Transitioning Back to School with Ease!
The transition from summer to the school year can be very stressful for many kids, as well as their parents. During the summer there are few schedules and places to be early in the morning. Also, many children have later bedtimes, which mean they like to sleep in later. Summertime is free time for many children. With school right around the corner, here are a few tips to help get into a routine and make the school year run smoothly.
- Have a bedtime for your children. You should start this at least one week before school begins, to help give your child time to adjust. Depending on how old they are it can range anywhere from 7:30-10. The average child, between 7-12 years old, needs about 10-11 hours of sleep. Teenagers need about 9. There will be less fighting in the morning if your child is well rested.
- The night before make sure they have their backpack organized and ready for the next day. If it is library day they need their library books, if it is gym day they may need their gym clothes.
- Have your child pick out the clothes they are going to wear the night before. This will save so much time in the mornings. You can even get dividers that hang in the closet and have your child pick out their clothes for the week on Sunday night. This will free up your evenings during the week.
- If your child moves slow in the mornings, you can set timers and have time limits on how long they spend in the bathroom, or how long they have to eat breakfast. They need to be done each step of their morning by a certain time.
- Don't let your child watch TV or play video games in the morning until they are completely ready. You will be surprised at how much faster they will move if there is a reward at the end. If they don't get ready in time then they don't get the reward.
A little organization on your part will help make the school year a success!

Continuity mistake: When the landlady shows Judy to her "luxury apartment" note the position of the vertical deadbolt lock affixed to the front door and jamb, but the next morning when Judy leaves for the ZPD, as she unlocks the door the deadbolt lock has moved higher up on the door and jamb (note wallpaper). Additionally, just as Judy opens the door we can see that although the interior deadbolt is affixed higher, its key cylinder on the exterior side is much lower, which makes no sense, but then the deadbolt is back to normal.Super Grover
Revealing mistake: When Woody falls out of the closet wrapped in the string lights he hears Buzz's voice, and in the next shot as Woody sneaks up to Hannah's room we see Sid's open door and doorway, which looks perfectly normal. However, after Woody rescues Buzz from Hannah's tea party they both stop in the hallway, and there's another shot of Sid's open door and doorway, only this time it's not normal to say the least. Five of the six hasps, bolts, and locks that should be (and normally are) screwed into and attached to the inside of Sid's door (one hasp mechanism, third one down from the top, is attached to the door's frame) are now actually kind of floating there in mid-air right beside the doorway, as if there's an invisible door there. Weird that Pixar artists deliberately did this, but it's bizarrely funny to see.Super Grover
Continuity mistake: When Carlotta brings the plates for the meal they all have a dome cover with a top handle, but when Sebastian runs across the table those handles have changed. (00:54:50)Super Grover
Continuity mistake: In the courtroom scene with King Neptune, Mindy's gold band keeps disappearing and reappearing. (00:13:20 - 00:14:55)Hamster
Continuity mistake: After Dory reads the wall map while she's in the glass carafe, when Hank hides behind the rolling cabinet there's a long shot of the corridor with him at the far wall, then in the next shot from behind Hank a drinking fountain has suddenly appeared on the wall to the left between two pictures.Super Grover
Continuity mistake: The tiger bites the seat off the suitor's trousers, allowing the viewer to see his polka-heart boxers. When we see the tiger in the courtyard, he has a part of the same boxer shorts in his mouth. So if he bit off the seat of the trousers, shouldn't he have purple cloth in his mouth? (00:11:45)
Continuity mistake: When Mr.Incredible lands on the island, he gets stuck in his capsule, eventually smashing it to get out. He starts stretching, bending backwards. The angle lowers to show that Mr.Incredible suit is now a two piece, revealing his fat belly. During the rest of the movie the suit is a one-piece, so this wouldn't be possible. (00:35:15)
Continuity mistake: When Nelson says "I'm using a red arrow so I know who I kill," the word "Springfield" appears on his sweatshirt. It wasn't in the previous shot. (00:34:40)Cubs Fan
Continuity mistake: The wagon, which is full of explosives, is on fire, so Mulan cuts Kahn (the horse) free with her sword and jumps onto Khan. She starts to ride away, while she holds the reins in her left hand and the sword with her right hand, up in the air. The wagon explodes and in the next shot, she still holds the reins in her left hand, though the sword, still in midair in her right hand, is now actually in its sheath, which is always attached to the left side of her belt. Some arrows are missing on the ground as well. Then her sheathed sword lands on the ground beside her. (00:53:45)Super Grover
Continuity mistake: When the seven dwarves run scared down the stairs and out of the door, Dopey pulls the handle of the door from the inside until it breaks out and falls away. The next scene when the dwarf opens the door, the handle is there again. (00:33:00)
Continuity mistake: When Shrek backs into the two barrels at the tournament, they both have taps on them. He then bashes one of these off with the beer mug. But when Donkey rolls the other barrel the tap has vanished on that one as well. (00:24:00)rabid anarchist
Factual error: The word 'magician' is spelled 'magicinan' on the cart when Nicholas bends down to collect the spiders web. (00:50:30)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the movie when the 'false' Buzz Light Year is running along the air conditioning ducts his 'New Utility Belt' disappears then reappears again. (01:01:55)
Continuity mistake: When the dentist wants to put Nemo in a bag, he has a Ziploc (a plastic bag with a zipper) but when he finally catches him, it has changed to a normal plastic bag.Dr Wilson
Continuity mistake: Just before Flynn cuts off Rapunzel's hair, there is a shot from behind him and he reaches up with his right hand to push her hair behind her ear. His arm is visible up to his forearm and the shackle is nowhere in sight. However, in the next, wide shot, the shackle is suddenly up around his wrist. (01:01:20)virtual-toast
Continuity mistake: When Alice returns to the caterpillar and he says "keep your temper" he is coloured opposite to how he normally looks, with a dark blue front and light blue back. (00:34:15)Hamster
Continuity mistake: When Mom gives Molly the donation box she writes "Sunnyside" on one side of the corrugated box. When the Sunnyside box is in the car and also when Mom carries it to the daycare, there is printed writing at the side of the box (to the right of the "e" in Sunnyside) under the hand hole, but when Bonnie's Mom carries the box into the butterfly room that writing has vanished, then it reappears when the kids go to recess. (00:19:25)Super Grover
Continuity mistake: When Honey meets Hiro, she has earbuds in her ears playing music. She starts talking to Hiro, pulls them out of her ears, and they dangle out of her shirt. The dangling earbuds disappear in the close up shot of her and Hiro.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie, a few seconds after Lilo attacks Myrtle, all the girls, including Myrtle, gather behind the director. Myrtle's bracelet of leaves is still on. Then when it cuts to her, Myrtle says, "Ew, she bit me." and the bracelet is gone. (00:13:10)
Continuity mistake: Remy is reunited with his father in Paris. They are in a conversation at a little table. Remy's 'cup' moves closer to the edge of the table, towards our left, in several shots.ployp

Jorhat police officer Debojit Das, who grabbed headlines after his two daughters donated him part of one's liver and a kidney, breathed his last at a hospital in New Delhi, leaving his daughters and other family members in a state of shock and dismay.
Debojit Das' two daughters — Krishnakhi and Prerona — had set the highest example of parental love and care by donating a part of one's liver and a kidney to save their father's life. While Krishnakhi donated part of her liver, doctors transplanted one of Prerona's kidneys on her ailing father. The two daughters along with their ailing father were successfully operated upon and were recuperating under the watchful eyes of doctors and nursing staff.
However, Debojit Das' health deteriorated and he finally breathed his last at Apollo Hopsitals in New Delhi yesterday.
The family had to even sell their house and property to meet his medical expenses. However, despite their best efforts to bring him to good health, he could not be saved.
Incidentally, Krishnakhi and Prerona's story had become the talking point in the social media with people heaping praises on them for taking such a very big step to save their father's life.

The restaurant industry as a whole is one of the hardest things to get into. Although the failure rate is high, it is not so much the industry as it is the people who are investing in it. Many think it will be fun and delve into their own restaurant without doing the proper research or having the proper knowledge. It would not matter what industry they were going, they would not. Due to the competitive market, franchises are some of the safest bets in the economic market today. Here are a few benefits of restaurant franchise operations
Brand Recognition -. Because money is so tight for so many people these days, people want to know what they are getting for their dollar. Someone is likely to go to McDonalds for a hamburger than they would Joes Burger Shack simply because they know the product. Do not ever underestimate name recognition in this niche
Advertising -. But it is up to the individual owners to do their own local advertising, restaurant franchises benefit from national advertising is done by major companies. This will continue to keep the brand in focus and may be responsible for people getting off of the couch his or stopped on the way home from work
a better chance of success -. Franchises are a whole lot better than mom and pop style restaurants. The amount of research that goes into the settlement of the place is overwhelming and companies like McDonalds, Burger King, Outback and Houlihan's to spend more money to do demographic studies than most people have in its budget. They want to make sure that the location will be effective before it always opens its doors
Training -. When Mom and Pop restaurant is open, all the training and knowledge is the sole responsibility of the owner. When opening the franchise owner will more than likely have had to work at the restaurant for at least one year and receive training on all aspects of the business from corporate trainers. This education will be invaluable to the success of the restaurant
Funding -. Get a loan is never an easy process, but when opening a franchise, it is much less difficult. The banks will generally be safer to go with a proven model. It may also be possible to borrow directly from the restaurant company itself. In many cases, they will put up some investment money and raise the franchise fee and growth. There are plenty of options to pursue
Product Control -. A normal restaurant will be set up all contracts with suppliers and if the owner does not know what they are doing, this can be a huge area losses they will get all they can out of any given option. Most franchises have approved suppliers that can be bought off by the prices are more or less agreed upon already. Everyone is paying the same as the company monitors quality control. This is a huge load off the shoulders of the owners.
Restaurant get a very bad rap in the business, but this is more because people who open them have no idea what the industry really is. The amount of work it takes to open and run a successful restaurant is pretty important. Open franchise will give you more training and proven model of success to help you succeed in an industry where people do not.

K-Loan Outreach pays off for Kansans
Jeanette Graue, K-Loan Alternative Finance Manager, presented information about the K-Loan program at the 14th Kansas Disability Caucus, August 2018 in Topeka. At the Caucus, attendees gather information about topics of interest, discuss issues that affect their lives, and learn new solutions to barriers they face. A popular topic is money management and that is a subject close to Jeanette's heart. The K-Loan program offers low interest loans designed to help individuals with chronic health problems or disabilities obtain a variety of equipment that can be used at home, school, or on the job. (http://k-loan.net/)
Jeanette's 2018 presentation was well received and as it turned out, better than she had imagined. In February 2019, Jeanette received an inquiry from a person who had been in the audience at the presentation in August. This person was so impressed with the K-Loan mission and scope of services that she wanted to know if she could name K-Loan as a beneficiary in her will. Jeanette said yes and wished her good health, and later said, "What an unexpected surprise that phone call was. For someone who has benefitted from assistive technology herself and then to pay it forward is just wonderful. I know many people will be helped by her generosity."
Sara Sack, K-Loan Project Director, observed, "Having access to assistive technology--hearing aids to help you hear better so you stay active and involved in your community; an adapted vehicle so you or a loved one can travel to work, school, or wherever you want to go; or vision devices to help you capture the information you need for health, safety, or pleasure—is so important. Being able to finance those purchases over time makes acquiring the technology possible and may help borrowers build a positive credit record. K-Loan is such an incredible program and to have someone recognize the power that financial independence can give is life-changing."
Previously, Assistive Technology for Kansans (ATK) was named a beneficiary for Gerald "Jerry" Vogel's estate. The Vogel Fund was established to help individuals purchase assistive technology according to established guidelines. More information is available at the ATK website http://atk.ku.edu/jerry-vogel-assistive-technology-fund.

FAIRLY launched now upon the birth of the Gothic, Paris presents an embarrassment of riches in churches which show the transition as well as the full flower of this delightful period. A visit to Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the most accessible, as it is the most perfect example of its type, might well be preceded by a tour of some of the smaller, fragmentary churches, of earlier actual construction, such as Saint-Germain-de-Charonne, near the cemetery Pere Lachaise, Saint-Pierre-de-Montmartre, Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, and most beautiful of all the old priory church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs, now part of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers.
If one leaves these for a following chapter, it is not only because Saint-Germain-I'Auxerrois antedates them in point of foundation, but also with the hope that as acquaintance with these churches grows the loiterer will have more interest in discovering such scattered relics of a richer time, and more cleverness in detecting their genuine features.
In Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois as it stands we see, despite much lamentable modification and restoration, a very beautiful example of Gothic architecture in its flower. The belfry belongs to the XIIth century, the main entrance, choir, and apse to the first half of the XIIIth, the greater part of the facade, the nave, the transepts, and the chapels to the XVth and XVIth centuries.
Restorations have been many and disastrous, the last dating from the reign of Napoleon III, when the edifice was made part of an architectural scheme which included the erection of the town hall or Mairie of the Arrondissement du Louvre, built in imitation of the Gothic church to which it forms a pendant, and the tower, by Ballu, standing between them.
The value of this arrangement, so confusing to visitors, is more than doubtful. While making rather a handsome terminus to the Louvre the imitations rob Saint-Germain of its unique importance, diminish its intrinsic lustre.
As Saint-Germain-des-Pres relates to the good bishop of Paris, so Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois is dedicated to the still earlier bishop of Auxerre, him who consecrated Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. Though the exact period of its foundation is unknown, Lebeuf thinks it was first constructed to commemorate some miracle or act of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre during his sojourn in the city, or that it may have been erected by Saint-Germain of Paris, as a tribute to his greatly venerated predecessor.
After the tradition of the diocese King Childebert and Ultrogothe, his queen, enriched the new church, whose importance became second only to that of the cathedral. In 866 it was sacked by the Normans and converted by them into a for-tress, after which it was called Saint-Germain-le-Rond, from its circular form. From the time of Charlemagne at least, a public school of great celebrity attracted to the cloister numerous students, its location recalled in the name of the Place de. l'Ecole, running from behind the right side of the church to the quai, which formerly bore the same name, the name by which they were known in the XIIIth century. The life of King Robert (by Helgaud) mentions the rebuilding of the church by this prince, but that reconstruction has been wiped out by a later one done with thoroughness and deliberation.
A cloister once enclosed a part of the church and the house of the dean stood opposite the porch, between the church and the Louvre; old cuts show chapels, one each side of the porch, and a steeple surmounting the tower. It was from this tower that the tocsin was rung after mid-night on the morning of August 24, 1572, by the order of Catherine de Medicis, as the signal for the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew, and the modern tower marks the spot where, two days before, an attempt had been made upon the life of Admiral Coligny, the first victim of the massacre, as he was returning from the Louvre to his home, in the Rue de Betizy, along the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain. The house from which the shot was fired was that of the Canon Pierre de Pille de Villemur, a former preceptor of the Duke of Guise. It stood in the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain, contiguous to the church, into which there was an opening from it by a back door. The assassin made his escape through the cloister, mounted a horse which stood ready saddled for him, and fled from the city by the Porte Saint-Antoine.
In the Place de l'Ecole lived in the XIVth century Etienne Marcel, provost of the merchants of Paris, who as chief of the Jacquerie led the revolt of the lower classes against the nobles during the captivity of the king, Jean le Bon; and here lived also, as a boy of fourteen, Calvin, the reformer, with his uncle Richard, a locksmith, in a little room overlooking the church, awakened each morning by the chants to attend the College de la Marche.
The church, of course, antedates the Louvre, which at its most remote construction dates from the time of Philippe Auguste, but when built both the Louvre and the Tuileries became parishioners of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, making it the royal church of Paris, and many princes of France were baptised here.
It is undoubtedly the portico which gives to the church its distinguished character and contributes its most piquant note of elegance. This porch is the work of Jean Gaussel, and dates from 1435, in the reign of Charles VII. Its picturesqueness is created in part by the disposition of the seven pointed arches which give free access to it, five across the front and one at each end. The vaulted ceiling, low at the sides and high in the middle, is marked by prismatic ribs converging from the angles and tied together at their points of junction by a boss, or stud, or escutcheon, elaborately sculptured. The central one, bearing the arms of France, has been displaced, but on the two sides, under the lower vaultings, one makes out readily the circular de-signs, in full relief, painted and gilded, of the Last Supper and the Adoration of Christ by the Shepherds. Where the ribs finish against the walls, there are consoles representing a fool with his bauble, grotesques, and little animals in different attitudes, carved with relish.
Of the ancient figures of the porch there re-main but that of Sainte-Marie-I'Egyptienne, against the second pillar from the left end, and a much mutilated Saint Francis of Assisi at the other extremity. The carving of the former is vigorous, the figure lifelike and animated, obviously much earlier than the others. The sculptor had evidently filled himself with the naive history of this saint, for in the quaint figure, clothed in her long, wavy tresses, and holding piled one upon the other the three loaves of bread with which she is to be nourished during a lifetime of penitence in the desert, we seem to feel the whole touching story as told in La Legende Doree.
Translated from the Latin of the most ancient manuscripts, the story runs briefly that Zozime, an abbot, having crossed the Jordan, hoping to encounter in the desert some saintly hermit, saw one day before him a bizarre creature, entirely nude, with the body burned black with the sun.
Seeing him the creature fled across the sands and Zozime ran after it " with all the force of his legs." Then it spoke surprisingly, saying : " Abbe Zozime, why do you pursue me? Pardon me that I cannot turn towards you ; it is because I am a woman, and quite nude. Throw me your cloak, in order that, being covered, I may look at you without shame." The abbot, stupefied to hear himself called by name, divined at once that he had to do with a person of super-natural powers. He threw his mantle and, prostrating himself before her, asked her to bless him. But she said: " It is for you rather to bless me, father, you who are clothed with the dignity of priesthood."
The abbot now more than ever convinced that the woman was indeed especially endowed prevailed upon her to bless him and afterwards to tell him her history. " I am called Marie," she begins, " and I was born in Egypt." At the age of twelve, recounts Marie, she went to Alexandria and commenced the career of public courtesan, which she continued for seventeen years, but being converted in Jerusalem, where she had gone from curiosity to see the holy cross, she had promised to renounce the world and live forevermore in chastity. While she was praying before the cross a stranger put three pieces of money into her hand, and with these she purchased the three loaves of bread.
Obeying a voice she crossed the Jordan and took up her abode in the desert, where for forty-six years she lived without ever seeing a human face, subsisting upon the three loaves of bread, which, becoming hard as stone, still sufficed for her nourishment.
Zozime comes again twice to the desert to ad-minister the holy sacrament to Marie on Easter day. The second time he finds her lying dead near the place of their first encounter, and where, aided by a friendly lion, he digs a grave and piously inters her remains.
The story, as told by the ancient narrator, is full of convincing detail, such as is demanded by children. Everything is accounted for. Having no money to pay her passage from Alexandria to Jerusalem when she wishes to make that pious pilgrimage with the other inhabitants of the city, she makes a bargain with the boatman, which, though shameful, she does not hesitate to de-scribe to Zozime, feeling, perhaps, that the end justified the means. While, as to her garments, " long ago," says she, " they fell in pieces."
It seems fairly certain that originally the spirited statue of the portico of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois stood frankly nude according to the narrative. The bit of drapery, now hung across the arms, which may pass for the cloak of the abbe Zozime, was probably added by a prudish hand at some later date than the statue itself.
Though scraped of its rich gilding and colouring, to accord with the modern Mairie, the portico still retains something of the warmth of its former richness, and exhales a certain delicate glow. In the statue of the Egyptian are strong traces of pigment, while the little motifs of the ceiling are full of colour, and the doors are rich in gold leaf.
Three doors give access to the church ; those at the sides are of XVth century make. The central one belongs to the first half of the XIIIth century, and is therefore earlier than the portico itself. During the reign of Louis XIV it lost its central upright figure, a statue of Christ, and the " Last Judgment " of the tympanum. The pier has been replaced and a statue of the Virgin, of a later epoch has been supplied. The sculpture of the tympanum has been replaced by a painting on the stone, now nearly effaced.
The door preserves, however, the six statues of its embrasure and the three historic choirs of its archivolt. The study of Notre-Dame makes easy the reading of the story of this portal, and one recognizes in the figures to the left Saint-Vincent (the second patron of the church), a bearded king, presumably Childebert, and a queen, probably Ultrogothethe benefactors of the original foundation; to the right, Saint-Germain d'Auxerre, in bishop's robes, Sainte-Genevieve with her candle and the traditional demon on her right shoulder trying to extinguish her light, and beside her an angel, smiling securely and holding an-other lighted taper ready to relight the saint's candle, should the demon succeed.
Each figure stands upon a grotesque support contrived to form a console. Saint-Vincent makes of the prefect who condemned him his footstool, Childebert treads upon a griffon, Ultrogothe upon a devil; while upon the opposite side we see a stooping man, and two demons of hideous form.
A Gothic inscription of the XVth or XVIth century once named the king and queen, but their identity seems plain enough in any case from the connection of Childebert and his consort with the original edifice and from the resemblance which the figure of the king bears to the statue of Childebert in the Louvre.
In the archivolt are assembled thirty figures in an excellent state of preservation relating to the Last Judgment, which, as in the central door of Notre-Dame, made the theme of the destroyed tympanum. In the first row of figures, to the left, sits Abraham, between two trees, holding upon his bosom, as it were, the redeemed, while upon the opposite side of the door is represented a vivid scene of Hell, with three lost souls, two demons, etc. Six angels, their eyes turned towards the tympanum, complete the first row of figures, and a cherub, with wings, makes the centre. The wise and foolish virgins fill the second choir, and, lest there be doubt as to which is which, the sculptor has veiled the hair of the former with scarfs and given them a modest air, their lamps upright and alight, while the foolish virgins are coiffed in a worldly manner and carry their lamps upside down. At the point of the arch two hands come through a cloud and hold a ribbon which floats to the right and left and still bears traces of lettering nearly effaced.
The twelve apostles, sitting each under a little dais and carrying the instruments of their martyrdom, form the third row over this door. The heads are remarkable in nobility and expression. John by exception holds the celestial palm and the vase from which the dragon issues,
Above the porch the facade is pierced by a rose window, at each side of which rises a small tower of elegant design, while surmounting all, upon the point of the gable end of the nave, is a modern angel, by Marochetti. The exterior is rich in stone carving of the XVth centurybalustrades, gables, consoles, gargoyles, cornices embellished with leaves and flowers and little grotesques of men and beasts.
The buttresses end in small foliated steeples, from which are suspended at right angles the extraordinary gargoyles of this churchfantastic birds, griffons, monkeys, wolves, dogs, bears, etc. At the southwest angle a showman strikes with a ring upon a tablet and makes a monkey go through his paces; further down a savage, armed with a club, comes grinning out of the mouth of a hippopotamus. The consoles under the gargoyles are full of interest and reflect the lively imagination of the time. An opera glass would not be amiss for the study and thus aided one can distinguish a world of symbolisma beggar with his dog, a fool, a sow suckling her family, the earth, represented as a globe, eaten by rats which escape across the crevasses while a cat watches the passage.
Unfortunately much restoration has destroyed a great deal and only a few of the numerous gargoyles remain.
The belfry rises from the right-hand side, at the southeast angle of the cross, where the choir joins the transept. That it belongs to the XIIth century, before the development of Gothic architecture, is plain from the full arch of the bays, the cornices with modillons, the little square pillars, the imposts of the Roman style. The balustrade is modern, for the XVIIIth century decapitated the tower, suppressed its high shire of stone and its four little steeples.
Inside, despite many changes, the effect of this old church is impressive and beautiful. Of its rich original ornamentation the nave retains only a few escutcheons, handsomely carved and locking the intersections of the ribs of the vaulting. Seated in the nave with the head turned to the roof one can make out clearly the figures of Saint Vincent, one of the patrons of the church, Saint John, Saint Landry, and Saint Christopher. The most elaborate is that of Saint-Germain in episcopal robes, painted and gilded against a rose in stone, in the Chapel to the Virgin, on the right-hand side of the nave.
This chapel occupies the entire space opening from the south aisle and constitutes a complete little church in itself, with stalls, organ, pulpit, a cloister in carved wood, and an altar rich in bas-reliefs. Upon the reredos is a richly carved tree of Jesse, full of royal figures, and in the centre a XIVth century Virgin, of painted stone, brought from a church in Champagne.
Such windows of value as Saint-Germain pre-serves of its former plenitude date from the XVth and XVIth centuries. These are the two roses to the north and south and six windows of the transept. Smaller and later than those of Notre-Dame, they are interesting for the beautiful shapes of the spaces into which the stonework of their construction divides them. The colouring is much less brilliant than that of earlier glass, but is soft and harmonious ; the effect here is, unfortunately, greatly diminished by the glare in this church caused by the suppression of the windows of the clerestory of the nave (destroyed about 1728) . When the whole church was lighted by windows similar to those of the transept the effect must have been very beautiful.
In the north rose the subject begins to develop from the centre, where is placed the Eternal Father in the costume of a pope. Around him are several circles of angels, cherubs, martyrs, and confessors. Amongst the martyrs are Saint-Vincent, Sainte-Agnes, Sainte-Marguerite, Sainte-Catherine, and Sainte-Marthe; amongst the confessors, Saint-Germain d'Auxerre and Saint-Louis.
The south rose, especially admirable for its effect of light and colour, develops the subject of the Holy Ghost, which in the form of a dove descends from the top compartment, from a sky filled with rays of glory. The Virgin and the apostles receive the first effusion of grace and light, which in diminishing brilliancy and increasing depth of shadow extends to a numerous choir of disciples and saints.
The side windows of the north and south transept belong to the XVIth century and show even more than the roses the growth of the art from the strict conventionality of early Gothic to the vivacity and picturesque costume of the Renaissance. All these windows were taken out during the war and are only now, little by little, being returned to their places.
The choir was enclosed until 1744 by a splendid rood-loft designed by Pierre Lescot and sculptured by Jean Goujon, the celebrated architect and sculptor of the Renaissance portions of the Louvre. This was taken out by the church war-dens and curates under the pretext of opening the sanctuary to the view of the faithful.
The Entombment and Four Evangelists, bas-reliefs in stone, are preserved amongst the treasures of the Renaissance sculpture in the Louvre.
This lamentable bit of ecclesiastic vandalism was perpetrated upon the suppression of the chapter. The new administration was not satisfied with the mere opening of the choir, they wished to improve the view thus presented by the creation of a modern choir, purified so far as was possible of the barbarous Gothic.
The actual plan of the disfigurement which one now sees was made by an architect called Bacarit. Under his direction the solid old columns of the choir were fluted, their leafy capitals transformed into garlands, while above the pointed arches was traced a stupid pattern in the stone. Only the vaultings, which could not be touched without weakening the construction, were spared, and in these may still be read the real date of the choir and apse, written large in the general form.
Saint-Germain was once rich in XVIth and XVIIth century tombs. The Louvre sent it many illustrious deadofficers of the royal house and artists whom kings had housed in the palace.
Besides chevaliers of orders, chancellors, gentle-men, secretaries of state, reposed the remains of the poet Malherbe, the savant Andre Dacier, the painters Coypel, Houasse, Stella, and Santerre; and the sculptors Sarazin, Desjardins, and Coyzevox.
Vaults hollowed out under the nave for the burial of ordinary parishioners still exist. There the bones are ranged with symmetry like a charnel house.
One cannot do better than to yield to the importunities of the sacristan, who is ever ready to show with care and intelligence the treasures of this church. It is he who will unlock for visitors the beautiful chapel to the Virgin, who will con-duct one to a little room built over the porch, to the right hand of the entrance, once dedicated to the archives and treasures of the chapter. There were two such rooms, to the left and right, and this one is still intact, with its old flooring, its carved wood wardrobes with iron hinges, and its old furniture. Amongst other things the room contains a triptych of the XVIth century carved and painted with the history of the Original Sin and the legend of the Virgin.
The pulpit and stalls have survived the Revolution; and the state seat of royalty, built in 1684, from designs by Lebrun, by Francois Mercier, still occupies an important place in the nave. The grill of the enclosure of the choir in polished iron with bronze ornaments is classed amongst the finest wrought iron work of the XVIIIth century.
The sacristan delights also in conducting visitors up the perilous ladders into the belfry, from which was rung the signal for the Massacre of Saint-Bartholomew, and to induce the unwary to ring the great bell at mid-day. This man is one of those rare creatures who knows his subject and loves it. I had a long talk with him one day soon after the declaration of the armistice when he had freshly returned from the trenches. He had " made all the front " he told me and returned unscratched, and to see him going peace-fully about his church duties one could scarcely figure him as an instrument in the recent calamity. He enticed me readily to the tower; we mounted stone stairways succeeded by delicately balanced ladders which bent. beneath our weight like straws, and finally landed upon a platform of rough boards, which formed little more than a ledge around the stone sides, while the middle yawned open above unfathomed depths.
The little man stepped about with the agility of a cat, urging upon me one folly after another until the thought struck me with force that he might readily have a touch of insanity as a result of his years of horror at the front, and I was seized with something of the panic which Henri IV experienced when he mounted the tower of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, accompanied by a single monk, to reconnoitre during the siege of Paris in 1589. I too was afraid the temptation to fling me down that abyss might prove too strong, but it was a mean thought, for the little sacristan was all kindness and jollity. We descended from the vertiginous scaffolding to the solid planks of the belfry in time to ring the angelus, and I shall never forget the little fellow clinging to the rope and letting the bell carry him high into space for my amusement, smiling gleefully the while like a merry gnome. He made me take hold when he had the bell well started and I scorched my hands with the ropes. Feeling that I had done some-thing exceptional I asked him if many ladies had made the trip to the extreme top, and, smiling with extraordinary glee, he said promptly: " Ah oui, Madame, surtout les Amcricaines."
During the upheavals of 1831 this church was robbed and pillaged by the mob. For six years after this the building was closed for worship and its sacristy and presbytery used as a mairie. Its demolition was decided upon in order to make a street from the Louvre to the Hotel de Ville, but the eloquence of Chateaubriand prevailed and the authorities were persuaded to spare "un des plus anciens monuments de Paris, et d'une epoque dont it ne reste presque plus rien."

[RTOS Task Notification API]
BaseType_t xTaskNotifyStateClear( TaskHandle_t xTask );
Each RTOS task has a 32-bit notification value which is initialised to zero when the RTOS task is created. An RTOS task notification is an event sent directly to a task that can unblock the receiving task, and optionally update the receiving task's notification value.
If a task is in the Blocked state to wait for a notification when the notification arrives then the task immediately exits the Blocked state and the notification does not remain pending. If a task was not waiting for a notification when a notification arrives then the notification will remain pending until the receiving task reads its notification value.
xTaskNotifyStateClear() is used to clear (Pending to Not Pending) a pending notification without the receiving task first needing to read its notification value.
xTaskNotifyStateClear() does not change the notification value.
- Parameters:
xTask The handle of the RTOS task that will have its notification state cleared. Set xTask to NULL to clear the notification state of the calling task.
To obtain a task's handle create the task using xTaskCreate() and make use of the pxCreatedTask parameter, or create the task using xTaskCreateStatic() and store the returned value, or use the task's name in a call to xTaskGetHandle().
The handle of the currently executing RTOS task is returned by the xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle() API function.
- Returns:
- If the task referenced by xTask had a notification pending, and the notification was cleared, then pdTRUE is returned. If the task referenced by xTask didn't have a notification pending then pdFALSE is returned.
Example usage:
[More examples are referenced from the main RTOS task notifications page]
/* An example UART send function. The function starts a UART transmission then
waits to be notified that the transmission is complete. The transmission
complete notification is sent from the UART interrupt. The calling task's
notification state is cleared before the transmission is started to ensure it is
not co-incidentally already pending before the task attempts to block on its
notification state. */
void vSerialPutString( const signed char * const pcStringToSend,
unsigned short usStringLength )
const TickType_t xMaxBlockTime = pdMS_TO_TICKS( 5000 );
/* xSendingTask holds the handle of the task waiting for the transmission to
complete. If xSendingTask is NULL then a transmission is not in progress.
Don't start to send a new string unless transmission of the previous string
is complete. */
if( ( xSendingTask == NULL ) && ( usStringLength > 0 ) )
/* Ensure the calling task's notification state is not already
pending. */
xTaskNotifyStateClear( NULL );
/* Store the handle of the transmitting task. This is used to unblock
the task when the transmission has completed. */
xSendingTask = xTaskGetCurrentTaskHandle();
/* Start sending the string - the transmission is then controlled by an
interrupt. */
UARTSendString( pcStringToSend, usStringLength );
/* Wait in the Blocked state (so not using any CPU time) until the UART
ISR sends a notification to xSendingTask to notify (and unblock) the
task when the transmission is complete. */
ulTaskNotifyTake( pdTRUE, xMaxBlockTime );

Performing Arts students at The Sixth Form College, Solihull got a taste of undergraduate study this week thanks to a masterclass from De Montfort University Leicester.
A level Dance and Drama & Theatre Studies students took part in the event, with a talk and workshops forming part of a 90-minute masterclass. Staff and students from De Montfort's Performing Arts faculty were in College to deliver these exciting sessions, which got the student participating in practical exercises and starting to think about what they might do after they leave College.
Drama students were split into three groups to take part in physical theatre workshops. These involved movement, speech and group interactions and encouraged students to improvise, creating interesting textual meaning. Dance students were taught a piece of degree level contemporary choreography and were encouraged to work as an ensemble to manipulate its speed and dynamics in response to a piece of music. The workshop had a key focus on group work and collaboration rather than relying on the use of mirrors in class.
Diane Dodd, Assistant Curriculum Leader for Creative Arts, commented:
"We've been so looking forward to having De Montfort University visit the College and their masterclass did not disappoint. The workshops were so interactive and they enabled the students to not only develop their performing skills, but also to work effectively together. Over the years, we have had quite a number of students progress to De Montfort University, so we know that it's a popular destination for our Performing Arts students. We are currently planning a follow up visit to Leicester to work on targeted projects."
Dance and Drama are just two of the A level subjects taught under the Performing Arts umbrella at the College; Music and Music Technology are also offered. Performing Arts sits within the Creative Arts curriculum area, which also offers A levels in Fine Art, Graphics, Photography and BTEC Art & Design.
More photos from this Masterclass are available on our Facebook page.

Massachusetts Lobstermen to rally in Plymouth over Cape Cod Bay closures
After a period of bad weather, surveyors of North Atlantic right whales were able to fly on Tuesday over Cape Cod Bay, where the continuing presence of the animals has led state officials to extend seasonal bans on high boating speeds and lobstering through May 14. But commercial lobstermen are beginning to bristle at the closures, citing the impact on their livelihood. South Shore lobstermen are planning a rally Thursday morning in Plymouth to protest the extended ban. "There's a lot of people that are suffering with this closure," said rally organizer Sheryl Holmes, whose husband, Roscoe "Stoney" Holmes, is a commercial lobsterman who owns the F/V Haley's Comet out of Plymouth. >click to read<21:59

Atlantic Canadian herring fisheries lose sustainability label
All three Marine Stewardship Council-certified herring fisheries in Atlantic Canada have lost their MSC-sustainability certification as the forage fish continues to struggle. Last week, the Seafood Producers Association of Nova Scotia voluntarily suspended its MSC certification on behalf of the 10 companies that operate an 11-vessel fleet of herring purse seiners primarily out of southwestern Nova Scotia.,,, "Over the last three years, the stock has been experiencing a decline and recent science information suggests that the stock is likely now in the critical zone.",,, Earlier this year, the 19-vessel purse seiner herring fishery off western Newfoundland, led by the Barry Group Inc. of St. John's, withdrew from MSC certification after auditors warned it was taking too many,,,>click to read<11:06

Shrimp industry eyes visas; Another 30,000 seasonal workers to be allowed in
The head of the Texas Shrimp Association said it's unclear how much a Trump administration decision allowing another 30,000 foreign seasonal workers into the United States this year will help the state's shrimpers. The 30,000 extra H-2B visas the government said it will issue are above the usual cap of 66,000 visas per fiscal year — 33,000 the first half and 33,000 the second half. The domestic seafood industry, seasonal hotels, landscaping companies and other businesses rely heavily on the H-2B program to fill positions, though the strong economy is making it harder than usual for employers to find enough workers. >click to read<09:31

Here is a article that sounds very interesting with respect to the impact of arms sales on initiating subsequent conflict. I haven't acquired or read this article. It is available for purchase (or free use for qualified users) from Jstore
The Arms Trade and the Incidence of Political Violence in Sub-Saharan Africa, 1967-97
- Journal of Peace Research, Vol. 39, No. 6 (Nov., 2002), pp. 693-710 (article consists of 18 pages)
- Published by: Sage Publications, Ltd.
Abstract:"The role of the weapons trade has often been ignored in the study of conflict. This article presents empirical research that strongly supports a broad conceptualization of armed conflict in Africa and addresses a critical gap in the literature on the arms trade and war. Using multivariate binomial logistic regression, it finds that arms transfers are significant and positive predictors of increased probability of war. The models, which also include posited conflict-related domestic political, economic, military, and cultural variables, explain 90% of the cases and two-thirds of the war cases, thus making a further contribution to the understanding of conflict dynamics and correlates. In addition to arms transfers, six other variables — semi-democracy, regime transitions, military spending, cumulative previous conflict, and ethno-political groupings — correctly predict war incidence, while economic development exhibits the expected negative relationship; two other factors — repression and colonial legacy — contrary to expectations, are also negatively related. The analysis and findings, while not asserting explicit causal links between arms transfers and the incidence of political violence, support the view that weapons acquisitions are virtually necessary as ingredients in the recipe for war, and that meaningful restraint by suppliers and recipients alike is needed to break the nexus between arms and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa."

How is schizophrenia diagnosed?
Diagnostic scales are widely used within clinical practice and research settings. These scales have been extensively validated and provide a set of criteria that is used to define and diagnose an illness. Two key examples include the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) and the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Both the DSM and ICD criteria are regularly updated, and the most recent versions are the DSM-5 and the ICD-10. For a DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia, at least two symptoms need to have been present for at least six months, and for a significant portion of time over a one-month period. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganised speech and behaviour, catatonic behaviour, and negative symptoms such as diminished emotional expression, poverty of speech, and lack of purposeful action. At least one symptom of delusions, hallucinations, or disorganised speech needs to be present, and there also needs to be significant social or occupational dysfunction. For an ICD-10 diagnosis of schizophrenia, either at least one symptom of delusions, hallucinations, or thought symptoms (thought echo, insertion, withdrawal, or broadcasting) needs to be present, or at least two symptoms of hallucinations, negative symptoms, catatonic behaviour, or incoherent/irrelevant speech needs to be present for most of the time for at least one month.
What is the evidence on schizophrenia diagnosis?
Moderate to high quality evidence finds the DSM-III, DSM-III-R and DSM-IV diagnostic criteria assigns more males with psychosis to a schizophrenia diagnosis (rather than any other psychosis diagnosis), while the ICD-9 shows no differences in gender distribution. Males are also found to have more negative symptoms.
Moderate quality evidence find Black people in the United States are more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than White people in the United States. This effect was largest in studies with more males, more White patients, more young patients, studies in hospital or military settings, and studies conducted in the Midwest, Southeast, National, or multistate USA.
Moderate to high quality evidence suggests the proportion of first-episode psychosis patients retaining a diagnosis of schizophrenia over time is around 90%, and 72% for schizoaffective disorder.
Moderate quality evidence finds moderate predictive value and good kappa agreement for schizophrenia and schizophrenia-spectrum diagnoses, good predictive value and kappa agreement for any psychotic disorder, but poor predictive value and kappa agreement for schizoaffective disorder.
Moderate to high quality evidence suggests better test-retest reliability for a diagnosis of schizophrenia than for a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, but lower than for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or unipolar depression. There was poorer interrater reliability for a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder than for a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or unipolar depression.
Moderate quality evidence suggests excellent specificity and good sensitivity of latent semantic analysis for recognising a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Latent semantic analysis estimates the degree of incoherence in speech. There is also evidence to support vector machines combined with other machine learning techniques applied to structural and functional neuroimaging data (particularly prefrontal and temporal) for assisting the clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia.

As per the certification training standard from the Workplace, Health, Safety and Compensation Commission (WHSCC), "the aim of the training is to give OH&S committees/WH&S representatives the basic knowledge they require to fulfill their duties and responsibilities under the and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations."
Effective July 1, 2015, there is now one program for OH&S Committee and WHSR/Ds with a minimum of two-days (14 hours) of classroom time. There is a new Participants Manual and an interactive component, where participants will practice what they've learned in a mock OH&S Committee meeting.
Committees/Representatives/Designates must renew their OH&S Committee training every three (3) years from the date of their certification.
Phased-in Renewals:
If you have completed OH&S Committee training prior to July 1, 2015, it is still valid. Through a phased-in approach for moving to the new program, certificate holders have until June 30, 2018 to complete the new training program or re-certification program and the training must be renewed every three years thereafter.
Who Should Attend?
As per WHSCC, "Employers are required to provide training as follows:
- Workplaces with less than 10 workers shall provide training for a WH&S health and safety representative
- Workplaces with less than 6 workers shall provide training for a WH&S designate when applicable
- Workplaces with 10 – 49 workers shall provide training for the occupational health and safety committee co-chairs
- Workplaces with 50 or more workers shall provide training for all occupational health and safety committee members…"

I don't know why the tests keep failing, though, it works locally.
I took a look and found fixes for the unit tests. Before I got into that debugging though, I noticed some problems with the JSON library that I'm not sure what to do with. It turns out those are unrelated to the test failures.
I left details about these in comments on the closed pull request, which might not have been the best place: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/pull/102
And in hindsight the problem with the (body) macro should probably have been obvious, considering HTML tables are built using (tab) and not (table). I'm starting to think everything other than (tag) should be done away with to avoid the issue in principle, but that would be a major undertaking and probably mostly just bikeshedding.

Alex O'Loughlin has compared his Hawaii Five-0 character to 24's Jack Bauer.
Speaking to TV Guide, O'Loughlin explained that the new version of Steve McGarrett is morally ambiguous and is prepared to use torture to get to the truth.
"That messy boy stuff is what I like most," he said. "There are definitely Jack Bauer elements to my Steve McGarrett."
He continued: "He's not averse to methods others would be jailed for. I did a scene yesterday where I'm hanging a guy by his ankles 36 stories above Waikiki."
Meanwhile, Scott Caan explained that his character Danny does not immediately get on with McGarrett.
"Our characters are set up to butt heads," he said. "But we're alike in a lot of ways."
Hawaii Five-0 premieres on September 20 on CBS.

WHITNEY HOUSTON has signed what appears to be the biggest record contract in history agreeing a $100 million deal with ARISTA.
Under the terms of the deal the troubled diva is set to deliver at least six albums plus two Greatest Hits collections to Arista, her home throughout her career.
According to a Reuters report, Houston is due to head into the studio within weeks to begin recording the first of the albums. Arista president Antonio 'LA' Reid is mooted to executive produce.
News of the signing scuppers reports that Houston was to defect to J Records, the label recently established by Arista founder Clive Davis. Davis was ousted and replaced by Reid in Spring 2000 in a battle over boardroom succession.
"We didn't have to fight for it," Reid told Variety in the US. "Whitney was a big supporter of the company from the get-go – there was never any conversation about her leaving."
Houston's deal eclipses the $80 million that took the recently hospitalised Mariah Carey from Sony to Virgin. Houston has sold some 140 million albums and singles during her career.

"Soccer is a pleasurable team sport that provides an all-round fitness and can be used as a treatment for lifestyle-related diseases."
The aforementioned statement has been taken from the results of a Soccer Research Project that involved more than 50 researchers across seven countries. They studied sociological, psychological and physiological aspects of recreational soccer and found that playing soccer leads a person to broad-spectred fitness and health benefits.
Led by Jens Bangsbo and Peter Krustrup (Department of Exercise and Sports Sciences) from University of Copenhagen, this Research Project showed several remarkable results. We are listing the highlights of those results.
Improves Muscle Strength
According to the research project which studied over effects of playing soccer, playing soccer regularly improves muscle strength. The research also revealed that the effect of regular participation is soccer is slightly different on adult men comparing to women.
Better Bone Density from Soccer than Running
Most of the people know that no exercise increases bone density as much as running does but the fact is participating regularly in soccer provides better bone density than Running. A 14-weeks study, in which few women (of 20-47 years' age) were trained twice a week to play soccer, found significant bone density increases in the left & right tibia.
Muscle Strength and Bone Density Last Longer than Expected
The Research Group also involved 65-75 years' old men and examined their muscle functions and bone density. The report revealed that "70-year-old men, who have played soccer most of their lives on a recreational basis, have just as good a balance and rapid muscle strength as untrained 30-year-olds and much better balance and muscle strength than their peers".
These benefits can be gained from regular participation in soccer and regularly doesn't mean daily, twice in a week would be sufficient if you don't have much time. All you need is a good coach who can guide you if you are doing wrong. Find the right soccer coach in your area for FREE through KINCT and improve your health and fitness. Remember, health is wealth.

VILNIUS - Lithuania expect to receive in June an invitation to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Finance Minister Vilius Sapoka said.
A economic survey of Lithuania, a necessary instrument for membership that identifies the impact of policies in various sectors on long-term growth and the macroeconomic situation, was presented during a OECD committee meeting in Paris on Monday.
"The secretariat presented a survey of Lithuania. The discussion is going very smoothly," Sapoka told BNS by telephone from Paris.
"I'm glad to say that most of the recommendations made in the survey are either being implemented or envisaged in the plan of measures of the government's program," he added.
The minister expects all recommendations to be made public within a month and a half.
"The survey is still being finalized. So, it would be somewhat too early now to list specific recommendations," he said.
Sapoka described the presentation of the economic survey as one of the final tests for Lithuania to become an OECD member.
The OECD, often dubbed the "Club of the Rich", currently includes 35 countries with a high level of economic development. Lithuania was invited to initiate the OECD accession process in June 2015.

Dave and I attended Home Street Mennonite Church on Sunday and Ingrid Peters Fransen, the speaker started her sermon by asking "What is sin?" She went on to say that some things conservative Mennonites used to think were sins –drinking, dancing and smoking –are no longer considered sins by most Mennonites. Many people don't think pre-marital sex or divorce or swearing are sins, yet just a generation or two ago, these were definitely considered sinful.
In 2003 when I was a columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press I wrote an article about why the traditional Seven Deadly Sins were no longer relevant for the present day and suggested it might be a good idea to trade them in for some more modern and politically correct sins. It was a column which generated lots of mail from readers who felt it was important to maintain the traditional sins.
In 2008 the Vatican also decided that the list of seven deadly sins needed updating and came up with their own list. It included environmental pollution, genetic manipulation, accumulating excessive wealth, inflicting poverty, drug trafficking, morally debatable experiments and the violation of fundamental human rights.
Ingrid said in her sermon on Sunday that after a lengthy time of exile God told the children of Israel in Isaiah 45 that their sin had been infidelity to God. They had turned to other gods. She challenged us to think about what things were our gods- what things did we give priority in our lives? Was it perfecting our appearance, increasing our income, being successful at our work, pursuing various kinds of entertainment? Did we put those things before our relationships with others, before our relationship with God?
I wonder if it is helpful to make generic lists of sins. If as Ingrid suggested on Sunday sins are indeed those things that we put before others and God in terms of our time and energy, then we will each have a very personal list. What next? In this advent season as we celebrate the coming of Jesus, who offered freedom from sin, perhaps the important thing for us is to decide in which areas we need to put the brakes on, and start setting different priorities. How can we free ourselves from those things which interfere with the building and strengthening of meaningful life-giving relationships?
