lists did not mutated the passed reference to list

Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) re-established in a formerly acidified and highly dilute mountain lake under declining acidic deposition
Hesthagen, Trygve H.; Saksgård, Randi J.
Fauna Norvegica. 2018, 38 30-36. 10.5324/fn.v38i0.2272
Arctic charr in Rondvatn, a formerly highly acidified mountain lake in southern Norway, was re-established through stocking. The population became extinct during the early 1980s when the lake had an annual mean pH of 5.2-5.4, with occasional declines to 4.3-4.7. From the mid to late 1990s, the pH and acid-neutralizing capacity (ANC) rose to 5.8-5.9 and 13-15 μeq L-1, respectively. The lake is poor in ions with a mean conductivity and calcium concentration of 7.7 μS cm-1 and 0.35 mg L-1, respectively. The lake was stocked with 250 young Arctic charr from four small neighbouring lakes between 1998 and 2000. This introduction was successful. Test-fishing in 2004, 2008 and 2012 revealed a relatively dense population of Arctic charr, and the presence of several new age-groups. pH and ANC has remained stable since the late 1990s, or has slightly improved.

Immaterial wins first prize in our postdoc business plan competition
Latest News Immaterial wins first prize in our postdoc business plan competition
Andrew Marsden, of the University's Department of Chemistry, on Thursday accepted first prize on behalf of his team for Immaterial in the first-ever postdoc business plan competition, run by Cambridge Enterprise (CE) and the Entrepreneurial Postdocs of Cambridge (EPOC).
Professor Chris Abell, Director of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, took to the stage at Peterhouse College Theatre to award the £15,000 cash prize to Marsden, CEO of Immaterial, whose technology was co-developed by team members Dr David Fairen-Jimenez and Tian Tian, both of the Department of Chemical Engineering. It consists of a porous material that can be put inside a gas tank, enabling it to store up to 16 times as much gas at the same pressure and in the same volume.
It was an excellent opportunity for us to develop our plan for commercialisation and justify every aspect of our thinking.
Andrew Marsden
A second place prize of £7,500 was awarded to Dr Richard Bowman of project WaterScope. Using open-source technology, WaterScope is developing an innovative 3D-printable microscope that provides high-resolution images at significantly lower prices, offering a quick and inexpensive way to test water for bacteria.
The postdoc business plan competition, which was launched in August, required the entrants to progress through several rounds of judging to reach the final, including 20 minute pitches where they were questioned on the finer details of their technology and business plans, and offered mentoring from industry experts to improve their ideas. Of the field of contestants, four teams made it to the finals.
Andrew Marsden of Immaterial said, "It was an excellent opportunity for us to develop our plan for commercialisation and justify every aspect of our thinking. We are looking forward to building on the strong basis we have developed and using the funding to support a feasibility study of industrial scale production."
Anne Dobrée, Head of Cambridge Enterprise Seed Funds, which provided the investment prizes, said, "All of the finalists were of high calibre, as was clear from the quality of the pitches. The teams said that they found the mentoring stage of the competition very useful in improving their business plans. We wish them all luck."
As the winner, Immaterial's team will have an opportunity to pitch their idea to investors at one of CE's Venture Partners dinners, an investor forum of venture capitalists and business angels with more than £4 billion of funds under management by members.
The postdoc business plan competition will be open to contestants again in 2016, so watch this space.

This is going to be quick because I have a personal target date to have CrownYa ready for beta testing by the end of this week, Friday, June 3, 2016.
One feature unique to CrownYa is the ability to create a custom product entry, tap the "Find" icon and a map will display multiple locations for that product, including price information.
Results may be sorted by price or distance from the user's current location. Tapping a product appearing on the map presents choices to either "Purchase", "Share", or "Get directions" (drive or walk) to that particular location.
I'm currently working on cleaning up the app interface in order to post an overview video on CrownYa's YouTube Channel.
There is so much more that CrownYa is already capable of doing – but I'm not going to clutter the view with that during the beta testing period. Additional functionality will be determined by beta user feedback.
The above will be revealed over time as I'm focusing now on shaping CrownYa as an app that will fill a need as defined by "the community" that will use it.

One charged in stolen eagle case
Authorities say he acquired statue, but didn't take it
A south Forsyth man who provided information that led to the recovery of large eagle sculpture has been charged in connection with its theft.
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, 29-year-old Pedro Castro Garcia faces one count of theft by receiving.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Garcia at his home Monday afternoon. He was released from the Forsyth County Detention Center later that night on a $14,110 bond.
The statue had been reported stolen Aug. 28 from the Bethelview trailhead of the Forsyth County Big Creek Greenway.
Following a tip from a local business owner, it was recovered in good condition Wednesday in a storage shed at Garcia's home.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Karleen Chalker said investigators are still trying to determine who took the statue from the trailhead.
"It is not believed that Mr. Garcia was involved in the theft," she said. "He received the stolen eagle and apparently made some kind of payment for it."
According to Chalker, Garcia told investigators he "suspected the eagle was stolen when he purchased it."
She explained that the charge for theft by receiving is based on whether someone knew or should have known that the item was stolen.
In this case, the charge is a felony because of the value of the statue, which is about $18,500.
Garcia is scheduled to appear Oct. 24 in Forsyth County Superior Court.
Local business owner Lance White alerted authorities to the eagle's whereabouts after Garcia asked if he knew anyone who would like to buy it.
White said Garcia, who does landscape work and other odd jobs for him, wanted to return the eagle once White told him it had been stolen from the county.
White posted bail for Garcia because he believes he's not guilty of a crime.
"He's guilty of being naïve and ignorant, but he's not guilty of intentionally knowing it was stolen and that it was stolen from this county," White said. "He's somebody who was trying to make an honest living for himself, and he works harder than most people I know."
White, who owns Lance's Jewelry, said it was "disheartening" to learn that Garcia had been arrested.
"Any one of us could have been in this situation if we bought something that we didn't know was stolen," said White, adding that Garcia doesn't own a television or have access to the local newspaper, which reported the theft.
The bronze sculpture had been on display since May. It's 60 inches tall, 54 inches wide, 45 inches deep and weighs about 400 pounds.
Investigators have said it likely took at least two people to remove the statue from its base.
The county was leasing the piece from sculptor Gregory Johnson for a year through a grant provided by the Forsyth County Arts Alliance.
The lease, which is "fully funded" by the arts grant, was $2,000 for this year, Forsyth County spokeswoman Jodi Gardner wrote in an e-mail.
The sculpture was scheduled to be on display through year's end.
"Forsyth County and the artist would both like to complete the term of the grant by placing the sculpture back on display," Gardner wrote. "The county is currently working with the artist to determine the best location for the sculpture."
She added that the county is considering measures to ensure the security of the artwork.

WOW! This kid Zain is not good; he's great, he's super. He did such a good job in this movie, and yes I enjoyed every second of it. Even though he is a kid in this movie, his parents and others forced him to act like an adult, which they later regret. And although he had hatred for those who abused him emotionally, he still had a heart of gold as evidenced by his babysitting, not realizing the mother was in jail. A large part of this movie was caring for this toddler child with no money and other essentials. And lastly I enjoyed that cute smile of his that ended the movie.
My Movie Rating: 8 / 10

Bus Industry Safety Council Honors Pete Worthington with First Norm Littler Memorial Safety Award
Posted by Vicki Osman on January 20, 2015
Bus Industry Safety Council Honors Pete Worthington with First Norm Littler Memorial Safety Award (January 20, 2015)
In 2014, the Bus Industry Safety Council (BISC) created the Norm Littler Memorial Safety Award. It recognizes an individual or organization that has made significant contributions to improving the safety of the motorcoach passengers, who collectively take nearly 640 million trips on motorcoaches each year. The award was presented for the first time at ABA's Marketplace in St. Louis, January 11, 2015.
The winner is Pete Worthington, who recently retired as a Vice President with DATTCO Transportation in Connecticut. His responsibilities included management of DATTCO's equipment and fleet, operations, sales and overseeing a complete reorganization of the company's operational systems. Mr. Worthington worked in the motorcoach industry for more than 50 years, beginning as a bus driver in 1963. Most of Pete's career was with two companies, Vermont Transit, and DATTCO. Pete is also a former President of the Connecticut Bus Association and the former Executive Secretary of the New England Bus Association.
In addition to Pete's extensive experience with those two companies, Pete has been a respected safety consultant and even in retirement, Pete continues to serve the industry as a part-time consultant and member of the Bus Industry Safety Council.
Pete is also one of the country's foremost authorities on the American's with Disabilities Act, and he has assisted countless companies with ADA compliance questions. For nine years, he served as a member of Easter Seals' Project Action. The program is responsible for providing information and training to all forms of transportation (motorcoaches, subway and rail systems, Amtrak, taxis, and paratransit operators) about providing transportation services to people with disabilities. Pete was not only the Project Action motorcoach liaison, but he also assisted in the writing of language of the law and the rulemaking process from 1998-2002.
"Pete Worthington has done everything there is to do in the motorcoach industry. He started as a driver at Vermont Transit in 1963 and he held several key management positions there and made a significant contribution to that company before joing DATTCO. At DATTCO, Pete was responsible for much of our company's growth since he joined us in 1991, and then again in 2011. He came out of retirement in 2011 to serve as our Vice President leading several departments. Pete's focus has always been about safety, and I am so pleased that Pete is the first Norm Littler Memorial Safety Award Winner," said DATTCO President and ABA Vice-Chairman Don DeVivo.
"For many years Pete Worthington and Norm Littler were dear friends, and both were instrumental helping to create the Bus Industry Safety Council. It just seems right that this award honoring Norm is presented to Pete. They both shared an unshakeable commitment to making our industry safer," said ABA President and CEO Peter Pantuso. "The work they started years ago continues today. They had a vision and the determination to create an organization where the entire focus is motorcoach safety, and everyone is welcome to collaborate and improve our industry. ABA salutes Pete for this award and we know that, even in retirement, he will continue to be a valued source of experience and wisdom."
About Norm Littler
The late Norm Littler was ABA's longtime Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and the Executive Director of the Bus Industry Safety Council. He had a 41-year career in the motorcoach industry in Washington, D.C., and his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Mr. Littler was considered by government leaders and industry officials to be one of the top experts on transportation safety and regulatory issues.
Mr. Littler helped create the Bus Industry Safety Council. BISC is recognized as the motorcoach industry's top peer-to-peer group, where small, medium and large motorcoach officials can work together to improve the safety of their companies and the industry. BISC holds two annual meetings, the first at ABA's Marketplace in January and the second in June in the Washington, DC, area. For more information, visit http://buses.org/BISC.
The American Bus Association (ABA) is the trade organization of the intercity bus industry, with more than 1,000 motorcoach and tour company members in the United States and Canada. Its members operate charter, tour, regular route, airport express, special operations and contract services. Another 2,800 members are travel and tourism organizations and suppliers of bus products and services who work in partnership with the North American motorcoach industry.

Life with Giggles: My toes are numb!
Love the wedding picture! You look great!
I definitely ate on my wedding day! The food was really good, there's no way I would've passed that up! I didn't eat much of my cake though, I was really nervous about our first dance which we were doing next! I guess I have to wait another 8 months and then I can dig into the top layer that's sitting in our freezer!
I had the best time at my wedding! Yes, I ate, I drank, & I danced the night away. It didn't take that long to say hi to all the guests (or at least most of them - you always miss someone) and then the party started rollin'!
We both ate and danced a TON. We had a very small wedding and it made it possible to really enjoy ourselves.
I am new to your blog. I love it. I am a newlywed too, but I have to say that Hubs and I definately ate. He drank enough for me...all I was craving was soda, but still, it was a great night! Congrats on your anniversary!
