I just LOVE the gearthblog. This post is yet another example of why I think it's a must-have in almost ANY teacher's aggregator.
There, the gearth team reposts an announcement that something BIG is coming to Google Earth very soon. Here's just a little quote from their post:
"Another clue for this announcement was some other speakers for the announcement: Sylvia Earle - Explorer-in-Residence for National Geographic Society; Terry Garcia - EVP for National Geographic Society, and Greg Farrington, Executive Director for California Academy of Sciences."
Stay tuned, science teachers. From the sounds of that clipping this may be HUGE for you folks!

Darrow is a Hell Diver. He is one of the elite on the mining station of Mars who have been sent as an advance team to prepare the Red Planet for human habitation. When he risks his life to boost his team's prospects at winning the Laurel, which translates into better and more abundant rations, he is surprised, but not overly upset when he finds out that the competition is rigged. The powers that control the lives of the miners manipulate and suppress the colony for their own purposes. What finally gets Darrow's attention, though, is the unjust execution of a loved one. A single act of rebellion launches his life into a new trajectory in which he must erase all traces of his former life and hide in plain sight as a rebel against the political and social elite. Physically and mentally enhanced so that he can compete among the sons and daughters of Mars' elite, he fights to secure his place among the top commanders of the Mars forces so that as a mole in the governing body's closed society, he can undermine the planet's governing system. Darrow is thrown into a world of murder, torture, hunger, rape and deception as he and his fellow "students" compete to survive the bloodiest, most maddeningly unfair competition in Young Adult fiction I've read in a long time.
This heavily hyped futuristic story set on Mars combines the best and most gruesome parts of The Hunger Games, while also taking the "school" competition to a whole new level. The violence and raw aggressiveness of the plot, the setting, and the characters themselves, make this dystopian novel appropriate for older teens only.
Violence – VVV
Appropriate for High School age readers.

2012 Dodge Challenger | new car review
The current generation Dodge Challenger is a contemporary American muscle car that incorporates many design cues from the original 1970s version. Launched in 2008 the Challenger has been selling well in its home market but hasn't been able to compete with rivals such as the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang in the Middle East, primarily due to its high price tag and Dodge's corporate woes.
Nevertheless, the Challenger remains a modern classic with many positive attributes including strong performance and immense road presence. Classic muscle car styling cues, like the long flat bonnet and lots of front and rear overhang, give the car its distinctive look even though it is actually based on the Dodge Charger's chassis and shares many parts with its sibling too.
At more than five metres in length the Challenger can seat five in relative comfort with decent amounts of legroom at the front and rear. For a sporty coupe the car has impressive boot space too.
In the Middle East the 2012 Challenger is available in two variants, the sporty SRT8, which features a 470bhp, 6.4-litre Hemi V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and the cheaper V6 version with 305bhp and a five-speed gearbox.
All variants get standard six-way power driver's seat. Being a top end model the Challenger SRT8 comes loaded with bi-xenon headlights, leather sport seats, power driver's seat, keyless entry, starter button, CD/MP3 audio system, climate control, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, 20-inch alloy wheels and Brembo brakes. Safety kit includes front and side airbags, ABS and stability control.
3.6-litre V6
Max power: 305bhp
Max torque: 363Nm
6.4-litre V8
Max power: 470bhp
Max torque: 637Nm

This is something that the actor, James McAvoy, recently chose to comment on ("It's a frightening world to live in, because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts, or culture starts to become representative not of everybody but of one tiny part, and that's not fair to begin with, but it's also damaging for society."), causing a bit of a furore and accusations of reverse snobbery. The reality is though, as the government implements more and more stringent cuts to education and the arts, diversity is going to become a thing of the past. Nobody is suggesting that posh people can't be talented but rather that there should also be room for people who may have had a less privileged start in life.
Politicians like to drone on about the ideal of a classless society but I don't think class has ever been so relevant. During any recession, the chasm between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' invariably becomes more glaringly apparent but, it's never seemed more so as the current government continues to wield its economic axe. The difference between what's happening now and recessions that have gone before is the way in which education has been made the province of the wealthy. To be fair to Cameron and his cronies, they are only finishing what a Labour government started, but linking education to wealth is always going to be a massive step backwards for any society.
The biggest change that I have seen in my life time has been the obliteration of what was a working class to be replaced by a class of people, who are workless, skill-less and hopeless. I grew up in a working class community of proud, aspirational people. The word aspirational has, in recent times, almost become tarnished to mean something tacky and grasping. During my childhood, however, it was the bedrock of a community of people, whose sole aim was to see their children better educated, better empowered and with more life choices than they themselves had had. It was a word which saw immigrants arriving in this country with nothing but the desire to work hard to provide for their family and, within a couple of generations meant that their grandchildren's futures were no longer defined by the steelworks or the mines.
In the community I grew up in, worth was linked to hard work and decency not to material possessions. It was a time when there were enough jobs for everyone and unemployment was seen as a stain on the character. Nobody I knew had big TVs or cars or any of the things that have come to represent status in our society. What they did have though was a pride in industriousness, houses that were clean and maintained by mothers who took satisfaction in the gleam of the windows or whiteness of the step. It's easy to sneer at the way women channelled their energy, and no doubt wasted talent, on an obsession with 'keeping house' but, as more and more people's lives seem to be mired in squalor, it begs the question – was the idea that the state of your house reflected the state of your character so far from the mark?
I'm not glorifying the past and nor am I suggesting that life, particularly for women, wasn't restrictive but, in the working class of yesteryear, there was a sense of order and belonging that is missing from society now. The term working class has become something to be looked down upon. I work in schools where young people see being referred to as working class as an insult. The idea of it representing a class of people who work for a living is no longer valid. In fact, the working classes have disappeared and been replaced by a new 'under class'. A group of people for whom social mobility must seem so far removed from their lives there's no point in even hoping for anything.
The biggest blight on our society has been unemployment and it is this that has eradicated the traditional idea of the working classes. Estates which used to be home to communities of people who took pride in their homes and environment have become sink estates, where nobody would want to venture after dark. Four generations of unemployment have wiped out any desire for anything better than watching daytime TV and playing computer games. It's easy to judge but long term unemployment would snuff out the zest for life in anybody.
In any civilised society it's the job of all of us to imbue young people with the idea that, with hard work, commitment and resilience, they have the potential to realise their dreams. This may still be a universal truth for half of society, the half who were fortunate enough to be born into the world of 'haves' but what of the rest? What's the point in encouraging a child who may want to be a doctor, actor or fashion designer when, even though they may have potential in abundance, they don't have the necessary funds to gain a place in university, drama school or art college?
Okay, there may be loans that will pay for the course but it's not as easy as that. What about the cost of living during the time spent learning their trade? I went to university at a time when education was free and full maintenance grants were available on top of that. Despite this, everyone I knew still had to work weekends and holidays to top up their money and so how is someone supposed to pay the full cost of rent, bills, food and all of the other expenses even a frugal existence demands? The reality is that by taking away free education our government has taken away the only hope of a better life for countless young people within our society.
So back to my original point, an artistic framework that reflects only the privileged will lead to a one dimensional and mediocre cultural life for everyone. If art imitates life then this should be a massive wake up call for all of us. If we deny talent a chance to flourish, it will be to the detriment of society as a whole. Talent does not co-exist with wealth and if we continue to pretend it does then a whole generation of potential will be squandered and can we really afford to lose that?

Munsey Park School Donates 426 Pajama Packets to Help Others
Bedtime stories can often serve as sanctuary to the youngster who may be apprehensive about lying down to sleep on his or her own. During the month of April, students and staff from Munsey Park School in Manhasset provided some sanctuary of their own to others less fortunate by collecting new pajamas which they paired with new books to form pajama packets. The school's collection was held in conjunction with the Pajama Program, a national organization that reaches out to children and families who need help the most.
Often homeless, many of the children and families who benefit from the Pajama Program live in temporary shelters, foster care or simply struggle to provide basic necessities.
"Pajamas and books are luxuries that some families are not able to afford," said Munsey Park Library Media Specialist Kathleen Olwy, who presented the idea of this collection to Munsey Park's Student Council and advisers Patrick Dillon and Melissa Muller. "As educators, promoting literacy comes naturally to us, so the books are a nice addition to the cozy clothing we are providing, especially when access is limited."
Student Council members began spreading the word by making posters and speaking to their classmates.
Munsey Park School held a schoolwide Pajama Day celebration on April 17 in which students and staff spent the school day in their pajamas, staff enjoyed a special "Sweet Dreams" breakfast and the school collected the highest number of pajama packets during the monthlong drive. The school collected 426 pairs of new pajamas and bundled them with 426 new books – all donated by Munsey Park families and staff.
Special thanks to Maria Cordell and her third grade class who had 100% participation and collected 43 pajama packets. Additional thanks to teacher Meg Blank and her sixth grade class who collected 51 pajama packets.
Olwy and library teaching assistant Marcia Pollack loaded up their cars with 21 boxes and nine large tote bags of pajama packets. All 426 pajama packets were delivered to Nassau County Department of Social Services, where they were gratefully accepted by Supervisor Grace Castillo.
"Thank you so much for coordinating the pajama drive and a big thank-you to you, your staff, the students and the families of Munsey Park Elementary School for all of the pajamas and books that were collected. Everything that was donated will be given directly to the children we work with in Nassau County. Your efforts were amazing and greatly appreciated. Thank you!" Supervisor Castillo said in an email to Olwy.
Munsey Park also received a beautiful thank-you letter from Theresa McGuinness, Nassau County Director of Preventive Services. In part, the letter read, "To the students specifically, we wish to say that your kindness will change another child's day. Your acts of generosity will help provide a sense of happiness and pride to many children. Please know that every act like this has a lasting impact on other children. It means a great deal to know that someone else cares about you. Please continue your good works."

Psychological magic is one of the most talked about subjects of today and was made famous by a man called Chan Canaster in the early 1950s. In his psychological mind reading cabaret shows, which are all interactive with audience participation, Mike displays a unique talent when performing, making him appear psychic in nature, despite the fact he claims he is not psychic at all. He says he uses an extensive range of psychological and linguistic techniques.
* Imagine forgetting your name as you try so hard to remember what it was, or having a particular card in mind and then becoming very confused as you try to remember the name of the card.
* Can you imagine the look on your guests faces when Mike plucks a mere thought from somebody and tells them what they are thinking.
* Imagine how everyone will react when Mike takes a thought from one person and gives it to another.
Now that you have imagined, why not make it a reality. Wouldn't this be amazing at your event?
Mike Smith's psychological cabaret can last between fifteen to forty five minutes depending on your preference. This type of show is perfect for corporate events, after dinner and private parties.
To find out more about Mikes' Psychological cabaret or close up shows, contact him for more details.

Today is my husband's birthday!! We celebrated over the weekend with a red and gold themed family party. He is a soccer fanatic and loves Manchester United so I went with the team colors. I felt that having soccer ball themed decor might make it feel a little too childish so I stuck with the color theme and incorporated the food and Gatorade cake to match. This was really, really simple to throw together and made a big impact on his day!
Party Details
The cheesecake and cupcakes were from Publix. I bought a frozen Cheesecake Factory plain cheesecake and removed the papers in between the pre-cut slices. Decorated with some fresh strawberries and attempted to cover-up the slices in front by attaching the tops of strawberries with toothpicks.
The balloon letters are from Hobby Lobby. They had a HUGE selection of letters and numbers to choose from. The red tassel banner ,white & gold decorations, and dessert plates are from Target. (from one of my many trips to Target of course) The cake stand I purchased from Target's Dollar Spot area last year. They usually always have a different color there though.
He received other gifts as well, but I wanted to display something too. Because he plays sports alot and drinks Gatorade more than anything I came up with this Gatorade cake that you most likely have seen done with beer cans. Using a cake board on the bottom I created the first layer and secured with a tiny bit of hot glue. Same goes for each layer above. The hot glue keeps it from sliding around and detaches easily when it comes time to disassemble. I wrapped a couple strands of gold curling ribbon around each layer to dress it up. Super simple.
Displayed in the gift basket was a sports themed gift option. Flip flops (perfect for the beach this summer too), Nike basketball shorts and top, flavored sunflower seeds, and a Dad Fuel tumbler (Save 15% with code 'littles' at checkout.).

At the weekend I made a visit to the second of the "Magnificent Seven" commercial cemeteries in London, West Norwood Cemetery. Once again I was lucky with the weather: it was a dry and sunny day, though a cold wind made me shiver on occasion.
Getting There
West Norwood Cemetery is, as the name suggests, in West Norwood, south London. The address is Norwood Road, London SE27 9JU and the closest railway station is West Norwood, which can be reached from Victoria or London Bridge stations.
Initially known as The South Metropolitan Cemetery, the cemetery was founded by its own Act of Parliament in 1836 and the first burial took place a year later. The South Metropolitan Cemetery Company purchased land from the estate of the late Lord Thurlow to create the cemetery, which was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester.
In contrast to Kensal Green, which was built in the classical style, the South Metropolitan Cemetery was the first to be designed throughout in the Gothic style. The landscaping and some monuments, including the catacombs and the entrance gateway, were designed by architect Sir William Tite (1798-1873), who was eventually buried here himself. The cemetery later became known as the "Millionaires' Cemetery" owing to the number of eminent Victorians buried here, including around 300 people with entries in the Dictionary of National Biography.
Sadly, the 40-acre cemetery suffered bomb damage during World War II and Lambeth Council, following a compulsory purchase order in 1965, proceeded to clear thousands of monuments. Luckily, the Friends group, the Archdeacon of Lambeth and others joined to prevent this. Many monuments are listed Grade II by English Heritage. The original consecrated chapel was also damaged by a bomb during the war and was later pulled down; the Dissenters' chapel remains and has been converted into a crematorium.
Our guide told us a little about the history of the cemetery, and took us on a fascinating walk around it, pointing out some of the more notable features. One memorial that stood out is that of James Gilbart, founder of the London and Westminster Bank (now known as NatWest).
We also saw the grave of Sir Hiram Maxim, of Maxim Gun fame – the American inventor, who moved to England aged 41, holds the dubious honour of being the inventor of the first portable, fully automatic machine gun.
The grave of Joe Hunte, the anti-racism campaigner, rests here.
I particularly liked this gravestone with its striking image of an old-fashioned diving helmet. Augustus Siebe was an inventor and engineer whose contributions to diving technology earned him fame. His stone was replaced without the cemetery's permission a few decades ago, but I don't feel I can object as I really like this interesting design.
The most famous person to be buried in West Norwood is probably Isabella Beeton, of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management fame. She died at 28 after contracting puerperal fever following the birth of her fourth child. I had always thought she was older, but then she did have 20 younger siblings, so she had plenty of time to gain ample experience in cooking and household management.
The Reverend Charles Spurgeon was a Baptist preacher and he is still well-known and admired by Baptists around the world. Our guide told us about the time a coachload of American tourists came to the cemetery, surrounded Spurgeon's tomb to take pictures and then left, without looking at anything else in the cemetery.
Mrs Beeton might be better-known, but for me the most exciting person to be buried in West Norwood is Charles Pearson. He was a solicitor and a reforming campaigner who campaigned for an underground railway system and was instrumental in promoting and establishing the Metropolitan Railway, the forerunner to the London Underground. I'm a great admirer of Pearson, whose encouragement of the railway system stemmed from a sense of social justice and a belief that it would improve the lives of the working poor.
Two lovely large red brick mausoleums stand out: the first belongs to Sir Henry Tate, the sugar magnate who also founded the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain).
The second is the burial place of Sir Henry Doulton, the pottery manufacturer who was instrumental in developing his family firm into the famous Royal Doulton brand.
The cemetery is interesting because of the people buried here, but also because of the examples of cemetery architecture in evidence. This draped urn was typical of the period.
Lucy Gallup's grave is unusual because of the presence of a photograph of the deceased.
The English antiquary John Britton designed his monument to be as permanent as Stonehenge. In fact, it looks just like a Stonehenge stone.
Seaman John Wimble's beautiful and intricate tomb, with its detailed carvings of ships, lent its name to Ship Path.
The tomb of Alexander Berens, designed by E.M. Barry, is one of the most impressive in West Norwood and sits in a prime spot on the top of the hill.
Here is an example of a heart plaque sometimes used in the sentimental Victorian period.
Greek Necropolis
Our final stop on the tour was the Greek Necropolis, complete with an imposing Chapel of St Stephen (architect unknown but sometimes thought to have been John Oldrid Scott). This section of the cemetery was acquired by the Greek community in London in 1842, and is filled with Greek Orthodox mausoleums and monuments commemorating members of the Anglo-Hellenic community. The Necropolis is overseen by the trustees of the Cathedral of Saint Sophia.
The end point of our tour was the elaborate mausoleum of Edmund Distin Maddick, which had been opened up to form a little shop.
It's not as famous as Kensal Green or Highgate, and it's a little out of the way, but West Norwood Cemetery is well worth a visit. There are some interesting monuments to see, and the cemetery's location on a hill is an attractive one: and there are a couple of famous graves.
Would I go back?
Yes – it's a decent-sized site with plenty to see, and I would like to be able to take a leisurely walk around it. Visiting the cemetery is free, so well worth it. In addition, if you join the Friends group for £5 per year you get a chance to take a tour of the catacombs – which is something I definitely intend to do at some point.
Address: Norwood Road, London SE27 9JU
Founded: 1836

Still in operation?: Cremation plots are still available but the cemetery is closed to new burials, at least for now

Despite difficult circumstances, Fnac Darty has finished 2018 with a small turnover growth and a 20 % profit increase. Sales improved in the Benelux as well, even after seven BCC stores were closed in the Netherlands.
'Gilets jaunes' cost 45 million euros
Fnac Darty has finished 2018 with a turnover of 7.475 billion euros, 0.4 % more than the previous year. Still, CEO Enrique Martinez is quite satisfied, considering "the exceptional events that had a profound impact on the consumption environment." France (where the group still makes the lion's share of its turnover) proved challenging: due to the actions of the 'yellow vests', who have been demonstrating every weekend since November, quite a few stores had to close on Saturdays. As this occurred in November and December, traditionally very important months for the group, that "has cost us 45 million euros," CFO Jean-Brieuc Le Tinier explains to LSA.
Nevertheless, the management is quite happy with the profit figures: operational profits increased by 10 % to 296 million euros, while net profits went up 20 % to 150 million euros. "We have managed to complete the commercial and operational integration [of culture chain Fnac and electro chain Darty, ed.] a year ahead of schedule," Le Tinier stated with satisfaction.
Benelux up 2.1 %
Fnac Darty runs both Fnac and Vanden Borre in Belgium, and BCC in the Netherlands, generating a Benelux turnover of 936 million euros (+ 2.1 %) despite the closure of seven BCC stores. A solid achievement, thanks to online sales and the strategic alliance with Dutch online department store Wehkamp. Meanwhile, Portuguese and Spanish stores saw a turnover increase of 1.4%, reaching 703 million euros. The group opened three new outlets in those markets, while the webshop generated double-digit growth.
Fnac Darty opened 52 new stores in the past year, bringing the total to 780 outlets, including 260 franchised ones. In the Benelux, the group has 147 stores.

Detox Salad Boat
Richard Collins, MD, The Cooking Cardiologist®
Susan Buckley, RD
South Denver Cardiology Associates
Cardiologist says, "Eat clean, buy fresh, and go organic". It is not difficult to make a refreshing recipe loaded with detoxing ingredients, just avoid packaged, premade or preserved ingredients. This recipe is perfect for spring-cleaning! The rhubarb pink dressing combines well with the earthy flavors of cabbage and cauliflower. Remember, all produce needs to be organic. Enjoy. Spring to life!
For the salad:
1-cup cooked black rice, Forbidden rice is the best. Cook according to directions and let cool
1-cup Daikon radish, julienne
1 cup purple cabbage, shredded fine
1-cup raw purple cauliflower if available. If not, use white, grated to resemble couscous
½ medium red onion, sliced thin
1 large carrot, julienne
½ pint cherry tomatoes
½ cup fresh mango, diced
1/3 cup, almond slices
2 red bell peppers, sliced to make twelve rings with seeds and center removed
2 bundles romaine lettuce
For the dressing:
¼ cup honey
1/3 cup green tea, brewed
4 stalks fresh rhubarb, sliced ½ inch segments
1 shallot chopped
1/3-cup apple cider vinegar
1 t mustard powder
2T olive oil
In a large bowl, combine the first eight salad ingredients. To make the dressing, combine the honey and brewed green tea in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add the rhubarb and shallot. Bring back to a boil for 4 minutes, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Add the apple cider vinegar. Continue cooking until the rhubarb becomes sauce and the liquid is reduced by one-half, approximately 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a high-speed blender. Add the mustard powder and olive oil. Blend on high until smooth. Add the dressing to the salad mixture and toss well to combine.
Prepare the romaine lettuce leaves, using 4 leaves for each salad. With stems trimmed, over-lay the leaves with the stem sides inside. Loosely wrap the leaf to form a large roll. Slide a red pepper ring over the lettuce leaves and repeat on the other end. This will hold the lettuce wrap together. Slightly open the lettuce leaves to create a salad boat. Divide the salad into each romaine boat. Garnish with the almonds.
Serves 6. Serving size: Approximately 1 cup of salad with 2 T of dressing.

Heeellloooo TAY! Our gaming drought is finally over now, or about to be. January was for playing all those games you may have gotten during the holidays. February's all for thinking about your backlogs but here's another idea too: Let's Add a Little Spicy Challenge By Doing More!
Introducing: Theme Week
We wouldn't be the first to do something like this. This isn't entirely original. But what it could be is fun. It all depends on what you want to do.
I know that many of you are hard-pressed for time, or not feeling very motivated. It happens. It sure does to me. But I'm hoping we can do something together to encourage our fine fellow TAY'ers that hitting the publish button isn't so daunting. Or that getting to know your fellow TAY'ers a little bit more shouldn't be a scary situation. Or simply to let you all know and each other that all of your contributions matter.
The rules of Theme Week are simple: Write, Art, Discuss, Encourage.
I'll give you a theme which you can all mull over this week and next, and then in the final week of February, you post something related to the theme to TAY.
What can that something be? Here's an idea, and some things to get you started:
- It doesn't have to be a 3,000 word essay. It can be a paragraph or two. It can be a topic discussion — some of the easiest ways to engage the community is to put forth a simple question. It can be an invitation to watch you stream a game. It can be a song you want to share. It can be a silly or amazing drawing. A poem. A piece of tasteful satire. A fictional story. A hilarious screenshot with a few words to back it up.
- You don't have to have TAY authorship to participate. Maybe you're testing the waters and don't know how to start. This is a great time to try! So how do you get seen? Tag your article with "TAY Classic" and someone will share it over.
- No Pressure. The point of Theme Week is to get our creative juices flowing and to have fun. You don't have to participate, TAY. If someone does participate though, the only thing I'd suggest is that we give that person some feedback even in the simplest of ways. A "great article" comment goes a long way, and if you can do more to have a thoughtful discussion with the author, awesome. It's the sort of thing we should be doing as is, theme week or not. I know we don't always have the time to comment but trying is something we can all do.
Now that that's out of the way, what's the theme then?
For this round it's going to be:
That's broad and unruly as is (And after all of that, kind of terrible a theme, Z. Shush you). It can be about your favourite couple in video games, your favourite game at the moment or your favourite game from gaming past, your favourite song from a game, best experiences. It can be about brotherly or sisterly love. Friendships. How much you adore the pairing you went with in next week's Fire Emblem: Fates. You know you will. Anything you can think of!
Alright, that's it from me. Any questions, let me know. Just trying a thing here, and we'll see what comes of it.
Although the *deadline* for theme week will be the last week in February, you can even start posting now if you wanted to (you know, in case you had some Valentine's related posts in mind). Of course, all of your articles as part of Theme Week or your regular writing will be welcome and read.
Happy Theme Week, TAY!

The South Carolina Gubernatorial Appointments Project (SC GAP)
A new project to increase the number of women on state boards and commissions is to be announced this week in partnership with Governor Henry McMaster, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, and the South Carolina Women's Leadership Network.
The Gubernatorial Appointments Project (SC GAP), which aims to increase the number of women serving on boards and commissions throughout South Carolina, will be announced on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 10 a.m. at the State House in Columbia. SC GAP will use its statewide network and partner organizations to reach women across the state with a wide array of expertise. Interested women will be able to search the SC GAP database for all vacancies - categorized by area of focus as well as position requirements, governing statutes, and term expiration dates – and then apply, confidentially, online. Gov. McMaster and GAP's honorary co-chairs, Melinda Davis Lux (Upstate) and Candace Shriver (Midlands/Lowstate) have invited 25 women's groups across the state to join in this effort. "Women make up 51.5 percent of the population but continue to be woefully underrepresented in state government," said Barbara Rackes, a Columbia businesswoman and a founder of SC WIL. "There are currently 975 gubernatorial-appointed board and commission positions with either expired terms or vacancies. With Gov. McMaster's support, we will recruit hundreds of qualified women to apply for these positions. These are women who will bring a different perspective and a wealth of experience to the table."
Date & Time

Ed Richards is a speedy halfback from the Oakleigh Chargers who was drafted by the Western Bulldogs with pick 16 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft. Richards, who is closely related to the great Collingwood legends in Ron and Lou Richards, posses great natural attributes as an athlete and is certainly a player of the future. His speed allows him to break lines, open congested situations as well as excel on the outside of play. Richard's composure under pressure is far beyond his years. Richards ran a 2.89-second 20m sprint in AFL Combine fitness testing – this paired with his kicking efficiency of 75% was the best out of any of the TAC Cup players invited to the National Combine.
Richards debuted in Round 2 of the 2018 season against the West Coast Eagles where he collected an impressive 11 disposals. The following week, Richards increased this number to 17, showcasing his speed and skills at an elite level in only his second game. His defensive game was also highly impressive as he committed 5 tackles for the game. Richards has assimilated very well into the AFL, he appears to be performing in an environment where he can influence and take the game on.

This was from Citizen's Blog on Star (http://blog.thestar.com.my/permalink.asp?id=18251) today:
My Fellow Malaysians
It saddens me to see the political and economical situation in Malaysia which has been preserved so well in the past, degenerate to our present state. The bigger disappointment is to see my fellow Malaysians being blind to the obvious, and then blame the government of the day and your good self for the Rakyat's predicament.
The political and economic situation in Malaysia which has been 'preserved so well' in Malaysia has taken us to where we are today. Those who cannot and will no longer tolerate being treated as 'pendatang' want to reclaim their rightful position as legitimate citizens of Malaysia. Those who have been prevented from exercising their democratic right to vote in a clean and fair election want to do so. Those who deserve to go to university want to have a fair chance of actually getting in. I could go on and on but you get the drift. I hope…
Before we examine the major issues that Malaysians are facing today, allow me to emphasise that what is written here are my personal views and my personal analysis. This is written without malice towards any one person or groups, but in the hope that others who read this and share my views will take whatever small step to rectify the predicament that we as the Rakyat of Malaysia are facing.
Er… I also Rakyat mah…
1. The calling for the change of guard within UMNO. Is there really a necessity for our beloved Prime Minister to have an early transition of power to his deputy? Let us ask ourselves, what has Pak Lah done wrong that it is so urgent for him to relinquish power? Some says that Pak Lah is slow in tackling corruption, but can corruption be wiped out overnight? In order for any Prime Minister to achieve his goals he needs the support of all Malaysians to do this. In all honesty, how many of us will stop offering a bribe to avoid a traffic summons or to be able to get a contract? Now, if we don't stop this practice from the ground, please tell me, why we are blaming Pak Lah for lack of willpower to tackle this problem. As is, from my personal observations, I strongly believe that corruption has improved, though, lots more have to be done. But, all this needs time. So, please do give our beloved Prime Minister the time to do so.
What has Pak Lah done wrong that it is so urgent for him to relinquish power??? Corruption cannot be wiped out overnight, you are correct. But Pak Lah could have done so, so, so much more. But he didn't. I don't think Pak lah is a bad man. The problem was he wasn't strong enough and unfortunately for us, he didn't have enough reform-minded and progressive supporters, he was too weak to stand up to the bigots and racists within BN, and did not dare risk losing his support within UMNO, and possibly his position of 'power'.
Those calling for his early retirement from within and outside of UMNO, the Barisan and the Opposition have ulterior motives, probably for personal gain. I remembered some time ago, when Dato Seri Muhiyiddin lost in the UMNO general Elections, he had said that Pak Lah had something special for him, and duly appointed him as the Agricultural Minister, a very significant portfolio under Pak Lah's vision, but today, he steps out to call for the early retirement of our Prime Minister. Where is the loyalty and comradeship among friends and peers? What is his motive? I cannot accept the fact that he is doing it solely for the good of the Rakyat, unless he knows something that the Prime Minister doesn't and that he is a financial and political genius that has devised a plan to pull the whole country back together. If he does, then this plan should be shared with his colleagues and his boss, the Prime Minister. Therefore, on the surface, I can't but help myself to think that he is waiting to be our Deputy Prime Minister's running mate when the time comes.
Why is Tun Dr. Mahathir so strongly criticising his chosen successor to the extent that it looks like a personal vendetta? Wouldn't it be better, if he would to take on the role as an advisor like Dr. Lim Kuan Yew of Singapore and be more effective advising and suggesting from inside UMNO and the Barisan. Up till today, all those who criticises Pak Lah, none has brought out a fact based accusation, but only rhetoric playing on the present situation.
My belief of the above is but a simpleton's opinion. Pak Lah has brought us to a new era. An era of more freedom, but we, the Rakyat have not learned that with this freedom comes responsibility. It is so easy that we teach our children this when we give them more freedom to explore, but when it comes to ourselves, we do not practice what we preach.
An era of more freedom? I honestly did not think we would see a period of time again where there would be so many under ISA detention. Freedom for Utusan maybe, but not for the other mainstream media.
2. Most everyone that I come in contact with, and also from the newspapers, there is a common dislike towards Khairy Jamaluddin, the MP for Rembau and the son in law of the Prime Minister. Again, there are all kinds of accusations hurled aginst and about him, but if these are true, lodge a police report or an ACA report and get an investigation going. My outlook of Khairy (I don't know him myself or have any contact with him), judging from what I read and see, I find that he is possibly a highly intelligent and successful person. Why can't we have leaders like this? Are there a jealousy and a conspiracy to stifle such personalities or is it that Malaysians only want the less capable to lead the country. If he proves himself, I'll give him my vote. All this coffee shop talk of how he takes all the lucrative contracts and leave none for others, I believe are nonsense. If there is truth to it, do you think the old guards in the ruling party is going to sit back and allow that to happen. The biggest suggested conspiracy of Khairy as the puppet master and our beloved Prime Minister the puppet makes me kneel over and laugh out so loud. So, if he is so powerful, I guess the next Prime Minister would be the next puppet too. Maybe, his present boss Dato Seri Hishammuddin is also another of his puppet. So, anybody else?
Would KJ be as 'highly succesful' if he wasn't the PM's Son-In-Law? And, have YOU ever tried lodging reports against powerful people in this country? If our ACA and the police did their job professionally and competently, do you think Malaysia would be in this situation today? Things would be very very different indeed, my dear Shehzad Lin.
3. The rising cost of living that is hurting the middle income and lower income groups in Malaysia, is it a situation brought on by Pak Lah? Come on; let us be fair, the rise in petrol did not actually cost us more than the greedy entrepreneurs out there who took advantage of the situation. Now that the price of petrol have rebated, have the cost of food come down. NO, why? Greed, my fellow Malaysians. I can give you numerous examples, but suffice to say, why our favourite nasi lemak costs RM1.20 in Melaka, but for the same costs RM1.80 in Cukai, Kemaman, Terengganu (a small town bordering Pahang and Terengganu). Why must a cup of iced coffee costs RM1.80 at the Nasi Kandar stall but at any other coffee shop is at RM1.40. Greed again, my fellow Malaysians.
So, how should we overcome this? The Government can't be locking up or summoning every Nasi Kandar stall or Express Bus company's owner or the greedy nasi lemak seller. Simple, the first is that Malaysians must exercise their power as consumers and avoid going to the shopkeepers or restaurants or outlets that overcharge and are opportunists. Do that for a couple of months and when they start losing their business, you will see the prices coming back down.
Er… we should penalise the coffeeshop owners who are struggling like the rest of us? If they were being truly unreasonable (like how the toll concessionaires and IPP companies conspire with the government to rip the Rakyat off), then I might even agree with that. But hey, the coffeeshop owners are not actually using my money to 'con' me… I think it's a personal choice question for you, if you want to boycott an outlet, fine, but why not also pick on more obvious examples of unfair practices and 'greedy businessmen' like elected representatives who happily dish out contracts to their families to build public toilets or ugly structures supposed toly beautify our cities at hugely inflated prices USING THE RAKYAT'S MONEY. Why don't you have a go at them?
The second remedy is to break up these so called associations, examples being the Taxis Associations, the Bus Associations, the Hawker's Associations and etc. etc. These associations are nothing more than a cartel and they should not be allowed to influence prices but rather allow the market forces to determine what a fair price is. The Government can and do promote competition, like in the case of importing foreign chicken to stabilise the price. Only then, productivity will increase and along with it, a drop in price.
Er, going by your line of reasoning, why should the utilities companies be the only ones allowed by the govt to provide us services and dictate the prices, provide CRAP services and expect us to put up with it???
4. On the issue of the Pakatan Rakyat's claims of taking government from the crossovers of MP's from the Barisan, it's shameful and deceitful to even think of such a move. I for one will not gamble my children's future in the hands of Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim, especially in these trying times. He and the Pakatan Rakyat have not revealed their economic policies in detail on how they intend to chart Malaysia through these stormy waters. Giving away free water is only dangling a carrot in front of the horse. We have lived too long with subsidies and that has made us into whiners. It's not an economic policy of any sorts. Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim is an exceptional orator, but I don't see him or those in the Pakatan Rakyat as sound economical adversaries. Aside from this, why must Dato Seri Anwar go to Washington and give an exclusive interview with Riz Khan in which he has nothing good to say about his own country. Will Malaysia only be a good country if it's run by the Pakatan Rakyat? In fact, I found that interview repulsive. If we have dirty linen, is it necessary to wash them in public?
"If we have dirty linen, is it necessary to wash them in public?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry… I'm in tears and tearing my hair out. Misappropriating the Rakyat's money and throwing good money after bad DOES NOT fall into the category of dirty linen, in my books. Do you honestly think that the deaths of young Indian boys in our lock-ups is a huge coincidence and a natural phenomemon? Confiscated drugs that are kept in police headquarters keep going missing, that's not something personal – these point to an incompetent and inept government, these are national disasters, not Chua Soi Lek-shagging-someone-who-isn't-his-wife. Lingam brokering the judges' appointments is not dirty linen – it's a national disaster.
5. On the issue of racial harmony, I wish earnestly that we will one day be referred to as Malaysians and not Malaysian Chinese, Malaysian Indians or Malaysian Malays. I have resigned myself to the fact that this won't happen in my lifetime, but I fervently hope that my descendants down the line will one day be able to proudly and loudly declare that. Even in the most developed countries that are multi racial, racism is still existent. What is important is that the government rejects this, and let us remind ourselves that Allah created us equal. He is perfect and will never create any of his beloved creations one less than the other. Exposure and history is what makes us what we are today. If we are cheated once, we are smarter the next time. If we are expose and taught how to drive a vehicle, we ahll definitely drive one.
Therefore, I plead with all my fellow Malaysians to think things thorough and not to react with knee jerk reactions. The time has come for us to be mature and responsible, as we owe this if not to ourselves, then to our generations to come. Please stop all this bickering and get down to governing, and I call on the Pakatan Rakyat, that if they are sincere in wanting to bring about a change for the better of Malaysians, play your role as a watchdog responsibly, and take this opportunity that you have won five states to show your worth that you are truly a government in waiting.
"The time has come for us to be mature and responsible, as we owe this if not to ourselves, then to our generations to come." – we've tolerated 50 years of BS, and lost close to RM380 BILLION to corruption, says Morgan Stanley. So hell yeah! I think it's time we set things right.
I know that my words will offend many of my fellow Malaysians and I apologise sincerely to them, but more importantly, I plead for them to awaken and do the right thing and forget about change, just for the sake of change.
We need REAL CHANGE, whether it's initiated by BN or PR. Do you HONESTLY think that PR (who had 49% support from Malaysian voters overall, and had 51% to BN's 49% in the Peninsula) would gamble with the Rakyat's lives, just for the sake of change? You think we all got nothing better to do izzit? Do the right thing??? What is the right thing? BN's idea of the right thing to do may be to keep bluffing the people and deny them their democratic and economic rights, surely that's not what you think we should maintain… er, do you?
Humbly, from a loyal Malaysian who loves his country.
I love Malaysia as much as you, possibly even more, if you can believe that.
Mohd Shehzad Lin
These are just my opinions. My answers may not be very intelligent either, which makes me a simpleton just like you dear. But I'm not blind, and I don't like being treated like an idiot by BN. Is that too much to ask?

Stocks claw back...Trump highlighting natural gas exports...Do soda taxes affect health?
NEW YORK (AP) _ Stocks are broadly higher in afternoon trading on Wall Street as the market gains back about half of the ground it lost in a rout a day earlier. Technology companies, which took a beating on Monday, led the market higher along with banks.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The escalating trade war between the U.S. and China is causing anxiety among rural farmers and bankers. Upper Midwest soybean farmer Jamie Beyer says these are days of "a little bit of panic." Minnesota agriculture lender Kent Thiesse (TEE'-see) says most farmers were able to get financing for spring planting, but more federal aid might be needed to head off "serious losses" this fall.
WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Donald Trump is highlighting his administration's efforts to ramp up liquefied natural gas exports during a plant visit in southwest Louisiana today. The $10 billion export terminal plant will liquefy natural gas for storage and shipping. Trump cites an increase in liquefied natural gas exports as boosting jobs and cementing the U.S.'s role as an energy provider for international markets.
UNDATED (AP) _ Expedia and major hotel companies were already facing two federal lawsuits alleging that they conspired to stifle competition. Now they're also being investigated by Utah's attorney general. Utah-based TravelPass Group, a tech company that matches customers to available hotel rooms, claims the hotels and Expedia worked together to limit the results of Google searches, which hurt competition and kept prices high.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) _ A new study bolsters evidence that soda taxes can reduce sales, but whether they influence health remains an open question. The research published Tuesday found that a Philadelphia tax imposed in 2017 led to higher prices and a 38 percent decline in soda sales that year. That's taking into account an increase in sales in neighboring cities. The study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

H. J. LUTCHER STARK CENTER FOR PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS. The H. J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports is a 27,500-square-foot library and museum dedicated to the preservation of and education about the history and benefits of exercise and sports. The Stark Center contains a wide variety of rare material in such fields as the history of physical fitness, competitive lifting, bodybuilding, training for athletes, and complementary medicine. The center was made possible by $5.5 million given by the Nelda C. and H. J. Lutcher Stark Foundation and $2 million from fitness legends Joe and Betty Weider. Other significant donors included Roy and Nell McLean, Terry and Jan Todd, Rogue Fitness, Joe and Teresa Long, Thomas and Laurie Hunt, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the Hoffman Family Foundation of Dallas.
Located in the north end zone of the Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas at Austin, the facility opened in September 2009. The Stark Center's archives include more than 30,000 books, journals, and magazines about physical culture and sports, as well as the personal papers, photographs, and artifacts of important historical figures in both areas. These materials comprise the largest such collection in the world. The Stark Center's three galleries, including the Joe and Betty Weider Museum of Physical Culture which opened in July 2011, display both permanent and rotating exhibits, and the center's website features additional digital interactive resources. The Stark Center is also the repository of the archives of the sports information division of the Intercollegiate Athletics department. Recent exhibits include The Nazi Olympics: Berlin 1936, produced by the United States Holocaust Museum; and 1914: A Perfect Season, celebrating one of the most successful teams in Texas Longhorn football history. Other Stark Center facilities allow for processing rare books and photographs and cataloguing archival material. The center provides staff offices, a conference room, and a reading room where students, faculty, and visitors can access current books and magazines.
The history of the center is closely tied to the history of its founders and directors, Terry and Jan Todd. Terry Todd began collecting physical culture books and magazines in the late 1950s, shortly after beginning his own athletic career as a weight-trained varsity tennis player at UT. As an undergraduate, Terry met Professor Roy McLean, a pioneer in weight training who owned an extensive collection of books and magazines on the subject. Todd eventually left the tennis team to focus on Olympic weightlifting, and he subsequently began the new strength sport of powerlifting; he won the inaugural national event in powerlifting in 1964 and the first Senior National Championships in 1965 and established many national records in the process. During that period he earned his Ph.D. and worked as managing editor of Strength & Health, the largest magazine in the field of weight training. Todd later married Jan Suffolk, who became a formidable powerlifter, and her many national and world records established her as, according to Sports Illustrated and Guinness World Records, the strongest woman in the world. In 1976, after the death of their friend, former circus strongman Ottley Coulter, the Todds inherited his collection of what experts believed to be the largest collection of physical culture materials in the United States. After examining the 385 boxes of books, magazines, photographs, posters, scrapbooks, and clippings, the Todds realized that the collection needed to be preserved not by an individual, but by a major university.
In 1983, when they joined the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at the University of Texas, Terry and Jan Todd sought a permanent location for their vast archive. Professor Emeritus Roy McLean initially created a library endowment, and university administrators agreed to provide the space to house the growing collection. The process took twenty-five years as the Todds embarked on fundraising efforts for the millions of dollars needed to construct and furnish the space. Their primary donor, the Nelda C. and H. J. Lutcher Stark Foundation, had been a major university benefactor and reflected the interests of foundation founder Lutcher Stark, who had an abiding passion for sports and physical culture. Stark, a 1910 graduate of UT, played a major role in the evolution of athletics at the University of Texas. A one-time manager of the football team when he was an undergraduate, Stark also loved physical culture, and that love led him to spend three months in Philadelphia under the guidance of weight training pioneer Alan Calvert. Stark later supported the hiring of Theo Bellmont, another early convert to weight training, as athletic director at the University of Texas. Bellmont, in turn, hired Roy McLean, who had started Terry Todd on the road to strength training—thus establishing a unique historical connection—from Stark to McLean to Todd.
As of 2017 the Stark Center was an official research center at the university as well as an official Olympic Studies Center—one of just three in the United States. The museum and archive serves as a popular destination for visitors to the University of Texas campus, who come as tourists and sports fans, as well as for students and scholars from around the country and the world. The Todds have remained active in the world of physical culture outside of their work at the center. Both have provided commentary for television networks and have written numerous articles for popular and academic publications. In 1990 they founded Iron Game History: The Journal of Physical Culture to encourage research in the field, and in 2002 they organized and directed the first professional Strongman contest at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio. Jan Todd, the original chairperson of the women's committees for both the United States Powerlifting Federation and the International Powerlifting Federation, held the Roy J. McLean Fellowship in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at UT and directed both graduate and undergraduate degree programs in physical culture and sports studies. The Todds also endowed at UT Press the Terry and Jan Todd Series on Physical Culture and Sports, which has published Drug Games: The International Olympic Committee and the Politics of Doping, 1960–2008 (2011) by Thomas M. Hunt; and Mr. America: The Tragic History of a Bodybuilding Icon (2015) by John D. Fair.

eBook Title for Download :Croatian Aces of World War 2 (Format : pdf , Language : English)
Plot :
Initially flying Italian-supplied Fiat G.50s, the Croat forces suffered heavy losses during 1942 whilst flying alongside JG 52 in the southern sector of the Russian front. Despite this, a significant number of kills fell to future aces such as Cvitan Galic and Mato Dubovak during this time, and when the units re-equipped with Bf 109G-10s in 1943, battle-seasoned Croat pilots started to rack up impressive scores. This book reveals how, by 1944, Croat air groups were defending Yugoslavia from British and American air raids, and in the final months of the war a handful of surviving pilots fought on until final defeat in May 1945.

Latest update July 3rd, 2020 12:59 AM
More than three months after being jailed three years for possession of eight grams of marijuana, sparking a wave of criticisms, the Full Court yesterday upheld an appeal for Carl Mangal, a farmer, who was out on bail.
The court ruled that the lower court erred in not asking the defendant whether he agreed with the prosecution's version of the events.
Attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes had taken the case pro bono after being approached by activist Mark Benschop.
Yesterday, the lawyer insisted that it was all a team effort.
Meanwhile, Benschop noted that the case is an important victory. He said that now the ruling has been made and there is a commitment by the administration to look at non-custodial sentences for small quantities of marijuana, it is the hope that consideration will be paid to the scores of inmates who are behind bars.
"…and I am hoping that they can do this retroactively."
The sentencing of Mangal had brought the spotlight sharply back on a contentious issue, with deep division as to whether marijuana should be legalized and to what extent.
Hughes, in filing the appeal in May, said that there has been considerable, justified alarm at the imprisonment of this and other citizens for a lengthy period of time for user quantities of cannabis.
He had noted that it was only two years ago when another citizen was imprisoned for possession of user quantities and smoking utensils.
A draft Bill was presented by Michael Carrington, a Member of Parliament for the Alliance For Change, for consideration in the
National Assembly.
According to Hughes, in an effort to seek national consensus and across-the-floor support for the Bill, the Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, was approached to support the draft.
"He agreed to permit a conscience vote on the Bill, as he expressed the view that sentencing was harsh. The Leader of the Opposition publicly articulated this position."
Hughes had pointed to a statement of the AFC, the smaller of two factions that make up the governing coalition, which called for no jail for small ganja possession cases.
"Now that the AFC have said that their party supports the amendment to the Act, perhaps the AFC along with those members of the Opposition who are sufficiently aggrieved by this odious piece of legislation, should vote to amend the Act, instead of waiting on further travesties of justice to occur," Hughes had urged.
AFC had said in a statement that it is not objecting to the removal of custodial sentences for possession of small quantities of
"The Alliance For Change expresses its outrage and deep concern following the sentencing, to three years' incarceration, of 27-year-old father and poultry farmer, Carl Mangal, for the possession of eight grams of marijuana."
The AFC said it recognizes that the magistrates are constrained by the law with regard to the issue of custodial sentencing for possession of small quantities of marijuana.
"The party renews its call to all legislators to move with alacrity in upgrading the laws of Guyana to ensure that custodial sentences for small quantities of marijuana are removed from the books in their entirety."
AFC said that custodial sentences serve, in large measure, to criminalize young people, particularly young men who have been caught with small quantities of marijuana – an offence which is a mere error in judgment and not representative of criminal behaviour.
AFC reminded that MP Carrington, since 2015, brought a Bill to the National Assembly for debate, but it has since been languishing on the Order Paper, being deferred time and time again.
Mangal had appeared before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman, accused of having 8.4 grams of marijuana in his possession.
Mangal of Lot 2 Princes Street, Lodge, Georgetown, admitted to the charge, which alleged that on May 18, he had the illicit substance in his possession.
In the courtroom, the Magistrate told upset family members of Mangal that her hands were tied.
"I gave him the least sentence which is three years. He could have been sentenced to between three and five years. If you feel bad about this, the most you can do at this point of time is appeal the sentence, that's the option that is open to you. I can't do anything."
Assessments of the prison situation over time have found that a significant number of inmates were in for drug-related offences, including persons being caught with small amounts.
Following the horrific Camp Street fire, moves have been made to reduce the prison population by releasing inmates whose sentences are nearing conclusion and reducing time behind bars.
