We Need To Talk
"We need to talk." What do you think of when you hear those words? I've been realizing over the last several months that, when I hear something like that, I immediately assume the worst. I worry, sometimes for days, that either a) I'm in trouble or b) someone close to me is in trouble. But… Continue reading We Need To Talk

Anniversary Reactions
I'm currently walking through a couple days that constitute a mild "anniversary reaction" for me. Basically, something somewhat traumatic happened one year ago, inciting temporary shock and sadness.

text: - We summarize a search for the top quark with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) in a sample of p̄p collisions at s =1.8 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 19.3 pb-1. We find 12 events consistent with either two W bosons, or a W boson and at least one b jet. The probability that the measured yield is consistent with the background is 0.26%. Though the statistics are too limited to establish firmly the existence of the top quark, a natural interpretation of the excess is that it is due to tt̄ production. Under this assumption, constrained fits to individual events yield a top quark mass of 174±10-12+13 GeV/c2. The tt̄ production cross section is measured to be 13.9-4.8+6.1 pb. © 1994 The American Physical Society.

myGC PORTAL
We're at the close of the 2017-2018 school year, and it has been a difficult year in some ways. We are all heartbroken about the recent tragedy in Santa Fe, which is so close to us. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and to the entire school district that suffered such a loss. We admire their courage to finish the year, and we support their efforts to stand strong together as they work through the healing process.
Our district started school late this year due to the Hurricane Harvey, which devastated so much of our area. Many of those affected by Harvey have moved back into their homes, although some are still working toward that goal. During this difficult time, we saw the community work together to rescue those trapped in their homes, assist families in removing their personal belongings, help with demolition, set up donation drives, and feed families and volunteers. The spirit of giving was all around us and served as proof that we live in a community where people care about each other.
Once school got underway, we have seen our students excel in academics, fine arts, sports, robotics, MCJROTC and in many other areas, showing their resilience. Nearly 1,500 seniors will walk across the stage to accept their diplomas this year. Our students have been offered more than $11,130,000 in scholarships, and more keep rolling in. We are fortunate that they are graduating from one of our excellent Goose Creek CISD high schools, prepared for college and/or a career. A third of our IMPACT Early College High School seniors received their associate degrees even before they were awarded their high school diplomas, and several more are within six hours of completion.
Our new Stuart Career Tech High School, also an early college high school, opened in the fall with a freshman class and four academies – Advanced Automotive, Environmental Conservation, Culinary Arts and Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance. SCTHS provides an educational program which allows students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a vocational setting.
Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who supported our 2018 Bond, especially the Citizens Facilities Planning Committee. These volunteers spent many hours assessing and prioritizing the needs of our district. This work will be utilized moving forward as the district growth continues to challenge our ability to serve our community.
I hope you will have the opportunity to spend time with family and friends, relax and rejuvenate or even catch up on a few projects this summer. Thank you for all that you do every day for our students, our schools and our community. I look forward to hearing about your summer break next fall. Aloha!

Click on a question below to see the answer. If you have a question about this model that is not answered below, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
From time to time, customers who are installing KI-229 RMIs will need a 26VAC inverter to operate the RMI in their aircraft. 26VAC is required to excite the KI-229. The Mid-Continent MD26-28 inverter is recommended.
The use of a Radio Magnetic Indicator in an aircraft offers several benefits that improve navigation situational awareness and pilot workload.
A very basic ADF indicator without a moveable compass card simply points to a selected beacon. The pilot must calculate the bearing needed based on the aircraft's current heading. Most if not all ADF indicators without a knob to turn the compass ca rd are very old and obsolete.
Most ADF indicators include a knob to turn the present heading so that the bearing to the beacon can be read against the compass card.
The RMI provides all of the ADF indicator functions with automatic rotation of the compass card via the aircraft's compass system. Therefore, whenever the aircraft turns then the compass card will turn.
An RMI always automatically points to the bearing to a beacon. This is a more logical form of indication even over VOR type of navigation since there is no OBS, To-From, radials, etc.
More advanced RMI indicators offer even more flexibility and features by offering dual needle for ADF and VOR bearing and multiple ADF/VOR navigation.
Negotiating the exchange price of a unit only limits the allowable repair cap for the core unit. Southeast Aerospace's exchange transactions are based on the return of economically repairable core unit. Once the core is received and evaluated, the core repair cost incurred by SEA cannot exceed 75% of the original exchange price. That is, it cannot cost SEA more than 75% of the original OH/SV exchange price collected from the customer. Therefore, when and if an SEA exchange price is discounted, there is a risk that additional charges may be assessed once the core is returned and evaluated.
For more information, please refer to these other Exchange FAQs
No, but the newer Bendix/King KI-229 provides all of the same features, interfaces and more compared to the KI-226. Originally manufactured in the 1970s, the KI-226 is obsolete, unavailable, and not supportable.

Posted by pancho from pool0109.cvx24-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net (220.127.116.11) on Saturday, January 11, 2003 at 0:00AM :
One thing seems constant about our patriots; they all believe someone is out to stop them in their national aspirations. I think they mistake legitimate concerns that their national aspirations cause dissention and division in Muslim states that have had to contend with Western greed for oil at any price...and who have not been above using religion as a wedge issue...I think they confuse this with hostility or suspicion for them AS Assyrians...simple law-abiding Assyrians. They neglect to factor in their Christian religion and how this can sour relations between them and the Muslim majority...sort of what law abiding Americans have to fear from being loudly, devotedly and unabashedly Muslim...not too wise right now. Well that's been the case for Christians in the MidEast for some time now...has nothing to do being just Assyrian. It's the Christian thing that screws us...yet again.
These patriots of ours are passionate Christians...which is the thing that makes them suspect...no one has any reason to dislike or distrust them for being Assyrian...but for being Christian, Hell YES! And for good reason.
As Assyrians we have no claim of any kind on any part of the MidEast...what court would we go to...and who's going to set such a precedent; that people who lost their country 2000 plus years ago have a "right" to it because it was taken from them...what piece of land HASN'T been taken away from someone else? This is silliness and dumbness parading as a National Question. The consolation is that none of these patriots dare make this claim in public...where anyone can hear them. They aren't THAT dumb!
No Muslim state is going to give any Christians a corner of anything...period! No one is trying to frustrate any "Assyrian" rights to anything...our boys are hiding their Christian resentments and ambitions behind an Assyrian identity...making claims and assertions as Assyrians when their real agenda is a Christian vengeance thing.
No one has anything to fear from Assyrians today...except other Assyrians. Our own boys can post anywhere but only go where it's safe for them...and these guys are going to challenge anyone? These guys are going to argue their case before the world when three hostile words or an opposite point of view...or any challenge at all to their National Question, sends them scurrying for the shelter of mama's kipti arms.
No one denies any Assyrian anything, except a "right" to an Assyria again...and NO ONE is going to give a Christian a damn thing in the MidEast...why the hell should they? How does a religion have any territorial claims? Christianity has been driven out of the Mideast...just as Islam was driven from Spain and kept from France. Would Spain ever consider giving Seville or Toledo "back" to the Muslims?
We will never get back anything in Iraq, and without Nazi help the Jews would never have gotten a country either. As Assyrians we are welcome to live in the MidEast...as Christian Assyrians we will always be suspect because of our devotion to a religion over our ethnic roots or loyalty to a Muslim State...a religion we share with the people robbing and killing those people for 200 years now. As Assyrians in Iraq we are free to obey the laws and live and work as best we can. What more can citizens expect of a country?

A CurtainUp New Jersey Review
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Popular film musicals are not noted for their successful transition to the stage, although the reverse has generally been true. Neither Gigi nor the adored Singin' in the Rain could recapture the same glow and magic in their second incarnation. So it was not surprising that Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), one of the most lauded and memorable films from the golden age of film musicals, should share a similar fate when it opened (and quickly closed) as a Broadway show in 1982. The show, which has popped up in regional and community theaters over the years, went through some re-shaping and tinkering for the production at the Goodspeed Opera House in 2005. The good news is that the ebullient and melodic Gene de Paul (music)/Johnny Mercer (lyrics) musical (with additional songs written for the stage production by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn) does what it intends to do: Keep a smile on your face as your palms are kept busy applauding the dancing.
Director Scott Schwartz has done everything but stand on his own hands to make the Northwest frontier setting come alive with the robust vitality. This delightfully boisterous, rollicking adaptation of Stephen Vincent Benet's Sobbin' Women is a humorous tale of how seven love-starved backwoodsmen are eventually tamed by the women they have adducted. As in the film, it is the vigorous dancing by the high-spirited pugnacious brothers, augmented by their enthusiastic brides that gives the show its breathe (or is it gale?) of fresh air. That the rest of the rather old fashioned show, particularly the book, may seem conceptually stale is a point joyously offset by the disarming performances from the two leads and a very large supporting cast.
Choreographer Patti Columbo, who created the dances for the Goodspeed Opera House production, keeps the machos and the maidens almost continuously airborne. There is scarcely a whoop-up, hoe-down, ballet or social dance that doesn't end in a rib-tickling brawl. But there is plenty of romancin' too, as Michelle Dawson, as the feisty but charming Milly the No. 1 bride teaches Edward Watts, as the virile but rough-around-the-edges Adam the No. 1 brother some bedside manners.
All of the seven brothers —, as played by Randy Bobish, Luke Longacre, Karl Warden, Travis Kelley, Eric Sciotto and Christian Delcroix— make an impression with their comically individualized personalities, but it is their energy and those of the rival town suitors of the brides that keep the energy high especially in the thrilling and acrobatic "The Challenge Dance." One of the cleverest and funniest moments occurs just as the brothers arrive at the town social to woo the maidens ("Goin' Courtin'"). They are suddenly all comely, clean shaven and neatly dressed. Up to this point the brothers not only look like they haven't groomed or bathed in a year but behave as if they are mentally challenged. Talk about instant makeover. The audience responded with applause to their almost split second transformation.
Dawson and Watts are perfect in their roles and compliment each other well. They sing beautifully together, most notably the ballad "Love Never Goes Away." The melodious, toe-tapping score, including "Bless Your Beautiful Hide", "Wonderful, Wonderful Day", and "Glad That You Were Born,quot;, is gingerly played by the house orchestra under the musical direction of Tom Helm. Designer Jess Goldstein's puts the cast in some colorful 19th century western garb. Anna Louizos's awesome scenic designs, especially the dense green forest of tall trees that part to reveal various locations, including the cabin in the woods, and the town square are awesome, as eye-catching as all "those beautiful hides." An avalanche opens Act II, but it is the bare-chested male dancers in one scene that get the bigger oohs and ahs from the audience. This is a terrific show for the whole family to enjoy, so don't put it off.
Easy-on-the budget super gift for yourself and your musical loving friends. Tons of gorgeous pictures.

Evolution Hooks Up with Italian Casino for In-House Studio. There is no doubt that live casinos are increasing in popularity, so much so that many are already suggesting that it is the inevitable future of all online casinos. Whether you agree or not, currently live casinos are seen as the next big thing, and the speed at which they are developing is impressive to say the least.
Evolution Studios, known to be the pioneers of live casino technology, are making great strides across the world as they desperately attempt to keep up with increasing demand. The online casino headlines recently read; Evolution Hooks Up with Italian Casino for In-House Studio, which marked yet another dramatic leap forward for the live casino industry. Let's take a closer look at this headline and investigate some of the finer details of the occurrence.
Strictly A Business Deal
The first thing to keep in mind when considering the headline; Evolution Hooks Up with Italian Casino for In-House Studio, is that this is not the first such deal of its kind. Evolution recently struck a similar deal in Spain, providing live casino broadcasts that are presented in Spanish to local customers. The major difference between the two deals, however, and the primary reason for Evolution choosing Italy, is the gambling restrictions of the individual countries.
In Spain Evolution was required to set up their broadcasting studio in a licensed area, since laws in the country demand that all business activities related to gambling be in a designated zone. In Italy no such laws are in place, meaning way less red tape, and consequently that Evolution could set up a studio pretty much anywhere they pleased. They chose the Casino Campione d'Italia, who were more then happy to accommodate them. This means, of course, that live casino broadcasts are now available in Italian for local customers, or any Italian speaking players around the world.
Live Casino Future
The Evolution Hooks Up with Italian Casino for In-House Studio headline indicates a few things for the future of live casinos, all of them positive. Consider the cost of setting up a broadcasting studio. Not just the initial cost, but the running cost. It is not a cheap endeavour, and that Evolution is willing to keep making such vast investments can only mean that live casinos are set to keep expanding at a phenomenal rate.
There is already talk of more studios being setup in other parts of the world, and this seems to indicate that the future is all but set in stone; online casinos are almost certainly all going to be live. Yes, some parts of the world do not yet have the internet infrastructure to support live casinos, but this will surely change given enough time, meaning that live casinos will soon appear across the globe. If you want to access a live casino now, even if there is not a broadcast studio in your country, simply search your favourite casinos and look for the option. Live casinos are accessible from everywhere, but stream stability may not be perfect, depending on your current location.

social media optimization
Social Media Marketing Agency
What is social media marketing
Social Media Marketing is the art and science of building an influential personality for a brand on social networking platforms on the internet by posting relevant and brilliant content and communicating with audiences on behalf of the brand. The reason why SMM is art is that ideas for the same are derived by allowing the mind to get creative and explorative. Various minds in a social media marketing agency can come up with hundreds of ideas and implement them in even more ways. One thought leads to another, making this art so diverse and limitless. Also, marketing on these networks can also be called a science. The reason being that it's an organized body of knowledge. Various concepts, rules, etc. have been formed as a result of research and trial and error. Social behavior on these platforms is studied resulting in data and statistics that help us understand these crowds more accurately. Also, with this data information is created to know more about what these platforms are and what their purpose is. Being such a powerful tool to communicate, it has gained huge importance for both individuals and brands. Let's get into the details of how these networks and marketing for the same are important…
Why is social media marketing important
Humans are social animals. Communication is and has been a necessity for us. Communication has existed in three forms, verbal, non-verbal and oral. A business needs to communicate its vision, its products, and its offerings to the general public not only for sales to happen, but also to invite people to work for them. If there is no communication, the business crumbles. Fast forward to 2019, communication in these three forms has evolved drastically, with the development of technology and the heaps of knowledge and information gained by humans over decades. Today, businesses adopt various media of communication which incorporate verbal, non-verbal and oral communication such as text, audio, video, and images. Social media sites are built in such a way that people who sign up for such sites can get creative with media and post it for other users to see and comment about. Users get to express themselves on these platforms to a large audience of other users and get to communicate with them, either related to a particular expression or otherwise. As a result, due to the development and easy availability of technology, the majority of the world is on these platforms. People are more active on these platforms than they are in real life. Therefore, brands need to build their personality and let audiences know what the brand is all about. This will not only create brand awareness but will make it easier for the brand to provide value to their audiences in exchange for currency or any form of compensation. Let's investigate the details of how social media optimization can affect our marketing and sales…
How social media marketing affects your marketing and sales
Marketing is the study and activity of building healthy and strong relationships with potential and current customers of the brand. Putting these relationships in use to generate revenue is what sales are all about. Sales are usually after marketing and it is better this way to ensure customer loyalty, satisfaction, and better brand recognition and image. As discussed before social media is a very powerful platform for brands to communicate with relevant audiences. Marketing needs media of communication, therefore marketing efforts can be amplified on these networking sites. Marketing campaigns to attract the attention of required audiences can be grabbed and connections can be established with these audiences. These connections will eventually turn into relationships. These connections can further be strengthened and polished by stressing on better marketing and communication. Ultimately these relationships can then be used to sell products and prove that the brand can provide value and is worth every penny spent. Therefore, a social media agency carries out thorough research when it comes to marketing on these platforms. Data is formed from this research and this data is then kept in mind while formulating strategies for social media optimization. Let's get into the details of this whole process…
Diving deep into the process
The first stage of this process is Research. Efforts are made by an online marketing agency into carrying out research to answer various questions such as what is the brand about, which niche it belongs to, what kind of audiences does it need, etc. Data found in this research is sorted and decisions are made. One of the most important decisions made with this data is the kind of platform to sign up to. Various such networks have different purposes. Some are made for formal or business relations, some are for informal relations. Therefore, the platform that matches the brand's personality, industry and niched must be considered. Once the brand has chosen the right platform and has signed up for it, it's time to generate content. Content is key for the brand to express itself and communicate. Hence content is created according to the personality of the audience, the niche targeted and the rules and regulations of the network. The brand is now established, audiences have been attracted and now communication can be done with them even more closely, building a stronger relationship. To help the brand survive online and keep it everlasting, this process must never end and must be continuous. As a result, constant reporting is done to learn about any changes in the behavior of audiences and how they are perceiving the brand and its content. The points are kept in mind and necessary changes are made.

S. C. Gibb holds that some mental events enable physical events to take place by acting as 'double preventers' which prevent other mental events from effecting change in the physical domain. She argues that this enables a dualist account of psychophysical interaction consistent with the causal relevance of mental events, their distinctness from physical events, the causal closure of the physical and the exclusion of systematic overdetermination. While accepting the causal powers metaphysic, this paper argues that: Closure is maintained only on the assumption of an implausible pre-ordained harmony between preventing and double-preventing mental events. Distinctness is preserved only at the cost of positing brute unexplained powers of mental and physical events to causally interact with each other. Exclusion is systematically violated in a substantial number of everyday cases. The case for Relevance made by the Double Prevention model is accordingly too weak to sustain a dualist approach to mental causation.
The syntactic and semantic properties of the into-causative construction, involving the pattern 'V NP into V-ing', has been studied in some detail, but its historical development has received less attention. This paper looks at the historical shifts in the construction with much more representative and robust corpora than have been used for previous studies. Based on nearly 11,440 tokens from more than 950 million words of text, the paper considers several important changes in the lexical, syntactic, and semantic properties of the construction. The study also establishes the value of large, diverse historical corpora and their role in researching syntactic and semantic change.

Chalisa Lewis buried
In the months before her death, her pastor said Saturday, the teen came to him beset with problems and wasn't the same bubbly girl he was accustomed to.
By Ken Alltucker
Sun Staff
Friends and family members of a slain 14-year-old Bremerton girl gathered Saturday afternoon at the Lincoln Avenue Bible Church in Bremerton for her funeral.
While family shared anecdotes about Chalisa Lewis, they also urged Bremerton Police to apprehend the person responsible for her death.
The case has baffled authorities. After police conducted an extensive three-week search for the missing Lewis, a man found her body last week washed ashore at Discovery Bay near Seattle.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death was homicide by salt-water drowning. Bremerton Police say they are interviewing "a person of interest" who knew Lewis, but they have no suspect.
The ordeal has been difficult for Lewis' mother, Lisa Strickland, who yesterday was unable to read a poem Lewis wrote.
Following a eulogy by Pastor Phillip Morris, Strickland walked to the altar, passing her daughter's pink closed casket, which was topped with flowers and a doll.
"I'm going to try to read this poem Chalisa wrote," she said, crying. She unfolded it, gazed at the words and broke down. "I can't do it. I can't. I'm sorry. I just can't do it."
Strickland composed herself and read a different poem. "I want her to come back, to see her one more time," she said.
Several of her classmates at Bremerton Junior High shared stories about Lewis, describing her as a gregarious, fun-loving girl.
Dina Molina, 13, said Lewis was her best friend. She described times she joined Lewis in church activities and said she was delighted when her mother had a chance to meet Lewis.
Classmate Laila Vermeers told the 300 people attending of how Lewis always made a point of calling her the day before her birthday.
"Tomorrow will be my birthday," Vermeers said, then she scurried away from the microphone.
Several other family members talked about Lewis, including her aunt, who said Lewis inexplicably called her much more than usual in the past few months.
Pastor Morris also explained the bond he held with Lewis. He said it was only three months ago that Lewis, beset with problems, confided in him. He said she wasn't the bubbly girl he was accustomed to, rather a girl with grave spiritual questions.
"She began to see life from a different perspective," Morris said.
Following the speech by Morris, a small procession of people lined up to describe Lewis. Some were classmates. Some were family. Some were strangers who shared with the audience stories of abduction.
Almost all were puzzled by the final act of violence that claimed Lewis's life.
"Now I hope the law does what it is supposed to do," said Murrell Strickland, Lewis' stepfather.
He said he was frustrated by the trickling of information police have given the family.
"We're sitting back here, and we don't know anything," Strickland said. "They should figure out what they can tell us without blowing the investigation. Tell us something to ease our pain."
Following the funeral, many congregated at the church's reception room. There was a photo collection, outlining the stages of Lewis' life.
People hugged Lisa Strickland and whispered their condolences.
"Chalisa would have loved this," said Strickland, referring to the attention of the people.
Morris seemed to be particularly shaken by Lewis's death. He said, "It was a death that made no sense in a seemingly senseless world."
There has been a memorial fund set for the family of Chalisa Lewis. Donations may be made to Kitsap Bank, Chalisa Lewis Fund.

1/2 tsp cooking soda or eno
2 1/2 cups of curd whisked ( approx)
Take a pan, add some oil, let It heat up, crackle mustard seeds first, add the udad dal, Chana dal, chopped chillies and then sauté for few seconds , add the broken wheat rava and roast till golden and aromatic.
Let it cool and then add the whisked curd , salt , the kasoori methi crushed , till a cake like batter consistency is made. Approx 2 1/2 cups of curd may be required.
After 15 minutes , add the cooking soda or eno, stir and add some more curd to make batter of pouring consistency. steam the rava batter by making idlis in greased idli moulds.
Steam for 12 minutes and check to see if done .

* adding crushed kasoori methi is optional.
* broken wheat rava may be powdered to fine rava texture if you wish.
Broken wheat is a wheat product made from whole raw wheat kernels which are crushed or cut into smaller pieces. There are a large number of uses for cracked wheat, and the food makes a popular dietary supplement in many cultures. It is made by milling wheat grains coarsely. Wheat is cleaned and husked and then processed to the required size. It is highly nutritious as it does not undergo refining.
A similar product, bulgur wheat, is also made by cracking wheat kernels. Bulgur, however, is made from wheat kernels which are steamed and toasted before cracking, so that they develop a rich, nutty flavor. Bulgur also requires minimal cooking, since it is already partially cooked. Cracked wheat, on the other hand, uses whole raw wheat grains. When the broken wheat is cooked, it has a very hearty, warm aroma and a grainy, delightful taste. It is slightly nutty and chewy. Broken wheat may be ground into coarse grains .
Health benefits:
- Because broken wheat is made from whole wheat berries, it carries a great deal of nutrition and fiber since it includes the fiber and nutrient rich outer bran and germ of the wheat. For this reason, it is often added to healthy diets, especially those eaten by people who are concerned about heart health
- It is also a good source of iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
- Broken wheat is more nutritious than rice, because it contains more fiber, more vitamins and minerals, and has a better glycemic index than white rice or refined flour.
Cooked broken wheat (dalia)
To cook broken wheat, first clean and wash them well with water. Drain using a thin strainer and then soak them in water for 20-30 minutes. In a deep pan, add the soaked broken wheat along with the water and salt and add more water till it covers the broken wheat well. Boil on a medium flame and simmer, stirring in between till the broken wheat turns soft and is cooked well. Drain the excess water( if present) and use as required.

From Thomas Jefferson to John Bondfield, 12 April 1789
To John Bondfield
Paris Apr. 12. 1789.
Having asked permission of Congress to go to America this spring and return again in the ensuing fall, and being in expectation daily of receiving that permission, I have so arranged my business as to be able to depart within a week after the Congé shall come to hand. It is necessary for me in the mean time to know the vessels in the different ports which may be bound to the United states, that I may know what vessel there may be at the moment which may best suit me. I will therefore ask the favor of you to inform me immediately what vessels there are at Bordeaux bound for the United states, to what part of the states they are bound, when they sail, their size, age and soundness, and to take the trouble of informing me of the same circumstances as to any other vessel which may arrive between this and my departure. I am with very great esteem Dear Sir Your most obedient humble servt.,
Th: Jefferson
P.S. Mr. Short, my particular friend who has lived with me ever since I have been in France, and some time also before I left America, will probably be at Bourdeaux by the time you will receive this, on his return from Italy. I recommend him to your particular notice which he merits in the highest degree. I expect he will be named Chargé des affaires during my absence.
PrC (DLC). Almost identical letters (without the postscript) were written by TJ on 12 Apr. 1789 to Jacob Vernes of L'Orient and to John Gallwey of Nantes. The letter to Vernes was received despite the fact that TJ must have addressed it as he wrote the name at the foot of the text—"Monsieur Vannes" ("Vernés" in SJL)—for Vernes replied ca. 16 Apr. 1789. The letter to Gallwey contained this variation: "Mr. Cairnes informed me that you had been so kind as to undertake to execute any thing I might have to do at Nantes during his absence, and to permit me to address my letters to you for that purpose" (PrC of both letters in DLC).

Censor board chief Pahlaj Nihalani, on January31, alleged that director of Aligarh, Hansal Mehta is making an issue out of the A certificate given to the movie's trailer to garner publicity.
Aligarh, starring Rajkummar Rao and Manoj Bajpayee, is based on the life of professor Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who was fired from his job because of his sexual orientation.
Mr Mehta had criticised the censor board for the A certificate, saying he was "surprised" by the cuts they asked for in the film and termed the board "homophobic". At the trailer launch of the movie, Mr Mehta told PTI: "When the censor board saw the film they asked for certain cuts. I am a bit surprised by the cuts they have asked for. The film in many ways is about loneliness, relationships, rejection. It's about a homophobic society. What has happened is the censor is behaving exactly like the people who suspended professor Siras."
Mr Nihalani, defending his decision, said that the topic of homosexuality is not for kids and teenagers.
"The certification we have given to the trailer is according to the content. If the makers feel it is not justified then let them take a public opinion on this. Tell me, is the subject of homosexuality for kids? For teenagers? We have already cleared the film and now they are creating a controversy. This is a cheap publicity stunt by him (Mr Mehta)," Mr Nihalani told PTI.
Mr Mehta had alleged that by giving the trailer an A certificate the censor board has "put a stop to the promotions" as the promo will now run only with an adult rated film.
Mr Nihalani said that the Censor board is not trying to sabotage Aligarh.
"The film deals with homosexuality, we have given the trailer an A certificate and it will run with other adult films. We are not trying to sabotage the film at all. It is on the makers to accept it or not. If they want to go to the revising committee or tribunal they can go so by all means. In fact, we will be happy if they get the desired results from there," he added.
Mr Nihalani further said it is unfair to compare A certificate given to Aligarh with the promos of adult comedies Mastizaade and Kya Kool Hai Hum 3.
"The subject (of homosexuality) is such that I think he (Mr Mehta) was scared. They are now creating a fuss over the trailer. Films cannot be compared with each other. You cannot say 'That was passed so why not this', everything has to be viewed in the context. It is absolutely unfair to do that," he added.
"Mastizaade had 350 cuts, Kya Kool Hai Hum 3 had 200 cuts before they were passed. In fact, we have given an A-Certificate to Aligarh, but have not cut any visual scenes. There are only a few verbal cuts. Rest everything has been passed. So how can they say we are sabotaging the film because it's about homosexuality? This is sending out a wrong message. We have cleared his film," Mr Nihalani added. (Also Read: Manoj Bajpayee's Aligarh Trailer is Getting a Whole Lot of Love)
When asked about the new committee appointed by the Centre to look into the working of the board, which has been at the receiving end of criticism by filmmakers for its decisions, Mr Nihalani said that a few people will still be unhappy.
"Even if new rules are framed in the future regarding certification, filmmakers will have certain problems regarding a few things. This is a never ending debate," he said.

Over the weekend, it was announced that the final season would only run for 13 episodes instead of the traditional 22. Explaining the reasons, E! News reported CEO and chairman of FOX, Peter Rice telling press at the TCA awards: "We want to go out in way that celebrates it. We thought that a final 13 episodes and compacting it and doing it in a straight-run was a better way to finish the show."
So with the season being cut, what else can we expect from the sixth season?
How many times will Naya Rivera feature in season six?
Santana is one of our favourite characters on the show but earlier this month, it was reported that Naya Rivera – who plays the role of Santana so well – would not be making a comeback as a regular cast member. Whilst there has been no official comment from the actress, a source told E! News: "Naya wants to have more time to explore her music and other endeavors.
Old cast members are welcome back!
Good news for fans of the likes of Mercedes and Puck as Ryan Murphy has spoken openly about wanting the old cast members back on the show for the final season. Speaking to TV Line recently, Ryan said: "I think everybody wants to come back and end that story correctly, so that's our answer. Anybody who wants to be a part of that ending, we'd love to have you."
As the seasons have continued, Glee has moved from the high school halls of McKinley High in Ohio to New York where fans got to follow the lives of Lea Michele's Rachel Berry and Chris Colfer's Kurt as they began their NYC adventure after graduating. But the show won't be staying in the Big Apple for the final season as Ryan confirmed to TV Line: "The final season is not New York-centric at all. It really is a lovely, fitting season that dwells on the original people on the show and what happens to them and how they give back."
The ending of season five saw Rachel jet off for the bright lights of LA so surely, a branch of the storyline will focus on her adventures there? But Darren Criss, who plays the role of Blaine, predicted that something big is going to take place. Speaking to E! News, he quipped: "There's a nuclear bomb. Season six is actually about the post-apocalyptic nuclear fallout in Lima, Ohio… There's always a song and dance about the nuclear bomb."
And if that wasn't all, Ryan Murphy also confirmed that there will be a time jump when the new season returns. He told TV Line: "We are going to do a time jump. And my feeling about the last season of Glee is very clear, and that is that we have, or we will be, reaching out to all the regulars on the show — the original group of glee club members and teachers, and anyone who wants to come back."
When will it air?
A specific date has not been released yet. However, the final season will air in 2015.
So there you have it, we'll keep you posted with any more updates on the final season of the show.

In order to facilitate class size and the special requirements of some children, it is important that the school is aware of the needs of all entrants by early January.
Policy Considerations
While recognising the right of parents to enrol their child in the school of their choice, the Board of Management of Convent of Mercy N.S. Kanturk must also respect the rights of the existing school community and, in particular, the children already enrolled. This requires balanced judgements, which are guided by the principles of natural justice. Management reserves the right to determine the maximum number of children in each separate classroom bearing in mind:
- Size of available space in classrooms,
- Educational needs of children of a particular age
- Multi-grade classes
- Presence of children with special educational / behavioural needs e.g. DES maximum class average directives.
- Time of school year
- Classes may be split, merged or be doubled during their school career, according to school needs.
Equality of access is the key value that determines the enrolment of children to our school.
- No child is refused admission for reasons of ethnicity, special educational needs, disability, language/accent, traveller status, asylum-seeker/refugee status, religious/political beliefs & values, sexual orientation, family or social circumstances.
- Convent of Mercy National School Kanturk is very fortunate to have a premises which presently has sufficient capacity to be able to accept all pupils seeking enrolment and need not operate a policy where applications are in excess of the number of places available. Parents seeking enrolment for their child are facilitated, subject to enrolment criteria as outlined in this policy.
Our school can refuse enrolment in the following circumstances:
- School is oversubscribed;
- In the event that applications for enrolment exceed or are expected to exceed the number of places available, the following decision making process will apply. The B.O.M. will exercise its discretion in the application of the following criteria.
- (1) Siblings of Children already enrolled in the Convent of Mercy N. S. Kanturk.
- (2) Children who live within the Parish/Town boundaries.
- (3) Children of present Staff Members.
- Parents refuse to sign acceptance of the Code of Behaviour;
- Gardaí or HSE write to the school and give an opinion that the admission of a student would have a seriously detrimental effect on the safety of other students or staff of the school.
- Children of other faiths or of no faith:
Bearing in mind the Catholic ethos of the school, every effort will be made so that the school is as inclusive as possible. While Catholic education and a Christian ethos of the school permeates the day, children of other faiths or of none, will be excused from attendance at formal religious instruction classes and specifically Catholic liturgies (where a request is made in writing). As far as is possible, in consultation with parents, suitable alternative arrangements will be made in order to facilitate this. It will not be possible, however, to provide religious instruction in other faiths.
- Enrolment of Children with Special Needs:
Children with special educational needs are welcome to enrol in our school and every effort will be made to provide them with an appropriate education as well as to include them in every aspect of school life. The child enrolling in our school will be resourced in accordance with the level of resources provided by the Department of Education and Skills to the Board of Management. when completing the enrolment form, it is of paramount importance that the principal is notified as soon as possible of a child with any special educational needs to facilitate an application to the DES for resources particular to the child.
In relation to applications for the enrolment of children with special needs, the Board of Management will request a copy of the child's medical and/or educational psychological report, or other. Where such a report is not available, the Principal will request that the child be assessed immediately. The purpose of the assessment report is to assist the school in establishing the educational and training needs of the child relevant to his disability or special needs and to profile the support services required.
Following receipt of the report, the Board will assess how the school can meet the needs specified in the report. Where the Board deems that further resources are required, it will request that the Department of Education and Skills provide the resources required to meet the needs of the child, as outlined in the report.
- The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) or Child and Family Agency (TUSLA)
The NCSE or TUSLA can designate a school where parents have failed to find a school place after reasonable efforts in relation to a pupil with special educational needs or otherwise.
- Appeals Procedure
In line with Section 28 of the Education Act 1998, parents who are dissatisfied with an enrolment decision:
May appeal to the Board of Management. This appeal must be addressed, in writing, to the Chairperson of the Board, stating the grounds for the appeal, and lodged within ten days of receiving the refusal.
Parents, if unhappy with the result from the Board of an appeal, may appeal to the Department of Education and Skills under Section 29 of the Education Act on the official form provided by the Department. An appeal form will be issued by the school to the parents/guardians. This appeal must be lodged within 42 days of receipt of the refusal from the school to enrol. In the case where the Board refuses to allow the parents' appeal, the assistance of the NCSE and the NEWB is available.
The Patron/Minister of Education can appoint an independent person to operate the admissions policy of a school if the Board is not operating the admission policy in accordance with the Act.
- Compliance and obligation
A copy of the Code of Behaviour as well as other relevant policies, policy overviews and statements will be issued to parents/guardians.
Parents/Guardians are responsible for ensuring that their child cooperate with these policies in an age appropriate way.
Completing the enrolment and signing the appropriate Code of Behaviour and Anti-Bullying forms is considered to be an acceptance and agreement of compliance with the rules, practices and policies of the school.

Decisions as to enrolment therefore require balanced judgements and acting in the best interest of pupils and prospective pupils.

The advice of the Admission Board will be communicated in writing to the Board of Management by the Principal within 10 working days.
Where places arise within the existing Early Intervention ASD special classes, places will be allocated on the basis of the applicant being of suitable age and cognitive profile to fill the place and following this date of receipt of application.
In recognition of the specific educational context suited to pupils with ASD application for pupils with ADS must fulfil the following criteria: Mild General Learning Difficulty/No diagnosis of a General Learning Difficulty. A diagnosis of ASD according to DSM-IV, DSM V or ICD-10 from a Psychologist/Psychiatrist and /or MDT.
All reports have to be forwarded to SENO to be approve that Kanturk GNS is a correct placement.
Admission on the Early Intervention class does not necessarily meant that a place will be offered in the Junior Class.
The following criteria applies to pupils enrolling for a Junior/Senior ASD class in the Convent of Mercy N.S. Kanturk.

Right of Appeal
Parents have a right to appeal the decision in writing to:
- The school's Board of Management within two calendar weeks.

A Canadian government website has claimed Santa Claus is relocating his workshop, elves and reindeer to the South Pole to escape the effects of global warming.
A statement on the Policy Horizons Canada website says thanks to rising global temperatures, rapidly melting Arctic ice and increasing destructive drilling activity Santa has had to permanently move his operations.
Policy Horizons was created to advise Canadian government officials on emerging issues.
The humorous blog post comes as part of a series of Christmas themed posts about emerging policy concerns, one of which is global warming.
In other tongue-in-cheek messages Horizon mention Santa buying a self-flying sleigh and even investing in Bitcoin.
However, the site's latest blog post focuses on climate refugees.
'Santa's relocation agreement marks the first time that the international community agrees on a common legal definition of climate change that includes refugees as corporations, as well as individuals,' reads the post.
It goes on: 'This deal is expected to lead to the deployment of a global climate change refugee visa system that in the near future could help to more easily relocate individuals and corporations facing the impacts of climate change.'
In 2014 United Nations scientists warned climate change could cause refugees to flood into Europe as they flee weather and food shortages.
The dire warning was one of the conclusions of a comprehensive report on the impacts of global warming published by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Re-directing Russia's gas supplies to Europe bypassing Ukraine from 2019 is a decided matter and the European Union has little time to prepare sufficient infrastructure, Chairman of the Gazprom board of directors Viktor Zubkov said on Wednesday, TASS reported.
"Considering the decision made on re-directing supplies from 2019, European partners do not have so much time (for infrastructure preparation)," he said at the European gas conference in Vienna.
A decision to supply Russian natural gas via the Turkish route bypassing Ukraine was made by the country's top political leadership, Zubkov added.
"The decision on the construction of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline was made by the country's highest political leadership," Zubkov said in reply to TASS' question about whether the decision to supply gas bypassing Ukraine from 2019 was final. The Turkish Stream project will fully substitute the volume of gas currently pumped to Europe via Ukraine, he said.
OPAL Gas Pipeline
The OPAL gas pipeline affair has no explanation and looks like investor's discrimination on political grounds, Zubkov said.
"Within the framework of partnership logic, this has no explanation and looks like an investor's discrimination for political reasons," he said, adding that the gas pipeline was currently operating at half its capacity.
OPAL is the surface extension of the Nord Stream gas carrier under the Baltic Sea, which delivers Russian gas to the EU countries bypassing transit countries. Russia and Germany would like the pipeline to be exempt from the operation of the EU's Third Energy Package rules, which allows Gazprom to use only half of OPAL's capacity. Late last year the European Commission postponed its decision on the OPAL issue till January 2015.
Nord Stream Expansion Plan Cancelled
Russia's Gazprom has cancelled a plan to build two more branches of the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline because of the "complicated" political situation, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
Gazprom said last year it could increase the pipeline that runs under the Baltic Sea to Germany with a line that would go to Britain, but Reuters cited sources as saying Gazprom currently has no plans to extend the pipeline to Britain.
Nord Stream consists of two pipes with an annual capacity of 55 billion cubic metres, enough to supply around 10 percent of the European Union's annual gas needs.
The construction of two more pipes would have doubled Nord Stream capacity.Currently Nord Stream is running at around half its capacity because Gazprom is allowed only limited access to the Opal pipeline which runs through Germany to the Czech Republic and connects to Nord Stream.
The Russian company has so far failed to secure greater access, with talks complicated by tensions between the EU and Russia over the Ukraine crisis.

It is weird, but when I am high on the steroids, I crave carbohydrates, especially breakfast foods. Sometimes I will go to bed thinking about breakfast. I think that I could eat breakfast food all day long - but not the eggs and sausage type of breakfast foods, I want bread! I want French toast! I want pancakes! I want anything that is fattening and full of carbohydrates. It is terrible!
I also crave desserts, not the healthy fruit-based desserts but the big fat - and carbohydrate-filled desserts - like cakes! And I want them with lots of fatty frosting. I will even crave the dessert before we have even ordered dinner. When I am low on the prednisone, I don't have this strong desire for fat and carbs. I am normal and don't think about food all day. I don't know why the prednisone makes you crave all the foods that are really bad for you. I just know that it is true (at least for me, do you feel this too?).
Ummmm, this blog is making me hungry…
I need to get off these steroids!
