20 Jul School Hall Display
Alexandra Palace is within a stones throw of Alexandra Primary. Indeed, many of our pupils can view it from their classrooms. Earlier this year, we decided to have a whole school focus on Ally Pally. The outcomes of this were many. One idea was to create a piece of art, based on Ally Pally, which the whole school could contribute to. After some discussions, we decided to build our own Ally Pally using silver and gold tissue paper as the bricks – and also the faces of all the children at our school.
This is the story of how the whole school contributed.
1. Nursery – creating fireworks using fluorescent paints, black paper, a salad spinner and lots of elbow power. Definitely had a WOW factor!
2. Reception – getting mucky, using their fingers to create fireworks.
3. Year 1 – using their choice of poster paints and ear buds to create yet more fireworks. Very effective.
4. Early Years Board – building it brick by brick, photo by photo. This is so fiddly and the children showed great concentration.
5. KS1 Board – yet more sticking, slow work but they did so well.
6. KS2 Board – the older children could progress more quickly and worked really hard to build this up.
7. Year 2 – the whole class made their own stained glass windows based on the Ally Pally Rose Window.
8 Then some Year 2 and Year 3 students made the real Rose Window for the KS2 board.
9 We needed some arches for all three boards. Year 2 and Year 3 did some printing – sponge and black paint on card. A messy business!
10 Year 3 – Argentina class used coloured matchsticks to try to recreate the BBC Tower at Ally Pally.
11 Some Year 3 children came to do it for real on the KS2 board.
12 Here's all the boards together. Now we need to get them up above the dining hall. Well done Team Alexandra!

This article will provide some great tips on Organic Gardening toronto that can help.
Plant ever-bearing strawberries for your children. Children love to snap up these sweet juicy fruits for themselves and will be much more willing to help you if they can pluck their own fruit from the garden.
The ideal temperature to set your thermostat for indoor plants should be kept between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. The temperature needs to remain warm so the plants can grow. If this is a little too warm for your house, consider purchasing a heat lamp to use on the plants.
A good tip to help your plants stay healthy and fight diseases is to use aspirin water. One and a half aspirin, dissolved in two gallons of water, can be a great addition to your plants. The solution can then be used to spray the entire plant, and will offer protection naturally. Be sure to repeat this process every two or three weeks.
This will also gives your flower beds a more aesthetic aspect.
Put used coffee grounds in your soil. Coffee grounds add many nitrogenous nutrients to the soil that plants will utilize.
You should add a two to three inch layer of organic mulch to your flower bed. Mulching helps to hold moisture in the soil, enhance the soil quality, and slow down the growth of weeds. It will also increase the visual appeal of the flower beds.
Try to work in your organic garden at least a short time each day. Even if you can't tend to your garden daily, you can try little things that will prevent you from having a lot of work when you return to your garden. For example, snatch out a weed or two whenever you pass by the garden, take a few moments to pull some weeds as well.
Your compost pile should contain green plant materials and dried ones in equal amounts. Green plant material consists of spent flowers, fruit waste, leaves, vegetable waste, and grass clippings. Dried plant materials are things like shredded newspaper, sawdust, sawdust, straw, and any cut up wood materials. Avoid ashes, meat, diseased plants and meat-eating animal manure.
Do you want to know how to kill weeds naturally? Take layers of newspapers and layer them for controlling weeds. Weeds must have sunlight to grow. The newspaper will block sunlight and weeds because they no longer receive any sunlight. Newspapers break down into compost nicely. You can add mulch to make them look more attractive if you like!
Make sure you consider adequate spacing when planting your garden, so that each plant is given room enough to grow and flourish. Many people don't realize exactly how much space a plant needs when it grows. Plants don't just need enough space for their physical size; they also need enough space for the air in your garden to circulate properly. Plan your garden accordingly, and make sure the right distance is between the seeds.
Some examples include ageratum and ageratum. If you're not sure if your seeds need sunlight, check the seed package or search online for the information.
Create raised beds with stone, bricks or untreated wood. Choose a wood that is naturally resistant to rot and is untreated. Some good woods are locust, locust and cypress. In order to avoid toxic substances from getting into the ground and perhaps into your vegetables, don't use treated wood since its chemicals can leech into the food crops and soil.If the ground cover you've used already contained treated lumber, line it with some plastic and replace the soil near it.
If you want to sell your crops, you should look into obtaining a certification proving that you are an organic garden. This can boost sales and tell loyal customers that you're providing the best produce out there.
Do not let your gardening chores add up. Even if you can't tend to your garden daily, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it. For example, if you have a dog, pull a few weeds while you are outdoors with the dog. Over time, you keep your garden weed free without adding any additional time on to your day.
Add mulch to your soil healthy.The right amount of mulch in a garden also works to protect the soil underneath it. Mulch will keep the soil is kept cool on hot days and protect your roots. It will also keeps soil moist longer by preventing water evaporation. This can also help to keep weeds under control.
You can skip watering for an entire day if rain is on the pending weather.
If you change things up on a regular basis by varying your planting locations, you will have a way to keep fungus at bay.
When you want to harvest the produce in your organic garden, always have an old laundry basket to hand. Most laundry baskets are designed with a multitude of holes. This makes them a perfect strainer for washing your vegetables. If you hose off your produce in the laundry basket, the water will leave the basket through the holes in the sides.
When setting up an organic garden, a great tip is to plant another set of tomatoes after three weeks of planting the original ones. This way you are not have to harvest all at one time.
It will only takes a few steps to create a great perennial garden. Use the spade to get under the turf, flip it, and then bury the whole area under a thick layer of wood chips. Wait a few weeks and then plant your perennials into the new bed.
You need to mulch your flowerbed and garden with about three inches of organic material. This will help your garden by adding nourishment to the soil, holding in moisture levels, inhibiting the growth of unsightly weeds, and improving the overall appearance of the garden.
Do you want to get rid of weeds in a natural way? You need to have many layers of newspapers in order to provide proper weed control. Like any other plant, weeds need to be exposed to the sun. When you cover weeds with newspaper layers, they suffocate due to lack of light. Newspapers also break down over time, becoming part of your compost. Of course, you may wish to cover the paper with mulch to make it appear more attractive.

Permanent Life insurance is in essence a broad term for life insurance policies that do not expire. And unlike term life insurance, permanent life plans also combine the death benefits with a savings portion. This savings portion involves the building up of a cash value that the policy owner can borrow funds against, or even in some cases, can be withdrawn if funds are suddenly needed. Permanent life insurance is coverage for your entire life. There is no need to renew this type of policy and as long as you pay your premiums and keep the policy in force, your policy stays in effect for your whole life. The amount for which you are insured will then be paid to your beneficiaries at the time of your death – even if you live past 100.
Permanent insurance operates differently from term life insurance. The premiums are always larger – often five to 10 times the size. The reason that premiums on a permanent policy are more than the actual cost of the policy is that a portion of that premium goes into a savings component known as the policy's "cash value." This is why permanent insurance is also referred to as "cash value" insurance. At the beginning, the cash value is very low because much of the early premiums go towards sales charges and agent's commissions. But as time passes, the cash value accumulates and the insurer can pay the policyholder depending on the dividends or interest agreed upon. Permanent life insurance is therefore more like an investment than an insurance policy.
Until your policy is redeemed, this savings will continue to increase and earn money. At the point of redemption, depending on the type of policy you have taken, the cash value is either surrendered to the insurance company or included your death benefits. But the savings portion of your permanent life insurance policy is more than just a way to increase your death benefits. The main advantage is that you have access to this money at any time during your life allowing you to cover any expenses that you otherwise might not have been able to afford.
You can use the cash value component of your policy by requesting a low interest rate loan from your insurance company and use the cash-value account as a guarantee or by surrendering the cash value portion (completely or partially). Surrendering your policy in essence means that you are terminating it. A Full Surrender implies that the death benefits and any cash value accrued will be paid to you and the contract between you and the insurance company is over. A Partial Surrender means that only a portion of the death benefit and cash value will be paid to you. The remainder will be adjusted against your existing policy. Keep in mind that not all insurance companies allow you to partially surrender your policy, and if they do, it may be only under extreme circumstances.
Another perk of permanent life insurance policies is that they enjoy favorable tax treatment. You pay no taxes on any earnings in the policy as long as the policy remains active. Money can also be withdrawn from the policy without being subject to taxes as such loans are not considered taxable income.
How the cash value portion of your policy is handles is in fact the basis for the major differences in between the types of permanent life insurance available. Each type offers varying levels of freedom and flexibility in reference to premium payments and control of your investments. These include:
Whole life insurance
Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that remains in effect throughout one's life. Generally, the premiums for this type of policy remain level throughout the life of the insured. This type of insurance plan also develops cash values that can be accessed by the policy holder through surrenders or policy loans. Cash values in whole life insurance policies typically include two components. There is a guaranteed cash value, which grows on a pre-determined schedule and which equals the death benefit upon maturity of the policy. There is also a non-guaranteed cash value element that is made up of dividends, which add to the value of the life insurance policy over time.
Universal life insurance
With universal life insurance, all three elements of the policy are differentiated. There is the protection element or the death benefits, the expense element, and the cash value component. Separating these elements offers the policy greater flexibility and allows the holder (within certain guidelines) the ability to modify the face amount or the premium in response to changing needs and circumstances.
Variable Life Insurance
A variable life policy offer the most flexibility and control. The policyholder can decide how the cash-value portion is invested. But be warned, this type of policy should only be taken by people who have the experience and understanding of the markets and the ability to closely monitor and manage their policy portfolios. The rewards may be greater but the risks are high as well. Variable life insurance is also one of the more expensive plans available today.

Gallo<>Flórez Duo at Areté Venue and Gallery
Wednesday June 12, 2019, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm$15
Gallo<>Flórez Duo: Algo Más Melódico CD Release Party
6/12/19, 7:00pm
Ricardo Gallo, piano
Alejandro Flórez, tiple and bandola
In this new release by Gallo<>Flórez the clear allusions to Colombian Andean musical folklore from the previous album are artfully shrouded by layers of rhythmic and harmonic richness, rendering the music more expansive and visceral. Lyricism is present throughout, whether in the angular twists of Emisarios or Algo Más Melódico, the colorful and irregular phrases of Hermetismo (inspired by Hermeto Pascoal's similarly virtuosic melodies and harmonies), the unlikely, dystopian soundscape of Acueducto or their heartfelt rendition of Andrew Hill's Nefertiti, the only cover of the album, which ironically reminds the listener of the primary influences of the duo. This is a mature effort by a team of composers/improvisers who move effortlessly in the worlds of jazz, contemporary and South American music, creating an intriguing and enchanting aesthetic.

New South Wales Minister for Racing Paul Toole
New South Wales Minister for the Arts Don Harwin
Lockout Exemption For Mardi Gras Parade
Victor P Taffa
Minister for Racing Paul Toole today announced that the New South Wales Government will provide an exemption to lockout requirements at venues in the Oxford Street area for the 40th Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade.
Minister Toole said the one-off exemption means patrons can continue to be admitted at venues in the area beyond the usual 1.30 am or 2 am restrictions.
It follows arrangements for other major events, like the Sydney CBD and Kings Cross lockout exemption on New Year's Eve, and extended Sunday night trading for certain hotels and registered clubs across New South Wales for the NRL Grand Final.
Venues will still need to cease serving alcohol at their normal times of 3am on the morning of Sunday, March 4, or 3.30 am for venues with live entertainment extensions, and comply with their other licence conditions.
"New South Wales Government is pleased to relax the lockout laws as part of its support for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade." Minister Toole said.
"It's an internationally-renowned event that attracts visitors from all over the world and injects around $40 Million into the New South Wales economy each year."
"Relaxing the requirements will give people more time to make their way to surrounding venues and events when the parade finishes."
Minister Toole said New South Wales Police and Liquor & Gaming New South Wales inspectors will be present in the Oxford Street, Kings Cross and Sydney CBD precincts to ensure venues are providing a safe environment for people to celebrate.
Minister for the Arts Don Harwin said the decision recognises the importance of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as it celebrates an historical milestone.
"City will come alive and this move allows businesses to take full advantage of the influx of the large crowds expected." Minister Harwin said.
"It's an important milestone for the LGBTI community and we trust everyone will have a safe evening celebration."

- Push-out Score determined
- After almost 13 years in the position
- Milan Galik taking over
- Peterffy will remain as Chairman at Interactive Brokers
- Peterffy said 114 words
(exechange) — Greenwich, Connecticut, January 7, 2019 — Thomas Peterffy, chief executive of Interactive Brokers, leaves his post. His departure is made public at an early stage. As announced by Interactive Brokers Group Inc. in a news release and in a regulatory filing published on Monday, January 7, 2019, Thomas Pechy Peterffy leaves his post as Chief Executive Officer at the retail brokerage after almost 13 years in the role, effective in the third quarter of 2019.
It is the end of an era.
Among the 3,000 largest publicly held companies incorporated in the U.S. based on market capitalization, the average tenure of the CEOs who departed over the past 12 months was 8.7 years, according to data compiled by exechange. Only 35 percent of the CEOs who departed over the past 12 months left the position after more than 10 years.
Thomas Peterffy's duties will be taken over by Milan Galik, currently President of Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.
It is a generational change as well. Milan Galik is about 23 years younger than Thomas Peterffy.
"I grow older"
Thomas Peterffy's departure from the CEO post is explained as follows. Peterffy said: "I put all my energies into building this Company for the past 42 years and there is nothing I would rather do than work here forever. On the other hand, as I grow older, I must recognize that Milan will do a much better job running the Company than I would."
Peterffy will remain as Chairman at Interactive Brokers
"Mr. Peterffy will continue as Chairman of the Board and remain closely involved in the operations of the company that he founded. These changes will occur in the third quarter of 2019, concurrently with Mr. Peterffy's 75th birthday," Interactive Brokers said.
Interactive Brokers said: "Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IEX: IBKR), announced today that it will appoint Mr. Milan Galik as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, succeeding Mr. Thomas Peterffy in this role."
Share price decline
The management change announcement follows a decline in Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.'s share price of 32 percent since May 2018.
In the position of CEO since 2006
Peterffy has been the Chairman of the Company's Board and Chief Executive Officer since November 2006.
Peterffy has been at the forefront of applying computer technology to automate trading and brokerage functions since he emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1965.
In 1977, after purchasing a seat on the American Stock Exchange and trading as an individual marker maker in equity options, Peterffy was among the first to apply a computerized mathematical model to continuously value equity option prices.
By 1986, Peterffy developed and employed a fully integrated, automated market making system for stocks, options and futures.
As this pioneering system extended around the globe, online brokerage functions were added and, in 1993, Interactive Brokers was formed.
Push-out Score determined
The Push-out Score™ determined by exechange gauges the likelihood that a manager was pushed out or felt pressure to leave the position.
exechange reached out to Interactive Brokers and offered the company the opportunity to comment on the score.
Read the full story in the exechange report 2.2019 ($).

Dear visitor, here you'll find all relevant information about my past exhibitions. The aim is to leave a track of these events and to allow you to discover them if you couldn't make it.
23/09/10 – 29/10/10 – Brussels and Berlin meet in Cologne
You can watch hereunder a diashow presenting all the pictures and the scenography.
Or watch it in HD and full screen directly on you tube
After a 6 months artist residence in Berlin, I had the opportunity to mount a solo show with new photographic material made recently in Berlin, Cologne and Brussels.
The exhibition took place in the frame of the audacious architecture platform Plan 10 Forum aktueller Architektur in Köln, at the Belgian House (Cäcilienstrasse 46, 50667 Cologne), between September 23 to October 29 2010.
The exhibition was organized by the representation of the Region of Brussels-Capital in Cologne in the frame of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union (june-december 2010). I would like to thank Mrs. Elke Große-Schaeper, Mr. Armand Marchal, Consul, and Mr. Bart Vandeputte, Attaché. Many thanks to the whole Cologne based team. They delivered a great support and shared so much enthusiasm.
Plan project Forum aktueller architektur in Köln is a yearly platform rassembling ideas, projects and realizations about new architecutre in and around Cologne (Germany): The exhibition and event programm "plan" was launched in 1999 with the goal of creating a new mode of communication for architecture and urban development – an annual cultural occasion which is aimed equally at "insiders" from all sectors of architecture and at the general public. The "Forum for Contemporary Architecture" offers a network situation which serves not only to facilitate direct contact between those involved in architectural and urban development processes, but also to promote more public involvement with architecture, urban planning and building culture (source: www.plan-project.com).
By clicking on the following link, you'll discover the excerpt of the Plan 10 program relating to my exhibition (pdf-file, in German).
Rediscover the invitation by simply clicking here.
And finally, I would like to share with you some press articles about this exhibition
June 2010 – Papergirl Berlin #5
14/01/10 – 14/02/10 – Exhibition at Boycott Gallery Brussels
Beginning of 2010, I published Abstracts, an artbook reproducing 73 pictures that I made between 1998 and 2010. This publication was an excellent opportunity to mount an exhibition to show some pictures of the book, in big format.
May 2008 – Collective Exhibition at Shunt Lounge London
The Brussels meets Brighton 4-day festival was created by Brighton-based soundscaper Fred Monnoye. The aim was to allow British and Belgian artists to have a cross-over look to the other country and its culture. As a result, this festival showed performances, unseen movies, installations and art pieces about each respective country: British look on Belgium, Belgian look on the UK. Personnaly, I made a diashow with my view on UK's most perverted city (or should I call it liberal city?), Brighton. The diashow was afterwards sent to Brighton to be soundscaped by Fred and finally shown in London.
The result can be seen by clicking here.
Hereafter I would like to share some atmosphere pictures made at the Shunt Lounge during this incredible festival which gathered about 3500 art and culture enthusiasts.

It gets even more challenging when multiple orbs appear on the screen at the same time, requiring players to use both their hands simultaneously in this extreme brain exercise. All the songs are instrumental so there are no issues with lyrics, and no other questionable content appears in the game. Parents need to know that this game is very challenging and is designed for players who already have experience playing other music games.

Key Programs
There are many different disability benefits programs. This section explains three of the most important ones:
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Medical Assistance (MA)
- Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities (MA-EPD)
Make sure you understand why these programs are important by reading the introductions to them below. Private health care coverage is also discussed as it is an important health coverage alternative.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI is the most important income support benefit for young people. Even if you have never had a job, you may be able to get SSI. Even if you are under 18 and live with your parents, you may be able to get SSI.
Who it helps
People who are disabled or blind may not be able to work or afford to live on their own. If you have a disability, don't have enough money for your basic needs, don't have much income, and have limited assets, you may be able to get SSI. If you have a disability, are under the age of 18, and your parents have low income and limited assets, you may also be eligible for SSI.
What it provides
If you qualify for SSI, you get a monthly check. This money helps you pay your expenses, like food and rent. Most people who get SSI also qualify for Medical Assistance (MA).
Learn more in SSI Eligibility for Young People.
SSDI is another major income support benefit for people with disabilities. When you work, taxes are taken out of your paycheck. Some of those taxes are automatically paid into the SSDI program. If you have paid enough money into SSDI, you will get SSDI benefits if your disability prevents you from working.
SSDI isn't a very important program for most young people, because they haven't worked long enough to get benefits from it. While you probably don't qualify for SSDI now, if you get a job you will qualify later, and the more you work, the bigger your SSDI check will be if you need it!
To learn more, read DB101's section on SSDI.
Medical Assistance (MA)
MA is the most important public health benefit for young people with disabilities.
Who it helps
MA is for people who cannot afford medical expenses, including people who are disabled, young, or pregnant. Generally, to get it, you or your family must have low income.
What it provides
If you qualify, MA pays for your medical expenses, including visits to the doctor, hospital stays, prescription drugs, medical equipment, and other medical services.
Read MA Eligibility for Young People to learn more.
MinnesotaCare is another public program that is very similar to MA. It is most helpful for people who are 18 or over, do not have a disability determination, make too much income for MA according to the rules in DB101's MA article, and cannot get coverage through an employer. Read DB101's MinnesotaCare article to learn more.
Note: Some immigrants under 18 may be able to get MinnesotaCare even if they do not qualify for MA. In most other cases, if you are under 18, you will not qualify for MinnesotaCare because you could get MA instead.
Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities (MA-EPD) Basics
MA-EPD lets you get a job, save up some money, and keep your MA health coverage.
Who it helps
MA-EPD is for people with disabilities who have jobs. There is no income limit, but you do have to pay a monthly premium to get it, with the amount of the premium depending on your income.
What it provides
MA-EPD pays for the same services that standard MA covers, including visits to the doctor, hospital stays, medical equipment, and other medical services.
Learn more in MA-EPD Eligibility for Young People.
There is another way you can keep getting MA while you work. If you lost your SSI because of earnings from work, you can continue to get MA through a rule called SSI 1619(b). It is exactly the same MA coverage that you had before you started working. 1619(b) is explained in more detail in MA Eligibility for Young People.
Private Health Care Coverage
Private health insurance is the most common way people get health coverage.
Who it helps
People get private health care coverage in different ways. Some people have private health care coverage that is paid for by their employers; others get it from their parents' employers; and some people pay for it with their own money. If your family income is at or below 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines ($49,960 per year if you are single) and you get an individual health plan, the government may help pay for your monthly premium through tax subsidies.
What it provides
Private health care coverage pays for some of your medical costs when you see a doctor or other health care provider, or get prescription medicine at a pharmacy. Depending on your private health care coverage plan, the plan may pay for almost the entire cost of your medical expenses, or it may pay only a portion of those expenses.

15 Remote Assistance Apps - Augmented Reality
Comparing the present-day states of the consumer and enterprise sectors of augmented reality is like evaluating the merits of sports car versus work trucks. Like consumer AR, sports cars are sexy and exciting, but perhaps a bit impractical at times. On the other hand, enterprise AR is utilitarian, but it gets the job done and, in the long run, pays for itself.

(Reuters) – A former Mexican police officer accused of organizing a hit squad for the once-powerful Tijuana drug cartel pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court on Friday to racketeering and drug trafficking, prosecutors said.
Carlos Cosme, 36, was an officer with the Baja California State Attorney General's Office when he hired a colleague to set up a hit squad for the Tijuana cartel, which dominated trafficking to California in the 1980s and 1990s.
That officer, Jose Ortega Nuno, a supervisor with the office's sex crimes unit, pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges in December 2011, prosecutors said.
Both men were among a group of 42 suspects arrested in California in July 2010.
The Tijuana cartel, which was run by the Arellano-Felix brothers, funneled hundreds of millions of dollars worth of narcotics to U.S. markets.
After the death and capture of many of its leaders over the past decade, including three Arellano-Felix brothers who headed the clan, the feared cartel is now a shadow of its former self.
The rival Sinaloa cartel, run by Mexico's most-wanted man, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, has largely taken over the cartel's valuable turf in Tijuana.
Cosme admitted to conspiring to commit murder and to selling and importing several pounds of methamphetamine for the Tijuana cartel in court, prosecutors said.
His guilty plea is the 39th conviction in a massive multi-agency effort to target drug cartel operations on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border that resulted in a 2010 indictment.
The lead defendant in that indictment, Armando Villareal-Heredia, was extradited to the United States to face charges earlier this week.
Cosme faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a fine of more than $10 million. He will be sentenced on August 27.
In April, cartel kingpin Benjamin Arellano-Felix was sentenced to 25 years in U.S. federal prison for drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering.
His brother Ramon, the cartel's flamboyant enforcer, died in a shoot-out in 2002. Francisco Javier is serving a life sentence in U.S. federal prison after being captured on a fishing boat in 2006. Eduardo is in jail in Mexico awaiting extradition.
Roughly 55,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico in the past six years as rival cartels fight each other and government forces.

"The final process of risk-based management is monitoring and controlling of risks. These two come together all the time. Monitoring without control is exercise in futility. When executing an approved risk-based plan, a good risk-based management practitioner wants it implemented correctly and effectively using optimum resources. Track all risks regularly in order to appreciate current developments. Observe changes in priority, relevance, constraints, assumptions, and at times, objectives. Maintain a good recording system but avoid getting lost in the data (Frago, R., 2015.Risk-based Management in the World of Threats and Opportunities\Chapter 2 Risk-based Management).
Schedule management is a form of risk management.
Identifying and validating project constraints affecting the schedule is an important part of monitoring and control. Constraints for the most part are project assumptions. Treat them with caution and respect.
Once started, the project is actually operating under three big traditional major constraints* of cost, time, and scope (*note that PMBOK had recently came up with six constraints). Constraints imposed on activities are multiple limitations that will most likely further make it challenging and difficult to manage time.
The critical path ultimately dictates the duration of the project. For this reason, a planning and scheduling person has to understand how constraints affect the schedule.
Effects of Constraints on the Longest Path
To test the effect of constraints, we applied Mandatory Finish of 05-Feb-10 to activity C1080 and Finish on or Before 31-Mar-10 to C1160 (Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Constraints Applied to Project Schedule XYZ-1
Despite the application of Mandatory Finish of 05-Feb-10 for C1080 and Finish on or Before 31-Mar-10 for C1160, while the TF values change, the Longest Path remained the same. In this case, the constraints did not affect the original Longest Path.
Figure 2 – Despite applying the constraints, LP remained the same
To make sure whether the above finding holds true, we apply Finish On constraint of 29-Oct-2010 on a singular downstream activity PMR7040 Commissioning Steam Path. This forces the activity to a later finish date. Upon calculation, strings of activities previously belonging to the Longest Path suddenly ceased to be (Figure 3), turning all the bars green.
Figure 3 – Finish On Constraints Removed Criticality from Activities
The application of the Finish On constraint changes the value of the TF, the Float Path, and the Criticality of the affected activities. It is clear now that the Longest Path has changed, affected by the introduction of constraints. This knowledge should be a good starting point for scheduling beginners.
Filtering the result such that only the Primary Critical Path is showing, we now look at just three activities. The original path was finally broken.
This is why the application of constraints must go through the right rationale and not used haphazardly. It has to be a sensible part of the project execution plan and better, the schedule risk model (Figure 4).
Figure 4 – Only Three Primary Critical Activities Remained
Using the same XYZ-1 project schedule with the same constraints (Figure 1), we calculate using TF = Zero.
As expected, a broken critical path in the network typical of a schedule with constraints appeared. The network path is continuous; i.e. without break from October 2009 to September 2010. We observe that the last activity to which previous schedule calculation referred to has disappeared from the path.
Critical path was broken after C1190 Install piping assembly. It is the direct result of constraints applied to just two activities. Perhaps, the full appreciation of what constraints do to CP has now started to dawn on our readers. Instead of starting from the data date of October 2009 and completing on September 2010, this path has abruptly ended on July 1, 2010 (Figure 5). The effects were undeniable.
Figure 5 – Abrupt end to CP due to Constraints
When this sample schedule has all constraints removed from the project schedule, the critical path (CP) criteria of TF = Zero changes complexion and follows closely what the Longest Path shows. It might not be the same exactly and with a few missing activity but the alignment is close enough to effectively managed the project.
For an unconstrained and already-started schedule, the critical path should show a list of cascading activities from the data date down to the last activity. The path does not have break between the data date and the last deliverable.
Can you imagine what will happen when the numbers of constraints are increased? What it would do to your schedule? Will your schedule still represent the most likely? You are right! A schedule riddled with constraints can become so problematic it could ultimately lead to project failure.
Changing Schedule Attributes
When a planning and scheduling person changes the attributes of an activity, he changes the schedule attributes and will most likely change the critical path. Updating a schedule is one. For example, it is normal occurrence to update the schedule with actual data periodically. It takes more than just basic planning and scheduling knowhow to make a reliable and intelligent update. Ensure that a qualified person does the job.
Updates to the schedule are changes to the schedule. They include the application of soft constraints which was discussed earlier (Finish on or after, Start on or after, Finish on or before, Start on or Before, and hard constraints (mandatory dates: Finish on and Start on).
Using constraints does not mean it is wrong to do so absolutely. The fact of the matter is, it might sometime be the best and only way to model the current project information or would-be event.
What is important here is to know what, when, where, and how to do it, and to be aware of the possible risk consequences.
Never operate the Primavera tool (or any tool) blindly without understanding the planning and scheduling processes involved. Plan to schedule and schedule to plan (Frago, R., 2015.Plan to Schedule, Schedule to plan).
As Late As Possible
As late as possible (ALAP) is another form of constraint. However, ALAP has a special place in the heart of many planners/schedulers.
In recent years, I noticed that "as late as possible" constraint has become very popular. The use becomes more prevalent when the JIT (Just in time) philosophy was at its zenith. It was reported that JIT was introduced in the west's manufacturing industry in the 1980 (Wikipedia, 2015.Just-in-time Manufacturing).
There was a resurgence of popularity in the last ten years or so when JIT becomes part company strategies addressing project construction logistics, delivery, material and inventory issues; e.g. module setting JIT, major equipment installation JIT, parts and materials JIT, etc. To JIT, ALAP is friend.
As Late as Possible constraint is a restriction imposed on a scheduling activity or work unit with positive float that allows it to start as late as possible without delaying the successor activities. This constraint sets the early dates as late as possible without affecting successor activities (P6 Project Management e-Help, 2010).
As can be seen on the example below (Figure 6), the application of "as late as possible" constraint forced the critical path (longest path) to shift from GFCBA to GFECBA. Activity E suddenly found itself on the path.
When the project does not give much thought to how it applies the ALAP constraint, the complexion of the project schedule changes. The creation of artificial critical path (not the real critical path) is the end-result.
This becomes especially concerning during blanket application of ALAPs; i.e. ALAPs applied to a bunch of like category activities such as delivery of equipment and their respective installation. It is convenient for the scheduler but does not guarantee effective time management (Frago, R., 2015).
Figure 6 – ALAPs Influences Schedule Critical Path
Frago, R. (2015).Risk-based Management in the World of Threats and Opportunities: A Project Controls Perspective
Frago, R. (2015).Slideshare.com\Understanding ALAP.Slide No. 4
Periodic updates to capture actuals, expected dates (i.e. forecast dates that I often refer to as "forced-cast dates" for obvious reasons), external dates, and other contrivances often create an artificial critical path that calculates against many endpoints.
The Unwanted Result
Pardon the harsh assessment but I dare say that such undisciplined scheduling practices and set-up grow into the root causes of untenable schedule.
Schedule constraints are analogous to big boulders placed over the path of a river. It hinders the natural flow, create whirlpool, eddies, and turbulence causing erosion to land and presenting dangers to those who venture near it.
They introduce inherent risks in the schedule that in many instances force activities to be more critical than they should. We must all remind ourselves to use constraints sparingly and sensibly with backed up rationale.
It has to be supportive of the final intent and not a reflection of foolish whim and empty notion.

It is s good question and the RNCs autopsy exposed some of them. They document said that they Republican party needs to focus on getting more involved with minorities, most importantly Latinos. What Republicans seemed to miss is that the autopsy didn't cover any important issues.
The Republicans problems run deep. They are weak on policy, weaker on the economy and absolutely horrible when it comes to women. There hasn't been a Republican policy that the majority of people have backed. In fact 90% of the people supported Universal Background checks, which Republicans shot down almost unanimously. What exactly have the conservatives done for our economy? It is almost universally agreed that the Republican obstruction has made our recovery more difficult. Women, just look up legitimate rape, Equal Pay for Women and VAWA. Republicans and the Tea Party voted against equal pay for women and VAWA.
They say that President Obama and the Democrats refuse to reach across the aisle. Although the Manchin/Toomey Gun Bill was bipartisan. President Obama taking Republicans to dinner to try to break the gridlock. Republicans do not care to work for the people, they work for their corporate sponsors. Each one of the Republican Senators that voted against Universal Background Checks recieved donations from the gun lobby. They are more afraid of the NRA then the people who put them in office.
For the Republican party to remain relevant in politics today they need to change their policies. Policies get people involved not talking points. When the Republican party does this, that is when they may gain support from not just minorities, but everyone.

Claiming The Promise Of Abraham
Contributed by Gerald Van Horn on Aug 5, 2016 (message contributor)
Summary: Abraham's Promise
Genesis 12:1-3. Now the Lord had said to Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred and from they father's house unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee: and in thee shall all families of earth be blessed.
The blessing is three fold: (1). I will give thee a land. (2). I will make thee a great nation. (3). I will bless thee. Hebrews 6:13-15.
Abraham was an idol worshipper. He was 75 years old when he left his family and his father's house. Genesis 12:4.
Blessing means, "beneficial endowment of the power of God to produce well being in a person." Abraham was old and well stricken in age and the Lord blessed him in all things. Genesis 24: 4.
If we are to claim the blessings of Abraham we must follow Abraham's example:
We do not need to understand everything about what God is doing we
Abraham's servant said, "The Lord hath blessed my master greatly and he has become great." Genesis 24:35.
Abraham lived to be 175 years old and his entire life was filled with blessings. Hebrews 11:8-10. The key to Abraham' blessing is obedience. Obedience is essential to faith and the first step to receiving the blessing. Abraham made offerings unto God. Genesis 12:7-8. Abraham was a worshipper. Abrahram found out who God was by their relationship He expected God to keep His word. He also found out things about himself. (It's called self-discovery)
1. Must be assured that it is something wonderful.
2. Attitude is everything.
3. We are to regard others above our selves.
4. We must learn that there is an inexhaustible supply of strength and well-being in God's Word and trust in it.
5. I will pour out my blessing. (eulogia) Means "to be blessed."
6. God will enlarge your capacity to receive. Galatians 3:7-10.
7. God will stop the Devil from messing with your stuff.
8. Your blessing will not be premature. Proverbs 11:24-26.
9. Criticism will not stop your blessing. vs.12 a.
10. You will be the envy of others.
We are Abraham's seed group. It's your ground. It's your plants. It's your field. It's seed.
11. Finally we must go God' way. God will line out your future. We must start somewhere. We must view We can discover from Abraham's example on how to open the windows of heaven
Abraham is God's envoy. He was not doing things for himself.
There are seven blessings produced by Abraham's covenant. Malachi 3:10-11.
God is saying test me and I will open the windows of heaven.
I will pour out blessings (eulogia- means "to bless.")
God will enlarge your capacity to receive. Galatians 3:7-10.
God will stop the Devil from messing with your stuff.
Your blessing will not be premature. Proverbs 11:24-26
Criticism will not stop your blessing. V. 12 (a)
You will be the envy of others.
4. We are all (every child of God) of Abraham's seed group
It's your ground to plant in.
It's your plants.
It's your field.
It's your seed. (You can save it till it rots or you can eat it)
5. We must go God's way
God will line out your future.
We must start somewhere.
We must view objects the way that God views them.

Bleeding hemorrhoids are considered to be the worst of its kind. Although there are internal and external it is usually the internal ones that cause the bleeding. With early detection and diagnoses from a doctor, bleeding hemorrhoids treatment can be started and relief will soon follow.
Bleeding Hemorrhoids Treatment
Although the cause for bleeding hemorrhoids is unknown, there are theories as to what might cause them. Inadequate intake of fiber along with chronic straining due to constipation and prolonged sitting on the toilet are thought to all be possible causes due to the amount of pressure on the rectum. Pregnancy is a clear cause, although the actual reason is not clear.
Hemorrhoid Miracle Ebook Review – An Honest Evaluation of the Program
Bleeding hemorrhoids treatment vary depending on the severity of the patient`s case, treatment can vary from applying topical creams to laser surgery. The most extreme type of treatment would be laser surgery; there are two types of laser surgery, infrared photocoagulation and laser coagulation. Laser coagulation uses a green spectrum laser light that is absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood and causes coagulation (blood clots). In infrared photocoagulation, an intense beam of infrared light creates heat that is used to cause scar tissue. This scar tissue cuts off the blood supply to the hemorrhoid which then causes it to shrink and fall off.
Another treatment is called rubber band ligation. In this type of procedure a doctor uses an anoscope (type of viewing instrument) inserted in the anus along with an instrument used for grasping. The doctor then grasps the hemorrhoid and using the device puts a rubber band around the base of it. This rubber band placement cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid causing it to shrink and eventually fall off. There is also a procedure called sclerotherapy. With this type of procedure a medicine is injected into the affected vessels, which causes them to shrink. If none of these procedures work or are unavailable there is also hemorrhoidectomy that can be considered. Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical removal of the hemorrhoid. With this procedure the patient is given either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, this is so the patient will feel no pain during the surgery.
Incisions are made in the tissue that surrounds the hemorrhoid. The vein that is swollen inside of the affected hemorrhoid is then tied off to avoid bleeding, and then is removed. The area of the removed hemorrhoid is either sewn closed or may be left open. Medicated gauze is then used to cover the wound.
When it comes to bleeding hemorrhoid treatments there is no short supply of antidotes. Smaller hemorrhoids can be treated usually with creams or a change in diet. Medium to large hemorrhoids might require a more severe treatment. Be sure to check with a medical professional before self medicating. They will be able to tell if it is just a hemorrhoid or something that might be more serious. The medical professional will also be able to prescribe medications or topical creams if need be or perform the needed procedure to relieve the uncomfortable and bothersome hemorrhoids. Hope you find this Bleeding Hemorrhoids Treatment helpful.

Artifact 1 - Mystery Skype
One of my favorite ways to use technology is to connect! Even more meaningful than reading or seeing something online is being able to interact with real people from whom we can learn. Our favorite way to connect so far has been through Mystery Skype. Last school year, my class connected with over 20 different classrooms around the country. This year we are connecting internationally, completing our first international connection this past October when we Skyped with a class of students in England. Aside from the "neat" factor (and more importantly) Mystery Skype teaches my students so many skills in such an efficient way. The students are using critical thinking skills, proper oral speaking, how to safely communicate online, map reading skills, logic, and so much more. I began using Mystery Skype as a way for students to learn how to read maps, but it has blossomed into so much more. The students are seeing the world in a more tangible way - there are faces and voices to tie to the places about which we've learned. These students are growing up in a global society, so connecting them with their peers from this early age will, no doubt, be of value to them as they continue to learn and grow.

The Duster project was born out of the simple premise that a real need existed in the world for a comfortable, strong and affordable 4x4, a category of vehicle which is currently not well served. Aware of this gap, the Renault group decided to develop an all-terrain vehicle aimed initially at emerging markets. The needs of European customers were also taken into account from the very start of the project.
- In emerging markets (Russia, Brazil, etc.), the middle classes aspire to owning a modern car that reflects their social status. At the same time, they want a strong car that is reliable, versatile and capable of standing up to climatic demands and conditions that can be both tough and varied (long distances, rugged, difficult terrain, use in built-up areas, often within large conurbations, etc.). The current offer is largely dominated by imported SUVs, which are often priced beyond the means of these middle classes.
- In Europe, Dacia's success has highlighted the demand for modern, reliable and affordable cars. Although the current range of 4x4s and SUVs is quite extensive, it neglects the call for a functional, affordable all-terrain vehicle, favouring instead showy SUVs that are expensive and often ill-suited to the needs of all-terrain motoring.
DACIA DUSTER, EVERYTHING A 4x4 SHOULD BE
Indisputable 4x4 looks…
At first glance, Dacia Duster is clearly a 4x4. Its front end exudes a sense of ruggedness, and the wide wheel arches, imposing chromed grille and sump guard all point to Dacia Duster 4x4 credentials. Seen from the side, its high ground clearance, clearly-defined wheel arches and body protection are an open invitation to take on even
the toughest roads and tracks.
Today's all-terrain vehicles are often synonymous with bulk, a preconception which Dacia Duster sweeps aside. Standing at a length of just 4.31 metres and a width of 1.82 metres, Dacia Duster is very compact, making it as at home in built-up areas as it is when taken off the beaten track. Although it clearly demonstrates that it belongs to the world of all-terrain motoring, Dacia Duster boasts attractive, yet unostentatious lines.
…with genuine go-anywhere ability
Dacia Duster was designed to tackle all types of roads and tracks, all over the world. In order to meet these varied needs, Dacia Duster will be available in all markets in both 4x2 form (for customers looking for high ground clearance, high driving position but who have no real need for a four-wheel drive daily driver) and with 4x4 transmission for off-road driving.
Dacia Duster's strengthened underside is suitable for dirt roads and all-terrain use thanks to its high ground clearance (more than 200mm) and big clearance angles (approach angle: 30 degrees; departure angle: more than 35 degrees).
Dacia Duster is easy to drive and not only aimed at all-terrain aficionados. The combination of its low unladen weight (1.180kg in 4X2 - 1,280kg in 4X41) and compact proportions ensure particularly agile handling. In the 4X4 version, thanks to the unique and intuitive control (sourced from Nissan) located in the cabin at the foot of the
central column, Dacia Duster drivers can easily adapt the vehicle's transmission configuration to meet their needs of the moment. This control allows one of three modes to be selected:
When the AUTO mode is selected, the front/rear torque split is calculated automatically as a function of available grip. This system is aimed at providing optimal traction, however much grip is available, and gives Dacia Duster genuine 4x4 ability. In normal conditions, the torque is transmitted through the front wheels only. If traction is lost, or when grip is at a premium, some of the torque is transferred to the rear axle. In extreme conditions, the torque is split equally front and rear. This split is performed by an electromagnetic torque converter supplied by Nissan.
- In LOCK mode, the driver electronically locks it into 4x4 mode, whereby 50 per cent of torque is consistently fed through the rear axle. This mode is recommended in low grip conditions (snow, mud, dirt, sand) at low speeds.
- In 4x2 mode, the transmission is locked into two-wheel drive. This mode is suited to driving on good roads and reduces fuel consumption.
Duster, the sixth vehicle in the Dacia range, remains true to the brand's philosophy by offering unbeatable cabin space for its price, plus low running costs thanks to its thrifty fuel consumption, as well as a high standard of security and reliability whatever the conditions.
Unbeatable cabin space for its price
Although Dacia Duster's price is comparable with that of a city car, its exterior and interior dimensions are more akin to those of a compact car from the next segment up.
Dacia Duster comfortably seats up to five adults. Both front and rear occupants enjoy the same amount of space as Dacia Logan passengers.
Dacia Duster's boot capacity is unbeatable, too, with a volume of up to 475dm3 ISO (depending on version).
With the rear benchseat folded and tipped forward, Dacia Duster offers impressive carrying ability which can exceed 1,600dm3 ISO.
Reliable engines with good fuel economy and low CO2 emissions
Both the 4x2 and 4x4 versions of Dacia Duster will be available with either a 1.6 16V 110hp petrol engine or with 85 dCi or 105 dCi diesel power. All three powerplants have already demonstrated their efficiency under the bonnet of a number of Renault group models.
These engines are perfectly suited to the criteria of cost, strength and ease of maintenance that are a hallmark of the Dacia range. Combined with Duster's low weight, they ensure that Dacia's newcomer returns low fuel consumption and boasts impressive ecological credentials, with the dCi diesel versions emitting less than 140g of CO2/km in 4x2 form (qualifying Duster for the Dacia eco? signature) and less than 150g of CO2/km in the case of the 4x4 versions.
Safety: an absolute priority
Dacia Duster benefits from Renault's acclaimed expertise in the area of safety.
Dacia's 4x4 features Bosch 8.1 ABS, as well as EBV electronic brakeforce distribution and emergency brake assist.
On the passive safety front, Dacia Duster comes as standard with two front airbags (depending on market) and three-point seat belts with load limiters for the front seats. Depending on version, two lateral head/thorax airbags are fitted in addition to the driver and passenger front airbags to provide additional protection in the case of an impact from the side. Pyrotechnic pretensioners for the front seats (depending on version) complete Dacia Duster's retention system. In addition to holding the thorax firmly in place, they limit forward movement of the body in the case of a frontal impact by tightening the belt around the thorax and the lap.
Reliability and strength: Dacia fundamentals
Like all the vehicles based on the B0/Logan platform, Dacia Duster has been engineered to deliver the hallmark strength and reliability motorists have come to expect of the brand.
Particular attention has been paid to anti-corrosion protection thanks to several precautions:
- wax-injected underbody and opening panel hollow sections,
- mastic sealing of exterior joints,
- additional wax treatment of underbody mechanical components,
- stone-chip protection for underbody, sills and wheel arches.
To back up its high build quality, Dacia Duster comes with a three-year or 100,000km warranty in the majority of its European markets.
Duster is a truly international vehicle, both in terms of its markets and its production. It will gradually become available across the world, following the example of Logan and Sandero.
Dacia Duster to be released in the brand's main markets from the spring of 2010
Dacia Duster will be launched in the spring of 2010 in Europe, Turkey and the Maghreb region (Algeria, Morocco).
It will round off the Dacia model line-up, which is expanding in the majority of these markets. In addition to the three vehicles aimed at the private sector (Logan, Logan MCV and Sandero), Dacia has staked its claim, too, in the LCV sector with Logan van and Logan pick-up.
From June 2010, Duster will also be available in the Ukraine, the Middle East (Israel, Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon) and in some African countries badged as a Renault.
The Pitesti factory, which is the principal production facility for Entry-range models, will supply all these markets with both Dacia- and Renault- badged versions. The Romanian plant has an annual production capacity of 350,000 vehicles and will continue to produce the brand's other models.

Duster will expand into other parts of the world in 2011. It will be distributed in the Gulf States, supplied from Pitesti, and will also be built alongside Logan, Sandero and Sandero Stepway in Curitiba, Brazil, for distribution in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Chile. At a later date, Duster will go on to be manufactured at the Avtoframos plant
in Moscow, Russia.

Reagan tops New Braunfels Canyon in Game 1
Recommended Video:
NEW BRAUNFELS — The first time Reagan put runners in scoring position with no outs, it didn't do much with the opportunity against New Braunfels Canyon on Thursday night.
The second time it happened, the Rattlers made sure they went home with the lead in the first-round playoff series.
Back-to-back extra-base hits broke a low-scoring game open in the top of the seventh inning and helped Reagan pick up a 6-0 victory in the Region IV-6A playoffs. The state's seventh-ranked team will have a chance to close out Canyon tonight at 7:30 at North East ISD Stadium.

A Massachusetts school district has apologized to parents after a group of schoolchildren participated in midday Muslim prayers during a field trip to a Boston-area mosque.
The incident occurred in May when a social studies class from Wellesley Middle School toured the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, one of the largest mosques in the Northeast.
Parents were told their children would be learning about the architecture of a mosque and they would be allowed to observe a prayer service. But the students wound up being given a lecture on the Prophet Muhammad, and some boys participated in a midday prayer service.
The field trip was videotaped by a parent whose child was on the trip. At one point, the video shows a spokeswoman for the mosque telling students, "You have to believe in Allah, and Allah is the one God, the only one worthy of worship, all forgiving, all merciful."
Attorney Rob Meltzer represents the parent, who asked not to be identified. He's launched an investigation into the incident and says he may consider filing a lawsuit or complaint against the school district.
"Personally, I was appalled," Meltzer told FOX News Radio. "We are obviously very concerned about how much control parents were given and the lack of informed consent."
The sixth graders were also reportedly told that jihad is a personal spiritual struggle that has nothing to do with holy war, and girls on the field trip were told that Islam is pro-women.

Nuts & Bolts: RSS
Your RSS buffet might be loaded with information your market will find useful, but before it can feast on your insights and deals, it has to know where to request the feeds. Rok Hrastnik, international Internet director at Studio Moderna, a direct marketing service provider, shared his insights on this challenge at the ACCM conference held this past May. He identified the four hot spots marketers must use to publicize their RSS offerings to increase their reach through this channel:
1. Below your e-mail newsletter subscription box. Snag inquirers directly where they need to sign up to receive your e-mail newsletter, allowing them to receive this information via RSS feed. Hrastnik emphasizes that the sign-up box and the RSS promo copy always should be above the fold.
2. High-traffic areas of your site. This advice might be obvious, but it underscores the need to be obvious in your placement of RSS promos. If people don't see your RSS icons or copy, they can't take advantage of them.
3. Directly next to topics. If you offer topical RSS feeds, promote direct links to these feeds within the topic list. For example, if a beauty products site offers topical feeds on trends and beauty tips that are broken out on its Web site as information pages on skincare, makeup, tools and sun protection, then it can promote RSS feeds directly next to each topic in the sub-navigation list.
4. E-mail communications. Just because people already are receiving content from you via e-mail doesn't mean they wouldn't be interested in switching to an RSS feed option. Every e-newsletter or other type of regular e-mail communication should promote an RSS delivery option.

23 McKenzie Ave.,
April 12, 1940.
Dear Folks, —
Just a line to-night. There isn't much new. I looked for a letter from you to-day but didn't get it so will look again to-morrow. I think I'm going to stay in to-night, unless I change my mind suddenly. The shows in this town are not much good. I may go downtown to-morrow afternoon. Marjorie is supposed to go to choir practice to-night – for Sunday night I mean. She and Ruby are going to see "The Great Victor Herbert" and the Dead End Kids in "Dress Parade", to-morrow afternoon. I've seen them both and they are both grand which makes that a good double feature.
By the way Mrs. Howard told me the other day that Mr. Howard likes your syrup better than what they bought. They get a gallon every year from the same man and he brought it the other day. Are you making much?
Somebody said that spring is just around the corner. I think they're right. It's around the corner alright. I wore my spring coat for a day or two but went back to the winter one to-day.
Last night was certainly awful. I wasn't out but it looked awful. It started to snow before I came home from school and kept it up. There was plenty to-day. I see by the paper it snowed 3 inches here. It is going off again to-day though. I said that it was typical London weather.
I don't suppose you heard the windup of the hockey game last night. You'd be asleep before then. It was a grand game. That is the kind I would like to see. I think Toronto really surpassed themselves last night. I know the Rangers are great and Toronto must have been good to keep it up last night. I thought the climax was good. The fans had been cheering their heads off all night and sometimes Foster Hewitt was shouting his head off too against the roar of the crowd and he was so excited when Toronto nearly scored that he could hardly talk. Then when Patrick scored that goal it was just as if those 14000 people had died instantly. I never heard a clap or a sound of any kind. You had no trouble to hear him then. It was very striking I thought. We didn't stay on to hear their comments afterwards. Little Davey Kerr, the Rangers' goaltender certainly stood up there in goal and held off those Toronto big shots.
I'm going to Manual Training in the morning. I suppose Dad listens to the news every five minutes now. I don't hear quite as much as I would like to. I wouldn't mind hearing it once in the morning and once at night. I have to teach a lesson on New England and one on Gibraltar for Rigney on Wednesday but anyway it's the last one except the whole week. I guess this is all the news for now. Write. Love, Helene.

Lots of lively discussion on yesterday's post. It might make sense to read that post to get up to speed. I tried to respond to some of the comments but it occurred to me that it might more effectively move the discussion along to do a new post. (I find reading the endlessly nested comments can be difficult.) In doing this, it should be clear that I am building on/responding to a lot of points other people made here.
You may recall that the key issue in the case (which will be heard again today) is whether McKenna (the mother of the child) did anything "wrong" when she left CA where Miller (the father of the child) lived in order to attend school in NY. One critical point to note is that she made this move when she was pregnant (not, apparently, for nefarious reasons, but because a semester starts when it starts.) The thing that really ticked me (and many other people) off is that the NY judge seemed to consider a pregnant woman moving as some sort of child relocation issue.
This brings me to two different points. First–on relocation cases generally. There's a substantial body of case law out there about how to deal with instances where there separated parents sharing custody of a child and one parent wants to move out of the area. You could see this case as a variation on that problem. I think to some degree my familiarity with this line of cases has shaped my response to this case.
On the relocation problem generally there are two key points that have to do with gender. Both may have some connection to this problem.
1. Courts are mostly concerned when the parent with primary custody wants to move. If the parent who visits the child wants to move, it's not seen as a legal problem. Consistent with this, I've rarely seen any restrictions on the right of the non-custodian's relocation but you see restrictions on the custodian's freedom to relocate with some regularity. (You can see why this is, I think. But we can explore it if need be.)
It turns out, again for reasons I don't plan to discuss right here, that it is far more common for mothers to have primary custody than for fathers. That means that the asymmetry noted in the preceding paragraph turns out to work in a gendered fashion: Fathers are typically free to relocate and mothers are not. It shouldn't be a perfect match, but I must say that every relocation case I've seen concerns an effort by a father to prevent a mother from relocating.
2. Once upon a time, family law was quite gendered. Men had the obligation to support the family and women had the obligation to keep the house. We've left those days behind–formally at least. There's no overt gender role assignment in modern family law. But I think it's fairly clear that there are some lasting effects of the earlier gender presumptions. You cannot so change social expectations by changing the text of a statute.
At least for some people–including some judges, who are after all people–when a man moves to better support his family he's doing the right thing. Thus, he is viewed favorably or benignly. When a woman does the same thing, it is viewed somewhat differently. More broadly stated, I think that men who really invest in their careers aren't as frequently condemned as parents as are women who do the same thing–because a man's historical role as parent has been to be the breadwinner while a woman's has not.
I think both of these aspects of the general relocation problem are at play in the Miller/McKenna case. I do think that if Miller had moved for some great job opportunity, it would not have aroused the same feeling in a judge that McKenna's move did. To vastly oversimplify–he's supposed seize career opportunities–she's not expected to do so. And I think we (the public?) would have figured that he could still play a role in the child's life–returning to visit as he was able. I disagree with those who would say we would have characterized his action as abandonment. If he had moved for a good reason–like a better job or education–I don't think it would be viewed that way. (I recognize, of course, that this is all speculation, too. That means we cannot really settle this disagreement.)
Second, apart from all this relocation stuff, there's another issue in this case–the question whether relocation principles apply before the child is born. If the child had been born and then McKenna had moved, it would be a standard relocation case. But McKenna moved before the child was born. That distinction matters to me. At the time McKenna moved she is not a legal mother and Miller is not a legal father–and so the whole relocation analysis is (in my view) inapplicable. This may just look like timing, but it's a matter of important principle to me.
I can see that this is in some ways a curious result. If she moves in December–no legal issue–even though we know she's about to give birth to the child. If she moves in March–legal issue. I guess I have two thoughts about that. First, I draw a bright and heavy line between pre-birth and post-birth. I think the game changes at that moment in dramatic ways. But second, the line may look even more important in this context because of the way the relocation cases have evolved. If we handled those cases more equitably, then maybe the timing issue wouldn't look so stark.


text: The Lightning Ridge trail is a 13.5 mile ride between Deadwood Reservoir and Forest Service road NF-611 (Lightning ridge road) in Garden valley. Linda Hays and I rode some of this trail from the west, Garden Valley end. The one lane road to the trail head is in very good shape, and the parking for trailers is limited, so this is not a good chapter ride. But for small groups, of not more then maybe 4 trailers this trail offers one of Idaho's best ridge rides. This is not a ride for people or horses that don't like to climb and are not comfortable riding on a hill side, as this trail has both. It also has some wonderful granite rock formations and great views of Scott Mountain, Onion Valley, Garden Valley and the surrounding mountains. During our ride the wild flowers were doing their best to cover the hillsides. The west end of this trail is dry, not crossing any streams and the section we rode did not have a lot of shade. On our trail scale of 1 to 5 with one being a flat dirt road and 5 being OMG, this is a 3.5

Funding news
Geraldine Kendall Adams, Issue 119/03, 01.03.2019
Buy the book
Acquisition grants are available from the Friends of the National Libraries (FNL) for a wide range of written and printed material, including rare books, manuscripts, records and archives, literary manuscripts and fine bindings. Don't be put off by the name – the organisation funds not just libraries, archives and record offices, but any UK museum, gallery or institution to which the public has reasonable access.
There's no lower or upper limit on funding, although grants above £20,000 are rare. The two main criteria for grants are the proposed acquisition's historical, literary and other qualities, and its significance to the applicant's collection.
The FNL distributed almost £270,000 worth of grants in 2018, with recent acquisitions including a letter from Charles Dickens, which was acquired by the Foundling Museum in London.
Applications can be sent at any time and are considered at trustees' meetings, the next of which will be held in June. Urgent requests can be made if an auction deadline is looming.
Meanwhile, at last month's launch of the Cultural Cities report, which detailed how cultural investment can drive growth in the UK's cities, it was revealed that the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and Arts Council England would offer £110,000 each to cities in England that are early adopters of "cultural compacts" – collectives of key local stakeholders from a broad range of sectors tasked with embedding culture in civic life. Full details will be announced in due course.
