Bronze Plaque Of A Viking Ship At Sea. Estimated more than 75 yrs old. The use of bronze dates from remote antiquity. This important metal is an alloy composed of copper and tin, in proportion which vary slightly, but may be normally considered as nine parts of copper to one of tin. The result is a metal of a rich golden brown color, capable of being worked by casting a process little applicable to its component parts, but peculiarly successful with bronze, the density and hardness of the metal allowing it to take any impression of a mold, however delicate. It is thus possible to create ornamental work of various kinds. The process of casting is known as cire perdue, and is the most primitive and most commonly employed through the centuries, having been described by the monk Theophilus, and also by Benvenuto Cellini. Briefly, it is as follows: a core, roughly representing the size and form of the object to be produced, is made of pounded brick, plaster or other similar substance and thoroughly dried. Upon this the artist overlays his wax, which he models to the degree required in his finished work. Passing from the core through the wax and projecting beyond are metal rods. The modelling being completed, the outer covering which will form the mold has to be applied this is a liquid formed of clay and plaster sufficiently thin to find its way into every detail of the wax model. Further coatings of liquid are applied, so that there is, when dry, a solid outer coating and a solid inner core held together by the metal rods, with the work of art modelled in wax between. Heat is applied and the wax melts and runs out, and the molten metal is poured in and occupies every detail which the wax had filled. When cool, the outer casing is carefully broken away, the core raked out as far as possible, the projecting rods are removed and the object modelled in wax appears in bronze. If further finish is required, it is obtained by tooling. (Wikipedia) Size and weight is provided in the last photo of this lot if not written within the lot description.

- New Glarus Woods
State Park
New Glarus Woods State ParkNature programs
Amphitheater programs
Fun and educational programs are occasionally offered during the week and on weekends throughout the year. They are held, depending on the subject, either at the Chattermark Amphitheater or at the park shelter/picnic area. For program announcements, please check park bulletin boards, the DNR Events webpage or the Friends of New Glarus Woods website [exit DNR].
Discovery backpacks
The Friends of New Glarus Woods State Park have created a series of learning experiences for children to enjoy outdoors. Thanks to a grant from the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board, the friends have designed, researched and created four original programs about trees, birds of prey (raptors), insects (bugs!) and birds of Wisconsin.
Each program comes a separate backpack .
Each program includes lesson plans, materials, equipment and activities for families and teachers to use with children as they explore New Glarus Woods. For example, the Birds Discovery Backpack includes binoculars, two bird field guides, a New Glarus Woods map, ideas for bird landscape plantings, a lesson plan/activities booklet and more. The Insect Discovery Backpack contains insect models, an insect holder with magnifying glass, photographs, activities book and more. All programs are designed for children but can be enjoyed by all ages.
Four sets, each set consisting of four Discovery Backpacks, were completed. One set is at New Glarus Woods State Park.
The other backpacks were given to public libraries in New Glarus [exit DNR] and Monticello [exit DNR]. The libraries are part of the South Central Library System [exit DNR], linked with libraries in seven counties; Adams, Columbia, Dane, Green, Portage, Sauk and Wood. The backpacks will be available to borrow through any local library in the system.
Wisconsin Explorer
The Wisconsin Explorer program is a series of free booklets packed with fun and educational activities designed for kids and their parents to complete to earn a certificate and colorful patch. Ask for the booklets at the park office.

Most kids with college degrees just hate being good people and not making a ton of money. But this damn recession has forced them to do good. Blech.
Renewed interest in public service is visible across the country. Applications for AmeriCorps positions have nearly tripled to 258,829 in 2010 from 91,399 in 2008. The number of applicants for Teach for America climbed 32 percent last year, to a record 46,359. Organizations like Harvard's Center for Public Interest Careers have been overwhelmed — and overjoyed — with the swelling demand from talented 20-somethings.
These pitiful grads are like helping people now instead of having "You know, a normal job," in the wise words of recent grad Alison Sadock. Rather than bringing home six-figure paychecks, poor Alison had to "scrounge about" looking for jobs before she ended up at the Starlight Children's Foundation, an organization that helps seriously ill children.
Phew, no, it's not. See, we were forced into it because the recession stole all the for-profit jobs like a greedy little grinch-face.
The sudden surge in 2009, though, suggests that the absence of traditional private sector jobs forced many of the country's best and brightest into lower-paying, if psychically rewarding, work.
Since the recession began three years ago, the private sector has shed 7 percent of its jobs. The federal government, meanwhile, has expanded its payrolls 3 percent.
So there you have it, that's why kids nowadays have to take these lowly jobs that make a difference in the world. And it turns out, "in retrospect," they don't hate their lives now that they were bullied into this career path for poor people.
Like Ms. Sadock, many of the dozen other young graduates interviewed for this story say that, in retrospect, they are grateful the private sector shut them out.
So give it a try, y'all!

- Pitcher-plants of the genus Nepenthes are tropical carnivorous plants that trap and digest insects.
- Some of Borneo's pitcher plants inhabit a broad altitudinal range in its mountainous forests, while others are limited to a narrow band.
- Models indicate that one of these narrow-band species will go extinct by 2050 if current warming trends continue.
Nepenthes, or tropical pitcher plants, are a genus of carnivorous plants well known for their intricate and beautiful pitcher-shaped leaves that trap and digest insects. The genus is comprised of approximately 150 species, most of which are endemic to the Old World Tropics.
The greatest diversity of Nepenthes are found in Borneo, Sumatra and the Philippines. Plants within the Nepenthes genus grow within a broad altitude range from sea level to 3,400 meters (11,100 feet). But some species are restricted to narrower ranges, and may face extinction in a warming world.
At 140 million years old, the Borneo rainforest is one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Approximately 15,000 species of flowering plants and 3,000 tree species comingle and compete for space in this dense plant community.
The Borneo rainforest is also home to various indigenous peoples, a treasure trove of medicinal plants, and a rich collection of carnivorous plants. Carnivorous plants can be found throughout Borneo but one especially accessible area to visit tropical pitcher plants is in Bako National Park.
Bako National Park is the oldest National Park in the Sarawak region of Malaysian Borneo. The park is close enough to the city of Sarawak to visit in one day. Once in the park, hikers can explore the intertidal zone of the South China Sea and trek into steep regions of montane forest in the same day. Wildlife is abundant.
One particular trail, the Lintang Trail, leads hikers along mangrove boardwalks near the Park headquarters and up a steep sandstone escarpment. Hikers eventually reach a plateau area that is part keranga, or dry heath forest, and part bare sandstone rock. It doesn't take a well-trained botanist to spot abundant tropical pitcher plants while hiking around the Lintang trail.
Nepenthes are everywhere along the trail and appear quite healthy. Multiple Nepenthes species thrive in Bako National Park, but one species, Raffles' pitcher-plant (N. rafflesiana), is particularly well represented along this trail.
Raffles' pitcher-plants grow happily in various microenvironments: peat swamp forests, heath forests, cliffsides and keranga forest. Furthermore, this species lives within a broad altitude range, and is found at sea level all the way up to 1,500 meters (5,000 feet).
Thanks in part to its flexible altitude range, this Nepenthes species enjoys healthy population numbers and is currently listed as a Least Concern species on the IUCN list of endangered species.
Now, let's compare this scenario with another tropical pitcher plant living in Borneo, the large-leaved pitcher-plant, (Nepenthes macrophylla). Unlike Raffle's pitcher plant, this species can tolerate only a narrow range in altitude, growing exclusively on mossy ridges along Mount Trusmadi between 2,000 and 2,600 meters (6,500 and 8,200 feet) (Clarke, 1997.) Mount Trusmadi is located in Sabah, the eastern region of Borneo.
The peak of Mount Trusmadi sits at 2642 meters (8667 feet), so the narrow altitude range of the large-leaved pitcher-plant extends almost up to the summit. Due in part to this restrictive geographic range, the population of this Nepenthes species is in a precarious situation, and is currently listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN list.
Okay, so what are the most probable fates of these two different Nepenthes species in the next 100 years as the world warms? Would populations of large-leaved and Raffles' pitcher-plants be impacted by the predicted rise in global temperatures?

Today, a further push above above the 0.060 can see more momentum coming back with the MACD also crossing above the zero mark for the first time after 2 months. Target can be to 0.070 then 0.080 for the short term as long as 0.060 holds now.

All lined up, snow came and recorded for history
- Looking into my grandmother's Bible to see if she had recorded the exact birth date of a child who died in infancy. (My sister is working on a genealogy project.) And finding that inside the cover she had written various names and telephone numbers (a good place to keep them, I guess), some scripture references, and these words, "Snow came Jan. 12, 1982."
- There was a legendary snowfall that day in Georgia, almost six inches. Stop laughing, you all in the north! That's huge for the south. And momentous enough for the family matriarch to record it in a treasured place.

Lordy. If I recorded every Michigan snow of six inches, there wouldn't be room left in the bible for Moses! ;-)
Mina's dolls are adorable. I bet she is, too.

Hi Lynn .. love the line up - the weather is odd everywhere .. my birthday 13th Jan - it often snows in the UK .. but a few years ago -we had a six inch dump here on April 13th and a white out .. tomorrow we may get a sprinkling .. and it's been the coldest March for many a year ..
Fascinating to find the details stored in your grandmother's Bible ..

Cute doll pic! looks warm too-
Well, maybe the family Bible is a good place to find things you don't want to lose- Even historical weather events. N yes, our last shoveling was over 8 inches here not long ago.
May get in the 50s tomorrow- yay. Today very cold n windy again.

Six inches of snow would be huge here too. Six centimetres of snow is unusual.
Love the sunny dolls.

Ha! I know - it's a way of life there. We get excited about one flake, but when it does snow, it locks down the city. :)
Mina is adorable - a fun, creative, smart kid (like her mom.)
And the J-Hey-Kid might be MVP? Awesome.
Sage -
I've been seeing those gorgeous beach photos of yours on facebook this week. I hope you are enjoying your vacation.

I think spring is delayed for everyone. I always remember wearing a springy outfit around St. Patrick's Day before, but this year we've stayed in winter clothes until this week.
Sandie -
I'm so glad. :)
Mama Zen -
Thank you - who knew she had so many???

Riot Kitty -
That snowstorm she wrote down was infamous in Atlanta, because it started after 3pm one day and all employers let everyone go home all at once, so traffic was gridlocked, while many cars ended up abandoned. There was one group who ended up back at the office I worked at then and were stuck there for days working. Thankfully - I got home OK.
My grandmother lived in Macon, Georgia. I guess it snowed there, too. I don't remember, but am glad she noted it for posterity.
Snaggle -
I think that Bible was a prized possession. I looked up the scripture references she wrote down, too.
Elephant's Child -
Sunny dolls - they are. Thank you.

And, hey, six inches is a lot of snow if you aren't in a snowy region. (which I wish I wasn't mostly!)

I understand very well about the six inches of snow. Don't let those Northerners try to make you feel foolish. It is a big deal in South:~)
I loved all the pictures, but those dolls are adorable; they look like doll-flowers growing out the the ground.
About the family Bible, my brother got it. I really wish I had it. I remember seeing things in it that were amazing. A lot was written in the family bible, wasn't it?

Okay, all done. :D

State budget impasse taking toll on The Children's Institute
The CEO of The Children's Institute says the non-profit social services organization receives $1.5 million a month from the state.
However, that money has not been released since the start of the budget dispute that legislators in Harrisburg can't seem to solve; as a result The Children's Institute has borrowed $5 million and dipped into its investment fund to stay afloat.
VIDEO: Watch Sheldon Ingram's report
"I think it's gone on far too long and it's irresponsible for the Legislature to let it go on this long", says CEO Dave Miles. "The interest on that money, that's what we're going to have to pay as an organization. The state's not going to reimburse us for the interest on that."
Sen. Jay Costa and Rep. Dom Costa both say a budget solution may be very near.
"I really feel for them. We're on the verge of an agreement that will work for both sides. I hope we learned our lesson," Rep. Costa.

Democracy Is the Key
Democracy is a key trade union principle which plays a pivotal role at USW Local 1944. Being accountable to our members and giving every member a say in the affairs of our Union creates an atmosphere of involvement and solidarity. It all starts with member participation. This means more than letting the members vote once every few years, then giving Union leaders the right to make all the decisions. Union democracy is a continuous process of participation, representation and information. Depending on the mechanisms used, this can be a timely and expensive process but one that is essential to the good health of the Union. Great care must be taken in ensuring that our structure meets both the needs of our members while keeping costs in control. Our members expect and deserve good stewardship for their Union dues.
Units are the building blocks of our structure. Units are chartered by the Executive Board of the Local and assigned a specific jurisdiction.
Units usually meet monthly or every other month to conduct business. It is important that you attend your Unit meetings in order to report problems in your workplace, provide feedback to your union on job-related matters and receive updated information from your Local Union Representatives. Your participation ensures that the Union keeps a pulse on the events that matter to you and your input is vital as your Representatives go forward to address those issues. Once you have sent in your membership application you will receive meeting notices that will tell you when and where your next Unit meeting will be. As well, you will receive letters, bulletins and a quarterly newsletter called the "The Transmitter" which will keep you up to date on the latest happenings in USW Local 1944 as well as the federal and global labour issues that may impact you and your community.
Units also:
- Hold triennial elections for Unit Executive positions.
- Make recommendations to Local Union Delegated Meetings.
- Report any business conducted to head office.
- Participate in labour education and activities.
The members of each Unit elect Unit Officials who represent the membership. Unit Officials consist of the following positions:
- Unit Chair
- Unit Vice-Chair
- Unit Secretary
- Unit Counsellor(s)
As a member in good standing, you are encouraged to exercise both your voice and your vote at Unit meetings and to elect those Unit Officials who you feel will best represent you. All Unit Officials are subject to an election process regulated by the Union's Constitution. This ensures that accountability is maintained via the democratic process and USW Local 1944 takes pride in the fact that Union Officers of every level are elected.
The Local Union Delegated Meeting
The Local Union holds a Local Union Delegated Meeting at least once every three years. Resolutions for changes to the Local Union By-Laws, are voted upon and approved by a majority of delegates in attendance at these Local Union Delegated Meetings and are then voted upon by the Local's membership. Delegates to Local Union Delegated Meetings are elected at the Unit level according to a formula that takes the size of each Unit, and regional representation, into account.

Photos and story by Natalie Jacobsen
"Bandanna or beads?" asks Cynthia Neff, walking up and down the center aisle of the bus. Hands reach for the bright orange options that will be used to distinguish Charlottesvillians in a sea of hundreds of thousands at the March for Our Lives rally held March 24 in Washington, D.C. Students from area high schools chose the color to represent UVA, but it's fitting that orange is also the official color of National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Neff is one of the organizers who helped coordinate buses and logistics for the trip to D.C.; she says she learned many lessons from her participation in the Women's March in January 2017. "What a bitch to plan that was," says Neff. "Thank god the youth took control of this one."
The youth Neff speaks of are local students, many of whom helped plan their school's participation in the nationwide walkout on March 14, including Fré Halvorson-Taylor, from Charlottesville High.
"Turnout was better than expected [at the walkout], so we knew we had to capitalize on this momentum today—especially in registering people to vote," Halvorson-Taylor says. "We need to unseat the NRA and NRA-funded politicians. We are going to the march for everyday victims of gun violence, not just those of mass or school shootings."
Halvorson-Taylor says that, despite the recent spike in school shootings, schools are still safer than "our own backyards, parks, our city streets."
Albemarle, Monticello, Charlottesville and Western high schools planned their walkouts together, including writing a joint statement. More than half the student body at each school left class for 17 minutes for speeches, moments of silence, postcard-writing and singing, in honor of the 17 victims of the February 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. After the success of the events, the push to send students to D.C. began, led by Parkland students. "We are here to show that even though we are young, we have the ability to organize, vote and make a difference—maybe even more of a difference—like an adult," says Ashley Clark from CHS. "We are directly impacting the world today."
"Thoughts and prayers aren't enough," says Helen Gehle of CHS. "We aren't just showing solidarity by going, we are saying we need comprehensive policies on gun control." Gehle hopes to continue a life in social justice and activism, saying she and her classmates "woke up" after the Parkland shooting.
Zyahna Bryant and other outspoken students sought Neff for help. She obliged, as did countless other volunteers in the community, including Kristin Clarens, a leader for Families in Action. Locally, several social justice and community groups (Moms Demand Action, Charlottesville Clergy Collection, UVA Student Council and Indivisible Charlottesville, among others) organized a satellite March for Our Lives rally on the Downtown Mall.
Clarens invited those who couldn't attend the D.C. march to contribute in other ways—by donating signs, food and their time. On the eve of the event, she rallied families together at Champion Brewery for preparations, which included corralling elementary-aged kids into making sandwiches for the older marchers.
Elliott Gewirtz, 6, said she doesn't like peanut butter sandwiches, but enjoyed making them for the marchers. She and others her age were cognizant of the reason they were there. "People have to stop selling guns—the community can make the changes," Elliott said.
She isn't alone in already thinking about these concepts. Neff says, "I have heard students say they want longer recess or better food at lunch, but I have also heard 7-year-olds ask for bulletproof windows." A recurring sentiment among older students was the constant feeling of needing to look over their shoulders and be aware of potential shooters, something they say was never on their parents' minds when they were in school.
Echoes of the words "gun" and "safety" were heard scattered throughout the evening as the kids worked in an assembly line to wrap the lunches.
"It's amazing to have the support of the city and see our students use this moment for these issues," says Clarens.
The time is now
At sunrise on the morning of the march, City Councilor Wes Bellamy boards bus No. 1 to give a few words of encouragement.
"Please have fun and please be loud," he says. "Let them know Charlottesville is there. The whole city is behind you."
Frosty, pale green fields beneath a soft blue sky rush by as students nap on one of the buses. Chaperones spread cream cheese on bagels, and Neff hands out stickers bearing the phrases #CvilleSaysEnough and #CvilleStrong. The latter was composed as a response to August 12. "The City of Charlottesville communications office had come up with #CvilleStandsForLove," says Neff, "but Zyahna doesn't feel that Charlottesville truly does stand for love right now. She wanted something else."
One student tracks the Clark Brothers gun store and shooting range as the bus passes it in Warrenton. Sesame seeds from Bodo's bagels scatter across the floor with every bump in the road. Two girls in the back giggle quietly as they take turns braiding each other's hair and tying orange bananas around their heads. A father listens while his son reads the comic book Lumberjanes to him; others listen to music or read magazines to pass the time.
The bus is quiet, but not necessarily with apprehension.
"The only thing we are afraid of is not getting the message across or not being heard," says Gehle.
Most of the students are experiencing their first protest; many say they look forward to participating in other causes and rallies in the future, whether for the environment, civil rights, equality or education.
"A lot of us were freaked out this past year from a blackout, a lockdown and all of the drills," says Sarah Carter from CHS. She hopes to see stronger and more frequent employment of background checks as a result of the march, along with ammunition sales being restricted.
Carter and her peers commend CHS administration, faculty and their principal for having open and candid conversations about school safety. "It feels like they are really listening to us," says Carter. The CHS students agree they all felt safe at the school, after being shown emergency plans and having drills, and having the support of some politically outspoken teachers on their side.
Other students feel their schools could do more. "Most people didn't really talk about Parkland; my friends were outraged, and afraid it could happen to us," says Anna Eldridge of Western. "We only do lockdowns once a year, and felt like we had no plan and don't know what to do in an emergency."
Murray High student Isabel Eldridge was born several years after the Columbine shooting, but she still cites it as her reason for marching. "Murray is a small school…some students didn't care, but I wanted to go, and be a part of something today," she says. "We should have changed laws after Columbine."
As the bus crosses the Potomac River into D.C., the Washington Monument towers over the horizon. When it stops, students unfurl their signs, and organizers tie bright orange balloons to the front of the bus so it is easy to find later. Dozens of other buses fill the lot next to the Redskins stadium, where volunteers hand out free water, and vendors tout their merchandise for the marchers to wear.
Though chilly in temperature, the atmosphere is warm. Tragedy at schools and large venues and on the streets has brought hundreds of thousands of people together for what is believed to be one of the largest single-day protests in history.
Attendees step through mud puddles and remaining piles of snow, and walk beneath budding cherry and tulip trees. As they march through Capitol Heights, they pass windows bearing signs of support—some Washingtonians step outside to wave and cheer as they go by. Cars honk, prompting students to raise their fists and yell in return. Bicyclists shout "Yes, Charlottesville!" as they ride by. Some residents have set up tables with free water and snacks.
One parent chaperone following a few steps back from the students is Diane Beaudoin-Price. She is a mother to three daughters at CHS and Walker Elementary, who are all participating in the march.
"The Trump election woke us all up; before, we had been a little more easygoing with activism and issues," says Beaudoin-Price. "It's especially pertinent since I have three daughters—I see a lot of activism and care in them." She says her husband has been sending them supportive messages all day. "There are so many common sense reforms that should happen, because nobody needs a gun beyond hunting or at a sporting place."
Beaudoin-Price cites an oft-stated statistic—that even guns in the house intended for protection increase the chance of injury or death of household members by 11 times, especially for women and children. "Having kids makes you want to stand for something, and for their future," says Beaudoin-Price.
The group strides by the Capitol with upbeat steps. As they pass down the slope toward the hub of the gathering on Third Street between Independence and Pennsylvania avenues, Senator Cory Booker stops to pose with them for a photo.
"We are just so excited to be here," says Johanna Hall. Her friend and fellow AHS student, Ruby Schaeffer, echoes her statement: "It's now or never," she says.
The police presence on Constitution Avenue is strong, but non-confrontational. If there are any counterprotesters, they go unnoticed. The Charlottesville group squeezes through the crowd, making its way as far along as it can in the throng of people in puffy winter coats, ducking under signs and skirting around curbs and avoiding stepping on toes.
Once settled, everyone hushes and listens intently to the day's speakers—including students from all over the country who have experienced gun violence—cheering and chanting when appropriate. Tears are wiped away, sunglasses unable to completely shield emotions.
"Today is proving that this conversation is popularizing how intersectional this topic is. We have a systematic problem," says Halvorson-Taylor. Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg affirms that notion when he says "bullets don't discriminate" in his speech.
It wasn't the breeze that day that brought chills down spines, but rather, the dozens of youth who took the stage, holding hands, all bearing the message of "enough." Gun violence survivors and those affected by gun violence, people who have lost siblings and friends to bullets, call the audience to action for three hours. Each story is full of pain, details such as "I watched my brother's face turn gray as he died," but also of hope: "We see you, we hear you, and we will change the future."
One little girl walks on the stage holding a Parkland student's hand. "My grandfather had a dream that his four little children would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," she says. A collective gasp rings across the crowd as the connection is made: It's Martin Luther King Jr.'s granddaughter, 9-year-old Yolanda Renee King.
"I have a dream that enough is enough," Yolanda says. "That this should be a gun-free world. Period." Three Monticello High School students put their hands to their mouths, their eyes watering.
One Parkland student asks the marchers to sing happy birthday to victim Nick Dworet (March 24 would have been his 18th birthday), and everyone sings in unison.
Toward the end of the event, three students take the stage, and state their names and ages. Audience members crane their necks and wait for more. "We are from Newtown, Connecticut."
That's when a UVA Curry School teacher-in-training hides her face behind her sign, which reads "Training to be a teacher, not a sharp shooter," consumed with emotion. Four hundred Sandy Hook survivors, family members and faculty are among the day's marchers.
Parkland shooting survivor Emma González lists the names of each of the school shooting victims, then stares across the vast sea of faces for more than four minutes, tears streaming down her face. Her gaze never wavers. The crowd falls silent, later learning that González's six minutes and 20 seconds on stage was the exact length of time the Parkland shooting lasted. Chants of "Vote her in!" follow her off stage.
Alethia Laughon-Worrell of CHS and Halvorson-Taylor found González's speech to be the most emotional and moving.
"Our safety is something we think about every day when we enter the school," says Halvorson-Taylor. "Being in Charlottesville, it is compounded by the fact we faced white supremacists last year. We are all aware we need to do something."
Laughon-Worrell agrees, saying, "Doing these kinds of marches is one of the most important things we can do after August 12."
But what needs to be done varies for each attendee. Some believe in changes directly at schools, be it installing metal detectors or adding more security in the hallways. Others are keen on larger policies, or banning semi-automatic weapons and bump stocks. More still believe the answer is voting in November.
One CHS student, Hamada Al-Doori, has been affected by gun violence for a large portion of his life. He showed up to the "amazing and successful march" to make a stand and prevent his past from happening at his school. He grew up in Iraq, near Baghdad, and his immediate family came to the U.S. to escape ISIS and the everyday violence. "It sounds sad, but hearing automatic weapons and bombs every day is normal there," Al-Doori says. "My dad was close to being kidnapped. We had to hide for months, trapped in cities. Here, I thought we were supposed to be safe."
He admitted he was nervous before the march, but afterward, he had a huge smile on his face. "It was so emotional," Al-Doori says. "I'm so excited to be here and be part of something. What is happening in Iraq cannot happen here; it cannot become normal."
After the march concludes, the students and chaperones, tired from an emotional and physical day, make their way through the streets, calm and confident in the event's ringing message. People cheer, high-five and hug.
Some Charlottesville students lounge on the slopes of Senate Park, laughing and playing games, in between snapping a few final pictures with their signs. They may have been sitting in the shadow of the Capitol all day, but now the sun shines high overhead, with rays of light streaming through tree branches. Their smiles reflect relief and gratitude as they look toward the sun passing over the Hill, basking in its glow.
"The next generation is coming," says Zoe Weatherford from AHS. "We are willing to put in the work. We are making rallying possible for all to attend. We are ready to talk about the issues and get uncomfortable."
Her friend, Carmen Day, also from AHS, says, "It's just as important for individuals to show up and take responsibility to make it happen. It never will if you don't share your opinion."
Both Weatherford and Day are 18 and they are looking forward to voting this November.
"We and so many other people are paying attention," Day says.

Join us for the first of our Spring 2019 Leadership Development days: The Future of Works. These days challenge us to re-examine flexibility in the way we work and respond to change.
The Future of Work opens the debate by exploring potential new approaches to work in the cultural sector in response to factors such as technology and longer working lives.
Hear from speakers who have embraced new working practices such as flexible working in their organisations and portfolio careers. We will end the day with a spotlight on how leaders can respond to a complex and changing world with keynote speaker Dr Sharon Varney, Director of the Henley Forum.
Is it for me?
The Future of Work is for leaders who want to think differently about future-proofing their work and organisations. Relevant for leaders who work freelance or in an organisation of any size. This session is open to 60 leaders and is presented in a conference format designed to pose questions, add context and share best practice.
Course Fee
This Leadership Development Day is supported by Arts Council England, through a three-year grant to develop sector leaders. The course fee is £120 for applicants working in England. There may be a limited number of unsubsidised places on each course for applicants outside England, although priority will be given to those who meet the criteria for a subsidised place. An unsubsidised place costs £400 + VAT.
This Leadership Development day is designed to be complemented by Future Capable, but it is also a standalone event.

October 27, 2012
The descriptor for Hurricane Sandy is "Frankenstorm" as it appears that this storm will swing back over the Mid-Atlantic coast and head for the Great Lakes as another, much colder, storm moves from the north and west toward her. It also appears that Sandy is having difficulty determining the type of storm she wants to be-tropical or hurricane.
Time will certainly tell if Sandy lives up to this moniker.
Which brings to a point a characteristic of hurricanes as natural disasters that does not present with flash floods or tornadoes, and absolutely not earthquakes: one must wait for a hurricane. And given the current state of technology, hurricanes are predicted, plotted, and tracked for days and weeks until dissipating many, many miles from the point of origin. Whatever the adjectives or qualifiers used the description, the real concern is the damage wrought between the beginning and the end.
More later.
Take care.

Pre-Trial Motions in Municipal Court
Often times the evidence against you can be suppressed. By suppressed we mean kept out of your case. How? By making a pretrial motion(s) to the Municipal Court Judge. Lawyers look for technicalities that can be used beneficially for their clients. Examples include illegally obtained evidence, illegal searches and seizure, illegal conduct by the police, lack of probable cause to support the accusation, lack of jurisdiction by the court, unconstitutionally of the charge, statute of limitation violations (meaning the charge was made outside of a statutory time limit), failure to provide discovery. The use of pretrial motions at or before the time of trial can be an extremely effective defense tool for use by your attorney. Knowing what motion to make and how to make it is an important aspect of your defense. Think you should have evidence against you suppressed or have other concerns about the evidence in your case?
Then you should contact Fredrick P. Niemann, Esq. of Hanlon Niemann & Wright toll free at (855) 376-5291 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a consultation with a member of his office today.

Hello dear friends. I took part in "One Day's Walk", The Stone Space exhibition. It had a great response from the locals and the theme was to involve the community and the artist from Leytonstone (East London). You might already know that I enjoy taking "From the Bottom of the Sea" sculptures out , even on my travels. In the past I had one with me in a desert in Emirates, in Margate on the beach, or back in Slovakia… For this exhibition, I had taken one of my "From the Bottom of the Sea" sculpture out to Leytonstone's Epping forest, and let it sit in a meadow. We tried many angles and ways, for the sculpture to be most comfortable. I chose one photograph of it, which was used to produce cards accompanying the show. Each artist had cards made. Those are for sale in the gallery for £1 each to support The Stone Space in their amazing first year running. If you would like one of my cards free, email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) with your postal address and I'll send it to you or visit the gallery. Hurry, I've have less than 30 left.
Hi there. I'll start to write about my From the Bottom of the Sea sculpture no. 6, and I'll take you around the journey of sculpting processes in it.
What is it made from? Outdoor plaster, oil paint, and in the making process I used also plasticine. First of all I decided to go for outdoor plaster because previous works I produced, in the same medium seemed to work well for me, and sculpting out of the outdoor plaster was enjoyable. It was strong and wasn't chipping and it allowed me a certain kind of freedom of decision. Taking a step back, another reason why I wanted a strongest plaster, for it to last long time and make my life easier in transport, but a disadvantage of the denser plaster is, it is very heavy, which I realized in the process. As to when I used Alpha Plaster (Fine Casting Plaster), that left a whiter surface colour however, it was significantly more brittle.
I've made five other similar but much smaller plaster sculptures previously, I've given this series name: From the Bottom of the Sea.
How is it made? I hesitated about revealing this however, I think sharing processes and techniques is OK, and it gives a deeper insight into my thinking and where I'm getting. This information is only going to be published exclusively on my blog.
I have poured my plaster mix over hundreds of plasticine shapes, into a mould in a square shape measuring about 70×70 cm, to be honest it was an old unused stretched canvas. I isolated it before pouring and let it set overnight. When I returned next day, I struggled to lift it up to my desk. No, it wasn't stuck in the frame just very heavy. I guess it was at least 20kg. Somehow, I managed to lift it from the floor of my studio to my large desk, where I continued working.
There were a few different stages in making, and the next one was trying to dig out all the shapes from the set plaster, achieving the gappy see-through effect. See the image on top, where some holes have been produced, some plasticine is still showing. The image on the right is showing the reverse side of the piece.
I continued to excavate till all the plasticine was out. After taking a few steps back, looking at the shape and the texture, I needed to make it look neater and shape it so it felt right. I used a power tool to sand down the circles, and I made a decision to cut off the edges with a hand saw, and round it all up into a circle. See the both sides on the photographs with my sculpture rounded.
Organic feeling of the piece and something that looked like it could have been shaped by the water were some of my criteria. I continued on to sculpt the larger organic looking holes and digging into them to multiply the number of them. It was a long process and a lot of hard work. The plaster at that point was already stone hard, and all my tools are looking over-used.
All about the shape. Yes, back to the shapes. In the past, I liked to use as a 'holding' shape of a piece circle or square. As I looked at the unfinished sculpture, it being a circle still didn't work for me, because it felt too real, tight and not natural for what I imagined could have come from the bottom of my imaginary sea. With a little hesitation, whether I'm going to break it in half, or ruin it completely, I made a drastic decision to shape it with a chisel-like tool and a saw to make it less regular with some broken edges, as they have been hitting rocks and sea bottom for some time. Despite it being probably most exciting moment after lifting it from the mould, gosh it was scary too! But aside all that drama, it quite fullfilled what I was aiming for and the final shape was born!
Colour next. As far as I was concerned, I wasn't entirely happy with the sculpture yet. I would sit at home with my laptop, download all images from my camera, which I take each day and I would stare at them."Think, think, think!" Next day in my studio, I made a decision to go for it, and make a painting of what I felt like it could have been some sort of old floating plants, either attached to my artwork or flowing near it in the water. There, was the sea-weedy colour overtaking the surface of my sculpture, and drops would suggest the direction, where the colour drips and splashes. The sculpture was finished!

Fast Market Research announces the availability of the new TechNavio report, "Global Aerospace and Marine Data Recorder Market 2015-2019", on their comprehensive research portal
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2015 -- Global aerospace and marine data recorders are used in commercial and defense applications. Aerospace and marine data recorders are segmented into flight, cockpit, and voyage data recorders. While cockpit voice recorders record radio transmissions, pilot's voices, and engine noises; flight data recorders record performance parameters of planes, such as time, altitude, fuel levels, and airspeed. Similarly, voyage data recorders record wind speed and direction, ship's location, and the direction in which the ship is heading. These recordings are retrieved and analyzed during investigations of accidents.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global aerospace and marine data recorder market to grow at a CAGR of 4.50% over the period 2014-2019.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "A single-unit data recording device includes flight and voice data recorders in a single box configuration along with a data transfer system linked to air traffic control. The single unit device halves the spares and inventory cost and leads to reduced critical system weight. The installation of the device also shortens cable distances between the cockpit and recording device, preventing damage to the wires during an in-flight fire."
Get More Details on this Report and a Full Table of Contents at Global Aerospace and Marine Data Recorder Market 2015-2019
According to the report, the rise in demand for air travel has resulted in an increase in aircraft fleets. Globally, more than 38,000 aircraft orders will likely be delivered in the next 20 years. Asia has more than 3,500 widebody and 10,000 single-aisle aircraft lined to be delivered by 2034. This growth in aircraft orders and backlogs will drive the market growth.
Further, the report states that the maturity of the technologies used in black boxes is one of the major hindrances to the growth of the market.
The key players in the Global Aerospace and Marine Data Recorder Market are Danelec Marine, Honeywell International, HR Smith Group, L-3 Communications Aviation Recorders and Teledyne Technologies while other prominent vendors include Acr Electronics, Flyht Aerospace Solutions, Phoenix International Holdings and Universal Avionics Systems
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Hi everyone!
Today I'm going to do a review of the second product in this series, and it's the Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer.
I have had this primer for almost a year and hadn't used it often until late last year. This was my first primer product and the girl at the Too Faced counter introduced me to this when I was just gawking at their beautifully packaged make up products.
As indicated on the packaging, "Use alone for the look of flawless skin or under bronzer and makeup for a perfect finish". I did a little research and found that it contained the following ingredients:
1. Mulberry Extract & Arctostaphylos UVA URSI: Protect, brighten and lighten skin for a renewed freshness and soothing effect.
2. Retinyl Palmitate & Cyclodextrin with CAVAMAX Retinol: Restores moisture, elasticity and suppleness with a powerful combination of anti-wrinkle, youth enhancing, skincare ingredients.
3. Camellia Oil & Vitamin A: Essence of the white tea plant and the free radical fighting vitamins are nature's most powerful antioxidants. Skin looks firmer, brighter and more resilient, even up close.
This is also vegan-friendly and paraben-free. Sounds good doesn't it?
The primer is a nude beige colour and does not have a sheen at all. It is meant to blend right into your skin on application so it makes it perfect for all skin tones :)
I applied some on the back of my hand and it really becomes invisible on my skin after blending. It is not very obvious in the picture but it did make my skin look slightly smoother and covered some pores. This is a silicon-based primer that is slightly creamy in texture which makes it go on smoothly on the face.
I use this every morning and because of it's slightly creamy texture it makes it easy to spread the product across the face. My skin is not that great and this primer alone was not enough to cover the blemishes on my face so I have never used it alone. If you have generally clear skin, this would be a great product to wear on days you wish to have light makeup on.
I wear this with my ModelCo Mineral Powder Foundation and my make up stays fresh for most part of the day. At around 5-6 hours you can see some fading of my make up but it is still visible on my face. My face also does not look oily at the end of the work day, although I'm not sure if it's entirely due to the primer or combined effects of the primer and my mineral powder.
So what do I think of it?
Wearing this underneath my foundation indeed makes my face look more flawless and I am very satisfied with how long it locks my makeup on for. Personally, after using this I realised that I don't really like how silicon-based primers feel on my skin, but I could overlook that seeing what this product could do for me.
This primer comes in a 28g or 1 oz tube and retails at about A$38, so it isn't exactly cheap for the amount of product you get. I only have experience with two primers so far, the other one being my Laura Mercier Foundation Primer so I can't say the Too Faced Primer is my favourite primer in the world.
As to whether I will repurchase after it finishes, I probably will not for the time being as I would like to try out other primers on the market. I am most likely staying away from silicon-based primers but if one day I find that cream primers do not work well on my skin, I might return to this Too Faced Primer. If you are used to silicon-based primers then I would think this is a good product to try out.
Rating: 4/5
Thanks for reading my review! Have you tried this or the other Too Faced Primers before? What do you think of them? Please leave a comment below, I'd love to know what you think :)

I think we can all agree that when it comes to television dads, Veronica Mars ' Keith Mars is easily one of the best that has ever entered our lives. He's constantly there for his daughter, protects her, stands up for her, puts her in her place when necessary and is overall just a smart, kind, loving man. He and Veronica are also easily the smartest people living in their little town of Neptune, which is extra clear considering how they're the only people to ever actually solve any crime that happens there. Everyone always talks about the epic romance between Veronica and Logan or, on the flip side, how their relationship is unhealthy and that Veronica should be with Piz. And obviously people can appreciate Keith because it's impossible to deny his sheer awesomeness. But at times, I worry that his perfection is downplayed. And that wrong must be righted here and now.
Because TV fathers (and real fathers for that matter) don't always get the credit they deserve, and because I can't actually think of any awards given out to great TV dads (aside from a slideshow honoring them for Father's Day), I've decided to create my own fictional awards and fictional subdivisions of real, prestigious awards that Keith Mars should absolutely receive, not just as a father but as a fictional human man. Because think about it this way, Veronica wouldn't be anywhere near as awesome as she is without her dear ol' pops, and Veronica Mars wouldn't be anywhere near as awesome without Keith Mars.
The Nobel Prize Of Perfect Fatherdom
Honestly, I cannot stress this enough. I've already stated why Keith is a great dad, but honestly after watching even a single episode of the series, it's easy to tell why he's such a good dad. The clip above is one of his most heroic moments, saving Veronica from Logan's father Aaron Echolls after she discovered he was the one who actually killed her best friend Lily. Veronica had no doubt in her mind that Keith would come save her, and neither did I.
The Purple Heart Of Being A Way Better Cop Than Anyone in Neptune (Aside From Veronica)
How on Earth did the Lamb brothers become and stay sheriff as long as they did over Keith? It makes no sense, they solve absolutely no murders, Keith literally does all of their work and some of the cops are still loyal to him because they're the smart ones.
The Oscar For Wittiest Banter (Male Division)
This. Just so much more of this.
The Over-Protective Dad Award
Hey, it's par for the course. It just comes with the territory of having a dad who was a policeman and still solves crime for a living.
The Roll With The Punches Award For Letting Veronica Do Her Thing (Reluctantly)
Sometimes the best parenting, the only parenting when it comes to Veronica, is to just go with the flow. I can't even count how many times Keith probably told Veronica not to investigate something only to find her doing so later anyway. In this clip, Keith wouldn't risk telling the Neptune High principal that Veronica was in his closet because she could get expelled, so what else was going to do? Let her just keep investigating for the time being.
Private Investigator Medal of Honor
Seriously, Keith is easily the best PI in Neptune (Like Vinnie Van Lowe could ever compete), and he's also only person who really knows how to do his job. He's brave, smart, extremely determined and altogether the perfect crime-fighting package. It's a shame that Neptune hated him after the Lily Kane murder or he would have been sheriff forever.
The Ultimate Dad Award For Terrible Dad Jokes
And here I thought my dad's joke where he literally hangs on to an object when I say "hang on" was the corniest dad joke ever. Actually it might be, Keith's jokes kind of make dad jokes cool... kind of.
The Razzie For Letting Alicia Fennel Get Away
I had to put one negative thing into the mix. Keith was a fool for letting Alicia slip away. These two should have ended up together. Keith + Alicia, the true OTP of Veronica Mars?

Regina muttered her farewell and scrambled into the truck. Kathryn stayed leaning against the front of the truck, scratching Bea behind the ears and talking with Pastor Small. She knew her companion wanted to get out of there, but she also knew the minister had questions. He had been patient and helpful and accepted what she told him. She couldn't repay him any other way except with as many answers as she could safely give.
"I really appreciate this," she said. "Not many people these days will help strangers with such a flimsy explanation."
"That isn't reason enough?" Pastor Small laughed and gestured over his shoulder at the white steeple with the gray metal cross on top.
"It should be, but--" She decided not to get into that area.
Sometimes the nastiest, most uncooperative people she had run across in her journeys were people who claimed to be Christians. Nine times out of ten, they based their long lists of what a "real" Christian should be on their own opinions and schemes to earn their way into heaven, and never checked what the Bible said.
"What really convinced you? Back when we were talking in the sanctuary, there was a moment when I thought you were going to throw us out or call the police, then you changed your mind."

Do you believe Maddie and David are "together"? Why or why not? (Yeah, I stole this one from the old thread, but it's still a good question!)If you are asking if, during this episode, Maddie and David acted as a couple, well, yeah, I think so. I fully expected them to grow together during this season, not turn into the debacle we wound up with. I think that even at the END of this episode, they are together, and were going to work through the pain of losing the baby as a team, as partners.

Understanding and determining medical necessity can be very complex for you, whether you're a physician, clinician, coders, or biller. That's because the definitions of medical necessity will vary depending on who you are. And the fact that the definitions and guidelines keep changing makes it critical for you to stay on top of the changes so that you don't face payment denials at every turn.
Catch up on the latest medical necessity documentation guidelines in this audio conference by coding and reimbursement expert Kim Huey. Find out how the definition of medical necessity has changed; the keys for using the medical necessity modifiers -GA, -GY, -GZ; and the difference between not medically necessary vs. not covered. Huey will show you how to use the Advanced Beneficiary Notification for Medicare and other payers, and provide examples of the right (and wrong) way to document medical necessity.
After attending this session, you will be able to confidently access medical necessity guidelines in ICD-10. You will understand the new diagnosis coding guidelines, i.e. how to document and code to paint the accurate picture of the patients you are treating. You will know how to clearly and directly explain medical necessity to physicians, patients, and payers.
Huey's 35 years of experience in healthcare and Master of Jurisprudence in Health Law helps her to analyze issues and advise clients on new processes and policies they need to implement. So be sure to attend this session and leverage her hands-on experience so that you face fewer medical necessity denials and make more effective appeals in 2019.

Whether you're decorating a single room or a whole house, a cottage or a castle, you will start by choosing the style or styles you want to implement. Remember, there is nothing wrong in mixing different interior styles, just be consistent. In order to choose what is right for you - you must first focus on your likes and dislikes, then understand the elements which will help you achieve your dream room or express your very unique taste.
Design styles implemented by Lux Builders & Remodeling :
California Bungalow | Cape Code |Coastal Living | French & Country Style | Victorian House Style | Contemporary | Mediterranean | Traditional & Antique | Casual Style | Formal Style | Tropical & Plantation Style | Eclectic & Bohemian Style
TIP: Two Big Families: Colors can be classified as either warm or cool. If the color has yellow undertones, it is warm (orange, fire-engine red, yellow-green). If it has blue undertones, it is cool (royal blue, maroon, deep forest green). This principle also applies to lighter shades of the color.
TIP: Group Pieces for Impact: Color is as good starting point as any when accessorizing a room. A grouping of objects in the same one or two colors, displayed together, acquires the status of a collection and is a more important decorative element than those same objects displayed separately.
TIP: One Step Away: You can use more than one fabric pattern in a room, but for cohesiveness, each should have one or more colors in common with the primary fabric. For instance, a room might draw its color scheme from an upholstery fabric with blue and green on a cream background. One accent pillow might be blue, another blue and green, and another green and cream.
TIP: Finding Balance:-Color proportions make an enormous difference in how a room looks and feels. The vivid color you use as an accent may seem overwhelming on large surfaces such as walls or carpeting. Or you might find that you appreciate its powerful statement. There's no right or wrong way to allocate various color - it's a matter of preference.

While brand safety risk is on the rise globally, it is actually decreasing in the UK as its advertising industry takes proactive measures to counter it, according to a report by measurement and analytics specialist Integral Ad Science (IAS). The findings suggest that while advertisers are right to be concerned about brand safety, it is possible for them to mitigate the risks.
Globally, brand risk grew across desktop video advertising, rising from 8.9 percent in H2 2016 to 10.7 percent in H1 2017. Risk on mobile video advertising was higher still, at 14.6 percent according to the report. But where advertisers have been sufficiently aware of the risks and taken steps to avoid it, they had found a measure of success.
The UK resisted the global trend, with desktop brand risk falling from 6.8 percent in H2 2016 to 3.7 percent in H1 2017. Risk of adverts being programmatically served alongside violent content in particular decreased by 29.4 percent during this period. "The findings from our H1 2017 Media Quality Report further highlight that with industry attention and proactive measures, improvements in brand safety can be made" said Nick Morley, EMEA managing director at IAS. "This can be seen in the reduction of brand safety risk linked with violent content, due to a greater industry awareness and work undertaken to put controls in place."
Awareness of brand safety risk has been especially high since many large brands pulled their ads from Google products earlier this year, after discovering that their ads were being played alongside offensive content on YouTube. Following the scandal, though, YouTube has taken steps to combat brand risk, and many brands have opted to advertise with 'Google Preferred' channels as a safer option. It is this kind of awareness and evasive action which has helped reduce risk in certain areas.
The IAS report suggested that further investment in programmatic may be the next avenue in which brand safety can be improved. Programmatic buys currently carry a much higher risk than direct buys, but IAS believes that with further development, programmatic technology could actually help reduce risk, since "programmatic not only offers greater efficiency, but also insights and tools to make smarter buys".
