Greek Shrimp with Lemon and Oregano
Here is a quick and easy shrimp recipe that tastes great both on the grill or in a frying pan. It's pretty easy to cook.
It's also high protein, low carb, and relatively low in healthy fats as well.
It's one of my regulars, usually cooked in a pan (although I often use skewers on the grill in the summer too) and on my favorites list! My 93 year old father loves it too (and yes, he lifts).
- One pound shrimp– deveined with shells off. I like extra large shrimp but any size works well. I buy them frozen at the market and they are already deveined. The shells are easy to take off when they thaw and I sometimes leave the very bottom of the shell on the tail to serve as a "handle."
- Lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano or 1/2 tablespoon dried. I prefer fresh but both work very well!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin, the good stuff, preferred)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest. Lemon zest is the outside of the lemon peel. You can use a zester which is fast or a normal grater which is a little slower. Even if you skip the lemon zest this recipe rocks.
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic – either fresh chopped or in the chopped jar you can buy at the market. This is not a garlic heavy recipe.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or any other salt you may happen to have)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried. Yup, both the marinade and dressing have oregano.
Mix the marinade with the shrimp and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 2 hours.
When done marinating, you can either skewer the shrimp and place them on the grill or cook them in a pan like in the picture. Cook on medium high heat for about 2 to 4 minutes, flipping them over and cooking for about another2 to 4 minutes (depending on the size of the shrimp and the heat). It is obvious when the shrimp are done because they will be pink and translucent.
Toss with the dressing, then either squirt them with lemon juice from the lemon wedges or serve them with lemon wedges as is.
- Servings: 4 (4 ounces),
- Calories: 210
- Protein: 23 grams
- Carbs: 1 grams
- Fat: 10.5 grams
Note that the fat is all extremely healthy and good fat from the olive oil. You can reduce the fat by cutting down on the olive oil also, but I do not!
As an appetizer this is great, but as a main course I'll usually have several servings, sometimes served on a salad.
Of course beside good nutrition, you need to workout smart, and get adequate rest to build a great body!

Personal Responsibility September 13, 2018Posted by Fritz in Yachts and other things that float.
Tags: America, forefathers, God, personal responsibilty, Social Darwinism, socialism is evil
add a comment
I am now again moved to speak my mind about the events shaping my world.
The United States is more polarized than ever before. Two distinct philosophies are diametrically opposed and facing off daily. Their positions color their actions towards every area in our society and the divide is growing.
When our country was founded the innate tenants of Capitalism were rooted in the very souls of the men and women who sought to break free from a King who despotically ruled their lives. Given the opportunity to freely make a 'go of it' without oppression or subjugation, our forefathers set into motion a way of life that has proved to be the best system yet devised. They were willing to codify that system in documents that put every man's life, whose name was attached, squarely in jeopardy.
Everything about the Declaration of Independence and Constitution is about allowing those who live under its words a freedom to pursue a path of life, liberty and a pursuit of happiness free of interference from his government or his fellow man. This system is ultimately based on personal responsibility and that is where the divide begins.
One group has chosen to identify as victims—somehow at an immediate disadvantage to the other. They perceive they cannot compete based on a system that allows the individual to rise to whatever level of success they desire. These people must therefore change the system to allow for their success. That change includes restricting the free opportunities that are available to everyone and creating rules and regulations that hope to create an 'even playing field'. That even playing field has become Socialism. A world in which no one can be more successful than another (except for the people running it). A world where personal responsibility, entrepreneurship and self-drive are crushed in favor of a shared collective.
Socialism destroys incentive. The incentive to innovate, to risk capital with the opportunity for financial reward and the incentive for personal growth through free expression. Socialism destroys the individual. Socialism destroys.
The other group revels in personal responsibility. They see it as a fundamental expression borne from the Constitution. Their right to pursue that which is enumerated in that document is their responsibility. They get to decide how or if they choose to take advantage of those rights. They also know they are responsible for whatever results from their actions or non-actions.
Some say putting the onus of responsibility on the individual is unfair as some have advantages others do not. I would agree that some are born into situations that give them less challenges to realizing whatever level of personal achievement they seek. From the earliest days someone was born into this world with more than his neighbor and yet humankind has flourished. As long as the system of allowing anyone to reap the fruits of personal responsibility is in place perceived birthright advantage is just that, perceived.
My social Darwinism view puts me squarely in the personal responsibility camp. I have been called coldhearted and mean to my face and who knows what behind it. To my defense I do believe to those much given, much is expected and for those souls born into distress through no fault of there own (physical and mental deficiencies) I wholeheartedly support providing help. I do not support assisting those whose envious and covetous ways seek to avoid personal responsibility for their own success.
Like my forefathers before me who, by their signatures on the Declaration of Independence, signed their own death warrants had they been captured, I too will fight, to the death if need be, to preserve Capitalism, personal responsibility and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It suddenly struck me that the big difference between liberal and conservative is how they perceive the world. Conservatives see the macro view, worrying themselves with the broad picture. Liberals eschew the big picture and narrow their sights on the micro. Conservatives see the world's problems (and how to fix them) from a much larger perspective. They don't get caught up in the little stuff liberals find as the raison d'etre of one's social situation. Take for instance poverty. Liberals' solution is to take from the rich and redistribute it to the poor. They don't bother to ponder why we have poor people and rather than cure the underlying problems causing poverty they just give them money so they aren't poor anymore. A situation so clearly illustrated by the 'Teach a man to fish' axiom. Conservatives, understanding that if the causes of poverty can be addressed at its source the issue is solved in a more correct and permanent way.
Of course the issue is a complicated one and involves social mores and in some cases difficult and painful choices to be made. Which leads me to my next observation. Liberals tend to be lazy. Humankind's evolution from the primordial soup has been a long and brutal journey. What we are today reflects the paramount in survivability. Darwin's recognition that only the strongest and most viable traits survive the march of time caused angst among liberals when it was postulated and it continues to do so today. Why, our president just charged conservatives with using social Darwinism against liberals.
Surviving, let alone succeeding is hard. Liberal leaders don't want it to be hard (because, as a group, they tend towards laziness) and see an entire class of people they can claim to champion if they can only change the natural laws with liberal legislation.
Of course there are lazy folks of every political persuasion but as a rule, those that are ambitious, hard-working and goal driven, tend to be conservatives. Thus conservatives tend to be the leaders. Yes there are plenty of liberal leaders out there who have figured out how to game the system and rise to a position of authority. And that is where the ideological war is being fought. In order for them to remain in a position of authority they must continually sell the canard that society must cater to the lowest common denominator.
Which brings us back to the micro vs macro world view. Focusing on the bottom will never get you to the top. It is far easier to exist at the base of the mountain than the summit. But for the hardy few who choose to gaze up, the journey is as exciting as the goal.

Lots of economic doomsday stuff out there right now and for good reason. I believe the USA is simply heading for the cliff. No matter how you try to parse it, we are spending too much and eventually we are going to crash and burn. Now depending on who you read/listen to, that cliff is either right in front of us or simply a chimera that, if we wish real hard, will go away. Well, I'm tired of the smoke and mirrors. We need the truth to be told. Unfortunately the truth means our lives are going to get a whole lot tougher before they get better.
The country cannot take baby steps out of this mess. We waited too long and ignored the problems until they passed the point of being able to be corrected with gentle tweaks. Now it's going to take big, bold action—tax reform that affects everyone and by everyone I mean the people who have not been paying. The country cannot afford to rely on the backs of the producing class anymore. Progressive taxation is unfair and now it simply cannot save us no matter how much we soak the wealthy. As unfair as it sounds to many, every American paying the same percentage of their income to the government is the absolute fairest way. I am so done with the argument that that hurts the poor more than the rich. If you believe in capitalism and wish to live under its rules then everyone must have skin in the game.
Yes it sucks to be poor. The simple answer to that is, "don't be poor!" I'll hear all kinds of yelping from the liberals that that just isn't possible. Well I disagree, if we treat everyone the same in regards to taxation the cream will rise to the top and we will finally expose society's losers.
American society has gotten way too soft. We have messed with Mother Nature by creating entitlements. The natural order of things has been disrupted. Throughout history mankind has been controlled by the environment's ability to sustain it. When resources were scarce mankind adapted. Population growth slowed to live within its means. When resources were bountiful, populations grew. By creating entitlements we are artificially supporting an entire class of people who are dooming us all. We must return to the natural order until only the truly needy are left (people born with issues that require social intervention or become truly needy due to accidents or illnesses).
The social safety net needed to deal with this new radically reduced group will be more than met with the increase in tax payers and reduction in those receiving social benefits.
This means judging people. We must make the hard choice to say who does and who does not qualify. The rules have to change. You cannot continue to receive unemployment for 99 weeks! Some people are going to live worse off than they used to…tough!
We are in a transformational period in the world right now. The same thing has happened throughout history. The difference is back then there was not this mindset that 'nobody can lose'. One hundred years ago we didn't have unemployment compensation. If you lost a job you got another one or starved. How the idea of healthcare as a right ever got a foothold in this country is beyond me. Doctors provide a service, just like a plumber. Should I expect subsidized plumbing if I can't afford it? I'm not saying we should ban the indigent from seeking health care, I'm just saying they don't get the level of care that I would get if I can pay for it.
There are more than enough private social service providers in this country to handle the truly needy. If I wasn't forced to give my money to a ridiculously inefficient government I'd be much more inclined to share more of it with productive, effective private organizations. And so would most of America.

It's a weekend for dreamers.
I wonder how many of this readership still dream.
I'm aiming for the Boomers whose freedom to dream was unprecedented in American History.
You know who you are. Fairy tales did come true and they happened to you.
Civil Rights affirmed and expanded.
A Great Society that owned the care of the poor, the sick, and the old.
Ending a war whose victims included not just people, but our moral center.
Equality for women (at least a start).
Stewardship of the environment.
Not a bad legacy for a decade disparaged. Not a bad reminder for a generation dismayed.
I'm aiming for the Boomers whose chances to dream remain alive in retirement.
Frank Smith once wrote, "Reality is a fantasy that works." His idea haunts my world view and sustains what little efforts I make.
Again, as we enter a weekend that celebrates one of our greatest dreamers, as we prepare for the hand-off of one fantasy to another, I wonder how many of us still dream. As I begin my glide path to retirement this June, I reflect upon what I'll do with the dream time afforded me by that decision.
Hope is key(' A good thing, maybe the best of things'). I hope to be purposeful. I hope to build upon the dreams bestowed upon me for my children and theirs. I hope that, no Dream. | Fred Klonsky:

Migraine Cure - A Safe, Natural, and Effective Migraine Treatment
Does a migraine cure actually exist or are the experts right when they tell us there's no definitive cure? Finding out the answer will require us to evaluate things in a rational and controlled fashion. Our first step will be to understand the terminology "migraine" and "cure." As soon as we understand the medical definitions for these words we will be able to figure out whether or not a migraine treatment really exists that

Dear Members of Southside Woman's Club,
We will officially begin a new club year with our opening reception in September and our first meeting of the year in October. I am excited to be leading the club. We have an experienced Board who are enthusiastically preparing for the events and projects planned and willing to entertain any ideas you have to make this year our best ever!
One of the first things on which we must focus our efforts is building our membership. Everything we do is easier the more folks we can get to help, and that help needs to come from new members who can carry on the work we have done for over a century. So, put on your thinking caps, look around your neighborhood and other clubs to which you may belong, your place of worship, friends you may have not seen in awhile, and invite these women to visit a club meeting. Tell them about things we have done and plan to do. Get them interested in helping with something you are doing with the club. If they are artsy, tell them about our great participation in the Federation arts and crafts festival and invite them to join us and participate, too. They don't have to be your age, they can be younger or older, as long as we can foster the enthusiasm we need to grow and keep up the good works we do. Let them know how rewarding our projects have been to us personally as well as to the lives we have affected.
We will have a number of interesting speakers for our meetings, speakers from our community who are experienced in their areas of expertise and willing to explain what they do and how we can help them reach their goals. After the time we have had away from club work this summer, let's renew our efforts, dedicate ourselves to making a difference, and be open to new projects and new ideas. We are, once again, participating in the GFWC FLORIDA President's Project, Operation Smile. During the past year we collected our change in our "Smile Cans" to pay for nine Smile operations plus a few more dollars as seed money for even more Smiles in 2019 - 2020. Together with our sister Clubs in Florida we have funded an amazing number of Smile operations, over $33,000 worth, affecting children in parts of our world where these surgeries are only a dream for children born with cleft lips and palates.
On a personal note, I have chosen United Community Outreach Ministries (UCOM) as my President's Project within our community. This food bank can use our contributions of goods-in-kind, monetary donations, and volunteer service to help folks in the Southside subsist when they are hungry and underserved. More about this worthwhile service as the club year begins.
Again, WELCOME to the 2019-20 Club Year. Let's make it the best year we can through unity, and challenge each other to put our hearts into all that we do, making SWC the best it can possibly be!
With Federation Love,
Julie Babcock, President
Call Cathy (904-642-4315) or
Jac (207-730-1659) for more information.
The Southside Woman's Club of Jacksonville's will be having an on-line NUTS & CANDY Sale as a Fundraising Project, right in time for the holidays.

I can only sign into 1 of the nComputing pods.
I can only sign into 1 nComputing pod at a time. If I sign into another, it kicks the forst one off.
One of two things will cause this issue. 1) You are signed on with the same user account on all computers or 2) A Windows update has caused the problem and needs to be removed.
1) To use the nComputing pods, you can not sign on with the same user account. If a staff, use your own login; if a student, use your individual login. In the case where generic accounts must be used, add the number 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 to the name. We have created multiple generic accounts for this reason.
Example: If User 1 is signed on with testnav1, then user 2 needs to sign on with testnav2. We are in the process of labeling each station so you don't have to guess if the computer next to you is signed on as 1,2,3, or 4 if you have to use the generic accounts.
2) If the above steps do not solve the problem, then most likely a blocked Windows udpate slipped through and needs to be removed. Please follow the steps below or put in a workorder if you're not comfortable doing the following.

Damp Crawlspace
Damp Crawlspace problems are very common and can be very costly if not caught before getting worse and out of control. Nobody wants a moist, damp crawlspace. It may be out of sight and out of mind, but maintaining a clean and dry crawlspace is vital to the health of your home. Damp crawlspaces and basements turn into a breeding grounds for wood-eating fungi, a scourge that destroys more homes than damage from fires and termites combined. Basements infested with fungi are also prone to harmful mold growth and dust mites, which can increase the allergen levels in your home and adversely impact your indoor air quality.
Keeping your crawlspace dry deprives fungi and mold spores of the moisture they need to grow. That's why we offer moisture barrier installation services. Our durable moisture barriers protect your home from the harmful effects of excessive moisture. U.S. Crawlspace installs moisture barriers that help maintain the structural integrity of your home while keeping your air clean. Do you have a damp crawlspace?

Is Virtual Reality a Memorable Experience in an Educational Context?
Learning science concepts are very often challenging, especially when complex concepts are involved. Teachers have recourse to many different types of teaching methods which are however limited when it comes to explaining students about three dimensionality concepts. With these limitations, the teaching methods fall short in increasing the interest of students. It is therefore important to understand how the new generation learns and hence to teach them accordingly. Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technology which can be used for teaching science concepts. VR is innovative and hence easily captures studentsâ?? interest. This paper presents the results of some preliminary studies conducted with a view to showing the extent to which VR is a memorable experience for students, in order to support its use for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) concepts.

GASTONIA — South Point senior Matt Robinson was a freshman on the junior varsity team when Forestview last beat South Point. In that 2014 game, the Jaguars came into Belmont and ended a five-year Raider unbeaten streak in the Big South Conference.
Robinson and the other freshmen were watching from the sidelines, studying their positions as Forestview came away with a 34-31 overtime win.
"I was just watching how intense it was. That was Tanner Muse's senior year. He was getting the defense pumped up. Moe Neal was getting (Forestview's) offense pumped up. It was just a battle, it came down to the trenches, they just finished stronger," Robinson said. "That pushed us this year."
In the three years since that game, those JV freshman watching from the sidelines have grown up into senior leaders for this year's Raiders — and they've done their part to atone for that loss.
Friday night, South Point scored on its first possession when Jake Alexander found the end zone on a 1-yard rush less than three minutes into the game. That was plenty of offense for the Raiders, who shut out Forestview 42-0 and improved to 3-0 on the season.
This is the third straight win for the Raiders in the series since that overtime loss. In 2015, South Point took a 34-7 win. Last year, it was a 45-3 victory.
South Point's triple-option "Redbone" offense did much of its damage through the air in the first half. Scottie Lee completed his four passes off the game, all went for big chunks of yardage, and two floated into the arms of sophomore Ray Grier for touchdowns of 39 and 48 yards.
Lee finished the game 4-for-7 with 156 yards passing. Alexander ran the ball 24 times for 121 yards and two scores, and the Raiders scored their first defensive touchdown of the year when Nate Hamilton scooped up a fumbled punt and returned it for the score.
Coach Adam Hodge said Friday night's performance is an improvement on Week 1, when he was "livid" with his team's play in a 22-14 win over Crest, but even after a shut out, there's always work to do on Monday.
"You just find the little things you did wrong. Instead of looking at the score look at how many yards they got … find every little ol' detail you can find and say hey we can't do that," Hodge said.
Forestview's best chance to score came on the first possession of the third quarter. Jake Lee found Jake Long for a 44-yard pass to put the Jags inside the 5-yard line, but Mario Brandon intercepted Lee's pass on the goal line to end the threat. Lee finished the game 11-for-23 passing with 128 yards. Jake Long led all Forestview receivers with five catches for 77 yards.
Forestview (1-2) will travel to Ashbrook next week.
'We're going to get better, we're going to keep at it. They fought all night long, our guys did, against an extremely good team," said Jaguars coach Chris Medlin. "We'll just keep focusing on us for next week, trying to get better because Ashbrook I'm sure will be a big challenge."
South Point, meanwhile, will host undefeated Clover next week in Belmont. The Blue Eagles' game scheduled for Friday night at home against Hunter Huss was postponed to 7 p.m. Saturday.

BAKERSFIELD (AP) – House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy says thieves broke into his Bakersfield office and that he wants help from the public to identify them.
Photos posted on the Republican representative's Instagram account Monday evening show photos of the men and a large rock on the office floor.
The posting says, "Does anyone know these two guys? They threw a boulder thru our office window and took office equipment."
The photos appear to be from security cameras.
One shows a man in blue and black shorts wearing a pink backpack and a cap.
The other shows a man in dark pants and light-colored shirt carrying a bag.
Bakersfield police spokesman Sgt. Brian Holcombe says the department is working on a statement.
McCarthy's office did not immediately respond to requests for more information.

Revisiting The Limits to Complexity: micro managing your way to macro collapse…
Friday, 4 November, 2011 Leave a comment
…without losing office or wealth!
PLEASE do yourself a favour and read the full article and ask yourself IF there is any basis to trust in Political and Financial institutions when THEIR agenda(s) have ensured that the handling of the financial crisis has fuelled "civil protest" and, may yet, lead to widespread unrest. By recapitalising the architects of financial collapse Governments and Regulators have allowed them to, further, profit from the economic turmoil they created and for which the weakest in society will continue to pay a heavy price for many years to come.
The graphics are my own. They have embedded links, I hope they help!
"…these same banks were also allowed to securitize many of the underlying loans, sell them off to various institutional investors and market derivative instruments to those clients who wished to gain exposure to the global sub-prime mortgage bonanza. When the greatest financial ponzi scheme known to man eventually collapsed in 2007-08 and it was clear that the global economy faced an imminent depression, governments worldwide decided to "respond".What this response amounted to was an attempt to maintain economic and financial complexity by adding on layer after layer of ever-more complex structures, and suspending/manipulating any measure of reality that was in the least bit accurate.
Those layers, in part, took the form of unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy, which funneled trillions worth of taxpayer-guaranteed funds to banks that were deemed too complex too fail. So how did this big dose of complexity fare after the flames died down and the smoke cleared?"
via Simple Planet: Revisiting The Limits to Complexity
Current societies…are characterised by their extreme complexity at a moment in history in which traditional political institutions have lost much of the power, a power which has now passed into the hands of multinational companies with their relocation strategies. In this situation, a growing deregulation can also be observed which, in turn, redounds in the appearance of new risks and uncertainties.

Surveillance video from a northeast Calgary restaurant purportedly captured murder suspect Russell Steven Tessier with his alleged victim just hours before the killing, court heard Tuesday.
Pam Willis, a manager at a Denny's restaurant on 19th Street N.E., testified the video shows two men who were at her diner the evening of March 15, 2007.
One of her waitresses, Fengjie Li, identified Tessier as one of the two men.
Prosecutors Britta Kristensen and Jillian Pawlow will argue the video puts Tessier with fatal shooting victim Allan Berdahl at the restaurant shortly before 6 p.m. on that date.
At 8:30 the next morning, Berdahl's body was found in a snowy ditch along a gravel road east of Carstairs and Highway 2.
He'd been shot five times in the head.
Tessier, 51, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing.
Willis said she had to deal with a complaint that evening from one of the two men, who claimed he had mould on his hamburger bun.
She said the customer was sitting with another man, later identified by Li as Tessier, who tried to smooth things over.
Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Rebecca Snukal, Willis insisted the exchange happened March 15, 2007, even though the time stamp on the video indicated it was 36 hours earlier.
Li testified the man with Tessier, whom the Crown will argue was Berdahl and has been described as a drifter and con man, regularly complained about service.
"One guy's always trouble," Li said.
"He liked to complain."
But she said Tessier was never a problem.
"He's a nice guy to me," Li said.
"As a customer, he's always nice."
In her opening address on Monday, Kristensen said the two men were friends for less than a year and Berdahl occasionally stayed at Tessier's residence.
She said the motive for Berdahl's killing is unclear, but it may have related to a vintage car the two men jointly owned.
Berdahl was to head to Winnipeg the day he was slain and may have been planning on taking the 1960 Ambassador car with him, Kristensen told jurors.
"There was friction between the men over that car in the weeks leading up to the murder," she said.
"Was Mr. Berdahl planning to drive the car to Winnipeg?" the prosecutor said.
"You will hear that Mr. Berdahl was a bit of a drifter, a liar and a con artist."
Tessier, who is free on bail, was arrested in December 2015 for what was then a cold-case homicide.
His trial, before a three-woman, nine-man jury, is scheduled to last three weeks.

Whodunnit – American style
I have to confess that I'm not a regular crime novel reader- but I know someone who is. Arthur is very keen on Ian Rankin and Stephen Booth, but he's been trying out Patricia Cornwell and James Patterson lately. "Blow Fly"(1) is Patricia Cornwell's twelfth novel in the Kay Scarpetta series. Scarpetta was, in previous novels, the Chief Medical Examiner for the state of Virginia, but has now moved to Florida to be a private forensic consultant. She soon becomes involved in a complicated case of a woman found dead holding a set of keys, but then receives news that the "Wolfman", who is on death row is demanding to see her. After being accustomed to English crime writers, Arthur found the style a little unusual at first and thought the very short chapters a little odd (there are 124 all together), but enjoyed the book overall. Have you read it and, if so, what did you think? Talking about chapters, "You've been Warned" (2), the latest from James Patterson and Howard Roughen has 110 chapters (is this the way most American crime writers write?). Arthur tells me he really enjoyed this, but I have a feeling he still prefers Ian Rankin above all others. Who is your favourite?
A bit of nostalgia
Now another confession – I'm a railway buff and enjoy a browse through the transport section of any bookshop. Paul Atterbury has produced a series of books which evoke nostalgia for railways of times gone by. Following "Branch Line Britain", "Along Country Lines" and "Tickets Please", comes "Along Lost Lines" (3). Like the previous three, this is pure railway nostalgia, but not for those who want much in the way of detail. The book is crammed with railway photographs, reproductions of railway postcards, tickets, ephemera (such as London Midland and Scottish Railway Shunting Horn Code) and colourful posters. If you like a good wallow in nostalgia – even if you're not a great railway fan – then you'd probably like this. As it's the fourth in the series though, you get the impression that the author is running out of themes and at times the book is just a sort of miscellany. My copy had an unfortunate printing error. All the text on page 92 is repeated on page 94, though the accompanying photographs are different. If you're buying, check that out first before you check it out, if you see what I mean.
National year of reading
Another National Year of Reading is almost upon us, in an attempt to get more people reading. It seems hard to believe that the previous NYR was ten years ago – or am I mistaken? The "year" lasts from April to December ; the months of January to March are counted as planning months. Each of the nine months has a theme and numerous events around the country are being planned as you read this. Presumably the events will connect with the monthly themes – here's a list of the them (taken from the NYR website )
• April: Read all about it! Links to newspapers and magazines; library membership campaign.
• May: Mind and Body. Reading and learning at work. The knock-on benefits of reading.
• June: Reading escapes. Holiday and summer reads.
• July: Rhythm and Rhyme. Poems, poetry and lyrics.
• August: Read the Game. The influence of sport and how this can help promote reading.
• September: You are what you read. Cultural, personal and local identity.
• October: Word of Mouth. Storytelling, reading out loud, reading together, reading aloud, live literature.
• November: Screen reads. Exploring the diversity of reading and writing; scripts, TV and films.
• December: Write the future. Writing, texting, blogging etc.
The website gives information about the events and you can search on a map to find out if there are any events in your area. I clicked on Mansfield and Nottingham, but I found no details of anything about to happen or planned for the future. It might be worth enquiring at your local library if any events are planned and if so why are they not on the website?. I have to say that so far the build up to the previous National Year of Reading had a greater impact here in Nottinghamshire, if my memory serves me right, but if you Google National Year of Reading 2008 you'll find that plenty of other local authorites and some booksellers are planning events. Is anything happening in Notts. ?
Oddest book title

Formerly known as Ruxie Lake it was renamed Emerald for its clean, beautiful, spring fed water. In the 1920's the Royal Municipality #465 applied to the Department of Natural Tourism for the lease on Emerald Lake. In the 1930's this lease was turned over to the Avebury Community Club. By as early as 1932 the club noted a substantial increase in the use of the resort. They recorded 30 to 40 campers spending the entire summer. In the 1950's the lease for Emerald Lake Resort was turned over to the Leask Branch of the Canadian Legion.

Du Contant de la Molette, Philippe
- Philippe Vendrix
(b La Côte-Saint-André, Aug 29, 1737; d Paris, July 24, 1794). French scholar. After his studies at the seminary in Vienne and his ordination, Du Contant settled in Paris, where he took his doctorate at the Sorbonne in 1765. He was vicar-general of Vienne in 1789, when he had to abandon his post during the Revolutionary disturbances. He fled to Paris and went into hiding, but was discovered, imprisoned and guillotined. A specialist in Hebrew studies, he left a Traité sur poésie et la musique des hébreux, pour servir d'introduction aux pseaumes expliqués (Paris, 1781) which later appeared in Italian as Trattato sopra la poesia e la musica degli ebrei (Venice, 1788). The treatise, although synthesizing the studies of Jewish music made since the time of Mersenne, Calmet and Lamy, is nonetheless experimental. Du Contant was influenced by the theories of Roussier (Mémoire sur la musique des anciens...

2 hospitalized in shootings ID'd
Man killed on Madison not yet named; no arrests made
JAMIE DUFFY | The Journal Gazette
Fort Wayne police Friday identified two people injured in Thursday night's shooting on Madison Street.
AĀman who died from gunshot wounds has not yet been identified by the Allen County coroner.
According to a news release from Sgt. Jim Seay, Fort Wayne Police Department public information spokesman, Jason Sandy, 41, is in critical condition and Rachel Burtz, 33, is in serious condition. Both were shot inside the home.
Neighbors who witnessed the aftermath of the shooting said they saw one man lying dead in the grass outside the home close to the corner of Madison and Francis streets. They also said they saw a woman come out of the home holding her arm.
The shooting occurred about 9:15 p.m.
One neighbor who walked up to the corner where many neighbors had gathered talked about his friend "J" and Jason, calling him his best friend.
He said Sandy lived in the home.
No arrests have been made.
Fort Wayne police are asking anyone with information on the shooting to call Crime Stoppers at 436-7867.
If the man's death is ruled a homicide, it will be the 33rd in Allen County this year.

Some Albuquerque, N.M., elected officials are accusing the Justice Department of political gamesmanship by withholding millions of dollars in federal funds over the city's sanctuary city status that prevents the sharing of information with immigration authorities.
John Anderson, the top federal prosecutor for the district of New Mexico, penned an op-ed in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday saying additional federal funding would come with conditions, including complying with a federal law that makes it illegal to prevent government employees from sharing information about peoples' immigration status with federal law enforcement.
"We just won't do that. They're using this as a political stunt," said Democratic Councilor Pat Davis.
Anderson noted that 2019 was Albuquerque's deadliest year with 82 homicides recorded. He said additional funding would help curb the violence. Albuquerque officials said the DOJ is holding out on a promise of more federal funds to get the city to reconsider its sanctuary policies.
In this Nov. 12, 2019, file photo, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, left, stands with other federal and officials at a news conference at the office of the Bernalillo County Sheriff in Albuquerque, N.M. New Mexico's most populous city stands to lose out on millions of dollars in crime-fighting grants due to its status as a sanctuary city, but some elected officials said Wednesday the U.S. Justice Department is holding out the promise of more federal funding to get Albuquerque to reconsider policies that prevent the sharing of information with federal immigration authorities. (AP Photo/Mary Hudetz, File)
"As a matter of principle, Albuquerque should use every tool at its disposal to reduce violent crime and make our city safer," Anderson wrote.
In 2018, the city adopted a resolution sponsored by Davis and Councilor Klarissa Peña that reaffirmed Albuquerque as an immigrant-friendly city. It prevents federal immigration officials from entering city-operated areas and restricts employees from collecting information about a person's immigration status.
Albuquerque has not applied for the funding, which is available under the Operation Relentless Pursuit program announced in December to combat violent crime in several cities. Up to $71 million in grant funding was promised to help with hiring new officers, paying overtime and providing equipment and technology.
The city is already in a battle with the Justice Department over funding to reduce the backlog of untested rape kits. The Trump administration has heavily criticized sanctuary cities and has sought to withhold federal funds from municipalities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
Attorney General William Barr has brought lawsuits against New Jersey and King County, Washington, claiming they are violating federal law by refusing to share information about criminal suspects who are undocumented immigrants.
"When we are talking about sanctuary cities, we are talking about policies that are designed to allow criminal aliens to escape," Barr recently said at the National Sheriff's Association 2020 Winter Legislative and Technology Conference in Washington, D.C.
"These policies are not about people who came to our country illegally but have otherwise been peaceful and productive members of society," he added. "Their express purpose is to shelter aliens whom local law enforcement has already arrested for other crimes. This is neither lawful nor sensible."
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported last week that hundreds of Southern California jail inmates whom the agency had detainer requests for were re-arrested for assault, rape, child sex offenses and other charges over a two-year period once they were released.
Fox News' Gregg Re and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

From the very inception of human civilization, marketing has been an essential tool. Think about it – when certain people became chieftains or rulers over large swaths of land, they had to offer a justification for why they should lead rather than others. Or when small communities started to trade their goods, they had to explain why their wheat or sheep were better than the towns down the road. In both cases, some kind of marketing was occurring, because of marketing deals with managing relationships, generally relationships either of exchange or of power.
According to the American Marketing Association, marketing is defined as "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offers that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large." That is a wide set of relationships! In today's world, marketing is absolutely essential for any business to survive and thrive and also continues to be essential in the world of politics.
Though marketers traditionally identified customers, developed advertising campaigns, and oversaw distribution and sales, nowadays marketing professionals utilize insights from the social sciences, neuro and social psychology, economics, sociology, and mathematics, among other disciplines, to identify target audiences, refine messaging and product development, and to cultivate economic and political or social relationships. And many large companies don't just hire a marketing team to work on the business side of things: they will hire individuals with marketing backgrounds to be part of the public-facing aspect of the company.
Ever heard of a "public relations specialist"? Well, that's just a marketing expert working on the public or social face of a company or individual. With the boom in social media and other emerging technologies, having an inhouse public relations or marketing expert who is versed in the latest technologies and how they can be deployed for marketing purposes is an absolute must.
In fact, the most cutting edge areas of marketing today occurs where science, marketing, and technology intersect. Current innovations in the world of marketing include things like smart mirrors, which allow customers to take selfies using a mirror that can impose an outfit from a company catalog over the customer. Virtual footwear, which is similar to smart mirrors, allows shoppers to view footwear from a variety of angles, and even beer brewers are experimenting with interactive bottles that light up to enhance the drinking experience.
Of course, digital marketing has become a central plank of almost every business because of the prevalence of online and social media platforms for connecting and commerce. In many cases, E-commerce and social media marketing have displaced traditional marketing techniques. Methods like search engine optimization and search engine marketing have become essential elements of business, particularly because of the power of search engines like Google.
Another strategy that marketing professionals have adopted is the influencer marketing campaign, which is effectively the technique of getting an individual with a large social media footprint to endorse, use, and even just mention a product. This practice can actually result in a spike in sales.
If you are interested in obtaining an advanced degree in marketing, then you will also be happy to hear that job prospects in the industry are quite good, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting that jobs will grow by at least 10% over the next decade, which is above the average for job growth as a whole. And, of course, the even better news is that marketing professionals make a hefty paycheck. The average pay for a marketing professional is $132,620 annually, which makes sense given how essential marketers are to a thriving and healthy business.

Ranking Methodology: "It's science!"
The researchers and writers at Best Master's Degrees don't make recommendations based upon preference – we back our rankings with science. Here's a quick breakdown of how we organize ranking data:
- Finances (40%)
- Academic Rigor (35%)
- Student Gratification (25%)
Nearly half of the data used to score each ranking involves finances and are acquired from sources such as the National Center for Education Statistics, the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Education, Glassdoor, and PayScale. Financial data encompasses the cost of tuition, fees, and class supplied; the average price of living; access to financial aid and social services; and lastly, the projected annual salary acquired from degree outcomes and income for loan repayment. The second-largest category of information involves the quality of education, how competitive degree applicants should be for consideration, and how exclusive a degree program is overall. The final 25% of collected data is dependent on student and alumni reviews from sources such as PayScale, Rate My Professor, and Students Review.
